On the Advice of His Doctor He Used Dr. Chase's Ointment For Protruding Piles With splendid Results Too often a doctor can only think of an operation when asked for a treatment 'or piles. Some are sufficiently broad-minded to use tlie most effective treatment available, which is undoubtedly Dr, Chase's ointment, as was proven iu tlie case referred to In this letter. Mr. Simon IB. .lones, Railway street. Inverness, M.S., writes: "I have found Dr. Chase'i ointment the best treatment obtainable for protruding piles. For three years I suffered from piles, and was advised by a local physician to try Dr. ChaBe's Ointment.

To Tell Fertile Eggs The slmpllest, easiest and surest way ot testing hatching eggs' for fertility is to set them in the incubator or under a hen and allow them to incubate for seven days, says a contri butor to the Farm and Fireside. Then remove the hen or take the tray out of tlie incubator and allow the eggs to cool for ten minutes. Then hold each egg to the cheek. The warm eggs arc the fertile eggs and the cold eggs are those that have no chicks in them. Eggs that are only slightly warm have a lery weak genu. Tlie longer the eggs are incubated the easier it is to pick out eggs that will hatch. How He Proved it "Are you progressive or conservative?" "Progressive, most certainly." "Good!

JCS IHEWUG INDUSTRY II USE OF MODERN METHODS RESULTS IN GREATER RETURNS THAN FORMERLY Immense Sums Are Invested in the Industry by Canadian and American Firms���U.S Congress to be Asked to Safeguard industry in Alaska. Washington,- Contrary to the ac Cepted belief ill tills country whaling is slill a great industry, and it growing rapidly in the Pacific ocean adjacent to the coasts of Mie two Americans. Tbis is lhe assertions of \V. S. --inu.il, of .Minn en polls, who with oilier Mlnneapolltans is Interested in one ni the two whaling companies operating stations iu Alaska nnd who is trying lo secure legislation by congress l'or the conservation ot the supply of whale.: as well as the plo taction of thos3 engaged in the Imsi ness. Recently a favorabli report was made in the senate on a bill presented hy Senator Kuiite Nelson, providing lhat no whuling station should he established in Alaska al a less din [knee lha,I 75 UltlOB trout another. The measure was Introduced at the in stance of .Mr. Dwlnnell, who in all ar gunienl before .he senate committee on fisheries, showed Unit large niiiounts are Invested In winding vessels and Btatlons ou the Pacific coast. "Up lo a few years ago practically nil winding wns carried on in Allan tie waters, but in recent years there bas been a gradual development of tlie. Industry In the virgin waters of the Pacific," said Mr. Dwlnnell. "Stn- tlona have beer, established on the coast of Chile, on lhe west coast of Mexico, in Ilritish Columbia and iu Alaska. Tho only American stations nre located at Grays Harbor, Wash., Port Armstrong in Southeastern Alaska, and on Akutaa Island���one of the most westerly of the Aleutian group. Owing tc the long stretches of shore line in Alaska and on the Pacific coast pf tlie United States, the industry, properly protected and encouraged, should aiid doubtless will become of much importance. "it has been demonstrated that when fishing is carried on extensiveo-, and the vast majority of whales caught, they se'_>m to abandon that par tlcular locality In subsequent years. This ls due culier to the knowledge tbey may have of the dangers of the locality or to the fact that so large a proportion of the' whales accustom ed to frequent ihe particular harbor or locality in question have been des troyed. ln any event, it is known that what may be termed 'over-whaling' will cause Die whales to almost entirely disappear from a given locality. "If, then, whaling is to be carried on successfully in our Alaskan waters and the whole -it to be so conserved that It will continue to frequent these waters, then there must be limitation placed upen the number which may be caught In any given locality. The only limitation 'hat may practically be put upon the catch is one that will prevent the location of more than one station at any given place. "On account ci tlie invention of the harpoon gun, whaling now is carried on like any other large industrial and commercial enterprise. Large nmoiints of money ere Invested in the business, a certain Canadian company having an investment of something over $5,000,000, while one of the American companies operating in Western Alaska has an investment of $000,000, and ihe other companies operating <n Southeastern Alaska and at Grays Harbor have each invest- nientes of $300,000. The necessity of large equipment, involving the investment of large capital, was all brought about through the harpoon gun. "Au average whale Is of the weight of fifty head of fat cattle and produces from thirty to fifty barrels of oil, beside a considerable amount of fertilizer and wLalebone, The size and strength o: tlu whale requires tlie heaviest machinery, made of the b.st material, while the modern methods of capture Increase the number taken to such an extant that shore stations, where are handled the carcasses of whales, must bo established r.t largo expense. "It Is not uncommon to see Invested In a single shore station $1.50,- 000, and the method of construction is Biich that It Is difficult and well-nigh impossible to remove the same from one location tc another.

