Keeping Cool.

people cool insead of hot. Just as we
heat our houses in the States in winter
with coal stoves. SO the wanderer who
has set up housekeeping in the Philip
pines cools his house with cold stove.
These cold stoves are made to look
something like an ordinary stove, and
being fed with ammonia and chemicals
give out radiations of cold waves in
stead Of heat. One can imagine fam

SPORTS IN NORTHWEST.

Large and Small Game Found I'm
Abundance in British Columbia.
If Nimrod came to British Columbia
he would experience another heyday.
The sports of the forest and stream are
triumphant here. Moose, elk, caribou,
mountain goats and sheep, bears-griz-
ely, brown and black-mountain lions,
Or cougars, and deer of several kinds
range in sufficient numbers for sport
almost anywhere, and in ample guam
titles for ruthless slaughter in many
places, SO that Nimrod, whether pot
hunter or sportsman as the modern
tines are drawn, would surely find sat
isfying excitement and trophies worthy
Of his fame and skill, says Field and
Stream. Small game, too, spreads
throughout the country, and the biggest
Gags are easily filed in q few hours

father OF angling, would find an abund-

strawberry Planting.

II you do not have a strawberry bed

These pot-grown plants are runners
which were rooted in pots early in the

You could not use at this season
plants which had not been pot-grown

could not furnish the plant with the
amount of water which 1t would de
mand. That kind of plant, known as
layer plants" may be set out in Sep
tember, but they would not give you
any fruit next spring under ordinary
cultivation, while pot-grown plants set

for her. The druggists manner was so

with heart disease generally lives to 0
good old age. The very care that a suf

self or herself is calculated to lengthen
his years indefinitely. You see man
with a weak heart naturally is careful

excuses, never overdoes anything, lives
in moderation and thus keeps his vital

the use of worrying.
The druggists cheerfulness was in
fictitious, the genial interest of his talk
made depression appear foolish, and
the girl soon began to look more hope
full and even smile. After the druggist
had gayly chatted with her a while she
rose and walked out of the store with
firm step.
