Tho necessary i|Uoi*um falling to appear on Monday "light, the city council met on Tuesday evening. Present, Mayor York, A'd. Smith, Bradshaw, Nichol and Woodcock. As the band meets for practice on Tuesday evenings in the same building, there was a struggle between the two bodies, the city dads having to rush their business and get out. Communications were read from A. W. A'.Jen. citv clerk, Kaslo, offering a &afe tor J36U; A. If. McKinley, agent for Taylor & Co., Toronto, enclosing cuts of safes and prices, he having called on the mayor in con nection therewith the day previous. The mayor urged the council to buy a safe, as it was necessary for the preservation of citv papers. Personally he was in favor of purchasing tho Kaslo safe, as it was a large one and as gond as new. Irs original cost was $010, 60. at the price offered was a bargain. The clerk was instructed to write Kaslo and secure terms fur purchas': of the safe offered for sale by that city. A letter was read from Frank Fletcher, dealing with the cemetery; also from Aid. Worden, while in Nel s*id, on the same, subject. Both communications ordered fyled and the clerk instructed t<» write Mr. Fletcher for two blocks of land for cemetery purposes, opposite blocks 46 and 47. The other letters were also IVled. Accounts were presented from; J. A. Fisher, building bible, $7.70; Jas. Fancll, repairs to sidewalk and load $4.r>0; A. K. Bolrtcrs'on, stationery and supplies, 111,40; .1. A. Foli-v. salary fur September, $7.*>. Ordered referred to finance committee. Thc mayor said then* we.e vanou* question* to take up, such as, unpaid trade licenses, treasurer's bonds, and tho establishment of a monthly pay day. Tlio licenses remaining Unpaid were in t'Scess of $100. After discus sion.tlic burthen of which was that, to say the least, it was unfair to those who had paid for others to trade without licenses, thfl clerk was instructed to notify each delinquent by letter, as well as by published notice; jjiving them 10 days within to pay, or action would be taken against them. The treasurer intimated, through Aid. Bradshaw.that he. would supply at once the necessary bonds for his position. It was decided to make the 15th of each month the regular pay day for the city, on motion of, Ala. Bradshaw and Woodcock. The (mistion of the incorporation noto in the bank, whieh falls due mxt week, was brought up. The matter was left to tbe finance com uilttee to attend to, and if the gov* eminent rebate is not to hand by next Monday, tho members themselves would pay the amount. On the subject of taxing the ranch crs selling produce in the city, it was stated there was no law compelling a license to be paid. The clerk was authorized to cancel the order placed with Thomson tivoa, for a seal, and an order for the same will be placed elsewhere. A desultory discussion arose oyer the condition ofthe council chamber] the mayor holdInB tbe place wns a disgrace. It should be placed iu decent shape, if iho eouncil mennt to stay there and a stove put in. It was not a question of rent, but one of comfort. Matter left to Aid Bradshaw, who will report at next regu- Inr meeting. Bylaw No. 3, establishing lire limits, was taken upand read a third time. On motion of Aid.

Council then adjourned. urvey that ground and they would do a little selling themselves". Some one then told the authorities they thought the townsite wanted was up the creek near Oro, and so the notices of sale wsre again changed. However, things got si hopelessly muddled and the chances of a sale so slim that Mr. Chipman wired the department for leave to withdraw the sale, which was granted Monday evening, the department then describing the place as Lemon Town. The government will be out a few dollars expense aud are none the wiser as to the namo and location of their realty. Plenseil With Ills I'urctiasio. T. F. Wren, of Spokane, one ofthe owners of the U & I group, Ten Mile, returned from his inspection of that property on Friday. He was thoroughly well pleased with everything he saw, as the property was found to be quite the opposite to some reports made, and the amount of ore he saw opened up gave him a better opinion pi his investment. He stated Ten Mile, like other portions ofthe camp, had suffered from tho evil influence of the knocker. In Good Condition. a hurried inspection of his Republic group on Saturday, in company wilh W.

