The Amusements of the People in That Southern City. ., There are two totally distinct seasons at Rio, "when the town presents an altogether different appearance; the summer, which lasts from October to April, and the winter, from May to September.- -In the summer, which is the autumn and winter in Europe, when the sun pours down into the narrow streetw, Rio is anything but an « agreeable place. The beat has driven away ] the rich and leisured classes, the great merchants, the diplomatic corps; in fact all of any position or fancied position hasten to the suburbs on the breezy heights overlooking the city, or to the little country towns in the neighborhood, such as Petropolis and Theresopolis, whilut ofhers take refuge on the islands of the bay. Ti .e town becomes a perfect caldron; but this does not prevent a great excitement over the Carnival, which is an institution to which the Fluminenses. or river folk, are particularly devoted. This relic of the old heathen ..

A dry eye means a hard heart. Brown eyes are the most kindly. Voltaire had the typical foxy face. A pouting upper lip indicates timidity. Black eyes are the most rash and impetuous.

Tuesday is kept in a most characteristic manner, and is distinguished not only by . richness of the costumes and the originality of the vehicles in tlie procession*?, but by -**:e absurdity of the caricatures in what may justly be termed an open-air review of the chief events of the preceding year. In the time of the empire the ministers of Dom Pedro defrayed the expenses of the Carnival, and though a'republic has now been established, the old customs are kept up, and the men of the revolution are spared no more than were their predecessors; moreover, like them, they are the iirst to laugh at the rediculous caricatures of themselves and their actions in these witty exhibitions, in which full scope is afforded to the imaginations of the .popular poets of Rio. | In the winter—the.

Pointed noses generally belong to a meddlesome people. Blue eyes belong to people of an enthusiastic turn of mind. Large eyes in a small face always betoken maliciousness. Narrow, thin nostrils indicate small lungs and low vitality. Power of language is indicated by fullness beneath the eyes. A retreating chin is always bad; it 518 and 520 First avenue, Spokane, Wash, The Kootenay Lake Saw Mill, j shows lack of resolution.

I An oblique mouth is a bad sign; it indicates a crooked character. . English-speaking people have the best foreheads and eyebrows. A steely blue eye is often the sign of a merciless disposition. Fine hair generally betokens native good taste and intelligence. Large, wide-spreading nostrils show ample lungs and good health. Short, thick, curly hair is an indication of great natural strength. Very tightly closed lips are usually found in secretive characters. Freckles, like" red hair,' are an indication of an ardent temperament.

Year after year, British Columbia s visited by forest fires, and millions of dollars worth of valuable timber cle- " stroyed. This year, the damage has been'.unusually great, towns, as well as the timber having been burned. We do not feel the loss just now, but, the time will come when all the wood that is left will find a rea.dy market. These fires are general! y started by prospectors, who are careless with •: their camp fires. In fact, many a prospector will sometimes, deliberately sot' fire, and cause to be burnt up the greater pa: t of the timber on a mountain, so that he -can travel more easily and have the ledges, if any, .uncovered. Finds sire often , made in this wav, but not'enough to compensate the country tor the loss oi' so much valuable forest. There is a .'aw against the setting out of lire, but we have never heard oi5it being* enforced. It should be, and to the fullest extent. Then probably the j fires would "stow less, although it 1 would seem almost impossible to carry ; cut a law of this kind, owing to the difficulty of procuring evidence. Our forests should be protected in j some way. Trie question is of vital [ importance to the next generat on, J and the Government should use all ] tlie means in their power to decrease, the annual conflagrations that sweeu over our fair Province, superstitution and fervor, in preference to one of cold, practical sense in which imagination and fear are not recognized. Canada, with" one or two exceptions has been free from that abominable institution, known as a COMIQUE. It is well that such is the case, and the Government should see that no license is ever granted again in this Province for such dives. Real estate speculators are endeavoring to establish one in New Denver, and lots have been • donated for that purpose, and work is expected to commence on the building immediately. If the scheme is cariied out successfully it will probably create a third faction in the town, and be the means of a few cheap structures going np in.the immediate vicinity of the joint. It will have a tendency to drive away any respectable people who might wish to settle in the town, as few men care to bring their wives and children to a town where the main object of some of the leading men is to create an institutibn that will paiider to the animal nature of men, without any regard to its effect upon their- morals, intellect and bank account. People in Spokane are in the habit of bringing letters to every train that leaves the city for this Province. No mail being made up on the train they cannot send their mail matter by the crew, as American stamps are used. By putting on Canadian stamps the difficulty could be obviated. In Nakusp .it is the custom to keep American stamps on hand and post Spokane letters on the boaf. Not; because we are averse to doing business with our own postoffice, nor have the time to catch tho mail, but,'owing to tlie regulations in this district, a saving of three or four days can be effected, by -posting letters in this way Captain Adams, of ^Montreal, was in Nakusp last week.

