Mr.. Labouchere as an arbiter upon questions
OF court etiquette Is sublime. Two OF the
readers Of Truth disputed as to whether mem
bers OF the aristocracy'' should address the
Queen colloquiaily as "ma'am" or madam"
and they referred the matter to Labby. This
is his reply:
why they should agree to abide by my de-
cision 1 do not know. for 1 know no more on
the subject than they do themselves. l have
never had occasion to address her Majesty per-
sonally myself. Ill had. 1 should huvef writ
ton to a ladies' paper for information
as to the etiquette on these occasions.
Looking at the matter, however. by the
light Of nature, 1 should say that as
domestic servants generally address their mis-
tress as 'ma'am' or mum the lords and
ladies of the household would probably ad-
dress the Queen In the same way. On the
other hand, as it Ia usual to address a lady to
whom you are a stranger formally as madam.
l recommend my correspondents tc adopt this
style when they happen to meet the Qneen
casually. It may be that SOM who are better
versed than 1 In court etiquette may be able to
throw further light on this momentous prob
lem. Failing that. L think the best advice L can
give my correspondents is not to quarrel about
how to address the Queen until. at any rate,
there Ia some probability Of their meeting her
Majesty. As they are both out In Burmah. they
are hardly likely to run across her Just at
present" H. r.. {.

Prof. Wardel Stiles. the agricultural and
scientific attache to the Berlin Embassy. has
Just made some important statements concern
ing the alleged triehinous nature Of American
pork. Mr.. Sttles's observations take the form
OF a reply to Herren Muller. q firm OF importers
that sent him a copy Of the 0spreuSsisohe lei
tln0. declaring that recent Investigations show
that half OF the cases Of trichinosis are due to
American pork. and that American pork is
thirty-nine times as dangerous as European
pork.
Prof. Stiles quotes of1clal records showing
that between 1888 and 1891 when the impor-
tation Of American pork was prohibited) SOTO
cases Of triohinosis were reported. or an aver
age OF 442 10 cases annually. During the next
three years there occurred In Germany 173
cases. or an average of 57H cases annually.
This decrease COMEDIES with the reintroductlon
OF American pork. and not a single one Of the
173 cases that occurred In 1924 is R~ttributedlto
American pork In any Of the official or medical
reports at Prot. Stiles's disposal. For the years
1857 the cases reported numbered 615. or an
average OF 17Ih cases annually. Not a single
one Of these cases Is attributed In the reports
consulted to the use OF American pork. These
figures. which form q summary OF German on
clal statistics on trichinosis In men. prove the
falseness OF the Ostprsussische Z~eitun0's state
ments. With regard to the recent outbreak Of
illness among the soldiers at Altoona. which was
attributed to American pork. Mr., Stiles quotes
the medical onieer in charge ut Altoona as fol-
lows:
I'm the opinion OF the medical officers the
cases OF meat poisoning mot trichinosls) were
due to eating FricandeIlen. which were fur
nIRhed ready made and cooked (friedl by the
firm -. As the meat was all consumed. It
could not be definitely determined exactly TO
what meat the sickness was due. All that Is

FAMOUS CHASE AROUND CUBA.
How the Alabama Kept Our officers
and Ships Dancing About.


and Ships Dancing About.
New York Sun.
The chase around the island of Cuba be-
tween the fleets of Sampson and Schley and
the squadron of Admiral CerVera reminds
old navy men of the chase after the Ala
struck Galveston and destroyed the Hat
teras. There Were no boards Of strategy
then, but there was lots of fun among the
admirals and commodores. Commodore H.
II. Bell, who was commanding off Galveston,
saw the Hatteras sink about four miles
away. He at once sent dispatch boat to
Farragut. Then he sent the Brooklyn on
a chase after Semmes, but as Semmes had
about nine knots speed to the Brooklyn's
SO angry when the news came that he Gould
not see. He sent vessel after the Ala
bama, but the latters heels were. too lively.
Then the admirals of three other squad
rons took hand. Dahlgren from Port
Royal, sent the Keystone State around the
west end of Cuba. and Captain Wilkes, Of
squarely in the Windward passage. The
Navy Department got out its special corps
stanoe--and ordered her with all speed to
Porto Rico. The keystone State skirted the
southern coast of Cuba and reported that
the Alabama had put in at Cienfuegos four
days before and that the Keystone State
would take after her Immediately.
The Navy Department promptly ordered
skirt the southern coast. Captain Wilkes,
not knowing that, went after the Keystone
State and passed around the western point.
But he did not see the Keystone State He
did meet the Vanderbilt midway between
Cienfuegos and Santiago. Then Wilkes, be-
ing senior officer, sent Captain Baldwin in
the Vanderbilt to And the Keystone State
while he proceeded on to Maysi Point. Then
somebody told him that the Alabama was at
Porto Rico, and off rushed the San Jacinto
with frantic, but numbering speed
The Vanderbilt found the Keystone State
at Cienfuegos and from there the two de-
cided to journey together. They stopped at
Key West for coal, just as they do now,
then made for jamaica and finally reached
Porto Rico, where they found Captain
Wilkes furious. He had learned a day or
two before that the Alabama had put in at
Martinique, discharged her prisoners from
the Hatteras under Captain Blake, and,
after filling up with coal, had peacefully
sailed away for the Azores and thence for
the Cape of Good Hope.
Much may be said of Cervera's cunning
and resourcefulness in eluding his enemy,
but, after all, Semmes in his day was the
fox Of the deep. He relates in his book that
after that Galveston episode he made a
straight shoot for Martinique, alongside the
north coast of Yucatan and Brazil, and
never once came nearer than 500 miles of
Cuba. and never saw anything in the shape
of sail except now and then fisherman.

