as "three miles below 'Pangman's tree.'" The Rocky Mountain House took its name because it was no near this landmark before the trading post and continued to be after the post had ceased. A transcontinental railroad passes not far away now, but it has not obliterated the memory of the post nor blotted from the minds of men the liv- ing and leafy monument.
 As for Peter Pangman, he went into history the day he carved his name in the bark and identified himself with the tree. After years of plain and mountain service he returned to the eastern parts of what is now the Do minion of Canada and bought lands and reared family. A son of his has been member of the Canadian Parlia- ment. This may preserve the name of the son, but as for his father he will be remembered over a great region and in histories and geographies as the au. thor of "Pangman's tree"

FRUITS IN WINTER.
How They Should Be Served and

ho" AneS should Be served and

 Fruits are more appetizing, and, per hapS, more easily digested, if taken in the early part of the day-whether or not before the breakfast must be de termined by the eater.
 Grapes, oranges and shaddocks may be served before the cereal. Baked ap- pies, peaches, baked bananas, figs, dates. ps-o-= q. slowed ~r4.,s >'au'' be seryed s- the close of the breakfast
 RaIsius, sultanas. dried figs and prunes should be soaked thoroughly, so that they may take up the same amount of water with which they have parted in the process of drying, and should then be heated just enough to soften the skins.
 The sub-acid fruits, such as apples, figs, dates, peaches, perSimmonS, pears, prunes and apricots, are, perhaps, the best of the winter fruits, and may be used to good advantage with animal foods.
 Acid fruits must at all times be used most sparingly, especially by persons inclined to rheumatic troubles. The continued use of an orange or shad- dock before breakfast will diminish the power of stomach digestion, for which reason they should be served with cereals, or such foods as require only intestinal digestion.
 The papaw and pineapple belong to class alone. They contain a vegetable pepsin which assists in the digestion of the nitrogenOus principles. These fruits, then, may be served with meats, and will aid in their digestion; when served with bread and butter they do not form so good diet. They are more digestible raw than cooked, as the heat destroys the activity of the fermentS.
 Apples, as a rule, are more easily di- gested cooked than raw, although raw apples are more palatable.
 The fashion of adding sugar to fruits should be avoided, as they have all ready been endowed with a sufficient and cereals are converted into sugar any further amount would be stored in the system, to its dertiment.

Drawing a Splinter,

Removing . splinter from 9 suffering hand may not be a nice and pleasant subject, but home surgery may some times give some one a feeling of heart felt joy. The sufferer who illustrates the matter on this occasion was a car penter. He was working at his trade at an institution over which the sisters U4 the Roman Catholic church presided. One day he broke off an ugly splinter in his hand and could not get it out. He went home at the close of bis days work feeling no annoyance from the wound, but by the next morning the hand was in a serious condition and so painful that working was as impossibil- ity. On his way to the doctors the car penter stopped to tell the sisters why he must delay his work.
 ''Let me see what can do with your hand before you go to the doctor" said one of the sisters. The man demurred. "Yes, '' said the sister, with gentle in sistence, ''it will do no harm anyway" She quickly filled within an inch or so of the top rather wide mouthed bottle with steaming hot water, and as she held it another sister pressed the in- famed part of the injured hand gently down over the opening. Such peculiar senSationl It seemed to the man that his whole hand was being drawn with great force into the bottle. He would have taken it away, but the sister was holding it gently, but firmly. Then there was feeling of relief. It seemed as if the inside of that hand had become liquid and was pouring its unpleasant contents into the bottle. That was al- most exactly what was happening, and with the liquid went the offending splin- ter. The hand was bathed and bandaged, and the carpenter continued his work without further inconvenience.-New York Times

The Resinous Memorial of a Sturdy
 Fur Trader.

The Resinous Memorial of a Sturdy
 Fur Trader.
 Peter Pangman is down in Canadian reach the Rocky Mountains, and also the first white man ever to see them from the East. While in the employ of fur traders he asccnded the Saskatche- wan above its junction with the Clear water, and, looking to the westward, he saw the white mass of the Rocky Mountains, to which he afterward pen etrated, but he marked this spot of his first vision by carving his name on a pine, which from that day became known as "Pangman's tree.'
 The great North country was far enough off in 179O. Peter Pangman had no special cause for believing that any second person would pass that same way. It was more reasonable to sup nose that time or fire or wind would destroy this one pine among the mil lion other pines, and yet 107 years after he made his rude inscription Fang mans tree" Is spoken and written about. Some years after the Northwest Fur Company established post on the Saskatchewan in the vicinity, which came to be called Rocky Mountain House. But the post was described by it's proximity to the tree and not vice versa. All the travellers and traders of the early days speak of this place
