For be it known that in these matters, much as we may be disposed to blame conditions and circumstances surrounding us, every man is largely responsible for what he is and what he has. There is very often a wonderful difierence between having what men wâ€"w ment of profitable recreation. The one very likely unfits the partaker for subsequent labor, while the oth- er refreshens him for it. The one spells license, while the other means true liberty. It is every man’s pri- vilege, truly, to live a full and com- plete life, but if the individual fails to exercise restraining common sense in planning his pleasures, his life will most likely be, in a literal sense too full and a completeâ€"failure.“ . Usually the trouble with men is that the thing they Want most in the way of pleasure or recreation is the thing they imagine they really need. It is very often not so at all. In this respect we are all to an extent still children. with this diflerence: that in our cases the restraining; guiding hand of a wise parent is not holding us in check. We are our own hoes so far as the limitations of ment of lfl choose. not is but ourselves.

We shall be expected- 'to believe that it is all a coincidence, but there is room for'suspicion that management has quite as much to 'do with it as luck. ‘ #:LL .“v-u Maybe all this has happened with- out the prompting of outsiders.

" When the Moors left off fighting the French ‘ the fighers gave another course to‘ , their energies. They deposed the Sul- ltan, who was a man of peace, and put .another in his stead, one . domin- ated by the crafty and capable Rais- uli.

' AN ARMY DEMAND“ Nothing more strikingly demon- strates the great development of the Canadian West than the annually in- creasing demand !or hands to take care of the increasing vest. A few years 880 handful of grain ham v wwâ€"w' a formidable army. This fact shows at ‘ once the wonderful development that is going forward and the oppor- tunities that are offered enterprising young men to secuse employment, whose remuneration derives or should derive its chief importance from be- ing considered as means and oppor- tunity of the farm hands themselves. becoming settlers, prosperous owners of farms 'and employek of farm hands. The growth of the west gives n“... â€"â€". an importance to the trade activity, and prosperity of the east, so that in this sense the terms west and cast are compounded, and, in eflect. in- distinguishable. If the west, which is estimated at 12 ,- 000.000 or 140 millions, only aflords eighty million bushels, for export marketing, this at $1.25 a bushel, will mean new wealth to the extent of 3100001000. A few such crops will $100,000,000. A few sucn crox pay at this rate for 118.11 a trans-continental railways which such crops and am: would be an impossibility. With all its sins, says the Hamil- ton ‘SpeCtator, the Laurier Adminis- ti'ation has done one act that will redound ’to its credit for all time. While the British Government is pro- viding for old age of thriftless citi- - A-_ A- zens and placing a perpetual tax on the industrious, the Canadian Gov- ernment comes in with a new gospel of self-help and plans that every man . uv-â€" _--‘ and woman can provide an annuity for the days when they are unable to earn a living. The British plan fost- ers pauperism by providing pensions for the improvident who live from hand to mouth, spending their carn- ings without one thought of the mor- row. The Canadian plan begins with youth, and educates boys and girls to lay by even as small a' sum as 25 cents weekly, so that when they reach the age of 55 or 60 years they will have an assured income that will at least make them independent of the world. It begets a spirit of pride instead of dependency. The larger the weekly sum paid the larger the an- nuity; none less than $50 a year can be 'paid, and none more than $600. Once a person begins to save money by opening an account in a savings bank, the habit becomes fixed every pay-day, and things will be made to bend to that purpose. The plan is simple and easily understood, and ‘the heme of Sir Richard Cartwright will 'be a blessing in every home where advantage is taken of the an- nuity. Dr. Samson, 0!