One of the rules of Alan Stacey's life was that when he took a holiday it should be a real holiday. He was not one of those persons who combine busi- nesa with pleasure and make themselves an annoyance to their friends by keeping the bogy of work ever present with them. They left London immediately after the wedding, going by slow and easy stages to Italy, and for three long, delicious months they reveled in luxn- rions happiness. Alan Stacey made traveling so easy. He was content to travel for pleasure j he detested people who made it a business. "No, my dear sir," he said one day to an enthusiastic American who was badgering him to go and see an Etruscan tomb, "I have not gone, and I do not mean to go." "But. my dear sir, it is your duty to goi you ought to go; yon ought to improve your mind; you ought to see ull that tbere is to be seen. Tins is a wonderful specimen, a real old Etruscan tomb You may never have another opportunity of seeing one so perfect and interesting." "I don't care," said Alan Stacey doggedly. "I came here to enjoy myself with my wife. My wife doesn't care about tombs, and I don't care about tombs. All the Etruscan tombs in the world will not be the smallest uso to me. They do not interest uie. and they do not please me, and I refuse to be badgered into meditations which only irritate and annoy me. Do you go ami look at the tomb and stay there I shall not complain. 1 shall never grumble at your choice of a habitation." "Poor thingl He means well," said Mary when the energetic sightseer had departed. "I dare say he does." Alan replied, with a laugh, "bnt I wish he'd go and mean well somewhere else. Let na move on. You said yesterday that yon would like to go to Bella Villia. Let us go tn Bella Villia and lose him." They worked their way home from Italy at last, returning by way of the Riviera, and the middle of May saw Mrs Alan Stacey settled iu the beauti- fnl old house at FnHiam. with what was practically the world at her feet How happy she was! She had been used to think tbat. uo mutter what fate awaited ber in tin* tut nre. the horror. the HicL-riiitiu dread the terror, tbe re- pugnance, the shuddering misery, or trie past would always be with her Bul it was not so. Time, tbe wonderful physician, taught her to forget, and hy the time she found herself installed in the Fulhaiu huuso she might, so far as her feelings went have been Mrs Alan Stacey for ten years instead of little more than as many weeks. On the very first morning after their arrival home she sent for the housekeeper who had been left in charge of the Sycamores at the time of their niar- riaga "I sent for you," said Mrs. Stacey gently, "because it is better that wa should begin with ■*. clear understanding of how we mean to go on Yon will quite understand that as I shall continue to help Mr. Stacey with his work I shall have no time for housekeeping. You understand Mr Stacey's ways, his likes and dislikes. He has been admirably satisfied with yon in the past, and I would like you t6 know now that I desire to make no change. So long as yon continue to satisfy your master yon will satisfy me You will please continue exactly aa you have done heretofore—yonr accounts, your menus, everything just aa before Occasionally I may mako a suggestion to yon if there is some dish tbat I should like to bave, or if we are having visitors I may like to make some little alterations in tbe menu, but as a general rale I do not with to be troubled with any housekeeping arrangements" The housekeeper, who wss a Frenchwoman and thoroughly knew the value of a good place, thanked her mistress and assured her of her fidelity and devotion. Then Mary rang the bell, and when John came in answer to the summons she told him to shut the door: that ahe wished to speak to him. "John," ahe aaid. "I have just been talking toMme. Boniface and telling her tbat I wish your master's marriage to make no difference in the domestic arrangements You have satisfied him for many years, and I hope yon will continue to satisfy him for many years longer. I may have to give yon a few orders, but on tbe whole I wish you to continue precisely as yon bave always done." "Yon wonld like to have tbe key of the cellar, ma'am?" said John politely He had no more Intention of giving up the key of the cellar than he hud of giving np the use of his senses, bnt to make the offer was the (Ugliest compliment he conld pay to his new mistress. Mary langhed outright "No, John,' abe ssid; "I do not think the key of ths cellar wonld be of very much uso to me. I am frightened of collars, to tell yon tbe truth, and I shouldn't know one bottle of wine from another. No. John; yon understand Mr. Stacey's ways, und von will please just do for him as you have been accustomed to do. I don't think that his marriage—our marriage —will mako him more difficult to pleass I hope quite ths contrary. But, thank yon, John, for offering ma the * f ' '•'*--! —■— in I ■ key of the cellar. 