��� as the date for  the  general
��� elections,  with nominations

*************************
The date of the election, October 26,
will como as a surprise to most people
who were looking for polling the lirjt
week in November. Apparently tho
desire of Uie government is to give tho
least possible time. Why it should so
desire is easily to be seen. It is not
anxious to have its record any more
fully discussed lhan it can help. From
the standpoint of political expediency
the Kovernnmit's course is a wise one.
Every day that thc campaign is prolonged means that its misdeeds and
mismanagement become better known
and its chances of being returned to
power again become more and more
remote.
The issues between the two parties
in this election aro cloar-cut and distinct. Mr. Borden and the conservatives stand for clean progressive government, while Sir Wilfrid Lnurier and
his supporters stand for all the graft
and corruption wliich has in recent
years disgraced the conduct of public
affairs in Canada,
In British Columbia the issues are
even more particulary defined than in
the rest of Canada. Mr. Borden is
pledged to see justice done the province in the mutter of bettor terms,
while Sir Wilfrid Laurier has already
refused, and will continue to refuse, to
grant British Columbia the additional
assistance to which she is entitled by
reason of tho peculiar position which
sho occupies. On tho Asiatic question
also Mr. Borden stance for a -white
British Columbia, while Sir Wilfrid
Lnurier and his supporters stand for
the opposite These are two questions
which affect British Columbia particularly, and the people of the province
aro now called upon to declare their
position on tliem. If they declare that
justice should bo done their province
in the matter of better terms and if
they desire a white British Columbia
their duty is to vote for the conservative candidates. They have no option
in tho matter. Is is either that or vote
for tho liberal candidates and thus endorse Sir Wilfrid Laurier's refusal of
justice and tho government's record on
the Asiatic question.
Mn tho constituency of Kootenay, Mr.
A. S. tioodeve, as a supporter of Mr.
Borden, deserves the support of every
man who has the interests of British
Columbia at heart. Whether as a supporter of Mr. Borden as premier of
Canada, or of Mr. Borden as lender of
he opposition he can bo depended upon to press the views of tho people of
British Columbia on these two important questions at Ottawa until justice is
done tho province in regard to both of
thorn.���Nelson Daily News.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier can thank him'self
for the appearance of provincial premiers and ministers with Mr. Borden
nt his future meetings. Among these
will be Sir James Whitney, wlnn he returns from England, and some ot his
ministers ill the meantime! Mr. Roblin,
premier of Manitoba, Mr. Hasten, premier ot New Brunswick, and Mr. MeBride, premier of British Columbia.
Sir Jol n Macdonald wns not disposed to
mix federal and provincial politics. Mr.
Mackenzie nnd Mr, Blake took tho same
view, but Sir Wilfrid Laurier came into
oilico by an alliance with provincial premiers, three of whom lie took into bis
ministry. Ho bas thrown the whole
federal inlluence into every provincial
contest since he became premier, declaring tbat thc la te On tar 0 government
waa the right arm, tbo Premier Parent's
administration the left arm ot his own
ministry. Sir Wilfrid's right arm was
neatly amputated three yoarB ago by
tho people of Ontario. lie lost his left.
by a revolt among his own Quebec
friends. But every Conservative provincial victory has been obtained against
all tlie power that the "federal administration could exert.
Rock Drilling at Ferguson.
In a double-handed rock drilling contest at Ferguson last Thursday, the
Slocan team, McGillivray and Erickson,
were defeated by tho local team, Mills
and Macdonald, Johnson and Dunn being second, after a second contest.
In the first contest, Johnson and
Dunn were the winners with McGillivray and Erickson second, but owing
lo tho rock splitting about the thirteenth minute, whilo the latter were
drilling, a protest was entered by them
and a second drill was ordered.
This proved to be a severe handicap
to tho Slocan team, who had to temper their stools under conditions they
were unaccustomed to. and Mills and
Macdonald with steels more suited to
tho rock, won first money, Johnson and
Dunn, who were second, breaking three
steels, whilst McGillivray and Erickson
had to contend with a fitcherod steel.
In the single-handed contest McGilli
vray won first prize and Erickson sec*

The entertainment was a niOEt meritorious one throughout, with scarcely a

DISTRICT EXHIBIT OF FRUIT
There is plenty ot fine fruit in the district to make a good display in the Bosun Hall next Monday, and to select a
creditable exhibit at Nelson. We want
every possible variety represented and
it will he a grand chance to loam the
names of the different kinds. It will
also be a good chance to get varieties
named of which thc growers are uncertain.
I have not yet received word from
any of the growers along the Slocan
river valley as lo what they mean to
exhibit. We ought to get some fine
fruit from tho young trees there. Thero
Is moro fungus disease showing in the
apples and plums this year than 1 havo
seen before and when you nre looking over
your fruit lo find lbe best sort of specimens to exhibit it ia annoying to find a
smell bla k epot that disqualifies what
would otherwise have been a splendid
specimen. Wo shnll bave to use more
Bordeaux mixture and spray our trees
thoroughly if wo are going to do our
neighbourhood full justice at next year's
show.
We want you to send whatever fruit
you can and wc want you to como to
the Bosun Hall on Monday afternoon
to enjoy the display and to bo encouraged by seeing what can be grown in
onr district.

