John Burrouohs.

John Burroughs, the naturalist, was 73 years old last Sunday. He is living at West Park on the Hudson, where he leads the serene and equable exist ence of a country farmer, and can study from his window the flights of the bird or the bee, the growth of vine or flower, that he has described in his books with the pen of one who lives on terms of loving Intimacy with ani- mate nature.
 The early environment of the youth flH naturalist was scarcely conducive to the pursuit of letters. He began to write at l4, and at IS had an essay on Exnersen accepted by the Atlantic Monthly. His earlier essays were written in rather ponSierous Johnsonese Engsfzh. in marked contrast to the hu- ent and graceful simplicity of his later literary style. But it is not ss a great writer that Burroughs will be relnem- bered- His claim to consideration rests upon his powers of observation. He has written of what the beasts the birds and the flowers really do, and has found the truth far more fascina ting than the ina gfnative fiction of the nature fa4xirs."-PhiIadelpa Ledger

 T want to praise Mi-o-na stomach tablets, for I had been doctoring for over a year for stomach trouble and found nothing that did me so much good as Mi-o-na does.

Keeping the Te.-KettIe Free From Scale

Every housewife who lives where water is hard, knows how the lime and other salts form a coating on the inside of the kettle. This may be largely pre- vented, and the outside of the tea-kettle kept free from soot and grease, by washing thoroughly inside and outside every day or so, with hot water and Gold Dust.
 The hard lime and other salts are dis solved by the Gold Dust and the in side of the kettle will be kept smooth much longer, if thus cared for. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with clear warm water, then refill with cold water for heating.

Styles in Love Letters.

It is generally conceded that with out the public reading of love letters breathing the fire of undyipg devotion no modern breach-of-promise case would be worth the time itt takes TIT in court Nobody would listen to the proceedings. There would not be the slightest satisfaction in listening to the plaintiff reciting her story of promises made and broken, and the defendant telling how the whole thing was a malicious falsehood. and that the plain tiff couldn't prove it. anyhow.
 Yet that is what breach-of- promise of Taylor Train, now incapacitated and past 80, who for nearly half a century, made 1t his business to write love letters for illterate young men. In a fine, round hand he wrote courtly billet-doux in d prose that was akin to poetry. Such sentences as, 'I ven- ture to request your acceptance of the little token of esteem which you will re- ceive with this" and .1 was so occu- pied with ane subject, and my thought so completely absorbed by one person, that there was no room for anything or anybody" made Trains love letters by proxy models of gentleness and de- corIm-

canada's Navy.

Canada has entered upon a naval programme, and in a short time will have navy more formidable than any other country of equal population on earth But what use has Canada for a navy? She has the protection of the British navy and the British army And that is not all. for under the op- eration of the Monroe doctrine Canada also has the protection of our army, Otr navy and our militia. So it will be observed that Canada is the best pro- tected country in either hemisphere
 There is no reckoning for this Cana dian navy, except on the account of loyalty to the mother country, which was shown by the devotion and the vafor of the Canadian contingent in the war with the Boers- And that is rather curious too, for the basic blood of Canada is Latin rather than Saxon.
 The same transformatio was seen in Europe. on the Rhine, some cen turies ago, when France. Latin coun- try, conquered Alsace-Lorraine Though that folk retained their Ger man language and their German GUS toms. they ultimately became more French, in heart, than Provence or even sfsington Post.
