The editor left on Monday for the east to supervise the production of a special number of the Review. This special will be produced by a Toronto firm who are making a specialty of this class of work. He will be absent about three weeks, and.during his absence Mr. J. Atherton will look alter the business nnd mechanical ends of the paper. Rev. Fr.

Both held very responsible positions with the C.P.R., the former as Agent at R'sebery, and the latter ns loadinaster, and as both are mechanics of ability tlieir future in ���assured. The district could ill afford to lose two such line fellows and we hope they'll make a million apiece. A. 0. Ostby iB shortly leaving for Prince Rupert. Mike Ryan was the victim this week of a nasty accident at the Ottawa mine. He was working in the drift when some of the roof fell and imprisoned hiB hand, which when released were minus one finger and another very badly lacerated, so badly that it is feared it will have to be amputated. Ryan was brought lo dock Saturday afternoon and Dr. Rrouse made the repairs. Geo. F. Ransom and Geo. Weinant have secured a lease on the Ruby Silver, a rich property in the McGuigan Basin. The hot wealher is with us and many New Denverites are having their annual in the lake. The water is still rising. Tiiere can not be much satisfaction in ''goiii' around and hckin' the editor" when Ihe latter not only makes copy out of the encounter, but pictures himself as the hero as well. The following vivid pen pietnie is taken from the editorial columns of an Iowa journal: "There was a blow. Somebody fell. We got up. Turning upon our antagonist, we succeeded in winding his arms around our waist and by a quick manoeuvre threw him on top of us, bringing our back, at the same time, in conduit with the solid bed of the printing press, Then inserting our nose between liis teeth, and cleverly entangling his hands in our hair, we had him!" Stege vs. Thorpe and Nelson was an action for the recovery of %\2 balance of a board bill owing by tlie latter, brought before Justices Smith and A. Mclnnes at New Denver last Saturday, Both men had left the town and weie arrested at Silverton but th|jy den'ed any intention of jumping the country without paying their board bill. The magistrates bound them over to pay tlieir debt in ten days. Cul. R. T. Lowery left for Greenwood Friday. There was a fireworks display on Saturday night. The balance oi the goods left over from the celebration on May 25th were ignited for the benefit cf a large number of citizens. G. W. Martin was injured on Monday last, whilst working at. Wilson creek, by a rock which had become dislodged, falling down the hillside, and striking him on the knee, but beyond a severe braising and the limb being much swollen, the injury was found to be nothing serious, and he hopes to resume work in a text days. A fine specimen of Mason & Ritoh's celebrated pianofortes call bo seen (by kind consent), at Missionary Baynes's residence, by appointment. Harry Lowe, Arthur Ilendiickson, and Jink Ilolden left on Tuesday to stmt work on the Silver Hell. Jack McGrath left for Vancouver on Monday to tnke up his new location at Fuimew, Vancouver. Messrs. Towgood of Sandon are going stiong with tlieir pnek train whicli now exceeds twenty quadrupeds, and will shortly comprise more. On Wednesday evening W, Eccles saw a bear down the by-track, and although he shouted "Gee!" and "Ha!" it did not seem disturbed. Qnly being aimed with a candlestick Mr. Eccles thought discretion tlie better pait of valor,.so allowed Bruin to depart with a whole pelt. Mr. N. F. McNaught wishes to publicly expieas his tnanks to the person who fonml a letter addressed to him, on the Silverton road, and remailed it to him. Mrs. A. H'oiidiii, who has been spending a holiday during the past two weeks with Mr. and Mrs. J. Wereley, returned to h r home at Nakusp on Monday. Percy Wells left on Wednesday for Carberry, Man., to join his relatives. Mrs. A. Atherton and son, who have been spending a hoiiday with their namesakes, left on Saturday for their home at Calgary. A. D. Watkins, employed at thc Rosebery shipyard, is laid up in the hospital wilh a sprained ankle, and it will be several days before he will be able to be about. Louis Scaia had the misfortune to have his leg Injured and ankle sprained by a slide of rock at Rosebery on Monday last, and although the injury is not serious, it will lay hlm up for some time. The services in the Methodist churches at New Denver and Silverton will be withdrawn next Sabbath, as Mr. Gifford will preach that day at Nakusp, The members and friends of the Methodist clinch, New Denver, will give a strawberry and ice cream festival on ihe lawn of Mr. and Mrs. St. Clair Brindle, on Wednesday afternoon and evening, July 8th. Further particulars will be announced later. HUNTING PARTY RETURNS. HIGHLY SATISFIED WITH THEIR EXPEDITION. INTEND COMING AGAIN NEXT SPRING. On the 10th May, a party, comprising Mr. H. G. Rowe and Dr. Freeman, both from Ohio, and guided by R. M. Cook, of New Denver, proceeded to Wilton creek lor the purpose olhunl ing grizzly. The party made for above tho falls and after seven or eight days beating round came upon a liear which fell a victim to the rifle of Mr, Rowe. During the next few days throe more bears were sighted and added to the bag. Of the four, two were black and two brown, all in splendid condition, one of the bears being ol unusual size. A most enjoyable month was spent, both gentlemen expressing themselves as highly satisfied with their outing. Although they were not successful in adding a grizzly to their bag, they were loud in tlieir praises as to the district being a splendid locality for hunting, and intend coming back next spring with two more friends. Mr. Cook, as guide and general factotum, says both were very good in the hills, being first-class sportsmen and rustlers. m ' A young grizzly cub accompanied the party back to the States and will doubtless be the hero of many anecdotes regarding the hunt.

