A sight that will linger long in the
memory was witnessed recently at the
Care st. Lazare. Huddled together
against the wall. with bundles of
clothes piled around them. and
dressed in costumes strange to the Vile
lumicre, were 200 beings. They looked
like hunted dogs and clung together.
dazed at the noise and light. In truth
they were band of Armenians flying
from their country. Without knowing
word OF English. they have decided
to 60 to America to seek fortune.

WE ALL KNOW HIM.

Listen and you will hear him say,
About dozen times a day,
When things refuse to go his way:
That's just my luckp'
He mingles with the markets throng
And plunges into stocks headlong;
Excusing all his guesses wrong
With 'Just my luckv
From large events of loss and gain
To failures just to catch the train,
The sole consoler of his pain
Is lust my luckv'
Fools now and then are right by chance;
And when luck seemshis way to glance
And all his pleasures to enhance,
Beaming with hself-complacency,
Il think I planned that WE'LL" says he.

rarely that "a matter of levity was intro

recall, in a course of some 20 lectures,
only single instance of this kind,
when, for some reason Ono longer in my
memory, O reference was made to
Chamisso's "Peter Schlemihl''-a book
which Professor Huxley frankly admit
ted gave him more genuine pleasure
than any other i'll nonscientific litera-
ture. Whether it was the refreshing
frankness of this admission or the fact
in itself that was quoted which On this
occasion brought forth an unbounded
merriment from his students was per-
haps not fully decided for all of us,
but there was no questioning the spon-
taneousness of the applause which fol-
lowed the utterance. And this, as now
recall it, was the only instance of ap-
plause greeting the lecturer in the mid
die Of the lecture during the entire
course Of my studentship. Popular Sci

OF The Ladies' Home Journal inquiries
the best systematic course of reading as
substitute for an academic education,
with the view of equipping himself for
literary pursuits, and also which books
would be the most beneficial to read
with the idea of preparing himself to
enter the field Of fiction. To the query
regarding substitute for a college edu-
cation Edward w. Box replies: GAS a
substitute for college education, where
1t is a matter of choice, am not so sure,
since so much depends upon the man.
10 one man good course of reading,
wisely chosen and followed, would be
infinitely more helpful than u college
education, while in the case Of another
man just the reverse would be true.
Some men absorb information more
readily and retain it better under self
training, while others need the compul-
sorry force Of teaching to impress things
upon the mind. But where q college
education is for some reason, not aces
slble, and substitute must be found,
then course of reading is unquestion-
ably good-none better, i'll fact
With respect to tho inquiry concerning
preparation to enter the field of fic-
ton, Mr.. Box considers it difficult tc
answer, "since so much depends upon
the particular field of historical fiction

haps. is that which suggests the reading
of number of the best novels dealing
with successive periods of English his
tory from Saxon times to the early part
OF the present century. 1 give a list mot
reproduced in this extract which in

tiers of English historical fiction, but it
might be doubled in length several times

books of value in this one field. A like
selection may be made from the novels
treating of different historical periods

Italy and other countries of Europe and
America. The field is almost limitless,

OF American history which need to be

CURLING IN AMERICA.
The Old Scotch Sport Steadily

HOW THE GREAT GAME is PLAYED.

The Gordon Medal and Its Winners, tho

Now that the old Scotch game Of golf is
so popular In tho United States, there
seems an excellent prospect thnt another
famous Scotch pastimc, the sport Of CURL
ing, may increase its already largo number
of devotees on this side Of tho Atlantic.
Tho curling season will soon be ut Its
height In America, and it is believed tho
bonspiels will be greater drawing cards
than over before.
Thirty years ago tho votaries of curling
In tho United States decided to have O fed
Grafton of clubs similar in character to
Cor Aud Rcspeotit Mither, as tho curriers'
fondly term tho Royal Caledonian Curling
club. This finally resulted in n meeting
being held In Now York city Juno &C.

Club of America was formed under very
favorable auspices.

tho Manitoba branch of tho Royal. The
Northwestern association and tho Grand

tho United States and wore formed with
tho American principle of tho greatest
