The pleasing information was elicited that it is the bona tide intention of the company to proceed with the completion of their milling plant here at an early date. A few (lays ago the company held their annual meeting in Orillia. when it was definitely settled to proceed with the work, several stockholders abating they had invested too much money in the concern to permit of it lying idle. A resolution was passed (it^ toe meeting authorizing Messrs. Tudhope, McPherson and Thos.

Mr. Lavallee stated plans and specifications had been prepared and details and estimates provided for the building of the big sawmill at Sloean: also the construction of B powerful tug. Both he and Mr. Tudhope gave the positive assurance that the plant would be completed at an early date.

Within 30 feet of tbe strike the management wanted to quit, but Foreman McPhee persuaded them against their will to continue sinking to tbe 600-foot level in spite of unpaid creditors clamoring on all sides and the fact that Carmichael, the backer, \, bo was putting up his last dollar ou what at the time seemed a hopeless case, was helpless in bed with the fevi r.

Barkley I VopyrtuM. ISO!,, hy T. C. McClure There wus excitement nmong the young officers ut Fort Wayne when Hicks, the little corporal who wore his cup ou the side of his head, spread the report that the girl from the oust had come uud had been escorted to Colonel Klein's house. liurlug thnt first day there was an unusual amount of promenading In Officers' row. Lieutenants, sergeants and even corporals found time to walk, la approved military style, past the colonel's quarters, and there wns one who showed signs neither of excitement nor Interest. It was Captain Roberts. He told his friend, n first lieutenant, that he wouldn't go around the corner to see twenty girls. Whereat tbe lieutenant grunted and said something about behavior iu the Philippines, • adding, with frank sarcasm: "You're a peach, you are, to pose as a woman hater after cutting uie out with the little senorlta so clenn that every fellow ln the regiment was afraid to have you see bis girl. I know you all right, old pal, and I'll bet with the rest that you take your little stroll ln the row on the heels of some big bended corporal. I passed the house myself," he owned boldly, "and I saw ber too. She's a regular beaut, Dick." But even his best friend failed to •waken the Interest of the captain. He went so far as to get Into citizen's clothes that same afternoon and leave the fort for a walk ln the river road. This, by the critical corporals, was considered stuck up. When the captain reached a sandy strip of beach a mile or more from the fort he stretched out nt full length and gazed at the wnter where freight aud passenger steamers passed ou their routes to the great lakes. His thoughts, whether they were upon commerce or navigation, were profound Indeed, for he started when he heard the rush of n woman's skirts and saw from the corner of his eye tbat a girl was approaching. He moved a little, but did not look in her direction uutll the girl stopped and snld softly: "1 beg your pardon, but Isn't this—it Isl Dick, I know it was you!" Captain Roberts sprang to his feet and looked Into the girl's flushed face "It's Margaret, Dick," she said. "Peggy." Roberts took the hand she offered. "Peggy," he said wonderingly. "Peggy, you tnke my breath away. Where did you come from?" "I'm staying at Colonel Klein's, but where did you come from?" "You, nt tbe fort?" he asked incredulously. "That's whero I live. Sit down here on tbls rock. Peggy, Peggy Adams, do you realize bow you bave surprised mo? When did you strike these parts?" "This morning." "No! Then you're the girl from the cost? They'vo been talking about you for weeks." , "How lovely of them—and yoil?" "Wby, I'm up there too." "Those clothes?" she said doubtfully. "Are 'cits,'" he finished, smiling. "I wear a uniform up there." "Oh! And what are you—what rank?' "Captain." he said briefly. "Peggy. how you have grown up." "Have I?" Bhe laughed. "And so hnve 3"ou. about two feet higher, aud you went to West Point after all?" "Yes, father insisted." "Do you like the nrmy?" "Oh, yes, when we see active service!" "Then yon have seen active service. In the Spnnlrii-Amerlcan war? Oh, tell me about It!" Roberts laughed. "I will some time." he suld. "I will tell you anything you nsk, but let's talk about you now. Where have you boen nil these years?" "School nnd college und around at places." "Tbat means traveling, I suppose, yet you never visited West Point?" "Never. I didn't know Hint you wero there, thnt you had gone back. You know you said"— "Yes, I said several things about that time. Vou haven't forgotten then?" "Forgotten? Oh. Dlek, I couldn't forget! Never! Wasn't It dreadful?" "It was rather