The Victory Was Bought by a Heavy Loss' in Officers. London, Oct. 22.���������The list of officers killed and wounded at the battle between Glencoe and Dundee, in Natal, shows that, although thc British victory was complete, it was bought at a heavy price. In addition to Sir William Penn Symons, who it is feared is mortally wounded, two colonels, three captains and five lieutenants were killed, and a colonel, three majors, six captains and ten lieutenants were wounded. This heavy loss among the possible, whether they would fight tho Boers or the British, becauso his contingent was anxious to help thc Boers elsewhere- He acknowledged that his men were afraid of the Basiltos because their wives and families as well as their cattle were within reach of a Basuto incursion. Tho Boers on the Basuto frontier, according to thc best information obtainable at Mazu number about 2,500. London, Oct. 25.���������The Capetown correspondent of tho Daily Mail telegraphing at 9:45 p.m., yesterday siys : "General Yullo has performed a brilliant straticttl movement. By a sweep march to the south, leaving'Glencoe empty, he has affected a junction of his forces with those of Sir George Stewart White, slightly north or Lady- smith. The two are now in a position to offer battle. I believe thc first attack will be made on the large Free State force which entered Natal by way of Tintwa Pass, and which has since been harrassing Ladysmith. The military authorities decided that by joining their forces the two generals would be better able to cope with one large force at a time, than having two small detachments to oppose simultaneously. Accordingly, after defeating the Free State troops they will offer battle to Com.mandanl-Geiier.il Joubert. Only forty miles now separate the two Boer forces. Hence tho need for swift and telling action.

' Capetown, Oct? 23.���������The Boer com'-, xnandcr m, the battle of Elandslaagte, General Jan Kock, who was taken , prisoner, it.is died of his wounds. Capetown dispatches from the front regarding "the 'cupliiro of Elandslaagte show it to hitvi. i.v.en a brilliant feat of arms. Tho BuiVd were strongly entrenched and fought with great bravery. They seized evt-rv opportunity of- coming into action, and were ready to serve their guns whenevei they could get a chance. The British wounded are now being taken to Ladysmith. ISvery care and attention tiro also being given to the Boer wounded, who are being despatched down the course. Alter severe lighting our infantry carried the position. This was accomplished at 0:30 p.m.. the enemy standing their ground to the Inst with courage aud tenacity. The Fifth Lancers and a squadron of the Filth Dragoon Guards charged thrice through the retreating Boers in J.he dark, doing considerable execution. We captured the Boer camp, with teuts, wagons, horses and alc-o two guns. The Boer losses were very considerable, including a number of wounded and unwounded prisoners. .Among the former are General Jan Kock aiid Piet Joubert,the latter a nephew o( Commandant-General .loubcrt.

Applications for enlistment hayo come from almost every Statoin 'the Union, and a number of Roosevelt's-Hough .Riders have already joined. They propose to equip themselves and pay their own expenses throughout the war. Capetown, Oct. 24���������The following advices have'bertn received here from from Mastra, Basutoland : "A native lately visited a laager, of Orange Free State troops just opposite-Maseru. He found it to consist of wagons, sur-. rounded b.y turf piled threcfeet high. He noticed only a few Mausers. The Boer commandant questioned him regarding the feeling of the different Basuto chiefs,''principally, tlie! paramount Chief Lechihiodi and in order to draw tlio coniniandanty the native replied that .tlie chiefs sided .with tlie Boera-. Tu ere upon the. commandant said that the two republics wished to kill tlie British and to take over and govern the BastUos, restoring to the latter that part of the country which the Free State formerly took from, them. , As for the Britishers, those whom they failed to kill, they would drive into the sea. The commandant ���������wished a decision on that, part of Lecli- throdi .and thu other chiefs tis soon as dent and there is much enthusiasm. The fighting today outside Ladysmith was a mere brush. The losses' on either side were insignificant. It was marely an artillery duel, in which the Boers camo off' decidedly the worst." t( '' London, Oct. 25.���������Tho following dispatch from General Sir George Stewart White, to tne Marquis of Luns- clowne, Secretary of State of War, received last .evening at 11 o'clock was posted at thc war office soon aftui- midnight: "Ladysmith. 2:49 p. m.���������Information received yesterday shows that the Boors hail, established thernaciyes in considerable numbers in an exced- ingly good position we\t of the mam road loading from Ladysmith to Dundee. I also had information that th" Dundee forces, formerly commanded by General Symons, and since his wound, commanded by General 'Yule, was falling back on Ladysmith, by ivay of Helpma Karr Road, Keith and and the valleys of the Waschbank and Sunday rivers, and was expected to reach Sunday River valley on Monday, f therefore moved out a strong force to coverthe moment of Yule's command. The enemy was discovered about seven miles out of Ladysmith in a position of exception al nai ural strength west of thc road. 'When he saw the preparations being made against him, he opened fire with one gun with great accuracy. Our artillery soon got into position and the gun was silenced. Troops woro expected to occupy a strong ridge, parallel to the enemy's, position but nearer tlio road. I confined mi' efforts occupying him and hitting him hard enough to prevent h's taking action against Yulejs column. Numbers of tlie enemy (led to the west and firing had practical!} ceased at two o'clock. A special meeting of flic directors of the Rambler-Cariboo company will bo held at Rossland 'on November 2nd.' The purpose of this meeting is to declare :��������� dividend of one cent a share. As the capital stock of the company is now 1,250,000 shares, the declaration of this dividend means the distribution of ������12,500 profits among tho stockholders of thc company. The Rambler- Cariboo is now in shape to declare regular dividends, and it is the intention of thc officers to make the coming distribution of profits the first of the regular monthly payments of one cent n share to the stockholders. It has between 835,000 and ������40,000 in the treasury, 200,000 shares of unsold treasury stock remaining from thc recent increase in the capital stock, which could be sold for close to S100.000, but which it is the intention of the officers of thc company to hold until the stock is worth $1 per share, and the mine itself is in shape to make big shipments of rich silver'ore. The completion of the lower tunnel, tapping the ledge at a lower point far below the former workings, has opened up a big urea of stoping grounds. The ore can be 'Stopod out from above the tunnel and hauled to the surface at slight expense. There is almost no limit to the amount which can be shipped, and the most gratifying feature is that the ore in thc lower workings is the best ever found in the mine, which is saying much, as the Rambler, has long been famous for tlie richness of its silver- lead ore. Light Co., wilfully places a misconstruction on a letter sent to the city council by the company anent present differences between them. What the company contend, and what they are right in contending, is that when the council repudiated a resolution in their books, passed in the early days of tlie year, accqpting light service on tho terms of last year, and which, in law, is a valid contract, they are likely at any time again to repudiate, in the matter of street lights, anything short of a contract under seal. There is no questioning thc fact that if the Light Co. had refused to turn off the light when ordered to do so a couple of months ago, and ha'd sued for" the total amount, the courts would have decided in favor of the company on the strength oi the resolution of January accepting service on tlie same terms as the preceding year. Further as the council ordered a discontinuance of that contract it is generally conceded the company suing at the end of the year can recover judgement for the profits they would reeeive from the service. As the city has not a dollar to cpend in law suits,";and if they take seasonable advice, the council will at once interview the company aud make some amicable settlement for the past ami give a written contract for street lights to the end of the year. If the council means lo pay for service there can be no wrong in giving a contract under seal. We are fully aware the people know that taxation is high and the least tney can look lor is good water and light service as two items for the heavy taxes they are paying. The matter shouid be attended to at once; at least this is our opinion on the subject. The public money should not go, year in and year out, without some' resonaule returns to the people.

