Some valuable information has just been obtained from Mr. Frank Aiken, a pioneer mining man and prospector of this district, who has been prospecting in the Bayonne camp for the past eight years; and who owns eeveral valuable properties in that camp. According to Mr. Aikens, the Bayonne camp is from 0,200 to 7,300 feet above sea level. The principal groups in this camp are as follows: The Bayonne Group of nine claims, at present has four claims known as the Old Mike, Summit Bell, Echo, and Sunrise now working. This oro is free -milling gold aud runs as high as from $30 to ������500 per ton. There is now I over five hundred tons of high grade ore already on the dump on these claims. The next group of importance is the Mont-m***- * Group, consisting of three claims, owned by Phil. Casey and others. This group is very promising and the ore is very similar to that of the Bay- pnne. The Echo Group comes next with its six claims, and ������. force Gf miners are at present developing this group, which is.'owned by W" Maher. The ore assays ,*!?80 in gold. Then there is the Summit Ball Group, owned by F. Aiken, comprising three oleums. Th8 ore here assays from gCO to $115 per ton. There is a'tunnel, one hundred and fifty feet long on these claims, and it is regarded as one of the drawing cards of the camp. There is also the Old Mike Group of four claims, which is owned by Aiken and Ginsberg* There are four tunnels on this group and over seven hundred feet of work, has been done. The average gold assay is $50 per ton. After this is the Smuggler Group, with its three claims. It is owned by Messrs. Stewart and Malone, of Nelson. This group has assayed as high as $100 per ton in gold. The Campbell Group of foui* claims comes next, and is owned by Jos. Campbell. On this group the ledge has been exposed by stripping over 2,000 feet, and the ore runs from $30 to $70 per ton < in gold. The Arkanaw Group comes next with its three claims, owned by Angus Currie and others. Here there are open cuts, and the surface is stripped, expos- mi*; the ore on all sides, whioh assays u run FOUND'GUILTY OF ABDtJOTIOH AND THEFT AT DHiTH- BRIDGE Tuesday morning, October 19th, at Lethbridge, Wwlls was up before the magistrate to answer to s preferred charge of abduction | of a girl named Jones, -whom Wells, it appears, waa convinced he could convert into ft dram* atic star of the first magnitude. The '- Lethbridge-Herald says: "According to the first witness called, Mr. Jones, the father of the girl, Wells had represented himself as a theatrical man, and wanted Mr. Jones' daughter to attend a school in Denver, where she* would be trained for entrance to the stage. This Tones bad refused to allow* although Wells had come to him. repeatedly trying to persuade him to allow ths girl to go. - "Saturday nighty Wells and ths sisi took matters into their own hand, and decided to go in spits of protest. Weill walked into the house about 1 q'olock' Sunday morning and picked np the girl's* valise, telling her to come on right tmd* er the father's notice. This she did." This was the substance of the father's testimony, and after hearing the evidence of both sides, the prisoner, George t Weils, was found guilty on iho abduct- ' ion charge and sentenced to 23 months' imprisonment. He was also found guilty on the charge of theft and sentenced to ' an additional six montliB.

This is a raro opportunity for all fruit growers to lenrn tho art of paolting np- imcking apples and it is to bo hoped that many will avail thomhtolvum of tho opportunity. Mr. Pnlmer'B sorvicos on this occasion will be given freo. Frank Aiken, who is thoroughly famil iar with the Sheep Creek camp and other mining camps in B.C., says that in magnitude the Bayonne camp, although iu its now state, far exceeds tho Sheep Greek cnuip in importance and size. It is further stated that the Bayonne Group will start shipping as soon as tha wagon road from Oreston to the camp has been eomplotod in the spring. Crestou, .nooording to Mr. Aikeu, is the nearest shipping point by land to the Bayonne camp, and says that the general public have no idea of the many high-grade gold properties that are in that camp, Thoro is an abundance of wator and all tho timbor necessary for mining purposes for many years to come. The Bayonne camp, uccordiug to Mr. Aiken, is also n voritablo hunters' paradise, as both large and small game abound, and tho many small lakes in that can-in am literally filled with ducks and fish of nil kinds, I To the Mercantile Hall On Monday Evening Nov. i*t j And Hear the Famous KERRY 00W CO.

