J. H. Molesworth, late fn- | cumbent of Al Saints', Caire, writes {as follows on Lord Kitchener's re- ligion: "No one could be long in 'his com- | pany without realizing that he was a man who viewed life seriously. 1 may illustrate this from the effect he produced on society in Cairo, when he went there to take up bis posi- tion as British Agent ,sand { Consul- General. Cosmopolitan places "like | the capital of Egypt, which are large- | ly the haunts of pleasure, are often | given over'to a frivolity which is not | seen in cities of commerce and busi- |: | ness. There is frequently a relaxing | of morals bevond what is witnessed | elsewhere, and a general air of un- discipline, and it goes without say- | ing that in such places Sunday and | Sunday worship are at a discount. "It would be foolish to assert that | Cairo was free from these vices, But the coming of Lord Kitchener in- | stantaneously wrought a change. He was knownito be a man of unswerv- | ing devotion to duty, of disciplined life, of resolute purpose. Instinctive- iy we all braced ourselves up, and it vas as though a tonic had been ad- ministered to the place. So far as kis work permitted, Lord Kitchener | was regular and punctual in his | church attendance, and this at once told beneficially upon the Sunday | habits of the community. "He was president of All Saints' | Church committee, and I never re- member his omitting to take the chair, even when hard pressed by State business. "Earl Kitchener was indeed a type of that simple, manly, straightfor- ward Christianity which we associate with the best English Ifity, which does not trouble itself indeed about subtle questions and, controversies but rests on the broad facts of re- velation, and in simplicity practises its tenets." No More Gulf Stream? The Gulf Stream--that famous "hot-water system"--has deserted us and turned westward; at least, 80 we are told. As a general rule, after leaving the Mexican Gulf, the stream strikes north along the coast of North Am- erica until it reaches Newfound- land, which is also swept by the cold Labrador current from the north. it then proceeds due east, and in mid- Atlantic divides, part of it sweeping along the West Coast of Africa, and part of it warming our western shores. The probability is that, in view of this strange and unkind behav- four on the part of the Gulf Stream, inhabitants of these isles will have to bear with some chilly weather, hile fortunate mortals in other parts of the world will bask in their newly- found heat. That the stream has a definite ef- fect on our shores is shown by the fact that off the coasts of Britain warmer water is found at a depth of t of a mile than at a similar depth off the tropical coasts of Africa: : ' A cold summer of ten years ago was accounted for by the divergence of the stream to the north, and its fondness for this direction was again evinced in the winter of 1908, though a few years ago it made an appearance round the coasts of Aus- tralia. . An Unrehearsed Meeting, Sir Douglas"Haig fs as strict Wm exacting the military salute as he is punctilious In returning it, Recently he was walking up and down the platform of a small railway station "somewhere in France," dressed in plain clothes. A private soldier in uniform was also walking vp and down, but took no notice of him. - At length Sir Douglas stepped in front of him and said: "Look here, my man! Do you know who 1 am?" "No, 1 don't!" "I am Sir Douglas Haig." '"Here," cried the private indig- nantly, "don't you try to come fit. Why, if "Aig 'eard you say that, he'd punch your silly fat head for you." How's That? At the conclusion of the assizes at a provincial town the legal lam- inaries indulged in a cricket match. A certain well-known judge present- ly occupied the wicket, and so persis- tently did he lisplay the stome-wall- ing tactics that h opponents de- spaired of getting out. After a futtle appeal of 'fleg before," the judge said to the umpire: "I wonder if I am to be imprison ed here unti' the next assizes?' He had hardly spoken. when an extra fast ball removed the cross- "No, my lord," replied the umpire, a a sly grin; "you are bailed out." ! r 5 he Natural Protection.
