The economic position of the Hungarian women is far in advance of many of the other Eurorwwi countries. A wife's inherited and earned income is her own, and not her husband's. When a wife dies intestate her property is turned over to the children, if sho has any. If she is childlesa, it goes to her relatives, and not to her hius band. Divorce laws apply equally to men and women. Two things of which Hungarian women most bitterly complain arc, first, that a woman may n-ot sign her name as a witness to any legal document ; and, s-ecoiully, that she is not tho legal guardian of her own children unless her hits-band so ap points her. There is the same com- plaint thoro. as in England that "a mother is not a parent," and the doing away with this position is one of the first things that will happen when Hungarian women got the vote.

To the back of the wilderness Beyond the desert wastes on the foothill slopes of the mountains. The mountain of God . Horeb The names ''Sinai' 1 and "Horeb" are used practically in- terchangeably in the Old Testa- ment. As in our present passage, so in 1 Kings 19. 8, the name "Horeb" is used following the de- signation "the mountain of God." In this and subsequent lessons we shall assume that Mount Sinai is somewhere near the southern point of the peninsula between the Gulf of Akabah, and not far from the northern end of the Red Sea itself. It has been suggested by some mod- ern scholars that the mountain, the exact location of which has never been determined, should rather be sought farther to the northeast in the hill country of Seir, north of the Gulf of Akabah. The burden of proof, however, lies with those who question the traditional site, which still has the support of many of the best Old Testament schol- ars. 2.

At the close of the Boer war of 1881, the London Standard pub- lished the news of the signing of the treaty of peace some time before the government itself knew of it | a circumstance that greatly puzzled j the officials. In "Campaigns of a War Correspondent," the author, i the late Melton Prior, tells how the . feat was accomplished. The conference between the Eng- 1 lish and Boer leaders took place in a farmhouse at the base of Majuba Hill. While it was going on a i small army of correspondents and i artists camped outside, anxiously j waiting for the news that the war was over. They were lounging and > lying about on the grass- with their , horses saddled and bridled, ready ; to race to the telegraph office in , camp. Captain Cropper, Gen. Sir Eve- lyn Wood's aide-de-camp, and I were very good friends, and as he occasionally came out of the house to have a chat, he kept me inform- ed how matters were going inside, j Another great friend of mine was Jack Cameron, correspondent, of i the Standard. I was anxious to do j him a good turn, and it occurred to i me that now was my chance, so I ' said. "Cropper, you might let me j know when they really are signing, i or going to sign." Then I said to Cameron, "Look here, old chap, you get your horso ready and send it round the corner I of that hill, but be careful that the other fellows don't suspect any- ' thing, for as soon as General Wood and Kruger begin to sign the terms if peace Cropper is coming out to tell me, and when you see me raise ; my helmet, that is the signal for ; you to gallop into camp, and send the news off." out, and carelessly whispered to! me, "It's all over, Prior; they have > signed." I simply had to give the! pre-arranged signal to Cameron. | and he was off like a shot at a full PHONETIC ENGLISH. New Source of Diversion in Cer-i man Text-Books. The blunders of foreigners wrest-' ling with the difficulties of our illo-l gioal language have always afforded amusement to those born to the English tongue. French-English, Dutch- English, "English no she Ja spoke" by the Portuguese, the Bab:i. the Chinaman, and the Ja- panese have each in turn provided innocent delight. But it has been in phraseology or grammar that the errors and the comedy usually lay ; spelling and pronunciation have counted for oosn-paraitively^ little. Now comes an inquiring English- man who has found a new source of diversion in certain German text- bouks in which the pronunciation of English words is painstakingly ex- plained in parallel columns by what the authors believe to be their pho- netic equivalents. His discoveries are unique. He finds our common- est form of salutation and responsa to be this : "Gud morning, szorr, hau du ju du?" "Szank ju, uerri uell." Should such a bewilderingly th- less dialogue occur at the break- fast table, say between a Briton and his friend from Germany. a simple order to the waiter is likely to follow : "Giw mi szommszing to iht, ei am hongri. Bring a bihfstahk uisz eggs fohr. mi, and a motten schopp uisz potatohs fohr mei fraud.

The Order of the Thistle, of which Lord Haldane, lord high chancel- lor of Great Britain, is to be made a knight, dates only from the last day of 1703. Centuries earlier, however, the thistle was the nation- al badge of Scotland, and the ori- gin of its emblematic use is as- cribed by tradition to the Danish invasion of Scotland. The invaders planned a night attack, and. march- ing barefoot, had contrived to creep close up to the Scottish forces un- observed, when -ne of them stepped on a thistle and uttered a cry of pain. The alarm was given, and the attack failed. Out of gratitude the thistle was adopted as the in- signia of Scotland. Ancient Roman Theatre. Nearly 13,000 people could be ac- commodated in the ancient Roman theatre at Dorchester, England. It was carefully designed to prevent the patrons having the sun in their eyes. There were, in fact, "good views from every seat in tho house." The theatre at Dorchester was used comparatively recently for a public spectacle and in 1705 over 10.000 spectators gathered there to witness the burning alive of a woman who hail poisoned her husband.

Curious and interesting facts re- garding India's passion for go-id, i and the strange uses to which the natives put the precious metal, are contained in a report issued by the great bullion merchants.

"At pre.-^ent nearly all the gro'.d dug from the earth in South Africa is by a fresh digging operation deposited again bcm-ath the soil in South Asia.
