The announcement was received with applause. Several other matters of importance were taken up. One of these was the question of the Importation by the canneries of fresh salmon Naught ln American traps which waa affected by a change ln the ordinance recently introduced by J. D. Taylor. M. P. Another matter discussed waa the bill which the architects are trying to get passed to prevent anyone from drawing plans for a building estimated to cum more than $6U0. It was Mr. Turnbull who brought up the question of tbe flsh. He stated tbat the canneries had been in the habit of sending over to the other side for fresh salmon caught in the: American traps, so that they could, prevent the Fraser river fishermen from getting "fresh'' ln the matter of prices. J. D. Taylor had been instrumental ln altering tbis ordinance so that the local fishermen can now ship fresh flsh to the other side when better prices prevail south of the line. It was accordingly moved and carried that the Trades and Labor council send a telegram to J. D. Taylor, MP.,. heartily endorsing his action. Speaking on the architects' bill. Mosea B. Cotsworth stated that the result of such a law would be a. greet: hardship on workers who wese huilding their own homes.

B.C Balkans Likely to be 8CENE OF SKIRMISHING Vienna, Feb. 28.���That tbe breaking up of winter means serious trouble ln the Balkans Is firmly believed here. This ls really the Berlous side of the Halo-Turkish war. Campaigning is Impossible ln the Balkans In the winter, and this alone has prevented an outbreak before this which may well set all Europe aflame. The flrst outbreak ot trouble is anticipated on the side of Northern Albania, the usual period for the renewal of disturbance in this country being now only a few weks off. Notwithstanding the severe cold, the bands ln Northern Albania, increase from day to day, and conflicts with the troopB have already occurred In the district between Ipek and Mitrovvitza. In connection with the prospect ot coming trouble in Albania, the attitude of Montenegro suggests many misgivings here. King Nicholas bas neglected no means of retaining his Influence Wtth the Mallsseorl, who have been provided with fresh supplies of arms from over the Montenegrin frontier, while Montenegrin agents are stated to be active ln every part of northern Albania. Nick with Ausrla-Hungary. It ls now universally believed that King Nicholas has cast in his lot .vith Austria-Hungary, and that Montenegro can rio longer be reckoned on to join In opposing a prospective Austrian advance Into the sanjak of Novl- bazar. lt is certain that Kussia largely forfeited her Influence at Cettlngne by withdrawing last year the subvention she had hitherto accorded Montenegro, and the little state, unable to exist on Its own resources and burdened with the expenses incurred during the last Albania revolt, has been compelled to seek financial aid from Vienna. Whether the loan recently obtained from Austrian financiers on remarkably favorable terms involves indefinite political obligations, is unknown, but it probably does. The anxieties of the situation are increased by the attitude of Bulgaria. For some time past King Feruinand has been believed to pursue an Aus- trophle policy. During the crisis of 1908-09 Bulgaria acted loyally towards Servla and refused, it is believed, certain tempting offers at a moment when war with the dual monarchy seemed imminent. But Austrian Influence is now generally supposed to be predominant at Sofia. Prospect of Success Slender. It is feared ln Servla that, should Austria take advantage ot the t'Ou- bled situation in Turuey to make �� forward movement In the spring, Sev- via wiil find herself practically isolated and deprived of tne aid of her natural allies in the Ualkans. The pros- poet of succor from any of tne great^ powers is equally slender. While Italy Is engaged in war and the powers of the triple entente are absorbed by problems in Asia and Africa, Austria has ner hands free and needs only the assent of Germany to an aggressive movement in the Balkan peninsula. The land apparently Met, open, for ���j Turkey, it ls tnought, would scarcely MERCER! icsist an Austrian advance in view of ' ttie danger of a simultaneous attack on the i-irt of Bulgaria and Greece. The best hope for the situation would seem to be in the unwillingness of Germany to risk a further decline of her waning influence in Constantinople and in the well-known dlscllna- tion of the Emperor Francis Joseph to embark in a policy of adventure. The highly onfeiu.'.l will of bachelor Umll von Buzonly, brother of a Hungarian deputy, has excited interest. Ue waa 65, detested women, and was on had terms with all relatives. Although the owner of a great dei I of land, he lived so frugally that he did not spend the tenth part of his income.

