THE STATELY ELM.

It rivals the oak.
1t is always stately.
1t is charmingly graceful.
1t makes a delightful avenue.
Its growth suggests a playing foun-

Its wood is hard, heavy and coarsely
grained.
1t should be away from the shade of
other trees.
Its bark is ashy gray and what is
known as faky.

The manner Of collecting the fare on
street cars In Montreal is decidedly
unique. Under no circumstances can
the conductor touch the fare, which
must be deposited by the passenger in
q fare box, which is presented as the
passenger enters the door Of the car.
The conductor will make change or sell
tickets. but the passenger deposits the
fare. whichever it may be. in the box
Tho coin or ticket does not fall until
the conductor presses Il button. This
gives opportunity to see If the amount
IS correct and the coin genuine. When
once tho coin drops 1t cannot be re
moved except in the companys Office.
After the cashiers count the days re-
eetpts the count is checked by weighing
thu different coins and also the tickets.

4 queer instance of the working Of
Herbert Spencers mind is mentioned
by the two sisters in whose household
he lived. He came to the table one day
absorbed in thinking about some pho
tographs of the nebulae he had just
received:
AS he rose from his chair he stood
for minute gazing with cleaning eyes
into the distance. and then muttered in
disiOintcd fashion. as If half TO him
self, words TO this effect: Thirty mil
lions of suns. each - robably having its
own system. and supposing them each
10 be the size of pins head they are
fifty miles apart. What does it all
mean?' And then, without pause
and only n change of voice, The fun
still comes out of that cushion. you
know rs with wave of his small,
thin hand toward it he passed rapidly
out Of the room. leaving us both be-
wildered by the quickness with which
his mind worked"

DIET DELUSlONS.
They Come Down to Us From the Old
Barbnrous Tribes.

They Come Down to Us From the Old
Barbnrous Tribes.
Some diet delusions are of most mod
ern date, While others are of most re-
spectacle antiquity. Among the latter
Is that very ancient survival, the no
ton that particular foods are good"
for particular things or effects.
This Is an almost direct descendant
of the notion, held with greater or less
unanimity by nearly all savage md
barbarous tribes, that the flesh OF Wis
cera of birds and animals possessing
particular qualities will be likely to
produce tho same qualities in those
who eat them
Thus Nero used to banquet on night
ingales' tongues in the hope of improv-
ing his voice, End the savage cut out
and devoured the heart of the bear,
the liver of the buffalo, etc. believing
that the strength and courage Of these
animals would thereby be transferred
to himself.
1t Is probable that the most grew
some of ancestral rites-cannbalism-
&. was largely due to the same belief. al
though. of course, in Neandcrthal days
primitive man would have no more
hesitancy about eating his enemy after
he had killed him than he would in de-
vouring q bear or Il deer.
In fact, the early converts of the
missionaries in the South Sea islands
referred to their favorite dish as long

BLEAK SHETLAND.
Its swarms of Sea GuIls and It's Lone
Tree

It's swarms of Sea Gulls and It's Lone
Tree.
Up 4 little lane off Lerwick's one
street there is a garden. At least, it is
an inclOsed space. In the middle of
this space there is tree. 1t is not 4
very tall tree; you could, in fact, toss
a biscuit over its branches, but still it
is a tree-the only tree in Shetland.
And Shetland is proud of it. Children
who are brought for the first time to
see the wonders Of one Streeted Ler-
wick are shown this tree. This is not
fiction. 1t is the only tree In Shetland.
AS there are no trees in Shetland,
there are no birds, except of course,
the sea gulls, which you can number
by the thousand. The sea gulls are the
sparrows of Lerwick, and, as such
they have greater share in the towns
life than have the sparrOws of London.
In the morning time you will note that
sea gull sits on every chimney pot.
Sea gulls swoop and hover over every
roof in the town.
The air is full of their strange, high,
plaintive, haunting cries. Their sad,
SnrIIl long drawn cries are TO LerWlck
as the chattering of sparrows or the
cawing of rocks are to US in England
Every house has its own familiar sea
gulls and every street its own band of
sea gulls. They never mix. The chill
dren in each house have pet name for
their Cwn particular sea gulls, and,
having called them to them by those
names, they feed them every day. And
each sea gull knows what is meant for
him. No sea gull attached to one house
ever seeks to eat the food scattered
from the house next door. He does not
dare; the other gulls would kill him
So all day long the sea gulls hover and
call over the roofs of Lerwick. The
people of the town, if they come across
little pile of rice laid upon the road,
way, step over it with care. They
know that it is placed there for some
sea gull. And at night the sea gulls
leave their own appointed chimney
pots and fly gracefully away TO their
resting places on the rocks OF The Isle

UP UNTIL THE EIGHTH INNING
THE SCORE WAS A TIE AND
THEN THE LOCALS RODE THE
BALLOONS.

Without the services Of four reg
uIar players, the Fairview team was
no match for New Lisbon yesterday
afternoon, losing the game by a score
of II to 4. The local aggregation
had patched up lineup. Blair
could not pitch, Engelbert, the catch
er was sick, BrOkamp, center fielder
was sick and Schattel, third baseman
had gone to Milwaukee with the
Eagles.
Even at that it looked as if the
FairViews might win up until the
eighth inning when, New Lisbon took
a batting rally, aided by errors which
gave them five runs. Two more in
the ninth made the score one sided
Next Sunday Fairview will play the
MuldOOns Of Cincinnati, perhaps the
best team that has been scheduled
here this year. Justice will probably
cover second for Fairview and the
other regulars will be in the game.
