It is one of the hardest things in the world to induce a balky mule to submit the ttae to arbitration. General Bogusluwski says the Mon re doctrine is no good.

Tbe life of a Japanese jinrikisba man la said to be only live years. This snows that in some eases a pull is the worst thing a man can have. Ian Maclaren sees grave danger in veredueation. But this will not re strain us from building truant schools and compelling those to learn who do not wish to do so. Marconi has made it possible to pub lish a daily paper on the Atlantic liners. This cuts us out of our annual trip to Europe in our efforts to get away from business for a season. Somebody who has been investigating ports that the Bonaparte family is dying out. The general impression is, however, that it practically died out at St. Heiena mire than seventy -live years go. . London chemists have concocted a new G.mpound which they call carbon yltbioearbimidophcii lheuzyltbiocai ba -saidn. It sounds like Dutch for automo bile, and .may in fact be almost as deadly. Of 145 students who took entrance examinations at one of our universi ties, eighty-live misspelled twenty or more words out of a list of 150. This proportion of "bad spells" suggests that our secondary schools need more attention to matters primary. pasture land where cattle can be grazed, c.tt meadow land and tilla ble land. Buy all you can and ban? on to it. Then go to wc'i. Go to stay an.1 flo not be disheartened by bard- ships. Go where there is not a rail road for sixty miles and yon have to enter on horseback. TLe railroad veil! follow soon, and those who fight hard will come out on top. Another Inviting region is in the State of Washington. Avoid the cities and go to the back country and get land. Get trcefs up on the mountain side that are heavy wl:h timber and aewssih! to rttnnin water. Make acquisitions in vallevs .Mining, agriculture. lumbering, grazing all branches ara full of promise." YVe believe this to be good advice. In land is found at least a safe investment It will never be worth less. Each year snouid add to the value of land. And the young man will find more than money by following Dr. Pearson's ad vice. He will find health. Of eourse special circumstances govern each case, but the young man who can find a way "to get land" will not regret it. RELIGION PLAYS A GREAT P4RT IN THEIR LIVES. It Prescribes Rule of loniluct from the Time Ibtr Leave iel Until They Ketorn uperalitii.n. We do not question for a moment that an Italian has invented a machine for converting the sun's rays into elec tricity, but before we buy stock in any company that tries to exploit this mechanism we shall go down into the basement and take a long look at our old Keeley motor. Victor Emmanuel seems to believe that arctic explorers deserve recogni tion. He congratulated Sverdnip on his return from the polar regions, and 6 has appointed the Duke of tbe Abruzzi, who got nearer to the pole than any other explorer, to represent Italy at the St. Louis exposition. But what sort of summer climate does bis Majesty think St. Louis has that be should select a hardened arctic travel er to go there? The club, the class and the lecture have taken a large place in the livti of many women. In many enterpris ing towns and villages the courses of fered by clubs and viilages abs rb nearly all the time the home-making woman can have for intellectual life. She belongs to a Shakspcare club and a class In current events, and a guild for the study of church history. Her scant leisure permits very Utile read ing, except such as is done In connee tlon with these courses. The results achieved at the end of a winter will doubtless be abundant; but unless she is on her guard, they will not include any great gaiu in power and accuracy of individual Judgment. Whenever a doubtful point has presented It.-clf in her reading, she has waived It, In the certainty that It will be discussed at length at the meeting of the class, and that she will be helped to her decision by the ideas developed there. Did Hamlet really love Ophelia? Do Shak speare's sonnets tell his own story? Ought the English education bill to pass.' Is reciprocity with Canada nrae- ticable? Is church union possible? These questions and a hundred others will be sure to be settled with a cer tain pleasant dogmatism by the leader of the course of study. Why shouid she trouble herself about them before hand? Because a community where one view only prevails in matters of taste and judgment is likely to be a null piaee and an nuprogressive one. After all, the world has made its long est strides toward enlightenment through the efforts of independent thinkers. In t"he fascination of asso ciated intellectual work It behooves the modern woman not to forget the value of the phrase which, at least by implication, has prefaced nwst of the world's great thinking: "In my opinion."

The laity must be seated when dressing, whereas the priests must stand up and put on their turbans. It Is unlucky for a Moslem to sit down before taking off his shoes. When drawing them on it is equally unlucky for him to stand up. The cus tom, in the first instance, is to rise, doffing first the ieft shoe and then the s.

Napoleon changed the map of Eu rope, but he was "not in it" to use a phrase not yet classical with Ameri can enterprise. One night not long ago a spot on the Oklahoma prairie was a corn field; the next day a town of 2,000 population had appeared, with a bank, a hotel, a daily newspaper and various stores. Not long ago, when the people of Nebraska City, Neb., went to bed one night, the Missouri Rlrer waa flowing by the town; when they awoke the next morning the riv er bad moved Its course three miles to the eastward.

