The general staff, however, declares that the enemy is too much exhausted for an immediate attack. According to General Kuropatkin the Russians are fast reorganizing their forces, and ou the alert. According to General Mastoff the extent of the loss to the third army is still unascertained. General Kuropatkin is highly commended for leading the onslaught against General Nogi, on March 10, which is believed to have prevented the complete loss of the second and third armies. There is no-news of General Ren- neukanipff. It is feared that his division of Trans-Baikal Cossacks shared the fate of the Caucasus cavalry brigade. Two officers, Albrecht and Hartmann, report that they are the only survivors 'of that brigade wliich remain to tell the tale of the fighting of Friday and Saturday, when ��������� the cavalry were sacrificed in order to cover the retreat of the rear guard. A Japanese force of infantry and artillery is repotted to be approaching Vladivostok. This gives rise to the belief that siege is contemplated. . - In connection wilh the announcement of .GeneralKuropatkin's offer to resign comes a statement from an equally authoritative source, that General - Kuropackin attributes his ���������failure to thc inadequacy of his .reinforcements and, that he points put the hopelessness of - achieving'., any conclusive result, until' overwhelming forces are in the-east. * '-'- ������������������"---- ^ .

Kamloops had a" visitor on Wednesday, W.-'X. McKenzie, whose romantic history was given some months ago iu the Sentinel. He was on his way to Chicago to see his only sister, and so far as he knows, his sole relative, whom he has not seen since they were children together 55 years ago. Left orphans when very young, two brothers and their one sister were taken care of by widely separated people. Since then the brothers alone have met and that only once, iu 1S80. Mr. McKenzie crossed the plains to this province in company with the now gold commissioner,] G. Tunstall, J. A. Mara, etc., and came down the Fraser to Quesnel and tbence to Cariboo. He afterwards lived in Kamloops, Revelstoke and other points in B. C, and finally drifted to the Yukon. While there his sister advertised in the Sentinel in the hope of finding the brother she had hot seen or heard of for over half a century. Mr. Tunstall saw the advertisement and at once communicated with Mr. McKenzie. The letter went to Barkerville, but he had left there for the Yukon, and there the letter followed him to Dawson, It there fell into* the hands of another Wm. McKenzie,* who opened and read the letter aud was on the point of returning it to the post office when he noticed on the hotel register the name .of Wm. X. McKenzie. "Perhaps this is for you," he said, and then for the first time the brother learnt that his sister was living, woll and happy. In a few days they will bo reunited, Mr. McKenzie having left here for Chicago yesterday morning.���������Kamloops Sentinel. - . .

At a meeting on Tuesday evening it was decided to reorganise the Revelstoke Football Club for the ensuing year. The prospects are exceedingly bright fora successful season as there are several new players in the city. It was decided to leave the election of the -executive committee until the next meeting which will be held some time next week of which due notice will be given. All those interested in football are cordially invited. Theie were about forty members enrolled at the meeting and everybody seemed to be enthusiastic so that the probabilities are that Revelstoke will be heard from in loot- ball circles during the season. K. of P. Notice. All members of the Knights of Pythias arc specially requested to attend the regular meeting on March 22nd. Business of importance will be voted upon. Stewart McDonald, K.ofR. andS. ""'The'Lat'e^H. j. Bourne The death of -Mr. Henry J. Bourne, which took" place, at his. residence early _ Saturday morning last, March llth, "will be.mdurried by a large circle of friends in the city and throughout the ' province, ��������� where 7" Ke j was best known. AboufcVtwo, weeks ngo'-.Mv. Bourne was taken seriously, ill and was: confined^ to^Jsis v ifoiabr -but-; his death, while expected by the friends at -the bedside for "the twenty-four hours previous, was not 'looked for by the public generally and the announce-, ment made shortly after 8 o'clock on Saturday morning that 'Mr. Bourne had just passed away was received with genuine sorrow. In the death of "Harry Bourne," as he was familiarly called by his intimate friends, Revelstoke loses one of its pioneer business men, and one who was esteemed aud respected by the entire community for his many excellent qualities. In life Harry Bourne was regarded with affection, he was a loyjil friend and of a generous disposition, always taking, an active interest. in- any movement tending to the advancement of the city and district, he will be sadly missed in this cily. To his wife who was at his side continually dining his illness, and at the time of his death with the brothers John, Frank and Edward, the Herald speaking on behalf of the friends here, extends heartfelt sympatliies_to-theiruin their. sad bereavement. The funeral of the lato Mr. Bourne took place on Moi.day afternoon from his late residence to St. Peter's church where the Rev. C. A. Procunier preached the funeral sermon paying a high tribute to the deceased, and thence to the cemetery where tho remains were deposited in their last resting place. A marked evidence of thc respect in wliich the. deceased was held was shown hy the large attendance of citizens desirous of paying a tribute of respect. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in this cith. The following were tho pall bearers : Messrs. W. M. Brown, II. N. Couisier, Chas. Holten, M. J. O'Brien, F. Young -and W. Morris. Wreaths were sent by the following sorrowing relatives and friends :���������Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Bourne, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Bourne, Mr. and- Mrs. J. D. Bourne, Mr. and Jlrs. J.

