I I MARCH OF THE GUARDS. 1 I f LONDON'S TRIBUTE TO fiEROIC REGIMENTS London gave a great welcome to the Guards on Saturday, when six regiments of the Household troops marched through the street with bands and colours. Few among the men who were icheeretl with such enthusiasm on Saturday were sur- vivort3 of the Guards who went out ili 1U14. The original brigade was practically wiped out several time*, tiit new men took their piace, and in suitie of the uiost terrible lignt- ing that ever soldiers were calledQ^K<u to face they proved themselves lu^oes. Luring ttie war the Guards hive lost over 14,000 officers and men kihed, hile"" neariy 30,000 were wounded, lu the aaAks, uu Satuiday were many men who .ha.e been discharged or demobilised, and ht, came from all parts of the country to march with the old regiment The route wa6 trum Buckingham Palace, via the Strand, to the Mansion House, and then through Hoiburn and Piccadjlly Circus to Hyde Park Corner. A great crowd assembled at the Palace, solid masses of people filling the adjacent roads. As early as nine ociock In Lte morning sightseers began to take up their positions near the gates, and thocve WHO came later and stood on the fringes of t.,e crowd were only able to see the mounted ofticors and the heads of the marching men. The King and (jueen and the liovai party appeared on a dais in the forecourt 01 t .e Paiace. A minute later the 1st Liie Guards' band sounded, and was greeted with, thun- derous cheers and waving of hags, haL, <dId handkerchiefs. As they marched p",t the Palace they saluted their Majesties, as did all the other regiments in turn. They then wheeled to the right along the Mall. The footways in the Alill were densely crowded, and Trafalgar-square was packed. In the City area there was more standing room for spectators. At various points (u the roule there were special stands for wounded soldiers. At the Mansion House the Lord Mayor and some of the Aldermen and Councillors viewed the procession, which took an hour and forty minutes to pass a giveu point. The Prince of Wales had a great recep- tion. He rode Ix-side the Karl of Cavan. Each regiment carried its colours, and the foot Guards bore also the special flag pre- sented to them by the jjoopie of Maubeuge a. a tribute for recapturing the town last autumn. T1 Grenadiers fixed bayonets in march- ling though the City of London, they being one of tbQ few regirpeiite having that privilege.

I B'JTCHER HEAVILY FINED, I I A Wandsworth butcher, named Olivet Bradbury, charged at the South-Western Police-court with selling more meat to a customer than the cou pons justified, was fined £ 210 lOs., including costs. Prosecuting counsel said the meat was tiold to Mrs. Flimmick, of Be.sboroti-ii-roarl, Roehampton, whose hoatsehold consisted of herselt and ten servants The weekly sllpply of meat to which they were entitled I amounted to 18s. 4d. worth, hut the average value of meat supplied per week for six weeks was over six guineas. The eook-housekeeper to Mrs. Flimmick said the accused also supplied her with meat lo send to her friend*.

I SIX SETS OF TWINS. I The King was recently informed that a Mrs. Dowinton, a resident in Guernsey, had given birth to six sets of twins in eleven years and had ten other children. Eighteen of this remarkable family are living, and the case was recommended for special notice. His Majesty, seeing that the record was su remarkable and the case of the family a deserving one, sent a donation. The royal act has been wrongly described as the granting of the King's bounty. The bounty is claimable only In the case of triplets.

SUICIDE WITH TWO GUNS. I Two double-barrelled shot-guns were used by Mr. Henry Wright when he took hie life at Mark's Tey. He was manager to a of seed growers. At the inquest on Saturday it wns stated that Mr. Wright had suffered from in- fluenza, and had worried allout lnisiuesti matters. His accounts wt-re said to be in perfect order. In an affectionate farewell letter to hit wife he wrote, "God bless you and keep you. I am mad" The verdict was "Suicide during temjiorary insanity.

