It brought tears to my eyes." •Mr. Arthur C. Benson, C.V.0., master of Magdalene College, Cambridge-, lectured recently at the Royal Institution oai "Vulgarity is made up.of seff-coniidencc, insolence, and the worship of self," said Jlr. Benson. "It idealises the exploits of man and ignores, God. Germany is 'a terrible ■ example of how men. may be influenced by their vulgarity of soul. Vulgarity turns its back on generosity,"sympathy, justice, and responsibility, and aims at arbitrary, unquestioned, naked power.- The result is that it earns the mistrust and repulsion of tho civilised globe. Germany is not an. empire nor a community, but an evil spirit—the centro of corruption and, dishonour. It is a spirit which can lio and truckle and defer when it serves ite turn, but which in iti day of .seeming triumph Is filled with insolence, ci'ueHy, and suvago vanity."

Bronchitis, asthma, or catarrh AVill "come, your perfect health to mar— Against such ills and risks assure, By purchasing AYoods' Great Peppermint Cure.—Advt.
