Aston, Accidentally Shot by J. C. Hat lacker at the Powtr Plant on Sunday Morning, Finally Succumbs at 1 o'clock in the Afternoon of Same Day. The City of Cumberland and dirtrict were aroused to the sad and lamentable news last Sunday morning that George Herbert Aston had been accidentally shot by J. C. Harlacke, engineer at tha power plant of the Cumberland Electric Lighting Company. The sad news spread throughout ths city and district with great rapidity.' Upon further inquiry- It was found that Bert Aston, an he was commonly known, had left the Star Cafe late Saturday night in company with some of his friends and proceeded to the power plant, which is situated at the lower end of China town. It appears that Harlacke had expected Bert Aston down to visit him earlier in the eveninr,' they being personal friends and were Great Reforms Made Possible Londor, July 22. — Premier Asquith, in a speeh at Thornton-.'continually in one another's com hough, Cheshire, Saturday said 1 pany whenever opportunity af- that when the country, aftej- a forded.

IHIMi .V I III MUU, HI., »innt)..f AV.lt i, hat he has hitherto spent many days trying to ascertain. I'he simplicity of tho scheme recommends it strongly to our mind. After a liorse hns pnssed over such a piece of ground, a clerk with paper, pencil'iind tape line cnu iu a short time givo a shoer n chart showing his findings or communicate with him orally. Bet lis say, for example, a certain liorse strides one-hull' un inch further with his off hind leg thnn with its opposite mate. The shoer at once knows ull this particular horse needs is a shoe or an altered fool angle to shorten tho stride of thnt leg, or lengthen the stride of its congener as to the exigencies of the case or the judgment of the trainer deems best. I spom. from the vuutnge ground of u practical horseshoor, one who has tested many of the mothuds Herein set forth, and it is our belief that n chart or blue print presented to the shoer giving an infallible record of thu successive n.olfalls by Mr. .Ionian's system is suflicient to work on, so well known nre the rules for increusiiig and decreasing •action, und lengthening and shortening tho stride. Kvery shoer and trainor knows that: "Weight iu front inerenscB action nt tiie expense of extension," "Weight in buck increases extension nt the expense cf action." "A long toe iu front decreases the stride." "A long toe ia back decreases the stride." "A longer leg behind will have greater extension than its opposite mute," and mnny other shoeing axioms. Why, then, if we have the remedies at hand, does it take us so long to hung our pupils up? The answer cun only be found in the statement that the case hus been correctly diagnosed, We wish to assorvato that neither observation nor instantaneous photography will reveal what we wnnt to know—'that is, whether the forward and backward extension of a front leg and its diagonal mute nre syncronous in their movement nnd tiie footfalls equidistant nt each and every step for a given distance. This can only lie revealed iu one way— i.e., by actual measurements of the hoof imprints after a horse 1ms pnssed over the ground. This method uot only shows the discrepancies in gait und action, but tells us whether the subject is muviiig with euse or effort. A remarkable case is given on pages 49-50 which treats of Lou Dillon's gait. It is most surprising to find the uneven measurements in her stride. When thc test was made tb mure was moving at a 2:11 clip, which we would imagine a comfortable gait for her at that time, but a study of the measurements there presented prove the nmre was exerting herself to maintain that clip, which must mean she wus not in good condition on thut particular iluy. This idea carried out might do away with the searching of youngsters, or ht least we might lenrn from it when we had gone fnr enough. IS MAN" LOSING THE DRINK CRAVE IN tho Century Dr. U.

For two years he had tu wear gloves dny und night uii terrible was the pain and itching when the air got to the sores. Then came Zam-Buk! He tried it, just ns he hnd tried hundreds rf remedies before. Hut he noou found out thnt Zam-Buk wus different. Within n few weeks there were distinct signs of benefit, and a little perseverauee with this grent herbul balm resulted in whut he had given up all hope of— a complete cure! And the curo was no temporary euro. It was permanent, lie wns cured nearly three yeors ago, Interviewed tho other day, Mr, Marsh said: "Tho cure which Znm-Huk worked has been absolutely pormnncnt.

Consequently, Ger man people, scientific to the core, must set about relinquishing alcohol. Gemma Temperance Societies number more than 100,000. Temperance is included in the Prussian public school curricula.

The Hues went true, for thoy were thing by Bailors' hands to comrades in peril, and us Ihey were hauled in by the same unfaltering hands, the great wave caught the Cyclone's keel and began to drive her bodily upon the rocks the Prosco had just quitted. "Full speetl ahead!" roared the cap tain, as the Cyclone lifted to tho very crest of the wave. For one iuslnnt the seemingly doomed vessel, driven by its own power und the force of llie sen, seemed determined to rum a passage through tho sol itl rock.

Bqulor, of the United States Signal Corps, Practically the same I king has been dono with telegraphy for years, although four messages is the maximum so far sent with commercial success, Bqulor'a method, we are told in an editorial in The Electrical He- view and Western Electrician, is bused on the superposition of currents of different frequencies, with the uso of properly tuned transformers for isolating these at tho receiving end. Curiously enough, the rates of vibration chosen ore so high that they cannot be heard directly. The Bounds beard nt the receiver are due not to theBe rapid vibrations themselves but to the variation in what is called the "effective value" of the currents, which changes with audible frequency.

