Now there is a new terror for the stranger in the traffic noises. In the old days the traffic puzaled you by its immensity; it sound was, on the 'whole; a rather pleasing rhythm, inviti your confidence. That sonorous old song of the streets is gone for ever. The traffic of Lon- wild beast show; the stranger in Lon- don stands aghast no longer at its immensity, he stands aghast at its war-whoops and its mutterings; at the infinite and appalling variety of its motor horns. The invention of the rubber type promised us comparative quietness in our streets, and for a while its use on horse-drawn vehicles did actually reduce fire clamor of the | traffic; but then came the motor, with | musketry rattle of machinery and its | pneumatic horns, and pandemonium | was re-born.

These provisions are | extensive, and are found in the New Zealand Factories Act. ~ It occurred to a law-maker that he could settle the difficulty of this Chinese competition by a neat amend- ment in the interpretation clause of the Act above mentioned. An amend- ment was therefore drafted and printed, and sent with the utmost seriousness and good faith to the Crown Law Office for consideration. It contained a provision in these words : "For the purposes of this Act (the Faotories Act) a Chinaman shall be deemed to be a girl under eighteen years of age."---M.A.P. wend | Dr. Morse's indian Root Pills owe their singular effectiveness in curing Rheumatism, Lumbago and Sciatica to their power of stimulating and strengthening the kidneys.

The author relates a num- | ber of anecdotes illustrating the many- | sidedness of His Majesty's activities, {and others that show his kindliness. | A typical incident showing the King's j special liking for children is thé fol | lowing, which occurred quite recently {© "An officer in the army, serving in i India, died before he had received a {medal to which he was entitled. Shortly afterwards his widow received {a command to repair fo Buckingham { Palace, bringing with her a son, if {she had one, or else a daughter. The {lady obeyed the command, accom- yanied by her little five-year-old son. | They were conducted into the Pres {ence, and presently found themselves {ell alone with the King, who, drawing he boy to him, and §iving him his 'father's medal, said: 'What I am do- ling you do not understand now, but you will understand some day.

Finger-Print Lore. The study of finger prints is becom- ling quite a fashionable one, and is {bring taken up with enthusiasm by young ladies. The following are stat ed to be established "axioms" of the cult. A man with white spots on his nails is unquestionably very fond of ladies' society; but, alas, is very fickle lin his attachments. A proud man is {invariably told by well-rounded finger nails, while swransparent nails, suffus- led with light red, denote a cheeriul, Joule, and loving disposition. But {ladies must particularly beware of the {man who bites his nails till a large portion of the skin is uncovered, for {such a one weuld prove a perfect Othello for a husband. A man with {long and pointed nails: betokens 'that {the owner is either a player on the {guitar, a budding Chancellor of the | Exchequer, a fashionable tailor, or an {ambitious attorney; while anyone hav. ing the nail of his left thumb all streaked--as though it had been stain. ed with snuff--is sure to turn out to {be a schoolmaster. Thick nails indi- |cate obstinacy and cruelty, while yel- low ones are the clerrest proof that | the possessor is a "villain eof the deepest dye." ---------------- Eighteen Years Wed. Eighteen years ago the King, then {Duke of York, married, at the Chapel { Royal, t. James', his cousin, Prin- {cess May of Teck, only daughter of ithe Duke and Duchess of Teck, The |same anniversary was also the birth- {ddy of the King's second sister, Prin- {cess Victoria, who was born at Marl- {borough House in 1868. Her Royal Highness has been for many years her august mother's inseparable compan. {ion. When still an infant, the prin- {cess was separated from her for sev- |eral months, for the then Prince and {Process of Wales went for a six months' tour together. They first vis- jited the Emperor Napoleon and the {Empress Eugenie at Paris. They then {spent the birthday of the princess {at Copenhagen, and afterwards stayed iat Berlin and Vienna. From there ithey went on to Alexandria, and near {Cairo the prince shot a crocodile. The tour ended with Constantinople and e Crimea. Safe From Detectives. "Do you know," began the barber as he laid the lather a crime and not be detected through the Bertillon system or whatever it is that pinches people by their thumb prints?" The victim moved uneasily in his chair, but circumstances over which he had no control sealed his lips. He grunted interrogatively and politely. "Yes, sir; the reason is simple. We ain't got no thumb prints. We get 'em sll worn off rubbing our thumbs over you fellers' chins. Fact! I'll show you when 1 let you out of the chair. My thumbs are pretty near as ironed out lcoking as your face will be when I finish with you." - A Royal Criticism. The lite Duke of DevBnshire, who was very careful in everything, once entertained King Edward VII. at a the talk of London. As His Majesty went away he complimented the duks on the magnificent manner in which everything had been done and the way in which the evening had passed off. He said he could not suggest any change for the , better, save in one little thing, which he hoped his would pot mind his mention- ing."

