ASYLUMS Hill Unl'NKAIIDS. The Nelson Miner, commenting on tbe report issued by the Prohibition Commission, who were sitting last week in Ottawa, says: " It tuok four pages to carry it. It might have been written on four pages or less. In fact the one word ' bosh,' is all that was necessary in reporting on a proposal to institute prohibition. Prohibition is not the cure for drunkenness, There is only one way to cure it. Treat a drunkard as a lunatic is treated. Send him to a special asylum where the various cures can be tried on him, and keep him there till they kill him or cure him," This may, or may not, be an efficient titude of treatment, at any rate it sounds a little harsh, Granting, bow- ever, that the Milter's views could be put into practise, may we be permitted to follow Iho argument further ? While tbe unfortunate drunkard behind his asylum walls is being physicked with the cores of Mr. Keeley and others, the greater sinner, the man who aupplied the confirmed drunkard with the cause of . his miserable condition, basks in the sunshine of smiling prosperity. This does not commend itself to British sense of justice. The Miner should therefore add to its proposition that the dispensers of intoxicants should be Ihe builders of the necessary asylums, and thu sole contributors to the support of the inmates. This, we think, would even more effectually check con- Armed drunkenness than even prohibition, ►•■< FOREIGN MINING NOTES. SHIPMENTS I-'ROSI TRAIL CBEEK.

LOW SMELTER CHARGES, The proprietors of the Josie arc congratulating themselves upon Ihe low price charged by-the smelter for the treatment of llieir ore, which is only 10 cents per ton. The cost of smelting the ore is based oo a sliding scale, dependent on the excess of iron over silica. In this case it was over 10 pet- cent, hence the small fee.

The ltussland .Miner reports the recent discovery of a claim in Sloney creek, tho White Elephant, the assay returns from wliieli ate unusually high, showing $28 in gold and 70 ounces in silver. Stouey creek is only four miles distant, from Rossland, and the find |ias attracted a number of prospectors from the bitter place. SALE OF THE NICKEL PLATE, The Nickel Plate, one nf the richest properties in Trail creek, has been sold, MINERS1 8OPBR8TIT0TIONS, The old miners' superstition that when one of their number meets with death by accident, two more will follow within a few weeks, has been fully exemplified during the lust week. Sunday morning an accident happened at the Bams mine by which two men lost their lives, and while I heir former companions were assembling yesterday to pay their last respects to the dead, Charles l\. Simmons fell 100 feet in Ibe shaft of the Gagiion and was dashed lo pieces.—Butte Miner. CAPITALISTS 1'TIOM FRANCE, A large parly of capitalists from Paris, France, is 011 ils way out to Oariboo, B.

At Lillooet last Tuesday, while a number of men were working on Mc Donald aud Hurley's mineral claim,, the earth gave way as I he props 011 the shaft were being removed, aud a mav named John Farrell was literally bur. ied alive. His dead body was reeov. ered after several boors' hard work. AN UNEXPECTED FIND, Charles Sweeney, the well-knows mining operator, brought news from Trail creek, B. C, to Spokane, that has eniiched the prospects of the stock* holders of the War Eagle mine $1,1X10,. 000. A parallel vein of ore has beeq discovered in this mine, greater in richness than the vein now being oper. ated. The discovery was accidental, Although the mine has heen consid. ered a bonanza since early in its de. velnpuient, it wns never suspected that another and richer vein existed. The Kansas City Smelting Company, nbout a month ago offered $1,000,000 for the mine, hut Ihe majority of the stockholders wanted more. Now the mine is not for sale, ►**-« - The Arguments of Mono-Motalllsta, The Province, whose utterances are beginning to carry decided wight among a large class of readers, thus sapicntly comments on tbe change of attitude now adopted by niono-metal* lists towards their opponents of the op, posite creed: "It is worthy of note that the Btyle of argument employed by niononietal* lists bus recently changed, The doub. le-standard men are no longer treated. as congenital idiots with criminal pro, pensitics, but are reasoned with on de, tails believed to bu fatal to the lib metallic theory. For example, if the ratio to be proposed for international adoption is not forthcoming on inquiry, bi-metnllists are held to be defeated all along the line. The ratio between the melals is a matter that by the nature of the ease only can he settled by inter, national agreement, No private bi- mctullist, whatever his economic eminence may he, is able to do more than suggest what tho ratio should he, The pussible repudiation of the pro, posed agreement regulating the use 0" the precious metals, ns a weapon of war, is another point upon which Ihe "gold bugs "set great store. The difficulties are great, and the objections to any conceivable course of action flW innumerable. But. the public interest beneath the surface and the sense of suffering is so keen, that many hold any change will be a change for the, better in the present state of affairs, The bi-metallic Lcugue, which held its meeting at tliu Mansion House in Lon, doo the other day, had tn report; con, siderable progress, not confined to one part of the world, in the movement for currency reform. This progress is un, doubtedly due to n very large extent tu the unusually active propaganda which the League has carried on. Yet that the case for hbuietaUlem has been proved, nr thnt all who have been infill*, eneed by the League bave become com verts lo It, is too much to assume, Doubt and inquiry are lbe attitude. Which many have been led to assume, but doubt and Inquiry are necessary precludes to thoughtful examination of any Important question, Tbe main objections to hl-metnllilin win only bu proved groundless by experiment, and it biuHs very much us it experiment will shortly be made," A Vrtcrun Smoker, Mrs. Sarah Thomas, centenarian, of Burryport, Llanelly, whn last year received a cheque of £5fls. from the Princess ot Wales, or a shilling for each natal anniversary, has just celebrated her one hundred and seventh birthday.

