Review of Reviews. vi E The Lloyd-George programme of public iinance, whose promulgation a year ago pre- cipitated the most remarkable fiscal contro- versy in the history of modern England, was the logical outcome of a situation long wn process »f development. Speaking broadly, it was during England's twenty-twb-year con- test with France that the nation was started upon the career of indebtedness,' public ex- penditnre, and augmented taxation struggle with the Erench 'was easily the cost- Hast of "all*%¥defn wars. Upon it Great Britain expended £831,500,000 ($4,157,500,000), very much more than the aggregate outlay f the nation upon all other wars in which it has had a part since the times of Oliver Cromwell. The consequence was threefold Fhe national debt, which in 1792 stood at augmented by £622,000,000 £237 000,000, In the second place, there was a great leap ipward in ordinary, recurring expenditures: After 1815 the army and navy called for an sutlay of from three tithes the amounts allocated to these in Pitt's frugal budgets prior to war; while the annual interest charge upon the debt had come to he £32,000,000, or upwards of twice the total public expenditure for all purposes in 1792. A third consequence was the piling dip of taxation beyond all precedent, to that a yield of £19,260,000 in 1792 had been raised, by 1815, to £74,500,000. And although after the restoration of peace there was some re- mission of taxation, so that by IBIR the yield had been reduced to 159,500,000, ! far the larger part of the burden imposed by the costs of the French wars has heen carried hy the taxpayers of the realm from that day. was Four Services to the the of But for interest charges imposed by Camper- down and Trafalgar and Waterloo, . Mr. Lbyd-George would have had ample means a year ago for the paying of pensions to the aged and the building of new Dreadnoughts without the necessity of additional taxation A Quaint Old Breton Village. Change seldom visits a Breton village. Its sentiment is of the past, and its people are rooted to theit lirmly their oaks to the soil, Their houses of solid mas onry appear to belong to the ground, sombre in olor as though blackened by the ages and immovable to the end of time. The hotel at the head of the Place bespoke a certain or- dered decorousness not to be trifled with, but the old inn at the foot was- Bohemia itself. Dogs occupied equal room with the proper guests, In the rangy kitchen, the time-dark- ened fireplace was framed in a blazonment of brass and copper utensils, which biinked, flashed, glowed, according to the ever-chang- ! ing humor of the light. Flanking the fire- place were two great Breton beds, one richly carved, into which, at some mysterious hour crept, as into a ship's berth, the mistress and her maids, to dream behind: their latticed : doors as in the days when each man shut ! Yimself from nocturnal prowlers behind such | bars. The dining-room just beyond was | patielled from ceiling to wainscot with the work of many men. It would seem that awst} of the painters of the world had at some time iourneyed to Pont-Aven! Here manners were of the easiest, and after dinner, at which the artists elbowed the collectors of taxes would grow customs as as ¥ ling with quip and repartee. Campaign Against White Plague. "The latest and the most helpful note sounded in the civilized world's campaign against the White Plague is the education of American school-children to» avoid tubercyls osis," asserts the Woman's Home Compan- ion. The campaign itself may be described as a dual movement. On the one hand, are arrayed notification, registration and segre- gation of those tainted with tuberculosis; and for the untainted. The greatest of these is the education of the rising generation, who, through this means, may live to sec tuber- enlosis stamped. out of all civilized countries. So, while municipal governments and private charities are weeding out cases which would spread the disease, supplying outdoor sana- toria for the curable and refuges for the in- pushing the sane and sensible canipaign of education among school-children, with a view to eliminating the disease entirely in the gen- erations to come. The one preventive © tuberculosis is right living. The place.ta teach right living is im the schools. Millions ef children are well worth saving physically as well as mentally. And if twenty-five million children in Amer: jca of this generation are taught hbw not to have tuberenlosis, the disease will not exist for the next generation. The greatest artists have devoied their genius to the drawing of 'cartoons for tapes- try. The celebrated series of the "Acts of the Apostles," hy Raphael, hangs in the gal- leries of the Vitoria and Albert Museum. Charles 1, bought them ior England, acting on the advice of Rubens, s hundred years after Raphael's death. Tapestries worked in Brussels from these cartoons hang in the Vatican, and other sets can be seen in Ma- drid, Berlin, and Vienna. Rubens and his oompatriot Vandyek also made cartoons for the tapestry works, which were established at Mortlake by James 1. and Rourished for 'a century. Several lovely tapestries are also to be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum. | England THE POWER OF KINDNESS. A Name 'Who Won Name For. Justice and ' Humanity to Indians. William Penn, jourider of the. colony ai Peiisy Wariia, was distinguished for justice and humanity in treating with the Indians whose territory he meam to occupy. After bis first purchase he wished to obtain another portion of their lands, and offered to buy ic It was agreed that in exchange for a certain quantity of goods, Penn should have as much land as a young Englishman could walk around i a day. After the land had been measured in this primitive manner, the Indians were greatly Bissatistied, for the youth had walked much faster and farther than they had ex- pected. They said to Penn: "The walker 'cheated us." "How cap that be?" said Penn. "Did not you yourselixs choose to have the fanid measured in tht way?" "True," replied the Indians; "but 'white brother make a big walk" Some of the colonists, insisted that the Indians should be compelled to abide by the bargain. = "Compelled!" exclaimed Penn; "how can yon compel them without blood- shed?" Then turning to the Indiasis, he sald: "Well, brothers, if we have given you too ¥atle for the land, how much more will satisfy you? They asked for additional cloth and fishhooks, which being cheerfully given, they retired perfectly satisfied. The governor, The » Land threatened an advance into Europe, was looking round on his friends, exclaimed: "Oh, how cheap and powerful a thing is kindness! Some of you spoke of compelling these poor creatures to abide by their bargain; 1 have compelled them---but by another and mightier power than that of the sword--the power of kindness." Penn's justice and kindness did not pass unrewarded. The red men became the warm friends of "the white stranger, and towards him and his followers they buried the war-hatchet. And when the colony of Penn. syivania was pressed for provisions daring a time of scarcity, the Indians cheerfully came frward with the product of their hanting.

