half gallon to a set of wheels, though
more than enough to do the work will
be needed, as the trough, while boiling,
must be filled so as to cover the felloes.
This trough (a) can be made of gal
vanized iron by timer. 1t should be
about % inches long, three inches wide
and five inches deep at the middle. BY
making the bottom only 16 inches long
and slanting the two ends to the top,
the bottom will nearly conform to the
circumference of a wheel. Set this pan
on brick or stone in such a way that a
fire can be built and kept up under it.
Put in enough oil to cover the felloes,
and let come to boil. You are now
ready to put in the wheels.
To prepare the wheels, let them soak
in water until The tires are tight, wash
ing out all the mud and dirt possible.
On one side of the trough drive a stake,
the top of which is to be about the
height of the hub of the wheel when set
in the pan. A stake with fork at the
top will be found the most convenient.
On the other side, set in the ground a
2x4 in which Il row of half-inch auger
holes have been bored, ranging from a
few inches below to few above a level,
corresponding with the stake on the OPP
posite side. BY running piece of sap
ling through the wheel and laying one
end in the fork of the stake, letting the
wheel hang in the pan, just free of the
bottom, and inserting a pin III the auger
hole of the 2X4 that is at the desired
height, as a rest for the other end. the
wheel can be easily managed. If ii is
wedged on the sapling, 1T can be turned
by that means.
After being placed in the'oil the wheel
should be slowly turned TO prevent
charring. The length of time required
to boil wheel depends on its condition,
as does the amount of oil it takes for a
set. Two sets OF wheels can be easily
set in half a day. This job will prove
far more satisfactory than one per-
formed by a blacksmith, who, often on
account of the dry wood swelling after
he has shrllnk the tire. ruins wheel

SAMOANISLANDS|
Their People, Productions, CONNER
cial and Strategic Importance.
Have a Population of $4,000 People, of
Whom 200 Are British Subjects, 125
Germans, 25 Americans, and
so Other NationaIities.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The people,
productions, commercial and strategic
Importance of the Samoan islands are
discussed in the publication just issued
by the treasury bureau of statistics.
The islands lie in an almost direct line
between San Francisco and Australia,
and slightly south of the direct
steamship line connecting the
Philippines with the proposed
Panama or Nicaraguan inter-oceanic
canals. Their special Importance,
therefore, it is stated, lies more in
their position as coaling and repair
stations on these great highways of
commerce rather than in their direct
commercial value, their population
being small and their imports und ex-
ports of comparatively little impor
tance.
The group consists of ten inhabited
and two uninhabited islands with an
area of 1,700 square miles and an ag-
gregate population, according to latest
estimates, of SO, 900 people, of which
something over 200 are British subjects,
125 Germans, % Americans, 25 French
and % of other nationalities,
while the remainder are natives
of the Polynesian race. The bulk
of the population is located in the three
islands of Upolu, Savii and Tutuila;
the number in Upolu being 16. 600, in
Savii IL, 500 and in Tutuila, which con-
tains the harbOr of Pago Pago, coded
to the United States in 1873 for naval

are of volcanic origin but fertile, pro-

TRAGIC MURDER AND SUICIDE
French Canadian Killed His Indian
Sweetheart and Then Drove the Knife
Into His Own Heart.

CHICAGO, April S.-A romantic and
tragic story comes from Point Pelee,
Ont. James LaBlanche, a young French
Canadian, killed his sweetheart. an In
dian girl named Olga Postamie.
The Frenchman lived on the main
land and had not seen the girl during
the winter. When he went to her
home he learned that she had given
her love to another, an American. He
begged the young woman to take a
walk with him.
When they arrived at Lovers Rock, "
a spot made famous because an Indian
chief had there murdered French
girl who refused to marry him, La
Blanche is said to have stabbed Miss
Postamie.
He threw the body into the lake and
then drove the knife, with which he
had killed the girl he loved, into his

An Evidence of Prosperity.

It is generally conceded by economists,
who study the commercial situation of the
country, that the great arteries of railway
travel are a sure indication of its condition.
A depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancella-
ton of pleasure travel, while healthy con-
dition of affairs means business trips and an
increase of passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the

Vanderbilt system, between New York and

With a view to taking the best possible care
of its patrons, the New York Central has
arranged to increase the equipment of this
train by placing an additional standard
sleeper on the trains leaving New York and
Chicago Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days. To the regular traveller the appoint
ments and comforts of this train are well
known, but if you have never made a trip
on it, you owe it to yourself to see and en-
Joy the advance made in comfort and lux
ury in modern railway travel. Remember
the fare is no higher on this train, except
between New York and Chicago, while the
accommodations and service place this par
ticular train conspicuously at the head of
the list, when compared with other lines
