in going with me to the Holburn Via
duct Station and take the train for
Windsor Castle The ride through the
country is beautiful. Poppies blossom
along the way and the fragrance of the
new mown hay is fine indeed. Trees,
fields and streams make the country
look like one large park. The country
roads are as smooth and white as any
park path | know of. We pass through
Canterbury, Eaton and many other
historical places, indeed it seems that
every step we take Is famous in either
history, song or story. We reach the
famous old castle, the home of the
Queen, where she came that morning.
Some of our party saw her in her car
rage but | missed that honor. We
walked over the grounds she rides
over, climbed the round tower with a
guide who pointed out objects of his
torical interest, viewed the surrounding
country of which the word beautiful
can only half express the sights here to
be seen. From the tower Stoke
Poyes" could be seen, (many drove
over there in the afternoon), and the
parks in which the Royalty reviewed
their troops in the afternoon. Descend
ing We were admitted into the Royal
news where the Royal carriages, sad
dies, harnesses and horses were shown
Us.
We now return to London where We
are compelled to spend quiet Sunday
for no places of public interest are open.
SUNDAYS in London are beautifully
quiet.
On Monday morning we take the
train and start for France The journey
across England is bcauti III. We all
love England and English people very
dearly. Some are afraid they may like
to stay here, but home is dear to most
of US and we shall soon return. The
homes of the country people are very
neat and comfortable. We see a few
women in the fields helping weed the
garden or rake the fragrant new mown
hay. At Dover we take the boat to
cross the channel. Here we all expect
ed to be i'll but no one was. The water
was as placid as Lake Superior.

Got the CasISef,

A company sent ahead their property
list always in order that the property
man of the thcatc. would have ample
time to procure all properties for the
performance. Their play required as
4 property a small jewel casket The
list was sent to the snail town ahead.
When the curtain was ready to be rung
up the stage manager of the company
asked the boy who acted as scene
shifter, janitor. stage carpenter aud
property man of that town hall if he
had got all the properties on the list
The lad told him he had all except the
caSket, and that he would get it at
once. The audience was assembled, the
curtain up. the leading lady was seated
on the stage dreamily delivering
tremolo soliloquy, when the boy walks
down the center aisle there was but
one entrance to the halD with q small
coffin on his head, ana reaches it over
on to the stage. with the apology:
Here's yer caSkot. Couldn't borrow
none wild jewels on it."

A system of automatic fishing has re-

weighted with lead. rs usual. and for
the head rope there is substituted
fiattened rubber tube cemented by a
flexible rubber tube with a reservoir
Of compressed air or with 4 single or
double-acting pump. This compressed
air reservoir is placed. according to
circumstances, either in a boat or on
shore, or else is enclosed i'll special

which, by reason Of this very fact, will
not attract the attention Of the fish.
The fish are afterWard lured 10 the
spot crcumScribed by the net by
means of bait of different kinds and
by light.
When the moment is deemed propi-
tiOuS for Il good catch. the pump is set
in motion and the cock placed upon
the compressed air pipe is opened. so
as to allow the air to enter the rubber
tube that cncircleS the top of the net
AS the tube becomes inflated it de-
ScribeS a wide circle. and. rising to-
ward the surface. carries the net along
with it without any noise and without
agitating the water The attention of
the fish is therefore not awakened and
they are captured without knowing it,
and before they have even attempted
to make their escape.
After the catch has been taken from
the net the compressed air that fills
the tube is allowed to escape and the
net again sinks and is ready for 4 sec

tain 4 reservoir Of compressed air,

The First Baptist church in Hing
ham. Mass, had many struggles to es-
tablish itself. In the first part Of our
century the pulpit was supplied by
many different ministers, and the cf-
forts of the pariShioncrs to obtain their
services were constant and unwearied.
One Saturday night. when it was as
certained that the preacher expected
from Boston the next day could not
come. Aunt Polly Barnes. as she was
called. mounted her horse and set out
for Scituate to engage Mr.. COnant for
the next days services. AS she pro-
ceeded on her way over the lonely road
a man sprang from the woods. seized
her horses bride and demanded her
money.
You must wait until I can get it,"
she said. for | have but one hand"
She had lost her left hand by ampu.

The hignwayman released the bride,
thinking his booty quite secure. and
Aunt Polly struck her horse Il sharp
blow. He sprang away. and she reach
ed Mr.. Commits house in safety. en-
gagged him to preach, and rode quietly
home TO bingham. distance of six

British Troops in the United States.

British troops have been rushing
through Maine for several months, the
activity being especially noticeable at
present. but no one in Maine has got
excited over the matter. Indeed, very
few knew anything about it until in
formed by dispatch. Saturday, from
St John These movements, it is said,
are in the line of experiments, the
British government desiring TO find out
just how long it would take to get its
men and supplies across the continent
In event of trouble with Russia. 4 few
weeks ago a special train carrying
armament and supplies was dispatched
from Halifax to ESquimault, i. c.. with
instructions to stop for nothing but
water and TO changc engines. There
We're nine loaded cars on the train and
the trip was made. according 10 the re

lam sorry TO say that We were merci-
less toward the birds. We often took
their eggs and young ones. \ compan-
ion AMI l once had Il singular expert
ence in this way. We were accustomed
to catch III our hands young geese and
ducks during the summer. While thus
engaged we happened to find cranes
nest. OF course. we were Delighted
with our good luck.
But. as it was already midsummer,
the young cranes. two in number. were
rather large. and they We're little way
from the nest: We also observed that
the two old cranes We're in a Swampy
place quite near by; but as it was
moulting time, we did not suppose that
they would venture on dry land. So
we proceeded To chase the young birds:
but they were fleet runners. and it
took US some time to catch up with
them.
Meanwhile. the parent birds had
heard the cries of their little ones, and
came 10 their rescue, writes Charles
Alexander Eastman in ST. Nicholas.
They We're chasing us while we fol
lowed the young ones. 1t WAS peril
Gus encounter Our strong blows gained
the victory in a hand-to-hand battle
with the angry cranes. but after that
we scarcely ever hunted n cranes nest.
Almost all birds make SOME resistance
when their eggs or young are taken,
but very few will attack Il man fear
lcSSly.
Our devices for trapping small ami
mails were rude, but were often sue
ccssful For instance, we used to gather
up n peek or so of large. sharp pointed
burS and scatter them on the rabbits
furrow-likc path. OF course in the
morning we would find the little fellow
sitting quietly on his track. unable to
move for the burs stuck 10 his feet.

Bonaparte. The answer came, not
from camps or cabinets, but from the

educator of his time, Prof. Fichte. I'D

Teach them not only the glorious ira
