Owing to carelessness, 1 had been under the impression that the steamer bv which I meant to travel started on a'Saturday, which would leave me just enough time to make my way out from Viae Brule by forced marches. The particular piece of country through which we had to pass was unknown to nuy of us. so that when I suddenly, through I he medium of nu old newspaper, discovered that my steamer left ou the Friday afternoon, we lost no time in breaking camp, nnd by two o'clock set out. to strike the nearest trail to civilization. The first pari of our way led us along a portage through a belt'of green wood, the \rry portage upon which the Frenchmen were hospitality of the family bed, which, un- working when their return to camp proved so disastrous to our hopes. About four o'clock, when ii was rapidly growing dusk, Edward, who was lending along the side of a knoll, suddenly threw down his pack and pointed across the valley. "A caribou slag and a good head on him. I saw the lop half of his horn ns lie moved," he said. The place indicated was about three-quarters of a mile away. Telling Ihe Frenchmen to set down tho canoe and to wait fur lis III absolute silence until either we returned or they heard a .-hot, we ran down Ihe hill anil along a narrow savannah in the direction of the caribou. After we had covered half a mile we found to our disgust that n river lay bel ween us ami tin Its edges were frozen, and no less some of the family accepted the al ternative of the stable, had already seven claimants, The French-Canadian family, which lives in or upon the skirts of the woodland, invariably possesses one or more ^uns, general!v muzzle-loaders of the kind that cost from .*."» to $8, und with out which no member of the household above the height of four feel, or so ever seems to move far from the door.

Here I was informed by .Mr. .1. W. Maker, who rent'- Ihe sporting rights, that the conn- try became more open, until forest merged into brnlee (the district having been devastate.j of forest hy fire years be- fore), CSpOcially in the neighborhood of tho lake of that name. Two days later we portaged across, and set our canoe upon the waters of Luc flrule, and on tho following day having at Inst, arrived at our chosen hunting ground, we were up before Ihe dawn. Hitherto travelling had occupied a large portion of our time, for the river up which we had just journeyed had not been traversed by canoe before, nt least, we could gather no rumor of its having been done; and where the stream narrowed a number of deadfalls made it clear that no one had passed that way for, at any rate, a number of years. omo hint of our presence al almost ex nctly the same Instant, Me sprang to his foot a- I dropped Oil mv knee and fired bel ween Ihe root v 0f the dead tree 1 heard the bullet tell, ami the caribou staggered, but running round to gel a clear view I saw he was -:i|| going, und fired again twice, when the animal fell. Ile hud been standing broadside on wilh his head slightly turned when I fired Ihe lirst shot, which I afterwards found had hit him in the Iink. As he dashed forward my attention hail been | fixed upon making sure of him, so that I bey..ml Ihe lirst glntico I had given no more thought tn his head. When he fell we both run up. He lay upon his right side, quite (load. Ildwnr.l seized his horn to turn him over, and then for Hie first time we became aware that the right antler was missing. As the date was November 1st it was unlikely that he had dropped his horn, though at the same tipic it was quite possible, since it is not, uncommon for caribou, and especially the larger stags, to lose both antlers by this date. This is, however, a matter both of individual and seasonal variation, as in some years mnny retain their horns as late as the loth and even the 20th of the month, though by Mint lime it is probable that the really flue heads, which are always the first to become clean nf velvet, have fallen. Of course, in the present instance we were bitterly disappointed, but there was no help for it, and the trophy would crystal >d' had light, as (hough some giant Ii flung a shower of diamonds across our little port inn of Ihe world. The sky was deep blue, the air mounted to one's brain; it was go.nl to be alive. (if course, ■ objective was tlie first look out, as we named the spot from which we had sighted those six most Ing We spent a blank 1 - there, and afterwards walked on from kn.dl to knoll without, a glimpse of deer, but passing, nevertheless, a couple of torn and broken trees upon which log stags had cleaned their horns only a matter of six weeks or so before. Al length, after a long walk, we climbed the rocky backbone of the hill which shut in our valley, an ideal place for spying, and soon both glumes wore at. work. Al iiral the wide vista seemed teiiunl less, but ul'ler half uu hour I saw something move, fi.uud il again with my tolescopo, and made oat u doc caribou advancing up u savannah about half a mile away. Seven does soon appeared following the first, and then a slag, obviously young, lastly the tops of a pair of large horns, slowly rising until the whole body uf the stag was visible I pointed liim out to Md, and we slipped ovor the open rock, unobserved, ami commenced to run down the fissure ou the farther side. As we did so I fell fid's hand catch mv shoulder. "Look there! There upon'the hill!" he whispered. I looked, ami I do not think I have seen a more splendid sight. Down the steep slope on the opposite side no less than eighlecu caribou were galloping. At first I thought something must have frightened them. Hut no, evidently they had seen their friends in the valley, and were rushing down lo join thorn, or I should say the does were endeavoring to do so, for on the outskirts of the herd n great heavy-bodied stag, wdiose horns seemed to touch his flanks, wns struggling to check the revolt of his harem. Hut no sooner had fhe eighteen reached the level ground in the gut of tho valley than the lea.ling doe slowed to a walk. They moved on, and in the neighborhood of a little pool of dark water, which lay at the head of the he hud perceived the secuud herd of caribou breaking back, and slipping along the ridge, got in a shol at the master stag al llnee hundred yards. The stag, not knowing where (he bullet fhat struck him came from, ran iu towards him, when \w fired at him again as he galloped, hitting him twice and bringing him down. All the shots were long, und rendered difficult by Ihe bush through which tho stag wus charging. The head had line tops and bays, aad was beautifully pnlinnted, and o. quite a different type tn my rugged specimen. Curiously enough we eatdi preferred the other's trophy; (his did not, however, prevent our feeling to the fullest that sense of satisfaction resulting from success that is one of the few .joys (hat has absolutely no read ion. Having made so lucky a start, and having, by the terms of our license, only the right to shout one more stag apiece, WO now, as was to be expected, at once set our standard vory high, a fact lo which a fine stage which we sighted next day probably owed his continued lease of'life. That evening heavy snow fell. The first snow, which, in the case of moose and whitelnil. is the hunter's greatest opportunity, is, as regards caribou, of less aid. 'it. is. of course, possible by systematically following caribou tracks lu come up with deer from time to time, but as a rule in open country it: is hardly worth tne trouble to do this. The reason is that caribou are such insatiable travellers thai in eleven instances mil of twelve (he hunter gains nothing by (racking Ihem but a good appetite uud an extended knowledge of the conn- try. Nexi day we at firsl bunted sepur-1 utely, nnd' Edward saw. but did not shoot al, n young slag of nineteen or twenty points, while I had to be con tent wilh watching a small herd of does. About three in the afternoon, however, having mice more jollied forces, WC were Shivering in Hie Ice nf a rock upon thi' second looknul when a stag appeared moving through (he "brilloo ' at n dis- lance of about a mile and a half. A transient gleam of sunlight showed up his horns, and after making a detour to dear the wind, we set about Ihe business of Ihe stalk. The country in which we had seen him was tolerably thick, that: is, one might pass wilhin forty yards of a stag and remain quite unaware of his presence. As we had a long round to make we were lucky to see anything nf him again, uud in all probability should not. huve done so hud he not been accompanied by three does and two fawns, one of which gave us the line just ns we were on the point of getting to windward of them. As it was, a doe with her fawn became alarmed and made off followed by the rest. The stag, however, luippeiteil to have wandered some two hundred yards awny from the others, which just enabled me to run across, cut him off nnd fire n bullet which broke his shoulders. He curried a nice oven head of twenty-five points, and had—a very mre merit of Mie mainland stags—two fairly developed brow nailers. After the death of this stag our good fortune seemed to desert, us, for hunt as wc would, pithcr singly or together, neither of us came upon n shootahlo beast uf any kind.

