The Whip Tree.  In the island of Juninicn grows a  tree with the botanic name Daphne  lugetto from the brunches of which  native workmen make peculiarly  strong and excellent whips, which  have the handle nnd lush all of a  piece. The handle consists of a part  of the stem retaining the bark. For  the lash the stem is deprived of bark  and then split* into strips, which are  woven together in a flexible cord six  or' seven leet in length. -The proper  taper is afforded by detaching more  and more of the strips as the end of  the lush is approached..  POPULAR WESTERN SENATOR.  Hon. J. N. Kirchhoffcr an Important  Factor In the Upper Chamber.  Hon. John N. Kirchhoffcr, the popular member for the Upper House from  the Prairie Province, is of Irish birth  and was 'born in the County of Cork  May 5, 1843, being the son of the  rector of Ballycourney. He -was educated at Marlborough College and  subsequently came to 'Canada nnd  settled at Port Hope, Avhefe he studied  law with his uncle',, Nesbitt Kirchhof-  fer, K.C. He completed his legal  studies in Toronto and was called to  the Ontario Bar in 1871. He practiced  liis profession at Port Hope until  1883, when, Avith a number of othpr  ambitious young men, he moved wesj  to Manitoba. He located there the  Plum Creek settlement, comprising  some 400 sturdy settlers from Ontario  and Ireland. He was called to the  Manitoba Bar in 1884, but continued  to live in the settlement for three  years, until he shav it successfully  established. He first practiced law at  Souris and in 1890 he moved to Brandon. He was reeve and mayor of  Souris and member of the Western  Judicial Board, of which he subsequently became chairman. He sat in  the Manitoba Legislature during the  important formative years between  '188G and 1888 and was called to Ihe  Senate in 1802. In the Upper Cham-  her his great administrative ability  and wide knowledge Avere at once  recognized and he became nn important factor in that body. Kor  many years he was chairman of the  Internal Economy Committee and  chairman, also, of the Divorce Committee for a considerable period, and  in the session of 1900 he had charge  of the Canadian Northern Railway  '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdills. In 1880 lie was appointed malinger of the Manitoba branch of the  Imperial Loan and Investment Co.  and has. placed for that institution  large sums of money in the Prairie  Province. He is district manager ,of  the lands department of the Hudson  Bay Co., district manager of thf  C.P.R. lands department, solicitor lor  the Bank of Hamilton and director of  the Gold Crown Mining Co. operating  in British Columbia, and for many  years he has been director of the  Western Manitoba Agricultural Society.  As a sportsman Senator Kirchhoffcr  has an international reputation and  for many years he was very actively  identified with athletic life \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd of the  Dominion, being captain of the Canadian cricket team which successfully  competed in fhe international series  of games with England, Australian  and American teams, and he was for  several years captain of the Canadian  football team in international contests of note. On Lake Manitoba he  possesses one of the finest and most  celebrated shooting lodges in the  world for duck, geese and water fowl  of all sorts and at this hunting  ground the Prince of Wales was his  guest in 1901 for a couple of days in  October. Various governors-general  and' celebrated sportsmen from nil  parts of the world have visited York  Lodge, and have been most enthusiastic in its praise. The j,odge controls  a marsh five or six miles in length  and tlie royal party, consisting of the  Prince of Wales, Prince Alexander of  'Feck, Lord Minto, the Duke of Rox-  hurghe, Lord Crichton, Lord Wenlock,  Sir Charles Cust and Major Maude,  bagged C03 ducks in two days. In  the capital the .Senator and Mrs.  Kirchhoffer are A-ery popular in social  circles. When a young man he took  nn active interest in the militia. Flo  took part in (he suppression of the  Fenian raid and avus captain for a  time of the Forty-sixth  Battalion.  A Newspaper Man.  There is at present a dignified Toronto newspaper man, who in his  younger days held down assignments  on a Montreal daily. As a writer ol  scare yarns for the edification of the  American public he Avas never matched in this country, save perhaps by  the Winnipeg liar, to whom I have  referred on previous occasions.  At the time, iioav twenty years or so  ago, Avhen the insane asylum at  Longue Point, some miles beloAv Montreal, took fire and burned with some  loss of life, this unique fabricator  scut to the New York papers a story  that would have pressed either Un  Rougemont or Baron Munchausen for  first honors.  Among other things, this sprightly  correspondent told, with wealth of de  tail, Iioav the Indians had gathered  in from the neighboring sAvamp** and  had captured and run off with these  insane creatures; and how afterwards,  hidden in their lairs, these savage**  had feasted upon their captives.  Looking back from these days, when  many of the great American newspapers keep at Ottawa special correspondents, and when special writers for  British journals-are to be encountered in every block, it is hard to believe  that such \"dense ignorance of a country lying next door could actually  exist.  So it can be seen that there are  others beside Cook who deserve honorable mention in the Ananias Club.  Our Way.

