> GLIDING rnrro AUTUMN. It is almost imperceptibly we glide; into the minor key of Autumn—"grey Autumn. generous Autumn, with arms all full with tich rare gifts, gifts of fruit, gifts of colour, orous in daily lengthening shadows, Booling rains, soft low winds, which play the ree,urring accompanying note through- out the season of parting. Rosy apples w upon the branches: leaves are dipped ,111 sunset dyes: sunflowers bow their heads j ,tn farewell to the sunlight. "Good-bye" "good-bye" is echoed from flower to flower, irora leaf to leaf. Ripened cornfields bend before the breathing of the wind, as she Miispers in passing her last "farewell." ilere and everywhere "Summer smiles through parting tears." — Burton.

THE SCHOOL OF LIFE. Life is a school. This world is a house of I instruction. It is not a prison nor a penit- entiary, nor a palace of ease, nor an amphi- theatre for games -and spectacles: it is a School. And this view of life is the only lie that answers the great question, solves he great problem of life. For what is life .ven? If for enjoyment alone, if for suffer- Ina, merely, it is a chaos of contradictions. ut if for moral and spiritual learning, then Everything is full of significance—full of sdom. And this view, too, is of the ut- most practical importance. It immediately pt esents to us, and presses upon us the Question—What are we learning? And is :tlot this, truly, the great question? When Jour son comes home to you at the annual Vacation. it is the first question in your lioughts concerning him; and you ask him, i r vou ask for the certificates and testimon- als of his teachers, to give you some evi- ence of his learning! At every passing rm in the great school of life, also, this is the all-important question. What has a man ,got from the experience, discipline, oppor- tunity of any past period? Not what he has fathered together in the shape of any tang- ible good; but what has he got—in that Other and eternal treasure house—his mind? ftot what uf outward accommodation the 4iteral scholar has had, should we think it IruifS worth our while to inquire; not Whether his text-books had been in splendid bindings; not whether his study-table had Wen of rich cabinet work and his chair ()ft.1v cushioned; not whether the school- house in which he had studied were ot Majestic size, or adorned with columns and porticos; let' him have got a good education, and it would be of comparatively little '1nomElnt' how or \ghere he got it. We should "Hot ask what honours he had obtained, but jus proofs of his progress. Let him have 4 £ radv&ted atlthe most illustrious university, 'or 'have gained, through some mistake, its highest distinctions, and still be essentially deficient in mind or in accomplishment, and that fatal defect would sink "toO every parent's heart as a heavy and unalloviated ,II. -1.. •aisappointinitiu. 1 And are such questions and considerations 'any less appropriate to the great school of life, whose entire course is an education for virtue, happiness, and heaven? "0 God!" Exclaims the Psalmist, "thou hast taught me from my *youfK." Life, I repeat,, i.t a school. The periods of life are its terms; vitll human conditions are but its forms; all 'human ernploymjents its lessons. Families are the primary departments of this moral education; the various circles of society, its adviinced stages; kingdoms are its univer- sities1; the world is but the material struc- ture huilt. for the administration of its teachigs and it is lifted up in the heavens, anO jorne through its annual circuits, for no end but this. Life, I say again, is a JSchool and all its periods—infancy, youth, manhood, and age, have their appropriate I tasks' in this school. Dewey.

