Edmonds, B.C., Marcli 2, 1912. Precedence Among Servants���"oot man Gives Duchess a Lesson. French footmen are rising up in protest against the wearing of livery Yet it was once considered an ornament, almost a coat of arms. When the Marquis of Genlis found that one of his servants was a pois- er, instead of delivering him up to justice, he gave him notice, after having had him ceremoniously unfrocked. "Burn that suit," was his order; "no servant would care to wear it after him." In those times the servants' hall Jealously kept np a certain table of precedence, headed by the chaplain and descending to the footmen, who "were expected to do obeisance to the principal domestics." The Duchess de Lillian wis given a little lesson in this table by one of her footmen. Coming back from a walk, she exclaimed, "I'm dying of hunger! Quick, bring me something to eat'." A footman vnaa present, but he oaly | knit his brows. Not an inch did ho stir. The duchess reiterated her com- I mand angrily. The footmin stood as still as a statue. Finally he uttered I these words with the solemnity of a Judge; "The steward is not here." H3 ; knew his duty; the duchess had for- I gotten hers. She had to continue dv- i ing of hunger, as her steward was not present. After dressing their master ln tho morning the valets found time hang- i lng heavily on their hands, wherefote Abbe Fletiry In 1688 advised them to study mathematics, music, drawing and surgery in the.r leisure moments. He considered that such pursuit i were quite as congenial to their profession as the arts of hail dressing, tailoring and upholstering. Tirewomen, observed the good abbe, should refrain from decorating the hair of their mistress more than they were positively ordered to. Besides this, "let them avoid balls, comedies, and especially the opera, if they are not obliged to accompany their mistress there, and If she does compel them to attend, and that often, let them not stay long ln her service." Valuta and maids were not always content to wait for the cast-o.7 clothing of their masters and mistresses, and sometimes anticipated the event. They felt that they made part of the family, and were entitled to take tho initiative. So It was that Abbe Fuse*, thinking In 1775 Ihat he was approaching the end of hls life, bad a leaden coif in brought into his room, and then said lo hls valet: "Here Is my last coat. I hope It. will not entei' your head to rob mo Of this one."���I.e journal des Debuts 50 PEOPLE TWO Carloads Of Scenery It's One Big NOISE from Maine to California.

Certain weeping Jeremiahs have mounted to the top pessimistic poultry perch to prophesy that the poultry business Is'soon going to be over- done-thls fn fuce of tbe fact thai the world Is hungry for fresh eggs and chicken and never bave poultry products commanded such high prices. Last year New York alone consumed 33.0C0 miles of eggs, these 1.410.000. 000 eggs selling for as high as lfi cents per do7.eu when strictly fresh nnd still there was demand. In 1010 Furls got away with 20,000 tons ol poultry nnd 21,000 tons of eggs, and the market was short. Last year Ger many produced 270,000 tons of poultrj nnd eggs nnd quit exporting because of scarcity at home, while England has the "high strikes" because she can't produce enough eggs for home consumption nnd nations on whom she depended have quit exporting. Dedprocity or no reciprocity. Canada ls yelling for f:esh eggs, and prices there were so much higher last your than in this country that over 1.000.- 000 eggs were shipped ncross. Tn 1010 225,000.000 dozen more eggs were produced in the United fttntes than iu 1!X)0. nnd the price for A No. I wus unprecedented. The egg crop of this country. In pro- j portion to the population, allows each ! person about one-half nn egg [ier d:i.v i If nil ure used for domestic purposes. | but n lnrge part of It goes to the arts [and the trades, so thnt ench human. If the remainder were '1'vlded evenly. would g?t a mighty small fraction of an egg dully. New Vork Is the gront egj; jmrket of the l'nited Suites.

It I.s estimated at Washington tlyit Inst year's poultry product reached $720.0(10.000. Was tbnt egg you used for nog. that chicken you fed preacher, counted?

