Canada Very Much Alive.
THK Canadians would make very good Americans If
they were not so obstinately Canadian. This Is
shown by the present wonderful prosperity of the
Dominion. In ten years her trade has Increased by
nearly 1200,000,000. In a single year the Increase is
HO,000,000. Exports of manufactures are $18,500,000 In
MK, against $7,000,000 In 1803. In the same period agri
cultural exports have doubled. The tremendous energy and
success of the Canadian workers are Indicated In the fact

Assets of Canadian banks grew In that time from $24.1,

Increase. Six years ago Canada was thought to bo losing
population by emigration to the United States. Massachu
setts was complaining of the Influx of peasants from Can
ada, and all along the line to Oregon there was said to be
an Incoming current. Now this Is all changed. Immigrants
are flocking Into Canada from the United States farmers,
ranchmen, miiierg and other active classes. From 11,000
In 1SU7 the immigrants have Increased to 75,0X) In 1002,
one-third of these being active workers from the United
States. As respects the creation of needed railways across

progressive, as also In establishing transoceanic steamship
lines and submarine cables to connect with Europe on one
side and Asia and Australia on the other. Our Northern

Monotony and Work.
T Is only natural in the busiest age
seen that there should 1 murmuring of discontent at
the burdens of life, and that, while all the world Is at
work, the workers should find occasionally their un
varying toll In fixed occupations In some degree monot
onous. The complaint of monotony Is not confined to the
workers In any craft, profession or pursuit. The lawyer,
the doctor, the mechanic, the fuctory worker, the farmer,
the housewife, the day laborer, are at times disturbed by
the questioning whether, after all, they arc getting ade
quate return, not merely in money, but In happiness and
human satisfaction, from their endeavors.

undertaken with enthusiasm, and this enthusiasm comes
ONt Or ETHAN ALLEN'S EXPLOITS j
Eihan Allen will always be remem
bered as the man who took Fort Tl
condoroga, though he did other notable
things during the Revolution. Pro
fessor Justin II. Smith, In an article lu
the Century Magazine "The Prologue
of ihe American Revolution," tells of
a less familiar adventure of Allen's.
Ethan Allen was a large specimen of
a man, with u big heart. He was a pa
triot, a fighter, rash, given to swagger,
but very far Indeed from witless. After
the Tlcoudcroga affair be was ousted
from bis command by bis enemies, and
was therefore eager to make good his
brilliant reputation.
He planned an attack on Montreal In
the fall of 1775. Through the fallsre
of bis fellow plotter to come to his
assistance, Allen and bis handful of
men were captured after a daring but
futile resistance, and led before Gen
eral Prescott In the barrack yard at
Montreal.
It was an extraordinary scene. On
one side stood a British officer, hand
somely uniformed, sword at side. On
the other was Allen, a son of the for
est. In deerskin Jacket, cowhide boots,
a red woolen cap on bis unruly hair
all stained with mire and smoke.
"Who are you?" demanded Prescott,
Iti a tone to make the most courageous

"Are you the Alien who took Tlcon

"The very man."
At this Prescott "put himself In a

bend, and loaded blm with bard

Allen shook his mighty flat at him.

We may grasp suggestion of facts
from Interest In the labor at hand. What is sheer drudgery
to one man will be a delight to another; hard work in the
form of recreation Is only play; and, therefore, the Im
portance of choosing one's work wisely, so that It be In
eopformify with one's tastes,. Inclination end. capacities, Is
very great. But after every effort has been made to select
a pursuit wisely, It still remains a fact that the man who
has made the wisest ehollce will have to do much unpleas
ant work; while for the vast majority freedom of choice is
greatly restricted. Hard work must be done, and he who
thinks or hopes that his days are to "flow on in ever-gentle
current of enjoyment" Is generally doomed to disappoint
ment. Even the Idle are disappointed In attaining that
kind of happiness, because they are deprived of the chief
Interest of life, which comes from the consciousness of
work well done, and are beset by the weariness which Is
called ennui.
Happiness, in the modern view, does not consist in mere
pleasure which the experience of the world teaches Is more
elusive the more eagerly and sedulously It Is pursued, but
lu the Improved circumstances, "In the development of new
capacities of enjoyment and In the pleasure which active
existence naturally gives." If this discontent takes the
form of pessimism and unbridled ambition, It means mis

discontent, which is the spur to endeavor, together with a
due realization of the reasons which we have to be content

