The onlookers, sitting at their ease in the car and themselves risking nothing, ' saw him regain what he had lost, go for ward. * * » Blood was pouring from mouth, ears and nostrils, and he was badly cut and scratched"- and dead! No wonder that the reporter has occasion to add that, after the part they had played as unintentional causes in this tragedy, "the young men and young women slowly returned to their car. The young men did not jeer au'aiu. The young women had no heart to smile." This principle of "record-breaking" and of insatiable attempt to outdo others is the bane of the age. It is urged that it is the very life of progress. We do not think so. There would lie just as much real pro gress nay, more—in all careers of life if men would leave off pitting them selves so eternally against each othnr and put themselves instead against their own best without regard to what others might have done or be doing. Let each man strive in every walk and relation of life to attain the best of which he is capable, with due regard to the har mony of his own best interests, and let him neither mind if he is distanced by others on the one band, nor be satisfied though be beat all the world on theother, yet fall short of the standard of his own capabilities. So will the harmonious progress of the race be better assured than by all the "record-breaking" and "scorching" possible.—The Sanitarian.
