The reoort of Um Royal Com-
m/Salon, -which was appointed in
e'une, 1900, to inquire into the &d-
adaist:ration af the Port of Lon-
don, has euet been isstued in a Blae
Book, As the report, eigned by
all the astembere of the commission,
ite recommendations are likely to be
adopted by Parliament, and iu that
event, the facilities, for the foreign
trade of the Britieh metropolis will
be materially -improved. About the
meeeseity of prompt action in the
matter there is no doubt. It is true
that the Port of London is still, as
it has been for at least two hundred
yearee the greatest entropot in the
world in respect to the amount of
shipping and of goods which enter
it. Yet, while statistics! show . a
continded growth in the volume of
trade, the rate of increase has not
b en so rapid in recent years as it
was in former tinees. While, for in-
stance, in the deoe,cle ending 1879
the increase of tonnage of shipping
entered wed cleared with merge, (fo-
reign trade) was 43 per cent., it
was only 26 per centin the decade
ending 1899. Moreover, the increase
is not only relatively but absolutely
eanaller than that observed in cer-
tain continental ports Thus, while
the tonnage entering. London between
1890 and 1899 increased by only 2,-
246,773 tons, that entering Antwerp
in the same period increased by
2,324,465 tons ; Hamburg's
conuneree by 2,563,125 tons, and
that of Rotterdam by 8,404,647
-teas. As these -three ports started
from a much lower figure, their rate
of increase is, of coarse, very much
greater *than London's.
The cattees of tho relative decline
of London's coannerecea a 'decline, es-
pecially conspicuous in the re-export
trade, are, first, the relative unfit-
ness of -the Thames for the recep-
tion of large ships, and, secondly,
the greater delays and expenses in-
cfclent to the deliveries of cargoes.
It is pointed out T5y the Conemis-
sioners that the. large ship is the
economical ship, and that, conse-
quently, we must expect to see mach
larger ships built in the future. The
Thames must be adapted to such
vessels, otherwise Hamburg and
Rotterdam will not only take from.
London what remains of the general
re-export traide, but will actually
receive much of the foreign and co-
lonial produce hitherto sent to Lon-
don and intended for transshipment
to Yorkshire and. Scotland. The
profits of the transshipping opera-
tion will thus accrue to them foreign
=top ots.
The aonclusiaa drawn from. the
facts recited is, that if London is to
hold its place of primacy as a port,
there is urgent necessity for spend-
ing a large sum of money in a sys-
tematic manner upon the improve-
ment of the river channel and the
docks, in order to meet the revolu-
tion in the dimensions of ahips and
cargoes. It is computed that $12,-
500,000 ought to be expended with-
in ten years on the deepening and
widening of the channel of the
Thames, and that a further sum of
$22,500,000 ehould be laid out in
improving the present dos dad in
conetructing new ones. To this end
it is peoposed to create a new cen-
tral authority for the Port of Lon-
cfon, which shall be empowered to
purchase the existiag docks, and to
exercise all the powers now vested
in various boards, and, finally, to
raise a revenue by means of harbor
,d,ues stanch:art to.defray the interest
of the cost of the contempleted im-
provements.
If the raea,eures unanimously re-
commended by the Royal Connnise
Sian are emboiclied in legislation, we
may expect to see the Port of Lon-
don recover by the close of the next
decade the prosperity which it en-
joyed twenty, years ago. About the
natural advantages of the port there
can be no dispute. Aniong these aro
its geographical position, the magni-
tilde, the wealth and energy of the
population leamediately behin;d it,
the fine approach from the sea, the
river tides', which are strong en-
ough to transport traffic easily to
all parts of the port, yet not so
.violent as to make navigation difll-
teat; and, finally, the existence of
land along the slhores of a charae-
ter suitable for doe& constraction
ancl all 4ommea•cia1 purpthes Tile
present deficiencies of London, from
the viewpoint of satiaborrie com-
merce, are not dile. to any natural
disadvantages, but to causes Which
nuey be removed by a better organ-
izatioit of administrative and fin-
ancial poWere. /t will be the fault
of Parliament, and not of the Royal
Comaniseion, if the welfare of the
Port of Landau 6411 be permanent-
ly enjured,