"Mo you hear 1111'/" persisted the carter. "1 don't believe (here's any Heaven." Still the clergyman remained silent behind his newspaper.

"Whisper them to the judge, thon," magnanimously suggested counsel—and the court was obliged tu rap for order. ONE day a Scotch and English boy, who were lighting, were separated by their respective mothers with difficulty, the Scotch boy, though the smaller, being far the more pugnacious. ' What garred ye fielit a big laddie like that for?" said the mother, as she wiped the blood from his nose. "And I'll light him again," said the boy, "if he says Scotsmen wear kilts because their feet are too big to get into trousers!" THE militia boys were going away to camp on tho morrow, and as Lieut.

Pills That Have Benefited Thousands. —-Known far and near as a sure remedy in the treatment of indigestion and nil derangements of the stomach, liver, and kidneys, Parmelee's Vegetable Pills have brought relief to thousands when other specifics have failed. Innumerable testimonials can be produced to establish the truth of this insertion. Once tried they will be found superior to all other pills in the treatment of the ailments for which they arc prescribed. But her soldier-lover suid, "No, don't do that!" "Why not?" she asked. "Because," luughod he, "ton to ono you'd hit the captain." it t « THE old family physician being away on a much needed vacation, his practice was entrusted to his son, a recent medical graduate. When the old man returned, tho youngster told him, among othor things, that he had cured Miss Ferguson, au aged and wealthy patient of her chronic indigestion.

And the whistling was discontinued. AS one of the White Star steamships camo up New York- harbor tho other day, a grimy coal barge floated immediately in front of her. "Clear out of tho way with that old mud scow!" shouted an officer on the bridge. A round, sun-browned face appeared over the cabin hatchway. "Are ye tin captain of that vessel?" "No," answered the officer, "Then spake to yer equals. I.'m tin captain o' this!" came from the barge AT a marriage service performed some time ago in a little country church iu Berkshire, when the minister said iu solenfu tone, '' Will thou have this man to be thy' wedded husband?" instead of the woman nn- sweVing for herself, a gruff man's voice answered, ' r01 will." The minister looked Up, very much perplexed, and paused, lie repeated tho sentence, aud again tin- same gnil] voice answered: "Oi Will." Again the minister looked up surprised, not knowing what to make of it, when one of the groomsmen at the ond of the row said: " 'Er be deaf. Oi be answerin' for 11)0 think," said Mrs. McGoozlo, "my husband is tho most persistently argumentative man 1 over saw. He'll controvert any proposition, no matter what it is.

