CANADA'S NEXT GOVERNOR. VIVISECT OR LET BABIES DIE.
Queen Mary's Brother to Succeed
°the . Duke of Connaught.
A despatch from London says:
Prince Alexander of Teck, third son
of the late Duke of Teck, is to suc-
ceed the Duke of Connaught as
Governor-General of Canada,.
His Serene Highness Prince Alex-
ander Augustus Frederick George
of Teck, G.C.B., G.C.V.O., was
born April 14, 1874, married 1904
Her Royal Highness Princess Alice
of Albany, daughter of. the late
Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany,
youngest son of 'Queen Victoria.
Their children are:
Princess May Helen Emma, born
Jan. 23, 1906.
Prince Rupert Alexander George
Arigustus, born Aug.. 24, 1907.
Prince Alexander of Teck is a
brother of Queen Mary. He will
take up his duties' in October, at
the expiration of the term of the
Duke of Connaught. The Prince is
a'keen soldier, but he has bad little
administrative experience. He is,
however, a hard worker and a, good
organizer. He has done much in
the cause of charity, especially in
behalf of hospitals and in the fur-
therance of cancer research,
The Princess of Teck is a great
favorite, and she is unanimously
voted the prettiest and the best
dressed of the British Royal Prin-
oesseis,
Prince Alexander, who is a major
in the Second Life Guards, served
in the Matabeleland campaign and
in South Afrioa for two years, and
to his ether titles added that of the
Distinguished Service Order, which,
next to the Victoria Cross, is the
chief ambition of the military men
in Great Britain.
Ilow Princess of Teel; Ranks.
The exact rank of the Prineesses
of Teck is rather an interesting
question. In England they rank in
practice immediately after the
Slaughters of the Duke of Fife, to
,shorn the late King Edward gave a
definite precedence immediately af-
ter those of the Royal Family, who
bear the title
of
Royal Highness.
But
the Teaks are, merely aducal
family, although they bear the title
of Prince. The late Duke of Teck
was given the title of "Highness"
by Queen Victoria in the jubilee
year of 1887, but 'apparently this
title was a purely personal one and
did not descend to his children.
The AImanach de Gotha—the recog-
nized authority on such matters—
places the Princes both of Teck and
Battenberg in its third part. along
with the other British and foreign
Drs. Chapin and Hand Say Animal
Tests Save Thousands.
A despatch from Philadelphia
says: Vivisection has been the
means of saving the lives of many
thousands of children, det:lared two
well-known physicians before the
Philadelphia Pedriatic Society at
the College of Physicians. They
were Dr. Alfred $and, jr.,of this
city, and Dr. Henry Dwight Cha-
pin, of New York. Dr. 'Hand, . at-
tending physician at the Children's
Hospital, declared that it was due
to experiments upon, animals that
the invaluable blood test, whereby
the presence of typhoid gerrn:s are
detected, was discovered. He said
that through vivisection doctors
hope soon to eliminate the "white
plague" and had in fact discovered
a way to -cure a large number of
cases of infantile spinal meningitis.
Dr. Chatpin declared that "false
statements and hysterical outpour
ings of small but vociferous oppon
ents" had they been of any value
might have prevented the discovery
of the antitoxin which saves the
lives of three out of every four
children stricken with diphtheria.

BILL TO ABOLISH .TIPPING.
Senator Davis Seeks to Put an End
to "Demoralizing" System.
A despatch from Ottawa, says:
Tips will be abolished within a
month if Senator Davis, Prince Al-
bert, and a number of other Sena-
tors and members of Parliaanien5
have their way,° and it looks as if'
they might. Senator Davis' bill,'
which provides for a. fine or impri-'
sonment for tipping, and making l
the employer, the eanployee and• -tire'
person offering the gratuity liable,'
was given stecond reading . in the
Senate on Wednesday. :k t
In moving the reading Senator
Davis Paid 'that within recent years,
an intolerable system of petty]
bribery had grown up all over the
world, known as the 'tipping system)
It had become such a nuisance that
it was time it was grappled with by,
legislation, and he believed his bill
would htay.e the support of ninety
per cent. of the people of the coup -
try who were now subject to .
growing scale oil; graftand tips ie
order to obtain accommodation and
service. A person on a journey had
to constantly have his hand in his,
pocket, and had to bribe his way
throughout his trip. The Semartor�
said that tipping hail a detinoraliz
ing effect on :personii who, receive
tips. It had a tendency to pauper
ize waiters, porters and other per,
sons, who should stand on a plane
