Farmers' Institute. At the meeting of the Farmers' Institute last evening the the following is the address, in part, of President .1. 0. Harris: Whilst our season's work is still fresh in our memories it has seemed to me that we cannot do better than spend part of our time at the first meeting of our institute this winter in reviewing the various crops that we have attempted to raise in this neighborhood. My object is to open up a discussion on each crop,and on the methods we employ both in growing and in marketing it; therefore, after dealing with each separate crop, we will stop and compare notes and results, so that we may be prepared to do better in the future. If the members of this institute enter into the discussion, as I hope they will, it will take several evenings to review all the crops, and such a review undertaken annually will greatly improve our methods and substantially increase the returns we receive from our labor. I propose to deal with the vegetables in the order in which they are ready for market and with fruit and other crops in some later paper. 1. Rhubarb—This should be one of our chief crops and also one of our most profitable ones, as a very considerable quantity is shipped into the Slocan each spring, and the few days it spends on the railway certainly leave! it less attractive in ap pearance healthful than Radishes are another crop that there is money in and they must be ready to go with the first of the lettuce; to be really good they should be grown very quickly, which means plenty of manure and a warm soil. Nitrate would do harm by sending them to top. 11'any artificial manure is given it. should be phosphate anda little potash. By the 21th of May we should have radishes, lettuce and young onions in abundance and there is an enormous demand for them at that time. If the weather keeps cold early radishes are apt to get checked, This makes them tough and is a danger that we cannot well avoid in seasons like the one just past, but there is another danger, that of the ever ready cut worm that we guard against to a great extent. We must use poisoned bran at the right time, and the right time" I believe is just as the seeds ar coming up.

We make a tremendous mistake in allowing any rhubarb to he sent inhere, as we can grow it just as well and almost as early as elsewhere in B. C, and by compelling our merchants to send outside for their supplies of rhubarb we start them on very bad habits and destroy their confidence in the home producer. I>y forcing rhubarb we can even supply the early market, and it is not diffi- cult or expensive to erect a building expressly for the purpose and I have been told that it, is a very profitable venture, the heat in some of the modern rhubarb-forcing houses being supplied by an oil lamp. But apart from the question of forcing rhubarb, ourattempts to supply till! Slocan with rhubarb last year were very feeble. I had a lot of plants but these were in a neglected and worn out bed and so old that they failed to respond to the work and manure we gave them last spring. I had also dug up another bed and had broken up some of the crowns and had replanted them but these were too young, so that my crop was far smaller than it has been for years, and there was very little grown elsewhere in the district. Next year the lied I set out last fall should do well, lint I believe I should have done better by growing some vigorous young plants to set out rat her than breaking up old crowns. In marketing rhubarb we should do well to adopt some standard , sized rhubarb boxes and stick to the one sort so thai our customers may know what to expect. I believe thai 11 rather coming winter wi broad and Hat box, costing about 10 cents, is the best and these boxes Would also lie most suitable for shipping lettuce. time jus\ before1 of onions can be shij outside points, and' do well to grow som early sorts to catch Spinach is but lilt here, as lambs quarter early and almost as gooi spinach is shipped in i'r side points and no doubt is a limited market for it paragus also might he gro and would meet with a ver ready sale at good prices. Turnips are grown to some extent, but we do not begin to supply the possible market and it is certainly one of the most profitable of crops and an easy one to grow. The white turnip is the earliest bulky vegetable we can raise and it comes in just as the potatoes are beginning to get very poor and tremendously expensive. I believe that two or three tons of (white turnips, could be sold during July and early in August ill the Slocan. and they should be followed by a supply of early sown swedes. All such bulky vegetables are very acceptable at the mines, whilst early potatoes are over three cents a pound. The white turnips can he followed by a crop of swedes for the winter nutrket, and wo should make a point of selling only the late sown turnips for the winter market! a turnip that has weathered the heat and endured the drought of summer is a tough and woody customer and a few of them will ruin our repnlal ion, so let us feed any of our carl\ sown turnips that chance to remain over to the cattle rather than try to sell them. During the ^^^^^^^^^^ -ottld easily sell many tons of well-grown turnips in this camp if only we had them.

The Duties of Best Man "Does the best man have the wedding ring and when does he hand it over." The best man has charge of the ring and usually piaces it in a pocket of his waistcoat. According to the ritual of the Episcopal church, the ceremony of placing it on the bride's linger follows the plighting of the troth. After the bride and groom have both repeated this after the minister the book of common prayer prescribes that they shall again "loose their hands, and the man shall give, unto the woman a ring."

Our power to think appears to depend on the quantity of blood circulating in the brain, and any device that will increase j,he flow of blood to the head will usually enable us to think better. Everyone knows from experience that the brain is not at its best after a heavy meal. The explanation of this is simply that all the available blood in the body is drawn from the brain and the extremities to help in the work of digestion. For the same reason we can usually think best after a period of fasting, and it is known that clerks do better work before lunch than afterwards. The late Prof. Mayor, of Cambridge, when engaged on liis latest book would occasionally go without food for a day or more at a time, and for several years before his death his food cost him no more than twopence a day. Prolonged periods ol sleeplessness produce a sensitiveness and irritation of the nerves, or, as the doctors call it, a state of hyperaesthesia; which is frequently tavoraOic to mought. Some people can think only when walking, and others only in the noise of streets and crowds, or with the buzz of conversation all around. But most people require silence and solitude. Opium and morphia, in moderate doses, cause mental excitement of a peculiarly pleasurable character, which is always followed by a period of intense depression. The opium or morphia habit, once acquired, is almost impossible to break. Both tea and coffee stimulate the nervous system and the circulation. The heart beats more quickly, and this causes the blood to circulate more ,rapidly through the brain. We drink tea because we know from our own experience that, whatever the doctors may say, we do feel more lively and energetic afterwards. But when tea- drinking develops into a habit, as it often does, it brings indigestion, loss of appetite, and nervousness in its train. , The use of strong coffee at night is well known to students who are compelled to cram for examinations; for, although the coffee does not increase their intellectual capacity, it makes their brain cells more sensitive for the time being.

Both Came Suddenly to tbe Same ;j ;; Person and One Was Many Millions | By DAVID WALTER CHURCH i "I* Copyright by American Press Association. 1911. Why should we read fairy stories with marvelous happenings when there are such occurring In real life? The Imagination is not capable of creating tbe possibilities that occasionally occur among persons who are made of deal] nnd blood and have souls. What Imagination a century ago in a long stripling llllnolslau could detect the leader of the greatest political crisis tbe world bus ever known? And In the acquisition of wealth, what more won del-fill development In fancy than the Btory of a real Mexican peon who came into an Income of $10.0(10.000 a year"? In a town of northern Mexico. In au adobe house lived an old man. Pedro Alvurado by name, u peon, who. with his Indian wife, worked and saved till be bud accumulated $100 Wltb the money the couple bought a piece of land on the top of a rocky bill near by the town In which tbej lived. Why they put their hard earned savings in this barren and not very accessible summit and continued to save and to pay $40 a year taxes on It when tbey needed the very necessaries of life Is not known. It Is possible that the wife, having been an Indian, bad beard a tradition banded down from her forefathers that there was a treasure buried there. Be this as It may. there must have been some reason for the old couple putting all their money In a barren rock, and this view Is borne out by the fact that old Alvarado. having willed his purchase to his son nnd three nephews, called upon the former to swear that be would never part with his Interest In It. When we remember that this legney bequeathed to young Pedro was supposed to be worth but $25 we cannot but assume that his father must have had an Inkling that Its value was much greater. After the old couple died the summit of the barren rock was not divided among the heirs, but l;ept as one property. Then came men who believed that there might be silver under the rock. They had plenty of money and were ready to risk It In an Investigation. They offered the heirs a Inrge •um for the property, and Pedro's cou»- ins were willing nud anxious to sell. But Pedro, true to his oath, refused to part with his share. In vain the other* begged him not to stand In their way of taking advantage of the offer. Pedro stood firm. But after awhile a friend loaned him the money to buy out his cousins' Interest and make the Investigation as to what tbe property contained. One day men began to work on the top of the hill with pick nnd shovel. A month passed and nothing but ordinary earth nnd rock was dlsplnced. The cousins came to see nnd Jeered at Pedro for a fool. But Pedro hud been loaned sufficient money to pursue his investigations to the end nnd worked on. Another month passed and yet another with the same result Then one day In a twinkling all was changed. A vein was struck Indicating that the Palmilla mine, us it was called, was the richest silver mine that had ever been opened. And now this story takes on a wonderful change. Pedro Alvnrndo, son of a Mexican peon father anil an Indian mother, belr to a beggarly estate supposed to be worth but $23, suddenly Bprlngs Into an Income of $30,000 a day. The fairy waves her wand and tbe adobe hut In which Pedro was born Is changed Into a sumptuous palace furnished from the manufactories of tbe old world. Money without limit Is given away, thrown away. Whatever tbe sliver king fancies he buys. Those In his employ are loaded with luxuries. It seems to be the desire of nil men to live in a palace, for all men who acquire immense fortunes build such structures to live In Nevertheless their abodes are typical of their origin. Pedro built his palace, and when he got It finished and furnished It was wonderful to behold, especially In the Intlcr respect The furniture all came from abroad. The most costly bedsteads, chairs and cabinets were shipped from Paris: rugs cninc from the orient, nnd Pedro, Instead of walking on the wooden (lour-or, more likely, the dirt floor—to which he had been accustomed, sunk In the soft substances manufactured by Persian workmen. But the most curious freak of this suddenly enriched man was n mnula for pianos. His palace was filled with them. They, too. came from those factories where the most skilled workmen were employed In their building. nnd their mechanism was encased In the most cosily woods, often beautifully Inlaid. They were In bis parlors. In his living rooms, bedrooms— anywhere, everywhere where there was room for them, and room In Pedro's palace was abundant Singularly enough but one selfish motive guides this suddenly enriched man. The rest are all altruistic. He is besieged by persons eager to buy bis mine, or If they cannot do that at least a part of It. By selling and permitting educated business men to work It the income cnuld be greatly Increased, But no argument no amount of cajoling, could move toe man who bad sworn he would not Bell. Then It was represented to him that by certain simple business reforms be mlgbt himself make bis mine pay more largely. All the ore taken from It was carried down tbe hill on mules. Wby not build a little railroad for the purpose, which could be operated at mucb less expense? "But w*hat would those do who now make their living by driving tbe mules?" asked Pedro. Tbe simple business scheme Is refused. Wastefulness continues. The owner's employees draw Immense salaries, and bow mucb tbey steal besides does not appear, except In the opulent manner In which they live. Will the mine always stand this waste, this drain? Will there not come a day when the vein will run out? And then? Well, then the sliver king and those who are sucking bis wealth will collapse Among them all there Is one who foresees such u result. Pedro's wife bad drudged as a peon until tbe mine was opened. She remembered that part of her life and had no desire to returu to It. Why not from this river of wealth on which (hoy were floating turn aside something to support them In case tbe fountain should dry up? And so she did. Instead of putting away a few copper coins at a time as her father-lu-law had done with which to buy his rock, she took $1,000 bills and hid them. For years she stored away these bills. No ono knew that they were being bidden, no one knew their hiding place. Tbe waste, tbe extravagance, the money sueklug by employees, relations, dependents continued, but evejy now and again tbe former peon woman hid away a thousand dollar bill True enough, what Senora Alvarado foresaw at last came about The eartb taken out of the mine became less rich. Instead of producing $30,000 a day It produced but a few hundred dollars to the ton. All It was worth must be paid lo those who carried It from tUe mine Into the vulley and for getting the sliver out of It Pedro bad seen his fortune loom up almost in a night; now he saw It sinking rapidly away. Then to crown his loss water appeared in his mine. Water is tbe great danger, the great trouble when it comes. In mining. Tunnels must be built, expensive pumps must be put In. either one or both. Pedro had but one business Idea In his head. That was to bold on to his property. But now even that idea had ceased to be practicable. His mine was no longer valuable unless worked on business principles, and Pedro was not a business mum Since there bud been nothing put away, bo there was nothing when the end came. The man who bad given away and wasted millions now found himself -daalilw lo «iw- dV Waste a fly longer. It wns tbe old story of the fairy who had raised palaces and other luxuries for the pauper, by muttering another Incantation caused them to vanish. Then Senora Alvarado, who had been tucking awny thousand dollar bills very conveniently, died. In distributing her effects a maid who had been a long while In her Bervlce was asked If there was anything that had belonged to her mistress she would like to have. She said there was an old quilt the senora had always used which It would gratify her to possess. The beloved woman had slept under It for many years and would never let it go out of her own keeping Surely this would be a treasured souvenir. But Pedro remonstrated against the faithful servitor having nothing but an old quilt mucb worn and not over clean. He urged the maid to name something of greater value. She, bow- ever, clung to the quilt and would not be comforted without this nrtlcle so Intimately associated with her mistress. Now, Pedro was aware that bis wife bad not sympathized with him In tits extravagance; Indeed, she bad repeatedly warned him that he would come to grief by it. Knowing this he wondered If the good woman had not put something away for a rainy day. The eagerness of the mnId to possess the quilt caused him to suspect that something might In' hidden in It Instead of giving it he began to rip it Out came n thousand dollar bill, flipping on he found another, nnd so. ns Pedro bad grown fabulously rich overnight In finding sliver under n rock, he now gained a fortune In nu old quilt He took out 800 thousand dollnr blllB- qulte enough to soothe him for the running out of his mine nnd to enablo him to live handsomely for the rest of his days. Pedro Alvarado yielding to the Inevitable turned over bis mine to others. Some Americans are tbe new owners and are working It on modern principles. Meanwhile the owner lives on the Income of tbe 800 otie-tbousnnd- dollar bills that were successively saved up by his more farseelng wife In tbe old quilt through a long term of yenrs. There Is an unexplained feature In this story that, appealing as It does to tbe curiosity, Is the most important part of It Why did the senior Alvarado put nil tbe little money he had In the rock that covered tbe mine, and why did he pledge his son under onth not to Rell It? The only possible solution seems to be that some Span- lards yenrs ago prospected In the region and from the trend of veins of silver found suspected that the top of the bill In question contained the same metal. This may hnve been known to the Indians nnd been handed down from one generation to another That tbe hill contained the immense trensure that Pedro Junior discovered no one could have known. This must nf necessity be one of the remarkable freaks of fate. A CHICK FOUNTAIN. Can Be Made by Anybody, and the Little Peepers Enjoy It Immensely.

