what had happened.
Knox county, Maine, has solved the
tramp problem so far as its own locality is
concerned. The commissioners bought .
supply of sledge hammers and started q
stone yard. Tramps applying for nights
lodging got it, but next morning after
breakfast they were taken to the yard,
chained together and set to breaking stone.
Those who refused to work were put Gin
solitary" and nourished with bread and
water. The news soon spread abroad, and
now the professional vsgabonds give Knox
county wide berth.
A fine record for safety of ships and car
goes was made during 1898 BY the large
feet of grain carriers between Pacific ports
and Europe. The voyage Ii the longest
and stormiest of all routes In the worlds
commerce, yet out of 1926 vessels which
l.J nkhar Pa
ei6c ports for Europe, only one failed to
arrive at her destination safely and with
cargo in good order. This one ship was
stranded on q South Pacific islsnd, and
lack of wrecking facilities alone prevented
her getting off and rssuming her voyage.
Her crew was saved.
Letter boxes have been attached to the
street cars in Hudders6eld, England, and
letters can be posted In these boxes as the
cars are traversing the suburbs, the boxes
being emptied by the postofics employees
on the arrival of the car at or near the
central postofice on each trip. If q PER
son stops the car especially for the pur-
pose of mailing . letter q penny is collect
ed by the conductor and deposited In the
fare box. This doubles the cost of send
ing the letter, but ths advantage of an i'm
mediate special delivery is secured and
letters are greatly expedited by the scheme.
Take vile asafa,ids for the grip, but for
an ordinary cold sniff pleasant Cologne
water, N. Roux, a French physician, says:
Gas soon as the FIRST symptoms are felt of
Q cold in the head or of the chest, little
Cologne water poured on handkerchief
should be inhaled as fully as possible by
the lose or more particularly by the mouth,
several times during the day. The inhsla-
ton of the Cologne vapor should be deep
enough to produce in the throat or pharynx
an intense feeling of burning that will be
dissgreeable at frst but will not last" The
inhalstions should be made exclusively by
the nose or by the mouth, according to
whether one seeks to check q cold in the
head or a cold on tie chest.
The meagre and Improbable results of
the sturgeon fishery in the Columbia river
this season shows that the sturgeon, as
well as the salmon, 10 fast being extermin-
ated in those waters because of wasteful
and entirely improper methods of fishing.
A few years ago it was believed the Colum-
bia river could easily supply the entire
east as we'll as the Pacific markets with
sturgeon. but this year the catch has not
been a tenth go large as in former years, to
the great loss of fishermen and packers.
But on the Fraser river, in British Colum-
bis, where adequate laws for the proper
prote ction of the fish exist and are strictly
enforced, the catch this year has been
better than ever before. One big packer
has removed his business this year from
Washington to British Columbia.
