EVERY DAY SEES THE REVIVAL IN MINING BECOME MORE SUBSTANTIAL Consolidated Company About To Instal Compressor And Tramway. It is witb genuine pleasure that we record a substantial revival in our staple industry. From the many mines which surround the once famous payroll centre come most excellent reports. We can truthfully write that at the present time at every mine in the vicinity the miners are working on ore. In some instances this is tbe outcome of a program of development and deep miniDg, sterling factors which have established the per- mane-ace ol the values and tbe reputa- | tion of the banner silver-lead section of the province. For the past six weeks the arrival of miners to the camp has Seen steady, and these have immediately found employment at tip-top wages. But yet many more good miners are needed, the lack of which is retarding the progress of many* property holders. EUREKA-RICHMOND. ThiB well-known group, owned and operated by the wealthy Consolidated fining and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited, is likely to rrove the most potent factor in the resurrection of tbe industry in our midst. There are now about forty men on the payroll and good miners are being eagerly sought. At the mine there is an immense bodv of concentrating ore blocked out, to treat which the company have in view tbe construction of a mill or tbe leasing of either the Ivanhoe or Slocan Star concentrators. Arrangements are also under way for tbe erection of an aerial tram, tho proposed site for the lower terminal of which, together with a compressor plant, is the foot of the Star gulch, a point from which ore can be dumped direct from the bim to the cars of both the Canadian Pacific and K. & 8. companies. RECO. This famous high-grade mine, alter being closed down for some time, has once more been opened with a large force of men by J. M. Harris, and it will shortly enter the shipping lists again. The Reco trail is a busy one, pack trains making two trips a day. A large consignment of ore sacks went up on Tuesday. We understand that a new ledge has been located with a pay- Btrcak of great richness. LAST CHANCE. This properly was shut down two months ago when the ore body was showing up strong, but the legal proceedings which threatened to tie up the mine for a long time have been withdrawn, and Lieut-Governor Dunsmuir, virtual owner ei the adjoining Noble Five group and tbe Last Chance company have agreed to submit the disputed point to arbitration. Work under contract, however, is being pushed at an- other level by William Findlay and a crew of men. McALLISTER. At tbe conclusion of last season's Work the local syndicate owning the group shipped 30 tons of ore which netted them $7,000. It was then agreed by the owners that to prove tbe value of the rich vein at depth, a 300 foot crosscut tunnel would havo to be driven. Thl8 work is in progress, and when it .s completed it will give them a vertical depth of 175 feet on the ledge. Extra miners are needed, as about the 1st of August it is intended to develop No. 8 level, running north and south drills, whichareinore. The syndicate figure on shipping enough from the noith and south drifts this fall to pav for the development. Geo. Clark, one of the owners, is superintending. CANADIAN GROUP. Work was resumed at this mine three weeks ago, and a good sized crew put to work. The property will enter thei shipping lists again in a few days. The Towgood packing outfit have orders to begin on the first car. MONTEZUMA. Both mine and mill are working full handed, and gratifying results are reported. The output from the mill is on an average four cars of concentrates a month. MOUNTAIN CON. This is another of our high-grade mines which has been re-opened the past month. This property has yielded enormous profits to the owners from tlie grassroots. Ore is now being sacked by Howard Thompson and a small force. MAJESTIC. The lessees of this property, C. A. Bigney et al., have broken down a large quantity of Al ore. A shipment of twenty tons will be made in a few days. ELKHORN. The lucky leasers of this ground made enough from their initial shipment to hold a substantial balance alter putting in *. 1000 to exploit tlieir holdings. A crosscut is being driven which when completed will given them a good area for stoping. There is a large quantity of clean galena on sight In the drift, which will be left standing until the crosscut tunnel is completed. A car of ore "extracted in the process of development now lies in the bins. ADAMS GROUP. Neil and Alex. McMillan and Angus McGillivray of Queen BesB fame have just secured a lease of the above group from Brandon Brothers, and a start has been made. There is ore to begin on, CHICAGO. Two shifts are working at this mine, which is reported to be showing up fine. Messrs. Duck, Orchard and Baskerville, of Milwrukee, inspected the property a few days ago, and to our representative expressed themselves as delighted with the ore body and the development work proceeding. Tliey also said that twenty men would be put to work in a few weeks. Mr. Duck, purchased for cash several interesls iu Cody mining property held by John McKaskill. A steady output is kept up by the Sunset, and other mines in the Sandon distiict being worked from which good reports aro to hand are the Corinth, Goodcnongh, Sunshine, Slocan Star, Moon, Bachelor, Ya-Ya, Alps, Rambler, Ruth, Redress, Farnum, American Boy, Slocan Bell, and Surprise. *��� .���. __���_ ���_*.. .���. .���. .���. ._,. .��. __���*. .*. .*. .���.

