Turning the pages of the Kemsley book I lighted on

what looked like an old-time portrait. It was. It was actually the first half-tone block from a photograph to appear in any newspaper. The paper was the old Daily Graphic. the date was a day in November, 1891, and the picture was of a Liberal candidate for Parliament with a turned-down moustache and a turned-down collar. The candidate was successful, and he is still a member of Parliament today, though no longer of the elected House ; his son holds his old seat there. I hope Viscount Lambert of South Molton will be edified as ho contemplates his effigy of fifty-nine years ago. JANUS.
