NO CAUSE FOR I-t! KNOW ^

Yaiing .Lady’s Dtsappsarance Is Ver>l| MysterMus But Siilclf'e or £lope<[ m in t Am Doubted.

Where Is Miss Bryahtf Miss Lora Bryant, the State Normal

pttoll who mysteriously disappeared on Monday, ‘has left Ypsllantl—ad muefa Is. the general opinion of bev elaaamates, her fellow boarders at the Hoag bouse, the. college authorlj itles "and the officers who have in^veaUgatod.

But why she went away und whlth-^e r are now toe questions that pjuzzle.

The theory of foul play Is generallyjj ^ejected. People are hot murdered ini! Ypsilantl in broqd d ay li^ t. The theory| of suicide l8 scouted, as sbe appareuti; ly had iMither motive nor inclinatloni for such a deed.

am positive that Lora did not commit suicide,” said Miss Meilssai Warner, her room-mate, and a yoimg[ lady! bails from Bowling. Barryl: county, the same * place, from whlchf- toe missing gitl.came.

“L am equally positive." continued Miea Warner; "Thai toe did uot. elope.. She had no male friends.”

The banks of the river, the small woods and the cemetery- have beeujsearched by pcdicemen, deputy sheriffs and students, and tbei'e no trace of|the girl

W i th e r her. departure was plannedlj or Inspired on the spur of the mo-|' meto, no one ventures an opinion.

Every effort has 6een made by thei local police, toe sheriff of Washte-': naw! county and toe authorities of the; Michigan Normal college, to trace Miss Bryant, and to the assembled classes President Jones aunouuced:| “We have no clue,’’ thereby putting aj stop to the many runloys that the. young woman had been located andj that her dead , body had been discov­ered! I

An uncle of th e girl came Tuesday.' but left early In the evening. A sister la expected. The girl's father Is iani invalid and cannot leave home.

MiSa. B ryin t's home is a t DowHngj near.-Haatinga. H er folks did no^ know that she had lef» the city until*- so informed by President Jones.

It ie known that she received a let^ ter fr<Kn a young man whose acquain t ande she made a t Valparaiso, Ind.; White attending the Normal school there. But the letter, the girl’s room-: mate assures,-contained only common* place phrases, waa not affectionatei and = could not give rise to any sus: piclon.

I t has been ascertained that thi£li young man is In Chicago, and effort^' are .being ma^e to locate ;blm. Socte[ think that the .young womau has left: for a visit to some relatives or prob-. ably intends to go back to Valpai'aiso. Why, if she Intonded to carry out any, such plane, ahje should have left in a!; manner,BO myaterioua without sayings a word to hell friend and roommate,!' leaving her clothing bj$|ind. nobody is<' able to explain. [

Miae Bryant; haa been to Ypsilantil! only ten days, and nothing much is!' knoito of h e r . or her affairs. . L

Her classmates hardly ' knew her,{ and at the boarding house she was'' but- ifttle better knoWn. H er disap-; pearanoe, therefore, strikes the.people; as all the more mysterious.

Miss Bryant graduated from the , Valparaiso. Ind-. college, last August, and pursued studies there till No-|[ vember, since' which time she had been teaching a rural school near h e r ' home, ^ e was 25 years old, attrac-i; tive in appearance, was of stpeky build and weighed ab o u t'145 pounds..

A Bill to Make .Trust Pay Something*' for P ishing.;

Senator ^ in g has Introduced^ Ae ftrtt bill in the legislature that lills the fish trust, and all other non-resi­dent commercial concerns and individ­uals, • ■ « ‘ -

It hi a- singular fapt that while the state and federal' ghvernbient each spend teus of thousands of dollars an­nually planting fish in the great lakes, commercial fisherman, whether resi­dents or non-residents of the state, pay nob a single dollar jn taxes or other fees, for the privilege of raking fish. If an American tug goes over the bor­der and is caught taking fish In Cana­dian waters it. is liable to be fired on by the Canadian revenue entter. and if captured, of having the tug and nets coUflscated. Canadiah commercial flto- evmen. on the other 'band, are frae to fish anywhere in .Ameri<^ w a ten of the lakes during the open season./. Senator Ming's bill proposes to 1 ex­ac t a tax of $200 on ev non-residieni fishing tug w ith,a steam lift, and $100 for non-resident tugs without, a lift. Resident tugs with a steam lift a re to pay $25. and $10 if they have no lift.

