Ninety per cent. of our schoolboys era being educated to meant a flawless smoothness of mental surface; very soon they will show an equally monotonous sameness of physical build, Now what is Alio outcome of all this undue con- straint on a lad's character? There is reason to suppose that its effect is one of compression on the mind; as regards its result on the disposition, it is neces- sary to sneak with caution. It is per- haps impossible accurately to sum up the average characteristics of the aver- age product of our athletic school sys- tem; but, broadly speaking, such a boy may be described as an incarnate hurri- cane; for his existence is a continuous banging about, he is naturally inpatient with everything out of keeping with his own robust being, is intolerant of any- thing purely literary or artistic, treats with contempt( thanks to the precept and example of his directors) all "non - sportsmen,' and, when he has reached sixth form status, confines his literary studies out of school hours to certain gaudy weeklies and one or two "muscu- lar" monthlies. He has a fluent com- mand of language which is not English, is apt to be rough in manner, and is by 110 means free from what the moralists call viciousness. On the other hand, he is not without some good qualities—notably a certain bluff straightforwardness arising in part from his steady obedience to the sport- ing maxim of "fair play" and in part from his usual want of mental depth; he shows in his quieter moments a pat- ronizing consideration for his weaker brethren, and now and then there peep out traits of character ivhich tell us that, given a happier training, he might not have made his life incessantly- rotate round a center of muscle unaffected by other worthier centers. In fact, there is every sign that many of our boys are degenerating into an un- intelligent animalism.—From the West- minster Review. •.-4. Teddy's Promise.

'' SOi rat r t:, "WHAT FOOLS WE MORTALS BE !" The History of a Fool Can Never be Written,. Because it Never Could Record the froth, and History Knows Nought But Truth. That immortal poet cello asked this important and meaningful question was one of the keenest dissectors of human nature. Cue of the most striking illustrations of this truth came to light a few- days ago, when a man lying on his dying bed with consumption was recommended by his own brother and a sister, in the presence of us, to take 1;'sychine, as it had cured both of them, an. hereditary predisposition to lung weaknessbeing somewhat strongly marked in the family. The answer was, "Yes, if the doctor reeonntnends it." But, as was: to be expected, the doctor said, "Oh, I can give jdst as good medicine as Psyehine." Result: The doctor's patient, who got "just as good medicine as Psyehine," is in his cold, cold grave to- day, while his 'brother and Sister, both of whom were pronounced as hopeless consumptives by the , best physicians, through taking .Psyehine are as healthy specimens of humanity as can be found. The brother who had been cured said to the writer, beside the grave of his bro- ther, "What fools we mortals be," re- ferring to his .'brother's following the advice of an unwise medical adviser. "I herewith send my photo and testi- monial for Psychine. I was given up 16 years ago as an iueurable consumptive, by Prof. Lyman, Rush Medical College, Chicago. I suffered several years after this, until I, heard of Psyehine, and through it I was restored to perfect health, which I have enjoyed for the past ten years.

The death of Dr. Barnardo has not been permitted, thus far, to interrupt the benevolent and reformatory work accomplished by the system of 'Homes" which he, established. At a meeting held in London the other day, Lord Strathcona said that he was pretty well acquainted with the work done in out- lying parts of the empire, more espeeial- ly in Canada. During the past year there were received into the institution 2,091 children, and of that number 1,- 174 emigrated to Canada. For several years past from 1,000 to 1,200 children had annually been sent from the homes to Canada, and, although they were drawn from that class of the population in which there was a great deal of crime, practically the entire number had done well. Many of them had been adopted by respectable Canadian families. Of 18,000 sent out since 1882 it might be said that from. 90 per cent. to 95 per cent. 'haddone fairly well, and at least 60 per • cent. had done really well, many of them 'being among the most respecta- ble classes throughout the Dominion. IIe tr"listed that'means would be forthcom- ing to eontinue the good work with- out diminution.' Mrs. Barnardo said that the homes now contained about 8,000 inmates, and, in addition to a large number of babies, who in many cases, had been rescued from drunken and inhuman parents, they included 1,- 200 crippled and eff]icted children in spe- giat homes and hospitals.

A Chinese Custom to Which Foreign- ers Have Objected. The Chinese censor lies memorialized the throne on the necessity of abolishing the degrading custom of high native Ministers of the Crown kowtowing and addressing or replying to their Majesties, on bended knees. Kowtowing has been a fruitful theme for discussion and contro- versy ever since the nations of the West first invaded the shores of the great cen- tral kingdom. Hitherto the question concerned only those who came from foreign lands on diplomatic or other mis- sions. No one for a moment thought of suggesting that the kowtow was a de- grading custom so far as the Chinese high officials themselves were concerned. The kowtow before the throne consisted in kneeling three times and touching the ground with the head thrice at each genuflexion. , Western diplomats and others in China have not been in the past unanimous in their opposition to the performance of the kowtow, •but the British representa- tives from the first have consistently re- fused to submit to it. Lord Macartney, who arrived in China in 1793 as the head of the first British Embassy, when pre- senting his credentials would only con- sent to bend one' knee in the presence of the Emperor. Over twenty years elaps- ed before the second British mission ar- rived. in China. The question of the kow- tow was again raised, and as a result of his refusal to perform the ceremony Lord Amherst was never officially re- ceived by the Emperor, who issued an imperial edict to the effect that the Bri- tish Ambassador bad not observed the rules of politeness in vogue in the Celes- tial Empire. The French Ambassador sent to China in 1844 received special instructions not to submit to the kowtow. These instruc- tions, however, he ignored, as he held the opinion that Ambassadors must con- duct themselves according to the usages of the court to which they were accred- ited. ccredited. The whole question during the last half century has assumed an alto- gether different aspect. For over one hundred years prior to the establishment of permanent foreign legations in the Chinese capital in 1860 European repre- sentatives were not accorded an imperial audience. Since that date the kowtow has never been insieted upon.—North China Herald.
