An Extinct Race.

The Boethick Indians of New
foundland, at one time the aboriginal
inhabitants of the island, can now
only be counted by one or two skele-
tons and few skulls, SO completely
have they been swept away. The
French employed the Mic Mac In
dians of Nova Scotia to fight against
and eXterminate them. According
to an account in the late issue of the
Transactions Of the Canadian Insti-
tute they were peaceable and quiet
race, given 80 hunting and fishing.
They used canoes made of birch
rind and Of skins of deer, like the
EsquimauX cayak. They had no pot
terry and used utensils of birch rind
sewed together, but they employed
sOapstone dishes as lamps, their form
being similar to those among the
Esquimaux at the present day. They
carved deer and walrus horns and the
bones Of the seal into ornaments,
which they wore on their dresses and
ornamented their heads with combs.
The carvings are in triangular pat
terms, and out of the large collections
in the museum at St. Johns there
are no two ornaments having the
same pattern. Their stone imple-
ments were more rudely constructed
than those of the western Indians.

"A Pretender.

During a sham fight Napoleon came
unaWares upon a soldier who was
lying fast asleep in field among the
corn.
Us this your post?" exclaimed the
Emperor, rousing him with the full
intention of making an example of
him.
The soldier, thus suddenly startled
out of his slumber, rubbed his eyes,
and, on recognizing the Emperor,
sprang to his feet, presented arms,
and said:
Il beg your majesty's pardon. but
we were going through sham fight,
and in order to make the illusion
more complete | was pretending to be
dead"
Napoleon could not suppress a
smile, and forgave the witty lineman.

history, of course. Posy originally
meant verses presented with nose
gay, then came to be applied to the
flowers themselves, and finally be-
came the brief poetical sentiment,
motto, or legend inscribed upon a
ring for the finger. The words marked
upon these love-tokens were general
ly of stereotyped kind, such as
"You never knew A heart more true.
One which was presented by the
bridegroom bore the suggestive
couplet, Love him who gives this
ring of gold, TITS he must kiss thee

a L awe rs ScruDleS,

The late Robert Toombs, Of Geor-
Cir, had large practice at the bar,
but he always showed that he was
more concerned for the honor of his
profession than for it's rewards.
On one occasion he said to client
who had stated his case to him:
eyes, you can recover in this suit,
but you ought not to do so. This is
case in ~hich law and Justice are
on opposive sides"
The client told him he would push
the case anyhow.
Then" replied Mr.. Toombs, "you
must hire some one else to assist you
in your rascality."
At another time a lawyer went to
him and asked what he should charge
client in case to which Mr..
Toombs had just listened in the
court house.
"Well," said Toombs, Il should
charge a thousand dollars, but you
ought to have five thousand, for you
did a great many things that l would
not have done"

When New Zealand Sinks.

1t was formerly, say fifty years ago,
nothing uncommon for a new island
to appear above or an old one to dis
appear beneath the waves of the
Pacific Ocean. Such occurrences
were sometimes noted as often as two
or three times a year, and were so
common as to hardly excite comment
among nayigators and scientists OF
late, however, the Pacific has been
pacific" indeed. It will be thirty
six years this coming summer since
the last island disappeared, and
exactly a quarter Of a century since
the last new one popped up it's head
in the greatest of oceans" But ge-
ologists argue that this is a suspicious
silence, an omen of some monstrous
catastrophe; that Dame Nature is
simply resting for mighty effort.
Sir Sidney Bell even goes so far as to
predict that the whole of New Zea-
land and the greater part of Australia
will be engulfed before the end of the
year 1925.

RuSkin'S TOYS.

The mother of John Ruskin was in
every sense a remarkable woman.
Her son, in summing up her charac-
ter, speaks of her as "having great
power with not little PRIDE" and
adds that she was "entirely conscien-
tious, and a consummate housekeeper. "
The home rule of Ruskin's mother
was well-nigh Puritanic in severity;
his toys were few, and his sources of
amusement limited. He says:
For toys, had bunch Of keys to
play with as long as [ was capable Of
pleasure in what glittered and jingled;
as | grew older I had cart and q
ball, and when I was 6 years old, two
boxes of Well-cut wooden bricks.
With these modest, but [ still
think entirely sufficient possessions,
and being always summary whipped

tumbled on the stairs, / soon attained
serene and secure methods Of life and
motion, and could pass my days con-
tentedly in tracing the squares and
comparing the cOlOrs of my carpet,
examining the knots in the wood Of
the floor, or counting the bricks in
the opposite houses.
There were also intervals of rap
turous excitement during the filling
of the water-cart through it's leathern
pipe from the dripping iron post at
the pavement edge, or the still more
admirable proceedings of the turn
cock, when he turned and turned I'M
til fountain sprang up in the mid
die of the street.
But the carpet, and what patterns
[ could find in bed-covers, dresses, or
Wallpapers were my chief resources.

