Order " Huia," the butter that is made from the finest Otngo cream.—Advt. The recent visit of the Maharaja of Trnvancore to Manchester is an interesting sign of the times, says an Englinh journal. Not only has he broken n tradition at least 18 centuries old in leaving his own land and crossing the sea, bu* his interest in Western industrialism, which made the Manchester visit the most important item on his travel progremme, typifies the new spirit in India. The selection of Manchester .was probably partly governed by Lancashire's long-standing association with Indian trade, but it has other justifications us well. It is about 100 years since Disraeli, in " Coningsby," made Sidonia tell his hero to "go in Manchester" if he wanted to see what was most vital an! important in England. Where would " Dizzy " send his hero to-day? Perhaps still to Manchester. At any rate, the Maharaja seeme to think so.
