Much talk has from time to time
agitated Slocan min ing circles respecting works to be erected near at hand,
to treat the ores of the camp on nu
economical and profitable bads. Concentrators were lirst installed, being
from time to time remodelled or abandoned. Then came schemes for the
treatment of one ores, plants being
successfully established in connection
with the Payne, Ivanhoe and Sloean
Star mills. Still later came the announcement of a more ambitious zinc
enrichment project for Rosebery by
the Monitor people, who are to commence construction this month. It is
believed tliis may eventuate iu zinc
and lead smelting works of large proportions. Ou top of these schemes
came the intimation that the Sullivan
people would complete their smelter
at Marysville, and enter the Slocan
market for wet and dry ores.
But, of still greater import tothe
camp is the fact that a German syndicate purpose erecting a .smelting
plant in one of the Sloean towns, yet
to be announced, for the treatment of
the ores of the various sections of both
mining divisions. Phil Hickey, manager of the Ivanhoe, was here last
week, and to The Drill man stated
he had had Dr. Sustmau, the well
known metallurgist,up at his mini.1 for
two days making a careful examination of the ore bodies and taking
samples. The doctor is similarly examining all the mines of lhe eamp.
Mr. Hickey stated tbe doctor's visit
was for the purpose of sizing up the
camp's tonnage, with a view to'estab-
1 ihing Uie works mentioned. Tie]
men backing the venture ar i engaged |
in the metallurgical business in Eur- j
ope, but have not as yet eat ibliahed
themselves in this country. Thev litei I
;.i take the zinc-lend ore, direct from!
the mines and treat theni at th"ir own j
smelter, p.tying the minoowner New
York Quotations for silver nnd load
and inflicting no penalty for zinc. The'
company, however, would rotaiu all|
zinc values as their own, to dispose ol!
lor themselves. As New York quota- j
tions have never been obtained here
for lead, the advantage to the camp
would be simply immense. In addition to all this, Dr. Sussmiu informed i
Mr. Hickey that the freight and
treatment charges on the ores wonld |
b • in the neighborhood of •*>) per ton
another huge Leuefit.
Of course, it l.iuaii.s to be seen
whether or uot this new project materializes, but at any rata it would seem
that the day of small things, so far as
the local smelters are concerned, is
about over. Spirited competition by
numerous smelters and enhanced
prices shoulil assist that lead bounty
to stir up things in the Sloean.

ore, to mix up with silicious ores already at Northport smelter. It con-
nine 1 2612 oz of gold, 3600 oz of silver, and 172,800 pounds of copper.
Estimated profit on this ore, after dj-
dncting all expenses, $7760. Expended on development during the month

Ulg Strike on tht> St. Kngeue.
An imposing and important strike
of ore was made at the St. Eugene, at
Moyie, last week, the ixxly carrying

Fnblle School Kntertalnment Friday »
Pleaiant Affair.
On Friday afternoon were held the
closing ceremonies at the public
school, previous to ndjourning for the
midsummer vacation. The exercises
took place in Principal Hindle's room,
which had been chnrmingly decorated
with flowers, plants.and shrubbery for
the occasion. More citizens attended
than nt anv similar function in the
history of the school, while tho exercises themselves were uniformly successful.
Illustrations of class work were
given, revealing to the parents the
systematic manner of the staff in imparting knowledge to the children. A
pleasing programme of singing, readings, recitations and dialogues followed, those participating being: Wesley
Gething, Nellie Terry, Daisy McCallum, Wesley Baty, Effie McVicar, C.
Tipping, Harris Ross, Wonetta Tipping, E. Graham, F. Tutcher, C. McCallum, Alma Baty, Lizzie Rae, E.
Tipping, Josephine Mason.
The average attendance during the
past term increased to about 55, and
the record of the various classes in the
school was also lietter.
TIMKLY WO lilts.
Editor Drill:
Sir, Tho inspector's annual report
re Slocan public school, published
some time ago in The Drill, was one
of which auy school might be proud
few schools iu B.C. received as good a
one. Tho trustee board and the general public have shown a firm resolution to support and encourage the
principal iu the performance of his
duties. The closing exercises of the
school have lieen the most successful
and largely attended in its history.
Yet, I close the year's work with feelings bordering on despair, with a conviction that under all this apparent
success there lies hopeless and irretrievable failure, unless something can
be done to offset the evil influences
that have, to a largo extent, nullified
my work during the past six months.
Night after night, as I sat correcting exercises, or planning how best to
present the lessons of the coming day,
there have come to my ears, through
closed doors, theuuearthly screams of
the future men and women whom I
was preparing myself to instruct on
the morrow this, too, at hours when
the children in any well regulated
boms are, or should lx>, in bed. Day
after day I have fouud many times a
majority of the school pupils unable
to do justice to their school work, for
the simple reason that their physical
and mental powers had been exhausted in the exciting, and, in some cases,
unseettily.scenes of the previous night.
The children are not ouly destroying
their health iu this way. "but are contracting habits that will forever debar
them from holding positions of trust
and responsibility.
It is universally admitted that children must be allowed time for play
and occasionally, sav once a week, a
night out; but it is also recognized by
all persons of judgment that a limit
should Ik* set, and that even in play
conduct should In: somewhat becoming.
There is a time when female pupils
are school girls, and when their chief
concern should lie to advance in their
studies. Later, they become .young
ladies, whose whole time and attention are devoted to the choosing of, or
of being chosen by, a life-partner.
Now, when a vouug lady has arrived
at this Stage, lier parents make a mistake in sending her to tlie public
school. Books to bo mastered require
all her time; Iwnux require not only
her time but her heart and soul. In
a case of liooks vs lienux, beaux win

