TELLS OF SCOUTS HE MEANS 70 INSTIL PLUCK IN- TO THE YOUNG IDEA. Gen. Baden-Powell Declares That "Slackers" Are Made Not Born, And That If Grit Is Fostered It Will Save the Nation From Degen- eration--Boys Have Lived Up, to Their Code. "A noticeable change has come over the nation of late years," Gen. Baden- Powell said while in conversation with a London writer, "and the aim of the scout movement is to counter- act that change by preventing the ris- ing generation from developibg into 'slackers'." . Later he remarked: "Few British boys, or girls for that matter, are 'slackers' by.nature. A 'slacker' is made, not born. British boys and girls, and the boys and gjrls of most other nations too, are bor) as a rule, with any amount of 'grit.' To foster it, however, environment must be considered; also the lads must be brought up and educated rationally." Amazement has been expressed at the extraordinary success that has at tended Gen. Baden-Powell's scheme. Yet there is little to. be surprised at. Read the biography of any man of our own peri or of the pasi, who has achieved phenomenal success in generalship in any walk in life, and you will find that in every insthnce be had remarkable pluck and deter- mination, worked extremely hard, and possessed perhaps the most precious gift a man can have, the gift of be- ing able to organize. Now, B.-P. has these three attri- butes and one or two more as well First and foremost he is a "man" in the best sense of the" word, and through life he has worked hard. What he is "made of," so far as pluck is concerned, that little affair at Mafeking some years ago has shown us. When the siege of Mafeking was "on," the majority of the 300,000 boys now enrolled as scouts were tiny tod- dlers, some of them running about, as likely as not, with pinafores and jam- my mouths instead of in slouch hats and haversacks. But since then they have heard all about B.-P. and his gallant defence, and that knowledge probably has much to do with their enthusiasm in their scouting work. They know their chief to be a° man who understands what he talks about, a man who has seen a lot of life and a lot of fighting and who doesn't know what fear means. And that is the kind of man that boys--and girls--idolize. Every boy who becomies a Seout has to promise on oath that he will "be loyal to God and King," to his offi- cers, his country, and his employers; that he will do his best to help any- one needing help; that he will never under any 'circumstances - break his word of honor; that he will be a friend to all, no matter of what rank or class; that he will never kill any amb thing unnecessarily or cause needless suffering; that he will at all times be courteous and considerate; and that he will be thrifty, but never mean. The belief that boys would really obey this scout law, as it is called, was laughed at by sceptics two years ago, when the movement started. B.-P., however, has proved who was the better judge of boy nature. When asked by the writer if the boys really obeyed this law, his answer was: "Yes, thay have thoroughly acted up to what they promised on their honor to do. Their conduct has been splendid. 1 have always maintained that boys as a body have both moral and physical pluck. If they grow up lacking either, the fault rests usually with those who had charge of them during their impressionable years." In addition he explained that it is wrong to think, as some do, that the movement is meant to foster militar- ism, or that. it will foster it. Every man who has been in action, he said has seen too much of the horrors. of war not to wish to prevent war. Oth- ers have objected to the movement on the 'ground that sectarian religion is not considered. Its organizer is a firm believer in the religion of Chris- tianity. He thinks that all have an equal chance of salvation, no matter to what sect they belong, provided they act up to what they believe to be right. : At one time boys thought that if they joined the scouts they would be laughed at, for there always are peo- ple. who laugh at anything and, every- tiring that they have not seen before But to-day the scouts are assured of their position, and if anybody tries to jeer at them or tease them they are amused. They know, too, that on the day of their rally at the Crys- tal Palace the King would not have telegraphed congratulations had they been a useless corps. A Royal Cook. Princess Mary of Wales has been recently receiving her first lessons in cookery, dnd is said to be resembling her mother in displaying considerable aptitude for this work. It is the in- tention of the Princess of Wales to have her daughter instructed in the whole of the domestic arts, and this plan is now being cartied out. From being little more than a baby the Princess has been trained in the use of the needle, and she now assists to darn the stockings of her younger brothers. A short time ago Princess Mary was asked what she best prefer- red to cook. Her instant reply was, "Something that I can eat myself afterwards." --M.A.P. : A Legal Veteran.

