A Novel Plan Proposed to Raise
Money For Charity.

A friend informs the Times
that at a recent, meeting of the
woman's sewing society, it was
suggested by some of the good
danes, that hugging societies be
organized to raise money for
sending missionary to the Phil
ippines. Here is the plan pro-
posed. The boys are to pay for
the privileges as follows:
Girls under sixteen, 13 cents
for a hug of two minutes or 10
cents for short squeeze; from
sixteen to twenty years, so cents /;
school marms, 40 cents; another
man's wife, $1.O0; widows (ac
cording to looks,) from cents to
So; old maids, 3 cents each, or
two for 5 cents and no limit of
time. Ministers of the gospel
are not charged. Newspaper
men paw in advance and are not
allowed to participate until every
one else is through.-FlOrence

New Eorests in England.

An English writer, in discussing
the question OF the unemployed, sug-
gests that the waste lands of the United
Kingdom be planted with trees to in
sure a good supply of wood in the
near future. This visionary is wor-
ried by the wooden things imported
into England from America. He says:
ga visit to the docks elected a deal OF
curious information. The manufac-
ture of such useful little articles as
clothes pegs, umbrella sticks, mouse
traps and skewers has almost ceased
in this country, yet the profit attach
ing to these goods must be consider
able, or it would not pay to cut down
the timber, make the goods, pay the
railway charges to the nearest port,
then expenses of shipping them from
America to England, cost of unload
ing, middleman's charges, cost of car
rage to the places where they are
sold and carriage to the shops. The
same applies to oars-of which, at the
docks, there were a vast number
rollers for washing machines, lathes,
flooring boards and palings. The
coopers' trade is also declining.
America sends over enormous quanti-
ties of wood all cut to measurement,
with slaves, heads and wooden hoops
complete. All that the coopers have
to do is to put them together. New

<shious r~rip-scores Drowned In the
reacherou waters-NcIief Proposed.
SEATTLE, Wash. (Speciai).-The story OF
last winters suffering in the wild interior
Oh British Columbia along the Edmonton
tran VIII soon be told. The steamer Lau-
rada mas Just arrived from Wrangel and
other Alaskan ports, and brought the first
chapter OF the story OF deaths by drown
Ing, starvation and freezing. Several men
nave Just arrived there from points on the
trail, and within the next few weeks all
VIII be out. The deaths reported by the
Laurada number nearly two hundred.
Fifty men have been drowned in
the Great Slave Lake. Twenty have
persisted in the rapids of Mud and Laird
RIVERS, There have been at least ten
deaths from freezing and twenty-five from
scurvy. Several miners have been lost in
the woods. Bodies of scores of men who
uied from exposure have been found. The
details of the terrible story of death and
the names OF some twenty victims were
given at NranSei by men who were almost
dead after a years suffering. Only the
strongest got through to the coast, and
hundreds of others are still in danger.
Fifty miners lost their lives by drown
Ing on Great Slave Lake. OF these but
three are known by name. The boats
foundered when n great distance from
shore and no one knows the identity of the
unfortunate miners. Many others were
drowned while fording various rivers.
Boats were wrecked while trying to shoot
the rapids of Mud, Lizard and Nelson rivers,
and parties OF from two to five we're lost.
Fuller details of the death by scurvy, ex-
posture and starvation will be mad when o
big party OF miners, now fighting their way
put OF the country, arrive.
Where bodies were found Identification
was nearly always possible, but those who
reached the coast have no Information in
many cases. Many parties are reported
missing, having started through the mount
aims intending to go to a certain post but
failed to arrive.
Pltifui appeals for help come from miners
In scurvy camps at Dearie Lake and Mud
River. TIT Hudson Bay Company was
preparing to send a relief party to D earle
Lake With vegetables for those sick with
scurvy. The Northwest Mounted Police
were also going to give assistance. Accord
Ing to miners, more than this will be
necessary if many lives are to be saved.
All who are out are bitter against the
Dominion Government and the Canadian
Pacific Railroad. All sorts of names are
applied to Off cials who persuaded them to
try the route.

Cultivation of Grape Fruit.

Grape fruit has always been grown
in southern California, but only lately
has there been any demand for it. 1t
is practicallya new luxury. But prices
are high, the consumption is large and
many people are therefore going into
the business. A man named McGin-
MS, near Pasadena, has twelve trees
from which he shipped last year fifty
nine boxes of grape fruit that brought
him an average of s. a box. Thus far
the shipments of grape fruit from this
part of the country have been furnished
from a few scattering trees. There
has been no cultivation until the last
lew years, but now the people are set
ting out extensive orchards and are
grating the trees up in a skillful man
ner to improve the fruit and increase
the juice and reduce the percentage of
pulp.

