has just shown in The London Times,
there has been a steady, progressive
diminution in the drink bill, amount
ing for the whole period ~ $4,000, OOO
The decrease in 1905 over 1904 alone
was $25 600 900. 1t is said that some of
the largest brewing companies are
perilously near bankruptcy, with dim
inishing sales in spite of the increase
of population though DR.. Burns cal
culates that the total expenditure Of
the United Kingdom for alcoholic
drinks distilled and fermented, was
last year $500, 900. This would seem
to give a large margin for further re-
duction. Excise receipts have fallen
off by nearly $2O,OOO,OOO, but no Chan
celor of the Exchequer will regret a
deficit on that account for it marks,
as the detailed analysis shows amelio-
ration especially among the poorer
classes, and is paralleled, not unnatur-
ally, by the increase in the same quar-
ters of savings bank deposits.
The inference from this, and from
every similar example, of which the
course of human progress is full that
now that freedom in this matter has
been given the people of the Territory,
now that the responsibility has been
placed on them, now that the presence
or absence of saloons in their immedi-
ate localities, is, in some degree, put
upon the people themselves, it is inc
vitable that they will give it their at
tention, that the evils of drink viii be
considered, and that in the end, slow
ly it may be, but in the end, righteous
sentiment shall be felt and make itself
felt.
Let there be any degree of amend
ment of the liquor law that may seem
necessary to meet conditions, but let
there be no surrender of the principle
that the people themselves in their sew
eral localities, shall have both power
and responsibility i'm the matter

THE POWER OF ATTENTION
When Exceptional it Results in Geniu:
or in Great Accomplishments.

The fact that the mind of man ia
easily distracted from any subject in
contemplation accounts for the slow
ness Of the development of most minds
and for the extreme Slowness' of the
development of the human mind col
lectively. There are historical periods
when general enlightenment seems to
hav. advanced by leaps and bounds.
but when one takes cognizance of the
tens of thousands of years that man
has been at play in the kindergarten Of
creation one is aware of the very
gradual and deliberate character of
human progress as a whole and this
deliberativeneSS of growth and the re-
mians of ignorance and superstition
even in minds regarded az educated
comes largely from the inability Of
men to keep their thoughts employed
steadfastly on the various objects and
problems of matter, mind and life The
faculty of attention is strikingly lack
ing in the savage man: it Increases as
civilization increases. and is a large
factor in the advance of civilization and
Of culture
When the power of attention Is ex-
ceptional in the individual he is. set
apart from his fellows; he is a genius
in the business world. or perhaps a
poet. artist. inventor. discoverer.
philosopher, reformer. statesman. or
conqueror. When the power of atten-
tion in community has been stimulat-
ed by one attentive mind or by q
group of attentive minds the world
passes through periods of great mental
activity; great reforms take place:
there is great material or intellectual
advance. or there are revivals in letters
and in the plastic arts.

The Chinese View Of Calling Cards.

The Chinese woman has calling
substitute called a cardc de visite 1t
is really a sort of social information
bureau, as it conveys to the recipient
the name of the caller, her address
and the day on which she is to he
found in her own house beyond qucS-
ton. If | should call on Monday when
her card" read Thursday" she would
send down word by the maid. who
would report to the doorkeeper,
generally a negro. that she was mot
at home" You will remember how
the missionaries impressed upon us
that truth" was the cornerstone Of
Christianity. But I digress.
Now these calling cards" could be
mailed or sent by servant just as
well, for the visiting lady does not go
in. She rides up to the house in state.
the footman opens the door. receives Il
card. delivers it to the servant and
thew proceed to the next house on the
list which the driver carries. Now the
curious part of this ceremony is that
the party called upon does not know
that the lady called i'm person. and
there is consequently no objection to
the caller putting herself to the
trouble. but it is the "fashion."-The
