THE STAPLES REUNITED

The late Sunday afternoon train
over the North western last Sunday
brought in a couple of passengers
who, notwithstanding a previous
estrangement, and a separation Of
nearly four months, appeared to be
as happy as nature intended.
They were Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Staples. The latter, it will be re-
membered, left her husband about
four months ago, disappearing with.
one John Drochter, who is now in
the county Jail awaiting the action
OF the grand jury, and finally Droch-
ter quit her while she was working
in a restaurant in Chicago. When
Staples heard that Drochter had
been arrested he secured from the
latter the address of his spouse and
commenced correspondence that
resulted in Mrs. Staples agreeing
to return to live with him. Staples
left for Chicago several days ago
and brought Mrs. Staples and the
baby home with him.
As soon as the train pulled into
the station Staples engaged a livery
team and the couple were driven to
their home in New Avon township.

WHALE FISHING REVIVAL
Incidents Connected With the
Newfoundland Industry.
STEAMERS USED INSTEAD OF SHIPS
"strikes" Are Made with Bombs
Fired From Guns mt the Bow.
Thrilling Experiences With Mon
ster Fishes Not vitality Injured.
Catch of 1903 "a Record Breaker.

In an article which presents all the
tales of voyage and adventure in whal-
ing ships the Toronto Globe notes the
revival of the whaling industry by the
people of Newfoundland.
Instead of two and three year voy
ages in which ships boats used in
capturing the giants of the deep, the
Newfoundland industry is prosecuted
in the immediate waters of the island
by the use of small but handy steamers
of about 100 tons burden, with speed
of about thirteen knots. The strike"
is made with II bomb fired from Il gun
at the bow of the steamer. A successful
shot results in almost immediate death,
and three, four and even five whales Il
day have been taken by single crews.
One steamer brought TO the shore five
whales each day for three days in sue
cession. and another one killed twenty
three in single week. That is the
purely commercial side of the industry,
and is quite as dull and prosaic as dig
ging potatoes.
But there is another side which is
full of thrill and excitement. Taken as
a sport, it bears about the same rela-
ton TO the most exciting salmon or
tarpon fishing that those sports bear to
the pursuit of the shore clam. One
day last March ninety-one foot bull
whale struck, but not vitality injured,
lowed the Puma around and across
| and up and down Placentia bay for
/ three days before killing shot could
be sent into his huge body. Reversed
| engines throughout the fight failed to
tire the monster. Again and again he
charged the little vessel, and ramming
was avoided only by the quickness of
the steamer. After seventy four hours
| of this there came the opportunity for
a killing shot.
The Humber had a twenty-eight
| hour struggle with another off Cape
| Spear The Cabot had a nineteen hour
| fight with an eighty eight footer. Six
| to twelve hour runs with danger in
every minute of them are frequent
| When killed, the whales are taken to
shore stations where the oil is tried
out, the whalebone, now worth about
$4,000 a ton, is extracted, and the
refuse ground up for fertilizer.
Four steamers are now at work in
the coastal waters of the island Theil
catches for last year were: Puma, 260
Humber, 215; Cabot, oil; Viking, 1T
total of 1853, record breaker in the
history of whale fishing

One reason given for the excessive
reliance on manual labor in Japan is
he absence of grass in the country.
All hay has to be imported, and natu-
rally horse keep is very expensive I'm
der the old conditions Of Japan's exist

natter of small Importance. But with
he necessity of maintaining a huge
army on European principles the cir

pack. Cavalry and mounted infantry
cannot be dispensed with, and so the
Japanese have provided them only with
extreme difficulty.

MADE HIS WIFE'S GOWNS.
Creation of Blue Dimity Designed
nv "A Pennsylvania Preacher.

by IA PennsyIyania Preacher.
The Rev. Francis Dowlin, pastor of
tie Norwood. Pal Methodist Episco-
pal church, who has recently estab-
lished quite a reputation as a dress
maker, is greatly praised by his wife
and parishioners, says the Philadel-
phia Evening Bulletin.
On recent Sunday Mrs. Dowlin APP
paarcd at the church services radiant
in blue dimity gown that had been
designed by her husband. The creation
excited widespread admiration on all
sides.
Mrs. Dowlin, in an interview, said:
MY husband is certainly handy man.
He is good dressmaker as well as
preacher and seems to like the former
occupation because it is a nice diver
sion from his pastoral work. No, this
is not his first attempt at dressmak-
ing. Last winter he made me Il dress
and it was the prettiest one | had too,
viii he make me others? | am sure
he will"
Mr.. Dowln was at work preparing a
sermon. but was glad TO know that
people were taking such an interest In
him. When asked how he became so
successful as a dressmaker. he said:
My mother used to be dressmaker,
and | obtained my ideas and knowl-
edge from her. Young preachers, like
young doctors and young lawyers, need
To n.,nnrtiyn in and | find
this an excellent way. | do not in
| tend to do dressmaking as a business,
however. | would not make dresses
even for the women in my church.
| This much discussed dress Of pale
blue dimity is, in the eyes of the par
ish Il dream. There are white figures
| in the cloth and white linen yoke is
| inserted ut the shoulders, and serves
to give the dress, as well as the wearer,
a stunning appearance. The dress is
Il labyrinth of tucks and frills, all of
which Mr.. Dowlin made with the sew
ing machine-"a marvellous feat'-as
expressed by neighbor.
Mrs. Dowlin is IA jolly little woman
and was so overjoyed at her husbands
work that she told her neighbors on
Saturday that she would make her first
appearance in the dress on Sunday
morning Naturally the news spread
and on Sunday, as the young minister
and his wife entered the church, she
received all of the attention for the
first time. Sidelong glances were east
in her direction during the services
and aTterward the pastor and his wife
held veritable reception. Many were
the congratulations received by the
little pastor as his work excited the
admiration of all.

JAPANESE PHARMACY.
Druggists of Two Classes and Dried
Animals Used as Medicinal Agents,


Animals Used as Medicinal Agents.
Japanese doctors and druggists are
said by a correspondent of the Chemist
and Druggist to have reached higher
standard than the world has given
them credit for.
Japanese druggists are of two classes,
the one certiticated and qualified to
compound medicines, the other dealing
in drugs and sundries. The native doc
tors, as usual thing, dispense their
own medicines, though few write pre-
scriptions only, these latter for the
most part having studied in Germany
and holding a university degree. The
metric system is used for both weights
and measures. There Is considera BILE
popular demand for household rem
edies, and many of these correspond eX-
actly with those which have here long
since fallen into disuse Thus snakes,
lizards, frogs, crabs and other animals
are kept in a dried condition in the ma
tive drug stores, and enjoy more or
less repute as medicinal agents.
Face paints and powders and various
dcntifrlces are much in vogue, and
paSters to relieve headache and neu-
ralgia are largely employed. Massage
is used in rheumatism and in nervous
affections, and is to large extent in
the hands of the blind. The manufac-
ture of mineral waters is carefully su-
perVSed by the authorities. and fines
are inflicted in any case where the Of
fetal standard of purity is departed
