There are almost as many kinds of
parliament as there are races which
elect them. Some are amazingly an

while others are as go-ahead as it is
possible to be. On the continent. how
ever, more or less of q family likeness
exists between the parliaments of the
various great powers, though in the
lesser states there are many interest
ing and distinctive methods OF govern
ment. One of the most remarkable in
stances Of these existing today is the

Glarus, in Switzerland. The govern

is more absolute than in that of Gla-

6be Chinese IndemnifX.

The international committee on in
demnity at Pekin has reported in ia
vor of a total of 1928 100000. Large
as is this bill of damages which China
must pay for the Boxer riots, it is con-
sidered smaller than some Of the Eu-
ropean powers were at first inclined
to demand. Credit for this reduction
must be given to the United States.
When the other powers were pressing
claims amounting to a total of $780,
100000 the Americans urged that one
half or One-quarter Of that sum ought
to be sufficient

requested to take a seat in the cabi-
net, everything points to him as the
future minister of state for the two
countries. Dr. Herslow is the editor
in-chief of Sydsvenska Dagliga Snail
poten, one of the leading newspapers
in Sweden, and it is the first time in
the history of Sweden that a man
from this profession will occupy the
high position OF a cabinet minister,
a convincing proof of the progress of
democratic ideas in Sweden. For sew
eral years DR.. Herslow was the speak
err of the second chamber, and has
long been considered the leading
statesman of Sweden. His platform,
"a just division of citizens privileges
and duties and the right to offer his
life for his country as a soldier should
also be accompanied with the right
to VOTE" has made him the idol Of the
Swedish people.

If the question were asked, why do
the rhinoceri grow their horns upon
the nose, instead of on the head, like
other animals? the answer would PROB
ably be that they require them for root
digging and such like purposes as we'll
as for war, and the nasal position rem
ders them more generally useful than
If they were fixed on the top Of the
skull At present the rhinoceros is
the only quadruped which has horn
of this kind but study of fossil NAM
mails shows that he is the sole sur
vivor of avast number of creatures
whose natural weapons were built on
the same general plan. In fact, in the
days of the rhinoceros' early forefath-
ers horns of this kind were probably
much more common than those such
as we see on the heads Of oxen. an
telopes and sheep. In the course of
ages the fashion in wearing horns has
undergone a radical change, but the
rhinoceros who is essentially a con-
sentative beast, has stuck to the older

M Profanity in This.

There is no profanity in saying that
any certain thing g is not worth a tin
ker's DAM" although it is so cOnsid-
cred by many. The expression origi-
mated many years ago, when tinkerlng
or mending leaky tin vessels was much
cruder than it is now. In former times
the use Of rosin to check the flow Of
solder when placed on tin was not gen.
orally understood-at least by the row
ing thinkers. When one Of these gen.
tlenlen of the road found a job, such as
mending a wash boiler or other tin
household utensil, he would get from
the house wife or domestic a piece Of
soft dough. With this he would build
a dam around the place where he in
tended to put his solder. Inside of the
circle thus formed he poured the melt
ed lead. When the metal had cooled
he would brush away the dam Of
dough that had confined it to the de-
sired limits The hea. lad hardened
the heavy paste and baked it thor
oughly. so it was absolutely of no use
for anything else. 1t became one OF
the most useless things in the world,
and there was not enough OF 1t, even,
to be worth while carrying to the pigs.
Hence the expression, which was origi-
nally intended to convey certain idea,
appears to have been retained, while
the origin is not generally known

White Ants in Rhodesia.

w
An interesting description of the
ravages of white ants, or termites, in
Rhodesia is furnished by Rev. A. Lee
boeuf to the Zambesi Mission Record

the contribution centers in the account
of the damage done to property by
white ants in RhOdesia, which seems
to be even greater than in India. It is
no uncommon thing, says the writer.

hanging on a nail of his cottage wall
and the books on the table absolutely
destroyed by these tiny marauders.
Nor is this all. con awakening next
morning" writes Mr.. Leboeuf, 'yOu
are astonished to see in the dim light
a cone-shaped object rising from the
brick floor a short distance from your
bed. with two holes on the top like the
crater of a miniature volcano. On
closer examination you discover that
the holes have just the size and shape
of the inside of your boot, which you
incautiously left on the brick floor the
night before. They have given form
and proportion to an ant heap, and
nothing is left Of them except the
nails, eyelets and, may be, part of the
heels" And as the same dismal story
with variations-ha to be told
about every other article Of apparel
and all perishable objects, it must be
admitted that there are drawbacks to

An English paper, whose wish is
evidently parent to the thought, says
that the German emperor is preparing
for war on the Monroe doctrine. He
wants South America, and he wants it
had. For this he is building a giant
navy and in fancy he already hears
the thunder OF his guns as they rock
OF the mighty deep. A Paris paper
laughs at the idea and then says:
1.-THE German navy is yet young,
while the Monroe doctrine is hoary
with age. And the kaiser Is young
yet, and youth will have its fling.
Let the kaiser build his navy and aim
its cannon at the Monroe doctrine.
When he does there will be war, and
war on a generous and satisfying
scale. And when the war Is over the
kaiser will have a chance to sit down
and figure up his assets and liabili-
ties. among which assets should not
be forgotten the title Of war lord"
Meanwhile, the United States Of Am
erica will continue to do business at
the old stand, and Incidentally may
have q little navy OF their own, which
fact should not be lost sight Of by
