London.-The question of how to
diminish England's rapidly increasing
crop of old maids has become vital
here and hardly a week passes with
out a lecture on the subject.
Miss Josephine Knowles, England's
foremost expert in this line, has just
held a lecture in which she severely
criticized English parents, whom she
accused of injuring their daughters
prospects by caging them up at home
simply catering for them in the way
Of food, clothes and necessaries, but
without allowing them as much as six
pence weekly for pin money, and Civ
ing them no training or education that
would make them fit either to marry
or to make their own living.
She strongly advocated emigration
of girls on Q large scale. rather enjoy
ing the shock this gave her audience
and declaring that her suggestion was
based on sound common sense as long
as there was a large superfuity OF
women in England while men in the
colonies were clamoring for wives. Al

a society is soon to be formed to ar
range marriages between suitable
parties in England and her dominions

Quiet Town of Burwash, to Which

London-Although every part Of
Sussex is within easy reach of Lon
don, there are still many out-of-the-
way villages in it where you may
practically get as far from the Mad
ding crowd as if you were in the mid
die of desert.
One of these is Burwash, where
Rudyard Kipling secluded himself
from the torment Of sightseers who
drove him from rockingham. Rotting-
dean is a quaint seaside village, so
close to Brighton that every visitor
here makes a point of seeing it, and
Kipling used to be looked upon as a
valuable asset in the attractions of the
place.

SPIRITS FIND MINE

runs, laid the curse on him that he
should catch no bear in his traps for
500 years. Bodfish went on setting his
traps, but caught nothing. Then he
went to the Mediator to try to an
duce him to life the curse. The Medi-
ator at last relented to the extent of
taking off 200 of the 500 years. Bod
fish went home and thought it over.
Even 800 years seemed too long a
time to wait, and again he called on
the Mediator, who consented that the
200 years rebate should run forward
from the beginning instead of back
from the end of the original 500. At
the end of the season the customary
array of bear pelts was hanging on
Bodfish's fence to dry.
Brown says the spirits told him of
the existence of a very rich mine in
California. They described is so
carefully that the Mediator felt sure
he would be able to find 1t, and he
notified some of his earthly friends on
the coast The Californians told him
to come on and locate the mine, and
he did so, returning with the news
that he had pointed out the location
Of a gold deposit that would make
them millionaires. For himself he
had no interest in wealth.

a cat.

TOO MANY LABoRERs THERE
No More Needed In Western Part Of
Canada, Says United States
Consul.

Vancouver. B. C.-While it is true
that with the approach Of spring there
are fewer unemployed in British CO.
iumbia than few months ago, 1t can
hardly be denied that there are more
than sufficient laborers in this prov
lnce at present for any demand likely
to arise in the course Of the year,
David T. WILDER reports from Van
couver.
The immigration Of laborers from
the United States to Canada should be
discouraged until further develop
ments have greatly changed the labor
situation here. Immigrants from the
United States are bound to be disap-
pointed because of the lower wages,
higher cost Of living and the great un-
certainty of obtaining employments.
They should in no case come without
sufficient means to keep them for
some time in case they cannot obtain
employment and to take them back
TO the United States II finally unsuc-
cessful. However, larger numbers have
been attracted to British Columbia
than can possibly obtain work. al
though the province is developing rap
idly. Hardly a day has passed during
this winter when the situation Of the
unemployed In Vancouver has not
been brought repeatedly to my atten-
ton by destitute Americans seeking
assistance to get home. No less than
5000 Americans have permanently re-
turned from Vancouver alone since
November /.
1t should also be added that the
laws against vagrancy are very strict
and rigidly enforced in Vancouver.

Clock Struck Backward.

Chicago.-Because his grandfather
clock struck backward, Patrick Cal
houn spent several days in Jail cell.
Waking at o'clock in the morning he
heard the clock strike five, and decid-
ed he would sleep another hour. Half
awake at six o'clock he heard the
clock strike four, and turned over this
time for two hours of rest. At eight
o'clock he arose in wrath, as the clock
was striking two. He stormed because
his wife had let him miss morning
mass. She called the police and Pat
rick was taken to JAIL
After the arrest Mrs. Calhoun re-
membered she had cleaned the clock
the day before and upon Investigating

His Power.

Bangor, Me.-Trustum H. Brown,

Gently, on his return from a visit to
Boston, and although eighty-six years
of age he tripped down town like a
boy and told with enthusiasm all
about a new treatise he has just com
ipleted on 1.-THE Truths of Christ and
the Errors of Christianity" Not
long ago the Mediator demonstrated
his reputed supernatural or unusual
powers by locating a gold mine In
California, getting his information, he
said, from the spirits of intimate
friends long dead.
For many years Brown has occu-
pied a little cabin on a mountain
slope, spending his time chiefly in
fishing, hunting and philosophical
meditation and research, all the while
holding communication with the
spirits of the departed, he says. He
calls himself Mediator between God
and man."
Beyond delivering exhortations
wherever he may find listener, the
Mediator's principal occupations are
trapping for furs and bear bounties
and preparing and peddling medi-
cine, compounded from forest roots,
barks and herbs, warranted to cure
every human malady. His gala time
of the year is when the Spiritualists
of Maine hold their annual camp
meeting at Etna Pond in Penobscott
county. This he always attends, en-
tering into the spirit of the occasion
with an enthusiasm that makes the
Job of suppressing him the most DIFF
