Sometimes the peasant women put large wooden buck cts of water before their threshold: a full vessel is a sign of good luck.

GRUEso,iE FIND ON
 ARISTABLE ISLAND

In deserted shack, in the bushes on Aristable Island. near Surf Inlet, Captain Tom Peterson found the dead body of a man. There was no stove, no untensils in the shack, and judg- ing from the clothing worn by tha dead man. it is probable he had been there since last summer
 He had no gun. although there Wef ? empty shells lying around outside. but his clothing carried two watches. There were some papers on the body too, but they had gotten wet and were undecipherable. Such was the story told by Captain Tom Peterson last night. The matter has been reported 10 the provincial police department Captain Peterson buried the body, b. fore the left the island. and judging from the length of the dead man s .,air which was five or six inches long he must have been away from the centers of civilization for some con siderable periOd.--Rupert News.

 RUSSIANS AT FRONT

PETROGRAD, May "A telegra l received here from Riga indicates that the Germans are continuing unremit- tingly their attempts to barley with the Russian soldiers. At one place the Germans displayed a card on phich was written: Russians: Do not at tack. We also will not attack"
 On many sectors of the Minsk front in the last few days the Germans have not fired a slot, evidently basing fond hopes on the result of the Rus sian soldiers conference at Minsk. Airplanes have dropped proclamations which have alleged popular move ment in Germany in favor of ending the war, and the initiation of peace negotiations mutually on honorable conditions. Dispatches from Kiev re- port that arrivals from the front are recounting many instances of parties of, Germans and Austrians carrying red and white flags striving to reach the Russian trenches. Some reached the Russian wire entanglements and were taken prisoners. They told of a desire in the Teuton ranks for an im- mediate peace.

MOST SENSITIVE NERVES.
The Two That Can Cause the Greatest
 Agony of Pain.

Agony of Pain.
 Which part of the human body is the most sensitive to pain?
 A sharp definition must be drawn here between irritation and pain. Irri- tation is not pain. but only a frequent cat:se of it. Thus crumb lodged fin the larynx near the vocal cords pro- duces violent irritation and prolonged coughing, which often result in actual pain. So. too, an insect or speck of dust in the eye sets up violent irr,:a- tion and inflammation. followed by acute pain.
 Of the surface of the Gody the finger tips and the end of tbe tongue ar" most sensitive For inS'ance. a burn on the fingers is much more painful than one on the back would be. while one on the tongue would be more pain full still.
 Deep wounds are not painful, as q rule. save as regards the surface in jury
 Of pains not caused by external 'n jlrics neuralgia of the fifth nerve. the J!ic which supplies thc skin of the head and face. is the most intense. It has frequently driven people mad for the i.nc being. and sufferers have been known to cut and even burn the flesh in desperate attempts to relieve it.
 The rupture of the branches of the dental nerve in tooth dra win" also cai>eS a"ouy so intense that it has been stated that no human being could endure it for more than two seconds at q time.-pearsOn's Weekly.

EVILS OF RDENOIDS.
These Growths Are Real Menace to
 the Health of . Child.

Not every child that is backward at school. that breathes through his mouh has dull eyes. Il shoi, u:., ef lp. prominent upper teeth or has drawn, tired expression about the face has adcnoidS, says state board of health bulletin. But this cuh;iitinn should lead parent to suspect adenoid growth, and it should not be dismissed till Il thorough examination has proved that such is lot the case.
 Adcnoids are a small, soft. reddish growth which colnes ill the hack pa.i of the throat where the nose and throat join. A child who has adeno1s brcathes with his mouth open. has ire quent colds and may have carache of- ten or become deaf. It is not infrc- Qrcnt that adcnoils dull the expression of the eye. destroy the resonance of the voice and distort the facial eXpres- sion so as to produce blank, idi0tic stare. They hinder mental develop ment by interfering with proper physi- cal development. For that reason 're- peaters' at school are frequently said to be afflicted with adenoids.
 The best time to remove adenOids is when they are first recognizable to q physician. If they remain longer they do harm. They cause child to have colds" often and make him more sus- ceptible to diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough. Further more. if he gets any of these diseases they are likely to be severe with him and leave him even worse afflicted.
 Cold, fresh air breathed through the nose is needed to prevent adenoid growth. It is needed also to prevent adcnoids returning after an operation. Fresh air taken in through the nose prevents as well as cures adenoi,ls.

What Makes Business Success.

There is always a premium in busi ness On the man who does his work painstakingly," says J. O. Armour ill the American Magazine, with com pleteness and finality. He is the man who will be trusted with more aid more responsibility. up to the limit of his capacity. The man who. informs himself adequately about his firm. its methods. it's policies and its products. who does his work so well that no one needs follow him up to patch the rag; ged edges. is on the safest. surest and shortest road to achievement"

ENGINE AND AIR PUMP
 FOR ALASKA GOLD HILL.

The Admiral Farragut brought an oil engine and air pump for the Alas ka Gold Hill Mining company and they will be moved over to the prop erty at once. The tunnel on this property has penetrated the hill to such distance that the pump is nee essary to drive out the gases arising from blasting operations. The air pipe was taken down to the mine some time ago, and it is expected to have the machines in operation within a few days.