Preserving the Forests.
PROTECTION FROM FIRE SAID TO
BE BEST WaY.
"It you draw the attention of the man
in tlio street to our rapidly diminishing
supplies ol limbor bo will in nine cases
out of ten say, 'Yes, thnt's so. Why
the government ought to go to work and
plant up tbe open spots.' Let us examine the practicability ot sucli a scheme.
With a large and well-equipped nursery
for the growing ot forest tree seedlings,
nnd with labor at .2 per dny it is possible to reduce the coat of planting, fiyc
feet apart each way to between $7 and
$8 per acre. Forsake of argument let
ua assume that it can bu done for . 5 au
acre, or _3,*000 per square mil**. At ihis
rate the planting of a township only six
miles square would require tbo enormous expenditure ot .$115,000. The
'man in tlie street' will do some, pfetly
hard thinking beforo he will consent to
pay his abate ot the coal of such an
undertaking, yet he will read in his
morning paper that thirly townships, or
more than a thousand square miles ol
woodlands in northern Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba have been destroyed by fire, and scarcely give the
matter a second thought.
"Would it not be very much more to
the purpose to take time by the forelock
and use the money required to plant up
a single township for the maintenance
of an efficient lire ranging system, similar to tbo ono already established in
Ontario'.' To my mind the problem
pressing hardest upon Hie Dominion
forest service tor solution is the protection of tbe western woodlands from lire.
The new railway being built through
tliem imd the settlement that will quickly follow will be a constant source of
danger, but if fire rangers who feel the
responsibility of their position, and
possess the necessary diligence, firmness and tact, lo faithfully perform their
duties and secure the oo-operalion of
the seniors nnd tho railway companies
can be found and retained in tbo service a greal deal may bo done to save
invaluable forest areas from ruthless
destruction."���A. II. It. Roes, MA,,

from you, madame; from you, abbe,

dent, Impetuous nature had suddenly
broken down all the barriers of caution, and be seemed for the instant to
see that countless throng of men, women and children of bis owu faitb, all
unable to say a word for themselves
and all looking to bim as their champion and spokesman.
"Do not sign it, sire," he cried. "You
will live to wish that your band had
withered ere It grasped that pen. I
know It, sire; I am jure of It. Consider all these helpless folk���the little
children, the young girls, the old and

