THE CROWN OF ALBANIA' «
'-
THE NEW PRINCE.
CHOICE OF THE POWERS. "
Prince William of Wted has beenchosen by the Powers to ascmid llh>tlironu of Albania as its first sovereignruler.. There were many rivnl candi-dates, native and foreign, but the eriee*tion of Prineo Wiliwra was from thefirst a foregone conclusiott. Apart fromhis personal qualities ho possessed onogreat advantage over the others; howas an Bvangeiieal Protestant, andcould bo relied upon to hold the balanceoven as between the thruo religions,Moslem, Greek Orthodox, and Roman
which claim tho allegiance ofthe Albanians. What this means in theDalkans is known to everybody.In addition, tho house of Wicd hasfor 'centuries been celebrated, for itstraditions of religious tolerance. Her-mann of Wicd, the Archbishop ofCologne, was oho of the first ta extendhis protection to tiw persecuted follow-ers of Luther, and Prineo Alexander ofWied turned his residence, Nottwied,into a. veritable harbour of rcfu.jjo forall creede. Catholics and Protestants,Jews and Mennonitc-s, Orthodox and sec-tarians, nil found hospitality under theshadow of tho Newwied castle and livodside by sido in perfect amity. Thesotraditions oouid not be ignored by the-Pewers when seeking for a priiice to ruleover Albania. Detachment from thorival Albanian reljgisns and perfecttolerance in all matters of faith—thosewore credentials ef the very best kindin tho particular circumsta.uccs obtain-ing.
A "MQdcFn" Royal Family.But there other advantages. The
Wiods are of an ancient stock, whichgave Germany many illustrious namesin various domains. Tho family earlyabandoned feudal liabits and prejudicesami acquired a "modem" rioff of thoWorld and its needs, Tiio mediatisatioaof its possessions in 1806 by Napoleondid not therefore- eomo to it as a greatshock. _ Tho principality had been''inediatised" long before in point of
'. fact, as tfeo result of tho non-4'oudaloutlook of its mlers, their intimate andunconventional inte-rcourso with theirsubjects, and theif personal taste for
. all those pursuits which mark the"Bourgeois"—the "burgerlicho" os thoGermans call it—mode of life. To havoa Princo of Albania coming from sucha- "modern" family was an. advnntago,tor it meant elUciency, reform, ana astsnso. lor the realities of iifo,
One of tho immediate ancestors ofPriace William was Prince Maximilian,whoso travels in tho Brazilian forestsand books dealing with tie results ofhis .investigations ja tho regions nowrendered notorious by tho rubber scan-dals gained for him an honourable placein the annals of German Bcicra<se. Prince
father, of thdsame namp, washimself a gifted and highly-cultivatedm*n, whose sok> aristocratic hobby waehorse breeding.
It speaks much of his 'modern riowsthat he took a passionate interest incolonial affairs, and was for many ?«arson tho committee of tho German Col-onial Society. This, at the time whenthe Prussian Junkerdom stiit abhorredWoltpolitik, rendered him in their eyesso unpleasant that when in 1897 ho ,put
j: forward;;hje candidatures for tho Presi-dency $i the Prussian Upper House heonly succeeded in defeating his rival by
I a small,majority of votes,': j Tho pj-egent Princo William ws tho'sbeond sw ia his family. Ho was. bornon March 26> 18*6, nnd gro\v- up to ljo atall, and cultured young man,d«vot<id to riding and historical studies.£ike his brothers, ho Sad, Ms militaryservice in the Guards Regiment in Ber-lin, and won ttm respect'both-, of hiscomradosand his chiefs by his dovotion,earnestness, and loyalty. Tho ftrst rum-our of his candidature found him in thorank of captain emplftyod by the GreatGeneral Staff, whicn is a groat distinc-tion. On November 30, 19(38, ho mar-ried Princess Sophia of SclionhuVg-
i Waldemburg, a granddaughter ef Prin-cess Cantacuzone, of tho'celebrated Bu-
! maniaii family. There in Rumania, shohad passed her younger days and ac-quired a tovo for Oriental art and lifo.
The Prince nt Homo.There also she camo into closq touch
with "Carnicn Sylva," Qneon Elizabethof Rumania, who herself is a Princessof Wied, the sister of Prince William'sfather. It was Carmen Sylva whobrought tho young oou.plo together, andthus laid the foundation of «eir happyunion. The Prince nnd Prlncoss ofWied settled in lieriin and afterwardsin PotsdaJn, whoro their house be*eamo one of the favourite resorts noto.n!ly for tho fashionable world, bat alsofor artists and musicians of the Gomian
i capital, A number of salons in thoisousy aro decorated in tho Orientalstyle, and tho Princess herself likes toreceive her guests in Oriental dress,nnd entertain them with tho stories ofher and her husband's adventures inSyria and Palestone, which they cross-ed on horseback, passing tho night inArab tents. They aro no doubt a veryinteresting couple, fond of sport andof art, arid well-prepared by thoir sym-pathies for a Balkan Throne.
The suggestion of Princo- William'scandidature is said to havo eomo firstfrom King Carol, of Rumania* wno, as 'a relative, well know the man? and ap*predated his qualifications for tho higlipost. At aiiy rate, it is certain thattho formal proposal to tho Powers camofrom him and that Germany and Austria-'were the first to give their oowsent. Djn happy coineideneo tho Princess gavebirth to her first son just after theidea of tho Albanian crown had _ beenbroached, the only other child being a|girl, who was borii in 1909.
Tho crown of Albania will not.bo aneasy thing to wear, but tho Powershave certainly chesen tho best manavailable. -

LAW REPORTS.LOWER COURTi
CLAIM AGAINST A CITY DOCTOR,
BY A CHINESE,
THE DOCTOR'S DEFENCE OPENED.
The case in which Loo Shook, aChineso, claimed £182 as wages fromDr. Francis Wallace Mackenzie, of /Wel-lington,' was continued' in the Magis-tratc's Court yesterday. Dr. Mackenzieopened his defence, by going into thowitness lx)x to givo evidence. Mr. V. H.Meredith appeared as counsel for theplaintiff.
Dr. Mackenzie stated that tho evi-denco given by tio Chinese onThursdayhad been qtidto unexpected by , him,and had upset his plans for defendingtho aas. Tho stories of tho Chineseagreed very nicely, but they were quiteat variance with the facts. When LooShook had gono to him about four yearsago he had said that he had been cneat-ed out of his "garden in Napier, wasunable to work, and had been drinking.Loo Shook used to work for defendant'sfather, so he (defendant) thought thatlie would do him a good turn by sendinghim to tho farm at Kawliia. Tho ar-rangement was that Loo Shook was togo to Kawhia, not to do any work, butjust to "fool about" and enjoy himself.Things went well for some time, buteventually defendant's son desired thatLoo Shook" should bo removed from thoproperty. . '
Cross-examined by Mr.Mackenzie said that the farm was 960acres in extent, and was mostly bush.The property was his soil's.
Mr. Meredith produced documentaryevidence purporting to show that thefarm was bought by. Dr. Mackenzie him-self several years ago. Defendant thonsaid that lie acquired' the property in.his own name, becauso his boy .was onlyeighteen years of age at the time.'
Mr. Meredith then remarked to wit-ness that it was peculiar that the pro-perty was not transferred till June,'1913, after these proceedings had beentaken. Defendant replied that ho couldnot understand the delay. It shouldhavo been transferred long before thatby his solicitors.'
Mr. Meredith': You have been a liti-gant before?.
Defendant: Yes, I was here, chargedwith cruelty to a dog.
You remeniber the caso of Mackenzior. Mackenzio?—"Yes. You are goinpto allege that I took my family down.
Do you deny tho truth of what His.Honour Sir Joshua Williams said aboutycu in his particularly scathing re-marks?—"Yes, absolutely! M'v wifowrote a le(ttcr to Sir Joshua Williamsafterwards, and got a reply back apolo-gising for what he had said."
The case was then adjourned till thismorning.'
• THEFT OF OVERCOATS.The theft of eix ladies' overcoats, val-
ued at. £9/ belonging to William Haincs,was alleged against Thomas Yates. Aletter was put in stating thatYates had.received nn injury to his hoad years agoand that this affected him when ho tookdrink.'

■ SAILORS' VAGARIES.John Stevens and Robert'Large, soa-,mehfrbm the Stnr.of Ireland, .. were!charged-with having absented them- 1solves from the vessej and with having
refused duty.■Mr. T. Young, who represented the
shipping company, said that Stevens gotinto some trouble in Auckland for mis-behaviour ashore, and when ho got toWellington he was not allowed anymoney. Hβ demanded money, andwhen he was not given it refused towork and went ashore. Largo followedin sympathy. After awhilo they return-ed to tho vessel, but in the meantimethe captain had issued a warrant fortheir arrest, and they were taken incharge. The men's contract was thatthey should be paid upon their returnto London, but the custom was to ad-vance them money at foreign ports ifthey had behaved on the voyage.
Each defendant was fined £1, withcosts 7s. .

costs 95., for _having painted a ticket-box in front of ,tho .Britannia Theatre(in view of' passers by) on a Sundaymorning. Barnes persisted in the workafter a police constable had told himthat he was breaking tho law.

charged with having driven at more thana, walking pace across tho inter-section of Vivian and TaranakiStreet. Tho city solicitor stated thatdefendants careless driving resulted ina collision with a trarr.car. Defendantwas fined os., with costs £1 os. 9d.
STOCK AT LARGE.As the persons responsible for stock
found at large, Joseph James Moore wasfined osi, with costs 135.; and ReginaldWelsby, £2, with costs.,7s., in defaultseven days' imprisonment.
SCENE IN A TRAIN.Harry Douglas pleaded guilty to a
charge of having used threatening be-haviour in a train travelling to John-sqnville on December 15. Mr. J. F. W.Dickson, defendant's counsel, said thaiDouglas had been provoked to uso thewords complained of by other passen-gers, who made nasty remarks about ex-strikers. Ho was fined 10s.
Tho magistrate said that he madethe penalty light because ho did notwant to take money away from thoman's wifo and children.
CRUELTY TO HORSE.Joseph Wilson was charged with hav-
ing cruelly ill-treated a norso on No-vemer 21. Ho was convicted and order-ed to pay costs amounting to £3 3s.6d.

WHEN WOMEN DIFFER.Rosa. Goodwin applied for sureties of
tho peace against Agnes Bell, on thoground that tho latter had assaultedher on November 22, and that therowas reason to fear a reptetition of tboolfence. After hearing tho evidence,His Worship ordered defendant to enterinto a £130 bond to keep tho peace for12 mnntns, and to find a surety of £50.Mr. W. J. Sim represented tho com-plainant.

RATE UPHELD. -
Tlie judgment of tho Chief JunUco(Sir Robert Stout) has been dcliverwlin tho taso of Wafrcii and othereagainst tho l'ahiatiia. County Council,an application for an injunction (•« pre-vent tho defendants levying a rnto ofljd. in tho £ on tho Koiiini Hidingot tho County of Paliiatim, or fromdemanding anything in excess of a pennyin the £; and also to require tho de-fendants to repay tho amount collectedto any ratepayers from whom thoy hadcollected tho rato of J id-, or thoamount in excess of a penny in tho £.
The allegation wag that, taking intoconsideration' the amount to tho creditof tho riding at tho beginning of thoyear, and tho amount required to, bo ex-pended, a larger rato was levied thanwas warranted, and it was suggestedthat this rato was levied for a fraudu-lent purpose, namely, tho creation of abalance 111 favour of thoKoiiini riding,with the intention of, as soon us thisbnlanco was created, altering (perhapsenlarging) the boundaries of the riding,so as to take, in portions of other rid-ings which would benetit by tho moneyheld in credit by tho Konini riding.
His Honour said that tho rato lind.been properly loviod. It might bo thatmore money had been called, for thanwas actually necessary, btit tho en-gineer, who seomod ablo and impartial,said that far less monoy ooukl be donewith. Thero wore affidavits by coun-cillors and others that a moro moder-ate expenditure was necessary; butthat was a matter for tho County Coun-cil, and ono -in which tho Court couldnot interfere. Tho only limit of rateswas that 6xod by statute;, tho Courtcould not act as controller of theirmoney. Thero was not ground for thoCourt to interfere with the council byinjunction. . '
The injunction was refused, and tlioaction dismissed.

TWO VIEWS OF IRELAND.
g;fttibn.*.of' the people oMrelandfis- hrifc;tb«ing devoted to'the'struggle'foVand.'■,the:.point''.of-.: .yiew of the/average out-' eider this;grcat.'..battlc';' overshadows"everything,else, as;far, as- Ireland is
'the.' political out-..looJc could riot .well be gloomier thanit ss at.the present moment. All at-tempts at a friendly settlement ofthe Home Rule question have so favfailed,-and.now Mr. Bonar Lawdeclares that Ireland-, "is .driftinginevitably towards, civil war whichwould shatter the whole fabric of na-tional existence.' , . .In contrast tothig gloomy story of political andreligious strife and bitterness, whichis monopolising the attention of theoutsido world, there has been a greatimprovement in recent years in thesocial ;and industrial life of thopeople, more especially of tho agri-cultural population. Notwithstand-ing this fact, however, the country:for years past has been losing someof the best of its young people by thesteady stream of emigration to Ame-rica, and other places. In 1911 theemigrants totalled 31,088,'. and thetotal number of natives of Irelandwho left Irish ports from May 1,1851, to the end ofDecember 1011 was4,218,016. This loss of populationhas been, deplored by the best friendsof Ireland, and endeavours havebeen made to put a check on theconstant drain. The most practicalway of doing this is to make thecountry a more pleasant and profit-able place to jive in. Far-reachingreforms in this direction have beencarried through in recent years, andtheir success is now beginning tocounteract the lure-of America- onthe sons of Ireland. A striking in-dication of this is provided by acablegram which appeared in TheDominion a few days ago, in whichitwas stated that, the Roman Cath-olic .authorities in America are soimpressed'with the improved condi-tions in Ireland that they have noti-fied those of their co-religionists whoare thinking of trying their fortunesin the New World that they had bet-ter, remain at home. Such an opin-ion coming from such an influentialquarter is sure to have a restraininginfluence on Irish emigration.
■ Tho great improvement which hastaken place in tho rural life of Ire-land is in a very large measure dueto tho practical activities and or-ganising powers of Sip HoracePltokett, tho founder of the IrishAgricultural Organisation Society,which has done splendidwork for thebetterment of the conditions of thoman on the land. The origin anddevelopment of the movement make amost interesting story, and it is welltold in the December issue of TheConstructive Quarterly (Oxford Uni-versity Press), by Father Fiklay,S.J. The system of land tenurewhich existed up ■ till the year 1881left the tiller of the soil entirely atthe mercy of the legal owner of tholand, his methods of weredecidedly.-primitive, and 'his 'stan-dard of living deplorably low. Thelegislation of 1&81 guaranteed him
• fixity of tenure.and a fair rent, andsubsequent Land Purchase Acts en-abled him to become owner of hisholding. Theso reforms paved theway for the new era. Towards the
of the eighties, Sir HoracePiiUnkett. began to give practical ef-fect to his ideas on rural economy.He taught the Irish farmer the valueof combination in industry, al-lied with intelligence, self-relianceand mutual trust. He had to over-come the innate conservatism of thepeople, and the hopelessness engen-dered by the old state of affairs, andho had also to break down long-standing political and religious an-tagonisms. Kg had the- assistanceof a few colleagues in his early ef-forts, but in the course of time thegrowth of the movement made itnecessary to give it organic form andthe Irish Agricultura) OrganisationSociety came into existence in 1894.Its appearance gave a new impetusto the co-operative idea. In 1898the number of societies had risen to104; in 19Q0, to 477; and at the pre-sent a total of 980 has been reached.Tho movement has been greatlyhelped by the establishment of aGovernment Department of Agricul-ture, which undertakes the duty ofinstructing the farmer in the meth-ods which will suable him to obtainthe largest returns from the land."Fortunately," writes Father Fix-lay, "we had at the time a ChiefSecretary whose sympathy with anyfeasible scheme for the genuine wel-fare of the country was assured—Mr. GeraM) Balfour." The idealSir Horace Pmjhkett and his col-leagues aim at is summed up in thewords, "better farming, better busi-ness, and better living." Thoughth« co-operativo movement has doneso much for tho uplifting of thesmall farmer in Ireland, it is onlypart of a greater programme, thislarger hope being "nothing less thantho reconstruction of rural life asa ,\yhole,_ the building up of a ruralcivilisation which shall counteractthe forces that arc cvorywhero draw-ing tho_ best elements'of the ruralpopulation to the towns, and whichshall check tho evils to which thisdrain is giving rise iu town andcountry alike. Limits of spacemake it impossible to give more thanthe barest outline of what is beingdone to.raise the standard of coun-try life in Ireland. One of the mostencouraging aspects of the work iaits unifying iniiuence_on the people.While- political questions are divid-ing Ireland into hostile camps, thotendency 'of the rural betterment-scheme is towards more friendly re-lations between men of different re-ligions and political opinions,Father Finlay states that in dis-tricts where . co-operation has beenintroduced into rurfil. industry, thetraditional animosities of Irish lifehave lost much of their rancour, andparty strife much of its bitterness.If a permanent, settlement by con-sent of the Home Rule question couldbe arrived at the future of Irelandwould be full of hope. At present,however, the'possibility.'.of civil warhangs,like a.- dark"\.eloush:over,j,'the.land.;?:./' ' -'^'■■"-. '■''■£':%£.,';?%'*"

■tcnO In;: Great Britain 'there"hasbeen an awakening on the subjectduring the last three ytars, and ef-.forts are being made to supplement
.the work that has been,done in as-sembling and housing..(ho' museumcollections by providing competentguides and lecturers to give short
.lectures and explanations. Up'to.'three years ago visitors to the.publicmuseums in Great Britain found itdifficult, if not impossible, to ' ob-tain any information about the ob-jects in view, and, as a recent writerhas observed, were left to wanderaimlessly about the galleries withbut little appreciation and scarcelyany understanding of the treasuresthat surrounded them. The actualowners of the museums had no ideahow to use them. Under the newsystem this unsatisfactory state . ofaffairs has been remedied. Shortpopular lectures were inauguratedat the British Museum in 1011, andat the London Natural History Mu-seum in the following year. In eachcase tho experiment has been entire-ly successful, and up to the end oflast year fifty thousand people hadattended the lecturce at these twoinstitutions alone. Similar arrange-ments have been made at. other mu-seums throughout the country, andthere seems to bo every prospect thatthe innovation will be a permanentsuccess. A great authority who hasrecently expressed himself on thosubject is Sir Kay LankesteS, whowas for many years Director of theLondon Natural History Museum,He was believed to be very scepticalas to the value of tho introduction ofguide-demonstrators, but has latelystated that he is convinced "that' ithas been shown by the actual resultof She experiment, made first at thoBloomsbury Museum and during thofirst' year (1913) at Cromwell Road,that, the services of a good officialguide are highly valucdoy the pub-lic, and that in consequence of theappointment of such 'guides' alarge number of Visitors to the mu-seums are enabled to understand andappreciate the contents of the mu-seum cases, who, without the guide'sassistance, would not have arrivedat this understanding and apprecia-tion."
To a great extent the conditionswhich existed in Great Britain priorto the' inauguration of the systemof popular lectures at tho museumsexist in New Zealand to-day. Forinstanccj it is probably not overstat-ing the ease to say that in the eyesof the average Wellingtonian the.Dominion Museum appears as asort of superior curiosity shop. Thenumber of students and other per*sons whose attainments enable- themto take a really intelligent interestin the collections is strictly limited,and Uie average man and womanare limited by lack of informationto a merely superficial observationof the innumerable exhibits whichthe museum contains. A specimen
■,of .-Maori carKHigvOi , a mos,. mayhave a certaininterest from the'spec-tacular point of., view, hut it canhardly be claimed that tho pleasurewhich occasional visitors take incontemplating them, vithotit under-standing and with only superficialappreciation, is a satisfactory fulfil-ment of the objects for which a mu-seum exists. In any case the valueof these institutions would certainlybe enormously increased by the in-auguration of a system of popular,lectures' which would confer somsknowledge of the world around themand of bygone history upon peoplewho have' neither time nor inclina-tion to become serious students. Itmay be objected that the appoint-ment of competent lecturers wouldinvolve considerable expense, butnothing very ambitious need be at-tempted at the outset Somethingmight be accomplished with the aidof the existing staffs and by co-ordination with the educational in-stitutions of the country. These arcmatters of detail for experts to de-termine. The point to be made hereis that museums should be made toserve an educative purpose wherethe general public is concerned. Thevalue of museums to students, andas treasure-houses of knowledgewhich will be passed on to futuregenerations, may be admitted, but inaddition to this a museum shouldpromote tho spread of useful andinteresting information among themass of the people, and this purposecannot Iμ adequately fulfilled untilmere exhibition is supplemented byexplanation and instruction. Someefforts have from time to time been
in this direction by volunteerworkers, .but what is wanted is asysfomatic plan on lines similar tothose which are being followed inGreat Britain but with such limi-tations and modifications as are ne-cessitated by our local circumstances.The utilisation of museums in con-nection with tho instruction ofschool children would naturally finda place in any scheme of tho kind.
NOTES OF THE DAY.
In view of the large measure ofsuccess which has been achieved bytho use of radium in the treatmentof certain diseases, it is interesting,to note that the proposal advocated'last year by Dr. Maktin, Superin-tendent of Palmcrston Hospital, forthe purchase of a supply of radiumis being revived. The Hon. It. H.Ehodes, Minister of Hospitals, isto be interviewed on tho matter, andit is also suggested that a EadiumInstitute should bo established atPalmerston. Although it cannot besaid that radium is an absolutecure - for cancer, remarkable re-sults have been obtained fromits use, and some • of the lead-ing medical in theworld aro hoping for stillgreater things in the near future.The supply of radium is, however,very limited, and it ia extremely ex-pensive; but a greater output, anda reduction of eost may soon be ex-pected. What- aro said to bo thegreatest radium deposits known to.science .were recently discovered inParadox Valley, Colorado .(U.S.),and the New . York Independentstates that 27 claims of mining land'in this district have been purchasedby two philanthropists for purposesof obtaining radium to bi used forfree medical treatment. The- workof extraction will bs carried on inau entirely now way by the NationalRadium Institute, under the super-vision of the Bureau of Mines, whichis responsible for the process.

