locomotive hauling an express train

jump. The train, without guiding
hand at the throttle, dashed into the
Montreal station, through the granite
wall, into the women's waiting room,
and then into the rotunda, where the
locomotive, after demolishing one
massive granite pillar, was brought
to a standstill by another.

DOLL INDUSTRY.

Consul General Dillingham; of Co
burg sends some information as to the
state of the doll industry in Saxony
which sheds an interesting sidelight
on prevailing trade conditions. In
1907 the export Of dolls and toys from
Coburg to the United States amounted
to $780, 46. In 1908 it fell off to
$1,920,965, decrease Of SO per cent.
The major part of the loss has been
felt in the doll trade, but the blight
has also reached the Teddy bear and
the tin soldier, for in consequence of
the lessened demand, fur animals have
declined ten per cent. and figures OF
tin and metal have been similarly at
fected. There has been painful pauc.
ity of orders for woodenware for
juvenile use, such as paint boxes,
games, pencil boxes, etc., all of which
previously had been in growing de
mand for the American market. 1t ID
somewhat disconcerting to be con-
fronted with this proof that young
America has been bearing it's share of
the troubles of its elders, for somehow
one nurses the conviction that what.
ever may be the embarrassment of the
older folks, the simple pleasures of the
little ones should remain untouched
and the child mind should be kept free
from the sense of calamity. But hard
times know no distinction of individu-
atty or of years.

DOCTORS AND LAWYERS.

Recently Mr.. Bernard Shaw deliv-
cred an address before the London
Medico-Legal society in which he adj
vocated the specialization" of the medi-
cal profession, so that it would be
possible for the doctor when not paid
by the patient, but by the state, to fol-
low the practice of the art Of medicine
with honesty and truth, things at pres
ent impossible on account of the in
sistence of patients to receive treat
ment when treatment is unnecessary,
and, especially inopportune, because a
doctor to-day is of no higher rank than
a tradesman, says the Interstate Medi-
cal Journal. In connection with these
timely remarks we would say that
we're lawyers employed and paid by
the state, instead of by their clients,
there would take place many crafty
ing changes for the state could pre-
vent the present attitude of law to the
science of medicine by making COM
pulSory an instructive course in it's
many ramifcations and could institute,
by these enlightened means, better
phase in all legal tits than obtains to-
day, when the irresistible plea made
by money creates so great bias for
a client that no other course would
seem to have any justification. Only
when this happier state from a modern
conception of socialism is evolved will
there be the proper rapproachement
between doctors and lawyers to effect
medico-legal society of far-reaching
benefits.

Sugar Beet History,

AT the last meeting of the
state board of agriculture held
last winter, Mr.. Sharer of the
Garden City plant delivered a
most interesting address on the
beet sugar industry part of which
is as follows:
:. Sugar beets were firstg rown
IN Germany ITO years ago. The
industry since then has been fos-
tered in various European coun-
trles by such men as Oliver De-
Serre, Marggraf, Archard, Napo-
leon, and Frederick the Great.
The first attempt to produce sug-
ar beetS in America was in Phil
adelphia in 1880. From this date
to 1873 attempts were made in
Massachusetts,, Wisconsin, Maine
and other places without success
The first successful factory was
erected at Alvarado, COL, in
1879. In 1897 we had but six
factories in he United States, but
dunng the ten years since then,
sixty factories have been built.
beet crops are the most prof
liable know n to agriculture, bu
require great care and intelligenc
in planting and cultivation. The
cost of raising and marketing
an acre of sugar beets in Kansas
is about 500 on an average, The
gross price from a naverage acre
of these beets is about SIS, b ut.
where especial care is given to
their cultivation an acre of
ground will under favorable con-
ditions yield from $3.50 to $751;"

The American league will not in

taken 1t will be to cut the engagements

We believe the present seas on Is too
long, and it is our idea TO start about
the first day of May and wind up on
the first of October. This would be the
ideal playing time. Spectators and
players would escape lot of disagree

not grow tired of the game before the
