FROM INDIA BY BICYCLE. I Lieutenant G. M. Routh, an officer in the Royal Artillery h,ae arrived at Dover from Osiend, having made a remarkable bicycle ride from India, across Central Asia and Europe, on his bicycle. He carried' his travelling out- fit in two large receptacles. Among other articles he carried a tent, with a light pole, strapped to his machine, and a large, specially-constructed, leather water-bottle in front of the handlebars. The bicycle and •luggage weighed one and a half hundredweight, and the cyclometer indicated 6,500 miles.

"Do you ride a bicycle ?" asked the first youth. "Well, I don'it know what I would be exactly justified in claiming that," replied the other, "but now and then I have a wrestling platch with one of them."

Nervous troubles rapidly become acute through neglect; therefore, the advice of Mr. Alfred Llewellyn Tidswell, of the Theatre"Royal orchestra, Leigh, Lanes., is worthy of attention. te An attack of depression of spirits," he said, which seized me, culminated in serious nerve trouble. I felt always very listless, ner- vous, and disinclined to do anything. I had to give up outdoor exercise, because I became so quickly fatigued. I lost pleasure in my public engagements. When I awoke in the mornings I felt dead tired, and I had a nau- seous taste in my mouth. I could not take food without the greatest discomfort. I suf- fered continually from dizzy head- aches and pains [ across my chest, with palpitation. I was also troubled acutely with bilious- ness and nervous- ness. Indeed, my health gave way completely. I felt absolutely run down,' and worn out. Life had lost almost all inte- rest for me. At last, when I felt collapse was inevitable, I I -!klt I Mr. A. L. Tidswell, Cured of Nerve Trouble by Dr. Williams' Pink Piiis.

TREASURES FOR THE NATION. 1 A valuable collection of armour and works of art, said to be worth E280,000, has been be- queathed to the British nation by the late Mr. Stibbert, of Florence, who also devised a sum of £ 32,000 to cover the upkeep. Mr. Stibbert was the owner of a large and richly furnished villa at Florence, and among the contents was a fine collection of horse and knight's armour, which he left for the benefit 0 and instruction of his fellow-countrymen. Ac. cording to Italian law, art treasures are not allowed to be taken out of the country, and it is possible that the treasures may have to be left permanently in the villa, unless the Italian Government waive or modify their rights. It is suggested that the collection should be open to the public in Florence, undter the charge of a British curator.

A judgment debtor at the Southwark County Court was described as a "gentleman who attends raoes." "That is no proof of means," the judge said). "A gentleman who attends races generally loses money rather than makes it." The rifle range near Kidderminster, which is used for the annual competition of the Worces- tershire Rifle Associations and also by the Volunteers, has been declared unsafe, and shooting will not take place there again until alterations have been made- IF THERE'S TROUBLE IN THE KITCHEN, THERE'S WORRY IN THE HOUSE.

A similar case has not been before the Bench for three years. Rabies are extinct in England; and only by imported dogs can the disease 'be spread. Benjamin Isaacs, charged with stealing cycles at Hastings, appeared to the Secretary of State to have all the chargesi against him dealt with at those sessions. Four times convicted of steal- ing motors and ordinary cycles, there were two charges now pending and four others to be brought. The Recorder gave him IS months' imprisonment. A man who gave the name of John Delarey, and who had described himself ae a son of the Boer general, was oommitt.ed for trial at Mountmellick, Queens County, on a charge of false pretences. He was identified, however, aa a gunner who had been discharged from the Royal Field Artillery as "not likely to become an efficient soldier." The laziness of Fred Portch-an able-bodied pauper, ordered 14 days' hard labour at Maryle- bone for refusing to work-is hard to beat. When, at his own request, he was given a pair of trousers with two buttons off, and was sup- plied' with needle and thread to sew the buttons on, foe refused them, saying he preferred to wait until he. could get pair of trousers with all the lbuttms, on.

I TWO JOCKEYS KILLED. I Two more fatal accidents on a steeplechase course occurred on Monday. Mr. H. 1-1. Fitt was so badly injured by the falling of Doochary in the Selling Hurdle Race at Wye that he died three hours afterwards. His mount rolled over him, breaking three of his ribs, and causing concussion of the brain. It is stated that he was to be married next month. I. Mr. J. Hands was riding Blue Beard in the Westminster Handicap Hurdle Race at South- well, when the horse fell at the last hurdle, and Mr. Hands sustained concussion of the brain, a broken jaw, and injuries to his hip. l He was taken to the Nottingham Hospital, where he died in the evening.

