The Burns and Colvin Medal !


The high degree Of efficiency.
attained 30 early inB he session by.
The S. G. q. I cadets in their COM
pany drills, as we'll as in the
manual of arms, is nothing short
of phenomenal. They drill with
that precision and accuracy that
characterizes the movements of
cadets who have had several years
of systematic training. The rapid
progress that the corps has made
is due first to the very excellent
training and discipline cf Com
mandant Lyon, and, second, to the
great interest that the cadets have
taken in their work. In order to
increase their interest and enthu-
slaam, Capt. Burns and Capt. Col
vim have ordered avery handsome
medal that will be awarded each
month to the best drilled cadet.
Instead of at irregular intervals,
as heretofore, competitive drills
will be held regularly every
month, aud the best drilled cadet
will be awarded the medal for the
ensuing month, or until it is won
from him by some other cadet.
With this.incentive constapt]y be-
fore them, the s. C. C.. 1. cadets
will achieve even a higher degree
of efficiency in future.

"Rose Cottage" Burned.

The residence of Rev. and Mrs.

FIRE OH Saturday night last: Mr..

flames about one o'clock and gave

presumably, from the stove, as the

portion of their household effects
were saved. Even the clothing
that the little boys, 81. To- aud

was destroyed. NJ Littlejohn
had $500 insurance On the build
ing and $500 on the allure and
personal effects. II of course
will be paid to him pro nptly, but
it will not erect building like
the one destroyed. Their loss was

they will doubtless divide the

better people in the world can be

a Fools Identity.

Some of the best known people pass
unrecognized by those to whom they
should he known. Harold Frederick
sat one night at dinner next man
whose very silence and taciturnity
caused him the more closely covertly
to survey him. Not a word was ex-
changed between the two. "Who was
that hopeless idiot that sat next to at
dinner" asked Frederick at the close
tof the meal. THAT hopeless idiot was
Cecil Rhodes" he was answered. 1t
was the fact The Colossus had been
in one of the moods in which he would
not talk, and Frederick, though he had
seen his portrait hundred times, had
not recognized him.-St. James Ga

The Foot of the Reindeer.

The foot of the reindeer is most pc
culiar in construction. 1t is cloven
through the middle, and each half
curves upward in front. 1t is slightly
elongated and capable of a consider
able amount Of expansion. When
placed on an irregular surface, which
is difficult to traverse, the animal con-
tracts the feet into sort of claw, by
which a firm hold is secured. When
moving rapidly, the two portions of the
foot as it is lifting strike together, the
hoofs making a continuous gathering
noise, which may be heard at consid-
cradle distance. IT is this peculiarly
of the feet that makes the reindeer so
sure footed and so valuable in rocky
and uneven country, where almost any
other animal would prove failure as
q beast OF burden.

Saaacity of the Ancients.

Many quotations came from the
works of Thales, the Greek philosopher
and one of the seven wise men. 1t was
he who said, know myself" Few
words are a sign Of prudent judgment"
SEARCH after wisdom and choose what
Is most worthy" There is nothing
more beautiful than the world" thine
Is the wisest thing, for it invents and
discovers all things" He also said
that 1t was the hardest thing in the
world to know oneself and the easiest
to admonish another. In his youth
Thales was urged to marry, but he
said, ut is too soon," and later in life
upon being urged again he said, at is
too late"

Memory of SIeepwalkers.

The memory of sleepwalkers is &C.
casionally prodigious under the influ-
ence of the dominating impulse that
moves them. There is an instance of
a poor and illiterate basket maker,
who was unable to read or write, yet
in state of sleep he would preach
fluent sermons, which were afterward
recognized as having formed portions
Of discourses he was accustomed to
hear in the parish church as a child
more than forty years before. Quite
as strange a case of Unconscious
memory" is referred to by DR.. Aber-
crombie. A girl given to Eleepwalking
was in the habit Of initiating the violin
with her lips, giving the preliminary
tuning and scraping and fiourishing
with the utmost fidelity. 1t puzzled
the physician a good deal, until he
ascertained that when a child she
lived in room adjoining a fiddler who
often performed on his violin In her
hearing Weekly.
