August 1 the number was 43, and there is a considerable list of accepted patients waiting for vacancies to occur.The 30 patients admitted during the quarter were classified as 13 incipient and 37 moderately advanced.Two were from Addison, two from Ben- nington, one from Caledonia, four from Chittenden, one trom Franklin, two from Lamoille, one from Grand Isle, three from Rutland, four from Washington, two from Windsor, six from Windham, and two from Orleans counties, respectively.This table of geographical distribution shows that even these localities at a greater distance, in the eastern and southeastern part of the state, are beginning to realize more, the importance of sanatorium treatment, and are taking advantage, of the opportunities offered by this institution.Of the 19 cases discharged during the quarter, in whom results of treatment were considered, three were apparently cured, three were arrsted, and seven improved, three remained stationery or grew worse, and one died.In other words, 15, or nearly 80 per cent were distinctly benefited.Some of those discharged will be able to follow out the treatment at home or at least seek out more hygienic training and education received.With the increased number of applications the policy will be to select earlier and more favorable cases, so that in the future even better results ought to be expected.Young Rutland Aviators Buy Aeroplane George and Charles Schmidt of Rut- land have bought an aeroplane of the Curtiss type and will use it on the aviation grounds at Mineola, Long Ie- land, this summer; at the Rutland fair in September; and in the competition for the 830,000 prize for a time trip between New York and St.Louis.Tbis is the first aeroplane to be owned in Vermont, and George Schmid, who is 18 years old is probably the youngest aviator in the country.The young man, who has bèen passing 10 days at the aviation grounds at Hempstead and Mineola, N.Y., during his absence placed an order for an airship.At Mineola, Harman, Baldwin, Russell, and Seymour the noted flyers were engaged in practice work.Mr.Schmidt became a member of the Aeronautic Society of New York.In two weeks the Schmidt brothers will gq to Mineola, put their machine together, and practice the new art of flying until their appearance at the Rutland fair.The wotld\u2019s contest for the shortest time between New York and St.Louis will be held August 15 and January 1.The machine purchased by the Schmidts is a biplane of the Curtiss type of the same size as the machine in which Curties made his sensational fight from Albany to New York a few weeks ago.It will carry a 60-horse power Elbridge featherweight motor, two-cycle, four-cylinder, with the At- water-Kent ignition system.The radiator, in order to give a large cooling surface will bo one of 90-horse power.The propeller will be seven feet in diameter, with a eix-foot pitch, giving a thrust of 276 pounds.The main planes will be 30 feet by four and a half.The machine will weigh 1756 pounds.It will be able to attain a speed of probably 50 miles an hour.In the next two weeks the Schmidts Will practice with the bipianesglider which they have been building during the past few months, and with wbich they have made successful flights.The cloth for the planes has been received.The Schmidts have made a study of aeronautics for several years and George Schmidt last winter established a wireless station at his home.GRIFFIN.Mr.M.W.Bullis and family attended the annual family gathering at Capt.J.C.Bullis\u2019 Cottage, Cedarville, Aug.2nd.A most

County Monitor raises a far-seaching qnestion when it asks what right the state bas to say to a town that it shall ndé drink impure water and shall not polute water thas isto be used for portable purposes and at the same time to legalise the sale of ietoxicating drink that in many respects is definitely worse than impure water.Some people take the ground that nobody should be allowed to sell intoxicating liguor as a beverage.Others insist that there should be no more restrictions on the number of liquor saloons than on the number of drug stores which sell cocaine and other things in this line the use of which may become a dreadful habit with people.No one who bas studied the liquor question or bas noted the extent to which the control of the traffic in intoxicating liquor is being made conspicuous in the political conventions and platforms of the great political parties in numerous states this year needs to be told that this whole problem of dealing with the sale of drugs and liquor for habitual use eepecially remains to be satisfactorily solved.More and more people are taking the stand that the state has a right to control the thing which interfers with the public welfare, and we suspect that here as in other domains of government the principle which should will eventually prevail is \u2018the greatest good of the greatest number.\u201d ' The New Farm School.The prospectus for the incoming school year of the new\u2018agricultural and industrial department of Lyndon Institute, Lyndon Center, is in distribution and an interesting and every way creditable document it is.Brietly the aim of this new department is educating boys for success in agricultural pursuits: The accepted course will cover two years of nine months each, and a notable provision is the combining of the theoretical and practical work in the fleld as well as in the schoolroom.The total expense for a school year is set at $162, which som includes tuition, board, and room, and books, and this extremely moderate sum may be met in'one of two ways, cash or work.Better still, student work will be paid at the rate of fifteen cents an hour in term time, and at the rate of 825 a montb, with board and room, during vacation season.The studies are comprehensive, and yet practical, just such as the farmer needs to be posted upon in administering the affairs of a farm in desired efficiency.For the field work the famed Speedwell farms of Theodore N.Vial are available, and it would be hard to realize a pleasanter, more serviceable situation,.and because of ail this it would seem that in the new department is à school of agriculture with not a single thing lacking, and surely one that is calculated to do great good.STRIKING.C.8.Nesbitt, of Durand, an employe of the Grand Trank who sacrficed bis expectation of a pension of 850 per month from the company, by joining the strikers three weeks before the pension was due, is not to be congratulated for his heroism.He has a family, and they would almost have been justified in initiating a judicial inquiry as to his sanity, for he was hardly fit to exercise his own discretion in flinging away an income that would have stood between then and want as long as he lived.The labour organization which fancied such suicidal loyalty from him was not entirly blameless either, for his continued service to the company for so brief an interval could in no way endanger the success of the strike.If any intelligent workman whose union frequently drags him into strikes would keep a debtor and a creditor account of bis losses by obeying the union and bis profite out of the strikes even when they succeed, he would be astonished how the balance would show on the wrong side.In Nesbitt\u2019s case, the whole account may be on the wrong side.He is too old for any other employment than switching, and it the strike does not succeed, which is more than likely, he will be permently out of a job.Foolish Nesbitt.J.BR.Booth and His Way The J.R.Booth Co.of Ottawa, has paid ite employees, most of whom were thrown out of work for almost a week at the commencement of the G.T.R.strike, full pay for the lost time.The decision came as a surprise, nothing being known by the men until they received the pay envelopes.At noon the whole mill staff called the veteran lumberman out into the yards and publicly thanked him for his generosity.Some of the employees were not out of work the whole week, but the amount paid over voluntarily by the company is understood to be about $12,000.Mr.Bootb, in addressing the men, said he thought that as the men themselves were not responsible for their having to lay off that it would be a pity it they had to starve, as some of them who depended entirely on their week\u2019s wages would almost have to do just because another organisation had decided to go on strike.He was roundly cheered by his army of employees.Dirt bo paire ai Torts, F.W.WHITE Stock and Bond Broker and