The Black Prince, at Sloean City, has shipped tho sceond car of ore this season. ��������� Tho Ivanhoe company have put up a snow shed in tho wake of a slide, as a precaution against possible danger. About 30 men are working thc Rambler-Cariboo now and it is supposed the mine will have nearly 60 more before the winter is over. The Emily Edith has erected very complete lodging and boarding apartments and will put up a concentrator in the spring, but wc very much doubt that it will employ the staff this winter referred to by the Silvertonian. Joe Martin's law is in the road. It is genet ally understood that the Minnesota Silver Company, are going to put on- a considerable force of men shortly to work the Ivanhoe and other claims. It is also not unlikely a step m ty be taken shortly in the way of putting up thc projected concentrator. An important strike has been made on the Hewett claim, near Silverton. A ledge from 5 to 10 feet wide and over three-quarters of a mile in length has been found. A paystreak about S inches wide has been found near the footwall, and much of the balance of ledge matter is concentrating ore.

YESTERDAY'S CABLEGRAM. London, Oct. .27.���������The -only, news this morning consists of ruoru detailed accounts of the battle already reported. A correspondent who visited the hospital lit Ladysmith, where the Boers' wounded at Elaneslaagt, who were captured, are being tended, reports that General James Kock, who was wounded in the thigh and shoulder, said that the advance, of tho patriots, under Pinar, without guns, was simply with the object of cutting the railway, and that this body was - subsequently reinforced without. General Joubert's orders. General Viljoen accompanied them. Tiie latter was,killed early in tho fight. . According to another correspondent tho Boors say that General Kock, during tlie battle read his Bible and prayed for victory. His brother, two sons and a nephew were all wounded and taken prisoners. Colonel Sohiel. of the German corps, and Commandant Protorius were both^severly wounded. Many promiuent Boers aro not yet accounted for. Philip Kock says the Buerd suffered most from the ''soldiers in littlo clothes, half men and half women," meaning the Gordon Highiand- ders, and in the charge of the 5tl\ Lancers. They bay also: that ,the two quick-firing guns captured by the Dev- enshirc rogretnont are those that 'wero taken iruiii tiio Jameson raid. Colonel Sohiel assured a. correspondent that nothing could stand against", the accuracy of the British hold guns,, which repeatedly drove lho.Transvaal- gunners lrom tho embrasures. ���������' i The Growing Friendly ���������.Feelmg Between ���������'-.' the United States and Great Britain Paving,the Way for'an Alliance of Anglo-Saxon Races. ,Manjr circumstances are now going to':show that ."a friendship is.being established between. Great Britain and the United States,, that is '-likely-to remain for all time. In America's late war with Spain Britain's sympathies wore with the former, and- the Americans arc now reciprocating by extending substantial sympathy to Britain in her war with the Boer Republic. Through the foolhardy policy of Britain over a century ago, in enforcing unjust taxation' on her colonies, they became lost to her, and are now in tho West what Great Britain is iu thc East ���������-the 'greate.it. power on tho hemisphere, and both aro using thoir strength for the advancement of other nations whilo retaining their individual supremacy. 'Differences of their own theso powers may have, and arc certain to experience as' timo rolls on, but they have both grown out of their years of infancy and have sense enough to settle them on a business basis. This will at all times leave.them both free j to act in concert when they' see the i interests of either arc imperiled, or the welfare of any jiortion demands it.

Horseradish ground and sweotoned a little will make another delicious flavor for vinegar. A quart of boiling hot vinegar is poured over six table- spoonfuls of grated horseradish, and at (lie end of a mouth the liquid is drained off. Those who like garlic can flavor their vinegar in a similar way. Pour a quart of vinegar over a fow bruised garlics, and let the mixture stand for several weeks. Then the vinegar will be so saturated with the garlic.that a few drops of it will flavor gravies and salads. A quart should last for a year - Tarragon blossoms and leaves, older flowers, nasturtium seeds and flowers, peppermint leaves, green peppers, and all similar pungent plants can be utilized for flavoring good white vinegar. One can put up a dozen different samples of spiced vinegar in this way, which will be ready for instant uso at any time. IN BRITAIN'S FACTORIES, PERILS UNDERGONE BY WORKPEOPLE IN THAT COUNTRY. HflMirl of Kiisl'ili IH'iiarliueiilal Coiiimll- tcc on Dangerous Trade* Is a IIlKlily Inlort'slliis Dociimrisl. The fourth and final report of tho Departmental Committee appointed by the British llonii Secretary to inquire iiilo and report upon certain miscellaneous and dangerous trades is a highly interesting and instructive document. The Committee consisted of Mr. H. J. Tennam, M. P., chairman, Mrs. Tennanl, formerly Hor Majesty's Superintending Inspector of Factories^ Dr.. Thomas Oliver, M.D., and Mt. H. P. Smith,. R:.N., Hor Majesty's Inspector of Factories. In the four years in which they have been at work they have Visited 295 factories, and workshops, examined 259 witnesses, and held 171 meetings. In the course of their work they have had to learn the intricacies both.of- business management and of scientific and mechanical manipulation' of twenty-six separate industries. By the care, tact, and judgment with which they have porforihed their important duties they have- deserved.!well, of all the workers of the community. DEADLY L\UKT. ,; Most of- tne-trades -and industrial processes dealt with in this volume arc dusty occupations, in which the great danger to health and even life itself consists in the inhalation of very line dust, not. necessarily poisonous; but extremely injurious to the respiratory organs. As an instance of the harm wrought by dust, it may be stated that a few yours ago coal miners died in largo numbers from a'form ot consumption, but since the compulsory introduction of improved methods of watering the coal dust in the main ways the culling of the miner is now a comparatively healthy occupation.. GRINDSTONES. ...... It is well known that the stonemason's is not' a-healthy- trade, but that of cutting and building up grindstones and millstones, by reason of tho extreme hardness ot the stone- usually French burstonc���������is . much moro dangerous. The hardness ot the stone may be judged from the fact that a man dressing it wiUaometnues knock the point off as many, as ten tools in a quarter of an hour. Dr. Peacock in 18G0 calculated that of men employed in millstone cutting in London forty per cent, died of 'tuberculosis.- Fortunately tliis trade is. nearly extinct, steel rollers having largely taken the place of millstones Tho Committee suggest that spectacles and respirators should be supplied by tho occupier to all workmen who desire them. > EMERY WHEELS. 'The're is another very .hard rock, from Smyrna to the Isle of Naxos, ground into the finest (powder and then made into wheels by the addition of some substance like snellac or india rubber, and then mado into wheels under hydraulic pressure.

