Important Deal Which Will Be a Big- Factor Towards Bringing In Still Moro Capital. The Kruo mine, practically tin first uf the more prominent mines of Ains- SWOl'tll to be located, bus been sold outright to Butte, Montana, parties, headed by Messrs. Lewis nnd Hand, extensive operators iu their section, says the Nelson Daily News. The sale on a basis of $100,000 was consummated on Monday, nnd the property thot bus lately shown probably the most phenomenal silver ore uncovered in British Columella, passes to a company of American capitalists every way prepared to give the mine all it is justified in receiving in the way of development, The. mini1 under the management of the former owner, A. I>. Wheeler, with a force of only live men, yielded a profit of $8,1)00 during September, and sixty tons of ore now oil route to lhe Hall Mines smelter should show a much ���higher profit for the few days of October that work has been carried on. Located by Mr, Wheeler in 1884, the property was worked under tin* former partnership of Wheeler, Glegorloh and McClino for a period of several years, at it time when transportation was the burning question of the Kootenay.", and the lirst silver-lead shipment ever made from British Columbia to the United Stales was made by the company from (lie Kruo mine in ISStt, the ore being packed ou the shoulders of moil three miles 13 Kootenay Lake, and thence taken to Bonner's Kerry by Dr. lien dl'J'X's old Surp ise, the original tug or launch of the lake. From there to Helena was a difficult job, thirty-four miles of a wagon road with a river to cross which necessitated the building o.r a Hat boot to ferry the ore across, and an excessive freight rate to Montana, made (although silver was $1.15 per oz.) tlie result in dollars unsatisfactory; but it was demonstrated that lot) ounce ore could be obtained in the mine, anil this shipment probably led to the investigation of Kootenay's resources. Tho property was shortly afterwards bonded to other parties and the shaft in exploration was sunk to ils present depth ot loll feet and 250 feet of drifts opened, but the imposition of duty on lead, entering lhe United States, and the rapid fall in silver values during the life of the bond, resulted in _the deal falling through. From 1891 up to the past year the mine was uiiworked. About 1894 the title became vested entirely in Mr, Wheeler, who last year began quarrying out the surface ore aud, aided by the composition of the product being desirable for smelting, thus securing a low treatment rate, he was able to operate nl a profit. In August last he. installed a boiler and pump and unwatered the shaft and began underground mining. Sixty tons were shipped from the. south drift within twenty days, and then while awsdting the return of sacks, prospecting was pushed off toward the foot- wall from the north drift and a remarkable body of extremely high-grade ore was entered at once. From this body a splendid profit has been steadily main tained, lhe last shot made in this body prior to the transfer, produced the rich-1 est ore in appearance ever seen in the. camp. ! This body has been drifted on about! thirty feet, and not a day has passed since work began therein that ruby silver, argentite and massive native silver has not been in evidence. Mr. Wheeler having now, pr.ibubly, the. most' varied Collection of excessively rich silver ores ever obtained from any mine. The reputation of tho mine had been generally known in Butte, and knowledge of the recent development having reached there, Carl Hand, formerly -manager of the Payne mine, at Sandon, and who at present is operating mines tear Butte, returned with associates, mid for four days has been giving the mine the benefit of as thorough an investigation as was possible, and tho result today appears in the purchase of the claim at the highest price any Kootenay Lake mine has as yet been sold for." The property was taken over on Saturday night, and W. E. Zwickey, of the Kambler-Cariboo placed in charge as consulting engineer. The sale of this mine, means a rich reward lo Mr. Wheeler for his " sticking lo the ship " through vicissitudes and further means that American capital is again entering into this Held, and also means that the development of this mine is acting us an incentive to the general advancement of Ainsworth. A peculiar feature of this mine's his- lory is that, under the old option of 1804, Scott McDonald, their first manager of the Payne mine, was iu charge. This is followed by the financing of the present deal through Carl Hand, a later manager of the Payne, and the taking over of the supervision of the mine now by W. E. Zwicky, who succeeded Mr. Hand as another manager of the Payne. Notes from Whitewater. (From Our Own I'orrcspoutlcnt.] The Whitewater mine is showing up better now than it has since Joe Katun had the property. The mill cannot keep up wilh the output of the mine at the present time, and it looks as if they will have to run twh shifts at the mill to keep up with the miner. The mill is turning out on the average 150 tons of high-class lead concentrates and about the same quantity of zinc concentrates in a mouth. Four men aro employed at the Deep mine, and it is showing up remarkably line. They are taking out on an average one car in ten days with values of 280 ozs. The last car shipped was very high in silver and lead, about $5,000 being cleared on the car. Some very rich specimens of wire silver are being taken out. Phil Corrigan has struck it good on the Winona. The paystreak assayed 8,000 ozs. In silver. They have ore in both tunnels and also on the surface and have 10 tons sached. Robert Williams was elected warden at the election held on Saturday night at the Minora' Union Hall at Sandon. Messrs. Newcoine, Sweeney and associates are sacking some very good ore now on their lease at Whitewater mine. Our reporter thought ho was going to be mobbed to death when he entered Mrs. Erickson's boarding-house last Sunday. It turned out to be a warm welcome, rather too warm, perhaps, but appreciated, novorthless.