A. Booth A Co. are a son-resident corporation. A ir the nigs have steam lifts, and will come under the $200 clausq. Booth & Co. are said to really own the tugs and nets used by many resident fishermen, an^ which are held in the names of thf^reeidents.

Stop' Improvements..4n. official of the Detroit .& Mac­

kinac railway says that ’ because of toe passage of the iwo-cent fare bill they will not expend any money for improvements for some time, and says that the Michigan Central and other roads will also adopt^the'same policy. The D. & M. is not 'affected directly by The iwo-cent fare bill bm. this of­ficial says, b ecau^ the Michigan Cen­tra l will have to carry i>as8euger8 from Bay City \o Cheboygan the D. AM. will have to meet the. price and as i t has longer .mileage between the two points i t will have to carry pas­sengers for 1% cents per mile.

“We are iiow paying about 8 per cent of our earnings to the state In taxes,” says the official, ''and, toaddi- tion, are assessed for taxes on about $365,000 elevator property. As a mat­te r of fact, we haven’t aq elevator along the line. It is this -ijolicy that put.s n stop to lmprc)veniP»!fs along our road." ‘

Making Binder T>A^e.That ihe governor's propoRCd bind­

er twine plain v.ould b<* a paying propositioa to ihV' .-taio is the opinion of Warden A. N- Aru'.auong. of Jack- sou prison, who adds that the legisla- im v should make, ju’cvlislou 10 pay prifosu-rs making ihe twine for over­time, as do private comiiictors in the case of prison labor.

“There are a thousand ways in which the prisoners could slight fhelr work.” rays Warden .\rm*irong. "and if a prisoner's heart is not In i l s work the result is the aame as a man on the outside. Thh contractoi*s pay by the piece on overtime. Many^workers earn as high as $15 a mouth, uud-it makes toem feel as though tto y were, of -tome acoeuo4. A great deal o f this money goes to help support wives, children and parents outside. The ef- feot is good. The success of the bind­er twiite pUmt depends oiT,running it on business principles.”

' Mother's Arm Broken.“It hurts me more than It does you

Harold d idn ’t reply lo the language of the time-worn jtoie, but .tried to get away and mamma’s band fell quickly and firmly. But it was really mamma •who was hurt, for her arm was broken hetweeh the wrist and . the elbow. Someone else-will xjunish Harold here after. I

John dSrney.As Bir. Carney was ushered Into

my private offic . I rose to greet him, and stepped from behlh|d my desk with outstretched hand; ba t as be raised his face to mine I drew back In amaxO' m eat and disgust and! motioned him to a chair with scant ceremony.

VDnmto! the beast!"! I mutteeed to myself, as he sham^blod drowsily to the seat 1 had indicated and dropped Into It with a thickly uttered **Thank yon."

He seemed to fall asfleep for a mo- mqpt, and I eyed hind steadily for some time before I could bring myself tq speak. .And so the handaonie, straight­forward, manly fellow of t;Jiree years ago had sunk to this! A sodden, de­graded wTeteb, unfiti to associate with p igs 'in a sty, and yet the heir to a vast estate and the sole legitimate protector of the aweet-Taced orphan at Carney-Croft who awaiQed his coming with the impatience boim of love and hopb and confiding trust! God help the 'poor girl now. and God help the accursed 'wreck that sat opposite me!

His heavy breathing wheezing in and out of his throat; his listless, stupid face, flushed and-mottled from the effects of his excesjses; his body, dripping with pefspiratibn which stood out in beads on. bis forehead and glistened on his.hand as i t lay in the sunlight: and bis drbop^g, blood-shot

portisilty to rast from yotir 5eume]^ and your—ahem-^your health has Im­proved somewhat?”

I reg;retted my..words on the in s tan t In spite of the m an 's condition, they seemed to have cut him to the tjuiek. An expression of. anguish, pitiful to see. passed over his face and bis whole body trembled. V After a moment he said slowly with tbe same wonderful self-control:

"My health, as yon choose to call I t Mr. Ware, 'wUl not improve to any sjh preciaUe d e g f^ . and m y mind Id, a t this m om ent as clear as i t will ever be. I wish you to draiy up a will leav­ing everj’thing I possess to my sLsfw, Florence Carney, and 1 wish, ^ so , to give you power of attorney so ^ a t from this time on, you can. conduct the estate In my stead and supply her with such foods as she may need, do not expect to spend mucl^timo ^ Camey-Croft. and I want these mat­ters attended: to now, before I go there a t all,"

