For instance, the British have their own, and the French and Germans theirs. The stamps used by each of these post- offices arc, of course, their own, there not beiny a universal system for all countries. Right on the city gate in Tangier, that of an did civilisa- tion, there is a letter-box. Before the natives were used to them they were considered as won- derful machines into which a missive once being put was mysteriously conveyed to its destination, -and they were generally feared. To-day the smallest boy uses them. The style, of course varies with the power that put; it up. On a.

» — MLBCHIEVOTS AXD USEFUL. It is a very usual thing to see a weaeel nailed to a barn door in the country, and the game- keeper's "'butcher's shop," which one 60 often iiappene across whilst strolling over an estate where game is strictly preserved, almost in- variably contains, among ita assortment of jays, hawks, crows, owls, and stoats, the attenuated carcase of a weasel or two. Certainly the game- keeper has more reason for his animosity than the farmer, for it cannot be denied that the weasel occasionally destroys not only hares and T&bbita but newly-hatched pheasants and part- ridges, and that he is fond of eggs. Indeed, the weasel, which is an exceedingly expert tree- climber and can worm its way along the slightest branch, will ascend treee for the pur- pose of robbing a nest of its eggs, so that the presence of the game-bird's eggs, upon the ground must be a great temptation for weasel nature to resist, although it is a fact that it is often accused of the sins of its cousin the stoat --a far greater sinner in these re-specte- But the farmer goes dead against his own best inte- rests when ho treats rhe weasel as vermin, for, 60 far from being in that clasa himself, the wea- eel is the mOt-t inveterate of all the enemies of mice and Tat. Woe betide the rat upon 'whose track this sleuth-hound of the hedge-bottom gets, for he will never give up the pursuit until his fangs have met in the brain of his quarry.
♦■■ INNS. ;
♦ INNS. Doth terms "Inn and U IIosool" were for- merly employed as synonymous with a house used as a lodging-place, and were not confined to drinking taverns. For example, the inns" or halls which were so numerous at Oxford and.' Cambridge before the erection of colleges were merely lodging-houses for the scholars, though kept under strict regulation by the college authorities. Similarly the Inns of Court in London were originally provided for the lodging of the law students there. It was nothing un- usual in old times for the country houses of the nobility, during the absence of the owners, to be used as inns for the accommodation of travellers. At inns or guest-houecs of this description it was customary to hang out as .signs the arms of the owner, and hence the origin of so many heraldic eigns given to public-houses.
» ■ ■ j CHARACTER FROM CIGARS.
» CHARACTER FROM CIGARS. A Frenchman suggests the possibility of tie- j tecting character from cigars. The man who smokes, he says, is easily recognised. Hie lips show it. without his epeaking. He who fixes his cigar deeply in the mouth is of a nature resolute, sceptical, and abrupt; one who bites off the end of his cigar is careless, thoughtless, or listlees. When the cutter is used. to nip off the end. the smoker may be considered as a man of caution. The user of the amber holder may be considered a delicate person. The man who smolci his cigar to the end is a faithful friend, a constant husband, and of a persevering nature. If one is in the habit of throwing away the cigar when only half smoked he may be considered fickle, blase, and a trifler. Further, characteristics can be deduced from the habit of allowing the cigar to die out. Such a person suffers from want of memory. He may have aptitude for mathe- matics, but he is not selfish.
» 'n MORGANATIC MARRIAGES.
» n MORGANATIC MARRIAGES. A morganatic marriage is a marriage between a man of noble birth and a woman of inferior ,rank or station, by the terms of which neither the woman nor her children have any right to the titles, arms, or dignity of the husband nor anv right to succeed to his estate except as pro- vided by contract. These restrictions affect only the rank and property rights of the parties con- cerned and do not affect the validity of the mar- riage. which in general is regularly celebrated, and the children of such marriage are legiti- mate. In cases of Royal morganatic marriages, however, they are not recognised as legal to the extent of precluding a liuquent marriage by the Royal personage. I
THE ORIGIX OF VEILS.