As to some products of tbe farm, there is a dlffereuee of 40 to fiO per cent between the price that tbe grower receives and tbe price that the consumer pays. There are even cases in which this price difference amounts to 800 per cent. Part of tbe loss is due to n bnd system of retail distribution, as when n dozen city milk wasons travel over tbe same route, each tie- llvering one bottle here and another bottle there, when one wagon mlgbt as well make all tbe deliveries along tbe route. This same waste appears even more markedly between tbe farm and tbe town. How mnuy fully loaded wagons do you pass In driving to town? From a dozen farms a dozen packages of butter, poultry or vegetables may go to town the same morning, each In a different vehicle. Every day a dozen parcels of merchandise are hauled out of town along the same road in a dozen different conveyances, and the time and labor of eleven men and eleven horses go for midline.

Indefatigable African Explorer Obeyed His Restless Spirit and Went Over Vast Stretches of Wild Territory—Did Much to Stamp Out Cannibalism in Uganda and to Place Settlers In the Country. The scene was a river bank in wildest, woolliest West Africa. A canoe was moored to the side, and its owner, a square-shouldered little Englishman, was being hauled by savages to their villages. There was a feast toward, and. suspecting hs appetites of his captors, the little man was thinking to himself. "Well, whoever else may make the after- dinner speeches it is certain that I shan't." For he quite expected that he himself would lie the dinner. Hut now. the natives had captured him to the intent that he night be a guest and not one of the dishes, and they set him down in a place of honor and bade him cat. He ate. The titbit of the feast consisted of a red paste, of decidedly agreeable flavor. "What is it?" asked the prisoner. "Man," he was answered. And it was. They bad caught, one of their failing kin, had smoked him over a hre of reeds, and, after cutting uj> his flesh and mixing it with palm oil and pepper, bad served him up in tb.' manner aforesaid. i Th.' guest was Sir Harry Johnston. Twenty years afterwards he attended as a guest of honor at another Af- ' rican feast; hut this, time the menu was in French, and the feast cooked after French methods, by sable gentlemen in a rafment of fig-leaf. i With the former feast in mind, we may say that Sir Harry ha; something of the African in him, and he j will not 'deny the soft impeachment. But the two contrasts afford a very i good epitome of the history that he j has helped to make in Africa. The ■ progress which he has helped to ef- j feet is incredible. Still, how he ever I got to Africa at all must be as great I a mystery to most people as tlie presence of the fly in the amber. For no hum seemed by nature less qualified for the rough-and-tumble, the peril and privation of African travel than this handsome little artist and student. His father was secretary to an insurance company in London, where Sir Harry was born in 1856. Hie grandrao.her was an artist; the facu1- ly skipped a generation, then crop- | ped our in him, so his fathery. after i having put him to King's College. I sent him on to the South Kensington j School of Art, wltere he- won a gold I medal, and then turned him loose as i a regular student at the Royal Acad- Jly, with supplementary studies in l^dart schools of France. Every-, ing was cut und dried for me career as an artist, and there- seein?d every probability of his painting his way to glory. Suddenly his health failed. He seemed to have a wretched constitution, and he had over-studied with his painting, his gr.-edy reading, hi.- frenzied devotion to the mastery of languages. He was sent for his health's sake on a tour through Francs, Spain and Portugal; and a latent, unsuspected instinct for travel now asserted itself. Instead of returning to his studies, he threw in his lot with a French expedition to North Africa, and when he did come back it was to launch out with a notable series of articles on Tunis. This was :n 1880, prior to which he had never earned a p. nny. And then he was anybody's man for a time; bis career becum; a matter of great uncertainty. With his health improved, bis soul cried out for action; he could not face tbe prospect of years of study at Cambridge, so he threw himself into natural history and biology, toiling away at the Zoological Gardens under expert guidance until he became a first rate naturalist and anatomist. All unconsciously ha was sowing seed of which tbe Empire was alien,arus to reap tne uaivc.-t. Not a particle of lis nrtii ic training has been lost, nothing of bis tulent for languages lias lic-n wasted, nothing of his literary skill but has Been advantageously utilized. At about this time Lord Mayo was planning a West African expedition, and he needed a man who could speak Portuguese. Johnston was the man. He hud mastered Portuguese, French, Spanish, Italian, and, if you please, Arabic. He wus pining for a chance such as this, for, though he bad not yet absorbed black man, his trip to the Dark Continent bad set his blood dancing with the zest for travel in that mysterious land. Once you have been you always desire to return, while youth keeps your muscles supple and your heart undHunt- ed, So off he went with Lord Mayo's expedition. The party compassed its purpose and returned, but Johnston stayed on. He determined to wrest the secrets of the Congo from that mighty river, iin-.l off be went alone, a breadless boy of foiir-and-twcnty. "Mr. Stanley, I believe," he one day said, varying the historic formula, when to his great joy he ran across the camp of Livingstone's discoverer. Stanley took to him at once. Two wonderful little men they must have seemed to their black cohorts, lor Stanley, like Gordon and Johnston, was a tiny man. Together they explored the untracked purlieus of tho splendid river, and when Sir Harry returned to England he wrote a book which maiL- him famous at the age of twenty-live. Hi work caught the eye of the ftoyal Society, who placed him in command of their scientific expedition to Mount Kilamanjaro. On his return Lord Salisbury sent him off as Vice-Consui to the Cam- eroons. Here he speedily succeeded to the chief post, and was launched at last on his great official career.

A broken alpenstock bearing tbe carved nume "Dr. J. Bean. Baltimore,'' has. the Loudon Chronicle says, just been found by a Cbamonix guide In the ice of the Glacier des Bossous, which "flows" down direct from tbe summit of Mont Blanc to the valley of Cbamonix. Tbe tind recalls tbe most terrible nccideut In Alpine history, when eleven climbers perished on toe summit; of rhe tireat White mountain in violent snowstorms which lasted u week. In September, 1870. tbe Rev. G. McCorklndule of Glasgow and two Americans. Dr. J. Bean of Baltimore and Mr. Itandall. both elderly men wltb little experience of the Alps, set out from Chamonix with elgbt guides and safely reached tbe summit in doubtful weather. Hardly bad tbe descent commenced when tbe snowstorm started, and not one of tbe eleven climbers was seen ugaln alive. A strong force of guides some days later found the bodies of live victims, Including the clergyman and Dr. Bean, but tbe other six were never found, having most probably fallen into crevasses. It la now thought, owing to the discovery of the broken ulpenstock. that the bodies of the six If mothers knew tbe enormous advantage to be derived from such ■ procedure they would welcome the ' idea.

Berries nre very plentiful and an very good food, only tbey ought not to be served to children unless the seeds are extracted. That Is, they may be cooked and the pulp and Juice only given lo tbe children. Seeds are indigestible, and there is a possibility that tbey may lodge In tbe appendix. Tbe truth of tbe matter Is tbat all foods nt this time of the year are nourishing if prepared properly. Tbe great mistake made Is that we do not take time to prepare them. Especially Is this bad for the child. Nine out of ten children, perhaps, do not know bow to chew their food properly. They swallow as soon as possible, and thus chunks of fresh food are given to the digestive organs, wbicb are unable to cope wltb tbem. Especially is this tbe case with uncooked fruits. , 1 would put a bun ou nearly all uncooked fruits for children. They probably cause more trouble tban anything else, aud all on account of Improper mastication. Hut If fruits are cooked It is another matter.

