The Sirdar's tlharm.

rbe story goes that the Sidar pos .esses charm which comes from h. dia. and which brings him luck wher ever he tours. That he is one of the tlckiest men in Europe goes without saying. Lord Kitchener received a telegram of reorganization from the queen on the fact that Mahdisla has aow been given it's final blow. The Sidar replied, Your most gracious majesty, the man who does not accomplish his aim is failure ! have lived to overthrow MahGism, and !he nineteen years l hay. struggled fol aith success.

LOOKING CLASSES
This Country Now Imports but Fev
 Mirrors and Trade Is Increasing.

Most of the "frenc.' mirrors bought in the United States today are made here. Very little looking glass is im- ported now compared to decade ago. The tables are gradually turning. The European nations do not see them. selves in American mirrors, but the Central and South Americans are very partial to the America looking glasses, and this country is doing a large eX- pert business to that quarter. Penn- sylvania and Indiana furnish most = the glass which is turned into Anart can mirrors a9 present, but plate giass factories that can turn ont quality of glass suitable for the use Of mirro~ manufacturers are Zspringing up very rapidly in several of the eastern 21ates. The American gl2ssmakefa have finally succeeded frl turning out 3 superior quality of clear white 93ass which makes 8s fna mirrors as can be bought in any part of the world The
 eadtng locking glass makers have Land thfs eHt and hey import very 1!ftle glass fer theiE use. Not more than one-tenth of the mirrors made in this country last year were made of Imported glass, whereas a few years ago nearly all the American mirror makers were compelled to go abroad for their glass. In the matter of frames, the American mirrors are now put up quite as richly as any of Inc foreign creations The multiple mirror, in which one can see ones image from all sides and angles, is strictly an American creation, and has proved q big success with mer- chants, especially clothfefs and ladies fu:uishers. As for size, larger mirrors tc s. see1s < ss:, Ns- ~ss.ea- 7,s- e.sss:a-, were ever attempted in Euco2e.~~-New York Times

Within the next few years there will be tremendous opportunities for civil. mechanical and electrical engineers in Asia When the Chinese cast the first railway from Shanghai to Woosung into the river they were only preparing themselves for a network of railways over the whole of China. When the Koreans in Seoul dest.Nyed the new electric line and burned the cars they exhausted the forces of conservatism. and before long concluded that the electric railway was the best scheme for saving extra exertion in walking that had ever been devised. ~Ainslee's Magazine.

TOB0GGANING sN CANADp
A Winter sport That Is Greatly gn
 inyed by Ali Classes.

T., ming of the staple m, a. Sportsmen a. mt tie naturally -s4 'te le side of Q hill hu, net slides These are generally NJy.en erecticns with the planes fixed at an angle ot 45 de- grees. and with sheer drop Of about 100 feet. Water is poured over the wooded deeliyity. which iE the frosty air is soon transformed into ice, with a surface as slippery as glass. W hen the bottom of the chute is reached Ina track extends over fields in IS straight q direction as possible, though in some cases net particularly level, but the momentum gained by the toboggan in 6ying down the chute is sufficient to carry it over any slight uprising5 ip she ground. The Canadian tobGggaE IS a light, strong article, about five or six feet in length, and about % inches 1B width, composed of number of nar- row wooden strips secured longitud1- nally together, curling upward at the front. A handrail sometimes extends along each side Of the toboggan to en- able the passengers to hold on, but the general rule Is for one passenger to clasp the person seated next in front. the whole row of travellers being thus linked together for their rapid flight. Tn some cases there are five or six oc. eupants in one toDoggan. and with such combined weight the siedge flies down the chute as if impelled from a cannon. Both men and women enter into the sport with great gusto, for the fun is fast and furious. When there Is only one traveller to the ioboggan he lies prone upon it. and in this manner, on account of the small amount of re- sistance that Is offered by the atmos- 0here, the maximum of speed is gained.
 The chutes are properly controlled in order to avoid accidents. One tobog
 gan is not permitted to leave the sum- nit of the chute until the preceding one has cleared the bottom of the slide. Occasionally, by some misehance in- cured through faulty manipulation Of the tcboggan. ] spill occurs on the chute and if q following tobogsan were 70 dash into the overturned vessel tha result would be relatively quite a5 dls, astreus and terrible IS I collision be- tween express trains.

Primitive peoples like the Malays Of tne Philippines, and the unprogres. s.Ve peasants Of Madeira, still use ths sleds invented by their ancestors thou- sands of years ago. In countries where 'ce and snow are found it is probable iaat the very fact of a man slipping on the ice showed some inventive per. son that there was an easy way to carry what he wanted to transfer from one place to another, and so first pull ing branch along over the frozen snow instead of carrying it, he thought of putting other things on the branch, he trimmed off the twigs and leaves tha. caught in the stumps and other trees, and the beginning of the sled had come. The joining together of two iogs, and shaping them were only steps in the perfection of the earliest method or transportation which antedated the Inv ention of wheeled vehicles by many ce3 turies.-Detr9it Free Press

In riemoriam.

Isham M. Irby, noble son of lsham
and Ann Irby, died suddenly August II,
1901, aged 20 years.
He was born near Aurora City, Mo-,
January Is, 1881. Martin had two infant
brothers, three infant sisters and a Chris
tan mother to meet him on the other
side. Five brothers, two sisters and his
father survive him.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Methodist Episcopal Church in Ritz
vile on Sunday afternoon, August rs, By
the pastor, and the decedents loved
remains were laid TO rest in Ritzville
Cemetery.
Our lamented brother was brought up
under noble Christian influences. Upon
beng born into the Kingdom he was
baptized and joined the First Baptist
Church of Aurora City in 1904. Ever
afterward he delighted to say, with the
Apostle Paul: al know whom have
believed and am persuaded that He is
able to keep that which have COM
mitted unto Him against that day"
Martins life was one of genuine purity,
patience. love and temperance. AS a
a pupil of Aurora High School his work
was always thorough. He came to, this
state little over a year ago and en-
gagged in the drilling business. He was
industrious and economical, and appar-
emily had a bright future. He loved his
Saviour and delighted in the services of
the house of God.
In his long illness he would often try
to sing some favoritc hymns, and his
pure spirit would hold communion with
his Redeemer his Guide and King, and
he would shout GLORY to Cod
For life so innocent and holy there
can be but a blessed ending; and as a
flower leaves its perfume even in death,
so the life of this faithful son Of God is
full OF precious membranes and of
most lasting influence in the hearts OF
those with whom he was intimate, by his
faith his love and his obedience to the
laws of Christ
To the grief-stricken ones left behind
there is the consolation that their be-
loved relative has gone to that "haven OF
rest" where grief and sorrow are I'M
known. Believing that on some sweet
day they will all be reunited in one
family above, our departed brothers
relatives and friends are submissive to
the Divine will
Eternity will not efface the record Of
the pure and noble life which Isham M
| Irby lived in a sinful world.
Peace be to his ashes. Though dead
he yet speaketh !" d.. V.
