Kingdom of Hanover.

One hundred years ago the electo-
rate of Hanover, in northwestern Ger
many. was erected into a kingdom,
with King George III of England as
occupant of the throne. For many
years thereafter the monarchs of
Great Britain continued to be the
rulers of Hanover. Upon the success
sion of William " the Hanover title
went to the second son of George w,
duke of Cumberland, as, under the
Salic law, Victoria was debarred from
the succession in Hanover. In 1866
the kingdom OF Hanover was abol-
ished by Prussia and the reigning
family retained the title of dukes of
Cumberland alone. They were also
heirs to the duchy of Brunswick, but
as they would not surrender their
claim to the kingdom of Hanover they
were estopped by Prussia from oc-
cupying the duchy until a compare
lively recent date, when the young
duke of Brunswick married the daugh-
ter of the German emperor and was
allowed to resume his position as the
reigning duke of Brunswick.

BALANCE KEPT BY MATURE
Increase of the Human Race Seems to
Be Regulated by Wars and
Other Devastations.

Every year, according to scientists
who attempt TO keep the general rec
ords, at least 100000 human beings
are born on this earth and 60.000,00O
or 100000 die This indicates
daily birth rate of about 100000 and
a death rate of 100000 The daily
increase in population therefore is
about 10000 The total population of
the globe is estimated at 1900, 00C 900.
The ravages of war do little to i'm
pede the increase. Far more effective
have been the upheavals of nature.
The Franco russian war killed about
10000 in seven months. The death
roll of the Russo-Japanese reached
about 100000. A single earthquake
(1737. in India has been estimated to
have caused 100000 deaths. The "a.
talities of the Messina earthquake in
1908 cannot have been far short Of
100000 A tidal wave in 1896 drowned
$1,000 persons in Japan, causing a
greater loss uf life than the whole
war with China in 1894. The earth
quake in Japan in 1908 is said to have
killed 100000 people. The Lisbon
earthquake in 1855 destroyed $4,000
human lives. while 10000 we're lost in

The fact that Canada offers such a
splendid opportunity should be ac-
cepted with widespread apprecia
ton, and not met with attempts on
the part of some to spread misleading
statements. The Dominion Govern.

many of the false statements eircu.

but in order to correct a highly err
roneous impression that CONSUMPTION
IS carried on in Canada, that compul-
sorry military service is employed, and
that there is restraint as to the move
ment of those not Canadians, the ne
cessity is felt of giving as much pub
licity as possible to a denial of these
statements.
An item to which special exception
is taken, is one which says:

rapidly as possible; but the young

ada. All the citizens, and those who
have taken out homesteads are subject
to military duty"
In direct refutation of this, we beg
to quote from recent editorial in the
/ Rochester, ~ Y. Herald:
There is no legal process by which
Great Britain can command a single
Canadian soldier to enter the field in
her aid or even in her most needful
defense. Great Britain cannot legally
take dollar of Canada's money for
this or any other war without Can
ada's consent All must he given vol
UNFAIRLY, If it be given at all. Yet
men and dollars are given to the limit
of Canadas power to give, just as il
Great Britain had both physical and
legal power to exact them Indeed
it is possible that they are giving
more freely in this way, for what a
man gives because he wants to give
is likely to be greater than what he
gives under force.
AN in all it is a noble picture OF
devotion to her motherland which
Canada offers to the gaze of her ad
miring and envious neighbors."
Canada's invitation for immigration
extends to all who are willing to GO
ON to the farms.

stringency has been forced on almost
every community. 1t is not only be-

the terrible loss of hfe, the great de-

entire world goes out in sympathy to
those within the area of the trouble.
Arrangements have been made to re-
lieve the distress by money and other
means. But there is one great thing

countries will need The wheat-pro-
ducing countries are no longer pro-

fully as beneficial and charitable to
make provision to meet the loss of
Europe's grain crop by encouraging a
greatly increased growth on this con-
tinent.
The wheat-growing sections of the
United States have about reached
their limit of production, and this
source cannot be depended upon to
meet a great deal of the demand that
there will be for some years. The

~ q Germans may lose Kiauchaus

is causing so much trouble In

before Kiauchau will lose the
'made-in-Germany' mark, with which

The speaker was Mrs. Nicholson,
wife of Rear Admiral Reginald f.

mand of the Asiatic squadron, who has

When the Germans took Tsing-Tau
after the Boxer troubles-on 99-year
tease, with the proviso that it should
be returned to China on payment of
the money expended-they calmly
picked up the Chinese population bag

the sea some three miles and pro-

concrete houses and all modern inn

Chinese took to it kindly, too, after
the first shock had passed, decided
that cleanliness was excellent policy

with personal liberty, or polite prac-
tees, such as foot binding and the

Strange Street Costumes.
If you want to see extraordinary
street costumes you should see the
streets of Shanghai since the revolu-
ton. About half the men wear Euro
pean clothes of strange and hybrid
breed; the rest are In the beautiful
native costume, but many with any
scrt of hat from silk tile to Jockey

or eighteen are trotting about and
their regular costume consists of a
short gayly embroidered mandarin
coat, reaching about to the hips; skim
tight trousers of satin, light blue or
pink, with black patent leather pumps.
Their hair they wear braided and

When the American feet went
round the world about six or seven
years ago Admiral Nicholson, then
captain, commanded one of the ships.
His wife followed the fleet and it was
then that she first went to China.
Their last visit began something more
than two years ago, when Admiral
&NASIOA0On was OldCl GU W ldhG NOl4i-
mand of the Asiatic squadron, and on
this trip Mrs. Nicholson spent almost
the entire time in China. The Chi
nese revolutionary troubles kept the
fleet in the neighborhood of Shanghai
a great part of the time and it was
there Mrs. Nicholson made her head
quarters.
There is no such thing as the serv-
ant question in China said Mrs.
Nicholson. Chinese servants are the
best in the world, so 'savy, which
means a sort of combination of smart,
willing intelligence and a dozen other
qualities highly desirable and seldom

Modern Chinese Women.
Mrs. Nicholson says that when she
reached Shanghai in April, 1912, some
five or six years after her previous
visit. she was enormously impressed
with the changes that had taken place
In so short a time. The first thing
that struck her was the number of
women in the street. Oh her first
visit, she says, high-class woman in
the streets of Shanghai was a great
rarity. but now they are much in evil
dence.

ladies' driving splendid
