Some of these fine days, unless there is change made, the news will go out to the world that some boy or boys have been drowned while playing on the logs at the sawmill. One day last week this writer counted thirteen boys, ranging in age from six to fifteen years of age, run Aing and chasing each other around on the floating logs, and one boy, slipping on a freshly-peeled log, was plunged over his depth into the water. This item is published as g warning, and we trust it will be construed in that spirit, rather than an attempt to "call down" the boys who play on those logs or the parents who allow them to do so
 An item from Tacoma to the P..I. of April 27, says: "J. G. Morrison, of Wrangell, Alaska, arrived in the city last evening to find his year-old daugh- ter dead and two young sons ill from ptomaine poisoning. The three children were taken violently ill several days ago and attending physicians at the hospital pronounced the trouble to be ptomaine poisoning, but the treatment according to that diagnosis was too late to save the life of the little girl. The condition of the two boys is critical, but the doctors believe they will recover. The children are supposed to have besn poisoned by eating cheap candy"
 MT. Ryus, senior member of the Ryus Drug Co.,, Ketchikan, was up to Peters burg last week to perfect arrangements for establishing drug store at that place, He stopped off at Wrangell for a few days on his return, and having once been ''devil," called in to have chat with the printer. Mir. Ryus is very pleasant old gentlemen. and survivor of the war which saved the Union from disruption, and we enjoyed an hour or more swopping war stories with him-he of the country's dark days and we of the late unpleasantness.

in the fiscal year which ends with next
month. will aggregate approximately

600 a decade earlier, and $16,0O0,00O
two decades earlier, according to fig
ures issued by the bureau of statistics

Few publishers could "put name on
the price of the copyright of Sappho and
Menander. which, according to a recent
decision of the court of appeal. would
vest IN the owner of the manuscript. We
can imagine no more agreeable hobby for
a millionaire of classical tastes than to
undertake the complete investigation of
Herculaneum.
The discoveries at Oxyrhynchus. de-
scribed by DR.. Grenfell this week, show
what a rich harvest remains to be
reaped in this kind. Hitherto only a few
gleanings have come to light. and yet
among them we count new work by
Aristotle, a new poet like Herondas. new
odes of Pindar, and even fra gments of
an unknown Gospel. Any day we may
hear that the library of a scholar has
been disinterred containing not merely
the fragments which we owe to publish
ers' waste-paper baskets. but whole rolls
of classical writer's. The poems of
Sappho and the plays of Menander the
lost books of Livy and Tacitus. may yet
be brought to light. so that we can judge
for ourselves of writer's whom we only
know by their vast reputation. or add
to our knowledge of those whose every
word is a possession forever.

English Changing Drinks.

There has been decline of nearly
2, 100000 barrels of beer in the annual
consumption of the United Kingdom
during the past six years, nOtWithstand-
ing that the population increased by =
100000. oo
Otficial figures for the fiscal year 1906
give the amount retained for consump-
ton at 33,5O4,OOO barrels, or 27.9 gal
Ions per capita. The decline of IL per
cent has taken place entirely in the Eng
fish and Scottish consumption, since that
of Ireland exhibits a slight actual in
crease over the six years previous. That
the people of the United Kingdom are
not making up for their beer frugality
by imbibing more spirits is shown by
the statistics, from which 1t appears
that the total amount OF consumption
of spirits decreased from IL proof gal
Ions to nine-tenths of a gallon. The
spirits retained for consumption in the
1906 fiscal year was 34,4S7 600 gal
ions of homemade and 6,735 900 foreign.
Measured by the population the decline
in the amount of British spirits con
sumed is about 10 per cent whereas N
respect to foreign spirits it is about %
per cent Furthermore, the practice OF
private brewing has decreased enormous
iv in the last decade. The sale OF beer
TO the trade is being centered in the
hands of the large producers. Engllsh
journals draw as a deduction from these
figures that the habits of their people
are improving

coming still greater tea drinkers, their
imports of tea for home consumption
having been for the first seven months
of 1906. 155, 767 no pounds, an increase

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When a person gets up in the morning
with dull headache and tired, stretchy
feeling, it is an almost certain indication
that the liver, or bowels, or both, are de-

best of all doctors, takes this means to
give warning that she needs the help and
gentle assistance which can best be OBJ
tanned from that old family remedy,
Brandreth's Pills, which has been IN use
for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative tonic
