There are two opinions concerning the right of any nation, however ad- vanced, to subdue and to govern an uncivilized or partly civilized people, even when the government is just and beneficent. There can be no two opin- ions regarding a nation that usea its power to oppress and rob its weaker '•-neighbor. It was the Germans' own deeds in their African colonies that made it impossble to restore those colonies after the war. In an article on the German raffle in Southwest AM- ea, friea, printed in the Fortnighty Review, the writer quotes the testimony of an under chief, Daniel Forego, of Ornaru- ru, concerning the reasons for the na- tive rebellion of 1904s Our people, he said, were being robbed and deceived right and left by German traders; our cattle were driven by force; we were flogged and Ill-treated and got no redress. In fact, the German police assisted the traders Instead of protecting us. Traders would come along and oiler goods. When we said that we had no cattle to spare, as the rinderpest had killed so many, they said they would give as credit. Often, when we refused to buy goods, the trader would simply unload goods and leave there, saying that we could pay when we liked; . but In a few weeks he would come back and demand hp money or cattle, He would then pick out the very best cows he could find, Theft and Robbery. 'Very often one man's cattle were taken to pay other people's debts. If he objected and tried to resist, the police would be sent for, and, what with floggings and the threats of shooting, it was useless for our poor people to resist. If the traders had been fair and reasonable, we should never have complaitled; but this was not trading at all-- It was theft and robbery, They fixed their own prices for the goods, but would never let us place our own valuation on the cattle. For a bag of meal they took eight sows, which were equivalent to six- teen oxen; for the Hereros would al- ways give two oxen for the cow, She Is a breeder, and we loved to increase Aur herds. For a pair of boots they took a cow, Most traders took only cows, for they were fanners also and wanted more cattle. • Often, when credit had been given, they carte back and claimed what they called intereston the debt. Once I got a bag of meal on credit, and later the trader came and took eight cows for the debt and two more cows for what he called credit; thus it cost nae ten cows altogether, Just before the rebellion in 1903 things got worse than aver. All the traders carie round and began to collect debts. Often their claims were quite false, and they were leliberately stealing our cattle. We complained to the German police, but they told us that we were all liars, and that the word of a German would al- ways be taken, even if half a' dozen. of as had the impudence to contradict him, That made us feel as if it were lust as well not to be alive. Our people cried and lamented the loss of their stock; our poorer people no longer had enough milk to brink; all our cows were going, and every month law our property dwindle away. We saw our chiefs, who complained and somplained until they Zvere tired, No deed was taken of them, and we had so courts of law to which to appeal for fustice. Export trade_ is not a hidden art like witchcraft or fortune-telling. the Canadian Trade Commission be- lieves dozens of firms in Canada could more in the foreign field df they termed "groups of industries." Extremes meet in the types of samples of goods for the Roumanian Government sent, for the Canadian 'rade Commtisaion's inspection. A few are perfect; many are, slovenly Ind °unattractive. Beginning to Rid Africa of Its Oppressors. The work of cleaning the Cameroons of Teutons is in progress. A number of German families who have been deported from there have arrived at Rotterdam en route for the Fatherland. The Cameroons are no longer a German colony, and their room was preferred to their company. The picture shows Ger- man wooed Carrying their luggage to the quay. DON'T BE A BORE! This May Not Apply to 'You—But Read It All the Sams. The art of conversation is worth studying. There are many rules to be observed, but they are all simple, and easy to remember. First, you must know what to talk about, The following rules will help yon: 1. Choose asubject which interests you. If it interests you It will prob- ably interest your audieuce. 2, Talk about things of which you have same special knowledge, for then you are sure to tell your audience somethiug new and interesting. Next you must know now to talk. 1. Talk modestly. Otherwise you will annoy your hearers by your self - assumed superiority. 2. Talk cheerfully and hopefully. Otherwise you will depress your friends, and they will wish to be rid of you. 3. Speak charitably or you will be- come a mere scandal-monger—a per- son•to be avoided. 4. Show an interest in your subject by your voice and planner. Interest is infectious, and your audience witl soon catch the infection. The rules about when to talk are all "Don'ts." 1. Don't talk to a person who 1a tired and wishes to rest. Don't teak to a person who is reading. Don't . talk to anyone who has something bet- ter to do than to listen to you. 2. Don't talk if you yourself are tired or depressed; for thenn your con- versation will be dull and depressing. 