'At a time when every bit of new concerning the polar controversy . of intercst, a portion of a letter, da - | ed Oct. 3, 1908, a year ago, write for a news agency by its coriespu. dent at Bt. Jonn's, Nfid., has beaux printed by The London Times. In writer at St. John's devoted wbout column of newspaper space (0 discus ing the fate of Dr. Cook in the Ar tie. It was well known in Newfoun.® land, it appears, that Cook had star ed for the pole from Annotook ear. in 1908, for the correspondent saic with one or two inaccuracies of detai, "Cook made his headquarters An notook, 20 miles north of Peary's sta tion at Etah, and remained there ui til March 3 last, when he started o his cruise for the pole, with two Esk mos and eight dog teams laden wit. supplies." The correspondent contin ues on Cook's trail with considerabl accuracy, judging it by the explorer later story, saying: "He crossed th North water, a channel betwee: Greenland and Ellesmere land, on th joe floe: . .. . . and he traverse Ellesmere land in a northwesterly di rection to: Cape Hubbard." In dis cussing Dr. Cook's fate, the corre spondent is again remarkable in hav ing forecast last October, as a "pos sibility," the course of travel by which the explorer now claims tc have returned to his base at Auno took. To quote: "Nothing has been heard of Dr Cook in the meantime, and much con- cern is exhibited regarding him. . The Erik's people are doubtful of his be- ing alive, as the Arctic voyager who ventures on the ice floe takes great risks, as Peary's case has shown. Of course, there are two or three possi- bilities, tending to indicate Cook's safety. In the first place," he may have made his dash across the pole and returned to Ellesmere safely, and yet be unable to cross North water on account of the ice being broken up. He had nothing but a cauvas boat, in which it would be suicidal to at- tempt to cross u channel 20 miles wide. He would thus be compelled to remain in Ellesmere land, if he got there, until the channel froze over again this autumn, and as there is plenty of game in that country, he could support himself and his helpers while their ammunition held out." This is just what happened, accord- ing to the story Dr. Cook published almost a year later, except that his ammunition did give. owt, and his route was somewhat more roundabout, and he was several months longer in reaching the base than the correspon- dent allowed to him. The curious phase of the case is that this letter to the news agency seems to have atv tracted no attention in England, as- suming that it' was published there at ull widely a year ago this autumn, and that when Dr. Cook announced himsglf as having arrived, no one in England seemed ever to have heard that he had been in the Aretic re- gions. An Unique Trial. They have peculiar methods of try- ing suspects in Beogal. One of these is called Trial by Rice, says a writer in The Wide World Magazine. After a priest had been consulted 2s to an auspicious day, every person suspect ed and those who were usually pear the place at night, were ordered to be present at 10 o'clock in the morning. On that date all turned up. First the people were made to sit in a semicircle, and a "plate" (a square plantain leaf) was set before each, Then a priest walked up and down chanting and scattering flowers. These said- flowers, by the way, must be picked by a Brahmin, and they must be those which are facing the sun, This ceremony over, one of the clerks went to each man and gave him about two ounces of dry raw rice and told him' to chew it to a pulp. Then commenced what looked like a chewing match. After about 10 min- utes had elapsed thdy were 'told to stop and eject it into the plantain leaf. All did so easily with the ex. ception of three men. In the cases of these three the chewed rice had in two cases become slightly moisten- ed, but not sufficiently so to allow ef its being easily ejected, and they had much ado to get rid of it. The third man had chewed his into flour, and it came out as such, perfectly dry. One of these three men promptly com- menced to ery and begged for mercy, conféssing everything, and stating that man No. 3, who had acted as a kind of flour mill, was the chief in- stigator. It is a curious fact that fear, arising from an evil conscience, pre- vents saliva coming to the mouth, with the result deseribed. | ' ------------------ Id you ever meet a woman who wasn't' willing to admit that she had a good figure ?