I'tire exact therapeutic value of tUeso.materials, as , well as the scientificQualities '-that might bo ; of use forother."than therapeutic purposes.",-This wonderful substance is receiv-ing much attention both fvom themedical and the, scientific point ofview. ' That it is going to play animportant part in the treatment ofdisease, is almost carta-in, and theproposal of the Palmcrston Hos-pital, .'Board is defterviug of verycareful :and sympathetic considera-
;tion!■■' The collapseof the strike in SouthAfrica is now regarded as imminent.The men are streaming back to workas they consider it is useless to con-tinue the struggle. Their plan ofcampaign has proved an utter fail-ure, and all the wild talk of revo-lutionary action has been brought.to naught by the effective measurestaken by the Government to main'tain the .supremacy of the State,.,The trial of strength has been short,sharp, and decisive. The authoritieswere certainly right in refusing toenter into any negotiations withmen who were defying the law of tholand. The only settlement which thoState could accept without loss ofdignity and ptestigo was the uncon-■ ditional surrender of those who hadchallenged its authority. It wouldhave been a fatal mistake if the Gov-
ernment had consented to palter orparky with tho Trades Federationor to come to any agreement with abody which was making war on thecommunity. One of the redeemingfeatures of the crisis is the magnifi-cent manner in which the law-abid-ing citizens have backed up the Gov-ernment, and everything goes toshow that the moral effect of this
; practical exhibition of public spiritr has been a very real factor in kcep»* ing the revolutionary movement in
check. The recent labour upheaval iin New Zcalaud showed the futilityof the general strike and the otherweaponsof Syndicalism as a means ofimproving the conditions of theworkers, and tins fact has beenstrongly emphasised by the experi-ence through which South Africa isjust now passing. ' In both instances
i the community has made it unmistak-ably clear that when it realisestho danger it is .well able toprotect itself from the attempts ofany lawless minority to starve orfrighten it into snranission. Thetrouble in South Africa is not yetover, but- latest information plainlyindicates, that the back ot the strikehas been broken, and that normal
; conditions will soon be restored.The interest which has been
' aroused by Mr. Ball'Our's GiffordLectures is a striking indication of•■ the tendency of modern philosophic
i thought. Me. Baifouh ranges him-self alongside Professor Ward, M.Henri Bbroson, Sir Owver Lodge,Professor Euckekt, M. Ejiile Bou-troux, and other distinguishedthinkers in opposition to tb-e me-chanical theory of the universewhich "dominated, scientific thoughtduring the latter part of the nine-teenth ceritnry. He argues in favourof a theistic interpretation of theuniverse, and contends that apartfrom the idea of consciousness evo-lution would be an unmeaningphrase. In aft article in the Jlib-bert Journal in 1911, Hit. Balfourstated' that ''if Naturalism be ac-cepted then our whole apparatusfor arriving at truth, all tho be-liefs in whidi that truth is cmhod- jied, reason, instinct, and then, kgi- jtimate results, arc the , product ofirrational forces. Whence thca their
■ authority ? By introducing creative1 will behind development Beeg&OK
has profoundly modified the wholeevolutionary drama." Behgsoji does
; not think the evolution of life* willever be explained* by mechanicalforceSs he contends that there is avital impulse—a spiritual force.This point of view is vigorously as-sailed by the mechanical school ofscientists and philosophers, and thewhole- question is being very keenly
! discussed. Mit. Ji. S. Ijliot recentlysubjected Berg&on's views to somevery severe criticism, in which he
1 , was supported by Sir Ray Lan-■ KESTER, while Professors Schauperi
1 and Loeb also favour the mcchanis-• tic system of explanation, On , the.
other hand the difficulties of mod-ern materialism have been stated ina very impressive manner by Mr.M'Dot'GAU,, o£ Oxford, in his books entitled Body and Mind, and morerecently in an article in Ikdjfjockin reply to Mil. Eliot's criticism.■ Mr. M'DouGAUi suggests that scien-tists might with profit make an ex-cursion to the nursery where they
■ may hear propounded by the freshvoice, of .. childhood some, of the old•riddles which the mechanistic theoryseems to kave as insoluble- as ever."Where does space coitto to an end ,!"
"When did time begin?" "Whatwas there before the -tforld"Why can't I stop thinking?'' Heconcludes by stating that the accept-ance- of the mechanistic scheme ofthings would only "make" a littlecircle of light by pushing back thegreater problems into the outerdarkness, where, though we may for-get them, they nevertheless surroundus on every hand." Mr. Bau'our'ssubject carries him right into thomidst of this great controversy, andhe has a wonderful gift of handling
' the most abstruse questions in an in-teresting way and making them in>tcllisiblc to tho average- man-
The question of whether leniencysbou.d l)o extended people who commit icrimes thrqagh being undw. tlio in-ilucitce of liquor is ono on whichopinions differ.

' ■'-. .:■' ' ■Tho Government, he Baid, desifed apeaceful solution of tho difficulty, but
•tho position under which it held officemado it impossible for it to take theoiily step that would afford a peacefulsolution. It tho Government wont onwith tho isßiio it'could not be decidedwithout bloodshed.- The-Unionist party,ailded Mr. Bonar Law, was pledged tosupport Ulster, and, with .tho help oftiie Almighty, intended .to . keep thatpledge. '■ !',.■■ ■ ■ ■;'■:■■ ■ ■ ■' "If," he said, "the Government canmake a proposal t-o da away with thoprospect of civil war, the Opposition willbo ready to consider it with a. rcai de-sire to accept it, if that could lse pos-sible without any sacrifico of nationalinterest or honour." Ho thought, fromtiro speeches of Mr. Clmrcbill, Sir Ed-ward Grey, ami Jlr. Asquilh at Lady-bank, that tho GoventmoHt was prepar-ed to face tho facts,.but at the firstwhisper of a conference tho Nationalistleader demanded Isis pound of flesh.When party discipline is so rigid, andpassions are so strong that party inter-ests are preferred to national interests,the daimcr to tlie State is grave in-deed. That position has now been reach-ed. Tho Government knows that if it
■ appealed io the people to-dayand the verdict wont against . them, the.
: work for which they had/ sacrificedeverything—including the dignity andtraditions' of the House of Commons—would al! be in vain. That is a. humilia-tion to which no party lea<lor shouldsubmit. Tlio obligation \vliicli_ theGovernment incurred to the National-ists js not precisely a debt of honour,but it weighs heavily with the fiovern*
■ mpnt. They can be true to their allies j'. only by being false, to thfi country. '
"The Unionists maintain," continuedMr. Honar Law, "thnt Parliament has
, tho right to govern Ulster, but not tosell it into slavery. If the Gowrinnontceased to act as . th<> constitutionalGovernment of a fvoo ocoplo, they wouldbe tyrants who had lost sicht of thatobedience npon which all Governißpntsexist.

"Notonly werotho effects 'felt locally, but they were■extended to tho mail steamers, whichwero scheduled to sail for America,*Australia, and tho United Kingdom,l'ho wero particularly felt atWellington. The Moans, for San Fran-cisco, was detained for iivo days, andcommunication with. Sydney was sus-tained from Wellington direct only, theTteamor services from tho Bluff and'Auckland being suspended.
"Tho coastal traffio was reduced tocomparatively few boats, and, as faras the Wellington-Lyttclton ferry ser-vice was concerned, slowor steamers—
Vho Pateeua and Mapourika. and theemail Queen of the South—had to bo'Employed. Owing to these substitutionsfor tho Maori and (for some part oftho timo) for tho Waliinc, mails arriv-ing at Wollington and at Lytteltonmissed the expresses—not only the firstexpress at Lyttelton, but, on manyoccasions, tho second express also.
"Tho Auckland district also sufferedto a great extent, although overy effortwas mado by engaging small steamersto provide for keeping up mail com-munication with places north of Auck-land. The Nelson connection had to bemaintained by subsidising tho Nikau.This small steamer made three'trips aweek between Wellington and Nel-son, via l'icton. Tho Gisbomoservice was suspended for somotime. During tho first part ofthe 6trike. Messrs. Richardson Bros.'steamers from Napior were kept run-ning, but, after a week or so, the mencame out, and thero was no servicesither from Napier or from Aucklanddown tho East Coast, except by thesmall steamer Tangaroa, which onco aweek managed to make a trip from Gis-borne to Napier.' ,
"For a considerable timo there was nosteamer communication with tho WestCoast of tho South Island, and conse-quently very heavy mails usually for-warded to, Wellington for dispatch bysteamer had to be. diverted to" Christ-church and 'transmitted by coach andtrain to tlieir destination The contrac-tor for tho conveyance of mails at tliorailhead rosp ,to -the occasion, and, inspite of material increases of mail mat-ter, and particularly of parcels, he car-ried through thoßorvice in a very satis-factory manner, and when necessary■provided a special conveyaivce to meettho difficulty. Even with this provi-sion, on many occasions a portion of thohamper mails had to be left over forcarnage on the following day. In manyother directions also special coaches andconveyances had to bo engaged in orderto keep the mail services running naclosely as possible to time-table.
"The parcels post was affected toa veryconsiderable extent, as many articleswere forwarded through the post whichtho public Had not "hitherto ; thought ofsending otherwise than by steamer. Atthe request of a local body in Dunedin,it was determined, during tho period inquestion, to extend the weight limit ofparcels from 111b. to 211b. for parcelsserved by rail and steamer. This con-cession, was. very readily .availed of, andis still in force. For the four weeksended December 2." last the number ofextra-weight parcels posted at Christ-churcli amouoted:' to 860, "at"Dunedin732, and at Wellington 1098. Tho ad-ditional cost to the Department; causedby these special arrangements," saidthe Minister, "is not yet available, butit will amount to a considerable sum."

TRADE WITH CANADA.
STEADILY INCREASING',' <By Telegraph.-Press Association.)
Auckland, January 16.lrade between New Zealand andCanada is developing rapidly, said Mr,iW. A. Beddoo, Canadian Trade Com-missioner, to-day. Since tho inaugura-tion of tho direct servico to Vancouverthe exports of New Zealand to Canada.lave been constantly on tho increase.The expansion was particularly notice-able in butter and beef. Mr. Beddoequoted tho following comparative figuresillustrating tho growth in certain linesof exports from New Zealand to Canadain tho past two years:—Boxes butterin 1912, 79,838; in 1913, 132,368. Quar-ters of beef, 40 and 26,914; carcassesof veal, 393 and 2478; carcasses ofjnutton, nono and 1 3084. Ho regardedtho business between the two countriesas permanent. In fact, tho businessbetween Now Zealand and Canada wasonly at its teginning.* A country■which is receiving every two years anumber of immigrants equal to the en-tiro population of New Zealand, all ofihem being consumers, and very few ofthem producers of thoproducts enumer-ated above, is the basis upon whichhe founds his opinion. People, ho said,go to Canada for free land, upon whichthey raise wheat. A very small pro-portion of tho newcomers engago .indairy-farming or tho raising of. stock.Then, again, it is cheaper to send but-ter from New Zealand to Vancouverthan it is to send it from EasternCanada to Vancouver hy rail. Thebusiness dono by Canada with New Zea-land is also proceeding upon a satis-factory basis, remarked Mr. Boddoo.Newspaper, motor-cars, agriculturalir.nchinDry, furniture, wire, iron pipes,end carriage ware are the lines whichere being exchanged by Canada for thonatural products of New Zealand. Fort!io first timo in 50 years Canada didnot export butter to England in 1913.She was now placed on tho permanentlist in all trade circles as an importerof butter. It #as only a few years ago•tlint Canada exported £I.soo,ooo'.worth'
•Df .butter per year to England. "Wenrd 8,000,000 of people with 2,500,000sheep," observed Mr. Boddoo, in, con-clusion. "Now Zealand has 1,000.000 ofpeople and 24,000,000 sheep, and beingflritishors and mutton-eaters there is nodrubt tlint if transportation could beprovided direct to Eastern Canada,where tho bulk of tho population is,iplendid business would! results
GARAGE AND STABLEHANDS.
Important decision,
SUFFER FOR STRIKE BLUNDER.(By Talejrranh—Press Association.)
Chrlstohurch, January 16.A very important judgment was given
by Sir. Justice Sim in an industrialdispute between the Canterbury Motor-ear and Horse-drivers' and Livery StableEmployees' Industrial Union of Work-ers and ]?. Armstrong, Ltd., andothers, and also in a dispute betweenthe same union and J. Bosomworth
and others. The judgment is as fol-lows :—
"These two disputes were heard inNovember last. Tho first-mentioned dis-pute relates to hours of work, wages,and other conditions of drivers ofmotor delivery vehicles. Tho other dis-puto relates to hours of work, wages,and other conditions of livery-stablohands. After the hearing, and whiletho disputes wero under considerationby the Court, it was reported in thenewspapers, that members of tho unionliad decided to engage in a. strike, andhad carried the decision into effect. ThoCourt caused inquiries to be made onthe subject through the Clerk ofAwards at Christchurch, and a state-ment, in writing, was obtained fromMr. Hiram Hunter, secretary of thounion. This statement was to thoeffect that the union, resolved, at ameeting told on Friday, November 21,to request its members to cease- workon the following Monday, and that,in pursuance of this request, a majorityof the members of the union, residingwithin a radius of ten miles of tho cityof Christchurch, ceased work on 'Mon-day, but a majority of those who didso were ordered back threo days later.Assuming these to bo facts, it is cleartiiat tho union has been guilty of anoffence under Section. 60 of the Indus-trial Conciliation nnd Arbitration
jAmendment Act, 1903, by instigatinga strike, and, on. being convicted ofsuch offence, is liable to have its regis-tration suspended' for a period of twoyears, under Section 10 of the sameAct. Tho Court is of opinion that, inthese- circumstances, it should refuseto make any award in the pending dis-putes, and the. applications are dis-missed. It may bo the case that theworkers immediately concerned in thotwo particular disputes were opposed tothe proposed strike, and that they havoto suffer, therefore, for the blunders ofother people. So far as concerns thedrivers of tho motor delivery vehiclesthere is now in Christchurch a nowunion to which they can belong, andwhich could obtain an award on theirbehalf.. There is, however, no ■ suchUnion in the case of livery stable em-ployees, and tho Court recommends thoemployers of these workers to pay themtho minimum wage fixed by tho lastAuckland award, namely, £2 Bs. perweek."
WHARF BICKERINGS.0
SOME WORDS JTtOM THE BENCH\A good deal is heard lately of the
threats which are mado to Arbitrationworkers by those who object to theirworking on the wharf, or to their hav-ing worked there during the strike.Yesterday morning, in the'Magistrate'sCourt, Mr. J. S. Evans, S.M., foundreason to remark that men, who usedthreatening behaviour ,could expect tobo bound over to keep thepeacc. Thestrike was over, and bickerings shouldend. In the case before him the,, Mag-istrate made the fine light because "he:did, not wish to deprive the man's wifeand children of money, but ho added:"I cannot take sympathy for wife andchildren,-into account if sureties, aroasked for."

HIS WAY WHEN FINED."An absolute nuisance" was the de-
soription given by tbo City Solicitoryesterday to a man who frequently ap-pears in the Magistrate's Court oncharges of allowing stock to wander atlargo. "This," continued Mr. O'Shea,"is about his hundredth offence. Hehas no proper place to keep his stock,and he lets them wander anywhere. Ifhe is fined, and the default is lightenough, he goes up to the gaol andgives himself up on Saturday morning,knowing that on a Saturday he will getout almost immediately. I ask theCourt to'make the default heavy in thiscase s so. that he cannot repeat that.Homs up to all the tricks' and dodgosin the game."
The man' was fined £2, in defaultseven days' imprisonment.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
SPORADIC CASES,
WELLINGTON DOCTOR'S VIEWS.
'A Wellington medical man who hadexperience- oi the infantile paralysis epi-demic which occurred in Glasgow aboutseven years ago gave it as his opinionto a Dominion- reporter last night thatthe probabilities wero against thodisease spreading from Dunedin, wheroan epidemic at present exists. Thodisease- was highly contagious, but6poradic < cases cropped up from timo totime. The disease was first recognisedin Geneva in 1805, but since 1860 ithas been prevalent in Germany and theUnited States. During the outbreaksof 1906 and 1908 in Scotland some hun-dreds of cases occurred in Glasgow,and tho mortality was very heavy. Thedisease did not spread to a great ex-tent then, although somo casea occurredin London. Very- littlo is known yetof tho conditions governing transmis-sion of tho infection. The introductionof the virus i 3 thought to take placethrough tho ear, noso, and throat, butdirect contagion from man to man,' orby means of clothes, has often failedto occur where-it might havo been ex-pected. Tho young are most liable totake. the disease, 80 per cent, of theknown cases being under 16 years ofage, while only about h'vo per cent,were over 25 years. The soxes are at-tacked nearly equally. ,
11-egarding symptoms, the doctor eaidthat thero are in a few cases slightpremonitory symptoms, such as nausea,sick headaches, etc., but in most casestho patient is attacked with severeheadache, and has to givo up at once.The patient also suffers from paina inthe back of tho head, and stiffness ofmuscles at tho back of the neck, andoften tho head is drawn back by thocontraction of tho neck muscles. Theface muscles become paralysed,, and thetemperature is high, as high as 108 insome_ instances before death takes place.An important feature of tho diseaseis also skin eruptions, which appear/early in tho disease, as frequently inmild as in savor© cases. Thero aro dif-ferent varieties of the epidemic, andthe death-rate varies from thirty toseventy per cent, of the patients at-tacked. Death takes place sometimesin a. few days, and in other cases, themajority, does not occur for from twoti) four weeks. Diagnosis is, not diffi-cult in tho course of an epidemic,, butotherwiso blood-poisoning from foodmay bo mistaken for) it.
It is an epidemic difficult to dealwith, and a serum treatment has beenextensively tried. The serum which Imsgiven most satisfaction was that dis-covered by Flexner and Joblinoc, of thoRockefeller Institute of Medical Re-search.
In time of danger the one thing mostImportant is the keeping of the noseand mouth clean, and avoiding closecontact with those ill.

