M.Lockroy, an ex-French Minister of Mariae, in an interview which has appeared in the Patrie, expressed the, opinion that within the next two years, wat would certainly break out between France and England.

THE LEPER QUESTION IN NETHERLANDS INDIA.
The Java Government has ordered fists of lepera to be made out in all the towns, villages,
and districts of that. island. Directions are
given to the authorities to compel all lepers to
live in isolation. Measures are to be taken to forbid lepers from following any calling or practising anything likely to convey contagion among the public. The head of the Medical Department in Java gees further and advises that lepers should be compelled to live in special asylums established by Government, if they will in conduct themselves so as not to be sources of danger to the public health. The Government shrank from such an extretne measure, and decided not to take it unless the disease becoutes more virulent,
MR, KIPLING AND THE HAMS.
On the voyage of the Kinjauns Castle to the Cape, some questions were set for ladies. One was, "How inany, hans have twenty pigs? The answer was given as 8o. The judges ac- cepted this reply as correct, consequently there was much controversy. It was even suggested that the butcher should be called!' But the judges' derision was final. Rudyard Kipling wrote the following verses to pacify the discon solate ladies'
All things were made in seven days
By Gal the great, Designer; He gave each pig two hams apiece,
Save on a Castle Liner.

“A DANGER TOO HORRIBLE TO CONTEMPLATE,"
In the course of a very interesting letter to the London Morning. Påst of 7th March, Ad- niral F. H. Close calls attention to what be styles a danger too horrible to contemplate," Ang as it is a matter that may well receive con sideration at the bands of the load branch af
the Navy League we give the gelast Admiral's letfer in extenso :--
Editar Morning Post
whose brain power has never been exercised. Mr. Goschen as an experienced business man first established the Royal Naval Volunteers. They were disbanded by the verdict of a so- called departmental committee, packed with merchants captain (officers of the Royal Nave! Reserve), as no coininittee of experienced naval officers would have given a verdict against naval Volunteers, all agreeing that they could be made good use of in time of war, in the coast guard, or as a last reserve, and so set free the regular forces of the Navy for service afloat. From the last naval report in Parliament it is very evident that the new rule, making the Royal Naval Reserve serve six months afloat on board her Majesty's ships, has blocked their recruiting, showing that these men, will take our money and go through a short drill in a battery, but real service afloat is not acceptable, even when gilded with a position. The disappearance of the Royal Naval Reserve men at the last Russian scare should surely be a warning not! to put too many eggs in one basket. Is our existence as a nation to depend on a force that has been tried and failed? Is it not safer to have a second string to our bow? Therefore, I say, make more certain of being able to man our ships by reestablishing the naval Volunteers, having regard to the First Sea Lord's words to me on the disbanding of the force. If all the Volunteer Naval Brigades throughout the country had been like the Bris tol Brigade, which was always commanded by naval officers, they would not have been dis banded. Our existence as a nation depends on the Navy, and that existence we are placing in the hands of an uncertain force, called the Royal Naval Reserve, without whose assistance we cannot now man our ships. The danger is too horrible to contemplate. Military mistakes can be mended in the of war-naval never,

Sir, The military Volunteers have saved cur defensive situation at houre. What assur ance bave we that the want of naval Volunteers. will not imperil our naval defense in some future war The Royal Naval Reserve cannot be compared as a reliable force with that of the military reserve, as, stated in the House, for the formerare an uncertain quantity, hereto day and off to-morrow in some merchant ship or fishing boat, whereas the military reservists have afixedresi dance in the United Kindom.

RUSSIAN MACHINATIONS. According to a telegram that has reached the Cologne Gazette from Constantinople, official circles in the Turkish capital are greatly disquieted by the rumour that Russia is inciting Bulgaria against Turkey. Officials in high positions give full credence to the story, and they assert that they are convinced that the Port of Burghas will shortly be ceded to Russia. The cession of this important port would leave the road open to Constantinople, which would be at the mercy of the first de main that might be attempted.co
Europeans at Constantinople, with a know- ledge of the whole situation, state that the general demeanour and conduct of Russian officials lead them to conclude that there is something of more than ordinary importance
