CiTY COUNCIL Meeting of the City Council was held on Monday evening in the Council Chambers. Present: Mayor Campbell, Aid. Parnham, Banks and Miller. Minutes of previous meeting read and adopted. Correspondence was read. The Mayor reported that the council had met Mr. Geo. Clinton regarding the lighting of the city and changed it from flate rate to to meter. It was estimated that the amount of light used would be 2,400 watts and at the rate of nine hours daily use, the cost would not be more than #50 per month. It was decided to adopt the 1913 tax rate for current year. The following accounts were submitted and referred to the finance committee: — Nanaimo Gaol.*.....:_ .$10.30 B. G. Crawford 55.80 A.

Typhoid Fever is a lilth disease, although cleanly people often become affected. It is carried by human excretions unci gets into the drinking water through improperly constructed wells, defective drains, etc., or on to food th-ough the agency of flies, and so i*n into the mouths and s'omach. This desease is far too prevalent, the deaths in British Columbia for the last year from this cause alone being eighty-five. Apart from this loss of life, the economic waste is enormous, During the same period about 700 persons were ill with this sickness in this province. If each of these cases were laid up for eight weeks, a short average, this would mean a total period of 39.200 days in hospital, and with hospital expenses at 92 per day, a total cost of $78,400. If each patient required a totol of four months before he regained his full strength and earning capacity, this would mean a tatal loss of 84,000 days. As the majority of these cases occur in men earning *?3 a day and over, the loss of earning capacity would be about $252,000. This, together with the hospital expenses, which do not include doctors' fees and other items, give a gross total of $330,400. Aside from this, many persons never regain their old health, and this, together with the loss of life, cannot be estimated in dollars. To prevent this disease, besides cleanliness, a method of immunization is now available. This consists of the use of typhoid prophylactic, which is a stirile solution for hypodermic injection It may be used by a doctor or a nurse, and will be supplied on application to the secretary of the Provincial Board of Health, Victoria. After the first dose there is some slight reaction, the person inoculated feeling as if he had an ordinary attack of La Grippe. This passes off in the course of a very few hours and does not prevent the person following his usual work. The second dose is given from seven to ten days after the first, and from this practically no reaction occurs. A third dose, for still more complete protection, is given from seven to ten days after the second. The use of this may save your life as it already has saved others Have it used on yourself and get your friends to do likewise.

Hon. L. P. Peiletier, Postmaster General, has been instrumental in introducing a week-end cable service between Canada and Australia, to be effective forthwith. Week-end messages may now be sent to Australia and New Zealand at the rate of $2'80, covering the first twenty words or less, and 14 cents for each additional word. As the regular cable rate between points iii Canada and Australia is 58 cents a word, while the new week-end cable rate is 14 cents a word, the latter will be a very material advantage. There is considerable communication between Canada and Australia, and business men will be able to issue orders and send messages that are not in a hurry and that a delay of twenty- four or forty- eight hours will not effect, with a considerable lessening of expense- Robert Suttie appeared before Messrs. Willard and Bate J. P. 's in the Provincial Police Court on Saturday, charged with the murder of Richard Hargraves.