In tho use of these wheels, owing lo the great speed at which they are driven���������a 3 in. wheel will bo driven at 7,401) revolutions a minute, and a 3 ft. wheel at U00���������there is a great danger of centrifugal breakage, be- sidesp tho injuries caused by tho dust given oft in their use. ' BASIC SLAG. The slag is tho"refuse left in a special process of steel manufacture. When ground to powder it is used in the manufacture oi a patent manure. It has to bo ground into an almost impalpable powder, so lino that eighty, to eighty-five per cent, ol it would pass through a mosh'10.0UO to lhe inch.

"*"^"' Tho following account of the manufacture of slag wool is interesting��������� A fine stream of molten slag, is allowed to flow from thc blast furnace, and this stream is met by a strong blast of sle;uai through a narrow pipe. Small globular particles, by reason of their viscous nature and the velocity with which they are forced 1 ��������� ougn tho air, is drawn a long thin filament.

LABGL LICKING. Although not exactly a dnngcroua trade, the report devotes a chapter to what "is, to wi j' tho least, a nasty practice."- At ono of the large thread, mills in Lancashire there wore employed at one time somo twelve full- timers, who each licked from forty to fifty gross of labels per day. To give an indication of the amount of licking possible to bo done, one woman informed the Committee thai when busy she could complete forty- five gross of bobbins a day, or, allowing a tickot for each end of tho bobbin, nearly ninety gross, 12,060, of Labels a day . Of course this is a bad as well as a dirty praciice, .especially for children. As Dr. Oliver remarks, "Thero is no reason why tho saliva of .young people should be put to such a use." Indeed there is every reason against it; for even if there be nothing actively harmful on the label, constitutional' derangement is apt to be set. up liyi so much licking.

A set of rules is applied, which, if repeatedly disobeyed, brings trouble to the dairymen. Those rules are formulated upon tho bost-lcnown principles, and thoy should bo' kept und lived up to by farmers who niiiko thoir own dairy butter on a. 'small or large scale. Thoy will, in the end, profit by them; for they all tend to the making .of good butter and cheese. It is tho order of tho day lo improve dairy products, and thooman who can produce gilt-edged milk, butter or cheese is sure lo make a igood p-rofit. The proper handling of; milk, as demonstrated by practise and experiment all over, is ^to aerate it just as soon as possible after it is drawn from tho cow, and then .to cool or chili 'it. The reasons for those two processes tiro simple. Thc first removes from tho milk certain animal odors and gases that taint all fresh milk. The sudden cooling checks the multiplication of injurious bacteria, which will in a nhort time increase so that the milk is in a fair way to sour iu a brief space of time. The modern aerators and coolers perform both of these operas lions at once, but a farmer can imitate lhe work to a certain extent without them. Tho aeration simply, means fo expose the milk to the clear air by spraying it out in, a thin stream. If one has a tub,, and pours tho milk out slowly from a heighti of several feet, ho will accomplish what tho aerators do. . Tho chilling of the milk should follow immediately. Clean cans that have been scalded out with boiling hot water can bo sunk into a tub of ice, and thon by pouring tho milk info them and closing! the top tight with tin and flannel, tho necessary low temperature will be obtained in a short timo. Somo farmers' have simply sunk thoir cans in a brook or spring of cold wafer, burying the bottoms in a foot or, two of cold gravel. Whore one has no ico handy, this method is a good substitute. By treating the milk in this way it will be sweeter, cleaner and purer, and at tho same Lime it will bo so freed from bacterial germs that it can be kept a day or two longer than milk treatod in the ordinary way. ��������� If possible tho milk should bo cooled to a temperature of 58 degrees and kept so. It goes without saying that tho utmost care is necessary to keep the cans and utensils perfectly clean, aud that they must be scalded out -without boiling water every time lhey are emptied and before now milk is put in them. : SMOOTH WIRE FENCES DESIRABLE: Tho smooth wire fenco 'is the only one which exactly moetfi fhe demands for a first class fence.

Owing to-tho coarse nature of this cereal it is niorei difficult to handle than any other farm crop-. There aro a groat many devices of low racks so that the stalks inay be carried in nr'm- fuls onto thein, but undoubtedly .tho quickest way is to tie the stalks into good bundles and havo; ono man pitch and tho other on the wagon.

Sir Walter Scott paints this dainty -It: (he rose is fairest when 'tis budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fear; a the rose is sweetest washed with morning dew, And love is lovliest when embalmed i with tears.

In 1827 she^was Regent for Mario Dabuisson, daughter of .the first President, of the Parliament. The Regent and her court, together with the peers of Parliament, assembled at Poitiers in May, for legal conference. Many, causes awaited their decision. One of the most important had been instrusted to the advocacy of- a gallant but pleasure-loving young noble, Compte do la Marche. He was so madly in lovo with Marie that-,he had but littlo thought and less inclination for things storn and legal. He had alroady. pressed his suit and been rejected. This but made his love burn the" fiercer. The evening of his ar- ., rival at Poitiers, ho ventured into Marie's" rose-garden, tondoring her an ardent serenade. Mario appeared at her window. She eluded him for "employing tho hours of thought and study in idle gallantry," "On tho morrow," she continued, "'twill bo your task to defend before Parliament' ��������� the honor und fortune of tho orphans ���������and you are wasting your time in Idle pleasure. If you would win my favor, go I Prepare to do your task Worthily." Tho Count took her reproach to heart. Ho passed tho night in study; He mastered the details of the, case. The next day he made his plea with brilliant success. So eloquent was he, that the Queen Regent smilingly asked the source of his inspiration. "The voice of an angel," was the fcr- . y*nt reply. . The sequel is obvious." They married "and lived happily ever after." To commemorate the pretty incident, the Queen ordered that every year, on the 1st of May, the youngest noble should pay to Parliament a "Bailie aux Roses." The custom -was long observed, until 1589.

His hands and feet should be especially well taken care of. How very often do we find on taking the little one up that his hands and feet are almost numb. . That may often result in serious colds. The floor may be the most convenient place for the baby's playground, but there is always a strong draught there'which any one may feel by only placing the band there, for an instaut. And besides, the atmosphere near the floor is that higher up, so the baby, if allowed to roll on the floor, is constantly always several degrees colder than in a cooler atmosphere tnan the grown people. The proper temperature is about seventy degrees. It is not well to havo it so cold that one shivers or so hot that a puff of cold air will make one sick. The air which thu baby breathes should bo-pure, and. good ventilation is ahsolutely,necessary. ; If no better way is provided he should bo carried into another room occasionally, and tho windows opened until the air is purified.