Peste\u2014Pacific Fish Which Sings to Its Young.Washington.\u2014Prof.BE.E.Prince of the Canadian Fisheries Service, has given the United States Bureau of Fisheries particulars of a fish that sings while it nurses its young.The account, though remarkably interesting, does not indicate the singing fish is ready, just yet, to take a place in & church choir.According to Prof.Prince the piscatorial songstress is of the genus Porichthys Porissimus (toad fish), and is very unprepossessing in appearance.But it has the peculiar habit of staying beside its egge during their development.\u201cAnd not only sit ting by and watching them,\u201d says the Canadian, \u201cbut singing to them, and as you walk along the Pacific coast beach you hear the strange cooing sound, or kind of croaking sound which the parent fish makes when sitting by her brood and watching them.What the meaning is we cannot as yet surmise.\u201d Prof.Willlam P.Seal claims to have found a breed of tiny fish which eat mosquitoes with such greediness they will rid any neighborhood in which they are put of the malarial pest.New York will soon be rid of the bad Anopheles, he says, if her people will cultivate the \u201cGambusia Afinus,\u201d a small fish now found on the South Atlantic coast from Delaware to Florida.A still smaller species of another genus \u201cHebranda Formosa,\u201d about half an inch in length, is generally to be found with \u201cGambusia,\u201d and is of the same general character.Both of these species are known as top minnows, from their habit of being at the surface and feeding there.They bave protruding lower jaws.Both are to be found in vast pum- bers in the South in the shallow mar gins of lakes, ponds and streams in the tidewater regions.They are also to be found in shallow ditches and surface drains, even where the water 18 but a fraction of an inch deep.They find thelr way to the remotest possible breeding places of the mosquitoes and eat the mosquito larvae by the million.Prof.Seal also advises Northerners to cultivate gold fish and two small kinds of sun fish, known as the \u201croach\u201d and the \u201cshiner,\u201d which live among plants.The gold fish is lagy, but eats immense numbers of mosquito larvae.But it is cannibalistic.The top minnows are foragers, always on the move in search for food, skimming over the tops of plants with restless energy.\u201cWhile the children,\u201d says Prof.Seal, \u201care being stuffed with Greek, Latin and geometry; they do not learn how to prevent the growth of mosquitoes about their own homes, or how properly to screen the houses in which they live.\u201d OO00000000000000000000000 Average Salary of Ministers $663.Washington.\u2014 The average .annual salary of a minister of the gospel was $663 in

FOWLS.Terre Haute Man Sat in Buggy While Animal Robbed Henneries.Terre Haute, Ind.\u2014The mystery of many thefts of chickens in the eastern part of the city was solved when a bulldog, trained for the purpose, was caught.The owners of the henneries had been unable to see any one about their premises and could not understand how the chickens were taken.One night a watch was set at a house and when a buggy was driven to the end of an alley it was expected that a man would alight and proceed to the poultry yard.Instead, a bulldog jumped to the ground, entered the chicken house and soon returned with a chick en in its mouth to the man in the bug- gr.The dog went for a second fowl and the watchers locked it in the chicken house.The dog\u2019s captors are now trying to trace its

Movement.A Quebec correspondent writes: Lieut.-Gen R.8.B.Badeu-Powell, K.O.B.hero of Mafeking, and leader of the boy scout movement, arrived on Canada roll Friday afternoon by the Empress of Ireland.He is the besuideal of a soldier, spare of frame, lithe and quick in movemeut, of mediom height, and with tanned face.His gray eyes gleamed enthusiasm as he spoke of the subject nearest to his heart, He was standing at the gangway of the boat watching his sixteen scouts from England convey their kits and baggage from the hold.\u201cLook at that,\u201d he said, with pride, stig not that a justification of my movement.You see how quickly, carefully and methodically they do their work compared to the dock laborers.\u201d He soon plunged into the defence shame.\u201cFive of those boy there can take a band at twenty five different handi- nrafts.Primarily, I am here to arouse Canadian enthusiasm to a higher pitch than ever on the movement.It is Empire-like now in its significance.Even foreign countries are following suit.\u2018You are accused of militarism\" «It is unjust; my training will amplify the school training, it teaches self-control the beauty of discipline, and the nobility work; allied to the moral side.is the useful everyday\u2019s side.The scout boys are taught to sew, to carve, to shoot, to do all things which the hands are intended to do.We go further tban the boys who sre unable to do auything for themsefves, exsbpt act asmessengers.This training enables them to enter good ugeful occupations.\u201d % \u201cYou don\u2019t regret the army?\u201d \u201cNo, not at all; I left it for this mvement I intend to consecrate myself to this cause, which is getting beyond all bonds in its importance.But one point I wish you to emphasize to your readers is this: The technical side of the movement, allied to the mnral side, is supreme.Of course, I do not object to our boys entering the army, but I wish to teach them above all things to use intelligently for the good of their creatures the faculties which their Creator has given them.If I succeed in enthusing Canada somewhat, my work will not have been bone in vain.In England it has the approval of King and country, and why not bere?\u201cI understand you have a moevment here but I wish it to be greater.\u201d BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT, The boy scout movement has spread thronghout the whole of the British Empire.In Canada there are not less than 19 committees organized, and in Toronto they have already registered 36 troops containing about 1,500 scouts all fully uniformed.The objects of the movement may be summed up in the two words \u201cCharacter Building.\u201d This is just one of the many ways that have been tried to obtain this result, and the reason that it has proved such a success because it appeals to the boy.The average boy has a good deal of time for recreation and more often than not he does not know what to do with it.It is not altogether his fault if he wastes the larger part of it loafing about the streets.Scouting gives the boy something to take an interest in.It is endeavored to train his character by means of games, etc.The fundamental idea is to give the boy as much res- ponsibillity as possible, and to trust him on his honor to do bis best.Generally speaking his best is obtained.The boys are divided up into patrols of eight boys; in every patrol, one boy is made the patrol leader and another the corporal.The patrol leader is responsible for the good behaviour of all boys in his patrol.Three or more patrols go to make a troop.The training which is given to the boys comprises amongst others things\u2014the following: Firat aid to the injured; signalling by semaphore, and the morre code, smoke signals woodcraft, camping, cooking, shooting, tracking, swimming, life saving, observation, self reliance, discipline, endurance, duty, partrotism, history of the Empire, courtesy, cheerfulness, map drawing, finding his way by the sun, stars, by map, by compass, pioneering, and last, but not least, he must do a good turn to someone every day.The method adopted to teach the scouts the above have been as far as possible through games and yarns round the camp fire rather than fromal lectures.Thein- terest of the boy is kept up on account of the variety of subjects dealt with.He is also encouraged to become proficient in the different snbjects by by being giving badges for every subect in which he can pass a satisfactory examination.EAST STANSTEAD.Mr.Geo.Coffran and daughter, Lizzie, of Derby Center spent Sunday at

