Single Copies 5c. We learn from a contemporary that, at the instance of the locnl government, a representative of the Charles Urban Trading Co., London, will leave England this month en route for British Columbia. He will be conducted over the ������province and is lo to tuke photographs illustrative of the fruit growing, mining, lumbering, logging, and other industries. The chief scenic beauties of the province will also find a place. The photographs will be reproduced on the bioscope in all the principal music halls and places of entertainment throughout, the British Isles during the coming winter. This is a scheme which we have often advocated, and now that there is every probability of the scheme materializing, we hope to see the Slocan occupy a prominent position amongst the exhibits, as we bave no hesitation ie saying that for scenic beauty the district is unrivalled, and offers distinct advantages to the tourist and honieseeker. The Slocan is also abundantly rich in fruit lands, and whilst being specially adapted for fruit growing, other industries such as mining, lumbering, logging, etc., flourish within its boundaries. Mining Fatality at Sandon. . *:-;*��� A "missed bole" has sent another local miner to eternity. 'John Anderson, whilst working at the Surprise mine, near Sandon, last Friday afternoon, was terribly mutilated from an explosion that occurred presumably through his own fault. ft appears tbat the unfortunate man was working in the same spot in the drift in the morning, and he set the powder himself ln the hole which lie had drilled, but whicli evidently did not* take the fuse which he had inserted before going off shift in (he morning. The old story of inserting the steel into the hole, a loud explosion, and the ranks of the miners thinned by one. Such events are frequent. The unfortunate fellow's arras were blown off, bis head ton. .(rom his body, and bis body terribly lacerated. Coroner Gomm made an enquiry into the cause, and deemed an inquest necessary. We understand a brother of the deceased man met a similar dealii a year ago in a mine in tlie Nelson district. The remains were taken (b Nelson fo r interment. How's This for High?

On Sunday Inst some excitement was caused by an Indian woman arriving in town with a story to the effect that an Indian had been killed by two white men. Upon investigation by Constable Scott it was found to be only a drunken brawl, and on Monday the two white men were before Magistrates Jordan and Abriel and were fined .50 each for supplying liquor to the Indians. This should be a lesson to these men���we refrain from mentioning any names��� as we are informed by the magistrates should a case like this happen again, the penalty will be much heavier. While playing on an old boat at the Wharf, two boys named Miller and Herriage, fell in and the Herriage boy immediately sank, but through the efforts of young Miller be was rescued in the nick of time.

Dr, MePhee, one of the directors of the Rambler-Cariboo mine, met with a severe accident on Wednesday. Together with tbe other directors who were in this week to attend the annual meeting of stockholders, a visit was made to the face of the 4,000 ft. tunnel, and on making the return trip, the speeder conveying the party collided with a car that bad been left standing in the tunnel. Dr. MePhee was seated in front of the car with his legs hanging down, and be met the full force of the contact. His leg waB smashed terribly. There were two doctois on the car, also directors, who upon gaining the portal, immediately proceeded to attend to their suffering friend. His leg had to be amputated above the thigh.

Wbittier has been in charge of operations at this mine, driving a long tunnel to tap the vein at 450 feet below tbe old workings. This tunnel will be about 1,500 feet long when completed. So far 450 feet of it has been driven and occasional pockets of galena found, whilst a large body of zinc ore has been encountered. It will bo late next year before tbis long tunnel is finisned. This same company has a lease and bond on the "Bluebird," and iB taking out some good galena ore. Owing to the continued litigation, nothing much was done on the Slocan Star property; some development, bat no ore shipped. Vancouver.���This mine is doing re markably well at present, and is turn* ing ouf 10 tons of silver lead concentrates and 10 tons of zinc concentrates every 24 hours. Some 12,000 tons of ore bave been milled, which has made 1,050 tons of zinc concentrates, 850 tons of silver-lead concentrates and 70 tonsof hand-sorted galena. Development consists of 1,270 feet of drifting, cross-cutting, etc. An average force of 50 men has been employed, but at present tbe company has 70 men on the pay roll. Nothing much is being done on the Washington mine, as the company is waiting for a more favorable market for zinc, having large bodies of that ore blocked out. Some 25 tons of galena has been shipped this year. Dr. Gomm is still pounding away on the Ya-Ya and has driven about 350 feet of a drift and expects to get bis ore body at any time. The Wakefield, Buffalo, Mountain Con, Ruth, Wonderful, American Boy, Sunset, California, Alamo-Idaho, Queen Bess, Corinth and Sunshine have nearly all shipped some ore and done some development work, but I am unable to state just the amounts. Fruit Rates. The Fruit and Produce Exchange of B.C. has arranged with the Dominion Express company for the following rates for the carriage of fruit: Car lots min. 20,000 lbs., refrigerator service from Kootenay landing and all points on the mainland of B.C. to points on the main line of thc C.P.R. as far east as and including Winnipeg, rates, $3 per 100 lbs. Car lots min. 10.000 lbs., air cooled, car as above. Rate, prevailing L.C.L. charges. These rates have been established expressly for the purpose of inducing assembled shipments, avoiding continuous handling, which method has resulted in far reaching success ainong'JAmerieaii shippers. Advice must be given to the express company in advance of^require- ments for cars. The mininum load in ventilated cars, 10,000 lbs., is approximately 800 to 350 crates, and the maximum load 20,000 lbs., in cars under ice, is approximately GOO to 650 crates. R. lfelme, superintendent of tbe Dominion Express company at Vancouver, has taken a lively interest in_,the welfare of the indiistsy and is largely responsible for these concessions.