Mr. Morgan McGrath, of the Vancouver mine, went to Nelson on Wednesday. He returns to Silverton the end of this week. Mrs. Malcolm McKenzie returned to Silverlon last week, after spending a few days at her home at Slocan City. Billie Mills is leasing the Preston mine and has a good showing of ore. Billie Lawson who has been spending the past five months in the east is expected to arrive here the latter end of this month. Pat Harding went to Sandon last week where he goes to work at the Silver Bell. Mr. Peter McLarren, who spent last winter in Silverton, left a few days ago for his home In Prince Edward Island to join his family. Mr. McLar- len has been in this country for the past five years and has made many friends who extend him good wishes for a safe journey home. Mr. Wm. Berton, of the Vancouver mine, made a trip to Nelson last week. Last week D. Grant shipped several tons of zinc, which he has been boiling over, awaiting a good price. The Alpha mine, under the management of White and McNaught is looking very promising. Several men are at work and it is the general opinion that it will be one of she mines in the not far distant future. J. H. McAulay and family intend taking a trip to his homo in P.E.I,, some time next month. Thorpe and Co., photographers, are now located in Silveiton and are doing a good business. They have .aheady ordered a large canvas tent which will be to hand in a fow days. They will then be in a position to give the latest photographic touches to their work' Rev. Fr. Jeannotte spent most of last week in Silverton looking after his gardens. He has employed Bob Suther- lank to do considerable repair work on his house. S'lverton is a busy spot at present. A number of men under the direction of the Silverton Progressive association are at work laying new sidewalks On both sides of Main street, and on se veal side streets in the town. Silverton has decided not to hold their annual celebration tbis year. Owing to the town having a lot of other responsibilities in the line of repair work, it was feared that a sura sufficient lo make the event equal to those of the past, could not be realized. Gordon McLennan, of Rosebery, made a flying trip to Silverton last week. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Malloy are spending a holiday this week. Bruce MacAuIay went to work in the Hewict mill a few days ago. D. Grant and Sam Watson went to Nelson on a business trip last week. Charles Gill went to work at the Buffalo last week after spending a pleasant holiday in Silverton. The Hewitt mine, which has been under course of repairs for some weeks started work the first day of this week The Howard Fraction. L. G. Kelium, representing the Wabash Gas Colnpany of Pittsburg, owners of the Howard Fraction group, is prospecting the claims and inspecting the work that has been in progress for over a year under the management of J. M. M. Benedum. The crosscut tunnel has now reached a distance of over 700 feet, and it is expected that lhe rich Howard Fraction vein will be cut at a depth of about 800 feet before the tunnel shall have been driven another hundred feet. Tne Howard Fraction ore is quartz, carrying less than one per cent, of pyrites associated with argentrite, and 1*50 tons of the sorted ore was sold to the smelters in 1895-6 lor $15,000, about one- fourth of the value being gold, and the balance silver. But, as the vein dips into Ihe hill at an angle of about 80 degrees, the raining, in an incline shaft was expensive and necessarily shallow, and no mining has been done on the claims since '96, till this tunnel was started. As there are numerous claims of the same character of ore and other c.on- ditiius, in the Howard Fraction district, all of which have been hold on faith and little work for a dozen years, it is expected that a revival of mining on an extensive scale wou'd follow the discovery of rich ore in this Howard Enaction crosscut. Accordingly no work in Slocan camp is watched with more interest.

