He said to your correspondent : "The tungsten district in Stevens county has a chance to overshadow Boulder county, Colorado, in the next few years. Boulder county is the country's chief producer, having an output of from 3,000 to 4,000 tons of concentrates a year. There is sufficient ore in the Stevens county to harden steel for all the war guns, all the battleships and all commercial uses for the century to come, and the profits that will accrue from its production may equal the millions in gold taken from several of the foremost fields in the country. "Three camps are under development. One is the Germania in Cedar canyon, 30 miles north of Springdale; the Tungsten -King, eight miles north of Dear Park; and the Blue Grouse, a mile south of the Tungsten King and eight miles from Loon Lake. Several tons of concentrates have been sent to the market. Prospecting is proceeding at many points in the field, .embracing an area of 10 by 40 miles, and corporations are being formed for development on a broad scale.

By CLARISSA MACK IE. [Copyright, 1910, by American freas Asso- clailonTj It was twiligtu when Harry Ayer.** and his guest found themselves outside the Temple ol ihe Five Sighs. They had visited a dozen ancient Calcutta temples that afternoon, and now the dusk had suddenly fallen and (unied : the crooked length of tlie harrow street Into a dim perspective, lighted, here nnd there by a lauteru swinging ahove ii doorway. Iu the foreground arose the blank walls of the stone edifice, pierced by a low door, beyond which trembled 11 faint red glow. '"Have you the courage for another one before dinner?" asked Ayers, pausing at the foot of tlie stone steps. "Certainly." returned Lnngvvood "The dozen we have seen this after noon have not left tlie impression of antiquity and mysticism for which i was prepared. 'J'he carvings are will- out doubt exquisite, the Images mas terpleoes of horror, but the prlests- bah!" Ayers laughed. "I prophesy that you meet your Waterloo here. Dick. 1 have never visited this shi'lne, but Lester has. You know Lester of the India bank?" Longwood nodded. "Chap with white balr-inot him al your club." "Lester claims his white hair was the result of a night spent In this temple," said Ayers over his shoulder, feuding the way up the steps. The orhei* made no reply, and together they passed through the door and stood Iu the outer court of the temple. Here mendicant priests squatted about the door of the Inner shrine, presenting skinny hands for alms. Once past these birds of prey they were engulfed in a pale blue cloud of incense, and through it they dimly perceived a large image of the Buddha, gay in rich vestmeuts aud sparkling with gems. The massive head looked down' upon them with expressionless with the heavy perfume of the red lotus encompassing iheui like a rosy cloud, until they seemed to stand together isolated from the world Iu tho midst of eddying shadows and vague murmuring sounds, with no object In view save tbe implacable face abovo them and the writhing (lower at Its feet. Hours seemed to pas3 before tho faint whispers of the last sigh stirred the shadows. When it had passed over them and died away in a shuddering moan Ayers was crying like a little child, while Longwood stared wido eyed nt tbe diminishing flames of the lotus flower on tbe altar. As if by some magic influence the air cleared of the swlrllug incense, objects came plainly Into view, aud tbe perfume of the lotus flower changed to the acrid smell of opium that cling3 to many Hindu temples. Tho lotus flower was gone, and Its palpitating beauty had given place to the delicately tinted bowl they had at first admired. ' Ayers regained his composure and faced his compnnlou with defiant eyes. "You may believe uie to be a fool, Lougwood," he began, when the other Interrupted him. "1 know, too," he said slowly. "Let us find Lester." Without another word they went through the low door and out upon the street, where the begging priests cringed away from their white faces and where tho solitary lanterns dotted the blackness of the street. Ayers scratched a match nnd looked at his watch. "Seven o'clock. It wasG:*J5 when wo entered," he announced grimly. Longwood made no answer, A half hour later, still silent, they found Lester at his bungalow. He was a tall man, lithe and slender and not more than thirty years of age, yet the thick hair above his forehead wus as white as snow. His keen dark eyes questioned them. Ayers nodded. ecessary for Eczema Surprising Results Obtained from DR. CHASE'S OINTMENT in Treating This Obstinate Skin Trouble. Eczema may arise from a variety of causes but once started it is a skin disease and will continue to si-r^ad and become more annoying until local external treatment el'iccts a cure, This is why Dr. Chase's Ointment has supplanted the old-fashioned internal treatments which weie always disappointing in results. When this soothing, healing ointment is applied you see and feel the benefits in short order. Tlie itching, slinging sensations are overcome and with the wonderful relief thus obtained you are encourarrcd to continue tlie treatment until gradually the sores are healed up anJ tlie disease thoroughly wiped out. What is so annoying and discouraging as disfiguring itching, skin dis- senscs. In Dr. Chase's Ointment you have a cure for such ailments arid this is so clean,, pure and soothing that it ���������becomes . a great pleasure to use it Its use* makes the skin soft, smooth and velvety and for this reason it is much sought by persons whose skin is susceptible to the'changes of the weather. Mrs: Link, 12 Walker st.eet, Halifax, N.S., states: "After thiee years of miserable torture and sleepless nights with terrible eczema, and after trying over a dozen ien:e i *s without obtaining.anything but slight temporary relief j 1 have been perfect.y and entirely cured by using Dr. Chase's Ointment.

