In this calculation I am considering only the land between (iilpin and Carson and the NEWS OF THE CITY valley of the North Fork for 12 miles north of the city. The trade of this district will all come to Grand Forks, and its potential fruitgrowing acreage ie fully three times as great as the acreage tributary to Wonatchee, which has more than 4000 inhabitants. Grand Forks will also probably become a centre of the railway industry. We are remarkably well supplied with railroads here, and if the railroads get proper encouragement they will undoubtedly build shops here and make this place one of the most important railway towns iu the West. I have it on excellent authority that, to secure the erection of i'ailway shops here, nothing is expected but the exemption of such shops from taxes for a term of years to be agreed upon. Now, there will be no exemption from taxee in the case of dwelling houses of the railroad men, and thu location of such shops here would greatly increase the revenue of the city, even if the shops themselves should be exempted from taxation.

The Future of Grand Forks Editor Eneiiiny Hun. livery time I go away and return 1 find on returning that a number of families have left Grand Forks and gone to Vancouver to live. All eyes appear to ba turned towards Vancouver now. I admit that Vancouver has of the shops here. a great future before it, but I feel The climate of Grand Forks ought eure that GrandForks has also a | to be a strong factor in increasing its population. At present there are two slight drawbacks, the heat during the day in the middle of the summer and the winds that occasionally blow in bright future before it, au j I think th it people should consider the matter very carefully before leaving their old homes here to seek new ones in Vancouver. ' In considering the future of Grand Forks the mind natuially turns first to the Granby smelter, as that is one of our oldest industries. I think there can be no doubt concerning the per* manency of this smelter. It is the second largest copper smelter in the world, and it is likely that fifty years from now hundreds of men will be found at work there, and that there will be a large payroll. Even if the present Granby mines should in time become exhausted, there can be no ileubt that the company, whioh is very enterprising, will find and develop new mines, as they are continually looking fur new sources of supply. A great deal of money has hern spent on the smelter, and the Granby company will never be willing to lose that money if tbey can find copper ore anywhere within two or three hundred miles of Grand Forks In one respect the Grai.by oompany can a great deal for Grand Forks. It would be of grest benefit to this town if they wonld make it a fixed rule to u-ivae tha Dreference married The Koyal Lilliputian Opera com pany presented "San Toy" to a large and appreciative audience at the Grand Forks opera house on Wednesday night. On the following night "The Gondoliers" was the bill, and it was received by a large audience with equal favor. The Royal Lilliputian Opera company is composed of thirty clever young people. It is an organization of a superior nature. Baby Grace, only four and one-hulf years of age, captured the hearts of the audi ence with hei clever singing, dancing and acting. The star, Miss Pearl Carlyle, possesses a sweet soprano voice and beauty of face and form, and her work in both the' operas was greatly admired by those who had the good fortune to be present. variety name Growers aud packers are also particularly reminded that the definition of Grades, Fancy No. 1 aud No. 2, do not vary from year to year, nor do they vary in dilferent provinces of the Dominion. If the quality of the fruit generally is poor, tbe only result is, that a small proportion of the fruit is of the higher grades. Copies of the Inspection and Salo Act, giving sizes of boxes, and all other particulars regarding the pack- ng and marking of fruit and fruit packages, can be had on application from all Dominion fruit inspectors. tne wiims *„*•. . , ,..- ^ D Morrison bas a good crop tho southern part of the valley and 0fpeache» at his Columbia residence fill the air of that part with dust.

Tory Nominee for Reciprocity At the MacLeod, Alta,, Conservative convention on Wednesday night, John Herron, member for MacLeod for the past seven years, went back on Borden's trade policy. In taking the nomination he said: "If elected again I will go to Ottawa and vote for tbe reciprocity pact. 1 think it danger ous in spots, but everyone in the con drawbacks, as, when the soil is soaked with water, the evaporation will cool tho air; and, as soon as the south side residents have an abundance of water, they can easily plant and maintain windbreaks that will keep the dust from reaching their houses. Many men of wealth from the prairie provinces on retiring from business have gone to Vancouver to live, and the dampness of the air there in the winter has so seriously interfered with their health and comfort that they have been compelled to go back to toe praii ies to live. Lately, however, most of theui, instead of going back to the prairies, have removed to Vernon and other towns in the Okanagan district. There is no doubt that many men of this stamp will come here to live as soon as the superiority of the Grand Forks climate becomes known.

The Sane Middle Course At the Conservative meeting the other night Martin Burrell declared tliat every man in Canada must be one of two things, either an imperial ist or an anti imperialist, that there is no middle course. Was be correct in that statement? Must every man be an extremist, oue way or the other! We think uot. Must each one of ue be either a nationalist of the Quebec type or an imperialist of the other extreme brand! Both of these types make their respective causes unpopular by their very blundering zeal. Mr. Burrell stated that Canada's prime mi-presented Canadian sentiment at imperial conference, but if that be a | fact, and we do not concede tbat it ••■ "a- vu_i_ , , , , liTthe blame rests not with Sir Wil stitnency wants it, and_therefore 1 j ' Uoriar h(jt with lhe threo el?

