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. Somebody sbould inquire

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

and appreciative audience at the

"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

age, captured the hearts of the audi

good fortune to be present.

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.

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

with water, the evaporation will cool

they can easily plant and maintain

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. Last year the first buttercups were picked here in bloom on
February 2.1, and the year before ou

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

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

only a few letters opposing it. He
said he saw dangeis in reciprocity, but

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

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

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,

approaching the time when she would
be able to throw off the yoke nnd
take up her life nt the point where

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

absolutely the Inst nf his rnoe. There

"Very well, she snid, "I see thnl

"Denr lady, you have n right to

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

message thnt you should get your nf-

"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.

Four Fingers mine. It wns becnuse he
refused to shnre it with you that you

Many interesting facts concerning a
famous coterie ol literary and artistic
uohemians, including Millet. Whistler, Burne-Jones, ant Millais, are related by Mr. T, Armstrong. C.B., in
iteminiscences ol George du Maurier":
"Millais wa- conspicuous from his
stature and hi- handsome head, as
w i his brother William, whose pretence was nuch prued on account ol
n.i beautiful tenor voice. There was
something ve strange about the like-
ue_ i ol William to'his brother John,
whose fine, handsome, and engaging
presence is stih remembered. I should
never have guessed th.it Sir John
ad any Jewish ancestor, but he told
Du Maurier that he had; in his brolh-
er William 1 should hnve recognued
t..e Eastern type at once. The broth
(••s admiration of each other was
amusing and sometimes touching
Hive you heard my brother Bill
sing? John would say, 'He is the
finest tenor you ever heard; his voice
is far finer tha . Glajlini's'. Giufclini
was the great tenor opera-singer ol
Ue day. At the time ol sending in
t I pictures to the Royal Academy
xhibition William would go about
saying, 'Have you seen Jack's pictures
this year? Finest things ever done.'
"One Sunday afternoon the conversation at the Pr;ory — the home ol
v eorge Eliot—turned on Disraeli, and
what was called his want of siucer-
a.. Browning told us how, at the
recent Royal Academy banquet, Disraeli, in his speech, hnd snid that,
•however much the English school of
painting might be defective in technical skill, it had, at any rate, that high
i .aginative quality which in art is
beyond and above all others.' Brown-
.ng added thst on a former occasion,
st an Academy dinner, a speech had
been made by Disraeli which contain-
• a passage to the same effect. Alter
dinner, the speechmaking being ovei
n.d the guests strolling about the
galleries looking at the pictures, as
was the custom, the poet came upnn
th i Prime Alinister, shuffling abnui
with the gnit those who snw h.m
must remember very well. Disrneli
took Browning's arm, and, walking
along with a glnnce now and then
at the walls, exclaimed:
"'Tut! Tutl Not a single picture

Gags, With and Without.
I'Oyly Jarte once produced "The
Gondoliers" at Windsor by command
of the late Queen Victoria. A finely
bound volume of the libretto hnd been
provided for the queen, who rplerred
to it frequently to keep abreast ol the
opera. When the curtain fell she sent
for D'Oyly Carte to express her approval and, having done so, remarked
that she bad noticed that some of the
actors had said things whicb were not
set. down in the book.
Mr. Carte explained that they were
"gags."
"Gags?" queried-the Queen in a puttied tone. "1 thought gags were
things put in a person's mouth by
authority."
"Not always," was the reply. "These
gags are wha. people put ia tbeir

The Mystic Seven
A certnin fond father sent his son to
the University of Pennsylvania last
fall. As a farewell piece of advice he
told the young man thnt "his success
wns almost assured, since both the
word success nnd your nnme contnin
seven letters." The midyenr examinations, however, proved to be his
doom, nnd he was compelled to return
home.
"Well," snid his father, "didn't
you keep in mind what I told you
about the seven letters?"
"I did that, fnther," answered the
boy, "but you must remember that
there are nlso seven letters in failure."—Philadelphia Times.

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."

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."

Noisy Malcolms.
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'."