Tho cost of Amundsen's expedition tothe North Pole, which starts this year,will exceed £30,000, and so far tho fullsum has not been raised. To secure thebalance of tho money, Captain Amund-sen has adopted a novel plan—the send-ing of post cards from tho North Poloto thoso people who care to pay amodost fee for the card, and thus helpon tho groat adventure.
For this purpose a special North l'olocard has been issued. Purchasors mayaddress these to themselves ortheir friends, and send . them ina special envelope to CaptainAmundsen at San Grancisco. Allsuch cards will bb taken on thoFram right to tho North Polo, ifAmundsen gets there. "With tho con-sent of tho postal authorities tho Framhas been made a Norwegian post office,and so all Nortli Polo cards sent toCaptain Amundsen will bo starapod onhoard tho Frf.m with Norwegian stampsfor reposting to Australasia.

HAPPENINGS DURING STRIKE.;
SOME MISUNDERSTANBINC.
According to news received' in .Wel-lington by tho latest mail from Sydneya most important development in thorelations between tho marine engineersof Australia and those of New Zealandis now pending. Hitherto all marin-oengineers have been members of theAustralasian Institute, but at tho pre-sent time there is en active movementon the part of the Commonwealthmem-bers to bring about severance from NewZealand on grounds that have been eotout in a. manner more candid than, flat-tering. As the subject is one of verywidespread interest, a few of the objec-tions of tho Australians may be formu-lated.
New Zealand marine engineers, it wassaid, have ropeatedly opposed members'rights' to a ballot. Under the pre-sent rules a Federal council governsthe institute in the four-year intervalsbetween conferences, aud no ballot canbs taken without the permission of thscouncil, New Zealand having opposedSydney, Brisbane, and Newcastle inthe attempts of tie latter to hare thisadjusted.
What the Commonwealth engineershold to be an unpardonable breach ofetiquette, however, h what they im«agino to have been the action of NewZealand engineers in serving as fire-men and trimmers, in contravention ofKulo 87, and thus it is urged import-ing industrial trouble into Australia.The Commonwealth men had decidedto abido strictly by this rule, but theynow state that the New Zealand en-gineers ignored it. In tho circum-stances tho Commonwealth engineersdesire to bring about a severance be-tween the two countries so far as theInstitute of Marino Engineers is con-cerned. A ballot is being taken on thosubject. The foregoing is the summaryof tho Australian view of things.
Real Reason for Ballot. £~V"'On inquiries being made by aDominion-reporter yesterday it- was as-certained that the ballot which is nowbeing taken, has nothing whatever to
do with the action of tho Now Zea-land engineers' during tho recentstrike. Tho question at issue concernsonly tho government of tho AustralasianInstitute as a wholo, and the proposalto take a ballot was decided upon longbefore the striko took place. At pro-sent the New Zealand Institute and thoAustralian Branch are affiliated, andeven if the ballot does decide in favourof two separate iusitutes being formed,a working agreement will still be inoperation between tho two countries. Itis understood that a four-fifths majorityis required to bring the proposed separa-tion into effect. The ballot should becompleted about the end of March.
That "Breaoh of Etiquette."Referrring to th© "unpardonable
breach of etiquette" which it is allegedhas been committed by New Zealand en-gineers in "serving as firemen and trim-mers in contravention of Rule 87, andthus importing industrial .trouble intoAustralia," a prominent official of thoInstitute said that members of the NewZealand branch of the Institute had notbroken the rnlo referred to. "As amatter of fact," he continued, "our en-gineers did not sign on as firemen andtrimmers on any steamers during thaperiod of tho striko. All that ourmembers did was to instruct the newArbitrationists in their work. Some-times tho amateur firemen became soseasick that engineers had to firo thoship for a time to savo her from goinginto danger. This is provided for inour rules, and tho wholo report from
jAustralia can, therefore, bo absolutelydiscounted."Engineers and tho Guild.
It has been stated that a workingagreement exists between th* Engineers,
Institute and tho Merchant ServiceGuild, and also that the engineers aro ,
I taking a ballot with the object of can'celling the agreement. From inquiriesmade yesterday', it was learned that fromreliablo sources that tbore ia no euchagreement in existence, and no ballot

EX-STRIKERS IN STRAITS.HUNGER & THE BAILIFFS.
j /(Bj Telesraph—Special Ooirespendent,)Auckland, January 16.
Careful inquiries show that there ismuch distress in tho City among mar-ried men who recently went out onstrike, who have- now lost their occupa-tions, and whose domestic responsibil-ities make, ib impossible for thorn toseek work elsewhere. There is only avery small sum available to the strikecommittee, and it is far from being suf-ficient to relievo all of tho most press-ing cases of distress. In many casessmall sums aro being advanced to pre-vent actual hunger, but no attempt canbe mado to aid strikers in paying theirrent. Bailiffs havo been put into num-erous liouscs and,.in some cases, evic-tions havo taken place, but no case isknown of agents having taken posses-sion of a man's furniture.
One- private bailiff has been so im-pressed with certain pathetic cases olpoverty that ho has paid out of hisown pocket sufficient rent to procurehouses for indigent persons, and ho isin communication with country friendswith a view to obtaining employmentfor mon whom ho regards as tho vic-tims of unfortunate circumstances, andwhoso families aro faced witb. tho dreadof finding thomselves at any momenthomeless and hungry.
Yesterday imorning a man, who hasa family of '13 children, had thereforecannot loavo tho city, hatl to bo givenaid. Another, wlioso family numbersfive, said that ho had not eaten fowlBinco 3 p.m. tho previous day. Therewas a littlo food in his liouso, hut itwas for his children. Very'meagreadditions are now being received to thorelief fund, but yesterday morning ■ abusiness man, after making a search-ing cross-examination of tho officials,handed over £10 for tho relief of th<>'innocent sufferers.
On account of tho disorganisationthat lias taken place- in tho ranks of thowatersiders who went out on strike- itis impossible to givo an estimate- of thenumber of men in need of pressing em-ployment, but a meeting is to !io holdto ascertain tho position. .

LETTERS TOTHE EDITORTHE MAJORITY QUESTION.
Sir,—I. have been interested in tnostatements contained in the correspond-ence'published by you nbovo tho signa-tures of "Moderate" and "Ono Vote,Ono Value," and especially with respectto tho moaning of tho qualifying clausein the Scotch. Act quoted by both cor-respondents. -. If tho wording of thisclause lias been correctly quoted, tlieiocan bo only ono meaning, and that aplain one, attached to it. To earryNo-License in any district So per cent,or more- of tho votes polled must be eastin its favour, but to make tho poll valid,this 55 pf?r cent, must represent at least
I 35 per cent, of the total number of[ voters on ;tho' roll. This means thatto validate a poll at which No-Liccnsois to be carried 64 per cent, of theelectors must vote, seeing' that tho 55per eont, who earry No-License mustbo equal to tho 35 per cent..of the totalnumber of electors. If, therefore, wetake as tho number of, voters thatquoted by both 1 your correspondents,viz., 5500, this in tho easo of the. Scot-tish Act must represent a votingj strength of 8594 on the roll. If 55 percoat, of these votes are recorded ferNo-License, or 3025, and the remainder,or 2475, against it, No-License is car-ried, seeing that tho 3025 r&prosent 3=lper cent, of the roll strength 0f.8594.Thusa majority of otiQ of tho votes willin this instance carry No-License, whichis exactly the majority required .in New
j Zealand tmder tho proposed law, whenI a liko _ Tmmber of votes are recorded.There is, therefore, no difference as tothe majority required when tho actualvotes polled aro taken into considers*tiou in both eases. ( The difference ishero, that.in New Zealand, the 5300voters may represent any proportion ofthe voting strength. This appears to
. mako it easier to earry No-License inNew Zealand as compared with Scot,land, seeing that it is quite possiblefor a poll to be'taken, nn/l only 50 percent, or less of tho voters on tho rollto yote. Yet if 55 per cent, of thosevoting favour No-License it will bo car-■ried; wh-ercas wider the' Scotch Act atleast 64 per-rent, must vote in orderto allow the'No-Licenso Jrsug to obtainits 35 per cent, of the roll, number and53 per cent, of the votes polled. While-therefore I cannot agree with "Mod-erate" in all his arcunients, he appearsto bo correct in his main contentionthat tho proposed change in New. 55ea-!land will lunke it easier to carry Na-tional Prohibition than it is to carryNo-License in any of the. Scottish dis-tricts under the Scotch Act.—l am. etc,lux. .;
THE LESSON OF NEW SOUTHWALES.
Sir,—The complete results of the No-Liceuso polling in New Sonth TVjakshave not yet come to hand, and aocord-
: ing to your cablegrams 6ome results! nave been suspended <m account of cer-tain irregularities. However, the re-sults of all but.four electorates—Gran-ville, Hurstville, Hartley, and Glouces-ter—have been, announced, and thofigures when analysed enable tho readerto answer tho question: Has No-Licensoadvanced in New South Wales?It may bo remembered that an emin-ent Now Zealand No-Licenso advocatereturned from a visit to New SouthWales last September,. and gave outthis which was telegraphed all overth© Dominion: "I have been campaign-ing for six months in New South Walesand other, States in'the interests of No-Licenso. I spent most of the time inNew South Wales. This is 'their local'option .year. They will bo 'having a pollm November. . . . Thie is theirtrurd poll $n local option and I thinktlioro is more hope now for'No-Lioen'sV.than at any time in tho past."The wish was parent to this thought,for tho figures now available show thatthis and other No-Licenso advocateshave made little- impression .upon tholevel-headed electors of the motherState. .With your loavo I would liketo institute a comparison between theNo-License and the licensing or con-tmuanco voting of the years 1907 nnd1913. In tho first year (1907) tho localoption vote wos token 75,000 voted forreduction, and in 1913 the reductionvote fell to "44,000, and tho percentagoof the reduction yoto to the whole felllfrom< 16.3 in 1907 to 6.G in 1913. ."Re-■duction" as an issue in New SouthWales is being rapidly obliterated. ■Let us now consider and contrast tliocontinuance and No-License figures.
Votes Percentage-. .: polled. of votes,
' . ' 1907. polled.Continuance ... 209,474 451 .•No-Licease 178,8821 38.5
' ' ■' 1913. 'Continuance ... 382,087 50 7No-License 246,345 36.5
_ Thus, while the continuance voteincreased by over 11 per cent:, the No-License vote decreased by exactly 2■per cent, in proportion to tho whole.But it will bo observed that tho No-hcense voto increased in numbers by67,463, and tho continuance voto byI/L',613, or approximately'the voto forNo-Lioense increased by ono vote whilecontinuance increased by three. No-Lieonfi.o cannot claim to have made anyreal progress in New South Wales, andtho predictions of the' prohibition ad-vocato in September Inst have been al-together falsified by tho actual results.And tho worst of it from*a, New Zea-land viewpoint is that tho public writ-ers in Now South Wales point- thofinger <if scorn at this country, and ,af-firm that hero in this.Dominion, wherewo carry Prohibition'and No-License tothe. verge of insanity or fanaticism,and where 12 areas are already "dry,"we aro consuming more liquor per headof the population and creating tolative-|v more intoxication thaa in the motherState where No-Liceuso and Prohibitionis a diminishing quantity.
What is the explanation? Can it bothat the intemperateness of the No-Li-censo advocates incites ordinarily tein-perato men and women to over-indulg-ence? Whaiovw the reason tiro factsj stand, and the. sorry part of' it is thatthe contempt this country is earning foritself abroad on account of its Prohi-bition tendencies seems, to sano per»sons, to be deserred.—t am,'etc.,I■'' ' TEMPERANCE.

Tho Indian mail brings the story of a das-tardly hoax by me-ana of wirclflps tcle-graphj.-. A wopl-otwrylne boat, wmclt: ar-.
rived at Colombo at tho besinaing of thomouth from Australia, reported that shehd been delayed for sonio hours oa thorun, owing to tho receipt of a bogus wire-less meseage. The Bjcssoeo ran: "Cabinsfilling, can's last flvo minutes." and waaaccompanied by the eodo word of Uie Orientmail steamer Onsrah. Tbo operator sotinto touch with one- or two other vessels,but could obtain no eonfirmatioa of thesupposed disaetes, . The captain jnimeju.ately put bock, however, and made a dili-gent search far boats or wreckage aboutthe spot indicated. Nothing was foand.Iu shipping circles at Colombo tho bft-lief prevails that the bogus call was prob-ably sent by "one of tho numerous youth-ful' operators who form tho subordinatestaff of tho wireless cabins ol liners inthcsD waters." .-

ThoEecret has been. weU gijardce but it islaid bare at last. They had no oilstoves or gas or olectrk-hwted incubaterabut they had ovens which -worted bet-ter, even though they required more con-stnnt tending. Each oven was ealcuktedto hold 7000 cggSi and the fuel by whichit was heated consisted of chopped strawand (iimfr, but for tlie Inst tett dii,y« ofthe hatching tho energy was supplied al-together by tho chickens tlvcmsekes.

Thedirectors havo also before them tho prob-lem of a now mail contract, which is al-ways a critical episode in the company'shistory. Looking at these facte. ana thatthere is already a. feeling of depressionin tho freight market, the directors con-sider that, in order to secure, sis far aspossible, tho present satisfactory level ofdividend, tho steps taken, in promoting acontingent fund are entirely in the best in.tcrests of the'proprietors. With referenceto the Australian trade, the report statesthat it was disappointing as regards Home-ward freights, chiefly owing to a decrease\n the amount of refrigerated cargo.

SOUTHERN GRAIN MARKET.(By Telegraph—Preen Association.)
Chrlstchurch, January 15.A few samples of new oats and barley
have been shown on the local market, butno spies are yet reported. The oats areAlgerians, and for .those Is. 6d. at countrystations has been offered, but not accepted.The barley ehown was discoloured, butit is expected that the later harvested cropwill be much fetter. Some new Italianryegrass seed has also been offered. Thereis no disposition on tho part of grainmerchants to make purchases of anythingbut wheat. In the case of oats, it appearsas if tho United Kingdom will be the onlyoutlet, and there is therefore no specu-lative, tone in the market. •'

Eovicwing the frozen meat trado, "TheTiuHM" says; that it may bo truo that thototal quantity imported to Great Britainfrom ftor'th. and South Africa- is little morethan the o.nnntity imported from thoseBources in 1907, but, whereas at an earlierdate there was considerable rivalry ani&ngAmerican suppliers. The rapid disappear-ance of the: United States as exporters haseliminated much of that healthy competetion. Australasian shippers will doubtlessnote that two American companies export-ed 'a-great quantity of' River Plato beefthan did cither Australia or New Zealand,in- tho form of beef, mutton, and lambcombined.

GENERAL NEWS... # The Kaupokoriui Dairy Company ha*just landed, through Mr. Julius- A.Lutz, tho New Zealand agent, a ver>fine 5-ton motor wagon, in addition towhich a further motor is on. order tocope with the busy season's transportbetween the factory and Hawora. Thesecond wagon should also land thisweek.
It is estimated that over 1000 balesof wool have so far been railed froniTaihapo this season. Shearing is stillin progress in many localities, and bigloads of this season' 6 clip are beingcarted' to the Utilcu, Taihapo, Mataroa,and Hihitahi railway stations.
A sidelight on land value in theHawke's Bay district was switched on atthe meeting of the Hawke's Bay LandBoard (says the "Hawke's Bay. Hor-ald"). AJi application was made totransfer 1977 acres at Ngatapa to ayoung settler 21 years of age, "the con-sideration being set down at £19,772.The board considered this was veryhigh. Captain John Tombloson, fatherof the transferee, waitedupon theboardand explained that he was placing hiseon upon the section to give him a start."Do you not think tho consideration
is a bit high?" asked the Commissioner."You can't get good land any cheaper,"
replied Mr. Tombleson, "and it is nouse buying rubbish. lam quite satis-fied that a good margin can be made offtheproperty at the fagure."

When prices for most ofthe wools fall about Id.- per lb. it showsthat-everything is not what it should be,and 'although.' tho very cream of thomorinos.catalogued showed not a great-deal of change, yet tho bulk of tho woolsdeclined unmistakably to a' tower levelthan the majority expected. .Wo can-not eay that we arc in anywise surpris-edi although disappointed, for notwith-standing tho great doings on the part of.French and German buyers, yet bytbemsotves they are unable to sustainprices without tho material aid of thohomo trade, it being tho position andattitude of, tho large users in Yorksliirowhich has been really responsible forletting down tho market. But the ques-tion arises, Could thsy do otherwise?If tho 3iome trade is anything to ro byat tho moment, tho struggle for lowerprices is warranted.' Up to tho, presenthome buyera havo to a. large extentstood aside and Ist their foreign com-petitors monopolise all Belling centres,boJiig satisfied to adopt a liand4o-raouthpolicy beqauso trade- has _ so materiallyfallen off in tops, yarns' and pieoe-salike. For tho -first time for sev-eral years tlio West- Riding, trade hasplaved tho second part in tho pro-nrrammo, and it has been very galUngto many firms to have hem unable toplay the part they havo been accustom-ed 'to do- All tho same they have feltthat their policy of abstention was thosafest and best andor present circum-stances. •' ' '. '■
The Closing Days.The last few.-days of the series can-
notbut bo regarded as a-timo of-weak-ness, and to be candid there were timeswhen wool showed a very decided easocompared with th-o first week of thomictions. In cases where .clips wcrooffered in two portions, at differenttimes, during the series, those- sold dur-ing the closing days sometimes broughtprices Id. bebw thoso of tho earnerdays of the series. The decline wasmost in ovitfciJco on medium, _ woolsthat would not give a clean yield ofmore than 48 pei' cent., while on. faultydescriptions likewise tl)o loss was Jd. toId. Buyers seemed to settle down, towork only ou condition that theysecured cheaper wool. ■ All sections ofthe trade received word from Home thattho response has been nil, that! woolmust come cheaper, and unless it didthey must buy ieta. ..Realiy speakingtho chief cause of the ease.was tho ab-stention from buying of tho homo tradoduring the earlier portion of tho series,this having anything but an inspiringeffect upon Continental buyers, severalassorting that they wore- concerned re-garding the less active'compctjtioii onthe part of Bradford' in. particular.Both French and German buyers can-didly stated that- thov ,sajv no justi-fication for thcijf o-fiisiajught a-iid.tlteir,"paying prices', a i'ull 5 -per cent, above-those of tlio homo tratlai. -hence, whentheir most urgent requirements werefilled, they lowered their '■.limits and
began to operateonly at distinctly lowervalues. Towards the cud Aniericaabuyers also gave less active support, infact, the 3000 bales they, are reputed tohave taken is a mere bagatelle, and dur-ing tho last fow days of tho series the/purchased less than during the formerpart of tho auctions. Som'o are of theopinion that in view of tho heaviercon dition of the Australian clip thodecline in- price is mote superficial thanreal, but all tho same, instead of buyingwool on a clean scoured basis of 2s. 6d.,as was the'ease lu-st May, operators havebeen valuing this series on such a basisas, to bring in tops at 2s. 3d., whichis a different thing altogether. ■