His ideas were so thoronghly In ac­cord with bis duty to hie sipter that I was now anxious to c a rry .T h ^ out at tm re as he requested, lest another op- porti^nfty might never occur. I t took but a ghort time to. arrange the details of ihc will, and then it and the power of attorney were signed by him te a trembling hand a n d . . w itn^sed by

/members of my office staff.When these formalities were over

and we were alone again, Mr. Carney said abruptly: \

"I am going to Carney-Groft to-nlghi and have wu'«<l Florence to have p carriage for mq at the midnight train and not to ^it up. ■ I don’t expect to stay-there long, and I should think it would-be better to close the place and have her take a bouse here in town where she would be more comfort* able.’’ • -

eyes, no-a* half closed and again wan dering aimlessly about the room :-all combined to make a disgusting pic­ture. It was with the utmost difficulty that I could restrain my. feelings suf- flciently to address him with ordhfary civility. Finally, my jmlgraent pre- yalled over my indignation, and I re* membercil that I was the legal ad­viser. only, of the house of Carney, and not in any way concerned with the moral i n d u c t of its head.

"You had a -comfiirtable journey. I hope.” I remarked Icily.f^

"As comfortable as such a journey can be.” he whceV.od. Ituming his bleary eyes toward me as he spoke! “The conditions which made 'toy homo- coming necessary did' not make my trip enjoyable, and I traveled with thd' greatest possible haste, as there are certain m atters that I want you to ar­range for me a t once.”

He epoke his words ^ t h a force and precision unusual in a man in his con­dition, but be was evidently control- lug himself to th e utmost degree-and. as he talked, bis face flushed In great blotehee. bis blood-shot eyes seemed almost bursting from his bead,, and the -perspiration oosed trom his body and trickled In little atreams down his cheeks and neck.

'‘Do you wish to hear aiiy of the de? tall* of ytmr father's death.?" I asked in a most m atter of fi^et tope.

*!No. thank you." he saidL with some effo rt "I fbond a tons d e t e from fToiMjuee a t my hotel ^ s morning and she h ss told me e v e irk h l|^ r wish

I watched him closely as I ansvered. "Do yon not know that her friendA,

Miss Weston, is with her?” '.Annie Weston there!” he

exoprimeiT. "Is she well?” *"No.” I rejlied, studying h im . / ‘She

"I nevpr dreametl that Annie •Wes­ton would be in my bodse," he whis­pered, as If to himself- ‘ Poor-gdrli Poor girl!” . .

“When Miss Carney a ^ e d her to come, Miss W’eston did not know, that you wexW to return, and even now she has not been told that you are oH' your wa^ home,” I continaed.

TUNNELS BUIL TABOVEGROUNDTwo underground depots .and a

considerable length of connecting tun- uel, for -the use of the Metropolitan subway lines of Paris, are being ! con­structed on a public street, and when /•ompletcd win be sunk Into position. In other words, this unusual piece of cugiuecring v^rk consists in building, u tunnel in' the open air.

The D^ain line of the Metropolitan railway crosses' the two branched of the Seine’ and the Isle of Cite, which divide the river, a t a point just south of the Bridge of St. Michel. That jpor- tion of t l ^ line which crosses the is­land is being built In the stijeet, where the great steel framework rls-

wQrk will be placed a thick lining of concrete to exclude water, while the sides and arch will be covered with white enameled tiling and -the floor with cut stone blocks and slabs, upon which the track will be laid. "When the metal section Is finished, -excava­tion will be made beneath It and the great m^ass allowed to gradually set­tle to permanent position a t the prop­er depth.,

Two depots are included in the work described, both located on the Islgnd. These are obtained-by enlarging the tunnel j;0 a ring-shaped construction, with provision fo’r ticket offices, wait­ing rooms, etc. One of the depots

F R ID A Y * A l»R ili,19 . 1907." ■*1 ~

Tow nsh ip Rood System .

T he lecpslature of 1905 enacted a law wherein all township road work is dune 00 a <^ah basis, resulting in better roads and more work for the money. The system has been adopted by many townships and we .have wondered why' the farmers of Plymouth hkve not asked the township board to submit the m a t te r ^ a YOte. By adopting this system the SU te pays 91,000«per mile fo r permanent road improTements and if t ^ farm ersiuhite ip the m atter some of the main roads in and out of the vil lage could be made materially better. The Chetaea Standard speaks thuawise of the proposition:

The electors ofSylyan by a large ma jority adopted’thetownahiproad system a t the recent election, which will go in to ^ e c t a t once.