A'writetrj'inthe " Fort England Mirror," gives the following' reason for his detention:���������" I met a young widow with'-a- grown-uS? step-daughter, and the widow married me, then my father, who was a widower, met my stepdaughter and inatried her. That made my wife tlie mother-iiirlaw of her fa,- Uior-in-law, and anado my step-daughter my mother and my father my stepson. Then my step-mother, the 'stepdaughter of fiiy wife had a son. That boy was, of course., my brother, because he was my father's son. He was also the son of my wife's step-daughter, and therefore-her grandson. That made mc grandfather of my steip- brotjhojr., Then Inly wife had n sou. My' motlier-in-law, tho step-son of my son, is also his grandmother, because he isyiier step'-sou's child, because his step-sister, is my wife. I am tho brother of my own son, who is also the child of my step'-grandmother. lam my mother's brother-in-law, my wife is her own child's aunt, and my son is my! father's nephew and I'm my own grandfather. And, after trying to ox- plain Lhe relationship in our family some seven times a day to our calling friends fotf a fortnight, I was brought here���������no, came of my own will." , Another declares that he never found rest from his mother-in-law before, and he intends to hoodwink the doctors as long ns possible. And yet another points o|h't that it has always been 'the fate of really great men to be ignored or ill-treated by their contemporaries, and that is why he ifr now detained. "For tho thick skullf.-. and those of little sense are jealous of my .being the first to discover1 that w>; co'ul 1, all live forever if wte could only walk on our heads.

Senilin, Cotton, Joseph' Martin, ..T. F. Hume, etc., etc.,was its frequent '. meddling, or as.it,used , to; bo:.: called, "tinkering." with the mining laws of , the country. It'used to be declared by I every- member of ..the Semlin party that/no cliiiiiges should be made until 'they were well considered, by. the peo-. 7 pJei'iliat confusion-might be avoided. This cannot be denied by anyone conversant with the facts. .' Yet in the face of this' open declaration to the country, nt tlie,. last session of the House..arid ' only three days before- its' close, ,the; ' eight-hour clause, the most.important . "amendment to the mining laws.of, the, ��������� country, was smuggled into the .metal- ; liferous Bili'in'h'lhin House, and without giving the representatives' an..opportunity to consider, its effect, in. the .country, .and rushed through at/breakneck speed. . We ask tbo electors, one and al), as to their honest opinion- on this, if they'do not at least consider it .a violation of .principle, if hot a breach '.;..;��������� of trust'with the people.; .What, electors, is your holiest answer?.

It may be argued in some quarters: that "the matter of;an eight-hour law has been before the people one way or an-' ���������:' otherfor y ears,but that does not in any : i-esKoet change the circumstances. In .-any. suggestion of that character it was never proposed to limit the law to one -class of people'and-to .reduce that class to thc condition of wards of the state,' by depriving them of the liberty to sell their labor as they saw fit. Whatever may have been in the minds of some of the candidates secretely, it is patent that but one candidate, James Martin, ���������of Rossland, in any way in his address intimated the introduction of any such law: However, the amendment, was conceived in injustice, cradled in ,selfv '��������� ishnes's and produced through the action of political fraud. Until polling ., comes again, when the people will .have an opportunity of expressing their opinions of the act, the country lias to simply grapple with the consequences. .','" . Up to ihe'time of the passage of the -eight-hour amendment there was the best of good will every where prevalent ���������''.between-tlio'owners and the meii.

C. politicians sjo, long as the general disaster brintrs him .votes'. .Their return to the House is of moro importance io theiii selves than the financial progress of the people and tbe country-.',. In thCJ Slopari. on properties that-now would be employing at least 1100 men, had the old regulations remained in force, there are perhaps 300 men. at work, the remainder either being out of work, out of the couutry or, to a partial extent, scattered throughout the district., and in many cases, it is feared,, plotting against the -interest of the country.' The seeds of discord have been sown, the evil leven has been thrown into the liiiiip.nnd whore, when and how'quiet may again be restored jao one can even conjecture. A demand is nowriiado; for the old wage for the, eight-hour .shift without the slighest.-. compensating;-concession to the owner, and a portion of .the press is' endorsing it "on: precisely"flieprinciple that.the politicians passed the law���������to curry favor with the men for the shekels it may-bring. None.. of them attempt to, snow the justice of, it, all, but still in most quarters the demand'is endorsed. .The lucre that may follow is of Infinitely- more importance to the advocates than is ^justice'..to the conh try.' Pat the 1"e'stion to any of the eight-hour.(as it;stands) advocates why it is that: if the men were well paid, and- fully'satisfied- with the payment of S3.50 Tor ten hours worlc nine: months ago, they' should.now get^the same money for eight hoiirs, and none of them1; will attempt a sensible reply! Some of the men will give.y911 ns ah answer., whatis a; physical impossibility���������that a man will do in an eight- hour sliift iis much he could/in. a ten-hour shift.' No ' one of either the men, or; the newspapers or po-: litical apologists will say that the owner' formerly got too much work for his '3.50, or that he should now get less for it. Reasonable questions are only-met by evasions. The owner on the other hand says, "Since it is universally conceded, and fully substantiated by the previous contentment of the men,' that I formerly gave good pay for the work I got, I am fully willing to settle on any basis ot,equivalent that the law will allow." It matters not to him how the settlement is made, so long as what was formerly conceded to be ample payment for a day's work is observed as the principle. The new- law has in noway advanced the price of the metals,' improved the quantity of the metals in the seams, improved the condition of the men for pro rata work, so there is nothing in these to consider���������a just settlement can only be made bii a proper basis of-concessions. The miner .'says,- .'T can not live and make any money on less than S3.50 a day," That may be true to the letter, hut it. is only one side of the story��������� the other side is that of the owner���������it is that the shortened hours will bring him 20 per cent diminished returns, which he ought not ad be asked to'accept since former work and payment were considered honorable and just.'aU' around. If a change was necessary it should have had ���������corresponding c-on- ces.ssions. You will 'again hear' sonic niinerH cay that eight hours, is aa long as 111 on ought to. be. asked, to .work . under- gruinid.; That all depends' on, conditions.

If, however, the intelligent egotist who penned it .'will only again refqr to the "plank in the Copservative platform" named, and can understand plain English,he will sceitis not "the eight-hour law" that is endorsed but "the principle of the eight-hour law," which is an entirely different thing. There are already in Canada, several laws limiting labor, and hours of service, without, penalties,'and the contention is that the one in question should be an addition to the list. To meet the demands ef those who contend that 110 such law can be valid, or workable, without penalties, we may say it is not necessary while observing; "the prin-. ciple" that any special suin should be named as a penalty. Supposing the clause ran this way: "No man shall employ another to work in an linder- ground tunnel in any metalliferous mine longer than eight hours in. any 24, under a penalty of 50 cents for every hour of over time, the penalty' in every case to be paid to the employee." ���������'���������;.- ."

