CITY COUNCIL. High School Instituted. ' t i Council met.l.ist night when all the jncmbets weie present. A pioposition \\a< laid bclore.the boaid fiom the tmstees of the public school asking for an -ippropiiation of ij.375 for the purpose of conducting a high school foi the balance of this year. In discussing the matter the real question seemed to he as to whether it shall bo free to pupils or a fee charged. The conclusion come to wis that the.itpproprintion asked for be made; tlnit the school be hue for this ye.tr, and that the ratepayers be asked at the Januiuy election whether they dcsiic it to be fiee in the future or not. t A communication was icad fiom the Turf club asking for a fifteen ycaiV lea**o of the city pailc tit a nominal rental of IfL per annum. 'Should this be granted they propose to erect suit able buildings and make a new race track. They also made it a condition of the lease that the city give a supply of water fiee.'- They fu ther pioposed that after five ye.i 111 the city may take it over on paying the actual cost of improvement" made. The matter whs discussed in all its bearings, objection being taken as to giving the club full power to make what impiovomcnts they wished without refeiencc to the city, and afterwards claiming the full cost of the same. Jt was also pointed nut that, in addition to water supply, strce'-s would have to lc graded and sidewalks built, thus entailing con- siJeniblc expense to the city. It was finally left over foi further consideration, and, in (he meantime left wilh the public winks committee and report at next meeting. <, The clerk was instructed to find out when the lailway commission may be expected heie, Mr. Gallihcr, having arranged that a meeting be held here and at NeUon A number of accounts were paid in full, but Constable Shaw was paid for half a month only, on account of being under suspension.

The little tents which dotted ,the grounds of the hospital .were already filled with victims ofthe heat. His own head,,whlrleii, and his pulse throbbed violently, and there were four hours of relentless sunlight still before the scorching city. The electric ambulance rolled lightly nnd noiselessly under the porte cochere of the great hospital and then, with its .citing of warning, threaded its way between cars; trucks' and delivery wagons. , People eyed it' with curiosity ��������� not unmixed with , awe. There was no ' telling whose' turn would come next.

Dr. James jerked unr . ,the shade, and the pitiless sunlight shot across the floor and rested on the' deathlike face.

"I'll never set my cap for any man." '���������Well,-' said Miss Podderly, with a shrug, "I wish 1 had Uie opportunities you turn uj) your nose at so recklessly." Mr. Larkins finally grew decidedly discontented and a little puzzled. "I don't understand you. ma'am," he admitted in one of liis mental apostrophes to the widow. "I have so far modified my views as to give you every opportunity to signify your wish to become Mrs. Larkins, and yet you're ns cool and calm as a bale of snow. I'm not used to it, ma'am, and I won't stand it. I'll give you three weeks more to get interested in mo, and then I'll take and propose to you. That's about what I'll do." When the allotted three weeks of grace had' expired Mr. Larkins in desperation executed his threat and received, a plump "No!" the result of Miss Podderly's championship and a streak of contrarinexs in the widow's disposition.

"How many of our''expressive ^expressions', are built around some reference to water!" said a writer. "Take a few brief examples for consideration"' If we think a scheme isn't very strong or a statement decidedly weak? we invariably say 'it won't hold' water.' Do we infer that more wisdom lurks in* an individual's head than he is ordinarily given credit for, what do we say? 'Still waters run deep.' When a person gets into some kind of difficulty, we say he is in 'hot water.' "When a proposition of any kind is rejected, especially ."^proposal of'marriage, it is'a case of having 'cold water thrown on our hopes.' Fortune has its 'tides,^ and blessings or riches aro 'rained' down on us. If a speaker exhausts his topic and still tries to talk, we say that he has 'about run dry.' "Rumors are always termed 'afloat,' and when a business enterprise goes down we call it 'swamped.' A man struggles to 'hold his head above water,' according to our colloquialisms, and when he doesn't know what plan to pursue in order to accomplish certain ends it is said of him that he is ���������all at sea."'���������St. Louis Globe-Demo- fj-iif-*. .' \ ' . * An Organ Without Stops. There is a man living iu an Eleventh street flat who has no music in his soul, and there is a man on the lower floor whose soul is hill of it. The lower floor man not long ago added a-four lung parlor organ to his lares and pc- nates, and two healthy daughters of his began to practice on it. Several nights later a friend paid a visit to the first man, and as soon as he got inside the apartment he heard the parlor organ on the lower floor. "Pine toned instrument, that," he said, because he,> too, had some music in his soul. The musicless man grunted. "Whose make is It?" the visitor asked. "Don't know," was the ungracious answer. "How many stops has it?" The host pulled himself up for a powerful effort. "Well," he replied, "it's been in the house for about a week now, und in that time it hasn't had any that I have been able to discover."���������New York Press. BaliT'a Position When Aaleep.

