In the days when Tatter- sall's occupied a portion of the grounds of Lanesburough House, not 150 years ago, wisps of aeric: were frequently Out upon the marshy ground between Hyde; Park Corner and the Thames.

The as- semblage was, indeed, en.' of the most varied it would be possible to imagine. Rieltt•d Tattersall, the ofTattersall, th,� founder of the celebrated auction ,nrni't, could lay claim to literary connection, re- mote it must ne admitted, for was he not training groom to Lady Mary Wortley Montage's brother? Though over 140 years have passed emcee he retired from the private position of training greotu to the pui,iic, and from the more inipett:int status of proprietor of stn auction, mart destin- ed to world renown, horse selling and horse buying, like it omen nature, re- nrttiit the same. In eutte•ar't aspect the sis.einbi:ige which has gathered round the portals and within the sta- ble's of Knightsbridge during, recent London seasons, and especially dur- ing tho Creek before the Derby and Ascot race's, may •differ in some re- spects from rite promiscuous and mot- ley gathering to be seen in days gone by at Hyde Park Corner.

The coster cart alone can claim the proud. distinetieu of having survived all vicissitudes. The name of Richard. Tattersall is inseparably associated with that of the celebrated racehorse, "High- flyer," which he bought for the price of £2,600, not whoIIy out of savings, one would imagine, but to a con- siderable extent on eredit; for his reputation for integrity was beyond suspicion.

Patriotism in U. S. A. Mr. T. L. Jobb writing to the editor of The Advance trom D,;troit tells us of -a, celebration and sham battle held in that city on .Sept. 28th and 29th, The sham battle was called "The Battle of Vimy Ridge" and folder programs were issued to advertise it. Mr Jobb says there would easily be 200,000 taking part in the celebration; They used all kinds of warring implements, 2 tanks, 2 aeroplanes. The Red Cross also did their part in the mimic battle. The crowd sang the Star Spangled Banner and God Save the King while the massed bands played. The Americans are certainly a patriotic people, it a man were to utter pro -German re- marks there he would run a good chance of being lynched. Water -Saving Baths. A recently invented bathing ma- chine not only washes the body, but also gives a massage and dries the skin without the use of a towel in less time than is required by tire us- ual process. The machine takes up so Iittle space and requires so little water that it may be used in a sleep- - ing car or in any other place where space or water is limited. The body is thoroughly cleansed by a series of brushes driven et 'will at either high or low' speed. Each brush. is eight inches 'in ctlaineter with three-inch bristles. The brushes are hinged at the,top on' bell joints so as' to open' outwidefor a fat man or close in fora thin one.

Present shortage of sail cloth, which is said to threaten to hold up the Danish sailing fleet, ft was in the spring of that year, just as negotia- tions had terminated, that suddenly a rumor went round that Franbe had declined to pay her 100,000,000 francs indemnity. The truth was, as Bismarck was soon informed, Paris had no more canvas out of which to make the bags in which to deliver the money. So Bismarck Offered to send for the material from Berlin, to be made up into the requisite number of seeks in purls. The French Min- ister of Finance acquiesced, but quot- ed the law of the land by which the Banc de•lranoe must charge 75 ten- times for each bag supplied, The Chancellor said: "Very well, we will pay for every bag," The bill which Prance handed in amounted to 23,» 500 francs.

Prime Minister of New Zealand and Minister of Lands and Labor since 1912. He was not at liberty to discuss what was done and said at the session 41 the Cabinet and itt the Imperial War Conference recently in London, but he had something defi- nite to say to the New York Times about the recent speech by Dr. Solf, German Minister for the Colonies (although Germany has no such pent - sessions), who put the colonial aim at the very forefront of German war atlas, "pr, Solf was once governor of the Samoa Islands," Premier Massey oh- servod, "and we know something about him in New Zealand, It Is in- teresting to recall a remark he made 'just after this war began.

The British • Government de- clined, and the difficulty continued until Germany got possession of the Marshall, Varolina, and Mariana (or Ladroue) Islands, Samoa, and the greater part of New Guinea, de- spite the protest of Australia and New Zealand. The Samoan group is - a .rich possession, but its chief value is strategic;. as for New Guinea, it is but two days' sail from the Austra- lian coast. So long as Germany exec- ' cased' dominion over these islands thy .were the worst neighbors imagin- able. Within ten days after the out- break of the war New Zealand etart- ed her first contingent of troops to take 'possession of the Samoas. It was only 2,000 men, but it was the vanguard of those others now in con- trol of that group, New Zealand does not want territory, and did not go in- to this war with any thought of ac- quiring territory, but she is utterly opposed to the re-establishment of German authority in these islands. "It has been suggested that an in- ter -allied commission be formed to govern the German colonies, but joint control of territorial posses- sions has never proved a success. France and Great Britain have joint control now of the New Hebrides, but it is not working out well. Once Egypt was under the joint control of France and Britain, and it proved an unsuccessful pian. At one time Sa- moa was under akind of joint con- trol of the United States, Germany and Great Britain, and that was not successful either. Australian troops are now in possession of New Guinea, and Australia is more vitally inter- ested in that country than any other. New Zealand troops are in charge of the Samoas. Japanese troops are in charge of the islands north of the quator formerly controlled by Ger- many --the Marshalls, Carolinas and Marianas. I see no reason why these Governments should not teff main in control, although that is a matter to be determined at the peace table. The main point is that none of these possessions must be re- turned to Germany." Irish Counties.
