In Lie lateet letter he states that the Dom. Min of Canada has crossed the thres- hold of the twentleth century under non- ditions ineontporably more favorable to rapid expansion than obtained in the United States at the beginning of the nieeteenth. In support of this statement the; following facts and figures are glaeu: , The population of the United States In 1800 was 5,308,000; that of the Domin- ion in 1001 (exclusive of Newfoundland) was 5,371,000. The total imports and exports of tine United States in 1800 were valued at less than $188,000,000; the total imports and exports of the Dominion of Canada in 1001 exceeded $540,000,000. The receipts of the United States Treasury 111 1800 were from cue - tins $0,080,000 and from internal rev- enee $800,000; the total revenue of the Dominion in 1000 was $80,000,000 t, which $60,000,000 was contributed from customs and excise, Iu 1300 the United States did not have n steamboat or 1 mile of railway. Canada, 00 the other hand, at the end of June, 1005, had n network of steam railways ;01111 a treck age of 20,000 miles, Finally, the inhabi- tants of all the chief cities of the Un- ited States in 1800 did not constitute more than a fraction of the present po pulation of Montreal. No doubt the twentieth century is Canada's, As the years less she is bound 1 to grow with accelerated speed, She has everything in her favor.

Ninety per cent. of our echoolboya aro being educated to ptosent a flawless emoothnoss of mental surface; very soon they will show an equally monotonous sameness of physical build. Now whet is the outcome of all this undue cow; stpaint on a tad's character? There la 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 apeak with caution. It is per- haps impossible accurately to sum up the average characteristics of the aver- age product of our athletic school Rya - tem; but, broadly speaking, such a boy may be described aa an incarnate !turn - cane; for his existence is a continuous banging about, he is naturally impatient 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 elached afxth 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 no menus free from what the morallats call viciousness. On the other stand, he is not without some good quaiitles--notably a certain bluff strelghtforwardnese, arising in part from his steady obedience to the sport. Ing maxim of "fair play" end in part from his usual want of mental depth; he ,bows in his quieter moments a pat- ronizing consideration for his weaker brethren, and now and then there peep out traits of character which tell us that, given a happier training, he might not Imre made hie life incessantly rotate round a center of muscle unaffected by other worthier renters.

The latest recruit of the corps of aeronautic experimenters in Paris is; M. Kluytmane, a Dutch engineer, who lute Invented a new type of steerable balloon. This is a cylindrical aerostat divided into two equal parte, between which a screw revolves, thus giving the motive power in the axis of the airship instead of from below, as in the case of the Pa trie. Almost a full-sized model of the machine, brought by M. Kluytmano to Paris, has won commendation from eminent asronaute. BEER* IS GOOD FOR 'MOST FOLKS (HARDLY ANOTHER BEVERAGE FEEDS SO WELL) EER really excels milk as a food -drink for most grown people. And many, many people cannot digest milk easily, because it is so lacking in solid food -contents. Moreover, milk is so liable to contagion that it is seldom pure when we get it in the cities. But Ontario - brewed beer is really pure,—brewed in cleanliness, of sound materials, in a sanitary way, and brought to the user in the same fit -to -drink state. Beer Is No Stimulant Drink beer with meals and at bedtime, as an item of diet that will help the stomach do its work better, and will feed the body besides. Don't choose beer as a stimulant, though,—it does not contain enough alcohol for that. Use it as a food -drink that induces lazy stomachs to do their work well, and so helps them get more good out of all food, Beer Makes Better Nerves Ontario beer is not only deliciously appetising and refreshing, because brewed of pure malt and hops only ; but, besides, all the power that hops possess to repair nerve wastes is kept in these brews. That is what makes beer so particularly good for women to drink regularly. Mk your own doctor what he thinks of beer for your household. S start U a term which 0Over0 lager, ales, porter and stout; and, in the practise of Oeter'e hewere, implies beverages made under most hygienic conditions from Ontario barley (the beat is 301 the staid) shalt, hops and pure water. WHAT FOOLS WE MORTALS BE !" The History of a Fool Can Never be Written, Because it Never Could Record the truth, and History Knows Nought lint Truth. That inenortal poet .who asked this important and meaningful question was one of the keenest dissectors of lemon nature. One of the most striking illustrations of this truth came to light a few days ago, when a mat lying on his dying bed with eonsienptien Was recommended by his ower brother and a sister, in the presence of us, to takePsychine, as it had cured both of them, an hereditary predisposition to lung weakness being somewhat strongly marked in the family. The answer was, "Yea, if the doctor recommends It" But, se was to be expected, the doctor said, "Oh, I can give Just as good medicine as Psychine," Result: The doctor's patient, who got "just as good medicine as Psychine" 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 Psychine are as healthy specimens of humanity as can bo found. The brother who bad been cured said to the writer, beside the grave of hia bro- ther, "What fools we mortals be," re - tarring 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 10 yearn ago as an incurable consumptive, by Prof. Lyman, Rush Medical College, Chicago. I suffered several years after this, until I heard of Psychine, and through it I was restored to perfect health, which I have enjoyed for the past ten years. My sickness began first with eatarth. of the head. I readily advise catarrh and la grippe surferers to take Psychine. "MRS. A. WELLS, "Lyndall, Man."

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 field 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 especial- ly in Canada. During the past year there were received into the institution 2,001 children, and of that number 1,- 174 ;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 cin 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 DO per cent. to 95 per cent. had done fairly well, and at least 00 per cent. had dote really well, many of them being among the most respecta- ble classes throughout the Dominion. He trusted that means would bo forthcom- ing to continue 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 afflicted children in ape.

The Chinese censor has memorialized the bhrone 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 coulee - 'grey 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 o. moment thought of suggesting that the kowtow was a de- grading cantos soo---far as the Chinese high officials themselves were concerned. The kowtow before the throne consistod 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 represents' tires from the first have consistently re- fused to submit to it, Lord Maeartnoy, who arrived in China in 1793 as the head of the first British Embassy, when pre- senting his credentials would only Don• 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 hls refusal to perform the ceremony Lord Amherst was never officially re- ceived by the Etnporor, who issued an imperial edict to the effect that the Brl, tisk Ambassador had not observed, the runs of politeness in vogue in the Coles. tial Empire, The French Ambassador sent to China M 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 exceed - lied. The whole question during the kat half century has assumed an alto- gether different aspect. I0or over ono hundred years prior to the establishment of permanent foreign legations in the Ohinoee capital in 1800 European repre- sentatives were 1,ot accorded as imperial audience.
