narcotic bullet" is now being expert

Of the regulation army bullet. The in
ventor claims that it in no way inter.

missile. The elight indentation in the
steel jacket causes no splintering

bone, and no deleterious effects will
follow the unique administration of
the drug.

Wild Horses Do Damaoe.

Alberta's minister of agriculture has
urged upon the Dominion government
the necessity Of taking determined
steps to put a stop to tho depreda.
tions of wild horses in the Peace
country in western Alberta and east
ern British Columbia, which has been
one Of the principal pioneering sec
tions of this part Of Canada during
the last few years. He states that
wild horses have made raids upon the
ranches Of now settlers. killing many
of the domestic horses and leading
away a number of the well-bred do
mestic mares which have been im
ported at considerable cost and
which are one of the principal assets
of the new settler. According to OF
tawa statistics, these horses are sup
posed to be descendants of horses
abandoned during the gold rush to
the Yukon territory in 1897-9S. From
the Bow river westward these ami
mails have raided the ranches of the
settlers as far west as Kamloops and
the contractors on the Grand TRUNK
Pacific railway have suffered lossel
of imported animals used on the con
struction work Of the road.

Was Taking No Chances.

Senator Ashurst of Arizona the
other day discussed a fellow senator
who had been sitting on the political
fence with great skill for months.
Every one suspects his true posi-.
ton, but no one can prove it. 1t
reminded Ashurst OF the incident
that followed the killing of Jesse
James, the outlaw.
"A stranger entered the morgue,"
said Ashurst, and, raising his hat po.
litely, addressed the morgue keeper:
Sir said he. would you do me
a great favor? Will you permit me
to see all that is mortal of the hon.
orable Jesse James?'
"'Sure,' said the morgue keeper.
He walked to the marble slab and
pulled down the sheet which covered
the dead robber. The stranger gazed
earnestly. Then, replacing his hat, no
started to leave.
"'One moment said the morgue
keeper. Why did you call the dead
man 1.-THE honorable Jesse James"?'
Because said the stranger Z
wasn't quite certain he was dead"

$4,000 BEQUEATHED
FOR DICTIONARY
Royal Irish Academy Publishes First
Volume. 80.

The Royal Irish academy has OBJ
tanned $4,000 bequeathed by prot
estant clergyman, the late Rev. Max.
we'll Close, for the publication of
dictionary of the Irish language. The
time limit imposed by the testator ex-
pired at noon Saturday, August 16.
Half an hour earlier the first volume
of the dictionary had been placed on
sale in Dublin and copy delivered
to the commissioners of requests.
This part is really only a small
fragment Of what is intended to be
monumental work. Though the vol
ume itself is large it contains only
words in the letter D up to lie. A.
b and C had been published as con.
tributions to Irish photography by
Prof Kuno Meyer. The present part
was compiled by the Norwegian
scholar, Prof. Marstrander. assisted
by three Irish woman pupils in his
school of Irish learning in Dublin.
The aim of the Royal Irish acad-
envy is to make this dictionary as
complete for the Irish language as
Murray's famous dictionary is for the
English language. At the present
rate of progress it will take genera
lions to complete the work.

Some Famous Echoes,

Among the most noted echoes is that
heard from the suspension bridge
across the Menai strait. The sound of
a blow from hammer on one of the
main piers of the structure is re-
turned in succession from each of the
cross-beams that support the roadway
and from the opposite pier at the dis
lance of SIG feet, in addition to which
the sound is many times repeated be-
tween the water and the roadway at
the rate of % times in five seconds.
Outside Shipley church, in Sussex, is
an echo which repeats 20 syllables in
the most remarkable manner.
The famous echo at Woodstock.
when awakened, answers no fewer
than so times.

Pauls cathedral the faintest sound is
faithfully conveyed from one side Of
the dome to the other, but cannot be
heard at any intermediate point.

"There has been a great deal of COM
ment recently over the examinations
for admission to the military end na-
val academies and for admission to
the marine corps" remarked A. ].
Wetherington of Philadelphia. II was
very much amused at the comment of
. young friend who recently went up
against the board Of examiners for the
marine service. Speaking Of the ques-
tons in geometry which were pro-
pounded to the boys, this youngster
said, In dry way:
History tells us that the old dis.
coverer of the science Of geometry
Euclid-who lived 800 years before
Christ-wrote something like twenty
books, which he called Elements, and
that Of this number seven were lost
The examining GARD of the marine
corps have found those books, for the
questions 1t put to US two wekes ago
clearly demonstrated that it dug up
some theorems which had not been
seen in the last 1000 years."

