The statements com- plained of were that the Carrs were in.. financial difficulties, that her husband only lived with Mrs. Carr because he did not have to keep her, and that she was a dangerous woman to know.

May Blossom.

The May blossom is the subject of some curious superstitions. Both the black and white thorns are said to be descended from the thorn of India, which, being sprung from lightning, is not only immune from danger in a thunderstorm, but pos- sesses many magical gifts, the Morning Post tells us. The leaves from it are believed by many people. to be a cure for all cases of inflam mation, while a bough of blossom hung at the door is a safeguard against witches, but the blossom should not be taken into the house lest it bring disease with it. Many old countrymen will not cut down a hawthorn bush, they do not know why, though actually they are per- petuating an old belief that the bush is sacred, because from it the crown of thorns was made.

I am sorry to hear that the King is far from well, while his in- somnia is troubling him again, says a Glasgow paper writer. There was a passing reference in the news from Rome that His Majesty was feeling the heat very much, and was on one occasion "slightly Indisposed." The fact is, he felt the excessive heat of the Italian capital very much, while the visit was one long round of engage- ments, each treading upon the heels of the other. The Queen can stand heat and arduous engage- ments very wonderfully but the King gets tired easily. In this, he does not resemble either his royal father or grandmother. Both Queen Victoria and King Edward were Spartans for exacting duty. The late Queen never seemed to know fatigue, nor did she expect it to exist in others as on the memoral occasion when Mr. Glad- stone put in a plea for the waiting statuesque attitudes at a respectful Thar brother, tear thy vain aerialadies who were standing in distance.
