George McDonald, of Huron county, has 15 acres of maple sugar .bush up near Wroxeter. From the trees in this bush Mr. McDonald, although the season was a very short one, took 350 gallons of syrup which he sold at 31.25 to $1.35 per gallon. A yield of $30 an acre from a bush lot, in addition to the fallen timber that can be taken out for. fire wood every year is not doing too h'dly. A two -headed copperhead snake, with the tongue in each head darting in and out viciously, and with four beady eyes snapping balefully, was the uncanny sight which confronted Oliver K. Demp- sey recently, while walking in a wood at Logansport, Ind. He killed the reptile and took it home so that he might convince those sceptical about his story. The snake has two perfectly formed heads, with well developed forked tongues, but oniy one body. Becoming impressed with the vision of the body of his chum lying in a creek which he saw in a dream, Joseph Mack of Chatfield, Wis., persuaded some companions to accompany him to the spot, and there they •discovered the body of Hall Thompson, for whom par- ties had been searching for a week. Thompson, aged twenty-one, was drowned as a result of his horse and carriage being swept away during a recent storm, which raised Root River fifteen feet. The telephone system in Saskatoon is being taken over by the Saskatche- wan Government,, Hon. J. A. Calder, Minister in charge of that department having informed Manager Hair of the North Western Telephone Company, that unless the Government offer for the purchase of the private plant were accepted the Government would install a system of its own. The price of the private plant which the Government will pay is said to be $73,000, and it is believed that the system will be immed- iately changed over to the automatic when the Government assume control. The United States army department has ordered that every officer and man in the regular army of the United States whose is under 45 years of age, and who has not been rendered im- mune, shall be inoculated with anti- typhoid serum as a protection against typhoid. This measure of protection has proved its value in the Philip- pines, and experience gained there seems to have justified the radical ac- tion now decided upon.
