general elections as member for Co
wichan.
Mr.. Davie is not the only member of his
family who has been thus honored by the
people Of British Columbia. His brother.
Hon. A. B. Davie, was premier of the prov
ince during the middle of the last decade.
In fact, it was not until he died that Theo-
dore was taken into the cabinet as attorney
general. The new premier ought to feel
encouraged by his success in life, for he Is
but forty years of age, and his admirers
predict greater things for him in the fu-
ture. Mr. Davie was born in England and
in 1862 emigrated to British Columbia with
his father. He was married in 1884 to Miss
Alice York, the daughter of an Irish land
holder. He was admitted to the bar in
1877 and five years later was elected to
parliament and was again returned in 1886.

Why They Beg Newspapers.

Begging newspapers seems to be one
OF the occupations of Gothams small
boy, and according to one Of these
urchins good revenue is derived from
the business. Tho Practice is known rs
canada business" \ gang of eight or
ten boys besiege the entrance to the
bridge and elevated road every morning
and keep an argus eye on all persons
carrying newspapers. They stretch out
their arms asking for the newspapers
and often pull them out of the hands Of
passers by.
The "newsies" are very persistent,
and occasionally get into little snarls
with dyspeptic persons who get down
town in bad humor. The temper Of
these people might be intensified did
they know that, according to confess
sion Of one Of the boys, newsdealer OF
speculative turn of mind originally
put the boys up to the practice they fol-
low. If the newspapers are too much
soiled to sell, the boys turn them over
TO the speculator, who holds them in re-
serve, paying the boys pittance and
then realizing full value by handing
them over to the respective newspapers
as "return" and getting copies Of the
current date for them.
The youngsters have learned his meth

it is fast converting the little hustlers

sympathy Betw cen the Eyes.
Some interesting experiments have been
made by NJ. Chauveau, French oculist,
and his report to the Paris Academy Of
Sciences has excited good deal of COM
ment. Among other things, Mr.. Chau-
veau states that the excitation of the ret
ina Of one eye by colored light influences
the optic nerves of the other eye as well,
in such manner, too, that while the eye
acted upon indirectly sees the color the
retina actually excited sees the compile
mentary color. On observing a white
surface with one eye for a short time
through a bit of colored glass, then when
the glass is removed the white surface APP
pears to be tinted with the complementary
color of the glass-a comparatively we'll
known fact of course, but what M. Chau-
veau points out is that If the eye first used
be closed and the white surface examined
with the other it appears to be of the same
color as is the glass This being the case,
the interesting fact would appear to be
shown that the optic nerves of the closed
eye are acted upon by those of the examin-
ing eve.

How to Get Fitted to a Shoe.

The first pair of shoes you try on after
you take off the old shoes you have been
wearing is likely to feel too small, be-
cause tho foot is slightly swollen. After
trying ON IA number of pairs the foot
cools down and loses it's sensibility, and
herein arises the danger of getting shoes
that afterward will be too small. You
should stop at the second pair. If they
seem to fit take them and you won't
have to change them. Remember, your
foot is in its normal condition at the sec
ond pair. Before and after 1t isn't re-
liable.

yet he makes no charges to anyone, beliew.

to ascertain the patients true condition
without expense to the sufferer. When
ever and wherever Dr. Humphrey decides
to locate monthly visit crowds flock to
see him. and no wonder, for by the first ex-
animation, and often without asking a
question, he tells the invalid what the
trouble is, and the prospect of a cure, and
most wonderful of all he values his first
impression and first look Mt a patient more
than all else, and DIR. Humphrey is never
mistaken in his diagnosis in any case.
The doctors methods differ markedly
from the general practitioner in all re-
spects. Following the plan OF st. Georges
Hospital of London. he registers every
particular rs to the patients physical con-
dition and mental state. The condition OF
each organ, location Of any and all dis
eased parts, and whether sympathetic or
organic, together with the amount and
nature of the disease. In this way the en-
tire amount OF vital energies are readily
computed and the restoring power of the
body measured against the force and en-
ergy ana GCStrnctlVc cGiND!ntleS OF the ulS-
ease Thus knowing the actual condition
of the tissues and the effect of specific
medicines upon every structure of the
body, unlike most doctors, he is enabled to
say positively whether any given case Is
durable or not, and can also give the APP
proximate time and expense of treatment,
and would here point out the utter de-
fusion cherished by many patients that
they ought to get well in few days or
weeks, Notwithstanding the fact that they
have suffered Cor years.

being cured.
The doctor is surrounded with the finest and
most extensive collection of instruments ever
imported to this country for examining and
treating all forms of chronic ailments of the
head, face, eye ear, throat, chest, lungs, heart,
stomach, liver, spleen, kidneys, bowels, repro
