keep a tavern, known as \u201cThe White House.\u201d He was also road surveyor; laid roads in that infant colony, which in 1640 crooked cart roads, running hither and thither along the river banks amid the pasture lands and out a little way into the surrounding country.Travel was mostly on horse back or possibly by one horse chaise and ox carts.One of the prime needs for the colony was a system of good roads.R.Andrews and three others were appointed road surveyors in Jan.1640.The road laws laid down were applicable to all men and boys above 14 years of age, who had to turn out under the penalty of forfiting double wages both carts and workmen, the road surveyors being judges as to default, etc.On occasion they had the power to call out all the inhabitants for one day's work to meet an emergency, in case it occured, thus the hand of Robert Andrews helped shape the highways of Massachusetts.The founders of the Ipswich Colony | first known by the Indian name of Agawam, were men of mark led by Jobn Winthrop, jr., son of Gov.Winthrop.* They came in 1633, others followed in 1634; notably Rev.Thomas Parker and his friends who removed very soon to Newbury on the banks of what still bears the name of Parker river.It was understood that Winthrop was \u2018\u2018to live or dié\u2019\u2019 with those pioneers whom he had led into wilderness of Agawam.Bot in 1635he was armed with authority to found a plantation in Connecticut and in 1637 was appointed commander of the castle of Boston.Alarmed by such signs, fifty citizens of Ipswich issued a formidable remonstrance against the removal of their leader, pleading that it was for his sake thatthey had come to that place and that he ought not to be tempted to forsake \u2018that portion of land and love which God hath given him among us.\u2019 The name of Robert Andrews stood seventh in the list of fifty signers.Several inducements were given Wintbrop to remain but he removed in 1639.Mrs.Johane Andrews, who lived at Tower Hill, London, England, in her will proved Jan.14-1597, states that she was the sister-in-law of Robert Andrews and mother of Launcelot Andrews, Bishop \u2018of Winchester.She was also a sister-in-law

inventor~The Actual Test\u2014Picture of the House in Which It Was Made.The Bell Telephone Memorial Association of Brantford, Ont, purposes commemorating the invention of the telephone and perpetuating the memory of the inventor, Dr.Alexander Graham Bell.The plan is to purchase the Bell homestead on Tutela Heights, near the City of Brantford, and make of it a public property of some sort, and to erect a monument to the inventor in the city.The estimated cost of the two purposes has been placed at some $35,000 to $40,000.The Prince of \u2018Wales, Earl Grey, the Earl of Minto, the Right Hon.the Earl of Stamford, Hon.W.Mortimer Clark, Hon.J.P.Whitney, Hon.G.W.Ross and Sir Thomas G.Shaughnessy are the patrons and the honorary president is Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal.The proposal has already received the warm approval of many eminent men, including that of the Prince of Wales, who with the Princess visited Brant.ford in 1901, and who on that occasion was presented by the corporation with a fully-equipped long-distance tele- one.Prof.Bell was in Brantford recently, the guest of honor of the board of trade, and on that occasion in the course of a speech related how the telephone was born.Removed from all associations with the \u2018phone for many years past, Prof.Bell said he had almost forgotten that he was the inven- i BELL HOMESTEAD, TUTELA HEIGRTS, BRANT (Cradle of the telephone).tor of it.The speeches of the evening, however, had refreshed his memory, and he proposed to give the assembly the exact facts of the invention, now told, probably, for the first time.In detail he then entered into a consideration of the invention under two heads: First, the birth of the idea of the \u2018phone, and, second, the development of fre invention and the first actual est.In 1874 Mr.Bell, then residing in Bostoif, Mass, came to Brantford to visit his father.He had been studying the science of sounds for the teaching of deaf and dumb, and on this occasion brought with him a human ear, which had been taken from a dead person.One day in examining the ear for special discoveries of the effect of sound on it he noticed that when he spoke certain bones in the ear seemed to vibrate.The air currents caused by \u201c speech set the membrane of the ear in action, and in turn the bones moved as if in the transmission of sound.The process proved interesting to Mr.Bell, and he made further tests.He placed a straw behind the bones, and, laying the ear on a piece of smoked glass, continued to speak into the member.He found that the movements of the bones and straw recorded peculiar marks on the smoked glass, varying in size and shape, according to the tone and volume of voice.Pondering over the experiment, he conceived the idea that if sound vibrating on a thin membrane would cause the heavy bones of the ear to move and apparently record the sound, why could it not be possible to get @ heavy membrane to cause iron to vibrate before a magnet, with the same resultant effect in the recording transmission of sound.