It Is a peculiar fact that about the
early life of the discoverer OF the St
Lawrence River, Jacques Cartier, so lit
tie is known. He was born in 1891, but
this great French navigator is first heard
of IN 1884. when, on the 10th of April. ne
started from ST. Malo in command of an
expedition consisting of two ships and
sixty-one men to look for a northwest
passage to the East.
This is what most of the early discov-
erers and explorers were trying to find.
They were not farseeing enough to know
that this great, savage country that
blocked their way to India was some day
to be one OF the richest and greatest lands
in the world. So when the French trade
to Brazil, in South America, was stopped
Cartier set out in 1884 to find a new way
to the mystic East, with its fabulous
wealth.
He reached Newfoundland on May 10.
and at once entered the Strait Of Belle
Isle, then called the Bay of Castles oy
the fishermen. But the land WIS found
to be barren and rocky. So Cartier sailed
away from there on June Is and cruised
down the west coast of Newfoundland
and up the coast of New Brunswick He
anchored for ten days in Gaspe Harbor.
where he made friends with some Huron
Iroquois Indians from Quebec. Two of
these he carried away with him. At last
however. he had to give up his search for
a northwest passage that year and sail
back to France.
But he didn't give up this idea. In
May, ISIS, he set sail again, this time with
three ships. On the 9th of August he
dropped anchor in a great gulf. to which
the next day he gave the name OF st.
Lawrence. About a month later ne
reached the mouth of the Saguenay. The
two Indians whom he had taken 20 France

the matter Of proposed discontinuance
of iree delivery in Washington, will be
argued befor" the Interstate Commerce
Commission this morning at 10 o'clock by

The new tariffs flied with the Interstate
Commerce Commission by the Pennsylva-

ance OF free delivery of freight from East

to the business men OF Washington, and
its discontinuance will result in what
the members Of the Retail Merchants
Association feel to be unjust and dis
criminatory rate legislation. Free deliv-
cry is now employed in Baltimore, and its
operation in that city and discontinuance
here in Washington will work to the dis
tinct disadvantage of the merchants Of

This was great news to the navigator,
and he resolved to find this kingdom. In
longboats he set of up the ST. Lawrence
River. On October he came upon the
Huron-Iroquois village OF Hochelaga.
This village was situated exactly where
the city of Montreal now stands.
Cartier found that he couldn't go up
the river any farther because the swift
Lachine Rapids were in his way. He
climbed to the top of Mount Royal, which
still bears the name he gave 1t. and saw
the 81. Lawrence and the Ottawa stretch
ing away to the west. When he got back
to where he had left his vessels he seized
the chief and eleven of the head men Of
the village and carried them away with
him, in order TO give the King OF France
accurate information about this great.

not seen.

MEASURE TO PREVENT
SLAUGHTER OF CATTLE
Chamber Of Commerce Committee to
Confer with Secretary Of Agri-
culture Houston.

Advocating a law that viii prohibit
the killing of cattle until they have
reached a certain age, because cattle
are becoming scarce and probably may
be extinct. a committee recently ap-
pointed by the Chamber OF Commerce
Will confer with Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Houston.
After a lengthy Investigation the COM
mittee, which is headed by p. P. Moran.
has decided that within the next ten
years children will have no shoes to
wear. beef win sell at between 40 and
80 cents pound. milk will be at least
10 cents quart, and price of butter will
soar to the sky. All this is laid to the
killing Of cattle without giving them
chance to breed. The committee was ap-
pointed for the express purpose of in
vestigating the high cost of cattle, fol-
lowing complaints of farmers In this
vicinity
The only way in which to stop this,
says the committee, Is to have passed a
law which will prohibit the killing of
cattle until a fxed age, which should
be three years In the case of steers and
six years for cows Argentina has al
the committee, and It is expected that
Great Britain and Ireland will pass
similar laws within the near future.
The committee points out that there
is no necessity for the high price of
cattle, excepting the fact that too many
are being sold for veal, as the cost of
feeding and maintaining cattle is no
higher now than at previous periods.
stop eating veal, that In the years to
come you may have shoes to wear and
be able to buy, milk beef. and butter"
advises the committee.
Arrangements are now being made for
the conference with the Secretary of
Agriculture. It is expected that he viii

row. After the conference the commit
tee will make its report to the Chamber

not tell the names OF the Senators from
their own State, and the number of ques-
tons upon which their minds were blank
was lutte distressing to the faculty, for
the pupils were from the high school as
well as the elementary grades.
One thing. however, they could answer
without a falter-the class that had won

school

showing, il is true; anG IL Is right i'm
portant for young folk and all kinds of
folk to grow versatile as they travel
along and to know something about the
activities of the greater minds Of the
world. But. after all. one is disposed to
feel very lenient with pupils, because
they are so busy absorbing scholastic
knowledge that there is not a great deal
of TIME for general reading, for that and
for the recreation which is their greatest
need.

BY FRANCES sHAFFER.

without word of warning or a
chance for a moments preparation a
serious body of inquisitors dropped in
upon a select school in Philadelphia
one fine morning awhile ago andiput a
lot of test questions to the pupils, to
determine Just how much or how little
they knew Of history IN the making.
rshe members OF the faculty or tnat
school, as IL others. encourage careful
reading OF the newspapers ana stoutIy
favor all other agencies that keep young
folk in touch with the happenings or
the day. Ard so, wnen the test dropped
down upon them, the pupils ought to
have been able to proclaim themselves
well-informed embryo citizens. But
alas ard. alas, they were not, and the
girls were worse than the boys.
But, gIancing over few of the 100
questions submitted, one wonders how
many men and women would have
emerged from the test with colors fly
ing and with a clear title to versatility
on the vital topics of the day, easily
enough learned through newspaper read
ing.
Nearly all the pupils desperately STUN
bled over the task OF naming three of
the Balkan states; yet the papers have
fairly sung their names since strife has
been rampant there. Do you suppose
there are older folk who might hesitate
and blunder somewhat! The setting Is
picturesque enough If one takes the
trouble to read bit concerning the peo-
pie themselves as well as 1neir connect
Only few knew the number OF stars
in the American hag-and one rancies
there are others Who might rail down
on that. forgetting how the signIncant
stars have slipped in within recent years.

If only there had been college training
back in you nger days! 1t is a wise
enough wish. FOR the college does de-
velop and pave the way to an easier
search for higher mental reach, but it
is well to bear in mind that the college
has no magician's wand to offer. And
it not infrequeatly happens that self
educated folk in the end travel farther
on the real road to learning than do
the more favored ones to whom the
golden opportunities of college come
easily enough.
For not even the training that comes
by way of college can keep one in line
with the swift march of progress unless
the reading habit is well fixed and m-
terest is alert in the happenings of the
day. And in this time of rich opportu-
mites, there is not & great deal OF ex-
cuse for any one to remain narrowed
down because of the lack of early equip

tute for the coveted college training.
