PROSPEROUS CANADA
The Nelson Oraad Jary it Complaining
of Fernie Justice.
Cranbrook Herald-
Re Gaol—We vidted the gaol and
found tbirty-two prisoner*, about half of
whom came from Fernie, in Bast Kootenay, and although we were unable in
tbe time at our disposal, and tbe distance
of Fernie from Nelson, to gather exact
facts, we are of tbe opinion tbat a condition of thing* exists in the local just ic-
lary in Fernie, to warrant an inveatiga-
tion by the attorney general'a department without delay.
The foregoing I* ■ clause which ap
pear* in tbe presentment of tbe grand
jury at the Nelson assizes, which was
made on Thursday afternoon. Just
wbat it mean* is left largely to Ibe imagination of tbe reader, a* everything in
tbe way of details ia lacking, but upon
it* face it would appear tbat tbe manner
in which "justice" haa been administer,
ed in Fernie ha* been so unsatisfactory
at least to the members of tbe grand
jury is a matter wbicb can only be determined by a duly constituted commission of enquiry, but now that the matter
has been thus passed upon by the Grand
jury, it becomes the obvious duty of tbe
attorney general, in justice to tbe men
whose reputations are clouded by lhe insinuations contained in the above paragraph, to see tbat tbe commission for
tbe enquiry issues without delay.
If, as it bas been intimated in Nelson,
some money judiciously placed, is a
more potent factor in determining cases
in Fernie than any otber, the sooner tbe
fact is proven and the guilty punished,
the better. But It must not be assumed,
without trial, that the local justiciary is
blameworthy. The stories of monetary
influence may be wholly without foundation, and even the aeemingly inconsistent sentences, whicb it is said caused
the members of tbe Nelson grand jury
sucb concern, may be capable of satisfactory explanation wben all of the cir*
cumstances surrounding them are properly understood.
Tbe above is from tbe last issue of the
Feroie Free Press. It is news to this
part of Ihe district and The Herald is at
a loss to understand Ihe meaning of tbe
declaration made by the grand jury at
Nelaon. uYet, in thi* case, aa in the
matter of tbe license commissioners, we
believe the best way and tbe fairest way
is to bold an early enquiry. It ia not
right to leave any officer's reputation
under a cloud, and a rigid inveat jgatiou
places every innocent man right before
the public. Tbe Herald coincides with
tbe Free Press on this point. Right is
right at all times, and on all occasions.
British Coloabia Budget
Brltiah Columbia will atart the next
financial year with a net deficiency of
•104,000. The cauae of thia la that tke
revenue for the current year ia leaa by
•3*18,000 than that of the previoua year.
With the wldeat area of any province
of the Dominion, the new revenue from
lands for the next year I* estimated at
only 940,000, though an equal amount of
collections from previous sales Is
expected to be made. Timber licenses
and royalties are expected to yield only
•80,000, which is •S.OOO less than last
year; timber leases, however, are
down forjlio.000, of which one-half
is for arrears. Mining receipts are put
down at 15,060, and the regrettable
feature is that, ln thi?, tbe province of
mines, that sun represents a decline of
•35,000 on last year. Besides the tax
oa mines there Is a mineral tax, measured by tbe product, which will produce tbis current year, (85,000. This Is
exclusive of coal, oa which there Is a
royalty, and which is expected to yield
1130,000, owing largely to the development of tbe Crow's Nest Mine, from
which the Minister expects 873,000, at
Its present rate of production. Real
property is expected to yield •130,000
aod personal property 880,000; the fact
tbat of this latter some three-foartbs Is
for arrears, shows serious delay. The
wild land tax Is •50,000. to which f75,-
000 of arrears have to be added. This
is nothing unusual; where tbe land
yields nothing, tbe taxes must be paid
out of some otber source. Tbe Income
tax, |40,000, shows an estimated Increase of »5,ooo. From fisheries only
•35,000 Is expected. Tke province expects to receive 815,000 as Ita proportion of the licenses. It will be noticed
that several of these Items are different from those found ln otber provinces.
The expenditure Is going back, and yet
there Is tbe deficiency above named.
In 19oo tke ezpendltar* reached 8233,*
000; laat year It was only •172,577.
Tbe public debt Is 8e,407,7.->7. Tbe province has A5,ooo,ooo acres of land, of
which only about one-tenth has been
alienated. Tbe province has presented
Ottawa a case for better terms; tbere
has been one conference on the subject
and Sir Wilfrid Hurler has promised
another. The Minister of finance puts
down the nominal aasets of tbe province
at »14,442,0O0, but ln this be Includes
public buildings aod schoo.s, which, aa
tbey cannot be realized, are not properly assets; only something the pro-
vlnce can do without, could sell without being Inconvenienced, is properly a
provincial asset. But as tbey are only
pnt down aa nominal assets that may ba
allowable.

