LONDON, Feb. 21.--Charles Murray
Marling. the prospective British Min
lister to Mexico, is not likely to be
kept there long if the British diplo-
matte traditions are followed. 1t is
considered that one term In Latin
America is the usual service unless d
man happens to have chosen that
part of the world as his special
sphere, and such is not Mr.. Mar
lings case. His liking has been the
near East and it is no secret that he
does not relish the idea of going to
Mexico, but like all officials in the
diplomatic service he cannot very
well decline a promotion to be min
lister when it is offered.
If he finds troublous times in Mex
leo. however, he will not suffer from
inexperience. For nearly twenty-five
years he has served in the Balkans
and Turkey. He is a careful dipio-
mat, and the foreign office feels safe

has not attained any very high Of
flee and is still a councillor of en-
bassy at the age of fifty-one years,
he has scored many successes.
An increasing number of street ac-
cidents caused the London County
| Council to be swamped with demands
that the antiquated ambulance SER
vice of the metropolis be improved.
With the exception of the one square
mile under the jurisdiction of the
city of London, the English capt. al
! has no wheeled ambulances of any
| kind. At certain street corners
! throughout the various boroughs
stretchers are kept in boxes, the keys
to which are in the possession of the
nearest patrolman. In case of acci-
| dent the victim must await until suf-
ficient bearers can be secured to
carry him to hospital.
A peculiar bargain is being struck
by some local governments in Eng
land for the prevention of the spread
of disease. The Manchester city gov
eminent has just agreed to grant a
pension to a woman carrier of en-
, teric germs in return for which she
has given her promise to give up the
keeping of a lodging house. Accord
ing to reports of physicians attached
to the local government board the
landlady was responsible for an cpl
demic of enteric fever among her
1 dodgers, and it was decided to buy
her off with weekly pension.
COPENHAGEN, Feb 21.-Promo-
ton to steamer in the American
service has been promised to Mrs.
Won Bauditz, Denmark's only woman
sea captain, who is now commanding
a vessel running between Russia and
England.
Mrs. Won Bauditz. who is the wife
of a physician, was for long time
interested in yachting as sport and
after passing an examination for a
masters license she took up the sea
as a profession. So adept did she
prove herself that a local shipping
company soon gave her command of
one of it's largest steamers. Captain
Won. Bauditz wears natty uniform
with square cut coat and skirt of the
same material She is the first fe-
male captain in Denmark and she
claims to be the only real feminine
master mariner in the world.
Several American teachers are here
studying the old Danish folk dances
with the idea of substituting them
for gymnastics in girls schools in
America. In this city a big society
has been formed for the preservation
and promotion of Danish national
dances. The movement was so wide
spread that it attracted the attention
of Americans visiting here and re-
suited in the visit of the American
teachers, who express themselves as
delighted with the quaint dances.
The teachers complain that gymnas
tics become very tiresome and boring
to girls, and they believe that the
dances will confer all of the benefits
of the gymnastics and at the same
time be great source of pleasure to
the rtudepts
