Lack OF Soldiers and Sailors.

In this country We have been long
familiar with the complaint that it is
hard to get Americans to enlist in the
navy or engage in the marine service
On top of this knowledge comes the
news from Canada that it has been
found practically impossible to garri,
son the Notifications at Halifax and
Esquimault with Canadian troops. IL
is probable that both in Canada and
the United States the condition re.
sponsible for this reluctance of young
men to enlist is the very condition
of national prosperity which both
countries are glad to record. The in.
dustrial and commercial opportunities
in America to-day are so numerous
and widespread that very much more
generous inducements than are now
held out to young men, apparently,
must be offered to PERSUADE them to
abandon the civil for the military life.

MOUNTAIN LION AND ELK.

Duel to the Death, the Huge Cat Prov
ina the Victor.
The lion quickly moved to the side
NJ the fleeing quarry and taking him
on the shoulder and breast with MS
rorcraws. embedded his terrible teeth
In the throat OF the elk. The elk gave
q stlaed cry of pain and rage as he
ATTEMPTED to trample the enemy
down. They were now coming uncom.
fortably close. The elk had swayed
in his course and staggered from tns
path. with one mighty effort he tried
TO dislodge the lion by swinging MS
head m and down and striking with
HE fore feet. but his fate was sealed.
AS well might a rabbit expect to es-
cane the eagle when once IN its talons
as this monster elk to defeat his ter
rible foe.
The great beast staggered laterally
and fell, his shoulders bearing down
the lions launches and hind legs,
causing Il to relax its death grip to
pull itself from under the elk, which
made a rallylng effort and regained its
feet. Once more the lion succeeded
in fastening it's teeth in the flesh OF
the elk. this time on the top of the
neck. and y elk made a last feeble
lurch forward and fell within ten feet
OF me.
The elk seemed to fall forward
more from pin than from weight oil
the foe; whcreupon the lion doubled
itself up. resting both fore and hind
feet on the elk's neck on either side
of the lions mouth then the hind feet
were pressed against the neck, EN-
bedding the claws deep into the elt'
flesh. and, with mighty effort the
great cat not only broke the neck, bu
literally cut it half in two. The large
white sinew of the neck was severed
By the lions teeth and pulled loos'
from the head
The elk then rolled over on its sid
and the lion began to lap the bloo'
as it spurted from the great gap a
the top of the throat.

not considered unfair, aud the money
was paid to him.

the citizens were at the postofiice,
among them the old parson AS they
stood there a drover came up with a
lot of hogs which he was driving to
market, and the people gathered
around them
'.Friend Drover," said Mr.. Mason,
what do you expect to get for that lot
of hogs?"
The drover replied that he ought to
get $500.
II have done vastly better than that"

glance around upon his former parish