When It Costs $7,609 to Get $1,000- "Writ of Extente." Until a month ago, few people had ALWAYS TOE CCRLINO, CLINurXQ TAPOB. eyes and calm, inscrutable face. Behind the sealed bronze lips were locked secrets of ihe centuries. A solitary shaven priest adjusted a prayer screen and arranged ou a long teakwood table a row of porcelain bowls. Then he vanished, leaving the Americans alone In the sanctuary. They drew togeiher and moved nearer the Idol. Down in the radiance cast by banging brouze lamps their momentary depression fled, aud they examined with Interest the rich carvings and inlaid work within tlie great niche. As they lingered the silence seemed to close in about them like a wall, and ���������with one accord they turned toward the 'door, but the doorway was obscured in heavy swirliDg clouds of Incense, and through the blur they could . scarcely discern each other's pale features. Ayers opened his mouth to speak, but the words were never uttered, for at that Instant a low. sighing whisper stirred the silence until the very air oeemcd to vibrate with its Intensity of sorrow and then died a way. The two Amerlcnns scowled at the Impassive Idol In tbe niche, as If seeking some explanation of the mysterious sound and the strange Influence that seemed to rob them of all vitality���������to leave them helpless and Inert before the inscrutable face. ' Between the feet of the squatting pod was a small Jiowl of some strange substance In the. form'of Ihe beautiful red lotus flower of the east. Iu turn they touched It with iheir fingers and admired Its beauty. When It was' ngalu on Ihe altar their gaze clung to it. nnd as they looked the petals seemed to exJMind and float on lho misty vapor as on some quint, gray bosomed lake. Again the long shin swept over them nnd with 11 a breath of exquisite perfume from (lie loMis flower. With n mighty effort Longwood tore his gaze nway from the flower and made toward the plnce where he believed (he door to be. Ayers followed with laborious punting breaths as one who battled against heavy waves. Bolid walls evaded their eager searcb- alwayy the ctirluig. clinging vapor, receding, advancing In larger billows un t.U. choking and gasping, they found themselves imi-e more nt the feet of tli** god. where petals of tbe lotus flower writhed and twisted like tongues ot rosy flame. Once more tho strange whispering sign swept over them, a sigh heavy with ominous foreboding. It died uway and wns repeated, and then fell tbe oppressive silence. ^ Ayers clutched his companion's arm. "if it comes once more I shall go mad," he breathed hoarsely. "it will come once more. There Is tlic name, you know���������the Temple of the Five Sighs. There must be one more." Long wood's voice was tense with restrained emotion. And so they listened in the silence. Lester. I owe you an apology for doubting your experience in the temple. If it was anything like ours"��������� He shuddered and threw himself into a chair. "How did you guess we had been there?" asked Longwood, with a strange dread In his tone. Lester swung open a door on the Inner side of which a mirror was paneled. In its surface they saw reflected Ayers' flaxen head and pale face and Long wood's jet black hair with a single white lock on the forehead. "I knew by that!" said Lester gravely. "And���������let me see your hands!" The two men held out their hands, palms upward. On the thumb and forefluger of each right hand was a small blood red stain shaped like the petal of a red lotus flower. "You can't obliterate it," continued Lester, with .a note of pity In his voice. "It is the lotus mark, and every man who has laid profane hands ou the sacred bowl will carry that mark to his grave, and It will be an early grave, too. unless one can cover It up. That Is one way to avoid the espionage of those who avenge. The other way"��������� He paused, and his voice lowered. "The other way?" asked the two men eagerly. "Is to leave the country, to clear out forever, and yet sometimes vengeance follows unless one covers the mark!" He moved to the cupboard and took down a bottle of some liquid and poured a little on bis handkerchief. He rubbed the palm of his right band and there sprang Into view a small and perfect flower of the red lotus. "We merely touched it and went down into hades!" breathed Ayers heavily. "And you���������you"��������� "I held It In my hand and went still farther," said Lester coolly as he replaced the bottle and took down another one containing a milky substance. With a small sponge he covered the palm of his baud, nnd the red flower faded under a uniform flesh tint. "Here, bold out your hands," he added. "Water will not harm this covering. Time will wear It off,' and it must be renewed. I will give-you tho recipe. We who use it call It our 'life preserver.' It will he j*ours too." "Why do they leave the blasted thing exposed like that?

