The female university students have struck work, and most of the high schools throughout the country are now boycotted by students
 The central authorities have not vet de- eided what line to take. They are de- sirous of keeping the educational estab lishments open, if necessary even re- storing coercive measures for the pur- pose. as otherwise the large percentage of industrious students, who abhor the strike would be deprived of one years studies But the government is rincer- tain how far the agitation is political, and is waiting for developments. On- cial announcements however, may be published at any moment. In various uni versity cities students, male and female. have been arrested.

325,ooo IN ONE YEAR
THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SURPRISES ALL RECORD.

The returns recently issued by the
Canadian immigration Branch shows
that upwards of 1000 persons ar
rived in Canada during the past
twelve months, declaring their inten-
ton Of becoming settlers in that coun-
try. OF this number about 100000
were from the United States, the bal
ance being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. 1t will thus be seen
that the sturdy farming clement that
has gone forward from the United
States is being splendidly supplement-
ed by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure of
Canadian wheat, oats. barley and fax
grown on the rich prairie of Western
Canada is constantly attracting more
and more, and year by year the tide
of immigrants to the Western Canada
plains increases; there is no ebb to
this tide The Canadian authorities
are not surprised at the number from
the United States being as large as it
is but they did not look for so large an
immigration from the old countries.
Still, they will not be found unpre-
pared. Reception halls are in readi-
ness at all important points in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, sur
veyors were at work during the past
season opening up new districts on
which to place those seeking free
homesteads of 160 acres each, rail-
ways have been projecting laterals
from their main lines, and every pro-
vision has been taken to accommo-
date the newcomer. A recent dis
patch from Antwerp reads: THE d.
version Of European emigration from
the United States to Canada is said
to be seriously affecting the Atlantic
steamship lines. The Red Star today
gives up to the America-Canada line
two of the best special emigrant
steamers afloat, the Gothland and the
Samlaad. These vessels heretofore
in the Antwerp-New York service are
Canadian ports"
On. the date of the above dispatch
word came to the immigration branch
that the vanguard Of the 1911 army
of United States settlers reached Win
nipeg at 1870 o'clock this morning.
There was a solid train load of eff
fects comprising Al carloads and two
colonist sleepers attached TO the train,
which contained the members of Is
families. Every man Jack in the
party is skilled farmer, and all have
come north prepared to go right on
the land, which was purchased last
year. They are equipped with every
thing that experience has shown is
necessary to make a start on virgin
prairie. In addition to machinery and
household effects there were a large
number of horses and cattle. Some OF
the farmers had also brought along
gas tractors, which will be put right
to work on ground breaking"
One of the agents of the Canadian
government advises that it would ap
pear as if each month of the present
year would show large increase ovel

those of his womenfolk, may prove OF
gruesome use "If the crocodile will
live at peace with him, the Dyak has

ever, the crocodile breaks the truce
and kills someone. then the Dyaks set
to work to find the culprit. and keep
on catching and killing crocodiles un-
til they find hi1l. The Dyaks gener-
ally wear brass ornaments, and by
cutting open dead crocodile they
can easily find out if he is the crea-
ture they wish to punish. Sometimes
as many as ten crocodiles are killed
before they manage to destroy the
animal they want"-which seems
rough on the innocent.
Let it be noted, also, that fashion
does not stop at clothes and orna-
ments The teeth are often black
ened, as black teeth are considered
sign of beauty The front teeth
are also frequently filed to a point,
and this gives their face curious

curious way of treating the front
teeth is to drill a hole in the middle
of each tooth, and fix in it brass

operation was in progress. The man
lay down with piece of soft wood
between his teeth, and the dentist
bored a hole in one of his front teeth
| The next thing was to insert
the end of pointed brass wire,
which was then filed off, leaving a
short piece in the tooth; small ham,
mer was used to fix this in tightly,
and. lastly, a little more filing was
done to smooth the surface of the
brass stud. I am told the process is
so painful that it is not often man
can bear to have more than one or
two teeth operated on at time"
