CALCUTTA Oct. A.--(special CabIegram
TO The Bee.)-work is to be proceeded with
at once on the new line which recent tele-
grams from India have described as the
Khyber railroad. But 1t is now understood
that although the railway was called the
Khyber railway. that it will not go through
Khyber pass at all. but will follow the
windings of the Kabul river to the Afghan
border
The building of the line is not new
project, it is said. 1t was proposed in the
days of Lord Landsdowne's vice royalty
and its necessity has been recognised ever
since. No menace to Afghanistan Is in
volved in it. On the Contrary. it's value
for protective purposes Is fully .acknowl-
edged by the present Aineer and he will
assist in forwarding it as much as possible.
Practically the new railway win start
from the existing rail head at Jmrud. north

PROTECTION FOR SoUDANESE
New Laws Promulgated Designed to

CAIRO. oct. 21.-CSpecial Cablegram TO
The Bee)-A series of useful enactments
are being framed for the Soudan. The
administration, fortunately in this respect
is wholly untrammeled by the captulations
that hamper legislation in Egypt, while
It is equally Independent Of former codes
since none exists. Some months ago
measure was promulgated by the governor
general regulating the possession Of land
and its transfer, particularly from native
to European owners. The ordinance was
designed to protect the Sudanese land
owner, often ignorant TO the real value
Of his property, from the abuses OCCASION
ally practiced by European spectators.
Several further DEGREES follow this week
These comprise statutes regulating the
rights over waste, forest and other un-
occupied lands; secondly, the demarcation
of boundaries; thirdly, the method of pro-
cedure in land surveys; fourthly. regula-
tons as TO the vagabondage and mendi-
| cancy, and, fifthly, measures for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals. This alone

HOSPITAL IS UNDER BOYCOTT
London Physicians Take steps 20
Coerce Asylum Board 20 change
Policy.

LONDON. Oct. H.--(Special Cablegram to
The Bee .)-What practically amounts to a
boycott has by tacit consent OF the medical
profession in London been declared asainst
the Metropolitan Asylum board. For some
time there has been friction between the
medical officers Of the boards Imbecile asy-
lum at Darenth and certain Of the superior
officials of that asylum The doctors have
frequently complained that their orders
have been overruled by other ofncers to the
prejudice OF the health OF the inmates.
This was rendered possible by the strange
circumstances that the doctors rank as
subordinates while the matron. the steward
and even the clergyman and the schoolmis-
tress rank as principal officers.
The result has been what the doctors re-
gard as an intolerable state OF affairs. and
after Intellectual protests three OF the med
ical officers at Darenth have resigned their
positions.
By way OF forcing a solution OF the
question, which concerns altogether about
seventy doctors in the various establish
ments controlled by tde board. the three
resignng doctors sent a circular letter ex.
planning the situation to the medical pa.
pers and to the London hospitals.
The hospitals showed their sympathy with
the revolving doctors by posting the letter
I'm position where IL would be read by
the medical staffs, and it has been gener'
ally agreed that no one shall apply to tho
asylum board for post until the result Of
a full investigation has been published.
The effect of this situation has been L

advice Of Mr.. Balfour, offered Lord Curzon

declined.
OF court Lord Curzon is only an Irish
peer and he is eligible to sit in the House

nowadays be considered a unique distinc-

Why Japan Won.

Major Louis L. Seaman, who was an
observer Of field and hospital operations
in the Japanese Russian war, and who
has written Interestingly Of the sanitary
and hygienic work Of the Japanese, spoke
to the convention of military surgeons OF
the United States in Detroit last week on
why Japan Won in the Far East"
Japan's success, he said, was due pre-
eminently to three fundamental causes:
first, thorough preparation and orgailiza-
tion for war-such preparation as was
never made before; second, to the simple,
non-irritating, and easily digested ration
of the Japanese troops; and third, to the
brilliant part played by the members Of
the medical profession in the application
of practical sanitation, the stamping out
of preventable diseases in the army
thereby saving its units for the legitimate
purpose of war-the smashing Of the
enemy in the field.
The history Of warfare for centuries
shows that disease has killed so per cent
as compared with 20 per cent. for the total
mortality in conflict, and in the few weeks
Of the Spanish American war more than
10 lives were sacrificed through disease
where one died from bullets. The Japan
ese realized that they must overcome the
silent enemy which heretofore had slain
so out of every 100 that had fallen. Dr.
Seaman said: This record is unparalleled
and unapproached and the medical men
OF the army achieved it. Every hospital
throughout Japan and every base and
field hospital in Manchuria has it's bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratory. Too much cannot
said a do Of
this side of the service. Undoubtedly the
painstaking researches have been the
means of saving thousands of lives by
forestalling possible epidemics, and saving
individual life by prompt determination OF
the trouble No man suffers from tenn
perature but whose blood goes under the
microscope Malaria is malaria and ty-
phoid is typhoid in the Japanese army
Diseases are not guessed at, as they
were in Cuba, the Philippines and South
Africa, where often for a full week the
physicians attempted to diagnose cases
by sleight of hand and trick OF eye"

What Life Insurance Has Done.