There i.s another ponu, or lake, ai I a distance of a mile and a hail i Irom the first, and on this lake th< : swans were founJ to be with their young ones. The puzzle was to ki ow ��� how they got there. Tht lr ��� ug ! were so pinioned that they could not fly, and there were souk- verj tiff and close fences between the one pond and the other. Subsequently a countryman said he ���hitd seen one of them walking ovei 'the flelds that lie bstween the ponds, He had noticed nothing more than the I old swan walking, but there is little i doubt that had he been nearer or I looked closer he would lune seen that j it was carrying a cygnet, or the pair I of them on his back. Almost certainly the birds had walked and carrli d 1 their young with them from thc one i pond to the other. How they got through the fences is ��� still unexplained, nor it is understood I how they knew the second pond to j be there, since it does not seem that I they had ever visited lt before. But ; their wisdom and enterprise, wliich | were :;o highly commendable, were Justified by the results. They reared their cygnets success- i fully In this other pond wherein there 1 were no pike, a fact which wo might ��� almost fancy the swans, with their "l'uil out one gray hair and a dozen '������- i ta ��� it3 place" is an old saying, v : i i i-i, to a great extent, true, if no st' : staked to stop the cause.

Specialists say that ono of the best preparations to use is the old-fashioned "sage tea" which our grandparents used. The b"st preparation of this kind is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a preparation of domestic sage and sulphur, scientifically compounded with later discovered hair tonics and stimulants, the whole mixture being carefully balanced and tested by experts. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean and wholesome and perfectly .harmless. It refreshes dry, parched hair, removes dandruff ;.nd gradually restores faded or (rray hair to its natural color. Don't delay another minute. Start U ing Wyeth a Sajjo and Sulphur at once and see what a difference a few days' treatment will make in your hair.

An employe�� at the railway depot at Orleans, in making his rounds, saw a shaft of light coming from an Inner office. As it was about 3 a. m. ho knew robbers were at work. Softly ho tiptoed away and told the night station master. The two gathered all the available nlgbt force for a combined attack. They had not long to wait, for tn a few minutes two men csme out. Soolng their road cut off, they whipped out automatic revolvers and began firing as they ran. A "washer" employer at the Station fell, shot through the leg, and the station mas- j ter himself received a bullet in the thigh. The robbers escaped. j Two policemen learning in which direction they went, followed to Les Au- brais on bicycles. There they found that two men answering the descriptions had taken the train for Paris. Telegrams were sent to Augervllle and Etampes, the flrst and second stops after Les Aubrais, so when the train pulled into the former place gendarmes were waiting on the platform. The robbers saw them first, however, and Continental trains having side doors on either side of the coaches, ���can be taken as fact then the time of beauty in favor ot the comely matron of forty has at- rived. ��� For all this, and much more, too, Dr. Cecelle Lande, of 180 Claremont avenue, today ls the learned authority With ttie same fell swoop with which Dr. Lande knocks the crown of Venus from the heads of the blithesome maid of IS he snatches the sceptro of womanly perfection which has so long been held without question by the full-bloomed woman o! 30. ������ wii'i'iiHSEJ Woman at 40 Most Handsome According to the idea promulgated by Dr. Lande to the woman or 40 tne woman whose lap has necome fitted to the nestling form of many chit uren oo, ne la the happiness of penect matrimonial serenity���belongs the right to be called the handsomest type oi womanhood. In drawing his comparison Pr. Lande reters to the Princess Henry oi i-iess as the acknowledged "perfeel type" of womanly beauty of Kurope. "The beauty of the Princess Henry of Pless is wondertul," declared Dr. Lande, "and I will not hesitate to say nut iacre are many women here in New York of years equal to hers who are also equally as handsome. "In former years the woman of 30 was said to be the most perfect type of matured womanly beauty. But since those days we have learned new Ideas of hygiene and new ways of preserving and caring for our. physical selves, and the age limit of woman's most beautiful period has bounded from 30 to 40 years. "Tho majority of women of 40 have children, aud can any one picture a more beautiful thing than a well-cared "On the other hand, the girl who marrjes when all girls are 'giddy' does not want to be burdened with the cares of motherhood. She does not want to be held down by chi drcn. She wants pretty gowns and pleasure and excitement. She hasn't reached the womanly age, and, as a result, she will ;'o anything or retort to any means to l.eep a..ray the children. The result is hard-faced women of So, whosa coun- tances are lined with the unmistakable evidence of their folly. "But the woman who marries at 40 and boars the children God gives her is the ideal woman. She has accomplished the greatest mission and only hapi iness can be her portion.. On lb** other hand, tto worn.in who has not accomplished anything, has not been a mother, or has not devoted her life to professional and educational work is a failure, and do not make the mis- fake of failing to see that the world looks upon her as such. "Yes. the Princess Henry of P'.esi is a beautiful woman, and there are many thousands like her. I know a few nnd I know that they are lea'tl- ful because -they are happy in th^j knowledge of a life well spent." Princess Pless a Beauty. For flve years Princess Henry of j Pleas has been termed by all the most I beautiful woman in Kurope. Few, it'. any. will admit that her mother, 'Mrs. William Cornwnllis Wesl, whose beauty held reign in the Courtvif St. James tor many years, was more gracious or laacinaiing. Piobably iu all Europe there is no woman whose beauty has been so much written about and discussed in court aud other circles as that of Princess Pless. Princess Pless before her marriage to the Prince in London, December 8, 1881, was Miss Mary Theresia Olivia Cornwallis-West. No woman in England was so much sought by members of the royal blood as Mlss West. Her suitors were numbered by the score: her position at court assured and her beauty was the talk of England. . Princess Pless is not quite 40. She was born at Ruthlln Castle, the family seat of the Wests, in June, 1873. Princess Pless Is typical of the English beauty. She is tall and slender exceptionally graceful in all her movements, witb exceedingly fair complexion, violet blue eyes and possessing an abundance of fair hair. Tbey have three children, all boys, the eldest of whom will succeed to the title of the prince. The boys, like their mother, are experts at practically all outdoor sports, and spend much time in the open.

