some country town and waiting for pa
tients to turn up he booked himself at
the colonial office and was appointed
government medical officer at Sey
chelles in 1873. A year later he was
transferred to Port Louis on the Isle
Of Mauritius and in 1870 was made
chief medical officer for Fiji.
1t was at Fiji he proved himself a
hero. The ship Syria, freighted with
coolies and their families, was wreck
ed on the Nasilai reef. He organized
the relief party and took command Of
it. Repeatedly he swan to the wreck,
returning each time with a man or
woman on his back and sometimes
with a child in addition gripped by it's
clothes between his teeth. In this
way he saved himself ITO less than 70
lives. 1t was feat that only man
Of his immense physical strength as
we'll as courage could have accom-
plished. For this he received the
Clarke gold medal and values it far
higher than the 'K. G.. M. c., G. b."
which he is entitled to tack after his
name.
1t was at Fiji, too, that his talents
as an administrator were first discov-
cred and he was appointed receiver
general of the islands. That opened
up a new career to him and he gave
up doctoring sick folk. In 1888 he
was made administrator Of British
New Guinea. The New Guinea ma
tives are about the worst lot Of saw
ages under the control of the British
crown, most of them regarding it as
waste Of human life to STAY man
without subsequently dining upon
him. But for ten years he ran the
British part of that big island, leaving
a record behind him that is q con-
spicuous example Of what can be &C
complished among the most intracta-
BILE people by a judicious combination
of firmness and moderation.
1t was to Lagos Sir William was
next dispatched as governor and this
post he held for four years, preserving
an even balance Of justice to whites
and blacks and winning the esteem Of
all classes

HER FRIENDS.
Black Nanny Wouldn't Have Her Dogs
Sent to the Pound.

Sent to the Pound.
Among the prisoners taken into a
southern police court the other day
was an old colored woman who had
been arrested for failure to provide
tags for her two dogs. When ques-
toned by the court she answered that
she was old and poor, and had not
been able to get money for the license
tax.
But you know that it is against the
law for dogs to go without tags" the
judge reminded her, land l shall have
to sentence you"
Il know it," she interrupted, hum
bly,. II couldn't help it,
Unless" the judge continued, ''the
dogs are sent to the pound. In that
case you will be dismissed"
But the old woman looked at him,
her wrinkled face full Of distress. II
cahn't do that, l cahn'tp' she cried.
And then she told her story. Her
Gogs were her only friends, her only
protection. They were such beautiful
dogs, and one was named for her hlls
band, and the other one was so know
ing and could stand on his hind legs,
just like man! She could not let
anything happen to her dogs. She
would go to prison herself instead.
There was nothing to do but accept
her decision. The judge reluctantly
pronounced sentence-siX dollars fine
or nine days in the workhouse, and
when the session was over she
marched quietly with the other pris-
oners out to the van. Nobody had the
heart to tell her that before she came
out of the workhouse her dogs would
probably be dead; or if not, that she
would undoubtedly be arrested again.
After all, something might happen. In
police court even more than in other
places, sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof.
Something did happen. A newspaper
reporter got hold of the story, and it
came out in that nights paper. It was
told very badly, not worked up' a.
all; but the American public is quick
to read between the lines, and before
the next morning the money for the
old ''aunty's" release and the tax for
her dogs had been offered many
times over. She who had thought her
dogs her only friends suddenly found
a score of warm hearts at the service
of her need.
1t is pretty story and a not un-
common one. 1t is safe to say that
no case of need is ever made known
to the public that help is not imme-
diately and eagerly offered But re
porters are not always at halel, and
sometimes the friendless ones come to
our very door. Are we as quick to
see them then, or do we wait for 9TH
ers to point the way to us?-Youth'a
Companion.

World Seeks Water Power.

The lesson Of the use Of Niagara
Falls for generating electricity has
been put to worldwide application,
says the New York World Through
out the world falling water, according;
to a paper read before the British AS
ISOLATION by Campbell Ewinton, yields
to mans use an energy equal to 1 ,4S3,
800 horse power, of which Great Brit
ain figures for only 1906 horse power.
The British Aluminium Company
gets 1000 horse power from the falls
Of FOyers and it expects presently to
procure 1900 horse power from Loeb
Leven. The North Wales Electric
Power Company is about to tap Lake
Llydaw, on SnoWdon, and hopes to OBJ
tain $500 horse power for every work
ing day of nine hours. Finally, the
Scotch Water Power Syndicate is peer
ing round in quest of waters that it
can imprison at lofty levels and so
generate electric power. From Loeb
SlOy, 757 feet above Loeb Lomond, it
is going to get 5000 horse power, and
at Ardlui, higher up, it proposes to
get further energy. Even a modest
stream that drops several hundred feet
may be a source of power.

ENGLAND LIKES AMERICAN WAYS

Workshops Revo1utionized by Intro
duction of Methods in Vogue Here.
In a recent report United States
Consul Halstead at Birmingham, En-
gland, thinks he is justified in saying
try is being rebuilt on American sys-
TENS.
II an investigation could be made
OF the establishments in that country
which are now working under Ameri-
can influence in one way or another
the results would be surprising, Mr.
HalStead opines. In the district COW
cred by Consul Halstead he can name
q great number Of Americans who are
at work i'll British shops and who are
engaged in the introduction of Ameri-
can methods.
In number of other cases the shops
are presided over by young men who
have been sent to the United States
and there have absorbed the spirit and
methods Of the American establish
ments. Then again during the last few
years there has been an army of visit
ors to the United States i'm the shape
of delegations from associations of En-
glish manufacturers, all of whom have
brought back some American notions,
while yet reluctant to acknowledge the
leadership of America in this respect.
Mr.. Halstead cites a number of cases
of the importation of American labor
into that country, particularly in the
iron trade, and in some of these cases
the innovation was found to be such
desirable one that the men were the
means of bringing others from the
country around Pittsburg.
The consul adds, however, "as
warning to any adventurous Ameri-
cans who may think all the above
promising, l may say that NO Ameri
can wOrkmen appearing at even those
works would be engaged. If Americans
are wanted in any capacity in any En-
glish industry the employers prefer to
select and import their own men.
