Every twelve minutes, night and day, during 1908, a
steamer passed through the Detroit river, and the
busiest month showed an average of forty a day arriv

Northwest are opened up. when Canada builds n deep

of the latest to report ujioii tills mat

The following paragraphs reflect a
strong light upon the condition of mar

Africa:
When tlie uatlve butcher proposes to
kill an ox, notice to that effect Is sent
round to the white people on the prev

the fact by the following startling an
nouncement : "A bule will be murdered
tomorrow morning at 6 a. m.”
This cold-blooded crime, so carefully
premeditated—even to tlie exact hour—
was, however, not committed, as the
following morning a second notice was
Issued, as follows: "The bule ran away
this morning, so was not murdered.”
But this was an exceptional case.
I heard one story which is so char
acteristic of tlie native that I repeat
it. The man who related it told me
that the incident occurred when he
was on a Journey, and was suffering
from a bad attack of fever. One even

and told ills boy to get two and boil
them lightly.
After a time they were brought to
him as hard as bullets. He told the
boy he must get some more and boll
them less; but alas! these were brought
to him lu the same condition, and the
poor fellow wished he bad never or
dered them at all.
Being unwilling to give in, he made
another attempt, and told bls boy,
"Come to me when the water boil«.”
The boy did so.
"Now,” said his master, “put the egga
in, and when you have co unted fifty,
tajee them out.”
The native method of reckoning Is to
count up to ten. and then b«*gin again,
arriving at tlie total by the number of
tens counted. Tlie sick man heard the
boy start fair and get as far as four
tens, when a second boy Interfered, wid
questioned whether it were the third or
fourth ten.
This started a discussion; and a«
they could not agree, it was decided to
begin all over again. Meanwhile the
eggs were still boiling, and getting
harder and harder. This was about
the last straw, aud ill as the man felt,
he was compelled to get ouf of lied and

One of tlie most curious vanes to be

at Great Gonerby, a parish adjoining
Grantham.
It is In the form of a fiddle and a

peasant resided in Great Gonerby who

west prospered and became a riel»
man.
One day he sent to the cl«»rgyman at
Great Gonerby a sum sufficient to build
a church, ami attached to the gift the
curious condition that a nmtal replica
of his old fiddle and bow should be on
the summit of tlie edifice. The gift
was accepted and the vane may be seen
on the church.