mn ..tt.xrn Saved From Death I GHAS. LORDES BILE BEANS RESCUE A SALVATIONIST. INDIGESTION. ANAEMIA, HEADACHES, AND FAINTING FITS SINCE CHILDHOOD. SOLEMN DECLARATION BEFORE A COMMISSIONER OF OATHS. No more wonderful proof of the power of Chas. Forde's Bile Beans could! be given than that supplied by Mrs. Lizzie Grantham, a Salvationist of 205, Stafford Street, Bur- ton-on-Trent. Chas. Forde's thoroughly triumphed, in a few m6nths, over complaints that had for years defied doctors, hospitals and medicines, showing once again the im- mense superiority of Chas. Forde's original and genuine remedy over mineral pills and worthless imitations which the great success of Chas. Forde's Bile Beans has called forth. To the "Burton Dailv Mail" rAnort,ç,r M"NII if Grantham said:—"All my life I suffered from anaemia and indigestion. When I was 18, I spent eight months in hispitals, but I de- rived no benefit whatever. For years I was subject to fainting fits, and often when out marching with the Salvation Army my com- rades have had to carry me into neighbour's houses, or into Barracks, in a dead faint. The indigestion was so severe that I was afraid to eat, knowing full well what awful pains would follow. I was depressed and miserable, and I couldn't walk upstairs without resting on almost every step. I bad awful pains across the chest, and was racked with chronic headaches. In January, 1905, two doctors and a nurse were attending me. I was poulticed back and front. While I lay so ill, my sis- ter gave me some 'Chas. Forde's' When I had taken the first box xl was easier. I put yrevething else on one side and persevered with 'Chas. Forde's,' and in a little time I was able to leave what everyone thought would be my death-bed. My friends were astounded to see me up and looking so well again. Of course I continued with 'Chas. Forde's,' which graduaJly banished my com- plaints and eventually restored me to a state of health which I had never previously known. For two and a half years now I have en- joyed sound health, which is what I never before possessed in mv life. The fainting fits have entirely ceased, the indigestion and ansemia have left me. and I am feeling strong and vigorous. Only a short time ago I walked from Ashby-de-la-Zouch to my home, a distance of ten miles, without a break, a thing that I should have thought madness to attempt before I took Chas. Forde's' I ait always recommending Chas. Forde's Bile Beans, but the best testimonial 'Chas. Forde's' can ever have is for my friends to see me walking about—looking healthy and strong after being, to all appear- ances, a. dying woman." Mrs. Grantham confirmed the whole of the above statements in a solemn Statutory Declaration, before Mr. Skinner, a Burton- on-Trent Commissioner for Oaths. Care- fully note that it was Chas. Forde that cured Mrs. Grantham's obstinate ailment. No cheap imitations or worthless substitutes would have done this. Don't experiment with your health! "See that vou get C Chs Forde's.' the kind you have always bought.

The annual meetings were held at Llau- uwchllyn last week, when representatives attended from all parts of the county. The Rev. 0: Lloyd Owen (Bontddu), the secretary, reported on the work of the year. He said the number of public-houses was reduced by one, the license of a house at Dyffryn being referred to the Licensing Com- mittee for compensation. The villagers at Gwyddelwern succeeded in defeating an attempt to renew an old licensed house. They wished to compliment. the county on the new appointment to the chief constable- ship. The work done at Dolgelley and Cor- wen shows by lady friends catering was con- sidered an admirable service on behalf of temperance. The chief work done during the year was the establishment of a temperance house as a counter-attraction to the public- house. At Trawsfynydd the County Associa- tion had bought a splendid hotel. Already 1,950 shares had been taken, and hopes were entertained that the remainder would be taken un at once. The first subject for discussion was The "Y of the children: The best means to keep pure as regards habits and conduct." Papers were read by Dr. Jones, Harlech and Mr. Ivor Jones (Corris), and Miss Williams (London) addressed the conference. The Rev. R. E. Davies (Dinas) opened another discussion on "The dangers of the public- house in rural villages, and how to counter- act them." The afternoon conference was presided over by Mr. E. L. Rowlands (Aber- dovey). The Rev. J. Owen (Festiniog) and others delivered addresses on the duty of Christian people to support the temperance cause. Miss Lewis (Aberdovey) related the work doie by the v Women's Temperance Union.

P' WISE COUNSEL. Let no enthusiasm for humanity, no Hgue wild desire for human progress, no assion for fame, even of the noblest sort, ad you into places where you do not be- long. As you reverence your own mind, as J"Ou would save it, if you knew how, from blighting touch of those whoi do not Ww and cannot teach, so do you bewaie i defacing another soul by a careless or a Elfish touch. As you reverence the Divine possibilities within your own soul, so I en- tat you to bow yourselves humbly in the presence of these possibilities in others. Ut from you all arrogance and affection, spurious humility, every form of vain, foolish show. Be content to do the £ Ung -you can do. doing it always with your ^ight. Then every increase of your personal War will be an addition to the public ealt"h) then the progressive perfection of r hfe will be a benefaction to your fel- tjn-men. I —Bishop Knox-Little. I,

