A. comparison of the naval strength of the various fleets, whioh appeared in a recent ieeue of the Naval Annual, Makes interesting reading at the present time, AEoording to T. A. Brassey, the writer of the article, at the end of 1908 Britain had 50 battleships of the first class, the United States 22, Germany 20, France 13 and Japan 11. Of Britain's 43, six ars Dreadnoughts. No other nation poesesses any completed ships of this class, though Japan has two almost ready to go into commieaion, while Germany and the United States will each have two completed by the end of the .present year. Of second olass battleships and ooaat defence ships Britain has 11, United States 3, Germany 9, France 17 and japan 3. Britain has 42 cruisers of the first class, 27 of the second, and 43 of the third. The Malted States has 11 of the first class, 3 of the second and 11 of the third. Germany has 6 each of the first and second classes and 20 of the third. France has 11. of the first class, 13 of the second, and 22 of the third, Japan has 9 of the first class, 4 of the second and 18 of the third. Of Britain's first class cruisers three are Invincibiea, whioh ars almost equal to battleships in strength: No other nation -has any of these ships in com- mission, Germany's fires one was launched just recently. HOW TO GET AFTER THE RURAL MAIL DELIVERY M. Y. McLean, M. P. for South Huron 'writing from Ottawa to his paper, the Seaforth Expositor, writes: -"It may be interesting to our readers to know how Rural Mail Delivery may be procured, Those desiring it have to petition for it. As soonas the uetiticre is received at the Department it is reterred to the division- al intpeetor. When the reports are favorable, authority is immediately given for the establishment of 8ervl0E8. In one melee the contractor objects to perform the service and it is necessary to cancel the contract and invite public tenders. In such cases the commence - merit of the delivery is delayed until a f19w s°ontraet is awarded. The follow- ing extract from the rules further ex plains the modals operandi:"The Post She Looks so Well and Healthy That many ask her what she has bean using. It is a common thing to have people tell you how pale and siek_ly you look, hut when they begin to comment on your heaithy appearance you may be sere the than L9 remarkable. Office Department has deaided,to under. tales the delivery and collection of mall matter to and from persons residing in rural districts along and contiguous to the lips of travel of all existing stage route* of one mile and upward* in length upon reoeipt of a properly signed petition for snob service from the re- aidents of eaoh of the rural districts traversed by such stage routes. Petition forms may be obtained upon application to the Post Office Inspectors or the Poet Office Department, Mail Oontraat Breach, Ottawa." I may further say that a charge of three dollars le made for eaoh box, the charge being oolleoted when the box is delivered. This le the only charge made by the department in connection with the matter, ste box will be sent to each person signing the petition asking for it. Those residing on cross roads can be served if they desire, as well as those living on the regular mail route. This is done by having their boxes ereoted at the point where the roads intersect. NOTES AND COMMENTS An exchange says: The most pros- perous appearing town is the one with the greatest evidence of local pride. It doesn't require mansions and great lawns to make a prosperous town, but order, cleanliness, and the evidence of civic pride are an absolute essential. The neat, Olean well -kept home with the evidence of personal interest, clean streets and back alleys free from rub- bish, the thing that may be possessed by all save the really unfortunate, are the things which make a town inviting and upon which prosperity in a Iarge mew: are rests. There 'are many forma of intemper- ance other than in the nee of alco- holic liquors. Anything on which the mind is set to an inordinate degree, anything indulged in to an inordin- ate extent though harmless in itself becomes a species of intemperance. Too mu3h reading of fiction, too mach frequenting of the theatre is intemperance. A young woman in Montreal, who twice robbed her em- ployer and faked stories of the mo- ney with whioh she was entrusted having been taken from her by vio- lence, has confessed that she used the money for candies and theatre tickets. Had she been oontent with the moder- ate expenditure on these things whioh her salary allowed she would not have become a thief. Temperance in all things, and living within a person's income are two of the things taught. STOMACH DISTRESS. And All Misery from Indigestion Vanlshea Five -,Minutes Later.

