Slocan was deserted Victoria day, everybody that could getaway doing so. The weather was hot, which helped out lhe exodus. Some went on a picnic to Lemon creek, some down the river, some to Koseberv, some ta New Denver, and some to Kaslo, but the vast- majority hied them to Silverton. There was a lugger crowd at that burg than was expected, Slocan contributing the band aud two football teams. The celebration was mild, but it Bufneed to bring the people ofthe various ham- expense in tlio future in Opening up I lets together. In the morning Si' pressor plant.

It Wa* Edited by tha Frofe-uor of HUtors- (Prof. Wro-g) of Toronto Unlv«r»ll}, and Publiihed by Tbat Inst Its*, lion of Lsarning — Canada'* Bala- tion. to tbo Empire—Other Section* of tho "Review. The fifth volume of "The Review of Historical Publications Relating to Canada," published by thc Univorsity of Toronto, and edited by the professor of history .(Professor Wrong) and the librarian of the university (Mr. H. H. Langton), has just appeared, and embodies a review of all the publications of 1000 relating to Canada. It is sumptuously printed. Annually for five years a volume such as this has been issued. It seemed at first hardly possible that each year a book of moro than two hundred pages could be filled with review of the publications relating to Canada appearing in a single year. Yet here it is. Nearly seven pages are taken up with the brief titles alone of these publications. The contents ore divided conveniently into groups, of which "Canada's Relations to the Empire" stands first. Nothing very important under this head appeared in 1000, if we except the able book on "Commercial Federation and Colonial Trade Policy," written by Professor Davidson of tho University of New Brunswick. He proposes, in lieu of preferential trade, that subsidies should be paid in order to cheapen transportation within the Empire. This would amount to a practical preference, and would do good all round. Anything more than this is unlikely, he thinks, to be effected. The second section in The Review is "The History of Canada," and a large number of works appeared in 1900. There are some learned reviews on the Cabot question. The great edition of the "Jesuit Relations." just completed, calls for a long article. A new and scholarly life of Champlain, by M. Gravier, has appeared, and some attention is paid to works on the diplomatic relations between Great Britain and the United States affecting Canada. A good many inaccuracies and omissions in the articles on Canadians in the "Dictionary of National Biography" are pointed out. In the third section, ""Provincial and Local History," the French shore question as it affects Newfoundland is reviewed, the "tenth island" being treated as really a part of Canada. The Nova Scotia Government has published a new volume of archives throwing more light upon the Acadian question. Judge Routhier has written an interesting history ot the City of Quebec, and Mr. John Ross Robertson's "Landmarks of Toronto" is noted. The Northwest and British Columbia are much in evidence, Mr. Deckles Will- son's and Dr. Brycc's histories of the Hudson Bay Company being the most important works in thc year. Mr. Baillie-Grohman gives an amusing account of sport and life in British Columbia. In the fourth section. "Geography, Economics and Statistics," numerous works on the Klondike are noticed. This review is the best guide to the enormous literature upon this subject. In an earlier volume Dr. G. M. Dawson, the late Director of the Geological Survey of Canada, described the Klondike literature up to the time of writing. The publications of 1000 have not lost the former sensational character. The Klondike miners are, it appears, admirers of Shakespeare. "Nearly everywhere Shakespeare seems to lie the favorite author. ... A gulch that had a full set of Shakespeare considered itself in for rather a cosy winter, and there were regular Shakespeare clubs, where each miner took a certain character to road. The reviewer of tho Statistical Year-book of Canada, edited by Mr. George Johnson, rebukes what hn calls its tone of narrow patriotism. The progress of mining in Canada and the work of the Geological Survey are described, and we havo a record of travel in Canada, oxtendlng from Labrador to the Pacific Coast. Perhaps tho most breezy book reviewed is "Buffalo Jones' Forty Ye-ars' of Adventure." "Archaeo- logy, Ethnology and Folk-lore" and "Education" complete tho volume. Many publications relating to the Indians in Canada appeared during the year. In connection with education, readers are pleased to see a ■ketch of the career and a complete bibliography of Sir Daniel Wilson. On the whole, the contents of the review are most varied and interesting. Nowhere else is there to bo found such a repertoire of informa- tion regarding works on Canada. Professor Wrong and his collaborators criticize frankly. Tho tono is fair, however, and frank criticism Is still so rare In this country as to deaerve a special meed of praise. Whelp* of tho Lion.