The dominion government has decided not to disallow the act, passed
bv the B. C. legislature last session,
securing certain settlers within the
Island railway belt surface and under
the surfaoe rights. The Esquimalt &

interfered with the company's rights
in the lands conveyed to it by the dominion government. In the opinion
of the minister of justice, it was within the power of the province to pass

Her Name
By LILIAN C. PASCHAL
...Copyright, HXX1, by T. C. McClu.e...
"Oh, I beg your pardon!" she gasped
as tho car, jerking over new sinuosities
of track perpetrated by the repairs,
threw her bodily like n luscious wind-
fallen peach Into the lap of a young
mnn who was buried In the day's
newspaper.
He looked np amusedly ns she g.ith-
ered herself from Ills saving embrace
nnd the total wreck of his paper; then
he arose hastily.
"Take my seat," lie said courteously,
with hat nllft nnd the faintest twinkle
ln his eyes. "You will tind It more
eonifortsible-if I don't."
The ambiguous words sounded ungracious to the girl's first confused
tbought, and s' j hesitated, Bnt one
glance into the frankly admiring eyes
nnd another repair serpentine decided
her. She sank with more haste than
grace into the proffered sent, while her
preserver stooped to recover her
dropped purse, hnndkerchlef and other
■cattered properties.
Sho rewarded hlm with smiling
thanks, then turned her anxious attention to tho moving panorama of rain
deluged streets outside. The problem
ln economics as to how she should
reach her home, two long cross town
blocks from the car line, Innocent ns
she was of umbrella or rubbers, began
to absorb her mind.
She only vouchsafed one brilliant,
perplexed glance upward at tho fellow
passenger who for her sweet sake was
submitting himself to tho modern Inquisition of "banging by a strap till
dead."
But ln that Instant of wireless telegraphy he perceived hor thought nnd
resolved accordingly. So he rode on
past bis club block nfter block till his
fair vls-a-vls, having made up her
mind to run If not for her own life for
that of her new laco lint, signaled tho
conductor nnd got off tho enr.
Grasping the voluminous fluffery of
her silken skirts ln both hands, she
poised for flight, when a deep voice addressed her ln nn extremely respectful
tone:
"We seem to be going tho same way,
and you hnve no umbrella. Won't yoo
share mine?"
Fragments of Maria's elder sisterly
counsels regarding strict propriety
floated through her mind ns sho hesitated. But the mnn was evidently a
gentleman, and besides there was the
pouring ruin, und her new hat would
bo mined, not to mention this her very
first long gown. ,
She put her little hand on bis offered
arm as trustingly as the child she was,
und they set forth.
In tbat short walk ho made himself
deferentially agreeable, nnd she, who
had been shut ln from nil contaminating mnlo society by n careful sister of
forty, her only guardian, entered Ir.to
this blgbly improper escapade with all
the guilty Joy of a young filly Just broken out of Its stall Into forbidden pastures.
She wns so naive, yet daringly winsome, her soft, long lashed grny eyes
wero so Innocent, yet so mischievous,
that it was small wonder that staid
Mr. Harry Bewley, secretary to a highly respectable millionaire downtown,
promptly lost his big, impulsive, Irish*
Americnn heart nnd, what was worse.
his handsome bend.
For ns they ascended the brownstone
steps of tho old mansion nnd he realized thnt he might never see her again
in this great wilderness of New York
he rashly begged her to let him cull
and cnll some time soon.
The girl was frightened at what ehe
hnd drawn upon herself. Ills brown
eyes were desperntely pleading ns he
closed tho umbrella nnd stood beside
her under the columned shelter of the
ontrnnce wny.
"Oh. plense go nwny," she Implored
him, glnnclng apprehensively about
and hurriedly fitting her key to tho
lock. "Some one, perhaps Sister Maria.
might see you."
"Not till you tell mo when I may see
you again. I must. Life will never be
the same ngnln. Here," he hastily
thrust a card into her hand nnd held it
tliere, "I nm with Bronsoii & Co., Canal street. Any one there can tell you
thnt I nm not an adventurer nor"—
"Very well," she Interrupted in terror, hearing steps Inside. "Come next
Wednesday evening. Ask for Miss An*
ollno Dwlght."
Sho opened tho door and was gone
from his eager sight.
During the next week Mr. Harry
Bewloy's days and nights were a ferment of flitting, grny eyed visions In
blue flounces and adorable lace lints.
Anollno! What n beautiful nnme It

