JOTTINGS <e GLEAXINGS. A TEMPERANCE WAVE. Dining at a popular restaurant on the boule- vards (says the Paris correspondent Jof The By- stunder), I was struck with the small quantity of liquid consumed during the meal. At the five tables within eye-reach there was not a single bottle of wine nor beer, and the water-bottles Were full. Among the eighteen people there was one half-bottle of St. Galmier ordered, for a child of ten. Parisians are taking their aperitifs as usual; their coffee after luncheon and an Occasional bock during the evening but they are not drinking with their food.

THE CHEERFULNESS OF THE CHURCHMAN. tl Merry and bright," somehow or other, seems to be the motto of the advanced Churchman of to-day. Certainly it takes a professional story- teller to teli a good tale as well as a parson. treneially, too, it is noticeable that the "higher" the parson the better the tale, especially when it is one humorously against the Cloth. An as- semblage of clerics to-day is also by no means easy to shock. In days not long gone by, how- ever, it was the easiest thing in the world to bring the blush of sham3 and confusion to the priestly brow.—The Bystander.

WORK FOR 500 MEN LONDON NEWSPAPER GUARANTEES EMPLOYMENT FOR EMIGRANTS TO AUSTRALIA. Intending emigrants to Australia are now guaranteed work by the Government of New oouth Wales, a new departure in Australian emigration. The necessity for such a step was proposed by an English newspaper— The British- Australasian-which pointed out that without a certainty of employment at the other end few British emigrants could be persuaded to make the journey of 12,000 miles, while the attractive fields of America lay so much closer at hand. To enforce its contentions the paper offered to obtain 500 suitable colonists for Australia. if work were guaranteed for them. This offer has been accepted by the Government of New South Wales, which states that owing to the shortage of skilled agricultural labour it can now guarantee for 500 agriculturists work at the current rate of wages, which, we understand, varies^ from 15s. to 20s. per week, and all found, -•■he Government also provides assisted passages to Australia on a liberal scale. Further particu- lars may be obtained by writing to the Editor, British-Australasian, 1, Broad-street-place, London, E.C.

WELSH MEDIEVAL LAW. A work of great interest to Welshmen is to appear shortly, and is likely to prove the most Y, V^Portant Welsh book of the season. It is now ln course of publication at the Clarendon Press, Oxford, who are going to issue it in their select list. The book is entitled, Welsh Mediaeval Law," and will contain a diplomatic re-produc- tion of a manuscript of elsh law written in the thirteenth century, and now preserved in the British Museum. There will also be an English translation, introduction, glossary, complete index and a map 1 he work in question is by the Key A. Wade-Evans, of Jesus College, AT °w j°yn liaverfordwest Grammar School. Mr. Wade-Evans has already established a repu- tation amongst Welsh literati as a serious con- tributor to the history of Wales. In the pages Ot the Celtic Revieiv, the Cymmrodor, and the I1rdll:dogia Cambrensis he has led a spirited attack on what may be called the anti-Welsh school of English historians, including such great names as Edward Freeman and John Richard Green, and in three articles he has striven to express in exact terms some of the leading problems which now beset our life as a nation. Mr. Wade-Evans is a London Curate, and the youngest son of Captain Titus Evans, of Ty Rhos, Fishguard.- Western Mail.

0"" GAMBLING IN AUSTRALIA. For years strenuous efforts have been made to rid Australia of the Totalisator, in the particular form known as "Tattersall's." This huge gambling machine and agency, established in Sydney by a man Adams, now deceased, was expelled thence by the Government of New South Wales, only to find a home in Hobart, Tasmania, where it flourishes still. Legislative enactments by the Federal Parliament have been aimed at it, and it is illegal to carry mails for it, through the post-offices of the Common- wealth, but all to no purpose. The letters enclosing money to be invested in the machine are forwarded by carrier, by the numberless agents at work for it all [over Australia; but the real difficulty in dealing with it is that the Tasmanian Government licenses it for the sake of revenue. Last year the huge sum of £1,800,000 was invested in the thing, of which the Government's proportion was £ 60,000. A year or so ago, also, when Adams died, he left an interest in it to several prominent politicians, two of them knights so that under such patron- age it is harder than ever to deal with. In Victoria the gambling evil has assumed possibly greater proportions, through another "tote," established at Collingwood, a suburb of Melbourne, by a man named Wren, who be- ginning in a small way, has long held the law (such as it is) at defiance, and is now recognised as one of the wealthiest men in the city, where his central club is. It is a fact that the Colling- wood establishment is fortified almost like a castle, with attendants in disguise, and as he has now bought all the surrounding property, the police could only raid the place by coming down upon it in a flying machine. Public attention has [centralised round thii man and his clubs, Arid popular opinion has at last been roused. Feeling runs high, for the ruin that is being done to young manhood in a community like this is felt very acutely indeed. A remarkable crusade is at present being carried on, the central figure of which is Mr. W. H. Judkins, the editor of the Australian Review of Reviews. The programme is to address a meeting in every suburb and con' centrate the attention of the country on the evil. -From The Sunday\at Home. ♦

TO CORRESPONDENTS, &c. To ensure insertion, letters should be in hand not later than Tuesday. WRITE on note or ordinary size letter paper, and only on one side. Foolscap and other large-sized papers are objectionable. ADVERTISEMENTS received up to noon on Thursday. ADVERTISER Pile may be consulted at a charge of 2s. 6d. Old Copies of ADVERTISER 2s. 6d. each. WHEN a local event is a week old, a report of it is of little interest to anyone but the reporter. Better half-a-dozen lines the following morning than a column after the lapse of many days._ Will corres- pondents kindly bear these two facts in mind.

HUGHES, 49, RUNCORN KOAD, [158521 BIRMINGHAM. THE ART OF ADVERTISING.—A German 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, but does not read it; at the third he reads it; at the fourth he finds out the price of the article advertised; at the fifth he notes the address; at the sixth he speaks of it to his wife at the seventh he determines to buy it: at the eighth he buys it; at the nmth he speaks of it to his friends; at the tenth his friends tell their wives about it. Then comes multiplication, and the result may be left to the imagination. NO PRELIMINARY FEES. MONEY LENT PRIVATELY In Large or Small Sums (not less than £ 10) ON BORROWERS' OWN PROMISSORY NOTE.
