A New York woman who. sells q'ewt* papers on the streets is reputed to have " made £4,000 out of her calling in the' last twenty years. • --,'/,-, The present Sultan of Morocco iri descended from an Irish girl who became a member of the then royal harem more than 100 years ago. „ There are some very interesting reminiscences of Lord Bandolph Churchill by Mr Lucy in the -April number of tho Strand Magazine. Lord Randolph was very anxious to represent Birmipgbain in 1889, but Mr Chamberlain put^his fcot down, and threatened _open breach of al-' liance ■srith the Conservative i&rly if 'the', candidature were insistbd'Upon. 'LordSalisbury and his colleagues felt themselves in a painfully perplexed' position, and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach was deputed to sco liord .Randolph and succeeded in obtaining from him a -promise that, "if,. aftor conference with Lord Hartingtpn' and Mr Chamberlain, it . appeared for the< of the party, that-, he, -shoßld.bethrown over, the victim .would concur in the arrangement."' 'The -interview (obfc -' place and Mr Chamberlain g6t N bi« l 'way. Lord Randolph, loyal —to his "vrord, yielded, bufcjat" what ; mentaL-'cdst (»sjs i Mr Lucy) few'people know. The following appears in Madge's "Girl's Gossip" in. the London £Truih-i— Fancy a .' fore-quarter -of "lamfi-and larger ox tongue , for seven, shillings 1 ~Afld delicious lamb, too. _3Ve had it fromNew Zealand, via Nelson's -"Wharf, Lambeth, and intend veryi often to do ' the Bame.

Queensland ia determined not to be far behind in snake stories. Tim ia guaranteed as authentic : — " Miss M'Ewen, now Mrs Ellis, lived with her mother and Bistera-on the Brisbane .Biverina locality . notorious for black • snakes. - -The 'girj» were so accustomed to these reptiles that the sudden ' preseiJce of one inspired no fear whatever._ _The dairywas the great attraction for the snakes, as they are very fond of milk.

Germany is to the front with an eleotrio plough. Its inventor claims that ,ths qos.J? " of ploughing by means'of electric' force is" less than the cost of ploughing by means of the steam engine. '' In tho first pla"c'e J ,"' j he explains, " the capital invested is bnfe one third of that for steam plougbhijj plants, which latter, in~6rier to perform the requisite work x/ have to be worked unduly hard,' hence imperfect utilisation of heat and frequent repairn. A properly fitted stationary engine -will always -work more economically than a portable engine, whichwill frequently burn up to lOkiloS of coal per hour per square metre of heating surface. It is true that, with un electric plough, the chain -has / to,''bp'frequently renewed, but its t price is only one-third of that of a good -wire rope. Finally, tha expense of wafcsJr carting ia dispensed with." *' - V _ A story is told of a squatter -who-ara* recently entertaining a Sydney visitor. ' " Will you take home a wild turkey if I shoot one for you ? " The offer- was accepted. " Will you also oblige »ne by taking a few duck's with you to a friend in Sydney ? " « Cert-rinly." The ducks were packed up and duly delivered ttv»o v » popular and genia! st6ik agent 'in Sydney, who. was greatly pleased with ths thoughtful gift, and said his squatter friend was one of the nicest and most intelligent jnen he knew.
