Our friend Mayor Cock thinks we did
him an injustice in our comments last week
on his not ordering the school election the
same day with the corporation election. He
says he merely followed the law. We be-
lieve he is right and technically speaking
our comments were misapplied. But sure
ly it would have been easy to have made the
petition conform SO as to have had both
elections OF the same day. However it was
probably quite as well to have them sepa-
rately.

Is Dinner Ready2

Hero was a shepherd dog, owned on
a large farm in Scotland. Some of the
fields where the men worked were at a
distance from the house.
Hero liked to go with the men and
stay near them while they were at
work. They would know by the shad-
ows on the mountains when it was
nearly noon. Sometime, when they
were very hungry they told Hero to go
and see whether dinner was ready. Hero
knew well what this meant. He would
90 to the house and look in at the Etch-
en- door. Then he would return with
his answer.
How did he know, and how could he
tell the men? The family used what is
called trivet-table. This is not often
seen here. but is common in Scotland.
1t is table which, when not in use,
can be folded up against the wall to
make room, and let down when wanted.
If the table were let down, and a ket-
tie of broth stood on the hearth, Hero
ran joyfully back to the field, and frisked
about, wagging his tail, and tapping
with his tongue. But if these signs of
dinner were wanting, he walked slowly
back, with dropping ears and tail, and
crept behind his master. This a true
story.-Our Little Ones.

When he took command of the arm

Chattanooga as quietly as though he
had been under arrest. The morning
after his arrival was one of band of
soldiers engaged in tumbling boxes of
crackers into the wagons of supply
train. We did not like the work; we
were not taking much pains to place
the boxes right in the wagon; we
wanted to get them in and go. As /
dropped one box in little recklessly a
quiet shrinking sort of a man, who
had been roaming aimlessly about the
platform, said, with incisive firmness:
t.That won't do, men. Those crackers
are going to men who are starving.

ESOUlMAU BOY HUNTERS.

How the Youngsters Hunt the Reindeer
in the Arctic Regions.
Colonel Glider, of our party, was
very kind to little koomanah. and be-
coming tired of carrying his revolver,
he took off the ordinary wooden pistol
butt and put in longer one, more like
a gun-stock,. and roughly made OF
walnut. He let Koomanah use this
dwarf gun, as the boy could easily
fire it from his shoulder. This. OF
course, increased its accuracy of aim.
as it could be held much steadier. 1t
held six cartridges, and could. there
fore, be fired six times without reload
ing. AS SO wonderful a gun in SO
young a persons possession was
never before known among these
simple people, Koomanah was greatly
elevated in their estimation. and felt
very proud and elated over his fine
weapon.
When we left our mornings camp
for our days journey. the two boys
would walk along, with but little to
do; but if reindeer were seen grazing
on the distant hills, Ahwanak and
Koomanah would take charge of two
of the sledges. while the men seized
their guns and tried to kill some OF
the deer. If the reindeer were directly
in our path, the dogs and sledges halt
ed, and the two boys had only to
stand guard; but if they were off our
track, then the sledges kept on their
way some man taking the foremost
sledge, and the boys easily driving the
dogs. In case the party halted, the
boys would watch the hunters, and if
they saw one come to the top of a
ridge, and. with one arm extended.
swing his body from perpendicular
nearly to the ground, they knew a
reindeer had been killed, and that two
or three of the dogs were needed to
drag off the body. Then they would
unhitch these from the team and take
them over to the hunter. who would
fasten their traces around the reindeer's
horns, and drag it to the sledge. Oc-
casionally the two boys would try
reindeer hunt on their own hook, and
although they were seldom successful.
not daring to brighten the deer from
the men, who were better hunters, vet
once in while they were rewarded,
and then their eyes would fairly glisten
with JOY and pride. -L5eutcnant Fred

Excessive Fatigue Likely to Result in
Lasting injury.
A fresh horse, fed up and well rested,

its best; while an over-exerted horse.
with muscles facid, and nervous sys-
tenn overdone. may be compared to
spring that has been held in a strong
heat until its elasticity and power of
resistance is gone. In the condition
first referred to, the horse can undergo
severe exertion without danger of the
giving way of parts that are subjected
to strain. while severe strain put upon
tired muscles and igaments may be
likened to severe strain put upon steel
spring deprived of its temper. The lat
ter will let down. and having lost
its power to rebound. in this particular

