to appoint a Committee to enquire into the action of the liquidators of the property of the religious orders, M. Emile Cpmbes said he could not under stand how it was that the liquidators had only ob tained delivery of 850,000 francs when the orders had received more than eight million francs of State advances, and the revenues had very con siderably exceeded that sum. He hoped that the enquiry would throw light on the matter, and he regarded the appointment of the Committee as a work of moral and political importance. RUSSIAN NEWS.

As a consequence, 14 people have been arrested, including an engineer, several Polytechnic students and three women. THE MOROCCAN SITUATION.

The weather, for one must speak of it at this time of year, has been behaving itself correctly. It is not long since I had occasion to comment on the absence of fog. This in itself is something of an achievement; but when, in addition to this negative advantage, one is able to record frost, east winds, and a certain amout of snowfall, one feels one has no right to complain. East winds, it is true, have a knack of creeping unpleasantly down* one's back; a red nose, also, is unnecessary and undignified: yet what are these trifling matters compared to a seasonable, an “old-fashioned” Christmas? People would be quite ready to swal low their grievances just once for the sake of the tradition of the thing; but the prophets speak dis concertingly of the future. We are to have a real winder. It is one thing to go to tobogganning parties in the country; it is quite another to stumble into piles of brown snow in the gutters. Perhaps I am unduly pessimistic; but I cannot help wondering if Shelley thought of the weather, among other things, when he wrote, “We look before and after, And pine for what is not.” Of course the extraordinary thing will be not that our weather has gone colder, but that this year it is going to be colder than usual. Every one knows that in England the cold weather comes as the days begin to lengthen; and the cor respondence which has been going on in the papers on the subject has brought to light a few more suggestive theories. It is claimed that a wet autumn precedes a cold winter, as was very for cibly shown in 1893. The observation is at least as old as Gilbert White's Natural History of Selborne.

Swift’s little affair with the coach and the sham array of parsons, with which the reading- books of childhood have made us familiar, has a persistent unreality today: it is too good to be true. Somehow the practice seems to have gone out of fashion. Are we too considerate or too dull or too hurried? The other day, however, we had a proof that a good joke, though no very original one, is still possible. It all happened because the Marquis of Cholmondeley has taken warning of Lord Lonsdale’s recent losses and set up a burglar trap at his seat in Cheshire. He was very con fident in its efficiency, and did not scruple to voice his satisfaction to the members of a neighbouring house-party at Eaton Hall. The house-party put their heads together, and began to plot. Shortly after midnight a motor-car was seen to enter the gates of Cholmondeley Park. It contained six gentle men of the Duke of Westminster’s house-party who had come to prove the insufficiency of Lord Chol- mondeley’s precautions by removing the Southdown Cup, a treasured possession. It must be said, in fairness, that they had had special facilities for knowing the weak spots of the house. There was a certain window-sash which would not make serious resistence; and to this the amateur gang made their way, carrying gimlets and other necessary tools. Moreover, one of them knew the mechanical intricacies of the trap. At any rate, the attempt succeeded. One of the party entered the house, took the cup, and deposited a lump of coal in its place. Then two toy dogs in Lady Cholmondeley’s room began to bark. The terrified culprits scampered to the motor, and drove off at a break-neck pace. On the next morning every body met at the hunt. Lord Cholmondeley received the shameless commiserations of the burglars; and to those who knew, as well to those who did not know, the incident was the talk of the day. Mean while, before the matter was cleared up, the police had already begun to put two and two together and found it necessary to call on the Duke of Westminster. Of course the cat was already out of the bag, and on the same evening the cup was once more in its old place. This hoax has been widely appreciated, but pro bably one of the most successful practical jokes of recent times, in which the public also had a share, was one played some years ago upon the Mayor of Cambridge. It was at the time of the Lent races. Almost everybody was away on the towing- path. The town and the colleges were practically deserted, when the Mayor received an important telegram. It related to the visit of the Sultan of Zanzibar which had been fixed for that day. Un fortunately the Sultan himself was unable to come; but the telegram announced that his uncle and suite were coming in his place. Accordingly, the Mayor and all his satellites drove to the station in state. Five gentlemen arrived—a young English interpreter with four dusky followers of the dusky potentate. They were imposingly tall, dignified, and well arrayed. The small crowd gave them an excellent reception, and they bowed their thanks. They were, indeed, appreciative though silent. The necessary explanations incident to sight-seeing were conveyed by the interpreter. The visit was a short one; the distinguished personages were going on to some friends in the country not far away, and they left amid undiminished enthusiasm. On the following day the visit was duly reported in the papers. Imagine the astonishment of the worthy Mayor, who had exerted his utmost powers of amiability (he was a flourishing tradesman of the town) when this report was followed by an official denial. The Sultan was unaware of any intention of visiting the University, nor had anyone been delegated by him to visit it in his stead; while it was entirely out of the question that any uncle of his should have been there. The Mayor’s astonish ment gave way to indignation. He called on the University authorities and demanded satisfaction. By that time the whole business had leaked out. The Mayor’s suspicion that it was an undergradu ate prank was confirmed by fresh reports in the papers. But there was nothing to be got from the University authorities. Perhaps they showed the Mayor how the fact that the University was not represented at the reception should have stimulated his caution; perhaps they insisted that the Uni versity had no detective functions. The Mayor, at any rate, went away a dissatisfied man. IK MM teritanOrtt^D'rais 0 ^ II* II* UJtilkltfll) Dresden, Prager Strasse lO, I. •— Specialist in straightening teeth. Officially the perpetrators of the joke were never discovered; unofficially everybody knew, and every body laughed. The interpreter came from Oxford; the rest were Cambridge men. They were all made up and dressed in London by a man who knew his business. Every care was taken to produce the most absolute realism: even the interpreter assumed a beard for the occasion—because inter preters, for some occult reason, always do wear beards, and also to make the disguise more complete. The others were all well over six feet tall, and were well-known at the time for their sportive temper. Their self-control must have been enormous; it appears only at one point to have broken down. As the party were descending some troublesome stairs one of the visitors caught his foot, and in giving vent to the customary expletive attracted a little attention. But the incident was insufficient to arouse the suspicion of his hosts until after the truth was known.

There will be no Vesper service today at the Kreuzkirche.

Those who have not as yet been able to make up their minds to attend the Gauklerfest fixed for the 23rd instant in the Exhibition Palace, and who thereby run the risk of missing one of the most important festivals of the season, wiU now surely throw all considerations aside, when they learn that the Executive Com mittee have engaged two of the most celebrated dancers in the world, the passionate Tordajada and la belle Otero, with their famous corps de ballet, for the evening of the festival. In single and group dances a world of grace, rhythmical move ment, and beauty will delight the visitors. Not less will the menagerie contribute to the liveliness, of the scene, a moving menagerie which will pass in procession through the building in a blaze of colour, headed by an elephant whose broad back will be at the service of any of the fair sex who are disposed to sit on it. A crowd of Assyrian men and women in the hall dedicated to their deity will perform the dances with which these people grace their native festivals.
