Low Prices C B, HUME & CO, Department Store FRUIT CROWING IN REVELSTOKE An Expert's Opinion on the Possibilities of such an Industry here���������A Fruit Growers Association Wanted. Mr. H. Kipp, of Chilliwack, father of Mis. A. J. McDonell, of the Hotel Revelstoke, spent a couple of days in the city tbe latter end of last week. Mr. Kipp is one of the pioneers of the province, having settled at Chilliwack in 1804, over 40 years ago. He is also one of the most expert fruit growers in British Columbia, and is a member of the executive of the British Columbia Fruit Growers' Association. In an interview with a Herald representative Mr. Kipp stated that he was on his return from attending a meeting of the Fruit Growers' Association at Nelson, and decided to lay over at Revelstoke for a day or two to see what the possibilities of this place were as a fruit growing centre, and from what he had gathered in conversation with some of the residents of the city and from what he had seen he was of the opinion that the possibilities of Bevelstoke as a fruit growing centre were excellent. During his stay in the city he visited P; B. Peterson's garden and was surprised at the- number of fruit and ornamental trees which had been planted out and were doing well without irrigation, showing that the climatic conditions of this district were admirable for this purpose. Another point in Bevelstoke's favor as a fruit growing community was the fact that the late spring frost did not effect the plants. In this respect Bevelstoke was more fortunate than Chilliwack district, where on the 18th of May last the strawberry crop was considerably damaged by a late frost. Continuing, Mr. Kipp said, that there were many acres around', the city, which could be',utilized- for fruit growing and~he expressed'surprise tha������~the* people^'of' this" vicinity "had not woke up to the'great possibilities- in this direction long ago. The- soil was not mnchto look at, being sandy in appearance,' but when you find the product good theie'could be no ques^ tion as to its nature. Mr. Kipp was quite enthusiastic over the prospectp and considered that in: a short time sufficient fruit could be grown here for home consumption.! In order to find out just how far the fruit country extended Mr. Kipp went up the line as far as Rogers Pass, but while he found the conditions there for growing garden stuff good, there was not much chunce for fruit and he considered that Revelstoke was ths terminus of the fruit growing country on the main line of the C. P. R., until Golden and the Upper Columbia Valley was reached. Mr. Kipp strongly advocated the organization of a branch of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association in Revelstoke. The membership fee for local associations'is"'$rper headrone half-of which goes to the parent association for affiliation fees.- The local association would be incorporated under the Farmers' Institute Act, which would cost $10; and this is practically all the DEUTSGHMAN'S DISCOVERY ���������Tift J&.-**-' Nothing Equalling: this Great Natural Wonder in Fantastic Magnificence of Grandeur is Known to Exist Elsewhere. The Toronto ������*toe of Saturday, July 22nd, in addition to an illustrated write-up of the famous Deutschmau Caves, contains the following editorial reference thereto :0 ���������- "The marvellpus'marble cave, newly discovered by Charles Deutschman in the Rockies, and*>'described and illustrated in The Globe"'Magazine section to-day, will interest the whole people of Canada; and as its beauties become more widely known and are rendered more accessible", it will attract the attention of the-scientist and the tourist the world-.over, for nothing equalling this great natural wonder in fantastic magnificence or grandeur of design is known to exist elsewhere. 'The walls are of Asolid marble, and have been slowly 1 carved during centuries by the ceaseless rush of torrents of snow water.' This is not a sentence from some new, Arabian Nights tale as it well might be; it is a plain 'statement of fact in the report of Engineer AV. S. Ayres to the Dominion Government, but there is compressed within it a wonderful story! of the mysterious working of nature; Year by year the beauties of thej Canadian Alps are more appreciated by the travellers of both the new and.old; worlds. New marvels are found at .every turn as exploration is pushed into the recesses of the mighty', mountain chain. Already two railways traverse their wide bosom, soon a.third will follow, and a fourth; while numerous spurs jut out to.populous towns and new centres 'of life and industry. Not many' years will pass .before the mountain peaks of Canada will attract .a vast volume of- tourist* traffic'fromi-foreign '"lands. The present discovery is but.one.in-an endless chain of natural-winders'.'