Remensnyder, Pastor St. " James' Lutheran Church. If a man die, shall, he live again?-��� . [Job, xiv., 14. _ , 'Every natural, well-poised person holds life to be the dearest of all treasures. When, a philosopher like Bchopenha'ucr argues against the' good bf life we set him down as a pessimist. ;Only the morbid person, the misanthrope, the unhealthy mind lightly values life. Wrote John Stuart Mill:��� ' "The soul yearns "for life" And said Dr." Samuel Johnson :���"No wise man will be contented to die if he thinks he is to fall into annihilation." But ���vith this passion for life how fearful becomes the shadow , of death ���which palls the race of men 1 , Just when the powers are ripest the thinker, <���- ' the genius, the empire builder must idrop his' plans and retire from the stage of'life. Shall we wonder, then, that from of old wise men should have^ asked Job's"- great question, "If a man' die, shall he live again ?" 'And that ' great pagan, thinkers sought by natural '. p'roofs to construct a doctrine- of immortality ? The strongest of these, 'perhaps, was the historical one���that Mrawn from universal, belief. The Egyp- - tians, in the fabled bird the phoenix, rising.,from its own/ashes; the Ho- < meric poems, with Asheron and the realm of shades; theVHindu doctrine of me'ten.psyckosis,\ the transmigration 0f souls, and thc^hymns of the Rig- ITeda, the next' oldest book to* the Bible in the-world, all teach an ex- JsteBce beyond the grave. And are atot, such* universal belief*. reflection* ���f eternal truths ?, And do they not point to objective "realities, just as'the eye prophesies things to be seen and the bird's wing points to a medium Itted for- flight ? Hence wrote Victor Hugo :���"My thirst for tlie infinite proves *that my being is infinite. Winter is on my 'silvered head, but eternal spring is in, my heart." The , philosophical argument, based 1 Upon'the indestructibility of any sample entity, hat <��lso been resorted to. On this*.ground7" Plato held that "the ���oul wasT imperishable, and immortal." IfVnd, Kant,"v-,the - intellectual, giant .of .modern dimes,, deduced the same * re-^ ��ult from the voice of conscience,which - be called the "Practical Reason." The ethical argument, drawn" from the incompleteness and inequality and in-' < Justice "of this stage of being, has also been adduced. . ._ ' _ ' / And even science is not without its proof. For Professor Tait, in his Treatise on the Unseen Universe," shows that the modern discovery of , the conservation of force���that no j particle" of force, amid all changes ,is ��ver lost���indicates'the indissoluble nature of the soul: So*the indestructibility of matter and .the mystery of jlecp, "twin sister of death," bring fur ther corroborative proofs. \ Such are the reasonings by which . men in all ages have sought to frame i. Y n theory of immortality with which to break the lance of the grim tyrant, death. Addison has^thus strongly and ' beautifully voiced this sentiment-:��� ijjlt must be so; Plato, thou reasonest well; " jElse whence this pleasing hope, this r fond desire, , TThis longing after immortality ? " Or whence this secret dread and forward horro.r Ot falling into naught ? Why shrinks* the soul Back, on herself and startles at destruc- - tion ? Tis the divinity that stirs within us; - *Tis heaven itself -that points out an hereafter % ��� Knd intimates eternity" to man. t Yet what are theories.speculations and philosophies when confronted with the remorseless logic of facts? So,-with all their arguments, a tone of inconsolable lament and subdued despair characterizes ' the writings of the ancients. "Happier never to have been born." sing*! Sophocles, "than so soon |o pass through the hapless gates of Hades." And Hneckel's "Sleep of the ��oul," Huxley's "Engless Sleep" and Hume's "Leap Into the Dark" show ��he same doubt and scepticism among modern secular philosophers. And this, then, is the uniqueness and the glory of the Easter message. It meets fact wilh fact. It proclaims with a trumpet that rends the universal air :���"Christ has risen ! The Son of God has burst the bars of the grave ! The king of terrors is discrowned ! Jesus hath abolished death and brought life "and immortality to light !" This all men feel to be th^ most blessed and -significant fact of history. It is the cornerstone of Christianity. Well may Renan ad-n-.t that this Easter message has revolutionized the world. Naturally and rightfully, thinking men everywhere rose up and questioned its credibility. But Christ would have risen in vain had not the resurrection been satisfactorily attested. And so the Church formulated the evidence, and little by little the world 1 came to accept the Easter miracle as an indisputable historical fact And then the nightmare of ages lifted. The Sun of Tnimor- lalily rose to the zenith. A great inspiration uplifted humanity. The floodgates of historv were reversed. Rongji ...��� *-��r.afiwGfj with hope and gladness. Literature to��K on sunnier moods. Art bloomed with lovelier 'onus. Cemeteries lost their horror and became peaceful couches where the loved pilgrims slept the "sleep beautiful," to be wakened by the joyful trump of endless life. The 1 ace had undergone a new creation The resurrection of Jes,us is thus a demonstration of immoitality. And of '>ur personal immortality. For, as He was made man for us, so wc triumph >ver death in Him, our representative, knd so is it a demonstration of our personal resurrection. Immortality and Resurrection���were ever such twin truths heralded as' these ? And uot without a divi"e inspiration has the blessed Easten.Je been fixed by the Church at the season when the earth shakes off her winter's sleep; when the birds come back and the flowers .begin 'to bloom; when every seed that falls into the ground and dies, and rises again with a new body, is a witness to us oi the resurrection of Christ, ,and a witness to us that some day life shall conquer death, light con/juer darkness and joy conquer grief in that realn of immortal being where "there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any'more pain; for the former things are passed away" (Rev. xxi., 4). . m r, \ . ' Fortified, then, with this assuring Easter faith, let us, when our summons comes to quit -these mortal shores, make response with the tranquil mind of the Christian poet, Tennyson :���i. 'Sunset and evening star ! ��� And one clear call for me. -And may there be no moaning ��f tho bar When I put out to sea; For though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot "face-to face ' When I have crossed the bar. From the Shepherd's Notebook. .- The feet of every member of the flock should be trimmed before sent t�� pasture. - - < The best breed of. sheep is the one that suits'both taste and requirements. v'Liking' induces interest;. interest brings ' enthusiasm,, and enthusiasm pays in sheep-raising. -The shepherd that treats his sheep like friends is the most successful in their 'care. " A ram must be a typical specimen ol the breed he represents in order to secure "results expected. Pure,air and sunlight have a favorable''effect in the breeding of ewes. Their quarters should be kept dry. ���- Feeding a lot of rich-grain the first .few days, before .weaning is a common mistake, and causes a good deal of trouble, which often occurs both to the ewe and the lamb. If the ewe is weak at lambing time, oatmeal is one of the best and most strengthening foods. It is nourishing, increases the "milk flow, and prevents- bowel trouble in the offspring. The special twine made for tying wool should always be used, as unsuitable material is liable to interfere with certain parts of the machinery used in the separation of the wool. A lamb that is plump and fat with- 'out undue forcing with heating foods makes - the * best growth.���American Cultivator. * * , Killing Insect Pests. In the destruction of insect pests the remedies are designed to act in one or two ways. In one way the poison is taken into' the digestive tract, of the insect, and causes death., Th'is is done by simply coating' the plant with some poisonous substance , (such - as Paris ���green), whichcis taken by the insect with the food. -By the "other method the food is not poisoned, as the material (such as kerosene emulsion) is applied directly to the insect, and causes death either by penetrating the body directly or by closing the breathing pores. Many insects cannot be poisoned, as they feed upon the juices of plants (by sucking), and do not eat the external covering, but many of them have soft bodies, so that they succumb to treatment if the poison comes in contact with their bodies���kerosene emulsion usually proving fatal to them. All of the aphides, or lice, feed by sucking, as do also the true bugs, of which the squash bug is an example. For the chewing insects, such as canker worms, the poison should be evenly distributed over their iceding places, ,and may he applied before they are present, as in spraying for the codling iiu-tli before the insect is hatched. For sucking insects, it is useless to spray the plant before the insect appears. The cluei mmedy as a fungicide is the Bordeaux mixture, made by dissolving s-.x pounds of copper sulphate in skteeii gallons of hot water. In another vessel dissolve four pounds of lime in six gallons of water. Pour the lime water into the copper solution slowly, stirring well, and then add twenty gallons of cold water, and spray. For biting insects use Paris green, in the usual manner. For sucking insects use the kerosene emulsion, made by shaving a pound of hard soap and dissolving in a gallon of boiling water. Remove from the file, and add a gallon of kerosene, agitating or churning for fifteen 'minutes, with tlie sprayer, until a creamy substance is formed. Then add fifteen or twenty gallons of cold water. Kerosene will not mix with water, but will form an emulsion with soap and water.���Philadelphia Record. ' Not Adapted to Melons. An army officer sends the "Youth's Companion" an account of an experience he had when he was on duty along the Rio Grande. He put up one night at a small town in Cameron County at a time when- a session c-f the court, had filled the'town with strangers Some of the visitors were sitting on the piazza of the bo.u ding-house after sup per, and conversation turned upon, the fertility of soils. A stranger fiom Starr County, which is near Cameron, waited his'turn and, then said: , "Well, I reckon the most fertile piece o' ground in Texa3 is up 'on Ed Jones's ranch in old Starr.; The first time Ed plants potatoes they grows like young trees. Ed calculates on. how there is ��� sight o' vegetable energy going to w^ste. So he-sends oftyfer some tomato plants '-'and grafts 'cm 'on to the potato stock, and grows the finest lot o' tomatoes ,above end potatoes below you ever see." Tlie Starr County man had thrown <k>wn the gauntlet, and a Cameron maa took it up. . "Well," he said, "that reminds me ��' Bill Dury's ranch down on the arroyo. Bill is looking his ground over one day, when the idea comes,''to him that it ii just the spot to raise watermelon*. So he gets some of the very best seed from the Agricultural Department, and fertilizes all round permiscuous. ' "He plants Ave o. ��� six seeds' to each mound. When they come up he pulla up all but the healthiest one in each mound. When this one puts out runners he cute off all but the likeliest. Did any o' you gents ever hear'o' watermelons getting p. better ��tart than'" that? The vinee Jeep' growing bigger V -bigger. The young stalks was the sire o' yer wrist an' kep' growing. But, gentlemen, Bill never got any melons off them vines. Th�� trouble was this: he hadn't figured oa the natural fertility of old Cameroa County. His fertilizing caused the trou- ,ble. ���" ' '. "Them vlnea got to growing so ftwt .and powerful they kep* a-dragging the {young melons over the ground an* wore .'em out,' plumb wore 'em to a frazzle.

