When he was thus '"'boo- he seemed to the peasant to be quite daft; but his ma- lady was intermittent, for actually he could sometimes say " Good morrow, John," just like anyone else. This may be supplemented by one of the | Wordsworthiana which came to me on good authority. Some thirty years ago an aged lady who in her girlhoo had known the poet, told me that he once showed her a daisy besprinkled with dew and applied to it the lines which I quote from memory: Small =-- is true service while it las triends, however humble, scorn ce; Protects the lingering dewdrop from e sun. . mposed on the spot; but it is pos- rie that it ani! been written before, was drawn from the poet by the shject illustration This incident seems to me worth mentioning. It awakened a special interest in a grandson of Wordsworth, who told-me that it was almost, if not quite, i only one of his great kinsman's poem he asion of which had been sme known to him. A Bust of Rol The bust of the late ir 0. 6. ag n which the sculptor, Mr. W. C. hay, has been engaged, re 'the supervision of Lady Llangattock, has now heen finally approved. The bust, which is looked upon as a remarkabl successful study of the ge apne aviator and motorist, is borne upon a four-side pedestal, each of the four sides being ornamented with a panel descriptive of a notable event in Mr. Roll's career. These represent: The Paris to Sherborne (Norfolk) balloon voyage; starting for Calais (aeroplane flight); Paris to Berlin (motor race); Dover to Calais and back (aero lana flight). The rear "the bust itselé, instead of a oy vat in the rough, . is finished with a mo f roses and inscribed with "Charlee Stewart Rolls," together with a Latin phrase prophesy- ing that the aviator wil be renowned to posterity. Mr. May, it will be re- membered, was the sculptor employed on the national Armada Memorial eee by the nation on Plymouth oe. The Unionist Oaganize At the Conservative Central Office, Westminster, sits the man, Mr. James Percival Hughes, who organizes and directs the British Tory forces. Mr. Hughes became chief agent of the Tory party in 1907, and the arduous- ness of the work may be gathered from the fact that he once confessed that he barely found time for a daily walk. Mr. Hughes has had a varied career. In the first place, he was private sec. reary to the late Col. Fred. Burnaby, gallant soldier and pioneer aeronaut, and after the latter's death was left trustee of his estates in Ireland on behaif of the colonel's only son, who: has distinguished himself as the-in- a Atalanta mono: rail high- em. en ughes wa; ! called PA the Bar, pat his high repu- led h ' Liberal party, when he ia hw hi eral eanets : oe HAUNTED JUNGLE.

Heavy rains and storms all the year round, hardly a day or night passing without a downpour; and during the so-called wet season, June-September, incessant rain night and day, and, in consequence, heavy floods. About a week ago Capt. Raw- lings and Dr. Marshall had just reached the Iwaka river by a 51-2 mile route, which, "however, only ge us three miles or so due east. he junglk in this direction is the worst we have yet encountered, and one might well spend a lifetime in jungle trails and yet meet with no- thing to equal this. The mere fact that it exists in one of the only re- maining apots of the world yet to be xplored is sufficient reason for pre suming that the difficulties to be overcome are exceptional. t is virgin jungle, never before trodden by the foot of man; to its hidden depths the natives are com- plete strangers; the pigmies from the hills shun it; and the natives from the low lands fear it, probe its dark mysteries. skirts and more open parts bordering the river are frequented by casso- wary, boar, and walleby, and are the haunt of the greater Bird of Paradise, whose shrill, joyous calls from its dancing trees enliven these dark depths. Less than a mile from the river the trees and saplings encroach upon one another to such an extent that it is imgossible for a man _ to stand ut spot without being touched on every side by their struight stem3. In addition to this these are heavy undergrowth and manyother obstructions from falling and rotting trees. It is the haunt of all creeping things, from the deadly puff adder to the greater, yet com- paratively harmless python. Noxious insects abound, and leeches swarm en the saturated, moss-ridden trees and undergrowth. Everything decdy- ing; no air seems to circulate there, and what little there is is foetid and Dismal, dark, dripping--this is the jungle where for days and weeks we have been trying to cut a path, along which we may squeeze through to the big valley, which undoubtedly lies 13 or 13 miles to the east. With Gurk- hes und nutives cutting and hacking with axee for hours on ead, some slight advance is made. Never a halt or rest--for a3 scon as cne man's hand gives out, rendered ineapablo by bruises and blisters, his place is promptly taken by another and a fit- ter. Four weeks' arducus and con- stant work bas resulted in the cut ting of 5.900 yards of road." Dr. Eric Marshall in a letter gives some interesting details of the naires in these unknown regions. He say "Woman out here is relegated ry y very inferior position. Her duties are numerous, for she drags,up the children, cuts the firewood, brings in the sago from the sago swamps, and works the canoes so far as poling and paddling go; occasionally proving her ekill as a warrior in the family and village quarrels, and slways coming off best with her tongue. The tailor. ing department does not worry her much, she being usually centent with a strip of bark cloth which adorna her person if it dees not suffice to clothe her, On the death of a man--men pre- dominate in this region--the night is spent by the mourners in shouting, chanting, and yelling aroond a large fire, with the purpose of driving away the ghosts or devils. From time time the widow, clad like Eve, as ugly as Satan, crawls around the grave wuiling and chanting, and performing weird movementa with arms and body. Premier's Test of Fitness. Brockett Hall, Hatfield, where the King and Queen are to pay a visit to d and Lady Mount Stephen, for- merly belonge d to Lord Palmerston, last election for Tiverton. last days a story has been told-of the moribund Premier's unconquerable pluck and cheerfulness. There were then some tall railings just opposite the front door. One day the invalid, who imagined himself uncbserved, was seen to walk out bareheaded and deliberately climb over the rails and climb back again to feel how fit he jaa. One of the real romances of life is associated with the career of Lord Mount Stephen. Born of Scottish parents, he received his early eduea- tion in a parish school, and wor between his etudies as a herd boy. He passed into a draper's shop in Aberdeen, and when in his twenty- first year emigrated to Canada, where he made a fortune in the woollen trade, and largely financed the con struction of the Ganadian Pacific Railway. He received the honor of a peerage in 1891, and is one of the most generous men in the world, gen- erally contributing to charities in thousands of pounds. A Well-Earned Honor.