A very admirable, little work has re- peutly been published in Chicago with the above title, dealing with a question (vhose vital aspects uru nuiy all but pnivcrsully rfcqgnized. An intuyiiuXiupal nilpptiop of a bi- pietallic standard of coioi(ge is the one remedy which iB likely to relieve the commercial and financial depression which has m,|i|c itself felt throughout |hi! world. To prove this, "Coin's Financial School" evidently was written, and we can confidently recommend to those to whom the matter hns interest a pernSttJ of llle book. It is a great pity that otherwise so roimneudahlc a work as "Coin's Financial School" should mar the effect of jts general argument by descending to Iho level assumed hy the "jingo" and bj-iiggadocio school of the American politician, Declamatory diatribes against England will unfortunately ever gain applause from a certain class of an American audience, and the author pf the " Financial School," iipt content to receive the meed ot praise due the lucid exposition pf his eeon- piuic convictions., has demeaned himself in his desire for chenp popularity by pandering to Ihe lower instincts of |iis countrymen. The United State* fl-ves much tl England-ztierhaps this is ber reason pr jealousy and dislike. England has developed American mines, fanned American territory, built American railroads. Ip fact, it is stated that j|5,qq(L0QtV00Q is not an under-csli. mat ion of the value of American bonds ppnn which money has been advanced jiy English capitalists, This money was advanced in gold and is repayable jn gold. The American, therefore, has pot the slightest ground for complaint tVliy ail aitreetneht in whicli he liiiii- fe.|f acquiesced, sh-mld not lie carried (int. ■ •" .. ASOP TO CERBERUS? The advertisement this week calling for tenders for the conveyance of Her Majesty's Mails, on a proposed biweekly contract between Grand Forks iind Penticton, will, doubtless, he ■•cad with nn little suprise and gratification. Surprise, such as experienced by the, miner, who, havj'iig laid his train and applied the match, waits for tlie result, which is so long delayed (hat further 'investigation appeals in*, eyitable, when, with a splutter and bang, the explosion takes place. The gratification, ever sweeter, of hope Jong deferred at length satisfied, Yel pot quite gati><fl«d. A bi-weekly mail service,will bean appreciable Improvement upon tbe system to which we are now*ccnstoined i but wilh thu development of the country at the present rapid rate of progress, a still more frequent and efficient system of mail- carriage, existing not only between Grand Forks and Penticton, but. connecting wilh the railroad at. Marcus, will be demanded. It would be unwise, however, to •mint our chickens before they nre latched. It is true tenders are called or, but that does not. naturally imply that a bi-weekly mail service will follow. The advertisement calling for lenders may have been issued upon tbe Uiisiitulerslaiiding between Mr. Stuart |inil Mr. Miller anent the additional expense'that would be incurred by the postal department for the more efftci- (ml. service: which was placed at $1100, a figure, whicli appears to be much below a rightf.il estimate. If the tenders have been invited und.ilthe assumption (hat''this statement nf slight additional cost oh the present service is correct, the Government, upon further investigation, may discover that the proposed sop to Cerberus, even on the eve of ll general election,»too expensive a titbit, with which to pacify Ihe monster; (tin!

