The fresh rhizome of Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Roscoe ex Smith (Zingiberaceae) is widely used as a folk medicine in Taiwan. In this study, the fresh rhizome was extracted with 95 % EtOH and partitioned with diethyl ether. The antitumor effects of the diethyl ether extract were measured in cultured P-388D 1 cells and in an animal model of P-388D1-bearing CDF 1 mice. The results indicated that the extract could induce DNA fragmentation in P-388D1 cells in vitro, and significantly prolong the life of P-388D1-bearing CDF1 mice (ILS% = 127.8) at a dosage of 5 mg/kg body weight. After column chromatography combined with an MTT cytotoxicity bioassay, zerumbone, a cyclic sesquiterpene was isolated from the diethyl ether extract. Zerumbone inhibited the growth of P-388D1 cells, induced DNA fragmentation in culture, and significantly prolonged the life of P-388D1-bearing CDF1 mice (1LS% = 120.5) at a dosage of 2 mg/kg. Furthermore, zerumbone inhibited the growth of a human leukemia cell line, HL-60 cells, in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 22.29, 9.12, and 2.27 μg/mL for 6, 12, and 18 h, respectively. The cell cycle of HL-60 cells was observed after treatment with zerumbone, which induced G2/M cell cycle arrest in HL-60 cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, and decreased the cyclin B1/cdk 1 protein level. These results suggest that zerumbone is an active principal of Z. zerumbet and is potentially a lead compound for the development of anticancer drugs.

Asia Minute: Rare Presidential Transition for Kazakhstan
Hawaii Public Radio | By Bill Dorman
Published March 20, 2019 at 8:43 AM HST
http://en.kremlin.ru
One of the most powerful rulers in Asia is resigning. He has led the central Asian nation of Kazakhstan for nearly three decades — and what comes next is not clear.
Nursultan Nazarbayev has ruled Kazakhstan since it was part of the Soviet Union. Practically speaking, political opposition has not been a factor in Kazakhstan for decades — in the last presidential election, Nazarbayev took nearly 98-percent of the vote.
He's long welcomed investment from energy companies around the world to his central Asian country. That included Exxon's development of the Tengiz oil fields in a deal signed shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Rex Tillerson was a familiar figure — both as the head of Exxon-Mobil and later as Secretary of State. Tillerson praised Nazerbayev at the United Nations for giving up a large arsenal of nuclear weapons after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Human Rights Watch has been highly critical of Kazakhstan under Nazarbayev saying activists, union officials and journalists have been "wrongfully imprisoned," and that "impunity for torture and ill-treatment in detention persist."
Energy resources have been the key to Kazakhstan's economy — hurt in recent years by falling oil prices and sanctions against Russia which remains its largest trading partner.
Just last month, the 78-year old Nazarbayev fired his entire cabinet.
The resigning president told a national broadcast audience that he will be succeeded by the chairman of the Senate — a long-time political ally.

Landscape with a Boat
Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Landscape with a Boat, ca. 1862
GHANA TRADES UNION CONGRESS
This week, Ghana's government reached an agreement to raise public sector salaries by 30 percent in response to rapidly rising inflation, now at 54 percent. In addition to demanding wage increases, the Ghana Trades Union Congress (GTUC)—the nation's largest labor organization—has rejected certain austerity measures proposed by the government, which is seeking a $3 billion IMF loan.
In a 2017 article, NAABORKO SACKEYFIO-LENOCH examines the GTUC after independence, focusing on the union's international labor alliances from 1957 to 1971.
"At the beginning of 1957, Ghanaian trade unions, like many African trade unions, embraced a global perspective on worker issues even within the context of the nationalist struggles. Within less than two years, however, that viewpoint had been replaced by an inward-looking perspective that focused on developing an African labor movement on African terms and separate from the international labor movement. Because the Nkrumah government and the GTUC advocated the Pan-African trade union model, they had not explored the issue of how such a union would be financed and instead had focused on issues related to international affiliation. The Pan-African and nationalist framework intersected with the question of financing imperatives such that national and continental efforts superseded GTUC's endeavors to work with European or American groups at this pivotal moment.
In spite of ongoing ideological divisions among African trade unions related to the issue of international affiliation, union leaders continued to seek and international organizations continued to provide development assistance. Trade unions across the continent invariably were identified with one or the other of the competing Cold War blocs. Despite some African countries' refusal to affiliate with international entities, the underlying competition between the ICFTU and the International Federation of Christian Trade Unions, which represented the West, and the WFTU, representing the Eastern bloc, meant that all three groups continued to provide financial support that enabled delegations, study groups, and technical advisers to travel to and from Africa. African labor unions' need for external assistance to develop their programs contributed to this contested landscape."