Writing of the curious customs ob- served by the Veddas, or wild people of Ceylon, a traveler says: "All the 'men came to meet us and led the way to the caves, which were com- pletely hidden by a thicket. On a rocky platform in front of the, cave the men all surrodnd us, Shougng to their women to come and see eir 'white sister-in-law' or 'cousin.' Ved- das have always been renowned for their truthfulness, and this reputa- tion we are able to indorse. Each community has its own hunting ground, and adheres strictly to its own game rights. Upon each hunt- ing ground there are a number of caves and rock shelters, and the fami- lies Of the community move from one to another throughout the year, as presence "of * game, 'honey, yams, ot fish demands. The big caves are com- munal property, the smaller caves usually belonging to single families; but even in the communal caves each family has its particular place, in which its members sleep, cook, eat and keep all their belongings. "Each family respects the privacy of its neighbors' few feet of the cave floor as faithfully es if partition walls existed; only the children roam all over the cave at will. Food, however, seemed to be public proper ty, for one woman would cook food and share it with every one present in. the eave. This may probably be sxplained as follows: The communa saves are situated in common hunt ing ground; therefcre, all the game yams, iguanas, or honey brought ir from the common land is the prop erty of the community, not of the man who procures it. "I have stated that the smalle, caves ure usually private property It would probably be more correct say that Veddas possess private hunt ing grounds on which very, frequently there are small caves, such caves be ing then the property of the owner o the land: When a man is living is his own cave in the midst of his owr hunting ground the produce of thi chase would naturally be his own though shared with any one living with him. Women and children al ways fared as well as the men, an¢ the former would be fed first in an) time of scarcity. Indeed, the dain Yes were often saved for the chil ren. Eiffel Tower That Failed. Wembley Park (Eng.), where ther was some interesting displays of mo del ueroplane flying the other day. and where Londoners and others wil have an opportunity of watching sev eral aerial contests in the latter par of this month, has an interesting his tory. About eighteen years ago, Wembley Park was acquired by a company whose intention was to carry out the scheme of Sir Edward Watkin, ths "Railway King," for the construction of a tower that should rival the Eiffer Tower in Paris. The estimated cos! was to be $1,750,000, and the height when finished, 1,150 feet. The work of construction was car ried on for eighteen months. Concrete foundations of 1,800 tons were laid .and slowly a structure of steel weigh ing 2,700 tons was raised. But when $500,000 had been expend ed funds gave out, and the work was abandoned. Only in 1907 was the 156 feet struo ture demolished, by an explosive known as "'roburite," 'and the work of demolition occupied over a year Although so much time and money had been spent, on the work of erec tion the same engineers who carried out the construction had to be paid $6,000 and given the materials for pulling it down. On Whit Monday las} Wembley Park became a pleasure-ground for the citizens of London, and it is hoped to transform it into a summer resort, combining the attractions of Earl's Court and the White City with rural beauty. The War Office has accepted the use of forty-five acres for the training of odo Territorials. Fighting Terry. The popular actor, Mr. Fred Terry, tells an amusing story of his school days. He was sent to a school in France, and before going promised his mother that he would not quarrel or fight. This promise he kept so faith. fully that for some tiie his life was made a misery by the boys, who; find- ing he would not hit back, punched him on every possible occasion. At last he could stand it no longer, and wrote to be allowed to break his pro- mise about not fighting. 'His father replied to the effect that he had bet ter fight if it was necessary for his happiness, but to 'get in the first hit, and hit hard." That was enough for young Terry. The next boy who in- terfered with him had to stay in bed for a few days to recover from the effects of "too much Terry." "In the coutse of the next few days," says the actor, "I fought four pitched battles, and after that I was quite happy." Lieut. Shackleton's Shilling. "Since I was fifteen years of age I have worked for my living--at a shil- ling a month to begin with," Lieut. Bhaekleton stated while distributing prizes at the Browning Settlement, Walworth, Eng.
