in a community may

HHiRball Trophy Goes to Roulund.
The annual Labor Day celebration
in Slocan turned out a very pronounced success and all the attendants both locally and from the neigh-
borlng towns enjoyed tliomseves immensely. Tlio weather was perfect
and all of the athletic contests were
interesting and well arranged and
went through without a hitch.
Almost the entire forco attended
from the Ottawa mine, aud the
Enterprise and Black Prince wore
also represented,besides the numerous
millers and prospectors from all points
in the hills where smaller forces are
at work. These commenced to gather
early Sunday evening and by the time
the train arrived with three well filled
coaches of excursionists from Rosslaud
and Nelson the business streets were
crowded; The visitors from all points
seemed to enjoy themselves immensely
and when the day ended they were
enthusiastic in expressing their satisfaction.
The music of tlie day was furnished
by the Kossland bugle band and
Piper Gunn of Nelson, who, with his
pipes, his sturdy form and Highland
costume, proved a baud alone, not
taking into considortion the crowd of
enthusiastic "Scotties" who followed
him throughout the day.
The lirst event of the day wns the
ri'io competition between the N«w
Denver ritie club and the local marksmen. As thc steamer Slociin would
not arrive ertrly enough to pull off the
match the New Denver sharpshooters
left in Henry Stegn's gasoline launch5;
ami arrived here at 10 o'clock in the'
morning. Fol lowing is the score ol
the match, which was won by Slocan
with 19 points to the good:

Tho Caledonian games produced a
surprise in the person of Renwick,
the Slocan athlete, who won all of the
eveuts with ease eexeopt the running
high jump, which he did not seem to
want, and the shot put, where he
gained second prize by using his left
hand, the right member having been
injured at tne shingle mill and rendered useless for the time being. The
Nelson sports went broke ou their
man Douglas, who was unable to make
better than third in the hundred
yard dash, the first event of the athletic games. Thomas of Nakusp was
awarded the second prize. After
that the hotting was not so
lively and the many offers ol
the backers of the local athlete had
fewer takers. The standing broad
jump, running broad jump, 220 yard
race and 100 yard hurdle race came off
in the order named and were won by
Renwick of Slocan first ami Thomas
of Nakusp second. Billy Hicks tool;
lirst prize in the running high jump
and Thomas tool; second money.
Renwick, as usual, was lirst in the pole
vaulting and Hicks second. The lirst
prize for putting the shot
hired by Stofer of Nelson
second. Freddy Lavell
swiftest youngster in the
yard dash for lx>ys of IG
McBeath, the juvenile
Nelson, arrived next.
At 'l-'M o'clock the greater part of
the crowd adjourned to the baseball
ground, and a seven inning game between the Rossland and Slocan teams
commenced.   It was a well contested
game and the Slocanites had the
better of the match until the la»t inning, when thev got rattled and let
the Kosalandera pile in six runs on
them, which gave t'lein the game by
a score of 9 to 8 and the one hundred
dollar cup.
Tliis game was followed by another
baseball match between the Nelson
and local juveniles. Th*) Nelson kids
walked awny with the imaginary silver
mado Is by a score of eight to nothing
ami thereby rendered themselves undoubtedly the happiest visitors of the
day.
There were three entries in the
drilling contest. Aitchison and
Pondry drilled lirst and put the steel
dowu ii'lj inches, Fred Tattersall and
Ralph Gillette followed, making a
hole 26 inches in depth and taking
the lecond prize of $60. 'Tlu* first

