Little Paragraphs About Some Pro- minent People. Sardines-on-toast are a favorite breakfast dish of the British Prime Minister. The Prince of Wales has worn out five uniforms since he went to the front in November of last year. Sir Frederick Milner has made over five hundred speeches on behalf of the interests of our disabled soldiers and sailors. The Countess of Beckendorff, wife of the Russian Ambassador in Lon- don, is one of the best lady bridge players in London. Margarine is now being supplied to the household of the Princess Alex- ander of Teck for the use of the Princess and her family. General Sir H. Smith-Dorrien smokes a cigarette daily after his morning bath, a pipe after breakfast, and a cigar after dinner. M. Delcasse, who has retired from the French Ministry, purchases most of his clothes in London, where he says the best tailors in the world are to be found. Two different kinds of tea are served at the Royal 'breakfast-table-- China tea, at 4s. 6d. per pound, for Queen Mary; Russian tea, at 6s. per pound, for his Majesty. Sir Henry Kimber has rescued over a hundred great commercial en- terprises from disaster. He has for years made a sort of hobby of this particular form of business activity. "Lord Cowdray has commercial in- terests in more quarters of the earth than any other great captain of in- dustry, and has visited every part of the world where he has these inter- ests. General Tekoff, the commander-in- chief of the Bulgarian Army, was, as a lieutenant, once courtmartialled and sentenced to be shot for striking his superior officer; but the sentence was remitted the day after it had been assed.

Costs Ten Shillings a Week to Sup- port Each Alien. There are almost 80,000 aliens of military age interned on the Isle of Man, all men, and they are being sup ported by the British Government at an approximate cost of 10 shillings per capita weekly. Elaborate camps, with modern sewage systems, have been constructed, and a beginning has been made in establishing work- shops where idleness can be turned into industry. In time all the intern- ed aliens may be taken to the Isle of Man. There are almost 4,000 at Alex- andra Palace, in London, still. There are no longer any internes at Frim- ley, near Aldershot. There are still many thousands of Germans and Austrians who have not been interned, and all have a chance of appearing before a tribunal estab- lished for the purpose of deciding whether = internment is desirable. When interned they can communicate with their home Governments through the American Embassy, which still maintains two men at the former home of Prince Lichnowsky, in Carlton ter- race, London. For many months these two men have been Edward G. Lowry, of New York, and Leland H. Littlefield, of Providence. The agitation calling for the whole- sale internment, of enemy aliens, which a part of the London press carried on most vigorously last year, has now died down, and there appears to be no general criticism that the Home Office is not handling this difficult problem fairly and successfully. * OLDEST BRITISH SOLDIER 70. He's Probably More, Know. _ Although he must be well over 70 years of age, Private Bill Hall of the Royal Engineers is fighting against the Germans with the British army in France. . Hall's approximate age--he does not know it exactly himself--has just been found out by his comrades as a result of the discovery that he has a son also at the front who is 49 years of age. : Sergt. W.

And if the bombs fell on us, we should not complain, for that would mean an end to our torments, and would be preferable to an English court of law. We should then die like other war- riors, simultaneously with our en- emies.

"Last Thursday while passing across the Karola bridge I saw a sight so pitiful and horrifying that I could hardly believe my own eyes.

" CAUSE OF BLUE MONDAY. Scientists Say There Are Many Reasons and Lists Several, Scientists are declaring that "Blue" Monday is far from being a joke. Social science in its quest for the problems that most affect humanity has stumbled on this day of the week. Dr. Thorndyke claims that it is sim- ply because Monday is Monday. The skilled hand has lost its technique 'and finish, and humanity in general finds it hard to start afresh a habit that had been broken--the habit of work. The reasons why Monday is "blue" are thus summarized. On that day persons have back to work. It is washing-day. i Collectors. and agents call. The school bell rings again.

WAR HELPS IRELAND. Many New Industries Are Springing Up in Cities. Ireland is making a bold bid for the capture of several markets hith- erto dominated by "enemy traders." Toys, carpets and cigarettes are the most successful examples of new in- dustries thus far developed. "The new workshops for the manu- facture of dolls and toys have at. tracted large numbers of girl work. ers who were thrown out of employ=« ment by the hard times prevailing in the lace and millinery trade in Bel gium and Dublin. The financial re sults of the new enterprises are said to be most encouraging. The "Turkish" carpets made in Ireland are of a type which experts declare are destined to deceive even the elect of Constantinople. It is not- able that many of the largest of re- cent orders comes from Egypt. The manufacture of hand-tufted carpets is about 15 years old in County Done- gal, and gives employment to hun- dreds of peasants who have inherit~ ed through all the troubled ages of Irish history the subtle "knack" for form and color that distinguished their Celtic ancestors. y Cigarette factories have sprung up as if by magic in several cities, and are employing great numbers of nim« ble-fingered girls. There is also talk of a commercial glass factory in Dub- lin. pL : 3 ™ » PRA LI ® Proverbs of the Highway.
