PpriIs of Realistic Advertising,

A Manchester tradesman who at
tempted Il little bit of "realistic" adver-
Using has just had a rather unpleasant
experience. He is the proprietor of a
certain cattle food, and it occurred to
him to send out two horses, II a fine,
sleek, powerful animal, the other a mis-
erably abject and depressed ~scarecrOw
of a horse. The first horse bore a pla-
card announcing that it had been fed on
Mr.. Blanks condiment; the other ac-
counted for its wretched condition by
the announcement on a placard that it
had not had the advantage Of that spe-
cial food.
Unfortunately for the advertiser, the
attention Of the police was very prop
erly drawn to the wretched animal Ill
the shafts. and they hailed the owner be-
fore the magistrates on the charge OF
working" the poor creature IN an unfit
condition. and he was fined a guinea and

The Children's Palace.

The Worlds fair will be wonderful if
only the plans that the committees have
already adopted are to be carried into
effect. Those who have these matters
III charge are said to be showing good
taste and a picturesque and poetic sense.
The cold, dreary waters of the lagOOns
Of jackson park are being transformed
into grand canals, and these waters are
to be illuminated, and ont of them the
airy art palaces will lift their wings as
from Il new Venice, and over this bright
Adriatic 100 gOndolas are to pass.
The Aztec palace, the Temple of the
Sun and the historic buildings that rep
resent poetic periods Of Latin America
have the same charm Of Oriental fancy,
of Aladdin and fairyland. The visitor
will find here i'll stone and marble the
historic poetry of the Western world.
1t is proposed to add to the Lakeside
city Il Children's palace, which shall ex-
hibit the Juvenile plays and Fairgrounds
of all nations.
The plan is to be commended not only
because no such proposed exhibition of
the arts of childhood has ever yet been
made, but because it suggests many
practical and educational methods which
merit attention.
Probably the usefulness and interest
ture fer children Of all nations, books,
periodicals and art work will not be

The GuilIotine and Its Inventor.

One of the most widely disseminated
of popular errors is that DR.. Guillotin
invented the grim machine which still
bears his name. The real inventor of
this sinister c~ontrivance was DR.. Louis,
a well known medical man and perma-
nent secretary of the Partisan School Of
Medicine, or Academic de Medicine.
DR.. Guillotin, who died in 1914, ener-
getically but vainly protested against
the use of his name in connection with
this disagreeable subject-an evidence,

Guilty there is of correcting a popular
error. Needless to say that the legend
that DIR. Guillotin was among the vic

~apocryphal. He died at a good old age,
and in his bed, surrounded by his chill

to change their name.-LondOn Satur-

The Roof In the CITY.

On one OF the few warm evenings Of
the season a visitor at aAfriend's house
was asked by the servant to Walk up
stairs, please" Somewhat surprised, the
request was acceeded to. and at the upper
landing the hostess appeared. Il thought
you would enjoy u roof garden this
warm evening"" she said, leading the
way through the back room and assisting
the caller yer an improvised stile, made
from two library step ladders, III on to
the roof Of the parlor extension.
Here the host was lounging in a ham
mock, smoking, and a cane settee with
cushions and several comfortable wicker
chairs awaited occupants.
I'VE always want 70 sit out" said the
hostess later, in explanation. land the
narrow, uncomfortable doorstep bf our
city houses offers no comfort or ~seclusion.
Here, at least, IL passersby see US, and
we greatly enjoy the added s~paciousness
and ease Of this place"
A railing had been put about the ex-
tension and painted a dull red to match
the roof; inside this ran a narrow box
trench filled with earth and supplied with
flowers and vines well started. Several
inexpensive but useful rugs were scat
tered about, and, with the chairs and
hammock, the place was very attractive.
Not every householder, indeed, owns
an extension, which are much less COM
mon III New York than in other cities,
but there is always the roof. In time,
undoubtedly, this valuable ]unoccupied
space will be utilized III this way, with
perhaps "a %solarium, or sun garden, in
addition for winter use.-Her Point Of
View in New York Times.

The Difficulty with Chinese.

The difficulty of a foreigner learning
the Chinese language may be inferred
from the statement of an English trav-
eler. He and his companion, previous
to starting for China, had supplied them
selves with a Chinese grammar. In a
day or two the discovery was made that
the single letter i had 145 ways of being
pronounced, and that each pronuncia-
ton had an entirely different meaning.
Then it dawned upon them that there
was no poetry about the Chinese lam
guage, that it was not worth learning
and their grammar was secretly con-
signed to the river mud by being drop
bed OverbOard.-Yankee Blade.

A Wonderful Rather.

Il cnce knew an old unreconstruCted
Confederate in Arkansas who had a
colony of rattlesnakes that were trained
to play Dixie with their rattles 10 his
intense e~difcation," said Colonel J. 5.
Evans, Of Meridian, Miss.
The man belonged to my regiment
during the war, and he had a rattle
snake that followed him all through the
Louisiana campaign like a faithful dog.
He didn't join the army until near the
close Of the trouble, and he brought his
snake with him. When the reptile got
tired on the march her master would
coil her around his neck and trudge
along with his pet until camp was
struck. At night he put the snake in a
circle formed with a hair rope, so as to
keep her from crawling around to the
dread of other soldiers. During battle
that snake would dart in and out be-
tween the ranks of the fighting men I'M
til she found her master, when she
would stick her tail straight into the air
and rattle off the first few bars Of Dixie
with pronounced distinctness and the
most e~cstatic delight. Her master had
of course taught her to do it.
after the war he took his snake back
to the Arkansas farm, and in a little
while her progeny was wonderful. When
| went to see him fifteen years ago his
~barnyard was given over to rattlesnakes,
and on a signal from him, by ringing a
bell, the reptiles would dash to the CEN
ter of the yard, and the clang of Dixie
that the swift movements Of their tails
produced was as deafening as it was in
spiring."-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

HALlFAX, n. s.. Dec. 16.-The exodus

lettering their condition.
1t is difficult to got accurate statistics,
but II 10 certain there has bssn material
decline in the population since the last CEN
sus was taken, and facts are constantly
cropping out which indicate the alarming
extent OF the exodus.
Here is one: AT way station on the
Windsor and Annapolis railway in Kings
county, 70 tickets were sold n eight weeks
to parties moving TO tho United States.
Scarcely any Of them came from outside
that district, and all OF thsm have gone to
the United States with the intention OF re-
siding there permanently. Ii the exodus at
other stations along the line in this county
was as great as at the station referred to
and there are strong reasons to believe that
it was--over 1000 persons have left X ngs
county this fall for tho United States.