There are now fourteen men on the payroll al the Emma mine, mostly former Granby employees. There are 150 men employed at the Rawhide mine and 50 in Wel- ington camp. Mrs. Geo. Gowland left on Tuesday to visit friends in Seattle and Spoknne for a few weeks. METEOROLOGICAL will vote for it " Mr. Herron, who declared that he favored reciprocity with the United States because every one in his constituency favored it, issued a statement in MacLeod this week explaining his position. He said that farmers' unions had voted in fa vor of the agreement almost unanimously, town councils and boards of trade had endorsed it, and he had only a few letters opposing it. He said he saw dangeis in reciprocity, but that if the people did not find it to work to their advantage, it could be cancelled by a stroke of the pen.

All this wos news indeed to Vera, though it is already known to the reader; but she asked no questions- she wus quite content to stand there and listen to all thut Evors hud to say. "I would not stay with your brother," he went on. "I went off immediately to an old fViend, to whom I told a portion of my story. • He supplied ine with money and clothing, and advised me that' the best thing I could do was to go quietly away into the country und give myself an entire rest. I followed his advice, and I drifted down here, I suppose in the same way that an animal finds its way home. I did not know my father was away, and you can imagine my surprise when I discovered to whom he had let the house. I feel pretty much myself now; there is no danger of my showing the white feather again. If you are in trouble or distress, a line to the address on this card will bring me to you at any time. In this house there are certain hiding places where I could secrete myself without anybody being the wiser, but we need not go into that. Now perhaps you had better return to the house or you may be missed. Goodnight, Vera. You cannot tell how wonderfully helpful your sympathy has been to me." He was gone a moment later, and Vera returned slowly and thoughtfully to the house. The place was perfectly quiet now; the billiard room door wos open, and Vera could see that the apartment was deserted. Apparently the household had retired to rest, though it seemed to be nobody's business to fasten up the doors. Most of the lights were out, for it was getting very late now, so that there was nothing for it but for Vera to go up the stairs to her own room. She hnd hurdly reached the landing when a door halfway down burst open, and Fenwick stood there shouting at the top of his voice for such of his satellites as he mentioned by name. He seemed to be almost beside himself with passion, though at the same time his face was pallid with a deadly fear. He held a small object, in his hand, which he appeared to regard with disgust and loathing. "Why don't some of you come out?" he yelled. "You drunken dogs, where have you all got to? Let the man come out who hus played this trick on me, and I'll break every bone in his body." One or two heads emerged, ond presently a little group stood round the enraged und affrighted Fenwick. ' Standing in a doorway. Vera could hear every word that passed. , "I locked my door after dinner," Fenwick said. "It is a patent lock, no key but mine will fit it. When I go to bed I find this thing lying on the dressing table." "Another of the fingers," a voice cried. "The third finger. Are you sure you locked your door?" "I'll sweor it," Fenwick yelled, "And if one of vou—but of course it can't bc one of you. There is no getting rid of this occursed thing. And when the last one comes " Fenwick stopped os if something had choked him. she hod dropped it. She could afford to wait on events now; she could possess her soul in patience till the hour ond the man came together. Somewhat to her relief. Fenwick did not appear at breakfast, so that for once, she could partake of the meol in comporative comfort. Swaggering up and down the terrace outside, with o large cigar in his mouth, wus the man who called himself Blossett. He had the air of one who is waiting for something; possibly he was waiting for the parcel which had been the cause of lost night's disturbance in the billiard room. Anyway, Vero noticed that Fenwick was very busy up and downstairs and that all his parasites had gathered in the little room at the end of the corridor. For the present at nnyl est mistress io write. Are you mad rute Vera's curiosity was satisfied. She had no intention of running any more risks and ns soon as she had finished her breakfast she went out into the grounds with no intention of returning before lunch. She made her way across the wood which led to the high rood on the possible chnnce of meeting Gerald. It wos not Gernld, however, but the thin, I • 7 apronching footsteps. Almost immediately the big form of Fenwick loomed in the opening, and a hoarse voice asked if somebody was there: Zary stepped out again and confronted Fenwick, who started back as if the slim black apparition had been a ghost. "You here!" he stammered. "I did not expect to see you—I came here prepored to find somebody quite different." "It matters litfle whom you came to find," Zary said. "The message sent to bring you here wos merely a ruse of mine. Murderer and trencher- ous dog thnt you are, so you thought to get me here in the house among your hired assassins by means of the letter which you compelled my dear that you should pit your wits against mine?" "1 am ns good ns you," Fenwick said, bnnnlly. "Oh, you rave," Znry went on. "I nm the heir of the ages. A thousand years of culture, of research, of peeps behind the veil, have gone to mnke tne what I nm. Your scientists and occult researchers think they hove CHAPTER XXII.

