Aid Smith, for the board of works, reported that an effort was being made to repair the Springer creek bridge. Aid.

McCallum said the council had decided to repair the Delaney ave bridge, but' to leave the up] bridge until after high water, they could take that matter ap. The repairs to the Delaney ave bridge would be temporary, enabling teams to cross over. The council agreed that the bridge should bu repaired by tlie board of works as good as the funds available would permit, A discussion arose over the necessity sif bringing in a bylaw eonnrin- •*^r**J*av*f-tao appointment of a city cleric, the nis-ini'iT** being somewhat hazv v i tlie subject Mutter left over for a week.

Letters have been received during the week from Jee Law and Jack Clarke, two of the Slocan boys who went with the Canadian Mounted Rifles to South Africa. Both were in the terrible battle at Hart's river on March 31, but fortunately escaped unhurt. Law's letter, received hy Mr. and Mrs. B.

We travelled about 15 miles, when our advance guards got sight of tbe Beer convoy and gave chase, but they got away. Then we started to camp right there, thinking that they had gone.

Wn were nothing slow ourselves, aa we had some guns with us, and there was a continual Arc for two hour*), when the Boers retreated. But it was not without heavy loss on their side, as one ofthe Boer doctors camo into our camp for bandages. He said they had lost more men in that battle than they had in any other.

Among the visitors in the city on Wednesday was W. B. Strathearn, manager for the syndicate which has recently acquired Hill Bros', sawmill at the head ef the lake. The syndicate is composed mainly of Orillia, Ont, men, and is headed bv Chew Bros., of Midland. They mean business and will operate largely, exporting mainly to the prairie markets. They have staked nine limits of tine timber at the head of Wilson creek and they are desirous of securing more. If the Evans creek limits were moro accessible, Slocan would stand a show of being made the headquarters of tiie syndicate. As it is, they hope to do considerable business here and with the mines. canadian answbkbd. Editor Dkiix: Sir,—In a letter over the signature of Canadian in today's Issue, objections are raised against the Provincial Progressive Party on general principles, from which the following samples might be culled and collected: "Idealistic but Impossible 'ads," "No room for a third party," "aHe** grafters," "Socialtotle and Labor combination springing from an alien graft," etc. The a neve and some hazy nation of "patriotic' predilection seem to be all we can expect frem Canadian, even after directing some little attention to the subject. But he certainly could have given ns the above array of generalities without the extra trouble lYcoBslderation. Wbat we would Ilka to kn«w is* 1. What particular plank or planks in the platform are idealistic and Impracticable? 2. In view of the wholesale alienation of the public resources the continual refust-.l of tha present parties to protect *thc white producer frem the Oriental scourge, failure to carry out party pledges, etc., how csn he satisfy himself that there is no room for a third party? 3. What have the alien grafters got te do with the Provincial Progressive' Party or platform? 4. In conclusion, weald it not be well fer our pseudo Canadian to let us know if true patriotism does net consist in loyalty to heme and country, so as to be guided in improving the condition of the pee pie, protecting our homes by wise and just laws in order that happiness and prosperity would prevail among the masses rather than the parrot crv of alien grafter!.Socialism (labor organization 1 whenever n patriotic move-, ment is on foot to protect the public against tbe real grafter who profits by.class legislation? Whilst always ready to acknowledge room fer improvement in the Progressive Party and platform, we not only deny all of Canadian's allegations, but we challenge him to prove them. The Provincial Progressive platferm is an embodiment of the crystallized thought and highest intelligence of all the organized labor and reform bed ies in the province of British Columbia—a sublime protest against corrupt class legislation and, as such, is entitled to fair and honest criticism, equally valuable to tbe voter and the legislator. By way of preparation, however, some slight knowledge of tbe.facts will be necessary, which, If accompanied with an honest desire to draw just conclusions, would, in the case of Canadian, probably save us all from theory of Wolff Wolf I wben there is no wolf.