Aots ix:4. Verses 1.2 -From experience, pbil- oeophically, theologically, physcholo- gioally, or any other way, how do yon account for the bitter hatred of Sant for Ohristiane? After his convereion, did he show the same hatred toward those who op- posed Christianity? Does history justify the statement that, zealous religionists, who have not known, nor !experienced the love of God, have been exceedingly creel and bitter men? Verses 3 -4 -What waa the nature of the light that shined around Saul? (See Acts xxtt:6, xayi:13, I Oor. xv:8.) Whose voice was it that Saul heard? What reason is there to believe that this was a real voice with outward sound? Is there any sinnor,so bad that Jeeue does not call him to repent? Had Sanl actually been persecuting Jesus? (See Matt. 25:40.) If we hurt or help a Ohrietian, is that actually done to Jeans? Ie there a sense in which a Christian is the actual Christ? Verse 5 -Did Saul know from the first who it was that spako to him? Does it always consciously hart to fight against God? Does wrong doing always hurt whether done in ignorance or not? Verse 6 -What waken sinners always tremble whoa God reproves thera for their sins? At what stage does God forgive a convicted /sinner? When was Sani actually converted? Why did not Jeene tell Saul there and then, what he wanted him to do? Verse 7 --Why does the supernatural always frighten people? Verses 8.9 -What had blinded Sant? How did Saul spend the days that he was withoat sight? Did he fast beeatise he had no de- sire for food, or was it a religions fast? Is feeling of any use in these days as a help to spiritual life? Verses 10.12. -May the ability to hear God speak, be acquired by all true Christians? Have yon any experience of God telling more than one person the same thing, so that when they came to compare experiences, God's message was confirmed? Will God always prepare us for our work, and prepare the work for ne? Verses 13.16 -Is Gad pleased, or dis- pleased, if we do not accept what he says, when it 1* not clear to us? Verses 17 -18 -Did Saut at this time receive the Holy Ghost, or at the time of his conversion, and when do Christians generally re- ceive him? (This question must be answered in writing by members of the club.) Verses 19 -22 -Do all genuine converts like Sani, commence immediately to get others converted? What was the power in Saul which gave him his groat zeal, and is the same power available for every. christian? Verna 23.25 -If a person feels, or note, in a bitter spirit toward one of a different faith. is that proof that he is not in touch with the true God?

Chat :',uilipox, 1.11411):U; to tom„ puisory vaccination, has become a rar- ity in civilized communities, scarlet fever steps forward as the worst of the eruptive diteases of childhood. it Is a malady of enormous antiquity, Thueydides, writing nearly 000 year before the beginning of our era, called it a heritage from the remote past. It has scourged the white races in all ages and all countries, and the phy- siciens of all schools have leveled their heaviest artillery upon it. Yet it remains a puzzle unsolved acid an enemy unconquered even today. We ere in doubt as to its cause, and there is no drug or antitoxin that will cure tt, But despite all this the death rates from scarlet fever is steadily declin- ing., and we may expect it to decline more and more as the years go by. The reason for this, I tako it, Iles In the fact that the modern doctor is a great deal more sparing with pills unci powders than his predecessor axed a great deal more lavish with water, air and antiseptics. In the old day* it was customary to dose scarlet fever patients with all sorts of violent reme- dies in staggering quantities, and as a result many of the= died. Today medicines are but minor auxiliaries in the sickroom, and both doctor and nurse devote their main energies to preventing a spread of the infection,r- I)elineator. USE FOR A TELESCOPE. Interesting Discovery One Woman Made by Use of the Giese. "I thought it was a pretty fair sort of telescope for one that wasn't very big," said Uncle Silas. `;I rigged it up in the attic by the high north win- dow and had it fixed so it would swing around easy. I took a deal of satisfaction in looking through it, the sky seemed so wide and full of won- ders, so when nester was here I thought I'd give her the pleasure too. She stayed a Iong time upstairs and seemed to be enjoylrrg 6t. When she came down I asked leer if she'd dis- covered anything new. "'Yes; she says, `Why, it made everybody's house seem so near tbat I seemed to be right beside 'em, and I found out what John Pritchard's folks are Join' in their ontkitehen I've wondered what they had a light there for night after night, and I just turned the glass on their win- dows.

Fiddled Into Office. Lossing relates that in 1848 he met at Oswego, N. Y., Major Cochran, then nearly eighty years old, a son-in-law of General Philip Schuyler, who told the story of his election to congress during the administration of the elder Adams. A vessel was to be launched on one of the lakes in interior New York, and people came from afar to see it, The young folios gathered there, determined to have a dance at night. There was a fiddle, but no fiddler. Young Cochran was en ama- teur performer, and his services were demanded, He gratified the joyous company, and at the supper table one of the gentlemen remarked, in com- mendation of his talents, that he was "fit for congress." The matter was talked up, and he was nominatea and elected a representative in congress for the district then comprising the whole of New York west of Schenec- tady. He always claimed to have "fiddled himself into congress." A Worthy Des;re. An ambitious young Chicagoan called upon a publisher of novels in that city, to whom he imparted confidentially the information that he had decided to "write a book" and that he would be pleased to afford the publisher the chance to bring It out. "May I venture to inquire as to the nature of the book you propose to write?" asked the publisher very po- Iitoly.