an order which will bring misery and
desolation '   so many."
For a moment tbe king bad hesitated
.is be listened to tbe short, abrupt sentences in whicli the soldier pleaded for
his fellows, but bis face hardened
ngain as be remembered bow eveu bis
own personal entreaty bad beeu unable to prevail witb tbis young dandy
of the court.
"France's religion should bo that of
France's king," said be, "and if my
own guardsmen thwart mo In sucb a
matter I must find others who will be
more faithful. That major's commission in the mousquetalres must go to
Captain de Belmont, Louvois."
"Very good, sire."
"And De Catlnat's commission may
be transferred to Lieutenant Laba-
doyere."
"Very good, sin*."
"And I am to serve you no longer?"
"You aro too dainty for my service."
De Catlnat's ai ns fell listlessly t��
his side, nnd his head sank forward
upon his breast, Then, ns he realized
the ruin of all the hopes of his life
and tbe cruel Injustice with which he
bad boon treated, he broke Into a cry
of despair and rushed from the room
with the hot tears of impotent anger
running down his face. So, sobbing,
gesticulating, with coat unbuttoned
nud hut awry, he burst into tbo stable
where placid Amos Green was smoking his pipe and watching with critical
eyes tin* grooming of the horses.
"To Tiirls! To Paris!" shouted the
guardsman frantically, If I nm ruined
I may yet bo In time to save tbem. The
horses, quick!
It was clear to the American thnt
some sudden calamity bnd befallen, �����
he nlded bis comrade nnd tho grooms
to saddle nnd bridle. Five' minutes
later thoy were flying upon tbelr wny,
nud in little more than nn hour thoir
steeds, nil reeking und foam flecked,
were pulled up outside the high house
in the Hue St. Martin. De Cutinnt
sprang from his saddle and rushed upstairs, while Amos followed In bis own
leisurely fashion.
Tbe old Huguenot nnd his beautiful
daughter wore seated nt one side of
the great fireplace, hor hand In his,
nnd they sprang up together, sbe to
throw herself with n glad cry Into
the arms of her lover and he to grasp
the band which his nephew held out
to bim.
At the other side of the fireplace,
wltb a very long pipe In his mouth
and a cup of wine upon a settle beside
huh, sat a strange looking man, with
grizzled hair nnd board, a fleshy, red,
projecting nose and two little gray
eyes, which twinkled out from under
huge brindled brows. Ills loug, thin
1'iico was Inced nnd seamed wltb wrinkles, crossing and rccrossing everywhere, but fanning out In hundreds
from tbe corners of bis eyes. It was
set In an unchanging expression, and
ns it was of the same color all over,
ns dark as the darkest walnut, it might
bnve been some quaint flgurebend cut
out of a conrse grained wood. Ho wa3
chid Iu a blue serge Jacket, n pair of
red breeches smeared at the knees
with tar, clean gray worsted stockings,
large  steal  }��� *<*kles  dvor  bis  coarse
square toea BtiOes, una Beside mm,
balanced upou the top of n thick oaken
cudgel, wa3 a weather stained silver
laced bat. His gray shot bail* was
gathered up behind into a short, stiff
tail, and a seaman's hunger, with a
brass baudle, was girded to bis waist
by a tarnished leather belt.
De Catinat had been too occupied to
take uotice of this singular individual,
but Amos Green gave a shout of delight at the sight of bim, and ran for-
wnrd to greet him.
"Why, Captain Ephralm," cried
Amos in English, "wbo ever would
have thought of finding you here? De
Catinat, this is my old friend Ephralm
Savage, under whose charge I came
here."
"Anchor's apeak, lad, and the
hatches down," said the stranger In
the peculiar drawling voice whicli tlie
New Engenders bad retained from
the English Puritans.
"And when do you sail?"
"As soon ns your foot Is on her dock,
if Providence serve us with wind and
tide. And bow has nil gone with thee,
Amos?"
"Right well. I have much to tell you
of."
De Catlnat and his relatives wore far
too engrossed with their own affairs to
give n thought to the others. He Catinat told his tale 111 n few short, bitter
sentences, tho Injustice that had been
done him, bis dismissal from tho king's
service and the ruin which had come*
upon the Huguenots of France. Adele,
ns is tlie angel Instinct of woman,
thought only of her lover and bis misfortunes ns she*listened to his story,
but the old merchant tottered to bis
foot when ho heard of tbe revocation
of the edict.
"What nm 1 to do?" he cried. "What
am I to do? I am too old to begin my
life again."
"Never fear, uncle," said De Catlnat
heartily. "There aro other lands beyond France."
"But not for me. No, no; I am too
old. Lord, but thy hand is heavy upon
thy servants. What sball I do nnd
Whither shall I turn?" He wrung his
hands in his perplexity.
"What Is amiss with bim, then,
Amos?" asked the seaman.
"He and his must leave tbe country,
Ephralm."
"And why?"
"Because they nre Protestants and
the king will not abide their creed."
Ephralm Savage was across the
room in an instant nnd had inclosed the
old merchant's thin hand iu his own
grout knotted fist. There was a brotherly sympathy in his strong grip aud
rugged, weather stained fnce.
"Tell this mnn that we shnll see him
through, Amos. Tell him that we've got
a country where he'll just tit in like a
bung in a barrel. Tell him that religion is free to all there. Tell him that
if be wants to come the Golden Kod Is
waiting wilh her anchor apeak aud her
cargo aboard."
"Then we must come nt once," said
De Cntinnt ns he listened to the cordial
message which was conveyed to his
uncle. "Tonight the orders will be out,
and tomorrow it may be too lute."
"But my business!" cried tho merchant.
"Take what valuables you can nnd
leave the rest. Better that than lose
all, and liberty inlo the bargain."
And so nt last it wns arranged, That
very night, within live minutes of the
closing of tho gales, there passed out
of Paris a small party of five, three
upon horseback nnd two In a closed
carriage which bore several weighty
boxes upon the top. They were the
first leaves (lying before the hurricane,
the earliest of that groat multitude
who were within the next few months
to stream along every roud which led
from France.
Thanks to the early tidings which
the guardsman had brought with him,
liis little party were now ahead of the
news. At ltouon all was quiet, nnd
Cnptain Ephralm Savage before evening hnd brought both them and such
property as they bnd saved aboard his
brigantine, the Goldeu Kod. It was but
a little craft, some seventy tons burden, but at a time when so many wore
putting out to sea in open boats, preferring the wrnth of nature to that of
the king, It wns a refuge indeed. The
same night the seaman drew up bis
anchor nnd begun to slowly mnke hla
way down the winding river.
Wltb tho early duwu tbo river broadened out nnd encb bnnk trended nway,
leaving a long, funnel shaped estuary
between. Ephralm Savage snuffed the
air nnd paced the deck briskly, with a
twinkle in his keen gray eyes. The
wind bud fnllen awny, but there was
still enough to drive them slowly upon
tlieir course.
"Where's tho gnl?" he nsked.
"She's In my cabin," said Amos
Green. "I thought that maybe she
could manage there until we got
across."
"Where will you sleep yourself,
then?"
"Tut! A Utter of spruce boughs nud
a shoot of birch bark over mo have
been enough nil those yenrs. What
would I ask better than this deck of
soft white pine and my blanket?"
"Very good. The old mau nnd his
nephew���him with the blue coat���can
hnve the two empty bunks. But you
must speak to that man, Amos. I'll
havo no philandering aboard my ship,
lad; no whispering or cuddling or any
such foolishness."
"It's a pity that we left so quick, or
tbey might have been married before
we started. She's a good girl, Ephralm, nnd he a flue man, for nil Unit their
ways are not the same ns ours."
"But whnt Is the matter with tlie
old man? IIo doesn't seem easy in bis
mind," said Captain Savage.
Tbo old merchant had been leaning
over tbo bulwarks, looking buck with
a drawn fnce nnd weary eyes nt the
red curving truck behind thorn whicli
marked the path to Purls. Adelo bad
como up now with not n thought to
spare upon the dangers nnd troubles
which lay In front of her as she chafed
the old mnn's thin cold bands and
whispered words of love and comfort
Into his cars.
"Wo nro nlwnys In tbe hollow of
God's hnnd," bo whispered, "but, oh,
Adele, It is n dreadful thing to feel his
fingers moving under us!"
"Come with us, uncle," said De Cnt-
Inat, passing bis arm under that of tbe
old man. "It Is long since you have
rested. And you, Adele, I pray that
you will go and sleep, my poor darling, for It has been a weary Journey.
Go now to pleaso me, and when yo*
wake both France *��ud your troubles
 ���_
wm lie uemmi you.*
When father mid daughter had left
the deck De Catinat made his way aft
again to where Amos Green nnd the
captain were standiug.
"I am glad to get them below,
Amos," said he, "for 1 fear tbat we
may have trouble yet."
"And how?"
"You see the white road which runs
by the southern bunk of the river.
Twice within the last half hour I
have seen horsemen spurring for dear
life along it. Where the spires and
smoke are yonder is Hon flour, and
thither it was that these men went. 1
know not who would ride so madly at
such an hour unless they were the messengers of the king. Ah, see, there is
a third one!"
On tbo white band which wound
among the green meadows a black dot
could be scon, which moved nlong
with great rapidity, vanished behind
a clump of trees, nnd then reappeared
ngnin, making for tbe distant city.
Captain Savage drew out his glass and
gazed at the rider.
"Aye, nye," snid he ns ho snapped It
up ngain. "It Is a soldier, sure enough,
I can see the glint of the scabbard
Which ho carries on his larboard side.
t think that we shall have moro wind
soon. Willi n breeze we can Show our
heels to anything in French waters,
but n gnlley or an armed boat would'
overhaul us now."
Do Catinat, who, though he could
speak littlo English, bad learned In
America to understand it pretty well,
looked anxiously nt Amos (irci'ii. "I
fear that we Nliall bring trouble on
Ibis giind captain," said he, "and that
tin* loss of his ear-am and ship may be
his reward for having befriended ns.
Ask him whether ho would not prefei
to land us on tho north bank. Wit)
our money wo might make our way
luto tho lowlands." *
Ephralm Savage looked at bis passenger witb eyes which bad lost some
thing of their sternness, "young
man," said be, "1 see that yon can
understand somethin' of my talk."
De Cntinnt nodded.
"I tell you, then, that I am a bad
man to bent. Any mau that was ever
shipmate with me would tell you r.s
much. I just jam my helm aud keep
my course ns long as God will let me.
D'ye see?"
De Catinat again nodded, though, In
truth, the seaman's metaphors left bim
with but n very geueral sense of his
meaning,
While the Puritan seaman- had beeu
talking bis eyes had kept wandering
from the clouds to the flopping sails
and back. Such wind ns there was
enmo in little short puffs, and the enn-
vns either drew full or wns absolutely
slack. The fleecy shreds of cloud
above, however, traveled swiftly
across the blue sky. It was ou these
that the captain fixed his gaze, aud
he watched them like a mnn who is
working out a problem iu his mind.

