An odd Race.

An exciting form of winter sport In
which Canadian boys excel, Is barrel
racing, and 1t 10 great fun can tell
yeu.
These races are on Ice.
Ordinary barrels, with their heads
removed, are placed In regular inter
walls along the race course, for about
a quarter Of a mile.
Then, at given signal, all the boys
skate for the first barrel. Many reach
1t together, and, as each skater must
pass through all the barrels In order
to win, there Ii quite a scramble for
drst turn.
Sometimes a barrel wheels complete
ly around white a boy Is working his
way through 1t, and when he comes
out, he is 80 confused that he skates on
in the wrong direction. Usually the
laugh Of the spectators makes him
realize his blunder. and he quickly
turns about and tries to make up for
host time. It is quite an exciting sport
and an amusing one also for the spec;

"REAuTY AND THE BEAST"

Flow q Pretty Old story Is Misread

When a lovely woman weds a rich,
coarse, cruel man, the cynical modern
observer exclaims, Beauty and the
Bestr The characterization Is a wick
ed misleading Of one Of the loveliest of
myths, a story as fruitful Of wisdom
to-day as when 1t sprang out Of the
early life Of the world.
Beauty was a good daughter and a
brave woman. Her father lost his for
tune, and she set herself to serve him
When prosperity promised to return t.
him, she begged gift of roses rather
than Of Jewels or laces. When he
again fell Into trial, was captured by
the Beast and forced to promise one
Of his daughters as a ransom, Beauty
at once offered herself as the sacri-
fee.
In the palace of the Beast, surround.
ed by every luxury, but not knowing
what fate awaited her, she never for
got her cid father, dreamed Of him
nightly, aid at last begged leave to &c
to see him and return. Although she
was persuaded to stay week beyone
her leave, she came back Loyalty to tbs
palace o. the Beast. The poor crea
ture was Ihalf-dead Of grief for what
he believed to be her loss, and the
sight Of his pain and his delight gave
her courage to avow her recognition Of
his noble qualities, her love for him
and her resolve to be his wife in spite
Of his hfdeous exterior.
! Instantly the Beast was transformed
into handsome young price, freed
from an evil charm by the devotion Of
the brave woman, and Beauty and the
prince came into their just Inheritance
Of joy and peace.
The symbolism of the myth has q
| profound truth. The Beauty who would
work a charm upon the Beast in mar
to-day must also possess the simplicity
which prefers the rose to the dfa
mond, the industry which does not feal
poverty, the fllial loyalty which will
not finch from dangerous duty, the in
tuition which sees the great heart will
the ugly form, and the courage which
dares all for love.
When the woman Of to-day and to

A Family in Distress.

Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, used
to be as fond of her dolls as any other
little girl, and her dolls went through
the same experience that dolls with
imaginative mothers usually undergo.
One day, at dinner in the palace, her
small majesty made her appearance
when dessert was served, and placed
herself next to courtly old general.
After eating some fruit the httie girl
turned her gaze up at him and Sc
riously exclaimed, 81 wonder you're not
afraid to sit next to mep
Everybody at the table turned to
ward the childish voice.
ION the contrary" said the general,
"I'm but too pleased and henored to
sit next to my future queen. Why
should I be afraidT

quite woebegone, my dolls have the

A Historic Leg.

There resides in Washington an old
man who saw service in the Civil
War as colonel, although In after
years he came to call himself general,
hose only wound in action was a slight
scratch on his leg. Nevertheless, this
wound has always been a matter Of
great glory and pride to him, and he
has nursed 1t ever since, and has
grown lamer every year that the mem.
cry Of his bravery might ever be with
him.
One afternoon, when he sat at his
club, nursing the injured leg. a fel.

SHOEING OF AN AFRICAN MULE

The picture herewith given comes
from Greytown, Natal, and shows the
method of shoeing refractory mule
which is in vogue in that faraway re-
gfon. BY means of pulleys, ropes and
wide leather band the animal is put
into a frame, its head resting on a
padded bar, its front legs bent and
fastened to side bars, and its hind legs
attached to stout crossbar. To Pre-
vent damage from the heofs tive
coarse bags are tied about them. Thus
protected from all active interference
on the part of the animal, the shoel
may do his duty with comparative
safety.