Leprosy In North America In acloptllg a resolution favoring a hill now before congress for the establishment of a national leper colony in 'he ll'iit. d states the ratltfr start- ling stater ont was made lhat the number of lepers now in this country is estimated nt between ;!00 and 500. There must have been a great increase of thesi cases Within the last quarter of a century if these figures are correct, a ad it is high time that some pro.is>on for segregating the lepers in a place where they can receive humane treatment was made. The lepe.s i_ the colony at Malo- kal, Hawaii are comparatively happy in spite of their affliction. They have companionship, military quarters, the most scientific treatment, and everything possible is done to make their lot endurable, it Is almost impossible to Imagine wha. a leper in this country, confined alone In a shack and treated much as the lepers were in Biblical times, must suffer. It would be more humane to put him out of his miser, ai once. There are only about 20 lepers lu England, and yet a leper colony is to lie established there ln a deserted part of the coiir.ty oi Rsssx. The late Lord StraOteona left a bequest of $25,000 for this purpose. Surely if there is need of a lepe' colony in England, where, thete are only 20 cases, Ihsre is much more need for one in the United Stales, where there are between 300 -d 500 cases, Isolated bur. widely scattered.���The Argus. Talking Across the Atlantic Testifying before a royal commission In London the president of the Marconi company announced bis faith that the Hungarian wizard would have wireless telephone communication established between Wales and Newfojndhnd before the end cf the year. According to the prospectus the foundations of principle nre fully laid and the consummation awaits only tbe building of powerful enough machines in transmit sound ihrough such great distance. This is a prospect reasonably sure to tie tbe contii ents closer together and hasten the coming of the world state. When conversation can float half way around the world there is really little use fer natural boundaries and cusicms houses. And it will discourage war. Killing people who are on your line is not alluring. In. diseu-Bing the wireless telephone the question of privacy arises. To this the Marconi officials reply that long wave lengths which will carry the humi n voice across the Atlantic can be picked up only by stations ol the same power as those sent out. Aud as these stations are likely to be under the control of n singie company, tlicre will be just about as much privacy as with. the present telephones, Lady Offered to be Handcuffed The suffrage!.!- outrages in the English picture galleries, which resulted In closing the buildings, haa meant a lot of .rouble for the officials. Since the Na.U'.ial Gallery has shut its doors the staff have been inundated with requests from visitors to London for special permission to go round. The embassies also, since any personal friend of an ambassador is admitted., ere bombarded with requests. One lady who was not _nown to Dr. Page, lhe U.S. ambassador, having failed in all her efforts, at last wrote despairingly to the gallery offering to hire two weighty policemen or com- missionaries to accompany her round i and she added that. If that was not enough protect).-n, she was willing to be handcuffed to her guardians, if only she could by that means snatch a brief hour with tie old masters tbat she had crossed ihe Atlantic specially to see. , No Requests for Peace Stamps At the post office department It was slated that no official representations have Veen made concerning the issue of peace centenary stamps as is being done in the Unite.