Tbe first time Dr. Chase's Ointment
was ever used was in a case of piles
of seventeen years' standing. The
ointment cured that sufferer, nnd
since then has cured thousands rf
others.
Mrs. Capt. Clinansmith, of the
Salvation Army, Essex, Ont., voluntarily gives a statement of her case.
Doctors failed. other medicines
wouldn't cure her, hope almost given
up, when, ns practically the last resort, Dr. Chase's Ointment was applied Saturday night and on Monday,
the patient was up. Wonderful, but
true;  bore  nro her own words:���
"Two years ngo I wns taken with
a severe attack of protruding piles,
and became so bad that I had to
keep my bed, nnd could lie in no
position except on my stomach. Doctors  could  givo  me  no  help.
"One Saturday night when I was
suffering untold agony my husband
went to the drug store for a box of
Dr. Chnse's Ointment, which 1 hnd
heard of as a cure for piles. Although
I bnd almost given up hope, tortile
wonder of those around me, I wi.*s
able to be up nn Monday and havr-
lind no difficulty from piles since. As
a treatment for all kinds of sores and
burns, Dr. Chase's Ointment works
like magic."

IN AFRICAN FORESTS.
Tales of Their Gloomy Darkness and
Silence  Denied by  Modern Writers.
The travelers who first penetrated
the vast equatorial forest of Africa
fixed the world's attention with word
pictures that are now believed to be
partly fantastic. Some of them told
how they wandered months without
seeing the sun. They lived at noonday in semi-darkness. The undergrowth almost prevented progress, no
fresh breezes could penetrate the area
of gloom, and even the animals were
silent, like every other phase of nature existing there.
To-day writers seem to take an entirely different view of the tropical
forest, so that one is forced to the con-
elusion that either the old-time writers or else those of modern days regard the public as a collection of
stupids ready to swallow anything so
long as it is thrilling or unusual.
Maurice Delafosse, one of tho leading
colonial officials of France, contradicts many statements of earlier travelers. He says that nowhere has he
found tho African forest darker than
any other dense woodland. The vegetation in it is certainly more luxuriant
and more crowded together than in a
European forest, but it is an exaggeration to say they arc covered with impenetrable vegetation. Wherever the
natives live, well worn footpaths lend
in all directions. Traveling is hard
on some of them, but many of the
paths are very useful highways. Delafosse had none of tlie experience of
travelers wbo assert that their garments havo practically been stripped
off thorn by thc dense and thorny
undergrowth. He lived for month's
In forest without greater damage to
bis clothing than in any other parts
ol Africa, except that when traveling
rapidly on a hunting path his sleeves
have become unduly worn at the elbows.
As for darkness in the forests, ho
often took his compass bearings without artificial light when pitching
camp at nightfall. The forest traveler
has tbis advantage, that he is always
in shadow, nnd on the hottest days
he can pursue bis journey the whole
afternoon, which would be impossible
in the open country.
As for the reputed feeling of discomfort and oppression in the depths
of the forest, this is partly true. When
there is no stir in the atmosphere it is
more difficult to breathe in the forest
than in the open, nnd as there is less
chance for evaporation the discomfort,
of excessive perspiration is manifest.
It must bo remembered, however,
that if under such atmospheric conditions a man breathes more easily
in the open land he is at the same
time much hotter and so far more uncomfortable. When a breeze stirs
anywhere it penetrates the woods also
with  refreshing effect.
Dolafosso records that ho has had
few such delightful experiences in
Africa as on his morning walks in the
depths of tbe forest. He has never
fcund forest travel as uncomfortable
as marching over the savannahs
where the high grass is above his
bead. It is then that a man without
air, horizon or shade feels as though
he would melt.
There are plenty of sounds in the
forest to attract attention also, and
they help to keep ennui at a distance.
Something is going on ull the time.
In addition to the ceaseless murmur of the streams there are the humming of insects, the song of birds, the
chatter of the monkeys, tlieir gymnastic feats from branch to branch, tho
occasional falling of doad branches
and tree trunks, and at night time
the wonderful harmonies snd discords
of animate and inanimate life that
awaken when darkness comes and
sleep again at sunrise.
POLICE SPIES   IN   PARIS.
Legitimist Leader Mystified Over Revelation by Prefect Lepine.
Paris Gil Bias gives tbe world an
''lustration of the workings of the
French secret police In an anecdote
which It publishes witb au assurance
'hat the Incident happened recently.
A distinguished member of Parisian
iociety sent out invitations for a largo
loiree at his house In the Faubourg
it. Germain. He Is a Legitimist, and It
was hardly concealed that the gathering was to bave a certain political slg-
j ulficance.
As soon as he heard of It Police
Prefect Lepine called upon the host
aud with the utmost politeness solicited a couple of invitations for agents
on his staff.
"M. Ie Comte." said he, "I give yon
my word of honor the men to whom I
Intrust tbem will look like perfect gentlemen; thoy will act like gentlemen���
In n word, tliey will be worthy of the
honor you confer on them by making
them your guests."
Tbe count was very haughty, however. He explained with ill concealed
lisdnln that bis party would be mnde
up of the bluest blood iu France aud
any outsider would be at once conspic-
nous.
SI, Lepine nppenred to be convinced;
at least he yielded the point gracefully,
merely adding: "At least, M. le Comte,
you will allow nie to see the list of
your guesto. My duty compels me to
know who will be there."
M. le Comte mnde uo objection. He
produced the list, nnd Lepine scanned
It carefully. He wns wreathed in
jmlles ns he returned It Willi many
bows be apologized for biivlng troubled M. le Comte.
"It was so unnecessary," snld be. "1
really would have no use for those Invitations. I see thnt M. lo Comte nl
ready hns on bis list of guests the
names of five of ray most trusted observers."
The count and his friends have beei>
wondering ever since whether this was
literally true or whether It was a
���hrewd device to render the gathering

