One Instance has been reported In which n party of schoolboys coasting In an old nil tig down n hill Hint slopes across the boundary, apparently for fun, brought with them at every trip a chest of ten, until fifty chests had been smuggled Into Maine, contrnry to law. Again, afi "aqueduct" of small load pipe, half a mile long, was secretly laid from a tavern In the Dominion to a public house on tho other side of the line, through which hundreds of barrels of gin nnd other liquors were pumped. Nor are such "aqueducts" always restricted to liquors. A wood- Httlos tho girl, and a lot of nonsense ! on spout wns used for years to convey like that.

' More and more It becomes evident thnt n groat and solemn referendum Is needed to sottlo the question: Shall women propose? This matterIt Is n leap year has been HglFntlng men and women for more thnn six months. When J 020 opened, this newspaper cnllcd nttontlon to the fact that It was n leap year and suggested and even ndvlsod women to tackle men who wero hanging back, and see that they did their duty and assumed the bur den of marriage. Wo told women to boldly propose to men and see thnt .they gave tho right answer an nlllrm-, atlvo. Thoro Is no person quite so much of n slacker as, a smugglsh bachelor, and If he possesses not tho nerve to nsk a woman to marry him, then It Is tho right of the woman to demand thnt ho marry bur and see thnt ho docs. Weak arguments hnve boon offered against women proposing; folk say It Is unwomanly, that It bo- matter reasonably and realize that It Js tho duty of every healthy person to hnvo a mate through life, they will un derstand that It Is as much a woman's right to request a man to marry her as It Is the man's right to put the ques tion to her. Wherefore we repeat what wo hnvo said before, that womon should do tho proposing In casos whoro men show nn Inclination to hnng hnck or arc bashful. If loft to a referen dum wo feel sure the woman's right to propose will bo snnctloned.-Mhl-crigo Evening Post. ' Iceberg Was an Acrobat. Not far from the wpot whore tho Ti "tanlc wan sunk by an Iceberg In April, 1012, rt licet of 14 Iceb'ergs, somo of them rising to moro than 100 feet above tho water lino, were sighted by the steamship Miiiinlrcs on a recent voyage. Captain Fleming of the Muiuilrcs says that one of tho bergs gave a re markublo exhibition of tumbling as the vessel sailed past. It had apparently lost a good denl of "its under water weight through the nctlon of the warm sen water, and ns they watched It the great Iceberg suddenly tipped to star board and rolled over with an Immense splash. As It fell, a big section of the top broke away, with the result that the balance was altered and the berg tumbled back again. Then, Just as It was righting Itself, another section broke off, and It tumbled once more. The sight was a most utiusunl one. Edinburgh Scotsman. found n square spout, and burled under tho snow and piles of brush, which extended from Cud ley's barn to a bin In the Maine man's granary. Inside this conduit was a long belt provided with tin cups nnd attached to a winch thnt could bt turned by n crnnk In Cudley'fl barn. Youth's Companion. Purpose of Fly's Existence. Tho lly Is the Judas of animal cre ation, hated, loathed, destroyed, the very renson for Its existence ques tioned by querulous mankind. Yet tho fly, despised Insect thnt it Is, must serve n purpose, for nature mnkes few mlstnkcs In her crontlon. That pur poso Is not hnrd to find. Tho fly la nnturo's ngent to remove tilth.

"She Is to be married next week." "All gone Aljco, Warren, Bnrtloy, nnd now the youngost," ropeatod Jhe other. "I should think you would be dreadfully lonesome." "Of course we miss them," ropllcd Mrs. Waters, "but we nro glad to see them make their choice In life, well and happy. Alice has picked out a very sensible man with a good busi ness. Warren will always bo near us. He settled In the town here. Nellie's prospective husband Is a doc tor In the city, with an established practice.". "And Hartley how has he got nlong?" Mr.). Waters tightened the lips thnt expressed disappointment or resent ment, It was dllllcult to decide whtcn. "Well, If the truth must be known," she said, "Hartley has not made much of his chances In life. He nlways had n mechnnlcnl turn, you know, and liked pottering about with tools and Inventing Impossible machines. lie could hnve married the richest girl In Dayton, but" no, he never looks out sensibly for his own Interest I A year ago he took a month's Vneatlon down In the southern part of tho state and came bnck with a bride. We were more than surprised." "She" "Oh I the girl is all right, arjd her old father, too, ns to Intelligence nnd respectability, but worse thnn poor absolutely at the verge of destitution when Hartley came across thenf. Were rcnlly living In a tent down there In tho swampy country. It would almost seem as If Bartley had married Win nie Blake from charity or pity." "They don't get nlong" "Oh, yes, they do perfectly happy. The girl fairly Idolizes Bartley. and ho Is more thnn content grubbing along, dreaming his old dreams of startling the world with some great Invention, and Just ninklng ends meet. Winnie nnd her father encourage him In his speculative ambition, for they think he Is the smartest man In the world." "Maybe he Is give him time to de velop," suggested the relative. "Hardly, saddled with debt and nn old man who will never bo able ngain to make his living," sighed Mrs. Waters. Her Impulsive son. nnd his ndorlng wife recked little thnt the shoe pinched hnrd at times. There wns a romnnco In their lives thnt would always remain. On n wnlklng tour down stnte, Bartley had come across the Blnkes, father and daughter, shel tered by a tent on the poor 40-nere patch where they had grubbed out a living fop years. Only a week previ ous the house and lmm had burned down nlong with a lot of grain and equipment. They were absolutely beg gared. Hartley lingered fnsclnntod by the pure, Innocent nnturo of the lovely girl who strove to encourage her stricken fAther thnt better days were In store for them. Fate fashioned the outcome, arid Winnie went bnck to Bartlcy's home town, his wife. Over n year went by, and a baby came. Hartley nail inniio little prog ress In his. business, for hnlf of his time he was, working on nn Invention that looked promising. At the last he discovered that an esscntlnl princi ple of Its construction hnd been de vised previously by a college profes sor, of Itself no use to the Inventor, hut without tho right to use It Hart ley's machine wns minus n valuable es sential. The collego professor was only willing to transfer It for several thousand dollars. Little Daisy, tho babe, wns only n few weeks old when Mr, Blake one dny disappeared. Winnie wns deeply worried and Bartley was alarmed. They searched vainly for a trace of the missing man. They feared for his safety aged, penniless, unfit for hard ship ns he was. Then one evening ns Winnie, the bnbe and Hartley were seated on tho porcn, the flrst named uttered a vivid scream. The denot auto circled up to the curb and Albert Blake alighted. "Sort of tired from n long train ride, so thought I'd hire a conveyance." he chirped gayly, after Winnie hnd wept for Joy on bis shoulder and Hartley hugged him In glad welcome. "My new suit? Why, yes, Professor Smith helped me pick It out." "Professor Smith?" repeated Bnrt- ley amazedly. "Wns with him nil the morning. I mustn't forget to give you the doc ument transferring his patent to you. Paid ensh for It. I say, son Hartley, nt last I can provo to you how I cher ish your goodness to me nnd mine." "You see. It was all through a news paper Item I happened to see telling how farmers had girdled and de stroyed their trees to get a chnnce to plnnt, and how black wnlnut had got to bo so scarce that an old farmer In Maryland got n thousand dollars for four old stumps. That set me think ing of our old wood lot In' the swamp remember It, Winnie? Not a tree touched, and SO acres of It. I went bnck there with a timber cruiser and, Bartley, after paying tho professor I've got enough cash to put your pntent through and make us nil rich for life."
