By what curious freak of Nature is a youngster 'of three able to smoke big, fat, black cigars and enjoy them a3 much as if he were eating delicio chocolate? That is the question which is puzzling Canadian doctors just now in regard to Edward Her- bert, the three-year-old son of a Cana. | dian fisherman who lives near Wind- | sor, Nova Scotia. "Young Ted is a "corker,' " says his father. "He started his smoking habits twelve months ago by taking a pull on the sly at my pipe, and he seemed to enjoy it, too, although I | smoke lug tobacco of the strongest | kind. idn't it trouble his 'Little Mary'? Not a bit, and, although we tried to break him of the habit by punishing him, he would have his smoke if he could get half a chance. And when his mother took him with her to the hotel where she worked, he would purloin any pipes he saw lying about, take them into a dark corner, and smoke them. "We made a final effort to cure him | by giving him a big black cigar, but, bless your heart, it didn't make the listening to the conversation." - Edward is only a baby in size, thought, and action, but to him a big black cigar has more attractions than a gaudy red cart. He will lay aside his toys at any time of the day to smoke, and he strength of that smoke has no terrors for that infan- tile stomach. Color and shape cut a figure, however, as Edward is par- til to cigars with a bright<colored band. The doctors say that the cigars Edward smokes are strong enough to upset a full-grown man, but they don't seem to trouble Edward, who is very much alive and kicking, and whose greatest punishment is to have his cigar taken away from him when he has been naughty.--London Tit lallits. | { | | Hadn't Been Fixed. Sam Charters, the Brampton editor who sits in the Ontario Legislature fur Peel County, is the first Conser- vative who has done so for a long time. That the father of the Ontario } Telephone Act knows so well the peo- ple's need is undoubtedly due to the fact that he seldom misses a chance to travel through his own county and meet his constituents. Just before the last election he was canvassing in a municipality in his riding where the | local leaders decided that in several | | cases a personal call from the can- | didate was necessary. So Sam, accom- | panied by the local chairman, started { on the rounda i) "In this family that we're going to cali on now there are three sons and the father, and they're a slippery bunch," said the chairman during the course of the forenoon. "I haven't much use for them myself. They've never voted our way. But the other crowd have always had to buy them before they got them." Nothing daunted, Sam led the way to the home of the doubtful voters. Father and sons all declared that "like as not" they would vote for Mr. Charters. Any declaration more positive than that they would not make. Finally, to find out, if pos. 8 exactly how they stood, Mr. Charters said, "Well, you won't vote for the Jones crowd auyway, will you?" Jones was the local chairman of the opposing party. "No," declared the father with emphasis. "He hasn't got us them potatoes yet." Sharks. Within the past few weeks one of Toronto's prominent financial institu. tions closed its doors; its manager has been sent to board in Kingston: its doughty president has taken at last to the tall timbers; and other officials have dropped out of sight--= added to all this Professor Coleman, of the University of Toronto, persists in informing Toronto people that their city was once the "Home of Fishes." The geologist who, for some time, has been investigating the rock form. ations in the Scarboro Heights local. ity, wellknown to scientists the world over, on the east side of Toron- to, talks familiarly of life in Toronto hall a million years ago. The climate was sunny in those days. Deer, bee- tiles, mammoths, mastadoons, and shellfish were the corporation. Bee. tles were the Four Hundred. A mighty torrent, like Niagara, rushed from the Upper Lakes into Lake Ontario, which was sixty feet higher than it is now. Dr. Coleman expresses his opinion that America has gone one-third of the way to another ice age--and he is not criticising the "Sins of Society." It is 40,000 years since Toronto was under ice ore. Verigin, B.C. British Columbia is to have two thousand more Doukhobors. So says Peter Verigin. He ought to know. He is the high priest. Three years ago, on the Columbia River, near Nelson, the Douks. appropriated 10000 acres of land. They planted fifty thousand trees--apple, pear,' plum. peach. and cherry. The white lossoms will be out in the spri Fruit is promised later on. fruit.growing will mean a great in- dustry.

