DIR. MCGEE FOR cANTEEN.
Noted Woman Surgeon Points Out a

Washington, Jan. 28.-The neces-

in a letter from DR.. Anita Newcomb
MCGEE to Captain j. Walter Mitchell
of the Spanish-American War Veter-
ans association. DR.. MCGEE, who
formerly was an assistant surgeon in
the army and later organized a corps
of nurses under the auspices of the
Red Cross society for work among
the Japanese soldiers in the Russo

as to the drink habit among the Japan
csc soldiers, and tells of the evil re-
suits following the adjustment of the
canteen in the United States army.

the following trick: The performer
spreads the cards out, fan like, and
asks an observer to withdraw a card.
which Is then replaced in any part of
the pack. After thoroughly shutting
the cards the performer then holds
the deck in both hands behind his
back and pronouncing q few magic
words produces the card selected in
one hand and the rest of the pack in
the other. This is accomplished by
simply turning the deck end for end
while the observer is looking at his
card, thus bringing the wide end Of
the selected card at the narrow end Of
the pack when 1t is replaced. The
hands are placed behind the back for
q double purpose, as the feat then

Car Kills Big Badger.

The pugnacity of the badger is of
world wide renown. but he would
scarcely be expected to assafl street
car: yet the crew Of Pacific Electric
Car No. 1893 assert that one claiming
residence on Rancho Santa Anita
disputed the right of way last even
ing.
About O'Clock p. M, as the car
swung around the curve in the vine
yard west Of Arcadia, Motorman
Shearer saw large animal between
the rails. Repeated shrieks of the
whistle had no other effect than to
cause him to rear and bare his teeth
in defiance. Then he was a dead
badger. He weighed eighty pounds,
and his hide measures three and one
half feet in length by two in width.
His immense claws are four inches
long. He is by far the largest of the
species ever killed in this vicinity.

OTTER CAME HOME AGAIN.
Pet Returned to Owner After Brief
Hour OF Freedom.

A curious instance of animal instinct
and attachment in an otter is related
by a Cork correspondent of the Lon.
don Field. A few months ago in that
city a man caught live otter. Bring
ing the animal home, after some time,
he succeeded in tanning it, and trained
it to fish.
One day he took it to the river for
a swim, and while there it killed some
fish, but succeeded in getting of the
strap to which it was attached. After
waiting some hours in vain en-.
deavor to induce the animal to leave
the water the owner gave up in de.
spair and returned home.
Late that night, while in bed, this
man heard q scratching at the front
door of his cottage. and to his great
surprise, when he opened the door, in
walked the otter, which he then sc.
cure. The most remarkable feature
of this story is the fact that this man
lived about mile from the river and
that his cottage was one in q row.

THERE rs 4 REASON.

The Medical Times for April in a

whole opposition of physicians to "pat-

Reliable authority states that the

Medical Times figures as correct they
represent an outlay of considerably

Carefully Hidden Dowry Of Mohanr
medan Bride.
A true fairy tale concerning an Orr.

The casket is of beautiful artistic
workmanship of olive wood, with in.
crustations. 1t was evidently wed.

to give a bride in Mohammedan coun.
tries.
There is a perfume of rose leaves,
a delicate far away fragrance of the
distant East, when the cover is lifted.
The antiquary bought it at a general
sale long ago, and offered 1t to pur.
chasers amid Louis XVI. clocks, old
ribbons and out-of-date decorations.

enough to show at once that they

They referred the matter to the po-

FLOUR MILLING IN CHINA.
Interest That Seems to Promise
Wealth for Investors.

In Shanghai there are some five
flour mills, with individual capacities
running up to 600 barrels a day, in
the main owned and operated by Chi.
nese, although one is run by Germans.
These use wheat from the Soochow
creek district, and even as far as Han
kow, some 600 miles. Recently. how
ever, cargo of 10000 bags of Tacoma
wheat was received by one Of these
mills. They have been very prosper.
Gus for three years past-some of
them having been in operation for six
years-but during the last year there
has been big shortage in native
grown wheat. and the high rate of ex.
change at present seriously affects
them.

Junk bay some hours ride by launch
from the center of the city of Victoria

The new mill proposition has been