Interesting Lecture Hefo.-** tlse Cnnitsllan Inatltutc—Lord Stsustlis «*si,. ansl the Visnlalse.l Ilufnilsy- Tbo «era of tlse Dominion. The London Times of April 8 contains the following report of a paper on "Northwest Canada," by Rev. John MacDougall of Morley, Alberta, before the Royal Colonial Institute: Lord Strathcona presided, and, In introducing Mr. MacDougall, said there was no one who knew more about Northwest Canada than that gentleman did, for his father was one of the first missionaries to the Indians, and the* lecturer himself had for more than thiry years been doing excellent work there, not only as a clergyman, but as a teacher. Looking back to his own experience of forty years, he could recall the timo when the Northwest was indeed a wilderness, for at that time, instead of comfortable farms now to be found everywhere, there were practically none except a few at the Hudson Bay Company's posts, while the country for enormous distances was black with buffalo, of which none now remained. In the course of his paper Mr. MacDougall said that while the Great Dominion of Canada as a whole might bo said to be one of the brightest goms in the diadem of the British Empire, Northwest Canada might bo called the gem of the Dominion. It represented a block of territory 1,000 miles square, or 640,000,000 acres, and we.s possibly the largest consecutive acreage of arable laud in the world. Not only was the soil prolific under cultivation, but oven without cultivation the whole area had been richly endowed by nature as one of tlie greatest pasture lands in the world, while everywhere tho moisture was sufficient. The settlement that had gone on during tho last quarter of a century had been but the beginning of the exploiting of tremendous possibilities, which continued dormant because of the lack of population. Contiguous to and underlying these great agricultural and pastoral advantages wore immense coal fields, possibly tho largest as yet discovered in the world. Gold was found in the sands of the streams, and gold, silver and copper were in tho quartz ledges of the mountains, though the area of the prospecting and discovery of these mineral deposits was so great that as yet comparatively little had been done. Almost everywhere, too, was abundance of water- power. It might, also, bo regarded as an excellent fiold for the tourist, inasmuch as the scenery within the foothills and the mountains was surpassingly grand. Another important consideration was that all this rich country was in touch with the home markets through British routes. COL. HUGHES IN ACTION. What Be Did at tho Battle of Faber'* Pit —Commended Ofnclelly. Lieut.-General Sir Charles Warren, in his report of tne battle of Fabcr's Pit, Griqualand Wsist, on May 80, 1900, says: "Section 16, Lieut.-Col. Hughes, who was at the main farmhouse with the scouts, on hearing thc firing, and seeing thc horses stampede, got together a few of his men and rushed into the kraal, opening a brisk fire on tho ridge where thc Boers were in the diamond washings, until they were obliged to cease Are by tho Yeomanry advancing out in front of them. At the same time. Captain Parkin and a troop of 23rd Yeomanry, took possession of thc south end of the same kraal, and acted under the ordors of Col. Hughes. By holding this kraal, they prevented the rebels getting hold of it from the direction of the cemetery. At this time tho rebels began to run away from tho south side of the garden, and were in doing so exposed to our fire, but Col. Hughes, supposing them to be our own men, ordered Capt. Parkin and party to cease lire, and they thus escaped. Col. Hughes then decided to outflank the enemy, and With some of tho Yeomanry and some good shots of various corps, he drove tho enemy up beyond the direction of the cemetery, thus getting in lino with Col. Crowley, and bringing his right shoulder up ho took Venter's men on their flank, and drovo them away to the south." In section 23, Lieut.-Col. Hughes, A. A. G. Intelllgensn Officer, Major Ogilvio, "E" Battery, Royal Canadian Artillery, and Capt. Mackie, Warren's Seottts, an* named "as being particularly worthy of mention for tho excellent services they performed In their respective spheres during tho day." General Warren's report has been strongly supported by Lord Roberts himself, In his despatches to thc Secretary of State for War. He Barred Newcaitle. When Edward VII. as Prince of Wales visited America in 1800, Canada went wild over him, and in Detroit and Chicago tho crowds were so dense that the party could scarcs*- ly reach their hotel. So many were tho receptions, dinners and other social functions, in which tho Prince participated that he finally broke down through sheer fatigue and ovs*r- excilemcnt. Tho Duko of Newcastle, who was tho Prince's companion, de- cids*d, therefore, to stop off on their way to Bt. Louis at Dwight Station, a quiet villngo famous for its shooting. Tho Prince brought down a bag of 14 bra.'j of quail aire", four rabbits. But the pleasure of tho day was marred by tho following incident: As the royal party approached a farmhouse an unmistakably British settler appeared at the door and invited every one except tho Duko of Newcastle to enter. "Not you, Newcastle!" ho shouted. "I hove been a tenant of yours and have sworn that you shall never set a foot, on my land." Accordingly the party passed on, ami the Iniiner, though revenged on his old landlord, had to forego the honor of entertaining royalty under his roof. DEATH ROLL OFLABOR 13th Annual Report of the On** tario Factory Inspeotors. 