Fii) Letters written by Charles II. of England, when li fugitive from his throne and people, to Sir George Cat- eret, at that time Lieut.-Governor of Jersey, and to the bailiffs and cur- ates of the island, have been discover- ed in a secret drawer of an old piece of Jersey furniture at a sale conduct- ed on the death of Madame Humbert, a descendant of Caterets on the mat- ernal side. The existence of the let- ters had been known, but thirty years ago they disappeared and no trace whatever was found until an antique dealer, conducting the sale, found the secret drawer. One letter is Charles's farewell to Jersey, and an acknowled- gment of the islanders' loyalty to the throne. This was written immediately after the Battle of Naseby. Another urges the speeding up of supplies which the islanders consented to give him, and was written from his Court at Elizabeth Castle, Jersey, while a third gives instructions and permis- sion for forming a company from among those deriving trade in the premier industry of the island at that time--the manufacture of worsted stockings. The letters, under the will made a year ago by Madame Hum- bert, are to be handed over to the possession of the Societe Jersey and wil lfind an honored place in the mus- eum.

WESTON Weston Admiral Sir Charles Madden is re- sponsible for an amusing story con- cerning a distinguished Italian naval officer who was a truest in the ward room of a certain British battleship. At lunch the steward offered him a rice pudding, naming the dish in def- erence of the guest's limited know, ledge of English foods. But the gal- lant officer rejected the proffered helping with every sign of disgust. "What's wrong, captain?" queried one of his hosts. "It's only rice pud- ding, wholesome, if uninteresting". "No doubt", was the answer. "But in Italy, you see, we do not eat vermin". A chorus of surprise: "Rice-vermin?" "Si, si, I know enough English for zat. Mouse; plural mice; rats, plural rice. I eat :19 rats, sank you!” T Russian newspapers recently re- ported, with considerable display, that the Soviet authorities in the Far East of Siberia had taken steps aim- ed at preserving the remnants of ' a tribe called Karagasi, held to be close relatives of the Indians of North America. Although these distant cousins of the American Indians are described as peace-loving hunters, who avoid clashes with other tribes and never commit theft or murder, their conditions of life have been so hard that their number has been re.. duced to about 400. By transferring them to a district where there are plenty of wild animals and game fowls, the Soviet Government hopes, to prolong the existence of the race.
