catLaughterP

What was the origin of the phrase
''enough to make cat laugh?" The ques-
ton comes from a correspondent whose
curiosity on the point has been revived by
the cartoon in the Daily Chronicle DR..
Murray's dictionary notices only enough
to make a cat speak, which is explained
as signifying something extraordinary. es-
pecially something very good to drink.
"Old liquor able to make a cat speak" is
quoted from an early eighteenth-century
source, and Herewith Stephanos remark
to Caliban is compared: open your mouth;
here is that which will give language to
that only to see Miss Squeers' friend, Miss
Price, toss her head was enough to make
a Tom-cat talk French grammar" But

animal?

GLAD EDW ARD Is BACK
 HOME.
Kaiser Wilhelm ThiAkS His Uncle of England Has Work ed a Lot of Mischief For Germany During His Tour,
Especial Cable to Review.) By Walter Dunkirk.

BERLIN. May 4.--The Kaiser is more than pleased to kacz- that his royal uncle, Kink Edward, is back in England once more, though he could not very well have worked more mis- chief for Germany had he stayed aorcl:d even longer than he has al ready done.
 King Edwards wonderful success in enlisting the sympathies of the Lat in races on the side of Great Britian in the interest of the international peace has caused the Kaiser many sleepless nights and he is not the only one that feels that King Edwards rcent trip has been aa exceedingly expensive one to Germany.
 A German weekly newspaper with an immense circulation Die Welt am Montag" eulQgizes King Edwaru as the twentieth century Napoleon-with this difference, that he is working quietly behind the scenes, employing skillful diplomatic methods instead of brute force.
 By this means he has gained for himself an influence equal to that of Napoleon at his zenith, and places Great Britian in the same pTedomi- nant position which France occupies after Napoleons victories had shaken Europe.
 The newspaper proceeds: Much as in Germany's interests we deplore King Edwards success, we are forced to admire the statesmanlike qualities which have characterized his king ship." The article concludes with the hope that King Edwards era vii. be followed by an era of German pre-. dominance.
 Also in Vienna the concensus of opinion is that King Edward is follow. ing a deep laid plan and Is steadily undermining Germany's strength as a great European power.
 The "Newe Freir Presse," one of Nienna's most prominent papers, after speaking of King Edward as an eX. cellent business man and one of the strongest factors in European politics. says that in view of the meeting with King Victor Emanuel at Gaeta, fol lowing the meeting with King Alfonso at Cartagena, one must come to the conclusion that the diplomatic duel between Great Britian and Germany l. In the full offensive.
 The "Presse" asks, what is the meaning of this persistent ruthless en- deavor to shut up Germany in a net and adds that what British diplomacy is now doing can only have the eff feet of increasing srmaments by in.

 The Kalser's taste in drama does not please the more cultured among Berlin piaygoers. His favorite play wrights are Ferdinand Bonn. who has turned some of Conan Doyle's most liirid detective stories into sensational melodramas: and Major Lauff, who writes spiritless plays about the Kais- CTS ancestors
 Both these mediocre dramatists have been decorated by the Kaiser. and are graduating as {. courtiers. Major Lauff was commissioned by the Kaiser to write his historical plays in order that dead d-and-gone Ho- henzollerns, whom the average Der. liner never heard of. might be glori. fled His Majesty went so far as to support Bonn against the merited press criticisms which were made on his crude blood-and-thunder dramas.

King Edward has been very much
 annoyed at a statement made by a Labor Leader in the House of Com mons that "a certain gentleman at Court who resides in St. James Pal ace made money by pushing the sales of wines for firm in which he is interested in Court circles" The news was wired to the King during his Mediterranean tour, and His Majesty made some strong re- marks about the present state of the debates in the Commons. The at tack was particularly unjust as the King, and therefore the Court, con- sume wine, the orders for which are spread over number of famous firms.
 His Majesty never allows one firm of merchants to be fayoured. The gentlemen referred to. but not named, by the Labor Leader was the Hon. Sidney Greville, brother of Lord Warwick. Mir. Greyille Is the Queens popular private secretary. Being very poor he has gone on the board of several companies. one of which is wine company.
 It is supposed that this fact, which has been known to most people, in cluding the King, for a long time, has just come to the knowledge of the Labor Party who made 1t the ground for the attack which was resented by
 many strong Radicals.
