In the Former Case Jury Censures

Electric Liffht Company While

in the Latter Jury Disagrees

A large gathering of persons from thia

(dare and Spring Lake were attracted to

tlM Chamberlain hall on Ninth avenue

Monday afternoon, when Prosecutor John

S. Applegate, jr., conducted the inquests

of the killing of WiUaid Palmer at tbe

Twelfth avenue railroad crossing last

week, and that of Walter Hailey, the 9-

jrsar-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest W.

Bailey, wbo met a sudden death by grasp-

ing a live electric light wire which was

dangling- from a pole in Spring Lake on

November 26.

lo the latter case the jury soon brought

In a verdict censuring the Atlantic Coast

Electric Light company o f Asbury Park

for the fallen wire by which the boy was

killed. After being out two hours the

jaror* in the case of Willard Palmer, re­

turned to announce that they could not

agree I t is understood that live of the

Jurymen were of a similar mind but that

One held out persistently to views with

which tbe.otbers could not accept. Cor­

oner Purdy may empanel another jury

and conduct another inquest.

Witnesses were sworn to show that the

wire with which the boy came in fatal

contact was down Wednesday night, two

daya before the accident occurred, and

Superintendent Jacob G. Campbell of the

% h t company could offer no explanation

fo r the failure of the men sent out trouble -

banting Thanksgiving day to find and re­

pair the fallen line. The superintendent

wnt Inclined to believe that the wire was

down on account of work done on the

pqle by telephone company linemen who,

be said, had worked on the poles the

day previous to the accident. Mr. Camp­

bell said the company received no in­

formation concerning the wire until after

the boy had been killed. According to

ghe testimony of N. J . Sherman, who,

while going to work early Friday morn

in f, kicked the wire out of his path and

left it hissing and spluttering in the

now, it hung down along the Passaic

avenue path, touching the ground be­

tween two poles, in such a position that

one might run a band along it while

Walking the path. He and other* told

of a small piece, two or three inches

long, bared of insulation, where it is

■apposed the little boy received the fa­

tal shock. Sherman wanted to tell some

one of the wire as a warning but it was

»0 early he found no one up and had to

hurry to his work.

No one saw the boy killed but Ar­

thur Montgomery, a colored man, who

drove along on a coal wagon about thc time

it was he, who, mindless of his own

danger, pulled the little body from the

wife. The youngster was clutching it

tightly with both hands and one thuinli

several fiugers th&t had been burned

nearly through came off wh£n Mont­

gomery parted the dead body and the

fatal life wire. The colored inan said

he was so excited that he did not notice

until afterward a shock he received when

he took hold of the boy’s body.

In the verdict the jury, returning uhile

the Palmer inquest was under way, found

that the Uttle boy was electrocuted by u

live wire that sagged between two poles

and that the wire belonged to the At^n-

tic Coast Electric Light, Heat and Power

company. The verdict continues, "We

censure the said company for their failure

to locate and repair said wire, which had

been broken for at least 36 hours."

Testimony in tlie Palmer ease tended to

show that the young man approaching the

crossing from the east could have seen the

train approaching from the south for at

least 200 feet before he reached the cross­

ing. Approaching from thc west side the

crossing wa* said to be dangerous! but ap­

proaching from the east, as was Palmer,

there seems to be every opportunity for a

clear and forewarning view of a train

north-bound. Thomas Fenton who saw

the accident, said Palmer’s horse was on

a trot but that it slowed up to a walk just

as the engine struck the wagon. Fenton

nor others nearby at the time of thc acci­

dent heard any whistle from the locomo­

tive, but the engineer—Charles Mason,

tnil hi* fireman, John Lovett, and thc

conductor, Walter Durling, each swore

that the whistle was blown aa a warning

to the wagon, which Mason said he saw

approaching.

Trespassing on railroad property in v i* -

latlou of the law, has been responsible for

the deaths of 47,416 people ia the United

States in the last ten years. In the same

period more than 50,000 trespassers were

injured. It is in view’ of these facts lhat

many of tlie important railroads have .de­

termined lo redouble tbeir efforts to secure

in this country that rigid enforcement of

tlie law against trespassing, which iu Eng­

land has reduced the practice—and acci­

dents to trespassers—to a minimum. The

number of people killed while trespassing

on railroads has been increasing every

year. In 1898, 4 ,00 trespassers io t th?ir

lives on American railroads; five years

later the number was 5,000, and in 1967

the number killed was 5,612—more than

1 j a day. These figures are taken^from

the annual report of tbe Interstate Com­

merce Commission. Figures compiled by

thc Pennsylvania railroad alone show that

16a trespassers lost their lives on that sys­

tems line iii 1B99; 7SI were killed in ivol,

while in 190? the number reached *»1. —an

average of almost three for every business

day in the year- in the ten years prior to

January 1, 1 exactly » ,240 people, who

were on the Pennsylvania's right of way

| hi wilful violation ofthe law, and in spite

of thousands of warning signs along the

.railroad, wete killed. In addition, during

the first six months-of this year, J-u trc

they favored the Improved Button for the

able, although its beauty was not equal to

ter as did Howard Hoffman who accom­

panied the committee on its visit to Cam­

an Fred abruptly, “and I promise (althfully not to impose on your good

i “ Unless by proxy," interposed

(Thornton.