I RAILWAY OFFICIAL'S THEFTS. I A station inspector named Penny was caught in the act of stealing milk from a churn at Gospel Oak Station, and at Mary- loboue was sentenced to three months in the second division. Penny had been in the service of the L. and N.W. Railway for forty-one years. According to the evidence of the railway police, the offender was "practically a stationmaster," and it was stated that rob- beries of this kind were committed chiefly by old servants

I A BOGUS V.C. For wearing boguf. mHilary decorations and tampering with nu Army .discharge certficate, John Mandslcy. steward in the Olympic, was sentenced to six months' im- prisonment at Southampton. Mandslcy had in his possession forged documents certifying that lie was a Regi- mental sergeant-major, a V C., a D.C.M. with two bars, a Moris Star .man. and that "when all his ofifcers were killed in the Mons retreat be took charge of a cavalry brigade and saved 50.000 British tro(,I,s."

I WHY GERMANY WAS BEATEN. General Sir William Robertson, at a war services dinner to the Royal Automobile Club members, said the reason why i,fic Her- mans so suddenly collapsed was perfectly obvious and perfectly plain. They collapsed because the German Army was lioalcu — beaten by our soldiers and our wonderful airmen, and they would have IM/I beaten by our Fleet if they had given it a chance of a fight. He. saw no reason for óaYJug that the end was unexpected.

The Building Trades Industrial Council proiest that "the delay in building opera- tions is due to gross incompetence in hand- ling the supply of materials." The Government can hold out no hope of an early reduction of the increased railway fare, Mr. Bridgeman announced in the House of Commons. As Lambeth gravediggers are unable to cope with the "funerals at the- cemetery, ( sewermon are assisting in the work of dig- ging the graves. A return of empty houses in Lambeth shows 427 empty houses nr tenements and 234 empty places too dilapidated for occu- pation.