NATURALIZATION BILL Ottawa, May 18— The busiest legislator at Ottawa during the past couple of weeks has been Hon. C. J, Doherty, Minister of Justice, who haa introduced an unusual number of new bills, and all of more than passing importance, From the standpoint of Western Canada, two were of exceptional Interest. They were the new Naturalization Bill and the bill to amend the Criminal Code so as to put an end to false advertising of property, and particularly real estate. The new Naturalization Bill, which is uniform with a bill already introduced in the British Parliament, provides for an imperial naturalization. But it does more, it repeals our present Canadian naturalization law. The new law, which is infinitely more rigid than the old one, means the end of the wholesale naturalization of foreigners which has been such a scandal in Western Canadian elections. The present law requires only three years' residence to become naturalized. The new law will require five years residence in some part of the British Empire and the final year in Canada. In addition, there is a certain educational test, Hundreds of foreigners have been naturalized in the past who did not know a word of English. The new law will require an adequate knowledge of either French or English. In the past Canadian naturalization was not recognized in Great Britain, the result being that a naturalized Canadian .would not be recognized as a subject of Great Britain outside of Canada. Hon. George H Perley who was born in the United States, would, if he had visited Great Britain or accepted the Canadian High Commissionership have had no status as a British subject. This bill removes it anomaly. Our naturalization, which is now to be uniform with that of Great Britain, will be effective in the United Kingdom and the Empire generally, and in all self governing dominions which also adopt this legislature. II 'is expected that Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and New Foundland will pass similar legislation, so that there will be r.'al imperial naturalization—a great step forward in imperial unity. Robert Henderson,' of Boron, Awarded the Edward Medal Hon. Dr. Young, in his capacity as Provincial Secretary, on Thursday received a communication from the Imperial Government, notifying him that it had been determined to bestow the Edward medal of the second class upon Mr. Robert Henderson of Cumberland. The recipient of this coveted honor for some years was employed in the coal mines of South Africa. On January lj 1913, while employed at the Hatting Spruit Colliery, Natal, a serious "gob" fire started in one of the workings. A number of native boys were overcome by the poisonous gases, and Mr. Henderson and another, at the imminent risk of their own lives, effected a heroic rescue. It is intended that the presentation of the medal to Mr. Henderson shall be made in a public manner. Wed- LOCAL NEWS .Mrs: John Weir left on nesday for Victoria.

Carmen again held a glass to his lips. "Qo on," sho commanded; "what else did you dream?" "That's all," lio replied in n weak voice, "always tho same dream over snd over again, always tho long white road, always Oscar Sorel and myself —two men ye' one—until tiie end camo Micro was an end of both." Carmen was leaning over him again. so close that her warm breath fanned his laco. "Vou killed Oscar Soral." . "It's a lie!"

There was a strange feeling of unrest and excitement in the house. At last the night uurso sent for Lady Hethcrington.

The nurso sat down nt the writing table. "I think I ought to send for Dr. Murray, I shall." Even as she spoke tho great bell of tho front door clanged.

COAL FIELDS ARE IM."'ORTANT Sir Ernest Shacklcton's Discovery in Arctic Opens Up Great Possibilities In a letter to the Royal Geograpbl* eal society, Professor Kdgeworlli David said ho did not bellevo tho world vci l'oellzot, tho scientific as well as tho commercial importance of the great coal Hold which Sir H. SkaciUeton discovered at the head of tlio Boardmore Glacier, and which contained probably as much coal as existed in all tho unworked coal llclds of Great Britain. "Probably if n slinft wore sunk at tlio South Polo, through tho covering of snow nud ice," added Professor David, "you would strike the continuation ot this great coal field, lt Is in all probability one of the largest unworked coal holds of he world."

One morning the house surgeon asked him to examine an eye that was in the head of a mau who complained of great pain, and to report on tho caso later. With a solemn air, Clarence adjusted tho opthalnioscope, and gazed seriously and long into tho pat lout's eyo. When at last there was no excuse for gazing any' longer, ho stood up and sold: ".My dear sir—my very dear sir, if you will allow me to say so, you possess a most remarkable eye. 1 have never, in the whole course of my professional career"—ho had left scbool about six months previously— "seen an eye like it!

THE SECRET OF GOOD DIGESTION In perfect health, with regular and healthful action of the* liver and kidneys, you need not know there is such a thing as digestion or indigestion. Unfortunately, however, modem life Is artificial, and not many people avoid suffering more or less from troubles of this nature. Tho great secret lies in keeping the liver and kidneys in health und vigor, for then the food Is passed quickly along the alimentary canal, the nutritive portions being assimilated in the blood stream am tho poisoned waste materials arc passed out of tho body. When tho liver nnd kidneys get wrong you will obtain relief most promptly and effectively by using Dr. Chase's Kldney-Llver Pills. If chronic Indigestion is lo be cured it must be Ly enlivening tho action of those tillering and excretory organ,. To persons who havo thought only ot tho stomach as being the offending organ this may seem strange, but any coin- potent physician will tell you ibis is correct.

