THE SHAH A WEAK RULER.

Has Already BrorghS His Country to tho
Verge OF Dissolution.
London Standards: The new shah Of
Persia is an Indifferent ruler. It was,
for Persia, favorable omen that the
accession to the throne in May, 1896,
after the murder of his father, Nasr-
ed-Din, was effected without riot and
bloodshed. But, after nineteen months
Of rule, Muzaffer- ed-Din seems, by his
extravaganza and weakness, to have
undone all the good that his father did
and brought the state to the verge Of
dissolution. Shiraz, the great city of
southern Persia, appears to have open
ly rejected the governor sent from Te-
heran, and it may be conjectured that
In lsphaha, the true capital; there are
many who would prefer their old gov
error, the ,Zil-es-Sultan, to his younger
and far less competent brother, who Is
now on the throne. The shah's appar-
ent failure was not unexpected. DR..
Wills long ago described him as be-
ing weak both in body and mind, and,
lnougn Mr.. CurZOn some years since
took more favorable view OF the
unknown quantity" which, he thought,
might turn out somewhat of a sur
PRISE" it was generally felt that the
older and more experienced observer
was more likely to be right. But it is
very unfortunate for Persia that Muz-
affer-ed-Din should have failed. His
father was brutal despot in many
ways, but he gave Persia the strong
government which she needs, and
checked every attempt on the part OF
either priests or officials to make them
selves Independent of the central pow
er. A weak, disorganized Persia must
not only be a prey to anarchy but is
also a perpetual temptation to Russia,
and, therefore, a menace to the gen.
eral peace.

Their Capacity for Food Consumption 10
..- Gradually Increasing.
A correspondent of the London
Times, writing on the subject of Brit
ish trade, gives some interesting facts
and figures to prove that the capacity
of Englishmen for food consumption
is gradually increasing. During the
years from 1891 to 1895 the total con-
sumption of meat-home and foreign
combined-was 121 pounds per head,
against an average of 112 pounds for
the four preceding years; the years Of
1896 and 1897 show still further in
crease. OF butter, cheese, eggs, sugar
and tea, taken together, the consump-
ton per head has more than doubled,
