I We never had less reason than at this moment to fear aggression from our neighbours, says the "Westminster Gazette" we never had so many good reasons for thinking that the distribu- tion of our naval and military power. sith its main reliance on naval strength, .sound and wise Maurice Hewlett and the Fairies. Mr. Maurice Hewlett writes of airy experiences in a book fitly called 'Lore of Prosperine," which is soon to .t'8 published. He says he hopes that nobody will ask whether these fairy ex- periences are new, because he would have to say that he does not know. To ua they seem so, and that is the only reply he can make. Shades of the Prison House. The small boy had been presented Ivith a tricycle on his birthday. "I shall have to be very careful." he said. "Y ou will," returned his parents. "You see the policeman would catch Ee if I exceeded the speed limit." Shades of the prison-house began to around the growing boy. 'Far From the Public Ear." Mr. Horace Hutchinson, in the "Westminster Gazette," gives what he describes as "a neat stroke of the tongue," by a certain captain of the RrJyd and Ancient Club, in the course of the statutory speech at his election at the anual dinner. "My golf," said the new captain, "is played far from the public eye—I hope far from the! public ear." The Worst Lie. j roiii the many bad lies upon the links, St. Andrew guard me still I From the lie In the sand and the muddy lie, And the lie on the sloping hill; From the lie in whins and the stony lie, And the lie of the golfing bore; But of all bad lies I pray thee grace From the lie about the score. —"Golf Illustrated." Cel. Ssely's Speech. It is necessary from the beginning that Liberalism should express itself in clear and unequivocal accents, says the "Daily News and Leader." With onscriptiou in any disguise it will have to terms or parleying. Colonel Seely ioes not seem to understand this. dis speech at Birminghaon on Satur- iay is of a hesitating sort that must pot be heard from a Liberal War Aiinister. A Poser. A man who had done himself far too well (according to the new book of ^'Chestnuts, Hot and Cold") stumbled into a bus and sat down next a lady. After a few moments he remarked to her- "Did you shee me get in?" No answer. "-Did you see me get in?" she repned stiBiy. A pause. "And how d' you know 't was me?" in the Fiery Furnace. I A. rather goùd-and true-Lloyd Greorge story comes from a village Sun- iay school not many miles from Orms- iirk. The teacher had been reading to i class of children the story of the burn- ing hery furnace in which Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego were incarcer- ated, and at the close questioned the children on what they had heard. "Who was the fourth person they found in the ourning fiery furnace?" she asked. Up ivent a little hand, and on being told to give an answer, a five-year-old boy shouted with confidence. "Please, j mum, Lloyd George 1" ( II Trewen." I Writing an appreciation of the late Mr. Emlyn Evans, Mr. David Jenkins' says that his "Trewen" almost rivals "Aberystwyth" in popularity, inasmuch as it ha.s been sung by all denominations in Wales. This tune wa.s first published in "Gemau Mawl." He sent me two copies of it in MS., one in the major key and the other in the minor, giving me the option of selecting the one most suit- able to my purpose. As the hymn required a minor treat- ment, I chose the latter. iviost Hard-Worked Quotations. I The following is a selection take!, I from a competition in "'£ruth' 1. Her feet beneath her petticoat Like little mice, stole in and out. '2. Stone walls do not a prison make. Nor iron bars a cage. 3. Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that little long. 4. A thing of beauty is a joy for ever. 5. All men would be cowards if they dare. 6. Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink. 7. Stolen kisses are always sweeter. 'Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone. 9. Take her up tenderly, Lift her with care. 10. And haw can man die better Thau facing fearful odds For the ashes of his fathers And the temples of his gods?
