VACATION TRAVEL NORTH.
If Less by Railroad, More Perhaps
by Auto.

From the Manchester q. H., Union.
Railroads report so far this season
fewer tourists to Maine and New Hamp-
shire than for several years past. 1t Is
likely. however. that there will be rush
next month, and that the season will hold
later than ever Year after year people
are staying late into the autumn at the
shore and in the mountains. where the
really best months are September and
October
The foregoing. from the Brockton Times,
seems to indicate that the expected has
happened and the increasing popularity OF
the automobile has seriously affected the
reliability Of railroad reports as authorit!
concerning tourists in New England. il
may be- and probably is true. that fewer
tourists have come to Maine and New
Hampshire by railroad this season than
has been the case in several years past.
AS yet, however, no plaintive wall OF
dull business has gone up from summer

BEARS AFTER FOREST FIRES.
Troubles They Cause in Oregon
Mountain Regions.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.


One effect of the forest fires which
swept great areas last year has been to
drive lot of grizzly bears from their
former feeding grounds and make them a
menace to stock. Many reports have been
received here recently of the depredations
of these big animals on the east slope Of
tie Cascade mountains and prepara-
tions are being made to hunt them down.
The Cascade mountains have never
been known as the haunt of the griz-
zlies. In the Blue mountains, about 200
miles TO the east, however, the animals
have been known to be fairly plentiful.
Great areas of the Blue mountains and
nearby RIGGS were burned over in the
great forest fires of last year and so
this spring the grizzlies did rot find the
supplies of food 10 which they had been
accustomed. IT is believed that they
then wandered across the valleys to the
range nearer the coast. Here they also
found insufficient supplies. and SO they
have turned on the stock which ranges
the east slope of the Cascades.
Berry Hickson, an old-time woodsman
of the upper Mckenzie river, had a
great surprise recently when he set out
ON an expedition into the Cascades. In
the middle of one night several bears
brought down one of his pack mules and
ate H. He had to guard the others on
succeeding nights and with difficulty
got out of thc country with any OF them.
He has also suffered losses in stock and
viii ioin with other hunters in going
after this big game.

Legend of the Coronation Oil.
from the Lady's Pictorial.

From the Lady Pictorial.
The ceremony of amounting takes very
important place in all coronations, and
various legends are told of the holy oil.
the underlying idea being that the using
of oil was a symbol of conservation to
Cod The French had their legend as to
the sanctity of the oil with which the
monarchs Of France were anointed. The
English would not be outdone, and taxed
their ingenuity to invent a story for
themselves 1t ran in this fashion:
St Thomas a Beckett was in Danish
ment at Lyons and was praying in church
by night to the Blessed Virgin when she
suddenly appeared to him with gold
eagle and small vial of stone or glass,
which she delivered to the archbishop, as
suring hinl of the happiest effects upon
those kings who should be anointed with
the JUNCTION it contained, and desired him
to give it to monk of Poitiers. who
would hide it in a large stone in the
Church of ST. Gregory.
In this place the ampulla. with the
eagle and an account Of the vision, writ

corn to the acre. which is about three
times the general average, and proper
tionately liberal quantities OF oats and
potatoes. If the country in general came
up to these figures as an average the
increase in the nationa! crops would be
stupendous. In individual cases these
figures, fine as they are. are very greatly
exceeded. SO that the country might at
tain to them as an average without any
thing revolutionary in the methods OF
farming. If the average cotton yield
per- acre were good as it is on many
plantations-not the very best. but such
as many raisers reach-the countrys cot
ton crop would be increased 80 or 100
per cent. A great deal more can be got
out of the ground than has been. and
il our truck farmers and dairymen
learned the lesson of Denmark they
would have a great deal more money
to deposit in those postal savings banks
which Mr.. Hitchcock is rapidly opening
in divers parts of the country.

Alcohol and the Memory.
u the Jonrna! Of Inebr.ety

From the Journa! or lnebriety.
A physician who drinks beer regularly
is unable to follow any new range or
ideas and retain the facts The impress
sions made at the time seem to be very
transient and quickly disappear. Two
men, one an abstainer and the other a
moderate drinker. were sent on a COM
mission to examine and report on the
watershed of a large lake.
The abstainer saw many things ana
gave a minute, accurate report The
moderate drinkers report was very i'm
perfect and omitted important facts and
failed TO put down several data that were
necessary Both wrote the reports the
day after the examination. The differ
ence was the fault OF memory.
It has been noted that moderate drink
ers more frequently carry notebooks to
NIT down items Of facts and information
which they fear may escape their atten-
ton. Men who are engaged in absorbing
business requiring exact attention to de-
tails always depend on notes made at the
time and place. and that is frequently
tho indirect result of spirits and a dam
a -ed memory.

the same is true of Maine. The seasnore

BIC NAVY NECESSARY
TO GUARANTEE PEACE
Lord Beresford, English Ad-
miraI, Tells How War Can
Be Prevented.

| NEW YORK, August 1.-THE huge
ocean liner Olympic reached her pier
| yesterday with host of notable persons
aboard. Lord Charles Beresford, the
| famous English admiral, accompanied
| by ady Beresford the Duke of Suther-
land, Lord Desborough, former governor
/ general of Australia, and the Hon.
Arthur Stanley were among the pas
| sengers.
| THE peace OF the world, perhaps l
should say of Europe, depends upon the
British navy" declared Lord Reresford.
1T is not question of arrogance, but
the British fleet must be strong enough
to protect our interests and rights.
Peace is a great thing, but to make
il successful We must show that we are
strong A weak front will never main
tain peace for very long.
Predicts Overcoming Trouble.
1.-THE relationship between England and
Germany at this time is due to the great
commercial interests of both countries,
but I think all trouble will be overcome
by diplomacy. 1t is, however, a mistake
FOR a public man to pass opinions, lie
is much better off when he bothers with
his own affairs and leaves those of other
people alone
Asked if tho English sailors felt jeal-
Gus when they found that the Delaware
was the largest battleship at the naval
review during the coronation ceremonies
at Spithcad, the admiral replied:
NO. We looked at the Delaware With
pride and were glad that 1t belonged to
the English-Speaking race.
There should be no feeling between the
two countries. America knows how to
look after her own affairs better than any
one else. and England knows more about
England than any one else does"
Predicts House of Lords Reform.
Lord Beresford declined to discuss the
Moroccan affair, and would make no COM
ment about reciprocity between Canada
and this country. Regarding the strife be-
tween the house of commons and the
house Of lords, Lord Beresford declared
the passage Of tho veto bill would bring
about a great constitutional changc-the
reform Of the house OF lords.
After a few days stay in New York
the admiral and his party will start for
Mexico, where Lord Beresford hopes to
dispose of his property there.
From Mexico they will journey to Can
the Duke of Sutherland, and then sail
for home.
Miss Kathleen Beresford met her father
and mother at the pier. Miss Beresford
