A remarkable illustration of the linguistic ability of the Royal Navy was afforded when the delegates of the International Postal Congress visited Portsmouth dockyard "receat- ly. The delegates represented many countries, and for the success of the
sightseeing tour was neceauTÝ that a corps of interpreters should be provided to the party.

Paying the Doctor,
The Medical Society of Chicago has decided to introduce the instal- ment payment plan for the benefit of its poorer patients and, follow- ing the example of other industries, will enlist the aid of a discounting corporation.

Labou? Troubles in Australia.
Mr Bruce, the Australian Prime Minister, speaking at a public meeting in Adelaide, said that the trade unions with their present leaders would not accept the Arbitration Court awards. An in- terrupter shouted out that the basis of the awarda was absolutely rotten.

promote international friendship among boys. No more method could have been ebosen. "B.P." has been a soldier, but is far from being a militarist; his whole work with the Scout move. ment has been opposed to mili- tarism; his one aim has been to make boys friendly and helpful to one another. In the great Jam- borees such as that now being held in England B.P." sees the fruits of his labours-boys of all nations camping happily together and set- ting a good example to the vast majority of their elders in sinking race prejudices. Mr. Schiff's gen erous gift to the Chief Scout will make it possible to achieve much more good work in this direction, and than "B.P." there is, no mar better qualified to undertake the

Professor Robert E. Rogers,' of the English Department of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, has stirred up a lively con troversy by an address delivered in Boston to the graduating class of the institute, in which he advocated
snobbishness'
among university men in the United States in order that there should be created a raling aristocracy of educated men who would wrest control of the nation from the politician," the bootlegger, and "the man who came up from one suspender button." He said:"Be a snob. You have got to make up your minds that you are superior people. Get the better" jobs and money to finance things that are worth while. Belong with the people who belong instead of with the people who do not belong. You cannot go on the assumption that you are as good as the rest of folks; you should take the attitude. that you are a sight.better. Found a family that will be successful. It is just as easy to marry the boss's daughter as his typiat." Professor Rogers also declared that Americans are the worst-served people in the world. Their servants, both public and private, are incompetent, bad- mannered, and "grouchy." His remarks have been followed by a flood of protests and criticisms Mr. Carley, a former Mayor of Roston, for instance, attacks him for advocating a doctrine against which Americans fought a revolu tionary war-the divine right of in- dividuals to constitute themselves a ruling class.

Looking Back 25 Years.
At this time of the year one sees the New Territory at its best. The mountains are green to their crests and the valleys are smiling with crops, ranging in colour from green to yellow. A curious thing to observe is the way in which the work of husbandry goes on; with- in the same acre of land one can see planting, reaping, and thresh- ing
proceeding rimultaneously, while in contiguous plots the de licate young paddy is just showing above ground, the half-grown crop ig waving lustily, and the fully ripened grain hangs heavily wait- ing for the sickle. Everybody is just planting or garnering, and the yoked oxen have to work from dawn till sunset. The Chinese, by the way, apparently do not agree with the injunction against muzz)- ing the ox that treadeth out the corn, for every draught animal to be seen is furnished with a muzzle- that effectually preventa it from snatching a chance mouthful of the luscious young growth.-Hong Kong Daily Prèn, Aug. 3, 1904.

There are many Portuguese book-keepers here who, if entrusted with the work, full reliance may be placed on them, as they would. fully go into the matter, and the task given them would be perform- ed to the satisfaction of ill, those concerned. They are unfortunately as a class of men badly paid, and these extras would in a great way. benefit them. This much I can say: also, and to which I have been a witness, that some auditors do not. even ask for the cash and other vouchers to compare with the en- tries! Others do not even see the books.
