When the Union Parlflc was built, the first transcontinental line In the western hemisphere, the woid pub licity was rather restricted In mean ing, and the work of the publicity nifln was even more restricted. If Kansas and Nebraska, or Iowa and Illinois a generation earlier, had been as persistently kept before the eyes of the world as has western Canada In the last ten years, the development of those Slates would have been far more rapM. The reason for western Canada's rapid growth has not been because the land was better than any other, -ays the "Columbian Magazine." but because the people who wanted Just uch land were told where they could tet It and how.

How Chinese Trap Eagles. Thousands cf Chinese hunters trap wild eagles in Mongolia every year by the employment of tame eagles as de coys.

THE KAISER IN PALESTINE, Trace of HI Repeated Visit Every where Found by the Tourist. Wherever red roofa appear In Pal est'ne it betokens European lnvaaion. lied roofs are enroaehmenta of the modern advance guards of western "civilization." Many streets In Haifa might almost as a part of t Herman village. Tl o .'own of prim red roofed cottages, nc h In 'ts neat garden, are In no !(;;.fe Syrian. There were German 'n t harge of the carriages to Naza reth; there were Uenrian hotel, 'ven the American Consul was Her man. It la Impossible not to notice evU ences of the Kaiser' Interest In I'alestlne. At each visit the Kaiser ry to the Hely Ion a bit of good -o;id Is built, writes Ruth Bryan Owens in the National Monthly, and .ifter taking the drive to Nazareth we hoped for the comfort of later ptl trinis that the Kaiser might pass 'hat way. In one place la a tablet erected hy 'he Kaiser to the Sultan, at other thrifty German colonies; here a road there a fountain presented by him. When on the Mount of Ascension the guide pointed out the legendary "sot print of the Master Impressed In the rock and also the Impress left by the prophet Mohamtned one observant traveller asked: "And now where Is the footprint of the German Em peror?" The Conductor' Last Refuge. Heretofore the wisdom of Solomon was required of all stree car conduct ors many times a dy wnen the ques tion of a child' age arose. This deli cate problem has Just been solved by the Cincinnati Car Company In a manner that would make the am nor uf the Book of Proverbs look to hi laurels as a shrewd Judge.

Hereafter there can be no Insinuations regarding the vr.raclty of parents who desire to save that nickel. If dispute arises, the youngster ts marched up to the fare height mark and the answer is obvious Technical World. Reminder of New York In the Desert. Travelling recently on donkey back across a trackless portion of the Conchllla desert, in southeastern Cali fornia, we sighted ahead of ua above the sage brush a nondescript object which on nearer appronch resolved Itself Into two dilapidated trolley cars. They formed the equipment of a "horse railway" across the sand ten or twelve years ago to connect a solitary station on the Southern Pacific railway with an agricultural colony several miles distant. The farming enterprise failed utterly and the "horse railway" with It. The In congruous sight of these two abandon ed cars In the midst of drifting sands was all that remained to tell the tale of shattered pope. World Wide Magazine, Self Sacrifice. A story s told of a Rangeley Lakes guide who, while working on a log drive, fell Into the water, He struggled for a while, and at last, dizzy and nearly exhausted, man aged to grasp a big log and hold on to It. The current was so strong and swift that It carried his body under the log until hla feet stuck out on the other side. Just as a comrade grasped him by the shoulders he caught sight of his own feet protruding on the other 'de of the log. "I can hold on a bit longer!" he gasped. "Save the poor fel'ow that's In head, first, If you can." Cleveland Leader. Thi Earth' Core. At a Heeling of the Setsmologlcal Association Bt The Hague Prof. 'Ve'chert asserted that his studies of the varying velocity of earthquake tremors passing through the Interior of the globe led to tbe conclusion that the earth consists of a central core of Iron or pfee) about 5.580 miles In di meter surrounded with a stony shell '130 miles In thickness. Between the outer solid rind and the Inner layer Of rock covering the metallic cor he thinks there la a layer of liquid or plastic material lying n little les than twenty miles below the surface of the earth. Scientific American. Original Armlet Wonder. In the midst of a wintry wood a traveller in a sledge fled before a pack of famished wolves. As soon as be could feel their hot breath on his cheek he muttered: "It's time!" drew his sword, struck off his left arm and threw It to the howling, hungry beasts. But only to gain thereby a tempor ary respite. In a few moments they were upon him once more, whereat he drew hie sword a second time, struck off his right arm and threw that out likewlee.Puck. Fish Too Much for Three Men. Charles Grayblel "treed" a large catfish In a log near his fishing camp at Sullivan ford. He sent to this city for help and three men chopped the log open. They got hold of the fish, but their combined strength was no match for It, and after splashing water several feet Ulgh It gave a terrific swish of its tall and sailed for deep water. Indianapolis Newa. Easy Method of Making 8a It. The process of making salt at the iprlng in Ballnas, Mexico, Is very simple. The water, which, contains 1 to 7 per cent, salt, 1 pumped into tanks; It 1b then evaporated to 25 to 28 per cent., beginning to crystallize at 18 per cent. The water li then drained off and the salt swept out. A to Calling Card. "What are tbe groper calling cards?" "Threes or upward are con sidered very good." Louisville Courier-Journal.

No store anywhere in this section ot the State does this llemnant Sale business like The Kinter Co. The word "Remnant" here implies sacrifice of profit and utter disregard of cost. Though a remnant is worth its lace value to the buyer, it represents just so much dead capital to us. So we welcome these July and January llemnant Sales with no thought of the money loss involved. We place a broader and more liberal consti action on the word "llemnant" than most stores do, coming at the end ol each season when the necessity for reducing 6tocks is im perative we class as 'Remnants" all merchandisie we do not want to carry into the next season.

Laziness. Persons may share the common complaint of laziness without any ap preciation of how far it is responsible for the saddest cases of mental and moral disintegration. Laziness Is real ly the key to a large share of what passes for lack of balance and perhaps for Insanity. It takes hold In the schoolroom where pupils slight the work they most need because they like It least. Having shirked the studies which would have done most to balance their mentalities,' they pro ceed to emphasize this lopsldedness by refraining from every line of en deavor bPb s pot tq their llHlnS: They find $ hundred excuses for dq lng so, but nearly always ther excuses are pot reasons.
