A Deserted Mansion.

Just across the river from St fttlchael’s Is one of the most fertile ftirms In Talbot County, Md. Some years ago a Mr. Oliver came to this country from England and purchased this large estate and began fanning. Here he lived for many years. He enlarged the house and filled Its rooms with the finest furniture and pictures. Mr. Oliver was an eccentric man, yet very popular with the neighboring farmers. But one day Mr. Oliver suddenly disappeared, locking the doors of his house and leaving his property in charge of the tenant. Mr. Oliver was last beard from in Virginia. Everything in his Talbot home is just as it was kept by Mr. Oliver years ago. The supper table was left standing in the middle of the floor, not a plate nor Any of the food having been removed. Even the rubber boots which Mr. Oliver had worn on the day of his departure are left sitting on the floor, and not a piece of the furniture has been removed from its original place. The interior of the house Is just as It was when the old bachelor resided there, save for the thick coating of dust. He left no instructions with his tenant for the disposition of his property, nor has any relative ever come forward to prove his claim to possession. The house is a massive structure of bricks said to have been imported from England. It is said that Mr. Oliver is still living in Virginia, and that he is aware of all that is going on at his farm.

Prince Albert, Sask., August 17, 1898. William McCreary, Esq., Immigration Commissioner, Winnipeg, Man.: Sir—We, the undersigned delegates from Kansas and Nebraska, U. S. A., in reporting the results of our trip to Dauphin, and subsequently to Regina, Prince Albert and the middle Saskatchewan country, beg to say that our tickets were limited to twenty-one days, and as we had other large regions to visit, we could only- spend a short time in the Dauphin country. We examined, however, the principal cultivated areas in the southern parts of township 25, range 19, the great wheat fields of Wishart, Buchanan, Owen, Smith, Ross, Sinclair, the Whitmores, Drinkwaters, etc., and, subsequently, others to the north, and never, in our experience, have we seen finer grain. The whole country is watered by numerous streams flowing from the slopes of Riding Mountain, and excellent well water is found everywhere, at from nine to eighteen feet. Extensive forests of spruce and tamarack cover the northern parts of the mountains, from which timber is manufactured in Dauphin and elsewhere, and sold at from sl2 a thousand at the mills. Wild hops and wild fruits are abundant, and ripen in the open air. Vegetation throughout is surprisingly luxuriant and, without hesitation, we would rank the whole region among the best graingrowing areas of the continent. The output of wheat last year was about 75,000 bushels, but this year it is estimated at over a million. Westward lie the homestead lands which now, and when fresh surveys are completed, will afford comfortable homes to thousands of diligent families. The great Gilbert Plains also we were unable to visit, where graingrowing has been conducted with the best results for years, and which will become a vast wheat field as soon as a branch railway reaches there. Settlement 1b speeding In all these regions, reminding us indeed of the early days in our own States; and as we have examined, since our visit to Dauphin, a portion of the great country lying south and east of Prince Albert we can readily imagine the tide of immigration which will soon flow into the Canadian West.

The Argument Was Convincing.

Counsel for the defense was addressing a country justice of the peace of the “old school.” Said he: “I realize that I stand in the presence of a descendant of the grand old Huguenot family that emigrated from France to escape from religious Intolerance. Many able jurists have sprung from that family and embellished the bench and bar of the union. Their watchwords are honor, truth and justice, and their names are spoken in every home. The law is so plain in this case that ‘he who runs may read.’ Shall I insult the intelligence of thts court by reiterating a proposition so simple? Need I say more? ” “No,” Interrupted the judge, “ ’tain’t necessary—l’ll give you a judgment.” Counsel sat down, while the judge with emphasis knocked the ashes from his cob pipe and counsel for the plaintiff began: “May it please the court ” “Squire, what are you Axin' to do?” asked the judge. “1 have the closing argument,” was the reply. “Well, you Jes' as well set ’own. I done got my mind sot on the other side. Judgment for defendant.”

Training Otters.

Chinese and Indian fishermen have an tngeciouß way of training the otter. They catch the small cub and put a collar round the throat. The litSe creature, finding itself unable for days together to swallow anything R catches, gives up trying to do so, and faithfully brings to the bank all the fish it captures. A woman la always perfectly sure that she is In the right until It comes to backing her opinion with money.— Chicago Heirs.

