IpT WRITERS IN BRITISH ARMY "All Sorts and Conditions of Men" Seem to Be Gathering Under i.ord Kitchener. The new army is the most interesting army there has been in England since the days of Oliver Cronrwell, in the sense that it is drawn from all ranks and interests in the country. Men who have won distinction in the world of books are not lacking. A body that is well represented is the group of young historians and writers who are associated with the Workers' Educational association and the modern 'Inntnnrnim mnrnmnnf TVittc oil uvittwiuvtv lllV*?lllWUi? X Jt UO Hit three of the authors of that valuable book, "Economic Documents," published by Messrs. Bell, are now soldiers. Mr. Tawney, who was one of the leaders of the Workers'Educational movement, and is chiefly known for a book on the sixteenthcentury inelosures (which is likely to become a standard work on the subject), is a private in one of the new battalions which are being raised in Manchester. Mr. P. A. Brown enlisted in the Durham light infantry, and is now an officer in that regiment, while Mr. Bland is in training in the Officers' Training corpB.

With the death of Bertram Dobell we lose a man who hml rendered a great service to literature, says the Westminster Gazette. To the limited public which was interested in old books and the byways of literature he was known as a lxx>kseller, and one of the most successful of his time. To the greater literary public he was known as a pleaeant poet aud prose writer and the discoverer and publisher of the work of several poets of the past. Chief of these was Thomas Troherne, whose manuscripts came into Dobcll's hands. With great industry he traced the authorship and then gave the l>ook to the world. He did a similar service for William Strode, another forgotten poet. A NICE DISCRIMINATION. "I dare say women get bettor results by studying the fashion plates I than they do by studying each others* clothes.*' "Why so?" "Well, there's a certain amount of animosity aroused when 0110 woman sees another woman well dressed and this feeling is apt to hlind her to some of the fine points of the other's attire."

'K - HELD COMPANY NOT LIABLE Decision of Kentucky Court of Some Interest to the Holders of Tornado Insurance. Liability under a policy of tornado insurance was passed on by the court of appeals of Kentucky in National Fire Insurance company vs. Crutchfield, in which it appeared that a river overflowed and surrounded certain buildings covered by policies insuring against all direct loss or damage by tornado, wind storm or cyclone, but which provided that the company should not be liable for loss or damage occasioned by high water or overflow. The water was from one to four feet deep in each of the buildings and was rising slowly when a high wind arose which produced heavy waves that were driven against the buildings, loosening the foundations, and when the wind became more violent and the waves higher the buildings were lifted from their foundations and thrown over. It appeared that neither the overflow nor the wind storm would have caused the damage alone had nor ine oiner cause concurreu witn it. It was held that there could he no recovery on the policy, as the damage was not directly caused by the wind storm, since if the water had not surrounded the buildings it could not have been blown against, them and that the flood was therefore at least indirottly, if not directly, the cause of the damage.

An experienced brakeman was held negligent in Williams vs. Kansas City. Southern Railway company before the supreme court of Missouri. The testimony showed that on a dark night, with nothing but a red lantern to furnish light, this brakeman j jumped from the pilot of an engine and ran between the rails to throw a switch before the train reached it. He stumbled over an uneven place in the track and was injured by the train, and the court held him negligent, "although he acted upon a custom of placing trains on sidings by heating thorn to the switches.''
