There a certain' amaunt of at- traction in the proposal. There are tens of thousands of people who enter sweepstakes-the Calcutta; for instance, and

many others--for which they get no return at all. They do it na the mere chance of a prize. The same class would be indaced in buy premium bonds, and others would as well, because even did not receive a prize their they money would not be lost, but would be invested at a small rate of in- terest,

There seems to be no end to the number of societies and associations which are launched in the interests of the general public, The latest is the Road Fellowship League, which has been brought into existence to cultivate che spirit of good fellow shin on the road.

The First Operation. "Mr. Nesfield describes how he first performed the operation.

One day," he writes,"" I found in the contonment hospital of Jub hulpore a fine old Sh of sixty five or more lying on the operat g table. He refused to move until I had operated du him, an this was his hacky day. About a month previously I hid extracted both his cataracta and he could see perfectly, so he believed that the cure of his deafovas was an easy matter. I had many times refused to operate, explaining that the eye was on the surface, and the organ of hearing hidden at the boc- tom of a long narrow canal en- bedded in the skid. It was thee discussions that finally suggested to my mind the operation.

Christmas In Prison,

Its a sign of the growth of humanitarian ideas in official circles that in recent years attempts have been made at Christmas to make the lot of prison inmates more tolerable. This year the movement is especially noticeable. Presumably as a result of the visit of the Home Secretary to convict prisons all over the country in order to see things for himself, the order went forth. a week or so ago that many of the customary rest restrictions should he modified
