Surgeon-Lieutenant Gould, of the Indian Medical Service, writing to the British Medical Journal on the subject of his experience of Chitral, observes" There can be Bttle doubt that from the humanitarian point of view the Les-Metford rifle is a perfect weapon." Instead of creating nasty fractures and camminating the bone it "appens only to drill the hone and slightly splinter the edges." The learned dopter's remarks are thoronghly upheld by the report of our offioore and mes from the froirt, but it would be interesting to know whether ke writes ng an arm-chaic faunanitarian or as a Tommy who, having fired half-a-doso rounds at his fog, finds the Bangs coming on as briskly
as ever.

The Daily Telegraph desorities the holiday of | two hospital nurses. They hired a cottage in the country and an old woman to attend an them, From the moment they entered the door until the time for departure enne Eney ware never soon, and the villagers nulurally concluded that there was some mystery con nooted with thom. Some oven thought of con- salting the polico on the subject. On their way back to the railway station they called on the loar to give him a trifle for his charities and explain the secret. They were Leapital nurses, and had spont their whole time in bod. Acis.. tomed to sleep in such snatches as they could, get their notion of a holiday was a period of long and undisturbedisposo,
In connection with the Church of St. Raphael, London, where the nerdiage of the Duke of Aceta and Princess Hélène of Orléans took place, there, is a story', told by the Satus=" day Review. It was built with the moneys of a converted Jew named Raphaol. Just after the building was completed Hephas had a dream that he would die within a week after the consecration of the place of worship. An B matter of cobre, bo andavoured, to doing the consecration by fair and unfair mens until priest, with the help of a licensed victualler from the neighbourhood, who procured a bottle of absolutely páre wine, consecrated the edifico, Then he told Raphnel, who took to his bad and diod three days afterwards.
A correspondent writes to the Cin, and Military Gazette I was at Mingga with the Hurmab Field Force, and remember an epi- demic of toothache attacked Gomeral Low's stáťž. thero in a munnor similar to that folt. in 80 dolorous a manner by our Chitral warrione. But in the former campaign we attributed our pains to the adamant nature of the Commia sariat ration bisouit, which cansoỡ” ua tó -nhoŇ. our gold stoppinge more freely than our blood. The biscuits were supposed to by bullet proof at 500 gurds and the muscular strength which they lout to our jams was marvellous.

La recommending: that the expenditure on certain goads in the Wynand District should be reduced, tho Executive Engineer, West Coast Division, Madras, tells a sorrowfni tals of ¿peny, The gold mining companies, howeites, "fallet uno, after smother, and I do not, thinki that there is a single one in existence now the Wynand." The primary object, therefore, with whish Government undertook the improv ments to these rounds-vix,, to enable the gold mining companies to get their houry machinery on font-whooted vehicles from the nonst to the Wynnad, no longer exists. With regard to the coffee industry, again, he says:-" I believe that any estates have been abandoned, nail that the traffic along these roada ia small and hight compared with that saticipated when the in- provements to those ronds were commenced."
There are, it seems, nearly 30,000 Russian and Polos settled in Great Britain, of whom something like half inhabit the East end of London, hilo 5,000 have taken up their abede in Manchester, and a like number in Leeds, But the total foreign elemout of the British population mounts up to a quarter of a million. According to a paper on this subject in Chuchers Journat, hand upon inquiries instituted by the Board of Trade, these stranges are not the un mitigated evil they are represented to be. During the earlier years of their residense they rocopt-lew wages and fall into the hands of the sweaters; but this is a transitory condition of affairs, out of which they enrge, as soon as they begin to "fool their fest," and, in the boot and ahoe trads, for example, they here "orated new branches or taken away trade from foreign conntries."

A curioua inziens courred at Ascot. Whilo a large number of luncheon partion wore enjoy. ing the delights of an open-air repast in the garden behind the grand stand, a grant swarm of boss settled down on the gists around a table in a corpor. They buzzed, and barzed everywhere.