-'r "It remains to be added ithat The Globe is much indebted������,to .the. enterprise and courtesy of ,'Mrs. Arthur Sprag^e of- Toronto for the material contained iu to-day's magazine." S The Premier's Suit. expense attached to the establishment of such an organization. By affiliating with the B. C. Association a local branch -would derive considerable benefit in the way of practical advice and hints as to the proper cultivation of different kinds of fruit. Such an association need not necessarily be composed of fruit growers only, but all interested.in the growth and prosperity of the city should become members. Mr. Kipp expressed the hope that the residents of the town and district would take this matter up, and stated that any assistance or information required would be cheerfully given,by the executive of the B. C. Fruit'Growers* Association. Mr. Kipp left for his home in Chilliwack on Saturday morning. Can Get an Opinion. Tlie Rossland Miner in reporting the victory for the McBride government, in All>erni Inst Saturday! says; "J. A. Macdonald, leader of the opposition in the legislative assembly, was asked last night if he had any comment to make on the result received thus far, but declined to issue any statement for publication." We do not wonder at Mr. Macdonald's silence, but if the Rossland Miner wants an interview on the lecent Alberni contest, they can get it either from Hon. John Oliver, of Delta, or the Wise Editor of tbe Kootenay Mail. We do not blame the Hon. - R. McBride ��������� for going after the Victoria Times for libel.: The Mining Standard aims to cut out politics as' much as possible, but politics is one thing and rank personal. abuse is anothei', and the latter is no part of the function, that newspapers were created to fill. It is one thing for the individual to abuse his fellow man. He probably has few hearers. When a newspaper abuses a man they have the whole circulation list for hearers. That constitutes libel if the paper cannot substantiate its charges. We do not believe the charges are true. Any man that can stand off the gang of railroad grafters that the Hoi?._Mr._McBride did, during the last session, can't be very far wrong. The Government may have many shortcomings, but it had' the shortcomings of a good many governments before it to stand the brunt for. Politics is a game that we, as a mining paper, may not be on to. But the earmarks of honesty seem to lie with the present Government, and the only reason they cannot do better, is that former administrations have, run the pace so swiftly, that there is little in sight for the present administration to work from. * Give them a show. A newspaper that has its vision blinded by the passion of partizanship, has outlived its usefulness to the community. Merely because a man is a Liberal or a Conservative is no reason why he has not the same right to express his opinion as any other man. Such a man or newspaper, which cannot see the good as well as the bad is an enemy of progress. Life is too short to get mixed up in trying to understand the ways and wherefores of the present suit. We honor the man who had the sand at last to come out and stand off a ring of railroad grafters, who have become so emboldened by previous successes, that they thought they had a Bnap in forcing on the country a burden of perpetual taxation for the enrichment of a gang that has already brought the nose of this province to the grindstone.���������Sandon Standard. Major Walsh Dead Kingston, Ont., July 25.���������Major Walsh, flrst commissioner to the Yukon, died to-day. He had been sick only a week with paralysis and brain trouble, The Y M C A. Mr. George Irving, Field Secretary for the Canadian West of the Y. JI. 0. A., has been in the city for tho pust week arranging for the establishment of a branch association here and for the erection of a suitable building for the purposes of the Association. On Sunday afternoon about fifty people attended a meeting in Selkirk Hall, when Mr. Irving addressed the gathering on the work of the association in different parts of Canada and the United States. A committee was appointed to look after subscriptions for the building fund and who an now at work with splendid success. The 0. P. R. railway employees committee have guaranteed to raise .$5000 of which $2700 has already been secured. , The city committee's list now aggregates about $3500 and an efforl is being made to raise the total to $10,000 by Satuaday night. Tlie C. P. R. Co. will be asked for a free site and 'financial assistance. The amount required for tho* projected building is $15,000. The movement is meeting with every encouragement from the business men as well as the employees of the railway and lumber mills. The ladies of the city, too, are interesting themselves, and in consequence of all working together success should be assured. ALBERNI GOES CONSERVATIVE William Manson Leads at nearly Every Poll���������Has Majority of 64 with Two Places yet to be Heard From.

