The | dogs were not allowed to tarry then | and then scarcely needed the warning | of the anxious driver and feeble suf- ferer. The second day out sixty miles more was made, and that brought the travelers to Dominion Creek. From there it was a good road, and Dawson | was reached. HIS REWARD FOR HEROISM. Young Engineer Who Saved Probably 2,000 Lives Now Physical Ruin. Paralyzed in body, and every move- | ment declaring wrecked nerves and manhood destroyed, a Mr. Albert | Houston, a first-class mechanical en- gineer, who two years ago left an en- | gineering establishment in Toronto to | take up work in connection with the construction of the Panama Canal has | arrived at his home in Toronto. The story which accounts for the trans- formation of an able-bodied man into such an object of pity is told in a few words. About three months ago Houston was superintending the con- struction of a dam on the Charles | River, and which was intended to di- vert the watercourse while the main | channel of the eanal was being pre- pared in the river's original bed. A portion of the embankment gave way and Houston, thrusting himself in | the breach and exerting all his strength to support the weak piles, prevented the enlarging of the break | and the awful consequences that would have foll to the 2,000 workmen busy below in the valley. For hours he remained in his strenu- | ous position, shouting for help while his strength gradually ebbed. In the end engineers came who saved the dam and the 2,000 workmen, but Houston was borne away helpless. Where Science Pauses, "Alaska baffles science," says F. C. Miles, who has spent much of his life in that country, writing in The Wash- ington Post. "1 have known scientists | to go into that country with the most | plausible theories in the world, but | they went out of it with none of them | left. It is impossible for them to ex- | | plain the frozen condition of the ground for a distance of 280 feet down | into the earth or to account for the finding there of giant mastodons and mammothé. I' have seen ivory tusks | taken out of the ground that measur- | ed twenty feet, and the skulls of ! these animals were bigger than a| | forty-shilling pot. There are impres. | | sions of ferns to be found that show | the vegetation to have been a hun- | dred feet high. Among all these evi- { dences of animal life, however, there | is not a sign of the existence of man. | | What amuses me is the way. the so- | | called scientists approach Alaska. | { They assume _3o have explinations for | evarythingff nature; but the moment | | they get up into Alaska and see the | { wonders of the earth there and are | | interrogated by the practical miners | | who have lived there for years all| | their ideas vanish." i i i Canada's Frontiers. | | In the House of Lords recently, | !

Cedard, has been chatting to a journalist upon the most favored by the royal family. "It is difficult to say which is the tavorite dish," he remarked, "but I think oysters weuld make a very bold bid. These are served to their Royal Highnesses almost daily. "As a rule, however, both the Prince and Princess prefer plain dishes, with a predilection for the French cuisine, as compared with the English, while the time-table of the day's meals is: Breakfast at ... Lunch at .. Tea at .... Dinner at . "After a visit to the theatre or the opera," continued M. Cedard, "their Royal Highnesses simply have a light | supper. That is all "And the little princes? Ah, Prince Edward, Prince Albert, and Princess Victoria lunch with the Prince and cassdinsairans 9.30 a.m. partake of breakfast with their tutors and goveérnesses. ; In the evening the little princes supper, no elaborate meal, but they wiches, a little game, or something of that kind." Then M. Cedard suddenly thought of another delicacy liked both by the King and the Prince of Wales. "This is caviare.,"" he said, "but, as is the case with the oysters. it has to. pass the doctor. "He has to satisly himself that everything is pure be- fore it is allowed to reach' the royal table." ' DEBTORS GO TO JAIL. | Statistics Say That In England, Im | prisonment for Debt Is Increasing. | It will come ag a surprise to many | | people that imprisonment for debt in | England is steadily increasing. Fig- ures demonstrating this are given in Part II. of the Civil Judicial Statis- ties for 1906. just issued. During that year 11,427 debtors were imprisoned in England and Wales, as against | 11,006 in the previous year, and the he five years including 1905. Twenty years before 1905, the report states, there were only about one-third as many war | rants of commitment issued and about | | one-half as many debtors imprisoned. | There was an increase in 1906 of | petitions for divorce -- 752 as against | 720 in 1904--but the figures were not | so large as in 1902 and 1903, when | they were 880 and 824 respectively, | Of the 752 petitions in 1906, 323 were | presented by wives, as against 429 | in 1904. Decrees nisi were grgnted to in 362 cases. The total number of appeals, ac | tions, ete., heard and determined in | all the civil courts of the country. | during 1905 was 479,165, against 497. | 834 in 1904. Of these, however, coun- ! | ty courts were responsible for 472,123 and 480,929 respectively. In the sec- | tion devoted to probate matters it is incidentally mentioned that the total wealth of private persons in the | United Kingdom in 1905 liable to death duties was computed at £7. During 1906 the gross value of estates admitted to probate was £261,110,000. Maori Legends, Many of the old Maori tales have to do with a-mythical monster, called "Taniwha," usmally described as a great lizard or crocodile, although it has been many centuries since any of the Polynesian race can have had di- rect knowledge of the existence of such an animal. This is the legend of the two Taniwhas, the guardian mon- sters of the two Maori tribes; one on the east coast, and one on the west coast of the North Island of New Zea- land in very ancient times. The Taniwha living in the Bay of Islands once went a-roving to see a bit of the world, and