Singapore is a short and easy way of saying many, many things; trans- lated into the metaphorical language of a verse-writer, this is one of them: "Hail, Mother! .

The second doorway of the wide world's trade * Is mine yo loose or bar." trade, otherwise, Singapore would be to-day merely a fish-market. Singapore has six busy miles of docks and piers and here is the ren- dezvous of one of the queerest fleets that the four winds ever brought to- gether--everything nautical from a rakish Malay pirate-boat or a goggle- eyed Chinese junk to the grey-sided warboat or the giant "Cleveland." And here, for the first time since we left Hoboken, our big ship lay alongside a dock instead of anchoring off-shore. Beyond the dock stretches a beauti- ful street equipped with a trolley-line go cover the two-mile distance to the busy streets of the town.

Murderer Resisted When Called to Go to His Death. N.Y, March 20.--Armed guards dragged Domenico B. Di Pas- quale to the death chair here, Mon- aay. He refisted them until the en- trance to the death chamber was reached. Then, convinced that there was no hope, he squared his shoulders and marched steadily to the chair in the middle of the little execution room. He seated himsell with the greatest deliberation, and, as the anxious guards hurriedly fastened the straps, he opened his mouth as though tQ utter a protest. But the words died in his throat as the helmet was shoved down on his head and a few seconds later his body had stiffened with the force of 1,875 volts of electricity. It relaxed as the current was withdrawn, but a second shock of the same voltage was re quired to make death certain. Western Hospital Scandal. Vancouver, B.C., March 20.--Ald. T. S. Baxter, attacked the management of the Vancouver General Hospital, 'presenting an affidavit of I. M. Stitt, who declared that he had picked live and dead cockroaches out of the food furpished to his son, a patient in the hospital. The charges created a sen- sation. A - special meeting of tlie city council and hospital board will be held to make an investigation. The Chances Journalist Jumps From Gallery to Floor of House. Budapest, March 20.--Scenes of the wildest uproar occurred towards the end of a sitting of the lower house of the Hungarian parliament. The president set forth his views as to the way in which the business of the house should be conducted. He was, however, frequently interrupted, and several members of the opposition party ran up the steps of the presi- dential tribune and handed M. Navay a sheet of paper gontaining a written demand for a secret sitting. The pre- sident, however, tore up the paper and threw it on the ground. J A deene of indiscribable tumult then ensued. The government party hroke out into frantic cheers, while the op- position, hot with indignation, shout- ed at the president, "You are mad: you should be in a lunatic asylum." When the uproar was at its height a journalist. named Palyi sprang from the press gallery on to the floor of the chamber and rushed up to the pre- sident's "tribune as he thought, al- though erroneously, that the personal safety of the president was threatened. M. Martin Lovaszy, of the Justh party, approached the tribune and de- molished the balustrade. After the hogse had been twice ad- journed M. Navay acceded to the de- mand of the opposition for a secret sitting. He expressed regret for his brusque gesture and said he would take steps to deal with the duct of the journalist, Palyi, Auburn, The Outlook for Ireland. London, March 20.--John E. Red- mond, leader of the Irish parliamen- tary party. presiding at a St. Pat- rick's banquet at the Hotel Cecil, said that the home rule bill would vase the House of Commons by more than 100 majority, and inside of two would become law.

We had nearly 50 different dispositions and inclinations and these led us into many different quarters and divers experiences. Yet when we got together on the boat and sailed away, it became evident that Singapore probably more than any other port of call, had given everyone {the sensation of having had a good time. ' THE ADOPTION DANCE. Curious Ceremonial of Child Into Tribe. The adoption dance is one of ceremonial dances of This is quite different from any . of the festive dances. They come many miles around and camp; their faces are painted and their persons decorat- ed with heads. They dance all day and night with- out eating. A bonfire is built in the centre of the camp and they dance around this. The fire is kept burning about the same all the time. This serves also as their light. The adoption dance is rather quiet, more so than the other dances. The women do most of the singing, says a writer in the Red Man, and sing very low. They dance around the circle in twos. The men dance together in front, and the women together in the rear. The two leaders in front are usually the ones who are adopting the chil They carry tin pails; ber balls, which bounce and keep time With the drummer. This is all the | music they have to dance by. a large crowd is assembled they may have two or three drums. > 8 At these dances good order is kept. No drunkenness is allowed. The dance is in a grove, and if any one does not behave decently they tie him to a tree for the rest of the dance. After the 'dance they have a great feast which lasts all day, and visitors, and all others who attend the dance, are invited to pariake of the feast.

New York World. Dr. Anna Shaw, speaking in kindness as well as firmness of heart, savs: "We hope we shall not come to the mili- tant methods of our sisters in Eng- land, but I say if we are played with, made fun of and greeted with supercil- ious smiles by Congressional commit- tees, as we were yesterday, we will be driven to it; and if it does come, the daughters of old English sires here will be ready to suffer as the women are suffering in England." This threat is more portentous than it sounds. To shock the British gov- ernment it was necessary only to smash windows in London. A blow in Piccadilly was felt in Parliament, and from there thrilled and throbbed through the three kingdoms. But no solar-plexus blow is possible in this country, for no such nerve centre ex- ists in our politics. An attempt to move Washington by a fracas in Fifth avenue would be as futile as an effort to fatten a turtle by spreading butter on its shell. Noth- ig less than continental smashing would do the job. Therefore, it be hooves Congressmen not to make fun of Dr. Anna Shaw. Let us leave to Britain the things that are British. Death of M.

The sum expended for the last fiscal year was over $3,000,000. This meant the employment of over 9,000 teachers, partly Ameriecrn and part native, and an enrollment of over 600,000 pupils. Besides those already in use, pearly 300 school buildings of reinforced con- crete are under construction. The fas- cination of American games, such as baseball, baskethall, and such like, is being instilled into these youthful Ori- ental minds, to the alleged decadence of the cockpit, though that is alto- gether doubtful. Besides, a useful amount of industrial instruction is im- parted. All of which, from an aesthe tic point of view, is encouraging; but at the same time they have been so busy at such atlainments as to be un able to grow sufficient rice to feed themselves. They will also without doubt repay all this paternal eare by an instilled clamor for independence: so that, whatever satisfaction mav be deduced from this beneficient policy, it will be difficult to work out a profit in dollars and cents.