The great shaft quivered from end to end as it took tho rod-hot energy in at one end and gave it out at tlio oilier, whero tho screws wore wrestling with tho sea. Occasionally a heavy crush fell with tho forco of a railway train against tho straining sides of the ship} made thom tremble and spring in for a moment, but eould not break their strength. Death lurked all around them, too, and waa held back by ouly a few inchos of human-made restraint, l'nder taoir foet—how close no oue had any means of knowing in that awful run—hung jaggod rocks and sharp- edged ledges, tinder the Cyclone's keel aud threatening to rip it open from stem Itt stern at a touch; stUl the daring hoat. spurred forward by the will of that Intrepid muu in the oilskin coat, dashed fearlessly toward the liglit ahead. Tho waters hissed around the Cyclone's prow, then scurried along her sides in sullen nnger at their failure to retard her. They piled up in great, hills and sprung upon Iter from above, dc termined to overwhelm her with their Weight, Slie arcso majestically out of each exultant swirl and hurled them back in playful unconcern, her own speed undisturbed by their prowess The Cyclono was riding the waves now, instead of climbing them, and she managed to outstrip them two to one. Alrendy tho dismantled lighthouse arose, grim and sombre, out of the raging waters, in tho glare of the search* tight. The light on the wreck was gone; however, a portion of the hnll could still be seen lifting and falling with each passing billow, but still clinging forh-rnly to its place. It was a channel of constant menace, that passage ahead, with its plentiful carpet of reefs; but thf Cyclone poked her nose into it without faltering, an though in haste to meet her fnte. Her deck crew, drawn up by the mil, with lifeline coiled ready to cast, gave not a thought to the swinging boats upon wliich their own lives might soon depend. Their overy thought was center- 1 on the two figures clinging to the wreek, toward which they were so rapidly drifting, Suddenly the shuddering under their feet was stilled. The engines had stop ped, as though this bold invader of the deep, brought face to face with its Ircad enemy, was awed into silence. A mighty wave, a giant among its fellows, as tiiouglt awaiting the opportunity, darted upon them, measuring their strength nnd taunting them with its own overwhelming power as it approach- not only may a number of tolephono conversations bc thus carried on upon the same line, but it is possible to send at tho same timo telegraph messages, that is to Hay, messages whieh are transmitted with the ordinary key and received upon tho ordinary sounder. The principle of separation is here the same art with the telephono messages. 1' The method involved in this uew invention is so simple that, like many others, aftor it is onee explained one wonders why it has not been utilized be- tore. The operations nre similar to tho famous experiments of Ilelmltoltz in analyzing sound waves into their various constituents by the use of apparatus which was tuned to pick out the various components of a complex sound. The secret Of the success here lies in using for the various components employed froquencloa which are themselves isaudtble and therefore produce ao appreciable effect, in the telephone, for if thepe vibrations were tnken up by the diaphragm and were audible they would so interfere with the sound of the useful vibrations ns to disguise thom beyond recognition. "AeeoruUtg to Mr. Frank L, Perry, this is nol the first timo that more than tne telephone message has been nent over u single circuit. According to the claims of Mr. Perry, such a feat was performed in Chicago over two years ago. but without a knowledge of the method used by Mr. Perry it is impossible to makt any comparison between his accomplishment ami that achieved in the Washington laboratory. "Major Bquier is to be compliment- ed not only upon his evolution of what promises to be a very useful invention, but also upon his action in giving the best remits of his time and labor to the public. While many persons regard this as tho only proper thing to do in the case of one who is in the public, service, it ia not always thnt such obligations are recognized, so that tho public receives the benefit."

'" "'fiord relief without chance of injury. untoward circumstances arise from the Inevitable heating of the balloon covering, Immediately under the balloon there is to be a platform capable of accommodating n crew ,who will have to attend to tho steering, balancing, gas control, etc.; and below this agann, in tho place the car usually occupies, will bo a substantial boat, 30 feet, long aud about it feet beam. 'In the hold of this boat will be carried a motor of Home 40 horsepower, capable of revolving the air propeller, or, if adverse circumstances supervene, the screw of the boot when lowered into the water. Thisboat also carries a largo tank of gasoline, provisions, kitchen galley, ete. Numerous ingenious devices have been introduced, and that the scheme is practicable tor a certain distance may possibly be admitted, Itut the step from covering a few hundred miles to one ot some thousands over sea is a formidable one. lt may rot be too much to say that the risks increase with the Bquaro of the distance travorsed. One would liko to have more assurance on the questiou of navigation, or the accurate determination of position. Ocean currents of a slow-moving and well-recognized type, and of whose position the navigator itt perfectly aware, can work very disastrously on ships, and it seems not impossible but thut in the swifter and unknown aerial currents there may lurk a source of danger which has been very inadequately upprohend d. One can imagine circumstances in which the compass would become use less, and sextant observations more uncertain thuu on the unstable deck of a ship. Hut the dangers threatened from these sources are so obvious that we may bo sure they have been considered and provided for by the members of the committee of which we have spoken. Tht proper course for the airship to follow has been & matter of grave con Bldoratlon, The principle that deter mines the laying of a submarine cable does not apply here. The shortest course, naturally confined to high latitudes, is not the most suitable. The one factor to be considered is the prevailing direction of the wind, and tins, when known, will decide both the most ju die ions course and thc season or the year for the atfeihpt. The air-current known as the "trade wind." which carried the frail bark of Columbus to a safe haven in the West Indian Isles, will be selected to carry the first airship nbove the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. The trade winds secure a tolerably uni form current of air in a zone varying little from 20 dog. north latitude. In the winter and spring months a velocity of from 11 to lfi miles [ideally anticipated the mouths thai a disturbing cyclones, tempt will be made tho direction of thi to west decides that the aeronauts shall start from Europe and endeavor to reach America, Not only will the fofee and direction of this current prove of great assistance, but in the zone in which il obtains theit' its smnll variation in the daily temperature, Hince it is desirable lo keep the gas at a roaslant temperature, this fad Is also in favor Of the route, etc, of tho t-cheme. The groatc&t chance of buccobs, thor of ore, points lo a course which, starting from Cadiz, will pass by Madeira and Tenor ill'e, nntl maintaining a generally W. s, W. direction, will endeavor to make Porto Rlco. Thonco along the chain of islands loading In Havana, this course is easy. On leaving Culm, New Orleans will be the gaol, an.l finally across tbe States lo New Yuri;.

