JOTTINGS & GLEANINGS. THE SONG OF A CELT- I am a patriot, Know me for such Love I my native land ? Yea, I love much. Honour her mighty men, Honour her laws; Hate I her bitter fall, Grieve for the cause. Not cosmopolitan, It covers death Love I my native land While I have breath. Thou art my native land, Cambria to thee Turn all my sweetest thoughts Ever to be. Rich in reflection, For thou fillest all, Since unto thy spirit My spirit doth call. Isobel Langford. THE YOUNGEST KING IN THE WORLD. In an article illustrated with new portraits, on Rulers' Religions," a writer in The Quiver for January says: I suppose the youngest king in the world is Daudi Cwa, Kingiof Uganda. He is beiBg educated by two of the pupil teachers of the Church Missionary Society at Mengo. His spiritual instructor is Ham Mukasa, who visited England four years ago. Every day King Daudi Cwa does his lessons, and is specially fond of writing. He began learning when he was five years old, and sent Mr. C. W. Hattersley this letter in his own language How are you, sir, my friend? lam writing this letter to you to. salute you, if you have reached home safely! And also to show yoa what my, handwriting is like, which I am able to write nowadays. Well I now, good-bye. May God take care of you always. I am your great friend who loves you much in Jesus Christ.—" DAUDI CWA KABAKA. A WOMAN ON WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE. Snpposing the franchise was considerably ex tended, and admitted not only women's suffragi to the head of a house, but to all—why, thei there would scarcely be a dozen women ii England who did not use their vote: while J suspect, if we knew how many votes are unused, we should be surprised. No, if woman had it she would, undoubtedly, use her right. But here cornea the debatable point-how would she Y .j; F° not know, and I dare not guess. oula it be to please a father, husband, or tneod, to further a brothers's career; to spite a neighbours wife or even, alas, merely to assist the cause of the most handsome candidate whose portrait appears in an illustrated paper. But why be cynical-or, if so, why not be cynical all round. Do men always vote from a pure sense of duty; do they never think of personal advantages ? I came across two people lately talking polities in a» omnibus. What do you think of Tariff Reform?" questioned one "I don't fancy," replied the other, guardedly, that it could affect me either way." So he was free to think; not so the other-he. was tied by his business profits. And these were LADY PHYLLIS" ia The Bystander. PEOPLE WHO ARE UNAFFECTED BY POLITICS. In the midst of all the election tumult, the citizen who takes no interest in politics keeps on his way, unruffled and perfectly contented. The children go to the pantomime, and take their parents with them • the shopping aad the bar- gaining continue as usnal and the concerts attract their customary audieaces. I met a young lady last week who asked me, What is all this fuss about an election ? Pretty soul. It possessed no interest for her, although she knew the price every bonnet in Peter Robin- son's window. This capacity for abstraction from the stirrieg events of the hour is quite English, and reflects the cosmopolitan taste of the Britisher. Your musical enthusiast would not lose somebody's symphony for the finest speech the greatest politician ever made, and the apheaval of our social system does not pertarb the gentleman to whom bridge or baccarat is the sole end of human joy, 1 am pleased to h«ar that the dislocation of business caused by the election is less than was anticipated. But the Unionists, remembsring tsaturday's polliiags, are convinced that the 13th was as unlucky a day as ever it was.—T. MCDONALD RENBLE in London Opinion and To-Day. RE-ARMING RUSSIAN CAVALRY. "The Russian Military Council have," says the Daily Telegraph of Friday last, decided to arm a portion of the Imperial Cavalry with a new automatic quick-firing rifle. As a first step, they have ordered 2,000 of the Automatic Rexter Rifles, a weapon which, while it weighs but 20 lbs. ean be carried and fired by oue man, yet is capable of discharging 600 shots a minute. The obiect of course, is greatly to augment the vol- ume of rifle fire which a small body of mounted troopers or a cavalry force can instantly bring to bear to carry a point, or to cling tenaciously to some valuable position, whilst the infantry and euns are on their way to the front. It is stated that several European and American States are experimenting with the rifle in question, with infantrv as well as with cavalry, and three of the Rexers are now under trial by our own War Office at H.the." The Rexer Arms Co., T trl was formed in April last under excellent dfre'etio, 4?th > capital of £ 106,000- £ 100,0w of which are in £ 1- Ordinary Shares. As a result of contracts pending with the various Govern- ing the Company have found it necessity to ^ganize large works at WiUesden, and acme activity may be looked for m the shares of the Company now quoted at 1J. An interim divid- end of 10 per cent, was recently paid and further dividends practically assured. MISS MARIE CORELLI AND THE CLERGY. Under the title, "The Right. and the Wrong of it, Miss Maria Carelli contribute. a remarka- ble 'paper to the January number of CasseWs Magazine. Her attack en the clergy, and in- cidentally the late Sir Henry Irving, are particularly interesting. To ally ones self on the aide of things good and true and beautiful, mav seem to the frivlous and conventional eJass the merest nonsense, the freak of an abnormal imagination; but, as we see in the pliin facts of the universe that the good, the beautiful, and the true are alone permitted to last, while the bad, the repellent, and false things of life are swept away remorselessly as rubbish not worth the storing or the remembering, we may console our- selves with the certainty that if we bind ourselves to the eternal verities, we shall become an eanally eternal part of them. Perhaps one of the darkest omens of the time is the wicked cant t of a large number of the clergy, who, by thei worldliuess, iaeffciency, and gross neglcot ol crying scandals, are bringing religion into con. tempt. On every side the impudent affronts ol clerics to the Almighty Power whom they pro- fess to serve, furnish forth a perpetual chronicle of open blasphemy. One day we read of the pompous burial in Westminster Abbey of the cremated remains of Henry Irving, whose morals the Dean never questioned, though he might very well have done so, had he given a thought to the deceased actor's wife on another we hear of a poor girl's body denied the last rites in a country churchyard, because she was not not a communicant, by a miserable martinet of a parish priest, who, so far as hili H Christianity was concerned, should have been unfrocked for his brutality. Was Henry I rving a "communicant"? Bishops regret" these things ia civil notes written to the complainants by their secretaries, but they do nothing active or manly to put the wrongs right. One almost longs for the grim Cromwellian period, when the power ef the Lord was believed to inspire and uphold His servants. Nowadays the power of the Lord a is a discredited factor-especially when admitted scientists like Sir Oliver Lodge only "glimpse" at the forces of Good and Evil, and publicly state the fact of their •' glimpsing for the consolatioa and encouragement of weak-minded persons whoo are only too ready to cry: "Evil, be than my Good." —.+