When Elizabeth Gray returned to Elmwood after a year spent with an uncle in a distant city, she found few changes in tbe quiet village. Tbe morning after her arrival she lay contentedly In the slant roofed little room lliat bad been bers since childhood and listened to the familiar music of hnm- mer and saw from tbe distant shipyards. Just then wood smoke reminded her jnat ber mother was getting breakfast In the klteben and wltb a pricking of remorse at ber slothfulness, Elizabeth arose and dressed. "I thougbt tbe waMles would arouse you, Bess." smiled her mother, as tbe girl entered the kitchen, flushed ani aparkling. "Here is tbe flrst batch- take tbem in and begin your breakfast. I"- "Mother mine!" scolded Elizabeth, leading the rosy cheeked, plump little woman Into tbe diuing room. "Sit right down and eat breakfast wltb dud. 1 shall cook waffles tor both ot you. Not a word!" She smiled back nt tbe two loving faces as abe passed to and fro from kitchen to dining room ministering to their wants. "We can't expect to keep ber with ns always." sighed her mother. 'This last year without ber has shown me bow dreary it will he for us when— somebody takes her away." "By 'somebody' 1 suppose you mean Norman," boomed Mr. Gray's deep voice. "I don't know as there's another man in Elmwuud. to say nothing of tbe outside world, tbat I'd rather give my little Bess to than Norman Ryder. I'erbaps she has met somebody else in tbe city—you can't tell— and Norman's only country bred. Bess probably met some line dandified cbaps in New York." "I'd rather It would be Norman." Insisted Mrs. Gray, with a little frightened flutter in her voice tbat went straight to Elizabeth's heart. "1 couldn't bear to have Bess marry anybody from the city. We might not see her from one yerr's end to thej other." Ellzalicth hastened into tint dining room with a plate of waffles scorched to a crisp and ber fair face flushed and agitated. "I've heard every word , yon said." •hecoufessed between tea rs^jnd laugh- 'ietT'^-ueirts, I'm not golni^to marry anybody. 1 haven't seen any one In New York tbat could tempt me away from you/' Mr. (/ray squeezed tbe little band she bad laid In his broad palm and looked quizzically into her blue eyes. "How about anybody lo Elmwood. Bess?" he asked. "I don't want to marry anybody!" flashed Elizabeth tearfully, "i want to stay right here all my life." That evening Norman Ityder drove over to see Elizabeth Gray, and such la the contrariness of womankind, tbat he who had always found favor in her eyes, now appeared to be awkward and provincial In manner and speech. as compured to the showy youths she bad met when visiting her uncle. Although he was bigger and broader and handsomer than any of tbe city bred youths, almost the first words be ottered seemed to place him In a different class. "8o you knew 1 hnd returned, Norman?" she asked, withdrawing her bands from his close grasp. "Yes. yes!" he had cried delightedly, and it was that characteristic double affirmative uttered wltb a slight twang that drew a thin veil of discord between them. There was something about the expression that smacked strongly of the rustic; that, with the twang and the equally favored double negatlre. "No. no!" seemed to place Norman Ryder nmonc the fanners nnd dairymen who formed the community about Elmwood. Elizabeth hated herself for shuddering every time Norman spoke with a twang, but she couldn't help It She was angry with him ror speaking sober father did noi, nor did any of their neighbors. It was carelessness on Norman's part, und It grated on her sensibilities "I thought perhaps you'd answer my letters." he said rntber ruefully, ns he drew his chair near the glowing stove, "but I expect you were pretty busy studying your music. I'm going to ssk you to play some nf your classical pieces for me by nnd by" "Of course I will." snld Elizabeth. "I didn't write to anybody here except father and mother, nnd they said"— she paused wltb sudden confusion. "I guess they said I came over here most every night while you were gone!" he grinned happily. "They let me read your letters—and that was next best to getting 'em myself." "I didn't promise you I'd write." protested Elizabeth, rather stiffly. "No. no!" he uttered quickly, exonerating her from blame. "But—but —I kind of thought you mlgbt answer one of 'em. nnd so I kept on writing." "I was glad lo hear from you. and I suppose It was menn of me never to answer any of them, but dla mother j give you the messages I sent?" "Yes. yes! And that was something!" | He looked so happy and so handsome j that Elizabeth had to harden her heart i against the magic of his dark eyes. Kneel tlnw mat nasal twang smote o« ' ber ear she winced, nnd after awhile she grew to counting the times be J said "Yes, yes!" and "No, no!" It be 1 would only break himself of using j those expressions. But of course be could not knuw how they sounded.

(Jutsidei-s laughed and culled It part ot tbe dialect ot Bufturu l cuuuty. When Elizabeth asked him if she ) should play for Inm Norman said i "Yes, yes!" and when she asked tf j be had bad enough music he cried I hastily "No. no!" until ber nerves I were all a-Jangle. At last he arose to go. and there was a very tender look In his dowu bent eyes as be lingered bis bat. "There was something I wanted to say to you, Bess. I wonder if 1 better say It now? I guess you know what It Is." He looked steadily at her. Elizabeth did not hesitate. She was angry wltb him for bis rustic ways and provoked nt herself because she was too narrow uuniled to overlook them, "1 don't believe you better sny it." she said deliberately, her eyes on tbe small shoe tbat tapped Hie carpet. His face whitened underneath the bronze, and there was n stricken look in his eyes. "1 hardly dared to hope much since I heard you were coming borne, but before you went away"— He choked a little and asked ber a question, "Will you tell me why, Bess?" She looked tip at him with a strange hardness in her heart. "Uo you really want me to tell yon7" she asked. "Yes, yes!" be sold eagerly. "That's It, Norman Ityder!" she flashed. "It's your BulTiiin county twang and your everlasting 'yes-yes' and 'no- no,' and you know better too!" He stared at her, bewildered for a moment, and ns the Import of her words struck home he reddened deeply and all the tenderness Med from his eyes. "So that's the reason?" he snld gratingly. "Well. Bess, there's no chance for me, then, because If yon don't love me enough to overlook a mere habit of speech you don't love me as mucb as I want you to. 1 suppose I don't shine very brightly compared with the city fellows you've met, but I've loved you better tban anybody else In the world ever could." He crammed on bis nat and wltbout another word left tbe bouse. Elizabeth stood alone In tbe parlor, her eyes fixed in a frightened stare on the closed door, ber heart pounding in unison wltb Norman s departing steps on tbe crisp snow. It was bright moonlight, and scores of young people were coasting down the steep bill tbat ran past the Grays' home. Elizabeth heard their shouts of laughter and the frequent warning cry of "Koad!" The gate crashed Into place behind Norman's Impatient swing. There was tbe roar of a coming bobsled, a muffled thud and then shouts of distress. Elizabeth reached tbe front gate at the same time ber father and motbei hurried to tbe same place, drawn by the sounds of an accident. Somebody bad been run down by the bobsled—somebody who lay, a dark motionless figure against tbe whiteness of the snow. Around bis head the snow was stained a crimson tbat widened and widened horribly. It wbb Norman Ityder, and when Elizabeth reacbed bis side a little group of men were lifting him from the snow. "Bring him Into my house." commanded Mr. Gray, leading tbe way, and so tbey csrried blm across the doorstep which he bad left In anger a few moments before and bore him upstairs to the front chamber. A doctor was summoned, nnd while Mrs. Gray prepared bandages and other necessaries ber husband built a roaring fire In the fireplace, and Elizabeth sat cold and numb beside that still form on the bed. Her bands rig- Idly beld In place the bag of Ice ber mother laid on bis forehead above the bandage that covered the deep cur. Her eyes were fixed on tbe while set features and closed lids und tbe finely chiseled lips which mlgbt purt no more to utter tbe homely dialect of the country which she had despised and ridiculed. She could not weep. She could only sit there, a miserable, heartbroken little figure, bating berself for her censorious words, The doctor came nnd waved her aside. Kor an hour be worked over tbe young man, while Elizabeth sat In her own room breathless nnd despairing. Then at last she heard him go. Ing nwuy, and instantly she was at the door of Norman's room Her mother smilingly beckoned her within and left tbem alone together. Norman, looking very pale, his head swathed In bandages, did not see her come in. For a tnoiuent she stood there looking down at him wltb her heart In her eyes. Suddenly he looked up at her. smiling whimsically In the old way, ns he had been used to do before she told him the unpleasant truths. He had looked tbnt way when he was a boy growing up and she was a little girl trotting to school beside hltn. "Doctor snys I'll be all right In a day or so." he smiled. "But I'll have to keep still. You don't mind my being here In your house, do yon, Bess?" "No, no!" she cried, dropping unconsciously Into the vernncular of Biiffnm county. Slit slipped to her knees beside the bed and leaned her sunny hend against his shoulder. Norman quivered and then laid one hend on h»r head. "Oh, Bess! You don't menu It! Do you love me'/" he whispered. "Yes. yes!" sobbed Elizabeth. And to them both It was tbe sweetest word *n tbe world. SIRES AND SONS.