When Wednesday evening came nt

B.. tonight his secretary slipped out

Appareled nt Inst to suit his fastidious taste, be sallied forth to a Mi 1
lson avenue enr. Arriving at Hie house
whose fair dweller hud bnnuted hli
dreams, he rang tbe bell nnd waited,
with his henrt thnmplng so loud under
bis stiff dress shirt that he wondered
It sbe could hear lt In thnt second flOOI
front room she had told hlm was hers
and which he bad watched every evening for a week In hope of seeing even
her shadow.
The door was opened by n trim maid.
"Is—ls Miss Anolino Dwight nt
hnme?" he stammered ln his excitement, fumbling in bis cardcase.
The maid stared and then giggled,
but in n.moment straightened her deportment to its usual dignity.
"Yes, sir; 1 guess she's downstairs,"
she remarked; then glancing doubtfully nt the bit of pnstboard, "Shall I
take this to 'er?" And the giggle
threatened to break bounds again.
"Certainly," responded Mr. Bewley
In his most lofty manner, though he
reddened visibly. What the deuce ailed
the girl? he wondered. Probably Miss
Dwlght wns nt dinner. He hoped he
hnd not come too enrly. He anxiously consulted his wateh. Nine o'clock
was not so late. A burst of laughter
from below, whither tho servant had
repaired, startled his embarrassment
anew, and the words "Hug bnt, too,"
flonted up to hlm.
When she came bnck BliO wns nt no
pains to conceal her mirth. ".Ies' step

emerged, wrathful, wretched, disappointed nnd humiliated, he went buck

unpleasant names he could think of.

But a reward other than official np*
proval—cold comfort though It was—
awaited blm n few days later, in the
form of n dainty blue note sealed with
white wax. It was from Sister Maria,
as follows:
My Dear Mr. Rowley—Through a chanco
remark of one of the servants today I was

"Oh, Jerry, is that yourself? What

"Just to keep my promise of giving
warning to your honor. I said, you

There hnd been u business transaction between Mr. Finch and a friend
regarding n canary.
When Mr. Pinch became thc proud
possessor of the little yellow creature
he had not unreasonably expected It tc

But nnturo hns not been so kind to
feminine canaries ns to the sterner sex,

birdie refused to enrol.
Therefore Mr. Finch wns nngry with
his bird fancying friend.
"That's n nice sort of canary you
sold me!" be said.
"Why, wbat's wrong with lt?"
"It won't sing."
"What does lt do, then?"
"It docs nothing but hop nbout th*
cage from morning till nlgbt."
"Well, old chap, l;o reasonable. You
surely didn't expect a bird thnt would
sing and diineo too?"
HE LOST A CUSTOMER.
Bat It Wm Not of the Kind Thnt He
Need Worry About.
Sho walked Into the general postoflice
and, stepping up to the stamp window
with n number of addressed envelopes
In ber hand, said to the clerk Inside:
"Givo me 50 cents' worth of two
cent stamps, please."
The clerk passed out tho stamps,
which she received In one hand, while
the other was engaged in a search .for
coin in a handbag. At length, when a
loug line of peoplo were waiting to
get nt the window, she found a nickel
nnd three coppers.
"Why, good gracious!" she exclaimed,
with u startled look. "I must hnve
spent all niy money. But never mind,
I'm coming down town tomorrow, and
—well, I'll drop In and pay you theu."
"Very sorry, mndttm," the clerk said
mildly and firmly, "you will either have
to pay for the stumps now or return
them."
"Do you mean to tell mo that you
will not trust we for a few miserable
postuge stamps? And with my sister
In Chicago anxiously waiting to hear
from me nbout the purlor curtains?
It's the most outrageous thing 1 ever
knew. Why, I could got credit this
minute In any store in the city."
"This ls not n store, madam, and we
don't keep running accounts. This ls
the general postoflice."
"Well, I shnll write to the postmaster nnd"—-
"There nro people behind you. mud-
am, wuitiug. I shall bave to trouble
you for the stnmps," said the clerk.
"Very well. There they nre," said
she, bnndlng them bnck. "But you will
Ue sorry for tbis. I shnll never enter
these doors again or buy another