WILL NOT DOWN.
Tnlk of ii Smelter at Till* Fluor It Still
Kept Up.
The talk of a smelter at this place,
to bo erected by a number of leading
miuing men of Kootenay, will not
dowu and has become a live subject.
Saturday's Nelson News had tbis to
say:—
"There is more talk aliout the smelter at Slocan. Those interested in the
enterprise aro getting all tho information they can as to the cost of the necessary machinery, etc. In the course
of a few days the city council of Slocan will lie waited on to see what concessions they will make to the parties
building and operating a smelter in
their city."
Judging from the appearance of
thiujrs locally, the city fathers will
have little to give the promoters of
the new enterprise to locate here, beyond a cordial invitation to come. Exemption from taxation would doubtless lie granted, but so far as a cash
bonus Or a land grant are concerned,
thoy-nre out of the question. Slocan
has bad her experience with bonus-
giving and bitterly the ratepayers rue
the bargain mnde. It will be years
before the town is free of the burden
imposed, and in the meantime the
people cannot consider auy further
cash concessions, no matter how legitimate aud desirable the-scheme might
lie.	
Gttrilen Thieve*.
If then* i.s an individual moro despicable than a chicken thief, it is the
fellow that will swipe garden stuff.
One of these gentry has been doing a
land office business lately in town,
several householders having suffered.
The chief attraction is cucumbers,
though tomatoes, cabbages, etc., also
disappear. If you have a garden,
watch it. 	
Fell Down a Shaft.
Bernard Schnrtenburg, a young
man of about 22 years, died last
Thursday afternoon at the Phoenix
general hospital from the effects of a
fall iu the "glory hole" of the Kuob
Hill mine. The funeral was held next
day under tho auspices of Phoenix
Minors Union, of which the deceased
was a member, the burial taking place
iu the Phoenix cemetery.
takes th* smelter management. William S. Rugh, now of Spokane, returns to Rosslaud as office manager
for the Le Roi, and James H. Tre-
vorrow, mine foreman for some time
past, remains as mine superintendent.
Mr. McMillan says the company's intention is to continue operations at tho
mine and smelter with probable increased activity at an early date. The
question of concentration is still open.
.John H. McKenzie returns shortly to
submit a report on the concentration
experiments.
AT THE OTTAWA.
Main Drift U  Again   ltiinnliig   lu Flrgt-
CIum Ore.
The main drift on the Ottawa, on
tho east vein, is aguin in ore. Recently they cut through the big oro chute,
proving its length to be 300 feet. For
a time tho vein was barren, but ore
liegan to come in in kidneys, and the
indications at present are that another
permanent chute is being approached.
Ore from the stopes on this level is
still being shipped at the rato of two
cars a week.
The uew level, known as No. B, has
leached solid ground, being in 50 feet.
Before it is finished it will be 1000
feet in length, and will crosscut both
the west and east veins, both of which
are certain to hold large bodies of ore.
In the No. 4 level the west vein shows
a length of G5 feet of ore, and this in
depth will be much increased. Two
veins on the same level, with shipping
oro, will be somewhat unique iu the
camp.
The two tons of ore shipped some
time ago from the No. 4 level to Jersey City, has reached its destination,
and is now being experimented on,but
the result has uot yet been made
known. Tho coming winter will be a
busy one at tho Ottawa.
Our New Governer-Geuerat.
King Edward has approved the appointment of Earl Grey as governor-
troneral of Canada in succession to thc
Earl of Minto. Although a liberal
and a loyal follower of Mr. Gladstone,
Earl Grey has belonged to the little
group of liberal imperialists of whom
Lord Rosebery is the leader. His
name has always Ix-en associated with
those who stand for Greater Britnin
and strong foreign policy, while adhering to tho liberal policy of reform
at home.
Myrtle Lead Widens.
The crosscut on the Myrtle has
reached the hanging wall ofthe vein,
being 110 feet past the raise. The
vein has widened greatly, lieiug fully
80 feet in width in the crosscut.
Several bunches of ore were passed
through, two or throe streaks of rich
ore having been encountered on the
foot wall. It is the intention of the
owners to drift both ways on the
vein, the one to the south lieing aimed
for the ore chute struck in the upper
workings.	
lla'iatun Wiped Out.
The little towu of Beaton, in the
Lardeau country, was practically
wiped out by fire last week. It started iu the Prospector's Exchange* hotel, whieh was destroyed, though the
contents were mostly saved. Crawford's harness shop was next burned,
together with his blacksmith shop and
residence. The other places destroyed
were: VV. B. Johnson's two houses,
Beatty's hotel, and the assay office
blown up. Brantford & Co.'s store
was saved with much difficulty. Tho
total loss is heavy, as there was practically uo insurance.

