An accident occurred at the Eureka mine, Sandon, on Tuesday, in wliich two men were injured. John Bakke, foreman at the mine and Ed. McPhilips were encaged in tarring the ti am cable situated about three towers above Sun- don, when the bucket in which both men were at the time, overbalanced, throwing (he occupants to tlio ground a distance of thirty feet, Bakke being tbo most unfortunate of the two, sustaining a broken collar-bone and injuries lo both ligj, while Philips escaped with nothing more serious than a seven* shaking and bruises in several parts of his body. Fortunately at the spot where the accident happened there was a thick growth of brush and both men falling inlo this oscipod more serious injury. Tliey were at once conveyed to the Sandon ho-pitul and are both now* reported to bj res'.ing cotnfol tahly.

Doing lured by the reports of the success of various fishing parlies and the persuasions of a couple of enthusiasts, who were lnnd in their praises of a certain place as one where big catches weie to be mnde, we forsook tlie editorial chair and wended our way on Monday laH���after providing ourselves with the necessary tackle and outfit for cam ping��� ih quest of the two-pounders which we weie assured would be ours, It is only our modesty und a reputation for always speaking the truth which prevents us from stating the number of our catch. Suffice it lo say that owing lo one of tlie party being moved to compassion at our disconsolate appearance, we were able to inarch home in triumph on Wednesday evening to receive the congratulations of thc family and their praises oi our prowess with the rod and line. The "devil." who we left in charge, with stiict injunctions to keep his oars open for news bas fulled in his mission .vnd is nursing sundry aches and pains, since Tuesday, the resull of an over indulgence iu ice-cream and an excess of dancing.

The outcry against compulsory vaccination of school children lias induced the Piovincial Hoard of Health to issue Instructions to boards of school trustees that the statutory enactment need not be enforced in the case of parents who have ConscientoUS objections to tlieir offspring being treated with vaccine. It does not follow that the board of health is abandoning the attempt to en- fo.ee vaccination apon onr children, even th mgh n loop hole is allowed for escape by objecting on scruples of conscience. It is not clear if the teacher is given carle blanche, or if a higher authority Will discriminate between genuine objections of conscience anl a direct attempt to evade the ac1*, As a matter of fact tint scheme was tried in England, the only difference being that all objectors mado their nppc.il in a court of law under oath.

