} ae E : > : iS AT WINNIPEG! : Tyo Cases of Embezzlement Discovered , at the City Hall A despatch from Winnipeg says! Rumers of petty embezzlements in the Oty Hall, which have been carey withheld from the public for seme time, were confirmed on Weataosday, when it was officially staged in the Board of Control that _Watber Magee, clerk in the solici- 'tor's office, had absconded with bow $170, which he had secured ion memey coming into the depart- 'mews. He had forged the solici- 'tor's signature to papers, and had 'cashed a check through this means. Magee afterwards made his escape. Yhis in the second defalcation in the City Hall discovered within a month. The other was in the tax office, where a man named Forbes is ac- cused of having misappropriated about a thousand dollars or more, by means of destroying stubs for receipts for tax payments. The defalcation was not discovered for a long time, until some parcels of land were offered for sale for non- payment of taxes, when the receipts were produced which indicated the guilt of the clerk. Others are said to be implicated and an effort is being made to hush the matter up on account of Forbes' relations. So DOOM YOUNG FOLKS A NEW GAME. | '{ moted down a new game for vou laet night," said Aunt Ruth. "Be you want to try it?" -- we!" chorused the four. "Aren't we always' more than ready for one of your games?" cried Car], "{ have called it hungry beg- a. Aunt Ruth began. "Phat sounds interesting," put {fu Bertha, "'if people are only gon- eroms."? | | "{ will begin," her aunt went on, ""by begeing a letter from my i neighbor, and you will so0n se how it goes. We will take Am casy wor' first. Carl, I have a bead that I want to change into something to eat. If you will give me Re right letter I can do it." | "Oh, an rx will make it into ibreagt?' "Thank you. That is the letter need, and giving me one entitles ou t© beg a letter of your right- thand neighbor. Think of some ar- {ticle of food that with the omission of a fetter will mako a different }word. You will soon catch on, and 'the words will come flying to you."' "Why can't we use the anagram lletters??' asked Alice. "We could {make them easily with them.' _ 'Won can, if you like, though it 'is better practise this way." Norton ran for the letters, while |Carl, who was always overeager to 'begin, said to Bertha: "O, lady, I'm awful hungry! Will ou ploase give me a letter that will change my maro into something to eat?' | "Dear me, Mr. Beggar, I'd like to."' said Bertha, laaghing, "but Y'm afraid 1 can't. What can it be 1'? Norton came back with the box of letters, and began picking out m-a-r-0, Before Bertha had sained anything from her mental shifting, he cried out, gleefully, "Oh, I know!" clapping a hand over his letters that the rest might not see, 'All right," returned his sister, good-naturedly, "let's have it." "No, no. I'll wait," he answer- ta. But Bertha declared that she could never guess it, and begged him to tell, "Don'b you want a c?" Norton asked Oart. "Sure?! "Then you can make cream,'"' said Norton. 'Oh, this is fun!" Bertha's turn passed to Norton, because she had not given the let- ter. "Why, I don't know what to beg forl" he exclaimed. "T haven't anything thought up!" Everybody laughed, and finally, a3 he could not avail himself of the turn he had won, it passed to Alice, who sat on Bertha's right hand. She addressed her mother: "Please will you give me a let- ter that will turn my rags into something to oat?" Even Aunt Ruth scowled for a minute over this word. Then her face brightened. But Mrs. Chapin shook ber head. | 'T shall have this," she said. She could not guess it, and tura- 'ed to Norton, who was busy with his letters. "Oh, I can't!" he cried. 'I'm trying to got a word for myself, so I won't lose another turn." Sa Aunt Ruth had to give it. '*Will a u do, to make sugar?' she said, smiling. "Of course it will," said Alice. It was Aunt Ruth's turn again. Li y to get used to "T have some prints,' she said, "that I can turn into some vege- tables, if you will only give me a letter to put with them." "Prints into vegetables," mused Carl. "Potatoes, carrots, pump- kins, radishes, parsnips, turnips-- oh, you want a u to make some turnips ?"' "That is just Aunt Ruth replied. 'Well, kind lady,'? and Carl turned to Bertha, "will you please give me a letter that will change some warts and briers that I have no use for into delicious fruit?" "Warts and briers!" echoed Ber- tha, looking puzzled. "Is the fruit just one word?" "Only one--and it's what you especially like," he added. She thought a minute. "Oh, I know!" she cried. "I'll give you an e, and you can make strawber- ries !" As Norton had missed again, his turn passed to Aunt Ruth. She begged a letter that should convert her groans into fine fruit. "'Tt's the first time you ever had any groans, I guoss," said Carl, laughing, "and I don't wonder you want to get rid of them. But I'm afraid I can't help you." "There's papa!' cried Alice, run- ning to open the door. She took a big paper bag from his hands. 'What have you got?' she queried, and peeped in. "Oh, oranges!" Carl's scowl vanished. "I think," he said to Aunt Ruth, "that what you need is an e." She gave him a smiling nod. 'But what's the word?" "Oranges!'? shouted Norton, joyfully.--Youth's Companion.

