In facet, the freedom of writing trifles with less personal responsibility, and Long before he dreamt of becom- ing his son-in-law and biographer, | Lockhart caught a fleeting glimpse of novelist at work at this period, upon overlooking eyes. The story, as told by, Lockhart, is worth He explains how, in June, 1814, he happened to be spending the evening with his friend William Men zles, afterwards one of the Judges of the Supreme Court at the Cape: When my companion's worthy father and uncle, after seeing two or three bottles go round, left the juve niles to themselves, the weather be- ing hot, we adjourned to a library, which bad one large window looking northwards, After carousing here for an hour or more; I-obsgerved that a shade had come over the aspect of my friend, who happened to 'he placed Immediately opposite to my- self, and said something that indi- cated a fear of his being unwell. No,' he, 'I shall be well enough presently if you will only let me sit where you are, apd take my chair; for there is'a confounded hand | in sight of me here, which has often bothered me before, and now it won't | let me fill my glass with a good will "| I rose to change places with him ac- cordingly, and he pointed out to me this hand which, like the writing on Belshazzar's wall, disturbed the hour said Since we sat down,' he said, 'I have been watching it-----it fascinates my eye---it never stops--page after page is finished and thrown on that heap of , and still it goes on un- wearied---and so it will be-till candles are brought in, and God knows how long after that. It is the same every night--I can't stand a sight of it when I am not at my books.' 'Some stupid, dogged, engrossing clerk, probably," exclaimed myself, 'or some other giddy youth of our society." 'No, boys," sald our host, 'I well know what hand it is--'tis Walter Scott's'." That was the hand whieh, in the evenings of three summer weeks, ex- actly a hundred years ago, wrote the last two volumes -of "Waverley." One report had it that "Waverley" was the work 'of Scott's brother Thomas, who had gone to Canada as paymaster of the 70th Regiment, and ft amused the real author to encour- this idea. He even invited his borther to join in the plot by sending over the raw material for another novel, 'I will give it all the cobbling that is necessary, and, if you do but exert yourself, I have not the least doubt it will be worth $2,600; and, to en- courage you, you may, when you send the MS. draw on me for $5600, at fifty days' sight--so that your labors will not, at any rate, be quite thrown away. You have more fun and de- scriptive talent than mest people; and all that you want, namely, the mere practice of composition, 1 can supply, or the devil's In it. Keep this mutter a dead secret, and look know- ing when 'Waverley' is spoken of." Nothing came of this, but Scott con- tinued to disown his novels. When he sold to Constable the remaining copywright of the four works pub- lished between December, 1819, and January, 1821 -- "Ivanhoe," "The Monastery," 'The Abbot," and '"Ken- ilworth'---the stipulation was repeat- ed that his name was not to be re- vealed under a penalty of $10,000 For the remaining copyright of the four novels he had already cledred. at least $50,000 before this bargain was completed, thus making In all 75,000 for the fruits of scarcely wore than a year's work.

Average Man Hasn't the Privilege of Talking Poverty. One of the greatest hardships of | comparative poverty is that it must not .be admitted, says a [Londen Times' writer in the course of a most interesting article. For the poor man to say that he js poor is.fatal. To bide his miserable condition he must spend, and spend lavishly. He must feed at the best restaurants, be ¢loth- | €d by good tallorsi*scorn the cheap and convenient omnibus, adopt the worries of an in¢owme be does not pos- sess, and talk loudly of the iniquities of the supertax. By doing all this i He may be able to give to the rich, as well as to the other poor, an im- pression of wealth that at least keeps his credit good. Only"to the really rich and the really peor is it pertult- ted to practice economy openly, The really poor.do it becatse they have no credit; the really rich because they do not need it. Before we may indulge ourselves in that luxury of the rich, talking poor, we must be very sure of our banking account. It must be able to support us adequately in our protestations of poverty, fo that we may never be be- lleved, We must be beyond tempta- tion, able to talk poverty, but never forced to act it, We must haye so much money that we can really be- lieve ourselves poor, or at least cap- able of being made poor. As a rule when poverty hobnobs with wealth, wealth talks poor all the time and acts rich; poverty talks rich | and acts poor; that {8s the difference, M llionaires seems 10 take a special delight in seeking the sympathy of 500 pounds a year.

