The rumor that Gladstone, at the age

was as silly as it is untrue.
When the bicycle first appeared in
India it was not at all an Uncommon
thing for natives to fall down ind wor-
ship it. Calcutta can probably; claim
more woman cyclists than any other
city in India. They ride very well, too.

DEATH OF J. P. BRUCE.

Drowned in Wolf Creek septem Der 10th.
 On Friday, Septem Der 105h. sad ec- cident occurred on Wolf Greek, seven miles from Joe Mayors station.
 Mr. J. P. Bruce, well-known and prominent citizen of Prescott, had been
 over to the Grown King on business | and was on his way back to Prescott, accompanied by ME. Herndon, of the l Grown King. The roads were very heavy as is had been raining for several l days and Wolf Creek was up. MT. l Hsrndon asked Mir. Bruce if he dId not shipk he had better wsit until the stream went down, but MT Bruce | thought there WAS no danger, ss he had etten crossed the stream before 1 woen it was es high ss then, so they drove into she creek and were almost across. The sorFel horse had placed his fore feet on the opposite bank, when 1 the grey became unDanagable and backed back into the flood. Mir. Bruce | applied the whip vigorously but with no avail. He then said he would ges out, l take the horses by the bits and pull them up the bank, but before he had sime to rise 8 fresh sorrert of water came down, swung the vehicle around and the grey horse vent down.
 MT. Bruce's lest words were, "We will save ourselves and let the team go" The buggy cspsized and threw both gentlemen out in the stream ahead of is. MT Herndon used every effort to reach the bank, but does not know what became of MF. Bruce during that time, then he was swept down the stream and when close So the bauE , caught the branch of tree, which turned him around aud he caught last glimpse of Mr. Bruce, about seventy five yards ahead os him. As soon Rs he succeeded in reaching the bank, he ran down the stream for abons mile but could see nothing Of MT. Bruce, though he saw three of the buggy wheels hanging in ohe tree that grew in the middle of the stream. He came over to the station ss quickly as pos- sible and told the sad news Five men immediately started for she scene of the accident, where they were joined by another party from the Grown King They discovered MT. Bruce about three quarters of mile from where the at tempt at crossing wss made, lodged in tree There were several severe bruises on his head, other ways he eeem- ed uninjured; his watch stopped at twenty minutes 10 five. He was tend erly lifted up and carried to she station where he was laid out and the news telephoned into Prescott.
 NE. Fred BFecht and Mr. Logan, the Undertaken, came out 60 Mayer about ten o'clock in the morning and took Mr. Bruce to Prescott.
 The deceased leaves 8 delicate wife snd little girl, to whom the heartte!s sympathy of every enc in the comm unity is extended in their sad bereavement.
 Ohl had 1t but been told you, then,
 To mark whose lamp of life was dim,
 From out your ranks of fresh Tipped men
 Would ye have singled hiu?''

 Turner and Fruit Groacer:
 There is certainly very great differ
 ence in the cam phor trees grown for or-
 nement Tn this State. One variety has
 esddish berries, IS much slower in
 growth, ysry brittle ard tender and
 sGsily ttfscsed by cold. Ia the greaS
 freeze of 1894 and 1895 they were killed
 to tbe ground; the other variety with
 dark foliage snd blue-b!ack berries. ie
 much harder and hes breasted the storms of the past ten years without any damage.
 The writer has camphor tree that
 gss imported from Eastern Obins in
 1894. It oams in n small lesden box
 about ten inches long It now has spread of eighseen feet and is about thirty feet high; she trunk st the base
 messures twenty-three inches. Is bas
