Known commercially as the Columbia river
smelt, the king of pan fish has several names.
Ichthyologists classify it theichthys pacificus,
of the smelt family. The Indians of the Column
bia river region knew it as oulachan and the pio-
neer fishermen called 1t the Eskimo candle fish.
In shape it resembles the smet of the eastern
states and Europe, but its rich yet delicate and
sweet flavor places it far above them in the esti
nation of the epicures. Indeed, enthusiasts insist
that as a pan fish it is superior to trout of any
kind.
For unnumbered years the oulachan has made
the Cowlitz river its spawning ground and of
course the Columbia river Indians the first

the fish in vast quantities. drying and smoking

Opportunity of Suffraaist.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
of the magazines how the women of
Finland came to vote. The fact Is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis. such as that in 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

Globular LIGHTNING.

Yesterday the inhabitants of Lewis
ham were provided with a specimen
of that curious phenomenon known as
"globular lightning" 1t is what is
commonly called the fire ball." and
as 1t persists for several seconds it is
obviously of totally different charac
ter from any other form of lightning
1t is much less brilliant than ordinary
lightning, and its brightness appears
to be that of iron at the red hot
stage.
1t is not, as some accounts might
lead one to infer, a solid missile. but
1t is always spherical and appears to
fall from thunder cloud by its own
gravity, sometimes rebounding after
striking the ground.-London Globe.

Not long ago Lord Kinnaird, who is
always actively interested in religious
work, paid a surprise visit to a mis-
sion school in the east end of London
and told class of boys the story of
Samson. Introducing his narrative,
his lordship added:
HE was strong, became weak, and
then segained his strength, enabling
him to destroy his enemies. Now,
boys, if l had an enemy. what would
you advise me to do?"
A little boy, after meditating on the
secret of that great giants strength,
shot up his hand and exclaimed: Get

RHEUMATlSM
PAINFUL g. DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. It is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms a coating over the muscles,
and by depositing a Cement-like sub
stance in the joints frequently termi-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
doctor the spot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use liniments, hot app1i-
cations, etc, to get temporary relief
from a painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets a firmer hold on the blood.
