Last week, at Bristol, eleven brothers named HUNT, of Pucklechurch, played a football match against a team composed of the MILLER family, of Brislington. We are always pleased to see these practical object-lessons in the advantage of having large families--a custom which is in danger of falling into desuetude. * * * "The Liberal Party, the Tory Party, and the House of Lords are nothing against the united intelligence of democracy," said Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD at a meeting to celebrate the "coming of age" of the Independent Labour Party. We are of the opinion that Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD should know better than to impose upon youth like that. _Maxima debetur pueris reverentia._ * * * According to _The Evening News'_ critique of the exhibition of the International Society:--"Two statues by Rodin dominate the gallery. One, 'Benediction,' is in his early manner, but by Lord Howard de Walden." We suspect that there was division of labour here. RODIN sculped it (in his early manner) and Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN said, "Bless you" (probably in his later manner). * * * New York Suffragettes have been discussing the question, "Ought women to propose?" and one of them has stated, "I am seriously thinking of proposing to a man"--and now, we suspect, she is wondering why her male acquaintances are shy about stopping to talk to her. We ought to add that her name, as reported, is Miss BONNIE GINGER. * * * We hear that, as a result of a contemporary drawing attention to Chicago's leniency towards women murderers, ladies whose hobby is homicide are now flocking to that city and it is becoming uncomfortably overcrowded. * * * "Frau Krupp von Bohlen," we are told, "is the largest payer of war tax in Germany. Her contribution amounts to L440,000." We have a sort of idea, however, that she gets some of this back. * * * * * [Illustration: _The Younger Brother_ (_in an awestruck whisper_). "SAY, 'ORACE, ARE YOU _SURE_ WE'RE RIGHT FOR THE GALLERY? THERE'S A GENT BEHIND WIV SPATS ON!"] * * * * * "Sir John Collie ridiculed the present system by which 22,000 doctors depend for an income on their capacity to please their parents."--_Labour Leader._ And not only doctors. The Temple is full of people in the same ridiculous position. * * * * * "Mathilde explained (her name, of course, was Mathilde really but peasants in Normandy, and for that matter all over France, are curiously inaccurate with names, and often misplace letters in this manner)." _"Evening News" Feuilleton._ The printer of the above must be careful when he crosses the Channel, or he may pick up this bad habit. * * * * *
