Society" is still at its outing and the
hotels are crowded. with Americans home
ward bound.
The newspaper reports of hunts and
country feasls, however, show that the
nobility are taking advantage of sunshinv
days to enjoy the sports that are dearest
to Englishmen's hearts. The greater part
OF the American travellers who intend to
return home this fall have already taken
their departure, and the ocean steamship
are now carrying over the tagging ones
question which one hears very often is
Where did all these Americans coma
lrom?' 1t seems to me that the question
is a very pertinent one. Any one acduaint-
ed with Americans could have found os
many of his countrymen aud country
women over here this summer AS he
wished, and, probably, if he had the GOOD
OF American summer resorts at heart
more than he wished. Every one, it
seems, who was able to scrape enou oh
money together, has been over here

The close Of The first year of England's
authority over Egyptian aft lirs has set the
newspapers to asking. "Wh has the
government accomplished during her
twelve month suzerajnty?" Judging
from tho summing up in the morning

accomplishing its boast of last year that it
would help the Egyptians to self rule than

A WESTERN TRIP.-A wholesale mer-
chant of New York city, who has just re-
turned from the west, admits that he had
never given that country proper credit for
its spirited enterprise. AS he pissed
through Detroit he was sought out and
offered $50 coffin for 1928, with the deed
of burial lot thrown in, In Chicago a
man offered to kill him for three cents,
and an ice.wagon went square out of its
way to run over him. In indianapolis he
found one of his employees, who admitted
an ENLIGHTENMENT as far back as 1859, and
forced him to take check for principa
and interest. At Mackinaw they took him
for lord crate, $500 per day.; and a.
Cleveland he was taken for a bunko.man
and had to identify himself by telegraph
Had he been of an agricultural turn OF
mind he could have bought 600 acres Of
land of Toledo man for thetrfe of $500
The land was all on the bottom of Lake
Erie, and he would have had no fences to
build nor taxes TO pay. He returns com
pletely charmed with the west. Also,
minus his gold watch.

Senator Culom of Illinois gives it as his
impression that the tariff will be an issue
IN the presidential campaign next year.
He believes the republicans are willing
to make 1t so and that majority of the
democrats in congress will further the

next winter. The republican party, the

DR.. Gregg Of Buffalo, has been boiling
pure tibrlne several hours day for ter
days. He then baked i, slowly in an oven
three hours; next, burned it black and
pu|verizcd it, aud finally treated it with
absolute alcohol. The powder of this
burned mass gave millions of the so-called
spherical bacteria or microcoal, thousands
of them in terula form, or chains, and
hundreds of "bacterium -termo." In com.
pairing these forms under an eighth objec.
tive with those in blood that have been
rotting under warmth three months they
appear identical in every particular. This
the doctor regards as the absolute proof of
all he has claimed about these forms of So
called bacteria in disease being nothing
but granules and pieces of tiorine The
said granues and pieces also show violent
motion under the proper conditions, thus
suggesting their being polarized and
moved by electrical action.

In referring to the recent Goodrich child
murder at Castleton, of which the mother
was suspected but subsequently acquitted.
n Fairhaven correspondent says: The
neghbors all swore that she was a good
and kind mother to the child. The fam
lily all testified to the same thing, and
that there was no i'll feeling between
husband and wife. or between the two
families All the evidence brought out
pointed clearly to the innocence of the
mother. There is only one point to work
on, and that is that the child was mur-
deved by some one familiar nith the
premises. The house is raised about two
feet on stone foundation, with no Gel
lar, so that person could crawl under
the house, open the hatchway and get into
the room where the child lay.-7roy

NEWSPAPER SALARIES IN ENGLAND. -
Literary pay in England varies largely
with place and quality. The leat CT
writers on the Times are generally salaried
men, receiving $4,000 or 50 II year for
three articles II week; but if an outsider
hat is. a man who is not regularly on Inc
staff of the paper-contributed IN article
a column or SO in length, he would not
probably be presented with anything
smaller than check for five guineas The
editorship Of the Times is the big plum of
journalism, Mr.. Chenery. the present
editor, receiving it is said, $4,000 a wear
with free chambers in Sergeant's inn. The
Echo pays 4 guinea each for its articles.
The salary OF Mr.. Arthur Arnold. AS
editor of the Echo during Messrs. Cassell,
Peter 81 Galpln's proprietorslip, was
81 900 year. There are provincial
journals who pay their editors us much
and more than this sum. The Manchester
Guardian. the Sportsman the New Castle
Daily Chronicle and several other leading
daily organs of the provinces pay not less
than fl, 900 year each, and it is likely
one or two of them give more. Mr.
Charles Pebody, recently appointed editor
of the Yorkshire Pest at Leeds, is to
receive fl.O00 IA year for his services
A guinea or II sovereign is the lowest
sum that is given for AN article OF toe
orthodox column IN length by any journal
OF any standing at ali, 1t is the price
that is paid by daily and weekly papers in
London and tho provinces. The Globe
gives Il guinea for what it calls its
turn over article" which gins on
the last column on its first page. The
CITY Press pays its writers at the rate of
guinea a column, while tho DaiLy Chroni
Gle, scorning the obsolete coin, presents its
outside penmen with checks for sums for
work done at the rate of IL pound column.
The Morning Posi- gives two euineas for
leading article, the St. James Gd5ctte
hree, and the Spectator five. Tho literary
beginner is advised to bear in mind that
merit is the only passport to success
to editors may help at times
,ut good work is the only thing that will
Enable one 10 win in the end. An editor

THROW UP Your CHIN.-The whole
secret of standing and walking erect con
sists in keeping the chin we'll away from
your breast. This throws the head up
ward and backward and the shoulders vii
naturally settle backward and in their true
position. Those who stoop in walking
generally look downward. The proper
way is to look straight ahead, upon thu
same level with your eyes, or if you arr
inclined 10 stoop, until that tendency il
overcome look rather above than below
the level. Mountaineers are said to b.
as straight as an arrow" and the reason
is because they are obliged TO look upward
so much. 1t is simply impossible to stoop
in walking if you will heed and practice
this rule. You will notice that all round
shouldered persons carry the chin near tn,
breast and pointed downward.
