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, "So you'Ve loet 1.ereark rathatfeally to e "What time did ah can't tell," \efts let wateh with her • our n.eiv eervant d a lady sane - neighbor.

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 forthe victims of the volcauo 'dise asters 111 the Wet Queen Victoria, ivaceee charity wee franous could count one hundred and fifteen—not c,oanting private charities, of course; and, among liv- ing soverei•gns, the Czar comes next, • THOUGH HE IS LITTLE credited, with it. I3.otb. as Crown Prince and as Eniperor, be has founded eighty-four public charities and hospitals. The king's hospitals numberfourteen, and his yearly gifts to charities of all sorts now amount to $75,00U. Altogether, since his majority, he has given away over $5.0Q,000 of his private income, apart teem pri- vate donations which are not heard Of, As to bazaars, King Edwar,c1 has a Ilse of over seven betralred be- hind hinn • and theaverage number of dinners he presides over • every year, taking the last ten years, is thirty -throe or four.

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." Little ones thrive, are good n O- tured anal grow plump and rosy in 'homes where Baby's OW11 Tablets are ieeed.

For some time past it has been believed that a large aubterranean petroithen lake exists at Heatlefield, near Tan.bridge Wells, and it is new announced that an Arrterican syndi- cate has been formed for the purpose of workieg it. Eight shafts are to be sunk, and of these three are al- ready Made, while •a fourth le in progress, wed a depth of 850 feet has been reached With encouraging results, triceigh the swifts will pro- bably ba.ye to be sunk another 200 feet.

It is certainly unique to find an English Archbishop with a salary of $50,000 a ;year drawing a pension for tary services. 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 - Sone!" efr.

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 about 3,000 feet in length. The German mile to -day is 24,818 feet in length, more than four and a ball tines as long as ours.

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."
