was crash, and l didn't know any

when the horses fell down, the chariot

of the lemonade and peanut concession,

he thought he could perform. Pa Sc

chariot with four horses abreast, in
place of the Irish Roman who was ac-
customed to drive the chariot in the
race with the female charioteer, mus
cular girl who used to clerk in livery

The chariot race is fake, because it.
Is arranged for the girl to win, so the
audience will go wild and cheer her,
so she has to come bowling all around
the ring. The way the job is put up is
for the two chariots to start, and go
around twice On the first turn the man
driver is ahead, and takes the pole
and on the second turn the girls ahead,
and she takes the pole, and on the third
turn the man is ahead, and they begin
to whip the horses, who seem crazy, and
on the last stretch the man holds his
team back little, and the girl passes
him and comes out a trifle ahead, and
the crowd goes wild.

Expert Smokers.

The Japanese are experts on smoke
rings, and it is said in Japan it is con-
sidered no uncommon trick to blow
three rings of smoke in succession, the
second travelling through the first and
the third through both. Some stage per-
formers are credited with becoming so
expert in smoke blowing that they are
not only able to multiply the number
of rings thus made, but actually form
Japanese characters representing words
and sentences. One Japanese juggler,
it is declared, proposed to his wife by
forming the characters representing
his avowal of love through a thin
stream of smoke.

EDUCATIONAL ERRATA.

The retirement Of DR.. William A.
Packard as Kennedy professor OF
Latin language and literature and the
science of language at Princeton
marks the close of 35 years of active
teaching.
Granta, the Cambridge undergrad
uate organ, urges reform in the Eng
lish university education. 1t says:
Rendered unfit for business, the only
places open for the graduates are
schoolmastering and the church, and
in the uttermost parts OF the earth
are to be found graduates of Oxford
and Cambridge, now become laborerss
beggars and outcasts.'
Prof. E. w. Clark, of Ripon col
lege, Wisconsin. has been honored by
the bureau of university travel In
Rome in a manner which will make
it possible for him to go abroad each
summer and secure new stock or
material for the lectures he is deliv-
ering. He has been engaged to con-
duct the teachers excursions to the
homes of the ancients and will spend
the next ten years in this manner.
A step has been taken toward the
organized athletic training Of Amer
lean schoolgirls by the forming Of a
girls branch of the Public Schools
Athletic league. of New York city.
Speaking of this movement, Miss
Grace Dodge said that the methods
of training must be different from
those applied to the boys A prize
of $50 was offered by Mrs. Henry
Siegel for the best method of combin-
ing the essentials of moral and ath-
letfc discipline

FROM OVER THE OCEAN.

Another sign of the Anglo-FreAch
entente is that women of Paris are
taking to the wearing of Scottish clan
tartans to such an extent that the
Glasgow mills find it hard to keep up
with the demand.
In a recent race up the Eiffa! tower
in Paris victory was won by cycllst
named Forester, who climbed the 729
steps in the extraordinary time OF
3:12 As. His next competitor was less
than four seconds behind.
NataIy Won Eschtruth is undoubted-
ly the most widely liked of the women
authors of Germany. She lives in Ber-
lin and still appends her maiden name
to her works, although she married
Lieut.. Won Knobelsdorf Brenkerhoff in
1890.
Owing mainly to the inability of the
British government to find suitable
site for the proposed imperial me-
mortal to all those who fell in the
South African war the scheme has
been abandoned and all subscriptions
are to be returned.

the first time this distinction has
fallen to a Jewish lad who has not
conformed to the ordinary religious
exercises of the school.
From their home near st. Malo,
France, the children of the captain OF

Two years ago a Norwegian postal
clerk was convicted of having been
long and Systematically pilfering from
the mails; he had done away with
some 1,5OO American letters. A few
weeks ago another was convicted of
the same offense; he had appropriated
at least 1000 American letters in two
years.

