EX-GOVERNOR MACKINTOSH The Conservative Candidate for Kooteday, Gives Emphatic Denial to Reports Circulated Concerning: Him. Ex-Governor Mackintosh has re- turncd from a trip through the Trout Lake district and will go there again shortly. For the past two days he has been visiting the electors of Revelstoke and met with a most encouraging reception. To a Hiirald representative he expressed regret that a statement had been circulated with a view ;.to influencing certain interests against him, to the effect that he had prompted the great strike at Rossland sonic three years ago. Nothing could be more false, nothing more unjust. He had espoused the cause of the men because no one else seemed willing to fairly represent their case in England., lie was not'in Rossland when the strike took .place, but went tliere immediately after, having received a cable from London requesting him to report upon the whole question. He did so and subsequently urged Mr. Frechville, who came out as was represented, to settle the difficulty, but, in reality, made things worse, for he even declined to discuss the issue, although making an appointment to receive a deputation, and subsequently treating rall concerned with scant courtesy. ' '\"Under similar circumstances\" Mr. Mackintosh said: \"I would do precisely what I did then. Certainly my action I was not - influenced by political motives. I believe in the maxim ' live and let live.' and any individual or individuals in a community having a grievance to redress will, I. hope, always iind a friend and advocate ia me. As to politics���������I am a Conservative as you know���������but I sbali be for British Columbia before party, nor will I support any government that refuses to: protect and foster- the lumber industries of British Columbia; that ignores the iron and steel industries for which there is a great opening in East Kootenay, or is indifferent to British Columbia's pica for better terms. That is iny platform, whether Sir WilfridLaurier or Mr. Borden is in power. I am a supporter of Mr. Borden in his policy of the people running their own railway.\" BLAIR WITH THE TORIES Resigns Chairmanship of Railway commission���������Will Tour the couutry in Opposition to Government Railway Policy. AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT By Mr. Borden, Liberal-Conservative Leader Regarding; Railway Construction���������Better Terms for British Columbia. 1 ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** mmFm ***** ***** *' X Jr^Tr^Ii 1 J,���������J,* *X,* *3i* * Ottawa, Oct. -18.���������Mr. A. G. Blair telegrapher Sir Wilfrid Laurier tonight that! he hud resigned from his position-as Chairman of the Railway Commission. Hoi at tho same time forwarded his resignation to the Gov- ernor-Genei\"������l-in-Coimcil. This was done inimediately/'after'tho meeting of the Board .'today, when Mr. Blair announced his intention of resigning his fiosition. He said that:it would bc the ast- session of the Commission at which he would occupy the position of Chairman ..'or be\", a member bf the Board. ,He expressed regret at purt- ing with'his colleagues. It will be remembered that Mr. Blair resigned the portfolio of Minister of Railways' in the'Laurier Government, and was ��������������������������� afterwards given the position of Chairman of thc Railway Commission; Mr. Blair says he is going to take a more profitable position, but refuses to say what it ii; at any rate he does not so back to political life. It is said, however,-that Mr. Blair's intention is to address a series of meetings ih opposition to the Government's policy, which he considers un absolute peril and menace\" to the prosperity of the country. After this he will, with his son, enter upon the practice of the law in Monti'eal. LOOKING FOR CASH IN U. S. Wrestling Match, There was a large gathering at the Opera House last night to .^s'ee. the wrestling match between Chris Person of Tacoma, Wash., champion of California and J. D.McLennan, of.;' Revelstoke, amateur champion of British Columbia. According to the terms of the match, Person undertook to throw McLennan three times in one hour or forfeit $50, Police Gazette rules to govern. The curtain rose sharp at 9 o'clock, when Mr. R. Gordon in a few timely remarks.-. introduced the combatants and announced the conditions, of the match. Mr. Joe McCrum, of Kamloops, made an efficient and impartial referee. Harry McCoy acted as second for Person, and T. J. Wadman , performed a similar office for McLennan. Dr. Sutherland was chosen time keeper s_-=^ -===^==^ When the men entered the ring, each was given a splendid reception- Mr. McLennan of course being a local mnn was more popular with the large audience, but the gentlemanly bearing of his opponent also drew forth the admiration of the spectators, During the early part of the match McLennan acted entirely on the defensive nnd time and time again broke away from his opponent when it looked as though he would be forced to go to the mat, After struggling for 30 minutes Person secured an inside ciotcli and half nelson hold and succeeded in obtaining the flrst fall. After a few mlnntea rest the combatants went' at it again and as pretty an exhibition of the grand old art of wsestling as could be wished for followed. This time McLennan., acted a little on the aggressive and on several occasions it looked as though he would succeed in obtaining a fall out of hts opponent, but Person cleverly eluded him. On tho other hand try as he might Person could not get a cinch on McLennan and time was called amid great cheering for the local champion.. Person, although a stranger here, received a good share of applause, and while he certainly showed himself to be a first-class wrestler, McLennan also demonstrated his ability at the game, The match throughout was conducted }n ft. very manly spirit, and at the conclusion each man bad a greater respect for his opponent.- The large audience, among whom we were pleased to notico a number of ladies, were well satisfied with the exhibition and shewed their appreciation by frequent applause. Person leaves to-night for the coast where he, has a match arranged for the 23th. It is quite possible he may return here later, when another match may be arranged between he and Mr. McLennan. Should he do so we can guarantee him a good reception as by his gentlemanly manner throughout the contest he made quite a few friends in the city.