Program will commence at 8*15 p.m. Wisconsin Capitalists Put up $30,000 to Complete Saw Mill at Summit Lake. During the past week, a bunch of ���eviill men from Rhineland, Wis., have been quietly touring the Slocan looking for business openings, and when on Thursday last, thee gentlemen got off the train at Summit, there was much speculation as to the nature of their business. Perfect strangers to this part of tlie country, they looked around and listened lo what everybody had to say and eventually they paid a vi.it to Ihe partly constructed saw mill owned by G. F. Robertson, which was built under the firm name of the Summit Lumber Company. Being the only place in town where a number of men could be bunked for the night, Mr. Robertson, in typical western style, entertained his guests. It is but natural when a number of business men get together that the "Almighty iron" should be the predominant note in the conversation, and tliey learned from Mr. Robertson how he was at pres.nt handicapped by lack of finances, and how the people who had promii-ed to see the thing through had failed him. The next morning Mr. Robertson was met by Messrs. McEnchern, Smith, and Brown, three of the guests, and these gentlemen offered to subscribe the necessary $80,000 spot cash and take over the residue of the stock. Everything was all satisfactorily settled the same day, and the new saw mill will be completed as soon as hands can do it. The new syndicate own fourteen limits around Summit Lake which will keep the mill running for some time. Mr. Robertson told our reporter that he has orders in front of him that will take a year to fill and that the new mil 1 will be in operation by the middle of July. The mill has a capacity of 40,000 a day and it will mean that not less than forty men will find employment fn a few weeks. The C. P. R. made a change wliich took effect on Monday that is not meeting with approval. The tri-weekly service between Sandon and New Denver has again been altered, and the company has cut off the morning service altogether. In future the train from Rosebery will make one trip a day to Sandon, and that in the evenings of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The Fishery inspectror, inttead of bothering his head for the present about re-stocking the lakes, should pay attention to the sawmills along the shores of Arrow Lake. One in particular at Pings ton creek has a huge sawdust dump that is now half under water. The effect on the lives of fish is too palpable to need fuither talk. A man, a desk, a telephone, Another man, they two alone, A big prospectus, an assay, A mine, two thousand miles away. Photos of three hydraulic muckers, Ah, gentle spring's the timef.rsuckers! Great excitement was caused the other day to some lonely dwellers between New Denver and Sandon, when two bears and a cub were sighted peacefully feeding on the young shoots a few yards above the track. Not haying been supplied with arms by the defence committee of the colony, it was found that only one person had a rifle, so the others retired to a coign of vantage, (aloft), and proceeded to give instructions to the army below. Now bear shooting is not exaotly the same thing as target shooting, but still, a bear is a fairly good sized bullseye, and the spectators were highly inter- sated by some good volley firing; iu fact they seemed more excited tban tba living target which would not be driven off fhe Held until it got the cub into a place of safety. There are still two bears and a cub awaiting their end somewhere higher up the elide. A deer got into Mr. Harris' orchard* the other day and was regaling itself on the young cherry trees when the owner was made aware of the fact and promptly proceeded to the spot with a gun and dispatched it. Venison must make a very acceptable dish just now. The following are the assessments recorded for June: Mascot, by M. Kirlin; Elk Fraction, O. V. White; Lady Aberdeen, O. V.