A passing traveler on the Slocan
the other morning, takiug note of tho
varied beauties of the surroundings,
remarked that Now Denver was the
prettiest town he had seen in his
travels and that the gathering on the
wharf appeared to be the most cheerful and lively looking be had come
across for some time.
Mrs. J. F. Dolauey and daughter
Kathleeen took passage this morning
for a trip to the old home, Peter-

A lot of the Slocau boys got off the

Constable Black arrested a tramp
the other morning for having boldly
taken three of Henry Stege's Belgian

fire in preparation fora sumptuous repast. The change to the cooler must
have been resented, for he set fire to
his temporary lodging. Happily the
smoke was quickly noticed and tho
lire quenched and the culprit was
promptly haled off to Sandon.

calamity In store for h'lni. nnd lhat put
Jn an appearance in due time. One day
when a letter bad come lor blm he culled his daughter Bessie In nrid snlil.
"Well,'it has come. Old .lobii Doan
li going to foreclose tbe niortguge on
Me. and In a few weeks ivo shall be
Homeless. Here's lhe notice from his
man of business."
Bessie Thompson was a girl nf twenty. In addition to bein,''; good looking and baring ji good education, her
acquaintances called ber a "brick."
They said so because she had faced
misfortune with u brave;' heart than
Her father and had displayed u level
ticiid nnd much shrewdness in trying
to stem the tide and extricate hlm
from his unfortunate situation. She
had even taken a trip of fifty miles to
»ec old John Doan In person and try
to soften his heart, but had only found
His agent nnd been gruffly told thnt
iter fnther must pay up or go. She had
expected the blow, and ber answer to
Her father was:
"Well. If wc cnn't pay we'll have
lo go, of course, but we shall be allowed a few weeks' grace, nnd wiio knows
•what may happen in that time?"
Something did happen, but it came
about in a queer way. Two weeks had
passed, nnd Miss Bessie had started to
jnuke soft snap In a bis kettle iu the
•back yard. Farmer f.lks wonld make
■oft soap In the spring even though as-
aureil that fhe world would be no
more by midsummer. Tbe big kettle
Jind been tilled with lye from tho beach
snd a lire started under it. and thc
Hour was - o'clock in tbe afternoon,
when Miss Bftssle sat down on the
back doorstep out of tbe smoke to
think and plan for the future. In tbe
course of a quarter of nn hour she was
so lost In her thoughts that she was
oblivious of ber surroundings and was
Jumped to her feet by bearing n bursb
voice saying:
"Young woman, don't you know tbat
Settle i.s boiling over uud wasting the
jye?"
It was n man of sixty who had entered the front gate and passed around
tbe house. lie was decentlv dressed,
hut be wns bowbacked and lame, and
his snarling, stingy disposition could
be read In his face.
I "I say that the kettle Is bailing over,"
Jio repealed as Bbe stared at bim anil
wondered who he could be. "It skeins
to uie that a girl of your age ought to
Hnow enough to put a slick across it.
Perhaps, though, you've got lye to
throw away or you had rather think
of marrying some prince tban of making soft soap V"
i "I— I wns thinking"— she stammered.
1 "Yes; 1 know, but it wasn't aliout
the soap. Young woman, wben you
have anything on hand attend to it
and let castle building alone. Thinking
won't bring bread and butter."
Miss Bessie walked down to the lire
and rearranged it a bit nnd then laid a
aticlc across the to]) of the kettle to pro-
Tcnt another accident. While sbe was
doing this the old man sat down on
the Steps,1 with a grunt; and looked
around and muttered to himself. Presently he called to her:
"Young woman, is your father nt
work anywheres about the form?"
"No, sir. Father is- in bed with a
broken l"g."
"1 s'pose he wns doing sonic fool
thing when he broke It'/"
"lie was drawing up wood last February."
"Uml   Where's your mother?''
£ ."Dead."
"TJm!   Who runs the farm'/"
"I'm doing niy best to care for
things, but It won't need anybody
long, ns we shall soon be leaving."
"Got to leave, eli?" be chuckled.
"Say, young woman, I'll bet you a hairpin there's a mortgage ou this farm.
Isn't H so?"
"Yes, sir."
•'And I'll bet another that it's held
by old John Doan, thc old Hint hearted
rascal.  Come now."
"Yes."
"I thought so; 1 thought so. And, of
course, he's going to turn you out'.'"
"Ile wants his money, of course,"
replied the girl. "Perhaps he has to

