Teach Girls n Trade.

Give the girls a chance is the I'M
written motto of the Boston Trade
School for Girls, whose work Is de-
scribed by Livingston Wright In Tech
nical World Magazine. This enter
prise is of value to the working girl
because it enables her to enter employ
ment at an initial wage of about three
times what she could hope to receive
If she began without training; and
what is quite as important, If not more
so-she can enter at nee the better
skilled trades in which are chance for
advancement and hope for the future.
The school prepares girls for such
trades as dressmaking, millinery, straw
hat making, and machine running. The
knowledge of machines thus gained
opens to a girl the doors of thousands
Of factories, where, as apron maker,
skirt finisher, or In doing other expert
work that she would otherwise have to
spend years in hard, endless toll to
| accomplish, she enters at once upon
the best rewards Of her trade. The
work of this school is OF value to the
| community because II makes more eff
cient workers and meteorological
young women physically, mentally. and
morally out of these girls, who, the
children of to-day, are to be the wives
and mothers of the years to come.

The three poodle pups are now about

The three poodle pups are now about
3 weeks old. Officer Cherry says he
did not notice anything wrong with
any OF them until he saw two Of the
pups fighting and whining Mt the other
and trying to push him away from
them. He at first thought they were
playing and paid no attention. but his
attention was again attracted by the
same performance and he then noticed
that the pup who was being whipped
by his two brothers was a freak In
that 1t had FIVE feet.
The fifth foot Is Joined to the left
front foot and Is complete except for
the fact that there is no thumb. 1t
moves with the left foot and the pup
seems to possess the use of it as with
his other feet.
While the mother OF the dog took no
notice apparently of the freak and
treated the pup the same as the other
two, the brother pups recognized the
fault as soon as they were able to see
and ever since have been gnawing and
fighting MS If they would have the 9th
err out Of the way. Officer Cherry says
that the conduct OF the pups is remark
able in the extreme, for they seem to
recognize with the instinct Of human
persons the frailty OF the little brother
poodle and seem to think that they are
| d~isgraced by association With him.

According to United States Consul
Bergh at Gothenburg, In a report to

eminent is seriously considering plans
for promoting the return to Sweden of
such Swedish immigrants to the United
States as are able to invest money In
real estate, says the Washington Star.
AS d step in that direction it is pro-
posed to send agents to the States In
the American Onion having the largest
Scandinavian population for the pur-
pose OF Investigating the conditions
there and using the Information obtain
ed for the purpose mentioned.
One of the proponents says that even
now some emisrants return to Sweden,
but that the movement is counteracted
by u~nfavorable conditions there-such
as defective Judiciary conditions and
the bureaucratic state of society, which
repels the Swedish-Americans, who are
accustomed to more liberal social rela-
lions, and finally the intolerance of the
whole public in Sweden. which does moi
understand the self-esteem natural to
the Swedish-Ameriean who by his own
exertions has passed from poverty t.
good economic circumstances.

Oil in ALBERTA.

PROJECTORS Working Far from the
Nearest Hallway.
From time to time stories OF the oil
wealth lying along the eastern slope OF
the Rocky Mountains have been re-
ceiyed. but, apart from several mysteri-
Gus looking bore holes, securely capped,
nothing hns been either seen or heard
OF the large quantities of oil said to
have been discovered, says a CORE
spondent OF the New York Tribune at
Pincher creek, Alberta.
A few days ago f. b. Ferguson, Of
the Western Oil and Coal Company, re-
turned from a trip to the company's
wellu. He suited that the company
would be shipping large quantities of
oil before long. The fact that shipping
had not already been begun. he explain
ed, was due to lack Of transportation
and the difficulties attending n journey
into the oil country. Roads had to be
graded, bridges built and dense forests
cut out before sven the machinery
could be taken In. A pipe line to this
city was the next operation to be at
tended to, and within a few days this
forty-fve mile pipe line from the COM
pany's property to this town would be
completed. Then, he said. oil would be
pumped through to the reservoir here,
preparatory to shipping 1t by the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad.
Mr.. Ferguson states that the stories
Of the many rich strikes of oil In this
district have not been exaggerated in
fact, he is Of the opinion that the min
eral wealth OF Southern Alberta is far
richer than any n supnoses. All
along the slope OF the Rocky Noun
tains, from the international boun-
dairy northward as far as the strides Of
civilization have yet reached, oil In pay
Inc quantities has been struck. he says.
"A lonely trapper In the northern wilds
comes across a party of ~prospectors
drilling FOR oil, gas or coal hundreds
or miles from the nearest railway, and
he wonders what will become OF any
thing they may find, 1t seeming impos-
sible that 1t can be of any value sc

Of the edifice, nor does it include the
new sacristy erected by Plus VI at a

which Is not brought out by this correspondence, in which

NOVELS.

has been an interesting and perhaps
really useful discussion in various papers
on the publishing of worthless novels. Trash
of this sort gluts the book market, brings
down the circulation of good and useful
books, does not bring in money to the author,
and encourages the public to waste utterly