LOG BOOM BREAKS AWAY. Patrick Lumber Lose $75,000 Worth Of Timber in a Boom Burst. Seventy-five thousand dollars worth of limber, the property of the Patrick Lumber Company, of Sloran, is now floating towards the Pacific ocean. This repie��pn.8 about nine million feet of lumber, and the l<*ss is such a heavy one that the company has been compelled to shut down. The big log drive from the camps along the Slocan River had only just about concluded and nil the timber had been coialled into tbe newly constructed dam in readiness for the first cut of the new company's mill, which Is about completed, when in one disastrous swoop, the big boom bursts, and now all along the Columbia river for miles the logs are strewn and disaster stares the company in the face. It is, however, hoped that many of the logs wil be picked up by the booms of other mills along the Columbia, and all the mill owners have been telegraphed to. The accident is particularly a bard blow to the Slocan at this juncture as much had been hoped fot from the successful operation of the company, which bad started on so pretentious a scale. Three piers were constructed to bold the boom tn place, and whether through defective workmanship or not, no one seems able to guess, but the centre pier was washed away in the high tide now prevailing, and tbe gates thus opened let ont the logs, and all the wages, labor and winter's cut, are lost. Liberals in Convention. The Liberals of Kootenay mingled at Nelson last Thursday for the purpose of nominating a candidate to contest Kootenay in the coming Dominion elections. The candidates in tbe field were J. F. Deane, Nelson, G. O. Buchanan, Kaslo, nnd Smith-Curtis, Kaslo. For some reason or other the faithful chose lo nominate what is generally supposed to be the weakest man, Smith-Curtis coming out top of the poll, and murmurings are to be heard everywhere. Smith-Curtis is a man who can change his mind as often as he changes his socks. Of late years be has been what may be classed a nondescript politician, but first he was what he was pleased to call a Joe Martin Liberal, but he and Joe failed to hit it off, and so he became a straight Liberal. Then he wss a labor man with a sort of Socialistic leaning. Anyhow, he got trimmed iu the last provincial campaign, and bo there will be two defeated candidates in that mix-up trying to secure the seat to represent Kootenay in the Dominion house. There is humor in the situation, and it is being appreciated. The vote at this convention was as follows:���Curtis, 70; Buch.nan, 30; Deane, 22. It should have been the other way round. Perry Siding Progress. It is stated here that tho wagon road from Slocan Cily toLemonton will probably be extended to Perry Siding this summer. This would provide a splendid eight-mile wagon road for the ranchers of this now fust-growing settlement, as the five miles already built between Leinonton and ihe Slocan lake cily is one of the best roads in Kootenay. Never before in their history did the ranches iu this eistriet look better lhan tbey do at present and with another month of the same weather as is now prevalent a bumper crop is assured. Several deals have been mad. in fruit lands in this vicinity recently and the results attained by the lancbersare encouraging more settlers t > come in bore and take up land. Arrangements are under way for the opening of a school at this point in the near future. Altogether the whole valley is a scene of activity and more additional land wil be put into cultivation this year than in any previous* year, clearing forming a good proportion of the work which must of necessity lie done this season.