P 1 I For in ore than a year has serge been a fashionable material, and the number of serge gowns aud costumes being made up at the present moment would indicate that the fashion is still popular. Serge is a material that has generally been associated with the idea of cold weather, the winter season and practical hard wear generally; but there are now so many different weaves and weights, not io mention variety of colors, that the material has .assumed'a place of its own among the fabric* for .summer, as well as, winter, and no outfit is complete without st le.tst one serge costume. Black and blue have been and are the favorite colors for general wear, while serge somehow seems a ching apart and is u-ed for more elaborate, styles: but grey and brown have of late been added to the list. Brown serge is. however, not to be rashly reded, for if it is net of just the ] There ������re &o many different materials now to be found that will ma teh the colov *��������������� tho costume, but are far lighter in weight, that it is comparatively an enAy ta-sk to keep the all one color effect that is so much smarter than the white waist and dark skirt. Chiffon cloth, net, crepe de Chine and, once again, <"ilk are all utilised fov the so para to wi*.->t. which has a small chemisette and collar of cream -let or lingerie or is made ti> wear with white collar and tie. All the waists are simple, in design, but are dt^tinetly die-j"*. waists, not blouse, and are either undo over boned and fitted linin������- or arc wi.in over tight fitting coiset covers, tha niin being to li**ok as trim as ���������wssiblt*.

Oul* of the newest of the coat and to wear skirts aud overskirts* that are arranged with draperies and folds of the most intricate description, caught up here and there into fes-toocs, and drawn around the figure, in the form' o-f sashes, in various unexpected and decidedly uncomfortable places. /. t V The Low Sash. Those skirts, for instance, which tiro tied in with sash dra-peries .half-way b-'- tween the knee and the ankle, offer a case in point. It was not easy to-walk with anything approaching grace or freedom in the tight-fitting Dlr-ectolr-- gowns, but it will be impossible to do more than mince along in Japanese fashion in skirts which are actuall ytied in somewhere below the knees. We arc told that mc must suffer in order to be beautiful, but it is a pity, surely, to siiftoi and not to bo beautiful after all. It would be impossible, for example, to find anything approaching grace in thi*-.'* nte-tningic'v- folds of material which nro caught together and ti-wl into elutu**y bow-* on the front of the skirt, -midway between ankle and knee. The.io draperies are sometimes placed straight across a centre panel of fine embroidery, thus spoiling altogether the graceful effect upon those long lint*-, which ought to run without interruption from waist to feet. In a draped ^kirt there ai\* always infinite possibilities of charm and elegance, but t1> be entirely tucccs-sful each fold -and pleat must haw a distinct meaning rtiid intention of i'**1 own. and there must bo no baphaszard looping and draping on lim*������ which run in a. contrary duvet ion from those which arc taken by the naturally bountiful curves of the figure. smoothly with this silk or are draped in moire. Some of the soft corded silks ���������ire tentatively used also and there is talk of cloth covered hats to match costumes. The rough beavers are represented in the earliest showing, end there are of course smooth felts, although these appear to have been somewhat neglected in the making up of the advance models of every character. The all black hat has been much in evidence during the summer and its popularity* is likely to endure.

Blue serge trimmed with black is a combination that suggests itself, for black trimmed blue serge cotumes are always smart whether the black be in the facings and finish or in the braiding. At the moment the narrow soutache and the inch width Hercules braid and an inch wide fancy braid are the most in demand. There is no set rule as to how the braiding shall be used. There may he hands of it around the skirt. several different widths combined, or four ro ws of the inch wide bordered with the harrow soutache. Some of the costumes are most elaborately braided, while others have as little as possible on them���������just enough, to show that braiding is the "trimming above ail others. Smart Serge Costume. The. one piece short serge gown, a sort of long, lialf-fitting coat, has been and is considered the smartest of any serge costume. Extremely severe in line and detail, it possesses the much sought after effect of making the .wearer both extremely slender and .girlish, and although it does not fit, tight to the figure y it has all the appearance of it, and carries ont to perfection the very latest craze for a long jersey or sweater coat With a pleated skirt. Above tlie pleat������; nntirely covering the Jersey toy, or what looks like a jersey, the. material is covered "with an elaborate braiding of black soutache put on in straight lines alternating with irregular curves, the straight lines finished with crochet or passementerie tassels; the ������crge sleeves, full above the elbows, are finished with a straight band of the serge and below the hand a deep lace cuff. There is a small yoke and slick collar of lnco, and around the yoke and above the cuffs is a band of Chinese embroidery on n gold or silver braiding on a light color cloth. The same style is made in a much sininhw^plan without the oloborate braiding; and the plniner. morn even style find's quite as many patrons or the more elaborate. Too much braiding, especially when not carried out by skilled labor, lacks the" finish and style of the simpler gown. "For perfection in cut and simplicity of dofltyn it would he difficult to find a smarter garment than the long fitted coat of brown sorgo made on such ���������severe lines, buttona and ends at the eldes and front comprising all tho trimming excepting the yoke, collar and cuffs of Irish lace.

