See tho point?\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdCreston Review.\nDishonest Practises.\nAn instance of the dishonest practises\nthat bid fair to Spoil the prairie market\nfor British Columbia fruit of the best\nquality, as well as giving the province\n\ufffd\ufffd \"black eye\" with those who aro not in\na position to know better, was exhibited\nduring the fair. It was provided by a\nwell-known resident cf this town, who\npurchased the specimens in Calgary\nthrough tlie usual retail channels.\nThe fruit, in question is a box of apples, Spitsbergen in variety, that were\npurchased aa No. 1 at a cost of $1,60.\nNa shippers' marks appear on the box,\nand all that is stamped on it ia thc name\nand address of the tellers, and \"Grade\nNo\". 1.\" According to the standard by\nwhich the local exchange, in common\nwith the rest of the province, is grading\nand packing, this box could only be\nsold as cooking, and when compared\nwith a box of local No. I's the contents\nof the box under notice is a scrubby\nlooking lot. The apples are small, badly soabbad, poor color, and in soft condition\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdin fact, only of cooking grade.\nThia ia not tho end of tlie question,\nhowever, for this fiuit was Bold aa British Columbia product, and upon enquiry\nit seems conclusive that it is the Calgary firm that ie responsible for the deception, as this Bhipnieiit was consigned\nfrom Washington as ''Cookers.\" It is\nunderstood that this practise is pretty\ngeneral throughout the Northwest and\nthe firm in question was one that ad-\nyiaed our local exchange that ita price\nwas too high. One does not wonder at\nit when the facts are known. It is\nemail wonder that the price offered for\nour No. 1 is smaller than last year, and\nthat one reads thut the Americans have\ncaptured the prairie market, if this ia\nihe diahone-t way that the retailers are\nconducting business. It aleo seems to\nexplain an article that recently appeared in tlie Kelowna Courier, calling\natteniion to the way in which shipments\nof Washington fruit were demoralizing\nthe market. Onlv by the connivance of\ncommission and retail houses conld\nsuch fruit spoil the market for the best\nquality, and on the face of it it looks to\nbe a deliberate scheme.\nHere is a matter wliich, we think\nshould be inquired into by the Dominion\nfruit inspector, and if the facta are found\nto be as represented above, and we have\nno doubt to the contrary, then the retailers of such fruit, who sold American\nculls as British Columbia No. I's, should\nbe dealt with to the utmost rigor of the\nlaw.\nGrowers all over the province will\nlearn of thia fraud with justifiable indignation, as local men have done, and\nwill demand an enquiry into the same\nby the authorities. It is most unfair\nthat such a fraud should be allowed\nwhen the Government has brought\n?\t\nsuch great pressure to bear upon home\ngrowers for the pnrp.st of raising tlie\nfruit standard. A lai ;e proportion of\nthe calls that this Exchange is\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdreturning to tlie growers to be sold on the local market at 50 cents t*. box or fed to\nthe pigs, are better value than the box\nunder notice.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdSalmon Arm Observer.\nConservative Victory Assured.\nAll signs point to the defeat of the\nLaurier government nnd a sweeping\nConservative victory at the elections\ntliis month.\nReversals such as tliesi are the most\nhopeful and wholesome features of oui\npolitical ry=tom. They sweeten government and cleanse it i-f those sinister\nforces that would degrade it into the\nmeanB of thwarting the'will of the people, Good citizens may rejoice in the\nenlightenment and independence ol\npublic opinion without which they are\nnot possible.\nFrom every side there comes the\nmost positive assurance of ail overwhelming sentiment against the misrule at Ottawa.\nMr. Borden's tour has been a veritable\ntriumph, while the presence on his platform of representatives of the Provincial\nGovernments of New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba and Biiiish Columbia,\nhave emphasized the national character\nof the protest against tlie inefficiency,\nextravagence and dangerous methods of\nthe Liberal Ministry.\nMr, Brodeur has admitted at Soulan-\ngea that tlio election of leu Conservatives in O.uebcc would mean the defeat\nof the Government. Mr. Borden bad\neleven supporters from that province in\ntlie last parliament, and a Conservative\ngain of from ten to fifteen seats is confidently expected. The secession of the\nNationalist party from tbe Liberal\nranks at thia election, the appearance\nof Ml*, Bourassa's' name on tbe nomination paper of the Btraigbt Conservative\ncandidate and tlio personnel of the Conservative candidates are conclusive\nsigns that the younger men of bis race\nand religion are not satisfied with Sir\nWilfrid Laurier. Members of Mr. Borden's party are assured of an awakening\nin Quebec beyond their best expectations.\nMr. Borden's promise ot restitution\nto the country of all tbat has been taken\nfrom it and the prospective loss of their\napoiie in graft and deals havo driven\nthe boodlers and grafterB to the worst\nextremity of their craft. The friends of\ngood government in the West must be\non the alert until tbe last good vote ia\npolled.\nThe p'resent Ottawa regime will die\njust as burely as tbe Life Insurance\nagent saya that you will.\nLaurier himself says that lie ia prepared to sing the \"Nunc Dimittis.\"\nIncrease of Debt.\nThe government organs are publishing comparative ttatcments showing\nthat the national debt lias increased\nonly one and a half million a year since\nthe Liberal, took office. This is an old\nstory. Why not bring the statements\ndown to date ? What is the good of\nsaying that tho debt increased only\n|19,000,UOO in twelve years down to\n190S, when it has increased $27,000,000\nlast year? The increase of August alone\nwas $3,253,(101\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand the debt ia growing\nsteadily at the rata of three to four\nmillions a month.