When Cozad's California Dog, Pony and Monkey circus appears here it will be discovered that a complete entertainment lasting over two hours can be given wholly by animals instcad of human actors. These carefully trained pets perform the principal roles in dramas arid comedies and in addition give a complete vaudeville'program. First comes the grand military drill in'which one hundred pretty prancing ponies take part, lead by the wise pony leader, "Roseberry." They march and countermarch and'go 'through difficult evolutions with the precision of highly trained soldiers. Then. comes the joyous'* May :Pole ^dance.when clustered around the sawdust' arena, .v some "dozen.- children mounted on the dimunitive Shetlands, go,- through the mazes of' the dance. The- demure ponies enter into .the festive spirit as well as-the youngsters and no prettier sight has ever been seen. Then come the sagacious dogs who perform - the part of fire-laddies. A; minature house is: in flames, the intrepid, firemen -rush to. the rescue with their tiny hose carts and soon have a stream playing upon the burning building; a baby is rescued from the flames; a patrol filled with dog policemen dashes up and assists the dog firemen. The clown dogs, ponies, and monkeys all the while furnishing lots of hilarity for the little ones.

The Vesey family have for a century and a half occupied important commands in Great Britain's army and navy. The concert in Revelstoke will take place in the skating rink on October 2nd. The Standard Mines. O.'J. Rumens, superintendent bf the Prince Mining Co., Standard Basin, came down from the property on Tuesday evening. The , Standard is keeping up its record as the biggest gold-copper property in the interior. The development work now proceeding is keeping up the big showings of high grade ore. The Standard leads are now developed over 500 feet from the surface and the values increasing. The Company's property is now beyond the experimental stage, and has shown up the faitli always held by the owners that the ore bodies would enlarge and beeome richer as depth was attained.

A New Company takes Hold of the Mine with Substantial- Backing���������Development Work Will be Pushed Ahead. A new company, called the Camborne Mining Co., was formed at Calumet, Mich., on the 21st June to take over the affairs of the Northwestern Development Syndicate, Ltd.. and the Gold Finch Mining Co., Ltd., and a circular has been forwarded to the shareholders in these companies acquainting them with the plan of organization. After giving details concerning thc causes that were responsible for the failure of the old companies, the circular says thus about the Camborne group and Gold Finch :��������� "You have a property, the purchase price of which is fully paid, a ten-stamp mill, with foundations for ten more heads, rock crusher, ore bins all complete, gravity tram about one mile in length, an electrical power house, and plant fully equipped with water wheel and dynamos, generating sufficient power to run the stamp mil!, electric drills and electric lights for"the mine, mill and buildings, a water right of 500 inches with"a* fall of 80 to 100 feet, blacksmith' shop, ��������� boarding and cook.house, mine and assay offices in fact a fully equipped mining plant needing only a small amount of repairs to be in full worsing order. About $12,_00in bullion has been produced from the Gold Finch claim since operations were commenced 011. it. The runs have always been good.. Mr. Rosenberger, who was manager, of the property ,in 1901 says in his July. 1901 report. 'With the necessary improvements, it is safe to state that ore milling $3.00 per ton can be made' to-pay a small net profit above the,, cost of mining and 'milling with the" present plan. -.Ore being extracted byjj development-work-'and -milling'-������3.00 should supply 75, per cent of the. nece's sary. funds to explore and develop'the property.- By.adding another, t'eri stamps to the mill it is quite probable that the mill could be made to carryall development and exploration work.' "No development work whatever has been done on some of the claims! There are nine claims comprising the property. The work, which has already beeu performed on the Gold Finch claim has lead us to the conclusion that we have a valuable property. The object of the plan herein submitted to you is to provide an adequate and equitable method of raising sufficient funds to pay off the small indebtedness of the" Gold Finch company��������� some $1,300, and to provide the new company with "working capital. "We have organized a mining company, whose stock shall be subject only to such assessments as will bc necessary. to vigorously prosecute work on the property. The plan is to change the present_non-asseisable_stock_of__tbi_* Gold Finch company and the Northwestern Development Syndicate, into assessable stock in a new company.

Tlis great hat was across his knees, nnd his hands were folded patiently ovcr lis brim. When tho younger man approached Chiubei did not look tip or speak. On his face -shone the palo light of everlasting peace. aninto Bay or through the bramble- deep fields of the Taharazaka I'nss in a march with torches and rilles. His first name .was Chiubei, his family name Kato, which was added to his adhress after tiie JUeiji restoration, when the new government of tho Mikado abolished lho old law forbidding a farmer to have a family name. Chiubei stood under the overhanging piazza roof at the front of a seed store, looking at tho various seeds iu the bamboo show baskets. Tie intended to buy somo turnip seed, but without speaking to a salesman in the store, iie stood there silently wailing to be addressed first, for it wus hi.s old family maxim that "he can buy goods with less money when ho is asked for a purchase than when asking for it." There were two young salesmen squatting upon the Intuitu' floor and leaning against a great charcoal brazier. From tho expression on Chiubei's fnee, they knew at onee that the old farmer wauled to buy something. One of tho salesmen whispered to the other: ������������������"These* ignorant farmers always make me tired for they think they can buy goods with loss money when we ask them to make a purchase! Don't speak to him and soo what ho will do." "Just for a fiuestion of few cents!" sneered the other. Chiubei said to himself: "i would buy the turnip seed, paying any price which the salesman might quote, if I were buying it for my own use. but now- I want to buy it for my son, who i.s at -Fort Arthur. I 'must economize every cent of liis monoy so that when he" comes back J can show him how well T have taken caro of liis money and farm!" He stood there for a few. moro'minutes, but none of lhc- salesmen paid any attention. "Sa mu a m"i da lm tsu!" prayed Chiubei. and was inspired with* a scheme. ] Chiubei left the store, and liis! scheme worked. I wns on somo other liorse. Tie can't do anything beyond rowing ii bit.

