A number of photo-engravings purporting to represent a scene on Martin Btirrell's ranch, were pasted on business windows about 2 o'clock Wednesday morning by business men of the city.

When the meal was at length finished and the sitting room reached Mr. A -MILLION FlSOfiS. HALF A MLLION -rma-LES and tukee on four million GUltUAN CAlU'l" Bowser made a dramatic entrance and said: * "Now, then, for explanations, and I hope that you will see things just as 1 do and there will be nothing to argue about. I will own up that you have prevented me from entering into some very foolish speculations, hut in this case I know I shall find all encouragement. You know that the times havo been hard for the last few months." "Of course." "Men with even a good thing on their hands have had hard work to save it. and they are not out of the woods yet." "Wolf?" "Well, a man was in the office today with a good thing. ITe wanted to raiso a thousand dollars to save it; but, being unable to do so. he offered me the most colossal bargain of the century. It's gigantic, it's tremendous. It's something to take your breath away." "I'm listening." "Mrs. Bowser, where do frogs' legs t'ome from?" "They are cut from tho bodies of frogs." "And whore do we get turtle soup?" "From turtles unless the cook uses mutton." "And did you ever hear of a fish called the German carp?" "I have. It is said to bo excellent eating." .-'And now, Mrs. Bowser, frogs' legs sell at 50 cents a dozen pair, and there's always a demand. A turtle as big as the bottom of a quart dish sells for $1. German carp sell for 30 cents a pound, and the hotels can't get half enough of them. You see all this, dou't you?" "Yes." "Well, suppose*- we had our own private lake and in (hat lake wc had a million frogs, half a million turtles . and three or four million German carp. Would tliere be anything to prevent us from becoming millionaires?" "Xot a thing." "Ah. but that's the way I like to hear you talk!

"But what exchange?" "Wo are going to exchange our house and lot for a little farm twenty miles out, with a private lake on it. There's n fairly decent house and four acres of land besides the lake.

Hurrah for.us!" "The turtles, frogs and carp have been counted, have thoy?" asked Mrs. Bowser after he had got through dancing around. , "Why, no, of course not. The man estimates the number, and he says he has made a low estimate. In a month from uow, or by the time wo get out there, the increase will bo 10 per cent. Wo may catch uud sell all wo can, nnd the Increase will make up for it. I can write him that wo will exchange, can IT "Don't rush things, Mr. Bowser. Don't write at ull.

You go right out tliere and see the situation of things, arid if they are all right we will go into the frog, turtle and carp business. I havo noticed lately that you are growing old and have a harassed look on your face, aud I think it will be a great thing for you to get out in the country among the frogs." Mr. Bowser looked at her for a long minute to see if she was sarcastic or tu earnest and then adopted her suggestion of seeing the other property on the morrow. During the remainder of the evening he was busy withHigurcs. He figured 5,000,000 pairs of frogs' legs at 50 cents a pair. He figured 3,000,000 turtles at a dollar apiece. He figured '1,000,000 pounds of carp at 30 cents a pound. Arrives at Turtle Villa. It was a Cripple Creek. It was a Monte Crlsto. It was a Golconda. It was Standard Oil and the'steel'trust combined. After an almost sleepless night and a bile of breakfast he was ou his way, and by 10 o'clock in tho forenoon he had reached Turtle Villa. The place was a mile from the railroad station. It was a poor old frame house which had'never been painted nnd never quite finished. The orchnrd consisted of two dead apple trees and one cherry tree which was trying to live for spite. The lawn was a mass of burdocks and weeds. The lake could bo seen from the front gate. It was a pond off at>one side and at the foot of the hill. It was half.an acre in extent and at least two feet deep, and on a log sat a solitary bullfrog with closed eyes and a resigned air. "Ah, I hardly expected you today," said the owner of the place as he came out and shook hands. "No? I thought I would come and push things along. You call this house a villa, do you?" "Well, it will be when It's finished There will be four towers to it." "Urn! And this is the orchard?" "Tes, sir. We had nearly a bushel of cherries off that, tree last summer." "And this is the lawn?" "It is." "Urn! And down there is the lake?" "Yes, sir-Lake Crystal. From that lake you arc to draw your riches." Mr. Bowser stood and took a long look around, and tho longer he looked the madder he got. He finally turned to the map and said: "Sir. you are an infernal liar and swindler, and I can lick you in two minutes by the clock!" Then ho turned away and walked down the path and down tho highway and took the train for homo. Mrs. Bowser and the cat were on the front steps to greet him, and as he ascended the steps, he was asked: "Well, what about Turtle Villa?" "No remarks, woman!" he replied, with a glare. "You can pack your trunks and be ready to start for your mother's at C o'clock this evening. You have made a fool of mo for thp last time on this earth." M. QUAD. THE BOY WHO DIDN'T.