He does this partly because he likes to believe it, partly to head off any attempt on the part of 2,600-a-year to get anything out of him. But 2,500-a-year is flattered by it. He is pleased that the great man should come.down to his level and seek his sympathy. He feels that he Is seeing the human side of this mag- nate that is hidden from the rest of the world; and he alinost believes the story of the sorrows of the rich, And then, perhaps, difidently he will ask the great man to lunch with him, seems presumption, but then-----before he has over-stepped the bounds of consideration the poor should by right accord to the rich, the great man has accepted, hailed a cab, and given the driver the name of most expensive restaurant in town, Two thousand-a-year pays for the | cab and the lunch, and at the end of | the meal willlopaire shakes him warmly by the hand and leaves him and takes an omnibus to Pall Mall to buy another steam yacht.

Never Saw White" Man, Wild men Who never knew of a white race were referred to in an address before the members of the Royal Geographical Society, when Caaptain F. H. Bailey (whose earlier stories of the San-po or Upper Brah- mapootra, the mystery river of Tibet and far north-eastern India, are known to geographers) gave an ac count of the more recent exploration of 380 miles of that great stream. One hitherto unconsidered trifle discovered by the travelers was a snow-peak 24,460 feet high. It will be called Gyala Peri, on the new map of the unknown land. Very interesting is Capt. Bailey's account of the Daflas, a savige peo- ple of that region: "They are the wildest men I ever saw. They had never heard of white people. They khew nothing about India. They would not accept money for their honey; they appeared to be rather afraid of it. They wanted nothing but white Beads and salt. They dress their Bair by tying it in a knot over the forehead, through which a brass or bamboo pin, about a foot long is passed horizontally. In this is often a tuft of palm- leaves." What They Thought. The carter brought a heavy load of coal to the doors of an English coun- ty lunatic asylum and, getting no an- swer to his ring, entered and strolled along the corridors No ohe was about, and, seeing a door, he opened it and stepped inside. No one was there. Then the door closed, and he found himself in a padded cell. Pros- ently some visitors entered and peer- ed pityingly through an aperture in the door. "Please open the door," he pleaded. 'I've brought a load of coal." "Ah," sald one of the party, "that's his delusion. Some think they are the king or the mikado or Na- poleon Bonaparte. This poor fellow thinks he's a coal porter. Come along Rr Then they weéut on and left him. { Orthography of Shakespeare. Some interesting Shikespeareana appear in The London Record. It is well know that in Shakespéare"s time orthegraphy wae lttle account- ed of and that Jhakespeare himself would have considered the guektion of spelling his name in one way and not another a mere waste of time.

Everwiprning the children £0 to her home and read a portion of Scripture that has! been selected by the Queen. The religious training of.Princess Mary has been conducted s#lely by the royal mother. The princess has a resident governess, but Mr. Han- sell, the Prince of Wales' tutor, supervises the education of all the Engligh royal children. He holds an examimation of his illustrious pupils regularly once a month, and a re- port of their progress is sent to the King and Queen Discipline is maintained in the royal schoo] room on lines quite as striet as in any other. A printed list of rules hangs on the wall, and any violation of these is punished with extra lessons or detention in the school room. The princess and princes have their meals in a room adjoining the class room. Breakfast is at 8:30, lunch at 1 o'clock, tea at 4:20, and a light dinner is served at 7 o'clock. Punctuality is insisted upon on all occasions. There is only one English royal prince who is still in his nursery days--DPrince John, aged 9. He has always - heen the demon of the royal nurseries, and many good stories have been told of his pranks A few months ago he was a great disgrace, for, having gained posses- sion of his sister's paint box, he daubed his face with streaks of color, and enterec the dining-room, where the King was entertaining several very distinguished visitors. Few boys born of wealthy parents are so restricted in pocket money af are the English princes. They have practically no money to spend, and have to ask their tutors or gov- ernesses for anything - they may want In the Cannibal Isles. Solomon 'slands are in the Pacific Ocean, a little south of the tquator, ahd are mainly inhabited by Malays and Papuan negroes. On some of the smaller islands the na tives are cannibals. The captain of the Sea Queen knew this when he sailed from Queensland, Australia for Buka after a cargo of copra, but 'he ithagined the natives would be friendly, He was cruelly undeceived, The morning after the vessel's arri- val at Buka six beats came alongside and the natives swarmed up on the deck. The eréw brought out the goods for trailing purposes, and everything was apparently on a friendly footing when suddenly the natives attacked the sailors with knives. The three. One of these jumped over- board and wah drowned; the two sar- vivorg were bound hand and foot and carried ashore.

