God forgive me. Good-by.” InfiniEely more touching was the lust, let- ter of the girl at Highfield. She spoke of her “premature and self-willed death,” and said : “I feel as though I want to be far away from everybody, and I know very well they can see by my face how miserable I am?” w...- She “felt as though she was going mad, ” but she did not forget. others. “Tell -â€"- my last prayer was that. he would forget. me and try to forgive me.

This is noth- ing more or loo than the demand for one year’s service for girls. She suggests that just as German youths are compelled to s end one year in barracks, so their sisters should be compelled to spend a. year in kindergarden, creches, kitchens. hospitals, and factories, to which they should give their servxces. Of course these institutions must be greatly multiplied to give work to all. As youths may choose their garrison andtroop. so thggidgm11t be allowed '0 GOOD FORM AMONG BRIGANDS.

Frau Lange con- aiders that this year of service would form and strengthen the character of girls as no family, school, or social life could. She deplores greatly the way in which German girls of the better classes spend their time in ‘energetic or lazy doing nothing.” The name of manganine has been given to a new alloy brought forward in Germany as a material of great resisting power, and which consists of copper, nickel, and max» ganese. The specific resistance of this arti- ‘ cle is given as forty-two microhm centi- meters; Lhat is higher than that of nicke- line, which has hitherto passed as the best resisting metal. Another advantage of manganine is its behavior under variations of heat, the resistance, it is claimed, being affected only in a minute degree by high temperatures. On this ac- count it is adapted to the manufacture of measuring instruments and of electrical ap- paratus in general, those which are requir- ed to vary their resistance to as slight a degree as possible under different degrees of heat. A further interesting fact is mentieu. edâ€"namely: that while other metals in- crease their resistance by the raising of the temperature, that of manganine is diminish- ed. --Ne .7 Sad: Sun. i 53;-;;dâ€" beiwxig himself unable-to swim at once persuaded the animal to jump into the . river to the girl’s rescue.

A Historian's Brain Professor Marshall's examination of the brain of George Grote, the historian, re- veals a. general richness of convulsions or folds and of grey matter, showing the brain to have had a very high organiza- tion.

There has been some talk in ofiicial circles in England about raising Sir Henry l’arkes, the Australian statesman, to the peerage. The only difficulty in the way is that. Sir Henry is not “overwhelmingly rich." This ditliculty is said to he insur- mountable. Before Millais was created a haronet Gladstone. questioned “'oolner as to the paintcr’s Worldly ez‘l'ects. \Vuolner, who was a gooddiearted fellow, informed the H.031. that “Johnny ” was “rolling in wealth.” The step was announced a few days afterwards. When \Ventworth made provision in his constitution bill of 1824 for hereditary titles, indignation meetings were held throughout the colonies, bitzvr protests were made, and jibes were flung.r at the "shoddy aristocracy of Botany ]:_l.\’.". Even Sir Henry Parkes himself, who is an Imper- ial Federationist, believes that a “colonial peerage” instead of strengthening. would weaken the ties that connect the mother country with Australia. It is, hon’ever, the popular belief in the colonies that a. new-{angled order is being hatched by Lord Wrington.