AS long as people need an agent to
convince them of the duty Of making
provision for family support. just so long
will the agent exist. and have to be paid
for his work. Eliminate the agent from
the history Of life insurance in the United
States in the last quarter century, and
you may wipe out probably 70 per cent.
of the insurance in force at the present
time. Instead of the magnificent total
Of $l2500. 900. 900 now held by the Amer-
can companies for the protection of the
helpless. 1t is doubtful whether without
the urgent solicitations OF the agent the
amount would be much over three billion
dollars.
The history of companies in other
countries where the purchase OF life in
surance is entirely voluntary gives sup
port to the preceding estimate Had
American companies been conducted on
such a plan the benefit that life insurance
has been to the American home and. ma
tion would have been immeasurably re-
duced.
Because of the labors of the paid agent
in the past widows are today living in

The Morgan horse does not need to be
rehabilitated AL he wants is more eX-

Gator. We want a few more Battells,
Hoffmans, Chambers and Hindses, who
realize that the Morgan is the most de-
srable all-around horse bred and who
will not be looking for mere speed. The
old-time Morgans showed so much speed
that breeders began devoting their at
tention too much to raising horses for
track purposes. But there are today
Morgan sons and daughters which retain
the characteristics Of their noted ances-
tors, and by right handling the breed
may be perpetuated in its full strength
and glory And the place to breed them
is right here in Vermont, where pure

comfort, men are enjoying a peaceful
old age, children are being educated, great
businesses are being carried on, chari-
table institutions are not jammed to
overlooking, and paupers' graves do not
dot the land. For without the agent
thousands of men would have died unin-
sured, and their families would have been
left without provision for the future"
Insurance Press.
There is a good deal of truth in the
above from the Insurance Press despite
the fact that some agents by their per-
sistence become unmitigated nuisances.
The rewards of the successful agents have
been sufficiently large in the past to bring
into the field as solicitors men who ought
never to have troubled the calling. The
agent who will convince one through
sound reasoning fills a useful place in the
world, but the ilk that tell you that they
want to insure you for your own good
are plain, everyday liars.

Several of the state papers are holding
up their hands in shocked sorrow over
the "degeneracy" of the county fair, hav-
ing discovered that there are such things
as drunkenness and shoe-string gambling
at the fairs. Dreadful, of course. But
why pretend that these things are new?
Don't we all know perfectly well that
there have been fools since the world be-
gan and that the county fair has been the
FOOLS favorite opportunity to befuddle
himself with booze and lose his money at
fake gambling games from the time of
the first fair down to date? II we don't
it's because we are new fair-goers. Quite
possibly there is room for reform in the
management of the fairs; but it isn't go
ing to do any good to pretend that the
Objectionable conditions are new ones.
Wilmington Times,
All this may apply to some fairs, but
the accusation is not for general applica-
ton. Fake gambling schemes were pro-
hibited at the recent Valley Fair, as has
been the custom here ever since the fair
was started. There was almost no evil
dence of over Indulgence in liquor among
over $4,000 people, and but two arrests
made for drunkenness and none for other
offences. Several other fairs have proflted
by the experience here and have eliminat-
ed the catch-penny schemes and maintain
ed order There have been some curious
proceedings at Vermont fairs this year,
but perhaps the greatest innovation for
eXpediting business was found at Sheldon,
where a lock-up and court room were
established on the fair ground, and the
grist of drunks ground out in fines when
they were sober enough to be arraigned.

st. Johnsbury has two water supplies,
from the Passumpsic river and from Stiles
pond. The river water has been con-
demned by the state board of health as
1t carries typhoid bacilli. The pond water
is seid TO be harmless, but anyone who
has tried it the past season knows that
it has considerable coloring and strength
and pungency comparable to Limberger
cheese. The company which owns the
pond system has had an examination of
the water made by Dr. II. N Kingford,
professor of bacteriology and pathology
in Dartmouth college. Here is what he
says at one point: "Ther is no question
in my mind but that the origin OF the odor
and taste is from Russells pond, and is
due to anabena and uroglena, a form of
algae which is quite common in water
supplies" st. Johnsburyites should worry
40 longer They know now all about their
scented water.

Up one flight.

If one longs for a noble and harmonious
life, with the resources of taste, intelli-
gence, and culture, with the warmth
which comes into the air of the world
from troops of friends, with such an ex-
ternal ordering of life in estate, house,
furnishings. and social order as shall ex-
press a high minded and generous spirit,
let him prepare his own character for
these great properties To the man of
harmonious nature, fine taste, and kindly
spirit the things which give external life
order, beauty, and dignity are always
coming. If one sets out to acquire these
things and add them to himself, they
generally evade and escape him; they are
not waiting for him, and when he comes
they do not know him. But let him be
in his own spirit what he desires to ex-
press in his belongings. and all these
things shall be added to him; they belong
to him, and, as a rule, they are waiting
for him.
