A new metho'3 of promoting human endurance has been diBcovorcd.known as the oxygen tieatment. A test ia recorded in England, where a football teatn that was practically beaten at half time, siibmilted to ihu o.'iygen abiorption, went in and won the game iu llio last iialf. This plan opens up a world of po.sBibiliticB in vanous dircolious.

Even in Canada the newspapers devoted consideroblc space to this event, and with reason. Lincoln was too great a man to deserve alono the honor of his own country. His sympathies wore as broad as humaniiy, and wlierover his name is known throughout the civilized world, that name is held in vcaeration. Pity the Republic cannot l)roduco more such men. Tlicro has been but one Lincoln Woshington was the country, Linoolu was the inotber- onc father and one mother. A rcmi.. .iiisconl mcod of this nature remiiulH iiH that time is passing. Wo remem- ber distinctly the cry of iiorror that went up over the world when Lincoln population across tlio border is eighty millions, ours between six and seven millions. Both of these great wurks will be complotrd inside of live years. There is food for thought in this com- pavison, and Canada will not snfi'er by the contrast. 000 Ths .Stewart Tragedy Stewart, the insane man who niurdered .J.

I Old age pensions are receiving much attention now in England, and nn attempt is being made to popularize HomeMiing of a liko natnie in this country. Ho far as can bo judged here, the scheme ia not taken up by press or people with the enthusiasm If George \ tj,„); ^^g hoped for by tho government, father of his/ Ai, jdoa is abroad that the aim is rather to aid the government by supplying it with funds, rather than to assist old age, Most governments appear to be afraid to do anything that will liave a serablanee of compeiilion with exist- ing banking or insurance syfileius, and If thingi keep goinn tliB way they are heading, it will not he long before one • liird of tho schools in the country are closed for want of teachers, A few years auo Ilepworlli wanted a teacher, advertis- ed and had 175 application'.

Charjjed With Horse Stealing. As the result of a throat made by his wife in the polic court at Gwen Sound recently, Thomas H. Webb, a local fanner, has got himself into trouble. Webb's wife was giving evidence in a charge of as.s<uilt which .she brought .-igainst her husbjmd when she made a remark to the effect that she could put her husband in penitentiary if she cared to do so as he had stolen a lior.se and rig while he wa.s at Calgary during the summer. Cliief Mc.\uley was present when this statement was made and he immediately afterw.irds wrote to the chief of Police at Calgary and was infonncd that tlierc was a wiimint out for the ar- rest of Webb on charge of stealing a horse and rig. Chief McAuley was instructed to arrest Webb and an officer i.s at pres- ent on his way here from Calgary to take Webb hick to that phice. Webb appear- ed in the jiolice courton Tue.sihiy inoniing and was renunided. Webb admits hav- ing hire<l a horse and rig in Calgary and tlnit he [wiid 1?10 in advance and sst out to locjite. He declares that when ho was about two huiidrnl miles from Calgary the horse and rig fell over a precipice throe hundred feet high into tho Rosebud River. Ho had wrjjten to Calgary to that effect and had [iioiiiised to i)ay for the hi.ss.
