BEGGAR PRINCE STILL BEGGING LORD KNUTSFORD For what may be the last time, the name of “Knutsford” is figuring at the bottom of a clever appeal for funds for the London Hospital which is now occupying a prominent position in the English papers. For Sydney Holland, Viscount Knutsford, the inimitable “Prince of Beggars,” who for more than thirty years has been compelling rich and poor to give and to keep giving, is going out of business. Every fifth year for thirty years he has made a special appeal on behalf of the
he has made a special appeal on behalf of the largest hospital of England which stands in the poorest quarter of London, and on this occasion he declares that, as he is now seventy-three, he can scarcely have the energy to carry on another appeal five years hence. Some time ago a large cheque was sent to the London Hospital made out to the order of the “Champion Beggar.” It was endorsed by Lord Knutsford and accepted by the bank without protest or even inquiry. This is a typical instance of the way in which he has made his name
of the way in which he has made his name known as an appealer for funds. The son of the Conservative statesman, Sir Henry Thurston Holland, who was created a peer on retiring from office in 1895, the present peer first turned to the law as a profession but he never practiced at the Bar very seriously. Once his interest became enlisted in the London Hospital, he devoted the whole of his great business ability and learning to furthering the fortunes of that institution. The old-fashioned appeals for subscriptions from the wealthy having failed to bring a sufficient income, he
the wealthy having failed to bring a sufficient income, he decided that plain begging was the best means. From the start he set himself to extracting copper and silver from the multitude. He it was who induced shopkeepers to place collecting boxes on their counters for the receipt of “unconsidered coppers,” and it was he also who invented the most successful collecting box ever placed before the citizens of London—the clock-faced box on which is inscribed: “It costs a penny a second to keep the London Hospital. Help to keep the London Hospital for one second.” There can be few
the London Hospital for one second.” There can be few men with more interests and accomplishments than Lord Knutsford. He is a fine shot, was once famous as an oarsman, plays the flute and is a remarkable conjurer. He applies his inventive gifts even to his clothes; he wears evening shirts of his own design which have an artificial breath in front and button up the back. Many are the stories told of his keenness after money for the London Hospital. On one occasion the press recorded the fact that a man had died and left much money to be
a man had died and left much money to be distributed at the discretion of his executor. A few hours afterwards a hospital secretary was on the executor’s doorstep preparing to ring the bell. The door opened. Out walked Lord Knutsford. “Good Heavens,” muttered the secretary, “I might have known it.” FUNERAL DIRECTORS. AMERICAN FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND EMBALMER Bernard I.

Since only a few isolated examples of this species had been recorded in North America during the previous century, something very much out of the ordinary must have happened to bring them there. What was it? It was established that they came from England, for one of them, shot at Bonavista, Newfoundland, on December 27, was found to have been “ringed” as a nestling at Ullswater, Cumberland, in May, 1866. Mr. H. F. Witherby declared
Ullswater, Cumberland, in May, 1866. Mr. H. F. Witherby declared in a British Birds that the lapwings made an involuntary flight across the Atlantic during the severe frost, in fact, were virtually blown overseas. The birds were suffering want in the North of England, where the frozen state of the ground made the obtaining of food difficult. After four days of continuous hard frost, they were led on the evening of December 19 to seek the comparative mildness of Central and Southern Ireland. They were, however, carried out of their course and away over the Atlantic by a furious Easterly
course and away over the Atlantic by a furious Easterly gale that was raging at the time. The British Meteorological Office charts for December 20 show a Westward stream of air averaging about fifty-five miles an hour in velocity at a height of 500 feet, by the whole distance from the Western seaboard of England to within one hundred miles of the coast of Newfoundland. This, together with the normal flying speed of the lapwings of forty-five miles an hour, would have sufficed to take the flock across the ocean to Newfoundland in twenty-four hours. Even if the birds had
to Newfoundland in twenty-four hours. Even if the birds had discovered when they were off the West coast of Ireland that the gale had carried them out of their course they would have been unable to return, as the velocity of the Easterly wind was considerably greater than their maximum rate of flight. A remarkable feature is that this long flight was made by birds which had been without adequate nourishment for some time. There was no point, moreover, at which they could have rested on the water. The birds were thin, tired and tame when they reached Newfoundland; some
were thin, tired and tame when they reached Newfoundland; some were so weak that they were easily caught. Others succumbed. An unbroken oceanic flight of twenty-four hours is regarded as a wonderful feat for a land-bird even in the most favorable conditions.

Mr. Alexander Peacock, once the associate of Andrew Carnegie in his steel interests, has died in New York at the age of eighty-seven. Mr. Peacock attained considerable wealth but his eccentricities led him to spend most of it. As a clerk in a store when he was a boy he attracted the attention of Mrs. Carnegie and when Mr. Carnegie learned that he and Mr. Peacock’s father had been fellow-townsmen in Scotland he employed the youth in the steel-mill offices. He became sales manager of the Carnegie

documents on social laws and conditions in every country in the World; they form a complete library which will be invaluable to research workers and to legislators. This fact is mentioned by Dr. René Sand, the Secretary-General of the division on International Social Work, as the outstanding achievement of the fortnight. The Congress brought together four thousand social workers, among them the outstanding leaders in the world. It was the first time that such a congress had been held. The papers have been translated into three languages. Two other outstanding points were achieved by the convention. One was the holding

The present King and Queen of Afghanistan have always been in favor of reform. Since their return from State visits to European countries the possibilities of reform are ever closer. Only
European countries the possibilities of reform are ever closer. Only a few days ago in Kabul a wonderful reception was held, and the Afghan Queen, for the first time in history, dined unveiled on Afghan territory with other than members of her own family. This was the Sheikhabad bank, at which Queen Surayya was unveiled although her retinue and staff were present. The spirit was further manifested in Tehran, when King Amanullah took the Queen and her sister shopping in a limousine into the busiest bazaar, a thing no sovereign had ever done. The King and Queen of Afghanistan are

Since the accession of Amanullah to the throne in 1919, the foxes, which make the smartest fur, that the Queen has scarves of presently, can be worn with the heads snuggled in the crook of the left elbow, and trail a very flat work of emancipating length of fluffy fur down the nation of the frock. Or the paws can be hooked together, letting the fur slip off one shoulder,
be hooked together, letting the fur slip off one shoulder, or both. They may be held in the lap while one sits sipping a cocktail or they may go festooned from the arm. In fact, the way in which the woman wears her fox when she does not need it is a test of smartness. The minute she does need it—there it is, round neck and shoulders, where it must lie worn with style, too. The navy-blue foxes seem suddenly to have become the smartest. They are glorified by seeing a Muslim Queen, proud instead of veiled, appear officially at
a Muslim Queen, proud instead of veiled, appear officially at the side of her husband. One of the reforms instituted by the Queen is that parents cannot, as heretofore, give their daughters in marriage without their consent. Polygamy, too, has been given a blow by the King’s example of a single wife. The costumes or the black costumes of today. Red foxes are good, too, especially with beige.

Seclusion often begins at eight or nine years of age, and it is very noticeable how much behind their men folk in intelligence the purdah women are.”