He hadn't .written to her, and he wouldn't until he had something /to show, and then pcrhaps-he would not care. All .of which were exceedingly bitter,,thoughts to be indulged in by a fine looking young chap dressed in white duck and bowling aloug in the, finest electric ambulance in the great city. 'HeJ pulled himself together' and shouted to the driver: , "Hey, Bill; where in time are we going?" "To Stinson's wholesale millinery shop. Bet there's half a dozen girls tumbled under. It's awful under that skylight where they trim. We got a dozen cases from there last summer." Dr. .Tames leaned back moodily,'and the ambulance swung round a corner, then stopped before the entrance of a high factory building. A policeman stood guard at the door. "Hight up the elevator, doc. Pretty nasty case, I guess. They've been working over her quite a bit." "And doing the worst things possible, I suppose," growled tlie young medical man as he stepped into tlie elevator. The driver and policeman followed with the stretcher. Up they shot past floor after floor, where the whirring of machines sotindcd like tho emphasized waves of heat. On the top floor girls 6ewed pantlngly nmid tire silks and velvets which were being worked into new fall millinery for tiie trade. The heavy fabrics added to their ' discomfort, but they barely looked up as the surgeon passed, though one of 1 their number lay silent and motionless 1 in the private oflice. It-was ull in the duy's work. Dr. James entered tho little room. The green shades had been drawn tight. A woman leaned over a figure stretched on the floor, with ice on the he ���������- Then, while the nurse "wondered fell asleep. It was two. days more,"before h������ conUWie pulled into Maud's room, and very while and ill he looked, propped -up in liis invalid chair. But tliey settled the, matter then and'tliere. for Maud told him how she had* wanted to wait, merely to^.see that he had not inherited 'his father's weakness and lack of ambition, and how .when her father,-had died suddenly,'leaving his affairs badly entangled, she had left all for tlie'creditors and come to llie big cily to lose herself in .the one line of work for which she felt fitted. ,,, , And when.Billy heard about it all he said if his bi(ii;on leg mended in time lie proposed to be best man, because he'd carried the young siirgeoa to his ladyluve,-if ulie'was a half dead one. Hid Rev. aril. . The train was snow bound twenty miles from the nearest station, and the' passengers, with oue exception,- found the waiting weary. The exception, a - stolid Scandinavian, drew from his valise a squeaky accordion, from wliich.^ he extracted such melancholy strains." that tlie passengers were moved not to tears, but to wrath. When the concert had lasted half an' hour, one of the listeners rose, quietly helped himself to the musician's hat and proceeded to take up a collection. He proved such a persistent beggar that before long the hat sagged with, its burden of nickels and dimes. The player, inspired by the rattle of coin, played with renewed vigor. As the man with the hat approached him, the interested passengers craned their necks to see the' presentation��������� but there was no presentation.' Instead, the man who had passed the hat calmly stowed the collection away in his own trousers pocket, tossed the empty hat to the Scandinavian and* gravely returned to liis novel. "Veil!" exclaimed the astonished musician. "Who vas dot money for?" "For me," said the man. "I guess 1 deserve some reward for having to sit next to music like that." liven the Scandinavian joined in the laugh that followed, and a little later he got the money���������on condition that he should not play any more.

