Little Gray Nuns Of the North.

The Indian mission school at ResO
luton, in the Mackenzie country,
Canadian Northwest is under the
supervision of the Little Gray Nuns OF
the North. This organization has q
unique history, having been founded
In Montreal nearly two centuries ago
by group of mlddle-ageG ladies
banded together under the leader
ship Of Madame D'Youvlle for the
purpose of accomplishing some good
work in the world
The present name of the order was
derived from a derlsiye appellation
leveled at the few original members
In the beginning, for the people called
them the Gray Sisters, from the fact
that all were gray-haired and had
agreed never to marry after forming
their little association. They accepted
the title thus bestowed on them, and
adopted somber gray habit to con-
form to 1t.

fenced an archbishop. When tour
years old she was being received in
the Church by the archbishop Of Cam
terbury at the chapel royal. Dur
ing the service the archbishop be-
came inarticulate, and many of those
present feared he had sustained q
stroke. What had happened was this:
AS my sister was inclined TO be fidg-
ETY. and troublesome, my mother had
given her a packet of sugar almonds
TO keep her quiet. The child was ac-
tualy sucking one Of these when she
arrived at the chapel royal, but was,
of course, made to remove it, Unseen
by anyone, she managed to place an
other In her mouth. When the arch
bishop took her In his arms the child,
seeing his mouth close to hers, with
the klndest intention In the world,
took the sugar almond from her own
mouth and popped It into the arch
bishops. Never has primate been
in more embarrassing situation
Having both his arms occupied In
holding the child he could not remove
the Offending almond with his fingers.
1t would be quite superfiuous on my
part to point out how highly lndecor-
us = would be for an archbishop to-
shcn we say. to expel anything from
his mouth-in church."

Cold South.

From observations made within re-
cent years by Antarctic explorers, the
average temperature of the southern
hemisphere has been recalculated, as
compared with the northern one, and
the results differ, In some respects,
from those heretofore accepted. 1t
Is found that the mean temperature
south Of the equator, for the entire
year. Is about two and three-Quarter
degrees lower than north Of the equa.
tor But the annual variation Of tenn
perature In the northern hemisphere
is twice as large as in the southern,
the summer temperature being much
higher and the winter temperature
perceptibly lower than those of the
corresponding seasons In the southern
half of the globe.

owls Perform Useful Service.
"0wls as a group have long been
prosecuted by man, but never has per-
secution been more unjust" says the
biological survey More than 80 vari-
cites of owls feed on great variety
of rodents and have useful habits, the
booklet continues. In Washington, ID.
c., the survey recently determined
what 675 barn owls had for dinner.
Here is the menu, by variety and num-
her of dishes consumed: Meadow
mice, Lilo; house mice, 452; house
rats, 1874; other small mammals, 3 per
owl. And the service done man by the
barn owl, the booklet says, Is typical
of that performed by hawks and owls
in general. An occasional chicken Is
consumed, but this loss is far out
weighed by the destruction Of harmful
rodents.
