BOYS DRIVEN TO SUICIDE By the Barrack Life of the Kaiser's Berlin, Dee, 30.--The suicide of schoolboys in-'Gefmany and Austria has become a problem of national importance latterly, the average working out at three tragedies a week. A volume from the pen of Han Ostwald attempts a solution in the appointment of resident school doctors, though the author traces the mischief more to mental than physical affection. German home life is indicted as representing the "all work and no play"standard of upbringing. Teach- ers and parents alike are placed in the pillory. Statistics show that the suicides invariably come at the end or beginning of a term, the victim in most cases having failed to ach- ieve promotion. How serious a mat- ter this is for the German boy few foreigners understand. It means ul timately that he may fail in his "go- ing away" examination, which in turn entails two years' service as a common soldier, whereas should he pass all that the state asks of him is one year as a 'gentleman cadet," living' out of barracks. Without a doubt the fear of these two terrible years in barracks--life in a German barracks has been ex- posed frequently--drives hundreds of boys to suicide. It is further suggested that some degree of comfort should be intro- duced into school life; prisoms, they say, are more agreeable at present. Taken en masse, German boys look upon life too seriously. "A rdce of morbid, nervous boys is springing up," and the Kaiser is called upon to mend matters. : ; Yards, Union.

Su Charlottetown, P.E.L. Dec. 30-- The province of Prince Edward Isi- and, being the birthplace 'of the great' confederation of Canada, has not forgotten that fact. With a view to due celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the first conference for the confederation of Canada, which was held in the colonial build- ing in Charlottetown in September 1864, the provincial government has decided to call a meeting of all per: sons interested, to be "held in the council chamber, Charlottetown, for the purpose of taking the necessary sleps to celebrate the historical went. a The general opinion here is that Charlottetown, having the distinc. clon of being the cradle of confeder: ation, it is fitting that the arrange- ments for the celebration should 'be on an elaborate plan and that noth ing be left undone to the end that the celebration shall reflect credit up- on the birthplace : of the Britisn: American union. The co-operation of the leading men of the different provinces will he asked, and everything will be done to make the proposal the great- 2st event of the kind ever held in the island province. The Charlotte: own' Exammer, in referring editor: ally to the project, says: "Remembering what was done in Charlottetown fifty-three years ago vhen 'the late King Edward VII, visited us as Prince of Wales. and what 'was done on subsequent oeca- dons, there can be no doubt. that he proposed celebration can be made worthy of the great event which it Wilk mark and worthy of the pro- vinee in which it will be held. If, ip he meantime, Premier Mathieson ind his colleagues should be. success. 'ul in recovering the representation n the house of commons that has ween lost to us by inadvertence, and If they should succeed in still fur. cher bettering the provinée's finan- cial condition, the preparations for the proposed celebration will be un. dertaken with the greatest zest and enthusiasm."

BLACK ROCK CANAL TO OPEN Will Mean Large Saving By Enabs ling Ships To Pass Rapids, Buffalo, N.Y., Dec. 30.--Buffalo vesselmen are looking forward to a grand opening of the new Black Rock canal at the beginning of navigation next spring. The new cement lock and approaching channels have been finished for some time, but delay hag been met in completing the Fer: ry street drawbridge. The opening of the new canal will mean a saving of thousands of dol lars to firms and docks doing busi ness with deep draft ships down Nia- gara river. These ships will enter the carl at Buffalo, pass through the lock at Black Rock. and thence out into Niagara river below the In: ternational bridge, and below all the rapids. It has been necessary here tofore for ships to shoot the rapids of Niagara river at Buffalo with only about two-thirds of a cargo, the draft being between 14 and 15 feet The firms were compelled to pay » higher rate on cargoes to make up for loss to vessels carrying short loads.

For some time the bull-fighting se nor has been sighing 'or a 'suitable adversary. He has told Toronto peo- ply who went to see him and 'ua magnificent shaven. wrists many things about himself which those neo- ple hoped to see proven. He has told how he handles the bull, but had not bad an opportunity to give a real de- monstration. R~cently he went down to the Union Stock Yards at West Toronto, and invited the cattle men to lead out their most ferocious speci- mens, but when the few bulls were led out they msde no pretences of wanting to fight the senor. The other day, however, Senor Ro- bles refused longer to be patient. If the bulls would not offer themselves, as it were, by their bellowings, then he would go out and look for thém himself. He obtained a motor car and took with him seveh of his staff, Finally the motor came to the Price Farm at Cooksville, where great herds of bovine animals are kept. Surely here could be found an enemy! The senor approached the manage ment. ' "Have you," he said, with distend- od chest--a fine chest--'have you of bulls any? Bulls of ferocit-ee? Bh? Show me! 1 would fight!" The hands led out Teddy, who has a bad eye and a reputation as a man eater, Teddy looked at the senor, who confronted him in the barn-yard as one might regard any stranger whe Called one away from a meal and then paused to state his business. The handsome bull binked and blew gread draughts of air from his nostrils, as with lowered head he toyed with a few blades of grass. Fight! Who said fight? He wasn" fooking for it, and -- But the sesor advanced, called an insulting e, and flashed the red shawl in the 's face. Something about that red cloth stirred vague impulses in the bull, faint hints of destruction. The man came back again and again, and with each return more ancient rage swell- éd up in the bull's throat. His eyes began to gleam. His breath came in shorter, more vigorous puffs, he paw- ed the ground, he switched his tail, he cast philosophy and dignity to the winds--and charged! But there was nothing to meet his charge. The man and the shawl van- ished--only to reappear 'at one side, with more personal abuse and miore wavings of the red. The bull charged again and again. He changed his tae- tics, made short rushes instead of long. Tried side-swiping. Tried turn ing quickly. But the man in frond of him only laughed and jeered, and did the most irreverent things in the face of the old fellow, One last rush, and the bull gave if up. "Go on," he said, or seamed to say. "Have you fun out. If it does you any good. I don't mind you waving the paltry plece of red in my face. What's the game? What are you sore at 'senor? As for me, I'm too stout for parlor games. Besides I'm likely to make a fool of myself--1 can see that right here, and ofie certainly has a reputation to keep up--among the herds." } They brought out a younger bull, but the senor outed him and twisted his tail. i The matador's honor was vindi- cated.