FASHION HINTS
FOR WOMEN
Brief Summary Of Prevailing Ideas
in Dress.

Much wool embroidery is used on
the new fall costumes.
There are many scarf trimmed hats
among the new models.
Printed silks are a favorite material
for afternoon costumes.
The newest draped skirts are raised
short In front and widen in folds to-
ward the hips. ..
Lace used as inside revers Is g. femi-
nine touch which has been given to
some waistcoats.
The plainest of wash frocks is given
an air of dressiness by frill around
the neck or outlining the opening of
the blouse from throat to belt.
Blouses with drop shoulders are Gu,
out from a single breadth of wide ma
terial and form the upper part OF
some OF the smart onc-piccc gowns.
Fashion seems to have swung
around again to the separate jackets
and separate skirts. and the selection
Of contrasting colors must be har.
monious.
For the young girl there are smart
little froclIs Of serge. chiffon, broad
cloth. charmeuse and wool brocade
Some OF them have quaint little Elton
Jackets. opening over vests OF softly
gathered net or chiffon.

lnexhaustibIe Rome.


Sleff1ngton S. Norton of large
shipping firm said at dinner, apropos
of recent visit to Rome:
Rome is wonderful Rome is mex.
haustible. There is story that de.
scribes Rome we'll.
THE pope was giving audience. He
said to a lady in black:
"'How long have you been In
.Rome?'
"'Three weeks the lady answered.
"'Ah,' said the pope, then you have
seen Rome Il. a5.-..g..
And he turned to an American mer-
chant and asked:
And you, sir, how long have you
been in RoUe?'
"'Three months the American re-
piled.

accosted an elegant woman with gray
hair.
"'How long, madam he asked,
have you been here?'

Ideal lnspires Desire

1t was some time ago that the high.
est and truest ideal Of the human
race were started.
This is perhaps connected with the
fact that much of our best safeguard
ing comes from nature. For instance,
frequently q woman, even of full
natural instincts, has no special desire
for progeny. Then q strong love
comes. and to what was only vague
general idea before, that she naturally
would have children. is added a real
longing, an intense imagining of how
pleasant a little creature would be,
and Of what solemn and joyful pos
session 1t would be together. Desires
grow when the ideal surroundings are
prepared. Nature takes care Of US.
She is often careless, but judge by her
best, and wonderful is she in har.
mony and depth.-Harper's Weekly.

Immense Timber BUILDING.

The high cost and the difficulty Of
securing lumber in large sizes long
ago eliminated wood as q structural
material except in falsework, temper.
airy construction and structures of
small size. Machinery hall, now be-
ing built for the Panama.Paciflc expo.
sition, is. therefore, Of more than
usual interest, since its frame is en-
tirely of wood. It has a floor area Of
over eight acres and an extreme
height Of 1876 feet. Using as it does
about 100000 feet (board measure)
Of lumber, it is fairly safe to venture
the prediction that it will be the last
great monumental structure to be
built of native timber, and we may
even hazard the statement that never
again will its equal be erected of such
material in this country.-Engineer

MUSIC NOTATION
INVENTED BY PRIEST
Monk Of Benedctne Order Worked
Under Pope John XVIII.

How few of those who in this age arc
devoted to music and regard it as
largely a modern accomplishment, ever
give a thought to the fact that to
monk Of the Benedictine order they
owe the system Of notation which OBJ
tnins to this day. Guido Aritino, a ma
tive of Arezzo. was born in the tenth
century. and in early manhood entered
a Benedictine monastery, where his
remarkable genius for musical COM
position was cultivated and developed.
The old system Of learning music was
extremely crude and tedious and re-
quired years of patient study. Guido.
we are told, undertook to simplify the
problem, and evolved from his own
brain the system which, after lapse
Of 900 years, still holds sway. His
picty is manifested in his selection Of
the first syllables of Latin hymn to
st. John as names for the notes. viz,
do, re, me, etc. 1t should also be re-
called that to the patronage of a Pope,
John XVIII, the world owes it that
Guido's system came into general use,
and this during its authors lifetime.
Guido was invited to Rome, and every
facility and encouragement given him
in perfecting It, "The gamut," says
modern writer, was Guido's invcn-
ton. and from the Vatican resounded
the first chants of classic melody. re-
duced to a popular study by the genius
of the humble Benedictine." -