The silence of I li.'-L»'Ul^Governor on the matter would indicate a desire ou Ilis jiurt to spare the feelings of the municipal boitv. Sitrely, however, the mailer is still iiiide'r. consideration, and Ihe reply, when received, will no doubt give great SafrSfactlim to those desirous of practicing municipal economy.

Mr. T. Carrier is driving cattle over (to Sheep creek for Mr. T. Manley. Mr. Jackson is away in the Okan •agan searching for missing horses. Mr. Pete McCulluni Is cutting a trail from Grand Prairie to Sheep creek. Mr.-McAuley SoM last week a very Une span of young colts to Messrs. Mori iniur-Lanili and Roberta. Work on the road between Bound- ,ai-y Falls and the Summit has beep completed, and the road is now in ■tpluiiiliil condition. Mr. Win. G. McMynn will take possession of the Government buildings, Midway, this week, and all those who Jiave locations to record will lind him Jiere. The picnic, as was intimated last woek, will take place next Saturday. We trust that everyone will do their mtmout to make the outing as great a success as possible. All newcomers and those who do not call regularly once a week at the post - offices of our various settlements for their mail should leave their names with the postmaster, who will then endeavor to keep their letters till called for. There can be no doubt but that the rains of the last few daye will nuiteri- ,ally assist the growth of the crops, particularly where irrigation is not practiced. Vegetables are beginning to (show above the ground, and hay crops Jook decidedly promising, The Kettle river last Wednesday rose to n ithin two or three feet of the height reached during the unprecedented flood of last year. This large ■volume of water flowing at the present time is all the more extraordinary, as the winter was extremely mild, and therefor the snow on the hills not so great as is usual. Being of a modest disposition, Dr. Jakes will probably resent any allusion to the plucky way in which he acted on Friday night last. The doctor, as we have.announced, was unfortunate enough to break his leg ou Wednesday, aud yet, barely forty- eight hours within the occurrence of the accident, he insisted on visiting a patient who was in need of his atten (inn. Such conduct is in the highest degree praiseworthy. A happy event took place on Thursday last, the 21st of May, in the marriage nf Mr, Bart Inghrnm to Miss Susie McClung. The wedding service was held al tbe house of Mr.JKcougli, tti Colville. Mr. and Mrs. Inghram returned on Friday to Midwuy; antl took up their abode iu their house near Ihe hotel, which recently was comfortably finished in the inside. Mr. Inghram is well aud favorably known throughout the district, and his bride is not a stranger to the people of Midway. We ham Lily join in the the geneiul expression of good wishes to thu happy couple, On Saturday a farmer was offering for sale iu Midway, a waggon-load of apples, for the very respectable sum of $3 per Imx of 60 lbs. The apples were brought from Colville, and were fair ■specimens of the Northern Spy variety in excellent condition. The owner stated that he bad experienced no difficulty in disposing of his fruit in Grand Prairie at $3.50 per box. Surety when such prices its thesu re obtainable, with a climate fully the equal to that, of Colville, the farmers of this district would find it to their advantage Lo turn their attention to apple culture. Mr.'IIaine is expecting next week a large consignment of goods, and to lieing the barber and tobacconist he will further liecome the toyman, stationer, druggist, and bookseller of the village. Mr. Haine certainly deserves to succeed, for he is showing much enterprise and pluck in the face of, what Some might consider, averse conditions. For instance, in ordering a small supply pf tobacco lust week, some thirty pounds, he fqund upon delivery that the expressage aggregated nearly $4 from Vancouver. To make a profit on goods, such as tobacco, while these outrageously exorbitant express rates nra enforced, is out of the question. The many friends of Dr. Jakes, resident physician of this district, will regret to near of the unfortunate accident which befell him hist Wednesday. Tlie horse the doctor was riding lost ils footing and full oh the sloping entrance to the livery stable, which had become slippery from the ruin. So quickly did I his occur that the doctor had no time to take his feet from the stirrups, iiiid consequently he received Ihe full weight of the animal on his light leg, fracturing it below (he knee, Dr. Jakes was taken to the Midway Hotel, where the injured limb was soon attended to. He passed a fairly comfortable night, and the feverish symptoms had entirely disappeared hy the following (Thursday) morning. 4-.4± Pjvposed Annexation of Newfoundland, The following is the basis of the annexation of Newfoundland as a province of the Dominion: 2, Canada will assume the debt of Newfoundland, $8,300,0(10, and also an excess of debt amounting to $2,000,000. 