The   Dominion   in   Better
Shape than Ever.
BRITISH COLUMBIA'S TURN WILL COME
English  and  Americas  Papers Speak
of Canada'*  Great
Progress,
We bave often said ln tbese pages
that tbe eyes of the monled world are
looking wltb favor 00 British Columbia
and Indeed on the whole of the Dominion. Tbese facta are most emphatically
born out by tbe newspapers of both
England and the United States.
Tbe London, England, Dally Mail says
iu tbe course of a long editorial..
''We bave seen the American boom bnt
now we bave a Canadian boom of such
magnitude that lt ia bard to aay where
It will end."
While, perhaps, British Columbia
may be said to be laboring under a
temporary depression, it Is very satisfactory to note the great, we might say
the unprecedented prosperity, enjoyed
by the rest of Canada, and although the
English papers call It a boom, with all
due defence to them, we say lt la not
bnt that lt Is the outcome of the
country's natural resources. The
customs returns for the month of April
1603 showed an Increase of 8513.731 00
over April 1901.
The New York Journal commenting
on the Influx of Americans Into the
Canadian north-west prints signed
letters from former citizens of tbe
Northwestern States, wbo declare tbat
they are entirely satisfied. The laws
are just, tbe taxation Is light, and
churches and schools are being rapidly
built, Many Americans, Indeed, wbo
bave taken farms are growing rich,
ani even firm-laborers And steady
employment at good wages. Moreover,
ln Western Canada there la hardly a
trace of tbat narrow provincialism even
yet to be fonud occasionally tn Eastern
Canada, which fondly cherishes the
old hatreds engendered by the war of
the Revolution. The people feel little
Interest ln old shibboleths, and there Is
absolutely ne prejudice against Americana or American Ideas. On tbe contrary, all of whatever nationality, are
welcomed on condition tbat they will
take a band In tbe Industrial development of the country. Apparently the
sleeping Empire beyond la awaking to
a realization of Ita great possibilities."
Prosperity brings prosperity and we
bave said as the greater part of tbe
Dominion Is coming to the front among
tbe nations, with leaps and bonnds.
British Columbia will not be left behind
long, and therefore Eaat Kootenav, a
country with so many and varied resources as abe bas witbln her bounds Is
sure to make a good country and 1 prosperous country,
If tbere Is a depression iu the
province jnst now it la not without
causes. Tbe low price of lead has been
blamed for a good deal of it but lt Is
not only this. A stable government Is
a thing tbat British Columbia has been
without for a long time and capital la
alwaya "shy" of a country who's government Is not stable.
Of course this last can and will be reminded and lt rests with the people of
British Colombia to remedy it. All
countries bave their ups and downs aud
British Columbia is no exception bat
tbe time Is coming and coming quickly
when our province will be able to hold
up ber head among the confederated
provinces and say she Is as well govern'
ed as any of tbem.    Ob let it be soon.

"Certainly. But repairing it is another

"Yes. John bad no business tu let it

■if yiui will dismount," I said, "1 might
make nn investigation."
^     1 held out my iirtn to assist her, but her
WL mother protested.
•^     "Is  it   uecessury?    The  roads  are  so
^---dnuddy."
%1*W "No, not necessary Cor both." I added,
already holding the arm of ber daughter.
She stood by my sitle nnd watched me
open the box, giving advice -.ml directions
about the location of the tools, which 1
appreciated.
"The electricity bus not given out," I
nnnounced later, "but there is something
wrong with tho battery. There's power
enough In It to curry you fifty miles or
kill tt dozen men."
"Mercy, Stella, is there any danger?"
queried the woman in tlte automobile.
"No, innnniKi."
"Not any, inaibim." I added reassuringly,   "However, I must get at the board
under your feet.    If you will kindly hold
them up a moment"*-
"Walt!   I will get out with Stella!"
"Not at all necessary."
But sho climbed down In a hurry, nnd
I proceeded to lift the board,    lt wns a
common enough battery and motor, but a
little kinky in its actions at times.    Being somewhat <'f an electrician, I promised to repair the injury in » short time.
"It's fortunate we met yon," said Stella laughingly, "or we might have had to
walk back to town."
"Yes, ii is very fortunate Cor me," I
replied, without looking up, but through
tho machinery I could sec looks of disapproval on the mother's face. That provoked me to work in silence for some
minutes. Then, jumping into the automobile, I said:
-Now I think the thing will go. Which
.ever do you use'.'"
"Tbis one."
She sprang lightly into the vehicle and
touched tin* handle, giving it a suddi u
twist. Then the machinery did go, There