"I do uot know the plnce," Shaking his head. "It may he any one of thirty castles which lie upon the soutli side of Paris and within six or seven leagues of it." He wus dropping buck to the floor and put his weight upon the bar. To his amazement it came away iu bis baud. "Look, Amos; look!" he cried. "Ah, you've found It out! Well, 1 did that during the night, I eould make no way with my knife, hut when I got the bur out of the grate I man* ngcil faster. I'll put this one bnck now, or some of those folk down below may notice thnt we have got It loose." "Are they all loose?" "Only the oue nt present, but we'll get the other two out during tlio night. You-can take Unit bar ont nnd work with It while I use my own picker nt the other. You see, the Btone Is soft, nnd by grinding It you soon make a groove along which you can slip the bnr. It will be mighty queer If we eun't clear a road for ourselves before morning." "Well, but oven If we could get out into the courtyard where could we turn to then?" "One thing at a time, friend. Anyway, there Is more air ln tbe yard tban In here, and when the window ls clear wo shall soon plan out tho rest." The two comrades did not dare to do any work during the day for fear sirainca ms ears. "By thunder'.'' said be. some oue working on tho other side! They both stood listening. were the thud of lnunuiers, the rasping of a saw uud tbe clutter of wood from the other side of the wall. ���'What cau they be doing see tliem?" "Tbey are too nenr the wall." "I think I can manage," said De Cati nut. "1 am slighter than you.' pushed his head and neck and hnlf of one shoulder through the gap between the bars, and there he remained until his friend (bought (hut perhaps he had stuck and pulled his leg. to extricate him. He writhed back, however, without any difficulty. "They are building sometbiug," he whispered. "Building!" "Yes. There nre four of them, witb a lantern," "Whnt can they be building, then?" "It's a shed, I think. I cuu see four sockets in tlie ground, und they nro llxing four uprights Into them." "Well, we can't get away as long ns there are four men just under our window." "Impossible!" "But we may as well finish our work for all that." The gentle scrapings of his Iron were drowned nnild tlie noise which swelled ever louder from without, The bar loosened at the end, nnd he drew it ln. The steady hammering und sawing went forward. II wus curly morning, nnd the first cold liglii wus beginning to stenl over the courtyard before (he work was nt lust finished and the workmen hnd left. Then nt lust the prisoners dared to climb up and to sec what It was which had been constructed dur- thoni a catch of Ing the night. It gnve the breath as they looked at it. It was a scaffold. It was buttressed up against tbelr wnll, nml in the center stooa u headsman's block. "I think It Is time thnt we left," said Amos Green. "The window Is clenr. Let us mnke a rush for it." "It is useless. I can see a line of nrmed men nlong the further side of tlie yard. And here come more. See, at the center gnte!" As be spoke the door whicli faced them opened, und a singular procession filed out. First cnme two dozen footmen, walking in pairs, nil carrying halberds and dud in tho same maroon liveries. After them a huge with his tunic off and the sleeves of his course shirt rolled er his elbows, strode along with ids left shoulder. Be- ssnl tho Marquis de Cbarmarante, Bontems and Mile. Nanon. The torches shed a strong yellow light upon this small baud as they advanced slowly through the corridors and salons whicli led to the chapel. A minute later they were before the altar, and the words were being read which should bind them forever together. As they turned awny again, her new ring blazing upon her finger, tbere was a buzz of congratulation around her. The king only said nothing, but be looked at her, aud she had no wish that be should suy more. She wns still calm nnd pule, but the blood throbbed in her temples. But a sudden shadow had fallen across her, and a low voice was in her ear. "Remember your promise to tlie church," It whispered. She started nnd turned to see tlie pnle, eager fnce of tho Jesuit beside her. "Your hnnd hns turned cold, Franeolse," said Louis. "Let us go, dearest. Wo have been too long In tills dismal church." Mme. de Montespnn had retired to rest, ensy in her mind, nfter receiving the message from her brother. She knew Louis ns few others knew hiin. nnd she wus well aware of that obstinacy in trifles which was one of his characteristics. If ho had said thnt he would be married by the archbishop, then tlie archbishop It must be. Tonight nt least there should he uo marriage. She dressed herself wilh cure In the morning.

The instant that night fell they were both up upon the pegs, grinding nwny ut the hard stone and tugging nt the bars. It was a rainy night, nnd there was a sharp thunderstorm, but they could see very well, while the shadow of the arched window prevented tlieir being seen. Before midnight tliey hud loosened one bar, nnd the other wns just beginning to give when some slight noise made them turn their hends, nnd there wus Iheir Jailer standing, open mouthed, In the middle of tho cell, staring up at them, It wns De Cntinnt who observed him first, nnd he sprung down nt him In nn Instant with liis bur, but at his movement tlie man rushed for the door and drew it nfter him just as the American's tool whizzed past his ear nnd down tho passage. "it is scarce worth whilo to go on," said De Cutinnt. "We mny as well be doing that as anything else. If my picker had been nn Inch lower I'd hnve hnd him. Well maybe he'll get a stroke or break his leek down those stairs. I've nothing lo work with now. but a few rubs witb Vour bur will finish tbe job, Ah, dear, you nre right, nnd we nre fairly treed!" A grent bell hnd begun to ring Id tlie Chateau, and there was a loud buzz of voices uud a clutter of feet upon the stones. Hoarse orders were shouted, nnd there wus the sound of turning keys Flee minutes passed, however, and yet another live minutes, without nny oue appearing, "Well, I'll have that bar out, nfter nil." suid the American ut last, rising and stepping over to the window. "Anyhow we'll see what all this cuter wauling is nbout." He climbed up ou liis pegs as he spoke nnd peeped out. "Come up!" he cried excitedly to his comrade "They've got some other guine going on here, nnd they are all a deal too busy to bother their heads about us." De Catinat clambered up beside him, and the two stood staring down into the courtyard. A brazier hnd been lit nt each corner, nnd the place was thronged with men, many of whom curried torches. The main gate was open, and a carriage, wliich hud apparently just driven in, was stuudiug at a small doov immediately in front of window. A man wearing a up ov a great ax over hind him, a priest wilh an open mi puttered forth prayers, and in his shadow wns a woman, clad in black, her neck bared, nnd a black shawl enst over her hend nnd drooping In front of her bowed fnce. Within grip of her walked a tall, thin, fierce faced mau, with harsh red features and a i great jutting nose. lie wore a Hat i velvet cup with a single eagle feather fastened into It by u diamond elnsti, which gleamed in tlie morning light. But bright as was his gem his dark eyes were brighter still nnd sparkled from under liis bushy brows with a mad brilliancy which bore with It something of menace nnd of terror. The woman hud fullered nt the foot of the scaffold, but tlio mnn thrust her on, nnd two of the followers ennght her by either wrist nnd drugged her forward, "Oh, Maurice! Maurice!" she screamed. "I am not fit to die! Oh. forgive me, Maurice, ns you hope for forgiveness yourself! Maurice! Mini* rice!"

