In the many standing high jump coatests jn which I have entered since I first took up this form of athletes 1 have been surprised at the few: entries.Possibly it may be on account of the limited number of opportunliies offered to the stand.ng jumper compared with those held open to the athlete who aspires to honours in running jumps.| These discrepancies like water will find their level, and if the boys in the, public schools and the young men of | our universities would take up and train for these neglected events Lhe increase In entries would be an inducement for an additional number vf | competitions till In time the standing Jumps would be found in the games.of every club.Unlike the running high jump.the standing event needs great power in \u2018the le and shoulders to raise and later to lft the body over the bar.Helght of the athlete does not mein ability to succeed, but rather is it a matter of conformation, either natural or acquired, combifed with rap prattice and judgment.In my own case while at school y had tried every kind of sport, with but | meagre success, till I took up the standing high jump In order to help out my school In \u2018this event.When once 1 had decided that I would compete in that item I went right into ft, using all my time out of study in either actually performing the jump Jor following athletic and gymnastic work calculated to improve the necessary muscles and give strength.My jumping consisted of \u2018about ten to twelve jumps a day, the highest being about 4 feet 7 inches, which was the best I could then do.with this, I played baseball other outdoor games.My gymnasium work was of a nature to develop the thighs, abdominal enuscles, and included all exercises which would aid in the lifting and perfect control of the legs.I also paid particular attention to the shoulder muscles used in the arm lift The squats and skipping a rope with stiff knees were two of the exercises which I used, and are of great value, while

But All the Rest of Family i Perish, .\u2014\u2014 ¥peclal to the Montreal Star.Fredericton, N.B., September 5,\u2014Dou- Blus, six miles from Fredericton, wus the scene of a terrible calumity early yesterday morning, when the residenve of Alfred Jewett, a leading farmer of that place, was destroyed by fire, and aix people, including his entire family of three children, were burned to death.The victims are Edward Clarke, of Ca- verhill, aged 62, Mrs.Clarke, his wife, aged 58, and thelr daughter Mary, aged 15, Yella Jewett, age] about 13, Wesley Jewett, aged 12, and Ethel Jewett, aged six.Of the eight persons in the house when the fire took place.only Mr.and Mrs.Jewett escaped, and both of them are now under the doctor's care.Mr.Jewett had his face, arms and legs badly burned, and is in a serious condition.Mrs.Jewett had her hair singed off, but otherwise escaped injury, 8he is, however.badly used up.Mrs.Clarke was a sister of Mrs.Jewett, and In company with her husband and daughter visited Fredericton on Saturday.A heavy rain storm set in, and while on their way home they visited the Jewetts, where they were prevalled upon to stay all night.About ten o'clock they retired, all bedrooms being up stairs.Mr.and Mrs Clarke and Mr.and Mrs.Jewetl occupied two rooms, whlle the children slept In the third room.About 4.30 a m.Mr.Jewett was awakened by the crackling of fire, and smoke pouring into his bedroom.He realized the house was on fire, and Jumped out with Mrs.Jewett.and made his way to the hall.After conducting his wife to a place of safety he returned and rushed up sta.rs for the children, whose cries for help could be heard.but the flames had gained such headway that he was for~ed back and barely escaped with his life.He ran out and attempted to place a ladder to one of the bedroom windows, but the ladder was old and rotten and fell to pieces, By this time the cries of Mrs.Jewett had aroused a number of neighbours and they hurried to the scene.Another ladder was procured and one of the party ascended and looked Into the upper window.The whole place was found to be enveloped in flames and no slgna of Mr.and Mrs.Clarke or the children.Shortly afterwards the roof and walis fell in, thus removing all doubt of the fate of the six persons.In less than a.hour after the fire was discovered nothing remained of the house but a heap of ruins.The men set about to look for the remains.Water had to be hauled from the river &æ quarter of a mil> away to pour over the burning ashes It was 11 o'clock, however, before the remains of the six victims were discovered, and then only portions of the limbs were found and they were burned to a crisp.A bushel basket would hold al! that was left of them.The remains of Mr.and Mra Clarke were found directly beneath thelr room, and their relative positions would indicat that Mrs.Clarke never Jeft her bed, but Mr.Clarke had evidently left hir bed and walked towards the door.The remains of the children were found beneath the room of Mr, and Mrs.Jewett, and the fourth child beneath tha upstairs hall.The positions would lead to the belief that the chil- dred were awakened and met thelr death

