The barbarian is beginning to take his literary
innings, The Uganda Prime Minister and his
secretary, Ham A1ukasa, visited London at the
time of the coronation and have written book
about their experiences-a book which has been
translated into English by an English clergy
man and provided with introduction by Sir
H H. Johnston. The two visitors were delighted
with King Edwards kindness and admired him
greatly:
When he is among other there is need
ask Which is the Prince? He can be seen
at once to be OF royal blood He has magnificent
chest, which he throws out like lion: his voice
rolls from it like that OF lion. as is the custom
with princes He has very fine beard: which is
nearly white. and which adds to the majesty OF
his appearance: his badness also makes him look
the finer, badness is becoming to large men,
and is therefore very becoming TO him

thing they saw in English society except the

This. however. indicates but feebly the marvellous results produced by the chemical skill of the manufacturers of imitation furs. for Mir. Greener states that the skin of a common rabbit Is chemically treated to represent fur seal and that the skins of common mar mots are converted into Russian sables and sold as such. The pelt of the com mon arctic fox. worth s2.5o. is trans
 formed into a dark brown fox, worth
 from thirty to fifty dollars.
 The manufacture of imitation furs had grown to such large proportions that Commercial Agent Greener report ed to the department of commerce pre-
 vious to the outbreak of the war that genuine furs had declined in price to a point which threatened a panic in the
 fur trade
 The expose which he makes of the manufacture of imitation furs is all
 that is needed, however, to reassure the Iladies. If the war interferes with the trapping of seals, sables and the much coveted dark brown fox they will not
 be deprived of these beautiful furs. Australia and the United States are
 full of rabbits and common marmots, and the dyers will continue to turn out.

THE eorNsNmn nNr oF CHAM.

When Gilbert and Sullivan produced 'The Mikado'' they didn't have in mind our island Of Guam and it's govern ment. and it isn't likely that when the United States government appointed Lieutenant Raymond Stone, U. s. N, to
 govern in Guam it had in mind Gilbert and Sullivans Pooh Bah Yet Lieu- tenant Stone is the proud holder of at least eight separate and distinct offices. He is a prominent figure in the exec utive, as we'll as the judiciary branch l of the civil government, thereby seeing that proper laws are provided and that l they are executed in the correct spirit.
 After presiding over the law-making 1 and law-enforcing departments for a while, Stone takes a hand at collecting government revenues, being at the head 1 of the customs service. In his capacity Works, Stone superintends the con- l struction of public schools, highways and other improvements. All this is done in the role of civilian official. As
 military man, he occupies first rank 1 as acting commandant of the naval station. He is the head of the Depart ment of Yards and Docks and runs the Board of Inspection. Here is a fairly icomplete list of Lieutenant Stones numerous positions ant titles: Insular government, aide to the Governor, and acting Governor at present; judge of ! the Supreme court and head of the judi ciary, Registrar and head of the Depart nent of Civil Registry inspector and collector of customs and chief of the customs service, chief of the Depart ment of Public Works At the naval station he is the aide to the command | ant. and at present acting command
 ant: head of the Department of Yards and Docks and chairman of the Board of Inspection.
 Lieutenant Stone is all right, and will show an admiring world how one man
 can be and do the whole thing.

EIGHT ON DARK QUESTION

The House of Lords has just delivered a decision which involves an important principle. Tho owner of a tenement on one side of a street forty feet wide sought to restrain the owner of the ten ement opposite from raising the height of his house by an addition which would still leave it lower than the com plainant's. He alleged that such rais- ing would darken the ground floor of his house, consisting of a room the whole depth of the house, with no win- dow at the back. It was shown that the back part of this room was too dark to be used for many purposes without artificial light. It was obvious that, as

pEsoouRIGING RUa.

Just as this great. glorious and eom- paratively free country is feeling it's biggest it is rather humiliating for it to have to admit that a little bug is too much for it. And yet the Department of Agriculture doesn't make any headway against the cotton boil weevn. The ex- perts of the department who have been studying the weevil are discouraged by it. It passes from egg to adult in four teen days and pair are capable of producing 184.oOO.oOO new bugs in a sea- son. The scourge is advancing at the rate of five hundred miles a decade and eventually will spread all oyer the cot ton belt. making it necessary to plant double the present acreage to secure a crop equal to what is raised now. The value of the cotton that would be de- stroyed in year by the bugs is esti- mated at s250, 100000 after they have se- cured full possession of the fields. and it : is possible that in transporting seed to other countries the bugs may be car ried. too. and so gradually run all over the cotton growing world.
 And so forth and so on. It certainly looks dark, but sometimes when it looks dark day is about to begin. Perhaps the earth isn't going to be devastated by the cotton boil weeviL Perhaps a good God has so arranged things that even If the Department of Agriculture can't exterminate it it will be exterminated.

som E SHARP TALK,

That is pretty sharp talk which
 American Medicine hands out to whom it may. concern in Philadelphia, and yet If the accepted theory about typhoid fever is correct the talk is none too sharp Since the beginning of the pres- ent year Philadelphia has had over two thousand cases of typhoid. This is looked upon as implying criminal neg |ligence in public officials, since in 1901 England's death rate from typhoid was
 but 155 per 100000, that of Paris S.91, and of Hamburg but .33. Like results could. it is asserted, be got here if hon. lest discharge of public duty were in vogue. Our medical contemporary
 quotes with warm approval the saying that flor every such death some one should be hanged;" but ''the fatalism
 which has from of old dominated the human mind as to disease and death is still inveterate, and it is almost impos-
 sible to arouse the. truer perception that every case of typhoid fever represents,
 in reality, a crime somewhere, and that somebody has been guilty of criminal
 negligence which should be brought home to him. Every case, as we all
 know, is unnecessary. and unnecessary
