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.

Escapes from Death.
Fantastic escapes from death were
by no means uncommon features of the
Boer war. 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

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.

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

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.

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
