Kitchener replied he could not see his way to reâ€" commend him for a commission, but would gladly promise that Meyer should be given a military funeral if he died while employed in the Army department. Kitchener‘s power of persuasion was quite uncommon. Here is an instance: When the late Amir of Afghanistan visited India in 1907, the program of functions and ceremonies was arrangâ€" ed with motor cars as the means of conveyance. Shortly before his arrival it was asâ€" certained that nothing would induce the Amir to enter a motor. All the timings, therefore, had to be rearâ€" ranged, and state carriages collected from hore, there, and everywhere. He was duly met by a state landau, and lunched with Kitchener next day. During the meal, Kitchener said he was taking him for a motor drive after luncheon. The Amir was horâ€" rorâ€"sticken, and said he could not think of it. K. insisted, telling him they would go very slowly, and he had a special expertâ€"an RA. officerâ€"to drive him. The Amir eventually gave way. The result was that afterwards the Amir would not get into a carâ€" riage, and al} the timings and so on had to be again altered! A further sequel was that the Amir bought sevâ€" eral cars, and insisted on taking the officerâ€"driver back to Kabul with him. Liâ€"chi, who romantically and injudiciâ€"‘ ously, fell in love with Chang, a poor , younr man, who lived in the island home portrayed on the top of the patâ€" tern, and who had been her formidâ€" able father‘s private secretary. Changed Into Turtieâ€"Doves. That arrogant bigâ€"wig heard them one day pledging their vows of love umler the orangeâ€"tres, and forbade the unequal match. The lovers, howâ€" ever, were not impressed ‘by his| worldly arguments,. They contrived to| elope, and found a place of hiding in} the gardemer‘s cottage. Frorm it they| made their escape in a boat to the igâ€"! land home of the Chinese Romeo.

A Handâ€"Written Bible. Prince Edward Island Fisheries In common with other industries, the fisheries of Prince Edward Island suffered during 1921 by the general trade depression and the United States "emergency tariff." While the quantity of fish caught last year was well up to the average the market was in an unstable condition and in consequence prices obtained were conâ€" siderably less than those prevailing during the preseding year. Altogether $862,826 wre obtained for the catch which is a considerable reduction from the 1920 figures of $1,730,285. Lobsters wore the most important| fish caught by the Island fishing flect,! and were valued at $649,298. Of thisl amount canned lobsters accounted for: $629,600; tomally lobsters $1,075, and lobsters sold in the shell $18,624. It was the custom of the fishermen to take the biggest share of their catches of lobsters direct to Boston, but the advent of the United States "emerâ€" gency tariff" has effected this market to some extent. Smelts and trout came next in value, and of these $68,â€" 081 worth were caught. Herring and mackere] were valued at $59,506; hadâ€" dock and hake $54,040; oysters $25,â€" 669; caplin and eels $4,887; and tomâ€" .my cod and clams $494. A bulletin recently issued by the Alumni Federation of the University of Toronto gives some facts _wl_{ich are of interest to the people of Ontario. In this bulletin it is pointed out that, unfortunately, opinions are rather too frequently stated as if they were facts, especially when the work of a great provincial institution of higher learnâ€" ing is under review, For example, the amount of the annual expenditure of the Provicial University is oftenl greatly exaggerated; the exact figures for the year 1920â€"21 are $1,937,516. This amount is a little more than half 1 the amount of the average expendiâ€" ture on universities in the United States of about similar size. | It is also pointed out that the present exâ€" penditure shows only a natural and gradual increase during the past twenty years or so when it is rememâ€" bered that during that period of years the University has more than doubled in size, that new faculties and l departments have been added in order to meet the needs that have arisen on account of the development of the province as a whole, that a very diversified and modern type of educaâ€" tion is now offered, and that the purâ€" chasing power of the dollar has greatâ€" ly decreased, The latest Report of the Board of Governors states that the Provincial University is managed with the most careful and rigid economy and this statement the Report proves conclusively by the presentation of many details.