And, glaring majestically about her,
she swept out of the building.
Gettlaff Their Money'* Worth.
Some years ngo, says TIt-Blts, a railway .was being made in the neighborhood of Galashiels, and lt wns nrrang-
ed that each of the numerous navvies
employed should pay n penny n week
to a medical practitioner, so that they
might huve his services in the event
of accident or medicine In the case of
illness. •
During the summer nnd nutumn neither illness nor nccldent occurred.
But when n severe winter followed
all nt once the "navigators" began to
call on the doctor for castor oil.
Each brought his bottle, Into which
an ounce was poured, until the oil was
exhausted, and the doctor wns forced
to send to Edinburgh for a further supply.
When that, too, wns getting done, tho
doctor one day quietly asked n decent
looking fellow what was wrong with
the men that they required so much
castor oil.
"Nothing wrong nt all, doctor," ho
replied, "but wo grease our boots with
lt."
Afforilinsr Another Chance nt Hlm.
The fnlr plaintiff had sued the elderly capitalist for breach of promise,
and ber lawyer wns trying to persuade her to compromise.
"He offers," said the lawyer, "to give
you one-third of the sum you nre trying to recover If you will withdraw
the suit."
"I won't do lt," she replied. "I wnnt
tho full nmount."
"Falling in that." pursued her attorney, "he offers to marry you."
"What do I want to marry him for?"
The lawyer shrugged his shoulders.
"Well," he said, "think of the possibilities of a divorce suit, with a fat
claim for alimony."

BANISH THE WRINKLES.
In Mnny Cases They Are Merely
Signs of tho Aillments of 1
Women. \
A woman's faco plainly indicates
the statu of her health. Wrinkles,
which every womnn dreads, are not
necessarily a sign of ago. I'alor of
faco, wrinkles and a pormattiroly
agod appearance uro the outward Indication of those ailments thai afflict
womankind alone, and from Which
sin* too often suffers in uncomplaining silence, rather thun consult a.
doctor, In this condition Dr. Williams' Tink Tills are woman's best
friend. Tliey actually make new,
rich, red blood, and this blood acting upon the norvea and all lhe organs of tho body brings new health
and happiness to weak, weary and
despondent women. Mrs. .lohn Mc-
Kerr, Chlcknoy, N.W.T., tells lor tho
benefit of other Buffering women how
tlie found nuw health through thu nso
of Dr. Williams' I'ink l'ills. "For
somo years," says Mrs. McKerr, "I
was greatly afflicted with tho nil-
ments thnt make tho lives of so
many ol my sex miserable. 'Ilie suffering 1 endured can only bo understood by thoso who arc similarly
afflicted, I tried many medicines but
found none that helped me until I began the uso of Dr. Williams' I'ink
Pills. These havo actually mado mo
feel like n new person, and tho Buffering I had endured almost continuously has passed nway and life is no
longer the burden it once seemed. I
think these pills worth iheir weight
in gold to all who sutler from to nolo
complaints and general prostration."
We ask every suffering woman to
give Dr. Williams' I'ink l'ills a fair
trial. They will not disappoint you,
and tho benefit they will give is
not for an hour or a day—it. is permanent. You can get these pills Irum
any dealer in medicine or by mail
from tho Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont., at ;*i0 cents n box
or six bbxes for $2..10. See that tho

Tobolsk, where tbe Siberian Cossack
is reared, is n well watered region, with
1,000 lakes, many of them of considerable size. Many of the inhabitants
had their origin In the utilization of
tbo territory us 11 penal colony for 10u-
ropenn Russia. The people are still
very primitive, sheep being the unit of
exchange in their barter system. Cuttle breeding is extensively adopted,
nnd lt ls from this source that the Utis-
slnn nrniy draws most of its horses for
service ln the far east. These animals
are small and hardy, not particular
about food and capable of enduring
extreme heat and cold, but the load
tbey can take even on n level road is
only nbout 000 pounds. The preparatory class of the Cossacks comprise*
lads from the ago of eighteen, who
undergo three years' training. Tlio
Cossacks of the tltvt ranks are enrolled from the age of twenty-one for
a period of twelve yeurs, and all servo
for n further period of live years Iif
tho reserves, the nge of discharge being, therefore, thirty eight.

