The name carries with it visions of old-time hospitality. and wherever it is possible to preserve this relic of bygone days it should be done. It. emphasizes the fact that the whole world is kin, and that like King Arthur's round table, the family circle is capable of expand- ing to admit others within the charmed ring. In the country home and that of the small town it is the one. important means of agreeable companionship and entertainment, and the fitting up of the guest chamber should be a study in making a temporary home that will breathe a \VC‘lClllnl‘ to one's friends. Given the fundamentals of an agree- able sleeping apartment, there are cer- tain little touches flint must be added that are a real necessity to the comfort of the guest. In many cases these little additions are to be made just before the guest arrives and with direct reference to her individual taste and habits. A small table furnished with pen and ink should be supplied; it will save her the annoyance of asking for those things. and feeling that. she is causing extra steps. A visitor must write some letters, for she must keep in touch with her home. A few beaks and late magazines should also be found in the guest cham- ber. There are times during the day when the hostess will be occupied with household duties and errands and the guest can entertain herself if such things are placed convenient for her. A pitcher of water is another impor- tant adjunct to her room; there is no greater comfort than to find drinking water always within easy reach. It is by little thoughtful acts that. the tactful hostess. is distinguished, and it marks the difference between too much free- dom and too much formality in enter- taining a house guest. It is possible to so overload a guest with attention that sht will feel that she has upset complete- ly the household regime and be un- comfortable in consequence. And a hostess may. likewise be so lacking in little attentions that the visitor will be conscious of the neglect. The nice point in entertaining house guests is to leave them enough freedom to make them feel that they are one of the family circle for the time being and still give them all the attention that is necessary for their comfort. A proper fitting up of the guest cham- ber will do much toward contributing to the little comforts of the guests with out them being conscious that a special effort is being made in their behalf. HINTS FOR THE HOME. A good beefsteak, however well cooked, will not be at its best unless served directly it is cooked. Every saucepan that has been used and finished with should be filled with cold water, a lump of soda put into it, and set to boil out. To Utilize Scraps of Lemonsâ€"Having removed the yellow rind and the juice for flavoring, the pulp should be dipped into salt, and used for cleanig copper pans. Make potatoes look while and floury by boiling in as little water as possible, strain, and take at once If? an open door. Give the potatoes a vigorous shake in the pan, let it. remain uncovered at the side of the stove for five minutes before serving. Lamps should be filled daily and the chimneys polished at the same time. Once a month either wash and dry the wick, or have a newronc, and you will find that your rejected lamp burns without smoking and gives a good light. When baking apples remember that they are dusty even before they are picked from the trees, and that if bought in a town they are sure to be dusty. Apples, therefore. should al- ways be rinsed before being cooked. Wipe the fruit dry carefully after wash- ing, and cook at once. To keep walnuts from becoming dry pack them while fresh in earthenware jars, sprinkle with salt, place some (lamp hay on the top, cover the jars. and keep them in a cool, dark place. Before using make a brine in the proportion of a teasponnful of salt to a pint of water, soak the walnuts in this for twenty- four hours. :lhen dry them in a cloth: walnuts may also be kept in damp sand in a cellar. Dry walnuts may always be freshcned by soaking in brine. _.._____.. BANK ROBBED THROI‘GH SE\\‘F.R. Thieves Robbery. Affect :1 Bold Adventurous The Bavarian Mint Oflice in Munich.

The thieves appear to have worked their way along this sin-run bed to a point adjacent to a water \\h€el where an iron gate affords moans of ingress to the ground floor of the mint oilicos. Forcing the lock of the gate. they skilfully applied their jemunes to the two wooden doors which bar the pas- sage leading to the interior of the. build- ing. and finally reached the room in which was stored a large. chest of newly-coined ten-mark pieces. bearing the stamp “D,” and dated lfitit‘».

The robbery was not discovered until an advanced hour by the house irns~ lel', who had slept peacefully through the. night in a cellar beneath the room in which the burglars carried on their operations. The responsibility for the ocourrence is said to rest with the. lu-eper of the gold. who deposited the. coins in the wooden chest, instead of in the bomb- proof safe, where they properly be longed. Formerly two Sentinels were, perman- ently on duty in the mint oflire. but they were abolished as useless two years ago. and no steps have since been taken to replace them. -6“â€" MAKES NE\\' BLOOD. ._ Tliat is [low Dr. “'illianis‘ Pink Pills Cure the Common‘Ailmcnts of Life Making new blood. That is just what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are always do- ingâ€"actually making,r new blood. This new blood strengthens every organ in the body, and strikes straight at the root of anaemia, and the common ail- ments of life which have their origin in poor, weak, watery blood. Mrs. A. II. Secley, of Stirling, Dub, tells what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills did for her fourteen year old sister. Miss Annie Sager, after other treatment had failed. She says: “For some years Annie had not been well. She would take spells of dizziness and headaches that Would last for several days, and her whole body would become dry and hot as though she was burning up with fever. Her lips would swell until near the bursting point. and then when the fevâ€" or would leave her the outer skin ofthe lips would peel off. She doctorcd with two different doctors, but they did not succeed in curing her. and the trouble seemed gradually to be growing worse. Then we began giving her Dr. Willi- ams' Pink Pills and under this treat- ment she has recovered her health. The headaches and dizziness have gone; her color is improved; her appetite bel- ler, and she has had no further attacks of the fever which battled the doctors. \Ve are greatly pleased with what Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills have done for her, and recommend them to other suffer- ers." It was the rich red blood Dr. Williâ€" ams' Pink Pills actually make which cured Miss Sager. That is why these pills cure all common ailments like anaemia and debility. headaches and backachcs. indigestion, rheumatism. neuralgia, St. Vitus dance and the speciv al ailments that. prey on the health and happiness of girls and women of all ages.