394 ACCIDENTS, 22 BEING FATAL Careleunet* a Favorite Explanation, Bat High Preoure Deinandlssg- Speed I* Surmlied to lie a Much More Potent Cau*e of Accident* in Factories — Cuntraat Uetween Saving Time aud Sstvinic "Life. The thirteenth annual report of the Ontario factory inspectors, which covers the year 1900, shows that in spito of a general desire to comply with tho law as to the safety of employes there was a record of 394 accidents, of which 22 were fatal. Carelessness is a favorite explanation, but if one looks for tho cause of the alleged carelessness it will generally be found in tlio high pressure that creates a demand for speed in modern industry. The workman is admonished by his foreman or employer to tako sufficient time to insure safety, to make everything perfectly secure, and to avoid accidents. At the samo timo, he is admonished by the very conditions under which he works to sacrifice all things, safety included, to speed; for he knows that sloth is the unpardonable sin, that if his day's work does not show satisfactory results ho will be forced into the ranks of the unemployed without further inquiry. Modern machinery, with its irresistible strength and unimaginable speed, is responsible for a long record of maiming and death. One victim was drawn against a mill saw by tho carriage that conveys the logs, and died from his injuries. Another was caught by the casting ou the moving bed of a metal planer, and was killed by being drawn under tho stationary rest that holds the cutting tool. Both these accidents occurred with slowly moving machinery. Uncovered tanks of boiling water were responsible for two deaths, and another was due to scalding through disconnecting a live steam pipe. Three deaths resulted from unprotected gearing, but in one case the injury was comparatively slight, the fatal termination being due to blood-poisoning. The danger of shafting has been emphasized by a record of four victims. One was oiling it while in motion, another was putting on a belt, a third was crawling under a shaft in a forbidden place, and the fourth was caught by a sheepskin that fell accidentally on a shaft and tightened about his hand as it was wound up. Two men were killed by coming accidentally into contact with circular saws, and one death resulted from a wound inflicted by a piece of lumber thrown from a saw in motion. Two other saw mill hands met with fatal accidents, one having been crushed by a falling log and the other killed by a blow from tho lever of a saw carriage. A bursting grindstone caused one fatal accident, and tho record of the power hoist includes one death coming under thc cognizance of factory legislation. One accidental death is recorded as due to the falling of a lumber pile. A boiler explosion resulted in ono fatality, and one death was caused by the explosion of a secret compound used in making fireworks. This is the record of deathB which come within the purview of tho factory act, and of the long array of lesser accidents many were of a serious nature, resulting in permanent injury. As a general rule reasonable care has been exercised to prevent needless danger, but human ingenuity is not directed toward devising safeguards. A fortune awaits the man who will devise some means of cutting a few minutes off the timo required to do tho work, but he who devises a scheme for securing the safety of the worker must bo content with the satisfaction of knowing that he has enlarged tho scope of factory legislation. The Boll nnd tha Ribbon. An extraordinary incident was reported on Tuesday at the premises of a draper in tho Now cross-road. It appears that whilst a drove of cattle wero passing the shop a bull evidently took a fancy to some scarlet ribbon, and endeavored to gratify his pi'i'ssiiiul vanity. Finding the doorway too small for his admittance, the animal opened a way for himself by smashing up thrs*o largo plate-glass windows, 12 feet by 12 feet, anil entering the establishment. Then ensued a most exciting scene. Women srream- sil, two ladles in the shop falnts-d, and men shouted. The bull in the nii'iintlme, was tho centre of attraction, being actually on show in t.ho big window. Eventually ho was en- tlii'd out, badly cut, and was led away.—Lloyd's Weekly.

