ferent from any expression used during the
day they rest the facial muscles more than
3nything else.
AS all tension Is nervous waste, so the
strained and set expression which we see
about US on so many faces typify a waste
and a the same time the constant loss of
beauty. A face cannot be attractive unless
this expression typifies some lovable or
amiable quality. An expression which
comes from the soul can only make itself
outwardly visible when the channels. that
is to say, when the muscles and nerves are
relaxed and submit it's control.

How to Care for eeraniums.
the Outing Magazine.

From the Outing Magazine.
II you have geraniums-or any other
plant, for that matter-that you intend to
make use OF in the window garden next
winter do not allow them to bloom during
summer. Nip off every bud as soon as seen.
Throw the strength OF the plant into the
development of branches These should
be shortened from time to time and made
to produce side branches. In this way you
get bushy, compact plant with score
of blossoming points where there would be
but few IL you allowed the plant to train
itself.

A FISHERMAN'S PARADISE
IN. THE WILDS OF CANADA

fret came over him about the middle OF
the May month. and In company with
railway man and an artist. no less ardent
anglers than himself, left Ottawa for the
promised land. 1t was q glorious day. the
temperature summerlike, and after fifty or
sixty miles of tourneying westward, set
Elements were mostly left behind, and we
reached the region OF the hiackened tim
Der and the racing stream. The call OF
the red gods grew stronger, and our faces
were glued to the windows as we saw the
Madawaska. with Its tawny water. It's log
jams and Its bars OF sun-warmed shingle.
We knew IL there were not trout in those
pools there ought to be. and fancied our
selves standing on one of those rocks and
casting the flies over the ripping surface.
As evening approached we left the train at
Cache lake, in the heart of Algonquin Park,
and found there a comfortable resting place
in the building erected for the park rangers.
but used for visitors during the summer.
There is no settlement, with the exception
of the home of the superintendent, the
range house and a few shacks. with a cot
tage or two across the lake. The station Is
called Algonquin Park, and II is a good
point of departure, visitors must come
there to comply with a few formalities be-
fore starting out. small fee Is charged,
but 1t is not irksome, and one was ever
heard to complain of 1t.

We were concerned mostly with tie TAX
ing of photographs, with little fishing on
the side. and though 1t was early in the
season, we satisfied ourselves in both direc-
tons.
tramp OF couple of miles through the
woods in the early morning brought us to
Cranberry lake, a lovely little sheet of
water. On the way thither we scared up
several deer and not a few cartridges,
which seemed somewhat tanner than usual.
Everywhere could be seen traces of beaver,
in the shape of newly-peeled drift wood on
the lake, fresh-cut trees and numerous
dams. The evergreens clothed the shores to
the waters edge, and rarely beautiful was
the foliage of the deciduous trees on the

buds about to burst forth lightened with
touch OF yellow-green here and there.
It is not every fisherman who will ac-
knowledge poor luck. but truth compels the
admission that our first day was not the
brilliant success We anticipated From the
time we left Ottawa our artist had buoyed
US up with hope. and pictured the lowell
ness of Cranberry lake, which he assured
us was chock-full OF fish waiting to be
caught Possibly he was stronger on art
than fish lore. for while the loneliness was
there all right, the trout declined, the dam
ties We offered them in the shape of artih-
cial nles, m!rnows, oid-fashioned fish
worms. and spoons and phantoms in In
finite variety, and our string was disap-
pointingly small as we gave IL up. for

The Madawaska hidden river flows
out of Cache lake. and for mile or more
below the outlet the shores are marshy

look for trout. Timber slides have been
thrown across the stream in places, how
ever, and below them are rapid stretches,
where trout are plenty. and 1t took little
time to satisfy the sreediest of us. Just
above an iron bridge there is quite widen
ing OF the stream, and lively pitch, with
deep water below. A large spruce tree has
fallen from the north bank and ripping
down to it is the black water. An Ideal
spot for trout II looked. and II was. A
cast Of the flies. the old reliable coch-y-

dropper, brought a flash OF black and gold

or two over couple of pounds. but It was

was room a-plenty, and II took a prelimln-
airy rush of twenty-five or thirty yards to
satisfy the captive that the brown bug he
had jumped at had string to II. Leaping

New Orleans, La.-Several Of the

graded according to the reputed wealth
of the prospective victims.
Among those who have been singled

The Allison amendment is only

HEAVY LOSSES IN SECURITIES
Fully 5000, 900, 900 Represents the
Depreciation.


New York. Probably three times the
losses sustained in the San Francisco
disaster by the inhabitants of that city
and others owning property there we're
sustained in the remarkable break in
securities listed on the New York Stock
Exchange following the news OF the
earthquake and conhagration.
1t is estimated that fully 5000, 900, 900
would represent the extent of the de-
probation following the disaster In
values Of stocks and bonds traded in on
the New York Stock Exchange and
other listed securities in Boston, Chi
cago and Philadelphia The deprecia-
tion in twenty-four active stocks from
the prices of April II, the day before
the disaster, to the low point, reached
on May 2, amounted to the huge total
Of $457 500, ,l76. These stocks are the
most active on the New York Stock Ex-
change and upon these issues fell the
brunt OF the enforced selling and
changed sentiment as result of the dis
Aster.
On the exchange, however, are scores
Of other securities which were not in
cluded in the estimate. Each of these
suffered substantial declines in their
market value. This enormous decline
proved somewhat conclusively that there
were other agencies atwork in addition
to the losses to capital sustained through
the San Francisco disaster, which pro-
duced the sensational decline in the
stock marriott
