A False Bosom Conceals Diamonds,

The New York Erening -World says: On the arrival of the Hamburg-American liner Pretoria at Hoboken recently a lady passenger, on being searched by a female inspector at the Customs House, was found to have concealed in a false bosom several handfuls of diamonds, valued at a very large sum of money. It is stated that the num- ber of diamonds constitutes a record for the New York Customs House. The name of the lady, who is described as being hand- somely dressed, is not divulged, and it is understood that no proceedings wore taken against her. There is much mystery about. the affair, and it is rumoured that the culprit is a prominent society leader. She spent money freely during the voyage, and the amount of her ggage exceeded that of any other passenger.

An Educator.

War is a great educator, and our geographical knowledge of the Far East has been immensely widened by recent qvents, though it would perhaps be a little more exact if any two authorities could agree upon the correct spelling of any one place. We are learning some Russian, too. A sotnis of Cossacks' has been frequently referred to by correspondents of lato; and everybody perhaps does not know what a sotnia is It is a term, which which has a social as well as a military application, and among the Cussacks means what hundred in local government used to stand for in England. For war purposes the mounted Cossacks are organised in polks or regiments of light cavalry about 900 strong, and formed usually of six

WHAT IS BRANDY ?

At last we know what brandy is. Mr Fordham at the North North London "Police Court has delivered his considered judg ment in the case of the Islington Borough Council v. Hillyer-a cano which it took two months to argue.

It was on March 1 that an inspector of nuisances bought from a wine and spirit merchant's sp. at 446, Hornsey-road what was sold to him as a bottle of bran dy.' It was labelled fine old pale brandy.' and cost 38. On analysis it was found to contain sixty per cent. of spirit, not deriv- ed from the grape. The question to be <lickled was whether the ordinary buyer of brandy expects it to be made from the grape, and Mr Fordhamn went into the in- tricacies of the subject yesterday with zost and thoroughness.

There is no standard for brandy (he said), and before I can decide the question of whether this was brandy I must make a Standard for myself, a standard which ro presonts what brandy in this country is in the popular sense; that is, I must find what the public what the ordinary pur

Th "haser- understands brandy to be. word ie duria d'expstently from the term

Polishing Dewey's Boots.

Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manila, fter nearly shattering his reputation, first

by marrying and secondly by trying to run

or the Presidency, seems in a fair way of If the boot- becoming a hero once more. blacks of New York may be taken as trust- worthy exponents of American opinion, one tight even say that the Admiral's lapsos .re now completely forgiven, and that he is back again on his old pedestal. Last week Cousin George strolled into the Waldorf- Astoria to get his boots polished. There Was a scramble when he was recognised. Brushes, polishing cloths, blacking, and chairs were scattered during the minute or the fight lasted. Finally the knights of the brush decided to share the honours. One dusted the boots, another rubbed on he paste, Two manipulated brushes, and the her two put the finishing touches to the ecaps with the cloth. The operation took precisely one minute by the clock, there was no charge, and the gratitude of Re. Was amply vindicated.-Daily publics Chronicle.

Merciless Fire on the 'Hitachi.' The Shimonoseki correspondent of the Asahi sends to his papera narrative, furnish- ed by those of the crews of the Hitachi and Sado who have survived the transport disas ter, which shows how merciless was the Russian fire. It is stated that all the men holding responsible positions on board the Hitachi have died or are missing. A helmsman, who was at the wheel on the bridge of the Hitachi at the time of the disaster. and has survived, gives a vivid account of the last moments of Captain Campbell and other officers.

There being now no commander on the bridge, the helm was still hard a starboard, so that the steamer quickly described a circle and making straight for the Russian ship, which caused the people of the lately sunk Idzumi, who were on board the Gromoboi, to think that the Hitachi, intended to ram her. It is believed that for this reason the Russian ship fired without mercy at the Hitachi, which carried a large number of troops. This can be inferred from the fact that the Russians showed no quarter and almost exterminated all on board. The survivors

The result is unknown; the Russians appear subsequently to have made off north east.

steamers had been directed at full speed towards the shore of Chikuzen, she might have been sunk nearer the land than shu actually was, and more lives might have been saved, as many fishing smacks were about. The speed of the Hitachi could have been developed to 20 knots an hour, and it was the correct course for Captain Campbell to attempt to escape. His deter- mination and courage, the seamen think, merit the highest praise. What is to be, most regrotted is that the steamer lost her officers, who would have adjusted the belmo, and that the engines of the steamer were so speedily disabled.
