An imperial astion is a nation hiali stands to its subject regea the position of a utastar to a slave, And this position is one which necessarily degrade and dabases the moral nature of the masters. India has been for a baadred years a millstone hang round the nook of Eugland's conscisco, perpetually dragging it downward, and graven ting it from attaining that fall and from develop ment which industrialism fosters. It has been s Donstant field for the display of aggressive in- stiuota, a school of militarisur, of preistory tostos, of organised brutality." Looking at future contingencies, Mr. Allen declares that, whether Ensels gats India or not, we at least may be glad whenever we can get out of it. It lie a responsibility'beavier than we can beer.”

A Zanzibar correspondent of the Austrium Monatsschrift for the East gontributes some usa- fal notes on the traño sad industry st that place. The chief industry is the manufacture of docos- nat dil, and much of this is carried on by means of rade native presses. Although these are very primitiva and much of the oil is lost, yet on ac opant of the cheaptess of the unts, the industry is very proftable, and the quality of the oil wonderfully good. A French house had set up a hydraulio preas for the work, but it was pulled down and another improved otio put in its place, which promises to be very successful... Several sesama presses have also been set up. Suger is an article which every day rises in importance, and may in a short time be exported in great quantity. At present there are six or eight factories, in whict only molasses is mostly pro. draad Recently, however, the Sultan has ob-aromdlər yara tained the waterials for