QUEUELESS CHINESE TOWN. How Soldiers at Kashing Enforced Magistrate's Orders. A week or so ago our Pen Fu ordered every man's Queue Cut off. Many at once did so, but the business men were opposed- Also some other classes. So the magistrate wrote a conciliatory proclamation, delaying the time a few days. Then he resorted to the method, qf appointing a great gathering of'Chinese of all sbrt9 especially the soldiers, at the Hashing Fu .Sciiool.- ������ - ��� ��� i tm-} The only requirement for entrance was a "queueless head." About 1000 were present. Then Fu himself with his officers appeared before the people and gave an account of the history of the Kuh-mintang movements in Hashing. One of the most interesting features of the occasion was the presentation of the volunteers of a number of goodly presents, from rice in quality to dressed pigs and other delicacies of all sorts. This for their faithfulness to the cause and a mark of the respect and sympathy of the people who were In and around Hashing. But all the above methods failed to secure the shopmen's queues and also those of many other people. So finally the magistrate set a day and proclaimed that every man not having his queue off by the time set. wruld be compelled to cut the badge of Manchu servitude off and relegate it to tbe waste basket. So in due season soldiers were stationed at the gate recently and many- were the queues sacrificed. Many I were the howls of some of those whoEe dignity, in their estimation, was thus lost forever!

Hugh Chapman. ���iMeantimo perhaps the extremists would be sac- lstieu if a man wore a ring is well a3 the woman���the practice on the Continent. Perhaps tney will some day.' In England it ia not the custom for meu to wear such rings, and that is the anBwor given whenever the suggestion is brought forward. But it doeB not follow that what is not th3 custom now should not be the custom next year, or next week for that matter. It is the age of progress, ancl It would surely be a matter of progression wero boom definite rule la.ddow.i that when a man marries ho should carry som ��� t.'dfio which would Identify hlm lrom his single brethren. There uiu a ceitain number of Be'.- cher rilles worn by men, sometime* on the l.Kirth, or little Unger, and sometimes un the third linger of the left hand. These rings are very broad, plain circlets of gold, and morj ofton than not are affected b.v bachelors, merely aa an ornament, In a fe*- cases they aro used as wedding rings by men. Well-known firms oi jewel- era aay that the proportion of wedding rings sold in pairs, that is, on? for the bridegroom and one for tha bride, Is comparatively small. But when a foreigner marries an Englishwoman ho very often orders two tings; when two foreigners marry in England it Ib generally Ihe i ule for each of them to hive a ring. Therefore, it la to foreigners living in [England that wedding rings for men ara largely sold. The man's ring Is much narrower Uiun tho "llclcher" ring, and, therefore, once the. difference between the two Btyles became' generally known il could not be confound- ed with It. In days gone by���In the sixteenth seventeenth and eighteenth centuries ���when people were not po m.it ter offset as they are now and had more time, i>��fhapa. to think of sentiment, It was the fashion lo have a motto or "posy" engraved inside of the wedding ring; many beautiful thoughts were hidden away under the plain gold circlet which adorned a woman's hand. Many, no doubt, are familiar with the French motto, "Apres Dion ��'est loi que, Je t'uiine," and perhaps the Kngiish motto is somewhat similar, "In Gol and thee all comfort be." Another poBy reads, "In weal and woo my love I'll show," and "Joy and care let vn take shurc," and most praiseworthy Is the wish, "I,ovo and respect I do expect." which Is the expectation of every wife, no doubt, The posy, "liove Is sure where filth Is pure," Ii another beautiful sentiment, ajid equally so, "Nol mine, nor thine, but ourB;" a slightly different version reads, "Not two, but one, till life be done." An inscription found in a.i old wedding riir; ran, "Virtue pnflsetb ricbec," anl in another, "Whllai life is myn my heart ia tbyn," and ii Is to lie ho|.ed thli the maiden Whoae rlns liore lhe rosy "Let love abide tii! death divide" had do iea.;on I t r j;rot.--r'aII Mall Gazette.

Many of the signatures bo obtained are of persons residing in Eastern Canada and in the cities of the United States.

They have been credibly informed that men employed by the government ln surveying publlc lands have at the same time been receiving pay from land speculators as agents for staking the very lands they were engaged to survey for the government. This whole process of acquiring public lands Is carried to completion in the names of the persons who have Bigned the powers of attorney (in consideration of a drink or a dollar or sometimes both), but the speculator gets possession of the Crown Grant and he is able by virtue of hls rower of attorney to transfer the lands to any person he sees flt.

