unfordable river is not an idea that
ones mind is able to contemplate for
moment" Lord Kitchener's state Of
mind on the eve of battle was not the
least like that of most generals, accord
ing to "A Staff Officer" who lends no
color to the popular view of Lord
Kitchener's bloodthirstiness. 4 think
11e looked on battle as necessary
but exceedingly vulgar and noisy braWl.
and that the intellectual part Of him
always regretted when he could not
strangle or starve the enemy out with
out crude appeal to brute force. IT
he could have been induced to issue an
order for the battle, it would have read
somewhat as follows if it had come
from his heart: Here you are, 0
troops! and there Is your enemy. L
have clothed you, fed you, cared for
you, placed you in the most advanta-
geous tactical and strategical position
possible, so now please go and fight 1t
out, and let me know when it is all
over. He knew his fighting generals
and trusted them, and his trust was
never misplaced; and if he is not the
hawk-eyed battle-Chief that Wellington
was. he is this much the more, that ne
places his own men in positions where
they cannot lose, and the enemy in po-
sitions where they cannot win. can
any one ask for m0re?"
Lord Kitchener enjoyed some mar
lous escapes in the Sudan; he never
seems to have had much thought for
his personal safety. The Atbara was
stiff fight, and rather dangerous
fight to boot, for at one moment every
body who held g rifle, friend and foe
alike, was firing towards every point
of the compass. Into that hell kltche-
ner rode almost alone, and quite I'M
armed, holding up his hand to stop the
firing, and offering pardon to the still
| living remnant of the vanqutshed, VINO
rushed out from trench and hut to
| throw themselves and their arms at his
| feet, as though recognizing the master
| spirit, and seeking safety under MS
| shadow. Yet there were some who did
| not hesitate to accuse him afterwards
| of every crime against humanity, and
| I recall that scene and wonder at the
little wisdom and less justice of his
| worthless detractors." "A Stan ON
Ger" records a curious instance of the
manner in which the eternal feminine
| entered into Lord KitChener's calcula-
| TONS when Mahmud marched to the
Atbara Kitchener raised his|camp anc

miles from his foe, and waited. NJ
matter which line of advance the der

fought. But to most of us the one con
| suming dread through all these Ions
| days of waiting was that Mahmut
should escape, up the Atbara or bacl
across the desert the way he had come
for both roads were absolutely open t.
him. At last I mentioned our fears t.

without fighting now he said; the!

THE BOARD OF GREEN CLOTH.


Somebody must look after the British
Constitution; the Board Of Green
Cloth is to be "cut down" The Board
of Green Cloth is the mysterious inst-
tuition which posted the bulletins dur
ing the kings Illness of a piece of red
baiZe, and in normal times, when there
are no bulletins to post on red cloth the
board sits round table covered Wits
green cloth and manages the queens
accounts. 1t has been called the count
ing-house of the queens household and
it has a kingdom of its own, extending
for two hundred yards in every dircc-
ton from buckingham palace. Within
this little kingdom-the Verge, as it is
known round the Green Tabe-clOth-
the Board has power to punish all who
break the peace, and it has limited
power, too, to save a queens servant
from arrest. No servant of her Ma
1esty can be arrested for debt without
a warrant signed at the green table.
The Board of Green Cloth is one of
the venerable props Of the British Con-
stitution, and in the course of its ca
| reer, dating from before Henry l., II
| has defied the onslaughts of many re-
| formers who would have swept it out
| of existence. Edmund Burke was one
| of them. In one Of his eloquent ora
i tions he protested against the invasion
| of feudal principles in modern affairs
and he would have abolished entirely
the Board of Works. the Board Of
Trade and the Great Wardrobe, tOgeth-
err with the office of the Treasurer of
the Chamber, the Cofferer of the
Household, the Lords of Police Of Scot
land, the Paynaster of the Pensions,
the Master of the HarrieTs and the
Master of the StaghoUnds. In a bill
proposing all these additions, Burke
showed how a saving of seventy thou
sand pounds sterling a year might be
effected, and his bill passed through
the Commons without much opposition.
eff my memory does not deceive me, -
said Burke, in protesting against the
spirit of feudalism which maintained
these various antiquities, "a person of
no slight consideration held the office
of patent hereditary cook to an Earl of
Warwick. The Earl of Warwick s
soups 1 fear, We're not the better for
the dignity of his kitchen, I think it
was an Earl of Gloucester who offica-
ted as steward of the household to the
Archbishops of Canterbury. The king
household, said Burke, had several
strong traces of this feurality, and this
was the origin of the ancient court
called the Green Cloth, but the rich
subjects of the kingdom had altered
their economy and turned the course OF
their expense from the maintenance OF
vast establishments within the walls tt
the employment of trades abroad. But
the royal household retained its great
stablishments-it has evaporated
from the gross concrete into an essence