LOCAL FIGHTERS WEHE OUTCLASSED V. A. C. Won All But One Fiaht��� Snowball O'Connor Beat Hatch��� Freddie Welsh in Ring. There is no doubt about it. Tho V. A. U outclassed the local men at the jjoxms and wrostilng tournament hclil ,.#t His: urmoury lasi nignt. Westminster only won a single event, when Snowball O'Connor out-wreBtled Hatch, Several plucky fights, however, were put up, and the wrestling bout between Jack Talt and F. Smitn was -closely contested, while Pte. Home .stood up to Jackson, of the V. A. C. Ior tour rounds, the judges disagreeing after the schedule three rounds had been fought. An unfortunate case of the Judges disagreeing occurred ln thg liglit ���between Fitzgerald aud Bert Hughes, of the V. A. 0. Fitzgerald put up a plucky light for three rounds an^ took a lot of punishment. A fourth round was called for, and Hughes had tho misfortune to fracture the 104th man's Jaw, thus summarily ending the light. A mild sensation was caused during the evening by the appearance of Freddie Welsh, the famous English lightweight, in the ring. Chet Mclntyre was over with the Vancouver ���boys, while Fred Lynch refereed, and the judges were Johnny Lees and J. J. Daily. Tim Mahoney held the watch. A fair crowd was In attendance. The light between Pte. Home, of the 101th, and Jackson was fairly even, but from the exhibition he gave last night it does uot seem that Home would have had any chance against Ernie Barrleu, whose place Jackson was taking. In fact, It came rather as a surprise to some of the audience when the Judges gave contradictory ���decisions after the llrst three rounds and Fred Lynch did not have much difficulty in giving the decision to the Vancouver man. Stanley Ketchell and Morley, both from the Terminal City, knocked out Beeson and Postlethwaite very early ln their respective battles, which were very one-sided. The following were the results: Wre3t!ing, Snowball O'Connor, 104th, beat V. Hatch, of the V. A. C: F. Smith, V. A. C, beat Jack Tait, 101th. Boxing: Bert Hughes, V. A. C, beat Pte.

This ls tho mystery of the wedding *-mrhtg::'-vC**TT(m *olveir?'BSks th��r Chl- ���cago Tribune. Nobody as yet has been able to account for Its strange convolutions, but maybe you will be more clever. What makes the wedding ring iSWlllg? Why does it swing one way for a man and quite another way for a woman? It is the difference ln what wise men call "aura?" And a well Known London doctor has recently demonstrated that the aura of the male -and female differ widely. Wedding rings often make the people who wear them, and even other persons, behave In the most unac- -countable manner, but few of us have ever seen a wedding ring itself indulge In mysterious performances. And this is not a trick. Remember Ihat. It ls a scientific experiment, illustrating laws of physics, physiology or psychology. This ls the way to go about lt: Take a silver fork and place It before you on a polished wooden table. The fork should be at right angles from your body, with the handle nearest you. Seat yourself at the table. Tie a pieoe of ligJit string, about 15 Inches in length to a plain gold wedding ���ring. After the wedding ring has been lied to the extreme end of the string, wrap the other end of the string three times around the flrst Joint of the first finger on the right hand. Hold the string ln place around the first finger with the ball of the thumb ���of the same hand. Place your right ���elbow on the table beside the fork, with the forearm in a vertical position, and permit your hand to drop at .a right angle from the wrist. 'This allows the string with the wodding ring attached to hang directly over the fork. The ring must be suspended about ���one-quarter of an Inch above the fork, and as nearly as possible at Its centre. Place your left hand, flat and palm When Georgb V. Dines.

