Wheel Baby $50 Miles.

Of the real Western type of pioneer
are George Palmer and wife, who
walked $50 miles from Ashcroft, b. c.,
to the NeChaco Valley, in the Northern
wilds of the province, to take up land
for farming purposes. They wheeled
a gocarr containing their yearold son
practically all the way. The three ar
rived safely at their destination and
Palmer has obtained the 100 acres of
free land that he went after and is now
busy making himself and his family a
home.
The story of Mr.. and Mrs. Palmer's
exploits is told IN a report made to the
provincial authorities here by Neal
Catching, Government land agens at
Nechaco. Catching says that while the
country is all that can be desired from
an agricultural standpoint. he would
not adyi SO people to rush in before the
railway line gets there, which will not

salmon's Importance as a Food.

During the last few years canned sal
mon has been taking its place very rap
idly among the important food supplies
of the world. The expansion OF the mar
kets in the United States has been truly
remarkable Brokers taking the aggre-
the amount of salmon remaining IN frs s
hands before the opening sales on the 1917
ned AUTOMATICALLY the entire 1906 pack
found a ready market during the Twelve
months after it's production. Because OF
this increased domestic demand, the usual
allotment of half million cases to the
markets of the United Kingdom was re.
duced to less than hundred thousand
cases, leaving the British jobbers clamor-
ing for stocks months before the new
pack was available. In nine months time
the consumption of canned salmon in the
United States amounted to virtually g.
900 900 cases, or concisely, 2,956,00 cases.
and three months before the 1907 pack
arrived jsbbers were sending I'm orders
for stock which could not be supplied,
The cleanup of the 1907 pack was aca
complishcG with an equal facility, only
a few months being necessary to mark
the exhaustion of all grades of salmon
except one which being a cheaper grade
and not so largely in demand. was carried
over in considerable quantities.
This means that canned salmon has be-
come of primary Importance as q food
product and taken its place with other
universal foods such as beef. pork, NUT
ton and breadstuffs. Packed under the
most sanitary conditions, containing more
nutritious qualities than any other staple
food. and being sold at price easily
within the reach of the most slender
pocketbooks. it has gained worldwide
favor that is well-merited.-Outin Mag

.AvNr,s- TO &c REFORMED.
: Abuses Of the french Government
Pswn. Shops 70 Be Corrected.

"A measure Of reform is to be applied
to the venerable institution the Mont
de Piete, more Familiarity known tc Pa
risians as "Aunt's."
Since its reestablishment under the
first Napoleon many abuses have grown
UP around it. What the poor borrowers
find most exasperating is the way in
which they are delivered into the mer-
CHESS hands of the gentry who traffic
in Mont de Piete tickets.
Strictly speaking, no one besides the
Mont de PietG has right to carry on
the business of pawnbroking in France.
but these "marchands'' or agents find
no difficulty in technically, at all events
evading the law. For example, the
Mont de Piete will lend only one-fifth
of the established value of the article
offered as a pledge. AS the assessors
are responsible should there be any
loss when the goods are sold, they put
upon them only the lowest possible
value. If you have a watch valued at
410 the Mont de Piete will lend you
but E2 upon it. Should you need fur
Their advance you must have recourse
to the many agents whose officers are
in proximity to the Mont de PietC and
its branches.
The agent will perhaps advance los,
for which he charges at the rate of 60
per cent. per annum, while the interest
chargeabie by the Mont de Piete is but
"a per cent.
Here is another example of the way
in which these people do business. Not
long ago a we'll known actress wished
to raise $4,000 on her jewelry. AS the
Mont de Piete would advance only
COCO, she went to an agent. He
pledged the jewelry with the Mont de
Pete for $780, for which he paid ga
per cent. interest. Then the syndicate
behind him advanced the remainder of
the money and charged the actress 60
per cent. for the $4,000. Inquiries
which have been carried out by the
police go to show that many OF these
people are simply the representatives
Of usurers, who in open defiance If the
law amass large fortunes in this way
Many complaints from the poorer class
es of Mont de Piete clients have been
received by the police.
When it Is considered thai nine
tenths OF those who deal with the Mont
de piete eventually find themselves in
the hands Of the rapaciOus agents the
extent Of the evil can be imagined
Now the authorities intend to cut their
claws. In order to do this they are
casting about for some means of en-
larging the powers and widening the
sphere of influence of the Monte de
Piete.--Paris Correspondence London

Beat Vasco de Gama7

Hats off to the messenger of King
Nachao II-610 to sos F.. C-who is now
for the first time credited by moderns
with having circumnavigated Africa,
and is the only ancient Egyptian to
claim that record! We regret that
circumstances over which we had no
control have delayed this outturst so
long. We have been busy. Besides,
it was only. the other day that the
Psychologists deciphered the assorted
birds, beasts and queer people that
combine to chronicle the kings mes
sengcr's very admirable boatride. The
tent, as boiled down by the translators,
amounts to this: King Nechao III sent
a messenger to make a tour of the
unknown earth; that messenger re-
turned to Egypt after having circum-
ravigated Africa; the king welcomed
his messenger at Bubastes and ordered
his yarn done into pictures. Hence
the document. Another document. one
in Brussels. shows that the messenger
must have got home in the year 500
r. c. We cannot be sorry enough
that we did not come by these facts
earlier. Publishing them now, with
eighteen battleships circumnavigating
the planet, makes them seem a bit
tame.-Boston Transcript.

A SOUTH AMERICAN LEGEND.
A Formula Supposed to Cure Bite OF

Of the charm which would cure the
deadly bite of tropical serpent. Woul''
Lopez tell me? No. he would no., ana
tesides he did not have all OF II. Ihere

secret few had. Lopez then informed
me that for his part he believed III the
ccntras left by the holy blood OF San
Luis Baltram, priest who long ago
went ministering to the Indians CT the
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. ana
who. on being taken prisoner, was sac
rificed 20 the sun at daybreak on the
ton of an exposed ledge of rocks Wnere
the RAYS Of light came first ana the
valleys were still in the shadow. There
If is said his throat was cut and the
blood allowed to flow down the ledge
of rock, and to the establishment of the
Indians 1t continued to bush from the
wound in such quantities that all the
ladge of rock was bathed in blood; and
word went out that the priest would
b,eed till he had covered all the noun
tain with blood. Then the Indians IN
great fear were baptised and parcoheo
by the dying priest, and promised 70
always obey the teachings OF other
priests who would be sent to them
Then the flow Of blood stopped and the
good priest died.
Immediately the legend tells That
strange plants appeared where the
blood has been flowing, and the voice
of Baltram was heard telling the peo-
rle. his murderers, that these plants
had ben sent as parting blessing and
were contras to save the people who
lived and who would in future i've
among. the mountains. from the terrors
| of snake bites.
At q later date a priest, writing on

spoke Of the great numbers of nec1cin-
al plants found in those regions when

referred them to the death of San LUIS