C. ���in i i.i REFUGEES By A. CONAN DOUE. Author of "The Return o. Sherlock Holme." CopyrlKlit, 1893, by Harper __ Brothers (Continued) CriAPTI*:.. IV. IOUIS had walked1 on to his devotions in no very charitable g frame of mind, us was easily to be seen from his clouded brow and compressed lips. He knew his lute favorite well, her impulsiveness, her audacity, her lack of all restraint wheu thwarted or opposed. She wiis capable of making a hideous scandal, of turning against him that bitter tongue which had so often made him laugh at the expense of others, perhaps even of making some public exposure which would leuve hlm the butt and gossip of Europe. He shuddered at the thought. At all costs such a catastrophe must be averted. And yet how could he cut the tie which bound them? This woman would Struggle hard, light to thc bitter end, before she would quit the position which was so dear to her. She spoke of her wrongs. What were her wrongs? In his Intense selfishness, nurtured by. the eternal Mattery wliich wus the very air he breathed, he could uot see that the fifteen years of her life which ho hnd absorbed or the loss of the husband whom he had supplanted gave her uny claim upou him. Iu his view he had raised her to the highest position which a subject could occupy. Now he was weary of her, and It was her duty to retire with resignation��� uny, even with gratitude for past favors. She should have a pension, and thc children should be cared for. What could u reasonable woman ask for more? On the whole, his conscience acquitted hlm. But In this one matter he hud beeu lux. From the lirst coming of his gentle nnd forgiving young wife from Spain he had never once permitted her to be without a rival. Now that she was dend the matter was no better. One favorite had succeeded another, aud If De Montespan hnd held her own so loug it wns ruther from her audacity than from his affection. But now Fnther la Chaise and Bossuet were ever reminding him thnt he had topped the summit of his life and was already upon thnt downward path which lends to the grnvo. The time had come for gravity and for calm, neither of which wns to be expected In the company of Mme. de Montespan. But he had found out where they were to be enjoyed. From the dny .when De Montespan had Introduced the stntely nnd silent widow ns a governess for his children ho had found a never falling aud ever Increusing pleasure In her society. For a time he had thought that her piety and her talk of principle might be a mere mask, for he was accustomed to hypocrisy all round hlm. It wns surely unlikely ttint a womnu who wns still beautiful, with ns bright nn eye and as graceful a figure as any lu his court, could after a life spent In the gayest circles preserve the spirit of a nun. But on this point he was soon undeceived, for when his own language had become warmer thnn that of friendship he had been met by an leiucss of mnnner and n brevity of speech which hud shown him that there wus one woman at least iu his dominions who hnd a higher respect for herself than for him. And perhaps It wns better so. The plncld pleasures of friendship were very soothing after the storms of pnssion. To sit In her room every nfteruoon, to listen to talk which wus not tainted with flattery nnd to hear opinions which were not framed to please his ear were the occupations now of his happiest hours. And then her Influence over him was all so good! And now he knew thut the time had come when he must choose between her nnd De Montespan. Their Influences were antagonistic. They could not continue together. He stood be tween virtue and vice, and he must choose. Such were the thoughts which ran through (he king's bend ns ho bent over the rich crimson cushion which topped his priedieu of carved onk. He knelt'Tn his own inclosure to tho right of the nltnr, with his gunrds nnd bis Immediate household around hlm, whll' Hie court, ladles and cavaliers, filled tlie chapel. Piety wns a fashion now, like dnrk overconts nnd Inco cravats and no courtier was so worldly mlndec us not to hnve hud a touch of gruet since the king had taken to religion. It was the habit of Louis as he walked back from the chapel to receive petitions or to listen to any tales of wrong which his subjects might bring to hlm. On this particular morning there were but two or three���a Parisian who conceived himself injured by the provost of his guild, a peasnnt whose cow hnd been torn by n lnints- iniiu's dog uud u farmer who hud hnd hurd usage from his feudul lord. A few questions nnd then n hurried order to his sccretury disposed of each case. He wns about to resume his way iigaiu when nn elderly mini, clud in the gurb of a respectable citizen and with a strong, deep lined face which marked him as a mnn of character, darted for- wurd und threw himself down upon one knee lu front of the monureh. "What is this?" nsked Louis. "Who nre you, nnd what is It that you Wttllt?" "I nm a citizen of Paris, and I havo been cruelly wronged." "You seem a very worthy person. If you have indeed been wronged you shall have redress. What huve you to complain of?" . . "Twenty of the Blue dragoons of Languedoe nre quartered In my house, with Captain Dalbert nt their bond. They have devoured my food, stolen my property and benten my servants, yet the mugistrates will give uie- no redress." "On my life, justice seems to be administered In n strnrige fushlon ln our city of Purls!" exclulnied the king. "And yet there may be a very good reason for it," suggested Pero la Chaise. "I would suggest that your majesty should ask this man his nnme, his business nnd why It wus thnt the dragoons were quartered upon him." "You hear the reverend futher's question." "ITy name, sire, is Catlnat, by trade I am a merchant in cloth, and I am treated In this fashion because 1 am of the Reformed church." The king shook his head and his brow darkened. "You have only yourself to thank, then. The remedy ls in your hands." "And how, sire?" "By embracing the only true faith." "I am alrendy n member of It, sire." The king stamped his foot angrily. "I can see that you are a very insolent heretic," said he. "There is but one church in France, and that is my church. If you are outside that you cannot look to me for aid." "My creed Is that of my father, sire, and that of my grandfather." "If they have sinned it Is no reason why you should. My own grandfather erred also before his eyes were opened." "But he nobly atoned for his error," murmured tho Jesuit. "Then you will not help me, sire?" "You must flrst help yourself." The old Huguenot stood up with a gesture of despair, while the king continued on his way, the two ecclesiastics ou either side of him murmuring their approval Into his ears. But the king bore the face a man who was not absolutely satistied with bis own action. "You do not think, then, that these people have too hard a measure?" said he. "1 hear that they are leaviug my kingdom in great numbers." "And surely It Is better so, sire, for what blessing can come upou a country which hns such stubborn Infidels Within Its boundaries?" "Those who are traitors to God can scarce be loyal to the king," remarked "J can see that you arc a very Insolent heretic," said he. Bossuet. "Your majesty's power would be greater if there were no temple, as they cnll their dens of heresy, withiu your dominions." "My grandfather bus promised them protection. They are shielded, as you well kuow, by the edict which he gave at Nantes." "But It lies wilh your mnjesty to undo the mischief thut bus beeu done." "And how?" "By reeulling the edict." "And driving into the open arras of my enemies 2,000,000 of my best artisans and of my bravest servants. How say you, Louvois?" "With all respect to the church, sire, I would say that the devil has given these men such cunning of baud nnd >f bruin thnt they nre the best workers and traders lu your majesty's king- lom. I know not how the stnte coffers ire to be filled If such taxpayers go trom among us." "But," remarked Bossuet, "If It were mce known that the king's will had )een expressed jour majesty may rest assured that even the worst of his subjects bear hlm such love thnt they would hasten to come within the pule of the holy church." The king shook his bend. "They hnve always been stubboru folk," suid he. "Perhaps," remarked Louvois, glnnc- Ing maliciously nt Bossuet, "were the bishops of France to make an offering to the state of the treasures of their sees we might theu do without these Hugueuot taxes." "The kingdom Is mine nnd nil that, ls iu It," remnrked Louis ns thej entered the grand sulon in wliich the court assembled nfter chapel, "yet X trust that It may be long before I nave to claim wealth of the church. Where Is Mansnrd? I must see his pluns for the new wing nt Marly." "I think." snid Pere hi Clmlse, drawing Bossuet aside, "lhnt your grace has mnde some impression upon the king's mind." "With your powerful assistance, father." "But there Is another who has more weight than I���Mine, de Miuiilenou." "1 hear Hint she Is very devout." "Very. But she has no love for my order. Sue Is a SulplclUlL Yet we may nil work to one end. Now, If .vou were to speak to her, your grade. Show her how good u serVlce It Would be could she bring about���'tlie banishment of the Huguenots." .... .* "1 shall do so." ,,. ."And offer her in return that we will promote"��� He bent forward and whispered into the iirclale's ear. "What! He would not do it." "And why? The queen. Is dead." "The widow of the poet Searront" "She Is of good liirth. Her grandfather und his were dear friends. If she will serve the church, the church will serve her. But the king beckons, and I must go." The tli in dark figure hastened on through the throng of courtiers, and the grent bishop of Meuux remained standing with his chin upon his breast, sunk In reflection. CHAPTER V. THE elderly Huguenot had stood silent after his repulse by the king, with his eyes cast moodily downwurd nnd a fnce In which doubt, sorrow nnd nnger contended for the mastery. He was a very large, gaunt mnn, rnwboned and haggard, with a wide forehead, a large, fleshy nose aud a powerful chin. He was dressed as became his rank, plain- ly and yet well, In a sad colored brown kersey.coat with silver ailated buttons. _.nee" oreecUes of the same and white woolen stockings, ending lu broad toed black leather shoes cut across with a great steel buckle. Ills doubts as to what his next step Bhould be were soon resolved for him in a very summary fashion. These were days when, if the Huguenot was not absolutely forbidden In France, he ' was nt least looked upon as.a mau who existed upou sufferance, nnd who was unshielded by the laws wliicb protected his Catholic fellow subjects. For twenty years the stringency of the persecution hnd increased until there wns no weapon which'bigotry could employ, short of absolute expulsion, which had not been turned against hlm. Two of the king's big blue coated guardsmen were on duty at that side of the palace nnd hnd been witnesses to his unsuccessful nppeal. Now they tramped across together to where he was standing and broke brutally into the current of his thoughts. "Now, Hymnbooks," snid one gruffly, "get off ngnin nbout your busluess." The old Huguenot shot a glance of anger and contempt at them and was turning to go wheu one of them thrust at his ribs with the butt end of his hnlberd. "Tnko that, you dog!" he cried. "Would you dare -to look like that at the king's guard?" "Children of Bellnl!" cried the old mnn, with his hnnd pressed to his side, "were 1 twenty yenrs younger you would not hnve dnred to use me so." "Hn, you would still spit your venom, would you? That ls enough, Andre! Ho has threatened the king's gunrd. Let us seize him nnd drag hlm to the guardroom." The two soldiers dropped their halberds and rushed upon the eld mnn, but, tall nud strong as they were, they found It no eusy mutter to secure hlm. They hnd hardly won their pitiful victory, however, before a stern voice aud a sword flushing before their eyes compelled them to release their prisoner once more. It wns Captain de Cntlnnt, who, his morning duties over, had strolled out on the terrace nnd hnd come upon this sudden scene of outrage. At the sight of the old mun's face he gave n violent stnrt nnd, drawing his sword, had rushed forward with such fury that the two guardsmen not only dropped tlieir victim, but, staggering back from the threnteuing sword point, one of them slipped nnd the other rolled over bim, a revolving mass of blue cont and white kersey. "Villains!" roared De Catinat. "What is the meaning of this?" The two hnd stumbled to their feet ngain, very shamefaced and ruffled. "If you pleuse, captain," said one, saluting, "this Is a Hugueuot who abused the royal guard." "His petition had been rejected by the king, captain, nnd yet he refused to go."