RECORDS' THE KIN HOLM
HE BEATS ALL SOVEREIGNS
OR OFFICIALS. •
Colon.el of Eleven Regimeetts.-4
Splendid Shot.—Master of .
Yacht Racing.
King Edward holde 'art easy re-
cord against all sovereigns or offi-
cials', living or dead, for • inilita,ry
honors, reviews, and practioal cern-
mantis.
He is colonel Of eleven regiments,—
apart fr,ora his office as field-rear-
shal—commancling two German regi-
ments, one Rusetian, one Italian, and
the corps of Greek Guards. All
thes.e regiments he ha,s reviewed in
person, and since his twenty-first
year he has held four hundred and
fifty reviews, as against the ICaiser's
two hundred odd, and his various
regiments give him comm.and over
12,000 rasa, not counting
THE TROOPS.
The Kaiser is gtherally supposed
to have done more army wont than,
any other living monarch:, but M is
a bad ,second to King Edward, hold-
ing- command over seven regiments,
three of "them foreign ; and the
Cpar ranks behind both.
The King has also the record for
quick ehooting, against all comers
of any nation, at birds on 1.110 Wing
or running game. There are plenty
who have made bigger bags, for he
does not ear° for piling up tile slain
against time,' preferring to shoot
quietly, and kill leis game in good
style. But in actual shooting he
holds the record with a, feat he often
performs—that of neatly brining
down six. partridges with six separate
Sleets, out of a single covey. Mese
shots are all delivered within as
'nanny seconds, each bird being pick-
ed out from the earth bunch, flying
at a good fifty miles, an hoar. This
is far more difficult shooting than
walking the bads up and killing
them as they rise., for they are pot
up at a distance, and • come past,
like a Dash of lightning. The King's
method . is to "dare'. two of the
birds . .
AS 'ITIEY APPROACH Hale!,
take a second gun from kis loader,
and 'snap two 1110re as theypares
overhead, and a third brace are
killed with a third gun before they
can get out of range. This is won-
derful shooting. requiring absolute
precision and lightning -like handling
of the gun; and, though neatly creek
shots can kill four, and one or two
five, birds in this way, no one but
the King can grass" six. •
Another record King Edward holds
is that of yacht -racing, in Wheal he
stands easily at the top of the tree,
having won more prizes and made a
better average than any past or pre-
sent eracatsraan, wilethea royal,
noble, or commoner. His vessel—the
"Britannia"—has taken aver two
hundred prizes and °ups all round
the British waste, amounting to a
money value of over $60,000 or
'$4,000 in value and twenty-three in
number above any other yacht's re-
cord. The "Britannia" would pro-
bably have won the America Cup,
too, if she ha,d bean sent over, for
she used to easily beat the chile-
lenger "Valkyrie ILL" before that
vessel
WENT OUT TO BE BEATEN.
only by a very( little, by the Ameri-
can yacht "Defender." And in.
practical seamanship the King holds
a record, for he is the only monarch
who can steer a large yacht in a
workmanlike =water.
A laborious reeord that must be
set down to the King is the laying
of two. hundred and eourteen them. -
dation stones and "first pieces" o1.
bridges and railways since' he came
of age. Each of these was a long,
and generally a rather cere-
mony, taking about a couple of
hours, including the, receptions and
reading of ,addreeses. 'Here again,
the ICaiser comes second, having
laid one hundred and twenty odd,
including ,Jiis own palaces and coun-
try houses, which, when he has a
new one; he always inaugurates him-
self. lent the King bents the Kais-
er by ninety-four.
A. still finer record than this, and
one that stands sae" ahead of any
rival, is the founding of cme hun-
dred and sixty public charities and
funds, from the New. Sailors' Nome,
in 1849, 'down to the Relief Fend

HANGING PAPER.
The Latest Thing in Automatic
'Machinery.
The latest thing in. the way of
automatic machinery is the paper-
hanger. It is claimed, for this ma -
thine that it will perform the wcirk
ti. math' More rapid and easy
manner than' • the old method of
spreading the paper on a table, cut-
ting it into stripe oi1 the proper
lenth, applying the paste, and final-
ly plating it in popition on the wall.
According to the inventor, about
all the operator of this apparatus
has to do is , to turn the crank,
and place the machine in. a new pos-
ition after each piece of paper is at-
tached to the wall. The paper is
placed in, the machine in a single
roll, and is . automatically cut 'to
the proper length, paste applied, an'cl
the paper put on. the wall, while the
oPeratar is doing nothing but re-
volvitag the wheels, by morals of the
crank.
The invention consists of a car-
riage arranged to trav-el on a -ver-
tical track, and carrying a roll of
paper, a paste -holder, a rotary
paste -brush, pressure ,brushes, and. a
knife for severing the .paper at the
proper moment, The roll of paper
in unwinding is Made to come in
conjunction , with the paste -carrying
brush, passing thence to the wall.
The turning of the crank causes
the supporting carriage to rise in
its toothed guides, 'carrying the
pressure brushes across the paper as
fast, as it is put in position. When
the top of the room is reached, the
stoppage of the carriage is utilized
td make the long knife -blade sever
the paper.
The 'carriage is then pulled 'down
by means of the chains, and the sup-
porting, flea= moved along to the
next poeition on the Boor. More
time is. occupied in placing the xna-
chine in position than in applying
each section ofthe paper; but even
this is a short operation, owing to
the guides which are supplied for
!the purpose.
HOT WEATHER AILMENTS.
Careful Mothers Should Keep at
Hand the Means' to Cheek Ail-
ments That Otherwise May
Prove Fatal.
When the weather is hot the sands
of the little life are apt to glide
away before you know it. You
can't watch the little one too care-
fully at this period: Dysentery,
diarrhoea., cholera infantum and
disorders of the stomach are alaten-
ingly frequent during the hot moist
weather of ,the• euminer montes. At
the first sign of any of these, or any
of the other ailments that afflict lite
tle Ones, give Baby's Own Tablets.
Theee Tablets will speedily. relieve
medpromptly cure all hot weather
ailments.. ICeep them in the house-
-their prompt use may save a pre-
cious little life. Mrs. Herbert Burn-
ham, Srnith'e Falls, Ont., says :-
"When my eldest,' child was six
weeks old he had an attack of chol-
era infazetum and was at death's
door. My doctor advised me to use
Baby's Own. Tablets, and in twenty-
four hours baby was better; the.
vomiting and purging ceased and he
regaineid etrength rapidly-. I have
used the Tabletsfor other ailments
of ehildren since and always icate
the happiest results. I can sincerely
recommend them to mothers as a
medicine that' should always be kept
in the..house."