Btrnlght .it the mother, wbo stood directly
back nt us.    The vehicle darted forward
like a race horse.
"Shut off the power!" I said quickly.
Stella  looked  nt me with a  pcculinr
smile and Bald;
"I can't."
"Why not? Let me try!"
I took the lever from her hand and
turned it clear around, but lucre was mi
diminution in the spend of the automobile. If nny thing, it seemed io gn hip
faster. We were now a hundred yanls
from our Blurting point. I turned to Millie mother running nfter us, shouting:
"Stop, thief! Stop, stop! I'll have you
arrested!"
But I was helpless. We were runn'ng
too fast to jump. It wns sure death to
attempt it. Su I tried to collect myself
and s-ntil:
"This is serious.    We must  keep our
bonds."
"Yes, very serious.   But I'm not afraid
— lint   yet."
"Xnr am I, out here in the country.
It's like a cross country ride."
"Yes; but wo can't loll whore It will
end."
We were making twenty miles nn hour
tin n, unless my calculations were wrong,
au<t I had i-.illiruli.i- in holding the machine straight in its course.
"I've been in runaways before," I gasped as the wind nearly blew my breuth
away, "but never iu an automobile."
"Xor bave I," she nnswered. grasping
her loosened hair, which streamed behind
her. "But I've always wauled to be in
one."
"Then you'll bave all you want before
we get through with this. 1 think we nre
inert ositlg our speed."
We passed n team, which shied at our
vehicle and nearly upset the carriage in
the gutter.
"We must be creating n sensation," I
suggested grimly, trying again to shut off
tbe power.
"Shouldn't wonder," she replied. Then
eagerly, "But lt*s fun."
"Yes, lots of fun." I assented not wishing to be beaten by a girl.
"I'm glad you're nol nfraid," Bbe add*
ed, "fur if you were 1 think I might be."
"Oh, I'm uot u bit afraid," 1 replied,
living to keep a tremor from I poll Ing my
voice, "So long as we keep the thing

"We bumped over n cat thnt tried to

"An- you going through the village?"
she naked a moment later.
"I wouldn't if 1 could help it. I M:.c
the country much better. But there are
no forks in the road and at this speed I'm
afraid I could not turn around gracefully
on this narrow rood."
She laughed—softly ond musically.
"I should think uot. We might be
■pilled out."
"Yesi spilled our," l shivered.
"H hats tlie matter? Arc you afraid
now?"
"Not a bit," as I narrowly escaped
knocking 0 man over, who shook his cane

"1 suppose mamma will he worried
aboui us."
"Yes, about you," I answered with difficulty. "But not about me. I think sin*
wonld like tu see me killed and mangled,"
"She thought you were trying to steal
the automobile—or me. Now she must
be sure of it."
"I wouldn't steal this old—this machine for anything," 1 gasped. "But
you"—
"Well, wbat were you going to say'l"
demurely.
"You are quite another story, as somebody has said."
"Kip ing. you mean."
"No; I mean you."
"Oh. 1 sic. I meant the story, or tbe
tmc v. ho said that"—
•'Here we come to tbe village," I interrupted desperately. "Are you afraid
now?"
"No, not unless you are."
"Me nfraid? Never! 1 don't kuow
what fear is!"
"Neither do I—at least not wben—I'm
with you."
"That's kind of you. But I wish that
old bay co ft would get out of our way
and that hoarse in front. Say, can't you
toot the horn?"
"Can IV   .lust listen!"
"That's it. Make them think Bnrnum's
circus is coming, and they'll give us the
ri^'lit of way. Now, again, for there's a
whole menagerie of people and horses iu
rrunl."
It was the main street of the village,
and we were dodging ami dashing
tlirough it at a pace that frightened everybody aud upset everything thnt got in
our wny.
"See that fool ahead trying to stop us!
lie's the town officer!"
"Well, he's a brave man if be can slop
us."
"Do you wish he would?"
"Yes. No. of course not!" I stnm-
nierril. "This is too much fun—with you
-to wish anybody to stop us."
"There he goes now, shaking his stick
at us! I'll toot the born in bis face.
Isn't he mad now?"
"I suppose so," I replied, "but I can't
rook behind. This thing requires all uf
my attention."
"You look tired. \Yhy( you're perspiring! Are you getting a little afraid now?
.lust a little bit?"
"Well, now, 1 may. No, no; of course
not—not a single bit. It's jolly. It's a
regular lark. And there's the country
ahead!"
"Another cross country ride! How
many miles did you say tbe electricity
would carry US?"
"Fifty!" I groaned.
"How lovely!"
"Yes.    Lovely!"
Outside of the village the road forked.
One went down into the lowlands where
tlie roads were good; tbe other climbed
a steep hill. 1 saw my hope, and toward
lhe bill  I steered.
"Why, the roads are better tbe other
way," she said.
"I thought Ihey were smoother up
here," I lied.
"Nu; this road leads up the side of the
mountain, and we can never get to the
top without stopping.    I'm sure of it."
"I thought tho other one led up tho
mou n tain.   I low provoking!"
"Yes; very provoking! It will spoil
our ride!"
There was disappointment on the pretty face, but when we climbed the hill and
our vehicle panted and snorted under the
exertion my courage and spirits returned;
"Well, it can't be helped uuw. We've
bad a splendid ride together. I shall nlways remember it."
"Yes; splendid! 1 hope mamma won't
worry."
"She won't, I'm sure. But I think I'll
leave you in tbe village and not see her
today,"
Worn out with its exertions, the vohh-le
came tu a sudden standstill near tbe summit. Stella dismounted, nnd 1 quietly disconnected the machinery*
"It's broken for good now," I said, examining it. "We will have to get a team
to dl'Og it back to the village."
"How mean! I thought we should have
a gootl run down the bill. You wouldn't
be afraid, would you?"
"Certainly   not,"   I   faltered,   looking
down tlie sleep road.   "But it's out of tbe
questlou now."
"Thou we'll have to walk it."
"Ye.s,   but  together,  nnd  that will  be
fun."
"Not half as much ns if wo were riding.
Thnt was such a lark! It wns the bust
cross country riile I ever had."
"Yes; the best I ever bad."
Of course 1 escaped the irate mother's
wrath, but 1 bad to make a ten mile detour to avoid it, ami when I fuund my
wheel I was thankful enough to get home