With the Horses fpHE harness horse racing season is J now fairly under way, and while it is unfortunate that two of the must important meetings, those at Lis- towel and London, clashed in their dates we have already seen some exceptionally good racing and more than one high-class horse )<as beeu uncovered. Tho feature of the London meeting wns the chestnut pacing gelding Tom Dillard, owned by Mr. L. H. Edmunds, of Blenheim, Out., and driven by the young Canadian reinsman, Del Peters, Tom Dillard was known to havo a world of speed, as he has to his credit the Canadian record for a half-mile ou half-mile track, 1.02. made at Thames- villa last year. He was raced a little ou the ice last winter, but on account of illness early in the season did not do himself justice. The fact that he won two races during tho London meeting and took a record of 2,17 1*4 without getting to the limit of his speed, stamps him us one of the best pacers of the year. Another pacer of prominence is the bay stallion Forest Pointer, owned by Arnold Bros., of Toronto, and iu the Stable of the well-known trainer, das. McPheo. This horse reduced his record from 2.18 1-4 to 2.17 1-4 at Scaforth, and was a winner again at London, Tho trotting mure Mattie Bryson, owned by Prnnty & Mnun, South River, Out., and that was a repeated winner on the iee Inst winter, has won each of her two starts to date this year and now carries a record of 2.81 1-4, which she is without doubt able to reduce materially. The only performer during the Ids- towel meeting was the gelding Billy W., that took a record of 2.22 1-4, but plainly able to go much faster. This horse is owned by Messrs. Cud more & Govonlock, of Scaforth, and ns ho is by that well-known sire of pacers, Sir John, and out of a ninre by John Duncan, second dam of Terror (thoroughbred), thus giving him a double infusion of thoroughbred blood, and making him bred on similar lines to the dead Flora Coffee, 2.05 1-2, it is but reasonable to suppose that he will be quite prominent In his future rnccH. Of the Canadian horses that are racing abroad, tho stallion Hal B., Jr., and the Mnro Wild Patchen, have both won, and at the same meeting Pontine, Mich. Hal B., Jr., took a select field of sidc- Tho transition from winter's cold to summer's heat frequently puts u strain Upon the system that produces {internal complications, always painful and often serious. A common form of disorder iy dysentery, to which many nre pron in the spring and summer. The very belt medicine to use in subduing thispninffil ailment is Dr. .1. D. Kelloggf's Dysentery Cordial. Tt is a standard remedy, sold everywhere, wheelers into camp, and also took a record of 2.11 1-4, which, considering it wus the horso's first start of tho year, and that it is his first record, is meritorious indeed. This horse is owned by Mr. P. L, Kastuer, of Sebringville, and is iu tho stable of Jimmy Kassou, who is considered one of the best of Canadian race drivers, Wild Patchen, that took a record of 2.15 8*4 ut Pontine, is a daughter of unl Putcheu, 2.15 3-4, owned by Mr, Caleb Wheeler, of Chatham, Ont. This mare wns also raced on the ice last winter, but did not meet with much success, as she did not appear to tuke kindly to the cold weather racing, However, her present success is no surprise to those who saw her finish second to the "cream pull'" pacer .Major Macgregor, when the later took a rocord of 8.15 1-4 at London last fall, and iu which race she stood better in the summary than Hal B., dr., that got third money.' The mile track racing has not yet begun, but, when it does, the crack Can- dial) representatives, The Eel, 2.02 1-4, and Darkey Hal, 2.02 1-1, will be found holding their own with the best pacers that are racing. Our attention lias been culled to the fact that we overlooked a truly great Ontario bred when mentioning the names of a number of thoroughbreds that had beeu foaled in the Dominion of Canada and that had demonstrated more than the usual amount nf quality. The horse we refer to now is the gelding Denhnin, a six-year-old chestnut by Dorwontwnter—Cottoudnlo, owned by the Valley Farm Stable at Hamilton. Denliam's sire aud dam are also owned at Valley Farm where he was foaled. As n three-year-old Denhnin signalized his entry into tlie racing game by running a mile in 1,38 I il at Fort Erie iu 1P07, and this stands as the record for Canadian bred horses. His most notable porfomiuncfi, however, was the defeat of the "Big Train," Jack Atliin, during the recent meeting at Hamilton, and it was at, the Schreiber horse's favorite distance, six furlongs. Denham beat the big horse every inch of the way, and wiin comfortably, running the distance in 1.11 -I--"), which in within one- fifth of a second of the Canadian record, held by Diamond, and is two-fifths of a second faster than the former track record at Hamilton", Denham has been unfortunate iu his racing experiences for the reason that it has been difficult for Trainer Nixon to get. him to the post, but, as ft is, he is without doubt the speediest of the many good thoroughbreds that have beeu foaled in the Dominion of Canada. In this same connection it is well also to mention the grand Utile mare Kelpie, a product of the Valley Farm, which, although light in stature, possesses the heart of a lion and limbs of steel, for she has to her credit the Canadian record at two miles and a quarter, and has repeatedly demonstrated that she is entitled to be classed among the best of Canadian horses, PROFESSOR WOODBRIDO-E RILEY of Vassal-, suggests that young women should regard marriage as a profession. "Of course, I don't mean by thut," said Prof. Riley recently, "that a young woman should sell herself. 1 mean that she should use her brain in marrying. "Tho sentimental idea of marriage so prevalent today—letting marriage come about of itself, bo to speak—that idea seems to me as shiftless aud foolish aud lazy as the old lady's iden of spelling. " 'You know, my dear, when I don't know how to spell a word I underscore it, like this. Then, if it is spelled wrong, it passes for a good joke, and if it is spelled right it doesn't matter.' " TWO London speculators were discussing the rubber boom, and the question naturally arose as to how long the upward movement was likely to be maintained. * One of them, who has done vory well, was inclined to be somewhat pessimistic " Vou know," he observed to his friend, "something will come along and spoil this boom. If it isn't home politics or an outbreak of war it will be disease among the rubber trees, which, I'm told, once started, spreads like wildfire. '' "Ab," retorted his friend, "the disease question is certainly a danger point. But I'm all right as regards that. The company I'm heavily interested in hasn't started planting yet!" NO ASPARAGUS IN THE U.S. YES, sir," says the waiter, not tho French, Italian, German or Gascon waiter, but the plain American kind, "we've got Some nice grass today.'' So, also, the plain American grocer, in Inking the household's order for the day will put down on his tab "two bunches grass" without being conscious that he is using any ubbreviu- tion. These two signs presage, we believe, the passing of the word "asparagus.'' Country people have called it "grass" for generations, but when it begins to take a firm root in the diction of the city, Ihe shorter and uglier word seems to be undermining for keeps the position of its longer compeer. These symptoms tell of a ground swell of usage that is going, to sweep the boards clean some day. It may be that "asparagus" will be preserved as one of the caste words of the aristocrats. It may be used as our Vory Best, People use " motor" when thoy mean "car." Hut it will not retain its vigor. It will become a pale shadow, while "grass" will do its work in the every-day life of America.—Chicago Evening Post. UNBURN A been Itabl. has IU4, W»k, Weary, W*t«ry By*'.

