Box 81. Elinira, is'. Y. Stones are "Alive." Tho most curious specimens of vege table or plant life in existence are tho 80-called "living stones" of the Falk land Islands. Those islands are among the most cheerless spots in tho world, being constantly subjected to a strong polar wind. In such a climate it is im possible for trees to grow erect, as they do in other countries, but nature has made amends by furnishing a sup ply of wood in tho most curious shape imaginable. Tho visitor to the Falk lands sees scattered here and there singular shaped Mocks of what appear to be weather beaten and moss covered bowlders, in various sizes. Attempt to turn one of these "bowlders" over and you will meet with- a surprise, because the stone is actually anchored by roots of great strength; in fact, you will find that you are fooling with one of the native trees. No other country in the world has sucli a peculiar "forest" 'terowth, and it is said to be next to to work tho odd shaped clocks into fuel, because the wood is perfectly devoid of "grain," and ap pears to be a twisted mass of woody fibres. Agriculture In Northwest Canada. The Canadian government has issued a census bulletin, which gives statis tics as to agriculture in Alberta, Assin iboia and Saskatchewan, which united compose tho Northwest territories. The total area of these territories is 190,- 963,117 acres, and only 6,509,064 acres are occupied as farms. Of this area, 75.99 percent is unimproved. Field crops, exclusive of hay, occupy 53 per cent, of the improved land, but only a fair beginning has been made with fruit trees and vegetables. The area of land in wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, peas, potatoes and ether field roots in 1891 was 194,773 acres. The increase at the end of the last decade was 694,- 073 acres, or 333 per cent. The pro- Y (taction of homemade butter is nearly twice as much as ten years ago, and In the interval 10 factories have been put In operation.

There was exhibited some time ago In the museum of tho Royal United Service Institution one of Queen Victoria's chocolate boxes, In the lid of which is still deeply imbed ded a Mauser bullet. To that same collection there has just been added an even more remarkable relic. This is a silver cigarette-holder case, which was struck by a bullet at a distance of 1.200 yards while It was In tho pocket of a Captain of the Imperial Yeomanry. Tho curious part about It is that the oflleer was not aware until afterward that he had been struck, although tho bullet also pierced tho sovereign purse and cigarette case which he was carrying in tho same pocket DEER-HUNTING IN NORTHWEST. How tho Indians 6ecure Vonlson fop Their Larder. A New Yorker who lives a small fraction of the time in the -city, being usually long distance* away in pursuit of game, tells the methods pursued by the Indians of British Columbia in tak ing deer. They have evolved a sys tem. the huntsman says, that shows practical skill and sympathy and know ledge of natural conditions. He says: "The Indians, to begin with, do not hunt deer for the pleasure of hunting. They go for deer as a housekeeper goes to market for beef. And, what's more, in British Columbia, at any ratll they don't go often. Salmon are plen tiful in the rivers and easily caught. So, why chase animals when t..oy can secure fish? It is something, as it is in New Foumdland, where I went a couple of seasons ago. There the pre vailing flfch, as you might say, is cod. And, though there is no end to the variety of edible llsh that can be taken, tho natives never think of eating any thing else. Cod is plentiful, and they form the habit I suppose. This is so ingrained that they call codfish "fish" simply. The genus is divided into cod and the rest of fish. Well, when the British Columbia Indian makes up his mind for venison he goes at it sys tematically and without sentiment. A group of half a dozen or 12 men split and take either end of a valley. Then they proceed along the mountain slope from the two ends to the center. They choese the sheltered side of the valley, which the deer seek to escape the wind. Bach party covers the moun tainside, some near the foot, and some at the top, and others between the line, keeping abreast by an imitated owl hoot. The deer on 'winding' pursuit have a trick of leaping away down the slope, unlike goats, which go up, and thus between the two approaching par ties they are swept together at the middle of the valley. A good-sized herd will thus be killed off, and the Indians are supplied for many weeks by two or three days' exertion." The Air-and-Draft Cure. An American-English duchess re cently boasted to me of the good which had been done to her by a course which was not only new to me, but was so strange as to be almost comical. The "air-and-draft cure" is what she praised, and it was a remedy for cold hands and feet. This cure is taken at a tiny place in the Ardennes mountains —in a single building there, a sanitar ium. As I understood it, this building is bereft of bed room windows, and has great apertures in tho walls in stead. The patient retires to a well bestowed bed, but leaves uncovered and exposed her feet and hands. Strong winds make the Ardennes their playground, and these blow through tho bedrooms anl over the extremities of the patients, and, in some mysteri ous way, their members develop a strong circulation and are presently able to resist cold, and to guarantee to themselves uninterrupted warmth for all time to come. —Cosmopolitan. Slippers Made of Paper. Some of the European hotels are in troducing a novelty by furnishing each guest on his arrival with a pair of pa per slippers, and tho plan is expected to contribute largely toward the clean liness of the hostelries. The slippers are cheap. They are made wholly of paper, according to the Detroit Free Press. The soles are of pasteboard and the rest is made of white or brown paper, stitched v/ith heavy cotton to prevent tearing. There are various qualities. Tho most expensive is made of an extra good quality of white paper. The cheapest is made of common brown straw paper. These paper slip pers are so cheap that new ones can be furnished to each guest. An at tempt is being made also to introduce them in hospitals and public institu tions, as they would add much to clean liness and form another preventive of contagion, since each pair could be thrown away or destroyed as soon as the wearer has done with them. The Northern of France Railway Company, it is stated, has decided to install wireless telegraphy on its Do ver-Calais cross-channel steamships. "PE-RU-NA SAVED MY LIFE," Writes Mrs. W. Mcßcberts. _____ Women Made Strong and Happy riotbers. Catarrh of the Pelvic Organs !s a Fre quent Cause of Barrenness. Pe-ru-na Eradicates Catarrh From the System. TO tho woman of ancient Israel not to become a mother waa regarded as the greatest of earthly caiamities. 'i?o become a mother—more especially the mother of a strong, healthy boy—was the height of glory for the faithful woman of the good o.d liible days. Even now, when maternity is nQt esteemed as of vore. the mother of healthy children is an object of admiration, and sometimes envy, by her neighbors. As compared with ancient peoples, the average American woman has a low appreciation of motherhood. There are, however, a great many exceptions to this statement. The accompanying letters from grateful women who have been made strong, healthy and happy mothers need no added words of ours to make them convincing. Catarrh had weakened and impaired their entire systems. Peruna made them sound and well. Mrs. L. M. Griffith. Arco, Idaho, writes: "Your medicine (lid me a wonderful amount of good. It cured me of barren ness. I am 30 years old and never had any children; but since beginning your medicine I gave birth to a 10-pound baby A YOUNa MOTHER'S LETTER. Mrs. W.