Tluy were having an informal gathering at tke Builiugton-Browjis. Mrs. Buf-

bad to be an Informal affair because Jack

well she might be. -lack was in the army

It was "I'lease tell ns ahum that light

The disiance wasn't far, and Edgar wa!

M.iud Bufiington-Brown bnd an idea thai
Edgar would be pleased at the trust reposed in him.    Everybody liked Edgar,
May Freeman looked up at bim as he
carefully adjusted her cape. Perhaps she
menially contrasted him with the glori

Edgar was of medium height, of fair
complexion, with a rather firm chin and
bright gray eyes. lie was nol of (he
stalwart build that marked ihe war hero,
and yet be looked well knit despite bis
slcuderncss. •
As tbey moved away from the bouse
May turned tu him and said:
"Would you mind, Mr. French, if we
prolong our wnlk a little? The oigbt is
so pleasant and the air so bracing. I'm
choked up with all thr t battle smoke, and
lhe clear atmosphere is such a relief."
"I am delighted," said Edgar, nnd \\
gave him quite a thrill to feel thnt be
could grant her even so small a favor.
"We will walk around two extra blocks,
if you please." snid May, "and by that
litre I think 1*11 get the rattle of the

would have been dreadfully jealous or

"No doubt we were fur the moment,"
langhdl Edgar in return, "but possibly
we were consoled by the thought Unit it
i; quite Impossible for nil of us to go to
war. Some of us, ns Ibe philosophical
young gaafitter in 'Caste' remarks, must
stay home and pay rales and taxes."
But May did not laugh at this.
"I suppose." she said, "that it is an (n-
herltrd tradition that makes women love
physical courage. Probably it conies
dowii t;i tbem from Ihe time when man
foeg'bt for them and the stronger or

"I. I it set i:.s In me (hat any man wbo Is

niche, no mailer how small. Is doing so-
rlety as well as himself an injustice when
he needlessly or recklessly exposes him

May was silent  for a moment.
"1 think you must be brave, or you
wouldn't bave the courage to advance
such n belief," she said. "It's a part of
the spirit of commercialism, isn't it?"
Edgar winced.
"1 suppose it is," he snid.
"And you mean to say." Bhe went on
without heeding bis murmured assent,
"that if you were attacked, say, by higb
wnynieti. you would offer no resistance?"
"Well," snid Edgar slowly, "it would
be a question with me whether a , inl.et
or two nnd a few dollars would be a fair
equivalent for the grievous risk I Would

"And you would bold up your binds

musical edge to her usual pleasant lories.