n bad mess, but weat least I—showed remarkably ijood taste, though you weren't us beautiful then as you nre now." "I can't aiiub you for tbnt," tbe girl said, with carefully lowered lashes. "It sounds genuine. Vou nlways were thoroughly genuine, Dick," "Yes. I was In earnest then," he said, smiling. "You wero my first sweetheart." He laughed aloud. "My, how you cried when the minister re fused lo marry us! I flattered myself that you were disappointed, but It really was your pride, you poor little girl." He regarded tbe poor little girl's blushing faee with lender affection. "I think tlmt the old minister was the sweetest ninn I ever met. He knew (bat we were eloping. How gentle be was and tactful. I have nlways thought of him wltb thankfulness nkin to love." "I thought he was a regular old donkey, but It appears thnt I tun tho only one who wns lu real earnest," he snld tentatively. Peggy Inughcd. "Do you remember my high beoled boots?" sbe asked, Ignoring his remark. "Oh, don't I, though! You tripped, and I hud tbe delirious Joy of catching you In my arms. But do you remember Iww I sored money? I've roared over tuy Vainness nv.-ro than onee. Yon know I hud only $25 to my nnme. and I sold that carriages were too slow and tbat we woultl much better take a car.*' "1 had forgotten that," Peggy said, "but I remember bow fighting nmil you were when papa rushed in. You stood between him antl me and said, "t.'ir, your daughter has consented to be- cuSie iny wife!' Oh, Dick, wasn't it funny V" "Yes," he said slowly. "Sometimes it seems funny to uie and sometimes It seems strangely tragic. Tbat we were such babies Is tbe only saving fact Poor kids!" Ho sighed and turned his eyes from Hie girl's fnee. "1 suppose you're, engaged now?" he suid. ".No.", ' "How does thnt happen V* She shook her bend. "And you?' she Haiti. "Engaged? No. indeed. 1 never saw but one lovnble girl in my life." "And sbe wouldn't marry you?" "She wouldn't. There will never be another. I lost track of her." "But you didn't forget her?" the girl asked softly. "I never forgot her for n minute. But It's too lute to lind her now. She doesn't care for mo utiywtiy." "Oh, Dick; don't suy that. Any gir ought to eare for ymi. .ftist the fact that you stuy true to one woman should be enough. Don't give up and spoil It." "Will you give uie a recommendation?" he nsked, smiling. "Say that none of my relatives were banged or something like tlmt'/" "1 could say much better things. It Is beautiful that you want to lind her. I like lt, Dick. And I think tne girl will like it." Roberts looked deep Into her eyes, but be saw uo self consciousness. He forgot what he bnd rend many times, that women are clever actresses. "Your advice may be good," he said after a few moments of silence. "But what would you bavo snid yourself, Peggy, if ; had hunted you up and bad told you about caring for you? Tbe girl Is very much like you. Wbat would you have said'/" "Oh, that's silly, Dick." sl:** said quickly. "You know you wouldn't'*' She looked past Koberts nnd frowned uneasily. "It's going to rain," she murmured, "and I'm eold." "Oh, 1 suppose so," Dick said gloomily. "She'd say lhat too. That's why I didn't hunt her up." "But it's going to rain. There, I felt a drop, Dick." Roberts rose quickly and looked toward the fort. "By Jove, It Is, Peggy. I didn't notice those clouds. Here comes the wind. We'll have to stand undef* those trees till lt blows over. Put mighty 6orry that* I didn't notice it." He slipped off his coat nnd wrapped it about the girl's shoulders. "Oh, don't, Dlek," she protested. "Please. You kuow girls don't tuke cold ns easily us men. They're used to exposure." Tbey ran to a clump of trees and Roberls made tbe girl kneel by n low stone wall that ran at tbe side of tlie road. "Dick, I don't want you to stand there in the rain. Please take your coat." He smiled down at her. "What a foolish little girl It is," he said. "But I'll kneel beside you If you think It's safe." She raised hor questioning eyes to his. "I wish you would," she said. "I don't like to hnve you take such a terrible risk, and Just to protect me, when I can keep dry In this corner ns well as not." Roberts dropped to bis knees and leaned ngainst.the wall. "Peggy," ho said, "just to protect you I would give my life. Didn't you know that, dear?" There was tenderness In his tone nnd conviction. He Bpokc not passionately, but truly. Peggy locked her hands lightly together and her lips quivered, lt seemed a long time before she conld raise ber eyes. Then she met tlie earnest, questioning gaze of the man. "You may," she snld simply. "Dick, you may." The rain had ceased nnd the clouds had hurried on their way townrd tbe cast when Peggy nnd Captain Robert.*! entered Hie reservation and were met by the Jovial colonel.

