CITY THAT RULES ITS CARS.
Company in Vancouver Builds Lines When Told nnd Pays Big Wages.

Company fin Vancouver Builds Lines When Told and Pays Big Wages. We have. four kinds of streetcar tickets in Vancouver, all of them in cluding universal transfers" said E. W. Wilson of that city to Kansas City Times reporter. The most ex- pensive tickets sell on the cars at six for a quarter. Twenty-Five of these, the unlimited kind, may be had at the company's offices and a few other places for dollar. Then we have the o'clock in the morning and between 4:3O and 7:3O o'clock in the afternoon, except Sunday. Eight of these may be bought on the cars for quarter. In addition to these, all public school children have advantage of another kind of ticket, ten of which can be bought on the cars for quarter.
 "All these tickets have been in use since l went there twelve years ago, when Vancouver was a town of 20,000 Il don't know how long before. The city now has about 100000 inhabitants.

 The cars are about the size of those used in Kansas City and the service is more adequate to the re quirements of the city. There is large reserve equipment in the plant and, consequently, the cars are well heated and there is hardly ever a tie up. The company's arrangement with the town is such that when the coun- ell asks for a new line the company must build it ora rare ezpedient- abide by the decision of an unbiased board of arbitrators upon the need of the line.

A Popular FalIacx.

The generally accepted belief thal a person is useful in proportion as he is busy is controverted by a writer, who says: T have a dog that Is loaded up with heas. In the summer time, when the fieas are plenty, that Is the busiest dog I ever saw; when he isn't biting at the feas he's snap ping at the flies. He never has a min ute to spare, but when he is the busi- est he is the least account for practi- cal purposes. And there is a young fellow in my neighborhood who has a Waterbury watch, and he smokes ci- garettes. When he isn't winding his watch he is lighting a cigarette. He is a mighty busy young man, but he isn't worth two hoops in water bar rel"-Rule (Texas) Review

e EMBARRASSING POPULARITY E Eeeeeeeeeeseeeeeeeseeeeeee

An amusing result of the popularity ance advocate, is recorded in a recent book by Edward GIlliat NJ A.. entitled Heroes of Modern Crusades." Father Mathew had arrived in the dusk of the evening at the house of parish priest in a remote part of Galway. His host conducted him to a room on the ground floor, in which was large bay window without blind or curtain.
 No sooner was Father Mathew in bed than he turned his face to the wall and fell into a deep slumber. Awaking, as usual, at an early hour in the morning. he opened his eyes. repeated a prayer and turned toward the window What was his dismay to see a crowd of people of both sexes and all ages standing tiptoe in front of the big bay window, some even fattening their noses against the glass. all eager to get peep at his reverence.
 A more modest man than he did nol exist, and great was his embarrass- ment. He looked round furtively for a bell rope, but such luxury was not to be thought of in a priests house in Galway! He dare not even put leg out to stamp on the floor; he was fair ly in prison between the. blankets.
 The crowd was growing larger and the talk louder. He could hear bits, such as:
 Do ye see him, Mary, asthore?"
 Danny, agra, lave me take look an God bless ye, child,"
 "Oh, wisha, there's the blessed priest abed!"
 Nanny. there he lies. asnoozin! l can see his polli"
 Three mortal hours did the prisoner wish for deliverance- Then his host came tapping, afraid to disturb his guest too early, saw the boys at gaze, and sent Pat to clear them of the house front