A., Commerce, and\nMontreal, as If by a signal from some\ntin god, withdrew their ads. from thia\npapdr, evidently, as far as we can learn\nand divine, becau o something has been\naaid in its columns in favor of tlie men\nwho work, slave and sweat in order that\ndistant millionaires may have money to\nthrow at tlie canaries, and cushions upon their automobiles.

Tlio\nskin Is hard nnd coarse, rough, scale*\nleaa and covered with flat spines, the\nentire skin covered with a thick coating of allmc, which appears to bo a\nworld in Itself for numerous parasites\nwhich prey upon the fish.\nThis extraordinary fish is one of the\nfew fishes of little or no use to man.\n\"I am of the opinion,\" snys a naturalist, \"that the hard skin might be\nutilized.

The three men unhooked the ladder aud swung themselves down by i\nrope, while two Indians who held the\npaddles pushed silently off from the\nf-liip's side and shot swiftly up the\nstream. A minute Inter a dim loom\nbehind them and the glimmer of two\nyellow lights were all that they could\nsee of the St. Christophe.\n\"Take a paddle, Amos, and I'll take\noi.e,\" said Captain Savage, stripping\noff his monk's gown. \"I felt safer in\nthis on the deck of yon ship, but It\ndon't help ln a boat.\"\n\"I hope, madame, that all Is well\nwith you,\" said Amos.\n\"Nay, I can hardly understand what\nhas happened or where we are.\"\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'Nor can I, Amos.\"\n\"Did you not expect us to come back\nfor you, then?\"\n\"I did uot kuow what to expect.\"\n\"Well, now, surely you could not\nthink that we would leave you without\na word.\"\n\"I confess that I was cut to the\nheart by It.\"\n\"I feared that you were when I\nlooked at you with the tail of my eye\nand saw you staring so blackly over\nthe bulwarks at us.

