As was stated in the Eagle a short time

The certificate calls for burial
amounting 10 $l0o at death at any

A New Mathematical Marvel Appear
in London.
Has Jacques maud two brains?
Charcot thinks he has, and London
folks who witness the marvellous ma
thematical feats Of maud would not
be surprised to learn that he has half
a dozen brains. A huge blackboard is
placed upon the stage. Inaudi stands
with his back to 1t fair distance
away, and does not once see the
figures. His assistant, De Thorcey,
then writes rown subtraction sum OF
twelve or fifteen figures as given by
the audience, calling them out to In
audi, who repeats them and Is ready
with the answer before his assistant
can work 1t out on the board. An
other surprising feat Is the solving
mentally Of four problems at once lad
dition, multiplication, division and
finding the square root-each sum be-
ing.of several figures) while he is an
'swering q fire Of questions from the
audience as to the day of the week
OF any day of any year. After this, It
is not surprising to find that he can
mention by heart the whole of the
figures used on the blackboard. He
Is able to give his performance In Eng-
fish, French. German, Dutch, Spanish
italian and Russian.

A "successfur' Life In New York.

The current life of the average New
York man, the semi-successful young
business man who earns a salary Of
81, 400 year by the exercise of routine
fidelity is admirably defined by J. P.
Mowbray in "The Making of Country
Home" in Everybody,s Magazine.
John Denison was within a year of
being thirty, and twenty-five years
more of getting on the car at seven in
the morning and climbing back at five
in the evening, going to the same cozy
room, kissing his wife and baby in the
same way, paying the same three
quarters Of his salary to the landlord,
the grocer and the tailor, and nursing
a contented mind by going to the Gen.
trail Park on Sunday morning and the
theater on Wednesday night-this
prospect. he was beginning to feel sure,
would become intolerable in twenty
years more. But there was no escape
from 1t. He had fixed his lot and he
must take things as they came. and, IL
possible, manage to squeeze out enough
to keep up appearances and his life in
surance--in case he should make a mis-
step some night in jumping for an cleo.

CHURCH MONEY.
Some Odd Ways In which Women
Earned 1t.

Some Odd Ways In which Women
Earned 1t.
The women folk OF the Methodist
church at Oxford recently set out t.
earn money for certain church pur-
poses, and a meeting was held al
which each woman or girl recited the
method by which she had earned her
contribution, says the Boston Journal.
Some OF the recitals were funny
enough to convulse the audience, and
few are epitomized as follows: Miss
Mary Dobbs started out to do some
janitor work, but got tired and sub
contracted the job, though saving fol-
herself a margin OF profit. Mrs. M
Collins said that one day her husband
was tearing around the house hunting
for his overshoes and said he would
give half dollar to know what had
become Of them. She told him she
had sold them to the ragmans and
demanded the half. Mrs. Bay kalso-
mined her own house and saved the
dollar which an old colored man de-
manded for the job. Miss Zulu Cole
engaged in great variety of employ
ments. She got cents for washing
Mrs. Middleton's dishes, 10 cents fol
doing some sewing for her sister, s
cents from her uncle for keeping her
mouth shut five minutes. cents for
killing three cats. Is cents for sweep
ing the sidewalk in front of two stores
and cents for popping some corn
Miss LYDIA Mills made 80 cents by
mending the harness and making a
new halter for the COW. Miss Lettie
Morrill, got so cents for doctoring a
sick calf.

DEALING WITH CRIMES IN
CANADAD
(From the Chicago es-Herald, on
Ian 18th 1901

(From the Chicago Times-Herald. on
Jan. 18th, 1907
The citizens of the Dominion of Cam
ada have just cause to be proud Of
their record as law-abiding people. The
annual report of the criminal statis-
tics OF the Dominion, which has a
population of over 5000, 900, shows that
there were only twenty-five indict-
ments for murder in 1899. OF which
only two were left without final action.
Eleven Of those indicted were hanged.
nine acquitted and three confined as
insane.
Canada is a country OF vast proper
tons. Its people are scattered over q
wide stretch of territory, making po-
lice surveillance particularly difficult
and in many districts impossible. Yet
a city like New York or Chicago alone
furnish IS a far greater criminal list
every year than the whole vast stretch
Of territory from Quebec to Vancou-
yer.
The Canadians ascribe their immu-
nifty from crime to the promptness
with which punishment is melted out
to offenders. when a man is caught
red-handed in the act OF robbing al
other he is not released on straw bail
by some Justice of the peace from the
slums, to go out and repeat the offense.
Sharp and sure justice is melted out to
criminals Of all kinds, the result being
that when the guardians Of the public
peace succeed in bringing thug to
the bar they are seldom called upon to
hunt him a second time.
Furthermore, there are few court de-
lays in Canada when criminal Is
brought to book. They have no Dreyer
cases over there. There are no meth
DDS whereby Canadian criminals can
have the proceedings stayed from
month to month and from year to year
or after being convicted, appeal from
one court to another until witnesses
die OF old age or opportunities for cor
ruption can be found.
Nor does this swift method of treat
ing with wrong-doers in Canada leave
the innocent unable to properly defend
themselves. They have all the oppor-
tunities and privileges that our own
laws extend to them. The extent to
shield the guilty is lacking-that is all.
The above. taken from the editorial
column of the Times-Herald, gives
some idea OF the immunity from crime
that exists in Canada. and this Is one
Of the many inducements held out for
Americans to settle in the district
known as Western Canada. The sea-
son of 1901 will see few new sections
Of the country opened up for settle
ment. They are attractive in every
respect. It is understood that one Of
the best Indian Reserves in the famous
Valley of the Saskatchewan will Be
opened up this year, and an invita-
ton is extended to those desiring
homes to make inquiries. The price Of
the land Is said to be nominal. Be-
sides these lands. the several railway
companies have lands to sell; also the
government. For particulars write to
the agent of the government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere.

Mrs. Tanner gave little sigh.

Beryl professed her regret, but hard
ly saw the objection was her fault.
Its in this way" explained Mrs.
Tanner. 1.-THE show place near here,

that, with all England before her, she
should have drifted to the one place

BY the heroic act OF a tramp two
residents Of Jefferson were saved from
drowning in Rock river. Frank VIII
hanson and his little daughter were
crossing the river when the ice sudden
ly gave way. says the Chicago Inter-
Ocean. A tramp who was walking on
the railroad track q few hundred feet
from where the accident took place
pulled on his coat and plunged into the
water after the struggling pair, who
were fast losing consciousness. The
heroic tramp was clad in overalls and
a thin shirt when he made the plunge.
He succeeded In holding the man and
girl above water until boats were
brought. John Buchta, who was close
to the scene at the time. also worked
energetically. and was drawn into the
water by the struggling trio. After
hard work on the part Of the rescuers
all were saved. A subscription was
taken up for the tramp. and q complete
outfit Of clothing was purchased for
him,
