News has reached Greenock that while her Majesty's ship. Ajax was exercising her crew in gunnery practice in the Channel on her way to the Clyde from the recent manoeuvres one of her 38-ton guns burst. It is understood that none of her crew were seriously hurt. Said mamma to Flossie, d had been lunching wit little, friend I hopfe you were very polite, Flossie; at the table, and said, I Yes, please," and 'No, thank you?"' "Well, mamma," replied Flossie, I didn't say, No, thank you because, you see, I took everything." The Commander-in-Chief has issued instructions to the effect that the employment of Volunteers to keep the ground at inllpections or public ceremonies is to be discouraged, and sanction is only to be given in exceptional cases where their. employment appears advisable or necessary. "Yes," said the old man, "my sons are very ambitious, and they are getting along well. One is the captain of a towboat, and the other is a physician, and each is trying to see which can make the most money." "Ah," said the listener, "a sort of heal 'and tow match, as it were."
_-JOTTINGS.
JOTTINGS. The album presented to the Queen by the inha- bitants ofCorweu was of oblong shape, bound in red Russia leather and mounted in 18-carat gold, the designs being carved and chased. The centre mount consisted of a Welsh antique harp sur- mounted by an imperial crown, the trings being interlaced by a riband on which was engraved "Corwen, 1889," and below this the letters V.R. and I. the whole environed by two leeks. The corner mounts consisted of the Welsh arms sur- mounted by the ancient Welsh crown within quaint ribands bearing the four mottoes: Heb Dduw heb-dditn," "Duw a digon," "Cymru ana byth," and Em Buddug The clasp was also richly carved and chased, representing an heraldic rose surmounted by an imperial crown. The album contained photographs of several interest- tl rr) I ing spots of the lovely neighbourhood, each picture being in a stink mount. There was an elaborately- illuminated froatispiece, comprising the Royal arms on one side and the Welsh arms on the other. The whole of the work was carried out by Messrs, Parkins and Gotto, of Oxford-street. ,I The memory of Carl will be fitly honoured by the establishment of the proposed Carl Rosa Scholarship. The late maestro was whole-hearted in his devotion to his art, and this form of memo- rial is certainly the one which he would himself have desired. The honour is a high one, but not too high for the man who may be said to have created English opera. I do not doubt of the successful issue of the enterprise, the preparations for which are proceeding on an extensive scale. A committee is in course of formation in London, in connection with which there will be sub-com- mittees in the chief provincial cities and towns. Subscription lists will be open in all these places, and meanwhile Mr E. C. Hoile, 16, Victoria- street, Westminister, will be happy to receive sug- gestions and offers of assistance. I hear a great deal about Colonel North's new palace at Eltham. If it will not be very artistic in the higher sense of the word, it will certainly be gorgeous, for its walls will be lined with Mexican orange, and its ceilings supported by columns of the rarest marbles. One thousand yards of scarlet brocade will line the walls, and the conservatories and ferneries will be worthy of Aladdin's Palace Colonel North is now watching the progress of his mansion towards completion, and is in the bosom of his family. On Sundays there are cheerful doings at Eitham, and Captain Carvick is much to the fore The Grand Old Man and Gay Old Lady are I keeping it up. The story of the Golden Wedding has been" continued in our next." There was an f At Home to the Hawarden tenantry the other day, when" T'Squire" acted as showman over the Castle, and passed the Golden Wedding presents in review. He made a really lovely little speech, and he actually kept the Uncrowned King Charles's head out of the memorial. The excel- I lent feeling which the Hawarden gathering proved to subsist between landlord and tenants showed that the G.O.M. is a good Home Ruler in a per- fectly legitimate sphere. I note that there was much dancing on this festive occasion. And, re- ferring to the fact that Mrs Gladstone herself led off the revels of Terpsichore, I think I am justified in my perfectly respectful epithets of the Gay Old Lady, May she live to dance at her Diamond Wedding! I Grouse disease! I have heard a good deal about it this year, and I have sympathised with