May's   Probable   Successor   Is   Well-  Known   and  Popular   In Canada.   '  Reports   from   England   state   that  Admiral Sir W. H. May, ono of the  most eminent officers of the  British  navy will relinquish his post as chief  in'command of the Home Fleet, and  that his successor will'probably be a  sailor   agreeably   known   to   Canadians,   Prince   Louis   of   Ba'ttenberg.  He has indeed been personally known  to Canadians for more'than a generation.   As a young man in,the seventies being then a younger scion    of  an impoverished German principality  he had a project of marrying and t >t-  tling down in Toronto.   Thirty years  later he came back and spent* a real-  happy holiday among old friends at  Quebec,  Montreal  and- Toronto   and  incidentally   touched   the   button   at  the opening of the Canadian National  Exhibition.    It  is  said   that  he  ha3  not benefited in the least in his career, in  the, navy  through   his   relationship to the royal family.   Indeed  it is  not too much to say that the  reverse has been the case.    Had  he  possessed  another  and   less  German  name   there   is   no   doubt   that   he  would  have  been  First Sea  Lord   of  the   Admiralty  before  to-day.'   Years  ago he wus passed over for command  after command for wliich he .was eminently fitted in every way owing to  the   German \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd atmosphere; that   surrounds his name.   If he succeeds Admiral Sir W. H. May in the Home  Fleet tliere will no doubt he some outcry raised, says Modern Society, but  as a matter of fact the prince is thoroughly British in his sentiments and  aspirations, otherwise he would have  accepted the throne of Bulgaria when  it  was  offered  to  him several  years,  ago.   He is one of the most popular  men  in the  royal  navy to-day.   Not  only is he noted for the possession of  all   those kindlinesses  of heart  and  tender delicacies of feeling which endear him to all who serve under him,  but hi*, natural sense of justice is so  true,   and   his   administration   is   so  lenient, and tempered with so full' a  consideration  of all  extenuating circumstances, that if the prince says a  thing has to be done that is all the  men  want to know.    And it has always  been so, ever since he  was  a  midshipman,\" when   his   \"command\"  consisted of a boat's crew ashore. He  is said to have never lost <* man on  these  occasions.    With  all,  he  is   a  strict disciplinarian\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnone more strict  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbut not through  fear,  and is perhaps  the best  and  most  thoroughly  up-to-date officer  in  the  royal   navy  to-day.    Everything   new   in  science,  so far as'it affects his profession, he  has at his finger ends.    His knowledge of mechanics is .that of a skilled  expert, and  many of his  inventions  and improvements are in daily_u.se in  the navy at the present moment.   His  modesty is as great as his ability.   In  every way he is a \"good\" man\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthat  is what the sailors call him.  SORE FEET AND CHAFED  PLACES.  \"Zam-Buk\" is best for chafed  places , sore feet, or inflamed patches,  caused by friction. For babies' sensitive skins it is especially adapted,  because it is of pure herbal composition. Don't apply .to the delicate  skin of your children, either 'for cuts  sores or skin diseases, the crude  salves made up from rancid, animal  oils or fats, with mineral coloring and  scented matter to hide their .unpleasant appearance and odor! Remember  that whatever gets into the pores, gets  into the blood. Stick to nature, and  pure natural products. . Zarn-Buk is  nature's own healer, and is, therefore  not only superior in purity, but also,  in strength. Cures where other  things  fail.    Use  it,   also,   for piles,  A SALT ENCRUSTED M0RAS&  desert  of  Which   Arabs  of Southern  Tunis Stand   In Terror.

