A. remarkable discovery was made on a recent Sunday afternoon, by Charles E. Stewart and het uncle, I. E, Stew. art, near johnoville, N. I3., about eight Stilles back of the village of Bath, where the brews of a human being were 'round In a bloolraded cave. The Steve - arts, who have long been desirous of inveetigating, went to the cave, and with dynamite the obstruction to the cave was demolished. The men found twelve stone steps leading to a pas, sage seven feet long and two feet wide, this opening into a main room about twelve feet square, where they found the bones of a human being lying on a bunk of stone. No trace of flesh was there and the boues were dry and crumbly, Near the bones was a gold ring on which was inscribed "John Long, Dec. 1779." A few inches away was a silver watch, which bore the date 1740. Under- neath the 'bones were found several traces ot coarse hair, which would in- dicate that the body had lain on a skin, or something of that nature. Underneath the bunk were found three books, two in Latin, the third written in English. One of the Latin books was Sueton- tus' History of Rome, dated 1667, and on the fly leaf were several Latin in- scriptions. Inside was written: "B, A. Strong, Oxford College, May 24, 1676." 'Underneath this appeared the name James Hayward, 1685. The other book was Seneca's Tragedies, and it was marked the date 1659. 'In the English book was written the names of David Fowles and Michael Carney. Around the books, which were In a good state of preservation, was a large piece of bark on which were meters believed to be plans of other caves. At one end. o! the room and im- mediately underneath the little hole in the roof was an old fireplace. What this signifies the people here do not know, but the Investigation will be continued. Though several persons by the nama of Strong have figured on the rolls of Oxford University, none of them bore the initials "B. A." Moreover, there was no one by the name of Strong at the university in 1676, or within 20 years of that date, according to Alumni Oxonenses, edited by Foster. It might also be pointed out that Oxford "col- lege" proves an alibi, though the term might be used. Praise For "Tom" Tait. If you ever meet a. visitor ffbm Aus- tralia and want hira to say a good thing for Canada and Canadians ask tarn what he thinks of Mr. Thomas Tait, the manager of the Government railways in the State of Victoria. Ho is sure to become enthusiastic at once, unless he is a Laborite, and even then he will admit that Mr. G. R. R. Codlt- burn's eon-in-lawis a first-class ad- ministrator. Mr. George Harris Hays, of Mel- bourne, who passed through Canada en route to England, was most em- phatic In his good opinion of Mr. Tait when he said: "Our railways are in the very best possible condition. We get fine service, we haven't had a block in two years, and, furthermore, the, roads are paying, and all that Is due to the man you sent out from here to run them, Thomas Tait. He has done a great work there, a work which no oth- er man has ever been able to do. He tackled in those railways one of the toughest jobs a man ever ran into. Railways in our country, you know, are owned and worked by the Government. So when Tait came along deputations came to him from all over the coun- try to ask him for reduced rates and all kinds of favors, and the politicians got after him and every one was trying to work him for all he was worth. Why, I tried to do it myself. "I went to see him with a great big deputation, and we told him he was oppressing the poor people and small farmers. All he answered was, am going to make the Victorian railways pay.' And he did make them pay, and furthermore, he is the only man who has ever been able to do it. Before he came along these railways showed an annual deficit of £200,000. "Just think of that, and now they Pay, and on account of this great gain the Government budget shows an increase instead of a deficit for the first time in the history of the coup try. Tait is a great railroad man- ager, and he is now getting the credit for it in Australia from the very people who, when he first came, tried to bowl him down." George Ham's Versatility. Wherever George Ham, the veteran newspaper man, and representative of the Canadian Pacific Railway, goes there is sure to be a trail of stories. Here are a couple of then, the first told by The Nelson Herald: "Whee George Ham, the well-known C, P. R. official, was in Nelson last week; a deputation wetted upon him and urged in eloquent language that the C. P. R. should build an hotel in that city to aceortmodate the tourist trade, George listened patiently to the haran- gue and at its close reniarked: boys, I don't think the d. P. R. can af- ford to put up an hotel here, but,' and he put his hand In his pocket and pull- ed Out an imitation $100,000 bill given to him as an ad for Saskatoon and handed it to the leader Of the deputa- tion, 'I am glad to contribute personale ly this amount towards the scheme: Nothing more was said about the ho- tel." The Vancouver Provittee chronicled the other yarn: "President Roosevelt, according to the statement of Mr. George Kam will make a tour of Canada as soon as his prekent terra has expired, and will visit 'Vancouver. No doubt amid the prese Sure of his other duties he has had time to read out literature and inform him- self of the advantages of this eity a8 0. place for settlement."