Not one of them had the slightest advice to offer, not j i','v "iYpii'rt The Stooal one of them hut felt thut Fenwick's time was close at bund. Every mnn there knew hy heart the strange story of the Fount- Finger Mine nnd of the vengeance which had overtaken the Dutchman. The same unseen vengeance was very near Fenwick now; he hnd hail his three warnings nnd (here wns hut one more tn come before the final nuie nf tragedy was struck. Must uf them lodged with dated lusolnntlon at the mutilated left hand uf their chief. "How dial you lose ynur?" some- laaniy whispered. "Don't ask me," Fenwick snid. hoarsely, "I break into a cold sweat whenever I think uf it. Ilut why don't yuu do whnt I tell you? Why donjt you lind Zary? Find him out and bring him down here, nnd then I enn laugh nt ihe vengeance of the Four Finger. But. I hove my plans laid, nnd I shnll know how tn net when th,. time comes. Now you nil get off tu bed ngnin and forget all my foolishness. I suppose I was startled by seeing thnt accursed thing lying on my table and lost my nerve." The little group melted away, and once more the house became silent. When morning came there wns no sign or suggestion of the strange events of the night hefore. For the first time for ninny months Vera felt comparatively hnppy. She fell, ton, tbnt nt Inst she wns reaping the reward of nil her self-sncrificc, und wns approaching the time when she would be able to throw off the yoke nnd take up her life nt the point where cadaverous form of Felix Znry who | discovered much, but, compered with ndvanced from the deepest pnrt of the copse to meet her. He advanced townrds the girl und in a grnve, respectful wuy lifted her hnnd to his lips. "You hnd not expected me, dear lndy," he snid. "Well, no, Felix," Vern snid. "Though I nm not in the least surprised. I suppose Mr. Venner hns been to see you nnd hns explained to you the meaning of thnt sheet of blnnk pnper whicli reeched you in nn envelope bearing my handwriting." "I hnve seen Mr. Venner, deer lndy," ZHry replied, "nnd he explained to me. I did not suspect— if I hnd received your letter I should hnve come to you at once—I believe I would coine beyond the grnve at the coll of one bearing the Moved nnme Le Fenu. There is nothing I would not do for you. At this moment I owe my life to your resourcefulness nnd cournge. Hnd I come in response to your letter I should never hnve left the house alive. Fenwick would hnve murdered me, nnd the vengeonce of the four fingers would hnve been lost." "Why should it not be?" Vern snid with a shudder. "Why extrnct blood for blood in this fashion? Cnn all your revenge bring my dear fnther back to life ngnin? And yet the vengeance drnws nenrer nnd nearer, as I know. I saw Mark Fenwick Inst night nfter he hnd received the third of those drendful messoges, nnd he wns frightened to the depths of his soul. Let me imploce you not to go nny further " "It is not for me to sny yes or no," Znry replied in the snme quiet, silky mnnner. It seemed nlmost impossi- hle to identify this mnn with murder nnd outrage. "Denr lndy, I nm but nn instrument. I can only follow the dictates of my instinct. I cannot get awny from the trndit'ions of the tribe to which I belong. For two yenrs now I hove been a wanderer on the fnce of the enrth; I hnve been in mnny stmnge cities nnd seen many strange things; with the occult science thnt I inherited from my nn- cestors, the Aztecs, I have enrned my daily brend. I nm whnt some cell a medium, some call n conjurer, some n chnrlntan nnd a qunck. It is nil the seme whnt they cnll me, so long ns I hnve the knowledge. For gener- ntions the vengeance of the Four Fingers has descended upon those who violnte the secret of the mine, nnd so it must he to the end of time. If I did not obey the voice within me. if I refused to recognise the forms of my nncestors ns they come to me in drenms, I should for ever nnd ever be a spirit wandering through spnee. Ah, denr lndy, there nre things you do not know; things, thnnk God, beyond your comprehension, so, therefore, do not interfere. Rest nssured thnt the thing is nbso- lute nnd inevitable." Znry spoke with n certain gentle inspiration ns if all this were pnrt of some ritual that he wns repenting Quiet, almost timid, ns h looked, Vem knew from pnst experience t'uit nn efforts nf hers could turn him from his intention.

Still. I have n right to know " "Denr lady, you have n right to know nothing," Znry snid. yet in n tone of deen humility. "Bui do not ha' afraid—the vengeance will not fnll yet, for nre not the warnings still incomplete? 1 will nFk you to leave me here nnd go ynur wny." There wns nothing for it hut to obey nnd Vern pnssed slowly through the wood in the direction of the high rond. A strange weird smile flickered ahout the corner of Zory's mouth as he stood there still nnd motionless like some hlaek statue. His lips nioved but no words come from them —he appeared to he uttering something thnt might hnve pnssed for n silent pmyer. He took a buttered goM wnlch from his pocket and consulted it with nn nir of grim sutis- fnction. Then, suddenly, he drew behind n thicket of undergrowth, for his quick enr« detected the sound of me, they are but as children ergu. ing with sages.

The Dutchmnn is no more, his foul wretch of n wife died, n poor wreck of n woman, bereft of sense nnd renson." "Thnt is fine tnlk," Fenwick stnm- mered. "Whnt hnve you against me thnt you should threaten me like this?" Znry rnised his hnnd nloft with drumntic gesture; his grent round eyes were filled with n luminous fire "Listen," he snid. "Listen nnd heed. I am the lest of my race, a race which hns been persecuted "by the nlien nnd interloper for the Inst three centuries. Time was when we were n grent nnd powerful people.