Then Bill give up." The teller of the,*rst story drew hta six-shooter from his hip-pockefc, .walked over to the teller of the' second' story, banded him the "gun" in token ot turn render, and said, "And bo do I." - * Advice to Young Writers.

Edison Will "Rest" Thomas A. Edison says he is tired and intends -to drop industrial science for two whole years and rest himself by taking up pure science and investigating the thousand and one properties of metals and chemicals that he has notes about in his book. He doea not consider this a strenuous vacation, but says: "AH I'm going to do is what every pure scientist does���the fellow who finds out the ao- tions oi metals and chemicals under different conditions and in various combinations by experimenting, but who does not apply the results industrially. Guided by my notes, I'm going to mix things in laboratory mortars and chemists' tubes and what not, and watch for results. That's all pure science does. It never tfliinks things out, like industrial science. It just blunders, stumbles against discoveries, while industrial science is the result, in greater part, of concentrated and consecutive thought. It will be fun, and maybe .I'll find out something worth while���who can tell? Anyway, I'm looking forward to a real good time." , ' Drug Habits. '. It Is' a regrettable fact, says the "Youth's' Companion," that nothing is easier to fonrf tham'bad physical habits, and nothing harder to break than such habits' when they have been formed. For this reason tlie watchful care of young people during the habit-forming period, of life should be Che duty of parents'and guardians. '' ; 1 Among these bad habits may be placed those little tricks of self-medication that ere so fatally easy to "fall into. Theie comes, for,example, the first attack of acne, an eruption of tho skin, to which many young people ofr both sexes aro 'subject for a year or'two". It-is, of couise, easier'to give a trial to some drug 'than it is to enter upon a selfr denying course of exercise and bathing, fresh air, patience, and abstinence from candy. The advertised drug may be harmless, in which cose it is likely to do no good. If it has some quickly potent effect, it possesses properties that should , leave it to the control of a trained physician who knows something of his patient before he writes a prescription. Young people, fortunately, are likely to.be good sleepers. When for any reason they are not, they are also likely to be more intolerant of the tedium of wake-" ful hours than are their more disciplined elders. Here again it is easy to experi- 'ment with someone of the many "quieting" medicines, so highly spoken of, so "harmless." A cool sponging off, five minutes' brisk exercise und a slowly sipped cup of hot milk would be much better, and would r pre vail eventually, if not the1 very first night. Many a victim of the morphine habit owes the'first impulse to the, self-prescribed quieting doses of some well-disguised, far-distant cousin of that valuable but much abused and dangcious drug. 1 It is a well-known fact that alcohol is the basis of many of the so-called tonics, and is to be found in considerable quantities in some'of them. Whatever opinion one may hold of alcohol as a medicine, nothing can be said in'favor of allowing it to masquerade in unknown quantities and doubtful quality in all sorts'of medicines put up for self-doctoring. No more insidious plan for the forming of a bad habit could- be devised. If -one needs alcohol one's doctor will know it, and how much and) what kind; and the safe way is to go to him for a prescription. W* have all heard of the man who was .unwilling to wash in the River"'Jordan 'because he expected that a miracle would be performed. The Jordan is, for all of us' the formation of clean, healthy, common-sense habits. Then we shall not need miracles. In' this connection the "Argonaut" points out that the health department of-. New York City has been investigating the adulteration of drugs there with startling results. Samples of phenacetin were obtained from more than three hundred'drug stores. Less than one-fifth of these were found to be pure. Some were adulterated with greater or leas percentages of acetanalid, others were pure oce- tanalid with no trace' of phenacetin' in them. As phenacetin costs one dollar an ounce, and acetanalid eighteen or twenty 'cents a pound, the incentive is apparent. Samples 'of tinctures to the number of two hundred and fifteen were also examined, and of these forty were found to contain wood alcohol instead of the real article. Wood alcohol is a poison, and in time produces blindness, paralysis and St. Vitus's dance. When examined, the .dealers confessed that they had bought the drugs from peddlers at from one-quarter to one-half of''the market price, without asking any questions. As large .quantities of phenacetin are smuggled into the country, the presumption is that the dealers were tiying to defraud the government instead of their customers. The "Medical Journal," in cpm- jmenting on the developments, justly says "that it is appalling���almost incredible��� that four-fifths of the pharmacists in question should be dishonest to the point of endangering life for such a paltry gain in dirty money." Undoubtedly tlie same ,vicious practices, on the 'part of druggists, prevail in this city. "Say, our backbone-) are like serial stories, aren't bhey?" "Prove it."

