There are limes during Ihe day when the hostess will be occupied with household duties and errands and the guest can entertain herself if such lliings are placed convenicnl for her. A pitcher of water is anollier impor- tant adjunct to her room; there is no greater comfort than to find drinking water always within easy reach. It is by liltlo llionghtful acts that the tactful ho.stess is distinguished, and il marks Ihc difference between too much free- dom and too much formality in enter- taining a hou.se guest.

She .says: "For some years Annie had not been well. She would take spells o( dizziness and headaches that would last for several days, and her whole body would become dry and hot as though she was burning up wilh fever. Her lips would swell until near the bursting point, and then when Ihe fev- er would leave her the outer skin of Ihc lips would peel off. She doctored wilh two different iloetors, but they did not succeed in curing her, and Ihe trouble seemed gradually lo be growing wor.so. Then we began giving her Dr. Willi- aiiLs' Pink I'ills and under this Ireat- ment she has recovered her health.

An Australian girl named Bessie Siiiilh, who had married a Frenchman and aftiM-wards found him to be an .\ptiche, or thief, has been re.scucd by the police under dramatic circumslances. The police were searching for stolen properly at a house frwiuented by "Apaches" when Ihey heard a woman shriek. They burst open a door anil found n young woman lying on Ihe lloor wilh a severe wound in her shoulder. The w'inilow was open, and on looking out Ihi'y saw an ".\pache" named I'ei- lior, escaping by the waler pipe. He was "wauled" for .several crimes, but got clear away over Iho roofs.

Till fnotirig up a running account lo see how il stands." ject of whelhcr the really rich pockets 01 gold on Vancouver Island have yet bc'ii discovered. In the l.ecch Hiver ex- citement, about 18G'J, a gold e.xcilmcnt ill which several .N'anaiiiioilos now liv- ing figured, more than a nuilion and lliree-<iuurlcr dollars' worth of gold was taken out. From lime to time one runs across old traditions of the fabulous deposits of gold that e.xisl on th,': island. It's an old slory, that of the days when the iN'anaimo Indians hunied with bullets made of pure gold, but it is perhaps new to some of the younger generation. Chief Louis Good, of the iNunaimo tribe of Indians, tells the following story:â€" "There is a story handed down from generation lo generation in my tribe,' .saul he, "that somewhere on Vancou- ver Isl.'ind and about it.s centre, and n.ached from F.nglisliman's Bivcr, there i- a lillle stream of waler and near lis end a small falls. Over this falls Ihe gold literally falls all the time, and one has only to hold a basin under it lo catch some of Ihe golden grains that turns Ihe white man's head. At the base of the falls is olmosl a solid mass ct gold, and many an Indian has been known to cut away in solid chunks, the precious metal. "Out of Ihe gold the Indians used to coll. ct here Ihey made golden bullets, little realizing llie va'ue of the precious stuff, wilh which they had hunted their diiily bread. Indeed, when a small boy, I knew of a deer that was killed by an .MbernI man, and w'hcn it was cut up a .solid gold bullet was found under the hide, .showing Ihal the deer had been shot once before," r.hlef Gndo says there are dozens cf Indians who can conlirm this, II is a matter of common history that in If'G.' two FreiiOhmen left Victoria to hunt for this stream of gold. They n-lurned some months later wilh well filled pockets, but no money or persu- asion could induce them to undertake tlie trip again, and their faces blanch- o' Willi terror whenever they spoke of the wonderful FIdorado stream. This bears out Ihe superstition ct the Indians thai this slream is super- natural-something lo be dreaded and on that account very seldom hove any of them ever been induced to join the various parties that have sol out to in- vfcsligale the wonderful workings. "Jack" Mahoney, of Big Onalicum. forty miles north of Nanaimo, left years aL'o lo guide an expodilion to the place, but it was a failure. About eighteen years ago a parly of Nanaimo men con- sisling of Messrs. Harry Austin, Sam Fox. fieorge and "loe" ."sage and Bob- eil Freethy. left to .see If tliere wn.s any gold in the vicinity, but 'oimd the roads leoding lo the creek almost impa.ssable and were compelled to retire. Chief Good is an excellent believer in Ihe tale, and many times has tried lo locate Midas stream. He first heard the slory when a small boy. about forty- live years ago. When (luilo young, arid old Indian who )irofc,sseil a knowledge of the locolion of Ihe stream offered lo show some of the more daring of Ihe Indians who were brove enough lo for- get llie superstition regarding Ihe ill- luck thai would allcnd any one allempt- inf; to find it just where Ihe stream was. Louis Good was in Ihc party, but Iho night after they left I'aiksville, (wenly- Ihre miles front Nnnaimo, it snowed heavily, and Ihe old Indian guide, taking this as an omen of bad luck, lurncil back, and not until Ihe following year could he bo persuaded lo guide the parly to it. The following year Ihe guide went on n message for Governinent Assessor Bates lo Ihe adjacent Islands mid was never heard of afterwards. Before this, h iwevcr. Chief Good obtained from him a plan of Ihe country about Ihe stream. This ho afterwards lost, ImU remember- ei' enough to make htm believe he could find it. Thl<! year he will make a trip Inlo Ihe interior of the Island in search o: It. In the pnrls where he goes he has a cache of roFfee, beans nnd sugar, which he placed Ihere Ihirly years ago, and which were still fit for consumiilion when examined two years aco. This old Indian told Louis that the stream wns first found by Ihe hiinler who had traced the nniiunl to Ihe lillle stream. While reaching down lo the mile waler fall he noiced Ihe golden grains at the bo'lom. nnd nt\ot Ihnl for a lip« lime the Indians used lo go there lo gather ;^ ' gold to mouJd ioia builds, until one year a whole parly of them' gol lost in attempling to roach it and were never heard of again, and over s;nco then tlie Indians kept shy of thoi slream, iinlil finally its exact locationi became unknown lo them. Of course,! ail Ihs tale will be received wilh an in-' ciedulous smile, but Ihere are many old residents in .N'anaimo lo-day who will tell you of in Iheir younger days seeing, Indians with chunks of gold who did; not know its value and who said Ihal' i; had been cul from the base of the golden waterfall by their fathers. JEWISH LANDOWNERS. In Europe They Hold 2i8 Times as Mucll as They [>id 10 Years Ago. The anti-Jew faction in Bu.ssia de- clares that even wilh the present restric- tions the Jews have managed to acquire a large iinrtion of land, for which the following figures are ipio'cd in the Jew- ish magazine, the Menorah : "Within the Pale Ihc real estate of Iho lews advanced from IG.IMX) dessialins in isoo to 118,000 in 1870. :170,0(X) in ISSO, 537 .(HJO in ISOO. and to 1.2G3,()00 in 19(».

"In European Bussia outside the Pale Jewish landholdings is said to have in- creased 248 limes in forty years in the following proportion : In 1860, 3,000 dessialins; in 1.S70, 18,000 dessialins; in 188(1, %,000 dessialins; in 18'J0. 262,000 di-ssialins, and in 1900, 745,000 dessia- Inis." ' .According to these statistics the total holdings -of the Jews throughout the Bu.s.sian Empire, which only amounted to 70,(XX) dessialins in 1860, reached in 1900 the high figure of 2,381057 dessia- lins, out of which the Jews own os their, property 1,4I5,0(X) de-ssiatins, while the remaining 935.(XX) dessialins arc renle4 by them as tenants. / AS OBDKBl-D. .\ wel-known lawyer, whom we may- call John Jackson, because that is not his name, recently engaged a new ofllce- l.oy.
