KING'S PRIVATE
ITARY,
His Majesty has no time for the cultiva‹ tion of the statelier style of letter writing which characterised the early decades of the last pentury. But he never finishes a word. with an unintelligible syllable, and does not observe the practice of referring to people and places by their inital letters, except in family notes, when he would not hesitate to write of 'G.' or 'V.'. To his relatives in Denmark he refers to her Majesty an 'Alix'; to all others as the Queen,' only in exceptional cases as Queen Alexandra.“ There are, however, some little time- saving idiosyncrasies which were adop ted long ago, and have been per petuated. Thus a favourite form of sub- scription consists of the syncopated words,

Yrs. v. sincerely. Of course, much of the King's letter writing is delegated to Lord Knollys, his Private Secretary (says the Penny Magazine). His lordship is a re- markable combination of the old-world aristocrat and the keen and modern man of business, He is a spare man with oriep, curling white hair, surmounting a refined and thoughtful face. He has a certain pic turesque dignity and reserve about him. In his frock overcoat and silk hat he might be taken for a beau of a hundred years ago, spick and span, and bearing the marks of an inborn courtliness and grace, Those who meet Lord Knollys outside his work know him as a man immaculate in dress, precise in manner and deportment. They should see him in his room at Buckingham Palace. He sits there in shirt-sleeves, cuffs tucked up, dealing with his Majesty's correspondence and other work with a celerity and an astuteness that would do credit to the keenest man of business in
the City. The King's Secretary says little, but when he speaks he goes straight to the
Beg to thank the Members of the Navies and Armies of all Nations for their kind patronage, and have pleasure, in announcing that a Reduction of 30 per cent point. He is a master of the snub in its national H.] is shown from a Barrier, or on the fixed Prices will be made them various phases, as bores and cranks have from, a Boat in the neighbourhood of a after the 15th inst, in commemoration found to their cost.

And yet he has a steamer is liable to endanger life and pro- Japanese Army in battle after battle in porty.
Under these circumstances a steamer
should pass that neighbourhood at as slow a speed as possible.
2. When a Rod Flag is shown from a Barrier, or from a Boat in the neighbour- bood of a Barrier, it will indicate that a vessel must not, so long as that flag is flying, attempt to pass the barrier.
This latter is an emergency signal to ineet possible contingencies.

The weather conditions promise to be favour. able this time and a well-attended meeting should result. The band of the 1st Batta- lion of Sherwood Foresters will play a well-arranged programme of music, which should be an additional factor in inducing residents to attend. From a g'arce at the programme it would appear that there will bo no fault to find with the sport. Six events, including the Challenge Cup, are to be decided and a start will be made with the O. S.

On a hard dry course he would run well and probably win, but on a track that is at all heavy the last two hundred yards up a rlight incline, with 11st. 3lbs. up, would probably prove too much for the Blue and White.

Then, again, there is the further unquestionable fact that a violent- fluctuating state of the exchange acts an impediment to the smooth and Bexican trade with foreign countries has grown and flourished in a remarkable degree in spite of this drawback. When, however, we turn to the effect of the depreciation of silver on the national finan oes, no room is left for doubt as to its being injurious, the broad fact being that while the Government receives its revenue in silvor, it has large foreign obligations which it has to discharge in gold, to obtain which it has to make a heavy sacrifice by reason of the high premium it has to pay for its Friends to Share LARGE BEDROOM the national currency. What this means to the Treasury will be gathered from the fact that the sterling debt amounts to £22,000,000, which requires for its annual service, roughly, 6,000,00 dols, gold per annum, while the present value of the silver dollars is about 26d., in contrast with its par value of 48d. A few years ago when the silver dollar stood at 23d., the interest on the debt absorbed 6,900,000 dols. in gold, and 14,400,000 dols. in silver, a differ- ence to the Treasury of 7,500,000 dols. in silver, which represented the loss in ex-
