An Knglish divine tells a good story of Sir John Steel, the famous sculptor. When he had the Duke of Wellington sitting for a statue he wanted him to look warlike. All his efforts were in vain, however, for - Wellington seemed judging by his face,' never to have heard of Waterloo or ialavera. At last Sir John lost patience somewhat, and this followed : “As I am going to make the statue of your grace, can you tell me what you were doing before, say, the battle of Salamanca ? Were you not galloping about the fields cheering on your men to deeds of valour by word and action ? ” ? Bah ! ” said the duke, in evident scorn. “If you really want to model me as I was on the morning of Salamanca then do me crawling along a ditch on my stomach, with a telescope in ray hand.

A prominent Japanese nobleman has succeeded: in abstracting from Seoul one of the most ancient and sacred of the nation’s treasures—the beautiful white marble pagoda of P’ung-duk. This exquisite example of old Corean architecture was situated in a suburb of Seoul, where it has stood for nearly a thousand years. It was stole'n by a Japanese nobleman, Viscount Tanaka, assisted by an armed force. The viscount had previously asked while at the court in Seoul last January that the pagoda should be presented to him to take back as a gift to Japan, but the King of Corea held out against the proposal. The structure was razed to the ground, the marble blocks were loaded on carts, conveyed to the nearest station, and sent by train southward. The affair remained for some time a mystery, but it is now stated that when the Kmperor of Corea refused to acquiesce in the proposal to present the P’ung-duk pagoda to Viscount Tanaka, the latter got a Corean official to give a formal permission for the removal of the shrine. Acting on this permit, the viscount ordered the pagoda to be taken down andremoved to Japan.

A pathetic trag-.dy, in which a farmer had to choose between saving the lives of his two little sons or that of his wife, has occurred at Pont, naar Le Puy, France. M. Kuhue, with his sons, aged four and six, was waiting on the bank of the Allier for his wife who had gone to a village on the opposite side of the river. When the wife, on returning, saw her husband and children waiting for her she started wading across the river instead of making a detour ‘of 500 yards and crossing by a bridge. The river was only three feet deep at the spot, but the current was strong, and suddenly M. Kuhue was horrified to see his wife swept off her feet and carried downstream. He jumped into the river to her rescue, but the two children followed their father’s example and they also were swept down stream. The agonised father had to choose and he swam for the boys. He brought the two boys to the bank in safetjq and then returned for his wife, but she had been carried into a deep pool lower down the river, and drowned. Her body was recovered half an hour later.
