Educated at Oxford University, gifted
'with a brilliant albeit erooked;intellect,
soft of speech and polished of manner,
he made friends everywhere—many of
whom still elterish a egard for hint in
spite of the blackness of Ws record. lie
was born about forty-five years ago, the
son of an English army officer named
Palmer, and he did not adopt the alias of
Ross Raymond until he beeame involved
in crime in this couotry.
He came here from England over 20
years ago, and did. journalistic work of
the highest quality on many newspapers.
Then he became involved in swiedline
operations, and served a term in Sing
Sing. Upon his release he went abroad
againt, it was then that he performed
the most remarkable exploit of his car-
cer, fle had been in Egypt, where he
bad made the aequaintanee of Mrs. Poix-
otte, wife of the American Consul at
Lyons, France. Gaining her confideece,
Ire learned all that, was necessary of her
husband and his oosition, and, Appearing
one day in Lyons, he introduced himself
to the Consul as a son of Henry J. Ray-
mond, editor of the New Ycirk Times.
It was not long before he had won the
Consul's favor, and as well found himself
the centre ef the Ameriatn set ia.the
French city, He was wined and dined
and, petted with the utmost prodigality,
and w‘hen he became a talfle short of
ready money Mr. Peixotte was only too
delighted to cash a cheque for 5,000
franca. By the time the cheque was
found to be bogus Raymond had dis-
appeared.
While the authorities were still look -
the Hotel Splendide, in Paris, a turbaned
individual of oriental aspect, with sev-
eral servants in Egyptian garb. The
chief of the party, who was none other
than Raymond,called for the proprietor,
and, with an air of mystery, confided to
him the fact that he was private secre-
tary to the Khedive of Egypt, who would
follow him in a day or two. His royal
master was travelling ieicognito, owing
to financial complications, but that
would detract nothing from his eastern
bounty. The secretary was instructed to
make a gift to the hotel -keeper— any-
thing the latter miglit choose.
They went to Ravaut, the jeweler of
the Rue de la Pal; and here Rammed
seleaded a magnificent' watch, shielded
with the richest of gems, had the
hotelman's initials set in the case in dita
mends and presented it to him with the
compliments of the Khedive. The gift
in all cost some $1,200, With his won-
derful astuteness, Raymond then care-
fully went over a list of other presents
which he was commissioned to make in
Paris and had the jeweler set aside
diamond brooches, rings and jewels of
the rarest value, worth in all about $15,-
000, "which he would call for to-mdr-
row." The jeweler had, of course, been
informed by the hotelkeeper of the
greatness of his patron and graciously
permitted him to choose his own time
for settlement. The fact that Raymond
was accompanied by the manager of the
great hotel was sufficient guarantee for
him.
Returning to the hotel, Raymond en-
gaged the premier suite "for the khe-
dive," obliging the hotelkeeper to apolo-
getically send. to the apartments on the
sipper floors a party of German petty
princes. Ross Raymond scattered lergess
among the servants and attaches with
royal hand and had the suite filled with
the richest flowers, the oriental tapes-
tries were brought out, and canopies
were stretched from doorway to curb
aeainst the coming of the expected
potentate. He even went so far as to
have the Khedive's coat of arms em-
broidered upon the carpets laid for Ms
royal 1ftet. So well had he laid his
elans that not the slightest error of d'..
tailwas anode. The names to evhich his
retainers answered were those of the
Khedive's own suite, and to every in-
quiry he could return a quick and sure
answer.
In telt course of the everting the secre-
tary thought he would like to play a
little baccarat and he so informed the
hotehkeeper. The latter was pleased to
introduce him at the proper place when
the secretary suddenly remembered that
he was it trifle short of money. Ile drew
out a 4,000 francs—left from the Pelx-
otto fued—and casually inquired where
he could have a check cashed for 10,-
000 fra,nes. The coffers of the Hotel
Splendicle wero at hen& and their owner
prayed that he would be privileged to
confer this arifling favor, The seam-
tary was obliged. and the money changed
• hands. Next day, Saterdaye state and

