DUNDONALD TALKS.
Accuses British Government of Favor
 itism in Army Matters.


 itism in Army Matters. London, June 12-''I have retired be- cause the British authorities offered me no employment since I was turned out of the Canadian militia for paying at tention to political corruption in the appointment of officers is the pub lished explanation made by the Earl of Dundonald, whose retirement from the post of lieutenant-general led to the recent promotion of Major-G General Ba- den Powell.
 Continuing, the earl says the fact he was given nothing to do was not due to old age, because thirteen years re- mained before the old-age clause af- fected his present rank, and that he considers unfairness. and favoritism are bound to destroy the efficiency and take the heart out of any military force,

FORTY DAYS Round the world.

Many Of us marked. an epoch for
ourselves when Jules Verne wrote
Round the World in Eighty Days"
Perhaps it was not possible then to
go round in eighty days; the book
would have been less exciting to
children If it had been possible. But
at all events 1t was nearly possible,
and many of us marked down the
epoch. How many people could say
offhand to-day, however, to what
those eighty days have been reduced?
A writer in the Daily Mail, Mr.. F. A.
Mckenzie, tells us that the journey
can now be done in forty days, and
that in comfortable trains and ships,
not by the desperate expedients of
Jules Verne.
We are told that the tickets cost
only about 1926 second-class and
1918 first-class. The journey is reck-
oned. in this way: London to Moscow,
two and a half days; Moscow to
Vladivostok. thirteen days; Vladiyos-
tok to Yokohama, two days; Yoko-
hama to London via Vancouver,
twenty-one and a half days; connec-
lions, one day. The Russians under
stand the art of comfortable railway
travelling; their carriages and buffets
are models.-London Spectator.

There IL no coming back.
The wave that left the seashore with kiss
Returns in haste; but shifting sands
have changed the spot forever more; the
OF moaning, ebbing waves attest the truth:
The steadfast miracles OF natures round---
The sun that never fails to rise or set
The quiet stars that ne'er forget
To light the windows of the sky, for fear
Some worn and weary soul might lose its
way
Without their light, or miss them, com
ing home
The mystery of buds--of waving grain
OF ripened fruits; of shining, icelocked
Each in their turn recurring. These. it is
true,
Return; but come they back to us? Not
Are we the same we were at yesterday?
Alb, no. The heart has beat few more
roll-calls
To the ranks of life, and we have answered.
We, who are older soldiers, now, and worn; ;
Once shining uniforms are threadbare
grown;
Our feet have wearied of the march. To us
There comes no more the things of yes
terday;
For we are not the same-or what we were
We have forgot-outgrown. All vainly
now
We summon friends who were true hearted
once,
And pledged forever constant. Will our
call bring them?
From the grassy graves the signing sum-
mer winds
Bring back an answer, and from graves
Strange graves, wherein no body lies
there's answer, too,
There is no coming back. Pass on, o, soul
bereft.
The Commoner.

DOLLS AT A WEDDING.

{ What little girl has ever seen an
assemblage of one hunIred perfectly
dressed dolls, all of whom were
either actors in or guests at a minia-
ture wedding? In Scarborough, Eng
land, an entertainment of this sort
was recently given for charity and
was a great success. IT took months
to get up, though. The church had
little oak pews, each with a red
knitted cushion There was a carved
oak pulpit. seats for the clergy and
the choristers and tiny carved pill
lars. The bridegroom vas il the uni
form of the Grenadier Guards, with
a sword by his side. So was the best
man. The bride, who was given away
by a correctly attired father, wore
the conventional white satin dress
with a train and veil, and had six
teen bridesmaids and two pages to
attend her. Soldiers from the Gren-
adler Guards lined the aisle. AS for
the guests, they were deliberately
and tasefully gowned in strictly up
to-date finery. The choir all wore
black cassocks and surplices, and
there was even a verger in black
robe and a policeman in regulation
uniform So many faultlessIy at
tired dolls were probably never be-
fore gathered together in any coun-
try.-New York Tribune.