Being a truthful boy, little Willie replied: * "No, sir. I ain't got no grandmother. But the club that's in first place is going to play hero today, and I'd like to see the game." Tho old' gentleman stared at him helplessly for a moment and then drew from his pocket $2, which he handed to the boy. Ah, reader, you have already*guessed that the great man felt in duty bound to encourage such frankness���������but wait. "Here," said Henry Ilardrocks, "here's your week's wages.

Dr. Williams' rink Pills Restore a Despopdent fnffeier to Health. OCEAN AN ENORMOUS POOL ALICE STEEL, rMlrtUESS. Story of Little English Orphan Reads Like a Fairy Tale. Strange as it may seem, it is all really true. Little Alice.Steel, the orphan daughter of u bricklayer, has become the adopted daughter of the Princess of Wales, the future Queen of England. Her story sounds like a fairy tale. Hor father wns killed at his work nine years ago, when Alice was a tot of five. Two years later the terrible ig.it against overmastering poverty killed the mother. The children were sent to charitable institutions and _ Although it is now some years since I found it necessary to take medicine of any kind, I attribute my present good health entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Thus write.* f- Wm. M. Ferguson, St. John West, jN.B. Mr. Ferguson continues:���������"For years I was a sufferer* from chronic bronchitis and general debility. I had always been delicate but as I grew older* I seeemed to grow weaker, and at the approach of autumn I com- mensod to cough and had to remain in the house all winter. With tho coming of summer I always got a little better, only to be laid low' again when the fine weather was over. During my last and most severe attack my cough became more distressing and I raised considerable phlegm, while at night r would be bathed in a cold, clammy sweat. The doctor's medicine relieved my cough a little during the day time, but there was no other improvement as I had no appetite, the night sweats continued and I was growing weaker. I changed doctors three different limes but with no improvement. Then'I began to take cod liver oil, but my stomach had grown so weak that it refused to retain it. It was at this time when 1 was trying to reconcile myself to my fate that a pamphlet relating cures wrought by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills was left at my door. 'Although my ' friends thought me in a decline, and although I was feeling hopeless myself, I decided to try the Pills. After using several boxes, though I still continued to cough, I felt better in other respects, and my appetite wns gradually returning.

She visited the home, at Addlestone so often that she was asked if she would ���������ike a child as a protegee. 'Why, certainly," said the princess.* A child was recommended to her by the matron, but the princess said she preferred to choose for herself. So she looked them all over, and singled out Alice Steel, then ten vears old, whoso chief recommendation was that she was eternally getting into mischief. ��������� Her-choice was signalized by the princess calling the child to come with her for a motor ride in the royal car All this was contrary' to the rules, but what are rules to a princess .and. future_Quoon?-Alioo-wont.- Sho. wasn't told who her now found friend was, and she chatted alone ns gayly as you please, though perhaps had sho known h'er hostess was to be Queen some day she would have been tongue-tied with fright.

