The Christian Alliance stands out as an example of what can be accom- plished by devotion. Its aim is to deepen the spiritual life of those who are not connected with it and to lift up, religiously, the cast-down and ne glected ones in lar-away mission fields. The Alliance covers by its work all the republics of South America, Ja- maica, Congo, Soudan, Northern and Southern China and India. Of the se venty missionaries who are in the field twenty hailed from Canada. Last year! 3155000 wae raised by the Alliance for missions. How? By a simple statement of its needs. Some- times by an object lesson, by map and illustration, of the magnitude of the work. At Toronto, on Sunday, an appeal was made which touched the generosity of the people, and they contributed $5,600. The names of the givers are known. They may have given out of their abundance, or they may have given their all, but they gave freely, without personal canvass and solici- tation, and they gave heartily. There is something in the quiet sae rifiee or liberal offering of the Allisnce that is worthy of study. The men who are doing the most for the world are not the best advertised. They are ac- tuated by motives which the public may not appreciate nor understand. not A MAN FOR THE PEOPLE. Mayor Howland: seeks to minimize the service which Mr. Ames rendered the people of Toronto by settling the street railway strike. Mr. Ames, (says the mayor), and those who were associated with him from the board of trade, merely acted as 'a committee of the street railway company." It makes precious little difference to the people in what capacity men act so long as they do able and effective work. The crisis in Toronto was'very actte, and Mr. Ames led those who gave their time, day and night, to the task of tiding it over, They sue | ceeded, and, not withstanding Mr, Howland's sneers, they will be grate- fully remembered. The occasion of the seeming re proach is apparent. Mr. Howland, six months in advance of the time, is looking for a third terin as mayor. Mr. Ames is mentioned as his succes Mr. Ames is not only a man of of means, but he has the sor, education and the talent and the time to serve people well. One cannot forget, of course, that be essayed the task of representing them in a minor degree, that of township reeve (for he lives outside the city in summer), and that he failed. Since then he has, however, bulked out big in the public vision. In several ways he has proven him- sell to be one of the best and most useful men in Toronto. FORCING ANNEXATION. The Review of Reviews bas a re- markable grticle on the future of the Filipinos, The editor says these peo- ple ave in 4 peculiar position, a posi- tion unlike that of any nation or rage § with which a conquering and' recon: structing force bas had to do. They are without a history, a lan- guage, a literature, a political life or organization. "At much expense to ourselves," says the Review of Re- views, speaking for the American peo- ple, "we gre making a people of them, and instructing them in the principles and art of government all along the line, from the local township up to the general government of the archi- For what end? "They must be free to be their own rulers. But first they must become a political entity." How long is this transforming pro- cess to go on?

The French Academy of Medicine has done the world a favour by demon- strating that men are hurt in place of helped, physically, by the appetizers which they drink. They are labouring under the idea--~a mere delusion--that they oan cultivate the appetite, by liquors or compounds of liquors and chemicals. The appetite is something which not to be woed by the caprice of the individual. Nature, healthy, at its best, uninfluénced by any of the irrita- tions to which it is subjected, will call for food according to its wants. The tissues of the hody cry out for thd materials which it needs as the waste of the body goes on in regular process from day to day. Man, simple-minded, foolish, even idiotic, thinks he can tickle the ap- petite as he can the taste with his fanciful concoctions. Hence, in France, he has resorted to many things, and worse than all to absinthe, as a means of artificially stimulating the tissues and making their wants subject to his will, The doctors say that all this wrong. It was not necessary that the French physicians should declare this in 'order to make it true. The world knows that men and women, generally, are eating and drinking too They are loading the stomach and they are washing it down with fluids which hinder digestion, and they won- der why they don't feel well. Ii the children, in our schools, are taught more physiology they will be- come better men and women. If they learn how to have foods make flesh and bone and blood they will have more regard for the simplicity of life which is essential to happiness and is none too apparent in these days.

