Life Guards

The Lie Guards are two regiments Of
calvary forming part Of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart IS
proud OF them. Not only the King 5
household. but yours, ours everybody s
should have its life guards. The need Of
them is especially great when the great
est foes Of life, diseases, find allies in the
very elements, as colds. influenza. ca
tarrh, the grip and pneumonia do In the
stormy month of March. The best way
that we know of to guard against these
diseases is to strengthen the system with
Hoods Sarsaparilla-the greatest Of all
life guards. II removes the conditions ia
which these diseases make their most
successful attack. gives vigor and tope
to all vital organs and functions. and
imparts genial warmth to the blood.
Remember the weaker the system the
greater the exposure to disease. Hood 8
Sarsaparilia makes the system strong.

Russia in Asia.

In less degree, but still to sub
stantial purpose, the faculty pos
sessed by the Russians of consorting
with Asiatics and eventually assimilat-
ing them provides the Slav empire with
weapon against it's Anglo-Saxon
rival. Russian rule is not humane, or
just, or honest. The British is. But,
for all that, the natives of Asia prefer
the former All their life, as nations,
they have been accustomed to arbi-
trariness and cruelty on the part of
their chiefs, and they entertain a dis
tinct fancy for the license of anarchy.
Where they are vulnerable is in their
amour-proper. Their social dignity is
deareF to them than most things. 1t is
in this connection that the Russian
scores. Far from asserting any SUI
periority of race over the Asiatics, he
will not only mix freely and Familiarity
with their kind, but actually lower
himself before them by flatterine
them. In the inferior grades of So
ciety this absence of ethic pride leads
to- the marriage of the Russian with
the native and to the gradual fusion of
the two. Thus Russia in her onward
march may devastate and commit
other horrors, but at the same time she
propitiates and assimilates. Her
reputation for tact and good-comrade-
ship precedes her and facilitates her
task. Great Britain, on the other hand
confers all the Blessing of an en-
lightened rule on her subjects, but the
impression of it is effaced in theil
hearts by the disdain of the. Anglo
Saxon for the Niger" which appears
in his aloofness, his literature and often
in deliberately perpetrated acts. The
British present themselves in Asia as
irreducible strangers, not even as per-
manent residents, but as fitting
shadows, ever replacing one another on
account of the climate.-The Nine
teenth Century.

notions which l should like to put to
the proof.
| Education begins with the memory,
continues through the judgment, and
eliminates in the will. Therefore it
must reach it's highest stage in an
! atmosphere of liberty. To teach a
boy to be good is a fine thing; to fit
him to choose to be good is a finer.
| "A few subjects well taught will do
more for boy than many subjects
skinned. Training comes by dis
cipline. not by examining. Our schools
have too many branches and too lit
tie education.
THE three arts by which education
does its best work are very simple;
the art of seeing, the art of reading,
the art of thinking. The boy who
learns to see is awakened; the boy
who learns to read is enriched; the boy
who learns to think is emancipated.
He can live his own life at first hand.
| The third best thing that a teacher
can give q boy is knowledge. The sec
Ond best thing is desire for more
knowledge. The very best thing is
the resolve, to use that knowledge for
the highest good of mankind"