They took the crudest methods and parcelled the resources of the province out to speculators for whatever was offered, and because their feeble efforts have resulted In obtaining from the alienation of ten millon acres of timber a corresponding number of dollars for which they had no immediate use, they set up a great shout of "SEE HOW WISE WE ARE," and every pop-fed newspaper, and every satelite from road boss to deputy minister reechoes the cry.

Government Retarding Settlement. Immense tracts of land acquired by speculators as above described, together with large acres reserved for educational purposes, prevent compact land settlement, necessitate an increased expenditure for roads, schools, etc. These have had, and are having, the effect of driving away thousands of intending settlers, who would under favorable conditions settle upon our waste lands and make them productive.

The government also repurchased from the Columbia & Western Railway 1,500,000 acres on similar terms. The government have also made an arangement with the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway company whereby the province will lose a large amount in taxation. Weltern Expenditures The government's wasteful and extravagant expenditure demonstrates the fact that they cannot realize the same degree of efficiency or value for their outlay as is possible under private management. There Is a very lar;e preventable waste. Contracts are let, changes made, and extras allowed which often more than double the amount which thc works should cost. I In tbis electoral district much better results could be obtained if tin moneys expended by the government were expended under the different municipal councils. Whilst I am referring to government expenditure in the electoral district of Delta, let me say that I am quite well aware that in former years when I had the honor to represent jyou ln the Legislature the government deliberately starved the district. I well remember that in 1906 only $2500 was voted for Delta and that in 1907 the magnificent sum ot $1100 was voted, and that ln 1908 another vote of $1500 was passed. I am also well aware that for the coming year $85,000 has been voted and lt may be that should you again elect me that the government would again penalize you tn a similar manner, and it may also be that there are some amongst you who will be swayed by such considerations. All I wish to say to you on that point is that you should consider whether men who would so penalize a constituency which does not approve of their actions, are big enough to have charge of the destinies of this province. Frankly, I say to you that I should prefer to see the public moneys expended upon roads for the beneflt of resident producers who are giving their lives In clearing bur lands an I making them productive, rather than upon paved highways tor the enjoy- ment of motorists, among the wealthy, and often foreign tourist. Grave Neglect of Public Accounts. Tnere has been no examination bv Ithe legislature of the public accounts for years past; many public worka have cost double the contract price. No enquiry as to the reason has been made, The government does not even give Information asked for.

We unhesitatingly condemn the hypocrisy of the provincial government as evidenced by its refusal to enact their own remedy, on the ground that it would embarras tho Couservative Dominion Government. We stand for a white British Columbia and advocate continually increasing stringency in Immigration lawa until this result is attained. The Liberals of British Columbia are in favor or the total exclusion of Orientals from the province. We insist that the provincial authorities shall enforce strict sanitary regulations in all congested districts. Extension of Municipal Powers. Increase of local control in municipal matters. Election of license and police commissioners by popular vote. Public Ownership of Utilities. We emphatically declare our adherence to the -principle of public ownership of public utilities, and advocate limitation of terms of franchise to cor- portations, renewing the same, if in the pubic interest.on equal terms. Public ownership of telephones. Local Control of Liquor Traffic. The liquor traffic of British Columbia is nt present under the absolute control of the provincial government and is used by it as a political machine. We insist upon the complete removal of the liquor question from party politics. The control of the traffic shoul .1 be vested in municipalities, or, in unorganized, territory, in locally elected authorities. We favor a local option law. ln the protection ot the public we insist on the frequent inspection or' liquors offered for sale. Public Accounts. We denounce the McBride Government for withholding year after year the public accounts from examination by tne yiiblic accounts committee. We advocate the organization of an auditor-general's department independent of the go\ ernment. Fishery Control. We advocate immediate steps to restore the fishing industry to white fishermen. The protection of British Columbia lisheries from foreign poachers. The adequate policing of Canadian waters. Protection of Water Supply. We condemn the short-sighted policy ot the provincial government, in alienating the timber lands on watersheds tributary to cities, towns, and municipalities, it should be the im mediate duty of the government to remedy the mischief caused by this mistaken policy. Torrens System of Registration of Titles. The present system of lan I registration is expensive and cumbersome. We advocate the adoption of the Torrens system of titles, and the reduction of registration fees. Nen-Partisan Civil Service. We favor the organization of a civil service commission for both inside and outside services. Appointments to the civil service should be based on fitness, and not on partisan service.