Pierpont Morgan, a.s it were; thnt i.s to say, hcr giant among financial ������r.d K*ni- mcrcia! speculators, who is at nil times concerning himself with mighty projects conuevUd with iho indust riul development of his couniry. Just ut present, when the Bear bf.oins !ik,j losing and Japan is nt tlm gates of a new era of prosperity, ihe Japanese .Morgan is rousing himself io his fullest activities. His real name is Baron Shibusnwa, and il is a great distinction for him that ho i.s the first business man who has over heen ennobled in Japan wliero the chief honors nro monopolized by naval and military persons. But the Baron says that when Japan has finished the big wnr which establishes her securely as a Great Power in the Far Kast, and when she ihen gives her attention to tho arts of peace, the commercial man will inevitably come uppermost, and will count for more in Japan than ho has over done hefore. Baron Shibusawa, a millionaire several times over and the mnn who practically controls industrial Japan, is now sixty-livo years of ago. He is a self-mado man, and i.s THE SON OP A FAHMEB. Hc is connected with nbout 1-10 companies, and is the chairman oi directors of between thirty and forty of the biggest concerns in Japan. lie it was, indeed, who introduced tho company system into tho Land of tho Rising Sun, and ho organized the first company nnd was tlio first of its-directors. As showing tho Baron's enterprise and tho way in which he keeps himself abreast of tho times, it*.may be said that lie floated n great Japanese shipping trust long before the Atlantic combine, which was thought to bc tho first thing of its kind, was dreamt oi". 'T'his is now known as tho Japanese Mail Steamship Company, and, liaving seventy steamers, is lho fifth largest steamship company in tho world. It is the Baron's ambition that, with this fleet ns a basis, he may one day in the near future command lho trade in the Pacific. He thinks that in time. Japan will be ono of tho greatest countries in tlie world, and declare, that the Orient rightly belongs to her for commercial purposes. Allliou gh he rcaliv.es that Japan could not get ovor her initial difficulties without going in very strongly for militarism, he bates to think of a nation giving itself up entirely lo it, and made a very blunt display of his .feelings in this matter on one occasion when lie met President Roosevelt. The President, desiring to be unable, congratulated the Baron on tho naval ond military- progress of his countrymen, whereupon the Baron quite frankly expressed HIS REGRET AST) SURPRISE that tho first American had nothing bolter to say to him than that. "1 am afraid," ho remarked, "that too much militarism will, if persisted in, sap tho vory life of a nation." Tiie Baron looks thc commercial magnate as much as it is possibly for a Japanese to look one. Hc is of medium height for hi.s country, and i.s sturdily built, with a -strong face and chin. His small eyes are intensely quick ar.d keen. There is nothing of whal is vulgarly called "side" about him. His manner i.s easy nnd pleasant, he talks without reserve and treats all men as equals, and is given a good name for honesty and kindness by rich and poor alike. When the war is over and Great Ilritain nnd Japan nro drawn closer in commerce we may sco the Unron sitting on tho beards of directors of AngIo-.Japar.aso companies and presiding at meetings in London.

Attention is called to an interview in another column in .which Mr. H. Kipp. of Chilliwack, one of British Columbia's most expert fruit growers, expresses the opinion that the possibilities of Revelstoke as a fruit growing centre are excellent. Practically all the fruit consumed in Kevelstoke is imported, and in many cases consumers have to pay more iu express charges than what tlie fruit is worth. "With favorable climatic conditions and a good market it is surprising that more attention has not been paid locally to the cultivation of fruit. There is a splendid opening here for such an industry -which would not only be profitable to those engaged in it but of immense benefit to the community'' as well, and before many years instead of the local merchants liaving to import fruit for home consumption, the fruit growers of Kevelstoke would be shipping theii' products to less fortunate communities. It is pleasing to note however that one-or two of our local gardeners have already made experiments in lliis direction with good results and others are following suit. It is hoped that the suggestion thrown out by Mr. Kipp regarding the formation of n 3-"ruit Growers Association in Revel- ("!overiiiiient bo liad, what must they think of the Opposition? and with such food i'or their reflection, Messrs. "M.-icdonuld and Oliver, for instance, may be dismissed from further consideration.���������Colonist. There is a protty well authenticated rumor afloat to the effect that the Grand Trunk Pacific has obtained, or is negotiating for, running rights over the C.

A Revelstoke Inventor, Mr. Rowland Di-iltnln, Pattont At tiirney, of Vancouver, sends the following account of a patent which hns been granted to a llritish Columbia inventor: A United States patent was recently issued to .Iny E. Lehman, machinist, t of Kevelstoke, on an improved guago for measuring the wear of railway tires. Dillieulty liasbeen experienced heretofore in constructing a guago for this purpose thnt, will measure the wear uf the lire from a delinite position or base, wliieli is itself not susceptible lo wear. Tlie gunge in question, which is of n simple and portable nature, consists of n base poition designed to be set against tlie outer face of tho tire rim, which member has a slidab'.e pointer wliich may be set to the inner diameter of the tire to determine its thickness. Projecting at right angles from the end of this base portion and slidably adjustable on it is an arm the end of wliich may bc set against the fillet of the llange, and having n small depth guage movable along it across the width of the tire, by which the amount of wear at any desired part may be determined. The various slidable parts of the guage are graduated for the determination of the posilion and tlle amount of wear, and tho whole forms a convenient and serviceable device whicli should bo much appreciated by liail- way Master Mechanics or others who require to determine the wear of wheel tires.

