Boom il Ialc Mining.

T. A. Jackson, manager OF the New
England Tale Co. at Stock bridge, returned
last week from a conference with the Off
Gals OF the company in Boston. There
has not been much work done on these
mines for several years past owing to dis
sessions among the management, but
arrangements have now been made for the
working OF the plant on large scale. A
contract has been closed with the Great
Northern Paper Co. for the delivery Of a
carload of tale per day at its mills at
Millenocket, Me-, where eight cars OF pulp
are sent out each day. Tale or a substi-
tute is used for filling in all kinds OF wood
pulp and the Stock bridge tale is Of an
unusually fine quality, being free from
grit.
The New England Tale Co. owns the
Frank Durkee mine, situated in the town
of Stock bridge on the Pittsfield town line.
II is about on top of the mountain, and
after mining the tale is conveyed 2l0O feet
to the river road by an aerial railway,
working on the gravity system. II Is a
straight line with a rise of $50 feet in the
2400 feet. Three loaded cars take back
three empty cars and furnish five horse
power for use at the mines. The company
owns the old Jaquith mills at the mouth
Of Tweed river in Stockbridge, but will
install steam power to assist in times Of
low water. IL VIII also pat IN steel
grinder or roller Of double the capacity Of
the machinery now in use, which is old
style, and many new inventions have been
made in late years in tale grinding ma
chinery. The modern machine rolls,
instead Of grinds and has a blower that
takes the lighter tale in one direction and
lets the heavier grit fall in another.
Men will be put at work at the mines
this week and by the end of the month
Mr.. jackson expects to be employing 20
hands at the mines.

for export. The best of years produces
a total income upon which an artisans
family in London could not live for
more than four months; when the sea-
son proves an absolute blank, as did
the last one, starvation is the ineYita BILE
result. For weeks the Bretons suffered
the pinch of want without murmur.
They made no parade of their poverty.
Then the truth leaked out, and Europe
was shocked to learn that 100000 peo-
pie were on the brink of starya ton.
Fifteen thousand families owe their
livelihood to the sardine fishing, of
whom $4,000 members go out in the
boats and $4,000 work at the packing
houses or at home. For the first time
since 1881 the fishing last season was
practically nil. Forr factories that in
the previous year packed $4,000 cases of
sardines sent out only 800. Another
firm which normally exports 100000
of fish yearly shipped no more than
100000. Several factories did not open
their doors.
Each fisherman catches, in an aver
age season, from 100000 to 1900, 900
sardines; he did not net more than
1000 last season. In 1901 the men of
Gulvine harvested 100000 sardines,
representing SIS, 900. No more than
1900. 900 were taken in 1902, producing
81 900, to be divided among the adult
male population. In other words, a
fisherman who earned $40 during 1901
received last season only $3.50. The fe-
male curers who earned $35 in 1901
could only contribute $3.50 toward
keeping their families during the late
season.
The wages of the fishing crews are
arranged on a sort of sliding scale. The
owner of the boat receives about $4.15
for 1000 sardines. He takes half and
the rest is divided among his men, who
usually number five.
In the best of times Breton family
of six or seven mouths has to live for
~ months on about $2S5, but it was a
fortunate household whose income last
wear totaled $6O-fve dollars q month
to keep a healthy, hungry family of
half a dozen! The good folk are now
at the end of their resources.
The Bretons are picturesque race,
almost primitive in the simplicity of
their wants and aspirations. In the
matter of industrial developmtnt they
are, perhaps, half century behind the
times; in the observance of certain Gus
toms they live in an age long past and
unregarded in regions nearer the hub
of modern enterprise and utilitarian-
ism.-London Daily Mail.

Cleaning Oriental Rings.

If YOU have a genuine oriental rug
YOU need not fear to wash it whenever
the surface becomes soiled, as the col
ors are perfectly fast and the rugs
have been washed many times before
they are brought to this country.
Fasten it to a smooth, hard floor and
wash with strong soapsuds, then rinse
thoroughly with clear water to re
move every trace of the soap. Squeeze
out what water you can by pressing
the rug while it lies on the floor and
LET it drv before removing it. In this
way it viii retain its shape. When

any stiffness there may be. In the

FAMINE IN BRITTANY.
Sardine Fishers and Their Indn2tri-
Gus Wives and Daughters on
Brink of Starvation.

England has not forgotten the fish
ers of Brittany in the hour of their
need. Out of sympathy for people
that can suffer accomplishing and
in recognition of the kindly and rever-
ential treatment they accorded the
English victims of the Drummonti cas-
tie disaster, many Englishmsn have
subscribed substantial sums toward
the relief of the distress brought about
by the failure of the sardine fishing.
Though the keen edge of the hunger
which scores of thousands of men,
women and children silently endured
for several months has happily been
removed, much want and misery still
exist. The people of country of null
tlfarious industries, upon no single
one of which the workers as a whole
are dependent, cannot appreciate the
abyss of despair into which the Bretons
were plunged in consequence of the de-
sertion of their coasts by the sardine.
Upon the catching, curing and pa elk
ing of sardines thousands of Bretons
exist. Fathers and sons engage in the
fishing, while mothers and daughters
work at the preparation of the catch

Brazils, Ark, May llth-To be snatched
from the very brink of the grave is a some
what thrilling experience and one which
Mrs NJ. o. Garrett of this place has just
passed through.
Mrs Garrett suffered with a Cerebro-
Spinal affection, and had been treated by
the best physicians, but without the slight
est improvement.
For the last twelve months two doctors
were in constant attendance, but she only
grew worse and worse, till she could not
walk, and did not have any power to move at
all
She was so low that for the greater part
of the time she was perfectly unconscious
of what was going on about her, and her
heart broken husband and friends were
hourly expecting her death.
The doctors had given up all hope and
no one thought she could possibly live.
In this extremity Mr. Garrett sent for a
box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1t was last
hope, but happily it did not fail -,
Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes of the
remedy, and is completely cured. She says;
Il am doing my own work now, and feel
as we'll as ever l did. Dodd s Kidney Pills
certainly saved me from death"

SALT CURE FOR CANCER.
British Medical officer. After Years
of study, Makes w hat May Be
Important Discovery.

Capt Rost. of the military medical
service, who has been Investigating ma
lignant cancers bacteriologically at
Rangoon (Burma) hospital for three
years, announces what is believed to
be an important discovery.
He has found in both carcinoma ia
and sarcomata cancers distinct germs
of the saccharomycetis, which can only
develop when the natural chlorine in
the tissues falls below the normal
quantity.
Following this clew, Capt. Rost de-
vised a treatment to reinforce the
chlorine by a special diet, enabling
large quantities of common salt, which
contains chlorine. to be absorbed. He
has experimental with eight patients
One was completely cured and the con-
dition of the others improved He will
continue the experiment.