On Sunday last a party of Sandon anglers, Messrs, W. T. McClurg, S. J. Towgood, T. McAllister and J. J, Atherton journeyed down and whipped the water for several hours. On counting up the days' catch the nett result was, McClurg, 849; Towgood 271; McAllister 88; Atherton 51. The poor catch of the last named iB attributed to the fact of his cooking tbe lunch and having charge of the " bait." The total catch of 754 should be a sufficient inducement to any tourist who is looking for a quiet spot for a fair days' sport. F. E.

This arrangement permits of the boat arriving at Nelson forty-five minutes earlier tban by the old schedule. The Sunday train is cancelled. As proof positive that the wave of prosperity which rolls toward Sandon has already kissed this city, we might mention that one of our leading merchants informed us this week that his business for the past month more than trebled that for the corresponding month of last year, and that the present month's sales would double last month's. He claimed tbat last month was the best one with him for four yeara. He ia a good advertiser, and we hope in five yeara he will own a departmental store aa big, well nearly, as Timothy Eaton's. Ten years ago there was a mining stock boom in B.C., and little attention was paid to fruit lands, lumber or real estate.

"I make It myself, and I'll warrant it to mend anything that ever"��� "I don't need any," interrupted the man nt the desk, "but if you will tell me the biggest lie nbout your cement I ever heard I'll buy a bottle of It merely to encourage jou." "I wouldu't lie to sell a thousand barrels of it," protestod the other. "But I'll tell you of one thing I really did witb It. You have heard, I presume, of the frog that tried to swell itself up to the size of an ox. The skin of that frog, aa you remember, was uot equal to the strain, and It burst all to pieces. Sir, I happened to be on tht Boot, and I gathered up the fragments of that frog, patched them carefully together with my cement and made the creature as good as new���better, ln fact, for it is a wiser frog. To prove to you that I am telling the absolute and exact truth I will show you the frog, which I have here in mjr valise"��� "You needn't show it to me," snld the man at the desk gloomily.

One of the famous Rothschilds was once entertaining at dinner a distinguished party. The dinner went on admirably. Nothing marred the general enjoyment save the silly loquacity of one young man.

"By Jove!" be said. "I must show you my new cuff buttons. I got thera this morning. They are malachite." And he passed from one guest to another, exhibiting tbe buttons. "Malachite," he kept repeating���"genuine malachite." Baron Rothschild watched the young man's progress with a faint sneer. When the buttons reached him he touched them with his finger superciliously and drawled: "Ah, malachite, eh? It is a handsome stone. I have always liked it. I have a mantelpiece of it in the next room." Hommirn on Lanfr��*���*���*���. The German historian, Professor Theodor Mommscn, was noted for the facility with which he acquired languages. The tongues of modern Europe as well as the classics were to hlm not studies, but tbe familiar tools of bis dally work. An American reporter who was interviewing hlin some years ago asked to have a certain reference put Into Knglish, as he did not read German well. "Not read German well? And you n Journalist?" exclaimed the savant. "I do not see how it is possible. Young man, German ls one of the four necessities for a student. The other three are English, French and Italian. Without them you can never know the tendency of modern thought. If you have them not, do not rest until you have learned tbem all."

