of Wales to hang up over their parlour mantel pieces when they get them, together with a dress suit and patent leather boots-short sixteens, likely-for cach New Guinea chief. If we remember rightly a fifty-cent musical bax purchased in a hurry at Vokohama was thrown in along with the German suit which the head chief of the Marshal Islands received, but any how, that is only by the way. We have said the Imperial orders from Downing Street came late, and so they did-very late, when it is remembered that the Queenslanders, if not the Australians, demanded the annexation of New Guinea as far back as August 1883.
For the dilatory movements of the English Government in this direction there have been very good and excellent reasons, entirely unfeit and uncared for by the majority of the Australian colonists. Our political economists on the banks of the Thames have lang since asked each other why, by ilese constant annexations in remote parts of the world, they should saddle the nation' with such increasing responsibilities and with territories which will incur many extra anxieties and more money to protect. The country unable to adequately defend what it already possesses without expending its treasure in increasing the objectionable burden. Not so think the Queenslanders; their idea is that no other nation but the mother-country, mast hold that part of New Guinea, because it is much too close to their own territories, and in such case, a possible mistake might easily be made by, say, France or Germany in the event of possession, in laying down and sticking to their own boundaries. In glancing at a map of these regions we find that the extreme northern point of Queensland, Cape York, is fully go miles from Cape Deliverance, the nearest point, in New Guinea, which is consrqueally more than four times the distance which separates the nearest point of England from that of France, and where error of such kinds would assuredly be no more easily com. mited thin between Marseilles and Tunis, where they Arc well known to have occurred. Notwithstanding all that, we could have seen no great or particular objection to the annexation of that part of New Guinea if the Australian colonists had been a little more ready to defray the expenses of taking possession and providing for future maintenance. In this inca sure which they urged on the English Goyer ment for their own especial benefit, they showed a most remarkable and ridiculous silence when the question of cost was put to them, and finally did anything but stand up frankly and generously with the offer of contributing even a fair share ofile expense. Why Australia should not have felt herself ready to pay the piper who was to pipe for her especial benefit, or why Queensland if she omitted to do so did not first pat the question to all her continental neighbours, is not very clear, but certainly they were all for more interested than the people in the mother country thousands of miles away. The Australians are not poor, indeed, they pre passing rich; certainly much richer and better able individually to contribute to such

hands. Gloves, however, will do little to avert such perils if the much more sensitive lips have to be applied toit Can this be partly the reason why some witnessess kiss not the sacred volume but their thumbs?" The general impression amongst superstitious people is that the whole ceremony is complete and consistent, and that if they omit any part of it they are not bound by their oath. Sometimes in county courts the witness, if not forced to speak out, will merely numble something that sounds like the form of anth; while others believe that, if they kiss their thumbs only, they do not commit the sin of false witness. It is pitiful that there should be belief in the moral efficacy of such silly evasions; yet the resistance of the Birmingham lady to the removal of her glove may have been due not to any desire to escape penalties, but to sanitary reasons alone. Or does the new objection spring from the modern fashion of innumerable buttons to ladies' gloves? There was a good old time in the distant past when one button sufficed to hold the covering of a girl's hand. Tennyson's lover meets his Maud at the head of the village street, and he "saw the treasured splendour, her hand, come sliding out of her sacred glove." "She touched my hand with a smile so sweet, she made me divine Amends for a courtesy not returned." But if Maud had worn 14 button gloves the quick sliding" out of the treasured splendour" would have been impossible. She would have taken two or three minutes to unfasten them all," or left her gloves still on; and then her touch would not have thrilled her lover as he felt the momentary presence of her little hand in his own. Lucky for Tennyson that he wrote before 14 buttons were invented; or do the lovers of to-day exchange, sensations even through the barrier of kid gloves?
champions of unconventionality. Yet it has sound sense at the bottom of it. It insists upon care, it ensures freshness and cleanliness, it restrains ugly eccentricities, and it secures an outward equality for all. Nor do we believe that we surround the Sovereign, or her Parlia ment, or her Judges, with any needless cere- mony or symbolism at the present day. The world is not yet so supremely rational that we can dispense with outward demonstration of dignity and power. Instead of making our oaths less solemn, we should prefer greater impressiveness. In some countries the oath is not, as with us, gabbled over in an undertone by. a subordinate official; it is formally administered by the Judge himself, and is therefore more seriously regarded. The removal of the glove is a mark of reverence, at the altar, when a girl is confirmed, receives the sacrament, or is married, and at court when she kisses the Queen's hand, also ungloved. We, therefore, do not see why s deposition expressly involving a sacred name should not also be marked and solemnised by the removal of the glove. There is right reason and Baron Branwell's respect for the time and trouble of the wearers of 14-button gloves seems to us hardly in consonance with his usual com-

It is generally believed that the word translated "shoe should be given as "glove," and that is in fact the form of the Chalice para- phrase of the passage. The error is the more natural if we bear in mind that "handshop" was a primitive name for glove. There was another use of the glove-as a token of challenge.

