Summer the Play Season. The summers have for years been the play season for the natives. For years it was the custom of the In- dians to drink John Bull bitters, a concoction stronger than the far- famed "squirrel" whiskey used in the lumber camps of the North. But the Government has put a stop to this Practice, and life is quieter as a re- sult. Among the local celebrities are Jounfe Elson. Job Chapish and Jos- serbroff, who accompanied Mrs. ubbard during her exploration of Labrador. Elson was the Indian who was with Hubbard and Wallace, and shared in their hardships in the wilds of the great North, when Hubbard starved to death and Wallace was saved from the same fate by the al- superhuman efforta of Elson. | The f supply became so short be- fore they reached civilization that they had to boil their moccasins for soup after the supply of bones gave out.

L. J. Tweedie Is Very Popular | In New Brunswick. : Hon. L. J. Tweedie, who has just been appointed Lieutenant-Governor wicker by birth, having been from the Grammar School in his na- tive town and the Presbyterian Aca- demy he studied law with Hon. John M. Johnstn, and was called to the Bar in 1870. In 1874 he contested | Northumberland county for the Pro- vincial House, and was elected by an overwhelming majority. Mr. Tweedie was only 24 at the time, but he soon proved a useful and able member of the Assembly, and particularly dis- tinguished himself in the debates on the maintenance of New Brunswick's JQon-sectarian schdol system. Defeated in 1876, but re-elected in 1886, Mr. Tweedie from that time held his seat '! continuously in the Provincial As- sembly until his withdrawal a few ove ago. In 1890 he entered the Blair inistry as Surveyor-General, and on the removal of Mr.! Blair to the Do- minion Cabinet became Provincial Secretary under Hon. Mr. Mitchell. In 1900, upon the resignation of Hon. H. R. Emmerson to enter Federal polities, Mr. Tweedie was asked to ead the Provincial Ministry, and ac- cepted the honor. Since then he has conducted the affairs of New Bruns- wick in a manner highly satisfactory to the people of the Province. Revive Shipping Interests. ! One of the advantages of being a Canadian is that you are always be- ing reminded that you are not the only pebble on the beach. Ontario is a fine Province, and the pride of its sons is justified. But there are others. ! Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia are rivals whose claims none can afford to ignore. , When the West, in its turn, is d to ind in 1 it, it 'may be reminded that'there is an East. Just now there is a stirring of the dry bones in the Maritime Pro- vineces, which have given us some of the greatest figures the public life of Canada, as well as great ship-own- ers and merchant princes. A revival of the shipping interests of these Pro- vinces is at hand, and re are in- dustrial resources to be, developed, with the aid of coal and 'water pow- f ote. + Premier Murmy of Nova Sectia, these possibilities, has intro- duce a measure Yor technical educa- tion, sM he will be warmly support ed by the Nova Scotian captains of in- dustry, who are fully as alive and as broad-minded as our own.

SPAIN'S ROYAL HEIR. Elaborate Prepartions Being Made For the Auspicious Event. Preparations are being rapidly com- pleted for the arrival of the expected heir to the throne of Spain. TD will be the one in which Alfonso XII slept. It rests on four Corinthian columms, and is sur- mounted by two pillars bearing the royal crown oo Spain, which support curtains of old Brussels lace. he coverings for the little bed are T hand-embroidered, some with gar. lands of rosebuds and others with but- terflies -in white silk. By desire of King Alfonso, all the baby clothes are-of Spanish make, the majority being the products of the marvelous painstaking industry of Spanish nuns. The sisters of the Santa Isabel Hos- pice, .of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, of the Convent of St. Catharine and of the Inclusa are vying with each other in this work. Scores of charming little garments of the finest silk, flannel nain- sook, trimmed with lace raised embroidery, are being made. They bear the royal crown in relief, and are adormed with satin 'ribbons of whitevand pale rose pink.' Queen Victoria Eugenie has shown a preference for Valenciennes lace and broderie Anglaise. Many of the trimmings used are of old Mechlin yh which has in the possession of the Spgn- ish royal family since the days of Ferdinand VIL. The christening robe is made by a Madrid firm. It is lavishly adorned with Irish lace, and is described as * a dream of beauty." Hard Times For Dogs. More than 6,000 lost and stray dogs were admitted to the Dogs' Home at Battersea during the first six weeks of this year. This number is nearly 40 per cent. higher than the admis- sions for the corresponding period of last year. The majority of them have already d th the lethal chamber to aed in spite of the recent exten- "Although the number of admissions has increased so lutpely, the number of persons visiting the home fallen offi--a combination of cireum- stances which suggests that many dog owners have been chary of assuming the responsibilities which the new act im on them. excessive immigration, how- ever, is acting very detrimentally on! the finances of the home, which de- pends entirely on subscriptions and the sale of unclaimed dogs. In Chili.' There are some oddities in Chili connected with the sphere of woman. One is that women act as conductors on the street cars.