Thero are also cheviots that make up effectively, and it is effective in heavy ribbed ^on~ ge* and in the smooth cloths in plain | colors.

There are some new weaves of "white cheviot and white serge. The former with a herringbone design, as it is called, is a most attractive, fabric aud is rather a relief from the plain ribbed serge.y; of which so many costumes have been turned out.

Horses, Drives Cows���������Sounds Alarms' When Thieves Come and Tells When Postman Leaves a Letter in the Box. Auburn, Me.���������Electricity has been harnessed on the Ramsdell Farm, in Minot, Me., and at the button touch or timo clock behest of the proprietors it is made to do many kinds of work. The same subtle force that Benjamin Franklin ouee drew from' tho clouds on a kite string is now hitched up ab a willing slave to agriculture. This sixty acre farm is five miles west of Auburn,-, near the Lewiston and Mechanic Falls electric line. It was purchased by the present owners, father and son, eight years ago. The senior member of the firm, Osgood Ramsdell, was for a long time engaged in the mills of Lewiston, and the junior member, Edgar E, Ramsdell, has for years been an expert electrician and is chief inspector of Alio New England Telephone Company. For fourteen years he was in the employ of an electric lighting company in Salem. The entire familv is electrically in- rooms and a Morse register in the outfit. An electric clock is run 'entirely by batteries, without any aid from' springs . or weights. This clock will run a > year without renewing the batteries.' The* movement is valued at $50 by the inventor. A recent addition is a large self-winding calendar clock, and another unique, no-key electric devier*, making three electric clocks in the dining room. For the protection of the outside telephone line from the shop to the house there is a cutout^Jightning, arrester. This is located outside of the iiouse and is operated "by two cords.* In case of a shower one cord is pulled, cutting off the line where.-it .enters the building and- leaving the- arrester - connected to the ground. After danger from the lightning is over the other cord is pulled, throwin" the telephone once more into operation. r , Tho Ramsdciis do not expect to see ,many of the devices^employed-on their farm come into general use, but they' say they have good reason to believe that a considerable number of the ways of employing electrical energy now in use and being planned will he utilized on hundreds of Maine farms' in the lifetime of many-now living. The family includes the senior member of the' farm firm, Osgood Ramsdell, and wife; the son, Edgar, E., the prime electrical head, his wife and five young electricians. The eldest girl, Nina Ramsdell, eleven years old, will be the operator of the new branch magneto *������ ���������*���������*>- ALASKA'S BLACK GOLD. clined. Two other brothers, A.

" family, largely developed, and in leis- - - ure moments when at home have helped in the installation of electrical devices. Upon entering the house the visitor is confronted with an array of electrical mechanism" in the dining roonr which covered, a large space on the' walls. A feature of the entire installation, which includes a telephone and electric bell call in each room in the house, besides the manifold other connections with stable, " mail - box, poultry house and burglar and fire alarm "system is the entire absence of visible wires, except in the cellar, where the cables, disposed carefully out of harm's way, tell the story of skilful installation. The gratifying thing about the electrical plant is the fact-that everything works. Of the score or more separate devices used for utilitarian or demonstration purposes, all work with accuracy at tKe press of a button or the iniative of the clock that controls them. / NEW FASHION FALL COATS.

Here's a good general utility coat for fall and early winter wear..'It is made of elephant gray tweed trimmed with bandings and ties of satin in a slightly darker shade, and buttons of dull or oxidized silver. The lines of this coat and a many other fall styles are close, indicating a decided change in the outlines of the fashionable figure.

