My Lady's Satchal.

By T.K.

Suggested!, evidently by oar tearful -skies, I discovered among some anony mous verses, (which If it is permitted may appear later on) the following 1 cutting.' Three centuries ago Montaigne de clared that the umbrella was a 'greater burden io a man's hand than relief to Ma head.' Later than this, in Addi son's time, there was much ridicule of a certain man who, leaving the f&m >us Will's coffee house, aent back for an umbrella when he fonud it raining. The facetious host sent a messenger with the umbrella—there was only one umbrella in the entire establishment, and the dainty man was informed -that if 'he would ft turn to the c« ffeo house he might have ' the mud's pattens 'also. If a man appeared in the streets of London publicly with an Umbrella in the early part of the eighteenth century, he was sure to be greeted with gibes, cries of'Frenchy, don't you want a coach V and the like. Montaigne's objection to the weight of umbrellas was, in his time, and for two centuries afterwards, quite a justifiable one. It was a small umbrella then which weighed 8§lb» Instead of the thin, rain proof fabrics which now form the cover log of umbrellau, nothing better was known (ban leather or oil cloth. The ribs were of wood or of whalebone, and such a thing as a steel rod was, of course, unknown. The •tick was usually of heavy oak. Many umbrellas had the additional incum brance of feathers over the top, on the theory of' shedding wacer oil a duck's back. But the oilcloth and leather umbrellas, notwithstanding the fea thers, were apt to leak. A crescent shaped handle In very common use is known among dealers »fi the ' Prince of Wales's, crook,' This is not so remarkable as the insignia which the King of Siam bai conferred on Queen Victoria and on the Emperor of Ger many, the ' Collar of the Order of the White Elephant of Siam.' The deco ration consist* of two pyramids of nine umbrellas each, set on either side of a triple white elephant. In China there are umbrellas of the most costly bro cades and silk stuffs which those in high life may use. But the common peple in China dare not use an umbrella of any kind of cloth or of •nything but paper. History shows that the umbrella came from the East, reaching first Italy, then Fpunand France, and afterwards England and Germany. The pendulum now is ■winging back again, and the last commercial statistics show that Paris is exporting 600,000 umbrellas annu ally to Turkey, while in England in one year 819,000 umbrellas were manufactured for shipment to Barmah alone,

What Does it Mean ?

Prom the Daily Chronicle,

What is the meaning of the news titagraphad by Rueter that two field hospitals have been orderrd to mobilise immediately at Peshawar 1 That ie the ordinary hoppitil coriiple. tnent that goes to a division, and as the IndUn Army is practical!]? on a war footing, the medical department wou'd t» tha first arm to he ootißeJl if there were soy prospect of active aTvico. This bad announcement certainly looks otninoup, and we hope that tho presage of troubles raised by it will not IbejastiGed by tho cvfnt. It looks, however, as though the Indian Govern; ment fear all is not going as well in Afganistan as has hitherto been b> lievett.

It may, of course, he only a case of taking time by the fop-lock with * view to poisible eventualities. Lord Cnrzon las shown himself so strongly opposed loan aggressive policy that we do not believe he is likely to move a man, otcn on oat- own side of tho frontier, unit ss it li absolutely necessary.

The Respect of the Foreigner.

(From the Daily Telegraph)

A decided and remarkable article in tht Bourse Gazette, the organ of M Witte, is only one among a number of simultaneous signs of the extent to which national endurance in the pro secution of the war ia extorting more and more the admiration and respect of foreign cities. It is tho ntmoßt importance that Englishmen should realise the fact that the continuance of the straggle, how. ever severe may be the strain exerted Upon the nerve and parse of the nation, Is producroga most valuable and unex pected compensation. A» week after week goes by, as the plough is forced by inches towards the head of the farrow, as the patience and purpose of the country remain proof »gainlt disappointment and delay, and national prosperity seems to be ab solutely unaffected by an expenditure which woold long ago have driven any other European State bankrupt, & true appreciaiion of the fu'l strength of j Britain begins to force itself upon I Continental opinion. j

The contemplation of the returns of British trade for the last two years has Induced the E urse Gazette togive ex ceptionally frank en J strong expression to ibe views which are gradually find - ing utterance in ail the capitals, It points out that after tho unexampled fmrdtus of a two years' campaign in a remote part of the world, we are still In the apparently unruffled enjoyment of an economic position with which that of no Continental country which haa remained at peace can compare. j

FOUL BREATH.

Ifl there anything more unpleasant than tSOQversiog With a person whose breath is high enough to knock you down ? It is nob only unpleasant, but painful, because it has to be endured. You can escape from an evii-Brnelllag sewer, bub you cannot run away from the individual with the foul breath. Ib would nob be polite to even mm your head the other way. Aod it is some what peculiar thab people whose breath is fosid persist in getting as close eib possible bo those bo whom they are balking; There are hundreds of persons In the community whose breath poisons God's air, and all because they won'o keep clean inside. Foul breath arises from constipation, which is the cause of much trouble, and the bowels should foe kept Sloan with Impey's May Apple, the Ideal family medicine. It keeps the bowels open and regular, strengthens the mucous membranoa of the stomach, and acts directly npon the liver and kidneys, keeping them aottte and strong.