The experience has been that 111 certain classes of rock even good men could not' get dif their blasts, in.'imicii 'less lhao ten'hours work. Contrive as he tnay, .the ordinary 'miner of the Sloean could not do such work in eight hours. .Some men will say sack such men. The chances are that another strike' or stoppage of work would follow. Even if it did not follow, it .would make sacking so general that enough men could not be found to' operate the mines on the eight-hour principle, while on the ten the camp could easily be supplied, as when the blast could not begot off in eight hours they readily could in ten. The ten-hour regulation would then guarantee permanent work to infinitely more men than can ever bo expected under the eight-hour regulation, even if it. works as well as its. ardent admirers say it will. The Review is'not an advocate of cheap labor, neither is;it the friend of injustice: It is not to; the benefit of the ..Kootenay country that miners' wage's should be reduced to S3.00, but it is at least as equally great injustice to expect the'owners to pay' ten-hour wages for eight-:'hours work. The point is, therefore, to equalize the matter in some amicable way that the burden will bear noliarder on one side thati it does on the other. This is all that,The Review desires.

For some time past it grew constantly Worse. 1 frequently had sharp pains under my heart that I was fearful if I drew a long breath it would cause death. In goinjr up-stairs I had to stop to rest and regain breath. When my children made a noise while playing I would be so overcome with nervousness and weakness that I could not do anything and had to sit down to regain composure. My limbs were unnaturally cold and I was subject to nervous headaches and dizziness.