George Muller,s Faith in Prayer.

w T. Stead. in Review of Reviews.
Without discussing this further, let US see
how the orphanage came into existence
which was to become so gigantic and con-
spicuous an Illustration of the potency of the
prayer of faith. From what has been al
ready said, it will have been seen that
George Muller had long relied upon answers
to prayer for his financial needs before the
orphanage was started. He found that the
results of relying on prayer as compared
with the regular income which he had given
up were encouragin For every secured
pound which he had sacrificed he received
two or three by the way of prayer. From
the purely financial point of view he had
gained money, hands down. by trusting the
Lord for his own needs. Hence, before he
made the experiment about the orphanage,
he had put his principle to preliminary
test extending over nearly six years. Again
and again his last penny had been spent,
and he had not had a sixpenny-piece in
hand with which to meet the anticipated
visit of the tax collector But time after
time the money always turned up before
it was wanted. In the year 1885, for instance,
e5, sent from a distance Of eighty miles ar
rived just before the collector called for the
taxes. George Muller was always able to
meet every call upon him. He never got

Philadelphia Times.
This inquiry and the answer to it brings
to mind the fact that while all our battle
ships are named for States-for instance,
the Indiana-the torpedo boats are all
named for distinguished naval heroes. You
who read the achievements of these ener-
getic crafts may give but little tnought 10
the significance of the names they bear.
Take the Cushing, for example. The title
it carries and the deeds it has accomplished
should bring to your mind that gallant
Union lieutenant, William Barker Cushing,
a Wisconsin boy, who destroyed the Con-
federate ironclad ram Albemarle on the
nous power had successfully encountered
fleet of United States gunboats and fought
them for several hours without SUSTAINING

river. Gushing declared that he could de-

the river, towing an armed cutter. Not
withstanding the fact that the stream was
guarded with pickets to prevent surprise Use.

covered. Casting off the boat that was IN
post near by, while with a full head OF
steam he drove the launch straight at the
huge bow of the ironclad, whose crew
rushed to quarters and at once opened nre:
howitzer. and was absolutely driven
over a raft. of heavy logs that sur ar
iputian vessel was wounded unto de-
structlon by the Albemarle guns, but
meanwhile Gushing. with unaffected nerves,
had swung the torpedo boom under the
great ships overhang and exploded the
charge The blow was decisive. The Abe
marie sank at her moorings and was never
raised Gushing shouted to his companions
10 look out for themselves, and diving from
his sinking boat swan down the stream
and half a mile below reached the bank IN
an exhausted condition. Subsequently,
after many hours of eXhausting wading
through a dense swamp, he found picket
boat and at II o'clock the following night a
United States gunboat at the mouth or the
Roanoke. OF his brave companions only
one escaped beside himself, the others being
either drowned or captured The fortltude
required during this enterprise is shown py
the fact that Gushing did not expect TO re-
turn alive. for when he set forth upon his
Successful expedition he said laughingiy to

Five times the secretary of the navy Of
dcially commended him, and for the Abe
marIe affair he received the thanks OF con-
gress and was made lieutenant COM
man6er His subsequent career was IN
keening with this act. He was made COM
modore when he was but thirty years OF
ags being the Youngest officer of that rank
in the navy But he overtaxed his strength,
and brain fever seized him for It's prey
when he was but thirty-two years OF age.
A boat that bears name such as TINS
should be nt for any act of courage.
