A STORY OF THE WEST.

On one Of my many trips along the
west coast of Vancouver Island, where T
used to prospect for mineral with a
partner named Ferguson, best known as
'Fergie," we were in ;Euculet Iplet one
day when we saw two Indians approach
ing in canoe. They landed and came
to our tent. After asking our business
there they wanted to know if we had
any medicine with us, and "Fergie," who
was always ready to help the sick. want
ed to know the nature of the illness.
They told us AMI old Indian in their
camp had an liberated tooth and his
jaw was swollen terribly. We had no
no medicine, but "Fergie" suggested a
mustard plaster. We had lots Of mus.
tard so gave the Indians enough for two
plasters and told. them how to mix it
and put it on. The Indians saying "yes''
to everything, "Fergie." of course,
thought they understood It all and they
went away quite pleased.
When they arrived at their camp and
told the old Indian of their success be
at once suggested mixing the whole into
one plaster to make it do better work, as
the pain was so great. But they mis-
understood directions and loft it on all
night. The next morning they had to
lance the mans jaw. AS We went by
next morning they called us IN and told
what had happened and asked us to &c
to the Indian agent for some kind Of
powder to ease the old mans pam. The
agent was not at home and we had tc
return without the medicine. 1 felt We
ought to do something to satisfy the
old man and on the way back mixed uI
a powder out of some saltz, baking pow
der and salt, with sprinkling of -four
and put a hot cloth over it to let il
steam and then wrapped it in little
blue paper, off the salts, to give it the
appearance of the genuine article. Or
our arrival We gave it to the Indians
and received the thanks of about doz
on squaws and bucks who were gathered
about the old man. Afterwards the,
told us the powder was the best h'
could have obtained and that the Indiar
agent knew what was best for the Indi
ans. }. n. +.

Whv Men Grow Bald.

When you see bald man you see
one nine times in ten who has no i'm
agination. There are twenty bald
Germans to one bald 1rishman. The
study of Shelly or of Keats never
made young man lose his hair, but
an immense desire to master the pro-
found Greek authors makes many a
student prematurely bald. The bust
ness man without Imagination who is
above thirty usually is specialist in
something. He digs into that, makes
money, grows bald and wastes his vi
tality Three physicians in five have
little hair when they are forty. Nine
newspaper men in ten have thick hair
when they are sixty. The tenth, per-
haps, does not lack imagination, but
may have studied too hard in school
days.

Tnos. D. Parent, of Schroeder, was in
town Thursday. Mr.. Parent and his
partner, VIM. Pemble, who are engaged
in the fur trade, devote part of their
leisure time during the summer months
to cultivating little garden patch they
have opened up on an island eighteen
miles back from Schroeder. This year
they are raising nearly everything in the
list of northern grown vegetables, and
they have beautiful flower garden, too,
constituting on the whole convincing
demonstration Of the fertility of the
soil and it's fitness for other uses than
a forest reserve. They have potatoes,
of course, cabbage 600 plants), tomatoes.
cucumbers, squash, water melons, ETC..
etc. From the first picking of cucum-
beers this year they have put up barrel
of pickles, which, Mr.. Parent says, is but
a fair illustration of the abundance with
which every variety OF vegetable grows.
This piece of land has been cultivated
for tive years without any fertilization.

Landslide at McInd0eS.

All traffic on the Connecticut & Pas
sumpsic division was suspended from
Sunday afternoon until Tuesday morn
ing, owing to a big washout a mile
below McIndoes where the railroad runs
close to high hill and the highway is
about 60 feet below towards the river.
The roadbed showed signs of weakness
the last of the week and section hands
had been closely watching it. Just be-
fore the northbound "air line" came
along Sunday afternoon the men thought
it was wisest to flag the train. Some of
the passengers and train hands walked
ahead of the train on the track, when
suddenly the roadbed began to slide
away and they had to run to escape
going down With it, The roadbed and
telegraph poles slid off towards the
highway, making landslide nearly rs
feet long and nearly so feet deep in spots.
The construction gang arrived promptly
on the scene and by driving piles made a
temporary trestle so that traffic was
resumed yesterday. In the meantime
the east end of the Lake road had a run
of traffic which is unprecedented in the
history of this. road and passengers and
perishable freight were taken from here
to Wells River via. Lunenburg and the
wing road" AS this was a detour o
about so miles all trains Monday were
from two to four hours late. Some o
the local passenger trains and nearly al
the freight trains were cancelled for tina
day.

A Base Ball Victory.-commencem Hon

WIS 1AOtSam anu Jctsam'
Owing to the wet condition of the
campus the game between the Academy
nine and the Littleton High School was
played at the Lyndonville grounds Sat
urday afternoon and the Academy boys
won the game in the ninth inning by a
safe and timely hit of Jack Borland's.
1t was rather loosely played game and
the large score would indicate heavy
batting, though the facts of the case are
the Littleton boys got only five hits and
our nine six. The Academy boys started
in with splendid lead, but lost in the
seventh and the chances of victory looked
rather dubious. In the ninth inning they
braced up and with two men on bases
and only one man out some of the
weaker batters on the nine showed what
they could do in an emergency and won
the game. 1t was a pitchers battle,
both teams giving rather poor support.
Hill pitched heady game striking out
nine men, while Lynch caused II Acad-
envy boys to fan the air Our boys put
up good fielding game, excelling Little
ton at this feature of the game. Heath's
work on third and Spaulding's at first
was especially good. Following is the

An Old Landmark Gone.

The workmen have taken down the
Reservoir" which for at least SO
years has crowned the hill at the foot Of
Summer street and which was at one
time an important adjunct of the water
system of the st. Johnsbury Aqueduct
Company. The structure was 80 feet in
diameter and about 16 feet deep,
measuring from the top of the masonry.
1t is torn down to give place to the new
hospital which will occupy substantially
the same foundations, though the
ground dimensions of the hospital will
be 100 by 40 feet. The trustees of the
hospital expect to begin work on the
new institution this spring and as the
reservoir rested on bed rock great deal
of blasting will be avoided.