The state- of tho Bradford market isstill largely disappointing, tho courseof tlio saies having made practically nodifference to it. As a matter of fact,tho hand-to-mouth buying is still iiioperation which has been so long.inevidence, no'sootion of tho trado beingyet disposed to largely fuitieijpato thofuture. At tli© same time wohavo everyreason for saying that tho .market' is, ifanything, somewhat hotter, .. at leafet,whilo no moro mc-fiey is possible, theturnover has been rather larger in prac-tically all descriptions' of wool, topf,yarns, and pieces. .We heard on goodauthority that a little more yam busi-ness is doing, based chiefly on somereasonable orders for coatings whichhave been given out on American ac-count. We know ono/shipping housethat has recently booked orders to theextent of £30,000, all for coatings andserges, aiid naturally this manufacturersreceiving these have had to huy. Stillthere are many as to thecomparative absence of activity on homeaccount, and a. very small voliißie oftrado is passing. Prices are to a largoextent nominal, andgood'G4'stops canstill be bought at 2s. 3d., with 60's Id.more. It is impossible to ma|to more,,even for yams, and 2-<lß's spunont of good 64' a tops canstill bo bought at &. 4d. ' This moansthat tho spinner has about Bd. for.spin-ning between' the .top a»d--tihe yatnprice, and whilo the margin, is sufficientto prevent a loss, still a little profitwill result. Crossbreds are slow, in fastif anything they are jusfc a' shade weakeron tlio week, and while common gossiphas it that40's prepared tap 3 have beensold as low as 14d., yet we do not be-Ihico any such statement. As a matterof fact,' 14$d. is the lowest pricp yettaken, although there is a persistentramour to'dayon 'ChanfM that 14Jα. hasactually been 'taken. Mohair ia' stag-nant and prices are n6 mort than nom-inal.
PORT OF LONDON AUTHORITY.
AN OFFICER IN NEW ZEALAND.(By- Telegraph —Press Association.)
Auckland, January 16.A visitor to Auckland at the preeent
time is Mr. J. H. Estill, commercialsuperintendent of tho Port of LondonAuthority, who comes as a represent*-,tivo from that body for the purpose- of.brisigrag prominently before snippersof produce tiro facilities,which the port
. affords, for tiro .handling- of ■ Australa-sian produce. ' 3li\'.Estill'says that'"atuthe present time £5,000,000 is being ex-
pended by tho Port of London Authorityon new. works.) and Now Zealand' pro-ducers would appreciate best what wasbeing done when it was understood that£400,080 alond was being spent in pro-riding improvements for the handling orfrozen meat. Tho Port Authority wasalso building at the Boyal.Albert Dockand at Smithfield Market what wouldbo the most up-to-date.meat stores in,the world, The improvements howunder , way. wrfuld bo completed in aboutfifteen months' time. The Port Author-ity's total programme involved an ex-penditure of £15,000,000, . ."I noticethat in some of 'your ,' pipers there is
, talk of 'subsidising lines of steamers totho of England," eaid Mr.Estill. "Now, I put it to you that flwreis no-need for,either Now Zealand orAustralia to spend public money in tMsway. Shipowners are only, too readyto carry cargo to any port in Englandor anywhere- else in the world- if thocargo is offering, without any ftuestionof subsidy. If the out-ports of -Lngkndare the gold miiiGs tljey aro nSleged tobo by their emissariesi how is it thatthe great importers who buy. 95 percent, of your frozen.meat havo not dis-covered 'them, -and why are they notsending business to thoso ports? Alltho principal importers have theiragents tiiore, .but "that is as far as itgoes. If Hull and Bristol can find forNew Zealand produce real. buyers pre-pared to give,a. little rnoro than Lon-don, then they, have a real ease to putbcfqro you, but not otherwise." Mr.Estill this morning had' an interviewwith tho Prime Minister, and discussedwith him various matters affectingHome trade. On Monday, afternoon Mr.Eeiill addresses a meeting of the Auck-land Chamber of Commerce. ..
According to the "Gaiilois," s. Londonjournalist has been, -bequeathed JE4I2 byhis great-uncle, it retired.colonel, M foreach of 103 occasions on iririth he listen-ed, always with great potirtes? and in-terest, to the old soldier's 6tory of abattle.

VIEWS AND REVIEWS.A Lucas Do Luxo.
Mr. E. V. Lucas's dolightful anthol-ogy of verso and prose, "Tho OpenRoad, a Book for Wayfarers," origin-ally published in 1899, has now reach-ed its twentieth Edition. Tlio pub-lishers, Messrs. Methuen and Co., havenow issued the book in an edition deiuxo, with illustrations in coolur byClaudo A. Shepperson, A.R.W.S. Thoformat is a noble quarto, tho ,typo em-ployed is largo and clear, and the ar-tistic spacing of tho letterpress andil ie typographical beauty generally ofthe book are most praiseworthy. It istoo late in the day to praise tho goodtasto and discretion displayed by Mr.Lucas in his selection of tho variouspooms and proso sketches, of which thevolume is. composed. Mr. Lucas iseasily first amongst'latter-day antholog-ists/and shines specially in his cleverarrangement of tho selected pieces intowell ordered groups. As to tho collec-tion itself, "it has," says its modestcompiler, "no claims to completeness ofany kind; it is just a garland of goodoren-kindling poetry nnd proso fittedto urge folk into tho open air, andonco there to keep them glad theycame . . .. to provide lazy readingfor tho .time of rest,- with perhaps aphrase or two for tho feet to step toand the mind to brood on when thorest is over."The Charm of the Road.
As showing tho' diversity of authorsand pieces quoted, let us tako thoproup headed "The Road." Openingwith Titania's "Courtesy to tho Way-farcr," Mr. Lucas gives us poeme byStevenson and William Barnes (a de-lightful bit of Dorset dialect). BlissCarman, the Canadian poet,, is next re-presented by his "Joys of tho Koad,"and then the compiler harks back tothe far away Greek anthology (Mac-kails translation) and .show's liowHcrraoa, tho Guardian of the Ways, washonoured in verse by tho ancient Greekpoots. . JXext follows a swinging balladbv_Hilaire Belloc, who, in his "Pathto Rome,' has equalled and almost bet-tered his model, Stevenson's "TravelsWith a Donkey," and anon, again,como quotations from authors ae di-verse m style as Walt Whitman, Wil-,Jiam Watson, Alice Meynell, FrancesThompson, Browning, T.

With its handsome typo, itscharming illustrations, and its excep-tionally tasteful binding, this editiondoluxe ol Mr. Lucas's famous antliolopyis an ideal gift book, and as such shouldbe widoly popular with liook-niiverc' Re-view copy per Whitcombe and Tombs.India Through American Classes.
Not for some years have-1 read a moropleasantly written and generally inter-esting book, oh India and tho Indianpeople than' Mr. M. M. Shoemaker'si"Indian Pages and Pictures" (G. P.Putnam and Sons; per Gcorgo Robert-Bon and Co.). Mr. Shoemaker is awealthy American who has written quitea number of books of travel—his "Is-lam'Lands," and "The Hoart of theOrient" are familiar titles—and pos-sesses a decidedly happy gift for invest-ing his descriptions of oft-depictod coun-tries and cities with a now and quitefascinating interest. This is his sec-ond book on India, an earlier volumohaving been devoted to Southern India.Ho now describes. his journeyings andexperiences in Northern India, paying'Bpccial attention to the native states oftho Hajputana, to Sikkim, the Punjaub,and last, but not least, in interest,Kashmir. Two of his most interestingchapters doal with Oudeypoor and Chi-tor, two quaint, littlo known cities,which, by «tho way, figure prominentlyin Kipling's story, "Tho Naulahka."It is when one reads, as ono does inMr. Shoemaker's pages, that Chitor, ,"tho Paraso) of tho World," was cap-tured by "Bappa Rawal," whose loin-cloth was five hundred yards long,whoso spear was too heavy for mortalto lift, from "Man Singh," a Moriprinco, over eleven hundred years old,when Charlemagne reigned in Europe,"that ono grasps somo idea of the por-tentous antiquity of theso Indian cities.A Story From Chitor.
Thoso of my loaders who remembertho gruesome adventure of Kipling'shoro, the young American drummer.
who found his way into "the Cow'sMouth" at Chitor, and was luckyenough to find his way out again, maybo iutorested in tho following extractfrom Mr. Shoemaker's description ofwhat happened at Chitor whon the Mus-sulmans (somewhere about 1303) fin-ally drove out tho Rajputs:—
Tho Rajputs appear 'to haverealised that their ruin was inevit-able, as the Mussulmans had de-creed that this last refuge of thoidolators should be destroyed. RanaLakshman desired to save at leastone of his twelve sons to perpetu-ate his dynasty, but the militaryspirit of Chitor. the' blood-thirsty"Kangra Itance, appeared and de-clared:."! must hayo royal victims:twelve crowned princes must shedtheir blood, thon their descendantswill rule." Lakshman told hiscouncil of tho vision and its de-mands, but they implored him toregard it but as a fearful dream, .whereupon tho Kangra Ranee ap-peared to all, crying: "I must haveRoyal blood; let every day a princebo crowned and reign for threedays, and then go forth to death inbattle. Only on these conditionswill I remain with you." This wascarried out until the last son wasreached, whom the old fatlier per- •Buaded to escape secretly to themountains. The father then an-nounced that ho would perish in hisstead, and the awful sacrifico ofJohar was decided upon. The cav-erns at the Cow's Mouth were filledwith inflammables, and on this vastpyre all the women, jewels, and dia-monds, all that could excite the cu-pidity of tho enemy, were placed.The women numbered several thou-
, sands, led by their queen, Pud-,manee, who so escaped insult. Thetorch was then applied and at thismoment the Eana threw open theouter gates, and with the last war-riors rushed upon the enemy andperished to a-man, but only aftertaking terrible vengeance.
The British Rule. .
Of Akbar's "Town of' Victory," of"Tho Seven Cities of Delhi," of Benares,Calcutta, Lahore, Peshawar—and theKhyber Pass—Mr. Shoemaker givessome interesting descriptions, but ho isat his best in his account of his longjoumeyings in Kashmir, of which pic-turesque and still, comparatively speak-ing, little known region, ho gives ascries of most fascinating pictures. Theauthor does not, as a rule, concern him-self very much with present-day In-dian problems, but it is satisfactory tonotice that although he does not re-frain from adverse criticism upon in-dividual mistakes—and worse tnan mis-,takes—of tho. British officials, he oor- ;
dially admits the splendid results of Bri-tish .rule and scoffs, at. what, is ■ appar-.ently. the common American impression;'that a democratic method of admin js- , .tra.ti_on_ should, bo ■ introduced'. ■ ...This,admission,, ' I" may remind v myreaders,; >'. was . -: .;:jajso.: •'■'., made.-1;by'JOthivt, ■;.:kec]iV^!; ;( 'A^rjca^<;ntid■ '■ student,;;of ■ ,' ,' questions, '■■'Mr. P.rico.-Collier,,-..whpsq.'.'.book'-jrVTho-'West:incommentary fttlej'-Bofc-phly*in India,-but' throughout^thoiEast;-Mr.-.;Shoemaker's volume is provided with'a'series of excellent illustrations, somoseventy; in. number, many of them be-ing from photographs by tfro author'swife. The book ihakes excellent readingthroughout. To any New Zealandercontemplating an Indian tour, it-would,be most useful, as tho'author not infre-quently gives somo excellent hints ouwhat to see-and how best to see it.
In Central America.Since the- construction of the Panama
Canal was taken . in hand by theAmericans the eyes of the world havebeen increasingly directed towards thoCentral American ■ Republics, theirsplendid natural resources, arid, alas,their, long record of villainously' badgovernment. I/i a recently-publishedwork, "Guatemala and the States ofCentral America" 'London, G. Bell andSons; Wellington, Whitcombe and.Tombs), Mr. Charles W." Domville-Fife, whose previously published vol-umes on Brazil and other South.Ameri-can States are well and . favourablyknown, waxes quit-5 enthusiastic overthe prosperous future in store for thoCentral American States if only theirinhabitants can refrain from their oldand reprehensible habit of indulging inmore or less frequent revolutions. Theauthor presents his readers with a de-tailed description of tho natural fea-tures, government, commercial and in-dustrial enterprises, and social life ofGuatemala.,Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Sal-vador, and Honduras, - his book beingthe result of several months' travellingin these countries. To Guatemala, hode-votes nearly half his book. It is thelargest, most populous, and by far thomost important State in Central Ame-rica, having an area of nearly 50,000square miles, and a population of nearlytwo millions. With a coast-line ontwo oceans, it .has fine foroversea commerce, and although thenarroiv stretches of country borderingthooceans are subject to excessiveheat,the interior table-lands: enjoy n. healthyclimate-. According to.Mr. Fife theGovernment is now'fairly settled, andeducation is bnjng specially encouraged.'but I notice that he does not refer atany length to the President Cobrera,,who, according ,'to an American writer(Mr. G. P. ,PutiininY, in his recently-'published book,. "The. Southland ofNortli Amorien," is a cruel tyrant, nndhas "riot boon .wen in pub'in for twoypiire." According " to Mr. Fife,f.'obrera "is nil activn supporter of theCentral American Peace Conference,that vnlunbl" movement 'promoted' byMm United States, towards the estab-lishment of a better understandine be-tween these neighbouring Republics ofNew America."' ' ,
"Send Moro Roue." ..
~ Guatemala rejoices in a system otcompulsory, military service of onoyear's duration, between the ages ofeighteen and twenty. ' As, however, therich may' purchase immunity, and re-cruiting is confined chiefly'to the poor,the anti-militarist is not unknown intlio land, and "tho Government re-servos the right to send out their, press-gang when urgent necessity arises."During tho last revolution, so tho storygoes, the commandant of an inlandtown sent down to a villago for volun-teers. Escorted by a company of sol-diers, they came—somo bound hand andfoot and pack-mules, some tiedtogether, others walking with their,hands roped to tho mules' tails. Withthis consignment tho commandant re-ceived - from tho officer in cliargo thefollowing note:—"l send you herewiththo volunteers required. If you wantany more, send moro rope." >
Indian Superstition.
Mr. Domville-Fife gives a favourableaccount of the Guatemalan people,specially praising them for their unfail-ing courtesy and kindness to strangers.Tlie native race- are descendants of tlioQuiches. Toitocs, and Caribs. Nomin-ally a Catholic, and. us a rule, a niostdevout son of the Church, the Indian,says our author, "will often creep awnywith awe in his soul to consult tho old.
wrinkled wizard, whoso rites of mingled(iro and dovil worship still exercise acharm over the untutored mind. Thenwith words of magic in his ears ho willreturn to tlio church, and there, beforethe Christian'altar, will burn the same,meenso that bis ancestors hundreds ofyetiriTago prepared for their idol wor-ship. In what a New Zealanderwould call the "back-blocks" of Guate-mala "some of tho Indians firmly be-hevo that tho camera, or tho mail be-hind it, can firo into his stomach apailful of snakes.". Nevertheless, theauthor succeeded in setting somo excel-lent and interesting "snaps," the illus-trations in'his book being very numer-ous. In tho capital there is a finoState Opera House, indeed most of theCentral American capitals seem to boexceptionally well supplied with amuse-ments.
The Future of Central Amerioa.Tho whole region—Nicaragua, particu-
larly—is volcanic, earthquakes being offrequent occurrence, and at times mostdisastrous-in their effects. -But thenative Spaniard or Indian is not per-manently disquietened by a volcanicoutburst or carthqnako. If his one-story adobe house tumbles down, he sim-ply builds it up again. In tho citiesbnolc_ and stone- are freely used forbuilding material, , and some, of tho pub-lic buildings would, in size and archi-tectural features, be worthy of a Euro-pean city. What is to bo tho future,of these Central American States whenonco tho Panama Canal is open andAmerican interest in, tliis region
_be-comes -even greater than it is at pre-sent, Mr. Fife does not attempt topredict. The task of conquest, wereit ,ever attempted by "los Ameri-canos," would not be easily accomplish-ed, for to the northerners the coun-try'would bo difficult to traverse, andevery man of tho population can notonly fight, but rather likes it thanotherwise. The population is over in-creasing. -
A "Full Cradle" Country.'There is ■no need iii these countriesto preach the "full-cradlq" gospel. On
the contrary,, the families aro some-times- quite alarmingly large. ' SaysMr. Fife:—
In such a country as this, all,;lovo affairs aro apt, according to
our iiotions, to be somewhat vol-.eanic. Tho Spaniard, as a rule,is more gallant as a, lover, than con-: stant as a husband. Not long ago
a French traveller, visiting an oldhidalgo in his "h'inca," congratu-lated him upjon tho vigour withwhich he carried his years. "Yes,"ho replied, taking his wife by thearm, "I have'had thirty-four chil-dren by this spouse, and more than,forty elsewhere."Of the, natural .beauties of,tho.region,
its splendid forests, the luxuriance oftho vegetation, the fertility of the soil,and the fine possibilities of a greatly-increased volume of commerce and in-dustry, the author has much to say.The labour difficulty is a drawback, ne-groes being imported from the WestIndies. - John Chinaman, too, has■found his way there, and may yet provoan important factor in tho develop-ment of these countries. Mr. Fife'schapters on the earlier civilisation ofCentral America, of tho Aztec and Tol-tec religions, and of the many ruinedtemples in the interior of both Guate-mala and Costa Rica, are specially in-teresting. Tho excellent illustrationsaro a feature of the- book, but I de-plore the absence of an', index.' '
The Quaker. Poet,.It be,: indeed, I think it is highly
' probable,, 'tliitt Whittier's-poetry; for tho"most part, is not' destined to perman-ent fame, .but. nevertheless.; there, will-I always jbplinany, wHtfJ-Kfe.'/lilBpr;"''w'ijloccasionally tiirn to the'simple, earnestverse of tho Quaker poet. l"ahv glad,therefore, to see, that y Whittier volumehas now been ■ added to'that admirable'series, "The World's-Classics,', , ..publish-ed:-by tho "Oxford University Press"(London, Humphrey Milfprd). • In soriiesimple, pleasant lines, quoted by Mr.Edmund Gosso ina delightful essay, "AVisit to Whittier," included 'in Mr.Gosse's last volume of literary studies,"Portraits and Sketches." Whittier hasoffered his own apology:
. Hater of din and riot■■■ He lived in days unquiet;: And, lover of all beauty,
'■ Trod the hard.ways of"dutv.To all who ■ liumbly' sufferedHis tongue and pen he offered,His life was not liio own
. Nor lived, for • self alone.In the-essay to which I allude, Mr.Gosse remarks: "Whittier is not rioh,
nor sonorous, nor a splendid artist; heis yeven rather rarely exquisite, but hehas an individuality of his own that isof durable importance. He is filled withmoral enthusiasm, as a trumpet is filledwith the breath of. him who blows it.His Quaker quiotism concentrates itselftill it breaks in a real .passion-rstormof humanity/arid when Whittier is rous-ed ho sings with the thrilling sweet-ness of a 'wood-thrusli." The new edi-tuin .is beautifully'printed, as-indeed,are all the "Oxford Press" books, andis neatly bound.' (New Zealand price,fifteenpeiicc.) " '
LIBER'S NOTE BOOK.A curious misprint slipped into mynotice last week of Rodin's book,Rodin being referred to as tho "famous
sea sculptor." How tho ."sea." got thereonly tho linotype knows, and tho "lino"has'no more memory than it lias con-science.
Mr. Malcolm • Boss's 'forthcomingwork on Alpine climbing ami moun-taineering generally- in New Zealand, isto bo published by Mr. Edward Ar-nold, a well-known,.London publisher,and not by Messrs. Munn and Co.,as stated in this column recently._
Another book- of 'special interest toAew Zealandors which should make itsappearance b'efore Very long, issMr TL. Buiek's work on' "The Treaty of.waitangi.!' By a recent mail the au-thor, received some samj)le proof-sheetsfrom London. Judging from them, thetypographical get-up of the book willbo exceptionally good.• Mr. Robert M'Nab, who was in townthe other day, is. busy correcting thefinal proofs of the second volume ofthe New Zealand Historical Records,which ho is editing for the Govern-ment. A special feature of the volume,which, it is hoped, will be ready forpublication in about three months fromnow, is'a translation, bv Mr. Wilsontho Parliamentary Librarian,-of aviously unpublished, detailed account oftho circumstances attending tho murderof tho French commander, Marion doFresno, at the Bay of Islands. Theoriginal account was discovered by Mr.M'Nab in tho archives of" tho FrenchAdmiralty. t
Certain English critics of Mr. ATgarLabouchoro Tho.rold's life of his famousuncle, Henry Labouchere, have been, Inotice, expressing regret that tho bookdoes not contain more "good stories"of "La-bby." But tho interest midvalue of tho biography, as a series ofchapters in English-political history, nroby no means to be underrated." Forinstance, in view of the present-dayprominences of tho Irish Homo lluloquestion, how interesting is this pas-sage, from a letter written by Laboii-clicro to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain inISB6:—
I should say myself thai it wouldha far bolter not to have the Irishat AVcstminstor at all; this wouldtnw.t the conundrum of an Imperialand an English Ministry. As astatistical fact, Ireland does notnow contribute much more tliait
■ the cost of her civil government to' tho Itupoi'ial Exchequer. Lot horoontribul* nothing, or toma fixed
sum for armaments (which sho pro- ■'■■.bably wouid not pay). Sho woulcl.',;;bo liko tho Dominion. Wo should.::'hold tho country through the Army.;.*!and tlio fortresses, and if she tried jKto separate, we should suspend thoX;Constitution. But as a matter of >;'fact sho would not try. The Irishidea of patriotism is to servo the.,country at a good salary, ..and.,get places "for cousins, etc. , . You',:;;would see that Irish polities'would \'
becomo a perpetual vestry fight for ■■■,tho spoil. .j'-. <* :i ~
To be noted by admirers of Maeter-linck. Jethro Bethell, whose transja-.tions of latter-day French and Belgianpoetry have been issued in the "Can-'terbury Poets" series, lias written anentirely now study of Maeterlinck, hislifo and work, for Scott's "GreatWriters Series" (New Zealand price,Is. 3d.). This is in every way a mosthelpful and excellent littlo book, which,having bought "for keeps" aud re-idwith pleasure, I can cordially commend.
Two recenf>~«dditions to that admir-able- s'eries, dolVins's "The Nation'sLibrary," are to hand from the pub-,lishers, and will be noticed nest week.
SOME RECENT FICTION.A NEW ENGLAND STORY. . ;
The New England stories of KatoDouglas Wiggin have always been verypopular with New Zealand readers, andthe latest work'from the same pen towhich wo otto Rebecca SuunybrookFarm, and "Rose o' the River," will,I think, further cement the favour inwhich this author's work is held. In"The Story of AVaitstill Baxter" (Hod-der and Stoughton; per S. and W.Mackay), Miss Wiggin gives her ad-mirers a Very charming study of NewEngland rural life. Her heroine, thedaughter, by his second wife, of Dea-con Foxwell Barker— "Foxy" ia hislocal nickname—is a delightful creation,as pretty as sho is patient, asgenerous as- the Deacon is the opposite,for the "extraordinary unbelievable, col-ossal meanness" of "old man Baxter"is a byword amongst his neighbours.The Deacon has had, and has buried,throe wives, the third of whom, on herdeathbed, tells her step-daughter:"You've got more courage than everI had . . . don't you suppose you canstiffen up and defend yourself a littlemito? . . . Your father ought to baopposed, for his own . good, but I'venever seen anybody that dared do it."And Waitstill, though long-suffering bynaturo, does "stiffen up," and there isa revolution at Town House Hill Farmsuch as that domestic tyrant, the. Dea-con,, could hardly, believe possible.Exactly how the Deacon meets hisWaterloo I must not say. There ismuch excellent humour in this story,and an exceedingly pretty Iqvc interest,in which, of course, the quaintly-namedheroine is prominent.
"THE COLDEN BARRIER."Three recent additions to Methucn's
Colonial Library (per Whiteombo andTombs) are "The Golden Barripr," byAgnes and Egerton' Castle; "The SeaCaptain," by H. C. llailoy; ■ and "Onoof tho Angels," by Evelyn Beacon. Mr.and Mrs.. Castlo are practised story-tellers, and if tho touch, of puro ro-manco to which they have accustomedreaders of "Tho Prido of Jcnnieo,". "In-,comparable Bcllairs," nnd others oftheir earlier novels, is hardly so muchto the fore in their latest efforts, it isnono the less a' , well-written'and veryentertaining story. The ljeroino, a.young lady of great wealth, is sur-rounded by a host of sycophants'andparasites, but''eventually-iniwries herland agent, an ex-Army man, who haslionestiy striven to protect her from tu-o'impecunious-. -. flatterers, ; : --unpublishedpoets, aM tihacte'ddVamatiifts, by whomsho is beset. For a time ttio.pair arevery happy, but the husband; findingit/ necessary to choke off ono of" themore persistent, and impudent of thounrecognised geniuses to whom liis wifefoolishly plays Lady Maecenas, is fiatmt-ed by hor as havinghimself been apoor man before, she married him.. Anopen breach, a parting, aud, for a time,a clashing of two proud and obstinatenatures, tho sycophants, of course,highly rejoicing and plotting te furtherwiden the breach, which, however, hap-pily for husband and wife, is eventuallyended by a surrender on both sides anilcreditable to both parties.'- A certainIsidore Blaiso, a political adventurer,whoso special lino is "the -uplifting' oftho people," is a most amusingly sat-irical portrait.
"THE SEA CAPTAIN."Mr. H. C. Bailey, in "Tho Sea Cap-
tain," proves that ho_ has lost none ofthe powers of invention and vigour ofstyle which he exhibited in previousnovels, such as "The tjonely Queen,""Storm and Treasure," and "The Faceof Clay." The hero of his new storyis aji Elizabethan adventurer, half hon-est merchant, half pirate, who tradeste tho Mediterranean what time thoMoorish corsairs, who put out'of Tri-poli, and Tangiers, and preyed uponthe merchants' fleet of Genoa andVenice, were specially active. Thereis , more than a smattering of real his-tory iri this spirited narrative of ' thogallant exploits of Captain Ryming-towne, but not ono passage is therewhich smacks of padding; indeed soclosely packed with stirring incidentsare Mr. Bailey's parres that there isscant room for anything of the sort.If I havo a complaint agninst thisrattling yarn of Mi\ Bailey's it is thatthe author has been, just a trifle'Tnoconscientious in reproducing what iiepresents as thespeech of the period.. ITomay be perfectly accurate, but on occa-sion one feels that a. glossary would notcome amiss. But it is a great storyfor "cut and slash," for daggpr play, forweasand splitting, and. the like, and avery pleasant 'evening can bo spent inits perusal.