Virgin woods in\ntbelr wonderful many colored autumn\ndress flowed right down to the river's\nedge on either side, and ln the center\nwas a little Island.\n\"I've passed here before,\" said De\nCatlnat. \"I remember marking that\ngreat maple with the blaze on its trunk\nwhen last I went with the governor to\nMontreal. That was In Frontenac's\nday, when the king was first and the\nbishop second.\"\nThe redskins, who had sat like terra\ncotta figures, without a trace of expression upon their set, hard faces,\npricked up their ears at the sound of\nthat name.\n\"My brother has spoken of the great\nOnontio,\" said one of them, glancing\nround. \"We have listened to the whistling of evil birds who tell us that he\nwill never come back.\"\n\"He is with the great white father,\"\nanswered De Catiuat. \"I have myself\nseen him In his council, and he will assuredly come across the great water if\nhis people have need of him.\"\nTho Indian shook his shaven head.\n\"The rutting month is past, my brother,\" said he, speaking in broken French,\n\"but ere the month of the bird laying\nhas come there will be no white man\nupon thia river save only behind stone\nwalls.\"\n\"What then? We have heard little.\nHave the Iroquois broken out so fiercely?\"\nThe Indian waved his hand along the\nwhole southern and western horizon.\n\"Where are they not? The woods are\nrustling with them, They are like a\nlire among dry grass, so swift and so\nterrible.\"\n\"On my life,\" said De Catinat, \"If\nthose devils nro indeed unchained they\nwill need old Frontenac back if they\nare not to lie swept into the river.\"\n\"IIo wns an enemy 01' the church, and\nthe right hand of lhe foul fiend in this\ncountry,\" snid a voice from the bottom\nof the canoe.\nIt wns lhe frinr, who had succeeded\nUi getting rid of the buckskin glove\naud belt with which the two Americans\nhad gagged him.\n\"Why should we tnke hlm farther?\"\nasked AmoV \"He Is but weight for\nus to carry, and I cannot see that we\nprofit by hia company. Let us put hlm\nout.\"\n\"And have him maybe ln front of ua,\nwarning the black-jackets,\" said old\nEphraim.\n\"On that island, then.\"\n\"Very guod. He cau hail the first of\nhis folk who pnss.\"\nThey shot over to the Island and\nlanded the friar, who said nothing, but\ncursed them with his eye. They left\nwith him a small supply of biscuit and\nof flour to last hlm until he should be\npicked up, Then, having passed n\nbend in the river, they ran their canoe\nashore in a little cove, where tliey laid\nout their small stock of provisions and\nate n hearty breakfast while discussing\nwhat their plana should be for the future.\nTliey wore not badly provided for their\njourney. Tho captain of the Gloucester brig hi which the Americans had\nstarted from Quebec know Ephralm\nSavage well, as who did not upon the\nNow England coast? He had accepted\nhis bill, therefore, nt three months'\ndate, aud he had leUiiui have in return\nthree excellent gutin. n good supply of\naiiu_,u,_j:i__i and enough uiuuex to.dxo*\n\\*iae ror an *ns\"wanTs. in Tnrs way\"he\nhad hired the canoe and the Indians\nand bad fitted her with meat aud biscuit to last them for ten days at tb*\ufffd\ufffd\nleast.\n\"It's like the breath of life to me to\n'eel the heft of a gun and to smell the\n::ees round me,\" said Amos. \"Why,\nit cannot be more than a hundred\nleagues from here to Albany or Schenectady right through the forest.\"\n\"Aye, lad, but how is the gal to walk\na hundred leagues through a forest'\/\nNo, no; let us keep water under our\nkeel and loan on the Lord.\"\n\"Then there is ouly one way for It.\nWe must make tbe Richelieu river ami\nkeep right along to Lake Chnmplaln\nand Lake St. Sacrement. There we\nshould be close by the headwaters of\nthe Hudson.\"\n\"It is a dangerous road,\" said De\nCatinat, who understood the conversation of his companions even when he\nwas unable to join in it. \"We should\nneed to skirt the country of the Mohawks.\"\n\"It ls the only one, I guess. It is\nthat or nothing.\"\n\"And I have a friend upon the Richelieu river who, I am sure, would help\nus on our way,\" said De Catinat, with\na smile. \"You have heard me talk of\nCharles de la Noue, Seigneur de Ste.\nMarie. His seigneury lies on the Richelieu, a little to the south of Fort St.\nLouis.\"\n\"Good!\" cried Amos. \"If we bave a\nfriend there we shall do well. That\nclinches It, then, and we shnll hold fast\nhy the river.\"\nAnd so for a long week the little party toiled up the great waterway, keeping ever to the southern, bonk, when*\nthere were fewer clearings. Tho clearings radiated out from the villages,\nand every cottage was built with an\neye to the military necessities of the\nwhole, so that the defense might make\na stand at all points and might finally\ncenter upon the stoue mnnor house and\nthe mill.\nAt every step ln this country,\nwhether the traveler wore on the St.\nLawrence or west upon the lakes or\ndown upon the banks of the Mississippi or soutli In the country of tho\nCherokees and of the Creeks, he would\nstill find the inhabitants In the same\nstate of dreadful expectancy and from\nthe same cause. The Iroquois, as they\nwere named by the French, or the\nFive Nations, ns tbey called themselves, hung like a cloud over the whole\ngreat continent.