The daughters of the late Compile de
Paris have set a good example to rich
girls who are called into mourning by
sending their clothing, including all
their colored gowns. etc., to the people
living. near Stowe, their late residence.
Fifty packages of clothes have thus
been disposed Of among families who
find 1t hard work to dress suitably, and
to whom these .'cast OFFS have value
aside from their mere worth. In these
days OF rapidly changing fashions It ID
folly to hoard stutfs whose style is as
ephemeral as the material composing
them.

President Hines of the Duluth and
North Dakota. air line addressed a
railroad meeting at this place Friday
last, which was quite largely attend
ed. President Hines spoke at con-
siderable length on the feasibility Of
the proposed railroad, stating that
they proposed to run the road from
Drayton to ST. Thomas and to paral.
lei the Great Northern to Hamilton.
Hines says that the organization Of
the Walhalla, Bathgate and Eastern
Railroad was an unwise procedure
and that he had nothing to do with it.
Hines asked everv one present to take
share in the road, but the meeting
lacked the vim and enthusiasm that
goes with success, and consequently
/ only few entered into the scheme.
H. N. Joy spoke for short time and
predicted success il every one would
take hold of the work. S. McLaugh-
Ian and a number of others were also
heard from. In our opinion the pro.
posed road would be a success ii every
one would pull together and give
their time and money to the enter
prise. One thing is certain, that
Hines can not run his road to every
town in the county, and we think
when it is settled in the minds of the
people the direct course the road is
going to take, the support of the
farmers will not be lacking. Mr..
Hines has overcame obstacles that
would make the ordinary man tired
and ii every one would take hold sue
ces would be sure and certain. Wind
and brass make sweet music to the
listening ear, built takes money to
build q railroad.

The wallabies are next relatives to the

F. G.. Aflalo tells in the Badminton
Magazine how he hunted the wallabies
10 miles up the picturesque river, called
the Rhine of the south by the Austria
lians. The hunt was failure, but the
writer had more sport after kangaroos
"We had not, my companion and l,
gone half mile" he says, when we
disturbed large gray kangaroo at his
morning toilet. He rose politely and
eyed US for moment, which would
have been his last on earth, only, as
luck would have it, he stood immedi-
ately between ourselves and the other
two of the hunters Then, while we
were bowling to each other, the kangaroo
suddenly vanished. I do not pretend to

in small opening, scratching her ear.
1t is not everybody who can intrude on
a female wallaby and find her scratch
ing her ear with hind foot, nor does
ono often find wallaby SO interested
in what she was doing as this one was.
She rubbed her ear some more. and,
shocked beyond all measure, my friend
killed her with an express ball
1.-THE eas were cut off as trophies. A
little while after this about 90 walla-
bies and kangaroos were seen in herd,
browsing in the grass a mile away, and
that was tantalizing sight, though
mighty interesting. The beasts could
scent man mile away easily, and a
scent meant go as you please hop race

concerned.
with good pull at the flask, we
crept forward. - the writer says "On

look troubled, warned by those vague
and inexplicable forebodings of instinct,
standing erect now and then and scan

The males tapped the ground to warn

It Involves Plunge Into Matrimony or

In some parts of Russia queer game
is still played at Christmas time which
has much to do with the future life of
the participants. Some prominent per-

annual merrymaking will be held at his
house. On the appointed day the young
men and women hasten to his house.
There are songs and games and dances,
but they are simply prelude to the
more important business of the day.

all the girls into one room, where they
seat themselves ON the benches. Laugh

Bird Hunters In oeylon.

A more disagreeable object than a
scorpion of Ceylon it would be difficult
to imagine. Although, as /. %. it does
not measure more than sevon inches in
length, there is species fcund in the
woods that are longer than u loot They
crawl out of some dried wood, and TAX
ing up their position on a convenient
rock or stone, looking. as they hold
their great jointed sting curved over
their backs and their claws held aloft,
the very picture of aggressive warfare.
Here they stretch themselves in the
broiling sun and await their prey.
These are the small, beautiful honey
birds that dart from flower to flower
and take the place of the humming birds
of the east
As one approaches the scorpion seems
to shrink into the stone until it becomes
almost imperceptible. Suddenly the
great insect will raise its claws and
dart at its beautiful victim, which in q
moment is destroyed. Strand Maya

