They have competed with us in our colleges and schools, they have frequently wrested the supremacy from us in those places of learning, and they ask: Why should they not be more largely entrusted with the government of their own country? Why, they ask, should they be compelled to come to England, against their means and, indeed, religion-to compete for en- trance into the civil service of India?

Because for the good of the country 1t should be 80. If examinations for high posts were thrown open to competition in India there is little doubt that the ma Jority of places would be captured by the Indians. They have a greater capacity for study and assimilating knowledge than the English boy. and they are not weighed down by the fetish of sport A larger number of Indian than English candidates would appear for examina- tion. and the European element would soon be dissolved from the services None but extremists can assert that such 0 state of affairs would not be disastrous , 'The presence of Europeans in the service in a majority is necessary But there is no reason why a larger number of places in the services should not be competed for in India.

A Favorite Corset for Lorqe Women

Just why people should especially enjoy seeing a large woman looking bright and well groomed and well posed nobody knows.
 But 1t is so. and that pleasing ef- feet Is due a good deal to wise choice of the outer dress. and stin more to the good foundation that comes only with corset especially adapted to a full figure.
