The, cunning M'atabele seemed determined to exhaust every artifice ��������� which could be conceived before combining for a grand assault. Their severe losses on ' the two former occasions appeared to .'make them a trifle shy about venturing up that miniature canyon. Perhaps they had some knowledge of the avalanche of ragged projectiles waiting to be turned loose upon 'the first ..provocation, and shrank from the encounter. At least/such a grand movement was kept as a sort of dernier ressort,' to *be attempted, when all "other tactics failed. - Bludsoc and his heroes- could ( not. expect' a moment's sleep. They must be on the qui vive'every second of the night, for no one could tell whon or where the craf,ty 'Matabclo would strike, and surely "eternal vigilance was the price of safety under ^ such circumstances as these'. ���������* - An hour had scarcely elapsed since the flight of. the two scouts, when Rod Eric detected a movement, in ''a quarter where they .had no,t believed' an attack could ���������be made: / The face of the "rocky wall was so r steep" that' it 'did not srem as though human beings could climb _it: but those' dwellers of the South African wilderness wqre next to monkeys in agility, and nothing seemed impossible to them. , ' ' * lie gave'* no nlnrm. b'u(. the word was quietly passed around; and when a collection of stones hot h/ larrc and small had*been laid in, the bombard-, meat began. , , Tt ' was quite a fierce little 'affair while it lasted, for some of IN; ene-' my had managed'to effect a lodgment in places higher-up than was ''suspected, *and taking advantage of the excitement these dare-devils attempted, to carry the fortress.

This time as before, they were successful in dislodging the foe, whose evident design it -vas, to annoy tl em rather than carry the fort: but the end was not achieved without some little waste of. energy, and several -less cartridges to account for.

Then thp whole affair would die away, and an interval elapse before tlie next outbreak. Such a night will remain stamped indelibly upon the memory until time shall be no more -with those who take part in its tragic occurrences.; Bludsoc and his employer held, many conferences, while Rex talked in a* low voice with the young girl, whom he found bearing up under the strain in a remarkable manner,thanks to t!ie self-reliance which necessity had taught her during her life among the bmbarians.

It'is probable that we all in. more or less de-, jjreo, even when not conscious of any definite syniptoms. are suffering in some part. , of our system for the lack of euough.iluid and.espucially of enough pure cool water. , '���������'.Wi know that so nicely is the human obdy adjusted and adapted to/its uses; that one part caunot suffer without all suffering. If the nerves are desiccated or dried through lack of fluid, thou it is cer-' tain that other tissues are, also suffering from the same lack aiid that the-wheels of ��������� the wonderful machinery are being clogged by reason of waste matter whieh is not washed away. We see by this that water does for us a threefold service. It feeds, it washes,'and it carries away the Cinders of the body furnace, and through the want ,of it we are exposed to many and great dangers. The tissues become too dry, the blood is thick and its flow, sluggish, and the retained waste of the body sets up a condition which the doctors call "autointoxication," or self poisoning. This condition may give rise to almost any known symptoms from a pimple to heart failure and is really responsible for most of the semi- invalids with whom the world is largely peopled. * To obtain the best results from water drinking certain rules should b'e observed. People do not all need tho same amount, and it may take a little experimenting to fiud out just how much should be taken in individual cases. It has been stated by some physicians that live or six pints should be taken during the twenty-four hours. Of this-only a moderate quantity "should be taken with the meals. It is a mistake to-take no water with a meal, but it is perhaps a greater mistake to wash food down with water, especially with ice water. ,-' ���������The best time for water drinking is at night and early in the morning. It is well to^form the habit of slowly/sipping during the,bath and wliile dressing two or three glasses of cool, not ice cold, water. Twjr" of three more may he sipped at bedtime 'and again two or three glasses an hour or two before luncheon and befpre dinner. > In a very short time the value of this habit will become apparent in the resultant general improvement in digestion,' temper and appearance.���������Youth's Companion.' :'.