There being no call for an •exodus up the lake this year, Slocan had a celebration nil her own on tho 24th, and It was the more enjoyable for having been gotten up in a hurry. In the after noon the rifle club held a shoot, the young men played lacrosse and football, and the juveniles held nn innings on Main street. Tbey had all kinds of sport, and the fun derived not only pleased them but amused their elders, in the evening some liberal handed spirits purchased sweetmeats and gave the kids a general scramble, so rounding out for them an enjuvable holiday.

CHAPTER IIL GREAT NEWS FOR LYSTt. N the evening of the day I before I was to sail Captain Crowle and I were walking through tbe narrow street tbey call State lane Into tbe great market plnce. where stands thr Crown Inn. The room nppropi'tHtcd tn tbe Society of Lynn, whl< h met ever", evening all Hie year round, was Hun an the ground floor looking npon tbe market place. The society or club, which ts never dissolved, consists of the notables or better sort of tbe town, tbe vicar of St Margaret's, pie curate of St. Nicholas', tbe master of tbe school, my own father, Captain Crowle and otber retired captains, tbe doctor, some of tbe more substantial merchants, wltb tbe mayor, some of tbe aldermen, tbe town clerk and a Justice of tbe peace or two. Tbis evening most of these gentlemen were already present Captain Crowle saluted the company aud took bis seat at the bead of the table. "Gentlemen," be said, "1 wish you all a pleasant evening. I hnve brought wltb me my young friend. Jack Pentecrosse—you nil know Jack- the worthy son of his worthy father. He will take a glass wltb us. Sit dowu beside me, Jack." "With the permission of the society," I said. Most of tbe gentlemen had already before tbem their pipes and their tobacco. Some bad ordered their drink— a pint of port for one, a Brown George full of old ale for another, a flask of canary for a third, and so on. But the captain, looking round tbe room, beckoned to tbe girl who waited. "Jenny," be said, "nobody calls for anything tonight except myself. Gentlemen, It must be a bowl or balf a dozen bowls. Tell your mistress, Jenny, a bowl of tbe biggest and tbe strongest and the sweetest Gentlemen, you will drink with tne to tbe next voyage of tbe Lady of Lynn." But then a thing happened. News came wblcb drove all thoughts of the Lady of Lynn out of everybody's mind. Tbat toast was forgotten. Tbe news was brought by tbe doctor, wbo was the last to arrive. Doctor Worship was a person who '""ibltually carried himself wltb dignity. "Gentlemen." Tbo doctor laid his hat upon the table and bis cane bsv sldo It. Tben be took bis chair, adjusted bts wig. put on bis spectacles, and tben, laying his bsnd upon the arms of tbe chair, be once more look ed around tbe room, and all tbis in the most Important dignified, provoking. Interesting manner possible. "Gentlemen, I bave news for you."v Captain Crowle made answer, speak Ing In tbe name of tbe society. "Sir. we await your pleasure." "My news, gentlemen, Is of a startling character. I will epitomise or abbreviate It In a word, therefore, we are ell about to become rich. All you wbo bave houses or property lu tbls town, sll wbo are concerned In tbe trade of the town, sll wbo direct tbe Industries of the people or take care of the health of the residents, will become, I ssy, rich." The doctor pulled out a pocketbook from which be extracted a letter. "I bave received," be went on, "a letter from a townsman, tbe young man named Samuel Semple—Samuel Semple,"' ho repeated, wltb emphasis, because a look of disappointment fell upon avery face. "Sam SempleP growled tbe captain. -"Once I broke my stick across bis back.'* He did not however, explain wby he bad done so. "1 wish I bad broken two What has Sam Semple to do wltb the prosperity of tbe town?" "Mr. Sam Semple," tbe doctor continued, wltb emphasis on the prefix, to which Indeed the poet was uot entitled In his native town, "doth not ask for help He Is not starving; be Is prosperous*.; be has gained tbe friendship or tbe patronage of certain per sons of quality. This Is the rewnrd or genius. Let us forget that be was tbe son of a custom bouse servant and let ua admit tbat be proved unequal to tbe duties, for which be was unfitted, of a clerk. He bas now risen. We will welcome one whose name will in the future add luster to our town." Tbe vicar shook his bead. 'Trash!" be murmured. "Trash!" "Well, gentlemen, I will proceed to read tbe letter." He unfolded It and began with a sonorous bum: "'Honored sir.*" He repeated the words, " 'Uonored sir.' The letter, gen tlemon. is addressed to mysvir- niicm. to myself.