"ONE OF THE ANGELS." "The "white slave" novel is becoming
rather a nuisance. Even when it is welldene, as in Elizabeth E-obins's ''WhereAro You Going To ?" it is doubtfulwhether the 'moral effect is reallywholesome. -When it is made tlio-pro-tenco by some third-rater'scribbler forbeing ''.realistic"—to catch the shillingsof ihe pruriently minded—itis more orJess disgusting; and, yet again, when it.is written in an'absurd key of heroicsand without even a suspicion of truthto life,' it is simply silly. Miss EvelynBeacon's story, "One of tho Angels',"belongs te the last category. It reekswith improbability; and is "written in acrudely amateurish stylo, which,' evenhad the leading characters and incidentsbeen more true to life, would,have beensufficient to injure any small chance ofsuccess tho story, might have possessed.It would do the author good to readMrs. Gsillichan's article in ■ a recentissue of "Tho English Review" on thewhite slave traffic. An ounce of factis worth a ton of such piffling fiction as"Ono of tho Angels." . ■ ~

Miss Grace Palotta, who is playingtho titlo role in "Aladdin," tho panto-mime at tho Adelphi Theatre, Sydney,is not only in the front rank cif actress-es in- Australasia, • but she- is able tospeak fluently six languages—English,French, German, Spanish, Italian, andRussian, German she learned to speakat quite an early ago, and before- shewas ten years old the understood Frenchthoroughly. A few years later sho hadmastered Spanish and Russian, "Rus-sian," says Miss Palotta, "I found. liyfar tho hardest to learn on account oftiio presence of so many difficultsounds in it. It ismado harder alsoto one learning it by the fact thatmany' things havo three- or four names,each of which must bb used in its pro-par place. Nevertheless, I stuck to it,and at tho end of threo years I was■able to speak the language bo that Rus-sians when they heard mo smiled. Pre-viously they had laughed. "Some, dayI think I will got busy and introduce anew system of teaching foreign lasi-guages.

On one occasion Miss 'Palotta acted asan interpreter in a court.' It was ,;n. aseaport near Trieste, on tho Austriancoast, where imirdors aro of*.frequentoccmrence. While Miss Palot-ta wasspending a few days in tho town a stab-bing affray took place, .in which a manfrom Northern Russia killed an Italian.The former was arrested, but owing tothere being nobody available who under-stood his language, t'-io authorities werein a quandary. Eventually a Russianwho spoke tho Siberian dialect of the
/prisoner was found, but again therewas a hitch on account of the inter-preter nut being able te spealt German.At last an arrangement was fixed up byMiss Palotta coming to the assistanceof the perplexed officials. The evidenceof tho accused man was given in theSiberian dialect to tho interpreter, whorepeated it in Russian to Miss Palotta,who translated it into German. _ Thecase, however, finished by the prisonerbeing discharged on aeeount of the dis-appearance of one of tho chief witnessesfor the prosecution.

CHINESE PROBLEMS."So deeply do wo fed the impropriety
of placing any religion in a. positionwhere- it will .seem to sustain official ro-lations to the Government," says thoNow York "Christian Advocate"(Moth.), "that when a distinguishedAmerican, whoso uamo is inseparablyconnected with Protestant missions, wasinvited to become Ambassador iiLChina, wo rejoiced at his good sense inrefusing tlie offer, though.;Wα believedhim eminently qualified for the position.Ho is known chiefly for Itis missionaryzeal, and so identified with'a denomina-tion of aggressive Christians, that,whatever lvis talents far diplomacy, allhis acts, however disinterested thcflmight be, would bo under suspicion a'aproducts of religious cunning.

A POLITICAL'SCRIPTURE LESSON.One characteristic ef tho better sort,
cf American journalism it i'to offectivouse it nialces of Scriptural tiiiotatioiiand illustration. The day after therout of Tammany the-New York "Eyou- ,ing Post" h«3!ukd its' principal leadingarticle with tho following senteii-eo ic :italics :—

HISTORICAL COSTUME.. UNIQUE COLLECTION.
■ TYPES OF THREE CENTURIES.
A- unique collection of historical cos-tumes which, by the generosity ofMessrs. Harms, have- been secured forthe Victoria and Albort Mueeum, areon exhibition in the ■ galleries of thodonors in Brompton Road, London.
A private view and' inaugural lunch-eon, was held by invitation of Sir AlfredNowton (who presided) and the direc-tors, when many peoplo distinguishedin the worlds of politics, literature, andthe arts were present, including Mr. H.B. Irving, who proposed "ContinuedSuccess to.the Victoria and Albert Mu-seum," in a witty speech, in which hedwelt on the difficulties which tho ques-tion of costume presented to actors intho past, and told some amusing storiesof Maoready and of his father's earlydays in this connection.
Tho collection, which is in many waysunique, numbering over 2000 costumes,was made by Mr. Talbot Hughes, whohas spent something like twenty yearsin completing it. Having begun itoriginally in isolated examples of differ-ont periods, the fascination of. thecol-lection grew upon him, his rare artisticgifts and instinct making him singularlycapable of completing bo wonderful acollection. When ho decided recentlyto part with it, eager offers were madefrom America, whither tho priceless col-leotionf would doubtless have gone, hadnot Harrods stepped in, and, without amoment's hesitation, secured it for themuseum—all of which was explained bySir Arthur Newton, speaking for thefirm. ■ •.. fi ■ . '
The collection begins with costumes■worn in the reign of James I—extremelyrare examples, .these—notable..amongstthembeing a perfectly plain black velvetbodice with low round decollotage,which, ; but for its slashed sleeves andbasque, might well stand as the ortho-
dox "Court" bodice of the past decade.!Also in this very early group is a typi-cal poor's dress of the period, as well aea wonderful child's surtout of rare em-broidery, which is probably an absolutelyunique survival. Dress under QueenAnno was a much considered matter,and some wonderful examples of beau-tiful brocades arranged in long flowinglines opening over quaint petticoats areto bo seen. Later on, from J775 to theend of the contury,( are sonio rare sur-vivale of the Spitalfield silks, notablyone in an exquisite brocade, the ivoryground rendered of extremo depth oftone by the passage of years, brocadedwith :largo bunches of floivors in naturalcolours, the costume completed by anembroidered satin muff and reticule tomatch, tho latter, doubtless, for the win-nings at cards which thogroup,in whichthe example quoted figures are engagedin playing at a fine examplo of a cardtable of tho period.
There is more than a. hint of thebeauty of subdued artistic colouringwith which wo were to become.familiarin the revival of a hundred years later,in a, dress made in 1797, on severelysimple lines, of faint greenish silk,with a hint of golden sheen in it sur-mounted by-a loose coat of dull'blueclasped by gold buttons, which presentsa telling contrast to a magnificent gownof some few years previous of rich rose-coloured moire magnificently embroidor-od in gold, which forms a border to thelong flowing skirt, falling in a full trainat tho back, and opening over an under-dress of ivory moire embroidered inblue.
Almost startling in its'up-to-date sug-gestion is that of another dress of thelatest mode of the eighteenth century,for it is oarried out in the finest, filmi-est muslin, heavy embroidered aroundtho edgo iii a design of raised grapesand vino leaves, tho skirt very narrowand forming a long equare separate
: train behind, while the hair is almosthidden by a handkerchief of - brilliantgold arranged in turban fashion, throehuge shaded green feathers in quill formrising to;a great height at one side. _
And so we come to tho.Early Vic-torian dresses—a wonderful collection—and see before us tho ball gowns'of frill-ed tarlatan, decorated with_ colouredflowers, , and finished with tight littlebodies of iilk to match tho flowers-green or rose, or. yellow, as tho casemay be—of the 'sixties, the huge blackpoko.bonnots of the previous decades,and later the demure straw bonnets, thecrinolines, and full-basqued coats. Verycharacteristic is one dress of the crino-line epoch, the skirt of which is com-.posed entirely of, three or four flouncesof chene ribbon—very like the ribbon ofthat. ilk with its blurred rosy flowers
with which we aro all so familiar—-thefrills edged with narrow silk fringe, andtho costume completed by a' very tight-waisted jacket with full basquo com-posed of grey-blue silk stiffly borderedwith gold embroidery, the discreet pokebonnet.of yellowish straw originally wopwith tho dress being still shown with it.
And so we reach what is a worthycompletion to a wonderful show, yetone' not without almost pathetic in-terest; this is the first doll dressed byQueen Victoria, a waxen beauty, nowdull and blue with ago, but showingstill the smirk of stiff self-consciousnessworn by all self-respecting dolls thenand for so many years later. The dressis an outdoor one of drab material em-broidered in the neatest and most pains-taking of fashions in stiff little flowersand leaves, a correct poke bonnet ofstraw poised upon the matted curls oftow. Pathetic, too, in their memories,are two waxen figures near by the Royaldoll, representing the Dauphin andMme. Royalo in their babyhood, andwearing the same frocks, of eeverelyplain nnd far-from-fine white linen, andfjjded blue ribbons,- in which the ill-fatedMario Antoinette must often have seenherbabies. .

A GRACEFUL HOLIDAY FROCK,
THE MARY CURZON HOSTEL.
Some peoplo doubt whether lodginghoinc3 for women aro still needed. Thoanswer ie that tho Mary Curzon Hostelfor Women in King's Cross Boad, Lon-don/, which was formally byQueen Alexandra on November 22, be-gan to fill as soon as tho building wascompleted, and within threo weeks hadits full complement of fifty-iive inmatesTho success or failure of such an under-taking from the point of view of utilityturns largely on certain Oftheso details, tho National Associationfor Women's Lodging Homes, and itspresident, the Duchess of Marlborough,navo made careful study, and it hasbeen under tho auspices of this societyand thanks to tho generosity of theDuchess of Marlborough, and relativesand friends of the lamented Lady Cur-zon, that tho home-like building hastaken its present form. Its handsome,cheerful front to tho street is not be-lied by tho interior. All who enter thebuilding , seo'at. o'neo a memorial tableton tho wall bearing the following simpleand impressive inscription: "This build-ing, to bo known as tho Mary CurzonHostel, was erected in 1913 for tho sor-vico of women by ■ tho relatives andfriends of a woman tender-hearted and■beautiful, who, by her short life, sought■to niuko tho life of women happier inmany lands. Mary Victoria, wit'o ofLord Curzon of Kcdleston, born 1870—•
died 1906."' Tho founders of the building haveboon happy in tho choice of their ar-chitects, Messrs. Lovcgrove and Pap-worth, whosa experience has led themto plan many arrangments which makefor the comfort of tho lodgers. On theground floor is a most cheery living-room, whero tho women can cook andeat their meals or hayo their food readycooked. Beyond this ia a ftuiet day
room. Up the tiled staircaso one passesto tie , cubicles, each of which formsa nice little bedroom, with its ownseparate window. In many of them acot is provided, so that a mothor mayhave a baby or young child with h«r ifdesired. In tho basement are manybathrooms, for tho use of which onlyono penny is charged, and the house isaflso amply provided with, lavatorybasins, foot-baths, aiid changing rooms,so that every visitor can quickly gether clothes dried and have tho luxuryof a good wash. Tho women have, more-over, tho use of lockers for their pro-perty.
All the charges are amazingly low.The price of a cubuclo is 3d. and 6d.per night; a really good breakfast,with an egg or slice of bacon,' is id. ;dinner is 3d. or 4d.; the latter priceproviding meat,' two vegetables, andpudding; tea and bread and butter canbo had for Id.; and supper of soup orbread and cheese costs 2d.
The principle- of the Mary CuizonHostel, is to treat is lodgers just as thomanagement nf any hotel troats itsguests. Questions arc not asked or re-ferences demanded. If any womanshows herself to be a drunkard or other-wise an undesirable person-to hav6 intho house, she is asked to leave. Butthe fact is borno in.mind that the hos-tel is intended for women who are indeed of a /lodging and have the moneyto paT for it. The rules are all drawnup with this idea in view. No beer orspirits are allowed on the premises;smoking is forbidden; bedrooms, mustho vacated by 0. a.m., and women arenot allowed to go up to their room'a be-fore 7.30 p.m. These aro tho chief re-strictions. It should, be noted thatweekly lodgers are not required to'payfor, their beds on Sunday. The onlyquestion which may cross the.mind ofour readers is whether women who have,once enjoyed tho comfort and., cheap-ness of tho hostel will ,ever be inducedto' leave and let other wayfarers' , taketheir turn.
REXONA PROMOTES GROWTH OFHAIR.
A MAORI HILL (DUNEDIN) LADYSPEAKS.
"I haT6 used your Rexona Ointment forsores on the face and lips, also as a pre-ventative of falling hair and promotinggrowthof same," writes Mrs. Jas. M'Don-ald,. No. 8 Henry Street, Maori Hill, Dun-edin, N.Z. "I am more than satisfiedwith the results that I have obtained bythe use of Rexonft Ointment. The soreson the face and lips vanished as if bymagic, and by using it for the falling hairit has not only prevented it from comingout, but has promoted tho growth of samein a most extraordinary manner whichmust be seen to be believed. I shall forever feel grateful for tho anxiety andworry it has taken off my mind, as I hadused so many remedies that I was be-niuiiing to get very anxious. But yourllrxona Ointment has curod where so manyhad failed."

