CENTENARIKS.
At least three centenaries of note are due this year, the Centenary of Don Quixole, the Centenary of Trafalgar, and the Schiller Cap- tenary of which notice has already bean takon. The first of these is from some points of view by far the most interesting of the three, both for the intrinsic qualities of the Immortal story and of its widespread effect. Schiller is : thoroughly kanen in Germany only, and the battle of Trafalgar has been cherished as a holy memory only in England, but, Don Qal. xala is a cosmopolitan, at home as much under arctic and torrid skies as in those temperats scenes that gave him bình and breeding...
Who is there of all the well-read, civilised world, Brition, Gaul, German, Russian, or what not, who has not laughed over the escapades
of the Knight of La Mancha? Can it be pos
sible that there should be one nation, pay one town of any size anywhere in the world which has not got spinebody with a very warm corner in his heart for Sancho Panza? It cannot. Wherever two or three are gathered together in the name of literature, there is the Don in the midst of them, and that to bless. Wo ora told, how it came to pa's that Sancho was creater!.
.
"At firs there was no Squire'Sancho, and inderd note would have been needed if the original plan of a short satire of the chivalric romance had been adhered to.
"When the tale developed into a realistic portrayal of contemporary Spain, contrasted with the romantic fanents suggested by a. great national aberration, a figure to personify the prosaic reality was pecessary as a foil to the exalted balkicinations of Don Quixote, and Suncho came into existence."
Three hundred years have passed since the publication of this wonderful book, and it is as Greth to-day as it was then, great a delight, and far more widely known. Some of its way- ings and fancies have taken root in English so as to be almost proverbial expressions. When ever one persists in attempting manifestly foolish things, he "tibo at windmills,” just an his great prototype did before him Spain has sunk ninest to nothingners, but her son is greater than ever. His aun has risen never
apparently to set, and has shed its beams with more benignity over foreign realms than over those which gave Cervantes more of poverty and neglect than of wealth or honour,

Indeed, it has never been our custon to rub it in with any who have been unfortunate in conflict against us. Our sporting training is entirely against such a practice.