Young men who wanted to appear "knowing" and to get the reputation of being traveled without the trouble and expense of traveling, had their friends wtio went abroad send them the necessary pasters. Some even boldly ���wrote to hotels in Switzerland, France and London asking for the coveted bits of paper. Then when they disfigured their suit-cases with foreign labels they. were delighted if every time they crossed the ferry people read the evidences of travel witlh ewe end expressed envy and admiration in their eyes. Some even had their different pieces of baggage varnished so that the labels would not come off. Now, however, the doubting Thomases glance contemptuously at tho portable picture-galleries and say to their companions: "PoohI that don't prove anything. Likely as not he bought 'em.' So now, says the New York "Press," the real traveler, the ono to whom a trip abroad is not the event of a lifetime but an almost annual occurrence, tries to keep his luggage as free from foreign labels as possible in order that he may not be confounded with the spurious article.

Coe, writing to The American^. Cultivator, says :���"1 have sown oats, to kill quack or witch grass, and they did it pretty well. The oats killed kl 'almost entirely, but in a. few 'places* where there' were some rocks, there' was some left. The field was first "planted to corn and well cared for, so- that injured the quack some. The next year it was sown thickly to oats. ' "Oats take a large amount of water * from the soil, and are harvested in thfr driest part of the year. When the oats .were taken off the ground was dry. I ploughed this, and the ground, being: so dry, ploughed easily, and I ploughed deeper than before. There has be���� very little quack in that field since." Destroying weevil in peas or grate can be accomplished by putting the peas in a box or barrel having a tight-' fitting cover, placing bisulphide of carbon in a saucer on top of the peas and leaving the covers on for 24 hours. Then turn the peas out. air them and" return them into the barrel. 1MB, iiaaiMiJiiulwiBlllAIIM^^ - - '- " ,^.li *yr:--?^a��BKK;,. yy -sat' A" story which may or may not illustrate certain peculiarities of what has- now and then been cdllcd the feminine mind is told by The Kansas City, Journal on the authority of The Sedgwick Pantagraph, presumably one of- its not very remote neighbors. As the tale runs, two young women of Sedgwick hired a livery horse with which to- take a drive out into the country. Before the start was made the liveryman, in answer to his patrons' inquiries as to "the temper and disposition of the hor6e, assured them that he would be as gentle as a lamb if they kept the rein away from his tail, while there might be trouble if they didn't. The young women returned in safety, and when asked if the horse had misbehaved one of them replied : "Oh, no. There was one little shower, but we had an umbrella, and held it so that not a drop touched the horse's tail." "And that," concludes The Pantagraph, "explains the dazed look the liveryman has been wearing for the past few days." Ar^J [oopteiqhtkd] Set Her Free I ?

And the following morning her fears wero confirmed.

She made no answer, but went with tho two gentlemen into the library, wheie Mr. Cappei opened the budget. "I'm soiry-to tell you, Lady Dai wen, that there seems no doubt that the fust wife lias played a heaitlcss tuck upon Sn Astley." - -,. i "And' who helped her in the trick?

He was much suipiised to heai theio was a doubt about it, and said positivc- i ly that the woman whom he attended as Mis. Darwen had died, and had been buried." "Well!" "Then we went to Mrs. Midsomer'3 house, and saw first a Mrs. Finch, the sister of the first wife." "Yes, yes." "She was in a state of great distress, and refused to answer any questions, le- feiimg us to her inothei." At the mention of this woman Astley, asked Mis.

The parlor downstairs, which opened diiectly on to the road, was also to be devoted to her use: hut Norma was too much afraid of an incursion from her landlady fiom the kitchen behind, not to piefer the Safe seclusion of,her bedioom. So she sat by the window, looking out at the bare trees in front, and at the chimneys of Astley's 'home, which had been her home that morning. It /was past seven o'clock, and quite daik, When her heait gave a gieafc leap at the sight of a figuie m the road below', and, by tlie light of the one street lamp in 'the lane she distinguished Astley, whose gait was easily leeognizable on account of the slight limp which he had not yet got rid of. v He had just crossed tho stile which led from the town, and vvas making for the plantation. If she had had any doubt as to wh'o he was, it would have been dispelled when she saw linn take a key fiom ,his .pocket and open ihe private gate which led into the plantation. He had gonei thiough, and vvas on the point of closing the gate, when Noima saw anoihei'man iun hastily across the road, and entei ihe plantation in his turn, not by ihe gate, 'but by scaling the wall a little lower down. Nonna tlncw open the window. Astley was locking the gate behind him: the second man had disappeaied. She had thoughts of calling oui to Astley, of suiting him on his guaid; but she was tfiiublful whcthei hei voice would cany so far. The better plan seemed to be to go out, to iun up the lane as far as the gate, and to speak to him over the wall. So she tinned, put on hei hat as she ran downslaiis, and slipped out tof the cottage. By the time she i cached the gate, however, Astley had disappeaied, and there vvas not a sound to be heard suggestive of any human picsence- near. Who was the second man? Norma lingeicd near the gate, hied to look over cxpoiteis sold'as ~l-irt-keep cattle.