strained in his tendons. muscles and
ligaments, from which arises that con-
dition known as ''letting down." or
..break down" of the tendons and lig-
aments to such a degree as to permit
the fetlock to rest upon the ground
This giving way in race is not expect
ed to occur early in the contest; as then
all the flexible parts are strong and sup
pie, and up to a point when consider
able fatigue is experienced. the parts
have a liberal store of vital 'vigor.
ample in fact to shield the parts from
harm. Late in a race. however, the
exactions having been about up to the
limit of the horses power, one leg. by
reason of popularity of formation,
previous weakening, or through max
ing misstep, may yield up its integ-
rity and give way in the parts where
either or all of these influences have
been operative. The horse, when
fatieued, and still kept at his work
whether this be hauling load, road or
track work - should be carefully
watched as to his footing; for, if under
a state of tire and relaxation, sudden
slip be made, then, under these cir
cumstances. strain is liable to occur.
Slipping, when relaxation has followed
fatigue. is liable to produce strain in
the hip joint through the foot or feet
slipping backward. or the legs spread
ing apart. In fact, tired condition
opens the way for strain in almost
any location; and care should be OBJ
served to give the horse his hard work

even to making their own
clothes. No female element is al
lowed to enter their lives. As the
Artist watched the picturesque groups
OF men performing their silent labor,
still in the garb of their order,
what effects, tones, values and KEYS of
color were evolved in his mind, as he
noted the sun strike on the rich golden
brown costume of the lay brothers,
forming vivid contrasts to the more
sombre hue of those in full orders!
And how strange it seemed. all this
active life going on round about him
without sound being uttered, to see
them suddenly fall on their knees
while the father whose duty it was
would perform the office. For every
thing is done by rule, and whatever the
occupation, it must be suspended when
the bell sounds for these religious ex-
ercises. Everything was so automaton
like that it almost appeared like en-
chantment. Father Alban, the SUI
perior. at length rallied our absorbed
friend, by asking him if he would not
like to join their order. Yes. if you
will take me in the capacity OF special
artist he laughingly replied. ''Well,
come and live with us a month or two,
and see how you like our
life" This proposition was eager
ly responded to on the part OF
the Artist. but met with indignant
glances from his wife. The worthy
father, who was bit of a wag, quiet
ly gave her a reassuring smile, and
proceeded to give her husband a list
of the rules laid down for the guild
ance of his household. No converse
ton permitted under any circum-
stances, except by special permits
sion of the father, and then as few
words as possible must be used. En-
tire abstinence from meat, fish. eggs,
or butter; very spare quantity of
bread. vegetables, and milk only being
allowed. The brothers were COM
PEELED to rise at = a. m. for prayer
and meditation. Here the worthy
father was interrupted by the Artist
exclaiming very emphatically. mo,
thanks; l won't join" His enthusi-
asm had been visibly dying out dur
ing the fathers recital, and the final
clause provoked downright rebellion.
But they compromised by the Artist,
asking permission to come out the
next day, fully equipped. with sketch
ing appliances. and the genial father
willingly promised to place himself
and the brotherhood at his disposal

A Method of Feminine Adjournment Which
Does Not Lose Its Popularity.
It was predicted that ruchings for
neck and sleeve finishings would go out
of style, but they are too becoming to
decrease in popularity, especially with
ladies whose neck and hands need the
softening influences of the ruching;
those with edge lines of gold or tinsel
are worn, also the pretty ruchings of
crepe lisse.
With dressy toilettes, plated ruches
of pale pink, lilac, cream or blue silk
Grape are worn; they are usually fas-
tened at one side with bow of ribbon.
a jeweled ornament or spray of nat
ural flowers, and sometimes a hand
some finish of rich lace falls below the
plating.
The most distingue neck-finish;ngs
consist of double folds of crepe lisse,
etamine, silk gauze and gold and silver
tulle, canvas or muslin. These folds
are made in white and cream, gold and
silver, or gold with red, pink, blue or
maroon silk gauze, arranged with it in
alternating folds. Even velvet bands
of black or dark colors are used, so that
no white or any tint can show around
the neck.
The band collar generally finishes the
neck OF high bodices, even when other
decorative adjuncts are employed. and
it is surprising to see how many fancies
can be shown at the throat of a stylish
dress. From q number of models NAV
be selected corsage finished with a
shirred standing collar outside of lace
ruching. The next collar is of velvet,
richly beaded and edged with bead
pendants, and near this is collar with
point in back and front on lower por-
ton. A decorative collar is a straight
band OF velvet, edged on both sides
with row of beads and tied at the side
with ribbon. while other collars are
fastened slightly away from the front
