Importance of Details,

Spare no pains in collecting details
before you generalize; it is only when
details are generalized that a truth is
grasped. The tendency to generalize
is universal with all men who achieve
great success, whether in art liter
ature, or action. The habit of gener-
alizing, though at first gained with
care and caution, secures by practice
a comprehensiveness of judgment, and
a promptitude of decision which seem
to crowd like the intuitions of
genius. And. indeed. nothing more
distinguishes the man of genius from
the mere man of talent than the facul-
ty of generalizing the various details.
each of which demands the aptitude
of a special talent. but all Of which
can only be gathered into a single
whole by the grasp of mind which
may have no special aptitude for any.

Enormous Herds of Deer.

While making long expedition
through the northern Canadian will.
derness Inspector Pelletier saw many
strange sights. Probably the most
picturesque part of the journey was
the passage across Artillery lake to
the Height of Land. Inspector Pelle'
ttier has this to say on the event:
Aided by the sails we were making
good time, but were delayed by large
numbers of deer crossing at various
points. We must have seen between
twenty and forty thousand. The hills
on both shores were covered with
them and at dozen or more places
where the lake was from half to one
mile wide solid columns of deer fouz
or five abreast were swimming across
and so closely that We did not like to
venture through them for fear of get
ting into some mix-up." .

of respect for hot irons. I'd rather
be shot with a pistol, chawed by q

than be target for hot iron. 1t is
the Chinaman's handiest weapon and
his aim is deadly. A cold iron is bad
enough, but a hot one is fierce. II
not only stuns, it burns and burns
deep. Most Chinks know that crooks

Morals.

I should like to aboli.h morals,
which have come to be something en-
tirely negatives: do not steal. etc.
A man who would be moral after tnat
fashion would be the most colorless,
the saddest, the least beautiful OF De-
ings. The most moral man would be
cold and lifeless. The moral man Is
the noble man, who, putting ASIDE
trifling and vulgar rules, exhales beau
tiful thoughts through all his pores
The most important thing is that ne
elevates his thoughts and rises above
the pale horizon which bounds the vul-
gar life. that he is noble and beautlfui
in mind The immoral is ne who sees
only the end. who. though faithful per-
haps in the performance of his lesser
duties, has neither inspiration nor
love.-Ernest Renan.

: Defended Their Convent

A remarkable conflict has taken
place at the convent at Bocairente,
Spain, between the nuns and a band
of robbers who wanted the gold and
silver ornaments, tapestries and paint
ings.' The nuns, however, received
timely warning, and barricaded the
windows and the doors. They also
armed themselves with old fowling.
pieces and pistols, and made a cour-
ageous, resistance, keeping the rob-
bers at bay. A force of Civil Guards
reached the convent just as the bri-
gands had managed to force one of
the back doors. The Guards fred a
volley, killing two and wounding
three. whereupon the remainder fed.
Three of the nuns were injured.

TELEGRAPH Poles from Russia.

There was a time when the needs
of the British postoffice in the way
of poles to support the overhead tele-
graphs of the United Kingdom were
met solely from Norway. But to-day
Norway's tallest pines are not forth
coming in sufficient numbers to meet
the demands of the expanding serv.
ice-demands averaging $4,000 poles
per annum Sweden was duly laid
under contribution, and now Russia
has become valuable source of sup
ply. 1T was in 1905 that this source
was opened up by the present comp
troller of stores, who visited Russia
for the purpose. The poles come not
only from the forests that feed the
Baltic ports. but from those In the
White sea hinterland.

Uses Of Inland Waters.

Inland waters may be put to many
uses; sometimes they are utilized as
sewage outlets for great cities, some
times they are converted into CONNER
cial highways. or they may become
restricted because Of the reclamation
of fertile bottom lands. All these may
be good and necessary developments,
says Science. or any one of them may
be obviously best under the circum-
stances; but. in promoting any such
schemes. due regard should always be
paid to the importance and promise
of natural waters as a perpetual
source of cheap and healthful food for
the people of the country.
