treat the disease and this is the rea-
son why so many physicians fail to
cur female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can copfide every
detail of their illness, and from
her great knowledge, obtained from

ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise women

Boundary Is Located.
ON the Seattle Post-Inteiiigeneer.


The last remaining undetermined portion
of the boundary line between Alaska and
British Columbia has been determined, and
there is no opening now left for any possi-
bility of future disputes. The settlement
of this last matter was of no very large
Importance. 1t involved merely one hum
dred miles along the summit of rugged
mountain range. in a country practically
inaccessible, covering the distance between
Kates Needle and Devils Thumb. 1t was
determined by locating the intervening
peaks by observations giving their latitude
and longitude and describing an. imaginary
line from the two principal peaks. inter-
secting the SUBMITS of the intervening
peaks. This will give line which some
what resembles the old-fashioned Virginia
rail fence, but it is sufficient for all prac-
tical purposes.
The whole region. 1t appears. is covered
by perpetual snow. It Is In the neighbor-
hood of the summit of one of the most pre-
cipitous mountain ranges on this continent;
1t Is remote, and inaccessible to any one
save q mountain goat or prospector, two
terms almost synonymous, and 1t Is not a
ance which country gets the better Of 1t
in the matter of territory, by having the
line drawn in this manner jumping from
peak to peak. instead Of attempting to
draw regular line and locate II by monu-
ments in place, task which 1t would take
some arduoas years to accomplish In such
q country. 1t does not appear that any
one, even in Alaska, Is liable to lose much
sleep over the question whether Devii's
Thumb or Kate's Needle would fall within
states. There are peaks and pinnacies OF
their kind In plenty and to spare ON either
side of the line The country fares the
worst which gets the most OF them.

IN PRAISE OF WATERcREss.
Was Made by Providence to Meet the
Present Need of Man.

From the London Spectator.
Flowing streams are natural forcing
houses, producing subaqueous vegeta-
ton for earlier than any other that ap-
pears on land. In the same way the fos-
terng element hurries on the growth Of
other plants, which, with their roots and
stems below it, are the first to push forth
leaves and branchlets above the water into
the influences of the cold spring air. Among
these is the watercress, the gathering OF
which is the first harvest of the year. The
watercress would seem to have been made
by Providence to meet the needs of the
time In the months of February and
March-when the health of all western
Europe was low and scurvy common; when
there were few fresh garden vegetables to
eat and no wild ones were in leaf; when the
church, probably with view to preserving
health, ordered a dish of fish or eggs, to
avoid the salted food-yet with a curious
want of sense insisted on the fish in places
where the only fish to be had was salted
fish-almost every little brook was produc-
ing the most valuable anti-scorbutic plant
in the world springing up uncultivated and
unbidden, beautiful to look upon, admirable
in flavor, and appearing not only as the
herald of spring. but as kind of medicinal
gift presented by nature and bearing its
own invitation tG eat 1t in the greennesS OF
It's leaves and the delicate aroma of its
stalks. And yet not even the monks seem
ever to have dreamed of cutivating 1t. They
dug innumerabe ponds for the fish; but
the idea Of supplanting them by cress beds
seems never to have occurred to them,
though the medicinal qualities of the plant
should have been well known to all and the
manner of its propagation was obvious
from a visit to the nearest brookSide.
The various creSSeS and among them the
watercress have played a part in making
navigation and discovery possible by their
wonderfully rapid growth and by their
concentrated medical virtue in counteract-
ing scurvy. Common garden cress seeds
have been carried In great quantity on arc
tic voyages and the cress has been grown
by laying the seed on blankets and pour
ing warm water over 1t several times a day.
1t seems probable that navigators of the
Pacific ocean, not only EMPLOYERS but also
pirates who used the distant Islands as
base often planted anti-scorbutic vegeta-
bles and especially crosses, on these lonely
spots In the same way that they dumped
tortoises and turtles, the result being that
these islets became 'physic gardens and
rendered possible the navigation of great
and distant tracts in the South Seas. One
species of watercress Is known as South
Sea cress' and has always been sought by
ships crews as an antidote for scurvy. just
as an extract of our European watercress,
mixed with the juice of scurvy grass and of
Seville oranges, Is used to make the popular
anti-scrobutlc medicine known as spring
juiceS."

A HUMAN OWL,
Sad Plight Of One of the Famous VOL
cott Family.