These lnnps form part of a series of ten, covering appioxtuuitely 100,000 square miles ol )u:id, and will prove of great assistance to Intending pre-emptors, They show the lands surveyed to datu in the sections covered, the tracts available for pre-emption being shown In pink, while those taken up ure lu- cheated in white. The surveyed areas shown lu pint and Ibo unsiirveyed land shown in the Bame color can be pre-empted at the office or the govern ment agent of the hind-recording division in which It Is situated. It is necessary to stake the unsiirveyed land and describe il. according to metes mil bounds in t'le application. The surveyed tracts dan be applied for without staking, bong described In the applied t'on by tlie-v number, Maps bave already been issued in this series shewing the hinds for pre-emption In the Fort George and Tete jaune dlstrh ts. It was in these districts that 80,000 acres were opened to pre-emption last month, and .over three-iuiu'ters ot this land remain open. The new maps cover the aeras adjoining that embraced in previous ones; the whole scries are drawn to connect with each other. The NechacD sheet shows the territory w-'stwani of tlie Fort George district extending fo tlie Hazelton division ami embraces tlie great interior lane basin, and the Nechace, Ettdako and other fertile valleys, The North Thompson sheet shows the land adjoining the new C.N.R. Railway, and extends northward from the railway belt to the territory embraced in _.c maps previously published, it includes tlie Calient Lake, Briege I alse and Bonaparte districts of Eastern Lillooet and tha Lake disiricts, other areas in whic.i settlement is taking place.

Not Always Pay Professor' SUvanus Thompscn, lecturing at the Royal Institution iu Loudon on "Faraday and tlie Foundations'of Electrlcr.l Engineering," gave some curious information as to ilia small rewerd with which that great man of sr.eiic; liad to be content. At the age of ;:o Faraday was living with 'lir, wile i'i two rooms at the lop of the Royal Institution on n salary of $500 r. year, with coal aligns free. Davy s erratic career woul 1 have plunged the Roya' Institution into bankruptcy, but Faraday made a valiant struggle lu place it on a sound footing. Yet, after he had discovered magneto-electric induction, the authorities of die Royal Institute found themselve.: unab't to improve his position, and lib: salary remained at $500. Professo' Thompson said nothing perhaps wisely, about modern rates or pay, nit he did venture the remark that during the whole of Its course the itoy.-.l Institution had spent only $003,000 ou salaries and materials, or as niuc."i per year as the salary of a corlali professor in a Scot tish university. In -bat century th; Royal Institution has enjoyed lhe services of Davy, Fan-day, Tyndall, Franklin a:.d R.i> loigh. professor Thompson might have quoted Davys remark when Fa .1- day want to to quit bookbinding for the laboratory--'-tick to your trade, my boy; science doesn't pay." Why Salmon ftun At the meeting ot the French Academy ot Science recently an Interesting communication was made on lhe result of the obrcrvalions of 1-roles sor Ro'ule m the migration of salmon to fresh water. The obsarvatltns covered the rivers entering tl- _ ser. On the Breton coast, and it was foui,d that tlie proportion cf oxygci. dissolved In fresh water was the principal factor determining the ascent ot tbe salmon. Like all fi .i of their family, the .salmon have an Intense need of breathing, and this increases in the reproductive period Consequent they only enter rivers whose waters ere able to satisfy this need by the quantity of oxygen held in solution, it is _p scareh for this water that leads then, up the rivers, even where obst.nictuns make it necessa-y te leap In their characteristic way. Besides the scientific interest, Professor Roule's observations, If they could but be proven, would possssr great practical value, us they would enable on- im r.ediately to disce-n which rivers were worth an attempt to introduce, silmou by purifying the water, providing ladders, etc. and which were th.- rivers in which such labors wouM )>_ certain to be vain Canada's Resources Barely Touched Sir William Van Home says tln-l Canada has so far not eveu break fasted on ber vast and undiminished resources. This statement is well with In the mark, for, according to official estimates, die three prairie provinces contain no fewer than 272,020,') i! acres of r.rable land, of which about 50,000,000 areyiow broken. And yet, last year, ! ho wheat alone produced by Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta amounted to 231(117,000 bushels which'was raised on merely one-filth of the agricultural land available. Further, people are swiftly realizing that agriculture is by no means the west's solitary resource. It is gradually dawning upon diem that the w.-st now stands o_ tho very threshold of remarkable developments In other most valuable directions���directions previously undiscovered or Ignored in the first st-onncvi siage of the coun try's career, when the solid foundation of things was being well and. truly laid.

