at the Jondro dam was preventing the flow of sewerage, particularly that from the College thus menacing the bealth of the community.Tnis morning the mayor called Mr.Raymond\u2019s attention to the condition caused by the jam.The contention of the latter was- that the sewerage and not the wood was the source of danger.\u201cStop the College, trom dumping its sewerage into the river,\u201d was the advice of the lumber man.\u201cRemove the obstruction,\u201d is the demand of others.The problem is perplexing.Sinoe streams were used to float lumber before they were made to carry oft sewerage from towns, the lumber man has rights which cannot be ignored.Under the law be claims the first right to the use of the stream even over the owners of dame.If proceed-' ings were instituted against tbe lom- ber man he might demand the renoval of the obstruction which caused the jam or at least demand a proper sluice.As a matter of fact the logs in them- solves do no serious harm.What is needed is a proper sewerage system with an outlet below the dams.Sewerage deposited in a trickling stream or dumped on an almost dry river bed may become a greater source of danger than the floating refuse which forme a sonm on the still water above the jam.Some day the Provincial Board of Health will take the corpora- by the collar unless it wakes ap.The condition grows worse as population increases and the flow of water decreases.Last year the council spent 4150 on plans and then balked at sn outlay of $12,000.The cost does seem grovisg.+ In stock: 28x3 to 84x41.Gasoline 14c.tose, Alaska

COUNCIL.A special meeting of the municipal council of the village of Rock Island was held last evening, Mayor Holmeg presiding.The resignation of Mr.E.W.Hovey from the position of superintendent of roads, etc., upon which action was deferred at the last meeting was accepted.Mayor Holmes and Councilor Bail were appointed a committee to confer with Charivs H.Howe with a view to securing his services for the vacant position.The sanitary problem was introduced by councilors who had complained of offensive odors coming from the river.It was pointed out that the pulpwood jam was preventing the flow of sewerage which added to the objectionable condition of the low waterseason.The condition was perplexing and no one could offer a solution.After discussion a by-law transferring to the international Water Company the municipality\u2019s right of expropriation was passed in accordance with the provision of the municipal code.The matter has been before the council since the spting of 1910, when the President of the Company gave notice of the application.It was brought up at the regular June meeting and again at an adjourned meeting, but as some opposition developed the matter was deferred to allow time for inuestigation and consideration.ENGINEER LEA'S OPINION.Mr.W.T.Lea of the firm of Lea & Lea, Montreal, was here last week.Mr.Les was employed by Rev.A.Lee Holmes to look over his sewer projects and it is understood that the engineer recommended some modifications which will be adopted.The line which Mr, Holmes plans putting in East of the Main street, to empty into the Jondro pond will be continued to his south line with the ultimate aim of bringing the same through to the Main street via the lockup property, but the sewérage will go into the upper pond temporarily.Inreality Mr.Lea favors a plan which would carry all sewerage below the lower dam, i.e., to a point below the Turnbull creamery, As advisory engineers to the Provincial Board of Health the Messrs.Lea are in close touch with the Quebec Government and the junior member of the firm who was here expressed the conviction that the Provincial Parliament would, in the not far distant future, prohibit the dumping of sewer- uge into streams.Last winter, as the result of serious typhoid epidemics at Ottawa and elsawhere an agitation was started in the Dominion Parliament for an act to prohibit sewerage from entering the Ottawa and St.Lawrence rivers and their tributaries.Cremation and the \u2018sewerage farm\u2019 are claiming attention now.Mr.Lea is of the opinion that any system now laid should be planued with the ultimate view to disposition of the sewerage upon the land.Although brougbt here at the ex- penee of Mr.Holmes, the visiting engineer made an examination of the Neveu retaining wail for the corporation.Under ordinary conditions the wall was too thin at both top and bottom, in the opinion of Mr.Lea, but in view of the firm condition ot the earth, held together as it is by many roots of trees, be thought it would stand.He recommended some minor precautions which were adopted by the council, in special session last night, and will be embodied in a revised contract, assented to by the contractor, George T.Terrill.This will entail some slight additional expense.- NORTH HATLEY.Mre.Chze.Sampeos of Ayec'e CE, \u2018was calling on friends heve the first of