How Our Army Is Formed. The average citizen, It Is safe to say, bas a very hazy Idea concerning the size and constitution of the United States army. A writer In Harper's Weekly gives some interesting facts bearing upon this matter. The govern ment dreams of nn army numbering ���70,000 men. The present strength Is 57,000. Of the 'heoretical 70,000 sol diers the fifteen regiments of cavalry, Which never lack their full comple ment, comprise nearly 11,000 otlleert and men. the six regiments of field ar tillery D.500, the coast artillery corps close upon 20.000, tlie thirty regiments of infantry 27.000, the engineers 2,000. and tne remainder consist of the staff corps, Indian scouts und a small linm ber*>of native soldiers in I'orto Rico snd the Philippines. The total num ber of com missioned officers amounts to about 3,000.

There is gold in large and iu small quantities throughout the length of the valley, particularly at Skiddoo and other neighboring camps iu the I'linninlntii; there ls copper at Greeuwater, enough borax to supply the entire world for many a year, and now it seems probable that the district will soon be known as a Hirge producer of rock salt These salt deposits are found ln th*�� foothills of the Avawatz mountains, at tbe southern end of Death valley and within sixteen miles of the Tonopab nnd Tidewater railroad. There are foui distinct bodies, known ns the Death valley, King, Salt basin aiid .lumfco salt mines. The salt appears to lie In ledge form with well defined walls, particularly on the upper or hanging side. The deposits huve been wel' known to prospectors for mnny years, but It was not unill tho completion of the rnllrond that they assumed any commercial vnlue. Years ago some of the material wns freighted to the Te- vopu mine for the clilorinatlon mill in use on the property when It wa�� mined for Its high surface values of silver. The Dcnth valley mine consists of eighty acres, and It Is upon this ground that the larger pnrt of the present development of the deposits hns been done. The showing ls fiCO feet wide by 1.000 feet In length, the suit being covered with wash gravel and mud to a minimum depth of ten feet. Where thei salt hns been most exposed to Kie elements it has dissolved and mixed with the mbd and gravel, forming an Incrustation harder even thnn the rock salt The development consists of numerous open cuts, tunnels and shafts, all penetrating the surface Incrustation and! showing pure salt In the faces. It ls estimated tbat there are 2r��0.000 tons of salt already exposed in this deposit.

Sir William Chambers designed the vehicle, which weighs four tons.

Steel springs were unknown when the coach was built, and Its ponderous yet dainty, luxurious body Is suspended on leather braces, not unlike those of thc old Concord stageconches of America Its balance Is so perfect that a touch of the finger is enough to set the body swinging on the big creaking straps which brace the carved and gilded tri- tons supporting the driver's seat and hammer cloth. The length of the vehicle is twenty-four feet, and it Is twelve feet tiigh. The elaborate carvings cost more than the carriage proper, the coach builder's bill having been less than ���$0,000, while that of the carver was more than $10,000. Something of the character of thc ornamentation may be guessed from the fact that the artist Cipriani received $1,500 for painting the panels and that the lute maker's charge wns about $-1,000, tho crimson sntln interior of the carriage being most elaborately upholstered.