ENGLISH -PETROLEUM LAKE.
For some time past it has been

The Czar has a larger aumber of
physicians in attendance than any
other Sovereign in the world. There
are no fewer than twentty-four, and,
needless to add, they are selected
from the most celebrated doctors of
Russia. There is first a physician -
in -chief; then come ten honorary phy-
sicians and four honorary surgeons,
two oculists, a chieopodist, and all
honorary chiropodist, two Court
physicians, and three specialiets for
the °zee -Ina.
News comes from Llangollea of
the death of George Tonekins,
one tirae locally known. as the
•"millionaire." Arriving from
tish Columbia some tea years ago
with the reputa.tion of immense
wealth, he maintained an expensive
establishment. Eccentric in habit,
he wheeled about his thildren in a
perambulator, their tiny fingers cov-
ered with costly rings. Gradually
his wealth vanished, and shortly be-
fore his death he was selling or-
anges and matches ia the streets.
Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman
has been credited with beieg .able to
sleep as easily in a standing position
as he can lying down. Said the
Duke of Devonshire to him on one
occasion: "You are like a police-
man, Bannerntane you am always
sleep standing up." .An equally
curious habit is that of Lord Roth-
schild, who confesses that M can
sleep better in a, theatre during the
performance than he can at any oth-
er time or place.
A remarkable story is being told
about M. Gaptier, the famous Paris
sculptor, whose tragic death took
place recently. He wanted a model
whose feet were perfect for his sta-
tue of ' "Venus,"reed experienced
great difficulty in getting one. • When
he did succeed in this he found that
the lady could not sit foi:. him, as
she was engaged at. other studios.
She, however, offered to have her
feet cut off if M. Captier would buy
an annuity for her aged mother.
Needless to say, the sculptor lead to
refuse this offer, much to the ap-
parent regret of the plucky model.
On one occasion the Bishop of
Norwich had a somewbat ludicrous
experience of the cool inmerturba,bil-
ity of some young ladiee. Passing
a. cottage the Bishop was stopped
by a voice from. the garden asking
him to open the gate. He did so,
and to his surprise, instead of the
tiny mite he expected to see, there
stepped forth a, girl quite big- en-
ough to have opened the gate her-
self. The girl's reply to Dr. Sheep -
shank's query as to why she had
not opened the gate herself was:
"Please, sir, because the paent's
wet!" On glancing at leis hand the
Bishop saw only too plainly the
truth of her statement.
Major-General Sir Frederick Gold-
smid, now an. old man of eighty-,
four, when superintending the con-
struction of a telegraph line many
years ago, successfully solved a
pute which threatened to assume in-
ternational importance. Between
the frontiers of Turkey and Persia,
there was a tract of land see-enteen
miles wide which each. country claim-
ed. The engineering stores of the
two „countries differed, Turkey hav-
ing wooden poles mut Persia iron
ones, and consequently each disput-
ing coantry would not consent to
the other's poles being erected on
the territory in question. This deli-
cate matter inight Neve caused a.
serious, dela.y to an. important lino,
but Sir Frederick got out of the
ficulty by erecting over the disputed
territory iron and wooden poles al-
ternately all the way across.
Sir Wilfrid Lawson tells a, good
story, and often he is himeelf the
hero of if. At a recent Veto Ilill
demonstration in Essex, Sir
frid, acknowledging a, vote of
thanks, remarked that aomebody had
said he was "venerable," and some-
body oleo that he was "gallant."
The one term had something; cleateal
a,bout it and the other something
military, but neither the one ear the
other was anything in his Line. "I
will tell you," contenued Sir
frid, "what I am. There was a,
school in the noi•th. of Eagland, and
the master gave the children a long
disquisition upon the steam. engine,
and when he thotight they all un-
derstood he asked: 'What is it
that does the Werk of forty horSes
and drinks nothing but water?' and
they called out, "Sir Wilfrid Law -