BEES AID THE GROWER.They Will Cause the Boughs of Trees .to Break With Fruit.\u201cGive the des & chance and it will literally break the boughs of your tree with the weight of fruit.\u201d Frank G.Odell of Lincoln, Neb, bee-master, who gave a series of de monstrations with 50,000 bees at the National Apple Show in Spokane, made the foregoing observation in the course of an interview, discussing beekeeping, scientific \u2018agriculture and fruit growing.He said: \u201cThe bee is the expert assistant of the horticulturist and the farmer.So indispensable are its functions in the pollination of fruits, vegetables, cereals and grasses that its activities may be said to lie at the foundation of all successful agriculture.Nature had ordained ome supreme law, that of creation, the perpetuation of the race type.This law, universal in its application and absolutely identical in its form, obtains in the plant world as in the animal world.The luscious pulp of the fruit is the envelope, the package, the strong box, devised by nature to protect the seed within from injury and render it susceptible of germination so that the type may be reproduced in all its perfection.\u201cThe bee, like other insects, effects incidental pollination of flowers in the search for nectar; but its great value to the fruit grower lies in this, that it goes to the flowers specifically to gather pollen, literally by the carload, in thé hairy baskets on its legs, hastening from bloom to bloom, roll ing and packing and literally rioting in the golden dust, pregnant with the microscopic germs of plant life, until the golden pellets are packed away in its hair baskets, to be carried to the hive for storage as an indispensable portion of the food of its young during the winter months to come.\u201cIt requires no expert knowledge to comprehend how perfectly the bee thus performs the office of poilina- tion, Indeed, it is .nature\u2019s chief agent in this indispensable work.No seed, no fruit, is the universal law.Here is the only insect useful in all its habits, having a fixed habitation accessible to man, dependent upon the pollen of every variety of flower as an Indispensable portion of the food of its young, and going to the bloom specifically to gather that pollen, thus making possible the mar velous fruit crops in Washington and the Pacific Northwest.That is why 1 say, give the bee a chance and it will literally break the boughs of your trees with the weight of fruit\u2014 Indiana Farmer.Lack of Ventilation.As a rule, the principal cause of four tons to the acre, We could have a value of $58.80.Of course, for a dairyman to realize this much from an acre of alfalfa, he must feed judi- clously and in proper combination with other feeds; but if he realises only one-half of this amount, he is getting excellent returns from his land.Wheat bran, long the standard feed for dairy cows, contains only 12.3 pounds of digestible protein in every 100 pounds.Remedy For Moths.A very good remedy would be to transfer colonies affetted to new hives using full sheets of foundation, and be sure they have a Profit in Hives.| The box hive bee-kespers sell thelr hdney at eight cents per pound, while on the other hand the improved frame hive beekeeper sells all of his honey for twenty and twenty-five cents per pound and in large demand at that.Bees were swearers long before men were, for the busting sound they make wher swarming is what gave rise to the world as we use it to-day, and we say they swarm on account of that noise.: ~ In

AND ACOUSTICS.Quality of Soand Depends Upon Character of Walls.In a paper upon this subject Nuss- baym, the noted German calis attention to the fact the: in cases where good acoustics are required immediately on comfletion of the room the choice of the ceiling and wall plaster is of some importance, especially where a soft timbre (tone color) is red.Thus, in concert halls, for instance, mixtures of lime and sand or cement, lime and sand are out of place as a plastering, only a mortar of plaster of Paris promising the desired effect.Sand should not be added to the upper layers of this mortar, and &, careful smoothing of the surface should not be neglected, so as to avoid all roughness and irregularities, Plaster of Paris prepared entirely without sand has a favorable act- fon; it is best made of gypsum burnt to white heat.The strongly elastic, delicate surface of this plastering is particularly advantageous for the reflection of the sound waves and for obtaining a soft timbre.With regard to the transmission of Heat and sound such plaster is also of advantage, but the period of drying for it and the masonry under neath must be taken as higher than for plaster of mixtures of lime and sand or lime cement and sand.Ths latter disadvantage, however, is offset by the fact that paint or coverings of veneer fabrics, wall paper, ete, can be applied immediately after the drying, while the alkalies of the lime, and especially those of the cements, may cause Injury to such, often very valuable furpgish- ings as soon as the plaster becomes damp.The latter circumstance may be brought about by the formation of sweat even where all other causes | of dampness are kept off by proper arrangements, while the conversion of the alkalies into carbonates In the interior of rooms takes place exceedingly slowly, because a certain percentage of water, not inconsiderable for cements, is required in the mortar for the process.OPPOSITION TO TROUSERS.