K THE BOUNDLESS SEA. How IlAo infinity itself, rather than its « ytnbol, seems the sea The great bulk of t, the wide spread of it, the far reach of it, j, l'e appalling. Horizon lines are not its undarics, nor blue walls of sky its oonfin- t) g barriers. There is no place of its be- j P inning nor yet again of its ending. Its Continuity is unbroken. The land seems but handful í)f islands sown carelessly here and er-- upon the waters; but the sea stretches e it unceasingly, keeps circling on for ever. 31 be sun never rises, never sets upon this kingdom of the wave. Alternate rounds of ight and day follow each other about the ining surface, but it knows no time, no st, present, or future. It had no youth, Mtoug we speak of its formative period; it 1 *'11 never have age, though we speak of its nturies of existence. Nothing can pre- Colail agtinst it. No climate, no season, no I Convulsion of the globe, can more than agi- tate it for the passing moment. Storms 1 Muffle its surface, winds plough it with ocean Currents, tides sway it in its basin, but it always returns to itself. -J. C. Van Dyke.

Welsh Nationalists. A NEW PARTY PROJECTED. 1\(1. Madden, a Liverpool barrister, well known as a speaker on Liberal and Irish Nationalist platforms, who has taken part in many political campaigns in Flintshire, has informed a correspondent to the "Man- chester Guardian" that Mr. Alfred Elias, of Liverpool intended to come forward as a Welsh Nationalist candidate for the Flint- boroughs at the next election, but would not ask the local Liberal Association to sup- port him, though he would lay his policy be- fore that body. Mr. Elias is, Mr Madden said, co-operating with numerous prominent Welshmen with the object, of forming in Wales a National League, on the lines of the Irish National League. This party will put forward its own candidates, who will be pledged to vote for the national policy, and the national policy will be de- termined by the votes of the party. The League is to have its branches throughout Wales, and also, wherever Welshmen are found, and its objects will be to help for- ward the interests and political independence of Wales. All Welshmen are to be invited I to contribute to the funds, and it is pro- posed to elect an executive committee who will select the candidates for Parliament and control the candidates and members, thus securing a pledge-bound party in Parliament like the Irish party. One of the pledges to be given by the League candidates is that they will not accept any office of profit un- der the Government until the legislative programme of the League is accomplished. Without that pledge it is felt, there would! be no security whatever that the Welsh 1ft members would always support the ''na- tional" policy. "It will be a strange thing," said Mr. Madden, "if out of the millions of Welshmen in Wales and other 10 n_" parts of the world we cannot find 100,000 people to subscribe Is. each per annum, which would give £5,000 a year for the sup- port of the party in Parliament, so that any young man of talent and patriotism who desires to help his country in Parliament shall not be prevented from coming for- -ward, and shall not be open to the charge of venality in accepting various appoint- ments under Government, as is now the case. Mr. Alfred Elias is coming forward on that ticket, and also on the Labour ticket, though he objects, to fight. as a Labour can- didate pure and simple, preferring to rank as a Nationalist."

i. j CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. A JOKE WITH A GUN. Charged with tho manslaughter of his nephew, Stephen Bennett Owen, a farmer's son, 17 years of age, appeared before the Llanidloes (Montgomeryshire) justices on Thursday. The prisoner and an elder brother were returning from shooting, when their two nephews, Alfred and Edward, aged 16 and six respectively, jeered at Stephen from the bedroom window for not shooting rabbits. In a joking manner the prisoner pointed his gun at the window, for- getting that it was loaded. Accidentally he pulled the trigger and Alfred received fatal injuries. The younger boy had a remark- able escape, the window frame being riddled with shot.. The prisoner's father, an old, grey-haired man, in a feeble voice told the Bench that the fatal gun was a borrowed one and he aid not know it was in the house. Many times Steohen had been forbidden to use the gun. The Chairman said that the magistrates could not exonerate the prisoner, and com- mitted' him to the Assizes, bail being allow- ed. The prisoner wept bitterly during the proceedings. The verdict at the inquest was accidental death. >,
