LOCOMOTIVES
IN CANADA.

The first week in July locomotive
using oil as fuel hauled the regular
passenger train on the run between
Wellington and Alberni, the extension
of the island division of the Canadian
Pacific. Railway. formerly known as
the Esquimalt & Nanaimo railway.
The experiment was entirely sue
ccssful, the run of forty miles and re-
turn being made on time, the new
fuel working very satisfactorily. As
a result, II. f. Beaslev, the manager
of the road, states that as fast as the
same can be done all the locomotives
on the entire line Of the island divi-
sion. consisting of 11S miles, will be
equipped as oil-burners and the use
of coal for fuel discontinued. The
trains between Wellington and Alder
nj are now hauled today by oil-burn-
ing engines.
Several locomotives on the noun
tain section of the main line of the
Canadian Pacific railway are also be-
ing equipped as oil burners, but the
engines on the island division are the
first to make regular runs so equip
ped.
The management claim that while
so far not much expense is eliminated,
the comfort of passengers is no Ion
ger being harassed by smoke. and the
danger from timber fires will be large
ly removed Millions of fine timber
have every year been destroyed by
fires originating along the railway
line, and the company has been COM
PEELED in the past to maintain large
staff of f1re-fighters in the timber
areas to watch for fires which might
be started from the locomo-
tives.
1t may be added that nearly all the
steamers of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way coast fleet have already been
equipped as oil burners and are prov
ing very satisfactory. both as to econ
omy and power.-From Consul A. E.

Some theorists hold that the large in.

much exaggerated. A far more I'm

world the demand for various pro-
ducts has increased faster than sup
ply. Modern methods of business
have enabled producers to combine
and control production and prices
more effectually tina never before.
Trades unions have enabled labor to
do likewise, and shorter hours and
higher wages have materially added to
high prices and the increased cost of
living. The constant drift of popula-

Effects Of Alcohol.

A recent investigation showed

school children showed that out
of 10000 cases, nearly one-third
came from drinking parents.

dull in their school work; where
as, among the children Of alb

similarly deficient. A
physician recently declared that
his investigations had shown
that Of 600 children born Of 120
drinking mothers, 1886 died in in

were idiots, and four in every
hundred were epileptics. In ex-

Speed Of 0striches.

In selecting ostriches for men,
ageries or geological gardens the
swiftest are chosen, not because
it viii Unnecessary for them to
run in their new quarters, but
because swiftness is a good indi-
cation of health and robustness.
A buying agent visited a pen
of ostriches in Africa. At his
call two beautiful birds came up
to him. Being desirous of test
ing their speed, he arranged
with the keeper that they should
run a race. So he caiessed the
birds and showed them a hand
full of figs, of which they are
very fond.
The ostriches were held while
the visitor walked a certain dis
tance. AT a signal they were
set free and began to run for
the figs. They came bounding
along at a terrific rate, taking
twelve or fourteen feet at a
stride.
They ran neck and neck for
more than half the distance their
wings working like arms and
making a great sound. Present
ly one drew ahead, and, looking,
behind, as you may have noticed
a boy in a foot race do, to see
where his rival was, and, finding
him beaten, the winner slacken-
ed his pace and gently trot-
ted up for the prize of figs. -

The Republican Party to Blame.

