AEIER VACATION.

Just as it is harder to set a ball in
motion than to keep it in motion, it
is harder to take up any line of work
again, after the summer vacation, than
to keep on with it.
The effects of the strain are seen in
changed looks, diminished appetite
and broken sleep.

According to Great Britain's official

of British money loaned to India, the
colonies and foreign countries in 1902
was S6.092, S5S ,S00-a big row of fig

They mean that the British people,
numbering 40,00O000, have invested
the savings OF centuries in land be-
yond the seas to the extent of about
SlO1 per capita for every man. wo-

One-half of all British Investments
abroadare estimated to be in foreign
countries. The interest paid yearly
