C. The mining sections of British Columbia, and especiall}' those of the Kootenai's, are commanding the attention of English investors, as is shown from thc followiug taken from tbe London Daily Mail of March 16th : There are signs that the minii-g season in British Columbia is about to open. All prospecting has been stopped during the winter, and many of the mines shut down. With so many mines opening out well, there must be a large increase in the output of ore, with a corresponding addition to the number of dividend paying properties. With tlie opening of the Crow's Nest Pass, and of Vhe new connections which are being made across the border with American roads, like the Great Northern, cheap freight rates are assured. In tbese irnjjortant respects the Kootenay is one of the best silver and gold fields., It has richer ore than the Rand, transportation at a mere fraction of Rand rates, no dynamite monopoly, and no Boer misgovernment. It pays, the': lowest prices for machinery and supplies, and has the best kind of white labor at moderate wages. These advandage will all come into operation now that the mines are beginning to ship ore o.i a large scale. The Kootenay today is in about the same stage of development that the .Rand mine, wore oil the eve. of the boom of 1SUS. it may progress ao rapidly au tho Rand did then, and before the end of1 thjj) coming season may be quite- a number of Chas.

Mr. Small is much improved in health and will return to Cranbrook in about 10 days. The shipping of ore from .the St. Eugene mine has been suspended for the present on account of the bad condition oi the road to the mine. As soon as tlie road is sufficiently bare ore will be hauled on wagons until such time as the trrmwav is built and in running'order. From all appearances it .is not likely that the ice on Moyie lake will go out as early this year as it did last year. It is still quite firm, and .much thicker than of previous years.

" Moyie has a dozen' business houses, a couple of hundred inabitants, has 'two mines that ship ore, and is situate on the Crow's Nest Pass branch of the Canadian Pacific, and is the only town on that road for a'distance of seventy miles at which freight is t received ' or from which ..freight "is shipped. Yet the Canadian Pacific Railway company has absolutely refused to give the town or merchants making shipments to it any facilities for doing business.

Invitations should also be extended to the people of the neighboring towns that they may embrace the oportun- ity of having an outing on Moyie lake and a general good time with the people of the town. Moyie's celebrations in the past have always been most successful affairs, and the one to be given ou the 24th of next month should surpass all previous efforts. .GENERAL MEWS NOTES.

An interesting chess contest will take place in Moyie' tomorrow afternoon when J. M. Ferres, of the Montreal Chess Club, will play a simultaneous game with all corners. As Without further development, says the Fort Steele Prospector, the North,' Star.mine could ship 3,000 cars of ore during the'coming season. This oro would have a valuation of ."60 per ton, or a gross valuation of $2,700,000. The large compartment shaft is down 215 feet.

