as a matter of course more proficient.

Only Five in Eight Years.
Just think of it," said Mr.. Mac
donald, during the past eight years
there were only five changes in the
list of inspectors! Why, / venture to
say that there have been from forty to
fifty changes in the offices of county
superintendent in our state in that
length of time. Then there is a min
lister of education and he is a member
of the legislature, as well as of the
premier's cabinet and he draws a sal
airy of $500 per year-more than is
paid the governor of the state of North
Dakota. The schools up there are
maintained by municipal taxes and
legislative grants, which in a measure
correspond to u state and county
taxes,
State Does the Work.
But this money is not appropriated
by the rural school board over the
province but is in the hands of the.
state, so that the rural board has no
manipulation of the funds. Another
thing that helps the schools up there
is the fact that money is appropriated
not according to the number of pupils
as in the state of North Dakota, but
is paid out according to the number of
teachers and the days taught. In
other words. If a district has three
teachers and the schools are opened
ten and a half months 1t will receive
more money than the district which
only keeps nine months and has only
two teachers.
Another Contrast.
81 know of school districts in North
Dakota where they have a large num-
Der of children between the ages of 6
and 20 years where only two teachers
are employed when there should be
three, but the district draws the money
from the state for the children, not for
the number of teachers, and these
schools too are open only six and a
half or seven months. =
In Canada they have a very high
respect for schools and scholarships,
and that is bound to help to a great
degree. The average of the appropri-
alton for the teacher is about $1.85 per
day for every day the school is open. /
was very glad to have the opportunity
of visiting the province and believe
that my trip which was made at my
own expense is a most profitable one.
II might say in conclusion that our
city schools are very much superior to
those of the city schools of the domin-
ion and this was a fact that was most
pleasing to me.

Curious Hare Hunt That Occurred at
the Battle of Wagram.
At certain stage of the battle of
Wagram, which took place in 1909,
the proceedings developed into great
hare hunt. There were 100000 hunt
srs, half French and half Austrians.
The plain was, it Is related, covered
with hares, which the long advance
OF the two armies had driven into a
narrow space Frightened by the
guns Of the French, they ran for their
lives and continued to run until they
reached the Austrian lines. There
they were none the less terrified and
came rushing back upon the French.
The soldiers were greatly interested
by the frantic movements of the hares
and could hardly be restrained from
making after them.
There occurred charge by the Aus
TRAN cavalry, which, Of course, took
no account of the hares. The horses
plunged In among them, and they
rushed In dismay among the ranks of
the French soldiers. who, confused by
30 strange an attack, began bayonet-
ing the hares. Other soldiers not i'm
wediately pressed by the onset of the
enemy caught up the trembling ami
mails In their hands.
There was that day great slaugh-
ter Of men and hares, and many q
shot destined for the enemy struck
one of these poor animals, who doubt
less believed that the great armies
had come there expressly to hunt
them instead Of to hunt each other

STORY OF A WILL.
Plans For q Gigantic Accumulation
That Were Frustrated.

pIans For a Gigantic Accumulation
That Were Frustrated.
In 1877 there died in London q
merchant named Peter Thelusson, Of
foreign extraction, who bequeathed
S100, 600 to his wife and children and
the rest Of his property, amounting to
upward of 100000, to trustees, with
instructions that the money was to be
invested and the interest suffered to
accumulate until his three sons and all
their sons should have died, when the
entire property was to be transferred
to his eldest great-grandson. In the
event Of no such heir being then alive
the accumulated property was to be
appropriated to the reduction of the
national debt.
Many calculations were made as to
the probable amount which the accu-
mutations were likely to reach, and ac-
cording to the lowest computation it
was believed that the sum would in
seventy years amount to $4,000, 900.
The family of the deceased disputed
the validity Of the will, and some years
were passed In litigation, the result be-
ing that the document was declared
valid, but an act of parliament was
passed In 1900 rendering null and void
all requests for the purposes of ac-
emulation for longer than twenty
years after the testator's death.
The last grandson Of Peter Thelusson
died In 1856. fifty-nine years after the
death Of the author Of the will. Pro-
longed litigation again ensued, and
when, In 1859, the house of lords de
cided that Charles Thelusson was the
heir the legal expenses and costs of
maintenance were found TO have swal-
lowed up the whole of the accumulat-
ed profits, leaving to the heir sum as
nearly as possible equal to the original
bequest--P earson's.

India has produced some of the finest
big game hunters in the world First
they kill deer then tigers, and after
that they climb into the hills after the
mountain sheep, which are the most
difficult Of all their kind to follow and
kill. But there is one ambition beyond
the mountain sheep. That is the snow
leopard. This beautiful creature. white
as the SHOWS 1t lives among, is rarely
found below height of 1900 feet
and is even there extremely rare. 1t is
both wild and savage, and the natives
have a superstitious fear of It's white

who succeeds in killing snow leopard
steps into the very first rank of big
