At that time resident white ladies could i be counted on the finger of one hand, j and the subject of costuming the natives I was not discussed. "Now there are scores of whites, eon- j ving of matrons. blushing spring and summer daughters, autumn's bashful ; maids, to say nothing of sensitive old gentlemen, and the six year of eiviliza- tion has not had a salutary effect in producing a native tendency to clothing. The unkempt and unclothed savage presents himself at every corner, store and market. "How are we to mend matters! I think a good way would be for the government to authorize the slaughter of a few thousand head of antelope have the hides prepared (by prisoners if necessary) and distributed to the poor, The Centralia folks say there was no unclad savages for costumes."

Shares His Legacy With Them, But They Lose by His Death. MELBOURNE, March 18.-Mr. S. IJoyd of Lloyd's Missing Friends agency relates the following story of a lost fortune. His firm was instructed to inquire for a man named Whittaker, heir to $150, 000, and laHt heard of previously as a patient at a hospital in Mayrborough. An advertisement was inserted in a news paper, and a few days biter an aged cripple answered it. He proved to be Whittaker, and when told of his good fortune, insisted that the money nhoulu be shared by five comrades who had eared for him since the accident which rendered him unfit to work. The firm agreed, and Bent Whittaker to a hotel. He died there of heat apo plexy, and bis fortune passed, as there was no will to a brother in England. Always Keeps Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in His House. "We would not be without Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. It is kept on hand continually in our home," says W. YV. Kearney, editor of the Independent, Lowry City, Mo. That is just what every family should do. When kept at hand ready for instant ue. a cold may be checked at the outset and cured in much less time than after it has be come settled in the system. This rem edy is also without a peer for croup in children, and will prevent the attack when given as soon as the child be comes hoarse, or even after the croitpy cough appears, which can only be done when the remedy is kept at hand.

Dr. Cantlio, while taking the view that the people of (ireat P.iilaiu are not as jet played out, raises a warning ling er. He says: "We must attend to physical ellic-i.-ncy or we may find ourselves played out before long." HE WOULD TRANSPOSE FISH. He Plans to Have Seafish Live in Fresh Water. PARIS, March 18 An ichthyologist who has been devoting a lifetime to the study of fish n-'ur Hotilogne claims to have discovered a process of unsalting sea fish without hurling them and, in fact, without their apparently feeling it. They are to be gradually accustomed more and more, little by little, to di luted salt water, until at last they arc able to live quite happily without any salt about them at all. Eventually the ichthyologist hopes in this manner to stock all of the rivers of France with mackerel, conger, cod and haddock, though he has not yet maintained that it will be possible some day to catch lobsters, crabs and oysters in meadow brooks. Conversely fresh water fish are to lie brought up to enjoy sea water at 30 grains of salt per liter. Thus one day the smacks of Normandy may bring hauls of trout, carp, pike, gudgeon and sticklebacks up from the channel. In short the ichthylogist's ilreiini seems to be to transfer all of the fish of the sea to river and lake and to stock the sea with fish from the rivers, though just what he hopes to accomplish by o doing it is difficult to say. "At seventy-five a woman should be in her prime," says Mrs. Lavinia I.ovclt, of Tarrytown, spry and hearty at the age of 102.

An A-torian reporter happened in the store of our well known dinggist, Mr. I harlcs Rogers, the other day, and in speaking of the sudden changes in the weather and (he sickness which seems to be so prevalent Mr. Rogers remarked, "Such weather cannot help but result in coughs, colds, bronchial troubles, the grippe and other sicknesses. This weath er is also bad fot old people and those who are run down or have a tendency to any weakness or disease." ('out inning Mr. Rogers said: "it seems fo us that you should warn every man, woman and child in Astoria, especially the aged and run down, through the columns of the Astorian, to build them reives up it nl take proper precautions to ward off sickness, and there would be very much less suffering and fewer deaths in Astoria this winter." When asked what I hey considered the most universally sit ssful medi cine they had ever sold in their store for that purpose, without hesitation, Mr. Rogers answered, "Our modern cod liver oil preparation, Vinol, anil if peo ple only knew what a grand pixilec tion to health it is, we would nol have clerks enough in our store lo supply the demand. Yon know it is not a piilenl medicine, us everything in it is mimed on the label, and it does not contain any oil to clog the system and upset the stomach, but, it docs contain every one of the medicinal, curiilive mill body building elements of cod liver oil iie tually taken from fresh cods' livers.