What arc you doing t help make this annual affair a success? Sometimes a farmer is heard to remark, that he does not enter anything at the Show, because the prize is not worth the bother of showing the produce. Often, we hear people at the Show remark, "oh, we'wouk have taken the prize for potatoes, carrots or something else, if we had only known." There wouldn't be much interest taken in a Show if it were known beforehand who was going to take the prizes, and anyone who leaves anything at home that might have taken a prize, should be ashamed to say anything about it on Show Day. The Secretary and the Committee of the Agricultural Society have done their share already towards making this year's Show a success, and it is now up to the farmers to fill up tlieir entry lists and show that their efforts have been appreciated. If one half the farmers in the District will act upon this suggestion there is no doubt that this year's Show will far surpass any of those that have gone before. "Where is my wandering cow to-night ? " That is a question that some of the owners of the troublesome bovines which wander the streets of our town at night, opening gates, des troying lawns and gardens, might ask, if the example of Nelson were followed in this city. Last week a Nelson man was hailed into court and ordered to pay damages to the extent of over $100 for the damage his eow had caused to his neighbor's garden. If a little more of Nelson spirit in regard to such matters was to pervade this town it would be a fine thing for this City.

Charlotte Corday Hat of Black Lace Embroidery for ladies and children's dresses, coats, parts of costumes, trimmings, parasols, hats, etc., is now in the zenith of fashion and cannot be too much worn. As io footgear the English woman this year lias blossomed forth in very smart low shoes and colored stockings. Some of the mummy dresses being very short, feet and ankles are exposed lo public view, so sombre black hosiery has been inoru or less discarded and scarlet, old rose, aeroplane blue, smoke grny and even white stockings are worn. Uf course, the really smart thing is to match the frock exactly in hosiery and' then wear pumps with largo black bows, bat some English women go their French sisters one better and exhibit remarkable contrasts. Hand-painted stockings, slippers nnd gloves from France are much in favor, At several smart weddings recently the brides have worn satin slippers edged with Valenciennes lace on the toes of which wore painted sprays of myrtle or clusters of orange blossoms, the same design being carried out. on the gloves. The Parisian always bravely defies convention in regard to the blending of colors und'mates purples and reds, aud yellows and pinks with sometimes beautiful effects which are vory becoming to her creamy pallor. The English woman has made up her mind to do the same, and this season's gowns show French color schemes which may or may not suit her very different style. As for jewelry, the English woman has gone gem mad. At the recent courts, at race meetings, small dinners aud lunch eoMS and bridge parlies superb jewelry has been in evidence. Of course, at the courts this is not extraordinary, as when the, khig and queen receive all those invited make themselves as resplendent as possible; but this year it was noticed that the display of precious stones was more magnificent than «'ver, while indoors with morning gowns and outdoors with rich furs a rich profusion of jewelry was worn. Long earrings still have a certain prestige. They seem to <_(o with mummy dresses and turban coiffures. Cameos, discarded since early Victorian days, have come back. A cameo brooch can be of shell or the more costly onyx, and it can have belonged to a maternal grandparent or have been recently purchased, but it must be present in some form. Pendants of these ornaments in their original massive and florid settings are seen, while impossibly large cameos are set in bonbon boxes and hung from neck chains or waistbands. Bangles are numerous in all styles, from plain gold tu gem ■-tarred, and dozens are worn ou each wrist. It. is always said, of course, that this craze for jewelry was imported by the American contingent in London, but if ii was the English woman has certainly adopted it with as much facility as she has recently adopted the bizarre and extreme French styles which n lew years ago would have aroused her disdain. A wide border of wild geese done in satin stitch, iven- sington outline and long ami short stitch make a handsome portiere. Drapery effects are progressing in dressy costumes, taking the form of real or simulated tunics, long full draperies, panniers, senrflike folds, etc. Black nnd white are attractively combined iu many of the new jabot effects, the black usually taking the form of «atiB pipings, jet buttons and tiny buckles. Roman and Italian blankets are used partly as a decoration and partly as a necessity. They are obtainable in college colors. A girl having a blanket kimono last year while at. college said it proved the most useful article she hail, Often while studying the room would not be warm and she found the big kimono was cosy ami warm, so she often donned it when studying. Every girl likes to wear thin lingerie waists, and only tho cost of having them laundered prevents the majority front wearing them constantly. And yet, if a girl will give time to the task, such waists may be washed and ironed at home for comparatively little money. Of course, tailored waists that require starching must be sent to the laundry, but such fabrics as madras and cotton crepe are not difficult to launder at borne, because no chemicals which lessen the strength of the threads are used. In the average laundry the aim is, of course, to get best results with a minimum of lime ami labor, consequently chemicals for preserving the whiteness of the fabrics are employed. It goes without saying that sheer waists washed ami iron od in a laundry will be injured still more than substantial fabrics, so for'this reason alone girls should make tho attempt at home denning. For a trial at home laundering wash and iron a mull waist. It requires no standi, and after a little practice with unstarched waisfs a person gains a little knowledge of how to iron starched blouses. For example, a girl discovers the knack of getting the iron into the tops of the sleeves nnd how to press tinks and hems, besides a few minor points, all without injury to the garment being ironed. Experimenting with starched clothes is rather difficult, because the iron sticks, ".smuts" nre apt to transfer themselves from iron to waist, and othor ills often happen. SILK AND CRETONNE TOILET CASES FOR the dressing table or travelling bag a compact little hairpin case can be easily made that will prove most useful for any one who euros to keep all her belongings in neat order. A small, round box, not more than threo inches long by two in diameter, is first covered with u pretty chintz or silk, all joining of the material hidden with a narrow gilt braid or lace. Inside the box arc next fitted snugly seven little round hairpin boxes, the lids, ot course, being left off. These cases arc all of material which carries out the color scheme of the room, One of the newest of these boxes is a double glove case; in other words, a long box, with a partition in the centre, so that long ami short, gloves may be kept separate, or thu white gloves kept noatlv on one side and the dark ones in their own partition. Any cardboard box of right proportions (about seven by fourteen inches) can lie divided by placing a strip of cardboard cut from another box down ihe centre, gluing it firmly at both ends. This box is then lilted with china silk or wilh chintz ami covered ou the outside with whatever material is desired. Even if there is no space i'nr a bookcase in her room there is surely space on some shell' or table where some few books can be kept. Instead of just piling Iheni together a wooden rack should be bought and covered with eifher wall paper or, preferably, chintz or Bilk, This rack with its Utile row of books that are being read will bo an ornament wherever it stands, whether shelf, fable or desk. There are two thiugs more which a girl should make for horsolf from the pieces of chintz or cretonne left over from ihe hangings of her room. One of these is a bag for stockings yd n. be darned, ihe other a small bag iu which soiled handkerchiefs cau be kept neatly togother ami not lost or mixed with those of the other members of Die family when soal downstairs to the laundry. A girl whose room boasts of a large, light hanging chisel with a number of conveniently placed shelves is much to be envied, for it is easy to be orderly when there is a place in I nt everything. 'If the hanging closet is not large it is to be hope.) that therefore at. least two chests of drawers in the room so that plenty of space can be set apart for tiie boxes containing all the noccssary accessories—collars, belts, veils, stockings, gloves, ribbons, handkerchiefs, etc., etc., ail of which are so important to the girl who delights iu being ns well gowned as her allowance will permit. If there is not suflieieiil space iu the high chest of drawers or on the closet shelf for all her boxes, then a utility case or stand of boxes should lie bought. These stands are" to be hnd in practically any width und height desired, so thai often such a stand will fil iu a corner that could be used for no other purpose. The frame part of white enamel and the boxes all of fhe chintz with which the room is hung make an extremely pretty piece of furniture. While some of these stands are made only for the size boxes in which veils, gloves, etc., cau be kept, others, again, are large enough to hold waists, and perhaps underclothes, while some of these stands are fashioned with boxes of varied size, one large enough for a hat, others for the small accessories, and, below these, two or three long boxes for the separate boilices and the lingerie.

