On Monday, February 1, 1889,
l.angla's force Of workmen, nun
b.ring some eight or nine men,
,Jubin included in the number
undertook to set the great round
sash, glazed, which adorns the

In June, 1891, a new City Coun

Koch at its head as Mayor. Mr.
Jubin was continued ID the Office
of City Tax Collector under this
administration.
In 1893 Hon. VIM. r. Burke be
came Mayor. He was succeeded
IN 1896 by Hon. Jno. Fisher, who

Goes Abroad to Study Music.

Wade II. Hammond, bandmaster
of the Ninth cavalry band, T. S. A.,
sailed from New York a few days ago
for England, where he will be en-
rolled in the Royal musical school for
bandmasters, at Hinslow, near Lon
don. He is on a six months leave Of
absence. The extended leave of alb
sence he receives and his, assignment
to this school, courtesy extended by
the British government, is. said to be
unparalleled in the history of army
bands of either race, and the more re-
markable that the recipient of the
honor is a negro Unlike in this coun-
try, where the ability of the bandmas-
ter marks the attainment of the band,
Great Britain teaches band music as
branch of the musical art in this
special school, and to Mr. Hammond
as the instructor of the best regimen
tai band in the army the chance to
enter has been an ambition for
months, now realized through the IN
terest of the war department in his
work. His expenses are borne by reg
mental funds.

TIED ACROSS HORNS OF cow
crushes Young Woman-Farmer
Is Accused.

Winnipeg,-Peter g. Hanson, far
mer at Grierson, so miles northwest
of Winnipeg, is sought by the Mani
toba police, who accuse him of tying
young woman to cows horns.
Maggie Waranski, the daughter of a
neighbor, is seriously injured, perhaps
fatally, as q result.
The story sent here is to the effect
that Hanson, who was enamored of
the girl, became angry at her cold
ness and threatened revenge. The re-
venge is said to have consisted of
knocking the girl unconscious and
binding her firmly across the animals
horns.
The COW took fright and dashed
into the bush, tearing off the young
woman's clothes against the trees.
When the animal became exhausted
1t fell, and the girl was crushed
against the earth. She was trampled
under the cows feet when 1t tried to
arise.
Neighbors, hearing screams In the
woods, cut the girl loose.

Never Liked Oats.

Frenchmen have never liked oats;
doctors have urged them to try the
national dish of the Scotch, but they
have politely refused
But one group of Frenchmen could
not escape; this was company of the
One Hundred and Twenty eighth in
fantry, whose captain insisted that
his men should eat oatmeal porridge
for month. He had the oatmeal
toasted to improve the taste.
To their surprise, his men found that
after a month Of maneuVers they did
not have single man on the sick list,
while other companies had as many
as a dozen. They have made up their
minds that oats are not so bad after
all.

21R inches away from it. Then run
a piece of stiff wire through the CEN
ter-pole at G, which should be 2b
inches from A, and another at D,
which should be 6 inches away from
wire G; also run piece of wire 512
inches long, with its lower end bent
into the form of a hook, through a
vertical hole bored through the CEN
ter-pole u inch back of block B.
Drive a screw into the top Of the pole
at F, which should be 7 inches away
from block B, and fasten a brass ring
TO the rear end of the pole, as shown
at G.
A wooden propeller correctly pro
portioned is not easy for boy to
make; one can be bought at a small
cost from any Of the dealers who ad-
vertise materials for making aero
planes, and one of these will give the
greatest satisfaction. But you will
find a propeller made similar to that
shown in the illustrations fairly good
one. 1t is easy to make, too. The
two blades are of tin. Cut them out
of tomato can, using Fig. as a
pattern. The curve of the can will be
just the right curve for the blades,
so, after removing the ragged edge of
the opened end Of can, mark out the
blades upon its sides and then cut
them out. These blades set in the
slotted ends Of hub block, such as is
shown in Fig g. Make this out of hard
wood, as inch by % inch by Ia inches
in size, drill small hole through the
center for a shaft, and slot each end
diGgonaily for a distance Of 1s inch
with saw, as SHOWN in the detail.
Notch the edges Of the blades near
the narrow end, rs shown in the pat
tern, and after clipping them into the
slots in the hub turn over the little
ends against the hub and drive a tack
through the wood and the tin to help
hold them in position. Procure the
RUG from the top Of a WORKOUT alarm
clock, and a machine-screw of the
proper thread to fit it, for the pro
pellep shaft Gig 81, and cut small
washer out Of hardwood. Fig. 8
shows how the machine-screw should
run through the propeller hub. then
through the wooden washer, through
the lower hole in block A, and then
be screwed into the clock ring. The
propeller is operated by a rubber-band
motor Buy enough 3inch rubber
bands to make six strands long enough
to reach from block A to block B,
when loored end to end, and fasten
one end of each strand to the clock
ring and the other end to the screw
hook In block B.
A landing chassis is not necessary for
this model; still, if you provide one
there will be less danger OF the pro-
peller blades Icing bent by coming

