Alexander the Great.

Professor Benjamin Ide Wheeler
says of Alexander the Great in the No
vember Century: No single person.
ality, excepting the carpenters son of
Nazareth, has done so much to make
the world of civilization we live in
what it is as Alexander of Macedon.
He leveled the terrace upon which
European history built. Whatever lay
within the range of his conquests con-
tributed its part to form that Mediter-
civilization which, under
Rome's administration, became the
basis of European life. What lay be-
yond was as if on another planet.
Alexander checked his eastward march
at the Sutlej, and India and China
were left in a world of their own, with
their W mechanisms for mar and So
ciety, their own theories of God and
the world. Alexander's world, to
which we all belong, went on it's own
separate way until, in these latter days,
a new greed of conquest, begotten of
commercial ambition, promises at last
to level the barriers which through the
centuries have stood as monuments to
the outmost stations of the Macedo-
Man phalanx, and have divided the
world of men in twain.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1899-05-04

these animals probably visit their fell
lows when trapped. The writer once
saw an odd instance of this Intellectual
concern-probab1y not very deep, for
the actors were sparrows. A brick
trap had been set in a yard and a
sparrow caught. All the sparrows in
the neighborhood had learned it and
were sitting in crowds on hedges, GU
cumber frames, sheds and buildings,
discussing the situation or staring
moodily at the trap where the captive
was imprisoned, but quite invisible.
Next day a robin was caught, but the
sparrows showed no concern whatever.
This tendency among the wild races
finds definite expression among the
domesticated animals, though instances
are not very common. We have seen
a small pig stuck in a paling through
which it had tried to squeeze assisted
by an elder one inside. Attracted by
its cries, it took the small pigs head
in it's mouth and tried to pull it
through, in doing which it almost pull
ed the sufferers head off. In another
case a cat deliberately fetched its own
er to assist another cat which was ly-
ing helpless in a fit. Moreover, domes-
ticated animals are to some extent
progressive" and have realized the
notion of ommon good among other
creatures than their own stock. There
is a good deal of service and benevo-
lence among very different homestead
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1899-05-04

to smaller communities there are eco
nomical considerations that must be
borne in mind. The full Russian sys-
TEN would be quite out of the question,
unless the school were a large and
well-supported high school. The equip
ment is expensive, the work technical
and the total yearly cost of mainten-
ance in city schools of about 800 boys
amounts to from SIS to 500 per boy.
But I see no reason why a less Ella
borate scheme of manual training in
wood and clay, such as sloyd, should
not be introduced into every village
school and even into every district
school,. 1t succeeds best with small
classes, is adapted quite as we'll for
girls as boys, and finally is so indi-
vidual that children of all ages may
work together without disadvantage.
A sloyd class should not exceed from
twelve to twenty children. The cost of
equipment may be made small or
great. A sloyd workbench with COM
plete set of tools will cost from SIS to
$25. A room equipped with twenty
benches would therefore cost from $500
to $500. This means best quality.
Such an equipment ought to last for
several generations. A less substan-
tial outfit may be bought for half the
amount.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1899-05-04

for example, of a wild animal of one
species attempting to defend an animal
OF another, even when thew are quite
competent to do so. 1t is doubtful if
a case has been recorded of buffaloes
charging to protect a wounded ante
lope, though they will do so to save
a wounded member of their own herd;
or of elephants or balloons or other
creatures which live in society, at
tempting to protect the wounded young
of any other species but their own
Among the creatures which seem to
assume the role of sentries for the
protection of other animals, there is
one, the rhinoceros bird, whose be-
havior almost justifies the belief that
1t feels some duty to the antelope Or
buffalo on whose insect enemies it is
feeding, so extraordinary and appar-
emily organized is the wal which it
maintains. But this is a very restless,
active bird, and it is quite possible
that it's familiarity with the species on
whose backs it finds food makes it
identify itself to some extent with
them. 1t probably imagines the buff
falo to be almost a part of itself. In
any case the instances of Indifference
are so overwhelming that we may set
aside the assumption hat there is a
common sympathy among non-related
animals, even when not c~arnivorous.
1t is not a defect of character, but
Of comprehension.
The relations between those Of the
same species are closer, though exhi-
billions of h~elpfulness are by no means
general, and instances of positive ill
treatment are common. The monkeys
who drown the EXCEPTIONALLY sick by
showing them off trees into the river
are certainly rather worse than the
Greeks who "marooned" Philoctetes
for the same reason. But with this
should be contrasted Brehm's story
of the rescue of the young baboon
from his dogs by a patriarch of the
troop, and the encouragement given
by an older stag to a young one which
feared to jump a fence. Lord Lovat
gives an admirable description of this
scene in the volume of the "Badmin-
ton Library on Devastating" The
old stag reached over toward the young
n at last and actually kissed him;
but the youngster would not jump.
Animals are so helpless themselves
when anything goes amiss, especially
in cases of accident, that they can
hardly be expected to do much for
others. But the impulse is often there
in the related kinds, though it is not
extended to the non-related. Offers
u around a trapped otter all night.
Cats and foxes visit the bodies of their
dead and SO do stoats and weasels. 1t
is a rule with trappers to leave these
near a trap; so We may conclude that

