The celebrated clock erected at Doâ€" ver Castle in 1360 is still in action at South Kensington Museum, Lord Rosebery succeeds by the death of his mother, the Duchess of1 Cleveland, to a considerable fortune; Regent's Park, with 4724} acres, is the biggest of London parks. St. James' Park, with 93 acres, is the smallest. There was an increase of some 46,- 000 efficient volunteers at the end ~ of 1900, as compared with the pre- vious year.

Queen Victoria in her younger days; had quite a taste for millinery, and,-‘ what is more, was not above trim- ming her own bonnets. I Cardiff has grown more quickly than any other large British townl of late years. From 1881 to 891} its population rose from 83,000 to‘ 129,000. A title has been extinguished by the death of Lord Wantage, since no, heirs survive him. He was a great landowner in five midland counties. l Of the 8,050 guineas which Scot- land has promised to the Wesleyan Twentieth Century Fund, £6,950 has been received at the head office in London. For using smoky engines upon their railway at West Dulwich, the South-Eastern and Chatham Rail- way Company were recently fined £5 and £10 103 costs.

There was no desire to propitiate a shal- low conscience in the motive of this bequest, only a. real affection in the clerk for his master, an affection al- most like that of father for son. To make this little fortune of, apâ€" proximately, S4,750, the aged clerk had regularly laid aside half his salâ€" ary and had undertaken a great deal of very remunerative work in his spare time. The late Duke of Westminster once received a bequest from an old W0- man who was retained in his employ for many years in a humble position. The bequest only amounted to $25 and a few pence, but the grateful old creature declared before she died that the amount was what she had saved from her wages, and she wished it to go to her employer to show how much she appreciated all the kindâ€" ness she had received in the Duke's service. The Duke was greatly touched by the simple bequest and accepted it, but he took care that those to whom the little sum should have fallen were not losers by the old lady‘s manner of showing her regard for him. Perhaps the most remarkable beâ€" quest by servant to master was a small estate, valued at about $20,- 000, which was bequeathed by a re tired bank manager to the principal partner in a banking firm in France, by whom the testator had been emâ€" ployed for upwards of thirty years. Besides his will the testator left a letter addressed to the beneficiary. explaining his reasons for making the bequest, which he could not declare in the will itself without making public a very grave secret, an event The secret was that while in the beneficiary‘s ser- vice the testator had invented a sys- tem of petty peculation which he had practised, both as cashier and branch manager, without. being suspected by anyone, and over so long a period that when retirement came he was ’able to buy the little estate be- queathed and settle down comfortâ€" i ably. This state of affairs was, however, partly due to the fact that all the concerns in which he had invested his illâ€"gotten gains had turned out exceedingly well, so that at the time of making his will he found that, albeit he had run through all the money, the estate was worth a sum sdly the greatest. Officers of the Midland Railway, which has been using forty Ameri- can locomotives, admit that they are good, but say they cost more to operate than the British. In refusing to sanction the formaâ€" tion of a Scottish Volunteer Corps for Tyneside, the Secretary for War proposes as an alternative 3. new corps of Scottish Yeomanry. The King has appointed Ivan Campbell, late Cameron Highlanders, to be a member of the Corps of Gen- tlemen-at-Arms, in the place of the late Lieutenantâ€"Colonel Holbech. An interesting epoch has been marked in the history of Vickersâ€" town, the urban creation of Messrs. Vickers, Son & Maxim, in Walney Island, Barrow. The foundation of its first school was laid by Mrs. E. F. Cross. wife of the chairman of the Barrow School Board. The great County Council improve- ment in the Strand has been carried so far that the old street will not be recognized by the visitors, so great is the transformation in that part of it between Wellington street and Booksellers' How. It is a change from narrowncss and dingiâ€" ness to brightness and spaciousness. Mrs. Thompson, better known as the Scottish pianist, Anna Robena Laidlaw, who in our grandfathers' days was a. most popular artist. died in London at the age of 82. Alâ€" though born in Yorkshire. her father was a Scotsman. and she received her early training in under Robert Muller of Edinburgh. _+__._..â€". CLERKS BEQUEATH MONEY.

It is not uncommon for wealthy employers to make tostimcntnry be- quCSLs in favor of their employes, but cases where the lositions are reâ€" \'CI‘.\CtI are very rare indeed, Neverâ€" theless we have come across a few Cases of servants bequenlhing conâ€" siderable sums of money to ennloyâ€" CI‘S. in one or two cases under purâ€" ,tirularl_\' interesting circumstances. I Twentyâ€"three thousand francs was the amount in hard-earned cash beâ€" queathed by a clerk to an eminent t he t wentios ‘ equal to the aggregate of his stealâ€" ings, and, therefore, in bequéathing it free from encumbrance he felt he was doing all that could be expected of him to undo his wrong. In addiâ€" tion he left an explanation of the system by which he had been able to rob the bank, and showed how to de- ltect anyone else attempting the same thing. .___+__ A PERFECT TREASURE.