At 3:tst wo decided to winter in Kgypt. On account of my wife's health, wo always passed tlie cold months of the year in it more gonial climate than our own Tho Riviera, Koine, Xnples, Palermo, Seville, Algiers���all liad been tried, still Mary emit in tied lo !>e a great ' ��� sufferer from e.lironic rheumatism. So wi; resolved ro try whiir Kgypt would do for her. And then for ine wJiar, a para- disc it, would prove, anriiinary as I am! I would leave Mary with her mother and her sister at* Cairo or Helouan and make u voyage up tho Nile.. "For goodness' sake," 13ede, don't collect any more rubbish," said my wife* one morning after wo'liad arrived at Cairo. "Not, only your museum, but every room in the houso is fusty with 'tho ugly curiosities that arc about." "Talking erhausts one. And. thou, ��� then it is to" no purpose."'��� '"To no purpose!" "My sweet Mary, all yonr talking .will not, prevent me from adding to my collec rion of treasures. I liave promised myself a very good time hero in the land of rhe Pharaohs and will not, think of returning to England without a nice mummy or two." "Heavens!" she erclaimed. "Vou don't mean to say that it will he so l>. as that? Mummies! Vou disagreeable hum! Vou unkind husband! I wish 1 had not married you. Vou have no'more love in you than an old fossil or a mummied crocodile. It is too cruel���too cruel!',' Mary began to,sob. ."Ijnustgo and tell mamma and Blanche." I smiled to myself when left alone and worked out my voyage up the great waterway of Kgypt. Though tho attractions at Cairo were many, my desire to make the 'Mile trip was too strong upon me, and without delay I made preparations'for my departure. I took a dahabeali, and an acquaintance I had made at Cairo joined me in it. He, like me, was fond of the antique and an indefatigable collector. It was somewhat late on a January 'day that we bade "au revoir" to Cairo. Mary HlTectcd to be very huffy, nevertheless sho ' promised to go up to Luxor aD little later on by one of Cook's steamers. It was a splendid day, but there was not a, breath of wind stirring, so that my cheerful Arab boatmen took to their oars. We constantly quitted our boat, and, each mounted on a donkey, proceeded to view everything of interest, to tho thinker who loves to contrast, ihe splendor of art. in thc past with the barbarism of it in tho present. Temples, obelisks, colonnades, grottoes, caves, vase quart ies, ini- niensc subterranean .balls and chambers, pyramids���none of them was,of such deep interest to me as the mummy pits. At Manfalont above Maabde among the mountains, tlie crocodile mummy pits were the iirst that we attempted to explore. With lighted torches and preceded by our Arab guides, wo descended and iifter much dilliculty managed to creep through an opening at tlie bottom Here wc were met and almost driven back by a multitude of large bats. Thoy extinguished our lights nnd fastened on tho face and every part of the body, drawing blood wherever the flesh was bare. We had a hard battle with them, tearing them off and trampling them underfoot. Alter a bit, however, we relighted our torches and, creeping on our hands and knees, followed the windings of the low, narrow passage whicli led to thc chambers. The heat was intense, and we were tortured with thirnt. Wo inquired about the bardak and found that the guides'had already drunk its contents of water. Another trouble soon beset us���the disgusting eflluvia which issued from tho interior. >* A sickness and faintness stole o-,er me. St ill i had sufficient, strength to continue in tho track of tlio guides until we reached the iirst chamber, which was lofty and more airy. My friend Webster advised me not to proceed, but in a few minutes 1 .seemed to recover myself and felt that, I could go forward with prudence. At last we were in the mysterious cave. All around us, ] laced close together, wero the inunimie.i <,-[ the crocodiles. We selected two of these mummies and then retreat ed. Hut I was not yet sat isfied. The mummy of an Egyptian god was not suilieient for me. I was determined to have one of a innftal. This I succeeded in obtaining at Aboosambal, not without much dilliculty. Foi- a longtime i could not prevail upon tlie native chiefs ro give mo their permission to explore the two temples. At, last, however, I gained them over by a present of money. It was from the larger of the temples that the mummy of Amenof was removed It occupied a, sunken sarcophagus, above whicli upon the wall were delineated two sculptured stories, si paratcd by a long perpendicular band. The Iirst story related to the life of the royal inmate; the second to t be f-'-e of tho soul alter its departure from the body. Upon reporting what 1 liad done to my wife 1 met with a cold reception. "The horrible things! I will not travel with them Something dreadful would happen���an accident, in sl earner or train." "No. 3-011 cannot expect it, Bode." interposed my mother-in-law. "It would be too much. I share poor Marv's fears tliat I * something dreadful would happen wore we 10 travel in company with those mummies 11 is uncanny to drag them about the world with you." "Well, 1 must, say. Bede, that you yourself alter having spent tour months in rhe mummy pits are hardly fit, to travel with us," obsei-sed my sister-in-law You are noi a bit like your former self. ^You don't take an interest in anything jatiorm!, you sit ,for houis at a stretch beside those disgusting things in a sort of dream, and your appearance hns under gone a st a riling change. Vou wero a \ery good looking man befor3 you went up the Nile. Now the skin of your face is shriveled and seared and orange brown in color. Vour eyes are sunken, and their pupils are contracted, your mouth is drawn away from your teeth, which have grown the ame color as your skin, in a kind of painful grin, and your lips are almost black. I am sure you are as ill as cver you can be, and those horrible inure, mics have all to do with it." What, Blanche had just said was true to a certain extent, > I looked ill. and I was, ill. A fever was consuming me. I consulted more than one doctor, but, had gained neither relief nor the satisfaction of knowing from what, disease 1 was suffering. Of course I was not superstitious like my women folk; I did not attribute my indisposition to my possession of tlie ���mummies. Nevertheless, until I had mado that descent into the crocodile mummy pit among the mountains above Maabde and had explored rhe temples of Aboo- samba 1 1 had not one day's illness within my recollection. 1 would get home as quickly as possible. Perhaps the climate disagreed with me, and 1 told theni as much and announced that we would go home. ���-"���You must leave thosehorridmummies behind." said Mary, "Leave my mummies behind!" 