The magnificent Taj -Mahal, that wonderful memorial tomb at Agra, in India, cost '$10,006,000, but this is much less than ..-th'e'..amount, of the endowment of the Stanford, university. The one monument is hut a masterpiece of beauty; the other, is the source of education and inspiration to higher achievements., for countless th', ii ;f! mis in the years to'come. Mrs. Stanford has given her entire time and attention to this great loving memorial to her son and to her husband, who bequeathed to her this trust of affection. Her one ambition is to make the university one of the greatest educational institutions in the world.���������Lodger Monthly. markablc.

One evening at a well known hotel a aumber of traveling men were spinning yarns, and the talk turned upon self : suerift're and tbe privations good friend* bad undergone to contribute to tbe world- : ly success of an associate. One, solemn ; faced man told the following. , /, "I had two schoolmates," he began. j "One of them was aspiring to be a law- ;���������.,;. yer andrtfie other hod aspirations for a 1/hich ph������* in the medical profession. The :,'college we attended was one at which I tte, discipline was severe and the require- ' ttnrnts for graduation were exacting. Well, ' those two boys managed. to worry along a'ntil the day of the final examination citrae. The young law student had perfected himself, in his studies and was likely to pass with high honors. Tbe ', inrdieal student, howeven was, in a far lees enviable plight. He found that the examination would be for the'most part upon the anatomy of the leg, and this wan the one branch of the course he had neglected. He confided lnjais- roommate and wailed out his sorrows. ��������� "'If I only had a leg to dissect,' said he, 'I would pass that, examination at the head of my class.' * "It was here that his roommate rose sublimely to tbe occasion. He rolled up his trousers and insisted that his friend amputate his leg st the knee. His medic* al friend demurred, but the law student , insisted, and finally the amputation, was performed and tbe medical student captured his diploma. ' .' ' ".Years afterward this same doctor was sitting in an office surrounded by nil the evidence, of a prosperous practice. The ��������� door opened and in enme his old roommate lat college.' The, greeting was, of course, affecting, nnd then'tbe doctor inquired how the,'lawyer was, getting on in , the world. The lawyer said he had been practicing several years in (the ^petty 'at- _ fairs of'the' law and would rise~to~������~dis- tinction if lie could secure'a. good case. ' 'I want a murder case.' said be; "one that-will attract special attention and iu- i voire some wellr known cltJxeu.' *- "The doctor excused, himself nnd. pick-* ing up a Heavy nnoker, left the room. He proceeded down Htairs and' killed his. landlady, resortiuff to nil the atrocities that. Ingenuity'could devise to make his' crime" one that would create a sensation. He was siiceessf ul. , The papers teemed' -with, the'awful details of the, deed nnd the tragic events of the trial. Kin friend. the; one legged * lawyer,. defended him. ���������nd he was'cleared.''

Here for a song- 3*011 may command
Old books, a ell thumbed and lioary;
Along the grimy walls they stand,
Tomoa of immortjl story.
And out of reach, on loftier sheUes,
Beyond our small ambitions
. And slender parse, dwell by themselves
The costlier "first editions."
There let them rest till Crccsus comes;
We really do not need them.
Content to banquet on the crumbs,
"""��� "~~~~We buy our books���and* read them I
Tlie one that boars the marks of use,
Back broken,* worn and shattered,
Is'dearer that its leaves are loose, '
Its poor frame rent and tattered.
,. ,i This grim old keeper of the stall
Tends these dead things in leather ���
, And sheep and cloth -*nd parchment���alj
Close sepulchcred together,
And few alas, besides ourselves
Who, prowl about the portals
Seek out along tlie dusty shelves
The names of these immortals! .
- Here where the city's life goes by,
Where wheel and wagon rumble,'
Wrapped in their cerements they lie.
The lofty nnd the humble.
Dust unto dust���but from their sleep
Come bright, immortal flashes;'
Their spirits into being leap
From out their crumbling ashes.
They are not dead, these silent tomes;
' They die not, save in seeming;
Far from these bookish catacombs
r They fill the world with dreaming,
And each that some small message gives
Or makes for' high endeavor
_ P.uts off mortality, *b'ut lives ',
And works its will forever!