WOMEN ON STRIKE. I A strike of 700 women employed at the York. street flax spinning mill at Belfast compelled hundreds of other employees to desist, and the work of the mill practically came to a stand- still. The operatives asked for an advance of wages to the amount of one shilling a week, the pre- sent wage being 9s. 6d. As the employers have not refused, th-a demand, the strike is regarded as premature, and the women were unable to persuade oithers to join them. The employers stated that there would be no difficulty in ob- taining enough new hands to fill the strikers' places.

I CANADA AND THE KING. I The Toronto Provincial Legislature was pro- rogued on Monday. The Speech from the Throne referred to the Federal Parliament's invitation to the King and Queen to visit Canada, which, it was declared, would be enthusiastically seconded by the whole people. The speech also mentioned the visit of Prince Arthur of Connaught, which, it said, had been received with every evidence of loyalty and devotion to the Crown on the part of the people of Ontario, adding that individually the Prince had made s very favourable impression on all who came intc contact with him.

FOR THE FAR EAST. I Sir John Jordan, late British Minister to Korea, will, it is stated, be appointed to suc- ceed Sir Ernest Satow, British Minister to China, at the conclusion of the latter's term of office. Sir John Newell Jordan, who only returned from the Far East a few weeks ago, is 54 years of age, and has been in the diplo- matic service for more than 30 years. He became a Student-Interpreter in China in 1876, and filled various posts in the country as COD- SIR J. N. JORDAN. sul and a member of the staff of the Pekin Legation until 1896, when he was appointed Consul-General to Korea. In 1898 he became Charge d'Affaires at Seoul, and was promoted to be Minister in 1901. Sir John Jordan, who was made a K.C.M.G. in 1904, is a eon of Mr. John Jordan, of Balloo, Bangor, and married in 1885 Annie, daughter of Dr. Cromie, J.P., of Clough, Co. Down, Ireland.

A DEAD DIPLOMAT. After being ill for a very long time, Lord Currie, the distinguished diplomat, died at his seat at Hanley, Bkckwater, Hants, in his 72nd year. A eon of Mr. Raikes Currie, at one time M.P. for Northampton, Philip Henry Wode- house Currie, was born on Odtober 13, 1834, and at the age of 20 entered the Foreign Office, where he spent the greater part of his career, a,nd was probably the most brilliant clerk ever known, winning a great reputation as a coder and decoder of cypher messages. He accom- panied Lord Salisbury to Constantinople and LORD CURRIE. I Berlin, and was, for two years his secretary at the Foreign Office, being Assistant Under-Secre- tary until, in 1893, ha went to Constantinople as Ambassador. In 1898 he transferred to Rome, where he remained until he was forced to retire by ill-health four years ago He married, in 1894, Mrs. Singleton, who, under the name of Violet Fane, was widely known as an authoress and poet. She died last year, at which time Lord Currie was also lying danger- ously ill.

RUSSIAN DUMA OPENED. The Tsar in person on Thursday morning opened the meeting of the Duma at the Wintei Palace in St. Petersburg. Extreme precau- tions were taken to secure his Majesty's safety, and, though there were very few people in thE streets, there was an immense assemblage ol troops. On entering the hall in the Palace where the Deputies were assembled the Tsar addressee them in a speech, in which he said Divine Pro. vidence had laid on him the care of the welfare of the Fatherland, and had moved him to sum. mon representatives elected by his people t( co-operate in the work of framing laws. He welcomed the newly-elected Assembly, and ex- pressed his belief that the ardent wishes of the dear native land would inspire and unite them He, for his part, would unswervingly upkold the institutions he had granted. The Duma must realise that for the welfare of the State not only liberty, but also order was necessary. His Majesty expressed a fervent hope that he might see his people happy, be able to be queath to his son a firmly-established, well. ordered, and enlightened State, and that thai day might prove the rejuvenation of Russia's moral outlook and the reincarnation of her besi powers. The Duma was then formally opened bj Senator Frisch, Secretary of State, and Pro- fessor Mouromtseff, of Moscow, was elected president. The sitting was adjourned till Saturday. King Edward, according to the "Petit Parisien," has sent a long telegram to the Czar after the opening of the Duma, in which he con- gratulated him upon his happy initiative, and upon his wise remarks from the Throne To this telegram the Czar sent a speedy reply. Diplomatists are inclined to look upon the inci- dent as something more than a mere interchange of courtesies. It is generally believed that the friendly feelings awakened by the attitude of Russia, both at Algeciras and in the dispute with Turkey, will pave the way for official action having an important bearing on the peace of the world.