A novel, device has recently been per-fected for overcoming the danger fromglare in motor-car headlights. This de-vice consists of a rack of aluminiumplates placed behind the main glass anain front of tho lens and burner. Theseplates aro placed horizontally, one abovethe other, about one-eighth of an inchopart, and have their lower surfaces high-ly polished and thicr upper surfacespainted a dead black. The effect is thatfrom a distanco of about 150yds., thefull light is seen without any apparentshading, but as the car approaches, tholight and glare become weaker ajidweaker, until, when a few yards awnr,nothing - can bo teen but a faint fro/glow.
SALE OF "SALOME."
MASTERPIECE OF PATRIOT :
. PAINTER..The newest sensation of the sale-room
comes from Paris, where Henri Reg-nault's famous picture, "Salome," wasknocked down to an American, pur-chaser'for the immense sum of £19,200.Regnault's "Salome" has' been discuss-ed, admired, and abused by artists eversinco it was painted, more than _ 40years ago; but even those who dislikedthe picture most admitted that it was amasterpiece in execution and colour.The daughter of Herodias—a vulgar,
common-looking woman as Rcgnaiiltpaints her—is seen in the picture seatedwith baro nock and arras .and 10030 dra-peries, and with the charger andsword resting on her knees. The mag-nificent black hair of -tho dancing-girlis one of the best things in-the pic-ture, end no doubt Regnault delightedin. painting it, for in lus "treatment ofblack he was a master. Great effortswer-o. made by the French authorities tosecure the "Salome" for the ouvro; butthey failed, as England failed to. keepRembrandt's superb picture of "TheMill," because sufficient funds could notbe raised.in time.- ■•'■■■ ■■ ','
There were -many reasons why theFrench should'havo wanted to /keep"Salome, ,., and 1not' the least was - 'thefact that its author died fighting for hiscountry in th'o disastrous war with Ger-many m 1870-I—died, too, in his youth,before his splendid promise had beenfulfilled. • Henri Regnault was born in.Paris nearly 70. years ago. His fatherwas oho of tho principal persons con-nected' with the great porcelain manu-factory at Sevres, and young Rcgnaultwas placed at an early ago under Cab-anol—the. teacher of many .successfulpainters. Soon ho carried off the greatprize that entitles tho'French art stu-dent to spend a long period in Rome,and in R-ome he painted the "Salome-that has just been sold in Paris. Laterho.went to Spain, and then to Tangier,where ho painted wonderful studies, ofEastern sunshine. Then, when Reg-nault was only 28, came the closingtragedy. Ho was in Africa, paintinghappily, when the news camo of thoGerman victories; but no hurried homoto fight for Franco, and in one of thosorties from Paris Regnault, fighting
, bravely, mot his death.

Permanently RemovingS«perflaocs Hair.
' ' -"Toilot Gosiip."Hoir to permanently, not merely, tem-
porarily, remove a'downy growth of-dis:figuring superfluous hair, is what , manywomen'; wish t6r: 'know. It is, a pity, that,,it%nWmoreof«nefi&ly 'known'that 'purepowdered -pheminol, obtainable from' thechemists, inay be used for this purpose.It is applied directly to. the objection-able; hair.. The recommended treatmentnot only instantly removes tho hair, leav-ing no trace, but is designed also to killthe roots completely. . . . The naturalallacitoof oraage blossoms irfakes a capi-tal greaseless face cream. , It holds thepowder and the natural odourof this' product is, of most de-lightful.' Many of the smartest womenare now using it exclusively, because itdoes not encourage a. growth of bair onthe face. ; . .' The annoying bodyodour sometimes resulting' from perspira-tion can be instantly neutralised by thooccasional application of powdered (white)pergol. . . . -
Renewing Complexionswith Oxygen. >
"Bandy Eecipes."Everyone knows that oxygen, consumeswaste matter in the body..,A; poor com-plexion :'is merely tho accumulation ofhalf deadened, or waste matter,' upon tho
surface of the 6kin. It eticka on stub-bornly, showing in the form of sallow-ness, moth.patches and a generally life-less appearance.- Oiygen may be usedwith advantage in , removing this dis-figuration. Any chemist should be ableto eupp\y mercolized wax. This con-tains oxygen in a form that is releasedwhen itcomes in contact with tie" skin;'Naturally the oxygen attacks the dead-ened matter, but- does fnot • affect thohealthy skin at all. Thus a few applica-tions of this perfectly harmless substancesoon begins to clear the skin and revealthe beautiful complexion which every wo-man has just underneath. tho ugly one.Tho process is pleasant and harmless, andInvolves no inconvenience whatever. . . .To bring a natural red colour to the lips,frub them with a soft stick of prolactum., .' .

A Sfrange Shampoo,"Cosy Corner Chats."
. 4 .1 was much interested to learnfrom this young woman with the beau-tiful glossy hair that she never washes'it with 6oap or artificial shampoo pow-ders., Instead, she makes her, own sham-poo, by dissolving a teaspoonful of stallaxgrannies in a ,cup of hot water. "Iraako my chemist get tho. stallax for mo,"said she. "It comes only in sealed pack-ages, enough to make up twenty-five orthirty individual shampoos, and it smellseo good I could almost cat. it." Cer-tainly this littlo lady's hair did look won-derful even if she has strange ideas of aBhampoo. I am tempted to try the planmyself. _. . . For an actual 'hair grow-er nothing equals pure boranium. It isquite harmless, and sets tho nair rootstingling with new life. . . . The useof rouge is almost alwaye obvious, bntpowdered colliandum gives" a perfectlypaturaloolour and defies defection.—Advt.

It would ba difficult to name anything moreproductive of "fidgets," more disconcerting to the -
well-gowned, well-groomed than the know-ledge that her face Sα "shiny" or over-moist. Thfchelplessness of women so affected is quite pathetic.The vanity box is frequently, frantically and fretfullyresorted to, but the more one powders, wipes, andmops the face, the snore Intractable it seems tobecome. One only gets hot for the trouble, and ifthe face does not get all the more greasy, the con-stantly replenished deposit of unflultabls, unhygienicpowder has tha ignoble trick of caking up and pro-ducing ridges, crevices* dales, and valleys.

It was for this purpose that this specialist introduced VahieLiquidine, which has proved itself a boon .indeed. .Many women girounceasing thanks to Yalaze Liquidine for the possession of a clear,well-knit skin. By acting directly on the porea and freeing them ofover-abundant secretions, it promotes healthy circulation and, skinbreathing, which are so essential to charm of complexion.

It may, moreover, bo mostbeneficiallyused forcleansing the face of dust, grease, and travel stains,ind whitens theskin remarkably. Price, 5/- and 8/G a bottle, r: -

CRICKET.[By the Bbbaxeb.]
- Wondrous Kind, '
• :,'One of tho things which theWellington touring team hard Ml thebump of wonder was Dunedurs pbepi-tality. Dimedin specialises that way.Tho old town has done so ©tot since
« of theprovince stepped out.9 oft the .first two^ships.in 1859. In 1901
Dunedin mobbed tho Imperial troops•: which visited tho colonies and had .to
bo held, off by force Only a .year or'■ two ago they tried to mob Kitchener,
and the war lord had to fight tho onlyrear-guard action ho ever fought in hislift to got out of Forbury Park before10,000 Dunedinites throw their armsjointly and. severally round his neck.
Dunedin seems to have been corres-pondingly kind, to tho cricketers. Dun-edin slapped them on tho back, chum-med up to them without introduction,
;'• .asked Saunders if he was Saunders, andM'Girr if he was M.'Girr, and several
•■• other people if they were those'people,- and where did they work, and "how
■ much a week did they Ret" and otherquestions of a personal and intimatenature. All tho time they held outtho glad hand of hospitality.
Whether gush and emotionalism isright or wrong is really a nut for aphilosopher to crack. For cricket notesit is enough to say that the Welling-tonians liked it. Thoy aro in favour of
. openingup further relations with Otago.What Is Tlmlns7
Time: Last Saturday. Place: BasinKeserve. Dramatis personao: Three or•four enthusiasts seated on the benchesbeforo tho pavilion. Argument: Whatis timing the shot? Now, timing astroke- is about tho subtlest thing incricket, and it is very doubtful whetherany enthusiast can put it into words,though it is easy to discern when thething Ono enthusiast thoughtthat, for a perfectly timed shot, thobat must bo moving faster than thoball at the instant of impact. Anotherthought that it was ''hitting the ballat the psychological moment." Askedwhat ho meant by tho "psychologicalmoment," he admitted that lie did notknow. Tho little knot of friendly dis-puters agreed to settle their differencesby calling whenever they thought they
, saw a well-timed stroke. East B andCentral were playing on ono wicketand East A and College oil the other.Tho four enthusiasts watched on, butwere only able to call about twice infifteen minutes. They eventually gavethe job'Up.
Later in the afternoon a blocky lit-tle'batsman, wearing a black cap/wentout through tho gate, and took centreto the College bowling. ■ Tho four en-thusiasts wore at once agreed ttiatihe"timed" the first ball, and tho second,and tho third, and tho fourth, mid thetenth, and the twentieth'; in fact, near-ly every ball ho got.' Tho batsman hap-pened to bo Midlano.Cood Club Figures., <
Fred Jlidlane has handed on veryconsistent figures to tho scores thisyear.They read as follow.—3l, 82, 75, 84,44, 32, 6, Co. Tho aggregate is 419,and, as ho has threo not-outs, his aver-83.8— Tho next batsman-
-- •-mi tho club.ladder.: is.. W. A. .Baker.'■ His figures read:—B, 21, 135, 144 (not, out), I, 6, 2. Tho aggregate is 352.,
... and the average .50.2. .. - . , '.
.• ThO'ColtJ-V/atclv '•.■-.;•". ' Oiie of tho incjdonts of the Welling-ton team's "trip south was the centuryachieved'by young Alloo, of Otago,' against -tlfo bowling, of Saunders, Griin-
mett,' and M'Girr. The colt is thosou of a well-known sports enthusiast
-: 'n, Otago, and ,(so..the. returned Wol-:. ''"Etonians say); jtljp| father,, called, out,Jrom thc-bank, when tho, youngster,?^-,-■ tered the twenties" "i'o'if you make'50" The little 'fellow doubled thisfigure, and, at the. smoke concert after■ the match,- tho • Gtagb Cricket Associa-

,<THs; IViarr Irf the ;WhFie Coat. 7 '■■.< ;''•■JA'S every., cricketer knows;''" umpires
...«To of;.tfrorkindsirgood.and''bad.''- Tho.'Ofcago umpires,,struck tho Wellingtont«un|as bad. ; n Ono Otago batsman wascaught at fhe-'Wickofc twice, but nir-
i vivedStw'dtliha'nimous Finallyhim beyond dispute—
ie third time out. Even then hoat the wjeket, hoping againstjh,(Jr>e.;. and—waging for the umpire to-■fay 'what was what. ;flle Scottish um-Ipire (more in sorrow than in anger)/reluctantly gave him out. .|y,Per ".contra 'blew upagainst a ;smart umpire in Canterbury.Hβ was-an old Notts player, with a-
and shaTp views'' qn 'batsmpa; who kept the ball out of■ the: picket:with their pads. His wordto ■ such iiras ".Walk!" They had to.gO/tOO. • ':
,''John V." and Soma Others.In the' opinion of members of tho
: (Wellington team John V. Saunders" bowled exceptionally well right throughthe tour south, and so did Grimmctt.!As.; usual the Victorian suffered throughmissed chances. In tho Canterburymatch Bishop jumped in to drive in thofirst ovorhe got,, and was fully three[yards out when the ball got somehow
: tangled up be.tween Wagstaffo's padsland his log. Bishop went on to make
SO. If this chanco had' been tikonCanterbury would (at that stage) havehad five wickets down for 44 runs.■ Grimmott's figures, also look attrac-tive, but not bo attractive as they de-served to bo. As an exponent of thopooglio he knows how to throw up what
. is termed tho "wrong "tin" at the right'time. Sometimes his break passedboth batsman and wiokets, and also thewicket-keeper'.The element of variety in the Wel-lington bowling'appears to have been
skilfully worked by their experiencedcaptain, C. G. Wilson, : Saunders iswhat may bo termed a fast medium left-liandor. Grimmett is n. right-handslow, and the clement of pace was sup-plied by M'Girr. These*-and otherchanges (including Grace) seem to havebeen skilfully ustjd.
The Tryor of tho Team.Those who have watched cricket attho. Basin will not have much doubt
as to who the tryer of tho Wellingtonteam is. His name is M'Girr. Hocannot sond back tho ball from the fieldto tho wicket with the rapidity of (say)Midlano, but spot him going For acatch in . the "country", is always asight worth seeing. Ho caught' tho"catch of the season" during tho recenttour. As to his batting it is very like-ly that he will hoist one or two bigscores beforo tho present season is over.It is stated that he is dropping his pre-vious habit of promiscuous slumming,
'. nnd now picks the right ball to hit. Atthe same time tlmro is snrh a thing astompcrament. and, if M'Girr's tempera-ment prompts him to hit. those whnnro directing his change of style shouldnot say him nay.
Tho Young Brigade—Somo Criticism. .
Tho .young brigadn in tTin Welling-• ton representative team will, I hope,
_-.. not. mind- a. word of criticism. In
choosing tho team the selector cvidontlymade every effort to givo the youngplayers a chance and the province hop_sdmuch, from them.
Of tho colts Joplin pleased by mak-ing runs. His strokes behind the wic-ket were weak*—in fact, lie hardlyseemed to have any—but ho has somegood shots in front of tho wicket, es-pecially one between point and cover.Unfortunately more is oxpected of t.representative cricketer than merelymaking a certain amount of runs. Foild-iuij.count) an'l counts very heavily. Inthis department Joplin hardly shines.The chief blemish on his out-cricket isthat ho does not anticipate tho shotand so remains fasfc-footed until the ballhas sped tome distanoe.
Another young player who has nowpained his representative cap is W. H.Wagstaffe, batsman and wicket-keeper.Wagstaffe has plenty of strokes, huthis friends think that ho is rather toomuch of a humorist to take tho gameas seriously as he should, and ho isalso rather too fond of hitting across atstraight balls. Hia wickot-kceping ontour was fairly sound. Ho snapped anumber .of chances, but also missedsome—alas, most wicket-keepors do.When it comes to getting knocks, also,tho Wellington wicket-keeper is inclin-ed to mako a fuss. Perhaps it will dono harm to mention that old J. M.Blackham and others of that school,used to take all tho knocks going withSpartan fortitude.
Of Grimmett's bowling mention hasalready been made. Hβ can bat too,but one is inclined to think that ifhe went in for sustained practice atthe ■ nets ho would mako a deal mororuii3 even than ho is making at pre-sent. ' Of course, every cricketer knowsbest how much practice suits him, butthe above is the writer's impression.
The Centurions to Date.Centuries havo been fairly thick this
year. Two moro wore put up by Pc-tono players last Saturday. Following13 tho list to date:—
171—F. Hiddlestone (Saturday andWednesday)- '
144-W. A. Baker, East A.135—W. A. Baker, East A.134—\Donogliue, Petono.116—1< 1. Joplin, Victoria College.114-D, Hay, Old Boys.
109—W. R. S. Hicks'on, Central.10-f—J. Barber, Petone.103—A. E. Birch, Victoria College103—E. Smyrke, Petone.
Some Stray Singles.The loading batting averages of the
Wellington touring team were as fol-low:—S. Hiddlestone, 31.5; F. Joplin,29.4; D. Hay, 27.1; W. H. Wagstaffe,20.5; F. Grace, 19.1; W: A. Baker,17.1; H. M'Girr, 14.5; C. Grimmett,12.1; K. H. Tucker, 10.5.
The Wellingtonians seem to havebeen a very happy little family on tour.No doubt the guiding hand of theircaptain-manager (C. U. Wilson) hadsomething to do-with this.
In the opinion of several members ofthe Wellington team Condliffo, ofOtago, is about tho best wicket-keeperin ..New Zealand at present.
A number of the team made theirfirst acquaintance with tho famoueOtago bowler, Alec Downes. Tho vet-eran .:is-still bowling hl3 big off-breakwith perfect length, but hardly withthe 6amo dash as of yore. -The vetoran
a..,remarkably,..smaii,. pair ofhands at point.Tho Wellington bowlers seem to havobeen determined that Otago wero notto win. In the second innings, the sou-therners had only hoisted 25* runs atthg end of an .hour's play. They weroover three hours in making their totalof 105. Saunders bowled 28 overs (13
.maidens) for 30 runs. • ■By general consensus of tho team
Hiddlestpno's batting was a feature oftho tour. On one occasion Hiddlestoneand Grimmett put on C 4 runs in 40.minutes. Of that total Hiddlostono'scontribution was no fewer than 85.
Tho Wellington men think thatM'Furlane is Otago's best bat, as faras style.goes. They wero also rathertaken with the pretty Carisbrookgroundj.at Dunedin. :
Monaghan, an ex-Wellington mannowresiding in Uhristchurch, is reported t<,,be bowling as ,well as ever. He 6tillpossesses that old tricky swerve.The'genial smile of Arthur George,captain of Rivals, was a littlo larger■than lisual at 5 o'clock last Wednesday.'There was cause. His team had toovertake 179 runs and had lost sis wic-kets for 67. Dr. Tolhurst and Greigthen joined in a remarkable partner"
snip, and before they wero separated,the telegraph board showed 200.Young Caterer seems to havo had a
"day out" in the mid-week match,Oriental v. Artillery. Ho top-scored forhis side, and', when Artillery were justoil the point of overtaking his team'stotal, ho got rid of Bombardier Smith(who had been in all tho afternoon),and that sterling little cricketer, Vic-tor Harris, by two' catches in succes-sion. The shots were stinging ones, andtho ball was as wet and'greasy as it
: is possible for a cricket, ball to bo.The system of arranging fixtures bymutual agreement between Uhe pro-vinces concerned has proved so unsat-isfactory this year that Wellington
cricketprs would probably support a pro-position that the Now Zealana Councilshould mako the fixtures.
Arising out of the visit of a Wel-lington team to Marlborougli this sea-,son is a suggestion that Marlboroughshould play in Wellington noxt season.Tho proposal comes from the South Is-landers.
Two Saturday teame arc to meet twoWednesday teams on the Basin. Re-serve on Anniversary Day (January 22).Ono match is to be between tho firstelevens of either association, and theotner is arranged between the Wednes-day Eecond senior eleven and the Sat-urday first junior loven.
On Anniversary Day (January 22) arepresentative fixture is to bo played be-tween a third-class eleven from thoWellington Cricket Association and ateam from tho Boys' League.'
"If this Plunket Shield is going to;causo so much trouble wo had bettorcut it out."—Remark of a Wellingtoncricketer who is disgusted with the be-'haviour of certain associations which hoconsiders aro "sparring for tho shieldall tho time."
Tho Oliffe benefit match in Aucklandwas not a groat success. The game wzsbetween Auckland and Nomads, and itliad soino very attractive features, buttho attendance was small.
For East B this season Bowlo.i hasscored 27, 33, 70, 4, 29, 55, and 7.
C. T. Young, who hatted for East onSaturday, is a promising man with thewillow. Ho made top scoro (35) in thoteam's first innings, and was thenthrown out. In tho second venture liewas doing well when ho succumbed toa difficult one-hand catch. He had onlymado 14, but ho did not take nearlyso long to mako his few as some of hisconfreres dill to compile their contri-butions.
East A have not had a centuryscored against them this season. S.Hickson's 81 for Central on November22 is tho highest.
"Jim" Fanning, the Victoria Col legoskipper, - has been rather'alert in thofield lately. On Saturday he. brought offa beautiful left-hand catch and dis-missed Young, who appeared to havoovory chanco of getting tho ball wellaway.

