The Invaluable Hairpin,

Anthropologists have never done
justice to the hairpin. billiards will
tell you that women aren't so inven-
tive as men, don't take out so many
patents. They don't have to. With
a hairpin a woman can pick lock,
pull cork, see if a joint of meat is
done, do up baby, regulate range,
tinker a sewing machine, stop a leak
in the roof. stir batter, whip cream,
reduce the pressure in the gas meter,
keep bills and receipts on file, tighten
windows. clean watch, unite a knot,
put up awnings, doctor an automobile
In short, she can do what she wants
to; she needs no other Instrument

TIGER HUNTING IN AFRICA.
Predatory Beast Killed by Blow OF
Rifle Butt.

"An exciting adventure with tiger
occurred at Sabi recently" says a
South African paper. THE beast
was seen going from L. Dangers
place, dragging calf toward dense
bush, which lay close by. Mr.. Ban
ger could not leave the store until
nearly sundown and by that time the
tiger had eaten nearly half the calf.
On coming up to him Mr.. Bangor fired
and managed to break the animals
left shoulder, but it was too dark to
follow. Next morning he set out with
a couple of dogs and few boys. AS
soon as the dogs bayed him the tiger
commenced growing, but he could
not be seen for the dense bush. All
of a sudden he dashed out, passed Mr..
Bangor and caught one of the boys,
whose flesh was very badly torn and
had to be sewed up by a doctor. Mr..
Bangor, being afraid of shooting the
boy, ran up to the tiger and broke his
neck with the gun. The animal meas
ured from nose to tail seven feet six
inches"

oRiIlN OF WORD BONFIRE.
Expression Most Probably Dates Back
to Druidic Days.


to Druidic Days.
Was bonfire" originally written
"bone-fire" and were "bone-fires" an
GENTLY so called from the burning OF
the martyrs? This is one theory of
the origin of the word. From ancient
times bonfires have formed striking
part of the celebration of st. Johns
eve, or Midsummer eve, June "a,
which was observed with similar rites
in every country in Europe. Fires
were kindled in the streets and mar.
ket places of the towns. The young
people leaped over the flames or
threw flowers and garlands into them
with merry shoutings and songs and
dances. A heather origin is belie+ ed
to be indicated by these acts. A writer
says: "On the whole it seems prob.
able that the druidic fires, round
which it was considered lucky to leap
and dance on the occasion of the srm.
mer solstice, were built up of con,ri.
buttons brought by every one who
wanted to secure his luck for the ccm.
ing year, and SO bonfire is reall, a

is advised by its lawyers that it can
sell a ticket calling for admission. and
the use of a particular seat, and yet
refuse the bearer from gaining en-
terance to the theatre in Question.
This question is to be fought out in
the courts. Mr.. Metcalfe will be
fighting the battle of the genera

GOLD GOING OUT.

In the last fiscal year we exported
gold to the value of t~hlrty-six mil
lion dollars beyond all our imports
of the precious metal, but in that
year we produced from the earth
eighty million Dollars worth of gold,
so that at the end of the year we
had over forty million dollars worth
more of gold than we had on the
opening day of the year.
In the present fiscal year the work
of the previous year will no doutt
be duplicated. Already we have
sent away SIS, 600, 600 Hlore than VT
have received. One etsrnier last
week took to Paris nine Hi mon dol
lars, all well insured.
There is nothing of moment ir the
current shipments. We are heavy
producers of gold. Colorado, South
Dakota and Alaska turn iii to Us
great amounts every year, and nat
! urally we stand ready to supply
those countries that need gold and
produce none. France is such a
country.
We may send away before June
80, forty, OR even fifty millions OF
gold, but this means nc more than
that some country wants gold which
we can more readily spare than our
bonds or stock. We are settling bills
with gold instead of securities. We
have become a forehanded nation,
and we have gold both to burn il
the arts and to ship to other coun'
tries. We are, in fact, one of the rich
countries of this world-perhaps the
| richest the world has ever known.
