T,be alma relationship between athiacountry and England was shown at the recent New Year's rectption at the White Rouse, when the entire ,British embassy was present. The Right Honorable Lord Pauneefote, of Preston, G.Q.B., t3,M,0;, dean of the dtjploetxtie corps, was accompanied by Lady Panneefoto and their four daughters; Mr. Gerald A. Lowther, Drat peoretary; Capt. Charles L. Ottley, R.N., and Mrs. Ottley; Lieut.. Colonel A. H. Lee, R.A., military aftaebe, and Mrs. Les, his American ',bidet Mr. C. N. E.

A good many Canadians turn up at Washington from time to time. The latest arrival is Mr. Edward "jde$en>tite, of Montreal, who was somewhat amused when asked what Canada thuuglit of the alleged jeenlan invasion of that ,country. 't' It is all newapaper talk," be said, "and Canadians are losing no sleep An account of it. We know from *hat source it emanates, and are +roll satisfied with the knowledge shat the fiery warriors who are going to devour Canada blood raw aro wind jammers of the 18•carat va• riety, and that their talk of gore is A few hot-headed individuals, who have deluded themselves into thtakiug they have a grievance. t;ligainst England, no doubt realtss inlet this would be a fine time to add 10 the complication of Great Britain ty the invasion of the Dominion and bane the incentive of the raid. But 'lbey will take it oat in talk." Another interesting viattor et tt.e ,eagltal.daring the past week, was ,Mr. P. Labry, of Manchester, Eng- land, who talked entertainingly of the Boer war. "Tho end of the war will undoubtedly 'tee England attprente all the way from the Cape to the Zambesi," -he said. "The 'Boers had every advantage in men, munitions and position at the outset, toad they bane on a few battles. flat Britain's sea power will enable her to win in the end.

The True Story of Job. BY T1111 ROVER, Job was a prosperous farmer and ranchman out in Wyoming and he VMS making money hand over fist. In fact, he made so much money that he didn't care for expense& at all. Some of the neighbors who were leas prosperous prophesied that the time would come when he would not fly so high, hut he didn't care fur any of their jibes. He had other fish to fry. He had settled in that country in an early day before the railroad came through and of course he had endured many hardships; but, after all, be did Bot ,Hind u, became he was the chief orator at old settlers' meetings for many years. Some envious persons who had not been invited to some of bis social doings and a few school teachers were in the habit of criticizing his grammar; but he hadn't tine to stop to argue' the ease with them and be kept on saying have came" and "have went,'" with alieolnte impun- ity, even If he didn't have any ides what impunity meant. When tines got better Job made up his mind to take life easter. He had decided to run for a county ranee in order that he might move to the county seat and take it easy. Then it was that bis troubles began. Men of his own party, also, were the first to go back on hits. The drat thing they did after he wits nominated was to subscribe for the opposition papers in order to find oat what kind of R moa he was. Moreover, they believed every word they said, although they hod never believed a syllable before, Men who were the first to smoke Ills campaign cigars, even if they were a cheap brand, were the very ones who had, to be reconciled before they could conscientiously support him.

About the same time a tribe of hostile Indiana got on the war path and drove off his stock cad what they did not drive away they killed to make dried beef for the next summer. A cyclone blew down bit house just the day after the Maur. anoe had run out, but Job uttered cot one word of complaint. He was not a calamity -howler worth a cent, Aird he is cited to this day as an example of what a man may ho when his digestion is in good order. But, nevertheless, in all his alike• tions, Job never grew sour and .rabid, but retained his sense of humor to the last, Instance; One day a delegation of politicians called on him to give him much valuable stickle, not'vithstei ling that every one of the whole outfit was on the bum and lied scarcely clothes onongh to go to a that class fnnerel, yet they were free with their advice as such people have a habit of being. They told him if he did not support the man they wanted for postmaster, there would be a row In camp. He told them plainly that be was sorry and that he had " No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall din with yon," He in effect told them If they didn't like the way he wee doing, the bat thing for them to de was to pull their freight, end they did.

Every. body tried to sob him gold bricks and if he refused ,W buy they swore vengeance on him at the polls, This wasn't ail. A potitlesl boss who was much the same character of boases several thousand years later, put up a job to make bim swear to see if he couldn't get him thrown out of the church, but In this he failed. The Book says It was Satan who tempted him, but it seems to me that Satan has enough to answer for withont laying at his door all the dirty political work of the time. Satan Is guilty of much that is evil, but there are Mors. There are a good many things laid at Satan's duor simply because he is unable to talk back and introduce the evidence for the defence. I believe it is not more than fair to give the Devil his due. Even a chicken thief 1e given that poor boon. And when the administration changed, Job's luck was restored and even if he had been defeated for office the first time, he moved to Utah and ran fur congress.

HATS OFF, LttDIES! The adherents of the Methodist church a Midland are iu a whirl- pool of speculation and excitement consequent upon a decree of the pastor, Rey, Thomas Dunlop, that the ladies of the congregation will please remove their bats during church servioe. This sort of innovation, which no men, at leant, will dispute the righteousness of, is not the kind one expects to see iutroduced so close to home. It is Yankee•np•to.date. Such a report coming from Kansas or Texas would have occasioned little comment. The remarks of the Midland Free Press on the request of Rev, Mr, Dunlop, will be of interest to STANDARD readers: "An announcement was made from • the pulpit of the Methodist chngb on Sunday morning last whicb rather startled the audience and has tet thousands of tongues In the town talking. Commencing with Sunday next the ladies were asked to remove their hats during the service. The request was made because the pastor had received numerous come plaints that members in the audience could not eee the preacher because of some of the displays of millinery worn to church. The pastor, there- fore, made the above request, having first talked the matter over with a number of his lady members who promised obedience to the mild request. No doubt some will comply while others will kick f triouely, with the result that—but time will tell. But everyone is talking this week, and many speculations are advanced as to what the ladies will do with their millinery, To place the hat on the floor is oat of the question ; to put it on the seat would occupy too much room, and alto endanger the delicate creation ; to hold it on the tap or in the hand would he too much blither. A band box seems the only solution. No doubt the expel intent in lite Metho- dist church will be watched with interest by the other denominations, and if it goes well the innovation may become quite the style."
