allow the guard TO collapse as the door
shuts, the device being attached to the
top and upper portions of the door and
casing.
To prevent the slipping of belts on
pulleys movable pieces are set in the
wheel rim and held in place by springs,
which allow the pieces to protrude be-

STRUCK BY A WHALE.
Sea Monster Frightens q Steamer,

Crew OF Vancouver.
Quite recently passengers on the lit

Vancouver and Victoria, had a fright

not soon forget. F. P. Stinson, pas.

the Sands head and Plumper pass at a
good rate, and everyone was on deck
enjoying the weather. Suddenly some
one called out: See the whale! And,
sure enough, good-sized one was

immensely, rolling sportively in and

sharp shock which shook the entire

At Dawn of Day.

Unbroken silence. brilliant eastern skies.
Without stirring leaf,
Incense from celestial chalices,
Anoat in midair brief
Giving to mortal sight and sense
New beauties, rich and rare,
To the thoughtful mind a moment
For reverent praise and prayer.
Praise for our Great Creator,
Prayer for our wayworn hours,
Hope for fulfilled promises,
Trust in benignant powers,
Mid awe-inspiring silence,
AS night shades pass away,
New life in slow procession
Proclaims the Dawn of Day

The Maiden and the Brook.

They sat beside a babbling brook
That tumbled through a vale,
And in his eyes there was look
That told a simple tale.
She watched the limpid waters flow
And with the lilies play,
She saw the bubbles come and go,
Well knowing what he wished to say.
The moments sped! He dared not speak.
And she sat silent there;
A sunbeam sported upon her cheek,
Breezes sported with her hair.
At last, without a warning word,
She slid into the stream,
And folks mile off might have heard
The splashing maiden scream.
And did the brave young lover stay
To lay his shoes aside?
All, no! He plunged in right away
And claimed her from the tide.
They barely got their ankles wet,
But why upbraid the maid?
His love might be unspoken yet
But for the little game she played.

She Threw Me a Kiss.

She threw me kiss and the air felt sweet;
A rose tint glowed through the gloom of the
street,
AS Dorothy leaned from her window seat
And threw me kiss.
She threw me kiss with her finger tips;
AS a springtime scent from flower dips
From the roseleaf dawn of her willing lips,
She threw me kiss.
Yes, threw me kiss. and the world seemed
bright,
The cares of life were all back In the night,
For Dorothy said to my heart: "Be light"
And threw me kiss.
She threw me kiss and STROBE away,
Smilingly humming a roundelay gay.
All, Dorothies, smile on your SWANS some
day
And throw them a kiss
Yes, throw them a kiss, and the whole day
long
Their hearts will be steel to dream Of
wrong;
Their blood win pulse to one joyous song:
"She threw me kiss"

the breakfast table, and followed you
to the door and told you for the fourth
time to be sure and bring home some
lemons, for you can get them fully three
cents a dozen cheaper in the city than
we can get them out here, and you said
that you would get them, too, but felt
perfectly sure from the way you said it,
that you hadn't charged your mind with
it, and said to myself over and over
again during the day: III bet anything
in this world that he will forget those
lemons.

and let him go by because I'd told you
TO get some, and / didn't care to have
two lots in the house, but might have
known that you would no more think
of those lemons than you thought of the
pineapple told you to get one day last
week. and I'd depended on the pineapple
TO slice for tea, just as I've depended on
the lemons to make lemonade for tea
Ills evening.
And here I've gone and told the chill
dren that we'd have lemonade for tea,
and now | cant keep my word to them
bccause-what? You can go oul to the
corner and get half dozen? Yes, and
pay at least three and maybe four cents
dozen more than they cost in The city.

city tomorrow and get some myself.

boy or girl never knows at what
moment he may be called upon to save
the life of friend from drowning, espe-
cially in these days of swimming and
boating. He should therefore prepare
for the emergency by practicing life
saving devices every time he goes in
swimming. A little calmness of mind
and very little skill will often serve
to sustain a sinking ewimmer until
help may come.
One of the methods used by the Eng

picture. 1t may at first sight look diff
cult, but it is one of the easiest of all

TEAM RACING.
A Suggestion For a Great Contest Among
the Crack PAGERS.

A Suggestion For n Great Contest Among
the Crack PAGERS.
Team racing has not proved very pop
ular down the line of the grand circuit
of late years, but this may be accounted
for by the fact that the trotters hooked
together were not of the highest class
and the speed shown not great. That
what may be termed professional team
racing will not be revived seems assur-
ed, for the reason that it has not hither
to. and, similarly conducted, does not
seem likely in future to pay the asso-
cations but it is TO be hoped that races
for gentlemen drivers with their own
pairs, may be added to many pro
grammcs. 1t does not follow, however,
because team racing has not in the past
proved attractive to the general public
that it may not yet Go so, providing
horses sufficiently celebrated to arouse
popular il tCrest are engaged. N. W.
HubingeT has made suggestion that
if carried out, will supply the greatest
attraction ever arranged for harness
meeting. He suggests that John r.
Gentry and Robert j, Mr.. Tewksbury s
pair of champion PAGERS, would find in
Star Pointer and Frank Agan foemCn
worthy Of their steel and points out that
a race between these two pairs of famous
PAGERS would be the feature of all fca-
lures ever attempted in connection with
harness racing. In this Mr. Hubinger is
eminently correct. Such a race would
attract larger crowd than has ever as
sembled to witness race in harness
He says that for his part he is perfectly
willing to let Frank Agan take part III
such contest, but of course he cannot
answer for the owners of Star Pointer
1t should not be forgotten that Star
Pointer is to be sold within a month,
and hence there is, until we know who
will control the son of Brown Hal, no
use in specializing on the possibility Of
such u match being made. 1t would
seem that Pointers new owners, who
ever they may be, could not do better
than Join hands with Mr.. Hubinger,
put their horse and Agan together, and
if Mr.. Tewksbury is willing-which he
certainly will be-pace the greatest har-
ness match Of all time. -Horseman.

AS the date for the university boat
race draws near the equality of the two
crews becomes more remarkable The
Oxford men are voted to be strong, but
rough. They are very heavy in the bow,
Two of their strongest men were chosen
for muscle and staying power alone, for
they could not row before they went to
the university. The "cliqueism" at
Cambridge prevents selection on this
common sense plan.
Unless man is in the rowing set or
the chum of some powerful coach he
can never hope Of getting into the boat.
Yet Cambridge has selected this year a
really first class English eight. The only
defect is that there is too much individ-
uality in the style of rowing. The crew
will have better prospect of success
than any Of recent yecrs if only the
stroke, Ferme, who is by far the best
oar at either university, does not press
his men too hard, but gives an occasional
breather to them.