Mukden, Oct. 18.���������The battle of Shakhe River hus obviously resulted in a Japanese viotory, and to-day's despatches confirm the news of Saturday and Sunday that Kuropatkin's defeat was crushing. His offensive movement failed utterly. But it is apparent that even in his retreat he is battling stubbornly and (inflicting severe losses on the Japanese, while he himself is sustaining casualties that are described as \"appalling.\" Latkr���������The Russian forces at 11 o'clock this morning penetrated the Japanese centre and it is reported captured 11 or 12 guns and ISO prisoners east of the railway. At another point during the day the Siberian regiments took 24 Kims, Tho Japanese after a terrifically stubborn resistanco were compelled to retire along thoir whole line, losing .heavily. In one trench there were 600 corpses of the Japanese. In spite of this the Japanese were undaunted. They have brought.up siege guns and have left no stone unturned to retain the mastery of the situation. Every step the Russians have pushed forward to-day h^a boon in the face of a stubborn resistanoe that has cost them very dear. i FoLMMdmiS Men HATS AND CAPS Our Hats and Caps are like like the Japs��������� ty ty if i'f ty On .Top���������we can supply you with all kinds.

Why Is the Heir Presumptive Called the Prince of Wales ? Wales was nominally a principality of tlio kingdom when ISdwurd I., also culled Edward tho Crusader, returned from tho Holy Land, and it had its own lino of Princes and was practically. Independent. Tho \"Nor- liuiii rulers of England hud several times Invaded tho country, hut the sturdy Welshmen had not boon subdued. Edward's chief ambition after his experience- in foreign- wars was thu subjugation of Wales und Scotland. Jn pursuing tliat ambition ho begun with Wulcs. Llcycllyn, tho contemporary Princo, had boon captive in his youth in tho hands of Edward's fa thar, Henry III. Later ho was a supporter, ot Simon do Montfort, who was tho real ruler of England for several years during tho latter part of llonry's reign, and was overthrown and slain by Edward at thc battlo of Evesham. After tho battle, Llewellyn promised fealty to Henry, beforo Edward sot out on liis crusade. Edward summoned him as a vussul to his coronation in August, 1274, but ho refused to attend because- not guaranteed safo' conduct. Several other summonses wero treated in like manner, but,Edward, who was crafty, instead of at' onco making war, resorted to..strategy.-. ��������� Llewellyn was betrothed to Eloan- orn, the young daughter of do Montfort, a first cousin of the King. Elcaiiora's mother died on the Continent in 11275, and in the following year sho sailed for Wales With her brother Almoric. Edward intercepted the vessel off tho Scilly Islands and carried his two cousins to London. Llewellyn was served witli another summons, but ho again refused to obey, though ho boldly demanded thc rclcaso of HIS PROMISED UlliDE.'. ''.\" Edward then declared his lands forfeited and within a 3'oar' led an army into Wales. Ho overran tlie country, secured the support of Llewellyn's brother Pavid, who had a grievance about his patrimony, and stripped Llewellyn of everything but his titlo ancl the limited sovereignty of Snowr den und thc lslo of Anglesey. Under penalty of a greater tribute than hc could hope to pay, Elcanora was surrendered to him, and they woro married before Edward and his Court at Worcester in 1278. Fivo years later, however, Llewellyn was again in revolt. 