Canada,s Grand Old Man.

Among the notable men past the
prime of life who are prominent in
the ranks of the worlds leaders, Sena-
tor David Wark, Of New Brunswick,
is quite remarkable. On February
10th, he celebrated his one hundredth
birthday and he is still at his desk
every day. He has been senator
since 1867. The active man, whether
old or young, requires golden grain
belt beer as a tonic to save his
strength. When overtired this de-
lightful beverage will rest you quickly
and easily without the complete ex-
haustion which accompanies the
strain.

but how those who do it should be
treated.
Domestic service has fallen under
the ban largely because Of the atti-
tude which the employer has main
tanned toward the employee. The same
relations existing in other lines Of
work would probably have produced
like results. When the domestic SER
want comes to be treated with the
same consideration that is given to
the employee in almost any other line
of activity-for example, the artizan
or the clerk--the GREATEST objection
in the minds of those competent to
render such service to the place which
they must occupy would be removed,
and an occupation which Should en-
gage skill, experience and intelligence,
and which should be regarded as a
highly honorable occupation, will
command the service of it's share OF
workers. But until that condition OBJ
tains, we shall have the domestic
problem In it's present vexatious form,
or growing worse from year to year.

THE MARRYING AGE.

The dictum of Gov. Warfield that
girls should not marry until they are
t~enty-six has naturally caused con-
siderable discussion among those
Ioost interested-the girls themselves,
thelr parents, and the young men
VINO do not want to wait for a bride
until she is yerging on old-maiden-
hood.
The first question Of interest is a
matter Of fact: Are our girls gener-
ally marrying at too early an age?
Some light is thrown on this matter
by City Registrar McGlenan of Bos-
ton in the Globe of that city. He
shows that in the year 1902 out of
6,l72 brides, only 120, or little more
imam 2 per cent, were less than eight
cen. While more than half the total
number were under twenty-five, yet
4,l8O, more than two-thirds of the
whole number of brides, were mar
ried between the ages of twenty and
twenty-nine."
These figures, the Registrar thinks,
do not indicate that all girls are
marrying at an abnormally early
age" Other writer's on the subject
testify that marriage is entered into
by both sexes at later age than in
former generations in this country.
There are many reasons for this. The
growing independence of women, the
more extensive fields for their en-
ployment the Importance given to
education, operate to defer marriage,
as the increased cost of the welded
state deters many young men until
they can afford it."-New York

FAvoRs FROM DEsPoTIsM.

When we think of the power to do
good which rests with a despot like
the emperor of Russia and reflect that
under a government of the people re-
forms are often slow and tedious and
attended by much confusion and strife
we may be tempted to extol the ad-
yantages of despotism over democ-
racy. We compare the freedom of
the serfs of Russia by stroke of the
men with the long and bloody war that
resulted from slavery in this country.
The fallacy of such reflections, how
ever lies in the assumption that des-
rotism will continue to produce phi
ianthropists. The truth is that the
despot who succeeds the present des-
NOT ON the throne OF Russia may, by
inclination or the force of reaetionary
sentiment among the ruling classes,
overthrow all the benevolence of his
decessor.-Boston Globe.

is THE SUN COOLING Off

The question is being asked in
many quarters, Is the suns heat fail
ing? and the matter is being discuss
ed by the leading scientists of Eu-
rope.
That the sun is slowly cooling of
has come to be an accepted theory.
but how gradually is the difficult
question to find out. The earth is
slowly cooling of, too. but we have
no instruments correctly to measure
that fact. And yet we know that a
permanent change of only a few
points in the thermometer would
soon affect all life, animal and vege-
table.
The dependence of this globe upon
the sun is well understood and the
sun is constantly presenting new
mysteries to be solved.
And yet there is probably no cause
for alarm. The sun has served past
generations so well that they have
worshiped it and humanity will flour
ish in its kindly beams for many cen
turtles to come.-Boston Globe.

ON UNCONSCIOUS COURTESY.

In the "Joy of Living" papers ap-
pearing in the Delineator Lilne Ham
ilton French, in the September mum
Der, writes on unconscious expression
in childhood, and speaking of the ne
cessity of implanting precepts of
courtesy and hospitality while the
child is young, gives this apt and
amusing illustration: There is an old
story told of a lady of rank who mar.
ried her footman. She managed to
train him into the semblance of a
gentleman, and his appearance in the
drawing-room was not bad. He be-
haved well, and with propriety-ex-
cept when he heard a bell ring! Then
he started. To jump when bells were
rung had been a second nature with
him as footman. 1t is always the
training in early and impressionable
years that makes the second nature
of the mature. The fullgrown man
or woman can, of course, begin a self
training, as this lady of rank began a
training of her husband. The task
is more difficult. Even the cells of
the brain get into ways of respond
ing to certain impressions, and al
though a thought held to will trans
form the very nature of man, there
ought to be no need of transforma-
ton in our manners. They should be
formed in the early, plant, receptive
days of childhood"

INCENTIVES TO WAR.

Every formal treaty or arbitration
will aid wonderfully in molding public
sentiment against war and smoothing
the way to other similar treaties. The
example of the great militant coun-
tries will have persuasive influence
upon the small nations which are now
taxing their slender resources to main
tain armies and navies to be ami
hilated in the first encounter with a
stronger power. Land hunger, en-
pire-building, absorption of weak coun-
tries by the powerful. the combative
savage, fighting instinct surviving civ
ilization, traditional racial hate, mill
tary glory, it must be admitted, give
q tremendous impetus to war. These
incentives to grave international con-
fiicts cannot be removed at once. 1t
must be a gradual process.-Philadel-
phia Press.

DEATH AND THE FEAR OF 1T.

George Meredith is reported to
have said in a recent interview that
doctors and parsons are doing harm
by increasing the fear of death and
making the English less manly. mo
one he added, should consider
death or think of it as worse than go
ing from one room to another" For
his own part, he says, he hopes he
shall die with a good laugh"
There is no objection to joyous
ness, even on the solemn occasion of
passing from this form of existence to
one of which we know nothing except
by faith. All the same, a frivolous
laugh seems to be an affection of cour-
age rather than genuine heroism.
Death is no joke for those who go or
for those who are left behind. One
may say with the trust of Emerson:
The God who has led me so gracious
ly all through this life can trust
wherever he leads me. '-Syracuse

NO INTERVENTION LIKELY.

A late dispatch from Paris stated
that there is a strong and growing of
fetal feeling there that France, Great
Britain and the United States should
endeavor to avert the danger of
Japan's victory being so great that
she may become the dominating pow
er in the far east. 1t is quite likely
that, French sympathy being with
Russia, there is such a feeling as re-
ported, but it will have no influence
either in England or the United
States, the people of both these coun-
tries having no disposition or desire
to interpose any obstacle to Japans
success. Neither is there any appre-
henslon in the English-speaking coun-
tiles as to Japan becoming the domi-
mating power in the far east.-Omaha

SWIMMING THE BEST EXERCISE.

Then, when the athlete returned to

water polo, the needle would again
be brought into play and a second
sample of blood drawn. Analysis of

exercise increased the number of red

RIGHTS OF HUSBAND AND WIFE.

Without inviting discussion of this
thorny question, ! may say that my
own opinion is-supposing anybody
wants it-that husbands rights are
what he can get My view of a wife's
rights is the same. Whether 1t is
wise for either party to get all that
he Tor she) can is question of ex-
pediency, to be decided according to
circumstances and individual inclina-
ton. The governing principle of the