TORPEDO ADRIFT. A strange submarine object was seen floating into Porfc Glasgow harbour, and boats being put off, it was discovered to be a fully equipped torpedo, sixteen feet long, with a propeller at one end. Consideraible alarm was felt as to whether the torpedo was loaded, and it was carefully towed into mid-harbour, where it was berthed. Some days ago a notice appeared in Port Glasgow Custom House offering a reward for the recovery of a missing torpedo.

Elizabeth Morgan, a woman of eighty, was knoaked down by a motor-car in Cardiff, and died of shock a few hours later. When the accident occurred the old woman, who was slightly deaf, was crossing the street. Arriving from Cardiff at New York a cargo steamship reports passing several huge icebergs in the Atlantic, indicating the early break-up of the Northern floes. Two children, aged thirteen and twelve, have been sentenced to a year's imprisonment at Breslau, Germa/ny, for playfully throwing stones beneath an electric tramcax, causing it to leave the line.

It was reported to the last meeting of the Haverfordwest Board of Guardians that a pauper had died leaving Xloo. The chairman said that many paupers were too cunnuig for the reliev- ing- officers, and that at the time of the Libera- tor crash scores of paupers in the union were heavily involved. Mr. Thomas Henry Chance, part proprietor of the "Gloucester Journal and Citizen," has died at his residence in London, aged 72. He was president of the Newspaper Society in 1885, and in 1892 unsuccessfully contested the Tottenham Division in the Liberal interest.

I ROYAL THANKSGIVING. < A special thanksgiving service for the 8f1,f:e return of the Prince and Princess of Wales from India was held on Sunday morning at Westminster Abbey. The King and nearly all the members of the Royal Family in residence in London attended, but there was no pomp or ceremony, the service being characterised by its extreme simplicity and solemnity. The only indication of regal authority was the pre- sence in the Abbey of 250 officers, bluejackets, and marines of the battleship Renown, in which the Prince and Princess of Wales made their voyage, and of their escort the Terrible. The King, who drove to the Abbey in a closed carriage, sat immediately on the right of the Dean's stall. The Prince and Princess of Wales were on his Majesty's right; the children of their Royal Highnesses sat next to them; and the other members of the Royal Family were in a pew in front of the stalls occupied by the King and the Prince and Princess. A modified form of morning .service was used. The opening psalm was that beginning "Give the King Thy judgments. 0 God; and Thy righteousness unto the King's son," and the first hymn was "Eternal Father, strong to save." At the conclusion of the prayer for the Royal Family, a special collect of thanksgiving was recited, while in the prayer for all sorts and conditions of men, reference was made to the "Prince and Princess of Wales, who desire now to offer their special thanksgiving for their safe return from India." The hymns "Jesu, lover of my Boul" and "Now thank we all our God" were sung, and the Dean of Westminster preached, taking liis text from St. Luke, chapter 22, verse 27: — "For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that eerveth? Is not he that sitteth at meat? But I am among you as he that serveth." After the hymn "Now thank we all our God" had been sung, a collection was taken on behalf of naval and military charities, and realised £ 139. The service concluded with the singing if "God save the King." I THE QUEEN IN SPAIN. I The Queen landed at Malaga on Saturday evening. Accompanied by her suite, her Majesty visited the town, and returned on board the yacht at seven o'clock. Queen Alexandra went on Sunday on a visit to Granada, returning to Malaga in the evening. The Royal yacht goes on to Gibraltar, where it ie believed her Majesty will make a short stay.

