QUEER ACCIDENTS.

WHILE a baby was being photo
graphed in Leominster, Mass, seven
minutes after its birth. it spoiled the
picture by sneezing.
A HORSE belonging to Tom Roe. of
Waco, Tex, while grazing, became
suddenly excited and madly rushed at
his owner. Tom struck him on the
neck with his fist and the animal
dropped dead.
A LONG period of illness so depressed
a horse belonging to Alderman Mack

animal put his head through some har-
ness hanging in the barn and then
dropped to the floor, thus committing
suicide by strangulation.
A sEvEN-YEAR-OLD child fell into an
old well more than thirty feet deep at
Far Rockaway, L. l., recently and es-
capped with only few bruises. The
water at the bottom reached to her
waist, in which she stood for more

Of fresh impetus to the tide of travel,
and for the last few days the crowds
that swarm the business section of the
city have been perceptibly increasing
in volume. So much SO, in fact, that 1t
is a difficult matter to pedestrianate
at anything like brisk gait without
coming into collision with people who
are very busy with the sights and con-
sequently quite oblivious of citizens on

The stores and bazars where Column
bian souvenirs and curios are on sale
are packed and jammed with eager peo-
pie from early morning till late at
light, and the fakirs on the street are
doing thriving business in badges,
buttons and all sorts of mementos of
the Columbia year. Money seems to

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

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, D.
D., appointed by the government, as
sisted by Brother Pelerinus. The ex-
hibits come from two hundred converts
and academies, and the McGin univer-
sity, Protestant, of Montreal The ex-
hibit of the latter is not as extensive
IS 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 subject being told in q
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 q 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,
under 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 a type
machine and the typescript is perfect
The history of the Institute of the Con-
of Notre Dame (burned a few
days ago) from its foundation in 1920,
by Marguerite Bourgeoys, is shown in

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 whole, is varied and many
things there are curious, and all are
to the system of education in
the old province.
