They are also interested in ihe doings of the'r public men, and the affairs of some newly opened dis- I tiict are twenty times of as much importance to them as those of the Danubian principalities.

Possibly tais is true, indeed we rather think it is; but unfortunately the great majority of Canadians are second cWss people. They neither belong to the type which employs the slang of the gutter, nor 'o that which employs verbosity to conceal absence of thought. They ire for the most part a lot of plain fo'k, striving with the help of Providence and a few friendly critics from tlie .Mother Country to accomplish the li< roulean task of subduing half a continent. After thej have completed tills, they may produce a school of j< ,ii:Kili..ts, who can till two and a half '���; ''iimns of a newspaper with a lot of observations, which clothe third (lass i leas in Jirst class language. _Ur Kipling seems to be more or less worried over the supposed attitude of Canadians towards English- ��� -Uiea. lie need not be. An English- liV.n, tCliaO comes to this country and Likes things just as he finds them, is Jv.Bt as welcome as anj* one else. He must make up his mind to put up with cur second class way of doing things. We make no claim to be superior people out here in Canada, but we think ue know our own business. Now and ; gain some fellow, who left Ills country for his country's good, sets out to . i.:, b us how we should do things. ' crhaps it is how to cut down a tree; possibly it may be how to con- ��'uct a newspaper. He usually ends l). making an ass of himself, although this is possibly giving him too much credit, for tlie chances are that Dame Nature saved him tho trouble of do- 'ng tiven that. We feel very sorry for *ome of these creatures. They are characterized by a pig-headed and ; i.mpoiiH assumption of infallibility, which they imagine serves to disguise the infinite littleness of their mental calibre. But the great majority of Englishmen, we. may tell Mr. Kipling, are welcome anywhere n Canada. But : Ui Ih only by tlie way.

Some Interesting details have been given out lately as to the sums voluntary paid to British novelists by American publishers before the days gt luternatlional copyright. Any American firm could reprint at once whatever Issued from the English presses, bill tome publishers arranged with British authors for advance sheets of forthcoming works, thus enabling them to gel the start of "piratical" firms which authority from the Department paid the author nothing.

It Is to Northern Europe What th�� Wheat Crop li to America. Today tbe burring ls hardly regarded rs a luxury. Indeed, It is chiefly eaten by those who cau afford nothing else, lind yet 8,000,000,000 of these flsh are needed to supply the annual demand. How this inexhaustible, limitless yield rif the ocean has swayed ihe destinies of nation." is strikingly set forth in an article by Harold Bolce in Ocean. Despite tbe unremitting harvest by predatory man and gull and cannibalistic cod nnd shark, the unconquered armies of herring Still continue to populate the Atlantic with multiplying hosts. The Atlantic has been aptly called tbe "herring pond." Indelibly associated In tbe past with the economic and political history of occidental mankind, the herring seems destined to survive ns one of tbe greatest factors ln the welfare of western nations. Today what the wheat crop is to America the herring catch Is to northern En- rope. Few persons, even among the masses that consume this flsh, realize Its economic Importance. More than 3,000,- 000,000 herrings are captured annually, according to the latest estimate. The weight of that annual catch Is over 7!)0,000 tons. It would require 2.".000 freight cars, each with n capacity of thirty tons, to hnul the herring harvest Inland from the Atlantic. fhe Happy-go-lucky-always-merry Kangaroo Girls Touring with "The Burgomaster.'

It ts admitted that Cleopatra killed herself to avoid being exhibited at Rome in the triumph of Octavlus, who had made war upon her and Antony because the latter bad divorced his (Octavlus') sister on the queen's account But did she die from a snake's biter It ts better to think not. "If ber death had been caused by any serpent, the small viper would rather have bees chosen than tbe large asp, but the story Is disproved by her having docked herself in the royal ornaments and being found dead without any marka or suspicion of poison on her body." Death from a serpent's bite could not. have been mistaken, and her vanity would uot have allowed her to chops* one which would have disfigured her In so frightful a manner. Other poisons were well understood and easy of access, nnd no boy would have ventured to carry au asp In a basket of tigs, some of which be even offered to the guards as he passed) and even Plutarch shows that the story of tho asp wns doubtful. Nor Is the statue carrier) hi Augustus' triumph, which luiii <.n asp upon It, any proof of hia belief in it, since tho snake wus the emblem of Egyptlnu royalty. Th�� statue (or the crown) of Cleopatra could not have been without oue, and this was probabl- the origiu ot the Thole stonr.

Trapping an Elephant "Elephants are easily trapped," satd I a *oo keeper, "very easily trapped and ; very easily tamed. Tbe trapper chooses a spot popular with elephants and digs a hole five feet deep and twenty feet square. He surrounds this bole with a higb board fence except in one place, where he bangs a swing gate. Next be finds a herd of elephants, chooses tbe inininl he wants, maddens It and makes It chase him- The mun tears along on bis nag, tbe elephant thunders close after, nnd just ut tbe gateway tbe than swerves to the right, bul the elephant, too heavy to swerve, bungs right on through Into tbe bole, lie's mad at first, terribly mad. But they give him no food or drink, they build around the pit fires of damp ] wood that almost suffocate him wltb i smoke, and they daze and stupefy hint with shouts and banging of brass pans.