"The temple is not for uninvited foreign devils to enter save at their own risk. Jf you had been warned of its malevolent influence, would you have touched the red lotus?"

The cruel and senseless game of cattle-maiming and driving shows no abatement in Ireland. The other clay one of those raids took place on the lands-of Miss Summerville, about one mile from Gal way City. Until last autumn Mr. Milling of Gahvay held twenty-five or thirty acres of the land for grazing purposes, but the United Irish League compelled him to surrender his tenancy. The land was then taken by -n small farmer in the district. Although the whole district was patrolled by police, the sheep and tliirty head of cattle were driven from the farm; many of the tails of the latter were severed and left lying in tlie fields. ever heard of a "writ of extente." It was ono of those nuzzling legal terms, the origin of which seems lost in tlie mists of antiquity. And this is how it came to be resuscitated, and obtain u world-wide boom* A Mrs. Pridgeon, who keeps a small shop in the Thames-side resort of Teddingtoii, received $1,500 from an army captain, who died owing the 1TTT., , ..

Now, instead of ask- 'We vo been there, ! ing Mrs- p,-idgeon for the money, and, Insufficiently Protected Mary had been greatly interested in watching the men in hor grandfather's orchard putting bands around the fruit lives, and asked a great many questions. Some, weeks later, when in the city with her mother, she noticed a gentleman with a mourning band around his sleeve. "Mamma," she asked, "what's to keep them from crawling up his other arm?" if she refused to pay, suing her in the ordinary way, the Treasury quartered an official on the lady, with instructions to keep an eagle eye on the shop-till, and extract five shillings a day from the takings until tlie sum owing was paid. They were proceeding under a process which dates back to the time ol Magna Charta, and which specially reserves to the King the right to recover immediately any debt in danger of being lost. Therefore, a jury was solemnly sworn���������not to try the merits of tbe case, bear in mind, but simply to decide if Mrs. Pridgeon's goods were worth $750. And it was not until several questions were asked in Parliament,* and a legal protest raised against the injustice of any Englishwoman being denied the right of trial by jury, that the Treasury man suspends annexing $1.20 a day. It wants a great mind to grasp a hundredth part of the anomalies of Britain's costly law. One unfortunate litigant recently told Judge Fdge at Lambeth County Court that he once brought an action in the High Court to recover $1,000. "And," he added ruefully, "I had to pay $7,500 in costs!"

A remarkable fish story comes from County Coven, Ireland. Here it is: Two anglers, resting leisurely in a small boat near the mouth of the River Finn, saw an enormous fish approaching them from Lough Erne. They could see its back above the water as it ploughed along the surface, raising great waves on each side. They quickly pulled their boat aside, but the fish gave chase, and was quickly alongside. Plunging on the surface at a furious rate, it appeared to be fully ten feet long, with proportionate girth, and a very large head. Scared beyond measure, the men, Francis and Philip McDon- augh, shot into a weedy place whence they watched the monster dash up the river to a small deep lake, where it disappeared. The brothers say it was unlike in size and shape any fish they ever saw. Daily, since the occurrence, the river bank has been crowded with people watching for its reappearance.

