NENAGERIES ARE
 PLAYFUL ON OCEAN

San Francisco, - Instead of be- comining seasick while being trans ported to this country for menag- cries, snakes and monkeys often take on new life and appear more sprightly than usual, according to sailors on two Dutch steamers which have just arrivd from Java.
 The Rotti brought from the Dutch East Indies Charles c. Classen, known as The Old Animal Guy. He had with him nine tigers, fif- teen monkeys and twelve pythons.
 There was more than a little trouble on the voyage between Java and San Francisco. One of the cub tigers was made a pet and behay- ed until the fog of the San Fran cisco offing was reached.
 Then "Pieter," as the sailors called him, got snappy and tried to take a piece out of the first of ficer's hand. He was placed in a cage.
 Later it was found that one of the pythons had broken loose and was sliding over the deck. Clas- sen tried to force it back into the cage without success. Finally they had to make a dummy out of can vas, supposed to look like pig. The python wound itself around the dummy, when Classen's men managed to throw a bow-line over it and forced it back into the cage.
 The menagerie on the Samarinda included two monkeys trained to stand on their heads when told the "Kaiser was coming"

YUKON TO HAVE
 G0V'T FARM

The Canadian government has de- cided on an important departure for the Northland looking to agricul- tural development, and has just no- tified James Farr, we'll known To- cal farmer, that he has been ap- pointed the government experiment. al farmer for the region. MT. Farr lives at Swede creek, where he de- Vots his time throughout the sum- mer to farming.
 Mir. Farr's appointment is the result of the visit to Yukon last year by MT. Matte, agristologist of the Dominion government staff. Dr. Matte visited farms in all parts of the territory, and devoted much time to investiations in particular in and about Dawson. He was greatly pleased with a series of experiments which MT. Farr had made in growing grains and veget- ables, and his earnest interest in these matters led to his selection.
 MT. Farr is busy just now harvest ing his potato and other crops at his farm at the mouth of Swede creek, facing the Yukon river. When seen recently he stated that he is unable to announce as yet any details as to plans for the ex- perimental farm for this district, as he has no further instructions from Ottawa than a telegram to the eff feet he has been appointed to the charge of the farm. MT. Farr is enthusiastic over the experimental farm work, and says that no doubt 1t will prove of great benefit to the Yukon. He is confident that with the systematic experiments which he can carry on, and the data which can be obtained from other farmers in the territory with their eo-opera- tion and that of the scientists of the agricultural department at Ot- tawa that the farming industry in this territory will be benefited ap- preciably. Distribution of seeds, and the handling of fertilizer, the systematic gathering of data from each farmer, and the trying out of new crops likely will be a part of the work to be followed up in this region.-Dawson News.

A cable just received by thd Red Cross War Coun cil in Washington from Major Gray son M.-P.

 Tn the various departments out side the Seine there. are some S50,- 900 refugees embracing all classes and ages except able bodied men. Although employment at good wages is general, these refugees are nevertheless in an unfortunate con- dition because of the complete loss of their possessions where driven out of the invaded territory. They have since been living in excessive ly congested quarters and, necessari- ly, under very unsanitary condi- tions.
 "The Red Cross hopes to aid the authorities to lessen this congestion by supplying furniture to those who in this way could move into better, quarters, by completing buildings already partly constructed, and even by furnishing portabel houses of cheap construction, when necessity, as a temporary makeshift.
 Tt is proposed to establish, in connection with the French authori- ties, health centers from which useful work can be done in such a way as fully to conserve the self respect and independnce of those who accept it. There are many vol untary agencies, as well as public relief authorities, through whom the Red Cross can give assistance.
 "Dr. DevineE immediate task will be to co-ordinate those agen- cies and arrange for constructive relief for those victims of the war

 They reached France in time to re- ceive a message from the General whose life Donald had saved, when he obtained the Victoria Cross. The general wanted Donald to come to his death bed for he wanted to thank the boy who had saved his life and to bequeath to him all of his prop erty. The other half he said was for his son, whom he had not seen since he was small boy.

 On being told he said, 'T thought so. You are my son. I saw the likeness to your dead mother in your face"
 Nettie was introduced to her new father and she nursed him back to life again.
 AS a marriage present the General gave them half of his gold mines in South Africa and settled large fortune on Nettie, saying laughing ly, "So that you won't always need to be pulling at your husbands purse for money"