\nFor half a century these tribes had\nnursed a grudge townrd the French\nsince Champlnin and some of his followers hnd tnken part with their enemies against them. During all these\nyears tliey bad brooded in their forest\nvillages, flashing out now and again\nin some border outrage, but waiting\nfor the most part until their chance\nshould come. And now it seemed to\nthem that It had come. Thoy had destroyed all the tribes who might have\nallied themselves with the white men.\nThey had isolated them. They had\nsupplied themselves with good guns\nand plenty of ammunition from the\nDutch and Engllsn of New lork. Tbe\nlong, thin line of French settlements\nlay naked before them.\nSuch was the situation as the little\nparty of refugees paddled along the\nbank of the river, seeking the only\npath which could lead them to peace\nand to freedom. Yet it was, as they\nwell knew, a dangerous road to follow. All down the Richelieu wero the\noutposts and blockhouses of tbo\nFrench. The blockhouses themselves\nmight hold their own, but to the little\nparty who had to travel down from\none to the other tho situation was full\nof deadly peril. It was true that tho\nIroquois wore not at war with the\nEnglish, but they would discriminate\nlittle when on the warpath, and tho\nAmericans, even had they wished to\ndo so, could not separate thoir fate\nfrom that of their two French companions.\nAs they ascended the St. Lawrence\nthoy met many canoes coming down.\nMore than once tiiese wayfarers\nwished to have speech with the fugitives, but they pushed onward, disregarding tlieir signs and hails. From\nbelow nothing overtook them, for they\npaddled from early morning until late\nat night.\nOn the seventh day they rested at a\npoint but a few miles from the mouth\nof the Richelieu river, where a large\nblockhouse, Fort Richelieu, had been\nbuilt by M. de Saurel. Once past this,\nthey had no great distance to go to\nreach the seigucury of De Catlnat's\nfriend of the noblesse, who would help\nthem upon their way. Tliey had spent\nthe night upon a little island In midstream, and at enrly dnwn they wero\nabout to thrust the canoe out agnin\nfrom tbe sand lined cove In which she\nlay when Ephralm Savage growled 111\nhis throat and pointed out across the\nwater.\nA lnrge canoe was coming up the\nriver, flying along as quick as a dozen\narms could drive It. In the stern snt\na dark figure, whicli bent forward with\nevery swing of the paddles as though\nconsumed by eagerness to push onward. Even nt thnt distance there\nwas no mistaking it. It wns the fanatical monk whom they had left behind\nthorn.\nConcealed among the brushwood,\nthey watched their pursuers fly past\nand vanish round a curve ln a stroam.\n\"We'd have done better either to put\nhlm overboard or to tnko him ns ballast,\" said Ephralm.\n\"Well, we can't take the back track,\nanyhow,\" said Amos.\n\"And yet how can we go on?\" snld\nDe Cntinnt despondently. \"This vindictive devil will give word nt the\nfort nnd at every other point nlong the\nriver.\"\n\"Let mo cipher It out.\" Amos Green\nsilt on n fallen maple with his head\nsunk upon his hands. \"Well,\" said ho\npresently, \"if It's no good going on and\nno good irolng back, there's only one\nwny, and that Is to go to ono side. We\ncan't go to the north, so It follows that\nwe must go to the south.\"\n\"Leave the canoe?\"\n\"It's our only chance. We can cut\nthrough the woods and come out near\nthis friendly bouse on tiie Richelieu.\nThe friar will lose our trail then, and\nwe'll have no more trouble with him\nIf he stays on tho St. Lawrence.\"\n\"There's nothing else for it,\" said\nCaptain Ephralm ruefully. \"It's not j\nmy way to go by land If I can get by\nwater, so you must lay the course and\nkeep her straight, Amos.\"\n\"It Is not far, nnd It will not take\nus long. Let us get over to the south\nern bank, and we shall make a start\nIf madame tires, De Catlnat, we shall\ntake turns to carry her.\"\n\"Ah, monsieur, you cannot think\nwhat a good walker I am! In this\nsplendid air one might go on forever.\"\n\"We will cross, then.\" In a very\nfew minutes they were at the other\nside and had landed at the edge of the\nforest. There the guns and ammunition were allotted to each man, and\nhia share of provisions and of the\nscanty baggage. Then, haTing paid the\nIndians and having instructed tbem to\nsay nothing of their movemeuts, tbey\nturned their backs upon tho river and\nplunged into the silent woods.\n(To be Continued.)\nA DESERT PERIL\nThe Deadly Clear Water of the Death\nValley Pools.\n\"One of tbe chief dangers to travelers ln crossing such dreary and arid\nwastes as the far famed Death valley\narlse3 from Ignorance as to the character of the Infrequent pools of water\nalong the route,\" said a mining engl-\nner of Denver.\n\"The tenderfoot, growing faint under a blazing sun, will want to quench\nhis intolerable thirst when he comes\nto a shallow hole whose water, clear\nas crystal, seems absolutely pure.