..LUMBKKING.
The outlook for 'the-lumber industry is ���;improving. rAn active
doiiiand has sprung up'for shingles,
and it is stated tho' demnnd"is
greater than the supply. It is con-
(i'denlly'cNpooled this activity will
extent! this fall to the lumbei industry as a whole, The harvest in
Manitoba 'and' .the Northwest
promises to be good. Many little
portable mills have been employed
to cut'the ode! bits oMiniber on the
prairie ancl it does not take long to
exhaust these, "The Lake of the
Woods ship lumber, to Manitoba
for much less than can tlierBritish
Columbia'l'umber'mcn, but' the .demand cannot be supplied from this
source alone. British. 'Columbia
must'command the' market of the
future.1 '
While the proposed>tariff asked
for by the lumbermen' is expected
to help the -industry, the "point is
overlooked.'that, one reason why
the American lumbermen can successfully .compete 'in' Canada is
tha�� the American railways carry
lumber oh much more favorable"
rates.than do Canadian railways.
Lumber is 'here carried 'by weight.
There it is carried by-the 1000 feet.
The. railway policy of .the two
countries is more than anything
eUc responsible for the handicap
which the British Columbia'lumberman has in. seeking 'a 'market in
Manitoba and the Northwest. It
is to"tho railways" rather ' than to
government policy that the lumbermen's searplilight should be turned.

We quite endorse the movement

Pithy- Remarks of an Eastern
Business Man.
- The President of an Eastern board
of Made says :
-There is no excuse for dealing
away from home. , Money should be
spent in the-locality in .which it is
made, otherwise- the growth and
success of the district is impaired.
The conduct of those people who buy
on ciedit in town and outside for cash
cannot bo too strongly condemned.
The merchants know what they have
to contend with in outside competition, and consequently mark things
down the lowest possible prices, so
that if they cannot obtain cash or its
equivalent in value, they sulVur loss.
I.e loyal to your own district. Assist
the merchants so fur as lies in your
powfi*. to take advantage of every
trade dweount hy giving him the cash
with which to do so and you will Iind
that every effort put, forth in this way
���.'ill ledotuid to your own interests.
i It is true that tho large departmental

"With regard to the correct spelling of Dickens', third, baptismal name there is, I think, no doubt that 'Huff- am' is the accurate rendering.

Nutriment In tlie Cookecl,\Vn.ter >' TI.iin In the Gralnn. ��������� The rice grains that we eat and believe are nourishing do not begin to have the real nutriment fthat is contained in--the, water "in- which they have been cooked. For thousands of years" rice has been the 'main' food of the Chinese, Japanese: and ^eveh -the Sikhs of India. When we stop to think- that'these -warlike nations compose one-third of thej human race and subsist largely on'rice, -it seems probftble'-'thafthey thoroughly understand its properties. But the'orientals hav.e found that the water that we throw away after cooking the cereal is what.contains the.greatest life giving properties. In-fact, they prefer the water to the grain as a nutriment. In cases of stomach trouble, so prev-' nlent in the east, it is used.with great effect and can be retained when' even milk is'rejected. ".,'���������' But for the Anglo-Saxon a delicious dessert can'be made-from this same rrice- water. After cooking the rice drain the water and flavor with some extract. Set on the ice to cool, and it will form a jelly.. Heap'with whipped cream or fruit and serve. This makes not only a tasty , but nutritious dish and certainly an economical one. .

Macdonald considers the prospects of the liberal party' are steadily improving throughout the province, as the pcople'are becoming disgusted with the methods of the McBride government. _ Their unbusinesslike administration of the'coal and oil lands in, East Kootenay has created intense' indignation iind-'alienated, much of their former'support. 0 ������������������ Asked ,to the prospects of the liberal party in the coining dominion elections, ho , said Mr. Galliher stood high in'the estimation 'of the people and he would'be strongly supported, as he had'worked hard for- his , constituency and done much good work .Mr. MacdouaM says he wants to see the liberal party in the province have a clean, straightforward record," and one which will gain the confidence of the people. Jle'' will resort to no unquestionable methods to secure the defeat of the McBride'government,- but wishes to rely entirely oh the liberal principle cf trusting the people, and endeavoring,, to prove loyal to their best interests. ��������� ,. < Mr. Macdonald is a man who carries* confidence and conviction with him wherever he goes, and lie has.won the esteem of all who 'know hinvbv his * ' r t sterling character and-methods. , , . -^-TBY ��������� THE OWL .MS1 , Kant of MoIsodb Rank -asitovelstokc.
