Mr. Snowden's Native Heath.

The reception given. to the Budget has been particularly interesting to the inhabitants of the little moorland village of "Cowling, lying bigh up on one of the spurs of the Pennines (says the Morning Post.) It was there that! Mr. Philip Snowden spent his carly days, attended the village school. and ultimately made his debut as a public man on the village Council. A fortnight hence all parties will assemble to honour their native guest."

All About Women.

Mr. W. L. George is a bold man (says the Evening Standard.) He has written the history of woman, fron, as he says, "the first re- flective ape to Madame Curie," He starts out with the love-story of a lake-dwelling girl who had 'a charming profile," so we may be assured that Mr. W. L. George has not turned purely 'scientific. But why, or how, the story of woman should be told, apart from that of man from, shall we say, the first reflective ape to Professor "Einstein, it is impossible for me.

He is to be one of the two dele. gates to represent the Presbyterian Church of Canada at the forthcom jog General Assemblies in „Edinburgh. An indication of What Canadians think of Dr. Gordon is to be found in the fact that a vote of lta' readers, recently. taken by a Canadian magazine, as to the ten greatest living Canadians.

trouble was kindled at Sarajevo, the whole sky of Europe was immediately overcast.. The day came when war was on the point of being declared against France, and Russia, and Sir Edward Goschien was asked to transmit to London what he coldly described In his despatch as a strong bid " for British neutrality-the assur ance being given that France should be stripped of no more than her colonies, and that the neutrality of Belgium, guaranteed as it was

Britain, should be violated without any subsequent loss to her "if she had not sided against Germany "

It was but five years before that Sir Edward had attended the reception by the German Emperor of King Edward at the Lehrter railway terminus in Berlin.

His first appointment was as attaché to the British Ambassador in Madrid in 1870. In 1873 he became third secretary to the British I.egation in Buenos Ayres; | it was here that he met, and in the following year married, Miss Harriet Clarke, the daughter of Mr. Darius Clarke, one of the American community in that capital. In 1875 he took up a similar post in our Embassy in Paris, and 1wo

years later was transferred as second secretary to Rio de Janeiro. He was attached in 1880 to the special embassy of his brother, then the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, at Constantinople, and remained

Sir Edward was briefly in- structed to convey to the German Government a formal protest against the proposed violation of Belgian neutrality, asking for "an Immediate. reply." Later in the same day, August 4, he received a telegram embodying the British- ultimatum," which required that a satisfactory reply" should be given by midnight of that day,

The rest may best be told in the Ambassador's own words:

During the afternoon I received your further 'telegram of the same date, and, in compliance with the instructions therein contained, I again proceeded to the Imperial Foreign Office and informed the Secretary of State that unless the Imperial Government could give the assurance by twelve o'clock that night that they would proceed no further with their violation of the Belgian frontier and stop their advance. I had been instructed to demand my passports and inform the Imperial Government that his Majesty's Government would have to take all steps in their power to uphold the neutrality of Belgium and the observance of a treaty to