him and tell him j-ist bow things have
gone with us 1 bt*evo he would give
us a show."
"Well, why don't you see him-/"
"I have tried to, but 1 bad to deal
with his agent."
"Yes, yes!. Cm, um'.   So your father
la In bed with a broken leg and you
•ro trying to run tbe farm'/    1 see.
Can you cook and wash'/"
,  "Of course."
"Know enough to milk a cow and do
churning?"
"Yes; quite enough."
"Who makes your clothes?" contln*
nod the old man as he looked her up
and down.
"I do, sir, but why do you ask tne
these questions?   What right Inivo"--
"Tut,' tut, young woman: It's my
jrajr to ask gjueetlons, and it should be
your way%.   answer them.   Can yon
split wood vfchout backing your own
feet on"/"      \
"1 have done it."
"l"iu: Y'ou happen to know a thing
or two. Now. young lady, If you were
planting potatoes how many eyes
would you put In a hill?"
"Four or live."
"Aud how about corn?"
"From four to six kernels."
"Yes.   And do you play the piano?"
"Fairly well."
Wonderful young woman—positively wonderful!" he chuckled us he rubbed bis hands together. "Another question or two and I'll be going. I if course
you expect to get married some day'.'"
"I—I don'l know.'' stammered the
blushing Bessie.
"But 1 do. Of course you expect to,
und your chance has come. What do
you say to ine? I'm puny nigh sixty,
but I'm worth half a million dollars
and din buy you silk dresses aud velvets and diamonds. .Inst say the word
nnd we'll be married iu a month, and
I'll save the farm for your father and
give hlm a new start."
"I thank you, sir," replied Miss llea-
sle, with dignity, "but I shall marry
for love or not at all."
"Y'ou are plain of speech. Miss Sauce
Box, hut I'm not going to quarrel With
you. Yon go your way and I'll go
mine, but if you let that soft soap
spoil I'll come back and raise a row."
A week later Partner Thompson,
who was making an etVort to hobble
ubout his room, received a letter In an
ollicial envelope. He opened lt with
sinking heart, but next minute he was
calling to Bessie.
"Here Is a discharge of mortgage as
a present to ine!" he gasped.
"Is It possible?"
"And here ls a letter from old John
Doan, which says that you are the
most sensible girl he ever saw, even
to refusing his offer of marriage when
you were making soft soap that day.
Bessie"—
But Bessie had run away to cry.

