To Sterilise Mille,
Thirty-nine lepers recently were
put to death in an Omelette manner
by order of the provincial authori-
ties at Nanning, Province of
Kwang Si, China. The sufferers
from the dread disease first were
shot and then their bodies were
burned in a ,huge trench.
These advices were received in a
letter £roan the Catholic mission at
Nanning, The letters stated that
the lepers lived in the woods a few
mile outside tof the City of Nan-
ning. The mission sought permis-
sion to build at its own expense a
lazarette for them, and the provin-
cial authorities, pretending to con-
sent, dug a pit in which was placed
wood soaked with kerosene.
At the point of the bayonet the
lepers then were driven into the
pit and shot and the pyre was
lighted and their bodies burned in
the presence of a large crowd. The
authorities offered rewards for elle
discovery of other lepers, and this
offer resulted in 'the sheeting of
one more man affiioted with the dis-
ease.
The Governor after the massacre
issued a proclamation, in which he
accused the lepers el having com-
mitted outrages. The letters from
the mission say )there is no founda-
bion for this charge.

"WANT OF WORK."
Tite Supply of Labor Is Everywhere
the Same.•
We talk about the supply of la-
bor, and the demand Inc labor, but,
evidently, these are only relative
terms, The supply of labor is
everywhere the same—two hands
always come into the world with
one mouth, twenty-one boys to
every twenty girls; and the demand
Inc labor-mu•st always exist as long
es men want things which labor
alone can procure. We talk about
the "want of work," but, evidently
it is not work that is short while
want continues; evidently, the sup-
ply of labor cannot be too great,
nor the demand for labor too small,
when people suffer for the lack of
things that labor produces. The
real teonble must be that the sup-
ply is •somehow prevented from sat-

there is an obstacle which prevents
labor from producing the things
that laborers want.

WILLIAM THE PEACE -LOVER.
Pursues a Constant and Determined
Pacific Police.
When William II. ascended the
German throne, Europe expected
nothing loss than to see a new Bar-
barossa burst into the arena of
European politics, writ's G. Fer-
rero, in the Atlantic. Strange le-
gends were current about him:
some said he had, sworn never to
drink a glass of champagne until
Champagne should be annexed to
the German Empire; others, that
this one ambition was to cover his
name with glory, and that his war-
like aspirations were boundless.
This was common talk, and the
newspapers of the day printed it.
Twenty-four years later the em-
peror could boast, as he did not
long ago to a French friend of mine,
alluding to the Morocco incident
and the crisis of 1905, "History will
recognize that Europe ewes her
peace to me." And history will,
doubtless, recognize this pacific dis-
position of his in the future More
than his people do now. For the
last low years the German emper-
or has not been eo popular as he
was during the first ten years of
reign. The reasons would be too
many to give here, but one is his
constant and determined pacific,
policy. He has invariably tried to
reconcile himself with France ra-
ther than to seek occasion for an-
other war. On this account a por-
tion of his people accuse hire of lov-
ing peace overmuch and, therefore,
of following a weak and vacillating
policy, letting slip opportunities
which might never present them-
selves again,

Quite lately, it has been suggest-
ed by many that the Grand Duchess
Olga of Iia sia may prove to be the
future Princess of Wales. In any
case, it seems quite likely that the
Prince's choice will ultimately fall
on one of the Tear's four daughter's,
By the way, it is continually being
asserted that it is impossible for the
Prince to wed an English Princess,
Whys There would seem to be no
reason whatever, should the
Prince so choose, why he should
not marry one of the charming
daughters of the Princess Royal.
There are the Princesses Victoria
and Helena of Teck, too. The
Duchess of Fife would, perhaps, be
best suited to Inc Princess of Wales,
but she is more than three years
older than the Prince. Prtuceas
Maud, bowever, is only one year
and two; months older than his Roy-
al Highness. Princess Maud is, oft
course, the Prince's first; cousin,
and that is often used as an argu-
ment against the alliance; but in
any case it is more then probable
' that he will marry some one related
to him.
It is said, at the time of the
Prince's recent visit to Paris, that
r the Kaiser was very disappointed
that Berlin was not the city chosen
for the Prince's first continental
stay. It is well known that the
Kaiser send the Itaiserin weuld like
nothing better than for the Prince
to marry their daughter,
The Princess Luise.
The princess is two Scars older
than the Prince of Wales. So far
there ser no grounds for volieving
that such a marriage wil take place.
And what ef the Prince himself!
tTp to the present Inc has given lio
opinions on this important matter.
In feet, he does net seem to hate
given the subject a moment's
thought, as, of carse, directly he
evinced a disposition to say upon
whore bis choice would be likely to
fall, there would immediately arise
a great discussion as tea the merits
and demerits of his union with the
lady, whoever she might be.
Speculation is listless. Soon it
will be the Prince's duty to look
around and decide for himself. It
is sincerely to be hoped that he will
choose for himself and not leave the.
matter in the hands of others. May
his ultimate choice be a happy one.
