Hanlon-stevenson Boat Race.

VICTORIA, 8. c., Nov. 1.-The Hanlon VS..
Stevenson boat race was rowed at Shawnee
gan yesterday. Both men rowed well, but
Stevenson lost his course, being unused to
the turn, and he consequently rowed
wildly, and ON the home stretch it was
much like a procession. Hanlon won in
1920, about eight lengths ahead. This re-
duced the worlds record by three seconds.

He Could Spare No Time for Rest o
Opcn-Air Exercise.

Opcn-Air Exerciae.
The greatest difficulty was TO get the
patient to take exercise. "My grand
father" he said to me, "lived to ninety
years he took much open-air exercise.
My father lived to eighty, yet he never
took any," Lord Beaconstieid tried to
steer middle course, but the utmost he
could be persuaded to take was a short
walk two or three times n week IL Lord
Rowton or some other pleasant friend
called 10 accompany him; otherwise he
easily found an excuse for not going
out. His slow pace in walking prevented
him from getting much benefit from It,
Riding no had given up, although in
his early days passionately devoted to
it. For many years his life had been
sedentary one: presuming on his hardy
constitution and tho fact OF his fathers
great age without opcn-air exercise,
he considered ii q matter optional in his
case. He had tho excuse OF urgent oc-
cupation In his political and literary
life to hinder it, Yet nature has Mem
esis" power OF rovenging herself on the
man of sedentary life. In the end the
liver suffers. In ono of his letters to
his sister he says: Il have recovered
from the horrors OF u torpid liver, which
has overwhelmed me tho last few days"
In the spring OF 1881 he felt the cold
most keenly and seldom went out for
walk, his only exercise. Yet he could
not deny himself the pleasure of going
into society in the evening. He thought
that with fur coats and shut carriage he
might risk it. But ON one Of the worst
nights in March he went out to dinner,
and returning home was caught for
minute by the deadly blast Of the north
cast wind laden with sloet. Bronchitis
developed the next morning with dis
tressing asthma, loss of appetite. fever
and congestion Of the kidneys.
During his last illness there was no
pain nor acute suffering, but at times
much distress and WEAKNESS, all of
which ho bore with the most exemplary
patience and endurance. To all those
around him he showed the greatest
kindness and consideration. At mid
night there was visible change for tho
worse, and the heaviness gradually
passed into the calm sleep OF DEATH.

Enough of ft Growing In This Country
for al, rrt..i nrposes.
There is mistletee growing In our
own country quito good enough to an
swor All tho festai purposes Of tho
mi'tlctoe descended from that which
the old Druids in their Nhito robes cut
with IA golden sickle JUST after the now
OF the moon, and distributed for charms
against AL evil 10 their believing tribes
1t is not, indeed, tho true and ancient
mistlotoe; but 1t ;.kCs u lctanist and q
good ono to tell you why not; and 1t Is
quite as interesting N Its appearance,
with the long, olivc.like leaves and tho
singular translugEs berry with a CLEAN
Of rroea in its whicnoss, something be-
tween amoonstone aud pale cats-eye
quartz in iiI.. 1t grows any where in
tho Virginia latitpans, abounds upon
the mesquite in Texas, and il usually
10 be found in the Washington flower
market through the Christmas holidays.
Tho plant is certainly beautiful and
curious; bnt except for it's parasitical
origin and growth, which gave 1t a sort
of n mystery 10 Che unlearned and prim-
tive mind, IL IL difficult to see why it
ever attained such emincncc as 1t had,
although tits true that tho Druids gave
1t yeneration only when found growing
on the oak, which was sacred to the sun
tho Druidical worship and that Of tho
old Persians having much in common;
but it held with them. for whatever
reason, an important part in the great
rites of the winter solstice, correspond
ing to our Christmas festivities. One OF
the old northern myths makes the dart
which killed the beautiful Iialder out OF
tho mistlctoe, which alone of all nature
had not been bound to do him no harm,
possibly as showing that there Is moth
ing in the universe without Significance,
and with Him there is no great nor
small" Nowadays the strange plant Is
found less often on the oak than on tho
apple tree, where 1t kills out whole
orchards, being all but indesiruotible it-
self, and living just as long as there Is
any sap in the tree IL has chosen; in
some regions 1t has, indeed, become
more profitable to raise and sell than
the apples would be. In England, and
in tho wild state, 1t Is most often sown
by the missol thrush; but it Is raised
artiilcially by crushing the berries on a
bough, to which their glutinous matter
adheres and where they generates; others
make n slit with penknife on the
undersi,.a OF d branch, so that 1t may
not be observed by the birds, and there
insert The seed, and something Of a
weird and mysterious character is seen
in a species Of intelligence manifested
by 1t, since, In whatever direction the
seed is pointed, the radical will turn
toward the surface, and fasten itself In
such manner AZ TO draw the most nutri-
ment it can, and it has even been sue
eessfully graftod upon another miseltoe.
That it should still have a part In our
Christmas keeping is owing to the fact
that we alwayB have q tenderness to-
ward the customs OF our ancestors

A quiet, well-dressed man on the seat

and touched the Montana man on tho
shoulder and asked!
''You from Montana, sir?"
