The aim of the olher powers is to knock China, down and divide her territory, Russia, Fiance and Germany have striven to undermine British supremacy in China and tbe results of their success are written in murder, ruin and anarchy. If British supremacy throughout Ihe world could be likewise destroyed, tlie nations would degenerate into one vast men igerie, with all the animals turned loose, Canadian poetry might stand higher in the markets of the world if mere tnagai'.iiic ihyiui'Sleis weie not pushed forward as the only representative singers of this country. Verse writers who are given a high place by technical experts may be poets, but they are not Canadian poets in the sense that J. K. Kernighan is a Canadian poet. They labour their thoughts into conventional moulds, hut they do tint re- Heel the meaning of Canadian life or echo the hopes of Canadian heat'is. The correspondent who wishes to know whether Clive Philllps-Wolley cannot compare with Kipling as a poet does an injustice to Mr. Wolley. M". Wolley is not a Canadian except, hy accident or residence, and he is not a poet entitled to rank with the Khan, whose warmest admirers do not regard him as tbe equal of Rudyard Kipling. Genius has nothing to fear from criticism. All the censure of Ihe London critics cannot blow the divine fire out of the Canadian poets.

If the roads in that territory should meet, the cut it means that they will get. $170 on the westward trip, but as tbey lack the easi.hound husiness, having only fruit and comparatively slight shipments of lumber, with a little refined sugar, it means that they will lose heavily on every car of goods handled.

The present rate from Antwerp to Eastern Asia is about $8a ton aud the commodities must Hrst be got to Antwerp before they can be taken even at this rate. Wilh a charge of only $8 from the very heart, of the producing region and tbe quicker transportation that can be made from the United Slales, it is, therefore, considered that the establishment of the new transpacific line of vessels, each capable of carrying 28,000 tons, or nearly 1,000 carloads at a trip, and the cheaper rates will mat k the beginning of a new era in American commerce with the Orient, r+a A Bunco /lining (lame.

There was ono miner there who had a claim whn had a claim on his bunds, and was so profitless that he desired to unload it. He soon hatched n scheme that proved successful, and which yielded hiui a large sum. He hied himself to the gold commissioner and told him Ihut he wished to pay the royalty on the output of theelaim, and afler stating that he had taken out $00,000 in gold dust from the property paid the official the royally of (en per cent on that amount, consisting of $0,000. For (his he received i receipt, which stated that the royalty on claim numbered so and so and on such a creek had been paid for in the sum of just $6,000. So;.n an unsuspecting Englishman came along and asked the claim owner if he had anything to sell. The receipt on Ihe royalty puid on the worthless claim was shown to the Englishman, and the result was that tbe valueless claim was sold lo him for $125,000. The Englishman, afler he had done two or three days' work, realized that he had run up against tbe worst kind of a bunco game, while the "honest" miner had left for sceoes of civilization in order that he might tliere enjoy the fruit* of his fraud. Grave fears are entertained that the smooth prospector who worked the above game was a former Montanian, for the reason that a similar transaction was perpetrated on Mr. Edgerton, some years ago, while he was president of the Second Nat ional Bank of Helena. A prospector residing in Jefferson county for three years paid taxes on a hand of cattle which had no existence, and upon the strength of the tax receipts he secured a credit of eight hundred dollars from the hank and then departed north. — Western Mining World. when 1 len yon mm ..,.,.,„..-, f our town came down here and saw bree fires, two fights, a runaway and a thunderstorm in one .day.

He sat next to me in a ruble car—an innocent looking old man, with a satchel hetween his feet—audi knew Ihal he was wondering about lhe motive power of the car. He looked up and down and around and finally said to me: "Waal, I can't make it out, What kind nf a car is thin anyhow?" "This is a cable line." "Oh, it is! Oot a cable somewhere, Eh?" "Yes, it runs between the tracks and each car has grips on it to catch Ihe cable." "But what runs the cable?" "Big engines in Ihe power bouses." "That's it, el>? Leiiunc put it down in my book." He got out pencil and memorandum hook and jotted down the fact*, and as he finished I remarked that he seemed greatly interested in the cable system. "No; not, so much," he replied. "I put ihem Aggers down because when I get home I'll he asked whnt 1 saw in New York, When I come to tell about the cable cars, there's as many as seven men in my town who'll stand up and say I was drunk." "Are cable cars new to your people?" "Nobody in nur town ever heard of 'em, and I shall prohahly bo called a liar 40 times while telling'em.