TIIK SLOCAN MINING REVIEW, NEW DENVER, B. C. GAe REFUGEES By A. CONAN DOYLE. Author of "Thc Return o! Sherlock Holmes" Copyright, 1883, by Harper & Brothers (Continued) -An, sire, l would mat you eoula see that great land. It is so vnst, sire, so rich, so beautiful! Where are tbere such hills, sucb forests, sucb rivers? And it is all for us if we will but take It. Who is there to stand in our way��� a few nations of scattered Indians and n thin strip of English farmers aud fishermen. Turn your thoughts tbere, sire, aud In a few years you would be able to stand upon your citadel at Quebec and to say tbere is one great empire here from the snows of the north to the warm southern gulf and from the waves of the ocean to the great plains beyond Marquette's river, aud the name of this empire is France, and her king is Louis, and her flag ls the fleurs-de-lis." "On my word, count," said tbe king, "you have caught something of this gift of Indian eloquence of which we hnve heard. But about these English folk. They are Huguenots, are tbey not?" "For tbe most part, especially In tbe nortb." "Then It might be a service to the holy church to send them packing. Tell me now, Frontenac, what force would you need to clear these people out- one regiment, two regiments and perhaps a frigate or two?" But the ex-governor shook bis grizzled head. "You do not know tbem, sire," said be. "They are a stern folk, these. We In Canada, wltb all your gracious help, have found It hard to hold our own. To put New England into your majesty's hands I would ask 15,000 of your best troops and twenty ships of the line." Louis sprang Impatiently from his chair and caught up his cane. "Tbe matter may stand until our council. Reverend father, it has struck the hour of chapel, and all else may wait until ���we have paid our duties to heaven." CHAPTER III. WHILE Louis bad been affording his court that which he had openly stated to be tbe highest of human pleasures, the sight of the roy.il *face, tbe young officer of the guard outside had been very busy passing on the titles of the numerous applicants for admission and exchanging usually a smile or a few words of greeting with tbem, for his frank, handsome face was a well known one nt the court Three years ago he had been an unknown subaltern bush fighting with Algonquins and Iroquois in the wilds of Canada. An exchange bad brought bim back to France and Into the regiment of PIcardy, but tbe lucky chance of having seized the bridle of tbe king's horse one winter's day in Fontainebleau when the creature was plunging within a few yards of a deep gravel pit had done for bim what ten campaigns might have failed to accomplish. A gentleman very richly dressed In black and silver advanced, as tbe door opened, with the assured air of a man whose rights are beyond dispute. Captain de Catinat, however, took a quick step forward, and barred hlm off from tbe door. "I am very sorry, M. de Vlvonne," said he, "but you nro forbidden the presence." "Forbidden the presence! I?* You are mad!" lie stepped back wilh gray face and staring eyes, one shaking hand half raised iu protest. "I assure you that it Is his order." "If I could have one word with the king." "Unfortunately, monsieur, it Is Impossible." The angry nobleman stamped bis foot and stared at tbe door as though he had some thoughts of forcing a passage. Then, turning on his heel, he hastened away down the corridor with tbe air of a man wbo bas come to a decision. "There, now," grumbled De Catinat to himself, as he pulled his thick dark mustache, "be is off to make some fresh mischief. I'll have his sister here presently, as like ns not, and a pleasant little choice between breaking my orders and making an enemy of her for life. By my faith, here is a lady, as I feared. Ah, heaven be praised, It Is a friend and not a foe. Good morning, Mile. Nanon." "Good morning, Captain de Catinat." Tbe newcomer was a tall, graceful brunette, her fresh face and sparkling black eyes the brighter ln contrast witb her plain dress. "A note from Mine.' de Maintenon to the king. You will baud It to him, will you not?" "Certainly, mademoiselle. And bow is madnine, your mistress?" "Oh, her director has been witb her nil the morning, and bis talk is very, very good, but it is nlso very, very sad. We nre not very cheerful wben M. Godot bas been to see us. But I forget monsieur Is a Huguenot and knows nothing of directors." "Oh, but I do not trouble about sucb differences." "Ab, if monsieur could talk to Mme. de Maintenon a little! Sbe would convert him." "I would rather talk to Mile. Nanon, but If"- "Oh!" Tbere was an exclamation, a whisk of dark skirts, nud the soubrette disappeared down a side passage. Along tlie broad lighted corridor was gliding a very stately and beautiful lady, tall, graceful and exceedingly haughty. The ludy was past her first youth, It Is true, but tbe magnificent curves of her queenly figure, the purity of ber complexion, the brightness of her deep lushed blue eyes and the clear regularity of her features enabled her still to claim to be tbe most nandsome us well as the most sharp tougued woman In the court of France. "Ah, It is Captain de Catinat!" said Mine, de Montespan, with a smile. "Your humble servant, marquise." "I am fortunute in finding a friend here, for there bas been some ridiculous mistake this morning." "I am concerned to henr It." "It was about my brother. M. de Vlvonne. It Is almost too lauehable to mention, ,.ur ne waB actuaiiy rerusea admission to tbe lever." "It was my misfortune to bave to refuse him, madame." "You, Captain de Catinat? And by wbat right?" She bad drawn up her superb figure, and her large blue eyes were blazing witb Indignant astonishment. "The king's order, madame." "The king! Is it Vkely that the king would cast a public slight upon my family? From whom had you this preposterous order?" "Direct from the king through Bontems." "Absurd! Do you think that tbe king would venture to exclude a Mortemart through the mouth of a valet? Go, tell tbe king that I am here and would have a word with him." "Impossible, madame. I have been forbidden to carry a message." "To carry any message?" "Any from you, madame." "Come, captain, you Improve. It only needed this Insult to make the thing complete. You may carry a message to the king from any adventuress, from any decayed governess"���she laughed He slipped In front of her. shrilly at her description of ber rival��� "but none from Franeolse de Morte- m^rt, Marquise de Montespan." "Such are my orders, madame. It pains me deeply to be compelled to carry them out." "You may spare your protestations, captain. You may yet find that you have every reason to be deeply pained. For the last time, do you refuse to carry my message?" "I must, madame." "Then I carry it myself." She sprang forward at the door, but he slipped ln front of her with outstretched arms. "For God's sake, consider yourself, madame!" he entreated. "Other eyes ore upon you." 'Tab! Canaille!" She glanced at the knot of Switzers, whose sergeant had drawn tbem off a few paces and who stood open eyed, staring at the scene. "I tell you that I will see the king." "You will ruin me if you pass." "And none tbe less I sball do jo." The matter looked serious. De Catlnat was a man of resource, but for once he wns at his wits' end. Mme. de Montespan's resolution, ns It was called in her presence, or effrontery, as it was termed behind her back, was proverbial. If she attempted to force her way, would he venture to use violence upon one who only yesterday held the fortunes of the whole court iu the hollow of her baud and who, with ber beuuty, her wit and ber e.iergy, might very well be In the same position tomorrow*? If she passed him, then his future wns ruined with the king, who never brooked the smallest deviation from his orders. "If madnme would deign to wait," snid he soothingly, "tbe king will be ou his way to tbe chapel In an Instant." "It Is not yet time." "I think the hour has just gone." "And why should I wait like a lackey?" "It is but a moment, madame." "No, I shall not wait." She took a Btep forward toward the door. But the guardsman's quick ear bad caught the sound of moving feet from within, nnd lie knew that he was master of the. situation. "I will take mafia nie's message," said he. "Ah, you bnve recovered your senses! Go. tell tbe king that I wish to speak with him." He must gain a little time yet. "Shell I say It through the lord In waiting?" "No; yourself." "Publicly?" "No. no; for his private ear." "Shall I give a reason for your request?" "Oh, you madden me! Say what I have told you, and at once." But the young olllcer's dilemma was happily over. At that Instant the double doors were swung open, and Louis appeared in the opening, strutting forward on bis high heeled shoes, his stick tapping, his broad skirts flapping and bis courtiers spreading out behind bim. He stopped ns he came out and turned to the captain of the guard. "You bave a note for me?" "Yes, sire." The monarch slipped It Into the pocket of his scarlet undervest and wns advancing once more when bis eyes fell upon Mme. de Montespan standing vory stiff and erect ln the middle of the passage. A dark flush of anger shot to bis brow and be walked swiftly past ber without a word, but sbe turned and kept pace wltb him down the corridor. "I had not expected this honor, madame," said he. "I wished to hear my fate from your own lips," she whispered. "I can bear to be struck myself, sire, even by him who has my heart, but It is hard to hear that one's brother has been wounded through the mouths of vulets and Huguenot soldiers for uo fault of bis save tbat bis sister bas loved too fondly." "It Is no tinle to speak of sueh things." "When can I see you, then, sire?" "Iu your chamber nt 4." "Then I shall trouble your majesty uo further." Sbe swont hlm oue of tbe crnceful courtesies for which she was famous, and turned away down a side passage with triumph shining in her eyes. (To be Continued.. POLICE KNOW ALL "REDS." Recent Plots Against Monarchs Probably Hatched on British Soil. At the present time there are no fewer than 3,800 Anarchists in London, all well known to the police. The bulk of them are the dreamers, philosophers, speechmakers, and writ* ers of the movement. Some of them even discourage the bomb ' throwing policy, though they allow that an Anarchist is entitled to take what course he pleases. Others again organize revolutionary plots abroad. Many an Anarchist atrocity which has startled the world has been planned in the neighborhood of Soho and Tottenham Court road. People are often puzzled to know at what Anarchists aim, aside from the mere wanton destruction of human life and property. "Please govern me as little as possible," wrote a famous jurist not long ago. Carry that to its extreme, and say "I won't be governed at all," and you get the Anarchist creed. He is at open war with any and every authority which restricts his license to do whatever he pleases, when he pleases, and how he pleases. He is anti-monarchist, anti-republican, anti-suffragist. He calls for free contracts on a basis of equality between man and man, subject to repudiation or revision at nny moment. He says all land and nil capital belongs to nil society, and is therefore common property. That society may obtain possession of its own under this wild freedom of the individual, all authority must be destroyed. Witb human nature perfected and beautified, with every man not only good and wise, but equally good and wise, the unfettered liberty of the individual would mean the millennium, because everybody would act towards his neighbor with perfect goodness and perfect justice. But human nature being what it is, a jumble and welter of good and bad and middling of selfishness and sacrifice, of wisdom and folly, of knowledge and ignorance, personal liberty must be subject to restrictions and limitations, and that is the happiest and most prosperous people whose system of government allows the widest liberty within the justest laws. It ia the wide liberties of England which makes it possible for 3,800 Anarchists to shelter in London. England allows the widest possible liberty even to them. Here they a��e not hounded down for their opinions; they are only punished when they come in actual conflict with the law. But even in England, if the initiative Anarchist determined on assassination or bomb-throwing, it would be practically impossible to prevent him. Though he may be a member of an Anarchist group, more often than not other members of the group do not know what he is going to do. Many of the papers circulating among Anarchists in London and elsewhere tell how bombs may be manufactured; and with a bomb or an infernal machine in his pocket society has no defense agninst him. Hundreds of public buildings in London are at his mercy. The movements of our statesmen and grent capitalists are more or less public. Yet Anarchist outrages are rare, and this may be accepted as the Anarchist tribute that the laws are in general among the most just in the world. The Growth of London. The volume of statistical abstracts issued by the London County Council contains all sorts of interesting information on every variety of subject connected with the metropolis. For the year 1906 Hnmpstead is the borough with the smallest number of deaths per thousand of population, 9.4 being the figure, while to maintain the balance the same borough stands at the bottom of the list in the birth-rate with 16 5 per thousand. In the whole of London in the same year 124,880 children were born, as compared with 126,620 births in the preceding year. Stepney headed the list with 10,811, or 35.3 per thousand. Deaths for the metropolis in 1906 numbered 71,813, an increase of 1,363 on the previous year. In other words, of 1,000 people living 15.2 died in 1906, as compared with a level 15 in 1905. Of course, in point of actual numbers the city of London rejoices in the lowest figure for both births and deaths, owing to its comparatively small resident population, but its rate per thousand is in neither case so low as Hampstead. On another ��_page we learn, that in the county of London there are 957 elementary schools which are attended by-890,593 children ��� representing about one-fifth of the total population of the county. No figures for the total population of Greater London are given for later than 1901, but in that year the inhabitants���man, woman and child- numbered 4,536,433. How greatly the metropolis is growing in regard to mere bricks and mortar may be inferred from another set of statistics which are reckoned down to April of last year. In that month we nre told tbere were 629,853 rated bouses in London, nn increase of over 3,000 on the previous year. The ft.ll rateable value was close upon ��44,000,000, working out at ��9 8s. per head, as compared with ��8 Its. per head in 1901. Typist Charmed Prince. Miss Fritz, the champion typist, was sitting at her machine in the business exhibition at the Olympia on a recent afternoon when the Prince and Princess of Wales came by. "They tell me you hnve done some wonderful things, Miss Fritz," said the prince. "We should like to see your work.'' Forthwith tbe girl's fingers moved rapidly over the keyboard, and in sixty seconds she handed the prince 113 words properly punctuated and without a single error. "Wonderful," snid the prince. "Do you mind signing it?" And His Koyal Highness carried the souvenir away over tbe signature of Rote L. Fritz. At another stand the prince snid: "I don't think I could ever learn to work that."