When the Review joined the people of the Slocan in the fight for better terms from the C.P.R., it did so with its eyes open and fully cognizant with events which led to the reduction of tbo passenger service to a tri-wcekly one, and we do not 'propose at this stage of tbe fight to throw up the sponge and cry quantum Buflicit because the railway company has granted tbe prayer of residents of the four lakeside towns and reverted to a daily service. Sandon demands a daily mail servi.-e and it will continue to emphatically voice its demands, yea, even unto the Railway Commission. When Mr. Coleman visited the Slocan prompted by a spirit of enquiry, be unburdened himself in a communication to the Sandon Citizen's Committee as follows: " Will watch business closely, and first indications of revival will put on additional trains." Tbat revival no one will deny has begun. During the past month we have kept close tab on the trains, and we feel confident the increased business will cause the Divisional Superintendent to redeem Iiia pledge. From the Nelson Daily News of the 19tb inst.. we cull the published interview with Mr. D. C. Coleman: " The result of the agitation started by the people of Slocan lake and of Sandon, which was backed by tbe Nelson board of trade was announced yesterday by Superintendent Coleman of tbe Canadian Pacific. He said: " After a careful conference with Mr. Wliyte and Mr. Busteed and a careful examination of the whole of the circumstances we have determined to give the Slocan lnko pooplo just that which they asked for, which was a daily service. That service will start from Slocan City. Ou tbe three days in the week when the tri-week!y service between Rosebery and Nakusp is conducted, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the steamer will leave Slocan City in the morning and will take up passengers to Rosebery to cinnect with the line to Nakusp. There they will be able to make connections with the Arrow Lake boat and go through to tbe coast Calls nill be made going up to Silverton and New- Denver. The steamer will then turn round and go back down the lake, calling at both places on its way. In the afternoon, after the arrival of the train from Nelson, another trip will be made up and down the lake, calling at Silverton and New Denver. On the trip down the lake passengers coining in from Nakusp and the coast will be brought toany po!nt on the lake. Thus on tiiese three days there will boa double service as before the alteration. On the other three days of the week when the boat -:0'8up in the morning she will not call at the way points. On her return down she will do so. Aleo on the afttmoon trip, after thc arrival of the Nelson train, sbe will call at all way points but will not do bo on her return from Rosebery on the second trip of the day. This is arranged in this manner for the purpose of allowing the steamer to handle more expeditiously the freight which has largely increased of late. No, this docs not mean that we are going to put in the winter schedule. Privately I am of the opinion that the winter schedule is the one that will, in tbe long run, come to be permanently employed, judging from the conditions of tbe country, but just now, at all events, we will handle the passenger traffic Irom Nelson and points east, ns well as from Rot* .land and the Boundary by way of Robson and the Arrow Lakes. "As far as the service between Rosebery and Nakusp is concerned, it will einain tri-weekly, although freight will go irregularly every day. A passenger may take chances if he care! to and avail himself of that. As far as Sandon is concerned there has been no alteration except in so far as the daily service on tbe lake has made the diSerence desired." Commenting on tlie above the News goes on to say; It is understood that the change will partly meet the desires of the Sandon people, but the chief alteration desired by Sandon waa the laying over of the train from Nakusp at Three Forks, just below Sandon, rather than at Rosebery, but in this our esteemed contemporary is at fault. At the present time the train lays over at Rosebery, Three Forks being a flag station. We contend that the most economical and advantageous point for a roundhouse ia Sandon. The train could leave here every morning** for Rosebery, and a daily mail service and connection would thus be once again established at no great expense to the company and to the intense satisfaction of the public. For three daya a week tbe train makes two trips a day from Rosebery to Sandon, but one of these trips���the first���is abortive for tbe reasons (hat there arc no connections to make at such an early hour, and on account of the train laying over at Rosebery (nearly halfway between Nakusp and Sandon) which entails a useless trip to this city, after which a few minutes later it turns round and begins its real and legitimate days' business. Even if the company cannot see its way clear to running the train through to Nakusp, it can at no increased expendi - ture give thiB important point a daily connection with Slocan Lake by establishing a round house here. It follows tbat the freight could be just as expeditiously handled on the three off days passengers were not conveyed beyond Rosebery. We commend this point to tbe consideration of tlie powers that be, as we have every confidence in the executive ability of Mr. Coleman to Btraighten out the tangle with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the travelling public generally. A COMMUNICATION. We snipped the following from tlie Cranbrook Herald: " The Sandon Review is happy now that there is a prospect of better terms in the Slocan on the part of the C.P.R. The Review has done great work to bring this about and is entitled to a lot of thc credit." Our excellent contemporary has a very observant attitude, and it but. echoes the sentiment of manv admirers who have penned us cheery words of congratulations on Slocan's victory and for the strong stand we took in the fight. When we issued the fiist number of our now established weeekly excitement our outlined policy was to stand as the spokesman|for)lhe people of tbe district, and in all matters appertaining to the common good to fight the good fight. During our eleven months existence we have had no cause to complain of the paucity of "scrap0," in which by a combination of circumstances we have always managed to be at tbe winning end at the stick, but whether we will secure the " credit" which 'Brer Simp- sou maintains we are entitled to, the closing month will decide. There are those whose standing a Is. in this paper have been to us our existence. There are such, however, we regret to say, whom a goose couldn't graze after, but when they realize that we are mere -nary enoUi.li to expect a quid pro quo for services rendered to the community as a whole they may jar loose. Wc wish to remark that the paper id not on n paying basis, and were it not for our rustling job orders and compe'ing with cheap John outfits the Review would have been relegated to Gehenna or the literary bone yard some months ago. Now, its up to you, Mr. Merchant and Messieurs Subscribers to commune with yourselves before this paper icaches its 52nd number. Yon can have every confidence iu our doing the right thing, and wc conclude by quoting from the Salutation in No. 1, Vol 1.: " We will do our part; will you dnyuU'S? " CITY OF SANDON COURT OF REVISION. [It must always be diminclly understood that the E litor is not responsible for the opinions of correspondents, nor does he always agree with them.] Dear Mr. Editor.--As a matter of public interest, I think the following should be inserted in your paper, and in asking you to insert the item I feel that were vou to do so it might meet the eye of officials in high places and do some good. On Wednesday evening last I traveled from Rosebery to Sandon by the C.P.R., and a man, whose name I afterwards ascertained wns Brandon, aleo got on the train. He carried witb him a grip and a hand saw, which he deposited under tbe end seat of the coach out of the way. Acting under instructions from the conductor, a brakeman swooped down on the articles to take tbem into the express car, but the owner rightly and strenuously objected to any such graft being worked, and he took the two articles into the scat with him. The conductor came along and prepared to seize the articles, but the owner refused to part with them. This brought about a scene, and the passenger was put in a most humiliating position. I heard him tell the conductor to either put him off the train or else go about bis business and quit tantalizing him, but the conductor eviilently thought it was his business to antagonise a respectable member of Ihe traveling public, for to my wuy of thinking nnd the general opinion also of my fellow travelers, the conductor had no right to openly attack a passenger against whom it is asserted lie bears a petty grudge. Now, Bir, I am a commercial man, and I have travelled by rail very many thousands of miles, but I bave never yet witnessed anything to compare with the autocratic action of the being who is head push on the Sandon-Nakusp run. My point, sir, is this, and oue as a drummer I wish emphatically to emphasise, that if it is the custom on this run for the offii-ials to lake out of the possession of a passenger any small articles and levy express charges on them, then the sooner it is advertised the belter. For my part I should refuse lo allow the articles to leave my possession, and in consquence I should dread being put in the same humiliating pos'tion as my fellow passenger of Wednesday night. I am, dear sir, yours truly, Louis E Devbrkox. Sandon, B.C., July 15, 1907. LAND ACT-KOOTENAY LAND DISTRICT. District of West Koo'enay.