PROPOSITION.What has recently been advanced in behalf of United States railways\u2019 claims to an increase in their freight charges, has been illustrated in the case of the Canadian roads in connection with the late award of the board acting under the conciliation law.From the nature of things wages enter more largely into the cost of operating the railways than in connection with any other industry.When to Nhe date fixed for closin wages is added the cost of fuel and material, in the production of which the cost of labor is a main factor, may be said that there is no business which pays out so large a proportion of its gross receipts to the actual worker as the railway.Some statements just issued illustrate the point.In the year ending with June 30, 1909, the grose

those in the neighboring parts of the United States some things are forgotten.That, however, is aside.Canadian roads must pay approximately the same as those over the border or they will not retain good men.When, however, they have to increase the rates of pay for their men, and for their supplies, faster than they can increase their traffic and traffio earnings they find their financial position growing weaker.The estimate is that in twelve years up to 1910 the cost of labor on the Canadian raiiways increased by 30 per cent., that of supplies, material and equipment, exclusive of lumber, by 44 per cent., and that of lumber by 65 per cent.The companies have been able to maintain their standing by the large and effective expenditure of money on track and rolling stock equipment.Tracks have beenstraight- | ened and doubled, the grades on them | reduced, and the lines laid with heavier rails.Bridges have been etrength- ened.The power of locomotives and tbe capacity of care increased till a train\u2019s freight tonnage is almost or quite double what it was a score of years ago.The benefit has not all been to the railway share and bond holders.Rates have been reduced by some fractions of a cent à ton a mile, that seems nothing stated by itself but that multiplied by the tens of millions of tons carried a mile means a large saving to those who pay transportation charges.The roads, however, cannot continuously go on spending money on improvements and increasing wages and operating outlays and maintain their financial standing unless they can also increase their earnings in proportion near to that of the growing demands upon them.The calculation is made that the increase to the trainmen just recommended by the board of conciliation, when conceded, and made the basis of couces- sions to other branches of labor, will raise the percentage of the cost of wages ou Canadian roads as a whole from 43!, to about 54!; per cent.of the gross earnings.Business men will appreciate what that will mean in its effect on the net earnings.A large increase in the cost of working the roads cannot be considered alone.It the companies are to meet their responsibilities, maintain their credit and keep themselves in a position to meet greater demands on their facili- liver any of the above at short notice.TILTON & RAYMOND, Smith's Miils, Que.THE

had, however, made such progress that there was no hope of saving the building and the attention of the crowd which quickly gathered was directdd towards the adjoining property, recently purchased by Mr.E.LeBaron and ocoupied by T.D.Hunter, who, with F.O.Webster, assisted by a corps of willing workers put up a strenuous fight to save building.At times the task was thought a fruitless one, but by persevering effort, the flames were at last subdued.Both the outside and inner part of the building is considerably damaged, which fortunately is covered by insurance.The shop was also insured but the stock and tools are a total loss.A painful incident, in connection with the early Sunday morning blaze, was the sudden collapse of Mrs.Wood, who was among the spectators and whose house is near the scene of the fire.She was at once removed to her home and restoratives applied, to which she soon responded, and is now rapidly regaining her usual health.Upon the same occasion Mrs.E.Le- Baron narrowly escaped serious injury, by falling upon a pile bf debris, from a height of 3 or 4 feet, badly bruising her right arm and severely epraining her wrist and shoulder.Note\u2014Since writing the