1 am sore it is a very great compliment, and I appreciate it highly.' And then she smilingly dismissed him, and John went away feeling that, after all, his master had done the very best possible thing for himself Then she and Alan settled down to real hard grinding work. He declared many times that never in the whole course of hia existence had he lieen kept to work so ruthlessly and so persistently as by his new task mistress "By Jove, if I had thought that yon were going to goad me on like this. 1 should have thought twice before I asked yon to come here for good and all" "Oh, no. you wouldn't I" said Mary "It is very good for you, and yon know you are perfectly happy, so don't pretend anything elsa " And it was true enough. She certainly managed him and his work admirably, for by keeping him np to the mark for certain hours ahe was able to be free herself at a fixed time every day And there was never an idle minute for either of them, for, as I said awhile ago, Alan Stacey had always been a persona grata in society, and his many friends all seemed but too anxious to receive his wife with open arms. It was a brilliant life All tbat was best and brightest in the great world of art flocked to Alan Stacey's bouse now that it boasted of so charming a mistress Mrs Alan Stacey went everywhere and was noted wherever she went Almost every day, in the columns devoted to the doings of well known people, there was mention of ths brilliant novelist and his wife Her dress, her receptions, ber tastes, were continually chronicled, and for his sake —for Mary was singularly farseeing in everything that concerned her husband —she put herself to immense pains in order that she should always create aa favorable an impression as possible She was essentially the very wife foi: such a man. She never attempted in any way to shine him down. Rather, on tbe contrary, did sbe draw him out And show him at his best. She ruled his household with a dignity and simplicity that went to make her a favorite with all classes of bis friends. Her great hold over him lay in the fact that, although she was possessed of no artistic gift herself, she was never dull, was not in the least degree narrow in mind or judgment that she was possessed of that scrupulous politeness which demands as well as gives attention. At the end of a year—a year of wholly unalloyed happiness—Alan Stacey would as soon have thought of striking hia wife as of omitting to pay her any of those small attentions which are as oil to the wheel of the matrimonial chariot. It wan wonderful that it was so, because he bad bestowed everything upon her. He had changed her life from one of toil, of comparative penury, of dullness, of loneliness, to a brilliant existence, the light of which she had never known, and which, had she known, she would never have dared to think conld possibly one dav be hers And as their happiness grew and throve apace so did Alan Stacey's star of fame grow more and more brilliant There bad been at the time of his first great success croakers who had foretold tbat the star of Alan Stacey's brilliancy would wane in a little lime, but these prognostications bad proved to be wrong With every book that had come out bis genius was seen to be more intense and more brilliant He had tbe magic touch, the subtle insight, the grace, the freshness, the romance and the poetry which are needed to make a really great and lasting success To some of ub—to most of us, I should bave said—the refining fires of sorrow are necessary, but now and again there shines upon the world a great mind which feeds on the sunlight. Alan Stacey was one of these, and the more the happiness of his life increased tbe more brilliant did bis work become The untold satisfaction of his daily life, so far from cramping or stultifying him. seemed as if it but fed the fires of his genius, and it was a common thing in the set in which Alan Stacey moved for their union to be cited ns an excuse, a reason, a justification, of the great and old fashioned institution of marriage. "Marriage a failure I" cried a great painter one day when some theorist propounded the idea that marriage wus frequently a failure because of tbe inequalities of intellect and attainments in those who were indissolnbly bound her management of Stacey. I don't know." the great man went on reflectively, "that she even has a temper, and yet I fancy she could dust Stacey's jacket for him if need be." "And you don't consider their marriage a failure. Sir John T" "Stacey's marriage a failure! Good God. madam, what are you talking aboutf Stacey's twice the man he was before he married tbat little woman. I always regard her as the pivot around which all the brilliant gems of Stacey's intellect revolve And it is necessary, madam, for gems of intellect to have a pivot that they can safely and rationally revolve round. And between ourselves—nnd not between ourselves for the matter