The Candle Thief.

An odd experience befell Mr.. Hunter
during his return from hunting trip
to the settlement last fall. One evening
the Forty-nine Mile camp while he
went out to the howell to look after his
horses. To his surprise when he re-
turned to the camp the candle was not
only extinguished but could nowhere be
found. Mr.. Hunter is not entirely free
from the influence of those wild, weird
legends peculiar to the backwoods of the
Miramichi, especially those that relate
to a fabulous monster known as the
Dungarvon Hooper. He lit another
candle, however, and again went out to
attend to his team. When he came back
to the camp he found that the second
candle had vanished as mysteriously AS
the first. This was severe blow to Mr..
Hunter $ peace of mind, but he pulled
himself together and examined the camp
thoroughly to see If some practical joker
was not concealed about the premises
Finding no trace of nything i'll human
form, no placed his third and last can
die on the table, stood his AK within
easy reach and awaited developments
In few minutes flying squirrel hop
ped in the door, boldly mounted the
table and knocked over the candle, thus
extinguishing the flame. He started for
the door with his booty, when Mr.
Hunter took hand in it and put the
little rascal to flight Fredericton IN

Ether and Plants.

Ether, it has been discovered by a
Danish experimenter, has on plants an
effect exactly the reverse of that which
il has on animals, and instead of put
ting them TO sleep will awaken them
even from that deep slumber which or
dinarily nothing but the arrival of
spring can disturb. The plants to be
etherized are placed in alright boxes
or glass cylinders, according to size, and
exposed to the fumes for from "a to SO
hours. By doing this in the fall the &C
tivity which otherwise would not begin
for months is started, and the plants, on
removal from the etherizing chambers
to dollhouse, at once leaf out, bud
and blossom III most surprising way.
AS yet only willows, hyacinths and
lilacs have been tried, and in many in
stances we'll developed flowers were
produced before Christmas. With lilacs
the success was especially great, but
this is believed to be due simply to the
accidental hitting in their case of just
the right amount of ether to administer
1t is believed that further experiments
will reveal the best procedure to follow
with other plants and that the discovery
will be of vast importance to florists,
enabling them to control with accuracy
the out of season blossoming of any
plant The process is inexpensive and
easy of application, the only danger
connected with it being that of fire, as
the ether fumes are ready to burst into
flames on small provocation. New
