Golf 16,000 ft Above Sea Level

Golf at a level of I,oooft above the gummit of Mont Blanc is remarkable Oaptain FES Adair, in his book, " A Summer in High Asia," just published, tells how in crossing the pusses into Tibet he camped one day at a lovely spot carpeted with short, bright green turf, on the margin of a Ink. He proceeds : " Being a golf enthusiast I had brought a driver with me and a putter, and so havii g tnae c a hole in the short turf I instituted a putting competition for the camp, I should think the first time that the royal and ancient game had been played at an elevation of upwards o* 16,0G0f6

Cats' Wonderful Instinct

Daring tho recent fire in Hull, Ottawa, animal instinct Was demon* itrated in a rather peculiar manner. A wooden houie, which the French Canadians of Hull in their old fashioned way say was " too dry to bora," formed a refuge for several dozen cats, and although the houses on each side of it were burnt down, tbie house stood intact, and the cats, many of whom had been badly burnt in their progress to if, were saved.

Dreyfus Once More

In epite ■ i the Exhibition trace the Dreyfus / fKire ia once more beginning to unsettle French nerves. The new campaign, like forraor ones, was beralded by the publication of secret documents. These were communicated to the press by a certain Oaptain Fritseb. Thia officer was promptly retired by General de Galliiet. A tumultuous discussion on the incident followed in the Chamber. The Minister of War stigmatised Captain" Fritsch as a criminal, and the Premier, W Waldeck-Kooaseau, described him as a talen, The Right was at once up in wmi. They would not tolerate a civilian criticising the • honour f of the army. At the conclusion of an exciting debate the Government found itself supported by a substantial majority, Nwctday, however, General de Galliffet handed fn bis resignation, His poor health, he declared, did not allow him Ho resist all the emotions of the moment.' His successor, General Andre, has already been appoinoed, but thi« sudden resignation has shaken the Cabinet While attacked by the enemies of Dreyfus, it it assai'ed by hia partisans. The Government is still persisting in its attempts to secure the passage of an Act of Amnesty. This tfat supporters ©f Dreyfus are deter mined if possible to prevent. M Zola has addressed a lengthy letter to the Senate, in which he protests against the cloaking of • the appaling heap of crimes and iniquities,' If France is to be saved* these diseased parts must not be bideted away but burned out. On the whole the political outlook in France is far from satisfactory at the present moment.— Daily &ews Weekly

The German Emperor.

He talks it a good deal, and with-ut any hesitation. This, Cjf coarse, ia as it ons»ht to be. His French, which as a rale is only ns jd play lolly and in inverted commas, as it were has the genuine Parißsan •' r»cle. Pi Tke Empresa also talks English well, feut with a strong accent and with ais «cca sional quaint tnrn of a phrase.

French Opinion of New Zealand.

The Lyttelton Times London correspon dent pubiiftheß some extracts from a Review el New Zealand, by a, French visitor to this colony, from which we take the foil owing:— Every slaii of citizens wants its own law, and wants to decree to the State regulations BJOBfc favourable to itself without troubling itself too much as to the results that) will follow. Everyone in New Zealand tarni to *b,e State as to the eouroa of all aid, of all good and all wealth. If you don' 6 demand ft special law, you aak for a billet, for fch« love of administrative employment is as strong la the colony as in France. In con sequence, the number of Government offi' $ia!» is rapidly increasing, and New Zealand is growing more and mora like an old coun try, where bureaucracy flourishes. '• What is mosb wanted in the colony are «R>nvictions, principles, reasoned opinions, parties are not constituted upon dootrineß, but upon interests, which one colours, per' baps, with fine phrases, bub which, none the less, bluntly remain interests. Every one wants to get protection for himself without bothering about others, in coese* quenoe the classes are becoming more and more separated, aod the Government tends to become, not the Government of the whole country, bub of a parly, or even of a eoteria. *

Immigration Record

The largest number of immigrants ever landed at New York in a single day arrived by five steamships, num bering 5,688 This exceeded the record by almost a thousand. There were 3,500 Italians^ and 1,000 Irish, the rest being Germans, Austriane and Hungarians. It is thought that the total for May will exceed ail records. The year is, indeed, likely to be a memorable one ia iramigration annal?, for the total since January, compared with the aanae period last year, is nearly 40,000 greater. !

The Patriotic Funds

United Presa Association—By Electric Telegraph

Wellington, July 25 Tb« Mayor of Wellington objaeta to the rtumisr*' proposal to deal with the various Patriotic Funds under a national scheme. He said ib waa a municipal idea altogether that led to the promotion of funds in the various cities and the money whioh the citizens 8o freely subscribed lor a speoifio purpose should be disbursed in the direction indicated by the subscribers themselves. He ■trongly favovra a central distributing com mittee, and, failing that, he thinks a local distribution is the next best thing.