Supposing the experiment is carried to a successful issue, it will bo asked. What tloes it prove? What new scientific fact has been gained? What prospects does it open up for improved locomotion or more economical modes of transit? Wo must confess that, however dazzlingly the project may appeal to the imagination, however convincingly it displays the power of science and ingenuity, it will remain, we believe, a barren result. The promoters must naturally tnae a moro hopeful viow. It is for them to put forward some tempt* ing by-products as an inducement, or as an excuse, for the expenditure and the risk. They urge that meteorology will be provided with more exact knowledge of the behavior of the trade winds, and of tho motion of the upper atmosphere, while aeronautical problems will be studied on a settle which will remove the hindrances by which advance is now beset, and introduce processes that will revolutionize the ordinary methods of travel. Advocates of aviation foresee the construction of airships that will have a velocity which, combined with that of the trade wind, will transport the hardy aeronaut to America ih the short, space of fifty hours. We find it difficult to share these roseate views at least as the result, of a single experiment. What form aerial craft may bc destined to assume in the future "cannot bo predicted, but as far as can be seen at present, high velocities are limited to the heavier-than-air machines. By constantly increasing the velocity the area of the supporting surface may be us continuously reduced, ami this rule may point to the adoption of a form of helicopeter as the racing machine of the future. The possibilities of the dirigible balloon seem limited to being tho burden-bearing machine of the future, capable of carrying considerable tonnage al a low speed. In this capacity a verv useful career lies before it. WRECKING A BRIDGE BY ELECTRICITY ONE of tho most ingeniouB nses tt which electricity was ever pat wm in the wrecking of u bridge over the Wabash in Indiana, The bridge had been purchased by th« county authorities, who intended to replace it by a Bteel structure erected on tho old piers and abutments. The owner agreed to .remove the bridge in thirty daya. The task proved mueh greater than had been anticipated, bnt it was successfully accomplished. The chief difficulty lay in the short time agreed upon for the removal of tho bridge. Several wreckers to whom the matter was submitted declared that it would bo impossible within- thirty daye to pull down the old bridge without injury to the piers. The structure mighl be blown up with dynamite, but the explosion would also lostroy the piers. Were it fired, the heat would crack and injure the mason- of thr- bridge. The thirty days expire.1, nud an extension of one week was land j granted. The owner was at his wits' cml, when ho chanced upon an electrician who proposed, not to blow np ihe bridge, but lo bum it apart, His proposal was gladly accepted. Each span of lhe bridge was composed of three timbers each. The twenty-seven sills were tt) be cut simultaneously, so that tho spaa would drop between' the piers into the river, The cutting was to be accomplished by burning through the wood with loops of iron resistance made red hot by the passage of the electric current. The job was begun. Fifty-four resist ance loops were heated to* wreek each span, and the spans were wrecked one at a time, Suflicient current was used to heat the iron wires cherry-red. The resnlt was exactly the same'with everv span. Between the turning on of the current and the fall of the span an hour and forty minutes elapsed. Then the masa of tim bora fell Into the water well Inside the piers, so that thoy were uninjured. Thc cut made by the hot wire was sharp and clean, and the wood was not charred more than an inch from the place of fracture. , The whole operation took but a few hours. The current was first turned oo at about five o'clock in the morning, and at two in the afternoon the last span crashed down to the river bed. The metropolitan police of London look after 8,200 miles of reads and streets.

"I luppose there's no trouble In getting settlers for them!" "Trouble! Trouble! Yes, thero sure is lots o' trouble, but not in gettin' settlers for the farms; it's gettin' farms fer the settlers thnt makes the trouble. Fer tho fifty farms in this hero colony, ready for occupation in the spring, there ie received over a thousand applications —good, experienced men, too, farmers irho hev made a specialty o' horse breed tn', chicken raisin', dairyin', and sich tikp.

"I live at the Coast," T saiil apologetically, "and am rather out of touch with fanning interests, ray business is [umbering and cunning, and 1 have mighty little time outside these interests for anything els.*, f tun tell you.