The law was passed by -the State Leirislature of 19^, and is known as Public Act. 66.

By the adoption of this lav * hW path- masters named and the appropriations made at the recent towq meeting be­come null ami void. The road work will be done under the direi.lioQ of four highway, commissioners, and the town board will have the gonerul sup­ervision of tlie work.

'I'he expense for all highway work will be sprea4 at*large on the tax roll anil tivery property owner will pav his proportion of the highway tax When he pa vs his general taxes next Decem­ber.

The town board held a meeting last Thursday afternoon, divided the town­ship, by section ■ lines, in ta ^onr road districts, and a t the next annual town election there will be four highwav commissioners on the ticVfts, instead of one, as in the past.

Under the presentsystem ,if a farmer care to and is.called upon by the com missioner to work on the biSh''^^y>be will receive an order 00 tbd township treasurer for the am ount of his labor,. YThich he can have cashed a t fhe time be receives it, or he can c^rry it and turn It in when he pays his taxes.

In the futiire, however, all'highw ay taxes must be paid in cash, and the am ount expended on the public roads by the coramiasiooers will, undoubted­ly, make a far better showing chan under the patbroaster system.

Editor Mail; As the p a v ^ g of Main street is in the minds of tbe peopto in ; yonr gem of a city, would it be out of place fo suggest that the milkmen, farmers and t a t payers h e lp o n t in this much needed improvement? Are we poit all interested in t h e ! th rift a n d - growth of the village as much as those • living inside the corporation^^ ] j

Departing from tbe advice of the | late Gov. Bagley—Pay as you go—I j will suggest that the township vote to I issue 20 Year bonds 'for eight o r ten thousand dollars to apply on the pav­ing from Harvey street to Main on SdttOD street and from Ann Arbor street to the Mill road on Mkin street. The bonds can be placed for a low rate of interest and tbe rising generation pay them. To have this improvement it might cost the average taxpayer 75 cents or one dollar year more on his taxes. Wilt suggest, too, that the road wpy be tbe same as the crosswalks we DOW have. Employ a competent man and do tbe work by the day. Give no foreign oontractor a big bonus on a small, poor job.

Brother farmers, if we want this im provement we must h e lpdo .it. We cannot expect the day la ^ r e r in the factories and shops, while trying to pay for iheir small homes, to vote to bond the village unless there comes help from the farmers who are mostly di-* rectly benefited. I t is a pride to be known as a suburb to the great city of Detroit, but When they .want us in their city limits we must kick.

So m e N otes O n Oats.

A t tbe M ichigan'A gricultural Col­lege equaF a re as 'o f oats of different varieties were sown April 21, 1906: Tbe varieties tested were the A m eri­can Banner, Garton T artan 's King, an imikirted variety, and the Swedish Select. The soil was no^absolutely nnlform* bo i varied from one square rod to another as a ll the laud on the college farm does. The area sown to each variety was slightly over one-half acre. The yields were as follows: American Banner, 58 bo. 4 lbs. per acre; tbe Garton T artan 's King, 44 bu. 12 th ^ and the Swedish Seleet, 41 bti to th^ acre.

Tbto so il was a very light sand y loam, not w ell adapted to oata but resemb­ling a great many Acres of farm'^iand In Michigan.

The treatment of oats for smot proved vec effective. Xhe forcoalin treatment was tbe oite adopted- One pound of formalin was mixed wi1&40 gai. of water and the oats, placed in a gnony sack, were dipped 1 in the solu­tion, tbordkfbly shaken' in the siu^ while in tbe eolation to. see that all aldee of every kernel wm tboronghly wet. The wet oats then' spread out 00 a otean flodr to dry and were sown tbe next day bk aUo#ed to thoroughly dry before' aewinff. * Another method found elsewhere .equally 1 efleoQve and tried at the station in prevlooa yeaft, is to mix 1 lb. of fonnaUa In 40 al. of water as before, The oats de spread

four or five inches thick on Uie granary floor and a spripklliig' oan or sprayioE pump distribntes the Hqaid on the oa^ which are leveled over well while the solntion isl|wiBf applied, to insaia, eadi kernel a tberongb watting, i in this caaei the oats are piled ap $nd 'enveted with sac^ to prevent too r^ id keoape.'q^tbeformalin land are le ft; cDYwred oyer night, 'the oets are tlhea dried off qoieklY.