, “Exactly, and if you'll only help m e

out to-night, John, I 'll never ask such

» "W ell— yes,” answered Thornton,

reluctantly, “ that is, i( Mariau sub­

irite waa terribly ‘put out' the other time, and made no effort to conceal

her displeasure

j “ I must please Annt Sarah, John,

and you know why,” retorted Fred,

Irritably, “and you aiao know that »he disapproves of Marian.”

i “She wouldn’t 1( she knew her,*

retorted Thornton, warmly. Then

(rith assumed indifference, he said:

i “Who i« thia Miss Gordon? De­

scribe her."? “She’s a New York girl, but I can’t

describe her, John. She’s dazzling.”

Thornton looked quizzically at

Benton, then said, seriously; i “1 hope you’re not (ailing a victim

to Miaa Gordon’s charms. Fred. You

know what a susceptible (ellow you

are. I t would break Marian's heart

I I you ahould desert her."

“ I hope I ’m not auch a brute," gnickly retorted Fred, remembering

bright, that fcsd (or aome time held

him a willing captive, and vowing to himself -that nothing would ever

customed work.' Reaching home at laat a(ter a tiresome day he (ound

Miss Gordon more (aacinating than

wer. The evening was an enchanted

trac, and Fred found his aunt's guest

Irholly irresistible.

| As the days went by Marian re­

ceived (ewer calls and more and more apologies, until, at last, they ceased

to be necessary. Fred did not allow

* himself to think of his unmanly treat­ment o( the girl who had been so

dear to him, and was blind to a ll

future consequences. He also went

less (requently to Thornton’s office, for Thornton’s evident disinclination

|to discuss Miss Gordon irritated him. r One a(ternoon, arriving home ear­

lier than usual, he (ound Miss Gor­

don at the piauo, singing. Fascinat­

ed, he stood in the doorway and .watched her, and she, catching sight

o( him , nodded and smiled Invitingly.“ Katherine, sweetheart," he said,

■o(tly, going towards her.Instantly, the (rlendly smile van­

ished, and rising, she said in her cold­est and haughtiest tone:

“ Did you speak to me, Mr. Ben­

ton?"

Bewildered and Intensely mortified,

Fred left the room in a storm of in- idignant love. He resolved to return ito Marian and to (orget the tantaliz­in g woman who had allured him (rom love, (rlend and business.

ThaC evening (ound him waiting Again in the little parlor where he

^iad so o(ten waited be(ore, and he (hoped that Marian was as miserably

unhappy as himself. She was much (longer than usual in coming, and

jwhen she did come it was hard to

believe that the was the same Marian. The shy, trusting girl who used to jblush beneath his ardent gaze met Itim to-night with a cold serenity more

ga lling than reproach. She treated jhlm with snch polite indifference that

jthe eloquent speech he had prepared .was (or got ten.

| As the clock on the mantel chimed

ithe hour of 8, sbe asked h im to ex­cuse her, pleading an engagement..

'As she moved toward the door, Fred reached it first, and said:

"Surely, we are not to part like

th is, Marian. Let us (orget tbe past few weeks, dear. You know you

love rce, and— "“I do not love you, Fred Benton,

broke in Marian, emphatically.

“Since when. M arian?”“Since I found you unworthy of

my love. I learned to love you and I have also learned— to despise you.

“ Is there no thought of the past sufficiently powerful to make you

more k ind?”“None, Fred,” ahe answered, sadly.

his hope was almost confidence, atlll

ho hesitated.At last the desired oppbrtunlty ar­

rived. Katherine was sitting before the open fire, gazing Into the (lancing

flames aa If she would read her future

Fred eloquently pleaded his cause As she listened, Katherine’s face

wore an incredulous smile, which

gradually changed to a look of sor­row.

I ’m sorry for you," she said in

answer, “ but I 'm engaged to Mr,

Thornton.”“To John Thornton'" exclaimed

Fred ln astonishment. “ I didn't know

that you knew each other."