From a political point of view the Government and the Province is to bo congratulated. B.v lhe turning of a "Liberal into a Conservative constituency the Government has been materially strengthened. That is a factor of great importance to law-making and administration. Itisafaclth.it can be honestly appreciated by Liberals as well as Conservatives, as one in the best interests of the province. From the point of view of the great majority it is better to have a government, of whatever shade of politics, strong than to have one nunierically too -weak to give full effect to its policy. XX'e shall not say anything concerning the defeat which has been administered to the Opposition. That a Liberal vote of three to one, or more accurately speaking, of 320 to 102, has lieen turned in to*-a large Conservative majority is sufficiently significant in itself not to require comment. If the Government is unworthy of confidence, as its opponents claim it to be, the veidict in Alberni does not reflect a high estimate of the Opposition. In the opinion of the electorate, if the To Explore G. T. P. Route AV. Fleet Robertson, provincial mineralogist, hits stalled out upon an important undertaking, lie has been instructed by the Provincial Government to make an exhaustive report on the region to be traversed by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, with especial reference to the Bulkley vnllcy. He will leave the C.P.R. at Ashcroft for the 300 mile stage ride upcouiitry. His first base will be at Barkerville, where the finishing touches will be added to the expedition. Mr. Robertson will have a large puck train and the services of half a dozen men, including guides. Several canoes will bo taken along as the descent of many rapid rivers will have io be accomplished after passing the summit on the divide between the interior plateau and the coast. In order to expedite his progress men have been engaged in the Cariboo to cut trails through the wilderness north of Barkerville. Most of the region to be traversed is a veritable terra incognita respecting which the scantiest information is available. .Mr. Robertson hopes to supply the flelieieheyT ���������^=��������� ���������=^^==. Ife will report on the mineral resources along the route, and inquire into the agricultural possibilities. Scattered through Oinitieca are many prospectors, and unverified stories aliout fa'nuously rich strikes of ore have reached the outside world. On liis return Mr. Robertson expects to be in a position to announce tlie character df the mineralization over a wide teriitoi v. Of Lake Gleanings. (From Our Own Correspondent) Tlie farmers in the vicinity Williamson's lake are busy baying, the crop this year is heavier than former years, and mowing machines, rakes, and otiier implements are on the move on all sides gathering up the hay. The lake is attracting a large number of .bathers, these warm days. With a little money expended it could be made a pleasure resort equal to any in the province. The lake is about throe-quarters of a mile in length and half ,-i mile across, and ,has a fringe of shade trees on all sides. Farmers are complaining about the roads that lead from their ranches into town being in bad condition ii? places, especially on tlie town's side of the Iliecillewaet bridge there are several bad holes. The potato crop in this district is exceptionally good this season. ���������i McLean's Challenge Sew "Westmi.vstkk. July 20.���������A.

A party of Armstrong citizens left on Tuesday's train for Sicainciis, from which place they go to Seymour arm of Shuswap lake by boat, hence to an exploration of what is hoped to develop into a rich mining property in which a number of them are already interested. Tiie property was discovered by Alex. Clark, colored, a few- weeks ago, and by him and It a Daniels investigated sufficiently to convince them that it. was possessed with "sWTf^n5irTirn*fi*^ri!^iTng^^ mens of which tbey procured and obtained on ass.-iyei-'s report ou.

Already a dozen claims have been staked and sevi-i-al more are ro he ehoson at once. ���������Armstrong Advocate. Surgery of the Stomach. A writer in,-. Leslie's Monthly Magazine for July gives the following interesting facts about surgery of the stomach: Modern surgery's great achievements have been in the abdominal region, for a generation ago fear of blood poisoning kept the surgeon out of this territory. Here disease intrenched itself and bid the surgeon defiance. But now the surgeon intrepidly enters disease's former stiong- hnld, mills it, and in so doing performs live-saving feats with thc organ that seem absolute miracles to the on- looking world. Take the stomach. If it is too large, the surgeon enfolds a portion of the wall and sutures the edges, and if necessary, cuts a new opening for the head of the small intestine and sutures (stitches) it into place; if the esophagus is obstructed so that food cannot be taken naturally a tube is inserted through the abdominal wall into the stomach, and when tho man is hungry he merely drops a premas.ticated meal into the tube; or, in case a cancerous area be so large as to demand such a severe operation, the surgeon may remove the entire stomach and suture the esophagus to the duodenum.v Contrast tliis last operation with the working principle of the severities, that to enter the stomach is death, and you see how far surgery has traveled in a generation. This last operation is, of course, rarely performed even now, but'there are today a. fow stom.aehless . persons in the world (one returned to work within two months after '-*.. the operation), attending to their regular duties, taking a special diet, and apparently just as happy as though their stomachs were not in jars on laboratory shelves.

