Clecks versus Gardeners in India.

A new departure in native education is being i_.ade in the Nortb-West Pro vinces, The Superintendent of the Government Botanical Gardens ad ' announces his readiness to receive for training in practical garden ing pupils of any age between sixteen and thirty. No fee is charged for in struction, hut tbe pupils must pay the Superintendent' a, suitable allowance. Rupees six per mensem would be a fair allowance for ordinary pupils.' This should afford a good opening for many <_, B.A fail 1 or middle-passman who is unable to secure employment in an office. The demand for competent molees is great and the supply almost nil' Malees there are in multitudes, but not properly trained ones. A good man. can obtain at least twenty rapees a month as gardener, which ig more than the pay of many a clerkship for which B.A's unsuccessfully apply. Then, again, the work of the malee ii pleasanter than that of the clerk, and infinitely more healthy. It is further far more difficult, requires more comruonsen.o and more training, A trained gardener, with a knowledge of botany, is in every way a superior man to the average clerk, whose duties call for no special training and make but little demand on the intellect. If some of the youths of India could be made to appreciate this fact, if they could be made to understand that the skilled labourer is a far more valuable man than the unskilled clerk, it would thsn dawn upon them that there are ia this country occupations other than clerkships open to educated men. Any one can see that the number of clerk ships must necessarily be limited, I while there may be almost no limit to i the number of men who have passed 1 examinations. The supply at present far exeeds the demand for clerks. i Let a few educated men who cannot obtain clerkships apply the knowledge of political economy they should have acquired, and turned to occupations such as gardening where the demand at present exceeds the supply,— limet 9 f India

j Be Took a Notion. «► —: ' Better to take a notion than anything belonging to another man. A notion will do you j good if it be of the right kind* There are good notions and bad notions, hub Mr Creed, of Mayfield street, Drake, N.B.W, had a good notion—-a notion, in fact, which probably saved his life. What better notion can I any man have ? Read what Mr Creed write, to us:—" For a long time I had a very violent oold, such a cold which leads to consumption, or something equally as bad, and had a most uncomfortable rasping cough, whioh used to shake my whole system, and seemed to break me up, I got a notiou that Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills would relieve me. I took them, and the result is thab they cured me." To show his good faith Mr Creed has gob Mr James Allison, proprietor of the Mount Pleasant Hotel, Drake, to witness his signature to the above statement, which we have received. Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills cure such oases, and are a positive cure for Siok Headache Biliousness, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Consti pation, Liver Complaint, Kidney and Female Troubles.