From this source it will be possible to-Obtain sufficient electrical power to Ho all the mechanical work oi the farm, such as sawing wood, grinding feed;; cutting ensilage, threshing and various lesser operations such as running the separator, corn shellef, grindstone, fanning mill; churn ahdsewirigAmachineyAAyA: '���������In Afacti after y seeingA what Ahasa-already A been ;,accomplished'!A:onAthis farm, visitors say A they will A not A ba surprised to find cows being milked, horses: curried and chickens picked by electricity in the near future.

While Alaska's gold reserves are large^they are ih no way'"unibi"ue,;:for refined" gold* is the samej"'whatever the source. But when it comes to coal_fields, says the American Review oi, Keviews, Alaska has no competitor. Its store.of high grade fuel cannot be equalled in quality west of the Rockies. In fact to find anthracite and bituminous coal which compares in fuel value with that of Alaska one must come east to Pennsylvania. These coals are, therefore, ths key to the commercial situation on the west coast. For a high grade steaming coal used for manufacturing" industries or o merchant marine or a coke for smelters in the Western.States one - must turn to Alaska. Hence the growing* population of the West has a vital interest in the development of theso coal fields. .

As forecasted in these columns some weeks ago,'Premier McBride, having completed satisfactory an-augeiuetits with the C. N. Rly., is now decided to appeal to the country for a continuance of their support, polling day to he November 25th, 1909. The appeal being based on the grounds of the success of the Government with its general and financial policy, and also a request to endorse his proposed deal with Mackenzie and Mann, as outlined below, and which will lead to a further great extension of railway communications ��������� ������1 * * ' XU. LJLLJ.O pl-JVJUI-C, ** Put in a nutshell, the arrangement is as follows: Subject to the approval of the electors, a contract has been entered into with the Canadian Northern Railway for the construction of a road from the Yellow Head Pass to Kamloops, by ���������way of the North Thomdsou River, from Kamloons to West- ���������minster and Vancouver, and from a point near Vancouver to English Bluff, to make a first-class connection with Vic-- toria, both for passenger and freight, land to build a railway from Victoria to Barkly Sound, a distance in all of about six hundred miles. The estimated cost of this line is not less than $50,960 per mile. The Government wish to guarantee interest on $35,000 per mile of ^4 per cent., holding for security a first mortgage on the line in British Columbia. We are unable at the present time to give any outline of the policy of the Liberal party. They seem to confine themselves wholly to criticism of details and personalities, and are quite unable to bring out a platform bold and complete enough to call for the support of the electorate. The needs of British Columbia are for a forward developing policy. The mere negative issues raised by Liberal politicians are not at all attractive to the people of UJp young and virile province, and we think that the electors will recognise this truth by giving their support to the forward program outlined by Premier McBride. It is a little early yet for the issues to become clear cut enough for the average elector, but as polling day draws nearer and nearer, the development schemes of the present Government will shine out more and more against the mere negative criticism of a discredited Opposition, and we venture to predict the return of the McBride candidates by an overwhelming majority. <������������������������? ������������������^^^������������������'i^irfad^ ^ ���������wl'*m|.u^.c^l..������,. ^MWWMM JCl>B^Tw-.Wi������f������rx������rwrS������������E7*i 'Stf ������������S*%i i^ ���������=* jaa' ���������**������ rr~r--*^^fffmBBg85*j������-^eit*m*agi!giy #7-"acTj &Jl;SnyyyA 8 & b - w ���������Win-ii:^Bin ^nir ���������J notei or ine \ Fruit Belt .a Fa ti if 1 imfMhttinnvtv-AKMKa k -*e*nas%s������Tt.Haa_mfimwL*e***r*a *Mtu*ar^anc*tt������t*rv^ WHOLESALE;yWINE5, LIQUORS j&j&mj&mAND CIGARS ^^^^g^g^g^. *xmn,,v.rr.r ... ,������A*, ������.-.^w.��������� .--t"*t-.���������-v-r^Tr^i, Our Call Guests cAgain make no mistake when you get off the train A .. if you sign the register at the Creston Hotel.

