The old custom of visiting the Wishing Well at Culloden, near Inverness, on the first Sun- day in May, was observed by a great crowd of people, young and old, from the capital of the Highlands and other parts of Inverness-shire. After "taking the waters" and expressing a pious wish a coin was dropped into the well by each pilgrim. When the well was cleaned out, it was found that over £21 in silver and coppers had been drop- ped into the water by partici. pants. The money will be given to Inverness charitable institu- tions.

The "Malay Mail" says:-A high authority, unconnected with the Government, tells us that, so far as anti-malarial measures are concerned, Kuala Lumpur is prob ably as well looked after as any town in the East. At the same time, there appears to be a good deal of fever about at present. Doubtless, it is "imported."
The other day at a congress of butchers it was declared that the small car. had seriously diminished the demand for joints, as so many small householders no longer stayed at home for Sunday dinners, but went off picnicking instead, but at the Baptist Union Assembly the Rev. F. C. Spurr said it was the Sunday dinner that stood in the way of fuller church attendance. Both theories can scarcely be right (says the "Evening Standard.") Mr. Spurr suggested "the use of the electric lor gas cooker" as a means of re- covering the morning service, but gas and electricity do not make dinners by themselves, neither does coal-fire cooking re quire the attendance of the entire family. There is something rather appalling in the idea of the religious life depending on gas installations,

Kew is almost overwhelming in its beauty just now, and many people who have not visited it be fore at this joyous period of the year are struck with amazed de- light at its gorgeous spring livery of pink, purple, cream, and white blossoms with which the flower- ing trees and thrubs are smother- ed. Among those who were at- tracted by its glories were Prin- cess Mary and Lord Lascelles, who walked through the gardens in the afternoon.
At the express wish of the Prince of Wales, Spanish was the language used as much as pos- sible in the Royal circle during his visit to the King and Queen of Spain (says the "Sunday Chronicle"). The Prince wanted to take full advantage of the opportunity of improving his knowledge of Spanish.
He speaks French fluently, of course, does pretty well at Italian, and has mastered enough Welsh to be able to make a speech in it.

One of the greatest pities of the present season, is that Mr. Joseph Hislop, our world-famous operatic star, is not singing at Covent Garden, says the "Daily, pamamara Mail's" gossip writer. He is at present creating somewhat of a sensation in Stockholm, where he has been making a series of ap- pearances at the Royal Opera House as Rodolphe in "Boheme" and Canio in "Pagliacci.”
"The problem of Mrs. or Miss," an American writes to me (says a "Morning Post" writer), "has long been solved in our country. We have no hesitation in giving the necessary facts to our cor- respondents, and the practice we adopt is not the awkward one of using brackets, but our women folk frankly sign Mrs. or Miss | X. Z. Smith,' and use this form for signature even on their cheques. The system has no in- convenience, and saves others a lot of trouble. Why should yoù not adopt it in the home coun- try?"