Though Eva could never have guessed the truth, Lilas Lampier was indirectly the cause of Mrs. Weslbrook's ohanged feelings towards herself. "Miss Lilas, had, in her own shady world, become a decided success. 4She had remained with the Barnams until o more wealthy and more enterprising' circus proprietor had offered her such terms that sho could afford to break faith with hor first muster, and accept 1'he- bribe held out to her. | This man, in his turn, was thrown ovor for another, still bettor able 10 help her up tho ladder of success, and bo tho fair false one got on slop liy etep, and now sho is tho leading actress at tho Palladium, u theatre that ladies seldom frequent, hut where a lovoly face, a magnificent figure and a good powerful voice, suitable lor opera bouffe, will always insure a crowded houKe, particularly when tho possessor of these qualities is backed up by a rich patron. Lilas had all these claims lo constant employment at tbe Palladium. Sho could dance and she could sing ! few women before tho public could rival hex in beauty, and the Duke of Dull- borough lavished wealth and jewels upon her, as though his oivn resouioes wore unlimilod and inexhaustible. Not being a young woman troubled with any sensitive notions on the score of virtue you might reasonably suppose that Lilas do Lampier, as' she Btyled herself, had few desires ungrati- fied, but this was not tho case. She would be a lady, and though nothing on earth could make her one m the same senso that Eva Bandolph was, she gradually acquired the conviction that if she married a gentleman no one could deny hor the social recognition which she coreted. The duko would not marry hor if ho could, and there was the disagreeable fact of tboro being one JDuches* of Dullborough already, to preclude oven a hope iu that direction, so what was she to do to attaiu her purpose? When she began to think seriously oC matrimony, Lilas realized for lhe first time that, although beset with innumerable admireia, there was not a tion, und sho regarded her aa a disgrace alike to her profession and her sax. The idea thfit her own son should iniarry this creature transported the piroud woman wick passion, and she Indignantly denied it could bo possible. But when she herself asked Ernest a'boul it ho answered moodily: "1 don't know whom -1 ."-hall marry. I have only loved ono woman and sho refused raw ; 1 don't care much what happens next." "But surely you could never enlor- uiin tho notion o������ making nu abandoned creature, whose very name has become a, by-word of shame, your wife ?" asked -Mrs. Westbrook, with undisguised horror. I Her sou .answered evasively, and then observed: ".She. is very beautiful. Have you a&en hor V "No ; hawl should I see such a crea- tuicf" was tne angry quest ion. ".Easy enough, by going lo the Palladium any night," was the careless reiply. "I'll take you, if you like." Mrs. Weslbrook's heart leit mgh unto burstiog with rage and indignation. But she curbed herself; her son. was beyond hor control, and she hadvalso an uupleiis.-inI consciousness that sho had in a great measure brought, this new danger on herself. If she had only retrained fiom interference when he had evinced a partiality for Eva, this last depJorable condition of affairs could never have come about. Whon sho spoke again, il was in a hesitating tone, and she asked: "Blight you not have been mistaken; might not (the girl you lovod have doubled herself when you asked her to marry you if It Ls not the first timo of asking that is always successful if a woman is worth winning." "1 don't cure lo be refused twice," was tho curt reply. Aad then he leit the room ; (he subject was as painful as it was dislasle- lul to him. "[low 1 am punished I" moaned the unhappy .mother, when she found herself alone. "I'va would have been a wife for him ot whom J might bo one among- rhein who ever thought ������" nroud. But (hau abandoned wretch! I giving hor that plain gold ring which 11JKly that thc grave may close over signifies so much. \ my head before she bears my name and No pure love and no great' passion nad touched the heart of this 'utterly selfish girl, until one night at a boisterous supper party she mot Mr. Westbrook. Sho recognized him in a moment. She remembered bis face and his name, and she recollected how. in turning to admire him, she had once- walked with littlo Freddie into tho river. In those days he was I he* handsomest man she- had ever seen, and now, looking at him among so many, and after the thousands she had since met, sho decided still to give him tho palm. But he seemed ill ab ease in the (company in which he found himself, and yet thero wins a certain oir of impatience and defiance about him that suggested lo hor quiok intelligence that he had beon thwarted or disappointed, and might bo ready (o perpetrate any piece of recklessness. To the disgust of many of her admirers, Lilas showed a marked pieference for Mr. Westbrook, and, when the party broke up, she gave him her address and invited him to call and see her. It is needless Cor us lo follow Lilas in her subsequent career for the next fow months, except in so far as it 'regards others in whom wc are interested. Our a marked change came over ihci actress. For the first time in her life she knew the meaning of the wordj love. Not love in its purest form, but lovo turned to passion, and a craving desire to make the loved one her own at any and every cost. Love made Lilas timid and almost modest. She meant lhat Ernest Westbrook should marry hor, and she played her game with such consummate skill that she stood a very good chance of winning. Bo had heard the tales that were in everybody's mouth about her, but how could ho credit them when sho was always so modest and retiring in her relalions with him? Sho asked him questions about his home and his molhor, she narrated little incidents o������ he past and at length she recalled herself to nis recollection/ ns she had once been und implied in p. more subtle way than if she had openly avowed it that eve.u in those days she had admired and loved him. Only once had he stopped her abruptly, and quickly changed Ihe subject whon she talked about the past, and that was when she casually expressed some curiosity as to what had become of Eva Randolph. "Sho is an artist," ho replied, curtly- "Oh I then, I'll engage her to paint my'portrait," said Lilas, in/ a tone that implied that Eva must feel honored by receiving' such a commission. But the expression of Weslbrook's face, and the tone of hisi voice stung Jior to tho quick, as he remarked, soine- '"vibat sarcastically. "I would spare myself tbe inevitable mortification which must follow such in offejr, if I were you." "What do you mean 1" she demanded, hotly. ��������� - "If you: do not know, I cannot: tell you," was the reply. "But 1 must say good-bye; my mother expects me." "And Eva Randolph is waiting. I suppose," exclaimed Lil'as, with a burst of jealous vehemence. "No; I have not seen Miss Bandolph; for some months,".he. replied coldly. Then he went away feeling that fori a time he had had quite enough ot ahia ���������beautiful fury. But tibe story got abroad���������it was originally set afloat by herself���������that Mr. Westbrook. was engaged to marry Mile. Lilas de Lampier, and the news- reached tbe ears of Mrs. Westbrook. She knew the actress well by reput- makes me childless ; for i will never see or speak Lo him'again if he firings Ibis shame upon me." Bul this passion wore itself out, and at length, Mrs. Westbrook began lo think how sho could save her son from this disgraceful alliance. Eva was hor only resource and her only hope. To go 10 the Longfords was the fii'3l .uhi.ug Mrs. West'brook did the nuxt morning, and she learned from them thai Eva had already returned to England���������had, indeed, been back a fortnight. Mrs. Westbrook understood the situation directly. Eva did not intend to seek her out. The girl 'was offended, and rnusil be conciliated. In a moment the astute woman of tho world had made up her mind what to do. "To-tinonow will be her birthday," she observed, sweetly, to Mrs. Longford. "Please don't say anything about this visit of mine, 1 want tosui- prisa her." Shortly afterward she look her leavo. "I will go wilh Ernest to that theatre, ' slie said to herself, as she leaned back in hor carnage; "and1 i will tako Eva. The best plan will be to ask her to dinner, without telling him sha is coming. If he still loves her, perhaps things will come right without furlk- or trouble; but if ne sees the two women together, then suieiy he must bo delivered from the toils of that brazen Circe at the Palladium." Mis. Westbiook cairie.d out her plan lo the letter. She duly inlormed her son that very evening ot her desire lo visit the Palladium, and requested him to secure a private nox for the next night. in tho morning she sent the carefully-concocted invitation to Eva, which we have seen, but not having received an3r answer to it when the dinner lime was approaching, she began to get nervously anxious about tne success of her scheme, and al length dispatched hor own maid in a. hansom cab with another letter still more earnestly entreating Lhe girl to come to her. This was successful, lhe messenger and the guest returned together, bul Eva's heart fluttered liko an imprisoned bird as she look Mrs. Weslbrook's haud and asked; "Uii ho know that 1 was coming V" "Xo; ho does not know that you are in London ; i have been much to blame, Oh, .. i'Jva !" she added, as she heard her son's step on the stairs, "wiu him if you can, save him for both of us." Before the astonished giii could 10- ply the door opened aud Ernest Westbrook stood before her. she felt very certain tba|t she would be sharply crilioised, and she knew that Ernest would be indireotly influenced by his mother's opinion, however much he might try to persuade himself that he wa.s not. Many times during tho early part of the evening Lilas glanced up at the empty box which she knew Ernest Westbrook had secured.' Why was he so late? Why did he not come? She was getting impatient and very cross. Every day of her life she was becoming more and more infatuated with tliis man who hovered about her, and yet held back from saying or doing anything that could compromise him. She had, for his sako, dismissed all her other ' admirers, including even the duke, who could not be easily replaced. At last, when tho evening is fully half over, she sees 'the curtains of the emptjy box move, and her heait throbs witUi proud salisfn,etion, for she feels that Ernest is watching her at last. She cannot look a,t him for a fow seconds, former parti demands her exclusive attention; but whon she can turn her eyes toward the box, she sees that there are Lwo ladies there, both of tgicm intently gazing at her. Who can they bo f Ono che recognizee as In's mother, but tho other is scarcely older than herself, and she never heard him speak of n sister. The box: in which-tho Westbrooks sit Is near one side of tho stage, and when Lilas can lipproach it without attracting observation, she looks up at tho fair oval face that looks down steadily and almost sadly upon her. Where has aha seen that girl's face before? In a moment'it-*iiasnes"-'upon her, and in the same glance'the recognition is mutual. Eva sinks back with an expression of horror; whilo sudden jealousy and hatred transform tho sweet face of L'las Lampier into that of a raging fury. Only for an instant, however. She is far too good an actrclas to lot her own feelings spoil her part; and, as though to show the prudes who watched her that sho did not value their opinions, but defied them, sho gave herself greater license than she had ever done befom. She must make Ernest Westbrook her slave by intoxicating his senses, or she would lose him altogether; for some subtle instinct told her that Eva wa.s her dangerous rival. Between lho acts Lilas expected that Ernest would como behind the scenes, as usual, to speak to her ; but ho did,not; neither did he throw or sp.nd her a bouquet and he seemed to take no more notice of her personally, than any other woman upon the s'tage. " I will speak to him to-night," she thought, passionately; "he will chose between her and me. I will be second lo none in his heart, or he shall go, and I will forget him." With'this determination, she wrote a hurried scrawl, as she stood in one of tlie wings, and sent it round to Mr. Weslbrook's box. Ernest received it as he and the two ladies woro leaving, and ho thrust it unopened into his jacket. A very little of tho Palladium was enough for Mrs. Westbrook���������still less had been too much for Eva; and as soon as she ha,d recognized Lilas as one of the companions of her childhod, her great anxiety was to get away as quickly as she could. Sho had often wondered wha,t had become of the girls with whom she used to play, but she ha,d never for a moment suspected that tho woman she had heard spoken of as the modern Dalilah was the Lilas Lampier who used to stagger about Westbrook under the burden of Mrs. Flood's big baby. Of the danger that Ernest wns in from tliis siren she had no suspicion. Mrs. Westbrook had not found an opportunity for telling her, and now she deemed it prudent not to do so. Ernest had been surprised to meet Eva in .his mother's drawing-room, and there was some awkwardness on both sides when she offered him her hand and uttered the commonplace greeting that sho hoped he was quite well. Ernest refused to accept tho olive branch, and determined more recklessly than over lliajt he would marry Lilas Lampier, and thus show Eva that she could not play fast and loose with him at her leisure. His mother divined his thoughts and resolved still lo save him. She left tho dining room with Eva, but she returned alone a few minutes later, and approaching her son, and laying her hand on his shouldor, said: " Ernest, I have something to confess, though you may blame mo bitterly for what f have done. I mado Eva refuse you ; I exacted it as tho price of all kindness to her. She went away because X believed she loved you, and she is only here this evening by my entreaty. It was for your sake T did it. but I fear I actod unwise- she had really loved him, wonld she have refused. to become hia wife for no^other reason than because his mother desired her to do so. No, he could not believe it; rather, perhaps he would not. And thus he sat brooding, until a servant came to tell him that the carriage was nt the door and the ladles wero ready. T To Bo Continued. Excruciating Pains fHE VICTIM A WELL-KNOWN AND POPULAR HOTEL CLERK. 7 CHAPTER X; L'las Lumpier is at her very best to-night. The opera bouffe, in wh'.uh she takes tho leading part, has been placed on the stage and got up with the principal object of showing off her voluptuous grace and beauty in the most effective manner possible. Never was she in bettor form for her work, and never'did she feci more confident of triumph. Ernest Westbrook has not yet proposed to her, but she feels very certain that he will do so. Only this morning he told her that his mother was coining to the thea.tre in the pvening to see her act. Ho did this, perhaps to put heron her guard, So that Bhe might /not indulge in any of the impromptu witticisms and seductive glances with which she often embellished her art. At any rate, she took the hint and sho almost wished she could, have selected some other piece in which the proud lady, might first see her, for ly." " Very unwisely," replied her son, sternly, lising to his foet, and looking coldly in her faco. "But having sent her away, why have you brought her back again?". ���������'Why?" gasped his mother. "You know why; surely it is not too late?" ''Bo you menu to go to the theatre to-night ?" he asked, moodily, ignoring the question. " Tes; I told Eva you would take us," she replied, stung'to the quick by his seeming indifferenoe to her feelings and wishes. " Very well ; let me know whon you are ready to start," he replied. , And then she left him, with the terrible fear in her hea.rt that her submission had come when submission was useless. Ernost Westbrook sat over his wine, much longer (than usual, though he did not help "limself freely from thc flecanter. For a time he sat frowning at ;i he vacant seat opposite him, and then he broke out into a harsh laugh. These women scorned to be playing with his heart as they would with a.tennis ball quite regardleHs of anything he might suf fer. , ��������� ��������� ��������� He. was angrv with his mother, but he; was ptill more angr[y; with Eva. ff , ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM. , Compile Plant Operates Affair* on n .Vow YorK State Farm. On a farm pf ,350 noises in the State of New York there is a complete electric plant which produces thc current for lighting and boating as well as for supplying the power for other operations connected wilh the farm. All the mechanical energy is supplied by nature, and tho cost and maintenance of tho pla,nt aro inexpensive. It ha3 demonstrated that electricity used for manual labor is,a success. The farm land is situated 'on both sides of a good sized stream, on which are two falls���������one CO feet and the other 180 feet high, and these furnish tbe power. One motor of 10 horse power runs a mowing machine, another a threshing muchiue, and a third works a 44 inch saw for cutting logs. Tho fa,rm' house is brillianlly-lightedi- and well heated by electricity. The kitchen is supplied with an electrically heated cooking stove, and in tho laundry, the flat irons nre heated by the same power. In the dairy tho churns and olhor appliances all havo electric motor attachments, The grounds are lighted by several aro lamps, and the uso ot these in the barns greatly facilitates the work and lessens the danger of firo. SOME MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.. In Siberia a bride, on entering her husband's house, must be prepared to show he1- skill in cooking. She is expected lo give a dinner prepared with! her own handis1, as a test of the education she has reoeivod. If she pleases her guests it is taken not only as a proof that she is well qualified for her new position, but that hor family is a worthy one, since her parents have trained their daughter so successfully. ' There is another laud where thrift is expected of the young folks. In Holland, says tho Rev. E. G. Hardy in the Quiver, a girl is bound to ask,kar future husband if he can afford to pay the wedding fees. In Norway, however, things are not quite so promising. The Norwegians are always trying to put the best foot foremost, and they-do it in reference to marriage as well as In referonce lo other matters. It is st.id that a young, man once went oat to seek a wife, and, came fo a farmhouse where there was more wit thtin money. The only thing of which the farmer could boast was one new sleeve to his coat. This must be made the most of. "Pray take a seat," he said, hospitably. "But this room is shockingly dusty," and so saying, he went about wiping tables and benches with his new sleeve, while he carefully kept the old one behind him. His wife possessed one new shoe, and one only, bul she made the most of it by pushing (he furniture iu place with it and keeping the other hidden beneath her skirts. "It is very untidy here," she said. "Everything is out of place." Then they called to the daughter fo como and put things to rights. But the only new thing she. possessed was a cap. So she kepi putting her head in a,t the door, and nodding and nodding. "For my part," she said, "I can't bo everywhere at once." Thus lhey all tried to make the young man behove that tho household was well-to-do. One cannot 'but think that the methods of Siberia and Holland aro most likely to lead to happiness in the end. After Other Medicine* Failed no Wat -tJurcd by Dr. Wllllaiin' Pink Fills��������� Every Dose Counted lu tbo Battle or Pain. From tbe News, Alexandria^ Ont. , There is no more popular hotel clerK in' Eastern Ontario than Mr. Peter McDonoll, of the Grand Union Hotel, Alexandria. At tho present timo Mr. McDonoll is in the enjoyment of per- feot health, and a stranger meeting him for tho first timo could not imagina that a man with tbe healthy glow and1 , onergetio manner of1 Mr. McDonell oould ovor have felt a symptom of disease, v Thero is a story, however, __ir* connection with the splendiddog'reoot health attained by him Lhat Is worth' telling. It is a well known fact that) a few, years ago he was the victim of the most exorucialing pains of rheumatism. Knowing these facts a Newa reporter oallod on Mr. McDonell for th6 purpose of eliding fuller particulars. Withnut hesitation he attributed his present sound state of health to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. "I am" said' he 33 years of age, but threo years ago I did not expect to live this long. At lhat time I was connected with the Commercial hero and as part of my duties was to drive tho busses to and from the C. A. B. station, I was exposed to all kinds of weather and subjected to tho sudlon extremes of heat and. cold. Along in the early1 spring I was suddenly attacked with tho most terrible pains in my limbs and body. I sought relief in doctors and then in patent medicines, but all to no purpose; nothing seemed to afford erlief. For two months I was a helpless invalid, suffering constantly lhe moat excruciating .pains. My hands and feet swellod and I was positive the end was approaching. My heart was effectedand indeed I was almost in despair, whon fortunately a, friend of our family recommended the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I began us.ing them in Mayi 18BG, ami had taken three boxes before I noticed any change, but from that time every dose counted. The blood seemed lo thrill through my, veins, and by tho time I had finished the fifth box every trace of tho dis- oase had vanished. Ever since thon I havo beeD working hard and frequent^- ly long overtime, but have continued in excellent health. Whenever I feel tlie slightest symptom of the trouble I use. the pills for a da'yl or so and soon feel as well ae ever. I feel that 1 owe my health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla and nover lose an opportunity of recommending thorn to others suffering as I was. ! Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by, going to tbe root of tho disease. They renew und build up the blood, and strengthen the nerves, thus driving diseaso from tlie system.

