Watertown, N.Y., July 18.--The most exciting fish story, that is well auth enticated, heard so far this season comes from Massena, where Orville A Babeock, a famous fisherman of that section; had a battle royal the other night with a monster sturgeon. A few nights ago Orville, who was passing near the racks of ome of the Massena canal power-houses, V saw a sturgeon of gigantic proportions in the foaming waters near the racks, Orville took a rope and, after --a half hour's trial, succeeded in petting a noose over the sturgeon's tail. For another half hour he fought to tire the fish out, and finally, when it lay quiet against the racks, he got down, rested one knee on the girt of the gate-house wall, and, with his shoulder against the racks, reached down into the water to pull the stur geon out. After hauling the fish well up out of the water, he found that he was unable to seewire a hold lower down on the slimy monster, on ac count of having to cling to the girt with one hand. He go i rip | : : + got a firm grip i sume charge of the boys and look af with his teeth on the tail of the fish, but the denizen of the deep gave a | flop and tore loose, leaving a junk of | tail between Orvil jaws. After an other twenty minutes' wrestle, the | noose was slipped over the head of the fish, and Orville hauled him out. He tipped the beam at 10d pounds, A Fine Trip.

In 1800 the population of European nations was 985.000,000, of which 26. 000,000 was French; in 1900 Europe's population was. 313,000,000 and only 32,000,000 was French. In other words, France, 1100 years ago had twenty-six per cent, of the population of Europe nnd i46w has only eleven per cent In_fifty veais France's population has increased 'only 3,701,000 while Italy has increased 9.000000 and other Furopean nations in. even | greater ratio With their country rapidly on the way to becoming a third rate power, French economists and statesmen are doing everythingpossible fo learn the Leause for the low birthrate and to find means of increasing it.

Egerton Ryerson Thinks Canada | Has Splendid Opportunity There, Rev, Egerton Ryerson, M. A, an An- glican clergyman, who is home on fur lough from Japan, where he has been engaged in mission work for several years, was the speaker at the lunch- 'eon of the Empire Club in Toronto the other day. In his opening remarks he made special reference 10 the great success achieved by the Japanese in the present war with Russia. He was véry glad to think that the people of Great Britain and her Colonies are showing sympathy with Japan. In this way, he said, we should not show our self-respect for Japan simply because of her great military achievements, but upon her achievements in peace and her desire to become more acquainted with Great Britain in adopting great | English ideas in different parts of the nation, In referring to the products of the country, Mr. Ryerson said that bread is used there a great deal more than ever before. As a result, it has meant a great increase in the amount of the flour imported dally, the great bulk | | of which comes from the United States. In this respect he thought that Can- ada was sdmewhat back In.getting her flour introduced there. But the re- cent exhibition held in Japan, at which Canada had a splendid display, had done much to Increasé¢ the popularity of Canadian flour, In 'speaking of the native costumes of the people there, he said that it Is being gradually discarded In some parts of the country, in fact, the busi- ness men have adopted our clothes be- cause they are more convenient for the rush of modern mercantile life. Some- | time ago, an attempt was made in To- kio to adopt the western dress among the women. In many other ways Jap- an is making great strides. For in- | stance her army is based upon the | system of Germany; the law, much af- ter the style of France, and the postal system like than of the United States, The postal system in Japan, he de clared was the finest in the world. The free postal delivery is the chief fea- ture of the system. It Is well estab- lished in all parts of the country, and the letters in the rural districts are delivered the same day as in the cities. They are for the most part distribut- {ed by boys in the towns, who are obliged to keep on a fair trot while | delivering the letters. The railway system is based upon that of England, but to some extent it is better than the English system. In Tokio the railway coaches and elec tric cars are superior to anything he had ever traveled in. Japan has adopt ed the ideas of the western civilization generally, and she is gradually chang: ing activity in her methods of thought. The educational system is much like that. of the .United States, and the schools are equipped with all the lat- est appliances. The curriculum for the schools reaches a very good standard. In fact, the ising generation will be largely imbued with thegideas of the western civilization. The power of heredity Is not so very great after all, and the children who bave been brought up in _our own ways of living will not be v different from the Eng- lish race. There are about one thous: and newspapers and periodicals in dif ferent parts of Japan. The papers are up to date, and as an Mustration the speaker sald that an account of the big | Toronto fire appeared in the papers In Japan the day after it occurred. Mr, Ryerson also spoke on the Christian | civilization of the country, which is | doing much to influence the people there. Mining Division Established. By an order-in-council passed re- | cently a new mining division, known as the "Temiskaming Mining Divi. sion," has been established It will | contain the territory in which silver | and cobalt ores are being mined, and also a large tract to the north. The | head office of the division will be at Halleybury, and it will be presided , over by G. T. Smith, who has just been appointed inspector, at a salary of $1,400 a year. The regulations governing mining in 'the district will be very similar to those In force in the Michiplcoten Min- { ing Division, There will be some | | 98c.--Ready-to-Wears--98c.

The territory comprised in the dis: trict is bounded on the east by Lake Temiskaming, and the Ontario and Quebec boundary as far us Lake Abl- tibl. The northern lmit runs from , Lake Abitibi due west from a point { eight miles north of the outlet of the i Abitibi River to the Nipissing and Al- goma boundary, then jogs east to the Great Northern bend of the Montreal River, whence it follows the stream to ! the southern limit of the Township of | Coleman. From this point the south- em boundary runs eastward to the boundary of the Lumsden and Booth timber limit, and thence to the third and fourth concessions of the Town: ship of Lorrain, Canada's Red Men, An American exchange says: The Indians in Canada are much like their brethren In this country in point of civilization, but they behave them- selves and play a useful part in the communities where they live, The Do- minion Government has long main. tained schools for thes children of the forest and taught them the arts of farming and other industries. In the older Provinces of Canada the Indians have grown up with the white men and have Inereased in population, Race suleide 1s not threatening them, and they are not a menace to law and or- der, for there is ne competition between the red men and -the whites, In the new northwestern Provinces the In dians were not wanted by the original white settlers, but there has been room for both races, and the Indians have increased numemcally along with the whites and are everywhere holding their own. The present Indian popu- lation Is efMimated at 108,000 by the Canadian superintendent of Indian Affairs, an Increase of 9,000 since "1897 as reported by the Indian Department in that year. ------ Lice in the Henhouse, A cheap and effective lice remedy is said to be a pound of moth balls dis- solved in a gallon of kerosene and ap plied to the roosts once a month, "Mother's Bread," made by Toye, is like unto the kind "mother used to wake." : Take Dr. Chown's Little Pink Lax- 41.9 Clarence Street, Up-to-date Policies. atives for a torpid, slugeish liver 25. | $8 ae : . .
