(one cannot ispeak with accuracy as the makers of any bond income table that the writer has seen did not contemplate such a huge ‘return on bonds). Outside 0: this, we may well hope, unique instance, the return varies about as that on municipals with the very important difierence. that the basis of comparison is about a. point higher. The average net return on in- dustrials is higher for equal security than that upon any other form of fund- led corporate. obligation.

The mpartial and reliable character of the Information may be relied upon. The writer of these articles andthe publisher of this paper have no interests to serve in connection with this matter other than those of the render. This constitutes one of the chief ad- vantages of industrial bonds. A second point. in favor of “Industri- als” is their marketability. Not all in- dustrial bonds possess this advantage, and to some degree at least it depends on the policy of the issuing house. As a ,rule. however. an issue which could be recommended to «a careful investor would possess the Very distinct advant- age of being readily r‘rnarketable. 0n the other hand, many“ very well secur- ed and otherwise desirable industrial bonds are difficult to market. It. is im- portant, therefore, to decide beforehand whether marketability is a feature to be particularly desired before deciding on .an investment. The prospect of appreciating in value of an industrial bond depends a great deal on the activity of the market for that particular bond.

[This advance has resulted solely from the improved position of the company. Yet, had the bonds not pos- sessed an active market this improve- ment would not have been reflected. As a class, industrial bonds cannot be said to _possess stability of market price in a. very high degree. Some of the smaller issues. enjoy a. fictitious stabil- ity owing to the fact that. they have no market quotations to reflect their price movements. 0n the whole, however. these bonds are subject to fluctuations. depending on the business outlook. Of course. just as our business depressions do not reach the same depths of dejection â€"â€"by a. very wide margin. indeed, it may be notedâ€"nor our periods of prosperity carry us to such heights of over-expan- sion of business and credit. as similar conditions do with our American cousins in the States. our industrial bond prices do not fluctuate SOY-violently. 0n "the whole. there has been more up than down in‘Canadian price movements so far. ' AS GOOD ,AS A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE Baby’s Own Tablets should bel kept in every home where there are little ones. They are as‘good as a doctor; are absolutely safe and can always be relied upon to drive away any malady arising from deâ€" rangements of the stomach or bowels. Concerning them Mrs. O. A. Wheeler, Northlands, Sask., says: “I have found Babv’s Own Tablets an invaluable medicine. I live twenty miles from town and doctor, so am glad to have so reâ€" liable a medicine at hand. I con- sider the Tablets a real necessity in the home and shall never be without them. They have kept my baby well and have made him a bonnie baby.” .zThe Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a. box from The Dr. Wil- liams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, THE CHASE OF THE “ROGUE.” Hunter Tvl's Bis Experience With :1 Famous Elephant. Sometimes an eleghant goes .mad and turns manâ€"killer. Full of rancor against everything and everybody, he lies in wait in the jungle near a. road, and gives chase to any one who passes. The “rogue,” as he is called, will sometimes have many human lives to his account before some daring native, or more probably a. sahib with an express-rifle, succeeds in killing him. In “Big Game Shootâ€" ing in Upper Burma” Major Evans tells his experience with a famous rogue. Ont. My trackers got the trail in the morning, but we so timed our ad- vance as to come up with the beast in the evening; when he would be feeding. We found him at four o’clock. The first intimation that I had of his presence was a. short rush through a, patch of thick scrub. Both trackers took to trees, and I saw nothing more of them till the elephant waiskilleol. I had gone into the patch a. dis tance of perhaps two hundred yards when, with a fiendish scream, the elephant charged at my order- ly and myself from the dense cov- er on the rig-M. At first I could see only the’ bending foliage, as the huge brute tore his way through; but presently he burst out with his trunk _ tightly coil-ed, his ears cocked, and his head held high. I aimed low at the base of his trunk, and gave him the right barrel at fifteen yards. The smoke hung round me like 3. pall but steeping down, I saw rto my dismay that the elephant was L- Trohéé AND (3)0551!

