Mrs. Strong in the Century. The native dictionary is interesting in the light it casts upon the Samo- an character. I find "an impossibility, such as an old man getting a" young wife." Another word means "to heg deliviously for fishhooks." "'Ulwel- come' is given, "such as a visiting party that is accompanied by neither handsome man nor a pretty maid." The definition of "widow" or "wi dower" is synonymous with detached shellfish. There are also definitions that show considerable thought and irony. *'Mganness,"" for instance, can go no farther than "to climb out on your own breadfruit tree to steal your 1 neighbor's breadiruit."

Mrs. Fielding. When the sessional visitor first goes to stay in Ottawa during the session one of the first friends she makes is sure to be Mrs. Fielding, and, what is still better, the frie ip thus be gun is sure to ripen and grow deeper with time and qpportunity, Therefore, it is easy to ubderstand the reason why Mrs. Fielding is always counted one of the most popular of the many popular wives of cabinet ministers in Ottawa. Mrs, Fielding before her marriage was Miss Hester Rankine, daughter of Thomas A. Rankins, of St. Jokn, New Brunswick, gnd during almost all the years since her mar- riage to the Hon. W. S. Fielding, now minister of finance, in 1876, she has lead the somewhat exacting life which of neeessity ig the lot of the wile of a man in a public career. How true a helpmate she has always been is known only to those who have had the opportunity of watching her daily home life. Although unfortunately far from strong, Mrs. Fielding never spares herself, and, realizing how im- prtant a part is the social side of ife during the sitting of parliament, 'she is untiring in her hospitality to the senators and mémbers of hoth sides of the house and to their fami- lies, Ahly assisted hy her very popu- 4 lar daughters, luncheon parties, din: ner parties, afternoon teas and re- ceptions succeed each other rapidly in the handsome home on Metcalfe street where Mrs. Fielding is the kindly and genial hostess, and to those who have enjoyed her hospitality the me- mory of her kindly, sympathetic dis position will always be 5 pleasant re- collection.

London Chroniele very largely attended public meeting was held lately at Corsham the home of lord Methuen--for the purpose of passing a resolution to be sent to the wounded general, express. ing his fellow townsmen's high admlr- ation for his distinguished services to the country during the campaign, and the sincere sympathy with him at be ing wounded. The Kev. J. D. Dunlap, vicar of Corsham, who presided, said he had comtumicated with the war office asking to be allowed to send a cablegram to lord Methuen through the official line, and had received an answer to the effect that private tele grams were not accepted for dispatch to South Africa, but as a special ex ception the secretary of state would transmit it to his lordship at govern ment rates. They were not there, con tinued the chairman, to describe lord Methuen's character as a man or a soldier; they all knew him as one of themselves, (Cheers) He moved that the following telegram be forwarded Dunlap, Corsham, to lord Methuen, Klerksdorp.

On the other hand, he says thas the king has two drops of French blood, derived from the unfortunate Mary Stuart; five drops of Scotch blood, for which he is indebted to James IV and to Darnley, queen Mary's hus band; eight drops of Danish. blood, and 4,040 drops of German blood.
