One begins to be conscious of an interesting personality, strong, capable, very much room for evidences of the sex of its occu- alert. Instinctively one looks about the pant, and finds with a certain mild sur- prise that, apart from the rase of flowers on the desk, there is nothing to distin- guish it from that of a City man. It has Turkey carpet, a few pieces of office furniture, and one or two photographs in silver frames Nor is there anything in the routine of the office that strikes one as being in the least different from what one woull find in any other well- organised and efficiently-conducted frm The City woman seems to be taken en tirely as a matter of course by everyone except the visitor, who has not quite re- covered from the surprise of seeing one of her own sex praside over that ponder. ons desk with its neatly arranged cor respondence in cage wire baskets.

BRONZE AGE SKELETON.
ISLE OF WIGHT DISCOVERY.
During excavations in a barrow on Niton Downs, Isle of Wight, by a party of local and visiting antiquarians under the direction of Mr: Gerad Danning, of Ventnor, a perfect skeleton of the early Bronze Age was found recently. It was that of a man of middle age, with a complete set of teeth and a prominent lower jaw. The body was buried on its right side,, with the knces drawn up, in a roughly-hewn shallow chalk grave. A quantity of broken pottery, evidently also of the Bronze Age, was found near by.
Last year Mr. Dunning discovered the remains of an ancient beacon base in a mound in the same locality.