Since then he has shot an immense variety of big game in many countries. Sir Henry, it may be mentioned, is no lover of Zoos. To kill an animal "clean" is not reprehensible. But to ondemn a grizzly to solitary confine. ment for life in a small cage is, be ielares, an extreme form of refined and civilised cruclty. "The saddest s'ght of the kind that 1 know in Lon- don is to watch the grizzly, his claws worn to the quick, resilessly pacing behind ten feet of iron bars; or to see the Golden Eagle, whose natura! home is space, sifting in a cage, a lump of solitary misery. The eagl: should be killed and stuffed. For the grizzly half an acre of well-fenced ground, piled with rocks' and some trees, might faintly justify captivity, but not a ten foot den." Sir Henry once claimed that he had discovered the Garden of Eden. He was von-hunting at the time, and one day in thé course of his wanderings stuinbled upon a paleclithic instru. ment. Alter a careful examination of it he came to the conclusion that he was standing in the veritable Garden of Eden where Adam partook of the { forbidden frpst. and he suggested that it was withih thd bounds of possibility that in thd collection of - prehistoric art®les which™ very spade Adam used. unearthed was the Sir Henry is probably the only man in England who can claim to be able | to write with three pens at once--two {in his right and one in his left. Hick's Funniest Experience. The popular English actor, who | sailed for South Afriea recently with his equally popular wife, Miss Ella. line Terriss, was interviewed some time ago by a Welsh reporter, when the following dialorue took place "Do you know," said the actor, "I { can tll 'm in a Welsh theatre by { the rain coming through the roof. 'See the 'Leek'! "How long have { you been on the stage?' "I have {| annoyed the people for twenty-four | years." "And muy I ask your age, | because the girls will be interested?" | "Yes; I am forty." "What is your | funniest experience?' "Being inter- | viewed." "Anything else?" "Yes; | I took my wife's part in 'The Dash. ing Little Duke' one afternoon, and | as 1 was coming out to my cab to go | to the Coliseum 1 was made up a: | Serooge. A coster stood on the kerb, and he said, 'Law lumme, hasn't he aged!" Another time 1 drove up to the theatre in Dublin, and was hum- ming a tune when I got out.

Calvin Brown, { the presiding genius at' Earl's Court | Exhibition, related the following story the other day during the course of | an interview. Ou the opening day { of the exhibition the Duke of Argyll { asked Mr. Brown, who is an Ameri. | can, from what part of the States | he came. "From Nebraska," replied {| Mr. Brown. The duke thought for a {| moment, and then replied, with a { smile, "Oh, Nebraska; ii is famous | for. its horizons, is it not?" Nebraska, { ot course, is one great plain. Mr. | Brown, by the way, was being chaff. | od a short time ago about being an | American. "That 1 was born in Am- | erica," he said, "was the fault of my parents; that I live in England is my own fault." A Silent Duke. : The Duke of Devonshire, like his | forbears, has the reputation of being i & man of action and few wards. The !Cavendishes, indeed, have always been noted for their tacitarnity, as au old anecdote testifies. Two members of the family, generations since, when traveling to their home in the north, stayed for the night, inw a roofs in which were three beds. Before get. ting into bed each in turn drew aside the curtains of the odd bed, peeped in, and retired without comment. Next day, when they had ridden far from the inn, the one asked: "Did you see what was in that bed last night?" To which the other replied, laconically, "Yes." They had both seen a corpse in the third bed! Wages are not high in India. A na tive switchman on a railway and the native servant in a private family re. ceive 7 rupees, or about $1.90 a month.