The Story of the Seismic Disturbance of 1663 as Told by a Writer of That Time Vie With the Modern Metropolitan Reporter's Work — Tremors Lasted From February to August —No Lives Were Lost. "he more or less severe but not destructive earthquakes that have visited Eastern Canada are all associated more or less directly with the "Great Champlain and St. Lawrence fault." running from the gull up the river to Quebec and then curving southwesterly to Lake Champlain, says Dr. Otto ivlotz in a report to the Dominion Government. Uf these tile quakes of 1663, U9l, Istil, and 1870 are the most noted. The lirst one has gained a certain celebrity from its exaggerated description. This earthquake, winch lasted about six months, occurred, curing toe ri-encn occupation. \N t> may regard the record ol this us the beginning of our literature on seismo. logy, anu hence give it a place bete, although its sciei.:.uic value is rather circumscribed. From a manuscript in the Jesuits' College at Quebec the editor of "Hocnelaga Deplcta" took the following account ot this quake: "On the 5th of February, 1663. about half-past live in the evening a great rushing noise was heard throughout the wnole extent of Canada. This noise caused the people to run out of their houses into toe streets, as if their habitations had been on fire; but instead of flames or smoke, they were surprised to see the walls reeling backwards and forwards, and tiie Stones moving, as if they were detached trom eacn other. The belis sounded by the repeated shocks. The roofs of the buildings bent down, first on one side and tnen on the other. The timbers, rafters and planks cracked. The earth trembled violently, and caused the stakes of the palisades and palings to dance in a manner that would ha--e been incredible had we not actually seen it in many places. It was at this moment every one run out of doors. There were tu be seen animals flying in every direction, children crying and screaming in t"ie streets; aim women seized witu affright, stood Horror-struck with the dreadful scene betore them, unable to move, and ignorant where to fly for retuge from the tottering walls and trembling eartii, which threatened every instant to crush them to death, or to sink them into a profound and unmeasurable abyss. Some threw themselves on their knees in the snow, crossing their breasts and calling on their saints to relieve them from the dangers with which they were surrounded. Others passed the rest uf this dreadful night in prayer, for the earthquake ceased not, but continued at short intervals, with a certain un- Mltiiing impulse, leseniDliug Ule waves of tne ocean, and the some qualmish sensations, or sickness of the .-toiimcn, was felt during the shocks as is experienced on a vessel at sea. . . . The violence of the earthquake was greatest in the forests, where it appeared as if there wus a battle raging between the trees; tor not only their branches were destroyed, but even their trunks are said to nave been detacned from their places and dashed against euch other with inconceivable viuience and confusion, so much so mat the Indians in their figurative manner uf speaking, declared that all the forests were drunk. The war also seemed to be carried on between the mountains, some of which were torn from their beds and thrown upon others, leaving immense chasms in the places from whence they had issued, and the very trees with which they were covered sunk down, leaving only their lops above the surface ol the earth; others were completely overturned, their brunches buried in the earth and the roots only remained above ground.- During this general wreck of nature the ice, upwards ul six feet thick, was rent and thrown up in large pieces, and from the openings in many parts, there issued thick clouds of smoke, or fountains of dirt and mud, which spurted up to a very considerable height. The springs were either choked up or impregnated with sulphur— many rivers were totally lost, others were diverted from their course and their waiers were entirely corrupted. Bome of them became yellow, uiners red, and the great river of St. Lawrence appeared entirely white as iar d .vii as Tadousac. This extraordinary phenomenon must astonish those who know the size of the river, and the immense bixly of water in various I parti, which must have required such I an abundance of matter to whiten it. In several places, as towards the i mountain behind Quebec, the thundering noise and trembling motion continued successively for a considerable time. In others, as towards Tadousac, tlie shock continued generally lor two or three days ut a time with much violence. As tar as it has come to our knowledge, this earthquake extended more Uian 6UU miles in length und about 300 in breadth. Hence, ldu.OOO square miles of land were convulsed in the same day at the same, moment. "The circumstance, which appears the most remarkable of all, regards the extraordinary protection of Divine Providence which has been extended to us and our habitations, for we have seen near us tiie large openings and chasms which the earthquakes occasioned, and the prodigious extent "I country which has either been totally lost or hideously convulsed, will,out our losing either man, woman or child, or even having a hair of their heads touched." We might add another circumstance, and that is, that the narrators of the above anticipated the sensationalism of our "yellow" journals by two and a half centuries. LL0YD-3E0RGE ON CANADA. What the British Chancellor Saw Here Ten Years Ago. In view of the widespread attention which Canada is now attracting among all classes ill Great Britain, says The Standard of Empire—the investor, the prospective emigrant, the sportsman, and the tourist—and also of the approaching Imperial Conference, a coo respondent draws attention to an interesting fact. Among the public men of Cabinet rank of this country whi have visited Canada and have borne witness to its suitability for the settlement of the British race is to bn numbered the present Chancellor ol the Exchequer. Ten years ago Mr. Lloyd-George formed one of a party of three delegates from Wales who were invited by the Canadian Government to visit the Dominion, and we take from a copy of a report subsequently published the following opinions recorded by the right hull, gentlemen and his friends: "The greater portion of our tima was spent in Manitoba, the Northwest Provinces, and British Columbia. The agricultural districts visited were Brandon and Rapid City, in Manitoba; and Whitewood, Cannington Manor, the Moose Mountain, and the unsettled portion north and west ol it; and Kcgina, in Assiniboiu. The samples we saw of the 'No. 1 Manitoba hard' wheat convinced us thai there is no country better adapted for grain growing. . . Of the country which we actually saw we cannot speak too highly. These district! offer great and generous inducement! to settlers. The land yields good crops without the necessity of manuring. Taxes arc light, laws are equitable, administration is pure, institutions are free and liberal, educational facilities are excellent (a school being provided by Government in every settled district within three miles ol furthest homestead), railways are enterprising (in fact, the energy and public spirit of all the railway companies, trom the Canadian Pacific Railway downwards struck us as being one of the most remarkable fea tures in the development of Canada), "We may add that we purposely avoided the parts of the country which are the best settled, e.g., Portage-la- Prairie and Indian Head, and generally the oldest established districts it: Manitoba. We found the settler: everywhere pleased with their own immediate district, which was almost invariably described as the best in Canada. We can only recall to mind one settler who was dissutislied with his bargain. Life in Canada, said this gentleman, combined all in* characteristics of penal servitude viz.. transportation, solitary confine- ment, and hard labor. We subse quently discovered that, this gentle man had recently been dismissed lrom his post. . . . "During our visit to British Colum bia we were greatly impressed with the immense and seemingly inexhaustible mineral resources of the province. Coal and iron ore, gold and copper, silver and lead, m.ca aud marble—there seems to be no limit tc the marvellous natural wealth oi the couiurj. "The Canadian farmers will, in the near future, have, in addition to tiie English market, which is free to all, a local market, where they will have: to ail intents and purposes, no com petition. "We left Canada with most pleasant feelings towards lier people and Government, We liked tne land, the climate, the institutions, and the people, and nothing was left undone- which could have conduced to our eujoyuieni or instruction." SPYING OUT BRITAIN STARTLING EPISODES FREQUENT- LY OCCUR IN ENGLAND. The Chinook. The Chinook wind, which derives its odd nunie from the Indians, is pecul iar to the eastern slope of the liockies. It will change the climate of these Southern Alberta plains from the deptn of winter to a balmy spring. likeness in fifteen or twenty minutes and sometimes less—and, of course, has the reverse effect when it cease* blowing. In the beginning of the year Alberta had some very severe weather, the thermometer ranging from zero to 35 degrees below for several weeks. Suddenly the wind veered round to the west, and the much desired "Chinook" blew over the plains, raising the temperature over oO or 60 degrees. The change wrought by a Chinook is almo.-i as marked upon people as upon the temperature, fur ioals and cups are discarded, everybody wear! a smile, and while the Chinook lasts you seem to be transported to unuthei clime. In a lew minutes a great bod> of cold air, w.th a temperature of It degrees below zero, meets the warm clnnook that has stolen in overnight The immediate effect is a dense icy mist, wrapping everything us in a frozen cloud. In live minutes the bat tie of the elements is over, Jack Frosl won, and the prairie winter was re ■timed. Real Sea Serpents. Great numbers of wholly aquatic veritable sea serpents inhabit the Indian Ocean and the tropical waters o. the Pacific They possess deudlv fangs and sometimes swim iu schoofi of thousands, When seen in greal numbers knowledge oi their nature gives the shipboard spectator a creepy uncanny feeling. These snakes havi a puddle-like tail to assist them in swimming. They range in size from a yard to eight feet in length, and the greater number of them are vivid- ly ringed By a queer touch of faf they may be generally designated as h specialized off-hoot of the great nou venomous species. Lake Huron. Lake Huron holds a curious record in having more islands than any other lake. It has at least 3,000. Bad Writing Again. When the printer and the proof reader combine, some funny mistake! get to the public. Such a mistaki got into a Toronto evening paper i few days ago. The city of London Out., has, for quite a time, been try ing to sell its City Hall. The mattei come up as Osgoode Hall, nnd th< newspaper started off the news iten with a reference to "the application of Mr. John Parsons, a ratepuyer o: the city of London, for an injunction restraining the City Council frort selling the Soudan City Hall."—Cour ier. i Recent Case at Portsmouth, When Twe> Men Landed and Were Scared Away By the Sentry, Is Only One of Many Incidents That Have Made Britons Uneasy — German Officers Surveying the Roads. ; A few days ago Portsmouth was dis- I turbed by a very unusual incident. Two men landed at midnight from w small rowing-boat 'near the Tipnor, ' Powder Magazine, an important depot used as a store for all the military I explosives at Portsmouth, which is j guarded night and day by armed sen- ! tries. Tin- sentry challenged them twice, but as the men disregarded the . challenge he fired. The intruders thereupon rushed back to the boat aud vanished into the darkness. While in certain quarters it is alleg- ! ed that the importance ol this incident has been exaggerated, and that- it is probable thai the men acted in ignornnce rather than with any mischievous intentions, tne general opiu- ! ion seems to be tbat the incident pro- i vides another striking illustration ol | the daring of foreign spies. As a matter of fact, spying is great- j ly on the increase, and Lord Haldane, 'realizing this fact, has introduced a j new bill, in which it is proposed to 'inflict heavier penalties on persons j found in prohibited places, and those i who make any sketch, note, model, or [plan likely to be useful to an enemy. j In the existing act these offence*' I are classed as misdemeanors, the penalty being imprisonment for one year, with or without hard labor, and a fine, ot either. In the new bill these offences are classed as felony, and th" I penalty is not less than three years' nor more than seven years' penal ■ servitude—a very drastic change. Per- [ sona attempting to commit an offence) of this kind, or inciting others, are liable to similar penalties. Another new provision relates to "harboring spies." This offence is classed as a misdemeanor and the person is liable to imprisonment for twelve months, with hard labor, and a fine. Power is also given to justices to grant search-warrants, or in cases ol urg-'iiev :> suocrintcndenl of police may himself give written authority tor a search "in the interest ol the State." It is not an easy matter, however, to catch these spies. A few month* ago a German officer w-as arrested for I making sketches of the harbor de- ' fences of Portsmouth. But for every 1 spy caught there are hundreds who are | never discovered, or who, if they are, j are quietly despatched out of the coun- ' try to save international troubles The greatest danger, however, lies in British soldiers and sailors betraying ! their trust, and selling plans which | it would be almost impossible for a : foreigner to obtain. To tiie credit of I both services, it should be said that I such cases are very rare indeed. But j it is nevertheless a iact that some time ago a plan of the defences of. Malta, the great Mediterranean fortress, second only in value to Gibraltar, was sold by a renegade who had worn the uniform of the British army. And there was an outcry against the inadequacy of the sentence of twelve months passed at Manchester on thi» 6py, who betrayed information which would enable a possible enemy to prepare a scheme for the reducing of Malta and the wresting of the island from the British crown. It was not the judge who was to blame, however, but the defects in the law which enabled a spy to escape What was more startling still was the fact revealed by the military correspondent of The London Times, that- this spy, when arrested, wns actually bargaining lor plans for the selling of Gibraltar itself to a foreign power. About the same time it was learnt that a detailed description of our submarine defences had disappeared from the room of a high official, which I meant to say that the whole scheme I of our island's submarine defences j was reposing in the archives of a | foreign power, and that the latter knew the site of every mine at Ports- | mouth and Plymouth, so that, at the I call to battle, its warships could j thread their way with ease through ' the passage left for the passing of j British squadrons. Of course, the I schemes of defence in such cases are j being continually changed; but the- j mere fact that such plans could dis- j appear provides a remarkable illuatra- | tion of the success with which these 1 international spies meet. It is not long ugn since Ixird Me- ; tliui-n and Col. Haldane met, in Berk- | shire, a foreign spy who, not know- ; ing who they were, asked for detailed j information about the width of the I roads. Plans for the invasion of England by synchronous raids are now ! in the possession ol the War Office. One of them was tested a short time I ago by a party of English officers, and it was found that tiie main feature* of the spot chosen for the raid were more favorable to the invader than the defender. Then, again, no little uneasiness was caused by the discovery that a party of foreign staff officers in mufti made an extended riding tour on the east coast in 1908. Of course, it is easy to exaggerate the importance of such incidents; but there is no doubt that there are hundreds of foreigners mixing among ali classes in this country in the pay of foreign Governments, on the look-out for securing valuable naval and military information. Many of these spies mix in the besl society, are accomplished linguists, and reside here so long that they become in time naturalized British subjects. They pass as Englishmen, and perhaps secure an appointment in an academy for the training of young men for the army and navy. Their credentials take them into the highest official circles, and by their agreeable manners they become honored guest* in society, matters being discussed In their presence in a manner whic'a would be carefully guarded against did the fact become known that the/ were foreigners. •F-PT T THE SLOCAN RECORD.