On the morning of bttT tirst day la 'regular school*' Clara Barton was taken on the strong shoulders of her eldest brother. Stephen, a mile through the deep drifts to the school house. It was the winter term, and the pupHs, as was usual at that time, included not only the large boys and girls, but ln reality the young men uud youug women of the neighborhood. Little Clara, then about five, wus the buby of the school. She confesses In her book, "The Story of My Childhodd," thnt she recalls ao introduction to the teacher, but was set down among the many pupils in the by no means spacious room, with her spelling book and the traditional slate, from which no oue could separate her. "I was seated on one of the low benches and sat very still," Miss Burton remembers. "At length the majestic schoolmaster seated himself und, taking a primer, called tbe class of little ones to him. "He pointed ih.> letters to each. I named them ull and was asked to spell somo little words, 'dog,' 'cat,' etc., whereupon I hesitatingly informed hlm thut 'I did not spell there.' "'Where do jou spell?' he nsked. "i spell In "artichoke,"' that being the leading word In the three syllable column iu my speller." The schoolmaster good natiuodly conformed to the little girl's suggestion, and she wus put Into tbe "artichoke" class to bear her part for the whiter and read and "spell for the head." OFFICE DROWSINESS. It May Be the Beginning of Serious Mental Trouble. "Some meu are quite martyrs to office drowsluess," snid a physician to a patient who wus complaining of thut feeling. '"Any monotonous sound near them, the hum of traffic outside or even the scratching of u clerk's peu ls sufficient to induce a feeling of sleepiness which it is nlmost Impossible to resist. The worst' of it Is thut this symptom seldom is regarded as anything serious, though 1 have known It to be the beginning of^rllicul mental trouble. Far more often, however, It Is merely the effect of constitutional eccentricity, though in either case a few simple remedies might be tried With advantage. "For example, I always advise the old Indigestion cure���a gluss of hot water���when the feeling comes ou. To keep the eyes tightly closed for two or three minutes und then buthe them ln very warm water often gives relief nt once. And another good idea Is to lower the head for n few seconds to a level with the knees. Above all, oue should never give In to the feeling of drowsiness by taking a short nap ln the hope of waking up brighter after it At the sn nie time the condition ot the office might be looked to. The Slightest defect iu ventilation will often cause one man to be affected by office drowsiness eveu If other persons In the same room feel nothing of It whatever." The Dignified Course. An army examiner ouee had a *cnn- dldnte before bim who apparently was unable to answer the simplest question. At last the examiner lost his temper aud, with sarcastic emphusls, quite lost on the youth before him, said: "Suppose, sir, that you were a captain In command of a company of Infantry; that iu your rear was au impassable abyss; that on either side of you towered perpendicular rocks of un- traversable height; that before you stood the enemy, a hundred men to each one of yours.

