Effects of Prosperity.

In the six years of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1908,
average prices of breadstuffs advanced
Is per cent, meats 23.1 per cent, dairy
and garden products SOL per cent, and
clothing PAL. All these were products
of the farmer and stockman who pro-
fitted more than any other class of the
community by these advances. The
miner benefited 42.1 per cent, by that
advance in the average price of metals.
The only decrease in the average price
of commodities in that period was in
railway freight rates, which decreased
from 1893 per ton-mile in 1897 to 1853
in 1903, a loss of A per cent. The
report, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission shows that the average
increase in the pay of railroad en-
ployes in that period was a trifle
above SIS per cent.

OPEN AIR TREATMENT.
Reasons For It's Good Results In
Cases of Consumption,

Reasons For It's Good Results I'm
Cases of Consumption,
The advantages of the open air treat
ment for consumptives may be thus
briefly summarized: The patient ex-
posed continuously to fresh air gains in
appetite, assimilates his food better,
sleeps more soundly and awakens more
refreshed. Free exposure to air is the
best antipyretic. Sweating at night,
formerly so common a symptom, usual
ly ceases. Colds are practically un-
known among patients leading an open
air life. Secondary infection, on ac-
count of the comparative freedom of
the air from micro organisms, is much
less likely to occur Tolerance of out
side air is very quickly established, and
no one who has tried the open air life
will willingly go back to the former
conditions Of stuffiness. l have never
seen any one made worse by exposure
to fresh air Even during thick Lon
don fog patients get on better lying in
bed on balcony or in rooms with win
dows wide open and o good fire burn
ing than when attempts are made to
shut out the fog by keeping the win
dows shut.-Dr II. w. G.. Mackenzie

A Strange Case.

Mrs. Jane Stanford, aged so years,
and widow of ex-senator and ex-Gover-
nor Leland Stanford of California, died
at hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii islands,
from poisoning by strychnine, which
had been mixed in the bottle with the
harmless medicine called bicarbonate
of soda, and which Mrs Stanford was in
habit of taking before retiring. The
two powders or substances resem BILE
each other in appearance and the mix
ing or substitution is said to have been
done in San Francisco, as the bottle
used that night had not been opened
from the time she left that place, a
month before.
An attempt was made to poison Mrs.
Stanford at her home in San Francico
few weeks ago, and for that reason
she left home, and went to the islands
where she seems to have had good health
and to have been enjoying herself; and
as she had already given away the
greater part of the large fortune left
her, o ne wonders what the motive could
have been. But Mrs Stanford seems
to have been followed by some inn
placable enemy. determiSd that she
should not die a natural dNth.

Drapery of the Men.
Passing us occasionally, going to Je-

Jars of leben that showed their thick,
creamy throats as they were held up
to us, were small companies of women
in single ile. As one blue procession
went by the leader called TO US: why
should you ride and we walk! Why is
your lot better than ours" Given the
opportunity for leisurely argument, we
could not by any philosophy have made
satisfactory answer. We could only
admit the fact as they saw it and rec
ognize the universal world plant of
discomfort.
They carry themselves, these wom-
en-, like figures on an antique frieze. As
they stride along, holding in sure bal
ance on their heads their jars and bas-
kets of homely produce, they tread the
stony paths with the grace and large
ness Of action that we of the occident
have grown to regard as belonging only
to the age Of Praxiteles.
The men are also admirable in the
simplicity of their gestures, the big
lines of their attitudes, the swing of
their draperies. l saw a youth fling his
mantle over his shoulder and fold 1t
about him exactly in the manner of the

The Birth of st. Patrick.

On the eighth day of March it was,
some people say
That st. Patrick at midnight he first
saw the day,
While others declare twas the ninth he
was born,
And twas all mistake between mid
night and morn;
For mistakes will occur in hurry and
shock.
And some blamed the baby and some
blamed the clock;
Till with all their cross questions, sure
no one could know
If the child was too fast or the clock
was too slow.
Now the first faction fight in old Ire
land. they say.
Was all on account of st. Patrick s
birthday:
Some fought for the 9Th. for the 9th
more would die,
And who would't see right, sure they
blackened his eye.
At last both the factions so positive
grew
That each keep a birthday, SO Pat then
had two
Till Father Mulcahy, who showed them
their sins,
Said no one could have two birthdays
but twins.
Says he, boys don't be fighting for or
for 8,
Don't be always dividing but some
times combine,
Combine s with Q and II is the
mark,
So let that be his birthday. Amen, said
the clark.
If he wasn't twin sure our history
will show
That at least he's worth any two Saints
that we know;
Then they all got blind drunk, which
completed their bliss,
And we keep up the practice from that
that day to this.
