That the government is apprehen-

try there has been sent a circular I'M
strucing them to make haste to secure
suitable candidates.

HIS TIPToE HABIT.

'One habit don't get over yet" said a one time flat dweller who has now attained to the dignity of a house, ''is that of walking around on my toes.
 We lived in flat house under a family whose floors were uncarpeted and who used to walk around on those bare floors fiatfooted with their heavy shoes on-tramp, tramp, tramp all the time. Over our heads 1t was always laundering, and sometimes It used to drive us pretty nearly distracted. They were nice, well meaning people. all right, but they just didn't think, and we had to suffer for 1t.
 But 1t made me think that If their walking around like that over us dis turbed us so. what must our walking around be to the people under us?
 That led to my forming this tip-toe- ing habit that still clings to me. From going on tiptoe on the bare places I came to walking on tlptoe all around our fiat, where We had carpets or rugs as we'll, and so at last I came to walk instinctiyely along the tiled floor of the hall without
 "Some of my folks laughed at me, but I taught them at least all to walk softly in the flat, while with me the tiptoe habit became confirmed.
 Then fortune smiled on us rather broadly and here We are, as you see us, In a house, where we could jump on the floors If we wanted to and never disturb anybody. But the tiptoe habit formed in the flat still clings to me and frequently I find myself, as you found me just now, walking around here on my toes.
 You wondered at It. I wonder at myself when I find myself walking around that way, when 1t comes to me that I am tiptoeing, and my folks say I make myself ridiculous and scandal seem quite to get over going around so. It's the force of habit, you know that's all.
 But I shall get over It all right in time. It's an ingrained sort of habit, but even now, and we've only been here about six months, I find the greatest sort of luxury in walking around the house freely and naturally as I would anywhere, without fear of disturbing anybody, and I'm doing that more and more all the time and 1t won't be long before I'll be able to stop tiptoeing all together."-New York Sun.

The Increased responsibilities of gov ernment which will come when aerial locomotion k=s peen perfected have been to an extent set forth by Captain Ferber Of the French army, who ex- horts his country to diligence in pro- vision against the perils of the future. Captain Ferber shows most conclusive ly that with aerial flight an easy ac- complishment the energies of the gov ernment must be redoubled to protect society against the smuggler, the anar- chist, the criminal, whatever his pc cular sphere of action. He explains most lucidly that an aerial patrol will be necessary to guard the frontier against those who would evade the GUS toms duties by skimming over the tops of Notifications and other lmpediments along the frontier, and that the police must be provided with flying machines duly equipped with weapons of offense In order to intercept and embarrass the smugglers aforesaid. Services of an aerial police will be needed also to regulate the speed limit of travellers as we'll as to prevent anarchisttc gen tlemen in airships from sailing leisure ly over a town and dropping bombs re- gardless of consequences. Patrols will be employed likewise to check undesir- able immigration and to perform other duties heretofore connected with their calling on the earth's surface. The scene of operation will be shifted, but the duties will be practically the same. In view of these requirements 1t would almost appear that the benefits to be derived from mastery of the air are fairly offset by the inconveniences, for, unhappily. the criminal as well as the virtuous citizen profits by the advance ment of science. And what would 1t avail citizen of Chicago If, returning from the theater. he Is held up 500 feet above the corner of North State and Erie streets, with the absolute certainty that the policeman Is at the other end of his aerial beat or Is refreshing him. self elsewhere? And to patrolmen and uuOulllcu pO4ICe must bt duuCu o ny HIS constabulary, provision which has not been noted in the new charter, but which is a foregone necessity, regard less of expense. In short, all forces of protection must be doubled. whether applied to a standing army, the GUS toms officers, or the municipal police force. In view of Captain Ferber's warning and the unmistakable justice of his conclusions, the responsibilities of the future are not likely to reassure tlmid human being. To Paul's fa- nous list of perlls, of waters robbers, heather, city, wilderness, etc, etc, must now be added perils of the air and the accompanying horrors recounted. Even Paul did not apparently realize how comparatively fortunate he was.

Picks Flaws in the Story,

A thrilling narrative which was pub lished recently by a well-known maga. zine told how the author was chased into tree by tiger and there found a python awaiting him.
 The tiger began to climb the tree and while the python was engaged with parrot the author crawled along a sloping branch. When the python re. turned to the place where 1t had left the writer 1t found in his stead the tiger which, according to the story, was almost a full-grown maneater.
 It then describes how the python seized and strangled the tiger, and af. ter crushing its body into pulp was in the act of swallowing 1t when the au. thor, having descended the tree and re- gained his rifle, shot It.
 The story Is authenticated by the authors sworn statement, but accord Ing to Dr. Blandford of the geological society and other eminent naturalists tigers in the first place can not climb trees; secondly, do not exist In Cey. lon; and thirdly, when immature do not attack human beings unless they are wounded. In addition, pythons, ac. cording to Dr. Gunther, are unable to swallow anything larger than a half grown sheep.-London Express
