A Kipling Political Prophecy.

There is curious little sketch in that
collie ction of Kiplng' stories called
MANY Inventions which is not familiar
TO the public, but which has an especial in
terest at this time. It is called ''one
View of the Question:" and it purports
to be a letter from a Mohammedan noble
visiting London to his RaJah. The No
hammedan has been sent 10 England osten-
sihly 70 make some important purchases,
but really to use his eyes and discover
so far as ne can the condition Of things
in the head and center of the empire. His
Observations are very quaint and interest
ing.
One fact which has been commented on
extensively at present is the apparent
coalition OF the Hindoo and Mohammedan
factions against England. The writer of
this letter, being a prince, is invited to
dine at various houses of high repute.
and atone Of the banquets meets Hindoo,
who gives very glib version of the af-
fairs of India. Turning then to the Mo
hammedan and laying a hand upon the
latter's shoulder, he says: Here is one
who is with us, albeit of another faith: he
will bear out what l say" The prince
writes that for the honor of his own land
he preserved placid demeanor, but in his
own dialect said: Take away that hand,
man witnouta father, or / will make thee
rue this dayr' Then to the company, in
English he declared that things were as
the Hindoo had said. He sereneiy adds in
his letter: Sometimes l walk with him
in the streets, that this people may see aud
heed, but when we come to q side street
! bid hirI walk behind me, and that is
sufficient honor
This little episode throws a curious
side light on the coalition.
The letter is occupied chiefly with naive
and shrewd opinions of English society,
and with plans for the future, when 1t is
hoped by the prince thatthe Mohammedans
may be able to use the Hindoos TO help
/ tiltin sutkt Dil OlIC IUlS vi Tie
The thing which he especially notices is
the lack OF unity IN England herself, the
national councils being guided by men
not ali OF one mind, and shaken BY every
! gust Of news. "And all these things" he
concluded, have / seen whom they re-
| gard as wild beast and a spectacle"
Altogether the epistle fmpresses one as
being remarkably clever inside view OF
the English situation in India, and in read
ing 1t one gets a glimpse OF the grave
dangers which Kipling beheld when he
wrote the warning 'Recessional,'' with its
boding refrain:
Lord God of Hosts, be with us vet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget.
Many Inventions" made its appearance
three or four years ago, and some of the
recent Developments in India are virtually
foretold In its pages.

The Feast of AIliance.

Paris, in fact all France, is nearly mad
with delight over the return of President
Faure with the Russian treaty in his
pocket What the alliance really may
mean and involve is pretty much Greek
to Jean Crapeau. To him the understand
lug must be directed against Germany,
or what is the good of it? SO he goes
on singing and shouting TO his souls
content
Across the channel there is not any
singing and shouting because France and
that France found il safer or more con-
venient To join the combination of the
three Emperors thsIn to ally herself with
England against them. In London there
are experienced statesmen whose nights
are sleeplcss because of what this thing
may portend-
British prestige is lost in the East Of
Europe. Lord Salisbury must retire from
his position OF coercion of the Sultan.
England's expulsion from the concert be-
comes complete with the signing OF the
Franoo-Russian alliance. What may hap
pen next is hard to guess at. That great
Turkish army is still III the field, al
though bdul HaInid's treasury has nothing

To such a person the early breakfast

For q person whose forte does not lie in

the efarmers' wives OF this country contribute
an undue proportion OF inmates to insane
asylums, and various causes have been
alleged for the fact, all of which probably
have something to do with it. But when
1t is remembered that most farmers
wives rise anywhere from 4 to 8 in the
morning, winter and summer, it being
considered necessary for the whole house
hold to be up at that time, SO that all
may eat brea kfast together. and when