TWO BROTHERS. One the Moat Conssplcuous tn Parliament, the Other Amoug tho Silent, Unnoticed linck Ilenclser*. Charlemagne Laurier, the representative of L'Assumption, is thc half- brother of the Premier—the samo father, but child of a first wife of Carolus Laurier, the Premier being tho only son by the second wife, Charlemagne Laurier is 10 years older than his distinguished half- brother, and he looks it, says Tlio Toronto Star. Ho is one of the silent ones; a regular attendant at thu sittings, but an uncommunicative one. There ho sits in his seat, day after day, his iron-gray hair barely discernible behind tho heads of tlio other occupants of tho Opposition bs-nches, taking no part in the discussions and going and coming so quietly as ordinarily to attract littlo, if any, notice. It is interesting to wonder sometimes what Charlemagne Laurier thinks about it all. AVhat fancies pass through the busy brain beneath that iron-gray thatch? Does he ever meditate on tho tricks fate plays upon her mortal puppets? Does he ever envy thc distinguished brother so near to him by blood ties, so far above him in tho political world? Does he ever wonder at the partiality of tho fickle goddess who makes one brother the first Commoner in all the land and ot the other an obscure, silent, back bencher? Does he ever wish to exchange places with his distinguished half-brothor, to barter the peaceful quiet of his semi- obscurity for the trials and tribulations, the rewards and worries, of those who sit in the fierce white light of publicity? Doubtless strange thoughts sometimes chase themselves through the brain of this quiet littlo man on the back benches, but it is doubtful if the older brother begrudges the younger his greatness. If ho does he gives no sign. And tho Premier? To his brother he is as genial as to tho other members, probably more so, but the Premier of Canada makes no display of his emotions. Tho other day, wearying possibly of tho seemingly endless budget debate, the Premier crossed over to the Opposition side and wandered up through the labyrinth of seats to where his half-brother was sitting. One hand he placed with a caressing motion on the older man's shoulder, while with the other he shook hands. Just a few words wore exchanged, and then the first Commoner in Canuda came back to his place. What did tho Premier say in that brief interview? Probably nothing very much, but he made for the moment the obscure little man with the iron-gray hair the cynosure of all eyes. Doubtless, if Charlemagne Laurier is a sensible man—and the chances are that he is, else he would not be where he is—he feels proud of the man who throws a shining lustre on the family and tho name of Laurier, and is content with the modest measure of reflected glory that has hitherto been his portion. BIG NICKEL PURCHASE. Nickel Copper Co. Acquire* the MeConnell Propertle* In the Sudbury. The Nickel-Copper Company of Hamilton have purchased tho MeConnell properties in what is called the Northern Nickel Range. These aro supposed to be the largest nickel and copper bearing properties in tlie entire Sudbury district, and wero under option to tho Nickel-Copper Company for some time, but lhat company had not evidently succeeded in its refining process until lately, as they allowed the option to lapse. By their action in purchasing these properties for over $300,- 000 they must have become satisfied that tho Frosch system of reducing ores is a thorough success. From a conversation with one of i In- largest shareholders it was learned that tho company will begin extensive developments at once. Any doubts as to the Frasch process which those interested might previously have entertained have, by the action of tlio company's purchase of these properties, boon removed, and tho development of tho Nickel-Copper Company's entire properties in the Sudbury district will, it is expected, follow. THE NEXT EDWARD Will Probably Cone to Canada to Hoot Bt* Boyal Father and Mother. Little Prince Edward of Cornwall promises to begin his travels earlier than his father or grandfather did. If reports be true, ho may accompany his aunt,, the Princess Victoria, to Canada, to meet his parents returning from their world trip. The King's personal popularity appears to have descended to the heir presumptive, who is already familiarly dubbed "King David." Stories of his childish prattle aro eagerly read, while the doings of his parents, even whilo they are visiting distant parts of tho Empire, only excite a perfunctory interest. It will bo next to impossible for the present generation to speak ot the Duchess of Cornwall as Princess of Wales. Tho globo-circling tour may eradicate this feeling, but it is impossible to deny Its existence. The King's wisdom in insisting on the Australian trip in face of the opposition of the Queen and the Duko and Duchess becomes daily more apparent. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company Is building a train of luxuriously-equipped cars for tho purpose o'f conveying the Duke and Duchess of York and party. Black Bull Inn.

