solemn injunction to the nation and the Empire: The foundations of national glory are set in the homes of the people. They will only remain unshaken while the family life of our nation is strong, simple, and pure." To all he said in effect Honour woman, woman as she is seen at her purest and best, in the! shelter of the home, whether as wife, mother, or daughter." Woman in Eng- land, he said, was worthy of the highest bonour; aho had done magnificent work for the nation; she had faced nearly al the worst horrors of war, and woord if permitted. Save shirked none. She had leapt the barriers of inexperience and proved her capacity in nearly every apher-of-usefulness-sho had of necessity mingled freely, and almost always hon- ourably with men in the enforced task of national preservation.If she had been, as some said, a little coarsened by the contact, it was only fair to remember that women tended to be what men ex- pected them to be, and that if it was the worst in manhood that often dragged womanhood to its own level, yet it was the best in man that drew out the best from woman. The crumbling to decay of the wonderful Greek civilisation' and the magnificent Roman Empire was due to the degradation of woman and the con- sequent loss of regard for the honour of family life. While that disintegration was going steadily on a race as yet half civilised-was-ripening towards ita un dreams of responsibility; the ancestor of the Britop was unconsciously preparing for the leadership of the world, and already an admiring Roman writer had foreshadowed his quality. "Only in the far horizon of the North," so he wrote.
is there a streak of light, fitful indeed as the sunbeam among those starmy re- gions There a half-nomad race, fallen into wild idolatry and in perpetual feud among their tribes, yet have this single distinction, above their personal bravery and freedom, that they honour women. They have but their yoke of oxen, their caparisoned horse; and their arms: but what they have they give in marriage to the partner of their choice, as a token that she is to share with them every labour and danger of life, all its battle, but the glory and suffering alike. They have, and they are almost alone among barbarians in having, but one wile, aud. they are faithful to her. No youth, no beauty, no wealth will make up in their eyes for the loss of virtue in woman" So the Briton of old, though heathen, honoured woman, and was almost alone in doing so at the time when Christ came to teach the world that woman must be held in honour.

GOLFERS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
The Times of August 25th states:→→ "A party of golfers had a remarkable experience on the Harrow Hill course during the severe thunderstorm of Tues- day afternoon. They were all struck by lightning and thrown to the ground, but except in the case of one man, whose hair was singed, they escaped any ill-effects other than shock.
Mr. Walter Fenn, a poulterer, of Frith street, W., and Mr. Neal Christey, wine merchant, of Jermyn-street, &W., who are members of the Eccentric Club, wers engaged in a foursome with Mr. S. T.

He has sent to Builder about four columns of abuse of the modern house, with some suggestions for improvement. He draws a delightful pen picture of himself in a paragraph on "Balls":
"Halla-The hall is generally a monument of man's ignorance of re- quirements. I have actually lived in two houses in good parts of London which would not accommodate a peram bulator, and the perambulator could not be got up and down area steps." He takes the different parts of a house one by one:
"Bedrooms. Little better than dirt traps
Windows-Hopelessly wrong: old but usual type, with sashes; tend to breed flics.
"Sinks. Throughout every house are abominable; can in no way have been designed by those who have had exper. ience of their use; too low, to small, too deep."
"Plumbing.-beyond words for the ignorance displayed.

Two men who were not of our party; but who had been playing some distance away, were also thrown down, and the hair of one of them was badly singed. Apparently the steel of our clabs attracted the light- wing, and as we were about to return to the clubhouse with our cluba one of the men shouted to us to throw them down.
We did so, and ran to the clubhouse, which we reached before the rainstorm broke, over the district."
"A curious feature of the incident," added Mr. Fenn, was a sensation as of sand and stones being hurled in our Iaces. We all experienced this, but there are no marks or scratches on us, nor were there sand or stones near where

For one section the latter train is timed to travel at the rate of 78 miles per hour for 13 minutes, which entitles it to claim to be the fastest train in the world.