Cold baths are invigorating, but they do not cleanse the skin and its pores to any great extent, So many women have developed foot troubles during re cent years that more attention is paid to the subject, and it is recommended that the feet be massaged carefully ut night, with certain exercises to make them supple, that will overcome the effect of the shoes that women are now compell ed to wear. Few women are aware that one of the best remedies for the teeth is common baking powder. Ft is used like any tooth powder, ou a wet tooth brush. Be careful to scrub well inside the mouth, especially at the back. The taste of the soda is unpleasant at first, but great improvement can tit once be noticed ou the teeth. Power to sec things clearly at a distance is impaired by H Straw Hat with Ostrich Feather devoting the eyes too greatly to rending or oilier pursuits in which the objects seen are close to the eyes. All persons who use their sight in this way should try to counteract the effect by striving to distinguish distant objects. Neither in short sight nor long sight is there of necessity any inferiority of the eye tissues. The fault is solely in the shape of the or gans, which changes alter the focussing power. Too much reading presses the eye out of shape. A CASE FOR OVERSHOES TilK modern girl knows well the risk in ever getting her feet wel, and always keeps a pair of rubbers or tips near at band, in travelling it is especially necessnry to be provided against a sudden shower, und there must surely lie space left in the suit case or hand bag for a pair of overshoes. Neat little cases can now bo bought in which the rubbers can he most, conveniently packed, and these bags are infinitely better than wrapping paper. A rubbers case can be made easily of chintz or linen to correspond with the rest of the cases iu the bag. If intended for tips a small square envelope shaped bug is best, but overshoes take up less room if laid flat. An oblong envelope like that for the brush ami comb is best. The chintz, linen or whatever material is used is first lined with a rubber sheeting ami then the two bound all around with ribbon or silk. Often in travelling it is not possible to wash off the overshoes before putting them in their case, and for this reason rubber lining is used, which can bo washed off, Oil silk cau also be used for the lining, and is, of course, lighter iu weight than the rubber sheeting. A loop and lnrge button fasten the flap of the envelope. If there are many cases of dilVerent kinds in the bug then each case should have written on it what it is to contain. TOBACCO FORTUNES In recent years the public has gained some idea of the immense fortunes made by the best-known tobacco mnnufae- furors, but tho will of Sir Edward Wills, just proved, wilh its total of over $13,500,000, stands an ea'sv first, with the exception of that of his hrnilicr, the late .Sir' Frederick Willi, who left nearly $lfi,000,000. Mr. G, Hatfield, of Tnddv's, died worth over $0,600,000; Mr. John IJigndt left noarlv $2,500,000, ami Mr. (leorgo Cope made $1,200,000 out .,'f UNITED STATES NEW INFANTRY EQUIPMENT THE new equipment for the United States Infantry will prove a boon to the soldier in the field. This has been the study of Ihe .special army board for the several past, months, ami a practical test at field manoeuvring by the soldiers equipped with the new outfit has thoroughly demonstrated its worth. The equipment has been devised with every consideration of economy in cost and reduction in weight, und adds materially fo tlie soldier's personal move ments, while at the same time means have beeu adopted for relieving him of that part of the burden from which he needs to sepurate himself in the field. The new equipment accomplishes a saving iu weight in the burden of the foot soldier of ten pounds. Its principal feature is tho pack, which consists of a cylindrical roll of canvas worn vertically on (he back of the soldier. This contains the blanket, poncho, rations, and so on. It is adjusted so as to minimize the weight, and is affixed to the body iu such u way that the "comforts" may be speedily released by pulling a string and leaving that part of the pack on the field, suitaoly numbered for subsequent indentification. All that then remains on the shoulders is that part of the haversack containing the necessaries in the shape of food and water. Another feature of the outfit is made up of the surplus kit. one for each squad of a corporal and seven men, ami containing the extra pair of shoos, a pair of slippers or gymnasium shoes (u new articlo), the extra blanket, and n combination "hussif," instead of the individual article, A new bayonet senb- bttrd has been devised and will bo carried on the pack, tho idea being to take away from the body all dangling articles. The soldier's blouse is to bo abandoned, and