Advanced schemes than the "sweated" working ceremonies still retain it. The wearing of a of the above CLUB, will be held in the classes of London or of Glasgow, who toil twelve and fourteen hours a day for the magnificent sum of all a crown. In the great island- continent of the Southern hemisphere there are probably not a hundred able-bodied men, willing. to work, who earn less than three half crowns for a Way's work of eight hours. However, the Imperial Government have now discovered, it would appear, a modus operandi, by which the work of annexing and maintaining can be conducted, and at this moment the whole of the south-east portion of New Guinea, with an aren of 86,457, square miles, is a part of the British Empire.
It is not generally known that the whole of New Guinch as far back as 1793 was taken possession of by officers of the East India Com pany, and was actually annexed by the Council in Leadenhall Street. An island in Geelvink Bay, on the north-west coast, was also occupied by Iteitish troops for a period of two years, but the climate proving unhealthy the scheme of possession was finally given up and the country forgotten by European nations for some thirty years when the Dutch in 1825 annexed a small portion of the western half of the island. The matter has again been brought to the notice of the British by the North Queenslanders who are a good deal engaged in the pearl-shell and beche-de-mer fisheries. During the years from 1842 to 1852 our cruisers were engaged on the south-cast coast, near the Torres Straits, in surveying and exploring, and in H. M. S. Rattlesnake Professor Huxley formed one of a party of scientists about that period.
In 1871 seventy-five young Australians sub- scribed the sumof 10each with which the sailing brig Alaria was purchased. She left Sydney full of light hearts, for the purpose of trading in New Guinea, but never reached within 400 miles of the island, and was wrecked during one of the short but heavy storms which are common in that locality. The narrative of this disaster is well remembered in Sydney as one of sheer Incapacity, recklessness, and murder. In 1885 the Rosita, a steamer, was chartered in order to penetrate the country by way of the Fly River, named after H.M.S. Fly, but no great results followed, owing chiefly to the opposition of the natives who it is supposed bad been badly treated by all previous explorert. Previous to this, in 1883, the Premier of Queensland, Sir Thomas Mellwraith, had formally annexed the south-east portion of the island to the Empire, but Lord Derby, at that time Secretary of State for the Colonies thought proper to disavow he act, and thus the matter fell through for that time. In 1884, on the Australian Colonies agreeing to pay £15,000 a-year towards the expenses, it was at last decided to proclaim protectorate, and on the. 6th November of that year the formal ceremony took place, chiedly in order to stop the Germans from over-running the whole of the eastern portion of the island, From protection to formal annexation: there is but one step and that step was announced the other day, in a Brisbane telegram.

lady's glove on a'knight's helmet had a similar meaning: it was a general challenge to all who dared to deny the surpassing beauty of the giver. When gloves were costly and rare they were reserved for dignitaries; Archbishops and Bishops specially wore them as signs of their rank. The Council of Poities, to repress the extravagance and pride of the inferior clergy, restricted the use of "rings, sandals, and gloves" to Bishops. Baron Bramwell, who now allows witnesses to keep their gloves on, may not be aware that formerly an English Judge was expressly prohibited from wearing gloves on the bench, and it was only in case of a maiden assies that the sheriff presented him with a pair. The old custom of removing the glove whenever any ceremony had to be gone through or work to be done originated, no doubt, in times when these coverings, were clumsy and rough. After n time, however, the removal implied homage or respect, and its retention disrespect or disregard of etiquette. It was an ancient custom in France CATHAY and Germany that if a person entered the stables of a Prince of peer without removing his gloves the grooms could claim them, and impose a fee on their redemption. We still retain this custom on occasion. No lady or gentleman is married without taking off the glove from the right hand; presentation at the Court of the sovereign exacts the same ceremony. No lover would consider the clasp of a gloved hand a valid sign of betrothal, and we see from "Maud" that twenty to thirty years ago the removal of the glove was an essential preliminary even to a passing shake of the band. The presentation of gioves is also part of a clergyman's per- quisites at weddings, and is made to all the guests at funeral receptions. The tendency of our time is certainly towards the abolition of many points of ceremony and etiquette, yet few persons probably are so indifferent to usage and symbolism as to get married in gloves and to dispense with the wedding ring. We must also remember in connection with gloves the sentimental and poetical associations which have The right hung around them for generations.

Leigh Hunt, too, has consecrated one use of the glove novel in both its forms. When King Francis sat with his Court overlooking the combat of lions, a grand dame of the period, resolved to prove her lover's devotion, dropped her glove into the pit, then "looked at him and smiled. "To leap wasR quick, return was quick, he has regained his place, and flung the glove, but not with love, right in the lady's face. Good faith, quoth Francis,