I CLUB WINDOW. Since the days of George III., we have not had a monarch whose tastes in food and drink were more simple than tho-se of the' present King. -.He is fond of the plainest dishes. He likes vegetables and fruit, but has never bpen a large meat eater. He prefers toast to bread. light wines to spirits, and cares nothing for rich foods. No young man of birth in the Kingdom lives more simply than the Prince of Wales. When he was at Osborne he had but a shilling a week pocket money, and at Dart- mouth two shillings. Post offices were first established in 1464. Printed musical notes were first used in 1473. Modern iieedli-6 first came into use in 1545. The first knives were used in Eng- land in 1559. The first wheeled carriages were used in France in 1559 The first news- paper was published in England in 1588. Newspaper advertising began in 1652. The first balloon ascent was made in 1783. Glass windows were first introduced into England in the eighth century. Kerosene was first used for lighting purposes in 1826. The first sulphur match was made in 1829. The first iron steamship was built in 1830 The first steel pen was made in 1830. Ships were first "copper-bottomed" in 1837. General Birdwood has fought in many campaigns, and has had many narrow es- capes, the most miraculous, perhaps, being in Gallipoli, when a bullet removed J/s hat and ploughed a parting in his haj* In spite of his inclusion in the casualty list, he remained at his post Another very narrow shave was an occasion when his horse was shot from under him at Pretoria. The Bishop of Chichester, who is resigning his see at the age of seventy-eight, v among the first of the prelates to recognise the uses of the motor-car in the fulfilment of his diocesan duties (savs the "Chronicle"). > Last year he covered 18,000 miles in the episcopal motor-car, a record which gives point to a little incident that happened at Chichester in the summer. An American lady, admiring the palace gardens, ex- claimed: "How nice to be the Bishop, sur- rounded by all these lovely flowers I" An old gardener working close by sighed regret- fully. "Lor' bless you, mum," he said, "he don't never 'ave any time to look at 'em." # The late Mr. Pierpont Morgan once told a friend, when discussing wealth: "Any young man who actually devotes his life to the doing of those things that folks gener- »Mv don't think worth doing will die rich." In his youugvt days Mr. Rockefeller's clothes were a trial to his friends, and a story has been told of how one of them once made an effort to get the multi- millionaire to mend his ways in this respect. He pointed out to Mr. Rockefeller that it was not the right thing for a man in his position to be so shabby. "I am not shabby," mildly objected the budding millionaire. "Yes, you are," retorted his friend. "Think of your father, and what a neatly dressed man he always was!" At this Mr. Rockefeller smiled. "Why," said he, "this is a suit of my father's I've got l ■: now!" Whin Mr. Carnegie was concerned in en- gaging office boys he had a test which was unique. He used to give them paper par- cels to unwrap. If they cut the strings and threw them into the wastebasket, he kept the boys. If they untied the knots and rolled up the string, he didn't. "The day of saving string is over," he would say. The champagne ration to which M.P.s are now restricted when dining at the ^ionse would have been deemed a generous one by their mid- Victorian predecessors (says the "Express"). Sir Algernon West, who was born in 1832, relates that$n his early days "two bottles of champagpe was the allow- ance for a dinner party. Phese were handed round after the second course and drunk in homoeopathic doses out of small tubes of glass, which contained little but froth. Lord Alvauley was the first who had the courage to protest against this meagre allowance. exclaiming one evening, You might as well expect us to drink our wine out of thermo- meters. .„ # # Mr. Lansing, the American Secretary of State, is one of the foremost students ot the Bible in America. For years he has con- tinued this study begun as a boy, and his working Bible is many times its original size, due to the interleaved commentaries, notes, and drawings. < Mr. Lloyd George, as most people know. is not a giant in stature. Early in his career he went to a town in South Wales to" make a speech. In introducing him to the audience the chairman said that he was greatly surprised in the orator, as he had always eupppsed that Mr. George was a big man physically. When the speaker got np he said that he was very sorry that he had disappointed the chairman. "You in South Wales," he said, "seem to measure great- ness different from us in North Wales. You measure a man from his chin down, while we measure him from his chin up." An old book of sermons recently found in a public library had this verse written on the flyleaf:- If there should be another flood, For refuge hither fly; Though all the world should be submerged, This book would still be dry. » A group of men offered Mr. Charles M. Schwab sixty millions of dollars for his holdings in the Bethlehem Steel Works. He went home and tola his wife of the offer. "It's a big offer," he said. "Half of what I have is yours. What shall we do? If we sell, your share, invested at 5 per cent. will bring you an income of over a hundred thousand dollars a month for the rest of your life." Yes," replied Mrs. Schwab, "but what would I do with the money and what would you do without your work?" When President Wilson was a young lawver in North Carolina he affected "whiskers." On one occasion, when plead- ing a case before a jury. he received very somnolent attention from all but the sheriff, who watched him closely. At the close of his argument Mr. Wilson moved over to the sheriff, hoping for a few kind words. "Woodie," said the sheriff," "do you know that one of your side whiskers is shorter than the other?" That night the ambitious lawyer shaved clean, and has done so ever since. < # « Mr. Taft, whose weight is considerable, is alleged to have bought two seats for him- self for a football match. When he arrived at the grand stand he found that the sfeats were on opposite sides of the gangway. # » The longest twelve-word telegram ever written is this. It won a prize in a com- petition and was accepted by a telegraph operator as a legitimate twelve-word tele- gram: "Administrator General's counter- revolutionary intercommunications uncir- ev instantiated.

I A MAN S ENEMIES ( To say that a man has not an enemy in the world is often a. declaration of honour, but sometimes it is anything but a compli- ment. To live an upright life, true to one's convictions, is a matter of extreme diffi- culty unless one gains a few foes in so living. There are too many people who do not like the high ideals which the upright man puts into practice. They use their influence, by ridicule, by scorn, and by their own example, to lower the standard set by their neighbour. But exalted pur- poses are meant to be lived up to. faith- fully. unfalteringly, even at the risk of being subjected to ridicule, or, of making enemies No higher tribute is there than this: "Ile has no enemies in the world—ex- cept those offended by hit; devotion to I.is high ideals."

