successive failures I'd Twin peculiar tri-
umphs, but they are actually repeating
/ the most obvious mistakes Of their pre-
decessors. IL was sosind and q stock
argument against the last government
that it was always .en.feavoring with
much futile industry, to drive sthe pro-
verbal SIX omnibusses abreast through
Temple Bar. It. was a subject Of infinite
ridicule for Unionist wits. and the abuse
was so palpable to the moA cursory OBJ
server, that. it was probably one Of the
things that helped to a.:enates votes. SEES
sion after session the LIBERALS stuffed
their Queens speeches with measures
that had to be regularly Withdrawn in
the inevitable block Of public business.
The then Opposition, exhausted, held up
Ito public probation these prodigate man
oeuvres Of log-rolling ministry, and puo
it to the electorate whether it would not
be better to return to power a Unionist
Government, homogeneous and practical
which would not, on the oae lhand, be
committed by Missionaries TO THEFT OF
extracting social sunbeams from negisla-
tive cucumbers, and, on the othdr hand
would not be forced to: cater for t1Ae con-
f1icting demands Of d:scordant factions

THE II J: X RAYS.

"A little while ago we were told that the
1,sssly discovered x rays were accom-
pEishing marvellous results They. ena-
b1ed person to see through certain hard
and soft substances with ease, and the
human body could be penetrated as east
lily as ii it were the most transparent
7glass. Eevsry joint and bone In the body
could be seen as plainly as il 1t were bone
and no flesh tntsrfered. The heart could
be seen in it's wonderful function of re-
ceiving and discharging the blood, and
the blood itsalf could he watched shoot
ing to and fro through the veins and artef-
les. The human brain, too, could be
.closely scanned and studied. All3fCrefgn
Substances entering into the system could
be readily located and the, pathway Of
the surgeon was thus made easy. Not
only could others see all this, but every
person could see and stAdy his own sys-
TEN for himself. In fact, the statements
went so far as to say that any one with
a pocket machine like q kodak could see
all the internal organs Of every one ne
might meet on the street or elsewhere
This was startling. But to add to the
wonder we were told men were at work
perfecting a device whereby human
thought could be read, SO that the actual
feeling OF the horse trader, the book
agent and the sewing machine man could
be known in an instant. And OF course
all others with thoughts would be sub
jected to the same merciless treatment
Only idiots and Inmates were in any de-
gree safe from the terrors OF the new dis
coyery. s. &. II. u;
While people we're applauding on the
one hand because Of the great benefits
kaccruing to science and to mankind, and
lon the other hand were deploring that
ball their mental schemes would be ruth
tlessly exposed. 1t turns out that the ex-
Etraordinary reputation Of the new dis
coyery does not agree with the facts, as
the only thing that can be obtained is a
shadow of the substance and not the sub
stance itself, so that the shadow of a
t bought would be too d:aphanous to Gre
d tie CONSERVATION in the mind Of the per
81 IA who possessed it. Until more sub
st5antial' results have been obtained no
oa ie need fear exposure from the K rays
although the assistance they give in
loe ating foreign substances in the body
VIII prove a boon to sufferers and mate
ria ny assist the surgeon and physician in
their diagnosis. ~.

THE DEAD: SHAH.

Apart from his murderous. qualities the
late shah of Persia had other qualities
that were not by any means captivating.
When he visited England some years ago
he kept royalty in state Of terror and
perplexity during all the time he. re-
manned, and everybody was heartily glad
when he left At his meals Queen Vicl
toria furnished him with her most rare
and costly China and other service. AS
each course was served, his royal >nibs,
king of kings and several other things,
would take the dishes and smash them
on the floor in token that he was through
with them, and he was and So was
everybody else. He thus scattered de-
struction in his path and kept the royal
household in state bordering on distrac+
ton. \:
AS to his domestic life; it must have
been charming, as was also shown, In this
visit to England. Being introduced to
some lord or other dignitary, he noticed
that the latter's wife was rather plain
and old and he suggested to his. lordship
that he put her away and take one OF the
handsome girls present in her place.. So
that taking him all around he must have
been delightful companion both at
home and abroad.
When short time ago he proposed
paying England another visit all the
titled ladies and gentlemen were thrown
into a. state of CONJUNCTION. He must be
entertained by royalty. He was king Of
kings, by divine right of course. and
must receive the homage due his awfully
dignifled position among men.
Another interesting feature about the
deceased gentleman may be mentioned.
When he was at breakfast his subjects
came to him with their complaints. They
told their tales Of woe and his lnightiness
listened in silence. When the compliant
was finished he had made up his mind,
but did not speak. He simply to,lched
his eye or ear or neck or any other pnrA
ton of his anatomy which signifed that
that member must be Topped of. The
victim was always at hand and there was
no delay in carrying out the silent COM
.mand. The eye was at: once gouged. out,
or the foot or arm or ear or even the head
itself cut or and the placid rulsr con-
tinued to MUNICH his breakfast willis the
miserable victim shrdeked In agony.
When. Russia takes charge OF the
country. which it no doubt will ere long,
II should talse a few of these kings OF
kings who are lying shout loose and give
them a dose of their own medicine. 1T
would not only do them good hut u would

TO the lower classes who are undoubtedly
saved through It's channels Yet. there
are at times movements made by these
sslvationists which seems almost bias
phemous to most Christian people. Such
was the case when Bsllington Booth de
termined to call bis branch OF the Saliva
-tion army Gods American Volunteers.
Such q use OF the Creators name was OF
fensive to the mass Of the people, and It
has. we think, bsen discontinued.
The Christian Endeavor Society is an
American Institution and 1t is largely
composed Of young people OF rsnnsment
and intelligence. Yet there seems a dis
position among some OF its members t o
copy the worst features of the Salvation
iste. Such Is the scheme Of certain New
Jersey Christian Eodeavorers to get up
what they call "a bicycle run for Christ.
There Is no doubt that such familiarity
with sacred things, on the part of thoss
protesting Christianity, Injuries the cause
among non professing christians. The
Endesvorsrs are good people engaged
In good work. but the 'Tngersoll pray
ing match" and the New Jersey bicycle
run for Christ" are dangerously vulgar II
not blasphemous.