n. Ia the .soggarth Aroon" of the Poor
and Needy.
There is perhaps no better pastor IN
the world from the spiritual point OF
view. The Irish people regard him with
mingled feelings Of awe and reverence
and love. A good deal Of this regard is
no doubt inspired by superstition-by
dread of the supernatural powers sup
nosed to be possessed by Goods anoint-
ed :" but, apart from that Father Pat
has secured for himself the warmest cor
ner in the hearts Of his flock by his ex-
cellent qualities as a spiritual pastor,
as a friend when the soul is in need, as
a consider in sickness, distress and mis-
fortune Many Of the priests may lack
social grace and culture, but they are
eminently fitted for the spiritual duties
which, as pastors, they have to dis
charge. Fine gentlemen not needed for
the hard and repellent services-as they
appear to secular eyes-of the Catholic
church in Ireland
Father Pats single minded devotion
to the duties of his Office, and his keen
interest in the spiritual needs OF his
flock, give him surer title to the re-
spect and reverence of the people than
culture and learning. Besides, he Is
brought into intimate relations with the
people all through life, but especially at
its most momentous and solemn occa-
sions. "Soggarth aroon" is the peoples
term of endearment for Father Pat, and
ono Of the most popular Of the peasants
songs asks:
Who in the winters night,
Soggarth aroon,
When the cold blast did bite,
Soggarth aroon,
Came to my cabin door,
And on my earthen floor
Knelt by me. sick and poor,
Soggarth aroonP
Regarding them as body, the priests
are indeed very simple minded, I'M
worldly and warm hearted body of men,
without craft or guile-though, accord
ing to their enemies, who know them
not, these are their distinctive qualities
and they pass through their narrow,
colorless and self sacrificing lives cheer
fully and gladly, seeking no rewards, so
far as this world is concerned, but the
esteem and love of their fiocks. Con

Some Interesting Notes About Duels at
the PRACTICE of DneIing.

Some Interesting Notes About Duels and
the Practice of DueIing.
Even in Germany the popularity of
the duel is open to some doubt. Its ex-
istence rs due not so much to a desire
for combat as of fear what people will
say if there is no fight. There have been
noted duelists who were always ready
for fray, and when they entered a
drawing room women quailed and hoped
it would not be their husbands or lovers
who would be SO unlucky as to excite
the ire of the men of blood.
During the occupation of Paris by the
allies there were duels every day, the
Frenchmen usually being the challen-
gers and the victors, as they were very
skillful with the small sword. Some
times, however, they made a mistake,
as when they jeered at an English officer
over losing his leg at Waterloo. The
ieerer discovered that the loss of his leg
did not interfere in the least with the
Englishman' aim.
There have been exceptions to the
mania for fighting at any price. An
English captain, challenged by
Frenchman, had the choice of weapons
and chose pistols. The Frenchman de-
clared he would fight with nothing but
the sword, and interested friends finally
compromised on lances, on horseback.
The combat naturally attracted much
attention A great crowd witnessed the
duel. One man received three ugly
prods, but finally killed his antagonist.
No duelist could ever be made smile
over the famous story Of the Englishman
and Frenchman who were to fight a
duel in a pitch dark room. Not wishing
to kill his man, the Englishman fired
up the chimney when the word was
given, and, to his surprise, brought
down the Frenchman, who had hidden
there When this story is told in France,
it is always the Englishman who is up
the chimney.
Fighting Fitzgerald was successful Ill
18 duels before it was discovered that
he always wore coat of mail. For
years his fame in society had rested ON
his inyariable success as q duelist, and
this discovery was his undoing. A GER
tain major in fighting him objected
when his sword snapped on heart
thrust and demanded an investigation.
He was afterward hanged in Ireland for
numbering neighbor.
The most tragic duel in England was
between Lord Byron, granduncle of the
poet and a kinsman. 1t was fought i'll
q tavern room by the light Of one tallow
candle. Lord Byron was tried for mur-
der, but got off ON manslaughter, from
the penalties Of which he escaped be-
cause he was peer of the realm. This
safeguard of peers was done away with
only during the present reign. Chicago
