fl& in hush money to a man who regularly attended the club and repre- scented himself as n detective in such clr- eumstanees. And it was not until he had paid this sum. and the bogus detective had been coming 10 the club for nearly nine months. that he discovered that he was not connected with the police
 A lew months ago. however. one was smartly dealt with at London police court, and the magistrate. sentencing him to three months hard labor, ex- pressed his regret that he could not make the sentence four times as great. It Is safe to affirm. however that this particular gentleman" will not try the bogus detective game again with any success, for the police mean to keep a very Nigilant eye uron him
 Wives should also he warned against the man who calls during the absence of the husband and. telling plausible tale of how the latter has been caught stealing something from shop pr warehouse. asks Tor money to pay for the goods in order that the man shall not be taken to prison. This trick has become rather common of late The bogus detective. of course, learns in the first place where his victim is employed and as much about him as possible and this know- edge helps him te successfully carry out his plan to extort money from the agi- tated wife who. naturally, Is willing to part with anything to save her husband from the police.

The present year sees Canada at the portals of great change. passing from constructive to productive era. No other country, all things considered. has made such material progress or hull<cd so largely in the worlds eye during the past decade as has the dominion, says a writer in the Review of Reviews Her advance in every respect has been mar vicious. probably the most marcelous in history. and that this has been arrested to even q slight degree occasions sur l rise, though why this should be is diff ficult to understand
 Fly her census of 1901 Canada showed, despite the thrush of immigrants then beginning. only tLo same increase in popu- lation as her tiny neighbor, Newfound- land, with no immigration whatever; a fact proving that there must have been q substantial exodus of her own people across the Atlantic borden though sta tistics as to this are not easily avail able.

BOGUS SLEUTHS A
 PEST IN LONDON
Rogues Who Live on Hush Money Extorted From Gamblers and
 Night Clubs

This case is one of considerable im- portanee. It has been known for long time that there is class of men who successfully extort money from bookmakers by pretending to be on tho police force"
 The words are those of counsel repre- senting the commissioner of police in a recent case in which a bogus detective was accused of backmailing a book maker-a case which called attention to q particularly mean kind of fraud, says Tit Bits. For not only do these bogus de- teetives extort money from hookmakers and other people. but they suceeed-fortu- nately only in q small degree-;n smireh- ing the reputation of the police and de- tective forces
 In the particular case mentioned a bogus detective introduced himself to a book maker in a West End restaurant as a Scotland Yard man and proceeded to arrest him for street betting and take nm to the nearest police station. On the way, however, he suggested to the book maker that the matter could be squared, and ultimately it was ar ranged that the prisoner should meet ms captor' and bring G5 with him. The bookmaker, however. had his suspicious. With the result that the bogus detective was duly arrested
 II Is, of course. somewhat difficult for pockmakers to tell whether man in or dinary clothes who poses as a detective Is genuine of not. and, as they are natu- rally anxious to keep out of the hands of the police, they are often vietimized by men who watch their movements and seize an opportunity when the booknltrser is doing little questionable business ta extort money hy threatening arrest and exposure.
 The same game is often carried on in the small night clubs. However strict and careful proprietor may be- there are sure to be occasions when people other than members of the club are served with drinks. This Is an offense against the law. and 1t is not a difficult matter for the bogus detective. who keeps a sharp eye on these night clubs, to ex- tort money from the proprietor by threatening to report to the authorities the fact that he has sold drinks to non members.
 The proprietor of one of the night clubs off Oxford street, informed the waiter recently that last year he paid nearly

Combining Beauty and Utility

From the Wall Street Journal.
 For the past 20 miles or so," said the reporter to the railroad man, as they were sitting together at the bus mess end of the division superintend- ent's car on a part of the Chesapeake X Ohio before it began to climb the Alleghenies., q have noticed that honeysuckle grows on the banks of the tracks What is the answer? Is some directors wife so romantic as all that?"
 Romantic nothing," said the railroad operator. That honeysuckle is there Tor purely business purposes. You re- call there was an extensive flood on tnls and other roads year ago. That hood washed out lot of our track west of the Alleghenies It also under mined the banks of great deal of the track eastward, where there was not supposed to be any flood at all. But we round the railroad banks which were planted with honeysuckle held against the undermining influence of the ex- cessive rains; while the banks not so protected did a landslide of their own and blocked traffic.
 We are now planting honeysuckle on on the embankments where they are liable to shelve. and are charging 1t up to operating expenses without re- gard to the humane idea that the odor might gbe grateful to the passengers travelling on soft coal road"

