' You've heard In Sunlight At no place in the world is a greater gathering of sharpshooters ever I'oimtl than at Bisley, writes Frederic Walker in The London Mail. On the pine-clad Surrey commons there are now assembled the picked marksmen ol' the empire. The presence oI the men from over- seas represents a year' 3 patient shooting, for numbers attending are limited and the competition for se- | when lection is keen. This year the great brigade of sharpshooters is again comprehensive in its collectivism. The sharp drawl of the sons of *he pine from North- west Canada contrasts oddly with the soft tongue of the New Zealand^ er; the rifleman from the Punjab rubs shoulders with the West Indian, while Uganda and the Cape jostle with Paris and Aberdeen.

Play distinguishes the higher from the lower animals, and it signifies possibility of education. Fishes do not play at all; the lower mammals can hardly be taught to play, and birds are entirely devoid of i he in- stinct. But the kitten and the l.imb are essentially playing animals. The human youn({. however, are the true players, and in reality it is play ' that develops them into manhood. \ "Children," says a celebrated doc- . tor, "are born little amorphous bun- i dies of possibilities, and are played j into shape." j A teacher, questioning little boys { about the graduation in the scale of intelligence, asked, "What comes ne.xt to man?"

In the statistical office is a small army of postofllce volunteers, sorters in the main, who tackle mountains of score tickets which are rainetl upon them by mounted or- derlies galloping from the firing points. Fifteen hundred tickets for a single big competition tajce some sorting, and there are over fifty events evei'y day; but, under the deft fingers of the postal volunteers, the CLERGY OF ENGLAND. The Poverty of Some of Them Is Appalling. The appaling poverty of clergymen in poor parishes in England is one of the saddest phases of the religious life of to-d;iy. This poverty i.s not the least of the causes which have led to the accusation of "paganism" being hurled against the country. ilr. C.
