Mr. Robert Lansing, the present American Secretary of State, and successor of the now almost forgotten Mr. Wiliam Jennings Bryan.

The mantle of Mr. Bryan--which never did fit that statesman on gracefully has fallen un shoulders weil able to support it with

They speak of the gradual exhaustion of Germany. of Germany being gradually used up, of the impossibility for her to go on bearing the strain of war, and of the certain prepect that she will be defeated for lack of men to fill up ber army.

Two main things, in the opinion of Mr. Yangco, are considered essential to a successful cultivation of rice in the islands, one the establishment of systems of irrigation and the other the eradication, at the earliest possible date, of rinderpost. Mr. Yangco also took up the question of the extension of agricultural education Mr. Yangoo divided his in Los Baños,

When one or more people desire to establish a systein on their estates, he says, the Government ought to assist them in securing the right of way for the canals, and the construe tors ought to be invested with the faculty of expropriation to that end.

THE MAN WHO WINS.

The following from an American journal may be taken to heart by men of every race and colour:-

The man who wins is an average man : Not built on any peculier plan, Not blest with any poculiar luck: Just steady and earnest and full of

pluck.

When asked a question he does not 34 guess He knows, and answers "No" or

"Yes": When set a task that the rest can't de, He buckles down till he pulls it

through.

Three things he's learned: that the man

who tries

Finds forour in his employer's eyes; That it pays to know more than one

thing well, That it doesn't pay all he knows to tell.

So he works till one fine day There's a better job with bigger pay, And the men who shirked whenever

they could

Are hossed by the man whose work

made good,

For men who wins is the man who

works,

Whe walther hour not trouble shirks,

Wo his hands, his head, his eyes: The man who wins is the man who tries,
