Sell Genuine for Imitation,

Prof. Ray Lancaster, the British sci
enlist, has brought to light curious
trick practiced by London dealers in
osprey plumes. Some time ago the
princess OF Wales placed herself at the
head of movement to discourage the
use of real osprey plumes in order to
save the birds from slaughter The
result was an immediate decline in the
sale, since fashion could not fly in the
face of the princess Of Wales. But re-
Gently facts have come to the notice of
Prof. Lancaster showing that among
certain fashionable milliners it has be-
come a practice to sell genuine plumes
as limitations.

this trance that they thought the end
had come, and when she opened her

What True Love Is.

Sincere, serious love is never love at
first sight.
When one look--and the first one,
too-binds man and woman. you, may
be sure that one single word will
soon be sufficient 70 unbind them.
Lasting love comes slowly. progress
sively.
Beauty is not the mother of love.
On tho contrary, it is often love which
engenders beauty-sives brilliancy to
the eyes. Sracefulncss to the body, w.
bration to the voice.
The face, which reflects all the m
ner sentiments of the heart, betrays
the love OF it's owner. and is beautiful.
Absence is a tonic for love only
when men and women love with all
their heart and soul. When they do
not. the ancient proverb Is still true:
Far from the eyes. far from the
eart."--Max O'ReIl.

PIG POINTERS.

Burnt corn or charcoal is good FOR
scours.
To raise pigs they must be kept in
. a good thrifty condition.
No animal will make SO large re-
turns in so short time as the pig.
Care should DO taken not to allow
the SOW with pig to get too fat.
So far as can be done the SOW
should have abundant opportunity for
exercise.
During the winter special care
should be taken to protect the little
pigs from cold.
Allowing the pigs TO sleep in damp
quarters often induces cold and rhcu-
matism.

At no time in the life Of the animal
is the influence of liberal or scant
feeding so great as when the animal
is young. AS an animal eats less
when a month old than when year
old. so does the giving or withhold
ing of the same amount and value of
food produce greater results when the
animal is month old, than when it is
year old. The ratio Of effect pro-
duced Is yet greater than the dispar-
ity between the amounts usually con-
sumed by the animal at the two peri
DDS. Scant feeding young animals
produces that which it is all but inn
possible to overcome by liberal feed
ing later The digestive and assimi-
lative organs accustom themselves to
conditions and will not readily re-
spord to new conditions. They change
slowly, so that by stunning the animal
when young, tendencies are produced
that are very hard to overcome, caus-
ing condition very difficult to COM
bat with, only by persistent effort.

There is no excuse for an animal
carrying a pair of horns upon the
farm. Many a cow gets into winter
in poor condition because she has
been pestered by the horn fly, which
deposits it's eggs about the base of
the horn, later followed by maggots.
which destroy the horn growth. If
the horns were not there this would

JAPAN PLUMS.

In some sections this fruit Is highly
praised, in others it is unqualifiedly
condemned. But there is good rea-
son for thinking that it has place in
this country and that it will play an
important part in the future. At pres
ent it is merely adapting itself to a
new country. This fruit was intro
duced from japan, but is probably a
native from China, though it has been
found there in wild state. In japan
1t is said to receive little attention.
from which it may be inferred that it
does not stand high in the estimation
Of the people. 1t has not received
much attention in Europe and is not
likely to. The Domesticas have pos
tants are not likely to give up their
old varieties for something which has
not proved better than what they
already have.
Late reports are to the effect that
these plums are as susceptible as the
peach to attacks Of the ''yellows."
This may prove the greatest difficulty
of all,
The Japs will thrive where the Do
mesticas will not, and vice versa. The
latter need heavier soil than the for
mer and are a little more hardy.
Prof. Bailey once spoke of it as ''the
most important type of fruit introduc-
Cd into North America during the last
quarter of the century There seems
to be no good reason for disput-
ing this judgment. The fruit has It's

Clements has made a splendid

are plenty of people who recog-

service, who hold to the idea that
he has held the Office long enough

FIGHTING IS NOW DESPERATE
BETWEEN JAPS AND RUSSIA

St. Petersburg, June 2O.-The
general staff believes it probable
that Gems. Kuroki and Oku are
meditating a com bined attack on
Gen. Kuropatkin before he is
further reinforced. In order TO
DO this they must act before the
rainy season which is imminent.
The war office points out that
since it was Gen. Oku and not
Gen. Nodzu who fought, Lieut..
Gen. Baron Stalkelberg at Van
fangow, and that since Gen. Oku
recently has been directing the
siege operations against Port
Arthur, the siege seems to have
taken second place in the plans
OF the Japanese.
There is a rumor in St. Peters
burg tonight that a battle at Hal
Cheng is actually proceeding and
that there have been heavy losses
on both sides. There is, how
ever, no confirmation of this
rumor.
1t has developed that the
Japanese at Vanfangow had an
accurate Typographical map of
the whole battlefield and that
their batteries were connected

The man who conveyed this latter informs tiou to Che Forum was J. .. Nussbauu, who claimed tna, while in Skagway be was subjected to a terrible demand for taxes Of every description.
 J.F. Nussbaum will be remembered asa very uiaing individual to say the very least. Be was both tax and iuds- ment proot and che records of the city wiJ show that be never paid Q cent of any kind oi tax money to the city O, Sksgway.
 The miners were called .n from che creeks and boarded free at -he best hoe tel in Rampant, in consideration Of vot- ing ageinst incorporation. No cha.- lenges were allowed and when the polls were closed all but th board were ex- oludsd and the votes were counted in secret
 or the importation Of miners from far of creeks into the town, the Forum unblushingly says.
 '.The business men of Rampant through the columns of the Forum, thank the miners for their cheertu re- sponss to their call to come iu and vote a, last Tuesdays election.
 The Forum is a very conservative journal, loud i1 its admiration for Gov Brady and his methods and policies.
