Mr Burns, the efficient mechanic, who has been placing the steam r heating apparatus in the Hospital, has nearly completed hi3 labours, and expects to turn steam through the pipes on Friday. The plant is" of the most modern type, the boiler being a Gurney u Bright Idea," of 1000 feet capacity- It is fitted with every improvement, the means provided for cleaning fire box, v\a>er tubing, and for automatic regulation of draught, being simplicity itself, together with effectiveness. A 3-lnch main carries the steam to the old building, where- large radiators are judiciously placed to ensure uniform heating. Separate mains, 2^ inches, lead to the new ward and .operating-rooms respectively, the waid being provided with three huge radiators, sufficient to. heat the room tu far above ordinary requirements. All mains are covered with thick ���������asb.-.-s- tos- covering, as will the boiler be when in running order. Mr Cook-; .son has certain iy . put first-class 'material in his contract, and Mr Burns has done his part by. installing the plant in workmanlike maniVer, for the most part in Icon- fined knd awkward spaces. Tbe mains lor the separate buildings mav be t^ed singl^ogail at onetime as desired..

Only Accurate Way Ia Said to Be *hy Girth. Measurement. "The only accurate way to estimate a tree's age is by the measurement of Its girth," said a botanist. v "The counting of the rings of otogenous trees can only be applied to 'such as are cut down in their prime, for these trees, when they begin to die, cease to add their yearly rings. Girth measurement is the only safe guide to the age ,of trees. < , ' "Hence all over the world botanists have now for some years been measuring trees' of known and unknown age, compiling thus a volume of statistics that will become more and more valuable'as it increases in size. ' "The yew is the longest lived of trees. Three feet a century, our statistics show, la its normal growth. According to this rule; the Fortingal yew of Scotland, which was fifty-six feet in girth ^in 1769, must have lived over 1,800 years. The Tisbury yew, in Dorsetshire, is thirty-seven feet in girth and should be, therefore, 1,200 years old. - _; ���������>������������������,,< ."��������� .'. \ "There is a table of the age of oaks that differs from this. It is not a very satisfactory table, but it was compiled from trees of-known age, and _aere- fore it is statistically very valuable. According to it', a'40-year-old oak had a circumference ofs 8 feet;'-83 years, 12 feet; 100" years, 18 feet; 200 years.' 20 feet; 250 years, 27 feet; 300 years, 33 feet."

