Tho Canadian and the Yankee.

Ihave been spending several weeks in
Canada this summer, and have been max
ing a study Of Canadian life and people as
much as Is possible for q superficial OBJ
server. l have found much to interest
and entertain-a little to amuse. To the
average American Canada is terra incog-
nita. have been asked as absurd ques-
tions about Canada by Americans as l
have by Canadians about the states. Just
the border between us, and practically
strangers yet"
To the Canadian the Yankee is an object
Of mingled horror and fascination. He is
Mortified at his contempt for convention
alities, his outspoken scorn of ''that di-
vinity that doth hedge king" the flip
pant illusions to the nobility and the
whole royal family which are frequently
heard on his lips. and at his general, free
and easy, devil-may care recklessness. so
opposed to the cut and dried Canadian
standard. An contraire, he is rather fas-
cinated by his originality, his independ-
ence. at which he msrvels greatly, his
Prodigality. his generosity, and general
hon camaraderie.-Edith Sessions Upper

An appreciative correspondent
writes of the authenticated girl /:
ga red-headed girl, believe, never
turnes brown. That, ! understand
from learned physician, is because
she has too much iron in her blood,
1t is the iron that gives the fine,
Titan hue to her hair. The doctors
know of no way of neutralizing the
effect of the iron. Perhaps they
wouldn't resort to it, even if they
knew it, For it is the iron in the
blood that makes the red-headed
girls so strong and hardy and good
natured. 1t also is the cause of
freckles, which are very good for the
health. And it is noted as singu-
lar thing-probably also having some
relation to the iron in the blood
that mosquitoes never bite red-head-
ed girls. So you see, according to
the dictum of this learned physician,
a red-headed girl has many advanta-
ges over her dark haired sister. -.

Death. from Lead Poisoning.

In the list of deaths from poisoning in
Great Britain-511 in a single year
ninety five. or over one-sixth, were caused
by lead. The people of all civilized coun
tries are in need of special caution con
corning the use of lead Lead pipes, lead
faucets, lead solder, and in many other
forms, lead is a subtle and terrible dan
ger Thousands suffer from lead poison
ing who do not die thereby 1t should
never be used. when by corrosion it can
become an element in food or drink. The
symptoms are SO easily laid to other
causes that it can do serious mischief be
fore its presence is suspected Its use in
red precipitate as q solder on pipes is
specially dangerous. Next to lead, the
cases of poison most numerous were from
opium. then from carbolic acid. Bella
donna and alcohol, aconite, chlorodyne
and hydrochloric acid follow in the list
with nearly equal pace. For suicidal pur
pose carbolic acid was used in fortytwo
cases, morphine. opium and laudanum in
forty-one. The fashion in suicide is very
variable.-Globe- Democrat.

A Peculiar Love Charm.

In the south of France they make a
very peculiar love charm in very pecu
liar way. Under certain ceremonies which
do not understand very well the young
woman catches and boxes up frog in a
box with lot of little holes bored In the
wood. The casket is then buried In an
ant hill and left there for two weeks.

and eat up all his flesh. and all that is left
is the creatures bones. Among these is
shield shaped bone about as large as
ones thumb nail, upon one end of which
is little hook The girl takes this bone

The Hotel Register Must Go.

The register at some of the fashionable
hotels will soon be among the unused if
not among the forgotten things. There
is movement on foot to abolish it en-
tirely, and sooner or later, like good
many other things, it will have to 60.
People are buster now than they used to
be, or else they are lazier. Formerly hotel
guests registered their names and the
places from which they came with good
deal Of accuracy and attention. Now
most of the public men and generally all
lady travellers decline to allow their names
to appear on the book at all. They simply
give their names and places of residence
to the clerk, who notes the same and
sticks the little card containing the in
formation in the office rack. The real
object of the register was to accommodate
the outsider any way, and even in this
respect has fallen into disuse. The
stranger comes in looking for friend
and consults the book, and nine times
out of ten if he does not find the name on
the register he turns and asks the clerk if
the person he seeks is stopping in the
house. This is fast age, and the regis
ter seems to be in the way now on the
hotel desk.-New York Graphic.

We occasionally find now, on the stage

that old time He has been delivering the
same address for half century, with
such slight changes in it from year to
year as would reconcile it to the times.
His speech has never appeared in print,
because it contains nothing worthy Of pub
ication. Indeed, in cold type 1t would be
recognized at once as an absurdity, and
yet it still finds those who applaud its
successive repetitions, and insist that 1t
is the sublimest effort of the human mind.

Old Fashioned Political Oratory

The political oratory of the United
States for the first half of the present
century, If we except the speeches of q
few well known statesmen, had in it lit
tie, if anything, to commend it to the
student. The addresses were as rule,
delivered to outdoor assemblies composed
of men whose education had not been
such as to render them critical as to
either matter or manner. The orator had
full license not only in respect to state
ment of fact, but In every other particu-
lar, for the art Of stenography had not
reached that perfection which enabled
the reporter to catch every word of the
speaker and fasten it forever on the
printed record of the time. To the un-

which covers nearly the whole Southern
territory, and is an important factor in
the progress of the new South.
The contract will move all competition

tract also provides for making Norfolk.

The Mexican Flood.

Tclegraphic communication which has
been interrupted for several days by
floods has been restored and particulars
Of the terrible disaster on the line of the
Mexican Central railway, particularly at
Leon and Silao, are obtained. During
the past ten days the table lands in
the vicinity of Zacatecas have been
visited by unprecedented rains. Every
mountain rivuled along the Central rail-
way for more than 200 miles has been
converted into destructive torrent, and
the valleys present the appearance of
lakes. Many cities and towns have
been inundated and Leon and Silao have
been partially destroyed.
AT least 1900 people were drowned in
Leon alone. Over one thousand bodies
have been recovered. In some districts
the water is full of dead bodies, floating
as thick as drift wood, and the stencil
prevailing the country is almost unbear-
able. All over Mexico, measures are
being taken to raise funds for the relief
Of the sufferers.