“ We met at Marian Richards'," re­

If we are sincere, we ought not to

overlook the (act that the scholar, as

such, has no position in public opin­

ion which corresponds to the value

o( hia achievement, and to the mental

energy which he needed (or It. The

foreigner (eels at once this difference

between the Americans and the Eu­

ropeans. The other day we mourned

the death of Simon Newcomb. There

seems to be a general agreement that

astronomy Is tbe one science ln which

America has been in the first rank ot

the world, and that Newcomb waa

the greatest American astronomer.

Yet his death did not bring the

slightest ripple o( excitement.

The death o( the manager o( the

pro(e88ional baseball games inter­

ested the country by (ar more. Pub­

lic opinion did not show the slightest

consciousness o f an incomparable 1088 at the hour when the nation’a

greatest scholar closed his eyes. And

Down in the State o( Georgia they

bave peach orchards where one can

walk a mile in a straight line and not

get beyond the end o( a row o( peach trees. After the Civil War any one

could go through the same country and see nothing but cornfields. Now

more peaches are produced on the

Georgia soil than ln any other portion

of the United States, with the possible

exception of California. This revolu­tion In horticulture was brought about

by a Connecticut Yankee. J. H. Hale a3 a boy began his start in life by

carrying fru it and truck in baskets to

Hartford, Conn., and selling It (rom

house to house. He finally accumu­

lated enough money to plant a Uttle

orchard ot his own In tbe suburbs ot Hartford on ground that people said was unfit (or any crop. Hale thought

differently, and when his orchard

grew (rom an acre to over a hundred

acres an9 bis income (rom the peaches to thousands of dollars a

year, they realized that they had

been mistaken.— Bookkeeper.

By A. No. t .

One evening, after being driven out

from under tbe "Overland L im ited,"

we climbed Into a box car loaded wltb

lumber on a 'freigh t going Bast We closed the door, and after pulling some ot the lumber against lt In

auch a fashion that the brakeman

looking for a rake-off (a dollar tax

levied on tramps by train crews) couldn't open It, we laid ourselves upon the lumber. Soon the train

began to get under headway, and at

each jo lt ot the trucks, up and down, sideways and croasways, tbe lumber

would (ollow suit, only a little harder,

as be(ore it had time to settle, a(ter

each jo lt, the next one would send lt flying again Into the air.

Poor Bobby! This was his first ex­perience as a boi-car tourist. He

had otten oomplained to me a(ter

about the sand, cinders and rocks that

were hitting him , but this ride was B

new experience, and he groaned: “ Oh,

A No. 1, 1 wish we £ould get out of

this forsaken old rattlebox. Let’s

get off at the next stop and take the

in tho deserts passenger trains make

mighty few stops, and that we m ight

have to wait a week or longer a t a

make short work o( us should they

catch us after dark. Only by thus

scarlne him could I persuade him tp

wait until we reached the end of the division. The very next day, after

being driven off at a lone water tank,

we were forced once more to take a

freight car.

We (ound this one loaded with

large lump coal. Here poor Bobby suffered agony, because the coal, be­

ing packed solid to the floor, exactly

responds to every jo lt the springs ot the car make, and as this kind ot a

e RGTTY T H I N G S

TO 'WEARLarge hats are the rule for evening

wear.

Sleeves have a decidedly fuller tendency.

Silks are more prominent than for many oeasons.

The waist line has been lowered but the tiniest bit.

Tho cuirass gown has seen ita best days and is on the wane.

Contrasting facings are a feature of the latest winter bats.

The daintiest new hatpins are head­ed with Irish, crochet lace.

Tight fittlbg and stiffly boned basques are again imminent.

Embroidery appears on many of the charming n6w stockings.

Lace trimm ing on hats w ill be com­bined with much furry material.

Eyelet embroidery has more or less takeu the place of net for blouses.

Small bows are replacing the large ones for tying the young girl's hair.

Lynx, black fox and pointed fox are

best tn small furs for general wear.

Glace gloves w ill be worn more

than the suede with evening costumes this season.

Jet trimm ing upon frocks of sap­phire, hue is one of the many varia­tions of the hour. .

The large hat is being restricted to dress occasions; small hats are in sway for all ordinary wear.

Skirts, while cut on broader lines,

still retain more or lesr the sheath

effect. The sllhoutee is almost ex­

actly the same as it was last season.

Coats are still semi-fitting, but the

cut has changed. Tbe backs are nar­row and flat and the skirt of the coat

is almoi£ as close-fitting as the dress over which it is worn.

A very pretty finish for the simple felt hat Is a band of wide soft satin ribbon looped at one side, The ends

which hang below the brim of the hat are finished with tassels.

Orange, the exact shade of the fru it is one of the most fashionable colors. I t is alluring in paune velvet for tho long m ilitary cape, which is jgetting in fashion every day.

