RHEUMATISM


Rheumatism does not and go with winter

Spring and Summer than at any other season. When
the blood IS charged with Uric Acid Alkali and other
irritating polsons, then the system is in the right
condition for Rheumatism to develop and an attack
is liable to come at any time, Winter or Summer.

Letter Rates in Italv.
tome Corr. Pail Mall Gazette

Stamp collectors will soon have another
Italian stamp to add to their collections
that of ID centfmes-and, 1t is thought
after the postal congress In April, will at
tach more value to that of 25 centimes as 1t
will likely go out of circulation. Italy is
now obliged to reduce her internal letter
rates (hitherto very high) from Cd to I'D,
as the law already passed prescribes, of
course thereby reducing her revenue very
considerably: but she was constrained to
do so. or otherwise she would have been
placed In very peculiar position at the
coming congress, which will be held in
Rome. There 1t will be proposed to reduce
international letter rates from 2Izd to I'd.
so II italy held to her former rates her cfti-
zens would pay as much for letter from
Rome to Frascati ian hour by raiD as from
Rome to India.
AS the home rates are to be reduced.
there are some who would like radical
change, making 1t uniform penny post
age, as In England, while now. although 1t
Is I'd. In the provinces. It is only a half
penny in tho city. This, however. Is far
too radical for the Italians, who Hike to
come to their improvements In gradual
way. or when they are dragged out OF them
by the force OF circumstances. Apropos OF
the high letter rates, peasant once went
into Rome post ONCE to send letter to
Frascatt When he was told It would be- I'd.
he thought Il more than he could AFFORD
and then said: ''I'H tell you what I'll do.
II you viii send II for a penny IL may gos''
And to this day he considers himself very
badly used because his offer was declined.

From the Japan Mail.
The death Is announced of Mr.. Ozaki
Tokutaro, who, under the nom de plume of
Koyo Sanjin, shares with Prof Tsubouchi
the honor OF having introduced the modern
style of novel writing In Japan. All the
novels of former days. notably those Of the
celebrated Bal1in, were written partly IN
so-caIled colloquiaI and partly in ornate
literary sentences, and we can remember
with feelings of still poignant bewider-
ment how the unhappy foreign student of
Japanese in very early days used to pore
over these ancient novels. hoping to dis
cover in their pages some models for mod
ern colloquial construction. and not recog-

career that even the conversations put into

making the actors and actresses move and
speak as naturally as they do In most
novels of the west. which Is not very nat

followed in Prof. Tsubouchis footsteps with
distinguished success. He has died at the
early age of thirty-seven, carried on by
that terrible scourge OF Japan. cancer OF
the stomach. He spent three years In the
Imperial University. but never graduated,
his mind even then being filled with roman
tic ideas.
It is related of him that though he could
never write satisfactory answers to the
scientific questions propOunded by his ex-
anliners, the unscientific answers that he
did write astonished the faculty by their

composer of haikwai (the seventeen ideo-

extremely productive, and will enable
us to support All immense population.
Whatever will bring this about will
prove a blessing TO the entire state.
Up in the northern part of Montana
there are several cooperative irriga-
ton colonies. One of these is be
tween three and four years old. The
members of the colony built their own
ditch. and the repairs and improve
meats have cost them sixty-fve cents
per acre per year. A good index OF
their progress is shown in the fact
that the receipts Of Great Northern
station there have increased in three
Years from $1,000 or $4,000 to over
100000 per annum. The colony was
started by poor people, and if you
want to see the progress made, go
there today and try to buy some of
their land.
The whole scheme of the irrigation
law is that it is a home builder; it was
not enacted so that companies could
secure immense tracts of land for
grazing or for farm purposes; it was
passed so hat every forty-or even
twenty acres-should a%bundantly sup
pert the ordinary family and allow
them to live in comfort. educate the
children. and save something for a
rainy day. Where irrigation has been
tried-even where the water has had
10 be bought Of private companies-it
has proved to be a ho.ee-builder.
How much more should be the case,
where the government takes charge of
the irrigation. and puts the water or
the land at cost?
The expenditure Of this money
should be of much value to every in
terest in the state. but above all is the
success which comes from the build
ing of numerous homes. surrounded

Cor. g. "A 27)

The silent battles are sometimes the
greatest, the ones we talk the least
about sometimes the most terrible.
And, down beneath the surface, many
a young man is fighting a great bat
tie, the battle for manhood. 1t Is
great battle, and an awful one. Some
times one feels as If 1t were an impos-
sible one, this struggle for self-mas-
terry. How many young men, even
in Christian homes, and perhaps with.
In the Church, have dark memories Of
black struggles with a demon in their
own lives. These are the battles be
ing silently fought out in every city,
in every town, and in every country
settlement in the land. What Is to be
done for those in the fight? In the
first place they must know. What a
weight of responsibility rests on the
parents, the pastors and those who are
nearest the boys who are just passing
from childhood to youth! But what
message has Christianity to boy be-
cause he Is boy? What message has
Christianity to young man because
he Is man?-the message of help, the
message of victory.
unsullied it comes as a power to help

ton. II some chains of vice have been
fastened around him 1t comes as a
power to break them and set them

offers him forgiveness and victory yet.
If he Is a young man whose life is
clean and true it will support him and
keep him so, and its spirit will make
him help to others in their strug.
giles.
Christianity Is not power which
is impotent in life's most fundamental
battles. The Saviour stands at the
door of boyhood with all its physical
battles; he stands at the door OF
youth as the tides of life rise high;
he stands at the door of young man

through his veins, and as the battle
which makes man a master, or re-
duces him to slavery, Is fought the
Saviour proffers help. We are not to
go to the Master with surface battles
and leave others 20 be- fought out
alone. Let us tale every battle to
him. tell him the whole struggle, the
whole defeat. 1t may be, and in him
ind help and the power that gives
victory. To be a man-to fight mans
battles and win mans victory-this
Is possible with the help of Him who,
though man. never suffered defeat.
