More Like a Watersprout.

There is much interest for English
people at the moment-though, per.
haps, no particular comfort-in the
announcement that the rainfall OF a
village among the hills OF Assam dur
ing the ten weeks from May / to July
9 this year was $50 inches. The viii
lage is Cherrapunji, the rainiest spot
in Asia, and presumably in the world.
It's annual rainfall is something over
$50 inches-say, fifteen times as much
as London. Cherrapunji stands on a
plateau, overlooking the plain OF Syl-
het, and it is 4.455 feet above sea-
level.-London Tit-Bits.

Fears Her Position Is Gone.

The recent energy shown by the
minister of finance in hunting out and
cutting down sinecures of all kinds
has reused perturbation in the mind
of humble, but little known, French
functionary. This is the official lady's-
maid attached to the wife of the
prime minister. She is lodged, clothed
and fed at the expense OF the repub-
lie, and, in addition, receives 100
francs month salary. But since the
fall of the Combes cabinet in 1905
she has had nothing to do, for all the
succeeding premiers have either been
widowers, bachelors or divorced.
