ITO very muck is made ot emit wonder- ful ;dory of the recent entombment and moue of Cornish miners, says tbe Lon. don News. There ought to be volumes of thrilling experience be those four days dur• Ing which the mine= were buried alive. It was a race with death on the paxt of the gallant relief party who were digging and boring and bleating eight and day to make their way into the blocked up mine ; while to the Men interred theen tour days must av.e glven a seeming eternity of emotions. ow -the trottale is all over the noveliat rasy make a romance of it, or the poet ring the story out in verse; but the narrative as yet told to us is impressive principally in, its eimplicity and in what It leaves to the irre egination. When the sand filled upthe workings the two miners found ri efuge n a chamber or "dead enae at such an elevation that the sand am not penetrate it.

But at other times they bad to wait patient- ly in total darkness, Tbe solace of com- panionsbip in such a terrible situation was something, but it was not complete. One of the men was deaf, 130 that even in compan- ionship, there was in this case eolitude. To theman who could hear, hie companion's deafness must have seented at times an ad. dition to his own misfortune. On. the other hand, when the rescue party were heard at work, what a boon, what a hope inspiring gift was Ids power of hearing 1 He was able to commumeate to his deaf companion • the joyous intimations that reached his ears, • for both men are said to have understood exactly what was being done in their behalf. Their own knocks upon their person wall gave fresh energy to their comrades outside gallantly tunnelling their way through tat rook toward them. No voice could pene- trate the barrier, as in the case of the Edin- burgh disaster many years ago, when from the ruins of a fallen house a buried victim was heard crying cheerily "Heave 'awe', lads; I'm no dead yet."

"The deterioration of maternity has been greatly exaggerated. Yet there is doubtless a tendency in that direction, and the mate. rialistio spitit of the age must 'shoulder the responsibility. Exceseive gaiety and dis- sipation work injuty to the nerve force. Bub the danger from social and intellectual maxims is much greater to a girl of four- teen, when she is in her transition stage, than to a fullfledged woman." "The destructive force of advancing civili- zation accounts for the decline of the family," said another physician. "Some of Phila. delphia's social leaders keep a restriction on the number of their children, partly be- cause they do not want the family inher- itance divided into too many portions. It is a potable fact that there is much more outside nursing done in New York and Bos- ton then in Philadelphia. If the physical welfare ot our girls were better attended to when theyare children future American mothers might be spared the humiliation of giving over their progeny to a hireling's care.' —Rhiladelphia Letter. The British Empire. The Queen of Great Britain is now sover0 eign over a continent, 100 peninsulas, 50- premontories, 1,000 lakes, 2,000 rivers and 10,000 Wands. She waves her hand and 900,000 warriors march tobattle to conquer or die. She bends her aead and at the sig- nal 1,000 ships of war and 100,000 Dentin perform her , bidding, on the ocean. She walks upon the earth, and 300,000,000 human beinge feel the least pressure of her foot. The Assyrian empire was nob so -populous. The Persian empire was not so powerful. The Carthaginian empire was not so much dreaded. The Spanish empire was not so widely diffused. The Roman power was -weak in, comparison, and Greece area as a -sinisAi village. Young Canada.

Deeis Woweetete, D D. Thankfulness Thankfulness should mingle with all our thoughts and feelings like the 'fragrance of ome perfume penetrating through the com- mon scentless air. It should embrace all events. If should be an operating motive in all actions, we should be clear-sighted and believing enough to be thankful for pain and disappointment and lots. That grati- tude will add the crowning consecration te service and knowledge and endurance. It will touch our spirits to the finest of all issues, for it will lead to glad self•surrender and make of our whole life a 'sacrifice Of praise. Our lives will then exhale in free granee and shoot up in flashing tongues of ruddy light and beauty, when kindled into a flame of gratitude by the glow of Christ's great love. True, a finite nature can . never contain the in- finite, but men's finite nature is capable of indeanite expansion. Its elastic walls stretch to contain the increasing gilt. The more we desire, the more we receive' and the more we receive the more we are able to re- ceive. The amount which filled our hearts to -day should not fill them tomorrow. Our capacity is at each moment the 'meriting limit of the measure of the strength given us. But it is always shifting, and may be continually increasing. The only real limit is "the might of His glory," the limitless omnipotence of the self -revealing God. To that we may indefinitely appreach and till we have exhausted God, we have not reached the farthest point to which we tented as- . pre. the barber and told lain) to out Ilia heir all over elike,thet he was tired of being attend and. that he would :sacrifice the 'long roam which covered the held spot and stead be. fore the world as he really was.

We have not gone so far as this in Canada. High-minded and honorable men yet take part in politics, and their honour is never called into question. Most of our leading statesmen have not profit- ed pecuniarily from their position in Par- liment, but have retired from politica poorer than when they entered them. The vitae of the time is sometimes reflected in the comic papers of a country, and no one who reads the numerous comic journals in the United States can doubt that the distrust of politics and politicians is universal. • J.
