Strange as it may seem, there ex- ists a perpetual lighthouse, need - leg no keeper, end yeleas regulax in its flashes of light as one maintaia- ed by the Go'vernntent. This na- tural light never fails and thab ntean.s much for naviga'tion. It is a volcano on tate Island of Ban Salva- dor. This volcanic lighthouse is about eight miles inland ,from the port of A.cacutla. It is a veritable pillar of eloud byda,y, and the &eh of its light by night has been valu- able to mariners for years. It can be seen fax out at sea, and, a burst of flame has gone upward every se- ven minates without the variation of a eecond for years. A lighthouse fee is collected from, all vessele that put in at the harbor neareet the vol - eau*, and no skipper objects. He knows that the volcano is more re- joktpa liable tan the lighthouses kept by , . human beings on. other masts, and .. the novelty of the light is worth the rice charged by the Government. WHAT TACT.DOES, r Tact is a combination of good tempeii r, ready wt, quickness of per- ception, and ability to take in the exigency of the oceasion instantly. It is never offensive, but is a balm allaying saspicion, a,nd soothing. It is appreciated. It is plausible without being dishonest, apparently 'consults the welfare of the second Tarty, and does not manifest any selfishness. It. is nelfrer antagonis- tic,never opposes, never strokes, the hair the wrong way, and never irritates. • Tact, like a fine man- ner, eases the way, takes the jar out of the jolts, oils the bearings, opens doors barred to others, sits in the drawing -room when others must wait in the reception -hall, gets into the private office when others are turned down. • It admits you into exclusive circles, where wealth abounds, even though poor. It se- cures the position when merit is • tigned away. Tact is a great naana- • ger ; it easily controls people, even • when combined with small ,ability, where genius cannet get along.

Few Rules Which Should be Strictly Observed. A healthy body is the best pro- tection against the tubercle bacil- lus or any other diseases breeding germ. Therefore, keep' well by ob- serving the following rules :— • Live, work and sleep in rooms flooded with fresh air and purified by sunlight every day. See that your sleeping room is thoroughly ventilated. Use good, pure nourishing food, and thoroughly masticate What you eat. Cultivate cleanly, temperate and regular habits of living. • Avoid • breathing dust -laden air. In 'sweeping and dusting use a baciist broom and duster. Don't spit on the floor of the dwelling, shop, school, public build- ing or on the sidewalk. If you must do so spit in the gutter or into a spittoon, • - If you have a cough do not resort to quackery, but consult a physici- an ,or go to dispensary. Make full Use of good food, fresh air and rest. Live as much as Passible in the open air, and have your sleep - in strong salt water. An excellent tonie for nervous people is take salt rubs twieela clay. As sea salt dissolves slowly, some of it can be kept in solution in a glass jar to be ready wheu needed. The entire salt bath is also good. , Where a chila is inclined to bow- legs or to have a weak back, rub it night and morning with a strong salt water.

A parable—One of sev- eral grOuped together in Luke's 4,97 cunt at this point. There is an in- timate cortoection in thought with the exhortation which immediately precedes, that, namely, ageitist judging others, Can the blind guide the blind ?— Jesus chooses a :very familiar sub- ject for the figurative lesson of his parable. The affliction of blindness is very common in Palestine, even to -day. A pit --An open cistern or square tank such as was commonly used for the storing of rain water. 40. Disciple—Literally, learner; that is, the pupil. Not above his teacher—aTot wiser or better informed than ais teacher. Perfected—Or; equipped, wheu his period ef training is completed. 41. Why beholdest thou? --- Why dost thou take notice of ' • The mote --Literally, ara frag- ment, a mere splinter. \ In thy brother's eye—The pre- cepts which Jesus sets forth are in- tended for observance in domestic and social life, without special re- ference to their application in courts of law. • The beam—Literally, main beam, the rafter supporting the center of the roof. The thought is that of blindness to one's own far more serious fault. • 42. Thou hypocrite—In classic Greek the word translated hypo- erite means aetor, and is used in coanection with th'e drama. In the New Testament, however, it often has the sense of one sating a false part in life, and hence is exactly equivalent in meaning.to our. Eng- lish word hypocrite useci in the translation. Then shalt thou see clearly—A right understanding of self and,an appreciation of one's own faults and limitati"ons is necessary befoxe one can rightly understand • the needs of others.

The Queen of Spain and Princess Patrieia of Connaught ere well above middle height, but Princess Mary bids fair to outstrip them both. Young as she is Princess Mary has already a strong personality. 'As a small girl, she was the auto- crat of the Royal nursery, and her brothers, who were all devoted to her, followed her lead. In those early days Princess Mary quite ap- preciated the dignity of her posi- tion, and once whoa a,sked whethet she would like a little sister, aa - 43. No good tree—No sound or perfect tree. - • • Corrupt tree—The unsound, de- cayed or worm-eaten • tree, lump- able'of bringing forth good fruit. 44. Known by its own fruit—The quality of fruit which a given tree produces not only labels it among other trees, but determines abso- lutely its commercial value. Thorns . : . bramble bush—It has been said that there is probably no other country on earth of the same( extent which has so many plants! with thorns and prickles as has the I Holy Land- These often grow in close proximity to the fruit -bearing fig trees and grapeviries. The thorns and thistles were enough in evidence in every fruit orchard and vineyard to give the words of Jesus a heightened significance,, making his meaning perfectly clear to his hearers. 45.