BROKEN HEALTH BRINGS WRINKLES How All Women Can Preserve Good Health and Good Looks Too many women and girls look old long before they should. In nine cases out of ten it is .a matter of nealih. Work, worry, confinement in- uoors and lack of exercise cause the health to run down. Then faces become-thin and pale; lines and wrink. les appear, there are headaches, back- aches and a constant feeling of tiied- ness. Women and girls who icel well look well. Therefore improve your health and you w.ll look better. It is a fact that thousands of Canadian women and girls owe tlie robust health ihey enjoy to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Tn'ey feel well and enjoy life as only a healthy person can. The simple' reason for this is that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make njw, rich, red biood, which strengthens all the vital organs, brings brightness to the eye, a glow of healt.i to the cheek, anJ bracing strength to every part of the body. Mrs. Warren Wright, Una, Sask., says: "I feel that 1 owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that nothing I can say in their favor will fully repay. 1 was so reduced in health and strength that 1 was hardly able to walk at -all, and could do no work whatever. My blood was so thin and watery that my lips and finger tips resembled those of a corpse. I had aimoot con ta:it he..dac!ie-, and the smallest exertion would set my heart palpitating violently, and often I would drop in a faint. Nothing I did seemed to help nie in tlie least, and I felt to far gone tliat I never expected to recover my'health. I was in this critical condition when I read in a newspaper of a cure in a case like mine through the use of Dr Wil- Hams' Pink Pills and I decided to try them. I got a half dozen boxes and before I used them all there was a great change in my condition. My appetite returned, the color began to come back to my lip* and face, and my strength was increasing. I continued the use of the Pills for some time longer and they restored me to the pink' of perfect health. While using the Pills I pained twenty pounds in weight. My cure was made in tlic summer of 1909, and I am now enjoying bett.r health than ever before." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do for other weak and worn wom?n just what they did for Mrs. Wright, if they are given a fair trial.

Never were the ups and downs of a music-hall artist's life more pitifully illustrated than in'the case of Mme. Senia, at one time ,world:fam- ous as "the Witch of the Air," who has just died in an infirmary in London. ' In private life Mme. Senia was Mrs. Hall, and at the time of her death she was 69. In her time she was the famous tight-rope walker and trapeze artist. She was the central attraction of all the big circuses, and of her the theatrical boast of "appearing before the crowned heads of Europe and Asia" could he said with a large amount of truth, for she traveled extensively, and appeared in most of the big cities of the world. '' She performed before Queen Victoria, and also before King Edward and Queen Alexandra when they were Prince and Princess of Wales. As "Witch of the Air" she was known everywhere, and one of the late King's horses, it will be recalled, bore that name. Through no fault of her own, Mme. Senia lost all the money she had massed, and for the past 15 years has passed through most/ terrible vicissitudes. Those who knew her speak of her as a good woman, and commend highly her integrity and her zest for work. She-' sustained a very bad accident, and had to give up her work in the air, and from that time evil days fell thick upon her. Her later days were made brighter and happier by the unobstrusive generosity of Mrs. Lawrence and her daughter, Miss Vesta Victoria. It seems that .the little son of some people whose premises backed on to Albert-mews, near Clapham road, was in the habit of throwing away remains of food. And one day an old lady came up to him, begging that he should give it to her for her dogs. The little fellow did so, and he watched. He saw the old lady eat the be.-t part of the waste food, and it so touched him that he went to his mother and told her of the incident, praying her that each day he might give the old lady some food. This the little fellow did for many dnys. Then one day an old lady was discovered by a local green-grocer to be' lying stiff and almost frozen to death in a stable. He took her to his house, placed her before the fire, and gave her warm food. These facts came to the knowledge of Mrs. Lawrence and Miss Vesta Victoria, and they recognized that the old lady oi tlie mews and the stable was ,the famous tight-rope walker whose name once was a household word. -They discovered, too, that Mme. Senia for many years had earned a precarious living by taking performing dogs round "the streets. She had four beautiful dogs, who were passionately attached to her, and she saw that the animals had food even if she starved horse.] f- Both Miss Vesta Victoria and her mother were much touched by the stress of the old lady's circumstances, and they saw that she was cared for and wanted for nothing to the day of her death. The rent of her room and the rent of tlie stable for her dogs were paid for her. For the past month Mme. Senia had been lying ill at Lambeth Infirmary, and before she died she begged Mrs.- Lawrence to see that her faithful canine companions' should be destroyed, with the exception of one, and that one she asked Mrs. Lawrence to keep. "I cannot bear to think that they may not get a good home, and it is better they should be destroyed," she said. The dog retained by Mrs. Lawrence is Pigeon, a clever animal who can turn all sorts of somersaults. Afe Unwisely ?