"Have you thought all along that I am the princess; that I am Grenfall Lorry's wife?" "You told ine-fciat you were the princess." "But I've never said that I was���wu any one's wife." There was a piteous appeal ln her voice, and be was not slow to notice it end rejoice. Then his heart smote bim.

"You are to go on serving me���I mean you are to retain your place ln the service," sbe hastened to say. "I sball keep my promise to you." How small and humble she was beginning to feel I It did not seem so entertaining after all, this pretty deception of hers.

"And you have trusted me? You have not bated me for de ceivmg you?" "I have never ceased to regard you 1.1 my sovereign," he said softly.

Beverly listened ln wonder and some disappointment, It must be confessed. Somehow a spark of hope was being forever extinguished by this straightforward denial.

Tbe two faithful cbalr bearers, respectful, but wltb wonder in their souls, stood afar off and waited. Baldos and Beverly were alone ln their own little w.rld. "I think I liked you better when you wore tbe red feather and that horrid patch of black," sbe said musingly. "And was a free hearted vagabond," he added, something imploring ln bla voice. "An Independent courtier, if you please, sir," sbe said severely. "Do you want me to go back to the hills? I have tbe patch and tbe feather, and my friends are"��� "No! Don't suggest such a thing- yet." She began tbe protest eagerly and ended it In confusion, "Alas, you mean that some day banishment ls not unlikely?"