', The sun. had 'sunk behind. Ben Nevis'
towering" triple peak, and the mountain
cast a'deep shadow over the'castle'of In-
J _verlochy_���and,far out'upon .the placid blue
���"{waters of Lochiel.
', - A' merry group of highland lads and
. ' lasses .were congregated upon, 'the greensward before the "castle's walls, threading
- v> with.'joyous steps the mazes,of <the dance,
to the inspiring notes of the 'shrill bagpipe: ._
All,.was'mirth and glee, when an unto ward, accident disturbed theharmony of
the scene. A,." band of highlanders de-
scended'thb mountain pass,'driving beforo
them 'a'herd of',cattle. A bull, shaggy
; and! untamed, broke ,f rom. the .herd and
with_,a ferocious ^bellow dashed toward
,_the circle of dancers. , *
���o With .'shrill cries they broke up? their'
'" sport "and "fled'in,all directions. ,Tho in-
' furiated animal singled out one fair girl,"
" prob'ably attracted by her scarf,,the pre-
- -vailing'color of^ which was red, and close-'
% ly pursued,'her. ,_,_ ,s>, . "-
Though fear lent her" wings, the mad
beast gained \inoh_her. He was close' at
''her heels, his head'leveled for the plunge,
'-.wwhen a tall Highlander sprang before the
' flying girl, grasped the bull by the horns'
- and, with ,a dexterous movement, hurled.
the huge animal upon its back. Ere it
could rise to its feet again the drovers,
who had been_swarming to the rescue of
,-the girl, bound _ it securely with, cords.
When goaded to its feet again, the .bull
moaned plaintively and looked around bewildered and subdued by its rough tumble.
1 The villagers of Inverlochy thronged
around the man who had performed thia
great feat of muscular strength, and the
fair^ gii'1 he had saved timidly thanked
her deliverer. They all gazed curiously
upon him, for.it was'now perceived that
he did not wear the tartan of the Campbells and-was a stranger. ��._
He was a boy in years, not over twen-
- ty, and/yet fully developed, standing full
6-feet 4 inches in height, clad in highland
costume, which displayed his well proportioned form td great advantage, and
wearing an eagle's feather in his bonnet,
the symboi oi a chief. His target, or
shield, "round aa the moon," covered with
ox hide and studded with brass knobs,
hung around his neck. The hilt of a huge
two handed'claymore peeped from under
his left arm, and a long dirk rested in the
sheath upon his right thigh. Clad in this
, picturesque garb, with Jonir, flowing locks
of light brown hair, a ruddy complexion
���" and a bright blue eye, he was a fine type
of those ancient warriors of the Gael
whom, the bard Ossian has immortalized
in song.
- "What is thy name, pretty lassie?" he
asked ihe girl, when she had thanked him
for the good service and stolen a glance
of admiration at the frank, open face and
stalwart form of her preserver.
"I am called Annie of Lochiel," she answered timidly, yet with a sweet smile
,-that. had. n. strange fascination for the
���young Highlander,! who found it impossi-,
Lie to, withdraw his gaze from that winning face.
���'"Are you a Cameron of the Clan Lochiel?". he! asked eagerly and with interest. . ���
"Not.she!" broke in one of the men of
Inverlochy, who wore the badge of an
under chief. "She is a .Campbell; and we
call her Annie of Lochiel because she was
born by yonder water. Her mother was
a McLean; she died when Annie was an
infant. Her father was Duncan Campbell, laird bf Morven, and he was. slain
by the.Gordons of Huntley in the'raid of
Garioch. There's her history in a nutshell. I that tell it to you am Malcolm
MacPhie, captain of Inverlochy, and now,
my braw gillie, who are you?"
The highiander reared his tall form
.with haughty pride as he replied:
"I am Alaster MacDonald, son of Coll-
of-the-left-band, chieftain of Mingarry
and Kintyre."
A buzz went around the circle at these
words. The MacDoualds were a bold
and warlike clan, and Coll-of-the-left-
hand was not unknown to fame.
"I have heard of the chieftain of Kin-
tyre," returned Malcolm MacPhie, "but
why do they call him 'of the left hand?' "
"Faith, I know not," answered Alaster
carelessly, "unless it be that he can wield
his claymore as well with the left hand
as with the richt-"-
A murmur of admiration greeted this
announcement. Strength of limb and
skill in arm's were considered great virtues
in those warlike days.
"Come, Alaster," cried Malcolm, his
heart won by the bold bearing of the
young highiander. "Thou hast preserved
our fairest maiden from a cruel death.
Bide with me in Inverlochy for a few
days and taste the hospitality of our an-L.
dent castle."^
"There is no feud between our clans,",
returned Alaster, "and I accept yqur offer." '* *
They entered the castle together. ��� ���
Malcolm MacPhie had cause to rue the
hospitality which had induced him to invite the young highland chieftain to en-
tot*, rhe wills of Castle Inverlochy. It
soon became apparent to others besides
himself that the bold Alaster had found''
favor in the eyes of pretty Annie of Lochiel. A strong affection seemod to have
arisen at^the first meeting of this young'
pair, an affection which their eyes were
not slow'to'confess and,,which was revealed in eloquent glances.
,Malcolm had detected more than one of
these glances as he dispensed the hospitality of the castle, and he resolved in'his
own mind that Alaster should not bide