- Wearers, Many People Believed, Could Not Be Religious.The modern custom of wearing trousers was taken from the military dress introduced into the army by the Duke of Wellington during the Penninsular war, says Chambers Journal.In early days these were known as \u201cWellington trousers,\u201d after the Duke.When they were coming im- to general use at the commencement of the nineteenth century the reli.glous world and the fashionable were most determined in their opposition A clause in the original trust deal, dated 1830, of à Sheffield Nonconfor- most chapel provided that \u2018\u2018under no circumstances whatever shall any preacher be allowed to occupy the pulpit who wears trousers.\u201d But this was not all.Some doubts.concerning the question whether a man could be religious and appear in trousers.One of the founders of the Primitive Methodist body re marked to a colleague in the ministry \u201cthat trousers wearing, beer drinking, so-and-so will never get to heaven.\u201d Father Resce, a famous Methodist minister, twice president of the conference (dorm in 1765, died in 18- 60), coulé not be induced to adopt trousers, and among the Methodists was the last to follow popular fashion in this respect.India's Letter Boxes.Out of India\u2019s 300,000,000 fully three-fourths dwell in small villages and devote themselves to agricul ture.It is.estimated that 70,000,- 000 of them spend their lives on the borderline of starvation and are credulous enough to attribute all things to the agency of spirits, both good and evil.Thus they venerate the cobra in the image of Manesa, Queen of Enakes; and there is even a Goddess of Cholera worshipped under the name of Ola Bibi.These humble folk lean heavily on the British raj, and accept all his marvels with a placid grace.I bad a comic instance of this once at Mu- hammadabad post office, in the As- amgarh district.Sitting one afternoon under a banyan-tree near the post office talking to some officials, I noticed an anxious-eyed villager approaching with a letter in his hand.Not twenty yards from us was a big square scariet-painted letterbox, with a projecting mouthpiece, waiting to be built up in the wall.The man approached and asked where he was to place his letter.The box was pointed out to him, and then we beheld a quaint ceremony.Walking slowly up to the letter-box, the native paused a little way of and took off his shoes.Then he folded his hands reverently and dropped the letter \u201cinto the scarlet mouth, bowing low into the dust as he did so.He next placed two coppers on the ground and began to retreat backwards salaaming frequently.Finally he put on his shoes once more and walked away with an air ot conscious rectitude.In another case I saw two men approach the letter-box.One dropped a letter in, and then put his lps mysteriously close up to the mouth.\u201cMy message is to go Rewak, O Poost-Box Sahib,\u201d he called loudly as if some one were sitting Inside to hear and carry out

they sold readily.Lobos Island fur seal skins, 1,997, the first offered in a little over two years, brought high prices.About 10,000 sables skins are marketed each winter in Nicolascsk, Siberia, at $10 to $50 each.The num ber, however, is decreasing, but it is dificult to say whether from the animals being exterminated or from the failure of the hunters to slay them.The hunting of sables is en tirely by natives.During a good season about 1,000 red fox skins at an average of $4 to 35 ench are sold in the same city of Siberia.The black fox is scarce, about ten skins being obtained ane nually, bringing $100 to $250 each, Bear skins are plentiful, but owing to the religion of the natives the heads and claws are always removed and consequently the hides are of little valye, selling for $7.50

crowded to hear our local stars in \u201cDown in Maine.\u201d All the seats were sold, 461 in number, and 50 were sold after the \u2018standing room only\u201d sign was put op, The gross re- celps were about 212.00.The beautiful weather made it possible to sell so large a house, although the oast of the company was the attraction, and an on- propitious day and evening would not have decreased the number very much.A good number of Newport and other out of town people were present, Lake Park and Cedarville were well represented.\u2019 Mr.W.H.Hovey got together à moat excellent, all at home orchestra.It was made up as follows: W.H.Hovey, violin; Mrs.W.H.Hovey, Piano; Frederjok Renaud, Clarinet; Ralph Hethereli, Flute; Frederick Eilis, Cornet; Thomas Ritchie, Slide Trombone; the orchestra part of the program was worth tbe price af the seats; it showed that we do not need to go out of town for an orchestra for any oocssion.| .The curtain went up at 8.15, revealing the sitting room of \u201c\u2018Hardsorabble\u201d farm.Betsey \u2018Tomps (Edith Mo- Bride) was engaged in the somewhat common task of paring potatoes, while her sleepy father, (Rev Cole) was stretched out upon the lounge, taking a nap, that was often punctured bya suore of somewhat large calibre.The first impressions of the play were such as to touch the funny bone of the aud- lence: the make up of Betsey and her dad was a very broad hint that skilifal hands bad executed the work.Bet- sey\u2019s hair was braided and knotted to the greatest possible tension, and the.haysced was visible In Tompe\u2019 fringe of hair that encircled his head above the ears.