From conversation we had with
Geo. w. Mead, of the Consolidated
Pulp & Water Power Co., of this city,
we learn from him that this company
is not overly anxious to sell the twenty
six acres of land to the city for park
purposes. We also understand from
Mr. Mead that they had not promised
to deed any right to the use of Hun
ter's Island but would consent to it's
use in connection with the use of the
twenty-six acres for park purposes.
AS far as they are concerned they are
not particular whether the city takes
the property or not This being the
case the city should try and select a
more suitable and better located piece
of property for general park purposes
than this is, and by careful search
they can find it on the south or west
side of the city In such a selection
let the council be the judge, or refer
the matter of selection to the FEEDER
ated Women's Clubs.

Trachoma, or granular eyelids, l$
the disease which the authorities are
striving so hard to keep from becom-
ing established in this country. 1t al
ready prevails here to a considerable
extent, but 1t could be overcome if
fresh cases could be excluded; and 1t
is because many would-be immigrants
suffer from 1t that they are turned
back from these shores every year.
1t is disease which afflicts chiefly
the poorest classes in Europe, especial
ly in Russia and Poland, and its spread
through contagion is increased by the
dirty and unhygienic surroundings in.
which these people live.
The disease Is extremely contagious,
and If introduced into a public school
is likely to attack "a very large number
of the pupils unless 1t is early recog-
nized and the. sufferers are excluded.
The inflammation, which soon be-
comes chronic in its course, involves at
first the mucous membrane which lines
the lids, but is almost certain, if neg
lected to spread to the covering of the
eyeball. If the lid Is examined it will
be seen to be studded on its under sur
face with number of little round bod
les of grayish-white color, embedded
In the thickened mucous membrane.
The upper lids droop, so that the eyes
mr. nn1x ho If n
eye itself becomes affected and the
cornea grows opaque. This leads to
more or less complete blindness.
The treatment of granular lids must
be energetic, and begun early, If relief
is to be hoped for, since the disease
is progressive one, which advances
steadily to soaring and impairment of
vision unless checked in time.
The treatment is one calling for the
skill Of the physician. Domestic rem
edies are useless, even harmful, since
the application of them causes danger
Gus delay and postpones the institution
of scientific measures of relief.
For the protection of others 1t is vi
tally important that the sufferer from
granular lids should have his own to-
let articles soap, towels and even
wash basin-which must on no account
be used by others. The towels and
handkerchiefs used by him should not
go into the common wash, and should
always be thoroughly boiled for ten or
fifteen minutes and ironed with as hot
an iron as can be used without scorch-
ing. 1t is only by the exercise Of per-
sistent precautions of this sort that the
other members of the family can be
protected.

CATS EIGHTY-FooT LEAP.
Admiral Togo Lands Safely and
Whips His Feline Rojestvensky.

Admiral Togo Lands Safely and
Admiral Togo, an Angora cat, jump
ed seven stories the other day, vaulted
a six-foot fence and whipped his rival
to standstill, says the New York
World. This is the tale told by his
fond possessors and vouched for as
gospel truth by many who rushed to
Togo's aid, expecting to attend his
funeral. Togo makes his home with
the family of Charles Littlefield In the
Wellington apartments in New York.
Miss Helen Littlefeld is his special
caretaker. Her uncle brought Togo
over from Japan three years ago.
By way of getting a reputation he
swallowed paris green and lived to
fight again.
Miss Helen was playing with the
admiral on the roof of the apartment
house when Togo peeped around an
island, SO to speak, and spied his Ro-
jestvensky, who was seated on a six
foot fence eighty feet below. Togo
sailed through the air much like a fy-
ing squirrel, alighted in the soft midst
Of a flower bed and then mounted the
fence and put his enemy to fight
Togo permitted himself to be car
ried upstairs and petted. Later veteri-
marian Mulvery thumped Togo from
head to foot and found nary a scratch.

from Victoria to Fulham All the way

himself on the doorstep making earn

you'll come in I'll ask Miss Coverdale."
Fred accepted the invitation and was
shown into a frowsy smelling parlor.
AS the servant retired a voice shouted
down the stairs:
"Who Is it, Sarah7"

And as Fred listened to the voice
shudder passed over him; 1t was the
shrill, high-pitched voice of a shrew.

lips and high cheek bones Her hair
