And" ���jo the fccene is quiet; a -few rude .houses huddle together^on the broken, red banks; plover and sandpiper wheel and alight and .run daintily over-the-hard, red'-sand; gulls slide' lazily through the air. Only the whistle of a curlew or the cry of a gull breaks tlie stillness of-the shore. It is with surprise thut you awake to the fact that between you and the diameter in the distance hundreds or men are silently at work. - Later, when you are in the midst if them, you do not wonder- at the ���silence. The very nature of the task demands it, for it is tlie hardest of hard work this,���no stubborn dragging of shovel or scoop, but the patient, , hand-chilling, back-breaking .ask of groping , with. heavy, long- .irmed tongs for the .shells below and lifting them up hand 'over hand, through, perhaps, twenty feet of wa- ler. It is a lesson in patient industry. The fisherman braces himself hstride a thwart, and lowers his Dan- of tongs (two long poles hinged about three feet from a pair of iron rakes Mtjne forty inches wide) to the bottom. The water,is-always icily cold, and may be anywhere from oiie to three" latHomsT ~"rO&> Curtain Island, where the choicest oysters are found, it often runs to four, or four and a half fathoms. On the bottom, the ���hells are attached'"to the hard sand. ;o one another, or to anything that is ���olid enough to hold their grip. An uld hand can quickly tell when he lias landed a good spot. Opening wide the jaw3 of his tongs, he reaches well over, pushes the iron teeth firmly down into the bad, brings the jaws together, and lifts up, loot by fowt, the heavy load of muddy sand and oysters. 'How would you like to keep at that all day?" asked a grizzled old chap, as he balanced the long pole on thc gun"wale, and knocked sand' and mud into the water. "It's not very bad this afternoon, but, I -tall you, it's cold work w-ien the "water 'freezes on your tongs, and the wind blows through you." That is the other side of it. It is undoubtedly picturesque on a fine, sunijy day; the two or three, hundred boatjj make a pretty sight in the blue, particularly when at evening they all hoist,sail and make in, but, "I tell you, it's cold work when the water freezes on your tongs and the wind blows through you." PARLIAMENTARY PETS. Ctrtain British Schoolboys Are Favor, . ites of Law-rnakers. * , ��� * At a time when so much public at ten'ion is being directed to the Brit- ish Houses of Parliament it is inter esting to note how much the boys ol Westminster School have always been favored by the two Houses aud given privileges accorded to' no .-'other school in the land. Doubtless' this 'has arisen from many things, one being the close intimacy, which h'as always existed between the abbey, the Parliament, and the school itself. It is not widely known that' the scholars of Westminster School have the privilege of using the terrace of the Houses of Parliament on- Sunday afternoons as practically their own. They sit and stroll there, watch the river craft, and enjoy the-cool breezes in , summer as if legislators" to the manner born. This special privilege is believed to come from the Speaker, for 'the time being, and was probably first given by a Speaker.who was an old boy. ' Then it is better known, though not universally, that; the House of Commons reserves six special seats every day for the Westminster boys. These seats are in the gallery, and a list is filled in at the school each' day and sent to the House giving the names of the boys who intend to avail themselves of the right. This privilege is highly prized by the scholars, and there is much competition for the seats when any striking debate is under way. The House of Lords, too, though it does not retain special scats in this way for St. Peter's scholars, always gives the boys every opportunity when they wish to attend its debates, as they very often do. When the Sovereign goes to open Parliament in state there is a place regularly kept for the Westminster boys on tho pavement outside Henry VII.'s chapel right opposite to the entrance of the House of Lords. Thus the boys get the very best view of the procession to be had anywhere, and ,they have it practically. to themselves as the general public are usually excluded from that portion of the route. Even at coronations, when special galleries are kept in the abbey for the peers and members of Parliament, seats near the peers are always reserved for at least the forty royal scholars of the famous school, and these boys are given the first privilege of saluting the Sovereign by their acclaims as "King of England" both when he enters the nave of the abbey and when the crown is put on his head by the Archbis��">p of Canter-, bury, for the peers wait until the captain and scholars have shouted "Long live the King" ere they themselves join in the cry, and thus give the signal for all the world to salute the new monarch of the British Empire. - The Easier Way Violet���Mummy, dear, are our prayers answered?"

