A SPECIAL WIRE.

True to it's promise to give Roanoke
and Southwest Virginia a newspaper
equal to any in the State of Virginia,
THE TIMES is about TO take another
step forward. 1t has made arrange
ments to have special telegraph wire
placed in its editorial rooms from Roa
noke to Washington. and will, on the
1st of June, receive telegraph news
service equal to that of any paper III
the South, and exceeded by none. This
wire will place THE TIMES in immedi-
ate communication with every part of
the civilized world. The latest hap
Jennings will be received in THE TIMES
Office up to o'clock in the morning.
Its patrons in Roanoke and Southwest
Virginia will have every morning the
inortant events of not only Roanoke
them, but of thu South and of the world
at large.
This service will be furnished through
the medium of tho United Press, ono
of the principal news agencies of the
world, the franchises of which in Roam
oke are held exclusively by THE TIMES.
Notwithstanding the heavy expense
which this service will entail upon TIE
TIMES, it is believed that tho increased
patronage from the reading public,
which will come from this enterprise,
will fully compensate for the outlay. In
conjunction with this service arrange
ments have been made with syndicate
of the leading papers Of Virginia to give
full and late reports of tho most i'm
portant happenings of the State.

Some Remarkable Families.

During the last session of the Quebec
Legislature bill was introduced by
Colonel. Rhodes, member for Coaticook,
providing that every father of twelve or
more living children should receive a
grant of 100 acres for each child above
that number. The bill was passed with
out any difficulty, the members evidently
believing that only comparatively small
number would come under the act. The
following information has been obtained
with regard to the matter.
The total number of applications was
1909 of which seven come from the
United States with total of eighty-five
children. The largest family is that of
John Hope, of Vaudreuil, who claims to
have twenty three children living. From
Montreal comes the application of Ed
ward Millet with fourteen children, who
would appear to constitute the largest
family in that city. Among the applicants
are four with eighteen children each,
six with seventeen, one with sixteen,
twenty-seven with fifteen, forty-tive with
fourteen, and twenty seven with thirteen
each.-Ne,o York Times.

VERMONT is ordering apples from Michi,
A RemarkahIa Oner.

For several years a well known Boston busi-
ness house has made persons keeping poultry,
few or many remarkable offers OF premiums
payable in gold, some as high as fifty dollars
TO the first and not less than five dollars to
any winner of premium. The best thing
about those offers was that the premiums
have always been promptly paid as agreed in
gold coin. Fifty dollar premiums do not
grow on every bush" as the old saying is,and
we have no doubt to many who competed for
them, the amount received came in handy to
help pay the necessary bills of a hard winter,
or If not, buy some luxury that the family alb
solutely needed, but otherwise could not af-
ford. The same firm, l. S. johnson & Co.. y
Custom House St, Boston, Mass, authorize us
to state that they have prepared an offer of
similar premiums this year, with one very i'm
portant Improvement and that is, SO that the
first winner stands a fair chance with others
of getting one hundred and fifty dollars In
gold premiums. Whyl that is as good as fifty
dollars per month for the three winter
months It's worth trying for anyway. john

Ten Ponies for a Wife.

Among the Tibetans man marrles
only one wife whom he purchases from
her parents, a belle often costing as much
as ten ponies and thirty yaks. The price
to be paid for the wife is arranged by a
relative or friend who acts as go-be-
tween, and the only marriage ceremony
IS grand spree lasting as long as the
bridegroom can afford to keep it up.
The life Tibetan woman in this part
of the country cannot be deemed hard
one. She makes the tea, it is true, but
with that the housekeeping ends; for no
one ever dreams of cleaning the kettle
afterward, and every one has to mix his
own tsamba and lick his own bowl clean
when he has finished. Every four or five
years she may have to sew a new sheep
skin gown for herself or for some one Of
her family, but certainly not oftener.
She cannot herd the cattle or sheep; men
must do that, as there is danger from
marauders. She passes her time spinning
yarn, weaving coarse kind Of cloth out
of which bags are made, turning prayer
wheel, pnd-destroying too voracious
vermin.
Her toilet requires rearranging only
four or five times a year-when she WIS.,
its Kumbum or some other fair; she
never washes herself or her garments,
and her children cannot outgrow their
clothes; they have only to let out little
of the folds of the gown, their unique
garment, tucked up around the waist,
and it will fit them until they are grown
up Century.

A Monkey That Looks Like Dog,

The pig-tailed macaque is the "brok"
of the Malays. This monkey is about
the size of bull-terrier, and at distance
is not unlike one, from its habitual walk
being on all-fours and its general dog
like carriage. This is, l believe, the
most artful and intelligent of all mon
keys, and is the one trained by the Malays
to gather cocoanuts and durians. But,
like all their race, they are spiteful,
s'unchancy" brutes and never safe to
handle. You can never trust monkey,
however tame he appears, as the late
Frank Buckland found to his cost on
more than one occasion. have several
times seen a monkey which, after being
some time in captivity, had made an
excursion into the Jungle, set upon by
his wild relatives and ignominiously
hunted back to the abodes of men. .-Mew

Meant Death Not to Wear a Dress Coat

A good thing is told of Barrios, the
Guatemalan dictator, in connection with
the dress of the men attending the opera.
Formerly the little short jackets that
come just under the armpits were worn
by many, but when the President went
abroad he saw how those in other parts
of the world dressed, and on his return
issued an edict compelling all the men to
either appear in full-dress coat Or
Prince Albert. They dressed as directed.
To disobey might mean death.-iSan