I had just time to stey aside, .50 as to clear the smoke and give him the other barrel in the .same place. That was enough, and brought; mm up short when he was all but on me. He slid for a little distance from the impetus of his charge, with his great forefeet rammed out in front of him. ULVkIAJwAAvu After going some three hundred yards, he stopped and held up his hand. Listening intently, I could hear teherrogueA ahead of us, ki_ck- ing up clod‘s of earth, a sure Sign that he was badly wounded, and bent on mischief. At that mom- ‘ent I stepped on a dry twig, which snapped beneath me. With a. shrill scream, 'out came tne eleph- ant. muu. The orderly dodged, caught his foot in a creeper, and lay sprawl- ing in front of the. charging beast. As the elephant emerged from the dense cover‘, I gave him another bullet in the same spot as before, and he rolled over to the shot like a rabbit. As the smoke cleared away, I saw his huge carcass. He measured nine feet seven inches at the shoulder, and had one tusk. That, however, was abeauâ€" ty, and weighed close to forty pounds. The other tusk had been broken off at the root, probably in a fight. I took a bunch of maggots as big as a. football out of ,the broken tusk. The poor beast must have endured agonies similar to a, toothache. No wonder that he had turned rogue! uv 11w“ .w..., . I believe that nearly every rogue elephant is suffering from some- physical hurti‘or disease that cause him constant pain, and turns him from an inoffensive beast into' a. kn”? savage man-hunter. The exquisite complexion of the‘ young Chinese women is due not to i enamellin'g, as has been suspected,‘ but to careful manipulation of the face done by expert masseuses. They begin by agentle pinching of the cheeks betweenâ€" »' the tips of their fingers, which lasts fully ten minutes; then Vly lotions on absorbent cotton, ten an unguent, and finish by kneading the. cheeks with an extreme delicacy of touch, always proceeding from the nose and commisures-of the lips toward the ears. This is aharmless and ‘physiologi-cally correct .‘ process which can be recommended in cases, rarer than they should be, where the physician is consulted concerning; a faded or otherwise unattractive complexion. , ' ‘ 511170113; Basebéll pitchéf‘é’; lgttefi-carriers ’afid<’*PmazeherMQm¢M-l; itidsed by their delivery.

A report of the United States consul at St. Johns states that the slate deposits of Newfoundland for roofing and other purposes are at Trinity bay, about 120 miles by rail and steamer north of St. Johns. They are 600 to 800 feet in width, and extend for miles; 75 per cent. of the slate is a bright purple and the remainder of an attractive grayish green. They belong to the same geological formation (Cam- brian) as those of North Wales. The geographical position of these deposits, being so near the Atlan- tic steamship routes, commands an exceptionably favorable position for the export of their products to the American and European cenâ€" iters of consumption. _ _ . I NEWFOUNDLAND’S WEALTH. A large deposit of marble Occurs within a few miles of one of the arms of Bay of Islands, 'on the west coast of Newfoundland. The deâ€" posit is. 250 feet or more in width, and extends at least two miles in length. The marble is of a beauti- ful cream color when polished, and has been pronounced by competent marble workers to be equal to the best Italian. uuuv -vw.-..... A garnet deposit of exceptional possibilities has been discovered on an island situated in St. Michael’s bay, southern Labrador, about thirty-five miles north of Belle» Isle in the straits. The island is about u.- ‘1le ~..- _.--._. a mile long, half a mile wide, and 200 feet in height. The vein occurs on the south side of the island near the edge of a cliff, and is exposed for about 330 feet in length and 11 feet in width. It is composed of crystals of garnet about the size of large oranges, with sufficient mat- rix (a flinty quartz and mica) to, hold them together. 0n the north side, about 60 feet from the solid vein aid running parallel With it, are smaller crys- tals, but much farther apart. Beâ€" yond the 330 feet in length the rock is covered with sod, and it is asâ€" sumed this sod covers the exten- sion of vein. Over the south side edge of the cliff. which is almost perpendicular, the large garnets are profusely exposed down to about sea level. This shows that the supply is almost inexhaustible and that they can be quarried at a. minimum of cost. This garnet has been tested for abrasive work and pronounced su- perior for that purpose to any found elsewhere. It is also thought that slabs of any size and thickness can be cut and polished. If so, it will be interesting to building trades, as they would be exceedingly hand- some, durable. attractive and new for both inside and outside orna- mental work. Shipping facilities are excellent, the vwater being deep, and there is perfect security for the largest ships. Hildaâ€"“Well, there’s one thing I can say.

At the best {inds ai‘e ’only trashy : them with thanks The finest echo in the world is to be heard in the. cathedral at Pisa, Italy. If two notes are sung there is no reverberation, but if three notes are sung they are at once taken up by the walls of the edifice, swelled, prolonged, and varied un- til they seem as adivine harmony from some majestic organ. The most extraordinary natural echo in the world is to be heard by the side of a. small lake in Bavaria. On one hand rises a perpendicular cliff several thousand feet high, while. on the other side is adense for-est. If a pistol is fired on the lake the woods send back a‘ faint echo that gradually dies away, but presently it is heard from the cliff, continually increasing in power, till it bursts over one’s head like a deafening real of thunder. A woman was upbraiding her husband on his drunken habits and saying he was ruining his health. “Don’t be alarmed about me, my dear,” he said. “The doct9r_ says uvuuu; “WI, ., (1621.1, 11:7 nauu. .LAIU I’m in the pink of condition.” “You should have asked the docâ€" tor to look at your tongue, and nofi your. nose,” retorted his wife. The theory that misery likes com- pany accounts for some marriages. EXTRAORDINARY ECHOES.

You would not put a coarse mass of animal fat, colored by various mineral poison: (such as many crude salve: are) into your child's blood by way of the stomach? Then why do so by way of the pores?
