The expert arrived on a late train���not a special, though he admits travelling that way as a general thing. Tbe morning piper's announcement of his arrival caused a rush of coal-mine owners ..to. the hotel, but two only are of interest for the purposes of this story��� a Mr. Zephyr, whose fame as a company promoter is continental, and an ex-artilleryman from one of the coast counties of Connau^hr, who is possibly better known as a minstrel than as a mine-owner. These arrived betimes; Mr. Zephyr wishing to secure an interview before breakfast waited in the cnrirdor, but could not resist the temptation to harangue those within hearing, po-sibly with a view to having his eloquence at its best when the object of his visit appeared. Meanwhile the bard, who felt that time was precious, approached,his friend, the genial host, explained the situation and begged to know the number of the great man's reception room, .He learned it and was soon tremblingly obeying tht? gracious, ." Er���come in/' With all the self-control po sibie under such circumstances he faltered : "Sir, I have some coal I should like you to look at. It is from a newly-discovered coal field." % " Yes ; have you a specimen ?" " Not here, sir." " Well, later," " But it's only downstairs, *ir." u Oh, bring it up." The ex-artilleryman descended to the cellar and commandeered a few lumps of go ��d Fernie coal (he really hadn't time to go home for his own samples), wrapped them up carefully and again ascended. With proper ceremony and explaining that the specimens were hardly up to the average of the new property, he finally submitted a sample to the sage. As the latter gazed at it, a pitying smile o'erspread his features ; then with a patient sigh he produced a knife and scraped. Another Bigh, and then, quite kindly: "My go >d fellow, I'm very sorry, but I can't do anything for you. That coal won't do for coking I" A stare, a Galway grin, then dow- eta;rs whistling, "Muldoon he's a solid man," and then, " Coal expert, eh ! Consulting engineer ��h ! He's as big a grafter as I am." Political dovecotes have lately been fluttered by nn editorial in tho Toronto Globe nw^ \ ^ '^w^. if'1 ' '��� lfi\ \ 'W) �� . It) gesting the obliteration of party line- in provincial government. Although the Globe once called a boy orator from this Province a liar and a slanderer (and, by the way, he was a Liberal M. P.,) and has lately fallen foul of Mr. Tarte, it may hz considered the organ of the English-speaking Lil>eai contests, there is something exqui-iteiy humorous in ihe Globe's proposal. The Liberal party has been in power in Ontario for thirty years. Tne last two elections in '98 and "02 respectively, have been won at terrible cost and by means that ever; stanch Libernls gasp at. At the close of the last contest, unprecedented private bribery and statesmanlike corrupting of constituencies', eked out hy ballot stuffing and ballot-stealing and all the other mo-t modern devices of the ** Hug-ihe- uiachine-Biys," as Mr. W T. R. Preston so happily named his pupils���all thest netted tne Government a majority of one, and that has yet to run the fiery gauntlet of election trials. And the GL>be suggests a coalition ! " Well," said the burglar, as he stared down the muzzle of the revolver of his temporary host, '4I dou't want it all , Jet's go halve-/' an honor conferred' on it at the hands 0f Great Britain which has been steadily deny to any European power, namely, to become our ally. That people is generally admitted to bn wot thy this honor. The British .Colim,. hians notoriously wish to include the Japan. ese in their insulting legislation. Yet the successor co the mantle and spirit of Sir Jo))n MacdnnaM tells them that there is no Im- perial consideration which should hinder them Tnis. is the one piece of statesmanship thai we hivi had from the new leader of the anti-intercourse party, and it is not a credit, able, oiie." f Tr.e following story is told of Sir El- mund Barton, by way of illustrating his aversion, not only to Mongolian, but to all forms of undesirable immigration. A deputation of Poukohobors waited on him with re ference to the importation of a colony of .their countrymen to the Antipodes. u I am very sorry, gentlemen," he said, "hut under our law any shipmaster who landed one of your num ber Ui ( ur shores would be liable io a pen .hy of ��200. The only way in which you could possibly come in would be as shipwrecked mariners, and I fancy you would n't care to enter under those conditions." The Aru-derdam publishing firm of Worm- j ser announce.** that it will publish General De Wet's book in a few months. Of the papers supporting the Liberal administration, the Winnipeg Free Press and the Montreal Witness m/iy be regarded among the most prominent. On many important question it is safe ��o accept the utterances of either publication as Femi-official This being assumed, considerable interest will b�� attached to the following article from the Montreal Witness, and which ho fully merited theappro- val of the Free Press that it copied the article in full, even going a little further by embroidering it with the heading, " Mr. Border ��H One Piece of Statesmanship ' " : "The British- Columbians, or some of them wish to put a stigma and disabilities on certain races of people whose one unpardonable crime in that they do too much work for the money p..id them. One of these peoples has recently had Senator Templeman is reported assaying that the views of Kootenay mining men are so divergent that he finds it hard lo arrive at any conclusion wtft regard to what is really wanted to encourage the mining industry.