THE ORIGIX OF VEILS. Turkish women do not wear veils because of their religion, as many suppose. It is merely the survival of an old custom. When the Turks still lived in Tartary. before the time of Mahomet, it was-the habit of the men to steal such women for wives as attracted them. This led to so much fighting that about the second century the Turks decided that, henceforth the women should go veiled and should not. meet, men, hut should dwell in harems as f,oon as they arrived at tromanhood — which waa at about elgven years PI age, ,0, -_c_-
A CrRiors BOARD.
A CrRiors BOARD. There is a Board of Trade, though, like the famous Board of Green Cloth, the members presumably never meet each ollier-iii. an official capacity. As a matter of fact, if the President of the Board of Trade called all his ex-officio colleagues into counsel there would be found asse-mbled a.t Whitehall CJardens in solemn con- clave inch diverse personages as the Lord Chan- cellor, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, the Secretaries of State for Home and Foreign Affairs, for the Colonies, for War, and for India, the Archbishop of Can- terbury, the Speaker of the British House of Commons, and—if, in accord with Irish Nation- alist aspirations, a Parliament were sitting on College Green—the Speaker of the Irish Hou.-e of Commons. There would be, too, eight or ten other Privy Councillors of less important Tank, entitled to a voice in the management of com- mercial affairs.
. YELLOW PERIL.
YELLOW PERIL. China has a population of 400,000,000, and if she wished, by the method of compulsory ser- vice, could raise an army of 20.000,000 or 30,000,000. But this will only bo possible when a new breed of Chinamen is possible, and not before. Numbers, when not inspired by patriot- ism and bravery and governed by discipline, have long stood in history as innocuous. The best assurance of Western civilisation against Chinese attack lies in the character of the Chinese people. They are essentially the anti- thesis of the Japanese. To the latter military honour and the service of the State are more than life, while among the Chinese military bravery and patriotism are but shadows. Fur- thermore, a nation whose administration is cor- rupt and whose finances are so involved that it has to borrow of the Western world to build a. railway or two is little likely to levy, clothe, and feed, much less to arm and discipline into effec- tiveness. an army whose mere subsistence would cost hundreds of millions yearly. There have been many examples of a military people turn- ing to a commercial one. But it is difficult to recall a single case in history in which a nation given over to commercial and pacific character- istics has developed the military traits and em- barked upon conquest.
♦ BORRNEMORTH IX HISTORY.
♦ BORRNEMORTH IX HISTORY. The supposition that Bournemouth is a mcdern name is quite erroneous, for the name, with a slight variation in the spelling, occurs in the Calendar of Domestic State Papers." dated July 8th, 1574, wherein Bornemouthc is described as one of the dangerous landing- places in the event of invasion, and as a place very easy for the ennemye to Jande there." In the Harleian MS8. (1575) we find mention made of Burnemout-he." Frequent references art, also to be found in early works, such as Cam- cicn's Britannia, and on numerous sixteenth- century maps.
THE HANDY BOX.
