The majority are four-lined, the chanty man or 4 the chorus tak- ing a line alternately. ' tes of these songs are in exist. ence, but they are not sung indiserim, inately. There is an appropriation of certain 'ones to certain i con- nected with the worki of a ship which entail heaving or hauling. For instance, one of the oldest and most popular-- "As.1 was a-walking down Paradise Street, With my ['Aye, aye, blow the man down!' S I chanced' 80 neat, Give us some timé to blow the man wn," . / Q on a frigate, so mice and "Boney was a warrior, 5 Oh, ay, oh! {~~ Boney was a fighting man 4 ' A long time ago"-- 'would be entirely out of place when the singers were engaged in heaving up the anchor, the refrain being to- tally unadapted to the long, slow movement with which the turning of # capstan is necessarily accomplished. That the words' of many of the chanties are meaningless detracts nothing from their value. There is a swing and'a rhythm'about them that makes listening delightful, and gives them a highly practical value hy caus- ing the men enguged'to work in uni- son, thus utilizing their combined strength to the full advantage. As might be expected, the sailor's traditional lowe the feminine sex gets full latitude in the songs with which he encourages himself when at work, and few éhanties are sung with better feeling than those into which enter such references. A Link With the Past. A link with !great events and, pér. sonalities of the last century ' was severed by the death recently of Lady Herbert of Lea, mother of the late Bir Michael Herbert, who was Ambassa- dor to Washington, and married Miss Wilson, : Lady Herbert was: jhe widow of Sid- ney Herbert, who wus War Minister at the time of the Crimean war. She was thé author of several books and a leading member of the Catholic Society. Lady Elizabeth Herbert of Lea was the daughter of Gen. A. Court and the niece of Lord Heytesbury. She married the Right Hon. Sidney. Her- bert in 1846, and was thus the mother, of the thirteenth and fourteenth Earle of Pembroke. She was the author of many books of travel and short stor< ies, among which were "Cradle Lands," "Impressions of Spain,' "Children of Nazareth" and "Lives of Monsignor Dupanloup." and others. She lived for many years in Herbert | House, in Bélgrave square, London. ' Suffragettes' New Move.

Speaking to a representative of the Daily Sketch she confided to him her intentions. « "I mean," she declared, age a suffrage clause inserted in the Home Rule Bill.

Thus it would seem the duty of Australian wamen to consider wifehood and ma ternity as the ideals of life. From the realization of those ideals shere are few of the deterrents that exist in mére crowded communities. Ex. cept where individuals are hopelessly visions or inefficient there is no real verty.

Wales has probably the longest chimney in.the world. It is two miles high, and has a brook runnin through it. The chimney is ns with the copper works at Cwmaven, near Aberavon. This is how it came | to be built, About 80 years ago the copper smoke from these works was the 'pl e of the neighboring country. side, - Tt settled upon and destroyed 'the' grass for 20 miles round, while the sulphur and arsenic in the fumes affected hoes of cattle, Saising gangrene. company tri sorts ol devices to remedy the trouble, but in vain. Finally, Mr. Robt. Bienton. who was later engineer of the Bind ailway in India, solved the problem. The co per works are ai the foot of a high, steep mountain. Mr. Brenton con- structed a flue or chimney running continuously from the base to about 100 feet above the summit, follow- ing the natural slope of the ground. The brick which lined it, and of which it was largely constructed, was burned close by. A small spring, rughing out near the mountain top, was turned into the chimney, and allowed to flow through almost its en- tire length to condense the smoke. Once a year it is awept out, and about a ton of preeipitated copper obtained. Its top can be ecen for between 40 and 50 miles. » « Aids lpventer.

During the last few months, on several days when the diplomatic situation: was specially acute--riotably on the mem. orable day when the King put off his departure from London for Good- wood, and when Kurope was on the very verge of war--the four telephone lines between London and Paris were monopolized by the Foreign Office for the greater part of the day. As-a-matter-of fact, only one line was required by the Foreign Office, another being requisitioned by the French. Ambassador in London, but the other twp lines were deliberately held up by the authorities, in order to guard against any attempt in Lon- don or' Paris at "tapping" the. lines t tothe on long Clerks had, indeed, fo be dr % from the Treasury and Home Xo : to assist the Foreign Office. in pouring 1, Sales Nogormton, © Heo Ocllosted " es a : ae Fire Pe Conveyancing and Real Estate ~ E.
