recent traveller in Somailand gives the following curious incident showing the Mohammedan hatred for pigs. "Wa shot two wart hogs. one a particularly biz boar. Alan wished to keep The tnsts but, of course, none of the SomaIis would touch the unclean animal A, last bribe of two rupees induced inc Midgan woman to chop the tusks out With a hatchet. Even then she would not touch them, and with the heln of two sticks, which she used like nair Of tongs. put them on a camel. Then there was a long dispute about the hatchet- No one would touch it: il had been defiled. Of course. this was pure affectation and playing to the gallery on the ayah's part. Al home with her na- tive tribe she would have gorged all the pig she could get. But it flattered the Somalis, and we marched off. the ayah holding the hatchet at arms length as II 1t were going to bite heI."

1he British Public Seem Disposed to Accept It or Reject It On
 Its Merits.
NII1UDE OF THE COLONIES
 THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR.
Ina mberInin's Critics CIniIn That Hts Whole Diagnosis Of thc Pres eut State of Trade In the United Kingdom Hangs On a Statistical 1Iunder.

Eondon, Oct S.-While there is no sfdenee of rush on the part of the
 rsonents of public opinion or of the zssctorate to give Joseph Chamber sta's fiscal proposlas imemdiate in fsssement. there is ample proof of a fEstre exhaustively to examine his programme and accept or reJeet 1t on Is merits. rather than on party lines.
 1t is realized that the attitude of the ssIfsuies is probably the most impor- Tut factor in his scheme. and what ssey will say to his statement that they lss prepared to contribute toward i'm JSrial preferential trade will largely determine the ultimate decision of this ssuntry. The critics of the former sec r7ztary for the colonies claim that his ghoIe diagnosis of .he present state sf the trade of the United Kingdom Hangs on a statistical blunder iE the comparison of the exports of 1902 with hose of 1872. The latter year was mo- rrfously phenomenal as <an export fszr, because of the requirements of ssrmany and France after the war be. swsen those two countries. and 1t is pointed out that Great Britain fur :rfshed the great bulk of these, and that aer exports. consequently, bounded up aom 5.0o0,000, Ia 1871. to $l ,2S0,- lseo GOO in 1872, after which they grad ssfly recedded to the same total as in Ps7f. It is therefore contended by the srftics that the whole fabric of Mir gtamberlasn's argument is based on sa elementary error, and that while his fiscal arithmetic Is illogical. his promises are hypothetical and un- ysoved It is anticipated that tho col cuies will resent Mir: Chamberlain s suggestion that their colonial manu- saeturing growth should he thwarted Ger the benefit of British manufa ctur- srs. On the whole, the former colonial secretary's pronouncement is not unfa- yorably received. On the stock ex- change the various departments opened with better all-round tone. Consols Hardened.