'Edward led a large army into Wales, but was not conspicuously successful until Llewellyn was killed in a skirmish. Hi.s heud was sent to Edward, who placed it on tho walls of tho tower of London, crowned with an ivy wreath, in mockery of a prediction of Merlin that when tho English money should become circular, the Princo of Wales.should bo crowned in London. Edward soon reduced the country after Llewellyn's death, and he established his residence for a time ut Caernarvon Castle to personally conduct the pacification of th'o country. He hail his Qucon with him, tho heroic wpman who liad Saved his lifo in Palestine, by sucking a-wound inflicted by thc poisoned dagger of an assassin. At Caernarvon on April 25, 3 2S4, was horn his son and heir, Edward of Caernarvon, eventually thc weak and contemptible Edward II. With a, view to knocking tlio last prop from under liie founda- tho King commanded that tho infant Edward should have tho - titlo of Princo of Wales. And so. after all, was fulfilled tho prophecy of- Merlin, thc seer. OAN YOU KISS YOUR TOE? LESS THAN ONE IN FOUR MEN CAN DO THIS. Some Feats Which Are Easy to: Some, But Impossible] to Others.

In fact, thc mounted polico of Canada have since thoir organization presented a fascinating interest to civilization peculiarly their own. There is no othor instance in tlio empire building rc.'ord of the British people where so small a body of armed men have accomplisKcil so much with so little actual report to arms. Famed in song and story as lho explorers of Princo Rupert's Land and tho preservers of the peace of a domain as wide as from tho Missouri River to the Pacific Qccan and from. New Orleans to Boston, this splendid army of vctoian fighters was constructed upon a nucleus of bu.t three liimdrcd plainsmen. It is an alluring story for tho English' speaking world to contemplate. Tho reign of the Canadian police extends ovcr a hostile country lying between the forty-ninth and sixty-first parallels of latitude and \"the 101st and 13 6th degrees of -longitude. Today there aro twenty-four hundred members of tliis body. In 1S73; wlien tho force was organized, it consisted of three hundred. It was in tho following year Iliat the small army invaded the unknown Prince Rupert's Land, as all. this section was then known. For years the original'force-controlled . this colossal empire, iidiabiled by fierco tribes of Indian warriors and fiercer bands of white desperadoes. ��������� Tlie. gradual Increase of population necessitated adding to tlie force. - FAR NORTHERN BOUNDARY. HOUSEKEEPING HELPS. - Many kinds of provisions are cheaper when bought in quantities, and there is\" always comfort in having a supply at hand. Soap may bo bought by the box and tlie longer it is kept the better it will bo. Starch will keep indefinitely. Borax is a very useful article, and a box of it should bo found on.the shelves of every kitchen or pantry. It is good' for softening hard water, either for the toilet or laundry. Uso it liberally about the kitchen sink and it will remove all disagreeable odors. A strong, hot solution of borax and wator poured down the drain pipes purifies and disinfects them. There are many tasks that may be performed while .sitting down if one has an old olficc stool in the kitchen. If you havo a high chair for which you have no further use thc top may be sawed off, to mako a stool of it. Paring vegetables, ironing and wiping dishes aro not tiresome tasks when one sits down to do tliem. , ��������� , NOW THEY ARE STRANGERS.