SCHRADER BROS.

I t seems that other towns are making u loud “howl” about the raising of post- othce bo’x rents by the goveroinent, as well as i'lymouth. The raise Is noth­ing more or less tlian ’ robbery. The Mail, with ottiers, pays' i?2-40 per year rent for a little box 6x8 inohes. Small­er boxes pay even more iii proportion* The fanner gets his moil carried to him free, and so does the man ia cities of over 5,000 populatioq. In the vil­lages you have to go a fte r yoiir mail and If for a little more convenience you w ant a box the governmept “soaks” you for it. The Rochester E ra of last week has this to say about it:

T he tiou of tbe poatofflce depart­ment in nearly doubling -box rents has been the means of greaily dempraliz- in g tbe service, in this section a t least, .^ t Orion and Oxfotd {about one-balf of tbe patrons of the i office have thrown up. their boxes and take their mail from general delivery, mak- iog tbe work of the postm aster largely iucreased, while, the revenue said offices are reduced. Great dissajisfac* ftioD is expressed by those patrons com- l^lied to pay tbe b x tra box fenl. ioei- >Dg;that they are discrimioated ags’nst and th a t the increase is made u {p 'r i ’ ally make u p . the deficiency in oChe. departments of the postal sirvice. I'he dissatisfaction is .evidenced all

over the state and country and bids fair to bO made an issue pdlUicaily before long. . •}

I The Paving Proposition.

Since tbe figures were published la ^ week of the estimated cost, of pajving l^ain street with brick, it is stilted by aTiumber of gentlemen who halve some knowledge- of paving nfat- rel's, that tbe work cannot be don^ at thie estim ated price, and that it will c(|st from 820,(xij to ^ .0 0 0 , Presittent m n o e tt now thinks the property own- eis should pay one half the expejise, ttje village the balance. A brick p^ve- .ijent does not appear to be generally favored, the id ea being th a t a good iiiacadam road would answer the pur- piose. We believe ia front of the i^us isess p.'operty, between And Arbor .a^d Sutton streets, the pavements sjiould be of! brick.; Something defl- idte will ' probably! develop at the ejouncil meeting next Mondav evening.

“You may laugh a t us fo r believing in our hoodoo doctor," said one colored woman, ‘but w hat Is the difference be­tween him and the divine healers of white folks?”

The negro peoi^le, or a t least a great majority of them, are finh believers In tue power of the evil splj'it and go so far as to credit some of tbelr race-wltb the power to "conjure" 40 enemj^ or one of whom the conjurer is jeal­ous. *

When such a person pays a social ca^l to a supposed friend the first thing necessary a fter the visit,;according tc the hoodoo doctor Is to ^hrow coarse salt over the floor of the room In which the alleged conjurer has; visited, and then, with a vigorous' moveiiient, sweep the salt east and west and north an d ‘south, the while the Iw eeperm ut ters an incantation known only to the hoodoo doctor tind to bis ipatients.

The nest sivi) is to send for the hoo doo doctor—the quicker tihe better, In order that the conjurer n^ay not,bavc time to get in his deadly work or tc work any material harm to the health or the happ in^s of bis victim.

^Tien the hoodoo doctor arrives upon the scene he goes:through the salt sweeping process agdin and calls upon the evil spirits toj depart in- stanter. His visits arej preferably made a t night, but where this is im- practicable the room wherein lies the victim of the dread ho o d ^ is darken­ed. The hoodoo doctor then proceeds to mb his patient—aTways In the dark —and the evil spirits he robs out o f a conjufed patienr are sa id 'to be ma^ veloue Iff sise and hideous to behold .-^fter the rubbing process is over the hoodoo doctor prepares a concoction :>f hard boUed eggs, fresh ^rass in sum­m er or the dried article in winter, a hindful of twigs and several othex mysterious and more or ,lecs unpala ab le ingredients, the, concoction a se cret known f>nly to the hdodoo doctor

sene the Beet Agent i fa r Cfeanslng-^Use of Oil.

There a re but three im p o r t^ t parti to the common double-thread machine, the needle, the shuttle and the feed.