The common opinion regards short- eight as an ailment which merely prevents due recognition of distant objects. It is not realized that much more is involved than this. Our limited reuse oi vision gives us not only a circumscribed but aisc a different view of our but- roundinga. Thus, in admiring Nature, I, tbe myopic, behold a landscape other than that which spreads before you. Vegetation, for instance, is blurred and soft like an impressionist picture, the color spreading occasionally as if a child had handled the bru-?h. You see spaces between the - clearly-defined ' leaves of the tree and the light shiniuyv through the spaces. I see merely a sof' mass with no spaces, the leavers all blotting into one another. The same holds good with other respects of Nature��� it is a world without detail or outline, thus giving even solid buildings a cloudy and unsubstantial look. Not only the inanimate, but the animate world presents Itself in strange forma of the myopic. Humanity, for in- utanoa, is often revealed in somewhat '"hum-us guise. Thus, so far as ocular demonstration goes, the world to the short-sighted is peopled by men and women as faceless, sometimes even as head- ��� less, as the horsemen of legendary fame. Indoors myopic persons get quite accustomed to "talking with persons who "have neither eyes nor nose; out of doors the phenomenon is more striking, because oftener repeated. At quite a, short distance the face melts into the atmosphere and becomes either a cloud or, Uke H. G-. Wells' invisible man, a noth- ii-gsess. I see the hat and the figure, sometimes the beard; I see the walking stick���if the hand, is ungloved this stick is waving nsiracuiousiy a little way from the sleeve edge for the hand, like the face, has vanished.���Constance Clyde, in the September Strand Magazine.

The way a man or woman walks means more to a close observer than the walker would admit. A good reader of character will pick the man of purpose from the crowd on the street eevry time. Soms> may move slowly and others with a*'rapid stride, but the way they do it is what counts. The swing and bearing give an impression of just what a man does when at work. Some day the young man who bears himself well will walk right into the position he desires. He often leaves his country' town with an awkward, shuffling gait and returns like the soldier with the manly walk of enterprise. The walk and bearing of success have come with his rise in life. The town lis proud of him and that quick, wide-awake alertness lends a bright examplerto the community. There is the man who walks slowly, but with a sureness of step which tells that he locks every door behind him which ought to be locked. Hero are two men who Bet a Bwift paco to their places of work. One is the business manager of a biff magazine and the othor a soda fountain dispenser, but they both excel Jn their line. And each appreciates tho othor for a good mazarine and a good drink. ��� < - ��- . County of a Thousand Koys. Monroo county is tho most unique county in the State, if not in tho United States.

Just forty years had elapsed on May 10 sine�� tho rails of the Union- Pacifie moving westward met the rails of the Central Pacifio moving eastward at Promontory Point near Ogden, Utah, ��rd the first transcontinental railway vra completed. When Thomas Durant of the Union Pacific, and Gov. Leland Stanford, ci California, drove the" last spikes in, the first continent girdling line on May 10, 1860, ths whole country, says Lea- lie's Weekly, waB metaphorically looking on. Things were very different forty y��ars late; when, without any golden spike, without the presence of any of tho principal officers ot the company, tho last rail on the Pacifio Coast extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway, now known as tho Chicago, Milwaukee and Pu-gei Sound Hallway, waa laid at a point two miles ���east of Missoula, Mont., just before the o o'clock whistlo blow oa March 31 last. Thoro was no celebration, of any kind, and the only speech was the remark of ths contractor to the foreman, "Bill, that's a good job." Tho length of tha extension just completed from tha Missouri River to Seattle and Tacoma is a trifle over 1.400 Julias nud brings; the total mileage of tho Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Boilway up to ���*>,- 000 miles. The completion of tho now line was turned April 1$, 1906. No Pacific Coast line of any railway and no line of equai length, crossing three mountain ranges has ever been constructed withia the short period of throe years. Duringv this period . 60,000,000 cubia yards of material have been excavated, 260,000 yards of tunnel driven, twenty nuk-s of badges erected, and 200,000 ions of eig-htj-fivc pound rails laid at s total cost of SS5sO00,0QG. Tho ballasting of th��- now transcontinental line will be completed about June 1, 1909, and regular freight and looal passenger service will bo established thereafter. Tho new lino as far west as the oity of Butte, Mon., has been in regular operation since September, 1903. ��� ���������� WHY NOT SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE?

