The Socialists havo brought out William H, Davidson of Sandon as. a candidate to contest Kootenay district at tho next Dominion elec* tion. Mr. Davidson is a miner and was elected to the legislative as* sembly as a labor candidate in 1003, and served the McBride gov. eminent faithfully and well for throe sessions, and at the last election was defeated by, William Hunter, the McBride government candidate who ran as a Conservative, There are enough Socialist and Labor votes in Kootenay to win a three cornered contest. Tbe Liberal candidate is to be "Big Bill" Galllher of Kelson, who is not over popular in the district, not because he is lacking in natural ability, but because he has woefully neglected his duties for two terms. The Conservative candidate will be some nonentity like "Windy Willie" Macdonald, a Nol- son lawyer. As against such opponents Davidson who is a fairly good speaker and looks like a man, has a fighting chance.—Prine Rupert Empire.

Babylonia. " '.

The B|rs Nlnirud.'tlie. "citadel of Nlmrod," lu Babylonia, they take to be the remnant of the tower or'.of a temple that was" built on the same site. ■This, ruin seems to correspond more nearly: than any other with tbe conceived notion of the tower. * It Is of on oblong shape;' the circumference being about 7C2 yards. There is n deep furrow* at the eastern end, fhat part of the tower being not more than fifty or sixty feet' in height, while on the western' side' it rises to a height of 19S' feet lun conical shape. On Its summit is a solid pile,of brick, thirty-seven feet'In height by'twenty-eight in width and diminishing, in thickness to the top, which Ts broken ond irregular and rent by a," large Assure.. „'_ The bricks are flro burnt, most of them bearing inscriptions, dud "so firm Is (the cement'with awhich they are put together .that It Is .almost impossible to get a* brick out whole., There are great fragments of brickwork on other,- partsiof the hill where the ruins stand. They, are all tumbled together aud are converted Into vitrified masses, as if they had been'subjected to the action .of a .fierce Are.{ All this Is strange-if • not suggestive when taken in connection with the ancient tradition that the tower of Bribel was rent and overthrown by fire from heaven. £s - Makes the Biscuit . -lii •-"■-"and-Cake lighter, Ka "finer flavored; more „»„ nutritious «*wholesome ttjxiaij • '.•,-s--\CREAM.n-r BAKING POWDER - --.

A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when a man discovers ' something exceptionally good—he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This is the touch I ♦ of nature that makes the, whole world kin.

Ab a minimum for the .Atlantic octan the government should lay' down six battle snipe a year, he said. , The possibility or a conflict with Japan was discussed at length by Mr Hobeon He said it whs but perfectly natural for Japan to aspire to dominate the commerce of China, the commerce of Asia and of the Pacific ^ocean And, he added; it was perfectly natural for Japan to seek to control the policies of China and-to attain supremacy in the Pacific ocean, and to lead the yellow race.toward a recognized supremacy in the world., With regard to the great nations of the white race, Mri Hobson said: "Jt is, of course, clear to the Japanese stales- men that America is the one great nation kandiug.athwart of the realization of these ambitions. It is true that America onlv asks a fair chance and no.favors- siiuplv the open-door policy in China— but this policy'goes couuter to Japanese ambitions." , . ..Mr.'Hobeon charged,that Japanese spies, lmve beei. diligent and. active throughout the Philippines, in our out- .vine possession, throughout all parts of America, in our forts, arsenals, ihip- vards, and particularly.up and dm.'., the coast,along-the Pacific, in notiiiff t.i.ft .demerits of America's - defeusejnid mapping*, and efiarting^narborB. ana approaches from the rear to our coastwise forts audio our.cities^. ,,...,.

Mlss"Buffln, '05, and Miss,Eaton, her colleague, an undergraduate, say they aren't sure how the experiment was-started, but it is going along swimmingly. "The menu of the old lunch - counter\ consisted," says Miss Buffln, "of soup, which waa thin and watery and I not very warm, pastry and pink, brown and white ice . cream. \ The fickle, whimsical appetite of girls who spend most of their time indoors is not easy to please. ■ -Their, tastes seem-to run to spiced meats and chopped meats' rather than to plain, good solid roast-beef or mutton.' Rather than milk they drink coffee. In spite of these difficulties, however, the two new managers have succeeded in materially changing the old menu and making it attractive.- What is served Is possibly plainer, but it is more substantial and certainly more digestible.", THE CANADIAN BANK OF?