This castle, of the stately rather than picturesque style of archi- tecture, stands on the alleged site of an earl- jer palace, belonging to Roderick the Great, who filled a plage in history during part of the eighth century. The present structure, which is Norman, and castetated, is one hun- dred years old, and cost a million. pounds sterling to build. Some of its apartments are in 'superb style of ornamentation, the ebony robm especially 'being one of the most beautiful in Europe.

Charles Stelzle, of New York, spoke on "Labor and the Church" "The great mass of indifferent ones are those whose interest in }ife has been destroyed by long hours of labor; by back-breaking toil, who are going through life, not living, but existing," like animals," said the preacher. 4 "Preach hell fire to these? What they need 1s coaching to enable them to get out of the hell in which they are now living. Many would gladly welcome death to get rid of their burden, and would take their own lives if it were not for their obligations to others Men of the church have the power to crush out the modern social evils that are weighing and breaking the hearts of laboring poor. If thy are not crushed out, it means that the men of the church have failed in their re- sponsibility." i pa ------ Read the Vedic literature of Hinduism and you admire it--in spots; read the Buddhist sacred writings, and you find admirable pre- cepts; read the Confucian classics and you receive worthy suggestions for conduct. Read the Bible and you find life, Beyond all other literature, and in an atterly unique manner, the Scriptures somehow impart life. They start new spirit-impulses. They make over character.

Made a Battery of Attack. The British mail brought reports of a ser- mon given in Manchester by the Archdeacon of London, Dr. Sinclair, in which a very generous comstruction was. pit upon the ethical side of liquor indulgence. At once the newspapers made him the battery of attack, inflamed by a report that the Archdeacon held brewery stock, of face value of $10,000. The Archdeacon has written to the press this statement: "I do not often trouble the newspapers with correspondence, but a contracted report of a sermon sometimes fails to do strict justice to what was said. The greater part of my ser- mon at Manchester was directed to the differ- ence between right and wrong, and I urged the members: of the trade who were before me to cultivate honesty, sincerity, and truth- fulness, and te avoid covetousmess, anger, re- venge, and hatred dealings with their fellow men, to consider the gravity of leading others "into sin," as is the case of su aauch wrongdoing: an evil emphasized by eur Lord's tremendous de- nunciation, which gives the ideal for the pro- tection of children from all wrong: "Whoso- ever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in Me" etc. 1 warned them that "many working men and women spend more than they should in induigence in drink, a fact which I had deplored in many a sermon for temperance, though that cause was un< doubtedly gaining strength through education, a result which I, who had been throughout my life a strong advocate in its favor, re- joiced to see 1 reménded them that it is from the heart that come those tainted issues which defile human nature. At the same time I could not join iu the wholesale -condemna=- tion of a trade which, as absolutely demanded by the vast majority of 'the people, needed improvement rather than forcible suppres- sion. I said that while the abuse of alcoholic! beverages was condemned in Scripture as we! should wish it to be, the legitimate use was| nowhere disconraged. My allusion to the example of Christ was not in tht least as to the conduct of public-houses, but as to the fact that neither by precept nor practice did He judge the habits of lis countrymen: hy His contrast of 'His ewn custom with that of St. Jobn Baptist the Nazarite, and in other ways. le showed that He ate and drank whatever was put hefpre Him, like anybody else. Strange, and | must add unscholarly, arguments are used to minimize or get rid of the miracle of Cana in Galilee; all 1 ask is that candid persons should look facts in the face. 1 sympathize in the highest degree with every abstainer who is added to the roll; all that 1 plead is that they should not judge others, Jest they, too, should be judged.

"No," was the answer; "he must see that the milk sold is pure, with no watér of chalk mixed with it." "Would chalk or water poison the milk?" "Is he going to arrest pay for it" Passing a whiskey saloon, a man staggered out, struck his head against a lamp-post, and fell to the sidewalk. "What is the matter with that man?" "He is full of bad whiskey." "Is it poison?" "Yes; a deadly poison," was the answer. "Do you watch the selling of whiskey as you do the milk?" asked the Japanese. "Np." At the markets they found a man looking understand your country," said the Jap. "Yon watch the meat and the milk, and let men sell whiskey as 'much as they please" We Are Never So Impartial. Toronto News, A few months ago a New York Chinaman was accused of luring a Sunday school teéach- er to his rooms and there doing her to death, The publication of the story caused wide spread indignation, and throughbut the coun- try men and newspapers rained indiscriminate denunciations up on the unprotected heads of Orientdls domiciled in America. New York has again been the scene of a brutal abduc- tion and murder of a young girl. This time the accused is a white man, but no general condemnation of the Caucasians results, nor is /it demanded that all whites be expelled from this continent summarily. Our sense of justice still 'is tempered by the color of the offender's skin. The difficulty of harmonizing two divergent civilizations make it necessary to oppose the admission of Asiatics, but those permitted to land should be treated reason ably Are Good Manners Vanishing?

In the education of our boys and girls the last thing to which attention is given is their manners.