for the fishermen who visit it in small craft during the summer season, and return in the fall They prosecute the fishing in the same manner as Canadian and American fishermen do, via : Fishing from their crafts which take up posi- tlona in various harbours along the coast.The fact that the Government have collected revenue on the coast should not be allowed as a basis on which to rest their claim to a large and valuable portion of what fis, geographically and lawfully, Canadian territory.\u2018The Provinces of Prince Edward Island or of Nova Scotia, whose Vessels frequent the coast the same as Newfoundland vessels, have Just as reasonable a claim to territorial Jurisdiction.Perhaps the success of our American cousins in the Alaskan affair has encouraged our brethern of the island colony to try for a slice of Canada.If they are mucceaxful we may expect the people of St.Pierre to present n demand for a slice of Quebec.Newfoundland claiming Labrador ! next.JOHN CANUCK.Cause of the Black Rust.To the Editor of the Montreal Star.Slr\u2014In Mr.J.W.B.MacDou 1's concise and interesting account of wheat-rust in the Star, there ia probably rather much blame lald on the barberry and buckthorn as causes, although he ls careful to say that the connection is a popular supposition.If erroncous, it hinders progress In effec- means of combating our w of the grain-fields.& our worst pest course of lectures that I have given annually at the Medical School includes one or two on parasitic diseases of plants.For the latter.at the proper season, that is from the middle of May to the middle of June, I have made a collection of barberry leaves affected with the cluster-cup stage of the rust.In some years, it is very difficult to get owing to its scarcity, In others it is plentiful.It varies, as one might suppose, with the sultabllity of the weather.It also varies with the proximity of the hedge to the means of Inoculation.In the year 1889, I had visited two or three large hedges at the proper season without finding it, but on a small garden hedge, planted the year before and deéply mulched in the fall with rusty straw, I found it abundant.In my experience there is no connection between the degree of prevalence of the barberry blight in June and of the cereal rust in Juiy and August.The general prevalence is conditioned exclusively on the suitability of the weather.A protracted period of sultry, molat weather will be follow~d by destructive development of the rust, whether the barberry had few or many \u201cyeliow- spots.\u201d Further, the susceptible grasses growing under or near the hedge are net mote perceptibly affected than are such grasses in other parts of the field.Speaking for Middlesex county.Ont.the buckthorn may be left out of account.It may be sald that the hawthorn does not belong to the same family as the buckthorn.Of the latter there are two hedges near this city.the only ones I know of In the county.On neither have I ever seen a \"cluster- cup.\u201d À wupposed identical spec! grows on the swamp rhamnus; it is nearly as rare.In Macoun's Survey of Canadian Plants, barberry and buck- thorn are given for the older previnces and British Columbia.but are not reported in Manitoba and the praîrie districts.It would be interesting to learn whether or not these shrubs are common In the rust-affected sections of the

the protoplasm of the seed for repeated generations, developing to destructive results only under conditions favourable fo the predominance of rust.he hot moisture, for example, Is unhealthful to the wheat, but very favourable to the rust.Similar, if not analogous, Is the persistence of scrofula \u201cin the blood\u201d of certain human fami- les, showing its worst effects in thelr weakest members.If the sporlds of the third stage\u2014 the black rust as this stage is called\u2014 ever directly inoculate the young wheat plant, the phenomenon has not yet been observed.Hence what would seem the natural way of perpetuating the parasite does not exist mo far as we know.I believe that the chief means of car- ying the rust over from year to year are the susceptible perennial grasses, In Farlon and Seymour's Index nearly twenty such grasses are named.I have collected the wheat rust on more than half that number in this county alone.From this point of view the task of eradicating It is hopeless and impossible, but not so the work of partially co trolling it.If every barberry and buck- thorn on the giobe were converted to ashes and amoke there would not in all probability follow any appreciable diminution of rust on that account solely.If Ericsson's theory be true, farmers should seek rust-free grain for seed.Certain varieties have either more resisting power than others or are freer from inherited taint if there be such a thing.Every agent that tends to remove the moist alr from among the stems, such as drainage and removal of wind-breaka, will act In some measure as a retarder of the growth of rust.Selecting early varieties of seed and early sowing will contribute to me- curing the degree of advancement that will qualify the crop to resist the rust when the season of sultry moisture arrives.J.DEARNESS.London, Ont.Death of Mrs.George C.Bown.e death occurred yesterday at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr.Arch.F.Waters, of Mrs.George C.Bowp.After n lonz fliness