COMFORTABLE IT Will BE. Manager Rctallack Making Everything Homelike at The Whitewater. A Policy Which Will Create An Excellent Feeling Between Miner and nine Owner. Around Three Forks. From Our Own Correspondent. Biily Moii has returned from a horse buying trip with a fine hunch of heavy pack liursis. Billy says they're a little heavy (or packing, but will be all right ioon for rawlnding. Archie McKorvie it head packer on the new pack-train. Acliie is all right and can pack almost anything that is loose at bath ends, hut when it. comes to twenty-four foot lumber and petticoats Archie says he is "skiddooed." Angus Cameron, one of our leading mining mngnates, has returned from Kaslo and Nelson, where he has been putting the finishing touches on a deal of some magnitude. If Kaelo wants to get action on that $1000 ehi! has and Nelson don't want, let her issue a challenge for a lumber packing contest, and Three Forks will cover it quick. Whiskers are all the go around lhe Forks now. W. S. Drewry, of New Denver is muking a survey of the workings at the Bachelor. Paddy Barber has returned from Ihe Old Country, and didn't bring any calico with him either, bo we are throning our duply oil can over the dump once more. R. A. Hilton is going to run a logging camp for J. W. Power this winter. Bert should be all right in the tall timber. Dunk McOuaig is cooking at the Great Western. Charley Plant, the trail builder, says he will have the new Bachelor trail finished in a few days. Billy Moir has sold his big greys to a rancher over Nakusp way. There is a lumber famine on 111 town, and some enterprising man with capital would do well to start a lumber yard here. The Bachelor shipped a car of high grade ore this week and has another about ready. Times are lively up the North Fork these days what with a new trail being built and James Ryan developing tbe Evening Star. There is also talk of a tram for the big antimony property. Two-faced axes are kept under lock and key, aB they are in big demand. Tho Bachelor has a white kangaioo cat for a mascot. If you want to see Hughie Niven smile, just ask him where his lumber pile is. Three Forks has had many enquiries about fruit lands since Purly Ward delivered his speech on the fruit possibilities of the Slocan, and in a few years more we expect to sell Nelson all the fruit she will need for exhibition purposes. LUMBEI1 JACK, Mr. J.L. Retallack is bent upon establishing a precedent, and one which will j have the effect of making him the most popular mine manager In the Province. The average miner in a high altitude mining camp dreads the approach of March 1st, 1007, for on that date the new "Lord's Day Act" conies into force, and from that on all unnecessary Sunday labor will be a thing of the past. To thousands of artizans, etc., this will prove an undisguised blessing, and to lhe uninitiated it may appear passing strange that to a body of men plugging away in an isolated mining camp, the enforced rest will bring no joy. This is an indisputable fact, neverthless, and for the primary reason that for thirty to forty men to be penned up in a close ill-Ventilated bunk-house for twenty- four hours in the depth of winter it will prejudice both body and mental health. With no attractions, recreation rooms, wash or bath houses, the existing conditions may lie imagined, and it certain that mine managers must proceed to make arrangements to obviate this evil before the season is too far in advance. Miners are a scarce quantity in the Slocan now, and we are afraid for the future of the high altitude mines unless the managers grapple with the difficulty. This action of Manager Rctallack will, therefore, commend itself. The bunkhouses are to be thoroughly renovated ; new floors are being put down ; the dining room will be comfortably furnished ; the old board and straw bunks will give place to springs and mattresses: eleclric lights will Illumine the rooms ; new modern heaters will be put in ; bath-rooms and drying rooms are being installed, and ill fact no pains will be spared to make the men's quar* as homelike as possible. We congratulate tho management upon their judicious step, and we are positive it will be appreciated accordingly by the men and that better results will accrue. The following is snipped from the Stayner Sun: Rutherford���Richardson. The home of Mr. and Mrs. James Richardson, Kerwood, was the scene of a quiet but very pretty wedding on Wednesday, September 12th, when their daughter, Dora May, was united iu marriage to Rev. Forlies J. Rutherford, B.A., of Sandon, B.C., in the presence of only the immediate relatives of the bride and groom. Rev. Win. Conway, B.A., B.D., pastor of Kerwood Methodist Church, officiated. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in an exquisite gown of white eolienno with lace and chiffon trimmings, and carried a shower bouquet of white roses. She was assisted bv her sister, Miss Annie, attired in a lovely dress of nile green mousse-line de soie, and carrying while carnations. The groom was supported by Rev. Wm. Walden, 11.A., of Toronto Uuivorsity. Promptly at four o'clock, to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march played by Mr. Conway, the bride entered the tastefully decorated drawing room leaning on her father's arm. The wedding party took up their positions in front of a bank of ferns and palms under an arch composed of baby clematis and white asters. The color scheme in the dining room, where the guests partook of a dainty dejeuner, was also white and green, the canopy above the table being formed of clematis and asters, while the table was decorated with sniilax and myrtle with a centre of white asters. Many costly presents were received by the young couple, among them being a beautiful piano, the gift of the bride's father. The bride's going away gown was navy blue chiffon broadcloth with white felt hut trimmed lo match the suit. Amid showers of rice and good wishes Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford left on the evening train for Toronto and points east, before going to their future home in Sandon, B.C. LOCAL. Percy Johnson has been gazetted rear-admiral of Power's flying squad. Thirty tons of ore were shipped this week from the Corinth. Messrs. Power and Speirs have taken u contract to get out four million feet of logs from Makinsou's ranch near Burton City. A large shipment of hardware and Bupplies were sent to the new camp from Sandon on Wednesday. A banquet in honor of M. L. Grimmett, will be held to-night (Thursday)* ���Rotes ano Comment By JAY-JAY. * If leader of the opposlton Macdonald is appointed to succeed Mr. Justice Duff ; who will lead the Liberals in the next parliament ? There is some talk of (old Man) Fred, E. Simpson being out for gubernatorial honors, and if such be the case and he is given undivided support, there might be some- hing doing when the " Old Man " belches forth at Victoria. At least he can't be worse than Macdonald. We have a photograph in our eye of the corpulent Frederick E. castigating across his knees out in the lobby the lion, member for Delta, for being a naughty, unruly, little wretch, and daring to address the high and mighty without permission. A young mother chanced to occupy a sent, on a train in front of us last week, when an amusing incident occurred. She was vainly endeavoring to pacify her youngster, who was apparently ubout two years old, The young cherub had gormandized vast quantities of fruit, nuts, etc., and seemed to be in great misery and positively refused to be comforted. Finally an old gentleman who was sitting beside the distressed mother, and whom wo took to be the child's grandfather, remarked : "Jenny; I'd larrup that kid." " Oh, I hate to punish a child on a full stomach," she said. " Look's to me like it'ud be an easy matter to turn it over," was the quaint reply. M # # We received a most interesting epistle from ail outfit in Victoria last week. It was ill the n ture of a " Letter to the Editor," and would have occupied about three columns of this paper. It was a long-winded glorification of the Chinese, the object of which being apparently to excite sympathy in their appeal for the abolition of the head-tax. It was signed " A.B.C.'' and tho writer asked us to help out hy inserting it. We will, like . t *** That advertising pays, friend Towgood always believed, but he now has doubts about it. For a long time ho has been paying considerable attention to raising fruit 111 the grounds surrounding his residence on Siinnyside ; the operations being of a purely experimental nature. Considering tho high altitude (8,000 feet), our amateur nurseryman had cause to feel proud of his first crop. Our little write-up a week ago, however, set the small boys thinking, and the luscious fruit proved too big a temptation to resist. On going to his orchard one day this week he found nothing but ruthless destruction. The young plum and apple trees were stripped of their fruit, boughs were broken off, and great damage dune iu other ways. The parents of every boy in town should closely cross-question them, unless certain suspicious symptoms have developed ere this, and an application of the strap in large doses might then prove salutary and wholesome. Now, boys ; remember George Washington. Speak up, and save the wrong kid a licking. # �� * Wc oflen read in an account of a wedding Unit the groom was "supported" by Mr. So-und-So.

