ing With high hOpo in its future destiny.
Within even five years the completion of u

of foreign Observers to tho Dominion, and in
crossing knowledge OF its soil, area, climate
and resources has caused Canada 10 spring
forward by leaps and bounds in prestige and

Senator Edmunds, senator Morrill, and 9th

British North America, save that the island
OF Newfoundland still remains independent.
In superficial extent il exceeds the United

Never Smiled In Life.

A most remarkable case was brought
to light by the coroner recently during
an inquest on the body of an 1S-year-old
girl who died Thursday night in a one
room shanty which served as n home for
awidow and her six children. Josephine
Grabski, the dead girl, who was the eld-
est of the family, had never walked a
step in her life, she had nev : seen the
light of day, never heard the sound of
voices, never uttered an Ineligible sylla-
BILE since the day of her birth and was
never known to smile.
She ato what was given her, rejecting
nothing, and never making q sign that
she desired more. Tho only feeling that
this semi-inanimate creature ever be-
trayed was when n flower would be
placed in her hand. At the time of her
death her body was no larger than that
of an ordinary ~10-year-old child. All
her limbs were in proportion, but her
knees were drawn up so that she had
never been able to walk. What sur
prised the family and the neighbors most
was the smile on the face of the dead
girl. Her c-ountenance looked like that
of a beautiful angel in sweet repose, and
the lips were parted in a heavenly smile,
though sho had never smiled in her life.

A celleetIon OF Rare Matehe..

!. B. Scott, of Rockford, Ills, has a
collection of moro than thirty antique
watches. They are rare old speci-
mems, being Of Swiss and London
makes, and many of them having
been entirely manufactured by hand.
They are all of old and odd patterns,
Mr.. Scott fondles them with parental
affection, and tires of explain
ing their intricacies.
You have heard of q Tobias
watch" he will remark, diving into
the chest containing them. Here is
one; it was made ninety year ago.
Here's a rare old watch; it is a Jurgen-
sen. The train wheels are of solid
gold, and there are twenty-one rubies
in it"
Mr.. Scott has a number of chronom-
eter movements and one old pendulum
movement. He has several repeating
watches that strike hours, quarters
and minutes. One odd watch has fig
ures on the dial plate to represent a
m striking a bell, and the ham
mer moves when the watch strikes.
Altogether it is a rare collection

Charles B. Lewis, of The Detroit
Free Press, whose humor is so pecu-
liarly American in quality, is a slen-
der man of 40, with good features,
clear, merry eyes and a ready smile.
He began life as a printer on The Free
Press, and was blown into the editorial
by the explosion of an Ohio
steamboat, aided by the facility with
which he described his unusual expe-
rience. Since then Mr.. Lewis has
continued to arnuse America over the
signature of M. Quad, and has con-
fined his talents to the paper which
first recognized them. He is singu-
larly modest concerning his own sue
cess and shirks an interview with
religious care. He writes a queer
little up and down hand-quaint
and full of character and uses
his pen with a rapidity which
leaves SIS" indicted and "ts" IN
crossed. Better literary work than his
southern character sketches, many of
which have been republished in this
magazine, has not been done in this or
any other country. Mr.. Lewis is in
close touch with human nature, and
his Interpretation of it is q marvel.
He is popular with everybody and his
wit is without a sting, whether it
flashes out by word of mouth or touch
of pep.-Current Literature.

Sell Eggs by Weight.

Here is n scene in a grocery: Two
farmers brought in some eggs to sell.
Tho n was evidently proud of his eggs
and proud of the birds that laid them.
He had n flock of fine Plymouth Rocks,
and the eggs they laid were beauties. A
dozen of them weighed thirty mine
ounces, an average of three and a quarter
ounces each. The other farmer brought
In his eggs without saying a word, had
nothing to say of them or the fowls that
laid them. A dozen of his eggs weighed
twenty-one ounces, an average of one
and three-quarter ounces each. Both
lots of eggs were carried to the rear of
tho store by n clerk, counted and each
man got n cent apiece for his eggs. AS
he of the small eggs passed a bystander
in going out he winked knowingly and
said: "That man with the big eggs is a
fool; his hens eat n heap more than
mine, make no more eggs-though they
are bigger-but he gets no more for
em."-New York Mail and Express.

For play or school the palmer the dress
for children the better it is for both
parents and children, for it is torture for
children to wear a gown that is on their
tender little consciences. The active
and healthy the child the harder it is for
it to be restrained by the aver present re-
membrance of that pretty dress that cost
SO much money and labor, and that must
not be soiled or torn. Dark blue flannel
or calico, cashmere in dark c%olors, and
linen and the indestructible nankeen,
are all good, sensible materials for ordi.
nary dresses for little girls, and in them
they can move unrestrainedly and have

Oil cake is the most desirable food
for young stock of all kinds-nothing
better for calves, colts, sheep and pigs.
We have often found it TO take the
place of grass in winter, in pushing
the growth of colts, calves and lambs.
II is just laxative enough TO keep the
digestion in the best condition.
Thought is necessary in breeding,
and every improvement that n man
makes in his stock is.evidence Of tho
improvement of his own mind. Breed
ing is an ~elevating and developing
business. 1t broadens men, and it is
only a broad man and a man of intel
lect that n keep up a herd. Try
breeding improved stock as n means
of keeping the boys on the farm.
There is ono thing the people lose
sight of when they undertake to feed
cattle, says an exchange, that they
can do without corn. The highest
price paid in the world for cattle sold
on the hoof is in a country where
they don't raise an ear of corn, and
don't feed it. That is in the northeast
of Scotland, in the county of Aber-
deem. They send their animals to
market in better condition and get one
cent, OF three-quarters of a cent a
pound, at least, more for them than
for any other cattle in the market, and
they cannot raise corn Lewiston