Thereupon tne cuef gives the iitcessary orciert ior provisions and remains in his kitchen until luncheon has been berveu. He is then at liberty to uepaii for a short period, returning at u o'clock, when he undertake* tne preparation of tne royal dinner. \v hen uns hab been accomplished he presents a ba. for the day's expenses and receives a cheque for the amount from the treasurer. This completes the che. s wo.k lor the day, says Harper s Weekly. But whKe he has been at worn In the kitchen he has cone much. A really wonderful process ot preparation has been carried out. When the king and queen, together with such other personages as may at the time be with them, are ready for dinner, the scene In the kitchen is one of per- lect order and discipline. Everything is in its proper place, and while the told dishes wllich were prepared during the morning stand waiting to be served such other items of the menu as are to be served hot are ready to tiie second. The royal chef walks around and superintends, but his assistants are so well drilled In their respective duties that he seldom needs to give an order, though here and there he offers a suggestion for the perfection of some dainty. Outside the door of the dining-room theie is an apartment where the final touches are given to the delicate and costly preparations. At Buckingham palace It contains a table upon which the dishes rest in readiness for their distribution to the tahle attendants. The man who wields authority here Is clad in immaculate evening dress and wears white gloves, and ln a voice that Is barely raised above a whisper he gives the minutest directions as to what 13 to be done with each particular item of the menu from the moment when it leaves the anterooms and passes finally from his care. Relays of men and women bearers convey all the dishes from the kitchen to the anteroom. The passages from the kitchen are long, with some awkward corners here and there, and In order to prevent collisions in the hurry of the work an ingenious arrangement of mirrors has been effected at these comers, so that the bearers may see whether the road ls clear for them.

Just before she sailed she was presented with a solid gold medal bearing on one side the inscription "F. I. Hatch, 189&-1911," and on the obverse, "From the Public of Ramachandrapuran." Miss Hatch had been ior many years in India when a visitor called attention to her native servant, who had been in her employ two years. She immediately took him to a physician, who diagnosed hls case as leprosy." When question, he admitted that his mother and sister had led pariah lives for years because of the disease, snd finally had drowned themselves to escape further ravage. That was the start of the leper colony at Ramachandrapuran. Mist Hatch had no jnoney���nothing but an abiding faith. Bit by bit the way opened. Land was given her, and helpers came.'

A. was piaotJcaiiy the lirst organization to recognize the value ana imporiance oi physical development, iu conjunction with the mental una moral upbuildin0 of men. lhe i.lea of the Y. M, C. A. phytlcal director of touay was not to produce h lew expert gymnasts, or athletes, but to give the average man the rihysical training necessary to enabie aim to develop and use all his other capabilities to tneir lui.est extent���to make him an all-round, capable man. This work was important to our cities and towns from the eo> DOtnic Standpoint, as investigation showed that poverty, squalor aud crime were almost luvariaoly tlie lesult of ill-health, uHd as ill-health was largely due to the neglect oi tne phybi- cal boJy, sickness resulted in a man's earning powers being Impaired, which, In turn, resulted in poverty, which frequently le.l to temptation and crime. Un tlie other hand the possession ot full physical vigor resulted in a man feeling and being competent and tit to undertake and carry out a manj part in life. The Y. M. c. a. gymnasium and Its leaders corps, Dr. Brown said, could be made, and should be, a factor ��� in the life of every city possessing aa association. In Calgary, for instance, ' the members of the leaders' corps act- led as voluntary instructors in the pub- | lie school gymnasiums; in Toronto tho Y. M. C. A. had given free instruction iu swimming to the boys and younjj men in the city, the association giving tho free use of its tank, at certain times, for Ibis work. It is probnb that, aa a rosult of Dr. Brown's visit, the local Y. M. C.
