The Fool,

There lived fool in the world. For
a long time he remained content and
happy; but slowly rumors reached him
that everywhere he was held to be q
brainless idiot
Grieved was the fool, and began to
think how he could stop these ISLANDERS.
A sudden idea lightened his poor,
darkened brain, and without delay he
began to execute it.
He met an acquaintance on the street,
who praised highly renowned
painter.
"Mercy!' exclaimed the fool, ''this
painter is almost forgotten. You do
not know that? l did not expect to
find you so naif. You are behind the
timer
His acquaintance blushed, and hur-
riedly agreed with the fool.
what beautiful book / read to-
day." another acquaintance said to
him.
BEG pardon! are you not ashamed?
This book is good for nothing; all have
long ago abandoned it. "
And his acquaintance also made haste
to quickly agree with the fool.
''What a marvellous man is my friend,
N.N.n' said third acquaintance to the
fool.
Why" exclaimed the fool, IN. n.
is known to be a scoundrel! to have
robbed all his relatives! Who does not
know that9 | pity you"
The third acquaintance did as the
others, and forgot his friend. Whose
ever or whatsoever was praised in the
presence of the fool, he made always a
similar reply, adding sometimes the
refrain, ''And you believe yet in au-
thorities?"
Malicious, captious mani began
the FOOLS acquaintance to say of him,
'but what head!" ''And what 3
tongue!" added others. .'Ah! he is a
man of talentr
1t ended in a publishers asking the
fool to control the critical section of his
paper; and he begin to beguile every
body, without changing his expressions
or EXPLANATIONS
And now he who inveighed so much
against authorities is himself an authori-
ty, and the youth worship and fear
him. And what are the poor youth to
do? If even it is not proper, generally
speaking, to worship, fail to do it here
and you will be pronounced stupid.

The Future of Canada.

Not until the east and west shores of
British North America are connected
will Canadians and Englishmen thor
Oughly appreciate the capacities of the
dominion. The era Of ''booms" will
soon set in in Canada, if it has not set
in already. Mighty railways, like the
Pacific lines of America do for a coun-
try in few years Or even months what
a century Of creaking wagons will fail
to do. Towns and tillage appear as if
by fairy bidding AS the road nears
completion the enthusiasm of the work
ers grows apace. The sight of the Pa
cific will be a tonic as invigorating as
was the sight Of the sea to the ten thou
sand. When the three thousand miles
of line are finished the progress of the
Dominion will have assumed another
phase. That Canada has q great future
in store no one doubts. The Dominion
has its Wildernesses, but they are far
less frequent than its GASES. The Sc
we're cold in winter, which is the only
drawback to the rich lands of Manito-
ba, should create 4 hardy race of men,
unless experience contradicts itself.
With inexhaustiDle cereal and mineral
wealth, the Canadian northwest is at
that happy state of social development
when there is land enough for every
body, when labor is highly paid and
when it is not worth a mans life to be
lazy. 1t is the golden age of a country
about which it cannot make too much
while it lasts. But, just rs children
are impatient to become men,a country
is ashamed of its childhood and hastens
to reach maturity. The Dominion is
anxious to fill large place in the eye
of the world, and one may safely
prophesy its success. Given a vast and
rich country, with an energetic popula-
ton communicating its energy to every
settler who sets foot on its shores, and
railway traversing the land from one
end to the other, nothing snort of the
superhuman would seem able to stop
the Dominion from career of pros
perity.-LOndO72 Times.

English and American Genius.

Men of letters have lightly overleaped
all political boundaries and obstacles
Our wares may be excluded from the
markets of the United States: but there
is and must bereci procity in all the pro-
auctions of science and imagination.
Our authors were the first taste the
fruits of this tendency toward unity.
Their books circulated sometimes
even without their leave) in the United
States as widely as here. Mr.. Arnold
for example, who has just gone there.
will find that his poems and essays are
as readily procurable in bookstores on
Broadway or Chestnut street as in
London. A reputation achieved here
in any walk of literature is also forth
with won in Philadelphia and Chicago.
A novel or poem can no more be sue
cessful in London and ignored in Birm-
ingham than it can be much read in
England and little known to the
educated public of the United States.
And now actors begin to reap the same
advantages as poets and novelists have
long enjoyed. Mr.. Booth and Miss
Anderson meet here with warm ad-
mirers: and Mr.. Irving and Miss Ellen
1erry, 10 all appearance, Will nave no
cause to regret their visit. Multitudes,
we may be sure, will follow the eX-
amples thus set, and marked dramatic
ability will be welcomed in both coun-
tries. There is no ground for regretting
this growing assimilation of taste. The
lovers of indiY idualism may be certain
that the literature and drama of both
lands will always be distinguished by
minute differences, and that neither
country will be disposed to under value
these because they are not very prom
inent or seen at first glance. 1t will
be strange if this free exchange of
talents does not in the end operate as
an intellectual education not only to
audiences, but to artists, and send the
latter back to their own lands with
some faults corrected or toned down.

