THE KING'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND

London, May 15. With hardly breathing time after his foreign tour, the King started on Monday morning for Scotland, accompanied by the Queen. At Newcastle a halt was mado for five minutes to receive an address from the Mayor and Corporation,"and" Edinburgh was reached soon after six. Great pr-eparations had been made for the Royal visit, the day was brilliantly fine, and Princes stieet was gay with decorations and crowded with enthusiastic Scots, who gave their Majesties a rousing welcome. At Waverley station, the King and Queen were received by the Duke and Duchess of Bu3cleuch, Lord Rosebery, as Lord Lieutenant of the county and other dignitaries. The Lord Provost was there, with the bailies to tender accoi ding to ancient custom the keys of the city to the King on his arrival. They were at once returned with his Majesty's assurance that they could not be in better keeping. The Royal party then drove by way of Princes street out to Dalkeith House, which had been given rip to their Majesties I during their visit by the Duke of Buccleuch. One of the treasures of the hosse is the cup with which, tradition says, the sacrament was administered to Robert Bruce before the battle of j Bannockburn. On Tuesday the King aud Queen drove into Holyrood Palace. The day was gloriously fine, the streets of Edinburgh were thronged with spectators, and the welcome was of the most enthusiastic sort. There was eager popular expectation as to whether the King would wear the Scotch national dress, but to the disappointment of many he appeared in a Field Marshal's uniform. It was eighty years since a British King had held court at

Holyrood, and there was a great attendance of Scottish nobleman and gentlemen, a thousand in number, at the levee, the majority in full Highland costume. After the arrival of their Majesties the ■" first quaint ceremony was the presentation by the Royal archers—the King's bodyguard in Scotland-—of their '-reddendo," three arrows, as a token of fealty, the arrows being barbed with silver,'-and winged with peacocks' feathers. After the levee the King and Queen had a luncheon party at Holyrood, among the guests being the Moderator of the Established Church, who for the first time in history took the same rank as the Archbishop of Canterbuy in England, that is, in pi ecedence of all the nobility In the afternoon a court for the reception of ladies was held, at which 600 presentations were made. On. the morrow on the lawn of Dalkeith Palace, the King presented war medals to 400 men of the Black Watch and a squadron of the 17th Lancers and later their Majesties, after entertaining a party to lunch at Holyrood, visited St. Giles Cathedral and rounded off a full day's work by opening the newhospital. From Edinburgh the Royal couple repaired to Glasgow, where yesterday they met with a welcome which quite outvied even that tendered by Edinburgh. Their Majesties are due back in London to-night. 'Rumour says the King contemplates further excursions abroad ; indeed, there is some talk of a trip across the Atlantic, but this, I fancy, is idle gossip.—New Zealand Times Correspondent.

During the trial of a half-caste Maori at Horsham Police Court Melbourne, recently, a sensational incident took place. The accused was charged with vagrancj', and when Constable Black was giving evidence the prisoner Charles Gilbert, suddenly struck him a violent blow, breaking his nose. Accused was sentenced to six months for vagrancy, and three months for the assault. A sheep dressing competition was held at Greymouth recently, between two young men named Benyon and Lawson. Both men found numerous backers and the finish was exciting. Lawson won ; time 4 minutes 30 seconds. "Eggs is eggs" according to a current phrase, but sometimes eggs is loveletters. Quite recently a Liverpool warehouseman, unpacking some Canadian eggs came across one inscribed thus:—"Packed by Mrs Meade, a lonely widow, aged thirty, at Meade's farm, Belleview, Manitoba." Now the warehouseman was a widower of forty, and lonely also. He took the obvious course (enclosing his photograph), and within three weeks the cable flashed the word "come." He came; ;and today we are told warehouseman and widow are no longer widow and warehouseman nor lonely. A Cough is Not a Disease, but a Symptom. It indicates that the lungs and bronchial :tubes are inflamed. This inflammation often leads to pnenmonia. The surest way to ward off pneumonia is to use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on the first appearance of the cough or cold. It always cures and cures quickly. A. Manoy sells it.