In cleaning a sewing imadiine use a small Screw driver, a stick about the U se of a lead pencil, with a long siend- , W point, a piece of cotton qloth' and some machine oU., In taking a machine apart do go At It In a haphazard way. but com­m ence %t one side and work] towards the o ther side, taking oE everything as you go that needs cleaning.

Have a table with plenty o t room, and as fast as the pieces a r e : removed

.toy them there In the order In which they were removed.

,Be particularly careful not to lose any of the' small screws, for ithey are frequently of such a thread tha t you eannot get a duplicate.

Af&r you have taken off the small parts carefully clean the body of tbe machine.

Kerosene will act like magic in tak ­ing off the hardened oil and dirt, and the sharpened stick will be very serv­iceable Ini reaUiing every crevice.

In oiling the machine use none but the very best oil. I t is a good Idea once in a while to use a little kero­sene. This wiQ keep i t free from gum.

When the body of the mAchlilb Is cleaned every bearing and, surface sub­ject to frietJon should be polished bright. As soon as a piece is cleaned put it -back in place. In a lew minutes you will have everything in place again.

Then oQ carefully using ra ther ^ little than too much oil.

SIDE LIGHTS THE BEST.

High Central Charvdelier Not Particu­larly Effective.

When the drawing room, reception room or living room does not appear cosy and attractive when lighted up a t nigt *. the fault often lies with the chandeher. A room that Is, lighted only from a center chandelier Is apt to have a. glaring, cold appearance, particularly when the room Is long and narrow. Side lights are Che only remedy for this, unless there are plenty of softly shaded lamps'around the apartment. A high central l l ^ t is rarely cozy, nor la the case of a long room does it brighten It evenly. Candle brackets on the side walls are better if there are no gas fixtures there.

It Binst be remembered that!a room does not have to be glaringly lighted up a t any time. A weM-distHbuied, soft light is better upon t i l occasions Soft lights do not necessarily mean low lights, as a pborly lighted room is equally bad taste. It remains for the clever woman to arrange her lighting, ao that it leans to ^neither extreme.

HOUSEHObO TIPS.

A good beefsteak, however well cooked, will not be a t its best unless Served directly It la ready.

To remove coffee or tea stains from white flknnei' and all sorts of woolen materials apply a mixture of egg and glycerin. This may after­ward be washed out with warm wg- ter.

Tbe creates can ‘ be taken out of velvet and the j)Ile raised by drawing It across a hot Iron on which a wet’ cloth has been spread. If thqre are pin-marks over which the pile i'Cfuses to rise, brush it up with a stiflj brush and sieam it. repeating the operation several times. I

To clean mother-of-pearl, wash with powdered whiting and cold wa­ter, Hot water and soap must not bo used on any account, for they would destroy the so't't • iKliliancy, which Is the chief beauty df this sheli.

Good Food fop Invalid^Mtik and eggs arc the basis of most

“light and nourishing" foods, because in themselves they contain everything necessary to build up the bodily tis­sues, 'to make Aeat, and give energy. They should, therefore^ form the staple, part o f the d ie t Cnrds-and-whey'ai^ junkets are fa r too little used to the feedtog of tovalids. They are both to- valaishle. for they present milk to a ilgestible ta d appettotog lomi. and theeelore often tem pt people to ^ e it wttilBvUiey have grown wbaiy It In puMtogs.

Easily Prepared at Home and Harm- lees to Use.-

This is known as “Blood-Cleaning Time*” especially among the older folks, who always take som ^btng dur­ing this month to clean the blood i of impurities and build it up.

The following is the recipe as given by a well-known authority, and any­one can prepare iVat hoiAe:

Fluid Extract ' Dandelion one-half ounce, Compound ■ Kargon one ounce. Compoundj Sy^up Sarsaparilla three ounces. | ,

Get these simple ingredients from any good phai-macy and mix by shak- .ing well in a bottle. The dose is one teaspoonful after meals and a t bed­time.

Ever>’body should take something to ,htip the blood, which becomes impov­erished and almoist sonr after the win­te r season, especially those who' are subject to Bheumatism, Catarrh, Kid­ney and Bladder trouble.

It is said that one week's use of this mixture will clear the skin of sore%, pimplas or bolls.

This is sound, healthy advice, whkb will be appreciated by many I'eaders. .

POPULAR APPROVAL OF THEFT.

Unlucky Man*s Modest Request for \ Pecuniary Assistance.