From the American border on tho soutii to the Arctic Sea on tho north, a dhvloncc of two thousand miles, and from Manitoba on Uie east to British Columbia on thc west, a distance of eight hundred milos, theso men exorcise civic control. It wa.s to this veteran force that tlio empire appealed in its darkest moments, when the Boer sharpshooters were \"destroying the English regulars. Many oi the Canadian mounted riflemen who died at Heart's River and fought the republican forces at Spion Kop were drawn from those riders of the Western plains. It was this leaven that formed tho Canadian regiments sent to South Africa into such .a fighting corps similar in mobility and uccuracy of riflo to tho Boer commanders. A generation beforo the*! samo rough riders had been called upon for tho hard work in advance of British regulars in pill ting~down_thc_Riel���������rebellion���������in lhe Noithwo.st. These two flercn conflicts established thc met tie of these men, as a hundred fhurp battles with Indians and outlaws all over tho Northwest had before and since tested their red blood. As rapidly as tlio Territories aro organized tlio militia system supplants tho mounted police. Therefore thr.y will bo confined lo the Mackonvio land, Athabaska end tho unnamed region beyond tho inlets of the Arctic Ocean within a short time. To-day the outposts of civilization on Great Bear Lake and lhe valley of the \"Mackenzie Itiver, tho Mississippi of tho North, arc marked by tho presence of a singl.; red coat, nnd curious as it may appear, this lonely sentinel, tlie only symbol of British authority for hundreds of miles, i.s surTicient to preserve order among the \"lio.lt wild tribes who supply tho Hudson Bay Company with its \"fur treasure in that distant land. 'Jn Calgary, nearly two thousand miles from Chicago, the peoplo do not con-si/lor tliem'selvos 'nnywhero near tlio 1-order of civilization toward the North'. Hero is located lhc great barracks of - the police, but throe 'hundred miles north. Edmonton, a city of 10,000,- is'*\"lho northern terminus of tlie Canadian Pacific Ra>lroad. Then for ANOTHER THOUSAND MILES oidin.try commercial relations aro maintained through 1'hc chain, of Hudson. Bay trading posts. Not until that remote region is reached do Canadians begin to see the borders of I'heir empire. In fact tlie react! Hi vor country, that land of promise which i.s being sought by so many Americans to-day, Is fivo hundred miles north\" of Edmonton. Here tlio Americans aro to-day raising wheat nnd oats, in a land whore vegetation was a few years ago suppose:! to ho absolutely extinct. This gives an Idea of tlie tremendous B. C. Powers, tho old trader at Bon ton. to whoop up the supply. It was located at thc junction of tho Belly and St. Mary's rivers. Tho name was changed in (honor of COLONEL MACLEOD. The mounted police stations were gradually extended north. They reached tlie present site of Calgary, ono hundred and fifty miles north, t'ho following year, lt was here that a cuiious character of history was found���������Sam Livingston. Ho was located in a natural fort at tho confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers and deed out an existence trading with the Indians. Ho was an American, wiio had come West as a child with \"Kit\" Carson. Then and for ycais afterwarid Livingston claimed' absolute domain as far as his rifle would shoot in nny direction. The extraordinary character resides horo to-day, one of the ties that bind tho present witli the early part of tlie last century. It was sonic timo ago that tho old man mado a trip down to Winnipeg, a spot he ha'd not visited in seventy years. Ho declared that \"medicine\" had been put in his eyes when ho saw tho tall buildings. Ho witnessed the movements of an electric car then for tho first time, and again declared . it more \"medicine\" than real. Thc mounted police barracks at Calgary aro a spacious park, including many buildings.- Lieutenant Colonel Sanders is in command. Commissioner Perry resides ut Regina, capital of th'o Territories, six hundred miles further cast, but this is the important post, since it is the point wliero the Canadian Pacific Railroad lines cross for tlio cast and west, norlh and soutli. Tlio police are attired in cavalry trousers, a bright red tunic and whito helmet. They carry two. heavy revolvers and a Snidor carbine. Strung out in every direction ovcr thc plains, the polico arc prepared by this chain lo convoy news off thc railways witli re- marikable celerity. They ride in relays nnd couriers reacli the Arctic circles from tho American border easily at the rate of one hundred milos a day. Two score men arc maintained in tho Calgai-y barracks for emergency duly and are rushed ou in relays as desired. Regular military discipline is maintained and*any man permitting a prisoner to escape! It wns tlio dashing Mounted Polico Captain Penny who took from Sitting Bull tho huge gold watch tho old Indian chief had snatched from tlie still qutvoring corpse of llio daring Custer on tho bloody field of tho Ijttie Big Horn and returned it to Mrs. Custer. Tliotigli th'o Sioux liad just 'destroyed more than twice, as many fino cavalry troopers as Captain Penny confronted him with, his braves seemed cowed by th'o vcry knowledge of their bloody victory and ofTcroU no violence to the small body of Canadian polico. JUDICIAL FOWF.H. Tliose fighting men Have no authority within towns and cities through tlio Territories to mako arrests except wlien tho crimps aro committed beyond such municipal bounds. However, tliey act as a militia force, to be called In whenever tlie ordinary constabulary aro unablo to maintain order Tlie troopers do regular patrol work and ride by th\"ir chain Systran Trom the American line to thc Arctic circle in thoir relay system. It is one of llio marvels of t'he many curious things witnessed in tho Far NoitK���������the presence, of single red- coated men, grim and silent, keeping in check Hundreds arid even thousands of Indians and their wilder half-breed companions. It is thc certainty, however, iliat if violence is done one of t'hese men retribution is swift that gives tliem the amazing command of turbulent forces altogether out of proportion to their ability to enforce the laws. The police commissioner or highest officer present sils ns a court -ind disposes of nil cases brought by tlie scouts, with littlo regard for the hairsplitting technicalities of tlie legal fraternity. The. guilt or the innocence is determined not infrequently upon hearsay evidence, but it is eminently satisfactory to tlie law abiding pcoj'.la. The American settlors aro the loudest in their po-nisx; of this strange system that cmibraccs both' civil an'd criminal jurisdiction, with little liope of guilty men evading it. USED CORPSE LYMPH.