walked steadily forward. May was si

sensitive spirit. Sbe did not notice th«
men.
As they approached tho trio Edgar saw
tbnt he and May must pass between the
pair and the single man. If anything was
to happen, he would precipitate it.
He walked directly nt tbe pair.
"Hold un there!" said a gruff voice, and
one of the men drew something from his
pocket that glistened as he raised It.
Edgar swung May back.
"What's that?" he said.
"Throw up your hands," growled the
gruff man, oud tbe barrel of a revolver
was thrust against Edgar's breast. "Go
through him, Jim.   Hustle,"
The second man pulled open the victim's cont. Edgar's bauds, held in front

house.
"Hold the girl, Joe," said the man with
the revolver.
The third man intercepted May la her
flight.
"Edgar!" she cried.
Tbe eye of the man with the revolver
wavered. At tbe same instant Edgar
struck up tbe weapon with his left arm
and thrust his right elbow witb all tbe
force be could command into the second
man's face. There was a sharp report,
and Edgar felt something like the sear of
a hot iron across his temple. The lingers
of his left band caught the ruilian's
wrist, and witb bis right hand he struck
him n crushing blow in tbe face. The
second mnn, dazed for a rnomeut, sprang
forward oud tried to grapple with Edgar
from behind, but the lotter, fighting desperately for possession of tbe revolver,
bad whirled his man half round, nnd for
n second or two it was impossible to
grasp him. *
"Joe!" gasped the first rullian. The
man who had been guarding Mny and
wbo bad paused irresolutely wben the revolver report rang out sprang forward
with a short billy in his hand. At the
same moment a second report was heard,
and the first ruffian dropped to bis knees,
choked, gasped nml pitched forward. The
second mnn stood aghast, but tbo third
man, with nn oath, sprang nt Edgar.
The latter stepped buck and met tbe
rush with a revolver shot. The fellow's
arm dropped to his side, nnd he roared
witb pain. At this the second mnn turned into the street and rnn swiftly down
the roadway. The third man followed
him, but much more slowly.
It had all happened so quickly—the halt,
tbe struggle, the discomfiture of tbe highwaymen—that the impulse to scream had
not come to Mny. She had stood on the
lower step ond watched the light with
suspended breath and parted lips. Now
she ran forward.
"Ob, Edgar," she cried, "are you
hurt?"
He wos panting n little and for a moment could not nnswer.
"I guess not," he laughed. He put his
hand to his bleeding head. "Seems to tie

"Give me your handkerchief, Edgar."
She tenderly bound up his wound. Her

she kissed bim ami quickly drew back.
"You nre splendid!" sbe murmured.
"Pooh, pooh," he smilingly protested.
"I'm ronlly a cownrd nt heart. It was
your call for help that mnde me forget
myself.   Ah, here nre the police."
Two men in uniform came around the
nearest corner nnd hurried toward them.
Edgar stepped forward. One of the officers knew bim and called him by name,
and the story of the affray wns soon told.
The head of the prostrate ruffian was
raised and Edgar's friend nt once recognized bim as a notorious criminal.
"Tbe fellow's hit hard," the officer
said. "Simpson, call nn nmbulunce nnd

'em?"
"Yes," replied Edgar, "I'll cheerfully
admit it. But this fellow really Bbot

"Where's your weapon?"
"I haveu't any."
The officer looked up.
"Well," he snid witb much emphasis,
"you're n plucky one!"
At this May gave Edgar's arm an eloquent squeeze.
"That's nil right, officer," Edgar laughingly said. "You know me aud kuuw

May held very tight to Edgar's arm as
tbey moved away.

In gwlne out of a Sunday nnd popplii'

of eoonsklns. This hnd been gwlne on
a long, long time when Elder Davis
called at my cabin one Saturday to
say thnt he was gwine to preach nt

elder wns n powerful good man and I
liked him, but 1 couldn't give up my
Sunday huntln' to hear him preach.

and thnt 1 wasn't doln' the right thing
to slosh nround with a gun on my

that the old woman turned to me and
said:
" 'Zeb, yo'll put on a clef i shirt In

" 'I'd like to mighty well,' snys I,
'but I've located seven coons ln a big

" 'Is yo'r soul wuth more than seven

" 'Reckon 'tis, but what's my soul

"I sorter thought I'd go, and I sorter
thought I wouldn't, nnd I was at n
standstill till the old woman got her
bonnet on. Then I suddenly made up
my mind to go arter the coons and let
her go to the prench|n' alone. She
looks nt me fur n minit or two with

The b'ar growled and sniffed, but finally got ddwn uud cleared out, am! then
1 fainted nway. I cum to jest as th«

MISAPPLIED WORDS.
Same Expression*, the tne of Which
Should Be Reformed.
"Extra" Is an abused word. People
say "extra good" or "extra cheap" lu
order to Intensify "good" and "cheap."
But "extra" has no such force. So far
from Intensifying a given condition, It
denies it by indicnting that the thing
bo described lies outside the sphere or
quality named. Thus, "extra judicial"
does not mean more than ordinarily judicial, as though a judge had dredged
bis conscience In giving an opinion, but
outside of Judicial and therefore Incapable of being judged at all ln the prescribed way.
A grievous fault Is the use of "Identify" in a phrase like Ibis, "He Is Identified with the antivacelnatlon movement." A man can only. Identify blm- ij
self with another man or set of men.
Ho can Identify himself with the opponents of vaccination—and even here
the word carries a shade of meaning of
Its own, distinguishing the phrase from
such n one as "lie Joined the opponents
of vaccination."
One should not spenk of "high" or
"low" caliber; but, remembering the
meaning of "caliber," one should npply
to It only such adjectives as "great" or
"small."
It Is wrong to speak of a "consensus
of oplnlou." The word "consensus" Itself means an agreement of thought
and should stand nloiie.-Academy.