2. Canada will pay as ii yearly allowance to Newfoundland a sum aggregat, ing $465,000. She will also maintain all that class of services in Newfoundland under the head of general or Dominion, and.also main lain, in regard to steamship services, passenger and mail comiuunica. tion, in at least as efficient a service as at present. These terms of confederation, it is stated, will undoubtedly lie rejected when submitted to the Ppivfoundlnnd Legislature, MINING NOTE3. The horse whim for the Emma claim, Summit camp, is now on the road from Marcus. Mr. W. C. Adams went up to the Cordick, Summit camp, on Wednesday last. There are over 70 locations on Sheep creek. One company alone lias made 15 locations. Mr. J. Grant located the Chance It, at Rock creek falls, near Camp McKinney, on. May 18. Mr. E. P, Sijyilaui has made a location, a south of extension of the Jewel, but the name has not yet transpired. Mr. L. Wiseman has made a rich location some three miles up the north fork of Kettle river, the assay returns being $100 in gold to the ton, Hnralin Bros., with J. Lynch and Pete Helstab, started last week for the west fork of Kettle river, where the two latter have lately made locations. The Hidden Treasure, Providence camp, was located May 14th by Hamlin Bros. The ledge is about 4J feet wide, and contains iron and copper sulphates. The Gold Drop, Greenwood camp, has been bonded by Mr. J. Hetu to Messrs, Reid k King. This claim is an extension of the Monarch, and the ledge is over 100 feet wide, A north extension of the Jewel, Gold Drop camp, was located on the 12th of May by Mr, Peterson. The Black Diamond, 1 mile north of the Gold Drop, was located on the 10th hy the same fortunate finder, Bosshart and Dittmer are down 7 feet on the Gold Drop, sacking the ore as they take it out, The vein is2} feet, with no foot wall. The hanging wall is not. yet struck, It is expected that the vein is very much wider, as only 100 yards away it appears to be nearly C feet wide, The Idaho, on the same ledge as the Gold Drop, Gold Drop camp, and north of the Golden Eagle, was located May 8th by Mr. J. Lucy. Hydraulic mining is being engaged in on Salmon river at a point near Rose lake, in the Salmon river valley, The parties expect to make a guod clean-up, and whilst the water lasts they intend to make a thorough pros, peel of their ground, with a view to very exteucivo operations next year Placer mining in the province is engaging i great amount of attention at present, and it is reasonable to sup- pose snme at least will lie successful, »-«H GRAND PRAIRIK. (From our own correspondent,) Tbe bell for the church at Grand Prairie arrived last week from Troy, N. Y., U.S.A. There will I* no ex- cuss now for tardy worshippers, for the now bell's tones are sonorous and will be heard all over the valley. We understand this great acquisition to the church belongings is the gift of an eastern gei|tlui||lin who is also presenting the Kirk with a large stove for the coming winter. A new store is shortly to be opened (the building being now under way) by Mr. Win. Guidon, from Vernon. Mr, E. Spraggett is going to irrigate his ranch by means of wells and windmill power, pumping the water uut of the wells, this summer. A ferry is now in operation on the river, four miles below McLaren's bridge. It is expected a gang of men will lie put in charge of Road Superintendent MoGinnisatonce. During Mr. P, B. Nelson's absence absence on business, Mr. H. Crippen- ilen will attend on all purchasers at the Reservation store. Mr. Tom Humphrey returned from an extended trip to the east on Thursday last, Mr. Ed. Covert has injured his right foot, A heavy horse fell on it. Mr. J. E. Boss apd Mr. S. Mangott Ivft for Greenwood camp on Saturday last. On the 211 h Lhe British flag floated from Mr. Paton's manse and McLaren's Hotel, and gav« evidence to the loyalty of the inhabitants. Dance at Grand Prairie. The dance at Grand Prairie, held in celebration of Her Majesty's birthday, was from every point of view most enjoyable. The floor wa's in good condition, the decorations tasteful and appropriate, and the music, which was supplied liy Mr, McLaughlin's hand, left little to be desired. The supper, tuo, which was served in (he course of the evening, is described by our representative, who was present, as "wondrous," and the Messrs. McLaren aie tn be congratulated upon, .the complete success attending their efforts, and upon the opening of the new hall. The following ladies represented Grand Prairie: Misses McLaren, Miss Wason, Mis. Spraggett, Miss Hofmitn, Mrs. Keiiughan, Miss Ward. Those from Midway and Ilnnudary Falls were: Miss Hattie Hopper, Miss Nettie Hopper, Mrs. T. Hardy, Mrs. Lundy and Miss McAuley, Dentil of Mr. Ralph Ntcumaiiii. On Moodily night lust Mr. Ralph Stevenson, of Vernon, passed to Ins account after a. lli'lgeHiiK i|lnm». His death, will lie Inuch regretted, for his straightforward and generous character hai| won the respect and regard of all with whom he came in contact, Ml1, Stevenson came to this country from Manitoba about two years ago, originally having come from Congli- ton, Cheshire, England, where he practiced his profession of the law. Asa solicitor he had few equals in the province. His illness was caused by heart disease, from which he had lieen a sufferer for a loug time past. The funeral took place on Wednesday, the Rev.

