The letters were lately discovered at Althorp, and ap- pear to be the sole extent of the rem~ nent of voluminous correspondence, which the second `l'lnrl destroyed shortly before his death, to bear wit~ ness to`the friendly relations between Nelson and Lady Spencer. Nelson’s first letter, dated Septem- ber 23, 1797, which pays a graceful compliment and offers a present of a vanquished Spanish captain’s sword, shows Nelson had already won a high place in the iady’s esteem. The second and third letters, together with one of Lord St. Vincent's, which follows and elucidates them further, show the esteem soon to bear fruit. It is .a family tradition that it' was Lady Spencer who prevailed on her husband to recommend Nelson at this period for a. high independent connnand in the Mediterranean. The letter of Lord St. Vincent seems to leave no doubt she applied the same sort of per- suasion to Nelson's immediate Com- mander-in-Chief. Nelson's fourth letter of date, Sept. 22, 1799';'~belongs to the period of Nel- sQn's moral eclipse, when hc niade‘ hi`_l legitimate concern for the safety of the two Siciiies and his loyalty for the Queen of Naples n cloak for his infatuation with Lady Hamilton and an excuse for his constant sojourn- ing in the neighborhood of his two enchantrcsses. The letter apparently was written l11 reply to one wuerein Lady Spencer gently hinted that Nel- son was ,suffering in repute, and ls a sort of apology for his conduct. it says: “John Bull and all the world may cdntinue to keep an eye on my conduct, and may examine me in the field; in the cabinet, and in my closet, and I am vain enough to believe l shall be thought purer by the ordeal." Nelson then pays a glowing tribute to the wisdom and goodness of the Queen of Nbples and the beauty and‘, accomplishments of Lady Hamlltorui Referring to Lady Hamilton, be said: "She shows all who como near us that she thinks the scars 'on my car- cass are more valuable and precious than the richest diadem that has adorned a Monarch. Sb/e holds my honor and that of ourcountry so dear that she would give her heart's blood sooner than one or the other should be tarnished. This incomparable per- son ia the wife of my much honored and old friend, Sir William Hamilton. l can say with tnith that it would not have been in my power to render such essential services to their Sicil- ian Majesties but by the private in- timacy of.Sir William and Lady Hamil- ton with their Majesties and Sir John Acton. With these friends about me you will believe that Nelson will al- ways be found where the honor and interest of Britain require his pre- sence." -Nelson tarriad about Naples, and Palermo until finally Lord Spencer was fain to suggest in 1800 that his health did not permit him to be with the fleet and ought to return home. Boon after this Nelson ret’urned, mak- ing amasi`ng‘progress across Europe in company with Sir William and Lady Hamilton; _ Rtuucinensss Jockeys Have to Take Particular CII* ol' Themselves During the winter, a i°cksy's 11°"- day-time, s jockey has got to he sl careful about putting on weiEl\¢ Umm* as during the days when he is actually riding.

N ARMS AND YOUIH Sir lan Hami|ton'e Pamphlet on ' Natlona|Trainlng General Sir Ian Hamilton ilndsfault with the present method of teaching boys because it engeuders toe much individualism--the direct result of the Competitive examination. “Excess of individualism,” he writes, “becomes a ¢llBl‘l1l>llVe fvfce. rendering coopera- tion impossible, and 'lt is this excess of a thing, good in moderation, I am tlltingvagainst when I ask you if we might not fairly try and reinforce the public-spirited, patriotic side of school life." Secondly, every citizen should have a conception of the State in peace and of the every-day duties of a citi- zen; and also a conception of the State in war and his last ultimate duty. If this conception can be clearly stamped on the youth of_the nation, a living force will be created. General Hamilton vigorously attacks those who insist on drill, scouting, etc., being merely physical exercises with no bearing on real war. This, he says, "amounts to s. deliberate rejection of the finest idea that can be put into a boy's head, the idea that each male citizen holds his life only in flef for his country." Why not let us be honest? Let us look things in the face and press for compulsory cadet training in all schools, public and private-such is the Generai's plcu. With regard to the Statcln time of peace, this remarkable pamphlet cun- tains the following suggestions: A course of militnry__t.raining for all boys as the best antidote to excess of individualism. The cadet corps as part of our _school curriculum giving cohesion to the nation. Military training giving definite shape to a sense of citizenship now vague and formless. The cadet corps serving as a constant object lesson in the subservience of the boy to the group-of the group to the company. The necessity, ns a first step, of being honest with ourselves and with the boys. A halt to be called in the practice of pretending that cadet corps are aiming at nothing more serious than physical drill. When the State is in danger tho youth of the country should be induced voluntarily and in the face of all men to place their lives at its disposal. “As the Church confirms a boy in his religion," runs an eloquent passage, "so should the State confirm the youth definitely in citizenship, or permit him definitely to abjure his political riches. No compulsion. Leave him his old-age pension. But do not let a man vote, that is, take his share of governing a country, when he has in anticipation, refused deliberately to shed in its defence one drop of the thin, ungenerous fluid imagined by him to be bleod." izouinogliiu sites A Popular Fallacy, According to One Who Hal Studied Them From childhood up we have all heard of equinocltal gales which many appear to fear with alarm. Equinox means. of course, equal day and night, so about the 21st of March when the sun crosses the equator in its northerly course and again on the 21st of Sep- tember when it recrosses it in its southerly course, we are told by the so-called westherwise' that great gales will occur. We are not informed where, but presumably at least throughout the northern hemisphere -for naturally if the sun in crossing the equator exercises such an in- fluence in one portion of the glibc, it' must equally do so in all the re- maining portious.