A SIMPLE MODEL AERopLANE.

The model aeroplane shown in Fig.

of the simplest designs to carry out.
The centerpole, which is shown in Fig.

bamboo tlshing-rod or bamboo UNI.
brella handle, "a inch or Y inch in
diameter. Cut it "a inches long. Pre-
pare the blocks A and B as shown in
Fig. 3, cutting block A u inch thick,
II inch wide and ~ inches long, and
block B of the same width and thick
ness by IL inches long. Make these
out of hardwood, and bore the holes
shown for the centerpole to slip
through before trimming them down
to their proper size to avoid splitting
them, Also bore hole through A for
the propeller shaft and screw screw.

ports for the wheels can be made OF
stif wire and be fastened to block A,
a piece of bamboo can be used for an
axle, and wooden button molds or
spool ends will make good wheels.
Fig. 5 shows the patterns for the
wings, tail, fin and rudder. The wings
require frames made of wire, or of
four bamboo sticks bound together at
the corners with linen thread, as in
dicated by the dotted lines in the
drawing, and they are covered with
silk. Bind the projecting ends of these
wing frames to the ends of wires c
and ID on the center-pole Gigs. and
y, and connect the outer edges of the
wings with a thread or cord, making
the cord short enough to warp the
wings about 21a inches (measure.
ments taken at the center, between
the string and the center-pole).
The tail has one stick which slips
into Q hem in the short edge of the
cloth,Sand cords run through hens on
the other two edges. Fasten one end
of each cord to the stick and the 9th.
er end to small brass ring. This
plane should be warped X inch by
means of varying cord attached to
the ends of the stick, as in Fig. 1.
The fin is prepared similar to the tail
plane, but instead of having a stick
run through 1t, the hem on the short
edge slips over the upper end of wire
h Gig. q. The rings on the fin and
tail slip over the nail at F.
The rudder has a piece of wire run
through its edge to give 1t stiffness,
and the ends of this wire are bent into
hooks and fastened to the lower part
of wire e Figs. / and p. Attach a
thread to the rear of the rudder and
fasten the ends of this to the ends of
the tail plane
When you try out this model. you
will probably find some reimbursement
of the wings, tail, fin and rudder nee.
essary before it will fly satisfactorily.

Here is an emigration story told at
n meeting held in England recently.
In village was youth who had got
himself into such a variety of scrapes
that his people thought It would be
better to dispatch him to Canada. so
as to get him away from old and
doubtful associations. He agreed to
50 provided those interested in his
departure secured him some testimo-
malls, Half-a-dozen were got for him.
They sang his praises in unrestrained
terms. spoke of his geniality, and all
the other virtues that few men have,
but many get the credit for.
When the young man read the tes-
timonials he turned to his father and
exclaimed:
Well. I'm hanged! had no idea
people thought so much of me. And
now | know how much they like me