This is the age of flying machines, automobiles, aud phonographs; but I've seldom heard of a more progressive scheme than this. J frankly agree with yon. I should say, as you do, that these British immigrants are very lucky fellows indeed, for they have nine chances out of len to succeed, and reacli independence at a jump, A man eae'i just fail, if he's any good! at all." And I nodded "g'od-bye" as 1 passed down tho car. BRITISH COLUMBIA FISHING AND FISH-LIFE TRAGEDY IP it's sport you want, good fishin' and huntin', you'd best come back with me." The speaker was a fisherman from British Columbia, a mar. who had his _,iort and earned his bread in a llttlo fishing smack on the Fraser River and along the Pacific, coast. He hud come back east to see "the folks," and they lunl expected him to stay, but ue would not, no, uot yet. Maybe in n few years, when he was ton old to fish, or do much inything, lie might come back, but hr did not know. There was a something in the swish of the tide aud the inell of the ocean and the rock of his little fisuiug smack out there that was acalling to him, and he wanted tt) go, Many a tourist who has visited tlio Pacific coast and who has bcen fortunate enough lo see the fishing boats leave Steveston on a Sunday evening will understand the desire of the lisli - orman in return to the life tlmt would nlwnys br- a-cnlllng him. Hundreds of boats gather in for the closo time, which is from iJ o'clock Saturday morning until i; o'clock Sunday evening, to allow Hie fish to get up the rivers to the spawning ground. Promptly at the hour of rolcuBO the little white sailboats, like a flock of large birds, unfurl their wings and skim out over the water. At lirst they appear to be going together, but Boon they an- spread far and wide over the rolling waves, dancing gaily along north, south, east nud west, until one by one thev disappear, each cureless little craft on a deadly purpose bent. Although fishing is spoken of as one of the lending industries of British Columbia, and there are some twelve thousand men engaged in fishing aud iu the canneries, the fringe of the industry has not yet oeen cut. Some idea of where British Columbia will stand in this industry in the future may be glean eil from thc fact that, although tho average annua! output for several years has been over six million dollars, SO per cent, of this is credited to salmon alone, which, except, halibut, is the only fish that has been taken in large quantities for commercial purposes. Thc reason that the salmon has fallen such an easy victim to mnn is due to its habits, and, by the way, thc name salmon does not properly belong to any fish In the Pacific. However, they have become the commercial salmon of the world, TllO so-called salmon is similar In form and habits to thoso found in the Atlantic, but their life history is different, that-is, ho far as it is known, which as yet is but slightly. But that slightly reveals whnt man wonld call a tragedy, Maybo in fish life it in nnt. The Sock-eyo or Blueback salmon is commercially the most important fish in British Columbia, and, like the other kinds of salmon, it generally deposits the spawn in lake fed or luko feeding streams, tho first of tho run pushing up lu tiie extreme head waters. This ron Is where tho tragedy begins. Ever} fourth year ia called "tho big yoar, the following yCar "the lean year." Why this iu hu uu one can tell, although mauy theories have beeu otferud. un tins fourth year the run in the Frasei Kiver has been known to bc so great Unit the fish have crowded and Bhovoil iu their eagerness to get up until Minn have been left oil the banks tu die, umi others have been bruised and battered iu the crowd. But many fish reach tin doslrod spawning grounds, and here if the lisli Iragedv. As soon as the spawi Is deposited tho tish ilie, both male ami fonialo. Some mini impulse urges thin <>n until they fulfil their mission in life, and theu maybe they hear the call tu ihe "fishes' paradise" where men do not fish. Anyway, whatever happen-, they die without a Bt niggle. A peeullat feature of this large run every fourth year in the Fraser is that it has n* marked counterpart in uny other rive: in the Province or un tho ,coast. No on-> has yet bootl nble to tell the life history of the young. It is ne: km,wii now long they live in the Presl \v:iicr before going out to sen, nor in anything known of Uu ir food In grounds in the salt wat or. It is be fleved thoy must live in the open sen, for they ure never found in lhe bay- aiul inlets, which aie su numeruiis along the coast, nor is anything seen of Ihen. again until the*fourth yeur, when there is another mad rush for the head water and after Hint dead fish line thr shore or float, belly up, down the river. Fishermen claim that fish have been marked in the big year wheu on theii' wny back to the ocean and that the same fish have been caught the fourth year nfter. This, however, has not been authenticated. A peculiar thing about the sulmon is the distortion the hends of the males undergo when going up the rivers. The Dog salmon and the Humpback get tlieir names because of this distortion. These, and also the Spring salmon and the Ooho, are valuable commercially in Brit' ish Columbia. Since so much has boen written about the unc.leanliness of canned meats, canned salmon has come in for its share of doubt, but a visit to a ennning factory in British Columbia usually dispels all qualms. Thero wns a time when much of the work in tho factories was done by hand, but that time is past, except in the smaller factories. In tho old days the fish were counted and put on taldes, behind which Chinnmen stood with large knives, and cut off the heads and tails and removed thc entrails. Now beside tbe table a large machine called the "Iron Chink" docs the worn of many Chinamen. Then in days gone by Indians washed thc fish aud scnl them on to be cut into pieces of a convenient size to go iuto cans. This work was done by hand, but now machinery does it all. After tne salmon is packet! in the cans, the cans are all soldered and are then put into test tanks. Here, if any flaws in soldering nre detected, the cans are set aside. If not, they are placed in a setort and subjected to a very high degree of heat which thoroughly conks thc fish. The cans are again" tested and then conveyed to the labelling and packing rooms. Care is taken lo insure cleanliness, aud to pie- vent contamination of all kinds. Halibut, as mentioned before, are commercially next in importance to the salmon, and they are found in great numbers in the north Pacific Ocean, But as yet only those banks most, easily reached have been fished, and they only to a limited extent. The halibut takeu average about fiO pounds, although thoy hnvo been known to weigh as high as .1(10 pounds. Tho larger ones arc, however, not quite so good for commercial purposes. "British Columbia boasts many other fish which might be of greut vnlue commercially, such as cod. herring. sturgeon, smelt, ami many others, but. so far. owing to the desire of capital to go to the salmon fisheries, where the results aro quick and sure, and nlso to the lack nr a good market, these fish have not been used commercially so much as they will bc when their value becomes better known. . But if it Is sport, and not money, that is wanted, it may be had amid thc most beautiful scenery, beside dozens of clear flowing rivers, and hundreds of crystal lakes. Vancouver Island hns as yet the most noted fishing resorts, but there is scarcely any place thnt one cannot "go fishin'."" and have reason to expect a good catch nf salmon trout or white fish. The Kootonay and Southern Yale are becoming noted as fishing resorts, and as the Province is opened up morn lakes and rivers will attract the man who finds pleasure with a hook nnd lino. British Columbia cannot help having a large fishing Industry for it has a const tine, including Vancouver Island and the Queen Chnrlotte Islands, of 15,- Q00 miles, protected from the ocean storms by thousands of islands and all the coast waters are teeming with life, life from the tiny sardine to the mighty whale. And the great advance made in salmon canning is but an Instance of whnt may be expected in the future. The first salmon cannery was established on the Fraser River in 1*70. and in that vear bnt H.NOO eases were seni out, valued nt $46,840. In 1900, 029,400 cases were packed, valued at $;i.n(,Hl.,i32, In 1905, which was a big year, the pack amounted to l.lfiS.OflO crises valued at *5.riS:i.nnn. Tn that year, for the first lime in its history, British Columbia superseded Nova Scotia as thc banner fish-producing Province of Canada. But thore is one danger that threatens the salmon fishing industry of British Columbia, the same dance- that threatens always whon game or fish arc too easily taken, and that is, that with so many clever devices for capturing the salmon before they enter the rivers not enough muy reach the spawning grounds tn keep up thc supply. Restrictive legislation has been attempted, but has tot proven very suecessful. To lessen the. danger the Canadian authorities have established several fish hatcheries. The first was built at Hon Accord on the Fraser River in 1S84, and since then nine others hnve been established, nnd the Dominion Fisheries Commission has recommended the establishment of several more, ft would seem that it would not be necessnry for a large number of fish to reach'the spawning grounds, for It is estimated that ench female salmon deposits not less thnn 35,000 eggs, so that if all were hatched, and wunn to maturity, no river would be lare;e enough to h/.M them. But it. is likely thnt not more thnn four per cont. arc even hatch ed, and of these a largo number eome to _inof bef&re tlieir four yeurs of life art nver, and they return to perform their function in the perpetuation of the race, The cost uf an ordinary fishing boai Used in salmon and coast fishing is abuul $BH). To this must be added the fixings- such as nets, lines, hooks, anchors, buoys, etc., which cuu be procured fur about $75, The capital nt present em ployed in the fishing industry of British i'oluiuliin, including whaling and seal lishing, is about 14,050,800, and th" value of the output fur 1908 was $0, 105.088. The whale and seal fisheries, whieh were ant mentioned above, are of snme value. The Pacific Wlm I ing Company has been operating for over four years, ts average cntch being over 000 wbuloa annually. This compauy employs fast steamers which dash up beside the uu BUS| ting monster, and kill it with n machine gun. The most common whale in British Columbia is the Sulphur Boi torn, which weighs on an average do I.m-, and is worlh over $500, The Right whale is more rare, but it is as valuable as ii is mre, and is worlh $10,00(1. Olhei whales nre the llumpbnek mid Finback whuh are less valuable than the Sulphur 111.Until. The huni ft.r seals in the fnr nortli was ut one time a profitable Industry but owing to restrictions ns a result id' the Behring Sea award the business lint decreased, until in 10OS th.' catch way onlv 4,054 skin, ns compared with fill, 000 skins in 1001.

