THE KINGS

Once Sultan Nushirvan the just, hunt
ing,
Stopped in an open field to take a lunch.
He wanted salt, m to a servant said,
go, get some at the nearest house, but
The price the peasant asks" "Great
king" exclaimed
The servant, thou art lord DER all this
realm;
Why take thep pains to buy a little salt ?''
1T is a little thing" said Nushirvan,
and so at first was all the evil whose
Most monstrous load now presses so the
world.
Were there no little wrongs, mo great
could be.
If I from off a poor mans tree should
pluck
a single apple, straight my slaves would
rob
The whole tree to it's roots; il 1 should
seize
Five eggs, my ministers at once would
snatch
A hundred hens. Therefore strict JUS
tice must
I, even in unimportant acts, observe.
Bring salt; but pay the peasant what he
asks"

HOROSCOPE OF ALL
NATIONS FOR 1900
(By Right Hon. Sir Charles Dixie
Bart, M. P.)

You ask me to give my view of the
international outlook for Europe and
America for the year 1900. The United
States will not, I think, be interfered
with in it's Philippine war. nor we in our
South African war, ard I remain opti-
mist for the moment with regard to the
avoidance of a general or E european con-
1ict, although / am a pessinlist as to the
prospect for a more distant period.
The points where danger nay be per-
ceived for 1900 are, especially. Newfound-
land and Japan. '
There is every reason ia think that the
life of the Emperor of Aus tria may be
prolonged at all events beyond the conn
ing year, and it is at least conceived that
the desire of the Magyars in Hungary
and of the Germans in Aus tria, as we'll
as of the Austro- Hungarian army, to
preserve the fabric of hi empire may
keep things together even after the wise
counsels of the present emperor are lost.
If these great interests hold together,
the Czechs of Bohemia and other dis
sentients will have but little chance in
q civil war.
In Newfoundland legislation which
gives special powers to British naval
officers on the treaty shore to enforce
our treaty. obligations tow ard France,
even by artillery and the removal of any
British subject from the VIII ole length Of
the shore, has been allowed to expire.
Colonial legislation. which lasted many
years, and which was renewed under
pressure for several years in succession,
was not pressed for last autumn. But
the very seriousness of the outlook in
South Africa constitutes a reason why
every effort will probably be made to
prevent any collision between British
settlers and French fish ermen, ven
should we reach the fishing season in
May without the enactment of the usual
law.
Customary orders from the admiralty
to our naval officers may, for example,
De issued, and IL success sful actions
against naval officers are maintained
une damages may be paid by the impe-
rial parliament.

General Cronje, therefore, Is presum-

Yet no one sees how it is humanity pos