Curious Controversy in AustraI1u
over the Name of n station.

Curious Controversy in Australia
over the Name of n Station.
A curious dispute has been settled in
New South Wales. on the railway be-
tween Berrigan and Finley there is n
station named Wait-a-Wihle. JNhe rail-
way authorities in Sydney have long
regarded this appellation of depot on
such a business route as the Finley
line as a satire OH their operations, and
they intimated to the residents of the
district a desire to alter the name to
"Hurry-on-There." "One-Side-Please,"
Or some other phrase pregnant with up
to-date railway life and movement.
This radical proposal resulted in VIC
lent protests from the residents Of
Wait-a While, who said that the name
had been good enough for their faith
ers and for them, and that it would
have to suit the railroad magnates way
up in Sydney. The parties have been
in yer conflict Cor some time, but
ultimately the commissioners have
given way, and the romantic cogno-
men will Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

MANIToBA's CAPACITY,
Enough wheat to Supply Britain All
She Requires from Abroad.

Enough Wheat TO supply Britain All
She Requires from Abroad.
Toronto, Nov. 10.-The "World'
comments on the report of the United
Empire trade league on the capacity OF
Canada as a granaTy for Britain. The
report refers to Manitoba as follows:
Manitoba has an area of forty-seven
million acres. DedUcting ten million
for lakes, rivers, town sites and waste
land, 81, 1000, 900 acres are left for farm
cultivation or homes for 116, 900 famil-
les on 320 acres each, and as up to now
there are only q, 900 farmers there al
together, that leaves room in one prov
ince for S9,00S more wheat growers.
%Supposing, then, we got them there
and each one of them out of his 320
acres grew on an average 100 acres at
20 bushels to the acre; if you figure it
up you will find it is quite possible for
Manitoba alone to supply us with all
the wheat we require from abroad. 1t
Is only a question of money and COM
paratively speaking not money either.
The cost of one frst-claSs battleship
(about ESQ, 000) would put 5000 fam
lilies onto farms in the Northwest, al
lowing ESQ to each to find them in
implements, seeds, horses, etc, and
would keep them until their first crop
was harvested. Five thousand farm
ers, averaging 100 acres of wheat each
at 20 bushels to the acre, mean an
extra 10, 000, 900 bushels, for if that
scheme is not liked Britain would put
a duty on foreign wheat. In addition
to the wheat lands of Manitoba there
are the millions of acres in As5lll5Oll,
Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Enlarges the Boys Interests and Helps

Manual training teaches no specific
trades, but aims to give a knowledge
of the principles underlying all trades,
says the Ladies' Home Journal. Liter
ally, it means hand training. 1t teach
es the young men the principles and
practice of carpentry, patternmaking,
wood carving, blacksmithing, wise work
and machine construction, and 1t does
it more thoroughly and in far less time
than it is possible to do it in the man
ufactories themselves. The models are
not finished articles, but are simply
practice pieces intended to embody
general principles in both wood
metal working. 1 am led to believe
that manual training, by charging a
boys interests and outlook, not only
help him more surely to find his right
vocation, but also tends to make that
vocation one of nobleness and worth.
And not only are these young fellows
occupied, but they are also successful.