Whitson, assistant chief of the surveys branch of the! on his return| Ontario Government, from the Porcupine gold district on Thursday afternoon. "There. is scarcely anything like it in On. tario." f Ten days ago Mr. Whitson went to northern Ontario for the pur- pose of investigating the possibili- ties of the district so far as gold production was concerned, and he returned with a most optimistic re- port for the Hon. Frank Cochrane, Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, "Two thousand claims have been staked in four townships," said Mr. Whitson. 'All of Whitney and Tis- dale Townships, except that owned by veterans, has been staked ; about two-thirds of Shaw Township, south of Whitney, and two-thirds of the the woods doing development orlt _the last, honths. . "There as read from hed about ago, having been construct ; ping places on the way.

One of these, passing through it whi can be seen across the more promising than anythi ny Ontario except Cobalt.' | HEALTH | TREATMENTS FOR CATARRH All forms of catarrh in tho head or throat are disagreeable and de- structive to the tissues of the mu- cous membrane... Catarrh should be treated just 8S soon as it appears, for the longer it continues the harder it is to treat or cure, as it is an inflammation of the membrane and should be checked before it permanently af- fects the tissue. It is unfortunato for people with catarrh to be compelled to live in crowded cities, especially in damp cities, as a damp, smoky, or dusty atmosphere will do the inflamma- | tion more harm than goed. The crusts that form from this inflammation should ~ be washed away at least once a day, and a simple, good wash is to use a pint of warm water containing a tea- spoonful of soda, professionally called soda bicarbonate, or you can use ordinary cooking soda. This simple wash cleanses without irri- tating the mucous membrane. The fountain syringe is now con- sidered almost too severe for nasal douche--that is, for the internal nose washing. By hanging high tho rubber bag filled and letting it rush violently in one nostril and on through the cavities certainly clean- ses, but it is also harmful, inas- much as it is too severe for the tis- sue of the mucous membrane. Then, too, the nasal spray is in some eases too violent, as in mild cases of catarrh the atomizer forces the | germs from the nostrils all through the interna! cavities of the head. One of the objects of the appli- cation of any wash to the nasal cav- ity is to retain it in direct contact with the membrane for at least one or two minutes. This can be done simply and effectively as follows: Put into the glass douche one or two teaspoonfuls of the solution, filling it with warm water (never use cold)... With the index finger over the inlet control the flow, in- sert the nozzle into the nostril, and hold the head well back. While allowing the solution to run into the nose breathe through the mouth; this closes up the pas- sage into the throat and enables you to fill the entire nasal cavity. As soon as it is fffll take the douche away, pinch tho nostrils together, and throw the head well forward. Hold the solution in the nasal cav- ity for a couple of minutes and re- peat in the other nostril. Clear the head gently to avoid forcing products of inflammation into the eustachian tubes. Do not blow your nose until you have thoroughly cleared the nose and throat, so as not to irritate the soft membrane, If the catarrh conditions affect the throat garglo with one or two teaspoonfuls ef a good mouth wash diluted with a tablespoonful or two of hot water. Also a good gargle is warm water containing a pinch of soda or a glass of warm milk containing a teaspoonful of turpen- tine. Mild solutions of carbolie acid are cleansing, But it is safer to have a physician write you a presorip- tion after examining your case, as carbolic acid is a powerful remedy and should not be used too strong on a tender surface. Some doctors do not advise the use of nasal douches, but they do adviso sniffing up through tl some deodorant or disinfectan' Dr. Hagner of Berlin advises following treatment: Mix fiv of carbolic acid, five parts of spit of hartshorn, with fifteen parte alcohol, ten parts of water it ina dark bottle with a glass stopper, lay a few drops on th layers of blotting paper, place th aw the nose, shut the oyes a mouth and draw up the breath f ibly and deep as long as any is perceptible. Repeat every | hours, To treat catarrh the ge health must be considered. liver must never be torpid; impurities in the system remain: stead of boing carried off, up the general health, get th tem strengthened and it will more able to throw off any lo woakness, such as catarrh, oxygen of the air is one of the remedies for catarrh, so an out life is advised for those with tarrh tendencies. ony It is important to have fresh ait in the sleeping room, but not damp air, It is better to get the through another room or let it sift: through a thin blanket placed over -- the open window rather than have -- damp air in the room. a A UNIQUE RECORD. _ Elected Reeve for the Portyefiry Term, ae A despatch from Ottawa. _s: RS Charles Mohr of Fitzroy township.
