BRITISH COLONIAL POSSESSIONS

A member of the Royal Geograp-
hical Society writes to the China
Society /:
The British Islands, the central
seat of the empire, possess an area
of 12l, 115 square miles and a popu-
lation of 36, 400, 900, but the colonial
and foreign possessions of the empire
represent an area of land of over
100000 square miles, and popu-
lation of 9,4S5,000. The extent
of the land comprised in the colonial
and foreign possessions S thus
sixty-one times as large as the
central islands of the empire, and a
population Il little more than one
half that of the parent community.
With the addition of India the
empire represented an area of
S,991,254 square miles, and popu-
laton of 315, SS5,00O. With regard
to the revenue and public debt,
while the revenue of the British Isles
was $4,000, OOOl. and the public
debt 100000, 000i., the entire
revenue of the colonial and foreign
possessions, exclusive of India, was
42,O55, O0Ot., or nearly half the
revenue of the British Islands.
The entire debt of the colonial
possessions, exclusive of India, was
1875, 35O,OO0l., or something less
than the fourth part of the debt of
the centre kingdom. The revenue
of India was only 5000, 0OO1. less
than the revenue of the Central
Government, and its debt less than
fourth part of the debt of the
home community. The value of the
trade of the Colonial possessions ex-
elusive of India, was close upon
241, OOO,OOOl., or more than third
part of the value of the home trade.
The value of the trade of India to
the value of the home trade was as
142, 900, OO0l. to 6S5, 0O0,0O0l. Mr..
Service, the Premier of Victoria,
anticipated that in half century
the Australian Colonies will possess
population of $4,000, 900, and in
that sense will constitute second
United States in the southern hem-
sphere. If the present rate of in
crease of these Colonies were con-
tinued, that number would be eN-
ceeded. The population of Great
Britain and Ireland was at the pre-
sent time seven times more than il
was in the Protectorate of Cormwell
But including the inhabitants of the
United States, the number of people
in new lands who have descended
from the old stock in the British
Isles was double that of the humble
which remains in the mother coun
| try.

stance the Chief Justice, sitting on
the authority of the Lieutenant
Governor in council as a Royal Com
missioner and not as the Presiding
Judge of the highest court of the
Province, the question arises as to
whether or nor he may he freely
criticised in the latter capacity.
There does not seem to be any law,
English or Canadian, that protects a
judge from newspaper criticism, ex-
cept when acting under his commits
sion as such, and the Chief Justice
is puzzled over the case. He held II
conference with his three associates
on the Bench privately to-day, and
it is reported that they could not
agree upon the point at issue. Be
lieving that the position it has taken
is tenabe, the free Press has re-
newed the attack, 50 that some
action on the part of the Chief
Justice is Unavoidable S. f.

TO CURE STAMMERINC.

DR.. Dio Lewis in his magazine
gives a rule for the cure of stammer-
ing which is certainly simple enough,
and which the doctor says has cured
three-fourths of all the cases that he
has treated. The stammerer is
made to mark the time in his speech,
just as it is ordinarily done in sing
ing. At first he is to beat on every
syllable. He should begin by read
ing one of the Psalms, striking the
finger on the knee at every word.
"Time can be Marked" says the
doctor, "by striking the finger on
the knee, by hitting the thumb
against the forefinger, or by moving
the large toe in the boot" The
writer believes the worst case OF
suffering can be cured if the victim
read an hour every day, with thor.
ough practice of this remedy, and
observing the same in his converse
ton,

A CURIOUS CASE.
A JUDGE UNABLE TO LEGALLY PROTECT
HIMSELF FROM A NEWSPAPER.
ATTACK.

Winniped, April l8.-A curious
case is occupying the legal and
judicial mind of this city. His
lordship, w. Walbridge, the Chief
Justice of the Court of Queens
Bench, is sitting as Royal Com
missioner investigating the charges
against the Manitoba Premier, and
as such he has been adversely criti-
cised by the Free Press, a news
paper which has printed an editorial
plainly insinuating that the Commits
sioner is favoring the leader of the
Government in his rulings and deci-
sions. 1t frankly asserts the belief
that the Commissioner is moved by
partisan considerations, and that, in
consequence, the inquiry will come
short of public expectation and of
justice. Such comment concerning
the Chief Justices on the Queens
Bench in reference to his or their
judicial acts would be contempt of
court of the most extreme character
and would be punishable by i'm
prisonment without the option of a
fine, and, further, II would be the
duty of the Judge thus criticised to
summon the offending editor before
him and summarily administer such
punishment, but in the present in

RUSSIA AS A MANUFACTURING
COUNTRY.

Russia appears to be losing her
pre-eminence as the granary of
Europe in face of such competing
countries as America and India, but
whether or not she can yet claim to
to be great manufacturing country
may be judged from the fact that,
according to statistics lately COM
piled in the Ministry of Finance,
there are l7,176 large manufactures
and works of all kinds in the fifty
two provinces-an extent of land as
big as the rest of Europe-with not
more than $4,000 work people en-
plOyed.

Widows don't fare so badly in the
matrimonial market as some people

went crazy after widow, and Glib

ridiculous over one. Disraeli mar

day are the Empress Eugene of the
French, Queen Isabella of the
Spanish, and Queen Victoria of the

The Parent OF InsOm MIA.

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness is
in nine cases out of ten dyspeptic stomach.
Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion
interfered with it. The brain and stomach
svmpathize. One of the prominent symptoms
of a weak state of the gastric organs is dis
turbance of the great nerve entrepot, the
BRAN. Invigorate the stomach and YOU re-
store equilibrium to the great centre. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostel
ters stomach Bitters, which is far preferable
to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics,
which, though they may for a time exert a
sopOrific influence on the brain. soon cease to
act, and invariably injure the tone of the
stomach. The Bitter., on the contrary, re-
store activity to the operations of that all i'm
portant organ, and their beneficient influence
is reflected in sound sleep and tranquil state
of the nervous system. A wholesome impe-
tus is likewise given to the action of the liver
and bowels by its use.
