Kditoii Drill: Sir,--A preliminary meeting, with the object of forming a British Columbia Association for the prevention aad cure of tuberculosis, hns lieen held. A constitution and bylaws arc drawn up aad will bo submitted to a fceueral uaoetiug to be held in Victoria on Jan. 20th. Th- public generally are invited to stt-nil this meeting, but I am in.-atrueli'd to make a particular appcil to your section to send a delegate; and fur'.her, ta) ask you to take meai s to a.te that ".our local member lc ;s .ed to attend as a delegate from your district. I need hattllj point out how urgent this great question is, and when 1 remind you tint Canada loses 8000, the United States 100,000, and the whole world 2,000,0(K) humau lives every yeir from tuberculosis, I think you will admit it is time something should be done, especially in view of the now established fact that consumption is preventiblo and curable. As you no doubt know, there is ab solutoly nothing being done in British Columbia to either prevent the spread of this disease or a-i-ist those already afflicted with it. Not only is it a fact that tliere is no .special institution for those who could be assist<*d, but the ordinary hospitals close their doors to these unfortunates and leave them in despair to die unaided, with the result that they pass on their troubles not only to the members ol their own ami their neighbors' families, but the danger to the general public i.s correspondingly increased. To attempt to right thu state of affairs Is-the reason for calling this meeting. Faithfully yours, C.J.Faoas Provincial Board of Health^ ictoria, January, 11101. King, B. Dean, and T. Evans. Two other miners wero seriously injured. Several in the relief parties wero overcome with gas aud wero continually brought out of the mine for fresh air.

The C.P.R. has announced a new rate on ziuc ore, which "•■ ill afford Having disposed of tho lead question, by securing from the Ottawa government a liberal bounty per ton, the Slocan mineowners are up against another momentous proposition, i.e., what to do with their ziuc. Takon together the mines possess far more ziuc .nan lead, and the silver values com- lined are so high that it is a pressing necessity that ores shall be realized ipon. The zinc question hus become ill important during tho past year md a satisfactory solution is aiixious- ■» awiited. Many of the mineowners have beeh experimenting with treating .ne ore on tue gri)Uin.l,pai'ticuliU.y the Payne, and all aro ready to put in the necessary plant when a satisfactory process is demonstrated. .Shipping the ore to Kansas did not result as successfully as anticipated, and the mineowners are looking for other relief. Last week the mineowners met at Sandon to discuss the zinc question, having with ihem W. A. Galliher, M. P. The object of tho meeting was to determine some definite methodical t3JSatmen*t of the case as it at present exists in Kootenay. The general feeling was that thc Dominion government should lie nsked to step iu and employ an eminent expert to inquire into and report upon fully the production and treatment of zinc ores ai- :•.,idy known to exist In the province, especially in the Slocan. After a thorough discussion, thc nieeting decided to memorialize the government, asking for the appointment a world known expert to examine the zinc resources of the country and to make a report on them, and of t he best method to tie adopted in order that zinc may be produced on a -<nund commercial basis. The report should, the association thinkF,embraco 'the whole zinc question, aud go thor- .fiughly and exhaustively into ell matters appertaining to the matter of zinc mining and treatment. Mr. Galliher hcMaiily e.idorsed the idea advanced and promised to use his influence with the government to have the expert appointed. Mnrrled la Seattle.

A public meeting w«v- held in the Music Hall on Wednesday night, for the purpose of discussing municipal matters. Nearly every man in town attended, besides a number of ladies and boys. Acting Mayor Smith presided and made n short speech, followed, among others, by T. McNeish, D. Arnot, A. ES. Teeter, and W. E. Worden. As the aldermen had all been elected by acclamation, the chief Interest centred in the remarks of the. rival candidates for tho mayoralty, Messrs. McNeish and Arnot. The main issue was the waterworks question, the former deprecating any effort of the town putting in a plant, and advocating company installation; Mr. Arnot held forth for civic installation and control. The proceedings were not quite as breezy as anticipated.and the fuu ended at 10 o'clock. Not a vote was changed by the exhibition. Na*e|m« » llalaa '■«.