1 ex- c��'iimed. "Your request may seem mild to you; to me it is simply, outrageous. Vou forget that I risked my life to get- them. Those mummies fire of unspeakable value to me. 1 have no trca.-ures to equal them, and no sum of money, however large,',would induce me to part with t belli. When I get lfonie, I shall invite all my friends to the examination of ihem. I anticipate much pleasure and enlightenment from it." The following week, in fhe care of a. widely known nipdical practitioner, via Brindisi, my wife, her mother and her sister returned to England. I did the same on a vessel of the Pnpa'ganni line, with CHILDKEX'S COLUMN. AN OSCILLATING CANDLE. __. V/aH-Inu Beam TJ.r.t Is Easily r-JTadc, bat Wlti-Ii Is Very Int-resting". Tho little motor represented herewith operates not by steam, nor by electricity, nor by compressed r.ir: It po.sesss no boiler, no cylinder, no piston, and consists simply of a stearin candle. Let the r.ad- er take a candle and perform the experiment for himself. Insert in tho center of the candle and r.t right angles with it tho heads of two pins previously heated. Theso pins will constitute ihe axis cf the motor and are to be placed upon the edge of two EUSHY T*ILS. my two treasures close beside stateroom all the time. ine in my fig- I the j It was night. Upon"1 a large table in my museum lay tho incased, mummy of Amenof, and around it pressed a most eager assembly. Wc laid the muium.v on the table and then unwrapped its-many bandages from its body and limbs. Just as we began to examine the head (the head was always the object of particular attention with tho Egyptian em- balmers) the lamplight grew faint. I gave orders to havo it replenished, but was surprise to hear that 110 oil wa.s needed. ' As it burned dim and dimmer a vapor,arose from the mummy���a white vapor in which floated particles of blue light. By degrees these particles condensed about six feet above, the head of lhe mummy. As wo stood immovable, our eyes riveted upon it, it slowly assumed human form. First developed the eyes, then tho other features, and so on, until there stood before ns and above the nuinimy, the figure ofji man in the prime of life, with face and garb of an ancicnt'Egyptian This man seemed���and no one will convince me that ho was not���a's much alive ns any other man in thc room. None of us doubted it at the time.. When he spoke, tliere was no room for doubt. Webster did not understand ihe primitive Egyptian language, when spoken, therefore the materialized spirit of Amenof wrote in hieroglyphic characters what he desired to express to ns. He placed his right hand over tho region of the heart for a few seconds, then traced in space with liis index finger his wish. It stood out bright and clear in electric light: '���I, Amenof, command him who .removed my mortal remains from where they had rested in peace for 3,000 years' to replace lliem'within tho period of three moons. .This command obeyed, and health and long life to him and to his; this command disobeyed, and discvise and death to him and to his. Within the period of three moons renewed, life or speedy death. I, Amenof, will it so. Remember!" As the figure had come gradually into vicv.'i so it vanished, leaving us bewildered and afraid. 1 su ppose it is needless for me to inform you lhat I replaced tho mummy of Amenof in thc temple of Aboosambal, and that of the crocodile in the pit above Maabde. I regained health and strength from that day, and Mary is now as well as any woman in tho three kingdoms.��� Buffalo News ���wine glm-ses. If the two ends of thc candles nreJightod, they will liurn, and a drop of stearin will fall into one of the plates placed liene.-tth in order to receive ic. The equilibrium of the scale beam will bo broken, and t lie other end of the candle will de.-eend, causing tho end tliat lias just lost tho first drop of stearin to rise. This os- cillarory motion will cause several drops to fall from the end that, has just descend- od, and which 'in its turn becomes the lighter, and will therefore ,risu while the. other doseends, and Ihe osciiiafrjry motion, slight at iirst, will lake on a (,'ieater ,and greater amplitude, the candle, slightly inclined upon the horizon at first, finally taking a nearly vertical position. .Thero is nothing more interesting than to wntch this oscillatory morion, whicl: does not cease unless one blows our the two Haines or the two candles iire entirely consumed that is to say, at, fhoohdof half an hour. Jtf. now, it is desired to utilize the motion "of "the candle whilo��� it is in operation, it may be connected liy a thi<_ iron\viro with small figures cut; out of cardboard and jointed, to which it will give n to and fro motion. It may be considered'as tho walking beam of a Watt engine, and to eacli extremity may be connected a small piston moving, in n vertical cylinder. Finally, and more simply,,thero may be fixed to tho axis by means of pins, which will keep it at a distance in order, to prevent tho contact of the flames, n strip of light cardboard, representing a plank, to tho ex'- tremifcies of which may bo glued two figures! that will play n seesaw nnd thus render,the experiment still more ntrractivo to the young.���"Waterbury Magazine. Iio*--- Anir.-.-M Wlio Wr-i��r Tliom Utilize TIi_:j: In Winter. 'Smiio 01 our v.'iid animals," said a naturalist, "carry about with theni all summer that which nature has evidently intended as a substitute for their winter flannels. I rnejm their tails , of course. So far as I have been able to iudg-. thc bushy railed animals know no other use for their tails than as protection a��aiti5t the cold. Did you ever see a fox sleeping? That, is one sight of which the most patient student of wild life cannot always boast,'because a fox is always wide awake ajid has a general antipathy to being looked at. My own observations with sleeping ones have been confined to two thii.'l raised from pups. When.ic was cold, they would shrink up and seem fairly to w rap their tails about tl-em. When the air grew warmer, they would uncoil a little and sometimes discard the tail entirely, just about as impatiently a.s a sleeping'child will kick oil the covers when he gets too warm in the niglit. 1 do not think that this attitude i.s habitual with sleeping foxes. When the weather was warm, they did not curl up at all, but,lay sprawling, with their tails on'tho ground behind them. "The raccoon makes the same use of his tail. Bid you ever see ono preparing for a nap. , Like the fox, he goes to sleep on his side, but, he makes more fuss about it than a lazy lad getting up in t-he morning. First, ho hitches lip his shoulders aud arches his hack, iyid in tho cavity' tJius formed he carefully tucks' away, his knees and elbows and head. Then he brings his tail up close, tho end of it curving over his head.