NO SURGEONS NOR SECONDS IN ATTENDANCE AT THIS FIGHT. The Story of Haw "BaUdog" Kelly and Mulissne the Stockman Settled Tbelr Little Affair of Honor on thc Lonely Plains. If French gentlemen thirsting for each other's gore really wish to know how fa fight for honor's sake, let thera visit Medicine Hat and hear the story of how "Bulldog" Kelly and Mahone the stuck- man fought for theirs. It is only necessary to say of Kelly that once iu his life he figured in a celebrated international law controversy which tho then secretary of state, Thomas F. Bayard, ended. Ills' mother was a friend of John A. Logan. Mahone was nothlug more nor less than • frontier cattleman. He met Kelly first at Calgary, where in a dispute over cards an enmity arose between tliein. Subsequently they clashed In tho Modi* cine Hat country, and Mnhouc wrongful* ly accused Kelly of stealing stock. Kelly would have killed him then anil there but for the interfercace of tlie Canadian mounted police. Subsequently one of these policcmeu suggested to hlin that he challenge Mahone to a duel and tluit they have it out alone. Kelly evidently thought well of the suggestion, for a slay or two later, meeting Mahone in that isolated and abused town, Medicine Hat, he quietly told him that ho would meet him the next morning as thc suu rose en the Tortured trail and prove to him with a gun that be was not a thief. Mahone nodded his head in acceptance of the defiance, and that was all there was te the challenge. Kelly slept in a ranchhousc that night but was up before dawn saddling his horse. He carried for arms two six shooters and a short hilled bear knife. He rode away from the ranch in the heavy darkness before daybreak, head ed for the Tortured trail. He was a six footer, sandy haired, heavy jawed ansl called "Bulldog" because he had once pitted himself against an animal of thai title and whipped him in a free fight. His courage was extreme from the brute point of view. To illustrate this, years oftcr this event, when he was on trial fur bis life in a murder case, he was instructed by his attorney to kill one of the witnesses against him in the courtroom if he attempted to give certain testimony. "You listen to him," said the attorney, "and if he trieB to testify as to certain things let him have it" Kelly, as a prisoner, entered the courtroom with a knife up his sleeve, and he sat through all the proceedings with his eyes on tbe man he was to watch. The latter grew restless and when he look the stand broke down completely and did not aid the prosecution at all. Ho divined without knowing it tbat if he testified ns tbe prosecution believed be would Kelly would then and there end him. And this all took place not In a frontier court, but In a court of the United States govern ment Weil, Kelly rode down thc troll as gay In spirit as a man of his nature could be. He did not whistle, for whistling men are rarely brutal. But he abused his horse. and that was the best of evidence that he felt well. He watched the dark bang closer and closer to the plain grasses, thc stars grow less brilliant until suddenly in the east it was as if a curtain wns drawn np and the day came with the call of wild birds and a wiad which rose from the west to meet the sun. He glanced toward Medicine Hat and from that point, out nl the black and gray of the bour, rode Ma hone, armed ns his opponent was. The} were a mile apart when they tecognlied each other. Kelly reined in bis horse uml waited. Mahone came on. No surgeons nor seconds were In attendance, Medicine Hat was asleep. Mabono drew nearer. moving a little to the left, ns If to circle obont Kelly. The latter siuldenly dropped under his horse's neck ansl lirs'il. His bullet just clipped tbe inane of Mo bone's horse. Mabone gave a wild wliimp and fired bock, riding, os Kelly was, Indian fashion and looking for an opening. Both horses were now in motion, and Hie shots enme thick and fast. Kelly's animal wen! down first, screaming from n bollel through his lungs. His rider Intrsns lis,! behind him. Mabone made a charge unsl lost bis own horse, besides getting n bullet through his left arm. He, too. in trenched. In a fs*w moments one of his shots cut a red crease across the forehead of Kelly and tilled bis eyes with blood. He wiped himself off and tied a hnndkor- chief over the murk. Koch was afraid to start out from his horse, but in the course of bulf on hour their ammunition was exhausted, and then they threw their pistols from tbem and came toward each other through tho grass with tbelr knives out Kelly now hnd two good wounds nnd Mahone had been shot three times. They visibly staggered as tliey ployed for the first chance to close In. At Inst iho knives croaaed. and Kelly got the lirst thrust aud miss ed, for which owkwardness Mahone gav» him a savage cut. They hacked ansl stabbed at each other until neither could move, and the small population of Medicine Hat, getting wind of whut was go. lug on, rode out and brought them In tor medical attendance. Kelly, besides \,\% bullet wounds, had 14 knife cuts anil Mr.. hone bad 15. Tbey were put to bed i„ the same room, aud