"Why, what can the matter be with Dickie?" she said to herself, with an utmost irresistible impulse to turn uround and look after the melancholy liguro auuiiterliiK down the street. MUdred Jones bnd been a friend of Dlek Eton's ever since they bad played in the park aud gone to dancing school together. Two yenrs before she had married De .Peyster Jonea, aud now one of her greatest pleasurea was chaperoning Dlek and his various ladyloves. "I believe Dick's ln love again," she exclaimed, half aloud, "or perhaps thla Is the real thing at lust. I wish it were und Dickie would settle dowu." - At thc en mo moment Dick was passing n florist's. A happy thought struck hlm. '•I'll settle lt tonight," be said to himself. "I'll mnke Doris say whether she cures for me or not. If sbe won't havo me I'll, I'll"- His eyes wandered up und down the crowded avenue, brilliant in the spring sunshine. I'll do something desperate," he threatened. He went Into the shop, heavy with the fragrance of roses and vloleta, and tiled to decide what be would send her. He wns going to take her to a muslcale at Mrs. Schuyler's that evening, and us he had forgotten to ask her tho color of bei- gown he chose white roses. Going to tbe desk, be took out a visiting card and stood heal- tatlng, pen in hand. Should he leave It to the flowers or ask ber tonight at the muslcale? He remembered a particularly cozy and retired corner behind the pnlms In Mrs. Schuyler's conservatory. "No, I cannot wait until then," he thought "I'll let the flowers apeak." "SO 100 COULDN'T CAUUY THKM, DOItlS I" BE (KIEL) HOARSELY. Hastily he wrote on the card, "If you cure for me a little bit, Doris, carry lliis tonight." Then he sealed lt up and gave lt to the man. "Scud the flowers nt once to 37 West —th street," be said us be paid for them. "On no account let there be niiy delay." "Arrah, thin, 1 want some flowers, a rule llllgiint design, for me cousin, Mrs. OT-'liiunnguii, who's dade," exclaimed a voice. A large, showily ilreRsed, red faced Irish woman poshed past hlm to the counter. Dick went out of tbe shop filled with mingled feelings of doubt, uncertaluf und a great love for Doris. As he •strolled over to the club be marveled ut his own presumption ln asking such n peerless creature to come down to earth for his snko. Thnt evening while he was waiting for Doris he roamed restlessly about lhe great drawing room. When a little rustle of silken draperies announced ber cotninlng he stood like a soldier nt attention, nwaitlug bis sentence. The portieres were pushed nslde, and Doris, in a trailing white gown, stood outlined against the heavy curtulu—Doris wilh her blue eyes flashing ominously— nntl wilh empty hands. Everything seemed to spin around. "So yon couldn't carry them, Doris!" lie cried hoarsely, while bis band clasped tlio buck of the ebalr. "I don't see how you could have asked such a thing," she snld Icily, ahe was still fltnnding nnd did not make any movement to come nearer hlm. "I know It wns presumptuous," he admitted mournfully. Sbe Innghed mirthlessly. "I thought ut first lhat you meant it as u Joki*-,'' sho snld. Sho walked over to the fireplace, her long, fluffy skirt trailing be hind her on the polished floor. Tht firelight plnyed on her hair, on hn «lilte, sculptured shoulders and hei exquisite nrms. Dick thought that slit liiil never looked so beautiful, and hli I nods tightened on the carved oak chair back. "1 knew you were always playing lokei on people," she weut on, "but I never supposed you eon Id Joke about sueh a thing na this." She looked up nt hlm as he towered above her. He was a very gootl look Ing man, she admitted, with his splendid athletic build and hla well bred, clear cut features. Then she dropped her eyes to the Are again. "So you really had the impudenct to send It?" she said cruelly. Dick became a little angry. "1 may be presumptuous," he cried, "but 1 fall to seo wby you should look on lt at impudent. Because a man sends a girl flowers and shows her that he caret for ber wltb all the depths of his be- Ing you think he is Impudent" "Well, I don't en re for your taste," she exclaimed. "1 consider the wbole thing nn Insult, Mr. Eaton, and 1 do not care to bo one of tbe girls on whom you play such Jokes. I hnve a head* ache and am not going to Mrs. Schuyler's tonight. Shall I ring?" Dick gathered himself together. "Good night," be aaid coldly and met the footman at tbe door. After lunoheon tbe next day he found himself In Mildred Jones' cosy little drawing room pouring out tbe whole story Into ber sympathetic ears. "And you seut ber white roses?" she Inquired wben he had finished tbe tale. "Yes. Doris was here at luncheon, nnd •he told me all about lt. I think, my dear boy, that there has been some great mistake. Itut don't be discouraged. I will try to manage some way to help you out. Doris wus very angry, bnt I am sure ahe will forgive you." Tbere was an amused twinkle In her eyes that Dick could not understand, but he felt ber sympathy and went back to tbe clnb with a lighter heart. Perhaps an hour later be was called to tbe telephone and at onee recognized Doris' voice. "Hello! Ia that you, Dick?" abe said, and there was a joyous ring nbout lt that set Dick's heart to beating. "Did you send me white rosea yesterany?" "Yea," he cried exultantly, "white roses and maidenhair." Doris laughed. "Well. Dick, enn- you—come up this evening?" She hesitated. "If you will come 1 will—er— carry your flowers." She shut off the telephone Instantly, and Dick was left with the receiver at his ear and a beatific expression on his face. It was with different feelings from those of the nlgbt before that be stood by the Are ln Doris' drawing room that evening listening for her footstep. But so quietly she came tbat she stood between the portieres before he knew lt. Doris, beautiful aa ever, lu softest rose color and holding ln her hands- Dick, who had started forward with a gtud cry, stopped, and bis bands dropped to his side. "flood heavens. Doris! Where did you get that awful thing?" be exclaimed. Doris, with a merry laugh, held up a hideous form of red and white immortelles with stiff, red roses wired .on toothpicks, spelling out the word "Hope." "Your flowers." she explained. "Oood Lord!" be gasped. "Doris, you didn't tblnk I sent you that monstrosity, did you? Wbere are my rosea?" Tben his face cleared. "It was that miserable Irish woman!" he cried. "She came In as I went out to order some flowers for a funeral, and that stupid florist got tbe cards and addresses mixed." "Never mind, Dick," abe said, looking at blm coquettisbly. "You don't seem to realize tbat I am carrying your flowers." But tbe last word was almost lost hs Dick crushed ber In his arms, the "llltgant design" and all. LET ME FOrboET.