H.  I).  IUCCS,
Editor and Proprietor of the   Mnni-

Start   nt nn   Iowa   Liuvjit.
An Iowa lawyer tells the following
story of his first months of practice.
lie went to a small country town and
secured an otliee room, in front of
wblcb was placed the usual sign. Then
he sat down and waited for his clients
to appear, all tile while feeling very
much the dignity of his position. The
day passed, und no one called, and another and another, uutil weeks went
hy. and still there had been no client.
One morning, however, he was at the
depot in attend upon the arrival of the
daily accommodation train, quite an
important function of tho town, when
a handsome, well dressed young lady
approached and inquired. "Is this Mr.
Smith'/"" At onco the feeling of importance returned, and ln bis blandest
tone he replied: "It Is, madam. What
can I do for you?"
"Cm you tell me how much lt will
cost to send a sow and pigs down to
the next station'/"—Green Bag.
The  Peach.
Peaches are a tonic, an aperient, n
footl and a drink combined, or. to put
lt briefly, they are meat and medicine.
A good meal may be made on eut
peaches with cream and sugar, bread
and butter. After n meal of this vu-
riety a person will feel more like attending to the duties of the afternoon
than if he or she indulged In heavy
foods, reaches are good before breakfast and after dinner. They are good
for the digestion, good for the blood
and good for the complexion. Some
people eat tbem without cream or
sugar and with good results. The
fruit is so rich in sugar and acid that
It preserves its ilavor a long while, but
to get the full benefit it shouhl be
eaten as soon us It Is cut. Redness of
the nose due to congestion. Inflamed
complexions, scrofulous and bilious
tendencies are said to be materially In-
fluenced by a liberal consumption of
this luscious fruit.
The Thrifty Pledmontese.
In character tin.' ricdniontese are very
unlike the popular conception of the
Italian people. As a class the peasants
are sober, Industrious and thrifty. The
following instance of the thrift of the
peasants has in it a touch of pathos.
On one occasion, having given a cigar
to a boaro (herdsman). I found afterward that the precious weed had lasted the recipient a whole month, a few
whifl's only bein:.- taken after the evening meal, and then It was carefully
laid aside till the next evening.
Whether the custom which still obtains in some parts of Piedmont of regarding the harmless, necessary domestic cat as a delicate morsel is to be put
down to thrift or merely to n perverta-J
appetite is doubtful, but It ls well
known that to (ill the pot-nu-fcii of a
Pledmontete peasant Is the usual fate
of wandering or homeless felines.—Ku-

In October of thm yoar ho enter -l
McMastor University, Toronto, wharo
he studi.'d for tho ensuing four yeurs,
receiving the  Arts decree  in   1 '.n a-j.
Seven years <>l severe study hud
somewhat impaired Mr. Biggs'
health, and al the conclusion of his
course bo returned to the old homestead at Mn ni t im. where he remained
for the greater part of the next
eighteen months.
Meantime events were slowly transpiring to lead Mr, Biggs Into Journalism. Mr. \V. H. Kuii.in. the owner and editor of the Sun, had decided to tako nn important managership ofTorod him In Montreal. Tho
Sun was temporarily anlruslcd to
his son, \v. li. the younger, who for
n short lime acted as editor. Mr,
Biggs decided to launch oul on the