NEW RESEARCHERS
"Blacklisting" in the Soviet Union
VITALIIA YAREMKO is a PhD candidate in the economics department at the University of California, Berkeley. In a recent paper, she examines the long-term consequences of "blacklisting," a Soviet policy enforced in Ukraine during the 1932-33 famine.
From the abstract:
"Under blacklisting, all village residents could be banned from trade and provision of crucial goods, prohibited from moving, and imposed harsh in-kind fines. Formally, the policy was meant to punish the communities underperforming in terms of state food procurement (similar to in-kind taxation) because local procurement shortfalls supposedly were a consequence of intentional, profit-seeking behavior. Using a weather-based instrument for the locality's blacklisting status, I document that blacklisting significantly reduced the present-day nightlight intensity (a proxy measure for economic development). Additional evidence points to entrepreneurship and trust as channels for this effect. My results support the notion that policies that suppress economic freedoms and disrupt social structure can have persistent negative effects on economic performance."

+ "Service was associated, first, with small to medium sized farms. On these 'family' farms, farmers faced the acute problem of balancing family needs and family labor over the developmental cycle of the family. Servants were hired to fill the economic role of missing adolescent children (as they were also hired to replace dead husbands and wives). Smaller farmers found it simple to integrate their small hired labor force into their families. Farm service was associated, next, with the keeping of livestock. Animals required constant care, and servants hired for the year and resident on the farm were ideally suited to these tasks. Discontinuous and seasonal tasks, on the other hand, were those to which laborers hired for the day, week, or task were better suited. The presence of commons and wastes, and of rural by-employment, enhanced the demand for servants by depressing the supply of full-time adult laborers." By Ann S. Kussmaul. Link.

The Polycrisis (Climate and Political Economy with Kate Mackenzie and Tim Sahay)


Planning your new outdoor living space will take you down many different paths. As you begin designing your new space you will inevitably start planning for an area where you will host friends and family, along with providing an area for relaxation. Typically these areas are connected directly to your home via a deck or patio of some sort and eventually become extensions of your home.
However if you want to create a unique space on its own and also offer the comforts of being protected from the elements where do you start?
Do you build an enclosed space typically offered by a gazebo?
This could limit you to how many people you can entertain along with typically intruding on useable, functional space in your outdoor living area.
Another route is to build a freestanding pergola. Typically these are static structures that have fixed horizontal beams that provide some cover and also allow light in. For the most part these offer a unique aesthetic but provide little in functionality. We at aluminnumpergola.ca have a solution that provides both a modern aesthetically pleasing freestanding structure along with the functionality and adaptability to provide shelter from the elements while enjoying the outdoors.
We construct our freestanding pergolas using 6061 alloy T6 aluminum. This provides a solid freestanding structure that can withstand winds of up to 140 mph, heavy rain and snowfall, and high temperatures. From there we powder coat our pieces to create the desired colour aesthetic you want. This powder coat also adds a layer of protection to the structure and keeps any moisture away from the structure itself. The aluminum louvres are the game changer when it comes to adaptability. The louvres move and create a watertight ceiling that protects you and your friends and family from inclement weather and from powerful, harmful UV rays. Turning the louvres allows you to control how much light you are exposed to and this in turn helps control the temperature in the area.
The final product is a freestanding pergola that will stand the test of time with regards to exposure to the elements and provide you and your friends and family with a unique, multi-functional space for entertainment and relaxation.
Our team at aluminumpergola.ca have also received a lot of questions regarding freestanding pergola kits. Currently we do not offer a kit or build it yourself solution but it is something our team is exploring and working on offering in the near future. When you call us, we will book an appointment at your home or business at your convenience and have one of our experienced estimators come and give you a breakdown of what will need to happen in order to build you your custom aluminum louvered pergola. Once we solidified the install we manufacture your custom pergola. Typical wait time for manufacturing is 2-3 weeks. All our manufacturing is done in the GTA. All our products are built and designed in Canada.
We are proud to offer an all Canadian-made product to our clients in the GTA.
Contact us today at aluminumpergola.ca and start enjoying the outdoors with your new freestanding aluminum louvered pergola.
Maximize the comfort and functionality of your outdoor living space year round.

