The King aud Queen hi We reviewed the

His Majesty said he was proud to b. colonel
of such men. The Duke Of Connaught,
Prince Arthur of Connau9ht, General Lord
William Spymou', Field Marshal Lord Ro-
berts aud Fle Il Marshal Lord Methlen were
among those VINO participated III the review.
There is no official stntem8ut that Mrs
Pankharst's license has been extended, but
she has not returned to prison. Seventy
policemen guard the house where she IS, IN
Norfolk Square, P~addington. The sutfra-
gettes say that a guard OF women protect
her. and The police would have to pass three
barricudes to reach her. They have supplies
for a month, except water, and state that if
force is attempted, Il repetition Of the Sgd
new Street siege of the Houndsditch murder
ers is threatened. At their weekly meeting
it was stated that Mrs. Pauklurst does not
recognize the license.
Mr.. Franklin, q sutfra8ist and a nephew Of
Mr.. Samuel, Po3tmaster-General who was
imprisoned for outrages, has been released,
beng the first case coming under Mr..
McKennu's recent Act. He was pump fed

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, addressing a
meeting at Tunbridge Wells, in protest
against the burning Of the cricket pavilion,
said those financing female Hooligaus, and
doing nothing else, were more contemplate
than those committing every conceivable
monkey trick except blowing up a blind man
and his dog. II England, he sald, had women
as judges and juries, the present weaknessln

About 10000 of our fellow subj cts live
far away in the North Atlantic on a group
of islands known in English as the Farce
islands. In reality the word islands IS here SUI
perhuous,s since thu uame Farce itself, winch
means Sheep Islands, includes 1t, the nl"e
having been given because sheep thrive
there and sheep-rearin9 is the main oc-
eupation of the people. Between the con-
ditions existing in the Danish West In
dian possessions and those islands there
are striking contrasts, in people, in climate
and in the means of living. We know about
these matters in the West Indies, but can
only road Of them in those distant islands,
where the climate is cold, and where the
people,, who are of scandinavian origin,
live by fishing, fowling among the cliffs,
and raising of sheep, In extent the islands
measure more than 6 times the area Of st.
Croix that they support only a little more
than the total population of our island IS due
to their unfavourable climate Elsewhere in
this issue will be found an account OF II
severe storm which passed over those islands
early in March, doing considerable dam
age in several of them. The "Rendeso"
drumming sea( mentioned is undoubtedly
what is commonly called u heavy swell, and
il. the West Indies is called a ground sea.
The Islands, of which II are inhabited,
mostly lie close together, being separated by
narrow channels. They rise steeply oat Of
the sea in tall cliffs, where numerous sea
birds have their homes, while the tops Of
the islands are comparatively flat and are
destitute of trees. The chief town is
Thorshavn, of which the population is about
1000.
The climate of the islands, though cold, is
not so severe as we might suppose from their