Patrick O'Mars, a private In the 0th Regulars, wont to the colonel of his regiment and asked for a two weeks' leave of absence. The colonel was a severe disciplinarian. who did not believe in extending too many privileges to his men. and did not hesitate to make use of a subterfuge in evading the granting of one. Well, said the colonel, what do you want a two weeks’ furlough for"? Patrick answered, me woife is very sick and the children are not well. and if ye didn‘t mind, she would like to have me home for a few weeks to give her a bit of assistance. The colonel eyed him for a few in' ' t . ‘4 I ' Ii. ‘ inutes and sud I itiick, I n th’lmnn grant your request, but I got a let- ter from your wife this morning say- ing that she did not want you home; that you were a nuisance, and raised a war whenever you were there. She hopes I won't let you have any more furloughs. That settles it. I suppose I can't get the furlough then? said Pat. No; I'm afraid not, Patrick. It wouldn't be well for me to do so un- der the circumstances. It was Patrick's turn now to eye the colonel, as he started for the door. Stopping suddenly, he said:â€" Colonel, can I say something to yez? Certainly, Patrick; what is it? You won't get mad, Colonel, if I say it? Certainly not. Patrick: what is it? I want to say that there are two splendid liars in this room, and I'm one of them. I was never married in my loife. WAY FBElli-IITâ€"HUTEL PROPRIETOR OF THE POPU- LAR MONTREAL HOSTELRY TALKS ABOUT DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS. .__._ Used Them Some Years Ago for a Bad Case of Kidney Weakness. â€"Recommends Them Highly to All Those Who Are Worried by any Urinary Sedinicnt. Montreal, Aug, 26.â€"~Dan W. Allan, proprietor of the Way Freight Ho- tel here, made a strong statement about the wellâ€"known remedy Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Mr. Allan’s hotel is at 463 St. James street and 'en joys considerable popularity wrth railroad men. _ Some of the latter were discussmg ailments peculiar to engineers, brakemen, firemen, conductors, train crews generally. It was ‘ac- knowledged that the greatest diffi- culty a railway man has to contend with is Kidney Trouble. The con- tinual jarring of the train weakens the filters of the system and various forms of Kidney Trouble result, “Every man that works in an enâ€" gine cab or on any part of a. rail- road train ought to use Dodd's Kidney Pills,” said one man. “Are Dodd's Kidney Pills what they’re cracked up to be, though ‘2" put in a second. “Yes, sir," returned the first em- phatically, “Dodd's Kidney Pills are what they're cracked up to be, and I’ll leave it to Mr. Allan." “Gentlemen,” said Mr. Allan,.“I firmly believe Dodd’s Kidney Pills will do everything that is claimed for them. They are a genuine mediâ€" cine, They cured me of Kidney Trouble, I know that. My urine was full of a kind of red brick dust for years. I knew it was my Kid- nevs. but could get nothing to stop it: Two boxus of Dodd's Kidney Pills did the work finally, and I’ve been all right ever since." -â€"â€"â€"+â€"â€"â€"â€"- a A STRANGE CIRCULAR. A strange circular has just been issued to signalnien on a Russian railway, forbidding them to g) asleep lying on the rails. One would hardly imagine that the temptation to do so Would prove overpowering. but it appears that the signalr; en feel they have to sleep somewhere, and they labor under the delusion that the vitrntion of an approaching train will “aken them up, a mission which it frequently fails to fulfil.

That's perfectly legal. But the, weddin' day was fixed, and they should have bin married last week, persisted the father. Oh, I see. Then he's gone back on the girl? Gone dead back on her sir. and it's a bI‘Q'JCII of promise case, if I know anything about the law. Unless he had good and reasons, you know. Ile couldn't hev had. Millie is one of the best girls in the world. No; she didn't give him no reason to flip- flop. And you didn't? Not a reason, sir. 0n the day be- fore they was to be married I sent fur Sam, and asked him to lend me sufficient $500 and take my note fur three years. He sort of choked up over it, and said he'd see about it, and that’s the last anybody has seen of him. No, sir; I never gave him no reason fur throwin' my gal over, and you bet he'll either come up to the scratch or he’ll act as a warnin’ to other fellers who don't know their own minds.