Everything, tie says, is going to wrack and ruhi: "So fnr tho Portuguese Republic has carried out no reforms of any value. It has only aggravated the disorder that formerly prevailed in all departments of public life. Its legislation hus been incoherent. It evidently lacks men of judgment and experience. "What makes the middle classes still more doubtful about tho Republic is the stoppage of trade that nas resulted in Lisbon sinee its establishment. The best families arc leaving, and the shopkeepers nnd merchants find that they are badly out of pocket in consequence. There seems indeed to be nn exodus of well-to-do people from the country, "Tn Portugal tliere were at one time during November about one hundred different strikes going on simultaneous ly. To name a few of the concerns whose employes struck, there wore the Lisbon Gas and Klcctric Compnny; Lisbon Trnmcar Company; several important railways; weaving mills; flour mills; ferry-boats; boot factories; cork works; saw mills; silk weavers; swine killers. On November 17 even the students of lho Industrial Institute-~to thn number of two hundred—went ou strike. Schoolboys went on strike, and so did mid wives!

In faet. the conqueror in a war becomes eventually the chief sulTerer. In the dnys of ancient Rome fhe property of one nation could indeed bo bodily transferred, in tho shapo of Bla ves or commodities of value, to the territory of another nation} in tho Middle Ages tangible wealth in the shape of coin or other valuables wns easily carried oft as booty. Spanish adventurers could strip Americn of her gold nnd English admirals despoil thc Spanish treasure ships. Bnt this is not the case in these days of banks, credit, telegraph, and telephone, says this author, who expounds his main thesis in the columns of the Daily Mail (London), as follows; "My contention is that by reason of certnin economic phenomena peculiar *o our generat ioit—a syuchronized bank rate the world over, reacting bourses, and so on, largely the result of telegraph and telephone development during the last thirty yenrs—modern wealth has become intnngible in so far as nili- tary conquest is concerned, in that confiscation is bound to react injuriously on lhe cenflscator, and that, consequently it is impossible for oue country to enrich itself by subjugating another or by annexation; thnt, in short, conquest can no longer pay." Mr. "Angell" elaborates this theory at greater length in his book, which is being published simultaneously in the capitals of all the great Kuropeau powers und is spoken of with commendation by many competent critics. Ttie Edinburgh Review declares that the volume uill bring about "a rcvolu (inn more fundamental than that nf 1750." "This book may in years tu come prove to lie tin- Magna Charta i-f a new time." . . . "It is a great achievement nud an original and amazing work," says Public Opinion (London.. According to ihe Nation, another London publication, "no piece of pol Iticnl thinking has in recent years more stirred tne world which controls the movement of politics." The position taken by Mr. "Angell" he ill.isrrnles in his book by hypothetical as well as by net nal examples, Would Oermany be any richer, or (ler- man citizens have one penny morf in their pocKets, if Holland were annexed by tht> Oermnn Kmpiref lie talks of the pan Oermnnists of the Km pire as hypotbeticntly succeeding "in grouping into one groat Pr/wer all tue peofdes of the Oermnn ic race ur language in Kurope." and remarks: "Let us assume, that at the cost of great sacrifice, the greatest saciifit c which il is possible lo imagine a modern lvill?.cd nation making, lhis has been ccompllahed; and that Belgium and Holland and Oermany, Switzerland, and Austria hnvo all become part of the great iJorman hegemony; is there one Unnry Oermnn citizeu who would be Ie to'say that his well-being had in »ased by such a change? Oermany mid then 'own' Holland. Put would single German ciiizcn be tho rlehei for the ownership! The Hollander, from aving been the citizen, of a small and iisignifieant state, would become the itizen of a very great one. Would the tidlviduitl Hollander be any the richer r uny the better. We kuow that, ns matter of fact, neither the Oermnn nr the Hollander would be one whit lhe better, ami we know, also, as a matter of fact, that ia al! human prod ability, they would be a great deal the worse, Wo muy. indeed, sny the Hoi lander would eertiiinly be the worse in thnt he would havcoxchnilged fhe relatively light taxation and light military service of Holland for the mueh licnvlor taxation and the much longer military service of tho 'great' Oerman Empire," Putting aside all sentimental chauvinism and jingoism, und coming down tit actual economic facts, he declares that navies, great nr small, cannot control the prosperity of nations, and "the great illusion is that men are speculating about a war, an Invasion, or a victory which could hnve uo influence on thu money markets id the world. To quote his words: "We nre concerned with the case of fully civilized rival nations in fully occupied territory, and the fact of con [tiering such territory gives to the con queror no material ndvantage which he eould not have had without conquest. And in these conditions—the realities of thc political world ns we find it to- lay—'domination,' or 'predominance nf armament,' or the 'command of the sen,' can do nothing for commerce nnd industry or general well-being; wo may build fifty Dreadnoughts and not sell so much a* a penknife the morn in consequence. We might conouer Oermany to-morrow, nnd she find that we could not. because of the fact, make a single Knglishman a shilling's worth tho richer in consequenco, the war indemnity notwithstanding," A good exumple of the futility of conquest by the sword is furnished by the results of thc Krancu Prutthian Wai, by wnicli Oermany gained a vast mui as indemnity and a huge slice of terri tory. Yet Mr. Angell says of this, that "from n money point uf view thc mosi successful war ever recorded in hint ory: "If lhe general proposition last co* quest pays were sound, and if thc results of the war were a uy thing like as brilliant as they arc represented, money should be cheaper and mor* plentiful iu Oeruiany than In Knuu-v and credit, public and private, should be sounder.