F "For nearly two hundred and 6fty years/ ���������fcesays, " scientists have known that the hah ot rersons employed ln copper work* is apt to jtecome green���������* curious fact and one which It especially interesting from a biological point 'pt tlew. The general belief, howerer, that thi liair becomes green after a few days' work In jummer It erroneous. Workmen perspire free- [ly during the summer and tbe dust from tb< copper naturally clings to their skin and tendi to glrc their hair a greenish hue. This greet towever, can be easily washed off, |> "The true green does not appear In tbe hall 'of workmen until they bave been come yean ���������t the business, and neither bj washing noi fcj th* use of chemicals can ther erer wholl] rid themselves of it. I have examined ovei three hundred workmen and yet I found thai ���������nly eight of them had any trace of green io then* h&lr. 1 examined one man, a brass p0l- liber, who had been twenty-seven years lb the factory, and I found his hair of a-natura) color* On the other hana, I found anothei polisher, who'had a green beard.

This was clearly proven tome by thi aitcolored hair of a goat which used to frequent a certain copper factory, and which ns������d to_drink daily, without, any. eyll result! the water in which the _copper was washed; p- "In the case of workmen the hair of tht bead aad beard changes color more often jthan that of the eyebrows, and, 'as a rule, th< Jbeard change* first.

Another peouliar fact Is that after some yean |th* green may disappear from the hair, pro-, (vided the workman Is no longer employed al jtkl* trade. I knew one old man whose hair, .which was-very green while he wa* working [at copper, became snow white soon after b������ ^eased to work. On the other hand, a storj I* told of a workman whose hair, which wa: [white while he was at work, became green within five Booths after he had (topped Working. ^ "In the case* whicL I studied the green .was spread evenly over the whole hair, which b curious ln t!*w of the fact tbat two othei scientist* who have been studying thla jfubject discovered more green at the roots ol ���������the hair than anywhere else.

"I nm not surprised $�� tlio continued success of tho Japanese on land and water,': said as English traveller through Canada recently.

"You see," the traveller continued, "it is greatly on account of Shintoism. Don't know wliat that is, eh? Well, it is part of the Jap's religion., and means Iliat if ono rtio.9 fighting for Japan lie wiil go" straight to Heaven, no matter what sins ho has committed. This, in a groat measure, accounts for their oxtraordin- nry bravery. Ifow dill'o'rent, is it not, from tho average Christian minister, wiio preaches against warfare? SAW RUSSIA'S FLEET. "I saw the forty-nine ships of war comprising the Russian fleet pass through the Straits of Malacca about tho I Oth of May.

"About tho 20th of May our party passed tlirough' Hong .Kong, and all the Europeans- .wore tlien asking 'Where's Togo*?' The wily admiral wasn't lottingo any ono know his whereabouts.

'Tcrliaps you think this great war is creating troublo and confusion in, Japan. Not at all; ovcri'thing goes along as usual. Agriculture is carried on mostly by Iho women, and it is the same with sh'opkccpiiig, so tho absence, of tlic men is not felt vory much." Why, oven tho coaling of tho vessels at Nagasaki is done by tha Women. "Much of Uio war revenue is raised by an extra charge put on everything sold to visitors.

Cerebrospinal meningitis, or spotted fp.vor, a9 it is popularly called, is duo to the presence of a germ in the membranous covering of the brain and spinal cord. It attacks children most frequently, yet adults, even the aged, aro not safe from its onslaught. It may begin abruptly or gradually. When it is gradual thu first symptom is usually intense headache,���������this persists Willi few remissions throughout the course of thn disease,���������followed by a chill, or convulsions in very young children, fever, and vomiting, which is usually wliat is called "projectile vomiting," that is, tho stomach contents aro ejected with great force, and not merely regurgitated. Stillness of the muscles of tlle neck and back soon .appears, and any movement of theso parts becomes distressingly painful. The head is drawn back by the muscular contraction, and sometimes tho entire spine is curved backward so that the body and head form nn arc of a circle. The pupils contract slowly or not at all wlion turned to Uio light, a squint is sometimes present, and light causes great distress, ns shown by tho closing of the, eyes and contraction of the brow of the nearly unconsciousi patient. The sufferer, shrinks also from noises, and ��������� tho least touch causes pain. Delirium or unconsciousness occurs almost always early in the disease. Although it is called spotted fever, the eruption occurs only occasionally and in the severer cases. ' In what is called tho fulminate forni the sufferer is attacked with the troubles such ns neuralgia, St. Vitus suddenness of a paralytic stroke, and dance and paralysis. And it is this same way that they cure tho irregularities and secret troubles of women and growing girls. No other medicino can do this, and ailing peoplo will savo money and speedily get good health by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at once. But you must get tho genuine with tho full name.