Every club must forward tho.names of the members of its team withthe challenge.
Officialsof the Masterton Lawn TenniaClub anticipate having all the best NewZealand players present at tho pro-vincial championships, to be held atMastorton during the coming week.Entries closo to-day with tJio secretary(Mr. H. M. Boddington), P.O. box 23,Masterton.In Auckland.
On account of the Now Zealand cham-pionships being held in Auckland duringChristmas week, the club matches didnot progress, and up to the present thoDunlop Shield matches hare not com-menced. It is to be hoped that thesematches will not be permitted to drag onas was the case last year (says "Lynx"in tho "New Zealand Herald")," al-though it is admitted' that with thechampionship tournament in tho fore-ground thero will not be much oppor-tunity to got the matches under way'this month.
The Auckland championship tourna-ment commences on Saturday week,January 24, and will be continued onAnniversary Day, January 29, and onthe following Saturday. The groundonwhich the championships will be decidedhas not yet been definitely fixed, but itis expected that tho first two days'play will be on tho Itcmuera Club'scourts, and tho finals on the Eden andEpsom courts.
Tho returi match. Auckland Associa-tion against the King Country Associa-tion, is to be played at tho Eden andEpsom ■ courts to-day. It will be re-membered that a team of colts journey-ed to Taumarunui at the end of lastseason, and somewhat easily defeatedtho country players. It is not intendedon the present occasion to select anAuckland team quite up to tho strengthof last j-ear'e team, and a close and in-teresting match should result.Tho Now Zealand Champion.
Wallace, tho New Zealand tenuischampion of tho. present year, lvas aChristchurch boy, "being a'son-of thelate F. M. Wallace,, the well-knownmusician. A southern writer savs thatho learnt his tennis as a Echoolboy onthe Cranmer squaro courts, that nurseryof so many famous New Zealand play-
and he then showed skill which wassurprising in one so young. Upon Wr-ing school he loft for Taranaki to followfarming pursuitSj but unfortunately 3iisnow homq'Va's in'"an.r ;isb!nte'd I'part, .jndhis tennis 'suffered for l.iok of praotice.He, hc-wever, met as a friend that ster-ling player, Dickio. and they seized thofew opportunities which offeied to gotRood play. His win must be very grati-fying to him, for it is the reward of asteady persistence against obstacleswhich very few players have to sur-mount.New Davis Gun Rules.
The new Davis Cup rules arc reallythe old rules slightly altered, and niltho prophecies in the "Field" that thonaturo of the contests would bo alteredso as to restore tho alleged original idonof an annual contest between Englandand America, or to hnve the localityfixed of changing ■ bv definite rotation,have proved, unfounded.
Is is pleasing (snyfl the "Australa-sian") to oee that the threats made insome quarters a vear or so neo that therules would be altered so as to preventAustralasia at any time holdins thocut> for more than a limited period, or,rather, having the challenge round play-ed in Australasia for more than a defi-nite number of years should she regainthe cup at a future date, havo not ma-terialised.
Tho only alteration of importancewhich results from tho recent confer-ence of the countries who have compet-ed is that tho entries mast state thokind of court and surface to bo used,and it must bo a natural gritty surface;wood or such surfaces as asphalt or con-crete arcs barred.Cencral Jottings.
11l connection with tho WaipawaLawn Tennis Club's open tournament atthe end of the present month, tho sec-retary (Mr. Geo. Hunt) advises thatentries close on Monday, January 26.
At tho annual meeting of the LawnTennis Association (England) held inLondon last month, a resolution wasadopted in the following form: "Nowthat the World's Lawn Tennis Cham-pionships on grass havo been acceptedbv tlio.L.T.A.'on behalf of the BritishIsles, it is desirable that, tho Councilconsider method of selecting the ballfor tho championships."
With a view to encouraging "colts"in Victoria, Mr. C. S. Galgraith haspresented a shield for competition be-tween thoso who are .not quite goodenough for tho open championship sin-glos but too good for tho "second opensingles."
Gordon Inglis, the representative, inEngland, of tho Australasian Associa-tion, has been honoured by being madoan honorary life member of the Sport- jing Club do Paris, tho leading club inFrance, corresponding in a great meas-uro to Queen's Club in London. Asthero are in nil only six honorary lifemembers of the French club, tho hon-our is undoubtedly a big ono.
In tho Rotorua Tenuis Tournamentwhich concluded on Saturday last Mrs.Scott Watson (Rotorua) won tho La-dies' Championship, and W. Pearso(Canterbury) won tho Men's Champion-ship.

Lat-est Australian files ■■tG;: iiiud 'corS*tain no further particulars'of the' two*minutes Hi actual boxing between DavoSmith and Kddie Jtf'G'oorty. Indeedsn little happened in that, short timethat oven tlio brief esblo message con*tained it all. Nevertheless, many midl< ng aro tho artioles atriviiig to ex-plain away, or at teasb to account fortho detent of our champion. Tho raoetinteresting of these is by "Solar Plex-us," of the "ltefereo," who scouts tho"Indian sign" theory, which1 is almostuniversally held by other writers. Hoholds that tho effort to reduce himselfto tho middle-weight limit was tho realcause of Smith's downfall, his vitalitybeing sapped to such an extent thathis brain was slow to work, whenM'Goorty brought off that feint withhis right, and he became an oasymark for tho American. 'This, com-bined with tho fact that Smith is no-toriously a nervous beginner, is heldby "Sola-r Plexus" to he tho eauso ofSmith's defeat at such an early stage.Omens at the Ringside.
There is a good deal in the argument,and "Mercury," though at the time an"Indian signist," is now half-inclinedto agree with "Solar Plexus" that,should the two be matched again at thelight-heavy limit, Smith would show Wβtrue colours. For all the tragedy of ittho battlo—or rather tlje half-hour orso preceding it—had its touch ofcomedy. The great crwd, in its ner-vous anxiety to soe the native son win,seized every straw of hope that seomeato indicate a win for Smith. There isno more superstitious section of thocommunity than the average assemblageat a boxing contest, and this crowd wasabout tho limit in this respect. ThoStadium, perhaps ovstf more than rao starenas, is noted for its lucky and its"Koodoo" corner.
Consequently, when Smith's sparringpartner—Gordon Coghill—-came out tocontest tho preliminary with 'Albert1 ooley, ■ and after proceeding to thefray trom the lucky corner, won easilyin a few rounds, doubting spirits weroraised. "When Smith himself climbedmto the' (same, oonser superstititioutook complete chargo of a 'jig sectionot the. crowd. It is doubtful, toowhether the result has brought that sec-tion back to earth.Smith's Wonderful Popularity.
The most ■ extraordinary feature oftho wlibio affair, however, is the factthat bo far from such a defeat bringinghim discredit, Smith is to-dayeven more highly thought ofin Australia than ever before. Almostinvariably tho publie turns froma man in tho hour of defeat, but. inthis caso, it is overwhelmingly, withSmith. The publiq that has seen himgam brilliant victories over '•Bill" Lang,"Los" O'Doimell, "Jerry" Jerome, andPat Bradley cannot bring itself,either collectively or individually, tobelieve other than that, in this caso atany rate, ho is "an ill-starred victimof giant circumstance." Everywhere heis being overwhelmed with condolencesand cheering words. This feeling foundits ultimate expression when Smithquietly slipped in late to a big compli-mentary dinneri tendered to E.X. Bakerby a band of Sydney's most prominentpublic men. Proceedings were interrupt-ed for a few minutes while all andsundry roso and cheered Smith to theeoho. His- next match will bo with"Jeff" Smith, who put up such a gal-lant battlo with Carpentier, How he,shapes in this will show what moraleffect his treatment at the hands, ofM'Goorty has had upon him.Carpontlor Coming.
Mention of Carpentier reminds onethat Mr. Baker has received a cablomessage to tho effect that the French-man has changed his plans, and is. .nowprepared to accept tho Stadium pro-prietor's offer for five contests in Aus-tralia. This will be welcome news forSmith and Co.Ccmo Australian Deeds.
A strenuous, clever, and well-fonghfcbattlo was that hetweon Frank Thornaud "Joe" Russell at Brisbane, recently.During the first twelve rounds tlio ex-champion feather-weight had the beetof matters, his skill, speed, and judg-ment being superior, but, in the lasteight rounds, tho little Victorian, whoseems if anything better than ever,came- with such a rattlo as to put thoverdict beyond doubt.
Long, lean, and la»I;y JlilburnSaylor,who_ knocked out "Freddy" Welsh—albeit tlio blow was declared, to bo afoul one—created something of a sensa-tion on his first public appearance in'Australia. Standing oft. loin, in height,he is tall enough for a heavy-weight—taller than cither "Tommy" 'Burns or"Sam" Langford—but he weighs buti)bt. 81b. In action he is as wild andwoolly as Jerome himself. Matchedagainst West Australian "Alf" Moray,ho way sadly outpointed, but, with apunch that only needed to 'and half adozen, times in the whole battlo, heknocked oiit his game littlo opponentin tho fourteenth round. Saylor is re-ported to havo mado a wager that howill' win four out of five battles by theknock-out route. On this tho "Beferee"caustically remarks that ho will needto, for it cannot imagine him winningby any other means..3ummors In Deep Water.
Tho cabled result of tho battlo be-tween Summers and "Tom" M'Cormack(to tho offect that the latter had a goodwin on points) makes it clear thatSummers will bo hard put to it to re-tain his hold on tho Lonsdalo WelterBelt. M'Cormack came out with agreat reputation for cleverness, and.apparently, ho is as good as histation.Tho Dollar Hunter.
The match between "Willie" Ritdhieand "Harlem Tommy" Murphy wasnostponed on account of wet wcatlicT.
i Then Ritehio developed an abscess intho nose, and declined to enter the ringwhile unwell. Then the promoter, indisgust, declared the match off] andthen San Francisco told Ritchie whatit thought of him. After a great dealof bickering, tho match was broughton again, and will be decided oil Fridaynoxt. Again artful one Ritchie hastho field to himself. With an eye firstand always on tho dollar, he makes andbreaks matches to suit his purse, with-
! out consideration for anyone or any-! thing else. One San Francisco cynicsnid of him: "When that personflinches with a dollar it is no «fio toll-ing him to break."
Prowess of Clabby. ■■'-' ■ ;,•
"Jimmy" Clabby still proceeds easilyon his victorious way, , his latest, win i
! being at the expense of ono "Soldier"ILoqnn. Clabliv played with his man",!but, towards tho finish, he wadded in, jand dbplayod hitting power and a
. knowledge- of in-fighting canal to thej best of tlio sluggers. Getting warmedMm to bis work, he stopped to take outi bis fabe teeth, wo avo informed.
I Anenfc those false teeth. "Mercury" re-membors vending somewhere in Use dimpast, that tho human jaw loses a f;rcatdeal of its strength wiipti the teeth nfe

M'Holm has been taking, a mueh-needed spell, with the result that he- hasbeen able to reach his best form. Ked-dell'fl 22ft. 7in. is his best perform-ance, in the broad j\imp of recent years.His most surprising performance at thomeetinu; was his mil in tho swatter flat.Receiving ten yards from Dormer, hedead-heated with tho champion forsecond pUce, a foot behind the winner,in 50 4-ssec.

Adam is a member of tho PoliceForce in Auckland, a comparatively re-cent, arrival in : Now Zealand, but inScvotland ho wa-s a noted professionalperformer. Ho was only recently rein-stated.

Everyone will feel like congratulat-ing Mr. G. Sadd for his promptitndein selecting tlao Wellington water-polorepresentatives. "Splash" also hastensto compliment Mr, Sadd, afidineidonially the Wellington Centre, on the gen-eral calibjo-'of tho team, which is:—Goat, G. P. Hiuiria (Wellington Club);,backs. A. M, Smith (Swifts Club), B.Levy (Old Boys), S. Murrcll (Welling-ton); forwards, U. Newman (Old Boys),C. V. Fordlmm (Swifts), and. H. Jenkin-eon (Swifts).
Tho majority of these players were inlast year's team, Murrell and Newmanonly being new to representative hon-ours.
tianna, of course, was certainof selection, being undoubtedly tho bestpat-kec-pek Wellington hafi
*
yet pro-duced. It was at wanganui last yearthat Hnnna first discovered his "gift"for goal-keeping, end eince then he hassteadily improved, until ho is (in"Splash's" opinion) as good, if not bet-ter, than any Now Zealander bow fillinga similar position.
Smith (Swift's half-back) ia a fineexponent of the art of marking liisman. For his benefit it may be stated,however, that, at times, ho is inclinedto watch his opponent a little tee- as-siduously. However, ho is a decidedlystrong bask, and a Wellington teamwould not be representative withouthim.
Levy's place in the team was, ofcourse, also assured, but his habit ofindulging in fouling must bo immedi-ately dropped. His form this year suf-fers considerably by comparison withlast year's, but nevertheless he will boa valuable member.
Murrell has shown wonderful improve-ment- during the past two seasons and,
certainly deserves his selection. Atmarking his man, he is quite an adept,but his handling of tho ball leavesmuch space for improvement. In tirewriter's opinion ho had no real rival forthe position. ,
Both Capper and Morpeth had priorclaims to iNewraan for inclusion in thoforward lino, but as neither can maketho trip Newman's selection was inevit-able.. There will no doubt be somewho' consider that Stratford and Rus-sell have been overlooked, but neithercould serve tho team as well as New-man. Russell certainly plays a headygame—more so than Newman—*but tlio latter is decidedly the. strongerl>]ayor of the two. There is n deal morevigour than science, iri New-man's re-pcrtoiro, but doubtless a , better 'ac-quaintance with the art of handling theleather will bring about a more judi-cious mixture,
Fordham and Jepkinson, of tlieSwifts forward line, would be valuable'to the team if only for tho reason thatthey fully understand each other's play.)3oili are experienced players, aad theirpresence in the team has added eonsid'

CRICKET.
TOUR OF AUSTRALIAN PLAYERS.
TO THE DOMINION.
THE OPINION OF THE PROMOTER.
Bt Ttleirapt—Preu Aisoclatlon-OopTrislitMelbourne, January 16.
There are only two vacancies in Mr.Sims's New Zealand team,- and theyhave boon offered to Park (Melbourne)University), and Crawford (South Aus-tralia). Tho team includes Armstrong,Bansford, Laver, M'Kenzie, Noble,Trumper, Waddy, Collins, and Dolling.It leaves on January 28.
The "Herald" says that it is under-stood that the teams organised to tourNew Zealand and America will make thetours whether sanctioned ;by the Boardof Control or not. \
"ATo player," says the chairman dthe Board of Control, "will be givensanction to accompany the team toAmerica. If any Australian cricketerproceeds to America withoutour consentlie will never play in Australia again."
THE AMERICAN TOUE.Molbourne, January 16.
The team being organised for Americais far from complete. Invitations wereextended to Armstrong, Bansford, andLaver, but each declined. It is under-stood that Baring and Lampard werealso invited to join.
CALIBRE OF THE TEAM.(Bj TeleEraofc.—Fresi AiSoolatlon.)
Chrlstchurch, January 16.Mr. Sims, in an interview, says that
the Australian team is of internationalstrength, including five players whoseabsence from the 1912 Australian teamwas deeply regretted in England. Thetour was organised because lie knowthe New Zealand Cricket Council hadfailed in the last two or three yearsto get an Australian visit. Ho had 1 nodifficulty in getting adequate supportfrom thoplayers, but specially asked thecouncil to withhold information regard-ing the tour until the. details were com-
' plete. A great deal of misunderstand-ing exists regarding the Board of-Con-trol's attitude. His team was not thefirst private team to tour Now Zealand.Last year also Maync took a team toAmerica,;and Watldy now has a team inColombo. Possibly the frequency of pri-vate teams had induced the board toexpress an opinion. Its consent was de-sirable, but the board had not declared,its consent necessary. He supplied allinformation to the board. Mr. Simspresumes from the absence of repliesto his letters that the board does notattach any great importance to thepoint at issue. The personnel of theteam was not yet complete.
AUCKLAND TOURING TEAM.(By Teleffraph.—Presn Acsodatlon.lv Auckland, January 16.

AMATEUR ATHLETICS.THE SPIRIT OF THE SPORT.
Tho old sporting spirit is not dead.At the Palmerston North meeting onJanuary 7 Kcddell and Templeton metin tho final of the Hurdles. At thostart Templeton flow out of the holes,not actually beating the pistol, but verynear to it, though not near enough towarrant tho starter bringing tho fieldback. With a lead of two yards in thofirst fivo, Templeton cleared ono hurdloand then pulled up, calling out to Ked-del to come back for a fresh start.Off again to a level start, both kepttogether till tho eighth hurdlo. Intho meantime the other starter in thorace—Stagpoole, who had thesame hur-dlo as Templeton (there were but twolines of hurdles for the three men)—was about five yards to tho good.He struck the eighth hurdle hard, which,swinging back just as Templeton roseto it, hit tlio American, causing him tolose a foot or so on Koddell. At thefinish, learning what had happened,Kcddpll (who got homo by inches) re-fused to take tho race, but was return-ed a winner much against his will, thooihYials refusing to run it again. Thereare no two keener opponents than Tem-pleton and Kcddell, but their keennessis that of the true sportsman.

IMPORTED TIMBERS.
NORTHERN BUILDERS CON-CERNED.
(By Tolecraph— Special GorrcEDOflSontiAuckland, January 18.
The fact that the Auckland TimberWorkers' Union intends to aaU for a»increased rate of pay from i)s. Cd. to12s. a day w'hilo handling Australianjarrah and Oregon pino is causing muchconcern among local builders. Tho mat-ter was fully discussed at a meeting ofthe Builders' Association yesterday jwhen Mr. J. T. Julian, chairman, saidthere appeared to be a movement onfoot which, if carried out, would havothe effect of crippling tho importedtimber trade. The timber workers weremaking application for a new awardwhereby they should be paid higherwagos while handling imported timber,but he thought that behind this demandthere was some object which should befully investigated. The effect of an .in-crease in wages, and thus m 'price,would bo to make such timber almostprohibitive and tho burden would thushiivo to be borne, not by the buildersthemselves, but by tlie public indirect-ly. Local supplies were getting work-ed out, and it was absolutely necessary,especially for some classes of work, thatAustralian hardwoods and Oregon pinoshould bo used. Mr. S. J, Clark saidtho matter was a most important oneas it concerned tho supply of raw ma-terial for one of tho largest industriesin tho Dominion. The question wasshortly to be decided by tho Concilia-tion Council, and as tho associationwould not be allowed to have any re-presentative there, they would simplyhave to abide by whatever agreementwas arrived at between the sawmillersand their employees. Should the men'sdemands be acceded to it would boonly natural that, in order to compen-sate- themselves for the extra outlay,the sawmilieus would increase tho sel-ling price of tho timber, wliicn Mr,Clkrk estimated would bo by at leastIs. per 100 superficial feet. It wasclaimed that a total, or even a: partial,prohibition of the timber, would amount,to a monopoly and it was tins whichthe builders wanted to guard agamst:Xo elmrge of complicity in the mat-ter was made against the sawpillcrs,but at tho same time by af-ceomg . totheir employees' demands an opportun-ity would be placed before- them, ofmaking increased profits. Moreover, itsuch an arrangement wofo made, a (lan-
cerous precedent would bo created asit would show that despite tlw -tariffsfixed by the Government any other, im-
port m'iWit bo similarly affected more-lv by a private agreement/between theemployers and tlw employees.,,"),, thatindustry. ■ ; *;' '■-'■ >"'•.•-.-.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.1 .. fEi Gigsoas.l
Yesterday was an "off" aorning atTrentham and very little galloping wasdone, but this morning should eeo thotracks supplied with, a feast. Amongstthe new arrivals at headquarters are:11. J. llason, i'. Dorrett, and J. T&pp,T. Quifilivan, 8. Waddcll, and V. Col-lsllo Were expected laet night, and ¥.
Bl'Grath and H, Cutte will como byboat this morning.
The Clip candidate, Peg, may bewritten dowfl as a non-starter in theWellington Cup. Yesterday morningher ewner sent ner over 6ix furlougs outho sand; tho last lialf-milo ocoUpied64sec,, and she was very sore on pullingup.
Mr, J. B. Eoid, owner of Rinaldo,iso leaving Oamaru on Monday andsltould arrive her© on Tuesday morning.Till theii nothing will bo known as tohis intentions ro Rinaldo, but hb willdoubtless mako his decision known aec?arly as possible.
Tho name of Sir Possible appearedamongst the acceptors for tho FlyingHandicap at Foxton. This is a mistakeand should bo Lord Possible.
B. Deploy and J. Conquest afo leav-ing Auckland to-day and will arrive atTrcntham to-morrow. H. Gray is ex-pected to-night.
Los Angelos and Dearest, in charge ofH. Telfonl, are being rail«t fmm Pori-riia this morning. Rumours havebeen afloat during the week that all is inot well with tlio Cup candidate, buthis owner, questioned yesterday, statedthat the 'chestnut gelding was "soundand well."
The Hastings trainers, V. Oollello(with Fair Rosamond), H. Hickey (withSir Daniel), and E. Lonergan. (withBlue Lake) arrived at Trcntham lastevening. The iirst-named mare is notengaged on the opening day, but it isundersteod that she will race itt thoWelter on Thursday.
11, J. Mason's team are bearing evi-dence of having keen knocked about.Canute has a large bruise- over hiseye, which is much swollen, and His-toriotto has a patch of skin off her face.Counsel and Emperador have both got■sore liccis, probably caused throughgalloping on a ploughed track.
Yesterday morning Einaldo did acouple of rounds at steady half-pace.Tho hay colt looks thoroughly fit andhas lost the big appearance ho hadivliei! Jjq. .scored 50.., decisively in theHawkc's Bijy Guineas in tho sprang,Should ho see the nost in the Cup Somay start'favourite.
Martins has a very scratchy stylewhen going at half-pace. Yesterday.morning he did three rounds oh tlio.turf with his trainer in the saddle, buthis action was fai* from pleasing,
Palisade, tlio southern crack, whoearly in tho week promised to startfavourite in tho Telegraph Handicap,has receded somewhat in favour, conse-quent upon walking away sore aftersomo liijht exercise .yesterday.
The Cliokebore nominee, Glenfinnan,must lie accounted dangerous in theAnniversary Welter on Wednesday. TheClanranald' gelding started i«_ thoRoyal Stakes at Auckland; and it is theopinion of many who saw the race that,but for bad luck at the barrier, hewould have scored. Hβ was fairly fly-ina nt tlw finish, and several presentthought that he should linve been plae-ed third instead of Charnsilla. :