I know that Dr. Martiner Reguera, of
Spain, has discovered a spring, the
waters of whicli will mire cases arising
from hopeless tender passions.
This extraordiary spring is situated
at Alanje, and the lovesick lass or lad
who walks into it is said to become wild-
ly hilarious.
A spring was recently discovered by
an American medico in Mexico which
will cure those persons who are addicted
to drink. The doctor declares that he
cured a man who drank nothing but
whiskey for twenty years of his craving
for alcohol by his outward and inward
application of the spring waters.
There appears to be but one objection
to this rapid cure. The majority of
men and women who are fond of strong
drinks do not care to have their passions
removed by philters or douching.

THE GREAT WHALE SH.A.RE.
Gigantic Fish Which is Peaceful in Its
Habits.
One of the most interesting of fishes
and by far the largest of all is the
Rhineodon typos. This has received the •
quasovernacular name whale shark, al-
though under the native Indian name,
Mhor, it has been the object of a regular
fishery for a long time along the north-
western coast of India.
One might naturally suppose that th'e
animal was so rare that nothing was
known of its range or habits- if the most
recent works were consulted. George
Buist, writing in 1850, says: "The great-
est, the most gigantic, of the sharks is
one not uncommon in the Indian Ocean,
but which, on account of its huge size,
Is represented by remains in very few
museums and is little known. It is the

name of whale shark having been coined
for it. This huge to-dins:1 occasionally at-

MATERNAL INSTINCT OF FISH.
A Sense That is Apparently Wisely
ckh iansg .11
maternal "The female fiLsha
in-
stincts whatever," according to the
superintendent, I. Nevin, of the Wis-
consin State Fish Hatcheries, "In fact,"
he is quoted in the Milwaukee Wis-
consin, "the fish is the most inhuman
creature in existenee, that is, of the
animale which have any degree of in-
telligence at all.
"Perhaps it is well that it is so, for if
the parent fish took care of their young
as other creatures do the waters of
the earth would be filled with them in a
very short time. Under natural condi-
tions not one egg iu a million ever be-
comes it fieh a year old.. As an example;
I have seen female brook trout go up
into the spawning!, places and. spawn
their eggs and then turn around and de
liberately eat them.
"For the past few years I have been
much interested in experhuenting evith
bass and studying their ways. Here
the male parent has some maternal in-
stincts apparently. He builds the 'nest'
for the female, some little pocket with a
gravel bottom protected front the strong
current, but with plenty of fresh water,
and then hugs or pushes the female into
it. The eggs are spawned by the female,
who swims away and leaves them to
their fate. The male fertilizes the eggs
and then for a few days watches over
them, `fanning' them occesienaly to
insure it circulation of fresb water and
keeping off other fish who would devour
the eggs. The male fish have been
known to follow the little fry for several
days, protecting them until they were
able to care for themselves.
"I have seen a school of say 1,500
bass fry devoured in fiverninutes by a
few sun bass or perch minnows. Under
the eare of the fish hatcheriee from 50
to 95 per cent. of the eggs become fish
fry. How many of the fry live to be
a year old or so after they are planted
in the streamse it is very hard to deter-
mine. It depends so greatly upon con-
ditions that no reliable estiniates can be
made."