Some would not belieye it until they came to see me. "My husband snys he never saw such a change in any one as there was in me after I had taken three or four bottles of Peruna. I am stronger than I have been since I was nuite young. God bless you i and your medicine forever. 1 cannot tell you all. My letter is too long already; but I will say Peruna cured me. I never saw or heard of anything half so good. I can never thank you enough for your kindness. In cases of lu grippe it works like a charm. It cured my baby when other medicines failed. She was real bad with la grippe."—Mrs. L. M. Griffith. Mrs. E. E. Thomas, Alpha, Mo., writes: "I have used your Peruna and Manalin. I had been doctoring for several years, but A New El Dorado. If experience shall confirm the re ports made by experts of international reputation concerning the richness of a new gold-bearing district in Alaska, we are more likely to experience a glut than a scarcity of the yellow metal for sometime to come. The more con fidence is attached to the reports be cause the public has not been invited to take part in the exploitation of the placer-mines to which we refer, as it is said that they have been purchased by an Anglo-America syndicate, in which the Rothschilds are represented. If it be true that over a very extensive area the gravel yields on an averago two dollars in gold to the cubic yard, there is nothing extravagant in the es timate that something like an annual output of $50,000,000 may bo expected for 10 years to come. As the cost of extracting the gold from the gravel is computed at only 60 cents per cubic yard, the proportion of profit should be large. Nor is this the only quarter from which large additions to the an nual flow of gold from the Klondike and the South African Rand may be looked for. Extensive deposits of gold are known to exist in Mexico, and it is only a question of time when the min ing energies of that country, hitherto concentrated upon silver, will bo devot ed to an exhaustive research for the yellow metal. The more the world's stock of gold is Increased the more desperate, of course, appear the pros pects of bimetalism. Swedish Marriage Customs. The Scandinavian bridegroom pre sents to his betrothed a prayerbook and many other gifts, which usually in clude a goose. She, In turn, gives him, especially In Sweden, a shirt, and this he invariably wears on his wedding day. Afterward he puts it away, and in no circumstances will he wear it again while alive. But ho wears it in his grave, and there are Swedes who earnestly believe not only in the res urrection of the body, but in the ver itable resurrection of the betrothal shirts of such husbands as have never broken any of their marriage vows. The Swedish widower must destroy on the eve of his second marriage the bridal shirt his first wife gave him. A Valuable Discovery. An optical screen used in Tyndall's experiments was transparent only t the heat rays of the spectrum cutting out ultra-violet as well as all visible rays. For a third of a century phys icists have been seeking a similar screen that would pass only ultra-vio let rays, cutting off all others. This discovery—stated to be of great scien tific value—has been made at last by Prof. R. W. Wood, who has been aware for some time that nitroso-dlmethyl aniline would exclude all rays except the ultra-violet and some red and vio let, but has only succeeded in obtain ing the desired effect by combining this substance with cobalt glass. A remarkable peculiarity of the chemi cal named Is that it gives a spectrum 30 times as broad as that yielded by ordinary quartz.

It picks the potato up and looks it over—or seems to—cuts it into halves, quarters or any desired number of parts, separates the eyes and removes the seed ends. It plants whole potatoes or parts thereof, as desired, as near together or as far apart as the judgment of the farmer on the driving part suggests. Having dropped the seed it covers it, fertilizes it, tucks it in like a child put to bed and paces off the next row with mathe matical accuracy. Railway System in Hungary. Consul P. D.