KOCH ON TRANSMISSION OP CONSUMPTION. Tho Finding of tho Royal Commission Is Not Ultimate Report. The Yorkshire, England. Post . says :��������� Far from being convinced bj- tha recent report of the Royal Commission on tuberculosis. Dr. Koch, in a privatu letter to Dr. G. A. Heron, ro-alfirms his belief with regard to human and bovine tuberculosis. Dr. Heron has obtained Dr. Koch's permission to send to tho Lancet tho following authorized translation of a, portion of lhe letter : lt will interest you to hear that tho experiments which wero mads at my suggestion in tho Imperial Institute of Public Health concerning human and bovjno tuberculosis aru practically complete, Mid quite bear out my views. These experiments wero carried out on such a numlier of animals and with so mucli caro that th'oy aio, I firmly believe, incontrovertible. Besides this, thceo experiments wero made during my absence, in Africa, and therefore wero not influenced by mo. They provo that bovine and human tuberculosis ara dillcrcnt from one anoher. Cattlo cannot be infected with bovine tuberculosis. This work will be published in detail in a few months. RESULT OF EXPERIMENTS. Dr. Heron points out that beforo Dr. Koch first broached his theory��������� Congress on Tuberculosis ia 1901���������ha submitted tlio experiments and evi- denca on which it was based to a, committee of acknowledged experts, of whom tho lato Prof. Virchow waa one. On tho other hand, says Dr. Heron, there has as yet been no publication nor, so far as the public know, any expert examination of tho experimental evidence ou which the Royal Commission bnse their dissent from Dr. Koch and their support of tha view almost universally held bcroro the London Congress.' Until such publication or examination takes place. Dr. Heron observes, \"thoso ablo to estimate tho worth oi cvidonco got by experiment con form, no opinion as to the valuo of tho experiments on which our commissioners hnvs founded their views\"��������� and \"it is probable wc sliall, when that time arrives, have additional important evidence for our guidance in coming to ,a definite conclusion\"' by tho detailed' publication of Dr. KocK'a expcriineals as indicated ia his letter. NOT ULTIMATE REPORT. It must bo remembered, that tho Royal Commission is still sitting,, and that the report already published is but an interim report. Its publication was justified by the need to give tho public at tiio earliest possiblo moment somo guidance as 'to a question affecting largo public interests, and when they wero onco conceived of tho general trend\" of tho evidence this could bo given, even though tho detailed report was then far from ready. Whilst, therefore, thero is little difficulty in showing that an interim.'report is not a. final report, and that specialists will require to await the latter before being convinced one way or another, it should bo remembered that there is - a considerable difference between tho conduct of experiments by a singlo person, and that by a Royal Commission. VALUE OF JUDGMENT. In the latter case the experiments are capable of being automatically checked by exports as they arc made, so that the more interim report of th'o Commission may be said, in a sense, to take equal rank with Dr. Koch's statement of his views, supported as he is by the endorsement of his experiments by thc experts to whom ho has submitted them. Tho general public, at any rate, will lw content, wo think, so far to accept the Commissioners' recent report\" as to hold not only tliat the burden of proof rests, as before, with Dr. Koch, but ��������� that even if the promised publication of his experiments, seems strongly to bear out his view, it will bc necessary to await, and to givo at least equal care and con������ -sidcrniion-to���������tho -final-repor.t_of_th������ Boyal Commission of eminent physi. cians over whom Sir Michael Foa< tor presides.

