not the least attractive phase of his

there have been thousands OF hands
which have pushed me up from be-

hands. He does not forget from
whence comes his authority and his
commission. There have been times
when one has feared-times when his
light anchorage seemed in danger or
yielding to the impact of opportun-

people. that loyalty to the inspiration
of the mountains and the simple ira

Fatal French Blank Cartridge.


A strange and sad accident occurred
In the course of drill maneuvers at
MontreuilsousB Bois, in the suburbs OF
Paris, where soldier was killed by
blank cartridge discharged at him by
a fellow soldier. A company OF the
Thirty-first regiment was taken out to
Montreuil for maneuvers. At three
o'clock In the afternoon the lieuten-
ant In command decided to order
sham attack on fors, which his sol
diers were to storm. Some OF the sol
diers were posted as sentries, and the
others were told that in storming the
imaginary fort they we're to try spe-
cially to take the sentries prisoners,
but formal order was given to the
soldiers that they were not to load
their rifles. In spite OF this shot
was suddenly heard, and q soldier
fell with groan. He was young re-
cruit called Laurent, and near him
stood another soldier who had acted
as sentry and was completely dunn
founded by what had happened. Either
he did not know that there was a
cartridge in the weapon or he fired
thinking that 1t was only part OF the
sham fighting Laurent was taken to
the hospital at Begin, and soon after
ward expired He had been killed by
the packing of the blank cartridge.
which, being fired within only yard
or two of him, acted like bullet. The
unfortunate soldier was the eldest son
of a widow, who has three smaller
children to bring up--Paris Core

WATER TOYS OF THE EAST
Remarkably Ingenious Are Playthings
Provided for the Children of
the Orient.

Europe and America turn out, for
the edification of their children, many
ingenious toys, but the Occidental
youngsters have nothing to compare
with the strange expanding water-toysl
with which the children of the far east
have for centuries amused themselves.
These are placed in small wooden
boxes similar to the little paint boxes
so often seen in our W country.
They have the appearance OF soiled
shavings, broken matches and dilapi-
dated toothpicks, but when thrown
into the water the ingenious toys at
once exhibit properties that show
them to be considerably more han
mere bits of stick. The wood Of these
toys has been Kindred. and imme-
diatel, it touches the water it begins
to absorb the water and to- expand
almost indefinitely. AS it increases
in size it separates and suddenly
opens, becoming q very pretty toy.
One stick will change into a flower
pot containing, it may be, a rose bush
in full bloom. Another becomes an
obese mandarin carrying AN umbrel-
la. Still another will take the form
of a sea serpent, very ferocious in it's
tiny dimensions. Then, too, there are
toys which show as whales, tigers,
h~crocodiles, etc. The figures are col
ored and present a b~ewildering va
riety in design and treatement. Their
manufacture is a trade secret, kept
inviolate by the guild that turns them
out by the thousands.
For older children there are provid-
ed larger and even more artistic fig
ures, consisting Of historical charac-
ters-rulers, poets and soldiers-and
dWarfed trees and tiny houses, whose
doors and windows are full of in
mates, are also among this class. The
more ordinary kind cost a mere song
but the finer toys are quite expensive.

Mothers and MRaby Talk

A kindergarten teacher, in speaking
of the attack made IN baby talk" by
one Of the Tufts college instructors,
said: "Of course, we all know that
baby talk is q poor substitute for the
real language, but we know also that
it is the result Of first effort. 1t will
always exist, and thank heaven for
it! The people who hate it are those
who are too matter-of-fact to be moth
erly. No mother teaches her baby
baby talk any more than she teaches
it to crawl and to adopt the Tufts
method. And to curb the lisping pratt
tie of the baby, which is usually intel
ligible to the mother only, would be
like forcing the youngster to stand
when it can only creep. To mothers
and women who know children the
effort to check baby talk is only an
other of the questionable steps toward
making children 'g~rown-ups.'"

NOT EASY TO SEE IcEBERGs
Deadly Menaces to Navigation Said to
Be Almost Invisible at
Night.

