The Annual report of tire Department of Indian Affairs for the year ended 30th June,,'lS������4, has been received. "We,have looked it over carefully Ui see if any reference is made to Indian affairs in West Kootenay. Tt would presumably appear in the report of ll. L. T. Galbraith, who is the Indian A- gent at Fort Steele,'the territory covered hy him being called tlie "Kootenay Agency," including both East and West'Kootenay. The .shooting afhiir between Sam. Hill and J' Cultus Jim " took place on the llth day of 31ay, agent Galbraith's report was dated July 25th, and brought down to June 30, the end of the fiscal year, but 'it contains no mention whatever of this trouble ; and West Kootenay even is named ��������� but once, which occurs, in an expression of regret that the Flat Bow fr-ibe. of Indians had lost their-crops "as thoy would have had a'good', market for their potatoes amongst the mining' towns of West Kootenay." No regret is expressed that the white. Canadian farmers of Arrow Lake at Galena Bay were prevented from raising a crop to supply this same demand, by. a foreign tribe of Indians who tried to enforce by rifles their pretended claim to the land which these .white settlers,had bought of the Provincial Government. , It seems very strange that a situation so ominous of future,, trouble, should re- .ceive no mention in the annual report of, the Indian Agent of West "Koote- 'nay. Does not the person who* has charge of the, "Kootenay 1A'gem,y," have jurisdiction over all Indians, ei-' ther' of Canadian or foreign tribes, whether permanently residing or .temporarily wandering within his1 territory 1 These and similar questions should perhaps be. addressed to the General Agent or, Superintendent of Indian Affairs for British Columbia residing at Victoria. /There should certainly be a conipet'entauthority to which appeal might be m;ide that would exercise the power to restrain and regulate if not exclude these Indian marauders.