Pillow slips are mighty handy things. Eastern Capital for Silverton. CARL HAND SAYS EASTERN COMPANY WILL BE FORMED THIS FALL TO TAKE OVER THE OLD GALENA FARM. The tide has turned at Silverton. Six months ago no one would have believed that a revival in the mining industry was taking place, but to-day that pretty little lake side town is a hive of business. Most of the mines are being worked, and success has to be written in every instance. Consequently there is a big payroll behind the town, and the merchants aJe being rewarded for their practical example of faith in the future of the camp. But Silverton has resources other than mineral. For a summer resort it would be hard to beat, while there are thousands of acres of valuable timber, principally .hemlock, cedar, spruce, fir and white pine, along the shores of picturesque Slocan lake. The soil is most prolific for fruit culture and those seeking land will be well rewarded by Htudying'the natural advantages in this district. The good news comes that another of our banner properties is to be. opened up, which proves that the mines of the district are being keenly watched and that capital is once more trending towards the Silvery Slocan. A prominent citizen in conversation with Car! II. Hand, of Bulb', the other day, learned Ihat a company will be formed in the east this fall to take over the old Galena Farm of Silverton. There is a big body of concentrating ore, which will yield big values in silver, lead and zinc. A concentrator would be erected the first thing. Mr. Hand was at onetime manager for the Payne mine, and it was through his favorable report that the Krao mine was purchased this week by Butte capitalists. Advance, the Slocan ! Work on Sunshine. A CAR OF HIGH GRADE GOODS SACKED READY FOR SHIPMENT. The scribe visited the Sunshine on Saturday last in company with W. Bonnett, of the Filbert Hotel. About a car of very high grade ore is sacked, ami they are still boring in where the big showing was discovered. They drifted about !10 feet and have ore all the way. On the footwall there is an excellent showing, and an old tunnel 100 feet below will be continued for about 40 feet, at which distance they should get under the ore body. Three men are at work. The property is most favorably situated. Pack-horses can be taken to the mouth of both tunnels, and there is an excellent trail right to the property. Splendid mining timber is also to be had in abundance. The property is being worked under lease by Al. Holmquist and Tom Carley, who are to be congratulated upon their reward obtained in so short a time. They were also packing some fine, looking ore from the Corinth, an adjoining property. On the dump there was a large quantiy of very good concentrating ore. It is the intention of the lessees to instal a portable concen- t.ator to treat these ores. 30 Inches Of Im STRIKE ON " GREY COPPER " OF BODY OF ZINC WHICH GIVES 57 PER CENT. J. A. Whittier has struck a nice body of zinc ore on the Grey Copper. In the old workings there is a foot of this ore, and a tunnel was started a few weeks ago to tap the ledge at a good depth. This has been accomplished and the ore ore shoot has widened out to two feet and a half. Present indications point to tbe vein being even wider below. The ore assays as high as 57 per cent zinc.

The third hearing of the classification of various kinds of imported Zini ore was called in New York last Saturday before General Appraisers Fischer ami Howell of board No. 2, and adjourned until November 15. The cuse went over in order to give both sides an opportunity to hear tho testimony of Dr. Davis T. Day, in charge of tl; > United States geological survey, who la now In the west on government business. At the time lhe case was called for the second hearing, which was abou*. the 1st of September, it was announced that the testimony was all in and tha'; a decision would he rendered abou'J three weeks later. It now seems thai; some testimony which will have an important bearing on the case has not been received, therefore the case wau postponed. The chief witness Saturday was Prof' II. II. Wheeler, a mining engineer c ' St. Louis, who was on the stand the most of the morning. The board also heard J. W. Mister, of Plymouth, Mas".. All the testimony was entirely of a technical character and turned principally on the point as to whether car bonate and silicate of zinc can be con* sidered calamine, At the hearing the government introduced a large quantity of documentary evidence and testimony as to commercial practices throughout the country, as well us much technical testimony from Prof. Wheeler. The case in question is a sharp contest between the domestic miners oi zinc, who secured -from the treasury department a ruling requiring the pay- muiit uf 20 per cent duty oil imported ores from Mexico and arc now supporting the government in the ruling, and the domestic smelters, who contend thi duty should be assessed at the rate ol 1 !.j cents per pound only on the lead contents, which would make the duty between 20 and HO cents per ton of zinc ore. The light originated with the zinc. mine operators of the .Missouri-Kansas district about a year ago, and is being contested by the smelling interests, headed by the New Jersey Zinc Co. At the last hearing more attorneys were employed in the case, the government and zinc mine operators of this district being represented by John A. Kemp, assisted by Evcritt Brown and John Francis Strauss, all of New York. The importers were represented by W. Wickham Smith, also of New York. ���Joplin Globe. LOCAL. M. L.