Standard Value of Horses.

Horses are not valued at higher
rates now than in the earlier ages of
the world, if we estimate prices paid
for them according to the price of
food, which seems to be fair stan
dard of comparison. In King Solo
mons time an Egyptian horse-the
best horses were procured from Egypt
cost $50 shekels, about sS5. Six
hundred years after Solomon, in the
time of Xenophon, Seuthis, the Thra-
clan, paid so drachma, or about s135,
for the steed on which he rode during
the retreat Of the Ten Thousand.

ally discovered that the walls were

No Good There.

An Ohio man brought to a country
fair in Florida some fine specimens
of Chester White and Poland China
pigs, feeling perfectly certain, in
view of the miserable stock raised by
the natives, that he would take first
prize and make a paying market for
his breeders. But he was disappoint-
ed. In the award of prizes his ex-
hibit was entirely ignored, because,
as he learned on inquiry of the COM
mittee, the farmers were obliged to
have hogs adapted to their surround
ings-in other words, "they wouldn't
give a d for hog that couldn't
Outrun niger"

To which," he says, they would have
to answer, No. and I would say, That
is why do not write something better,
as you call it, 3" And he adds, that he
should be wasting his time in supplying
the wants of few people when he had
the multitude to feed" It is just as
true in the school-room, that the teacher
who would succeed must adapt herself
to the intellectual capacity of her chill
dren. It is the height of folly to shoot
above their heads or to criticise and
scold them because they are not mem
tally acute or perfect in their manners.
The teacher who gains the love Of her
pupils, and SO succeeds, is one who
always feeds the many and not the few.

Why They Fail.

Strange as it may seem, there can be
too much intellectually in the school
room. Many teacher of fine mental
endowments has failed in her chosen
labor, because unable to get down to
the crude untutored minds of her little
ones. Children do not take kindly to
the abstract. and any knowledge or OPP
Grafton above their comprehension is an
abstraction to them. DR.. Root, in his
Story of Musical Life" tells of a
criticism some of his friends made con-
corning his compositions. They were
too simple: his talents were capable of
higher flights. So he says, AT last I
thought would publish a song or two
above the grade of the Peoples Song"
This he did; and when the "old question"
was put to him, why don't you do
something better?" he answered, Have
you ever seen or heard Gently, All.

The Dominic Was Caustic.

A minister annoyed by tobacco
chewing thus spoke to his congrega-
ton: "Take your quid of tobacco out
of your mouth on entering the house
of God, and gently lay it on the outer
edge of the sidewalk or on the fence.
It will positively be there when you
go out, for a rat=won't take it, a cat
won't take it, dog won't take it,
neither will hog: you are certain of
your quid when you go after it. Not
the f1lthiest yermin on earth would
touch it.

A Warning to Amateur Humorists.


The task of man who is compelled
to get up a certain amount of printed
humor daily is more laborious than
that of a hod-carrier. It is some
thing like it, too. He just carries
stuff to the level of the average COM
prehension, and, having deposited it
before the person to get the benefit of
it, goes after more.
How does the humorist work?
Well, it depends largely upon his
temperament and greater or less fit
ness for his speciality. Some men,
although they have fair ability in
some lines Of writing, are slow to
originate humorous idea, notwith-
standing that they can appreciate it
in others. To such the writing of a
humorous paragraph or article is
something to be dreaded.
1t would be a violation Of newspa-
per ethics for professional writer to
decline to get up an article on any
subject or from any standpoint.
Given theme, and told to treat it
humorously, the most sedate member
of a newspaper staff will attack it
without hesitation, and in his own
time will do the work well-perhaps
as we'll as the man whose speciality is
humor.
But, alb. the labor of the sedate
man! How each queer smile, every
epigrammatic sentence, and every odd
expression will wiring his soul and
make his brain thrOb!
Fun. Tell him that he ought to
enjoy his own fun, and he will prob
ably brain you with the office poker.
Ask the regular paragrapher whether
he enjoys his work, and he will think
you an idiot. He does it because it
is his work, but the terrible wrestle
he has with the English language
every day to evolve those atrocious
witticisms of his no one knows but
himself

The First Lace.

lace is about the sixth century, when
high born Italian nuns wrought it for
the adornment Of the sanctuary.

their minds to it. St. Dunstan him.
