SUMNER RECREATION OF THOSE WHO

even dwerers in the city within cheap and ready reach of flowers, fields and

Back TO the Farm.

After ten years rs a st. Louis police
man Hugh Mcmahon tired OF life In a
great city and has gone back to the
country. Like Clarence the Cop. he
has been transferred again." but this
time at his W wish.
He has gone back from the force TO
the farm; from politics to potatoes;
from courts to carrots; from station to
stable; from clubs TO clods: from
"p~lug-uglies' to plows; from ''pinches''
to parsnips; from mud to meadows;
from garbage to garden; from blood to
blossoms.
He has gone back from wrlts to
roses; from arrests to rest; from pool
rooms to cool rooms; from s~unstrokes
to sunhowers and sunsets; from vlo-
lence to %vlolets; from helmets to holly
hooks; from dens to daisies; from run
ming crooks to running brooks; from
murderers to meditation; from quick
thieves to quiet thoughts, and from
green goods men to the green things
Of Nature herself.
Who shall say that he has not chosen
the better part OF life? God made
the country and man made the town.
and at the very best, 1t sometimes
seems, man made a bad job of it,

Christening a Railway.

Engineers are, as a rule. sternly utll-

which they indulge In sentimental
practices. One of these occurred the

Canada has anticipated a very heavy
immigration this year, and she no"
has figures to show that she Is act
ually getting 1t In a way TO meet all
her expectations. In the first four
months of this year the doors OF the
Dominion opened to 40,812 persons
according to a report prepared by the
committee on agriculture and colonial
ton of the Canadian parliament. This
is almost twice as large as the immi-
grafton In the corresponding months
last yea.. and fully three times as
large as in 1901. the respective figures
being %, 1872 and 1898. Most OF these
newcomers have been attracted by
the wheat lands of the Northwest ter
rltories. They moved direct upon Win
nipeg, despite the efforts of some OF
the eastern provinces to retain them,
and they turned that city into a great
camp, 10 which they fitted themselves
out for the last stage of their adYen
ture for new homes. OF the immigra-
ton Of this spring a little over a
third has come from Great Britain,
the figure being 16,457. This Is three
times as large as the British immigra-
tlon Of She corresponding months OF
the preceding year, and 1t Is within
$500 Of the number of Immigrants
that the United States attracted from
Great Britain and Ireland in the same
period this spring. AS to the remain
der of the immigration into Canada,
10, 40 settlers came from the United
States. a so per cent. increase over
the preceding year, and 10,445 from
continental Europe, a 40 per cent. In
crease. These 40,672 immigrants into
Canada may appear trifing in COM
parison with the 297,070 persons who
entered the United States In the same
period, but they are pro~portlonately
more important to the country. Can
ada's population Is one-1fteeuth of
ours, but her immigration Ia now two
ffteenths as large as ours. 1t Is worth
remembering also that Canada's I'M
migrants are almost entirely Anglo
Saxon and Teutonlc races, while u
is now two-thirds made
up of Latin and Slav elements. Specu-
lation is natural as to the future OF
Canada in her relations to the United
when her Northwest territories
are filed up. but the II absolutely
certain fact of the neal future Is hat
the United States is to have a great
comnetitor In the grain markets OF
the world.

the birth of his frstborn, Enoch, Cain began building a city.
Who helped him TO build if there were no other men on
earth?
But there we're several races of men existing at that
particular time on tie earth. In Gen. XXI, IA, we have five
races mentioned. The Nephilim were one of these. They
were remarkable for their great stature-"glants.' They
existed before and after the food, a proof that the deluge
was Of limited extent. A branch of this race was the
Rephaim. og. king Of Bashan, and Goliah of Gath were
Nephilltes. \ PECULIARLY of the Rephalm was that they
had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot
The Gibborim are also mentioned in Gen. vi, A. We also
read Of the Benz Elohim-'sons Of Elohim." The Elohim-
lies are subsequently mentioned In several passages. They
were in the garden Of Eden before Adam was formed.
There they had charge of the tree of knowledge" and
Judging from subsequent uses OF the word, they exercised
judicial functions. And the Lord God formed Adam OF
the dust of the ground" Gen. H., - The word translated
dust" is apher. Apher cannot possibly mean comminuted
particles of earth. because Adam was not made of such
particles. The primary meaning of apher Is the metal lead.
Natural objects and coors have been used in all ages as
designations of men. We ourselves speak of the copper
colored race. Similarly a variety of species of men was
designated as the 'leaden oolored race or Apherhes. To
the Apherltes Adam belonged. And God said: Let us
make Adam into our image" a proof Of his modification or
evolution.
We find In the different orders of animal life mentioned
by Moses an ascending series which eliminates In Adams
formation. This IS in thorough harmony with geological
and biological facts. The ascending series Of Genesis is
arranged under seven distinct appellatons. They are;
l. Sheriff: :. Oph; 3. Tannim; A.. Behemah; 3. Remesi
6. Kayeth; / Adam. The English translation, following
precedent, runs counter to science and to Moses by render
Ing Kayeth by "beasts." Two instances will suffice to
show the absurdlty of such a translation. adam called
his wife's name Eve The Hebrew for Eve Is HAWAII,
Is but another form of Kayyah. Thus, to follow
the English translation, we should render 1t, And Adam
called his wlfes name-beast.' Second, Kayeth is applied
to God to express his continued or eternal existence. How
wrong, then, TO translate the word by beast" Kayeth

An Ants Great strength.

A. r. Miller recently weighed a
small ant and a dead grasshopper,
which 1t was dragging to its nest. The
weight Of the grasshopper was found
to be sixty times greater than that of
the ant. The force exerted by the ant
in dragging the grasshopper along the
road was therefore proportionately
eqaal to that Of a man weighing $50
pounds, pulling a load Of four n a
half tons, or a horse of 1.2OO pounds a
load of t~hirty-six tons.