The report that was in circulation some little time ago, that negotiations were in progress for "the lease of the Hevelstoke smelter to parties' in the States, proves to have been true. The property, is leased to a syndicate or firm in Chicago',' but nothing more than the hare fact is known here ' at, present. Who the parties are and what thoy propose to do towards utilizing the smelter for its legitimate purposes, will doubtless soon appear. , , The smelter without' much expense and with little loss of time can be put into good order for treating ore. ��������� The brick, if any are required, are un hand at the yard across the river- where they were manufactured, and the tools and other portable effects, including, belts, that have been disposed of, carried off," or become non-serviceable, can be replaced with little delay. The roaster, by using the brick aforesaid, can be made better than when originally constructed, and the sampling works can almost immediately be put into opera- 'tion. '������ When these preliminary .arrange-' ments-arc perfected, the necessary daily quantity of ore, which is 50 tons, can without doubt be secured, and the smelter kept in continuous operation after it is once blown in. Wc see passing through Revelstoke every day large quantities of ore of various grades, the larger portion being the wet or silver-lead ores, for the reduction of which tliis smelter was especially designed. And tho engines have power enough to run another stuck of equal capacity, making' a reduction of 100 tons of ore. Tn tho summer of 1S90, the smelting co. had plans and estimates made for a refinery in connection with the. smeller, but (he failure of Daring l.hos. for the time being badly demoralized Ijiiglish i-n.rncesand the refinery was not eiccled. , Another circuinstance, which changed tlie course of tIk: ^inciting in. was the townsile li tig. lion thai, involved tlie title lo the land conceded to it by the Dominion. The smelter was located on this land, and contracts for lots had been given, and first payments received from the buyers, and where would the co. stand in casethf: Provincial title given to f'arwcll slunild be sustained? in \ie\v of this, and all the possible involvements which niighl grow out of the sil nation, lhe, en. wont no farther in curving out their plans. Now, hnwe.ver, u sell lenient has been made between the Dominion and Province of the disputed land question, and it cannot be supposed that the large investment made by the smelter co. in the building of their works, amounting probably to ?50,000, will be allowed longer to remain idle and unproductive. , We see that other localities are aspiring to become smelting centres, and it i.s hoped they^w.il! succeed, for there is ore enough for all. J3ut' whether some oi these schemes are not the ingenious combinations of fact and fancy originated by townsite speculators' to boom the prices of lots or hold up 'declining values, remains to be seen.^ Dirt as we said before, there is ore enough for all, and Revelstoke will soon draw supplies from lllecillcwael and Rig Bend. MINING, TUNNELS.' Concerning licenses 'to run drains and tunnels,"the mineral act of 1891, as amended in 1S92 and 1893, section 59, reads as follows : . "Any free miner, beiifg tlie holder of a mineral claim or mine held as real estate, may, at the discretion of tlie Gold Commissioner, ohtain a license lo run a drain or- tnnnul, for drainage or any other purpose connected with the development or working of such claim or mine, thiough'any occupied or unoccupied lands, whether' mineral or otherwise, upon secuiity being first deposited or given to such Gobi Commissioner/to Iris satisfaction, for any damage that may'be done thereby, and upon such other terms as he shail deem expedient." "' We are informed that an, application has been made by the .owner of the Maple Leaf, at Illecillcwaet.ofora license to run a tunnel through,, the Lanark, an adjoining property,"for the legitimate purposes contemplated 'by the mineral act, and that the owner of the Maple Leaf will give the security 'which may ,be required by tho Gold' Commissioner, but the application has not yet been formally entertained. The language of the 'act is that the license" may in ,tile discretion of the .Gold Commissioner" be granted. ' ,But i>ve do not see how this '"discretion." can be rightly exercised, and certainly not adversely to the application, unle'ss,' a personal examination of the'properly, or a formal,inquiry into the circumstances, is made by the Commissioner, answering to the requirements of the law and its proper execution! TOMLINSON-VALENTINE. The marriage of Wm Tomlinson, of Vancouver, and Miss B. May Valentine of Revelstoke, took place at Lafayette, Oregon, on the 17th day, of April, 1895. The bridal couple arrived here on Sunday morning last, and were warmly received by their numerous friends. Mr. Tomlinson being employed in the C. P. li. service; and the bride having been for some years residing at the C. P. li. hotel) they were welcomed by the railway employes by the presentation of many valuable presents, among which the'most notable < wero a, nice large family bible and an elegant solid silver tea sett:, A reception was held at.,the home of the bride's parents on Wednesday 'evening, which was enjoyed by a large number of the friends of the happy couple. It is their intention to make,their home at Vancouver, to which city they will soon return. , .WAYS TO IMPROVE .THE TOWN. ��������� - . t 7 ' ���������- Now that the people of Revelstoke are relieved from the fear that * floods in the Columbia will .destroy their property,'they can turn their thoughts and energies towards improving the town in, many ways that have heretofore been overlooked or neglected. A great deal of dirt and refuse accumulate during tilts winter and remain concealed until the snow disappears. It is now plainly visible on the streets and alleys and iu the vicinity of business blocks and other buildings. (Jaie should at once be taken to" clean up these localities, and thusgive i he town a handsomer and more inviting appearance to the strangers who may p;iss through it or sojourn at oui' hotels. Each owner or tenant on the street should take pride in having his premises appear clean and , neat. Our town is judged of hy strangers very much by what they see we thtnlyof it ourselves, as manifested in the iny piovement������ and surroundings, agreeable or otherwise, with which we invest our property. On Front street there, is this spring more than the 'iisue.l rubbish to be cleared away���������broken l twigs ami brushes from the numberless loads ol" brush that wcre/liaulcd through the street ahd dumped oft' the river bank. And then tilierc is tlie ordinary accumulation of winter, filth, which is not only unsightly but is positively un- bealihfu! if allowed to remain until the weather becomes hot,, filling the air with noxious odors. All this debris should be raked together .'ind carted away or , b-.-.rned. To regulate Ibis,' however, 'may be considered flic particular provin'ceand duty of the health officer. Again, the piles of wood and chips, broken boards and unused boxes which lie scattered about1 furnish material for smarting a conflagration" which might destiny half the (own before il could be checked. And this, perhaps is the proper held iu which the energies of tlie fire wardens could be exercised to advantage. There hre- many defective, places in the sidewalks where a fresh board or plank should be I im walks Special Services at the Methodist Church The organization of the order of Oddfellowship will he '"celebrated on Sunday evening, April 28th, by an anniversary service in the Methodist church, and a sermon'by Rev.

Assessment work will be generally done on the claims at Ulecillewaet.