Head of Burns Federation. \ A well-known Ayrshire man, Capt. David Sneddon, has died in Nyassa- land, South Africa, where he had gone big game shooting. The greater part of his life was spent in Kilmarnock, to which he went as an excise officer. He was afterwards officially identified with several of the largest liquor buxi. nosses in Scotland, and for some time he was president of the Licensed Trades Defence Association. At the time of his death he was president of the Burns Federation, of which ha was one of the founders.

A curious cock-fighting incident is reported from Clenullin, a remote district in County Derry, Ireland. Arrangements wore made for a tournament, and a large crowd attended from the surrounding towns. "Sport" was in full swing when a small force of police appeared on the scene. The crowd reasoned with the constables, and warned them not to be too officious, and then left for another spot. The police followed, and were compelled to sit down and watch the next three battles as spectators. Eventually reinforcements arrived, and after a small bat������*!e the crowd was dispersed, and some of the fighting bird owners arrested.- Fingers Betrayed Him. The use of finger prints as an aid to the detection of criminals was shown in a remarkable manner at Dublin, Ireland, recently, when a prisoner named Keegan was sentenced to five years' imprisonment for breaking into a church. On the broken window was found a finger mark, which was identified as the prisoner's in the habitual criminals' register department of Dublin Castle. The head of that department said that about 150,000 finger prints had passed through his hands- and. no two had ever been found alike. This system of identification had now superseded all other methods, and he believed it to bo ^infallible.

GEEENWOOD, BRITISH COLUMBIA. HE IS A BIG MAN.N BEEF AND DAIRY TYPES Prof, W. B. Richards, of tho North, Dakota Agncultuial colLge, speaks mtoie-jtingly relative to types of beef and dairy cattle. "Many fanners continue to raiso cattle lor maiket fur beef pmposes fiom stock that -do not possess any b.ood of the beef bieed, and consequently they lack what is known as the beef typo. It is impossible to pioduce beet economically fiom cattle of tho dany type, oi even fiom cattle that poosess any considerable amount of this blood. To produce an animal ot beef type it is neces&aiy to use the beef bieuls of c.ttie, such as the Shoi thorns, HerrJoids, Abeidocn- Angus and Galloways. Cattle of this bleeding put on flesh very much more lapidly and of a betcei quality. A beef animal could bo described in a geneial way as a low down compact blocky animal. He must have'a short blocky head, a wide breast, a deep wide chest, a broad neck, a good spring of ribs, heavy full thighs. He must have a' pliable mellow skin, for this quality indicates a good fleshing tendency. Tlie points that a cow should possess- if adapted to economical milk production are quite the opposite iroin what is seen in the beef animal. -The daiiy cow possesses a long face, thin- slender neck, a sharp projecting *- shoulder. She is not very wide in the chest, but her capacity of chest is due to her depth which is greater in proportion to' her size than you will , find in the beef animal. She possesses large barrels which indicates a good capacity for d gesting her food. Her'depth here should exceed her .depth in any other p.rt!o:i of the body. A dairy cow should have -a good width at the hips. Hor thighs should be lean and free from muscling. She should be open between her thighs. Much attention should be given the udder of the dairy cow���������a large udder ������s ; more winding and blanching they are the better the indication. The veins do not cany milk, as many think, but carry the blood from the udder to the body, and the more blood that passes through the udder the more milk thcie is produced bscause, the milk is produced from the blood. Census of Forest Products The census of the forest products of Canada, to be taken on 1st June, 1911, will embiace squaie, waney or flat timber, logs for lumber and miscellaneous pioducts. In the first class are included ash, , -, . . ,, birch, elm, maple, oak, pine and all A good dairy cow possesses lather other ilTnhet cut as square, waney oi thin pliablo elast c skin. A cou se, harsh handling skin is a poor indication. When cows possess these qualities of skin they are raiely good produceis of milk.

