cANApA's CHIEF MARKET.
Trade with England Decllning-
 Shfuuneufs fO IT q IuCransiur

Shipments to U. s. Increasing. United States Consul Workman, of Three Rivers, Can., says 1t Is not true that the destruction of the CanadiaD forests is due principally to the large demands for lumber from the United States.S The United States takes only about 25 per cent of her timber con sumption from Canada. The States consume yearly about 2,500,0O0 cords of pulp wood, of which the Adirondack forests alone furnish 4S0000 cords. From Canada the pulp wood exports for the year ended July 1, 1901, were 419,- 23S cords, valued at $1,TSS, ,049, and for the year ended July 1, 1905, the value reported was $2,G00,S14, the United States taking all the shipments. To this should be added another product of the forests, the ground wood pulp, which now supports thirty-eight mills, turning out 254 tons daily, of which, besides the home consumption, the cX- port in 1905 amounted in value to S3,- 339, ,15S, the United States taking of this export to the amount of $2,694,- 122.
 Some Canadians who are well in- formed on the question of lumber eX- ports express pessimistic views regard. ing the export trade in lumber from Canada to England. The indications are that in the immediate future ship nents of lumber to England will be small, in comparison with the record of the past. English dealers are now ordering their supplies largely from Sweden and Norway, where they can purchase more cheaply than in the Ca nadlan market. Canada's future mar ket, it is asserted, will be the United States. Buyers from this country have already made an invasion of the Do- minon to purchase large quantities of the Southern white pine, and the ;ln- usual increase in the demand has ad- vanced the price of that wood 100 per cent already. This change of condl- tions has led the Canadian lumbermen to realize that henceforward their mar. ket will be the United States, and that they will have no need to rely upon tine European market for the disposal of their produce.

TREEToP IS A MANS HOME.
Novel Means to Escape Hay Fever
 Followed by Hermit.

Warren Carrol, coal prospectpr who has been operating in the vicinity of the Chetcamp River, south of Grande Etang, Cape Breton, tells of meeting man in the barren lands who has been living in a tree for three summers be- cause he believes it will cure his hay fever.
 Carol says that the man, who claim ed that his name was Strong and that he came from St. John, N. B., had built himself comfortable cabin of one room in the branches of a giant hemlock and was, thoroughly enjoying life. The house was set about forty feet from the ground and was reached by several lad .ders which were spiked against the sides of the tree trunk.
 In the cabin was bed made of boughs, stove constructed out of sheet iron, three looking glasses, lamp, three rustic chairs and thirty-six cush- ions stuffed with balsam needles. The place was as neat as If kept by wom- an and was built so that there would be no waste space.
 Strong was rather reticent, but Car rol learned enough to convince him that the man was in his right mind and that he really believed the tree cure" was doing him good. He said he couldn't explain why the hay fever would not attack him as long as he lived in tree, but that 1t was a fact and he took ad- vantage of it. He lived mostly on fish and game, but he had some vegetables slowed away in hollow tree trunks near by.

MaJaji the Real "she."

It Is believed in South Africa that Dinizulu has been consulting the mys- terious Majaji to determine whether to begin Zulu war on the British.
 Majaji might be the original of Rider Haggard's "She." MT. Benson Knowles writes of her:
 "Let Majaji be mythical or histor- ical, she yields an Influence over the native mind comparable to none other. Her abode is in the fastnesses of the Northern Transvaal. She possesses the secret of perpetual life; she dis appears, but returns at will; her CO., operation is invaluable; to secure it is to secure success in any undertak- lng."-New York World.

When the Stars Fall.

Old Judy was a character well known In Lower Hentley, where persons of her race and complexion were rare. She was the last descendant of an old slave family owned, i'll the days when New England tolerated slavery, by one of the chief magnates of the place. She lived to be very old wonan-over q hundred, according to local belief, al though her exact age was not known. It was during the last year of her life that there occurred in August famous display of shooting stars. The specta- cle was a magnificent one, but Judy had no eye for its beauty.
 "Massy sakes! Massy sakes!" she muttered, trembling, gazing up with starting eyeballs at the streaked and shining heavens. "TwOn't be long dey'll miss a-hittin' round here, sho' it won't. An sposin' dey drap on us cold, dey'll 2 hit, harder'n halstuns; an s'posi'n' dey drap on Us hot, dey'll scorch wuss'n grease bilin' over; an s'pos'n' dey jes' drap round us an don't hit folks at all, who's gwine want 'em rollin' roun' underfoot, wid de light knocked out ob 'em, lak pebbles mindin' people ob de day ob judgment ebery time dey stubs der toes?"
 Explanations and consolation were of no avail. Judy would only shake her head and murmur in tones of awe, "Ah don't understand muffin bout 'stronO- my, but An knows it's sho' huff terri fyin' time wen de stars begins to fall !'

