Our Girls loo Restless.

No longer is it considered fasci.
mating for women to go to the ex-
IRENE of vivacity in behavior. Per
haps this is due to the criticism of
an artist who recently visited these
shores and who was much distresscu
at the way in which American women
fdgeted and gesticulated. "As most
of the athletic women of today have
large hands" he said, ''if they en-
plastic every utterance with GEES

RATE WAR IN VIRGINIA.

Richmond. Va, April 15.-The Nor
folk and Western and Chesapeake and
Ohio Railways are engaged in a rate
war which will result in the cheapest
excursion rates this summer that the
Hampton Roads summer resorts have
ever known. Already the rate has
been cut to a low record mark, and
further cuts have been threatened by
both roads.
1t is said that the Chesapeake and
Ohio, not the Norfolk and. Western,
first lepudiated the agreement which
had existed between them. The Nor
folk and Western says further that
whatever cuts may be made in the ex-
cursion rates by the Chesapeake and
Ohio will be promptly met by the. Nor
folk and Western. The Chesapeake and
Ohio officers state that they will be
prepared to meet any rate offered by
the Norfolk and Western. The rate has,
already been cut from 81 rs to Is cents.
for persons going to Buckroe or Pine
Beach this summer. 1t is probable that
the rate will be reduced to 90 cents.

Canadians and Americans.

Writing of the difference between
Canadians and Americans CORE
spondent says: THE differences are
mostly of degree; the superb self
confidence of the average American
woman, as she walks abroad, the IL
censed obtrusiveness of children, the
perpetual degeneracy of conversation
into storytelling Characters
tics are less marked in Canada than
in the states. In fact, Canada presents
as yet sub-American variety of civ
iliZation, though in some ways rap
idly assimilating to the states. Phys
ically the Canadian seems to be a
sturdier stock of heavier build, slow.
er moving and less nervous than the
American. This is particularly apple
able to the women, whose movements
and conversation are quieter, and
who are without the hunted look in
the eyes which marks so many Amer
leans.
1t may be that the colder climate
exercises some moderating influence,
but probably the chief explanation
of these differences lies in the fact
that most Canadians are country
born and bred; there are few large
cities, and even the jewellers in these
cities keep UP more constant con-
tact with country life. Nowhere in
Canadian cities does one see the pro-
fusion Of luxury and waste visible IN
New York or Chicago; though most
persons seem to live in fair comfort,
there is no class of milIionaires dom
mating society and making the form
and pace for servile imitation among
the less wealthy classes.
Hunting and fishing, with their 40
compartments of camping out. play a
large part in the national life, sport
not having degenerated into the mere
ly gambling and spectatorial habits.
Altogether the Canadian lives a
healthier life. Even busy cities like
Toronto and Montreal conduct their
business life more quietly than cities
of corresponding calibre in the Unit
ed States"

Some Curious Facts.

Animals to the number of nearly
100000 are killed yearly for their
fur. When a fish loses any of its
scales, by wound or other means
they are never renewed. The largest
moth known is the giant atlas found
in China, the wings of which measure
nine inches across. The wasp has
been observed to waylay and rob
bees while the latter, laden with hon
ey, were returning to the hive. Civ
ilization does not tend to the horses
longevity. In the wild state he lives
to be thirty-six or forty years old,
while the domestic horse is old at the
age of twenty-five years.

Deadly Herb Smokers,

Mexico's War Department has
found 1t necessary to issue orders
strictly prohibiting the selling OF
marehuana, the deadly herb which
grows wild in parts of Mexico, to the
soldiers. This action was taken be-
cause many soldiers became insane
through smoking the herb.
1t was discovered recently that the
soldiers continued to get hold OF the
herb and an investigation revealed
that many women were engaged in
the practice of gathering the herbs
and secretly selling the poison to the
soldiers.
The smoking of marehuanna gives
q p1easureable sensation that is al
most indescribable. III the practice Ia
kept UP for few weeks the user be-
comes violently insane. Although
the fatal power of the drug Is well
known to the people of the country
there are many who cannot resist
smoking the herb occasionally.-S+