TO STRENGTHEN THE EYES. .Tho eyes will bo greatly strengthon- . ed by pulling tlie face down into a glass or eye-cup of water tlie first thing in tlio morning and opening tliem under water. This is somewhat difficult to do at first, but if the water for two or three days bo topid and gradually bo mado colder by imperceptible degrees until it is no shock te put tho faco into quite cold water, it will soon become easy, and is very invigorating and refreshing. Tlio oyos should bo'wiped after this by passing a' soft towel very gently from the outer angle inward toward the nose. 4 WHAT SALT WILL DO. Salt may bo made useful in many directions besides table use. First, as a tooth powder, it will keep the gums hard and the tooth beautifully white. Also, if you have had a* tooth oxtrnctoifrund tho bleeding does not slop, rinsing tho mouth with salt and water will prove a quick remedy. Mixed with hot water it makes a good gargle for a sore throat, and if a lillle is put with' lemon juice, s'-.".jn.s on fingers from ink, peeling polntoes, etc., will bo easily re- t<;:r-od Wlien tea-cups are discolor- c|2 rub a iittlo salt on the stains bo- fjre washing tliem, and ths blemish quickly disappears. .���������+ A MOTHER'S PRAISE.

If tlio disease does not kill, it often leaves its victim a wreck���������blind or deaf, paralyzed or idiotic, or a constant sufferer from intolerable headache. Tho treatment consists in absolute rest in a quiet, dark room, a restricted diet and laxatives. Warm bath's of long duration have been found of use. Recently somo physicians havo reported apparent cures by the injection of diphtheria antitoxin. HEALTHY HAIR. Dandruff arls*cs from an unhealthy condition of the scalp. Tho best treatment is by friction. Use a good still bristle brush niglit and morning. There, is a lotion, composed of two drams of borax dissolved in one pint of rosemary wator, which is said .to bo beneficial, applied three tiiiucs each week and thoroughly rubbed into tho scalp. Friction or massage is usually recommended ns the best treatment. Wash the head onco every two weeks, and when doing so massage tlio scalp vigorously with the linger tips, employing a rotary motion. Another moans of stimulating thc healthy aclion of tlio scalp is to separate tho hair when shampooing, and scrub thc scalp'thoroughly with a finger-brush. Tliis, wilh" tlio massage by tho fingers, will effectually prevent tho condition termed scalp- bound, and tend to eradicate dandruff. This treatment should bo continued. If llio hnir does not grow, possibly white vaseline rubbed in. at tho roots of th'o hair with the fingertips will liavo' a good effect. SLEEP AS A DEATJTY AID. No girl who does not sleep woll can hope to preserve lier good looks. Six hours' sleep is necessary for everyone, but is not sufliciont to moot the jihysical needs' of all, some requiring eight hours, and others oven, longer. When possible, at least ono hour's sleep should bo obtained beforo imid- iiiglit, ns this is worth' all Uie hours tlint succeed it. O.ultivalc a habit of sleeping on tho sido.

All that is needed is flower of sulphur nnd a quill, and with these, it is said, one celebrated physician cured every patient without exception, lie put a teaspoonful of flower of sulphur into a wineglass of water, aTrd~"stirrciI~it_wilh��������� liis "fiiigcr-instead' of a spoon, tliu sulphur not readily amalgamating with water. When the sulphur was well mixed, tlie physician gave it ns a gargle, ami in ten -.minutes th'o patient was out of danger. Sulphur kills every species of fungus in a man, boast, or plant in a few minutes. Instead of spitting out tlio garglo, tho swallowing of it i.s recommended. In extreme cases.in which' the above specialist had. been culled in tho nick of time, when'tho fungus wns too nearly closing to allow tlio gargling, lie blew tliu. sulphur through a quill Into the throat" and, after th'o fungus had shrunk to allow ol it, gavo Uio gargle. FRUIT AT UREAKFAST-TIME. It is a mistaken idea that no fruit should bo eaten at breakfast; indeed, it would bo far better if people would eat less bacon at breakfast nnd more, fruit. Tho apple is ono of the best | fruits. Ilukod or-slowed apples will j generally agree with the most delicate digestion, and nro an excellent medicine in many cases of indisposition. Green or half-ripe apples stowed nnd sweetened arc pleasant to the taste, cooling, and nourishing. Raw apples nre better tlian liver pills. Oranges aro vcry acceptable to most people; but the orango juice alono should bo taken., and the pulp bo rejected. Lemonade is the best beverage in hob weather and duripg fevers, and whon thickened with sugar is better than syrup of squills and other medicine In many cases of cough. Tomatoes are very beneficial but the skins should not bo cnten. 4. Mary���������"Do you think it would ha conceited for mo to toll my friends tliat 1 'inadu this dress myself?"