Food Eaten Determines Tint cf Skin A queer theory about the coloring of the human 'ace has been evolved by a German doctor, who states that die tint o' the Bkln is determined by the food eaten. Originally, h: declares, the human species was blark, because our primitive forefr.ther.i subsisted on fruit and roots containing manganese. The Amerlcav Redskins, lie says, owe their color to the consumption of raw flesh. The Mongols are yellow because of their descent from a tribe which consumed great quantities of herbs rich in chloride; and the Caucasians have to thank the salt, for which duy have so great a liking, for their dainty pink and white or dc-lkte brunette complexions!

In a valley so fertile as this, and with such a demand for milk and cieam, the farmers might, at a time like this very profitably have a few acres of their large bush farms slashed or cleared off. If they havn't the cash they could pay for the labour required in produce; and thus relieve the sufferings of their less fortunate fellowmen, many of whom have large families to support. Props required immediately is over one million, This being a matter of great importance from an economic as well as a patriotic point of view, it is expected that manufacturers of lumber in British Columbia will use their utmost efforts to meet this demand, which may develop into a regular trade in Props with Great Britain. Firms interested should apply for full particulars to Forest Branch. Victoria. Pulp and the War The pulp mills of B. C. are working full ti ne in an endeavor to keep up the demand for pulp, one mill at least keeping going . _ night and day, War editions and refugees in <Germany alone shows the closing down of European 'the esteem felt b? the Fatherland The War and the States In spite of the German element in the .States, estimated to number twenty millions of people, and very powerful in political infttienee, American opinion is decidedly on the side of the Allies, This is hardly to be wondered at, seeing that the democracy of the Great Republic, with all its flaws, must be as distasteful to the military autocracy of Prussia as the democratic ideals of Britain. Further it is safe to say that, but for the naval supremacy of Britain the United States would have to keep up an establishment of forces on land and sea, much greater many times than htr present strength, Had the British Empire have been broken by Prussia, even though the States had been propitagated by the gift of Canada at the hands of the conqueror, most certain it is that the States would have been the next quarry of the German Eagle. The treatment of American plants are responsible for the improvement so far as B. C- is concerned. It is to be hoped that B. C. will take advantage of the occasion to start up more mills. Some time ago there was a pulp proposition being taken up in Courtenay and district, the site being somewhere on the' west coast. It may be that this and other operations will soo_"_e~enabred to get going. Need Pit Props The Department of Trade and Commerce announce that urgent enquiries have been received from Great Britain with regard to Pit Props; owing to the Baltic being closed, prices have risen from 25 to 50 per cent, and are still rising, The Props should be chiefly Fir 4 to 7 feet long, and 3 1-2 to 4 inches in diameter at the small end; Spruce, Pine, aud Tamarack would also be suitable. The quantity of towards America, and in spite of all talk to the contrary, the Germans would treat the States just as they did plucky little Belgium. The Americans are sharing in the financial strain to which all countries are being now subjected, although this is greatly counterbalanced by the huge purchases being made by every European country, of food, horses, and supplies of all kinds from the American merchants. The fact remains that Uncle Sam hopes that the firm of Bull, Drapeau & Ivanovitch will 'veather the storm and so do away with the necessity of interference by the United States themselves. An excellent way for Canadians to exercise patriotism at home is to give effect to the "Made In Canada" movement.

Canada's yearly export of pulp and newsprint to the United States is ovtr $14,000,000, and this figure will be greatly increased as a result of the supply of European pulp. The paper mills of Japan, which have hitherto secured large supplies of pulp from Europe, are turning to the west coast of America to furnish this material, f&d as a result this large and valuable market will be enjoyed by Pacific Coast pulp-mills. The Spruce, Hemlock and Bal sam Fir forests in British Columbia make excellent pulp propositions, especially when it is. remembered that water power is very plentiful and transportation facilities on the coast cannot be excelled anywhere. The proofreader on a small country daily was a woman of great precision and extreme propriety. One day a reporter succeeded in getting into type au item about "Willie Brown, the boy who was burned in the west end by a live wire." On the following day the reporter found in his desk a frigid note asking, "Which is the west end of a boy?'' It took only au instant to reply: "The end the son sets on, of course." We are not vindictive. Justice is all we ask. Make it something slow and lingering, with boiling oil or melted lead in it for the Kaiser and his Prussian colonels aud we'll let it go at that.