From the New York SUM-
Amid the ashes and dirt of the untidy
Kitchen of dark One-story house on the
outskirts of Cheshire Mass, lives Henry
Wolcott. one of the last of the distin-
suished family of that name. His life Is
almost that OF recluse but strange
feature OF his existence Is that he is un-
able to distinguish nearby objects in day
light, though after darkness falls he can
see plainly, and on this account he turns
night into day and is rarely seen outside
his hut after sunrise
Because of this affiiction Wolcott has
been nicknamed the human OWL by the
people of Cheshire They are now ac-
customed to having him prowl about the
woods and fields when they themselves
are abed. He shuns companionship, is
content to fish all night in the summer
in the nearby ponds for hornpouts and
eels and to spend the days in the dark
ened kitchen.
The house is mere shack. showing
signs of Nisuse. The buildings are falling
in ruins, every window is tightly screened
with papers and blankets and the small
kitchen where Wolcott sits all day smok-
ing his black pipe is dark. He was af-
f1icted by a strange disease of the eye
about q dozen years ago, and sun rays are
so painful to his optic nerves that at
times he is completely blind. AT night
his vision is excellent, and then he goes
fishing, gathers supplies or chops his
wood.
Wolcott is about ffty-seven now and an
object of charity. but he will receive aid
only from some of the older families of
Cheshire-people who were his friends
in his youth. newspaper man called on
the recluse one day this week.
I'm Hen Wolcott," said he. They call
me the night owl In the village, but
there's no truth in the story that / go
about at night frightening people. My
eyes are bad, and 1 can't see well in the
sun, so when 1 go into the village l usu-
ally go at night when / don't have to
shade my eyes to see the way
Il hear there is story that l wept so
much when my wife died that 1 lost my
day sight, but that isn't so. 1 guess it's
a hereditary complaint. Up to the time I
was forty had as good sight as any one.
1 don't live here by choice. I have no
other place to live; there's no one to care
for me- I'm the last of the Wolcotts."
The family history of the Wolcotts in
cludes several famous men. The founder
Of the family was Oliver Wolcott of Con-
necticut. When Aaron Burr killed Alex
ander Hamilton in the duel at Weehaw-
ken George Washington invited Oliver
Wolcott to become Secretary of the treas
ury Some of Oliver Wolcott's sons set
tied in Vermont and from this branch
the reeluse springs. Earlier in life he
was a pension attorney.
The Wolcott homestead Is one of the
finest in the town. 1t is now occupied by
a relative of the recluse.

To Bring Back Pocahontas' Body.
From the Baltimore Sun.


The London Standard comments rather
satirically the movement by the pro-
moters Of the jamestown exposition to
bring back to Virginia the body of Poca-
hontas. which has long rested at Grave
send. England. Some of her descendants"
observes the Standard, both in England
and in the United States. are still proud of
their descent from royal ancestress." Our
London contemporary undertakes to con-
trovert the traditional and poetical version
of the life of Pocahontas by citations from
the pages of an iconoclastic American
writer. At the same time 1t makes no OBJ
lection to the removal of the remains of
the Indian princess. But as a parting shot
the Standard adds: "If the original myth
is really believed in by the people of James
town we only hope they will do something
to answer the audacious skeptic who has
impugned it," The people of jamestown
know less perhaps, about this myth" than
the descendants of Pocahontas who live In
England, and are proud of their lineage
as the very large number Of Americans who
claim descent from the daughter of Pow
hatan. To them there is nothing mythical
about Pocahontas, and their faith is founded
upon satisfactory proofs. And If her body
is to be brought back to Virginia may It
not also be In order to give the remains of
Capt John Smith a resting place in the
Old Dominion?

Given Time to Produce Evidence,

Joseph Stewart, colored, was arraigned
in the Police Court before Judge Scott this
morning TO answer to a charge of larceny
of quantity of oats. The charges were
preferred by Humane Officer j. R. Rab-
bitt, who saw the transaction.
Stewart Is a driver for the Columbia
Transfer Company. When the teams are
started out in the morning, 1t Is stated,
each of the teamsters takes enough oats
for feeding his team dU- ring the day. Mr..
Rabbit saw the defendant take a quantity
Of feed from his wagon and deliver 1t TO
an ash man on his wagon, and saw them
pass money for the feed. Witnesses told
that the man had taken feed that morning.
The defense then asked for a continu-
ance until tomorrow, stating that 1t would
produce witnesses to show that the feed
he sold was not that which he took from
the barn in the morning. The case was
continued until tomorrow.
