MAlizTona Legislature defeated a bill
pressing for compulsory .education.
With their •cosmopolitan citizenship
the Weet will have problems the older
provinces never even .dreamed of, and
they should be squarely faced, and set -
tied for all time on broad principles
leading to future blessedness and the
general good.

A good move in the large cities
would be the withdrawal of the pere.
grinating ice cream vendor or other
trader in commodities in which the
strictest cleanliness and freedom from
disease breeding cannot be assured. If
the goods proffered for sale are no
tidier prepared than the appearance of
the proprietor, dear pity the young-
sters and others who patronize the
push carts.

IT ,is possible that the Salvation
Army in its immigration policy may
evolve a plan to render noteworthy
assistance in overcoming the servant
girl shortage in Canada by large im-
portations of a desirable class of young
women from the Old Country. .4
cations from household requiring or
desiring this class of help are being
received so that on arrival the new-
comers could be allotted their place at
once.

THERE should be more than an ord-
inary "God -speed" extended to the
people who are urging a Juvenile
Court where youthful offenders could
be dealt with outside the contaminat-
ing influences of old and badly warp-
ed offenders. The old system is brut-
alizing and gives little hope of refor-
mation to the culprits who have gone
astray in their youth. A public Court
room has a great attraction for many
but often the interest is-naore of the
style of the curious than of a de.
sire to reduce the necessity of the
Court.

by any mems that time s so taken up
by the writer that a bats scrawl takes
the place of a nicely, written page. To
be a good writer way be eomething of
a- gift but we fear negligence, a bad
pen, poor Anil and worse stationery
are often dominating factors more
than inatility or lack of talent. ,Many
people do not write enough to keep in
practice, which state of affairs should
not be, particularly among young peo*
ple. There are professional men who
do not wield a facile pen and some of
the signatures are simply ludicrous.
How will peninanship be . improved ?
By getting back to theold time meth-
ods at the schools ; by everybody tak-
ing Afore painswiththeir chirography ;•
by the use of better equipment, within
easy reach at small .expenditure ; by
swinging out in good bold sty]einstead
of the cramped, herring»packed sheets
that few can read with either ease or
comfort, Instead of wasting time in
seeing how mach can be written on a
page take a second sheet of paper and
win the favor of the expected recip.
lent. Let a good writing campaign
begin and continue thereby placing a
most importantmeans of••communica=
tion on the high plane it deserves. We
have seen sets of books kept by bus-
iness men that were simply a disgrace
to this century, If 'Business Colleges
took more time t� teach ordinary
plain business penmanship instead of
pretty birds or .unintelligable scrib•
bling a good would be wrought now
often overlooked. How do you, gentle
reader, do your writing?
Great Piece of Stage Mec-
hanism. •

As if there were not already enough .I
of ailments to which flesh is heir to
the Royal Society of Medicine have
placed upon the roll another known
technically as "Appendicular Gastral-
gia,' bearing a strong resemblance to
the old fashioned colic, but not al -
w ays subservient to pepperment and
other warming potions. It has to do
with the appendix, that portion of
the human anatomy that appears to
have been specially placed therefor
the enrichment of the medical
fraternity.
How Realistic Effects Are Pr o
duced In Tho Chariot Race
In."Ben-Hur."
Much interest has been manifested
concerning the mechanical methods of
the thrilling chariot race employed in
Klaw & Erlanger's new and greater
production of GeneralWallce's famous
religious spectacle, •Ben•Hur" which
is to be presented at the, Grand. Opera
House, London, March 21st, 22nd and
23rd.
In the great arenic contest the spec-
tator sees eight horses galloping at
break -neck speed and straining. every
muscle to gain the advantage in the.
race within the amphitheatre. Behind,
each quartet of horses .is a' Roman
chariot. The wheels revolue rapidly ;
the chariots lurch and sway and the
flaming beribboned garments of the
drivers flutter behind them, adding in-
tensity to the realism of the scene.
The illusion is still further increased
as the interior wall of the amphi-
theatre moves along and the dust flies
in blinding clouds .beneath the crush-
ing wheels of•the chariots. The slat -
ter of the rushing hoofs of the Horses
and the rumble of the chariotsare dis-
tinctly beard. •
Elaborate mechanism and applica-
-tiorra'of-electricity produce~ this °greats
-
effect. The mechanism of two great
cradles, twenty feet in length and.
fourteen feet wide, and which are
movable back and forth on railways, is
supported by a bridge structure cap-
able of holding twenty. tons. The tops
of the cradles are two Inches above the
level of the stage. Each cradle bears
the four horses and the chariot of each
contestant: On each cradle there are
four runways and treadmills of hick-
ory slats two inches wide and'covered
with rubber.; they are twelve feet
feet long and two and a half feet wide
On each of these treadmills a horse is
secured by. steal cable traces, which
hold him in place and prevent him
from moving forward off the runways.
As each horsegallops, the treadmill
revolves under his feet,thereby elimin
ating.the forward ,pressure created by
the impact of his hoofs, which would
forcehim ahead on'an immovable eur-
faee:'_ B7 :"this; mechanical arrange•
meat it is. possible for the horses act-
wallyto gallop with all their speed
within thespace of their own length.
It is considered the most realistic
effect ever seen upon the stage..
When •'Ben•Hur" was presented in
London at the Drury Lane 'theatre,
King Edward V1l witnessed it twice
and then commanded a royal box to
be built in the centre of the pit of •the
theatre, eo that he • could more thor-
oughly enjoy the greatracescene.

