We take the following report from the London Morning Loader of 15ik ult:-The great race is over, and America, in the person of J.J. Hayes, had the honour of providing the whaper. The first man home wat P. Dorando, of Italy, who, however, was disqualified on the ground of having received assistance lozide the

Asli is he was supported by an official during the last so yerda, and the disqualification came as a matter of course, and the race awarded to Hayes, of the United States.

CONFIDENCE mid Lord Chatham, is a 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
Has it cured others? Have cases like mine been relieved by it? Is it in harmony with the truths of modern science, and has it a
confidence and if I am ever attacked by any of the maladies for which it is commended I shall resort to it in full belief in its power to help me." On these lines;
