Waiting for Developments

On the Tuesday following the shoot
ing the patient had as comfortable a
day as could be expected and on We'd
nesday there was the same waiting
for developments, which it was hoped
might be good, but feared would be
bad All that the Doctors could do
was to try to keep the patients
strength up. They feared blood pois-
oning all the time, but could do moth
ing to prevent it, as they did not
know the course of the bullet They
were all ready for instant operation
should it develop, as if it did there
must be instant operation or death
would be certain. The patient might
appear to be getting well, but suddenly
the blood might come into contact
with the putrid matter sloughing from
the wound and be turned to gall, and
then the patient would die. The oper-
ating instruments were kept to hand
and the surgeons stood guard.

How sponEes Arc sold.

When offered for sale in the local
market in the Bahamas, spOnges are
either piled up loose or made into
strands or beads of from two to ten
sponges each. The best sponges are
usually made into strings of from
eight to ten spongcs each. Others are
generally sold in lots not strung. The
buyer, however, is not guided in his
purchase by the number of sponges on
a string. but by what certain lot will
weigh, and the weight is never given,
but the buyer must estimate it; hence
practical experience is needed in the
purchasing of sponges.

there was the slightest necessity for,
but the debate has in the main been
legitimate, although Senator Petit

the American Continent where the
life of the farmer carries with it
that assurance of comfort and sue
cess az does Western Canada. Nor
IL there to be found anywhere else
such pleasant combination. Game
abounds everywhere and nowhere
does it afford such perfect amuse-
ment. A noted sportsman writing Of
the favorite pastime says: There is
one particular spot where I saw .
man drop 20 mallards one morning,
and bring them all to bag. toos for
they dropped in open water or on
fat prairie. At the right season Of
the year you can see black lines and
triangles cut sharply out against the
sky all round you, moving very
swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the
prairie-chicken growing like barn
door fowls; and little to the north
east is bit of marshy ground, cat
tie poached, and dappled with glcam-
ing pools. where the snipe are near
ly as thick as mosquitoes. A thin
column Of blue smoke curling up in
the distance shows you where few
wandering Indians have pitched their
camp, but there is no other indica-
ton of civilization in sight. Still.
the neighborhood is weIl-settled, and
short drive viii bring you to .
farmhouse where you can buy the
finest butter and the freshest eggs
for uncivilized prices.
"A very short railway Journey will
bring you to a country full of deer
and the lordly wapiti, the king Of
the deer tribe the world over; and
down on the fiat, Doggy land by the
lake shores the moose win stand
knee-deep in water on the summer
evenings, ready to lie down when the
flies get bothering. All day you
breathe the wild free air of the
prairie, and at night you are lulled
to- sleep by the surge and ripple and
splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the weird
banshee-cry of strange waterfowl