We are\nalways reading in tho papers allusions\nto the luxury and extravagance of women of the smart world. Now and\nthen we may come across some reference to the elaboration of self indulgence In wliich the young men of our\nwealthy class luxuriate.

It began in\na simple gift of sweets by an unknown\nman to some school-children. Something in the taste of the sweets was\nunpalatable, and a rumor quickly\nspread that a stranger was going\nabout giving children poisoned sweets.\nThe police sampled some of the\nsweets, and found them quite harmless; but they thought it advisable te\nask schoolmasters and mistresses to\nwarn the children against accepting;\nany such gifts in future. The warning, if anything, only increased the\nagitation ot'the mothers and children.\nAn Ardwick schoolboy on Friday went\nto school, leaving behind him a sup\nply of milk and tea, which he was accustomed to take. A lodger at hia\nmother's house volunteered to carry,\nit to the school. He did so, putting\nthe mixture accidentally in a bottk\nwhich had contained furniture polish.\nWhen he arrived, he handed the bot*\ntie through the school railings to a\nlad, who smelt the turpentine, and\nimmediately announced that a maa\nwas giving poisoned tea to the children. The lodger explained, but a\ncrowd of indignant mothers assembled\nand mobbed the unfortunate man,\nwho had to be taken to the police station, the women making strenuous ef\nforts to assault him on the way.\nEventually the misunderstanding wai\ncleared up, and the chapter of accidents ended.\nGALLANTRY AT SEA.\nHis Majesty Awards Medals to Somi\nBrave Sailors.\nThe King has been pleased to award\na Bilver medal for gallantry in raving\nlife at soa to Mr. John Robert Denton, of Leeds, England, in recognition\nof his services in endeavoring to rescue a steward of the British ste unship Arzila, of Liverpool, who jumped\noverboard when that vessel was anchored a mile from the shore off Mo-\ngador, Morocco, on Fob. 24 last.

