THE GEMAN IN OTHER LANDS.

The success of German diplomacy ill Morocco has turned attention anew to the policy of adventure and aggression which is supposed to underlle the act ivity of Germann statemen in the for eign field. Englishmen especially are inclined to credit the German people with deliberate design to extend the territorial dominion of their empire. While this may be true of the German Government and the men who are promoting the Pan-Germanic move ment, it cannot, be said of the average German or of those who one meets outside their own country and in the backwoods of the world. Whatever has been achieved in colonial expansion of Germany has been gained by the bold and skilful manipulation of events by it's official class, and not by the initia- tive or assistance of private indivi- duals. In this respect one finds wide difference between the Englishman an the German as colopist. When new territory is added to the British em- pire, it is once occupied by British subjects to prospect and develop it's resources, and glad to retain their nationality. Not infrequently they have invaded the region first and re- mained unsatisfied until they have brought about a political tie with the old country and run up the British flags above their heads.
 Tho arNiornOt German nP Tho oil hand, Is never anxious to bring him. self into close relation with his Gov ernment. Unlike the British settler, he does not, as a rule, proceed to his. own colonies. The stream of German i'm migration turns towards countries where political and personal freedom exists to a greater extent than in the fatherland. There are millions of Ger mans in the United States who are Americans in everything but name, and even the names are undergoing rapid process of transformation. Out side of the Union, the largest commu- nifty is domiciled in South America. There are hundreds of thousands in Southern Brazil, where they have built up a splendid commerce.; but it is 8 significant fact that only a few hun dreds have retained their citizenship. In every foreign State and colony iN the tropics they are to be found in considerable numbers.
 If we turn to the German colonies, we find a striking contrast to this state of things. The white people in these countries form mere handful of the total population, and of the whites about two- thirds only are Ger mans. In the whole of the great col- onies in Africa they amount to but a few thousands, while the South Sea proteotorates can only account for several hundreds. ,.
 Why is this? ~ .4 The explanation lies in the char

SOME FINE PROMTSES.

The man who can make two blades of grass grow where none grew before is very properly called a benefactor. And the man who asserts that he can get more flour out of wheat than is now got out of it will be called a benefactor if he can make his talk good The pro- cess is now under examination in Lon- don. The ordinary cylinder or roller mills, now almost universally used throughout Europe and America, give total yield, it is said, of from 68 to "A per cent of the weight of wheat milled. By the new system a total yield of S5 per cent. is produced. Thig is an average increase of 15 per cent. in the yield of flour, or an increase of about twenty-one4 .. loaves of four pounds each in the quantity of bread made from a quarter of wheat. Manifestly this, if true, is, important, but the inventor claims to do much more than this. He asserts that he can produce from English wheat alone an absolutely pure and a more wholesome bread than is obtained by the ordinary baker from more expensive Hours, in- cluding those of the best-known Ameri- can and Hungarian brands Under the existing system of milling and baking in England the bread is made from an admixture of English wheat with for eign wheats, the latter always largely preponderating, frequently to the extent of three to one. This. admixture of foreign wheat adds considerably to the cost of flour as compared with what it would be if English wheat alone were

Most of them make their nests Of dried grass in the meadows, but this week I found nest right on the barn floor.

 More formidab looking tenants are the rats, but they are not the common brown or brown or Norway rats, but black ones, the original native rats of this country. They are probably less courageous that their brown cousins, who have driven them out of most places where formerly they were com mon, but at least they are much pleas anter to look at, not only by reason of their pleasing blue-black color, but because of their more graceful form and movements.
 Lack of space will not permit me to tell of the old grizzled woodchuck who has his burrow beneath the foundations of the barn, or of the cotton-tail rabbit which comes hopping out every even ing his cheek pouches with the seeds of summer apples, which he has been stealing from the orchard across the road.

womAS,s womAN1rr TO MAN.

Man is getting what he deserves from woman. Thus the Woman's Ma tional Socialist convention solemnly said: It is apparent that the capacity of man for maintaining a peaceful government has reached it's natural limit. Therefore be it resolved, That woman, i1erepresentative Of the moth CT principle of the creative force, and consequently endowed with clearer per- ception of divine truth and natural law shall remove the transgression and evolve order out of chaos by institut- ing new constitution, based on free land, thus bringing the Nation into line with the eternal and oenefcent laws of creation.
 So far, so good. and so right, But, with her natural kindness, woman does not leave man without leg to stand on. The address of Madame Euplre- mia Hunt, President General of the National Association of Milliners, deIiv- cred at Chicago, contains this soothing and encouraging hope: Tt Is an un- doubted truth-ona that we must not fail to recognize in all it's fullness-- that every man who has good taste and ideas has the right to choose his oc- cupation in life.''
 So man is going to be allowed to work and to choose his work if he has good taste and ideas. This is 8 concession which will bring the gratitude due it. And if a man has not good taste and ideas he deserves nothing more or bet ter than the slavery that is going to be his under the new regulations.

IS MALARIA DYING :?

Not long ago Maryland doctor dis covered and announced that malaria is decreasing in his State and likely to become extinct. Now Dr. Charles Phelps, health officer of the town of Orange, in this State, talks encourag. ingly about malaria in this region He says that when he came here to live he was thoroughly saturated with the prevalent idea" about the malarial cli- mate of this vicinity, and was convinc- ed that it was unreasonable to expect to escape an attack o2 malaria" for he had been told that every one had ma- laria in this vicinity" But he escaped, and began to study the situation. During the last three years" says Dr. Phelps, "the conclusion has been in- creasingly forced upon me that genu- inc malaria is a rare disease in this vicinity, compared with the popular be- lief of both physicians and laity." Tn his experience he has observed the same malaria in other sections, among the mountains. where it is known as biliousness.
 It is probable that similar discoveries will soon be made in other parts of this country, and before we know it malaria may be extinct in the United States. As nobody has ever known much about 1t, it will be well enough to have it per- ish. There will be enough to learnedly discuss when it is gone.

An English writer tells how lightning sits for it's photograph: Lightning can only be photographed at night. It is also impossible to use any cap or shutter for this work, inasmuch as the eyes do not observe flash of lightning till at least a tenth of a second after it has passed. So that, having focused your camera beforehand, draw the shutter and hold the camera in the di- rection you think the flash will take, and you must trust to the courtesy of the. lightning to be there to time."

The little sausage known as Frank furtesn and "Wiener'' was, according to the Wiener Neua Freie Presse, of- fered for sale for the first time in 1903, and the centennial was observed in Vienna by the Butchers Guild. The in- yentor of the sausage was Johann Lah- ner, who named 1t for its birthplace, Frankfurt. The business founded one hundred years ago by poor man has yielded a fortune to it's various heads. It has always remained in the same family, and is now conducted in Vienna by Franz Lahner, a grandnephew of the original Frankfurter sausage man.

Lieutenant PealT, who expects to
sail from New York early in July for
Cape Breton, Cape York. Cane Sabine

launched at Bucksport Me-, will be
equipped with Il wireless telegraph ap-

ture Of his plans is to be the proposed
establishment of wireless stations at
Cape York and Cape Sabine. by means
of which he hopes to keep in commu-
niration with the world He expects
also to use the wireless system on the
ice. Cape Sabine will be his base of
supplies and the point where the Eski-
mos will join his party. 1t will be
much to his advantage to be able to get
word from there to northern ports and
Order more supplies if he needs them.
His general plan is that of his last ex-
petition. His ship will go into winter