" I will tell you, Grace, when ho has proposed," was Kale's dignified,, reply ; " und io the meantime you- had better , finish dressing. 1 urn nearly ready to receive our gucste. How do 1 look ?" And the Hon. Kate Lilbnrno.as she asked this question, glanced with coniplaccncy upon the white satiir ' gown that hung so gracefully upon her. " Oh ! you always look well,'.' was the ungracious reply; " and uo wonder, when you have all your mother's jewels to wear, Those pearls alouo are worth a fortune." And she - pointed 'with a mixture ,of ,,anger and envy at, the costly ornaments ou her sister's neck and arms. ��� ' '' "Vcu know you are always welcome to wear any of my jowelry," said Kato.gently: "can 1 lend you anything now?"' ' ""No, thank you," replied her half-bister, 'Bhurply;"I don't choose to'dress in borrowed enou,. . ,'to you that Lord Roland Ayre is much more in love with your fortune than he is with you. "Certainly not; I should be ashamed of myself to think, so meanly ,of him." And Kate Lilburuc', turned to the glass before which she stood,arranged some flowers in the bosom of her drcs, and felt,with very'pardonable pride, that she was well , worth loving for herself alone. was a girl. Lady Lilburne choso to take offence at his vexation, and she became discontented and irritable" She next filled the castle with guests of whom' he disapproved and finally she eloped with a young officer of dragoons, leaving her child bohind. Tho indignant man did not attempt to follow his faithless wife; ho simply ignored her existence, and he took uo notrce of her letters when sho wrote long afterward professing repentance and asking forgiveness. She is dead now, but the outraged, husband often remembers her when ho looks in the faco of his youngest daughter,, and this may he one of tho causes why Grace is not his favorito child. But tho party of nearly forty guests have seated thorns-elves at the long dining-table in the old banqueting-hall, and the servants ore bringing in huge joints of beef, in addition to geese and turkeys, hares and fowls, besides nn enormous boar's head, as though they wero .intent upon feeding a hungry army. , ' ' While the guests are being helped by tho attentive servants, some of those who are Here for tlie'first time look about thorn at the maanificient dimensions of the old hall, which formed part of tho ancient castle, and had been left stand ing when the more modern porLion of tho mansion /was built by the preceding baron. f always admire this fiuo old hall," said Lord Kolacd'Ayre to Graco Lilburne, who jjnery plain gold ornaments aro < good I sat by his side, ahe having managed that he' >u��h for me. 1 suppose it never occurred) shoufd take her in to dinner. "I almost B - " ��� ��� - wander your father does cot use it more often than he does." "Vcb," assented the girl, "it is adelight- ftil place fpr a large party such as we h.,ve to-day, or for a dance, buo,you have no idea iiow desolate papa and Kate and I feel in it if we happen to dine here by ourselves. We tried it once or twice, but it gave us the horrors, so we werrt back to our ordinary dining-room, and only use the hall two or three times a year. Do you admire my ancestress who is lookins���down from the wall thereupon us,Lord Roland?" "Yes, Blie is ��� very like your sister ; J. have remarked the strong resemblance before to-day." (to be continued.) "it's true, whether you believe it or not," ' 'said Grace, spitefully ; "ho loves another , woman, but she is poor, and if he, asks'you to marry him it will bo because you are rich. Knowing Uris, I sliould think you . will never accept,him. ' , She looked at her sister anxiously as she uttered these barbed words, hoping to see Kate shrink, or because pale with grief, or flushed with indignation as she listened to them. ��� ' ��� Rut, unfortunatoly for the success of Graoe���Lilburne's schemes, the statement, she made carried no weight with it. It was'hor naturo to'plot and to plan, to be envious of, and ungrateful to, those who were kindest tcher, ar<d to make mischief ���and"''cause pain whenever she had tho chance ; and'this characteristic being well known to her half-sister, the latter paid but little heed to her remarks, though they did sometimes succeed in wounding her. Now, therefore, she said lightly : ".My dear Grace, don't trouble yourself about Lord Roland, nor about me ; he is sufficiently wealthy to be able to choose a wife without considering her fortune,and I ���give him credit for possessing too much good sense, and far too much regard for his own happiness", to believe he would marry a woman-whom he does not love. And now 1 will talk no more about him,tor it i3 not maidenly for you and me tobf; discussing a man's intentions when he has not proposed to either of us." So baying Kate Lilburne cast a last glance at her own reflection in the mirror, then turned to leave the, room. But Grace was not to be put off in this manner. Sho had overheard a conversation between her father and Lord Roland Ayre the previous day, and had 'gathered from the'words that fell upon her ears that Lord Roland had asked for and obtained her father's consent to propose to Kate. ' "Stop a minute, exclaimed Grace,plant-' ing herself in the way of the door ; 'Svill you promise me that if Lord Roland pro- , .poses.^to you.to-night you will not accept "iiini ?" "~" "I will notdiscuss the question," was the answer. Then, seeing that her sister barred 'her PARIS EXPOSITION.'

A despatch from Paris says :���The general plan for tho Paris Exposition of 1900 has been decided. M. Buvard, com- inisisry, has divided the exposition into four parts. For the first, buildings,will be erected onthe Cours de la Reine and the Esplanade des Invalides. For the second, on the banks of the Seine ' in the same direetiou. For the third, on the Trocadero grounds ; and for the fourth, on the Champ de ilars. It is also proposed to demolish the Palais de l'lndustrio and connect the banks of the Seine by what is called a boulevard bridge, ��� thus creating, between the Champs Elyaees and tho Champs de Mars, a vast, regular space, forming a perspective" ending with tho gilded dome of tne Invnlides. The general entrance will be tiie Place de la Concorde. ' The entrance of honor, in the Champs Elyseea, will be in the shape of a forum, with statues, having ou the right the Palace of Mernod Arts, and on tho ie/t the Paiaceof Expositions Retrospectives and oi Beaux Art?. In ihe centre of the Eoplanade des Invalides a seue3 of show constructions will be built, and on th�� left luuk of the river there will be a theatre, foreign annexes, kiosks, and cafes, which, when illuminated, will give un illusion of the City of the Dogea.