Its mines have become world re- . nowned and are capable of supplying all the miueial uecessaiy foi its home market. There weie 3345 Shipping Mines in 1902 and the wealth ciealed by lhcr mineial .iudustry totals up to $189,728,538. Placer mining, hydraulicing and dredging in the Atlin, Cariboo and Omiueca distiict will help ' to swell the already enormous return. In this distiict ihe outlook is very t 1 satisfactory, and all the work done up,to date only goes tq,prove that "so far-v it has been confined lo practically shallow diggings, whilst at present it is conclusive that the "pay" is in'lhe deepest ground, or benches. , The "Granary of the World" is a title well earned by Canada, but oiitside'its agricultural production the natural resouiccs of the liahei- ics, lumber and timber aie stupen- duous. The fishery products alone amount to nearly S3S,000,000, aud the best whaling region in the 1 world is in^the Hudson -Bay 'and Arctic Ocean. Then the lumber; British Columbia alone contains the" greatest timber reserve in the world. Canada today is second to none in her national resources and il is lo be hoped that she will be well represented at the'St. Louis Exposition and make a showing that will prove the, statement. The meeting, to be held tonight at the Grand Hotel, will touch ou matters of great importance directly affecting the welfare of the" miner, prospector, merchant,' professional man and in fact all classes; One of the' vital matters to be discussed is the existing Placer Act which has been.in force for nearly forty years with but little change; conditions^ are altered and the laws as applied to s'hallow diggings are not applicable to' deep placets, hence the leason to demand remedial legislation. ' The question of Crown grants will also be debated upon and it is earnestly desired that, especially those at present opposed to the Crown granting of placer ground, should be present in order that the meeting may have an opportunity of fairly and honestly airing its opinions. All are welcome whether they belong lo the Provincial -Mining Association or not. It is the duty of every one to attend, in order to make the meeting a representative one; every one will have a fair hearing aud much good may be done for Atlin's future prosperity. Do,not forget the hour and place, 8:30 p. 111. tonight al the Grand Hotel. Atliu, B. C. We had the opportunity this week of >vilnessing a concentialion of copper sulphide, produced in two minutes, absolutely clean 'and devoid of'gangue; the experiment was made by the original inventor^ of Ihe-oil process. Capl. Geo. Robson, M. JO., M. I. Mecii.'E. M. r.M.M. of Kalgoorlie, W."A. Retelling lo our headline, we use the term complex in preference to the usual term refractor}' because the latter term leads one to believe tliat ��� all values other than gold aie neglected. , In the 1 eduction or'subdivision of complex 01 es, (which' as the woid implies means'the subdivision' of the complex or .various constituents contaiusd in the-ores,) we aie desirous of concentrating these vaiious oie bodies and separating them iu order to make it possible to realise ou all their individual values; this is one ol the problems befoic us today. We arc aware that there are two processes, the combination of which may revolutionize the treatment of base ores whose methods demand thought, investigation and experiment in oider to make of the complex ores a paying proposition that would interest the capitalist and especially the London capitalist. The two methods which may attain the desired end,' and seem to be feasible from the latest scientific metallurgical research are the oil method of concentration, which gives'an absolutely clean concentrate; aud the electro " magnetic separator, which separates all the metallic constituents and thus enhances the value of what was called refractoiy 01 e. Tihe combination of these two methods will we believe'reduce concentration aud separation back to simplicity. The oil(is essentially and only a con- ceutiator, the electro magnetic is a separator from a "concentrate at a certain temperature. ��� It is .evident to mining men that the problem of .the future is the efficient and simple manner of treating what, we term complex ores; we have,-tried to define the difference between the term complex and the term refractory aud preferring the latter we lecommend it to the thought of those interested and engaged in mining. . It is possible.that our reader may consider this a little premature and in advance of what they have been accustomed to, but our reflections of-gold mining all over the world lead us back to our subject, that of Ihe reduction and subdivision of the constituents ot complex ores*in order that all the values contained in the ores may be treated and realized separately and thereby obtaining the full and absolute values therein contained. <, IMsmgzigii and' Grape 'Rings ��� And All Kinds of Jewellery Manufactured on the Premises.