Raymond Hitchcock,- tbe comedian, while in New Orlea.iS a.few. months ago, took the opportunity of going to toe races. During the afternoon he cashed several tickets, tffe result M good guesses.. He was feeling h a p ^ after the last race, and started for the automobUe which was to coAvey him back to his hotel. As he waas about to climb into the machine be felt 4 hand on his arm. and. a , man shouted to his ear:

“Heliov:^Hltchcock, bew> are yon? Hear you put a crimp in the bookies to-day.*’ ..

Hitch&>ck blushed and phook hands sheepishly, not rece^lziito the man, and not wishing to show It.

“Say, 1 want to speak ^o you con- fidentially,". said the stranger.

“All right; what Is it?’* asked the comedian.

“Well, I am up pgalnst some hard luck to-day. They cleaned me and I want to get home. Now. don't ' let any one of these people see ypu. but slip me enough for car fare, win you?”

“Sare,” said Hitchcock, placing bis hand in his pocket. Then be paused and queried: ' “Where (to you live?’* '

"Vancouver," was the answer.Hitchcock took a flying leap for his

English Writer Sees Significance in Glorification of Robbers.

The i(lea of private property has never been fully accepted by the masses of tbe people, and never had their cordial approval as an institu­tion, says a w riter In the London News. The most popular songs and ballads ef our nation In all ages, it may be noted, have been those which described, symi^thetically attacks on private p roper^, from the Robin Hood cycle to tbe broadsheets In which Turpin and ; Sheppard wefd made heroes.

Even nowadays the lUeratiire that really touches the< people, the litera­ture th a t the ed u ca t^ classes seldom so much as see e^imsed for 'sale, the literature that lb sold In the small ‘general** shop lA the back street, and costs fewer penntos than the novel we know costs ahllUi^gs, still very largely deals with the .foraantic exploits of tbe robber. He la never a villain; he Is noble and geherous to a .fau lt; but he is convinced of the impropriety of persons having te a much money.

Our distinctions do not lie In the places which we occupy, hot in the grace and dignity with which we fill them.

I t will assuredly seem imore - than strange that w-ithfu. the past hundred years the wearing o f tronaers has been regr.rded m iryellgious. The fact th a t in October. 1812. an order was made by St. John's and ’Trinity col­leges that every y q } ^ man who ^ peaned ig ball or chapel in pantsloons- o r trousers should be considered as absent Is startling enough; but it would appear toatJ eight years later the founders erf a Bethel chapel at Sheflfeld Inserted i a clapae in th® tru s t deed ord^nfog that ‘‘under no cirenzaetances whktever .shall any preacher be aHowied to occupy the pulpit who wears Itrousers.” 'This is striking, but it Is even more impres­sive to fln^ that Rev. Hugh Bourne,' one of the two founderslof the Primi­tive Methodist Connexion, said of his confounder. “T h a t. trousers wearing, beer drlnking-HClowes will never get to heaven.” And It wodld need a stu­dent of “the Brecicbes Bible” to say precisely when th ^ i^ n m e d con­nection between theblogy and trposers began and where the departure from it will end.—Notes and Queries.

Rights of Employes Laid Doiwn. “Fram ers'of the earliest laws which

Hammurabi, codified over 40 oenturies ago have law upon law ilevoted to the-rights pf servants. If ftae servahts were free bom then thefr cate of, payment was fixed to r th«m. their seato of comtmn- satlon established In the event of their suffering lops o r thjnry.

Regarjto*k the granting of the medal of honor th e Army Register says:

*Tn order tha t the medal of honor may be awarded, officers enlisted men must i>erfonn in action deeds of most, distinguished personal bravery, or self-sacrifle^ above and beyond the calTof duty, so conspicuous as clearly: to distinguish them for gallpntry and in­trepidity above their oozm ^es, ihvolv- i i ^ risk of life or the performance of m ore 'than ordinarily hazardous serv­ice. and the omission of which would not Justly subject the person to .cen­sure as fPr shortcoming..or failure .in the performance of his duty* The rec­ommendation for the medal w ill: be judged by this standard of extraordi­nary zgerit, and incontestable proof pf -toe performance of toe^ service will iM exacted.”

At the presmit time 1 there are only 64 officers and enlisted men In our army who possess the congressional medal.

The awarding of these covers-a period of 45 years,! inclnding_days of the civil war. todlani campaigns, tbe Spanish-Ameiicah war.j toe Philippine insurrection aad toe; Boxer trouble in China.