\u201cBingle\u201d (Will Smith) the lazy fisherman was a good adaptation.\u201cZeph Cummings\u201d (BE.H.Cosby) a typical \u201cdown east\u201d farmer reminded us of our old friend, David Harum.Zeph, although somewhat removed from grammatical acouracy, was loaded with hard common sense, and throughout the evening was the sage of every situation, highly flavoring his philosophy with a quaint humor.Zeph's brother Ralph (W.F.Pike) the son who had taken to the city and ite classy apparel, and his daughter, \u2018\u2018Susie\u201d (Nettie Williams) were finely interpreted.\u2018\u2018Susie\u201d surprised all by her singing of the solo in the swinging song.It was one of the fine things of the evening, and the audience showed its appreciation.Roy Telford as Nell Wentworth, an inventor, and Percy Salls as Holden the lawyer, were the parts.The courtship of Keziah by the twain *\u201cTomps\u201d and \u201cBiugle,\u201d was fnll of spirit, and often quite militant, bat \u201cTomps\u201d prevailed, owing to having been over the route before.It was brilliant acting at many points.One of the difficult impersonations was \u201cJimpsey\u201d (Geo.Emerson) a mischief making kid, was well done.Millicent Laythe made much of the charactor, Mrs Cummings, Zeph\u2019s wife, Her makeup was ideal and she was the part.Stuttering Moses (Roy Cosby) showed him a chip of the old block.When coached to try the whistling cure for stuttering, he was \u2018\u2018noxt\u2019\u2019 from the start, and the love making between Betsey and Mose was the star fanny place of the evening, and it was splendid amateur acting.Mrs.Bin- sonnet ae \u201cKeziah,\u201d 43 and desperate, was the same careful actress, doing excellent work all the evening.Mr.Cosby revealed his ability asa coach and selector of citizens for the several parts of this very pleasing and enjoyable comedy.The chorus work and the solo by Mre.H.T.Ball were Bood features, completing a rare program.But for the fact that it requires so much time and hard work to gain such results, we wouid feel warranted in begging for a more frequent repetition of such entertainments.Any expenditure which you make for \u2018\u2018advertising,\u201d except that which you make for newspaper advertising, will make your competitors happy.ROR Ena Pu OER ty + © = hl orm

says: On November 8, 1003, ' Theodore Roosevelt arrabged that there should be a revolution on the Isthmus of Panama.A sister republic, Columbia, owned one of the two best routes for an interoceanic waual; the United States wanted it, bat Columbia could not accept the terms as offered\u2014 hence the revolution.The President .| bad dispatched American warships to the Isthmus to prevent Columbia from quelling a possible revolution, and was waiting impatiently in Washiog- ton for some word that his plans bad been carried into effect.Not hearing \u2018from Panama during the day he caused the Firet Assistant Sacretary of State to cable to the Consul-General at Panama: \u201cUprising on Isthmus ru- .mored.Keep Department sdvised.\u201d Asa matter of fact, the average cit- isen of Panama could not have been more at peace with the world.The fact that a revolution was imminent was only known to the United States State Department in Washington, to its representatives in Panama, and to a number of financiers who bad a canal concession to sell.The American Consul replied to Washington: \u201cNo uprising yet, but report there will be tonight.\u201d And it actually did occur that night, just as President Roosevelt had planned, and American marines saw to it that there was no bloodshed, This episode Theodore Roosevelt unhesitatingly declares to be the greateat thing he ever did.In putting through the Panama Canal, President Roosevelt resorted to some rough-and-ready diplomacy.A treaty for the canal must be eon- summated before the Panama Commission could come to disturb the programme.But whom could our State Department treat with?We had rec- oguized Panama, bat the President had not as yet recelved a representative from the new government.It became necessary to acquire one.President Roosevelt and Mr.Cromwell and the State Department put their heads together and wondered whom they could get near at home who would look Rke an Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from Panama.The result was that they decided to confeygthe honor upon P.Banau-Varilla\u2014he had made a fortune out of the canal, and in a way be was related to Panama.But what sort of credentials could he present?Nothing easier.The Provisional Government of Panama was cabled to wire back credentials, and they were found to be perfectly satisfactory to President Roosevelt.It was the first time in history that such credentials had ever been heard of, but, after all, why should there be any undue formality between two sister republics?All the time the Panama Commission was nearing Washington.They were due to arrive at the Capital at eight.Before that hour, however, President Roosevelt had pressed buttons, summoned the parties in interest, and before the Panama Commis- elon arrived in Washington, Bonau- Varilla and our State Department bad concocted a treaty which bound ourselves and the Republic of Panama for all time.The treaty, which bound a Spanish-speaking nation, was written in English, there being no time to have it translated into Spanish, and it was signed by a Frenchman and an American.