Dr. Wil- A PRINCE FOR CANADA. C. Frederick Hamilton Argues For the Affirmative. "A British nobleman is selected as Governor-General by , the Cabinet uf the United Kingdom;* presumably he is a political friend of the party in power. He assuredly has been a party man,at home,'and his whole training up to the moment of his appointment- has been as a partisan. He suddenly is charged with a monarch's duties; he becomes our local King, minus the affectionate loyalty, which is properly reserved for,the King in London. But monarchy is. a trade in -itself,��� from' the power of recollecting, names and faces which is said to be a royal puality, to that poise of the mind which regards no political parties with undue favor or resentment; it is a life training. It is a trade which is difficult enough with the aid of all the advantages which are denied to our Governor-General. It is only fair to expect our Governor-General to take sonic months at least to get into the necessary frame of mind to which royalty is trained from infancy. As soon as he has learned his trade, as soon as he has forgotten that he ever was a partisan as soon as he has begun to accumulate tho experience which is a monarch's special personal qualification, wo wisk him off; we erect an unwritten law forbidding him again to get foot upon our shores; and we send him back to the Parliamentary arena of Great Britain, there possibly to be a partisan once more. "I regard two things as valuable in a working resident Kingship; training, and the mental attitude which it brings; and experience. The logical results of this contention are royalty and permanence. Let us have a royal prince as Governor-General, and let it be a life appointment. "We Canadians have pretty definitely made up our minds about our national business. We intend to make this North America of ours, at present a One-Power continent, at some time in the future a Two-Power continent. It,-is unlikely that we can hope to equal the United States in sheer bulk of citizenship, and it consequently is necessary to search for some countervailing advantage. The advantage which lies to our hand is the power which we possess of making ours infinitely the more interesting citizenship.

On New Year's morning it ia the custom of thc ollicers to visit the various sergeants' messes, and this year when Sir Henry and some of the officers of the Queen's Own Rifles visited thc sergeants' mess of the Mississauga Horse one of the party entering their names in the visitors register wrote: "Col. Sir II. Pellatt, A.D.C." The Mississauga Horse Sergeants had a boy watching the registration who announced each officer as ho entered the reception room. When it came Sir Henry's turn the boy called out much to the amusement of all present: "Color-Sergt. Pellatt of the A.D.C.'b." Needless to say Sir Henry appreciat ed tlie joke an much as any one.

Our American cousins are in a continental ring-fence; we are free of the world and of world-politics. This advantage, already perceptible, will grow as Imperial organization marches forward,,and as Canada takes an increasingly active part in the affairs of the Empire. Now, bf this subtle, difference in the two^ North American citizenships, the presence of royalty at Ottawa would be an outward and visible sign: It would impart to the texture of our national business that warm and gracious personal note which makes a monarchy an attractive method of Government, the absence of which makes a republic a cold, bare, and uninteresting method. "Certain of our private and confidential bits of business should be expedited by the'presence of royalty at our capital. Here one is dealing with matters which are jealously guarded for a couple of generations at least; but it seems within the bounds of probability to held that a certain proportion of our public affairs, never large, always appreciable, and sometimes important, depends upon personal considerations. The subject does not lend itself to full or explicit discussion, but at least it may be said that it should be no disadvantage to Canada to have as her medium of communication with the United Kingdom a royal personage whom every British statesman would regard with thorough respect, who would be the near relative of our King and Emperor, and who would be the blood relation of nearly every. European monarch. We could count upon our royal prince being more Canadian than the Canadians; his whole interest would be bound up in the growth, prosperity, dignity and glory of his principality; and as our part upon the great stage increases it should prove n_icreasingly_us_eful. to have devoted-to "our""service a personage of real European influence. Our views would be sure of getting to headquarters; a proportion of our frets are due to the suspicion that our representations do not reach headquarters, but are smothered on the way. "Of ways, means and persons I have little to say. The daily press is busy now with the discussion of one august name; I am content to argue for the general principle. The question of ways and means is simplicity itself. Let a royal prince be nominated as Governor-General. On the expiry of the six-year term, if all has cone well, rennnoint him.

LOWERY'S GLA1M During the 37 months that Lowery'a Claim was on earth it did business all over the world. It was the most unique, independent ond fearless journal ever produced ia Canada. Political and theological enemies pursued it with tlie venom of a rattlesnake until the government shut it out of the mails, and its editor ceasad to publish it, pa-try- on account of a 'lazy liver and partly because it takes a pile of money to run a paper that is outlawed. Ihere are still 25 different editions of this condemned journal in print. Send 10 cents and get one or $2 50 and get the bunch. E.-T. LOWERY, Greenwood, B. C. Twenty years ago, Jake Cobaugh was a familiar .figure around the camps of Kootenay. He obtained an interest in the Silver. King mine for doing some assaying. He sold that interest for about $25,000 and spent the money like a crown prince at a Methodist tea-meeting. He was in Bossburg recently, aud the Herald says:��������� Notwithstanding the remarkable luck which has followed him l.e has failed to accumulate a large portion of worldly good.?. He sold his interest in theBonaza for $3000. Ho was cheated out of the major portion of hi3 immense holding in the, Silver King mine, after the majority had refused to come to come to terms regarding the sale "of the mine. 'The-miues -which Cobaugh has located are today worth several millions of dollars, but the kind hearted old man is not enjoying the fruits of his* marvellous luck. * The GREENWOOD Is situated in the heart of the city and -.-within stepping distance of all the banks, restaurants, express, stage, telegraph offices, etc. The building is heated with hot water and has a radiator in every room.

