BY Cable to The Star.
LONDON, August 1.-THE dis
cussion provoked this week by the
death of MIR. Harding indicates ac-
curately the intelligent and sympa-
thetic interest felt here in American
affairs By a gradual process the
social and economic degeneration of
Europe has turned the eyes of all
EnSlishmen in the direction OF the
with sane and stable outlook. This
constitutes a notable postwar de-
velopment.
There was time after the war
when English politicians joined with
continentals in pathetic appeals to
America tn come over and help us"
The futiiity and stupidity of that
attitude of mind at last is recognized.
1t is perfectly realized now that the
true road TO salvationi is through the
application of the doctrine of self
help. and that palsied appeals by in
competent or greedy nations have
merely the effect of irritating the
rulers and peoples of the United
States.
Debt Funding Hailed.
Nevertheless there is a strong feel
ing among English politicians OF
every shade of opinion that final re-
sponsibility for the resettlement or
with America and Great Britain. Con-
sequently attempts to keep in touch
with the American point OF view ana
to understand American motives are
much to say that the funding of Great
Britain's debt TO America now gives
almost as much satisfaction to the
debtor as to the creditor. Aavln9
taken that formidable hurdle, Britain
can talk to America on lrlenolF anu
equal terms.
The chief cloud now shadoVing the
horizon of British-American friendship
is our attitude on prohibition. visitors
TO the United States tell the writer OF
the growing fear there of Great Britain
becoming the main obstacle to proper
administration Of the prohibition laws.
There is not the slightest doubt that
unless the British government takes
prompt and practical measures to deal
with the scandalous wholesale whisky
running from British ports, vigorous
protests will be raised in the house of
commons when parliament reassem-
bles.
I,OOO,0OO Are Unemployed.
Another question that parliament cam
not evade in the autumn session is un-
employment. This week Englishmen
have celebrated in glorious weather
the great summer holiday of tic year
and superficial observers might sup
pose all was we'll Never in our history
has there been such an exodus from
the big towns to the sea side and coun-
tryside. Holiday traffic returns broke
ali records, and money flowed like
water But the people merely were
obeying a natural human instinct to
forget their distresses and ansieties,
and to snatch the momentary delights
of the holiday mood.
The bald facts are that more than
/ 900. 900 persons are unemployed. and
prospects are full of gloom for the

LONDON. August 11.-Prof.
w. Flinders Petrie, the eminent
Psychologist who was recently
knighted by King George, gives
some interesting information re-
garding the private life of the
ancient Egyptians. The earliest
marriage contract known in Egypt
he says. dates from $50 BIC. The
terms of the pact, as drawn up by
the husband, were as follows:
Since God w1lleth that we
should unite one with the other
in righteous wedlock, after the
manner of every free man and
every wise woman, therefore
have given thee four dollars in
gold as bridal gift, that thou
mayesu come and enter my house
as free woman. And for my part
i will not neglect thee more than
as II were my own body. Neither
shall | be able to put thee forth
without cause, having legal
ground. But should i wish to put
thee forth. l will pay seventeen

AMERICAN PHOSPHATE

The phosphate lands some years
ago withdrawn from entry for set
tlement by the national government
Constitute, it is said, the greatest
known phosphate deposit in the
world. These lands comprise nearly
the whole of Uinta county in
Wyoming and portions Of Morgan,
Rich and Cache counties in Utah,
and Of Bear Lake, Bannock, Bing-
ham and Fremont counties in Idaho,
making in all about $500 square
miles Of territory which is more or
less underlain by phosphate rocks.
Besides these vast natural deposits,
1t is pointed out that the gases
from the shelters at Butte and Ana
conda, which are very injurious to
Vegetation, may be made to yield
sulphuric acid for the manufacture

EVOLUTION OF GRASS WIDOW
Forty-Niners Put Wives "out to Pas
ture" When Going West In
Search Of Gold.

In the Eleventh century in Eng
land it was law of the church that
a widow must REMAIN under Gods
protection and grace" marry
for year after the death of her hus-
band. Such women were called
"Grace widows" which often went
into the parish registers as 'grasse
widows" This was the first use of
the term, says the Detroit News.
OF more recent origin, however, is
its rather intelligent adaptation to
indicate a Divorce.
In the days Of the forty-niners in
California it was not uncommon for
men to "board out" their wives
while they went off to dig for gold.
Seeing humor in the situation, one
Of them uniquely referred to the
separation as putting his widow out
to grass" with reference, of course,
to the pasturing of cattle.

HIS FIRST BOX OF coLoRs

The American poet, Benjamin
R. G. Low, sends me the following
interesting anecdote, dealing with
one of the foremost men in America.
my grandmother, Mrs. A. A..
Low, was spending some time in the
south of France, near the coast. One
day, while taking a walk by the
water, she saw a young boy sketch
ing the sea. She stopped to watch
him, and at once saw that he had
talent. She asked him why he did
not use colors. He replied that he
had none. She accordingly pur-
chased a box of water colors and pre-
scented them to the boy.
"That was the first set of colors
used by John Singer Sargent.

One of my fathers friends who had

the house to give us message from

OF Boston made his first venture in
ice to Caleutta-lS0 tons in the
snip Tuscany. "As soon as you have
arrived in latitude 12 degrees
north, he instructed Captain Little
neid, you will have carried ice as
FAR south as it has ever been carried
before, and your ship becomes o dis

ndent you will do everything for
the eventual success of the under
taking, as being in charge of the
first ship that has ever carried ice
to the East Indies"
After sailing twice through the
torrid zone the Tuscany landed al
most two-thirds of her chilly cargo
IN good order at Calcutta. The poy-
erty of the people made it difficult
TO establish a wide market, but the
Angio-lndian community quickly
took to iced drinks and paid large
sums for the Baldwin apples which
were buried in the chilly cargo. The
trade was as genial for shipmasters
as it was profitable for Mr.. Tudor
and his ice came just in time to pre-
serve Boston's East India commerce
from ruin. American carrying trade
between Calcutta and Europe had
