How to SIT In a Hanson.

We have borrowed many things from
the English One is the accepted meth
cd of getting into and out of cab. The
novice in hanson cab driving gets in as
she would into victoria. coupe or 9TH
er American equipage and seats her
self on the far side, leaving room for
her companion or escort to be seated
by her side, next to the curb ON enter
ing. Not so the woman who has had
her hanson education in London or in
an English environment She seats
herself where she enters-that is, at
the curb and her escort is obliged to
crawl by her to get to his place Where
we turn to the right in driving the con-
tinental method is to turn to the left,
and vice versa. which probably ac-
counts for this method of transplanted
misdlrection which we follow in riding

RUSSIAN CATTLE.
Systematic Efforts to Introduce
Them Into England.

lnSm INTO England.
Consul Thomas Il. Heenan of Odessa
says that the Russian government has
for some time past been endeavoring
to induce Great Britain to permit the
entrance of Russian cattle, hogs and
animal produce of various kinds. Tn
der the auspices Of the South Russian
Society For the Expectation of Cattle
and Animal Products and at the insti-
CATION of the minister of finance
committee of English experts win visit
Russia on or about the 10th of Sep
tember next for the purpose Of exam
lining various veterinary establish
ments and also the numerous stock
farms throughout southern Russia
The committee will consist of Mr.
Kearley, NJ. r.; Mr. Lambert. NJ p,
and Professor Cope. chief of the veter
mary service of England. This com
mittee viii arrive at Moscow and, aft
er visiting the veterinary establish
ments in northern Russia, will be tax
en- south to Kharkof, thence to Nico-
Iaiev, thence to Rostoff- on Don and the
northern Caucasus. A special car has
been placed at the disposal of the
committee, and the sum of 5000 rubIes
has been granted by the Russian gov
ernment to cover the expenses of the
trip. 1t is desired, in the first place.
that the visitors should see for them
selves the condition of the veterinary
establishments and also that Russian
cattle, hogs, etc, are free from con-
tagious disease After having looked
the ground over the committee will be
in a position to advise the Russian
government what measures, if any.
might be taken which would allow
Russian cattle to enter British ports
under the most favorable circum-
stances. Russia has been engaged for
some time in trying to promote this
trade by subsidizing steamers having
cold storage room and by aiding at
various shipping points in the estab-
lishment Of slaughtering houses, pack
ing houses and houses for smoking
hams. sides and shoulders of pork.
The plan also includes the shipment of
dairy products.

Mans Million Years

According to the conclusions of Mr..
A. II. Keane, well known English
ethnologist, the first creatures that
could properly be called men appeared
on the earth in what biologists know
about a million years ago. The pre-
cursor Of man. Mr.. Keane thinks. was
some such apelike creature as the
Pithecanthropus erectus. discovered by
DR.. Dubois in lava a few years ago.
-Four varieties of men were developed;
Homo ethiopicus in Africa south Of
the equator. Homo mongolicus in cen
tral Asia. Homo americans in the
new world and Homo caucasicus In
northern Africa. From these the exist
ing races are descended.

KILLED BY A 8EAK BLOW.
The Loon Is "A Dangerous Bird With
which to battle.

which to Battle.
The loon. or great northern diver, Is
a powerful bird. The following in
stance of one of them conquering a
man happened few years ago:
A young Micmac Indian, living at
Grand Lake, ~ S., wanted to get the
skin of one of these beautiful birds to
present to his mistress on her birth
day
One day the youth, who was an adept
at initiating the peculiar sobbing cry of
the loon, succeeded in calling bird
within shooting distance. His shot,
however, failed to kill outright, and
the bird, although so severely wound
ed that 1t could neither swim nor dive,
yet retained sufficient life and strength
to remain upright in the water
The boy. thinking that his game did
not need another shot, swan out to re-
trieve it, but when he approached near
enofgh to seize the bird it suddenly
made dash at him, sending its head
and neck out with spring like an ar
row from a bow. 1t was only by a
quick duck of his head that the Indian
succeeded in evading the blow. He
swan about the loon several times, at
tempting to dash in and seize him by
the neck, but the wary bird succeeded
in foiling each effort by continually
facing him and lunging out with his
powerful neck.
The Indian then swan up to within
few feet Of the bird and, diving under
him with considerable skill, caught
him by the legs. He carried him un-
der, and. although the bird struggled
fiercely, managed to retain his hold.
But when they both rose to the sur
face again battle royal began, the
Indian seeking to carry his prize
ashore and the bird attempting to re-
gain his freedom. The bird, however,
was too much for his foe and before
the Indian had covered a yard on his
shore bound course disabled him with
vicious blow from his beak full on
the naked chest
The effect of the blow was almost in
simultaneously fatal, for the beak pene-
trated close to the Indians heart

that he had TO walk several PAGES for

BEAUTIFUL HANDS.

As remember the first sweet touch
OF those beautiful hands that loved SO much
seem to thrill as | then was thrilled
Kissing the glove that found untitled,
When met your gaze and the queenly bow
As you said to me laughingly, Keep it now!'
And dazed and alone in dream | stand
Kissing the ghost of your beautiful hand.
When first loved you, long ago,
And held your hand as told you SO,
Pressed and caressed it and gave it a kiss
And said. 81 would die for hand like this!'
Little dreamed loves fulness yet
Had to ripen when eyes were wet,
And prayers were vain in their wild demands
For one warm touch of your beautiful hands.
Beautiful hands! beautiful handsl
Could you reach out from the alien lands
Where you are lingering and give me tonight
Only touch, were it ever 50 light.
My heart were soothed, and my weary brain
Would lull itself to rest again,
For there's no solsce the world commands
Like the sweet caress of your beautiful hands.