Theme: NECESSITY OF IDEALS.+++ BY REV.GEORGE DOWNING SPARKS.+++ Text\u2014I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills\u2014Psaim, exxi, 1.+++ It was no haphazard chance, but the yielding to a natural instinct, that men in early times offered up their sacrifices on the tops of mountains.God seemed to be nearer on a lofty peak than in the valley below.Heaven appeared to touch the earth when the clouds kissed the hilitops.This was the thought that stirred the heart of primitive man; and to-day, 1 imagine, the majority of us can think of God more easily when we gaze from some towering elevation into \u201cthe silence of the starry sky\u201d and feel, almost as a divine Presence, \u201cthe sleep among the lonely hills.\u201d It 1s absolutely necessary for us to have Ideals.If we have none, then we will sink to the level of the beasts of the field.We will go through life as dumb driven cattle, and not as heroes with the light of God shining in our faces.If we wish worthily to achieve our destiny, then there must ever be before us \u201cthe vision splendid.\u201d Our religion, as the highest of ideals, beckons us upward and bids us go forward and practice what we believe in dally life and duty.If it be true that most men \u2018\u201cchatter and love and hate, gather and squander, are raised aloft, are hurled in the dust, striving blindly, achieving nothing,\u201d then let it not be trie of us.We can, if we will, cherish some splendid ideal of character and service.Many men have done this.History glitters with their names.Why cannot we do likewise?Let us therefore determine to be \u201cgouls temper\u2019d with fire,\u201d and refuse to look upon life as something mean and contemptible.It is good, notwithstanding what cowards and croak- ers say to the contrary.It is always our own fault if we let it be barren and fruitless.\u201cLook up,\u201d then.must be our motto, not \u201clook down.\u201d Look at the things which make for righteousness and peace, not at the things which produce sin and discord.Keep our eyes on the things that are true, honest, pure and of good report.So gazing, cur eyes will be effectually turned away from things false, impure and low.We shall have oportunities every day, almost every hour, of showing our philosophy of life.It depends entirely upon ourselves in what direc: tion we will direct our gaze: toward those things which will lift us up or drag us down; toward the snow capped mountain peaks, glittering in the sunlight, or to the dark, foul, fever haunted swamps of the valley.Bunyan, in his \u201cPilgrim's Progress,\u201d gees a man with a muck rake.Over his head hovers an angel proffering him a celestial crown for that which he holds in his hands.But the man will not look up ang continues to rake together the sticks and straws on the floor.It is a true picture, grim in its reality, of a man with no ideals, the saddest kind of a human tragedy.\u201cIt Doth Not Yet Appear.\u201d The Bible is our only source of information concerning the future life.Almost everyone hus, at some time in life, earnestly wished to know more about Heaven than the Bible has revealed.But we are not sure that a fuller and clearer revelation would gerve any good purpose.Perhaps it would render men discontented with their present lot and untit for present duty.Perhaps there is no power iu human language to convey to men'\u2019s minds a fuller and clearer idea of the heavenly world.It may be that in our present state we do not possess the capacity to comprehend these things even if they could be uttered in human speech.Whatever be the reason for the comparative obscurity in which this interesting subject has been left, it is enough for us to know that there 18 a holy city where the saints of God are being gathered home to be forever with the Lord.We are invited to enter through the gates into that city, and the few faint glimpses of that heavenly place are enough to win our hearts to a holy life, and to cheer -us on our journey through this vale of tears.\u2014Christian Advocate.Go Tell Thy Father.Whatsoever it is that presses thee, go, tell thy Father, put over the matter into His hand, and so thou shalt be freed from that dividing, perplex: ing care that the world is full of.When thou art either to do or suffer anything, when thou art about any purpose or business, go tell God of it and acquaint him with it; yea, burden him with it, and thou hast done for matter of caring: no more care, but quiet, sweet diligence in thy duty, and dependence on him for the carriage of thy matters.Roll thy cares, and thy self with them, as one burden, all on thy God.\u2014R.Leighton.Through the resurrection of Christ the believer has victory; hot only over sin and the law, but thanks be to God over death and the grave.\u2014 CG.J.Felty.Wn GBT DN PT ADRIAN ATARI.UMA = Te MONKEYS FIND AN EASY MARK, Collect Prof, Haggesty\u2019s Bananas «6 He Teats Thelr Iimitative Faculties.Because it was a very hot day and news was dull the city editor sent a reporter to the New York Bronx Zoo to gee how Melvin Haggerty, a Harvard Professor, is getting along in the monkey house, where he is spend- ng the summer in the interest of Cambridge culture.He is getting a line or several lines, on the intelll- gence of the intelligent monk.Tbe City Editor wanted some too.You don't need a guide to point Haggerty.as you su the monkey cages.Haggerty hal his clothes on.strolling up to the cage the reporter asked pleasantiy: Does it seem sort of natural In there?\" Although his name does not sound as if he came from Harvard, there can be no doubt thut Haggerty knows bis Back Bay and that he is bearing well in mind that a certain other {l- lustrious alumnus is going to get $1- a word for all he says about animals, Therefore Mr, Haggerty is not going to°give gratis to the public print what he is finding out from his association with the monkeys.If it does feel naturfil for him to be with them, he is not going to tell the reporters, and he did not tell this one.But once out of the cage, the young man of science is quite like other folk, and talks enthusiastically of the possibilities of just what monkeys think of the rest of mankind.He's been with the monkeys quite a while now, and already he knows more tricks than Marceline ever dreamed of.It is stated on good authority, however, nat Haggerty will not be turned frofh his serious purpose by any tempting offers he may get from the stage.He is there to study monkey psychology to the end that Newport may not have anything on Harvard in the future.His able assistants are two cultured ringtatled monkeys who are sald to be honor ary graduates of the university.At any rate they are high'y educated and extremely useful as the connecting links\u2014or missing links, if you will\u2014between Haggerty and the other inhabitants of the cages, Haggerty has started in with the twenty ringtalls of the Zoo, and when he wrings out all the knowledge that they possess he will pass up the scale until he reaches Baldy, the chimpanzee.It is no secret in the monkey house that Baldy ts \u201claying\u201d for the Haggerty person, and that it will take a full-sized Harvard intellect and some muecle to cope with the big fellow.It may all end with chimpanzee literature being enriched by a treatise from Baldy on \u2018What |! Know About Man.\u201d There are a iew other things coming Hag- gerty\u2019s way, so the keepers say, with ominous shakes of the head.One of the young man's methods of finding out how much sense the monkeys possess is bY a trick box in .nant « whieh he places food.The monk who discovers how to open the box is considered to be far more jutelli- Bent than the one who rudely demolishes the apparatus in order to get what is inside.But the latter mon- Key eats first .Haggerty first lets one of his pet monkeys open the box in iull view of the cage full of monkeys.There is great excitement when the animal who has bad the benefit of a Harvard education pulls out a banana.But Jet it be said to the credit of higher education in the Bronx, that the Zoo monkeys have proved themselves apt puplis.While they don't display the _\u2014 Ly finesse that only the Cambridge at- mpsphere gives, nevertheless they generally get the banana, and that\u2019s what counts here in New York.Another apparatus used by the Professor 1a a rope operating through a pulley suspended from the ceiling.A banana is attachec to the upper end of the rope, while the lower end dangles just above a hole in a plat- orm resting under the apparatus.The trick monkeys lower away on & rope until the fruit descends within reach, Recently Harrigan, a big muscled monk, was led out of his cage, after he had seen the trick performed a number of times.Plainly showing lack of education, Harrigan grabbed the rope violently and pulled the whole business down.The Harvard monkeys chattered their disgust as Harrigsn ran off with the banana.Prof.Haggerty is taking his job very seriously, and does most of his stunts while the public is not around.So don\u2019t go up to the Zoo expecting to see a free show.It gigantic size may be judged by Buried Church Treasure in England.There must be a good deal of treasure in the form of church plate and so forth concealed in different parts of the country, as quantities of 1t were buried at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries.There are two legends in Worcestershire regarding some silver bells, for instance, which have been handed down most persistently from one generation to another, since the sixteenth century.One version of the story is that the bells were buried by the last Abbott of Evesham, Abbot Litchfield, In a subterranean passage which formerly existed between the abbey and a house on the opposite pank of the river, while the other story has it that a peal of silver bells was buried at the same period (the dissolution of the monasteries) at Abbots Morton, a village ten miles distant from Evesham.\u2014Wide World Magazine.Thought Mail Was White Man's Food The Rev.Hiram Bingham who arrived here from Honolulu on the liner Alameda, is one of the most picturesques figures in the modern history of the South Seas.His life has been devoted to work in and for the Gilbert Islands, which he first visited in 1867.\u2018When he first visited the Gilbert Islands the natives had no knowledge of writing and had never seen paper.The first mail that arrived for the missionaries was stolen by the native carrier to whom it was entrusted and distributed in particles to the other natives, who ate the scraps under the {impression that they were some kind of white man\u2019s Yood.\u2014San Francisco Chronicle, A Freak Rose Bush, W.R.Wilson, the president of the Huntingdon Borough Council, hag an oddity at his home on Miffiin street in the form of a perfectly white rose blooming on a rose bush which has borne only red roses and on which all the other flowers now blooming are red.The rose is a climbing rambler, and about eight feet from the ground up the side of the house the one perfectly white rose has grown, standing out prominently among the red ones surrounding it.\u2014\u2014Philadeliphia Record.A Stone in Which 80 People Live, During the course of the centuries the enormous stone known as Yermo- loffs Rock has been so tunnelled that it resembles a gigantic rabbit- warren.In its interior, says a Rus- man paper, live five families, numbering no fewer than 30 people.The stone is in the Caucasus, within half à mile of the Georgian military road.The Jap's Increase, As a result of its war with Russia the area of Japan's territory was raised from 189,000 square miles to 388,000 square miles, and her population increased dy