It wns becnuse he refused to shnre it with you that you nnd the Dutchmnn, with tile nid of his foul wife, killed him." "It's a lie," Fenwick stammered. "George Le Fenu suffered at my hands. It was the young man Evors." "It is false," Znry thundered. His eyes were dmk nnd in n sudden flood of fury he reached out a long thin hnnd and clutched Fenwick by the collar.

Agricultural Labor is Not So Well Paid in the United States In adopting Reciprocity with the United States, Canada would enter into an unequal and unfair competition in farm labor. Senator Stone of Missouri, spoke ut Washington the other day on tlfis phase of the agreement, und showed that farm labor was cheaper ia the States thun in Canada. The Brooklyn Times, commenting on this speech as follows, shows how foolish it would be for the Canuck to try to compete with chenp Yankee labor — "It has lieen generally assumed thnl farm wages paid on the American side of the line were higher than those paid in Canada, nnd that therefore the advantages of free entry for Cnnadian form products conceded by the proposed reciprocal ngreeinent meant a decided advantage to the Canadian fnrmer at the expense of his Americnn competitor. But, according to Senator Stone of Missouri, who in his speech quoted libernlly from American official figures, the boot is on the other leg. The Missouri Senator demonstrated that the Canadian furmers really pay more for their farm labor than we pay on the United Stntes side of the line, nnd tbat if anybody hns cnuse to fear disaster from reciprocity it is the Canndinn nnd not tlie American. It is the Canuck who has cause to dread the competition of cheap Yankee labor, ond not the bloated plutocrat of American farms." Ingenious Etymology. In an article in The Nineteenth Century the R»v.

A fnrmer once meeting him in a public house challenged him to deriv aiis own name, which was Jeremiah King, fmm cucumber. The farmer tbuught he had "stumped" the scholar, but Porson unmedia_ely accepted and won the challenge. "Jerem.ah King." he began, "Jere- my King. Jerry King, Jerrykin, l»r- Kin, Gherkin," Porson triumphantly concluded, "which is a cucumber." About the Second Week "Do you think you'll like your new- home when you get settled?" "No, we never do.

Sir John Malcolm, the first chairman of the Oriental Club, was a greut talker and had been nicknamed "Ba. hawder Jaw"—it was said by Canning. It was a family tailing, as we learn Irom Mr. Ralph Neville's "London Clubs." "There were ten Malcolm brothers, two pf them admirals. All ten seem to have possessed the same characteristic, lor when Lord Wellesley was assured by Sir John that he and three brothers had once met together in India the Governor-General declared it to be 'impossible—quite impossible!' Malcolm reiterated his statesment. "I repeat it is impossible. If four Malcolms had come together we should have heard the noise all over India'." Sunday In Old Scotland. Looking out of the window used to be an indictable offence on the Sabbath, The London Chronicle says. In ITtJ the kirk session ol Edinburgh, "taking into consideration that the Lord's day is profaned by people standing in the streets, vncuing in the fields and gardens, as alio hy idly gating out of windows, it is ordered that each session take its turn to watch the streets on Sabbath aud tn visit each suspected huu<e in each parish by elders and descons with beadle and officers and alter sermni when the day is lung, to pass thrnuwn the streets and to reprove sucli a.' transgress and inlorm uu such as .ia. not refrain."

He voted against the government'! naval policy, in favor of granting the Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern railway an extens on of time in which to complete its line to the coant, and assisted in forcing an elec tion before redistribution. That's bis record, in brief, in the house. If he can gain bis re-election on that 'showing we mistake the temper of the electors. Recikhooity will give employment to a greater number of men through the general increase of business and the establishment of new industries. While the Tory papers of this province are shedding crocodile tear* in their editorial columns because, as they assert, reciprocity will ruin the fruit-growing industry, their news columns convey the information that Wenatehee and other fruit growing districts in Washington are at present swarming with fruit buyers from the big eastern cities of the United Slates. With reciproci ty, these buyers would give the British Columbia fruit the preference, because we grow a superior quality of fruit on tbis side of tbe line. Reciprocity will benefit the iimnu- fucc-urer through the general impetus taa business and not jeopardize the protection he now enjoys. SoMB of the local Tories arc rather inconsistent when thev assert thnt the Canadian people will be sandbagged by they American trusts in the event reciprocity carries. The trusts are the allies of the eastern Tories, and our Conservative friends in this city should have a deeper reverence for tbem tlmn to intimate thnt tbey would be guilty of sand- bugging anyone. But wbile saml- baajging is the topic, we wish to RecipOCITY will open a market for British Columbia fish.

Reciprocity will give u larger market fair farm produce.