March Through  Fire.
Six thousand Hindus and a select
few English officials have recently
witnessed in the neighborhood of Madras a remarkable religious ceremony,
thc principal actors being Solvrastas,
a sect of Brahmins.
The festival was called "the march
through fire," and it is appropriately
enough named.  The proceedings were
i*i honor of Brahma and Vishnu, the
-gods of water and fire.
Preparations for the ceremony had
been going on for a month, says The
London Globe. A trench 23 feet long
and 19 feet deep waa dug, and in it
a fire was kindled. At sunrise 40
fanatics, who were to demonstrate
their asbestos nature, slowly marched around the furnace bearing the
curious idols. The Solvrastas were
clothed in yellow tunics," and without
hesitation entered the fire trench singing a hymn, the refrain of which was

When Sir Luke Fildes was painting
his famous picture, "The Village Wedding," he employed a rustic to pose as
model for the bridegroom. Boon after
the artist bad begun to paint the model turned deadly white. "Are you ill?"
asked Sir Luke anxiously. "Naw,"
said thc man; "1 be all ruight, zur."
However, tho painter made him rest
awhile, but when he resumed work a
little later the unfortunate "bridegroom" became even paler than before, and in serious alarm Sir Luke
nsked him what was the matter. "It's
hawthing at all except the 'olding of
rue breath so long." replied the model.
[For some extraordinary reason he hnd
imagined that it was necessary for
him to refrain from breathing all the

Sufferers with nervous dyspepsia
deserve sympathy. Bordering upon
the verge of a. nervous breakdown,
with tho nerves of the stomach paralyzed, so that the work of digestion
is impaired, remedial steps should
4 bo taken nt once. When the stomach
becomes irregular, the whole system
responds. Thc tired feeling takes
possession, ambition and energy are
stolen, and one finds himself robbed
and in despair.
Dr. Chase's Ncrvo Food nourishes
the weakened nervous system back to
bealth nml strength by sending new
vitality  through  the  whole body.
Mr. Ferdinand Buteau, Berthier,

"For over a year t suffered from nervous dyspepsia and. could not pet relief, though I tried many remedies.
My doctor told me that my stomach

UNIQUE  WEDDING  GIFT.
It Is Practically Any Hour of the Day
You Please. |
Those who are conversant with tbe !
use of globes know tbat all the nierid- I
ians  of   longitude  starting   from   the
equator converge toward and meet at
tbe poles.    Tbey know, too, that long!-
tude signifies time and that difference '
of longitude is difference ii time. Tbey
know very well that when it is noon in
London  it  is ahout 7  o'clock  bi the
morning In Rostou, and that when It Is
noon in San   Francisco It  is about a
quarter past 3 in the afternoon ln New
York.
Now, as the meridian of London extends to the north pole, it necessarily
ensues that when It Is noon in the F.ng* ]
lisb capital it must also be noon at the
north pole. In a similar manner wben
it is noon at Boston, or In San Francisco, or at Pekin, or any other placo
situated in tlie northern hemisphere.
It follows that it must also be noon at
the pole, because all tbe meridians of
those places unite at the north pole.
Therefore It Is noon all day long at the
pole.
Thus there Is an entire absence of
time at the pole. Hut It would be just
as correct to say that It Is a place
where there Is a preponderance ol
time, for it is practically nny time of
day during the whole twenty-foul
hours or, Indeed, through the year
In fnct. a resident at the north pole

A  POET'S DIET.
Byron's Strenuous Efforts to Keel
Himself From Getting Fat
"You mention Browning's Idea the!
starvation was the cure for nil the 11 In
of the flesh���his own, nt any rate,"
says n correspondent. "Browning was
not the only poet with peculiar views
on the subject. One of Byron's chlet
fears was that of becoming fat, and to
avoid it he often resorted to extraordinary systems of diet. At Athens he
lived mainly on rice and vinegar and
water. Later he confined himself to
six biscuits a day nnd tea. In 1816 ho
had so restricted his diet that he was
obliged to keep down hunger by chewing mastic and tobacco. 'Don Juan'
was 'written on gin and water.'"
Byron, it has been pointed out, was
one of those foredoomed by their con
stitutlons to fatness ln middle life,
whether thoy oat much or little, and
his victory over nature lu this respect
���for be succeeded ln reducing himself
by these violent methods���has been
quoted ns one of the most remarkable
achievements of the human will, considering all the circumstnnces. It must
have been bitter to him to see such a
man ns Beau Brummel, wbo nte and
drank freely and took no exercise, re
tabling without an effort all the ele
gauee of figure that was his greatest
gift No wonder Byron's was the poetry of gloom.���London News.
A Pretty Custom That Is Peculiar t.
Brazil.
Coffee as a wedding gift Is peculiar
lo Brazil. The custom in coffee raising
countries Is unknown lu other parts of
the world. When a child Is born in
the coffee country a sack of the best
grain is set aside as part of the inher-
ilanco, to be received on attaining its
majority. Usually the sack is the gift
from some close friend or relative, and
. is guarded as sacredly as If It were
:i gift of gold or bonds. No stress
would induce a Brazilian parent to use
coffee which was mnde the birth gift
of a child. As a rule, It is sealed with
the private seal of the owner and bears
a card giving all particulars about tho
variety of grata* its age on being
sacked, the birth of the child to whom
It Is given and other details which
are very Interesting when the gift
is due. Generally the coffee la
opened for the first time when the
child marries. Tlio coffee for the reception or marriage feast is made from
the legacy, nnd according to precedent
Ibis must be the first time the sack Is
opened. After the coffee is made for
the wedding feast the sack Is carefully
closed and sent to the new borne of the
young couple nud should keep them In
this staple for a year at least. When
both bride and bridegroom have the
birth gift of coffee thoy have started
life miner very hopeful conditions, so
fnr as ono necessary Is concerned. Few
people know that the older tbe nn-
parched grain of coffee is thc better
the flavor. Like wine. It grows with age,
nnd that which Is dver twenty" yenrs
mellowing under proper conditions will
bring from $1.50 to $*i a pound from
connoisseurs. The giving of pounds
of green coffee is a common practice
In the coffee belt Friends exchnnge
those gifts and compare results. When
one cannot nfford to give n sack of
coffee It frequently is tbe case thnt ten
pounds of the best grain are packed In
a fancy case and bestowed on a newly
born child, with directions thnt It must
not be opened until the wedding day.

