Never before has there been an authenticated report of quintuplets all surviving to celebrate their first anniversary. The Dionne quintuplets are the first (o have accomplished this feat. For this gratifying result we may thank Dr. Dafoe, whose great care and skill, assisted by all the expedients of modern medi- Some Confusion Over Four Twins And Three Falls (From the Timmins Advance.) No less than three ladies have called the attention of the Advance to what they term a serious erroi ,in a resent issue of this newspaper, They say that the Advance told about two pairs, sets, or groups, of twins being born recently at Smiith Rock Falls, while the truth as the ladies see it is that the said pairs, sets or groups, of twins were born in Twin Falls. The one lady speaks in sorrow--sorrow that the Advance should make a mistake. The second lady speaks in anger--anger that Smooth Rock Falls should get the credit rightly due to Twin Falls. The third lady speaks--in pure impish-ness. Heaven bless her! And help If three men found fault with the Advance, well, that would simply he three men finding fault! But with three ladies it is different! What to do? Well, what can be done about twins, except to accept the inevitable! It is a jolly good thing that Callander or Corbeil were not ment- In excuse to two of the ladies -- the one who spoke in friendly sorrow, and the one who spoke ir anger -- an explanation is due. Tc the third lady--who was actually the first lady to comment on the item-- the one who spoke impishly -- nothing but good wishes that she may have a similar item or items of her own to give the Advance, and that there are no errors. The explanation of the whole matter-is nearly as complicated as twins. The advance was given the information in the item by a gentleman who once lived in Iroquois Falls, but later was employed at Smooth Rock 'Falls and possibly lives now at Twin Falls. The Advance apparently got its Falls all mixed up in this matter of twins, and now the ladies are taking falls out of the Ad- far from Smooth Rock Falls as crow flies, or the stork flies. Twin Falls to have two" pairs twins is a mark of distinction what a certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper would term a birth n the i the Advan mplair of the ladie on the twins and the learns now that the two pairs of ' twins were born within a few days of each other at Iroquois Falls, of parents residing in Twins Falls and all of them but the twins had heard of Smooth Rock Falls. Accordingly, everybody is right, and^ everybody Tw iettlei Cape Breton's Gigantic Scot Raised Anchor (From the Moncton Transcript.) The Sydney Post-Record antiei pates the opening of the Sydney anniversary celebration by issuing i forty-eight page edition reviewing the history of Cape Breton in eral and Sydney in particular. The story would scarcely be plete without mention of the famed Giant MacAskill, who brought fame to his adopted country, or rather the country of his parents' adoption when he was only six. He was born of averse-sized parents in the Hebrides, one of a family of thirteen, in the year 1825. After an uneventful voyage, their ship reached St. Ann's Bay, a sparsely settled district in Victoria County, Cape Breton, where the family began life anew, and between farming and fishing eked out an existence which was quite comfortable. In the' little churchyard, high in the hills overlooking the entrance to the bay, is a small tombstone marking the burial place of Angu-MacAskill; a dutiful son,» a kind brother, just in all his dealings, versally respected by friends acquaintances," reads the nnscrip- cal s sible. ade this joint su In surviving together to age one, this group of five baby girls has successfully overcome risks equivalent to those that one female individual meets in the course of her first 51 years of life. This statement is bas-' ed on the most recent life table representing current American mortality conditions, according to which the probability of one girl baby surviving to age one is a little over 95 per cent. The probability of five such babies all surviving t0 age one is the fifth power of this figure, that is 73 per The same life table shows that the probability of one female newborn baby surviving to age 51 is 78 per cent. Thus, even if we assume as favorable mortality for quintuplets as for the average American child, we reach the conclusion stated above, that in the first year of their life they have withstood the degree of life risk ordinarily met with by one female individual in the first 51 years of her life. Actually, these babies were prematurely born, and this without doubt greatly increased their risk of dying in their first year. When we consider in addition the fact that multiple irth.8 always represent a very i ous handicap, we cannot raise too highly the skill of the physician