Tho Bulletin stitss :—Tbo world is familiar with the Dory of the gifs by Rhodes to B ldyard K pltog of the Woolprek, a cottage on tire Grooto Sobuur Enato, G-jpusowi’. It now transpires that

tha Rhodes tru-’ecs are not eo o rt.iin about tho gift as Kipling is, Kipling end Rhodes wore tho only parties prerens, and Rhodes wa3 an absent-minded beggar. Ho fo.-goi to transfer the propeity by deed, and the land now stands in the mmi of the trustees, and Kiplmg is without any title beyond bis voluble assertion. K'pling is orying bitterly for the property, and Rhodes’ trustees don’s oast any doubt on his statement?, or anything like that, but they don’t see their way to part with anything on the Jingo poei’s bare word, If Kipling won’t let go, the world may yet see a bard hanging on to ibo doorpost with both hands, whilo tho trustees try to drag him off by tho feet, Thou Kipling's opinion of Rhodes will slump.

In one of the largest of Queensland shearing camps this season was a popular rouse-about named Bob Smith. Ho could hardly speak a sentence in English, had a fearful German accent, and wore goldrimmed glasses and a scholastic appoarancs; but he was absolutely free of any taint of “boiled dog.” He was a beggar for work, and round the camp fire at night was tho life and soul of the evening. The “chaps” used to insist on him singing, and although Bob declared he had never warbled in his life before, he rolled forth German student songs with a fearful guttural fervor, and the chaps hummed what seemed to be the chorus. They wanted him to join tho union, but Hubert had a curious objection to signing anything; lie squared matters over by undcrtakmgtoo pass his cheque, unbroken, over to the Union funds when tho camp cut out. “Bob Smith” is Dr Bober; Schaehner, of Heidelberg University, who is out here collecting information as to tho tendencies of Australian Socialistic legislation, Incidentally, he is also collecting material on which to write ot the religious, artistic, literary, and dramatic conditions of the continent. Tiro doctor says the Queensland shearers arc the finest body of men lie has yet met, and that they are iftc ahead of tho wcrking men of any European nation, physically, intel-

lectually, and morally. Of ouc town workers ho his not anything liko so good an opinion; ha bases it on prsciionl osporiouoo gained wbilo working booib weeks.in a factory. Ha says he has She poorest Expectations of our intellectual development. Ttio lack of public leemres of an eduoatiend nature struck him as amazing. Oi our poets, ho pronounceDaley tbe brst by far, and ' declares that the recendy-dead genius stands far away from the others, and bears eon3iderbb,e resemblance to hia beloved Heine. Next to Daley ho plaoes Boderic Qainn.