THE HANDY BOX. Grandmother, do you know where I can find a little bit of wire?" asked Marjorie. running in from the riiecl, where an amateur circus was in preparation. Grandmother went to a little closet in the room and disappeared a moment, coming out presently with the wire. < Oh. yes, and Fred wanted 1110 to ask you if you had a large safety-pin?" Marjorie looked a little wistful. a.- if she did not quite like to bother grandmother. There was another trip made to the closet, and the safety-pin was in Marjorio's hand. You are a pretty, nice grandma," she said, over her shoulder, as she r?.n out. Not very long after. Marjorie came into the kitchen again. This time she .stood beside the sink, where grandmother was ( washing dishes, ( Fred wants to know- began grand- mother, laughing. Yes'm." said Marjorie. blushing. If I can't find him a pieco of strong string? finished grandmother. Oh. no—it's a little braes tack!" declared Marjorie, soberly. She was a patient, loving grandmother, andi she went to the little closet again. Marjorie could hardly believe her eyes when she saw the tacks, for there were three! He said "site began slowly, and stopped. You ought to tell him to come and f.3.Y it himself," and grandmother laughed, "but we will forgive him this time. Was it Thank you,' he said?" "He feels 'Thank you' awfully, I'm sure," raid Marjorie, politely, but what he said was that if it wasn't too much bother — well, we could use a kind of hook thing." Her grandmother produced a Jong jrqn ho ok, and Marjorie looked at her woncleringly. Are you a fairy?" she asked, timidly. "You muet have a wand, and just—make things! Grandmother laughed. "Come here," fche said, and she opened the little dark closet, and from the shelf took a long wooden box. This she. brought to the table, and when she opened it Marjorie gave a little cry of delight. It. seemed to her that there was a little of everything in it. There were bit of string, pins, coloured paper, bobbins, balJ., pieces of felt, and every sort of useful thing generally thrown away. When I knew my grandchildren were coming hero tc spend the summer." she said, I began on this box. and whenever I find anything aptray that would naturally be thrown out I just put it in." Do you want iiio to help save, too? asked Marjorie, who thought the story should have a moral. "You must start a handy- box of your own when you go back, and keep it in the nursery you don't know how many times a day you will be able to help the others out. A little darning yarn, an odd thimble, a bit of soft linen, and all the things that clutter and would 00 thrown away go to fill up .handy-box. You cart be the good fairy of the nursery." It is just wonderful! said Marjorie. "If I had a little—just a little wooden Lox, I would begin to-day, and when I go home I can have a l.-i>r one." Grandmother smiled, and going into her closet, brought out a smaller wooden box, just the right size. From that moment Marjorie was a collector, a.nd her usefulness began. COUSIN KATE.

---THE PARVENUS' INITIATION.
THE PARVENUS' INITIATION. When Mr. H. G, Wells makes social analyses lie is always acute and interesting. Here is a passage from "Tono Bungay" (Macmillan) about people who have suddenly realised they have made money With an immense astonished zest they begin shopping; begin a .systematic adaptation to a new life crowded and brilliant with things shopped, with jewels, maids, butier,?, coachmen, electric broughams, hired town and country houses. They plunge into it as one plungee into a career; as a class, they talk, think, and dream possessions. Their literature, their Pteft?. turns all on that: immense illustrated weeklies of un- surpassed magnificence guide them in domestic architecture, in the art o £ ow*ning_ a garden, in the achievement of the eumptuou,? in motor-cars. in an elaborate sporting equipment, in the pur- chase and control of their estates, in travel and stupendous hotels. Once they begin to move they go far and fast. Acquisition Dccomes the substance of their lives. They find a world organ- ised to gratify that parsion. In a brief year or so they arc connoisseurs. They join in the plunder of the eighteenth century, buy Tare old books, fine old pictures, good old furniture. A AUSTRALIANS DETERIORATING?
RE AUSTRALIANS DETERIORATING?
Mr. John Foster Eraser, in his Australia: The Making of a Nation" (Cassell). does not hesitate to criticise the people of Australia. I He wonders whether the native-born Austra- lian is not too content with his lot, whether he does not lack ambition The wtriii climate. the of life, are already removing that doggedness which was the hall-mark of the brave men who first adventured in Australia. Among native- I born Australians there is a growing dislike to- I wards bush life. There ii fa hunger for the towns j and the pleasures which town life brings. We have that at home. But, of people of British I origin, the Australians arc the most pleasure- loving I have come across. They are honest pleasures: boating, picnicking, cricket, football, theatre-going. But what effect is this having on | tho development of the nation? There one pauses. It"would be silly to criticise a people because they are contented. Content, however, is not pauses. it-would be silly to criticise a people because they are contented. Content, however, is not sufficient, especially when there is a mighty con- tinent lying a.-leep and needing to be awakened into agricultural well-doing. There is little or no striving after immense fortunes, which is the. Ul keynote of American e-uecess. At the risk ot overstating the case, I may say there is a snigu- I lar absence of commercial ambition in Australia. "Oh. that is good enough," is a phrase 1 heard 100 often from the newer wlio have inherited the good things proved for them. The British youth does not win rnucn priiiSLs by s reason of his industry or Jits desire for Knowing I and equipping himv. lf for t> battle ot industrial and commercial cstrife.