The story ol\nits acquisition is a curious one. Sou'*\nwest Bay used to be considered a good\nplace for target practice by the British men-of-war on patrol duty there,\nand this small islet was used as a\ntarget so frequently, that it seemed in\ndanger of being gradually shot away.\nThe chief who owned it protested, and\nwanted compensation. Tho captain of\na man-of-war, who understood the natives, knew that these claims would\nbe a ceaseless source of blackmail unless they were settled once for all; so\nho bought the island for the British\nCrown, paying ten Bticks of tobacco\nfor it, and everyone was satisfied. The\nplace, since then, has been known aa\n'\"\"ten Stick Island.\"\nA TENDERFOOT'S REVENGE\nSugar Cane Dance.\nA very curious, and exceedingly\nclever, dance mny be witnessed in\nFiji, called by the natives \"the sugarcane meke,\" or sugar-cane dance. It\nrepresents the growth of the sugarcane. In the first figure, the dancers\nBquat low on the ground, shake their\nheads, shut their eyes, and murmur\nslowly and softly an unintelligible\nsentence. Gradually they all stand\nup together, growing taller and taller,\nand as they \"grow\" they wave their\narms, and tremble all over from ankle\nto head, like the tall, tasselled cane\nwaving in the wind, and still they\nkeep on chanting louder ond louder.\nThe last figure represents a series of\ncombats meant to symbolize the exactions of the chiefs, who compel the\n\"kaisi,\" willing or unwilling, to come\nand cut their crops.\nHieroglyphics In Africa.\nTransvaal and Rhodesia paperB to\nhand by current mail give interesting\naccounts of recent antiquarian discoveries of great value in the Tete\ndistrict of East Africa. One \"find\"\nis a rock-face, 38 feet long by 20 feet\nin height, closely-covered with hieroglyphics of Phoenician origin. The inscription appears to relate to sun-\nworship. There are signs distinctly\nresembling stars, there are sets of\nclearly defined liands with outstretched fingers raised as if in supplication,\nthem are signs in close juxtaposition\nconceivably representing the sun and\nmoon, and there is a symbol carrying\nwhat may very well be intended to be\ntbe sign of a pair of horns.\nPremature Burial.\nThe Association for the Prevention\nof Premature Burial held its annual\nmooting recently in London, England.\nA number of startling statements were\nmade as to the occurrence of premature burials, and Dr. W.

He inhals thc smoke\nand hands the bamboo joint back to\nhis wife for refilling.\nhouses of Corncobs.\nIn some parts of Europe corncobs\nore used for building purposes.

