"Brain fag" is the new complaint York. No doubt it will other cities. Peoples who are alway looking for new ailments to complain of generally do not have far fo look. But "brain fag," if it is to reach the highest possible 'limit of popu- larity among the swell set, must be given a more exclusive name, such ag "cerebral fatigue," or something of that gort which does not sound common. "Cerebral decay," wom d be more exactly expressive, but. it is too much so. It leaves nothing to the Imagination, and, to the ailments of thé fdle, imagination is most im- porignt, Busey peopls who have nothing to d> but earn their own living have no idea, of course, of the enormoud strain put upqn people who have con- stantly"to amuse themselves. spread to elf agreeable to oneself is one whicl people who have their pleasures largely supplied for them in their daily labors cannot appreciate, Pgople who: have to work hard have their recreations and enjoy them.

It is an ailment that science ean' do little to remedy. Only common Sense can cure it, and common sense can suggest nothing but purposefu! employment of the fagged brain. IN UNION 18 STRENGTH. Hi is fifty-four years since the first British provinces were united to form the Dominion of Canada. That | union is generatly looked upon as a Success. True, local jealousies still exist! In spite of the Bonne En- tente's efforts, Ontario and Quebec keep spitting at each other occasion- | ally like a couple of cross kittens. The maritime provinces are like a small man in a family of*six-footers, and their motto is: "Wha daur med- dle wi' me?" The west gets impat- lent at our slowness and formality. But still we all stick together some- how, Our™union has survived the test of the war--not without strained joints, to be sure, but that is Dot surprising. On one side were the great majority of Canadians, regarding the war as ® crusade, a sort of religious duty, and unable to comprehend how any one cottld fail to see it that way. On the other side stood a large section of one province, suspicious, stubborn, and sulky, Listening to the reproaches of the rest with a rankling sense of injustice. The split seemed irre- Parable. Yet even at this early date there are signs ot healing; and the Fathers' of Confederation are, rest- ing easy once more, for their work still stands, It was a great work those men did, and well-earned honor they gained. But a fer greater work, and a far greater honor, may be waiting right now for men big enough and bold enough to form a real World Con- federation. Impossible? Well, #t hasn't been tried out, of course; but it's a question whether the conge- quences of trying it could be worse than the results ®f letting things slide. We have a nuoleus already in the League of Nations. H. G. Wells has been making suggestions for a world-wide union, and while you may aot fike oll he says, you must admit there is a good deal of common sense in fit. One point that seems weak in his scheme, however, is the way he in- sists on abolishing patriotism. This oan hardly be done, and would scarce. Ty be desirable anyway. Is it not possible to retain an honest pride in and dove for your own country, while recognizing that her interests must be secondary to thoso of the world as a whole? * / Our union fn Canada has not done away with our local patriotisms. We Still think Onptario the finest provy- Ince, with probably the finest people, ia the dominion. And, curious to relate, 'the Blue-nose has the same belie about Nova Scotia, and so has the Alberta man about his provinee. But loyalty to Canada takes fist Some people might object thet a confederation needs the threat of a common enemy to cement it ory, and that there could be no such thing such & bond is needed: hers wand Stil be common enemies; at ter, however, should soon be dome away with.

WINNERS. | The men who reach the higher places are not cast down by each re- verse, they drape seme smiles around their faces and say the luck might be much worse. Of men | whose fame is now immortal, a vast | percentage started poor; and not for | them did fortune chortle, when they | set forth, dead broke, obscure. They { had bard knocks and kicks, and bririses, and they remarked, when going lame, "In life's grim race the faint heart loses, the brave heart scores and wins the game." The faint hearts quit as roads grow rougher, and to the skies their wails ascend: the fellows built to strive and suffer press on and reach the journey's end. The faint-heart lads are often gift- ed, they well might win some prizes gay; but in hard luck their hands are lifted, and they surrender right away. How many poets, angel-throat- ed, have missed the fame that might be theirs, because their early rhymes were voted too punk to feed to polar bears? How many painters are for- gotten and planted under grassy knolls, because some said their work was rotten, and froze the current of their souls? The faint-heart scout, though wondrous clever, throws down his tools at fortune's frown; the stout-heart guy toils on forever, and gets a mortgage on the town. - -~WALT MASON.