Mr. Livingstone, wbo, like ninny other tourists, liked to eat his cake and linve it, to travel abroad and bave all the comforts of his home, arose from the mhle with a frown on his brow, which was chased away hy the autics of the rjTtalnt little "mendigo." who stretched Iiis mouth wider tban ever when he received the silver piece, muttering "Mochas gradas, senor," in a voice of smothered ecstasy. "He looks just like a brown Ul" cried Evelyn, kneeling down beside him. "What is your name, child?" she asked In his owu tongue, taking his little brown band in her white one. "Benito Pardo, senorlta." "Are your parents living?" "No, senorlta." "nave yon brothers and sisters?" "No, senorlta; there is no one, just old Catallnn." "Ia she kind to yt*u?" "She beats me when I bring her no money, but sbe will not do so for a week now. She will be ovej#>yed with tbe grent amount tbe worshipful caballero has just given me." "Would you mind if you went away from her?" He grinned. "Tbere would be no oa* to bring her pennies tben." "Oh, papa," cried the impulsive younj womnn after sbe bad translated the foregoing dialogue, "bow delightful it would be to take this boy home with us! May 1 not take bim?" "May yon take him? Of course not. You nre out of your mind to think of such a tblng." "But you promised me before we left home that If I would do everything the doctor ordered you would get na- anything 1 wanted. I did follow out his directions to the letter. I am perfectly well now and will bold you to yoar word." "Listen to Ihnt, wil] you. Moiton?

Benito hntl been told by tin- padre that it was wrong to take what did nut belong to him. and do ill treatment co'ild force hlm to do so. Mr. Livingstone was n wealthy man. and Evelyn win his only child, II.- had never paid "no" tai her, or al least Itis "no" uever had required more than '.'I hours to change itself to "yes." .Hut ihi. last vibini was beyond the bounds of reason, and Mr. Livingstone looked linn when his daughter broached the mthject over their coffee ainl rolls the next morning.