"Here comes Aunt Alvuretta," snld Elsie listlessly from her seat In the bow window. "1 wotuler wbat has happened. She's got her knit hood ou over her sweeping cap, aud she Is run ning across the orchard." Mrs. Parsons leaned over her dnugh ter's shoulder and peered at the tall lingular figure hurrying through the orchard dial divided tbe two houses "Maybe Gamaliel bus had another lit. That cut will be the deiilh of Alvuretta with his Ills and finicky ways; she's worried over him half the time. I'll open the door for her" She went to the side porch and awaited her sister's coming. Alvarelta came up (he narrow path between the rows of chrysanthemums. her prunella shod feet Hashing In aud out of the dead leaves aud her faded face quite pink with excitement. "Is It Gamaliel?" called Mrs. Parsons eagerly ns her sister drew near. Miss Lee stopped short and stared. "Is what Gamaliel?" "I thought perhaps that cat had another fit," returned Mrs. Parsons sharply; "he's always cutting up some sort of didoes!" "Gamaliel's all right." assured Al- varetta calmly as she followed her sister into the warm sitting room, "now are you. Elsie? Haven't you finished those pillowcases yet?" "This Is the hist one." answered El- ale, rising to otTer ber aunt a rocking chair. "When we saw you running. Aunt Alvarelta. we ihought something had happened." She resumed ber own sent and bent her fair head above the muslin pillowcase. "Something unusual did happen." averred Miss Lee with mysterious nods of her head. "I'll have to take off my knit hood; It's horter'n nil get out in this room, For tbe land—If I haven't got on my sweeping cap' Well. It's all in the story of what hap pened when I wns cleaning the gnrret this morning." "Wbnt happened?" queried Mrs. Tar sons Impntlently ns she picked up her needles and knitted furiously nt some white Ince she wns making for ber daughter's trousseau. Miss Lee removed her sweeping cap nnd twirled It thoughtfully on one lone finger, her keen, black eyes wafehlnc Elsie's downcast face as she told ber story. "As I was saying. I cleaned (he garret this morning, or I wns Just beginning to when I deckled I'd clean out that little closet under the rnfters There wns n little hair trunk that be longed to Grandmother Lee. nnd II had nil sorts of truck In It. I won't tell you nil the stuff there wns tucked awny in that trunk. Some rainy day you can come. Emellne. and we'll look It over. But among other things there was a little pnstebonrd box nnd Inside of It was n little scrap of lace, marked 'Ann Lee's wedding veil.' That wns your great-grandmother, Elsie! There wss a scrap of the wedding gown and then screwed up In a little piece of paper was this bit of grandmother's wed ding cake!" Alvarelta triumphantly held up n twist of yellowed paper, which she carefully unfolded to discover a morsel of dark, fruity cake wltb a few flecks of Icing clinging to It "I'm going to give It to Elsie tc dream on," said Miss Lee slowly. Elsie's pale face flushed hotly nnd she shrank back In her cbnlr with a protesting gesture of her hands. "You needn't laugh at me. Aunt Alvuretta,' she said tremulously. "You know I don't have to dream on wedding enkt —my fates been decided for me." She shot a bitter glance lit her mother's averted face. Mrs. Parsons arose nnd went to the plant stand In the window, where she proceeded (o pick tbe dead leaves from tbe geraniums With quick, nervous ges Hires that betrayed her Inward perturbation. "I didn't know Elsie had decided she was going lo marry Jerome Barclay. I Ihought she was sort of teeler Ing between him and Hob Harris," blurted Miss Alvarelta, getting upon ber feet. "I've never taken much stock in your notion of having Elsie get her wedding dollies ready before she'd made up ber mind." "I never said 1 wanted to marry Jerome Barclay 1—I—can't bear him I" (lashed Elsie, wlih unusual spirit. Mrs. Parsons turned a cold face toward her daughter "I (bought It was understood," she said severely, "that you was to marry Jerome. He said he wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. and he says you can keep hired help and you needn't do a stroke of work If you don't want to He can afford to have you live like a lady. He left a dl'mond ring for you to wear, nnd he told me to Are ahead and get the clothes ready. He says he knows you will be ready. 1 don't want to Influence you. Elsie, but I've had to work so hard all my life It seems ns If I couldn't have yon let such a good chance go by." She looked appeallng- ly nt the mutinous face of ber daughter. "1 wouldn't mind working hard for some folks." half sobbed the girl, turning her eyes away Mrs. Parsons sighed nnd resume! ber picking of tbe dead leaves trot) tne geraniums, "i didn't know tbat Rob bad given you the chance to say yes or no." she said bitterly. "Fiddlesticks!" sniffed Miss Alvaret- ta, with a toss of her head. "I guess Rob and Elsie know whether they want to marry each other without any hlghfalutlng talk about It. Hob Harris is poor, but he's smart as n whip nnd bound to make his mark in the world. He's got more ginger In his little finger thun .lerome Barclay has In his whole lazy body. I don't believe in interfering wltb other folk's business, nnd i shan't influence Elsie either way. but 1 think it's only fair Bhe should have a chance, and here it Is." Miss Alvarctta held out the bit of wedding cake in its twist of paper and dropped It In her niece's outstretched hand. "Elsie Parsons, you take that cake and put It under your pillow tonight. If you dream about Hob Har- ! rls you can take It tbnt It's your fate ! to marry him nnd nobody else. If you drenm of anybody else I reckon - It's your duty to marry them whoever j they are. There! I've got to be go- ! Ing. Gnmullel will bo wanting his : milk." With n pressure of Elsie's bund and a defiant glance at tbe thin disapproving back of her sister, Miss Alva- retta marched out of the room. When she had disappeared through the aisles of leafless trees Mrs. Parsons turned around. "I hope you're not going to take any stock in that foolishness, Elsie." "Mother, I'm going to have my chnnce." she snld quietly. "I'll promise to nblde by whatever I dream about tonight If I dream about Jerome Barclay I'll tell you the truth." "I'll do the best I can by you, Elsie, whichever way you happen to drenm," said Mrs. Parsons after a long pause. "Thank you, mother," said Elsie, and then they talked of oiher matters and Elsie's lovers were not mentioned again that afternoon. After supper there came n scratching I and mewing nt the side door. "It's Gamaliel," said Elsie as she arose to I admit Miss Alvaretta's big black cat "I suppose he's come over to spend tbe I night" "The most ungrateful critter that ] ever lived, remarked Mrs. Parsons as I she placed a saucer of milk for the 1 unexpected guest "Alvnrettn waits on thnt cat band and foot nnd five : nights out of tbe week he runs over | here to sleep. I shouldn't think you'd j want him sleeping in your room. Elsie." WTille she undressed Elsie thought ! of tbe wedding cuke nnd of wbnt slit might dream while its magic lay sc near her bead, but she forgot It uftei i all uutll she was about to step Into i bed. Then she groped In the darkness aud found tbe twisted bit of paper oc i tbe bureau aud tucked It under bel i pillow. She thought persistently of Jeronu Barclay, while she tried to banish hlic | from ber mind, nnd so she fell usleef and dreamed of him—clear, vivid dreams of automobile rides around i lit surrounding country and Into tbe ad I jaeent cities as Jerome Barclay's wife' i dreams that were so real tbat she re i membered every detail of each one I when she awoke to n realization thai j her test had failed to grant ber heart's j desire. Not once had she even though! of Rob Harris in the misty land ol dreams. Gamaliel yawned sleepily on his cushion and bounced off Indignantlj as tbe door was cautiously pushed open nnd Mrs. Parsons' face waj j thrust In. "Well. Elsie, wbat did you dream?" she asked, wltb assumed lightness. Elsie sat up In bed and swept the fair hair back from ber dejected face. "I dreamed of Jerome Barclay, mother," she said heroically. "So I'll marry him Just as I said I would." Mrs. Parsons advanced Into tbe room and picked up a scrap of paper from the floor. "What's this?" she nsked. "What did you do with the cake, Elsie?" The girl stared nnd then slipped her hand hastily under tbe pillow and drew forth a screwed up piece of paper. "Here It Is—no—why. mother, I made a mistake and put a curl paper under tbe pillow Instead of the wedding enke!" The color oiimo Into her cheeks nnd ber eyes danced as they had not done In months, She was gelling some of ber old time spirit back, "There Isn't uny charm about dreaming on n curl paper, 1h there, mother!" she asked demurely.

GELT GOVERNS MAORIS JAMES CARROLL AN INTERESTING FIGURE IN NEW ZEALAND. Although Born of Irish Parents the Minister of the Island Government For Native Affairs Is a Maori at Heart and Was Brought Up Among; His People — Are a Remarkable, Race, j Tha man who is their most distinguished leader ol the New Zealand Maoris to-day, though brought up among them, and considering himself true Maori in thought, is himself burn' oi Irish parents. He is the Hon. James Can-oil. Minister of His Ma-, jesty's Government of New Zealand for Native Affa.rs. Under his leadership, the Maoris have turned the tide of their decreasing imputation and bave evolved a modern race pride that has set then- level for future achievement high. With this Irishman at their head, and with the proofs beiore then: of what grandsons of cannibals can -icooniplisli in competition with the white man, there is still a future for the Maoris among Uie civilized peoples of the world.

I Two German physicists, doing Rome experimenting for the Smithsonian Institution, tell us tbat we are as yet off the line ot tbe real secret of flight, says tbe Century Path. Fixed wings i are a provisional makeshift and must, one would say. Inevitably involve the death of every aviator who trusts himself to them for a sufficient number of flights. He must some time come to a place In the air where an upward and downward current are passing each other. If. ns Is sometimes certain, be has one wing in one of these nnd the other in the other bis death Is assured. There must be 11 positive lifting power In tbe wings If snfety Is to be secured In this kind of flight. Tbe wings must beat like those of an Insect or n bird—the former. His von l.endenfeld and Hitter sny. And. we should say. there must be nn automatically acting arrangement by which either wing can when necessary deliver a more powerful stroke or more rapid strokes than the other. They studied the blowfly In particular, finding Its wings to be n double membrane between whose Inyers Is a supporting system of hollow tubes radiating from tbe joint and connected with cross pieces. The movement Is directly downward and toward the end of the stroke a little forward. The upcome. which Is slower. Is a little backward, making the front hair of the lower loop of n figure 8 and then the hinder half of tbe upper loop. In this the wing becomes a little vertical so as to oppose Its back to nu air current on which the Insect Is flying. JVMady's JMirror BROKEN RAILS. No Warning at All.

