 Dizzy's unpublished noveF-iQizzy's unpublished novel will be read with eager interest by all who care to learn
 his view of his great rival. Gladstone, who is therein portrayed as Joseph
 Toplady Falconet. In denying him
 any sense of hunour the novelist does not exceed the privileges of poetic H- cense, for certainly his model was al- ways in grim, serious earnest. In de- clarfng, however, that he was never seen to smile Disraeli somewhat mall ieiouE1y exaggerates, for Gladstone's smile was not ipfrequent, and was
 among his many personal charms. But it must be rememberer that | t{lc lAOkC1 W<1S HA1ttC4l 91ICl tAC tHO statesmen had long been settled and unre1enting foes-and Dizzy was a good hater.
 Matching out golf baII-Let us hope that the crow which made off
 with the ball on the Royal West Nor folk links met with a less tragic fate
 than the bird =hero of a golf story told
 some years ago in a Madras paper. A match was being played between t T1--- loo nToe L., swooped. down and seized one of the
 balls. The player thus deprived ap- pealed for permission to drop another ball, but was told Lost ball, lost hole"
 Some weeks later he was out for a walk. and climbing a rocky eminence for the sake of the view, lit upon
 nest with 3 dead hawk and his golf ball therein. 1 sent the hawk to the curator of the Madras museum" he relates and asked for a post-mortem.

 Spats and the man-The case in
 which a Knightsbridge firm were heavily fined for charging what the Westminster magistrate thought too
 much for pair of spats raises an in teresting question of why men wear SpatS at all.
 The defendant's solicitors suggest ed that white spats were only worn by fastidious persons, but MT. Chap
 man, the magistrate, very properly
 disagreed: White or gray or l. faWn, s1s
 price. And whatever fastidious per sons may ,haHe in their minds when taking to spats, there is no shadow a of a doubt that thousands of poor but 5 respectable people wear them to "eke out" old trousers and boots, and for 2 no other reason whatever. Any sensible man whose wardrobe is rusty will agree with this. A new pair of spats, costing comparatively little, will make all the difference in the world in the migtnt=be shabby mah's appearance.
 s Rabbit versus rat-The tame rabbit { which is reported to have killed a rat in city office undoubtedly did so by
 kicking it's victim to death, writes a \ ] correspondent.
 E Very few people are aware of the 5 tremendous "punch' which both ralb- 4 bits and hares carry in their hind the animal world, and, weight for 5 | weight the hind legs of hares and q rabbits probably reduce the kick of 3 the battery mule to a comparatively S innocuouS tap. Both hares and rabbits { are desperate fighters among them d selves, and their powerful hind legs s are their only weapons.
 A very learned Iady-Eng1and has } lost by the death of Mrs. Margaret 4 Dunlop Gibson one of the most learn z ed authorities on Arabic and Syriac manuscripts.
 9 I remember, writes a correspondent, % Mrs. Gibson and her twin sister, Mrs. 2 Lewis, telling me how they were slung < up in a basket to enter remote z building in Sinai They had exciting Z experiences in discovering the first 2 leaf of the Hebrew Ecclesiasticus. Most generous te Presbyterian
 causes, they benefited Westminster s college, Cambridge, very handsomely. T Many learned societies conferred on
 the sisters distinguished degrees. Mrs. A Agnes Lewis will receive much sym pathy on her sisters death. A Effects of alcohol on the drinker- A and ways of getting rid of them, were narrated by Dr. Edward MelIanby be- a fore the Medical Society of London Z recently. Following are some of his Z points:
 8 If man who had taken intoxi- eating liquor shot at a target, he would think he had done better q than before. when he really had I done worse.
 If a man got drunk and kept run < ming about he would get sober sooner than by sleeping.
 By getting a man very drunk, and
 persuahng him to drink two pints J of meat extract he found very rapid recovery was made. A drink which would keep a man
 drunk for the longest time, and al
 the same time eliminate the worst . effects of getting drunk, was a mix
 ture of rum and milk.
 Ranging on the moon-The Ameri D can professor who suggests using the . moon as a target for the marvellous n long range rocket he has invented will have some trouble about decid- c ing in what direction to fire the rock D ct. If the average speed of th2 latter r equals that necessary to overcome ths
 earth's attraction it will cover the
 gulf between us and the moon 1T r about nine and a. half hours, in wlicE = time the moon will have moved some 2 200o6 mile along it's orbit. 3 Very simFlse astronomical mathe- 6 maties will enable the place of thu f moon accurately to be Exed at any in. e stsIt But that is only part of th< .
