The London Globe makes the unqva)- lified statement that the Government has become seriously bothered on the question

members of the Cabinet, including Mr. Gladstone, refuse to place themselves in the attitude of favoring the appropriation of money necessary to carry out the idea of those of their colleagues favoring a greater amount. All attempte to. settle the differences on this question have thus far failed. ——_—_—_

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS, i Be generous, Meannese makes enemies and breeds distrust.

Be polite. Every smile, every genteel bow is money in your pocket.

Be independent. Do not lean on others to do your thinking or to conquer your difficulties.

Trust to nothing but God and hard work. Inseribe on your banner, “Luck is a fool; piuck is a hero.”

Spend less than you earn. Dv not run in debt. Watch the little leaks, and you <an live on your salary.

Make all the money you can honestly, do all the good you gan with it while you live, and be your own executor.

Be punctual. Keep your appointments. Be ther2 a minute.before time if you have toe lose your dinner to do it.

Be conscientious in the discharge of every duty. Do your werk thoroughly. No boy can rise who slights his work.

;

Work. The world is not going to pay you for loafing. Ninety per cent. of what men call genius is only talent for hard work,

Enter into that business or trade which you like best and for which nature s-ems to have fitted you, providing it is honor- able.

Be honest. Dishonesty seldom makes one rich, and when it does riches is a curse. Thereis no such thing as dishonest success.

Don’t try to begin at the top. Begin at the bottom, and you will have a chance to rise, and will be surer of reaching the top some time.—Evangel.
