'MOULDY COPPERS.
There seems to be no doubt that the phrase" mouldy coppers," which London gamins have abbreviated to "mouldies," had its origin in the days when coppers were really cop pers and not bronze spins as they are to-days
Before the early sixties, when the cld copper coinage was called in, these heavy coins were not popular, and people had a habit of putting them anywhere but in their pocket. A little neglect soon discoloured them and they collected a kind of verdi- gris, which drew down upon them the epithet of "mouldy.".
A BURMESE CHOIR.
Even musically, the war will long leave its mark in far corners of the Empire. An enthusiastic Welsh corporal, finding himself in company with a squad of Burmese, in garrison. took the trouble to learn some of their strange melodies and set them to orthodox music.
Then he prevailed upon the Buriese to form a choir, taught them to sing parts, and recently held a kind of Eisteddfod, at which they sang his versions of their native songs, both in the vernacular and in English with a strong Welsh accent

FOOTBALL RIOT.
There was a riot, at a football match at Cliftonville, Belfast, on March 8.
The match was the semi-final öf the Irish Cup competition, between Glentoran and Belfast Celtic. To-
wards the end of the game Glentoran. were leading by two goals. Then the supporters of the losing club, singing Irish Republican songs, broke on to the field.
They threw stones and bottles at the referee, the Glentoran playera, the police and officials, smashed to matchwood the seats allotted to wounded scidiera, kicked and beat the players; and theu smashed the pavilion windows.
The game had to be abandoned, and afterwards the crowd marched through the city behaving in a dis orderly manner. There were 15,000 persons present at the match...
