'1 Dixie Cieek, located about,thiny miles fiom Atlin", has been thor- oughly prospected by .parties interested in th"e British-America Dredging Co.. The^fesults secured led Mr W. J. Robinson, one of the promoters of the company, to state this morning that he expects there will sooii be a camp at Dixie larger than that-now on'Pine Creek.5, Speaking of the prospects, on Dixie Creek,'Mr. Robinson stated that the gold found there is heavy and coarse, and assays from $18.40 to $19 an ounce.- The B. A. D.' Co. intends later on to put a large dredge "on Dixie Cieek, to be oper- ated from power to he developed in TJixie Valley, where there is plenty of water fon-the purpose. . The. Dredge which . the British Columbia Companyris,.installiug on Spruce Creek 'is\contraded for on the understanding'that it will "be ready for operation by October 1st. -At^a recent'meeting of the beard of directors ot^iie British Columbia Company ut vvvas decided thatall supplies and matenaltor the dredge shalfbe purchased in* British Columbia, prices and quality being equal to those of other, supply cen- tcres on the coast. The directors of'"the British- America Company expect to place in opeiation on its properties next year two more dredges similar to the one now running on Pine Cieek. The estimated cost of these two dredges is $50o;ooo. It is also^ n.tended to increase the .capacity of the power plant on the same cieek. The Switzer-Robinson Corporation and J. H. Brownlee have started up the hydraulic plant they last summer placed on Otter Creek at a cost of $60,000, and excellent returns are reported.���The Vancouver Daily Province. A question ot vital importance to every one in this district will be brought up at the~next monthly mseting of the Board of Trade, viz : "What steps should be taken to get a supply oi pure water for cthe town.''

Pieplant Catsup.���To two quarts of chopped pieplant add two pounds of brown sugar, a tcacupful of vinegar (not too strong), a teaspoonful each of cinnamon, allspice and salt and pepper. Cook till reduced to onc- hnll, then boil and seal. Orango Salad.���Fruit salads arc very much the fad at present und one of the simplest is an orango salad. Peel three oranges and take off all the white skin. Separate in sections and cut off the transparent skin, separating them, after pulling it loose. I/ay on leaves from the head of lettuce and pour over all a French dressing or a mayonnaise. Raised Cake.���Cream a large cup of sugar with one half cup of butter and add a beaten egg. Mix with one pint of light bread dough and^ a level teaspoonful of baking powder. Beat with the hand until soft and white. Flour a cup of stoned raisins and shredded citron, and stir in. Bake,in a deep cake tin for one hour in a slow oven. Best when a couple of days old. Snow Pyramids.���Boat tho whites of .half a dozen eggs to a stiff froth; add a tcacupful^ of currant jelly, and , whip . all together; fill saucers half .full of cream, dropping in tho center of each a tablespoonful of the "egg and jelly in the shape ^of*a,pyramid. Apple Snow.'���Take apples of clear white "pulp, pare, core, and quarter, put with the necessary quantity" of water 'over a hot Are, and cook as <'rapidly as possible. Pass through a sieve, and set in the coldest place you can find, While they are cooling, whip the whites of two or three , eggs to a stiff froth, and add some powdered sugar. .When the , apple has become quite cold, whip tho egg into'it, and keep it in a cold ^placo until time for serving. Whipped cream may bo ser\od with it if desired. Wino'or Lemon Jelly.���Take half a packago of gelatine, a gill and a half of cold water; soak for two hours; add one teacupful and a third of sugar; and one pint of boiling water; stir all together; add the 'juice of 'two lemons, 'or one glassful of wine; strain through a' cloth and put ��� in mold. <," Iceland Moss Jelly���Into one quart of - water put about three-fourths of an ounco of moss, and simmer it down to half a pint; add fine sugar and a little lemon juice. One- fourth of an ounce of isinglass will improve it. The moss' should first bo steeped in cold water for an hour or two. Calf's Foot Jelly.���Put a couple of calf's feet in three quarts of water and let boil for five hours, or until about half wasted, keeping simmering during the time. Run the liquor through a hair sieve and let it stand until firm, remove tho oil and fat from tho surface. Take 'a ' tea- cupful of water, two wineglassfuls of .sherry wine, the juice of half a dov.en lemons and the rind of half a pound of white sugar, mix the whole until tho sugar melts, then add the jelly; place on the fire in a porcelain kettle, and keep stirring until it comes to the boiling point. Pass it twice through a jelly bag, and put in molds. Iho same time, while bringing out the coloration borax in no way injures flavors, ' but rather increases them. It is the secret of the admirable green color and perfect flavor of peas as served up by French cooks. Apart from its uses in the kitchen, borax is an efficient, cheap, and easily obtainable antiseptic. In small and tasteless , proportion it will keep milk and butter from turning sour, and rancid. Mixed with sugar and rubbed into a ham when the latter is being cured it imparts a fino^ flavor and renders it safe against the ravages of the "bacon fly." Muslin calico, and flimsy cotton goods dipped into a strong solution of borax become practically fireproof. Put into starch it prevents tne iron from singing and forms tho "china" glazo so much sought after by laundresses. Ladies who, value a fine complexion may bo interested to hear that borax is as powerul a skin tonic as arsenic without 'the lat- ter's poisonous qualities. A table- spoonful of ordinary powdered borax to " a washing-basin full of water used every day will, in most cases produce a clear and fine colored skin in tho course of a few weeks. ' A much advertised skin tonic somo week ago, which received many testimonials from persons in high places, was nothing but a medium solution of borax in distilled water with a little attar of rose glycerine, and rectified spirits of wine. MANY USES OF BORAX. Borax, ' or, to give it its chemical name, biborato of soda, may bo used in tho household as a substitute for ordinary soda under nearly every HINTS TO HOUSJEKEEPEUS. It is said that if one-third of 'stewed pieplant bo added to any canned sweet fruit, like raspberries, pears and huckleberries, the flavor will bo much enhanced,., ' , If pieplant . is cut with a sharp knife there will be no "strings" on tho pieces. '" , , �� ' Toast buttered while very hot digests more slowly than that buttered while just warm enough to melt tho butter, .while , that buttered and .then set in the oven is very unhygienic. For sick people, toast should always bo served dry, with butter on a separate plate. l It is asserted that the very painful burns caused by carbolic acid can be quickly relieved and blisters pro- vented by the prompt use of iodine. If a stamp has lost " its sticking qualities and there happens to be no mucilage at hand, moisten the gummed edge of an envelope, rub the stamp over it and put it ,in place.' It will take up enough of the gum to make it stay put." 1 If by mistake you got a soup too salt add'a few slices of raw, potato and cook a few minutes longer. The potatoes will ) take up the surplus salt. ��� ��� Fruit Glace���Put the' fruit on hooks of fine wire, dip into sugar at the sixth degree, and hang where nothing will touch until dry. A Pretty Dish.���Scoop out the pulp from somo oranges, fill the hollowed skins with wine jelly. Pile whipped cream on top. The oranges may be used for cake, pudding, etc. How to Whip Cream���Too rich cream, which" will hardly pour, will ice cold, and whilo whipping stand tho bowl in a pan of ice water. Skim off the froth as it rises, and continue till all tho cream is whipped. To Blanch Almonds.���Shell the nut and pour boiling water over thorn. one. Let them! stand a minuto, then throw and into cold water. Rub between tho hands. - To Remove Jellies from Molds.��� Have in a pan enough warm water to come to top of * the mold, if a tin mold, set in this ior about half a minute; if carthorn, long, enough for tho heat to pass through.