Joint and Muscle Pains Banished by Nerviline IT CURES RHEUMATISM Thousands of peoplo, chuck full of the joy of living—happy, glad, bright people, that Nervllle has cured of their pains, all tell the same wonderful story of Us power to drive out tbe aches and tortures of rheumatism and kindred ills. "My goodness, but Nerviline is a miracle-worker," writes Mrs. Charlotte Chlpman, mother cf a well- known family residing at Mount Pleasant. "Last month I was so crippled up with sciatica and muscu.'ar rheumatism as to be almost unable to do a bit ot housework. Sly i >!uts were so still and the muscles so frightfully sore that I evei-rcrieil at limes wltb tha pain.

King George on Hard Work King Ceorge lias sent an interesting little message to his subjects in Great Britain, Ireland and the colonies. "I have to wcrk hard myself, and I think hard work is good lor people," says the message. - Verily, hard work Is good for people. As a social moralist has just told us in a book entitled "What Men Live By," work, love and play are the essential! of happiness, and work, Including as it does discharge ot all duties, is the greatest of these. It is not hard wcrk that kills or Impairs offleieney. It Is either worry that docs that, or else tco hard, too moqgtonous, too mechanical work that is not properly relieved by domestic life, by wholesome recreation, by Joy derived from naturo, art and social intercourse. A world without hard work would bo a world of intolerable tedium and boredom. But while we cannot enjoy play and rest unless we have worked for it, it is equally true that wo cannot enjoy hnrd work unless wo return to It refreshed and stimulated by elevated pleasure, hy glimpses .of beauty, by satisfacton of the imld.vt of our faculties. The overwhelming majorty of men work hard—they have to—but too many of them, alas, have not learned to use work as n means of happiness, have not learned to play, to give themselves the varied interests that arc thc spice of life. Society should organize play as well as work, better than I. does. Could Hardly Live For Asthma.— Writes ono man who after years of suffering has found complete relief through Dr. J. D.

Shy by Names Ono would suppose thut even ln largo families parents wouldn't run out of names to glvo their children. But a certain lack of imagination—or maleriai—Is evident in sections of the foreign populated west side. A United Charities worker on one of her recent investigations came across a family where threo of the young ones were named Joe. Her lirst thought was lhat either the father or mother had heen married more than once, but to her amazement such did not prove to be tlio case. The mother simply liked tlie name Joe and took the path of least resistance. "But," asked the visitor, turning to ono of the liltle follows, "how do you know when to como when your mam* ma wauts you?" "Oli, that's, easy." was tlio reply. "Wheu.she wants me she calls 'Joe,' and 1 come, and when she wants my brother, why he comeB." Tills explanation Is still rather unsatisfactory, but the practice of calling several children in one family by the same name, 1 understand, is not uncommon 111 Chicago.—Chicago Inter Oeeoti. New Uses For Sawdust Among thc many uses for suwdust now being found Is its conversion into wood sugar. If digested with a woak solution of Btilphuruout. acid under six or seven atmospheres pressure, sawdust is converted into sugar with a yield of about twenty-five per cent. This cannot be crystallized for commercial table use. but can be used as stock food, or tormented iu- to alcohol. In the California lumber camp**, where, the sawdust ot the red-woods has formerly been considered u positive deti'Jment, it is now being sold to fruit growers for the packing of choice grapes. For I liis purpose, it has been round as efficient as the powdered cork in which Spanish grapes are packed. By this method of packing, tlie fruit arrives in much better condition, and tlio loss from decay is greatly minimized, WtoM-rer yott fetl t headache oomlo| oa take NA-DRU-CO Headache Waiers They step headaches promptly and surely.

