From London Answers.
Answerites will not be surprised to
hear that the Kaiser claims the Brit

mat he is nearest to it. At first blush
mat claim sounds idiotic in Britishers
ears, but on reflection it seems as
though there were at least little sub
stance underlying it.
The Kaiser has made it known that,
as he is the eldest child Of the eldest
child of the late sovereign of these
realms, he is, in the natural sense, heir

iidtural sense William II of Germany

FROM OF sHtt bAhes
From the New York Times.
Salt Lake, April 10.-Traveling a dis
lance of 337 miles, climbing noun

adventurer is red and is known by the
name of Tom. He belonged to John M.
West of Salt Lake.
Three weeks ago Tom stole a
founder. West put him into bag
and concealed him under q seat in q

was discovered and turned loose at Ca

No Interest in Concern,

James l.. Treat writes relatives here that the account of the recent troubles of the Nichols-Curtis Company in which he is a stockholder, in the Los Angeles papers few weeks ago, and one of the articles was published in the SUN, were misleading. He says that M. Dimmick has not been con Dected with the concern for several months and that Mr. Dimmick was not an obsconder, and that Mr. Dimmick is not indebted to the company in any manner, and he does not know of any reason why the Los Angeles papers should have used the name of Mir. Dimmick in connection with the pres ent troubles of the concern.

For the moment the pax Britannica reigns and the woolpacks come down more freely than before; but the Chum- bi valley probably owes it's reputation more to the welcome contrast it pro- vides to the appalling passes by which it is guarded than to any intrinsic prosperity.

THE SCHOOL MoyEMENr.

America has only begun to realize her opportunity in the value of schools gar dens as an educational force among the thousands of children in her crowded ci-ies. An effort is being made to at tract the attention of educators to the Model School Garden,n which, directed by Mr. Herbert J. Hemenway, of the Hartford School of Horticulture, will be most attractive feature of the World S sair at St. Louis If the Public E,du- cation Association of Philadelphia suc- ceeds in it's effort to have at least one school garden opened in the summer of 1904the garden movement will have been at least inaugurated in four great Eastern cities-New York, Boston Philadelphia and Washington.
 The first school garden in America was started in Boston by MT. Henry S. Clapp in 1890. The garden was originally intended for wild flowers and so well has the work succeeded that at the pre- sent time it includes more than one hundred and fifty natives wild plants. In 101 large vegetable garden was ad- ded to the flower garden. Last season Boston had sixteen of these gardens; and with only this small number Boston is yet far ahead of other cities in Amer ica in the school garden movement The Review of Reviews.

IN THE sIcILIAN HIGHLANDS.


 There is, except from Mount Etna or the great rock above Castrogiovanni, or from the walls of centuripe or Troina, or from the beech woods of Maniace at the summit of the serra del Re, no view in Sicily comparable in magnifi- cent range with that from La Generosa, as Polizzi is surnamed. This small town, once Norman eyrie of Count Roger-his mountain whip for the Saracens-stands on an extraordinary rock or precipice at an elevation of over three thousand feet sheer from the surrounding mountain region. In the Middle Ages Polizzi was one of the most prosperous inland towns of the Sicilian Highlands though how it could ever have been so may well puzzle the traveller of to-day, who looks up to it's crag-set height either in the blaze of the merciless heat beating with a fur nace-wing against the arid rock, or with. the sleety rain and tempestuous cloud of the tramontana or Sregale in the dreaded Stagione di Temporale-the Season of Tempest.
 But none will grude the ascent. There is, too, a tolerable locanda, not to put up at, but at which to rest awhile and enjoy, perhaps, a garlicky omefet or still more highly savored frittura, and some strong and crude, but other wise creditable, red wine. The immense panorama of the view extends over much of central Siciy-from the last spurs of the Midlothian Range on the north, above Cefalu and th% Tyrrhene Sea, to the height of Enna in the south from the Montemaggiore and Cam marata mountain ranges of the west to the steeps of Nicosia and Troina and to the snows of sky-reaching Etna on the east. Far below. in the rocky valley foam the torrents which become the Plume Salso (the Meridionalis) and the Plume Grande (the Himera Septten- trionalis) Near by are the precipitous neighboring mountain towns of Castel- lana and Petralia3 and, due south, Ali mena- on the Hanks of Monte Balza-

SETTING THE DOG ON THE
 DEACON.

"Job's widder' was not left without counsel. As soon as it was known that Job died without will, and so his lit tie property was inherited by brothers and sisters he had never seen, and his wife was left with 'the use of a third' of what she had slaved for through all her strong young womanhood, each and every one of the men who knew her came to tell her what she ought to do,
 So shemet Deacon Beales with sub dued courtesy which surprised sar more than him; for he attributed it to a readiness to admit the Spirit, 2 ushered by him, and determined to pray with her before he left the house.
 Not to alarm her. he talked Of the weather, the crops, and finally of Jobs sickness. and her present status.

WOLVES ATE THE DoUGHNuTs

Wolves have been particularly a aggres- sive this past winter in the Northwest, and many narrow escapes of human be- ings have been reported. A sleighload of people in Cass Country, Minnesota, were pursued by pack of wolves the other day. The pursued dropped dough-
 nuts along the way, and the wolves
 fought so hard for the delieaces that
 the whole party got home iil safety.
 Two lumbermen in the employ of Sam
 Simpson, logger operating in the neighborhood of Duluth, Minn., heard the howl of wolf when they were
 about a mile from their cabin. The men hastened toward camp, but did not ap- prehend any real danger.
 In few minutes a wolf was heard at much closer range. Then several were
 heard at various points. The men could
 think of nobody that the wolves had in view for supper but themselves, and they broke into run.
 They arrived breatfless at their camp, three wolves following them to within 150 feet of the cabin door. Ten minutes
 later howls of wolves in the vicinity in- dicated that great pack had assem- 1 bled.
 If you want to get a record as first class runner" said one of the lumber men who had escaped, just get out some place and get yourself chased by a pack of wolves. You will find that
 you have more muscles in your body than you have any idea of.