Reciprocity will inciease the trade of Camla. , Laurier and larger markets. MacDonald and a government mem ber in parliament. Reciprocity will benefit the consumer. Hon. Rii'hahd McBride Is talking wildly at the coast when he couples reciprocity with the diis- membermeut of tbe empire. Between 1654 and 1856 Canada had a reciprocity treaty with the United States, and those familiar with Canadian history know that the bene fits were twenty to one in favor of this country. There was no danger at that lime of the United Stales annexing Canada, and there will be none when the present treaty is rali- tied, because the country has gained considerable strength since 1*356. Reciprocity will lessen the cost of living. When the McBride-Bowser machine disposed of millions of acres of British Columbia timber aud agricultural lands to American capitalists there was not the slightest danger of the dismemberment of the empire. It is only when the poor consumer wants thc taxes on the necessaries of life reduced Unit this crisis arises. (Note—This item is supposed to sarcastic.) A vote for Ma for Reciprocity.

We had been worrying about what Mr. Borden could promise and the Free I'reus suggests that he could promise to buld a whole navy at this point. That ought to carry an election with all the ultra-loyal people we have iu Victoria They would uo doubt feel safe as soon as Mr. Borden makes the promise. But in all fairness to Mr. Borden he should not be placed in such a posi tion again as to have to say on the floor of the house, "1 never *eiit such a telegram."—Victoria Times. In selecting Dr. K. C. MacDonald as their candidate, the Liberals of Yale-Cariboo have put in the Held the strongest man available, one who would bo a strong candidate in any constituency.

Thu Conseratives never made n greater mistake, So far from there being any dissention, the Liberals of Yale- Cariboo are united today as they have not been for years. Yesterday's convention was the most harmonious political gathering ever held in the constituency. Eaoh cundidate for the nomination recognised the worth and claims of the others, and tho contest was conducted with the best possible feeling on nil sides and with the utmost friendliness. The result, the nomination of Dr. MacDonald, was acceptable to every delegate at the convention and will be equally acceptable to every Liberal throughout the huge district of Yale-Cariboo. It now behooves evory good Liberal and every supporter of reciprocity to set to work in earnest to secure hia election.—Kamloops Sentinel. The British preference was the first tangible cementing of the empire ever done in Canada. Tbe Liberals did it and the ultra-loyal Tories opposed it. Calgary Albertan, Nothing could be more clearly emphasized bv the Conservative party than its inalienable affection for the policy of high protection. While a thousand expedients are resorted to in order to defeat reciprocity, what is really aimed at is the stiffening of th present tarill'on imports coming into Canada and the maintenance of the blockade tariff against exports of the wheat, fruit, lumber, fish, minn-nl and other products of the Dominion. No one could be more emphatic in frank declaration of this policy than Premier McBride, who, after denouncing an open market us dangerous to the country, said: "We can play the game of Uncle Sam and raise our tariff still higher. ' There ean be no doubt that a' vote for a Conservative will be a vote for still more costly foodstuffs, and a vote for a Liberal will mean freer trade and the cheapening of food.—Victoria Times. In this election campaign the Liberal coat is going to be washed with some very hard soap, but the color is not going to fade. After the election it 11 still be Grit in tint.a good honest, old fashioned shade. The ai- will presently be full of the smoke of battle and lauguvge of a picturesque tone, aud the fighting will be severe, but the result will be tho same. Sir Wilfrid is sure of victory, but Mr. Borden is equally sure, of course. According to the extreme papers on both sides, neither side can lose. The Tory papers are already weakening a little, ami are saying now they fear that there are thousands of electors who have not sufficient moral courage to vote against reciprocity. Mr. Borden and his janizaries have started out on a campaign of fake statements, which, opposed to tho wholesome truths of the Liberals, cannot be effective.

Quaar Russian Sact Which Haa Become Canadianized. The Doukhobor women have been reclaimed Irom the plow. No lunger do they sweat in the fields ol Canada instead of horses. Even as their men are ceasing to be the wild wanderers and lanatical spirit-wrest- lers they were when they appeared in the iiortluvest several years ago, so l... new world's environment.! hav-- drawn the women back from the brute level, to which they had beeu degraded, to the home, with its cooking, its spinning and its weaving — old-time tasks, it is true, but tasks adjusted lo Miwr strength. The melting pot of this western world has recast even the Doukhobors. The colony boasts of a substantial schooluouse. Doukhobor teachers wen educated in the schools and returned to impart the knowledge to their fellow-colonists. Ridiculed by Canada the Doukhobors pilgrimages in the dead of winter, through snow-covered roads to meet their "Christ," made them the laughing stock of the country. But those crudities are things of the past; they have become Canadianized in the true sense of the word. There are two colonies ol Doukhobors in Canada — Yorkton, containing 7.000 members, and Koathoru, with 1,500. The Doukhobors now use horses. Formerly ttiey believed tt was unscrip- tural to work these animals and the women instead acted as beasts of burden. Eighteen of them were generally neeueu to take the place of a team. The women now are engaged in the Uumesuc arts and are .iiajjUitiee.it em- broiderers. Tae farmers are becoming prosperous and many of them have the latest funning machinery and the bust ol live slock. Tneir objections to the use ol animals as servants of man have beeu overcome.