No. 684. VERY QUEER PEWS. Amusing Oddities of Some Ancient English Churches. Some pews in the fine old church at Malpas, Cheshire England, possess a most amusing peculiarity. Each one consists of several seats, which are really, though not apparently, detached, and they look easy and comfortable. In this ease appearances are deceitful, for should one occupant of any one seat lean forward while "nidnid nodding" over he goes on the floor. The seat is so constructed as to easily tip over when any weight is placed on its outer or front edge and was so designed to prevent people from going to sleep in church. We still find in a few of our ancient churches the high pews, luxurious cushions and curious fittings of former days. In the good old times, wben the squire was lord of all be surveyed in the village, his pew in the parish church was often a kind of sitting room. One such pew occupies the whole of the south transept of "the diminutive church at Gatton, in Surrey. It has a fireplace, a low seat which extends around two sides of the room and blue tapestry decoration. Above it is another floor, on which are three or four ordinary pews for the use of the squire's servants, nnd from it a covered wny leads to Gatton Hall, some few yards away. There may be some truth in the story that a former squire used to enjoy ,1 pipe by tbe fireplace during the sermon and that if be became weary he would go out through the private door for a short stroll in the churchyard. A Bimilar ppw exists in n church nt Colwich, Staffordshire. It hns a staircase lending to n private door, and it is snid that the postman cnme this way to convey letters and that the servant brought in e.ike and wine for consumption during the service. Tlie roynl pew of St. George's elinn- el, Windsor, is peculiar, because it is the largest, of its kind in England nnd on account of its being situated above the choir, down unon which the Queen cn see the service from a fine oriel window. Tn little Benjamin Church. Norfolk, is n pew for strangers and wed- dinc parties. Tt was constructed bv n shepherd nnd bears a cheerful, suggestive piece of ornamentation in the shape of the carving of a skeleton. Royalty and Railways. Two interesting personalities nre soon to retire from tbe railway world. Mr. Geor.e Wright, the superintendent of Victoria station, on the London, Brighton & South Coast line, is giving up bis post in July; and tbe retirement of Mr. Jno. Queen, tbo stationmaster at the South-Eastern & Chatham terminus, has already been nnnounced. They nre officials wbo have heen responsible at their respective stations for the safety nnd comfort, of the long list of royal persons, English and foreign, who bnve traveled to nnd from the continent by Victoria. Mr. Wright bas given some reminiscences of those roval comings nnd goings during his 2!) years in elmnre of the Brighton station. Queen Victoria was n fienuent visitor to the station on hor way to and from Osborne. Wben the Oueen died, Mr. Wright wns responsible for the arrangements for conveying the body from Osborne to Victoria, and King Edward expressed his high appreciation of them. Of the late King of Portugal and the late Crown Prince Mr. Wright has tbe plensantest recollections. "Most, kindly nnd genial" is his description of the murdered monarch. Tbe two royal personages who preferred to t.ravpl slowlv were Queen Victoria and the late Shah of Persia. Her Mnjesty never cared to travel at a speed higher thnn from 40 to 45 miles on hour; and the Shall was frightened if a speed over 20 miles an hour were attained. In February, 1884. part of the station was blown up by Fenians. A Gladstone-bag bad been'deposited in the cloakroom containing dynnmite, and when this exploded it wrecked the cloakroom and the ticket office, besides doing other damage. Mr. Wright, who lived in the neighborhood, heard tbe noise of tbe explosion, and hurried to the station. He found that the flames had been speedily extinguished. One station hand, who at the time of the exploaion was fixing the fire-hose near the cloakroom, alone was injured, but not seriously. After the Victoria explosion a search was made at the other railway stations, and at Paddington and Charing Cross Gladstone bags containing dynamite were found in the clonk- rooms. The dynamitards were never discovered. They escaped, it was believed, to America. Mr. Wright has only had to deal with one strike. This occurred many years ago, when be was on the western section. The engine-drivers went out on strike, but retu-ned after two days. Guards were pressed into service as firemen in order to keep the service running. Since Mr. Wright took charge of the station the traffic lias been multiplied by three. Decrease of Crime. Tho number of people tried for in- dictable offences In 1300 in England waB 59,079, as against 54,067 in 1857, wlion the population was forty per cent, less than now. This is reveuled in a Blue Book issued recently by the Home Office, giving tlie criminal statistics for 1906. Crime decreased that year. Four- fifths of crimes nre larcenies, and these diminish in good times. Drunkenness nnd crimes of violence tend to increase in good times. Prosecutions tor riot���common fifty years ago��� were now comparatively raro, and serious offences of pouching appeared to be fewer, but* the prosecutions for attempts to commit suicide had continuously Increased, . Cut of 10,390 persons convicted at assizes and ..c*ssi<iiis*lw_iity-sevi*n were sentenced to death, but of thiAe sentences eighteen were commuted to penal servitude for life.