McCain Foodservice is giving chefs who are proud of the hand cut chips they make for their menus to pitch them against their own Gastro Chips range to see how they compare in terms of taste, appearance and operational efficiency.
The chip manufacturer is so confident in the quality of its new product and that it will be of benefit to pubs, restaurants and hotels that it is encouraging chefs to come forward and pitch their own recipe and technique against that of its own in its Hand Cut Chip Challenge.
McCain developed the homemade style hand cut-look chips, which are sourced from British potatoes, following months of research and after it saw a gap in the market for a premium chip.
It believes its product not only offers consistent quality, but also enables a kitchen to save on preparation time and wastage produced by making chips from scratch.
"Preparing quality chips from fresh potatoes and on a consistent basis, is very labour intensive, particularly when large volumes are involved," said McCain Foods marketing manager Donna Rowbottom.
According to research undertaken for McCain, 85 per cent of diners would not return to a venue that served bad chips.
Rowbottom told BigHospitality she and her team had worked 'to the point of obsession' on creating the perfect chip with a homemade effect that was consistently of high quality. The product could also help boost profits - from a cost price of 43 pence per portion, there is potential for an 88 per cent profit when sold at £3.50.
"Great chips are integral to customers' meal experience, so it's vital that they're as good as they can be," Rowbottom said. "Gastro will allow caterers to serve premium chips on a consistent basis throughout the year and are a must have for foodie pubs, restaurants and hotels."
Do you think your chips can better McCain's Gastro Chips? If you do, call the McCain Foodservice team on 0800 146573 and they'll send a representative to your pub or restaurant to find out who's chips win the taste test.

EXIT to Snakes, SEALS & The Everglades
EXIT of the DAY:
I-95n Exit 26 in FL To: I-595 , FL 736, Davie Blvd
After graduating from Yale and Harvard Law School, self proclaimed "Man of the people" and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis served as a Navy officer and attorney in the Judge Advocate General's Corps. Yes, Judge Advocate General stands for JAG, and JAG is the subject of the popular CBS TV series now in syndication. But a JAG officer's life is not half as exciting as shown on TV. While the original TV series was pitched in 1995 as "Top Gun" meets "A Few Good Men" actual JAG work is legal work by attorneys — albeit lawyers in spotless Navy uniforms.
At age 41, DeSantis is today the youngest governor of any state. While being a a vocal supporter of President Trump, he has supported locally enlightened policies. An apt snapshot for Ron DeSantis' policies is his hosting a Python Super Bowl. Hunters were invited to the Everglades to hunt the invasive Burmese Python species which are wiping out local wildlife on an unprecedented level. In doing so, he appeals to conservative hunters as well as aligns himself with left leaning conservation groups. The Governor posed for photographs in front of a huge snake. He hoisted a python skin football.
Following his inauguration, DeSantis increased bipartisanship with State Democrats. In stark contrast to Trump policy, he even started progressive reforms to environment and drug policies. DeSantis allocated $2.5 billion for water resource projects including $360 million for the Everglades National Park. He also supported legislation to support marijuana legalization not to mention, appointed several Democrats to positions in his cabinet — moves that drew praise from liberal pundits. DeSantis casually told the Tampa Bay Times that he was "basically doing what I said I was going to do."
Still DeSantis usually defers to President Trump's base. DeSantis attacked Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's support in the 2016 election. He urged Trump to shut down the investigation. This keeps him tops in the Trump sphere even while he creates a workable environment to do horse trading on a local level.
Never one to be easily pigeonholed, back in 2007, DeSantis was assigned to SEAL Team One and deployed to Iraq .
Did that mean he was a SEAL?… Well not Really but…
During the so-called Surge, according to the Miami Herald, DeSantis served as a senior legal advisor to the SEAL Commander of Special Operations in Task Force-West in Fallujah. DeSantis helped ensure that the missions of both Navy SEALs as well as Army Special Forces were planned according to the rule of law. At the time, a lot of prisoners were picked up and transferred to Iraqi Authorities. Lawyer DeSantis was responsible for overseeing that this process was done legally.
Given his role, it is quite — well — interesting why he later touted photographs of himself tricked out in combat gear and hoisting serious firepower — when he really was dressed far more often as a Navy orderly who did paper work. In other words, Governor DeSantis was a paper pusher not a soldier. DeSantis later made his association with SEALS a pillar of his campaign. Mailers featuring that one photo of him in uniform and holding a gun were sent statewide.
According to the Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs, there are more than 1.5 million veterans living in Florida. Clerk or SEAL, every Veteran counts. That said, we are not sure how many paralegals live in Florida. Governor De Santis has not touted images of him working behind piles of books — even if it was his actual role in the military.
Lawyer or soldier it may not matter much since hopefully, today he now wears a uniform with snake boots.