' The argument in I lie Gamey case began yesterday morning. ��� Mr. Blake, in a speech lasting lour and thrce- .quartcr hours, wcnl carefully over Ihc evidence, endeavoring to link together circumstance afler cueuiiislance in .support of Mr. Gamcy's story, lie condemned in very strong language the course of Mr. Slrallon, and alluded , ,to Prank Sullivan as a bold and h.ird- >. -cned sinner. Mr. Johnston will ijegin the argument for ihc defence tins morning. . ' When ihc proceedings opened in the morning Mr.DuVernei.ioi .Mr. Gamey, made the statement Unit the latter was cmite willing oav into the coin I the $1,200 demanded by the court if the latter would gra.nl him ' protection, on he was willing to make out a marked check payable lo/Frank " Sullivan, from whom he had received , the money. ' He asked for a formal order, 'which, however, was refused by the Chancellor, who said the $1,200 1 would have to be paid in 'in the same manner as the $1,500. . Mr. Blake then begjn his speech. (He first considered tlie scope of the , act. _ Instead of the House vindicating itself il had thought proper to cic- , yolve thafduty upon the Commission. [There was no doubt as lo the breadth and scope of'the act, and it was a source of satisfaction that so wide a scope had been given. All the matters - gone into, he submitted, were covered ' by the act, but he raised the point as - ' to whether it was competent for ihc ' .Commission to make-, a report, or ' simply to' report upon the evidence without making any fin ding. iMr. Blake held that the Commission- had power only to take * evidence. [Under the statute the whole function t>f the Commission was to take and return the cvidcn.cc.Jth.cn the Legisli-" ture might take -such action as it deemed proper. - - - The Chancellor���"There is a strong temptation on us lo give effect to that view." Kowevcr.Mr. Blake continued, if the Conimlssioners thought it was their 'duty to go beyond the evidence then i- he would consider what'such finding1; inighl reasonably be. He would first , ".present thai portion of the case as to 'which there appeared no reasonable 'doubt. . He would then deal with Ihc matters that were open to question. Mr. Blake.then took up the oeni-' municalions relating lo the bargain. 'He read firsl the letter of Sept. io, writ-en by Mr. Stratton. and' signed by Mr. Gani.-y, and addressed to the Premier- calling attention to the second line of the second paragraph: "I have decided to give you my support." iThat is what the Government wanted. "I ask to be treated as if I had been." elected to support your Government." There is the price. An absolute bargain of purchase and sale. He was elected to oppose the Government, but if treated in such a way he would support it. Then, there is the letter of Oct. 27, sent to the Premier, to ���the same effect. Mr Blake next look iflp the letter of Jan. 28, The Globe interview, and asked why that interview was _ given. The bye-elections were coining on, and it was of advantage to get such a statement. (But why not publish the letters of - Sept. 10 and Oct. 27? Because the Ceople would see that Gamey was ought, and it was necessary to tone down ' what they desired to-effect. 'Nothing could be more misleading than this paper. With the Premier there is the lelter of Sept. 10, but now it is said "touching a rumor" about Gamcy's relations to the Government. What a solemn farce, when the bargain was already made and the guarantee in possession of the Premier. On those three documents there can be no doubt about this branch oi the case. It matters not who made the approach. This mat*-*r, Mr. Blake held, was known to other members of the Government, for Mr. Stratton had said that he had mentioned it to four members of the council before lhe_council meeting, and afterwards mentioned it to other members. "The bought and sold note was found in the pigeonhole, all safely kept." Referring lo a statement of Mr. Stratton that the Minister? had taken the reports of 'Mr. Gamcy's change of attitude in a jocular -.manner, -Mr. Blake said that, while it might be a matter of' amusement ./amongst., the Ministers that a man who was elected as ah opponent of the Government should, under the influence of a Minister of the Crown, become an opponent of his party and a . supporter of the Government, to him it seemed a very grievous sin. On January 27 Frank,Sullivan wires Gamey. "Most important that you be here," and on the following day Mr. Hammond is, informed by Mr. Stratton that Gamey Is in town, and will give an interview. He pointed out that, there niust have been some connection between these circumstances. Having read Carney's letter of February 7, saying that there was a row; on, that it was/hard to satisfy his people, that he might have to resign, Mr. Blake argued that*the X. Y;,Z. letter of February ir was Mr. ��� Stratton's reply. He did not care whether the X. y. Z. letter was given lo Mr. Ford or %&?. Stratton; it an-4 .the enclosure. could not have come into cxis'lence without that letter of February 7. The letter and cue-:-sure say : ''No .resignation. -I phi going to stand by the" interview Of Ji. ' ry 2Q." Another matter of great weight in showing the bargain is Ihc interview of January i;j. Mr. Stratton, according to Dr. Chamberlain, upbraided Mr. Gamey for the pari lie took in the recent bye-election in Perth. What right had he to upbraid unles* there vvas a bargain ? Mr. Gamey was obliged to apologise. Mr. Stratton thought Gamey .played, him false, and .would not allow him'to'do it again, and wanted a public utterance. Tlie elections of Centre Bruce and North York were coming on and he was determined that Gamey should not act like that again. The lei. us could not be produced, because "thai would make the bargain too plain. Hence Mr. Stratton , determined, in the words of Mr. Hammond, that he would try to gel an interview from him. .He (hen read the evidence of Mr. Hammond, who, he said, seemed to give his evidence fairly. It appeared that after Gamey signed Ihc interview Mr. Stratton wanted Mr. Hammond to st'iikc out a portion, and he refused. Would tin's have been (forgery to strike out a portion behind the signer's back ? Was this the first lesson in forgery from the Minister of the Crown ? ' Having read the part of Mr. Hammond's evidence- in which he said Mr. Stratton asked him if he could not forget some of the things connected wilh" that interview, Mr. Blake asked if this was the first Iesson,by that Minister in perjury and subornation of evidence ? In strong language he dcclaied that the man who asked another lo do such a thing would do it himself. Anyone who would say:"Changc a document and change your evidence to suit mc" would change his own evidence, would swear lie had not received money when he had.. A Minister of the Crown forsooth,! Better send the King a copy of this evidence, so that he "may see what kind of a Minister he has !" lie dare not deny il. Tliis, in his opinion, was,the most humiliating circumstance in the whole in\;cslii;alion���the attempt to debauch a young man. - ft was said that King Philip of Spain kept a'department of assassination. Tin's is something very like it���an attempt to kill truth aud uprightness. It is bad ciio-ugh to do such things oneself, but it is infinitely worse to get another to heh* you Regarding the payment of money in September he . [milled ,that there was gieat difficulty in settling wh ther* it. was on the oth, 10th or nth. But in ai y event the statement of Mr. Stratton as to a meeting on September 9 was absolutely upset by the evidence of R. J. Armstrong that he and Gamey were at tlie Exhibition grounds. * As to ,thc nth the alibi of Mr. Stratton is weak. Mr. Buckingham's statement showed that it was quite possible with ten minutes here and twenty there.to hand over the money. It seems almost impossible to solve the question whether it was paid on the 9th, 10th or nth, further than that there was ample time for Mr. Slrallon fo hand over the money or some one else to do it for him. The outcome is that the money was there and ..btaincd as described. The evidence of the cab drivers is strongly corrobo-alive. The defence spoke of bringing evidence in rebuttal, but as this was uol done it evidently could ,nol be done. ' t It was very strange that with all this money going and people who ne-- led it none of it got home. He callc.! the attention of the court to Frank Sullivan's extraordinary evidence that if anyone kepi his eyes and cars open he could pick up in the departments information which by means of some of the legislators he could turn into money. It is evidence of a man absolutely reckless of truth. His absolute shamclcssncss in giving testimony was an outrage on decency. A bold, hardened sinner. He would not give the evidence as he did if the mailer were only his own. Sullivan went into "the box to protect his master, Stratton, to shield, to make a case to shield his master. Then there is the absolute dishonesty of the man, for he only wanted Gamey to be a friend of the Government because of the use he could make of him; his endorsation as a member was worth money. His untruthfulness and wickedness are unblushing and without remorse. He seemed to smile when he (Blake) did not know how a government should be carried on or how a clerk could pick up knowledge in the departments which through a willing member of the Legislature could be made use of. In all his' statements, Mr. Blake went on, the witness was utterly and absolutely untruthful. He made statements out of whole cloth. Mr. Blake referred to the effrontery of the witness in making such a statement that if one kept his eyes and cars open at the Parliament buildings he could turn, his information into money. He also called the attention of the court to the mass of contradictions between the evidence of Frank Sullivan, and the men at the piano factory, lie asked the court to note the / ��-,:?cr'' >ancies, between the evidence of Mr. Stratton and Mr. Aylesworth, and Mr. Stratton and Mr. Hammond, also t.c statement by Mr. Cavers.' He called attention to the incontestable testimony of Mr. Aylesworth and Mr. Hammond, the circumstances of which showed that it was correct, and which negatiyr ed the statement made by Mr. Stratton. Mr. Blake referred to the letters of Frank Sullivan and others respecting concessions, and said there was not a word- of remonstrance against those, rank parasrlcs who were allowed to batten and grow fat upon the public without a word being said- in depreciation of what they were doing- " ''-'.���' "They consider that the position of a Minister of the Crown should be a.vejy honorable one, representing, as a Miri- ' "jter does, the Sovereign of this world- ��� ide empire.',It is'a high place, and a high position begets a large r.csponsi- 'rilily. The Minister of the Crown is to be measured by no ordinary standard. Ii your Lordships will observe the oath which he is bound tn take : he is to serve his Majesty the King faiUi- fully, honestly and truly'; ,he is to have regard to the honor'of the King, the good of his subjects, without partiality or affection, in no wise forbearing us to do from any manner or respect, favor, love, need,' displeasure, to any person or persons_whalevcr.'-He swears that he will be vigilant, diligent and .circumspect in all his dealings to the utmost of his power, will and discretion. After what we have heard it seems almost a solemn mockery lo add 'So lfclp.me God.' The honor of the King, fotsooth 1 Who dare send over to his Majesty a copy of the u/.dispul- ��d facts in this case.'and tell him that is the manner in which the, Ministers of your Province of Ontario care for your honor. We may,,wcll cry woe to the land if this is the suppose.d fountain of juslicc and honor becoming the poisoned stream, polluting (he land with its rank and vile growth, which degrades and saps the lilc of our people. BBYIEWINfi THE EVIDENCE. IvIK:-JOHNSTON'S PRESENTATION OF THE CA'SxD. ' ,' Scores Blake's Address as a Political Extremist's Speech���Without L Money the Correspondence, Interviews, etc!, are all Innocent. Toronto. May 23. ��� The argument for ��� the" defence in the Gamey case was presented yesterday by .