But about somo things thoy have a selfishness that appears to be perfectly natural to children and that I Bupposo is bred-in indulgence. They have all their lives been accustomed to have everything that their parents could give them, and so thoy come to expect it. "But I smile again as I recall the fact that when I was a, hoy I got all the 'gravy. Time and time again I, have seen my father tip the dish so that ho might get for me the last drop, whilo ho had none for him' self." He was very fond of gravy, too, but he never said so,; with gravo courtesy he gavo it all to mo aa though I wero entitled to'it.' Wheu I grew a littlo older I reproached myself for having taken it all ; when 1 giew older still 'and came' to know him us man to man, and came to know how gentle, and affectionale,aud forbeariu>:,aiid generous ho was, I came to know that ho wouldn't for the world have marred my pleasure by so much as a word���that tiie simple fact was that it was a far greater pleasure to him to give mo the gravy than it would have been to eat it himself. ~,, "And now when tho,children pass their plates I gravely dish out the gravy down to the last drop, and I say nothing for fear that they will rob mo of tho BolOsh 'pleasure of giving it all to them. But I smile to myself once more as I think of what will happen when they come to have children of their own. I know what they'll do then ; they'll give it all to the children, down' to the last, last drop."

The general condition of the British metropolis is indicated by the fact thai 137,000 destitute persous were relieved by the various charitable institutions during the past week', and the interim report of the select committee of the Iiouso' of Commons which was appointed to enquire into the .existing distress has disclosed a state of allairs which apparently can only he met by extensive relief,'works in certain dis tricts. Through the medium of tho Local Government Board a circular letter was addressed to the mayors of towns and to the chairmen of district Councils, asking, for information on tho following points :��� " ���' 1. Whether there iB any exceptional distress in ��� the district, an'd Iiow far this is due to circumstances peculiar to the*local- ity or to the severe weather". "2. What is baiug done to meet distress by the pnbiio authorities or by voluntary agencies, and, the avenige daily number relieved by each of the agencies'duriug the week ended Saturday, February 16 ? 3. Is an unemployed registeririaiutained and with what result ? ��� <L Have you any suggestions to make for tho purpose of relieving such distress. ' The replies to this circular letter came in with promptitude, and the committee in its interim report made an analysis of these replres. In substance the 1,191 replies which were received from districts repre- sentinn apopulatian of more than 20,000,000 may be summed up by saying that in 596 localities, representing a population of 6,797,231, there is no exceptional distress ; tfiat_m_454 localities, with ir, population of 10,3S17000ythere is exceptional dis-ress, aire solely to the severity of the winter ; and that in 1-44- localities,with a population ot 3,700,000, there is, apart from the want of, employment due to > the weather an exceptional want of employment owing to slackness , of trade, to to depression of agriculture, or to particular 1-->caI or industrial cases.'

An apology will no doubt bo made, as ono unquestionably is duo, ,if tho circumstances aro as tho American captain describes them.' Fortunately Lho offensive shot harmed nothing but the naLioual dignity' of the United States. It was fired at a time of war, when tho Government of Spain was engaged in putting down rebellion iu one of tho colonies'. At such times mistaken may be made, and trading vessels aro expected to steer a prudent course. Spain is having troublu with Culm, its greatest colony, and the finest island in thegroup of tlie'Wost Indies. It lies just o'lf, the coast of Florida, and the Uuitod Stales has long had covotous eyes upon it. A quarrel with Spain at the moment when a considerable part of the island isiu active rebellion'against Spain's vicious colonial system would make an opening for United States, interference between, .the mother- country and tho'colony. ' Au excuse is all that is wanted to bring that island, as tho Hawaiian islands have boen brought, under the control of invaders who are biipported by tho United States. Even before the firing of the shot that has caused so great a commotion in jingo cirelos, interference in behalf of tho Cuban rebels was oponly advocated by certain journals and politicians. The disposition to doprive Spain of its finest colony is all the stronger- since sho retaliated against the duty on raw, sugar. Throats of further reprisals on the part of the United Slates, and urcont representations by commercial interests in Cuba, induced her, however, to restore, l.o the minimum list the leading imports of the island from the United StatoB. But it is now the island itself that is wanted. Some of the most prominent members of the Republican party are singularly candid in admitting this. William C Whitney, late Secretary'of the Navy, does not, think an apology wipes out the affront, and declares that the state of Cuba .is a disgrace lying at ihe door of United States. Senator Fyre,. of Maine, and a member'of the Committee on Foicgin Relations, hoped that Spain would notapolog'ze, in order that a pretext for war and tho conquest nt Cuba' might ho had. ��� Senator Lodge,, of Massachusetts, tho man who wants to crush Brili.sh undo and everything else that is, British, is equally vociferous for,tho annexation of Cuba.