Large r umbers of Japs are leaving America for Japan, to assist their 1 omein the war against .China. Their dep.-i:tire will not*cause any grief and if the Chinese would follow suit, it would please us much more. They are quiet and docile, but as they live on less than it takes to keep a white mans dog, and never have there. motost. idea of becoming assimilated 'with..,this.■.country,, the fewer we have with us the bettor.: They are a loV of yellow, .human leeches ex- tracting'.-the wealth, of America, to enrich: the Flowerv. Kingdom, and in doing so hay.-l driven many a poor ■girl, from the means of making an honorable living—especially in the colden state of California. Miners, as a general rule are more intelligent and better men than those who follow less hazardous occupations. They are men of nerve, pluck and muscle, and if they were not, they could not command the wages they do —the best in Canada. With their money they are free, and some of them never go to prayer meetings. They like fun, but they want their own way. They do not like people, for the sake of booming a town and selling real estate, to build a trap, as it were for them, in which they could get rid of their money for the benefit of those who only laugh at them when they are broke. The miner is a good fellow, but he does not like to be considered a fool, and a man who patronizes a Comique to any extent is in that category. Therefore, a great many people in New Denver must think him a fool. We would advise the miners to give that class of people the cold shake: It might teach thorn sDine sense, an article they are short of at present. IfUUdL,' IVI.U.

We thought there were two suns on duty last Friday, but the illumination was caused by Jerry Nagle being in town. Since the Montreal surgeon saved his leg, Jerry is the happiest man we have seen in a decade. He has gone into the Slocan to spend a short time, and took an annual paid-up interest in this paper before he departed, Ricardo Fras«r, who has typed on nearly every journal in the Kootenay defunct and otherwise, passed on to Denver, Monday. He was accompanied by a thin, black and very sycopanorius dog. The canine had a pesticated and kicked appearance probably produced by living on Kaslo dingbats, or Nelson Tribune editorials. Dick says he is a setter, and will be fed on pi until he is in a normal condition. Ricardo took the parlor car on the Nakusp limited express for Rosebery, and when last seen he was trying with one hand to keep the dog from eating the passengers, while he waved a bandana farewell with the other, to a vision of petti- coated loveliness on the promenade deck of the Lytton. ig jtsro&er, -VANCOUVER, Bo O.

"With closed e}Tes these gentle messengers may be seen only, as-though they weir? dwellers from that imseeD world which the Swedish Mystic pronounced the only real world. Nature may be so grand when viewed with closed eyes. How magnificent are the trees through the leaves of which are shifted-beams of silver light; how superb the motionless pool which reflects so plainly every outline! It is nature's mirror and is held up before much.that is charming—the waving branch, the dainty vine., the snow-white cloud, the birds, the graceful squirrel. Then out of the wondrous recesses & palace of art arises. Habitations come quickly; to you when your eyes are closed. Men must always build- and so the magnificent structure is erected, not story by story, biit all in a moment and you are the lordly possessor. of this abode, where peace reigns and the human may approach so near to the divine heart of nature itself; where the near relationship is felt of the inanimate to the animate. There one would not crush a flower needlessly. With closed eyes the world is no longer small. It is surrounded by all space. It is filled with the fragrance of flowers more beautiful than have- ever grown; with music sweeter than has ever been played and figures more charming even than, any that are. The secrets which are whispered in your ear are the secrets of the universe; the music is the harmony of time and the tale that is told is the story of the fruition of, all things; the strange life development; forms m most fanciful aspect; soul, bright and shining, advancing in the courses prescribed in the attainment of the end. —'Detroit Free Press.

Title | Nakusp Ledge |
Publisher | Nakusp, B.C. : R.T. Lowery |
Date Issued | 1894-08-23 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