of that—I have always looked upon it as a very lucky thing for Alan Stacey that he happened to meet with the very woman who could make all the difference in the world to him.' "I wish you to continue precisely as you have always done." together. "Marrlago a failure for that reason I Nonsense I Look at Alan Stacey, the most brilliant chap that ever sat nt a dinner table, the most gifted speaker, a writer whose sway stretches all over the world. Little Mrs. Stacey has no attainments. She docs nothing. A pretty little woman manages the house nnd Stacey admirably—an ordinary, qniot. sensible, dignified littlo woman, wbo never makes herself cheap, who never gives herself away and who keeps Stacey as straight as a die. How does she doit! Not because her intellect is eqnal tu Stacey's. Not a bit of it, no, but simply because she's the right woman for him She ia tho woman he ought to have married, and, '.uckily for him, whom he did marry She la a wise littlo woman—not intellectual, no; that isn very different thin** -but wits, wise in CHAPTER XII. AN ITRM OF NEW& It was just three years after her marriage with Alan Stacey that Mary came down stairs one morning into the long, low ceiled dining room where breakfast wus awaiting her She received the noisy greeting of the rough haired terrier with a kindly pat on the head, stooped and ruffled the fur of the great Angora cut as be lay before tbe cheerful fire She turned to the manservant when he came in. "Oh, John. Mr Stacey has a bead- ache this morning, the worst he has bud for months. He says he will take no more than a cup of tea and two bits of dry toast.' "Indeed, ma'am, I'm sorry to hear that. " said John in u sympathetic tone. "It's a long time since the master has had a real bad headache Tbunk yon, ma'am," as she poured out the large cup of tea. Mary sat down in her place and poured out ber own tea. She was not worried or upset at ber husband's in disposition, because he was a man who bad all his life suffered occasionally from violent headaches, and he declared that since his marriage they had been much less frequent than formerly She helped herself to some kedgeree and opened one by one the pile of letters beside her plate, smiling over their contents new and then, as if sbe found the news they contained pleasant Then, these disposed of. she took a second helping of the kedgeree, which was unusually genu, and opened the newspaper, setting it up against the teapot for tbe greater convenience of being able to eat ..ud read at tbe same time. Like all women, she read the first column to begin with, then turned tbe paper over to the middle sheet. In one moment the whole utmosphere and attitude of ber life was changed, for tbere. in staring letters before her, waa tbe heading "Survivors of the Arikhama. ' She caught the paper up from its po sitiou against the teapot and thrust it dowu between the table and her knee, sr,-*--^ on mechanically nating her breakfast, as if by so doing she could keep the suspicions announcement at arm's length. Then she found that, although she bad gone on eating, sho would uot swallow tho food that was in her mouth, nnd, as sbe came to a realization of the fact, sbe choked the mouthful down and pushed her plate away. "Survivors of tbo Arikhama 1" Good heavens I Wbat did these four words imply? "Survivors of the Arikhamal" "Oh, my God, not that, not that I" she moaned out, putting her bands np to her head and staring hard at the opposite wall. "Not that, not that!" "Survivors of the Arikhama." The trend of thoughts which the words called up was hideous—hideous—hideous Perhaps, after all, be was alivel She passed her hands over ber face to clear her eyes from the mist that danced before them. Her blood ran cold; her flesh seemed to turn chill; her heart to have stopped its motion; only her ♦erri- blo thoughts went whirling, whirling, whirling on—to what! To the fac*. that Edward Conway might be one of tbe survivors of tbe Arikhamal She looked down nt the paper crushed upon ber knee. "I daren't read it; 1 daren't read it. I will put it in the fire as it is. It will be better not to know Oh, my God, what shall I do?" Tbe survivors of the Arikhama I Where had they been ? Years had gone by I "Oh, this is folly—folly I Pnll yourself together, Mary Stacey, pull yourself together Nerve yourself, woman I Don't be a coward 1 Faco tho worst; know tbe worst, and got it over I Anything is better tban suspicious, and the paper will tell yon." So she took np the paper with nerveless, shaking fingers, smoothed it out and bent her eyes npon it They refused their office. Mercifnl nature spread a curtain between her palpitating heart her dazed brain and the cruel news which the printed columns brought She could tee nothing. She shook herself together. "This is foolish." ber heart said. "Yon are unnerved, Mary Stacey. Rub your eyes bard, and don't be a coward. Read the notice " (To bo Continued.) •I unlnic Porks.