\u201cOut of this thought,\u201d said Prof.Bell, \u201cinstantly came the conception of | the telephone.I conceived that idea ' in Brantford,\u201d he continued.\u201cIt came as a flash and Brantford is, therefore, the birthplace of the telephone.\u201d Two years passed during which Mr.Bell had considerable difficulty in practical ly carrying out his conception.He returned to Boston, where he secured instruments of one kind and another, * but it was not until the summer of 1876 that the first actual transmission of speech was made, the first in the history of the world.It took place over the telegraph wires of the Dominion Company, extending from Brantford to Mount Pleasant, a distance of five miles.Mr.Bell was at the Mount Pleasant, or receiving, end of the wire, the messages being transmitted only one way as the instruments would not permit of reciprocal service.À given time was fixed when his uncle should speak into the transmitter at Brantford.At the re- celving end, Bell waited patiently, and when the time came he heard quite distinctly his uncle\u2019s voice five miles distant, the first words being \u201cTo be or not to be.\u201d \u201cIt was a case of to be,\u201d the speaker remarked amid applause.Other similar tests followed in various paris, and the inventor then gave his attention to perfecting the invention.This was done in the States.\u201cBut Brantford\u2019s claim cannot be disputed,\u201d he continued.\u201cThe idea of the \u2018phone had its birth in Brantford, and the first actual transmission of speech in the history of the world took place from Brantford.Essbntially, therefore, Brantford is the home of the telephone.\u201d !

LIFE OF LYDIA F.PINEPAM And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the \u201cPanic of \u201873 Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores.remarkable woman, whose mien name was Estes, was bom in Lynn, Mass, February 9th, 1819, coming from a good ol uaker ily.For rome years she taught school, and hecame known as a woman of an alert and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, poesessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature.In 1843 she married Isaac l'inkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by rosperity and happiness.They had our children, three sons and a daughter.In those d old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies\u2014calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases.By tradition and experience many of them gained & wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs.Mra.Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease.She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest-fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the fleld there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medicines for her own family and friends.Chief of these was a rare combination cf the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E.Pinkham\u2019e friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them.All this so far was done freely, without money and without price a a labor of love, But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn.Its length and severity were too much for the real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful de- ression, so when the Centennial year awned it found their property swept away.Some other source income had to be found.At this Vegetable to the world, The three sons and the daughter, with int Lydia E.Pinkham\u2019s mpound was made known their mo\u201cher, combined forces to reatnre the fæzuiiy lurtune.They anrued that ie inecicine which was go good for tucir woman fricnds and neighbors wos equally i300: for the women of the whole worid.The Pinkhame had no money, and little crecit.Their first laloratory wus the kitchen, where roots and herb were stecped on thie rtove, gradually filing a groes of buttks.\"Chen cume the question of wcillnz it, for alwuvs before they had Even it awuy freely.\u2018Tlicy hired a job rinter to run off some pampl:lets setting orth the merits of the medicine, now calka Lydia E.J'inkham's Veg table Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkhain rons in Boston, ew York, and Brooklyn.The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the demand gradually increased.In 1877, by combined efforts the family had eaved enough money to commence newspaper advertieing and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until to-day Lydia E.Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become houschold words everywhere, and many tons of roots and her are used annually in its manufacture.Lydia I.Pinkliam herself did not live to eee the great enceess of this work, She passed to her rev.ard years azo, but not till ehe had provided means for continuing her work as effectively as che could have done it herself.During her Jong and eventful experi- cnce sho wae ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to preserve a record of ex: rv case that came to her attention.Tle cise of every gick woman who applicd t- her for advice\u2014 and there were thoucands\u2014received careful study and rhe details, including symptomes, treatment and reru!ts were recorded for futire referenre, and to-day there records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent a vart collaboration of information rerarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in'any library in the world.With Lydia E.Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mre.Pink- ham.She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence.To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its originator passed away.For nearly twenty-five years rhe lias continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E.Pinkham drop her pen, and the present Mrs.Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up.With woman asistants, some as capable as herself, the present Mrs.Pinkham continues this great work, and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been advieel how to regain health.Sick women, this advice is

on Its Rocke\u2014The Two White Octagonal Towers of the Lizard Lights and Their Message to Sailors.Before men knew that the earth was round, the Lizard was a famous landfall of the world, - The Roman galleys sped by it with gaudy sails and save-plied tiers of mighty oars.The Norman cinquerors, driven far west by channel gaies, halied it with joy as they won back again after days and weeks of beating in their uncouth ships.More than one of the \u201cgreat sea castles\u201d of the Spanish Armada shattered itsef against the cavernous rocks at its base.When ships of 200 tons burden were considered monstrous, the brave sea hearts of England, with neither seox- tant nor Mercators charts to help them, took their landfall or thelr departure observations from the old Sphinx-like head of rock that is as well known as England is herself.Like Sandy Hook, this famous place whose name is almost a h>usehold word from Anchangel to Cape Horne, is practically unknown in everything except name.The drowned and half- drowned rocks that lie scattered In the unpeaceful seat at fits feet forbid a close approach to it by ships, and all that captains, crews or passeng rs ace of it is the glmpse cf the lizard-like format! ns that may be obtained from a distance of two miles or so, as the ships speed by, speaking thelr colorcd flag language to the Cornish signal station.\u201cLizard\u201d expresses its g neral appearance fairly well, although.like most «of the fanc!ful names that are given to prominent landmarks on account of their supposed resemblance to something else, It is not always easy to sce that the Lizard really does 1l»ok like a great lizard squatting in reptilian clumsinees on the southern end of oid England.But, seen from the proper angle and under the proper conditions, the resemblance to a huge, fat, wrinkl à lizard 18 not sv hard to find, and then it is easy, too, to see why its eastern end should have been called The Beast, for, like a huge, uncouth beast it looks over the hcad and shoulders of the Lizard.Tw: hundred feet and more high, and descending sheer into a fretted sea, Is this most southern piece of England.In clear weather it is visible twenty-four miles by day, and on a nearer approach its two white lighthouses (twin towers like those that look over Sandy Hook at the other end of the ocean road) make it easily the most characteristic landfall that a sajlor can wish, so that even a perfect stranger, who has nev r steered a ship into English waters, can recognize the Lizard on sight.The two white towers of the Lizard lights are octagonal, sixty-one feet high, and burn fixed white electric lights that shine out 230 feet above the high water mark, and are visible twenty-one sea miles or twenty-four land miles.They have a purpose beyond merely telling the mariner that England has been reached, or warning him away from the ripraps of rbcky teeth that sow the Channel there.So long as the sailor keeps those two white lights In line by night or the two white towers by day, so long is he safe from going .on the most wicked and deadly rocks In the narrow seas \u2014 the far-known Manacles that lie between Lizard Point and Nare Point, and have added some of the most terrible stories of the sea to its literature.Not from all aspects does the Lizard look like the reptile that has given its name to the noble headlands.Seen a little to eastward from the sez, Lizard Head looks strikingly like the mutilated head and face of a Sphinx.In the old days, when the face of the great Lord Brougham was familiar to men, they used to say that the Lizard, seen from the land behind it, was strikingly llke à massive bust of the peer.But not many saw it frm landward in those days.Indeed, not very many See it now; for the peninsula of the Lizard is a lonely, wild country, where there is little to attract men to live, although there is wild and terrifying scenery to attract tourists, But the way to the grand scenery is tiresome and uninspiring\u2014so much so that the | wonders of the desolate coast remained practically an unknown thing until the nineteenth century, because travelers who had penetrated Into C>rnwall as far as the beginning of the peninsula generally became discouraged by the monotony of the inland scencry and retired without going as far as the ultimate southern coast, Sn it was that the Lizard remained and Is still to a large extent a primitive, unknown