It was during this Jompol. ary stay in Cape Town that the fol- lowing amusing incident took place. Peary a a number of Jews went round the camp offering a collection of curios for sale, which the soldiers readily bought to take home as pres- ents. One morning the daredevil of the colnpany (a sergeant who had Busrowly missed being reduced to the ranks on many occasions) went round the camp and gave the follow- ing order; "The general commands that all goods offered for sale by hawkers in this camp shall be con- fiscated." The command was taken seriously, as the N.C.O. was on duty at the time he gave it. Presently e hawker came into camp carrying a Gladstone bag full of ostrich feathers. He entered one tent smiling, and saying "With your: permission" knelt down and opened the bag. As he was Sispla i his feathers and talking freely ith the men two crept quietly behind him with a blanket, and before he was aware of Anything he was trussed up, a struggling mass of humanity in the blanket. The bag and contents were immediately pounced upon and carried to another tent by the cul- prits to divide the spoil. opening the bag a great surprise was in store for them, for instead of their captite being an unlawful hawker, as they supposed, the contents proved him to be the representative of one of the leading firms in Cape Town. Here the men were in a fix, they could not go back now, for the man | had got loose from his bonds and was searching around for his bag. Had he reported his loss to: the of- ficer at once a search would undoubt. edly have been made and his bag found® but he went to his firm, who reported the case by letter. During the night a consultation was held by the men, and it was decided to carry the thing out to the full extreme, as it would go hard with the persons who tried to explain matters. Vari. ous suggestions were given, and it was decided to throw the bag into the sea and distribute the contents. But how was the feathers to be hid- den, for a search was sure to be made the following morning, and the company was due to sail in the after- noon? A bright idea struck one of them, and each took a feather and thrust it down the barrel of i rifle and replaced the sight protector. Early next morning a search was made whilst the men were on s but without avail. Nothing further was heard of the matter until the wagons were packed and all' were ready for marching to the quay. The march had just begun when an of- ficer came riding up and thundered the words, "Halt! Each man take one kit, open contents on the floor, and stand i ! It was amusing to see the expres. | by for inspection." sion on the face of the officer as he poked about the articles with his cane. He no doubt thought that if the report of the man was true he would surely find the feathers packed in some kit bag at the last moment. Nothing of an incriminating nature was found, and the men were allowed fo proceed to the ship, On arrival at -the vessel another surprise was in store for the men, for every rifle was immediately handed over to the arms room. A few days later, as the armory-ser- geant was cleaning the rifles, he came across a feather snugly con- cealad in one of the rifles. He placed it back Again, thinking it was a new way which the soldier had thought of to bring his feathers home safely. But the next rifle was the same, ahd the next, which aroused his suspic. ions, and he sent for the officer of the company. the rifles The officer was in a dilemma, for * he dare not send them back, still he did not wish to let the men have their ill-gotten gains, so he placed a feather in each of the rifles which had not contained anything. On ar- rival at the burracks the men pro- ceeded to take the feathers out, but great was their consternation to find ~ that the rifle of every man who was in the plot was empty, whilst those who had nothing to do with the affair had a beautiful feather each. No doubt many pretty girls are wear- ing those feathers now in their hats, little thinking of the many eventful episodes which those feathers had passed through. From Errand-Boy to Peer.