A1' little while ago while turning over * some mementos of many years spent In the'Pacific islands I came across a Hi , 6mall circle of -fine cane about two " inches in diameter. From the side toward the center a delicate network of the'fibers of some plant-was construct- , ed, leaving a small,hole 'in' the center * large enough for, ,say, a bee to crawl .through. The article weighed less '' than a quarter of an ounce; yet, small and harmless as it appeared, it is not bo ,veryj many years ago that, it and others like (it were objects of deadly. 'terror to the natives of many of the' 'Pacific islands, particularly those,of Manahiki (Humphrey island), for the simple looking thing was a "soul catch-. ' er"���������that is, a destroyer of human life. ' Manahiki 'is .one, of . a group of, low, .lying atoll islands to the north-northwest of Samoa, and its people,, today,, are about the; besL educated 'of all the Malayo-Polynesian people. They elect a i king and-parliament, have one of the most beautifully*-adorned, churches in ,p the'Pacific, islands, and nearly all the ^ younger* members of the' community 'can, now. not only speak but read and , write English:" The island is���������for an ,atolI���������unusually fertile* and the people a fine,'"stalwart, handsome copper'colored race., The main industries are the making of "copra" (dried.cocoanut) and diving' for ..pearl shell. , . ., <, < ��������� "Soul catching"-'.in the heathen days, . prior"to "1863, 'could be and was-prac- , . ticedi by any one' who 'desired revenge *or the life ���������of >an enemy!- Indeed, al- ' though ' the people , were nominally Christians;, ip 18731 _ it was still in vogue, v .The modus operandi is very simple.' Say that two .men, Rika and Tetoro, quarrel: Rika) accuses Tetoro of'going" out into the lagoon "at. nighttime, lifting his (Rika's) flsb traps and abstracting the." contents. He'therefore -'demands compensation. Tetoro denies the theft. The relatives of both men take sides, and the quarrel assumes,all the.elements'of a feud'with bloodshed. - It��������� may. bej that Tetoro is a man J of , means" or chiefly rank and .influence" and treats his accuser with scorn./'' .' "Very well," the 'injured'Rika cries. ."If I cannot, get'justice from you'I' shall snare your'soul, and you will die > of a wasting sickness." " J ^Tetoro, even if he is innocent, begins to feel uneasy .at this threat and, while vigorously -'denying the theft, offersr Rika a present of a pig to end the matter. Rika's relatives at once clamor not only, for their, original demands, but for the"pig as well. Possibly a free ' fight ensues, and Rika's people get badly used, and threats of "soul snar-' ing" are heard on all sides. Then Rika's wife makes the snare for Tetoro's soul. /Taking her mat out into the village square or upon a well frequented road or path, she, suspends the snare from, the branches of trees or sticks placed in the ground in such a position that she can closely watch the orifice in th* center of the square. Rika's friends, male and female, come with her. They bring food and eat it and throw fragments under the snare to attract the flies,' with which the is- . land Is infested. If but one fly crawls through the hole Tetoro is a dead man, unless he suddenly gives in and allows himself to be bled, for not only do Rika's people watch the snare, but his own as well. No one of them would dare to attempt to destroy the snare. The death of the lnterferer by occult power would certainly follow. And so for hours and hours���������some- .times- for days���������many pairs of eyes watch the little circle of cane, and Tetoro and his friends are now ready to yield, but feel that still more extortionate demands may be made. Then at last a tly is seen to crawl through, and a shout goes through the village. "Ua hopo te lago! Ua hopo te lago!" ("A fly has passed through.") Tetoro hoars the cries and immediately imagines he feels ill. His wife and relatives crowd about him and try to cheer him up. butdiis face assumes a melancholy look, ahd aSsthc time passes on he re- . fuse?:,his food. Perhaps hr may confess'that ho .'.did "steal,-It ilea's fish and trep.iblingly Offer to make full restitution if Rika-will catch.a fly'and make it .go/.through, .the circle from the reverse side through which the first one entered voluntarily. Usually, this is done, and w-liat. might have become a lasting family feud had Tetoro died of "funk," through being bewitched, ends up by the payment of so .much' property to Rika, and a feast for which both parties provide the-viands.���������Pall Mall Gazette.

There was a method of blanching it by "earthing up," as is now used for sea kale.

" Among the unpaid gardeners who keep certain parts of our landscape trim must be reckoned the humble rabbit. "Rabbit turf" on the juniper studded slopes of the Surrey hills, or the verges of the Devonshire cliffs, is almost the finest sward existing. The constant nibbling of the rabbits, which work steadily outward from their burrows, cropping the grass again and again closer than does1 a mowing machine, dwarfs not only the grass, but all other plants and herbs. They also nibble the furze bushes and bunches of heather into cushions and blunt cones and, give to the ground which they frequent the appearance of being covered with artificially rounded and trimmed shrubs and bushes so characteristic of the sides of downs, an effect which the numbers of ant hills aid in producing. On some parts of the coast,/especially In the sand hills which protect low lands from the sea. rabbits occasionally threaten to produce very much more serious changes in tho landscape than this. They burrow into the sand hills and weaken them until they are no longer the firm barrier that they were.

There was a breakdown on the railway and the prospect Lof a lecture engagement being missed and $1,000 lost. What he did was to telegraph a long and merry message to the audience about the breakdown, saying he and Ian Maclaren would be arriving not more than half an hour late.* Singing was provided to entertain the audience. When the half hour was up in came another telegram more cheerful than ever, .saying that thoyywero ;' coining along and that Ian Maclaren was determined to. lecture to that, audience if all the railways in the, world had" broken down. The.Americans arc an emotional people, and they were interested. Every twenty minutes iu came a fresh telegram -with something funny and bright about it and always declaring that the great novelist was advancing. It was half past 10 when the couple reached the platform, and the welcome given ' them was hilarious.. -, . A. StriJcSnsr Defect. Eazle���������Your manager pronounces It a very striking likeness.