Thc Russian tarsi mass in ono of tho most picturesque' of vehicles. The name troika, properly applied only to tho team of three horses which are hitched to tlio tarantass, is frequently used to designate the carriage and horses as a whole. The bow spring over the center or trotting horse is intended to lift in part tho weiglit of t he heavy shafts away from this much enduring animal, and the how also affords a lofty and conspicuous position for the bells, without which no tarantass could properly proceed on its way. The whole harness and rigging are, as it were, on springs, the system tending toward flexibility and not, rigidity. The idea of hanging the boatlike body of the tarantass on long birch poles i.s an exceedingly practical one. In the Iirst place this buckboard arrangement of springs i.s the only one that would withstand the fast driving over bad rouds which characterizes all ".iberian journeys; secondly, the birch is the most common wood in all north and central Russia and Siberia, and if one of the supporting poles of the carriage breaks on the road, it is a comparatively easy matter to replace it on the spot.

His 'friend laughed "at this, but tlie younger man, after a second time gauging tho size, insisted that his guess was correct. "Nonsense! Quite impossible!" exclaimed his friend.' -.

' But at, CiO miles an hour this fuel must be exerted for a given distance in half the timo that it is at 30 miles, so that tho amount of power exerted and steam generated in a given period of time must bo eight times as great at tho faster speed. This means tliat the capacity of tho boiler, cylinders and the other parts must bo greater, with a corresponding addition to tho weighc of tho liiae-hiiio. Obviously, therefore, if tho weight* per wheel, on acount of r.ha-liiiiii-.-ni'_���wait/ht- that tho rails will cany, is limited, we soon reach a point where tiie driving wheels and other parts cannot lie further enlarged, and then we reach the maximum of speed.

This weight starts from <a state of rest at, the end of each stroke of the piston and must; acquire a velocity of .'-. feet per second in one-twentieth of, a second,* and must be brought to a state of rest in tho samo period of time.

Mrs. Miu- ard has been a sufferer, from spinal disease und attendant complications, and to a reporter she recently gave the particulars of her cure. She said: "As,., result of the trouble I suffered terribly. At times the pain would be confined to my back, and at other times it seemed to affect every nerve in my body, from the,top of my head to my toes. A.s a result I was reduced greatly in strength, and was unable to stand upon "hiy feet long enough to attend to my household work. "When doing any kind of work which required a standing position I had to provide myself with a high eh air as a means of support. ��The medicine which the doctor prescribed for me did not seem to afford me more than temporary relief from the pain, and I was gradually growing weaker and weaker. Finally the doctor suggested that I should use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and acting on his advice I began to take them. I had onry used a few boxes when the agony f had suffered for months began to abate, and I began toregain my streugth. I con- tiiaued using the pill.s for a .short time longer, nnd was again in full possession of my health and strength, and able to do my household workr-VE have never enjoyed better health than I am doing at present.