Winds and Currents Keep It Moving' Round and Round. The discoveries of modern science have revealed monsters of the deep as terrific as any that ancient fancy created and have shown that occaris aro not more wastes of water, but the' homos of an' astounding variety of living things._ More than this, it has been discovered that the seas themselves have each a sort of law of existence which they obey. The hydro- graphic office at Washington has ,for years been trying to learn somothing of the characteristics of the Atlantic' ocean as a groat moving body of pater by means of bottles containing papers, which have been dropped overboard from vessels ��������� in many places to drift at the mercy of the winds and waves. ' - - Many of these bottles have been found and picked up again either in the open sea or on shores where they had stranded.' Knowing from its records where the bottles had been thrown overboard, the bureau has been able to trace in a general way the path they must have followed in order to reach tho places where they were found. ��������� Being partially filled with air and then securely corked, the bottles float on the' surface of the water and go wherever the winds and the currents of the sea carry them. Each bottle contains a record of the place and, date of its starting. Some of those found have floated for many months on the bosom of the Atlantic and traveled thousands of miles. It has been' ascertained that bottles dropped overboard between tho shores of the United States and England or Franco generally travel toward the northeast, following the course of that, great rivc.r in tho ocean called the gulf stream. Bottles smarted off the coasts of Spain or Africa travel westward until they -arrive among the West India islands. Along' the European side of the ocean, the bottles take a southerly course and along the American side a northerly course. Thus as a result of winds and cui- ronts tho whole Atlantic is shown to. be slowly circulating, around and around, like an enormous pool. This accounts for the stories that were current in Europe hundreds of years ago of strange objects of human manufacture having floated: from the new to the old world, thus giving a clew to the existence of undiscovered lands across the f,ea.

There was a tendency to diminish tho height of stories as the buildings increased in size, and a height of 130 feet was probably attained.

If she didn't it would be a pretty mess; its very length saves her, for in brusn- ing it each day, she gets out all sorts of impurities, dandruff and the like, all of which is for her own .good. Now, that is the.reason why fewer women suffer from dandruff than the unfortunate members of the opposite sex, and it is also the reason why tho hair is a woman's crowning glory, even if she is fair, fat and forty.

The woman who freckles easily and dreads the summer time Is to be pitied. Tan and sunburn are unsightly und painful, but after awhile they disappear. But not so with freckles. They will remain through the winter months unless something Is done to remove them. This, as all know from experi- . ence, Is' much easier said than done, j They are as stubborn to remove as a willful child when It Is necessary to make.him obey. The following formula.is said to be pne of'the best to remove them; Lactic acid, four ounces; glycerin, two ounces; rosewater, one ounce. Apply this lotion to the face several times during the day. Put a small portion in a dish and dip a soft linen rag Into It and apply. All skins will not stand the same treatment, and .while some may -use this lotion or other face-lotions with no ill effect, others may suffer from a burning sensation of the skin. To prevent, this burning it will be better to massage the face after using the lollon with this elder flower cream: Almond oil, three ounces; white wax, Ave drams; spermaceti, five drams; lanolin, one ounce; witch hazel, one ounce; elder flower water, three ounces; oil of bitter almonds, one dram. ' Massage the skin with this every night nnd one will bo well'repaid for the little trouble. The skin will'become soft and supple and a dainty white. If the skin is inclined to be rough nnd dry, It will be beneficial. This cream is not only good to use after the freckle lotion, but on any 3ry, ugly skin.

Ahead of him Is about, three miles of boiler pipe, carrying ������00 pounds of steam pressure aud enough hot water to cook the moat off his bones In a jiffy. Clattering at his back Is 6,000 gallons of water and 20,000 pounds of coal. Dnder him is 200,000 pounds of engine, and behind there Is GOO.OOO' pounds of train. Altogether he Is' running along ahead of 800,000 pounds of steel, hardwood and brass held to an eighty pound rail by three- quarters of an inch of wheel flange. "Why, when one of those big Russian battleships fired a broadside at the Japanese the whole thing amounted only to 24,000 pounds, so the papers" say. 'And that 24,000 pounds traveling eight miles a minute would strike a Japanese ship eight miles away with an Impact only one-tenth of the force we hit the "empties at Mentor. "Of course I was the engineer and they depended on me. There is always a'lot of fine talk about engineers liavluj; ILie Uvea of-'bevprul buudn-d passengers in their hands. That's all very true, but you don't want to overlook- the fact that the' engineer's life Is right there along with the others. Wo all take chances, the train crew as well as tbe passengers, only our chances are slimmer. I had one ch'auce in 500 of being killed, or one in twmty-five of getting right where I am now, but a passenger on the train had one chance in about 3,000,000 of being killed and one in 130.000 of being hurt. "I see that a lot of people were killed and a whole lot more hurt I don't want to be a grumbler, but It app'ears to me that you fellows have -kinder overlooked the fact that both of my legs are gone' Of course that might not mean much to you, but if you realized, as I do, that for tbe rest of my life it Is going to be my job to hobble out Into the middle of some country road nnd wave a white flag as every train goes by���������if you could realize what that means to an engineer- to hear the mocking toot of the whistle ns she comes up to the crossing and to see the sympathetic salute of the engineer and fireman as they go flying by���������I tell you, my boy, tliere are some things worse than physical pain."