He simply locks ranch experience. An illustration of this fact occurred down In New Mexico several\nyears ago. One day a pale looking,\nthin and sickly young mon alighted\nfrom the train and put up at the little adobe hotel at Bernal Springs. The\ntenderfoot walked up to the bar and\ncalled for a bottle of soda pop.\n\" 'Tain't allowed to drink that sort o'\nstuff out here,\" said a toughy. \"What\nyou want ls a stiff drink o' red liquor.\nMr. Barkeeper, set out the plson for\nthis young feller.\" \"You have the best\nof me,\" replied the tenderfoot, \"and\nI'll have to drink the stuff, but I hope\nthe time may come when I can make\nyou drink my choice of liquid.\"\nThe tenderfoot raised the glass and\ngulped down the whisky. Sandy had\nhad his way about It, and he made no\neffort to comprehend the vague remark\nof the stranger. The tenderfoot left\nfor a ranch down the Pecos the next\nday after the Incident In the saloon,\nand he was forgotten until one afternoon more than a year afterward a\nstrong, healthy looking young man\nrode up to tbe hotel on a broncho,\ndropped the bridle reins upon the\nground and dismounted. He bad tbe\nappearance of a typical young man of\ntbe range. Ills face was bronzed and\nhis eyes clear and penetrating. \"I owe\na follow a debt which I believe I will\npay right now,\" the stranger said.\nNo sooner bad he made the remark\nthan he walked off ln the direction of\nSandy, who had his gun in his right\nhand and was firing It into the air\nevery few stops. The stranger approached Sandy, pulled his gun and\nunceremoniously drugged the bully up\nto the saloon and led him ln that fashion up to the bar. \"Get me a pan of\nwater and set It upon the floor,\" he\nsaid to the barkeeper.\nThe order was complied with, Sandy\nstanding there meekly, wondering what\nwas going to happen to him. \"Now,\ngot down on the floor and drink water\nout of thnt pan like a dog,\" the former\ntenderfoot ordered. Sandy at first refused, but when the stranger began\ntwirllug his gun around on his forefinger and snld the order must be obeyed\nthe cowed fellow unlimbered and lay\ndown upon tue floor and began drinking water out of the pan.\nWATEHL00.\nThs Immutability of the Famous Old\nBattlefield.\nOne of the most striking features of\na visit to the battlefield of Waterloo\ntoday Is the Immutability of the entire\nscene In which one of tbe greatest battles of history took place. Notwithstanding the many years that have\npassed since the memorable day of\nJune IS, 1815, the entire scene of the\nbattle remains practically unchanged\nand untouched, aud the very buildings\naround which the tide of battle surged\nthe fiercest, save for the necessary restorations of the damage they sustained iu the conflict, remain exactly as\nthey were, nor has any encroachment\nof building or progress marred the historic field.\nThe battlefield of Waterloo is an\nopen, undulating stretch of good farming land. On thc day of the battle the\ngreater part of it was covered with\ncrops of rye, wheat, barley and oats,\nand the same crops are still grown\ntbere each season. The field is Intersected by two highroads branching at\nMont St Jean, the one on the right\nleading to Nlvelles, whilo that on the\nleft, which lay In the center of both\narmies, led south to Genappe, Char-\nlerol and Namur. Upon the crest of\ntbe ridge which formed the first of the\nallied positions a crossroad runs east\naad west. This road, on approaching\nthe spot where the ''Lion of Waterloo\"\nnow stands, ran through a cut ln thc\ncrest some twelve .to fourteen feet\ndeep, and it was this point that was\nknown after the battle as the Hollow\nBoad. Some 500 yards to the southeast of the \"Lion\" ls the farm of La\nHaye Salnte, while about 900 yards\nto the southwest stands Uougoumont,\nthc old chateau, farmhouse, outbuildings, wnlled garden nnd orchard, whlcb\nplayed such an Important part ln the\nfate of the day. These buildings nre\nnearly 300 years old and were built\nwith a view to their defense, as many\nold stone loopholes still to be found\ntestify. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Robert Howard Russell in\nMetropolitan Magazine.\nInsomnia.\nInsomnia Is the not uncommon fate\nof tbe brain worker who after years of\ncontinuous mental strain retires from\nactive life.

The first method means\nslower work, but you tiius retain the\n(lavor of the fruit\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdalso the fresh, delicious odor which vanishes when\nfruit is boiled.\nBefore proceeding with either method see to the fruit cans. A careful\nhousewife washes them during the\nyear as they are emptied, covers them\nand puts them away on a shelf to be\nin rendiness for the preserving season. Even then they required sterilizing be'ore being used, for tho bacteria floating everywhere in thc atmosphere require only the slightest\nchance for lodgment to begin fermentation.\nStill, with ordinary care it is quite\neasy to have fruit keep, even it you\nlive in a hot southern climnte. You\nhnve simply to be sure thnt the can\nis perfectly clean and thnt it is airtight. To make it so, put ench can in\na wash-boiler of cold water, dissolving in it a little borax if you notice\ndirt or a crust on the cans or their\nlids. To keep the . cans from cracking, cover trie bottom of thc boiler\nwith a framework or anything which\nkeeps the glass from the intense heat\nof the fire. Let the water come slowly to a boil, then continue at the boiling point for ten minutes. Set the\nboiler back on the stove, cover it,\nand allow the cans to stand in the hot\nwa'er until they are needed. Rinse\nthorn with fresh boiling water, and\nthoy are then ready to fill.\nCostiveness and its Cure.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd When\nthe excretory organs refuse to perform their functions properly the intestines become clogged.

