What Man Eats Determines Shade of Skin, What you eat determines your col- or, according to Bergfield, a German investigator--not 'necessarily that you yourself could effect any changé of color, but your ancestors for thousands of years have uncon sciously been influenced by the food they have eaten and the drinks they have drunk. For instance, were black, says chief diet was of vegetables and fruit, he explains, and these same foods contain mangapates that are not unlike iron. Dark browns and blacks result from this combination. It is a scientific fact that negroes who drink milk and eat meat are pever as dark as those whe eat vege- tables. He goes on to add that the Indian is red because for hundreds and per haps thousands of years he has tak- en into his system the haemaglobin or ved material in the blood of ani mals which he has killed for their food. Again, Mongols are yellow because they have descended from races that were fruit eatingsand who, making their way into the deepest nooks and yrildest plains of Asia, developed into shepherds and lived largely on milk Of course it is known that milk con lains a certain per cent. of chlorine and has a decidedly bleaching effect Iu (he case of Caucasians they are s.id to have become white by adding salt to their foods, which common sclt is a strong chloride and power ful in bleaching the skin.--Chicago Tribune men Their the original Bergfield LITTLE HELP NEEDED. Large Supply of Harvest Laborers in West. Winnipeg, July 29.---A meeting of the passenger heads of the Canadian Northern railway, Canadian Pacific rallway, and Grand Trunk Pacific was held at the C. P. R. offices to consid- er the gueption of bringing to the harvest fields of the west farm la- borers from the east. Ii was expect- ed that the number the railways will be called upon to bring (his year will b# e derably smaller than in the past. Conditions are such in the west that there is already on the spot a considerable number of men ready for work during harvest. Only isolat- ed districts report an insufficient supply of labor, while a very large proportation report the supply great- er than the demand. It is certain that the migration from the south of the line will be negligible this year. What help is needed will come from eas tern Canada and the cities of the west and middle west. At to-day's meeting of the railways passenger agents, arrangement were completed for the shipment of these men to the harvest field, . Some Doubt Herve. Sirattord Qourter.

Toronto Mail and Empire, From Mrs. Helen C. Gamsby, who wrote from King street west, King- ston, on the 14th July, I have receiv- ed the following very interesting let- ter, As' it seemed to me< that it 'would add to the interest of the let- ter to publish with it a letter from Miss Helen M. Merrill on the subject of its contents, through the kindness of Miss Merrill I am" permitted to publish a letter from that lady to Mrs. Gamsby, which will follow this letter to me. : Dear Flaneur.--In 4 recent copy of The Mail and Empire I read with much interest a communication from the pen of Miss Helen Merrill (an old friend of mine, by the way). Her remarks W. H. Robertson's book on the U.E. Loyalists have fill ed me with a desire to possess a copy -of his book. The late Edmund Morris, of Tor- onto, whose untimely death last sum- mer took away a very clever person- ality from the realm of letters, was himself preparing a brochure on the United Empire Loyalists of Adolphus town, and tracing their descendants. I had some correspondence with him on the subject of my own family, the Hagermans, and also the Fishers, my great-grandmother Hagerman having been a sister of Judge Fisher. Miss Merrill in ber remarks re- garding that faniily is in error when she states that Mrs. Thomas Kirk- patrick was mother to Judge Figher, as she was his daughter. I have in my possession the old Hagerman fa- mily Bible, whichi&nrossed the lake with that family when they came from New York. In the handwriting of my great grandfather Hagerman, are entries dating back to 1761. These entries, include marriages, births, and deaths in the Hagerman family. Besides, 1 have a Bible, in- teresténg-#fom the fact that it was used in the law office of the late Thomas Kirkpatrick, and my uiicle, the late Chief Justice Hagerman, for the purpose of swearing their clients the signatures of these two earl) lawyers of the province are inscribea in the book, and it bears the eviden ce of having seen a good deal of hard usages, being well thumbed and ink stained. My greai-grandmether Hagerman, before mentioned, had a romantic career. She was being sent by her father, Col. Fisher, to be educated in Canada, when about twelve yeas of age, and thie Revolutionary war/hav- ing begun, she and her escor 4 captured, and taken prisofiers New York, where my grandmother was detained for four years, and not allowed to rejoin her family for that length of time. It was here she made the acquaintance of her husband, Ni- jagerman, with whem she came the lake to Adolphus- town. It is probable that her influ- ence had something to do with the emigration of this family, as"one half of them remained in New York, és- pousing the Revolutionary cause, and their descendants, the Grosbeaks, a well known New York family, are living there to-day. 0 Dear Mrs. Gamsby,--I have hau the pleasure through the courtesy of the "Flaneur" of reading your inter esting letter of the 14th inst., and al so the opportunity to drop you a line concurrently with its publication. I am glad to have word of you again In my communication to the "Flan eur" of June 20th, to which you have kindly referred, I was in error, but not quite as you have indieated. Col- onel Macdonald was, as probably vou know, the-first actual settler in north Marysburgh township, Prince Ed- ward County. With him were a bro ther's widow and her three daugh- ters, one of whom married Judge Fisher, another Captain Prinyer, and the third a Mr. Kennedy, Judge Fis her had two daughters, Henrietta, named after her mother, Henrietta Macdonell, and Helen, both of whom married Kirkpatricks, Stafford and Thomas, the latter being the father of Sir George. Some day 1 shall write you at length relating to the Mac- donell family in Marysburgh. In the meantime will you kindly send me, if not too much trouble, a copy of the entries in the Hagarman - family Bible For several years I have been collec ting material for an historical and genealogical work on the United Em pire Loyalists of Canada, and pure pose advertising for the loan-of orl ginals; or for copies of all old papers, documents, etc, relating to the U.E Loyalists. I am also making a col- lection of photographs of and data pertaining to all old houses either built or inhabited by U.E. Loyalisis The work is most interesting, and 1 shall be grateful for any assistance given: me. - Faithfully yours, HELEN M. MERRILL 4 Prince Arthur Ave. Toronto, (* News From Elgin. Elgin, July 27.