An oilier of a great railway system who has worked his way up from the bottom was rummaging the other day, ai.d fuur.d a memorandum which Is the kn t ; 1. , e .. "This mem." he said, "dates back to the genesis of the railway mail. The man who made the first step in this wonderful Improvement was. unless I am viry much mistaken, the Demo cratic postmaster in St. Joseph. Mo., at the breaking out of the Civil War. He was appointed by Rtichanan. "The Pony Express, which was also started from St. Joseph, suggested to the postmaster a crude arrangement from which was evolved our present railway system. The postmaster found it necessary to arrange his mail so that It could be handled quickly on the ar rival and departure of the Pony Ex press rider. "He rigged up a lot of pigeonholes In an old dry-goods box, and put It where he could have the mail at the ends of his fingers. Each pigeonhole was label ed with the name of a postoffice. "Socm after this arrangement, a sim ilar one was rigged up in the baggage ear of a railroad train, and the man In charge distributed bis mall for towns along the line by putting It into the pigeonholes in a pine box. "Cnide as that was, it facilitated business. It was the cue for the in ventive genius who improved npn It, and, of course, his improvements have br-en Improved upon nntll we have now the best railway mall system In tbe world. "All this has been brought about within tbe recollection of men who are not yet old. From one man who exper imented with It the service has grown so that it now requires a force ef twenty-five thousand men. "If I am correct about the postmaster who started the Idea, his name was Davis, and be was a native of Rich mond, Va." New York Sun. Making Field Quite Invisible.

The procedure must be re versed in every particular when put ting them on. The universal belief in omens is traditional and extends. among fjther things, to precious stones. V-y far the luckiest of these is the flesh-colored cornelian, which Is a great favorite with the men. respite of forty days from the snares of the devil Is gran ed to tbe pious Moslem who can find leisure to comb his beard four-score times and ten between sunrise and sunset. If a Moslem gazes into a looking glass before saying bis prayers he will be guilty of worshiping bis own like ness, however unsightly it may appear in ids eyes. The bund must be drawn across the forehead ere toe hair or the beard be adjusted, or the mirror will reflect a mind given over to van ity, which is a grievous, if universal, sin. The devout who are most un.viv.is to vindicate t.adiliyii perform two pros (rations on beholding the new moon and sacrifice a sbfep for the poor as an additional safeguard against ber ' baneful rays. The evil eye more ofien than not lias its seat in the socket of an unbeliever. Therefore, the Moslem who, on being brought face to face with a heretic, does not say the pray er by law ordained must look to bis charms or suffer the Inevitable blight A cat may look at a kini;; a king may shoot a ferocious animal, and a thief may run aw3y with the srotl. f,ut a true believer must guard his faith against aggression every time be sees thief, a ferocious animal or a king. For very different reasons he must recite a preser!Ix-d formula of prayer on the passing of a funeral procession and on seeing the first fruits of the seasons and their flowers. As the sense of sight gives rise to devotional exercises, mo also does the sense of bearing. Tbe holy Moslem must bend a prayerful ear to Ihe cries of the muezzin during the first two sentences, and when the summons to prayer is over he mnst rub bis eyes with his fingers. The true believer, whenever be bears tbe Sureh Knjdeh read In the koran, must prostrate him self and repeat tbe words after the reader. He must also recite a given prayer on hearing the chirping of cer tain birds or the cries of certain ani mals. If be hears a Moslem sneeze he must say, "May peacp be with thee!" If the www be repeated he must exclaim, "Jlayest lliou be cured!" ; lv Miss Florence R. Kenah, 434 Maris street, Ottawa, Ont., writes: A few months azo I caught a severe cold, which settled on my lungs and remained there so persistently that I became alarmed. I took medicine without benefit, until my digestive organs became upset, and my head and back began to ache severely and frequently.

What the horse and the dummy en gine are to other countries as a sourct of power, the elephant is to India. Th enormous strength and intelligence of this brute are proverbial, and this strength is employed In many lines of work in India. The animal is employed to push heavy loads, to move big tim hers, and to do many oilier things quiring enormous strength, r-avs a maD who ha had plenty of experience In this line: , "The tamed elephant is bought in at a taskmaster. Within 'sight of the raw fellow the tame one pickm up bis keep er. sets tiitn on Ins neck, and walk back and forth in sight of the astound cd stranger, being guided by the gentle prod of tiie book.

Tamei and lamer the new fellow becomes, until after seeing the example of the trained brethren he takes up his keeper at a word of command and sets him or tbe massive neck. "From then on the animal Is lamed and it property (rented, unless he be comes 'muslh,' will remain a faHbfol servant. The question now Is whether you want the beast broken for work or for the circus. If It Is a question of pull big tree stumps or of moving flat car or of carrying lumber, all that hi neces sary Is to let him se-e tbe other ele phants at work."
