Benefit of Peerage.

Every one may not know what the term ''bcncfit of pccrage" im- plies. A peer can demand d private audience of the sovereign to repre- sent his views on matters of public welfare. For treason or felony he can demand to be tried by his peers. He cannot be outlawed in any civil action, nor can he be arrested un- less for an indictable offense, and he is exempt from serving on juries. He may sit with his hat on in courts of justice, and should he be liable to the last penalty of the law he can demand a silken cord instead of a hcmpen rope.

They are shrewd men. al ready and know everything.

 sAt tie d6ye Of tiie' 'Boef war of 1909. the London. Standard publish cd the news of the signing of the tfeaty of peace some time before the government itself knew of it-a circumstance that greatly puzzled the officials. In Campaigns of a War Correspondent" the author, the late Melton Prior, tells how the feat was accomplished.
 The conference between the Eng fish and the Boer leaders took place in farmhouse at the base of Ma juba hill. While it was going on a small army of correspondents and artists camped outside, anxiously waiting for the news that the war was over. They were lounging and lying about on the grass with their horses saddled and bridled, ready to race to the telegraph office in camp. Captain Cropper, General Sir Evelyn Woods aid-de-camp, and I were very good friends, and as he occasionally came out of the house to have chat, he kept me informed how matters were going inside. Another great friend of mine was Jack Cameron, correspondent of the Standard. I was anxious to do him good turn, and'i occurred to me that now was my chance, so I said, "Cropper, you might let me know when they really are signing or going to sign"
 Then I said to Cameron, "Look here, old chap, you get your horse ready and send it round the corner of that hill, but be careful that the other fellows don't suspect any thing, for as soon as General Wood and Kruger begin to sign the terms of peace Cropper is coming out to tell me, and when you see me raise my helmet, that is the signal for you to gallsop, into camp and send the news off,"
 Shortly afterward Croppcr came out and carclessly whispered to me, ''It's all over, Prior; they have sign cd" 1 simply had to give the pre- arranged signal to Cameron, and he was off like a shot at full gallop for the telegraph office.
 It must have been twenty min utes or half an hour later that the general came out on the vcranda, and calling the members of the press round him, said, "Gentlemen, l have pleasure in announcing to you that President Kruger and the other delegates representing the Boer nation and myself have signed the terms of peace, but l warn you that the wire to England is closed to all communication until my dis patch has gonc."
 1 could not help smiling to my self, for I knew we'll enough that Camcron's news was already on the way to England.

"A Brittany alone, of all the prov ihces of France, seems to have pre- served it's types of individuality. To Be Breton is by no means to be French. The old men to this day chatter in the Celtic tongue. The Breton mother when not at work in the fields sits in the door of her cottage plying the distaff and recit- ing the old legends and quaint folk songs to the white coifed baby be- side her. The Breton woman still wears the. costume of her mothers before her and is satisfied in it.