¢ MARIA MANSUR BARTLETT.The \u201cEnterprise\u201d of Charlestown, Mass., Jane 10th, contains the following reference to the late Mrs.Nelson Bartlett, whose death was briefly noted in the JOURNAL last week, Maria Mansur Bartlett, widow of Nelson Bartlett, passed away on Monday after an illness of twenty-one months.She leaves one sister, Mra.8.J.Bartleit of Stanstead, Quebec, who is the last of seven children: A son, Frank J.Bartlett of the Boston Ice Company, and five grandohildren, also survive.Mrs.Bartlett was & pa- tive of Stanstead, born June 28, 1828.For sizty years she bad been a resident of Charlestown, living fifty-three years on Monument Avenue, forty of which was in the house where she passed away.She survived her\u2019 husband, one of the most prominent of Charlestown\u2019s citizens and of Boston business men, nesrly four years, Mr.Bartlett passing away in November, 1807.Throughout her long and use- fat lite, Mrs.Bartlett had been a liberal contributor to charity, and her benefaotions among the poor of Charlestown were especially noteworthy and showing her great kindness and love for the needy and deserving.She was for many yoars a member of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Universalist Chatch and of the board of manage: ment of the Winchester Home and Hunt Asylem.The funeral took place Thureday afternoon, with services sb her late residence, 64 Monument Ave- ane, THE THING WORTH WHILE.Men are looking constantly for as opportunity to do some one thing that will be long remembered to thelr credit, and many are successfvi.The difference in the kinds of service rendered are as varied as the traite of different wen.One endows a'school, snother a hospital; an Edison makes the publicity of his service almost in- finate in ite enduring qualities, because of the great usefulness and lasting benefit to his time and all future years.In the reaim of agriculture there has been many things done of great use, but they are ao little talked about and are accepted so much as a matter of course that due credit is forgotten, while they may be of more practical importance to mankind than many things that find column after column in tbe press.- Recently some townsmen oen- and purer breed of working horses, aud this quest resulted in the purchase of the Percheron Stallion Ivan (83,109) and the motive behind this purchase was to benefit the farmers of Orleans and Stansthad Counties.The géntle- men behind this venture are practical Watson, Lucien P.Jenne, Stoddard B.Bates, Benj.F.Butterfield, Ppillip L.Keach, William Nelson, Roy Hall, De- los R.Marvin, Rufus Kelley, Wesley Kelley, Frederick A.Taylor, Fred Moulton, Philo Walker.These men carry weight and their endorsement of this horse should canee any {farmer desiring to raise the standard of his dratt horses, to use this horse.We have seen Ivan, and he is an honest three year old and has the lines of pure French breeding and we expect wonderful results Irom bim.Farmers see this horse before you make your choice.THREE

M from white kerseymere silk, richly embroidered, set off with buttons and buckles of gilt, and white silk stock ings, sword, cocked hat and white kid gloves make a complete costumes, as rich as it is dignified.° velvet collar, with a gold embroidered floral design.The uniform costs the wearer about £116.Lord lieutenants are dressed in a coat of royal red cloth, cut swallow.tall and adorned with silver buttons, and the collar embroidered with sil ver lace.Silver laced trousers are worn, with a cocked hat without plumes.The uniform is very band- some, and costs the wearer 100 guineas simply for the privilege to wear it, let alone the making of it.To the Duke of Norfolk, as the earl marshal, however, falls the enviable distinction of wearing the most cost ly apparel of all great officers of \u2018state.The dress is absolutely unique, and for sheer magnificence has no parallel in any country.Nearly three miles of the finest gold thread are used in the embroidery om the coat, collar, front and on the lappets of the sleeves.Each suit costs his grace £1350, All Cabinet ministers and other high state officials are expected to have at least one state unifrom.A complete court outfit will cost from £130 to £170.There are, of course, many others such as the captain of the Yeomen of the Guard, the captain of the Gen tlemen At Arme, the Master of the Horse and the squires and pages of honor, who have to possess a distino- tive dress for special occasions cost ing from £20 to £50.Court dandies will only wear these uniforms once, while noblemen some times make the same uniform last a lifetime.It has been computed that on great state ce casions the value of the uniforms worn exceeds £30,000.Demand for Hair Roue.\u201cThere is one thing which ve ex port from this country that few peo ple, in fact, no no outside those in the trade, ever know anything about,\u201d said 8.C.Brown to a Milwaukee Sentinel reporter.