For Whom the Bell Tolls: a Front Line Healthcare Worker & Nobel Laureate
In World War 1, a young front line healthcare worker from a Chicago Suburb survived his wounds and went on to become a world famous author. Two years before America got involved in the conflict, Nobel Laureate Ernest Hemingway volunteered to drive ambulances for the Italian Army. In Hospital, the young volunteer fell in love with a nurse. His experiences there ultimately were fictionalized into one of his most famous Novels, A FAREWELL TO ARMS.
EXIT of the DAY: Exit 1a on I-95n to Key Biscayne Causeway, in Miami, Florida
About 120 miles southwest of this first northbound EXIT on Interstate 95 is the funky enclave of Key West. Key West is connected by culture and history to many, many cultures.
Back in 1939, just before the Nazis invaded Poland to start World War Two, the Spanish Civil War ended and for many American volunteers it was a sad day since Fascism defeated Democracy. One American sympathizer for the defeated side was the famous author Ernest Hemingway.
Papa Hemingway had been a long time lover of all things Spanish. He annually would travel to Spain to follow the Bullfight circuit, he often went to Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls, and he vacationed often in Spain's Pyrenee Mountains fly fishing for trout. Papa also owned homes on either side of the Gulf Stream in both Key West, Florida and in Havana, Cuba. There he immersed himself in writing, marlin fishing, and hanging out at the birthplace of the daiquiri, Bar Floridita, La Habana, cuna del Daiquirí, with his Cuban amigos speaking Spanish fluently.
So when Spanish General, Francisco Franco sought to overthrow the left-leaning popularly elected government in Madrid, Hemingway took the threat to democracy personally. He got involved the best way he knew how.
Hemingway wrote.
As per Hemingway Historian and University of Idaho Professor Dale Graden :
"This brutal war lasted for nearly three years (July 1936-March 1939), claiming at least one-half million lives and sending another one-half million refugees into exile. For Ernest Hemingway, the fight against General Francisco Franco became a cause of utmost importance. In March 1937, he traveled to Madrid to observe conditions firsthand. Reporting on the war for the North American Newspaper Alliance (NANA), Hemingway penned 31 dispatches from Spain. "
"He also helped to produce a pro-Republican film, "The Spanish Earth." His experiences during the civil war provided the material for what many consider to be Hemingway's most famous novel, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1940).
After Franco's victory, Spain became a dictatorship until 1975 whereupon, with the help of the Spanish Royal Family, Spain became a true democracy again. But it was one of the last Western European countries to throw off the chains of a dictator.
Whether it be encroaching autocracy or a world at war, it is good to appreciate the artistry of a First Responder from an earlier era — and era not too distant nor too different from our own.