Couktnby, Traffio Manager, < M��������� THE ��������� EPISODE IN ROOM 222 By ARNOLD BENNETT Copyright, 1903, by T. C McClure ' The" date was thc 5th of November. . It was a Friday, and yet there are people who affect to believe that Friday is not a day singled out from its six companions for mystery, - strangeness and disaster. The number of the room was 222. Thc hotel I shall call by the name , 'of the Grand Junction Terminus hotel. The Grand Junction is full every night in the week except Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Every commercial traveler knows that, except on these, ��������� nights,, if he wishes to secure a room he must write or telegraph for it in ad- ' .,vance. , And there are 400 bedrooms. ' It was somewhat late in the evening when I arrived in L . On the spur of the, moment I decided to stay atr the Grand Junction if there was space for " me. It is thus that fate works. I walked into the hall, followed by a- platform porter' with my bag. The place seemed just as usual, the perfection of the commonplace, the business-like and the unspiritual. "Have you a room?" I asked the young lady in,black whose yellow hair 6hone gayly at the oflicowindow under the electric,light' She glanced at the ledgers in the impassive and detached manner which hotel syqung ladies with yellow hair inva- ������ 'riably affect and ejaculated: , "No. 221." ' ' . ''Pity' you couldn't make it all twos," , I ventured, with timid jocularity. How could I guess the import of what I was 1 saying? ��������� ' . ' She smiled very slightly with a distant condescension. "Name?"1 she demanded. y ' ������ "Edge." , In1 another moment I was in the ele- ���������, ' <��������� , - vator. ' No. 221 was the last'door but one at the ,end of the eastern corridor of the fourth floor. It.proved to be a double -bedded room, large, exquisitely ugly, " ������ but perfectly appointed in all matters of comfort. In short, it was characteristic of the hotel. I" knew that every, bedroom In that corridor presented ex- *\ actly the' same aspect. One, instinctive- '' ly felt the impossibility' of' anything 0 weird, anything bizarre, anything terrible,' entering the precincts of an abode ' bo solid, cheerful, orderly and middle class. It will be well for me to relate all that I did that evening. I went down to. the billiard room and played a hun- ' dred up with the marker. To show that my nerves were at least as^steady as usual that night I may mention that, although the marker gave me fifty and' beat me, I made a break of twenty odd which won his generous approval. The game concluded, I went Into fhe hall and asked the porter if there were any telegrams for me. There were not. I noticed that the porter���������it was the night porter, and he had just come on duty- seemed to have a peculiarly honest and ��������� attractive face. Wishing him good ' night. I retired to bed. At 3 o'clock I awoke, not with a start, but rather gradually. I know it was exactly 3 o'clock because thc striking of a notoriously noisy church clock in. the neighborhood was the first thing L I heard. But the clock had not awakened me. I felt sure that something else, something far more sinister than a church clock, had been tbe origin of disturbance. I listened. Then I heard it again. It was the sound of a groan in the next room. "Some one indisposed, either in body or mind," I thought lightly, and I tried to go to sleep again. But I could not sleep. The groans continued and grew more poignant, more fearsome. At last I jumped out of bed and turned on the light. "That man, whoever ho Is, is dying," The idea, as it were, sprang at my throat. "Only a man who saw Death by his side and trembled before the apparition could groan like that." I put on some clothes and wont in- toy the corridor. It seemed to wtretch away into illimitable distance, and far off a solitary..electric'light'.glimmered. My end was a haunt of gloomy shadows, except where the open door allowed the light from my bedroom to illuminate the long, monotonous pattern of the carpet. I proceeded to the.door next my own ���������the door of No..222, and put niy oar against the panel. The sound of groans was now much move distinct and more terrifying. I called. No answer. "What's the matter?" I inquired. No answer. Then I tried to open the door, but it was fast. ��������� "Yes," I said to myself, "either he's dying or he's committed a murder and is feeling sorry for it. Imust fetch tha night porter:" j I was compelled to find my way | along endless corridors- and down ! flights of stairs apparently inut:mora- ' ble. Here and there an electric light sought with'its yellow eye to pierce the gloom. At length I reached ��������� the hall. "There's a man either dying or very ill in No. 222,"'I said to the night porter. "Is that so, sir?" he replied. '"Yes," I insisted/ "I think he's .dying. Hadn't you better do something?". "If you think he's dying, sir, I'll call np the manager^ Mr. Thorn." "Do," I said. The manager slept on the first floor,' and he soon<. appeared, a youngish^ man in a terrajcotta dressing sown. __������ ey*s full of sleep, yet alert and anxious to do fhis duty. We all three con tinued our progress to the fourth floor. Arrived in front of No. 222, we listened intently, but we could only hear a faint occasional groan. , "He's nearly 'dead," <I said. The manager called aloud, but there was no answer. ' Then he vainly tried to open the door. The night porter departed'and'returned with a stout pair' of steel tongs. With these and the natural ingenuity peculiar to hotel porters he forced open the door, and we entered No. 