The medical profession has discovered
and classified numerous disease germs
but these discoveries have not been of
very great benefit to mankind. DR..
Koch knows tuberculosis germ when
he sees it as we'll as horseman knows
a horse, but consumption goes right
along decimating the race about the
same as 1t did before the doctor was
born.
1t is probable that the little living
microbes, which make their appearance
during certain diseases, are no more
responsible for the diseases than the
maggots are responsible for the wounds
in which they appear. The poison
which causes disease may be quite a
different thing from the disease mi
crobes now known to the medical pro-
fession. 1t is not improbable that after
the poison has made its attack, nature
sends these little microscopic agents to
cleanse and clear away the dead atoms
of the body. The poisons which are the
enemies of life may yet be far out be-
yond the borders of the unknown.

l think there is quiet beauty In our
cemetery which almost charms one, and
robs the home of death of that gloom
with which habit and education sur
round it. Its beautiful walks, shaded
by trees and shrubs and spreading green
tops, look not like avenues of terror,
but of rest and makes one feel that here
at least there is quiet in the grave, then
too, do not the trees, which to the eye
die yearly but whose seemingly dead
branches again put forth leaves and
seem more vigorous and beautiful than
before, speak to us IN the language of
nature of another life, of progression
and of happiness?
Here too is the resting place Of those
who established the first societies OF the
Protestant churches, and almost under
the same sod, just across the way, lie
the dead of the Catholic faith Each
token of remembrance that marks a
grave in these silent cities of rest,
whether 1t be massive monument, or
the simple CROSS which speaks of Jesus
the Saviour of men, proclaims that
nothing dies but something mourns,
and we should so live that when sum
moned to that mysterious realm, we can
depart like one who draws the drapery
of his couch about him and lies down to
pleasant dreams" Mrs. l.. M. E.

Cecil Rhodes left colossal fortune,
smeared with tbs best blood of Great
-Hrlte!2 and the two Dutch republics of
South Africa. Some, however, consider
that In measure he atoned for his
errors by the remarkable requests con-
tanned in his will, but this view is not
shared in by Henry Labouchere, the
great English statesman and publisher.
In recent issue of his paper, "Truth,"
he suggests that "Mr. Cecil Rhodes
should have added to each of his schol-
arships, already worth 81 800 year for
three years apiece, proportionable life
annuity, in order to enable the Ameri-
can scholars, spoiled for business by an
Oxford education, to live decently and
honestly. He asserts that an Oxford
education is primarily intended to en-
able the young men acquiring 1t to en-
ter the class of amateurs and idlers. He
thinks that Mr.. Rhodes would have
done better to found scholarships for
English youths to study in the United
States, because there, In addition to
classroom work, they would learn to
feel ashamed to loaf around, or to de-
pend on their fathers for positions"

The mesgre peace terms, made pub

that the Beers have lost, comparatively
little as a result of the war. The Beers
keep their guns and their right to local
self government. They pay none of
the expenses of the war, but on the
contrary receive from Great Britain
$15,000,OO0 to rebuild their homes and
restock their farms. They acknowledge
the sovereignty of Great Britain, but
Great Britain claimed sovereignty over
the Transvaal before the war com.