MAIDSTONE PETITION. Some amusing episodes have occurred during the hearing of the Maidstone Election petition, I an, before Mr. Justices Grantham and Lawrence. Sir Francis Evans in petitioning against the return of Viscount Castlereagh, eldest son of the Marquis of Londonderry, as Unionist mem- ber, thereby no fewer than 97 allegations of bribery, illegal voting, etc. The judges were surprised when an octogenarian gardener, named John Tyman proceeded to take off his grey coat and appeared in his. shirt sleeves. "I am not taking off my coat to fight," he explained, but because I want to put on the coat I was wearing on polling-day." Where- upon he thrust the grey garment on one side, put on a black coat, and proceeded wiith his narrative. His story was that Councillor Lyle asked him how he was going to vote. "I s,aid I don't know, he continued. Hosaid 'Vote for Lord Castlereagh,' I said I think not.' He took his right hand out of his .trousers poc- ket and showed me half a sovereign. My eye- sight is very good. I said, No, I shall not take it.' He tri.ed to force it into this coat pocket, but I would not fcake it, as I didn't want to go up there (pointing to the adjaocent prison) at my age." It turned out in cross-examination that Tyman did not have a vote at ail. "You'd tetter go back to your garden and dtwocto your energies in digging it up," Mr. Justice Grantham ad- vised him, and the old man left the Court talk- ing loudly andi gesticulating wildly. A man named Russell, who attended on an order issued by the judges, gave incoherent answers, and excused himself by saying, I have been so much bothered by both sides that I haven't known whether I was on my head or my heels." Then he declared that he knew nothing about his written statement that Mr. Tomlin, a pawnbroker, said he would do the best he could for me if I would vote for Lord Castle- reagh. Having evaded various questions, Russell bent forward on the ledge of the witness- box, and in a confidential tone., -,coss-examined Mr. Roskin, K.C. Now," he began, supposing you were out of work and anybody came and gave you a shil- ling, it would be a bit of help to you, wouldn't it?" It certainly would," replied Mr. Roskill. And suppose anybody came forward and did a little kindness for you, you wouldn't forget it, would you now? I think not." Therefore, if anybody does an act of kind- ness for me, I like to give them back kindness. Do you agree with that, Mr. Rosktll?" Cer- tainly," Mr. Roskill answered, and then he asked Russell, May I ask if you have a feeling of gratitude to Mr. Tomlin?' Yes," Russell admitted. "And that's why you won't tell us mOl'ie?" "That's right," said' Russell, cheerily. "I am not (this with some warmth) going to bring any- body into this. No! I would rather suffer my- self. "He vi dlefying us!" Mr. exclaimed, whereupon Mr. Justice Grantham told Russell to tell the truth, "whether it hurts anybody or not." But the man's answers continued; to be so unsatisfactory that counsel asked him to leave the box. A witness named Webb caused some sensa- tion by swearing that he had placed his signa- ture to a document without knowing its con- tents. The document, which was read, stated that Webb had seen joints of meat to which reference had been made, delivered from a cart. Webb now said, "I neither saw the meat nor the cart." Sir Robert Finlay addressed their lordships on behalf of the respondent, and commented upon th character of the evidence, which he alleged had characterised a purely speculative under- taking on the part of the petitioner. Viscount Castlereagh and Mr. Edward Hills, chairman of the local Conservative party, were called, and some sharp passages of arms took place between the witnesses, the Bench, and members of the Bar.

OUR GERMAN VISITORS. I The German municipal representatives whc are now visiting London assembled on Monday morning at De Keyser's Royal Hotel and were welcomed by Lord Lyvedoii on behalf of the British Committee for the Study of Foreign Municipal Institutions. They afterwards drove to the City, visited the Guildhall, and were en- I tertained at luncheon by the Master and War- dens of the Mercers' Company. In the afternoon the visitors drove in the West- end. and then returned to the Royal Hotel, where, in the evening, they were entertained at a banquet over which Lord Avebury presided. Mr. Haldane, Secretary for War, speaking in German, proposed the. toast of The German Emperor and Empress, and in the course of nis remarks maintained that there was no occasion for hostile rivalry between the two countries. The Ober-Biirgermeister of Berlin responded. Among other speakers were Sir John Gorst, Dr. von Meister, and the chief Burgomasters of Dresden and Cologne. During the proceedings it was intimated that the King had telegrapiied a cordial acknowledgment of a message ad- dressed to his Majesty on behalf of the visitors.

A Dunmow tradesman obliterated his name from the front Of his shop, stating that it had S +i1,er? long and replaced it with the following quotation from the epitaph on the tombstone of Lord Herbert: "He +W cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over w,bich he must pass himself, for -ever marl boa need to be forgiven.
