They may be fine, but most people would prefer their own, and this may best be accomplished by keeping the. stomach healthy with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, as the condition of it affects the teeth. The Bitters will cure constipation, dyspepsia and biliousness.

Have No Use for Their Toes.

If shoes go on forever why should not our toes, grow together? We have no use for them. We can't manage them. About one man in 1,000 can pull on his interossel muscles and spread out his toes. In (he remaining 999 these muscles are as dead as fiber. They haven’t been used since the Ihfant stuck his toes in his mouth and crooned a baby song without words. If we wore mittens all the time the individual control of our fingers would be lost We eat so much soft food that we have scarcely any need of teeth. Gums would answer every purpose, as mastication is performed by machinery before we begin a meal. There over 200 distinct muscles in the human body, of which the best of us keep about 100 in prime condition by proper use.—New York Press.

Duhamel. Jan. 24,1W0. Dear Sir and Friend—We had a lucky trip, made good connections and got to Wetaskiwln Monday afternoon; stayed there all night, bought a pony and saddle for the boy and hired a three-seated rig for the balance of us and got home to dinner next day; caught the boys cleaning up and getting ready to come after us. Wednesday the snow was all gone and we had bare ground and bright sunshine for a month and it has been pleasant weather ever since. The ground is frozen about two fleet, and about six Inches of snow, just enough for good sleighing. We had one cold spell in December. The thermometer went down to 32 below aero, but we did not suffer with the cold at all. We have worked every day all winter. Are all well and feeling well. Have built a log house 18x18, two log stables 16x18, and are now busy on a well. We have ten cows, three other cattle and six head of horses. The boys send their best respects to Mr. Huchison and say they will talk to him enough to pay for not writing when he gets up here. Will write you again next spring and tell you all about the winter. We all unite in sending you and family our best wishes and respects and hope this will find you all welt Yours very respectfully, (Signed) THOMAS TATE, Duhamel, Alberta, Canada. P. B.—lt has not been down to aero this month. It is 22 above now.

PIET JOUBERT DEAD.

.r- j'";,*< . ■■■■ -■ TRANSVAAL’S FAMOUS GENERAL PASSES AWAY. Hie Death a ; 'Grcat Lons to the Boers — He Was the Organizer of Their Army and Rival of President Krnger—Beat British at Maj üba Hill. The death of Gen. Joubert was announced Wednesday by way of Ixjrenzo Marques. Two days previous I’retpria dispatches told of the serious illness of the famous Boer chieftain. Gen. Pietrus Jacobus Joubert, commander general of the Transvaal forces, better knowu as Piet Joubert, or “Wien Pfct’UtHlim Peter), was born about «ix-ty-^gj^tny£iirs ago. He was descepded from an old Fiwh Ilugueuot family .which settledin South Africa many years ago.' 'He was born in Cape Colony, but ' wis'taifcu by his parents, wheu 7 years. ft# Grunge Free State, where he , w.|s tppght ffyom early childhood to shoot ‘Stfaiglit and hate the British. He la deI scHbHii a;) having been utterly fearless, schdoting he had but little, and he never saw a newspaper until he was 19 years jOlfl. r In consequence of the acquisition of Natal by tliq, British his family moved from Natal and settled in the TransvaaL Soon afterward he became a burgher of the South African republic and a daring fighter. It was <luring the wars with the natives that Joubert became acquainted with Paul Kruger, and the two men became bosom friends. He was elected vice-president of the Transvaal in 189(5, defeated Sir George Colley at Majuba Hill in 1881, and acted as president of the republic in 1883-1884,’ during Kruger’s absence jn Europe. ' Gen. Joiibert was always in fpvor of the use of force instead of diplomacy, and President Kruger on several occa-

GEN. PIET JOUBERT.

sions had grcnt difficulty in repressing his hot-headed colleague, notably in 187 V, when Joubert, with Kruger and Pretoritts, was planning the rebellion to overthrow British rule in the Transvaal. The result was Majuba Hill and the practical independence of the Transvaal. It was Joubert who organized the army of the South African republic, later on, dividing the country into seventeen military departments, and.each of these departments into smaller divisions, with commandants, Held cornets and lieutenants of various ranks in charge. According to the general’s plans, every man became a trained soldier without leaving his farm, and had his equipment ready at hand. To such a point of perfection was the system carried that within fortyeight hours after the present war was declared the Bwr nation was under arms. "It was also due to Gen. Joubert that the South African republics succeeded in amassing the immense stores of war munitions and provisions which have stood them in such good stead during tile conflict now in progress. When the Jameson raiders were locked up in Pretoria jail Joubert was strongly in favor of their immediate execution. It wns not until Joubert and Kruger had been closeted together for a whole night that the more merciful counsels of Kruger prevailed. In November last it was reported that Gen. Joubert had been killed in action, and later reports said he was dangerously wounded and had to use a cart in order to follow the operations in the field.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Maj. Gen. Vrettyman lias been appointed military governor of Bloemfontein. Mr. Wessels, president of the Rand, has gone to England to solicit public sympathy. / Gen. Kitchener is credited with the hulk of the work, but Gen. Roberts gels the bouquets. Twelve thousand shells were thrown into Ladysmith, killing thirty-five of the garrison and wounding 188. It is estimated that Gen*. Buller and Gen. White lost 0,182 men during the operations around Ladysmith. By the time Lord Roberts reaches the Vaal river he will command some 80,000 men, while Gen. Buller will have 40,000. The Dutch rebellion in Northeast Cnpe Colony seems to be collapsing. Kitchener has been pouring British troops into the district. The British war office has issued a report showing that the total number of casualties in South Africa has been 14,911, exclusive of 955 men who were either accidentally killed or died from disease. The total estimated expenditure On the British fleet for the twelve months from April 1, 1900, to March 31, 1901, is plac-. ed at $137,613,000. . Montagu White confirms the rumors that the Boers will utterly destroy Johannesburg if forced to do so. Pretoria could not be defended, he says, if Johannesburg were permitted to remain. Cecil Rhodes says there have been only 30,000 Boers in the field altogether, and that the foreign mercenaries were only about 15,000. The numbers of the Boers, he said, had been exaggerated in order to explain the British reverses.

A Diplomatic Pug.

One almost forgets how long ago it is since the muzzling order was first Issued, but Shortly after the inception of that order a housemaid “attached” to a foreign legation took a pug dog, also “attached” to the same legation, out for a walk, says Chamber’s Journal. She was stopped by a constable, who asked her why the dog was not wearing a muzzle. The housemaid replied that the dog did not possess a muzzle, because; it was a diplomatic dog. The constable responded that the dog was a pug, and that he was not a fool. The constable took the name and address -of the housemaid. A few days later a summons'arrived tt the legation. The housemaid did not present herself at the court, and the maglstrate lmposed a fine on her. At last the foreign minister went to the Marquis of Salisbury about the matter. The result was that all thf officials connected with the case weft reprimanded, and a “note” was addressed frofii Lord Salisbury to all thelegations in London, tn which note Lord Salisbury said he had- the honor to call attention to a certain order entitled the “muzzling order,” by which it was enacted that all dogs, wneu taken into public places, should wear a muzzle over the head.

Sir Joseph Noel Paton, her Majesty’s limner for Scotland since 1865, completed his seventy-eighth year recently. In 1843 Sir Noel was admitted a student at the Royal Academy, and in 1850 he became an academician of the Royal Scotch Academy. Sir Noel Paton is a poet as well as a painter.