Btc. litniMWIBIBI��lll��IIIWllllMIII��IIHWIIMWIMl��IMI��inMB (Continued.) CHAPTER VIII. The rain poured without ceasing all night, and the greater part of the next day. The graveled paths were turned into torrents, the roads submerged, nothing was heard hut the howling wind, the heating rain against the windows, and the rustling leaves on the brunches howed beneath the gale. The beautiful, bright Bummer had suddenly turned to gloom and sadness. ICdniee paced up and down the drawing-room, dimly lighted by lie narrow windows, chafing at being forcibly confined within and deprived of all the pleasures that made the country endurable. For a while she helped Aunt Relie to assort the delicate shades of silk, while chattering, without awaiting the answers; then alio took up a book that immediately bored her, and finally welcomed the announcement of breakfast with delight. Marthe was still suffering, but had made an effort to come down, and allowed her sister to pet her and play the nurse with as much earnestness as she ever played at anything. After breakfast, Aunt Relie Installed herself behind her frame at the ���window, as usual, while Marthe sank Into a deep arm-chair, sad and silent. The tranquility of her surroundings became unendurable to Edmee. She resumed her pacing up and down the room, Impatiently watching the progress of the hours. "I assure you this is nothing at all, Edmee," observed Aunt Relie, teasing- ly. "Wait till autumn and winter, when you dare not. poke your nose out, whei. the postman can scarcely reach us, and provisions threaten to run short; when we almost freeze to death In this beautiful chateau " "Don't calumniate our chateau, Aunt," Interrupted Marthe, shaking off the painful reverie into which Bhe had fallen. "We can keep ourselves very warm and comfortable, and we have plenty of books, papers and periodicals to amuse us during the long evenings. Are you cold, Edmee?" Edmee shivered under her pretty white shawl and made an affirmative sigh. Marthe Immediately touched the bell, and soon a roaring fire blazed in the enormous chimney, brightening up the old room with its dancing lights. Notwithstanding the hour, it was quite dark, and Mme. Despois abandoned her work to seat herself near the fireplace, while Edmee, radiant and smiling once more, Installed herself in a pile of cushions at her sister's feet, and extended her hands to the fire. "This is comfortable, at least!" she cried. "The cheerful fire inspires conversation. I love so to chatter and you are both so silent and grave that It gives me the blues!' "Well, my little chatterbox," laughed Marthe, "we ask nothing better than to listen to you; is it not so, Aunt?" "Yes, on condition that she talks nonsense; there is nothing so amusing as nonsense in others," retorted Aunt Relio. "Then you shall be served to perfection," rejoined Edmee, gaily. "I must do you the justice to say you are good-natured, at least; Edmee." "This cheerful blaze makes me amiable. I was getting cross, watching the dismal rain. A grate fire always makes me think of my childhood. Mamma always loved to see a blaze in the chimney, even in summer time; and I can still see myself crouching In a corner while she dressed. I thought her so pretty, so very pretty." Edmee seldom made any allusion to her past, and Marthe had often felt curious to learn something of the childhood of this sister whom she had not known until she had found her blossoming into womanhood. She did not like to question her, and contented herself with the few words that escaped Edmee, and gave her a glimpse of a somewhat strange existence for a child. "I am sure she could not be us pretty as you, my darling," said Marthe, toying with a curl of her Bister's golden hair. "Oh! much prettier, with large, childish, blue eyes: at thirty-five she sllll played the Ingenue, and could do it better than anybody, too. She had a way of saying a simple little word, without perceptibly raising her voice, that brought the tears to everybody's eyes. I adored mamma and she was very fond of me when she had time; but she often forgot me entirely." "What, forgot you!���what do you mean?" "Oh! she was not wicked, but she had so many friends, and went out so much, that she scarcely saw anything of me, When she went out to dinner, she often forgot to order dinner for me; and as the servants were frequently changed, they cared little for me. So I had to take care of myself, and dined on crackers and preserves when I could find (hem. One day papa unexpectedly returned from a journey and found me greedily devouring a biscuit, perched on a cushion I had placed on a chair. When I heard papa's voice I was much frightened, and would have tumbled to the floor if he had not caught, me. I cried bitterly, half from fright, half from hunger, and it was only hy great effort that he succeeded in soothing me. 'Run for your hat, my little Edmee,' he said consolingly, 'and we shall dine together at the restaurant.' I was not quite sure of what that, meant, hut I did not hesitate. We had an excellent dinner and some wine that tickled my palate. I believe it was the happiest evening of my life. Papa was very amusing and affectionate, and once I caught, him looking at me with tears In his eyes. That, seemed strange to me, and I said, reproachfully: 'Why, papa, gentldmen never cry.' For the firsi time he then spoke to me of my sister, who would bo a mother to me If ever I needed protection. After that 1 had a governess. ] did not like her much, but she at least saw that I had my dinner every day." "All the same, It was a queer way of bringing up a child," sniffled Aunt Relie. "I am afraid I am giving you a false Impression of my existence in telling th-"*0 things," she continued. "For I was much loved and petted by everybody, especially as I grew older. When I was fifteen, one of mamma's cous- \ii who wuh v-a'v fond of me. took me to tne Hieatfe one aay wunout telling anybody. She played the comic parts and made everybody laugh by her funny grimaces and gestures. It was very funny, but always the same thing. She took me to the green room, where many gentlemen came, who said many witty things and were the first to laugh at their own sallies. I laughed too, although I did not always understand. Then, one old gentleman told me that when I made my debut I should create a sensation In Paris. 'Leave that child alone,' said my cousin; 'she Is Miss Levasseur and will never be an actress, for she Is to be a rich heiress some day.' 'Then why do your bring her here?' retorted the gentleman. They all laughed at this and paid no more attention to me. But one of the gentleman was a friend of my guardian, and the story came to mamma's ears, and I was sent away to school. Vou see that I was spoilt and neglected In turn; a queer way to bring up a child, as Mme. Despois says. But It Is only since I came here that I have known constant affection, kindness and devotion. You may judge how grateful I am, and how your little sister adores you, Marthe!" "My dear little Edmee, you will make me weep again." "Ah! indeed no. That would bring back that wretched headache again. And I want to see you strong, well and brave." "Brave for both?" muttered Mme. Despois, a little sarcastically, although thinking to herself that this child knew how to win all hearts to herself. At this moment a servant announced that Monsieur le Cure wished to see "Mademoiselle" for a moment. "Show him in here," replied Marthe. "I scarcely dare come in, Marthe," said the visitor, as he appeared on the threshold; "I am covered with mud, and wet from head to foot��� what! a fire in July���what a good Idea on such a day." "Come In, we shall warm and comfort you, Monsieur," observed Marthe. "But how come Francolse to allow you to come out on such a day? She is usually so prudent." "I came out In spite of her and in spite of myself, too; for I might as well confess my little weaknesses. Duval's wife Is very 111, and I have just come from there; and I said to myself: 'My little Marthe will send her some broth and wine.' " "Come, Monsieur," said Mme. Despois, with a toss of her head, "make a clear breast of it all. The thought of a good roast and some warm wine had something to do with your deviation to reach the chateau." "Another of my weaknesses," he confessed, with a laugh; "I am quite a gourmand and Marthe is so skillful In preparing hot wine. To tell the truth, I am soaked through by this beating rain and I am ashamed to see my soutane smoking near the fire." "And your shoulders are wet, too," cried Edmee, throwing her white shawl over his shoulders. "Mademoiselle Edmoc, he protested, "I beg of you���your pretty shawl ��� and besides, it is hardly a priestly garment���although I must admit it Is comfortable." "Keep It on," pleaded Aunt Relie; "it becomes you very well, and It Is as light as venial sin." "Humph!" ejaculated the priest; "he who fears not. venial sin shall easily fall Into mortal sin." "Since we are on such grave subjects," resumed Mme. Despois, gaily, "I should like to be enlightened on one point. You are good enough to admire my embroidery. "Indeed, Madame, you are a fairy. That cushion you sent me for my prie-Dieu is a marvel; only It Is too beautiful, I hardly dare kneel on It." "Well, Monsieur le Cure, I have a friend���who is not very pious, I am afraid���who takes old church vestments and ornaments, cuts out the superb flowers and arabesques to applique them on satin or plush, and surround them with fantastic stitches ���somewhat, similiar to mine. Is that what you call a venial sin?" "Sacrilegious! Madame, sacrilegious! As to deciding whether a thing is a venial or a mortal sin, one must first reflect. But where do you find these old things you introduce Into your magnificent portieries and draperies?" "Oh! I hunt up the bric-a-brac shops in Paris. They have magnificent brocades and stilts our grandmothers wore at court balls." "What a place Paris is!" exclaimed the simple country priest; "one can find anything there." Marthe interrupted the conversation, entering with the hot wine she had prepared with her own hands, and which Bleamori u.nu��ii*im*lv. "Let me send "word to FrancolSe that you dine with us," she said. "The rain Is over, but the roads are frightful." "My dear child, she would scold with a vengeance. Tears have no effect on the vivacity of that excellent woman; on the contrary; she has a flow of words that I often envy when I am delivering my Sunday sermon. Bhe would reproach me of preferring the fare here to the cabbage soup and pudding Bhe announced we should have for dinner. Besides, she Is very Inquisitive and I have promised to tell her all I should hear concerning the assassination of that unfortunate young man." "What assassination?" cried the three women together. "What! you have not heard of It?" "No, we have not." "There! there! Early this morning, the body of a young officer was found In the forest near the turn of the path that leads to the 'Fontaine de Vlr- ginle.' PIIs name was Berton, or Bertrand, and he was killed by a pistol shot. The murder evidently took place yesterday afternoon, for the young man left Trouvllle at about two o'clock, and his horse was found later and brought back there. But did you know him?" exclaimed the priest, suddenly noticing the consternation his words had produced. "Yes," replied Marthe, In tremulous tones. "He was a frequent visitor here, and w��.s introduced by Robert d'Ancel." "Oh, yes, Robert knew him. As soon as the body was found, the authorities called on him as a friend of the victim. He was out, but came In before they left. Ho seemed greatly shocked, and I understand he had an engagement with his friend to meet him at Trouvllle to-day or to-morrow, but on account of the storm had decided to postpone It. He gave them the address of the captain's brother, the only relation he knew of, and with whom the young officer quarreled many years ago." Edmee had sunk back in a chair, white and trembling, murmuring: "And I who expected him and was angry because he failed to keep his word." "la anyone suspected?" asked Marthe. "There are all sorts of rumors. The inquest may throw some light on the matter. The spot is a deserted one, and the body remained where it had fallen until this morning. The murderer had plenty of time to make his escape, after rifling the victim's pockets of all his money; but he was very careful to leave the watch and ,rlng, as they might compromise him. He is far enough by this time, you may be sure. To think such a thing should happen iu our quiet neighborhood! It will give it a bad reputation, and strangers will avoid it .But why did he not take the main road? There, at least, he would have run no danger of being killed, and causing so much uneasiness to peaceable people like us!" "The captain always professed the greatest scorn for ordinary roads," said Marthe, "and always took the shortest way. He was of a violent nature, and met u violent death. Poor young fellow!" "Alas!" sighed the good priest. "A sudden death, without preparation, la very sad. They say death must have been Instantaneous. The wretch, whoever he was, aimed well."