END OF BORNHOLM INDUSTRY.
Last of Famons Watchmakers Makes
Final Timepiece.
The clock and watch Industry of
Bornbolm, once famous all over Europe
for Its excellence of workmanship and
for over a century the mainstay of the
Island's village population, has died
out. Ilerr H. P. Dam, the lust of the
old Bornholmlnn masters, who elevated
their trade to the dignity of a fine art,
as did Benvenuto Cellini of old, and
whose nimble hands made watches and
clocks for princes of the blood, has
Just completed his last work a watch
for the American merchant In Copen
hagen, Victor Ilol;nes.
This watch, 'entirely hand made,
shows both seconds and minutes, It
cost Is J!0O kroner (about $80;, and It
Is said to be In every way a flno spec
imen of the best work of the old mas
ters. Now, however, the art Is dead.
Modern machinery and the cheapen
ing process which to-day enables any
one to possess a timepiece, have forced
the hand-made watches to the wall and
their expert makers have turned to their
old vocation of fishing.
Probably few readers have heard of
Bornbolm before. It is a small Island
fur out In the Baltic sea, with a super
ficial areii of 220 square miles and a
population estimated to be close to 40,-
OIK). The Island belongs to Denmark
and fishing was for ages the chief vo
cation of the population.
But ono dark night In the middle of
the eighteenth century an English ves
sel went ashore and broke to pieces
near the township of limine. There
was nothing really unusual In that.
Bornholm's coast is bfgh and rocky and
full of dangerous reefs and shoals and
annually hundred of ships had found
a tragic ending there.
But this particular vessel happened to
have on board a cargo of Geneva
watches. (In those days Switzerland
was the Mecca of the art of clock
making.) Some of these clocks and
watches were rescued and greatly sur
prised the Ignorant natives. Clocks
were rarities In those days, and the
good Bornbolmluns bad probably never
even beard of them before.
They therefore feared at f.rst that
the devil bad something to do with this
nefarious work and were for tearing
the things to pieces. But the winter
nights being long and dull on Born
holm, a more scientific Investigation of
the "Infernal things" was begun, ami
'soon the Inquisitive minds were bent
upon emulation rather limit destruc
tion. And this was the beginning of the
famous Uornholmlan clock Industry,
says the New York Times. In a few
yean the Ignorant fishermen became
so Expert In making clocks that the
trade from Switzerland fell off per
ceptibly and soon the colony around
Roone was supplying the aristocracy
of Scandinavia wltb timepieces of all
sorts. Napoleon was presented with

'LIKE 30 CENTS.'
How a Current 81a nn Phrase Started
on It Travels.
The origin of slang has always been
a puzzle to philologists, but once In a
while a current phrase can be traced
to its source. The colloquialism "To
feel like thirty cents" is apparently
nonsensical, but it is certainly the
most forceful expression of the day
for denoting anything small,, mean and
contemptible In one's own sight. Its
origin la thus explained by a Philadel
phia lawyer, who sometimes practices
in New York:
'There Is a vagrant law In New
York under which a person having no
visible means of support may be plac
ed in durance. It has also been de
cided lu that State that a person hav
ing so small a sum as thirty cents in
his possession has 'visible means of
support.' Now there is no law lu New
York except the vagrant law under
which pool sellers and gamblers may
be held. Shortly after the decision Just
mentioned was formulated two gam
biers were captured In a raid und tak
an to the Tenderloin station house.
They sent for a lawyer, who came and
had a talk with them. 'It will never
do to make any show of money here,
he said. 'Give me your rolls.' They
handed their wads over to blm and he
gave each of them a quarter and
nickel, with instructions to produce the
coins when he asked them to do so In
court.
"when their cases were called the
lawyer got them off on the plea that
they were not vagrants, each having
the legal amount of funds in his pos
session. Just as the decision was ren
dered in favor of his clients a messen
ger entered the court and required the
lawyers presence at the Supreme
Court. He left without seeing his cli
ents, and they wended their way to the
nearest saloon.
"How do you feel?" said one.
"'I feci like thirty cents,' said the
other, 'and probably will until I get my
roll back, or what's left of It.'
"Anil that's how that phrase was
started in Its travels." New York

BUCK AND DOGS FIGHT.
Pack and Quarry Danhed to. Death
and Swept Away.
"Bill' Neuman, a veteran hunter of
Susquehanna, Pa., while out on the
mountains near Shohola, had his atten
tion attracted by a deep baying, and
recognizing the sounds as coming from
savage dogs, he ran rapidly to the top
of a neighboring hill, which commanded
an excellent view of distant falls and
also of the surrounding country.
Bill had scarcely reached the top of
the hill when he saw dashing along on
a ridge a magnificent buck, chased by
a dozen or more mountain dogs. The
race had evidently been on for some
time, for the buck appeared to be
about exhausted and the dogs were not
In the best condition.
On swept the pursued and the pur
suers, every bound bringing the dogs
nearer the haunches of the tired buck.
Suddenly the buck changed his course
and plunged down the side of the ridge,
making straight for the fulls.
Overhanging the edge of the stream
and towering directly above the pool
nt the foot of the falls was a huge
rock. To this rock the buck made his
way and, planting himself within a
few feet of the edge and with lower
ing antlers, awaited the attack.
He did not have to wait long. Tin
dogs came with a rush and hurled
themselves at their prey. First one and
then another dog was caught In the
buck's antlers and sent bowling Into
the abyss below.
Just when the fight was hottest, ac
cording to a New York World special,
the rock or ledge uon which tho bat
tle was being fought suddenly gave
way with a crash nnd the combatants
were dropped Into the water and rocks
at the foot of the falls and their bruis
ed nud bleeding bodies were swept on
down the rapid stream.