place.Mixed w!th its ancient Cornish stock is a breed of handsome, black-eyed, dark-faced people, and these ase descendants of the Spanish satiors of the Armada, whose ships \u2018were cast on the terrible teeth of thn Stags and other wave-lathercd rocks that ring the iron coast.Coarse and naked roads lead to the Lizard\u2014treeless, flat, monotonous.A few tararick hedges stick up here and there.Here and there are a few gray apple trees, silvered with lichens.The soil is decomposed hornblende rock.So scarce are trees that long ago a hedge near Lizard Town was christened Lix- ard Wood because it showed a few stunted thorn trees, Fierce winds beat the land; yet the climate is so mild that a few days of frost are considered as making quite a hard winter there, and snow rarely lies long on the ground.Below the lighthouses the ground slopes away suddenly and makes an abrupt promontory.At ons extremity of this promontory, but not the most southern, rises an impressive, strange column of rock.It is the Bumble, sometimes accessible from the land at low water, but always hammered by ever- vexed Water on the seaward side.The most southerly rock of England rises from the son à little distance from this.26 fe the Batha, and is a mass of mica that shines splsndidly ta the sun.Near it is another massive, Insulated rock, perforated by a natural archway.It ls known as the Island of Crenval.Between this point and old Polpeer is & steep eliff worn into many caves by the sea.Bome of these are forever crumbling away, for throughout this coast the fall of rock is almost inces- saut, owing to the tremendous battery by the surf.A few years ago there was a cave hers that could be approached with fair safety at low water, that was tapestried by wonderful sea ferns and floored with bright golden sand, in which flashed pools of water fuil of gorgeous seaweeds, making them look like great rubies set in dim aisles of rock.From the great headlands beyond this spot is & most noble view.The promontory terminates in three masses of lofty, plied-up rocks, the most easterly being the Little Lizard, and the most westerly and largest the Old Lizard Head.A short way from shore, standing deep in the green water, is a black rock called the Quadrant, and beyond it the lofty piilar of Lion Rock stands in lonely deflance, as If it had waded from the mainland in Titanic rebellion.This is the rock that was described in such glowing language by Charles Littleton, Dean of Exeter, and subsequently Bishop of Carlisle.\u201cThis rock.\u201d said he, \u201cas well as the others, is enameled with the most beautiful coiors, and decorated with samphlire and other sea plants.\u201d \u201cEnameled,\u201d indeed, are the rocks to this day.The formation of many of the cliffs is serpentine, and so many varied and gorgeous characteristics dos this kind of rock assume that the changing aspects of the cliffs and recfs fill the lover of nature with ecstasy.Black, green, yellow, red, plished like glass by the never-weary waves, rise the cliffs.Everywhere are water-w ™m caves.Some are tiny, but glow in purple and crimson, owing to the lavish growth of seaweed, which gathers so fast on this coast that a fish net is Breen and red with plants after a few Weeks of service.Others are lifty, with roofs vaulted like cathedrals, and through thelr mysterivus aisles the sea thunders in organ tones.On calm days the mutterings of the surf is broken again and again by buomings like signal guns.Thige ar: the caves, spouting forth foam, air and water as the tide fills them.Beveral of these spouting caves are famous and are known by such names as Bellows and Post ffice.The latter ls so called because beside the outrush of water there is an Inrush of alr so violent that a piece of paper held near.the crevices of the rock is sucked Into the \u201cbowels of the earth\u201d with a vast rumbling that dies away de-p below.When a storm beats the Lizard and its rocks, the surf is greater and more terrible than any in the world except In a few noted and dreaded places.So flercely dnes it batter the stone walls of England's southern end that men standing on the cliffs Imagine that they can feel the solid land Itseif trembling under the shock.In winter the waves often beat clear over the highest point of the rocks till the twin lights stand in a pouring\u2019 cloud of spray as If embattled.The onrush from the open ocean and the backwash from the shattered waves clash together and smoke high in the air, till even the most lofty of the sentinel rocks emerge only momentarily from the broken water that flies across and over them like gray banners of the Sea.As far as the eye can see, wind- driven spray drifts fast, from headland to headland high over the gulfsy, where unceasing beat of thunder tells that the sea is whirling itself into white confusion below.Through that driving mist that moves steadily lke troops of phantom horse, the vast rocks of the promontory are Visible only at times.In those occasional appearances they seem white from bases to summits, so high do the froth and foam of the assalling ocean rise, The very froth {itself Is beaten so fiercely by the turmoll of the sea that it attains a consistency of its own and scuds