CUXBUKOANU. B.C. fit MAGIC BAKING POWDER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM! IN YOUR GROCERY ORDER —SEE THAT YOU GET IT I COSTS NO MORE THAN THE I ORDINARY KINDS I CONTAINS NO ALUM DAME FASHION'S DECREES HOW we fly to our furs at the Ilrst nip in flic air, ami bow pleased wo are to twine them around us, however unwelcome winter may be in other respects! It is vory much a case of "twining" just now, I'or the fur stoics, probably to compete with the mull's, are getting wider end wider. Tho stole we considered iimple a year ago seems iimigiiiflennt now, nml the muff we considered Immense « mor* pigmy. A girl I know hns freshened her last winter's set most cleverly. The edges of her stole and inulT had Buffered, and so she bethought herself of giving to both of them a border of really marvellous imitation Persian lamb. N»t only are stole and muff now wider, but infinitely su- Eluo Satin Tailor Gowu perior iu efi'ect. I have an idea lhat the suit, of fur, a thing oft oner seen in Paris than in Loudon, might be evolved rather well from fabrics which simulate tins or that a suit ei. say, velveteen might lie trimmed with imitation Persian lauib, or mule cloth with the equally wonderful imitation moleskin, Then, to talk of costly things, have you noticed how very much the element of design is entering inlo the com- position of the fur set, how aa ermine set is almost sure to bo cunningly planned with borders of skunk, fox, or even molchkini' Apropos of this, very soft nml charming is the union of tailless ermine and smoked fo\'. Admirable, too, is the merging of ermine and tuolesUin, but not so ollVctive an when the bordering fur is of the fluffy long-haired description. Another new and delightful idea is the using of white nud black loxsltins together, A very notable sot Imd the mull' of black fox. bordered each side with white, tud in the stole the white fox skins crossed from shoulder to shoulder at the back. The sable stole, au item now only t« be bought by the wealthy, is still occasionally made wide on the shoulder after Ihe pelerine idea, toil La more often arranged as a long, wide nud straight scarf, ami is frequently lined with ermine. The tails with wliich formerly the sable stole was profusely adorned are now relegated to thc endit of tho stole, whilst the ermine lining, if there bo one, nill probably have its tails also reserved to decorate the •uds ouly, where lliey arc sewn tlat on the fnr. This is altogether a good idea, iu my opinion, as 1 have never thought ermine tails dangle successfully. With regard to lhe fur trimming ol' coats, apart from the fur set, huve you uol iced how popular is the "high to thc neck" build of coat finished with a close, cosy tine of fur at the throat/ Several oi the velvet suits I have scon huve this cosy, picturesque touch. Indeed, what wilh big muffs aiul sloles, and hats lhat, like ft helmet, protect tho whole heud, cosiness forms n con- h|hcuuiis feature of thc present day fashions. An evening coat that I admired was of Persian blue charmeusn, nml had, tight up to Iho chin, a line of chinchilla, whicli was, of course, echoed ut the wrist, and massive motif's of chinchilla gray embroidery fastening Ihe coat to the side, I uui much enamored of the motif matching the fir, although it is not at the moment a conspicuous feature. Muny of the fur and velvet coats are also cut high to the neck, with generally a sido fastening, this giving them something of the Russian air, especially when the line of fur encircling the coat is carried down to border lhe double- breasted ell'ect and is finished with lovely buttons, or else occasional square motifs to serve the same end. Fashion will tccasionally indulge in extremes, and many of the long oonts have lung, bold, draped revers. The "happy medium" is at the moment conspicuous by its absonco where details are concerned, these in many cases being daring, even when Ue principal garment is governed by the spirit of moderation. A girl who garbs herself in a decorous suit uf serge, which ia sufllciently roomy in the skirt to permit her to walk easily, will throw over it a monstrously big fur set, will woman immensely wide hnt, and will carry a handbag dangling from extraordinarily long, plaited cord handles which indeed permit of the bag being slung over the shoulder to take care of itself. ' e f # Though the leading Paris dressmakers and milliners Iftiinch the majority of their Hanson's models at the beginning of the spring and nil tu inn, their fertile brains uro constantly crenting some new surprise for us throughout the year. We notice every fresh nttempt on the pnrt. of these important ostnbPshmnots either nt the •••"•■•<■■ •'••-' rMlor. skating rinks or at the afternoon bridge, receptions and dress rehearsals. Of lute, a novel arrangement of jet for evening wear has come to the fore, and I noted the revival of jet trimmings and tunics, n fashion that has been discarded since the last twelve or fourtoen months. Hut a skilful Paris couturier has again introduced thc spangled and fringed tunic, and, judging from the way this material is now adopted, there is every reason to believe that jet will once moro become first favorite. The dress thut created somewhat of a sensation at this particular dress rehearsal was in cerise Liberty satin veiled with pink mousseline do soie. Thc muslin wus covered in its turn with the fringed jet tunic. The novel effect here consisted of it gold tulle scarf fringed with gold beads draped uround the figure a In Carmen, lu this manner one side of tim black nnd pink bodice wns not veiled with the gold, The combination of theso four thin materials in difVeront colorings was ox- qulsite. A frock I saw the other day was of charineuHo right away down to a point midway between the knee and the instep, whence it wns bordered with black velvet headed by skunk. Worthy of note, too, is an all-in-one frock of whilo crepe do chine, striped with black velvet, bordered from a little below tho knees with plain black velvet, tins, of course, repeated on the bodice, Then tho exclusive cou- tnrior is blending Ottoman silk nnd velvet, a blending one might expect lo be heavy if it were not for tho extreme simplicity and skitnpiness of the bifild of both frocks and tailor suits at fhe moment. A frock of dark green Ottoman silk was bordered with dark green velvet, and owned a coat of the velvet with skunk bordering the base of the sleeves and outlining the neck. Thc coat was cut high in the double- breastod fashion, a chnrocterlstic of wliich I havo a word to say. This making of a coat high to the neck, which 1 have noticed in both tailor suits and big evening coats, is another instance of the desiro to get away from tho expected. In the latter case 1 consider it a very sensible movo and a reform us well, the result being most becoming when tho tour do eon is of chinchilla or ermine. Foiling fur, T have known a velvet, a satin, or even a cloth coat, finished by a stole eravat of the throw-over kind, mado of tho fabric .-■■;"-:": ■ T.'