my sport- ing friends in so far as their property may have been depreciated, or their sport spoiled, by the recrudescence of this mysterious disorder. But, with my nose well to the grindstone in town, my sufferings on this score have been wont to be purely sympathetic. What I have heard lately, however, has made me regard the matter from a less Platonic and more personal standpoint. Grouse disease V Yes, I know, away on the moors-bad job Why don't they burn the heather, thin out the birds, or something?" But disease on the dinner-table death in the pot! That is another pair of shoes altogether. It is high time to hang the game- dealer as well as the game. It is idle to tell me that first-class poulterers will not so much as look at a tainted carcase. My first-class restaurateur is not above reproach. Deftly disguised in con- somme or curry, or creme, masked in a fritot or sophisticated in a salmi, and the sick shall not be distinguished from the sound by the most dis- II' cerning oi diners-out. Have you seen some fine Bavarian carved oak that has been put up to auction three or four times during the last few years in London ? Well, last year it found a purchaser in Mr E. Hawley Palmer, who handed it over for the decoration of the chapel at the Hospital of St. Saviour's, Osnaburgh-street, where I have just been to see it on the recommen dation of a friend of arcbssological leanings. I never saw finer oak anywhere, and strongly recom- mend you, my friend, next time you are in the Regent's Park district, and have half-an-hour to spare, to go and examine it for yourself. It was carved for the (now dismantled) monastery of Bexheim by two Carthusian monks during the years 1600-51. The work must have taken the best part of their lives, and is said to have been performedi n silence. The stalls and door taken from Bexheim so long ago as 1803 have been adapted to the little chapel at St. Saviour's by Mr Titchfield, and furnish stalls, screen, si tar, and reredos, besides panelling and a small altar for a side chapel. Full length figures of the Apostles stand above each stall, and small figtirc-, of founders of religious orders fill the niches behind the seats. Four beautiful figures, representing Aaron, Eleazar, Moses, and David, have been placed on pedestals on the floor of the chapel, as there was not space for them to bear the Apostles company, as they did originally. Two curious figures of the carvers form finials to the end seats next the door, ♦bice last is very fine, and is still adorned by the old lock and hinges of beaten iron and brass. Three angels that used to stand above it are now on the top of the screen, on each side of which i, a tall figure of a Cherub covering himself with his win^s. 'i'Utse, L lancy, are almost unique.

ILLEGAL FISHING NEAR CARDIGAN.
ILLEGAL FISHING NEAR CARDIGAN. At the monthly petty sessions for the Lower Hundred of Troedyraur, held at the Shire-hall, Cardigan, on Tuesday, Samuel Jones, David Williams, Benjamin Richards, and John Morris, all fishermen of Abeicych, were charged by John Thomas, water bailiff, with illegally fishing for salmon in the River Tivy during the weekly close time, on the 12th of August last. The Bench, considering the charges proved, fined the defendants as follows:—Benjamin Richards, against whom there were three previous convictions for illegal fishing, C5 10s. and costs; John Morris, two previous convictions, jE5 10s. and costs; Samuel Jones, one previous conviction, jE2 10s. and costs and David Williams, first offence, 10s. and costs. Time was given to pay in each case.
THE OLDEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
THE OLDEST MAN IN THE WORLD. The oldest man in the civilised world, it may be said with reasonable safety, is Nagy Ferencz, a peasant in Bares, Hungary. He was born in Hedrahely 121 years ago. He passed his boyhood on the little farm of his parents. He was not an especially robust child. He could not haul and split wood, pitch hay, and tame colts, as could his three strapping brothers, who died half a century ago. His father regarded him with disfavour, because he was too weak to do more than a peasant woman's work, and not earn enough to pay for his food. At the age of nineteen, however, Nagy suddenly developed into a phenomenally muscular man. Just 100 years ago last May he fell in love with the daughter of an innkeeper. She promised to marry him on July 31, 1789. Two days before the marriage day she jilted him for his best friend. Since then Nagy has been a woman-hater.