VEALED ITS SECRET AT LAST. Tha Inscrutable Head That Haa Gaiad Out Over tha Daaart la Said by Profeaaor Ralanar to Ba tha Gigantic Statue of Cephren Who Built tha Qreatest ef tha Pyramid) —Yieldi Rich Treasures. What man or woman is thera among us "ho has not heard of the Sphinx? What traveler in Egypt, that land of fascination, «hrouded in mystery and majestic calm, who hai voluntarily mi.-sed paying a visit tc the mighty stone image which for centuries has defied all effort" to lift the veil concealing its origin and symbolism. For hundreds of years it has kept its motionless watch in the desert, striking a chill into the heart. of all who see it. It seemed a great mocking thing of stone set up to teach man the lesson of his own impotence and fraility mocking at the fruitless efforts of puny mortals to read Ita secret, certain in the knowl. edge that it was safe. Ana now tht man is with us who claims to have accomplished what all hit precursor; throughout the centuries have failed to do—to have read the riddle of the Sphinx. The archaeologist! of to-day. of course, claim that Professor Retainer's solution is just what they themselves expected, nothing startling, nothing particularly original; but archaeologists are like the rest of humanity in most vital respects, and they have learnt the wisdom cl saying. "I told you so." Authorities have held widely divergent views as to the date of the carving of the image; by some it is allotted to the period hefore the fourth dynasty, in which the Second Pyramid was built; whilst by a majority of others it is credited to later times, owing to the more frequent appearance of .-.phinxes at a later date. Professor Reisner has discovered the statue of the builder of the Third Pyramid which also owes its origin to the fourth dynasty, and his headdress is in every respect similar to that of the Sphinx. Since this particular form of head-dress doea not appear anywhere else, the two obviously synchronise. Thus it is prov. ed that the Sphinx is the effigy ol Cephren, son of Cheops, who built himself the first Mid greatest pyramid of the three tombs. The intention in placing the head of the king on Ihe body of a lion ia to convey the idea of the monarch trampling down hia foe* Aker, the watchman of the nether, world and guardian of Ra. the sun- god, ia frequently depicted as a aphinx, as, indeed, ia Ra himself wh#n he goes forth to war. That explains the fact of tha Sphinx being face to face with the rising sun. The peculiar duty of sphinxes is to guard tombs from desecration at the hands of the stranger, so that its position with regard to the pyramid is accounted for. And it is strange how that lifeless thing of cold stone doe; trouble the minds of those who venture near. You who havo caaad al the immobile features of that mighty countenance, which yet has such a strikingly searching and awe-inspiring effect, will realize what I mean. The lB-t strong proof th » the 8phim is representative of Cephren Prof. Reisner came across during excavations around the Third Pyramid, for he, as stated, discovered the statue of Mycerinus, builder of the same. Tt ia probable that this Mycerinus was a nephew of Cephren. In 1903 three professors. Steindorff, Echiaprelli. and Reisner, were allowed to inve.-tigate at Oizeh. Schiap- relli took the First Pyramid, Stein- dorff the Second. Reisner the Third, which waa productive oi most interest. The last named professor first turnej his attention tn the great cemetery west of the First Pyramii. which had been divided between the three of them, his particular portion being the northerly. Hei» he unearthed the tombs of mnny of ths eons and daughters of Cl.eops and other matters of interest, his chi.'l work in this direction being the identification of the royal cemetery ol Cephren. near the Second Pyramid. In 1(106 and 1007 the excavation el the Pyramid Temnle of Mycerinus waa undertaken. Here was discovered a magnificent alabaster statue ol Mycerinus, nf which the head was outside the temple, so close to the ftirft.ee that a tourist's stick or umbrella might have given away it) whereabout. In 1908, while searching for thf valley temple of the Third Pyramid —for the Germans had previously discovered a valley temple to a pyramid of later date, proving that the Sphinx Temple was the valley temple of the Second Pyramid—a l.iud-brick building was discovered, and therein were disclosed a number of priceless treasures. In 1910 was found a beautiful pair statue, in dark si te, of Mycerinus and his queen, which was al. most incredibly well preserved and had passed throutrh the centuries undiscovered with only a stone between it and thn light of day. Three temples in all were found, one by Mycerinus, one hy his son Sltepseshaf, both unfinished, and one hy Pepy II. of the sixth dynasty. T'nfortunately in an article of thii kind, one ean only touch lightly on this enthralling subject. The great point is, however, that prool is given of Ihe fact that the statues discovered Ste of lhe fourth dvnastv pvramid* nad valley temples. Therefore the great Sphinx Temple is th" valley temple of the Second Pyramid, the tomb of Cephren. Moreover, the dispute aa to the date of the great diorite statue of Cephren and of the Sphinx itself was finally settled, for exactly the characteristics of the Cephren statue and the Sphinx which were supposed to be of later date were found in the newly unearthed statues.