Even imturo gives us positive proof of this condition In hoc ninny changes of seasons and by hor complete donning each timo of something ii-esli and new, which shows It Is a guod thing to do. Spring, the youngest, and seemingly tho most favored of all tho seasons, generally brings with It a superabundance of all that Is bright and attractive, and tho feminine heart especially leaps high at the sight of ull thii results of the manufacturer's artistic pluming that havu found ox- prosslon jn ribbons nnd velvets, silks and muslins, lliiwiim, feathers and lace. The girls' hearts are turning just now very seriously to tho lieautlos of tho now t-prlng bunnoU, for such dainty confec- t ions uf a woman's tollut am especially deserving of consideration this season.

For day wear, Inclusive of all occasions, hupping, calling and receptions, large at-H wilh droupiug blooinB will lie moBt- !y ln vogue.

A novelty for tho first days of spring ll n molro felt, os soft as a Leghorn straw, alnned Into any elinpo desired liy means ,.f loug, fancy headed pins, with n"Gol- iiiiel" aigrette finishing tho back, and fastened just above the coil of hair. For evening wear the most exquisite tiling that met my eyo was a small mquo consisting of a heavy gold cord . rown, designed ln a conventional pat- -.ern, with turquolso blue velvet forming .road limps on curb side of the front; pro- luing tho desired broad effect to tho ii'ad. Gold wings appeared just above lie loops of velvet, while resting at the ..irting of tlio hair was'a knot of velvet, fastened with a rhineslono buckle. Tiny pink and blue forget-me-nots poop out iiere and there from the folds of bluo velvet, n bunch forming an aigrette effect at ilie front and, couiblnod with volvet, auisiied the back. In tho Continental shape was a lovely 'liing with jet foundation, Immense fan Imw of delicately tinted Dresden ribbon, for front trimming separated just above llio forehead by a Jet buckle. Immense. -laeijiie ruses uf a deep roil tint, out of •rhlch came bird of Paradise feathers, formed a lovely finish fur tho hock. The prettiest of Iho now ribbons are those uf Preaden patterns; tho foundation colors being of the most dollcnte tints, with tiny flowers, In exact counterpart ol the Ilri'Kdon ohlna ware. | A revival of many, old-time ribbons, mostly those ln vogue shout 1830, are observable, but have not as yet gained full sway. j The quaintest sort of headgear possible and charmingly suitable, the Prlsotlla mylod beamy, Is the Dutch bonnet and lioia Is tho Idea. Tho luilf moon shape Ib designed Is dark! green Velvet. Red' and cream roses aro \ cunningly hunched In front; the book! curved and finished iu velvet. Just back of tho cars comes a bunch of cream lace, fastened with gold oraamonts and roses to correspond with the front trimmings. Broad streamers of cream satin ribbon fall below tho waist, and prove a fitting ilnlsh to this odd creation. If one had suggested somo months since a combination of chiffon edged with ;•■■. e it leather, for lint trimming a gon- nraliy incredulous feeling as to Its fitness would linvo lieen readily oxpressod. Yot it Is tho pretttost nnvelty of tho year. A high peaked crown, just, such a shape as tlm Mother Gooso favored, Is niodo entiro'v of 'intent loathor, with a brim of -bin-id chiffon finished at the edge with narrow strips of tho samo glazy black niatortnl. Soft plumes curl nliout the crown aid droop gracefully over tho hair, truly a symphony hi black and white. Inexpensive and dainty is the now material called trickaline, and ovorwhioh iho gauzlost uf chiffon looks well. It combines delicacy with strength and Is nv st desirable, as for years ono has been obliged to shirr thin materials ovor. Thoro is a marked Improvement In tho iewels for millinery use. They do not offend tho eye as ln former years, and no aretty evening toque ts complete without them, and rhlnustonos lead the. day. Imitation grasses are graceful and wear well. ijtiues spangled ln gnld nnd sliver ore used on overy possible occaslonn, and Impart a soft grace and expression to the face of tlio wearer, and parlioularly when used to form the "ear loops." There is a whisper that violets must go, ai they are altogether too common, but si Hi they trim some of tho prettiest of tho opera toque*. Very often a hat is scon that has a crown of close and a brim nf open straw, wilh huge pink and rod rows bunched here and there, and producing a very flowery and pretty offeot. Fnr very dressy occasions a to-quo, composed entirely nf primroses Is lovely enough for a queen.

