Edward Blazier, a farmer, has beeu
ailing for some time and his symptoms

of his vicinity, who one by one gave up
the case as incurable. Notwith-
standing the fact that he was unable
to work and was slowly wasting away,
BLAZER was the possessor of a raven
Gus appetite, being particularly fond
of meat.
When DR.. Fred A. Wild, of Bound
Brook, took up Blazers case two
weeks ago he proceeded to make him
self thoroughly acquainted with the
symptoms. When questioned Blazer
said that he suffered painsin the region
of his stomach and occasionally ex-
perienced sensation is if something
animated was movng about. Further
questioning brought out the fact that
the family were in the habit of using
water from a nearby spring for
drinking purposes. This informat ton
confirmed DR.. Wild in his belief and he
urged an operation which was per-
formed the other day, when the doc
tor removed from the patients stom-
ach full-grown bullfrog more than
five inches long. When taken out the
animal was dead, having been killed
during the operation. It was similar
to ordinary frogs, except that exam
ination showed that it never had the
use of it's eyes.
Blazier is now on the road to recov-
cry and is the center of attraction for
all that neighborhood. He now re-

Even Denmark is having trouble
with her dependencies. The" latest
murmur OF discomfort comes from Ice
land, where the inhabitants are ask
ing 2 greater measure of home rule,
says recent dispatch The only COM
promise Denmark offers is that new
councillor be granted the Icelanders,
who shall have seat in the Danish
parliament or rigsdag. This is sup
posed to be what the Danish govern
ment means by "a moderate extension
OF home rule" But this is just what
the lcelanders do not want, as they
think that it would mean a gradual
aessening of the power of their own
althing.
According to the constitution Grant
cd Iceland during the visit of the king
'of Denmark to the island in 1874 it is
stipulated that Iceland shall be IAN
1naienable part of the Danish king
DOM" This has been interpreted by
successive governments and parlia-
ments to mean that Iceland is a mere
department or stitte and not a sep
arate state, entirely independent of
che Danish parliament, though under
the same king as Denmark. Since the
adoption of the constitution, the Dan

In Copenhagen it is said that the
spirit of independence of the Iceland

the fact that its people wish to be freed
from the Danish tariff which prevails

Reports are reaching civilization of
the operations of the past winter in
the interior and upon the coast of
Labrador. The season was, generally
speaking, mild one and the fatalities
among the Indians fewer than usual.
A good supply of furs was secured,
but none of such peculiar value as
some of those taken during the pre-
ceding winter, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
The highest price paid for a single
skin of last winters catch was $500.
which was for black silver fox, the
king of all the fur-bearing animals
OF Labrador. Exactly double that
amount was paid for skin of the
same variety, very noble specimen,
about year ago. Prices in general
are scarcely so good at present as
they were this time hast year.
Marten skins, which have brought
as much as $25 $ kin, sold this spring
for from SIS to S18. Traders are espe-
cially proud of the offers and minks
which they obtain from Labrador,
which have fur of peculiar fineness
and luster.
The hunters fnom the interior of
Labrador had not heard of the death
OF Queen Victoria until they emerged
from the woods a few days ago. No
mail matter can reach them during
the winter. Even the residents along
the coast had only six mails from au-
tumn till spring, and these had to be
conveyed over the snow by dogs .on
sleighs for want of proper roads and
other means of conveyance.
The Oldest living settler upon the
coast is Philip G.. Touzel, who went
there from Jersey nearly so years ago,
and for more than 20 years was the
only settler. He visited civilization
the other day after long stay in his
dreary home. he is most interest
ing character, quaint old-world fig
ure. He is the only Protestant in
Sheldrake, where he resides, even his
own children being Roman Catholics,
but he possesses the confidence of the
IL families of the place to such an ex-
tent that he is their doctor, minister,
lawyer and postmaster. When asked
what he generally prescribed for those
who fall i'll in the winter time, far
away from medical aid, he replied,
meditatively:
II find that they generally crave
little whisky-that is, of course,
whisky with some other ingredients
mixed in with it. I don't give it to
all who ask for it," he said, "but I
have found it most efficacious in a ma
Jority OF cases. During one hard sea-
son." he continued, IAN epidemic OF
grip or something of the kind killed
a score or more and threatened the
rest OF us, but by determined effort
1 managed to gain the victory. It was
