Largo spiders and small reptiles have
occasionally been brought to Montreal
in punches of bananas, but the higher
orders of animals are not often intro
duced to the city in this way, says the
Montreal Star Mr. B. Mussen of Wark
Bros, the fruiterers on Sherbrooke
street, was therefore, surprised to find
small opossum among some bananas
1t seems to be the species known as
the ashy opossum-Didelphys cinera-
which is not larger than a small rat
and probably comes from Brazil. The
specimen is female, and she has
brought with her family of six or
eight young opossums, which, though
born, as is usual with this order of ami
mails, in a very undeveloped state, have
survived their haphazard voyage, and
some of them, it is hoped, will reach
maturity i'll their new home.

Year.

Kansas City Couple Remarry Every
Year.
Just before Probate Judge Herr closed
his Office the other night he was paid
visit by very strange couple. The Wis.,
itors were middle aged man and wo-
man, fairly we'll dressed and very good
looking.
The man asked the judge if he would
issue them a marriage license and per-
form the ceremony. 1t is needless to say
that the judge answered in the affirma-
tive. The man gave his name as G. G.
Hopkins, and his companion answered
to the name of Lillian Hopkins.
Are you related to each other?" in
quired the judge.
Slightly" responded the visitor
"We are man and wife"
Judge Herr naturally asked him his
reason for being married again, and the
stranger related a very remarkable
story. He stated that they were mar
ried five years ago in the city of Chicago
and have celebrated their wedding an
niversary each year by getting remar-
ried
My wife and entered into an agree
ment," said he, "when we were first
united in the holy bonds of wedlock, to
the effect that at the expiration of the
first year our marriage should become
void, and Il we wanted to live together
longer we should get married again.
Our adventure with Cupid has proved
a happy one to both, and for five con-
secutive years we have lived together
and have been married each year."
Judge Herr was rendered almost
speechless by the strangers story, and,
after much deliberation, refused to mar
ry them, as he was in doubt as to
whether or not he had the power to do
so. Hopkins talked intelligently and
did not have the appearance of a

American Flag to the Front.

Police Sergeant Hiner, at Trenton,
n. j., stopped a procession of Slavs and
Hungarians on their way to a picnic the
other day and compelled the marshal to
advance the American flag from the
rear of the line to the place of honor in
front Soon after the procession started
it was noticed that large blue silk flag
was carried just behind the band, while
the stars and stripes were carried by
tall man at the rear of the line. The
marshal was notified that the American
flag should be put in front, but he paid
no attention to the warning. Word was
then sent to police headquarters, and
Sergeant Hiner stopped the parade and
told the marshal that there would prob
ably be trouble unless the positions of
the two flags were reversed. There was
conference of the leaders of the So
clety, and then the marshal ordered Old
Glory to the front and the parade was
continued. The marshal told the ser
geant that he didn't know that it made
any difference which flag was in front

Ancient Vocal Music Considered.

In recent lecture on Music" DR..
Hugh A. Clarke of the University of
Pennsylvania insisted that in ancient
vocal music the idea of approximating
the music to the words was never con-
sidered. The words were used simply as
peg upon which to hang their elabo
rate musical contrivances without re-
ference to appropriateness. So far was
this absurdity carried that one man set
the whole Acts of the Apostles to mu-
sic, and as great a musician as Pales-
trina wrote an elaborate motel on the
words, "Here beginneth the third chap
ter of the book of jeremiah"

TO REPORT ON HAWAII.
Senator Morgan of Foreign Relations Con
mittee to Go There.

Senator Morgan of Alabama, the
leading Democratic member of the for
eign relations committee, will leave
Sept. for Hawaii as representative
of the foreign relations committee to
make a report on the condition of
affairs in the island. He will report
the result Of his investigation to the
to the senate.
There has been so much conflicting
information filed with the foreign rela-
lions committee for and against annex
ing Hawaii that the committee deems
it expedient to send one of its members
to the islands to make a personal and
thorough investigation. Accordingly
Senator Morgan was selected for the
place because of his thorough knowledge
of the Hawaiian question.
Senator Morgan will be gone for sew
eral months, but will return before the
converting of congress i'll December. He
will then make his report to the COM
mittee without delay The committee
report will, it is expected, be ready to
submit to the senate shortly after the
Christmas holidays. 1t is probable that
Senator Morgan will grant hearings
while in Hawaii, when the annexation
lists and the antianneXationist alike
will be given equal opportunities to
state their sides of the case. Senator
Morgan's mission will also cover the
pending dispute between Japan and
Hawaii, looking toward a settlement
by arbitration.
Senator Morgan's report will be look
ed forward to with great interest by
public men, and his statement, which,
it is safe to say, will be a strong appeal
for annexation, will do much to make
the annexing of the Hawaiian Islands
by this country certainty Senator
Morgans two daughters will accompany
their father to Hawaii, and he will take
with him secretary. New York Jour

FUTURE VALUE OF GOLD.
Some Claim KlOndiIse Gold viii Cause Its
Decentralization.