This Trouble is Caused by an Acid in the Blood, and Can Only- be Cured Through the Blood. Rheumatism is caused by an acid in the ��� blood. That is a medical truth every sufferer from this trouble should bear in mind. Liniments and outward applications cannot cure what is rooted in tho blood���tho disease must be1 cured through the blood. That is the reason rheumatism yields almost like magic to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. ��� This new blood conquers tho painful, poison, sweeps out the aching acid', soothes tho nerves, loosens the muscles and banishes rheumatism. Mr. Robert Morrison,'ono of the best known and most esteemed residents of Guelph, Ont., gives striking testimony to tho truth of the statements made above, lie snys :���"My trouble came gradually and was pronounced muscular rheumatism, and was located chiefly in my neck and shoulders. ,1 can hardly'tell you how much I suffered. I was 'confined to my bed for fifteen months. A1 great many'friends camo to see mo during that time and I think I am safe, in saying that most of them had'very few hopes that I would got better. I tried a great many remedies without any lasting benefit. Then-1 tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I am thankful to say that through tho use of these ' pills and the indefatigable nursing of my wife I am again on my feet. My nock ia still somewhat_ stiff, but tho pain is gone> I am now in my, 79th' year and I feel that 1 owe much to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

Boil fifteen minutes, dip tho fingers into cold water, take up a little of the syrup between them; draw apart, and if a thread is formed the sugar is at the second degree, tho best for sherbets, preserves, etc.^ A little later, if on taking a spoon and blow ing bubbles fly off, it is the fourth, which is best for creams, etc., and gives a rich flavor to preserves. If taken on a stick it is brittle, it is tho sixth, suitable for fruit glace. ' > ABOUT SALADS. The food value of the more delicate raw vegetables as eaten in salad, aside'from the oil with which they are dressed, is" almost entirely in the contained salts and acids dissolved in thoir ninety to ninety-five por cent of water. . Salads must be held to the pleasure-giving foods, -the food accessories rather than true foods. It is .well known'how scurvy is induced' on board ship by tho absence of ' all kinds: of fruits-or vegetables.' .The" mixing and the flavoring of the salad is a curious tiling. . The cooked mayonnaise 'is preferred by some; the more simple French dressing hv others, and between are all shades of practice, and'theory as to the dressing of this succulent dish. Salt, pepper, and acid, and some form of oil, are all that arc really essential; the rest, refined taste points towards' simplicity. Granted that one has green salad tender, crisp, well grown, tho washings is an important part of tho preparation. This should be done in several waters, tho last to be ice cold' if possible, then the leaves should be placed in a basket or towel and swung to ensure their being well drained, and if necessary each leaf wiped as wet leaves cannot be coated with oil. i Tho salad habit once established does much to promote good health and cut down tho undue use of meat. Tho dish is capable of endless variation, with fruit and vegetable and a change in tho dressing, and is one that may be served nt any meal. WHY MILK KEEPS OR SPOILS. , In an experiment on the relation of temperature ' to the keeping property of milk at the Connecticut' Storrs Station, .the bacteria in milk multiplied fivefold' in twenty-four hours when, the temperature was 50 degrees'F., and ,750 fold in the same time when the temperature was 70 degrees. \ 'Milk kept at 95 curdled in eighteen hours, at 70 in forty-eight' hours, and at 50 in 148 hours. So far as tho keeping property of milk is concerned, low temperature is considered of >.uorc importance'than cleanliness. In milk kept at 95, the. species developing most rapidly is the undesir- ablo one known as Hacillus lactis aorogones., At a temperature of'70, this specie develops relatively less rapidly in the majority of cases than Bacillus lactis acidi, which latter is very desirable in bolh cream and cheese ripening- i - : Tho bacteria in milk kept at'50, increase slowly, and "'later consist of very few lactic .organisms, but of miscellaneous ������ types including many forms that render the milk unwholesome , ' " ' ' f. These' bacteria continue to grow slowly 'day after day, but tho- milk kcops sweot because the lnctic ' organisms do not'dovolop abundantly. Such milk in tho course of' time becomes far morc'"unwholcsome than sour milk, sinco" it is filled with organisms' that" tend to produco jmtrc- f action. ' Although' the temperature of 50 degrees is to bo emphatically recommended to the dairyman for tho purpose of keeping his milk sweot and in proper condition for market, ho must especially guard against "the feeling that milk which is several days old ,is proper for market, even though it is still sweet and has .riot curdled. / - "' Quite the reverse .is the case.' Old milk is never wholesome, Wen though it has been kept at a temperature of 50 degrees and still remains sweet and uncurdled. "��� ' / ' " , This very,, considerably ''modifies somo of our previous ideas concerning milk, for it has been. generally believed-that, so long as the milk remains "sweet, it is in ,good condition for use. 'Quito the contrary in1 this case, if, it has been kept at a temperature of 50 ' degrees, or in, this vicinity. " It is not unlikely that it is this fact that leads to some of the cases of ice cream poisoning so common in summer. * ," ,���,<���, ��� The cream is kept at a low, temperature for several days, until a considerable quantity has accumulated or a ' demand has come for ice cream, and when made into ice cream, it is filled with bacteria in great numbers, and of a suspicious character.

