Relics of the Buffalo.

After travellers on the Canadian Pa
cifc are fairly launched upon the great
plains west of Manitoba they see many
reminders of the buffalo. Stretching
over the plains as far as tho eye can reach,
crossing one another in q perfect net
work, are The innumerable paths in which
the buffaloes trod one behind another in
almost countless numbers. The little
knolls, too, are thickly dotted with buffa-
10 wallows, where the animals had dug
up the earth with their horns and rolled
in the dust, or, what suited them better,
visited tho wallow after a shower, and
enjoyed the luxury of a mud bath. Here
and there, too, one sees the skeletons of
the noble animal. Butn many Of them
are seen from tho railroad cars, for near
ly all the skeletons within seven miles Of
the track have been gathered together
and brought to the railroad, where they
are piled up, ready for shipment. At
many of the places far from the stations,
these great piles of buffalo bones are
heaped. They are laid up as regular as
so much cord wood. The piles are about
eight feet high, twelve feet wide and any
where from fifteen to fifty feet long. The
outer layer is mado by piling up the
skulls, with the frontal portion outside,
and within this wall the bones arc heap.
ed promiscuously.
It will give an idea of the enormous
quantity OF these skeletons when the fact
is mentioned that within radius Of two
miles Of station on the railroad to Prince
Albert $500 skeletons were picked up.
Out Of sight of the railroad track these
skeletons may still be found in countless
numbers, and the industry Of fgathcring
them will be continued until they have
all been removed from the prairies.
These animals were the victims very
largely of the Indians, who killed the
stupid beasts frequently, only to get their
tongues, which were esteemed by the In
dams as particularly delicate morsel.
Tho bones are taken to Chicago and othor

up and play some part in the work of re-
fining. A tavorite diversion of many of
the tourists when the train stops is to Wis
it ono of the bono heaps, knock out a few
buffalo teeth and carry them away as rel
les.
The wood buffalo, closely allied to the
bison, now oxterminatcd, still roams i'll
tho forests far north Of the Saskatchewan.
His numbers, however, arc constantly
decreasing, and thcro is every prospect
that he will mcot tho fate of his prairie
relative. In the course of time, as ranches
arc extended and grasses are sown, the
buffalo paths and wallows will be oblite
rated, and no relics Of the cison will then
be found OIL the great prairies which wcrc
once all his own.

The October examination of teachers
was not 30 severe as it was hard to grade
the answers There were q applicants.
In looking over the papers, we are led to
believe come of the applicants lack in
attention to the questions asked. Ere
queDtly the first part is answered and
the balance left unnoticed. This occurs
20 often that we sre of the opinion that
it is due to want of attention to the
questions. We endeavored to impress
on those present the Importance of first
compreherdiDg fully the question, and
then answering it. Eight got 1st grade,
eight second, FIVE third and six failed.

1t is getting to be the rule now in edu.
catiopal papers to refer to teachers as in
the feminine gender. Even in the re-

was almost universally parsed as a CON-

hardly fair to the men who are teachers.

A petition was presented to the County
Board of Examiners at their meeting in
October, asking that a new District be
formed, Including the town of William

TO Whealharrow Taat.

Three or four of US on the car were talking

one of the group modestly admitted that he was

evidently going somewhere on q visit. The war
talk soon stirred her up, and she turned to the
veteran and Gueried:

"YeS'm."

And he hadn't another word to utter.