J. C. Phillips, another farmer, has been burning manure; E. Shipman has burned wheat for months, while T. Brant, in the town of Craik, tore down his barn and sheds for fuel. Overcome With Cold. ear Cartwright, Man., Messrs. N. Canfield and D. Askew set out one night in the jitense cold in response to a summons for Mr. Askew for veterinary. The team of hor- ses gob the trail, although they wandered for a long time near it.

Mr. Chnfeld set out to over take them, while his companion un- dertook to follow the telephone line to Cartwright, He followed a pur, however, which led to the house B. Thompson. The latter immediate- ly went im search of Mr. Canfield, whom he finally discovered lying be- side the cutter in an almost lifeless state. He had exhausted himself with the horses and returning to the cut ter was overcome with the cold. He was in its grip for lat nearly eight hours, and his feet, and hands were severely frozen. His feet may have to be amputated. Odd-Fuel For Fires. The town authorities at Davidson h seized the supplies ot bridge lumber and. ties. The schools, churches and business houses were closed. The leading hotel, the Great West, kept up ita fires with straw. At Caron farmers burnt their fences, and families "doubled" up" in their houses so as to save firing. The citizens of Pense, Sask., found it necessary to use hero- ic measures to relieve the fuel situa- tion. After burning oats, grain, ete., until they were tirad of it, sixty men gathered around a train and demand ed a car of 'coal of the conductor, in ch: of several such cars. As the people refused to allow the train to proceed until they had secured a sup- ply the car wae taken off. A commit- tee, including the coal ler, took charge of the unloading, and full pay- ment was made for all the fuel taken. The Swift Current Sun says: --Jim Reagan reached town on Baturday from Kircaldie's ranch, 70 miles' northwest of here. He was five days on the road, and two days and one night on the prairie without food or fire. He unsaddied his horse and let it go, and covered himself with his saddle blanket. The horse came back and woke him up. He put the saddle on her and followed her afoot, and she brought him to Mahoney's more dead than alive. His underwear was frozen so stiff that it had to be cut off. His face was also badly frozen. Wood, But No Matches. In North Dakota a young woman | living alone on a homestead was dis- covered to have perished of cold, while the stores were packed with fuel. The mystery of the tragedy was explained when it was seen that there | was not a match in the house. | In Macleod the long and but short. ly-interrupted cold weather has done some deadly work among the range | stock. It is pitiable to see huge four- vear-old steers that should be fine | beef, staggering from cold, hunger and exhaustion. With their feet frozen and eyes red with blood they go about looking for a place to lay their weary bones--a place that many have already found, and which many more will find soon whether the cold con. tinues or not. The town has been com- pelled to employ a rider to herd the stock from the town. He is kept rid- ing all the day. Range cattle came in by hundreds and some took posses- sion of the sidewalks, which they re- fused to give up to any passer-by. Sev- eral persons had narrow escapes from those désperate roamers of the plains, exasperated, not by the acts of the persons they seek to punish, but driv- en to desperation by the wold and want of food and water. Although staggering in weakness they show a decided malice towards the race that has neglected them. They have come from as far north as Deer. Whole Train Frozen Stiff.
