land. arranged with his family plan of inform
ing them of his progress and state of health
without putting them 10 the expense of postage
II was managed thus: He carried with him a
number of old newspapers, one of which he put
into the post daily. The postmark and the date
showed his progress. and the state of his health
evinced by the selection of the names
from a list previously agreed upon, with
which the newspaper was franked. Sir
Francis Burdett, / recollecr, denoted
vigorous health Once on the poets
(Coleridge) visit to the lake district, he halted at
the door of wayside inn at the moment when
the rural postman was delivering letter to the
barmaid of the place. On receiving it she turned
it over and over in her hand and then asked the
postage of it. The postmaster demanded one
shilling. Signing deeply. the girl handed the
letter back, saying she was too poor to pay the
required sum. The poet at once offered to pay
the postage and did so. The messenger had
scarcely left the place when the yonng bar.naid
confessed she had learned all that she was likely
to learn from the letter. that she was only prac-
ticing preconceived trick--she and her brother
having agreed that u few hieroglyphics on the
back of the letter should tell her all she wanted
to know, while the letter would contain no writ

a BULL ON THE RAMPAGE.

One of the young bulls for Mr..

the time large crowd in the shed,

was a profoundly wise-looking group
about each animal Shouts and
laughter from the easily ticRled
crowd, in the vicinity of this particu-
lar bull, caused a general movement
in that direction. The brute was
charging about him to the length Of
his tethcr, which was held by few
men. Quicker than it takes to tell
he had pulled the rope out of their
hands and bolted straight through

humanity as then ensued could

PACIFIC LAND GRABBING.

~ EftNS
A short time ago an article from
the Pail MAI Gazette was reprinted
in this paper, which strikingly des-
cribed the land hunger that distresses
the great Powers. 1t showed that
the white man was reaching out
covetous hands for the dark mans
territory all over the world, and that
the white nations were likely to dis
play more eagerness than stateliness
in their rival graspings after the
odds and ends of creation. The
" Australia's - news shows the
scramble for territory to be even
now rather lively among the islands
of the Southern Pacific. Great
Britain's hesitation to comply with
the Colonial demand for the anneXa-
ton of New Guinea is likely TO
cause her the loss of much territory
that must ultimately have dropped
naturally into the lap of her Empire,
were it not for tllc appetite for
colonial possession suddenly devel-
oped by the other Powers. 1t was
fear of French acquisition in that
quarter that moved the Colonies at
first in the New Guinea annexation
project, but it is action by Germany
which has now disturbed Australia
sion equanimity. Germany has
formally established protectorate
over the northern portion of New
Guinea and the islands of New
Britain, New Ireland, New Hanover
and the Admiralty group. Samoa
and Tonga are also said to be in
Germany's acquisitive eye. In the
meantime Maior-Gcneral Scratchley,
British High Commissioner for New
Guinea, has arrived in Melbourne,
with Instructions to invite the Colo
nies to increase their contributions
toward the cost of the New Guinea
Protectorate, while the Imperial
Government undertakes not to cX
pend more annually than the amount
contributed under the regulations
for the government of British terri
tory in New Guinea. Trade will be
permitted in all articles of com
merce, except firearms and eXplo-
sives. Land sales will take place
under direct official supervision, and
measures will he adopted to impede
native labor traffic. A telegram from
Lord Derby to. the Victoria Govern.
ment says that the annexation by Ger.
many is not the result of any concert
between the German and Englisl
Governments, and that the Imperia
Government is now in communication
with Germany on the matter. Lore
Derby adds that the British Protec
torate now includes considerabl
section of the northeastern part o
New Guinea, besides the Louisiad
Archipelago, Woodlark, D'Encast
reux, and other important islands
