AFRIcA's FUTURE.

What win Africa be one hundred
years from now?
Many students of international af-
fairs say it will probably be the most
important agricultural section of the
| earth.
1t takes considerable stretch of the
imagination to believe this-but rail-
ways are revolutionizing the dark con-
tinent at rapid rate. American ma
chinery is proving a good substitute
for the weapons of war-which for
merly demanded attention from the
various tribes.
The projected railway along the
west coast of Africa-to connect with
short steamship route to Brazil
offers another example of what great
possibilities lie before Africa in a
commercial way. 1t is nearer to the
east coast of South America than Eu-
rope or the United states-and will
Inevitably play an important part in
the development of Brazil and Argen-
tina.
Ocean travel-which has been mon
opolized by lines touching at North
Atlantic ports in Europe-is gradually
moving southwark. London must in
evitably lose it's call on South Amer
lean business, and even Lisbon is too
far north to hold this trade indefi-
nitely.
The Panama canal and the insistent
demand for more rapid travel must in
evitably recast transportation routes
both on land and sea.
Railways will doubtless span Africa
from east to west in few years-and
make travel across that continent easy
for persons who desire to tour the
earth by a new and more southern
route.

c. J. Phillips, business agent n Uganda of the Church Missionary so ciety, throws light upon the workings sf the native mind by quoting re narkable letter i'll which native member of tue katikiro's brine minis ter's) party gives description of the Uganda railway,
 'My friend, l can tell you the Euro peans have done marvellous thing t. make the railway and the trains.

 Later there follows description of . ship: Ut Is as deep as our two stO ried house and as wide as the kings road in Mengo. and 1t is as long as from the katikiro'S fence to the gate of the kings inclosure. It kas three tall poles in it and big throat, out of which smoke comes, which is as wide as the new drum in the church at Ma mirembo.

 Business Etiquette.
 When salesman or pcrson seeking business interview presents his card at the entrance to q Chinese mer- chants place of business the possi bility of an audience depends alto sether upon how he deports himself while awaiting tie return of the card bearer. Should he be so indiscreet as to put one foot over the twelve inch calling that intervenes between the step and the doorway no manner of persuasion can prevail upon the mer 'hant to grant him an interview.
 In case he waits patiently in the space allotted to unknown callers this fact is noted. and he is usually ush 'red in.