and his staff whose unflagging efforts have preserved these remarkable children and brought them to their present state of robust babyhood. As the result of this achievement, any one. of these children considered separately has now an expectation of life of (>5 years. If we ask how long they may all as a group expect to live together, the answer, computed from the life table, is naturally, a mailer number, namely 39 years. This is an average figure. Actually they may well do better than that, for they seem to be in splendid health, and, as wards of the King, continue excellent of life of While the expectation the five as a group necessarily is less than that of any one of them separately, on the other hand, the longest lived of the five, whoever she may be, has a great expectation of life than any random one < them. Her expectation is 83 years. All these figures sare based on a' erages, and actually the children may do better than stated above, fact which it is not possible to take into account in the computation i that the children are of the "identi cal" kind of multiple births, an therefore they probably have ver closely similar predispositions, such as would tend, barring accidents, make them all survive to about the e age. lis we have every reason to hope, be- an advanced age, to judge from their present robust health and special provisions taken their welfare. ^Sketch Club ffi He died at the early age of thirty eight, but not before he had made a tour of North America and parts--- of Europe, part of the time with Tern Thumb as his partner. They made a strange contrast. MacAskill was seven feet, inches in height, more than hundred pounds in weight and chest measurement was eighty inches. The palm of his hand six inches wide and the hand a PaPer 1 root in length; the smallest man in ™Pressi the world would stand on the palm colour, of the giant's hand a perform little dance. He appeared before Queen Victoria, when he received two gold rings, and he gave exhibitions in his native Scotland. The crowning feat . of his lifetime was seen by a New York audience after his return from Europe, when he lifted a 2,200 pound anchor from a wharf to his shoulder. This feat eventually forced his retire-:, fortunately, however, with a competence. *" LESSON NO. 63 Composition in Art--Part 2 We will endeavour in this lesson to teach in the practice of Commercial Art how we follow the laws of proportion to achieve: HARMONY, BALANCE and RHYTHM. These are the principle modes in which VARIETY is revealed in Nature and through arrangement in works of Art. Harmony in Balance or in Rhythm occurs in repetition of an element in which there is some corresponding features or some likeness. It is this harmonious relation between things, this variety, that we seek in Nature, derstood. In Fig. No. 198, by drawing line through the centre of a i tangle we make an equal division two areas which have the same portance. Here we have a uniform a sameness that gives symmetry, but not Variety. However, we do obtain a litth Variety in Fig. No. 199, by placing the line a little to the left of the centre. Which gives a slight additional interest, yet it approaches too closely to uniformity to be re ly interesting or pleasing. There no feeling ,of distinct relations The motorist who went on a vacation with his family 10 or 12 yean ago had to cut it short unless h< was able to afford to spend a substantial sum on hotels, or, alternatively didn't mind lugging a tent along with him and camping on an> field where he got permission, plus carrying a cooking outfit and utensils--which didn't make it much of a holiday for the wife and mother. There were few tourist camps t< be seen, and those that did exis were just wooden huts put together while thg beds and bedding were fa: from inviting. If he did got to i hotel he had to be prepared to pay five to ten dollars a night foi room or rooms, dinner and breakfast bills, a dollar for garage, and last, but not least, hand out tips here and there.

In four years the fine home which they had figured on owning in 12 years was their own. The "depression" proved a boon to them. The experience could be multiplied indefinitely on varying scales.

It was so in a larger sense. The neat little British locomotives, running between the clipped hedges and careful fencings of a settled land, never had cowcatchers. There was no need for them in England. The device on the iron horses of America bespoke the pioneer conditions, the unfenced distances, the wildness of the country through which they ran, just as the old bell-stacked woodburners bespoke primeval forest, so plentiful that one could afford to stoke locomotives with it. But the bell stack long since shriveled and disappeared with civilization; the cowcatcher has more recently been following, until already it approaches the vestigial.
