A philosopher has said that tree *duos-

ought to know when they beooms men."
1. To be true and to be genuine. No
education ie worth anything that does not
tooled* this.
2. To be pure in thought, language and
lite --pure in mind and in body.
3. To be unseltisb. To care for the feel-
ing* wed cessforts of other*. To be gener-
ous, noble and manly. This will inolods •

4. To be *elf.reliant and m!t hetptu!,even

hateable, that an idle lite of dependesm

--Undoubtedly the most .xlr•ordin*ry
township is England is that of Skidd•w, in
0.aberbod. It containt but one house,
the °coupler of whioh is unable to exeroise
the Briton's privilege of voting because
their is no overseer to prepare • voters' list
and no ohuroh or other plain of worship or
assembly on which to publish one.
The most remote village in England i.
that of Farley-cum-Pitton. This truly rur-
al spot is thirty miles and • half from the
nearest railway station. A. a wettest to
this may be mentioned the hamlet of Y.tred
about ten miles from C.rdiff. This tiny
settlement possesses two important main
roads, two railways and two large rivers.
A very unique feature is exolnsively
claimed by Trimley, • small -village in Suf-
folk. In the one ohorobyrd of the pariah
two ohorohm are to be men. Service is eon-
