The late E. H. Harridian had a terse habit of expression. Some of his beliefs and opinions are set forth in the following passages chow from a multitude of interviews wil spooches

The sixth international walking match took ↑ place at Shanghai on November 28th in ideal conditions, the weather being fine and the course hard and dry. There were 23 starters in the event, and the total longth of the course was 18 miles. The competitors were despatched at eight o'clock in the morning, and when the greater part of the course had been covered it became apparent that Amar Singh had the race well in hand, as walking in easy style ho gradually increased his lead. But interest was by no means at ond, for it was evident that there was going Troland and England. Tho it is evor with man.

Matrimony is not essentially a business pro- position. In fact, it never should be regarded as much. But nevertheless marriage often plays an important part in the race for wint is com.. monly called success.

Success is the accomplishment of any ope task as well or better than the same task can be accomplished

by another.

To the young man. who would be a success in life I would give these hints: Always courteous, always be friendly, and do the best you can under all gironmstances. When you marry choose a good woman, a co-operative woman, one who will interest horself in whatever work it may be incumbent upon you to do,

In choosing men, I don't notice the cut of their clothes so much as the shape of their hoads.

An automobilo is the greatest doctor and and drug store in the world. It giveɛ one air, makes him forget, exhilarates him I wish they were cheaper, so the man of moderate means could be provided with this way of getting well I have often wondered whether it was worth while this thing of placing one's whole nerves and phyelimt fores into works of such hinge enterprises. I have longed for the shade, rest and comfort. But there is something man that makes him want to go on, to finish

what he has started.

The people, bare the get-rich-quick bacillus, It's a fearful disease. I's the only menses to this country.

CI truly believe that if wives were to take more interest in their hasbands' affairs we would have a happier world,

THE PERILS OF THE TAKLAMAKAN.

In the concluding part of Dr. Stain's narra tive of his perilons Journey across the "Ses of Sand" is the November number of Travel and Exploration, the interminable search for water is vividly described: The author brings home to the most unimaginative reader the inherent perils of this waterloss waste. The stillen despair of his Shahyar attendants as they labour again and again at the hopeless task of digging wells in the frozen so, sometimes reaching a depth of sixteen feet in vain, is described rigorously and convincingly.

"High sand-couas, with dead tamarisk clumps on the top, closed around us. Nowhere a living bush or tree. Vainly I climbed up the sand- cones and ridges to catch a glimpse of the river- bed which we had been following. Yet suddenly, when the sun was setting, we smerged once more on a short reach of open river-bed. Was it the sume we had followed in the morning or another channel of this confusing delta Little it mattered as, things now stood. A look af the few patches of dry clayey soil aeroso the bed showed that there was no hope of reaching water here. Yet the men, driven by thirst, settled down in sullen despair to dig a well. After eight feet or so no trace of moisture appeared, and the work was stopped. "If was a dismál enough camp. Nothing to ext for the camels but the branches of some-old-t Toghraka still alive by the banks. How glad I was that the patient, hardy animals, upon the strength of which our safety depended, took kindly to the twigs I had cat down for them ! No doubt the cap in the latter was refreshing. Even our hard-tried ponies, which had tasted no water for three days, munched this strange fodder greedily.

Thies much reduced nags and two iron tanke fall of ice represented our available water supply, sufficient to see us humans through six more days, if rations, as for some days back, were kept limited to about one pint per diem por man. It was a small enough allowance, considering that food, too, had to be prepared with it. With some solf-restraint if allayod the worst of thirst. But bow was cus to proach restraint to weary and improvident people like our Shahyar men Some of them quaffed off their water ration almost as soon as it had been poured into their gourds."