People lika to hear tales of wonderful hunting and the thrilling fights we went through, but start to tell of the hardships and privations .that we. &H suffered and nobody cares to listen; yet our lives were aboat ninety per cent, hardship and privation. The days of hunger ? Oh, yes! there were times when we nearly starved! Buffalo were never bo plentiful as in the story books, and we never cared to travel very far without provisions. "Then there were the sleepless nights, when we were afraid to build a camp fire, or even to take our half-frozen fingers off the triggers of our rifles, and these nights would be followed by loDg days of thirst and fighting against an unseen foe. It was tevcr the fun that the dime-novel-reading- boy thought it was. "But I will say that having been born in the country and brought up to this kind of thing, we did not suffer from these hardships as much as men would today. The old frontiersman accepted physical privation as a matter of course in his life, and neevr grumbled or complained of his fate. Every one of the, old frontiersmen expected to be killed in a fight with his eternal foes, the Indians, some day, but on the theory that a live man is better than a dead one, they did not go courting death as some of our romancers would have us to believe. "It was the code of the Indian fighter to take no chance that was unnecessary. Dare-devil bravery, may be all, at times, very well fori soldiers of some civilized nation, but it was always foolish on the frontier. "What good would-a scout be if he got killed every time he Went out to have a look at the conntry in front ^"--Colgate Baker, in the New York 'Itfiviow. A witness in a railroad case, asked to tell in his own way how the accident happened, said: "Well, Ole and I was walking down the track, and I heard a whistle, and I got off the track, and the train went by, and I got back on the track, and I didn't see Ole; but I walked along, and pretty soon I seen Ole's hat, and I walked on, and seen one of Ole's legs, and then I seen one of Ole's arms; and then another leg- arid then over on one side Ole's head, and I says, 'My God! Something muster happen to Ole!' " Greenwood, is. the home for workingmeu of all nations. - It is convenieut to tha smelter ou the hill.

Lofstad, Proprietor Quartz Near Dawson. ' "Work on the pioneer quartz mine, which is being prosecuted by Captain Charles E. Miller and other Dawson men, is progressing. The tunnel is in more than 500 feet. Owing to itB great length, there is some difficulty in keeping the gas out, but a device has been arranged which is a great help. It is expected that 25 feet more will bring the tunnel to a point beneath the shaft, now down 75 feet. The tunnel is at the 140-foot level, meaning that in order to connect the tunnel and the shaft, considerable more work will have to be done on the shaft. 1 1 4i >*M a In Good Toronto. Police Magistrate Denison has demonstrated that the word "scabs," as applied to employes acting as substitutes for strikers, cannot be used. Two men have been fined by him twenty dollars and thirty dollars respectively, with the option of thirty dayB in jail, for applying the epithet to strikebreakers at the Continental Costume Company. "I want it to be distinctly understood that I object to that word," he stated .decisively before imposing the flue. ./_ GREENWOOD/ 'B.r^.J/^ ^li$lW3*J&'^^ Early Risers. Birds get up early in the morning; and they havo to retire early or they, could not do it. The blackbird is tho last to go to bed; the robin is awake and singing at at half past two. Fifteen minutes later the thresh begins; and one after another the feathered troubadours start in, uutil at four all are at it. At five-thirty it is time for breakfast; and the early worm has to 'pay one of; the numerous bills presented to the silent wigglers of tho lawn. Far away fields are usually thought to be green. This is probably why so many people in the Boundary are constantly buying real estate and stocks far from the district in which they live. Why not put some of your speculating money in ventures within a few' miles of your own door, and benefit yourself and the country in which you . reside and make money ? The Argo Mining and Tunnel Co. of Greenwood is organized under the laws of British Columbia, with a capital stock of. .1125,000, divieed into 500,000 shares at 25 cents each, non-personal liability. Adjoining Greenwood the company own a largo number of valuable claims, with high-grade gold and copper ore showing on the surface. The company is now engaged in running a 3.000-foot tunnel to tap all these leads at great depth. Every indication is favorable to the striking of valuable deposits of ore, and the time to invest is now, Soen as ore is encountered at great depth.the price of stock will ascend rapidly and the chances of, making big money out of a small investment will not be so good. The time to speculate is when things are beginning. The success of this big tunnel means great wealth for the investors and increased prosperity for the entire district Investors and, visitors to the district are cordially invited to inspect the properties and view the work being clone in the tunnel.