A vast sum of money can be paldfof
a really choice wall paper. The most
costly wall paper ever designed is
metalled and la%cquered, the lacquer
preventing the metal from becoming
furnished by the atmosphere. The
paper which, unlike the cheaper wall
papers, is hung horizontally, and not
perpendicularly, is made in lengths OF
twelve yards, and costs no less than
$50 per piece. The designs for these
expensive papers are by the leading
artists of the day, who receive heavy
fees, and the cost of m~etalling aud
lacquering is really enormous, so that
the profit on a wall paper sold at So
per yard is, after all, not very great.
1t is interesting to note that very often
the papers are mounted on calico and
placed upon the wall in such a way
that when the tenant moves to another
house or flat, he may take his costly
wall paper with him. Detroit Free

FLED FROM HIGHWAYMEN
Thrilling Ride Of a Connection

B~ehInd-Up Hill and Down Dale They
Raced, Till the Lights of Derby
Conn, Were Reached.

DERBY, Conn. (speciaD.-Mr. and Mrs.
Gaise L. Boothe, of this city, had a wild
ride in getting away from h~ighwaymen on
the Housatanic River road, between Zoar
Bridge and this city, a distance OF eight
miles. The Boobies left oar Bridge at 10
p. M, having spent the day at Mr.. Boothe's
fathers country home. While passing
through a clump of trees near Assistant
State Secretary Humans country place,
The Naples, they were aecosted by three
men in a carriage,
''Is that you, Boothe2" asked one OF the
men.
"Yes," answered Boothe. "Who are
your"
"Pull up a minute; we've got a little
business with you" said the voice.
Better call at my office in the morn
Ing" said Boothe, as he whipped his horse
into a lead run. On came the pursuers,
and 1t was the widest ride that Mr.. and
Mrs. Boothe ever had.
Mile after mile they went at top speed.
Half tho distance the road was SO narrow
that 1t was impossible for one team to pass
another without pulling into the brush.
For the first few miles the Boothes were
well In the lead. While Boothe dashed the
horse his wife kept watch behind. They
we're in a two-seated carriage, Mrs. Boothe
being in the rear seat.
On sped Boothe's faithful mare. white
with foam. The horse OF the pursuers was
Just as white, which enabled Mrs. Boothe
to see the animal better. Twice Boothe
wanted to turn into a %farmyard and fight
1t out, but his wife urged him on.
As they passed the Loveland place, with
half the distance covered, one OF the pur-
suers threatened to shoot If Boothe didn't
pull up his horse.
"Shoot and be blamedl' was BOTTLES
reply, as he urged on his mare. Both
horses were running at ~breakneek speed
up hill and down dale, through sandy
stretches and over good gravel.
On they sped until the lights Of Derby
shone in the faces of the Boobies, and
then they knew the race was won. They
drove into Housatanie avenue, while their
pursuers, not daring to come into the light,
turned about.
Before leaving Boothe quarrelled with
one OF his men. He says this mar knew
that he (Boothe) had a large amount OF
money with him.
The suspect has disappeared. Mr.. Boothe
says he had more than $1,000 with him.. He
was unarmed. In return for the faithful
work OF his mare Boothe turned her out to
pasture and says she can have a whole
month"; Nnct

To fish while mounted on the back
of a horse probably would be beyond
the capacity OF gentle Izaak Walton OF
delightful memory, yet that is the way
sturgeon is captured in the frozen
rivers of the Ural Mountains. Russian
Cossacks fish in large bands. They
gallop along until they reach the point
in the river where the current has its
swiftest flight. There they dismount
and cut into the ice until they have
cleared a small pool of water which
extends across the rapid current al
most from one bank of the river to
the other. A net is then sunk to the
bottom of the stream and stretched
across it at the open pool SO that not
a single fish can swim beyond its
meshes. Then the horses are mounted
and the Cossacks turn back and ride
along the edge of the river for about
four or five miles. Then the band
wheels about and gallops rapidly
along the ice-covered stream, making
a picture that would delight a Schreyer
or a Fromentin. The loud cannonade
caused by the beating of the horses
hoofs on the surface of the ice terri
fes the sturgeon and they swim
quickly in advance of their pursuers,
tumbling finally in swarms into the
net that waits their capture .-London
Telegraph.
