There are hun dreds of Canadians In Toronto and On tario who are eager for a chance to take part In the war between the United States and Spain. Mr. William Sewell. United States Consul here, is inundated with applications from Canadians who want to Join either the American army ol navy. They are coming in person ally and by letter at the rate ot from thirty to fifty a day, and if required there would be very little difficulty in obtaining BOO men right in Toronto. Many Canadians volunteers, privates non-commissioned and commissioned officers are eager to take part in the war, and have Inquired of Consul Pen cil as to the way to enlist. These mpn are well drilled, understand military duties, and would make good soldiers. Then there are mechanics, marine engineers, and artificers who want to join the navy, doctors who want to go to the front as surgeons, and military engin eers, some of them graduates of King ston Military College. The majority of the applicants reside In Toronto, ami are In many cases willing to throw up good positions for a chance to get to the front. Consul Sewell has received no instruc tions from Washington to enlist men In Canada, and he simply informs the applicants that if they desire to enlist they will have to go to the United States.' HERMIT AND HORSE. An Illinois Character Fastens Himself to a Plough and Turns up the Soil. From the Philadelphia Press. Congressman Robert R. Hitt, Chair man of the House committee on For eign Affairs, and who represents the Ninth Illinois district, occasionally re ceives a letter from a queer old consti tuent who resides on an island In the Mississippi River. The land Is in Illi nois, though It Is cut off from the main land by a slough which the swift cur rent has cut through the soil of Jo Daviess county. This old man, now In his 73rd year, has resided on the island twenty-seven years. He la a hermit of the most eccentric character, living entirely alone and away from sight or sound of any other human heinK. He is com pletely isolated, his rude hut Ix-inc hidden In a network of willow brush and wild grape vines. His hut cannot he reached without the aid of a boat and a guide, who must find his v;iy through a maze of sloughs which wind around In a thousand ncres of low lands. The old man is disturbed only by high water which has three times invaded his abode and washed him off the island. He would like to have Mr. Hltt induce Uncle Sam to build a dam across the lowland to protect his little farm on the island. The old man Is named Gottlieb T.iets of. He was born in the province of Pomeranta, Prussia. seventy-three years ago. He comes from a family of warriors. Two of his sons dlstincuish ed themselves in the war with Austria In 1868 and again In the Franc.. -Prussian conflict In 1870. He says he was written his Congressman that if any help Is needed to whip the Dons he will emerge from his home in the brush and take a willing hand. Leltsof cooks, eats and sleeps in a little room ten feet square. It is a part of a hut which he built with his own hands. He has a flock of chickens, a cow and two cats. He farms the land without the aid of man or beast. He has constructed a queer plough after his own odd Idea. It is made from the forked branch of a tree. The forks serve as handles and thills. To the butt is bolted an old iron plough share. The odd feature about the contrivance is that the share points backward. The aged Prussian harnesses his own body and hitcheB himself to this plough. His harness tits over his back and around his waist. He couples onto the share by means of a wire reaching from his harness. Then he stands between the thills, with which he takes hold with his hands. He walks backward like a horse In Its breeching. The share takes hold In the soft soil and ploughs a furrow four Inches deep. This Is all that is necessary In such rich land. In this manner he has broken up many acres. He raises enough stuff to support him and keep his stock. His taxes are always promptly paid. In his old age he performs all kinds of hard work without experiencing any rteleterouB results. He takes a turn at Luntlng and fishing, is a good shot and a lucky angler. DURATION OF THE WAR. From the New Tork Sun. The opinion, it seems, is entertained by many men. in Congress and in Wai; street, for instance, that our war with Spain will be of very brief duration, only a few weeks or at most two months. Gen. Fltihugh Lee Is quoted as saying that "two weeks will afford sufficient time to wind up hostilities. It Is safest, however, for the people to prepare their mmas 101 m much Ion ger delay. Undoubtedly, if the Cubans should at once cooperate In sufficient land strength with our fleet before Ha- vana, the Spanish would be overcome speedily; but it can not be assumed that a large force of troops of our own will be landed in Cuba forthwith. The troops Immediately, available for the purpose are only those which could be pared from the regular arm v. and while they would be enough to make . a seasoned nucleus about which to gather adequate forces, they are not enough of themselves alone to be over mastering. The National Guard regi ments may very possibly not be sent to Cuba this spring. None of the regi ments is fitted for such campaigning as would be required there. They would ail need from . one month to three months' preliminary training to render them of service In severe mili tary, operations. . It was shown un- A0 T, mlst&kably ra Wfri the Mexican war and the tyVfl war that training and drilling, .Consuming months of time, are absolutely requisite to get volunteers in shape for arduous campaigning. The warfare of the present requires espe cially that troops undergo long physi cal training in order to develop strength and endurance, to throw up entrenchments, besides bearing the strain of long marches with heavy ac coutrements to carry. Even if Havana were reduced and taken by our fleet It would be a barren victory if we could not follow it up by holding the city with an army of occupation. If the Cubans shall be strong enough of themselves to keep the Spanish army and the .Spanish Vol unteers In Havana while our navy re mains in control of the water ap proaches, the Spaniards wll be starved out sootier or later. The great field of war, undoubtedly, will be the sea, and if the Spanish fleet accepts battle or Is forced into a. great and general engagement, hostilities may be brought to a speedy issue by our complete destruction of It. But ab solute confidence of that is not fitting to the situation. It would be wiser, therefore, to cul tivate in the public the patience, to en dure a period of hostilities which may be protracted even4nto the autumn, if not Into next year. This war Is a job we must !gi through to the end, and deliberation may serve our purpose far better than precipitation, so thnt when we strike an actual blow it may be stunning. DONE BY A VAGRANT WIZARD. Among the Astonishing Things He Did Was to Say Presto. From the Buffalo Express. A squat little fellow with sallow com plexion, curly black hair, Roman fea tures and Italian accent, strolled into the buffet of the Iroquois ai S::10 o'clock last night. He was about 24 years old. smooth shaven, wore a dark sack suit, tan overeo-M, and black derby hat. He walked up to the Hon. Cornelius Oo'ughlin, leader of the south side, and smiled. '"Presto!" he exclaimed in a soft gut tural, and he plucked a lemon out of Mr. Ooughlin's left ear. "Presto!" he repeated and plucked a knife out of W. J. Connor's right ear. "Presto!" he said again, and toos. a dollar out of Frank L. Uapst's nose He threw the dollar up in the air and it vanished. He stuck the knift in the lemon ahd tossed them ooilingw ard and they never came back at least i one saw them. He held out his hand, palm upward, closed it. opehed It, and lo' it held a deck of cards. He shuffled the cards qu'u'kly with a fan shuffle. "Look at the cards as I shuffle." he said lo William K. Kinch. "Don't tell lne what it is. You've thought? There's your card." and he threw a card fate downward on the marble tot1 of lie- ta ble. Kinch looked at the card. "Wrong." lie said and threw the card down again on its face. "That's the nine of diamonds. I looked and thought of the five of clubs." "Pick up the card." said the wizard. Kinch picked it up. It was the five of clubs. "Presto'" said the magician. He handed the deck nf cards to Jas. Kennedy, who was sitting beside W. J. Connors. "Look at a card." he said. "Pass the deck on," and the w izard. Kennedy handed it to Connors, who peeped at a card and handed the deck to Papst. Mho peeped at a card; then they shuffled the deck and Innded it hack to the wizard, who shuflleil the deck ami took off the top card, lie handed it to Kennedy. Kenn.dv look ed at It.