Caesar's reformed calendar made the
year about eleven minutes too long-
that Is, the solar year began eleven
minutes earlier each twelvemonth than
the calendar year. In IC82 Pope Gregory XIII. found that the solar year
had gained ten days on the calendar
year. He corrected this nud to keep
the two yenrs more nearly together ordered thnt thereafter only centurlnl
years divisible by *UX> should be leap
years. This calculation Is this: Ity adding eleven minutes regularly to the
year, nt the end of n century the legal
calendar has had one more dny than
the solar calendar. I'-y giving up tbe
additional day of leap year in three
Centuriul years the legal calendar lias
nt the end of three centuries nearly
one day less than the suhir calendar.
This difference Is corrected by having
nn extra day In the fourth ceiiturial
year. The arrangement Is so nearly
exact that tbe two years differ by only
one day In X.'I'J:; years.
Opium SniaikliiK In Clilnn.
It Is generally understood that a
largo percentage of tbe Chinese are
addicted to tbe use of opium. This is
n misconception. The belief tlmt the
Chinese of rank and cnllure use lhe
drug ls due to the prominence given
to the cultivation of the plant uud the
manufacture of opium In the Celestial
empire. As a mailer of fact, a native
who uses opium is looked upon by his
superiors ns we discuss aud classify
our drunkards.
Tbo Idea that a pill will produce nn
exhilarating effect on the beginner is
nlso erroneous. One must be accustomed to the use of tbe drug to get
the pleasant effect. '1 lie Oral pipe to
an American produces nausea. Two
or three will make hlin sick. If lie can
stand eight or nine of these "pills" bo
ls apt to dream, but the awakening Is
always un unpleasant reality.

After the.v are thoroughly picked the

Explanation of a Sword Trick.
A trick in which n sword Is apparently passed through a person's ahtlo-
men Is explained as follows: The sword
employed is n thin, flexible, dull blade.
I'he prestidigitator, whose body the
sword will simply puss around, but nut
pierce, carries concealed beneath his
vest a sheath that consists of a hollow
tube, semicircular In shapo. the two
extremities of which are bent in contrary directions In such a way that
tbey are situated in the same straight
line, the two orifices opening in front
and behind at ri^'lit angles with the abdomen. This tub!) runs around the
farther side of the man, who, appearing Instinctively to grasp the point of
the sword ns If to protect himself, directs It into the metallic tube. The
flexible sword makes Its exit between
the tails of the coat. It is necessary to
operate rapidly, so that the spectators
shall not have time to see that lhe
length of the sword has diminished,
the curved line lhat follows uot being
the shortest passage from one point to
another.

