METHOD OF TARIFF REVISION.
By Senator A. J. Beveridge.

We must revise our tariff, and that
Is a big thing; we must do more
We must now make sensible up-to-
date plans for revision, and that Is
bigger thing.
There are nearly 1900 items named
IN our tariff laws, and every year
new articles are put on the market
which are not named, but which are
covered by general terms Of the law.
1t Is plain that just and intelligent
duties cannot be fixed without
knowledge Of the facts upon which

Here is a great waterless region. which means long journeys in search of water, and when it is found. it is almost undrinkable. But such hard ships have their charm and when one looks back on the years spent in the untrodden wilds of South Central Afri- -ca. with nobody but savages for com panions, 1 would quote Captain Nal lano words, that the man who wishes to travel Africa to-day must have the patience of an OK, the endurance of a camel, and the courage of a lion"
 By the end of october I reached the shores of Lake Victoria, Nyanza. one of the largest of all African lakes. from which the Nile takes it's rise. There I embarked and reached Port Florence. the terminus of the Uganda railway Then l went by rail to the coast where l got ship bound for England.

1903, with ? other y,ung men. whc wer mostly hardy picnetrs. having done most If the opening up of that part of the Dark African Continent known as Southern Rhodesia. Our work completed there we were sent north to the country which was then almost unknown above the Zanbesi river, to lay the foundation stone of civilization in these dark lands.
 We set out in bullock wagons. The country traversed being through great forests, we had to cut our way through swamp and sand. over rough and stony ground, battering and ill., using our wagon, causing breakdowns which meant delays of day or two for repairs.
 One night when about 15 miles from the Zambesi river as we lay down to rest with the fine fresh air blowing about our heads, low dis that boom sounded in our ears. 1t was the noise of the great Victoria Falls. In the morning four of us, ac- companied by our natives went off ear ly ahead of the wagon. The day was fine and very clear and as we reach ed a hill we could see low down on the horizon a great cloud, which proceeded from the great cataract Pushing forward we could soon get glimpse of the great Zambesi river through the trees flowing in all it's beauty and sparkling in the sunlight. The roar of the wa ter fall was now deafening. But wend- | ing our way through the thick tropi- cal vegetation. there was the sight | had longed to see, the great Victoria | Falls.
 Right in front of us was stretched g chasm about 400 feet deep and 150 yards across, while the great river about a mile wide flowed on to plunge | into the awful depths sending up vast clouds of spray, as if forced up by some giant hand. But the panorama was sublime. With the beautiful sun light. the falling, curling water, num- ereus little rainbows and islands dot ted along the edge of the great water iall.
 As we walked along the great cliff fresh scenes burst on our view. We came to the narrow gorge from which the whole Zambesi river flows out of the chasm, curling and twisting it's way for so miles until it broadens out again close to what is called the Dew ! il's cataract; one can put your hand into the water and feel the ter rible tug the water gives as it rushes over into the depths beneath. Like the Niagara Falls, the people of Rhodesia intend to harness the Vic toria Falls so that they will be able to have electric power to help and car ry on the industries of the country. Crossing the Zambesia river we have to leave our wagons behind and pro- . ceed by native carriers The country we passed through was rather dry and natives none too friendly. But af- ter a long march of weeks we reached a spot where we built a camp, and from there men were sent out in all directions to explore and prospect the country. This work I carried on for about four years, in which we suffered

This woman says that sick women should not fail to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as she did.
 Mrs. A. Gregory, of 2355 Lawrence St., Denver, Col, writes to Mrs. Pinlzham:
 II was practically an invalid for six years, on account of female troubles. I underwent an operation by the doctors advice, but in few months was worse than before. A friend ad- vised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it restored me to perfect health, such as I have not enjoyed in many years. Any woman suffering as I did with backache, bearing down pains, and periodic pains, should not fail to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