Toronto News. The immense plants being built at Niagara Falls for the generation of electricity have raised the fear in many minds that all the water in the falls would soon be usea for com- mercial poses, J. W. Langmuir, chaitman of the park commission, is not at all alarmed, and affirms that beauty lovers meea not be discomfited. When asked yesterday concerning this matter be sai : is a question often put to me, particolarly since the remarkable statement attributed to lord Kelvin recently, that in time all the water of the falls would be used for com- mercial purposes, and which I have no hesitation in saying is a very remote possibility indeed. The matter may be put in this way: The total water power of the falls, including the up per rapids, is stated to be equivalent to pearly six. millions of horse-power, From the best information I.am able to obtain, the aggregate mechanical power in use to-day in the cities of Toronto, Hamilton, London, St. Ca tharines, Woodstock, Galt and Berlin amounts to 40,000 horse-power. Should one-hali of this total be sup- plied from Niagara Falls, and an equal amount be used locally by the works in electrolvtic processes, and an equal amount be transmitted to the American side for use there, it would only amount to, say, 50,000 horse-power, so that it is very evi dent that a considerable time must elapse or some still moke decided de velopment in the use and demand for electric power be made before the of fect on the falls would be noticed." The Ontario power company, the new rival of the Canadian Niagara power company, has secured rights in Queen Victoria park at Niagara Falls, and will proceed to generate electricity there, 'using the Welland river water, The company is to take water from the Welland river, and will lead it to the park, 5 distance of two miles. At the park an open canal will earry it on to the penstocks, by which it 'will be thken down the cliff to the power- house. J. W. Langmuir stated that the company had obtained additional rights in the park to take water from the Niagara river above the Dufferin islands, as an auxiliary to the Wel land river privilege. ---------- SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The best player of the club gave him his first lesson last week. Our crack: player is a tali man, calm; cool, se repe and impassive, in bad as in good fortune. He plays an errorless game. He has but one slight defect, he is a little too much of g no-trumper man. At times be makes it no trumps and loses five tricks. No matter though, it is all in the game; it makes it more spicy. One rub with Soap cleans Sunlight more than two rubs with.common $0ap. having taught the dude the mechanism of the game, the crack: player' handed him the following bunch of advices : "Now, go right home and take Fos ter. Don't mand the others, Foster is the best professor of bridge of than all. Read first the rules' of the makes; then take a pack of cards and give yourseli thirteen. Look the hand over and try to find the right make. When in doubt, look at the book. Re peat this often. After that, study the pass-makes, the go-over, the go-hack ana the different leads. Do this tor tix months, half an hour g day. Then try a game with the children at bome, then with your father, mother, and mother-indaw, then with ' your neighbors, then with your néost inti mate friends, then with the members of a junior club at one quarter cent a point. At that stage of your studies you should have a little idea of briage and trust vourseli at the club. Then begins the grim and fascinating struggle of this scientific game. You will have to keep your head straight on your shoulders and your eyes keen ly alive. By that time you should al so know that a table is formed gwith four players, the dealer, the duhmy, the leader and the pone. Let's see the duties of cach. When you are the aenler, give the cards neatly, a fine little pile for each one, and not in a raggea disorder where no one eqn find his lot. Don't look at the last card. Take your hand up, sort it, study it, and decide quick] Don't hesitate too long over 4 pass-make, for your partner will infer that your hand is on the brink of 4 no-trumper. When your partner twns up a bad hand, don't make 4 face, don't say a word, for poor dummy is already sow enough about it, without you rub bing it into him. Have a good look at dummy's cards, sce what you can do with them and your own, then day the hand with decision, without bertation. Hesitation is terrible for you, for it gives away your own cards to your opponents, who are keen observers, or who are swpoyed if you are too long in plerthg them. When you are the leader, study your cards in view of 4 possible go-over, if such or such trump is declared. Then aouble or ask to play without hesita ting. Hesitating is unfair, for it shows your partner your hand is al most good emough for a go-over When you are dummy, spread your caras with order, each suit in its place. Avoid scattering the whole bimch over half the table. Do not inter- fere in any way in the playing, ex- cept by giving out the card ordered, or else by calling the attention of After ry y. leads from the wrong hand. Dummy has nothing more to do. If you think vour partwer is making a bed play, don't show it, for it's against the rules, and, as he has enough trou ble of his own, your interference will only make him lose track of his com: bination. Never bend right and left to see your opponents' cards. It's against etiquette, and as you are a human be ing, you will show, in spite of your- self, your satisfaction or your annoy: ance. When your partner calls a card. play it properly. Don't fillet it off the table or into his face. Don't yawn or look askance or disdainful when the play is wrong, for you will Giscourage your partner, When vou are the prone, be prepared to sav "please" or to double, when your partner speaks, and this is for the reason given above. Now for for gen eral remarks, Remember that from the very moment the first card is played, you are dumb, mute, impmssive, im mobile. Your eyes see, your hands work; but let' the dards alone speak for themselves to the bitter end of the hand. Cards are great talkers, at bridge. They don't want your help, for if you interfere you will spoil their harangue and bungle the whole thing. Argue the play of a hand dur ing the next deal only. Then the past 15 past, and the present has some work cut out for you, Never growl at your partner's play, but let no one growl at you, when ypu have done vour best. It is sometimes wholesome to show your teeth. Never tell a joke | or story or anything else while you sort your cards, for nobody cares and it takes your minfl away from your business. Try to be 54 good loser. It's the hardest thing in the world. The good loser is next to a great man As a rule, never be a hanger on.