Arewa tribe carry on the same native handicrafts as they have for centuries, and practice the same picturesque old rites they brought over from mythical Hawaiiki seven hundred years ago. No European can afford to look down on their system of life which has lasted so long, for in many ways, it was, and is today, tne perfect communal stale.

Many Causes For These Promoters of Railroad Wrecks. Among all the causes of railroad accidents in the Dnited States none ii mentioned with grcnter frequency tbnn tbe broken rail. Many causes are nsslgned. and, doubtless, many are contributory. Ac excess of phosphorus not easily eliminated by tbe Bessemer procesB by which nearly all American rails are made has been most commonly blamed, but some of the best mechanical engineers uow regard this cause as unimportant. Improper shape and a lack of pressure In rolling modern heavy rails proportionate to (hat which was available for the lighter rails ol the past are more important faults. An excess of carbon Is another. Faults of shape usually consist In undue thinness of the web or shank ol the rail and thinness of the bnse. The disproportion between these parts nnd the hend of the rnll tends to a lack ol uniformity In texture after cooling. Most Important of all causes ol broken rails is the strain Imposed by tbe great weight and high speed ol modern trnlns. Mechanical engineers believe tbat with tbe present style ol rail the limit of safety is reached al an axle load of 4u,000 pounds, yel many trains considerably exceed that figure. Two or three years ago steps were taken by various associations to have adopted specifications for a stnndnrd rail heavier in the web and the bast than those In use: and these specifications were approved by leading engl neers.—Harper's Weekly. ■ The Perfect Woman.

A Young Hero. In recognition of the splendid heroism of a young miner named Frank Smith, a monument is to be set up at Otaga, near Dunedin, New Zealand Smith and a ieilow miner named Dates were at work the other day sinking a hole in a milting iju.cksand. 'ine hole had to be constantly pumped out us it quickly Idled with sludge. Suddenly to tne men's horror bates supped und fell al the niouth of the suction pipe. His toe entered the pipe, anil his foot was quickly sucked in, and then his leg was broken. Smith sprang to bis comrade's rescue, and wrencued open the nioutii of the pipe so us to relieve him.

The reason foi this is found in the fact Hint tbe regiment Is made up of recruits from Hip Knrschau district. From there men und women In great numbers went tc America. Many of them and tbclt descendants returned to the old home, bringing the English language with them. Consequently the children employ English us much as they do iheit native tongue. For Dull Complexions. Women who are dull In coloring should never surround themselves with brilliant shades. Tbey will only accentuate tbe point which they wish to conceal. A dull Jewel is never combined with a beautiful brilliant The contrast Is too great to show off either to any ndvantuge. Women of this type should learu a lesson from tbe jewelers, surrounding themselves only with such hues ns will harmonize with their own Indifferent coloring. It must not be supposed, however, that the wardrobe will be unattractive because it must be selected from the somber shades. There are a great many colors In the softer tones which are very beautiful. A soft gray can always be worn to advantage b rdral nmmen. as It throws whatever dolor Tjlnavej^ into bigh relief/ ' ' .^f^f The subdued plums and purples are nlso attractive, as In thnt pinkish brown shnde called ashes of roses.

For evening wear lavender, pink In Its lighter tone, yellow combined with some deeper tone such us gold or blue, which will give It character; a baby blue and a very soft shade of rose are the colors which should be selected.

"Then why are you going to leave ine?" "Well, miss—the truth Is—why, miss »I'm going to be married." "Oh, I see. Who are you going to marry, Maggie?" "Jim Doolan, that works In the Alns- frorth factory." "The Alnsworth factory?" "Yes. miss." Margaret Etherldge, the girl's mistress, was interested In the Alnsworth Company as a stockholder and through Its presideut and manager. Richard Alnsworth. "I'm sorry to lose you. Maggie," said Miss Etherldge. "but If you are going to be married, you cuo depend upon me to give you whatever you will need In the way of clothes, household linen ind other things, to enable you to set ap housekeeping." "Thank you. miss." Maggie was married and went to live with her husband in a small suit at rooms. Jim's wages were not very large, but the couple made them dt> rery well till the flrst child came, when they were obliged to take a backward step financially by incurring a considerable bill for medical attend ince. Then Jim was taken sick, and that increased the indebtedness. Meanwhile Rlcbard Alnsworth bad been pressing an unsuccessful suit with Miss Etherldge. He had greatly Increased tbe output of the Alnsworth company since he took the management, and to the book value of tbe Stock 50 per cent had been added. Indeed, Richard Alnsworth had come to be considered one of tbe smartest fonng business men In tbe state. But there were differences between him and Margaret Etherldge that prevented her from accepting him. Those business qualifications for which tbe world applauded hli 'Id not appeal to her...

Tbe were working to pay dividends on her stock, while she, who did nothing, lived in affluence. It seemed to ber that there was something wrong. She appealed to Richard Alnsworth for an explanation, but hie explanations were not satisfactory. His reasons convinced her, but ber heart, ber sense of justice, were unmoved byi them. "Why can't you pay your operatives enough to enable tbem to live more comfortably?" she asked Mr. Ains- svorth. "Because of competition." j "Explain." "Other concerns would be able to undersell and we would be forced out of business." "Why not appropriate a portion of tbe dividends, which are enormous, to tbe operatives?" "Because of several reasons, the most pertinent of which is that the stockholders would object." "I am a stockholder. You may cut my dividends In half, giving one half to the operatives." "You are one among hundreds; the test. Instead of being willing to give op their profits, are howling for more. My dear Margaret, you don't understand such things." "Does anybody understand them?" "Yes, one—Providence." 1 One day Maggie Doolan sent a pitiful message to Margaret, scrawled In pencil on a bit of paper, saying that she wns HI, her husband was awny at his work all day. the children had no tine to Hike enre of them, and Jim's wages were pledged for debts. Be- aides this, there was nothing to eat in the house Margaret Immediately sallied forth with a well filled purse and, stopping at the provision shopB by the way, carried comfort to the distressed. As Bhe was coming away, Jim came In with a rueful countenance and, throwing himself Into a cbnlr, dropped his bead in his arms on a table. "Wbat Is it. Jim?" asked his wife In ■ frightened tone. "The strike is on." was the mournful reply. "Oh, heavens!" cried Maggie In dismay. "What are the hands striking for?" nsked Margaret Etherldge. "Ten per cent ndvnnce all around." "Aud do you mean that you will have no income whatever till the matter Is settled?" "I do." "now much do yon earn?" "Twenty-one dollnrs a week." "Very well. Every weekly pay day I will send you a check for that amount" Margaret left, leaving a relieved and thankful household behind her. The strike proved to be a prolonged 'Sue. One evening while It was In progress Rlcbard Alnsworth and Margaret Etheridge were sitting in ber Home discussing tbe matter. "Why do you not give the men w! at j they demand?" she asked. I "tier a number of reasons—flrst.

"Why can't a compromise be effected?" "The question Is a difficult one to answer. If these men were represented by one of their own number a compromise might be effected. But they ure represented by one or more persons whose Interest 1 don't consider their interest. The questions between the laborer und tbe capitalist are those constantly arising between partners In business. Whenever the Interests of persons nnd peoples are Intertwined there enn only be loss to both In a want of harmony. When tbe capitalist Is unjust to the laborer he In the long run Injures his business. When the laborer is excessive In his demands upon the capitalist ho Injures tbe business In which be Is a partner." Alnsworth bud scarcely spoken tbe last word when there was evidence of a commotion without Some one cried: "Hurrah for the strike sympathizer!" Alnsworth nnd Margaret looked at each other wouderlngly. "Where's tbe leddy? Come out!" There was a riug at the door bell. Margaret chose to answer the summons herself. A workman stood at the door, who, pulling respectfully the rim of his tattered hat, said to her: There's a lot of us here, miss, that hearln' ye have contributed to the strikers' fund by paying Jim Doolan's family his weekly wages, have come to thank ye. Would ye mind showln' yourself on the porch?" Margaret went out and saw a crowd of upturned faces, lighted only by a street lamp. "Three cheers for the leddy strike sympathizer!" cried the man who bad brought her out The cheers were given with a will, and when quiet was restored Margaret said: "I can't say exactly that 1 am a strike sympathizer, but 1 can say that I am a sympathizer with you and your families. I am u stockholder in the Alnsworth company, aud if by throw- Ing off all my dividends except what 1 need to keep body and soul together I could end this strike 1 would do bo." "Good for you!" "Let tbe other stockholders do the samel" "For God's sake, end It!" "How would you like to make me your representative to confer in your name with tbe management of the Alnsworth company with a view to a compromise?" "Bullyl" "Go ahead!" "Do't!" Margaret's Introducer held op his hand for silence and said: "All In favor of Miss Etheridge representing us say aye." There was a wild shout of ayes. No noes were called for or given.