It would be difficult to find a greater oddity rn church architecture than tho Seaman's Bethel, on Rattlesnake Island, close to the port of San'Pedro, off the coast of California. It is the decayed and weather beaten hulk of an old ship that used to ply the salt' seas. Becoming unseaworthy, iu was .beached, made fast with cables and transformed into a church. The Seamen's Bothel is a mission church maintained for the benefit of tho snailors that come into San Pedro harbor and of the fishermen of Rattlesnake Island. AU the machinery and seagoing fixtures have beeu removed from the olu hulk and the rooms amidships that used to open into the engine room havo been combined into the assembly hall. The after deck has been boarded in and^ transformed into a reading room. Tiybies and chairs, with many books, magazine*-*- and newspapers, give the place a homolike appearance, and here the sailors of the Seven Seas, with human derelicts from many lands, congregate in the afternoons and evenings to find out what is going on in the great world. Really the Seaman's Bethel is a sort of institutional church.. The after part of the hold has been fitted up a* a gymnasium. Here also is a bowling al-. ley, and in another corner are bathtubs and a water heater. Another part of the hold is fitted up with bunks, where the sailor who finds himself "broke" between voyages is made welcome to spend the night���or as many nights as he pleases.���From the Kansas City Star. How Sparrows Came to New Zealand. The Register publishes the following paragraph quoted from its .issue of June 23rd, 1859: "It appears from the New Zealand papers that the country at particular seasons is invaded by armies of caterpillars, which clean off the grain crops as completely as if mowed by a scythe. With a view of counteracting thi-* plague a novel importation has been made. Mr. Brodie has shipped 300 sparrows on board the Swordfish, carefully selected from the^best hedgerows in England. The food alone, he informs us, put on board for them cost ��18. This sparrow question has been a long standing joke in Auckland, but the necessity to farmers of small birds to keep down the grubs is admitted on all sides. Mr. Brodie has already acclimatized the^ pheasant, which is abundant in the north."���Adelaide Register. e *�� Red, -WeaSe, Wearr, Watery Eye*. Relieved By Murine Eye Remedy.

On* of the most annoying things about swans is that they live to. an extremely great age, and that it is impossible for the ordinary observer to guess what thoir years may be. President " Grover Cleveland - once had an amusing experience with some swans, according to a writer in the American Magazine. He had been in the south,- shooting, and brought home a number of wild swans, one of which ho sent to each member of his Cabinet, and to some other associates. "All the boys," said Air. Cleveland, "thanked me politely lor haying-, remembered them, but none of them seemed to have much to say about how they enjoyed the birds. "Carlisle, 1 found, had'his. cooked on a night when he was dining out. _ Another, when I asked him, said he hoped I wouldn't mind,'but he had sent his home to his old mother. Thurber didn't mention his bird at all for two days. Finally I asked him about it.

What aro you talking" about, anyhow? Por the last fifteen minutes or So I've been conscious of a sort of buzzing noise- not unlike that of J a motpr boat that skips occasional explosions. Was it you talking? I can't remember that you've said anything' du"fjing,Athe ^quarter of an hour, but it is' presumable of coure that you thought you were saying something. It isn't altogether likely, either, that you'- _^ve been talking to yourself. "* Am I to understand that you've been directing this, rataplan of unmeaning chatter at me? Because; really, you know, I'm obliged to confess that I've only caught a phrase ^here and there, and I'm going to leave it to you to judge whether any of these observations you've been making ware sufficiently intelligent to call for any kind of an answer from anybody.

I was only trying to act agreeable by making you think I was interested. Well, this thing of acting agreeable all the time, especially on top of a hard day's work, isn't my idea of what those Chicago University professors call a perfect connubiality, and I consider it only the fair thing that you know this now as well as at any othar time. All I hear around here is gas bills, how frumpish the fat Mrs. Puttonlugs looks in a directoire dress; how you saw some shirt waists on sale for $1.38 to-day that cost $2.98 at the beginning of the season; how you saw a man abusing ahoise' on the street this morning, and you felt like 'phoning to the Humane Society, only you didn't know the Humane Society's number, and all such eseelsior stuffing. Does it ever enter your mind that we're put here to grow mentally as weil as physically? And is it your idea that a woman fulfils the whole duty of a wife when she sees to jt that the beds arc made and the mantelpieces dusted and the pot roast put on the range at the. proper-,time, and all, that sort ot tiling? Did you ever endeavor to reason it out that it's sort of expected of a wile that she be, onggtjeast try to be, something of an inwHectual companion to her husband? How's-that? -You've heard me say, time and again, that 1 wouldn't live with an intellectual woman for $8 a minute.

