A Relic of Maiuha.

A remarkable story is current with
regard to Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton's
spectacles. 1t appears that the gal
liant officer. then subaltern, lost a
nair of spectacles in the battle of
Maiuba HILL They were apparently
nicked up by Boer whom they suited
and who kept them for 20 years. In
the early part of the present year the
snectacles were found on the body of a
dead Boer. There could be no doubt
as to their identity, for the case had
Cen. Hamilton's name on it, and they
were in due course returned to their
original owuer.-BradfordO Observer.

RELIC HUNTERS RUDE SHOCK.
Thought He Had u Nickel Gen. Grant
| Paid for Carfare, But Found
| eN He Hadn't.

Germantown man who has pas
sion for collecting odd and curious
things received rude shock the other
day. In his collection is five-cent
piece that he exhibits as having passed
almost directly from Gen. Grant to
himself. He was showing this to sew
eral callers and told it's history as fol-
lows:
..This coin came into my possession
through the medium of a friend who
was riding in Market street car one
day. Seated opposite to him was a
short, stocky man, with military cut
to his beard. 1t was Gen. Grant, who
was visiting the city at the time. My
friend handed the conductor a dime
and Grant handed him a nickel. In
making the change the conductor sim
ply took the generals nickel and
handedit over to my friend who, know
ing nv passion for such things, imme-
diately hunted me up and gave it to me.
It has an additional interest owing to
the fact that the incident occurred
during Gen. Grants last visit to Phil
adelphia. It has been in my posses
sion ever since"
The guests thought this all very in
teresting. with the exception of one
who has the reputation of being an ex-
ceedingly disagreeable person.
"Your story" remarked this disturb
or. .lacks one thing. Grant died in
1885. and you may remember that at
that time the street-car fare in Phila-
delphia was six CENTS" says the Phil
adelphia Record.
There was painful pause. broken
at last by the collector. by jove!' he
gasped. "By jove! My friend has de-
ceiyed mel"

English envelope flaps make an in
teresting collection and are much
sought now. The quaint names OF cas-
ties and abbeys, halls and manor
houses, seem to transport us to
baronial parks and ancient terraces.
The stationery of an English country
seat will bear not only the address in
full, but also the names of the nearest
railway stations and table of dis
tances. This is convenience for
guests, whose note of invitation con-
veys also ample schedule information.

AMER1CAN1ZING ENGLAND.
Different Ways in Which YAnkeel
Are Making Themselves known
In London.

It is not only in the real Of the
shopkeeper that Americans have be-
come popular, says the earl of Mayo
Americanization of England. They
have been taken up with equal OF
even greater enthusiasm by the high
est ranks of society. There is no
doubt that their popularity has been
due in great measure to the influence
of those American women who have
married into the ranks of the clever,
titled or wealthy, who form the most
important elements of British high
society. The grace, the brightness
and the adaptability of these women
have made them immensely popular,
and the British, having found them
fair types of their countrywomen
and countrymen, have extended an
equally cordial welcome to the lat
ter. At every house party held in
England last summer, at every Lon
don dinner and on every yachting ex-
petition Americans were much in evil
dence.
Another effect of American exam
pie is to be found in the growing
popularity tf hotel and restaurant
life abroad. Until the American Gin
vasion" it was almost an unheard-of
thing for family to take dinner in
a public restaurant when their own
house was available for the purpose;
and as for entertaining friends in
such a place, that was looked upon as
altogether too outre to be attempt
ed Now, however, all this is
changed, and it is not unusual for a
London host and hostess to call upon
the resources of fashionable hotel
or restaurant in giving entertain.
ments beyond the limits Of ordinary
house accommodation. A significant
sign of the trend in this direction
is to be found in the rapid multiple
cation of fine hotels that is going on
in London at the present time.
These hotels themselves, by the way,
are becoming rapidly Americanized.
American methods of organization
and management, American dishes
and American drinks are coming
more and more into vogue; and it is
easy enough to find half dozen no.
tells in London which are in all es-
sential respects like those of New
York.