A Mathematical Marvel Has" Been Found In a Madras Office. There is at the present time study- ing at Cambridge one of the most wonderful mat ematicians the world has ever seen--a youngs Hindu, Mr. 8S. Ramanujan by name -- whose work, although be is only -twenty- 8ix years of age, has excited the ad- miration of all mathematical experts. Perhaps the most ' extraordinary thing about Ramanujan is that, as a mathematician, he is quite un- taught. Until a year ago he was a clerk in the employment of the Port Trust of Madras. But in spite of this, he has, to quote Mr-Hardy, Fellow of Trinity, who has taken a great interest in Ramanujan, "discovered for himself a great number of things which the leading mathematicians - of the last hundred years had added to the knowlédge of schoolmen, although he wis quite ignorant of their work and accomplishments Indeed, hia mathematical education is rather a mystery, and the first I knew of him wae about fifteen months ago wien he wrote to me explainiig who he was, and seit a large--aumbeér of remarkable mathematical theorems which he had proved." < This is the second mathematical génius produced by India in the last three years. At tMe end of 1912 the mémbers of the Royal Aslatic Society held a ¥pecially-eonvened meeting at Colonibo, when they were astounded by the arithmetical powers of a Tamil boy, Arumogam. A compli- cated series of sums had been pre- pared to test the hoy's powers, each of whieh he anawered within a few seconds. One sum was, "A chetty gave as a treat to 173 persons a bushel of rice eack. Each bushel contained 3,431,272 grains, and the chetty stipulated that 17 per cent. should be given to the temple. How many graing did the temple get? Within three seconds came the an- swer (which had to be translated), 100,913,709 with fifty-two as the fraction ever. Among other questions were the following: "Add together 8,596,497,718,826 and 96,268,593, "Multiply 45,989 by 864,726. "Find the fifth root of 69,343,967. "What weight of water is there in a room flooded 2 féet deep, the room being 18 féet 9 inches by 13 feet 4 inches, and a cubic foot of water weighing 62 1-2 pounda?"' To all of them Arumogam gave the correct answers within a few seconds. Undoubtedly one of the most won- derful = lightning calculators was George Bidder, the well-known en- gineer, who died in 1878. Bidder, whe with George Stephenson was one of the earliest to recegnize the value of the electric telegraph, first went to gchool at Camberwell, and after- wards atiended classes at Edinburgh University. And even as a boy of ten he could answer such questions as, "How many drops would there be in a pipe of wine containing 126 gallons, supposing that each gallon consisted of 221 cubic inches, and each cubic inch contained 4,686 drops?" It was a favorite pastime of boys and masters to coneoet the most dif- fieult arithmetical problems to test Bidder's powers of calculation, and these he invariably solved correctly within. a few seconds, apparently without effort. i A Real Jolly Evening. A study of Robert May's "Accom- plisht Cook," published in 1665, will serve to dispel the delusion fostered by many foreign critics that English cookery lacks variety.