Why call ye me '—A question addressed to those among his bear- ers who, professing to be his dis- ciples, failed to obey his teachings: The things which 1 say—The prin- ciples -which I have just been set- ting forth. 47. Heareth . . . doeth—The par- able which follows hinges on these two words. Hearing is the essete. tial preliminary, without which the doing would be impossible. The test of character, however, lies in the doing. ig doDingg 4ed . . , deep—In the vei!'- sion of the parable given by Mat- thew the men differ in the respec- tive sites which they select for building. Here they differ in the manner in which they lay the foun- dations, the one observing more care than the other in making the excavation for the foundation.

Yes, replied the small boy; "1 can read my own writingl" Princess Mary. swered that she might not mind a sister, but would not care for an- other princess. • Princess Mary has now come to years of discretion, and is a very charming young girl, bright and vivacious, fond of outdoor life, a plucky rider, and a good whip. She has inherited the deft fingers of the Queen, and is an expert at all kinds of stitchery and intricate knitting, Three more years raust elapse be- fore Princess Mary makes her first appeararfe.e at Court functions, but when that time comes there will probably be a good deal of enter- taining for the young princess at Buckingham Palace. • LONDON LAND SCARCITY. Building Operations Declining 'Be- cause of Small Area of Land. Aceording to a London county council report, building operations are declining in Londoli because of the diminishing area ef its uncOv- ered land. For example, in 1907 houses and premises of ,all kinds, with a rateable value, of 2481,000, were added, but for the year 1910 the rateable value of premises add- ed was only £199,000. The builder has to go out of London to find land to develop. - As regards working-class accom- modation; it has not been necessary to provide much more in central London, but in outer London the increase goes on. In 1910 there was in London and extra, London a net addition of 20,000 rooms, but in. 3906, when the spirit of enterprise was upon the builders, over 52,000 rooms were provided. When new accommodation has been provided it has invariably been in tene- ments, for -the- number of new six - roomed cottages has fallen off con- siderably. Though the returns show only the 'actuaa extra working-class accom- modation provided, it must be borne in mind that the continued conversion of better -class houses into tenements is adding much ex- tra aceommodation for the workers. A recent report of --the Saint Pan- cras borough council showed that in Maple Street, off Tottenham Court Rea< there are about a dozen houees now oecupied by about 50 different families, From the Iota:Ion county cOttneil return it appears that there has been very little- change in. the rents ruling for several years pet. • Though the value of property has depree$ated, working-ela,ss rents have not de- clined, For the central area, the average weekly rent per room is three shillings orte pence, for the rest of London two shillings . alea penoe and for the outer suburbs two shillings 13/2 pence. .

TEE BAHAMAS. Looking Forward to Annexation to • 0 ur D onalnion. An artkle copied in this paper with kegard to the aspirations of the Bahamas as to become a. prov- ince of Canada suggests the ques- tion that occurred to many, why, it was that the Bahamas, which have expressed themselves so favorable to political union with the Domin- ion, were not represented at the trade conference at Ottawa, which has resulted in a reciprocity agree- ment between the West Indian Is- lands and the Dominion.. A glance at a map suggests an explanation. The islands that sent representa- tives to Ottawa belong exelusively to the Windward and Leeward groups, with Trinidad and the mainland colony of British Guinea, added. The Bahamas lie fax to the north and west of those islands. They have no commercial connection with them and their problems are altogether. different. • They are not interested in sugar and cocoa, and think more of the fruit trade and of the winter tourist traffie. Their attitude, as we should gather from the accounts that have reached us of the enthusiastic colonization movement, is tha-t they want free trade with. Canada, not in a few ar- ticles only, most of which do not particularly interest them, but in everything, and believe that this can only be obtained by that abso- lute union which would result from their joining the Canadian federa- tion. T.hey look forward to a full course banquet at the Dominion table in the near future, so why should they bother with an advance sandwich, and Waste time and divert the attention of their people by a discussion of the ingredients to be put into that sandwich. His Excellency Sir William Grey - Wilson, who has been the Governor of the colony for the past six years, and retired an May 24th„ has been an active promoter of the annexa- tion idea. If we mistake not, his advice to the island legislature has been to have nothing to do with the trade negotiations, which were not of particular interest or importance th them, but to wait until the au- tumn, and then, if the consent of the Imperial authorities can be ob- tained in the meantime, to send a deputation te Ottawa to discuss, not a mere trade agreement, but political union. At least this is in accordance with the views private- ly expressed by the governor when recently here. It will be remember- ed that Sir William is a cousin of our late Governor-General. Lady Grey -Wilson is a cousin of the Rev. Dr. Barclay, of this city. We see it stated that His Excellency will be gratefully remembered for his very wholehearted devotion to the interests of the colony, and that Lady Grey -Wilson, by her unfailing kindliness, genuine goodness, dig- nity, approachability and tact, has endeared herself to • the people there.—Montreal 'Witness.