Ruffling for shirt waists w ill be

worn mucb this fa ll. This in a meas­ure is due to the low-cut coat. These

ruffllngs, which are detachable, are made of tucked net, batiste or sheer linen.

The fashion for bloomers for the small girl is an increasingly popular

one and nowadays each (rock is ao>

companied by its nether* garments

Salt as a Medicine,

I have in the past seven or eight

years found the advantage of putting

a little salt in all the water I drink.

I also put a little salt, with sugar and

m ilk , in every cup of tea, coffee or

cocoa I use.

I have been a resident in the trop­

ics (or over (orty years, and exccpt

(or a sprained ankle have not had oc­

casion to call in a doctor or to take any medicine in the last thirty years.

I believe every one's health in the

tropics would be vei? much better if

he used more salt. I find the benefit

of drinking a tumbler of cold water

with a little salt In it every morning

on rising at about 5 o ’clock, before

m y bath or cup of cocoa, which I usu­

ally take between 5.30 and 6.

I f people could be induced to try

the easy and cheap method of taking

a little common salt with the water they drink they would in tbe general­

ity of cases find that they would sel­

dom require other medicine.— F. Kf. Burn, in Chambers’ Journal.

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS

Christmas is upon us. It is the fes­

tiva l of the home and the season when

the hearts of the lathers are turned to

the children and the feet o f the ch il­

dren turn back to tbe homes whence I

they went out. Little ones hail i t s ,

coming with exuberant gladness, and

older people enter into its festivities;

with subdued pleasure, in which mem- j

ones of home behind and hopes of the

home ahead are strangely mingled

with present joys. W hat a time it is

fbr cultivating domestic affections and

invigorating the virtues which root

themselves in these loves! Whence

came our Christian homes? They are

not found in pagan lands—dwelling

places are there, but not homes. Nor

are they found in lands where Chris­

tian iuflnences are feeble and Christian

institutions are formal— there are

lodgings and eating houses. The idea

of home comes from him who, though

homeless upon the earth, hath set the

solitary in families—from him of

whom the whole family in heaven and

earth are named.

Accordingly, at this season our

doors should be wide open to his com-1 ing in , and nothing else admitted!

which would shut h im out. He knows |

bow to enter in a festival occasion, I

and sympathizes with human joy as!

really as w itl^ human sorrow. H is

presence at our feasts w ill not dimin- j

ish their gladness, but exalt their sat- i

isfaction. And now; while merriment |

reigns in all our homes, let us invite

him to sup with us. Let the children

play with the babe of Bethlehem;

among them, while the angels of Beth -!

lehem sing over them. Let the youth­

ful keep company with the earnest'

obedient boy of Nazareth. Let them

who come into the Christmas season i

out of life's busy cares cq'nie apart I

with him to rest awhile umf be fed by

his hand.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last, few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci­ence has proven catarrh to be a constitu- ional di.sease and therefore requires con­stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F . J .

The New Postal Cards

Designs for the new postal curds to be

issued by Ihe government have been ap'

proved by Postmaster Hitchcock. The

cards will be furnished to the postoffice

department by the government printing

office, in accordance with u contract ef­

fective on January f, 1010.

On the ordinary card the head of the

late President McKinley appears,

now, but a much better likeness has been

selected. On the new .small curd, intend­

ed fo;* index purposes and for social cor­

respondence, a likeness of President Lin­

coln will appear. The 2-cent Internation­

al card will bear a portrait of 'General

1 Grant.

An innovation has been nude for the

double, or reply, postal card. On the

| first half will appear a purtrait of George

j Washington, while thc stamp on the sec-

i ond, or reply bulf, will be a likeness of

| Martha Washington. The borders of the

j stamps on all of the cards will be diver-

j sified in design.. On ull the cards the

words "Postal Card,” required by the

Universal Post Union Convention, will

appear on the borders of the stump, and

not, as now, as a separate inscription.

The paper to be used is the best for the

purpose yet manufactured. It will be

more attractive thaii the paper used in

the present cards and will "take ink" bet­

ter than thp paper now employed.

Long after Carbia had hurried

away, hot and happy, Glynde and Hll gay stood silently looking in to theli

clear them away I t w m on the stroke o f 12, and he waa keen on

nothing but bed.They called up two hansoms.

"This is the first time you and I are

not going to be pitted against each

other, after a ll."“ No. and It's the flrst game yon and

I have ever drawn.”In Glynde's heart there was a feel­

ing of great compassion for Hilgay,

and in H ilgay’* a feeling of great compassion for Qlynde.— Richmond

Tlmes-Dlspatch.

By COSMA HAMILTON.

