Graham Had to Explain His Having Obtained the Medal--The King Did Not Know That He Was' a Canadian. Col. Grahatn, of Boston, jwho was visiting is Canada recently, tells u good story-of as '85 medal. In his early days, Graham was a buglér in the 13th Regiment of Hamilton. Then he moved to Toronto, joined the Queen's Own, and was one of the Icky Shap chosen to go with that regiment to the Northwest in 1885. { He served throughout the Rebellion { and lived to wear a medal for his ser- i Vice, { and served in the Vietoria Rifles. Lat. Afterwards he went to Montreal er he went to Boston and was invited to join the Ancient and Honorable | Artillery Company. When this body | visited England during the reign of | Queen Vietoria, Mr. Graham was one of these who took the trip. They en- It was the first time England had ever had | an opportunity of welcoming a detach- | ment of military men from the Unit "ed States, and from Queen Victoria | down the English people lavishly en- $ ained.. When the Company was: insg 1 by the Prince of Wales, afterwerds Edward VII. he noticed this medal on Mr. Graham. He stop- ped rnd asked Mr. Graham how he cam» ts west "an English medal on a United States uniform," and Gra ham hed to tell him the story. Later on, the Company was inspected by Gen. Sir Garnet Wolseley, who had nanded troops in the Red ver Expedition. As he passed along the line, he noticed the medal, but thing at the time, Shortly , an orderly 'approached iraham and said that Gen. Wolse- ley desired to speak ot him.

The general also asked him how be came to get the medal. Mr. Graham suspected that Wolseley thought he had picked it up in a sacond-hand store, but he explained' as best he could, The general asked him many questions about the Teg. ment in which he had served, the name of his captain, his eommanding officer, the work done by his column, the engagz ments he had been in, and £0 On swer accurately and to convince the general that he had a right to wear the decoration.

A host of interesting facts relative to the nvneral resources of Ontario sre contdined in ths latest report of tha Ontario Bnreau of Mines, which has just heen issued. To the ucts of the niaes avd mineral works of the province for 1910 had a value of $39,- 813,805. . For 1900 the value was $32, 081,375. the ineve so for the year being $6.332.520, or ¢v r 19 per cent. As compared with 1908, the increase was $13,616.78, or 63 per cent. The reve. | nue derived by the Government last year was $941,030.09. During the last few years the mark. ed advance in production is shown by these figures: In 1905 the value of production was $17,864,908; in 1906 it was $22 388 343; in 1907 it was $25,- 019,373; in 1908 it s $25,637,647, and in 1009 it was $32.981.375. Owing to the 'very decided develo: ments in silver and nickel, the metals have come to be responsible for nearly three-fourths of the entire value, the proportions in 1910 being, metals, 73 per cent.; non-metals, 28 per cent, Ktetats rose from $10,201,010 in 1905, to $28,161,878 in 1910, and non-metals from $7,653.288 to $11,152.217. For 1910 all the metallic products, save Cobalt, iron ore and zine ore, show an increased output, as compar. ed with 1908, the principal advances being in silver, $3,016,600, pig iron. $673,200. In non-metals, brick (coms mon) shows aw excess of $458,140, stone of $301,308, Portland cement of $246,985, and natural gas $303,000. Drain tile fell off $45,108, pressed brick $31,975, and petroleum $191,325. £ Historic Spot In Halifax. > The honor of having the first print. ing press and of haying Published the first newspaper in ada belongs to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

How the Most Thrilling and Amusing Photographs Are Made. Every one who has visited a moving picture exhibition is familiar with the ease with which moving picture ber. oes and heroines run nimbly up the sides of houses when pursued, 'and no doubt every one has wondered at one time or another how the leat is accomplished. i There are two ways of doing ghis. One 'is to have the person posing! for the picture 'drawn up the side of a real house by means of a rope, ¥ his feet alli the time, as ugh be were walking, the rope being afterward painted out on the film. The other and 'more common way is to make tae film in a specially prepared studic. On the floor a canvas picture of the house in question is spread, and the man pursued t scrambles along it on his hands and knees. The effect of ingnimate objects mov. ing themselves, such as coffee-pots pouring themseives, chairs and simi- iar objects mpi up in the air, chimgey pots falling off and flying 1 pack into position and typewriters working of their own accord, is' pro- duced py means of wires which are either too fine to appear in the picture or if they show are readily painted out, Railroad collisions are frequent en-' ough, one would imagine, to enable the moving.picture concerns to obtain genuine pictures 'of them, but the | inrilling pretures seen on the moving picture sereen are obtained in a far 1es® realistic manner. Miniature rains, constructed and staged with great lidelity to actual conditions and whieh run automatically, are used for | tue purpose and serve yery well. Some. | Limes An auto is made to collide at a | crossing with a locomotive in a simi: | iar manner, | The familiar film showing a paint. | er stenciling a ceiling, to which he appears to be clinging in a most un- | natural manner while an assistant is | holding a pot of paint up to him, nev- £1 fails to create wonderment among the uninitiated, but is easily made. ihe pictures are taken in a make be- lieve room, the walls of which are painted upside down on a four-sidea screen ana the floor of wh is pai ed white to_ resemble a ceiling. To a rafter across the top a man is suspend. ed by his feet and holds an empty paint pot toward the floor, upon which the man posing as the painter kneels. The latter holds a stencil to the floor withsone hand and with the other dip+ a brush in the paint pos which the suspended man holds toward him. Af- ter "the pictures are taken the films are run off upside down and give the topsy turvy erect desired. i in a similar way the film which shows a man holding himself to the ceiling by the top of his head and the palms of his hands is made, the man simply standing on his head. To make the' picture realistic tables and chairs are attached to the make believe room, 'and an elaborate chandelier is attach: ed to the floor so that when the film is reversed the room will appear to be tully furnished -and equipped. | two out of three moving pictures thére is a pursuit race in which men, women and children are made to Soaippet over hill and dale at pheno- me speed, horses and wagons and automobiles tear pell-mell through the streets, knocking over fat policemen in "their path, and everything moves with & hustle and bustle that is little short of amazing. It is needless to say that neither the animals nor the inanimate subjects of the pictures ever actually covered space at the rate in- dicated. When the pictures are taken the persons posing for them may move as leisurely as they please; the effect of speed being produced by cutting out numerous sections of the film.