3. Don't be afraid that if you remain silent your friends will think you dull. In any case it is better to be passively dull than actively boring. 4. Don't hold forth if there are more interesting persons present. Try to draw them out by asking then] ques- tions, and showing an interest in them, You must- also know how to select your audience; that is, to whom you should talk. Therefore: 1. Talk to the parson who is Most likely to be interested in your conver- sation. 2: If you are a man you should pre- ferably address your conversation to a woman, and vice -versa. Men and women have a different outlook. A man's view of life will often be new and interesting to a woman, when it will seem obvious and commonplace to a pian. 3. Avoid talking about your work to a elan who is engaged in the same business as yourself. Don't talk shop. On the other hand, your work may be supremely interesting to a man en- gaged in some other business. These rules may not make you a brilliant conversationalist, for that re- quires special gifts, but if you follow them you will never bore your friends, and they will 'always be glad to listen to you. The Way of Peace. Saviour, in pity come to earth once more. Man cannot finds true peace without Thine aid; Thou art its Prince, take Thou Tbine honored place, And teach the rulers how Thy peace is made. The cleansing drops still ooze from out Thy side, Oh let them fall upon the hearts of those Who represent the nations; Saviour, heal Their leprosy, true source of all our woes. Lay Thy Sacred hands upon their sightless eyes That they may see, nor falter frons the way; The sparrows fall --and Thou hast counted those— The nations fall, more dear to Thee than they. Oh, loving Saviour, grant Thy people grace, Pour righteous truth into the minds of men, Teach them to know, and fear, and fol- low Thee, Bless Thou the world and give it peace again.

What the Sun Does. Letting the sun shine for a given time upon the blackened cover of a box filled with water or some other liquid, and noting the rise in tempera- ture, affords us a method of approxi- mating the amount of heat given off by the. sun.. By such a method it is estimated that the earth receives every second from the sun enough heat .to raise 600,000,00,0 tons of ice water tte the boiling point, or to melt 430,000,000 tons of ice without change in temperature: If this is the amount that the earth receives, think of the amount that must be passing off into space and other planets. This amount has been computed to be 2,200,000,000 times as great as that which the earth receives. .Scientists have shown that the amount of heat received by us from the sun may vary as much as five per cent. in less thatna week, d.ak for '1)2ittard's and take no other. e.1+_ Queer Titles of Books. Have you ever thought that writers may some day run out of titles for books? There is no need for alarm; there will be titles almost as long as there are stories—perhaps longer. Here are a few titles of books ,'pub- lished in Cromwell's time, and they are almost as odd as they are long: "Seven Sobs of a Sorrowful Soul for Sin; or, The Seven Penitential Psalms of the Princely Prophet David, whereunto are also added . William Humius' Handful of Honeysuckles, and Divers Godly and Pithy Ditties, now newly Augmented." ";A Sigh of Sorrow for the Sinners of Zion, breathed out of a Holo in the Wall of an earthly Vessel, known. among Men by the. Name of Samuel Fish (a Quaker who had been im- prisoned)." "Eggs of Charity, layed by the Chickens of the -Covenant,` and boiled with the Water of Divine Love. Take Ye and Eat." "A Shot aimed at the Devil's Head- quarters through theTube of the e Can - T non of the; Covenant." "Hooks and Eyes for Believers' Breeches." Rome became the capital of 'United Italy in 1870. TRAVEL BY FLOWERY WAYS. The are remanYbelievewho that all big corporations and industrial con- cerns only look to the material side of things and' work machine-iike for the production of wealth, regardless of the winter's snow and unheeding of the summer's bloom. This is often an erroneous idea, for it is generally realised that man does not altogether live by offices and pens and papers and engines and other accoutrements of—he requires trees and shrubs and flowers and the loveliness of natureiabor. • Tits Vanadiirn P^.elft Railway has always paid considerable attention to the development of garden plots along its lines. It is just thirty years ago sinea C.P.R. employee raised a few varieties of flower seeds in his own garden, and distributed them amongst his friends in the service of the corn-; pang, v:ith the object of promoting flower gardening at the various sta- tion plots of the railway. A vast ad- vanee lute been made since then; and now the company possesses a Floral Department with headquarters at Windsor Street Station, Montreal, and a Floral Committee which embraces members from the Eastern and We: -t- ern linea.. It is under the guidance of the: department that the various sta-; tion plots and other properties of the company are cleared up and beauti- fied. Thousands of packages of flower seeds, bulbs, trees, and shrubs, and 1 large quantities