Temporarily Indicuiious mny lie misleading, but it Is eventually shown thnt Its nmilysis of events Is correct. The silent puulc of March, 1U07. wns n premise of the panic of November. During the intervening seven months prices dropped steadily, showing plainly that there was a weakness in the tinaiiclal and industrial structure. The utter foolishness of blaming speculation for the downward movement ls obvious. The stock market with Its daily record of prices suld rs plainly as It was possible to say: "Danger! Stand from under!" Something slinllnr happened ln 1S93. Bradstreet's for July 29, 181.3, shows that twenty represeiitntlve Rtocks fell on nn average 45 points, or more than 50 per cent, between January and July. This mitigated the effect of the pnulc. One of the most striking illustrations of the cold blooded accuracy of the exchange Is recorded by Proudhon In the Speculator's Manual, published at Paris In 1857, in which he shows that In the Inter days of Napoleon and tbe restoration, while French patriotism wus nt while bent, prices on the bourse j advanced with encb victory of the ul- lles, reflecting the belief that the defeat of Napoleon mennt more for Franco than the success.���Johu Paul Ryan ln Metropolitan Mngnzine. ASSASSINATION OF RULERS. ROYAL SCHOOLMASTERS. Kings Who Turned to Teaching to Make a Living. In the early part of the life of King Christian IX. of Denmark there wos no prospect of his ever becoming tbe ruler, of that country. With this In view he became u schoolmaster at the German university of Halle.

During this period there were King Frederick VII. and several others In the direct line of succession that stood before Prince Christian; but, by a succession of deaths that occurred, he became the heir apparent, and after the death of King Frederick VII. ln 1863 he wns proclaimed King Christian IX. of Denmark. Another Instance of a similar nature Is tbat of Louis Philippe. During tbe time he was exiled from France, then being the Due de Cliartres, be became a teacher of mat hematics and geography In Switzerland About thirty-six or thirty-seven years afterward, on Aug. 9, 1830, he wns proclaimed King Louis Philippe of the French.���London Answers. Puzzling Differences In Weights. Which Is heavier, n pound of feathers or a pouud of lend? They weigh tho same. Which Is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of silver'/ Tbo pound of feathers Is heavier, because feathers are weighed by avoirdupois weight, whlcb has 7,000 grains to the pouud, while the precious metals are weighed by troy weight, which has oaly 5,700 grains to the pound.

In commenting on the fact that a person may be thoroughly equipped on the scientific side of music without being sentltlve to Its beauty as an art Gustuv Kobbe In his book "How to Appreciate Music" quotes the witty distinction which Edmund Clarence Stedmim draws Tn. his "Nature and Elements of Poetry" between the Indications of a storm as described by a poet nnd by the official prognostications of the weather bureau. Mr. Stedman gives two stanzas: When descends on the Atlantic the gigantic Storm wind of the equinox, Landward ln Ills wroth he scourges ths tolling* surges, Laden with seaweed from the rocks. And this stanza by a later balladlst: The en3t wind gathered, all unknown, A thick sea cloud his course before. He left by night the frozen zone And smote tho cliffs of Labrador. He lashed the coasts on cither hand, And betwixt the Cnno and Newfoundland, Into tho bays his armies pour. All this Impersonation and faiviy are transluted by the weather bureau Into something like this: "An area of extreme low pressure Is rapidly moving up tho Atlantic coast, w'.th wind aud rain. Storm center now off Charleston, S. C. Wind N. E.; velocity, 54; barometer, 29.0. The disturbance will reach New York on Wednesday and proceed eastward to the banks and bay of St. Lawrence.