man ran a mile, walked a mile, wheeled a barrow. trundled a hoop and hopped on one leg sll the same dis tance, in two minutes under the hour an epidemic of curious athletic feats sprang up among them, in the same way we have been bitten lately with the craze for marathons and London to- Brighton walks.
 Perhaps one of the most amazing of the 40's, named Coates, who backed himself to leap a hundred hurdles in six-mile race against a jockey on a hunter. The horse was beaten and Coates jumped his hundredth hurdle in the forty-second minute, the time limit being set at fifty.
 Mention of the Brighton walk recalls an extraordinary pedestrian perform ance of some Oxford undergraduates four years ago who walked from OK ford to Reading, a distance of twenty nine miles, at midnight, in evening dress and court slippers, after a day of heavy driving rain. Various mod est flyers were laid that they would not do the journey within eight hours. But the undergraduates won. with twenty minutes to spare, although they were thoroughly done up and terribly footsore when they reached Reading.
 The performance, however, is by no means so remarkable as that of Lord Kennedy, who years ago walked ou foot from Inverness to Black Hall, in Kincardinshire. and by striking straight across the Grampians arrived four hours before Sir Andrew Leith Hay, who took the coach road and who had laid wager of S12,50O that he would be first. The journey occupied thirty-three hours.
 No one is more fond of novel sport ing matches than the London coster- monger. Some years ago one backed himself to walk from Covent Garden to Hampstead Heath station and back on stilts, against an opponent carrying sack of potatoes. And he won.
 Some time before this a Chelsea fish hawker, carrying half hundred weight of fish on his head, ran seven miles along the Brentford road from Hyde Park corner in forty-fiye min utes, and an orange porter won a bet of 10 guineas by carrying hundred weight of oranges twenty times be- tween Botolph lane and Spitalfields market in one hour and twenty-five minutes less than the ten hours spe- cified in the wager.

It is now Q banker who takes his fling at the colleges, charging them with inefhciency in preparing young
 men for business life. In an address
 before the Massachusetts Teachsrs' As
 sociation, J. G. Cannon deplored the
 surprising lack" of business training
 available for college students to en-
 able them to meet the conditions of
 what Is essentially. a business na-
 tion," and declared that in this par ticular American colleges are one hundred years behind the times" Is there any side on which the colleges have been left unassailed? Their mor- als, the encouragement they give to extravaganza; football, fraternity life, the endeavor of institutions with old fashioned ideals to cling to classical curriculum. have been attacked. Col lege presidents themselves have de- nounced the failure of colleges to con form to modern demands" But the undertaking of the higher education takes a curious form in the indictment of its shortcomings in preparing young AucA TUT anu DTOhSIS OluCCb- 1S this the function of colleges? If 1t Is, the sooner campuses are established in Wall street and in the great industrial centers the better for the quality of in- struction. The necessity will then be indicated of including corporation presidents and chairmen of boards in the faculty. But in a larger sense the opinion that American colleges do not prepare for business careers is contro- verted by the testimony of competent foreign observers who have noted that business life in America, on account of the large element of college men represented in 1t, is now on a higher plane than in any other country. The colleges may not equip students for positions in offices or mills, but they do provide that broader foundation for future prominence in commercial af fairs the evidences of which are on every hand. It Is not without sig nificance that industry in America has attained its highest development at the very time when the participation of college-educated men in business is greatest.

strictly Neutral.

Among the humorous and human stories in Dr. T. L. PennelPs recent book, Among the Wild Tribes of the Afghan Frontier" Is one of a British officer in the Kurram valley who in- terrogated an Afridi with regard to what was then considered a probable conflict.
 Now tell me-" sadd the officer, If there were to be war-which God for bid-between Russia and England, what part would you and your people take? Whom would you side with?'
 Do you wish me to tell you what would please you or to tell you the real truth?" was the naive reply.

A new consultant dressmaker ad- vises that a woman have a dress for every mood When she is feeling de pressed, she should wear her gayest gown. The difficulty seems to be that when she got into her glad rag she would be so ungovernably exultant that 1t would be necessary immediate ly to change to something quiet, and thus the victim of moods would be forever changing.

son monotony should be appreciabiy diminished. Dull times in trade and business increase enlistmenta, and when prosperous seasons return to the country the enlisted men naturally long for the freedom and opportunities of civil life. Monotony. we should say. is the worst enemy of the soldier in times of peace, but 1t would seem as though the War Department might easily devise means to overcome this and make the enlisted man more con tented with his condition.

Boston has just raised, by popular subscription, a half million dollars for . new Young Mems Christian Associa- ton building. Among all the contri- buttons none is more interesting than that of woman too poor to give any thing in money. She supports herself by making little twine boxes, which she sells from door to door. To help the fund she sent seven of the boxes. with letter apologizing for the small ness of the gift, but expressing the hope that it might bring in dollar or two The story of the humble gift was told at a public meeting. and the boxes were put up at auction. They sold for one hundred and thirty-two dollars-a sum greater than that con- tributed by many well-to-do glvers.

HOW GOLD LEAF IS MADE.
Cast in IngOts, FIattened, AnneaIed, Cut and Beaten with Hammers.

