The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

This was, however, the first visit of Mr. Spence's co-entertainer, Miss Nannie Straeh- an .and as was very evident before the programme-'had far advanced, she won a very high position in the estimation of our music-loving people. Miss Strachan can rank with the (inost singers' that have ' ever, sung here, and last evening several of her Scottish solos fail ly captured the listeners, and on every appearance she was greeted by loud applause.

He was repeat edly encored for this item. Two diuctt were sung, and each rendered in the best manner. The duets were '.When Ee Gang Awa', Jamie' and the 'Crooket Bawbee.'

Angell, writing Dumb',Animals," says: A writer the North Aimerican Review, Arthur- Mark Cummings, under the heading. "The Death Instinct in Animals,'' gives a case of what senilis to have* been "transference of thought" between a cow and her calf. 1-Je says: "The fawner who owned them kept the calf in his "h.irn, but drove the cow to -a distant pasture c\t>ry morn ing with the rest of the herd. She soon lieeame reconciled to the arrangement, and was accustomed to feed quietly until it was lime to le- turn to her call! Que day (lie faring er killed the calf suddenly and painlessly. There was no outcry; no chance for the cow lo see the deed. She was at a distance from the barn, which apparently precluded the possibility of her knowing what had been done. Vol, n0 sooner was the! calf dead than she left her grazing' with the rest of (he hrrd, and came' up to the barn lowing- and showing every symptoms of uneasiness. There she stayed from noon till milking time, moving about restlessly as she had never done before. There was no communication possible so fas as human senses could perceive between mother and offspring; yet there is no. doubt that Ihe cow had some . dim knowledge, and that she suffered more than, the calf did." Mt. Cummings gives a couple of other' in- stiUnces of what lie calls ''-di.y'lili instinct" in animals, one of which seems to point to " transference of { thought" between a man and a tor-| toise.shell, eat. he was about, iulcill. I This seems to correspond with the mysterious impressions lliat human ; beings not infrequently .have when! their friends at a distance die.
