Mouse Won Ais Ereednm.

During the digging of holes for
telegraph poles in New York not long
ago, the workmen noticed a mouse
which had fallen into one of the cavi-
ties. For hours the tiny prisoner
raced frantically around tne enclos-
ure, Then he seemed to get over his
mysteries and set his wits to work.
Soon he began Systematically to dig a
spiral groove. round and round the
lnner surface of the hole, which was
several feet deep. Night and day the
busy little captive worked away dig
glng little pockets here and there as
MS improvised staircase got farther
from the ground, so that he might
rest from his hard labors. The work
men kept him supplied with food, and
after the third day the indefatigable
little creature reached the top, and
enthusiastic cheering welcomed his

organization was ever more success
full in dealing with the Indians. The
red men were not allowed free access
to the forts. but were always treated
with civility and sometimes with
hospitality. A lookout had to be
maintained for bad Indians, and
sometimes serious trouble could not
be averted.
One account tells how some early
traders came to grief. AS a ship
loaded with provisions came to an
Choir in a harbor it was boarded by
Indians and every member of the ex-
petition killed put one. The one
member of the crew who succeeded
in %secreting himself managed to
touch off the powder magazine while
the Indians were pillaging the cargo.

way.
Victoria was the creation of the
Hudson Bay Company. 1t was the
outcome of a political necessity.
When the Oregon boundary question
became so acute and the thrush of
American pioneers to the valleys of
the Columbia and its tributaries in
Washington and Oregon occurred, the
Hudson Bay people saw clearly that
they would have to remove farther
north if they were to remain under
the protection of the British flag.
Victoria owes her existence to this
move.
As a great commercial enterprise
the Hudson Bay Company had but
one rival who accomplished more.
and that was the East India Com
pany, which won India for the British
empire.
Victoria's more recent claim to at
tention arose from its being the great
port for sealers. When the unre-
stricted slaughter of the seals was

her honorable age. Her people hold
fast to their old traditions-and that's
English.
Victoria has every reason to be
proud of its association with the Hud-
sons Bay Company. The history Of
this old corporation reads like the
fanciful tale of some adroit story
teller. 1t was organized in 1870 un-
der a royal charter granted when
Charles II was king. 1t was dubbed
the Honorable Company of Mer-
chant Adventures of England" The
first sale of 5000 beaver skins took
place in a London coffee house, and
Dryden, the poet, was there to write
a verse about it.
The first Hudson bay traders went
so far from home that it took seven
years for those at the most remote
stations to get returns from their
h~ardships and reaped rich rewards.
The account of one expedition states
that after all their stock in trade was
disposed of, they added $40, 900 worth
of furs to their cargo by trading old
clothes, bits of iron and trifes that
otherwise would have been thrown
away.
That it took a strong man to quail
ify for service with the Hudson Bay
is shown by the fact that when car
rying was necessary, each man was
expected to move eight or ten pack
ages a mile every day, carrying two
pieces GIGS pounds) for a quarter of
a mile without resting. Some of the
men performed wonderful feats of
strength and endurance while moving
the goods. The record was estab-
lished when n husky burden bear
er carried six pieces (504 pounds)
one mile without resting.
The old records give some inter
esting accounts of how the great bust
ness was conducted. The chief fac
tor was responsible for the good CON
duct of all. He was the exalted
functionary and lord paramount. His
word was final and his will supreme.

EASY TO KEEP WELL
IF YOU KNOW YOURSELF.


Keeping well is mechanical. Eat
ing, working. sleeping. temperate en-
joyments and becoming animated over
some useful subject cover the field.
1t is better to pay a doctor to tell
you how to keep well than to treat
o after you arc sick. But so few
do this the doctors hardly know what
to say when n tries the plan.
A suggestive fact is that a woman
with continually poor health win take
a sick house plant and bring it up into
a 1ourishing state, and a man who
never sees a well day will take a sick
horse and ure him. This illustrates
he power of special knowledge ap-
Piled. But there are people with spe
sial tendencies and inherited diseases,
who break all rules of treatment and
preventive science, though these ex-
eeptions are so few that no one need
place himself in the list till he has
tried a modern course of systematic
exercise with proper diet and right
remedies.
1t took one doctor a long time to

He found hat potato and fruit or
coffee went all right together. You
must know yourself and then do as
well as you know.
A Chicago doctor tells me that a
cold salt water bath before breakfast
is q favorite with him. He thinks
more of soups than meats. Recently
radishes and lettuce gave him such
severe indigestion that it required
a milk diet for days to restore his
stomach. But for some people milk
is almost a poison, and for diet they
eat graham waters or dry toast.
Another doctor tells nre he can eat
anything but liver and does not pay
much attention TO himself except to
eat and sleep regularly. He has nat
ural force, physical harmony, latent
energy, and lives healthily automat-
ically. 1t is just as important to have
a little reserve strength as it is to
have emergency money.