There is no treatment so successful as Dr. Chase's Ointment, and as eczema always tends to become chronic and last for years, prompt cure is of the utmost importance. Mr. C.

Tho man who made a big hole in the barn door for the old cat to come through and 'a smaller hole for the kitten must have had a kinsman in tho Englishman who wont fishing with Capt. Andrew Haggard in the Lake St. John country, and whose adventuro is related in "Sporting Yarns." The two men, with Indian guides, were about to shoot a terrific rapid in two canoes. Captain Haggard, who could swim, had littlo fear. Chambers, Iiis companion, who could not, expected certain doath. "What shall I do if wo upset?" ho called. "Tie the camera under your chin," called back his companion. "It's hollow and will make a good life-preserver." ^ He was vastly amused to see Chambers adopt the suggestion, and hang the camera under his chin. A moment later, however, as they came into the most dangerous place, Chambers snatched it from his nock again, and placed. it carefully right side up in the bottom-of the canoe. "WKat was the matter with the llfe-preeerver?" asked: Captain Haggard, ��� when they Had safely descended. "Why, I Just happened .to think," said Chambers, in all innocence, "that if we upset I should get the' pictures wet. So I put it'back in the boat." ___/&_ . I believe that greater returns for the amount invested can be obtained from grazing any other kind at live stock writes Mr. T. W. Jones. There must be sown the right kind of grasses to get the best results. First and foremost as a hog pasture is clover. I keep a plot coming on all of the time for tho hogs. Do not wait until one set of clover has perished before sowing another. These fields need not be very largo if they arc judiciously managed. The hogs should have access only to a small part at a time. Two years ago I purchased SO hogs averaging about 90 pounds each, in Iho early spring. I gave them- access to clover pasture with a slight mixture of other grasses. September 1 these hogs were weighed, before be-t ing put'in the feed pen. They had' gained about 75 pounds ,oich on grass alone that summer. Stock hogs being worth 7 cents per pound that year, it ' will readily be seen that they made a gain of 55.25 per head with no feed other than grass. On the same farm and during tho same, period was grazed 20 head of short two-year-old cattle. They mado a gain of 300 pounds por head that season, which sold at 4 cents per lb. or a gain of $12 per head. Ono hog, costing about SG, gained about one-half as much as a steer that cost $28. In other words, ono hog gained $2 to where tho steer gained $1. Some may contend that those wcro exceptional values for stock hogs. It was also an exceptionally good year in the cattle trade. Count tho gains made by tho hogs even at 4. cents, and one will readily see that the balance is in favor of the hog. Taken one year with another, I believo that decidedly greater gains will be mado by grazing hogs than other live stock. No doubt a littlo grain mixed with clover would give bettor results than those obtained from clover alone. Cowpeas and soy beans arc of great value for fattening hogs. Those plants afford' feed for swine when they need a change from clover. Alfalfa ��� may bo fed green or it may be cured and fed to thorn in the midwinter. Rape also has many friends among swine raisors, who make great . claims as/to results obtained from feeding it. I do not think there is any crop that will excel ryo for winter pasture. It should bo jsown early and given a good start , before winter sets in. Thoro are ' CULTURE OF THE MANGEL. ��� Of all the foot crops, the mangel- wurzel or stock beet is, perhaps,, tin most important, both 'us to feeding .value and amount of yield per acre.' Turnips make a valuable catch crop, but the mangel must bo sown early1 in this scus'on and cultivated to secure a satisfactory yield.

Yes", yesr~6f course it was, this was not the awful pallor ho had seen on the face of his consumptive wife just before she died. Fancy, that was all. How stupid of him; his eyes must be wrong.' He was worn 'with watching, weak for want 1 of food. The boy was right enough- been" studying 'too hard at school, that was all. Why, a little extra nourishment and he'd be as strong ns a young lion. What was it the doctor said? Strong beef tea, chicken, a little good old port. Well, he'd buy them. Whal wore parochial ^promises worth?

God's ways were mysterious; in Hip own good time help would come. Nothing else left, the vascd must go for the child's sake. He had kept them because she prized them so; her old misti ess hadfl given them to her when she left to be married. He wrapped them lovingly in -an apron she used to wear, and put ^them under his arm. Then, with a parting look at the child, he stole out, locking the door after him. She was looking down'at him; she would understand and would forgive. ��� �� ��� ��� * ��� # "Make it 'alf a crown," whined the old woman in the next box; "don't be.