"If you draw the attention of the 'man in the street' to our rapidly diminishing supplies of timber he will in nine coses' out of ten say, 'Yes, that's so. Why the government ought to go to' work and plant up the open spots.' Lot us examine the practicability of such a scheme. With bwubs ui , w a large and well equipped nursery for [ Englishman uuoresses a j the growing of forest seedlings, and "Parkinton, Hants," as we with.labor at $2.00 a day, it is pos- a letter to "Columbus, O.," srble to reduce the cost of planting FACTS ABOUT COUNTIES. five feet apart each wav, to between $7.00 and $8 00 per acre. For sake of argument let us assume that it can be done for $5.00 an acre,'*-or $3,200 per- square mile. At this rate the planting of a township only six miles square would require the enormous expenditure of $115,200. The 'man in the street' will do some pretty hard thinking before he will consent to pay his share of the cost of such an undertaking, yet he will read in his morning paper that thirty, townships or more than a thousand square miles of woodlands in Northern Alberta. Saskatchewan or Manitoba have been destroyed by fire, and scarcely give the matter a passing thought. ��������� "Would it not be very much more to the purpose to take time by the forelock and use the money required to plant up 'a single township for the maintenance of an efficient fire ranging system, similar to the one already established in Ontario? ��������� To my mind the problem pressing hardest upon the Dominion Forestry Service for solution is the protection of the western woodlands from fire. The new railway being built through them and the -settlement that will quickly follow, will be a constant source of danger, but if fire rangers who feel the the responsibility of their positions and possess the necessary diligence, firmness and tact to faithfully perform their duties and secure the cooperation of the settlers and the railway companies, can be found and re-' tamed 'in the service, a great deal may be done to save invaluable forest areas from ruthless destruction." ���������A.

Some of Them Are Larger Than Many of the States. The county is a territorial division that the United States derived from Great Britain, where the counties correspond to the provinces or departments of other European countries and in a limited sense to the states of, the American Union. An addresses a letter, to address or "El- mira, N.Y." One state, which derives its usages from French and not from English originals, has no counties at all. In Louisiana these subdivisions of the state are still called parishes, both officially and in" ordinary speech, though they are now divided into many real parishes of the church. There are about 3,000 counties in: the Union, ��������� with an average size of about 1,000 square miles, ,but this average is enormously exceeded' in many instances arid is also frequent-' ly fallen below. Leaving out certain great unsettled counties in the west, the average county would be about 500 square miles in cxt-ent. In much of the western part of the country the- size of the county is regulated mathematically. It consists of sixteen townships, each composed of thirty-six square miles, making 57G square miles in all. In other words, each township is six miles square and each county twenty-four miles square. In Iowa there arc thirty-nine counties that were formed in this way, each one of which has'exactly 576 square miles. Such divisions were possible in tho newer west, where these minor political divisions were made in advance of settlement. In the older parts of the country the territorial arrangements were largely accidental. The largest county in the United 'States is Yavapai county, Ariz., which has.an area of almost 30,000 square miles. Nine states of the Union are each smaller than this county. It is larger than the whole of West Virginia and almost as large as South Carolina. The sixteen counties of Montana average' a greater size than the state of Massachusetts. Among the other great counties of the Union are San Bernardino and San Diego, in California, which are not only vast regions, but contain a great productive territory; Humboldt and Lincoln counties, in Nevada, which are only sparsely populated, and Lincoln county, N. M., which bids fair in time to have a large population. r" Although the New England states are small, the average size of the counties is greater than in most of the middle, western and southern states. Worcester county, in Massachusetts, is an example of an eastern county that is at the same time large in area and very populous. It is larger than the adjoining state of Rhode Island/ The smallest state in the Union has the smallest county as well, Bristol county, R. I., has only twenty-five square miles. At one place it is not more than two miles in breadth. II E' You Are Greeted by a Deafening. Ear Splitting Racket. m������MFi*JH .lltUMUm Mffi������MmW.'IMllff'WWm -M% WORSE THAN A BOILER SHOP.