IN A LONDON SLUM. How the Other Half l.lvec, ai Shown ia Clsss'kessws.11. They were a couple of dirty little urchins tossing pennies at the entrance of a Clork&nweU court on ' a summer ' Sunday ufturnoon. Their hats were crownless, their bodies coat less and their foet bootless. Indeed, their entire apparel seemed to consist of two hat-rims and some tattered ticking shirts and trousers, tho bottoms of which were torn into scallops, squares and other fancy patterns. The little alleyway where they stood guard wns dar"k and ill- smelling, yet , from the rear there issued sounds of music such as one would scarcely expect to hear in that neighborhood. "Who makes the music?" I asked of tbe boy whose penny had turned up on its head. "What? You mean the hymn tunes and sech! Them's the mission folks what comes round every Sunday to preach and pray and sinur" he answered. "Never seen 'em or 'eard 'em beforo, miss?" asked tho other boy, with that happy solf- satisficd air so often assumed by children when the find they aro in possession of knowledge denied to their elders. "See 'ere, Jim; let's stop tossin' coppers—'taint right nohow on Sundays1—an' we'll 'scort the laidy in among the mission folks. Can ye sing laidy?" On assuring him that I could sing, he und his companion, ono on either side of me, escorted me in through tho narrow alley towards the centre of the court. There I found It wider than at the entrance, so wide that it was possible to stand six or seven abreast. Three-storey buildings wero on the three sides of the court, and fromv every window there peered several faces. There were men in their shirt sleeves, smoking pipes, one! men with aprons tied round their necks. They had stopped in the middle of their Sunday shave, with hands holding a razor suspended in midair. There were women with plaid shawls crossed upon their bosoms. their hair in knots which had apparently not been untwisted since tho preceding Sunday; and there were children of all apes and both sexes, garbed in the simplest and scantiest of summer raiment, sitting and standing by the open windows and doors, all Intent on listening.—Quiver. Dr. There nre some men who alwsys Ira- press ono as having been the kind of hs- blot tlm' hnd to take worm lozenges.— Atchison Globe. I'al.l (lss, ISUIsssp'rs I'nrr. Carpenter, the Bishop of ill- pon, is one of tho most popular clergymen in England, lie is a man whose natural impulse must bo to throw off his coat and work in his shirt sleeves. "I never address the Queen at all," he told fomebody who asked him if he felt nervous when preaching before Queen Victoria. "I know that there will be present the Queen, the princes, the household and tho servants down to the scullery maid." Dr. Carpenter is not ashamed to ride in a bus nnd has often told the story r,f a penny ride from Westminster to Charing Cross. When the ticket collector came round, the bishop found, to his astonishment, that he had not a penny in his pocket, and neither had his wife, who was with him. Dr. Carpenter mado up his mind to borrow the money when ho alighted at Charing Cross, but before ho reached his destination a workingman with a bag of tools thrown over his shoulder turned to him as ho left the bus and said: "Don't you bother at.out that. . I've mado that all right." Almost beforo the bishop could say "Thank you" the man with the bag was gone, and Dr. Carpenter found that he had paid his faro nnd that of his wife to the end of tho journey. A Comical Blunder. One of tho most ludicrous mistakes made by tho telegraph was caused by the loss of a single dot in a telegram from Brisbane to a London nows agency. As it reached London it read, "Governor-General twins first son," which tho news agency "edited" and sent around to tho psi- pers in the following form: "Lu.iy Kennedy, tho wife of Sir Arthur Kennedy, Governor-General of Queensland, yesterday gave birth at Government House, Brisbane, to twins, tho firstborn boing a son." The telegram arriving in the small hours of the morning, thcro was no time to check it or refer to Dobrott, and it was published by most of tho newspapers in London and tho provinces and caused an unexpected sensation. Sir Arthur's friends pointed out with conclusive force that some ono had blundered, as there nover was a Lady Kennedy, Sir Arthur being a bachelor. The repeat message which followed road: "Governor-General turns first sod," reforrlng to a railway Ceremony. London'! Witt? Cabblss*.

