“On© morning of the jubilee craze,” writes Lady Randolph Churchill, in the “Century Magazine,” “I pretended that I had received as an advertisement a ‘Jubilee bustle’ which would play ‘God Save tho Queen’ when the wearer sat down, This, of course, created much curiosity and laughter. Having promised to put it on, I took my hosts into my confidence, An aide-de-camp was pressed into the service, and, armed with a small musical box, was made to hide under a particular arm-chair. While the company was at luncheon I retired to don the so-called ‘Jubilee Wonder,’ and when they were all assembled I marched solemnly and slowly, sat down on the arm-chair whore the poor aide-de-camp was hiding his cramped limbs. To the delight and astonishment of everyone the National Anthem was heard gently tinkling forth. Every time I rose it stopped; every time I sat down it began again.” The violent attack which Count Okuma of Japan was reported by cable to have made on England before the Kobe Chamber _ of Commerce, suggesting an invasion of India, it now annears.was invented for him by the artists who translated his Japanese into English. Count Okuma says: —“My views on the subject of trado with India, and also my friendliness towards England, ought to be too well known for it to be necessary for me publicly to repudiate the absurd construction placed upon my. Kobo speech. I have never entertained a thought which could be stretched into such a meaning. India offers us a fine field for trade, and I urge my fellow-countrymen openly aud consistently to enter that field in fair competition with friendly England. That is all.”