ESQUIMAU FEAST OF THE DEAD
BY J. G. FRAZER.

The EsQuimaux of st. Michael and
the lower Yukon River hold a festi-
val of the dead every year at the end
of November or the beginning of De-
cember, as well as greater festival
at intervals of several years. At
these seasons food, drink and clothes
are provided for thu returning ghosts
in the kashim, or clubhouse, of the
village, which is illuminated with oil
lamps. Every man or woman who
wishes to honor a dead friend sets
up lamp on stand in front of the
place which the deceased used to oc-
cupy in. the clubhouse. These lamps,
filled with seal oil, are kept burning
day and night until the festival is
over. They are believed to light the
shades on their return TO their old
home and back again to the land of
the dead. If any one falls to put up
lamp in the clubhouse and to keep
1t burning the shade whom he or she
desires to honor could not find its
way to the place, and so would miss
the feast. On the eve Of the festival
the nearest male relative goes to the
grave and summons the ghosts by
planting there a small model of
seal spear or of wooden dish, &C
cording as the deceased was a man
or woman. The totems of the dead
are marked on these implements.
Whan all is ready the ghosts gath
er In The fire pit under the clubhouse,
and ascending through the floor at
the proper moment, take possession
of the bodies of their nam asakes, to
whom the offerings of food, drink and
clothing are made for the benefit of
the dead. Thus each shade obtains
the supplies he needs in the other
world. The dead who have none to
make offerings to them are believed
to suffer great restitution. Hence
the Esquimaux fear to die without
leaving behind them some one who
will sacrifice to their spirits, and
childless people generally adopt chill
dren lest their shades be forgotten
at the festivals
When person has been much dis
liked his ghost is sometimes pur-
poseiy ignored, and that is deemed
the seyerest punishment that could
be inflicted uron him. After the
songs of Invitation to the dead have
been sung the givers of the feast take
a small portion of food from every
dish and cast it down as an offering
to the shades; then each pours lit
tie water on the floor so that 1t runs
through the cracks. In this way
they believe that the spiritual es-
sence of all the food and water is
conveyed to the souls.
The remainder of the food is af-
terward distributed among the peo-
pie present, who eat of it heartily.
Then with songs and dances the
feast comes to an end, and the ghosts
are dismissed to their own place.
Dances form conspicuous feature
of the great festival of the dead,
which is held every few years. The
dancers dance not only in the club
house, but also at the graves, and on
the ice IL the deceased met their
death by drowning. z

THE CRYSTAL GRoTTo.

You have doubtless heard of the
beautiful crystal caves such as Nam
moth Cave in Kentucky. A perfect
imitation is very easily made. A deep
cigar box will do to start with. Now
cut five openings in the top, ends
and sides. Then drive nails through
the top and bottom into the inside
The nails should be of various
lengths so that many jagged points
may result. Wrap these points
about in various directions with
coarse thread or string, or with cam
ton flannel. Plug up all the OPEN
ings with corks except in the top,
and then pour through that into the
box a warm solution of crystallizing
alum. Now plug up this hole and
wait until the solution cools.
The solution is prepared by dis

HAWK FOUGHT HUNTER.

Albert Baker and Charles Yeager,
of this city returned from two-days'
hunting trip in the vicinity of Fritz
town to-day. They shot nine rabbits,
three red squirrels, polecat, a hawk
and red fox. The hawk measured
four feet ten inches from tip to tip of
wings
Baker, who shot the bird. had a
most exciting experience. He only
wounded it, and when he went to OBJ
tain it the bird attacked him and
sank its claws into his face, shout
ders and hands. Baker fought the
bird for fifteen minutes before he
succeeded in killing it. 1t is one of
the largest birds of it's species caught
in this section for some time.-Read-

There are some very neat little
butterfly ties-to be tied by the wear
erin Goft silk, embroidered taffeta
and linen. They certainly make a
beautiful little bow and one which,
no matter how "thumby' ones fin
gers are, will always be successful
The prettiest collar is certainly a
high batiste tucked collar, a tiny
batiste fiounce either pleated or
Huted bordering it. The ties attached
to these collars are less worthy of
praise, as their ends were trimmed
with quite unnecessary little batiste
aounces like the collar.

