LONDON, March 25.-Lord Farqu-
har is now convalescent, after an
operation for abscess in his back.
Though he has recovered from the in
juries to his eyes, they have been left
in a very weak condition. As master of
the household, Lord Farquhar has con-
slant duties to fulfill The doctors are
very desirous that he should have a
most complete rest. 1t is possible,
therefore, that Lord Farquhar may feel
it necessary to tender his resignation
of this high position which he has filled
so ably since the kings accession. 1t
was unusual for a peer to be master or
the household. In Queen Victoria'S S
reign, Sir John Cowell occupied the
post for over quarter of century,
and he was succeeded by Lord Edward
Pelham Clinton.
Earl Cadogan's youngest son, Alex
ander George Cadogan, is the president
of the Oxford University Dramatic So
ciety, whose production of the Clouds
of Aristophanes this week is arousing
SO much interest. Mr.. Cadogan came
up from Eton to Balliol two years ago.
He is clever, like all the members of
his family, and is, among other things.
and admirable French scholar.
An important debutante who will
appear this season is Donna Orietta
Doria, the only daughter of Prince and
Princess Doria, and a niece of the duke
of Newcastle. She is a dark, handsome
girl of IS, and has already been seen
at a splendid ball given at the Palazzo
Doria in Rome. Her mother was Lady
Emily Pelham Clinton, and is tall,
IL ,N1T,,
velous, and she entertains brilliantly
during the winter season in Rome.
Prince and Princess Doria are leading
members of the black society. Prince
Doria is one of the wealthiest of Ro
man mobiles and a golfer with an in
ternational reputation.
The~earls of Pembroke has a splendid
Specimen of a golden eagle which was
shot recently in the Crowley woods.
The bird had been in the neighborhood
for some time past and had worked
havoc among the lambs, SO its deStruc-
ton became necessary. 1t measured
seven feet from tip to tip of the wings
and is a magnificent speciment, and the
first of its kind shot in England. About
fifteen years ago Lord Pembroke Sc
cured two fine ospreys while fishing in
the river which runs past Wilton house.
Remarkable details of the expert
ences of Mr.. Evan Roberts, the young
Welslls= reVivalist during his recent
seven days silence, have been supplied
by Mr.. Roberts himself. One evening
he started for service at Brighton
ferry when a voice said, Don't CO.
Il felt some pressure on my SOUL" said
the young preacher. Il went back into
the room and sat on a chair Twice
again the voice spoke to me: Don't go
tonight it said once, and then, You
are to be silent for seven days."
From that evening until the end of
the seven days the revivalist spoke to
no. one. During the silence Mr.. Rob-
erts made many entries in a small
memorandum book, and some of the
extracts are of great interest. The first
item in the book was an instruction to
Miss Annie Davies, one of the revival
lists singing assistants: There is no
person except yourself to see me for
the peXt seven days. Not even my
mother and father. 1 am not ill.,
Another entry refers to divine
voice which spoke to him. 'It was not
an impression he wrote, but a voice"
On the third day Mr.SRoberts report
ed that about 80 "the sound of the
name of Jesus! Jesus uttered in my
jump for joy"
Il am going to be what God wants
me to be- was an entry of the fourth
day, while on the fifth day the revival
ist wrote in Welsh: II have been very
near to God this afternoon-so near as
to make me sweat"
In the-evening of the same day, after
having recorded a desire to go to Pal
eStine, he wrote: 81 have a mind to
Shout three cheers for IeS1IS
You remember l said 1 would like to
go to Palestine, but 1 should have no
money to co. he wrote on the sixth
day. well, lady has written to me
today offering to give me ego towards
one of the delightful trips to Pales-
tine. Dielch."
The king and queen are taking a
great deal of interest at the present
time in the improvement of the gar
dens at Buckingham palace and Wind
Sor. Lord Reddesdale. who is perhaps
the finest landscape gardener in Brit
ain, has frequently been consulted by
their majesties. AT Buckingham palace
there has been too much oYergroWth.
Trees are being cut down and Topped,
and the gardens, when finished, will