in its [dace is suggested a moderately heavy sweater, to be made with an opening for chest exposure. It is claimed that this garment iu connection with the shorl jacket will afford a better facility for marching than does the present-uniform. MAKING HATS FASHIONABLE IT is said that one Do Villiers, n Poor, was the man to introduce hats among the South African natives, and that profit, not philanthropy, was his motive. It appears that, chancing to come across a consignment of damaged hat iu Port Elizabeth, which wore offered for a mere song. Do Villiers bought tin whole lot, packed them away in bis wagon, and started for Kallirland. When he reached Teuibulaiid he loaded his stock, opened his kegs of liquor, without which no trade was made at thut time, and began business. Put he found his venture likely to prove unprofitable. The natives did not want hats; thoy wanted blankets and beads nnd looking-glasses, and above all liquor, but they looked askance nt the bats. Then a bright idea came to De Villiers. He wanted to introduce those hats. He did introduco thorn, His simple expedient was to refuse to sell anything to u Knflir unless he bought, a hat, too. The Kaffirs wanted his goods, so thev bought the hats. When n Kaflir buys anything he feels bound to make use of it. The natives, therefore, donned their headgear and returned to their kraals. Now appeared | the brilliancy of the tra Fashion rules the world. It iu Africa as in America, those who stayed ut bonie sa oilers return in all the git strange covering they felt and old-fashioned.

"At this point we decided tn leave our mules uud steal up un the elephant: Occasionally wo would dii4ti$a t try to locate them, but w ri'nally we thought that COW them, when we were startle awful rumble, ne thought that the elephants had got our scent and had boned, and that the stampede had caused the sound.

This was gratifying, too, for it indicated to us that the elephants were at ease and unaware of our approach. "I ascended a big tree to locate the herd before going further, ami saw the wonderful sight of ten elephants feeding not more than a hundred yards away.

"I thought my porch on the tree was out of the danger zone in case of a charge by the elephants, but when I Saw tlie bull which 1 had selected fur extermination reach up eighteen feet into the branches uf a nearby tree for forage and bring down a big branch without any trouble 1 thought it best to mount a little higher. 1 did, but as the tree was not a very high one I could not go up very far. I lVlt, though, that 1 was ont of the range of the elephant's trunk should he see inc. This incident impressed me with the mighty power locked up in an elephant. I recalled how exhibitions of strength given by elephants in circuses had impressed me but I shuddered at ihe thought of a power that might be directed against me later. "I then drew a bead on tins big fellow's brain and fired. Tin1 brain is a very small area in tlie wide expanse of an elephant's head, and is about as difficult to hit as the bull's-eyo of a target. The big bull turned and bolted, and X know 1 had missed his brain. "Members of the rest of the party un the ground nearby took shots at ihe fleeing animal. One of the shots took effect in the back of the elephant's neck, as a small cloud of dust asconded from his hide when flu- bullet struck, but ueillier shot seriously wounded him. "By chance we happened lo look on tlie oppOBlto hillside and were astonished to BOO the whole hillside moving with a herd of more than two hundred elephants, their white tusks glistening iu the sun as they moved along. In a short time they were out of sight. >\'e sent a guide aflci them and in a few minutes he returned saying tiiey were coming back. We prepared to meet them and could hear Ihe crashing of the branches ns tlu^v ploughed along. Wc had moved about a hundred yards from the dead elephant and could hear the herd thundering nearby. Hut it wus impossible to see them on account of the heavy foliage. "I climbed a tree and saw the whole herd pass not more than a hundred and fifty yards from me, but could not get a line ou any choice tuskers on account of their being massed. 1 got down from tho tree, joined tlie party and followed along to one side in the rear of the Hying herd. After travelling some distance I climbed another tree and could hoc them about five hundred yards off, down a hollow packed with dense bush and trees. "We decided it would be folly to go into such a place for the elephants, whore we couldn't see six feet ahead. While I was watching from the tree I saw a cow and a calf .just across a little opening and the heads and hats of three white men occasionally bobbing up. 1 thought they would get into trouble with the mother cow. Then I loBt sight of elephants and men. A little later I saw tho men stalking a single young bull.