Dlsllnsiilslied by'Many Acts or Heroism��������� Proverbially Domestic litHttitct���������Punishment Tor Iurrncllnii or Virtue. The foremost place among the varies Christian nationalities cannot but '... bo assigned to the Greeks on account of lheir intellectual superiority. Physically, as well as mentally, the Greek women of lo-day exhibit the characteristic traits of fch'eir Hellenic ancestry, and types of almost classical purity, arc constantly to be met with, not only tho free Hellas, but also in parts of tho Oitoman Empire. In certain localities, and more particularly in Macedonia, the Greek type has no doubt ^ much deteriorated from ��������� admixture wilh Slav and olher foreign elements. It has, however, remained almost perfect in many of the islands, and some of tho finest specimens ot tho race are to be found in Asia Minor, not on fhe seaboard alone, but in many towns and villages of the interior. ' ( The heroism which the long struggle 'for independence called forth in the Greek men was shared by their mothers, their sisters, and their daughters, , The domestic history of these troubled times is faithfully and graphically recorded in the folk songs ot this suffering people, and to these spontaneous outburst of untutored feeling we must- turn to hear how, lhe wife of tho Kle- p'ht .chieftain waited with great im-1 patience far news of 'him, or lamented him as dead; was carried captive to the harem of the Turkish General, or, rather than submit to such a fate, precipitated herself and her child over some precipice. During tho protracted ck go ol Misdolongkl the women and "'" girls aided the defenders by bringing materials of every description to stop broaches made by the Turkish artillery. One of the surviving heroines ��������� of this famous siege, who died in Athens some GO years' later, expressod on her deathbed a wish to be buried in the pallikar's dress which she had worn during the war" and had over since treasured in secret. The Greek poet Kostas Palamas has made Ibis incidont the subject of a long poem, in which he describes how Captain Philio's ' daughter donned at her father's command the full white kilt, braided vest and jacket and felt capote, and stood in lhe breach at his side, pistol in hand, while he directed his cannon at the enemy. Her father slain, sho had escaped in one of Lha many sorties with t'he assistance of a comrade, who afterward becamo 'her husband. Nor was tho outbreak on Pelion in 1878 without its heroines. The daughters and sisters of t'he patriots not only braved tho whizzing rifle bullets and the risk of eaplure to carry- food and water to their relatives in the inirenchinents, but", as one of their own folk-songs records, would t'hem selves on occasions, "bravely fight and gladly strive for Freedom." The name of one girl, Marighitza, a native of the village of Makrinitza, on the hills above Volo, now Greek territory, was more especially mentioned for intrepi dity, and when the insurrection was over sire was sent for lo Athens to be presented to the King and Queen and FETED BY THE INHABITANTS. A far more sensational story, bow- ���������ever, is that of a woman named Per- islera, "T'he Pigeon,"'who was an actual combatant in the rebellion, during which her brother met his death. On'the, occasion of hostilities this wo- ; man joined a band of brigands and became their leader under the name of "Vanghelli,'. to which her followers added the 6ib.br'quel, of Spano,: "The Beardless.'' After pursuing the calling of Klepjhlt for some two years without her sex being discovered she finally gave, in her submission to the an-, tlhorities, was pardoned and became,a domestic servant in tlh'e household of the Bishop of Kodjani. A photograph taken at the time represents her , in full Klepht costunie���������sword, pistols and yataglhan at waist, gun in hand and suspended round her neck the insignia of c'hieftianskip, a large silver, disk bearing in relief a representation of the Greek patron Saint George in his conflict with the Dragon. Such heroic qualities, however, are only brought to the surface by.exceptional circumstances, for the virtues of the Greek women generally aro essentially domestic. Thie more remote the community and the more isolated from contact with t'he outer world, the more rigid generally is found j.o be t:h!e code of social morals AFTER 20 TEABS John Nicholas Babcock, of Shared Lake, Released.