MISS TRUTH  TELLER.
She Should Not Necessarily Tell the
Whole Truth.
With so mnny people seemingly unable to tell the truth, tlie very title of
a new book, "The Girl Who Couldn't
Tell a Lie," is refreshing. One wishes
to make her acquaintance. She would
be a gladsome oasis In many an arid
waste of lies.
Hnve you paused to think how mnny
people fail to connect with the truth?
Not that one' advises wholesale truth
telling. Indeed, It is only common decency to bo silent, say, on the subject
of hanging when one member of the
party has hnd n relntlve hanged. A
little tact will usually prevent one
from snying tbe rude thing. A very
good rule is never to ask a question
which In the answering may prove
unpleasant and never to make thoughtless remarks whlcb may make somebody unhappy, uncomfortable or downright angry.
In the end the heroine in the story
returns to her people, penniless and
broken spirited, crushed by the discovery that iu this hard and cynical
world the uncompromising truth teller
must pay tbe price of her heroic virtue.
Poor Paulino! One feels to whisper
to her that It really ls unnecessary,
even unwise, to tell unpleasant truths.
Only n goose girl would tell a fond
and rich bachelor uncle her unvarnished opinion of him.
Unless the Blood is Made Rick
and Red Health Cannot Be
Restored.
Throughout Canada there nre
thousands of growing girls and women held in the deadly clutches rf
anaemia. Slowly but surely a deathly pallor settles on their cheeks; their
eyes grow dull; their appetite fickle;
their steps languid. Daily they are
being robbed of all vitality and
brightness. Their sufferings grow
more acute if neglected until the signs
of early consumption become apparent. If your wi'e or daughter or sister
complains of weakness, pains in the
side, headaches or backaches; if lier
appetite and temper are uncertain
and she is cl'ten low spirited anaemia
has her in its deadly bold. What she
needs is new, rich, red blood. Give
her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pnle
People without loss of time, for they
actually make new, red blood. They
make girls and women well and happy
impart an appetite and steadily bring
back tlie charm and brightness of
perfect,   regular   health.
Miss Carrie McGrath, 2G Femviek
St., Halifax, N. S., says:���"I believe
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my
life, Throe years ago ] suffered from
anaemia in n seven* form. 1 was nil
run down and as pnle as a sheet. I
could scarcely eat anything, and
what I did take did not seem to
nourish me. My bands and feet wore
much swollen nnd the least exertion
would leave me breathless and my
heart boating violently. I seemed to
have pains and ncbes all over, i was
so weak I could not even sweep a
floor. At different times T was under
the care ot three doctors, but did not
get any better. One doctor said I
hnd dropsy and that my blood had nil
turned to wnter. My friends thought
I was in a decline nnd thnt I bad but
a short time to live. I was completely discouraged myself, when one day
a lady 'riend called to see me, and
told me Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had
cured her daughter of anaemia and
urged ine to try tbem. I decided to
try them, and in the course of a few
weeks felt somewhat better. I met
the doctor one day and he remarked
how much better T was looking, I
told him it was not his medicine but
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that were
helping me, and he told me I hud
bettor keep on taking them. I continued to do so until I had tnken nnother half dozen boxes, when my
health wns perfectly restored. I nm
more than grateful for what these
pills have done for me and strongly
.eopmmend them to all weak girls."
Thousands of men and women, now
well and strong, praise Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for having cured anaemia,
general weakness, indigestion, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous disorders,
paralysis and the ailments of girlhood ' and womanhood. These Pills
do this by making new, red blood
which feeds thc starved nerves,
drives out disease and strengthens
every organ in the body. Sold by

NEEDLEWORK HINTS.
How to finish the collar of a lingerie
blouse Is a troublesome question for
some women. Fine niching runs Into
money If one keeps it always fresh
and dainty. The luce edge commonly
seen is apt to droop over and look untidy. Here Is oue way a fashionable
dressmaker solves the difficulty. She
makes a close box plaiting of very narrow lace. It ls as snug nnd keeps its
place as well as a soft crepe lisse ruche.
There ls noue of the falling over of
the ordinary lace edge. It Is a dainty
finish In harmony with tbe blouse,
especially if It Is lace trimmed, and It
is not expensive. If you buy your
blouses rendy made, just get a bit of
verjr narrow Valenciennes, plait it in
nnd see what a dainty, pretty finish
it is.
A pretty cord bolder ls mnde with a
large piece of heavy cardboard, wltb
the three points joined nt tbe top to
form a triangle sbnpcd receptacle that
will bold n ball of cord. Make a hole
In the bottom of thc box and draw tbe
end of tbe cord through. Fasten the
sides together wltb little bows of baby
ribbon nnd tie nt tbe top with baby
ribbon.
Next to leather Itself, nothing ls more
useful for covering shirt waist and
other utility boxes than burlap. Then,
too, If tbo color selected harmonizes
with the color scheme of the room It
combines beauty with usefulness. Tbe
edges of tho box should be finished off
with linen braid of the color of tlie
burlap and held In plnce by button
tucks. Both the brnid nnd tbe tacks
may be bought of nny upholsterer or
iu nny drapery department of any general furnishing store. Burlap enn be
used with splendid effect for portieres
where an Inexpensive yet attractive
material Is desired. A running stenciled design around tho bottom nnd nt*
thc sides would give the needed decoration.