long at Inverlochy. lie prevented*,.all
chances of conversation between' them
until it was time for Annie to retire for
tho night. He then invited Alaster to
Walk with him upon the battlements and
pointed "out the streugth of the castle.
1 A taper gleamed from a low turreted
window that looked out upon'tne parapet.
'.'Who occupies yon chamber?" asked
Alaster. r
~"Annie of Lochiel," replied Malcolm.
'."A winsome lassie," responded Alaster
warmly.. "I would I could persuade her
to go with, me" into the land of -Kintyre
,and becom'e the mistress of Castle Min-1"
garrj*. It would glad1-'the heart of Coll-
of-the-left-hand to welcome so fair a
daughter." *,* ��� -��� ..,*..*
"That can never be," returned Malcolm
quickly, with an angry flush.. "Annie is
the ward'of Sir Donald'Campbell o'f,'Au-
chinbreck, my chief and kinsman. Seek
another, bride, , Alaster "MacDonald, for
Annie is to be my wife." (
, Alaster's eyes were fixed upon the little
'window as he listened to these words, and
he,saw a fair face,appear there. An energetic shake bf the head said very plainly, "No, no!?'to Malcolm's assertion, and
the fair vision disappeared.
"I wish'you joy," replied Alaster. with
a quiet smile. /'Happy will be the man*
who calls, the lovely Annie,his." ' '
' A white,'hand was waved for an moment from- the casement and quickly
withdrawn. Alaster was understood and
answered.' Malcolm was totally uncon->
scious of'this novel courtship. �����
. , "A "rare, place this for an escalade,"
said Alaster, leaning over the parapet'.and
pointing to a" spur of Ben .Nevis that
reared its craggy head almost on a level
with, the battlements. _ ' __'_.'
..,,'.For.a goat, -*yes," answered'Malcolm
disdainfully. *"No " human4 being, could'
���scale yon cliff. 'Look at the'distance. It
is twelve feet from the battlement, with
a yawning-abyss between"; An enemy will
never'enter Inverlochy from that quarter." ' '
, "A lover .might,, scale yonder" cliff to
speak with'his sweetheart," "returned, Al-
^stt-r carelessly, "aiid he ""would think
lightly of the danger for tho boon of one
sweet smile."
"And break his neck for his pains,"
answered'Malcolm with a laugh. "Come,
''the night is nearly spent, and you are
welcome to a share cf a soldier's couch."
They left the battlements without further' words and descended to Malcolm's
chamber.
In the morning early Alaster departed,
for he had no excuse to prolong his stay,
and Malcolm MacPhie drew a long breath
of satisfaction when he saw the stalwart
form of the young highiander disappear
up the glen.
That night when the moon veiled her
silvery face behind the towering head of
old Ben Nevis Annie of Lochiel wandered
pensively upon the battlements of Inverlochy, gazing ever and anon upon the
craggy platform that jutted out from the
mountain's side.
A tall form emerged from the shadows
and advanced to the edge of the cliff.
"Alaster?" whispered the maid in cautious tones, bending over the parapet.
"I am not a goat," answered, Alaster
with a glecsome laugh, "but it is even I,
Alaster, fair Annie."
"now brave you are!" cried the maid
involuntarily. "You have undergone this
danger to see me once again?"
"You-know right well what brings mo
here: Annie, I love you. Short as our
acquaintance has been, yon have enslaved
my heart. I have scant time for wooing.
My presence here may be discovered at
any moment. If you bide in Inverlochy,
it will be to become the wife of Malcolm
MacPhie. Fly with me to the land of
Kintyre and share a chieftain's homo."
"Alaster, I would Avillingly fly with,
thee to escape the dreaded fate, that
awaits me hero, but how can I escape?
Malcolm MacPhie has watched me closely1 all the day"���
"Aye, and he watches thee nrtw!" cried
Malcolm, suddenly emerging upon the
battlement. Fickle jade! Didst think to
outwit meV"
Annie uttered a faint shriek of despair.
"Leap, Annie, leap!" cried Alaster in
sharp, ringing tones. "The space is narrow��� spring boldly from the parapet���
thy lover's arms await thee!"
Scarcely conscious what she did���impelled by desperation and that instinctive
feeling'-of obedience which true love
prompts���Annie avoided the grasp of the-
exasperated Malcolm, ran a few steps
upon the parapet18 and leaped boldly
across the yawning void. Malcolm paused aghast. He expected Jo hear'her death
shriek and the dull sound of her form as
it.struck the rocks beneath. But he heard
only a cry of joy and saw Annie twining
her arms around Alaster's neck, while
his clasped her in safety to his breast.
To this day the curious traveler who
visits the old gray ruins of Inverlochy is
shown the spot from which Annie sprang,
aud that part of the battlement still bears
the name of the "Maiden's Leap."
��� Alaster and Annie disappeared in the
gloom, nnd Malcolm hastened to alarm
tne castle ana urge a hot pursuit. But
who could follow the bold highiander as
he leaped lightly from crag to crag, bearing his precious, burden in his arms?
Pursuit, was unavailing; ,the fugitives
could not be found, and Malcolm MacPhie returned sullenly to Inverlochy,
swearing a deep and bloody vengeance.
There-was high feasting in the'land of
Kintyre, and Castle Mingarry opened its
hospitable gates so that all of the Clan
^.Donald might witness the nuptials ,of
Annie of Lochiel and Alaster, their young
'chief. _ .