New Chapter of Canadian History In Archives' Report. A new chapter in Canadian history has beeh given by the Ontario Government in the report of "the Bureau of Archives, just issued by Alexander Fraser, the Provincial Archivist. The volume is the record of an enquiry into the location and history of the villages of the Huron Indians. These were nearly all in what is now the County of Simcoe. For the first time their location, which has been, a subject of controversy, has been definitely given. The province is indebted to Rev. A. E. Jones, S.J., archivist of St. Mary's College, Montreal, for the information given in the bulky volume. The report is a veritable mine of information and is the result of five years 'work of Rev. Father Jones in collaboration with Mr. Fraser. All the works extant have been drawn upon. Not only have the "Jesuit Relations" ,iat had been published been quoted, but much of them is given that has never been published until now. Correspondence of the Jesuit nnd Recollct missionaries now in the possession of their descendants in France and Switzerland has also been secured. Father Jones is not only the archiv-. ist of St. Mary's College, but has charge of the Jesuit records of both the North ami South American continents. He has gone over the moil of North Simcoe, aud by actual calculation, having reference to the records, has delinitely located the various villages. Hm maps are given in the report, as well as nine of the water color sketches of Father Martin, made in 1855. A chronological and biographical record of the missionaries and mission centres year by year from 1615 to 1650 is given. Letters and records of the period, both in the possession of Father Jones and Mr. Fraser, now see daylight for the first time. For over forty years Father Jones has been collecting and studying these old records and is regarded as one of the leading aborigin- alists on the continent. He has applied the term Huronia to this department of research, and it is now the accepted term on the continent. GRAVES IN THE WILDS WHITE CROSSES TELL OF TRAGEDIES OF THE NORTH. Sunken Lops. On the shore of Lake Ontario;, in the Bay of Quintc, the most peculiar lumbering operations in the country are now in progress. Hundreds of logs of oak and black walnut, many of them 50 or more feet long, arc being brought up from the bottom of the bay with grappling hooks operated by powerful engines j and hoisting apparatus stationed on barges. Some of the logs have been submerged over twenty-live years, but when brought to the furfaee are found to be in as perfect a state of preservation as the day they went to the bottom. Forty years ago the shores of the Bay of Quinte were lined with great primeval forests of pine, oak and black walnut. The pine first attracted the lumbermen and was the timber really sought for, but every tree went down before the woodman's axe during the winter months. »n the ten or fifteen years required to denude the country of its fore.-ts the bottom of the bay a«:d tbe adjacent coves became carpeted with logs that to-day are worth a high price. It was not until this summer that plans,were devised for raising the bor In the works of the Alnrworlh i sunken logs. Divers were sent down company. Don't send any one else. If you do I shall decline to act fur you." She withdrew, followed by wild shouts from laborers delighted with the novel plan of endeavoring to secure their demands through a stockholder to see if there were a sufficient mini- ber to make hoisting operations profitable. The reports brought up were so favorable that scows were equipped with the necessary machinery and the hoisting work is now in full swing. Some days a scow or barge and its crew will bring up hundreds of dol- «nd a woman. In ten minutes more | lars" worth of logs and on two differ- the neighborhood was deserted. The next morning Richard A ins- wort Ii was nt Margaret's borne some lime before the appearance of the committee and was shown Into a room by himself, ready to decide upon any proposition that might be made. When the committee nrrlved they were placed In the drawing room. Margaret entered and said: "Make your demand." "Our only demand," replied th» spokesman, "Is for 10 per cent ad vance." "If the raise Is granted, how long before a demand will be made for another raise?" The committee conferred and Anally agreed to pledge themselves that no new demand should be made within two years. "How is the rannngement of the company to be assured that you will keep this pledge?" After another consultation the spokesman said, "Every operative will sign a written pledge to you. and you can give your word to (he management." "Very well. Walt here." Withdrawing. Margaret went Into Ihe room occupied by Ihe manager and made him tbe proposition. Now Itlchnrd Alnsworth bad a shrewd heud in more ways than one. He could see nn opportunity when 11 presented Itself, nnd he snw one now. "Margaret." he said, "the terms are accepted on ono condition." "What is It?" "That you make an additional pledge." "What pledge?" "To become my wife." Mnrgaret was not rendy to give n definite answer. She tried to satisfy him with an evasion. All to no purpose, lie stood Arm ns n rock. Elthei the stipulation must be Introduced Into the agreement or the strike must go on. Finally she put out her hnnd and turned away her face. Alnsworth took the hand and sealed the contract with a kiss.

To survey a stand of timber is to "cruise" it, the man who does it is a "cruiser." and his report is a "cruise." Trees are "failed,1' and the man wbo has "lalled" them is a "sawyer." For transportation by water lugs are made up into raits, but "rafting" means hauling a raft by tugs. The cro»s logs that bind the rult together are "swilters," and the intervals between the "swifters" are "sections." The Canadian equivalent for lumbur-jacii is "shanty-man." Going up to camp is going "up to Die shanties." Land that has been burned is "brooly." that is to say, brule. Timber is frequently cut with four flat sides, but with part of the original circumference of the log left between the flat sides. This curve is the "wane,1 'and the log so cut is a "waney log." An Official Mystery. Years ago, when Lord Anglesey was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, he said once of the Irish Secretary of that day, "Mr. Stanley and 1 do very well together as companions, but we differ so totally about Ireland that I never mention the subject to him." Just how they transacted official business remains a mystery. They Might Disappear. "You want the pockets to run up and down, I suppose?" said the tailor. "No, sir," the irritable customer replied.

Canada's "No-Man's-Land" Has Be- side Its Trails Many a Story of Suffering Told By the Rude Memorials to Loved Ones—Monuments to a Mather and Child In Timber River District Have Sad Story. We were wayfarers on a lonely trail I through No-Man's-Land—one of those historic pathways which link the wilderness, with its romance and its tragedy, to the busy haunts of men. It wa.- for beyond the pale of the frontlet, beyond tho Lust.ing strife of the narked-place; m.-l beyond Ute sorrows and joys, and suffering and gladness, tne luxurious cumloris aud the distressing privations, ute hypocrisy and the devotion, tne pride oi riches aud the degradation ol poverty, and the success and tne disappointments winch so strangely commingle iu the civilization of a cuinnicrc.al age. Only the tinkle, tinkle oi the bells of the pack train witn the.r silvery echoes Uirougn the gorgeous though tattered autumnal forest and the monotonous crooning oi tne Inuiau guide disturbed the sanctified stillness uf the wolder- nesa. Far below us tny beautiful, tempestuous Timber iuver, along wnich we were skirting, foamed through its tortuous channel amidst its evergreen banks of stately pines. There were "pines, pines and the shadows of pin. s as fur as tiie eye could see, a steadfast legion of stalwart knights in dominant empery," while tne phantom form of Roche Myettu and nis serried host haunted the liori- ton through a filmy, violet haze. And in the most picturesque spot of that beautiful landscape, where a grassy glade overlooked the river, wi.ii the sunbeams glinting through the trees, was a rude, crumbling palisade betokening that there was 1ml- lcwed ground—"a grave in the wilderness." It proved to be the last resting-place of a mother and her babe, who had traveled, probably together, the long, lone traii across the Great Divide, the sands of which show no returning footsteps. Close by were the ruins of a home, the battleground whereon some brave, rugged woodman and pioneer who had flouted the wild and followed its lure—one of those strange, courageous, adventurous spirits wno shun the society of their fellows, and with their even more brave and devoted wives push out into the unknown to blaze the pat lis of civilization—had gone down in the battle as "the lean wolf- dog goes dow*jj." Only a dismantled log cabin in a little clearing where nature was rapidly effacing the evidence of this resented intrusion, together with those lonely graves wherein his heart and his hopes lay buried, r^n.iined to mark the struggle for a home and existence. A grave in the "Great Silence" be. yond the fringe of a busy world always arouses a throb of sympathy and a pang of sentiment as the traveler passes by. but here involuntarily I reined my horse to gaze on the scene which, at a glance, revealed one of ti.i tragedies of life—a sad, sad story of the desolation of what must have been a happy though humble home by death; of the breaking of ties of affection under peculiarly distressing conditions; of a true though rugged heart left to sorrow alone when evidently all that it cherished was gone forever; but a story of pure, undying love which was manifested more beau- tifuiiy, more eloquently than if it had been blazoned on marble and bronze, or if the mortal remaiiiB of the sleepers had reposed in a magnificent mausoleum decked with costly sculpture instead of beneath those spreading evergreens. No plumed hearse or funeral ear had borne them to that beautiful secluded spot where the fawns would play in the dancing sunbeams of the earliest morning, where the weird shadows of evening would linger longest and where the silvery moonlight would fall Bofuy as a benediction; ao clergyman was there lo commit "dust to dust" amidst the tears of assembled loved ones and the wreaths of sympathy; no surpliced choir had chanted a dirge; no organ pealed; no cathedral bell had tolled Under the pickets now falling to decay were two crosses, one large and one small, which had respectively marked the graves of the mother and her child, but which had rotted from their sockets. Around them the wild peas and the roses twined and clung as if In sympathy. On the larger cross was cut in deep, irregular letters the simple, sacred word "Wife." What a wealth of sentiment, of endearment, of devotion, and of pathetic grief was conveyed by the brief inscription, carved no doubt with a hunting knife I The erection of the pnlisnde must have been a labor of love, entailing a protracted vigil beside the graves which it was to protect from the desecration of the wild animals oi the forest. Every picket had been carefully hewn from timber, while the corner posts hud been shaped with the skill of an expert axeman. A little border of white stones gathered from the bed of the river 200 feet below encircled each grave like many seen in the cemeteries of civilization. There was nn name or other clue to the dead, nor yet any trace of the survivor. He had taken their history with him when he departed. The ruthless hands of time were rapidly disintegrating the touching memorial he had etected; and the stranger could only surmise what might have been the late of one in whom lived the sentiment and the spirit of the wilderness. Tenderly and reverently I replaced the crosses from were they had fallen, and then rode slowly away from that scene of another man's grief, impressed with the fact that surely in these days of social scandals and marital faithlessness the life of that humble, unknown frontiersman was a wholesome I. bject lesson.—0. ).

Denieon, of Toronto, can plan hunting trips and fishing expeditions with the same facility which he shows in planning buildings, says The Toronto Star Weekly He is the architect of many a wild thing's misfortune, and never sc happy as when living next to nature. Sometimes, however, it is unpleasant to get too near to nature—even hu man nature. Here's a story which demonstrates it. The scene is laid in the northern part of the province, and the beginning of things is the shooting ol a muskrst. Mr. Denison left it lying on a portage. An Indian found it. The Indians esteem these creatures I a great delicacy, and the brave in iquest:on planned a feast. It so happened that he had long been anxious to do Mr. Denison a good turn. With this in mind, be I called upon thi architect, and :nvit- ed hjm to be bis guest at the forthcoming banquet. The white man was too good-natured to refuse, and the delight which lie would experience in eating muskrnt became the derisive talk of the camp. Mr. Denison. however, determined to take precautions, and when he started forth for the Indian's tent, he carried n generous basket of white man's provisions. Arriving nt his destination, ha found the muskrat revolving on a spit over a fire which had browned it deliciously. H:s red host was jubilant. Not so the guest, who had secretly hoped that someone would steal the animal before the hour appointed for its d:smemberment. The conversation which ensued when they finally sat down to dinner wus something like this: Denison—"Well. John, you consider the muskrat a great delicacy, don't you?'' John—"Yes." Denton—"Have it very often?" John—"No, very scarce now." Den:son (after an awkward pause) —"John, I brought a lot of provision.' in that basket." John (ratliT dubiously)—"Yes." Denison (sparring for time)—"You say you don't get muskrat very often?" John—"Very scarce." Denison (suddenly inspired)—"Well look here. In Toronto we get musk rat every day. I have him for break fast, dinner, and supper; nothing wt get so much of ns muskrat." John (enviously)—"Heap good." Denison—"So j'ou see, John, It would be a shame for me to eat pari of this muskrat when I get then: every day at home, and you hardl; ever have them. I'll just eat somi of these provisions I've brought, anr you can have the muskrat all tc yourself." It is said that John never suspect ed the real situation, and that hi not only gobbled the whole muskrnt without assistance, but managed t< help empty the visitor's basket ai well.