Anyone who has lived in the Kootenay for any length of time will I* ���prepared to admit that mining men generally are unable to tell exactly what they do want. There is no question so much nmunderstoud and the worst of it is that the men who should be able to throw some light on the subject seem to be quite as much in the dark as lbs ones who are seeking information.

PinlaVBon over th* he^d with his walking- stick. Mike turned and hit the constable such a biff wiih his fist that that official staggered. Then he got another which drew the red and this time he went down. Then the Kevelstoke chief of police rushed to his a^iat- ance. Mike put him down, too, by the same method, and when they both arose from terra firma they made'u combined rtiflh on the plucky lacrosse player. This aroused Capt. McKay, of Kamloops, aud he rushed up and started to handle the chief's face in a manner that was annoying to that official. Then both showed their badges, they being in plain clothes. This did not for a moment stop the facial examination that the two players were, making of the officials. The. latter '-managed to secure one handcuff* apiece on the Kanv. loops boys' wristH, and then the ludicrous spectacle was observed of those'having the manacles on punching straight left-handers into the optics of the too-officious policemen.

Another picture hat in all black had a large blackbird with outspread wings flat on the crown, seemingly held in place by a large ribbon bow. The bright shades are in demand this season, and combinations of parrot green and peacock blue, ruby and old rose appear to be quite popular. A very effective hat of parrot greeii eamel's hair with peacock blue trimmings^was shown, also one of ruby and old rose velvet, trimmed with two parrots in natural tints. Another attractive bat was all red, having a frilled velvet crown, Tam OShanter effect.

[Being a true account of one hundred and twenty minutes in the life of Gaston le Strenuous, by the author of "WilPyum and M*��," "The Stovepipe of Papa," "To Get and to Hang On T >, 'and "Toe Conceit of Om-iha.*'] IT was a mild morning in April, 1610, around tep o'clock when I, Gaston le Strenuous arrived at the outskirts of the capital of Bu- ritania. I wag speculating on my chances of future greatness when I observed a cloud of dust rapidly approaching. Nearer and nearer it rolled, and nearer and nearer the thunder of hoofs resounded. At length a fiery jennet flashed into view. One glance at the fair rider's face revealed tb me Elizabeth de Sau- terne Moselle, whose image was destined never to fade from m> heart- When opposite where I stood the noble steed fell exhausted. But a few paces behind in frantic leaps sped ihe form of a royal Bengal tiger. It sufficed but an instant to dismount, and the ready sword of my ancestors flished in the sunlight. The combat was strenuous. Backward and forward we swayed. Finally the tawny beast grasped the sword and wrenched it from my hands, when with a last despairing effort I seized him by the throat,'and, bending his head backward, broke his neck. Scarce bad the combat terminated and I wa9 resting from my labors when suddenly as though sprung from the earth there encircled , me a troop of horse who-e b:ulg��*, th�� fam >u<* 1 two crossed, sky-blue mackerel rain pant, b����re feufficient testimony to the fact that they were the minions of him wboin men then named with bated breathes the '*pea-ijreen cardinaL" ��� ;00a.;o; "Ha J what is this !" exclaimed the leader, in whom I was not at a lost* to perceive the' notorious ruffian, Charlatrousse de la Vih' Or- dinaife. "A violation of the edicts relative to the .killing of Bengal tigers! Surrender, caitiff r "Never," I cried, and the attack began. They were fifty-three of the most renowned swordsmen in E'irnpe so it took fnilv tn * * at - minutes before ihey wee placed hors de combat. As my dagger was clicking merrily against the gorget of the last I accidentally .>au*-ed to note the worried look which was spreading over the fair face of Mile, de Sauterne-Mor-elle. Like a flash the situation presented it-elf to me. A similarity of feature, form and bearing revealed that unwittingly I was about to slay her brotber-in-law. ' " S'death," I crhd, "young man your life is spared." "But not my honor, "garizooks," he answered. " I had sworn to take thee alive." "Gramercy for thy courtesy," and we were about to re-engage when the pleading"expres' sion of my loved one's countenance determined me. " My sword, i'faith, I will never surrender," I cried, breaking it across my knee. " But fair youth, I follow you."' As the iron .doorn of the royal prison for in ebriates clanged behind, I indee*i telt that all hope had departed. Thrust into a narrow ceil half full of water tod half of air I began speculating on the chai.ee.-* of escape. But one opportunity presented itself. Unbuckling my strong leather belt, i detached the buckle, which'was soon fashioned into a. serviceable pickaxe. Ten feet of solid granite were soon p erced, and before my friend the warden again 'passed on his round;* 1 was swinging by the leather thong over one hundred feet of space. A quick drop into the moat and I breathed the air of freedom. But not for long Cannon-halls rained around me as I sped up the street. 1 count it no cowardice that i did not stop to pick up my hat, which one had knocked off. Turning into a narrow street I was congratulating myself when a noise like thunder pealed forth. Huge cracks opened in the pavement. Trapped at last. 1 had unwarily entered upon .'a section of the city where a rapid transit road was being constructed. Suddenly, afier a franiiu effort to regain my footing, 1 fell into a yawning cavern thai opened before me. When 1 awoke all was darkness. The d-tup earth encompassed me dose abou*, Out by strenuous exertions 1 finally managed to wriggle fir s*t one, then ail ten toes. And now began a forward burrowing which was necessarily slow, . One, two, ihiee. lour and five onle- were toilsomely travelled within the bowels of the earth. Al length a stone wall seemed to bar further progre.-s. Wrenching away a giant bowlder, however, 1 feii for ward into a f damp void. One glance around sufficed to convince me that 1 was in the dungeon of the ���palace. Had 1 but exchanged a Jcylla fer a Chary bdis J But soon the voices recalled me to myself The speaker could be none other than the pea- green cardinal. " For reasons of stale," he was saying, ���' it is expedient that King B.udolph die." A click of steel seemed to \i\ve answer. Remembering the sage advice of my fecond cou.-in one remove, never to count odd-, I plunged at them. A noble fight we hud'in that grim old dungeon. The last of the dozen bravi was but rendering his expirirg' nigh when lights flashed and the king entered with Mile. de'Siiuterne Moselle on his arm. " Ha ! what is it methinks 1 ste ? Treason! Take this as an eternal evidence of thy sovereign's gratitude," and he joined our bunds. One instant our entire being surged up within m.