In the Portuguese possessions of Angola, before the year 16W, the clrcuJMiiig medium consisted of small mats woven from a species of straw, and whteh the natives called lllwiigos. Each llbongo re- presented a valuo of five rels. The sub- Itltution of popper coin for thlscurloue straw money came near bringing about a revolution, and was tho cause of the death of many. As a me Hum of the trade among tho aborigines of California, sea- ears of obalono (Hallotldes) Jnyvo been highly esteemed both for their imutj anil their Importance when used aa shell money, the shells In the latter ease being cut into strips of from one to two Inches ln length, according to tho curvlturo of the shell, and about one-third as wldo as long. Those wore Btrung on a string and UBed lwth ss money and o/flaments. Tho string bore the name ot uhl-o or aultrao. As an illustration of the purchasing power of an nlialone, It may be stated that tn Now Mexico a house has bees traded for a single shell, From the reign of Honry I, down to ths period ill the establishment of the bank of England, tho legal tondv money of England was fabricated nut of wood. This 'Instrument was milled an enduing" tally, and, by virtue of it, the holder was entitled to KH*u|yo from the crown the vnluo prescrilwd Itaoon. It really consisted of une half of a four-sided rod, or staff, on which, when In Its entire slate, the stun It purported to represent was carved ln transverse notches, varying in width for thousands, hundreds, scores, ■suimls, shillings nnd ponce. Fnr tho advantage ef those who could read the sum was written tn Ink on two opposite Bides of tho staff, and, finally, with a knlfo and mallet the sniff Itself was split ln two longitudinally. One half, called Iho (ally, or check, was given to tlio person for whoso service It was Intended; tho other half, called the counter tally, was laid up for safe keeping until lls corresponding tally should he brought In liy tho person who had last given valuo for It. Its Intrinsic vnluo was, of course, only that of tho wuod of which It was composed, bnt, by representation, It denoted large sums. It was a current token nf real money nnd served actually to distribute It from man to man by this exchange. From this primitive tally was derived tho excheqiior bill, first lntrodood ln 10*1 by Mr. Montague, tho chancellor of the exchequer. The wunl "bill," too, was no doubt derived from tho old French |bllle, which means a staff. Bank post bills and bills nf. exchange in our own day come fnnn thp samo wooden base, and soldiers in England are still said to be "billeted," because formerly tlioy tendor, al wooden "blllos" for tallies to the vie. tunlors upon whom they wore quartered. In nlilun times officers of the army who wore taken Into the King's own pay wore said to be put on the staff—that is, thoy were paid with exchequer . talllee, or wooden money.—London Public Opinion, IGNORANCE OF THE BIBLE. Modern Literati,™ Filled Wilh lo the Greal Hook. Take this matter of Ignorance of the Bible. Recent statistics show that 11 exist*, to an oxtont inconceivable to any person a generation ago, in college students. - And this Ignoranoe Is disclosed not In attempted religious Instruction, but in the study uf tlio unlluary branches of a literary education tn our universities oni colleges. Tho pupils are entirely unable to' understand n groat mass of illusions ln the masterpieces of English poetry and prose. Borne of those pupils are viotims nf tho ldoa that tho Bible shuuld not be reed by tho young, for they will bo prejudiced tn a religious way before their minds are mature onuugb to select a roll, gion for themsolves. Now, wholly apart from Its religious and from its ethical value, tho Bible Is tho ono book that no Intelligent person who wishes to come Into contact with the world of thought and .to share tho ideas of tho great minds of the Christian era can afford to bo Ignorant of. All modern literature and all art are permeated with it. There Is scarcely a great work ln tlio languages that can bo fully understood and enjoyed without this knowledge, so full Is tt of Illusions nnd Illustrations from the Bible. This is true of fiction, of poetry, of economic and uf philosophic wurks, and also of the scientific and even agnostic treatises. I, Is not at all a question of religion, or tho, plogy, ur nf dogma, It Is a question ot general intelligence. A buy or a girl at college, ln tho presence of the wurks so, for olthor to master, without a fair kow. lodge uf tho Bible, is an Ignoramus, and Is disadvantaged accordingly. It is In it- pelf almost a liberal cducal Inn, as ninny great masters In literature havo