There is son elhing strikingly pathe- tic in the thought that the most famil- iar petition in the prayer most com- monly used among all prayers is the one in which we cry. “Give us this day our daily bread.‘ It is the cry of the child looking up to the Father of all and waiting for food for the. present. None has caught the spirit of this prayer who has thought that such a petition made daily toil unnecessary; who has thought of its bringing about that condition of life. ideal to many. in Which the needed meals would fall from the heavens as the suitable seasons be tween sleep and the pursuit of pleasure. The spirit of the prayer puts a higher significance into these simple words. Each day comes with its deep needs. its heavy cares. its high posibllities, its i " ng duties, its splendid joys. and we 2- i; not for three meals or live. but for :* : that the day may have we may find s: ancient strength and sustenance. it takes more than a good breakfast it. equip a man for the day's business. If takes a bracing of the will, some up- l 'L of the heart; it takes some inner im- pulse and power that helps us to see the glory of a new day. to feel the thrill of its possibilities. to face it with de- light, and to find in it every good and every noble thing it may have for us. There are hours every day when the inner light burns dim. when the heart Seems to fail and almost faint, when despair creeps over us and ‘ THE SPIRIT OF PESSIMISM comes up like a bewildering mist. when cynicism's cold fingers lay themselves :ictty on our warm faith in our fellows. Such periods of depression and doubt become habitual with some; they serve to block every high endeavor. These hours simply mean that the in- ner life needs its daily bread; that for the high business of living. for the soul's service in the world, we need the food of the spiritual life. The advice to read a good and noble thought every day. as some. poem. and to see some good picture or to hear an elevating strain of music every day is as simple and practical as the advice to take your meals regularly. The physical plays a large part in life. but it does not play the, largest. Or. if it (loos. then there. are marlmq of this physical that are not, to be exâ€" plored by material observation nor sat.- istied with material supplies. You can afford to neglect. no need of your nature. no aspect. of your life. i\ houriiu-lio is just. as real us an ache in the empty stomach. The tragedy of all our lives is that we seek to satisfy them with the bread that pertslnxs; divine an they are. we seek to tie them down, to the dust. We shut out heaven and cry aloud in deâ€" spair that earth is so dark and its tasks so lrksome. Lifo becomes hopeless. as it seems to be empty of things to Sillr isfy the higher life. Yet this daily bread is not some man- na to fall from the skies. is not some peculiar privilege belonging to a few choice souls. 11‘ is ’1‘0 El“. li.-\l) FOR THE TAKLNG. Our great heritage of cheering thoughts. of noble ideals. of visioi‘is‘ that clovutc and inspire. is at the sumo limo the cheapest and the richest thing obtain- able. To those who look for beauty every common bush is soon atlamo with God; to those who look for love. how won- derfully rich is our poor humanity in gentle kindliness. in tender service. in deep. thrilling sacrifices! They who walk the common ways of life. mingling with men and doing this world's ma- terial tasks, find. if they but have the open mind. that which gives them faith and strength for their daily living and for higher endeavor. What though the toilsome task. may not the heart 0 out in memory of the best though 5 that time ever come to the race. in imagination of heroic scenes. in aspir- ation after the best? May not the will respond to every stimulus and aspira- tion to greater life? May not our hearts feed on those things that have made men brave and Godlike in the past? hands be. tied to is not this our deep need? Is not this the bread we ought daily to desire? For what is life to buy of us if it be no more than the feeding of this outer shell. and what may it not become if it be the nurturing of the whole being by those ideals, and passions. and serv- ice that have most mightily moved our race in days gone by?

Mr. Winston Churchill thus writes of his experience in South Africa:â€" Aft-er Makindu/ Station there is a wonderful Spectacleâ€"~“the plains are crowded with wild animals.

Mr. Churchill tells an interesting story of a rhinoceros hunt. Two mon- sters were seen. and the hunter crept to a distance of 120 yards. “At such a range it is easy to hit so great a target, but the bull's eye is small. I fired. The thud of a bullet which strich with an impact of a ton and a quarter, tearing through hide and muscle and bone. with the hideous en- ergy of cordite. came back distinctly. geeeeoeeeeeeoeeeeeeeeeesee A New Orleans woman was thin. g I Because she did not extract sufficient ncurishment from her food.

