ROT fl GREAT SUCCESS.

It's hard to beat the American capi- talist. The action of the Ontario par liament in laying an embargo upon the exportation of logs has had @ result which the Canadian lumbermen had not calculated upon, in that it has in- duced quite number of American quire timber lands in Canada. and to either move their sawmill plants across fresh field of industrial activity. The Cleveland Sawmill company and Ed moved to Sarnia, Ontario, and their mills will soon be ready for operation. The Saginaw Salt x Lumber company, one of the largest concerns of that kind In the State of Michigan, has pur- chased tract of land near Windsor, Ontario, on the Detroit river, and will soon begin the erection of large saw mill, which will have an output of S0,- OO0,000 feet of lumber annually. c. K Eddy & Sons of Saginaw and Bay City, Michigan, have acquired land to build a large sawmill at Sandwich, Ontario, and other Americans in the same busi- ness are taking steps to acquire good locations for future operations of a similar character.
 The Canadians who thought to pro- tect themselves by the new law will find that they have only made compe- tition sharper. They will be lucky if they are able to stay in the lumber bus- mess

4 SERIOUS QUESTION.

The reliability of the census figures of mortality, showing lengthening of the average life, is questioned by the Secretary of the Indiana Board of Health. He finds considerable varia- tion between the census figures and those of the State Board. and pins his faith to the latter. Indiana, he says, has the most perfect law and method for collecting mortality statistics of all the States. Under the Indiana law it is almost impossible for a dead hu- man body to be buried without the fact being immediately registered, and by the fifth of each month the original certificate of death of each decedent for the preceding month is on file at the office of the State Board of Health. The United States mortality statistics are secured by the census enumera tors, who ask of the householder concerning deaths in the household for the year.

As families are continually shifting, and not infrequently children and ser wants are called upon for answers, it is plain that great accuracy is not secur- ed. The difference in the figures is considerable. The United States bulle- tin records 33,5S6 total deaths in h. diana in 1900, while the State Board of Health has on file, all ready for refer ence, the original certificates of death of 35, ,45S decedents. The United States is therefore in error to the extent of 1872 deaths. The diphtheria deaths, for every one of which the State Board has a certificate on file, numbered S43, while the United States report gives 523. Again, the whooping-cough deaths collected by the State Board numbered 322 and the government figure is POI. Pneumonia caused 3,061 deaths as the original certificates show, but the gov ernment report is 2,919.
 This is a rather important matter. Those who have been encouraged by the census to expect an increased length of days will do well to take an- other guess.

4 GOOD STdRT.

President Roosevelt took the oath of office Saturday afternoon, and before doing so said to the members of the Cabinet who were present at the cere- In accordance with your request, and in this hour of deep and terrible na- tional bereavement I wish to state that 1t shall be my aim to continue abso- lutely unbroken the policy of President Mckinley for the peace and prosperity and honor of our beloved country" At a meeting of the Cabinet the new President asked the members to retain their places, at least. for the present, and they promised to do so He also made the announcement that there would be no extra session of Congress.
 Thus the new government is we'll started, and everybody will feel cheered by the Presidents declaration that the policy of President Mckinley will be contineud absolutely unbroken." No more encouraging thing could have been said by the new President. The people have been we'll satisfied with the policy which has been pursued, and they will find hope and courage in its continuance. The new President has shown that he correctly estimates the responsibility that has been thrown upon him, and that he understands the feelings and the wishes of the people.

DISA GREEING DOCTORS.

l Who shall decide when doctors disa-
 the tuberculosis of cows is not trans
 missible to man or child is controverted
 in Germany, as elsewhere. Professor Virchow opposes the view of the great bacteriologist and is reinforced by Dr. Johne, professor of pathological anat-
 omy at the Veterinary College of Dres-
 den. In his essay, just published Dr.
 Johne says that "it Is precisely the milk
 of tuberculous cows that plays the chief part in cases of tuberculosis among
 children" To prove his point the doc
 tor mentions the case of a veterinary
 surgeon who injured his thumb while
 dissecting a diseased COW. Six months
 later tuberculosis manifested itself in
 the scar of the wound, and afterward tuberculous bacilli were found in his sputum. The surgeon died of consump- tion, and at the post-mortem examina- ton, the doctor adds, considerable number of similar bacilli were found in the joint of the deoeased's thumb. The conclusion is that the bacillus of bovine tuberculosis is a tuberculous bacillus of less intensive power, which is perhaps less dangerous as germ of infection for normal grown-up human beings of good health and strong powers of re- sistance, but that it is all the more de- structive to the tender organism of a child or to the organism of those grown-up persons who have weak con- stitutions or who are ill-fed and there fore not so capable of resisting infec tive germs.

A Kid dIe.

There's queer little house That stands in the sun; When the good mother calls, The children all run; While under her roof
 It is cozy and warm, Tho the cold wind may whistle And buster and storm. In the daytime this queer Little house moves away, And the children run after
 So happy and gay; But 1t comes back at night And the children are fed And tucked up to sleep
 In their warm, cozy bed. This queer little house
 Has no windows nor doors; The roof has no chimneys, The rooms have no floors; No fire places, chimneys,
 No stoves can you see, Yet the children are cozy And warm as can be. The story of this
 Little house is quite true, I have seen 1t myself,
 And I'm sure you have too; You can see 1t tonight
 If you'll watch the old hen While her downy wings cover Her children again.

Noting the approach of the football season, an English expert, commenting
 on the methods of the professional foot
 ball associations in Great Britain, says
 that blind, stark madness has had the feins of management in too many clubs
 recently. The accusation is based on
 the fact that the professionals have
 been receiving immense sums for their sservices. Plays who have been accus- toned to mine coal at colliers' prices, or to draw the wages of unskilled labor have been paid the salaries of ambas- snadors for playing football Not con- tent with this, clubs have put a pre- Smtum upon indifference to ordinary games by offering huge bonuses for vic- tory in certain games of special impor- tance. The football association has now stepped in and put limit upon clubs expenditures. That is to say, it has declared it illegal for more than $1,040 a year to be paid to man and has forbidden the payment of bonuses.

ter jabbering several minutes, finally start
ed in northern direction, taking their
captives with them.

"Oh, hope not"
The Indians hurried them on few
miles until they came to where some
ponies were tied. The girls were mounted
on a pony, and started across n large
prairie. The grass was green and tall
even for this season of the year. The In
dians travelled rapidly, crossing the wide
| prairie, and came to a heavy body of tim
Der, where they halted for the night.
Next morning they were joined by an
other party Of savages. These had three
| scalps, which Eunice saw We're the scalps
of children. She shuddered and asked
! herself what mothers heart was bleeding
at the loss of her babes. whose silken
locks her fingers would no more caress.
This day their journey was through for

were great, and Eunice was touched AZ
the many marks Of favor shown her by
her companion in misery.

But Eunice could not be deceived. She
knew the poor girl was tired; she knew
the hardships were telling on her. He,
