LONDON. April iS.-The Cabinet has been
reconstructed, and except in one or two Of
the minor Ministerial posts, which do not
carry with them seats In the Cabinet, the
changes had nearly all been discounted by
tho intelligent anticipation Of the I'M
ohloial Cabinet makers.
The peeraEe conferred upon John Morley
virtually amounts TO a life peerage. for he
has no son. As was 10 be expected Mr.,
Morley desired to retain his surname in his
title, and as there Is already an Earl Of
Morley in the House OF Lords It will be
necessary to add some place name toit as
Lord James Of Hereto d and Lord Court
ney Of Penwith have done in similar orr
cumstances.
To console him for the loss OF the Colonial
Once a mlrquisate was offered to Lord
Elgin, but II is hardly surprising that he
refused It. A step in the peerage would
Ia poor compensation for the loss Of a seat
in the Cabinet.

enoe has brought about an order for the

orbit Of Encke's comet is known TO DO sub
Jet TO perturbations by the attraction OF
certain planets. the difference between the
calculations and the orbit Of the newcomer
was so considerable that doubts presently
arose as TO the identity Of the comet just
observed,
Profs. Baoklund Of PulkoWo and Russin
and Ebell OF the Kiel Observatory have
now published the result Of their exhaustive
investigations, which indicate that Enoke's
comet must have split up into fractions,

A Paris paper records a triumph for the
Kaiser. Alone Of all the ruling sovereigns
Of Europe the Kaiser, 1t says, has not his
head on the stamps Of his dominions.
The opposition Of the divers princes OF
Germany whose territories compose the
German Empire deprives the Kaiser OF

satisfaction at seeing his vignette circulating
around the world. He has done all in his
power to bring bis kinglets into line, and
In 1900 they proposed that each State should
issue It's own stamps, as had been tho GUS
tom prior TO 1870.
The Kaiser was Mortified at the suggestion,
and then an idea occurred TO him to have
Germania on the stamps. The proposal
was accepted, and we learn that Germania
is no other than the Empress herself.
Now, We are told, comes the Kaiser's
triumph, Inc time Tor the present stamps

A mysterious disease has peel raging
In Christiania for the last month. 1t pre-
scented the first symptoms OF acute influenza,
but especially attacked the throat and gen.
orally ended in paralysis Of the limbs.
The doctors at first we're completely
bafled and II took several weeks to trace
the disease to it's source, but now II has
been ascertained that il was caused by
q parasitic Inflammation Of the udder among
a herd Of cow belonging to one Of the prin-
cipal diaries that supply the Norwegian
capital with milk, Experts declare that
the malady is totally different from any
infectious disease known.
They believe II iss purely endemic form Of
illness, favored by the isolated lives led by
the inhabitants Of the Norwegian interior.
Ancient records Of the district Of Telemarken
mention bad throat az a disease that
invariably devastated the country after a
poor harvest, but the nature Of this mysteri-
GUS complaint has never been the subject
OF scientific investigation.
The new milk fever, for so II has been
called. is now abating, but not without
having carried on numerous victims among
all classes OF the community. Among those
attacked with fatal results was Nine.

Christiania, who died the other day.

They wish us 10 remain forever in ignorance.
Our husbands deprive us Of liberty and keep
US confined within four walls.
They take unto themselves women who
please them and have many wives. As for
US, we are condemned TO live in q state OF
continual oppression and In the majority Of
cases TO die q premature death IRON pull
monary or other causes.
The ChAriAt gives us many rights, and
husbands may not look upon strange women
With eyes Of coyetoUsness. Yet the majority
Of them lead a dissolute life and amuse them
selves In restaurants, hotels and other places
Of entertainment.
We realize that we. although Mussulman
women, are also human beings. Mussulman
deputies, II is your duty to demand all
rights for Mussulman women.
You must obtain laws which will safeguard
US from the arbitrariness OF our husband
despots. from oppression and martyrdom-
yes, ~martyrdom. We are the mothers OF the
people. the companions Of men. the education
and progress Of the people lies In our hands
II men do not change their attitude toward No,
let them know that the day will come when
they too will be slaves. and then the whole
Mussulman race will perish,
A paragraph has been going tho rounds
recently which tells how King Edward,
when Prince Of Wales, carried a pony up
stairs at Windsor Castle. The only founda-
ton for the story seems to lie in tho fact that
once two ponies we're carried downstairs at
Windsor, not by the Prince Of Wales, but by
Col. Frank Burnsby.
The Royal Horse Guards were on duty at
Windsor at the time, when somebody In
the regiment became the owner Of two extra
diminutive Shetland ponies. One afternoon
Queen Victoria, who had heard much Of the
ponies, inspected them in the presence Of
the owner and some other officers Of tho
regiment. The inspection over IL was suE-
gested TO walk the little animals up into
Burnaby's rooms, lock them 10 there and
await developments.
Burnaby, the strong man OF the British
Army, in due time found the visitors, dressed
for mess, and when he came downstairs
carried a pony under each arm. And that's
how pony carrying happened at Windsor.
The London cabby does not approve Of
these latter day parliaments. Palace Yard,
outside the House OF Commons, has a stand
for a hundred cabs, but rarely nowadays
are there moro than a dozen waiting there.
An Official Of the House explains 1t in the fol-
lowing way:
Ten years ago the cabs at night would
sometimes fll the yard, and an overflow rank
would stretch right across Westminster
In those days they we're suro OF a
fare. and 1t always paid them TO wait.
Nowadays cabmen shun tho neighbor-
hood. As for the taxioab, you cannot get
one to stay a minute in the yard. It drops
It's fare and 10 on at once.
Our members are walking more, They
take the Underground Railway or an
omnibus, the early rising Of the House

man.
And you must remember that the House

owners and rich merchants. That class is
disappearing, and to many Of our modern
members q cab fare seems an unnecessary
expense that can be saved"

How increased travelling facilities since
the introduction Of steam locomotion have
affected the spread OF influenza is shown by
a comparison Of the path Of the malady
followed in 1SSO-Sl, its first appearance Of
which statistics are available, and the severe
epidemic Of lsse-9O, The figures appear In
a current German review and were COM
billed by Prof. Kuttner, chief physician at
the Virchow Hospital in Berlin,
Prof, Kuttner points out how the rapidity
with which the scourge p~ropagates itself
has grown in proportion to the increased
facilities for intercommunication between
nations and ls exactly equal 10 the swiitest
Of our modern means OF transportation, ex-
press trains and fast ocean liners.
The first information about influenza
comes from Bokhara, central Asia, and it
was there that the epidemic Of 1880 began,
being first noticed among the European
workmen engaged in laying the Turkestan
railroad. The disease has always travelled
from east TO west, spreading from centres.
Both epidemics took exactly eleven months