This Iligh-tC-the-uccl. build bus a pleasnut harmony of line wilh the side fastening that one sees in so many of lhe newest coats. A very protty coat of blaek velvet, which its owner is using for bolh day ami evening, is trimmed with natural gray opposum. Fastening high to the neck, wilh just such a stole ns I have devribe I of the opposum, the coat is double-breasted, bur from the waist wraps so mueh to the left, that the fastening is ,is far around us the side line of the figure. The fastening consists of a row of good-sized braided buttons over whieh slip loops of rat-tail, reaching to the base of the coat. It is lined with satin in n lovely shade of pink, nlmost salmon, and nround tko edge of this lining runs a plait of silver Kussinn braid, a very pretty finish. Another means by which exclusive fashion strikes a different note is thc sub stituting of crepe satin for the ordinary kind. T nm not at all sum that the crepe satin is as beautiful as the plain, but it is n change and more expensive, and theroforo not so neccssiblo to nil, 1 saw a rather good coat and skirt recently in blnck crepe satin, but I attributed most of its elegance to the very slim figure of its wearer. CHANGING FASHIONS AND PER MANENT GOOD TASTE V\J UV do so many wuineii fail to ren V* li/.e that at uo other timo are their boots and undorskirt so plainly in ovldence us iu outdoor exor cises and sportsf It is a matter for surprise that a wo man who understands the need of a special skirt uud coat of some sort for the open air docs not grasp tho fact thai her hoots arc of tho greatest importance, and her underskirt, if sho wears one, scarcely less so. The woman who knows what is lit will select a plain, substantial boot, black or tan, dull-finished, waterproof, with sensible ■ heels and laced, for her walks or spurts. The high heel, tho bright finish, the buttoned closing, aro all out of place Oil lhe boot intended for strenuous wear, This bout Bhould be of a conservative, standard mako, and rigidly destitute of any "fancy" features of stitching and slyle. Its laces should nlwnys look strung and new, nml the frayed, knotted shoestring should never be tolerated. Have always ut hand a bunch of new strings, whether bluck or brown, and then the sudden breuk which so often happens in the procoss of lacing will never find ynu unfurnished. Keep the heels absolutely straight by frequent trips to the repairer's, ami always dn wet bonis over trees that fit them. This will keep them iu good shape, and you will find that your care will amply repay you, for wellcared-for boots wear long and look well until completely worn out. Wheu you buy your bonis, usk thn salesman's advice about dressing for tho leather, und follow il, for people who bundle leatlier all the time nre very wise about its proper troutmont. An astonishing number of mon observe, iu the minutest fashion, women's feet and how they aro shod. Do not lie found wanting when you come under scrutiny in that respect, nnd remember that whilo the defects of houso shoos may pass unobserved under long skirtB, tho short skirts aud free movement of open-air lifo throw the foot into great prominence. For the outing underskirt it is well worth while to go to some troublo nud expense for the fascinating effect of a pretty flounce that appears nnd disappears in tho quick motions of skating, country walking, etc., is n distinct element of feminine charm. Of course, for rain the underskirt should be durable, and of a material thnt could stand a visit to the tub, if necessary, to remove ull stnin of mud. But the fair weathor uutdun.r skirt has a different purpose and can therefore havo different materials und stylo. A silk or sateen foundation, mado perfect-lifting on tho new close-fit linns, will do nway with all unsightly bunches of strings. A material of silky surface will be found moro practical because tho heavy outdoor skirt slides and hangs easily over it. Tho jersey-top pot- ticonts aro not good for this purpose because the skirt sticks to their rough fibres. Of course, if tho jersey top is woven of silk, that would make it all right for thc garment, now under con- sideration. , Make your skirt knee-length, on the modified habit-back pattern, but wide enough for the freest motions. Then mako or buy ono of tho now adjustable flounces that cnn bo had in so many charming colors and effects, and put it onto the body of your skirt with the clever little drawstring, Presto! Your little plain, simply-mudc petticoat becomes at ouce a garment of charm and distinctiou. A clever womnn who can make her own simpler clothes cnn easily construct- this underskirt for herself, and if she makes or buys several of the uew adjustable flounces sho can keep her outing underskirt in perfect harmony with the touch of color she shows at waist or neck or in her outing hat or cap. There is an indescribable look of refinement and "class" about the woman who shows taste and fastidiousness throughout her ont iro wardrobe. Boar in mind that clothes themselves can be 'nther attractive or repellent. Theiv is no need of having any but the former kind. DETAILS THAT MAKE OR MAR A COSTUME rPH'K Knglish women design and wear L their outing eloi lies better than any other women in lhe world, so a cosmopolitan observer has declared.