Deeeived Australian Girl Rescued from Criminal Husband. An Australian girl named Bessie Smith, who had married a Frenchman and afterwards found him to be on Apache, or thief. has been rescued by the police under dramatic circumstances. The police were searching for stolen property at a house frequented by “Apaches” when they heard a woman shriek. They burst open a door and found a young woman lying on the floor with a severe wound in her shoulder. The window was open. and on looking out they saw an "Apache" named Pel- lier. escaping by the water pipe. He. was “wanted” for several Crimes, but clear away over the roofs.

Many Attempts Made to Find WaterL fall, ‘v'here Fortune Lies “'aiting. A despzdch from Leech River, H. (7., announcing a rich gold discovery brings in for sper'ulation once more the sub- jccl of whether the really rich pockets of gold on Vancouver Island have yet been disi‘overcd. In the beech River ex- citement. about 1300, a gold cxcitment in which several Nanaimoiles now liv- ing tiguri'd, more than a million and three-quarter dollars’ worth of gold was taken out. From time to time one runs across old traditions of the fabulous deposits of gold that exist on the island. It's an old story. that of the days when the Nauaimo Indians hunted with bullets made of pure gold, but it is perhaps new to some of the younger generation. (.hief Louis Good, of the Nanaimo tribe of Indians, tells the following story:~â€" “There is a story handed down from generation to generation in my tribe,‘ said he, “that somewhere on Vancou- ver Island and about its centre. and reached from Englishman's River, there i. a little stream of water and near its Over this falls the gold literally falls all the time, and one has only to hold a basin under it to catch some of the golden grains that turns the, white man's head. At the base of the falls is almost a solid mass, of gold. and many an Indian has been known to cut away in solid chunks, the precious metal. “Out. of the gold the. Indians used to collrct here they made golden bullets, little realizing the value of the precious stuff, with which they had hunted their daily bread. Indeed, when a small boy. I knew of a deer that was killed by an Alberni man. and when it was cut up a solid gold bullet was found under the hide. showing that the deer had been shot once before." (thief Godo says there are dozens cf Indians who can confirm this. It is a matter of common history that in 1562 two Frenchmen left Victoria to hunt for this stream of gold. They returned some months later with well fitted pockets, but no money or persu- asion could induce them to undertake the trip again. and their faces blanch- 0‘ with terror whenever they spoke of the wonderful Eldorado stream. This bears out the superstition cf the Indians that this stream is super- naturalâ€"something to be dreadedâ€"mad on that. account very seldom have any of them ever been induced to join the various parties that have set out to in‘ vestigate the wonderful workings. “Jack” blaheuey. of Big Oualicum. forty miles north of Nanaimo, left years are to guide an expedition to the place, but it was a failure. About eighteen years ago a party of Nanaimo men con‘ sisting of Messrs. llarry Austin, Sam Fox. George and “Joe” Sage and Rob- _ erl Freetliy. left to see if there was any gold in the vicinity, but found the roads leading to the creek almost impassable and were compelled to retire. Chief Good is an excellent believer in the tale. and many times has tried to locate Midas stream. Ile first heard the story when a small boy. about forty- five years ago. When quite young. and old Indian who professed a knowledge of the location of the stream offered to- show some of the more daring of the Indians who were brave enough to flll" got the Superstition regarding the ill- luck that would attend any one attemptâ€" in;_' to find it just where the stream was. Louis Good was in the party, but the night after they left l’ai‘ksvillc, twentyâ€" thre miles from Nannimo. if snowed heavily. and the old Indian guide, taking this as an omen of bad luck. turned punk. and not until the folli’nving year cmild he be persuaded to guide the party to it. The following year the guide went on a message for Government Assessor Rules to the adjacent islands and was it"Ii‘il'i‘ this~ ‘l,\\vQ\'Cj', Chief Good obtained from him a plan of the cnuutiy about the stream. This he afterward: lost. but [‘pnlolnlml._ ,.,_i ply-.11in to make him lclicve he could find it. This your he will make a trip into the interior of tlze island in search :of it. In the parts where he goes he has a cache of coffee. beans and sugar. which he place] there thirty yeais ago. and -whivh were still fit for consumption when examined two years ago, This old Indian told I.r.uis that the stream was first found by the hunter win had ti'arol the animal to the little slrram. \\‘hile rem-bin: down to the title \v:.l.~:‘ fall be paired golden grain: of t‘ e lotion), and after that for a lunar time the Indians used to go there to gather 31- gold in mgqu into bullets, 'lii‘ until one year a whole party of them‘ got lost. in attempting to reach it and were never heard of again, and ever s.nce then tiic Indians kept shy of the. stream, until finally its exact location. became unknown to them.