He tossed the card a third time ami it vanished. Then the wizard vanished, leaving a lot of dazed and creepy men behind him "A man has been arrested for ap propriating money." remarked Mrs Snaggs, who was reading the evening uewapttyers. "Now, that's what I call partiality!' exclaimed Mr. Snaggs. "What do you mean?" "Congressman appropriate more mon ey man any other class of men, yet iney are never arrested ror it."

In Evening Dress They Watch Their Wives Play Basketball in Bloomers. From the Denver Republican. Last evening twelve very demure looking husbands belonging to wives who hold prominent positions in Denver society B'at on high benches in the gym nasium of Wolfe Hall .and .watched their spouses prepare for their first pub licso far as a, mall was permitted to witness It at basketball. The gentte tlemen were invited to a something which thev understood to be of the for mal. fashionable type, and so came prepared for it. So this is why they looked not appropriately apparelled as they might on their high chairs. These latter were Used so that the husbands might be kept out of the way. The gen tlemen felt somewhat emDarrassea in their dress suits, patent leather shoes. and very high collars, while their wives appeared In and enjoyed thfc freedom of short, loose bloomers, .c'Omfortable light blouses and Soil slippers. The small,, exclusive male audience sat high and still, and presently one by one their better halves filed out and took their places In the centre, at the forward and back baskets ana as O' Bryan. gave the signal. guards, and as the referee, Mrs. Harry the game was opened. witn brief interludes the. game was warmlv contested for the Space of an hour and thirty minutes. In the whole game there was not a single foul called out. and with no free throws even' point was closely watched and well made, making an even, well balanced game throughout. First every man watched his own wife, then his atten tion was centered on some other player who was winning glory for herself at every point. Mrs. Helleker is slender and agile, and bobbed up at the most unexpected places agninst her adversary. Mrs. P. B. Ellis is very small, and displayed a faculty in which her stature was a fac tor, for passing under the elbows ol all around her before they were aware of her intentions. Mrs. C. K. Fleming. between whom and Mrs. Baggs a for mer member, lies the State champion ship, call leap more rapidly and more effectively than perhaps any . basket hall plvaer in Colorado, and it seems small difference to her where the bal1 is: if she wants it she usually gets it These three tdavers attracted a great deal of attention by their skilful play- in-r. Then it changed around to Mrs M. 'villi- r.. Black. Mrs. Arthur Rey nolds, and Mrs. .1. A. Keb'er. Mrs. Ar thur Page. Mis. llannan. and Mrs Harry IVhckler did some splendid w ork ill together, and Mrs. Mayhury. Mrs. William Pay Powns. and Mrs. B.

No man could find the least thing pres ent to wound his sensibilities, as he did not know in what heap his own wife might be the next minute. It was tin exciting game and did not seem half as much enjoyed by the ac tive pari Icipants as it was by the on lookers They clapped their hands and -diouteil "1'ruvo." and. spurred on by the earnest applause of their ndtnirine Midieticc. the ladies did Ibcin-dves imniil.