THE CALL OF THE
CANADIAN WEST.
The Greatest Wheat Crop Of the
Continent.

The year that has just closed has
done great deal towards showing the
possibilities of Western Canada from
an agricultural standpoint. The wheat
crop has run very near to the 100,000,000
bushel limit that was looked upon as
too sanguine an estimate only short
time ago, and the area that has been
broken to fall wheat for the coming
harvest will go a long way towards
enabling the farmers of the West to
overlap on the 100,000,000 bushel esti-
mate next year. And while the spring
and winter wheat have been doing so
well during the past few years, the other
cereals have been keeping UP with the
procession. Rye and barley have made
immense strides, and peas and flax have
been moving steadily along. Dairying,
also, has been successfully carried on
in the new provinces, and in every stage
the farmer has been Striking it rich. ;"
To such an extent has the success of
the West taken hold of outsiders that
the rush of Americans to Saskatchewan
and Alberta, which was looked upon as
marvellous last year, bids fair to be
largely exceeded in 1906, and as there
are still millions of acres of free home
steads available, which the building Of
The new railways will render accessible
TO the markets, new wheat lands will
be opened up ere long. Amongst the
first to avail himself of the opportunity
presented will be the American settler.
In large number of American cities
Dominion Government Agents are To-
Gated, who are able and willing to give
the latest and best information in re-
gard to the new districts which the rail-
ways will open up, and there will be no
abatement of the rush to the Canadian
prairies during the coming season.
Some time since poet in the columns
of the Toronto tStar' had the follow
ing stirring lines, which throb of the
Western spirit:
There's a stir in the air, there's a thrill
through the land, there's a movement
toward the Great West;
And the eyes Of all men for the moment are
turned to the country that we love
the best;
For tits Canada's day in the worlds cal
endar, and to this merry toast let us
sup:
Here's to the land the young giant of the
North, where the prairies are open
ing up!"
They come from the East and they come
from the South-they come DER the
deep rolling sea-
They come, for they know they will dwell
meath a flag that makes all men equal
and free.
Then. once more the toast, and let every
man rise, and cheer ere he sips from
the cup:
Here's to the land, the young giant of the
North where the prairies are open
ing up!''

sounded like a coon song, coming from a
photograph. 1t was the closest call
from death pa ever had, cause they had
to cut the helmet with can opener
to let pa out, like you open
can of Holsters. When they
got the helmet opened, so pa could
come out, he looked just like a
boiled lobster, and when the chief owner
of the circus come up on run, and asked
if pa was dead, pa said: mot much,
Mary Ann; did l VIM" and the man.
ager said it was pity they ever opened
that helmet and let pa out. The man
told pa he won in a walk, but the chief
of police of Scranton was going to arrest
pa for exceeding the speed limit
They took pa to the dressing room,
on a piece of board, and when the wom-
an driver saw him, she got an AK, and
wanted to cleave him from head to foot,
but the bearded woman stepped in front
of her and said: Not on your life,' ?
and she shielded pa from death with her
manly form, which pa says he shall
never forget. Pas old friends in Scran-
ton gave him a banquet that night, but
pa couldn't eat anything, cause the rim
of the brass helmet cut a cash in his
Adams apple
After the chariot race the managers
concluded they wouldn't let pa have any
position of Importance again very soon,
and | made up my mind you wouldn' I
ever catch me in any game that pa was
in; but in the circus business you can
never tell what is going to happen from
one day to another.

him what to do. They knew he could
drive four horses, because he said he
was an old stage driver, and when he

helmet. and the cloth of gold gaunt-

female drove out of the dreSSing-room
and halted by the door for the announcer
to announce the great Ben Hur chariot
race, l got into the chariot behind pa,
and told him he must win the race, or
the people of Scranton would mob him.
For they knew these races were usually
fixed beforehand, but since he was to
drive one of the teams, all his friends
were betting on him. and if he pulled the
team and let that livery stable lady win
the race, they would accuse him of CIV