ENDORSED THE
BISHOPS BILL.
EpWorth League on Record :
Miss A. S. Meade Secretary
of Elizabeth District.

The sixteenth annual convention of
the Epworth League of the Elizabeth
District has been in session in st.
James M. E. church, Elizabeth, this
week.
Thursday night the liquor question
was touched on twice. The first time
was when the committee on resolu-
lions recommended that the members
of the Epworth League chapter of
this district express their apprecia-
ton of the wholesale features of the
bishops bill and pledge their support
to all advanced legislation in favor of
making the Sabbath a more universal
rest day, and to all measures aiming
to lessen the evils of intemperance
and to lessen the number of saloons
alloewd in the municipalities of the
state, or the number of hours they
are allowed to do business. The res
olution was adopted.
1t was again touched on in the
course of the Rev. Charles l.. Mead's
address on Incentive for Bible
Study" He dwelt but briefly on it,
saying that the question before the
state was whether the fourth COM
mandment should stand, or whether
the rumsellers should hold sway.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year. President, r.
G. Bancker, of Staten Island; vice
president, r. G. Candy, Staten ISL
and; recording secretary, Foster w.
Volk, Cherryville; corresponding sec
rotary, Anna S. Meade, Perth Amboy;

ence reported that Westfield had been

DOG "a DAYS
WITHOUT FOOD

SPOTSWOOD, Oct. 6.-After ex-
listing for twenty-four days without
food, a dog owned by Mr.. Dawson, OF
Spotswood, was discovered last We'd
nesday in the vacant mansion of Col.
onel j. S. Buckalew, at Jamesburg.
Although in a ~deplorable condition.
the dog is being cared for by Mrs,
David Kirkpatrick, and its recovery
is probable.
The Buckalew mansion has been
unoccupied for some time and adjoins
that of Mr.. Smith, visiting agent for
the State Home for Boys. 1t is sup-
posed that the dog entered the house
by way OF the cellar in which there
was an opening, and could not find its
way out again.
The mansion has for a long time
borne the reputation of being haunt-
ed. The Smith family, however, had
taken no heed of the matter until
the early part of last week, when n
T. cries we're heard coming from
within the abandoned mansion. Mr.
Smith made an inspection of the
house and grounds, but always on his
| approach the cries would cease.
For several nights the disturbance
continued and the Smiths began to
thing that the evil reputation of tia
house was not founded on fancy.
On Wednesday evening at twilight
the peculiar half human cries were
resumed with such effect that Mr..

| into the house. Terrifying bowls
echoe through the darkened halls.
| but Mr.. Smith made his way to the
! second story front room from which
! the sounds came, and there struck q
match. In the Pickering light he
caught sight of a huddled form in the
farthermost corner, and, upon APP
preaching it, found it to be a dog
wasted to the bone and unable to
stand, but still having strength to
whine forth its fear of approaching
death.
Mr.. Smith carried the starving ami
NAL to his home and the next day
gave it into the cart of a friend, who
is a trained nurse.
1t developed later that the dog was
owned by Mr.. Dawson, of sSpotswood,
and had disappeared from~is hOWe
early last month. From other our
ces it was learned that the imprison-
ment of the animal in the house had
been known for a long time by child
rem of the neighborhood, but no eff
fort had been made to release it.
The dog is now owned by Mrs. Da-
vid Kirkpatrick, and is recovering,
rapidly from the effects of its ink
untary fast. ~

SEEKING ~kIDNAPPERS
ON LONG ISLAND.

NEW YORK. Oct. 6:-Kidnappers
who attacked May Ladenburg, twelve
years old, daughter of Mrs. Adolf
Ladenburg, and heiress to 100000
600, but who were scared off after
they had the little girl in their grasp,
are being sought today by police and
civilians in the neighborhood of
Westbury, Long Island.
The child had accompanied her
mother and a party to the Piping
Rock Horse Show, at Locust Valley,
where Miss May won a silver cup Of
fered by Harry Payne Whitney to
riders of ponies who were twelve
stead of going home in an automo-
bile with the party, insisted on riding
her pony.
1t was dark when she reached the
Ladenburg estate, Oasis, on the
Hampstead Plains. In a dark clump
OF thick woods edging the estate a
rickety buggy containing two men
came rafting along the road. 1t was
pulled directly across the road, com
polling the girl to drive into a ditch
on the side.
The men jumped out, pulled the
girl off the saddle and picked her III
to throw her into the buggy. Her
creams were heard by Andre Rem
saing, her mothers gardener, in his
lodge not far away. When the gar
dener ran to her assistance the men
jumped into the buggy and started
off on a gallop in the direction of
Westbury.
When she revived and told her
story fifty men went in search of her
a%ssailants. They looked all over the
Hampstead plains without getting a
clue.