"Colds that will never be cured." A startling sentence, but you know it tn be true. Scarcely a day

. neglected cold tlmt leads to death—the cold that ruis on an on—the cold thai Is added to by fresh coids
from time to time.
But what treatment is to Ijo chosen from tho grent number of remedies thai nro recommended'.' You con
uso common sense in buying medicine, Just, ns you can In the purchase of a piano, a bicycle or a sowing ma-
chiUU. Find out what treatment bus the best record in the past, apply the test of time and get the opinion
of people .who know from experience.
If you apply this test to medicines for; coughs, colds and .similar ailments, you will select Dr. Chase's
Syrup of Linseed and 'J'urpentine,,because of the extraordinary merits which it possesses, and which have become known to tho public generally through years of trial. The sales of this remedy aro far In excess of any
similar preparation, ond have never been so large as during the present season. These two facts arc, we believe tlie strongest evidence that can bo produced in verifying the merits of any remedy that has been thoroughly tested for years.
Ur. Chase's Syrup ol Linseed nnd Turpentine is prized especially necnuso of its far-reaching effects, even in
the most serious cases of bronchitis, whooping cough, croup nnd osthma. It is not a mero relief for coughs,
but nets on the whole system thoroughly curing the cold nnd removing ehust pains, soreness of the lungs

There Are Two Kind, of Ma.tnrd.
There are two varieties of mustard
—black and white. Black mustard Is
the most valuable for commercial purposes. Its seeds are very minute,
weighing not more thnn one-fiftieth of
n grain each. Its pungent taste Is
caused by an essential oil. This oil
can, like fruit flavors, be exactly Imitated by the chemists. Both as a table
condiment and as a medicine mustard
has been known from a very remote
period.
As now found ln our grocery stores
this spice consists of white and black
mustard seeds, mixed and ground fine.
Tbe white mustard keeps better than
the black variety and Is not so bitter.
A good deal of the mustard sold is
adulterated, sometimes with wheat
flour, but more often with tumeric, the
pulverized root of a common East Indian plant

Liniments and Other Old Fashioned
Remedies    Will    Not     Cure—The
Rheumatic   Taint   Must   Be   He-
1       moved From the Blood.
j Tlie• lingering tortures of i-heumn-
tistn nre too well known to need description, but it is not so well known
that medical science now recognizes
that the primary cause of rheumatism is impure or impoverished bicod.
Tlie result is that hundreds of suller-
ers apply external remedies which
cannot possibly cure the trouble. The
only thing that will really cure iheu-
mutism is an internal medicine that
will enrich the blood and free it from
rheumatic taint. The surest, i|uick-
cst and most effective way to do this
is to take Dr. Williams''I'ink J.'JjIs,
which nre proved to have cured thousands  of cases  of rheumatism, muny
[of tbem nfter all oilier medicines had
failed.   The case of Mr.  Philip   For-
,ris, one of the pioneers of South Essex, Ont., is proof of tbis. Although
Mr.  Ferris  is 7(> years of ago   ho is
las smart ns many men of HO. But he
[has nut nlways enjoyed such 'good
heaJ.Hi Mr. Ferris 1ms the following to sny about bis illness nnd cure:
"For fifteen years 1 suffered greatly
from rheumatism. At times 1 would
havo severe pains 111 the knees, while
at others tlio pain would spread to
my hips nnd shoulders. I tried several remedies wbicb were of no a" nil
unj.il I began using Dr. Williams'
Fink Pills. I took eight or ten boxes
nnd thoy cpjnplotely cured the
trouble und I am now as smart as
many men much younger. I have a
great deal of faith in the pills for I
know pf other cases where they have
been equally as successful as in
mine."
Dr. Williams' Fink Pills make new,
rich, red blood and strengthen the
nerves With every dose. It is In tbis
way thut they cure such troubles as
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, kidney nnd liver troubles, partial paralysis, St Vitus' dance and erysipelas.

