what the Thumb Goes.

Have you noticed that when you want
to take hold of anything-a bit of thread,
we will say-that it is always the thumb
who puts himself forward, and that he
is always on one side by himself, while
the rest of the fingers are on the otherp
If the thumb is not helping nothing
stops in your hand, and you don't know
what to do with it. Try, by way of ex-
pertinent, to carry your spoon to your
mouth without putting your thumb to
it, and you will see what long time it
will take you to get through with poor
little plateful OF broth. The thumb is
placed in such q manner on your hand
that it can face each Of the other fingers,
one after the other, or all together, as
You please, and by his we are enabled
to grasp, as with pair of pincers, all
objects, whether large or small. Our
hands owe their perfection of usefulness
to this happy arrangement, which has
been bestowed on no other animal ex-
cept the monkey, our nearest neighbor.

Graves at CullOden.

Many will be Interested to learn that
the graves or trenches in which the bod
les of the unfortunate Highlanders
were buried after the battle Of Culloden
are being cared for by the present pro-
prletor ofthe estate of Culloden. Formerly
tine graves were distinguishable in the
level green sward at the roadside only
by the slightly-raised sod. But stones
bearing the names OF the clans have lust
been erected ut the head of each trench.
On one stone is inscribed the names of
the clans "M'Giilivray, M'Lean and
M'Laucblan," and there are separate
stones for "Cian Stuart ofAppin, ""Clan
Cameron" and Clan Macintosh.
Two graves are marked "Clans mixed"
At the abortive "great cairn" slab
has been placed bearing the following
inscription 1.-The battle of Culloden
was fought on this moor, 10th April.
l746. The graves of the gallant High
ianders who fought for Scotland and
Prince Charlie ara marked by the names
of their clans" The interesting prehis-
tor o remains at @ ava have also received
some attention from the owner of the
property. Some OF the standing stones
which had fallen down have been set up:
unfortunately, one or two have been
made to face in the reverse way from
what they did originally. The place
otherwise has been improved. In clear
ing up the ground round the largest
circle, paved, or rather cause
waved, paths have been discovered lead
ing from the base of the cairn in
straight line 10 three of the outer standing
stones. Local archeologists have also
found a great number of "cup mark.
ings" on the stones i'll this locality. One
stone discovered had cup marks upon
both sides--said to be q very unusual
thing. -Edin5u-gh Sootsman.

british Columbia ha, a great oppor-

securing not only cheaper labor than
California, but concilia;iag the good will
and fixing the attention OF IA people, from
the vast resources and iuchoate wealth of
whose country the veil is only just being
drawn aside, whose commerce is of gre4,
value, and on the completion OF the Cam

able value. British Columbia has many
features in common with California. 1t Is
a country which needs local railways; 1t
Is mining country; it is fruit growing
country. 1t possesses, besides, enormous
resources in timber, lands and fisheries
IF, therefore, British Columbia were to
decide that the undoubted evils of Chi
nese immigration were largely counter
balanced by other considerations, what
would hapen is this: she would by vig>
orous legislation secure that her mines
would be worked on large scale, the
riches OF the country being thus enormous,
iy increased and her treasury swelled;
she would engross nearly all the coal aud
timber trade and much of the fruit trade
of the Pacific Coast, while her fish would
largely supply the markets of the eastern
and central parts of the continent. and
even with Europe no Insignificant COM
merce be within her grasp; her wealth
positively and above all relatively to Cali
iiornis, would develop at a ratio not short
of mathematical; she would literally shoot
ahead as one ofte great seats of COM
merce and industrial activity; and, her
position achieved, size could then apply
herself to the political and social problem
and by the aid of the Dominion parla-
ment deal with that"
