or horns to add to the gaiety of the

are looking forward to the day with as
much pleasure as the children. Some
say they wouldn't miss the treat of

HOW TO MASSAGE
A FLOWER STALK

Flower arrangement is one of the
choice aesthetic pursuits of the wo-
men of Japan. Tt Is a study of lines
of balanced parts, of grouping and, of
course, of colors. 1t will perhaps be
new to American ladies that the flower
artists of Japan are able to turn the
stem of a blossom in any desired di-
rection. A writer says
The method may be readily applied
to all plants with succulent stems,
such as hyacinths, tulips, narcissi, and
lilies in general. We may think of a
vase full of tulips, in which one or two
of the blooms have grown so awk-
wardly that, however they are placed,
they do not seem to fit into the plan.
Nothing in the way of forcing should
be attempted. The only plan is by
very gentle rubbing and bending to
turn the stalks in the desired direc-
ton. Always rub up to the flower
head, and divide the massage into two
or three periods of few minutes. At
the end of this time the stalk will have
taken on the desired turn and the
whole appearance of the flower will
be entirely natural. Bends and twists
in the stem may often be taken away
by massage, although If the deformi-
ties are bad more time must be al.
lotted.
In the cast of flowers with woody
or ibrous stalks we must take up 8
different method. A very ingenious
method of keeping the flowers in the
desired position is tying them Will
pieces of cotton. Thus a wayward
stalk may be drawn towards another,
and the cotton will never show, pro-
viding it is colored to match the pre-
vailing tint Anyone who has not tried
this plan will be delighted with the
ease with which the individual blooms
may be fixed In their right position"

FIRE FROM THE PACIFIC
WAVES OFF JAPAN

The Governor of <Iachijo Island off
Izu, Province, Japan, reports, says the
Kobe Chronicle, that the captain of a
motor fishing boat on the morning of
June 10 saw dense masses of fire and
smoke arise from the waters of the
Pacific ocean from the vicinity of
Harose Rock-a point down the coast
and large chunks of the rock fell
into the sea. A steamer captain, who
also saw it, reported that ats o'clock
in the morning volumes of white
smoke rose at a point about twelve
miles southeast by east of Harose
rock. the smoke ceased to rise after
twenty minutes, but about Z o'clock
columns of white and black smoke
were seen, and again at about IL
O'Clock. The scene fthe eruption
gradually extended until the sky was

Helped TubercuIar Toward
United States Citizenship

In order to help Steve Stanovitch to
gain admission to the State tubercu-
losis sanatorium at Hamburg the Dau-
phin County Poor Board advanced
Steve So with which to take out his
preliminary naturalization papers.
The State won't admit an unnatural
lied foreigner unless he has already
taken preliminary steps to become a
citizen of Uncle Sam. The man had
been in the tubercular ward at the
county almshouse and it was believed
he had a chance of recovery If he
could he treated at one of the State
institutions.
Another foreigner, Ivan Mictic, wa.
taken to Chicago to-day by his brother
after having undergone treatment al

for the last two years. Ivan is well
on the way toward recovery.

ing seen occasionally. The eruption
lasted about two hours. Smoke and
fire were seen twice afterward, but
the steamer was too far off
to see exactly what happened
Another steamer also saw the erup-
ton. 1t was most active at about
11.40 o'clock and shower of volcanic
stones fell into the sea about half a
miles from the steamer.
DR.. Omori, the seismological expert
in the Toxic Imperial University, re-
marks, as quoted in the Asaki, that
the scene of eruption appears to have
been about seven miles east of Ha-
rose Rock, and about 81 miles south of
Hachijo Island. An eruption took
place there in April, 1906, and again
in January last year. 1t lies, it seems,
along the Pacific fault or crack in the
worlds crust.

IN JAPAN
GO A-SOLDIERING

According to investigations conduct
ed by the Census Registration Depart
ment of the Yokohama Municipal
Office, the total number of foreign res
idents in the city at the end of last
year is put at 6,S51, of whom 1889
were males. When compared with
the census taken at the end of the pre-
ceding year, says the Japan Gazette,
the figures show a decrease of 1902.
This is attributed largely to the war,
many having left to serve their coun-
tries at the front. The British sub
jects have decreased by 3S2, the
French by 4S, Russians by 20, Italians
II, Germans by 121. and Austrians by

MILLS FORCED TO REFUSE
ORDERS FOR TONS OF RARe

The steel market continued active
and firm yesterday. There was a con-
tinued heavy demand for steel billets
and bars. but the sold up condition of
mills is such that they have been
forced to refuse contracts calling for
delivery in the current year. The
shortage is becoming acute. Foreign
manufacturers have been finding great
difficulty in securing steel rounds.
There are estimated to be before the
market at present inquiries for about
100000 tons of bars. Mill operations
is increasing steadily and production

Peter Olson has the foundation

Nearly all the road work in this

and most farmers are expecting to
start haying fair week, being in a

The farmers club of West Hope is
one of those over the county making
an entry in the group of exhibits of
farm grains, grasses and other pro-
ducts at the county fair to be held in
Langdon next week. We understand
the Mona club is also to be one of the
contestants for the prizes awarded in

year West Hope may be expected to
figure as having one or more entries
in the farm contest.
Contractor Richard Rudd has the

certainly nothing lacking in the plans
of the new Ridley barn when it comes
to caring for the horses and live stock

pace that his neighbors are likely to
follow in a number of instances before

goes to further demonstrate that even
with careful driving there is a risk
and danger in going down the hill
that makes it unsafe for travel. The
car failed to respond to the brake
when it was set and it was only by
reversing the clutch that a nasty acct
dent was averted. The road ought to
be closed until the steep grade and
the dangerous sharp turns at the bot
tom of the hill have been Strengthened
out.
The West Hope farmers club is to
hold another meeting on Monday of
next week, July 26th the meeting
being called for six o'clock in the
evening when all members having
samples of grain or garden truck to
enter for exhibition at the county fair
are requested to bring it with them
to the meeting. The bundles of green
grass or grain, according to rules,
must measure five inches around.
An item from this place in a recent
issue of the Democrat led to the be-
lief that the meeting of the West
Hope farmers club held for the letting
of the contract to furnish coal to
members of the club, was the same
which Messrs. Stewart, Haw and
others of the better farming move
ment were holding here. The meeting
at which the club contracted with Nj.
O'Reilly for furnishing the coal was
held at another time and none of the

connected with the coal deal.