in great spherical masses across and up the faces of cliff.It ls small wonder that In the days : of sail many ships drove in on thi# fearful trapwork of rocks, Even nw, in the days of high-powered steamers, the Lizard is dreaded.But nowad: ys the ships that go ashore strike usually because they blunder into the trop in fog and night.Once, when the Channel procession was white with sail instead of black with smoke as now.ships were forced in by the weather.and again and again the population of the Lizard watched vessels for days as they struggled against the doom that was shutting in on them steadily.The records of the Vicar of Muillon (the parish close on the headland) tell many tales of this kind.pr Faked Antiquities.There are numerous old curiosity- shops where it would be difficult to find an article which ls what it pretends to be.Furniture, prints, china, pictures, plate, armour, ivory, bronze and tapestry \u2014 all are successfully Imitated \u201cAntique\u201d armour and metal work of all kinds are made in thls country, and spurious \u201cantique\u201d china comes to Britain and her Colonies from France, Holland and Germany.The spurious print is perhaps the commonest trap of all, and the market is flooded with re-prints and reprodue- tions.Several firms are engaged in their production, and they cost the dealers of \u201cobjects or art\u201d from seven- and-sixpence to a pound aplece.Usually the paper is manipulated to give it the appearance of age, or the print Is put into an old frame.It is certain that countless numbers of them are sold as originals.Guarding His Dignity.As & large, ocean-going liner was making its way down the Clyde the officer in charge found his passage blocked by a dirty-looking, empty ballast barge, the only occupant of which was a man hing smoking a short pipe.Finding that he did not make any effort to get out of the way, the officer shouted to him In true nautical fash.fon.Taking the pipe from his mouth, the fellow rose and said: \u201cAn' is it yerself that's the captain of that ship?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d was the reply, \u201cbut ! am the chief officer.\u201d \u201cThen talk to your

WARS JUST CONCLUDED IN SOKOTO.Lively Little Affair in Which Natives Twice Charged British Bayonete- Revolt Was of Religious and Not of Political Origin \u2014 How Sheepish Natives Became Desperate Fighters ==Pesce With Their Extermination.To few readers has the name Sokoto LNY significance; it might belong to a patent medicine or a tribe of Indians for all the man in the street knows or cares.Yet in Sokoto, à province in Nigeria, haa just been concluded one of those little wars that are always beginning or ending somewhere or other under the British flag.The fight that crushed the rebellion must have been & lively little affair, foz we read that the natives twice charged upon the British bayonets, and that 300 of them had to be killed before the survivors gave up.The rebels were practically annihilated, and the expedition supplies one more instance of the desperate fighters that rellglous fanaticism will make of the most sheepish and ignorant natives.That the Sokoto revolt was of religious and not political origin is proved by an article in The London Times.A Mahdi arose and told the peopie that the white men were to be driven out of Nigeria.Of the dense population of the district only a devout handful listened to him, but the faithful polished up their spears and knives and took the warpath.Then & punitive expedition was fitted out, and the Sokotans were wiped off the face of the earth, and peace resumes her reign in Nigeria.The Nigerian Protectorates.The Northern Nigerian protectorate \u2018was established on Jan.15, 1900, and includes the northern portion of the territories formerly administered by the Royal Niger Co.The southern portion was taken over at the same time, \u2018and is known as Southern Nigeria.Fach ; protectorate has a high commission: r \"and an administrative body, appointed | by the British Government, as well as \u2018a amail field force.Northern Nigeria is bounded on one side by French pos- sessions in the hinterland of Dahomey : and the Soudan, and on another side by | German territory In the Camernons.Thus it occupies an Important strategical position.Control was established by slow degrees ,and only by the use of force; but in 1903 Kann, Sokoto, and | Kategum were occupled, after some stiff fighting, and since then there has been quiet and content in these benighted : reglons.An International Principle.| There was every reason for this satisfactory condition, as the Emir of So- kato was established on his throne by | the British, and felt grateful enough to swear on the Koran an oath of alleg- fance to King Edward.There is no evidence to show that he han broken faith.On the contrary, It appears that the Emir regards the revolt as directed : against himself, not less than against the Britlsh.Moreover, to be « ite accurate, the rising was In reality an Invasion, for it seems to have originated in French territory, and it will be recalled that France has been doing some suppressing on her own account, Says The London Times: inevitable solidarity of European peoples in presence qf a less fully develop- | ed civilization, afd shows the imposat- | bility of remaining indifferent to the methods employed by neighboring administrations.Disaffection in the territory of one power must have Its sympathetic disturbance In another; and the moral to be drawn from most African troubles is that European agree- | ment upon all important questions of native policy is very urgently to be desired.