The Honorable Duncan Cameron Fiasor, Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, is, his numerous friends throughout Canada will be pained to learn, in poor health at the present time and, after consulting a -specialist in Montreal, has retired to the quiet of his" country^ home in Guys- boro, the county he represented in the Federal Parliament for many years. Governor Fraser is an ardent disciple of Izaak Walton. He likes to catch fish���������fresh water fish and salt water fish. ' ��������� D. C. Fraser is one of Pictou county's big men. He is big in. stature, big in heart, big in his convictions, and, if I may use the term, big in the affections of all Nova Scotians. A Liberal of .the old Bchool, a trenchant speaker, an indefatigable canvasser, a ready fighter, he has, nevertheless, won the love of hia strongest political opponents and they will rejoice to see him return to Government House possessing all hia old-time vigor and-geniality. D. C. Fraser is a lawyer by profession, a Presbyterian by religion, and was, when in politics, a Grit He was a member of the Supreme Court Bench for a short time, resigning that honorable position to accept the more congenial and less arduous one of lieutenant-governor. The latter position he fills with dignity and tact. As an aftei dinner speaker, Governor Fraser has no equal in Nova Scotia, and as a piesiding officer at important functions he has few peeis. He is broad and liberal in his views, and is a*valiant champion of the right of every man to his own opinion. In his younger days���������the early days of his legal and political career ���������D. C. Fraser was' an ardent upholder of tho doctrine of moral suasion. He, believed in moral suasion���������he preached moral suasion and he practiced moral suasion, and throughout , the countryside was known as "Duncan Suasion." In the cause of temperance reform, he wielded quite an influence, and it was here he found vent for the doctrine so near.his heart. "Making men sober by moral suasion is almost unknown now. ��������� The law is supposed to be the cure all. D. C. Fraser is prominent in the courts of his church. His experience has been all the way over the road from singing in James Church choir to taking an active part in the debates of the General Assembly.

Canadian Surgeon Honored. . Dr. Alexander Hugh Ferguson, one of tlie best known of Chicago's physicians, and a popular ex-Canadian, was recently elected president of the Chicago Medical Society in a most keenly contested 'election. Dr. Ferguson is a native of Manilla, Ont., where he was born in 1853. He was educated at Rockwood Academy and Manitoba College, and began his medical studies under Dr. John H. O'Don- nell at Winnipeg, in 1877. He took a course in the medical * college of Trinity University, becoming honor graduate, M.D., CM., of Trinity University. He spent part of'his time, soon after his graduation, in visiting "various American hospitals and in taking a special course at Koch's laboratory, Berlin. He entered' upon the practice of his profession at Buffalo, N.Y., in 1881, but soon after returned to Winnipeg, where he practiced until 1894. at the same time being largely instrumental in founding Manitoba Medical College,.and was chosen first president of the Manitoba Branch of the British Medical Association. Since 1894 he has been an eminent member of the medical profession in Chicago. He was induced to go there as professor of surgery in the Post-Graduate Medical School, and in 1900 was elected to the position he now holds as professor of clinical surgery in the College" of Physicians and Surgeons, the medical department of the Illinois State University. Dr. Ferguson wa3 notified not long ago that he had been awarded a comA.andership in the Order of Christ of Portugal, the highest decoration that King Carlos of that country can bestow on any one outside of royalty. A Careful Lover. A Canadian farmer living near Toronto, is fortunate enough to possess a hired man from Scotland who is sober, honest and industrious. The latter recently confided to his employer the fact of his attachment to a lassie who is earning her own living in one of the city shops. "Jessie's a fine young woman," said the canny Scot. "Sho doesua expec' me to spend much money on fulish- ncss. If you will believe mo, I've been courtin' Jessie for two years and all that timo I've spent but a dollar and a half on the lassie. Eh, but she's a sensible girl!" Not many comic operas or boxes of chocolates, to say nothing of a lavish display of violets, could have come out of that extremely moderate expenditure. Thrilling Hunt Without Rifles In tru Porcupine. Little imagination is required to as- -sociate Cobalt with stirring deeds of adventure, and the word