EARLY NORTHWEST VOYAGES.

Beginning with the American dis

FIre Record for Last Year,

The fact that when a servant be,
comes master cruel foe is suddenly
developed is attested by the dreadful
havoc and loss OF life occasioned by
fire in the United States within the
IL months covered by a summing up
OF these losses for 1906 This record
shows that nearly 1000 lives were
lost and more than 100000, 900 worth
of property was destroyed by fire dur
ing that period. In no other country
in the world is the fire loss, in bulk
or pro rata, anywhere near our own
Last year, owing to the devastating
fire that followed the earthquake in
San Francisco, this loss was In great
excess OF the average but the average
for some years past has been 5000,

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry near
~ all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted
Then We eat the wrong kind Of food
or eat too much and there you are
indigestion and its accompanying
miseries.
A Phila. lady said, the other day:
My husband and | have been sick
and nervous for Is or 20 years from

Gossip.

Baseball may be faster game in
some particulars than it was in the
sos or '90s, but it is undeniably true
that in two important particulars
base running and returning the ball
from the outfield-it has slowed up
wofully. There is no Harry Stovey, no
Jakey Evans in the game now. Many
present day fans remember Stovey of
the old Athletics. Not quite so many
recall Evans of the old Cleveland
team, when the elder Wesley, Charles
Buckley, and George w Howe were
the owners. Season after season
Evans, who played in right field, held
the record for outfield assists, and al
ways big percentage of these assists
were made in throwing batters out at
first. Jakey knew the batters of that
period better than any outtielder-ex-
cepting possibly Fielder Jones, Jack
Mccarthy and Billy keeler-knows
them to-day, and laid for them with
an intuition of where the ball would
be that was marvellous. Nowadays it
happens once OF Twice IL StdSOu llldl
a batter is thrown out at first by the
right fielder after an apparently safe
hit. Evans once made three such as
ssts in a single series. And all the
time, from the beginning to the end
of the season, he was whipping the
ball to second, third, and home with
a speed and accuracy that has never
been equaled or approached. Harry
Stovey scored 1853 runs in the Ameri-
can association in 1889. He led all
the fast base runners of the Brother
hood in 1890. He was the champion
base runner of the world in 1887, 1888
and 1889 He stole second base al
most as easily as the modern player
goes down from first on sacrifice
hit. No, it's a mighty fast game we
see in these days of peace, but there
are no Jake Evanses nor Harry Sto-
yeys in the game to-day.

Arthur f. Bartlett, a student at
Worcester academy, is young giant,
and possesses a strength which, when
developed, will make him the strong
est college man in the country, and
this is sweeping claim when the
college Samsons of to-day are reck-
oned with. Prof B. Mcmillan of the
academy makes the claim for young
Bartlett, who is Boston lad, and has
been put through the strength testing
process, in which he made remark
able showing. Bartlett is but a young
fellow-the greatest specimen of phys
ical manhood that Worcester aCad'
envy has ever known. His total
strength based upon the Sargent sys-
TEN of points as arranged by the prep
and college professors of the gym
nasium, is 1858 points. He lifts with
his back 500 points and with his legs
1,lO9 points. Bartlett is only II years
old, IS modest as a girl, is handsome,
Chesterfeldian, and has broken all
other strength records Of the academy.
The record Of the academy was held
until Bartletts coming by Foster "
Young, Of Aylesford, n. S. This &c.
ord was $50 points.