A TALE OF TWO TICKETS. rheir Owner Cove niniself ft Lot Ol tllllSTS'KMISl'J Tl'OlilslC. Horace Turner nnd the huly whom he tailed an angel, years ago, moved out to Eviu.ston nbout the 1st of .Tune for the summer. Mr. Turner bought a railroad commutation ticket for tho purpose of saving money. There were 00 rides on tbe ticket, which cost him $0. "I won't use all theso rides." he explained to his wife, "but I'll come pretty near it—near enough to bring the fare dowu to 11 or 12 cents a ride auyway. You see, if we go into the city to the theater or if I have to go in ou Sunday I can uso my commutation ticket, and h*:'" be just the snmo as it I rode free." That was reasonable enough, but Mr. Turner didn't happen to go into the city at night or on Sundny during June, and the consequence was that bo had about a dozen rides left on his ticket when ths month was ended. But he didn't mind thnt. He felt that he was ahead of tho game anyway, and he went up to thc station ou tbo 1st of July ond bought another monthly ticket, promising himself to even things up by doing more extra riding on Sunday nnd at night. Meanwhile he kept his old ticket iu his pocket, having forgotten nil about it. One day when thn weather changed he put on a heavier^suit of clothes. When he wns riding into tho city the next morning, he handed out h!s ticket to be punched and kept on reading his paper ai he did so. "This Is last mouth's ticket," the conductor informed him. "It's no good." Then Mr. Turner looked nnd saw that It was so. He felt for his July ticket, but couldn't find it. Evidently ho had Gshed the wrong ono from his pocket when ho had changed his clothes.' He tried to convince tho conductor that ha was an honest man and would permit bis sood ticket to be punched twice next time, but it was a useless effort. If he had been a pretty young woman, his plea might have counted for something. As it was, tbe rules had to be observed. So he paid the full cash fare, rammed his old ticket Into bis pocket and told several passengers who sat near him what robbers the railroad companies were. He happened to think of his ticket beforo he left home the next morning nnd rode into the city without any trouble. During the day he had occasion to rummage in his coat pocket for a letter and while doing so fished out a railrond ticket "There's that confounded old Juno ticket again," he snid. "I'll just tear it up, so that I won't make another mis'.iikt when I change my clothes again.*' He ripped it into littlo bits without looking nt it n itasand time nnd forgot it until he wns going home at night When tho conductor came along, Mr. Turner Unnded out his ticket and looked at the headlines In his pnper. "This is no good," said the man with the punch; "last mouth's." Horace Turner looked. There was prima facie evidence that be was unable to shatter. Then he puid his fare again snd made a mileum vow that he would never buy another commutation ticket at long as he lived.—Chicago Horard-Herald. It did not take uinny years to find out tbat lt was more profitable to pasture the grass around me than to burn It In the fall. This pasturing of tbe grass was done so successfully that none wns left to burn or to pasture. Finally 1 waa compelled to break up tbe land and farm lt I raised large crops of ■mall grain, but soon saw tbat It was a money losing game and tried to seed my land back to grass. I found It very difficult to get tame pastures to stick, and If by accident I got a good stand of timothy or clover the latter would not last, and tbe former after a good crop or two would get wbat i -nlled sod bound and would not produc. a load of hay to tbe acre. 1 know uow why the timothy did no good after a year or two. It was because we pastured It to the roots, thinking it economical to let stock eat tbe Inst spear of grass that showed up In tbe fall. Land having by that time advanced In price, I could not afford to own pastures of tbat kind, and so I overstocked it to make both ends meet 1 made up my mind to own less and better stock, and this change In no time mado a great Improvement In my pastures. 1 soon saw tbat a growth of grass covered the pastures In dry weather when all the range In abort pastures waa burned.

