Strawberries and rheumatism.

1t is frequently remarked by persons
of rheumatic and equity tendencies
that those unpleasant twinges of the
muscles and joints do not long survive
tie opening Of the strawberry season.
1t is a somewhat curious coincidence
that in the strawberry the presence OF
salicylic acid, which is a specific in
acute rheumatism, has been definitely
established. AS a matter Of fact sail
cylic acid would appear to be a normal
constituent of most fruits. At any
rate, this acid has been found not only
in the strawberry but in grapes, ap.
Piles, plums, oranges and cherries, al
though the amount is probably less
than one milligramme QG4th of a
grain) per kilogramme two pounds) OF
fruit.
1t is hardly possible, therefore, that
the strawberry should have any spe-
cifc medicinal effect attributable to the
salicylic acid present. AS is well
known, most fruits possess anti-scor-
butte properties and contain salts
which readily become converted into
%carbonates in the system, thus tending
to maintain an alkaline condition n
preventing the formation of acid de-
posita.-Atlanta Journal.

THE ELK.
Belief That the Deer is Fas. Becoming
Extinct Not True.

E2tluCl WI 1tuS'
Deer signs are about as numerous as
usual. The talk about the deer starry

certainly not true in this section. 10
day / had a talk with our courteous
and efficient game protector for'Hamil-
ton County. Mr.. Robert o. Nichols, OF
Indian Lake, and he told me that he
travelled his territory last winter on
snowshoes a great deal, and later,
when the snow crust would bear up
the deer, he travelled on that. He saw
but very few dead deer-fve to seven
being the largest number in a long dis
while in one day he saw 13S
live deer. His judgment is that game
wintered we'll as a rule. However. he
said he could not speak from personal
knowledge of the Moose River regioA,
nor of the country around Long Lake
west. From both these sections came
reports of many deer dead from star
walton. If these be true, they merely
indicate a greater abundance Of deer
in those parts.
The elk seem to be thriving here
abouts. Recently a band Of seven were
seen in a cow pasture, feeding among
the cattle. Some of the residents have
q mistaken notion that the elk are
driving out the deer. This cannot be,
for the elk are too newly introduced
and are as yet too few in numbers to
drive out the deer, either by fighting
OF consuming their food. But anoth-
er cause has undoubtedly operated
against the deer. This place is prac-
tically surrounded by lumber camps,
most of which are now in operation
their third season. Leaving out of ac-
count whatever dec1 are cate in these
camps, tie tendency is Cor the deer to
retire to less disturbed portions of the
forest. while the elk, introduced from
semi-domesticated herds On private
preserves, arc less shy Of nan. This,
/ think, explains for this section the
less than usual observance CT deer
where that condition exists.
Present indications are that the sea-
son will be lighter than usual for the

Here are three historical cases OF
murderers brought TO the gallows
through dreams. The Rev. William
Smithies, curate of st. Giles Cripple
gate, wrote a curiously matter-of-fact
account of the appearance in a dream
of a murdered parishioner, one Stock
den, a Grub street victualler, to a
Mrs. Greenwood, showing her like
nesses of his murderers and giving
her the address in Thames street of
their home. on this evidence alone
they were arrested. and upon confess
sion of the crime. hanged.
Then there is the Red Barn case,
where the stepmother of Maria Martin
saw in a dream her body buried in the
barn, and its discovery there led to the
arrest, trial and conviction of Corder,
who sixteen months before had first Sc
duced and then murdered the girl dis
posing of the corpse as the dream had
indicated.
Lastly, there is the case which both
Frazer's Magazine and the Quarterly
Review took note of some years later
that of the conviction of Hugh Mac
leod for the murder of the peddler,
Murdoch Grant, chiefly through the ev-
idence Of Kenneth Fraser, who, hav-
ing been told in a dream where the
murdered peddler's pack was lying, led
the police to the precise spot.