Wonderful Richness of the Mackenzie River Region. An old Seattle prospector named T. O. Oliver, who recently returned from four years of prospecting on tlie Mackenzie, Peace and Le Lard rivers, during which time he crossed the Barren Lands to the lirst cache of the Franklin expedition brings news of gold discoveries which he says surpass the early finds in thc Klondike. He will head a party that will .leave Seattle to return to these discoveries. When seen by reporters Mr. Oliver said; "The greatest gold diggings in the world are in tlie Mackenzie river country.

"Making up," ns applied to tbe appearance, Is by uo means as modern an art as many people Imagine. In the days of Roman supremacy the women tinted their eyebrows with black in emulation of "ox eyed Venus." They painted their faces, sprinkled themselves with perfume nnd even wore false hair or tinted their own locks ln accordance with tbe prevailing fashion. The Creek ladles of the same period employed maids who rubbed out their mistress' wrinkles, "decorated" her face with red nnd white pnlnl nnd darkened her eyebrows. It was then nlso the fashion to coat the face with white of egg nud goose grease to protect it from the sun and wind. It Is even snid that they bad a recipe for turning blue eyes to black. These fashions nil had their origin In Italy, where In later years the notorious Lucrezlu Borgia is said to huvt dyed her hair diDerent colors, according lo ber fuuey of tbe moment. In England iu tlie eighteenth century many women, among them I.ndy Coventry, died from tbe effects ot rouge. So In nil ages "beauty nt all costs" was tbe motto of "smart" ladies. Tennyson's Terror. There nre many stories of Tennyson In the Duke of Argyll's book, "Fas- sages From the rust," and oue of tbe most characteristic relates to the time when tbe marriage of his grace, then the Marquis of Lome, and Princess Louise wns in the air. One day Tennyson bad a number of guests at luncheon, among whom was the Marquis of Lome. In the course of talk tbe marquis told Tennyson, then poet laureate, that the queen liked his new volume. "I nm glad to hear it," Tennyson said in his sonorous, slow, musical bass voice. "I bnve given a good account of her in that volume, but tbe newspapers don't like my rhymes���sny they are bnd. I live In terror," he continued, "of nny of the queen's family marryir.g nnd of beariug from her that she hopes I will write something.

Then he went downstairs nnd was soon heard hammering vigorously. After some minutes' strenuous work, giving one last mighty blow, he asked, "How Is It now ?"

From a spectacular stanctpoint it will be one of tlie most dazzling combinations of picturesque events ever seen in any country. There will be thousands 'if clia meters in the processions, all dressed to the very life. The tableaux on the Plains of Abraham, where the historic buttles were fought, will embrace all the transcendent epoch-making events of Canada's romantic history, including Wolfe's work up to his death. The street pageants will be of wondrous beauty, the naval demonstrations of an impressiveness not heretofore realized. Quebec will he tilled to repletion by thousands from Knglnnd nnd the United States, and tens of thousands from Canada, but fully ten millions of people will wisli to be present, and cannot find hotel accommodation. One of the grentest matters of anxiety to those organizing tlie celebration has been tlie question how to provide the millions of people who cannot see tlie celebration with illustrations mid descriptions, to give tlie scenes of grandeur to the world in their entirety. Arrangements have been completed by The Standard of Montreal, now recognized us the National Illustrated Paper of Canada, to issue what will be known as ""The Standard Tercentenary Number," published by George Murray Publishing Company, Montreal. We hnve bud the privilege of examining the proofs of some of tin: gorgeous supplements to go witli The Standard. They eclipse in interest, in fidelity of detail, in beauty of color nnd execution, anything ever attempt, ed in Canada] nud will bring the Tercentenary celebration right into the homes of those lucky enough to procure a copy. To connoisseurs The S'andard Tercentenary Number is one that expert judges would think could not be sold under $2.50, and yet it is to be published at 50 cents. It will be practically the only Tercentenary souvenir. The publishers announce that orders uie now being booked, and all orders mailed on or before June ?7 will be certain to be filled. After that date the public must tnke their chance, first come, first served. Where orders remitted for cannot be filled, remittance will be refunded. Tlie Publishers of The Standard, 171 St. James St., Montreal, have gained a continental reputation for their publication. The comirg issue, to illustrate the Tercentenary Celebration, will certainly be the most interesting tiling of tlie kind ever produced on tliis continent. We pre'Vct that in one montli after the celebration it will he in demand nt even ten dollars a copy. Thev cannot begin to issue enough to meet a demand that will be phenomenal. It is a pleasure to testify to the value of a. thing of surpassing merit.���Exchange. FOUGHT UNDER WATER.