"Can you, by any possibility," sa'il Miss Lavinia, lier eyes brightening, "be a relation ot uvr dear friend, Dean Chance?" > "I am his cousin," replied Barbara in a low tone. "Then, that is onite sufficient; I -ill write to him about you, lie is our greatest friend." "But will you faithfully promise, if you do write to him, ask him to regard the matter us quite secret? 1 have a good reason for that," said Barbara. "Have you child? Why?" "1 cannot speak of It!" "That doe-n't look well," said Miss Lavinia. "She's the most innocent lamb on Cod's earth; but she don't want, her best friends to know where she it at present. She has a good reasou for lhat, and that's all," said Mrs. Russell. "Now, then, my love, I think twelve shillings will do very well to start witli.

Thus did little Barbara Chance fall, metaphorically speaking, on her feet. Thus did she .-scape the terrible, the nwful fate which would have been liors if she had gone to Kate Jessop hid lived in Cliesney street, and, still ivurse, been .me of the girls in Ferrls's shop. Kate had described her friend In glowing terms. She was interrupted |n Ilie midst of her talk by the man's coarse remark��� "I don't care a twopenny bit. about per capabilities. What sort of looks .as gho? Is she kissable? Is she the ���iglit Scrt 0' gel���yon understand. Kate Jessop���and know what I am afler." "But you're not going lo treat Barbara chance like that," said Kate, "or ! won't introduce her to you." "Oil! Won't you, now? And you'Bay she wants lo earn her own living. She Can't earn her living at Ferris' with- .int. being civil to Ferris,, without doing what. Ferris wants. Not that he means any harm by the gels, but he has his favorites. You used to be one, Kate; then there came along Mary .indlay, and you were as jealous as Jealous could be, and now I'm hungry for a. fresh lace to look at. I'll lake ���iie girl; i don';, care, whether she has references or not; your reference will Assisted when necessary by Cuticura Ointment.

