THIRD LADY M.P.
A CORDIAL RECEPTION,
The reception given to Mrs. Philipson (Miss Mabel Russell) on her entry to the House of Commons on June 7th, a member for Berwick-on-Tword was as cordial as ever she received before the footlights. There was a crowded attendance of members, who were keenly interested in the rumen introducing the new

"SOME GU TO CHURCH."
The author of this poem is said to have been the Rev. J. S. Bouchier, Carnarvon Training College:
Some go to church just for a walk, Some to stare and some to talk; Some go there to meet a friend, Some their idle time to spend; Some for general observation, speculation Private Sane to seek or find a

Some a courtship
Soug go there to use their
eyes,
And newest fashions criticise;
Some to show their own smart dress, Some their neighbours to assess;

Some to prien

Some to learn the latcat news, That friends at home they may amuse; Some to gossip, false and true, Safe lid within the sheltering pew; Som daughters to admire;

for bread and some for coals Some because it's thought genteel, Soine to vaunt their pious zeal; Some to show how sweet they sing, Some-how load their voices ring: Some the preacher go to hear, His style and voice to praise or jeer;. Some forgiveness to implore, Some their sine to varnish s'er; Some to sit and doze and nod." But few to kneel and worship God.
WHAT THE POLICEMAN KNOWS.
Mr. G. T. Crook, a journalist, who was formerly with the longkong Daily Press, writes in an article in the Daly Mad:
I wonder whether there are enough books in the library of the British Museum to supply all the educational nerds of the London police officer,
Before a man can hope for promotion The must pass a Civil Servies examination and obtain a first-class certificate in Eng- lish composition, arithrantic, geography, and general knowledge,
This is one of the simple little questions policemen were asked to answer at a recent examination.
A car leares a place at 11 am, and travels at fifteen miles an hour. Find to the nearest tenth of a mile how fast second car which leaves the samo place at 11,15 a.m: must, travel in order to overtake the first car nt 12.8 p.m. Having worked out this problem the policeman is then asked, to turn his atten. tion to the following:
A rectangular petrol tank in 26.5in. long and 15,5in. wide. Find to the nearest tenth of an inch to what depth it will be Alled when it holds ten gallons of petrol. A gallon is 277.3 cub. in. From your answer estimate to the nearest pint how much petrol the tank holds when filled to a depth of 3in. To those policemen who went to Eton or Harrow and Oxford or Cambridge, these questions presented no insuperable dif. ficulty, but to the others-