IS IT A- MM. OF DISUSE? LONDON ENQUIRES, "IS f A DISEASE?" LOVE Advocates of Theory Drag Ail the' "Authorities "Into a Wordy ��� , - k Warfare f '' , ��� ' ���, '��� "Is" love a disease?" Tho groat Galen, one of the "fa-, thers oi medicine,'-' boldly proclaimed it to be such ,over eighteen centuries ago, and modern London^s inclined to take the same view of the ^natter.- For modern London, owing to the fertile brain of an advertising agent for a halfpenny newspaper, is engaged in a heated discussion of the question. Letters from the scene of this wordy warfare state that all known authorities on tho subject of the "divine paf-sion" have been dragged into print. ~, t r , - Accoiding to one well known doctor, Galen, in his .voluminous medical vtinm^s. cites the first case, on', record where love was treated by a physician ,as a recognized form of illness." This'treatment was givem 'by Galon himself in the second century to a -haughty Roman lady,' wife' of the parttoian Menippus. All the leainea medical men of the then fashionable world failed to alleviate her ailment and gave up her 'case as incurable. Mme. Menippus-then, as a last lesort, summoned Galen, who had "recently arrived with a glowing reputation from the schools, of, Asia Minor, and he promptly diagnosed the complaint'as an attack of "lovo sickness." Pylades, a handsome young knight, 'whom the���_ woman, had scen^ once or twice, but "did not1 know, was decJaicd to'be the cause of-the disease. The beating of tho patient's pulso is given by Galen as the �� only moans he had of judging tho nature of het affliction. He fails to state, however, what remedies he recommended other than to'say that by his "piefcssional discretion he was able to restore her to a better state of mind." Ho follows this recital with a statement that Cleopatra had used one of his cosmetics and found it excellent, thus furnishirg the first "voluntary patent medicine testimonial" known to history. SANCTIONS THEORY. "Tho theory that love is a disease has thi�� sanction of venerable antiquity," says the grave London Lancet, which was finally, drawn into tho disi'ussion. - "Apart'from the Greek and Rom,an classics, it is^ commonplace of tho seventeenth century. Tho leainciJ German Gregorius Horstius published a long thesis in favor of the contention in ,1011, and 1614 Lnnifandus supported him in a neatly ertitlef Latin essay on 'The nature of love and the cures for love madness ' Ten vears later Ferrand in* Paris printed a book on 'The Malady of love, or, Erotic Melancholy.' "The Dutch and Flemish painters of the la?t half of tho same century found in 'love sickness' a favorite sub- fect Some of the paintings of wo- men sufieiing from this disease are scientifically accurate portrayals of the anaemic condition. Of course none o! these writers nnd painters luul as yet suspected that there is a Uirillus of love, though Cupid's arrow, which is as old as mythology, 13 ccrti-.ii/ly antitype." At ('"'-en in Germany in the sixteenth century, ns one English disputant l'O'iilid out, Horstius and tho savant�� of Europe engaged in a long dif-Mitr- upon the nature of love before a .'urge audience of the nobility and gentry. Both sides to the discussion admitted that the affliction was certainly o disease, the only question at iss,ii'j Lcing the form ,it assumed. Hor- s-tius maintained that it was purely a mental disorder, while ono of his opponents showed that magic was not yet a dead art by stoutly asserting that it was the result of "poisoning by lovo philtres and charms." Still another learned doctor was sure that love was an illness that greatly resembled indigestion and could be diagnosed by the irregular and heightened boat of the pulse. HINDUS AGREE Before thj Russian-Japanese war broke out to turn public utti'iition to f-omc other hirbjcct, a British officer in India added fresh fuel to the present discussion by writing home a list of .symptoms of "Jove sickness" agieed upon by the ancient Hindu writers. , These signs were said to be: "A peculiar sidelong "stare, ji languid gait, difficult breathing, stoppages of the heart's action, withering of limbs, cold shivers up and down the J-.acJ-, fever,' and swoons" All tho Indian poets-consider the appearance of drops of-perspiration upon the cheeks and other iparts of the body as one of the most- dangerous, indicn- tions of th'e presence of tho malady. ��� "Jn enc of the old dramas," writes the officer, "a royal lover is alraid to takr a birch-bark message in his hand, lest the perspiration from his pulrns wash away the message there. All the cures tried by love sick patients proved ineffective. In tke- drama 'The Bha-vabhuti,' the hero, Mad- hava, tries snow, moonlight, camphor, lotos roots, pearls and sandal oil ns remedies, but "without effect, The 'Hindus were so sure that lov< w,-is a practically incurable sicknesi that they permitted a sufferer to da- almost anything to prevent himsell from dv.ng of it." ONE* OF CIVILIZATION. Few English physicians were found who believed that love',was a sickness, although one Londoner said, "V. it be a disease it is as modern at appendicitis, in spite of what th< ancients have to say upon the subject." In support of this claim ha brings forward the customs "of the less developed races of the world to prove that love in its higher sense is . really unknown to them. He points ��� out that among the savage tribes of Australia one girl is as good 'as another in the sight oi a wooer, because they "all look alike" and have the same degree ,of 'intelligence.. Tho Dyaka imprison their young girls for seven years in a cage, so that- they may be bleached to ,a light yellow by the sun and come out with small foot and hands. Tho bushmen and their wretched women ira .so brutalized b/ the hardships-of their'life that both sexes como, 1o resemble each other, ' and love for an individual ls'not known. "Therefore," concludes the writer, "if love is a sickness, it is a development of civilisation', because, in spite of fairy stories to'tho contrary, tho savages cannot and do 'not fall in love' as more refined peoples do. - Love sickness is'certainly a mental complaint in any event/ and ta low intelligence cannot sutler much from it." ' " _; ��.��� , * AFRICAN, BOUNDARIES. ���in i , They Are Being Changed by the Mixed Commission. Every new edition of African maps shows sluftings ofithe boundary lines , between European"- possessions. Sometimes the boundary is shown on ono side of a river or mountain range, and in the noxt edition on tho other .