Such is tlie testimony of Mr. I.ud- ger Duguay, Pidgeon Hill, Quebec. This is com mon story. Thousands of people hnve been cured of Itch, Piles, Eczema, or Suit Rheum, etc., by Ur. Chase's Ointment. Suit Rheum is one of the most important of skin diseases. It occurs anywhere, nt nny time, and on anyone. It often starts ns a rash, eventually breaking out in sores discharging wnter. Unless something is done to stop this discharge, a crust will form, which signifies nn advanced stnge of this disagreeable disease. Upon tlie first application, this ointment stops itching, loosens tlie congested mutter or scab, thoroughly cleanses the sore, and after all dirt and poison hns been taken out, it allows nature to heal the affected part through its agency, pure blood. Here are the words of Mr. Lurlgir Duguay, Pidgeon Hill, Quebec: "The experience which iny wife has lind with Dr. Chnse's Ointment for eczema nnd salt rheum is of very great Importance, because 'or many months she wns not nble to servo herself with her hands, Since having used Dr. Chase's Ointment she bus been entirely cured." In the most simple ns well ns the most aggravated skin irritation or eruption, this ointment is certain to give highly satisfactory results; 60 cents a box, at all dealers, or Ed- manson, Bates & Co., Toronto. Last of the Spanish Fleet at the Bat* tie of Manila Bay. "What was It like, that battle of Ma nlla Bay. do you ask?" The thunders of heaven would have been lost in its din. It was fierce and fast, like the rolling of all the drams in the world or like bolts of heavy sailcloth torn into shreds by the wind. What a picture it would make���that battle, the last of the Spanish fleet, the Don Antonio de Ulloa. She fought, sinking a foot a minute! Gun nfter gun went under, aud when tbe last onset was made only her bow gun remained. Its crew, waist deep in water, fought as though victory was crowning tbem. It was theirs to fire the last gun upon that eventful day, and we cheered them as they sank. Those are the tilings men will write about, but memory alone can paint a picture so terrible that the moon, that old night watch of the universe, hid behind friendly vapors that she might not see the embers of war as they glared through the portholes and spon- sons of half sunken ships, while ever and anon exploding magazines would tear the waters, and flames of yellow and red flaunt above all that was left of Spain's wreckage.

His wife was preparing a large mustard plaster to apply to his shrunken chest "My dear," said Hood, "that's a terrible lot of mustard for a small piece of beef." Sir Walter Raleigh expressed himself in a similar mood after he mounted the scaffold. Feeling the edge of the ax, he snld to the executioner, "This is a sharp medicine, but it Is a cure for all diseases." An Italian nobleman, probably beguiled by patent medicine advertisements, left this Inscription for his gravestone: "I was well, wanted to be better, took physio and died." Charles Knight suggested that "Good Knight" would be sufficient for his memorial tablet.

Wholesome Advice For Boys. Now, you lads who want to leave school, don't be ln such a hurry to be earning something. Think of the future prospect rather than the preseut advantage.

