HANGED A BLOOD. INDIAN. Dutlean &* D. Campbell Was Me- . Leod's First Sheriff. : Anon. the quite distinguished old-timers "in the, Canadian West, | o Duncan J. D'Urban Campbell, late! sheriff of Macleod Judicial District, occiipies a prominent 'place. Born at St. Hilaire, Quebec, on July 16, 1855, young pbell was educated at his home schonis and at 'Bishop's College, at Lennoxville: | He entered the Bank of Montreal in 1874 and resigned in 1882. When the Regina settlers came West to colonize a new land, he was with them, but shortly afterwards came on to Macleod at the invitation of Lieut.-Col. Irvine, commissioner of Mounted Police. He © was under contract to supply beef to the In- dians on the western reserve till the Canadian Pacific Railwtay reached Qleichen. During that time he also supplied the railway dining service as far as' Morley, Alta. He was inted one of the. five deputy s of the territories in uf pi in ap- ni | pointed postmaster at Macleod. He occupied the position of deputy ' Bheriff D, J. Campbell, sheriff until April, 1897, when the Supreme Court was organized, in Alberta, and he was made sheriff of the South Alberta judicial dis- trict, which position he held till the organization of the Province, when 'he was appointed sheriff of Macleod Judicial District. Mr. Campbell had 'one of the largest judicial dis- tricts in Western Canada, requiring gix bailiffs. He superintended the hanging of Charcoal, the only Blood Indign that ever paid the death penalty, at Macleod. This déspérado mur- dered an Indian on his own reserve and then shot a Mounted P Sergeant Wilde, in the discharge of his duties on patrol. Mr. Campbell also made arrangements for the Ses Su of a Chinaman and @ Qali- cian at Macleod.

Only] vers that have an abtn- ellow or orange shades phosphorescence. The 2 {best time to see the light is after a (when the atmosphere is clear dry. The light is sometimes , but often intermittent and hai. in the oan} fall the ground 'will be illuminated Ys the glow from the dead leaves. The Australian poppy is the most remarkable of all uminous plants, for it has been found to send out a light of its own f quite notable brilliancy. O Mash shrooms growing on decayed wood often have a 'degree of bril- liancy that, when they are placed on & newspaper, will enable one to read the words in their vicinity with no other light. One species of mushroom in Australia, 16 inches in diameter, was of such brilliancy that, seen from a distance, its light frightened the natives. More interesting than the lumi- nous plants are the luminous ani- mals, The Pacific coast, famous for its many curious specimens of plant and animal life, is the home of many of them, Of all these the Ascidians are most noteworthy. One of them, the Py- rosama, was seen first as a blaze as big as a bucket. When captured it was found to be a foot long 'and open at one end, at which there was a faint light. When touched the light at once blazed forth into a vivid silver phosphorescence. One of the animals kept in a dark room furnished enough light for the read- ing of medium-sized print. The creatures are of almost inde- geribable beauty, and by their radiance when moving about under water near-by fish can be discermed. Bibra, the British naturalist, uti- lized the animals for light, and. a half-dozen of them at one side of a small room would furnish sufficient light for the reading of a news- paper at the other side. Jrabs are notable light- -givers, and the Salpa, of California, is the most wonderful of all. Bodies of water 20 miles square have been seen glowing with them, and in the | Santa Catalina Channel one natur- alist reported that as far as the eye could see the creatures lay gleam- ing like gems in the sunlight. Many luminous frogs have been discovered from time to time, and any frog may be made luminous by | inoculating it with certain bacteria which produce this phenomenon. Many theories have been brought forward to explain the phenomenon of luminosity, but as yet very little is known about it. In many in- stances, such as the cases of dead leaves or decayed wood, luminosity i8 evidently due to fungus growth, but in other cases, where no growth can be seen, the riddle re- mains unsolved, along with many other marvels of nature. : Vian POLITICAL: REP.

In a recent article on the humors of British elections, Mr. Brian Phil- lips declares that Mr. (ladstone al: ways awarded [the palm for political repartee to his great opponent, Dis- raeli, because of a retort he made to dly crowd quite éarly in | consfield; then scarcely known, was standing. for Parliament against years | Colonel Grey, who had the powerful Tre. | backing of the great Whig family of that ni 2.

Wien the Present. Chancellor of Soames Extra Granulated SUGAR ee -------------------------------------------- bringing-up, was asked a similar | question, he scored as swiftly and 'even more severely. The heckler unwisely inquired if he remembered that. his grandfather used to drive a donkey and cart. "You will have to forgive me, ladies and gentlemen,"" Mr. Lloyd- George apologized; "the cart had quite escaped my memory, but I see the donkey is living yet." A parallel case in which the young aristocrat proved as. able as the self-made man to hold his own when jeered at, was that of Viscount Lewisham, a protectionist, or, as the English say, "tariff reform" candidate, who was suspected of a lack of sympathy for the poor, be- cause of his too fortunate birth. "Yah!" cried a ragged listener, as he began to speak. "You wants to tax our food!" "Be calm, my good man,'"' the viscount reassured him. "We don't intend to tax thistles." A temperance orator, speaking during the same campaign, was so frequently interrupted by a rowdy in the crowd that the rest, even those who had been at first hostile, turned against the offender, and there were lusty shouts of 'Turn him out!' 'No, don't turn him-out,"' sug- gested the speaker, mildly. "Turn him upside down, and let the beer run out of him." The suggestion, although it was not literally complied with, met the uproarious: favor of the audience, which remained wholly friendly to the orator to the end of his address. Most of the type used by Chinese Piintors is made in Japan. "Madan, do you give any of your time for self-reflection 9' 'Certain- ly I do. What do you suppose looking-glasses are made for?'
