In the Soil.

But 1t Is not because Of the coming of
the capitalist, nor is it all due TO the per-
sistent proselytism of the department Of
the interior-this Yankee activity. 1t is
due primarily to the fact referred TO in the
opening of this sermon. It's In the soil.
1t is because Joseph Glenn gathered IN the
summer of 1901, from single section Of
land, $4,000 bushels of wheat. And be-
cause, also, this same Joseph Glenn bought
another quarter section ana SoWed 1t to
wheat.
For this quarter section he paid $500
cash. and from those new fields threshed
forty -four bushels of wheat to the acre.
After paying for his land, for ploWing and
sowing, reaping and threshing, he had,
from this quarter section alone. l,900 left
The story of Joe Glenn reads like extrava-
CANT fiction, but those who came to verify
were convinced of it's truth, and so the
eagle screams along the line fence here on
the fourth day of the seventh moon.
A Good Investment.
Mr.. Shanks, roadmaster on the Canadian
Northern, heard the story of Joseph Glenn
and threw up his job. Midway between
Winnipeg and Portage la Prairie he bought
a quarter section in 1902 from which he
harvested thirty-five bushels per acre This
land cost Mr. Shanks So an acre. The
other day the man returned to buy his
farm BACK. He Onereu ShdlihS %iS 'ti acre
for the same land he sold for twelve but
he had to go back without making trade;
Shanks likes the place.
From the earliest development to the
present day the Yankee has left his mark
upon the dominion. Think of the Cana
dian Pacific and you think of Van Horne
Shaughnessy. These two hgures hulk
large on the canvas when you paint the
Canadian railway. And now, in the dawn
of new century, comes another American
has cleared
for one of the grandest and boldest pieces
of roadmaking ever undertaken on this
continent. And if he shall succeed, as he
surely will, despite countless obstacles and
snares set by the INSCRIPTIONS, his name
will be written indelibly upon the minds
and held in the hearts of the pioneers OF
the northwest. This for the reason that
the Grand Trunk Pacific is called for by
the growing settlements, now twenty, fifty
and even seventy miles from any railway.
The children of these lone settlers when
they hear the first joyful cry of the steed
of steel will rise up and call him blessed.

When an Iceburg Turns Turtle.


Think of sections bigger than Rhode Is
land being torn from a glacier and swept
off into the ocean. to be ferried 5000 miles
on the bosom of the Labrador current until
the heated waters of the gulf stream cause
them to vanish from human ken! Then can
one form some idea of the immensely of the
ice area discharged from the Greenland
seas each year. Thousands of miles of val
ley are constantly emptying their contents
into the bays and fords of the north waters,
whence the tides hurry the detachments
southwark to cumber the wide Atlantic
The disposition of lcebergs to turn turtle
is one OF their most dangerous propensi-
ties. IT arises from several causes When
they start out from Greenland their bot
toms are heavy with the detritus gathered
in their glacial period, and this drops Off at
intervals as they move south. causing their
center OF gravity to change and the berg to
assume new positions. The scientific theory
OF the formation of the vast submarine
plateaus which extend from Labrador to
Fundy and are commonly known as the
Grand Banks of Newfoundland is that they
are the products of the deposits Of bergs
during countless ages.

Scythes as Church Ornaments.
From the Christian Age.


At first sight the scythe is a strange or
nament for a church, but there is nothing
incongruous in these curious agricultural
implements seen in the parish church OF
st. Mary's at Horncastle, in Lincolnshire
Thirteen of these blades are nailed above
the door in the north chapel. At one time
the blades numbered forty or fifty, but
owing to rust and decay many of them
have been lost. Each of the scythes ID
about a yard in length.
The general belief is that these blades
were placed in the church in commemora-
ton of the zeal of peasants who welded
them in defense of their faith in the re-
bellion known as THE Pilgrimage OF
Grace" which had its rise at Louth in
1886. When the people saw the ruins OF
their churches and abbeys they rose In re-
volt and, arming themselves with the in
struments of husbandry. such as the
scythes, they went forth to encounter the
enemy. They were beaten and dispersd.
but In the eyes of their cOuntrymen they
were heroes, and the rude implements with
which they fought were deemed worthy OF
an abiding place In the old church, where
the peasants had Worshiped.

THREE-YEAR COURSE.
George Washington University Re
duces Term of Dental Students.

George Washington University, formerly
Columbian. has announced that it will re-
turn to the three-year dental course. begin
ming this fall. This action was taken it is
said, in view of the fact that the three-year
course has been restored by the National
Association of Dental Faculties, in which a
large number of the colleges and UNIVERSE
ties of the country are represented, and to
which George Washington belonged until
last spring when it refused to discontinue
its night teaching
A year ago the national association de-
cided to change from three to four years.
just as some time ago the change from two
to three years was made. The four-year
course tried last year, but the falling
off in the number of dental students in the
various colleges was great that it was
considered necessary to discontinue the
practice.
Being at that time a member of the asso-
citation under it's old name of Columbian
the George Washington University carried
out the fOur-year order. Most of the larger
Independent colleges also adopted the new
system. This fai, in common with the rest
of the Independent Institutions George
Washington is following the associations
example and returning to the three-year
course.
1t is stated in explanation that the asso-
citation. having SO many colleges on it's
membership roll, practically sets the ex-
ample for tine dental schools of the country
in this respect, since students regard it's
action authoritative. To keep up the
four-year course when frst-rate colleges
are Offering the same instruction in three
years would of course be folly for the To-
cal university the matter of expense is
always serious one with the students.
The three-year course at George Wash
ington will cover the same ground as in
former years and the degree of doctor of
dental surgery will be conferred on all sat-
iSfactorily completing IT.

THE REMARKABLE GROWTH OF
THE ENGLISH TONGUE.
It is Now Virtually the Language Of
Universal Communication.

Universal Communication.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.
English Is today what French was In the
eighteenth century and Latin in the middle
ages-the language chosen by common con-
sent for intercommunication between states
men, savants and fashionable and literary
persons of different nations. With English
one can make his way conveniently along
any of the beaten tracks In Europe. More
people now speak English as their vernacu-
lar than any other European tongue.
A sign of the growth in Importance of the
English tongue Is the recent action of the
school authorities of the German govern
fnent in making English an optional study
in the public schools of Saxony. This ac-
ton was induced by petition addressed
to the government by the Dresden School
masters Association.
The petition was excellent syllabus of
the arguments In favor of English as sub
ject for study in the German public schools.
A portion of 1t was as follows:
First-English is the most widely used
civilized language in the world
SecOnd-It is the most important language
for Germany's international trade relations
In Dresden especially the knowledge of
English Is OF great advantage to shop
keepers and commercial men, owing to the
important Anglo-Amerfcan colony there.
Third-English deserves preference over
French on account of its literature, which
(a) excels that of France both from the
artistic and moral point of view; CD APP
meals more nearly to our sentiment and un-
derstandng as that of a Germanic people;
(c) has played a prominent part In the de-
yelopment of our own literature.
