It is suggested that the trust shall Sonaist of a chairm vice-chairman and thirty-seven trustees appointed by Government Departments, puble bodies, and traders affected by the change. « It i8 noteworthy that no one associat- ed with a rallway is to be eligible for any office connected with the trust. This is significant of the idea which underlies this sémi-nationalization of canals. 4 The canals of England, including ca- nalized rivers, have a total length of 3,906 miles. Of this mileagé railway companies have obtained control of nearly one-third, "so adroitly selected," a witness told the Select Committee in 1883, "as to strangle the whole of the land water traffic." Two difficulties, but not insturperable ones, present themselves to the trust-- the width of locks and the question of haulage. - For the latter "it is suggested that overhead electric traction should sup- ersede horses amd steam, but the lock diftculty is one which will need serious consideration before any scheme of . recently arrived in New ship afloat at present.

About a hun- dred, forming the inner line, wore 'the white gown and cowl of bards, and Tie thelr beards that streamed below their waists. Others, consisting of most no- ble arches, past noble arches, past arches, grand arches and vice-arches wore gowns of red, blue and gold, with golden beards, gold lace collars, and a profusion of medals, mystic symbols and orders, - All carried brass sickles on the end of long staves or brass spears. When all was ready the bards formed an arch with their sicklés, and the most noble grand arch, G. A. Larnder, the head of the order, emerged from the tent, and, accompanied by other great Druids, marched slowly and solemnly beneath the sickles to the strains of the "War March of the Priests" played by a Druidic band, The most noble grand arch took his placé at the altar, and the 25 initiates were led from the tent, with Sir Ed- mund Antrobus at the head. They were blindfolded, and walked in Indian file, each man with his hands on the shoulders of the man in front of him, The curious procession excited the merriment of the distant crowd, who roared with laughter and shouted sa- tirical advice. As they approached the bards and brethren burst into the song of wel. pared the following verse was sung: Now, now, your rites prepare, With secrecy and care. 'When the flames arise, "Unbind their eyes, Our mysteries let them share. The initiates, still blindfolded, then took the obligation, and, directly they had done so, the sacred fire at the al- tar was"kindled, while "the brethren sang: See, see the flames arise! Brothers now your songs prepare, And ere their vigor droops and dies Our mysteries let them share. With evergreen their brows entwine, And hail them" with your songs di- vine. And let them know the mistletoe, And Togo Dubiline, The gentleman with the familiar name was born In Drufdic times, in a hollow oak tree." He is stated to be no relation to the Japanese admiral of that name. } The initiates were tlien sworn by the solemn oaths which bird all Druids to eternal secrecy, and after more singing and other rites, which were carefully shielded from the eyesiof the prying public and the still more prying camera, the most noble grand arch de- scended m the altar and: whispered into the'ear of each man, This was the most secret part of the ceremony. It consisted of placing the new brothers in possession "of al the mystic signs, countersigns, inner and outer passwords, and counter-pass- words, and the methods which enabled one brother to recognize another if he meets him in the Arablan desert--but of these a Druid may not speak even to the wife of his bosom. *All Round the Oak" was then sung to the tune of the National Anthem, and the final chorus, which closed the lodge. The sacred fire of salt and me- thylated spirit was them put out, the . and grand officers, having abandoned their beards and gowns, drank many cups of tea and discussed the lore of the ancients. - By 8 o'clock they were gone.

It is she who does the buying and selling, ow- ing to the unconquerable indolence of the men." She sits on a low yellow mat in her stall and holds up to you a piece of silk, Her hands are pretty and there are many gold bangles on her wrists. A sleek head and smiling eves are visible above the rim of the silk- She holds it up as a child would hold up its last new toy for. admiration. You ask the tice of this trifle of amber and rose and she slyly suggests a quite fantastic sum, as if she wefe playing at "keep- ing shop." You propose to give her half the amount she has ventured upon. This amuses her beyond words.: She is filled' with laughter, for the jest is evi- dently much to her liking. Smiling, moreover, becomes her, as her teeth are exquisite. There is more move- ment of her shapely fingers and of sup- ple wrists; the silk is dropped and an- other piece is held up with mute ques- tioning. You renew the offer of half the price named for the plece first shown. She again becomes radiant with laughter and hides her mouth be- -hind ;the edge of the outstretched stuff. With Infinite shyness she suggests a less bxtreme thutflation of her original price. She half whispers the sum as if it were a possible answer to some absurd conundrum. You finally take the silk for half--for exactly one-half of the sum originally discussed. She is 'perfectly delighted and appears to regard the long bargaining as the best of fun. It is all excellent fooling, this playing at "keeping shop" by a pictur- esque woman instead of a child, but the woman--like the child--is never a loser at the simple game. ---------- Known to British Public, Sherlock Holmes shares with Ally Sloper the honor of being one of the few characters created in recent years that 'are really known to the British publfe. That public recognizes a gay Lothario, and understands when Mark Tapley 1s mentioned. 'It regards Punch as a 'personality, It has a few names which are general terms. Say "Sher- lock 'Holmes" and the man with his aspect jumps to the view. For the hap- Py chance came to Sir Conan Doyle, even as it came to Charles Dickens when Cruikshank drew Pickwick. For Mr. Sidney Paget drew Sherlock Holmes years ago In The Strand Magazine. 'That detective whose face encountered in the street would poke pins into your conscience! 'Whence came that face? The explanation comes through the Literary Letter bf The Sphere, where Mr, Shorter tells us--though not in these words--that he has just intro- duced Sherlock Holmes to his father. For' Mr. Sidney Paget took his brother as model, and Mr. Walter Paget, artist himself, has probably to waste much time in explaining to policemen that he has no interest in crime and its sup- pression. "It was my privilege," writes Mr. Shorter, "the other day actually to introduce for the first time Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, to the famous detective him- self as he is known to the public through pictures."

It was in the Casirio--one of the innum- erablé casinos that punctuate the French coast--and the speaker was, of course, English. "Lizzie looks so much better for lies bath" she remarked blandly. . "She has turned green and WAS s0 grey when she went into the sea. Horror-struck listeners turned to gaze at Lizzie.