connect the \u2018ports of Tampico and Tuzpam.It is now about one-half finished and will cost about $5,000,000 Mexican money, which is equivalent to $2,600,000 gold.It is 75 feet wide and has a uniform depth of 10 1-2 feet.The first division of 66 miles is now practically finished and is open for traffic.It is expected that the waterway will be opened all the way through for small boats with im two years.This waterway runs within from two to five miles of the Gulf along its whole length.Its construction grew out of the fact that there are frequently days at a time when small boats engaged in coastwise trade are unable to weather the rough water of the Gulf and that there is insufficient water over the bar at the mouth of the Tuxpam River at times to enable the boats to reach the barbor at Tuxpam.Another great incentive that led to the building ef the canal was that it would be the means of developing a broad agricultural region that has heretofore been badly lacking in trans portation facilities for {its various products.; The Tampico-Tuxpam caual follows the route of an inland waterway which has been in use for more than three-quarters of a century.Capt.Charles Shillaber of Chicago is constructing the canal for the Mexican Government ob & percentage basis.\u2019 He had made a comfortable fortune, had just reached his sixtieth year and bad planned to spend the remainder of his life in comfort and enjoyment.Chancing to visit Mexico on a pleasure trip he conceived the possibilities of tmproving the old waterway, brought patte to the attention of the Govern t and undertook to do.the work, The Shoeblack's Work.It is wonderful what a wide patronage the men have who shine women\u2019s shoes nowadays.Once upon a time every woman cleaned her own footwear or got the maid to do it for her, and everything from cold cream to a crackly varnish that was applied with a little sponge on the end of a wire, was used to keep the boots in condition.; I£ milady did the work herself it was a lengthy process, for first the renovator had to be applied with a bit of velvet or the sponge, then the polishing took place, and then her industrious ladyship took an hour or so to make her hands presentable after the operation, using her manicuring implements with much vigor and muttering that such labor fell to her lot.The man who polishes one\u2019s shoes for ten cents or a nickel, whichever he thinks his patron will be willing to give, does the job in five minutes.He's very expeditious if he\u2019s anything, and he's very acquiescent to one\u2019s wishes.He says \u201cyessum\u201d to the woman who tells him \u201cMy shoes are calfskin and so they'll have to be regularly blackened,\u201d and \u201cyessum\u201d to the woman who begs \u201cDon\u2019t put any polish on those patent tips.\u201d Then he uses the fluid from one bottle for all kinds of leathers, adds a mite of a salve, distributes both impartially over tips and uppers and vamps\u2014everywhere, in fact, except the backs\u2014uses a piece of flannel with lightning rapidity, makes a low salaam and madame steps out of the chair a little conscious of her rusty heelbacks, but fain to content with the operation as it stands.It is better than doing one's own polishing or dependenting upon the charity of Mary Anne, and so the bootblack man is a popular individual nowadays, and his little idosyncrasies are lightly overlooked.Diplomatic Rewards.The rewards for conspicuous ser vice rendered by our Ambassadors and Ministers are in no sense commensurate with those received by the representatives of other governments.With the other great powers, if a diplomat renders some notably valuable service, such as preventing a destructive war or securing a treaty of vast political or commercial importance, he may be given a better post, be pro moted in rank, have bestowed upon him some coveted decoration, or even be made a peer of the realm.An American who performs a similar service receives official congratulations and gratifying expressions of appreciation from his Government, but there the reward ceases.But there remains, of course, the best incentive to super for exertion\u2014the satisfaction of doing one\u2019s duty.\u2014From Gen.Horace Port: er\u2019s \u201cShould the Government Own Its Embassies?\u201d in the Century.African Secret Society.The Sese

marry, but never had the chance, are not likely to confess the facts very frankly.The spinster who makes her plaint under the title \u201cWhy Do Not Educated Women Marry?\u201d in a recent number of Independent, probably wouldn't have made it if she had been compelled to sign her name.But \u201cAn Unwilling Celibate\u201d might be any one of millions of women.This celibate therefore, regarding

cleaner designed by a Michigan man.This not ouly enables a woman to keep her kitchen sink clean by having the pipe free, but it saves the expense which is sometimes incurred of having the pipe cleaned by a plumber.= A long rubber hose has its upper end adapted to be fitted to the faucet.The lower end terminates In a bell mouth which is made thick at the top to prevent ita collapsing and thin at the extremity to form a flexible lip.This lip is fitted over the drain and held there by suction and the water turned on.In this way the full pressure of water 1s forced through the drain pipe, flushing it very effectually and washing out all the extraneous matter that is bound to accumulate no matter how careful & woman or her servants may be\u2014and the latter are often not careful at all.There is also a lateral air inlet near the top of the hose, : New Use for Old Bachelors.The \u201cman chaperon\u201d is a novelty in London and he promises tb become permanent.Taking out a girl relative or

declaring that alfalfa would only grow in cer tain soils and in certain climates it \u2018has proven adaptabdility to nearly all climates and almost al] soils, says Co- burn\u2019s Book on Alfalfa.It produces with a rainfall as scant as 14 inches, and in the gulf states flourishes with 65 inches.It gives crops at an eleva tion of 8,000 feet above sea level, and in southern California it grows below sea level to a height of six feet or over, with nine cuttings a year, aggregating ten to twelve tons.An authenticated photograph in possession of the writer shows a wonderful alfalfa plant raised in the (irrigated) desert of southern California, 60 feet below sea level, that measures considerably more than ten feet in height.Sat isfactory crops are raised, but on limited areas as yet, in Vermont and Florida.New York has grown it for over 100 years in her clay and gravel; Nebraska grows it in her western sand hills without plowing, as does Nevada on her sagebrush desert.The depleted cotton soils of Alabama and rich corn lands of Illinois and Missouri each respond generously with profitable yields to the enterprising farmer, while its accumulated nitrogen and the sub-soiling it effects are making the rich land more valuable and giving back to the crop-worn land the priceless elements of which it has been in successive generations despoiled by a conscienceless husbandry.Trellis WIil 8tand Alone.A plant support or garden trel*s, such as shown in the illustration, is very handy tn the garden.The double form of trellis can be folded up and takes very little room.Al trellises and stakes shoud be gathered as soon as the crop is harvested and Trellis Stands Alone.stored under cover until the next ses son.They are useful for tomatoes, beans, peas, cucumbers, etc.The double trellis is built of two pieces of 2x3, which are bolted together for eaeh leg and the top held in place by a plece of string or wire.Blackberry Plantation.A blackberry plantation if properly cared for, cultivated and fertilized, will produce profitable crops for 12 or 15 years without resetting.One great advantage of the blackberry is that this fruit is one that does not have to come in competition with a southern grown supply as is the case with strawberries and some other kinds.The markets are often flooded for weeks or months with southern grown fruit before the home grown has had time to mature.This is a condition that the blackberry does not have to meet.How to Measure Hay.It is difficult to measure hay in the stack, owing to the varying degrees of the settling of the hay.Good timothy hay, thoroughly settled in a mow, occupies about 350 cubic feet to the ton; if partly settled a ton will measure 400 to 450 cubic feet; while new hay takes 500 cubic feet for a tom.It 1s not easy to determine the exact cubic contents of a stack, so that only the approximate weight can be secured without the use of scales.Protect Your Machinery.Do not leave your farming implements out in the weather when you get through with them.If you are not going to use them for a few days put them under cover, as it might possibly rain.The amount lost in the depre- clation of the machinery left in the open would soon build a big shed which in the long run costs less than a smaller one.Planting on Four-inch Break.Planting seed on a three or four fnch break is like trying to raise a crop on a rag carpet and very discouraging \u2018ov a beginner, but at the same time through lack of horse power this may be the only way, and the next best thing to do is to make strenuous efforts to get down deeper as quickly as possible every succeeding year.\\ Blame Poor Methods.The man who always gets most seriously out of humor with the dairy business is the man who keeps so called dual purpose, unprofitable cows.He sees that his milk checks do not show a profit and he is free to place the djame upon the business rather than upon poor methods.\u2014.\u2014\u2014 .- © MAN AND THE RAY.Twe

