TALES OF LAeRADoR's WEALTH.
They May Be True, But II Will Be
Cold Work Proving Them.

Stories of Labrador have the weird
interest that attaches to a practically
undiscovered country. Trappers have
penetrated the wilds to some extent,
and. after months of isolation, have
brought out wealth of peltry in proof
of the number and variety Of fur-bear-
ing animals that inhabit them. A
summer tourist now and then, disdain-
ing the beaten paths of civilization,
has. with canoe and gun and camp
equipage, spent season of adventure
on the rivers that flow into the Gulf
of st. Lawrence or Hudson's bay;
tales have been told of the lonely
half-savage lives of the flsher-folk in
their little huts perched upon the
rocks, their bitteTest necessities re-
lieved once a year by supply ship
sent out by the British government;
the topography of the country has
been outlined by government surveys
and by the findings of more than one
ill-starred Arctic expedition; the won
derful people that live in snow huts
and exist upon what they can take
out of the frozen waters have been
described, and their servitors in the
animal kingdom-the Eskimo dogs
wolves scarcely tanned, savagely
hungry. fierce fighters among them
selves, but trained to harness, have
been extolled for their usefulness
and sagacity.
But of the great natural resources
of Labrador-its mineral deposits. its
vast wealth in timber, the possibilities
of agriculture in its more favored To-
calities, and its general susceptibility
to settlement. there is little beyond
conjecture. Hence the story brought
from the far northland by a. w. Bird
sell, of Los Angeles, who has just re-
turned to his home i'm that city after
an absence of IS years in northeast
ern Labrador, is Of more than passing
interest. There is nothing unbeliev'
able in the assumption that the rocks
of bleak and inhospitable North Lab
rador are stratifed with gold; the
story of the Klondike bears out the
truth of the theory. The possibility
of surviving in comfort winter in a
temperature of GO degrees below zero,
where the night lasts for half a year,
has been demonstrated by other ex.
plorers within the Arctic zone, but
the public will listen with interest to
Mr.. Birdselrs reiteration of the state
ment.
The conditions imposed by nature
in these far-north attitudes. however,
are forbidding, and, except under the
stress Of excitement engendered by
the discovery of gold mines of fabu
lous richness, few people will care to
brave the rigors of the Labrador eli
mate in the hope of uncovering the
wealth that abounds in the rocks.

HORSES THAT WOULDN'T DROWN
Remarkable Deeds Recorded by Two
Veracious Chroniclers.

An Albanian who has just returned
from the east, where freshets have
been the rule, tells the following about
a horse which had been attached to
a foot bridge crossing a brook. to
keep the structure from going adrift.
The food finally swept horse and
bridge down stream. Later, the
bridge was discovered lodged against
the bank, with the horse sitting quiet
ly on the former.
A bystander who had listened in
tently to this tale, remarked quietly:
II see suthin', similyar oncet."
Indeed? What was it?" asked the
story teller.
'Ye see," was the reply, "arter the
boss l see was took down stream, no.
buddy ever 'spected to see him alive
agin. But he was a pow'ful sort o.
brute, an bout a hour arterward we
see him a comm up a stream a-pulin'
the blame ole bridge arter him!"-Al-
bany Evening Journal.

BLACK. ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE.
Physician Called II Eczema In Worst
Form-Patient Despaired Of Cure
Cuticura Remedies Cured Her.

About four years ago was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and a few covering my body, which
produced a severe itching irritation,
and which caused me a great deal of
suffering, to such an extent that l was
forced to call in two OF the leading
physicians of --. After thorough
examination of the dreaded complaint
they announced it to be skin eczema
in the worst form. Their treatment
did me no good. Finally l became de-
spondent and decided to discontinue
their services. My husband purchased
a single set of the Cuticura Remedies,
which entirely stopped the breaking
out. / continued the use Of the Cuti-
cura Remedies for six months, and
after that ever splotch was entirely
gone. / have not felt a symptom of
the eczema since, which was three
years ago. Mrs. Lizzie +. Sledge, $40

What London's Lord Mayor Costs.

The maintenance of the pride, pomp
and circumstance of civic state costs
the corporation of London a yearly
sum of close upon G1S,000. The lord
mayor receives 10000 and the In
come tax on that sum is paid for him,
while he is allowd s100 for the sup
ply of new furniture, and his robes
cost close upon 9200. The the rates,
taxes and tithes payable on the Man
sion House total upwards of $4,000,
the lighting involves an outlay of up
wards of $50, the water supply costs
ESQ, and fire and boiler insurance alb
serbs 9135. Next, structural and 9TH
er repairs represent an expenditure
closely approaching $4,000, and peri
odically there is heavy call" for spe-
cial redecoration-the amount spent
last year, for instance, on the Egyp-
tan hall being ESQ.

Diamond Loss in Cutting.

Diamonds lose enormously in the
process of cutting. The Excelsior,
like the Cullinan, is a Cape diamond
of fine quality and free from color. II
was the biggest diamond known until
the giant Cullinan was found, but in
the rough it only weighed seven
ounces, or less than a third of the
Cullinan. AS now cut it weighs only
IA ounces. 1t is reduced to a quar-
ter of its original size.
In the same way the Pitt diamond,
an Indian one, named after Gen. Pitt,
Of Madras, weighed originally three
ounces, and is now Git is in Paris, in
the Louvre, and is called "The Re-
gent') less than an ounce in weight.
The biggest Indian diamond known
the Nizam-is not quite twice this
size, while the Kohinor, which is prob
ably a fragment Ga third of the
Great Mogur-a diamond which has
disappeared, leaving only tradition
and surmises as to its history-weighs
no less than three-quarters of an
ounce. This seems a small affair by
the side of the 81 ounces of the Culli.

are now in operation. employing 1907
operatives. Two margarine plants
closed down during the last -

DRANK WITH HIS FEET.
Clergyman Knew the Best Place to
Put the Whisky.

There was no fire in the smoking
car and everybody was blue and trem-
ulous with cold.
my feet fairly ache" said clergy
man.
Then a drummer, winking at his
neighbors, pulled out flask of whis-
ky.
Here's the best thing going for cold
feet, friend" he said.
And the clergyman extended his
hand for the bottle eagerly.
you bet it is" said he.
He poured huge drink into the
glass, lifted it toward the drummer
with a Here's looking at you, sir" and
then. slipping off his boots, emptied
the whisky into them.

he said, will be in a warm glow.

Would Not compromise.

A German traveller who. tried to pass
q meal ticket on the train was told by
the conductor that he would have to
pay the regulation fare of SO cents.
The German argued and refused to
pay more than 20 cents, whereupon the
conductor stopped the train and put
him off.
In a twinkling the traveller ran
ahead of the engine and started to
walk on the track. The engineer blew
his whistle violently, but the irate
German turned, shook his fist and
called out: You can vissle all you
want to; I Won't come pack.

Good Workers IIIy Rewarded.

Sweynheym and Pannartz, the two
Germans who were the first to print
books in Rome. used paper and types
of excellent quality. Their ink on
pages printed more than 400 years
ago can vie in blackness with the best
of the present day. Yet with all their
labors they often lacked bread. In a
petition to the pope they informed his
holiness that their house was full of
proof sheets, but they had nothing to
