oehalt of the request for additional
appropriations is the fact that the
school is growing rapidly. The re-
port is for the years of 1899, 1900 and
1901. In 1899 the enrolment was 1910,
the number of teachers was thirty
seven and the teachers pay roll was
$41.41O. In 1900 the enrolment was
1851, the number of teachers was
forty-two and the teachers pay roll
was $45,S00. In 1901 the enrolment
was 2,017, the number of teachers was
forty-nine and the teachers pay roll
was $53,S00. 1t is anticipated this
ratio will continue, in which event the
present appropriation will be made
quate.

Des Moines, Aug. S.-The thirteenth
biennial report of the State Normal

appropriations for the school by the

The former outlines briefly the needs
of the school. The latter goes into
detail, telling explicitly why each adj

BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
Great improvement Have Been
Noted Since the Accession of
King Edward.

A complete Transformation has
come over buckingham palace since
the accession of Edward VII. At
night it no longer presents a dreary
prospect unrelieved by single CLEAN
of light. The windows are illumi-
mated, the courtyards are bright
with incandescent lamps and the
whole palace looks cheerful and in
hsbitable, says a London exchange.
Buckingham palace stands on the
site of pleasure grounds known in
the days of Evelyn and Pepys and
frequently mentioned in their dairies
as the Mulberry gardens. The prop
erty was eventually bought by the
dukes of Buckingham, who erected
the first house, which, however, was
not very large or handsome, notwith-
standing that it was even then called
Buckingham palace. George III. pur-
chased it from the dowager duchess
of Buckingham as a residence for
Queen Charlotte, whose palace, Som
erset house, in the Strand, was re-
quired for public purposes. After
much haggling with his majesty's
agents, the duchess parted with it
for 10000. 1t was not greatly al
tered till 1924, when it was enlarged
and almost rebuilt after designs by
Joseph Nash for the London resi-
dence of the royal family.

CANADA'S BIG FISH CATCH,
Value of the Great Industry Is Be-
yOnd the Ordinary Mans
Conception.

The annual report of the depart
ment of fisheries, which has just been
published at Ottawa, shows that no
less than 70,s63 men were last year
earning their living by exploiting
Canadian waters, using $780, 6O
fathoms of reel and other fishing gear,
representing capital of 100000.
Nearly 1900 schooners and tugs
manned by s,970 sailors, as we'll as TO-
s92 other fishermen, using over $4,000
boats, found occupation in this vast
industry. The lobster plant alone is
estimated at 1884 $50, comprising s5S
canneries, dispersed on the seaboard
of the maritime provinces.
No less than 1s,7os persons found
employment in this branch of the fish
ing industry, using 100000 traps.
The salmon preserving industry in
British Columbia, comprising 50 can
neries and representing a capital of
$1,3s0,00o, gives employment to 1927
hands. The amount of capital invest
ed in the fisheries last year exceeded
that of the year previous by $3.50, TAB,
and 719 more men were engaged in the
industry.
The total value of the catch of fish
in Canada for the year amounts to
$21, 891, FOG, being an increase of about
$2,250,000 over the preceding year.

THIS MAN Whales WHISKY.
Queer Way in Which Reformed To-
per Gratihes His Appetite
for Alcohol.

"Give me pony of brandy, quick!"
exclaimed a nervous-looking man as
he rushed up to the bar in Chicago
hotel the other afternoon. The
liquor was at once forthcoming, but
instead of gulping it down, as the
mans manner naturally suggested
that he would do, he poured lit
tie into the palms of his hands,
rubbed them together, and buried
Ocean. He gave long-drawn shifts of
Inhalation until the liquor had evap-
Grated, and then poured more from
the glass into his hands. This oper-
alton he repeated until the glass was
empty. Then he paid for his drink
and went out with look of content
ment on his face.
Whats the answer?' asked an
interested spectator.
SIT simply means that there are
more ways than one of beating the
devil around the stump" said the
bartender. "That man swore off
drinking the first of the year, and I
don't believe he has swallowed
drop of liquor since. He inhales it
now-always brandy. I've known
him to come in here as often as five
or six times in one day and go
through the performance you have
just seen. These swear-off fellows
are queer fish. l know another man
who stopped drinking whisky and
took to bitters-the kind you put a
dash of into cocktails. He Travelled
with drinking crowd, and every
time the others took whisky he
would pour out a drink of bitters.
No; it didn't make him drunk, but
it nearly ruined his stomach. He
spent a month in the hospital and
then went back to the real stuff"

WHO GAVE THE TITLE2
in England as to VIC
toria's Recognition as Empress
of India.

An animated discussion is now going
on in England as to who first suggest
ed that Queen Victoria be invested
with the title of Empress of India.
Thomas Power O'Connor, usually re-
liable as to his facts, declared that Sir
Andrew Clarke, long prominent IN In
dian affairs, was the originator of the
idea; others insist that Disraeli Oord
Beaconsfeld) is entitled to the honor.
The latter, however, made no such
claim, but frankly gave credit else
where. In the debate on the third
reading of the royal titles bill in
March, 1876, Mr.. Disraeh quoted a let
ter from correspondence young
lady who is only IL years of age-so
there is nothing compromising to her
conduct or my own. Her father was
in the house of commons few days
ago listening to our debates and the
young lady asked her father what the
debate was about, and he told her the
house of commons was discussing
whether the queen of England should
be called empress of India. What
silly men they must bel said she; 4
have known that for three years.
and how do you know?' she was
asked. Whereupon the young lady
produced a geography book and point
ed to a passage stating that British
India is under the dominion of Great
Britain. Her majesty the queen bears
there the title of empress of India"
The geography was, as matter OF
fact, well-known work and, as Dis
raeli observed, was mot to be despised,
for it is in it's eighty-ninth edition."

At a recent dinner party in Washing

early in his career Norton graduated
in medicine and took up the practice,
later giving it up for the more enticing
practice of politics." The story in
question was told by one of DR.. Nor

TRAGEDIES AVERTED.
Projected Murders and RObberfes
Prevented by the Intervention
of Small Things

Public opinion cites some cases in
which tragedies were prevented by
unforeseen accidents.
A man who had planned murder in
railway carriage, cunningly timing
his attack for the moment when the
train was passing no station and when
no other train was expected to be in
the vicinity, carried out part of the
programme to perfection. His hand
was on his victims throat, and all
should have gone well, when a shout
arrested his attention, the train
slowed up, and he found himself a
prisoner.
A local Special" put on at busy
junction, was the cause of his failure.
The express had overhauled the slow
er train, and the moment of passing
had been the moment chosen by tGe
murderer. The deed was witnessed
and the express stopped.
A party of desperadoes having de-
termined to rob a train, CREASED the
rails on a steep incline that ran
through cutting. They were defeat
ed by the small accident Of the bank
giving way beneath the feet of two of
their number, who stood waiting on
the edge, ready to fire on the driver of
the locomotive below. The earth that
gave way beneath their feet fell upon
the rails, and enabled the engine to
keep going until the top of the rise
was reached.
A banana rind once averted an ex-
plosion planned by anarchists Pro
~ceeding on a fete day to the spot Sc
lected, the man who was carrying the
bomb stepped on the piece of fruit
skin. He fell with such force that the
bomb at once exploded, and he himself
was the only person killed.
A wooden penholder, stuck behind a
bank clerks ear, caught in the hammer
of a revolver held close to his head by
a robber, and prevented the weapon
from going off. The robber took
