AS Lake Louise, Mirror lake and Lake
Agnes have been aptly named by a
prominent society lady. Beyond snow
fed Lake Agnes, amid the Spruce and
Tamarack, the Wood Anemone, the
sweet Blue Bell of Scotland, the fern
of the Highlands and the Alpine Edel-
weiss, the bridal flower of the Swiss
mountaineer, and the Heather that re-
minds one of the bonny Scottish hills,
and many other brilliant hued flowers
add beauty to the scene.

Malays, but mot gagged.

their capture, the chaplain told me
afterward, which occurred just as they
were entering the village to go to the

he would marry the girl off-hand, and
wanted to remain back and thank her,
but insisted upon getting out of the
place as quickly as possible, and when
we reached the boat landing there
stood our Malay heroine. Daniels
clasped her in his arms without a
moments hesitation, and swore that
if she came aboard the ship with him
he should marry her there and then
why not have the ceremony take
place here?' said /. His reverence is

say the maiden looked very willing.
On the following day the ship was

things which might be acceptable to
the chiefs daughter. She was taken
on board, and all the youngsters at
once fell in love with her. And when,
three weeks afterward we sailed for

Fortunately we had taken the advice
of an old quartermaster in the morn

before. He told us that the Malays

would be foolish to go ashore unarmed.
Although we had no apprehension OF

, possibly get into the woods and see
something to shoot at had made weight
than the sailors warning, so we had
slipped our revolVerS on to our sword
belts. AS the crowd came angrily to-
ward us there could be no mistake
about their intentions. They were I'M
doubtedly hostile. We looked around

A Kansas Divorce Case.

In a suit for divorce In the district

dry goods bill for April as evidence
why the divorce should be given
him, The total of the bill amounted
to almost the mans monthly salary,
and yet there was only one item
showing an article Of any practical
value. There was n pair Of hose;
the other articles we're velvet. silk,
pattern, sidecombs, kid curriers'. rib,
corduroy, grass cloth, etc. No item
in the entire bill amounted to more
than sixty cents. There yer six
items of silk" billed at from ten
to thirty cents each. The word
velvet" appeared quite frequently,
at prices ranging from five to fifteen
cents. There we're seven items of
sidecombs. A number of we'll
known women were summoned by
the man as witnesses. and they
said they could not possibly imagine
what the wife had done with the
hundreds Of articles which were of
no practical value. The divorce was

A RELIC OF BARBARISM.
Belief in Remedial Qualities of Part
of the Human BODY.

That belief the Chinese have In
the remedial qualities of substances
forming a part of the human body
seems to be ipradicable, says the
New York Times. Thinking that
Europeans still held the same silly
ideas led as muck. as anything else
to the Tien-Tsin massacres of
twenty-five years ago. Prehistoric
man drank from a human skull. be-
lieving that the uncanny goblet had
a certain potency.
Not so long ago the skull Of a
suicide was used in Caithness as q
drinking-cup for the cure Of
epilepsy. Cases have been cited
where superstitious people, within
the last thirty years, have dug up
BODIES so as to possess themselves of
skulls for the same purpose. AS
late as 1878 in the official pharma-
ooppia of the London College of
Physicians mention is made Of the
skull ''of a mar who had died a
violent death" For centuries in the
past, for the manufacture of certain
quack %nostrums, notably an ONT
ment, ground skulls were used. The
medical books of Nuremberg of two
hundred years ago also cite mumia-
or the embalmed flesh Of mumnies
AS a sovereign cure for certain
diseases. The Egyptian mummy was
a specific for one malady, the Ten
eriffe mummy for another.
Excluding all the other strange
substances employed in early medi-
cine, there Is a trace of canpibalism
in the use Of these mummied sub
stances. It has been shown that
cannibalism does not arise In all
cases from hunger, but that to cot
human flesh is a religious rite and
favored by the gods. In some re-
mote manner it has something to do
with sacrifice. Describing super
stitions the fact is cited that to-day
Irish peasants use skulls to hold
water In under the belief that the
water thus becomes curative.

BRITISH

The Atlanta Journal well says,
that England is the greatest of
all land grabbers and has some
remarkable methods of territor-
ial extension.
One of these appears in a res
cent edition Of the British official
publication known as the Estates
mans Year Book"
When that book came out in
1877 it gave the area of British
Guiana at 5000 square miles.
The same book in it's last issue
places that area at 1O9, 900 square
miles. We have meyer heard OF
an easier way to acquire 80, 0OC
square miles.
England has done nothing
since 1877 to enlarge her posses
sions in South America and if
British Guiana had only 10000
square miles in 1877 it has nc
more now. The claim of an in
crease of 80, 900 square miles in
that territory is probably put
forward as d sort of notice thai
England intends to seize thai
much of Vene7uela's territory
But where will this process stop
The next Statesman's Yeal
Book may add another big slice
to England's alleged possessions
in this hemisphere.

Britain and Venezuela grow:

issue is awaited with anxiety BY
some other powers.
