A. Marvellous Tree.

A marvellous tree is reported to have
been discovered in the San Jacinto
Mountains, on the borders of Mexico.
The leaves of the tree resemble those
of the fig in shape, but they are Of vivid
purple and covered with bristly hairs,
which easily penetrate the skin, causing
painful swellings. The flowers are red
and greatly resemble tarantulas.
The most peculiar feature of the
plant, however, Is tho heavy and sick.

Mrs. Flint was 4 very stern woman,

afternoon a storm came up and she

"But, mother" said John.

"John, shut that trap"
"All right, mother, If you say 20

John slowly climbed the stairs and
shut tho trap. The afternoon went by
and the storm howled and ragged. Tws
hours later the family gathered fol

CHAPTER III,

It was a beautiful moonlight night,
and Whittingham was looking her best as
we made our way along the avenue lead
ing to the Piazza 1871. The President
walked briskly, silent but serene; fol-
lowed, the trouble in my mind reflected
in a somewhat hang-dog air, and I was
much comforted when the President broke
the stiffness Of the night by saying:
"You have set your foot on the first
rung Of the ladder that leads to fame and
wealth, Mr.. Martin"
was rather afraid had set II on the
first rung of the ladder that leads to the
gallows- But there the foot was; what
the ladder turned out to be was in the
hands of the gods; so I threw off care,
and as we entered the Piazza l pointed
to the statue, and said:
Behold my inspiring example, your ex-
cellency!"
EXACTLY" he replied, I make the most
Of my opportunities"
l knew he regarded me as one Of his
opportunities, and was making the most
of me. This is not pleasant point OF
view to regard ones self from, SO l
changed the subject, and said:
"Stall we call for Don Antonio?"
"Why?"

HUDSON BAY ROUTE GAINS.

Canadian TraRScOnt1nentA1 Lines
Building to Great ARM Of Sea.
The use Of the Hudson Bay route to
Europe can no longer be regarded as
mere visionary scheme. All OF Cana

reached from the south, the southwest
and the west. The more important lines
will run from the west and the south
west, from the wheat fields and the
cattle ranges
The rapid development Of Canada's
great northwest within the last few
years and the assurance Of an even
more rapid development In the years
to come have brought about new condi-
lions. The Hudson bay route Is open
for four or five months each year. 1t
is shorter by from 700 to 1000 miles
than are the present routes between the
wheat fields and the markets Of Eu,
rope. 1t offers a saving in freight han
ding. Grain and cattle from Manitoba
Saskatchewan or Alberta will require
only one transfer on their way to Eu
rope. The matter Of distance and OF
general shipping convenience is best re
allied by reference to map, whert
comparison may be made between the
direct rail routes from Winnipeg OF
Calgary or Edmonton to Fort Churchill
| or York factory and the devious rail
! lake and canal routes to Montreal Of
New York. Churchill and York, like
New York and Montreal, are practical

Japanese Ambassador Says Rela-

REyRLIN. February 2.--Thc foreign Of
flee which naturally takes the greatest
interest in the question being discussed
between the United States and Japan,
does not regard the differences as having
reached a serious point. The Japanese
Embassy to-day received inquiries on the
subject from various newspapers, ana
said there was no reason to consider the
relations between the United States and
Japan as being in any way strained. add
ing that President Roosevelt doubtless
will settle the whole matter to the salis-
faction of Japan
The newspapers here spread on the
"threatened war between the United
Sattes and Japan give comparisons OF
the navies of the two countries point TO
the isolated position of the American
fleet in Pacific waters. and the difficult
ties the United States would encounter
in concentrating a fleet, sending 1t to
the Far East and operating it successfully
at such distance from its bases and so
on but they fully recognize the enormous
reserve power of the United States and
also the probability that President Roose-
Welt will succeed in satisfactorily arrang-
ing the question under discussion.

EUROPE UPSET
BY WAR SCARE
Trouble Between America and
Japan Deprcsses All
Securities.

LONDON, February 2.-Dispatches re-
porting renewed tension between the
United States and Japan over the San
Francisco schoo! incident, are published
with rather derisive comment. as the
press takes the view that Japan Is not
as belligerent as she Is represented: and
the official view, while 1t does not
minimize the delicate points involved,
still does not regard the question as
having entered upon the critical stage.
1t is pointed ont that the report of a
Japanese "ultimatum" probably arises
from the popular use OF the word ulti-
atum instead OF It's decisive meaning
under International law. Government
circles thus far have given little con-
sideration to this controversy, as they dc
not share the view that 1t Is likely to
embroIl Great Britain under the terms
of the Anglo-Japanese treaty.
officials here point out that the
whole thing is more question be-
tween the Federal and State govern
ments than between Japan and the
United States During a recent in
formal exchange of views. one of the
,chfef government officials said that
the difficulties of the Federal govern
ment in dealing with the different
States could be appreciated here, owing
to Great Britain's difficulty in dealing
with Newfoundland and other colonies.
Concerning the Anglo-Japanese treaty
for mutual support. the offlclal view
is that this treaty is limited by it's
preamble. to the maintenance of the
territorial rights of Great Britain and
Japan in the regions of Eastern Asia
and India.
