The man who captured Gen. Santa

He is Edwin Elvin Elliot, who now

its welfare was looked after by an ex-

The day begins at Point Iona at 6
o'clock; half an hour later the stud

physical exercise, the girls being
dressed in white and the boys in
white blouses with dark blue trousers.
This drilling lasts for about three
quarters Of an hour. Then a breakfast
at which milk is largely taken, is
served. During the breakfast as we'll
as at other meals there is music. In

part Of the instruction at Point Iona.
After breakfast the children and
students break up into their various
groups for their days instruction and
recreation. The little ones are taken
back to the nursery or to the shore II

Red River has probably as fine a dis
play of horticultural products as any
in Manitoba. The whole of his hold
ing Is in a high state of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid
vegetable specimens, which have for.
tunately escaped damage by hail, al
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within few miles. The
potatoes are wonderful crop, and he
expects to raise 1900 bushels frsm
his patch of Az acres. A half dozen
OF tubers selected yesterday average
more than pound each. Adjoining
the potatoes may be seen marvellous
collection of tomatoes. There are 600
plants. all growing under an enor-
nous weight Of fruit. One single
stock picked yesterday contained
eighteen tomatoes and weighed four
pounds. This extraordinary example
of marvellous growth, together with
some OF the potatoes were sent to the
Free Press Office.
The proprietor was the first In
town with several specimens, inciud-
Ing green corn. The season has been
favorable for onions, and one square
patch Of nearly an acre is looking re-
markedly healthy. In addition there
are good crops of cabbages. cauliflow-

kins, marrows. cucumbers, celery. peas.
lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de-
partment' has not been neglected and

known blooms were shown, including
a specially choice lot of asters.

Elliot found bag of gold under the

eminent. The sack contained in all
$4,000.
Mr.. Elliot's regiment, the Fourth
Illinois. saw much hard service In the
ensuing month. but the war ended in
September, 1847, and the soldiers
were mustered out in the following
year. The capture of the leg was pro-
ductive of much merriment at the
time, and many accounts OF the Incl.

story Of the man who secured The leg
is probably the only Authentic ac-

Philadelphia, discussed tolerantly the
souvenir craze that has of late begun

into the bedroom to select from their
box on her workable some suitable
buttons and the wherewithal to apply
them. But just as she turns away
with full hands, those wicked buttons
escape from her hold, and with the
natural perversity that animates all
things some days, they cease not their,
rolling till they have bestowed them
selves far under the dressing-case,
quite beyond reach. A hasty excla-
smation springs to her lips, but is
bravely depressed, while the vexed
frown deepens. Losing temper and
patience together. she puts forth all
her strength and lifts the dressing
case clear away from the wall, rolling
1t aside while she picks up the fugi-

as well be one thing as another"
For moment honest Charley looks
at his young wife with eyes and
mouth open; never has he heard such
words from her before In that mo-
ment it seems to dawn upon him for
the first time how much sharper is
the outline Of the still pretty face,
how pale the once pink cheeks, what
dark lines under the blue eyes, how

the completeness of the shock.

Herbert's Forest Home.
In order to sustain his squatter
rights, Mr.. Herbert built a bed sitting
room around SQua's hut, and then bit
by bit added room here and there,
until the crazy pile, such as looms up
to-day, between the heights Of Boldre-
wood and Berry Beeches, was COM
pleted Just before his death, last
December, he constructed an observa-
ton tower, which to-day looms up
unfinished over the accumulation OF
buildings; and beneath the shadow Of
its piles, within little clearing sur
rounded by tall elms and poplars, the
vanished host lies at rest.
"And do you think" one OF Mrs.
Tingley's most trusted aids was ask.
ed, that you will be able to get your
children in so an out-of-the-way and
lonely spot as that of the Old House
in the New Forest?"
why not?" she answered musical
ly. 1T cannot be lonelier than Point
Iona was when we started. Why, the
jack rabbits and snakes were still
there, and the place was a tropical
desert. Now there are 400 children at
school there and $500 applications to
hand"
And how is the teaching of
Theosophy to be applied to the chill
dren?"
The Application to Children.
"Oh, 1t Is difficult to say It Is to
study children, to sympathize with
them, and to enter into their amuse-
ments and their sorrows; to enfold
. them In ones arms, to make mud pies
and build castles and palaces and fort
resses with them; to ride over tho
moon on broom; to teach them to
love music and colors and flowers and
sunshine, and to play with them at
being kings and queens. Then, you
see, they grow up to be kings and
queens-real kings and queens"
Besides her brief speech in the man.
sion in st. Johns Wood, Mrs. Tingley
has prepared for those of theosoph-
ical turn of mind little statement In
which the question:: How May One
Become Theosophist, and What Is
Required of Believer" Is answered.
1t has sting in 1t for Mrs. Besant
1t reads as follows:
First, a careful study OF the self
and the recognition of both the higher
and the lower nature of mana recog.
milton that man Is divine and In es-
sence that he has power to govern the
lower, selfish nature by the higher,
the divine, principle within us. This
requires self-study and self-conquest,
which gradually transform the temple
which has become impure and per
verted to a fit tabernacle for the
spirit A man Is transmitter of eth.
er good or evil. and only by self
knowledge and self-control can either
be enhanced or mitigated."

London.-Mrs. Katherine A. Ting
icy, high priestess Of Theosophy, ar
rived in London with three great
esoteric objects in view: To discred-
It the claims of Mrs. Annie Besant,
who declares that she is possessed OF
the soul Of the late Nine. BlaVatsky,
the founder of the modern theosoph-
lcal school of philosophy; to rehabil-
ltate the memory of the late William
Q Judge of New York, who has been
denounced by Mrs. Besant as a char
iatar. and to establish in the heart OF
the New Forest, near Ringwood, a
Philosophical academy similar to that
maintained by Mrs. Tingley at Point
Coma, Cal. Through lack of funds, if
cot through lack of personality, Mrs.
6est.nt's grip upon English theosoph-
tstD has been gradually waning, and
Tor some time past the advocates of
eSOCeric culture have sorely felt the
aeed Of an enthusiastic leader, who,
Nth power to make converts, shSuld
lso cause funds to flow into the de-
Ileted Golfers Of the society.
Her work in New York, in Cuba and
california has shown, so certain
English Theosophists think, Mrs.
ringley to be such a leader. When
Nine. BlaVatsky died several years
!go, Mr.. Judge asserted that, through
evelations made to him by the Ma
latmas, her soul had transmigrated to
lis body and he had been designated
s her successor Mrs. Tingley was
hen his lieutenant.
Routed Mrs. 5esant.
About the same time Mrs. Besant
pudiated Mr.. Judges revelations
Ad declared that the soul of the Bla-
Jatsky had been transmitted to her.
Mr.. Judge, who was skillful lawyer,
70 argued as to place the burden of
ruth upon the Engllshwoman. He
aid: prove that l have not received
communications from the Mahatmas."
This, Of course, Mrs. Besant could not
D, but she continued to proclaim her
badership, and gathered around her In
England a desultory following.
When Mr.. Judge died, Mrs. Tingley
Icame his successor by a similar
ken, and her enthusiasm, her charm
address, and her executive ability
aced Theosophy upon broader,
ore practical, and popular basis than
lat which had formerly held it. Some
2 years ago Mrs. Tingley acquired a
ong point of land, called Point Iona,
n California, and there established
her Philosophical Educational Insti-
tute. Six years ago she was joined
here by the Hon. Nan Herbert. daugh-