Her mornings are generally taken up with attending to the voluminous correspondence that arrives by every poet. Her secretary and lady in waiting aubmit their letters and the Queen gives instructions concerning them. According to The North American Review ahe quickly grasps the main issue of a question and soon make* up her mind. i" She haa never bean known to la. aside a matter on the ground that to express an opinion thereon is irksome or difficult. But should any letter require further conaideration it is held over for a day, when a decision ie given and aimoat invariably adhered to. Every consideration ia shown to those privileged to eerve the Queen, and before signifying ber pleasure as to the personal attendance of mem- bera of her houshold ahe will often inquire whether they may not hav some other engagement the breaking of which would be inconvenient ta. them. Busy though the Queen ia—and one who haa known her for 20 years has never aeen her unoccupied—she is intimately acquainted with and taker part in all that relates to the management of the household. Every Ber. vant is known to bar, and their conduct is as much a matter of concern to their royal miatnaa aa that of any one else. In fact no detail of life wearies the Queen, hence the reason that her sympathies an wide and all her days full of work. A Plucky Actor. It waa Mr. Laurence Irving, who is appearing with sueh success at the Garrick Theatre, London, in "The Unwritten Law," who created a sensation in New York at the beginning of thia year by making a speech front the stage dealing with the unfairness of dramatic critica, and aome time previously he waa called to account by experts lor saying that the publi- did not want genuine drama. "If actors only aimed low enough," he sail, "sprinkled their plays with innuendoes, and smeared them over with gore, they would find a large public at their back." By the way, Mr. Irving, who, of course, is the younger eon of Uie late Sir Henry Irving, strongly objects to being boomed as the ton of that famous actor. "The fact ia one of which I am so very proud," he saya, "that I could onl> think poorly of a (on who allowed his father's name to ba used aa a box- office appendage to himeelf."