Don't you remember bow you talked when you wore the red feather 7 Well, I liked It." Baldos laughed easily, happily. His heart was not very bumble, though bis voice and manner were. "Red ls the color of Insolence, you mean." "It's a good deal Jauntier than blue," she declared. "Before you call tbe bearers, Mlss- your highness, I wish to retract some thing I said awhile ago," he said very seriously. "I should think you would," sbe responded, utterly misinterpreting bis Intent. "You asked me to tell you wbat my message to Ravone contained and I refused. Subsequently tbe extent of bis message to me led us Into a most thorough understanding. It ls only Just and right that you should know wbat I said to him." "I trust you, Baldos," she protested Simply. "That Is why I tell this to you. Yes terday, your hlgbness, tbe <*astl�� guard received tbelr month's pay. You may not know how well we are paid, bo 1 will say tbat.lt Is 10 gawps.to each. une envelope which 1 gave to Kavone contained my wages for the past six weeks. They need It far more tban I do. Tbere was also a short note of good cbeer to those poor comrades of mine and tbe assurance tbat one day our luck may change and starvation be succeeded by plenty. And, still more, I told bim that I knew you to be Miss Calhoun and tbat you were my angel of Inspiration. That was all, your highness." "Thank you, Baldos, for telling me," she Bald softly. "You have made me ���shamed of myself." "On the contrary, I fear that I have been Indulging ln mock heroics. Truth and egotism, like a salad, require a certain amount of dressing." "Since you are Baldos and not a fairy prince I think you may Instruct tbe men to carry me back, being without the magic tapestry which could transplant me ln a whiff. Goodness, who's tbat?" Within ten feet of the sedan chair and directly behind the tall guard stood a small group of people. He and Beverly, engrossed ln each other, bad not heard tbelr approach. How long tbey bad been silent spectators of tbe little scene only tbe Intruders knew. Tbe startled, abashed eyes of the girl In the chair were not long In distinguishing the newcomers.

Suffered Two Years���Relieve,-j In TJiree Months EFFECTS OF OPIUM. The Drug Will Stupefy Some People ���nd Excite Others. Comparatively few persons know what opium really 1b. When they turn to a dictionary and glean therefrom that it ls tbe "inspissated Juice of tbe somniferous poppy" tbey are still like ly to be ln the dark. The process of obtaining it ls to score tbe pods at fixed intervals during a certain period. The milky liquid which comes out soon turns a darker hue and thickens and is then scraped off and molded into cakes, witb poppy leaves for an outside covering. It was ascertained from evidence nf forded to the Indian opium commission of 1890 that ln some states of India not a few of tbe natives took as much as forty to eighty grains of opium dally and tbat consumption of forty grains was common. Contrary to tbe impression that death results from a sudden cessation of the habit, it bas been proved tbat when confirmed opium eaters bave been im prisoned for awhile and thereby deprived temporarily of their favorite drug tbelr bealtb has not usually suffered. The article bas a varying effect on different races and constitutions, exciting some and stupefying others, it reduces tbe average Chinaman to u state of torpor if he takes it plentiful ly and not infrequently causes tbe Malay to run amuck. It bas been record ed tbat tbe Javanese regularly took it before going to fight so as to work themselves up to a pitch of excitement. Most of tbe drug that is imported iuto England is mncb stronger than wbat ls ordinarily consumed ln India and imported into China. The stipulation of tbe British pharmacopoeia is that all opium used medicinally sball yield at least!)._ per cent*of anhydrous morphine. The morphia percentage in much of the opium prepared in India for con sumption tbere and exportation to China is less tban balf this specific strength. This is a detail which novelists who are addicted to poisoning their characters should note. It ls rather striking that opium does not seem to be largely resorted to in .rutin oa o. moans of uu'cuie. The evi dence of tbe largest insurance company was to tbe effect tbat after twenty years' experience there the company had decided that it was not necessary to impose any extra premium on Unlives of moderate opium users.���Cham bers' Journal.

