defendant is very much impaired and
that she is laboring under a delusion
to such an extent that she is not

MISS KINGSLEY.
Proposed Memorial at London for thu

Proposed Memorial Mt London for ths
Distinguished Traveller.
The desire has been very widely ex-
pressed among Miss Kingsley's many
friends and among the still larger
number OF those who knew her by her
work, writes our Liverpool corre-
spondent, to establish a permanent
memorial to her, says the London
Chronicle. 1t is in great measure
owing to Miss Kingsley's writings that
so much interest has recently been
taken by the general public in west
Africa, and her researches into native
customs and institutions are unique.
Liverpool, owing to its very large west
African interests, was constantly Wis
tied by Miss Kingsley. Immediately
after her death movement was there
fore set on foot by those merchants to
perpetuate her memory by the con-
struction of small hospital for treat
ing the numerous cases Of tropical dis
eases that are landed daily at that
port. 1t is intended that this hospital
should be associated with the Liver
pool school of tropical medicine. 9th
ers of Miss Kingsley's friends are anx-
ious that a memorial to her should
also be associated with the special
study Of native customs which was her
first object and occupied the greatest
part Of her time and energy, and they
suggest that this work should be car
ried on by the Kingsley Society OF
West Africa, established to stimulate
research and to collect from all the
sources information concerning west
Africa A representative gathering OF
Miss Kingsleys friends in London,
Liverpool and Manchester recently
met in London to discuss the matter,
and it was decided that the memorial
should include both the hospital and
the society, and that an appeal should
be made to the public for support to
both. Contributions for the Mary
Kingsley memorial hospital should be
sent to A. H. Milne, B 10, Exchange
buildings, Liverpool, and for the
Kingsley Society of West Africa to
George Macmillan, St. Martin street.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT WINS.
Bill Before Congress to Suppress
and Punish Hazing.
GUILTY TO BE DISMISSED.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Thc senate
committee on military affairs discussed
the question of hazing at the West
Point military academy, and there was
unanimous expression of opinion in
reprobation of the practice and to the
effect that those guilty of it should be
summarily dealt with. The question
came up in connection with the mill
tary academy bill and it was decided
to incorporate the following provision
in that bill as an amendment:
"Under the direction of the secretary
of war, the superintendent of the
United States military academy shall
make and enforce such rules and reg
ulations as will prevent the practice
of hazing; and any cadet found guilty
of participating in such practice shall
be expelled from the academy and
shall not be reappointed to the corps
of cadets therein nor to the army of
the United States"
lHe queotioh was o"nSh up III WV
suggestion of Senator Warren and
vigorously pressed by him as well as
by Senators Cockrell and Harris.
This action results from two investi-
cations of cases OF hazing at West
Point which both resulted in the death
of the victims; one military investi-
cation which practically whitewashed
the proceedings; the other by con-
gressional committee which pushed the
practice to the raw. The published
reports of the examination of hazers
in the last named investigation has
aroused the whole country, which is
likely to result in radical action by
congress.

GAME MEAT.
Flesh of Much Hunted Animals Is Apt
TO Re Di, eased


The eating of high" game is I'M
doubtedly attended with risk, and the
poisonous effects are probably due to
the toxins produced in the earlier
stages of the putrefactive process. The
advantage, of course, of hanging game
is that the flesh becomes tender and
decidedly more digestible than when
it is quite fresh. The ripening process,
the toxins. 1t has been stated that the
production of the characteristic flavors
of game is related directly to the
amount of sulphureted hydrogen or
sulphur-alcohol set free. but it is
rather repulsive to think that the deli
cate flavor of the game is dependent
upon that invariable product OF de-
composition Of rotten eggs-sulphur-
eted hydrogen. The smell evolved
during cooking of high" game is even
more disgusting. Fresh game some
times sets up mysterious, poisonous
symptoms, which has been attributed
overhunted and fatigued. Fatigue
products, indeed, have been separated
from overturned game, which, when
injected into healthy animal, have
produced marked poisonous effects.
There is no doubt that fatigue prod
ucts under certain circumstances are
also elaborated in the human body and
give rise to a species of self-poisoning,
characteristic symptoms of which are
headache, stupor and gastric and in
testinal pains. The flesh of overrotten
cattle may prove poisonous from the
same cause. This curious formation of
poisonous products in the flesh of ami
mails through a state Of terror or ex-
haustion is a question well worth con-
sidering in relation to the wholesome
ness of animal foods and emphasizes
the importance of Staying animals in
tended for food in the most humane
way.

ARAB PASHA'S EXILE.
The Elderly Leader May Soon Return to
Egypt.

Egypt
Egypt for the Egyptians" was the
slogan of Arab Pasha in 1881, when
he led a rebellion against the govern
ment of Egypt. 1t took the fleets of
two nations and the army of one
Wolseley's-to put down the revolt,
and Arab was exiled to Ceylon for
life. Now it is announced the Khedive
on the forthcoming twenty eighth an
niversary of his accession to power
will pardon Arab, and permit him to
return to his native land. Arab is
about GA years old now, and though his
mother was an Egyptian he claims
descent in the male line from Husseyn,
the youngest son Of Mahomet. He is,
therefore, of family reputed holy by
the Egyptians. He entered the army
of the khedive as private, and soon
rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Then he led the revolt against Turkish
domination, and England and France
combined to help the khedive and
Turkey to suppress the rebellion.
France didn't help much, and Turkey
finally aided Arab, hoping IL he won,
TO control him. The job was left to
England. Admiral Seymour, who now
is in command Of the English feet in
China, bombarded Alexandria, and the
English troops soon occupied the city.
Arab and his army was beaten at Tel
el-Kebir. and he surrendered New
York Press.