Your blood is full of soldiers in white uniforms—soldiers which the great scientist Metchnikofftaught us to know as the bodyguard of everyone of us. So tiny are these soldiers that livethousand of them could manoeuvre within- apin's head. Yet your health, your very life,depends on their fighting efficiency. Thesesoldiers are the infinitesimal white cells whichtheir discoverer called Phagocytes or "EatingCells," because their business in life is to capture
- " , and slay and eat any. noxious microbes whichmay enter our blood, And they are kept busy, for
You are breathing inmicrobes as you read
They are everywhere—in the air, in your cup andon your plate. Some are harmful, some areharmless. If your white cells are strong andnumerous enough they can destroy tire dangerousmicrobes, But if your powers of resistance arelowered your bodyguard of white cells needs
, reinforcement.If you could see the battle going on between yourown blood cells and these microbes, you wouldwant to rush to the assistance of the soldier cellswhich are so bravely defending you. You cannot
■ witness the fight but you can help your ownsoldiers by taking Virol. This wonderful com-

bination of food substances, beginning with bone-marrow, supplies the blood-forming organs of yourbody with the very agents which help them to formthe " soldier" cells.When you are ■" run , down," take Virol regularlythree times a day. • Above all, give Virol toanyone, adult or child, who, in a weak condition ofhealth, seems to catch so easily any cold of

ENTERTAINMENTS.J. C. .WILLIAMSON'S NEW COMIC
OPERA COMPANY'At the Dresden on Mondnv morningat 9 o'clock tlio box plans u ill bo open-
cd for tlio five representation ,) of FnnzLohar's comic opera success, "The Countof Luxembourg," ■which is to be stagedby J. C. Williamson's New Comic OperaCompany on Wednesday next and fourfollowing, nights, and for the five pro-ductions of the pretty nnd humorousmilitary comic opera, "Autumn Ma-noeuvres," to be staged on Tuesday,January 27.. A queue will bo formedoutsido tho box office from 8 a.m. Itwould, it is said, be a very hard mat-ter to decide- which has proved themost popular of tho above two operas,as they both enjoyed the same lengthof seasons in Europe, and strangelyenough there was only a matter of afortnight between their respective runsin Sydney and Melbourne, whilst inAuckland they both attracted recordaudiences. Quito's foature of "TheCount of Luxembourg" is the intro-duced dances, and the waltz up thostaircase. The latter is executed byMiss Florence Young and Mr. FrankGreene, they waltz up a flight of stairs,thenco along a balcony, and down thesteps nn tho opposite aide, .and ail thetime they have to keep time to FranzLftlinr's delightful waltz melodies, thoeffect is said to be gracefully artistic,and at the same time most uniauo. Thenew comedian, Mr. Phil Smith, bns,it is stnted, fully accounted • for thesplendid Teports whidh preceded himfrom London and Sydney. Ho is alsothe possessor of a good Voice, and is anexcellent dancer. Mr. Robt. Whyte,jun., is another comedian who 'hasproved a great.asset to the rompany."Danse. Pompenette" executed by thefascinating young Russian dancer,Vlasta Novotna, and Charlie Albort,created a triumph in Sydney and Mel-bourne, the action of tlie opera havingto bo stopped nightly for many minutesowing to tho recalls demanded by therindhenees. Vjasta Novotjna. in" thisfeat of acrobatic grace moves, it issaid, with a delightful freedom, andwhen tho final eccentricity comes, in ft.dive of two swaying bodies, the effwt,it is stated, is rather sensational. Thelate boot to Day's'Bay will bo (Wavedon Wednesday night nest until afterthe performance. ,:,■-

Theatre, the will 6ubmitfor the first time here what is describ-ed ns a highly extolled Pathecolour re-production in 3000ft. of motion, picturesof the old mythological legend"Psyche."

Psyche arousesthe joalousy of Venus who orders Cu-pid _to kill her rival, bat Cupid fallsa victim to Psycho's charms. Furtherangered by this, Venus strikes tliogirl'sfather with illness,, the only cure forwhich, the oracle maintains, is the sac-rifico of his daughter. Psycho is ex-posed on a mountain, but Cupid res-cues and marries her exacting fromher a promise never to lift her veil.This promise sho breaks and is ban-ished to tho outer world, Brought toVenus sho is told that she may win par-don if eho can obtain the casket ofbeauty from Proserpine, goddess of thelower world. This she succeeds in do-ing after a perilous journey and handsit to Venus. Tenus is now immune fromall rivalary and restores Psyche toCupid.

Church, and a high birth-rate.Families of twenty have, been common
i in. Quebec, - and though overcrowdingand insanitary conditions-in parts re-sulted ill a high infantile mortality, andmado tho women of Quebec very proneto consumption, the French ha,ve accom-
! plished their desire to possess at kastone province of the Dominion as theirown. In tho decade 190141, the Brit-ish population of Cana'da, fed by con-tinuous . immigration
... from the Statesand the United Kingdom, racreased by
I 27.22 per cent," ■ In. the same timo theFrench population, fed by no tributary,increased by 22.59 per cent,, whiletown-
'■ ships in the Eastern part of Quebec,which used to bo English, have becomeFrench, and Roman Catholio sclioglshave displaced Protestant. Even On-tario; which prides itself on being moreBritish than London,,: has folt theli'-rench invasion. l -V- ¥'4V • - - :
Tliero is no menace in this segrega-tion and increase of French-Canadians.They are a source of- strength toCanada and the Empire. They are not-disloyal,... though they>have-often hadto 'submit to the- taunt. If you wishto realise the essential greatness of theBritish Emniro, go to the noMo Par-liament Buildings in Quebec, note tlio;French heroes whose fame is perpetu-ated in the niches—Champlain, Mont*calm, Maison Neuvo, Montmorency,Laval, end a host of others whosenames are probably unknown to you—note the Union Jack spread in thebreeze above them, and reflect that inQuebec, where English is practically aforeign tongue, that flag is held in theflamo reverence and affection as in Lon-don. Then tour to. tho south of thofamous Chateau Frontenao -observe thosimple granite- shaft'which enmmpmrtr-isies Woifo and Montealm, and read theinscription; "Valor gave them a com-mon death. History, a common famo. !and Posterity n- common ' monument."To do this is : to realise that tho chiefglory of the British. Empire is that it.respects the ■ rights, and consciences ofminorities.,, :. "j-V- tf's , '--i}^' :,:: ■-.:". - '" -.•■■
Tho Nationalist Movement.: ; "
French-Canadians are not militarists.Tho Nationalist movement, which aims ;to keep Canada out of the general massof the. Empire,-- originated 'amongst■them. This is not .disloyalty. . It is theprejudice—obsession, if you will—of anagrarian people. French-Canadians orefarmers, ana ■- their,, forefathers . wereNormandy They are. an iso-lated community, susceptible to fewoutsido inttuonces, and with little ideaof world politics. They have 310 his-tory. They do isot want to fight, midIthey think they have no enemies.Therefore they do.not want to spendmoney on armaments. But if ever■French-Canadians realise the dsinger ofanother Hag floating over tho Citadelof Quehcc, the Nationalist movementwill collapse like a pricked bubble, andthoy will rush to arms. That is whatthey did when tho Americana invadedCanada. French-Canadians would per-haps prefer independence- to the Britishconnection, but they infinitely preferthe British connection to the' nilo ofany other power. They know that theirseparate schools . would not continueunder tho Stars and Stripes, and thattheir religious privileges would, be cur-tailed. . Tho domination of Germanywould ho intolerable, and the tricolor'of
i Eppublican and secular Franco wouldbo more irksome than tho Union Jack.Quebec owes nllogjaneo to Rome, andafter that to King' George. .
"Lot us be French as tho Americans[are English," says' M. Bourassa, theNationalist leader, and in so sayinghe merely reiterates the determinationof French-Canadians to preserve theirlanguage. They have done this so wellthat if you walk into one of the unpre-tentious but exeellont restaurants thatabound in the east end of Montreal youwill probably have to talk French ororder by dumb show. There have, beena few ill-timed attempts to make Eng-lish the language of' Quebec, butit is now.- agreed that Quebecmust £or ever be a bi-lingun.lprovince, with French tho predominanttongue. It would be strange indeed ifthis were not so. for anyone who roadshistory without bias must acknowledgethat in tlio discovery- and settlementof Quebec, and Canada generally, theFrench played a far more important'part than the English. Their heroicpriests- carried the cross and the flagfar inland in the face of privation andperil. Wolfe's military genius changedtho destiny of Canada, but it did notaltogether wipe out history.
If time has dealt kindly with' French-Canadian ambition to possess Quebecit lias blurred some wilder dreams. Onefif these was that the sacrifices, ofFrench mothers might peoplo Canada.The high birth-rate in Quebec has beentho expression of a political hope wliiehtho Church encouraged. At one timethoProvincial Government used to.giveland grants to largo families, and butfor the eiwrmous non-French immigra-tion into Canada the dream might havecome near realisation. - Even now the
; Church has a, tender regard for its ad-herents outsido Quebec. On Juno 24last hundreds of French women wereselling buttons and flags on the streetsof Montreal "for the education of On-tario." If one asked in English thepurposo of this effort thoy replied inFrench: "Don't you speak French?"Tho proceeds were to bo devoted tothe propagation of the French languagein Ontario and to the French schools.
In its French population Canada hasan asset of tremendous value, an assetwhich is best appreciated after a visit-to the Prairies. Tho besetting sin oftho "Wost is materialism. If Quebeohas any fault it is other worldlmoss.Wost of "Winnipeg nothing counts buttlio dollar; there is little leisure, littloreverence, littlo contemplation, no timofor day-dreams. In Quebec province!Wo Church is supreme, literature flour-ishes as nowhere elso in Canada, thopriest passes contemplatively, the habi-tant tills his ancentral farm; 1 and thobusy world rushes by unheeded. . Que-bec has escaped the materialism thatthreatens-to strangle the rest of Can-ada. The Freßcli-Canadinn is thereforea valuable factor in the national make-:up, whatever • his intrinsic weaknessmay be. : ■ ; . -■.■■' ■ . ■:.;...<!-.,',.; :Ths Power of tho Crtureh.Quebec is even more' Roman Catholic

These taxesare enforced by the civil Courts.Schools and teachers arc under the di-rect, control of the Church, which wasformerly, wont , to exorcise*a direct con-Vtrol over the political machinery of thoprovince." In recent years the Church,.though, it 'lifts continued to exorcise alargo influence, direct and indirect, onpolitics, has interfered less ostentatious-ly.:. The rebuke, of tho Church is stilldreaded in Quebec; in former years itlias silenced newspapers, closed then*tres, and altered tho amusements of.the people.
Tho results of Roman Catholic domin-ation in Quebec province are to bejudged in two ways. Visit tho rami-try aud you find a peasantry which isfrugal, hoisest, hospitable, kindly, ig-norant, and without enterprise. VisitMontreal and' you find a city two-thirdsFrench with two-thirds of tho wealthand industry in English hands. Prob-ably French enterprise has been crip-pled by lack of capital, but there isno reason to doubt that tho ascendancyof Protestants in business is duo totheir superior education. Tho teachingimparted at Roman Catholicschools lia-sbeen utterly inadequate and little suit-ed for commercial purposes. A changeis at hand, the Provincial Governmentnow showing ailniirablo enthusiasm foran all-around improvement m educationalfacilities. _ Not only , is the primarycourse being made nioro thorough, butgreat attention is beiug paid to techni-cal and agricultural education. Withthis improvement in French schools anda moro generous supply of capital fromParis it is probable that British com-morcial supremacy at Montreal will be'moro severely tested in tho future thanui the past.
I hope the spread of education inQuebec province willnot lead to allencroachment of that materialism whichis blighting Western life. If it <Joes,thero will bo a net loss, butthefo isno reason why it should. Wore thatquiet, Old-World corner to become justlike the rest of North America itwould be a tragedy. . .. 1
BUTT RIVER BOARD.. ..■:■, ■ 4 ,
At a meoting of the Butt Rive?Board on Thursday evening tho chair-man (Mr. H. Baldwin) reported thatho had, in company with Mr. W. CM(clerk) and Mr. F. Kershaw (overseer)inspected tho properties that had been;affected by tho late flood in. tho TaitaIdistrict, Messrs. Caleinai and Hooperhad lost heavay, and he thought thatthe board should consider thoyuestion of raising funds for:tho protection of these and otherproperties in the event of furtherfloodß. On the south of Mr. Welch'sproperty the river was inclined to workits'way eastward, and flroynes had tobo erected there to keep the river fromworking towards the low beach nearMason's Gardens. At Parker's beachto tho north of Moiling Bridge thenvor wns_ gradually removing tho beach.At' Pitcaithly's tho river was workingto the western, side, aud Mr. Rteaitlilyhad been instructed' not to remove anymow gravel from tho beach. Owingto tho large quantity of gravel comingdown the river and the small amountthat the contractors were removing fromthe beaches it seemed to him tli.it theboati would have to takn other steps tohare tho gravel removed. A bnr hadformed at the rivor mouth, and lie re-commended that Mr, Laini;-M«asoii,thoboard's engineer, bo asked to report ash> the host means of opening themouth.
After considerable discussion it wasdecided to hold over further considera-tion until a reply had been receivedfrom tho Harbour Board. Sonio aiem-hers expressed tho opinion that'tinsbndy was responsible for tho remoterof the bar,
In his report the overseer (Mr fKershaw) stated thnt the boom groyne■opposite Mason's Gardens in tho up-per district had been completed at acost of £70 &. lid."

JENKINS AND MACK ... Solo Agents, Wellington.
THEPOULTRYINDUSTRYAnswers to Correspondents.
"J. 0.," Ohakune.—Dust tbo fowls witha good insect powder. A few appli-cations will: remedy matters, loumay safely use a male bird from an-other breeder who has a reputablestrain of birds.
T. Hannah, Greomneadows.—No; thoprices quoted are qnito correct.Last week in the. same market tablechickens realised 10s. 4d. per pair,but for primo quality. It would notpay to send White Leghorns. Theseprices are- obtained for birds five-to six months, old of the heavy
breeds and weighing 5 to 71b.,livo weight.
"5.8.," Hutt.—l would not recommendclosing the birds in continually.Housing in this way affects thoconstitution, which may not be ap-
• parent for a year or so. It is hotterto give birds free, range (Turing thesummer months. Close confinementis not injurious for winter, butthree months should be tho limit.
"E.8.." Blenheim.—The chickens arowhat wo torm "sports," and aro theresult of a throw-back to a breed,whence they sprung. . Change themale. bird, low present bird isworthless.
....
"Interested," Lower Hutt. —Tho pro-ducer .certainly sets a bad examplefor co-operation, but you must notbo too hasty in your judgment.Ho may havo contracts to fill thatwere entered into before the com-pany started. At their expiry youwill doubtless find him joiningforces' with others.
"R.L.," Johnsonville.—Tho troublo isbumble-foot. Lower tho swellingand apply a linseed poultice. Keepthe bird in a coop with, soft beddinguntil the foot is well.
"E.J.M.," Piringia.—Tho trouble withtho eggs being so shows therp ibwant of protom. Feed moro animalfood. Uso meat meal or boiJedlivers. . .•
"A.5.," Tapawera.-—Tho New Zealand'Poultry Association, may take thomatter up at next conference.
■ Write to. the.secretary, Box 588,Ohristclrurch. Tho Vent-uro hasproved a great success. Agents inVancouver aro asking for largershipments' to bo mado. ' ' '
"Amateur," Northland.—The bird issuffering from leu weakness. It isa sign of weak constitution, andyou should discard him and replacewith a stronger bird. Keep thesexes separate. ■ They'thrive better.Give the malo birds a run to them-selves/
"L.H.," Wellington.—Tho matter of in-breeding is a serious undertaking,
. and should not be practised by thebeginner. Many good strains aremined by inbreeding. Small eggsand weakened constitutions are theresult. ■
"L.P.," 'Hutt;—Discard the bird as abreeder and replace with a vigorousbird. Your results prove this stopnecessary.
"A.P:," Ngaio.—Do ,not rush, into poul-try-keeping for a living. You havehad.no experience, and you will onlycourt failure, Learn how to feedfor; eggs, and hatch and roarchickens. Get experienco and thenyou can decide, tho step,to take.
Weighed in'the Balance.'P? e /e.-.lvero 155 pans of-fowls-atPara-'
field on.; July.3l ; .(eqiial vfco;-930 hens),"and 10l pens pulled tho necessaryweight of 240z. for an average dozencgps, which is a very satisfactory re-sult, following,is an extract from thoPoultry Expert's report on the matter:—"Regulation 12 states—'Any pens,the/eggs from which do not attain anaverage weight of 240z. per dozen bvJuly 31, 1913, will be ineligible' to par-ticipate in tho prizo-monoy, and will bereturned to tho owners. On July 31tho eggsof each pen, were set aside forthe ofheial weighing. The results, asshown in the following table, are verysatisfactory. Only four pens failed toproduce eggs weighing 240z. to thedozen. This represents roughly 2.6 percent. Thirty-mno pens . just readiedtho required standard, and to the own-ers of theso I would offer timely warn-ing that they aro in a dangerous posi-tion. Thirteen pons recorded Joz.abovo tho standard, and tho breedersof theso are reminder! that the marginof safety is tod small. The publio arobecoming informed upon ninny pointsrelating to poultry breeding, 'and thodemand is for stock that will producestandard-sized or even larger eggs."": -' The Crowing Stock.
i Now is tho time when the greatestcare should be given tho growing' stock.Feed freely; "full and plenty" should boyour aim. See that clean water is al-ways before the birds. ' Scparato thosexes. Give tho birds plenty of shade.Do not feed top much animal food, asforcing is injurious. It results in earlylaying and small eggs. Six months forLeghorns and sovon for heavy breeds issoon enough. There are many whomake a boast of birds laying at four tofivo months old. This is too soon, andgood results cannot bo expected. Feedample green fond. It keeps tho bloodpure and the birds will develop moresteadily. Get ready for winter laying.It is then. that the high prices aroclipped. •