The Sahbatartan,

Mayor Gaynor, complimented in
New York on a letter that he had
written in defense Of Sunday games,
said with his quiet smile:
well, you know, some of these
people would hardly have US breathe
on Sunday.
"They are as bad as the old scote.
woman on Queen Vitcoria's Balmoral
estate. This old woman was scandal
lied because the queen went driving
on Sunday afternoons. She even ven
tured to speak about 1t.
"The queen, Who allowed q good
many liberties to her Balmoral tenan-
try, smiled and said to the old wo.
man:
But, Janet. the New Testament
tells US distinctly that the Sabbath
was made for man.
AYE said Janet, severely, I know
it does; and l think none the more
OF the New Testament for that"

JUST THE PLAIN, COLD FACTS
Evidently Someone Unafraid to Tell
Them Was Detailed to Answer
This Letter.

How" asked Engaged" can .
girl be sure the man she loves means
all he says?'
The cold, hard fact about it is that
she cannot. Neither can he. Solomon,
who knew 4 lot, said all men were
liars; and human experience in the
centuries since hasn't produced many
reasons to change the verdict.
Not necessarily wilful and deliber.
ate liars-let's give them that benefit.
But let us also be candid. A man in
love is like a man In drink-he il
too intoxicated to be responsible for
all he says.
Do you suppose there ever was
man In love, from Adam down. who
didn't swear by all the deities that no
would never let the woman take In
washing to support him? Yet tho
washtub supports almost as many
homes as the pick and shovel.
Circumstances change When q fel-
low gets down to earth after his emo
tional tour of the stars. he Is apt to
be practical and matter Of fact. II
he remembers his ecstatic promises at
all, it is vaguely. The wise woman
doesn't presume upon them. She just
marks of the discount to profit and
loss. and thanks her luck If there 10
enough left to make the basis of .
working agreement
No, dear, you can't believe all that
Romeo tells you: but you can Judge
him fairly we'll on form. Ia he kind
to his old mother? Has he kept q
clean record In the responsibilities
around his present home? Has he
good men friends who believe in him
and trust him? Back of the froth and
embroidery Of his imprisoned chat.
ter do you detect the rudiments of
plain horse sense? Has he shown
gumption in tackling the business OF
making living for two or more?
II SO. and you really love the chap,
and would be willing to pare potatoes
for him until death do you part, then
we guess It's all right.-New Orleans

| MANY THEORIES AS TO DIET
Wide Variety Of Choice Afforded by
Opinions Of Men Prominent In
Affalrs.

Nowadays eating has become
veritable science, and there are those
who assert that man can alter his
very character IL he will only indulge
in the right kind of diet. The other
day the private secretary of the man.
arajah of Jhalawar gave lecture on
food in London, in the course Of which
he stated that the eating of onions
is conductive to darkness of spirit"
He also ayerred that the caste system
In India is largely regulated by diet.
Thus. those of the highest caste only
eat vegetarian meals in order to keep
their souls pure. Members of another
caste are allowed to eat meat so that
they may become fitted to be warriors,
while the lowest caste of all eat stale,
fiat foods" which suit their unspirit-
ual natures.
Two noted German professors gave
1t as their opinion not long ago that il
people would eat plenty of chalk they
would have not only more energy and
happiness, but considerably increased
brain power, says an exchange.
A doctor in Philadelphia recently
stated that no one who eats a pound
of macaroni daily will ever become q
drunkard, but he also stipulated that
the would-be teetotalers should live
entirely on vegetarian diet and
never touch meat in any circum.
stances.
In direct contradiction of the "vege-
tarfanism for soulfulness" theory is
that of New York woman. She be-
lieves that there is nothing like fine
chops and glasses of beer to inspire
poets and writer's, and she opened
restaurant for the express purpose of
providing those who would WOO the
muse with the proper kind of diet.
She has no patience with people who
would become "soulful' on prunes
and lentils, and her linn for Bohem-
ians," as her establishment is called,
has certainly been well patronized by
budding Tennysons and future Mere.
diths.
The belief is gaining ground in many
quarters that il yeu wish to stave OF
old age and to have the feeling of
perennial youth and gayety. no matter
what your actual years may be, you
cannot do better than eat plenty of
sugar. One of the pioneers of this
theory is Professor Metchninoff, who
has made exhaustive experiments to
prove his statements.
There are some who even assert
that not only does the frequent eating
Of sugar keep one from growing old,
but that if a man or woman will begin
the sugar treatment, even after
senility has set in, the effect will be
30 great as to amount to a complete
change in his or her character.
