A doctor was promptly called, and soon relieved the lad, but the little girl did not get over the etiects I or a tiny or so. 1 lie moral of this seems to be to pi. ice till dangerous substances out of the reach of chi'dreu.

But little work has yet bwen done in the camp. But uew-comers of experience and means have just come into the camp, and aregoiug about development in in telligent way that must produce re sults. The camp was discovered about two years ago by the Loftua brothers.