Will you liolieve that most of tbe dyes which bave stained tbe fabrics of your clothes, thut tbe naphtha aud benziue which your tailor uses In removing stains and thnt even tbe sweetest perfumes ure all of tbem derivatives of coal. It was once said by a scientist, cleverer and more Imaginative tban most of bis kind, that coal is "buried sunshine." Something of the enormous extent of ancient coal forming jungles mny be conceived when it is said tbut our present forests would produce only two or three inches of coal if tbey, too, were subjected to a carbonizing process. The magicians who have wrought wonders with coal are tbe gnsinaker nnd the chemist. If coal is burned In the open nir, heat is produced and nothing left but n little ash. Burn It In a closed vessel, however, nnd the marvelous change occurs, Iu tbe first place, coal gas is produced nnd. chemically treated, ls supplied to every city borne. Furthermore, ammonia is obtained, important in modern agriculture because by Its means plants can he artificially supplied witb tbe nitrogen tbey need. Then, again, asphalt Is produced, much used In roadmalving although the retort Is not the ehiel source of Its supply. Lastly, a black noisome ooze Is collected whlcb goei by the name of "coal tar." It Is this which at the touch of (be modern chemist's wand Is transformed Into tin most widely different substances Im aglnable. The wonders of coal tar do not coast here.

THE HAT HABIT. A Custom That Is Neither Becoming Nor Health Giving. Why do bolh men and women persist In wearing lints? asks Pearson's Magazine. There are three reasons why we should wear clothes. We may wear them for tbe sake of decency, for the sake of warmth and for the sake of dis play. None of these reasons applies to the wearing of hats. Of course there are head coverings that are warm, such ns the Icelander's sealskin hood and the fisherman's toque; but, as a rule, there Is no renl warmth in tbe hat of either sex. When n woman pins a slight structure of straw and artificial flowers on tbe top of ber hair sbe never for an instant Imagines that the thing will keep ber from taking cold. The masculine top bat Is certainly warm on n hot day, but It is very far from warm iu cold weather. Neither are hats worn for the purpose of display. Doubtless there are times when women make the lint the occasion of displaying their fondness for dead birds, muslin flowers and oth er beautiful objects, but this Is only wben fashion has decreed tbat big hats shall be worn. At other times the female bat is so microscopically small that It could not be successfully used for displaying anything. As for men's hats, tbey never display anything except the atrocious taste which makes them fashionable. Wby, then, in tbe name of all that Is sensible, do men and women wear hats? As n rule, every man and every woman looks better without a hat than with one. This Is why we all take off our hats at the opera or at an evening party, and yet we cling to a custom that has not a word to be said in its b. ��� half. We persist in wearing the ugly useless nnd injurious hat. Why do we do It? I should like to lind a good Irish echo thnt would answer the question at length and In a satisfactory war. Hens.