testified, It has so entered Into law, literature, though tho whole mudcrn llfo uf the Christian world that Ignorance uf tt Is a piost serious disadvantage to the student. How this is to bo overcome In our mn, phlno system Is a gravo question. It re, suits partly from tho discontinuance of |ho use of tho Bible In tho public schools, put mnro especially from tho ohango iq |he estimation ln which It Is hold ln the family. In comparison with Its position |n the family a general ion ago, It Is now a neglected bcKik. It Is neglected as litem, turn. There nre sevorol suggestions fo> reviving Interest in It. One nf them le already ln uperatlon ln Sunday school work. Another Is Its study ns literature |n the schools nnd colloges. But wo bo, jlovo that tho change will only como effectively by nttentlon to tho fundamental cause uf this Ignorance, tho neglect of Its use ln the homo in childhood. If its great treasures are not a part of growing ohllillioou, lhey will always bo external of tho late possessor.

C. KUYI The Divining Hod. A gentleman recently wrote to one of the provincial mining papers nskiug to be inforined where the iiecille used liy propectoi-8 fur locating ore veins jvas to lie obtained. He received in reply an answer directing a neai.t-h in tt iiuyinow as the must likely spot for such an article, Tlie facelious reply, however, loses its point, if the following from a correspondent of the Mont, real Herald bus any 'truth : Few people believe ill the divining rod as a lueaiis for locating minero* veins, In act, it is generally regarded us a fake, ut last fall two parties came here from Toronto to prospect in this way. iThey had not only ti divining rod, but lilso a new theory us to the mode of occurrence of the gold leads in this district. -Tbey maintained that the num- eroiis small gold hearing veins on the surface were mere croppings of large mother lodes thut hud been covered over with lava Hows and drift. They located several of such lodes, und in the most unlikely places. The old frospectois and miners laughed or hook their beads, and especially when the parties claimed to be able to tell the percentage of mineral in the ore and the exact depth uf each ludc below the groimij, But iu two casus, tine nearMurkslay nud the other in lbe township of Oreighton, the diamond di ill has proved, strange us it may seem, Unit lhey were not so fur aslmy after all. In the one case Ibey found gold aud platinum at 10) feet from tbe S|*rfuce, and iu the othor case free gold at a depth of 180 feet. These are undeniable facts. They say there is mother large gold and silver lode nn lilt 4, cave 1, Deiiison, a few miles from he once famous Vermillion mine. ►-♦< Kaalo's Hallway. There cnn he no doubt now of the construction of the Kaslo and Slocan railway this summer. Fully three carloads of supplies were purchased by the contractors last week in Victoria, from 8. Leiser k Go. The contract has been awarded to Messrs, Faley is Guthrie, nl St. Paul, well known in railway construction circles. A. Guthrie, the junior partner of the linn, was in Spokane a few days since, accompanied liy Obits. Hallcot, engineer in charge, Both gentlemen were looking over the ground, prior to commencing work, lu answer to a query as to when the work of construction would begin, he said it was impossible at this time lo state diflnitely. The final surveys are being made, and when completed, jvhich he said would he soon, the work nf construction will be commenced. The present trip, he staled, Is being made largely for the purpose of looking up matters relative to securing supplies, etc., for the work of construction. . ,,—,—, pood Times ln Kootenay. Never were so many men drawing f'ay in Kootenay as now, says the Nel- , on Tribune. The payrolls are not all at one place. At Hossland the nay- rolls of the mines and local enterprises will aggregate $1,000 a day ; at Nelson and immediate vicinity, $100; nt Pilot Bay, $150; at Ainswiirth, $250; at Kaslo, the building of the Knslo k Slocan railway will cause fully $1,500 a day to be disbursed for sovoral months; in the Slocan the payrolls (vill aggregate $500 a day even now when little more than dead work is being done at any of the mines, It is safe to say that the disbursements for wages in southern Kootenay aggregate $120,000 a month, and what is better still, the mines of the country are producing every dollur that is he-, lug disbursed. — 4. <—— l.'tiinnnuin is generally terse nnil lo ine point, and it is the whlteinan's fault if hu fails lo understand Its (jrlft. Tin Hindoo, however, as Ibe following will show, is often ambiguous, not to say incoherent in his utterances, The