"But better late than never," runs the proverb, and Mr. Babcock is grateful al escaping from the clutches ot Kidney Disease at all. .He says: "After twenty years of pain caused' by Gravel and other Kidney Trouble, Iam pleased to make itknown that I have been completely cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills.

The Nelson Tribune says that Thc Review has been devoting too much space to it (Tribune). True; when game is badly winged much less powder will bring it down. The miners of New Denver will form a union. "Papa" played by the Stuart & Bird Company drew a crowded house at Spencer's ball last night. Mr. Bennett, of the Palace saloon, upon the return of Mr. Walmsley from thc East, will take up the management of the Humbler-Cariboo mine. There are cigars and cigars, but if you really want a good healthy smoke, of a cigar that will not rob your purse, you will use thc "Interior" or ''La Morena" manufactured by the Inland Cigar Manufacturing Co. of Kamloops. One trial carries conviction. If the intellectual giant up tho gulch will only make an estimate of what the railways of Canada will cost at 510,000 per mile, lie will be in a better position to show how the Conservative party, or any other party of Canada, will be able to purchase tho railways of the country. We do not intend to.argup the question with him, for kicking af, "nothing is yery straining,*to say the least of it. The city council arc trying to make the Provincial' government bear the expenses of what is culled the "small- | pox epidemic." There certainly is no reason that Sandon should bear them. Thc case did not originate in the city. It had its origin at a mine outside the city, in the unorganized territory, and the patient might as well have gone to Kaslo or Nelson as here. Because he chose to come here and the city hud to go to the expense to protect the citizens, is no reason its people should bear the burden. ^rtr^^^^i^if?if?rt^^rk^rt^^ Established in 3892.

A copy of the Statistical Year-book, for 1S98, issued by the Dcpt. of Agriculture, Ottawa, has been received at this office. The issue is more complete than any of its predecessors, and is full of statistics interesting to all public and ba-jiness men, publishers, etc. : Messrs.,Moody and Wilkins, volunteers from Kaslo, came into the city-on Sund.-iy bound for the Transvaal. They, were joined at Revelstoke' by the contingents from the south and west. There does not appear to be .my one in Sandon who is anxious to stop Boer bullets. The report that the mine owners of the Sloean are trying to reduce wages is- simply misleading and untrue-. They formerly paid. 35 cents per hour, and they now 'offer'?/"������ cents. They never asl^cd for a reduction 01 hours in the day. Restore the day,'to ten hours again and they 'will as gladly as ever pay the. $3.50. Is tliis an indication of a desire on their part to reduce wages? Alter a rest of several weeks,.the band, has resumed its practices. Wc understand that some of the mining officials and a few of tlie citizens,-who appreciate a-good thing and recognizing the impossibility of eight or ten members keeping up the necessary expenses of such an institution, are at the botwnii of the resumption of ''bus- inees" and have very generously proffered their support.

Tho Editor had a talk with a-mem- ber 01 the Miners'Union, the other day, on the advisability of taking, incapable 'anil inexperienced men into the unions,' and his reply was, "If we don't t.-ikci them in, the owners will' hire l-hi.-m. at ���������:', though experienced men .worth a dollar' a day more are refused .?>.."<(), and work their mines witii them. We take them in, not because they nr-j miners, but iii self, protection." There is some truth in this from any point of view, and much in it from a ".���������.'���������liner's point of view.