A few years ago in England both the Conservative party and the Liberals, with the exception of the extreme radical section, were agreed that it was not the duty of the Government to provide any class of citizens with any of the necessaries of life, and among the necessaries of life were included good, habitable dwellings. It was held that to provide such necessaries fer any class was not the duty of the state, because if it did so it would inevitably tend to make that class depend not on themselves, but upon what was done for them elsewhere, and that it would not be possible to teach a worse lesson than "if you don't take care of yourself the state will tnke care of you." But things are changing. The Government has promised to bring a measure dealing with the housing question, especially in the crowded districts, and it is being pressed by the Socialist section of its party to provide the working classes with habitations at greatly lower rents than the market value paid elsewhere. This will be supported by a large number of" radicals, but strenuously opposed by the Opposition and many moderate Liberals. No one doubts the propriety and the right of the state to interfere in matters relating to the sanitary laws, and. looking nt the question as a mutter of snnitary reform there is much to he dune by legislation to take the working classes out of that miserable condition in which they find themselves, namely, that even if they wnnt decent houses they cannot find them. The evil to be grappled with is not one of modern growth. The rookeries have heen the growth of generations. It must take time and effort and it must cost money to effect a cure. The Gove *nment has promised old age pensions, the multiplication of small holders, the resuscitation of agriculture, town planning, better snnitary conditions of labor, the extinction of sweating, physical training of the people and other measures necessary to preserve the stamina of the .rnee and develop their intelligence and productive powers. None of these objects is opposed by the Unionists, but they are prepared ti start a crusade against what they call "revolutionary Socialism," and they regard the building of good dwellings at very low rents as a step toward revolutionary Socialism. In recent years a great deal has been done townrd solving the housing question. Cheap electric trams are run far into the districts known as "Greater London," but there are thousands of workmen who hnve to reside near tlieir work in wretched, squalid rookeries, in courts and blind alleys, where the sun never penetrates, which means an enormous waste of life in infnncv, a great waste of physical condition after infancy is passed and a waste of stamina in the present generation and in the generation which springs from it. County and borough councils have swent away a large number of unhealthy areas, but there are still many left. Religious Ideas in India. An illustration of the extent to which the religious idea dominates the lives of the people of India, even to the most minute details, is found in that most familiar of domestic utensils, the lota. The shape of this vessel, as used by Hindus (who always prefer brass, while the Mohammedans would give copper the first place, as being in their opinion the purest of metals), with its globular, melon- shaped body and elegantly-reflexed rim, is Baid to have its original in the partially-expanded flowers of the sacred lotus. The Mohammedans turn the lota into the tonti by adding a spout to it, because the Koran ordains that a man should perform his ablutions in running water, and the falling of water through the spout is considered to comply with this injunction. To these facts, mentioned by Sir Geo. Watt in his article on "Arts and Manufactures," in the "Imperial Gazateer," many parallels could be quoted. Some years ago, for example, when an order was issued that prisoners in Bengal gaols were to wear jerseys and pyjamas, instead of their ordinary clothes, the result was the utmost consternation. The Hindus objected because, they said, it waa against tlieir religious principles to eat food while wearing a garment which contained a seam, while the Mohemmedans protested that they were commanded to wear a garment sufficiently long to cover their heels when they knelt in prayer. In one ca.se, where the magistrate of the district brought in the pandits and moulvis to disabuse the prisoners' minds of these prejudices, he found that these learned gentlemen took the part of the objectors, maintaining that their scruples were thoroughly scriptural. Some Hindu prisoners almost straved themselves to death before they gave in, but discipline eventually prevailed. Reduced Size. After a concert at Manchester, Joachim, the great violinist, whose death occurred recently, was at the railway station, waiting for a train. A rtspcctable-lookitig man, apparently a navvy in his best clothes, paced at his side a while, watching him with close interest. Finally he asked Ior a light, and got it. As he drew at his pipe to get it started, he looked Joachim full in the face. Then, just as he was about to go on, h. tapped the violinist's chest impressively. * "But Paganini was the man," Baid he.

