Lord and Lady Mount Stephen, who
have spent very many years in Canada,
have introduced canoeing in Scotland.
They have taken the beautiful estate of
Faskally, Perthshire, belonging to Mrs.
Butler, which comprises stretch of the
picturesque river, TUNNEL, which runs
through the Pass of Killiecrankie to
Athole and all that district, and, in order
to explore more fully, Lord Mount
Stephen has brought home Canadian
canoe and two real Canadian boatmen.
They have already shot some of the
dangerous rapids of the Scotch river, and
been investigating the salmon pools
among the powders in otherwise unseen
spots. Lord Mount Stephen intends to
use his canoe later on for salmon fishing
The novelty has created a great deal of
interest in the neighborhood. extending

Tommx,s Wild Run for Life.

Tommy l.. Dyer, a fourteen-year-old
boy, of Huiburt, Mich, had an exciting
adventure on Wednesday in which he
narrowly escaped being devoured by q
couple of big gray wolves.
Near the town is lake of considera-
BILE extent. G. w. Dyer, father of the
boy, is in charge of Hulburt's numbering
operations there. At the request of his
son he caused half mile track to be
cleared on the lake by snow plow so
his boy and others could enjoy skating.
Wednesday afternoon Tommy was out
alone at the end of the track farthest
from camp. AS it began to grow dark
the boy was about to start for home
when he was startled by the howl of
wolf not far off, followed instantly by
another. At the same time two large
and ferocious timber wolves made their
appearance a short distance away.
The boy, aware that his life was in
danger, at once sought safety in fight.
The ugly brutes, half famished during
the winter and intent on having a feast,
Immediately started in pursuit. Fear
lent speed to the flying feet of the fugi-
tive, and he raced along with all the
strength he could command. For
time he distanced his pursuers, but he
soon began to lose his strength, and the
hungry animals were soon close behind,
with their eyes cleaning like Goals of
fire and their red tongues hanging out
between cruel, glistening teeth.
The lad continued his exertions, how
ever, calling loudly for help. At last,
feeling the hot breath of the painting
brutes, he was about to give up in de-
spair, when George Colvin and Aleck
Stewart, two brawny woodsmen who
were working near, heard the fright
ened cries of the boy and the fierce
howls of the wolves and started to the
rescue. They arrived just in time. An
other minute would have been too late.
The men attacked the brutes with their
axes and drove them away after a strug-
gle.-Cor. Chicago Tribune.

The Age of the Playing Card.

DR.. Rudolph Lothian, of Vienna, says
this year sis the fifth century of the
playing card" He says the first game
of cards ever played was tarok or naili,
in which every card was symbolic of ga
phase of life, degree of knowledge or
one of the powers ruling human exist
ence." One of the pasteboards was
named IN Misero," doubtless our knave,
and was easily involved in all sorts of
unpleasant complications. Tarok has
been revived in Paris, where the search
for novelties is so resentlessly prosecuted
even at the expense of the old.

John Switzler, who now lives within
one mile of Pendleton, thirty-six years
ago saved the lives of thirty persons at
the Cascades, on the north side of the
Columbia river, at place at that time
called the Upper Cascades. John is now
old and well wearied with years. But
then he was a young man and after
making thirty persons safe he ran the
gantlet for mile with other parties,
some of whom were wounded, while
others were killed by the Yakima and
Klikitat Indians. Yet he arrived at the
fort safe and sound and in time to care
for the wounded in the fort, where

Now all alone come again
To wander by the river;
And am old and they are gone,
But it unchanged is gliding on

Unchanged it seems, yet who can stay
The waters ceaseless motion?

Today have reached the ocean;
Unmarked, unmissed, they swiftly fly,
Unmarked, unmissed, we, too, must die,
And leave the mighty river,
Where youth and joy and love and strife,
And all the VARIOUS modes of life,
Flow on unchanged forever.

Miss G. F. Gordon-Cumming, in her
book on Ceylon, gives few lines to a
pet elephant, who seems to have been a
creature of much amiability and intelh-
gence. He had been captured young,
and was known as Kurunegalla Jack.
He used to go the hospital rounds with
his master, a medical officer, who had
taught him to be generally useful, and
even to administer pills. A Malay soldier
one day dropped his pill, whereupon
Jack picked it up and dropped it into
the mans open mouth, with puff that
blew it safely down.