*Mr. Johnston." He had not finished when d o'clock, ��� the usual hour of adjournment, was reached, and stated that the mass of evidence was so great that he thought he would require another hour. The Chancellor remarked that as Mr. Blake had been taking copious notes he evidently intended to reply. Mr. Blake' said,,he thought that the usual custom would be followed, but that he was in the handf of the commission. The court then adiourned, until 10 o'clock this morning. ' Mr. Blake stated that he expected he would speak for ar. hour and a 'half.cand, on the supposition that Mr. Johnston,would take an hour, would finish bcforc^lunchcpn. '��� "Assassins, corrupters of morals, liars, perjurers, suborners of perjury, forger and teacher of forgery,'1-s-uch such were the wordsToi an address .to vou? Lordships and justifying a reason for finding a high ofheer of the Slate guilty of a great crime." , In these words Mr. E. F. B. Johnston, K.C., commenced his address for the defence before the Gamey Commission yesterday. "On behalf of those whom I represent, the Hon. J. R. Stratton and the Government of the Frovince of Ontario, I would ask your Lordships' indulgence for a moment," and for only one moment, to say one word in regard to the personal character of this address. For five long hours my learned friend, who assumes in this investigation the role, of the people's protector, made a st.-ong partisan speech, not to the court, but a speech which manifestly was intended to form the text of a great political party.a speech more akin to a. political extremist than in accordance with the high duty which my learned friend has assumed, a speech beginning with imprccation,con- tinuing through a torrent of abuse and ending in pravcr. I utterly repudiate and resent such language being applied to men in high places unless the remarks are warranted by the evidence. "For. thirty years the Government of tl-'s Province has had, and we claim to-day, the confidence, of the people, rightly or wrongly. For thirty years it has been a matter of history that charges along the same line have, been made again and again. For thirty years these charges have not been proved, and it now remains to be seen whether they will be proved in this instance. My desire, continued Mr, Johnston, is to get at the truth. When this case was removed from the political arena, taken from the zeal and prejudices of partisanship and placed in the hands of your Lordships, it was done so as not to allow politics lo interfere, but with the idea of what the Judges would say. what a calm judicial tribune, would pronounce as a verdict. Il is with that object that wc have been sitting, it is the desire of faithful subjects of his Majesty in.lhc.Prpv-.ncc.it is the object-of the resolution passed in the House, the purpose for which your Lordships have been appointed, and that alone. If the truth'is against me and my clients, I should be content to accept the finding of your Lordships-without' the slightest uncharitable feeling or ungenerous remark towards my opponents. This is not a case that should have the slightest political bias, and if I can aid your Lordships in arriving at the truth I shall;.eel'that I have performed my duty to the best of my ability. I could say a great deal more, but'personal respect for. my learned friend, regard for his position at tho Bar, regard for his age and great ability prevent me from enlarging on this. I could not say less. . The issue, Mr. Johnston continued, is. grave and important, more. so than the political aspect of parties concerned. Grave because a crime charged against a Minister^ of Stats ana subversive 01 _au good government if such things can happen. Important because, if the charges arc ���-true, the choice of the people is inler- V-red with ; important because in this /fe of imperfection it is essential that the Ministers of'the Crown be absolutely clean. Even if Mr. Gamey or Mr. Stratton has to suffer, il ought to be the aim,of every good cilizen that the suffering comes to the proper quarter. Having described the ideal Minister and member, he said such could not be expected,-for'there never was'such in history, but it is expected that 111cm- - bers and Ministers should approach that ideal as nearly as possible. He continued that under our system the member supporting the Government receives' the patronage of his riding. That is illustrated very often in England, as well as in Canada. 'No matter, what 'the question, if there is a motion of want of confidence the politician votes according lo his political leanings. -In this connection he quoted Todd, Vol. J., second edition, pp. 616-17, as laying down the true relation of members and constituents under the party system. Mr. Johnston then pointed out that Gamey told Mc -irs. Martin and Bo wen in the Walker House on September 7 that he was going lo support Ihc Government! This was befop" the alleged ���payments. Mr. Blake pi t aside the testimony as of no impoi lance, as meaning nothing. It meant the whole, case, as far as the 'position of his (Blake's) client was concerned. Having reviewed the evidence of many witnesses to show Ilia 1 prior to September 10 Gamey intended to take an independent course, he filed a report ol the Gore Bay mccling in February in Gamcy's own <��� handwriting, in which occurred the sentence :���" T. Robinson, a delegate from the county, look the ground, that R. R.' Gamey had promised during his 'campaign to take an independent stand, and received many Liberal votes' on account ot that." This was not - contradicted, though Robinson was in court ready to be called if ncccssarj. lie then read the letter lo Mr. Ross that 'Gamey had come lo the conclusion not to support the Ross Governm nt, but .that he would best 'act in the interest of his constituents and new Ontario by supporting the Administration. There is the motive. It was shown that prior to his election,, and after by the evidence of Conmee and his bedfellows in the Walker, Martin and Bowcn, down to the meeting on February i6,at Gore Bay, he was always indifferent-. In fact, it was strange that prior to September 10 his position towards the Government was stronger than after he got-the, money,^'asv he alleged. The man from Manitoulin, Mr. Johnston said, held out the hand and took the bribe- . and, having got it, one would.have expected a strong support of the Government. But,- quite the re- ,verse, the, first .thing, he did .was lo ��� attend - a Conservative - caucus on September" 10, with the money in his pocket. The Chancellor���If he had the money it must have been before Sept. 10. Mr. Johnston���Exactly. If- he had the money, and T think we can show, if he had" it at all, he must have had it then. It docs not devolve on- us to show where the money came from, as long as Ave can prove it did not come from us. Mr. Jolinston went on to show that after Gamey had received a bribe to support the Government he weakened in his so-called allegiance. After get- ing on Sept. 10 or' 11 $3,000 he' goes to North Perth in January and makes speeches in favor of Mr. Whitney. That had nothing to do with his plot or scheme. When he gave The Globe interview, and, as he says got $1,000, he afterwards changes the interview in such a way that it nnght have been signed by any member of the Opposition. Every bribe he got seemed to drive him farther away from the Government, according to his own story. Before a dollar had been paid him, he had been stronger in his allegiance to the Liberal party than after he had stretched out* his hand and had it filled. - . *' "Place that," said Mr. Johnston, "before any Bench of Judges in the land and ask them to prono-ince J. R. Stralton a criminal. No wonder my learned friend had to resort to invocation as well as imprecation." Dealing with the protest, Mr. Johnston first pointed out that .fter early in June Mr. -Stratton had withdrawn altogether from any action in respect to protests, and there was no evidence lo show that Mr. Stratton had intervened in any protest. The matter was entirely in the hands erf' Mr. Grant and Mr. Bristol, and there was nothing to show that Mr. Stratton acted in respect to Manitoulin in any way. Mr. Johnston read from the evidence of Mr. R.A. Grant, showing how Grant and Bristol got together to saw off the petitions, ard Mr. Bristol himself suggested sawing off Manitoulin against South Wcntworth. Mr. Jolinston -pointed out that Mr. Blak. in quoting this part of the evidence made'it, appear that it was through the Government that the protest was dismissed. Is that a fair comment,on what took place, or is it similar to other methods which have been adopted to substantiate the proof? He did not blame Mr. Blake, but Mr. Blakd had stated that certain' things took place which ir. fact did not take place, done by someone perhaps for him in collecting the evidence and giving a wholly erroneous impression. He then took up the letter of October 27, copy of September 10, mailed by Gamey to the Premier from Gore Bay, and'pointed out that the only changes were with raspect to the point on which Gamey's whole case depends. One addition said that he'would support the Government "if you have a reasonable majority when the House meets." and. again, "if. you have a r���ca. s"onable majority." These two additions, were exactly whal he st-id before the election, during the summer, and the 'whole "time up to the meeting of the House,' namely, thai he would sup- , port any Government in power for the benefit of Manitoulin. No .stronger evidence of innocence could.be found from a'multitude of witnesses. Strong- ' er evidence could not be found of -lie care, honesty and truthfulness of the_ Administration of the Province and of , the depth of lying and deception lo which Gamey had :,-mk. ��� In all this correspondence, asked Mr. Johnston, where was there anything that" would i-.dicate the giving of a^bribe ? Here was this man, seek-'' ing for 'ni'eans to convict the Government of bribery, hatching a plot, writing and writing and writing, and yet all through this correspondence be could not place his finger on a single line,and say that, it suggested a bribe. The Globe interview ' was exactly ��� along the, lines of Gamcy's previous statements for six or seven months. After Gamey had made the charges that interview became a weak, puny thing that any member of the Opposition might sign. It was not worth one thousand cents.' let alone one thousand dollars. Why 'were the changes made ? Because, he said, he saw his friends on the, island as to how far he could go. Mr. Jolinston pointed out that one change was "any" Government. Again, wc have "Mani- . toiilin my politics." Docs that look like -paying or the delivery of the goods ? Another'change was from support to "independent" suppprt, from the Government's development policy 'to "any good" development policy. These wero all, changes precisely to the effect that , Gamey had always spoken, nanielyr that he .wanted, in the interests of the island, to support whatever Government was in power, and not the Ross , Government. Where, then, was 'the motive for ���buying'Gr..icy ? Gamcy's motive for supporting the Govcrnmeni was ' infinitely stronger than a monetary one, * ��� the bene ,. of the island, if he had am- ��� hition-for a political future. It was under a charge of conspiracy - that the Jones-Gamcy correspondence got ' 'in, but it has, no weight with, the criminal charge now under inquiry,1 because the".question of agency was not proved. j Jones scarcely knew Sullivan, * and' there is no common hand guiding Ihem.. - There could be none "except Mr. Stratton, but there .is not a particle of proof of it.- The-charge 'of conspiracy against the Government * utterly fails. His learned friend had asked why the Ministers did n t appear before the commission and purge" themselves. Purge themselves fromi wnat ? The insinuations ot his honorable friend ? The reckless statements of' Gamey in the House ? ' They might as well call, the Premier of this Province into the' box to answer the howling of some cur as he passed a gateway. They subpoenaed all the Ministers and could have called them if they chose. > ' r ;*.

