kino's Gift a Foruery.

One of the four pictures presented
by the Prince of Wales to the pro
posed National Gallery for Ireland is
reported to be a forgery.
The statement is made on the au.
thority of the Belfast correspondent
of Lloyd's Weekly News Of London
1t will be remembered that his
Royal Highness offered the pictures
during his recent visit to Ireland, and
it is one of the landscapes, said to be
by Corot, which is now declared to be
a forgery.
Indignation has been aroused in
Glasgow by recent swindles in co.,
nection with the sale of pictures.
Many spurious works, bearing the in.
ltials or signatures Of popular dead
painters, have been sold at high
prices.
Complaint is also made Of the "fak-
Ing" of various articles, and 1t is
rumored that at least one Burns relic,
which was sold at a fancy price, was
spurious.

What a Diploma is.

Referring to the recent banquet
given Mr.. Choate by the bench Il the
Middle Temple, the London Pail Mall
Gazette makes a pretty play with the
word "diplomatist," interpreting it Is
one with q double duty, and q double
responsibility'-to his W country
and the country that receives him.
The evolution of "diplomatlst' from
the Greek verb for TO double" is
very curious. Diploma" a doubling,
wax specialized as a folded paper,
and particularly, In Roman times, an
official passport or license. Thus
diplomatic science" down to the
end Of the eighteenth century, meant
the science of manuscripts and docu-
ments, which explains a modern
writer's strange remark that there
is not a shadow Of diplomatic doubt
thrown over the integrity of the

airy assigns the translation to the
modern meaning to Leibnitz's GO

rain Some of the streets in the city

so thickly coated that it almost gives
things the appearance of winter.

had it now, the cotton yield would be
cut very short, and that the late