♦— MANILA HEMP.
♦ — MANILA HEMP. Manila hemp is obtained from the leaf-sheaths of a non-edible banana found in the Philippines, says the Magazine of Commerce, in an article on i; ibres and Fibre-yielding Plants. The best, localities for its cultivation are the sides of hills of volcanic origin, whece good natural drainage exists. When the flower-bud appears the whole plant is cut down ciose to the ground; the leaf- sheaths are stripped off, sliced horizontally into layers about kin. thick, and these in turn split into strips about 2in. wide. While still fresh, tho strips arc drawn under the edge of a blunt knife- like instrument held against the surface of a board, the process freeing the fibre from the pulp of the leaf-tissue, and leaving it clean and white. The finest grades of Manila hemp are of a light buff colour, lustrous, and very strong; inferior qualities are coarser and dulkr in colour, and lacking in strength. The fibre is unrivalled for rope-making, especially for cables, hawsers, and other marine cordage.

AMERICAN HUMOUR.
AMERICAN HUMOUR. A HEAD FOR BUSINESS. Too many Americans of the twentieth cen- ,ury," said Jacob A. Riis, in an address in New York, have a wrong idea of business. Now business is. really, honest service—honest ser- vice—nothing but that. But too many men look m business as a certain seaside shopkeeper did. ) A friend of mine visited this man's shop to buy a flannel bathing-suit. The bathing-suits were all a little too large for him. They're marked unshrinkable,' my friend .said, thoughtfully. This one here might do if it would ehrink. But-, I'll ask father about it,' said tho young attendant. And then behind the partition* my friend overheard this dialogue: Father, a gent wants to know if our unshrinkable bath- ing-suits won't shrink a little any way.' Is the suit too large for him! 'Yes, father.' Then, of course, it will shrink. Why don't you try and have a head for business, Willie? "-nTashing- ton Star.

--¡ HOT - WEATHER SUGGESTIONS.
HOT WEATHER SUGGESTIONS. If by some mischance you find-yourself spend- ing the night at some spot where there are mos- (luitoes, a comparatively easy way to render them harmless is to seize them by the hind leg-a and tie their bills together with a piece of darn- ing cotton. If your hotel room looks over a frog-pond and the bleating of the bullfrogs keeps you from sleeping at night, you can, of course, put a dyna- mite bomb in the pond and blow it out of exist- ence; but the more humane method is to stuff your ears with cotton, close your windows, and bleep with your head buried under the mattress. The wearing of fur-lined overcoats at summer I resorts smack", of ostentation, and will be serupu- lousiy avoided by persons who have any desire to be dc rigueur.