Of course, for the look of tli_ thing, I always say references, if your friend comes here, I'll give her ten shillings a week���and very good wages iliey ne -and she can pay ciglitpencc a week for her dinner, and sixpence a week for her lea. and if that ain't cheap, I don't know w! nt is. And many a little trea I'll ve her, if sbe takes my fancy; taking In mil, for instance, on tho lops nf 'buses- -and many a Utile spree. I know how In treat gels who please ine-but please me Iliey musi." Now there was a time in Kale .les sup's lite when she would have Uioughl little or milking of such remarks from the lips of her employer She' wus a coarse, common sort of u girl, and had been brought up in think very llllle nf goodness, uf purity, or i'i\ nf Ilie guod and best things uf iile; but her year nt the Rectory, and tbe h.ili, Ilie sweet, innocent look, of little Barbara's face, had worked a change In her, It was afler she had come bi eh from the Rectory, cured and in lier right mind, that Ferris hail turned his attentions to .Mnry .indlay, and although lie kept Kale in his shop and paid lier quite regularly, be did not give her any more so-called "attentions." She was very glad of lhai, but the thought of his attempting lo Insult little Barbara was dreadful to lier, and yet, what was she lo do for the child? The dear little lady, who had been so good to her! She looked up at Ferris; he was a tall man, and very fat. ile hud a coarse, red face, thick lips, and small eyes. He was altogether as detestable an individual as could be found anywhere. No wonder the girls in his shop bore a bad reputation. Once Ihey got into Ferris' it was all "up" with them! They never could get. a situation elsewhere. Still, Barbara was (starving; Barbara wanted money. Kate determined to stand firm. "You can have references," said. "The young lidyis a lidy I won't bring lier here if you're to her or treat her incivil." "Is she pretty? Tell me that. "1 think she's like an hangel," Kate. The man's eyes twinkled. "Give me a description of hei said. Kate did as well as she could she was not good as description; how ever, she managed to convey to the man tt picture of a sweet girl with lovely eyes, a nale face, refined littlo figure, and gentle manners. "Jest my sort," he .said to himself. "I do want her. But I must deceive Kate Jessop. I'll get her here, that I will. A pretty little gel like that can't, go a-begging, so to speak, and I, Henry Ferris, a-pining for a fresh one. I'm sick to death of Mary Findlay; she's always asking nie to marry her, and marry her 1 won't. Not I." So Ferris managed to convey to Kate Jessop the news that he would act with tie utmost decorum towards Miss Chinee; that he would treat her as he had never treated any other girl before; that he would not attempt to make free with her; that, in short, Kate Jessop, might safely bring her to his shop in Chesney street. Kate, therefore, went away with a happy heart. She was met witli tlie information that little Barbara was not going to Chesney street. Mrs. Russell had written her a short, pungent letter. "You need not come again, Kate Jessop. Barbara Chance is staying with me for the present, having got. good work to do, and is not going to leave my premises, 1 hope, for many a long day. So, keep yourself scarce, for I don't want Chesney street gels or gels from Ferris's shop around my plice. Now you know, l.eep yourself scarce, as admittance into this house you don't get." Kate cried witli anger. She said to herself: "I'll be even with Mrs. Russell yel. 1 tried to be kiud and do the best 1 could for Barbara. Didn't she ask me to help lier! And didn't. I take tlie room and all? And hero 1 am, stranded! But I'll be even with that Int. old 'oman yet." It was not easy, however, to be "even" with a woman like Mrs. Russell; and Barbara spent her days quite peacefully. The lirst thing to do was to get hor a proper wardrobe. She did not Spend anything like tlie ten pounds which the kind unknown bad given her. but she spent about live pounds of it- on a warm winter skirt and Jacket and u warm blouse, and witli these she started on her iew life. She found, however, that Miss Octavia was exceedingly exacting; she required her services at all hours and al any moment. Miss Lavinia went out "gadding" more than over. Hut Barbara wad happy because she was occupied, she used to go the very moment ]\'iss Ictavia rang her bell; she arranged to ring It in a special way for Barbara's benelit. When she wanted Mrs. Russell or Hannah to attend on her, she rang the bell once; but when it. was Barbara she wanted, the bell was rung twice, with two distinct strikes. Then Barbara went hurriedly to the room, gen-i orally to be received with the snappy remark��� "How slow you have been! I hate .being kept waiting!" "My sister's always like that," said Miss Lavinia, "tlie crassest old maid I ever met in all my days. You'll bave to put up with it, Miss Chance, but you'll get good wages, and I suppose that'll content you. I can't understand why you, who are cousin to Dean Chance, should want to come to us. But 1 suppose you have your own reasons, and I um very glad to have some one to read to my sister and satisfy her."

Mr. Turner points out the advantages of the new material as regards cheapness, cleanliness and perman ence. It is cheaper than any of its rivals, it harbors no vermin, It. can be cleaned by washing, tbe decorations can be supplied at the time rf manufacture and will never need renewing, and it will never need paint ing.

What the Forehead Tells People who have marked talent of any sort often have one deep, perpendicular wrinkle in the middle of their foreheads; with one or two others on either side. Long foreheads, with smooth skin and no wrinkles, characterize people of a quiet, sedate nature. Well arched brows, with one slight, perpendicular wrinkle, belong to wise and discreet parsons. Foreheads prominent just above the eyebrows denote strong individuality. A perfect forehead should have al- ,most straight eyebrows, clear and well defined, hut not heavy. A long tcrehaad shows intelligence'; a short one activity. A broad torehead denotes great, mental ability; an irregular, knotty one a bold, original and investigating mind.