of grass seeds and fertilizers have been distributed dur- I ing the lastfew years to station agents, sedation foremen, caretakers of round houses, and all employees liv-e ing on the property of tate company. Travellers on the line observe the I happy results achieved. The cultiva- tion work is done in all cases by the employees themselves, who in most I cases acquired the art. of amateur gar- dening by taking their lessons from leaflets issued by the Floral Depart- ment. The hest material is always provided. Amongst the varieties of trees supplied are: lfapie, birch, beech, poplar and catalpa. Some of the shrubs are: weigelia, berberries, laurel leaf willow and sumac. Peren- nials distributed are: Oriental pop- pies, iris, phlox, veronica, gaillardia, larkspur, columbine, sweet wiiliam, and pinks. Bedding plants used in- clude: geraniums, coleus. cannas, pan- sies, asters, verbenas, petunias, and castor oil plants. Standard seed pack- ets sent out contain: Nasturtiums, alyssum, mignonette, sweet peas, phlox and lochia. � house Ferns s an d plants are given to the larger sta- tions. The establishment and main- tenance of the gardens and selection of the seeds, bulbs, and plants are supervised by Mr. B. M. Winnegar, forester of the company. The encouraging influence of flower growing on the C.P.R. during the last thirty years has in a large measure assisted in the inauguration of floral societies all over the country. There are; hundreds of C.P.R. officials con- nected with these societies, and most of then. received their first lesson in flower culture at the C.P.R. flower beds. Flowers have improved the railway stations, and inspired by the beauty of the stations, residents of the towns have planted flowers ands improved the appearances of their homes. - In every division of the C.P.R. prizes are. given every year for the best displays, and many of these ama- teur railway gardeners have tried their products with success against all comers at the big Canadian and American flower exhibitions. Better a little risk of frost after planting corn than a loot , of risk as the. crop approaches maturity.

The minister of a parish in Scotland was walking one misty night through a street in thevlla ge when he fell in- to a deep hole. After vainly trying to make his esoape front the uncom- fortable position, be began to shout for help. A laborer, passing, heard his cries and, looking down, asked who he was. The minister told him and at the same ttme et meed much agitation, The laborer, however. took the situa- tion in a very pltilisiphical manner anti reinarl.ed; "Wee!, steel, ye neefina kick up ale a noise. Yell no be needed afore Saaabath, an' this is only Wednesday nicht." He Understood. The aeroplane banked and looped and volplaned, and then climbed till almost beyond the gaze of the spec- tators. Then a gasp broke from the erowd. It was falling: Down. down it carte, over and over, twisting and swerving. until it appeared about to strike the earth. Then it suddenly righted, and Clew away. "Tia, ata!" laughed the aviator, "See that? Ninety per cent. of those people tbeught we were gtaiug to crash." "Well." said his passenger faintly, "fifty per cent. of the crew thought the :•ams:" Fate Was Against Him. "I guess I'm about the unluckiest fellow alive," asserted the lung, nar- row, mournful looking individnal. "What seems to be the trouble?" in- quired his sympathetic companion, or- dering something =soling for them both. "I'nm jest naturally unlucky—Fate's got it in for me. 1'l1 leave it to you if a guy deserves this kinder luck. A year ago I gits tired o' livin' in board - in' houses an' 1 ups an' gets married.

You were so solemn and so dark, 0 wood! I used to be afraid of you because I could not see where your dim foot- path hied. The crooked shadows w of the crooked haws Were witches bent on luring me inside. Away in there it seemed to me I saw A monstrous. cavern filled with grue- some things,— Black shapes that flitted weirdly while they made Their voices low in ghostly whisper- ings. My childish cry came running back afraid. But now your leaves are fallen, wood, I laugh To think how once I feared you. Now my eye. Can trace your footpath to the gold- en lea. Ah! will we find but dear familiar things In all we dread, dear God, when we can see?

How's This Cincirnati authority says corns dry up and lift out with fingers. 0 —o--t►—o-_o—o._p Hospital records show that every time you cut a corn you invite lock- jaw or blood poison, which is needless, says a Cincinnati authority', who tells you that a quarter ounce of a drug galled freezone can be obtained at Lit- tle cast from the drug store but is suf- ficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You simply apply a few drops of freezone on a tender, aching corn and, soreness is instantly relieved. Short- ly the entire corn can be lifted out, root and all, without pain. This drug is sticky but dries at once and is claimed to just shrivel up any corn without inflaming or even irri- tating the surrounding tissue or skin. If your wife wears high heels she will be glad to know of this. crane Paps Are relieved in na few days •s by taking 30 drops of Mother Seigel's Syrup aftermeals and on retiring.
