NEW AND PAINFUL.

A new and painful kind Of snobbish- ness has made it's appearance in this country, if we can judge from the re- marks of the Mail. of Anderson, South Carolina, which recently rebuked those Of its readers who, considering them selves better than their neighbors, hold themselves aloof from lynching bees. Many men," the Mail said, have come to believe that they are too good or too high to engage in lynching, even when they admit that it is needed. and they allow the dispensation of justice in a case of this kind to be carried out by irresponsible men and boys"
 Things have come to a pretty pass when men believe they are too good or too high to engage in lynching, even when they admit that it is needed. The Mail does well to call attention to such men. Lynching should certainly be high-toned, and it can't be if the best citizens feel above it.

are in the nest. At this time both parents are flying to and from the home with food from daylight until dark. and by carefully observing those birds
 which are seen to have their bills full of insects, worms or berries, it is often possible to locate their nest. While the eggs are being incubated, it is not near ly 50 easy to find it as the sitting bird will, in many cases. remain perfectly still even though you come within a few feet of her But if a male bird is found singing in particular place, day after day, during his usual nesting season, it will often pay to search for his mate, who is likely to be found sit ting on her treasures at no great dis tance.
 Some birds are extremely suspicious, and though you may see one with food in her bill, lowering within stones throw of her nest. she will not go to her young while you are in sight, though you wait for an hour. In such cases, the only thing to do is to hide, and if you can make the bird believe that you have gone away, she will drop down and feed her infants quickly enough. It is an excellent plan to take some one with you, and, after both of you are hidden, let your companion come out and walk away. In spite of the fact that certain wise birds have been said to be able to count to 9 hundred. more or less, you will find, I think, that the one you have, been observing will be at ease as soon as your accomplice is out of sight. and will go to her nest forthwith provided, of course, that you keep well under cover yourself.
 It is needless, perhaps, to say that the Ending of nest is of little conse- quence unless the discovery is followed by a careful observation of the birds and their actions. Records everything, and. if anything looks mysterious. try to account for it by still more careful observation. Make up your mind that, there is a reason for it, if you can only get at it. In drawing your conclusions, beware of those which would be inter esting if true:" and never believe a thing is so because you would like it to be so. Lastly, in your enthusiasm don't forget the rights of the birds, and never keep a bird from her nest so long that the eggs become chilled, or until the young suffer for lack of food, or for want of the sheltering wings of their mother

4 CANADIAN NOTION.

There are labor troubles in Canada too, and mild form of arbitration will probably be tried on some of them. Sir William Mulock, Minister of Labor, has originated a bill which is to be brought before Parliament. This bill provides that in the case of a rail- road strike or lockout or in the proba- bility of either occurring the Minister of Labor may cause, on his own initia- tive or at the request of certain others, an inquiry to be made regarding the matters in dispute through a commit tee consisting of a representative named by each of the two sides and third individual chosen by the first two. If the trio are in a conciliatory mood and yet cannot reach a settle ment of themselves, the committee se- lected as described may endeavor to bring about a settlement satisfactory to both parties. Should no better suc~ cess attend their efforts, then, if both parties consent, the committee of con- ciliation may resolve itself into 0 conl- mittee of arbitration or be reconstitut- ed for the same purpose. The commit tee of arbitration may then continue it's investigations and the findings of a majority of it's members, which shall into the form of written report, stat ing the steps which have been taken to arrive at the facts, the causes of the dispute and the conclusions reach ed, and within a reasonable time sub init it to the Minister of Labor, who will then make 1t public. In making its investigations the board is to have full power to summon witnesses and to call for books and papers, but neither side appears in any way to be bound by the decision rendered, if it does not like it. It seems to be ex- pected that public opinion will be the force that will settle the dispute.
 If this scheme works well in Canada perhaps it will merit a trial here At first sight, however, it doesn't look very promising.

VANITY :, OF RUNNING HAND
 THROUGH HAIR.


 Why does man always run his hand through his hair when he takes his hat off?" asked an observant man. Did you ever notice that man will in- variably do this very thing? Is, it just nervous habit? Is it vanity? It is an old habit. have never known a man who did not indulge this habit. Even men who have no hair to run their fingers through, men whose heads are as bald as billiard balls, will brush their hands over their heads when they wanted to smooth their tousled hair, of course, this would afford ample ex- planation of the habit. But why should a man who has no hair on his head do the same thing? It is not sufficient answer to say that such a man may have had a full suit of hair at one time, and thatit Is simply matter of habit contracted under different conditions. AS rule men are unconscious of the fact. They do not know why, how or when they run their hands over their heads. But they all do it just the same. Go into a courtroom, or at any place where men congIegate, and where it is necessary for them to remove their hats: and watch them. You will ob- serve that every man will go through the same performance. It seems to be a perfectly natural thing for them to do. My own conclusion Is that it is an evil dence of vanity. A man wants his hair to be just SO. Originally, probably it

to the use of the boomerang among these Indians. No other tribes of the west or southwest use this weapon, which has figured so long in the histo- ry of the Pueblos. Some scientists have claimed that the boomerang shows the Pueblos to be descendants of some of the remote Asiatic tribes that used similar weapons. This, however, is regarded as mere speculation, though the ancestry of the Pueblos, as well as of several other tribes of the southwest, is so shrouded in darkness that one guess is seemingly as good as another. At any rate the Pueblos cannot be in duced to part with their ancient and favorite implements of the white man, but they have no use for the white mans gun. They cling to the boomer ang in preference to the probability this primitive weapon, will be in use as long as the Pueblos exist as a nation.-- New York Tribune. "

4 TEACHING RxPOSfTTON.

The municipal exposition which is being held in Dresden is the first of it's kind ever held. but it ought not to he and probably will not be the last. It contains exhibits from 12S of the 156 cities in the German empire having a population of 25,000 or more. There are two main divisions of the display. The first shows the condition of municipal activity in Germany at the beginning of the twentieth century and it's devel- opment in recent years: the second brings together a collection of appli- ances and manufactures produced by German firms for municipal purposes. The first division comprises eight gen. eral departments: Public streets and places, including street construction, mains. lighting, tramways, bridges, har- bors; town expansion, including housing; public art: public health and safety: education; charities; public finance, in- cluding municipal trading" municipal statistics, including methods of regulat- ing public employment.
 Such an exhibition would do this country much good. Our cities need to know more about each other and how city work is done
