happen in this land that the rain mit for three deys, yet the Eng- a ceases not to throw the ball at upright woods, while the striker akes and the watchers run, and all pray for rain to come to bring them a Brest.
As I have now solved the deep pro- blem of the secret of Ealand's greatness, I shall be inore able to trace it effects. For there are other pursuits in the field which have the same object of what is called sport. All here is sport, and the mku who is not a

Obamber of Commerce, having received Hoveral communications from the Decimal Association, are now canvassing members on the question of making a representation
to the Government of India on the subject of the introduction of the metric system into India. The Chamber considers there is little chance of India getting the metric system before its adoption at home, though 76 Chambers in the United Kingdom are in favour of the system.
The days of mythological beliefs have gone. This is an era of science-a mat- ter-of-fact age. The darkness of igno- rance and superstition is giving way to the penetrating light of modern science-the revelation of facts. Modern science has discovered that the best medicinal cod liver oil, in its analysis, may be separated into two distinct parts-one the clarified oil; the other, a mass of certain semi-solid sub. stances, known as extractives. The oil is
not materially different from other fixed. oils and has little or no medicinal value. On the other hand, the extractives are peculiarly active, and the conclusion cannot be avoided that to the presence of these activo principles cod liver oil owes its re- putation as a remedy. No other oil has auch a reputation. No other oil has such constituents. The extractives hold the same relation to cod liver oil that quinine sustains to crude cinchona bark. They are the When curative essence of cod liver oil.
taken as they may be freed from the vile, annecessary oil, their curativo value is greatly increased, for they are not hamper- ed by the presence of the noxious fat. Upon this scientific fact.
Stearns' Wine of Cod Liver Oil
is based. It represents all the qurative properties of the best cod liver oil in a vinous preparation. It also contains the best form of iron, making it also an ideal iron tonic. Wholesale from A: S. Watson