Montreal Journal Predicts a Big Political Revolution and that Further Resignations are Probable. Montreal, March 15.���������La Presse publishes a despatch from Ottawa, statiug that Sir Wilfrid Laurier has decided not to yield an inch on the educational clauses of the autonomy bill, and that rather than do so tho premier would prefer to see bis government defeated. The despatch adds that the country is on the eve of a big political revolution and it declares that fourteen Liberal members have signified to Laurier their intention of opposing the bills, and that another prominent cabinet minister is likely to resign on the question. Harold Nelson Company On Tuesday evening,.-whal may be well said to be Harold Nelson's best production here���������namely "Paul Kau- var"���������was played to adarge audience. The plot ceuties aiound the time of the French Revolution, and is .full of dramatic incident and pathos. The staging of tho various scenes met with great approval, especially that depicting the dream of Paul Kauvar; the-effect of which was heightened " by Mr. Harold Nelson's realistic actiug of tlie difficult title role.. His various pathetic scenes wilh "Diane" (Miss Helen Scott) were.well presented,' aud gave him scope for the use of his dramatic powers which he made tbe most effective uso of. As virtue needs but villainy to commend itrto our sympathies Mr. Nelson could not have bad a better foil than Mr. Clifford Lane - Bruce,, whose cunning schemes, underlying the whole situation, ended so disastrously for himself. Mr. Bruce's acting throughout was of .that clean and finished style which .we know so 'well and:lu\ve always-appreciated in .him.'' General Delardche,' whose unfortunate' social position surrounds him with dangers, was ably presented by Mr. Wm.^BIake, and' left no room for criticism. The' same may be said too, of Honore Albert Maxime (Mr. George Anderson) and the other male members of the company who form together a strong cast. The burner ous touches'introduced by Dodolphe Potin (Wm. Yule) and his wife-Nanette (Miss Crete Cbadwick) never failed to raise the spirits of their audience at the proper time, and showed that they weie not theie without good leason 'and better appreciation." "Diane de Beaumont" who elicited the sympathy of the audience, was splendidly portrayed by Miss Helen Scott. In her distracting scenes with Paul and" her exciting emotional situations she appeared to good advantage and amply justified the praise she elicited. To sum tt up, this emotional drama was well presented, and Mr. Harold Nelson must _haye_felt_gratjfital_thstf^his efforts_iu_et with such well merited success. He returns on the 23rd of this month when he will present "Richelieu." The Piatt Fanning Company Tbis Company opened their flrst visit to a good house last night with a production of "Tbe Stowaway." Although this style of play seems hardly suited to tho Revelstoke playgoer's taste, yet its performance was a good one, and well staged. The actors threw themselves 'into tlieir work heart aud soul lo please their audience, and succeeded. As Tom InglissMr. Frank Farming's pleasing persoiialitj*, added to his capable work, al all times elicited the kindly sympathy of those who witnessed his struggle against the villainous schemes of bis cousin Charles Etherington, (Russell Reid) whose thankless task was well performed throughout. Florence Etherington (Miss Molice Campion) up to thu time of her untimely end at the hands of her husband Charles, evinced, as did Althea Dale (Miss Georgia Francis) a winning manner, combined with capabilities of a high mder. Dicky Dials (Sydney I'latt) was good his dialect being flawless, and at times most convincing. Of the rest of the company too, not forgetting the able impersonation of Chucky, a newsboy, by Miss Juliette Chandler, we can only speak in praise. Tonight will be presented "Tennessee's Pardner", and on Saturday night "Shall we Forgive Her," two plays in a lighter vein with a pleasing strain of comedy running through them. Cost Him His Life '���������John Olds lias the finest cougar skin I have seen for many a day," said a well known Rosslander, who has just returned from a visit to Halcyon Hot Springs. "Olds lives with his family on Arrow lake aboul a mile and a half south of Steele's landing, A few days since his wife heard the dog barking and went to the front door and much to her surprise saw the family dog running as fast as he could, while bounding behiud him was a large and tierce-looking cougar. The dog took refuge under the porch aud was barking like one possessed, while thc cougar stood in front of the porch and scratched and tore at the ground in front of the purch in an endeavor to ieach the dog. Mrs. Olds cluscd the door and shouted to her husband, who was in the barn in the rear of the house. " He came running in aud thinking that it was a lynx, instead'of a cougar, took his shotgun, instead of his rifle, and hurried to the front of the house. Just as soon as he appeared the dog, encouraged by reinforcements in the shape of bis master with a shotgun, came from underneath the-porch and began worrying the tiger. - In a second or two the cougar had grabbed bim and was hurrying away with long jumps towards tho woods. Jlr. Olds fired a charge of bird shot into him and the big cat dropped tbe dog and turned and snailed and'growled at him. Then he quickly picked up (he dog and away he went when a second charge of shot was fired into the cougar's body, but,us the animal was sonic distance away the shot did not do much barm. Jfhen the cougar disappeared into the wnodsl Mr. Olds returned to the--house,'-'secured his rifle and tracked the cougar for some distance.' Finally'he found half the dog's body buried in tbe snow, part of it had'been "eaten and the remainder buried for another meal.