No wonder a timid man like the Tsar shuts himself up in a fortified palace, and every one is constantly quoting Shakespeare's words, "Uneasy lies the head that wear a crown." And it has remained for Portugal, which, likelier neighbor Spain, has been practically free from royal assassination ��� although attempts have been made by anarchists and political regicides���to establish a sad record; for never within modern history, at an rate, have a sovereign and crown prince been murdered together. The- assassination of King Alexander nnd Queen Draga of Servia in June, 1903, is the nearest parallel to the terrible deed which has just horrified the world. How the young King disgusted his Ministers and the army, and rendered himself generally unpopular by marrying Madame Masch- in, his mother's lady-in-waiting, is too recent history to need more than a passing mention here. It is interesting to note, however, that most of the army officers who carried out the plot, and actually murdered the King and Queen in the palace, are not only alive, but still hold prominent military appointments. Moreover, they were pnid $60,000 for the deed. "throe years previous to the Servian tragedy King Humbert of Italy was slain by the anarchist liresci; while in 18(18 the cruel and utterly purposeless murder of the beautiful and gracious Empress of Austria took place. The Empress wns passing through Genevn on her return from Wiesbaden, where she had been for treatment of a heart affection, when she was stabbed with a small file-shaped stiletto, which pierced her heart. King Humbert was shot while entering his carriage, and it is un extrordinnry fact that Jie had twice previously escaped being murdered only by a hair's breadth. In Naples in 1878 a man rushed up nud tried to Rtab His Majesty with a poniard, but the King escaped with a slight scratch; while, nineteen years later, as King Humbert was driving to tlie Campanile racecourse, a workman struck nt him with a dagger. Luckily the blow wus averted. Included in the twenty-one rulers already mentioned are eight Presidents who have been assassinated, and it is a singular fact that three of them were Presidents of the United States; and they have all been murdered within the last forty-five years. First came President Lincoln in 1805, Garfield in 1881, and McKin- ley twenty years later. The murder of President Lincoln came like a thunderclap to the people of America just when they were rejoicing that the great Civil war had come to an end. Lincoln went to Ford's theatre in Washington, nnd sat with his family in a box watching the performance of "Our American Cousin," when J. Wilkes Booth, nn nctor, who with others had prepared a plot to assassinate tlie several heads of the Government, entered the box and shot the President through the brnin. He then stubbed Major Henry Rath* bone with n knife, and crying out "Sic semper tyrnnnus; the South i.* avenged!" rushed across the stage through the back door, and escaped by riding off on a horse which waF kept waiting for him. He was cap tured twelve days afterward, however and forthwith shot. President Garfield was shot, by a disappointed office seeker, while Mc Kinley, it mny be remembered, met his death nt the hands of Czolgosz, the anarchist, at the Buffalo Exposition. Four of Russia's Tsars have beer assassinated, the last being Alexander II. in 1881. Six times did assassins attempt this monarch's life. On one occasion he only escnpe.d through the barrel of the assassin's pistol bursting, while in 18GG, when the dining hall of the Winter Palace was wrecked by nn explosion proceeding from the cellars beneath, the Emperor owed his life to a breach of his usual punctuality, the company not having sat down to dinner when the explos ion took place. His Majesty's "Guardian Angel," however, was powerless agninst the Nihilists' bombs of 1831. The Emperor was returning to the Wintei Palace after a military review, when his carriage wns suddenly shattered by a bomb. Several of the escort were killed, but strangely enough the Tsai himself remained unhurt. After in quirirfg about the wounded, .His Mn jesty, with phenomenal coolnfss, continued his progress on foot. He had advanced but a few steps when nnother bomb exploded, at his feet, nnd mangled his body in the most frightful manner. He died a few hours later. From 1872 to 1^70 four rulers were assassinated���namelv. Col. Bnltn President of Peru; Moreno, President nf Ecuador: Outtierez, President o< Peru in 1172-3, and the Sultan Abdul Aziz. At the time it was given out thnt the latt'T. having gone, mid hnd committed suicide hy cutting the arteries of his n.-m; but in June. 1881 various* hish officials, including the Siilt'in's brother-in-law, were convict ed nf the murder of the Sultan.

Pimples, face sores, and the kindred eruptions common to late winter and early spring, are the worst disfigurements tlie fair sex have to bear. The indoor life of winter has caused impure matter which the skin should get rid of for the blood, to remain in the pores; tlie process of "exhalation" is interrupted; the general complexion suffers, and just where the bud matter collects, pimples, ulcers, and sores quickly appear. To remove the impurities, 'he pores must be opened and the functions of tlie skin stinn'l.'ited, liy the vigorous application of Zani-Uuk mc/.-njng and night, and washing frequently with Zam-Buk Medicinal Soup. Zam-Buk reaches the root of tlie disease by soaking through the skin and tissue nnd its powerful her* bnl juices expel disease nnd muke the skin do its work, whicli can't be done simply by the use of internal medicine. Miss Ellen Smith, of Soin- erville Ave., Toronto, snys: "My fnce wns greatly disfigured by a skin eruption which nnnoyed me dreadfully for months. I was advised to try Zam-Bul! and I am glad I did for it quickly removed the trouble and my face is now clear of nil eruptions." Zam-Buk contains no niiimiil fat whatever, but is n pure healing salve.

Roth- -icbild was not blessed wltb good looks nnd had, moreover, an expression of listrcss and resignation combined.

The Chinese consider tbe Mings the greatest rulers of tbe aucleut kingdom, and they rank second only to Confucius The tomb is composed of two colossal figures facing encb other and elaborately carved In the style affected by Chinese artists centuries ago. Seen iu Central park or Versailles they would look grotesque enough, but stuudiug as they do among bleak and lonely bills, outlined ngtiinst tho clear blue oriental sky, they hnve n rude grandeur and Imposing simplicity which make them seem (It guardians of imperial dust.