Eighteen Men Sit on Python While Operation Is Performed. Feast day for Salome, the longest aython in the Zoological Park, proved to he the busiest day the attendants lave had for many months and tlie iveliest occasion in her career. After '-11 arrangements had been made to .'eed a brace of rabbits to the twenty- lour foot serpent the discovery was nade that fourteen of the snake's teeth were decayed, and the intended least became a tooth pulling. Salome eats only once in a while. Her last feast was on New Year's Day, when the attendants forced five "abbits down her throat. A peculiar ���estlessness during the last few days *^d the attendants to believe that she as feeling the pangs of hunger again md plans were mado to feed her more rabbits. Three were dressed and tied together, Salome was untangled and hoisted into a corridor and twelve Iturdy men were instructed to range themselves along her coils. Dr. Dit- mars stood by with a ten foot pole, to be used-in placing the rabbits in the proper place, nnd at the proper moment tbe jaws were pried open. A Patient Python. Up to this point Salome hnd been a patient python. She hadn't so much rs opened her eyes. But when her jaws wero forced slie writhed and Bquirmcd and kept the dozen bodyguards busy. Dr. Ditmars was surprised to find that fourteen of the forty teeth in the upper jaw were decayed and the whole mouth badly swollen, Pincers of large size were obtained, and while eighteen men sat and stood on tiie snake, which made desperate efforts to switch its massive tail and wiggle out of the grasp of the impromptu dentists, Dr. Ditmars drew out, tlie affected teeth. Salome was left in a rather ugly mood, and no effort was made to force upon her the delectable feast that had been prepared. Instead she was carefully rolled up into the conventional coils and was carried back to her cage. Dr. Ditmars expects she will recover from the operation and will be an improved python. Tn two or three weeks she will be fed���if her condition is normal. If the feast were deferred for several months it would not worry Salome, the attendants said. Eating is the least of her worries.

"We have also used Dr. Chase's Kid- nev-Llver Pills w.ilh splendid results, and have great faith m all of Dr. Chase's medicines."

Almost as ancient as the office of Lord Chief Justice of the realm iB th-t of Master of the Rolls, to which S.r Herbert Cozens Hardy has just been appointed. The master haa precedence over all the other judges of t' e Supreme Court of Judicature, wi.h the exception of the Lord High Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice, next to whom he ranks alike in dignity and emolument. One hears of the master of the rolls already at the beginning of the thirteenth century, and there is no doubt that in tbe origin he had charge of all the patents, and grants, and writs issued under the great seal, and that he often fulfilled the duties of tbe Lord Chancellor and Keeper of the Great Seal during the letter's absence. In fact, at one time lie used to be known ns the Vice-Chancellor. Formerly he was eligible to a scat in the House of Commons, but he was deprived of this privilege, enjoyed by no other member of tbe judicial bench, by an act of Parliament passed in IS73, debarring nil judges of the High Court of Justice, Court of Appeal, from sitting in the House of Commons. He has custody of all the national records, which date bacl for more than 1,000 years���since times prior to even the Norman conquest��� and which, comprising Doomsday Rook, are preserved in a huge building known as the Rolls house, which opens on to Chancery lane through an arched gateway. It is precisely on account of his ���keepership of the state records that the Master of the Rolls is more frequently consulted by the monarch than any other law officer of the crown on points concerning his prerogatives and duties as sovereign. He receives a salary of $30,000 a year, which is $5,000 more than the lord justices, or the judges of the High Court of Justice, and is usually created a peer of the realm on his retirement or promotion, which latter fate has overtaken that genial Irishman, Sir Richard Henn Collins, who now becomes Lord Collins, and who will be remembered in this country as .one of the arbitrators of the Venezuelan bound, ary controversy.