Jt is nature's plan lo grow the framework first and lay on fut afterward, nnd if lhe animal is improperly nurtured .so ns lo modify its hone, muscles nnd internal organs, o\en to a slight extent, iu a few generations the ill effects become vory marked. 'the best food, therefore, for a growing hog is that wliich gives strength to the bones and development to thc muscles, increasing lho fibre of tlic liver and other internal organs. This gives a greater capacity for thc circulation of blood, supplying the elements of nutrition to all parts of the body. Corn, either whole or ground, more generally fed. Jt is grown the farm, relatively cheap, rich carbohydrates and having for special function tho production fat. It .should not be fed Without ri full knowledge of its composition and limitation. For the breeder who is looking for greater development of framework corn should constitute only a third to half of tho ration, thc lesser amount, given to the youngest, animal. Investigations in thc feeding of corn alone und in combination with more protein foods, such as middlings, skim milk ond dried blood, show that there was about half as much blood in the animal with corn fed pigs and that where middlings were fed the livers weighed 48 ounces against 31 ounces with pigs fed corn nlone. The tenderloin and other muscles were more greatly 'developed from protein-rich rations and the breaking strength of the thigh bone was 8SO pounds with the corn meal ration, but .-503 pounds where thc pigs were fed milk, middlings or blood. Middlings nnd other carbonaceous mill by-products are said to have a. tendency to produce soft pork and sliould be fed in connection with corn meal, barley or other grains. J3rnn furnishes . much - protein audi mineral matter, but is fibrous and; chaffy''in character and unfit for the stomach of a young pig, although when more mature some bran can bo fed with advantage. Where skim milk is available with corn or rice meal, it is one of the best, rations. Investigations curried on at the Wisconsin experiment station showed tlfat where one to three pounds skim milk was fed wilh one pound!corn mcnl, 327 pounds of milk would save 100 pounds menl. likewise, when the proportion of tkim milk to corn'meal was 3 to f>, 5 to 7 and 7 to 9 pounds to one pound meal. 440, 574 and 552 pounds respectively of skim milk would save 100 pounds meal. 1'igs weighing 75 to 100 pounds will consume 3J to 4 pounds grain feed per day, and whore skim milk is equivalent to one pound grain. In answer to the above question. J ���������.vould suggest feeding . middlings with li pounds corn meal'rived, Ht last, at mixed in a slop.

Lastly, young fruit trees nre sometimes injured hy severe winter winds. The only remedy is n wind-break, which should have been planned for and the trees to bo used for the purposo set at the time of the establishing of the fruit plantation. Such a wind-break not. only affords protection from winter winds, but is valuable because of tho protection it gives dining the blooming and fruiting season. TJOCS DO WICI.,1., ON I'OTATOKS.

That the tnrilT of the United Stntes. however, performs its functions as n protective measure bettor than does that of the Dominion is shown bv tho fact that whilo 00.por cent, of Canada's Imports were products of the United States, of Canada's total exports only 33 2-3 per cont. wore tuken by --ho United States.

Thc teacher of geology ls a working cabinetmaker, who began by studying at thc college; and tho teacher of botauv is a tea taster in the city. Tlic majority or. the students have always been working men. Many who have prospered in business', have owed their advance to the facilities afforded by tho college. A working jeweller, who once tended the classes, left ������0,000 tho college when he died.

