things are absolutely essential to the

A Hermit with q Telephone.

A little ditch marks the line beyond
which Samuel butcher cannot go. The
home of butcher is a rough redwood hut
not far from the infirmary Of Alameda
county. He lives alone, more severely
alone than any hermit. No person is
permitted to cross the ditch, and butcher
is prohibited from approaching within
thirty yards of any person who addresses
him from the border marked by the lit
tie waterway. Conversation must be
conducted by shouts.
His meals were sent from the infirm
airy and placed on box some distance
from the hut. The waiter then sour
ries back to the infrmary, and butcher
walks to the box and takes the mush anf
molasses or the stew and the coffee from
the box and has a solitary feast. Not
entirely without company is this solitary
recluse. Three puppies play about his
cabin and feed from the scraps from his
meals. They are owned by Portuguese
rancher who lives in the foothills. They
found the hut of the lonely man, and as
he plays with them and feeds them they
spend most of the time with him and
provide society for him. But for the
dogs he would have no company.
He is to have a telephone. A kind
hearted minister who conducts services
at the infrmary has asked that the hut
and the chapel be connected by wire,
Then on Sunday mornings butcher may
sit in his cabin and participate in the
services, a congregation of one in his
little hut. The telephone might have
other uses than to transmit the words OF
worship and praise. 1t would provide
means for sending word if butcher be-
comes seriously i'll, and people might
talk with him and relieve some of the
monotony of his life butcher is leper

In discussing the question of consol-
idation before the Fairhaven council
one OF the participants asserted that
some of the residents of New Whatcom
would insist on taking visiting capt.
talist or commercial traveller to a
Chinese restaurant before allowing
him to stop at The Fairhaven hotel.
Ii this is true statement of fact il
reveals condition of affairs both un-
just to the proprietors of the hotel and
inimical to the best interests of New
Whatcom itself. The proprietors of
the hotel have gone to considerable ex-
pense in fitting up a first-class house
and furnishing it with every convent
ence and attraction, and should be en-.
Outraged in .the enjoyment Of the
patronage which such a hotel deserves.
III 1t is superior to the hotels at the

At La Charlie saw little girl suffer
ing from St. Vitus' dance brought to the
hospital for treatment. The child could
not stand still or hold its hands still or
even control it's voice sufficiently to say,
"Bonjour, NJ. Luys." A strong, well built
woman was hypnotized and the child's
hands were placed in hers. By the aid Of
highly charged magnets the nervous
twitchings Of the child were passed into
the woman till her strong frame was con-
vulsed by them. She could not stand still,
her hands were in continual movement,
and strangest Of all, when told to say,
"Bonjour, NJ. Luys," she spoke in the same
hesitating, jerking manner RS the child had
done The youngster, on the contrary, was
perceptibly relieved, but the doctor told me
that such relief only lasted for a few hours
at first, and that similar transfers would
have to be made daily for weeks before the
cure was complete
/ have seen the child several times since
she has been following the treatment. She
says herself that she is better, and certainly
the convulsive movements Of the body and
members are less marked. Mysteries, par
tial paralysis and nervous accidents an
successfully treated by such transfers as
that described. The subject to whom the
disease has been transferred is allowed to
sleep quietly for a few minutes, and on be
ting awakened neither feels nor remembers
the sufferings undergone while in hypnotic
sleep.-Paris Cor Pail Mall Gazette.

When the northwestern states were
first settled some croakers predicted that
want of fuel would hinder their develop
ment for many years. But now 1t is found
that, like every other part Of this happy
country the northwestern states can sup
ply their wants on the spot. Besides the
gold and silver that many of them pos
sess underground, it is being discovered
that nearly every one Of them has abun-

Of coal mined in 1899 was 3, 20, 900 tons.

to be forgotten that the development
of these resources would materiaiize i'll
a prosperity larger than that to be de-
rived from any movement on the part
of the Great Northern, beside making
larger activity on the part of that
road necessary at this point. II does
not appear to be realized that railroads

not to create the demand for their own
existence.
Every business man knows that at
present there are certain causes pre-
venting. activity on large scale.
Money is close in the East and is
loaned subject to call. Capitalists are
not making large investments, and
will not until the incoming admins
tration defines its financial policy.
The Worlds fair is having an intlp-
ence on the finances of the country,
and the fear of an outbreak of cholera
during the coming summer also car
ries some weight in delaying the move
ment of capital towards the Pacific
coast. But nevertheless, the true
unison of the capital and ability Of
BeIlingham bay in the development of
our resources would go far towards 4
building up our trade and widening
our commercial borders. Great indus
tries may not come so soon as we de-
sire. In their absence let us bring a
larger number of small ones and real
re the same results in the employment
Of labor and freer exchange of capital.