Certain hyper-sensltlve parents have uttered emphatic protests because the education committee of the London County Council has removed from Its requisition list several series of upright writing copybooks. They declare that this action will endanger the eyesight of the children, and they base the statement on a report that BO per cent, of the ailments afflicting French children are caused by the sloping system of writing. But Prof. Malcolm McHardy, the famous oculist, does not agree with this opinion. The direction of Che writing la of no Importance as long as there Is plenty of contrast. The writing of a slate pencil on a slate Is very dangerous. Black Ink on white paper ts good, white Ink on black paper would be beat of all. "It must not be forgotten that the chairman of the education committee Is Sir William Collins, who Is an oculist, and he would sanction nothing which would In anyway be harmful to the sight of the children. "All teachers, should remember that writing with fine pens Is a source of danger. The thicker the stroke the greater the contrast. "Short sight Is not as harmless a complaint as It Is popularly believed to be. It is caused by the stretching of the coats of young eyeballs so that these tend to become more and more lemon-shaped Instead of apple-shaped, as In the normal eye, or orange-shaped, as In the long-sighted eye Of tha earlier man. Short sight is often the beginning of many of the most Irremediable and blinding forms of eye degeneration. "The cause of much of the short sight of present-day children Is that they are condemned to thread beads, learn line stitching, fold paper, and other kindergarten abominations. "The unchanging range of vision and want of contrast cause all the mischief." Sir Wilfrid Lawson and Gladstone. So far did Sir Wilfrid Lawson carry his teetotal opinions that guests at his table were not allowed wine.

He replied, "Water, Herbert; and very little of that tool"���St. James' Gazetia. 8EA CHEST OF CAPT. COOK. Rare Relio of the Old Sea Pathfinder Treasured In United States. Capt. Cook's chest, the one which he carried with him on his voyage of discovery over one hundred years ago, occupies a conspicuous place In the home of Rev. R. Crosby of this village, says a North Branch, Mich., despatch to The Detroit Free Press. It Is presumed that this rare old treasure Inclosed the chart of the St. Lawrence River when, In 1759, Capt. James Cook, with the ship Mercury, commanded a squadron which perform - ed the hazardous service of taking soundings of that river under the guns of the French forts. The chest was probably with the famous navigator when he made his voyage of discovery In the Antarotlo regions. His observations, which were published In London in 1777, were doubtless preserved In this same old box. After Capt. Cook discovered the Sandwich Islands and was killed there by natives In 1779, the chest, with other property, was returned to the family of the great navigator. Some time previous to 1800 William Cheetam, a gentleman and connoisseur of Southwell, England, received it from tho Cook family. At the death of Mr. Cheetam In 1880 his widow gave It to her sister, Mr. Crosby's grandmother. She died twenty-five years ago, aged 88, leaving it to her grandson. When Mr. Crosby came to America the family was unwilling that ths vilued keepsake should leave England, so It was left In his mother's care. Her death having since occurred, It has lust been shipped to America by a dialer of Rev. Mr. Crosby. The chest Is made of Spanish mahogany, beautifully and copiously bound In hammered brass, the work evidently ��� I an expert. The mahogany Is one and i half Inches thick, each side being a �����inirle pleoe. Its top Is 42x28 Inches, tnd lhe depth 26 inches. Ntw-vay.

Sanitary Milk Tim I liny lie Vended at MiMli-rnlt- Coat. What Is to he done for the great mass of people who cannot afford to buy ccrtiUed milk delivered In glass jars at an advance price? The following scheme has been suggested to mill; producers by the health authorities of one city: Make the milking pail, shipping can and delivery cau one vessel, holding about Iif teen quints, with a small 5'j Inch opening and a tight cover. Milk through a sterilized cheesecloth strainer directly into this can until it is full; throw the strainers into a pall; put on the cover and sink the can in lee water. This can is shipped by rail, or carried ou the peddler's wagon, uud used for u delivery can. This milking pail and cheesecloth strainer must be sterilized by steam or simply hy putting the pail containing some water and strainers on the stove to boil for five minutes. A cooling tank should lie made so that It overflows at a level just below the cover of the can. This scheme ought to materially lower the cost of clean milk. For the house peddling we offer one or two suggestions: The usual method of using a quart dipper or a tightly closed pail with a spout that can he corked; then the peddler turns the pall upside down to mix the milk, removes the cork and pours out the required amount Into the customer's glass or tin quart measure, the cleanliness of which the customer is responsible for.

Thousands of women suffer from headaches, dizziness, langour and nervousness. Few realize that their misery all conies from the had state of their hliiud. They take one thing for their head, and another for their stomach, a third for their nerves. And yet all the while it is simply their blood that in the cause of all their trouble. Dr. William's Pink Pills cure all tlitse and other blood troubles because they actually make new, rich, red blood, Mrs. J. H. McArthur, St. Thomas, Ont., says: "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done me a world of good. For about eighteen months I was a constant sut- fei'er. I was terribly run down and the least exertion left me fagged out. I slept badly at night, and this further weakened me, and finally 1 had to give un housekeeping and go boarding as I was quite unable to do any housework. I took dootor's medicine but it was of little or ho benefit. One day a neighbor told me how much benefit she had derived from Dr. Williams'Pink Pills and advised nie to try them. 1 sent and got three boxes, and hy the time 1 had used them I could feel a change for the better. Then 1 got four boxes more and before they Were all gone my health was fully restored. To see me now one would not think H had ever been sick for a day, and I can honestly say I owe my renewed health to Dr. Williams Pink Pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the greatest cure there is for the weakness and backaches and sideaches of anemia, all the distress of indigestion, all the pains and aches of rheumatism, sciatica and neuralgia, and the weak- ness and ill health that follows any disturbance of regularity in the blood supply.