It is easy thus to see how, either through un arrangement, with the hangman or some abnormal physical formation or power of resistance, a malefactor might survive the ordeal and ho little tbo worse for it, says London Tit-Mils. Such cases wero numerous unlil Into in the eighteenth century, and the famous .Jack K'otch was responsible for some of them. Ono of Jack's supposed victims, a woman called ,7ano Wilson.* Was taken from the gallows by her friends for burial ono duy in 1.J84, and had actually been placed in her cofl'm 'when sho recovered consciousness. Jane survived to become the mother of ten children, mrd lived far into tbe reign of the second George, dying in 1741 al. tlm ripe age .of oighty-jtwo."* Another woman who cheated tho gallows was ���������'half-hanged Mng'gie," who, a century anrl *a-hnlfago. was a very familiar and popular figuro in tho streets of Edinburgh. Maggio had been sentenced to death for some PETTY ACT OF STEALING, and was on the point of being buried when she "como to," and announced hor0 intention of living a good many years yet. Sho lived long1 enough, in fact, to attend the execution of Hho very man who had been her prosecutor. As may easily bo imagined, all kinds of .artifices were adopter! ��������� by condemned persons and their friends to battle1 thc hungninn. A common trick was to introduce a metal tube into the throat, to prevent suffocation; nnd another wns to support tho body by.cords in such a way us to remove the strain from the neck and thus make strangulation impossible; While executioners and doctors alike were bribed to release tho victims boforo life was extinct. ' ���������-Henrv Hall, wno was sentenced to death in 1775 on a charge of counterfeiting stamps, wus cut down after hanging for? a quarter of an hour, and a few hours later was smuggled on board a boat which was about, to sail for America. Ho reached New York in time to lako part in... tho. War of. Independence, rapidly reached the rank of major,1* and died forty years later ono of the wealthiest and iinost respected men in;? Pennsylvania. William Buell, who1.1 was hanged at-Tyburn, in 1740, was less fortunate in his escape from the hangman. After hanging for twenty minutes ho wns taken to the Surgeons' Hall and recovered under the stimulus of THE. piSECTfNG-KNIFE. Within a few hours he was well as over; but it was not long before ho fell once, more into the clutches of the law. and this timo lie was transported for life to -tho American plantations: Moro than ono inan it was found n. physical impossibility to bang under tlio old conditions of strangu- lntion. One Daniel Tiobsoii, according to the Observer of January I (ith,, 1.792, was actually hanged six times, "the total period.'of suspension being no less than two and a half hours;* and. on eneh occasion he did not'oven lose 'consciousness. According to the medical "evidence he owed liis immunity from strangulation, lo. his .very . muscular neck and to a peculiar construction of his windpipe." This record, howevor, was --handsomely beaten by a French- tiian, Jean- Marmnnde, who survived no fewer tlian eleven "attempts by the hangman on his life. Elizabeth'Clruy, who. was sentenced to dcntli in 1756 for' stealing a log of mutton, recovered consciousness an hourafler she was cut down, niid .survived to -.become, the -mother of. iii lurge family; and it was one of her grandsons who. aft.er Sir .Samuel Homilly, did more thnn any other man to secure the passing in 1S23 of the statues which exempted about iv hundred felonies, such ns that, for which his grandmother had been condemned lo death, from eap- ilnl punishment. 1 HOME. i * rich, doll- mo- tca- HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

She began by shying that "allhor working life sho had boon hampered by a delicate digestion, and that she ascribed the trouble entirely������������������ to not having had enough to cnt ns a growing girl ut'school." Tbis caused surprise to her auditors, who knew on what liberal scale her oal/ly homo life hud been arranged "Yes," she continued; "I? know it sounds odd that 1. should suy that, and wero my dear m'ofhor living she would be horrified that, any child of hors sliould complain of being starved, bf.it it is nevertheless true.' Then she went bn to explain that, living in the country, they wero too far from the school lo admit their returning for the noon meal. Tho cold lunch given them to take was substantial enough in its way, but afforded little temptation to a fastidious appetite, the consequence being that the pie or cake which was always included in the luncheon would ��������� be eaten, and the rest either 'traded'" or. given away: Meantime the substantial hot meal of the family had, been eaten at. noon, and when TluT1&hildrcii=i'etiirne[l-ft"om~sch()oliitho'=-| supper was tea, preserves, hot biscuits, and cake, so that only on Saturdays and Sundays did the children have a really 'square meal.'* "That this is by no means an isolated case we all know, and it behooves the mother of growing children lo bowni'o lest, her boys and girls also develop ilyspsia and in later ** life lay it to lier door!

She . described one ��������� country schoolhouse which instituted an oilstove. The older girls'took turns in heating tho ; soup or stew or oven milk brought | by the scholars and the plan worked ; vevy well. It is also a good idea to ,: have something substantial for sup- j per, if il is only porridge or cold ! meat.

The brcivd wasn't mine to g*ivo away, and I won't do it again unless I'm willing to pay for it." Although he saw whero ho had done wrong the -sympathy of the girls w*us very grateful to him. and restored his -confidence. Ue was so poor himsolf that he had a hard time to maJco ends meet, yet ho felt glad ho had given the loaf to the destitute old woman; or rather, trusted hcr with it, for ho was to bo jiaid on tlio following day. Dut he now saw he had no rig'ht to trust other perbplo's property, and that he ought to have paid for it without being told by tho foreman. After his ���������delivery on the next-day ���������Joe handed in his report. "Correct this tunc. Didn't find any poor old starving body, eh���������?" the foreman asked, .toeringly. Joo did not inake any reply, but went*; to his work, while the girls ap-| turned up their noses at the back of tho'.foreman. , The place where thoy woro working was on the fourth floor, and a largo quantity of flour m sacks had been piled there recently while the basement was ur.oergoing some repairs. Suddenly there was a croaking, groaning sound heard, and the floor bogn.n to sink. Those nearest tho windows, .which were open, ran towards lhem; but only three reached them beforo the building collapsed, lho walls bent inward,, and machinery, flour, men and women went crashing through to the basement. In a moment screams of agony catmc up from theso below who were crushed in tho wreckage. *roechad caught hold of a window sill, and had no difficulty in drawing himself to a seat on. the ledge; but lhc wall itself was tottering and ho was in great danger.