DON'T GIGGLE,  GIRLS.
Nothing More Infectious and Charming Than a Good Laugh.
If half the girls knew bow silly they
looked and sounded when they constantly giggled they would stop It.
Learn to smile, not giggle.
Nothing is more Infectious and
charming than a good laugh, but very
few people know how to laugh, it ls
ns rare In life as It le on the stage.
A giggle usually comes from nervousness. A girl will giggle when she
cannot think of anything to sny or
when she is trying to be at ease In
company.
Sbe will giggle when a boy meets
her aud says "Good morning.'.' She
will giggle when he says "Goodby."
She ls only nervous, but she appears
silly.
It Is no wonder that young men
speak with utter scorn of the giggling
girl. They seem to think her the least
attractive maiden on earth. It Is trying to attempt to hold uny kind of conversation with a girl who will punctuate her every remark with giggles.
It Is not always possible to know nt
first tnnught whether or not you nre
one of the girls who giggle. Stop and
think nbout It. Watch yourself the
next time you nre with nny one. See
whether (bis senseless trick Is a part
of your social equipment If It Is,
tnke nny heroic means to Btrangle thnt
giggle until It Is dend.
Fur better be silent. Yoii mny then
get the credit for wisdom thnt you
have not got. Bolter tbun nil, If you
don't know how to give n cheery, musical, spontaneous laugh, then try your
best to learn how to smile.
Do not lot yourself give a weary
smile, for that Is the result of effort
and self consciousness, but anything
Is better than a silly giggle.
TO TEST  MATERIALS.
Distinguishing Pur* Linen From
Counterfeit  Is  Easy.
Of the goods sold ns "all wool" tbere
Is uot one-tenth thut Is genuine. Generally the main component Is cotton.
The test for this Is simple. All that
Is necessary Is to pull out a few
threads aud apply a lighted match.
Cotton will go off in a blaze; wool will
shrivel up.
To distinguish pure linen from counterfeit Is even easier. The Intended
buyer need but wet her finger nnd np-
ply It to the goods. If they nre pure
linen, the moisture will pnss straight
through; the spot touched will be soaked at once, and almost immediately
one side will he us wet as the other.
Frauds nre more numerous In silk
tban in any other fabric, but here also
the material of adulteration Is cotton.
Its presence can rendily be discovered.
Draw a few threads out. Tbe pieces of
cotton will snap off short when pulled,
while the silk will stretch and permit
a considerable pull before brenktng.
The bousted silk of our grandmothers
that "stood by Itself" ls not necessarily
the best. Modern Ingenuity has devised
means of giving tlie poorest article the
body requisite for this purpose.
Shellac and other sticky substances
mixed through the fabric will produce
ns stiff u silk as ever graced the wardrobe of our ancestors. Such stuff Is
quite worthless, however, as it quickly
rots.
HOUSEHOLD   NOTES.
When a finger has been pinched, if
it Is nt once immersed in boiling water the iutlammntioD will be quickly

