years ago.
Big passenger steamers, with their
hundreds of passengers and their scores
OF stewards, sailors and stokers, afford
lnnumorablc opportunities for slowing

ship anchored below Montreal, waiting
for daylight before entering the harbor,
he, 1t IS presumed, slipped quietly over
board and swan ashoare. liz any case,
when the boat touched at Montreal and
was overruu by detectives looking for a
notorious jewel robber, it was inn
mediately suspected that the stowaway
was the robber and that he had escaped,
taking the jewels with him. He was
captured some months afterward and
confessed that when he swan ashore he
had more than $4,000 worth of jewels

row passages left when the vessels are
loaded with bricks, tiles, iron pipes OF
other similar cargo, These places are
extremely dangerous, and many cases
are recorded where the shifting of the
cargo has resulted in the death of some
unfortunate wretch in hiding.
During the passage of cargo boat tC

were startled the third day ont by 9

Christian Endeavor Jottings.

Never were so many calls from mis-.
sion boards upon their Endeavorers. It's
a high honor. Make your bow so low
that your pocketbook will fall out.
In South Wales and Monmouth. as
reported at their recent Christian En-
deavor convention. there are PIP Chris
tian Endeavor societies, with more thar
10, 900 members.
The concerts given frequently at the
rooms Of the Boston Seamen's Friend
society are usually in charge of the
Christian Endeavorers of the city. The
seamen greatly enjoy them. During the
past year 34S men have signed the tenn
perance pledge presented on these occa.
sions.
"As for me and my house," says the
editor Of The Christian Index, 1--WE
have put away ungodly competition,

A.tropomIcsl Photography.

In astronomical photography the most
startling figures confront us. Stars
which to the eye are invisible, even
with the most powerful telescope, are
readily depicted on the Photographic
plate used in conjunction with the tele-
scope-as an example, DIR. ellis photo
graph of the nebula near Argus. twill
give some idea Of the number Of stars
shown by this photograph to mention
that the space Of the sky that would be
covered by shilling held at arms
length from the eye contains no less
than 200, 900 stars, scarcely one OF
which would be visible to the unaided
eye.
Sir Robert Ball said in a lecture de-
livered by him in 1894 that among such
invisible" stars, photographs of which
he had shown his audience, there were
many sunk into space to a distance so in
concei vable that il the glad tidings Of
the first Christmas in Bethlehem. 1894
years ago, had been telegraphed to them
at the speed at which light travels.

We are called upon to record the
death of another young lady, Miss Hat
tie Malster whose parents reside three
miles west of here was taken with
severe pain in the side which developed
into typhoid pneumonia, causing her
death in less than a week. The symp-
toms were the same as those causing
the death of Miss Latin mentioned
last week. The physicians say that
medicine has no effect upon the malady.
1t is high time, we think, that this new
disease have a proper diagnosis and if
possible remedy found. Miss Malster
was 10 years of age and,will be badly
missed by her many friends.
Mr. Neal Waterman is quite i'll of
heart trouble, so much so that his
daughter had to dismiss her school to
help care for him.
The rains have so raised the creek