Are'you aware that the modern surgeon employs in his work dozens ol clitlercnt Kinds "or thread-tor sewing up cuts and wounds? Among them are kangaroo tendons, horsehair, silk, and very fine- silver wire. Many of these threads"������are intended to hold for a certain number of davs, and then naturally break away. The short, tough tendons taken from the kangaroo, which are used for sewing severe wounds, will hold for about four weeks before they break away. Silk thread will remain much longer, sometimes six months, .while the fine silver wire is practically indestructible. With the entire outfit a surgeon is able to select a thread that will last as long as the wound takes to heal, and will then disappear completely. To accommodate this assortment -if threads, special varieties of needles arc required. Besides the needle craned in different segments of a circle, surgeons use needles shaped like spears, javelins and bayonet points. Carterhall, Nlld. Mmard's Liniment Co., Limited.

"Candle auction" is an ancient custom which still survives in Somersetshire, England. A valuable piece of meadow land in the village of Tatworth was sold recently by auction while the candle burned. The ceremony consists of the burning of an inch of candle, the last bidder before the candle's final flicker becoming the tenant for the ensuing year. ������������������ Previous to the auction freeholders, assembled "for a supper of bread and cheese, beer and pickles, the funds for this being provided from theJ'colting" of the new tenant. Fines are also imposed for speaking, nose blowing, laughing out loud and moving, other than bidding, while the candle is burning. To Make .Yoursslf Heard at All You Must Shout Into'the Ear of a Companion���������The Economy of Space and the Simplicity of Arrangements. Cliubing down ten rungs of an Iron ladder into the Interior of a submarine is like going into a boiler shop where there Is one continuous, deafening, ear splitting racket like a dozen trip hammers chattering a tattoo amid a grind and rumble and .thump of machinery as If, especially designed to burst your eardrums. At first the noise in that narrowly confined space Is painful and bewildering. To make yourself at all heard you must shout Into the ear of a companion. So Intense is tho strain, says a writer in St. Nicholas, that you marvel how day in and day out human ears can withstand the ordeal. You fiud yourself inside what seema an enormous steel cigar painted a neat pearl gray, a color which is serviceable and does uot d:i7zIo tire eye. Light comes to you'partly through portholes ancl In part from Incandescent lamps placed forehand aft In the darker parts of the hull. You have expected, of course, to land In a tangle of whirling machinery that fills the Inside of the boat from stem to stern, threatening with every revolution to take nn arm or a log off. Instead the first thing you see Is an uninterrupted "working space," or deck, measuring 7 by 25 or 30 feet. At the stern, far in the background, are the machines ancl engines. In fact, this section of the vessel is nothing but machinery, a rumbling mass of silvery steel and glittering brass revolving al the rate of fi'00 times a minute, so compact that you wonder how the various parts can turn without conflicting or how it is possible for human hands to squeeze through the maze to oil the machinery. But this economy of space Is as nothing to what you whl see. Tho floor you stand on Is a cover for the cells of the storage batteries wherein is pent up the electricity with which your boat will propel herself when she runs submerged. The four torpedoes, measuring sixteen feet three inches long, eighteen inches .in diameter and weighing 1,500 pounds each, are lashed end for end in pairs at either side, and directly over those are tool boxes and hinged bunks for the crew to sleep In. The very air which is taken along to keep life in you in case the boat should be detained beneath the surface longer than usual is compressed in a steel cylinder 2,000 pounds per square inch, a pressure so intense that were the'cylinder to spring a leak uo larger than a piu hole and were the tiny stream of escaping air to strike a human being it would penetrate him Ihrough and through and drill a hole "through an hich thick board behind him. Aird yet everything about the inte^ rior arrangements of this boat is so simple that you can see at a glance its purpose. Away forward, where the tip of the cigar comes to a point are the two torpedo tubes cut of which the gunner will send his deadly projectiles soothing bcueath the waters at the rate of 35 knots an hour against au unsuspecting hull. Directly under the conning tower Is a platform, three feet square and elevated three feet from the deck, upon which the c."ptain stands, head and shoulders extending into the tower, so that while at bis post he is visible to the crew only from tho waist line down, and at the feet of the captain and on a level with his platform Is I ���������stationed another of the offlcer3, in eliaige of the wheel that controls the diving ruddei-F ancl the gauges that register the angle of ascent ami decline and show how deep the beat is d(rWU. / The two officers are in personal communication, so that In case of heart disease or other mishap cither can jump to the other man's place.

