... The Week of Weeks Wklek Is Horse Skow Week Of No Polit'cal Importance The forthcoming meeting of the Tsar and Sultan must not, of course, be looked upon as of any political importance. The Tsar will, on his way to pay a purely private visit to the King of Italy, steam through the Bosphorus. As he will be bound to pass quite close to the Palace in which the Ottoman Emperor resides, what more ...

... yr Woiacterffy! Wm Office The Visiting Season With the beginning of September, writes a lady correspondent, the cures a matter for remembrance, the sons and heirs returned to school, and the partridges sitting waiting to be shot, the country house season sets in with accustomed severity.

An Arboreal Eyrie for the Stwdfent A SUMMER HOUSE IN A TREE AT EASTON LODGE At Easton Lodge, Dunmow, Essex, the Countess of Warwick's beautiful home, the charming idea of building a summer house amid the boughs of a tree has been carried out with admirable skill.

... . By J. Stanley Hughes. IT was a station on the plains of Queensland. Well- sinking was being carried on some twenty miles from the homestead. Jack the Rat was one of the three hands employed by the contractor. Spoken to as Jack, spoken of as the Rat, written down in the station books as both, he never laid claim to, or seemed to care for any other style or title. When he drew his wages he ...

The guns and the rods are far from pleased; the birds are wild, and fishing on the Loch is possible only on the sheltered parts.

... Continental Chat. The Kaiser and Mr. Churchill I am rather surprised that the British Press has not made more party capital than it has out of the Kaiser's invitation to Mr. Winston Churchill to visit the Grand Manœuvres. Of course, in itself, there is not very much in it, as Mr. Churchill has previously been a guest at the same manœuvres. Still, it is a little pointed that out of all the ...