Qlyode and Hilgay, whose friend­ship puts that of David and Jonathan

.to the right about, were fated to be

pitted against each other in every-

thing.They cemented their friendship by

blacking each other’s eyes when

Glynde was nine and Hilgay ten,

They both played cricket. .Hilgay’s

most brilliant Innings (or Cambridge

were stopped at 99 by a magnificent catch by Qlynde, of the Oxford eleven.

Naturally enough, it came to pass

tha t Qlynde and Hilgay fell In love with the same girl. At least, that is

only my way of putting i t Glynde

and Hilgay would tell you. lf they

liked you well enough to discuBs the

matter with you, that they were in

love with tbe only girl in the world. Men in love are never accurate.

There was, to both of them, a touch

of tragedy about this last coincidence. They were dining ln town together

on an off evening to see the “Man of

Many Collars," a t the Alhambra after-

wards.W ith something of blatancy Hilgay

had said, “ Jack, I'm in love."

Jack Glynde put down bis cigar and

turned very pale.

“ I don’t believe you. I t ’s— it ’s ab­surd."

‘'Absurd? Good heavens, why?"

said Hilgay.

“ Because I am , too, and we’re dead

two men. For a moment they sat

looking at each other, superstitious

horroT in the eyea ol both. Neither

dared to ask what was her name.Qlynde waited for Hilgay to give

the name and H ilgay for Glynde. At last they made a simultaneous move­

ment. Their theatre tickets were in

their pockets, but, with that tacit

understanding which dan only exist between bosom friends, they turned

away from the Alhambra and made

for the Embankment. Each felt that

air was a necessity. The Embank­ment is the only place in London

where it can he found.

For a n 'h o u r , arm-in-arm, they

paced the flagstones. Sometimes Qlynde’s hand would close hard on

Hilgay’s arm, as though to say,

"Whatever happens, old man, nothing

matters,” and sometimes Hilgay would squeeze Glynde's hand tight

against his riba, and Glynde knew

tha t be was saying, “Whoever she is,

old man, we are pals to the end." I t Is well said that the love of one man

(or another passes the love of woman.

These two never really knew wbat the ir friendship meant until the

woman came into their lives.

W ith a sudden inspiration Hilgay took out half-a-crown.

“Heads or tails, Ja ck ?” he said.‘•Heads!” said Jack,

Teddy Hilgay uncovered. I t was tails.

“You must tell me her name, old m an,” he said. Glynde cleared his

throat, took Hilgay’s arm , and started

walking away from the Embankment a t four miles an hour towards the Ox­ford and Cambridge Club.

On the steps of the club Glynde made a mighty effort.

“Enid Allerton," he said, and then looked sharply round at Teddy. He

saw a wave of blood fly into his face, and felt his arm tremble.

“Good L ord !” said Hilgay.

“Why, what’s the Joke? W hat’s your girl's name?”

“Enid Allerton, ' said Hilgay.

“ Good heavens, isn't the world largo enough for us both?" Glynde's

face was twitching and his eyes

biased. “W hat have we done? W hat’s the matter with us? W hat’s wrong

w ith the world? Why, in heaven’s aame, should we always come np

against each other? Do you hear? W hy tbe blazes can’t you fall in love

long way. He suddenly caught Hil- gay's calculating eye.

And then Teddy ran over Jack.

“Not a dog's chance againat a man like Jack,” thought Hilgay. “Look

at tbat nose, those eyes and that hair

— and the way he tana is simply im ­mense. By gad, too. I never noticed

before what awfully decent hands and feet he’s got."

Thus both men sat, running up a

long list of the other’s .qualifications which each considered’he did not pos­sess.

“ Who is to propose flrst?" aald Glynde abruptly.

“Spin a coin,” said Hilgay.

Glynde laughed. “ W hat? Even In th i* case?”

“W hy not? We’ve always done it hitherto."

“Very well, old man. And If you

Entertaining a Prejudice.

Of th- occupations known to jnen, entertaining a prejudice Is the most absurd. Yet the practice is almost universal.

Tbe prejudice is usually uninvited. He comes in quietly, remove*; his ha t and coat, saunters up to the guest chamber, and prepares to become a permanent feature of the estab­lishment You entertain h im royally, strain him to your bosom, exhibit him proudly to every one, fight for him , de­fend him, and perpetuate him . You do pot even adm it that he la present. “I entertain a prejudice?" you say, with be­coming ooncern. “Never!"

Birds of a feather flock together. I t there {ore happens that if there is one prejudice present, there are others. They always come In unawares, and take their places silently and unobtrusively. But ob, bow tbey hang together in an argument!

A group of prejudices is invincible. They have never been beaten.

