I learn that the permanent officials in the Department make no secret of their pleasure that. A.J.,” as he is called and will continue to be known as long as he lives, is back in harness again, although it bo only for a few weeks. He has always been a popular chief, with the happy kasek of getting the best out of everybody and making them feel that work was pleasure. Lord Curzon has had a break down, and has been lying on his back for | weeks. He has an absorbing passion for work, and it seems rather strange, bat it is none the less a fact, that as Foreign Minister he duets with his own hands the bulk of the cor- respondence of his Department. He alaves ed by secretaries. Lord Curzon suffers away at details that are commonly perform from the ingrained belief that is often found in very brilliant men namely, that if you want a thing done well it is necessary to do it yourself.

It is not surprising that the question is being seriously debated whether the Derby is not too crowded. But it is one thing to agree that it is, and quite another thing to suggest how things be otherwise so long as this great national festival retains its popularity. BIRTHDAY HONGUES,"