There is no morth In the whole year In which nature wears a more beautiful appearance than In the month if August. Spring has many beauties, and May is a fresh and blooming month, but the charms of this time of year are enhanced by their contrast with the winter season. August has no such advantage. It comes when we remember nothing but clear skies, green fields, and sweet-smelling flowers when the recollection of snow and Ice and bleak winds has faded from our minds as completely as they have disappeared from the earth���and yet what a pleasant time it Is! Orchards and cornfields ring with the hum of labor; t'-ees bend beneath the thick clusters of rich fruit, which bow their branches to the ground; and the corn, piled In graceful sheaves or waving in every light breath that sweeps about It, as If It wooed the sickle, tinges the landscape with a golden hue. A m&.low softne-s appears to hang over the whole earth; the Influence of the season seems to extend Itself to 'the very wagon, whose slow motion across the well-reaped field is perceptible only lo the eye, but strikes with no harsh sound upon the ear.���From tha "Pickwick PaJaarfl-" Women In the Hayfields.

Sorplu- of Product* From Cows Ke*t at the Owner'- Loss. Dairy products are too abundant and prices too low for the man with the average cow. She is no longer an economic factor. Everybody agreeR that if a third or half of the cows could be culled out there would be a good profit with the remainder. Why? Because they produce enough to bring down the cost of production to a profit making limit. The great surplus of cow products today comes from cows that are kept at a loss owned by farmers who do not or will not exercise their brains sufficiently to find out that fact, atfirins Hoard's Dairyman. The country needs, the farmers need, a state of knowledge and affairs whereby we can produce just as much milk products as we do today, for Instance, with half the number of cows. The true object of dairy breeding should be to Induce the farmer to keep half the number of cows and twice as good ones. With such cows It would be difficult to carry the price of the product so low that there would not be a good profit in It. Right there lies the secret of economic production and profit For many years to come there will be a wide open field right here for the breeder of fine dairy cattle to supply those farmers who want first class cows, possibly to breed to a dual purpose sire to raise veals. Back of all other considerations lies the necessity to breed a kind of cow that can make a profit for her owner even with low prices for her products. A Bad Practice. A buttermaker from a neighboring creamery was in the Dairyman office the other day, and said to us: "I wish you would say something that would persuade my patrons from allowing their night's milk to stand in a stable all night." We expressed great surprise, and said it could not be that there were many farmers In this enlightened day who would be guilty of so dirty a practice as that. To our astonishment, he said that on Investigation he had found that more than half of them were doing just that thing. We inquired as to what kind of men his patrons were. Did they read? Were they intelligent men? We asked him why they did It. His answer was, "Because they begrudged the labor of taking It into the kitchen." It Is very hard to get some patrons of a creamery to see how responsible they are for the good flavor and final price the butter Is to bring. If they could see it, they would be different kind of men, and handle their milk, cream and cowa vastly different than they do.���Hoard's Dairyman. Quantity and Butter Fat. With reference to quantity It would be correct to say that among the strictly dairy breeds Holsteins rank first, Ayrshires second, Guernseys third and Jerseys fourth. If there Is a difference In the quantity of the production from Guernseys It U caused by the large relative size of the Guernseys. With reference to butter fat in the milk Jerseys stand first���that Is to say If there Is any difference In the richness of Jersey and Guernsey milk���Ayrshires come third and Holsteins fourth. The same differences obtain between the high grades of the breeds of all these, but not quite to the same extent- American Agriculturist "Growing the full ration"���I used to dream of that. Now I say frankly I don't know. With good corn silage, alfalfa, mixed timothy and red clover, early cut; cowpeas and soy bean and crimson clover hays and cured corn for grinding If needed, It would seem that one should build a ration to the taste of the dairy queens, but when It cornea to a continued manger test and the yield at the pail net' results have appeared to always show that the cows would pay for some of the best mill byproducts.���W. F. McSparran In Ohio Farmer. The Ever Ready Food. We value the silo as a sourse of an abundant supply of cheap, succulent food for tbe winter months or seasons of drought. Silage, If properly put up, will keep for an indefinite time. We have fed It four years old as "good as new," remarks a correspondent in an exchange. It Is worth while to have it on hand ready to supply the need at any time. A Good Ration. A good ration for a dairy cow of 800 pounds should be found In forty pounds of corn silage, ten pounds of mixed hay, three pounds of wheat bran, two pounds of cornmeal and two pounds of linseed meal, according to McSparran. When the Cow Loofca Over the Fence. Nearly every dairyman has experienced the shrinkage that comes in midsummer when the pastures dry up and grass is scarce. It Is at this time that soiling will pay, and pay liberally. In what better way can a person realize from $23 to $25 per acre for his green corn or green alfalfa? When the cows look over the fence with longing eyes at the corn the efforts usually spent keeping the cows out of the corn had better be spent In throwing the corn over to the cows. The green corn, alfalfa or cane growing alongside the pasture will pay greater profits If marketed to cows In need of extra feed than If held and sold to the local grain dealer, and not only that, but it will keep up the flow of milk and will Increase the profits derived from dairying on dry feed next fall and winter. Botltled to Liberality. Cows giving forty pounds of 5 per cent milk are entitled to very liberal feeding and ought not to be expected to eat much corn stover or to fill op on silage, says a dairy expert.

Sit in the gallery of the lower boose of the Japanese national parliament and observe thence tbe new force that civilization and education have loosed upon the rest of the world. The chamber is about as large as the house of representatives at Washington, comfortable, convenient and planned for business. The members sit at desks facing the speaker's high dais midway of the .'ong side of the room. Ten or twelve members wear the almost obsolete native costume; the others are garbed like Europeans. You iwill notice first of all that these men do not sleep, like members of the British house, or read or write or transact at the desks their private business, like the representatives at Washington. They listen to every word of every speech. They are liberal of applause and dissent. Everything that Is said seems to mean something to them. There are no long, dreary harangues nnd no permission to print in the ltec- ord. Members that address the house mount a rostrum just below and in front of the presiding officer. Their speeches are short, sharp, direct and full of point. Often they are witty /and very often eloquent, but never are they entered for endurance prize. You observe the faces intent upon the speakers, the lines of long, strong, square jawed, brown faces, and it, startles you to reflect that the powerful, Indomitable nation of which this grave deliberative assembly Is the symbol has been created In fifty years from the least promising of materials; that In fifteen years It has been lifted to the front ranks among peoples; that all the world has been amazed by Its performances.

