IT is supposed that all rags brought

A Oueer Sized,

Mr.. bennett OF Cape Elizabeth.
Maine. who supplies cottages with
milk. eggs and garden truck. has a rig
that attracts good deal of attention.
1t consists OF a two-year- old bull with
a ring in his nose. bearing n crooked
yoke on his neck. harnessed to fiat
bottomed cart which will float in the
water The animal Is driven by Mr..
bennett like a horse. Reins OF rope
are attached to the ring in the bulls
nose; they pass up over the horns
through rings attached to them. With
this queer team Mr. bennett makes
the trip to the beach two or three
times week in summer fording the
Sperwink river at high tide The
bull swims the river like a dog and
the cart will float like boat and will
sustain the weight OF Mr. bennett
and his load OF produce safely. When
Mr.. bennett and his unique team are
seen approaching. the cottagers
tbrong the banks of the river to see
him make the passage.

THE future OF the Indian is prob
lem OF some difficulty. 1t is not to be
expected that any people can leap in
q generation or two from barbarism
to civilization, yet their future de-
ponds largely on their power to adapt
themselves to the demands OF civil
lied life. Probably people who
have shown the vitality of the Iro-
quois the capacity to survive where
tho weaker tribes of East and West
have faded away will be able to take
care OF themselves in future. The
descendants of Cooper's Indians will
doubtless be part of the population
for many decades

Here is pretty Austrian bill for 100

that 1t is wholly made up OF the words

From the superficial appearance of
the Bank OF England notes you would
suppose that they could be readily

inasmuch as their designs consist OF

Ir is one OF the anomalies OF human
nature that the noted brigands of the
world who have lived and died by
violence should have large following
of devoted admirers among the youth

able that their deeds should inspire
admiration rather than horror The
fact is accounted for on the ground
that their daring bravery of charac-

The boy who is not willing to learn
II the chance be given him. has some
thing wrong about him. Yet while
all the urchins who have access to the
water acquire the ability sooner or
later some attain far greater pro-
fciency than others. This is due
partly to natural differences and part
ly to the fact that some pay greater
attention TO swimming as an art than
they do 10 fun pure and simple. In
addition to the mere ability to propel
himself on the surface OF the water
the boy should learn how to swim
under water with his eyes open on
his back. on his side and with one

other. He should also become
familiar with the various phases oil

how to attempt rescue with the