The Mnlcli as ��n Aid When Irrigate
, inj*; Euriiij-,- Drought.
' The plan of conserving moisture by
an earth mulch m:��ie by frequent cultivation may be the best one in growing farm crops, but a writer in American Gardening expresses the opinion
that* for the gardener who plants close-
ly and practices an intensive system of
. culture the moisture that can be conserved by an<earth mulch is not sufficient for the'needs of the plants.
1 He says: During a drought, of two
weeks in August I have had plants wilt
to the ground, although an earth mulch
was kept around them., Even with the
, very, best soils the gardener who obtains the best results must in' midsummer, when the weather is hot and dry
and moisture evaporates rabidly, use
some means of conserving m'oisture
and if one can irrigate provide more
water than the soil gets from its natural sourens. My experience with irrigation has taught m'e bow to economize
in the use of water" by mulching or
shading the surface of the ground.
Few people realize the largo quantity
of water needed fto supply the loss
from thevevaponition of- moisture 'aud
the transpiration of plants'during the
hot days when' the suu-shines. The water pumped up from "the soil'through
the roots by the process of-.trauspira-*-
tiou is estimated at* 50 to"100 tons per
acre on closely planted fields *in 2-4
hours. Pf the surface of tho ground is
exposed, 'the soil loses as much more
by ^evaporation.x. When irrigating during a-'drdughf. I have found that much
less water w,as required where the surface: was mulched-with manureor other material, and where I prevented'the
loss-from evaporation with the mulch,
better results were ..obtained with less
than one-half the water. _ t , " |
' My plan "is to plant closely, cultivate
the plants'frequently during the early
part of the'summer, then later, .when
the plants are larger and.need more
moisture,' to place a mulch of 'manure
between the'rows. - - . '
I suppose ������ every, one who has cultivated the soil has noticed* the difference in soils as'to absorbing and retaining rnoistm-e; that'' gravelly and
sandy soils raisidly" lose -their moisture
when exposed to a" hot "sunshine and
that loamy soil full-6f humus retains
water Jike a sponge and under" the
right treatment conserves''a1 constant
supply.for the growing plant.* \
In a Word,' the lessons I have learned
in the garden are: Fill the soil*with the
humus that enables it to retain 'all the
moisture^possible.^ give "frequent cultivation during the'early part,of the
summer, then ���, mulch the unshaded
spaces," and when a crop is removed before September seed with a cover crop.

