lived in the neighborhood and who had
seen the Midway dances had told the
little fellows who were getting up the

them how to reproduce the scenes and
had taught the little girls how to imi-

A Virginia farmer found it convenient
to house his sheep in the tobacco house,
and as they seemed as anxious to cal
tobacco stems as hay, he gave them
some every day as an experiment and
noted the results. Previous to that
time he had lost young sheep by lung
worms more or less every year, but
that year he lost none, though the sea-
son was such that he expected then
deadly visitation. He now feeds tobac.
co stems, when he has them, to his
sheep. He also feeds tobacco crumbs
and pulverized tobacco in bran and in
the salt to his flock, and they have
been perfectly healthy ever since. To

EpuoAriSN IN CANADA.
Quebec's Varied aud Extremely interest
ing ExhIbit--Work of the Blind,


On gallery b, In the Liberal Arts
department OF Manufactures building,
In two sections, are the educational ex-
hibits of the province OF Quebec, Can,
under the charge of Canon Bruchesi, ID,
d., appointed by the government, as
sisted by Brother Pelerinus. The ex-
hibits come from two hundred converts
and academies, and the McGill univer-
sity, Protestant, of Montreal. The ex-
hibit of the latter is not as extensive
as the merit of the university warrants,
but the space could not be obtained.
The work represented in the remaining
portions Of the two sections shows the
system of education of the converts and
academies by grades, from the first
step to the graduating course. There
are compositions in English, French,
German and Spanish by pupils of the
various schools, and some of these are
illustrated with pen drawings by the
student, the shbject being told in u
two-fold manner. Great albums con-
tain samples of needlework from the
simplest bit to the finest crochet and
lacework. The name of each worker
and her age are appended to the article.
The ages range from eight to sixteen
years and some of the work is remark
able In one exhibit work Is shown in
fax, from the preparation of it on
through its several stages, the last be-
| ing a woven article. This is done by
the students of Ursaline convent, Rob-
ertvue, Lake st. John. The work of
the blind in the asylum at Montreal,
finder the direction of the Gray Nuns, is
but another revelation of the ability of
the blind. One sample will illustrate:
A blind girl eleven years old wrote a
poem in French. The manuscript is
shown. Then she copied it from type
machine and the typescript is perfect.
The history of the Institute of the, Con-
gregation of Notre Dame (burued few
days ago. from it's foundation in 1920,
by Marguerite Bourgeoys, is shown in
a large frame, the priests, sisters SUI
perior and others appearing in pen
sketches. Oil paintings and sketches
by the deaf mutes of Montreal are in
teresting. In glass case are eighteen
thousand pressed flowers, each an,
alyzed, all from the soil of Canada. The
exhibit, as a whole, is varied and many
things there are curious, and all arc
creditable to the system of education in
the old province. .t. .tl

just now The main attractions at the
fair in the shape of special features are
the West Point cadets and the prize
cattle and horses. Widely varying in in
terest, of course, are these two features,
but attention is pretty evenly divided
between them. There is more fine
stock at the fair just at present than
was ever before gotten together, and
more countries are represented in this
department than were ever placed in
competition before in America.
Among the exhibits in the live stock
department are some which are decided
ly unusual in such exhibitions. There
are some Brahmin, or sacred cattle,
from India, which, according to the
legends of that country. were, at one
time worshiped as are the white ele-
plants of Siam. They were, it is said,
stalled in Buddhist temples and were
fed from vessels of gold and silver.
Whatever sacred character they once
possessed, the India cattle are now
bred for combined speed and draft pur-

years old and COW two years old, on ex-
hibition at the fair, are from Trinidad,
one of the windward islands of the
Caribbean sea, just off the coast of Brit
ish Guiana. The island is British
colony, and the India bull and cow
were bred from sires and cows import
cd over twelve years ago from Hindo-
stan. The breeding on the island has
been eminently successful under gov
eminent auspices, and the cattle make
fast draft animals. They are speedier
than mules, and will draw twice the
weight. 1t is no unusual thing to see
these animals hitched up to carriages
and handsome barouches in Trinidad,
and the India bull is natural and fast
trotter,
The COW at the fair is creamy
white animal, delicately limbed as a
Jersey COW, and somewhat resembles
one, only being larger. The bull is

muzzle, and is strong, vigorous-look'

OCCIDENTAL ODDITIES.
Queer Notions as to WhatsWas Wanted
f~,. ut. the Worlds Fair.


Queer ideas sometimes get afloat and
drift around among the people, for
years. For example, a belief prevails
among number of persons here in
Spokane that the government, or the
state, or the city, or some modern
Monte Cristo has standing Offer of
five hundred dollars to anyone who will
go overTthe falls in barrel. Down in
Oregon a belief long prevailed in some
minds that the government would pay
one hundred dollars. to the person who
would plant an American flag on
Mount Hood, A number made the as
cent and ran up the stars and stripes,
but cold andaunpatriotic government
invariably faile&to respond with the
gold coin SO severely earned. ~
BY some incident or accident an i'm
preston got extant in this state that
the Washington worlds fair commits
sion was seeking native born triplets
to exhibit at the Columbian exposition,
and as result the commission received
many letters of inquiry, a number of
them saying that they could not pro-
vide triplets, butif twins were wanted
the demand could be quickly met.
Still Others became deluded with the
belief that the commission was seeking
far and wide for a badger. Letters on
file with the commission indicate that
a good many people thought the Wash
ington exhibit was to partake of the
nature of dime museum. 1t is sur
prising, though, how anyone could
seriously imagine that the commission
would make use of an animal so COM
mon as the badger. The members are
'badgered" enough even as matters
stand. There are maly queer things in
the realm of nature, but there are
queerer things in the realm Of the
Imagination. = Spokane (Wash.) Re
