FIRST THINGS

The first transeontinental railway in Canada, the Canadian Pacific. was completed twenty-seven years ago to- day, when the last spike was driven at FarweH British Columbia. This completed a continuous line, 3,O25 miles long from Quebec to Port Moody on the Pacific Ocean. The first contract for the great project was let in 1874. It was given a gov ernrnent subsidy of 25.0O0,000 and 25, 5,0OO;000 acres of land. The total cost of the original road was over O,OOO,OOo.
 The big bridge across the Missis- sippf at Quincy, H.. was first thrown open for traffic forty-four years ago today. The total length of the strue ture, of the drawbridge type, was 8. ! TAI feet.

..Wa,at is a buIldog?" is a question
 that is now agitating the dog fanciers
 of both America and England. At the
 show in New York this week of the
 Bulldog Club of America the oreeUefS

 latter orsanization raised the questlon at a session of members held recently
 in connection with bulldog show at
 Leeds, England. and 1t was decDdeo Io
 draw IT'D a standard description of the
 n11res bred bulldog. The Bulldog Club
 of France and the Austrian clubs have
 agreed to accept the ruling or bne
 British authorities and it is likely
 also fo be adopted by fanciers on this side of the water. Bulldog 1udglns has for years been an uncerra1n rhihS, owing to the difference or optIlioir .e e to the qualities that should be pos
 ses.sed by a welI-regulated bulldog. 1t is a fact known to all fanciers Cnat the bulldog has undergone sIea1 change in character and disposition Tn his original state, the canine or this popular breed was purely sPohl- ing animal. He gained hls name rom rom the fact that in the early days ne was bred for the pastime of bullbaft1ng, a sport which happily is rfo longer pop u1ar The bull was also 1gnuer or ,,aT,nvvn and battles to the death be- tween bulldogs delighted the hearts Of o11r ancestors These uses naturally Save tlne animal the qualities of feroc- ftv and savage courage. With the passing of dogfighting as a sport, the bulldog has gradually changed, until today he has a most affectiOnate dis position. although he has lost none of his former courage. Nearly all dog 1overs agree that the bulldog is the most individ lua1istic of ca-nines, and as temporamental as a prirrla donna 1 The breed exhibits many more points of characteristic requisites than any other, and for this reason the perfect animal combining all points of ex- cellenoe, is practically unknown The
 great variety of points also makes the formulation of a, standard code will be of great help to the arbiters at bench shows.

The arts of jugglery were ss hos been proved by learned writers, of high antiquity. The Hirpini, who lived uesr Rome, jumped through burning coals, women in early times were accusromed to walk over burning coa1s in Cappa- docia. and the exhibition of balls and cups is often mentioned in the works of the ancients. It was as far back as the third century that one Fermus, or Firnius, who endeeavOred to make himself emperor in Egypt, suffered smith to forge iron on an anvil placed on his breast, and rope dancers with balancing poles are mentioned by Pc tronius and others, while she various feats of horsemansllip exhibited in eur circuses passed in the 1inebe9SSh cen tury, from Egypt to the ByzaDA4ne court and thence over all Europe.
