"Let It Rain! :"

The genius of Providence IS surely
nowhere better demonstrated than In
the invention of rain. Men of science
have reduced the mechanisms of the
phenomenon to the approximation of
mere mathematics, but to the lay
public, unskilled in appreciation OF the
law of cause and effect. the spectacle
OF water falling from the sky is Just
n miracle, a wonderful miracle, and
nothing more. The average citizen
does not know how it happens, nor
does he greatly care. All that matters
Is that, when the heat of the sun has
drawn up from the earth and the sea
0 sufficient burden of moisture, clouds
form and, disintegrating, permit the
food to descend in torrential downpour
or gentle showers, as the case may be.

Canada Borrows in London.

While the American people this week
were registering their unshatterable
confidence In the credit of the United
States by oversubscribing an $3.50 ,000,-
900 issue Of Government bonds, Canada
| was arranging to borrow ELS 100000 in
London. The loan was offered to
the British public yesterday and was
heavily oversubscribed. The amount
Is of no particular Importance some
$65. 100000 or $70,000,oOO in dollar
value at current exchange rates. But
other aspects Of the transaction are
noteworthy.
In the first place it is the first and
prompt fruit of the all-British Empire
currency stabilization compact formed
by Great Britain and her overseas do
minions on the heels Of the recent
World Economic Conference. Secondly,
the loan marks Canada's return to
dependence on the British rather than
the American money market. The Do
minion for the past twenty years-ever
since pre-war days-has been doing
practically all her external financing in
New York, where Canadian credit re-
manned consistently high. Now Canada
breaks from the United States dollar
and plights her faith anew in the
British pound sterling. The loan Is
designed beyond all shadow of doubt
to strengthen the empires sterling bloc
while Canada evinces the plain purpose
of associating herself more closely with
the British monetary unit and stabiliz-
ing in terms Of the netherlands pound
The sterling bloc becomes very tangi-
BILE reality in the presence of Great
Britain's readiness to lend to the coun-
tries within it.
The wide discount Of the Canadian
dollar in relation to the United States
dollar has, Of course, operated against
the profitable hotation Of Dominion
loans in the American market. This
factor, plus the empire stabilization
plan, sufficiently explains why Canada
now Is borrowing in Threadneedle
Street, rather than Wall Street. But
from every standpoint the present
transaction is great imperial gesture
and bound to fortify the empire move
ment" which set in with the Ottawa
Conference of 1882.
G. Howard Ferguson, Canadian high
commissioner at London, sees in the
Dominion loan an answer to "the
economic nationalist isolation Of the
United States and the European gold
bloc and recognition by the British
Empire countries of the importance Of
their position and their mutual re-
sponsibilities The realm on which
the sun never sets is very evidently
bent on padding its own financial
canoe as long as the rest of the world
insists, as it has just done in London,
upon remaining an international house
hopelessly divided against itself. Viewed
from that standpoint the Canadian
loan in London assumes symptomatic i'm
portance That it will be an immense
success is a foregone conclusion, for our
great neighbor to the North is a gilt
edged credit risk" The loan will bear
four per cent interest, and will be Of
fered at par and repaid at the latest in
1858, with the right of redemption in
1853 and after. A sinking fund Of one
per cent annually for redemption will
be established.

thing or other Is philosopher Of the
every day.
There win be enough occasion, no
doubt, in his personal life for temporary
recriminatton without putting himself
at the mercy Of every boor who scrapes
a chair into his back.
There Is always some one doing It;
why let 1t trritate one?
If it irritates anyway, as 1t SO often
does, why show it?
Repression Is supposed to be bad for
the human spirit. but that theory must
be taken with two grains of salt in hot
weather.
The progress of intellectually aroused
heat through the human frame is out
ward, always outward. Explosive words
are no surer a relief than silence. Peo-
pie just think they are.
One must remember what 1t is about.
If the matter Is momentous, drastic
action, in word and deed, may be
necessary.
Not even the most irritable person
would say, however, that this fellow
who stares SO rudely at a stranger in
a public place is deserving of the food
gates OF ones wrath turned loose upon
him.
A little well placed contempt is bet
ter and a great deal more cooling.
Let moralists say what they will,
contempt has its place, as well as re-
venge.
The sweets Of the better types of
revenge are well known; they have
triumphed largely over the centuries.
Ages have come and gone, but .
decent revenge, according to the fair
standards Of righteous men, Is not to
be sneered at. Often this revenge is
often nothing more than a failure to
get angry.
Contempt of the better sort is some
thing to daily with in tight places.
There comes time in the average life
when there is no better way, nothing
more apt to be done, nothing truer to
the self, than to reflect in contempt on
the words or deeds Of some other.
Whether one allows this attitude to
temperament. Either way, 1t is sooth-
ing not only to the vanity of the sub
ject, but also to his mechanism Of heat
and cold.
There Is the closest relation between
physical and mental states, one SO i'm
posed upon the other that there is no
separating them, except at the point
where they join.
Where this point is few know, even
doctors, who are supposed to. The best
the average human being can do is to
be mighty sure that he is angry when
he becomes angry.
Let him fix a certain percentage Of
ire as his standard of what anger
should be, in his own case then he
will not so readily fly OF the handle,
60 around with a chip on his shoulder
put himself so at the mercy Of
strangers.
Petty honor Is one Of the states Of
mind which has been laughed quietly
out of existence during the past hun
dred years. Like dueling, it Is no more.
Neither was more than a ready excuse
for unrestrained anger and the love Of
fight.
The modern chip on the shoulder
is a pale imitation Of an ancient priv
ilege mean and contemplate in the
light OF a new day. 1t is a failure
to take life easily. an attenuation Of
force and power needed for times when
q frank and ready anger serves a good
purpose.