Daguerreotypes were costly things at
first. In England, where the process
had been patented by an e%nterprising
charge wns 81 guineas (S12.G COZ for a da-
~gurreotype only 3tx4tin., and 4 guineas
$50. 16) for one twice that big. In this
country the prices for the two sizes were
at first IS and $40, but eventually, when
other processes invaded the field, dague'
reotypes came down to % and so cent
at which there surely could have bee
no profit in them. The daguerreotyp,
had to DO very carefully protected from
the atmosphere, and even then was pop
ularly believed to fade out ere long. 1t
is however affirmed by Mr.. A. Bogardas
and surely nobody has n better right
to speak ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS u prop
erly made daguerreotype would not
fade out. 1t would become covered by a
film of tarnish that would render the
picture quite invisible, but that could
be by chemical means SC cleaned off that
the picture would stand out as clearly
as when first made. This he had eff
fected in pictures that had vanished
from sight fifteen years before they were
put in his hands for treatment.
Imperfect and limited in its uses as
the daguerreotype was, it was the parent
of the almost divine art of photography
and the countless variations upon and
applications of it known today, and
high among the deathless names upon
flames roll of the immortals, deserves
to stand that of Louis Jacques Maude
Daguerre.-J. II. Connolly.

THOMAS JeFFeRsos,s LAST HOURS.
The Author of the Declaration of Indie
pendence Dies the Fourth

The Author of the Declaration of hide
pendenoe Dies the Fourth
On the southwestern slope of Mon
ticello-in the midst of a forest hal
lowed by associations which have
protected it from the AK, and where
the winds murmur of the past-stands
a plain granite monument, simple,
chaste, appropriate, yet impressive.
The inscription is brief, but it relates a
chapter, the brightest and proudest in
the life of him whose memory is conse-
Grated by it: Here lies buried Thomas
Jefferson, author of the Declaration Of
Independence"
The weakness Of old age came over
Thomas ~Jefferson's sound and vigor-
GUS body gradually. BE dreaded the
weakening of the mental powers, and
found more symptoms OF this than
really existed, for his mind remained
clear TO the last He was much dis
turbed about the disposition of his
papers and the estimation in which
posterity would hold him, and wrote
to James Madison shortly before he
died: ITO myself you have been a
pillar ofsupport through life. Take care
of me when dead" This was because
he feared the posthumous historical
AAttTdluTS vi Inc 1tltTtllSS, u lear
that has since been justified. He was
theatrical to the last, and when he re-
tired from public life it was in such "A
way that he posed -conspicuously as
the Sage of Monticello the good,
the wise old man, the benefactor OF
humanity, the statesman-p philosopher.
His fame was 10 great throughout all
nations that more levees were held al
Monticello than at the presidents man
sion. Crowds invaded the grounds
and house to gaze at him as he passed
from one % to another, and Jeffer-
son would not have the large hospital
ity of the plantation curtailed, though
the guests and slaves literally ate up
the estate and left the master penni-
less. Yet his last years were melan-
choly. His as fortune was gone and
his power diminished, he saw himself
an historical figure OF a brilliant past,
even while alive.
In the winter of 1926 he began to
break visibly, and in March he made
his will. Then he took to reading the
Bible and the Greek tragedies and
brooding modify because his work
was finished. He longed to die for
months before his dissolution, but as
summer approached expressed a desire
to live until July 4, to witness n half
century of independence. His wish
was granted For weeks he fingered,
life ebbing slowly, and died at /
o'clock that day, a few hours before
John Adams. He was surrounded by
a host of relatives and servants, but
lay unconscious of them for hours,
and died without speaking a word OF
farewell.-Chiacgo Tribune.

n famous French painter, Nestor
Roqueplan, who WA Vcll known as n
wit, was once invited to dinner by n
newly rich family, who were quito
willing-for once-to have the witty
painter at their sumptuous table, for
the purpose of showing Off" When
the evening was over, and the guests
departing, the host shook the
painter by the hand, and said, in effus-
i've French fashion: m. Roqueplan,
we are much delighted. We should
be glad to have you always come and
dine with us" "Always~ asked the
painter. Yes, yes, alwaysI' Rogue
plan smiled a little sarcastically, and
went away. The next evening, prompt
ly at @, the painter put in his appear
ance at the rich mans house. The
family seemed a little surprised, but
he was welcomed, and the dinner
passed very pleasantly. Next evening
he came again and was rather coolly
received. "Whatr he exclaimed;
weren't you expecting mel" ooh
oh, yes, certainly p said the host, with
a forced smile. This was kept up for
a week, when the family gave orders
that if Roqueplan came again he was
TO be told that they had gone out of
town to dine. The servant gave him
the message when he rang the bell at
6. "Ahr' said he; well, 1 will just
run up and get my umbrella that left
last night" He presented himself at
the table just as the family were seat
ing themselves for the meal. This
time, however, he took pity on them,
and, after reading them a lecture on
the unwisdom of saying n great deal
more than they meant, he took his de-
parture.-San Francisco Argonaut

another word for dressmaker."
