Leaders for the consideration of the various chapters were duly chosen and a com- mittee with the faculty of getting tbiags done, was selected to secure in- dividuals whose duty it was to discuss,' somewhat in detail, the 17ari0t:s sub- topics in the chapters. The duty of those to whom the topics were,aseign- ed, was to secure all information avail- able, and to present this information at the regular meeting of the Circle in as clear and concise a manner as pos- sible. The meetings were held at the houses of the members of the Circle, it being distinctly uuderstood that no refreshments were to be served. This action of this little band has much in it to commend. For one thing, it encourages the reading of a fine book. It opens the way for a good deal of research, and it brings to light a deal of information upon the history of our own day. How great the pro- blems of our Empire are, but compara- tively few are real aware. How in- structive a study of these problems is, only those know who have earnestly considered them. The Iate Matthew Arnold said that if he lived to be eighty, he expected to be the only liv- ing man who read anything outside of newspapers and magazines. The young people who have formed this Circle have no such reproach resting upon them. Not a few of our young people's gatherings dwindle to nothing because they do not study a book or follow up a work or study that is distinctly worth while. Many of us would live longer and more happily and usefully, were we to think about something that would really tax the gray matter in our brains. Oar mental muscles are sadly in need of toning up by hard, but judicious, exercise. A helpful supplement to the pro- gramme of the young people already referred to would be a lecture by some capable man of repute, a journalist, a teacher, or a statesman, or a clergy- man. In addition to this, a first-class singer might profitably be engaged, the ,object being, not the making of money, but the opportunity of hearing a high class artist. Should this course of study be continued for a few winters, the improvement in the taste of the community, the gain in knowledge, the added facility of expression, and the improved capacity for serious thinking or rational criticism, would be almost incredible. , 1 WEALTH OF HAIR Parisian Sage Is the Preparation that Grows Hair, Stops Dandruff and Makes . Bair Gloriously Radiant. Money hack says J. W, McKibben if Parisian Saga doe's not eradicate all dandruff, stop splitting hair, falling hair and scalp itch, and put life and lustre into the dull faded hair of any man, woman or chin;, Parisian Sage is pleasant and re- freshing. No cheap perfumery odor, no disagreeable connection, but a dein• tily per4nmed tonic-• one that is not sticky or creasy—that proves its good. Hess the fleet time you see it. Baldness and faded hair are both caused by dandruff germs. Parisian Sage kills the germs and causes the hair to grow abandantly. Large bottle at J. W, McKibbens and druggists everywhere.