RESTLESS LITTLE ONES.
Peevishness and Sleeplessness a Sure
Sign That Baby is Unwell.
When babies are restless, cross, or
peevish it is the surest possible sign
of illness. Well babies sleep soundly
aad nre cheerful and playful when
awake. Wben baby is cross too
many mothers give so-called "soothing" medicines, which contain opiates that deaden but do not remove
the trouble. What is Wanted is a
medicine thnt will go right to the
root of the trouble and make baby
sleep well, eat well and be cheerful
in a natural wny. Such a medicine
is Baby's Own Tablets* which are
sold under un absolute guarantee
that they contain neither opiates nor
otber harmful drugs. All mothers
wbo have used them for thoir little
ones speak of them in terms of wannest praise. Mrs. Albert Young,
Stratfordt snys : "My baby, who is
now five months old, bus always
been very cross and peevish. She was
very constipated and sleepless. She
was a thin, delicate looking child,
and cried nearly all tbo time. I did
not know whnt to do with her. I
tried several medicines, but they did
her no good, A friend who bad used
Baby's Own Tablets advised mo to
try them. I hid so, und since using
th'-m baby has been quite well, her
bowels are regular, and she has
grown plump and good uutured. 1
am delighted with tbo Tablets and
keep them on bund all the time, nnd
whenever baby gets cross nnd feverish I Rive ber a tablet and she is all
right."
Those Tablets are tbe best medicine iu thu world for simple fevers,
colic,diarrhoea, all stomach troubles,
constipation nnd other minor ailments of little ones. They nro for
children of nil nges, and dissolved in
water, or crushed to a powder may
be given with absolute snfety to the
youngest infnnt. Mothers who once
try tbem will never aftcrwnrds use
any other medicine for their little
ones. Sold by all dealers in medicine or sent post paid at 25 cents a

Somo new authors arrive with luch

lo hear nbout them. One hns Just sent
to n well known London publisher a
loiter something like this:
"I nm told that It to usual on the eve
of the nppenrnnce of n book to entertain all tho London reviewers to n dinner. AVII1 you kindly tell me what this
would cost, where the dinner should be
beld nnd who, In your opinion, should
be Invited? Of course the thing ought
to be done handsomely!"

Commodore P. Vedder, while a young
man, teaching school, had occasion to
punish a mischievous girl, nud, as was
usual In lhat day aud locality, wns
about to resort to the ferule. To the
offending mnld he said, "Miss —,
give tne your hand." She dropped her
head nnd blushed. Again he said
sternly, "Miss —, I say, give me your
hand."
Slowly lifting her eyes, she remarked: "Mr. Vedder, this Is embarrassing
for mo. Vou should not make such
proposals In public. However, you
must ask my papa lirst."

Swnllovrlna; Salt Water.
Ono of the most beneficial features of
a sea bath Is the salt water Inadvertently swallowed by bathers. It Is a
wonderful tonic for (he liver, stomach
and kidneys. In mnny enses lt will
curo biliousness wben all drug preparations have failed. It Is peculiarly effective In ordinary cases of indigestion,
disordered stomach and Insomnia and
bns been known to produce excellent
results In mnny eases of dyspepsia.
Clean sen water Is full of tonic and
sedative properties. It won't hurt nny-
body. Indeed two or three big swallows of It would be of positive benefit
to nine bathers out of ten. It is not,
of course, n palatable or tempting doso
to take, but neither is quinine or calomel. You seldom If ever see an old
Bailor who is bilious or dyspeptic or a
victim to Insomnia, and why? For the
reason that nn ocean of good medicine
spreads all about his sky, and bo doses
himself copiously with lt whenever his
physical mechanism becomes tbo least
bit deranged.

CAUSTIC GERSTER.
Comment tka Blna-er Made on a Kin
Tba< Patti Rei-cired.
While the rivalry between Pnttl and
Gerster in San Francisco In 1S34 was
at its height It was mnde known that
General Crittenden, governor of Missouri, had given Patti a kiss. Thereupon Mme. Patti wns Interviewed,
when she spoke as follows:
"I had just finished singing 'Borne,
Sweet Home,' last Thursday evening
when a nice looking old gentleman,
who Introduced himself as Governor
Crittenden, begnn congratulating inc.
All of a sudden be leaned down, put
his nrms around me, drew tne up *t>
him nnd kissed me. He said. 'Mme.
Pnttl, I may never see you again, but
I cannot help it,' nnd before 1 knew It
he was kissing me. When a gentleman, nnd such a nice old gentleman,
too, and a governor of a great stale,
kisses one so quick that oue has not
time to see nnd uo time to object, wbat
can one do?"
The following dialogue on the subject between Mme. Gerster nnd a reporter who had Interviewed ber was
afterward published:
Modest Reporter—I suppose, Mme.
Gerstor, you have beard about that
kissing affair between Governor Crittenden and Patti?
Mme. Gerster—I have heard that
Governor Crittenden I 'ssed Pnttl before sho had timo to re-ist, but I don't
seo anything ln that to create so mueh
fuss.
Modest Reporter (Interrogatively)—
You don't?
Mme. Gerster—Certainly not There
is nothing wrong in a man kissing a
woman old enough to bo his mother.

