If your tongue be in good condition
for doing little acrobatic work, try
reading the following word curiosity
aloud. 1t may be familiar to some OF
you, for it is one of the treasures that

Or stick a cross across a stick,
Or stick cross across a cross,

Or stick a crossed stick across a cross

Or cross crossed stick across a cross
Or cross crossed stick across a stick
Or cross a crossed stick across a cross

Would that be an acrostic?

and Canadian statesmen are not indif-
ferent to the value of British Colum-
bian votes. In other words, the Van

The impression deepens throughout
the country that in that Paris award
we were disgracefully outwitted. The
tatiou in saying that the agreement
of 1858 made at Paris was fatally de-
fective as a means for the preServa-
tion Of the seal herds lThe recognition
of pelagic sealing amounted to nothing
less than an open door to the indiscrim-
mate slaughter of seals. This is very
true, and it does rot alter the case that
the United States is not guiltless Of
this promisouous killing. We have been
as guilty as have the Canadians, but
not so largely gamers, because the
Canadians have been more determined
and industrious.
British and American interests ought
to be, and indeed are, on a level in the
preservation of the herds. But not so
with Canada She has no other care
than present gain. She has no terri
tory bordering on the sealing waters,
and she cares not how soon the seals
are blotted out, if her people are the
immediate gamers. England stands in
awe of the Canadians, and weakly SUBJ
mits to their dictation in this matter.
The Times Union Of Jacksonville
takes an extraordinary view of the
question. 1t admits that the seals
when on shore are ours, but claims that
when they go to sea they belong to
whoever first takes them. When we
claim, says our contemporary, that the
Canadians shall be deprived of the
right to thus take seals. we may just
as we'll contend that fish which spawn
In our waters and put to sea shall not
be taken by hook on the ocean by
foreigners.
This is sophistical Our demand is
not that there shall be no taking of
seals in open waters, but that there
shall not be such sealing as will de-
stroy the herds by taking the females
and their newborn calves. What we
ask is that the British enter into an
agreement with us and others inter-
ested in preservation of the herds. by
which pelagic sealing may be reason
ably restricted. We conceive that ia
pan and Russia, as they have sealing
waters joining ours, shall be taken into
the council we have called. To this
England objects and refuses to con-
slider any others as having interest ex-
cept the United States.
Even the Times Union" is con-
strained to say that this is contempt
BILE on the part Of the English. The
reason for the British refusal is OBJ
vious. With but two in the council
they can block all our desires; with
four in the conference England might
be voted down. The "Record-Union
adheres to its old contention, namely
England having no territory on Behrins
Sea. has no more right to agree, coun-
sci or demand regarding sealing in
those waters than the King of South
Sea island group-nor so much But
we have been outvoted on that proposi-
ton. and the Government must take
its medicine.

The Germans are bound to get even"
with the Americans in some way. The
latest discovery of the Government Of
ficers Of Germany is that the wheat
flour we send to that country is adul-
terated with a substance that renders 1t
unfit for food purposes. This substance,
we are told, is corn meal or maize meal.
Now if there could be ANYTHING more
absurd than that, human fancy has not
yet conceived of it. Corn meal will not
mix with flour; it will not make flour;
there would be no possibility of finding
an American such an ass as to attempt
to palm off on any one mixture OF
maize and wheat as it is charged we are
doing But if it could be done, the mix
ture so far from being injurious to
health would be decidedly more digest
ible than fine wheat flour, besides being
exceedingly nutritious. Our German
friends should try again.

been consumed in recent times, and how
little heretofore, since there are plenty
of men not old or gray, or bald, who
remember when no such thing as ap-
pendicitis was heard of. But since our
friends the surgeons have discovered
that the useless vermiform appendix car
be successfully taken out of ones I'm
wards appendicitis has become quite
the rage In all seriousness, it is re-
markable how frequent the affiiction is
in these days. Or is the correct ex-
planation this, that until recent years
the faculty did not recognize the dis
ease, and treated it heretofore as some
thing quite foreign to what it is?

RELIEF FOR DAWSON.
Oakland Times: The Chamber of
Commerce of Portland has been tele-
graphing to the War Department in
Washington asking it to cooperate in
sending the necessary supplies to the
miners at Dawson City. The War De-
partment would. no doubt, be glad to
do this if only the Portland Chamber
of Commerce would solve one little
problem which seems to stand in the
way. That is how the supplies are to
be transported to Dawson during the
winter. When the Portland Chamber
of Commerce asked the War Depart
ment to cooperate. what they really
meant, perhaps. was that it should as
sumo the whole burden and get the
supplies to the place where they are
needed without such assistance