Down in Ottawa Parliamentary banquets come as often as a shower in  April.   Nearly every day an item appears in the society columns that Mr.  'So and So gave \"a jolly dinner last  night.\"    At most of   these  functions  it is customary to have wines included on the menu, but not always. Hon.  William   Paterson,   Minister  of, Customs, was once host at what he was  proud to call a \"dry\" banquet.   Ginger ale  constituted the sole line of  refreshments,   oi    was    supposed * to.-  Not a few of the guests felt that they  could   not do  justice   to   the   dinner  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwithout   something  a   trifle   stronger  than ginger ale, so they entered into  a conspiracy with the waiters at' the  cafe  to  have  their   favorite   brands  smuggled to the table with all the approved methods of those conscienceless travelers  who  manage  to  evade  the customs duties which the collectors under the Minister of thejCrown  are paid to levy.  The waiters received special instructions to serve Scotch and soda to certain guests, but not to use anything  but ginger ale bottles, previously tampered with, of course.  The plan worked to perfection, and  the dinner was one of the jolliest of  the jolly. In fact, it has passed into  the annals of Parliamentary entertainment as a record-breaker for merriment, but the climax was reached  at an early hour in the morning when  Hon. Mr. Paterson, in rising just before the time came to sing \"Auld  Lang Syne,\" took occasion to remark:  \"I am delighted that we have all had  such an enjoyable time with nothing  stronger than ginger ale, and it only  goes to show what remarkable advances the temperance cause is making in this country.\"  An Irishman, more patriotic than  clever, enlisted in a dragoon regiment  with the intention of becoming a gallant soldier.

Recently  on visiting the hut after one of these  travellers had left, he found that a  portion of the loaf had been consumed  and a penny left. A scrap of dirty  paper under the latter set forth that  the copper was \"for a penn'orth of  cheese for the next bloke.\"  Every begins.' As far as eye can see it is a  dead white plain of saltpetre and  magnesium crystals, without a vestige  of vegetation.  The silence is appalling. No birds,  no snakes, not \"even a fly, or a mosquito is to be .seen. There is a narrow pathway through the marsh, and  natives have ramined in wooden posts  here and there as warnings against  specially dangerous places. These  stick out of the glittering surface like  masts of sunken wrecks.  The salt mud is a moving mass  which continuously 'throws up to the  surface what it has i swallowed up.  Skeletons of men and beasts of burden, bleached as white as snow -by  the action of the* salts, lie strewn  about.  '\"Ihe glittering salt particles which  soon covered us.\" Mine.

When a drunkard among the -Nas-  caupee Indians was found frozen to  death recently on their Canadian reservation, tbe other members of the  tribe made up a jury for an inquest,  as they had seen their white neighbors do   and brought in this verdict:  \"The deceased came to his death  from the freezing of a great quantity  of water inside him, which, they were  of the opinion, he had drunk for  rum.\"  _ These. Indians are the most primitive tribe now in existence and live  as their fathers did for untold generations. When conversing they either  shout or adopt a petulant, whining  tone which would lead one to imagine that they are quarreling violently, where as they are only discussing some trivial topic in the most  peaceful way.  Marriage with them is simply a  consent to live together. If the girl  is willing, so much the better; if not-  provided her parents agree \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd she ia  dragged off forcibly to the wigwam  of her future husband.

