'"They Brought The Mighty Chief To Town"
 FROM the treeless waste of snow and ice
 in Baffin island, Nowyabe, chief of an Eskimo tribe, Ncame to England to visit the British empire exposition recently, Nowyabe likes European dress, but he told London reporters he had great deal of trouble with his collar and tie. In his hotel he slept on the floor because he thought it desirable not to accustom himself too much to the comforts of civilization, as he is returning within few months to his community of forty people who live in a skin tent in the summer and Tn an igloo during the weary twilight of winter Nowyabe brought present for King George, which consisted in a set of Eskimo dolls carved from walrus teeth. The king was de- lighted, it seems, and asked the wiry little man what present he would like to take back. Nowyabe asked for some electric lights, ln the switching of which he has taken su- preme delight. The king had him fixed up with half a dozen or so extra strong flash lights. They will come in handy at the igloo when the fire is low and Nowyabe has to get up in the night that lasts three months there on the top of the world.
 Masculine Feminism.
 There is some stir in Madrid because the authorities refuse permission to one Sonora Reverte to appear as a regular matador in the great arena. There are already ladies filling the august offices of picador and bande- rillero. But their duty is only to tease the infuriated bull by sticking sharp little spikes in his body At the end of the spikes are delightful colored little streamers. Sonora Reverte wants a mans job. She longs to dispatch the reeling, snorting, bleeding "toro" with the short sword of the expert matador. In Russia they have woman executioners. One of whom, at Nisijhni, smokes cigarette on the scaffold as the heads fall with a dull thud under the knife of the guillotine. But in Spain feminism has passed the passive stage. There the ladies want progress and seize the bull by the horns.
 The Next Election.
 Germany is next on the list with a na- tional election. The issues are monarchism versus republicanism if we are to believe the nationalist newspapers. These journals have begun a seven-week campaign with shouts of Teutonism, patriotism, traitors to the father land, Jews and national religion. The or chestra seems to be only tuning up, the full din and crash will only be heard towards the windup of the battle. Before that hour many irresponsible statements will be flung into the wind, many flamboyant and threatening speeches made. Of course the loud shouting does not mean a great deal. As an old Elem ish proyerb runs: It is "a great deal of bleating, but little wool" The outcome of the contest seems to favor victory for the combined peoples party, the centre and the nationalists. The fasciti are expected to lose heavily and the nationalists feel that they may as well bring these disillusioned folk into their own net, just as the socialists are busy drawing the 'bordermen" of the communists into theirs. In the meantime there can be no doubt that some of the wild and fantastic notices and slogans of the junkers will filter through into the foreign press, a matter that will do the fatherland little good. x
