Indian sometimes with a companion or
two) used to return from the west every
year at a certain moon, ostensibly for
the purpose of honoring the graves of
his fathers and to use again his ances-
trail right of hunting the deer and bear
among the wild but verdurous hills,
says Lippincott,s; yet gossiping tar
heels hold that really the visits were
for the purpose Of opening again the
concealed mine of lead or silver, whose
rich spoil the sons of the forest have
been seen bearing off in their packs.
Another form Of the story relates that
a certain hunter always won't tell"

halves of good silver (still seen in cir
culation), yet was never known to buy
silver in any form. Weeks and months
were spent each year in searching for
these secret treasures. Occasionally
the enthusiasm would mount to the
height of sending far off somewhere to
fetch back the "old hunter" More
than once such a one has been per-
suaded that there was more richness in
his bullets than he had supposed; and,
regretting vainly the many pounds Of
good silver lead that he had shot away
at deer, coons, geese and other game,
he has been brought back to his old
haunts. Then, with many keen eye
tracking his golngs with his persuading
friend, weeks would be spent in BUSH
beating, cliff climbing and laborious
search along rocky shores, about cayer-
nous hills in fens, boys, and dismal
dens in the deep woods, but only to the
utter disappointment Of all their fond
anticlpations. The "old hunter" finds
that time has obliterated his way
marks; bush and tree and rock and rill
lack the familiar aspect, and he whose
confused recollections formed the basis
OF vast schemes of gain returns to hii
distant home displrited and dishon'

A British paper says: British trade
with Japan has had most encouraging
developments during 1885, Great Brit
ain and her dependencies-British In
dia, Hong Kong, Australia and Can
ada-now enjoy the greater share. In
this important trade a reversal Of the
relative positions Of Great Britain and
the United States has been developed.
Americas share in Japan's foreign
trade for the first half Of 1896 was
only one-seventh, while that of Great
Britain amounted to nearly one-quar-
ter, and that of the British empire to
upwards of 46 per cent of the whole.
Great Britain has largely preponder-
atlng share in the supply Of steel rails

The Chicago cigarette dealers and

there is great difficulty in enforcing the
cigarette law. The Woman's Club sug-