Mason, head of the Flying Roller Colony, of Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, has been proven beyond all doubt to be none other than the notorious Anne Dis de Barr. Also it has been learned that she was known in England as Editha Loleta Jackson, where she served time with a man reputed to be ber husband for a serious offence. The Editha Loleta Jackson, of Lon* j don, was positively identified os the "Mother Elinor," of Windsor. F. E. Swinden, a member of Mother Elinor's cult, made the identification in a sworn statement. Madame Dis de Barr was liberated last August on ticket-of-leave from Aylesbury Prison, in England, to which she had been sent on Dec. 20, 1901, sentenced to seven years' penal servitude for connection with an alleged immoral cult of which her reputed husband, Theodore Jackson, was the head. It was her third imprisonment during a singularly sensational career. For years she had been known as the "notorious" Madame Dis de Barr. Her Trump Card. The trump card of her life was probably played when Mme. de Barr wheedled Luther K. Marsh, the New York lawyer, out of a fortune and made him the laughing-stock of bis old ago. In the seventies she traveled about America representing herself as a medium who could reveal hidden truths. While living in Madison Square she met Mr. Marsh. By means of alleged spirit manLestations and spook-painted pictures she so infatuated the old man that he gave her large sums of money and deeded to her his house in Madison avenue. There she officiated as a priestess of spiritualism, and got fame and more riches. Finally she was sued for conspiring to defraud Marsh. The grand jury indicted her, the Geny Society took her children, she was convicted and sent to prison. After experiences in Europe after her release she turned up in Chicago and under the name of Vera P. Ava was sent to the Joliet penitentiary for two years. Free again, she married William J. Mc- Gowan, in Chicago, in 1895. He had money but quiet domesticity didn't suit ber. Brotherly Love Colony. In 1899 she was run out of New Oceans with Theodore Jackson, whose wife she claimed tx> be.

A new design for a Canadian flag has been prepared by Mr. Ernest Gir- ardot of Sandwich. The design includes a Union Jack in the upper left corner, a beaver and maple leaf below and perpendicular bars to represent the nine provinces of tbe Dominion. The groundwork of the flag may be either white or read. "I think it is time, now that we have just added two new provinces to the great Canadian confederation, to adopt a new flag, a national emblem that every Canadian citizen may cherish and revere, one that has no objectionable features for any race or creed, and one on which every province is equally recognized," writes Mr. Girordot. ''Herewith is a design for a Canadian national flag which, in my humble opinion, embodies all the desirable features which should pertain to the flag or standard of the Dominion of Canada. "The Union Jack on the upper left corner represents our fealty to England and (he tie which binds us to her. Our emblems, the maple leaf and the beaver, dear to all, are preserved. Each perpendicular bar represents one of the nine provinces. When any other province will be created another bar may be added to the flag. "I believe I am saying the truth when I state that there is not one per cent, of the Canadian people who know or understand the semi-barbaria symbolisms expressed by the coat-of* arms which appears on our present standard. "We are asserting ourselves more and more every day as a distinct nation. The glowing importance of our commercial relations with foreign countries and the glorious succera we hnve achieved through our participation at the Liege and Milan exhibitions, where we have given evidence of Canada's greatness and inexhaust. ible resources, demanded that we should without any further delay adopt a national flag, one which does not recall any conflict between any of the races which compose the Canadian nation or remind one of any tra* dition cherished by one class of people and hated by another ��� a flag which does not symbolize any particular creed, but oue that is an emblem of peace and prosperity." Irregulars In Boer War. The number of irregulars engaged in the Boer war���infantry, mounted and artillery ��� waa about 80,000, of which 60,000 were supplied by the South African colonies, the oversea dependencies furnishing the remainder, viz.: Australia. 16,415; New Zealand, 6,513; Canada, about 6^500, and India and Ceylon 600. Or. Osier Says There Is Somerni... Radically Wrong. Publicists nowadays realize that the public health is one of the most important subjects that confront them for solution. There are those who say that perfect sanitation would not only kill off many deadly oacilli, but would put a damper oo crime. Writers of fiction picture their morbid types alwi._ as flourishing amidst unclean surroundings, physical as well as moral. The useful man ie the healthy ma i. The useful community is the healtiy community. In ancient cities they had their frigidorium; their ice-cooled apartments and their sanitary applianc-H.