To lot go meant lo _fall__tq;^.tho^baso_ment_niid,-..almost- certain death; yet they could not hold on longer' then a few minutes.! Joe felt his nerves tingle at tho thought. (E?e turned to the outside. Tho fire-escape was about six feet beneath him and although'twisted by the bulging of the wall, it ran up to tho window where the girls woro hanging.

No timo was to bo lost, for coals from tho fur- nnco had started a fire, and as gas pipes hnd boen twisted oil", thc blazo would spread rapidly. On reaching tho third floor a portion of tho walls wliich had fallen across the escapo wus encountered, and they could go no further. Already the smoko and boat were in tlieir faces. "Girls," Joe said, there's nothing to do but jump, so come on, and be started to assist thcm over lhe railing of the escape, and in this way to let them down as far as possible beforo they dropped. Hut tit this moment the firemen arrived in the alley, and although it Has chocked with,,fallen bricks, they planted ladders and started 'up for Joe and tho girls. One at a time llio latter wore carried below. "Follow me down," the fireman said to Joe, as h'o received the second girl ovor the railing, "and be quick about it. The lire is coming!" ��������� Joo turned to look at the approaching flames, and on bringing his eye back it* took in the mass of ruins beneath him.. "Go to the second floor!" ho suddenly shouted to the firemen, and ho disappeared inward over tlie broken wall. W'Jiat had led him to take such a perilous steli? Lying head downward over a beam, ho saw.-Mr. Jacques and determined", lo rescue him. Sliding along a stool girder which inclined that way, Joo jumped to tho placo where the���������'.foreman lay, with his clothes caught on a si^ikc. Hc was unconscious but still breathing. 1-Ila.d it not been for that 'spike, he would havo boon buried under the ruins at lho first crash. But other parts of the wall were occasionally falling in. the fire was advancing, and ho must be removed at onee or loft to his fate. Tlie beam, fortunately. wt\n leaning outward towards the point where the wall had fallen nway from it, and tho inner end was hanging on a wire which was attuched to it. When Jou leaped to thc beam, all ho had to do was to shove the shoulders of the unfortunate man on to the timber, in order to niako it safe to release his clothing; otherwise he. would fall, since ho Was: too boayy foi- Joe: to hold. To get Tilr. Jacques' shoulder, on tho beam was n'o easy task, however, for Joe's strong;! h had boon nearly usod up already; but it was accomplished, after which Joe took out his pocket knife to cut thc clothing away' from the spike. It is not likely that ho could have guided tho body down the incline, an'd all his labor would have Ibeen lost but the firemen camo to his assistance, having hurried to the second floor to seo what: had become of him.

In 1800 u strong appeal reached her from Florence to como to the aid of tho Italian hospital department in lhe war with Austria; and the pathetic terms In which her inovitnblo refusal wns couched show how painfully she felt her incapacity, and how keen was her interest iu the struggle for Italian unity.

MATTERS AT VICTORIA It seems a foregone conclusion that the McBride Government will weather the session stronger than over. This it deserves, for, whatever criticism there may be of this or that particular measure', it has the courage of its convictions and has not been afraid to tackle problems which a less resolute Government would leave untouched. Take the Assessment Act, the new School bill also. No one will dispute that the problems undertaken in both of these pieces of legislation were controversial problems,���������and weak Governments bate controversial measures. Then again no one can deny that the financial problem wherever it has shown itself has been resolutely faced by the Government. Reductions of expenditure have been made where it was evident that money was not to be had to meet it without borrowing and unpopular taxation has been imposed in the successful effort to make ends meet. Now this is distinctly what this Province has wanted fora long time,��������� a Government which is not to lie intimidated but; which will face the problems which beset us and meet them and not be turned aside either by the threats of supporters in the House or the adverse criticism of friends or? foes outside. There has been an immense growth of confidence in the future of tbe Province since the present Government took office and since the surplus was announced, and we may feel ���������assured'' this.,confidence must be materially increased by the firm and courageous manner in which the members of the cabinet liave conducted the work of the House since the Session opened. The next problem to be faced seems to be the railway problem.