swam around the North Cape to the west, where he was hos- | pitably entertained. | The wandering Taniwha professed to be very grateful for the hospitality and kind attention shown to him, and | when his visit was ended he pressed | the other to accompany him home. | The guileless and amiable west coast Taniwha accepted the invitation, and away the two Friends swam around the | North Cape and down the east coast to the Bay of Tslands. The roaming | Taniwha was a perfidious villain. He lured his confiding guest to' a place where the Maoric had spread a great net, and the visitor was eaught, drag- ged ashore and killed by the people, | who made a great feast of the carcass. Tha New Theology. The Rev. R. J. Campbell being an- nounced to preach at Burslem, the Rev. H. M. Redgrave, a local clergy- took the somewhat unusual was in these terms: "I, the vicar of St. Paul's Parish, Burslem, desire it to be known that as an orthodox Christian 1 emphatically protest against the visit to my parigh of the | author of the New Theology, which is | regarded by all orthodox Christians as | anti-Christian and heretical; and 1 | regret that his visit is to be utilized to raise funds for any Christian place of worship in Burslem.--(Bigned) Hyma M. Redgrave." However well | intended, the protest seems to have | miscarried, for although admission | to the Burslem Drill Hall, where the | serinon was delivered, involved con- | tribation of anything from 6d to 2a | 6d towards the funds of a néw Oon- | gregational Chureh, something like a | thousand people were present. ------ a ---- ~ f Old Time Capital Crimes. | In England during the sixteenth | century stealing above the value of ! twelve pence, burning a haystack, killing or stealing sheep, breaking a dike or bridge, breaking a bank of a | fish pond, cutting down @ tree in an | orchard and the malicious tearing or | defacing of the garments of a person | 1, 7, 7, 6 (the year of the Declaration | ~ of Independence) is 21.--Minneapolis(] in the street were all capital offenses snd were punished as sigh by death. | nn me---- Rideau Lakes--Ottawa.

It is no- torious that the vicissitudes of his belly never bring to him the fate upon whose verge he always lives and that nothing but strychnine, and not al- ways that, will bring an end to his forlorn career. As his gray back moves slowly along above the reeds and coarse grass and he turns his head to look at you. he knows at once whether or not you have with you a gun and you can- not know how he knows. Once satis- fied that you are unarmed, he will remain near in spite of any vocal remonstrances, and by-and-by may proceed to interview you in a way that for unobtrusiveness might be taken as .a model of the art. Lie down on the thick brown earpet of the wilderness and be still for 20 minutes, and watching him from the corner of your eye, you will see that he has been joined by others of his brethren hitherto unseen. He seems to be curious do know, first, if you are dead, and, second, if by any chanco---and he lives upon chances-- there is anything else in your neigh- borhood that he might find eatable. If you pass on with indifference. which is the usual way, he will sit himself down upon his tail on the near. est knoll and loll his red tongue and leér at you as one with whom he is half inelined to claim acquaintance. He looks and acts then so much like a grey dog that one is inclined to whistle to him. Make any hostile de- monstration and he will move a little further and sit down again. If by any means you manage to of- fend him deeply at this juncture the chances are that he and his com- {'rndes may retire still further.and then | bark ceaselessly until they have hoot- ed vou out of the neighborhood. That night he and some of his companions | may come and steal the straps from | your saddle, the meat from the frying pan--and politely clean the pan- and | even the boots from beside your lowly bod. GRAPES ARE PLENTIFUL, Prospects In Niagara Fruit Belt Are Very Good, Nothing so far has been published about the grape crop in the Niagara fruit belt, and it will be interesting to learn that the prospects for grapes A grape. grower said recently that this has been an exceptionally favorable spring for grapes, and the vines are looking exceptionally well now. "I may say that the grape indusery is in much better shape around here now than it was two or three years ago. Then it was beginning to look a ver} ser- ious matter for the grapes by reason of the fungus diseases which threaten- ed their destruction. Efficient spray- ing has, similarly to the case of the peach trees, saved the grape vines of the fruit belt, and now the qnly thing we have to fear is the weatfer. The grape rot is largely due to the wea- ther, it coming irom too much damp- Ness. Accordingly the Niagara district will | send out its usual four or five thous- and tons of grapes this year, as in former years. Speaking of the manner in which the Niagara fruit-growers are opening out trade in the Canadian west, a prominent grower remarked to your correspondent that last year 35 car- loads of fruit were shipped to the | west from here, whereas the previous year there were only seven cars sent out. Practically every kind of fruit was sent. Horse Chased by Engine. Chased by a locomotive for five miles, crossing half a dozen trestle bridges and finally tumbling from one 30 feet into a river bed, and emerg- ing with one cracked rib and the loss of four shoes--that's the record that was made by an ordinary every day sort of a horse recently. One Pendrake is a poultry farmer in Davisville, Driving near the Don River, he was tempted by the cooling | waters and Taylor's Dam and went in for a swim, in the meantime un- hitching his horse and tying it to a nearby tree, One of the Canadian Northern On- | tario trains, northbound and shriek- | ing enthusiastically, came along and scared the equine, which, with asud- den jerk, broke loose. Curiously enough it tock the rail- way track for its speedway and sped away with the train in close pursait. Along the ties and over trestle bridges galloped the beast.