Plutocrat Master of England's High Social Circles and Begin* Now to Dictate Terms Therein. H. B. Marriott Watson, the English author, writes: Plutocracy spells snobbery always. The class which has established itself on top always will receive deference from the class which Is struggling up to gain admission to those ranks. There Is no hope of admission to them without m >ney, and hence plutocracy means snobbery. As we are the most plutocratic nation 'n Europe, we are also the most snobbish. If one wished to be amiable one might plead tha>t the snob Is by way of being an Idealist. He reveres a social status which he does not possess. In comparison with Otrtaln other fallings characteristic of other nations than ours our national weakness may be considered venial. Snobbishness Is not crime. But, on the other hand, It Is one of the most offensive properties to the superficial eye of the observer of social life. "Tommy," said Byron of Moore, "dearly loves a lord." Ypur sn'ib denrly loves a lord. But that Is a detail In his character, for he has a perfect social code hy which he directs his life. Ho has been In existence so long now that he has organised himself. He has become almost respeotable by reason of his antiquity, And Ills opinions and Ideals have obtained currency In nil classes of the community, They have tainted the once Independent anil autocratic views otf the aristocracy. However stupid the aristocracy might be, It at least developed Its own Ideals and hublts In former days. To-day It lias accepted the traditions of lhe snub. To the snob (und tin-nigh him to the English social world generally) It Is essential to have gone to a public school. One recalls Du MiiurlerS picture of Sir Oorglus Midas regretting he hud not had the advantages of Eton to the duke, and his grace In turn regretting that he had. The public school has been taken over by the snob. In the famous Victorian days there were pursuits definitely barred to "gentlemen," who must either enter army or navy or become banister or pars in or doctor If In want of a profession. But changing times have changed all that, although the snob sllll has his preferences. These professions arc the "safest"; they convey respectability, The snob remains with us with certain altered characteristics. Once he aspired to reach an aristocracy which was by no means founded on wealth, and hLs aim was thus not wholly Ignoble. But the wealth of the middle class has contaminated society, and the old Ideals have been supplanted by the now Ideal of money. Plutocracy reigns .supreme and unashamed In London society, and the sn >b no longer merely loves a lord; he loves a wealthy man. If one Is to judge hy the papers, London society Is made up of Americans and continentals. Occasionally English names appear, but the cosmopolitan element bulks largest In Importance. The cosmopolitanism of society only became possible by reason of the snob. He pushes his way In, and the s iclal circles which once would have been shut against him open to receive him warmly. The plutocrat is master of the situation and is beginning to dictate terms. It is he now (or she) who 'breeds Independent opinions and starts new fashions and generally Imposes his (or her) will on society. AMAZING WEDDING. Couple Married In London While Living on Continent. Inquiries by the Zurich police have I brought io light an extraordinary slory ; of the alleged marriage in a London I church of a couple who at the time ! were on the Continent. M. Blaiek and his wife, the latter of | Austrian nationality, were recently arrested at Zurich as dangerous Anarchists. Investigations resulted In the discovery that the couple had been married by a remarkable method. They sent papers relating to themselves to a friend In London, who, It is stated, took them to a clergyman, with the result that the marriage ceremony was celebrated, although the bride and bridegroom were at Zurich. English marriage laws have become notorious In Switzerland, adds our correspondent, and the term "married In England'' is one of reproach. It Is possible that an explanation of our correspondent's message may be found In the unscrupulous personation by paid agents of the couple who desired a record of their English marriage. The marriage laws of many Continental countries impose restrictions not known In Britain, such, fur Instance, as considerable length of residence and the consent of parents. Hero, with a residence of under a month, It is quite possible to be married, and such marriage being confirmed by the foreign consul Is binding 'ii the country from which tho visitors come. Hundreds of couples visit England for the purpose of a speedy marriage. It Is quite possible, therefore, that an unscrupulous agent In London might procure two persons representing themselves as the couple whose papers were in his possession to go through the marriage ceremony. When It was completed, the papers and evidence relating to the marriage might bo forwarded to the real couple, who have all the time been on the Continent. BENEFICENT MICROBES. 1 Famous British Scientist Eulogises Their Virtue*. A discourse on beneficent microbes was delivered by the famous scientist, j Sir Michael Foster, at the opening of the new bacteriological laboratory presented to tho Rothumstead experimental station by Mr. J. F. Mason, M. P. Sir Michael thinks that bacterlologl- ' cat research may show that microbes, | so far from being enemies of human- '��� Ity, play an Important part In provld- ! Ing the nation's food. t He declared that In the work at Rothamstcad there had hitherto been a lack of any study of the part which microbes play In the work of the soil and tho plant. We heard a good deal, he said, of microbes which were our very good friends, and some of the best of them were those working silently and unseen In the soil. The struggle for existence was fundamentally a struggle for nitrogen, and there were microbes in -the soli which were making the nitrogen of the air eatable by humanity. "Thanks to Mr. Mason's gift," continued Sir Michael, "I hope that much light will be thrown on the action of microbes In producing our natural food." AMBULANCE DOGS. Four-Legged Recruits For Red Cross Service In England. The value of ambulance dogs in time of war was demonstrated at the annual inspection of the Royal Army Medical Corps (volunteers), by Col. Sloggett, In Hyde Park. Three dogs train for the purpose by Major Richardson, of Forfarshire, were put through a variety Of experimental work In finding "wounded" soldiers, and the trials proved most effective. The animals run about with loud bells on their neck, and protected from being fired on by wearing a saddle with a large Geneva red cross. They proceed in advance of the stretcher- bearers, and on discovering a patient sit down to "mark" or watch him till the ambulance arrives. Dogs trained by Major Richardson were extensively used by the Russians In the war In Manchuria, and they were pronounced to be particulaily useful. The excellent ambulance Instincts of the degs was of great Interest to a large crowd, who keenly regarded every detail of their movements. Major Richardson was warmly congratulated on the success of the exhibition. Two of the men of the corps fainted on arriving in the park after their long march from headquarters In Cray's Inn road, and had to be medically attended by their comrades. Hot Culemlnred Paper. "Hot calendared" paper is made by passing the finished product between hot rollers, which iron the paper and give a finish and polish that can be secured in no other way. Sir David Wilkie. In the June Issue of The Strand, says a correspondent to T. P. Weekly, there is an article on "Artists' Models," particularly In reference to cases wliere men have sat for women and vice versa. One of the Illustrations given ts "Wllkle's Fiddler," and In the legend underneath the picture we are told that the old woman In it (no doubt referring to the fiddler's wife) was taken from the actor's own head by means of a mirror. Now, the head that was Uius got by Wllkle Is that of the servant girl, who Is leaning on the back of her mistress' chair and grinning at the antics of young hopeful with the bellows and the poker, who Is imitating the fiddler. An excellent likeness of Wilkie It Is, He was rot what might 'be called a pretty man, his face being the typical Scotch one, and that, as James Bos- well said when first Introduced to Dr. Johnson, was a thing which he could not help; but to suppose that the coarso, almost brutal-looking face of the fiddler's wife was drawn from his own Is nothing short of a libel on the artist. It Is told with reference to this very figure In the picture that a lady friend of the artist, visiting his studio while the picture was In progress, remarked, '���'Man, you've made the fiddler's wife very ugly." "Well, madam," was the artist's reply, "fiddlers' wives are not, as a rule, up to a very high standard of beauty." I might Just add that the figure of the man cracking his fingers to amuse the child in the same picture Is said to have been drawn from Mac- ready."

A correspondent of The Embro Courier Is out with a suggestion In regard to placing the names of owners or occupants of farms where they may bo seen by passers-by. He says; "Let each municipal council empower tho path master to reduce the number of days by one day's work, to any who put up their name In neat and plain manner at the road, and It would soon bo done. Anybody would sooner do that than a day's work. Where they do not have statute labor, each man might be entitled to a rebate of, say, one dollar In taxes, after putting up his board, the board In both cases to be maintained from year to year without any additional cost. What a lot of directing and mistakes it would prevent, and what Interest it would add to travel to know where people lived." Buy Hair at Auction?