A cold shower bath, followed by a rubbing clown with a coarse towel/ and ten or fifteen minutes' exercise with any convenient apparatus, is a great in- vigorator. Su'eb exercises may be taken conveniently in one's underwear, before completely dressing, or, if the weather- is not too cold, it may be done stripped with great credit and satisfaction. The in.'iu who once acquires the habit of a cold shower bath and exercise in the nude soon comes to enjoy it, and to realize-what a ��������� barbarous thing ic is to have to wenr'so many clothes. , He secures so much freedom of motion and feels such a de- lif.htful glow all over from the combination of exercise and nudity.

This pioves that the egotism of man will, sometimes rise above nature. Evk.v in this province some people are lacking in education. A lawyer was recently found in Vancouver who did not know the meaning of jack-pot. A i-ici-so.v in Atlantic City has a novel way of tilling liis chu-cli. lie preaches to men only, and allows the congregation to smoke during the services, and lightens the sermons by introducing moving pictures of the parables. So, gradually the gloom of theology is giving way lo the innovation of modern notions, and, perhaps, after a rime. some, cuter-prising skj'-pilot will introduce a song and dance in order to induce the wicked to move iu and get warmed by the light from the throne of grace. Tobacco'BlinJness. . Dr. Francis Dowling of Cincinnati, 0.. one of the oflicial body of the old school of physicians in thnt city, holds radical and decidod views as to the effect of tobacco-on the human system. He says: American boys are, smoking too much. Jn fact, they are smoking themselves to death. I stood at a street corner and.conn ted a hundred young iii-.!!*., out of them thirty- five had cigars in their mouths ��������� and many of these thirty-live were dyspeptie, wan, tired-looking persons, who seemed to be in need ol sleep rather than in need of a em ok e.

Six were fount] that manifested more or less the symptoms of tobacco blindness. It is an interesting scientific fact that the colored race is immune from this ullliclion. Out of thirty who were examined none were examined none were found to have the trouble. The women, I speak of whites, up to the present time seem to be practically exempt from this tror.ble. Out of fifty ex. amined in a Cincinnati tobacco factory some time ago only one was found to possess the tobacco blindness to a slight, degree. She was an old-time "employee in the stripping department, and was probably a user of tobacco.

Of all tbe employees in tlie tobacco factories 90 per cent, use tobacco in some form or other. They are forbidden to smoke in the factories, but do so after or before work. The ventilation of the work rooms, as a general thing, is as grod as as' could be expected in such establishments. The principal colors confounded by the afflicted are ntt\, confounded with pink, dark brown or black, the latter usually in the pronounced stages; green is confounded with light blue or white. A majority showed contracted pupils, some to the size of a pinhead. Once I found a young man of ninuiCfii, an inveterate smoker, who suffered from tob.icro blindness. Usually only the older men suffer. There is almost always a gradual but progressive failure of vision in both eyes. Luminous objects dazzle the sight, and_a bright light is worse for reading"than a subdued one. These patients are better in the evening than in the middle of the day. In addition to this, patients often complain ofaglim- meiing mist that covers all objects in a bright light.' Nicotine in the tobacco causes the allliction. The oily, colorless fluid diffuses itself in the blood'with as much rapidity as pru-isic: acid, and a poisonous dose lias been known to kill an adult in three minutes. The cheaper-grades of tabacco contain more nicotine than the expensive ones, consequently-are more injurious to the consumer. This is probably the reason why tobacco-blindness is more common among the poor than among the rich. Chewing tobacco is usually very rich, in nicotine. Nicotine usually exerts a marked influence on the blood corpuscles. To cure the disease of tobacco blindness tho use of tobacco and alcoholic drinks must bo stopped.
