The answer is--378 years.

His Worship: When do you propose to go
said Lord Chatham, in plant of slow growth." People believe in things that they see, and in a broad sense they are right, What is sometimes called blind faith is not faith at all. There must be reason and fact to form a foundation for trust. In regard to a medicine or remedy, for example, people ask,
If 40,000 British soldiers were killed in three "Has it cured others? Have cases like nine years in the Boer War how many will be killed been relieved by it?--Is it in harmony within 378 years with the Japanese? the truths of modern science, and has it a record above suspicion ? If so, it is worthy of confidence; and if I am ever attacked by any of the maladies for which it is commended `shall resort to it in full belief in its power to help me," On these lines
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION has won its high reputation among medical men, and the people of all civilized countries. They trust it for the same reason that they trust in the familiar laws of nature or in the action of common things. This effective remedy is palatable as honey and contains all the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh cod livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cheny. It quickly eradicate; the poisonous, disease-breeding acids and other toxic matters from the system; regulates and promotes the normal action of the organs. gives vigorous appetite and digestion, and is infallible in Prostration-following Fevers, Anemia, Scrofula, Influenza, Wasting Diseases, Throat and Lung. Troubles, etc. Dr. W. A. Young, Canada, says: "Your tasteless pre paration of cod liver oil has given me uniformly satisfactory results, my patients having been of all ages." It is a product of the skill and science of to-day and is successful after the old style modes of treatment have been appealed to in vain To try it is to trust It cannot disappoint to it forever after. you and is effective from the first dose. Sold by chemists everywhere.

The answer is-5,040,000 men.
If the cost of the Hoer war to Great Britain
was 11,115,000,000, how much would a 378 with the case? years' war cost Russia,
The answer is-$140,490,000,000, The above figures, which any boy or girl in a high school can easily verify,—are not to be taken as prophetic. The Russo-Japanese war will probably be a forgotten botror in the twenty-third century:
But the Boer war, with its great expense and loss of life, with its long delays and setbacks. clearly proved that it is no easy task for a large nation to subdue a small one.
The Russians are said to be three to one. This is not a correct statement. It must be remembered that Japan is a united nation, while Russia is composed of thirty or more different nationalities. Every Japanese is ready to fight for his country, but there are many Russian communities that would sooner fight against Russia than for her.
For instance, there are 6,000,000 Jews in Russia Is it likely they will be willing to die to save the Tsar? Are they not to be counted as an element of weakness and not an element of strength in the Russian empire?

Mr. Bowen I will ask your worship to give reasonable time. There are a good many papers to go through, and I understand that the accused also requires time,
The Accused: Yes. A fortnight's time will be quite sufficient for me.
The Magistrate then adjourned the case to the 11th and rath October, and said he would
then see what progress they made in the mat-
ter.
The accused then applied for permission to see his lawyer, either in the Court or at the Head Police Office, before being sent to jail.
The Magistrate: There is no objection to that.
The accused then left the Court through a Treat crowd of spectators, who'bad' assembled the Court room and the corridors to get y look at him.
WIFE FOR SALE.
AN "EXPENSIVE TERROR"
TO BE HAD CHEAP.
A young man of Belfast is anxious to sell his wife cheap, and has advertised the fact in a local paper.
There are 3,000,000 Finns in the Russian empire. Within the last two years their poli- tical liberties have been restricted, and the whole of Finland is alive with the spirit of re-week, of which the wife seeks 285, leaving me He says: "My wager average about 30s, a

There are 12,000,000 Poles in Russia. It is probable that they will be about as loyal to Russia as the Boers are to Great Britain. The Pole may be compelled to carry arms, but no one can expect him to fight with vini and enthusiasm under the Russian flag.