in numbers and range, and able to maintain themselves anywhere in the world against all rivals.These two are man and the rats.The genus Homo and the genus Mus go everywhere and eat everything.They are the two creatures that dwell in houses and travel in ships.Each drives its other rivals to the wall; but neither, except locally and for brief periods, has ever come near to exterminating the other.Civilized man has fought the common rat for 200 years, and the battle is still drawn.The Faust Legend.For 1,400 years the Faust legend\u2014 the sale of a human soul to a devil\u2014 has existed.The first recorded hint of its vitality is given in the sixth century story of \u201cTheophilus.\u201d That story suited the early Christians in their efforts to stamp out the necro- mancing devices of evilly-disposed persons prone to seek power .by unholy means.The association of the name of Faust, however, with the legend is not more than 400 years old.The likeliest prototype of the modern Faust is the man of the same name | who in Cracow boldly proclaimed himself a professor of magic.In the sixteenth century stories of Helen of Troy was bestowed by Mephistopheles upon Faust, and not until the middle of the eighteenth century does there appear a shadowy Margaret, in the form of a \u201cbeautiful but poor girl,\u201d who afterward develops into the Margaret of Goethe, Engraving by Telegraph.Monsieur Carbonelle, a Belgian, has invented an apparatus by means of which a picture can be reproduced by telegraph in the form of an engraved plate, from which printed copies may be immediately taken.The picture to be sent is printed with thick, non-con- ducting ink, and wound round a revolving cylinder, over which passes a stylus electrically connected with the telegraph-line.At the receiving end a similar cylinder is encased with lead, or other soft metal, on which presses the point of a graver.The variations of intensity in the current produced by the stylus passing over the picture at the transmitting station cause the graver to cut more or less deeply, and thus to produce a typographic copy of the original, which may be placed without change on the printing-press.The Nature of Radiobes.A year ago a considerable sensation was caused by the announcement of Mr.Burke of Cambridge, England, that through the action of radium upon sterilized gelatin he had produced what appeared to be living germs, to which he gave the name of radiobes.Mr.Burke has since written a book on these enigmatical things.More recent experiments by Mr.W.A.D.Rudge indicate that radiobes are not in any sense living things, and that they are not even a product of radio-activity.Mr.Rudge shows that they are precipitates of an insoluble sulphate due to the presence of barium, and that their \u201cgrowth\u201d is simply a chemical process.Radio-active substances, Mr.Rudge says, never produce \u201cradiobes,\u201d except when they contain barium.The Cutting Blowpipe.The addition of a jet of compressed oxygen to the flame of the oxyacetylene blowpipe makes of it a wonderful tool for cutting iron and steel.In using the apparatus, the metal to be eut is first heated red-hot by the ok- yacetylene flame.Then a stop-cock is opened, admitting in the center of the flame a very thin jet of compressed oxygen.This cuts with great rapidity, the section being as thin as a knife blade.The best-hardened steel can thus be cut with ease.Plates 10 millimeters thick and a meter broad have been cut in two with the blowpipe in 4 1-2 minutes.Plates 100 millimeters thick have been cut in 9 or 10 minutes.In a recent experiment a safe of the strongest and best construction was cut open with this strange tool in 20 minutes.Australian Coal.Since the Hispano-American and Russo-Japanese wars, the question of coal-supply in the far East has assumed a new importance, and the search for the black mineral is pursued in all promising quarters.Among the great Oriental coal deposits are those of New South Wales, and particular attention is now paid to thelr development.Two of them have been known for more than 100 years, and the story of their discovery is interesting.At Coal Clift, south of Sydney, shipwrecked sailors were astonished to find cliffs of pure coal bordering the sea.At Hunter River the coal deposits were found by the commander of an English ship of war, who, while chasing pirates, landed a party to take water.REINDEER TO SAVE LABRADOR FUTURE Success of Dr.Grenfell\u2019s Experiment in Importing Them from Lapland Promises Well HERD IS LARGELY INCREASED May Replace the Savage Sledge Dog, Which Now Makes Impossible the Keeping of Domestic Animale\u2014They Are as Flerce as Wolves.8t.John's, N.F.\u2014The introduction of real Santa Claus reindeer from Lapland into Labrador seems to have proved a great success.The herd of 300 deer imported with their drivers by Dr.Wilfrid Grenfell has increased wonderfully the last Winter, and if aid is given by the Government, as is expected, a new industry will have been instituted, and the settlers in Labrador and Northern Newfoundland will be rescued from the starvation fate which threatened them as a result of the rapid extermination of the harp seal.The trouble always has been that it was impossible to keep domestic animals in the northern country on account of the dogs.The reindeer, if it take the place of the dog as a draught animal, will also supply milk and meat, clothes and bedding for the inhabitants.AS D.W.Prowse, Newfoundland\u2019s bis- torian, has called attention to this phase of Dr.Grenfell's labors for the northern settlers in a letter in which he also includes the missionary\u2019s own views on the work.He says: \u201cOf all the services rendered to this country by Dr.Grenfell the most philanthropic first, was his giving up a wonderfully lucrative practice in London to work up along; second, was his introduction of reindeer with their Lapp drivers into Labrador and Northern Newfoundland.It is expected that the reindeer will take the place of the seal, which has been all but exterminated.\u201d Efforts to domesticate the native caribou have never been successful, but as the reindeer have been permitted to run loose, it is believed and hoped that they will interbreed, with the result that a larger and hardler animal will be produced.The success of the experiment means hope for the natives even if the Government takes no action to preserve the now almost exterminated seal, and Mr.Prowse says, \u201cIt calls for & Government grant to import more deer.\u201d But there Is one consideration which should be insisted upon, the historian says, and that is that no dogs be permitted to run loose.He says: \u201cThe Labrador dogs are as savage as a wolf.They have been known to Kill a whole flock of sheep simply through wanton lust for slaughter.None of the sheep was eaten.Every season some poor settler or Eskimo is killed by these murderous brutes.\u201cSo savage are the dogs that it has been impossible to keep any kind of domestic animal.Cows, goats, chickens, sheep, swine, even horses are dragged down and killed.One child was almost eaten alive by the brutes.It was saved by its mother, who was herself terribly chewed up.Both were taken to the mission at Battle Harbor, where they were cured after many months.\u201d In a letter received by Mr.Prowse from Dr.Grenfell, the latter said regarding his experiments in the introduction of the reindeer: \u201cWe have conquered the ice and the opposition of the North Atlantic and forced its reluctant waters to pay us a handsome annual tribute of cod, hali- dut, salmon, herring, seals and whales.But the land from which man generally first exacts payments, has yet yleld- ed nothing.*It does, however, seem that if man can\u2019t transform these hundreds of thousands of unoccupied acres into pasture lands for ordinary cattle he can reverse the process and transform the cattle into extraordinary ones to meet the possibilities of the country.\u201cTo us, struggling with the condi tions obtaining here, the endless quantity of nutritious mosses available all Winter, the varied edible herbs and grasses, pointed unmistakably to a repetition of the successful reindeer in Alaska.\u201cOur own experiment began three years ago with a shipment of 300 deer and three Lapp families from Alten Fyorde, in Lapland, north of the North Cape.\u201cThe deer got but a cold reception.They were landed on and scattered over the frozen sea surface, but they all found their way to land by aid of deer with bells on being posted at distances along the land.*It had been a wild Fall, followed by a sharp December without snow.and the poor beasts, after their long sea voyage across the Atlantic in the dex:d of Winter, found the moss buried In sheet ice, known here as \u2018glitter.Everything seemed against them.\u201cThere is room in Labrador tor feeding easily 3,000,000 or more rein deer, enabling it to export hundred.of thousands of skins and carcasse annually, while the help to othe branches of industry, like pulp produc ing, mining, fisheries, etc, that thu presence of this herd any of this pop: lation would be is selfapparent.\u201d AMONG-THE HOUYMNHNME, Rossevelt Also Doss the Obvious In Hungary.Luncheon over, the inspection of the Goverament farm began.I doubt whether anywhere west of here in Europe one could see such beautiful Arab thoroughbreds as the plume tailed, full eyed stallions which were led out, prancing, snorting and quiver ing,

