In view of these facts, and the on‘ly too apparent necessity for sanitary conâ€" trol and medical attendance on the sick in the large lumber camps, since the latter are commonly situated in unorganized townships;, the Provincial Health Department are anxious to have some regu‘ation put in forcee whereby the owners of large lumber camps will be compelled to employ a qualified medical practitioner. _ As things now are, complaints are received every year so soon as the lumbering operaâ€" tions begin, and the unfortunate setâ€" tlers in the neighbourhood of the camps have to suffer owing to the parâ€" simony of someof these lumber barons.

The premises contain a boiler and four large stills used for refining pitch, and the theory is advanced that the exâ€" plosion was the result of a generation of _gases in the pipes from the stills which convey the oils extracted from the boitling tar to another part of the building. _ The fireman believed that the real trouble occurred in the cooler, and it is predicted that unless the pitch and ammonia works are removed to some other place there will yet be l.n‘ explosion that will carry all the emâ€" poyes beyond the range of telephones or shotguns. infisfiij‘ was three of the employes were , _ As it was three of the employes were in jured, â€" name] , _ Joseph â€" Lancaster, Henry Adams, fi.obert Charlton.

It is of hbandsomeâ€" carved wood, and intended to stand in the hball. It comes in two parts. The lower, which is a little higher than the wheels, opens with two broad doore while the upper is much narrower, beâ€" ing intended to accommodate the hanâ€" dles and saddles. A shelf is provided to hold any extras one may have, as bats or gloves. Covers to fit over wheele may be made of handsome cretons or plain materials, outlined with some apâ€" propriate design. ‘The seams should be bound with bright colored braids. These covers are very attractive, and will serve the double purpose of protecting the bicycle and one‘s clothing where the machine has to be kept in small rooms or halls in summer cottages. A cover made of rubber or waterproof cloth would be of advantage at the seaâ€" shore or where the bicycles are kept in wireâ€"inclosed piazzas. A BICYCLE STAND FOR THE HALL The biped is a trifie unsteady on its limited equipment of legs, and in ite watery llue eyes there lurks a puzzlâ€" ed expression, as though it missed someuhing; but it never fails to â€" reach the trough as soon as the other memâ€" bers of its family when the swill pail comes into view, Some of Mr. Otis‘e neighbors have sufgested that the pig is valuable as a freak, but piggie is, neveriheless, _ doomed.

It Has Two Legs and Greatly Resembles a Buck. R. C. Otis, a farmer of Denmark, Lewis County, is the possessor of a porcine whatâ€"isâ€"it that is as much of a puzzle to the owner and breeder as the Australian ornithoâ€"rhynchus has heen to the naturalist. â€" It is supposed to be a pig, for the reason that, so far backs as its present owner can recollect, its ancestors have been hogs, and the aniâ€" mal‘s performance at uhe trough hear witness to the correctness of this clas= ification, _ ln one very imporiant parâ€" ticular, however, it differs from the orâ€" dinary pig of commerce. J% has but two legs, and they are neither fore leg® nor hind legs, but project from the midship section of the animal like those of a duck, while the resemblance to that fowl is further strengthened by a lail which curls straight up over the pig's back like the caudal decoraâ€" tion of a patriarchal drake.