THE gait struck bythe Tow'}Coun__
cil so early in the year augurs well
for good results. There are so many
things that may be done .along the
line of improvements that a busy
time maybe spent with first-class
effect and still keep down the taxes.
Clinton has advantages over any
town in the County and it should
grow and permanently progress. A
wide field of usefulness opens up to'f
the Board of Trade and the next to
defunct Business Men's Association as
well as the town parliament. There is
a part the citizenship of the town cap
and must do if the general weal is to.
be advanced that is get your shoulder
to the wheel and push. -Unity and ag-
gressiveness are two' fundamentals to
development. .The old fashiiined.wori3''
"spunk" is one of the constituents we.
all should possess if we expect to see
our ideas and ideals mature. Meetings
should be hell] to discuss public ques-
tions even when By -Laws are not to
be voted upon. They do good, re•
move many false impressions and set
people thinking and talking along
lines of practical development.

ANNOUNCEMENT is made that a
regular airship service is to be estab-
lished in May between Munich,
and, various points. in Europe. A
professional aeronaunt will " be con-
ductor, single fare ticket will cost
$35.00 and return fare $175. Consider
able sport has been made over the
possible usefulness of the flying
machine but the proposed introduc-
tion in this practical manner will
prove the feasability of locomotion by
the aerial route. A number of experi-
menters succeeded in the go up part.
of the expedition but the landing
gracefully and without so much
emphasis was not so easily arranged.
Now, it seems the up-to-date airship
Ican touch terra firma as• gently as a
bird, We suppose the day is not far
distant when almost any person may
have a dirgible of their own. In the
mean time the Good Roads movement
need not stand in abeyanue nor should
necessary workable, permanen t
methods be run altogether by the
power utilized by the airships..

WE would like to see 'a revival of the
the old time writing classes, when the
pupils vied with one another in clear-
nese of form and consequent ease in
reading it. 9 out of every 10 peo•
ple tc-day with a hand that is next to
aiChinese puzzle as far as its deciphei-
ing in toto. In our judgment the ver-
tical system was no improvement over
the neater and less eumebrous Spen-
cerian. tetter writers have no right
to pen epistles, be they business or of
a friendship type, in such a form that
perhaps sentences , are unintelligible
because a word or two is so badly
written that it can't bemade out, "Ex-
cuse haste and a bad pen" tnay be an
excuse for such letters but getting to
the bottom it is really an imposition
on the receiver and not a oomph eat

LEGAL QUERIES
15, D, Seaforth. -Qu.-The second in
the section where I live is closedfor
lack of pupils. The children are driven
in to the Seaforth School and certain
parents are paid out of the school
rnoney'for driving them iL. Is that
legal? .- . - -
. Ans.-If no teacher is engaged and
the school is not kept open I don't see
why any school taxes should be collect-
ed at all. It is the duty of the treas-
urer to see that no :illegal payments
are made, If he makes illegal pay-
ments both he and his sureties will be
liable and can be compelled to . make
good the amounts. I cannot find any-
- thing in .the School Act permitting the
trustees to use' the school moneys in
paying for conveyances to carry the
I children to aschool in another section.

Millinery Opening
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
OPEN EVENINGS'.
Miss McCormick makes the following fashion hints to ladies:
The prevailing turban shapes, if they can be said to have any shape, are
large, high anddeep, so as to cover the hair and part of the face. The brim
hats are very large, and flat in appearance, oecasionalls upturned,
med with feathers, or -the inevitable wreathe of flowerhe l aang trim-
med this
season are inciting -rapturous phrases. The soft pastel shades, wtzich° have
always appealed to the artistic taste, are striking a new note in Millinery,
which will have a lasting effect upon trimmings. Coquelicot, or poppy red,
king's blue, and Chantecler, formerly classed under cerise, have become the
furore of the hour. Light Loyal blue delft, resida and all shades of rose, as
well as tan, are very strong. Malines, toska, nets, as well as chiffons, will be
greatly in demand. Taffeta Ribbon seems the strongest in its department.
Two -toned, undershot molt, in all shades, are used in many artistic bows and
rosettes, with which are shown a number of designs of fancy tritnneings, pins
and buckles, -