GOVERNOR M'CORD

Recommends Pe-ru-na to All Catarrh Victims.

HON. H. M. MCCORD.

Hon. Myron H. McCord, ex-Governor of New Mexico, in a letter to Dr. Hartman, from Washington, D. C., says: Gentlemen—At the suggestion of a friend I was advised to use Pe-ru-na for catarrh, and after using one bottle I began to feel better in every way. It helped me in many respects. I was troubled with colds, coughs, sore throat, etc., but as soon as I had taken your medicine I .began to improve and soon got well. I take pleasure in recommending your great remedy to all who are afflicted with catarrh. —M. H. McCord. Thousands of cases of chronic catarrh have been cured by Pe-ru-na during the past winter. In spite of - changeable weather, in spite of the natural setbacks from catching cold, and confinement to illy ventilated rooms, the great catarrh remedy-rPe-ru-na—has effected these cures. But now spring is here. The days are longer, the sun is warmer, and the blizzard is gone for another year. This presents a much more favorable opportunity for the permanent cure of chronic catarrh, especially old, stubborn cases. Now is the time to begin treatment. Other things being equal, one month’s treatment in the spring is worth two months’ treatment during the inclement weather of winter. Insist upon having Pe-ru-na. There are no successful substitutes for this remedy. Send to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, for a free catarrh book.

One on the Rector.

The little daughter of a local clergyman has reached the age where big words are apt to floor her, and where she is very sensitive to the remarks of an elder brother. Not long ago she came running to her father. “Papa, papa, George called me names.” “Why, what did Georgie say?” “Oh,” said the little girl with a strong expression of disgust, “he said I practiced what I preached. I don’t, do I?” “Well, -my child, I ” “But I don’t, do I, papa? I don’t any more than you do, do I?” And then the rector Choked up. But he took a half hour from his sermon and explained the meaning of the obnoxious expression to the best of his ability.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

What Do the Children Drink?

Don’t give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GRAIN-O? It is delicious and nourishing, and takes the place of coffee. The more Grain-O yon give the children the more health yoh distribute through their systems. Grain-O is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee, bnt costs aa much. All grocers sell it. 15c.

Lions Fear Umbrellas.

A German professor, in giving his experience as an explorer In the wilds, of Africa, says that the best protection against lions is an umbrella, as the beasts are especially afraid of one when opened suddenly upon them. Piao’a Cure for Consumption ia the best of all cough cures.—George W. Lots, Fabacher, La., Aug. 26, 1895. A European statistician has discovered that only 55 per cent, of the blondes marry, while 79 per cent of their brunette sisters engage in matrimony.

ALABASTINE

WHAT ALABABTIMC IS. AJtbutlM la the origin*] and only durable wall coating on the market. It Is entirely different from all kalaomlne preparations. Alabasttne Is made'ready for use In white or twelve beautiful tints by the addition ot cold water. It Is pot up in dry powdered form. In Ove-poand packages, with full direction* on every package. It takas the place of scaling kalaomlne*. wall paper and paint for walls. Alabastlne can be used on plaster, brick, wood or canvas and a ckUd ana brush it on.

WAYS TO MAKE MONEY.