That tho "280,000,000 -inhabitants of tho contirii-nt of India should ever become ono nation is so wild an improbability, and, even'if poRsiblc, a matter of so many centuries','that its aseurned realization cannot bo made tho basis of practical politics. England and Ireland arc an example of the slowness ot growth of a common national sentiment in closely allied peoples forming one slate, and tho national unification of medieval Europe would havo been a problon analagous to that of India to-day. For Latin then, as English now, in India was a commou tongue lor the educated classes, yet tho foimcr did not supplant, as the latter is now not destroying, the popular languages. And lho ideol of a temporal bead of Christendom in the holy Roman emperor , with its attendant aspirations, was a sentiment counteracting local or tribal feeling stronger than any that has yet arisen in India from the superimposed Mithoi-ity of the Queen's government,while there is nothing in India to correspond with the religious unity of Europe under the popes. For Hindooism and Islsm show no signs ot decay, and' the antagonism between their followers is on the increase. In the traditions of history one of tho most powerful elements of national sentiment, the pride of the one is tho shame of the other. The Mussulman glories in Aurung- zeb ; the followers of Gobind Singh and ' Sivaji detest bis memory. Iutcrinirriago is imno'-.'iible, and is a sin even among tho myriad castes of Hindoos.

The first thing the prospective dairyman , needs to havo is cows, says a writer.' Perhaps he olready ��������� hos ' a few, if so,' even though they are not of the most approved dairy breed, a very good herd may in a few years be had by buying at once a thorough- -, bred bull of the breed which you consider best. Opinions differ as to this, but as for mo it would be a Guernsey, all things being considered. By the use of such an animal your heifer calves from common or native cows will be a very great improvement upon their mothers, and by following this grading up for a few years a herd can be obtained fully as good for practical purposes as the thoroughbred animals. This is a faoe which is demonstrated upon many a farm to-day. ' If the beginner in dairying has the money to invest he may buy as many blooded cows . as he pleases, but for the poor' man, or one ,who has riot plenty of money, ,ilhe first method will do equally as well, for tho' actual results 3kow that as thoroughbred cows average the grades give us just as much and as rich milk.' rFor oaa who intends to to sell stock of course the full blood animals would be necessary, ���������* ��������� After the cows comes the oare of them. 1 This should bo the very best, both as to . their comfort and as to , their ' food., .Up . to a certain limit ' the .more "food a cow consumes the more . profitable she is lo her owner, for it she is of, the true dairy type she will convert it into milk aud so into butter." If she is not of this type she has no place ��������� in the dairy and should bo disposed of at onco. - To the beginner the advice in regard to grain foods is bewildering, but let him take my word for it from my own experience and pin his faith upon bran, wheat bran. This fed with gluten meal gives best satisfaction in our dairy, although corn meii, crushed oats, linseed meal, roots, all are good. ��������� But whatever the feed, don't stint the cows. ' Be sure they have all the water they want. This is very important, as well aa to give salt frequently, or better keep it where the cows can help themselves to it. Now that we hav.e the cows, and havo ' attended to their food and care; let us look at their Btable. -It must be warm. Building paper is cheap, and nothing is mose effectual in keeping out cold. A shivering cow can not make the best use of her food for more of it will go to keep her warm than ought to. Let the building paper do that. It rs cheaper than grain aud hay. Cleanly milking should need no reference here, but may be mentioned, although any intollig-, cnt man knows that all filth of all kind is to be kept out of the milk pail. Now as to the manufacture of.the butter. While improved machinery in tlio shape of separator, etc., may be convenient in some respects, it is not ,at all essential to tho manufacture of good buttei.', A creamery; or oven the "shotgun" cans will, if plenty of ice , is used, get every particle of the' cream at much less expense. The only objection to the cans is that it is-difficult to get all the cream of the top of the milk. This objection is overcome in the creamery, where the faucets carry off the two separately. The oream must bo ripened until alightly thick, aud churned at not higher than sixty-two degrees, the butter-milk then washed out from the granules with cold water and Lhe butter salted to the taste. Once working is sullicient, all subsequent working is an injury. As to marketing. Here is where tho question of profit or loss will be quickly decided. If the grocery store receives it, the chances are that it wiil be at no yroat profit. Tho commission houso offera not much better inducement, for after paying freight, cartage and