The steps that are now being
taken for the formation of an ''Amer-
lean Citizens association for the
protection of innocent Yankees from
the traps of INSCRIPTIONS European
tradesmen and landlords are prob
ably justified. Nevertheless, the ay-
erage American tourist is individuals
~ to blame for the fact that he or

gold mine in disguise. When Amer
leans travelling in Europe learn the
first principles Of economy, they will
not need an organization to protect
them from their own folly. -

Genealogy presents some curious
problems in the case of Nine. Patti
She was born in Madrid, her father
was native of Catania, in Sicily,
and her mother native of Rome.
She was brought up by an American
stepfather in the United States, mar
ried two French husbands before she
settled down in Wales, and is now the
wife of Swedish nobleman. To pre-
vent any difficulty in consequence of
this complex state of affairs in con-
nection with her property she has
taken out letters of naturalization as

however, has caused not the slight
est excitement. He is now looked up-
on not as willy conspirator and
rebel, but as a weak, harmless old
man. The British have been harshly
criticised for their treatment of
Arab, but such criticisms have come
mainly from Britain's enemies. The
punishment was mild compared with
what it would have been had Egyptian

Carrie Merklem, German woman
living in Baltimore, has appealed to the
police of that city for protection from
persons who accuse her of being
witch and who threaten her with bod
lily harm. And this is the twentieth
century! Belief in witchcraft is an
anomaly at the present Gay and in our
country, but probably if the truth
were known larger number of people
believe or half-believe in the old super
stitions than is generally supposed.

If a government should ever become

If government should ever become
bankrupt and go out of business, it's
public property might be sold to pay
its debts. But that can never come
to pass. Should one form of govern
ment be overthrown another is set
up in its place, and the new govern
ment takes possession of all the pow-
ers and property of the old. There
will always be some sort of order and
authority to control nations, and so
the dream of the anarchists, total
abolition of all law and authority, will
never be realized.

The fertility of the Philippines has
frequently been commented upon, and
it has been declared that the islands
produce almost everything that can be
grown. On the list must also be in
cluded typhoons, recent experience
having shown that the latter can be
raised without half trying in Luzon
and adjoining islands. If it were not
for these same typhoons life in the
Philippines would be decidedly more
comfortable.

The action of the London authori-