But Chelsea were equally determined not to let valuable points slip, and they man- aged to put in a fine performance, and win thG' match. M. Woosnam, the Cambridge skipper, and probably the finest amateur half-back in the country, played for Chelsea, and R. H. Cal- lender appeared in the County forward line. The other teams still in the danger-zone are all famous clubs—the two Sheffields and Man- chester City. Then, too, Tottenham Hotspur will have to go very carefully if they are to set the minds of their supporters entirely at rest, for their display against Newcar-tle in London was not convincing. True, it was Mellor, the goal-keeper, who saved the "Cnited by his divert- ing of a well-taken penalty shot, but the 'Spurs ought not to have given up a point as they did. Blackburn Rovers keep up their form, and it was a good performance to beat West Brom- wich Albion by two goals to love. The Other Leagues. The Woolwich Arsenal-Grinisby match, fixed for Highbury, was called off owing to the bad state of the ground, but other results in the Second Division put- Bradford in a dangerous position in relation to the London club. How- ever, it rather disposed of the chances of Hull, another side highly placed in the table, for Bradford nnd Hull were the sides to meet. Tho defeat of Notts County was a surprise, for the Wanderers beat them at Wolverhampton by no fewer than four goals to one. This scarcely damages tht'ir position at the head of the ladder, though. As Clapton Orient and Leeds both lost their games, they may now give up hope of getting the much-coveted promotion this season. Notts Forest did splendidly to beat Birmingham by a big margin, and as Glossop 10, t there may foon be an interchange of posi- tions at the foot of the ladder. Whether any- thing better can be accomplished by the Forest A I is doubtful, but they are evidently out to mako the best of things. In Southern League fray, six clubs failed to fcore a single goal, while no visiting eleven .secured both point*. There were four drawn games. Swindon gave Southend a severe beating, and won in the Railway Town by five goals to love. Crystal Palace, however, four drawn games. Swindon gave Southend a severe beating, and won in the Railwa Town by five goals to love. Crystal Palace, however, created a ^urprire everywhere but in Reading by losing to the biseuitnicn by two goals to one. This has given Reading a place in the table very close indeed to the Sydenham team, and Southern League supporters may be treated to 8om, excitement at this end of the table yet- before the season is ended. The two clubs with the best chance of promotion to the First Divi- sion of the Southern League appear to be Croy- don and Luton, but Brentford have a large number of games in hand. and have just an out- side chance of squeezing in.' C Semi-Finals. The gaiiit, to decide which two clubs shall appear in the English Cup Final at the Crystal Palacc take place next Saturday in London and Manchester. The match at the Tottenham Hot- spar enclosure is between Aston Villa. and Liverpool, and the crowd is likely to be much greater than the accommodation, despite the raised prices of admission. That Liverpool have a chance of beating the Villa only the most optimistic supporters of that club believe, for the Birmingham boys are playing just now as well as ever a side bearing their historic colours has done in the past, while Liverpool has often been represented by a more scientific team. Still, form counts for so little in Cup-ties that nobodv will stay away on the ground that the

DENBIGH v BANGOR. On Saturday last a goodiy narobsr of spectators assembled to witness this match on the G?afg read ground, when a stirring battle for was expected. The Btngorians travelled down by motor char-a-banc, and the kick*of fwas r.Ss 3.45.

match might prove one-sided. The contest on the Manchester United enclo-sure is between Burnley and Sheffield Crated. It. certainly pro- mises a closer and more exciting struggle than the other one, and those who pin their con- fidence in Burnley may have a rude shock in store for them. English professional Soccer is being threatened this season, for the latest defeat is in the annual match between the Eng- lish and Scottish Leagues. The game took place on Saturday at Burnley, and after the English- men were two goals up at half-time, they failed to hold their opponents when playing against the wind, and lost eventually by three goals to two. The Triple Crown. By their exciting win over Scotland at Inver- I t-Itli on Saturday by a single point, England secure the Rugby Triple Crown and the Cal- cutta Cup. The result was made up of two goals 'I and two tries for England, to one goal, one dropped goal, and two tries for Scotland. As was pointed out in this column last week, Scotland can always be relied upon to rise to the occa- ion of a Calcutta. Cup match, and their form on Saturday was a revelation to thoee who had seen them in all their previous International engagements thi- season. The struggle forward was evenly divided: while Scotland held an ad- vantage in the loose, England were the masters in the scrummaging. The Scottish three-quar- ters played brilliantly on occasions, but were •— av^r-dangerous combination that our own backs proven? u 0„e p0;nt that we were able to snatch the victory. duel between Will and Lowe ended in favour of the Englishman, though Will did more than ono very brilliant thing. Still, his defence was not quite up to Lowe's.