Band Will Not Play (From The Nanaimo Herald) The Silver Cornet Band will not turn out for the Victoria Day Celebration. The Cornet Band has always been understood to be a citizens'band' The instruments were supplied by tlie city and are still the property of the city. Naturally therefore, the band has always supplied the greater part of tlie music for the 24th of May demonstration., and the com mittee this year, as usual, asked the band to play The terms offered were entirely satisfactory, and it was never suspected that there would be any hitch. However some of the so-called trade unionists in the city have taken the ground that the celebration was anti-unionist, and have declared that any band men who played for it would be a scab. Indeed many of the unionist members of the band have already beeni dubbed scabs, and under this ugly form of intimidation the band has cancelled its engagement. It is very much to be regretted that such a contretemps should have occured. We • appreciate the unfortunate position of the bandmen, and they are due to sympathy rather than censure. Of course there was no question or issue of trade unionism involved in their engagement for the Victoria Day Celebration. It is true that the demonstration is not being organized under the auspices of the United Mine Workers of America, Certainly it is not being organized against the union. It is distinctly and emphaticlly a citizens' holiday promoted for the enjoyment of the whole community witthout respect to affiliations of any kind, either religous, political or union. The band itself has been supported by public subscriptions and it is the citizens of Nanaimo, the people who have sup ported them for so many years that it has been forced to t irn down. The citizens are more than likely to remember it, and particularly the influences which caused it. It is another instance on the part of the United Mine Workers of America of how not to do things. The Traitor (From The Coal Age) He was a walking delegate, A canny labor leader, E.xceeding clever in debate, A smooth and ready pleader; The miners thought him keen and wise, To place and power they thrust him, He was a hero in their eyes, They thought that they could trust h m. But he was full of guile and craft, A wiz at dealing double, He held the owners up for graft, He made the miners trouble, The tricks he worked, the lies he spun Would fill a lengthy docket, For he looked out for Number One, And blithely crammed his pocket. He was a traitor to his cau.se, Betraying friend and neighbor, And breaking faith and breaking laws, All in the name of Labor, He didn't care if famine came And want and woe were showing, For men were counters in this game To keep his bankroll growing, Yet when this foxy boy was caught With all the graft he'd looted, The workers cried, "T'is as we thought Our leader's persecuted!" And 'spite of proof and evidence Of all his sales and barter, And in the face of common sense , They made him out a martyr! Keeping Out of the Ruts The blood of a business which advertises regularly runs faster than the blood of a business which rarely or never opens its mouth. - Men who get iii ruts stow Ui like rati,.

Sugar Kills Microbes Galien, tho "father of the medical art," attached great importance to the antiseptic properties ot sugar, but his discovery has been hitherto ignored by doctors and surgeons. .'. German doctor has just puh.ished a treatise demonstrating the extraordinary antiseptic properties of pure eane sugar In the treatment of wounds, thus giving additional proof of tho old adage that thero is nothing new under tho sun. As a result ot a number of experiments it is conclusively proved that a solution of sugar is ono ot the best disinfectants and sterilizers that can bo found. The German doctor employed it successfully in a number of very grave cases. Ils use was entirely beneficial and prevented putrefaction of wounds and contamination by microbes more efficaciously than any oilier medical antiseptic. Tho use of sugar ns a preservative of liquid's, especially of milk, is common enough but very few peoplo were aware of tho fact that 11 is a powerful microbe-killer.

Jackal Flies ef 'ndia There are certain East Indian flies, several varieties ol' them apparently of similar type to our own louse favorite. Musca domestica, that havo developed a rather ingenious, if somewhat dlsreputuble, win* of making a liviug. This is tbe story told by Captains Patton and Craig in the Indian Journal of Medical ltesearch. The proboscis of those flies is soft and not suitable for piercing tlie skin of man or the lower animals. So they hang around some oue of tlie several types of biting flies, and when the latter pierces tlie skin of the victim they crowd him away aud use tlio incision for feeding themselves. If the biter happens to be loo large or tierce thus to be driven from his prey, tho fly Jackals wult unt" he ls finished and then take his place. In view of these observations it seems qulto possible that the Bo-called non-biting flies may play a hitherto unsuspected role In tho transmission of disease.

