Recnect of Elders.

Respect of elders is the paralysis
of the young. The young have a
chance of clear vision, but in this
blessed country they only see what
their elders expect them to see, only
think what their elders expect them
to think. So they grow into elders
who learn nothing with years bit

thinking. Listen to the grave tai

EiHE1tinu Owls.

Owls have a habit of dealing with
game they have killed that leads
some observers to think that, like
dogs, they prefer fowls that have
not been too recently slain. One
of the birds will often leave a
chicken or rabbit for a day Or two
before eating it. An old trapper
saws he has often had muskrat traps
robbed by owls, only part Of the
rat being eaten.
When he finds trap so disturbed,
the trapper leaves the rat where it
lies and sets another trap beside it..
In all probability the bird will re-
turn He second night, in which case
it will be more than likely to be in
the trap when the owner comes next
morning. An owl in trap will Of
fer to fight, and, if it gets chance,
will peck at it's captor or his dog un-
mercifully.
A farmer who caught one Of the
birds by setting trap alongside Of
a chicken that had been killed in
judiciously reached out to catch it
by the feet. he free foot executed
a movement that was entirely be-
yond the farmers comprehension,
and the next minute the latter
found his arist gripped in set Of
claws to which the trap was as moth
ing. He was obliged to kill the
bird, and then found that the claws
had penetr ted to the bone.

An effort has been made by the
City Council to divide the town
into fire districts The effort to
improve old conditions is at least
commendable, but it is a serious
question, whittier the new system,
which we published in our last
issue, will prove of any material
advantage to the firemen.
Last Monday it was. decided t.
practice the sounding Of the alarm
why practice the sounding of an
alarm is not altogether clear to
to mind Of the writer but however
it was an alarm drill e. 1t was
proposed to ring all the alarms Of
the code A gale was blowing al

says, was throVn INTO a panic
It was perhaps fortunate fol
this occasion that false alarms had
been previously sounded.

Many Wonder.

Many wonders how it is that pin
worms and stomach worms get
into little children, Or how a tape
worm, 800 feet long, can get in
and exist and grow inside Of a
man, as it sometime happens.
They may well wonder, for 1t is a
great mystery However, many
now know from experience that
Mothers Worm Syrup will rid one
of intestinal worms and greatly
improve the ghealth after the
worms have been destroyed and
expelled. It is absolutely a harm
less remedy to take, and as it only
costs % cents, all should try il
who suspect worms to be the cause
of their ill health.

At once the galleries were start
ed with over 500 feet of solid salt
above them as roof. By last
Saturday evening one gallery had
gained length Of 16 feet, and
will be carried on till there will be
no end to them.
The mines have been worked
night and day but since the shaft
has reached its desired level the
night force has been called Off for
the time being. Everything is
working smoothly. The develope

WEEKS ISLAND.

a deposit of the finest, purest
and best crystal salt has been
known to exist on Weeks Island
for several years. Various points
were selected for the sinking of
test holes by drilling, and after
much prospecting a site for the
mine shaft was selected where the
upper surface of the salt bed was
only 80 feet from the surface of
the soil
Genl. F f. Myles, who under
took the development of the salt
ON this island, decided to sink a
twelve-foot iron caisson down in
to the salt bed, in order to avoid
the leaks so common in shafts
where they are protected only by
earth and timbers. After several
years of arduous and perplexing
work, calling for the exercise OF
the finest engineering skill in the
country, the quicksands and water
we're conquered, the caisson was
landed into the salt and a perfect
" tight dry joint was effected.
Many were the barriers that
caused a suspension Of the work
but none were so great as to
cause the Genera. TO waver in his
determination to achieve ultimate
success. Many devices were EN-.
ployed. and finally compressed
air, before the sands and water
could be held back. 1t may be
noted that the mining experts or
Belle Isle, after loosing one shaft
completely, spent thousands OF
dollars in an effort to freeze the
sands and quarry out the frozen
mass. Their first effort proved a
failure. The walls thawed and
extensive caving was the result.
A second effort is being made on
smaller opening, wherein it is
hoped they will be able to main
tain freezing temperature.
The shaft on Week Island hav.
ing been completed down to the
salt and a joint effected, it was
comparatively pain sailing to
carry the shaft on down in solid
rock salt to depth Of 600 feet.
This work was completed on Fri
day, the last day Of February.
Joseph Glaubricht is the foreman
of the mines, and he took as
deep an interest in this task as
Md the General in having it done.
Thu required depth of 600 feet

planted some three hundred trees
at Catahoula lake, on the east side
of the lake. We are of opinion
that this will prove a paying en-
terprise, as the place is surrounded
by a dense wood, on ali sides, and
also by the lake on one side and
the swamps on the other sides,
which protects this place from the
