Bad Luck.

luck last week. Two pages of
the paper were turned into Cpl"

"pi'' was made in a good sized
mud hole. If the reader knows
anything at all what that means
he has some conception of the
conglomerate mess it made. At
first it seemed doubtful if we
could ever get the stuff straight
ened out and cleaned up again,
having no help except the edit
or's wife, but we finally got the
thing shaped up all right, due
perhaps to the generous assist
ance given us by several of our
brother newspaper men to whom
we appealed for a loan of some
of their printers. We shall be
very glad to reciprocate the ia

Economic Questions.

London. England. At the annual
conference OF the Wesleyan adherents,
sitting Ia Wesley chapel Robert W.
Perks. M. p, for Lincolnshire. Thurs.
day presented the important PROPOSE
ton that the time had arrived when
the Wesleyan forces throughout the
world should bind themselves with a
mighty bond and grapple with the
great economic and social questions
Of the day. He suggested the estab-
lishment OF methodist bureaus in all
parts OF the world to deal with the
questions Of emigration and unem-
ployed labor, and to build up a pracu-
cal loan society and savings bank and
other kindred Institutions for mutual
aid.
Mr.. Perks declared that Methodism
is a vast religious Free Masonry with
worldwide riches and resources, only
wanting the proper machinery to be-
come a tremendous confederacy for
mutual self-help.
No action was taken on the PROPOSE
tion thus presented but the conference
was greatly impressed with the pos.

Il have been in succession TO my

not reached my own desire. While
ministers are frequently improper
men and progress is not controlled
by men. the times are contrary to
natural events. A crisis extremely urg-
ent in the life Of the people has aris-
en- and the progress of the state is
more than before imperiled.
Il fear a danger like that that be-
falls a person crossing the ice. For
tunately We have a son endowed by
nature with virtue. brilliant and well
worthy OF being charged with plans
for the development Of the govern
ment TO whom we transfer our inner

ancient times.
Therefore. be it known. that as

a great deal Of wrong. such as grant

that taking the earnings and the
money Invested in railroads as a
whole, there Is not a fair return on the

not right The men who invested their
money are entitled 70 a reasonable

Seoul. Korea. The Japanese
were Sunday night agitated by
"a multiplicity OF reports OF the
oxemporors lntrignes since his alb.
dication July 10. Military anxiety
has been therefore revived by the as.
gravation OF the political situation.
The disturbing factors are first,
the enigmatical presence In Seoul OF
Japanese foreign Minister Hayashi,
whose mission is believed OF the
people TO he the %abdication Of the
former emperor and his removal to
Japan; second, domlcilairy contact
with the emperor and control and
manipulation Of the throne by the
ex-empeTor.

harangued by civilian ~agitators who
take up their stand at the entrances

AntI.TYpheId incubation.

Gen. Lord Kitchener is said TO be
favorably impressed with the value OF
anti-typhoid incubation in the British
army. The evidence as to Its effective
mes in checking enteric fever. as pre-.
sented in the Journal Of the Royal
Army Medical Corps is. indeed, very
strong. The method Of incubation,
which was advocated In 1897 by SIR
A. i. Wright, was first tested on a
large scale in India and Egypt with
encouraging results. u was also
shown that during an epidemic at
Maidstone o one Of the 81 nurses
and attendants who had been inocu.
lated was attacked, whereas there
were Is cases OF typhoid among 12O
nurses who had not been ~inoculated.
The experiments are being continued
in India. to which country $1,000
doses OF the inoculating material
have, up 10 date. been sent 1t has
been found that a second incubation
increases the degree Of immunity.
Lieut.. Luxmoore reports that during
the Meerut epidemic in the Seven.
teenth Lancers. 81 of the SO cases oc-
CURED in soldiers who had not been
inoculated. the other W. being men
who refused TO submit to a second
operation. The Lancet holds that in.
o~culation for typhoid fever must here
after be held as necessary for the pro.
lection Of soldiers as vaccination is
against smallpox. The observations
made during the Meerut epidemic also
emphasize the fact that sanltariGnB
have fixed their attention too much on
water a. a source OF infection. More
recently. the fatal activity Of flies has
received some notice, but there Is a
third way In which the germs are
scattered broadcast-by means Of
dust-Which has heretofore been IN.
enmeiently studied.