Among laymen there is genuine sur
prise that IN a clear night-dark
though it was-a great ship could plow
into the heart of an iceberg before
discovering its presence. To the nau-
teal mind it is entirely plausible.
At about twenty-five knots Of speed,
he Titanic was covered nearly a stat
ute mile and n third every three
minutes, and it takes time for a ship
900 feet in length and drawing nearly
forty feet of water to Swing" on it's
course line. 1t takes time to stop 50,-
900 tons Of dead weight when moving
at that rate of speed.
In daytime, even, unless the sun is
shining brightly against it's sides, a
berg is not the glazing sheetlike thing
that many seem to think it is On q
cloudy day they show distinctly gray
and dark, while on a moonless, cloudy
night they only, at the best, will show
is blackness, more pronounced, against
that other blackened screen where
murky cloud and murky waters meet.
The newest, whitest, snowiest sails
that ever drove a racing yacht to vic
tory show as black as blacklist night
against a somber midnight sky. In
other words, they are invisible a short
way off, as was the berg whose jagged
and submerged extensions tore the

Death ofa Respected Citizen.

IKFWNE
Mr.. Edward Fallon, another oil
the pioneers of Scotland and q
highly respected citizen, passed
away at 8 :55 p. m. on Tuesday, at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. w.
a.. Cobb. He had been failing in
health for several months but was
able to come down town until a
few days before his death. SUM-
day morning his heart began to
give him serious trouble, and his
two sons, Duncan and Edward G.,
we're notified at Chicago. Duncan
arrived Monday evening and Ed.
got here Tuesday about two o'clock.
Shortly before the end came he
aroused from his stupor and recog-
nized his three children by his
bedside, and as tho this we're the
last pleasure that he sought he
again sank into a sleep and passed
away.
Mr.. Fallon was born at Mark
ham, Ont, in 1886, being rs years
of age at the time of his death.
He was married ifty.four years
ago to Miss Isabella Carswell, and
to them seven children we're born,
three of whom survive, Duncan
and Edward of Chicago and Mrs.
W. A. Cobb of Scotland. There
was another son, Thomas, who
when last heard from was in Den
yer, Colo, but whom they have
not heard from for about sixteen
years and he may still be living.
Mrs. Fallon died about three years
ago and since that time he has
made his home with his daughter,
where every care has been taken to
N AXE his last years pleasant.
He moved from Ontario to Scot
land in 1881 and engaged in tile
furniture business which be fol
lowed for a number of years. After
selling that business he was a con-
ira actor and builder for severn
years until his health failed, aud
for some time thereafter he ran 81
confectionery store. The last build
ing of Importance which he cor
structed was the Masonic block.
He was a man in whom every
body had confidence, honest and
upright in all his dealings, and
was possessed Of n wonderful ener.
gy which in his later Years, in
spite of the protests Of his family.
cansed him to remain in active
pursuits until within three days of
his death.
He Joined the Masonic order 80
years ago in southampton, Ont
and the funeral services, which
were conducted at the family resi-
denre this morning ut 10 n'clocl,
were under tie din'otion Of that
order, The sermon h.lrg preached
by Rev. a, F. Ploetz, ras.or Of the

break. The hounds start out a, soon az
they have finished their breakfast. They
hunt until certain hour, perhaps until
luncheon time, and if they are able to dis
cover the hares by that time they are con-
sidered to be the winners of the day. The
time at which the hunt shall be over is
settled before the hounds start out Field
glasses are permitted for the purpose of
finding the hares and the hounds are con-
sidered to have won if even through the
field glasses they have been able to iden-
tify the hares. OF course it is necessary
to put some limits on the space which
the hares shall cover. Bounds are set
very definitely and all taking part are
given to understand what they are. The
hares may travel singly or in a group, &C.
cording to their taste Usually they pre-
fer to go together. as that is more fun.
1t is always a good plan when going on
mountain scouting expedition to take
along luncheon and a drinking cup, as
the hares may elude pursuit for miles and
then be discovered too late to get back to
camp or to the boarding ho1se for the
midday meal. 1t is extremely pleasant
in these circumstances to be able to un-
tasten ones knapsack on the edge of
mountain stream and settle down for
luncheon and a rest Pursuers and pur-
sued often join pleasantly together in
this sylvan banquet, which is all the more
welcome because of the mornings ex-
ertions.