THE REAL WILDS. { British Columbia Mountains Are Gen. uine Primeval Nature. "he wonderful upper valley of the {Fraser R sh Columbia is | z=: phicaily by Frederick A. Talhe ) rid"s Work. We jucte se ns « s well-told story of "Life on th rail in the Rockies." The Fraser River was picked up at the point where its headwaters are swelled by the outfall from Yellow. head Lake, and thence onward it was our companion for over {our hundred males, } the second largest river Uritish Columt has an evil re putation from sourte to estuary, with its narrow canyons thrcugh whieh the water thunders like a mill-race, and which either completely defy naviga- tion, or render it extremely hazard- us. It was already boiling and bub- bling, tumuituous'y when we struck it, as it writhed and twisted its tor- tuous way through the parrow valley hemmed in-by.two parallel towering mountain ridges. Aller crossing the Pass the land falls gently to the west. ern end of Yellowhead Lake, but from that point it drops very sharply for x considerable distance, and it is this declivity which cau the Fraser to rush along so viciously. It swerves round hairpin corners with fierce ve- icity, the rapids are treacherous, witiie the whiripools and eddies are like boiling pots. And the trail is every whit as bad as the waterway. You look ahead and it is like ing through a narrow wedge fissure or passage. It is just same when you look behind. 11s, in On either hand rises the eternally snow. cupped serrated ridge to a height of T4000 feet or so. The river thres is its way through a deep cleft driven into th» mountain range. The flanks of these sombre walls have been swept extensively time and again by lire, and in their gaunt nakedness exercise a most depressing effect, even under the most congenial atmo- pherie eonditions, The only time when they do assume an individasl beauty is at eventide, when the slant- ; rays of the setting sun ke rock, fores, and snow, producing those remarkable sunset effects and straugs blazes of color for which the Rockies are s6 famous, and which change with startliug suddenness every minute, until the sun has dipped below the ridge. Not a sound s heard beyond the tumbling of the river, or the dull reverberating thud, thud, and roll of a landslide or ava- Even the birds, and they are few and far between, are mute, save perhaps now and again when you hear the hollow mocking croak of the raven, or the eerie screech of an eagle, Here and there the fissure-valley opens out to a width of a mile or so, and then the river spreads out, form- ing a lake is really an expansion of the river bed over a length of aboct ten miles. It is a pretty stretch of water with 'the densely forested mountain slopes on the southern bank, which have not yet been ravaged by fire, stretching down unbrokenly from the timberline to tha water's edge. At places the prevail ing expanse of greeu is wrn by an ugly jagged wound, the resalt of a shiver on the mountain which let loose a few thousand tons of rock, and sent them, sweeping e¢verything be- fore them, hurtling into the lake be- low. This is one of the freaks of nature which occasion the railway en. gineer considerable anxiety, and he will exercise no end of ingenuity in avoiding such capricious outbursts. Taken on the whole, this stretch of country offers but little attraction to agriculture in any form. The dense woodlands will attract the lumberjack for there are some excellent stretches of big timber. Mining may also da velop upon 'an extensive scale, bus investigations have not yet beirayed many indications of mineral wealth. In this direction, however, it is but fair to state that the country has culy been indifferently scratched by un- scientific prospectors who have not wandered far from the trail. No on» can say what exists among the moun- thins on either side, and no cue will have the pluck to penetrate their fastnesses until the iron road com. munication is in close proximity The fact is that the country is too broken to permit of extensive inva- sion. The trail exists more in fancy than in the concrete. or more way, and h2s become littered with th: huge trunks of many a timber giant, who has come to an untimely end through fire, and has reeled "or collapsed across the badly distin. guishable path. Then again, the trail wanders up and down In an appar- ently aimless manner. Now you are a high ridge. The highway i: no more than - narrow ledge, which falls down abruptly for a hundred or wo feet.

Again it has' been demonstrated that Toronto lacks the proper histori: cal sense. In Toronto, at the Normal School, there is a muecm full of tomahawks, skulls of red men, and other curios, sometimes gazed at by country folks at exhibition time. Among other relics of the past, for many years there has been a block of stone. This stone is distinguished from other Ontario ck by a hole cut right through it. The old "plighting stone" of Lairg, Scotland --that is how this stone has been described to sightseers.

The story of how Hon. Frank Oliver (then plain Frank Oliver) hap- pened to bring into existence The Edmonton Bulletin, the first news. paper published in Alberta, was told at a re-union of old time telegraphers held in Edmonton the other day. Alex. Taylor, the dean of Western telegraphers, was assbeiated with Mr. Oliver in the venture and told the story for the benefit of other old- timers who were present at the g ering, held in Mr. Taylor's house. Mr. Taylor was holding down the Edmonton end of a wire which was connected with Winnipeg, and had an office in the old Hudson Bay Co. | trading fort, which is now the oldest building in town and owned by the i Provincial 'Government. He had {been the means of having the live extended toe Edmonton and had sent and received the first telegraph mes- | sage sent or received there. This was in 1879. | Every day, Mr. Taylor took over {the wire from Winnipeg from 800 to 1.000 words of general pews, and post. ied a copy on the door of the old fort, jos the benefit of the few setti rs. i Four among the four most prominent men {of the place. . Frank Oliver then kept a store in the little settlement, and as he had been a printer in his earlier days, one day Taylor suggested to the trader that he get some type and a little press and start a news sheet. Mr. Oliver agreed, and when the following summer, he made his annual trip to Winnipeg in an ox cart, he brought | back with him a case of type and & | small hand-press. It i: said that The Bulletin was started on a capital of $22.50. Mr. Oliver found. when he got home, that he had neclected to get | any large type for a heading. Mr. "The Bulletin." The wood had tendency to warp, and finally it had to be cut into three. pieces. One day | the pieces got mixed, and the paper | came out under the heading "The tin Bulle." The paper was supported, and as it made steady the town grew pro- gress It has grown now into a modern daily, with morning and evening editions.