Montreal, May 18.���(Special.)���The case of George Robertson, of 3.92 James street, this city, is looked upon by those interested in medical matters as one of the most interesting on record. Mr. Robertson was a. pullcrcc from Dropsy and was so bad that tapping was resorted to. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him. Interviewed regarding .his cure, Mr. Robertson said: "I was troubled with Dropsy and ' Rheumatism for live years. I was a total wreck before I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. Before I got out of bed in the morning I could hardly put my feet on the floor, they were swollen so much from Dropsy. , "My .arms used to swell at times so that I could not put my coat on.

Convocation at the English universities is always, thanks to the Irrepressible undergraduates, a lively proceeding.

During taie operations prior to the arrival of the allies at Pekln, an "Aaaeri- can" volunteer artillery battery came Into actfbn. An English naval officer Was standing by one of the guns when a Yankee officer hurried up. "Would you mind," the latter said, in most polite accents, "knockdng that hut into atoms?"

A Tuscan Bishop recently took a walk in the country and met a pea- Bant girl tending some pigs. His reverence stroked the child's unkempt liair, and was much astonished when she told him she only earned four soldi a day. "Do you know," said he, "I am also a shepherd ; but I earn much more than you." "Ah, yes," answered the little peasant, "but no doubt you tend many; jaiore pigs than I."���Modern Society. �� ��� On one occasion while Senator Gorman was spccchinaking in Maryland he met a lady who told him how disappointed she had been the week previous when the crowd was so great that she could not get near enough to hear what was said. "The truth is," continued the fair admirer, "I drove fourteen miles to boar you speak, but I was so completely wedged in' by negroes I could vot move a step." "Madam," answered the Senator, with a gallant bow, "I am sorry for your disappointment, but you must remember you are not the first jewel which has been set in jet" could not contain, his curiosity.

One of the most-kind-Oiearted men in the world-was the late Bishop Joseph P. Wilmer of Louisiana. He could not hurt the feelings of the humfblesit mortal. He was once traveling in England With his cousin, Bishop Richard Wilmer, when an incident occurred wfhidi Showed Bishop Joseph's readiness in a trying situation. The two bishops were being entertained by a gentleman Who thought his wife had all the musical talent and accomplishment thaE any human being can possess. He instated upon a specimen of her performance. The two apostolic eousina stood near the piano. Bishop Rldhard, recognizing that a compliment would be necessary and difficult to make, Quietly stepped back, as mosit men da on such occasions, leaving the position of honor to Bishop Joseph, wondering wfliat the end would be after "the assault upon .the ivory keys" mlgihit suddenly terminate in an awkward selah.. Bishop Joseph, with dignity and sweetness of thought, spoke to the hungry soul of the adoring hudbaml: - "Is that touch of your wife natural or acquired?" "Oh, it is perfectly natural." replied the delighted spouse. "I thought it was," said the bishop, "for I don't think such a touch could be acquired." An Appeal to Honor. Treat a man as if he were a gentleman, and he will rarely disappoint yon. In illustration of this truth ]Mr. Crosse, author of "Round About the Caipa- tliians," tells" a good story of a. robber diief in Hungary. A few years ago the Carpathian Mountains weie infested witih oigapized bands of robbeis, and neither hie nor properly was'safe. At this time a lady th great .wealth, the Countess Z., who lived not far from the main highway .between Budapest and Vienna, received a polite note one morning, informing her that twelve gentlemen would dine with her at midnight. She understood what it meant It was impossible to summon help, and well she knew ihat every appioach to the castle would he guarded, to prevent communication. In this dilemma she made ready for her uninvited guests. At midnight up rode an armed band, twelve men in all. Immediately the gate of the outer court and the entrance door were thrown wide, as if for tlie most honored and welcome guests. The countess stood at the entrance to receive them, richly dressed. She bade the chief and his men a gracious welcome, gave ordi'is that their horses he caied for, and then, taking the arm of her guest, led tlio way to the dining-hall. Here a goodly feast was spi ead, and all the gold and silver plate of the castle was lavishly displayed. Tho leader of the robber band started buck in surprise; but, recovering his self- possession, he seated himself beside his charming hostess, who engaged him in merry talk of the gay world at Vienna) with which they were both'familiar. At -length, when the feast was nearly ended, the chief took out his watch and said: "Countess, the happiest moments of my life have always been the shortest. I have another'engagement this night. Bod as I am, none ever appealed to my honor in vain. You have received me as a gentleman, and I shall take my departure ag one. 'As for you, my men," he said, looking sternly round with hand on his., pistol, "I charge you to take nothing from this house. He who disobeys me dies that instant." ��� The chief then asked for pen and paper, and .wrote some words upon a sheet, which he handed to his hostess.' "This, madam, will serve to protect you in future. You have but to aliow.it, and it will save* you from any molestation or, less." - The name of the robber chief was.af- terward known. He was an impoverished cadet of one of the noblest families in Hungary. His fate was sad enough; he was captured a-few months after the incident which has been related here, and ended his .life at the hands of the'common hangman. v < A Novel as a Real-Estate Boomer. A Mystery Explained.: Louisville papers -are authority r for tho. statement that "Jhs. Wiggs of tlie , Cabbage Patch" not only brought to Cabbage Patch residents the gladdest, lic-icst Christinas their pinched -lives 'had ever known, but dias stalled a tide of immigration toward this sulnub of Louisville. Before Miss Alice Caldwell Ilegan, now Mrs. Cale Young Rice, intioduced Mrs. Wiggs to her thousands of friends, the Cabbage' Patch was held as undesirable a living spot as Kentucky could show. Now, all Louisville takes its guests to see' the Oalbbage Patch and to discover, if possible, Mrs. Wiggs, Miss JHazy, Lovey Mary, and all the rest; while every traveler through Kentucky stops off at Louisville on the same errand, and kodak enthusiasts haunt the region at all hours. Nor is this all. The Cabbage Pateh has become���^fnsliionable is hardly the woid���popular among the lower circles of Louisville's people; and one landowner lias let contracts for twenty-two new cottages to meet the demands of would-be Cabbage Patchitcs. , These new cottages will be ready to accommodate the spring rush, which the appearance of "Lovey Mary" in book-form is expected to nieienae. Tins new picture of life among the lowly promises to have as great a success as its predecessor, for those who 'smiled at tlie quaint sayings of the widowed Mrs. Wiggs and the amusing antics of her children will be gla"d to get another glimpse of them. The new1 stoiy, by the way, is not a sequel, -although several other familiar characters again appear in its pages. Here is a characteristic hit of advice taken at random, which showe that the sympathetic Cabhage Patch philosopher has lost none of her original charm:- . t "li you want to be cheerful, Jus set yer mind on it an' do it. Can't none of us help what "traits we start out in life with, but welkin help what we end up with. .When things first got to goin' wrong with me, I says: 'O Lord, what- ;,Jever, comes, keep me from gittin' sour I' It wasn't fer my own sake,I ast it���some people'peara to enjoy bcin' low-sperrited ���it was fer the childem an' Mr.. Wiggs. - Since then I've made it a practice to put all my worries down in the bottom of my heart, then set on the lid an* smile. . . . The way, to git cheerful is to smile when you feel bad, to" think about somebody else'8 headache when yer owe is 'most 'bustin', to keep on believin' the sun is a-slhinin' when tihe clouds-is thick enough to, cut. No thin' helps you to it like bhinkin' more about other folks than about yerself." - ', Tommy���Papa, what makes you bald?