A post mortem is then made of the calf and if it shows any lesions other than the cowpox the virus taken from it is destroyed and not put on the market
 The Little Operation This IS so simple as to hardly re- quire consideration, but a few words Will not be amiss. First of all the left arm below the shoulder on the outside
 is usually, but not necessarily. select ed The skin should be washed with
 soap and water until thoroughly clean. rubbed off with a little alcohol, which. however, should be allowed to evapor-
 ate completely from the surface of tho arm before making the little wound The slightest possible wound in depth
 should be made. No blood should flow
 or more than a drop or two. Various
 kinds of little wounds are made A needle is preferred. Several little
 scratches about one-half inch long,
 which may be crossed is a good meth-
 cd. The German method is a good one. Make about four incisions or scratches
 one-half inch long and one-half inch apart The virus should be gently rubbed in with the end of the little tube containing it or with the side of the needle and allowed to dry. No dressing required.
 Claims for Vaccination
 The following is quoted from Rose- nau:
 q. If successful it protects the in- dividual against smallpox for a period
 of time which has not been determined
 automatically for the individual, but which averages about seven years. "2. The protection may be renewed | by a second vaccination. "3. Persons successful vaccinated on 1 two occasions are usually immune 1 against smallpox for life. "4. Vaccinations and revaccinations systematically and generally carried out confer complete protection to a lcommunity or a nation. In other words, while the individual protection is not lalways perfect. the communal protec- ton is absolute.
 "5. A person vaccinated once and at later time contracting smallpox. as rule has the disease in a less se- rious form than unvaccinated persons (varioloid) The degree of possible modification of smallpox is in inverse proportion to the period of time elaps- ing between the vaccination and the attack of smallpox.
 "6 The beneficial effects of vaccin- ation are most pronounced in those in whom the vaccine affection has run it's most typical and perfect course" In next bulletin tuberculosis will be discussed.

 Is Vaccination PRESENT METHODS
 ARE HARMLESS Denies That Other Diseases Originate From Vaccination-Explains How
 Virus Is Prepared and
 How Protected

Smallpox, one of the most dreaded dis eases. is the subject of the health bulle- tin issued this week by Dr. R. M. Gun ningham, city health officer.
 Dr. Cunningham above all other things ayers that vaccination is the best and easiest and most reasonable preventative of smallpox and explains how it is done and how the virus is obtained. He states that the old bogy about other deases be- ing communicated through vaccination Is practically a myth. Next week he will discuss tuberculosis. Bulletin No. 6 is as follows:
 Bulletin No. 6
 SMALLPOX.
 1. Forms of smallpox. True smallpox (a) discreet, when the eruptions do not run together; (b). continent, when the eruption do run together.
 ?. Bloody smallpox. Tn these cases there is bleeding in the eruption and often in the body cavities and from the mucous membrane.
 3. Varioloid. This is smallpox in a per- son who has sometime In the past been vaccinated.
 Cause
 Smallpox is one of the most vrulent
 
 posed, if unprotected by vaccination, are almost invariably attacked. '-Osler
 It attacks all races, ages, occupations, both sexes and conditions in life. 1t is extremely fatal among aboriginal peoples, when first introduced. It is endemic Tn all urban communities in which there is only scattering vaccinations, and often epidemic. The specific cause is not defi- nitely settled. "protozoon'' has been described, but this is not generally ac- cepted as the parasite. It is called for want of a better name the smallpox virus which may be regarded in this disease as a supposititious principle and not demonstrated fact. The disease is contagious in all stages, but particularly during the stage of scaling off. These scaled off particles when dried, go off in the surrounding room and infect peo- pie. furniture cloths, etc. It is probable that smallpox cannot be communicated except by contact or near .ontact-the same room, car, etc. It is not transmit ted to long distances by the air. The generally accepted belief is that the virus can only be introduced into the hody by inhalation or inocuation. There Is very little danger of catching the disease from one house to another, or even from one room to another in the same house, except through the instrumentaity of persons, flies and other things going from the smallpox house or room into other house or room
 The severity and danger of the disease widely differ in different epidemics, In | some epidemcs from 30 to 90 per cent | die; in others very few or none. I am informed by Dr. Rosamond, physician for