LmiiMM mmw^d CURIOUS HUNTING CUSTOM Coorgs of Southern India Go at it In a Ceremonious Way There is a curious hunting custom among the Coofga of Southern India, When a luuil. Is arranged among the villagers they usually meet early iu tlio mornUig n. a prearranged aprt with tlieir dogs. According to the Coorg custom, they ull sit down for a while. Having rested, they proceed to discuss and decide which part ot the surrounding jungle they are to beat. Tlita being decided, the hunters 'station themselves nt points of vantage and the beater- endeavor lo drive tho game, if any, towards theni.' If before the hunt commences, any ot the dogs lie down and rub tlieir backs against the ground, it is con sldered a ;.ood onion und tlie hunters are sure ol a "kill" in the jiinglu they are aboul. to beat. Oil the conclusion of a successful day's hunt all the animals shot are brought together, beside a stream if possible, and cut up, none of the liuir being removed, first of al the head uiul thigh and ii slrlp of meat I'l'iim Ilie best purl is cut from each aninia', these being the reward of those who shot lhe animals. Strips of llcsh about ii cubit long are then cut for lim.-' who tlrst touched lhe animal after It wns shot, Then the number of men anil dogs lire counted, and the remaining portion is cut up into as many pieces ns there lire men and dogs, bitches among the dogs getting HO share. After this is done the distribution tulles place. The'"shooters" gel. their share first, then the "touchers,' the the oilier hunters, and lastly the dogs, their share being taken by the owners. A, speech is made praising the successful shots and wishing them better luck next time. Those who were not ready and did not (Ire when the game passed them (they still use the old muzzle-loaders) are censured, and now comes tlie curious part of tlie proceedings. Those unfortunates who ilred but missed are made to stand in the centre of a circle of thorns and are flogged on their bare legs until they bleed! Though most of these men are independent, well-to-do farmers they submit to this torture because "it is the cus torn." V. N.

Rose .olored Snow Snow of a beautiful rose color has fallen in the Alps, chiefly ou tlie Todi group of mountains (11,887 feet) iu the canton of Glarus. in analysis it was found to be impregnated with minute particles of sand.

The "rose snow" hung in the upper air several weeks before falling. ���London Standard. - Portmanteau Names The reports in the American press of tlie movements of troops on the Mexican borde..- are bringing to light some curious "portmanteau words" as names of towns.

WHEN FOOD TAXES YOUR STRENGTH You Need the Tonic Treatment of Dr- Williams' Pink Pills When the food you lake fails to nourish when it causes you pain and often a feeling of extreme nausea, the cause is indigestion. Your stomach is too feeble to do its work and you will continue tc suiter until you strengthen your digestive powers. Your digestion lias failed because your stomach is not receiving the pure, red blood of health to give it strength for its work. The tonic treatment of indigestion by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People succeeds by building up and enriching tlie blood supply,_o that the feeble digestive organs are strengthened, appetite is restored and tone given the whole system. Thtiiisiiuds have proved this by personal experience, us is shown by Ihe follow ing typical Instn uce. Mrs. James Doyle, Dartmouth, N.S., says: "For years I was a sufferer from Indigestion. I could not lake food without feeling teribie distress afterwards, and iu con- sequence I was badly run down. Sometimes after eating I would tnke spells of dizziness wifh a feeling of numbness throughout my body, and at other times my heart would palpitate so vio- lently that 1 feared I would die. Naturally I was doctoring continually but without getting better. Then my husband got me a supply of Dr. Williams' l'ink Pills and before long I found they were helping me, and I continued ta take them until I was restored to health. I was never in better health than I am now, and I owe it all to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." These Pills are sold by nil medicine dealers or you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams',Medicine Co., Brookvllle, Ont.

According to a calculation made by the International Geological Congress of Canada, the available supply of coal still unmlned in the world is 7,:i!l7,000,000,000 tons, enough to last 1,000 years' even if the consumption continues to increase at the present rate. Not Very Different Quickness iu repartee has been credited to Pad .rewski.