The Prnctice of a Grass Specialist.
That great grass specialist, George
Clark of Connecticut, cultivates, harrows and plows his land over 20 times
before seeding. In this thorough preparation is the sure road to success, a
large crop and few seeds. After the
ground'is ready the seeding is an easy
and simple matter. If for market purposes, clear timothy or timothy and
redtop may be used, but if the crop
is-to be-fed out on the farm or the field
is to be used for pasture some other
grasses may be added. From v15 to 25
pounds of seed \o the acre should.be
used. It may be put on with the grass
seed attachment to the grain drill,
broadcast by hand or with a grass
seed sower. ' If sown broadcast, the
field must be cross sown in order to
avoid any skips. The seed should be
covered lightly with a smoothing or
brush harrow or a light roller. ' While
the roller smooths and levels the surface and 'compacts the soil around the
seed and' insures a speedy germination it is not advisable to use it on
many soils. On hillf-ides it makes -it
worse for washing, and in moist places
it makes the ground too wet. The
brush harrow is probably the best implement foi1 covering the seed. As to
time of sowing, this depends somewhat
on the weather. From Aug. 20 to Sept.
'10 is probably the best period. After
sowing nothing more is required unless
it be to hand pull any bad weeds which

'Destroying'Bushes. .
Bushes cut to the ground in August
will often be entirely killed. The bush
has exhausted its sap in making the
summer .'growth, of leaves, and if these
are dried up it has not enough sap to
send lip sprouts this fall. Some: may
start next spring, and these should be
burned over if not where it will endanger buildings 'or,'forests.���'��� The fire
will char the buds at the base of the
leaves sufficiently to kill them.

Mr. Coilingwood tells in The Rural
New Yorker that he sometimes thinks
a few bags of nitrate of soda are about
the handiest fertilizer for a farmer to
carry through tlie summer. "How it
will quicken up 'cabbage, grass or any
crop that makes i;ts chief growth above
ground! Take th;e fodder corn crop or
anything designed- to substitute for
hay, and a little nitrate will make
them jump."