The strange part of prejudices is .that one would th ink they would prefer more commodious quarters. But no, tbe narrower tbe mind, the more content they are. They don ’t m ind close quarters. The closer the better.

Prejudices are always busy. If they are not tampering w ith oue'i, eyesight, they are screening the m ind from the open; putting blinds on, and making it dark enough to sleep in comfortably.

A man can get Insured against almost anything else but prejudices. He can insure himself against flre and water acd loss of life and accidents and depreciation in his prop­erty. But there is no company so fortified tha t it would take the risk of Insuring against prejudice. And then no man weuid ever th ink o ' taking out any insurance against one, be­cause lie would never admit that he had it. Tbe prejudice himself fir.63 that. Tbe first thing he does is to make tbe man thin!: he isn’t there.

That is why prejudices, co matter how much damage they cause to character, are never evicted. They have come to stay.— Lippincott’s Magazine.

A man called Carbis came in wear­ing evening dress and a bashful grin.

He had been at Eton with Glynde and at Christ Church with Hilgay. They

both disliked him intensely. For all

that, he was a very decent chap, play­ing tennis w ith the best of them, and

sang songs like an angel with a sense

of humor.

“Hallo, you chaps."

"H allo ,” said Glynde and Hilgay together.

•‘Jo lly night, isn’t It? "

“Jo lly ,” said Glynde.

“Very jo lly ,” said Hilgay.

I was much amused one day while examining the ducks tha t hung In

"Ob, those are river redheads; only

a dollar a pair, sir."I think that same clerk must be In

Toronto, for as I walk our principal

streets I see numerous pairs of these same "river redheads.” I t Is worse

And their way to the camp table.

Since we lost sight of the northern

migration early in May we had not

seen a redhead. They had gone far

north, by the marcby shores and on

the tufted prairies that edge the

Great Bear and Great Slave Lakes,

by the lonely Providence and Walms-

ley Lakes, where only the Beml-an-

nual passages of the Hudson’s Bay

men or the rude canoe of the Indian

trappers disturb the scene. Most of

the birds were mated ere they left

these southern lakes. Tbey had lin ­

gered on the migration, held by the

immense submarine beds of wild cel­

ery that carpet man yof our frontier

lakes.

To them the springtime in Canada must be a season or beauty. A ll the

old fam iliar Jakes and rivers, ponds

and bays, untenanted by tha t fearful

animal tha t each fa ll breathes forth

flre and smoke, and stinging wounds

and broken limbs from every clump

of flags, marshy point, and thick rice

beds. I wonder what theae birds

must think of man. I have seen

them feeding calmly on the lake

when the deer came in to drink. I

have watched them edge slowly away

when cattle suddenly emerged from

the cover, but let a m an step into the

scene and the silky gray wings soon

bear tbe bright red heads and snowy

canvasbacka of the birds far ofT into

safety.

Hawk, the Mississaugan guide, a l­

ways confused this breed w ith the

real canvasback. I had to point out

to him one day tbe different forma­

tion of the head. The latter bird’s

bas a long, sharp curve from head

crest to point of b ill, whereas the

redhead has what you m ight call a

high forehead.

It was late In September before the

first of these lordly birds arrived on

our southern tier of lakes. Our camp

had already pictured and flhot the

early bluebills, and my cameras were

set and my canoe concealed awaiting

their return. H igh overhead I heard a mighty rushing, tearing sound, as

if a great flame were surging above

me, tben the noise took on a rum­bling, rattling note tha t made me

think of distant trains or farmers’

wagons passing over rough roads.

Again it rushed and whistled, surged

fort on that low-lying shore to hid* me, and to ereet(,a placo of conceal­

ment for the camera*. AH waa done ere the light was clear enough to a*« the margin ot th* lake. V could