"An honest, respectable American clti- r.en." This wos a clincher, nnd she knew It. Her fnther was almost "spread eagle" lu his patriotism. "Think what n nuisance he will be on tlie remainder of our trip." "Not nt all," she responded serenely. "At the hotels we can ulways pny a servant to look after him, nnd on shipboard we can put him in charge of the steward." The result of this conversation was n visit to old Catnlinn, who readily agreed to part with tbe boy for three goldplecea with the little king's bead on ihem. She diil not kiss Benito, but she did kiss the - goldpieces with tears in her eyes, for she never had seen so much wealth in one heap. Lawrence Morton had requested the honor of buying for Benito his Hist suit of new clothes nnd disappeared with tne youngster, bringing blm back clean anil well dressed, He had also bought him some sweets, n delicacy hitherto only to be ga-sed at and longed for. l-'rom that moment Benito was ready to die for bis new friend. The senorlta was in the parlor alone when they returned to the hotel. When she saw Benito's changed appearance, •jalie was so plenaed she held up bor face and allowed Mr. Morton to kiss her on the lips, afler which she blushed and glanced apprehensively at Benito, who wus glad to have beeu the means of procuring for bis friend a reward so sweet. The boy soon learned to innUe himself useful. He could carry packages and run errands and cotiM be trusted to mnke small purchases. I'or Mr. Livingstone be entertained a reverence mixed with awe, but Evelyn anil Lawrence he worshiped, following them about liko a faithful dog, delighted if they nskcil him to do them n favor. One afternoon at Gibraltar the young couple went up tbe winding road for a w.ilk, taking the boy with them. He soon noticed that something was wrong. They dial not smile ami lavak Into each other's eyes as (hey were wont to do, they spoke little, aud their voices wero cold. Near the lop of tbe rock tbey stopped, and the senorlta slipped a beautiful sparkling ring from her finger nnd laid it in the baud of Mr, Morton. Benito wondered why .-he sliaaitlii give him a present tvheh she seem- cil angry witb him, Mr. Morton liebl the jewel iu his hand for n moment ami then sent it spinning, a Hash of lighl ihrough the air, dowu toward the sea. Then lhe young man walked nway without a word, sin! the gill, alter holding hor head high nntil he was out of sight, sank to the ground, sobbing its if hor henrt would break. Late that Stterhoon a big black ship rnine along, anil Mi. Morton went uway iu her, and Benito wept sorely, for Mr. Moiton lived in a city with a long name, anal be never expected to see bim again. Evelyn found bim crying and cried with bim. "Vou lijve him, ta»o, do ya.u uut, leno* rila?" asked the boy. "Yes." Then she gave two little dubs at her eyes with her handkerchief and saiil he must not speak of Mr. Morton to her again. Ills life in his new home in Chicago was a drenm of delight to tbe little Spaniard, but he lived with one object in view, and that was to be able some time to write n letter to Lawrence Morton. In the course of time he learned to read and speak English after a fashion, but his fingers were clumsy when he tricil lo write. Being sent to tbe office one day. be observed n typewriting machine,. which was nn object of wonder ami a.l- miration to him. Hi-re was something which would write for you and which you could use without being puxzlrd about thp tails of those vexation! 'i's and g's. He would make it write to Mr. Morton. Tlie stenographer good naturedly explained lis mysteries, and after many trials Benito succeeded In writing Iho following letter: dear frl.:n.hniMorion 1 AM aleii-int; uf yout AniaMlldaal to write but yaaii Will beglad wen yon KNow the Senorlta I-oven yoU.

Then Benito, with the pride of one who has ne- complished a great feat, dropped It down the shoot. A few nights after this he was Fcnt for to come to the parlor to see Mr. Morton. Benito beamed with delight nt tlie sight Of bis friend, who tolil him bis letter wns oue of Ihe most delightful be* had ever received. Evelyn hugged ths boy nnd suid: "Benito, we are cadi of ns going to buy yon sotm-iliing lovely tomorrow, I don't know what it will be, but it will I e gorgeous— anything ynu want, in fact."

ANIMAL SURGERY. Wild Beasts Are WUe In Medlrlnn aud Basil? Heal Themselves.