Socialism Offers Peace and Friendship
Instead of Conflict.
Our present system of society is
based on a state of perpetual war.
Do any of you think this is as it
should bo? I know that you have
often been told that tbe competition
which is at present the rule of trade
s a good tiling and that it stimulates
the progress of the race, but the people who tell you this should call competition by its shorter name of war
if they wish to be honest, and you
would then be free to consider whether or no war stimulates progress
otherwise thnn ns a mud bull chasing
you over your own garden may do.
War or competition, whichever you
may please to cull it, means at the
best pursuing your own advantage at
the cost of some one else's loss, and
in tho process of it you must not be
sparing of destruction even ol your
own possessions or you will certainly
corns by the worst in the struggle.
You understand that perfectly as to
the kind of war in which people go
out to kill and be killed���that sort of
war in which ships are commissioned,
for instance, "to sink, burn and destroy"���but it appears that you are
not so conscious of this waste of
goods when you aro only carrying on
that other war called competition.
Observe, however, that the waste ia
there all the snme.
Well, surolv Socialism can offer yon
something in the plnce of all that. It
can. It can offer you peace and friendship instead of war. We might livo
utterly without national rivalries, nc-
knowledgillg that, while it is best lor
Ihoso who feel thnt tbey naturally
form a community under one name to
govern themselves, yet that no community in civilization should feel that
it had interests opposed to any other,
tlieir economical condition being at
any rate similar; so thn-t any citizen
of one community eould fall to work
and live without disturbance of his
life when he was in n foreign country and would fit into his place quite
naturally; so that all civilized nations
would form one great, community,
agreeing together as to the kind and
amount of production and distribution needed, working at such and
such production whore it could be
best produced and avoiding waste hy
all moans. Please to think of the
amount of waste which thoy would
avoid; how much such a change would
add to the wealth of the world!���William Morris, British Manufacturer and
Socialist.
Landse.r's Valet.
Sir Edwin Landseer, the famous
animal painter, had an old servant
��� his butler, valet and faithful slave
���named William, who was particularly assiduous In guarding the outer
portal. No one could by any possibility gain direct access to Sir Edwin,
The answer would invariably be, "Sir
Hedwin is not at 'ome." The prince
consort himself once received this
answer when he called, amplified on
that occasion by the assurance that
"he lind gone to n wedding," an entire fiction on William's part, as the
princo found out, for on walking boldly in nnd nround the garden be noticed Sir Edwin looking out of his studio
window. This was the faithful attendant who, one day, when a lion
had died at tbe zoo nnd his corpse
came up in a four wheeled cab to ht
painted from, startled his master with
the question, "Please. Sir Hedwin,
did you holder a lion?"
Dysentery corrodes the intestines
and speedily eats away the lining,
bringing ubout dangerous conditions
that may cause death. Dr. J. 1). Kel-
logg's Dysentery Cordial clears tho
intestinal canals of the germs that
cause the Inflammation, mid by protecting the lining from further ravages restores them" to healthy condition. Those subject to dysentery
should hot bo without this simple
yet powerful  remedy.
Eggs Were Rigid.
In his early days it was suggested
to Mr. Meredith, the novelist, that he
should take up his residence with
Rossetti at Queen's House, Cheyne
Walk. The novelist agreed to take a
couple of rooms, and one morning,
shortly after Rossetti had moved in,
Mr. Meredith, wbo was living in May-
fair, drove over to Chelsea to inspect
his new apartments. "It was past
noon," relates Mr. Meredith; "Rossetti had not yet risen, though it was
an exquisite day. On the breakfast
table in a huge dish rested five thick
slabs of bacon, upon which five rigid
eggs had slowly, bled to death! Presently Rossetti nppenred in dressing
gown, with slippers down at heel, and
devoured the dainty repast like an
ogre." This decided Mr. Meredith.
He did not even trouble to look at
his rooms, but sent in a quarter's
rent that afternoon and remained ia
May fair.
Byron's Proposal.
Lord Byron in 1330 seriously turned
his thoughts to matrimony. He confided to a friend liis intention of proposing te Miss Milbanke, the daughter
of Sir Ralph Milbanke. The friend
thought some other lady more suitable and agreed with Byron to write
a proposal for him. One day as thc
two were sitting together Byron received a refusal from the lady. "You
see," said he, "that after all Miss
Milbanke is to be the person. I will
write to her." Accordingly he did so,
and the friend, who was still opposed
!o his choice, on reading over the
letter remarked: "It really is a vory
pretty letter. It is a pity it should
not go." "Then it Rhall go," said
Byron. It went, and the result was
the miserable marriage which is now
�� matter of history.
Two  Points of View.
An old Scotchwoman was walking
to church with ber family. The aula
kirk minister rode past at a tremendous rate, and the old lady said to
her children: "Siccan a wey to be
ridin', and this the Sawbath day.
Aweel, aweel, a gude man is marcifu'
to his beast!"
Shortly afterward her own minister
rode past just ns furiously, and the
worthy old wifie cried: "Alls there he
Roes! The Lord bless him,-puir man I
His heart's in his wark, an' he's eager
to bti at it."
Feeding an Eskimo.
It is said that an Eskimo will devour twenty pounds of meat ip a day.
When tbe meat trust strikes the"
iroz/'ii north the native ought to
aianage to worry along on half rations to keep down the price of living.
The Farmer's Sign.
According to the Atluuta Constitu
tion, a Georgia furmer posted this sign
on his frout gate:
"Candidates will pass on. No time to
talk to 'em."
One morning his little boy shouted
from the garden walk:
"There's cne o' them canderdates
here, an' he says he'll come In anyhow!"
Tbe old mnn looked toward tbe gate
and said:
"Let him In. There's no harm ln him.
I know him. He's been runnln' ever

While we may pick and choose aad
���do exactly as we please about our
' I'lothes, there have been ln times gone
"by, In many countries and even iu our
own, what were known as "sumptuary
laws." These laws regulated expenditure for dress, for ornament, for food
or for whatever refreshments you
might give company when they came
to take ten.
Among tho lirst of these sumptuary
laws was one made in Home In -15 13.
C. and called the "Oppian law." It declared that no woman should possess
more than half nn ounce of gold, wear
���a dress of different colors or ride in a
vehicle In the city or within a mile of
it except on occasions of public religious ceremonies. This lav/ lasted only
twenty years.
Italy and Franco are the countries
where most of these laws have been
passed, and some of tbem read very
Gtrangcly. In 1330, In Italy, no woman
was allowed to wear a dress with figures painted on it; she could only havo
them embroidered. And In 1348, ln the
same country, neither dark green nor
Iihick dresses were allowed to be worn
ln the morning.���St. Nicholas.

ESCHOL SELLERS.
The Oi*I*_l*nr.l of tlio Hero of Marlc
Twain*. '*GHdod Arc"
The real name of the hero of "Tbe
Gilded Age'' was Eschol Sellers, and
ho was an inventor and an active promoter very well known in the early
days of the new west. His father wns
one of the flrst locomotive builders in
the United States, with works at Philadelphia. Eschol Sellers and Charles
Dudley Warner occupied adjoining
houses some years beforo "The Gilded
Ago" was written. Sellers at that timo
was developing a coal field near Shaw-
neetown, 111., nt what was then and is
Still known us Sellers' Landing. He
was also Inventing a process afterward largely used In making paper
out of Indian weed pulp. He was also
experimenting with the camel back
engine. Notwithstanding the fact that
Sellers' enterprises were destined all
to be successful, Charles Dudley Warner conceived tho Idea that he was a
typical Visionary dreamer. He therefore suggested the name of Eschol
Sellers for the hero of "The Gilded
Age," and Mark Twain used the name,
believing It to be fictitious. One of
the first copies of the book happened
to be seen by Eschol Sellers, who went
at once to Hartford and enjoined the
publication. A compromise wns effected by which the publishers pnid
Kellers $5,000 for damages and cut all
of the plates, removing the name
Eschol and substituting that of Mulberry. Eschol Sellers (lied at a very
advanced ngo at his pleasant homo on
Missionary ridge, near Chattanooga,