* Side. If the boundary is a parallel or^-a -meridian it may bo-shown on the later map so far from its" oarlier*" position that tlie change is noticeable even on a map of small scale. These changes do not moan that the Doundaries, as described in treaties, have been altered, but merely that delimiting commissions m tho course of more accurate surveys and explorations have disco\eied that our previous knowledge was so far erroneous that- the stipulated boundaries, could not accurately be laid on a map. The report of the Mixed Commission on the Anglo-German-boundary in East Africa is a case in point. In 1890 the Germans and British agreed that the boundary between their possessions should cioss Victoria Nyan/a^ in one degree south latitude and go' on to the Congo State, except that when it ( reached Mount Mfumbno, which- Spekc had placed one degree south of the Equator 'on his .map, _ it should skirt tho mountain so that " it might wholly be included in tho British domain. The maps according!v showed 'the mountain as a Bn'tish summit till it was disccnerod that it really stands far to the west in the Congo State, and under existing treaties could not possibly belong to Gtcat Britain It was found later that Mfumbiro is about sixty miles south ol the latitude Spoke assigned to it, so that, even -if his longitude had been correct, it would have been a Ge:nuin instead of a Biitish mountain, and now come the latest results of thj Mixed Commission, bringing both glad and sad news for Great Britain. The Kngcra River, the largest affluent "of Victoria Nyan7a and the ultimate source of its waters, has been assigned on all maps since the treatv of 1890 to German East Africa, but tho Mixed Commission has decided that the lower fourth of this river, from the point where it turns sharplv east to the lake, is north of the boundary line; so the only part of tho river offering excellent facilities for navigation is now proved to belong to Great Britain. "But what the British have gained in the south they have lost in the west, for th'e boundary surveyors have found that a long strip that the maps have included in Uganda is really in the Congo State. For years we havo seen the eastern waters of Albert Edward Nvanza lipping alleged British territory, but now we arc told that every drop in the lake, belongs to the Congo domain; and we may expect further revelations of this sort until crude surveys are replaced by the scientific delimitation of all African boundaries.

Considerable comment 1ms been made on 0111 article re Volcanic Creek, which appealed last vieek, and there seems to be some inis- ������ understanding icgaidinjr its pui- poi t. There is no intention, noi has there been any intention on our part, to prevenPbona-fide operators taking up leases* provided that they co"inply with the "law, especially in respect to worlcing the giound coveied by them.' ' Referring to Volcanic Cieek, after careful enquiry, it would seem that the protest entered by the mineis was not directed especially against that creek, but simply against the gianting of leases on new creeks. Volcanic Creek is ceitainly not a new'cieek, as it was staked and abandoned several times and has practically been open for two years, consequently we'cannot see what reasonable excuse could be made for not granting the leases applied for on _ that creek. 'Nevertheless, there are plenty of leases now held and pending, which mav well be euq'iued ints, especially those actually covenng individual claims ^wiicie work is still going on.

"Been to tea at the parsons!" exclaimed Jimmy Medway with a prolonged stare of astonishment at the unmoved face of his elder brother. "Well, I am���" "I'1 had 110 idea that Ingleby was such a good fellow," his brother said, tranquilly. "I wish I bad looked him up before." "What was there to do, Claude?" Lady1 Gertrude asked,"from the depth of her chair, with her usual air of unwilling interest. "Nothing. There lay the 'charm. Miss Inglcby is a crack pianist and can talk. One listens.- Ingleby is keen on cricket, wants me to set the village boys on to pKiy���one must, I suppose " "Certainly," Sir Arthur added, looking up from his Morning Post, "that kind of thing is expected of , one. And tho Inglebys are" very good people. You may'rely upon it that I should never give the living to a man whom I could" not see at my table with pleasure.'\ "But; Claude, just fancy Claude going to tea with the parson," continued Jimmy, who, was "sixteen and -looked up to his eldest brother as ��� a prince of fast men. "I always said," murmured Lady Gertrude, suppressing a yawn, "that Claude would develop into _ a model squire in time. He will soon be au . ,fait in top-dressings and short-horns ���excited by turnips and depressed by cattle disease. You know the kind,of man���stout and beefy." , "There- is no knowing to what heights we may reach by dint of energy and lofty aspiration," replied Claude, looking before him with 'a curious littler smile, "even Jim, now, Jim might* beotime fa. bishop or a' judge. Come, Jim, you are the last, and one of'us ought to be in tho Church." ' ' ']' All of ai sucden. a light seemed to flash upon Jim and he began to chuckle quietly to ^himself. "Is Jessie Meade a crack piano player?" he asked, demurely, ".or is she-keen on cricket?"^ * ' Claude looked up ��� with an angry frown that only hall subdued Jim, who had passed Jessie at the rectory- gate that' afternon. ' "Jessie Meade, what about Jessie Meade?" asked- Sir Arthur, who had lost the thread of the conversation in his paper. "A very quiet well-conducted young' person," Lady Gertrude remarked, "I really think her quite a godsend for poor dear Ethel. "I don't know what poor Miss Meade has done to bo called a young person," exclaimed Claude with sudden heat. "Claude is right, my lady," said his father, "it is very dreadful to be called a person, especially a' young person unless one is a young person." "Hut what on earth is Jessie Well, it's all about' nothing. Stupid dinner parties," very slow balls. Garden party at Chiswick, royalties gracious and boring. Love to Aunt Gertrude and Uncle Arthur, weather melting), season over, nothing more." "I believe," Claude reflected when ho was alone, "that tho governor is half in love with her himself.

ITe turned to the open window, gazing over the star-lit summer night. "I must lay my parallels,with caution," he thought,'/'a slight s...ile twiching his lips." . "How in the world can I keep Clara in town? If sho brings her heavy artillery to bear upon me, what is the good of all these gradual saps and well-laid trains? Why won't she marry "Bar- dexter and help mo to-marry Jessie. I know she would like, to be a duchess. She winds the governor round her finger and my motHer sees with her eyes. Sho is clever. Her knowledge of life .is extensive and peculiar " - v -'-'! /���-- ' "I am so utterly alone," Jessie mused as she passed along in the sunny - morning, through - the fielhs next day "and so absolutely helpless. I cannot be sure 'of- what is right. I can only try to do what I think is right���if they would but,"let me! ' If I could ' see Philip face to face I might make him-- understand, .poor- boy; but he is so'Tai- away and letters are so different.

