Different Conclusions.

The following anecdote is a good IL
lustratiOn of the different ways some
people look at things. A company of
Volunteers were practicing shooting
on range near Glasgow, and some
individuals must have been firing par
ticularly wide, for the proceedings
were presently interrupted by burly
farmer who conveyed to the captain,
in stentorian tones, the information
that several bullets had found their
billet on his premises.
"All right, farmer; all right" said
the captain, soothingly, wen try to be
more careful in future" but the farm
er would not be conciliated.
"Ou, ay, captain" he said, "it's a.
very fine for you chaps, but it's no the
same for me. Gin was to TAX a gun

St. Lucia,s sulphur Mountain.

The island Of ST. Lucia, not far from
Martinique, has a volcano, until lately
supposed to be extinct, that is known
as the Sulphur Mountain. 1t has an
elevation of 1000 feet above sea level,
while the crater covers about four
acres Of surface. The sides of this
volcano are barren Of trees and herbs,
and covered by thick deposits of sui
phur,
Formerly it belonged to France, and
Louis XIV. built at great expense, an
immense sanitarium around the boiling
springs on its northern slope, the ruins
Of which are still standing. 1t was
at the time believed that the waters
had certain curative and medicinal
qualities, but afterward this was found
to be untrue, and the sanitarium re-
malned untenqnted, and a monument
misplaced and mistaken judgment.

A GOOD TAN GONE.

In the death Of Commissioner John
w. Ross the city and District have lost
a most distinguished citizen. No better
evidence OF the esteem in which he was
universally held could be desired than
that which is furnished in his long term
Of service as a member Of the Board Of
Commissioners. His iaithiulness in the
performance of the duties of the office,
his uniform courtesy to all with whom
he came in contact, even to men who
were unworthy OF such consideration at
his hands, marked him as a man in
whose heart the spirit OF love and jus
tice reigned and won for him not only
the admiration bu, the sincere affection
OF his iellow-citizens.
His administration OF the affairs OF
the important department OF the District
government entrusted TO his care was
characterized by an intimate knowledge
OF the duties OF the Office, strongly sup
ported by an earnest purpose to make
the National Capital a model OF eff
cheney in the enforcement OF the laws
and the protection Of its people, In his
private life which was as clean as his
iaultless public career, he was beloved
by all who knew him. He was generous
with the means which came to him as
reward Of honest effort, and gave Of his
bounty without letting his right hand
know what his left hand did He was
broad-minded, granting to all men the
right to think and act for themselves.
He was wise, and used his wisdom Tor
the good OF his iellow-men. He was
patient under misfortune and disappoint-
ment and iorgiving to the paltry few
TO whom his honor and his love OF JUS
tice were offensive. His death like his
long and well-spent life, was calm and
peaceful, and the example which he lett
the world will make men better and play
thereby its part in establishing the con-
ditions from which proceeds the high
est measure OF national happiness and
peace.

British Coastguards.

There are 1900 coastguards stationed
around the shores of Great Britain
and Ireland, and they form the finest
and most highly trained reserve force
for the navy in case of war. When
the ranks of Britain's Jack Tars ate
thinned by the enemy's shots in the
next great naval war, It is the coast
guards who will be called UPON to fIl
their places. Every coastguard is a
naval seaman of at least nine years
standing, who knows pretty well all
that there is to be known about navi-
CATION, gunnery and torpedoes before
he has the option of retiring from the
rowing life Of a sailor and settling
down ashore with his wife and family.
The drill of these land sailors is kept
efficient by continual exercise.
