nacdouald said and as the great ones ot this earth passed in their dazzllug and gorgeous uniforms a man ot peculiarly striking distinction appeared and i asked who he was i was told he was lord dawson his dignity seemed to indicate that he had been horn there after the feast was over this man in au extraordin arily familiar sort of way held out his baud and asked have you for gotten nie when i told him that i did not think we had ever met before he re minded me that under this great cloak of dignity title and circumstance was a man whom i once knew as a med ical student the last time we had met before that occasion we had is sued into cower street towards mid night after a most respectable supper we were going the same way up to the north of loudon looking at each other ho said to rae how

station after mid night after all your skill and all your forethought and all your capacity to forecast what is going to happen if you had been a third that night over 40 years- ago could you whatever your condition have said to both of us gentlemen you will bid each other goodnight tonight at the comer of holloway station and it will be your fate not to meet again until you are invited as guests of his majesty to partake of his hospitality at bucking ham palace the prime minister did not go on comments the evening standard as he might have done to draw the moral of this really remarkable remin- a i2icivo iscence that there is much to be said oumilcss for the social system in which such a thing caii happen perhaps we have not realized to the full the ideal of the career open to the talents but it would be hard to name any country in any period of history which lias come closer to it closer certainly than was france when the phrase was first invented for careers were then open only to those whose talents were recognized as such by the emperor even in england today ot course it may be an advantage to bo born as a member of a rich or an influen tial family but it may not be and what is really important in this con nection it is by no means necessary the road of education to its very end lias been thrown open to persons of the humblest origins the slumbred child who shows signs of brains at- his elementary school may go thence by way of a secondary school to oueof the older universities where all the honors and all the prizes and all the opportun ities ot later life lie ready to his hands he may pass into the civil service and become permanent sec retary to the treasury or he may he called to the bar and become lord chancellor no profession except per haps the army and the navy now presents any insuperable obstacles to the entrance of a young man who seems likely to excel in it to most observers this widespread scattering of opportunity will seem the most precious gift ot our modern civilization the adventure of lite has been thrown open to all but it re mains an adventure has been render ed indeed even more advuturous than it was since the wellborn young man of promise finds as his grandfather did not the son ot the dustman in the field against him and no less welp equipped than he entrants for the great race are drawn from the whole population

diplomatic relations with tho soviet union wo were selling at the maximum some 0000000 worth of british manufac tured goods to the soviet union annual ly whatever may be the cause this figure has shrunk in recent years to about 2700000 a year therefore we might at first sight hope it we the country must get away from tho influence of old controversies said lord melchett at a recent meet ing of the empire producers associa tion the british people already believ ed in tho development of the empire as an economic unit they were work ing for an ideal object and a prac tical form would have to be reached the machinery aud methods to be used would have to be varied aud elastic one o the most practical methods of achieving the desired ob ject was concurrently with the im perial conference to hold an empire conference ot business men to dis cuss new developments there were and what measures had better be ad opted for the prosperity of tlte em pire there was no central organiza tion in existence which could deal with these matters the agenda ot tho imperial conference was always so full and those attending had al ways to consider domestic politics that it was not possible to get going during its sessions therefore it was ot the utmost importance that those who understood british trade aud im perial trade should sit down together to a frank aud free discussion of tho problem wtih the endeavour to find solutions there wa3 no doubt that with good will and a real itraire to promote the empire economic unit that any ap parent difficulties could easily be over come the country irrespective of party or faction was paying more attention to the requirements of the economic situation more and more interest was being taken in the ques tion of greater interimperial trade the statistics showed that the only direction in which british trade was advancing was in itnerimperial di rections this alone should be suffi cient- jx convince any doubters a start should bo made to develop this growing trade on organised linos peers surprised eleven peers who were members of the late government were astound ed at figures quoted in the house ot lords by the earl of midleton show

and glamour ot those days call to us from books and pic tures but we sadly acknowledge that they are gone for aye even the great adventure ot a seavoyage is denied us now that liners start to the minute and arrive onlhe second the survivors story those were tho days we sigh when we read ot smugglers pirate kings mutiny on the high seas and other gory doings today our smug glers are rumruuner3 our pirates have their opposite number in the hjackers and mutiny simply doesnt exist well thats where we go wrong mutiny isnt as much a backnumber as we imagine there have been cases of mutiny just as desperate and blood thirsty 33 any in the history of the sea in this present century take the story of the threemasted barque veronica of 1107 tons burden which sailed from ship island mississippi for monte video with a cargo ot tim ber a forlorn group of men picked up from an uninhabited island oft the coast ot brazil declared themselves to be the 3ole survivors ot the ver onica and told a terrible tale of fire at sea and the loss of the rest of the crew spared because he could cook but one of the rescued was moses thomas a negro and his tale ran on i different and still more terrible lines the other survivors were four young germans thomas swore that these four had murdered the captain the mates and the rest of the crew aud then fired the vessel thomas him self was spared because he was the only one wiio couid cook but for the grace of heaven he concluded i was murdered too the germans made away with their victims one by one the last being the fir3t mate and the captain who though wounded took refuge in the navigationroom only to be brutally murdered later on when the mutin eers found it necessary to enter the room where they had barricaded their quarry the cooks story backed up later by one of the germans who gave evidence against his fellownut tineers reads like a lurid flight ot imagination few novelists could have conjured up a more terrible tale yet this happened in 1002 murder for murders sake the story ot the veronica is gra phically told in strange tales of the seven seas by j g lockhart mr lockharts book lives well up to it3 title indeed as he him self says in his preface reading them through in bulk i ilnd there is rather more bloodshed than i bargain ed for as in the oldtime penny dreadful there is a murder on al most every page mutiny is the
