CIvI.KRY AND AUTUMN

"Last night the waiter put the celery on witn the cheese, and 1 knew that summer was indeed dead. Other •signs of autumn there may be, hut none of these come home to me so truly, writes Air A. xY. Milne in the Sphere. WHJOKE BETHLEHEM IS. Ellen King, of Sweden, whose hook, "Love and Marriage," is attracting much attention, says:— " ••Again and again saviours will be l)orn to humanity. Hut always of some young woman with foreiiead pure as a lily and deep eyes. And u ill always be there, where a young mother kneels in praver bv her child's cradle." WHAT AUK MAIITIN SAYS. Mr E. Y. Lucas, in the Sphere, quotes these sagacious sayings of a newiy invented figure—one "Abe Martin" : "You never get what you want for Christmas after you grow up." "Every allowance within reason should be made for th' father o' a baby boy." "Did you ever notice how a fellow smiles alter he's put a lot o' relatives on th' train fer home;-'" "After a girl gits her picture in a photographer's windows she hain't mur!) lielp t' her mother." . WHAT'S DID IS DID. "It will take a very fine volume to .surpass in interest 'Ciiarterhouse Sermons,' by Dr. Kendall, the late headmaster." say the Expository Times. " i ne first mistake which boys make is that when a sin is forgiven its consequences are cancelled. Are they cancelled 'i Dr. Kendall declares that life, experience, history, all proclaim the opposite. As Marcus Dods, in his 'Early Letters,' familiarly puts it, 'What's did is did and can't be didder.' That which is done is done, and cannot even by forgiveness be undone." WHAT TM.KY WENT OUT TO SEE. ''The crowds that gather to stare at the \ac°.nt place on the walls of ihe j.(i:.rre foi iik-m'ly occupied by the Da •, inci portrait arc five times as great as tlx 1 crowds that came lo look at the picture," says the New York Evening Post. CAUSATION OF EYEKYTH INC. "The last orientation of the human mind unquestionably points to a spuluv.i>tsaiurn of every department of activity, whether business or pleasure. A new dawn seems breaking, wit.n new doors and windows, inu> eternity, 1 ' says I'. W. Orde-in the Jamdon Quarterly l.\eview. 'I HE 'l HRKE B's OF i'AIUS. "iSecque, Bergson. and Brieux are the three ti's wnicli i. J aris now contributes towards regaling the intellectual world. As between the dramatic lieeque and Mrioux, Parisians think more highly of tne former at present, ju-(i >ai)i;, i),ise lie is dead. During ills liielime me attention Henri iiecque received , was scant enough, ami 'La Pa risienne' went a begging iiue tiie resc or ins u orks," says reiix Grendon in the international. "The \\ fir.-,t mat can be said of it is tluu it reveals an aifeetion for that detached, dispassionate representation of life, winch Cidswortny still cultivates, which was possibly excusable in tin* playwrights of Elizabeth's time, but which, unpardonable in the playwrights oi to-day, has pauperised the n.ob.est ellorts oi nodi Galsworthy and liecque." DANGER TO MOHAMMEDANS. Ameer Ali. in a letter to the Times, writing as a Mohammedan who is "deeply interested in the growth and maintenance of amity and friendly feeling between Christianity and lslii.ii ;,nd is seeking the two great creeds working harmoniously and, if possible, hand-in-hand," warns us of i lie ■unthinkable consequences" which may follow from "this flagrant breach of all canons of international morality on the part of a nominally Christian country." To England, especially, the matter must be of serums moment. "A hundred millions of .Mussulmans acknowledge her sway." mrrrcK 'itukish comment. The Tallin, the chief Turkish paper, says "The Tripoli question brings on the tapis the whole question of the relations between Christianity and lslain. The Turks have trespassed on nobody's rights, yet Italy is preparing to occupy a I urkish vilayet on the pretext that Germany and France have taken away the independence of .Morocco. While giving assurances of friendship, Italy is hastening on hostile preparations. Such conduct is a violation of the principles of international law. humanity, and civilisation. It is evident that the word 'justice' is a lie in Europe, that protests of ainitv from the rowers have no meaning, and that treaties are merely instruments of deception which may be destroyed when any advantage is to be < rained thereby. Ihe Italian U cession is really the outcome of the animosity of Christianity towards Islam."