SIR WILFRID'^ EMBARRA SSMENT. Ministerial papers in tho East are discussing with considerable apprehension'the possibility lhat Sir Wilfrid himself may resign. Le Canada, the Liberal organ in Montreal, ropoit- ed on March 2that Sir Wilfrid had advanced tbe view that his own re- tirciiiL'iit was what the situation called for; that he had desired to nitiKc way two years ago, when hi.s health hail boon undermined, but had not been ill lowed to do so; and that if further resignations were to be tendered His Excellency over tho present issue, hi.s own might desirably accompany thcm. Tiie Montreal Herald, the Liberal organ published in English in the same city, look the report in Le Canada seriously. In an article published on March *l, it points out that thc stand Sir Wilfrid took in his recent speech wns identically the stand he took when the Education clause in the Northwest Territories Act was under discussion in 1S91, and that lo put it mildly, "It would be difficult in any circumstances, to retreat from the po- sition he took up in theso two speeches." The Herald declares that everyone must realize that "there are in the. present situation possibilities of calamity to the Liberal party." On March 0 the Ottawa Free Press, the Liberal organ at tho Capital, manifested great, alarm over "the hints that arc thrown out in some of tho French newspapers, oftho possible resignation of Sir Wilfrid'Laurier." It says : What developments may be in store, should it become evident that the country demands, after mature consideration of the question, that tho entire educational issue shall bc left to the Provinces, can only be guessed. It says further, that "whatever apprehension exists is certainly not likely to be allayed by the declaration in Mr. Bournssa's paper, Le Nation- aliste," as follows : Sir Wilfrid mav still emerge vic- I torious from the crisis. If he falls he the Government's policy on that, -^ ��������� 8ole hilll6l.,r. lris fil��������� wH1 ho topic?

It is a pity that the question should be j ^r��������� ,nfc() illlul0l.tllllt>. complicated by the evident deter that of a star, it. will illuminate the darkness. Is there to be for hiin a. crowning of his career? What more beautiful! swan song than that of his voice or bis words pioiiounced in favor of right, justice and liberty. This man to whom, despite differences of opinion his adversaries give the testimony that he has always looked for peace and union���������this man may fall under its weight. "lie will enter mination of the Grand Trunk Pacific to "hold up"' the Province for Vv land subsidy. "We won't start building in British Columbia till we please, if you don't give us a subsidy," is what the G. T. P. now says. If B.