depot wanted to see the president.
secretary, superintendent and treasurer
all at once, and it would have done
MN heap of good could he have got
within striking distance of even a
S2O,OUO stakeholder of any of the
railroads entering Detroit. To the
several queries as TO what was on his
mind, he finally replied:
Il WIS coming in from Dearborn this
morning, awalking on the track. Ny
dog Bombo was with me. I've had
that deg five years, and have been
offered $50 for him. He was a little
green about railroads, but in everything
else he was as sharp as a razor. We
had got down about a mile this side
OF the village when I saw a train
coming
And stepped aside?"
''Of course | did. [ own 100 acres of

But he dog?"
''He stopped, too. l reckon it was
the fust time he ever saw a train, bat
he'd have been all right if the engineer
hadn't begun to foot. The mint he
heard that tootin' Bombo begun to
bristle, and while the train was five
hundred feet away he started down the
track to meet it. :"
''Then-?"
We'll" said the man as he mopped
his forehead, lit was leetle too much
for him. An engine and five cars ought
to get away with a dog any day in the
year. He riz about twenty feet high, !
reckon, took slant to the left, and when
he came down he broke the top off a
small tree"
''Well?''
Il mOtioned for the engineer to stop
the train as soon as the dog started.
He could have done it, but wouldn't t.
Indeed, when the train went past me
he leaned out and laffed-yes, sir, LATED
in my face. -
''And you want damages?"

and $500 for the shock to my nervous
system"
''Have you any proofs?''
Il should smile! Even when I'm all
broke up don't try to put the right
boot on the left foot; see that"
And he drew from his pocket hind
leg, two paws, IN ear, and piece OF
the lost CANNES tail and spread them
out on the bench. There was an ex-
pressive silence in the crowd, and
then the highway commissioner called
out:
proofs! Proofs! If them aim

Dancing at Los Angeles.

Echoes from the City of the Angels
is the title of q paper in the December
Century, by II. H. OF the manner
that used to prevail at dances. the
writer says: The Californian fought
as impetuously for his old way of dane
ING as for his political allegiance There
are comical traditions of the mems de-
termination never to wear long trows-
ers to dances; nor to permit dances to
be held in houses or halls, it having
been the practice always to give them
in outdoor booths or bowers with lat.

ed together by thongs of rawhide
''Outside these booths the men sat Cd
their horses looking in at the dancing,
which was chiefly done by the women.
An old man standing in the center of the
Enclosure directs the dances. Stopping
in front of the girl whom he wished to
have join the set, he clapped his hands.
She then rose and took her place on the
floor; if she could not dance, or wished
to decline, she made low bow and re-
sumed her seat.
80 look in on all this was great
sport. Sometimes, unable to resist the
spell, a man would fling himself off his
horse, dash into the inclosure, seize q
girl by the waist whirl around with
her through the dance, then out again
and into the saddle, where he sat. proud

in 1921, the church issued an edict
against that 'escandalOsisima' dance.
the waltz, declaring that whoever dared
to dance it should be communicated,
the merry sinners waltzed on only the
harder and faster, and laughed in their
priests faces. And when the advocates
of decorum, good order, and indoor
dancing, gave their first bail in a pub
lie hall in Los Angeles, the same merry
outdoor party broke every window and
door in the building and put stop to
the festivity. They persisted in taking
this same summary vengeance on oc-
casion after occasion, until finally, any
person wishing to give ball in his own
house was forced to surround the house
by Gordon of police to protect it..

seems to have been made in Egypt at
some remote period and is in excellent
preservation, except that long crack
mars the lid. None of the .nem 5ers of
the board could remember having ever
seen it before until finally an old
gentleman dimly recalled an impression
that it was the tomb of an Egyptian
monarch and had been presented to
the college as receptacle for the re-
mains of Stephen Girard. An inquiry
has been instituted, and if the sarco-

mouth was all on one side. and every

he would bite off his ear. There were

Found in the Great Deep.

The United States Fish Commission
steamer, the Albatross, has returned
from a five months cruise, and is now
moored at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The special work of the investigating
party of theAlbatross was fish discovery
in deep sea dredgings.
The Albatross has worked in greater
depths than have ever before been
sounded with such heavy tgawl, having
dredged 2, 949 fathoms, or about three
or one-third miles, and brought up
living creatures from this depth. 1t
required Al 900 fathoms of steel rope to
accomplish this feat and over three
hours to pay it out. This, in latitude
81 and longitude Co. SO, about 800
miles from No Mans Land, or half
way to the Bermudas. At the bottom
were found globigerin@, or the soft
ooze common at great depths, and
SeveraleSpecieS of fish hitherto unknown
to science. A peculiar scarlet shrimp,
| about foot in length, with an enorm-
Gus quantity of eggs, each containing a
large globule of oil were found.
Among the peculiarities was novel
species of flea, eight inches in length,
with the jumping power peculiar to the
genera. The Albatross is going on a
scientific expedition to the Spanish
Main, and will be equipped with cleo
tric light, SO that she can prosecute her
work by night.--NeIO York Star.
