Remedy for ToadstooI Poisoninx.

Captain McllVaDe'S recommendation when,
by mischance, any of the poisonous ioadstools
have ell eaten, published by him in the Thera-
peutic GaZett Is as follows: "The physician
called upon TO treat case of .oadstool poison
lug need not walt TO query after the variety
eaten; he need not with 10 see a sample. His
first endeavor should be TO ascertain The exact
time elapsed between the eating of the toad
stool and the first feeling of discomfort. IL
this time is within four or five hours Que of
the minor poIsons is at work, and rapid relief
will be given by the administration of an emeIic
followed by one or TWO doses OF sweet oil and
whisky in equal parts. Vinegar is effective as
substitute for oil. If fom eight TO twelve
hours have elapsed, the physician may rest as
suTed that amantine is present and should ad-
minister one-six teenth of grain of atropIne at
once"
The atropine should be simultaneously in
1ected and the injection repeated every half
hour until one-twentieth of a grain has peen
given or the patients life has beer saved.

INDUSTRY COLLAPSED
No Money in Ranching in the
Canadian Northwest.
The Government Has Given Notice
That the Leases of Farms Will
Not Be Renewed.

MONTREAL. Dec. 23.-Another great in
dustry that was to greatly aid in the de-
velopment of the Canadian Northwest has
almost collapsed. This is the ranching
business. Thomas Cochrape, pioneer
raDcher and mine-owner in Alberta dis
trict, has been in Montreal the past few
days and expressed the opinion that the
end of the business was in sight. Among
the reasons given he mentioned the fact
that the Government has given notice to
the ranchers that their leases would not
be renewed, as the intention is to throw
open the lands for settlement. Asked
whether there was any longer money
in ranching. Cochrane replied: "There
is no money in it; there is loss 10
it. For instance, this season we
have had to feed since October. The
weather has been very cold, with a great
deal of snow. Then the wolves have been
a great scourge. The local Government
has at last given a bonus of So head,
which will probably have the effect of
thinning them out. but we had an i'm
mense amount of trouble with them. The
other day before left man killed eleven
in the afternoon. They are so ferocious
they will attack man, and are very destruc-
tive OF dogs"
Cochrane thinks it would be an advan-
tage to the country If all those immense
ranching tracts were settled, but the coun-
try is so vast that the idea of its complete
settle ment in the near future is impossi-