If you had sent Literals we would have started rail- "^vay'construction-at-bothends-atoiicer- but now --*" and so forth. And yet the Solid St en was elected solidly on account of what Mr. Hays wrote Senator Templeman. ff Mr. Hays had said before the election what his railway has said since, does anyone believe the result of the election would have been the same in this province? It is certain at least that As Mr. Borden has pointed out, Sir Wilfrid departed from constitutional methods in introducing an important measure without obtaining the consent of some of his principal colleagues. He apparently did not even submit the bills to a caucus. Flis difficulties are entirely of his own creating.��������� Winnipeg Telegram. An Unbroken Succession of Ministerial Victories ��������� Goast to Kootenay Road receiving- Careful Consideration. Events during Ibe past week would feeiii to indicate that tbe attempted Duncan Ross would not have been M.\ plot on ihe part of the Opposition on P. for Yale-Cariboo had the electors -Monday to secure by trickery a snap vote against tbe Government���������a brief ing to its doom." (See Victoria Times, Vancouver World, and Nelson News.) Tbo result of the Opposition fiasco was plainly evident on Tuesday, when, aft.er an hour or two of fierce hue childish argument against it, the School Act passed its second reading by a vote of twenty-three to seventeen. This Bill was considered on "Wednesday in committee of the whole, when all the noii-couteiitious clauses were dealt, with, and the House rose and reported progress. Mutters will proceed further next week. This sumo day (Wednesday) was again embittered for the Opposition by another crushing defeat, when the Songhoes Heserve Bill passed its second reading by a vote of twenty- one to sixteen; the amendment, of Mr. J. A. Macdonald, leader of thc Opposition, to the oll'ect that the matter of disposing of the reserve lands should be reserved for the Legislature, meeting defeat by the same amount of votes. As it has pleased thc Opposition in their wisdom (?) to make a matter of violent partizan polities out of what is simply a piece of provincialjlegislation, it may interest your readers to know something of lhe purpose of this Songhees Reserve Bill, wliich was introduced by tbe Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works. The Songhoes Heserve is a piece of laud owned by the tribe of that name, and lying practically in the business heart of the City of Victoria. The growth of the town has rendered its presence u, serious nuisance, besides its being a very bad thing for the Indians themselves, who notoriously thrive least when in closest relations with tbe white man. The question of their removal has been agitated for years ��������� the decision on the matter lying with the Indians themselves and the Dominion Government. There is now some piospect of the mat ter being shortly adjust ed, and, by the law of the land. Indian reserve property, while administered by the Dominion Government dining its tenure by the Indians, fulls, np',11 being vacated, under lhe control of the Provincial Government. Action mu.**l, however, lirst be taken in the Provincial Legislature to give elfect to this law and enable the Lieut-Governor to act, and it is with a view lo expediting this that the present bill lias been brought down. A moment's thought will show the reasonableness of this. Suppose, for instance, as is hy no means unlikely, that the reserve question is settled and tbe hind vacated by the Indians within a few days or weeks after the close of the present session of the Legislature. Then the land would. I'ovet't.-to., pi'ovlueial control, but the Provincial Government would have no power to deal with it unlil the passage of such effective Legislation a= is now before the House. Therefore the land could not be dealt with or administered to any purpose until the next session of the House, unless a special session���������at vjst expense to the public -were called for the sole and only pui pose of dealing with the matter. It is to obviate such an undesirable condition of affairs that it is now proposed by the Provincial Government lo have all ready, passed and prepared, the necessary Legislation to enable them to act at. once upon the in itter being settled between the Indians and the Dominion Government. But the Opposition decline to see it thit wny. They say. so strong is their dislike and distrust of a Conservative Government that the present occupants of the treasury benches have designs upon this land���������for opium factories, for a Grand_Jrunk Pacific terminus, for a Great Northern terminus, for a C. P. B. terminus, fpr private residences forthe Ministers, of that riding not believed what Mr. Hays wrote to Mr. Templeman. However we trusted a Lie and the next step seems to be that we must pay the penalty���������that is give ten 7ni!lion acres to the G. T. P. At least the Coast papers seem to indicate that the trend of public sentiment is tliat way. We have ourselves a hope that the McBride Government will refuse but we do not dispute that a great many Conservatives ijre prepared to Rive the subsidy demanded. The Hon. Edgar Dewdney for one has no doubt, as h:s recent letter to the Colonist shows, that it is financially better to give the G. T. P. what it demands in order to secure the resulting benefit of early railway construction. Whatever the Government decides however it is evident that it will account of which was sent you���������has, by reason of the circumstances ancl disgrace attending its failure, exercised a most disastrous effect upon the Opposition themselves. One nf the most abominable features of the whole atl'air was contributed by a prominent up-country Liberal member, whose assistance of the plot of his colleagues took the remarkable form of breaking his pledged word to pair with Mr. Macgovvan of Vancouver���������that trusting gentleman remaining over in the Toi minal City on Monday, resting in fancied security upon the inviolate nature of a Liberal promise. Tbe expressions of public disgust at this unparalleled piece of treachery have been so strong and so general that the Opposition has apparently been cowed by the storm of contempt raised by ils unparliamentary tactics. At any rale, the past week has seen an unbroken succession of Ministerial victories, with majorities langing all for business wharves and warehouses for the Ministers' wives friends, heelers and relatives, for any old thing. And the discussions on the floor of the House have been in consequence of a decidedly comic nature ���������though far from creditable to the Opposition's reputations for common sense and intelligence. For example, the people of Victoria have never fully realized what a deep and abiding devotion to their interests, what: a fierce love for themselves, smoulders in the bosoms of the Mainland Liberal members. Tt was quite unsuspected hitherto. Yet "ere is John Oliver, of Delta,���������to quote ono instance out of many���������standing up in his place and imploring the House, with tears in his eyes, to put away all partizan feelings in this m titter ;j.pd not let thi.s valuable land fall into the poisonous clutches of the corrupt, and corporation-bought McBride administration. "Mr. Speaker," says John Olalla, in piercing and agonized tones, "T. do not say that this Government will steal this land, but I do sny that they may steal it. and, in the interests of the fair city of Victoria and tbe reputation of this Province, T implore honourable gentlemen lo pause before they expose this weak administration to so strong a temptation." And other Liberal members said as much, and more. But the bill passed its second reading, and their eloquence was wasted. EBHSBWggSggggBa������JliLgAL?.._'.'U'������JIJ������Hg^fi~^-''J'._.|������i'-LC^ the Provincial Secretary on Thursday, and upon adjournment, the debate thereon was resumed on Friday. Withoutrgoing into a lengthy review of this measure, full details of which are by this time in the public's hands, it may be remarked tliat it presents several distinct improvements. Not able among these is the settlement of thc "legal fence"' quibble, wliich has always beeu a*sore point. A much- needed proviso is that intended to protect tho beaver, whose complete extermination' is threatened by the senseless greed which has already exterminated so many forms of animal life on this continent. In this connection, considerable disappointment is felt in some quarters that it i.s not proposed by the measure to impose a gun-license���������a step warmly recommended b.v several ut the deputations who have been visiting tbe city to interview the Minister with regard to the bill. The Government, however, us was explained by Mr. Fui tou in his remarks on moving the second reading, did not consider tbe time was ripe for that, as popular opinion was still somewhat divided on the matter. He thought, however, that the principle was a good one. The Bill passed its second reading. There is little of public news as to railway development, but it will interest your readers to kuow that the Government is at present devoting.its whole energy to the consideration of a direct line by the shortest route from the Kootenay to the Coast. To the infinite importance of such a project the Government is very much alive; but it is holding firmly to the policy so emphatically expressed, both* last session.nn'd during this one, ou the floor of the House by the Premier, to the elfect that- no negotiations will be entered into, and no railway. scheme 'entertained,,1 unless emanating from bona fide parties who intend and are in a position, financial and otherwise, lo undertake and carry out constructions of such a line themselves. No propositions coming from the middle-man or go-between class of railway promoter���������who simply desires extensive" concessions of land or money, in order that he may mate his own bargain with the constructing company���������will be considered for a moment. Previous British Columbia Governments have been two long the plaything of Ibese nefarious industrial parasites; the game is now too old, and moreover, the piesent Government is not quite the "easy mark' some of its predecessors iu office showed themselves to be. Thus, while the prospects for the construction of such a line as that above referred to may be considered very fair, the Government is forced lo exercise the; greatest care and apply the most severe tests, before a just and satisfactory proposition can be submitted to the House. It is very well for the Opposition press to howl ils impatience���������some of it is edited and much more controlled by men who, in their day of power, hurriedly and without forethought or adequate information, plunged British Columbia into legislation which thc whole province has sinco had to suffer for. Let them hold their peace while business men deliberate business matters ��������� it is little the Liberal party iu British Columbia knows of either. This firm adherence of the Government to its declared policy may serve to explain the impending failure of an attempt to secure a land grant of 15.COO acres a mile by the Kitirnat and Haz'eton (otherwise the Pacific and Omineca) railway. This lhe promoters of that railway���������a paper one��������� will not get. Their motives maybe, and doubtless are, absolutely fair and above board: but the principle is not a business principle, and the country has had enough of it.

