The Rand gold companies of South

A man with an inflammable nose re-
cently created exoitment on the Boule-
vard Saint Michel, Paris. He was light-
ing a cigaret when his nose became
suddenly ignited, and it and his beard
were soon on fire. The man jumped
about in great paiu, and was carried
through a horrified crowd to a druggist's
shop, were the blaze was extiugniehed.
It was then found that he had a celluloid
nose. The real nasal organ bad gone
under in a street fight, and he went to a
flesh patoher for an artificial nose. He
had been supplied with one of celluloid
instead of horn, hence his mishap.
The deoline in the rural population of
the older Provinces of the Dominion is
owing principally to the attractions of
the great western Provinces. Farming
in the older Provinces never paid better
than at present. Prices for all kinds of
produce are high, and the demand is
greater than the supply in some lines.
Farmers cannot get hands to do their
work, and the productiveness of the
country is greatly curtailed on that ac-
count. This explains the rapidity with
which thousands of immigrants are ab-
sorbed, without to any extent apparent -
satisfying the needs of the country.
Railway contruotion and the building
of rolling stock are also delayed for want
of skilled as well as unskilled workers.—

dairymen. As a whole, the results of
the analysis have been quite satisfactory,
but in tea cases it has been found that
oleomargarine had been used as an
adulterant, It is against the law to
either import or manufacture eleomar-
garine in Canada, and the Department
of Justice will prosecute the offenders.