Sentries bnd to be continually on the alert, for nothing would hnve given "Old Daddy" greater satisfaction tban to bave pounced on some luckless one wbo might think the midnight hours suitable for a quiet snooze. Paddy Brnnnlgnn made that mistake onco. There In the quiet moonlight he sat, all unconscious of tbe colonel's presence, his rifle laid against the tent, himself burled In slumber. Qently the rifle was lifted from Its place. But some good angel awoke Paddy In tlmt to see the colonel making bis way to the guard tent. Paddy missed his rifle at once nnd followed tbe colonel wltb thc caution of a prairie cat Outside the guard tent stood tbe wooden rack which held the rifles of the gunrd. aud Into It "Old Daddy" placed Paddy's rifle, himself entering tbs tent to call tbe sergeant In charge. This was Paddy's opportunity. He grabbed his rifle ond was back at his post In an Instant. Thc colonel brought tbe sergeant outside and ordered blm to count tbe rifles. "All correct, sir." said the sergeant "Nothing of thc sort Tbere Is an ex* tra ride there. That I am certain of, for I put It there myself." "I beg your pardon, sir, but tbe number Is quite correct." again replied tbe somewhat amased sergeant. "Come with me—come wltb me this instant, and I'll soon let you see wbat I mean." The sergeant followed his chief, wondering what was going to happen. "Haiti Who goes thero?" rang out clear and sharp in tbe nlgbt air from the now wideawake Paddy. This wss more tban "Old Daddy" bad ever dreamed of. For a moment be was paralysed. Then he marched, straight up to Paddy, gased Into hit sweetly Innocent face and, witb s "Well, I'm Mowed," turned on bis bee) end vanished.- THE BATTLE OF LIFE. Begin life where you are.

When men first begin .to become familiar wltb tbe -methods of measuring uieclmiilcul power, tliey often speculate on .where the breed of horses Is to bo found tbat can keep at work raising 33,000 pounds one foot per minute, or tbe equivalent, wblcb ia more fun-Ulnr to some mechanics, of ralalng 330 pounds 100 feet per minute. Since 33.- 000 pounds raised one foot per minute Is culled one horsepower It Is natural tbat people should think tbe engineers wbo established that unit of measurement bused It on wbat horses could really do. But the horse that can do this work doea not exist. Tbe horsepower unit waa established by James Watt about a century ago, aud (lie figures were fixed in a curious way. Watt found that tbe average horse of bla district could raise 22,000 pounds, one foot per minute. At tbat time Watt was employed.In tbe manufacture of engines, and customers were so hard to find that all kinds or artificial Inducements were necessary to Induce power users to buy steam en- pines. Aa a method of encouraging tlii'in Watt offered to sell engines reckoning 33,000 foot pounds, to a horsepower. And thus ho was the means of giving a false unit to ono of the most Important measurements ln tho world. Tbe Shape of a Olaae Bye.