It is just seventy-nine years ago since General Booth was born in that great industrial centre, Nottingham, England, and it is forty-three years ago that he began his work of organization which has resulted in the Salvation Army as we know it to-duy, an Army whicli bus in this comparatively small space of time taken a firm hold upon fifty-three countries of the globe. Hut for the dominating personality of the general, a personality as emphatic in its particular sphere as that of Napoleon in another direction, this could not have heen accomplished. Yet William Booth was not born of wealthy parents who could have brought the power of money to their son's assistance. He started as a boy of fifteen preaching in the worst slums of Nottingham. He sought the most sordid alleys, penetrated into that portion of slumdom where vice was hideous. Later, when he moved his campaign to London, he wns looked upon by many as a fanatic, for he pursued the same tactics. He was laughed at, hounded from pillar to post, stoned. And it was this persecution that made the Salvation Army, In those dark days of '65 when William Booth founded the Salvation Army, tlie churches were failing miserably to attract. Seeing this, the general knew that tho only course wns to go into the streets in search of converts. "Where will you get your helpers?" someone derisively nsked him. "There nre my helpers," be replied, pointing to n public-house door, from whicli drunken men and women were reeling. And, sure enough, these were the first to recognize this man's courage and rally round him. These open-air services were interrupted by rowdy gangs of hooligans, nnd the authorities laid the hlirmo on the preachers, and sent dozens to prison. Yet still the movement grew. The general,'-stern believer in the power of discipline, instituted the various well-known ranks in his Army. That of enptain was not intended to be a military term, but rather a nautical one, in order to pave the way to the conversion of tho Whitby fishermen. As the years crept past, the Salvationists became a force in the religion of the people, nnd from the little headquarters at the hack of the bird-shop in the East End the organization threw out its tendrils to all the towns of Britain. The Salvation Army is happy in its title, and it is the result of an inspiration which came to the genernl in a curious way. He was preparing tbe annual report one year with liis two secretaries, when one of them wrote, "The Christian Mission is n Volunteer Army." In a moment the present title flashed across the general's mind, and, taking the. pen from his secretary's hand, he scratched out the word "Volunteer" and substituted "Salvation." It hns alwnys been his aim to choose his leaders from the working-class, and among the most prominent heads of the Salvation Army to-day are a former collier boy and a chimney sweep, while many of the most famous hymns used by the force nre being written by an old engine driver. Merit and work are the only things that count. The general's method of living hns, no doubt, largely accounted for his longevity, and his magnificent powers being still left intact at 79. His daily life is simplicity in the extreme. In spite of his age, he still rises at six in the morning, takes a strong cup of tea, and then works till eight. He never allows himself more than a quarter of an hour for nny meal, and he never eats meat. He is a strict vegetarian, and has always been so. He suffers a good deal from insomnia, so often works on till eleven or twelve, till sheer mental fatigue produces Bleep. As for dress, he has but one suit of clothes a year, and he lives on a small sum which the average bank clerk would find grossly insufficient.

Madden with the thirst, the mares forgot their training, all save five, who, forgetting their own urgent need, galloped back at once to seek their musters.

It is often snid that in these days science is becoming materialistic. A passage from a recent lecture by Sir Wm, Ramsay, the groat chemist, on radium, shows that this is certainly not true of that distinguished investigator. Sir William in closing Raid: Medical men have been experimenting with radium as a possible cure for ulcers of various kinds on tlio liumnn body. I run not an authority on this subject, but 1 nm told that in certain cases of rodent ulcer���a very terrible disease���the effect of the beta rays of radium has lieen to produce n cure. People ask whether cancer can be cured. I suppose 1 nm right in saying that it hits not been cured, but I nm told that great strides have been mado within the last *fc\v montiis by one of the professors at tho Royal College of Surgeons. Tutting aside tho absolute use to human needs of radium, might I suggest that one ol tlie most important uses is with regard to the objects around us? It we can expluin them and their method of working, we shall havo made great advances. We scientific men have faith in the laws of nature and the constancy of its action. Wo havo hope that we shall live to discover much yet and gain a greater insight into thinking the thoughts of Clod. I have mentioned faith and hope: but the apostle names another Important virtue, charity, and I think you will agroo that, fascinating as tho exorcise of faith and hope is in science, still morn important is tho exercise of charity. ���*���_*_ ,.a*__.i J.

Sneak'.:,���. of Grain, In the United States when one spenk3 of "corn," maize is always meant. In England "corn" is iipplied to all cereals, especially wheat, In Scotland "corn" means onto. Germans use the word in tlie sumo sense ns tho English. Carlyle, being n Scotchman, ln writing of Frederick tho Greut ullows himself to refer frequently to Frederick's "meal enrts," when, strictly speaking, ho should have said "grain carts." What tho bread of Frederick's soldiers was made of wns wheat and rye, not "corn" in the restricted Scotch sense. In Scotland a "cornfield" la only a field of oats. Junileson reniarlca that the term "corn" in northern Europe is used to denote that species of the grain most in use In any particular region. Hence iu Snellen and Iceluuil the term denotes hurley.
