CANADA TO ACQUIRE

There In a Growing Belief In the II.
land That Commercial Union
with Canada Would BE
Desirable.

Report says Canada, dissatisfied
with the recent decision in regard to
Alaska, has bethought ner that it may
be worth her while to add to her pos
sessions the Independent colony of
Newfoundland. Well, let us see what
she would get.
An editorial in the Canadian Maya
zine remarks that it is difficult to get
people to believe in Newfoundland,
they holding that if there had been
any good in her she would have made
stir ere this. But great deal of the
fault lies, so says the editorial writer
from whom we are quoting, with the
fact that certain great commercial in
terests have been keeping Newfound-
tand fishing station and nothing
else, and that the life of fishing conn
munity is only an alienation of gaunt
famine and profitless plenty What
Newfoundland needs is farmers, agri-
cultural settlers, who will not center
their attention on her shores, but will
engage in the development of her in
ternal resources.

THE OLD CIRCUS MANS TALE.
Great Sensation Created by the Clan
When Travelling by

THE great giant never made greater
sensation" said the old circus man, in
the New York Sun, than he invariably
did when seen on the upper deck of

when We shipped from one town to
another we commonly moved by the
road; but sometimes when we were 60
ing to stop at two towns along river
and the distance between the two towns
was great, and the old man could make
profitable decker with the steam boat
people, why, then we'd make the skip
by boat And moving in this way the
giant did tremendously advertise the
show.
You see, we couldn't have him crawl
aboard boat by the gangway, between
decks, and curl himself up there some
where, below; we had to carry him
| where he could be seen by all.
HE would step up from the wharf to
| the steamboats, upper deck, and stay
| right there straight through the trip, in
| full view from the rivers banks on
either side, man as tall as the steam
boats chimneys. And seen walking or
standing there as the boat came along
or sitting there, maybe, in great arm
chair that we never failed to carry along
for him, he made sight that verybody
along the river came out to see and
looked at with wonder
| "And when we had come to where we
were to land, where they could see the

pie there looked at him in awe.

COLD WEATHER HINTS.
simple Remedies for Rough Skint
Colds and Various Kindred
Ailments.

During cold weather, and, indeed, at
any season, one should never wash the
face with soap and water just before
going out. If the face is really soiled.
advises the Washington Star, rub it
all over thoroughly with cold cream,
and then remove the cream with a soft
cloth. Keep a jar of the best cold
cream at hand all the year around. At
the first appearance of cold sore. ap-
ply cold cream, renewing the application
from time to time till the cold sore dis
appears.
A bottle of crude vaseline-that is.
he plain, unscented kind-will be
ound eficacious when the children
have a severe cold. Internal doses OF
the vaseline, taken with sugar. will
often prevent the development of
case Of Group, and both vaseline and
glycerine. in teaspoonful doses, will
heal sore throat
Camphorated oil is useful for rub
bling the chest and neck in case of Sc
we're cold. A square of flannel, spread
with oil, should be worn over the
chest when the patient is recovering
from severe sore throat.
While ordinary sweet oil mixed with
turpentine is excellent for burns, it Is
well to keep a bottle of collodion at
hand. This seems to relieve the
small burns. which make child and
even an adult so very nervous, more
quickly tnan anything else. Relief is
the important thing for these small
ing over the skin which effectually
shuts out all air. Keep the collodion
in dark blue bottle, away from the
light, and well corked with q rubber
stopper.
No medicine closet should be with
out its jar of carbolated gauze for use
next to wounds, and it's roll of alb
sorbent cotton, which has uses too
numerous to mention. After applying
soothing oils to a severe burn, cover
with cotton to shut out the air.
A bit of absorbent cotton is used in
stead Of a powder puff for baby, since
it can be discarded after using, and
fresh bunch used each time. Wrap
a small piece around the point Of an
orange wood stick and dip it into the
bleach when manicuring the nails. 1t
is easier to reach under the cuticie
with the cotton, and is not so apt to
bruise the nail, causing the white
spots to appear that disfigure the nail.
When the eyes are tired, saturate
bits of absorbent cotton with witch hazel
and lay them over the closed lids. Lie
down for half an hour, and the eyes
will be rested and strengthened and
noticeably brighter.
If any poisons are kept on hand.
they should be turned into dark bIue
bottles and labeled plainly, with poi
son" written in large letters at the
top. Keep all poisons at one end on
the topmost shelf, and then keep the
closet locked, SO that no MEMBER OF
the family can use any of the con-
tents without the knowledge of the
hOuSe-mOther.

as the dogs begin chasing the peccaries,

and is much sought after by the Brazil

The big porkers of the American

diminutive cousin in Brazil by the
name of peccary, that is good eating
and exciting to hunt. Although not
found on the open plains, or campos.
these animals occur plentifully in all
the wooded districts of Brazil. In the
more populous regions, where cultiva-
ton is in progress, they roam about In
small droves or punches from four to
seven. But in the wild districts, where
the forest is virgin, large herds OF SO
or more individuals are commonly met
With. The food of the cateto-as the
common peccary is called through the
state of San Paulo-consists for the
most part of roots, berries, worms, and
insects. These it grubs out of the
ground with its snout, after the man.
ner of pigs the world over. The droves
have no settled runs, but wander about
wherever fancy dictates, remaining in
district just so long as food is plentiful.
The catetos often do very serious DAM
age to cultivation, for when they dis
are sure to destroy large quantities OF
the crop. Moreover, If their incursions
are not summarily dealt with, they will
remain in the neighborhood until the
entire plantation is destroyed. Thus it
happens that peccary hunting Is a very
necessary, as we'll as very popular
sport among the Brazilian farmers.
The common peccary is by no means
q large animal. It seldom weighs more
than from 35 to 40 pounds, although
there is another species, occasionally
met with, which reaches twice that size.
Peccaries lack, too, the sharp out-grow-
ing tusks which make the Old World
bears such formidable opponents. Yet
piggy peccary" is one of the "gamest"
creatures imaginable Given fair chance
he will make a hard fight gainst any
number of odds. Both the panther and
the jaguar, the 'toncas" of the native dia-
lect, are very fond of peccary meat. They
will follow herd for weeks and months
together, on the chance OF picking up
straggler now and then. But the pee
carries are such fierce fighters that the
big cats are afraid to attack them In
the open, or when two or more are to-
gether.
From these facts it will be seen that
peccary hunting is anything but tame
sport. The cateto is one of the very few
animals that will face a dog without
flinching, and a peccary hunt is usually
both dangerous and fatiguing. About ten
or IL dogs are set upon the trail of a
drove, the huntsmen following, as best
they may, on foot. When the dogs come
up with the peccaries, the little ami
mails turn to bay in a closely packed,
squealing crowd. Often the veteran
boars Of the herd rush out upon their
canine enemies, ard it is seldom that
hunt passes without one or more dogs
being killed or badly injured. Careless
and inexperienced huntsmen are also liza
BILE to be badly mauled, for the peccaries
seem incapable of fear, and rush madly
at any moving object, be it dog or man.
