TRAVELLING UP TO DATE,

We can go to sleep in London in the rain,
And Wake in giddy Paris-sur-la-Seine,
We can dine with Madam Sara
On the famous Riviera,
And spend the night at Frankfort-on-the-

We can hurry on to Norway if we like,
Or cross the great Sahara on a bike,
Then, without a word of warning,
We can spend tomorrow morning
At HARLEM with a Dutch girl OH a like.
We can c~ircumnayigate the waters blue,
And the Gar Of all t~heI1ussias interview,
And then, desire unjaded,

Or tread the may streets of Timbuctoo.

Or play checkers in a chilly catacomb,
Till at last the only places
Where we haven't shown our faces
Will be the great North Pole-oh, yes,
and home!

ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

An interesting outcome of the opening
of the Soudan by General Kitchener will
be an archaeological uryey Of the re-
gion. The Egyptian government has al
ready appointed as inspector of antiuui-
tier HoWar Garter. who for many years
has been identified with the Egyptian eX-
ploration fund. The appointment of an
Englishman will be specially welcomed
by psychologists and all interested in
the antiquities of the LAM of the Pha-
raohs. as hitherto posts of this charac-
ter have invariably been given to
F~renchmen. Mr.. Garter is at present
engaged at Thebes in completing his
work at the temple for the Egypt ex-
%ploratiOn fund. but it is understood that
this will be his last season there, and
early in the new year he will enter upon
his new duties.

'FriScO'S Coal Famine.

San Francisco, Dec. 3O.-The coal fam.
inc in this city is becoming serious. The
ftoslyn company refuses to supply the
local tradea as all the coal it's boats can
bring for the next two months will be
needed to fill contracts already on hand,
and the trade must do without. There is
more coal to be had at the mines, but
bottoms cannot be found to bring it
here. A few days ago a line of coal carts
over Two blocks in length waited for coal
on the water front. The drivers built
huge fires to protect themselves from the
bitter cold.

SEIZURES
Are Causing Concern In
Great Britain.
A %CONTRABAND OF WAR
Very Much Depends on the Decision
OF the Prize Courts as the Future
of the Empire Is Now at Stake
Lord R0sebery's Letter.

London, Dec. 29.-Lord Rosebery writes
as follows this morning to the Times:
There are disquieting intimations which
appear to point to our government hay
ing treated foodstutfs as c]ontraband of
war. AS this is a matter of supreme inn
%portance, 1 therefore address this line
to you, in the hope that it may elicit an
authoritative statement on the subject"
The Times commenting editonially upon
Lord R~osebery's letter, says: TOO little
is known of the seizuers for any valid in
ference safely to be drawn. An emer-
sency might arise when a certain food
stun would be regarded as contra band.
while others would not, especially if the
latter were intended for non-combatants.
There might, for instance, he reasonable
grounds for treating canned goods as con-
traband and flour as legitimate"
After admitting that it would be UNI
advisable to create a precedent which
might some day be invoked against u.s.
the article concludes as follows: ''While
we fully share the view that no serious
change of policy should occur without co.
gent reasons and ampl consideration, we
can not but ask ourselves whether, in the
event of Great Britain being engaged in a
war, the action, either of the enemy or
even of neutral powers. in a matter upon
which such great divergence of opinion
Still exists. is likely to be governed 10y any
precedent we or any one else may have
set in the past, rather than by the imme-
date interests of the moment"
London, Dec. 30.-Sir Charles Dixie, in
the Daily Chronicle this morning, dis
cusses Great Britain's relation to Delagoa
bay with regard to the food question. He
says: cit would De one of the greatest
follies the country could commit to Gisre-
gard the possibility OF war some day
against a powerful naval C oalition, in
which event it woul be to the interests
of the United States to feed Great Britain.
Great Britain must endorse the present
conditions, possibly doing something by
pressure on the Portuguese officials and
strengthening the British consular staff
at Delagoa bay"

EARNINGS OF PLAYWRIGHTS.
More Than One Native Drama Has
Coined Its Author Over
100000.

Dramatists of established reputation
write plays only upon order. Their or
dinary prepayments are $500 upon the
delivery of scenario and $500 more
upon the completion of play. IF the
finished work does not realize expecta-
tons" writes Franklin Fyles Of The
Theater and Its People" in Ladies
Home Journal, "or if the manager for
any other reason does not desire to put
II on the stage, the money paid is for
feited after certain lapse of time and
the ownership reverts to the author
But If the manager decides to produce
the piece the author receives percent
age of the gross receipts, usually five
per cent, payable weekly, after the
amount previously advanced has been
deducted. Ordinarily it increases with
the amount of money taken in. More
than one native drama has earned $780,.
600 for its author. A dozen have yielded
$4,000 each; three times as many $25,
900 and goodly number 100000"

sheep and soaring the women and chill
dren in Maine township, and a farm
er, who was dead shot, took an after
noon off to hunt the animal. While
passing through blackberry patch, he
found u fat cub, and after short chase,
caught it in his arms. The little fellow
fought and bit until the man cuffed and
ehoked it into subjection, and then the