Some had their trunks up and were pointing at me. and even went so far as to leave the line and come toward me tu try to get my scent. I was iu plain view of thorn, and am sure some of them saw me, but not having my scout they con hi not make me out. "As thoy continued to pass I was comparatively easy, but when I chanced to look around and saw the front of the column swing and come straight hack toward my tree, 1 became somewhat uneasy. There they were on two sides of me, coining straight for the tree. 1 felt sure they had sighted me and came to get me nut.

It is potent in vast possibilities. Here, to the mind of the votary of medicine, may surely be found relief from every ache aud pain, and certain specifics which may be relied upon to check Instantly the insidious attack of disease. Without a druggist's glittering sanctuary to flee to life would be a desert of lurking danger to a very large proportion of the human family which now finds its stay and comfort iu physic. i'hysieians themselves are well aware of the comparatively limited curative power of medicines.

The best doctors are slow to administer medicine of any great strength, except in serious emergency. They earn thei fees, and earn them well, not by dosing their patients with strong drugs, but rather by advising them as to their f living, insisting upon pure air, proper diet, and reasonable exercise. Most of them would give even less medicine if they dared, and many of the more successful practitioners would gladly throw a large part of the physic to the dogs, relying more upon natural agencies for cure, were it not that the average patient would rebel, lie demands something more tangible than good advice—something to take that will make him well; a specilic, a panacea, and the physician would be bold indeed who had'ihe courage to tefl his patient to quit dosing himself entirely and seek recovery by observing certain rules of living. The prescription therefore ordinarily accompanies the good advice, but doubtless it is frequently innocuous, urn) the cure, if effected, is due fur more to observing the advice than taking the medicine. Il is (lie mystery ol' medicine that appeals to Ihe believer iu it. The unknown lias a charm which the familiar lacks. The great popularity of patent medicines lies in the secrecy which attends their manufacture, The gullibility of the public iu this regard is undoubtedly a survival of ancient barbaric faith iu the potency of the witch's brew for evil and the power of the love philter to bring happiness, Civilization and enlightenment spread from ago to age, but always there is a large proportion of the world's population, outwardly, perhaps, above the influence of superstition, yet nevertheless invariably clinging with stubborn tenacity to fragmentary instincts inherited from ancestors, ages back, who attached great importance to medicinal concoctions brew- od in remote caves or hidden glens by mysterious wizards and witches reputed wiser than their fellow-beings in the secrefs of ront and herb. " Double, double, toil and trouble; fire bum and caldron bubble," chanted Macbeth's witches, tho patent inediciuo manufacturers of their time, and then, as now, there were not lacking thoso willing to accept their mysterious compounds.