There are minute duties lying under the feet, so to speak, which must be microscopically examined, there are more detached obligations that can be dis- cerned only by lifting up the eyes and lengthening their focus, while now and then the vision wil be revealed ol the vast future, stretching off like a hniillesd sea, calling to the goul to launch its bark for the shores of the Far Away. Sydney Smith advised (is, if we would IK; happy and normal in feeling, to take "short views and long views"—to confront the homely. wayside duty, and occasionally to glimpse the eternal vistas, but to skip the anxious 41itys in between.

MANNERS. I With virtue, capacity, and good conduct, one still can be insupportable. The manners, which are neglected as small things, are often those which decide people for or against you. A slight attention to them would have prevented their ill-judgments.

= > FOOD FOR GERMANY. BRITAIN FEEDS EUROPE. Mr. C. A. McCurdy, M.P., Parliamentary Seerctary to the Food Ministry, speaking at the National Liberal Club, naid we had abundant supplies of the prime necessitiea- of life, and there was a distinct tendency towards reduction of prices in every com- modity. This country was taking its full share in the necessary work of sending food,' not only to our Allies, but to the enem y countries. We were arranging to seiid 100,000 tons of potatoes to Rotterdam to be conveyed down the Rhine. We were shipping 30,000' tons of bacon and lard and 14,000 tons of condensed milk to Germany, as well as breadstuffs, preserved meat. and other com- modities to Rumania, Poland, and Serbia. For the cereal year 1917-18 nearly two and a quarter million tons of cereals was carried by British shipping to France, and nearly one and a half million tons to Italy. Since October, 11)18, to the end of February British ships brought 1,300,000 tons of cereals to French ports and a million tons; to Italy. In addition we had I)een largely helping to feed. Switzerland, Greece, Por- tugal, and Belgium.

— Z! FOOD PRICES FALLING. N The fall in food prices since February I is 10 per cent., according to the "Labour Gazette. 11 Since the beginning of February there have been reductions in the prices of meat margarine, and (gg, with the result that on March 3 the average level of retail food prices (calculated on the basis of the pre- war standard of consumption) had fallen t« 120 per cent. above that of July, 1914, 3h compared with 130 per cent. on February 1. Since the latter date there has been a fall of U to 15 per cent., according to cut, in the price of beef and mutton, due to a reduction of 2d. per lb. in the official maximum in Great Britain; a decline, averaging ld. per lb., or 12 per cent.. in the price of margarine (supplies of which were released from control early this month); and a fall in the price of eigs of about 8Jd. a dozen. or 13 per cent. The only other appreciable movements were a slight faU in the price of Ban and a P??bt rise in the price of pota- ts. -Fcr,,all- items ordinarilv entering into working-class family expenditure before the war the average increase in retail prices on March 3 was about 115 per cent., compared with 120 per cent. a month earlier.

I A STRATEGIC POSITION, It is not generally known that strategic reasons determined the location of the Houses of Parliament, where they: stand to, day on the banks of the Thames. When the old Houses were burned down early in the nineteenth century, and the task of re- building was faced, there was a proposition to establish them on or near the site of St. James's Palace. The Duke of Wellington resolutely put down his foot on the pro- posal. With a vast and growing popular tion such as yours in London." he said, "you must never make it possible that you can be surrounded. You must build your Houses of Parliament upon the river, so that the means. of ingress and egress are safe, and that the populace cannot exact their de- mands by sitting down around you."

I A BROKENv NECK. The question whether a man can live with., a broken neck was raised before Judge Row- lauds at Mcrthvr in a compensation case. Dr. R. S. Rice stated that the applicant, John Griffiths, a collier boy, received in an, accident a broken neck, vertebra? being" fractured in close proximity to the spinaL coid. This resulted in paralysis, froiti, which in twelve months he practically re- covered. ]>r. R. G. Williams, Cardiff, disagreed. He ascribed the paralysis to effusion of- blood. The only man he knew to live with a broken neck was the Town Clerk of Mer- thyr, Mr. T. Anewryn Rees, who received that injury while playing football. Counsel for the colliery company said 3 kw system for hanging murderers wodo I have to he invented if a man could live with a dislocated neck. Judge. Rowlands held that the paralysis was due to effusion of blood, and he awarded the lad a small amount from. October last till March.,