No I.ove Lost ndncni «h» Arnold*.
John Denison Cbamplln told an amusing story of Matthew Arnold and Sir
Edwin Arnold. "Some years ngo," he
■said, "when walking with Matthew
Arnold ou the banks of Uie littlo river
lesf", near Bomscy abbey, conversation
turned on Sir Kdwln Arnold and 'The
Light of Asia.' published four or five
years previously, lt is not necessary
to enter into Mr. Arnold's opinion of
the poem. During the conversation I
tenk occasion to nsk him if ho were
related to Sir Edwin. Ho paused a
moment, as if shocked nt the suggestion, and then said: 'No, we nre not of
kin. Indeed, I doubt If he hnd nny
right to tho name of Arnold. I bavo
been told that he is of Jewish descent'
A few weeks later I happened to meet
Blr Kdwln nt n dinner In London and,
prompted by, I hope, a not unpardonable curiosity, propounded a similar
query to blm. 'No,' he replied quickly,
with what seemed a shade of usperity
In his tone, 'I am not related to Matthew Arnold. We arc of wholly different families.1 Then, llis face breaking
Into his peculiar smile, he ndded:
•Matthew Arnold ls nn Intellectual
dyspeptic Uis brain does uot digest
properly.'"
'•MaarlfNh" Hirer.
Maxwell Sommerville of the University of Pennsylvania spent nearly forty years of his life in oriental travel
and study.
Professor Sommerville used sometimes to narrate the strange error that
was once made by a French explorer
be had known. This explorer had made
a journey to Kairwan and had drawn a
map of the country he passed through.
i lie singular thing about this map was
thai the name "Mnarlfsh" appeared so
many times on It. A river would be
tl.e Maarlfsh river; a mountain would
be Mount Maailfsh; a village, a lake,
a valley, each would be called Maarlfsh.
When Professor Sommerville aaw
this map he laughed.
"Don't you know," he said to the
traveler, "what 'maarlfsh' means ln
Arabic?"
•No." said the other. "What does lt
mean'.'"
"It means 'Don't kuow.' "
'•Ulie   IIICCIB    waiia   ajtavoa    vpi'»» -
fpaln," said a niati who has traveled
In that country. "In the Basque provinces the people are alert, up to date,
thrifty and industrious. In Barcelona
I was agreeably surprised nt the evidences of modern progress, and Its principal street, the Banibla, ls undeniably
liner than any boulevard In Paris. In
some otlier sections tbe natives ure
about the limit of sloth and evince n
don't care spirit In everything Unit concerns their temporal welfare. Tbey tell
a story of a Spanish shoemaker who
was approached by a customer with
wornout shoes wiih a request that
they be repaired Immediately. The cobbler, called to his wife to know bow
much money tliere was iu tho house.
Shu answered enough to supply the
family wants for another day. whereupon the customer was told that If he
was in such a great hurry be bad better try somo otlier shop. Tills Is the
spirit that prevails in some parts of
the kingdom, but must not bo taken as
a national characteristic."—Washington
Post.	
The  W'orrt   "Cad."
"Cad," it is pointed out by a writer,
Is a word furnishing "a pathetic Instance of verbal degeneration." lie
says: "Its grandfather 'cadet' and its
father 'caddie' arc still alive ln the
language, though the relationship Is
recognised by few. 'Cadet,' signifying
by derivation from the Latin a 'little
head,' or 'little chief,' was a sufficiently
, honorable-word for the younger son of
a noble family, and acquired Its mud-
em army sense from the fact that the
army was often the destiny of younger
sons. But It nlso begat 'eadlo' or 'caddie,' a Junior or subordinate In general,
such as a bricklayer's assistant or the
familiar golf caddie.   Then   caddie' or
'end' came to mean an odd Job man,
nnd from calling the men wbo bung
about to pick up jobs by this name,
Oxford undergraduates presently applied it to 'town' Iff general, as coil-
trastod with 'gown.' As no compliment
wns thereby intended, its final degradation is obvious."
A  Jenlotin  Apr.
Sir Harry Johnston, the Bngllsh explorer, once traveled on a ship with n
pet ape. It was a great favorite with
all the passengers until there came
aboard at Madeira a lady with nn Infant. The latter received a pood deal
of attention and the ape in conse-
quence became neglected ami jealous.
Blr Harry Johnston followed it on deck
one day Just in time to prevent n tragedy. The child had been left unguarded for a moment in Its cradle. The ape
had- made for it. pulled it from the
Cradle and wa.s in the act of throwing
it overboard when the traveler pounced
upon lt. Says Sir Harry. "It would
certainly have hurled lt into the sen
had not my arrival caused the guilty
ape to drop the child on the deck and
Scramble away." The ape was relegated to it strong Iron cage for the rest of
that voyage.

The inovo railroad, which rut.s from
Callao to tbe gold Ileitis of Ccrro de
Pasco, Is considered one of the wonders in tbe Peruvian world, lt is certainly the greatest feat of railroad engineering in either hemisphere. Com*
menclng in Callao, it ascends the narrow valley of tbe Blmne, rising nearly
5,000 feet in tbe Urst tifty-.-dx miles.
I Thence it goes through the Intricate
gorges of the Sierras till it tunnels the
Andes ut an altitude of 15.040 feet, the
highest point in tlie world where a
piston rod is moved by steam. The
wonder is doubled ou remembering
lha; this elevation is reached in sevcti-
ty-eight miles.