Birth of Baby Girls at Brighton With One Backbone. Brighton has furnished a parallel to the famous Siamese twins, a young woman having given birth to two little girls joined inseparably at the hips, their backbones meeting at the lower end of the body. They also hav. certain internal organs in common; otherwise they are finely developed children with every prospect of a vigorous existence. Dr. Booth, who attended at the birtL. says that the case is phenomenal. The children have evidently entirely separate individualities, for one has been noticed to wake up .and cry without disturbing the other, and one has had pain without the other being concerned. The doctor says: "I am trying to get the foster-parents to consent to an operation to separate the children, '��� but they demur. Sueh an operation might cause the death of one of them, for the twins, of course, have the same blood supply, but I think one of them would continue to live. "Joined as they are, any infantile disease, such as measles, which one might catch, would be sure to be communicated to the other. "I intend to exhibit the phenomenon to the Medical Society next week. Such a case I have never experienced before, ft, is extremely rare to find such children in apparently perfect health." A continuous stream of visitors has flown in and out of the little house, in wliich tliey are lying in a double cradle. The twins nre the daughters of a maid servant, and are now threo weeks old. One oi them has a slight cold, but the other is in perfect health. Tliey sleep peacefully in their cradle back to back It is intended to christen them Violet and Daisy. Suggestions have been made to the foster-mother for exhibiting the children in public, but it is her intention at present to allow only the medical profession to inspect them. ROBBERY BY HYPNOTISM. Marquis of Townshend Makes Oud Accusation Against Curate. A remarkable ease of hypnotism and blighted affection is occupying the attention of a London court, in which the Marquis of Townshend is one of the principals. The other is the Bev. Arthur Bobins, one time curate of the fashionable Holy Trinity Church. The Marquis is the plaintiff in the case, and he charges the curate with having hypnotically wheedled from him various large sums of money and valuable heirlooms, and also the love ol his beautiful wife, wliich tlie curate has deprived him of by slander. The Marquis .wept so hysterically when he related his woes on the witness stand that he could scarcely be understood. The plaintiff's story is that he studied hypnotism with the defendant, who found the Marquis so plastic a subject that he put him under hypnotic control and in that state secured many of the Townshend paintings, works of art and jewels, and also the Townshend ready money ���all under the simple scheme of making the Marquis think he didn't neod any ol the possessiohs. The affairs of the Marquis of Townshend have had many strange phases. In 1905 he married Gladys Ethel Gwendolen Eugenie, the beautiful daughter of Thomas Sutherst, a lawyer. The Marquis is a little, insignificant man, and not particularly bright, while the Marchioness is a woman of grent wit and intelligence. After the honeymoon, which waa a farce, there were legal entanglements over money matters, which were brought to topsy-turvy end by the declaration of wife and father-in- law that the Marquis was mentally incapable. Some sort of reconciliation was patched up, and since that time quiet has brooded over the Townshend menage. Courting Assassination. That some twenty rulers, elective as well as hereditary, have been assassinated within tlie pnst forty years, is largely due to a bravery which in some instances has closely approached foolhardiness. The late King Carlos of Portugal, for example, knew perfectly well that a plot against his dynasty had been hatched by desperate men, who would stick at nothing to accomplish their ends. Yet he drove through his capital to his death in an..open carriage, taking scarcely eV**n the most ordinary preeau tions. The unhappy Ozar Alexander of Russia, again, was warned, urged, implored even, not to venture forth on the dny he was blown to pieces by a bomb. But. he refused to listen, and even nfter the first explosion, insisted on quitting his sleigh to see to the wounded, instead of driving straight home, with the result that he met the death he might almost be said to have voluntarily sought. Then there was Ihe case of President McKinley, who could not be dissuaded from shaking hands with all tlie ragtag and bobtail of Buffalo, although warned by his secret police that he was risking his life in so doing. Similarly, President Carnot might be alive to-day hnd he followed the advice of M. Casmir-Perier and refrained from going to LyonB on that fatal day in June, 18C4. King Humbert was warned, not once, but many times, of the imnin- ent danger he was in nfter the political crisis of June 18th. 1900. Yet we find him, only six weeks later, driv- ing unescorted amongst the fanatical and turbulent populace ot Morna, where he was fatally shot. Of course, there are exceptions, King Alfonso, for instance, chose to drive to church to get married in a steel-clad, bomb-proof coaeh. To which precaution is due the fact that he and his queen are alive to-day. In the Rjoular Way. "Quilchley served a term for perjury? I never heard of that. How did it happen."

Astridge, of 3 St. Paul Street, St. Catharines, Ont., says: "For five years I suffered untold agony with protruding piles. No one knows the suffering one has to endure only those who are so unfortunate as to have them. The pain was so great at times I would almost scream. I went down in weight nnd had no appetite. I tried everything I heard of for piles, but got no relief. I went to several doctors, but they would give me little hope of ever- getting rid of them and I finally gave up in despair. One day a friend gave me a sample of Zam-Buk salve and told me of someone who had been cured. I decided to try it, and the relief I got was encouraging. I bought a box, and the piles kept -_n diminishing and the pain was getting less. I used three boxes and arn now completely cured. I wish I could have got Zam-Buk years ago, it would have saved me a great deal ol misery. One thousand dollars would be none | too small an amount to give for sucli a cure as mine.

Zain-Buk cures cuts, burns, chapped hands, cold sores, itch, ulcers, eczema, running sores, oatarrh, piles, bad legs, abscesses, face sores, spring eruptions and all skin diseases.

King Edward recently started out on his travels, and this brings to mind the fact that when His Majesty is about to undertake even a semi-incognito visit abroad it is the duty of hia body servants to see that he travels with an outfit capable of meeting any emergency. Foreign potentates are amazingly particular concerning sartorial etiquette. In. .this matter many an easy going and simple-minded monarch has remained quite mediaeval in his no-, tions of what it due to him. That is the reason why each royal personage is compelled to have such an amazingly large wardrobe, especially so complete and costly a collection of uniforms, and, of course, in many cases the question of "What shall I wear?" abroad is settled for royalty by the Draconian laws of international etiquette. Perhaps the fact that royal personages have to wear when traveling, and for long tiring hours, heavy uniforms to which they ore unaccustomed, and which perhaps they have only worn once it ever before, makes them more particular than humbler mortals concerning the comfort of their ordinary touring garments. This is particularly true of Edward VII.; His Majesty's lounge suits nre marvels of ease and comfort, and special care is taken In the matter of the royal footgear, particularly since the King's serious accident ut Wad- desdon some years ago. To give but one example, tho King does not use the usual "service" boots painfully familiar to every officer; in his ease these a:-e replaced by an easier make, which, though boasting of thick heels, have no brad* or nails. In this connection it may be stated that His Majesty never wears shoes, excepting when yachting; like the late Queen, he prefers boots for all occasions.

