SAYING MASS ON A PIRATE SHIP
"The English in the West lndies," by
 James Anthony Froude.

Labat relates the following story of Daniel. On some expedition, when he was not so fortunate as to have Q priest on board, he was in want of provisions. Being an outlaw, he could not furnish himself in an open port. One night he put in at the harbor of a small island called Los Santos. not far from Dominica, where only a few fam lilies resided, He sent a boat on shore in the darkness, took the priest and two or three of the chief inhabitants from their beds, and carried them on board ds hostages, and then under pretence of compulsiOn requisitioned the island to send him what he want ed The priest and his companion were treated meanwhile as guests of dis tinction. No violence was necessary, for all parties understood one another. While the stores were being collected Daniel suggested that there was good opportunity for his crew to hear mass, and the priest of Los Santos agreed to say It for them. The sacred yes seIs were sent for from the church on shore An awning was rigged over the forecastle and an altar set up under it.
 
 cannon answered the purpose of music. Broadsides were fired at the first sen tence at the exaudiat, at the elevation, at the benediction, and a fifth at the prayer for the king. The service was wound up by a vive le Roi.
 A single small accident only had dis turbed the ceremony. One of the pirates, at the elevation, being of profane mind made an indecent pes ture Daniel rebuked him and, as the offense was repeated drew pistol and blew the mans brains out, saying he would q the same to anyone who was disrespectful to the Holy Sacrament. The priest, being a little startled. Daniel begged him not to be alarmed; he was only chastizing rascal to teach him his duty. At any rate, as Labat observed, he had effectually pre- vented the rascal from doing anything of the kind again. Mass being over, the boGy was thrown overheard, and priest and congregation went their several ways.

MOTION PICTURES AT HOME
Everyone Soon May Have Life
 Like Family Album.

T want to have baby's picture taken" said Mrs. Nineteen Fifteen entering a photographers studio.
 Motion picture or stationery madam?"
 "Oh. motion picture, of course. There's nothing to those old fash toned stationary pictures. want twenty feet of the film the regula tion size to fit the machines used in all the homes"
 Whereupon the baby is put upon the floor to kick and scramble and crawl and laugh for the benefit of the camera few nights later the family and friends sat in the babys home and exclaimed, "Oh. How darl- ing, Look at the little dear laugh" "Oh, she's trying t6 get her toe in her mouth,' It's just more natural than life!" while the proud mother turns the crank of the machine
 The picture was so good that it was decided to have grandpa sit for picture in that old familiar pose, smoking his pipe and reading the pa per with little Robert on his lap. How they regret that the motion photograph idea didn't come in be- fore grandmother died. so they could have had picture of grandpa wind ing the yarn for her to knit!
 In Mrs. Nineteen Fifteen's album one does not find pictures. Instead there are films labeled, Esther" Mother Robert and the dog" Robert and the pony" Mother and father" a'td sq on. Every member of the family is preserved in motion doing something characteristic The improved camera is no more trouble to operate than a magic lantern and not much more expensive.

CANADIAN FARMER AND CANAL.

Farmers of western Canada are looking forward to the completion of the Panama canal when they will be able to ship their produce to Van ceuver and thence by way of the canal to the world markets instead of clear across the continent The province of Alberta and a part of Saskatchewan, as well as the Pacific coast region, will ship westward on completion of the canal The east ern portion of Saskatchewan, Mani toba and the eastern part of Canada will naturally continue to ship through Atlantic ports
 At present the Alberta farmer saves three cents a bushel by ship ping his grain across the continent to the Atlantic seaboard To ship to Vancouver costs him IA cents a bushel. From Vancouver to Liver pool he pays IS cents more. That makes a total of 32 cents from AL berta to Liverpool for freight alone There being no grain elevators at Vancouver, the wheat has to be sacked for shipment, which process adds six cents more, making in all 3S cents.
 With the opening of the canal and the completion of great grain elevat- ors at tidewater on the Pacific side, the grain will flow this way and ships laden from western Canada will put into Los Angeles for repairs or to lay in stores before passing through the Panama canal on their way to Liverpool

PLAN THAT HAS PROVED GREAT
SUCCESS IN ENGLAND.
Applicants for Position Undergo Ex
animation, With Position or Prize
for the Victor.

What chance would you have Of Sc
curing a business position if you had
to win it In a competitive examination
with perhaps 100 other applicants?
1t is unique plan and to the
writer's knowledge has never been
tried by an American firm. But it
has been tested in Europe and found
to be a success.
A large publishing firm in London
inaugurated the idea in filing va
cancy in it's office. The company re-
quired a well trained man or woman
for certain position of considerable
responsibility, and the directors de-
cided to fill the place by competitive
examination in the ordinary business
knowledge which a competent person
ought to possess. The salary to be
paid at first was announced to the
contestants as approximately $1,000 a
year and the winner was to have the
option OF declining the position and
accepting $500 in cash in lieu of it,
the company having the right, in that
event, to choose any Of the other COM
petitors.
The examination attracted the at
tention of a large number Of ambi-
tious young men and women and was
a complete success in the opinion of
the firm. 1t meant more than prize
to the victor. 1t was the stepping
stone to a career.
The idea was presented to several
prominent Chicago business men. who
we're asked for opinions relative to its
successful operation in this country.
Practically all agreed that the plan Is
an excellent one. but they were doubt
full as to whether 1t could be carried
out over here. where business condi-
lions are so different from those Of
Europe. They pointed out that while
the average employer is often COM
PEELED to hire inefficient help and dis
cover that fact later the rush OF bust
ness in the United States is so great
that time could not be spared to con-
duct a competitive examination. One
merchant declared that the plan Is an
excellent Illustration of the difference |
between the slow, easygoing business
methods of Europe and the rush and |
hustle that prevails here.