Some Claim KlOndike Gold viii Cause It's
Decentralization.
Representative Hilborn of California
is one of the best posted men in con-
gress on the subject of gold mining,
having for years been interested in the
business i'll California.
He said to reporter recently that
some time before the newspaper stories
OF the great gold discoveries i'll Alaska
he had been receiving letters from old
miners, who were friends, telling of the
immense deposits Of gold in the Klon-
dixie country.
Il have no doubt" said Judge Hill
born, that the Klondike discoveries
will prove the greatest in the history of
the world From my knowledge of gold
mining | should think that there will
be paying quantities of the precious
metal to be found i'll Alaska for years
to come.''
Judge Hilborn does not think the
rigors Of the climate are such as have
been portrayed. He said that if he had
been at his home he would have made a
trip to the gold1ields merely for the pur-
pose of learning the facts for himself.
He believes that the world is on the
eve OF a great revival in gold mining.
The rush to the KlOndike country and
the talk of the rich finds there will lead
prospectors in every part Of the country
to begin hunting for gold. Many of
them will be successful All over this
country where gold has been mined i'll
former years new life will be taken ON.
In southern as we'll as in western states
goldfelds were worked in years past
and were abandoned because the quartz
did not yield enough to make money.
Under new processes quartz which pays
few dollars ton can be worked with
pISfit. In Judge Hilborn's state money
is being made out of property quartz
paying 50. 80 ton. Improved electrical
apparatus has cheapened the work of
getting out the precious metal. Mines
in California which were deserted years
ago are now being revoked with sue
cess.
Il predict, said Judge Hilborn,
that by 1900 more gold will be mined
in California than was taken out in the
palmy days when the state was made
famous"
e Judge Hilborn believes that the pro-
duction of gold for the next few years
will be SO great as to cause demoneti-
cation of the metal. ashington Star.

PASSES TO THE KLONDIKE
BY Way of the White Pass Is Much Easier
Than by Chill6at.

Than by Chill1at.
Harry Fitzgerald, who was a passen-
ger from Juneau on the Walla Walla,
which arriveu Saturday, brings valua-
BILE news regarding the two best known
passes to the Klondike-the Chilkat
and the White.
81 went over the White pass to Lake
Linderman on June II, just a month
before the work on the trail was COM
pleted, said he. 81 think it is by all
odds the best OF all the passes, and do
not understand why so many go by the
way of the Chilkat, particularly at
this time Of the year.
"On the American side private indi-
viduals have built the White pass trail,
and the Canadian government had %
men working for four months on the
Dominion side, so that there is now
fine broad trail over which horses and
mules can travel easily. The trail starts
at Shagaway, about three miles from
Dyea, and in a more accessible landing
place than the latter
From Shagaway, where wharf is
to be built, the road rises steadily and
continuously uhhl the summit is reach
ed at a point l, 100 feet lower than the
highest point on the Chilkat. The de-
scent to Lake Linderman is about the
same as on the Chilkat. Packing over
the White pass costs 10 cents pound.
Mr. Fitzgerald states that great guam
titles of food are piled up along the
trail at intervals all the way from Dyea
to Sleeps Camp, which is six miles
from the summit. He says that in some
places the piles are as high as two story
houses. Not half of these provisions can
get over this winter, but he says that
there is little danger of spelling, as
nearly all is canned goods and -four
in stout canvas sacks. The Indian car
riers are working for those who pay the
most, and as the rush is increasing and
the adventures are impatient the ma
tives are getting rich. Mr.. Fitzgerald
will return in four months. His desti-
nation will be the Stewart river, where
he believes the discoveries will eclipse
those of the Klondike.-New York

Useful Information For Prospective Gold
Seekers.

Useful Information For Prospective Gold
Seekers.
The first discovery of gold on the
Klondike was made in the middle of
August, 1895. by George Cormack.
The only way into and out of the
Klondike in winter is by way of Juneau.
The only way to live there is to imi-
tate the Indians in dress and habits.
1t is useless to wear leather or gum
boots. Good moccasins are absolutely
necessary.
The colder it is the better the travel
ing. When it is very cold, there is no
wind, and the wind is hard to bear
Indian guides are necessary to go
ahead of the dogs and prepare the camp
for night.
In the summer the sun rises early
and sets late, and there are only a few
hours when it is not shining directly
on Alaska.
In the winter the sun shines for a
short time only each day.
1t is 2, 800 miles from San Francisco
to St. Michael's.
1t is 1896 miles from st. Michael's
to Dawson City.
in summer the weather is warm and
tent life is comfortable.
The winter lasts nine months.
There are two routes by which to
reach Dawson City, one by st. Michael S
island and the other via Juneau.
By steamer it costs $3.50 to go from
San Francisco to Dawson City.
Dogs are worth their weight in gold.
A good long haired dog sells from $3.50
to 5000.
Skates might be used to good advan-
tage at times.
The Yukon river is closed by ice from
November to the latter part of May.
On the Klondike the thermometer
goes as low as 80 degrees below zero.
There is great variety of berries to
be found all through the country in
summer.
Game is very scarce.
Vegetables of the barber sort can be
raised.
Stock can be kept by using care in
providing abundantly with feed by en-
silage or curing natural grass hay and
by housing them in the winter
In summer abundance of fine grass
can be found near the rivers.
In appearance the natives are like
the North American Indians, only
more 1.-the and active, with very small
feet and hands.
They live IN temporary camps both
winter and summer, either in the noun
tains or on the river, according to the
habits of the game they are hunting.
Gold was first discovered in the vicin-
ity of Sitka by Frank Mahoney, Edward
Doyle and William Dunlay in 1878.
OF the seven trading stations in the
Yukon district five are located upon the
river bank.
The first American traders to engage
i'll the Yukon trade were members of
the Western Union telegraph expedi-
ton.
With the first breath of spring the up
river people prepare for their annual
meeting with their friends from the
outside world.
Supplies are purchased chiefly in Cal
ifornia and carried from there to ST.
Michael's.
The Yukon is navigable for $50 ton
steamer for distance of 1000 miles.
At distance of 600 miles from the
ocean the Yukon river is more than a
mile wide.
The Klondike mining region is in the
latitude of Iceland and lower Greenland
The longitude of ST. Michael's is
farther west than that of Honolulu. -