This time it went with snail-like slowness, feeling its way over the stage with sensitive antennae waving in every direction till it was stopped abruptly by a small, but apparently insurmountable, obstacle. That was the breakfast scene. It was all too brief for versimilitude, and the burden of breaking it up fell upon the child actor, The manager rose in his seat, with arms extended like a prophet of evil, and shouted: "That scene will fall dead flat if the boy can't choke on his glass of milk hard enough to make everyone jump up from the table!" Immediately everyone jumped up from the table and gathered around the child actor, to show him how to choke. "Perfectly," exclaimed the author, "if they were only trying to stop instead of start, him," "Yes," retorted the manage^ "Ihey'II never do it that well to-morrow night, even if the poor kid should choke to death by any chance." But the child actor proved incapable of more than a mild cough or two. The little director, extending one hand aud running the other through his hair, descanted shrilly, down in front, on the art of choking as distinct from coughing. Then he himself rushed through the box door, up on the stago took the child actor's seat at, the table, and gave a perfectly horrify ing exhibition of choking. The more the director choked, the less could the child actor, till he began to choke down tears, and then, in sheer desperation, and some pity, the director clambered over fhe footlights into the orchestra, and said, resignedly: "Well, go on with the act!"—Robert. SIoss, iu Harper's Weekly. FOILING SIR WILLIAM ANEW aud amusing story of Sir William Van Homo is told by Norman Rankin in the July issue of Canada Monthly. It seems that when Sir William was constructing the Cuba Railroad ho decided to install a typical railroad hotel in Camaguey, midway of tho island, and with his keen eye for detail ho had an idea as to its decora tiou. "Why not fit up one of the parlors," said he, "with panellings of tho beautiful native woods of tho island? It seems to me that such a room would interest visitors greatly, and give a handsome effect." •' Fine," said everybody, and his suggestion was carried out lo the letter. Next time he arrived in Camaguey, the hotel was practically complete, and .Sir William recollected his hardwood room, "Yes, it was there," said everybody, but with a singular lack of enthusiasm. "I should like to see it," suggested Sir William mildly. "Certainly, oh certainly," said everybody, and hastily changed the subject. Sir William was deaf, dumb and blind to tho beauty of the weather, tho excellence of the service, and the sudden death of everybody's grandmother. Ho wanted to see that hardwood roon, and with drooping ears everybody, checkmated, led him to it. It had been panelled iu all the different varieties of beautiful native hardwoods, according to schedule, from ceiling to floor. It had given a beautiful effect, ns Sir William had foreseen. And then a gang of painters, putting finishing touches on halls and corridors, had wandered in, observed its paintless- noss, and given it two heavy coats of ivory wdiite. Like the black on the darky, it wouldn't wash off. and ivory-white that parlor is to this day. Vfilis was getting ready to go out. I waited till it had started and was slow ly'gliding off; then, taking a little run, ©■flumped on the footboard and slipped inside the car. 1 had many narrow cSoupes during the following five years, but nothing (f^cr f<lV|ty><j -iot^wvdui, excitement the first five minures of first "stolen ride." I did not always ride iu freight trains, but there is less room and less concealment on a passenger train. In the latter, of courso, the free-rider has to be much more on the look-out. The favorite hiding placo on a passenger train is in i'rout of the first car, wdiere the utilised gangway juts out towards the tender. Here a certain amount of heat comes from the engine, and the tender affords protection against wind und cold, but woe betide the luckless free-rider when the engine starts taking water up from tho trough as it goes along. He suddenly finds himself enveloped in a shower-bath, and he may have to travel all the rest of the night soaked to the skin. The railway companies do their best to check free-ridiitjr., of course, and employ special watchers. As these men are paid so much for every free-rider they catch, when one falls into their hands one cannot expect much mercy from them, but tho actual guards of the trains are not, as a rule, very hard on anybody they happen to discover stealing a ride. For my own part I never had to suffer the threatened thirty days' imprisonment, though once or twice, in spite of all my precautions, 1 was caught.. The first time, I remember, was during a journey iu an empty freight car. [ was travelling through the night, as usual, but I had been unable to fall asleep, so believing that all the railway men would be in the caboose at the end of tho train, I took out my violin and began to tune up. Unfortunately, however, ono of the men happened to have come along into the next car, aud when his ear caught the notes of the violin above tho rumble of tho train be thought it was something that called for immediate investigation. I was caught red-handed, of course, and taken to the caboose. They were very good fellows, however, and instead of handing me over to the authorities they gave mo a good supper and made me comfortable for the rest of the night. Another time I had a still narrower shave. I was caught aud taken to the police station. The sergeant asked all about me, what I did for a living. where I was going, am! so mi. "I like to hear a good violin," lie said, when I told him I was a violinist.

After that we got so friendly that he let me go, In the course of my wanderings I arrived in Chicago, where I seemed to fall in luck's way. I had a continuous run of engagements, and I began to get known. As a consequence when 1 left Chicago I bought my first railway ticket. It was a curious experience, for I scarcely knew how to behave as a legitimate passenger, and it was something of a shock to find myself sitting on soft cushions instead of clinging to the gangway and ready to jump at any minute. It was a still greater shock when the conductor came along and called me— ir!" PHOTOS AND PICTURES Tho Difference Between Them is Very Clearly Given in an Article in the London Times ffTHE essential difference between a J- photograph and a picture has never, probably, beeu stated more clearly than it was iu an article on "Photographs and Pictures" iu a re cent number nf the London Times, and in the following words: There is, of course, no absolute standard of truth iu representation. But photography has supplied us with a kind of representation in which the mind of man, with its preferences, its emphasis, and its inaccuracies, plays no part; and wo are growing to regard its standard ns absolute, and to test what we call the truth of pictures by it. In this we aro wrong, for the truth of all art is in its essence emotional, not representative; the truth of a picture is sincerity, like the truth of music. Its value consists not iu trustworthiness of information, but in genuineness of emotion. Certainly the sincere artist will not pretend to greater powers or representation than lie possesses. Like the sincere writer, he will not set down more than he knows; for in representative art expression is only possible through knowledge, Therefore, in sincere art wc always find an accuracy and precision of statement which we call truth. But the artist is really telling the truth about himself rather than bout the world outside him. The photograph, if It tells truth at all, fells it about the exterior world, aud we lue it for the authenticity of its information. If it has any emotional effect upon us, it is only through association and because it reminds us of real things lliat stir emotions in us. The picture is not a reminder, but a new creation, with an original emot ional power of its own that does not depend association. And if it. does not possess this power it is nothing. If we re right in preferring the simple to the pictorial photograph, we are still more iglil in preferring Hie photograph to the photographic picture, l-'or no picture has the authenticity of n pantograph, the kind of authenticity thnt would bo valuable as evidence in a j Court of law. Therefore, when it aims at this kind of authenticity it is simply inferior to a photograph, just as a photograph that aims al pictorial qualities is simply inferior to u true picture. Photographs and pictures each have their own peculiar interest, and if wc confuse them we only confuse our own minds and pervert our own taste.

Appropos of this nappy announcement, Dr. Worthington suit) at a dinner iu Boston: "So they who frown ou the kiss aro too exclusive. They are, in fact, as bad as old Dr, Thompson, of Cambridge University. "Dr. Thompson thought that Cambridge was the finest, university iu the world. Her rival, Oxford, he despised and abominated, "Once, at n dinner, a lady said to the exclusive old man: " 'I understand, sir, that the attendance at Oxford has fallen off tremendously. How do you account for it, sir?' " 'It must be due,' said Dr. Thompson, gruffly, 'to the increase of emigration among the lower classes.' " II Tin: isi.ANnF.n, cuMivEtiLAND, B.C.