SHOCK FOB TEETOTALERS. __ Analysis Showed as Much as Eight Per Cent. Alcohol in Soft Drinks. Teetotalcrs have been roughly shock- ed by the publication of the British Government’s analyses of so-callied ternâ€" p-cranco drinks. which show an aston- ishing percentage of alcohol in certain favorite teetotul beverages. The liquor laws make drinks containing more than 2 per cent. of alcohol taxable as intoxi- cants. but of 4.147 samples of temper- ance drinks. tested in the last four years no fewer than 3.098 exceeded the limit. In a majority of cases the excess was slight. but in several of the samples as much as 8 per cent. of alcohol was' found while in a few 9 and 10 per cent. was revealed. One sample of a mysteri- ous decoction called dandelion stout con- tained 12.3 per cent. The chief offending drinks were gin- ger beer and herb beer. Many samples of these were found to be as intoxicat- ing as claret or hock. while others con- tained as much alcohol as beer. The temperance advocates were startled to learn that a child drinking a pint. of some of the toetotal beverages consumes more alcohol. than is contained in half a pint of champagne. It is admitted that the high percentage is accidental. and that it is due to fermentation in bottling. ......._.._.3._ MOST OFFENSIVE. Captainâ€"if i see your face in my house again I shall slap it."

An American who was suimnonell to a private audience at the. palace the other day said that. tho thing which most impressed him about the Queen was her air of nt<:;i,herlincss. a sort of gentle protecting manner with also a tur'it. appeal to chivalry in it. 'l‘hor-c is no more devoted another in It”. the country than Queen Alexandra has been. no more tender daughter than she was to Queen Victoria. and no more loyal wife. Besides these characteris- tlca her desire is to bestow an almost universal charity. which has to be mo- dified by those who take charge of the money she wishes to distribute. The love of what is beautiful in art makes the Queen choose her gowns and those of her only unmarried daugh- ter with more than the usual woman’s interest in dresses as dresses. To the first lady in the land. soft fabrics. DAIINTY LACES AND RICH FURS all possess an artistic value aside from their charm as adornments. Queen Alexandra sometimes spends half a morning choosing a combina- tion of colors for a. reception gown and the jcwcLs which shall hpr to set it off. All of which seems rather strange when one stops to consider the extreme simplicity of her life and dress in her girlhood days in Denmark. At the courts the Queen is ablaze with precious stones. and at the first of these functions this season. when mourning was ncccssary. her black lace gown was relieved by the rope of pearls she always wears on state 00- casions. This magnificent necklace is part of the I‘lanovcrian crownheiriooms. and consists of five ropes of pearls varying in size from those as large as hazelnuts to those as small as peas. The ropes are of different lengths; the longest. falling below the waist, is fin- ished ‘by two tasscls of matchless stones which extend almost to the bottom of the gown. ' Underneath this necklace the Queen further concealed the sombrencss of her corsagc by “alternate rows of pearl and diamond- ornaments. On her head she wore the beautiful all round crown if pearls and diamonds which she prefers of all her crowns. fair hair and delicately tinted face amid this collection of jewels. she was a vis- ion of beauty. - 1 These exquisite pearls. as has been said. do not really tbelong to Queen Alexandra. nor does the crown she wore. They were inherited from Queen Victoria. who settled them upon the royal estate. so they are the Queen's only during the lifetime of her husband. and after that they will go to THE NEXT QUEEN CONSORT. One crown. however. Queen Victoria ici‘t. personally to Alexandra. This is ’1. diamond tiara which rises to a point in the front and. projecting at the side. is somewhat fan shaped in design. Diamonds and pearls are the Queens favorite jewels. and her anost prized bro-och is one that was given her by the late Lady Cadogan. It is formed of a single pearl of great size and won- derful lustre which was found in an oyster taken from the oyster beds at Clifden in Ireland. Besides all her dog collars. ropes, rings and earrings of precious stones the Queen possesses many jewolied orders which serve to enhance the beauty of her gowns when worn on state occasions, since she always is careful to wear the order which will harmonize with the color of her dress. There is the deep blue of the ribbon of the Garter fasten-ed with diamonds. The Garter itself is worn high up on the left arm with its motto tin jewellcd loitering. Then there is the Portuguese order of Santa Isabel, which is a rose and white ribbon with the diamond buckle, and there many others with varying colors and jewels and representing many countries.

