THE PASSING THRONG.

" APT. J. A. RITCHIE, who is now
making Seattle his home has just

he was master OF the steamer Ora,
running between Dawson and Ben
nett Capt Richie was the first COM
mander 10 run the ora through the White
Horse rapids. AS she is the first boat Of
any size TO go through there. the feat was
one of which he felt quite proud. At
certain stages of the water, the captain
said yesterday, when seen al the Hotel Sc
attic, the White Horse rapids are not very
DANGEROUS. and while az all times X re-
ouires skill nerve and good Judgment, du-

Spray in Time.

Every fruit grower should own a
spraying apparatus and should apply
Bordeaux mixture once before the
blossoms open, second time just as the
flowers are opening and again when
apples are about the size of peas and
a fourth and fifth spraying at intervals
of about three weeks thereafter, says
a bulletin from the Oklahoma station.
This should prevent apple scab and
fungi that attack the foliage. The so
gallon formula for Bordeaux mixture
is as follows: Water, so gallons; Blue
stone, pounds, unslacked lime, 4
pounds; take one head out of a So
gallon vinegar barrel and fill half full
of water Tie up 6 pounds of blue
stone in a piece of gunny sacking and
suspend ii from a stick across the top
of the barrel, beneath the surface of
the water. In another vessel slack 4
pounds of lime to a smooth paste free
from Jumps and grit. When the
smooth paste is obtained add enough
water to make rs gallons This is
called the milk of lime and must be
well stirred before using. It will be
found very convenient to cut a 50-gal-
lon barrel in two, making two 25-gal-
Ion tubs. Having a 5O-gallon barrel
empty, each of two persons should take
a bucket and into the barrel one should
pour the milk Of lime while the other
at the same time pours in the blue
stone solution. When all is mixed
a steel knife blade should
be held in the solution for one minute
and then examined. If the steel takes
on a copper color more lime must be
added, but if it does not the prepare
ton is ready for use.

A Dyspeptics daily diet.

Dyspepsia Is one Of the most prevalent of
diseases. Thousands of people suffer from
X in more or less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful to the individual
or more far reaching in their effects on
human life and happiness. What the dys-
peptic needs is not local treatment, not
mere temporary stimulus. The real need
Is the toning up of the entire system. For

Ing, and promptly eject any intruding
disease. The success of DR.. Ayers Sarsa-
parilla in curing indigestion and dyspep-
sia is due to just this quality which it
possesses, of renewing the vital forces,
repairing the waste and loss of the body.
The ordinary treatment brings the food
down to the level of the weak stomach.
pr. Ayers sarsaParilla puts strength into
the stomach, and brings 1t up to the level of
the strong food fit for men. 1t does this
by strengthening the entire system. The

other organs are gaining strength. What

A road for hauling purposes must be
judged by its worst spot

Some idea of the attention that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is now
paying to its passenger traffic may be
gained from the fact that during the
past eighteen months nearly 500 pas
senger cars received thorough and or
binary repairs, 696 being repainted.
Nearly all of the equipment is now
royal blue and most of it is equipped
with Pintseh gas, the Pintsch light
being used on local as well as through
trains.

AN OLD BELL.
How IL Was Rung I'm the Cause Of
Justice in Italy Many
NeRrH Ago.

There Is an old bell I'm corner of
the Glen island museum OF natural his
tory that attracts unusual attention on
account Of the story connected with IT,.
The bell itself Is not much to look at,
says the New York Mail and Express,
but its story appeals 20 the better
side Of human nature.
II Is TO the effect that In one of tho
old cities Of Italy, many centuries ago,
the king caused the bell to be hung in
the tower in one Of The public squares,
and called It "the bell Of Justice" He
commanded that anyone who had been
wronged should 60 and ring the bell,
and so call the magistrate and ask for
and receive justice. In the course Of
time the lower end of the bell rops
rotted away and n wild vine was tied
to IL to lengthen Il. One stormy night
the Inhabitants were awakened by the
loud changing of the bell. An old and
starving horse that had been aban-
doned by its owner and turned out 20
die wandered into the tower, and, I'm
trying 10 eat the vine. rang the bell.
The magistrate of the city, coming
20 see who demanded justice, found the
old starving horse, and he caused the
owner of the animal, I'm whose servicc
he had toiled and been worn out, to
be summoned before him, and decrced
that az the horse had rung the bell OF
justice he should have justice, and
that during the horses life its owner
should provide for him proper food and
drink and stable.
Hon. John II. Starin, while travelling
in Italy, saw the bell, and, hearing its
history, determined TO bring IL 70 this
country. The people, however, were

OUR TINY PACIFIC POSSESSION
May he Made 20 Serve Our
Government Well.

How many persons know that the
United States has possessions in the
South Pacific that might be used as
coaling stations in our campaign
against the Philippines? Did you ever
hear of Baker island, or Rowland is
land? It's thousand chances to one
that you never did, but they have been
United States possessions since 1857.
1t has been suggested that these tiny
islands might come in handy just at
this time, pending the annexation of
Hawaii. They have never before as
sumed the slightest degree Of impor-
tance, and even now the officials of
the war department at Washington are
not inclined to believe that they can
be put to practical use, except in case
of the most dire necessity.
Still, that emergency might possibly
arise, and these desolate spots upon
a still more desolate sea may yet serve
a purpose heretofore undreamed of.
The exact location of Baker island, to
be accurate, is latitude 10 minutes 80
seconds north, longitude 176 degrees
20 minutes 80 seconds west. Howland
island lies two or three miles to the
north.
Neither island is inhabited, excep3
by sea fowl and a multitude of half
starved, vicious rats. The latter do
not hesitate to attack human being.
At certain times of the year the islands
are visited by vessels. which load Will
guano, which abounds in great quan-
titles. What little vegetation there fa
is coarse and scanty.
Baker island has no fresh water, but
on Rowland island are several pools
Of brackish water, supposed to be par
tally freshened by distillation from
the sea. The anchorage is said to be
very unsafe. The former island boasts
a movable wharf. 1t is quite impos-
Isible for vessels to load between No
.vember and April.
Rowland island is two miles long
and half mile wide. Baker island
is one mile long and three-quarters
of a mile wide. Aside from the fact
that they are out of the usual sail
ing course, it would seem that the is
lands would possess little value as a
base of war supplies. But still there
is some satisfaction in knowing that
they are there, and that they belong
to our government. The time may
come when, insignificant as they now
appear, we may be glad of their ex-
istence.-N. Y. Herald.