Two Decks of Playing Cards Were th» Offering of the Noble Company of Cardmakers—They Were Designed by Seymour Lucas and Handsomely Printed and Enclosed In a Stamped Case. King George V. and Queen Mary were the recipients of a multitude of "coronation" gifts. Among them wertf two necks of playing cards from the playing cardmakers' guild. The design is in fifteenth century style by Seymour Lucas of the Royal Academy. The design on the king's deck is on a COROXATION CARDS. red ground, while those given to the queen are in royal blue.

Lumberman's Slang. No other industry, perhaps, furnishes so many original, peculiar, and interesting words and phrases ol a technlcal-cum-slangy nature as the lumber industry of Canada. Timber tracts, says Canada, are divided Int., "limits" or "berths." The growing timber on a tract is a "stand," and the contents of a "stand" are measured in "feet"—a "foot" being a board one loot square by one inch thick, and not a cubic foot. To make a survey of a stand of timber is to "cruise" it, the man who does the work is a "cruiser," and his report thereon is a "cruise." Trees are "failed," and the man who "falls" them is a "sawyer." A man who works in a lumber-camp is known as a "lumberjack" or "shanty man." When going up to camp he speaks of going "up to the shanties." Timber tracts that have suffered the ill-effects of forest fires e-,' said to be "brooly," which is, of course, a corruption oi "brule" (burnt). Fell Over a Precipics. Field Marshal I,ord Methuen met with his most thrilling adventure, not on the battlefield, but on the Alps, when he and a friend were mountaineering. A storm burst on them just as they had reached the summit ol Dome des Mischabcl. For seventeen hours they fought it, and, though starving and stiff witb cold and fatigue, held their ground. Then a flash of lightning caused Lord Methuen to make a fulsc step, and fall over the precipice, but the guide to whom he and his friend were fastened was quick enough to plant hi? staff in the snow and enable himsell to resist the shock of the fall. For a time Lord Methuen remained suspended in mid-air, when any moment might have been his last. He shouted to his comrades to cut tjie rope and save themselves. But friend and' guide, by a superhuman effort, dragged him 'back to safety. That' was Lord Methuen's last experience in- mountaineering. He has the reputation of getting more work out of Tommy than any other general; but they say them- Belves he feeds them "like fighting cocks." They refer to him affectionately as Paul "because he persecuted- them." Worked Far Five Shillings Weekly. Sir John Barker has come for a- tour through Canada to Vancouver, and thence to Japan, Cnina, and India. Sir John's career is in itself one ol the modern romances of business. He began life with Very little money, and it is believed that his first job brought him in five shillings a week. For a long time he was one of Whiteley'a young men, and then, with his natural shrewdness, his resolution, his ambition, and his down-right aptitude for business, he set up for himself in the now famous shop in High street, Kensington, London. He had little money of his own at the time, and had to borrow capital, but in a few years he was able to pay everybody out, though it took a good deal more than $500,000 to do it. Sir John was appointed an alderman of the first London County Council, and in lUOli was sent to Parliament as Liberal representative for Peurhyu and Falmouth. Bill and Dan.

The River Ganges, in India, is famous for two things-its alleged purifying influence on all who bathe in it, and its nuiddiness. For ages there has been a belief among the Hindus that a dip in the Ganges, particularly at Benares, is a safeguard against the cholera, typhoid fever, and other infectious disease. A recent analytical examination of the river water at Benares has revealed the interesting fact that the Gauges is fairly alive with bacteria antagonistic to the bacilli of cholera and typhoid. The plague-ridden Hindoo who plunges into the river to bathe in it, provides himself with a vast army of useful microbes, which will quickly sweep out of his system, the deadly microbes of disease. Rice For Australia. "Imagine thousands, nay, millions of acres south of the Daly River covered with rice," wrote the Acting Administrator of the Northern Territory, Australia, recently to the Acting Minister of External Affairs. "I have gone through miies and miles of such, wild rice in a canoe at the close ot the wet season." Senator Findley imagined something morn. He saw the territory placed beyond need of financial assistance by the treatment and sale of this rice. He immediately sent to the Territory for several tons for experiments. Great hopes are entertained that the Northern Territory will prove one ol Australia's most fee tile areas. NEW DENVER, B. C. HUTT Company LIMITED FOUR POPl JEWEL HIGH-Lll JEWEL HIGH-LIFT SULKEY GANG.

Astonishing as it may seem, there is one man in Toronto so modest that even when he' was invited to lunch with the King he refused to let a newspaper reporter puulish that fact. Probably, almost certainly, lie was the only man uu the city to be so honored. He is related to the Lord Mayor of London, ami the latter sent him an invitation to the Lord Mayor's dinner to the King, which was part of the coronation program. Quite by accident, a reporter on a Toronto daily learned of the invitation. He sought out the invited man. who happens to be in a rather prominent civic position, and asked lor further information. To his amazement the modest one refused to even let him publish the bald fact. "Well, all I have to say is, that If it had been some other officials who had received such an invitation, no time would have been lost in sending typewritten notices, with full particulars and photographs, to all the papers in town, said the scribe as he walked away.

Most clergymen are not at all lacking in a sense of humor. There was, for instance, Nicholas Burke, better known as Father Thomas Burke, the J great Irish patriot and preache*. I Father Tom had a great fondness for riding on the top oi an omnibus. Once when doing so after a long church service in Dublin he produced his breviary and was soon deep in its contents. A well-known evangelical sitting near by took upon himself to comment upon the act. "The Lord tells us." he said, "tbat when we pray we should not be as the hypocrites, who love to pray in public and at the corners of streets, that they may be seen by men." "Now," lie added, "when 1 pray I enter into my closet and when I have shut the door i pray in secret." Without looking up. Father Burke replied aloud, "Yes, and then you get on the top of an omnibus and tell everyone all about it." A convert lady who hoped that he would write her in the style and length of his sermons, inquired of Father Burke what she should do to become truly religious. The reply short and good, was: "Be as humble as a door mat and as pliable as a plate of porridge." Another famous clerical humorist was Father James Healy, of Ireland. Once, when he was asked how he would describe a Scotchman, he answered, assuming as he spoke the Scots' accent: "A Scot is a mort who l(eeps the Sawbath and ivery- thing else that he can git." A barber once in shaving the father had a very trembling hand. "There now," exclaimed Father Healy, "you have cut me! Oh, whisky, whisky!" he wound up by way of lamenting the source of the barber's unsteadiness. "Yes, yer reverence," replied the barber promptly, "it do make the skin tender, don't it?" A workingman once asked Bishop Wilberforce, an Anglican clergyman, to tell him the road to heaven. "Take the first turn to the right and keep straight on," was the ready and apt reply. A Lutheran refrain. "The devil is dead," was once being chanted by two Oxford undergraduates as they lounged about the hall of Cuddeadon Palace. Gently walking up to them the bishop placed one hand on each head, saying: "Alas! poor orphans." "A Eben choir noise most Uncle chu'eh political party " said "is sumpin' like de De man dnt make de mos' in it ain't alius de one dat is promotious of harmony."— Washington Star. Terrible Itching Got Little Sleep Victoria nd Her Tourists. The Victoria Daily Colonist had an optimistic editorial not long ago. The editor remarked that in the near future tourists would spend $20,000,000 in Vanoouver Island. Eighty thousand visited Victoria last season. The railways seem to be paying particular attention to the Coast. The C.P.R. has a Chalet hotel in mind for Cameron Lake. That company will construct a trail up Mount Arrow- smith, and in the picturesque hilly district about this mountain a cabin or two.

When a Coorg shoots a tiger, it is believed that he will not dare to touch the dead animal, lest it should again come to life and spring upon him. The person who touches the tiger, therefore gets credit for his bravery, the toucher being regarded as the bridegroom and the shooter as the bride. The tiger is brought from the place where it' was shot, amidst loud shouts and the firing of guns, to the village plain. There it is made to stand, with the help of poles, and is skinned. By tills lime the rumor has spread like wildfire, and invitations for the "wedding" are sent out. The skin is then brought home, and the hero and his co-hero are bathed and dressed according to the fashion for a wedding, and are seated on the three-legged stool for the "Muhur- tam." Their relatives give milk to and put rice on them, the signs of prosperity and wealth, and give presents of money. During the time of the Coorg rajahs, a tiger shooter was regarded with respect and honor, and he alone was eligible to grow whiskers.—Madras Christian Patriot. MOTHERS!

First, that it is a germ disease, and, second, that like all genu diseases can only be fought with pure, rich blood. Prevention is always the better way and that is why we are always talking about the wisdom of keeping the blood pure and rich and the nerves healthy and strong by using Dr. Chases Nerve Food. Rich, red blood is a deadly foe to disease germs whether they are germs of infantile paralysis, of colds, of consumption or any other disease. Don't let the blood get thin and watery. Don't let the nerves get exhausted. The risk is too great. Every dose of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food goes to the formation of a certain amount I of pure, rich blood. For this reason you nre certain to benefit by this treatment. , You need not wait until you have] some form of paralysis before testing] this great medicine, Be warned by headaches, sleeplessness, irritability, failing memory and power of concentrating the mind. Restore the system j while still you have something to build on. Get new energy and vigor into the system by using Dr. Chase's Nerve | Food. 50 cents a box, 6 boxes for $2.50; at all dealers, or Kdmanson, Botes & Co., Limited, Toronto. fied this bird with the bfown wood-owl found in Hindustan.

Weac- tually grew no parsnips fur the market ut all in these parts this year aud there is a market lor several tons. Il is no wonder that our customers often send mil for their supplies when we are so often unable to fill their orders for the most staple vegetables. Indeed, I can only express my astonishment and gratitude to the mine managers, merchants and others who have stuck to the local producers so steadily in the face of such repeated disappointments. We must remember that when we run short of any line of vegetables that are in season, it makes it harder to sell all the rest that we may have. We made a better showing with cabbage than with most of the other vegetables, and for a time we supplied a large part of the Slocan market. We were rather late in getting our early cabbage on the market in .my quantity, as there were some failures amongst our hot beds :ind we should probably have done better to have entrusted tho growing of our young plants tn ene experienced man who would devote sufficient lime to them to make them a thorough success, grow them quickly and harden them oil' properly so that (hey would go right nliead when once set out, an.I wo must use more poisoned bran nnd lose very lew from cutworms. Plentyof our neighbors would like u good dish oi' cauliflower but we did very little to give them the opportunity of pitying us for the privilege. There is another pest besides the cutworm which is liable to attack cabbage, cauliflower and turnips, and often does very serious damage though ii ran be checked fairly easily. I refer to the aphis. Our customers showed their appreciation of our local grown potatoes by quickly consuming all the crop we bail to nffer them. Mr. Worley had (rood success with some Early Hose, bill on the whole our crops in the Slocan were rather light. I carefully soaked all my seed potatoes in a solution of ft ni;i- lin. hut in spite of this ihere were one or two places where scab was bad: no doubt Hie infection was iu Ihe ground already, for this was in a piece of my orchard where potatoi beentrrown before so\ era] '.5 ;;i) 16 IU 17 25 211 2T ~2 3 2 13 14 15 1« 17 3 4 5 Ii 7 8 5 Block.