Some Interesting Account* of Canadian Bravery and Endurance. One of i he finest lh|ng» tlm* has appeared in news-papei llteratnra comes from the pen of Mr. Garnet, Odium, son of Mr. E. Odium whose descriptive accounts of travel have from lime In lime appeared in lhe Vancouver "World." Mi. Odium in writing!,, Ilti eastern paper describing the march to Paardelierg, "■"d the filial bin glurlnns charge nf the Canadians, iu which a score of ihem went lo Ihcii death and to immortal fame says : "The ceaseless rumble of the transports at length is stilled. The heavy tramp of feet is silenced as lhe long line of tired and thirsty men comes lu a hall. Twenty thme sandy miles nf veldt have lieen coveted, but Ihey know Iheir errand, ami aie eager to press on. Small rations uf coffee, l,ls- cuit and rum are served lhe men, Hark I Boom I Booui I Tis artillery! watch the men now, No sign of languor or weakness. Every one is alert and acl ive. No need nf the order "shun.' Every man is iu bis place, Quick march I They step off, I.nt iheir spirit cannot be hushed. Even a, they marched, some to their death, many to suffer painful wounds or the loss of lin,lis or health, the laughter anil mirth and light-heartedness, almost careless, resound along the lines." " 'Cheer up, you'll soon l.e dead I one lad is heard saying to a comrade. "'Well, if I am 'twill help this u, live,' was the reply, ns lie touched the maple leaf on his helmet. Thai was his last speech," Here are words which should live in Canadian history as the deeds which they record. "If I die,'twill help ihe maple leaf lo live" is the language of a true Canadian. Iiis the waiehward, the battle cry of patriotism. Itis the patriot's version of Ihe watchword ol the cross, of Christianity, "He died that yon may live." Were there ever nobler words spoken? Were there ever words Ihal more truly expressth. feelings of Canadian hearts? Iu I his case they were the death song of n young and indent life. Could any soldier wish that snhlluier wind would he his last? "lf 1 die, 'twill help the maple leaf lo live." This is the spirit iu which the Canadian l.oys left home. It is the ..pirii in whicl they marched to battle in many ai action which has brought new glory li British arms. It is the spirit iu which they all fought, iu which some of Ihem died for their country and their Queen Il is beautiful; il is glorious, Brave hoys are dead, but the maple leaf lives, and lhe Biilish Hair floats over new lands that will henceforth lie the home of freedom and of justice. The maple leaf has earned a place on the Union Jack. The (lev, E. P. Lowery, senior Wes- leyan chaplain with I.ord Robert' nrinj in writing from Jacolndull says in reference to Ihe Canadians : "I was struck most of all by ihe number of noble-looking Canadians among Ihi: big hatch of wounded soldiers, all ol them proudly glorifying in heieg pei- milted to serve and suffer in the nam. of so great a Queen, and in defence- of so great an Empire. Among them 1 found Color Sergeitnt Thompson, th. son of one of our American Methodist ministers, the Rev. James Thom|teon. Resting against tbe inner side of s wagon wheel was a most gentlemanly Canadian shot through the throat, and quite unable to swallow any solids To him, as to several others, I was privileged tn carry a large cup of life- renewing milk. Lying on another wagon was a middle-aged Canadian, shot through the mouth, appareiil.lv unable at present to swallow anything without, pain i but he begged me, if possible, to buy him some cigaielles that he might have lhe. solace of a smoke ihut there is nothing of the kind on sale within miles of this camp, and cigarettes of my own I have not yet begun tn carry ; though I always have with me the silver malchbos Ihroughlfully given me liy an Alder- shot jeweller that, I might now and then light n weary soldier on his way. The cigarette, however, was not long sought lor in vain ; and a word or Christian greeling was made none lhe less welcome by the gift. Lying by Ihis man's side was a wounded Fieiuli Canadian, who could scarcely speak in English, but. lmd come from far lo defend the Empire that claimed him also as a loyal sou; and yel another sufferer told me that he had come from Vancouver, a distance of eleven thousand miles, U. risk or if need be. Ui lay down his life for her who is his Queen as well as ours. As, itl the name of the Motherland, 1 thanked these men for thus rallying around our common flag in the hour nf peril, and tenderly urged Ihem to la* as loyal to the Christ as to their Queen, the mean- lug look and hearty handgrip spoke more eloquently to me Ihanany words.
