London, Aug. S-"The Daily Mail" this morn

cials of the Board of Trade and Of the Treasury
have unanimously advised against the adoption
of Mr. Chamberlain's proposals for giving the
British colonies preferences. based on the taxa

This is practically the end of the inquiry to
which Premier Balfour frequently referred and
the decision may be expected to have the great

RUSSIAN LABOR RIOTS.
T7cO Thousand Reported WOunded
at Various T'Ozcns.

London, Aug. S.-"The Times" prints a dis
patch from Kieff, dated Thursday, which says
that the dsaffection among the workingmen is
widening and that disturbances have occurred
at Kharkoff, Ikaterinoslaff and other centres.
Sangunary conflicts were reported on Wednes-
day and Thursday at Nikolaief, in which the
troops fired. killing twelve outright and wound
ing two hundred. The Governor was seriously
wounded, and the correspondent says that troops
are being hurried to Nikoaieff and other dis
affected centres with all speed.
Work a vast area is stagnant, and the
situation is becoming dangerous, the anti-gov-
ernment party being furnished with an excellent
handle for their whip by the military rgors
shown in the suppression of the right of free
speech. The correspondent computes that in
July in various parts OF Russia two hundred
strikers were killed outright and fully two thou
sand seriously wounded, and says it is agreed
on all hands that NJ. Won Plehve has labor
problem which will tax all his strength A con-
siderable portion of industrial Russia is al
ready in a condition bordering upon wholesale
anarchy.
The Morning Leaders, Odessa correspondent
asserts that NJ. Plehve, Russian Minister of
the Interior, has availed himself of the labor
troubles to institute system of wholesale ar
rests of political suspects by the secret police
in all Russian industrial centres and that six
hundred were arrested at Odessa alone.
The Standard" in a dispatch describing the
riots at Nkolaieff. says that twenty were killed
and sixty wounded, a police officer mortally.
The Governor sustained a scalp wound. All
bread and provisions were bought up the pre-
vious evening, and it is believed the outbreak
was preconcerted. The tramcars were stopped
and overturned, and a desperate attack was
made on the governments spirit depot. the mob
literally hurting itself upon the bayonets of the
military guard. 1t was here that the most fatal
tiles occurred. Half a battalion of Cossacks,
summoned from Odessa, helped to suppress the
tumult. Although roughly handled and wound
ed, the Governor. with praiseworthy restraint,
declined to permit the troops to fire.
The Franco Belgian works closed, throw
ing five thousand men out of work. The port is
now under effective control by the local author

A traveller writes: Il have often been
struck by the ease with which people
in southern Europe are amused. In
Paris 100000 people go out to Long
champs for the Grand Prix race and
half a million people go out and line
the roads on their return to see them
come back. In Rome at the feast Of the
"Divino Amore" 5000 people 60 out on
the Campasna to q spot where once
stood a temple to Venus and hold q
picnic, while $4,000 90 out and line the
Appian way to see them return. In
Madrid this peculiarly is even nor
marked. On the Puerta lei Sol about a
thousand people stand around and do
nothing outdoors, while crowds of PEG
pie sit indoors or lean from balconies to
watch them dc IT. And I'm Seville the
ole rich sit in clubs and cafes on the
Sierpes to watch the lower classes walk
by. while the lower classes walk by to
watch the idle rich sitting in the clubs
and cafes on the S%ierpes."

Reading the bible.

How long will it take a person to
read the Old Testament, with it's 592,-
439 words, or the 1871 ,253 words of the
New Testament? And how long to
read the TIA. 692 words of both?
A man can read Understandings 100
words every minute. BY hurrying a
man can read 100 words, or probably
more. l will assume that a man can
read critically-that is, carefully and
understandingly-at least sixty words
a minute. That is slow reading, being
only 1900 words an hour. Suppose a
man should devote an hour a day to
the Bible.
AT this rate he would read 1OS,OOO
words in thirty days, or in a months
time. He would therefore read the
Old Testament in less than six months.
and he would finish the New Tesla
ment in less than two months.

SHAVING In Ervpt.

The earliest reference to sha wing of
the beard Is found in Genesis XII. IA,
where we read that Joseph on being
summoned before the king shaved
himself. There are several references
as to shaving in Leviticus, and the
practice Is alluded to In many other
parts of the Bible. However, Egypt
is the only country mentioned in the
Bible where shaving was practiced.
In all other countries at that time
tuch an act would have been consid.
cred ignominious. Herodotus men
ions that he Egyptians allowed their
boards to grow when they were in
mourning. SO particular were they as
to shaving at all other times that to
have neglected it was to make one
self the butt Of course and ridiculous
jokes.
Even in this day and age when the
Egyptian wants TO convey the idea
Of a man Of low condition and sloven-
~ habits he always pictures to you
a man with a full beard. This notion
is very ancient, a fact attested by
works of art found in burial monu-
ments dating back thousands of years.