THE OLD AGE MICROBE. Dr. Jtfti'linlkoff Hai Fount! It an J Ia Looking ror an Antidote l.osiln to Itlpo Old Age, Dr. Metchnikoff, the bacteriologist of the Pasteur Instituto in Paris, has discovered thc microbe of old age. lie did not make this statement in so many words, but that is whut his theory comes to. Ho expounded it at a scientific lecture on the subject of "Senility." "What is old age?" tlie lecturer usketl. lie dismissed the theory thnt senile decrepitude power in the cells of the orgunism, pointing out that, on the contrary, certain Cells, suh e.s those ofthe hair, often di.v'ie.y greator activity in old :l uu. 'live prof .'sor [Tocooded to prove that se-nflfty is e microtnian infection. It is v.ell-i.n mn that microbes aro inr from being ull Inimical to tho human hody. \,u could not, in fact, lie v.illtiiL the good oilices of tl'.o beneficial l.ncton'a, called "macro |iiiul;i," i.hich spend their own existences llgfitingi the un friendly microbes and thus prolong our dajs. But it now seems thnt the good microbe- turns Turk alter we have remhed a certain ape, and the discovery of that fnct is the foundation of Dr. MetchnikofTs theory. Tho macro; hagi in question, after helping un to live, compass our downfall und denth. Perhaps because they themselves decay they spread a slow in'ection in our system which produces senile decrepitude. Tho favorite residence of the ma* croj'hagl in human beings is the agroul inter.! inf. Dirds, in whose systems thu hitter organ is reduced to its smallest expression, live much longer than mammals. A radical remedy for tho mlcroblan malady of old age would bo the removal of tho grout intestine. Tailing that method, to which thero are obvious drawbacks, in the present state of science at all events, Dr. Metchnikoff recommends treatment by certain foods, such as curdled milk, which will introduce into the system bacteria counteracting what ho calls "our intestinal fiora." On tho other hand, raw fruit and vegetables multiply the flora iniques- tion rapidly. However, tho only real antidote to old ago will be an artificially manufactured serum which will act directly on the microbes of senility. Dr. Metchnikoff is engaged on researches to discover such a serum. When be finds it ha leads us to expect not eternal youth perhaps, hut at least a ripe old age, and only prolonged far beyond the present span of man's existence, but freo t« tho last of any senile decay.

TO STEADY STEAMSHIPS. Ingenious Soliomo to Save TrarsUrs From Soatlokaoit. To lessen the rolling of steamships In a sea an interesting dovico has been designed by Hcrr Otto Schlick, a Herman naval architect, and consists'of installing o, rapidly rotating Ily wheel in the hold of thc vessel. '1 ln« involves making use of . tho THE OTIIOICOPB. principle of thn gyroscope fatnilinr in the toy sometimes known as tho Archimedean top, whero a fly wheel whose weight is concentrated near its circumference is mounted in gimbals so that it is free to rotate iu any plane. Hcrr Schlick proposes to mount m. fly wheel carried on a vertical axis In a frame which is suspended on a horizontal axis tranverso to tho length of the vessel, the whole mc- cbunism lieing placed at the bottom of the hold. To rotate the fly wheel with thc necessury high speed electric motors or steam turbines would be employed., There would be hydraulic brakes and band brakes to restrain and regulate the, motion of the fly wheel when necessary. Tho effect of tho rapidly rotating fly wheel is to develop forces thut would oppose the oscillation of the vessel, muking it slower and reducing its extent materially. An elaborate calculation was made of the sizo antl weights of such a fly wheel, uml Ilerr Schlick has ascertained | tbat for a steamer of 0,000 metric tons (5,(105 5 F.nglish tons) a fly wheel four meters (15.12 feet) in diumelrr. weighing ten metric ton.'i (0.849 English tons) and moving with u peripheral velocity of 300 meters ttl'iC, foot) per second would hu.u a must marked olTuct.

'•Where Is he? 1 shnll kill hiiu. Nothing shall come between us." "Would you really kill hlm?" nsked the girl witbout betraying alarm. "I would." ho replied. "I have half a notion to marry yoo If you would promise to do the job afterward," she said. "Do you fear this man?" he asked, hope springing iu his heart like weeds in an onion hed. "Oh, no," she replied. "Then why should 1 kill him nfter we were married?" "I only wanted you to try, because you would never come back alive and we could have quite a start iu life on your life Insurance." THE CORSET. ■ How '-t Should He Ai.Jur.led For Co«a- rort and iifiiiiii.

Lace the lirst from the bottom up to the waist line, the second from the waist line to the top. Let the strings hang loosely until the gar-, ment Is on and booked. Then the abdomen shouhl be piessed up into pluce( by the bands, not pushed down, ns usual, and the lower siring drawn up and fastened. 'J he k***U>c of the corset holds tbe abdomen ill place. Tho upper string is left very loose nnd fastened. This permits tho lungs to be filled with air. This is the only healthful way to wear a corset, and If so worn It nets as a support to tbe organs und also, to thc clothing. I By lirst adjusting i*ud fastening the lower part, then by druwing a very deep breath while the Upper string ls entirely loose, one can te-Jl how much "slack" should he left in order to have unrestricted breathing.

