Tn. Mikado's Advice to Boys.

In view of the astounding progress
of Japan it is interesting to recall the
following rescript which was issued by
the Emperor to the Japanese schools
some Is years ago: BE filial to your
parents and affectionate to your broth
ers: be loving friends, conduct your
selves with modesty and be benevolent
to all. Develop your intellectual fac.
ulties and perfect your moral powers
by gaining knowledge and acquiring a
profession. Promote public interests
and advance public affairs. Ever re-
spect the national constitution and
obey the laws of the country, and, in
case of necessity, courageously sacri-
fee yourselves to the public good"
Recent events have proved that the
last Injunction was taken to heart by
the youth of Japan.-Graphic.

1t is a pity that there exists bat
tie of the gauges" in India. for rail-
way progress is considerably embar-
raised in consequence. The two
gauges used are 5 feet 6 inches and
8 feet 8 IL inches. the latter being
the metre gauge. Over the new rail-
way bridge at Calcutta, for instance.
it is proposed to carry two tracks OF
3 feet 31-S inch gauge. though the
lines at present there are 5 feet 8
inches. Nevertheless, the progress
in Indian traffic is very good. During
the last year there have been opened
1872 miles of new track. which. though
1t may seem little when compared
with the tremendous mileage OF In
dia railways, is yet equal to Glasgow

Rubbing heavy lace curtains causes

powdered borax you wish, for borax
will not injure the most delicate fab

and when dry have some one help

is to wash them in a washing ma.

CANDY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.

Give children plenty of pure sugar,

Woman's Home Companion.
In short, sugar is, after meat,
bread and butter. easily our next most
important and necessary food. You
can put the matter to test very
easily. Just leave of the pie. pud-
ding or other desserts at your lunch
or midday dinner. You'll be aston

empty again, and how unfinished
the meal will seem. You can't get
any workingman to accept a dinner
pail without pie in 1t. And he's alb
solutely right. The only thing that
can take the place Of sugar here is
beer or wine. 1t is a significant fact
that the free lunch counters run in
connection with bars furnish every i'm
aginable thing except sweets. Even
the restaurants and lunch grills at
tached to saloons or bars often refuse
to serve desserts of any sort. They
know their business! The more sugar
and sweets a man takes at meal,
the less alcohol he wants. Converse
ly, nearly every drinking man will
tell you that he has lost his taste
for sweets. The more candy nation
consumes, the less acohol.
THE United States government buys
pure candy by the ton and ships 1t
to the Philippines to be sold at cost
to the soldiers in the canteens. All
men crave it in the tropics, and the
more they get of it, the less vino and
whiskey they want.

QUEEN MARY's HOUSE.

From time to time most interesting
historical relics come before the pub
lie through the medium of the auc-
tioneer. The latest example of this
is Queen Mary's house in Jedburgh
and some old tapestry which 1t has
contained. Jedburgh has many points
of interest. 1t has the ruins OF an
interesting old abbey and some of the
Jethart pear trees, which are believed
to have stood from period before
the Reformation According to Mr..
James Tate, it had strong castle
at the highest part Of the town, and
some of the mansions were in the
form of bastile houses, the defensive
character being requisite as protec-
'tion against English invaders. or
these houses the most interesting
specimen now remaining is one in
which Queen Mary lay sick for some
time after her ride Of fifty miles over
moor and moss to visit Boutwell, at
Hermitage Castle. where he had been
wounded by the banditti of Liddes-
dale. The bed occupied by the Queen
at the time of her illness is now at
Abbotsford, having been presented to
Sir Walter Scott. There is a mass
of corroborative evidence Of the
Queens visit. In his History of
Scotland" Buchanan relates The incid-
ent connected with Boutwell,, as do
many other authorities. The tapestry
which covered the walls of the room
is said to have been worked by the
court ladies' while they waited for the