222. ; ��������� A stout, middle aged man lay on' the bed f.ully dressed in black. r On the floor near the bed was a silk hat. As we approached the great body seemed to flutter, and then it lay profoundly and terribly still. The manager put his hand on the man's head and held the glass of his watch to,the man's parted lips. "He is dead," said the manager.;, '"H'm!" I said. ,' r _ 'Tin sorry you've r been put to' any inconvenience," . said the manager, "and I'm much obliged to you." . > . The cold but polite tone* was a'request to me "to re-enter my own chamber and leave the corpse to the,manager and'the night porter. I obeyed. * * * * * * ��������� * ' "What about that man?" I asked /the hall porter .early the next, or. rather, the same,' morning. I had not slept a wink since 3 o'clock, nor had I heard a sound'In the corridor. ' * '.'What man, sir?" the porter said. "You know,',' I returned rather angrily���������"the man who died in the night -No. 222." ' c , ��������� "I assure you, sir," heQsaid. "I haven't the least notion what you mean." Yet his face seenied as honest and open as ever. I inquired at the office for the manager and after ,some' difficulty saw him in his private office; - ��������� ' . VI thought I'd just see about that WHAT IS WORN. Smart and Simple _ovrn������ ��������� Dainty * Ha���������d Painted Muslin*. A very smart yet simple French frock is in a periwinkle blue cloth edged"1" with a cream lace application outlined with black and white chenille braid. This is made'in the form of a' tunic fastening with early Victorian buttons and finished with a black panne belt, with straps of em COLORS AND FABRICS. Cmpe* and Crepolines Are Smart. Pale Bine Is Very Popxilar. The fiat crowned hats have made the low coiffures more fashionable and the sides are dressed very widely whether arranged in pompadour fashion or in waved full bands. , " . Crepoline and crape effects are very popular and there are many lovely effects in gray,' putty and fawTn which make up beautifully with lace ribbon and fe'athcrsiitching. The sack bolero, much plaited'and trimmed with lace and silken tassels, is very effective. The vest of white silk should have a transparent yoke and a,deep frill of MUSLIN AND LACE GOWNS. Pale Green. Muslin. I* Very Smart. Elaborate Style*. Muslin and lace gowns really deserve a page' to themselves. A pale green muslin has bunches of orange pomegranates on it and is a complete mass of tuckings.' shirrings, etc' A very charming addition is a pelerine' of hand worked lawn bordered by green silk fringe. The , waist of this frock is enriched by a band of orange panne, which, altnough-it does not sound-like ,.Vi man," I began. . "What man?" the manager asked exactly as the'porter had asked. i< "Look here,'; I said, as I was now really annoyed; "it's all very well giving instructions to the hall porter, and I can quite understand you want the thing kept as quiet as possible, but 1 saw the corpse and was of some assistance to you"��������� "Excuse me," said the manager. "Either you or I must be completely mad." .' "Do you mean to say," I remarked, with frosty sarcasm, "that yoji didn't enter room 222 with me this morning at 3 a. m. and find a dead man there?" "I mean to say just that," he answered. "Well"��������� I got no furtfcer. I paid my bill and left, but before leaving I went and carefully examined the door of No. 222. The door plainly showed marks of some iron instrument. '.'Here," I said to the porter as'l departed. "Accept this half crown from me. I admire you." * * ��������� * ��������� ��������� ��������� ��������� In the course of my subsequent travels I once more found myself late one night at the Grand Junction Terminus hotel. "Mr. Edge," said the night porter, "I've been looking out for you for weeks and weeks. The manager's compliments, and he would like to see you in his room." Again I saw the youngish, alert man-' ager. "Mr. Edge," he began at once, "it is probable that I owe you an apology. At any rate I think it right to inform you that on tho night of the C>lh of No- vcmber, the year before last, exactly twelve months before your last visit here, a stout man died in room No. 222 at 3 a. m. 1 forgot the circumstance when you last came to see me in this room.'' "It seems queer," I said coldly, "that you should have forgotten such a circumstance." ' '.���������������������������,.' "The fact is." he replied, "I was not the manager at that time. My predecessor died two days after the discovery of tbo corpse, in room 222." "And the night porter���������is he, too, a new man?" "Yes." said the manager.."The porter who, with the late manager, found the corpse in room 222 is now in Eat well Lunatic asylum." "Then you think." I said, "that I was tho victim of a hallucination ' on my previous visit here?" , "On these matters." said the manager, "I prefer to think nothing." CHIT-ON HAT.' broidery, decorating ,the , full, rather round skirt, which barely touches the ground-all around. , In direct contrast to a costume of this sort there are some glorious hand painted . muslins _ on a silky ground., \ Pompadour designs are of course the favorites, and their beauty is much enhanced by the addition .of. little ��������� coats, 'either In' very fine old fashioned lawn or some real lace. The skirts > in such cases are accordion plaited ,or finely gauged, and most of them-are made with a'flounce starting below the knees to give the necessary fullness. The muslins this .year are works of art, consisting of,, masses of' tuckings, shirrings, iaces and even'fine embroidery. ' ,, -Sy> ' ��������� ;' >';.���������" v * .