hear the birds arriving and settling far out. 1 knew their habit*. They

Intended to swim slowly in. Then

when they were certain that no ene­my lingered near they would bask in

bappy content on that sun-parched

sand strip.The mass of birds did not like my

brush heap They a ll Bwam slowly past me and tipped up and dived for

the tiny particles of sand they use for

aid to digestion. The jrhole bunch

either squatted on the shore or slept on the calm water mithlu a hundred

yards of me. Patience always brings

Its own reward. One great drake,

with hia Ted head fairly aflame, under

tbe brilliant rays of the April sun,

his canvas back glittering like a snow

patch, his eyes shining like yellow

pointa of jewels, took a modest po­sition almost out of focus; once when

he raised his head in alarm I shot the

machine. H is haste to leave that

sunny shore was neither graceful nor

becoming.Once tbe seemingly insatiable maw

of the camera is satisfied the guns

and our interior departments call

loudly for w ild ducks, and there Is no

family among the twenty-four that

visit this province tba t offers better

sport than the big redheads. A t the

first of the season they are unusually

foolish, decoying to anything. 1 have

seen them curve down t| several

black pieces of wood that were cur­

rent-swept from the river bog, but as

the shooting days shorten there is no

bird more wary. That rich call of

theirs, "Ki-yak, ki-yak,” the low pur­

ring notes they uao when in close comradeship, tbe wonderful diving

power they possess— this is uncannifir

strengthened when tbe b ird is wounded. O f all the water snakes to

chase, a wounded redhead beaFe the

palm. The legend of them clinging

to the weeds below and drowning

themselves is all rot. W ben the

wounded bird, ln ita intense desire to

escape ita pursuers, dives beneath

tbe surface, it opens ita wings, and,

aided by these, used almost aa ln

flight, swims rapidly along. The

hooking of the wings in this subma­

rine work offera a flne place for weeds

to lodge on. The passing bird drags

tbese from tha lr moist rootage if she

can. I f not, ahe endeavors to shake

them off. I f the poor bird i8 unable

to do this, ahe drowns tbprc— weed-

entangled.

Fritz brought in a very choice bag,

nine redheads, a big enough day’s

work for any man, but I fancy that

the natural height of the lake was

raised by the outpouring of ahot, as

I would hardly dare to tell you how

many ahellB the fat boy took to h ill

these nine. Five shells to a bird is a hunter's rule. Tho noise from hia

‘bide” reminded me of a steady bat­

tle. He admits he used eighty shells;

in fact, the word shell has a rankling

effect on his happy nature. Once, in

days gone by, when he was greener

than he is now, I had secured a lucky

point, and had some very fair shoot­ing, but as I was just about ou t of

ammunition, I signalled for Fritz.

He came with all the caution of the

amateur hunter, making a noise like

devastating wind ln tho brush.

Then I called for a couple of hand­

fuls of shells and waved him back

Into cover, as I saw the next flock ap­

proaching. Fifteen minutes later,

just as I had rammed the laBt two

shells in to my gun, I heard his fat

voice gasping, "Here they are, s ir !"

Dr. J. A. Anderson, professor of

astronomy In the Johns Hopklus Uni­versity, in giving hla view* regard­

ing the statement made by Professor W illiam Henry Pickering, of Har­

vard, that the planet Mars can be

communicated with by a sat of mir­

rors, said:*•1 really do not think tbat Profes­

sor P ickerings statement has been

received In the light that it waa in­tended As It stands, It is perfectly

plausible, but as for th* actuality of ever communicating with tbe planet,

aa M Camille Flammarlon aays, that

is another question.“ I t la highly poastble to construct

an arch of sufficient intensity to con­

vey a beam of light to Mars. A light

aa strong as that of the sun jrou ld

carry to the planet, so that if we can

construct a reflector strong enough to send sunlight in .Us original

strength through the heavenr, the

problem so far will have been solved.

"W hether or not there would be

anybody or any form of life on the star to signal us back again is an­

other question. There fa certainly

no evidence now of any auch a fact.

W hile the theory of the planet being

habitable l a , generally accepted,

whether, it Is inhabited bas never

been solved, and at present there are

no indications that it will be solved,

a t leaat ln the near future."Supposing the planet is inhabited,

although the concensus of opinion *

here Is negative, is it logical to sup­

pose tbat the Martiana would be

ready to take or notice a message

just at a time corresponding to that

wben it was sent from the earth? Aa

Is well known. Mars is practically the only planet that ahowa any signs ot

being physically habitable. I t has an

atmosphere of ita oyn , and. more­

over, is capable of being studied, which cannot be said of Venus, which

is even closer to the earth. That

planet’s face ia never seen, being cov­

ered with dense clouds. I t Is not known what the temperature of Mars

may be, or whether or not It would

support life. Professor Everett Low­e ll, director of Lowell Observatory,

haa done much work on the study of Mars, and has reached the conclusion

that It la both habitable and in­

habited."This is a question which may be

Bolved in the future. but-SQ far as

Professor Pickering's recent state­

m ent goes, 1 w ill say again that I

think It has been taken tP mean more than its author intended, exceeding

the scope of ita patent plausibility.’'

