CARRIER PIGEONS IN ENGLAND.

"They have been under the same
roof before," said her ladyship.
"Yes; but that was a bigger roof
and they were not upon company

"Mr. Nestorius is always charming.
Whom else have you asked ?".
"Captain Vavasour, the society

"Perhaps she writes his books."

It was nearly a week since the ar
mat of the visitors, and Stella. had
enjoyed more liberty during that en-
terve1 than she bad known since she
became her lattyship's reader. She
had only heen called upon to write
a foe letters in the morning, and to
read to Lady Lashraar after ten
tecloek in the evening. She was not
a person who required much sleep,
and she was about in the dewy park
long before the castle breakfast
time, and semetinaes spent an hour
wtth Mr. Verner before breakfast.
It was on one of these early visits
that she was surprise.d by the en-
trance.. of a stranger, who came un-
announced into the cottage parlor
while she was reading Aeschylus to
her tutor.
The visitor was no less a person
than Mr. Nestorius, who had un-
earthed Gabriel Verner the day after
his arrival at the castle, and in
whom the old man had welcomed au
honored pupil in the long ago days
of his uneversity career.
"So you. are still at the old, work,
Verner!" he said, "and with a very
promising pupil. Will you present
me?"
"My dear, this LS Mr. Nestorius. You
have heard me talk about Mr. Nes-
terms."
Stella, bowed, blushing deeply: She
closed her book, rose hastily and took
up the neat little bla.ok straw hat
which was her invariable heedgear.
"I hope I have not scared you
away," said Nestorius.
"No, sir; it is time for me to go back
to the castle."
"Nonsense, child,"' said Verner, "yo'
told nue her Ladyship would not waz.
you till eleven o'clock. Sit doWn ane
tot me tell Mr. Nestorias what a capi-
tal Grecian you, are"
"It use -d to be Edgar in the old
days," remonstrated the statesman.
"But in those days you were an un-
dergraduate and I was a don," an-
swered Gabriel Verner, "and, now. you
are a great statesman and I am a
nobdy.
The interpreter of the. Stagyrite
must always be renowned,' said Nes-

.wearing long trousers turned up, ra-
their than those of the exact length,
which would necee,sarily have to be
held tightly by auspenders. The Aus-
tin:in hale wurn in the Tyrol and in
all parts of he tut:entry by gentlemen
there, gained no vogue beca.use the
Prince ot Wales when at Marienbad
wile photographed wearing one of
them and an attempt was made
through that fact to boom them. Men
who knew their use recognized their
inappropriateness to this country,
while others were not attracted by
the cambination of a green hat and a
pheasant's wing. On the other hand,
the soft gray hats, described various-
ly as a Homboarg Fedora or Alpine,
owe their continued popularity to
the faet that the Prince of Wales
promptly adopted the new style. That
was another case in which his person-
al -comfort was again the motive that
led him to take a new style.
The single-breasted frock- coat will
in all probability have to be added to
the list of those fashions which could
not be made popular, even through
the Prince's patronage. There may be
need of such a garment in London,
where the hot weather extends well
into the summer mouths and full
dress is required in a. temperature
that makes the prospect of wearing
a frock coat seem torture. The addi-
tional lightne.ss gained oy dispensing
with orne layer of cloth is not to be
despised by a fat man who has to
wear a frock coat on a hot after-
noon.

The examinations referred to in this
article are usually held in large halls.
The Examination Hall, or Xoong Yuin
as it is called, at Canton contains 7,500
cells. Each cell measures 4 feet by
3, and is high enough to stand up in.
Tbe furniture consists of two boards,
one to sit on and the other for writing
at.
The cells are arranged around a
number or open courts, so that the
soldiers who guard the place can, look
in and see that no student communi-
cates with another. The characters on
the cells indicate each student's partic-
ular place. Confinement in so cramp-
ed an area; where it Ls impossible to lie
down, is said to cause the death of
many students, some of whom are
quite old men.
