almost exactly reversed. and over so

between the car representing the Sou

After referring in a laudatory manner
to the British campaigns in India and
in the Soudan, the premier turned to

Turning to the crisis with France
the premier remarked I'VE have had
quite recently to consider whether the
question Of a European war was not
very near. But the result has turned
out happily through the great judg-
ment and common sense displayed by
France under circumstances of unusual
difficulty. There has been some sur
prise on both sides of the channel at
the fact that war preparations have
not suddenly ceased. But it is impos-

The Marquis of Salisbury did not an
nounce a British protectorate over

That is one of the sublimest lines in all

Men seldom do.
Woman's most glorious endowment is
the power to awaken and hold the pure

she loses it and still loves on, no one in

from weakness and arrangement of her