Sho had reached the edge of a hay field which waar divided from the next by a tiny wooded gorge, at tho bottom of which gurgled and rippled a bright, brown thread of a stream, crossed by "a wooden foot-bridge. Sho * 'descended' the slope with ' easy light-foot grace, andi pausing at the bridge and leaning against'the slight' hand-rail looked down, arrested by Meade?" cried Jim. "Isn't a rough the fascination of flowing water, into farmer's daughter a young person?" "No, Jim," replied Sir Arthur, "Miss Meade, though a miller's daughter, is not a mere young person. She has every qualification for ascending- the social scale. Beauty such as that young lady's is a distinction in itself, even without such a manner as hers." ' , "Surely, sir," objected" Jim, "a woman takes her father's rank?" "Her husband's," interrupted Claude. "And Miss Meade is as good as married to a gentleman," added Sir Arthur. "Oh! an officer and a gentleman! I daresay! But Randal is only a'ranker," Jim urged. "Ho is a gentleman by birth," his father replied, with emphasis, and as he spoke he'caught Claude's eye "on him with a look of surprise and 'caution. "Oh, I thought ho was a foundling, brought up by some fgrmer, and rose from the ranks'," returned Jim; "well he is engaged to a confoundedly good-looking girl, that's all." "After nil, what is birth to a woman?" Claude added with a sen-' tentiousness that highly amused his mother, "rank and name descend by. the male side. The son of a duke's daughter may be only Mr. Smith." "Mr. Smith with a difference, a duke's grandson," Sir Arthur interjected. "Still plain Smith', or Smith-Swcl- lington at most, sir. But as you said, beauty and manner arc the only needful things for a woman, her name and rank come from her husband." Sir Arthur was not sufficiently interested in the question to point out that this was not precisely the purport of his words. "Did 1 say so?" he returned with a gentle smile, retiring into the seclusion of his Morn- tag Post. ' "I hope you will go to no more tea parties, Claude," his mother said, plaintively, "they make you ponderous. I wish Clara would come, one docs get so bored nt Marwell. Didn't somebody say something about having a letter from her, by the way?". "I heard from her to-day, here is 't'��* Setter,' ��Ju��'' tare the brown, 'shallow stream, dappled by leaf shadows and sunlight. , She-had not waited long before she heard a firm, quick step descending from the, opposite field, and looked up into "tho handsome," good-tempered face of.Mr.-Ingleby, at which ��� her own brightened, and said, with a pretty eagerness, . as he approached her : "I .am so glad, Mr. Ingleby. - I hope you are not in a hurry, I was on my way to see you." "Hurry! My dear Jess���Miss Meade is anybody , or ' anything ever in a hurry in the country ? Look at this lazy, loitering stream; it seems as if it would never get to the sea."-' VBut it will," replied Jessie, looking thoughtfully dawn-into it, "it keeps on, you see, it does the best it can." . ' , " 'Books in the running brooks.' What littlo sermon arc you extracting from the water, Miss Meade?" Sho looked up with a smile, and he noticed the strained serious set of hoi- face, the blue shadows beneath her eyes, the general fatigued aspect which emphasized both her youth an'd hot; beauty. "I have so few friends," she said, "and'such confidence in you. And I wanted " "You wore going to consult me?" he added, gently. "I only hope. T shall prove worthy of the trust. And if I am too stupid, perhaps my sister " "No," returned Jessie, "I don't think Miss Ingleby would understand. Oh! Mr. Ingleby," she added, "it is so hard to know what to do���so very hard " "I should have thought, my dear child," he replied gravely, "that your life was marked out so clearly before you that you had no need to consider that question." "That is tho trouble of it. Othors mark out my life for mc; I am not a froe agent. I am obliged to do what I know to be wrong." "Surely not. No one who has charge of you would wish you to do what you know to be wrong," he replied with a gentle rebuke. "I know, them all. They all treat me as a them all, Jessie, they are all up- Claudc replied, "you1 right, true people, j Have you spoken to inbd it, hdother? j to them? But of con ire z on would do so before turning to a comparative stranger like myself." "Yes," she replied with a, -wearied air, "I havo spoken to th'em,r each and all. They all treat me as a child, "an irresponsible being. Philip forgets what a difference nearly two years makes in . a girl; besides, he has been through such stirring scenes that he can scarcely be expected to give much' thought to my small concerns���my lifo is not in perpetual peril, you see." "She is going^to break with that poor "fellow," Mr. Ingleby thought. "Hard4 lines for Philip: but what could he expect of such a babe ? And yet she cannot have asked to be set free. No man would bind a t girl against her will." ''Jessie," he said aloud,' "we 'can none of us take our lives in our hands and say, we will do this and that with them. , Our lines arc cast for us, often before wc are born; human beings are so linked and intertwined by ties', of kinship, duty and mutual service that no man can 'say L will go this way regardless of others���how much less a womaiH" "How much loss indeed!" she broke out with a bitterness which startled^ him, "we wonder at Turks who' keep their women in cages, and at Chinese 'who deliberately -cripple them, but Englishmen are quite , as bad; though they'do leave their bod-' ies comparatively free, they cage and cripple their souls." - ' "Tell mc all about it," he. said, after a brief-pause of astonishment, "let us rest upon this felled timber in tho shade and not excite our-' selves, and you l shall tell me, if "you can or will, all'about this caging and crippling, what you wish to do and'what your good friends think of it. I am an old friend; I knew you as a very little girl���a good little girl though spoilt. I am the parson of the--parish, /and an old man in comparison with you. , I ought to know more of'lifp and its duties than Miss Jessie Meade, and few things would'give me,-greater pleasure than to do her service." "Yes," replied Jessie, as she took the place he indicated on the prostrate tree-trunk in the wood shadow and speaking with a seriousness that rather took him aback,' "it is not liko speaking to a young man; if