THE general features of the market are

Lumber.
THERE has been a continuation of the
rather quiet market noted last week. The
cold, rainy and unreasonable weather has
continued and the demand has accordingly
been rather light. There have been fair
arrivals of cargo lots of spruce and the
movement is slow. The prices, however,
are being maintained at former figures.
There has been fair demand for Northern
frames and dimension for the season and
there is good deal of lumber due on con-
tracts, but it is coming forward slowly,
owing to the bad condition of roads
and yards. Rough hemlock boards
sell at $1,000 to $1,000 and planed do at
$500; the best clear spruce floor boards
at $500 to $500, coarse at 5000 to $500

spruce at S1.25 to S1.50; extra four-foot
spruce clapboards at $1,000 to 1927 co. do

at S12 to $1,000; pine and spruce laths at
$500 to 1925 and spruce underhoors at

An Explanation.

What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted?
II you will remember few years ago the
word malaria was comparatively unknown.
To-day it is as common as any word in the
English language, yet the word covers only
the meaning of another word used by our
forefathers in times past So it is with
nervous diseases, as they and malaria are
intended to cover what our grandfathers
called biliousness, and all are caused by
troubles that arise from diseased condi-
ton of the liver, which, in performing its
bile through the ordinary channel, is COM
PEELED to pass it off through the system,
causing nervous troubles, malaria bilious
fever, etc. You who are suffering can well
appreciate a cure. We recommend Green's
August Flower. Its cures are marvellous.

gree of the Devil" and is written by Mr..

lively two scenes from " Faust" as acted

is sufficiently realistic and horrible There

the women's international congress re-
Gently held in Washington, and is illus
trated with portraits. The other is entitled
" The Bacon Farce a Tragedy" and is

Facts About SeaIskins.

A sealskin as seen on the animal is q
very different thing from that seen on a
lady's cloak. "The fur is not visible; it
is concealed entirely by a coat of stiff
Overhair, dull, gray brown and grizzled."
This overhair must all be removed. 1t is
O long, laborious process by which these
pelts are made ready for their final use.
Nine-tenths of these fur-seal skins are
dressed in London and then sent out all
over the civilized world. There are prac-
tically no other seals caught save those
taken on the PTibyiov Islands by the
Alaska Commercial company.
The average weight of a 2-year-old skin
is five and half pounds; 3-year-old skin,
seven, and of A-year-old skin, twelve
pounds. 1t takes three skins to make q
lady's sack, which is worth anywhere
from $50 up to $500 This difference in
price is seldom due to a variance in the
original quality of the fur, but to the
quality of the work by which it is made
ready for wear. The carcass is left to rot
where the skin was taken off. Il requires
about three years to rot away, and, al
though 80, coo of these carc.sseS are annu-
ally decaying almost within stones
throw of the village of ST. Paul's Island,
yet the people do not seem to suffer any
INJURIOUS effect therefrom. The meat Of
he young seals, if perfectly cooked. is not
pad eating, and some Of the steaks will
compare favorably with our beef or NUT
ton.-Boston Transcript.

Life of the Younger Dumas.

NJ. Alexander Dumas, fills, relates in
the Christmas number of La Revue Illus
tire that he lived, thirty years ago, in the
Rue de Boulogne, now the Rue Ballu, in
q little house which was afterward ten
anted successively by Francisque Sarcey,
Edmond About and Paul de Cassagnac.
There were in it an infinitesimal dining
room, a drawing room of the same di
mansions, and a garden wherein two cats
might have q chance of swinging one'
another. On the first floor there was &
bedroom about the size of large band
box, and several other holes which wen
also designated by the landlord and tlx
concierge as chambers. His father, thu
Alexander the Great of fiction, used t.
visit him in this place, and when dinin 9
with him on one hot July evening fact ;.
tiOusly told him to open the door of II ie
sale manger so as to air the garde n.
NJ. Dumas says that he was quite happy
in this limited space for period Of s tx
years, because he had health, work, stlc-
cess and freedom. He used to work from
5 in the morning until 4 or in the even
Ing, and when inspiration refused to come
he simply sat at one of his windows,
stared at passers by, and when there was
nobody about contemplated the opposite
wall.-New York Tribune.

The "Lofely Maid"

The German who was driven from the
Quisiana hotel by the coarse table man
ners of the British and their habit of put
ting their knives in their mouths, during
one of his first strolls in Capri saw a
beautiful girl in the old costume of the
island bending over the edge Of a
frightful precipice Hurriedly advanc-
ing, the kind man, in his best Ger
man Italian, besought her to leave
the dangerous spot. But the girl
would not stir, only sadly shook her head.
"Lofely maidl'' cried the German, "why
do you despair. Are there no men more
in the world that you, SO charming, so
handsome, should weary of life For yes!
know your purpose; you seek to dier'
Trembling with emotion, the girl turned
her head aside. Come" urged the Ger
man, don't, pray don't do it." AT
this the girl turned her streaming eyes
full upon him, and, starting up suddenly,
answered.: "The signore is right; / will
not do it, The German went away re-
joicing; he had saved the poor creature s
life. But the next day, CHANGING to pass
the spot, he was thunderstruck by again
finding the same girl in the same attitude.
He was about to seize her arm, when q
loud voice behind him said: "Please, sir,
keep on one side; can't see my model!''
There was an artist at his easel behind a
big rock. The German walked On.-Eng-
lish Illustrated Magazine.

Sailor and Cat,

eyes, sir, that is very pretty cat, !"
said lady to a reporter, referring to a
fine Persian cat coiled up on rug.
But often wonder how l managed to
get her home safe. You see, l bought it
in Calcutta and came home on q sailing
ship around the cape Well, sir, every
time we were becalmed the sailors
would try and get my cat to throw it
overheard, for they think that doing SO
will bring wind"
This is an old superstition OF the
mariner 1t would be hard to say how 1t
originated, but it is probable that 1t was
originally intended as sacrifice to Nep-
tune, the god of the sea; as on land the
gods were propitiated by the offerings OF
the devout, so Jack sought to calm the
sea gods ire by Offering him cat. The
old sailor, even in this advanced age, re-
CARDS the cat as a veritable weather
gauge The old landsman is often
puzzled to account for some of the strange
sea terms, and questions are often asked
as to the meaning Of the word ''catspaw.
1t is simply quaint idea of the mariner,
who sees in the sudden and peculiar
zephyr that ruffles the water a re-
senlblance to the frolics of the cat. Does
pussy jump around good humoredly there
will be a good breeze and fair. But when
she arches her back and swells her tail,
then look out, for her scowling look will
be as calm to the storm it foreshadows,
and the flashes from her eyes but as sparks
to the blue streaks Of zig gag lightning
which will certainly soon illuminate the
sky.-San Francisco Alta.