The UPEI Panthers jumped all over the Mount Allison Mounties in the second half of Saturday afternoon's game, as they cruised to a 5-1 win.
The Panthers scored four times in the final 45 minutes with goals from Ignacio Sanchez, Sam Smiley, Salem Farag and Viktor Guterriez.
With the win, the team finds themselves back in the postseason after missing out on all the fun last year.
"The entire team committed to playing the right way this year and we executed what we wanted," Smiley said. "We just have to go for it at this point and leave it all on the field."
With a handful of graduating players on the roster, the Panthers wanted to deliver a performance to remember for the home crowd one last time.
Mohammad Jaber got things going in the 23rd minute when midfielder Khalil Sow lobbed a pass over the defence to the speedy striker, who let the ball bounce before volleying it over the keeper.
A bad read by Brett Strba allowed the Mounties to tie it up 10 minutes later. The goalkeeper raced off his line trying to clear a ball, but Ziad Abdelrahman got there first and put away the goal on the open net.
The home side had no intention of coming away with anything less than a win and it showed in the second half.
"It was motivation for us," said Sanchez, who was named the Subway Player of the Game. "We knew it was our last home game and we really wanted to go out on a high."
Sanchez opened the scoring five minutes into the second half after Smiley ran up the right wing, cut toward the middle and centred a pass to the veteran midfielder, who connected on the strike.
In the 74th minute centre back, Jake Deighan, sent a long ball to Smiley, who ran it down before chipping a shot over the keeper. Farag deposited his first goal of his AUS career a minute later when Smiley headed a beautiful free kick to the rookie, who found the back of the net with a low shot.
Gutierrez took advantage of some shaky goaltending in the 86th minute when Mountie keeper, Michael Cormier, fumbled a Panther cross allowing the striker to tap home the team's fifth goal.
After the game, Sanchez reflected on his time as a Panther and what the program has meant to him in his five-year stint.
"It's gratitude for the program and everything we've been through with each other and the coaching staff," he said. "We came in as kids and now we're leaving as grown men."
UPEI heads off to Cape Breton for the AUS Championship, where they'll take on the UNB Reds in semifinal action. Kickoff is scheduled for Oct. 31 at 7 p.m.
"The slate is clean now and we know we can compete with any team in the playoffs," Sanchez said.

Beautiful Vietnam
Wild turtles under threat of extinction
| VNS | January 06, 2020 04:24 PM
Many species of rare turtles are in danger of extinction due to illegal trading in Vietnam.
Wild turtles traded publicly in Tam Nông market in Đồng Tháp Province.
In the Cửu Long (Mekong) Delta region, turtles are being sold as pets and for their meat, with many people thinking owning a turtle or eating one, brings good luck.
Turtles are openly traded at markets in Long An, An Giang and Đồng Tháp provinces.
In Tam Nông food market in Đồng Tháp Province, many species of turtles, including Mekong snail-eating turtles which are listed in the endangered Vietnam Red Data Book, are sold alongside snakes and wild birds.
Despite being close to the National Bird Sanctuary and Láng Sen Nature Conservation Area, trade is busy on the market with meat selling for VNĐ500,000 (US$26) per kilo.
One seller even claimed the turtles were taken from a nature reserve.
"These were rare turtles which were caught in the sanctuary," said a shop owner.
"People bought small turtles to raise as pets and the bigger ones for cooking special dishes," she said.
"I could supply as many customers as I wanted. I also have a shipping service to other provinces and HCM City," she said.
Unlike people in the Cửu Long Delta, those in the northern region preferred using the reptiles for cooking a concentrated paste from bones.
Wild animal bone paste is a common traditional practice in Vietnam cooked from bones of tiger, lions, turtles, cobra, horse and deers.
Some people believe the paste is good for health, especially male virility, and could even cure some diseases.
The turtles used for this are sa nhân (scientific name: cuora mouhoti) and big-head (scientific name: platysternum megacephalum) which are both on the endangered list of reptiles.
Poachers use dogs to catch the reptiles in Ba Bể National Park and Tát Kẻ-Bản Trung Nature Conservation Park in Tuyên Quang Province.
The act of catching and killing endangered animals may be criminally handled or administratively sanctioned depending on the value of material evidence, said Bùi Thị Hà, vice director of Education for Nature – Vietnam (EVN), a non-government conservation and environmental protection organisation.
In cases worth more than VNĐ150 million (US$6,500) or make a profit of VNĐ50 million (US$3,170) or more, violators could be jailed for up to 12 years.
Anyone caught with less than those figures face fines of up to VNĐ300 million (US$13,000), Hà said, adding that despite tough sentences, poaching is still rife due to high demand.
Between 2013 and 2017, only 15 cases were prosecuted.
Reptiles caught are not only sold in Vietnam, many are also shipped to China where turtle consumption is huge.
According to experts, the serious situation of the illegal trade of rare animals was due to legal loopholes.
The Vietnamese law does not allow hunting or trade of endangered animals, but it does allow turtles to be raised in commercial farms.
As a result, farm owners may trade animals which actually have been caught in wild but claim they are commercially bred.
The overlap of laws and decrees in the legal system of Vietnam also prevented enforcement agencies from taking action.
To confront the situation, conservation experts suggested it was necessary to change consumption behaviour and improve awareness.
Knowledge on natural conservation and wildlife protection should be provided to law enforcement staff at local levels.
And commercial farms should be encouraged to engage into rare animal breeding activities which help the wildlife conservation be sustainable.