Goffe held\nin one hand a cheese wrapped ln a\nnapkin, which he used for a shield,\nand carried a mop which he bad soaked in muddy water as he passed a puddle.\nThus equipped, the Judge mounted\nthe stage. The fencer railed at bim\nfor his impudence, asked him what\nbusiness he had there and ordered him\nto begone. The judge stood his ground\nThen the gladiator made a pass at him\nwith his sword to drive him off. The\nJudge received the sword in his cheese\nand held It there till he had drawn\nthe mop over the professor's face and\nsmeared him with mud. Another\nplunge by the enraged maltre d'armes\nresulted similarly, this time the Judge\npoking the mop into bis eyes. This\noperation was repeated a third time.\nThen tbe maddened fencing master\ndropped his ordinary sword tfnd grabbed up a huge broadsword. Thereupon\nthe Judge said:\n\"Stop, sir! Hitherto, yon see, I have\nonly played with you and not attempted to do you harm, but If you come at\nme now with the broadsword know\nthat I will certainly take your life!\"\nThe master was Impressed by the\nfirmness with which the judge spoke,\nfor he dropped the point of his weapon\nnnd exclaimed: \"Who can you be?

The next question was what to\ndo with It He had two servants,\neither of whom would be glad to use\nit, but he did not wish to show favoritism.\nThen It occurred to hlm that he might\nbuy another ticket and give both his\nservants a pleasure. Not knowing\nwhore the tickets wero sold, he inquired of a policeman, and the officer\nsuggested that he go to the engine\nhouse.

Nude figures in themselves\nconstitute no harm. If they were on\nthe ground level, and could be mutilated by ribald people it would be\ndifferent. But they are fifty fee}, from\nthe ground.

Beautiful Ceylon has mosquitoes, said to\nbe the most adroit and audacious in\nthe world, and snakes, and a thousand more plagues of poor human beings, but the worst of them all is a\nspecies of leech. The Ceylon land-\nleech is a thin creature about two\ninches long, and very nimble and\nflexible; it will crawl up a man's leg,\nand traveling underneath the clothing, will climb as high as the throat.\nThey clo not crawl like the innocent\nloech that was known to medicine,\nbut rear themselves up on their tail\nto watch for prey and walk off to attack it with amazing rapidity. In\nwalking through tho jungle hosts of\nthem may be seen by tlie roadside,\nwhere they wait to victimize cattle.\nHorses, it is said, are driven half\nwild by them, as also are palanquin-\nbearers and coolies, whose bare legs\nare thoir favorite resort, the men's\nhands being too engaged to pull them\noff. The leeches may be seen hanging round thoir ankles, from which\ntiny trickles of blood run over the\nfoot.\nT takes hard rubbing to get cooked starch\n- into a fabric, because cooking starch increases the size of its particles or cells\nfourfold.\nCelluloid Starch\nsoaks into the fabric in\nits raw state, fills the\nlittle spaces andusthen\nenlarged by\nthe heat\nof the\niron \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nmaking*\nthe surface per-\nfectly\nsmooth\nand leaving ....\nfabric thoroughly\nstiffened.\nIt gives greater\nbeauty and longer life to your linen.\nVour grocer can supply It If you insist\nGeVWW\\& StorcYt\nNever Sticks.

Among the tribes to be\nfound on the mountain are a very\nstrange race of people called the Bajus. They trade in camphor, wax,\ngutta-percha, and india-rubber. The\ngreat source of their wealth is, however, the edible birds' nests, beloved\nby Chinese gourmets. One of the\nmost peculiar of their customs is the\nchristening of a child. A featber is\ninserted up the baby's nostril, to tickle it; if it sneezes it is a good sign,\nbut if not the ceremony is put off\nuntil another day.

This is his\nmethod of indicating to a comrade,\nnr it may bo to a' plain-clothes detective, that a pickpocket or other\nsuspected person is near and should\nbe kept under observation. ThiB signal is especially useful whin tho\nconstable who gives it is engaged in\ncontrolling a crowd or in lining the\nroute of a procession, for he can\nthus indicate to a detective the presence of anyone he suspects, and\ncause attention to bo drawn to him.\nWhen on duly, constables give warning of tho approach of the \"governor\" (inspector) or \"skipper\" (sergeant) in various ways.
