IThe Lachelor in becotnit.f an object of suspicion to the civilised world. M» I Michael Hicks-Beach resisted the temp* tatlon to tax him, bnfc in frsnee Ire ii ? being threatened with patns and pen*ltt«a, and in the United States a ieost"ietetml&" ed attack Is being made trpcm him. lb the Pennsylvania Legislature * Bill h^ji been Introduced by wltlch every cent.* Ella or biusqtie Benedict ot«r forty wW be compelled to pay ft to* of £25. Tim sum thus raised will go to maintain three homes for sach Maries mi Beatrices fl| have attained the age of forty/who have not had a suitable opportunity or offer of marriage, and who have not in conseqtien* cc sufficient means to keep themselves in clothes and money.' It may be difficult to find(says the Manchester Courier) t th9 lady over forty who will admit that she conla not have married had she felt inclined. Perhaps a 'Defence League' will be the result of these attempts to disturb the peace of mind ot the poor bachelors.

Advice to Boys;

Charles M< Schwab, president of tha United States Steel Corporation, talked for twenty minutes one evening recently to three hundred poor boys of the New York students in St« George's Evening Trades School. Mr. Schwab said, among other things:" The essential feature to success is that yon .perform your tasks better than anybody else. And I want to state that of the truly great men I know | in industrial and manufacturing lines none lis a college-bred man, but they are men who received an industrial or mechanical education, and who worked ap by perse* ver&nce and application. Let me advise yon ell to make an early start in life. The boy with the manual training and the common school education, who can start in life at sixteen or seventeen, can leavtt the boy who goes to college till he is twenty or more so far behind in the race that he can never catch np. This, however, does not apply to the professional life. The other day I was at a gathering of forty successful business men—men fn Industrial and manufacturing business— and the qaestlon arose as to how many were college bred men. Of the forty only two had been graduated from colleges, and the rest of the forty had received only common school educations; had started In life as poor boys. So I say, as parting advice, start early.'

A Critical Case.

A SENIOR INSPECTOR OF POLICE SUBMITS BIS EVIDENCE.

Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills add one more name to the long list of their wonderful cures. It is for those once placod on the verge of the grave, who have been given a loDger term of life by the timely use of this wonderful remedy, to give the Pills their due of praise. Ail who use them give them a good name, bui it is only those who, after a long and dangerous sickness, feel through their use ths rich blood of perfect health in their veins, that can bring warmth and conviction and the clear ring of manly and vigorous truth to their words, Such a man is Senior Ir.ppector W T kangworthy, of Vase, New South Wale?, who writss as follows:—'Dear Sirs, —For many yeara I have been a sufferer from Rheumatism, Constipation, Giddiness, Violent Pains in the head, and a ' Liver,' Colds, Chills, and worse th/m all, Lumbago ; of ocurse, I got temporary relief from doctors and chemifti. At last I read your pamphlet on Dr Morse's Indian Boot Fills, and I considered the vegetable ingredients would not hurt, and took four—then three, and no pain. The change wea wondeful. Instead of leaning against the wall while putting on my trousers, as usual, through giddiness, £ was able to stand upright, and I felt a desire to turn a somersault upon the bed as a boy would, You will laugh. Wd!, airs, it Is « fact* I have used them now occasionally for three years, and carry the little bottle with me on the road when travelling, I reconst mend them to everybody, with good results. Whenever I look at the little bottle, I feel that I owe one debt to you, and 1 will repay it by expressing my gratitude.' (X have no objection to my testimonial being use* relative to the benefit I derived from Dr Morse's Indian Root Pilla—W T Lang, worthy.) Br Morse's Indian Root Pills are a perfeot blood purifier, and a positive ears for biliousness,' indigestion, constipation, headaches, sallow complexion, liver and kidney troubles, piles, pimples, boils and blotches, and female ailments.