\u201d The application of this dictum to the matters now under discussion at Alge- ciras will occu to everyone, The Nigerian Prophecy.Englishmen who have ben In Northern Nigeria since the British protectorate was established now recall the prediction occasionally heard among the natives; that after five years of rule the white men would be swept away and not a trace of thelr occeupa- tion remain.in it elements of possibility will not be denied when one learns that the population of the Hausa States alone numbers about 30000,000, and that the Hausas are but a portion of the Nl.gerian peoples.When the Mahd! arose and made his appeal to the religious feelings of the people he was disappointed at the answer, for while several thousands fell in behind him, the black mililons remained indifferent or hostile.Religiously they considered him 8 heretic, politically an anarchist, To the Emir of Sokoto, who is also the head of the Mohammedan Church in the Western Soudan, they looked for leading in matters concerning the fatth, and the Emirs satisfaction with British rule was well known to them all.Nevertheless the Mahdi and his followers declared for war, and first attacked and destroyed a French port.Then they crossed into British territory, and there, as the despatches tell us, met their fate, Mohammedans Are Satisfied.i Speaking of some of the reasons that \u2018 made the Mahdi's rising a forlorn hope, The London Times says: \u201cOur knowledge of the religious sen- fiments of the country is too slight, and the nature of religious movements is everywhere too inexplicable by rules of ordinary reason, to enable us to speak with certainty of the effect which may be produced on even the most peaceful population by fanatical preaching.But prosperity may always be trusted to act as a pacific influence.Nothing has given greater satisfaction to the Mohammedan population of Northern Nigeria than the guarantee everywhere publicly given and scrupulously maintained of perfect religious toleration under the British flag.The ; customs of the peopls have been respected their mosques and schools Rave flourished.Their chiefs have | learned by association with white men ; the history of British rule in India, and | they folly understand shat Do religious dettet endangered t accepte anse of British protection.In Nigeste That this tradition had | Pr tt is the upper and relatively cultivated classes who are Mohammedans The most ignorant part of the population, the peasantry, among whom the infee- tion of religious excitement might be expected to spread, are for the most part pagan, and will of necessity remain indifferent to the preaching of a sacred war.\u201d The Partition of West Africa.Since it seems to be an accepted law that weak and uncivilised peoples occupying valuable iand shall be subdued and controlled by Christian nations, it in & little late in the day to quarrel with the fact that the partition of West Africa has been completed by the European powers, Gambia, Blerra Leone, Lagos, the Gold Coast, and Nigeria are the Lion's share; the Ger.: mans have the Cameroons and Togo- land; the French have Dahomey, and the Betglana have the Congo Btate.That the inhabitants of Nigeria should be happy and prosperous under British rule and unwilling to exchange it for the mastership of a Mahd! is a tribute to an administration, if not a justification of principle.FORTUNE IN HOTEL TIPS.Five Pound Notes Frequently Given

regular visitor at his particular table, Walters are not the only people who make money at hotels and restaurants.Carriage and other attendants at well-known resorts frequently receive flve-pound nites from wealthy patrons.In October, 1904, {t may be recalled, William McCullough, one of ten atten.danta in the cloak rooms at the Carlton Hotel, sued the management in the Westminster County Court for £83, 19s.i an his share of £891, which represented i the \u201ctips contributed by customers who used the rooms during the eighteen months he was employed there.The ; attendant, who sald his

were divided Into specified , shares, according to length of service and position among the attendants.| When he drew his first week's .money\u2014 £ 2\u2014he noticed, according to i an account shown, that the company deducted from the week's \u201ctips\u201d £13 for uniforms, and £1 for \u201cunnamed | calis.\u201d He was shown a printed ! ntatement that attendants agreed to the deduction

some twenty miles , distant, On his arrival he was cordially received by the Quaker, who, thinking the visitor had taken much pains to come so far to see him, treated him with a great deal of attention and politeness for several days.| As the visitor showed no signs of leaving, the Quaker became uneasy, but bore it with patience until the eighth day, when he sald to him: \u201cMy friend, 1