JUDIC CHOLLET. FASHION IN SPEECH. Some, Word*- Go Ont'ot Favor and 'Vj^'WIn Tlieir Way Back. 1 ��������� The history of the race is written in the> words it uses. As,we grow and change, so our language grows0 and changes. Mr. Leon Mead in his book "Word Coinage" points out that some words go out of fashion and come back, like tan^shoes and wide rimmed hats, although the change in words ia much slower than the change in dress. In Spenser's day ^forestall," "fain," "scathes," '.'askance," "embellish" and "dapper" were not considered good, but they have since gained .respectability and won their place in the language. The seventeenth century regarded as obsolete a number, of Chaucer's words ���������"transcend," . ,"bland," "sphere," "blithe," "franchise," "carve," "anthem." One by one these words came to life again and walk the pages of our literature in full vitality. Other words now indispensable which the seventeenth century rejected are "plumage," "tapestry," "tissue," "ledge," "trenchant," "resource," "villainy," "thrill," "yelp," "dovetail." Bacon did not have the good word "encyclopedia," but used the heavy equivalent, "circle learning." Fulkc, the sixteenth century authorv who wrote "A Defense of the Sincere and True Translations of the Ilolie Scriptures Into the English Tong," did not admit '"neophyte," "homicide," "scandal," "destruction," "tunic," "despicable," "rational." Another book published in IGuS puts tho stamp of censure on "oblique," "radiant," "adoption," "caress," "amphibious," '-'horizontal," "concede," "articulate," "destination," "compensate," "complicated" and -"adventitious." It is hard to trace tho history of a fashion' in'.words; .Seldom.do we have the precise record that Chesterfield furnishes us in a letter in ��������� which, he says Svcearinfj to Excess. A cricket club in the south of Scotland, which has evidently found that tho use of lurid language doesn't add to thc amenities of play, has passed the following bylaw: "Any member swearing to excess may be expelled." I have not heard whether the club committee has yet arrived at a definition; of "moderate swearing." .The attempt to find one to meet all cases is likaly,-.to result in language both.."pain-, that he was present at the birth of the ful and free." word "flirtation" on the lips of a beau- lace., Touches of color can be introduced easily info such'neutral tinted' gowns, which, are equally charming worn with toques bV 'floral or big black picture "hats. ,' ryy-'< "-' ,l..'

The costume, should be completed by a' white parasol and white gloves. - The cut shows a bolero of fawn cloth, "stitched and strapped.

The' following are some' curious superstitions that are still extant among English speaking people: If you kill frogs your cows will "go dry." ������ Tickling a baby -will cause the child' to stutter. To thank a person for combing your hair will bring bad luck. To kill a ghost it must be shot "with a bullet made of a silver coin. To dream of unbroken eggs signifies trouble to come; if the eggs are broken the trouble is past ' - If you boast of your good health, strike wood immediately with your fist or you will become ill. To dream of a live snake means enemies at large, of" a dead snake enemies dead or powerless. To allow a child to look into a mirror before it is a month old will cause it,to have trouble in teething. A child will have a nature and disposition similar to those of the person who first takes it out of doors. Slim Dananai, c ' Do not buy slim bananas. They have bceu picked green and kept till' they turned yellow. They will always be found sour and puckery, no matter how yellow they may have become. Aral������ie Insanity Remedy.