loose box, round the sides of which a hundred brood mares stood tethered, while foals frolicked in the open space in the middle on the sweet smelling straw.In one stable by the side of a white half blood Arab mare stood a tiny bay filly born early this very morning.The fitting thing to do was obvious.The ex-President bestowed upon it the name \u201cRoosevelt\u201d The visit ended with a rounding up of the herds of stately white wide horned cattle and flocks of a large breed of sheep\u2014Lon- don Daily Mail.' Domesticating the Elephant.It was long a disputed question whether the African elephant was amenable to domestication.Those who held the afirmative referred to the experience of the Carthaginians with these animals, and recalled the elephants that formed a part of Hannibal's army on his march toward Rome.At present elephants are being trained for domestic labors in the Congo, in the German African col.onles, in Uganda and elsewhere.In the Congo especially it is reported that the training of elephants is rapidly developing into a recognized industry.A French society has recently been formed under the name of \u201cFriends of the Elephant,\u201d the object of which is to prevent the destruction of those animals in Africa, and to encourage their domestication.The Great Eastern.The dimensions of the one-time world-famous Great Eastern were as follows: Length, 692 feet; width, 83 feet; depth, 60 feet; tonnage, 24,000 tons; draught, when unloaded, 20 feet, when loaded, 30 feet.She had paddle wheels 56 feet in diameter, and.was also provided with a four-bladed screw propeller of 24 feet diameter.She had accommodations for 800 first-class, 2,000 second class, and 1,200 third class passengers, 4,000 in all.Her speed was about 18 miles an hour.The Great Eastern was finally broken up for old iron in the year 1889, after a checkered career of some thirty-one years.\u201cDew Ponds.\u201d Among the most singular archeological remains found in Great Britain are the ancient \u201cdew ponds,\u201d the construction of which is ascribed to people of the Neolithic age.The purpose of these ponds was to furnish drinking water for cattle.An exposed position, where springs were absent, was selected and a broad, hollowed surface was formed, and covered over with straw, or some other non-conduct- ing material.Above was spread a thick layer of clay strewn with stones.During the night the cold surface of the clay caused an abundance of mols- ture to condense from the lower lay- ors of the air.Some of these ancient dew ponds are still in working order.The Praetorian Guard.The Praetorian Guard was a select body of troops Instituted by the Emperor Augustus to protect his person, and consisted of ten cohorts, each of one thousand men, chosen from Italy.They bad peculiar privileges, and when they had served sixteen years were retired on a pension of about $500.Each member of the Guard had the rank of a captain in the regular army.Like the bodyguard of Louis the Fourteenth, they were all gentle men, and formed graduully a great power, like the Janizarles at Constantinople, and frequently deposed or elevated the very Emperors themselves.Protection for Miners.Workers in certain mines, as well as in glass and mirror factories, are subject to injurious effects from the inhalation of mercury vapors.An Ital- fan savant, Signor Tarugl, believes that the property of aluminum to absorb mercuric vapors may be utilized for protection against this danger, and he has devised for the purpose 8 mask of aluminum wire to be worn over the face.His idea is that the air breathed will be freed from the injurious vapors through their absorption by the aluminum.Some War Losses.Southern remittances to the North began to grow unsatisfactory some time before the election of 1860, and after that grew still more uncertain, stopping entirely the next year.When the war began there was due from the South to the merchants of the North $300,000,000, all of which was practi cally a total loss, its payment being meade a criminal offense.New York firms lost $160,000,000 in this way; the dry-goods merchant, the clothiers, the boot and shoe dealers, and the jowellers being the heaviest losers.Temptations of Evil.Leisure misused, an idle hour walt ing to be employed, idle hands with no occupation, idle and empty minds with nothing to think of\u2014these are the main temptations of evil.Fill up that empty void, employ those vacant hours, occupy those listless hands, and evil will depart because it has no place to enter in, because it is cow quered by good.\u2014Deaa Stanley, WHY DO MEN DRINK?À FEW ANSWEFS.A Cincinnati daily recently propounded the question to representative men of the city\u2014an educator, a saloon-keeper, a Y.M.C.A.man, a doctor, a minister, and a business man.At least two of the answers to the question are of special interest, one of them coming from a member of the Board of Education, and the other from a saloon-keeper.The first says: Why does a man drink?Why, he drinks and does everything else that is wrong because he is still unregenerate.Man has a certain amount of original sin in his makeup, and the tendency to drink is one of the expressions of it.I understand that Dr.Parkhurst, in New York, has said that the chief cause of drinking among working men is the monotony and deadly dulnese of their lives.All I can say in reply is that in this twentieth century that is not a good excuse.If the evils of working men are dull, it must be their own fault, because in this day and generation, there are hundreds of diversions, open to all, and If the working man wishes to take advantage of them he is free to do so.The cure for drunkenness and all other forms of sin is an educated conception of the objects of life, along broad religious lines.The saloon-keeper, who neither drinks himself nor allows his employees to drink, says: I do not know why men drink.It looks sometimes as if they did it just to be doing something.I doubt it the monotony of life is the main cause, or whether sorrow and domestic friction have much to do with drinking, because I find that men drink when they are sad and glad, and also when they are either.The ractice of drinking has a number of nteresting phases, but 1 doubt If any general rule can be laid down for it.It seems to the present writer that both these men speak the truth.Fi of all, it 1s to be said that comparatively few men acquire the habit of drinking after having reached maturity.