Wasted muscles, shattered nerves and failing strength may result from old age as well as from disease. As old age creeps on vitality is lowered, the heart beats more slowly, the blood becomes thin and watery and the power of resistance is lessened. It is thc old people above all others who require the new life and energy which comes with the use of Ur. Chase's Nerve Food. Scores and hundreds of old people depend on Dr. Chase''* Nerve Food to restore their exhausted nerve force and replace their wasted tissues. It calms and quiets the nerves, gradually and certainly enriches the blood and builds up the system, and makes old people feel again the thrill of new life and vigor in their shrivelled arteries.

Babies (;ry because they aro sick or In pain, and iu almost every case the sickness or pain is caused by some disorder of the stomach or bowels. Fermentation and -decomposition of the food produce a host of Infantile troubles, such as griping, colic, constipation, diarrhoea, simple fever, indigestion, etc. Proper digestion of thu food is necessary to tho maintenance of life, and evacuation of used up products and refuse of digestion is necessary to health. The lesson to mothers Is, therefore, that the stomach and bowels should be carefully watched, and if baby cries, or Is fretful or cross, some simple vegetable remedy, should be given. Mothers should never resort to the so-called "soothing" preparations to quiet baby, as they invaria- ably contain stupifying opiates. Baby's Own Tablets will be found an ideal medicine. They gently move the bowels, aid ingestion, and promote sound, healthy sleep, thus bringinK happlnese to both mother and child. They aro guaranteed to contain no poisoning "soothing" stuff, and may be given with absolute safety (dissolved in water, if necessary) to children of all ages from earliest infancy, with an assurance that they will promptly cure all their minor ailments. For the benefit of other mothers, Mrs. Alex. Lafave, Copper Cliff. Ont.. says: "I would advise all mothers to keep Baby's Own Tablets in the house at all times. When I began giving them to my baby he was badly constipated, and always cross. He Is now four months old, has not been troubled with constipation since I gave Him tho Tablets, and ho is now always huppy and good natured. Mothers with cross children will easily appreciate such a change. 1 enclose .r>0 cents for two more boxes of the Tablets, and will never be without them in the house while I have children." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by druggists or will be sent by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box, by addressing tho Br. Williams' Medicine Co., Dept. T„ Brockville, Ont.

It will be a long time before the alio becomes common among ordinary farmers, says J. A. Milne ln Tbe Breeder's Gazette. Tbe large first exist, extra force of men and great power required to fill it and some uncertainty aa to result are all arguments against It The small fanner Is naturally conservative and slow to adopt Innovations. I bave a plan, simple, practical end tested by the experience of several years, which, while 1 do not claim It ia superior to tbe silo, will perhaps recommend Itself by those very qualities. Tbe plan Is this: Drill corn as thickly as possible ln single rows 8 feet 2 Inches apart. Cut It with a corn harvester and set It np in large abocka, 20 to 25 bundles In a shock. Stack if possible after Nov. 1. If It la stacked earlier, It may heat Wben needed, it Is passed through a feed cutter ran by horse power and bandied by my own help. There are a great many nnbblna ou the stalks, and altogether tbls makes tbe best and cheapest feed I have yet found. This season my fodder, part of it stacked in November nnd part of It drawn from tbe shock inly lii.,t week. Is ln excellent condl- lon, and my 40 milk cows are doing llccly with no other roughness. Any ne can try this plan without extra ex- iem.e or n radical change of vhlch 13 not true nf tbe silo. m CANADIAN NORTHERN RY. CC !