ANTIQUITY OF CIVILIZATION.
The March or Tlmt* I'liuii Flint lm-
plementa «o Ivory Slntuottea.
Bo far as the question of time Is concerned It deserves notice that not merely geology, but ulniost every form of
Inquiry into the past, throws further
buck the limits usually assigned.
Egypt, for liHtance, is continually
furnishing fresh proofs of tho antiquity of civilization. Professor Hinders 1'etrte expounded at Owens college, Manchester, England, u few days
ago the results of recent explorations
nt Abydos, lu upper Egypt from which
it appears that the ruins tit that one
spot tell a continuous story that carries us back to 6000 B. C. Abydos was
the first capital Of Egypt and remained
for forty-live centuries tlio religious
center, tho Canterbury of the land, and
there the Kgyptlun Kxploration fund
has iineai'llieil the remains of "ten successive temples, one over the other."
From the age of the Urst temple a
group of ubout 200 objects has been
found, which throws surprising light
on the civilization of the first dynasty.
A part of a large glazed pottery vase
of Mena, the first king of the first dynasty, nbout 4700 lt. 0., Showed "that
even then they were making glaze ou
n considerable scale, nnd also Inlaying
It witli a second color. The Ivory carving was astonishingly tine, a figure of
a lung showing a subtlety und power
of expression as good as any work of
later ages."
At about 4000 B. C. nn Ivory statuette ot Cheops, the builder of the great
pyramid, was found, the only known
portrait of him. Making every possible allowance for tho uiurvelous rapid-
ity of art development must not many
thousands of years have rolled over
between the pristine dwellers iu the
Nile valley and the men who carved
Ivory statuettes and manufactured
glazed work inlaid with second colors?
It Is a loug, long inarch from flint Implements to the soleuiu temple Ivory
statuettes and human portraits.—London Telegraph.
Diamond!,
The diamond, despite Its high price,
IB not tho most fashionable stone. The
emerald enjoys that distinction, but
the colored stone must have a few diamonds "to throw it up." "When I was
a youngster," says a famous jeweler,
"emeralds were $-0 a carat. Today a
fine stone ts worth $2,000. A twenty
grain pearl I used to sell at $400. Today lt would be worth $3,000. llubles
and.sapphires have gone up nlso, but
not 80 much In proportion. During my
long experience some stones have come
In and gone out of favor, the cat's eye,
for example. Settings are lighter than
they used to be. The fashion is to set
precious stones In platinum, as platinum never tarnishes. I don't think
with platinum we get as much brilliancy out of the stone as with silver,
but silvor in foggy weather goes black.
Never buy a diamond set In gold. If
you see one In a gold mount you may
be suspicious. A yellow stone painted
with black Ink looks white, and It is
then set in gold. That is the way in
which many pawnbrokers havo been
taken in.
When ab Oil In nip Waa a Cariosity.
C. M. Shackelford, a Shelby county
pioneer, was the Urst ninn to Introduce
oil In the county. Some time lu the
iiftles he visited St. I.ouls and brought
to Shelbyville two lamps and a couple
of gallons of oil.
When the citizens of the village
learned of It, there was considerable
excitement—much more than when the
electric lights were turned on a few
years ago. About 400 people gathered
at the store to watch Mr. Shackelford
take his life ln his bauds. lie loaded
up the lamp, turned the wick and prepared for Illumination by fastening a
paper lighted on thc end of a stick. The
crowd looked uneasy, but didn't run,
and the new lighting works were nn
entire success. Oil cost $3 per gallon.
Mr. Shackelford bought some to Introduce the Improvement among his fellow eiUzeua,. Jjut .he only disposed of a
nallontbe following year. — Clarence

•The county of Franklin, In ttf
stnte," said n Tennessee man, "hes the
unique distinction of being the only
county that ever undertook to secede
from the state to which it belonged. A
great many people have doubtless fo^
gotten that tlie people of Teuncssce
voted twice on the proposition to secede
from the Union. At the first electiou
in February there was an enormous
mnjority-nbont 100,01)0—against dl*.
union. A few months later, when tha
nttaek on Fort Sumter stirred thc pa*,
gions of men, another vote was bad»
and tho earlier verdict was reversed by
about the same decisive figures.
"But ln Franklin county, where
stnte rights nnd secession claimed tbe
allegiance of the entire population
there was such Intense disgust over the
result ot the first election that, led by
the Hon. Pete Turney, afterward supreme court judge and twice governor,
the citizens held n mass meeting nnt\
solemnly passed an ordinance of secession from Tennessee. Of course, when
the state reconsidered in June. Frank-
Uu county was mollified and renewed

The editor was taught by his govern*
ess that three barleycorns measured
one inch, and nt the mature age of six
years he detenuinod to test the accuracy of this statement. He had no difficulty In finding the barleycorns, but
somehow ho three grains that he
picked up in the chickens' yard agreed
with the formula. Be never attempted
the more scientific test which ls thu»
described: "The length of n pendulum
oscillating In a second iu vacuo at sea
level lu the latitude of London is
3K.13020 inches, nnd from the knowledge of this fact the standard of the
Inch, foot nnd yard can easily be obtained should the official standards nt
any time be lost or mislaid." When ia
1834 the "standard" measure wns destroyed by fire at the bouse of parliament an attempt was made to restore
it by tho pendulum test, but pendulums, like barleycorns, were found not
to agree—London Chronicle.

no man in business
should neglect an opportunity to keep his
goods before the people.
Modern usages proclaim advertising the

neglect of it invariably
ends in disaster. A
merchant's standing
in a community may
be judged from the advertisement he carries
in a local paper. To
sell goods a man must