It is a curious fact, said a family solicitor of forty years' standing, that women enjoy fow things more than making a will���������I don't mean all womon, of course, but the sex taking it as a whole. To the average man the making of his last testament is a formidable and mournful thing, to be put oil as long as possible or to bo got over quickly once for all; but whon tho average woman's fancy lightly turns to will-making, sho not only enjoys it, but is as likely as not to make a hobby of it. Some of then*, draw thoir own wills, wilh disastrous consequences often, as in tho case of' a rich lady who died a few weeks ago who had, with infinite, detail, disposed of every item of her 'estate on four foolscap pages, but had quite overlooked the j necessity of having witnesses to her signature, Dut I will .say -this for , tho sex: thoy arc as a rule wiser in j their generation���������or shall wo say loss conceited?���������thnn men, and usually ! put their testamentary fate in the j hands of a solicitor. But, oh, dear! how somo of them do worry the poor man! I have a client, an estimable lady, who begins each year with a new testament, and adds on an average a CODTCIL FOR EACH MONTH. One prized article of jewellery she has already be queathed to quito a dozen relatives and friends; but who will get it ultimately even sho could not say. Only yesterday she callod hero. "Oh Mr. B-���������," she began, "I want to mako another small change in my will. You remember I left my pearl neckless to Miss ������������������. Would you believe it,' though I did think she was ono of tho truest oi my friends, I find sho's a regular female Judas, and has been saying all kinds of spiteful things about me. I couldn't rest in' my grave if I thought she had my treasured necklace. So please strike her name out and put in Miss Dash." And so the gnmo goes on, until to-day, I assure you, thore is scarcely a single one of her possessions, down to a silver buttonhook, that will go to ils first destination. Another lady who had tried hcr ���������'prentice hand at will-niaking had tho good sense a short timo ago to submit it to mo for approval���������and it was lucky she did.

Thc merest pinch of coffee is usually sufficient to cleanse a sick room, oven in aggravated cases. Th'o best way to employ it is to freshly pound tho coffee in a mortar, if no mill is at hand, and sprinkle it on a red-hot iron surface.

German sufferers from, hay fever havo tried to help th'eir follows nnd themselves by handing log-other in order to promote investigation inlo tho causes of their troubles nnd to discover euros, if possiblo. As the hay fover season is just approaching, some account or the results of their enquiries may bo welcome to Knglish sufferers. Experiments and experience have fairly established lhe fact Uial h'ay fever is duo to tlio "ollcn of grass, rye,_etc.,_oftcn_iiitciisified ���������by��������� dust and by sunshine. The dungorous period is from lho middle of May to tho end of July, varying according to locality; tlio actually dangerous time for nny given place lasts some five or six weeks. Except in unusually severe cases, alleviation may Iio obtained by inhaling the fumes of stramonium, with which a little saltpetre has beon mixed, and sometimes by smoking cigarettes mado of Indian hemp. I'ho most scientific remedies yet known for external treatment are thu antitoxins prepared from grass pollen. Of those there are two on the market pollantin tind gramiirin. I'ollantin is a sorum supplied in the form of j owder, to- bo used as snuff or as a liquid.to drop into tho eyes and nose. Graminin, which at present is .only procurable as powder, is tlie cheaper product, and is duo to; tho diiscovcry of th'o assistant of Dr. Dunbar,.the inventor of pollantin. Those remedies aro at present litllo known outside, but in Germany thoy aro used with' real success fn 50 per cent, of cases treated, and with' loss success in others. MEASURING INGREDIENTS. It is useful to know that sixty drojis aro equivalent lo one teaspoonful, threo touspoonfuls equal to ono tablespoonful. A gill is four ' tablespoonfuls. Ono cupful of liquid is equal to ono half-pint. Two cupfuls of buttor or sugar weigh one pound, and sixteen tablespoonfuls of liquid arc equal to a cupful.

Ho died in Melbourne jail. At the timo of his arrest a curious map was found upon him, but oven with its aid tho most skilful detectives have failed to localize thc spot. FASCINATED 13Y A FURNACE. At an inquest on an iron-moulder named Lawton, who committed suicide by jumping into a blast furnace at Birmingham, England, workmen described how, on tho day of his death, the man repeatedly called them to look into the furnace, going back to it time after time as if by a kind of falal fascination, although ho had no business there. When hc jumped in ho was lieard to cry, "Oh, oh, two or three times, but no one could approach the charging-holo for somo time on account of tho great heat.