years. The crime for which
Unole rien or more _
she is paying the penalty is the crime of
being it girl ba.by, which. In China is a •
crime indeed. She was born in an in-
terior village in Caine and her mother
was very glad to take $10 offered by it
woman who went there from flan Fran- .
else° to buy slave girls for the San Fran-
cisco Chinatown.
The buyer knew her bargain, for what '
were the risks of the child's death to the '
posible $3,5e00, .$3.000 or $10,000 she
would bring in a dozen years or so? She
-was young euough, too, to have her feet •
bound and be palmed off as of a better
class than that from which most slave
girls come.
She was happy, this slave dealer, when
she sighted San Franeista on her return '
journey, and she ehuffied easily along
the pier when she left the boat. Tho in -
specters all knew her, for she had been
back and forth many thnes. It was be-
muse they knew lea thet they (men-
tioned her about the little bundle in
her arms. Site told them the baby was
her o \vn, for it is it lie that comes first
to it Chinaman's lips. This was her un-
doing. In the court she added lie to
lie, but in the end the judge know that
the baby had not been born ot her. She
hna no right to brine it in aithout pa-
pers and she had not thought of this.
The infant could not be deported, be-
cause no amount of questioning could
mahe the woman reveal the home of the
child. Besides, the judge did not sec
that the child would be bettor -off with
it mother who would met her for $10 than
with it woman who would pay that tor
her. On the other hand, Sii.1 Could. net

at finding few direct traces of the stay
of the Jews. So many people were car-
ried motive that the memory of the
Jews was lost among them. But that
is what adds to the value of this Semetic
temple at Sinai.
One most astonishing thing about tbe
find is the discovery of a great mass of
burnt ashes, the remains of mnny thou -
rands of burnt offerings by other Sem-
ite visitors—perlinps from Tyre or Sidon
or other parts of that great Semite
world which was eclipsed by the rise of
Assyria.
Some of the pilgrims who tried,
through the gate of dreams, to foresee
the future, must have died in that ster-

tombs unlike any in Egypt—tombs built

kept their food in jars, and when they

jars for safety in the soil below their
huts. Dr. Petrie has -found many of
these jars just as they were left. The

DEADLY ANAtMIA
Leads to Consumption Unless
Promptly Cured.
Many a young life might be saved,
from consumption if simple anaemia
were promptly treated. Anaemia, is
the doctorsname for weak, water"
blood. Whexr the blood is in this
condition the lungs have no strength.
The whole system begins to break
down, Then the growing girl slips
slowly into decline, until at last the
cough starts and her doom is Pealed.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can cure all
weak, anaemic people without doubt
or difficulty. They actually make
new, rich, health -giving blood—they
cure anaemia, and. prevent consump-
tion. This has been proved in thou-
sands of cases. Mrs, Edward, Coch-
ran, Merritton, Ont., says: "Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills cured my daugh-
ter Matilda, when I felt that her case
was almost hopeless. For more than a
year she was 0 sufferer from anae-
mia. She gradualy grew weak, was
subject to violent headache, ana dark
circles appeared under her eyes. She
was melancholy, had no appetite and
complained of being constantly tired.
At different times she was treated by
two doctors, but with no improve-
ment. As her case progressed, she
was attacked by violent palpitation
of the heart and a suffocating short-
ness of breath. She had a deathly
pallor, took cold easily, and continued
to decline in weight, until I felt that
she was in a, hopeless decline. At this
time my attention was called to Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and I began giving
them to her, She had not been taking
the pills many weeks when her appetite
was greatly improved, and this was the
first sign that they were helping her.
She continued the pills until she had
taken eight or nine boxes, when she was
again the picture of healthy girlhood.
Every symptom of her trouble had. dis-
appeared, she has increased in weight,
and is strong and robust. Her recovery
is looked upon as marvellous, for the
doctors thought her case hopeless.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pils will cure any
case of bloodlessness just as surely as
they cured this ease. The pale, anaemic
need only one thing—new blood. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills do only one thing
—they make new, rich, life-giving blood.
That is why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
cure all common diseases like anaemia,
headaches and backaches, indigestion,
• kidney trouble, palpitation of the
heart, neuralgia, nervous troubles and
those special aibnents that make the
lives of so many growing girls and wo-
men miserable. Be careful to get the
genuine pills with the full name Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People on the
wrapper around each box. II in doubt,
send direct to The Dr. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Brockville, Ont., and the pMs
will be sent by mail at 50 cents is box,
or sixboxes for $2.50.