Dec. 22, (Special)-Mr. Irs _@1509 M0l‘I`lB. of Chicago, Commis- oner to -Italy, in behalf of the Pana- a-Psciiic Exposition, arrived here esterday to obtain Italy's nceeptnme the invitation to partake in the xhlbition. _ The Commissioner was received by r. Nelson Page, the United States mbassador, and was presented to- ay to the Marchcse di- Ban Giulano, allan Minister of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Morris' task is not easy, a‘trr ermany's refusal to participate oin- eially. The good will of the Minister of Commerce is counteracted by the circumstance that many industries are still in a critical condition, eauaed by the Balkan war, and those interested in them are not desirous of participating in any exposition, ' Mr. Morris will later be received by the Minister of Agriculture, Sig- nor Nitti, and the Minister of Marine Vice Admiral Enrico Millo. It is Probable also that he will have an opportunity of meeting King Victor Emmanuel. FUX NUTES Almost all the fox companies which have been organized this year have sold out their stocks and many of them are already selling at B pre- mium. Word has been received here that the Massaclrusetts Company. have sold 10 pairs of prospective 1914 ofl- spring in Maine and two or three companies will probably be formed thiere. The Canada Fox Exchange and Investment Co., Ltd., estimate that about 150 pairs of next year's in- creases have been optioned for. This is far in advance of last year’s opera- tions, for at this period lust year not more than 25 or 30 options had been placed. That the fox business is on a more robust basis than ever before in its history is the expression of one of the most conservative bankers in the city. This gentleman was somewhat dubious of the stability of the busi- ness, but the influx of foreign capi- tal, has made a .convert oi him. During the past week nearly $100,000 is known to have found its way from the eastern states into the business and no doubt a good deal has come from other parts. .'I`he Boston Jour- nal article which was reprinted in yesterilay’s Guardian is one of the best advertisements which the _fox industry has yet received, and its value in dollars and cents, to this province can hardly be estimated. Two gentlemen came down from Bos- ton as a result of it andplaceil $5,000 in the business. 'Hundreds of others bought shares after reading the arti- cle, It is articles of this kind which advertise and instruct and have the best efieet in interesting foreign in- vestors and inspiring confidence in lille Province. , The Lesgislatures of all the Western provinces have enacted laws prohibit- ing the exportation of live foxes. These laws will coma into eilect next spring. As a result of th‘e capture this year gif young live black and silver foxes it is anticipated thaothe price of these furs will be enhanced consider- ably in thc spring sales. It will not be surprising if cross-foxes be from 200 to 250 per ce/nt higher than they were a year ago.\ The D0ll\1lf1\`ll'-Y 01 the cross-fox fur has caused an in- Qregse 0( 150 per Cdllt. lil their Vallltl already in a period of less than nine mgnt-hs, Skins which last yeur brought $75 were quoted, at the last sales, at nearly $200. The feminine aristocracy of Broadway B-fe very frequently adorned in cross fox furs, and many of the nobility abroad are this year wearing them. It will be good nnws to the numerous rauulwé in P. E. Island who have stocked these foxes to learn of the aDl>l”°¢l9»‘ tion of their fur.