commission the ru- rnitinder will not be very aitisfaotory, nt least such has been tho e.vporicnce of somo who have told cxcellont butter in that way. The way to get tho most for butter is to sell direct to consumers." it'will pay the beginner in dairying to put up some of his best butler in attractive prints and go to hiB nearest large town with them. A house to house visitation, wheio his samples aro displayed and tasted, will soon secure a market for all he can supply at a good orice. to the butcher. Big ones aro uo longer needed. Small sizes are best, with pleuty of quality, aud with youth on their side the meat iB juicy aiid tender. Age is counted in months now, instead of years as in the past, and the change is for tho better. Quality, not bulk and fat, takes the prize now." .DISTRIBUTING .WESTERN AID. .tniuslits nml I'ri'Jietic Scenes ' 'Anions the Snir.Tlns Seiners. A despatch'from Abilene, Kansas, says : ���������The distribution of eeed wheat from the .-Chicago Board of Trade and the state appropriation of $100,000 is'now going on among the western Kansas cpuntios, whilo many carloads of supplies are coming iu from eastern charitable sources. Some of the scenes are pathetic, und others arc disgraceful, as tho Hupplics uro given out. In Lincoln Centre a man having 815,000 worth of pro[crly put in an application for help. Another aukfi'd for nothing but a barrel of sweet potatoes���������ho aaid ho had -plenty of the common kind. Tho requests for potn- toe* r uor'e tho most numerous,, and the commissioners have cut down tho allowance to two bur-hols per family. In Home instances lho supplies have quickly been sold and tho money spent for liquor. The distribution of clothing has caused a remarkable aud an amusing u-ansfor mutiou in many communities. The eastern pooplo have been more generous than discriminating in their gifts, and it is not unusual to see the day laborer or the poverty-stricken Be'.tler on tho street arrayed in a dress coat and si'k tile, which had sometimes graced tho attendant on a'swell city function. Tho supplies for the feminine portion of tho community include in almost every rnstanco a'sample specimen of .the crinolines that were the fashionablo thing a year,ago, and the settlers' wives and'daughters are happy in the possession of these, to them, stylish novelties. A town is thus changed out of all recognition after tho receipt of a car load of goods, and the result is something to make the chance visitor smile. But there is a pitiful side to it aa well. Farmers driv6 in ten and fifteen miles from Iheir wind-swept claims arrd ask for a slight donation to keep their families alive. Thoy have all winter lived on meal and milk and kept" warm by,'moans of the "surface coal" which is now becoming bo scarce. To see a settler driving back with his lean team with 150 pounds of coal, a few pounds of flour and a dozen bushels of seed wheat to try and keap the spark 'of life .within him for another period is a pathetic sight, indeed, and makes one wonder why ho does not get out of tho country. His answer is thai ho does not know where to 'go. ' His farm and team are mortgaged. lie haB neither' money nor clothes. He may as well starve iu one place as another.

Good and suitable starch for shirt work and the like is prepared as follows :. A sufficient quantity of starch should be reduced to an even paste with cold water in a perfectly clean pan, adding two heaped table-spooufula 'of powdered barax'toeach pound of dry starch. ��������� Cold water should then be added until'the starch is of the consistence of new milk, and r.erfectly free from lumps.

When doubts exist as to whether the starch is of right oonaistence, it is wall lo starch and iron an old collar, and it will then be readily seen if lh������ requisite stiffness has been obtained. ��������� In starching shirts, the mo halves of tho front should bo lolded together, the outer seams boiug exactly level, and llien gathered logetherin tho left hand in such a way that the stiffened portion!) only may be dipped in lhe starch,while'tlie plain portions can bo left dry.

The ironing boarder kitchen table should be covered with about four layerE of blank-, ols, and over this should be stretched au ironing sheet, the whole arrangement being tacked or otherwise firmly fastened down. Beyond these things a piece' of flannel folded about four times, to a, size rather larger than an ordinary shirt front, a few pieces,of clean 'linen, a,clean linen cloth for a damper, ,and a fairly large pan or basin of .clean water are required, but these can scarcely be. called special appliances.

'' In ironing hhirts, the modus operandi is as follows : The shirt���������which, by the way, is inside cut���������is unrolled and the yoke ironed, it is then turned and tho right side of 'the yoke and neckband iioued. ' Tho shirt i3 then folded lengthways from the gathers of the yoke to the tail, and' the back is ironed on 6ither side., After this the wriBtbands are ironed, being polished if necessary ; the sleeves being then taken in hund and finished, putting in any pleats that may be necessary, and being careful to, press them into proper shape.