A grim ly humorouB illustration of

one of the results to the litigant may be found in another New York law

suit which reached a final chapter

recently in the Court ot Appeals. It was a complex case against an insur­

ance company on some policies of in­

surance. and each time It was tried It

took from a week to two weeks’ at»

tention of court and jury. Owing to

reversals and new trials ordered by appellate courts, it had to be tried

nice times. I t was in the courts from

1882 to 1902. The plaintiff became

at last so sick and disheartened with

his interm inable law suit that he

abandoned it, reused to go to his

lawyers to consult with them about

it or to appear when the case was

being tried. The lawyers has them­selves spent over $4600 on fighting

the case, and had worked on it tor

nearly twenty years. Their client

having abandoned them, they settled the case for $30,000, and took the

money tttemselves for their fee. The

last chapter of the litigation was an

unsuccessful attempt by the receiver in insolvency of the plaintiff to make

the lawyers give up some of thetr fee

to their client's creditors. How much

the twenty years' delay ln the law

suit had to do w ith tha t insolvency

it is impossible to say; but such an

outcome, to the lay m ind, seems hard­ly satisfactory as a result of twenty

years ot litigation, of nine trials, and

seventy-two days' time of over a

hundred jurors.— The Atlantic.

to be only from eight to twelve cents

Take the waste aa being one-half of

the amount paid, and it amounts to

over 280 millions of dollars, whleh

would be saved.by the existence ot good roads. W ith our population of

80,000,000 people this loss amounts

to $8.50 for every man. womau and

child In the country every year, or a

handicap to our citizenship of $100

per capita.

It la further found tbat good roada

appear to have a strong effect on the educational qualification ot the peo­

ple. In four StateB with a high per­

centage o f good roads (30,65 per

cent.) the percentage o f white illit­

eracy Is only 0.34 of one per cent.,

while In four other States which have

few good roads (1.51 per cent.) the

percentage of white illiteracy ia 4.76 per cent. I t may be claimed that the

relation of cause and effect may bo

an Inverted one, but whether bad

roads are the result of ignorance, or Ignorance the .result of bad roads, the

fact remains that they are closely

allied.

I t is Invariably the case, when a

good road is constructed through any section o f agricultural country, the

farms begin to assume a finer and better aspect. Buildings are painted,

fences renewed, better horses, vehi­

cles and farm machinery are pro­

cured, and the farm houses and

farms take on on atmosphere ot thrift and prosperity. I t may not be

putting it too strongly to assert that

the means for this advancement

comea from the saving made in mar­

keting the crop. A small farmer may

have of crops which he sells, thirty

tons to*take to market. His supplies

i may amount to six tons, making thlr-

j ty-slx tons in all for a year. At the

j average distance of nine miles at

] twenty-five cents per ton per mile, the

cost will be $81 for the marketing of

; the year. I t can be readily seen that

; when good roads are constructed,

and a ha lf of this amount saved, a

good deal of paint can be spread and

many elements ot Improvement pnt

into operation. When this is done

the social natures ot the people begin

• to develop and a broader and a bet­ter intelligence results.— Good Roade

The Cost of Administration.

In the building ot highways much

attention must always be given to

the economy of administration.

There is a tendency on the part of

, some newspapers throughout the

country to criticise this department

| of tbe work, but they rarely give suf

ficlent data for tho formulation of

reliable statistics.A recent publication states that in

a certain State a "careful examina­

tion made from the orders issued for

a period of one year, shows conclu­

sively tbat only sixty per cent, of the

appropriation was actually expended

on the roads, the other forty per cent, representing, tho administration and

supervision.” This amount seems en­

tirely out of proportion. Many prac­

tical road makers figure on a profit of ten per .cent. In contracting, and

an amount equivalent to fifteen per

cent, to cover tho expense of engi­neering, supervision and all incidental

Vocation-Teaching.

By W ILLIAM T. M ILLER. 1

In every high school there shorn it

be a vocatlon-teaeher, whose duties

m ight be briefly outlined as follows;*

Before the opening of school every

new pupil must have a private Inter­

view with the vocation-teacber on the

subject of his ideas for the future.

Some have a pretty definite idea of what they want to do. If their tair

ents agree wltb th e ir desires, the vo- cation-teacher gives them permission

to elect the courses that will put them

on tbe right track. I f as is so often;

the case, the new pupil has no idea

of his wants or capabilities, the vo-

cation-tearher tries, by Questioning

and experiment, to assist the pupil In coming to some decision aud getting

upon the right track* I f for any rea­son a decision is temporarily impos­

sible, the pupil is given a selection of

courses designed to be of some prac­tical value in any line he may after­

wards take up.jW hen the actual school work Is

unde*way, the vocation-teacher keeps

in touch with every pupil toy

means ot continued personal Inter­

views. in whleh the pupil s increasing: Interest or growing distaste, as the

case may be. are discovered. Be­sides this. written reports ot progress

and expressions of opinion are due a t regular ' Intervals from the pupil.

When the pupil is losing iutereat, the

vocation-teacher may ordef a new choice of courses; he may even advise

the pupil's transfer to &n entirely d if­

ferent kind of school. This super­vision Is to follow the pupil closely through the whole cou*e .— The A t­