Getting on a sand liar is a part of the Yukon programme, aud we reached this act early In the afternoon of the first day. The river is constantly changing, and a new channel Is made each year. All steamers carry huge poles, known as shears, or sometimes called "ships' legs." When a sand bar is struck tbe pole is dropped off the side and stands upright In the sand. A pulley is attached at the top, the engine is started and the boat lifted and swung forward six or eight feet. This process is repeated until the vessel is clear of the bar. During the jumping off process the passengers are sent aft in order to lift the bow. When somebody stupidly asked the captain how long we were going to stay at this point he answered, "Anywhere from an hour to a week." We were lucky in being fast for only two hours. The Selkirk, which followed a day later, spent the entire night on the same obstruction. Soundings were taken with a gaudily painted pole, which suggested a Fourth of July pole vaulting exhibition. The man who did the measuring had a singsong way of speaking, and he constantly drawled, "Two feet ���two and a half���three feet���no bottom���four feet," until we were In deep water. Late In the afteruoou we teached Lake La Barge. Here the Ice was from ten to eighteen Inches thick and spread from shore to shore like a great field of snow. We pushed on, while the sharp lee pounded savagely against the hull, which was built of inch and a half planks. It scraped uud cut the sides of the boat and buckled and formed little ice mountains over the lake. We ran slower and slower until, after cutting through five miles, the captain decided that we could go no farther In safety, so the Casca tied up at an uninhabited island to wait until the sun and wind should cause the ice to break. The mosquitoes welcomed us and came aboard by the thousand. Some of the passengers rushed ashore and built a huge fire out of old logs in order to protect themselves from the pests; others climbed to the top of a h"l and sat In a row like so many owls. All day Sunday we waited. The crew carried logs aboard aud built an Ice plow for the boat. After twenty-four hours' delay we cast off aud went luto the Ice. The river Is tortuous and muddy, and In many places the current runs nine miles au hour. Narrow gorges are entered, and at Five Fiuger rapids we were treated to the sensation of running the rapids between rocks scarcely twice the width of our boat apart. This place is considered extremely dangerous, and boats coming up the river, In order to avoid being dashed against the rocks, pick up a cable fastened on shore for that purpose and by winding It around the capstan pull themselves up the rapids���Mrs. C.

The necessity of both beauty and strength In life, and the Imperfection ot life when either of those qualities is lacking, worn the Central thoughts of an Interesting and Impressive sermon by Itev. Prof, wilier, nf S:m Francisco, at St. Andrew's Church, Toronto, on a recent Sunday. Thp thoughts of tho sermon were suggested by the building "f tho pillars In Ihe porch of Solomon's temple, as described In the seventh chapter of first Kings, part of the twenty-second verse, reading, "And upon the top of the pillars was lily work." "In those pillars strength was topped by beauty, and the useful ended In the graceful,'1 said the speaker, "Those were tho heroic days of labor; the course of all our work to-day Is that we have lost the Idea of Hod In It. The highest conception of religion Is the getting of It Into lowly things, and woik faithfully done Is worship. In our day there Is great desire for the Illy work without the pillars; thousands of men would like to have the virtues of their fathers, but I hey have not their fathers' faith. These are the days in which many want tho beauty without the work of putting In the solid foundation." "The decay of principles to-day," continued Mr. Wilier, "is alarming to all but the flippant. I wonder what wo would do if we had lhe slave question to settle to-day We sing, 'Onward, Christian Soldiers,' but much of our singing of that hymn Is a mockery. This Is a generation which yields Itself to trifles light as air. This age tolerates religious life, but the religious man li not supposed to give expression to his convictions." Dealing with the other side of th* subieof, that Is, that strength alone Is not sufficient, the preacher pointed out that nature shaped Itself to loveliness, and that beauty was Inwrought In all Us patterns. The world owed much to the Purltars, but a higher type of man was he who put his zeal Into force with tenderness, gentleness and refinement. S >me men were so conscientious that they exhibited diabolical qualities, and some business men conducted their business so punctiliously that, In spite of their honesty, nobody like them. There were some such people whom we wanted to "meet In heaven," but did not want to meet very often on earth. Lack of beauty In life was as much a sin against Christ as was lack of strength, said the preacher. Christ combined strength and beauty, and It was for the people dt to-day to follow His example. History gave examples of great men of the same age, some of whom had showed great strength, and the others strength combined with beauty. Napoleon had been mighty with his sword, and had convulsed a continent, but Scott had been mighty with his pen and had found "sermons In stones, books in thp running brooks, and good in everything." In 1871 Napoleon's monument had been hurled down, but In the same year Scott's had been wreathed in flowers. Carlyle had had a powerful and profound Intellect, and had been a good hater, but Ruskln had In- zarnated in his life tho beauty of whloh he wrote. rutchener's Sarcasm. During Lord Kitchener's recent Visit to the Indian frontier defences he inspected a new fort. He was astonished to find that It had been so placed as to be commanded by a nearby hi", The officer who had chosen the site was present with the party, and Kitchener called him forward.

One of the boys of Oundle School accomplished a during feat recently. Without the aid of mechanical appliances of any kind he climbed to the top of the spire of Oundle Church, 250 feet high. The boy climbed by ths aid of the stone crochets, or projections, on the steeple, and to piove he had accomplished the feat he tied his handkerchief to the weather vane. Twenty years ago another pupil of the school named Bailey���now a well- known doctor���climbed the steeple and Med his bootlace to the vane. When he came down he received a sound thrashing and a sovereign from Mr. Reade, the headmaster. Hla Sharp Retort. One day as Pat halted at the top of the river bank a man famous for bis Inqulsitlveness stopped and asked, "How long have you hauled water for the village, my good man?" "Tin years, sor." "Ah, how many loads do you take In a day?" "From tin to fifteen, sor." "Ah, yes; now I have the problem for you. How much water at this rate have you h'uled In all, sir?" The driver of tho watering cart jerked his thumb backward toward the river and replied, "All the water you don't see there now, sor."���Philadelphia Lodger.

One of the most pleasing as well as most touching evidences of the existence of the Christian spirit between churches, and coming from a quarter where, according to theological traditions, such things should be last looked for, is reported from Sandon1, The Methodist minister at Sandon recently returned to his appointment plus a bride, nnd a most enthusiastic welcome was prepared by the people of Snndon for the event. Among those who took part in the welcome exercises was a newspaper man, the enterprising editor of the Slocan Mining Review. The striking feature of the performance is reported in the Review us follows: "Rev. Father I). Jeaimotte then said he was called upon to fulfil a most pleasing duly, which consisted of presenting to (he bride and bridegroom a small token of great regard from the Catholics of Snndon. He trusted God ���would bless their union, and they would enjov a long and prosperous life." The only comment that appears necessary on such an occasion is that made once before���some thousands of years ago, we believe���when a man who must have seen something like it said " Behold how good and pleasant a thing it is to see brethren dwelling together in unity."���-Canadian. [Ed.���Yes, 'Brer Baor. It is these little breaths of human kindness which make the whole Christian church akin. When propounded of tho Scriptures forget minute controversial points and follow the crumple of Sandon's veritable Father O'l'lynu and other ministers here, then will the " Reunion of Christendom " be one step nearer consummation.
