Only three Viceroy-Canning, Law. rence, and the first Lord Minto-are buried in Westminster Abbey, and the last named owes his place rather to the tragic circumstances of his death than to his Indian record.

LORD DUFFERIN'S TACT. It is a natural reflection that such abrupt alternations must be bail for con- tinuity of policy, and it says much for the statesman-like qualities of the Vice- roys that the effects have not been more disastrous. Not all have had the tact of Lord Dufferin, who was at pains to pay homage to the doctrine of continuity ab the moment whẹn hò was least anxious to trend in the exact steps of his pre- decessor, but it has been rare to find way desire to emphasise difforences vicissitudes to party in England have not been allowed unduly to affect the position of a Viceroy, though Lord Mel- tourne revoked an appointment made by Sir Robert Peel in 1837 after the now.

TRUTH ABOUT TEASING.

AN INTERESTING THEORY,

[BY A DOCTOR.]

Toasing is always difficult to endure; but teasing by those we love is unendur able.

And the reason is obvious; in prácti- eally every case the person who teases is person in an ill-humour, a person dissembling anger under the guise of 'merriment.

Helatives not friends may laugh, but, actually, it is no laughing matter. It is not even a laughing matter for the formentor, for those who indulge in teasing betray the fact that they are moral wards. They are willing to strike; but they lack the courage to sirik openly. By a series of small exasperations, each one winged" with mirth, they seek to revenge themselves on their fate

In this connection it is interesting to note the name of Lord Kitchener among those who have unsuccessfully aspired to the office of Viceroy. The catalogue of those who have wished for the office and not received it, or who have refused the offer when made, is indeed nearly as distinguished as that of those who have held it. Philip Francis aspired to it,

It is an in- teresting speculation what the first or the last of these distinguished men would have attempted or accomplished in India But the list as it stands is illustrious enough and includes overy variety of British statesman. The brilliance of the despotic Lord Wellesley finds its foil in the sober 'virtues of Lord Cornwallis, whose short second term, undertaken with the greatest reluctance and ending in his death, was intended to mark the repudiation of the grandiose schemes of his predecessor; the greatness of Dal; housie is followed by the very different greatness of Canning, the supreme, ad-
