Queen Alexandra is sending pipes to
the British troops in South Africa.
They are said to be very good pipes,
made of briarwood and with amber
tips Queen Victoria, it will be remem-
bered, sent her soldiers in the Trans
wall tin boxes of chocolate as presents
for Christmas. Now, chocolate is very
palatable and nourishing drink, where
a man may loll at his ease after a day
of exercise, or indeed after a day of
loafng. But for downright solace,
pleasure. companionship, enjoyment.
etc. a gallon of hot chocolate is not to
be mentioned in the same breath with
a pipeful of the fragrant weed to a man
on hard soldier duty. Chocolate is a
luxury; tobacco is a necessity to the
seasoned soldier. Visions of extended
empire are to be seen in the clouds Of
smoke puffed upward. But where is
Tommy Atkins smoking tobacco to
come from? Queen Alexandra is giving
him pipe, but nothing to put in it.
The government gives him no ration
of tobacco; and Tommy's pay is not
such as to permit him to blow him
SELF in tobacco smoke to any consid-
cradle extent after liquidating other
expenses. 1t seems to be up to" some
body looking for good press notices in
the Court Journal to furnish the to-
gaoco to be smoked in the Queen Alex
andra pipes.

sistently refused to take part in any

Young minds find ready recognition;
young brains direct and control many
of our most important enterprises. Let
the aspirant for success demonstrate
his fitness and his ambition is certain
to be achieved; let him prove his unit
ness and into the scrap heap he goes.
A scrap heap for worn out or super
seeded machinery; a scrap heap for IDLE
or incompetent men; these make up
the secret of American advancement
and American success.

In the cable dispatches a day or two
ago there was a statement that the
medical fraternity of London were
greatly interested in a we'll authenti-
Gated report of the cure of a person
occupying a high position in the social
world who was suffering from cancer
by means of violets. 1t seems that VIC
let's were soaked for ten or twelve
hours in. water. and the cancer FREE
quently bathed with the liquid thus OBJ
tanned. There may be something in
the violet remedy. but the medical pro-
fession will hardly accept it until i.
has been fully demonstrated that it
has the virtue claimed for it.
But while the violet remedy is only
in the experimental stage the Roetsen
rays remedy. according to DIR. Gilman
of the Hahnemann Medical College of
Chicago, is not. Last Wednesday he
stated that he had treated over fifty
cases at the college, and that he had
not found one that did not yield to
treatment readily. He said: II am of
the belief that the disease can in flu
ture be broken down qui c'Ily and sure
ly, even when treatment does not be-
gin before it is we'll advanced"
1t is said that the treatment is very
simple. The system is kept in a good
condition by the proper kind of nour-
ishment while the Roetgen rays do
their work The light and electricity
poured through the diseased parts de-
stroy the germs and at the same time
stimulate these parts. Cancer is such
a dreadful disease that a sure-enough
cure for it would be a great boon to
humanity.

The Parliament of Australia is dis
cussing and will adopt labor imrni-
grafton restriction law, somewhat SIM
liar to that which obtains in the Unit
ed States. 1t is proposed to prohibit
entry into the country to all of those
who cannot speak a European lam
clude negroes and Asiatics. In this
Australia differs somewhat from us.
We keep out the Asiatics, to be sure,
but we not only protect the negro but
give him as much voice in the govern
rnent as the white man has; and he
even eats dinner with the President.

In most of the states Of the union
the wife deserter is liable to no pen
atty under the law, unless the deserted
wife sues for divorce and the court
grants alimony. But it is different in
Minnesota, under new law. In that
state it is now a felony for a husband to
desert his wife and leave her without
means of support. If he has property
within the jurisdiction of the state au-
thorities such property must be en-
ployed for the relief of the deserted
wife; if he is without property he must
work as a convict under the super
vision of the state, the results of mis-
labor going to the support of the wo-
man. 1t is predicted that the new law
will put a check upon the desertion
of wives in Minnesota.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Journal of Commerce
Ind) says: Manufacturing will be
the making of the South. 1t is not so
much economically as it is socially and
politically, that the South has suffered
from the almost exclusive character of
its agriculture. Cotton mills and iron
furnaces mean more to the South in
other directions than they do as
sources of revenue. 1t is interesting,
therefore, to learn from census bulle-
tins just issued that Arkansas has $780,
100000 of capital in manufactures that
employ over $4,000 persons, and that
Louisiana has $1l3, 900, 900 of manufac-
turing capital and $4,000 wage-earners.
In this state in ten years the amount
of capital invested in manufactures
has Increased 225 per cent. and the
value of products has increased 109
per cent. In Arkansas the value of the
products has just doubled in ten
years.

Life Saving Politeoess.

Patriotism and politeness are great
virtues and a japanese physician, DR..
Aoyama. owes his life to the fact that
he possessed them both in high degree.
he had caught the plague and was
dying for the need Of the food which,
in his delirium, he refused to take.
His nurse was in despair, but finally
conceived the idea Of playing upon his
patriotism by filing glass with liquid
nourishment and then offering to drink
to the health of the mikado.
This was repeated until, ardent
patriot as he was, the doctor felt that
he had honored his sovereign enough.
Then his poiiteness was appealed to,
the nurse proposing toast and re-
preaching the sick man for not joining
in it. In this way the patients strength
was maintained until the delirium sub
sided and he became convalescent.-.

An Ant Fora Pet.

One of the oueerest little pets ever
seen is the tame ant belonging to well
known, scientist. This man keeps tribes
of ants in nests which he has made
himself and feeds them with honey or
sugar through a tube that connects
with the nests. One day he saw that
one of the ants kept coming into the
tube to eat up the honey in the glass
bulb at the end. When he took out the
cork that closed the. bulb. the insect
came to look for the food, and he offer
ed it some honey on the point Of a
needle, says the New York Tribune.
The ant shrank back at first. then
drew nearer, feeling about with its an
tenn@, until it reached the needle.
Soon it learned to take the honey off
its keepers finger. although ants are
among the most tinid Of living things.
and new .odor Or the least movement
outside their nests usually drives these
little insects away.
This ant is now so tame that it quits
the bulb as soon as the cork is removed
and goes to find the honey on the sci
entist's finger. When its meal is over,
it does not try to hurry away, but
