From Nigeria comes news of a disaster which reminds the public at home in vivid fashion of the perils that beset the pioneere of Empire-perils quick with romance that eften becomes tragedy. In this case a message from Znageru (via Lages), nariced by Reuter recently states that Lient D.

The other Europeus our visitors, we really managed to hold our own besides the resident were probably police with the South Africans. And the present political officers, season finde us in a state of nervous trepidation as to the prospectsof success in our forthcoming encounters with Australia.
In the imaginary lists of a representative English eleven supplied by gentlemen who hare time to waste in this direction the same unmer ocour over and over again with which the cricketing public has been familiar for at least a dozen years past, while the names of younger candidates for distinction have been rather hinted at thun baldly suggested. Nor do we seem to reap, much encouragement from studying the history of our last campaign ia Austrália, when our players were seat out to conquer and left the "ushes" be hind them. "They had abominably bad luck, someone will say. But good lack may alnost be called an essential attribute of the mo
cessful cricketor as well as of the successfui general. No matter how many chances a man give in the course of a series of long innings if he is in the habit of winning watches for his side he must be written down good cricketer. For contre, no matter how perfect the style of the man who continually fails to score we cannot afford to keep him in the eleven in the bare hope that his lack will turn.
HOLDING TO THE VETERANS. While the Australians are introducing to as several young players who are visiting England for the first time in their career, we seem likely to be reduced to the necessity of warshalling to oppose them the same old gang who done yeoman service for many years past. Mr. MacLaran, Hayward. Fry, Hirst, Tyldesley, those are great names to conjure with, but we cannot really expect to continue to conjure with them ad infinitum. Thirty years ago that prophet would have been laughed to scorn who vantured to suggest that a day would come when England would be represented in a Test match by un doron whoso ages averaged more than thirty years.

The Guari people are described as difficult and truculeat, and it is supposed that, as often happons, they were hostile to the new chief, presumably a Government nominee, who was to be installed probably on account of the removal of his predecessor for some offence, Kata, somewhat larger town, to which Major Williams has been despatched from Zungern with a large force, is some two days' march from the capital, and close to the scope of the ambaab. There is ample force on the sport to restore order, anil it is stated that there is no probability of the trouble spreading. That no hostility was ox posted is avilent by the fact that there were no military officers with Lleutenant Varrenen'sparty, Liont Donald Adrian Varrenen, formerly of the Manchester Regiment, was one of the 78 assistant residents who are employed in Northairn Nigeria, where he was appointed in 1906, He served through the South African war, being presout at the operations in Nutal, to July, 1900, and afterwards in the Transvaal and Orange Eirer Colony to May, 1902.

Its axes is from 400,00) to 500,000 square railes, and it has a population roughly estimated at between 30,00,000 and 40,000,000. It was constituted a British Pro tectorate on January 1, 1900, and Lágos, prie. tically the chief town, was added in 1906. The district was taken over from the Royal Niger Company sud the Niger Coast Protectoratu, and it extends from the Gulf of Guines se far as Lake Chad. The whole area is situated in the earth's region of greatest heat, and if abounds in swamps and forests, sud few Europeans can live anywhere in the interor, though in the north it is comparatively healthy. From a commer cal point of view the district is immensely valuable. In the north there are great agricul. tural resources. The products there comprise cotton, indigo, hides, rubber, isory, and minerals (silver, tin, and lead). In the south the chief products are palm oil and kernels, rabber, ivory indigo, guns, coffee, and hides. The principal imports are cotton and spirits.

At the Loudon (Royal Free Hospital) School of Medicine for Women Sir Patrick Manson began a course of lestures on Tropical Discases." He said that at first sight it seemed singular that disasses caused by germs should be more or less capriciously distributed over the earth, that different diseases should be preva lent in tropical Africa and in temperate climes, and this fact was difficult to reconcile with the bacterial theory, since the fluids of the body of different races, regarded as enttare media, were practically the same.

Perhaps W. D. Howells is the most notable example of the latter. Ed. mand Clarence Stedman died last year and Thomas Bailey ldrich in 1909.
Edward Everett Hale was born in 1822 of the stock that produced Nathan Hale, hanged as a spy in the revelation, who is credited with the patriotic saying that his only regret was that he had but one life to give for his country. Throughout his long career as author, clergy- wean and philanthropist the late Chaplain Hals sturdily lived the words of his dying namesake.
He was educated in his native city, Boston. beg.uning with the celebrated Latin School. He graduated from Harvard in 1939 and forty years later received an honorary degree from that institution, Hale began hia ministry as a Unitarias pastor in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1946. After four years in
bis first pastorate he removed to Boston and has dince been interested in all the philanthropis movements of that city and of the nation at large. Since 1856 Dr. Hale has been pastor of the South Congregational (now Unitarian) Church of Boston.