AH .lluula Hall Vlsllinjr 'lonclon U Oc tii.;!itcil Willi Them. , 1 M. Richard has made the music hall hit of the season iu London with his dancing dogs.

When both sides are done pin the collar or neckband together, and run the iron down the centre and auiosa the baso of the front, afterward ironing the remaining unstarched portions of thegarment,and putting in any necessary pleats. When this is done, carefully turn the shirt front downward on the board and fold neatly, pinning tho shoulders together to'round the front somewhat.

'��������� y IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE. , ImllcadoiH Point to n Revival iu Itiitl- nos���������Wheat Is Scarce nnd Flour ftotnx IP- Wheat is' the baroinoter of Ontario's trade, and within the present low range there is now an upward tendency. The srmera are offering but little���������scarcely enough to supply the millers of the Pro-, vince. Ever since the opening of.yhe year deliveries from tho first hands havo been small ; and the prices are 'now higher than they have been for many months. Flour is going up, and there is no doubt this tendency will continue, as it is Boveral years since the stocks have been'so email as at present. The influences which tend to stiffen the market, give' every evidence of continuance. It will hi but a few week at most till tho country roads become almost impassabla ; and, although this may temporarily interfere with other lines of business, it will further strengthen, lho market for country x>roduce. The snowfall^ has been unusually heavy, aud in many suctions fai-niers havo lound tho drifts impassable and havo been drivinu over the adjacent fieldd. When tho break-up comes it will be all the more prolonged, and for so.no Lime the delivery of grain will bo impossible. With iliia break-up in view and tho demand for flour strong, it ia fair to concludo that prices will range still higher than at present. The opening 'of navigation will doubtless have a stimulating ei'.ect, as it will facilitate tho movement toward points of shipment. The leather trade is also ro- porti'ng a'ruarked improvement. For somo time it has been demoralized,with prices and profits extremely uncertain. But recent developments have caused a marked ch-iuge toward stability and a general stiffening of prices. This cannot be attributed entirely to the efforts of the trade in the Province In, the western States a strong demand for hides has pprling up, and shipments are now'made from Canadian points to Chicago. This has had a marked effect oil 'the price of hides in,local markets. At the same time there has arisen in England a demand^ for Canadian leather., And' 'this combination of influences has been advautageom to the Canadian tanneries. , Their.business is now iu a bolter condition than it' has been for many years. " While there are alwaya two opposite points of view ,frorn" which a rise in prices may be viewedj these natural advances in Canada s staple products invariably make for the prosperity of' ail our business interests. ��������� IT G0IQD1B8 THE FLAIE, WHAT A BALL IN THE NOZZLE OF A FIRE HOSE WILL DO."

No field work has been done in any pan of the country for five weeks. From Scotland the report is ' of violent snowstorms, continued frosts, impassable roads, railway blockades and suspended agricultural work. In Franco it is believed that the sudden alterations of temperature in the early'part of the month before there were heavy snow falls havo injured wheat and rye.- In Germany no anxiety is felt as to the condition of winter wheat or seeding. In Spain very cold weather has continued throughout the whole of February, but tlio great falls of snow have protected the crops. In Italy the winter has been of unprecedented severity, but much snow has fallen and remained oh the ground so that no evil effects are anticipated. , In 'Austria winter seed- ings have been protected by the snow, but in Hungary the situation is not quite bo satisfactory.

Following' it up and eearclnng out tho practical uses to which his discovery might be appli ed, Mr. Pollock has found that it will serve many purpose's of human necessity, most important of which is that of adding to the present fire equipments a spray of such powerful effect that it is doubtless not claiming too much for it to say that iu every case where fire departments are prompt-in reaching fire3 there will be no longer necessity for loss of life either from suffocation or fire." It was found that by using a large boll and ball and applying such a nozzle to fire hose it would create ft solid sheet of water and give out the same' quantity of water as given out through a straiqht nozzle without creating any hack ' pressure on the hose. Careful study was given to developing the ball nozzle for this purpose, and after experiments extending (1 over, a' period of several months the best form oi boil was found and a new appliance was given to firo departments which ia certain to increase to a very largo ex tent'their efficiency. The ball nozzle was immediately adopted by the fire department in Des Moines, Iowa, the home, of the inventor,' aud since its adoption the record of the fire1 department has "been a marvellous one; not a ,s>ingle serious loss has occurred, and the chief of tho fire department t'e3ti,nc3 that he has by the use,of 'he ball nozzle saved many lives ^ *% &y^i M?W^ *. \ M~~ ���������--?- sW BATJj NOZZLE CONQUKBINiJ THE FIRE DEMONS, and thousands of dollars' worth of property. In cue particulat instance, when one of the largest lumber yards in that city took fire, and for a few minutes threatened a valuable portion of the city, the timely arrival of the department and the'use of the ball nozzles averted a most disastrous conflagration. As ia generally known, the most diffi cult thing to contend with iu the' early stages of fires is the smoke which quickly fiils tho entire structure, making it impossible for firemen to outer,, and for thi3 reason it may be said that thousands of lives have perished and millions of dollars' worth of property have been destroyed. Efforts havo constantly been made to produce an effective spray with sufficient power to drive smoke and quench flames, but up to the time ol the discovery of the ball nozzle this important result had not b.en accomplished. 'Tho difficulty has .been to secure a spraying device that would permit the flow of a sufficient air nun t of water to give it driving power and at lho same time lo overcome Lhe back pronauro of tho hose, but the ball nozzle accomplishes these important reaulta, and ii withal moro easily haudlnd than this ordinary sLr.iight stream.

