THROUGH Our EXCHANGES. There js no doubt that the Londoner is too lazy to express his feelings. He is content to be the eternal lookeron. He has acquired the habit of being a spectator. He expects the visitor from the country to do all Ids (•heeling for him. It is a pity, for this lazy, lukewarm London which cares For nothing but its own selfish pleasures is not the London of one's dreams. —James Douglas, in the Daily S T e\vs. The discriminating plug smoker buys GOLDEN EAGLE PLUG. Aromatic, sweet and cool. It is the best of a!: brands. Try a plug—you'll like it. x
"The best men in the field, tin best disciplined men, and the best men in barracks are the men of those regiments which are known for theii Temperance," said Field-Marshal Lord Methuen, in presiding over the annual, meeting of the Royal Army Temperance Association. "They arc more reliable, and they are certainly every bit as smart as the others. There is no movement in the Army which can rank with what has been done by this association. The soldier commands far greater respect than formerly, and it is my firm belief 1 that it is to this association that he owerhis popularity."

X. Brailsford, in the Con temporary Review. "It is worth ai experiment to ascertain whether these gifts, so conspicuous in the individual, can avail to build up a natior with a character of its own. If fortune favors it and the Powers are kind this gifted race may yet have some thing 1 to: add to the value to the com mon stock of European culture."

Discussing the proposal,for a mini mum wage lor British rural laborers the Nation says:—"A minimum wag* would involve a very large proportion ate rise for all the lower-waged dis triets. This wage is certainly no. more than the industry could bear For the industry now bears it, wher ever the proximity of large towns o. of mines brings pressure to bear upoi. surrounding farms. '.Nothing in Mr Wilson .Fox's return is more striking than the statistical proof of this position. The highest wages in England. Wales, Scotland, and Ireland are not where the most fertile land exists, but where the option of more remun erative work obliges farmers to paj higher wages in order to keep the labour on the land. The lowest wages precisely in those counties. Oxfordshire, Cardigan, the Orkneys Caithness, the Mayo, where no neai escape from rural serfdom qualifiei the farmer's power."

An English country parson offers a suggestive reason why it is that people are pool' to-day on ivhat would have been an ample income a century ago. He is a vicar struggling along on an income less than that of many a city clerk. "J am poor," he says, "even though I grow my own Fruit and vegetables, and can eke out my breakfast table with such thing;as mushrooms and honey, which cost me lit tie. of nothing. Even if my family could do as our predecessors did,' bake their.own bread and bre.w their own beer, we should still: feel cramped on the money side. . The correct secret, 1 think,, is the change that from an agricultural country made England an industrial one. All over the globe you generally find the agricultural country rich in foodstuffs and poor in money, and the industrial one creating gold instead of food. You can live well with very little money in the one country ; in the other von have to pay at every step, for the people have to live out of each other instead of out of the soil." Bo fair to your corns—order "An--001," the perfect safety corn shaver, rom your local dealer to-day. Only 2s .1 Immediate comfort guaranteed r vour money back. s