restriction is one that would seem to have lost its bearing when applied to such a place. Yet restrictions there are, and of a rather peculiar sort, when the nature of the place is considered. According to the game laws, prospectors are forbidden to carry weapons. Now, the Cobalt district might almost be described as a place where emergency is the rule, so that the restriction i������ a scuous one, and not only in regard to the danger to life, but in regard to the cost of living, because, in spite of the fact that moose and other game animals are plentiful, the "protection" of them raises tho price of meat materially. Some entertaining stories are told of tlie unexpected and umvelcome visits of Mr. Bruin to the prospectors' camps. On one occasion recently he mado a nocturnal call upon the preserve of George Grogan and his partner in the Porcupine, and literally clean up the grub supply. The partner was despatched for more provisions, and while Grogan was in sole charge of the fort the bear repeated his complimentary visit. Giving up all thought of a romantic death, George hastily got the pack sacks together and spent 'the remainder of the night in tho canoe in midstream. S-uch an undignified Tetreat would, ol course, liavo been quite unnecessary had Grogan been provided with a rifle and the right to use it. A -party of three, including a Frenchman, engaged upon assessment work had a similar experience while camping. The distance of the camp to the place where they were operating was about a mile. They were in the habit of taking their grub with them, but one day they took a chance. It proved fatal, for in their absence Mr. Bruin called and swept the board. A pot of rice left hanging over the fire was included in the feast. On the day following this clearance two of the party were sent for provisions to Gowganda, , bringing back with them thirty pounds of bacon and a largo quantity of other foodstuffs. At nightfall all the goods were hung up in a tree and believed by their trustees to be in a safcplace. However, Bruin landed it all right and demolished every scrap of it.. Stimulated by. his success the bear would call almost nightly, and the Frenchman beosoie .' so frightened.-that he would not go to bed, but used,to sit up all night. The party always kept a fuse-and cap ready for bruin when lie put his head in through the flap of the tent. Recognizing that such a state of affairs could not continue, a plan was devised to rid themselves of the unsolicited attentions of Mr. Bruin. Felling a heavy pole they attached a noose to it in the form of a snare, and after adding a piece of meat to it they felt that the victory was theirs. Partial success was awarded the first attempt. Mr. Bruin injudiciously placed his paw in the noose, but with wonderful woodcraft he climbed a. cedar and was able to release his pinioned limb even while his enemies were trying vainly to belabor him with an axe. After this failure the party removed the cedar and prepared for real war. They carefully spliced the handle of a huge carving knife on a pole and made up their minds that the torment must cease. Failing to regard his lesson, Bruin came again and got entangled in the snare. Once the party got him sus- ������������������������������������ended tlie work of execution was divided. While one attended io the pole another got the bear to elevate his forepaws and box, and another did desperate work under the belt with the knife. The bear was literally hacked to pieces, but .the fight was a long one, the bear being game to the core. He was so weakened, however, that the man with the knife was at length able to reach the heart. Needless to say, bruin was skinned arid eaten, and so atoned in a very personal way for his misdeeds. : Such encounters, while -they may appeal'to the venturesome, are not to;the prospectors' liking, and it does seem only reasonable that the men should be allowed to protect themselves against any such risks when out .prospecting. Big game is plentiful, and if taken without undue wast* should bo alowed the men in the woods. Jerusalem. - Canadian Missionary Tells of Habits of the Kachins. Full of interest is tlie story of a Canadian missionary's work among the Nat worshippers of Burma as told by Rev. F. J Ingram of Broekville, Ont., who is returning to Canada by way of London, after seven years spent among the Kachins, a warlike tribe who live near the Chinese frontier, says Alex. Pringle, ^writing from London to The Toronto World. Thij race has no written language; tha people are very poor and according to their belief are afflicted by evil spirits, The reasons they give for this trinity of misfortunes are very amusing Nat (spirit) worship forms the total sum of a Kachin's life and tins bad luck race