a City on Vancouver Island Where Women
Are at Premium.

n SANS " vancouver Island Where Women
Are at Premium.
There is q city in the western part Of
Canada, close to the Pacific ocean.
which is named by all who visit it the
most desolate spot upon the face of the
earth. Its climate is good, its natural
resources excellent, its houses fair, its
streets well paved. yet within this town
there i an air Of forlorn detection that
strikes the most careless traveller that
comes within its boundary.
1t ls on Vancouver island-a sweet.
fair spot. And the desolation is caused
by one thing-one only-the lack of
women and girls.
This particular town is scarcer Of the
product than others Of its locality
There are many towns upon the island,
but this one lacks women 30 sadly that
In a recent census of the place it was
found nearly 8, 900 short. This number
included a count of serving women,
women to do the work of the house,
cook and wash and iron. 1t also included
working girls and women who are not
expected to marry. And. Of course, it
took in the queens Of the city, the fair
matrons Of the homes and the mistresses
Of the pretty establishments.
Today the doorsteps of these hou ses
yawn vacantly and the vines futtering
over the portals seem to say, She comes
not yet
The greatest bargain sale Of wives
ever known took place upon a recently
opened domain a few years ago. a
frantic call was sent to the cities for 100
women. And poor girls, out of fun and
curiosity and willingness to have a
home, went out there. The men met
them at the station The girls looked
them over shyly. By evening all the
girls had found boarding places in the
wooden shanties Of the town. " And
by Sunday the parson was Kept busy ty-
ing the nuptial knots. The prettiest
girls and the richest ones got the
wealthiest men. A girl with $50 was an
heiress and man with 800 prince.
The plain girls took up with poor fel
lows, with hopes and chances. 1t was a
quick, natural selection.
One very handsome fellow, with
blond curls, got a very pretty girl,
though neither had a cent It was a case
of beauty. The rude courtship was car
ried on in the three evenings between
the time the girls arrived and Sunday,
and within a week there were nearly
100 small wooden houses going up III
the town.
There is no name for this peculiar
state Of society where women are want
ed to make homes and where money is
laid down for them and paid to them to
queen it over a home. A glaring head 4
line in an English paper once called it 4
''The Barter of Women In America. "
But among those who see the satisfac- 1
tory after workings it is merely the I
good natured consent Of the girls to ad- I
just themselves to their country, which .
is yet new enough not to be as evenly [
distributed as it will be when the twen-
ty-frst century man and woman come

- NOS

In all ages the nose has been regarded as
strongly indicative Of character.
Goethe had a large Roman nose, rather
more bent than usual in that type.
The blind are often almost preternatu-
rally gifted with the sense of smell
The French and Spanish Bourbons were
all endowed with large, thick noses. Most
Of them ia addition had weak chins
AS early as 100 b. G. the Crock writers
make mention of pulling the nose as an
insult offered by one man to another.
The mole's sense Of smell is very keen.
As he has no eyes worth mentioning he
must depend Oh his nose to inform him Of
the whereabouts Of hi prey.
1t l. a singular fact that dogs dislike
most odors that are disagreeahle or often
sive to man. The smell Of ammonia, for
example, viii drive dog almost wild
When odors are faint. men sniff the air
in order TO gather in Inyle and thus detect
with greater accuracy the character Of the
odor The same habit il also practiced by
many Of the lower animals.
In the members of the human race the
bones of the nose become consolidated only
when life is far advanced In The ape these
bones are consolidated into one soon after
the animal attains maturity.
Cutting off the nose as a punishment for
crime or as a mutilation for revenge was
practiced from the most ancient times un-
til the last century. In England almost
To the beginning of the nineteenth cen
tury, it was legal punishment.

lows in The British Botanical Review:
"As it may be considered law in
vegetable physiology that all plants
have a tendency during the termination
Of their seeds to develop in two diamet-
ricaIly opposite directions, the root and
the stem, the question arose, Might
not this direction be influenced or c0un-
teracted by submitting the terminating
seeds to a current Of electricity? Accord
ingly, a series Of experiments were un-
dertaken which were carried out with
elaboration of detail After months Of
patient experimenting feel justified IN
announcing that no definite conclusions
were drawn from them as to the rela-
tive effect Of the electricity, although
