ABSOLAM TAYLOR, DAVID FLOODY Penile Nile Valley. The waters of the Nile, which at- tain their greatest height in Septem- ber, commence to recede In October, leaving behind them a rich, fertile soli, which Arst appears in the form of Islands. To these the canny Egyp- tians row out at the earliest possible moment to plant melon -seeds, so that the melon -planta may mature, and fruit ripen, before the waters begin to rise again In June. One of the commonest eights in Egypt in the spring is a long string of camels rop- ed nose -to -tall, and led by a email boy; each animal bearing on its back a huge nettul of round green water- melons, White Rhinoceroses Increase. White rhinoceroses have been de- finitely saved from extinction in South Africa. As they had been hunt- ed until but a handful remained, the South African Government took spe- cial steps for their protection in the White Utnfoloel game reserve.

The real "Father• of the Set. ate," in point of service, is another man of French blood, the Hon. Posed Polder, Since 1885 he has sat on tieh red cushions, lio Is one of two sur - riving Senators --the other bean: llott. Hippolyte Montplafsh• — who ewe their appolntmenta to Sir Jobe Macdonald, Senator Polder cele- brated his 78th hlrtbdny on Februar;e 15 feet, About Poirier's appointment to thr Senate there le an Ottawa legend. Poirier, a strong Conservative, was postmaster to the House of Commove. The story gees that Sir John Mac- donald, lacing the possibility that oue of his measures would be rejected In the Upper House (the Mackenzie ad- mintstratton had resulted In his hav- ing but a precarious majority there) ono day suddenly summoned Polder from his poet ofilce, swore him into a 00)1510 vacancy, and saw him vote his measure to meccas the tety next day. Whether this story le a legend and nothing more, It Is difficult to say. In ally event the appointment proved a good one, Pottier, descended from an old Acadian family, was a (Retin- guished member of the legal profes- sion (being a member of the Bar both in New Brunswick and Quebec) and was also distluguiehed an a writ- er. He has been long connected with a number of French-Canadian liter- ary societies, and in addition to hav- ing produced a scholarly work on "L'Orlgine dee Acadlene" and "Le peeler Franco-Acadien et sea orfg- inee," he ban been an active contribu- tor to lite newspapers and reviews. Incidentally, Polrler is a Knight of the Legion at Honor. He lives in the little town of Shodlae, New Bruns- wick, by the see, BRITAIN'S COINAGE. Monetary Laws Promulgated by King Athelatan In 828. A new Great Seal of the Realm Is now being prepared, according to the annual report of Sir Robert Jackson, tiro deputy master of the Royal Mint. In his report Sir Robert reveals the interesting fact that 1926 w,.a the 1,000th anniversary of the mss 1•• mitigation of the Monetary Laws by King Athelstan at the Council of firateley in 928, but coinage opent- Uons In London, he says, were car- ried out long before that date. The total number of pieces struck In the Mint in 1928 was 228,046,024, a number which has been exceeded only in the years between 1916 and 1921, when war and post-war de - mantle for British bronze coins reached unprecedented tlgures. The average for the ten years end- ing 1927 was 220,950,115. There was no Britislh gold coinage during the year, but the coinage of siker was the largest for many years past -72,446,244, nearly three times the number in the Preceding year. Iteferring to the new alloying metal for the silver cotnage, Sir Robert gives the composition for the first time—silver 50 per cent., copper 40 per cent., nickel 5 per cont„ and zinc 6 per cent. The demand for the medal struck to commemorate the tenth anniver- sary of the Armistice, the report says, exceeded expectations. Up to leaf October 6,822 had been sold, taclud- ing four in gold. The meduls are in two elzee, and the sales comprise 1,290 large specimens and 6,532 small specimens, Hindus Generally Healthy.

At Chertsey, a village In Surrey, from September to the following March the curfew bell has been rune for centuries, says an Old Country paper. Chertsoy has interesting cur- few associations to maintain. The original curfew bell in Chertsey Ab- bey tolled for the funeral of Henry VI„ murdered lu the Tower of Lon- don and hurried to Chertsey to be buried. It figured also in the legend —once so popular with elocutionists —which tells flow Blanche Herriot to sate her lover, who ]lad been con- demned to Ole at curfew, climbed the, lower and seined the clapper of the bell, determined that "curfew shall not ring to -night."