"If tbey heal animals, tbey will nlso beal men," Is bla Invincible argument Others may huvo dipped deep Into Indian history nntl folklore and learned that many of the herbs used by the American tribes, ninl especially the cures for rheumatism, dysentery, fever nnd snake bites, were learned direct from the animals by noting the rheumatic old bear grub for fern roots or bathe In tbe hot mud of u sulphur spring and by watching with eager eyea wbat plants tho wild creu- tures ate when bitten by rattlers or wasted by the fever.

THE END OF NIAGARA, Connnmpllon. 1 Tulnonary tuberculosis Is not A con- taglous, but ouly a communicable disease. The contact per se of the coo- 'Eiimptlve Individual does not convey I the disease. It Is now well known that j lt Is mainly the tuberculosis expectora- : tion. which, when dried and pulverised to dust, constitutes the main danger of I Infection. The means to prevent Infec- , tion from tuberculosis cxpectorntlon or ; saliva—expectorating only In proper I vessels, spittoons nnd pocket flasks, ' proper nse of handkerchiefs during ' coughing, etc.—are now also universally taught. lt Is absolutely demonstrated that a tuberculosis patient. If he lakes proper care of bis expectoration, does not constitute any danger to his fellow men. In sanatoria and hospitals exclusively devoted to tbe care of consumptives It Is of tho rarest occurrence for nn attendant to contract tbe disease, the hygienic precautions being so thorough, lt may Indeed be said tbnt In these houses for consumptives one la less liable to contract consumption tban outside of them.—Pr.

This will continue for o i-crlod of from 1,800 to 2,000 years. The entire flow to tbe north will cense, nnd the river will flow back Into Lake Erie, leaving thc escarpment dry nt a point not very far south of Goat Islnnd und witb s height of nbout 100 feet.

But apart from tbls little band of devout worsblpcrd at the Bhrlne of learning tlie British mu- Boum seems to me quite dead—na dead as a door nail. 1 have lieen tliere many a time, nnd I went there again and walked through long nnd silent galleries peopled only by iho gods of Egypt. ludla, China, of aiu'ient Greece and Koine nnd thronged only by (hose wonderful works of sculpture wrought by cunning hands long crumbled Into lhe dust of past ages, hut whose spirit of beauty nmi reverence still lingers ln these heroes and heroines of old renown. Id some of the rooms one may see n few nursemaids relieving the tedium of their dally walk through Bloomsbiiry by bringing llieir little charges to the museum, where they may amuse themselves nnd get muterlHl for bad dreams while the nurses themselves have a quiet gossip. In the holiday season also one may see troops of Americans passing swiftly through the galleries, "doing" the mu setiKi with wonderful dispatch nnd commenting with western levity upon the relics of ninieiif civilization und the hones of prehistoric men. But the Londoner does not come. The time that he can spare from lunch hour lie devotes to n walk up Clipapside, the Strand or llolboiu. "lo look at the shops." The day's work doue, he takes the first train home. On a Saturday afternoon he prefers 11 matinee, a game of tennis or cricket or 11 few hours on the river. I do tint liliime hlm altogether, hut the fact remains that the British museutn ia to him an nbode of tbe death which be regards with the same repugnance as a tomb. FARMER IN WINTER TIME. Steady Job* Area Feeding: the Stoek and Keeping Warm. The great steady winter Jobs on an American farm in the north nowadays are feeding tho stock and keeping warm. And keeping warm nowadays means hauling coal. When I lived in the Country, it mennt cutting wood. It meant for our large family constant learning day ufttr duy from the woods to the wood yard nnd a wood pile that must have covered a quarter of an acre. It meant toward spring tho coming of men wltb a horse power oud buzz saw to cut firewood, and that was almo-st ns interesting on operntlon as thrashing. There were other stirring days when the lake bad frozen bard and the icehouse was filled. Involving Ire cutting and more teaming and more precarious bltchlug on behind loads and going back ln empties. And early lu tbe winter there was the momentous nnd gory killing of pigs. Oh. that was indeed a stirring time! They kill n pig every sccoud, no doubt. In Chicago nowadays, but that Is mere mechanical routine, witb do quality of sport ln lt. There was uotblng so very slow about the country winter in days as late as the civil war. I suppose soap- uniking ns a domestic Industry Is .is dead as household spinning. In those times of wood flies and wood ashes nil self respecting families made soap. Our family had nn outstanding kitchen expressly for that use, with a big cistern-like hogshead behind It ln which ashes were leached nnd convouient .*ubs for holding the soft soap. A very handsome substance is soft soap of the proper consistency and complexion, and n pleasing exercise It used to be for tbe young to stir It wltb n stick nnd watch Its undulations. All tbe superfluous fat of meat from our kitchen was turned Into soft soap in those nearby old times. The Iladscr's Digging Ability. The sportsman naturalist, SH. Jolin, one day found a badger in a trap not much Injured. Tying a rope to Its hind log, he drove tbe animal home—stranue to say, tbe captive beast jogging steadily along In front of him and giving little more trouble than a pig going to market. On reaching houie thc nuima) was put for the night Into a paved court, where It seemed perfectly secure. ".Next momlng," said St. John, "he wns gone, having displaced a stoue that I thought him quite Incapable of moving, nnd then, digging uuder thc wall, he got uway." An Inrnlnnble Aid.