Whisky as an alternative to wine
may undoubtedly be employed medicinally with advantage In certain cases,
both for men and for women, But this
is very different from the constant
recommendation which is suggested, as
if, indeed, doctors regard whisky as a
sort of panacea for every disease under the sun, and take a perfect delight
ln urging its consumption upon llieir
patients. As a matter of fact, there
never was a time when medical men
were more slow to prescribe the use of
alcohol In any form than they are ln
the present day, nor a time wheu so
many refrained from advising Its use
nt all.—Hospital.

The   Clinnire   From   Short,    Strnlatat
Fluke*  lo Carved Arm*.
The ship's anchors In general use up
to the beginning of tho last century
consisted ot a long, round Iron
stiank, having two comparatively short
straight arms or flukes, Inclined to the
shank at an angle of about forty tie
grees and meeting it in a somewhat
sharp point at the crown. In large anchors the bulky wooden stock was built
up of several pie, ,'s, hooped together,
thc whole tapering outward to the ends,
especially on the aft or cable side.
About the beginning of the last century a clerk in the I'lymontli navy
yard, Paring by name, suggested certain Improvements, the most important of which was making the arms
Curved Instead of straight. <\l lirst
sight this simple change may seem ol
little value, but consideration will show
this is not the case. The holding power
of an anchor depends on two principal
conditions -namely, the extent of useful holding surface and tho amount ol
vertical penetration. The latter finality is necessary on account of the nature of ordinary sea bottoms, the surface layers of which are generally less
tenacious and resisting than Is thc
ground a short distance below.
In the year 1831 chain cables began
to supersede the hempen ones, with the
result that the long shanked anchors
hitherto ln vogue were no longer necessary, and anchors with shorter
shanks and with heavier and stronget
crowns gradually came Into use. In
Consequence of these changes, 9 commission wns appointed In the year ISliS
to Inquire Into the holding power ol
anchors and a principal result of Its
labors was tho adoption of the so called
admiralty pattern anchor, which continued to be used lu the llritish navy
up to the year IMbU
The invention of the steam hammer
ln isio made tho welding of heavy
masses of Iron a eonifutrntivoly easy
and reliable process, so that from this
time onward the strength of anchors
fully kept pace with that of the chain
cables, which had come into general
use., a number of patents for anchors
were taken out prior to the great exhibition of 1851, and, public attention
bavin;,' been called to the models then
shown in tbe following year, a committee was appointed by tlie admiralty tc
report on the qualifications of anchors
of the various kinds.
Practical trials were then Instituted,
and, as a result, some of tlie tests to
which the anchors were submitted
were of doubtful value-such, for instance, as "facility for sweeping."
Nowadays, bowever, at all events for
deep ships }n shallow harbors, it is
considered an advantage for an anchor
to offer as little obstruction as possible
above the ground.

How  taa Kceii Ont  of Trouble.
"The rivalry between tbe two arms
of tho national service, the army and
navy," said an army man, "is most
shown lietween the marines and the
Jacklea ou a man-of-war. Tlie marines
are soldier policemen, and the jackies
have a keen contempt lor them. I remember bearing of one old tar who was
always getting into trouble. Finally
he made peace with oue of toe marines.
" 'Tell ine how to keep out of trouble';' the old tar asked. 'If you'll show
me the way I'll give you my plug of
tobacco.'
"The marine tried the plug and found
it to bis liking. Ho tightened bis belt,
straightened his cap and then delivered
himself of this advice:
" "Whenever you're feeling easy nnd
happy and comfortable, quit lt, for you

Mr. O. Uarbcr, Simcoe, Ont., writes:
"Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is a splendid modiclne. I was troubled lor a
long timo with headachee, which
would come on about onco a wocic
with such violence that I could not

did no good.
"About eight months ago I took
six boxes of Ur. ('base's Nerve Footl,