London, Ont Dodd's Kidney Pills Cured Mrs. Huffman of Napanee And Now She Recommends Them t-> Other Young Ladies or Mar rled Woman. Napanee, Ont., April 27.���(Special). ���That Dodd's Kidney Pills are one of the greatest boons ever conferred on suffering womankind is the experience of Mrs: John C. Huffman of this place. For the benefit of her sister women she has given the following statement for publication: "1 had been troubled for about sis yeais with Kidney Disease and the pain was so great I could not stand it. I could not entertain any company. "One night when I was feeling miserable, I read some wonderful cures by Dodd's Kidney Pills and I decided to try them. The first box brought an improvement and by the time I had taken six boxes I was completely cured. "I can recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to any person suffering from Kidney Disease and I make this statement hoping it will help other young ladies ol married women." i Saving Labor at The Hub: "They're .busy���I'll, call. you." That ta the exasperating sentence usually heard on the telephone when one Is In" a" great (hurry to x"get" the person-at the other end of the line. The man who uses the' telephone often knows that the phrase "I'll call ,you" means nothing���that it'ls never used seriously, ���and after waiting a few minutes he calls' again. ' Sometimes the "message comes back, "Still busy," - or "Busy yet," or "Busy���I'll call you," and occasionally the operator delights the man In the booth byceaying, "There they are!" They have a different method In Boston, as a visitor'to that city discovered a few days' ago. He called up a business house and was told, "The line Is busy; ring off I" It was a sharp, rasping voice, and the stranger connected It at once with a small cigarette smoking boy. "I don't believe thay'ra buay at all," he said to the peoole near him. "I'll,try again." "Give me No. 4000, please." "The line Is busy; ring off." "How do you " "Th�� line is busy; ring off." "Well, try them again, and���'* -Tihe line is busy; ring off." - There was never a change 1�� VtM tone,\ never a word more or less, and the stranger saw In his mind's eye bow the Impertinent youngster sat repeating over and over again the reason- destroying sentence. After a Ave minutes' waiting: He made another attempt/to reach bis friend A woman's voice answered and asked the regulation question, and In a few seconds the* rasping voice was heard again, "The line Is tousy; ring off." "Say! are you sure there Is " "The line Is busy; ring off." Then he hung up the receiver, and when he gained the ear of the central office again he asked: "Can that boy say anything* besides 'The line is busy; ring off'?" ,, "Yes, If It's fixed right.* That's the graphophone by which we save work. What number?" ��� Incident of the Plague in the Philippines. A correspondent of the "Medical Record" says that in December , last a padro in a northern province of;i Luzon told 'his congregation that he h'ad' had a vision in which he had seen San- Roque, the pation saint against cholera, descending into a well,- and that San Roque had informed; linn that whoever drank or bathed in the waters of this- well would have no cholera, that he (San Roque) thought that his people had been, chastened enough, and-had come back to* protect them. This announcement was- made immediately after _the pliest had heard that cholera no longer existed in the province. ^Immediately following the announcement of the priest, the people < of the vicinity flocked to the well by hundieds, the news rapidly spread, and-' within a week a crowd of thousands had, ��� collected, many coining from distant pro���' vinces.and camping in the fields. It was', a sight never to he forgotten to see hun-' dreds of men, women and children,. - stripped stark naked, standing about the well and having its i waters poured over them, while others were drinking the water and carrying it away in bottles.' Tlie conditions were present for. a most virulent outhieak, for many of tflic faith-, ful came from districts; in which cholera still existed, and the well was certain to- become ultimately infected, and prove a focus from which the dise.ise would be transmitted in all directions. ' Argument was useless with ohe pilgrims, and it be- / came -necessary for the authorities to - close the well by foicp and place it un-. der an armed guard���for the people firmly believed that San^Eoque would stattnp out cholera if ' they only did as the- priest told tlhem. >, r ^. _ 1 I 'I E2/"11 If ����� .*��� 'M * i Manners for Musical At Homes- 41 m Don't, when asking anyone, toeing 'or 'i play, casually 'close the piano while so' >" ' doing.

A Sad Story. The ohell-flsh that grow In the waters of the Pacific on the California coast are a poor lot, and repeated attempts have been made to Improve their quality. Oysters from the East have been planted In San Francisco Bay, but they don't thrive. Lobsters also have been carried there. The first lot of young lobsters that went out quarreled so violently In their tanks that they arrived in a deplorable state of dismemberment. Many were dead, and the bottoms of the tanks were strewed deep with claws. "We can better that," said the fish commissioners; so when they shipped another lot (at a cost of ten thousand dollats) they put wooden wedges in trie bip claws of all tha young lobsters, so that they could not fight They arrived in good order, were put into the bay, and not one of them was ever seen alive again. After .. TT _. . ,��� ���_��� -t _,���. a while it was remembered that the Mis. nuflman_^only^oiw of many | wedffeg had nQt ^ taken ^ o�� the lobsters' claws before they were turned loose. Consequently they could not shut their claws; consequently they could not get their living; conssquently they starved. Does anyone know a sadder story than that? Zangwill's Physiognomy. ZangwiO, in common with the late- Canadian Premier, Sir John A. Mae* donald, is curiously like Lord Beacons-, field in feature, though without his blandness and polish. Lean, dark, sallow, with pronounced Jewish characteristics, his face in its rugged power* is far more distinguished than any mere beauty of outline could make it And. he is not in the least sensitive with regard to the peculiarities of* his appearance. Some time ago, when' lie was staying in New York, says tho "Critio," he received a mysterious letter from an individual saying that it. was ltw one wish in life to meet the great author. At first Zangwill took no notice of the letter; but the man wrote .so often and so persistently that Zangwill ut last I dun led, and appointed a tniii* und place for meeting. At the veiy chiming ol the appointed hour, to lihn entered, as they say in the old 'iliiy*., nn enthu- sift-.lic Gennnn Jew, who talked and talked and talked "until he'd nioit look loot." Zangwill's time waa valuable; ho had many other appointments, find, at lost, gently insinuated us much. Still, hhi enthusiastic vibitor did not depart. Even Zangwill's patience git\n win. "I'm mr.ud," he said, "I'm very busy. AVhnt can I do for you?" "Mi-hl You h.if done for me.