The speech, from the throne' deals with, several Lnpor- tant matters���������the recent negotia-. tions with the Federal Government with regard to railway subsidies, fishery development, railway rates, ��������� oh agricultural subsidies, immigra; tion, finance and the development of unsettled territory by means of railway's. -Owing to the absence of speaker * Booth, Mr Po'oley was elected speaker, and took.the chair., After some routine business Mr Helmcken, on a 'question'-of privilege,-moved that a writ be issued for the election of a member to fill the vacancy in the Legislature caused' by the resignation,of the���������Hqn. Mr Turner, one of the membersfor Victoria City/ The, Premier, in reply-, ' ing, eaid that " the delay had been caused' by Mr Helmcken, who had beon asked to take a position in the Cabinet, and who had led him (Mr' Dunsmuir) to believe that he would accept it. He (Mr Dunsmuir) had waited 'for a..month'for an answer from Mr Helmcken, who had never told .him that he5 would not accept * the position, and in fact he did not* know 'that he; would not enter the 'GoVernmen't'until he,saw in a re- - port of .Mr Bod well's meeting tha t he. would, not "join the Govern , menCV Mr Helmcken denied the' truthjof the Premier's statement": and the Premier replied: "All lean Bay*xb, that it is the truth." Mr Helmcken's decided opposition to the' Dunsmuir.' Government has caused some surprise, as it is well known that he hascalways straddl- edv thej* fence since he became a member of tb_e Legislature. Possibly his trimming propensities have had much to do with his non-suc- cess as a politician. He was always very amiable and accommodating, * but heretofore would never commit .himself to one side or the other. Th������ debate was* adjourned until Monday on a division of 18 to 15. On.Monday the speech from the throne was'to have'been considered but the session of the House was taken up by a prolonged wrangle over the allotment of the members' Beats? Mr Richard McBride considered that he was entitled to take . the-seat held by Mr Joseph Martin, the opposition leader, during 'the last' session of the Legislature. Mr . Martin,' however, refused to give up the seat. *' Mr Smith Curtis took a hand in- the row, and endeavored to hold the seat against all comers, but Mr-M-artin'managed to regain his seat after many attempts to' pull him out of the chair. Finally the friends of the belligerents interfered, and the House, by a vote of ,16 to 19, ordered, that the assignment of seats should remain as fix- ���������d at the last session; o'f the Legislature. 'When Mr Speaker Booth takes Che chair the '.Government will have a fair working majority, with a certainty of. its beiug in-' . creased'from, day to day. Neither th-; House nor the Government will be. bull-dozed by politicians of the Smith'-'Curt'it: and McBride stripe.

Yet we~read ���������in the Hoy Bible, when Satan addressed Jesus our saviour, he uses these words, "What have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God," and "Ait thou come to destroy us before the time.'' Read Matthew viii-29; Markj-24; Luke iv-34; and Job I. Now, please notice this compared with man's way especially when he is intoxicated, he uses awful language compared with this. He calls upon God to damn his soul and the souls of his wife, children, and compnnions with whom he is talking. Then why docs Satan not curse and blaspheme God's name like man does? simply because he , is not so ignorant as man is, and he knows more about God than man does. As Satan was an angel of great beauty he aspired to be in God's place and through pride and rebellion he fell. Still, sinful as he is, he knows more about God than man does, and fears his awful wrath. ' ��������� If all who curse and swear will take their Bibles and read the twenty-fourth chanter of Leviticus, they will see who the first man who cursed and blasphemed was, and its consequences, as God caused him 'to he stoned to death. If they re;id this chapter carefully 1 think thev will never curse or blaspheme God's name again or be able to hear it without COAL MINES REGULATION ACT. ��������� ~ .,'' Board, of Examiners. 1TOTICE is hereby given-that the foIloV- ll ing constitute tho Board of Examiners for the Comox Mine during tbe year 1902 : Appointed,by the Owners:���������Richard Short, ��������� . and David Walker.