CUMBERLAND, B.C Two on A Tour In Which the Conventionalities Were Rudely Ignored. Ey TROV ALLISON. (The elevator of tho Washington mon- ■ment reached the ground after Its sol- •mnly slow descent, and Rhoda Jnnil* •on, feeling somewhat overawed by the world us seen from thc top of the mon- amcut, sat dowu 014 a bench near the elevator door. She needed a few minutes to readjust her thoughts und to plan for (lie rest of the day. Rhudn hud saved every possible pen- *y trom her salary during the school term in order to take this Washington Iriii nnd had determined lo crowd as •an. h sightseeing into her* ten days ns •ny other Washington tourist had overtone. * Sho had spent hours with the visiting milliner In her town planning every detail of the time and had Dually ■reived In the city and taken a cab dl* •redly to (he quiet lodgings sbo had •recommended. The milliner had, however, forgotten to take Into consideration (ho fact that the girl bad never keen accustomed to n city and to city ways and had therefuro failed to prepare her for tbo feeling of desolation ■nd loneliness thnt grew mure and •lore oppressive every minute. The Congressional library had sotte- •ed tier love of beauty, tho capitol ■nd the White House had seemed like •Id friends from the pictures In the geography and history from which she bad taught for months, hut ln ber classes she hud heen the personality. Here she seemed to dwindle Into nothingness, nud the things that had been mere ideas and pictures towered over tier oppressively, and sho was overcome hy her littleness nnd her loneliness and hinged for some one to speak to her with u hint of friendly Interest. The big, brand shouldered man sitting ou thc other end of t he bench sbe bnd seen walking down (he steps of tho monument. He hail evidently felt ■0 secure iu Ills superb physical •trcngfh that he walked down lo ex amino moro closely the inscriptions on tho stones that cannot he studied so well from tho elevator. Sho saw him take a fountain pen from his pocket, adjust It nud dually «ort 11 package of souvenir post cards ■nd begin writing Industriously.

Sho leaned forward to flirt n bit of | dust from the tip Of her pen, nnd a whiff of air blew the postal from her lap and left it lying ut tbe big man's feet. Be saw It there and, thinking he had flroppcd one of his own,, stooped und ricked ft up, rending it leisurely. "I fed so littlo and so lonely," he rend,"and, surprised, turned to meet the flushed face of the girl. "It's mine," sho said, holding out her baud for IL "Do you feel lhat way, too5" lie ask I ed eagerly. "That's nip exactly!" "I shouldn't have culled ycu really "little,"' sho answered, with lhe frank friendliness of a girl wlm had never met with n circumstance thut would cause her to be suspicious of human Hy. "1 reckon you are referring lo the tlrst part of thc sentence. 'It is so big' wonld really seem more suitable." '"That's right," he laughed, looking at tho postal, "but that just proves thai I can hold moro loneliness than you. for I am feeling lonely from tho soles ot my feet to tho top of my new felt hat that I bought In Carson City to •ce the sights of Washington In." "At least you nro farther from home than J. I'm from South Carolina," she chatted, three dnys' abstinence from conversation having left her with a surplus on hand. "I was Just sending some of tbest things (0 lhe hoys," ho said. "Tbe; ■re living in sVhnck near mine, und II will llclilo 'em liumeusely tu get these plclures of civilization.

"1 don't know much about eastern etiquette, but I wonder if It wouldn't be tolerably proper for us to do soma slghtseelug together tbis afternoon?" ho said, with a touch of- boyish shyness. "I wonder," she said slowly. Thc Joy of companionship settled tht question for them, uud be called at her hoarding house morning after morniug, guidebook in band, thc plan for the day already laid out. They had left the trip to Arlington for thc lust afternoon of her stay, nnd they wandered through the grounds, more beautiful than ever iu their early summer foliage, until they reached the spot overlooking tlie I'otomuc where tho tail shaft rises in honor of the heroes of the Spanish war. "This is the loveliest spot of all," ht snld as they sat down on tho grassy slope with their faces turned toward tho river. "Washington will seem dead after I put you on the train this nfteruoon.