\u201cThat is hair ropes.They are shipped mainly to Indias, though they go to any places where poisonous snakes are plentiful.Every cowboy and plainsman learned years ago that if he did not wish to wake up in the morning and find a rattler for a bed-mate when he had to sleep out on the prairie, he had to be careful before he laid down to see that his 'horse-hair lariat was coiled carefully about him so that there was no open ing through which a spake might crawl, \u201cNo snake will tackle a hair rope.It is the only sure protection against them.Somehow this idea has permeated the minds of the East Indians and now they buy these ropes for protection against the poisonous snakes with which that country abounds.Large numbers otf these ropes are shipped to India sand adjoining coum tries each year.\u201cOver there they are coiled on the - floor around the bed at night and the occupant can lie down in comfort, cer tain that no snxke will ever attempt to pass over that hair rope.It is about the only way any one can be sure of a night's sleep undisturbed by visits from snakes in that country.\u201d Game Abounds in Louisiana.Louisiana is blessed with an abuna- ance of game, and just how great that abundance is never was realized until the State Game Commission began to receive detailed reports from its parish wardens, telling how much of various kinds has been killed this season.Reports from wardens of three parishes are especially interesting.Allen Mouch, warden for West Baton Rouge parish, estimates the number of quail killed from September to April at 4, 500; the doves killed at 7,000, the ducks at 700, 100 deer, 12,000 squirrels, 1,000 rabbits, 1,000 coons, 500 minks and 4000 snipe.J.G.Durand, warden for St.Martin parish, says in his district 19,000 squirrels were killed; 10,000 quail, 7, 000 doves, 1,800 snipe, 4,500 ducks and 3,400 rabbits.Charles Alonzo, warden in As sumption parish, says 25,591 coons have been killed; 18,600 minks, 6,254 rabbits, 19,347 squirrels, 10,000 doves, 8,488 qual, 18,350 oule d'eau and 5,613 ducks.Nature and Humanity.1 hope the day will come when it shall be considered as commendable to dissect a lake or brook as a latuirus or bdrokinoptus.To climb a mounm- tain and gain a

Feopesty er Value.A great deal has been said and written about the use of both ja support of and against, bet the point always raised is merely whether or not it 1s good taste.A question seldom touched upon is the fast that perfumes have a certain medicinal property or value.says Harpers Magazine.The ancients recognised this med feinal quality, and one qf the Latin writers bas put more than a hundred different scents on record as remedies for various diseases.Among these the violet is given a pince higher than any other flower.To possess this medicinal value it is, of course, essential that the essence should be pure and made from the flower.A large percentage of the violet water on the market is only à chemical imitation, and most chem- ical-compound perfumes are irritate ing to the nerves if not positively harmful.The idea which our grandmothers had of scenting the sheets with lavender was merely carrying out the old idea that lavender soothes the nerves and is a great slesp-promoter, Some refreshing perfumes are stimulating, but lavemder combines refreshment and relaxation.Another perfume which has a dis- ,- a tinct medicinal value is jasmine.| Old writers suggest it as a general tonic, but add the warning that, though most beneficial when taken alone, it is in most compounds in- Jurious, producing nerve exhaustion and profound depression.Chemists ind many interesting experiments in the compounding of scents.Almost all perfumes have as a basis ambergris or civet, and while these ingredients are most essential great care must be observed in their use, as a grain too much will make the scent distressingly irritating to the wearer, to say nothing of innocent bystanders.There aro many persons who cannot stand the scent of some pa: cular flower which to peple in gen- oral is most agreeable.The most striking {illustration of the effect of a scent is seen in the case of a person suffering from hay fever or rose fever.Another little known characteristic of scents is the quickness with which they will awaken a soundly sleeping person, even when repeated calling or even shaking has failed to do so.As a rule, a person who is awakened by an agreeable scent, 8 delicate perfume will rise in a cheerful mood.THE TASMANIAN ABORIGINE.Last of the Race\u2014Discovery That Was Made Too Late.The visitor to Tasmania can have an experience that is novel\u2014he can call on the last of the native race of the land.She is Trucaninni, and she holds receptions in a glass case in the National Museum.There is only the skeleton left, but judging from that she was a well organized little body of about 4 feet.The Tasmanian aborigine was a clean sort of person, moving every day, so as not to have the dirt or ashes of yesterday in his camp.The mode was uncut hair for men, shaven heads for women.Both wore at times a necklace and also on occas- sfons tied a strip of fur around the calves of their legs.They seemed to got along very well with this even though the winters were cold.Then came the white man with his gun and his modesty.Between the gun and the blank blanket and some other clothes and the permanent shelter, there was only one left in the seventies, and she\u2014Trucan- inni\u2014died at about the age of 70 years, in 1876, and her bones, well articulated and polished, stand In state to-day.