Cast in IngOts, FIattened, AnneaIed
 Cut and Beaten with Hammers.
 Gold leaf, of which such large uuan, titles are used by the picture-frame makers. as we'll as by other trades, ia made as follows, says the Canadian Painter and Decorator:
 An alloy of the desired color having been formed, the gold is melted in a crucible at a temperature well above the fusion point It is then cast into an ingot and fiattened by rolling be. tween pair of powerful steel rollers into ribbon one and a half inches wide and ten feet in length to the ounce
 After being hattened it is annealed and cut into pieces of about six and a half grains each and placed between the leaves of "cutch," which is about half an inch thick and three and z half inches square. containing about 1S0 leaves of tough paper manufactur- ed for the purpose. This is beaten on for about twenty minutes with a sev- enteen-pound hammer, by which the gold is spread to the size of the "cutch." Each leaf is then taken out and cut in four pieces.
 These are put between. the leaves of a "shoder," four and a half inches thick, containing about 720 skins which have been worn out in the mold" or finishing process described later. The shoder requires about two hours beating with nine-pound ham, mer. Each leaf is again cut in four pieces and placed between the leaves of mold" composed of about $50 of the finest gold beaters' skins, five inch es square and three-quarters of an inch thick, the contents of one shoder fill- ing three molds.
 The material has now reached the last and most difficult stage of the pro cess. During the first hour the ham, mer Is allowed to fall principally on the center of the mold. This causes gaping cracks upon the edges of the leaves, the sides of which rapidly coal esce without leaving any trace of the union after being beaten upon- At the second hour, when the gold is about the 150,OO0th part of an inch in thickness, 1t for the first time permits the transmission of light. If the gold is pure, or but slightly alloyed, green rays pass through; when highly al loved with silver violet rays appear.
 As rule about four hours beating with a seven-pound hammer is requir- ed. A single ounce of gold will at this stage trim to about 1,200 leaves three and a quarter inches square. The fin ished leaves are taken out of the mold and the rough edges trimmed off by slips of rattan fixed in parallel grooves of an instrument called a wagon, the leaf being laid upon leather cushion for that purpose.
 The leaves are placed in books" ca pable of holding twenty-five leaves each. which have been rubbed over with red ocher to prevent the gold from clinging to the paper. The fine gold beaters' skin Is the outer coat of the caecum or blind gut of the OK spe' cially prepared.

CURIOUS SPORTING CONTESTS.

Man Against Horse in a HurdI.
 Race-Many Other odd Feats.
 A match which took place at Princes few weeks ago between A. R. Hamil ton and Capt. R. K. Price was no mean test of skill and endurance. Lon. don Tlt-Bits says. The conditions were that set of tennis, a game of rackets and a game of squash rackets should be played consecutively. going from one court to the other. Capt Price, who gave his opponent points. just winning by three points.
 This, however, is but one Of the many curious sporting contests which have taken place of late years. Two years ago a London athlete starting from just above Hammersmith bridge rode a mile, then swan a mile and landing at Putney, ran a mile on the promenade. Following this he did a mile walk and concluded with mile cycle ride-all within a hour.
 This feat reminds one of that ac- complished by another London athlete few years ago. While staying at Hampton Wick, near Kingston on Thames, he walked quarter of a mile, rode horse for a quarter of a mile. swam a quarter of a mile, ran a quar- ter of a mile, rode a bicycle for a quarter of a mile and finished up by rowing a boat for a quarter of a mile all in the space of 1S9 minutes 82 2-5 seconds.

For the fiscal year on which the ad- iutant general of the army has recent Iy made report the number of deser- lions is placed at the astonishing fig ure of 4,993, or 4.97 per cent of the entire enlisted force. This is an in- crease of -3S per cent over the deser- lions of the year before. As to the causes of this remarkable defection from the ranks, Adjutant General Aims worth assigns the abolition of the canteen, the monotony of garrison life. the increased amount of work and study demanded Of the soldier, and the ease with which remunerative employ ment can be obaailed in civil life at the present time. All of these causes have been attributed before to army Assertions, and undoubtedly each con tributes to the dissatisfaction o1 the enlisted private. The restoration of the canteen would meet with strong opposition, and it is doubtful if efforts In that direction would succeed at the present time. One would think that the additional work and study com plained of would destroy the monotony of garrison life.
