Fenow our owN CORRESPONDENT.
ForMurian. May 7th. The King of the Belgians has paid a sighal tribute to the citizen soldiers of "Great Britain by unveiling at Messines à monument to the London Scottish. The MARTELL & CO.ral, which stands on the crest of the famous Alumides Kaige between- Messines and Wytschaete, marks the furthest point reached by the London Scotesh during the battle of October 31st and November 1st, 1914. There is little about the "present appearance of Ridge to recall the hundred glorious fights of which it was the scene, wither" side of it -tretches a green and well-tilled country dotted with the d brick of nesely built farms and cottages.. Messines itself has risen a frin neat wil lage of red brick from the smoking ruins. of the war, and a good fint rond now runs along the saddlehack of ground for the possession of which so many gallant soldiers gave their lives during the struggle for Ypres. Kemmel Hill, stolid witness of so many scenes of tragedy and Feroism, looks now over landscape from which the forces of man and nature have almost obliterated the ugly scars of war. The London Scottish Memorial has been erected on the roadside facing the hill, and looks down upon the way by which those it commemorates advanerd.. It is in the form of a Celtic cross of Alierdeen granite set up on a mound in such fashion that, as seen from the rond, it stands clear on the skyline the most dis- tinėtive landmark of Messines Ridge THE REV.

A STRIKING CONTRAST.
The Scottish visitor to Belfast feels quite at home. He might be in another Glasgow. The business world is the sune, likewise the ways of doing things, and the general pervading spirit is just as he finds in any other go-ahead city. In Dublin there is an old-world air, a living in the past, an indifference to the present and all anggestion of activity and progress We have heard a Scotsman say that the most foreign" town be ever was in was Dublin A remarkable instance of this difference between the two cities is mentioned by a gentleman who has just returned" from a visit t Ireland. Within the last two years, be says both Belfast and Dublin have been the victims of civil war, which was mark- ed by fire-raising and murder. In Bel- fast multitudes of, factories, warehouses, shops and residences were destroyed by Atson: to-day you would have to take an hour's walk to find the faintest trace. of this, destruction. In Dublin public buildings were blown up and rows of shops and warchonses burnt down, these are all in runs at the present moment. Even in some places, s around the Four Courts, the slates aml window panes, which were broken by the force of the explosion that blew up neighbouring buildings, are still broken.

CADDIES, AND THE GAZLIC. ·
I had occasion to go over-a West Coast links the other week, where the caddies criticised their man's" play in the Gaelic. As far as I could make out, they had Gaelic words for all the shots. It is a hit disconcerting when a.caddie con- verses in foreign language. It is bid enough when you are on the hill with a ghillie und you miss an easy shot, but when you are on the golf course. and the caddie says something lika alltinguibanzuish," when you pull your drive, it makes that most difficult of games even more difficult.
Perhaps you have sometimes a similar experience in the East.
