Maine Hunting Prospects.

The reports received from persons
coming ont of the woods during the last
week are favorable to most successful
season, always providing that the wealth
err conditions hold good The hunting
last season did not yield any large re-
suits. and the game is reported to have
gained greatly in numbers. so that they
are now almost as numerous as at any
time during the past ten years.
The counties bordering on the New
Brunswick line and a few to the south Of
them make the principal stamping
gro1id Of the hunters during the open
season, and the guides in this region find
themselves possessors of tidy sums
with the close Of each season. More
than two thousand guides are EN-
ployeG and their pay ranges from
81 to 50 day, according to their skill
1t is compulsory upon nonresident hun
tiers to employ a guide, and as the season
lasts through ten weeks they find plenty
of time in which to join several parties
before the hunters begin to leave.-Bos-

KING OF THE cANNIBAL ISLANDS.
After Becoming Convert to Christianity
He Makes Extrayagant Preparations.

Strange and wonderful tales of the
eannibals of the Southern Pacific were
told by Rev. John Hopkins nenison.
pastor of the Central Congregational
church who has recently returned from
the Island of New Britain, off the coast
of New Guinea. says the Boston Tran
script. Mr.. Denison gave an illustrated
stereopticon talk in his church at East
Boston, during which he told cf his per-
sonal observations of the habits of can
nibals, and especially those who had
recently been converted. The most re-
markable case was that of Tobogo, a ma
tive chieftain, who, according to the ac-
count given by Mr.. Denison, had gone
with his sling into a neighboring viii
he cherished a grudge. He carried all
five bodies back to his own hut and ate
them one by one. Shortly after this he
wan converted to Christianity. He then
returned to the village and made
speech. Mounting stump in the pres
ence of a vast assemblage, he said:
Once l came mere with FIVE stones,
with which ! killed my enemies. Again
/ come with five stones, but they are
stones of love-" He then read them
five verses out of the Bible and returned
all the money he had stolen.
No one, said Mr.. Denison, has ever
dared to cross the Island of New Britain,
even at It's uHFTOWeSL point, WUeTe IL Is
only eight miles wide 1t is one of the
most active seats of cannibalism, and
has never been explored ten miles from
shore. The lecturer was told by reliable
witnesses on the island that the chief
tains often killed as many as two hum
bred persons at time and hung them
up TO keep, cutting them down one by
one as they were wanted. Tobogo's ex-
plot of five bodies was one of the milder
cases And after HIS conversion ha
became so sensible of the error of his
ways that he sent a message OF good
will to the American people. telling of
his gratitude to the missionaries who
had caused him to give up his barbarous
diet. Mr.. Denison also exhibited skull
obtained from the top of one of the poles
which are known among the natives as
tapu signs. He was told that it had
once been the property of boy who
had come down from the mountains and
had been knocked on the head for

the Nile of 1907.

Writing from Cairo, Consul General
L. NJ. Iddings states that the letting of
Nile water on the lands in previous years
took place on August 81, but that it will
be s'poor Nile" this year; that is, there
will be less water than usual, owing TO
lighter rains in Ahyssinia and the upper
Nile country. 1t is not expected that
mis- win make much difference with the
Egyptian crops, however owing to the
storage of water at Assouan and by the
Esneh. the Delta and the Zibe barrage.
The area of land in upper Egypt which
will get no water spoiled SharakD and
will therefore pay no tax will be con-
siderable and slightly cut down the reve-
nue. of the state. There will also be ex-
ira trouble and expense in handling the
basin water.-Daily Consular and Trade

Shrinkage of Swiss Glaciers.

Remarkable shrinkages have been go
ing on among, the Swiss glaciers, espe-
cially in the last two or three years.
The great Rhone glacier, one of the
sights of Switzerland-at least it used to
be-has lost in the last two years no less
than SS,250 square feet and others have
been shortened by anywhere from twenty
feet to forty feet. Among sixty-three in
stances fifty-three recessions were dis
covered, one glacier remained stationary,
and nine had slightly increased. The
conspicuous gain was made by the Eiger
glacier. which heightened itself Id feet
last year, but observers say that these
increases are not permanent.-We stmin-

order to reduce their output for a time
until the surplus stock of stones ON hand

seem. Seven-eighths of the dividends of

The chief cause Of Constipation and
Indigestion is weakness of the Muscles
that contract the Intestlnes and Bowels.
Cascarets are practically to the Bowel
Muscles what Massage and Cold Bath
are to the Athletic Muscles.
They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to
contract. expand, and squeeze the Diges-
tive Juices out Of food eaten.
They don't help the Bowels and Liver in
such a way as to make them lean upon
similar assistance for the future.
This is why, with Cascarets, the dose
may be lessened each succeeding time
instead of increased, as 1t must be with all
other Cathartics and Laxatives.