Warsaw, Russian Poland, is to have a stutuo of Chopin. An American millionaire, it is reported tried to purchase the Thorney Abbey estate from tho Duke of Bedford j The miIIrace runs with ceaaeleaa flow, | The mill wheel rusts and nmken no sound As when a boy���long, long ago��� ' I watched it whirling round mid round. The mil! stands roofless, gaunt and ban., And wild weed* grow around each wall, No sounds awake the silence then?, Save when the rooks discordant call The dam, once clear tm mountain spring, is now choked up with rush and tm\%e\ And noisome weeds, unthrifty, cling Around its std! and stagnant edge. Old Sam, the dtuty miller, steep* Long years benenth the churchyard clay, And twilling ivy fondly creep** Around hi* tomb, thue-wom and gray. Well, well, I mind mc the last day He hobbled to his cottage door; We urchins ceased our thoughtless play, He smiled and said *��� My work in o*ek** And as he on the threshold stood, His dim eym, shaded by hh* hands, Looked lovingly at vide mnl wim! Bound AnnesteyV fair aud fertile bud*. He mixed acrojife-the mllt-dam's rim, He looked at sluice &m\ upper weir ; Then from hi* ey^ grown dark and dim, I saw him wipe away a tear. They laid him on his bed that night, But at the dawning of the dny Tours honest spirit winged i&* flight And soared to reals us of peace away* No trace is now of trelilsed wall. Or roof that crowned the miller'** cot, Suve where tlie gome and wild briar* em w I In rude profusion round the spot, This tiusy mart, in duyn long tied, t Where rustic feats of strength we*e shown,, is now as sil��>ut as the dead, Its trodden ways with gni*s oVr-grown. No farmer now, with golden grain, I'arols the dusty road along, Guiding his heavy.freighted wain, 'Twixt snatches of some uprightly song. Tne rustic gnrues, the farmer's lay, The merry dance of jig nod reel, Have passed forever, passeii away, Like ruined mill and silent wheel. I mark the change* time has wrought, To-day, iu hedgerow, lane nnd tree, .But fail to note���oh bitter thought !��� What changes time has made In me. The sombre sky above my head, The wailing wind, ho Had and low, Seem like a requiem for the dead And hurled past of long ago. Yet still the mill-race waternrun, Bounding to meet tlie restless sen, As conscious, when that goal is won. From pent-up hankM forever free. Sad emblem of this land to-day, Whose sons have lost their uirm' devotion, And from green Erin basteaway, To slave and die beyond the ocean. -~KnwA!t:D M'Gkatii. i. ir-cy lt is believed that Germany'a attitude on the Jew question is in ey in pa thy with that of the American Secretary of State.