In 2015 alone, Foresters invested more than $21.3 million in member benefits including $2 million in competitive scholarships for students in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. We also provided almost $10.6 million towards community initiatives such as playground builds, beach cleanups, care packages and family fun days where our members can spend quality time with their families at no cost.
At Foresters, we offer many ways for our members to develop their leadership skills. This could be as simple as applying for a grant to run a volunteer activity or, if you're interested in even more involvement, you might consider nominating yourself for Branch Councillor.
Working within our 50 Branches the elected Branch Councillors provide strong local leadership, helping to guide and support our impact in members' communities.
We believe that education and community are important. That's why we give almost $2 million per year in renewable tuition competitive scholarships to members or their family member. The scholarship selections are based on factors that include good grades and community volunteer involvement.
We also invest over $4 million annually to support the Foresters Community Grants program, which allows members to access funds to organize and host their own local fun family and volunteer events.

Rhabanus!
That is indeed an important point: the Second Vatican Council in NOT the same thing as the Liturgical Movement. Neither did Vatican II uncritically canonize the Liturgical Movement nor accept all of its currents. Indeed, you would also have to say that there is no such thing as a "Liturgical Movement". Rather, there are several different "Liturgical Movements" -and not all are of the same significance or seriousness. I suspect that Paddy Jones is to be found towards the dafter end of the spectrum where a lot of rubbish is passed off on the unsuspecting as being required by Vatican II when in fact they are talking about some of the nuttier things from the Liturgical Movement's other side.
P.S. Did not the same lady in Dubliners have a little remark to make about a certain Italian composer?
The lady with the remark about Verdi was Mrs Mallins, Freddy's mother:
"I understand that Mr Verdi's morals are dubious … very dubious."
The line is delivered with particular aplomb by Irish actress Marie Keane.
The conversation over Pius X's motu proprio Tra le sollecitudini is noteworthy. Aunt Julia has just sung "Arrayed for the Bridal" from Bellini's opera I Puritani (1835). Following the accolades, Julia says:
— Thirty years ago I hadn't a bad voice as voices go.
— I often told Julia, said Aunt Kate emphatically, that she was simply thrown away in that choir. Bur she never would be said by me … No, continued Aunt Kate, she wouldn't be said or led by anyone, slaving there in that choir night and day, night and day. Six o'clock on Christmas morning! And all for what?
–Well, isn't it for the glory of God, Aunt Kate? asked Mary Jane, twisting around on the piano-stool and smiling.
Aunt Kate turned fiercely on her niece and said:
–I know all about the honour of God, Mary Jane, but I think it's not at all honourable for the pope to turn out the women out of the choirs that have slaved there all their lives and put little whipper-snappers of boys over their heads. I suppose it is for the good of the Church if the pope does it, but it's not just, Mary Jane, and it's not right.
She had worked herself into a passion and would have continued in defence of her sister for it was a sore subject with her but Mary Jane, seeing that all the dancers had come back, intervened pacifically:
–Now Aunt Kate, you're giving scandal to Mr Browne who is of the other persuasion.
Aunt Kate turned to Mr Browne, who was grinning at this allusion to his religion, and said hastily:
–O, I don't question the pope's being right. I'm only a stupid old woman and I wouldn't presume to do such a thing. But there's such a thing as common everyday politeness and gratitude. And if I were in Julia's place I'd tell that Father Healy straight up to his face …
–And besides, Aunt Kate, said Mary Jane, we really are all hungry and when we are hungry we are all very quarrelsome.
–And when we are thirsty, we are also quarrelsome, added Mr Browne.
–So that we had better go to supper, saind Mary Jane, and finish our discussion afterwards.