THE POPE AT Homil.-At one o'clock the Pope usually dines, although when he has a longsuccession of audiences dinner is often put back to two, and sometimes even to three o'clock. The simple meal consists of soup, roast, and dessert. The Pope never touches either pastry or cheese, and holds boiled meat of all kinds in detestation. At dinner he drinks a glass or two of old Bordeaux, which is the only wine for which he cares; and as the etiquette of the Vatican requires that the Sovereign Poutiff should always dine alone, Lt amuses himself by reading the newspapers. When the Pope wishes to do special honour to some foreign royalty or other distinguished personage, he invites them to his breakfast of coffee and rolls after early mass. To this honour only Roman Catholics are admitted, since it is an essential preliminary that the guest should have attended the Pope's mass and received the Communion from his hands. Even then the guest, however high may be his rank, never sits at the same table with the Bishop of Rome, a small table being placed for him adjoining that of his host. After dinner the Pope takes au hour's nap in an arm-chair and then, if the weather be fine, he has a walk in the Vatican gardens, usually accom- panied by his chamberlain and by the lieutenant of the Noble Guard who happens to be on duty for the day. The Pope takes great interest in gardening, and often astonishes the head gardener with the extent of his botanical lore. After his return from the garden, Pope Leo gives further audiences or works with his secretaries, as occasion may require, and at six o'clock he takes a bowl of soup and a glass of Bordeaux. From eight to ten there are yet further audiences, save when the Pontiff shuts himself up in his room to prepare the morrow's work. At ten, by way of evening prayers, he says the Rosary, and half an hour later he sups on the remains of dinner. So abstemious are the Pope's habits that it is not difficult to believe the statement that the expenses of his table are less than E10 a month. At eleven he retires, but not always to sleep. His Holiness suffers from insomnia, which he endeavours to chase away by mentally composing the elegant and polished Latin and Italian verses which have earned for him some right to be con- sidered a poet. THE GREATNESS OF LONDON. — Every four minutes marks a birth. In the next two hours after you read this, thirty babies will have been born and twenty deaths will have taken place. Think of it; the evening paper that records the births and deaths of the preceding twenty-four hours must give three hundred separate items. Verily its joys and sorrows are a multitude. London has seven thousand miles of streets—and If you walked them at the rate of twenty miles a day, you would have to walk almost a year—and. more than a year by nearly fifty days if you should rest on Sundays. And if you were a thirsty sort of a traveller, and couldn't pass a public-house, don't be alarmed—the seven thousand miles have five and seventy miles of public-houses so you need not think of thirst. In a year London folks swallow down five hundred thousand oxen, two million sheep, two hundred thousand calves, three hundred thousand swine, eight million head of fowls, five hundred million pounds of fish, five hundred million oysters, two hundred million obsters-is that enough to figure on ? If not, there are some million tons of canned provisisons; no end of fruit and vegetables, and fifty million bushels of wheat. But how do they wash all this food down, you might feel glad to know. It takes two hundred million quarts of beer. But more than this, they drink ten million quarts of rum, and fifty million quarts of wine-the wine, the rum, the beer-two hundred and sixty million quarts.

Th^Njpere riding~together in the moonlight, and he was trying hard to think of something pleasant to say. All of a sudden she gave. a slight shiver. Are you cold, Miss Hattie ?" he asked, anxiously. "I will put my coat around you, if you like." "Well, yes," she said, shyly, with another little shiver. I am a little cold, I confess. But you needn't put your coat around me; one of the sleeves will do." "There are three points in the case, may it please your honour," said the defendant's counsel. "In the first place, we contend that the kettle was cracked when we borrowed it secondly, that it was whole when we returned it; and, thirdly, that we never had u."