people; are not wise at your age, they never will be." Hr. Ingleby ruefully passed his hand over his crisp black' hair, wondering if he had suddenly turned gray and if crow's feet had gathered round his eyes since the morning. "Wisdom and gray hairs" he muttered, seating himself at her side. "And yet," she pursued, "you -are but a man after all.". . ,'True; I was never taken for a de- mi-god, to''my knowledge, or a bear, even in youth." '"Mr. Ingleby," she continued, raising her serious, sweet eyes scarching- ly to his, "is not idleness a sin ? Then why must I live in idleness ? I have talents. Ought I-in bury them in a napkin?" ,Good gracious, I hope she isn't stage-struck," he thought. . "You need--never be idle," he replied; with books, your needle, your pencil, and househo'ld tasks; all these things will prepare you for your approaching marriage. My sister will tclL, you better than I can what a busy, useful life you may lead. "The old story," returned Jessie sadly. "No one wants my needle or my pencil at Redwoods. There are no books, no means of improving one's self. As to household tasks, my cousin has not enough for herself; if she had she could.have extra maids. 1 cannot live at Redwoods; I am fretting myself away there and doing no one any good���ah, perhaps���perhaps I am doing harm���at least to myself." So she spoke, unfolding her plans 1o him, her wish to support herself by some suitable occupation, or at der income, which she sadly feared, as she confessed, was partly made up by Philip, as would enable her to procure first-class instruction, particularly in painting, for which', she was assured, she had talent. Her marriage could not take place yet for some time. ��� That marriage .would place her in a position above that in which she was' born; she needed somo education for it. She wished Mr. Ingleby to persuade her guardians that Redwoods was no place for her, and that it was only fitting for her to go out into -the world in some honest capacity. ��� To teach in a good school for instance, and receive lessons at the name time. "You know, Mr. Ingleby," she said in conclusion, "that people always get into mischief if they have nothing to do." "And I know that people never need be idle unless they choose," he returned, "especially women. What havo you to do with art���the only great artists arc men���or learning ? Your duty, Jessie, is to be a wife and mother." "Oh!" cried Jessie, with a little impatient,' scornful turn of her head, for she was- sick,of the wife and mother cant, "is it absolutely necessary for wives and ��� mothers to be idle and dunces? Men are not told to loaf about in idleness because they are to be husbands and fathers somo day. Philip was not kept from tho war on that account." Mr. Ingleby smiled indulgently, as ono smiles'at the-mischief of a pretty- pet kitten, and gently patted her hand. "You shall have plenty to do," he said, "you know how glad I should,bo if you would teach in the Sunday -School! Then I want to start a lending library; and a host, of parish things in which help like yours would be half the battle.' If you like I will suggest to your cousin that you should help in tha house hold work and have more1 drawing lessons as- well." ' "Thank' you,", ' sho replied, with an air so faultlessly inexpressive that ho could ' not detect tho sarcasm, "you mean well." ,Shc sat with her hands,'on one of which-Mr. Ingleby had laid his own caressingly, clasped on her knee, looking before her at tho brown flowing stream, in a sort of, hopeless silence for some .moments^ revolving things in her ,,mind, 1 and wondering if she dared trust him with ^ tho truth, and-if, even in'that, case, he would help her to what she knew to-be her ��� only safe course. He, in the meantime, was thinking 'seriously of her, and 'pondering what the key to,her'discontent might" be.1 How- account for tho - fatigued, worn look in the sweet young face ? * Had he not seen her only the 11 ight_ before at his own table, as happy, and pleasant, and unconscious of self as any well-conditioned .young girl could hope to be ? And those irrational fears of his respecting the danger of her frequent contact 1 with Claude Medway had all been laid to rest. There was neither coquetry nor vanity in Jessie; it was evident < that she and Medway were able to-meet, however frequently, on such distant terms as excluded any possibility of touching each other's hearts; her position was high enough to insure respect, and too low'to admit of intimacy. But'there was a depth of sorrowful moaning - in Jessie's face, and'a" gentle, patient endurance, in tho slightly drooping attitudo"' that went to -his 'heart. Redwoods 'must bc^ after all, a most uncongenial home- for such a girl. Philip's distance and danger must, be-a heavy sorrow. And then Mrs.,'Plummer's tongue!. Philip had" been alluded to in a manner which indicated that he was not held tho most faultless of lovers; perhaps there was j some lovers' quarrel hard to bear at such ra distance, and by the girl who was loft' behind. ' There was an evidont desire to leave Redwoods at the bottom of it all, a desiretduc, perhaps, partly to the restlessness of a long engagement. Perhaps it-was only a'temporary rebellion-against circumstances, brought'on'.by 'a fit of temper, an unsatisfacttory letter from India, Cousin' Jane's tongue, or some sudden disgust at the men Plummer's rough ways, mingled with the discontent of a spoiled . child. But the look in Jessie's face touched, him deeply,' reason as he would, during the long silence in which'he, studied it; ,a silence emphasized by the murmur of the stream, upon its mossy stones, the 'gentle ..sigh of the summer wind . through' the leafy boughs, the'""twitter and persistent chirp of chaffinch and starling, , the hum of insects, and the'rustle of small creatures among dead leaves and twigs. They' were so ' quiet that a butterfly "poised on a beech- spray almost touching Jessie]s head, and a bee hummed about' a "''spike of (.wood-betony which rustled against her skirts. , ' (TO DC7Continued.) ' SOME BIB J0COI0TIVES MACHINES ��� THAT CAN" HAUL 100 LOADED CARS. ' More Cars to the Train ��� Hauled - ' NVw-a-days Than * " , Formerly. "The giant freight locomotive of to-day," saidNa railroad, man, "walks away easily with many times the load liauled by the freight engine of twenty-five years ago, and ,it has simply revolutionized the freight