Are We Sanitary? The United States, in parts, has taken cognizance of these truths. So have some European cities. Canada as yet would be called by many an unsanitary nation. To be clean costs money, Belore you spend the money yon must wunl to be clean. Then you must hit on the right method, The live mayor of a live town In Ontario bus given ensiderub'e thought to these mutters. He sought Ihe opinion of a scientist of world-wide reputation, Mr. William Osier, who, though not resident in Canada, knows the situation here thoroughly. Dr. Osier sent the following reply From the Hegius Professor of Medi cine, Oxford. April 2 1907. Dear Sir,���Nothing I think, is more important in die Canadian provinces lhan the sunitiition ol lhe small towns ind rural districts. While, ot course inturio has dine a great deal, and ���ie public health work has been splen* id in every way. yet. ns I said the other day in Toronto, the prevalence if typhoid (ever indicates that then is still something radically wrong . million dollars contributed by tlu Government in improving Hie sani lat ion, if it only helped to get rid of typhoid fever, would be well spent.

No doubt there will be li liousand suggestions us to what the Government will be asked to do with his money. Much of it likely will ne spent in a manner which will not _ive (lie people a full measure ol benefit, which otherwise might nntur- illy be expected. 1 venture to point mt a case which deserves the ser nus consideration ol the Legislature ���is being not only urgent, but one .vliich, if contributed to, will stamp '.he Whitney Government as being imong the foremost, intelligent, de liberative bodies of the world. "The sanitation of the towns and villages of Ontario is in a very backward state of repair; more especially in regard to a proper sewerage equip- tient. There are 450.000 people, most iy recruited from rural districts, who ire congregated in these centres in -uch a manner as to cause the soil 0 be thoroughly polluted. The greal iced of these communities is drain i'-'e. but the cost is so great (hat they ���iiiinot i"iidertake the work unless as isted by the Government. In all owns there are unsettled districts .vliich cannot be drained from a front- ige tax, and the expense, falling upon lie general taxpayer, simply closes *.p any possibility of securing a per ,'ict system. Cost $4,000,000. "It is estimated that $4,000,000spent ipon this work by tlie iu��i�� oi On. ario would produce a fairly complete .ystem of sewers. Towards this .rent work the Ontario Government could well afford to contribute at least 51,000,000, or 25 per cent, of the cost. 1 he method of payment might be apportioned in a manner somewhat similar to that of building good -oada in the rural districts."

ROBINSON Director of Record Foundry Co. Hon. C. W. Robinson, until recently Speaker of the New Brunswick Legislature, and who, a few weeks ago, was sworn in as a member of Premier Pugsley's Cabinet, is, outside of bis political interests, associated with some of the largest manufacturing concerns in his Province. Among the principal interests with which Hon. Mr. Robinson is connected is the Record Foundry and Machine Co., of Moncton, N.B., and Montreal, P.Q., manufacturers of the celebrated " Penn Esther " ranges and " Admiral " and "Calorific" furnaces.

Victoria Day Excursions Fare and One=Third For the round trip between stations on the CANADIAN NORTHERN RY The following T��ry -valuable prescription, by an eminent and success- j ful physician, will be appreciated by i many who are suffering from la grippe, ; cold, cough, pneumonia, or any throat, | long or stomach trouble, or run-down system, as it is a certain cure, and | will save many a doctor's bill. It is | almost a certain preventive as well: ��� j "When you feel that you are taking ' cold or have chilly reeling or aching 1 in any part of the body or head, or | feel weak, tired, dissy, unfit for work, Sain in the head or back of the neck, o not neglect these dangerous symp- I toms, but send immediately to your druggist and get a bottle of Psychine (pronounced Si-kecn), and prepare aa follows: "Psyohine, 2 teaspoonfuls. "Sherry, whisky or water, 9 tea- spoonfuls. "Choice of the latter can be mad* according to the judgment and preference of the patient. "Mix thoroughly and take regularly bef.ro each meal and at bedtime." This prescription has been used in thousands of cases and has been so universally successful that a number of leading physicians regularly prescribe Psychine in their practice for any of the above troubles, or any rundown, wasting or constitutional difficulty. It is the most reliable and valuable home remedy. It tones np the entire system, giving a feeling of youthfulness and vigor, adding many years to the life of those who use it. " Years ago I was almost a physical wreck and was sufferin. with lung troubles. Frlondi and neighbors thought I would never get better. I began to despair myself. Losing faith ln my physician, I procured another one who recommended the use ol PSYCHINE. It was surprising beyond description the effect it had. I seemed to _am with every dose. Inside of two weeks I was able to attend to my housework again. There are no symptoms of consumption about me now." MRS. HENDERSON, St. John, N.B. "I bad been suffering from Le Grippe.