KDITOIUAL CKOFPINUS* Liberal Delegate Roy, from TCoss- .land, says Nominee Galliher's actions ou tho lead question embarrassed the Laurier government, and that he did not support the Liberal cause and party. What, mutiny already! .*(*»,was expected W. A. Galliher has again been nominated by the Lilierals to contest Kootenay for the Dominion house. His opponent on the Conservative ticket-is Hon. Charles Mackintosh, aud the fight between the two 'will be a dandy, but the Tory champion will surely win. Bill is already appealing to Chris Foley's followers for help. ___________ Bennett, flrtjo mado the run on the Socialist ticket in the Revelstoko riding in the provincial contest,is spoken of as that party's nominee to contest Kootenay for the Dominion house. The Socialists will show strength in Revelstoke, Ferguson, the Slocaa,Nel- son, Rossland, Moyie, Cranbrook and Fernie. If their nominee is endorsed by the Labor unions, then the old parties had better prepare for trouble, especially the Liberals. Victoria has suffered much loss of life in recent years by a series of appalling disasters, principally by the destruction of reputed staunch and seaworthy vessels. Saturday's disaster, when the steamer Clallam, plying betweeu Seattle and Victoria, foundered in a fierce gale amil drowned upwards of fifty persons, proved a most crushing blow, because of the loss of so many notables. It was at first thought that Hon. R. F. Green, of Kaslo, and other members of the legislature, were among those who perished, but, thankful to say, the report proved untrue. British Columbia sympathizes with the stricken families. "The best laid plans of meu and mice aft gang aglee" is au axiom peculiarly befitting the situation in which the Liberal leaders find themselves. Had the much-boomed Grand .Tnink Pacific road beeu able to de- >posit their$5,000,000guarantee within the specified time, there ia no doubt the Dominion elections would now be on. But tho funds have not been forthcoming and every day's delay is lessening the Grit chances of success, as popular enthusiasm is fast cooling. Mackenzie & Mann's statement also, that they .purpose Constructing the Canadian Northern through to the Pacific, aud so give a third tnmscon- tineutal line to the Dominion, has proven a serious setback to the government's pet scheme. The Canadian Northern will not only be in running shape long before the Grand Trunk Pacific, but the owners thereof are seeking no guarantee of bonds from the government, nor do they want tlio government to build any portion of their line. Those facts are playing havoc with Grit contentions anent the G.T.P. and the loaders are lyeing hard pressed for campaign ammunition, and until sucli can lie manufactured the date of the election will hardly be set. Another potent elemeut of disturbance to the Grits is the tarilT,upon which their policy has been anything but consistent. Elected us free traders, they have, to keep in with public opinion, continued along the lines of pronounced protection, and thoy dare not recede from that position. The manufacturing interests of Canada are unanimous fora larger measure of protection, nnd to gain tho support of that class the Grits must meet their desires. They cannot do this without fomenting much trouble in their own ranks. On the other hand, the Con servatives stand with undivided ranks upon a clean-cut policy of protection, with no fringes. Their motto is, Canada for the Canadians, and their aim is to see stamped ou ali arlicles used jn tho country, "Made in Canada." DRILL POINTS. Pay up your subscription.
