THE REPUBLIC OF CANADA
How the Annexation Sentiment Has
Been Gradually Supplanted by
a Greater Ambition.

Twenty years ago. says Cy Warman,
In Leslie's Monthly, 20 per cent. of the
people of Canada would have welcomed
the annexation Of the dominion to the
United States. Ten years ago only ten
per cent. of the men who think thought
seriously Of such a move, and to-day
no one ever mentions the matter at all.
Twenty years ago only a few dream
ers dreamed of the republic of Canada.
Ten years later ten per cent. of the
people were In favor of it, and to-day
20 out Of every 100 Canadians would
welcome the news that Canada had
cast off the cable that moors her to
the motherland and had blossomed out
as a nation.
The relations between the people of
the United States and the people of
Canada will grow more friendly and
pleasant as the years go by, because Of
the wholesale swapping of citizens now
going on. Millions Of Canadians have
gone to the states, and in the next dec
ade millions of Americans will have
crossed into Canada. We shall like each
other better as we see each other more,
for we North Americans are the peo-
ple-all Of us.

BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
The Chinese Now Sell Their Ancestral
Graves to Railway Makers
for Ten Shillings.

H&aT ~
Ancestral graves prove one of the
most serioaS Obstacles in railway maxi
ing in China, and whenever possible the
engineers have avoided them. Some
times, says the Engineering Magazine,
exorbitant prices are demanded for the
removal of an ancestors remains, but
through the influence of Chinese inter

formity has been arrived at, and the av-
erage price for a grave is taels four

"Feng Shut presents another obsta-
cle. The literal translation of the term
Is wind. water" but it is best explained
as a system of geomancy which rules
the daily action of the Chinese as a race
from the setting of a date for amarriage
or a funeral to the location of a city. The
site of every city, town or village has
been fixed by geomancers after consult
ing the oracles; each community has its
guardian dragon or some such hypo-
thetical monster, and woe betide the
individual who proposes to cut it in

TO DEVELOP LEG MUSCLES
One Of the Best Exercises Looking to
This End as Practiced
in Japan.

1t Is very necessary to possess suff1-
eient development of the muscles of the
legs, writes H. Irving Hancock, in ST.
Nicholas. One of the best exercises
looking to this end is accomplished as
follows: Stand erect, with feet spread
apart and arms hanging Imply at the
sides. Bend downward to a squatting
position. allowing the hands to touch
the floor, II possible. The squatting
position should be one in which the
student, as nearly as possible sits upon
the heels, but head and trunk should
be erect or nearly SO. When this posi-
ton has been taken, bring the arms
up horizontally forward, clasping the
hands for a moment only. Next throw
the arms as far backward as possible,
and as nearly horizontal as you can,
performing this last movement slowly.
Now slowly resume the hand-clasp,
and, keeping the hands in this position,
return gradually to a standing position.
Three Of these exercises are enough for
the beginner, and in japan the veteran
jiu-jitsu rarely performs than ten
of them.

COLD AND INSECT TISSUES
Freezing Does Not End But Only Sus-
ponds the Lives of the Tiny
Organisms.

A naturalist once. after experiments
in freezing insects and finding that
those that had not laid their eggs nor
completed their natural term of life al
ways revived, finally cut off the head
OF a fly and quickly subjected the body
to allow temperature. To all appear
ances, says st. Nicholas, 1t died, as any
decapitated fly would have done sooner
or later; but upon bringing it to the
warmth. the body, much to his surprise,
revived and resumed its struggles, until
it finally died from the effects of the
knife. This shows to what extent the
cold acts on insect tissues. They are
simply coagulated, and life does not
cease, but is only suspended; for when
this coagulation ends, the vital energies
resume their normal conditions. If,
however, an insect has nearly completed
Its natural term of life, it will be killed
by freezing; it would continue to live
for a short time under favorable condi-
tons in any temperature. The life of
most adult insects is at best exceeding
ly short.

me operations of the secret service
are confined by law to the suppression
CT counterfeiting and the investigation
CT back pay and bounty cases. This is
all the law permits the officials of the
service to work on, but every day they
ere at work on other matters. That the
law may not be openly violated the Sc
cret service operators assigned to 90
other work are practically taken off the
secret service rolls and the department
employing them is required to pay their
salaries and expenses. Nearly ali the
departments now recognize the efficiency
CT the service and call upon the bureau
at any time for q man. The department
Of justice has used a number of the oper-
ators in the last few years. In the course
of time this will become so general that
this government will probably build up
a great criminal bureau, one that will
supply officers for investigation of any
crime. The post office department now
has it's own system of inspectors, who
investigate violations of postal laws, and
the effectiveness Of this plan of pitting
specialist against specialist Is regarded
as a good one. This could be continued.

Of the government were centralized.