fol* lowing is a purl, of a petition that was presented to a political resident of a native state, from "a poor man in the agricultural behaviour," praying for for relief, who subscribed himself "your honour's damnable." The petitioner, after an elaborate preamble, went on tu say; "Wherefore befalls upon his family's bended knee and implores merciful consideration." " Your lordship's bumble servant," be proceeded, "was too much poorly during the late rains und was resuscitated by much medicines, which made magnificent excavations in the coffers of your humble servant, with large family of five female women nnd three masculine, the last of whom are still Inking milk from mother's chest, and are damnably nuiseful through pulmonary catastrophe of theii erior abdomen." And so on. An Inillun's I'liiicrul. The dentil of a noted Indian occurred ou the Still Pool a few days since, and was followed by y funeral ceremony of remarkable Impresslvenocs. Some 200 siwusht's hud gathered about, and tin deceased, placed in a etude box pro cured from one Boston man, which was usi-il as a coffin. The solemn ceremony wus commenced liy prayers and singing. After singing several verses lhey all marched single, tilt- in a circuit until a complete circle wns formed, and continuing the march Hie foremost ones leading inside of the outside circle until three distinct circles were formed around the coffin, which sat on a piece of level ground sclented for the pill', pose, each chanting a mournful sound. After the chief lead in prayer, with all the si|iuii>:_; ai-outid close and the bucks circled outside, the procession moved off to the burial ground, The march was made with order and solemnity that would do credit to any people us well as siwushc;--. When the grave was reached the solemn ceremony mentioned above was repealed aud more prayers and singing, while the brother of the deceased kept up a continual wailing. The squaw known to be his wife gave away bis old clothes and gun, and his band of cayuses were distributed among his relatives and friends, 7 4 t 4 Order for Largo Timbers.

Geo. M. Forster, one of the principal stockholders of the Le Roi miniiigcoin- pany, has sold a part of his stock, over 80,000 shares. The purchasers are said to lit Montan.it mining capitalists, and the price is reported to be $1 per share. Mr. Forster was not inclined lo discuss the sale when seen by a reporter (asl night. He smiled wilh satisfaction as he dually admitted that he hud (nude a sale of slock, "How much did you sell?" he was asked. "I sold part of my stock." "How niany shares?" " Something over 60,000 shares." '"How much ii share?" "One dollar a share," "Isn't that un exceptionally good price for Le Roi stuck r ' "Yes, it is lhe highest price it ever brought. Three months ago Le Roi stock was selling at lu cents." "Whn were lhe purchusesrs'r"i', " I really don't know, Tno side w made through a middle mall, I until stand the purchasers aru Montana men, but further than that 1 can't say." "You sill retain stock in the Le Roi?" ' "Oh, yes, I still have stuck in it, and ( havo oilier interests, I haul as much faith in the mine as I ever hud, and 1 sold part of thy stuck because I got a nattering offer.

The following story is told by a reporter of lhe San Francisco Chronicle: The big curp which occupies lhe pond with the pelican in Golden Gate Park had a most sickening experience, besides startling the beholders, It seems t|',a,t a l.uiy of an Inquiring turn of mind tossed a small piece of shaving soap to the lish to see if the carp would eat it. He did, and has been sorry for it ever since. After Inking the morsel, the carp sunk quietly to the bottom of the pond nnd apparently engaged in deeji thought. Then his eyeballs suddenly dilated and his litis wriggled convulsively. A second later a large bubble, with rainbows in it, ruse to the surface und tloated slowly round in a circle, Tlie carp gasped, and a perfect flood of suds und bubbles gushed from his mouth and gills, lie dashed wildly along the bottom of the pond, coughing up lather enough to run half the barber shops in town. Great rifts of suds, fonin, and bubbles formed on the surface, but still the fish seemed to have a good supply of snap remaining. At times lie leaped clear out of the water, evidently looking for something to take the taste mil nf liis mouth, but not. Iltidlng it the unhappy carp went below again, In the course of twenty minutes lie had bis system comparatively clear of simp, but for the rest of tho day the fish took little or no interest in whal was going on, mm it uii Si 1 1 Hi TS St5 S iiilii^illl^Jiiilllileiififfiillf The Vernon Livery 11 ! .
