The story from London that Consue-
10. Duchess of Manchester, saved the
Kings life at dinner on the royal
yacht, by slapping him on the back to
prevent his choking, almost precisely
pe-aiIels what happened to the German
Kaiser few months ago. 1t is not be-
cause they disapprove of their royal SOW
-ereigns, but because they almost super
stitiously revere them, that the average
persons among European subjects fear
to slap King on the back.

According to a scientist not hitherto
especially wooed of fame, in volcanic fire
is the origin of life. OF course no lay
man badly disputes this allegation or
any other from similar source, but so far
as ordinary senses grasp the subject vol
canic fire would seem better adapted to-
producing death.-Philadelp Ledger.

Two reasons are given why King
Manuel of Portugal may abandon his
proposed visit to England. One is that
the Kaiser has grown FESTIVE about it,
because Germany was not included III
the itinerary. The other is that fear

take advantage of the Kings absence
&c assume authority till his return, which
would produce dangerous complications.

He acts as living whole. The cities, as
Spencer viewed them. are big organic CEN

The encouraging fact is announced
from Washington that the plan for the
organization Of a negro anti-tuberculosis
league in the various states, recently
proposed by the United States Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service,
met with prompt response. Tubercnlo-
SIS has been making heavy inroads upon
the colored population of cities, and
league to fight the plague by teaching
sanitary methods of living would sureIy
achieve good results, not only in the re-

zion of the colored people in the CON

The Importance of the irrigation
movement that is represented ill the ma
tional convention now in session at Spo-
kane, Washington, is indicated by the
work that has been done thus far. The
national reclamation act was passed in
1902. At that time the government had
title in sixteen states to total of Co.,
100000 acres of arid land, of which it
was estimated sufficient could be re-
claimed to support 100000 people.
With the projects now under way, the
Reclamation Service will by 1911 have
made fruitful nearly 100000 acres, at
an estimated cost of $70,O0O,OO0. There
are 100000 acres of arid lands sus-
ceptible TO reclamation by irrigation.

own mind, and cannot know the heart
of the man she marTies at that age"
Such is the sage contribution of the
Dowager Countess of Cardigan to a dis
cussion now IN progress in London as to
the ideal age for marriage. The text of
the discussion was the dictum of Miss
May Sutton, who broke her engagement
on the ground that ''no woman should
marry before she is 25." Certainly no
woman and no man should marry before
arriving at physical maturity. This is
reached at different ages by different in
dividuals. AS rule it is a grave error
for people in northern climates to marry
before they are Of legal age.
