Still, as the case went a little farther, nue couli see that perhaps Mr. Hazeland's question as to the crimposition of what is known in India as the "pink peg" was justified, for the alcoholic history of the witness was a long and protracted one.

All the same a fair proportion of the domestics instances employers have been at the trouble, where a period of reflection failed to convince, to suffer the inconvenience of doing without servants till they could procnie more reason- able ones. One natural result of the trouble the Hylam man has caused over this matter is the discovery that he is not indispensable. Siamese servants are now to be found in a number of farone households, and the Indian is receiving consideration, The whole of the servants at Sunandalaya College are now Indians from Madras, the Hylans being dispensed with en bloc the other day. Nearly every day those stubborn people who refuse to register but remain to rob are being quietly relieved of their duties, and on the whole the registration of servants, like the lady, is progressing as well perhaps as can be expected.
It may be remarked, inter alia, that a little robbery has recently taken place in a Sapatoom household, and one of the childlike and bland domestics is suspected. He is not registered, and the police have therefore a rather effective- answer that they can,give when their assistance is called for.

Hence there will be more likelihood of the terants closing or screeting their windows open- ing into the cubicies. And what law can be enacted to compel a person to keep his windows open?

FRAUUS ON THE CLERGY.
THE CONFESSIONS OF A HENEVOLENT CURATE.
Trobably no section of society is more har assed by swindlers, who pretend to be in deep distress, than the clergy.
A curate al hed, to a large City church, whose duty it to administer relief to the poor and impotent in the parish, has been recording some of his experiences in the Ladies Honte Journal. More often than not the applications nade to him for relief are fraudulent.
**One morning," he says, "a man came to me with a letter wrillen on stamped paper and signed with the name of a clergyman of the church in my native town. His story, told in great embarrassment, was that he had run away from home. According to the letter his aged mother was dying with grief, and the appeal of his rector was for the man to come back at once. The minister's cheque for £1, drawn on a bank in this same town, was
enclosed with which
TO PAY RAILWAY FAKE. He was distressed and was anxious to go, but the difficulty was he had been here only five days, knew no one, and could not be identified at any bank. Would I cash the cheque?
Why should I? Well, he had been in the habit of going to church all his life, had found himself within the limits of this parish, and came to me in the hope that I might know the man who had written the letter. I looked in the church register and found, truly enough, that such a man was in charge of such a church. But when I asked some questions the story rather fell apart. I told him to come back in a couple of hours, and meantime I telegraphed inquiries to the Rev. C. The answer came, Do not know any such man!

The King was to believe it was only worth the ancunt he had fixed. The jeweler duly brought the coronel to Marlborough House. The King expressed great admiration for it and asked the, price. The jeweler replied, "Five thou sand dollars." The King thereupon ordered a check drawn, immediately, retaining the coronet?
