ASoUITH'S PREDICTION.
Striking One Made by Eneland's New
Premier That Has Come True.

Striking One Made by England's New
Premier That Has Come True.
Herbert Henry Asquith. who sue.
seeded the late Sir Henry Campbell
Zimmerman as prime minister of Eng
land, has been in turn a member OF
parliament, privy counselor, secre-
tary of the state home department,
ecclesiastical commissioner. chancellor
of the exchequer and, lastly. premier.
He is one of the most cultured men in
the cabinet, for from his earliest days
che has been an enthusiastic student.
In his school days his one dream was
to rise to political power. He cared
for no sport His chief recreation
was reading verbatim parliamentary
reports in the newspapers. Apropos
of this it is told how he used to Dor
row copy of the London Times
every morning from friendly news
agent and go out and read it. sitting
under the hedge of the cricket field.
while his schoolfellows were enjoying
games AS barrister he has won
success which attends only q very
small proportion of those who so in
for the law. but it has been the out
come of much striving. for Mt first he
met with reverses on every hand. He
has said that it was the greatest day
of his life when he got into parlia-
ment. His enthusiasm on that occa
sion was so marked that when parlia
ment opened he told Il fellow member
that one day he would be prime minis
ter and was laughed ut for his pains.
AS q strong man Mr. AsQuith is il
class by himself. He combines with
the fearlessncss and pugnacity OF
Roosevelt the taciturnity and cyGicisn
of Choate. the wide intellectually OF
the late John Hay and the debating
ability of Bryan. No man in British
public life can stand against him in 0
forensic battle. He is lawyer by
training. the greatest lawyer in Eng
land. and he is as merciless in the
house of commons as if he were con
Quoting Il cross examination.

sunburn and Health.

Again are many young men and mai
denS with not a few of their elders,
walking, running and variously riding
about the country with heads barred to
the sun. They do this, despite many in
cidental discomfortS and decided dim
mutton of such personal charms as they
may possess, from a notion that such
exposure somehow conduces to health
We cannot at the moment think of
any belief that has less of fact for
foundation than this one, since it has
none at all. On the contrary, for
white man or woman to go bareheaded
under the trOpic sun of an American
summer is distinctly and seriously in
furious, a statement that cannot be
doubted by anybody who will give
little intelligent consideration to the
known effects of fervid sunlight on
lightly augmented skins, or who will
call to mind how the more successful
and brainy races living in hot countries
dress themselves.
The Arab, though a swarthy fellow,

garment before he ventures on a desert

cessities, but the men who through the
centuries have thus protected them
selves have survived and prospered,
while those who did not do it have died
out or have sunk to the level of COM
monest laborers, stupid and hopeless.
This is the lesson of universal expert
ence, but it is unheeded by our bare
headed brigade, who cling to the delu-
sion that anybody who is deeply
tanned must inevitably be in rugged
health. AS matter of fact, tan has
nothing to do with health, except as it
is a protection from sunburn, and as it
usually goes with an outdoor life and
the inhalation of much fresh air. In
stinct, the infallible guide. prompts
everybody except negroes to keep in the
shade when the sun is hot and bright;
it is only fallacious reasoning from in

she, and not the world, is in fault.
The ministry of woman is one of self
sacrifice; and in proportion to her
cheerful acceptance of it, will she
attain to her greatest happiness. Ev-
cry woman can be useful and beloved,
if she wishes TO be so. No surroundings
ings are so hopeless that she cannot
find some good to do or make place
for herself, from which her going
would leave a dreary void. Let the
one who is unhappy and who finds
fault with circumstances bravely ac-
cept her fate; and, if she believes
there is nothing in life for her, let
her try to rescue some one else from
sadness: let her give her heart and
soul to some useful work, and in the
moment that she ceases to think of
self, will she commence to live the
full and beautiful life that God in
tended all women should live, when
He placed upon their shoulders the
royal mantle of suffering. Let her
be kind. unselish and loving and she
will soon find others the same way
to her; for after all the world is not
so cold and unappreciative as it
seems, and in the words of the old
song. Give the best that you have and
the best will come back to you"