A Pet Robin That Talks.

About a year ago robins nest was
broken up in the neighborhood of Woos-
ter street, New York, and one of the
young birds fell from the nest to the
ground. 1t was too young to fly and was
at the mercy of cats, dogs, boys and
other mortal enemies of birds, when
Miss Edith Bartlett came to the rescue
and took the bird into the house. 1t was
provided with comfortable quarters in
a cage, and the family became so at
tached to it that when it reached the
flying age it was decided to keep it for
a pet rather than to turn it out into q
cold, unfeeling world in a dry season,
when worms were scarce. The bird
showed remarkable intelligence and ap-
parently took an interest in what was
going on in the family. When the win
dows were open in the fall, the robin
began to initiate the notes of birds out
side and the whistle of boys Miss Bart
lett began to teach the bird certain
whistles, and it became an adept. -

FOR THE BABY.
A Valuable Hint to Every Father ard
Mother.

Mother.
There are two kinds of babies in the
world the kind who have too little
nourishment and the kind who have
too much.
The first kind Of babies starye be-
cause their stOm achs are too weak to
digest the amount of food necessary
for their growth and healthful devel-
opment and the other kind are over
fed with the result, that the delicate
stomach and intestines are ln1lamed
and as every mother knows, thous.
ands of infants die yearly when warm
weather begins, from stomach aud
bowel disorders.
Opiates, soothing syrups and ca.
thartics, however mild, are not what
is demanded. Go TO the root OF the
trouble, assist the child's digestion,
give the little stomach the aid neces-
sary to thoroughly and promptly di-
gest its food, and the little one will
thrive ard grow and gladden. the
mothers heart.
10 give perfect digestion to the
child it is only necessary to give in a
pleasant form the harmless digestive
contained in the we'll knowd tablets
sold in drug stores under the name of
Stuart.s Dyspepsia Tablets. Stuart's
Tablets contain no so called drugs,
but are composed of pepsin, pure asep-
tic, fruit acids, starch oigestives and
are put up in lozenge form, with
sugar or milk, very pleasant to the
taste and have been used for years as
the safest, best remedy for any form
of indigestion and stomach troubles in
adults, but recently many remarkable
cures have been made in the cases of
weekly babies who fail to grow and
thrive as they should.
A Buffalo mother short time ago
who despaired of the life of her babe
was so delighted with the results
from giving the child these tablets
that she went before the notary pub
lie of Erie Co., N. Y :, and made the
following affidavit:
Gentlemen Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's were recommended to me for my
two months old baby, which was sick
and puny and the doctors SAID was
suffering from indigestion. | took
the child to the hospital, but there
found no relief. a friend mentioned
the Stuart Tablets and L procured a
box from my druggist and used only
the large sweet lozenges in the box
and was delIg hted to find they were
just the thing for my baby.
| feel justified in saying hat Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets savel my
child's life.
Mrs. W. p. DETHLOPF.
Subscribed aud sworn to before me
this 18th day of April, 1897.
HENRY KARIs,
Notary Public in and for Erie Co.,
N. Y.
For ba bies, no matter~hOw young or
delicate, the tablets will accomplish
wonders in increasing flesh, appetite
and growrh. Use only the large
sweet tablets in every box. Full sized
boxes are sold by all druggists for 30
cents, and no parent should neglect
the use of this safe remedy for all
stomach and bowel troubles if the
child Is alllng in any way regarding
its food or assimilation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets has been
known for years as the best prepara-
ton for all stomach troubles whether
in adults or infants.

in stamping out malaria in q notori-
ously unhealthy valley covered with
stagnant pools.

Extraordinary stories are sometimes
told of the speed with which camels
can travel in the desert, and of their
wonderful endurance of fatigue. But
according to recent statements there
has been much eXaggeration on this

seven miles and half per hour, and
that even that speed is no. ordinarily
maintained longer than two hours at q