+ When this face had disappeared the \u2018\u2019pale-ozoic fellows\u201d discovered that these Tasmanian aborigines were probably the world\u2019s only specimens of the people of the stone age.But the discovery came too late.The folk who had mixed up with them were not of the calibre to give the world a very good, to say nothing of reliable, record of the inner char acteristics of this extra primitive people, or thelr traditional account of how black as the ace of spades, they got marooned on this isolated island.Their principal record left is that they did not worry\u2014a fact from which it may be reasoned that bald heads and gray hairs were probably not known in the days when slabs of granite were legal tender.Poverty of Genius, Like many other musical geniuses, Signor Puccini, perhaps the foremost composer of the day, knew days nt adversity.In fact, when he was wric- ing his first opera, \u2018Le Vill,\u201d he was 80 poor that he was obliged to live for four months on credit at a tiny restaurant in a Milan slum.Ultimately the Itallan Government allowed Puccini a charity pension of a few francs a week.With two or three other enthusiastic music lovers he lived in humble lodgings, but they were so poverty-stricken that they were often obliged to pawn thelr overcoats and boots In order to get a little ready money for everyday necessities.Playing the piano at cafe concerts, teaching at a franc a lesson and copying manuscripts, such was the drudgery which \u2018Pyo- olal went through before his earned fame and fortane with his famous oparas : - AR aetna TEACH SICK FOLKS T9 JUGOLE (Ales Bonsfisial to the Breln Werke of Sedontary Ways.Speaking of comjuring, the allied art of juggling is ope of the most amusing and valuable of diversions, especially to the ssdentary.Many \u2018physicians become expert in jugsiing, but it is to thelr patients that it is most useful.| \u2018The bedridden, if they retain the use of their may boguile many a weary hour in learning to keep \u2018three or four tennis balls in the alr at once and in balancing sticks and \u2018other aimple objects on the forciinger or on the chin.For the brainworker who does not care for walking there is no better recreation.It has often occurred to us that in cases where there is any reason to fear some form of paralysis the educating of disused cerebral carebellar and spinal centres by the rapid and complex movements required in juggling might serve to act as an efficient preventive.\u201cWe do not wish to claim too much tor manual education of this kind, but \u2018we may point out that it tends to \u2018perfect nervous poise and that no juggling trick can be properly done it the performer indulges in dis sipution even so mild as beer and cigarettes.\u2014American Medicine.Expanding Bullets Used.1 One of the worst features of the arms traffic on the Arablan sen coast of Baluchistan and in the Persian gulf is that the ammunition from Europe consists of expanding bullets, The British government hag forbidden the use of dum-dums, but no prohibition exists in the tribal country.British troops will thus be handicapped.in future frontier operations.Tens of thousands of magazine rifles have reached Afghanistan and the tribal hinterland, but the danger will be aggravated if dum-dums become common.Traders undertake to give at least one hundred cartridges with each rifle.Lattice Screens for Inns.Many quaint old inns are to be seen in King\u2019s Lynn and the sign of the Lattice Inn is one of the oldest in existence.In the olden times the windows of inns were kept open, and in order to hide the revellers within a lattice screen, painted red, was placed in the window.There is an old saying: \u201cAs well known by my wit as an alehouse by a red lattice.\u201d The lattices continued up to the beginning of the eighteenth century and when they disappeared from the windows they were adopted as signs.The latter are very scarce and it is questionable whether half a dozen could be found in this country.\u2014Cycl ing.Alrship\u2019s Lifting Capacity.An airship was made for the British navy which had a lifting capacity of twenty toms.In many respects this fs the largest ever constructed and is the first built for the English gow ernment.The usual load which this machine will be called upon to carry will never be more than five tons, the remainder being à margin of safety.It will be five hundred feet in length, and will have two motors of a total of 40 horse-power, capable of driving the machine at a rate of forty-five miles an hour in still air.The Black Canary.A black canary comes of & cross between the wild British goldfinch and a cage canary.As black as coal, this crystal palace songster shows no trace whatever in feathers of the colorings of either of its parents.not so rare, still this is the first time that a bird with canary blood in its veins has ever been produced jet black.Snow white canaries, as \u201csports,\u201d come once in a while, and white black-birds and white jackdaws are occaslonal.