"Not so very different," quickly responded the great pianist. "My new friend is a dear soul who plays polo, J wliereas I am a dear Pole who plays solo." London, t is said, consumes 226 cubic meters of gas per person, while in the metropolis there are 1,574,000 gas stoves. Paris comes second in the list of gas consumers. Amsterdam third. Tlie gas consumed by the entire world last yea.' is estimated at 21,- 500,000,000 cubic meters, while to manufacture tills enormous quantity 60,- 000,000,000 tons of coal were necessary. This amount corresponds to the annual output of coal in France. The campaign against tigers in several places in India lias resulted in the enormous increase of wild pigs, which are doing great damage to crops.

VICTORIA NOTES One thousand people have declared themselves as being out ol work in Victoria, and there is no doubt that there are many more, Chinese, Japanese ond Hindus continue to have for tlieir respective countries where they eau live cheaply while the depression lasts in in 11. C. At the same time, the many Orientals who are left leave im stoi'ie unturned to earn a few outs. On au average the householder receives ten oils daily from orieutal peddU rs or oriental applicants for work. Needless to say, white men call on the same errand. It is very sad and lo be deplored. In the interior municipalities are refusing to re- n .w the licenses of Chinese laundries, on the ground that the white laundries are more than able to cope with tlie work. The action of ths Government in further extending the order against the entry of orientals deserves every support, and it is to be hoped that Hoards of Trade will pass resolutions to this effect. Even the Chinese friendly societies in Canada are circularizing their countrymen to slay in China for the present. After all, the while men who are out work have the first claim upon their more fortunate white brethren ("Sirs, ye are brethren") and it is within the power of the people of li, C. to make it an economic impossibility for any while man lo starve. During tlie coming winter, it is safe lo predict that uu tubers of unemployed will increase largely, and if a lar^e proportion of these men could be put to work clearing the hind, it would be an enormous benefit to everybody. A small wane and the ceriainity of bed and board would tempt many, who would do anything rather than starve. Wake up, Canada; your progress and your boasted advancement should prove equal to the emergency. The Hon. Martin Burrell is appealing to fanners to grow as much wheat as they eau next year, in view of the certain shortage. Since his appeal aud since the mention of the subject in these "Notes" last week, little Belgium has intimated lhat she will look to Canada for her supplies for some time to jcotne. Should Italy enter the j conflict in Eutope, and it is likely | that she will, with Roumauia, the shortage will be greater than ever. Never did Canada have such chances as are here today, if ouly she will throw off her legarthy and get a hold on them. The B, C, I Manufactures Association aresend- 1 ing agents to South America to ' take up what the Germans are unable to hold, and there should be a ! great future for the lumber industry a? a result. But that is only one instance; the Comox Valley can do its part also. The -imericaus say "Don't talk I about the war; talk business," but Canadians can do both if they try Great interest is being manifested I by the lumber industry in the open- ' ings which are being brought to the notice of operators by the Forest Branch, Victoria, As a result of the war, the Baltic is for the present closed, aud this means that the huge supplies of mine props and telegraph poles formerly imported into Great Britain from Scandinavian scources are held up. Lumbermen are being advised of the optning to send B, C. products | and it is said that of mine props i alone, one million and a half are required every week in the Old Country, while the telegraph poles I needed would keep many men steadily employed throughout the year. Enquiries about these openings should be made at Victoria. Advance. British Columbia, for the market is ^ ours once you get your foot in. The advance in the price of sugar is alarming, the last rise of 70 cents per hundred pounds having made a total rise of fa.60 since the war began, equal to 50 per cent advance. It is likelv to go still higher, and it is a bad outlook for the householder with many mouths to fill. Germany, France, and Austria no longer are able to send their beet sugar to Great Britain, hence the demand is greater than the supply. The West Indies will benefit, as will the dealers who had large stocks on hand, but it constitutes a severe hardship, especially in the case of such a necessity as sugar. Talking about war, the good patriot will pay his accounts up before he puts his name down on lie Relief fund list, It sounds ���somewhat harsh but it is a fact .hat the ultimate good will be greater that if he subscribes what does not really belong lo him.

Stallf. are free and the growers may use their wagons as stalls if s'.iey choose.