Flax tbe Best Paying Crop for New Settlers���It Prepares the Soil for Wheat��� Tho Yield and Prices. The question bus been nsked bow does tbe yield of flaxseed compare witli the yield of wheat per acre, and now do the prices obtained for tin- two crops OOmpare. A report recently issued by the Saskatchewan Department of Agriculture shows that the average yield of flaxseed and wheat respectively for the last throe veil rs wits as follows: Yield of Flax- Yield of Wheat seed per acre. per acre. 1005 15.73 bushels. 23.09 bushels. 11)06 9.35 bush-els. 21.40 bushels. 1907 10,91 bushels. 14.04 bushels. Thus the average yield of flaxseed per acre for the three years was ibout twelve bushels per acre, while .ho average yearly yield of wheat was about nineteen and 11 half busb- ils per acre. It is probable that the ���educed yield of flaxseed per acre in ,900 and 1907 as compared with 1905 ,vatj due to the fact that may Saskatchewan farmers grew flax three ,-ears in succession on the same soil. To get the best results from flaxseed t must not be sown year after year .11 the same soil, Nearly every fur riot in 'he North-West has land enough to sow part in Hax and part in jtlier crops, changing about to get .lie proper rotation. The best results are always obtained when flax* ieed is sown after the first breaking if the prairie soil. As regards prices at the present Jine, No. 1 wheat and flaxseed an* selling nt nearly the same prices, but this is very unusual, being due cliief- y to the following facts. 1. Then was an exceptionally benvy crop oi laxseed in the Argentine Republic and other parts of South America last /ear. 2. Tlie financial depression caused a falling off In the production if those classes of goods in the mak- .ng o' wliicu flaxseed and linseed oil ure used ns raw materials. These causes nre very exceptional and may lot occur again for years. Lastyeai .is high as 1.1.38 per bushel was paid ior flaxseed, and the average price was about $1.27 per bushel. On the other hand the price of wheat is at present exceptionally high. Then in considering the yield of wheat laet year as compared with that'*of flax. it should be noted that much of the .vheat did not grade very high and would not command the full price. However the important point to remember regarding flaxseed is that it can be sown so much later than wheat that very often a farmer can utilize land t-.at would otherwise go without any crop at all. After the wheat, oats and barley have been iowii the flaxseed may be put in. Then except in the early spring the ilax is less liable to injury from frost than the wheat, and the farmer who has part of his land in flaxseed may ieel that be is insured against total loss if frost should destroy his wheat. The new settlers are the ones for whom flaxseed is the most profitable, not only because it can be sown later than any other crop, but also because when sown on flrst breaking it prepares the land for a wheat crop the following year. Thus the farmer gets the auvantage of a good paying crop the first year from land which would otherwise yield him no return at all, and he has a bigger crop of wheat on the same soil tbe following /ear, because the flax crop rots the sod and disintegrates it. An Easy Task. "Lieutenant Shackleton, tho young iMiglisliman who will try to reach the soutli pole in a motor car, is intrepid and humorous," said a New York geographer.

The Home Paper. The mail or woman who dues not rend his or her home papers can not keep in touch with things at homo and hoine matters to each and every one of us, says the National Daily. A great journalist is on record as saying that the real secret of success in journalism is knowledge and proper appreciation of tlio true perspective of news. The same idea was somewhat differently expressed by 11 Parisian who declined that "a dead dog on a Parisian boulevard was of far more importance to a resident ef Paris than tne drowning of tlie population of a whole province in China. Ot the overflowing of the Yalu river." It is tlio duty and it ought to be the pleasure of a town, village or rural oommunityto support the town, village or county paper or papers. Tn doing so there is mutual benefit that must be beneficial to the entire community. The country press of today is more enlightened and is conducted on a higher plane than it ever was. The so-called provincial press was never as worthy of support as it is right now. Good papers make for the good of the community in which they are printed and circulated. No resident of a town or rural district can be said to keep in step with the times and with bis fellowinen, who does not support and read his local paper. It may seem to the unthinking that some of the chronicling, i.f the country press are of a trivial nature, but one of America's greatest poets aptly says: "These littlo tilings are great to little men."

From experience of past years we are in a position lo tell you that shipping strawberries in ordinary express cars in large quantities, when tbey have lo be transferred once or ofteuer on tbe way, is anything but a satisfactory method of transportation. We strongly advise growera who have a large enougli quantity to load refrigerator cars to do so, and would advise growers with smaller quantities to get together and load refrigerator cars between them, and then have tbe cars hitched to express trains. In tbis way we believe a lower rate can be obtained and the refrigeration will mean that the berries will land in our market in good condition, and if tbere is one thing tbat tbis maiket is famous for, we think it ia long prices fur fancy quality of fruit. We have, durii.g ihe winter time, consulted several times witli the C. P. R. officials here with reference to a refrigerator car service for B.C. fruit to Winnipeg, and we have tlieir assurance that refrigerator cars will be placed at the princip: fiuit shipping points in B.C. three tunes a week if necessary, providing tbey get reasonable assurance that cars will be loaded.
