AT NoRrHwEsTERN HOSPITAL.

Mrs. VIM. Miller of Stanchfeld Lake
was taken to the Northwestern hos
pital on Monday suffering from a
strangulated hernia and her condition
was extremely critical. An operation
was performed with small hope of
saving her life, but this offered the
only chance as the condition from
which she suffered had come on three
days before medical aid was sum-
moned. DR.. Cooney, upon perform
ing the operation, discovered that the
intestine in the hernia was in gan
creme and that recovery was very un-
likely. At the time of going to press
the death of the patient is hourly ex-

Joe Craig returned on Saturday
from trip to the Thunder creek mines
IN Washington. He brought back with
him specimens of ore which are said
to contain lead, copper and gold. Joe
says that the waters of Thunder creek
make so much noise that every trout
IN the stream is deaf and that the lime
which washes down from the mines
renders them blind. "All you have
to do" says he, "when your appetite
calls for mountain trout is to dip them
from the creek with net. They are
tat and splendidly favored.' How,
under such heavy handicap, the trout
are enabled to secure sufficient food to
keep them in this prime condition
Joe was unable to explain. But
everybody knows Joe Craig!

lived in the Celestial Kingdom and got
some valuable lessons from our almond
eyed cousins. On first class orange
plantation in China, when harvest time
comes, bamboo vessels filled with wa
ter are held under the orange trees,
and as the fruit falls from the branch
it goes into the water and gets good
bath. An orange not treated this way
loses its oil from having been sudden
ly cut off, and it soon begins to grow
brown and shrivel. The Chinese coolies
brush the oranges to open the pores Of
the skin and let the air in. This gets
the dust all out and helps to preserve
them. California people learned the
trick from the Monaghan farmers
there."-New York Press.