The Old Republican putt, roof:tad br Thomas lettersets, had its moot vigorous life during the twentyoug years while Jefferson, Madison and )(Korea were in the White Ilona% Dup. tug these years; it Completely kited Its opponent, the old Federalist party, which was the predecessor ot the present Republican party. john Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United Stateta who had a leaning to Federalism, was elected by the house of representatives (none of the candidates having a majority of the electoral vote) as a national Republi- can, and when Jackson came In tour years later it was as a Democratic Republican. It was during bis time that the latter half of the name was dropped, and the party of Jefferson took the name of the Democratic party', It was not until 1854 that tbe present Republican party assumed the name which the party' of Jefferson and Jaelt- son bad dropped a quarter of a cen- tury before.—St. Louis Republican, To Corleiltete the Gods, Just at night, if you happen to be within the gates of Canton, you will witness one of the little performances that are supposed to deceive the prowl- ing spirits of tbe night bent upon evil intent, the while conciliating them should they penetrate the deception. Each little and, big shop possesses a miniature Areplace built into the side of the entrance. Prayers printed on rice paper form the fuel with which to offer 'up Incense to the "bogy man," who is supposed to make the nocturnal visits. Beholding the smoke, he is sup- posed to assume that no one lives with - In, and therefore passes by; but should he catch on and stop to investigate he finds that the prayer papers on the al- tar bear inscriptions attributing to him such virtues and magnanimity that his wrath is appeased and he turns from his evil intent. — Edwin Wildman in Chautauquan. Dome -,-One Dimeint "How big a dose do I need?" asked the customer of the old fashioned drug- gist "Oh, I guess a heaping dimeful will be about right," was the reply. "A. dinieful?" echoed the customer. "You Inean a dime's worth, don't you?" "No, I don't," said the druggist. "A dime's worth would be two ounces, and you'd never survive such a quan- tity as that. I mean for you to take a dime and pile on It as much of this powder as will stick. Then you have the proper dose. Measuring medicine on a dime is a method as old as United States currency and almost as reliable. There are certain powders that can be measured more accurately that way than any other, and among us old timers who baye been used to meeting enaergeacies daneful' Is a common direction," Different Meanings. Some words in our language have several meanings, each different from the others, so that it Is not always pos- sible to know at first just what thougbt the speaker wishes to express. There is the word "humanitarian," for In- stance. If you will turn to your Web- ster you will find that it means, first, one who denies the divinity of Christ and believes him to bave been merely human; second, one who limits the sphere of duties to human relations and airections to the exclusion of the religious or spiritual; third, one who is actively concerned in promoting the welfare of his kind, a philanthropist The third sense Is the one In which the word is now most frequently used, and Webster marks this definition as "re- cent." The Size of Canada. Canada is larger than the 'United States by a quarter of a million square miles. Canada contains one-third of the area of the British empire. Canada extends over 20 degrees of latitude— from Rome to north pole. Canada is as large as thirty 'United Kingdoms, eighteen Germanys, thirty-three Italys. Canada is larger than Australasia and twice the size of British India. Canada has a boundary line of 3,000 miles be- tween it and the United States. Cana- da's seacoast equals half the earth's circumference. Canada is 3,500 miles wide and 1,400 from north to south. Impure Candy. Beware of Impure candy. Sugar in candy quickly ferments after eating, and if too much is eaten serious trou- bles often result. Pure sugar dissolves quickly in water and leaves a cleat liquid, affordiug an easy way of test- ing its purity. Drop a small piece of candy in a glass, and over it pour boil- ing water. Let it stand twenty-four hours. It there is any foreign sub- stance in the candy a sediment will be found in the bottom of the glass. - After.