Looking out of the window used to

it throws off gases causing pains aid op.

this. Simple directions go with each

The Human Eya and the Mystery ef

It la a curious fact tbat wbile there

—red, green and violet That la to say,
these three appear to be simple colon,

Red and green combine In certain proportions to produce yellow. In a different proportion the two produce orange. Again, green and violet combine
to produce blue. It la said all abadea

In keeping wltb this fact eome of|

FRIDAY, AUGUST *b,' 1911
When the Tory papers say that
Mr. Burrell has done his duty as
member for Yale-Cariboo; they
should enumerate some of the ser
vices he has rendered this constituency. 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.
Thk changing of four hundred
votes will turn Mr. Burrell's victory
of three years ago Into a. defeat on
the L'lst prox Those who are best
capable of judging public opinion
say that lhe Keltle Valley will BUp
ply about one-half of Ihe four hundred.
Reciprocity will give u larger market fair farm produce.
With a clean sweep in the prairie
provinces, substantial gains in Brit-
ish Columbia and Ontario, and Quebec and the Maritime provinces the
same as in the last election, there is
no danger of tbe government being
defeated.
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.)

The Ottawa Freo Press has given
the people of Victoria a valuable
pointer as to the likely substance of
the next forged telegram that is to be
sent in Mr. Borden's name pledging
something, "if elected," for this constituency. 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. II" ba* a pleasing personality, is a lighter from the ground
up, is well versed in public questions
both federal aitp prii.ini.-ial, and a,
brimful of energy and enthusiasm, It
will not Im his fault if he does not redeem Yalo-Cariboo, It 1ms been asserted that, partly because, perhaps,
there were seveial candidates seeking
the nomination, that the Liberals iif
Yale Cariboo are torn by dissention.
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. The
dishrag Tory papers all over the country are making the picturesque statement that after the 21s of September
the name of the Liberals will be mud,
but thev are using so much mud themselves faar ammunition that their

THE DOUKHOBOfcS.
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.

a fourposter."

Canada's Butter Trade
Canada's export trade in butter is
not so great at the present time that
her farmers cnn iiftord to imperil
their dairy industry by a tariff
scheme that would, in all probability, make the country's imports in
this article greater than her exports.
In the yeur ending 11)10 Canada shipped only 4,6I5,.'I80 pounds of butter,
worth $1,010,274. Canada'fl imports
of butter on the other hand, amounted to 687,454 pounds, worth $104,301.

BABY'S OWN TABLETS
CURE SUMMER COMPLAINT
Baby's Own Tablets should be kept
in every home where there are babies
or young children. At no time of the
year is baby in such danger as in
summer. At the first sign of illness
tlie Tablets, should be given to the
little one, for summer complaints
come on so quickly that unless
prompt aid is at hand baby may be
beyond help ill a few hours. Thc Tablets never fail to relieve the sick
child, and if occasionally given to
the well child will keep him well.
Mrs. Desire Martin, St. Denis, Que,
writes: "1 have a baby three months
old who suffered from colic and constipation. Castor Oil was of no help

IS MYSTERY SOLVED?
THE SPHINX MAY HAVE RE.
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.

Busy Quean Mary,
In buaineea matters Queen Mary in
clear and expeditious, methodical
and systematic. 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

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."
World'a Greateet Bridge-Builder.
Starting lite in a cotton-mill at nine
years of age, Sir William Arrol. who
was recently married for the third
time, apprenticed himself to a black*
ainith, and it was tbe clang of the
anvil and the sight of the sparks
which inspired him with that love of
engineering which led him to become
the world's greateet bridge-builder.
Both the Forth and the Tay bridge)
were the result of his genius. He is
tlie hero of one of the greatest Parliamentary hustles on record. When he
was au M.P. he sat in the House all
day, traveled during the night to Ayrshire to marry Miss Hodgart, his second wife, and left Scotland in time
to vote for the Government on Mr.
Chamberlain's liscal proposals of 1906.

TO THE LTJRDS!
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.

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.

"Degenerate" Arista.
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."
