A Doubtful Compliment.

The London papers are telling an
amusing incident of the Prince of
Wales visit TO Canada thirty seven
years ago On his journey through the
provinces large number of petitions
and addresses of welcome were pre-
scented to him from every class aud so
ciety. One address sent by the Inn
berers and raftsmen of the Ottawa
Valley concluded with the words
Long may you remain Prince Of
Walesr'
This very doubtful compliment was
no slip of the pen, for when the fore
man of the raftsmen was questioned
ON the subject, he declared that the adj
uress meant exactly what it said
I'VE are perfectly satisfied with the
queen, and want her to remain on the
throne as long as she can"
In view of the queens jubilee. this
former raftsman. Mr.. Alan Manson,
wrote the other day to the prince. re-
minding him of the incident, and re-
ceived the following reply:
His royal highness perfectly remem-
bers the incident to which you refer
His royal highness greatly appreciates
and thanks you for your kind and loyal
sentiments, and he will not fail to make
them known to the queen"

GEE-WHIZ.

At every motion of his body or limbs he
said "Gee-whiz!" If he raised his arm or
crooked his elbow, or when he got up or
sat down or bent over if; he bent his knee
or turned his head he said "Gee-whiz!"
Gee-whiz was his way of expressing vex-
alton and trouble, and he had his peck of
it. Thousands do as he had done and have
bushels of it. He simply did very
foolish thing. He took off his coat at the
wrong time and in the wrong place. The
time was when he was overheated, and
the place was just where cold draft
struck him. He woke in the morning
with soreness and stiffness from head to
foot. If he had bethought him of the
right thing to do as most men do, he
would have gotten bottle of st. Jacob 5
Oil and rubbed it over his body Use il

your eyes, and say "Gee-whiz!' the
soreness and stiffness are gone.

The House bill, providing for pay
ing school taxes into the public treas

ton instead of being held as a special

At the present time there is special
school fund of over $4,000 in the treas
ury. On motion to pass the bill,
Senator McCandless moved to lay on
the table on the ground that the bill
was looking in the direction of cen
traliZation to which he is opposed.
Under existing conditions, he said, the
money from the several districts for
school tax must be expended in the
district in which It was collected. Were
the bill passed the Government could
spend it where they pleased. It was
all very well for Honolulu where the

ceived.

that small pox has practically died out

and that there have been as many as

Chinese are the victims, mostly. The
disease seems to appear every two
years and be preceded by rinderhest
amongst cattle. The incubation period
of the plague is nine days and as there
is diSinfectiOn at Hong 'KOng, the
danger of Hawaii is slight. DR.. Jordan
will send bulletins promptly and will
give timely warning to the Islands.
The plague in Bombay is violent, one

deaths.
From Yokohama, the Board agent
writes that health in the Empire is