The road will be built at a minimum of cost, there will be no construction companies lo make a profit, and the sixteen million dollars in the value of Canadian exports ns compared with those of the fiscal year ending 1903. For the month of July, 1001. tho first month of tbe fiscal year ending June .'Will, 1905, there was a decline of $2,193,111) in the value of exports as compared with the same month of the previous year. The figures for August anel September have, not yet boen published by the Government and are not likely to be until after the elections. If the decrease shown in thu month of July continues throughout the twelve months the decrease in exports will be about thirty million dollars, making a decline of about forty-six million dollars in two years. Now if the Laurier Government are to be given credit for tbe increase of exports during the early years of Liberal administration thoy must take the blame for- tbe great decline during the closing years of Liberal rule.

MALAY SUPERSTITION. Believe the Crocodile Is a Spirit of the Water. Along the Jralaeca Straits the Malays still believe that many beasts arc sacred, and they aro particularly impressed with the belief that tho crocodile is a spirit of the water. Therefore, the.'.e ugly monsters aro not only extremely plentiful thero, but they are so daring that thoy make most of the waterways dangerous even for persons in boats. The ICnglishmeu who dwell in thai part of the country declare that hardly a week passes without the killing' of a native hy a crocodile. Tho brute swims slowly along behind tho i'i<:lo, flimsy canoos and dugouts used there and .suddenly (/witches his terrible tail around in such a way as to sweep the man out of tho boat into the water. lloto and there along the banks of \"tlie- black\" \"rivers wilFbo-\"Kvoii-s!li'ijis\" of while cloth and baskets full of fruit and rico, attached to trees or suppling.? closo to the water. These aro offering.'! made by tliu natives to some crocodile that has his haimt just under the. bank. Now and thon, however, a crocodile becomes so ferocious and kills so many persons that even thc superstitious natives feel it necessary to dispatch liim. Then they u.se an ingenious and curious method. Tbey mako a smnll bamboo raft about three feet square, and to this they attach a long ropo, mndo of loosoly- pleutod cotton. At the end is a huge hook, to tho shank of wliich they Ho -n livo chicken. They set the chicken on tho raft and shove it out into tho stream. Tho. poor fowl cackles and screams, trying l.o rolcasu itself from tlio lino; this' attracts the crocodile, .who darts at it and gulps it down. Tho next moment the raft bobs below tho surface. . Tho villagers follow.\"tho courso of thc raft as it goes down stream, and after ii day or two., when -tlie crocodile has'.-wearied himself -'thoroughly by bis struggles, they puddle out and haul it in. The- crocodile comes ashore \"without much fighting, and, is killod with ease. It is very rare for a .crocodile to escape once he has swallowed tho bait, for thc hook goes deep into his stomach and the loosely-pleated ropo is so Soft that the brute's tooth have no effect on it. Tlio reason many men get old is because Uiey get lar.y. This i.s also true of womon.

Tho London Daily Mall published tho following remarkable story:��������� kSomowhero on th'o vast grazing plains of Australia or Now Zealand farmers aro feeding tlieir flock's of sheep on pasture so auriferous that tho very animals show traces of tho outcrop of gold in th'elr tooth\". That, at least, seems to bo tho inference to bo derived from ovidenco which comes not from tho Antipodes in tho news of a fresh \"strilco\" of gold, but from that vast centre of teeming population in the Kost End of London kaown as Uethnal Green. In Hethnnl Green sheep's lieads are a luxury, even though tlioy Invariably are frozen imports from Australia und New Jienlnnd. To a medical man, Mr. H. tl.