"Commence" op "DeBlrt."
Commence or begin? The best writers, and the best speakers, also, prefer
"begin" to "commence" for nil everyday purposes. The reason for this preference Is not as sonic hnvo said, that
"begin" Is older, for "commence" Is of
very respectable antiquity; nor Is It,
ns others hnve said, tbnt "begin" is of
Anglo-Saxon origin, for words of
French or of Latin origin that have
beeu fully adopted Into our lauguage
nro Just as good English ob native
words. It Is rather thnt "begin" bns

Oft.Mi Found Himself Unable to Lie
Down Without the Greatest Pain
—Cured by Dodd's Kidney i'ills.
Aniprior, Ont., Feb. 8.—(Special)-
A very mnarknble cure ot Backache
and Kidney Trouble has Just been
brought to notice at Basin Depot,
near here.
Wr. J. JI. Martin suffered for oVer
eighteen years with Lome Hack .so
that he actually couldn't walk or
lie down without, enduring tho most
dreadful pain. Ifu tried many meOi-
cines without getting relief, and was
very much discouraged.
Dodd's Kidney Pills wero recommended lo him and he commenced n
treatment. and improved \ Dry I. si
from tho first. As the treatment
continued the improvement Increased
until he was able lo go about liis
work as well as over.
The theory so often advanced thai
tho kidneys are tho most important
organs of tho body and that n large
percentage of the sickness and pain
which humanity suffers, Is duo fo
imperfect Kidney act Ion seems Lo be
amply proven in this particular rase,
for ns booh as Dodd's Kidney Pills
regulated and restored tho natural
action of tho kidneys all Mr. Martin's  troubles left  him  at   once.
Many romarkablo cures by Dodd's
Kidney Pills have been published,
but certainly none ns wonderful as
that of MT. Martin.
lie has written a long letter Riving the farts of his case, and his tin-
tu ai (ement. thnt lie was al It) to
work <omfortably once nr-ru after
such a prolonged period of suffering,
has started people wondering if there
is any cuse of Lame Back. Rheumatism or other Kidney Trouble that
Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure.
An  ignorant    man  is a    merciless
critic.
It's a waste of time to repeat hair-
raising stories to a bald-headed man.
COLIC AND KIDNEY DIFFICULTY-iVr.
J.W. Wilder, J. r..I*afureviiio, N. X.. writes*
"I nm snbjtiti . to severe ntt;;clfaof Colic and
Kidhoy i.)ilik'.ii!ly,n..d Jlud I'urmoloo's Pills nf-
ford me preufc ruhef, wliito «!1 other remedies
have failed. They aro the best medicine 1 have
ever used." In fact so great is the powurof

of almost * .pry n*imo uud uaturo aro driven
from tho body.
fAR AND FEATHERS.
Dow It Feci*, (a tVtnr a Coal of Thin
Fearful   Mixture-.
People who roncl of tarring nutl fratli-
erlug know tbnt tho punishment Im a
very unpleasant one, but few Imagine
how terribly painful mid dangerous It
Is. In Wyoming I onco saw a mnn who
had boen tarred nnd feathered, and. nl-
tbougli ho fully deserved the discipline,
I could not help pitying him. Hardened tar Is very hurd to remove from
the skin, nnd when feathers are added
It forms n kind of cement that sticks
closer thnn a brother. As soon ns the
lar sets the victim's suffering begins.
It contracts ns it cools, and every one
of the little veins en the body Is pulled,
causing lhe most exquisite agon;. The
perspiration Is entirely stopped, nnd
unless the tnr Is removed death Is certain to ensue.
But tho removal Is no easy (ask nud
requires several days. The tar cannot
bo softened by the npplicntlon of bent
nnd must be peeled off bit by bit,
sweet oil being used to make the process less painful. Tbe Irritation to Ihe
skin Is very grent, ns the hairs ennnot
be disengaged, but must bo pulled out
or cut off. No man can lie cleaned of
tar lu n single day, ns the pain of the
operation would be too excruciating
for endurance, and until litis Is done lie
lias to Stiller from a pain like thai of
ten thousand pin pricks. Numbers of
men have died under (he torture, and
none who hnve gone through It regard
tar nnd feathering ns anything but u
most fearful Infliction.—Exchange.

The most Important employment of
