Thunderstorms on the Water.

"On the water" said a grizzled old
bayman, when you e a thunder
storm rising you want to keep an eye
on the lightning. If you see it in the
distance striking down further and
further to the right from where you
first saw it, or further and further to
the left, why, that indicates that the
storm is working to the right, or to
the left, and it may pass around you.
"But If you see it all the time com
ing down in the same place and all the
time getting brighter and brighter,
why, that indicates that it's coming
straight toward you; and that's the
time, son, when you want to make for
home, or get in your sail and make
everything snug till the storm passes
over"

JOHNNY KNEW WHAT 1T MEANT
It Was Something the Teacher Used
Every Day.

A girl was teaching her first term
of school last winter in a small coun
try place called Olneyville, CT. The
scholars, as in most country schools,
we're a miscellaneous lot from six to
IA years of age, some of them being a
little hard to manage. More than
once the teacher was obliged to resort
to the ~old-fashioned method to keep
order.
One day one of the older scholars
came to the word sarcasm" in the
reading lesson. This was too much
for him, and he asked the teacher
what that word meant. The teacher
was surprised that one of his
age did not know the meaning of so
common a word, and finally asked if
there was anyone in school who did,
and if SO, to raise their hand. No
hand was raised.
why" said the teacher, tits some
thing l use myself nearly every day
here in school" A knowing look went
over a little fellows face sitting near
the front, and up went his hand.
well, Johnny" said the teacher,
"do you know what it means?"
"Yes, marm," said Johnny. TT
means a ruler"

TIES SCARCE IN WEST CANADA.
This Is Due to the Rapid Construction
of New Lines.

S rapid construction Of new lines
- r&hsAy IN the wa. EsS de &sxs
amount of repair work, which must
constantly be done, has necessitated
the use of vast quantities of railway
ties during the present summer and
the fear has been expressed that there
might soon be a shortage in this es-
sential OF railroad building, says the
Winnipeg Free Press.
The nature of the demand for rail-
way ties is strikingly instanced in the
gradual disappearance of the vast
piles of ties, accumulated during the
previous year., by the Canadian Pacific
railway at Vermilion on the main line
east between the city and Port Ar
thur.
At the beginning of the year hun
dreds of thousands of ties were stored
in the pits at Vermilion awaiting the
time when they would be needed in
connection with the development of
the various lines in the central west.
At the present time of all these ties,
very few remain, and it has become
necessary to turn to other sources for
the large number required. Fortu-
nately there is no lack of ties of the
quality required and the work of o
struction and improvement goes IN
uninterruptedly.
At the present time the dividing
line for the supply of railway ties is
at Moose Jaw. The ties needed on all
Hppc aocf of fbaf uofuf pnpaa from tho
territory between Rat Portage and
Fort William. The ties for the terri
tory west of Moose Jaw come chiefly
from the Crows Nest branch, the
points of supply being chiefly between
Elko and Kootenay. Next year it is
hoped that the ties for the Edmonton
branch may be secured at Red Deer,
the material being RATED down the
river to that point from the noun
tains. At the present time all ties
used on the branch, including those
used on the Lacombe and Westaski-
win extension, must be brought all
the way from the mills on the Crows
Nest branch, part of the haul being
through the mountains, where the

a addition to the mills between Elko
and Kootenay Landing, there are 9th
ers in the far west, where ties in large
numbers are produced, notably the
mills of the Columbia River Lumber
company, which at Golden, sometimes
manufactures as many as 100000 in a
single season.
The ties needed for the railway of
Vancouver island are of pro-
duced on the island, and those of the
Prince Albert branch are manufac-
tured at Prince Albert.
The price of good ties has risen
steadily during the past 20 years and
is still rising. The price is now so per
cent. higher in the eastern portion of
western lines than in the western por-
ton, varying from 80 to 40 cents per
tie, between Winnipeg and Port Ar
thur, and from % to 26 cents in the
mountains. The lumber used in pro
duction is much the same east or
west. Spruce, tamarack and jack pine
are the trees chiefly used, in addition
to which cedar is employed in British
Columbia

IIse of Amber Combs.

Probably the newest decoration for
the hair is the use of amber combs OF
all descriptions. Very light amber for
very dark hair, dark amber for very
light blonde hair, always seeking as
great a contrast as possible. Further
more. as to the style Of the combs, all
Of them have the olive shaped tops. A
large comb is used in the back with
at least two side combs. Since the
run on gold-mounted combs, and the
consequently |cheapening of the style
has come about, the beautiful trans
lucent amber comes as a welcome
change. and it is universally becoming
not only to blondes, but to b%runettes.
