British subjects need not be constantly asserting the greatness of the British Empire. Centuries of honourable history have proved that fact. Only grasping, dishonourable action' can rob us of the leading position so justly earned. Private citizens can disgrace the British Empire by indiffer- . ence, greed, and foolish talk. These are the main causes of war; and, if we would be. truly patriotic, we will not be guilty of them. - for subscriptions many changes were 'made in our lists.

He Unfortunately the water is very deep at the point selected, although it is shallow for a few feet out from the shore. Of this fact the young lad was apparently unaware, and he took a sudden drop from which he was unable to extricate himself. Considerable difficulty was experienced be- fore the.body was recovered; but it was finally located in about twenty: feet of water.
