The rain rendered matters very dis

sticky and almost dangerous In many
places, but there was nothing to be
done save to plod on till we reached
our stopping-place.

New Road Across Continent.

The greatest railroad project of the
century-the building of a line 5000
miles long from Nova Scotia to the
Pacific, running through the heart of
tho great fertile belt Of Canada-is
graphically described by Richard A.
Haste in Technical World Magazine.
Although less than two years have
passed since this enterprise was
launched, already the surveys have
been largely completed, and more than
a thousand miles placed under contract
for construction. The line from Winni-
neg to Port Arthur, consisting of q
small portion Of the main line to be
built by the government, and the Lake
Superior branch, together with the
main line from Winnipeg to Edmon-
ton, will be completed before Septem-
Der, 1907.
1t is estimated that it will take
seven years from 1904 to complete the
line from Moncton to Port Simpson,
and until that time the traffic Of the
Northwest will go by way Of Port Ar
thur, by boat to some Great Lake ter
minus Of the Grand Trunk Railway,
where it will be received by that road
for eastern points.

lustration below, the invention of
Jersey City mechanic. 1t is a really
wonderful toy, the rider being able to
make the horse go any direction de-
sired. Heretofore the hobby horse and
rider have been confined to the house,
but this one can be taken outdoors,
which should be delight to the child.
The body Of the horse is hollow and
formed in two parts, hinged together.
Within the body are springs connect.
ing the two sections. The legs and
head are pivoted to the body, the mech
anism being arranged for guiding the
forward movement Of the horse. This
movement is accomplished by the sim
pie upward and downward jouncing Of
the body of the rider, the horse being
forced forward in q direct line, in
curves or in a circle. A slight rise
and fall Of the rider will cause an
alternate movement Of the legs In a
forward direction, causing the horse
to progress in a straight line if the
head Is not turned. When it is de-
sired to deviate, the pulling Of the
head to either side by the reins will
turn the forefeet in such a manner as
to cause the horse to move in the de-
sired direction.

A LAUGH IN TIME.

It Showed the Too Assertive Young
Woman Her ShOrtcOming.
Mrs. Leigh, an American living In
the Latin Quarter Of Paris with her
son, an art student, and her school girl
daughter Of 13, was entertaining a
young countrywoman Of hers who had
recently come to Europe to study mu.
sic.
Mrs. Leigh had learned that LOUISE
Andrews was a lonely stranger, and
she wished her to feel at home in her
little apartment, which was a CHEEKY
haven to many Of the members Of the
American student colony in the quar-
ter
Before the dinner was over she dis
covered that her guest would not be
likely to make many friends. She was
too full Of opinions formed on impulse,
which she expressed unlimited with We
hemence and freedom. Mrs. Leigh, q
motherly woman full of sympathy for
the youthful and inexperienced cast
about In her mind for some gentle way
In which to help Louise bring to the
surface the softer and more winsome
side she felt sure was hidden beneath
the somewhat bristling exterior the girl
presented.
"Our colleges" said Louise, when Ar
thur Leigh happened to mention his
American alma mater, do not turn
out all-round men. The development
is one-sided. The English universities
produce the finest men. They are thor
oughly trained, cultivated, and equip
ped for life as tho graduates of our
colleges never are"
Arthur, astonished at her tactless-
ness, looked down at his plate gravely
and Mrs. Leigh was about to inquire, q
bit pointedly, perhaps, if she had had
much opportunity for comparing En-.
glish and American graduates, when
Adelaide, her daughter, began to laugh.
"Why are you amused" asked
Louise, turning toward her with a
touch Of defiance in her movement. II

pleasantly, "and that's what makes me

For an instant there was an awk-
ward silence, and then they all laugh
ed, and Mrs. Leigh said, adelaide
didn't mean to be severe, Miss An
drews, I'm sure"

answered Louise, with a shy, half-ap
pealing glance of apology at her host
ess, very different from her former
look Of almost aggressive self posses
sion. "I'm afraid I've been too de
cided."
Then Mrs. Leigh knew that bel
young daughter had unconsciously
taught the needed lesson, and Louise
found encouragement and appreciation
in the smile Of quick understanding the
older woman gave her-Youth's Com
panion.