When it was pearly finished Ed win + Landseer was asked by Charles to 24 me snd look at it and remarked that it was a very good picture, but "how ptlce a spaniel would look in that cornet." Charles sald, "Will you put it 0, then?" at which the master took uy' the brush and at once painted in a fine old English 'spaniel with some leather dispatch bags lying on the ground by him. * The pleture was duly exhibited and | admired, the spaniel especially, but the dealer who bought it, being a sim- ple man of busigess, bethought him that Sir Bdwin's dog would be worth more thall the whole picture. So he coolly cut it out and sold it, filling the place by a common dog copied from it. Several years afterward the owner of the picture showed Bir Edwin, with some pride, the picture in which he bad painted the dog, but the great mas- ter "declared he'd be hanged if ever he did that dog." The picture was ex- amined more closely, and then the trick was found out--London Tatler. HIGHEST RAILWAY. This Cloud Plercing Road Crosses the Mountains of Peru. To the question, "Which is the high- est rallway in the world?" the answer is--the Central Railway of Peru. In other werds, the highest point reached by any railway line is touched by this road, where the altitude of the rails reaches 105,865 feet above sea level. To reach this point from sea level the line passes through fifty-seven tunnels, over a dozen principal bridges and utilizes thirteem switchbacks. but has no gradient up to 4% per cent, nor does it resort to rack propulsion. A band car started 'at Ticlio will run unaided to Callao, the seaport. and, as a matter of fact, such a car, equipped with safety breaks, runs before each passenger train, carrying an inspector on the lookout for fallen rocks or other dangers. Ticlio, above referred to, is the highest station in the world, with an altitude of 15,605 feet. : The next highest ling in the world is that from Antofagasta, Chile, to'Oruru and La Pas Bolivia. This line has also the distinction of being the nar rowest gauge line (two and one-half feet) for such a long distance. The highest point is at Collahunasi, whére the altitude is 15,800 feet, fifty-six feet lower than the Peruvian lne.~New ; York Press. Ancient Tales of the Law. Qf law and' the "law's delays" these ancient rales are recorded: A woman vainly pleading her case many times before Phillip of Mace donia received at every refusal the re- ply that he "had pet the time" At last her patience gave out and she said to him, "Then cease to reign." The monarch, feeling that he bad deserved this rebuke, immediately listened to her and rendered the justice that her case merited." Anacharsls, the Scythiar philosopher, speaking of the laws of Solon, said, i "They were like the web of a spider-- | very good for holding the weak, but allowing the strong to escape." A petty thief was being led to prison. Diogenes said to him: "Fool, why didn't you rob on a grand scale? Then it would have been you that would be sending others to prison." The Painter and the Cobbler. The painter Apelles, who flourished in the time of Alexander, was shown a picture hy an inferior artist who hoasted of having sketched it out in an exceedingly short space of tine. "Yes, I cau see that very well," sald Apelles, "but I am surprised that you did not make several other pictures exactly like this in the same space of time." We are indebted, secording to tradi. tion; to this xame Apelles for one of our common phrases. The painter had listened with patience and profit to a cobbler's erfticidm of the sandals in a picture. Hut when the cobbler began f bis criticism to other parts of thé painting he recelved | this rebuke fron Apelles: "Shogmaker, stick to your mst."

Public Houses Patronized by Wives of Professional and Business Men. The increase of tippling among women of the middle classes in Eng- land has become .an ~ackgowledged fact but only of late has the attention of the temperance folk been called to the appalling growth of the drinking habit among society women. Bamuel Manger, one time postmas- tergeneral of Australia, while deplor- ing the fact that the society woman drinks; says that as a rule she is care- ful---not from any particular morality; but as a matter of expediency and to preserve her looks--and that, more- over, she usually confines herself to choice wines and lignors. He says ii is the middle class woman who has become the "dram drinker." Quoting the vicar of a select resi. dential London suburb, Mr. Manger declares that reverend gentleman said: "If only you could see into the drawing-rooms of my well-to-do par- ishioners you would find in 75 per cent. of them women, in many cases young girls, 'sitting . round playing ridge, smoking and drinking whisky and soda." As if this were not sufficiently shocking, the announcement is made that "the #nost remarkable develop- ment of allljs the way in which mid- dle class" "women patronize public houses."