\u2018The majority of drinkers form the habit before they know what \u2018\u2019deadly dulness\u201d 1s, If they ever know it.In our country and in our cities the young men have sufficient example and warning, and yet they go with open eyes, as though blind and deaf, into the very jaws of death and hell.The young man drinks, \u201cas he does everything else that is wrong, because he is still unregenerate.\u201d He is a lover of pleasure, rather than a lover of God.He is right who says: \u2018\u2018The cure for drunkenness and all other forms of sin is an educated conception of ligious lines.\u201d And yet the saloon- keeper is right when he says: \u2018\u2018The practice of drinking has a number of interesting phases, but I doubt if any rule can be laid down for {t.\u2014 \u201cThe Journal and Messenger.\u201d Its Cost Beyond Estimate.Expenses absolutely certain to follow the use of intoxicating drinks, but which it would be imposible to calculate, are the Loss of time of men incapacitated tor work by drink.By premature death of 100,000 every year caused by drink.By loss arising from destruction of life and property, by land and sea, caused by drink.Loss of deterioration of workmen in capacity and skill.Loss in non-productiveness of capital employed in the drink trade.The {increased load of taxation arising from the fruits of the drink.Loss of the non-productive labor of paupers, criminals and lunatics caused by drink.The First Glass, Do you remember your first glass?Your friends made you believe it would put some brightness into you \u2014some vim, manhood, strength and alertness.Where is that manhood and vim and brightness now?Destroyed by the field from hell, alcohol.I wish I could destroy the last vestige of it on earth.(Applause.) What is the good of that, if you don\u2019t take the truth to yourself?Iam not here for applause.Men, don't complain to me that If you become Christians, you have to give up this and that.You've not to give up nothing but ruin.\u2014The noted Gypsy Smith, in a pulpit address in Tremont Temple, Boston.A Traitor.The liquor traffic destroys one's \u201clove and devotion to country\u201d; it encourages men to disobey law; it incapacitates men to \u201cdefend their country\u2019s existence; prompts men to betray the \u201crights and institutions\u2019; in other words, \u201cpatriotism,\u201d as applied to the liquor traffic, is as great a misnomer as it would be to speak of the glorious patriotism of Aaron Burr or Benedict Arnold.Pythiaas Exclude Rummies.The well-known secret soclety, the Knights of Pythias, has passed an order excluding wholesale and retail lguor dealers, as well as bar keep- ors, and proprietors of hotels where bars are kept, from membership in their order.the objects of life, along broad re- 25%a bas \u201cCHAMPION\u201d The noted general purpose Stallion of the town of Stanstead, weight 1300 lbs, stands 16 hands 2 in high, color dark bay, sired by Captain Junior, he by Captain a French coach, dam a full blood morgan mare formerly owned by Mt.A.B.Corlis of Stanstead, Que.Thie stallion has good confirmation strong made flat bony legs stylish nice actor an extra good roadster there are several of his colts ih the vicinity of Stanstead that offers of $175.and $200.have been refused, be nicks nicely with the common run of mares and his colts are large and of uniform size, the kind that always sell for a good price.He is not a trotting bred Stallion but one of the kind that the farmer should use and his colts have only to be seen to be appreciated.TERMS\u2014£8.00 to warrant, all mares at owners risk and disposed before foaling to be considered in foal.Good pasturage for mares from a distance, HUGH T.ELDER, Beebe, Que.EE Fou TIME TABLE.In Effect June 20th.1910.LEAVING SHERBROOKE.Boston ExprEss\u2014Iecave Sherbrooke daily except Sunday 7.00 a.in, arrive Levis 11.18 am., arrive Quebec 11.20 a.m.Dining car Sherbrooke to Levis: Pullman sleeping ear Boston to Quebec leaving Sherbrooke daily except Sunday: on Sunday this car goes to Newport, Vt.,to Quebec on New York Ex- ross making a daily service Boston to Que- New York ExehEss\u2014Lenve Sherbrooke daily 9.25 ns.m., arrive Levis 2.20 p.m., arrive Quebec225p m Pullman Paluce Buffett cars New York to Quebec leaviug Sherbrooke dally excerpt Monday.WHITE MOUNTAINS EXPREsS\u2014Leave Sherbrooke daily except Sunday 4.00 IY m., arrive Levis 9.056 p.m,, arrive Quebec 9.10 p.m.Thriugh Pulhinan « hair car and dining car service Portland to Quelrec daily except Bun- ay.ACCOMMODATION\u2014Leave Sherbrooke 7,15 p.m., daily except Sunday arrive Valley Jet.8.05 a.mn.ARRIVING BHERBROOKE.Boston Expness\u2014lenve Quebec 4% p.m\u2026 daily except Sanday, leave Levis 5.00 p.m., Arrive Sherbrooke 8.22 p.m Pullman sleep ing Car Quebec to Boston daily except Sunday: on Sunday this car goes Quebec to New port, Vt., on New York Express making a dally service Quebec to Boston.Nkw York Ex -Rras\u2014Leave Quebec Lap m.daily, leave Levis 1.45 p._m.arrive Sher brooke 7.20 p m._ Pullman Palace Buffet cars Quebec to New York daily except Saturday.WHITE MOUNTAINS EXPRESs\u2014Leave Quebec 7,80 à.m., leave Levis 8.00 a.m., arrive Sherbrooke 1.15 p.m.Pullman Chair cars and Dining cars Quebec to Portland daily except Sunday.ACCONMODATION\u2014L eave Valley Jet, 8.00 p.m.arrive Sherbrooke 3.50 a.m.daily except Sunday.Also connecting traine on_the Megantic and Chaudiere Valley Divisions.For time tables.tickets and all information apply to any of the Company's Agents.SPH WALSR, BO GRUNDY Genersl Manager.Gen.Pass'r Agt.LIVERY SALE AND FEED STABLE If you contemplate a drive when you visit the \u201cClift,\u201d call, write or telephone me for a rig.New equipment; up-to-date hitches of all kinds; service day and night.T.C.NORTON, Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Que.

producing proof leading to the conviction of the guilty parties.Moet of the articles taken can be easily identified, and no stone will be left unturned in the effort to find the culprits.It will be to