Dyspepsia and Indigestion. Mde. Joseph Beaudoin. 59 Rue St. Olivier. Quebec. P. 0.. Cam. writes: “Pcruna is wonderful for indigestion. I catwhalcver i want and no longer feel any oppression. Having had dys- pepsia for a long time and having tried various other rcxncdlcs.-l decided to try burdens of child bearing and child rearing. but while her expression lacks the gentle. placid sweetness of the Queen’s, hers is nevertheless a pleasing. strong. intelligent face. She cares very little for beautiful jew- els and generally wears none at. all. ex- cept at state affairs. Her gowns are always simple and her coil-lure severe. She feels very strongly that women in high places should be an example to the, rest of womankind and that ex- travagance in dress is bad taste and a ‘bed precedent to follow. It was once mentioned. to the Princess that the extreme severity of the gown she were at some charity gathering had been noticed, and her answer was that she considered it inappropriate to go very splendidly dressed to a fete given in the cause of charity. Like the Queen the Princess of Wales gives largely, subscribing in fact to all the charitable organizations which make demands upon hcr. She is said to take a great interest in the woman suffrage movement and is a frequent visitor and an earnest. listener at the houses of Parliament. In fact. if the Queen repremnts all that is delicate and lovable in the type of woman of years ago. the Princess stands for all that is alert. thoroughly in earnest and deep thinking‘in the twentieth century woman. Yet English' wiscacres shake their heads and say. “She will never have the place in the hearts oft her people which her Ma- jesty has maintained since she first came to England as a bride." .4} T0 CURE LONDON'S INSANE. English Doctor Gives $150,000 to Estab- lish Hospital for Mental‘Diseasc. A gift of £30,000. offered by Dr. Henry Maudsley. of Mayfair. London. the well- known specialist in mental disease. to- wards the csiablishment of a hospital for the treatment of mental diseases. was recently accepted by the Cmiiicil. which passed a resolution of thanks to Dr. Maudsley. ‘ ' Dr. Maudsley stated in an interview that ho had offered the money so that Londtn might have a hospital which could be devoted to three special uses: 1. The early treatment of insanity and mental diseases. to prevent, if pos siblc. the necessity of sending cases to asylums. 2. Research work 1qu the cause and prevention of insanity. 3. Educational work; a medical school for the truining of students in the treat- ment of insanity. “The hospital will not be an asylum." said the doctor. “incurable cases will be transferred to one of the county asy- lums. insanity can often be cured in its early stages by special and individu. a: attention, which cannot be.

' It is wonderful how many women in Canada and the United States have been practically made new again by the use of Peruua. Not the victims of any organic disease. but just a half-dead and half-alive. con- dition. Miserable, dragging pains that keep a woman always from doing her best work. from being her best self. Cross and petulant. perhaps. Maybe even a slattern in her household. just because her health is continually below par. She never feels quite right. She gets the reputation of being sullen. or mor- bid. or ill tempered. llcr trouble is not a moral one at all. it, is simply a physical one. Make such a woman well and she immediately-be- comes transformed into a new being mentally. This is exactly what Peruna has done in a multitude of cases. ' sand and more patients. There will only be accommodation for 100 patients in-thc new hospital. so that each case can be separately treated. The stigma of a lunatic asylum will not. in any way. rest upon patients who have been in the hospital. It will be simply an ordinary hospital where insanity will receive medical attention, just as other diseases are treated in general hospiâ€" tals. “We know now that insanity is caused by toxins. or poisons in the blood. and efforts will be made to diseovcr anti~ toxins for types of insanity." __..__.ol '1 HE EXCELSIOR LIFE lNSURANCE CO. . 1907 a Praslwrous Year.