"Do you think a man ought to be forgiven for telling a lie?" ho demanded abruptly. Her face paled slightly, and her eyes were large with a fear that ho might In some way confess himself unworthy ot tlie friendly confidence sho had piaced In him. Tho unronvcntionnllty of their acquaintance stood out in her mind suddenly as viewed from tho world's standpoint "You hnven't-IIed to me?" sho nsked faintly. "Absolutely! No one ever told n bigger one." ho snld, witli his eyes Used on tho clover leaves, failing to see her pallor, "for It will not be tho boys I'll be missing; lt will be—just you." Her color came back with a rush, nnd sbe avoided bis eyes as she rose hastily to hor fect, tho daisies nnd clover leaves falling (0 tlio ground. "I'm sure I will bo late for my train If we don't hurry back," she said abruptly. "I almost wish you would miss It-It seems a shnmo that you cnunut afford to stay longer when I have more money than 1 can possibly spend—unless the town will let tne build 'em another library. Yuu couldn't let mc—er"- he stammered, not knowing how to express himself, , ".No, I couldn't." she blazed, catching his half formed idea. "There—thero — littlo woman — don't get huffy. I suppose I do bump up against conventionalities occasionally, but somehow 1 hale for you uot ta have everything you want," ho blurted out Her eyes softeaed, and when they reached thc station she watched his broad shoulders ns he elbowed his way through the crowd nt tbe ticket ollice nnd wondered why, now her face was turned homeward, she should feel more homesick than ever. ******* When he had put her on the train he leaned over end spoke determinedly. "I'm coming to South Carolina beforo I po hack west." She didn't answer, nnd ho took from his cont pocket one of tlie clover leaves she hnd dropped on tbe ground nt Arlington and held it up before her. She saw It had four leaves. "Po you know whnt I nm going to wish? That when I go back west-, you'll go wilh mo"—ho waited, a big, awkward boy In liis embarrassment; for her to look at him. "I-I-tbo train Is storting," sho said, holding out her hand hastily, "but -If one finds a four leaf clover—ho Is supposed to get his wish." FORGOT AMERICA'S SIZE. A Stupid Oversight on ths Part tf His Lordship. An English peer, noted fer bis wealth and his peppery temper, who Is president of a large British corporation, with American headquarters In New York, arrived in San Francisco Decently from the orient It was bis first American visit. On the day of his arrival, at 3 o'clock iu the afternoon, be sent an urgent telegram to his company's New York manager at the hitter's ofllcc. The message called for an immediate answer. Itccelving no reply by 4 .SO o'clock, the peer sent another message expressing his exasperation at not having had a reply sooner.. Another hour went and still no answer. Thereupon a thoroughly angry nobleman wired a third time. It was n characteristic pepperbox message. .No answer. Early the next morniug the peer got Ids reply. It wns just u crisp business wire, giving Uie informntlon he wished. There was no explanation as to the delay. WLen the Englishman reached New Turk he went to thc manager's office with fire In his eye. "Wby didn't you answer those telegrams ot mine promptly?" ho demanded. "Do you mean to say yon stop business here at 11 o'clock In tho afternoon?" And then he got five minutes' relief by storming around Ihe office, threatening ull kinds of disaster to the entire force.