New York Physician Transfuses Father's Blood With Child's. Physicians and surgeons are discussing with the keenest interest ah operation recently performed by Dr. Alexis Carrel, head of the Rockefeller Institute, on the li'.tle daughter of Dr. Adrian V. S. Lambert,* whicli they regard as must convincing proof of the value of vivisection. Anti-viviseotiomsts are centering their attack on the Rockefeller Institute, and the fact that the operation was performed by one of the leading surgeons connected with it gives it a peculiar significance. In itself the operation is regarded as one of the most remarkable ever performed. The child was only five years old and was suffering from purpura, a disease of which little is known. Its symptoms are a weakening of the walls' of th'e arteries so that the blood escapes from all parts of the body. Dr. Carrel was called in when the life of the child was despaired of. The only possible hope lay in transfusion of blood. Dr. Lambert, the child's father, volunteered to give all his own* blood thnt was, necessary to save the chijd's life, and Dj*. Carrel undertook the operation in' spite of the slight chance* there, appeared to be of success. , . .*,..' >���* He was strapped to the baby and one of his' arteries, connected with the child's blood vessels. His blood rushed from his big healthy body into that of the child with such good effect that the bnby rallied almost immediately and is now not only out of danger, but fast gaining flesh and the rosy look a healthy baby ought to have. Friends of Dr. Carrel,;who declined with some abruptness to discuss the case, say that the operation would have been out of the question except for the skill gained from many similar operations on the lower animals. London School Attendance./ During the last six years there has been a decline of mnre than 10.000 in the number of children nttending.the elementary schools of London, and the official reporting the matter to the London County Council Board of Education says that one of the chief causes is the reduction which appears to be taking place in the average size of London families. There is no direct suggestion of race suicide, for the report says* "Some portion of the reduction in the average number of children in a family in the county of London is in all probability due to the fact that the larger families feel to greater extent than the smaller ones the economic pressure which tends to drive them from the centre of London to the outskirts of the county, and beyond the county. "As a rule, the larger the famil. the greater is the difficulty of finding suitable house accommodation in the more contrnl parts, and the stronger are the influences of attraction to the' suburbs." Escaped the Frost That Injured Much of the Whoat Last Year. A prominent business man whose interests demand a very close study of Northwest crop conditions, said recently : it is nu interesting fact that while there was a .shortage in most of the cereal crops last year, tlie flax crop of the Canadian West was larger than ever before. This was chielly due to the fact that flax can be sown later than wheat, bailey or outs ns it matures much more quickly so that in a short season witli early frost is is not so risky a.crop as wheat. Flax is very extensively grown in tlie Northwestern States, but uie fanners of Canada have never raised enough to supply tiie home market, so that huge quantities of flaxseed, ns well as linseed oil and other products of flaxseed, are imported every year. Millions of dollars have been sent out of Canada for flaxseed and its products and this money might just as well have been kept in Canada to circulate among tlie farmers of the west. Tin's is n mutter well worth tlie attention of newspapers circulating in the Can. adian West. "Flaxseed is used for a great variety of purposes and the demand for it ia Steadily increasing. The cliief crop of tlie west must continue to be wheat, but those farmers who sow a portion of their land witli flaxseed will have something to fall back on when their wheat crop is destroyed or injured by early frost." For Inflammation of the Eyes.��� __in___g the many good qualities which Parmelee's Vegetable Pills possess, besides regulating the digestive organs, is their efficacy in reducing inflammation of the eyes. It has called forth many letters of recommendation from those who were afflicted witli this complaint and found a cure in tlie pills. Tliey affect the nerve centres and the blood in a surprisingly active way, and the result is almost immediately seen. CHINESE WRITING. Every Scrap of Every Kind Is Held to Be Sacred. The Chinese hold every scrap of nritlug sacred, no matter wbat the characters express���the merest commercial message, advertisement, etc. Since Confucius used these characters to teach his wisdom tliey are holy. In the average Chinese community all letters and waste papers are laid nway in a clean receptacle to await the collector, who appears at regular Intervals to transfer the wasle papers to the sacred furnace. If thc papers were burned by the Chinese in their own homes, the nslies of the sacred writing!' would mingle with the ashes of wood and other fuel, and the ashes of Chinese writing are as sacred as the writing Itself. The ashes from lhe sacred furnace are placed In sacks, the sacks are conveyed by wagons to the sea and there, In a Mon War boat, are carrlsd out where the tide runs swift and consigned to the waves. The Mon War boat belongs to the Mon War Slier, which Is a lodge with branches everywhere, organized and maintained for the purpose of paying reverence to the spirit of Confucius. The furnace lu the Chinatown which nearly every large city lu the United States harbors Is generally n brick, ovenlike structure about five feet high. Opposite It on the wall there will usually be nn inscription of the character of the following: "The spirits of our ancestors are pleased that we keep sacred the writing of our country."

There hail not previously been a first-clnss practitioner in the town, and the people had been under the necessity of going by train either to one of the neighboring large towns or to London. Very quickly the dentist acquired a reputation, and the justification nf his experiment wns proved, by the fact that ln six months he had made no less than ��1,000.

The other answer is that history shows us many occasions when the great man wns needed, and when tlie need of him wns acutely felt,and yet wilt * one did not appear.

Fox Farming It is credibly stated that a very flourishing lox farm is being carried on in Prince county, Prince Edward Island. The parties conducting tlie same have met with great success, and each year put on the market large numbers of skins of various kiifds. Their success, it is said, is largely due to the fact thnt they have their farm divided off into sections, each section under the care of one person, no one else being allowed to approach it. In this way tlie animals become accustomed to the person in charge and grow very tame, but if a stranger approaches tliey will hide and not be seen for n dny or two. Many of the hides in tlieir green condition were valued at $200 to $250 encb, one or two reaching $450. A MERCHANT. He Used to Be One Engaged Exclusively In Foreign Commerce. Originally the term merchant was applied only to one who traded with foreign countries and who owned or .'bartered ships for that purpose��� Chaucer's "Marehaunt:" He woldo the see were kepud for eny- thlnge Betwixe MIddulburgh and Orewelle. The merchant of Venice had "on the ocean" his "argosies with portly sail," and so had all the other merchnnts about whom poets or historians have written. So also in the Bible there Is no confusion about the meaning of the word. One passage alone will serve as an illustration, "She is like the merchants' ships���she bringeth her food from afar" (rroverbs xxxl, 14). De Quincey, writing In the early part of the nineteenth century ("Autobiographic Sketches"), says: "My father was a merchant, not ln the sense of Scotland, where it means a retail dealer���ono, for Instance, who sells groceries In the cellar���but In the English sense, a sense rigorously exclusive���that Is, he was a man engaged In foreign commerce aud no other, therefore In wholesale commerce and no other," But now it is no longer necessary to "plow the Spanish main" to g!.e one this time honored title, for any one who sells eggs by the dozen or flannel by the piece is at once put down as a merchant.���Loudon Notes and Queries.