\u2014New York Press.Kentucky Game Preserve.Thirty-five deer purchased by W.B.Whitley were placed on a large tract of land, located about ten miles east of Owensboro, which Mr.Whitley will make one of the largest and most aboundantly stocked game preserves in this section of the country.This purchase of deer is the first that has been made, but many more deer are to be put on the land, and the owner states that he will not permit any hunting on the land for some time.\u2014 Louisville Courier-Journal.Killed a White Partridge.A white partridge ir the curiosity that J.Willlam Rabbitt, a well known sportsman of this vicinity, was exhibiting in Rockville.He killed the bird on his farm, near Rockville.He says another of the

the gold was foreign.Most of the other gold coins were @ Drivate coins.Mofit & Co.got a permit from the government to coin to ten and twenty cent pieces and were stamped \u201cMoflit & Co.\u201d.We had all kinds of doubloons and smaller South and Central Am- rican coins.Of the smaller gold coing the French twenty franc plece led all the others.The English guinea was fairly rep- |\u201d resented, while the other gold passed for more The twenty franc Plece, value $3.75, went at $4.There was a still greater discrepancy in the silver coins.A one frame plece went for twenty-five cents, and the East India rupee, value forty- five cents, went for fifty cents; the five franc plece, $1.The French \u2018ail- ver represented about sixty per cent -0f the ailver circulation.German silver thalers, worth six iy cents went at $1.Everything above fifty cents was $1, and everything above twenty-five cents was fifty cents.A French bank in San Francisco was sald to have got rich shipping French coin in.exchange for gold dust.United States coin was scarcer until the mint was established.In the fall of 1856 the banks refused to take any foreign coins except at a heavy discount.The result was that in a few months all foreign coin disappeared.It proved & bonanza for the saloon people.They would still give a drink for a frane, while the banks gave only twelve and one-half cents.The saloon people gathered them and the rupees in at old Prices and sold \u2018to the banks for bullion and made a good thing.But for a few years we suffered badly for silver change.Even until 1856 gold dust circulated to a considerable extent in mining districts \u2014but the scales were always used, There was no paper money until D.O.Mills & Co.issued their gold \u2018notes about 1858.In getting change for an old octagon $50 gold note often as many as four or five nationalities would be represented in the change.On all drafts sent East $3 was charged by the express companies until Adams & Co.and Page, Bacon & Co.failed and left the field to Wells-Fargo; then it was raised to $6.Greenbacks were never recognised as money, only as a commodity.They were used for buying postage and revenue stamps.All mercantile billheads and notés had the special contract enforcement for gold.Call- fornia even pald the claims of the federal government in gold.And it came in mighty handy to Uncle Sam in 1862 and 1863.The old style Californian atill hag an inclination for the yellow stuff.\u2014P.E.Magazine, ELLEN TERRY'S STAGE FRIGHT.Even Now, When She Plays New Parts, Her Nerves Dance Jigs According to Ellen Terry stage fright is like nothing else in the world.; \u201cYou are standing en the atage apparently quite well and in your right mind,\u201d she says in McClure's Magazine, \u201cwhen suddenly you feel as if your tongue had been dislocated and was lying powerless in your month.\u201cCold shivers begin to creep downward from the nape of your neck and all up you at the same time, until they seem to meet in the small of your back.\u201cAbout this time you feel as if a centipede, all of whose feet have been carefully iced, has begun to run about in the roots ot your hair.The next agreeable sensation is the breaking out of a cold sweat ail over.\u201cThen yon are certain that some one has cut the muscles at the back of your knees.Your mouth begins to open slowly, without giving utterance to a single sound, and your eyes seem Inclined to jump out of your head over the footlights.At this point it is fell to get off the stage as quickly as you can ,for you are far beyond human help.\u201cWhether everybody suffers in this way or not I cannot say, but it exactly describes the torture I went through in \u201cThe Governor's Wife.1 had just enough strength and sense to drag myself off the stage and seize hold of a book, with which, after a few minutes, I reappeared and 1gnominously read my part Whether Mme.de Rhona boxed my ears or not I can\u2019t remember, but I think it is very likely she did for she was very quick tempered.\u201cIn late years I have not suffered from the fearsome malady, but even now, after fifty years of stage lite, I never play a new part without being overcome by a terrible nervousness and a torturing dread of forgetting my lines.Every nerve in my body seems to be dancing an independent jig on its own account.\u201d After Thirty Years a Failure.After having worn