Everybody In Far North Watching Experiments With Reindeers. At the lone Hudson Bay Company post at Cartwrlght there Is a little youngster. Stuart Swaffle.l by name, ■on of the "factor," or company agent at the post, wliose story fives the reason, in a nutshell, why the reindeer were brought to Labrador. When Stuart was a child, five or six year: of age, his mo'lier sent him out to play while Bhe attended to her household duties. By and by sho heard a great commotion among the Eskimo dogs, of whom the post maintains q'uito a pack for drawing tho sledges in tho winter time. At first she thought nothing of It, for tbe dogs often fight amot-g themselves. Wilder and wilder, however, grew the snarls and yelps (for the Eskimo deg, being really a wolf and not a dog, does not bark) until curiosity got the better of her and she went to tho window to see the cans*. To ber consternation, thc entire pack of dogs had set upon the child, who had perhaps stumbled up cuiouc them in his play, whilo her own dog, "Bouncer," brought from the homeland, was alono attempting '.0 defend him. It was with the utmost difficulty thai the pack was at last driven off, and when the child was rescued the clothes fairly c'ung fo ihe skin, to numerous wero his wounds.. He could only whisper: "Tho dogs hit me," and then tainted away. In ■ lone cemetery out on tbe wind-swept cape at nigclet there Is a monument to two trappers, father and eon. The two had come ln to trade their pelts and left the post In high spirits. That was tbe last that was seen of them. Later in the spring tbe dogs wero found gnawing their bones on the beaches. Tho very first piece of advice a native of Labrador will giro you, is not to pet tbe dogs, and, above all, not to stumble or fall among them; for at that Instant the pack will fall upon you. In the summer tho dogs forage for themselves, feeding largely on the fish that come close in to shore or on the offal of the fishing settlements. They are great, beautiful creatures, snowy white or mottled slightly with brown. In winter, however, their voracious appetites know no bounds. At the post food Is cooked for them and served bot, but it seems this never suffices. Harnessed up and driven along the snow trails of the northern wilds, it la only fear of the driver's whip that keeps them down. Let one dog turn upon him and ho shoots to kill; otherwise the pack ls on him at once. Many, Indeed, are tbe men in the lone wilderness of the north- land wbo have been devoured by their dogs. Hence tbe need of bringing In tbe reindeer to take tho place of the dogs. Dr. Grenfell, however, has one difficulty lo meet In trying to replace thc dogs with the deer, for the people are used to thc dogs and claim to know just how to handle them, while they do uot know bow to use the reindeer. Moreover, no reindeer can be put into use In a settlement until all the dogs thereabouts are gone, for the dogs will smell a deer miles away and the pack wlll "go" for It at once. What, then, can tho people do between tho time tbo deer aro brought In and are being broken to use and the necessary killing or sending away of thc dogs? What, too, shall be done with tbe dogs? At present, when a dog bites' anyone he is shot; the skin is drees ed and sold for about $3. But many of the dogs ore gentle, some are thoroughly tamo and reliable and tho people aro loath to part wilb them. Only a stern law ean make them do thi;—and to get such a law passed and enforced needs influence and determination. Ouo wondere what lhe post would scom like when, instead of the beautiful dogs coming down thc path to the dock, stopping to throw out their forefeet and lean out to yawn, or lick one's shoe, running as soon as onc lifts a hand for fear of tho probable stone, tho reindeer will browse 1n (he corrals. Reindeer moss abounds In Labrador aud on it the deer feed, even through tho snow. Up at SL Anthony's, whore Dr. Grenfell's mission has a hospital, the 200 deer that lie has" brought there are now flourishing. It Is there the Important experiment will ho tried of substituting the deer for the dog. The world awaits the result with interest. New Brunswick Judge. The Hon.

Photography failed as a menus ol deciding winners iu thc races and oth. er contests nt the Inst Olympic gamei iu Stockholm. But because ot that les son stereoscopic photographs are proposed as an improvement nnd are to be tried out lu England. At Ibe Stock holm games photographs were taken of tbe runners as they reached the tape, but In every instance where the judges differed among themselves as tc who was tbe winner the additional evidence of the camera wns not sufficient to bring nbout un agreement. The only Instances where the photographs were assumed to bo decisive were those in which file judges agreed with the photographic record anyway. The trouble was apparently due to lack of stereoscopic effect. So It Is now j suggested thut tho pictures be taken by 11 stereoscopic camera. In oilier words, two pictures are tukeu together from cameras side by side, so tluiij when (lie developed prints nre pnt In n stereoscope-like lho cue which usee to he found alwnys on tlie center tabic in the parlor—there will he depth to tho picture, ond In consequence it will be possible to determine beyond dispute the exact position ot each runner. An advisory trainer of the British athletes who competed at Stockholm nnd who has trained many Cambridge university athletes uses high speed photography regularly lu his training work. Slauy photographs of runners end jumpers are taken, each exposure being a high speed snapshot. Then the photographs are examined to see in what wny the runner or jumper can lmprovo Ills style. It may bo found, for Instance, tbat be bas acquired a habit of making ■some motions with his arms (hat use up little of his strength, yet slightly binder Instead of help his main effort. Motion pictures did not prove of value In these studies ->wing to tho fact that tbe ordinary motion picture camera ls not equipped with a high speed shutter. SLEEP IS AN ILLUSION.