Some of the Indaatrial Posatbtlttlaa of Paerto Bico. Dairy farming la another opening which has a future, notwithstanding the attendant drawbacks of a hot climate, no cold springs for cooling the milk, and ice at a premium. If entered into on a sufficiently large scale to warrant the installation of an ice-plant, the returns would leave a large margin of profit As things are to-day, the cattle are milked but once In twentyfour hours, before daylight each morning. The warm milk must reach the consumer in a very few hours, or be lost by souring. The selling price ranges from eight to twelve cents a quart Cream is unknown; not because, as one of the army officers put it, “This damn Puerto Rican milk is so poor that never a particle of cream can rise,” but because it is never sufficiently cool for cream to rise. Canned butter sells for from 60 cents to $1 a pound, in two, three and five pound tins. This article, which delicate people should never have analyzed, was Imported in 1895 to the extent of 365,000 pounds. Cheese, another of the by-products of the milk-farm, is annually imported to the amount of a million and a quarter pounds. Also, there is made on the island good, palatable, band-pressed cheese, too white, too dry, and too tasteless for the average foreigner, but largely consumed by the natives. Dairies established with proper refrigerating facilities, near any of the larger towns, will be more than able to compete with the methods In vogue. Cream, fresh butter and cheese would find a ready market at prices—for the present, at least —much higher than tbose of America. Poultry culture, as it exists to-day, seems to consist mainly of breeding game fighting cocks. Miserable little chickens of a pound and a half bring 50 cents each. Eggs are to be had in limited quantities at sliding-scale prices, ranging from 30 to 50 cents a dozen, determined largely by the age of the hen-fru.., which becomes painfully overripe in forty-eight hours. Fresh mutton is always in demand in the market, and it is an easy matter to keep sheep fat and in good condition. Wool-growing would not be a success, unless hair cloth becomes fashionable, as the imported lamb soon turns into a goat, judging by his bristling coat. Pork, to the amount of nearly 10,000,000 ponnds, is annually Imported by Puerto Rico, and is almost wholly purchased from the United States. The raising of hogs in large numbers would, however, be a doubtful experiment, owing to the high price of com, though there is much mast in tne mountain regions, upon which they are said to grow fat. The indigenous animal Is an extremely poor specimen of the razor-back species. Corn is scarce and high-priced, and cannot be raised with much success on the northern half of the island, on account of the quantity of rain. The lands of the drier southern portions of the island are capable of producing very excellent corn, though during exceptionally wet seasons It is apt to mature badly and be injured by canker ■and must. The failure of com crops in certain years is made apparent by the variable importation of this grain, which sometimes rises as high as 20,000 bushels, and falls in other years to one-fourth this amount. Last year the island crop was very promising, and in the Yauco and Mayaguez districts several thousand acres of this cereal wave ten feet high, usually bearing two large ears to the stalk. While the local price of corn is high, ranging from 80 cents to 95 cents a bushel, it is not at all probable that in the future, with open markets, island com can compete with the American product. The benefits, therefore, will accrue to American exporters of maize.—Harper’s Weekly.

Chicago Great Western Increase.

The earnings of Chicago Great Western Railway, “Maple Leaf Route,” for the first three weeks of February, 1899, show an increase of $33,618.44. Total increase since beginning of fiscal year (July 1) to date, $293,295.19.

Chinese Soldiers Despised.

Soldiers are despised in China. They belong chiefly to the coolie classes. The German officers engaged some time ago by the Chinese government found that their most important task was to overcome the soldiers’ own feelings that they were a lower order of beings than other Chinamen.

Last of the Quintains.

A curious clause, taking one light back to the middle ages, appears in the title deeds of a house which Is now to be sold in the village of Offbam, In Kent. Scheduled as part of the “messuages, lands, hereditaments and premises,” Is the village quintain, which still swings on its stout oaken post before the house, and the purchaser most covenant to keep the relic of a bygone pastime in good repair. One end of the swinging crossbar of this quintain (fold to be the only surviving specimen in England) is shaped like a square target, pierced with a number of holes, into which the point of the player’s lance would enter. When struck it would swing round, and unless the player were nimble the sand bag hung on the other end of the crossbar would ■wing round and unseat him. Here is a chance seldom met with in these modem days of getting back into medtaevalism. The owner has only to don the contemporary costume, tilt at the quintain, and 'lmagine that the clock has been put back a few centuries.—Westminster Gazette.

The Boudoir of the Czarina.

The boudoir of the Czarina at Czarskoye Selo is said to be a spacious apartment, very light and very sparsely curtained. Masses of tropical verdure divide the room into several cozy apartments and give it a very picturesque appearance. The dado of the wall Is formed almost entirely of photographs. An easel in one of the window recesses and a grand piano in another testify to the Czarina’s artistic tastes; several of her own water colors hang on the walls and she is In the habit of singing to the Czar the folk songs of his own country.

He attends to business who goes straight to work to cure Neuralgia by the use of St. Jacobs Oil, and saves time and money and get® out of misery quickly. He’s all right. For a very bad burn melt beeswax, and into It pour sweet oil until it makes a salve which can be readily spread with a soft brush. Keep every part covered with the salve.
