The american INVASION of Canada
is assuming proportions that are al
most alarming 10 those who fear the
future domination of settlers from the
States. 1t is estimated that in the first
seven months of the present year over
$4,000 acres of land in Manitoba and
Northwest Canada have been pur-
chased by citizens of the United States.
\ recent issue of the Medicine Hat
News says: The influx of settlers to
the Canadian West is simply wonder
full. At Medicine Hat we are in po-
sition to size up the great incoming, es-
pecially of Americans, as We see here,
daily, train load after train load Of
would-be settlers. bringing with them
carloads of miscellaneous effects
horses, cattle, implements, household
stuff. The rush Of settlers is unprece-
dented, and is taxing the railways to
the limit to handle the business in con-
nection with their trade"

1t was Donald's first year at school
and he came home one day very sober
boy.
Mamma" he said "the teacher says
if we do it again wen all have 10 stay
after school, l done know just what
it is-if we whisper or we don't study
but anyway it's something like that,
and when she told us, We all cried
together"
We'll" said mamma, you need not
feel badly, because / don't suppose
you will have to stay" and she gave
Donald reassuring smile.
"Why:" he asked.
Because you have too much sense.
1t must be very stupid hoy who will
play and whisper in school and then
have to stay in and study in play
time"
Donald seemed satisfied with this
hopeful view of the case.
Two days after, his mamma saw him
coming up the street holding his head
so high he fairly leaned over back
ward. He came in and hung up his
hat.
'Ho! Some boys may like to play
and whisper and get kept, but I've got
sense! AL the boys but me got kept.

Making the Dead Live.

Dr. Laborde, of Paris, appears to
have given a striking demonstration
of the possibility of restoring to life
persons apparently drowned or other
wise asphyXiated. 1t is well known
that forced or artificial respiration has
often been successful when all hope
seemed to have vanished. DIR. La
borde's method consists in producing
rhythmical traction of the tongue,
which has been found to revive res
piration when other means had failed,
and he has invented a small apparatus
for the purpose. In the course of eX-
periments he chlorocormed q vigorous
bulldog, so that breathing seemed to
have ceased. After fifteen minutes
tongue traction the animal recovered.
In another experiment anaesthesia was
carried to a more extreme point, and
it took two hours of the action upon
the tongue to restore sensibility. In
the case Of n human patient the sub.
iect is laid on his back and the tongue
is grasped by a pair Of tweezers. at
tached to the apparatus, by means Of
which continual pulling in and out
process is kept up. The experiences
seem to point to the assumption that,
although an animal organism may have
apparently ceased to live, germ of
life may exist somewhere within which
is kept alive, and gradually the in
luence Of the living spark spreads to
the rest of the systGm.-London Tele.

Specky would run off with it to am
other corner Of the yard and gobble it
all up himself.
Mother Hen soon found out this
greedy trick of Mr.. Specby. and so one
day when she found nice juicy worm,
instead of giving it to him, she called
little Topknot.
Topknot ran off with her prize and
all the rest of the chickens after her.
Specky went. too, you may be sure,
and because he was stronger than the
rest he pushed through and grabbed
hold OF that lovely worm.
Then all the little chickens were
scared. for they knew that he was
much stronger than Topknot and
would soon get it away from her. SO
they all grabbed hold of Topknot's
end and tugged away, five of them
pulling against one.
l don't know how it would have
ended for Specky was very strong,
but Mother Hen saw the tug-of-war
and with angry clucks she marched
over to the struggling chicks.
Poor Specky! She gave him peck
that sent him flying, and away tumbled
the others over backward. And then
Mother Hen ate the worm herself.

trick can also be done in the following
manner: Take small piece of muslin
and tie piece of linen thread to each
of the four corners, as the figure
shows, forming a sort of hammock.
This hammock, together with the
thread, place in a strong solution OF
salt, as described before. Take it out
and dry it, and repeat this treatment
three or four times before the per-
formance. Hang it up, as shown in
figure, and put an empty egg shell in
the hammock. Set fire to it, and you
will see that although the threads ard
muslin are burnt up, the egg will stay
suspended in the air.-ChicaGo Tribune.