There can be, of course, no certain nnd general answer to this question, since what is sought for Is the mysterious balance between safety nnd profit in business affairs which must always be a matter of delicate, Individual adjustment mid involves the uso of poisetl judgment and the possession of large experience. One certain general principle nevertheless does govern the matter. It Is this: The amount of money seeking desirable Investment Is nlways so great tbat the competition of investment for the ownership of securities of high class i.-J very acute and tends, SttVO under exceptional circumstances, to bring dowu the Interest rate on these securities to n low level. A high interest rate la therefore almost invariably and in the very nature of things a warning of Insecurity.

THE AMERICAN WOMAN. Are Her Pliyxli-nl rotrers Snrriflretl In Ihe Making of llrnlnf The native born American womnn has been made tlie subject of discussion almost ad nauseam. Indeed, it would be a matter for uo surprise if she were to regard herself as a iieing apart. Her energy, her brightness and resourcefulitess have been lauded to SUCh an extent that it might will be believed that the women of otlier countries cannot lie considered in tlie saint* category with her. Tills, too, is true ns far as it goes, and in many qualities tlie American woman stands supreme. Unfortunately, however, she fails in the must Important one of all, (hat of maternity, and fails in consequence of ber cultivation to excess of those attributes which are generally thought not to be within a woman's province. Hor physical powers suffer in proportion as her mental powers increase, and as a propagator of the race she cannot compete with women of stronger bodies, but of less highly trained brains. Dr. Kmll Itc-ich, n German who lived for five years in this country, bns recently written on tliis matter In a British periodical. He draws attention to the fact tlmt one outcome of the overmentallsntlon of tlie American woman and the liypergnlviinizntion of her energy is tlie breakdown of American maternity, which he regards as one of tbe most serious phenomena Which ClOUd the future of tlie United States.—New York Medical Record. DRESS HINTS. A color is just as beautiful in cotton ns in silk. Neatness is tlie first requisite to good dress. A soiled while shoe is almost ns bad ns a soiled white glove, aud that is the most slovenly thing in tlie world. No matter how tine your gown and hat. you will lock badly dressed if your gloves are ripped at the linger tips. A well bred, well dressed woman never runs Io extremes. BllO strives for harmony of color aa well as simplicity of style. If the lace edgings on the hem of a petticoat be "overcast" with u strung thread beforo tho garment is washed, rugged edges and ravelings will be avoided.

SEPTEMBER 23, HUM. KUITORIAL VKOPPINUS. The news that the Ontario-Sk-can Lumber Co. intend to erect their mill hero without delay und that the gentlemen connected with the coin pnuynienn business on Iheir trip out here this timo adds much to tbe outlook for the future prosperity of Slocnn. Outside of this the general outlook is much brighter. The payrolls at the Ottawa aud Slooan Prince have regularly been Increased of late. Witb good forces at these mines and tho Enterprise, together with the Kilo, Club, Cripple Stick, Neepawa and Edison shipping ore, things should and will take a brighter turn, and that at a not far distant time. Notwithstanding the general tendency towards duller trade, which is uow characterizing almost every country, uo sueh reaction, says the Liverpool, England, Courier, is ap parent in Canada. The continued volume of immigration settlers is steadying and stiffening industries and trade and commerce in the dominion are most satisfactory. One point of interest is a falling off in the flow of immigrants from the United States and from Europe, which, however, is more than made up by the increased arrivals from tbe British Isles, and the prospects are tbat this feature will be maintained. With the spread of knowledge of the varied and natural resources of Canada capital is flowing into the country. The next few years also will see an enormous expenditure in railway enterprise, which must affect advanta- peously every channel of trade and industry and render any reaction in the immediate future extremely unlikely. In connection with the foregoing, it is interesting to note that building o|M>rations in all tbe cities of Canada tbis year have exceeded those of any previous twelve months, and this activity does not run.on a speculative basis, but is simply the outcome of legitimate needs created by tho expansion that is proceeding in every direction. ^^^^^^^^^ roinii'McATKii. Editor Drill: We don't like to kick, and arc not winners, but must say that tho present disarranged mail and freight rate service of tbe Slocan is annoying, detrimental and intolerant to the body politic. Why the transportation, mercantile and [inst office authorities should go in cahoots and turn the cold shoulder and the heel of oppression ou the Slocan, friend anil foe alike, is lierond the "ken 6' man" and outside tbe limits of common sense and honesty and quite iit variance with tbe pretensions and promises of the powers that be to bold, advance and enhance the tangible and latent resources and possibilities of our common community and country, whieh if given fair play will respond find in ure to the profit, prosperity and hap* pinen of all concerned.
