Great britain and Zanzibar.

At last slavery has been abolished in
Zanzibar. On April the sultan issued
decree which abolishes the legal
status-incredible as it sounds, we
have actually been enforcing plantation
slavery in the islands ever since we
took possession of them. Compensa-
ton is to be awarded for slaves legally
held, and, If Zanzibar is unable to meet
the expenditure, help is to be given by
England. The clauses as to compen.
sation are said to have made the Arabs
receive the decree without discomfort,
and there is reported to be no proba-
bility of resistance. The Arabs, say the
kilograms, were so cowed by the recent
bombardment that they will not show
fight. 1t is asserted, however, that in
future the greater portion of the Glove
crop will remain unpicked. We doubt
it. If the cloves are worth picking
i. e, will pay for picking owners
will be able to get people to pick them.
We cannot refrain from saying that the
story of our dealings with slavery in
Zanzibar is extremely discreditable.

opinion the foreign office refused to act

same conclusion.
AS a practical illustration, let us
make note of the fact that Maj. Gen.
Miles recently went to Europe at the
expense of the government to investi-
gate the military systems of the old
world. Before starting he drew $4,000
for expenses. How would you like to be
able to go INTO the national treasury
and draw $4,000 for a trip through Eu-
rope and start off, knowing that there
are many other thousands which you
may draw when you need them?
Make note also of the fact that Gen.
Miles paid $500 for palatial apartments
on the steamer which took him across
the ocean. Think OF it. lie spent the
sum of $500 in little more than five
days, and the money was taken out

Have each wagon so taxed, numbered

therefrom placed for the improvement
of country roads in the district where
the taxpayer resides. Should an induce

the latter should be hedged about by
many restrictions. tenderly fostered
and safely deposited during battle
among the baggage animals and the
knights of the hospital. 1t was some
time before he realized that the eX-
pectation of witnessing and describing
a battle was the one thing which pro-
cured him the honor of these gentle
mems company in his camp. One anx-
ious morning. at a time when war was
thought to be imminent, on sending
round to headquarters it appeared that
the general and all his staff had fitted
during the night and had gone no man
would say whittier. No orders had been
left and the guards would allow no one
to pass. Here was case of dire disap-
pointment, but no man may run the
gauntlet of an Albanian guard with
impunity. When the general returned
a joint representation was made and he
was entreated not to allow this kind OF
thing to occur again. He expressed
his penitence and promised timely
warning of any unexpected move.
1t may be interesting TO mention that
Edhem Pasha, the central figure of this
little world. is about As years of age,
though he looks older. He is rather
above middle height and wears short,
thick, black beard, already flecked with
gray. His nose is straight and rather
long, but his most interesting feature
is his gray eyes, which are large and
intelligent. His manner is very at.

and dignity which are not uncommon

The lowered muslins intended for
dresses, blouses and Marie Antoinette
fichus are particularly fine in quality
and exquisite in design and coloring.
Surplice or crossed bodices are very de-
sitable when transparent materials are
used. and fashion is for once consistent
and favors this graceful form of bodice.
When the figure is high, the slightly
bloused front is approved. The dropped
textile should be transparent. In this
case. while giving apparent length to
the waist, the airiness of the material
does not impart an appearance Of thick

The designers of the latest French

cred and dotted muslin dresses have
plain-tinted batiste or lawn for the
foundation skirt and waist lining in