It is true that, whilo civilization develops man in some ways, it also degenerates him in others. For instance*, prepared foods weaken tho stomach; whereas when men had to eut coarse food, they had only sound digestive organs, but iimgnilieent teeth. These facts have led philosophers to-day to prophesy that the time will come when man can live j without a stomach by eating pro- has j pared foods.

When the. wound is fresh, it heals quickly, without inflammation or suppuration. The antiseptic properties of silver aro not popularly known. Some years . ago Or.

If men. uill go a-wooing to Miss Fortune they havo no right to grumble at her tioutn und caprices; but it is a l koo of cruel luck when sho condescends lo smile on a man and ho nover knows it unlil too late. Thi.s has just been the experience of un Austrian workman called Mayer, who some time ago became the owner of a Turkish lottery bond. Losing his employment shortly after, nnd being on the verge of starving, ho decided a month ago to part with the bond for anything he could get for it, and started for tho bunk with this object. On his arrival at tho bunk the paper which was to procure him a meal or two was missing. .This war. bad enough, but tho crowning blow fell when he learnt thut the lost bond bore the winning number in the lottery, and that its owner was thus entitled to a prize or $125,000. He is now advertising in the Austrian papers a reward of 52,nOO for tho restoration of tiio vagrant, which, if recovered, will mako ��������� liim a Croesus among his fellows. This is just the kind of trick Fortune loves nt times to play on foolish man.

Canada exports annually millions of chickens to the United States and Great Britain. The consumption of poultry in Canada is increasing rapidly and the poultry dealers complain tliat they cannot get enough poultry to fill iheir orders. One woman bought a No. 2 Chatham Incubator thc first of March ���������she had five hatches by July first and had four hundred plump, sturdy chicks. In six months her Incubator had paid hcr $100.00, several times its cost. A Chatham Incubator should pay for itself each hatch. We have perfected an Incubator and brooder. Wc believe it is now absolutely tlte best in the world. We have sufficient capita! bshlr.d us, and we are out for the entire business in incubators. Wc know that there is no other incubator that can approach the This is our proposition : To demonstrate our absolute confidence in the Chatham Incubator we will send one to you, freight prepaid, and you make your first payment in October, 1905. The fact that wc sell our Incubators in this manner guarantees thcm to the fullest extent. Thirty days' trial is a delusion and a snare. If you have good lucre you may get oflflone hatch in that time, and even then yen are uncertain, and if you reject the machine you will have to pay the freight both ways. But with us you send in your order and we ship the machine prepaid. When .it_arriycs, i_f_it_scems_all_ right,, start .your.hatch, and_we_will give you until_October,_roo5, before- you have to pay a cent in cash. We positively guarantee lhat the machine is a good hatclver. Every machine should sell a dozen, and wc will, on no account, allow a machine that is defective to remain in any neighborhood.

Sho discovered tho crumpled paper, and lo her amazement found that it bore the number, to whicli lhe first prize or 550,000 had been awarded.