Late Captain Al ! of Engla In Captain Alfred Hutton, whose | death is announced, England joses one of = finest swordsmen it has ever ha Born in 1840 at Beverley, Yorkshire, Captain Hution acquired his taste for swordsmanship at his school at Black- heath, where the great Angelo was fencing master. He devo all bis spare time to the art, and was soon |! one of the most proficient pupils at Angelo's salle 'd'armes in St. James' street. He was church, but the outbreak of the In- dian Mutiny turned his thoughts to the army, and he joined the 79th Highlanders. The youngest officer was probably the most skillful swordsman in the army, though his comrades did not realize the fact. He brought with im a bundle of swords of different kinds, and one of the sergeants, anxious to teach the newcomer a lesson, chal lenged him to a bout. The sergeant, who had a reputation as a man-at- arms, chose the bayonet against the young ensign's sword, but was easily worsted, and the résult was the same when the weapons were cha After this feat the young officer was invited to form a fencing class for the officers and non-commissioned officers, and the swordmapship of the regiment was greatly improved. He continued this work in the other regiments in which he afterwards served--the 7th Hussars, and the King's Dragoon Guards--and throughout his career he was a strong vocate better swordsmanship in the army. He was one of the first, too, to raise bayonet fighting to the dignity ef a science. No man of his time knew more of swordsmanship, and his books on the subject, "Cold Steel," "Fixed Bayo- nets," and "The Swordsman" are classics, full of technical knowledge. and at the same time as delightfui as are the books of the late Captain Sir Richard Burton on similar subjects. In appearance Captain Hutton was a sixteenth century cavalier. His long, straight nose, short curled mous- tache, and slight peaked beard gave him a mediaeval, knightly appear- ance, Ek. was seventy years old. An Interesting Experiment. The following is an interesting ex- periment, which consists in placing five fluids on the top of one another in the order of their density without al- lowing them to mix. It is best to show this experiment after dinner when coffee is being served. You will then have all the liquids necessary at your command. A tall, thin glass" is the first requisite. At the bottom of this glass pour in a little cold sweet coffee. Then make a cone of paper, whose point is turned at a right angle, and cut off the point so 'as to make an opening no larger than a quarter of a dollar. Pour gently in a little cold water, which will escape by the limb of you funnel, impinge on the side of the glass and take its due place on the surface of the coffee. Cease pouring when the height of the water equals that of the coffee." Through a second eons you pour a layer of strongly colored wine, port il possible, through a third a layer of salad oil and through a fourth alcohol that is on the table for boiling your coffee. If carefully dor: each layer "will swim upon the under fluid, and the whole will present a glass of brown, white, red, yellow and white layers of liquid. ' Connaught In Africa. Here is a pleasing little pictare, furnished by a correspondent who ae- companied the royal party# The of the Duke of Connaught through South Africa, has assumed the character of a triumphal progress. Al every tiny station in the vast expanse of the brown Karroo there was a gathering of farmers, many of whom had driven twenty and thirty miles in wagons drawn by tyelve or four- teen mules or oxen. British and Dutch were equally eager to see the duke and duchess, and the duke sent them away proud and pleased and brim- ming over with loyalty after chatting with them, showing his interest in their affairs, shaking hands all round, and finally waving farewell from the window as the train moved on. Na- tives, in a great state of excitement, chanted wild songs of welcome. "Koffo of Bond Street." Mr. George (raves, who is appear ing with such success on the variety stage in London in "Koffo of Bond Street," is an enthusiastic sporteman, and récently had a day's shooting in Norfolk. Missing his train back he endesvored 0 catch it at Cambridge by motor-car, but failed, owing to the bursting of a tyre. In order to ap- | pear at the theatre he was compelled to charter a special train from the University town. Mr. Graves's re mark, as he alighted from his expen- sive conveyance at Liverpool street and handed his man a brace of pan ridges, was very characteristic of him, "Get these birds stuffed, they come too high to eat." % Digging for Fish. The natives of certain parts of In- dia are in the habit every year in the summer of digging the dry river banks for fish, which they dig out by hundreds, just as they would pota- toss. The mud lumps are broken open, and the fish, Derhapy eight inches or ten inches long, will always be found alive and often- frisky, as if jus} removed from its su na. tive element--the water. intended for' the | ANOINTING A NEW KING. Many Historic Customs Dropped Since George 1V."s Coronation. ! The crowning of the King of Eng land has usually been accompanied by | what was regarded as the still more | solemn rite of ancinting with oil, { which dates from the days of the an- { cient Hebrews. And in England, be- } fore the Norman conquest, the term i used was "hallowing," or consecration, { rather than that of coronation. But from old records it seems that the ceremony as then performed at | Winchester was it all essentials the sarue as that which now takes place {in Westminster abbey.

At his crowning a coronation banquet took place, there was a procession of peer, the herb sirewer scattered flow- ers, and the challenge of the cham- pion of England was included in the ceremony. But at the coronations of William IV, Queen Victoria and King Edward these old customs were for various reasons omitted. o However, much remains that is eof deep interest and stately splendor. The dean and chapter of Westminster claim the right to instruct the sove- reign in the duties of this solemn ser- vice, and on coronation day the re galia are delivered into their custody.

Mr. C. Lewis Hind draws a striking ipicture of the artist's vision in the English Review, especially of those whom he calls "The Onafraid," such as Beurat, Signae, Van Gogh, and Gauguin. "How can I hope to illustrate the intensity of their achievement in a few pages? We who sit at home -in ease constructing arm-chair theories can hardly realize their white-liot, fever-tossed mania for expression. It is well. Goya looked into gulls.

Behind the Conservative Guns. At the Conservative Central Office, Westminister, sits the man, Mr. James Percival Hughes, who organ- izes and directs the Tory forces. Mr. Hughes became chief t of the Tory party in 1907, and arduous- ness of the work may be gathered from the fact that he once confessed that he barely found time for a daily walk. Mr. Hughes has had a varied career. In the first place, he was private secretary to the late Calonel Fred Burnaby. gallant soldier and pioneer aeronaut, and after the lat ter's death was left trustee of his estates in Ireland on behalf of the colonel's only son, whe has distin. guished himself as the inventor of the Atalanta mono-rail high-speed system. Then Mr. Hughes was called to the Bar. but his high reputation as 'an organizer and his fondness for political work led him to his present responsible position. The Liberals' Chief Agent. Cordial congratulations from mem- bérs of both parties reached Sir Robert Hudson, chief agent of the Liberal party, when he was knighted in 1906. for he has earned the respect and goodwill of political opponents as well as political friends. The knighthood came to him as a com- plete surprise. being carefully plan- ned by the late Sir Henry Campbell. Bannerman; and it was an honor richly deserved, for, thanks to Sir Yobert, "the Liberal party was never better equipped for fighting than it is today. To the man in the street Sir Robert is little known, but he has long worked behind the scenes. He has been connected with the fortunes of the Liberals for almost thirty vears, and has been chief agent for the Liberals since 1803. He is, as a man in his ition must be, con- spicuous for business ability and de- cision of character. ~ An Alien Gang.
