The mercantile tax, which has here

county treasurer. At the treasury
headquarters no reason could be given
for the change. The commissions

popularity among the business men.

A DESERTED CITY.
Bridgewater, Ont, Is Without an In
habitant to Admire It's Splendor.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
In the county of North Hastings,
Ont, is a deserted town called Bridge
water, which is built entirely of mar
Bile. About twenty-five years ago a
farmers wife was searching in the
woods for pig that had strayed away.
In a particularly dense part of the for
est she found a cool spring of crystal
water, and stopped to drink from it.
AS she did so, she slipped on a round
stone and fell into the water. At
tracted by the peculiar color of the
stone, she fished it out and took it
home. Investigation showed ii to be
a twenty-pound nugget OF almost pure
gold.
Within six months the wilderness had
blossomed into the thriving. town OF
Bridgewater, with five thousand inhab-
itants. There were old forty-niners
from the Pacific slope, amateurs from
Great Britain and the United States,
prospectors from every field. Shafts
and tunnels were driven by the hun
dreds. In the sinking of a shaft a
mile south Of the town, on a claim Of
Il. Flint, of Belleville, who is now a
member of the Canadian senate, a vein
of white marble was discovered. At
the suggestion of Flint, who wanted
little or nothing for the material, the
town Of Bridgewater was built OF solid
marble. 1t has even to this day q
court house, school, church, hotel,
stores and private dwellings construct
ed wholly of this material.
While the town was booming the
entIre countrv rOund was nroSnecta1
Some of the shafts and tunnels were
driven more than a hundred feet in
depth, but, remarkable as it may seem,
there was never enough gold found TO
pay the cost of a single mine in the
district.
The place where the original Nugget
was found was christened "Aladdin's s
cave" and the land in it's vicinity sold
at fabulous prices. One farmer whose
farm adioined the cave sold five acres
to an English syndicate for 500, 900
cash. The syndicate spent another
SlOO, 900 in developing the claim, but
never obtained an ounce of free gold.
An aged Irishman at Bridgewater,
Patrick Keogh, received an offer of
1925, 900 for his farm, which consisted
of a hundred acres of rock-piled, bar
rem land. He refused the offer, hold
ing out for $3.50, ,OOO which he never got.
Today any one could buy the property
for 81 an acre.
Within a couple Of years it became
apparent to all that mining in Bridge
water would never pay and the pros
pectors and citizens departed, leaving
the marble town to settle down to a
futureless desolation.

Guarding Against Twin Germs.

A village clergyman tells this story:
He was walking through the outskirts
OF his parish one evening, when lie saw
one OF his pan ishoners very busy white
washing his cottage. Pleased at these
SOMEWHAT novel signs of cleanliness, he
called out: "Well, Jones, | see you
are making your house nice and smart"
With mysterious air, Jones, who had
recently taken the cottage, descended
from the ladder, and slo sly walked
the hedge which separated the garden
from the road. "That's not 'xactly
the reason why Pm doing this ere
job, )" he whispered, "but the last two
couples as lived in this ere cottage 'ad
twins; so l says to my missus, III take
an whitewash the place, so as there
mayn't be no infection. Ye see, sir,
as ow we got ten children already. -

Butchering hogs has many disagree
able features, but some of these, par
ticularly the lifting of the hogs before
and after dressing. can be robbed of
many of their objections by having Il
convenient arrangement for scalding,
scraping, cleaning and hanging. One
arrangement for tightening labor in
this way is shown in the accompanying
illustration. The farm sled can be used
as the scraping platform b. The Scald-
ing vat Il may he any large barrel
which will hold water Securely block
and brace it so that it will not be dis
placed in putting the hog in and taking
it out. In the iron kettle, c, the water
is heated. The hog is killed and drawn
along the side of the scraping platform
opposite the iron kettle. Instead of
lifting the carcass onto the platform by
band. make use of the pivotal lever at
tached to the post d. Place a chain
about the hind legs of the hog. hook the
short end of the lever into this chain
and the hog is lifted easily. The post d
is equally distant from the platform b
and posts g. b and f.
After the hogs have been scalded and
all the hair removed put in the gam
brels and with the lever lift them from
the scraping platform and swing them