The Knglish woman does otherwise, lf the popular mako of sweater docsu't suit her, she calmly disregards it and belts herself into u becoming Norfolk jacket thnt reveals all hor most feminine curves. She has nover neglected tho iinn-o'-Shunter cap, which iu America has been given over to childhood, and she still wears it on hcr yacht, on the moors, on the links. She will not bo deprived of the convenience of pockets in her outing clothes, and insists on having them in her coat nnd skirt. Sko sensibly wears thick outing boots that protect her feet from the wet, and her waterproof skirt will withstand a heavy rain. Underneath this outing skirt sho wears in winter the warm knit ".(nickers," as she calls the knee-length divided garment that enables her to dispense with all troublesome underskirts. All her outing things, for travel, for bad weather and for Bports aro most curo- fully planned, and she never makes the profound esthetic mistake of allowing any silly attempt at mere prettiness iu an outdoor article that the first bad day or hard day would, she knows perfectly well, reduce to a pitiful rag. There seems to be no good reason why the American woman should not adopt the good points of tho Knglish woman's wardrobe aud mnke them all her own in her own charming way. Then we should see no more of walking boots with high heels or trimmed sweaters- heaven deliver us—and similar offences against' fitness and good taste. The style and finish of a garment should na* luriilly come from tho nature of its material and its destined use. This is especially true of outing clothes. SOME GOOD POINTS ON WATERING HORSES A SUPPLY of waler is essential to tho health of nil farm animals. Jt should be ut their disposal all the time. But us this is not possible while the animals are at work, certain restrictions should bo exercised in the caso of working animals. This is especially necessary in the case of the horse, because his stomach is smaller in proportion to his size thuu of the other domestic animals, and us a consequonco he is more liable to suffer from digestive troubles than nre iiiminnnts, in the case of the slomach being overloaded with waler or anything else. A great variety of opinions is expressed as to just how, when and where horses should get their waler; some men will water before feeding, sonic after, ninl some will allow a horse nil Ihe water he wants and others will restrict him. And each thinks he has the best plan, and as men uf all those opinions will show line, healthy- looking horses as the result of their treatment, it would almost lead an uninterested observer to think it didn't make much difference what plan was adopted. However, n study of the heallh of animals as related to water seems tu point strongly to the theory thai in order to give a horse the best possible chance of digesting his food he should gel his water first and the solid part of his food afterward. Horses should be watered before breakfast, It will probably tako some time and trouble to educate them to do this, as most horses will icfiise to ili ink till after helng fed. A little porscvor' ance, however, will accomplish it all rlghl and the owner will be repaid for his trouble by tllO increased thrift of his louses. Thoy will make a bettor use of Ihe food Ihey eet, will not be so like ly (0 sutler from digestive troubles, and be iu Oil-round better condition. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, the water whieh a liorse drinks remains only for a very shorl time iu the slomach, but is soon washed back Into the i litest Sues. As u consequonco if a horse (afler having eaten n hearty meal) is fflvon a drink of waler. a con atdernblo portion of the food which he ate will bo pushed inlo fhe intestines with the water, and that iiimh food will be lost to tne pnrposo for wliich it was intended, vi/.., the nourishment of the body. And. secondly, not only are Ihose particles of food lost, but they ate ipiite liable to dorango the healthy action of the intestines by setting np colic, some form of Indigestion or diarrhoea. On lhe other hand, wnen n horse has had his water firsf nnd his solid food after, bv the time he has eaten only a small piirt of his breakfast the water will all have passed cn out of the stomach, uo solids will have been washed out nnd the digestive fluids will have a much better chnncr to do Minir work nrnper- ly thun if dilutod with a quantity of The most obstinate corns aud warts fail to resist !lolloway*s Corn Cure. Trv I wuter. It is always proper to let a horse have a little water after hli meal, too, but if he has taken a good drink before his meat he will not take very much after It. It is not wise to nllow a very thirsty horse all the water ho will drink, either before or affer a severe work or after feeding, If a horse has doue some very heavy work from which he is excessively weuiv he should not be ulloweil much waler till he has rested a while. (Jive him 11 little, and after au hour or two of rest give him all he wants, tt jb also bad practice to put a liorse to any severe exercise, such as fust driving or moving heavy loads, immediately after having laken a hearty drink, bacnune thu engorged stomach is pressing forward against thc lung space ami crowding the lungs to such un extent that they cannot properly perform their natural functions. This is especially noticeable in the case of a horso with heaves. Such an animal should (if at all possible) bo watered ofteu ami only u little at a time; ot course, a full drink always to be allowed at night, A horso is seldom too warm U water. Ho may be sweating very freely and yet not be so very much heated; he certainly is not -likely to be so very hot as to render it dangerouii to allow him ut least a littlo water. It ia a very cruel thing to put a thirsty horse in the stall and compel! him to munch bin hay nnd oats wliile his mouth and throat are parches with thirst and his whole system crying out for water. It may be laid down as a rule that a liorse doing uny kind of ordinary work under ordinary conditions is not too hot to ' water even though he mny bc sweating freely. This is especially the case if the animal has been used to it. If a farmer in the spring months starts to water ins team when they eome iu to dinner from the fields, even though tbey bo a little warm, ho need have no fear when summer comes if he briugs them in some uot day from the binder apparently quite warm to let thom have all tho water thev want. Of course, exceptions to this rule may occur; a little discretion is desirable in everything, but farm horses are not too hot to water nearly as often as many horse owners suppose.