"Therefore mf strongest." \1 c 49 r-) 2-l L^ ^oirI eag——MP HOW TO MAKVi SUR12 OF FUkE COCOA. No cocoa is pure which contains substances not naturally present in the Cocoa Dean. Many of the so-called cocoas now on sale are merely cocoa preparations, containing additions of such things as skimmed milk, starch, sugar, hoy»s, etc., which lessen the ol cocoa, and therefore give an inferior beverage. To make sure ol obtaining pure cocoa, ask for and see that you get Cadbury's." Coeoe. isstrmgest when pure, and in its natural state contains all the elements necessary lor physical well being. Cadbury's cocoa is abso- lutely pure, and contains no added ingredients whatever. There is no cocoa so easy af cigestion and assimilation as Cadbury's cocoa.

« Although the Vinolia Co. Ltd., soapmakers to the King, are better known in regard to their Vinolia. Toilet Soaps, they are also manufacturers of a very exaelleat household soap, which is put up in attractive eartons under the title "V.H.S." (Vinolia. Household Seap). The quality of this soap leaves nothing to be,, desired, and as it has all the caustic taken out by & special process, it should commend itself to those housewives who find the ordinary run of household soaps harmful to the clothes, and redden the skin. It has also less rosin in it than many, rendering it most economical in use. In order to still more popularise "V.H.S. the Vinolia Co. Ltd., have organised a very liberal gift scheme in connection with it, where- by numerous valuable articles for the home. and other useful and fancy goods, are offered in exchange) for "V.H.S." wrappers, and notify that they are pre- pared to spend as much as il,000,000 in these gifts. A leaflet giving full particulars of the scheme can ba obtained by addressing them at Maiden Crescent, London, N.W.

THE AKT OF ADVERTISIXC.—A 'Jerman journalist has recently been devoting himself to a special form of study which one may style the psychology of advert- isment." He finds, as the result of his labours, that an advertisement should appear at least ten times in about the same place in a paper. At the first insertion the reader doesn't see it; at the second he sees it, bat does not read it; at the third he reads it; let the fourth he finds oat the price of the article at the fifth he notes the address; at the sixth he speaks, of it to his wife at the seventh he determines to 0., it; at the eighth he buys it; at the ninth he speaks of it to his friends; at the tenth his friends tell their wives about it. Then comes nsultiplioation, and the result may be left to the imagination.
