reached consumption is durable. Ca

FUNERAL COSTLY

London, Aug. 1O--The returned
$202.500 as the cost of the late kings
funeral shows an increase of $4,000
over that of Queen Victoria, the ex-
pense Of which was s197,500. But
the fitting UP of Westminster hall
for the lying in state of Edward VII
cost $4,000 and the expenditure in
cludes also an admiralty charge of
$4,000 for the travelling and subsist-
ence of naval officers and men. Neith-
er of these items were incurred at
the funeral Of Queen Victoria, when
also the sundry expenses amounted
to only $500, as against $12,500 last
May.
In other departments the era of
economy 1naugurated by King Ed
ward shows itself in the reduction OF
$4,000 in the lard stewards account
for the entertainment of royal and
foreign guests. :
Compared with other great state
obsequies those of the late king cost
not one-fifth of the Emperor Williams
in 1888. the expense of which was
$430.000 to the city of Berlin alone
and $550,000 to the imperial treasury
The great Duke of Wellington's funer-
al cost 100000. that of Nelson $780,
600, William Tvs $4,000 and the
prince consort's only $50, 900.

ON THE INCREASE

London Aug. 1o-Mohammedanism
appears to be spreading to a remark
able degree in Nyasaland.
Sir Alfred Sharpe. the governor,
who has just arrived in this country
on leave, states that twenty years
ago when he first knew the country,
Mohammedanism was almost non-ex-
istent except at one or two spots
where it had been brought in by the
Arabs.
Since them," he continued. at has
spread greatly, particularly during the
last eight or ten years.
The Yaos are the tribe who have
taken to Moslem teaching mostly and
in almost every Yao village are
mosque and a Moslem teacher.
"On the other hand. among the
tribes to the west os Lake Nyasa there
is hardly any Mohammedanism. Here
the Scotch missionaries have a strong
hold on the people who have taken
up Christianity with great enthuo-
iasm."
