Opening up the Soudan

Replying to the toast of 'The Imperial forces/ at -the luncheon given to Mr Andrew Oaraegie and Lord Balfour of Burleigh in tbe Muni ipal Buildings, (Jtasgow, on September 10th, the Sir dar (Hir Fr»noie Reginald Wingatp) referred to tbe work of opening up th** Soudan. He w^h- dto say 'hnt in the reincarnated 8-urfan b^rewis nmplp tcep" for i*n*erpnsp of all sorfs under thedut.l lags of Great Britain and Egypt, with publid security aesuml by Ihe pretence of BJtyp'iac and Bondan. em troops, who had shown tl eir gal lantry and trustworthiness, on several UCOieions. Ho had no hesitation in gi.yingj that judicious pion< aring of some of tho principal coaimeroial houses in Glasgow" would result in benefit to thpmaelvpg as well as to the country. Not, a f«w. w^re alive to Ihw"fact, m had betn proved by the appearance of s. paragraph stating that be had com© to Glasgow in order te purchase large stocks of rail winy and bridging material. He ne^d h^dlv iay tiia< thin wsn not » fact, \m* hp oai -h s*y -hat the Kgyp'i»»n (J.-v-rn m-nthad rpc-*ntfy liberally _r t t d« oonsidt-rabln sum ot monpy in order »v Improve railway communioa'ionH in the Soudan, »nd he had not thea'iphl' ©il;. donbt if Glasgow houses wnnld tpn d-t *b*»y -h«>o'd have ©"Pry profippcl- r>f doing some business. It w»s e«««^nrinl that there should be an outlet for Son dan trade towards the Bed The Bile Valley must be connected with Suakim or some other port. Fifteen years of Dervish misrule and destruc tion had '-aused the sorvtvors td be deficient ot almost all the necessaries of Ufa, and inre'-y there was ample scope lor enterprise in that direction, but he thought it only fair to mention that oil of the teeming populations of the Soudan it was calculated that 75 per cent of the inhabitants bad disnppeared through war, famine, and disease. Of course^ we were only at the very be ginning of our great work. The raagni tude of the country was scarcely reali sed by people here, and its resources Were almost unknown, but during the many journeys he bad made since the Soudan had been re-conquered he had ieen ampin |u»ti@cation for hoping that there was considerable scope for com mercial enterprise of all sorts. Re garding the Gordon College at Khar toum, they would be interested to hear that it was making good progress to wards completion, and they calculated it mighj; be completed in about a year. Elementary schools had been started in several towns in the Soudan, and it was hoped that several lads would be eligible to enter on a course of tech nical education by the time the College was completed, a year hence. As to climate,his experience was that it was cot .early io bad as it had been painted.

Embalming, and Apparent Death- A New Peril.

A writer In a Home paper on the above subject, fays:—Tbe interesting report of a crematorium for Hendin In The Paily AfciM prompts ma to set k permission to refer briefly to the abrve-nuned impor tant subject, The erase for embalming _ee*n*-lj introduced into this country from ihi> United States, and recommended by fashionable undertakers, constitutes a

fresh danger to the safety of the public, which hal? nob received the attention it merits!.* It is Admitted by high medical authorities that th«? difficulty of disting ufahteg rpal from apparent death hoi en Jnanperab!e and that putrefactive decom position is the only reliable diagnostic sign of dissolution. If experienced physi cians find it difficult In such oa«es to ascertain the presence or absence of life, how much more fo an undertaker, who is neither qualified by Btudy nor examina tion to a ive so serious a problem.

Tbe News and Sentinel, Colebrook "U.S.A., August Ist, reports a most «t a tl|f(? ppisode, under the title. 'The Corps© Wa« Alive.' Tt appears thab Dr Nelson Cull, of Guildhall, Veimonb, was driving* spirted horse, and at a railway crossing the animal took fright, became unmanageable, and ran away, running the vehicle into a ditch, and throwing tbe doctor onb. Some passers-by saw and recognised the doctor lying insensible, and conveyed him to his home. A pbysi. clan was called In, who pronounced life extinct, declaring that the man's neck nag broken. Whilst an undertaker and cmbslmer, who had been telephoned for, were arguing over thetr embalming tools, the supposed corpse sat up and a&ked sleepily if lb was nob nearly time for dinner* To their astonishment, he then Cot up and «a!ked into the kitchen, where he ate » hearty meal. They dropped their embalming implements and fled, (In ihe afternoon the doc! or was observed doing a good half day's haymaking in his meadow.' '

The uncertainty of death is so great that legislation should step in to prevent burial, cremation, post mortem.er emba'm - fag until putrefactive decomposition renders It absolutely certain that a person Iras ceased to exist. The indecent haste to dispose ot the bodies of the supposed dead la responsible for much of the danger of premature borlal.

A SPRING *' MEDICINE. It is well to remember that at this season of ail others the human system needs to be toned up arid put in thorough condition! to withstand the change ©I the season. BILE BEANS for BILIOUS NESS are the very best medi cine that can be taken for this purpose, as they cleanse and regulate the Liver, an organ to which may be traced nearly all the minor ailments so many people suffer from. If the Liver is not in thorough working order, the blood is impure, the circulation sluggish, the digestion impaired, the sleep disturbed, and the complexion sallow. The consequence is that there is a lack of energy, and the sufferer becomes a victim of "that tired feeling," To he out of sorts in the Spring is most trying, as many people know, if you are feeling *' run down " and without energy for work, take BILE BEANS for BILIOUSNESS, and they will put you in a condition that will withstand the changeable Spring weather.