Administration has boon wisely adapted io the conditions oi a people hardly yutemerging from barbarism aiid justice has been dispensed both in civil and uriininal cases with,due, consideration of their habits and customs and thoir initial stage of civilization^ Tiie result of these methods, and tho further fact that the settlement of religious questions has been left, to tho local Mohammedan leaders, is that the people appeal freely to tho , British couns and to the British officials in the settlement of trihal disputes, and that Lhroughout'tho' enlire country there is a fair de;greo of peacouud contentment: Along tho immediato , coast- law and order iB sternly enforced,, the pro- datory habits of the natives being held iu che-ck by tho aid of the Indian 'troops, a native police und camel corps, while schools, hospitals and dispensaries and employment . of various kinds has served to promote tho well-being and prosperity of the people. .With all this has followed a considerable development of trudo,though in' the limited wauls of the natives it, may' be doubted whether trade s ever likely to bo largo, unlets minerals are discovered,or the country becomes the outlet for tho traffic of tho iuLerior. Tho disirict contains the best port on tho coast, that of Uorbera, and it rs probable that with increasing traffic through it, the natives may roaliue tho ' advantages of the larger market, and so coucentiate a trmlc there which'now (lows throngh;many small ports by many caravan routes.' Meantime the British hold on the country has been assured by treaties under which tliu principal tribes bind tliomsclvos ��������� not to cede their lands to any other foreign state,to suppress the ilave traffic aud afford protection to British 'travellers, whilo boundary questions have been sotlled by conventions witii both Franco and Italy. , Altogether, the chances for tho peaceful ami orderly development of the country seem'excellent, .the results of tho ten years of British occupation going to prove anew the flexibility of,British rule,and the readiness with which.it is adapted to the'needs of even the least civilized peoples. ��������� ' Sells His Wife for Money. , , A despatch irom Anderson, Ind., says:��������� According to the terms of a trade consum mated in this ciiy, Joseph'Mix disposes ,ot his wife and all his household effects to Joseph Badgely,o a farmer. About two years ago Mix married Laura Clearwator, who, previous to lhe marriage, had been tho housekeeper for Farmer Badgely. Siuce the wedding Badgely has lived the life of a lonely man. ,On Tuesday morning Badgely drove up to tho residence oi Mix and going into the houso, inquired how much he would ,' take for his wife andallthe household oliects. ' He replied promptly that a 83 bill would buy what Badgely wanted. ' I'll justynoko it ������25, said Farmer Badgely, so the terms of sale wero agmed upon. Badgely brought Mrs, Mix to the city and together they went to the law office of Kittencrcr & Reardon. ,' There terms of the deal were fully explained and the law firm retained to bring divorco proceedings for Mrs. Mix. As soon as the divorce is procured B.uigciy will ms.ke Mra. Mix his wife and take her to his home, Fear the Big Ditch." A despatch from Washington says :��������� Some eminent engineer has suggested that tiie Chicago drj.in.ige canal, when it is running in full blast, may lower the level of the great lakes. The people of Cleveland have taken great flight at the possibility , of this calamity and have made a protest Lo lhe war department. General Thomas Lincoln Casey,' chief of engineers,' would not say, on the spur of the moment, whether the drainage caual would make any noticeable reduction in the lake level. Ho was inclined to lock lightly on the statement of the engineer who had set the people of Cleveland in turmoil. According ,to the Cleveland view of the matter tho drainage canal will let nine inches of water out of the great lakes when the flood catcs are opened. The harbor at Cleveland could not epare this water, and it is quite probable (hat none of the harbors on lho lakes could. Trie war department hai not yet given tlie rnatler'nerious .-mention.

Title | Kootenay Mail |
Publisher | Revelstoke, B.C. : Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Co. |
Date Issued | 1895-04-27 |
Description | The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review. |