attribute every unfortunato happening to the baneful influence of the spirit. When a misfortune small or great happens to a Kachin it is'to him a sign that the Nats aie displeased with him and that sacrifice is necessary to avert further disaster. He immediately goes,to a priest who decides- what must be done to appease the wrathful spirit. The propitiation usually is the sacrifice of a bullock or buffalo. The animal is sacrificed and after a weird ceremony is carved up; the priest takes the best portion** distributing to the people what remains, Teaching a new religion to people like these mu������t be very difficult, It is hard for most of us to divorce ourselves from early training" and consequent prejudices and to adjust our minds in a fair attitude to new conditions. And the inability to adapt themselves to a new teaching is made more difficult to the Kachins by reason of the length of tenure of" their old belief, and tlie hard task of, a missionary can b'e well understood when the reasons which the Kachins give for the present unfortunate condition of the race, are related. The tradition is this: When the creation of the world was finished the Great Creator summoned the four races to appear before him. ���������The Kachins, Shans, Chinese and Bur- mans answered the summons and the chief of each race received a book of laws which contained their language and a solution to every possible problem of life. The book was written on leather. y The tribes dispersed. On the way home the Kachins grew very hungry and no food being available they cooked'the leather book and ate it. Shortly after the Creator again commanded the races to appear before him. Now the three other races had not destroyed their books and by referring to them found that the Creator intended to distribute great wealth. So they made big baskets in which to receive the tokens of good will. The "Kachins did not take any baskets. The distribution was made and the Kachins having nothing in which to carry away the gifts went home empty handed. A third order was issued. Experience had taught the Kachins, they thought a further distribution of wealth was to be made. They made large hampers and every man went joyfully to the meeting place. Not so with the other races.. They, learned from the books that evil spirits were on the program. They went few in number and without baskets. Of course the Kachins received all the evil spirits. This did not end their misfortunes.. Evil spirits are all right if they can be kept in a closed hamper. But, the journey w;as long; the loads were heavy -and frequent rests were necessary on the homeward journey. At each resting place they deposited a few Nats to lighten their load and this is. the reason that their whole world is inhabited by evil spirits. Mr. Ingram's house was six days' journey from the nearest point of civilization. Sometimes for six months he would not see a white face. His nearest ."neighbors" were two Canadians engaged in the same work, Dr. Harper of Woodstock and Dr. Kelly oi Toronto. \l PAIN FOR YEAR "FRUIT-A-TIVES" BRJNGS BELIEF* -���������������.!*���������" MRS.

Twenty-five cents buys 2 lbs. of steak In St. Hyacinthe, Que., 11-4 lbs. in Toronto, and only 1 lb. in Vancouver, according to a tsble showing beef prices in May, compiled by the Labor Department at Ottawa. Generally speaking the further west you go, or the bigger the city, the higher the price of beefsteak. There are decided exceptions, however. For instance, in Glace Bay, N.S.,- beefsteak was 22c. as against 15c. at Westville, N.S. Halifax folks paid 24c. for their steak as against 22c. paid by the people of St. John, N.B. Unless there is some error in figures, or some clear difference , in quality in different places, the anomalies shown by the table mean rank injustice which the people affected should inquire into. For instance, why should beefsteak be sold in Edmonton at:15c. in Calgary at 20c, and in Re- gina at 25c? Or, why should Toron- tonifins_pay 20c to 22c.while Hamil- tonians'get off with 16c to 18c? Or, why should St. Thomas folks be charged 22c while Londoners, just next door, pay ISc.? Perhaps the worst case of all is 18c. per lb. in New Westminster, B.C., and in Vancouver, at the other end of the.trolley line, 25c, which is within a fraction of 40 per cent, jnore.' The next lowest price to St. Hyacinthe is at Charlbttetown, P.E.I., whose fortunate citizens breakfast on steak at 14c per lb. Fourteen places are reported as paying 20c. for beefsteak in May. These places are mainly the larger cities, including Toronto and Montreal. Locality seems to make little difference, for, besides the central places named,'this twenty- cent list includes such widely separated places as Moncton, N.B., and Victoria, B.C.
