THE KINGS PRIVATE SECRETARY.

His Majesty has no time for the cultivation of the statelier style of letter writing which characterised the early decades of the last century. But he never finishes a word with an unintelligible syllable, and does not observe the practice of referring to people and places by their initial letters, except in family notes, when he would not hesitate to write of 'G' or Eleventh-The grudging and bitter animosi-V. To his relatives in Denmark he refers to ty of rival contemporaries

course, much of the King's letter writing is syncopated words, Yra v. sincerely. Or delegated to Lord Knollys, his Private Secre tay (says the Penny Magazine). His lard- ship is a remarkable combination of the old- world aristocrat apd the keen and modern man of business. He is a spare man with erlap, curling white hair, surmounting a refined and thoughtful face. He has a certain pic turesque dignity and reserve about him. In his frock overcoat and silk hat he might be taken for a beau of a hundred years ago, spick coartliness and grace. Those who meet Lord and span, and bearing the mark of an inborn Knollys outside his work hnow him as a man immaculate in dress, precise in manner and deportment. They should see him in his room at Buckingham Palace. He sits there in shirtsleeves, cuffs tucked up, dealing with his Majesty's correspondence and other work with a celerity and an would do credit to the keenest man of business in the City. The King's Secre tary says little, but when he speaks he goes straight to the point. He is a master of the snub in its various phases, as bores and cranics have found to their cost. And yet he has a wonderful fund of considerate kindliness. Some little while ago a London Press man who happened to be the only one of his craft at a meeting where the King made a little speech, went to Lord Knolly's with his transcript, and

HINDU FAKIRS.

Wonderful stories are told of the powers of the Hindu fakirs. Careful attention to their certainty; but Capt. James Parker, in describ. tricks has not discovered their secret with any

ing a tour of India, gives it as his belief that hypnotism is the means by which they accom- plish their most startling illusions. One ia- cident which he describes seems to bear out

his view. The trick which is acknowledged to be the greatest of these Hindu mystic perform- ances, says Captain Parker, and the one that has been described by trustworthy persons too often to be doubted, is the one in which the fakir throws a ball of twine into the air above him, until it disappears from sight. The loose end of the string he holds in his hand, and after the boy assistant has climbed up the string until he, too, is out of sight the fakir, himself follows, with a knife between his teeth. The spectators, surprised when both boy and man climb out of sight, are horrified when the boy's severed head, arms, and legs, followed

man slides down close behind. Their astonish- ment is increased when the fakir gathers the severed members and restores the boy to life. Well, I saw the performance once, and once I didn't see it; and the latter experience was more wonderful than the other. I had some London friends visiting me, and after having left them for a few minutes on the verandah of my bungalow, I saw, as I was returning, the same fakir and his assistant whom -I had seen perform the trick, standing about forty feet in front of my friends, apparently pre- paring to begin a performance. As I was about as far behind the natives as my friends were in front of them, and had not been observed, stood quietly where I was. The man placed a drawn knife between his teeth, took the usual ball of twine in his right hand, made a motion as if throwing it into the air, and then stood perfectly quiet. My friends on the verandab were looking into the air with astonishment on their faces, which in a minute turned to a look of horror as their eyes turned back to the ground. In another minute their countenances lighted up with pleasure and they applauded roundly. They could not say enough about the wonderful performance they had seen, and they were astonished beyond measure when I told them I had seen nothing of what had so wonder fully impressed them.

If that was not hypnotism, what was it ?

4 CHITTY OUTWITTED.

An amusing scene was witnessed at Penang on the 4th Oct. in one of the main streets of the town, revealing a point, in the etiquette of casts among natives of India which is not generally known. A Chetty money-lendár, says the Straits Echo, having some time age given a loan to a low caste Hindog, proceeded to try

Lord Knotlys dashed the reporter's bopes by saying he was not present at the meeting. The Pressman was disappointed, for he feared he had made some mistakes. Come back in two hours, said Lord Knollys, taking the copy. He returned at the appointed time, and found his copy corrected in a strange hand. Lord Knollys had gone to the King himself, and his Majesty had made the correction.
