ton in the political world. There is an

undoubtedly inspired by him-of which a
few stray copies have reached England. IL

ports to be written by D'Herissou. IL Is

The artist has sketshed two of them,
because they were in several particu-
lars different from the yachting attire

In spite of the large, loose blouse ard

makers have been cutting, she will
never let the Jolly boat take her aboard
unless the day gives signed, scaled and

The small vest, the belt and the band
about the skirt are of white serge
braided with blue. The rcvers Of the
turnover collar are braided In white,
and the small blue sailor hat has a
straight band of white ribbon with
tie bow at the side.

Tho French Colony of Algcrin.

While a number of the leading European
governments have recently adopted the so
called colaGisl policy rs a means both Of
increasing their national trade and Of pro-
viding an outlet for their people, expert
ences which have recently been brought to
light in France would indicate that a
colonial policy may be an exceedingly ex-
pensive luxury for a nation to adopt.
In n recent debate in the chamber Of
deputies on the government of the colony
of ALGEBRA the calculation was made from
official reports that In tho last forty years
that colony bad cost France, over and
above the income received therefrom, quite
$500, Coz, 900, and what Is more, the annual
costs at The present time are even larger
than in previous years.
1t might be said that these large outgoes
were no more than France was justified in
sending for the purpose Of providing de-
sirable outlet for her people; but, although
Algeria is remarkably fertile country and
offers many opportunities, IL docs not
seem to attract the French colonists. The
total population OF French origin is only
c60, COO, while there arc an equal number of
white people not Of French nationality
These latter have. by the local laws, ex-
emption from taxation granted them that
the French colonist is not accorded, and,
what is more, the rate of taxation upon
the 5000, 600 or more natives is several
times greater than upon the French col
onist or foreign resident.
Tue French will not settle in Algeria rs
colonists, although large numbers visit the
country each year as tourists, which would
seem to prove that unless a nation has an
aptitude for colonization-and this was no
doubt what the French possessed six or
eight generations ago when they settled
Canada-it Is useless for 1t TO spend money
and exhaust an effort in acquiring and at
tempting to develop the waste places on
earth.-Boston Herald.