In an Irish town the lads di , a
school aequired the habit ref smok-

genious methods to conceal the
habit froni the master. In this they
were successrula until one evening,
when the mese& caught them puffing
most vigerously.
"How now ?" shouted he to one
of the eulprits. "How dare you be

"Sir," said the boy, "I am •sub-

"And you ? And you ?" inquired
the pedagogue, questioning every

LONG AND SHORT MILES.
Eeglish-speaking countries have
four different miles : the ordinary
mile of 5,28Q feet and the geo-
graphical mile of 6,085 feet, making,
a difference of about one-seventh be-
tween the two; then there are the
Scotch mile of 5,928 feet, and the
Irish mile of 6,72Q feet—four va-
rious miles, every one of which is
still in uee. Then almost every
country has its own standard mile.
The Romans had their mil pessaum,
1,000 paces, wilich must have been

FROM DEATH'S DOOR,
AN OTTAWA MAN'S WONDER
FULLY NARROW ESCAPE.
He Was in Convulsions and • the

Ottawa, Ont., July 28.—(Special)
—At 309 Gilmore St., this city,
there resides a. man who has been
nearer the hour and article of death
than anyone who has been priyileg-
eel to live to tall the story.
He is Mr. George n. Kent, a'
printer in the employ of the Bank
Not Company of Wellington St.
Soine seven or eight years ago Mr.
Kent was seized with Bright's 'Dis-
ease which gradually paw worse
till he had to quit work and was
c,onfined to his bed where he remain-,
ed for some months.
Phyaicians were in constant atteme
anee upon him, but iustead of im-
proving he gradually grew Woree
and worse.
At last he became so low that his
body became terribly bloated and
his skin like tanned leather. had
convulsions, which increased in Ire-
queney and the intet.yes between
these spasms found him so weak
that he was barely coast:lieu:a
One night after a. particularly bad
spell the physicians told his wife
that he could not live eill morning.
A messenger was deepetched for a
boa of Doeld's Kidney Pills which
were immediately brought to the
dying man.
Mr.' Kent did not die, On the con -
teary in about two mouths he wee
at work again. in the ehop and has
not since been off work for a singa
day.
Mr. and Mrs. Kent aro naturally
very grateful and as a raark of their
gratitude have called a sweet little
girl born to them some two years
after Mr. kent's remarkable recovery
by the name of "Edna Dodelsj' Kent.
Mr. Kent has, made a sworn state-
ment reciting the details of his case
and his cure.

DONE AGAIN.
One day recently, soon after the
hour of noon, an individual, who
seemed to be laboring under con-
siderable excitement, entered a gro-
cer's shop and asked for a private
word with the proprietor. When the
request had been granted he ex-
claimed :—
"I believe I am being swindled,
and to verify my suspicions I want
to watch a house in tho next street.
This I Can only do froni the rear of
your shop. Have you any objeetion
to neer taken,: a seat at the back,
there, by the open. window ?"
The grocer granted the favor, and
the agitated' stranger walked to the
back and took a Seat on a box of
soap, and began to watch.
His presence had been almost for-
gotten, when he return.ed to the
front of the shop with hasty steps,
and said :—
"Ha ! I'll have him arrested 1
Yes, I'll make hini pay for his im-
pudence 1"
"Your clerk ?"
''Yes, my confidential man. I
cannot doubt his guilt, and I shall
have him wrested at once."
The grocer tried to detain him ;
but he broke away and rushed round
the corner. Not hearing anything
feather of him for half an hour, the
grocer began to investigate, and he
discovered that fourteen rolls of but-
ter, a s,kin of lard, two hams, and
other articles had left the back end
of the shop by way of the window
at which the watchful "employer"
had been stationed, and into the
hands of the faithless "clerk."

nursed by his wife, who was very
devoted to him in spite of his fault

caused her to burst into tears some-
times as she sat at his bedside.
One day a friend Of the invalid
came in., and asked him how he was
getting .on.
"Badly, badly 1" he exclaimed ;
"and it's all my WES'S fault."
"Is it possible ?" asked the friend
in surprise.
"Yes. The doctor told me that

to posterity or my creditors ?"
