The looking-glass cure must be tak- en imaliaiely the sufferer steps on board ship. The prescription directs the patient, when the first indescrib- able feeling comes on, to take out the Jacket looking-glass and look himself air and square in the eyes The result is alleged to be that the rolling of the ship, and even the smell of the engines, will pass unnoticed, snd a little perseverance will trans- form a bad sailor into a good one. "Is is a very curious faet, and one for which it is difficult to account," said a noted city physician recently, "that a casual glance in the looking- Sines may arrest geasickness. It may be that the woe-begone countenance is responsible fot introducing a vein of humor, and the sufferer resolves to 'cheer up.' "Personally I think there is a more scientific reason. It is well known among sailors that the rise and fall of the horizon is responsible for the early stages of this distressing mal- ady. Physicians in consequence often recommend their patients to try to fix their eyes on some immovable ob- ject, such as a ring on their finger or a book held firmly on the knee. The looking-glass is probably the same kind of antidote to the move ment of the ship. "It would be necessary, of course, to hold the glass firmly and fix the gaze steadily on the reflected image "The looking-glass remedy may be something in the nature of a faith cure. If the attentien can be abso- lutely concentrated om the image in the glass and all thought of illness banished there is an excellent chance fat the voyage will have no bad ef cts.

F3 - aid WAS CANADA ROBBED? ! Russian Declares His Country Stele Alaska by Forged Decuments. Leo Nabokeft, a friend of Count Leo Tolstoi, who is armed with a mission from his chief to the wandering Douk- hobors, is in Winnipeg, and has open- ed an offiec there. Mr. Nubokoft has unearthed some aneient Russian do- cuments in Alaska which materially affeot Oanada's pesition on the Alas- ka boundary question. and showing how Russia forged evidences of early 0 tion of the Pacific coast. Mr. Nabokoff formerly resided at Bitka, Alaskn, where he was at the time of re rare er THAT territory from " Y Russia to the United States. Later Mr. Nabokeff was sent by his Gov- ernment to Sitka to put in order the arehives kept by the Russian authori- tins, whioh they had not taken tha trouble to remove. In doing this werk he found there some very interest- ing documents. These were kept inf old Russian, which is not generally understood by those who know that language, but which he had studied. Bome transactions, which he has re- cently forwarded to the Governor-Gen- eral of Canada, have a most import: ant bearing on the Canadian bound- ary question, and if they had come to light at the time of the conference in London would have affected decisions as to the marking of the Canadian frontier most materially. The purport of the recopds is that Russia stele the whole of the Paaific coast, and se- crstly buried tablets, to be dug up in proof of its claims to prior discovery. w" 4 & THE BRITISH CRIMINAL. Leader Begs Canada Not to Reject: Him Altogether. : Referring to Lord Stratheona's cor- respondence to the Under Becretary of Btate for the Colonies respecting the sending of offenders to Canada instead of sentencing them, The Lead- er says it is to be hoped that the eol- onies will not draw the line too striet- ly, merely on the ground of amour propre. There is plenty of evidence that morals which were unable to stand the strain of our complex city life have often been invigorated and strengthened by a fresh start under simpler conditions. Perhaps Can- ada's ends might be served if in these cases the magistrate were to invite the opinion of the High Commissiones' before taking aciion. Adventure With a Moese.