the same doctor attended both. For days they lay almon touching each other, and neither spoke. Medicine Hat had been unable to decide which bad the better of the tight, and l| seemed as It it would be resumed If boUi lived to recover. But one morulng Ma. hone raised himself painfully from Ll*, mattress, and be put out his hand to lui- ly and sold: "You ain't no thief. You're game." And Kelly covered the hand with Disown, and they shook. That settled their feud. They were under tho doctor'*, care for three months, but when able to get out rode away to Medicine Hut together the best of friends. That was a real fight the only kind ot a tight that a real man goes into it he \s going to fight at all. It was a pity tbnt Kelly did not hold his courage afterward tor better usee. He became Involved In one of tbe most brutal murders known to the Calgary region, escaped the hangman's noose by technicalities and flnnlly in Nebraska or Wyoming fell off a hoi car one night and was ground to pterei by tbe wheels of a transcontinental freight Mahone never fonght again.

A certain kind sif spider is capable of tanning a bubble* taking it down 11st-.>n_-ii the water and discharging it into its nest, so that the eggs—and later ou, tbe young —are kept dry and are supplied with air. Although the water spider lives on land, where it needs plenty of air to breathe, it i.s really liaislis'sl tinder the water a-.isl spends 0 great deal of its time there beneath the surface. Its body U Covered with hair, whirls holds the air like drops of water, nnd wheu tbe body i* charged with these uir particles the spider dlvei down under tbe surface, funning a bubble whish it holds between the bind legs and sanies with it. lt is .inly iu this manner that it can furnish air for the Interior sif Its nest, keeping it dry until the egg* are batched. Klrst, the mother spider builsls her nest This is placed *"iiin* distance down in the Water and is a sort of cell spun in thu ■hope uf an egg, having nu opening oa the underside. Wben this is completed, sbs- rises tn the surface anil there charges her body thoronghly With air. Then once more she divca under the surface, lhe Water funning a bubble which gradually swells out from the body. This she skillfully Imlils between ber furry hind legs (irmly and yet gently, so tbat It won't break ami escape. Swimming ti> the nest, she discharges the bubble in it. This, of course, crows)4 out some of the wuter. leaving the top 'ills's! with nir. As the nest is large, re- qulring u great ileal of air the spider makes another and yet another trip, uo- til the whole Interior is free from moisture. Hy this simple process she kes-pt the eggs dry anil furnishes air for the young until ths-y are large ennugh to swim out nnsi get it fnr themselves. I!ut as much 81 the spider lives under water it is always sliy. No matter li»**" King it may have been swimming around under the surface, the moment it comes to the top there is no truce of moisture ia it. The reason of this is that the air particles that cling to its hair keep oil the water and prevent it from soaking through the skin. Another strange thing about it is that it can swim with great speed in spite ul it* balloonllko burden.

S., During bis life he has passed through much sicknoss, and now, thanks to Dr. Williams' Dink Pills, he is again enjoying vigorous health. To a re- portor who recently interviewed him jjr. Silver said "I am now in my (i.nd .sear, and I may dale the beginning of my trouble to my six- teeiit li year when I was thrown from ft ho'no's back and had my spine gomewliat injured. This wus always a weak spot and it seemed to leave mo more susceptible to other troubles as lt grew worse as I ad- vanced In yeurs. As a farmer I always, had to work hard, and often to expose myself to inclement ws^ather. My buck trouble was finally aggravate*'! by indigestion, and as this affected my appetito, I was very much run down. Finally a few years ago I wus attacked with lagrippe, which developed into, pneumonia. My family doctor succeeded in conquering this trouble, but for six months I wus not able to leave the house, and nil thut he could do for me did not bring back my strength. Finally 1 consulted another doctor, but with no bet ter result. In fact, before 1 stopped doctoring 1 had tried four different physicians and all the time instead of getting better I was growing vi'akiT. Home eighteen months had now elapsed since my attack of la grippe, and during tbat time 1 was not able to do any work. My whole system seemed exhausted, and my nerves shattered. On line days I would go out for a while, but ofts*n 1 would become so weak and dizzy that I could scarcely get back to the house. One day a neighbor asked mo why 1 did not try Ur. Williams' I'ink Pills. I thought, the advice might be worth taking and I sent for a half dozen boxes of the pills. De- fore t bs*y were gone there was no doubt I hud found u medicine that was helping ins*, and I got a further supply I corltiniu'd taking tho pills for about three months, and before I quit using them I was feeling better and stronger than I had done for yeurs.

