The local Raffles and Sherlock

But there is one feature which Cum

There is no possible excuse for the ex-

from a straight-jacket. The demon
stration is absolute muscular force
skilfully applied. But, in the applica-
ton, there Is so much nerve racking
effort, such evident physical distress
that the audience, in frenzied sympa-

excited in following the snake-like
twistings of the performer.

SMALL DOG THE CAUSE.
Considerable CommOtion on Slippery
Sidewalk This Morning.

A funny incident occurred on
Smith street this morning. 1t was
caused by a slippery sidewalk where
the snow had been partly shoveled
off. Several men were walking down
the street and a yellow dog of med
ium size was coming in the opposite
direction. The dog didn't seem to
be conscious tIdt there was anybody
else on the sidewalk except himself

the dog for he kept in the center of
the sidewalk. The dog held to his
course too and, when they met, the
mans feet slipped on the pavement
and his arms, legs. body and hat
were soon describing wonderful
gyrations in his efforts to stay on his

Someone said ''There goes the

PHILIPPINE RAILROADS.

Lines Planned by the Government--
 Needs of the Tropics.
 By far the most important move thus far made in the Philippines by the American government has been the awarding of concessions for the con- struction of certain railway lines on the principal islands of the archipela- go,
 The islands as whole are extremely fertile It is estimated also that the amount of timber in the archipelago is more than double the amount of the states of Oregon and Washington to- gether; but adequate means of trans portation were entirely lacking. The government plans provide for railroads on four of the principal islands.
 There is only one steam railway now in operation in the Philippines, run ming from Manila to Dagupan, on the iand of Luzon. Reports from this road show that about sixty-six per cent. of the total revenue is derived from passengers and thirty-fouh per cent. from freight. The freight, how ever, is increasing.
 Railways are operated very econom- ically in the Orient, largely on account of the low cost of labor, operating ex- Ipenses on the existing line averaging only about foarty-fiYe per cent. of the gross receipts.
 The fares for passengers are gene rally much lower than in the United States, and traffic is divided into three classes, Fully sixty1fve per cent. of the traffic is third-olass, and while it now seems necessary to have first | class, as a small percentage of foreign CTS and educated natives object to rid ing with the poorer class of natives, the second-class should be done away with altogether.
 Freight rates in the Philippines are higher than those prevailing in the United States, ranging from five to ten dollars per ton for a one hundred mile haul. Another interesting fact is that large freight cars do not pay, as an average carload is only about four tons, this accounting for the necessity of high freight rate.
 The ChlneSe merchants are the lar- gest shippers and by faar the best business men in the islands, outside of very few prominent foreign houses which do almost exclusively an import and export business.
 The lines which are at present under consideration are narrow gauge rail- ways, with three foot six inch track, and seem fairly well suited to the re- quirements of the island traffic. They follow the low lands wherever possible and have fairly easy grades and curva- ture. It is believed that in no case will the grades exceed one and one-half per cent, and that only for inconsider- able portions of the line.
 Probably the greatest difficulty which will have to be met is the ex- tremely heavy rainfall during certain portions of the year, As much as ten

PREPARE TO MAKE
 WAR IMPOSSIBLE
fContinued from Second Page,)


 School education is for the good of our children, of the next generation-for the betterment of the race. Tradition may offer suggestions but the interest of the individual and society are to prompt educational thought, inspire ed- ucational sentiments and dominate ed- ucational effort. If it is to enrich and elevate the life of the race the school must be a part of the industrial and social life of the people, from which it is to receive it's own enrichment guid- ance and inspiration. While it is calmly to conserve it's own integrity, it is to take the hint from the dissatis- faction of parent, citizen or employer regardin gthe results of it's work. Such hints in the report unmistakably indi- cate that the public is to require of it's schools in the future better instruction in the principles and practice of mod ern industry, better training in the ef- 1ciency of laoor and more practical education in the actual activities of men, toward which youth is constantly moving.

A SINGULAR CRIMINAL LAW.

A few days ago the murderer of MT. Reid, the Paisley man who mysterious ly disappeared from Heidelberg last July, having been arrested in Austria, was tried at Feldirch, and was con- victed and sentenced to twenty year imprisonment. The case Illustrates of the Austrian criminal law, to which the Manchester Guardian" calls atten- ton. Generally speaking, a premedi- tated murder is punishable by death in Austria, but in cases where the time of the murder and the arrest the prisoner has been punished for some othre crime a sentence of capital punishment cannot be passed upon him. Tn this case the murderer had served q weeks imprisonment for petty theft about Januray of this year, and to this circumstance alone he is indebted for his life.-We Gazette.