Food becomes distasteful ; they suffer from severe pains in the stomach ; sometimes.excessive heart palpitation, and a general feeling of weakness and depression. Though this disease is one of the most distressing, it is one which, if the proper remedy is applied, can be readily cured. Thousands throughout this country bear testimony to the efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ns a never-failing cure. Among them is Mrs. Adolphe A. Latrousse, a well known and highly esteemed lady residing at Sorel,'Oue. ,She says:— "For two years 1 was a constant sufferer from bad digestion and its accompanying symptoms. Food became distasteful and I grew very weak. 1 suffered much from pains in stomach and head. I could not ol>- tain restful sleep and became unlit lor all housework. I tried several medicines without finding the least relief and 1 grew continually worse until in the end I would, vomit everything I ate. I had almost given up hope of ever being well again when one day T read of a case simi- ilar to mine cured through thc use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.' I determined to give these pills a trial and am happy today that I did so, as by the time I had taken eight or nine boxes my strength had returned, the pains which had so long racked *me disappeared, my stomach wcjuld digest food properly and I had fully- regained my old time health, and have not sinre had any return of the trouble." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a puro ly tonic medicine and unlike all purgatives do not weaken the system, but give life and energy with every dose. They are a certain cure for anaemia, dizziness, heart troubles, rhi'umtsitism, sciatica, indigestion, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance and the functional ailments that make the lives of so many women an almost constant source of misery.

Of nil the different kinds of fruit grown on the farm none Is so reliable or so easily grown as the grape. Dwarf pears should be planted on a spot that has a moist soil, either naturally so or made so by suhsolllng. The best shape for the garden is an oblong square. In tbls shape It can be plowed and cultivated to the best advantage. One advantage of buying trees ln the fall and heeling them In Is that thoy are on hand ready to be planted out early in the spring. One object to be gained In nny pruning Is so to reilneo lhe wood ns to equalize growth, so that the leaves and branches will not interfere witb each otber.

They, fresh from the study of church history, were laughing together ovor the old scholastic question, How many augols are supported on tbo point of a needle? They wore surprised when Dr. Koliortson turned to them and said, "Well, how mnny do you llilnkV" As no one answered he went on, with decision, "Well, I'll tell you— live."

Prlaclple Ipon Which Thle Comn-.ee"- Ity Ie Manufartnrril. The principle upon which tbe manufacture of ice is based Is that a gas when compressed gathers heat enormously, and if robbed of this boat and allowed to escape at a future time It seeks to regain Its boat by withdrawing heat from its surroundings. Ammonia gas Is generally preferred to others because it can be liquefied with [' comparatively little pressure. On removing tlie water from common ammonia by slistillatisiii anhydrous ammonia is obtained. This Is compressed by a combined steam pump and a compressor, and the resulting liquefaction Induces heat, which Is economlied by circulating water nbout the vessel or pipe containing the lli-ucllcd ammonia. Thus f.ie ammonia Is cooled aud the heat largely triinsferreil to the water, which Is then pumped back to the boiler that supplli'S the steam pump. The liquid ammonia Is then carries! In a pipe to expansion colls that afford plenty of room for Its evaporation, when It begins to return to the gasejus form and to draw heat from Its surroundings, which gradually reduces the temperature. I'ropcr vessels ot water nro placed In contact with tho expansion colls, ond In due time Ice Is formed. Lynch Latr. Lynch law In Its usual moaning is said to be traceable to a Oahvay worthy. In 1403 one James '"ItsRtcpben Lynch, a mayor of that city, sentenced his own son to detith for murder and. fearing a rescue.* had the culprit brought home and hanged before his own door. Tho tradition may be found Blinded to In Thackeray's "Irish Sketch Hook." There are critics, however. Mho say thut the law was ln Its origin essentially American, and they dato It lines to Charles Lynch, a Virginian planter of the sevontoonth century. I.nat Words or Martin Lather.

The latter accident, re .suiting from an explosion of gas last Thursday, was truly appa.liing.send- 4ng a thrill of horror through the -country. One hundred and ton human beings lost their Uvea,* majority of them being English speaking gainers, which brings the disaster pointedly nearer. Surely some better scheme for safeguarding lire can •be evolved In the working of the mines than are now ln force. Or, -can it be, that in tbe baste te acquire •wealth, tbe seversl companies are inclined to relsx that vigilance made incumbent en them even by existing laws? Too often has it been shown in this country that the opulence and (influence of companies have rendered tbe operation of the statutes abortive and ef noa-effect, resulting in human life being cheaply held and frequent .disaster.
