taken as the net weight Of the bales, the figures would have been much larger. Last year the bureau spoke of its estimate of 25s.OO0 bales Iinters (the cotton taken on at the oil miIls), which it has entirely ignored this year. It has also ignored other things which it admitted lass year when it was in danger Of being superseded by the census bureau. It concluded to give the truth, and came very near the crop. It is only two years ago when the bureaus estimate was 100000 bales out Of the way. And in that year, in order not to make it's estimate still more ridiculous than it turned out to be. it figured the net weight os the bale at 4sS pounds Otherwise its estimate would have been out about million and a half bales.
 Of course the growers of crops ought to he favored all they can be legiti- mately, but a government which Is just now setting examples for all the earth shouldn't go to the extent of telling lies for them.

QUEER FORK HosT0S.

Boston, to its shame be it said, isn't treating the boys right, The bosses there have been too busy lately in poor politics to attend to the Frog pond on the Common, and it's surface has been in wretched condition. The Boston Herald thus speaks up for the rights of the boys: It should be immediately flooded so as to provide a better oppor- tunity for the host of young skaters who must depend for their winter sport on the ponds of the Common and Pub lie Garden. Skating is splendid out door exercise, and the boys should be encouraged rather than hindered in using these ponds. We also recom-
 mend to Chairman Emmons, of the Po- lice board, that he instruct the police- men stationed in the vicinity of the Frog pond that they be little more reasonable and lenient in permitting the boys to indulge in sports on the ice. Let him remember that ever since the complaint of the Boston boys to Gover- nor Gage that the British troops had trodden down their snow hills and broken the ice on their skating pond this portion of the Common has been dedicated to such winter. sports.
 This is right talk, and if it doesn't do the business the boys should be melted to get up g demonstration, or revolu- ton, or something, Boston, of all places in the world, should respect the rights of boys Thank goodness, New Haven hasn't sunk so low that it can't flood it's Common for the boys when they want it flooded.

- 7-''7- CHINESE ViNTfD.

In this country they are saying that the Chinese must go, or must not come, but in South Africa they are not talk ing that way. The Transvaal Labor Commission having reported that indus try is crippled by want of laborers and that 12s,634 men are wanted for the min- ing industry alone, the way is paved, It is thought, for the introduction of Chi nese Iaborers. There are not enough Kaffirs to be had and white labor is not available for the mines. stagnation will persist, 1t is argued, unless the inlrni- grafton of Chinese is permitted. Pub lie opinion in South Africa seems to sanction this view, but insists that the Chinese be brought under strict govern inert supervision for definite periods and returned to China at the end of their terms of service. They are not to be permitted to engage in any industry but mining, and are by no means to set- tie in South Africa. The Legislative council is accordingly to frame suitable laws which will restrict the imported Chinese to the work for which they en- gage, secure them fair and just treat llient alla cause their ultimate return to the Flnwery Land.
 China can well spare all the Chinese that will be wanted in South Africa. China has s'teeming' and starving mill lions.

4S ISTER EsTTSG URISKEE.

There are some interesting wrinkles in mission and church work nowadays. One Of the latest is "a sweethearts' parlor," which Rev. James 0. White intends to introduce in his work as su- perintendent of the Union Bethel in Cincinnati. This is the way Rev. MT. White argues: There are many homes in this vicinity in which there are daughters old enough to begin to seek the society of young men,. In many in stances they cannot invite their young sweethearts to their homes, as the homes furnish no suitable accoanmo- dations for entertainment. This forces these girls to meet the young men on the street corners, and associations sometimes result disastrously. l want to give these young women the home accommodations that their parents can- not give, and am going to fit up our parlors here at the Bethel and throw them open as trysting place for these young lovers. They will be made well come here as often as they see fit to en- certain tleeir friends. and I believe the influence for good will be great.
 There can be no doubt that there will be some great influence in the Union Bethel's sweethearts' parlor, and per- haps it will be mainly for good. Any how, the attempt to encourage and reg ulate young love will be interesting.

AS SJRANGE AS FICTION,

Much fault has lately been found with the crop estimates given out by the government of this great and growing country, and, truth to tell, there seems to be some reason for the fault-finding, Especially is there fault found with the report on cotton. It is charged that in order to make the figures favor the farmer the bureau this year divided the production by bales of about 491 pounds net per bale, which is about ten pounds more than the average crop raised. Had it been divided by 4So, which is usually

Colonel Macdonald, who is to con- 1nand the. British expedition to Thibet, is described as a scholarly soldier. He is a native of the North of Scotland, and was a brilliant student at Aberdeen Grammar School and Aberdeen Univer- sity. He has seen considerable service, and as an engineer officer carried out the preliminary survey of the Momba- sat- Uganda railroad. When the rebel lion in Uganda broke out his opportuni- ty came. It was he who brought about the fall of Selin Bey, and saved Ugan- da. Throughout the fighting at Lub- was Hill, where the bullets were fall- ing tflickest, he calmly strolled about, encouraging his men and smoking his pipe. In 1893 he took command of the Juba expedition, and in 1901 he was di- rector of railroads with the Chinese ex- peditionary force.

OWNERS OF BOAT
 HELD RESPONSIBLE

The case of the Newport & Memphis Packet Company vs. Hill, decided by J ldge Triebt last fall, Wss Monda |, affirmed by the United States court of appeals.
 The question involved was one of greatest importance, involving the li- ability of steamboat owner for the assaults committed by captain of the watch on other deck hands. In this case one of the negro rousters was designated as captain of the watch to superintend the other rousters. Hill not working fast enough to suit the captain of the watch, he struck him with spoke, breaking his arm. Hill thereupon sued the owners of the boat for damages and was awarded $400 by Judge Trieber. The owners contended they were not liable for the action of the captain of the watch, as he was merely a fellow-servant this contention being overruled by Judge Trieber, an appeal was taken and the ruling of Judge Trieber affirmed.
 This is the first instance in which an appellate court has passed upon this question and it will serve as precedent in all cases where rousters and deckhands are brutally assaulted by mates and captains of the watch, or other petty boat officers.
