when they marry an Indian they are
still white and live like white people,
teaching their children to do the same.
They send their children to the dis

whites. Our young men would marry

The Emperor of China, who rules
over 100000 subjects, is the
editor in chief of the oldest news
paper in the world.
The name of this unique jour
nal is the Pekin Gazette and it
has been getting out its one copy
a day, with few Interruptions, for
about 500 years.
A long time ago, l read very
scientific article taking up the
analysis of mineral waters, partic-
ular springs, the German spas,
etc, and from them it went on to
give the properties of any ordi-
nary, pure, spring water. "The
Spa" you know, is town of Bel

seven in number, all chalybeate,
and containing small quantities OF
iron so combined with alkaline
salts and carbonic acid gas as to
be both easily digested and agree

18th century; and from it other
mineral springs take the name

of the subject we have chosen for
our little, and what must prove,
faulty paper. London on the
Thames! London on the
Thames. Today those two prop
er name-words carry in their
arms, or on their back, mighty
significance! Could we put into
writing all they import, all that
they contain of Religion, of His
tory, of Commerce, of Peoples, of
Books. of Journalism, you would
see, at once, and at glance, that
they affect the world from it's CEN
tire to its circumference. The
Thames is today to the world in
an UNNECESSARILY larger sense,
what the mouth of the Nile was
to Egypt in point of civilization;
what the Tiber was to Rome.

You know that the Thames is
the most important river of Great
Britain and the longest of Eng

the Cotswold Hills; that it passes
Oxford, Reading, Windsor, Rich

ends in the North Sea. 1t is
navigable for barges for about 200
miles from it's mouth.
We had asked the father why
we could not make as good beer

A large journal always considers
itself fortunate to secure a good
"clipper" and if one cannot be a
good writer, it is laudable ambi-