A woman has hit the nail on the
head. Mrs. Harriet Sanitation
Blatch, speaking in New York
City said: Can nothing halt
the vulgar quarrel which goes on
day by day between our two
leading citizens? Have we for
gotten that the one raging COM
batant is an ex-president and
the other the chief executive of
these United States? | am not
so narrow-minded so uninformed
as to hold that men are incapable
of lasting friendship, that when
ambition steps in between them
them they will always turn and
rend each other, | do think the
love the sex has fora fight has
laid hold of ourmenandled them
to form a ring about the combat
ants instead Of stepping in and
ending a quarrel which has be-
come a national disgrace.
And are there no wise men
nay, just men, just men with
common sense in the republican
party? Surely the squabble is
but a family affair. Every tu
quoque reveals only a skeleton
in the republican cupboard.
What profits it when the ex-
says the chief executive was at a
certain cabinet meeting and the
latter says he wasn't when in
any case the responsibility each
is trying to shift to the 9th
er's shoulders is the responsible
ty of a republican cabinet?
"0ur president says the ex-
president wrote a letter and the
latter says he didn't. What mat
ters it so long as the policy each
tries to blame on the other was
a policyof a republican admins
tration? If there be any with
brains in these shouting hosts OF
hackers, can they not draw apart
and formulate q principal about
which the sane men of their
party can rally?,
@For the sake of the reputation
of men in friendship, for the
sake of realities in political life,
for the sake of our nations good
name, let this nauseous wal
of personalities cease!"-C M

en- up to speech making and gen.
eral organizing, but before it was
gone we had our three grades:
sixth, seventh and eighth, which

holidays, all classified and work
assigned for the next day. We
found ourselves in charge of thir-
ty-seven boys and girls that seem,
anxious to do that which will
make them somebody in the
world. We are always anxious
to offer inspiration to those whom
it will help, and no place on earth
is the field wider and more ripe
unto the harvest for good than.
in the schoolroom where boys
and girls are standing on the
threshold Of life looking which
way to go. We realize the re-
sponsibility that our position
places upon us, and with the aid
of the patrons of the school we
mean to do our duty as best as
we can We ask their support in
the sending the children every
day that is possible for them to
come. We miss those that or out
now on account of sickness, and
hope to have them again real soon,

Game Commissioner Returns.

ed from Denver, Colorado, where
he attended the National AS.

and the convention of American
Fishery Societies. Mr.. Ward
said he learned that in every
State where the fish and game
laws were similar to those in the
State that conditions have been
greatly improved and that it was
the general opinion that with
the enforcement of the Kentucky
laws great quantities of fish and
game could be produced in this
State.
During the next year a great
deal of work is going to be done
along educational lines by the
various States. Clubs for the
protection of fish and game will
be organized in every county in
the State and through these or
ganizations educational work will
be carried on.

In Defence Of Man.
By W. S. Potts.

BY w. 5. Potts.
There's society in our town
OF which you've heard about.
1t gives the woman all the praise,
And puts the men to route.
They have a-ineetlag every week. =
To som, ones home they go,
To discuss different methods
Ofhow 10 get the dough.
They say they're raising money
For the church upon the square,
But that's not all they're doing
While they're in session there.
Before they close they serve lunch
But to keep there tongues in line,
They talk about their neighbors
Aud have gay old time.
They take their magazines along
Aud catalogues OF fashion,
They never miss nifty style,
But take them in rotation.
They call the men old tight wads
And every thing that's bad;
When probably, dads last nickel
Paid for the lunch they had.
The young men with their best girl
VIII not play short you know,
Aud that's the way they figure
On getting most their dough.
They have anIice cream supper
Next one horseshow,
Tack bills on nevsry corner,
Beg every one to go.
OF course there's wife and kids to go
And that takes money too;
Poor old dads pocket book
Must pass the whole bunch through.
For this woman takes the praise
Twas the Ladies Aid that done-it.
Our town could not prosper tnit
Without the bnnch 10 run-it.
Butthey shall have all credit,
Not because they've wen.it;
But because they have the nerve to say
Twas the Ladies Aid that done.it.
The battle cry will work on earth
But beware, when death comes to-you.
For you may hear St, Peter say
Depart never knew-you.
Now Ladies Aid, please let us rest
We know you're still in town.
And when you need some ready cash
Don't drop your head and frown.
Just have an ice cream supper
Or else another show,
Aud dad and steady will take the bunch
md that all helps you know.
Some day you'll face the judgement
And think Of other ways,
| OF how the men have built'the church.
But still you'll want the praise.
