' Be early cautioned the young men of the foreign office against the twin iniquities of ill-formed letters and pale Ink. But letters still continued to Slope backward “like the raking masts of an American schooner," or stood Inghorrld rows, “which can only be compared to Iron railings loaning out of the perpendicular.” ' Bis own flowed exquisitely In that faultless hand, which lived on In Mr. Gladstone's memory as one of the two perfect things that he had known, en titling Palmerston to be a trifle cap tious on points of caligraphy, to re turn a dispatch to a distant consul for transcription In blacker Ink, and even to Issue acidly precise Instructions that some reluctant pupil "should form his letters by connecting his slanting down strokes by visible lines at top or bottom according to the let ters which he Intends his parallel lines to represent" Grandeur and Decay ' in Palaces of India The abodes of Indian potentates are an Incredible mixture of the magnifi cent and the cheap, the grandiose and the ludicrously homely.

A Touchstone The vitality of a translation, so far as It is a translation. Is necessarily limited by the primary vitality of its original . . . Virgil and Hbrace are among the immortals, the classics, not of one age or country, but of ali time and all the world, each one redis covers and reinterprets them, and no translation can interpret more than one phase of their complex quality, their multiform significance. The at titude of aoy period towards poetry, the meaning that poetry has fqr any oeriod, may be partly gauged by ob serving, what U found in the classics, and what, therefore, it expressed in its translations.—J. W. Mackail, In “Studies of lOngiish poets." Belong There An old lady was out riding with her son and his wife Presently they came to a group of buildings surround ed by a high stone wall. "What is that, son?” she -asked, pointing to the buildings. “That is the state insane asylum, .roother,” explained the son. Next they came to a golf course, ad joining the asylum, which was well populated with the Sunday crowd. “Oh. Isn’t that nice of them to let the poor crazy people out Into the pas ture!” exclaimed the old Indy. “But they do act queer, don’t them?”—T-os Angeles Times. Real Speed Gingerly the passenger clambered out of the two-seater sports car and breathed a sigh of relief as he found himself on firm ground once again. He proffered his cigarette case to the driver. “Very kind of yon to give me a lift." he remarked at length. "Only too pleased," said the motor 1st “Ton drive rather fast, don’t yoel" asked the other. “Fast?" exclaimed the motorist. "That was nothing. Ton ought to ba with me *4>en I’m alone."
