This is all very interesting, but the scheme of extermination for the mats and safe- ty and eneourageeteut for all other forms of life is hardly a novelty. Articles for which the same elaims are made have been on the market for some time and good results have been obtained from them. .Puts have been known to appear• in the old haunts, however, after a promising clean -sip. They become. • wary of the traps and exercise a -ctfzn .•:that„ seems almo - igalmost . sopor= natural. The crying need is for. a systematic campaign of extermin-• Mien in which the whole human race shall take part. San Francisco set the example when its people were frightened by the bubonic plague. It carried on an unremitting warfare whose ef- fects were most beneficial, and other coast cities went to work in the same fashion and achieved like results. As an incident of the cam- paign there was a general improve- ment inthe matter of cleanliness. There was a better disposition than there had been of garbage and all manner of filth, The subject should attract the attention of city authori- ties everywhere, because it -con- cerns both the public health and the protection of property. Rats spread disease, destroy annually many millions of dollars' worth of merchandise and food, and cause much damage indirectly. Experi- ence demonstrates that they de- serve all that is coming to them and still some more for full measure. is The German officers still continue. to believe that an invasion of Eng wind would be practicable. While the English fleet is vastly superior to that of Germany, . yet plenty of occupation would be found for English ships elsewhere than in the Channel, and the German war ves- 'eels might hope to control the crossing of that narrow strip of water. • Once in England win 200,- 000 men it is believed that. the Eng- lish would not be able to expel the army, but it could dictate peace in London. We simply reiterate our firm belief, that this is a chimera, and that the Garman officers might well study the remark of the negro who narrowly escaped drowning while undergoing immersion.

GERMAN TOURIST INDUSTRY. Protected by New Regulation, Drastic but Just and Practical. Germany appreciates more and more every year the financial bene- fits accruing from "the tourist in- dustry," and is especially desirous. of, attracting American travellers, because they are most lavish of all in the expenditure of -money. Tourists generally will be inter- ested.in the new regulations which aro to go into force on the Ger- man railways on the first of hext month, They are drastic, which is pot an unusual quality in German rules, and on the whole they seem to be just and practical, Tapping of railway employes on 'trains .1s prohibited; passengers giving tips. will be punished. The railway will be responsible fee passongers''s baggage far fourteen, days and at all times. responsible for luggage lost, Children over ten years will not be permitted to travel in coin- s a`tments reserved for women.

Lesson VII. ,Paul's First Missi'oa- my Journey. Golden Text, Psalm 96: 5. Introduction. — Tho greater the' work a man endeavors to do, the greater the obstacles that he will meet, and the more numerous they will be. It is a principle of phy sits that resistance increases a the square of the velocity. Paul' work, like that of all true Chris bans, was very great, and therefor it encountered formidable ob staeles. But these hindrances wer overcome, in Ohrist's strength; and the process of overcoming them strengthened Paul, as it will strengthen es. I. The Obstacle of Disobedience. —Vs. 1-7, Whither did the mission- aries -flee when driven from Ante *oh 1 To Iconium, about seventy - Sive miles southeast. For most of the way they traveled along the great Roman road connecting Anti- och with Lystra, turning from it to the left before reaching Lystra. Iconium was an important com- mercial city, situated among luxur- iant orchards. The Seljuk Turks .made it the capital of their em- pire. The modern town, still called Xenia, is greatly` shrunken. It is the terminus of a railway to the Bosphorus. II, The Obstacle of Temptation to Pride.—Vs. 8-18. To what new surroundings did Paul and Bar- nabas go? To a region of Lycao- moria, region being a technical term, a part of the country "consisting of two cities and a stretch of city - less territory (i.e,, territory organ- ized on the native ,pre -Greek vil- lage system)." Lystra was the ca- pital of Lycaonia, Wolf -land, the name being supposed to be derived. from Lycaon, who was transformed into a wolf -a name well befitting the inhabitants, The missionaries went theither "as sheep in the midst of wolves" (Matt. 10 10). It was a wild region, cut off by the Taurus from the, more cultivated Cilicia and Pisidia. It was adreary plain, destitute of trees and fresh water, with only salt lakes. III.

All these gains had come not without difficul- ty, but through consecration, self- aacrifice, courage, and confident trust.

African of the second and third generation speak and write of ENGLAND AS "HOME," Now, Canada presents herself to the' incoming American and Galician —to' take two extreme types—in an exceedingly favorable, light. Each comes to better his 'material con- dition; and unless he is incompet- ant, or worse, he suooeeds. Fin- ancial prosperity will go a long way to reconcile a man to the in- stitutions of au alien country. But the Galician and the American find" something more than better finan- cial prospects. ' .The Galician be- comes a new man. The bugbear of military service does not rise up behind him, or before his children. He is in a world of unexpected in dependence, He knows nothing about the Empire, and he cares less. But Ise Boos learn something about Canada, and contentment with, aril devotion to ,the land of his adop- tion are as much as can reasonably be expected from him for some time. A British imperial instinct cannot be created in him in a moment. The American is very different from the Galician. He- thinks he has observed England through the as- sertions of the Declaration of In- dependence, and through the conon- ets achieved by various heiresses. whom he knows by repute. He was brought up in the tradition that Canada never did and never could mount to much; and, when he be- ame convinced that the country ad fertile lands, good markets and oscellent dividends to offer for his enterprise, he moved in, still think - ng of the United States as the first, econd and third country of all the world.

General Baden-Powell Great Be- Never in English Boys. There is no greater believer in the possibilities of the : boys of' Great Britain than Lieutenant- General ieutenant- General. Baden-Powell, the founder of the troops of boy scouts through- out the country. And there is no more picturesque personality in military annals to -day than the man who has shown.boys that while "playing at soldiers" they can gain. great knowledge, and de- velop their bodies while developing their minds. Not only is the de- fender of Mafeking a brilliant sol- dier, but he is a very fine Artist, as well as aotor. Once, when quar- tered at Aldershot, a man, anxious to draw the General's attention to some gun, always waylaid him on his afternoon walk. This hap- pened so often shat the General one day disguised himself as a navvy previous to going out for his usual walk. On his way back he encountered the man. Slouching. his shoulders and assuming a fero- cious expression, he strolled up to him. "Are you the chap wot's looking for Baden-Powell ?" he asked. "For if you are, he has sent me out to keep the road clear for 'im," He was never again.dis- turbed 'n his afternoon walk. The gallant 'Lieutenant-Go:meal, by the way, has two favorite mottoes. One is, "Don't flurry; patience wins the day," and the other, "A smile and a stick will carry a matt through almost any difficulty," 1 SENTENCE SERMONS. Occupations arm the heart. The larger the soul, the simpler the life. Gold is tried by fire and man often by gold. The faith that does not revise you needs revising. You cannot conquer any weakness by coddling it. The only pleasures enjoyed are those that are earned. Love is eternal because it never worries about dying. They are most harmed by flattery who are most hungry for it. Measure the appreciation you be- stow by that which you desire. Taking a by-path to avoid duty we are sure to meet our deserts. The mark of a• free man is that he binds himself to some high duty. No man comes to himself until he knows that he belongs to his world. It is better to be wrecked through overzcal than to rot from over - caution. The power to comfort others does not come from consoling yourself. The leaden heart easily learns how to praise the golden rule in silvery tones. Hypocrisy is simply failure to credit other people with ordinary discernment. Citizenship in heaven will not ex- empt you from either taxes or ser- vice here.

FIRST USE OF "MAJESTY," The title "majesty" was first used of the Emperors of Germany. The first Icing to receive it was Louis XI. of France, about 1463.