A fow days ago ho was in the houso of a friend, n member of the local Council, when lie picked up tho jawbono-nf a sheep which hud boon picked clean by the Councillor's dog. It was only an idle act to tenso tho dog, but the doctor noticed a dull gleam of a bronze color on the teeth. ASSAYED AS GOLD. \"Why, that looks liko gold,\" ho said, after examining the teeth closely. They glistened dully with a coating of metallic, substance ..which shone above tlio blackening caused by tho saliva. The Councillor, who had enjoyed the sheep's head for supper the previous night, was genially sceptical. Hut the doctor removed the teeth, wliich had boon loosened by the dog, took them to his surgery and tested tho deposit of coating with aqua fortis. That gave tho result as pure gold. Next the teeth wore takon to a jeweler, who scraped off tho metal and submitted it to all tests known. Tho substance was then guaranteed to bo pure, fino gold. The plnce of origin of the sheep's head was easily traced���������to a continent, nt any rate. It was purchased of a local butcher, who bought it with many others in Smithfield Market. They had como in a frozen state, from Australia or Now Zealand. Evon in Smithfield it is difficult to traco the exact country of origin, for the heads como over separately from tho frozen carcases and aro collected from vast 'areas. Othor sheeps' heads were purchased at random from liothnal Green purveyors, and some of them exhibited traces of gold deposit on tho teeth in just the samo way. 'ITioy had all arrived from t'ho Antipodes. English anil Scottish sheeps' heads were obtained, but there was no trace of any auriferous deposit. Dr. Style's theory Is thnt somewhere in' the Antipodes sheep are being gra'/ed on soil so rich in alluvial gold that in short-cropping tho grass thoir teeth, by constantly coming in contact with the outcrop, gradually receive a deposit of puro gold. EVERYBODY BOUGHT. . In its issue of the 10th inst. The Dally Mail says that as a result of its announcement of tho previous day Uethnal Green woke to a desperate longing for sheeps' heads. It would have them at almost any price. Tho butchers wero astonished at this sudden development or taste* \"What's it all moan?\" asked ono perplexed meat purveyor, who, it turned out, shares with Mr. Balfour t'he distinction of not reading the papers. \"I've done nothing but servo 'jimmies' all tho morning,\" this being the affectionate diminutive of the sheep's head in circles where it is appreciated. \"Another butcher waxed humorous. \"Sow, ��������� ladics.\"::.ho shouted, '*who says ono of my gold-plate^ jimmies;- guaranteed 18-carnt, ond ;ch'6ck-full of it?\" Not only in\" Bcth'r.al* Green, but in Old.

Round the stalls there, and in tho cold-storage, groups could bo seen all tho morning, peering anxiously into t\"hij mouths of slieep for signs of a gold mine. Not all the teeth showed traces of any metallic deposit, which, it is suggested by a mining export from Australia, could not be gold, but is probably a discoloration of the enamel, such ns is sometimes seen In pearls.

It will not work out at anything like an ounce to tho sheep, for instance, and the wool and th'o mutton will remain the most profitable parts'of thc animal.

Dockyard and naval circles at Plymouth, England, have received with astonishment the announcement . bf the Secretary to the ' Admiralty in tho Houso of Commons that tho now Lord Nelson battJeships are to be of 16,500 tons displacement.\" \"Too big,\" is tho general criticism. ��������� K So long ago as September, after tho torpedo trials in connection with H.M.S. Eollislo, at Portsmouth,: it was thought In high naval 7clrcles that the Important lessons taught by these experiments\" would lead to the production of smaller battleships. When tho latest leviathan plans were voted, it was known that Mr. Phillip Watts, tho Director of Naval Construction, had received instructions to keep down naval displacement as low as possiblo, consistent with tho attainment of the standard of fighting value he was called upon to realize. Among members of the construction staff it \"is considered that Mr. Philip Watts has not justified increased sizo by increased fighting value. He has sacrificed half . a knot speed ns against thc King Edward class, and although he has mounted more 9.2- inch guns, this has been accomplished bv suppressing tho useful battery of len C-inch quick-firers, which tbo Edward carry. The armor distribution upon the broadside is about thc same in both classes, but the present war haa taught us that armor is futile againc't torpedo attack. Tho belief in Davenport dockyard is that the designs of the ships will bo modified to reduce thoir displacement befoi'o they are laid down. ������ . ���������.\"���������'���������- '<\"'��������� ;f-���������'���������'���������[ i\"-- Tliere is mora Catarrh in this section of the country than all other disanqcs put together, and until tho last few years was supposed to bo lncurabU I-'or R great iiiniiy years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to euro with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
