* HIS MAIASTY AND THE MAJONI,
Another story from a French soures relates how His Majesty when some restoration was in progress in Windsor Castle, cast sway his cigar end on the terrace when about to enter the Castle. Returning unexpectedly almost im mediately the King found two reasons having hosted dispute. Inquiring the pause, he learned that the trouble was as to the ownership of the deralist eigur. The King smiled and composed the quarrel, more exo, He produced his. cigar esse, and invited each to take one.
THE KING AND CHARITION,
The London correspondent of the Manches ter Daily Despatch says:-His Majesty has decided that he will follow his late father na patron or president of the many charities with which King Edward was associated, and formal intimation of this decision will shortly be con- veyed to the charities concerned, A. Hal is now being prepared for the perusal of the King, showing exactly what charities His late Majesty patrenísad, and this, when ready, will be care fully gone through by King George and Queen Mary.
GRIM CURIOSITIES.
Mummified bonds of Bouth American Indians belonging to a tribe living on the slopes of the Andes near Quito, in Bouador, once so easily purchased, are becoming extremely scarce. The bout is shrank by some secret process known only to the natives, being thus reduced from life síza, nine or ten inches from tip of shin to top of head, to five inches. The curlons thing is that the hoan can be reduced in this fashion without destroying the features. These Leds. some of which are of great antiquity, are now almost Impossible to procurs. Their sale is for bidden by law.
KING. EDWARD'S OAK.
A remarkable story appears in s Paris con- temporary. It is said that when the late King visited Amories as Prince of Wales, he planted an oak in the Contral Park of New York. The oak tree has died, and its death synchronises the tree was declared dead inst before His Majesty 'w' lnst illness. But this is not all. It

- A FAMILY OF THIET IWO.
An amusing incident occurred it the Coom- bungeo Agricultural Show, near Brisbane, re- cently, where a prize was offered for the largest family in the district. The Queensland Minister of Agrienlbaçe was present, and remarked that the district could hardly equal his own constitu- oney, where there lived a man with twenty-four children. A farmer rose and interrupted, the Minister by remarking that he had thirty-two childron, and that all were living, Inquiries showed that this was the fact, the farmer having been married twice and having reared two quite considerable families, one after the other.
RASINDIAN SPARTANS, D
The Kallars, who dwell in the Madras Presi dency, are Asistio Spartans, sccording to a Paris contemporary. We are told they live by robbery and other means not less criminal. Their national songs celebrate their deeds of daring. They being up thoir children to endure heat and cold, and to blows they are indiferent. To obtain a pretty, bride it is necessary for the young men to have distinguished themselves by some questionable exploit. We learn further that the wives are fickle and that it is not an unusual ovcurrence for them to leave their hus, bands for others, who have distinguished them- selves by some dead of daring.

ME. PIERPORT MORGAN'S LATEST PURCHASE. Mr. Pierpont Morgan has just bought, through M, Jacques Seligmann, of Paris, eighty- six of the most wonderful little watches in the world. He paid £50,000 for them, or an aver- age of nearly £700 a watch. They formed the Mariels collection, and came to Paris from Ber- lin, the Paris correspondent of the Express states. All of them date from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. As will be remembered the first little watches were made in the six- teenth century in Nuremberg, in Paris, and in Italy. The Marfels watches are very tiny and vory beautiful. One is eggshaped, made of Limoges amamel, and is no bigger than a can- ary's egg. There only two of these in the world, and bill are in Min Pierpont Morgan's pasos. sion. Many of the watches are in the form of crosses, and can be worn as pendante. The smallest of them might be worm as a crurat pin. BEAUTY CLAD IN SNAKE-SKINS,
