KLONDIKE GOLD FIELDS.
Appointment of Dominion Investigat-
ing Commission Probable.

Montreal, Oct ct is understood
that the Dominion government will soon
appoint a commission to investigate the
charges of official maladministration
and bribery in the Klondike gold fields.
Such a move has been equally urged by
its friends and political opponents. One
result will be the abolition of the rights
of officials to hold claims, another may
be wholesale dismissaIs from the ser
vice. There is good reason to believe
that the government is seriously con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of abolishing
the 10 per cent royalty tax

shnds Trees In CitIes.

Several large property owners in
Chicago have received circulars from
the Tree-Planting association. whose
headquarters are In New York city.
urging them to plant trees and thus
furnish means OF needed shade In hot
seasons to come. Tho appeal issued
asserts that the cooling effects of trees
In cities are recognized both by scien-
lists and laymen. and calls upon al
owners OF city property, but especially
tenement-house property. to plant
shade trees In front Of their buildings.
The association insists that shade
from trees can bo obtained in q few
years II the right sort Of trees are
planted, and 1t offers to send free to
all inquirers from its Office ut 81
White street full information as to
what trees are most suitable, where
to get them and what It costs to have
them set out. The fall is the time
to plant trees. so that persons who arc
willing to experiment according to
the Tree-Planting associations sugges-
lions should make their arrangements
at once.

Religion, Orders In the Philippines.

Wv US ~ "tsfIPtA'Ss
Archbishop Dozal, at Manila. has
given the world the first clear exposi-
ton Of the status OF the religious or
dew In the Philippine Islands. He de-
clared that under tho new state OF
things these orders must go. and hop
ed that the islands would neither re-
main Spanish nor become absolutely
Independent. The prompt interven-
ton of a strong western power alone
would save the islands from relapsing
into barbarism. For the condition OF
affairs prior to the American occupa-

How TO Prevent Coughing.


The following Is from a doctor con-
nected with an institution in whicn
there are many children: There Is
nothing more irritable TO a cough than
coughing. For some time l had been
so fully assured Of this that l deter
mined for one minute at least to les
sen the number Of coughs heard In a
certain ward in a hospital OF the In
stitution. BY the promise OF rewards
and punishments l succeeded In In
ducing them to simply hold their
breath when tempted to cough, and In
a little while / was myself surprised
to see how some Of the children en-
tirely recovered from the disease. Con
slant coughing is precisely like
scratching a wound on the outside OF
the body; so long as 1t Is done the
wound will not heal. Let a person
when tempted to cough draw q long
breath and hold 1t until 1t warns and
soothes every air cell, and some beue-
At will soon be received from this
process. The nitrogen which Is thus
refined acts as an anodyne to the mu-
cous membrane. allaying the desire to
cough and giving the throat and lungs
q chance to heal. At the same time
a suitable medicine will aid nature in
her efforts to recuperate.

The leaves. flowers, roots and bark OF

Peach and cherry pits contain prussic

Suffering IL Contagious.


According to DR.. Gulzmann. whose

suffering. Like yawning. It is catch

more initiative. the more apt 1t Is to
inhss any defects Of speech on the
part of those by whom 1t is surround
ed. Conclusive evidence OF the con-
,tagious nature Of suffering is to be
found in the fact that the number OF
stutterers in a school increases stead
lily Is the children pass upward from
class to class. In the public schools
of Berlin, for example. the number OF
stutterors among the children in the

Babies are fused over. talked to. and

first year Of its ~sojourn here below the

Allow the little frame to become 40
customed to the strain upon 1t 30

ours.
1t Is wise to continue this whole

though very many mothers imagine
a child Is rendered shy II 1t Is not
pushed ahead a little each day while
1t is in the nursery.