By intellectual woman, as J. use the phrase in ordinary conversation, Imean one of these women that think they know about nine million times more than their husbands, with an overhang ot knowledge sufficient to permit of the-r knowing more than anybody else on earth. That's what I mean by an intellectual woman. Well, a woman doesn't have-to belong to that type in order to make things a little interesting around the house.

Their purpose is to discover'the supposed hidden cases of pellagra, probably under treatment as eczema or other maladies, to collect as many facts about it���������and particularly its origin���������as possible, and by son- oerted action to get from . the State Legislature a law in regard to the inspection of all grain shipped into the State ' if investigation shows the correctness of the Italian theory that pellagra is rue to corn fungus. Ths United States Msriae Hospital service has already taken up the matter, and has sent out a great deal of information about pellagra. This has coused no little alarm, and it is probable that many eases of false pellagra will be reported. It is feared, -too, that the general statement that eating mouldy or musty corn s the cause of the disease will work harm. In the form of cornmeal or grits or hominy corn is much more used in the South 'than in any other part of the country, and is the staple article of diet , for the great** majority of the population.

Prom Swakopmund, higher uo tho coast, tbe railway runs inland to Windhuk. and it is hoped that the near future will see the two inland termini linked together and the gest and most msrtile parts of the country opened up thereby. But the cobt of maintaining the line be-, twenn Luderitzbucht and Keetmanshoop has proved enormous. Water has to be carried in trucks. Native men and women are employed continually in' keeping the sand off the line, which but for their incessant shovelling would disappear as effectually as if dropped in mid ocean. This awful desert waste is twin sister to the sea in its "hunger for humrn life. Restless, changing, wild, weirdly seductive, it has tortured and played with human life, conquering always.

With some the wind deals mercifully, wreathing tfrem in her winding sheet of sand. A striking feature of the railway construction in German Southwest Africa is ,that white the railways of the north have a gauge for toylike trains, those of the south are of the same guage as the Cape Government railways. And already the Germans are talking openly of. jinking up with . the Cape Colony in the near'future, ir is to be honed that colonial and imperial "policy combined wili prevent sjtch a-posslbillty.-but it is an indication of the long headed policy which actuates the German Colonial, Office. * Boat Hauled Through Surf by Horses.

Their boat was pulled ashore by a team. J. L. Ecker, of Dorchester, the owner of the boat, and William A. Krauth, who was visiting him, undertook "to In ing the boat into Boston harbor. Everything *. seemed propjtious until they Vere' opposite Sagamore Hill, when-the power gave out. The boat .was unmanageable and drifted rapidly to the beach. The men could do nothing but try to keep tho boat righted and- Patrojmen Mullen.-iiid Dwyer went to their aid in a small boat. By thia time n,crowd of cottagers had gathered and when the boat caino into the breakers, about 25 of these waded into the surf and lent a hand in pulling the boat ashore.

He suffered from'insomniaj his miiid became disordered, and he died in much suffering. It was about the same ' timo that -the second case, that of Miss, Stio Woods, was discovered* and the malady was identified. There was much in Freeman's story wliich shed light on the subiect and mav . cause some modifications' in the opinions as to the oiigin of the pellagra. Free- > man was 56 and had run a grist or corn- meal mill until five years before his - deoth. iie had lived almost exclusively on corn instead oT wheat brad. It was - his practfee to eat uncooked cemmeal almost ddily at the mill and he carried aiound a pocketful of corn kernels, which he ^nibbled on from time to time,' as he thought- it helped the heartburn from which he suffered. His case ' throws a great deal of responsibility on corn as the cause af pellagra, but sug- - gests at the same time the possibility-, that it may fcs due to raw or .uncooked corn or meal as well as musty meal, or to too exclusive a corn diet in hot leather.

It is noted ��������� as*- a* coincidence that pel lagra appeared in Mississippi'witli the' coining into the agricultural districts' of the State of the Italian, in whose, land the disease originated and -among whom it is most prevalent, and there is1 a suggostion that pellagrous Italians, may hnve emigrated into this country. The disease was first reported in Amer-- iea in 1883, whert a newly arrived Ital-' ian was found in, a New," York hospital suffering from it.' There Is no suggestion by the physicians that pellagra is contagious, although it wus called of old "Lombardy leprosy," bub the concidcnce is arousing attention in Mississippi, where tho Italian laborer is very un- pomilur in certain circles.