traf-- fie' business. "The old-time freight'engines weighed from 60,000 to 90,000 pound's, exclusive of 'the tender, which weighed from, 45,000 to 60,000 "pounds. ,In those days the freight cars were from 26 to 28 feet long, their, average weight was ten ��� tons,-the maximum load carried to a car ,wos ten tons, and the average number of cars to a train was twenty-five or thirty. "Call -the number of cars to a train thirty, for the sake of illustration, and say that each.car was loaded'to its maximum capacity, and you have a train of cars weighing 300 tons, 'carrying a load of the same weight, making, as hauled by tho old time locomotive, a total load of 600 tons. "The big modern freight locomotive weighs from 195,000 to 220,000 pounds, exclusive of the tender, which weighs about 140,000 pounds; or, to put tlicso engine weights in ,tqns, while the old engine, with its tender included, weighed altogether approximately sixty-seven tons, tlie modern engine, with its "tender "complete, weighs about 170 tons, and this giant locomotive can haul on a level road .100 loaded cars, and these cars arc heavier than the old-time cars, and all carrying MUCH HEAVIER LOADS. "There arc now made box cars of a capacity of forty tons, and on some roads of fifty tons. Th'e forty- ton car, for example, is forty feet long and weighs nineteen tons. "Observe tliat the capacity of this car is more than double the weight of tlie car itself, %vhile In the old- time car, with* the capacity'and tho weight of the car equal, there was as much dead weight hauled as freight. In all modern car building by better and more scientific construction a constant effort''has been made, and with increasingly successful results, to increase the car capacity in proportion to tho weight of tho car. "But, while such highly economical cars have now como into use, the great majority of th'e earn running throughout the country have not yet been brought-up' to ,so high a Standard. If'you should tat* the cars as you actually find them-running today you 'would find them to average a length of about 35 feet and a weight of 15 tons as against"the old- time 28-foot, 10-ton freight car. "As to the load now carried," it is pretty difficult to strike an average, j but that could probably be But'down! at 25 tons, as against the old-time 1 maximum"; 10-ton load,"' makiag - the, present day average box car and -load; together weigh 40 tons, against tho, old time-total of'20 tons. "And now if you will take a train of to-day of- sixty loaded cars, which is far below the average for lovel roads, you will find a big cngino hauling, a train of twice as . m.iny cars as were hauled in an old-time train, and these loaded cars weighing twice as much, or sixty cars of a total load of 40 tons each, as against thirty-cars of 20 tons each, making the total load hauled now four times the old load, or . "' '" 2,400 TONS AGAINST 000. "And don't forget that while in the 600-ton load more than 50 per cent, was dead weight,, in the 2,400-ton load the dead Reigh't is only about 88 per cent, and- the'-revenue -weight about 60 por cent. And, us wo have socn, in tho most modern cars tho proportion of the freight weight carried to the 'dead weight is 'larger - still. "We have used "as 'a basis for figur- - ing a train of sixty average cars. But 'n.s ] have siild, that would be far below the avcrago.of the number of cars luiulcd by great'trunk linos running through'-lovel regions. , On such' lines they have trains of 100 loaded cars,' making the weight hauled, say, 4,000 tons; and trains of 95 loaded cars arc not 'uncommon, and the average number of cars to a-train -on such roads might be set dawntat 85' or 90. - "Those figures arc largely approximate, but they show the,revolution ini freight hauling that has,been wrought^ with the aid of the modern freight locomotive! ,' ' :- "Tlie great locomotives havo increased the efficiency of the railroads in many ways., If, for instance, it should be sought to haul with engines' of the old-time power the enormously, increased amount of freight tliat the -railroads have now to han- ��� die, there would be so many trains on the roads that they couWn't move and the roads would be practically blocked. ' - "Of "course, the big locomotive is vastly r more, economical. It costs twice as much as the old-time locomotive did to begin with, but tiiat is really an inconsiderable item as com-- pared with the increase in the amount of work-it does. ��� " "The"big engine can be run by th'e. same number of.men that handled the little one, and'with power bi alios on the cars the same crew can handle the bigger train. LABOR^ COSTS MUCH 'MORE than it formerly did, and the big engine burns more fuel, and of course the cost, of the supplies needed for the running of the big train is greit-., er and so is the cost of repairs; but all this greatly increased exjpense is spread over so much more freight hauled that the actual cost of hauling has been reduced and freight is now hauled cheaper, than "ever. "The' great modern freight locomotive couldn't be used on roads as they used.to build them, and so tliey lay now-a-days far heavier rails than formerly; where they ,uscd to put down ��� rails of fifty or sixty .pounds to tho , yard they now lay 3 00-pound rails to sustain the added weight of tho great engine. . ; /'And as far heavier rails are l.aidi for these great engines to'run on,| very,different appliances and machinery are used' in handling them when'' off the road. In old times, for example, when they had one of those, little old engines in the ahop for repairs, -if they had occasion to raise . it they used to jack it up. Now-a- days they have tremendous cranes' - that will lift one of these ponderous engines., as easily as the great engine itself will haul its heavy load on .the l-ails'. "And as to the roads, again, bo- sides being reluid with far heavier rails they havo been further improved and th'e hauling of far heavier loads over them made possible by far better construction and by the straightening out of curves and the reducing of grades,' and all these improvements have of course contributed greatly to the present day efficiency of the roads in the hauling of freight; but all tlicso things together wouldn't count for much, without tho modern'freight locomotive, the giant engine that walks away across tlie country easily hauling a Hundred loaded freight curs." j ii .1 $ THE NEW ARRIVAL.