Yeats, the \"Celtic Charles Lamb,\" as  he has been termed. Mr. Yeats, who  first studied v. !h a view to becoming  an artist, began writing at twenty-  ono. Now he is forty-five, and during the last twenty-five years has  earned the reputation of living in a  fairy world of his own. He certninly  holds some very peculiar notions, and  tells uncanny tales.  The lack of sufficient red,  health-  giving blood doesn't end merely in a  pale  complexion.    It  is   much   more  serious.    Bloodless    people    are    the  tired,  languid,    run    down folk who  never have a bit of enjoyment in life.  Food does not nourish, there's   indigestion,   heart   palpitation,  headache,  backache, sometimes fainting fits and  always nervousness.   If   anaemia   or  bloodlessness be neglected too long a  decline is sure to follow.   Just a little more blood cures all  these  troubles.   Just more rich, red blood; then  abounding health  and    vitality    and  pleasure in life.    To get more blood  the remedy   is   Dr. Williams'    Pink  Pills.   No other    medicine   increases  the blood supply  so quickly    or   so  surely.   The cure actually begins with  the first dose, though naturally it is  not noticeable.    This  is  not  a meie  claim.   Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have  been doing this over and over again ]  in  Canada for years.    This.is     why I  thousands  of people  always have  a  good  word   to  say   about  this   medicine.   The following is the experience  of one of the many who praise this  medicine.    Mrs.    J.    J.    Thibodeau,  Bathurst   Village,   N.B.   says:   \"Some  years ago while teaching school I became so run down that I could hardly walk.   My breath was short and I  had  failed in  weight and lost color.  1  had  to  rest several   times  on  my  way  to school    and    during    school  hours   it    took    more    than   all  my  strength to fulfil my duty.   My doctor  advised  me  to  give  up  teaching  and take a long rest.   But at this time  a friend persuaded me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I got six boxes.  I hadn't finished the first box when I  felt a little better and by the time I  had used the six boxes I was fully recovered  and   enjoying    the    best  of  health.   At a later date I was troubled  with  eczema   and  my faith  in  Pink Pills led me to try them again,  and  I  was not disappointed, as they  cured  this    trouble    also.     I    can't  praise  Dr.  Williams'  Pink  Pills  too  much for they have done me a power  of good.\"  Dr.  Williams'  Pink  Pills are  sold  by all medicine dealers or will be sent,  by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes.'  for .-?2 50 by The Dr. Williams' Medi-|  cine Co., Brockville, Out.  Our System of Notation.  Some system of notation has been  used    since   time    out   of   memory.  The first record we have of it  is of  figures written with a stick on a flat  surface   covered   with   sand.    Before  that all calculations were made with  pebbles,   beans  and  the  like.    Even  now the Chinese do their calculating  with   little   stones   or   beads   strung  on wires, in a frame.    The Romans  first used vertical lines\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI, II, III, etc.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto   express  numbers.    The   Arabic  figures,  which  we  commonly  use  at  the present time, are of much earlier  date.      The Arabic system is chiefly  valuable on account of the great convenience it affords by giving a figure  a value according to the place :it occupies  in  the line.    By this system  the most enormous sums can be expressed   by  the  ten  little  characters  which form the numerical alphabet.  Laporte and the Young King.  When Louis XIV. was only eight  years old his love for* wrestling and  other boyish sports gave many uneasy moments to one Laporte, liis attendant. On one such occasion he insisted, despite all entreaties, in rolling about the floor endeavoring to  overcome his cousin, the Count of  Artois. Laporte calmly put on his hat  and sat down. Louis, jealous even  at that age of his kingly dignity, at  once  demanded:  \"How can you permit yourself to  sit and remain covered in the presence of your king?\"  \"Pardon me, sire,\" retorted Laporte,  \"but I did not think that a king was  in the room.\"  beth's generals.

She sank  in little over an hour, but the crew  were\"   rescued    by    the    Hartlepool!  trawler,    Loch    Barry.    During   tha  storm the water rose rapidly and extinguished    the    engine-room    fires.'.  Flares were burnt, and in their despair the crew burnt their beds.
