A second class bridge is a series of isolated stones from one to another of which the visit or may jump. A third class bridge, much the con1monest variety, is invisi- ble, it's position being indicated by a couple of posts, one on each side of the river. They mean that you may safely wade across, as the water will probably-not go much above your chest.

The small body of Roman Catholic undergraduates at Oxford are rejoicing because the Hertford scholarship (the principal junior classical prize of the year) has fallen twice in succession to one of their number. It has just been awarded to MT. Wilfrid Greene, a scholar of Christ Church, and last year it was gained by MT. Cyril Martindale, young Jesuit undergraduate of Pope's Hall, who has already won almost every classical distinction open to him.

THE DESTROYER.

A dwarfish thing of steel and fire;
My iron nerves obey
The bidding of my crafty sire,
Who drew me out of clay,
And sent me forth, on paths untIod,s
To STAY his puny clan;
A slave of hell, a scourge of God;
For 1 was made by Man.
When foul fog curtains droop and meet
Athwart an oily sea:
My rhythmic pulse begins to beat;
'Tis hunting time for me.
A breathing swell is hardly seen
To stir the emerald deep.
AS through that ocean jungle green
1, velvet-footed, creep.
And loi my prey, a palace reared
Above an arsenal,
By lightning's viewless finger steered,
Comes on, majestical.
The mists before her bows dispart;
And meath that Traitors Gate
The royal vessel, high of heart,
Sweeps queenlike to her fate
Too confident of strength to heed
The menacing faint sound,
As from their leash, like bloodhounds
freed,
The snub torpedoes bound;
She does not note them quartering wide,
Nor guess what lip is this
That presses on her stately side
It's biting Judas kiss.
Till with roar that rights the stars.
Her cracking timbers rend,
And lurid smoke and flaming spars
In one red storm ascend;
Whose booming thunder browns the
cries
OF myriad souls in pain;
Where tossed on turbid waters lies
My quarry. torn in twain

dresses himself to that particular branch
OF his subject with great care and full

"Gentlemen. and should conclude with,

the anxious seeker after knowledge has
set before HIM for his guidance such

Much attention is given to business
forms, presumably on account of the in
creasiug importance and extent of COM
mercial relations between Japan and
England. Among the gems of business
formulas that are presented this one
shines