"I ran across a queer old relic In my line of business recently," said a safe and L?k expert who is in the city. "I was prowling around a machine shop in a town In Iowa, trying to find a fitting tbat I needed, when I happened to notice a sheet iron box which seemed to Lavs once been entirely covered with glass tubes attached to the surface by cement, All of the tubes were broken, and most of them were missing, but thc general arrangement could be easily traced, and ths contrivance impressed me at once with s Bense of familiarity. Presently I remembered about it. It was all tbat was left of the one time famous 'anncstbetlc safe,' an invention which ought to have been sponsored by s society for tlie prevention of cruelty to burglars. The idea of ti.9 thing was that any cutting or drilling through the outer casing should release certain chemicals which would promptly stupefy everybody in range of their fumes. In thc morning tbe owner would find his valuables Intact and could simply call a dray and pack off the unconscious burglars to jail. "With such a device It was unnecessary to have massive steel walls, and the model which I chanced to resurrect waa mode of one-eighth inch sheet iron. The inner box was entirely surrounded with glass tubes about tbo diameter of a lead pencil add filled alternately with two chemicals which were supposed to produce stupefying gas when they came into contact. There was a thin outside casing, und the theory was that any effort to break in would necessarily fracture two or more of the fragile glasses. It seemeil incredible, but several prominent capitalists became greatly interested in the scheme and stood ready to back it with unlimited means until actual tests finally convinced them of its grotesque impracticability. How the model ever drifted to the Iowa machine shop I couldn't find out. It had been there for years and was probably part of the plunder ot some forgotten junk sale. "Tho only other safe I know of fit to rank with the 'anesthetic' as a freak was ono desigucd by on inventor in Washington. It was circular iu shape, with a pivot at the bottom, and at nighttime the plan was to connect it with an engine belt and spin it like a top. The Inventor was very much iu earnest and made a large working model. He admitted modestly that the safe could only be used 'where steam power was avaliatflo.' What would prevent the burglars from throwing off the belt he didn't state." Hake Believe Mourners. The Chinese possess a great love of funeral display and heartless crocodile tears, as they seem at least to western syes. An immense trumpet U even used sometimes, which is worked like a garden pump to sob out the "boo-hoo" of thc afflicted relatives. The more unearthly and heartrending Its sobs tbe better they seem to be pleased. For a great funeral all the beggars and ragamuffins and impudent small boys in the vicinity are hired. They are decked out in tawdry clothes, or perhaps their rags are not even disguised in nny way, but they arc at least given banners to carry and are hired to wail and sob ns if their hearts were breaking. The dull, indifferent, stolid faces of the men and ths roguish, mischievous smiles on the boys' faces belie their wails and give a very unreal air of hypocritical sorrow to ths gvsrags Chinese fuuernl, though doubtless there is much genuine sorrow and es many real heartaches as in other lands The End Barprlaed Him. Always read a letter to the end and hear a story to the end before you are too much slates, or depressed. A popular physician was much pleased with a certain aerated water and by his assiduous recommendation procured for it a celebrity It justly doserved.

To his surprise there came one morning an effusive letter from the company stating that his recommendations had dono them so much good that they "ventured to send him a hundred"— Here tbe page came to an end. "This will never do," said the doctor. "It is very kind, but I could not think of accepting anything."