CASTING  LOTS.
1 Cnrlotiai Mllitnry C'ntitom Thill VVnn
Once in Vogue in Europe.
Iu the armies of tin* t-eveiiteenlh nnd
eighteenth centurijs the custom of casting lots to dec' le what soldiers should
be punished for the offenses of all was
common. At Winchester, England, in
lCi-bj, complaint was made that after
iho surrender there had been unfair
plundering, Six soldiers were tried
und found guilty, and it was decided
by lot which one of lhe six should be
hanged. At Tangier In 1003. aud
again in 1005, two Boldlors had to cast
dice on a drumhead, nntl he who threw
tho least was executed. Thomas May's
translation of Barclay's "Icon Ani-
morum" gives a curious Btory of this
sort. Speaking of English courage, be
says that during the war in the Netherlands some soldiers of the Spanish
party were taken prisoners by the
Dutch, who decided to make reprisals
for the previous cruelty of their enemies. Out of four and twenty men
eight wore to be hanged. "There wero
lots, therefore, thrown Into a helmet."
says May, "and the prisoners wero
commanded to draw their fortunes—
whoever should draw a blank was to
escape, but whoever Bhould draw a
black lot was to be hanged presently.
"They were nil." says May. "possessed With a great apprehension of their
present danger, especially one Span-
lard. Their pitiful wishes and tears in
some of the stnnders by did move pity.
In others laughter. Tliere was besides
In that danger nu Englishman, n com
mon Boldler, who, with a cureless countenance, expressing no fear of death at
all, came boldly t..> the helmet and drew
his lot Chance favored him; ii was a
safe lot. Being free himself from danger he came to the Spaniard, who was
yet timorous and trembling to put Ids
band Into the fatal helmet, ami receiving from blm 10 crowns he entreated
the Judges—oh, horrid audacity—that,
dismissing the Spnulard, they would
suffer him again to try his fortune."
May further relates tli.tt "the judges
consented to the  madman's  roquc i.
Who valued his Ufa at so low a rale,
and ho again drew a safe lot." May
seems rather to regret the second escape of the foolhardy Englishman,
whom be denounces as "a wretch unworthy not only tif thnt double, but
even of a single preservation, who so
basely had undervalued his life."

GOVEKNMKNT   AFTER   LK   KOI.
Iii court of revision for ihe Rossland provincial assessment district
last week an interesting case presented itself affecting thc payments
by the Lo Roi company to tho government of the two per cent tax under
the mineral act. The deputy inspector of taxes has taken action for
the government to collect ?19,(537 alleged to be due by tho company for
tho fiscal years ending in 1902 and
1903 over and above the sum of 8*17,-
621 actually paid by the company.
The government claims that the
statement of freight and treatment
given in the quarterly reports bv the
mine on which the tax levy is based
differs from the figures submitted in
the annual reports of the company
for the said years. The company
maintains that the smelter is a separate company and entitled to the
profits on tho ore treated, which profit
is tho difference between their reports
to the government and to the share
holders. If the action is sustained
the Le Roi will be compelled to pay
taxes on the gross values of all ores,
deducting the bare cost of hauling
and treament.
Under the government's contention
the ownership of the reduction works
by the mine would be a drawback so
far as the mineral act is concerned.
Tho fact that the Northport smelter
is operated by a separate company
may dispose of the matter entirely in
favor of tho mining compauy. The
whole question is adjourned till Oc
toiler at tho request of the Lo Roi
counsel. 	
Telegraph Line Improvements.
The Canadian Pacific Telegraph
company has just completed a new
pole Hue between Slocan City and
New Deliver, says tho Nolson News.
Previous to this tho wire has been
strung on trees, and was apt to be
prostrated whenever thero was a big
wind storm or a forest lire. The forest fires along Slocan lake were the
cause of a great deal of inconvenience
through the burning of telegraph
poles aud the falliug of burned trees
across the wire. In order to obviate
this a right of way had to be cut from
20 to 30 feet wide all the way from
Slocan City to New Denver. The
installation of the pole line aud the
cutting of the right of way has given
employment to 15 men during tho
past two months. The greatest difficulty was exporiencud in tho neigh-
horhood of Twelve Mile, where a force
had to be employed night and day
for some time to keep the line clear,
owing to tho burning trees falling
across tho wires.