TRUE STORY OF A CAT.

While teaching school in little
town in Georgia the following story
was told me as true:
Thomas was large, yellow cat,
very beautiful and much loved by his
mistress. During the day and the
carly part of the night he used to lie
on the rug in front of the big log
fire. One evening the family all went
off to a near neighbours house to sit
a while, leaving no one at home but
Thomas. They left him in his usual
bed on the rug by the fire, which
was burning very brightly. They
did not want him to get cold, for the
night was extremely chilly, so they
did not put out the fire.
They had not been gone more than
a half hour when, sitting in the
neighbours house, they heard some
thing at the door. Upon opening the
door in walked Thomas. Straight up
to his mistress he walked and began
to claw at her dress. She tried to
scat him away, but he still clawed at
her and looked into her face and
meowed. He would walk to the door
and then come back to her and act in
The same manner. She at last got
ap, determined to follow. him and see
what he wanted. He led her home,
and when she got there she found
that the log had tumbled down on to
the floor and the floor was in light
blaze.
The cat had been the means of saw
ing his mistress house from burn
ing. and probably several others, as
The houses were close together. ID.

TABLE MANNERS.

The blnejay Is greedy bird; often watch
him eat,
When crumbs are scattered from our door,
he snatches all the treat,
He drives the smaller birds away, his man
ners are so rude
It's quite shocking thing to see him COB
bic down his food
And sometimes, when I'm not polite, ]
hear my brother say,
Why, now | see little boy who's eating
bluejay way!"
The sparrows are noisy set and very
qUarrelsoTne
Because each hungry little bird desires the
biggest crumb,
They scold and sight about the food, all
ehirping Me- Me- Mel
And sometimes when we children are in
clined to disagree
About the sharing of treat, my mother
says, "Why, you
Are acting now the very way the silly
sparrows do. I"
The jolly little chickadees are perfectly
polite,
They never scratch, they never bolt, they
never, never fight,
They hold the crumbs down daintily with
both their little feet
And peck off tiny little bites-we love to
watch them eat
And when my sisters good at meals, my
mother says, / see
A little girl who's eating like darling
chickadeei"

WISE WORDS.

A tight man and loose dog are
equally dangerous.
Even a blind man can see trouble
without much difficulty.
It's about all some people can do
to keep from being done.
Experience teaches us how to make
other kinds of mistakes.
Graft often goes about disguised
as a business opportunity.
While man wants but little here
below he never gets quite enough.
Some men makeit their business to
Interfere with the business of others.
1t isn't always the people who jol-
ly you the most that are your best
friends.
1t is difficult to greet misfortune
with smile when it is always
frowning.
Women love secrets because of the
pleasure they derive from letting
them escape.
1t sometimes happens that when
an actor finds things coming his way
he tries to dodge them.
Instead of throwing stones people
who live in glass houses should grow
yiolets at dollar bunch.
A mans idea of good luck is any
odd kind that leaves him a few dol
lars ahead of the other fellows
game.

good deal of pride in thinking OF
the miserable life her husband
would lead If she were ead.-From

The right solution is that both
balls reach the ground on exactly
the same instant.
Here is very sim pie way in
which to prove the truth of this
well-known scientific law: Procure
any sort of grooved board of ordi-
nary length; twist a piece of wire in
to round eye just large enough to
hold a marble so loosely that the
slightest touch will drop it through
the eye; fasten the wire to the end
of the board exactly where the centre
of the groove comes, and then mount
the board on a table with one end
propped up under block of wood or
a book, as shown in the illustration.
Now place one marble in the wire
loop and then allow another marble
to roll down the inclined groove,
starting at point x. 1t strikes the
marble in the wire and both drop
to the ground, and although the
second marble drops couple of feet
farther away from the table at point
2, yet you cannot detect the differ
ence of an instant in the sound of
both marbles contact with the
floor.-Good Literature.