Warts are curious things. They come and go mysteriously, although their going Is frequently marked by exasperating delays, and there ore almost as many Infallible cures as tbere are warts, the only trouble with these cures being that they are useless when applied to the particular wart you happen to have. Tbey are only good for other people's. "In my opinion,' said a clubman who was discussing tbe subject with a friend one day, "a wart Is merely the outward correspondence of some mental excrescence. Get rid of that, and tt goes away. "Lot me give yon a bit of my own experience," he continued. "Last year 1 went to Europe. For about three years I bad bad a wart on my little Anger, on which I bad tried everything I Could hear of, but without effect It only grew larger. "Well, ln the excitement of preparing for tbe trip and of the journey itself I forgot all about my wart, and wben I looked for It about bIx weeks later It hnd vanished without leaving the slightest murk. I simply forgot It, and It bad no mental condition to feed on. 1 see you have one on the back of your hand. Forget all about It for a few weeks, and It will go away of Itself." "Yes," said the other clubman, shrugging his shoulders, "but 1 can't afford to lake a trip to Europe for the sake of curing one wart." Sewlnar Done by Anta. Ants are credited with so many mar- velous accomplishments tbat a new one must be remarknble to .ae noteworthy. Mr. E. G. Green of Ceylon, nn authority upon Insect habits, hns. however, made an observation wblcb Is well worth putting on record. He has watched red ants holding grubs In their mouths and using thc web they spin to repair a rent In their nest. Some leaves which had been fastened together by the ants were separated by Mr. Green, and In a short time nfter be saw small white grabs being passed backward and forward across tbe gap. Closer observation showed that each grub was held In the jaws of one of the worker ants, and Its movements were directed as required. A continuous thread of silk Issued from tbe mouth of each grub and wns used by the ants to sew up the rent In their shelter. There were no grubs In the neighbor hood, and those used were obtained from a nest at some distance. This deliberate use of a naturally formed web as a sewing thread Is as astonishing aa any Instance of the Intelligence of ants yet observed.

Heavens, what a mess provincial .politics are in; and every day only thickens it. No longer is it Dunsmuir, but Martin, and the struggle . of 1900 is all to be gone over again. Dunsmuir has flouted his friends and capitulated to the opposition. Press and politician are united against the government, which is certain of collapse. 'Tis a sweet revenge for Joe after his overwhelming defeat of a year ago. ___________ Mayor York was emphatic in his remarks about tho council chamber on Tuesday night. For a fact the .place is not cheerful in appearance or equipment, and the dads should . take a tumble to themselves and get it fixed up. No ratepayer will grumble over a few dollars' extra outlay for, that purpose, as the citizens want to see things clone decently and in order. To use Oom Paul's words, "Humanity would be staggered" were Clerk Foley found dead from exposure some day while at his postofdutv. There is more or less dignity attaching to the position of an alderman in Slocan, and the casket should be made worthy of the jewel. Must have that city hall polished up or we'uns will all move over to Mulvevtown. It is a fright the amount of money . annually sent to eastern houses from this place, and,in the main, for goods . that could bo purchased in the local stores. Itorty thousand dollars is not too large an estimate of the money . sent each year from Slocan to Timothy Eatijn and other departmental institutions. Think what that means .to the'progress of the burg. The Toronto house is rightly named, for it Is Eaton up the vitality of this and otter B.C. towns. The eastern stores .will not sell on jawbone, while local men aro expected to do so. All lines of business arc fairly well represent ,ed here und there is no just excuse why folks sliould enrich other towns nt the expense of thoir own. Peo .pie will growl at the situation and say it is a shame—but many will continue to patronize Timothy. The attempted assassination of •President McKinley at Buffalo, last ,week, was the work of a dastard, in that tbe crime was committed while the victim was extending the hand , of friendship. Anarchism breeds a peculiar class of creatures, filled to their uppor levels with fanaticism, violence and the lust for blood. The United States in this, and other crimes, is reaping the bitter fruits of un emigration policy that fillf-d her borders with tho dregs of socletv from continental Europe. Happily, in this instance, tho victim of anar chistic plot will recover from his wounds und soon will be at his ac .customed post at the head of a "nighty nation. Britishers everywhere unite with their Yankee kins men in expressions of thankfulness ^nt President McKinley's miraculous .escape from a violent death. F. (I. Fauquier, the defaulting government agent at Rfvelstoke, was last week committed for trial on two charges of theft, ono for land sales amounting to $2097 in 1900, and the other for $811 taxes collected in 1901. 'Tho charges of misappropriation while recorder at Nakusp were not ,brought upnt this trial. DRILL POINTS. Snow fell in the Arlington basin Thursday.