The Last Resource of the Litigant ... Great Britain. A noble chamber, aglow with gold and a riot of richly-blended color; light streaming throush painted glasi on paneiled walls hlar.ing with armorial shields, on tiers of crimson benches, on rich oak carvings, fres- eoes and statues, anc" on a gorgeoua canopied throne. And in this environment of color and splendor a handful nf elderly lentlemen, one bewigged. the others in morntne-dress. seated before tnhles- littered with papers; facing them a fringe of unimposing lawyers and litigants standing behind a low partition of oak. The silence broken only by the low-pitched monotone of a counsel, as if engaged ln a confidential chat with hi) seared elders. Such is England's Supreme Court of Appeal, the most august tribunal in the land, the final refuge of the disappointed litigant. And such ia the quaint spectacle which yon may see if you care to drop into the House of Lords on any one of four days a week during term-time. The tribunal is probably the most remarkable in the world. Unlike any other court, it opena daily with prayer, to which not even the chief law-officer of the crown may be present to say "Amen." Shortly before half-past ten 'he Lord Chancellor enters the empty chamber if the peers, in all hla i -noply of flow- Ing wig and robe, herilded by the Sergeant-st-Arms holding his mace aloft, and followed by the bearer of his purse—a richly-embroidered satchel, which ought to, but does not, contain the Great Seal; and in his wake follow the Law Lords in every day garb, the Yeoman Usher, and a clerk of the House. These and no others. After prayers, his lordship leavea the Woolsack and takes hia seat before a scarlet-covered table in the centre of the floor; the Law Lords, without even a wig among tbem, seat themselves on one flank, on * front bench, each before his table. "Call in the parties in the case," the summons goes forth. The doors are flung open, and through them streams a motley crowd of bewigged counsel, solicitors, litigants, and a meagre sprinkling of the curious or interested public. There is no examining cr cross- examining of witnesses; no legal quibbling or rparring. The case reus entirely between counsel and judges; J and no more than two men of wig' can speak for each party to the case. When counsel have said their last word, no judgment follows at once. Their leisurely lordships require time to weigh well the points raised, and weeks may elapse before the final fiat is given. When this day arrives, counsel and litigants are summoned to the Bar again. The Chancellor, this time throned on his Woolsack, reada his , own solemn pronouncement. The i Law Lord) follow with theirs, each in turn. The question is th<*n formally put that the appeal he dismissed or confirmed. "Content" or "not content" is spoken by each lord, according to his own views; and the voice of the majority finally determine the issue. Before an appeal can lie heard, tha appellant must pledge himself to the amount of £900 as security for costs, and provide a surety for £250. He must present a humble petition, engrossed on parchment, and supported by two counsel; and must also provide fifty printed copies of hi) case, of which ten are bound in cloth of purple, for the use of the Law Lords; and, if the appeal goes again.t him, he must pay the respondent'a costs. Bank Holidays. Sir John Lubbock, now Lord Ave- bury, who founded those popular institutions, explains why Bank Holidays are so called. The reason is somewhat technical. It is generally known that the payer of a bill in England gets three days' grace, so that a bill coming due nominally nn the first of the month is not really payable till three days later. If, however, the third day happened to be a Sunday, Christmas Day. or Good Friday, it is stipulated that payment be mnde the day before. After some ca insider a- tion, it was determined to allow pay- ment on the day following, in place 'il the day before, the Sunday, Christ- | mas Day, or Good Friday, and "Bank 1 aladtiy" was the name given in Eng- a land to the new day ol grace. j A CHAMPION MURDERESS. Canada's Annals Contain a Record- Breaking Caaa. Gory pamphlets used to be issued 'after executions not only in tbis country, but in England. In London there were printing shops which produced nothing but horrible booklets treating of murders and hangings. Tbe; enjoyed a tremendous sale and were bought by all classes of people. Une of the most expensive of these pamphlets extant is a book of 32 pages, describing the iniquitous career and tragic end of Sophia Hamilton, who waa sentenced to death at Fredericton, N.B., in 1845, for an almost incredible series of crimes. And ii tbe story contained in the pamphlet is true she was entitled to the championship as a murderess. The achievements of Kate Bender and Belle Uunuess were trivial by comparison. Une may speak flippantly now of her career, since all concerned are in their graves, but the people of New Brunswick, sixty years ago, mentioned her name with shuddering). Her father was a murderer before her, and was killed by a dog belonging to one of his victims. Sophia, when 17 years of age, married, an excellent young man, who relused to believe stories he heard reflecting upon ber character. After being married awhile he was convinced that the stories were true, and took his young wife to task, which proved so embarrassing to ber that she placed poison in his soup, and he died tbe death. Then she established a wayside inn near Woodstock, N. B., gathered about her a corps of skillful homicidal experts and took up murder and'robbery as her life work. She had the house remodeled to facilitate hu work and there were rooms with trapdoors in the floor, and sliding panels in the walls, and similar contrivances. Her cellar became a morgue. At first she buried her victims carefully, but as time went on and business increased she became rather careless and just left them lying around. There was much traffic along the quiet road where her inn stood. The banking facilities of that time were not as they now are. and some of the travelers on their way to buy furs or lumber or other merchandise carried large sums of money. Sophia easily picked out such travelers when they stopped at her cozy caravansary, and made herself agreeable to them and treated them to wine whi:h she had drugged with much skill, and then the travelers vanished fr .m the face of the earth. .e did not always kill them in the inn. however. She was a woman of resources. Two gentlemeu Irom Quebec who were on a fur buying expedition visited the inn, and Sophia soon learned that they had a large sum of money in gold. She was hoping they would stay lor the night, but they had an unreasonable desire to push on and started away in their sled. Sophia, seeing they could not be detained, seat a couple of her deputies up the road to waylay them. The deputies stretched a rope across the road, and when the travelers horse ran into it the murderers did their work, and Sophia came up just in time to see the victims die and relieve them of 110.000 in gold. Upon another occasion she waited upon a guest at the breakfast table with her own (air hands, and took occasion to stab him in the back while he was commenting upon tbe excellence ol the coffee. Finally Sophia was arrested for the murder of a Quaker, whose body waa found in hei cellar. Sbe was tried at Fredericton and sentenced to death, but some of h:*r friends managed to convey poison to her a few days beiore the date set for the banging and she uied in her cell. LISZT ASM IDOL The Great Musician Was Petted by English Royalty. A SOUVENIR OF THE MASTER. Thistles. In the lourteenl a century thistles were used as food for rattle, nud they were considered as a crop. In tbe old priory of Lindisfarne there Is a note in the arehi.es of 1344-5 of tbick leather gloves required lor the harvesters ol the thistle crop. It is curious that, though the thistle is the emblem of Scotland, the Scot never seems able to say which kind ot thistle Is the true national emblem. It is said that a thistle which resembles Carduus tnarianus was figured on the old coinage ol the day of James V., who was first to put thistles on the Scotch money. The horn spoons sold in Edinburgh sometimes have little silver thistles ou the end of tbe handles. Monaco. Tbe tiny prlnaiimlity of Monaco comprise* pistil ai|iiiire miles ... territory.

That artists as a class are somewhat inclined to be degenerate ia a widely- held notion, but it would seem to be disproved by a funny little incident that took place a lew days ago. Arthur H.'iuing, the well-known Canadian artist, recently went to New York to invite American artists to exhibit at this year's Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. Gardner bymoni, who has a high standing aiuuiig American artists, asked out to dinner Heuiing and also Frederick Waugii, another noted artist. "Let's go do..*i and have a cocktail before lunch," said byiuoua, when the Uiree hud got together at tne club. ' a never take anything," said Hem- ing, when the wai.Vr had been called. "Neither do 1," said Waugh. Syinons laughed. "That's funny." he said. "Neither do 1, but anyway we'll nave some cigars." A box of strong cigars and one of mild ones were brought. "I don't smoke," said Waugh when aaked to have a e.g.-.r. "Aud 1 don't -niiisc," said Heming. "Well, tins is a great joke," aaid Symous. "1 dun't smoke either, but 1 thought you fellows would at least tal. • a cigar. Say, you eat, don't you? —because I've ordered lunch." Trial by Cembat.

Tha Singular Memento That Waa Sacredly and Secretly Traaaured by a Cold, Rigid and Rather Disagreeable Old Englishwoman. "When I waa a very small boy Indeed," writes ford M.

Upon the platform was a grand piano.
