ABOUT THE WAR.
A PROPHECY FULFILLED. The following extract from the life of that distinguished (Jerman, the late Professor Max Muller, written during 1884 and 1S8"). must greatly interest everyone at the present time: "When one reads the discussions in Parliament one might easily fear for England: but they are mere fireworks. The nation is of good old stock, and woo to him who forgets this, England will never be conquered, never before tho last Englishman, the last Scotsman, tho last Irishman—aye, the last Australian, the last Canadian, the last lander, the last Sikh—aye, the last Yankee, has fallen. "Every man in Europe is now a soldier; England is the only land that has not taken to arming tho people. Drive England into a corner, and tomorrow every man is a soldier. There may be jealousies between her colonies, but if it came to extremities tho colonies would allow no hair of England to hj» touched. Even India, which was formerly a danger, has shown that England'* enemies are her enemies."
