VICTORIA DAY.
Monday next, Victoria Day, no
issue of The Guardim will be made.
From the year 1837 till the year
1901 the day was honored as the
birthday of the reigning Queen Vic-
toria.
With over-increasing loyalty, fervor
and admiration the people of the
British Empire observed this day un-
til on January 22, 1901 the G00d
Queen passed to her reward.
King Edward on his accession to
the throne as hir successor, moved
b_v a fine spirit of tilial devotion to
hisheloved Mother, and recognising
the love and reverence of the people
for her, requested thit her birthday
instead of his own should he con'
tinued in honor as it was before her
death.
Thus it came about that tho birth-
day of Victoria has been held in
growing honor 'during seventy-t'wo
years past, and will be continued
:luring the years to come.
Victoria Day was declared hy the
Parliament of Canada to be a stat-
uary holiday, and it has also receiv-
ed llke legal distinctfion in other
parts of the British Empire.
BRITAIN AND CANADA.
There is one leaf from the Ameri-
can nook' that Canadians might bor~
row with profit, the leaf fmt teaches
how to instill patriotism into the
hearts of the' children of alien par-
ents. For the teachers in the pub-
lic schools in Canada here is the
grand opportunity. Teach them they
are c tizens of the greatest Empire
the world has ever known. Teach
them that the deeds done and the re-‘
suits gained by the British race
stand without a parallel in the his
tory of the world. The empires of
the Persian Cyrus, or of Rome or oi
Alexander are nought in compasison ,
Leading Tackle .\Ian.
Teach them that Britain's heroes an
oes are Brltain's- heroes and last. 'bail
not least, teach them that they can#
not live on the traditions of the
mighty past, but that they must be
up and doing, and be keenly on- the
alert if't1hey wish to hold that glori-
ous heritage of which they are heirs.
Train the _child-ren to realize that
eternal vigilance i_s the price of lib-
erty, indeed. _Train vhem- to agar. for
the Empire; t:es,el\.tl_)em that if the
can
the
need arises no greater  'qr
come to them than to, dfflar
empire.  - _ '
BOREDOM. ' \
Boredom comes from within and
not frorii without. For a man or
woman to be perpetually expressing
a dread of 'oeing bored is merely an~
other method of explaining to the
world 8 profound contempt: for his or
her own mental capacities. In pro-
tecting that they cannot abide the
idea of staying in this or that place
lor more than two or three days to-`
gether, or are unable to dine with
the So-and~Sos without physical col
lapse, or in short , cannot be con

of our modern world. These are, in
my opinion, .lhortand shallow views.
Canada is-not yet suffering from the
excess of book-learning. On the con-
trary. the imagination oi our people
is starved, and their outlook on life
narrowed, ily the want of knowledge
which might be gained from books."
Such_ie the opinion of one living in
the centre of Canadian life, and best
able to judge truly, owing to the
numerous samples from, all sections

session of their faculties, 'they only
proclaim that they consider their'
faculties very poor possessions. The
man whose mental faculties are real-
ly worth consideration is able to srl
tract entertainment from what to
luller brains appears the slowest
business in the world. The weaker-
minded man who laments to his
friend that You're such a lucky dog,

to realize what a poor figure he cuts
himself. To such as are conscious of!
