leave delivered an address recounting
his matchless services to India.
In his address Kitchener ironically
adopted Curzon's lofty language in
describing what he himself had done
for the Indian army.
The joke was appreciated in In
dia, but when the Calcutta papers
containing reports Of the speech were
received In London. an inspired
friend of Curzon wrote to the Times
a solemn letter accusing Kitchener
Of plagiarism,
kitchener's humor was shown on q
previous occasion when the Ameer OF
Afghanfstan visited India. Orders
were issued by the military headquar-
tiers staff at Simla that on all occa-
sions the Ameer must be greeted by
military bands with the national an.
them of AfghaAistan. The question
Immediately arose as to what really
was the national anthem of Afghanis-
tan. No one seemed to know any
thing about it, and the question was
ultimately referred to Lord Kitchener
for his decision. He disposed of it in
Enthusiastically summary fashion.
What does it matter two straws,"
he said. PLAY bar or two of some
thing slow and pompous and let it go
at that"

sit still; nature will not let 1t, but

tainly larger than some of the cath

Minister. 1t possesses a remarkable
curiosity In the shape of revolving
reading desk. but. apart from this. the
interior is not particularly interesting,
though it would have been had the
church wardens of the past been as
appreciative of art as Of business. We
hear Of a splendid altar tomb being
demolished to make room for door.

being sent to London and cast into
weights for the use Of the town."
Certainly, we cannot blame Crom.
well and his troops for all the de-
struction worked in famous churches.
1t was in st. Nicholas church that
Lord Nelson, accompanied by Sir Will
lain and Lady Hamilton. returned
thanks to God. in November, 1900, for
the successes of the British fleet.

England could scarce contain the