Mr. Elliott Is still in receipt of frequent enquiries about his experience with them. To a recent questioner who at-ked him about Dodd's Kidney Pills, Mr. Ellioit was quite outspoken. ' I believe Dodd's Widney Pills to bo un excellent remedy," said he. ' 1 see no reason whatever why I should not recommend them; they havo helped me, aud I believe they will help others. If they were not a strictly honest, meritorious, reliable cure ior everything they are claimed to be, nothing would be more objectionable or .urther from my thoughts than for me to endorse them to anyone, much less lend my name to a printed (statement. But as the facts stand I bold by my former course, and shall always be happy to recomm Hid Dodd's Kidney Pills by any mcumi in my power." '1 be letter referred to in which Mr. Elliott endorsi's Dodd's Kidney Pills, was published in this paper some t.'.no ago. it reads as follows : ' J feci it my duty to inform you of (be great benefit I have derived from using Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Dr. Sanche's "Oxydonor' Scores anothes Victory Over Disease. Hearing that Mr. T. 8. Forrester, of this city, a resident of tho Fortune I il ink, had recently mado a marvellous recovery to health after years of sufl ,"ing, during which time he had endured tortures and had several times been given up by medical men as being beyond hope, a Fiee Press representative called upon him to obtain particulars of the case Which had bullied medical skill. "The troublo from which I was n'llering," said Mr. Forrester, ''was Lie result of a gunshot wound which I received during thc American civil war. Tho bullet entered my leg. This caused an aneurism to form in the (V i in, und also caused a swelling for In lust eight years, and about two years ago I had a severe attack of grip, and also had a heart trouble known as mitral regurgitation, caused through an imperfect valve, tho result of a strain received in wrestling. I bad a severe cough after i ie attack of grip, and the strain of that seemed to break up the competition and caused dilatation of the heart, which is considered incurable. All treatment for 'it is merely palliative and there has never been a case k own where compensation once broken down has been taken up again. One of the concomitants of dilatation is dropsy, and dropsy set in with me very badly. My boc*y was swollen so badly that I coula not get into a suit of clothes. In fact I could not find a suit large enough in the city. I was tapped for dropsy, and lhe accumulation of fluid was so rapid that it was thought I would have to be tapped again ten dnys later. I felt very uncomfortable, but did not get tapped, but found there was no water in tlie cavity, but an effusion under the skin. Then my leg broke out, and I sat with my foot in a wash basin l ir five months with the fluid dripping out, and it ran so rapidly that my wife bad to empty the basin twice a day. The dropsicil condition was alleviated, and then ulceration set in ami my leg was swollen and ulcerated i oni the toes to the knees and the calf of my ls*g measured 27 Inches round. One nicer was fully an inch deep. Nobody expected me to get better. Nothing seemed to be: Mit the leg, but after a time it siart«*d to heal a little, and I went out to work, but soon came back. In 18!>9, two local physicians gave me one month to live. Subsequently Dr. Ilevine told me I had not three weeks on earth, anc* again later on he said one evening that I would not see daylight. I realized myself t.m* I was pretty low at the time. I could not lie down for over a vi;", nor sit in an arm chair, but sat ansl slept tn a straight-backed cha . with my head resting on the trbls*. I also went to the hospital, but came back home shortly afti*r, but wns always afraid to lie in bed. About two months ago a friend of mine called in and was tcll'ng me ubout Oxydonor, and told me of a case which it had benefited. A ." w days later ho brought one over and from the time 1 put it on the leg cnmnienci'd to look as if it were healing It is now healing very rapidly, and is greatly Improved. My gs-neral condition and appetite is good, nnd all this has taken place since I commenced putting on the Oxydonor. I suffered fearful tortures with my leg. The Irritation was intense, nud one night I felt like cutting it i-ff, nmi would have done so bail 1 i bought. I coulsl have lasted until l could have bad the stump dressed, ns the pain would have ben ls*ss than that I was lbs*n suffering. I consider it in- crs'dible tbat a man could sutler as T have done and live through it, but 1 have a wonderful vitality and power of resistance. I consider that my n>- covery was a miracle and was the direct work of Ood in answer to prayer, but think that, the Oxydonor was the instrument of His grace." Mr. Forrester is a highly competent watchmaker and Jeweler, ansl is well known to the jewelry trad3 of this city. He is a native of Iouis- iana but has lived most of his life in Atlanta, Georgia, until 1898.when ho came to the Northwest. He is a veteran of the civil war, having fought on the Confederate sisle, and bas studied mi*dicine and graduated ns a physician, Tho Free l'ross representative who interviews'd him fniiiisl him heartily thankful for his recovery, nnd ho now has hopes of being once again fully restored to bis former vigor and strength of body Mr. W.
