The manner in which monarchs are. paid tlieir salaries varies considerably. Tlie Emperor of Russia, for instance, says Pearson's Weekly, is the only European sovereign -who is entitled to draw on the revenues of the country over which he rules whenever he pleases and to almost an unlimited extent. All tlie vast sums accruing from-various forms of taxation in .Russia are banked to the credit of two officials named the Imperial Treasurers, who discharge all the liabilities of the Ifcur- sian .Government. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'..'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The Czar, however, has the first call upon thc money paid into the imperial treasury and draws' upon it whenever he wishes by simply directing the treasury ollicials to lodge so much money to-his private account, giving them a voucher for- the amount. Undor the Russian constitution tlie Czar is entitled to receive a seventh share of the revenue of the country, and though he, as a matter of fact, never draws upon tiie treasury to this extent, the Emperor of Russia is yet by far the best paid and wealthiest of European monarchs. The Eruporcr of Germany is in receipt of a salary of \ufffd\ufffd100,000 per annum .from the state, but His Imperial Majesty has, of course, many other ways of supplementing this pay,. which would be a very poor one for tlie sov- erigu of a great Power. The salary is paid into tlie Emperor's private banking account twice a year, the check for it being signed by no fewer than scvou oflicials, and is finally endorsed by tho Kaiser himself. The Emnorer .also receives a \"military _ and naval\" allowance which \" amounts .to a\/big js'um,- and the \"expenses in connection with the maintenance of the royal household at Potsdam are paid quarterly by the State treasury. King Edward receives a quarterly check from the Paymaster-General for his salary as monarch-; the check is what is known as a negotiable receipt, and is sent to the keeper of the privy purse, by whom.it is signed on behalf of the King, and then lodged to the creditof His Majesty's private banking account. The Emporer of Austria is put to some personal inconvenience -before he can obtain his salary, owing to the love of maintaining ancient customs and ceremonies that prevail in the Austrian court. .'...'. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdOn the 1st of June and 1st of December the Austrian monarch pays a visit to the office of the State treasury, where ho is received by three important official-. One of these officials then reads out a document to the monarch, reminding him of the many duties he owes to the State, and exhorting him to the faithful performance of the same. The document concludes with a mention of the amount of money that the Emperor is entitled to receive from the State to maintain him in a position of such great dignity becomingly. The Emperor is then asked if the amount is sufficient, and on his replying to the question in the affirmative, is given a receipt to sign for the money, which is in due course, lodged to the credit of the imperial account. The King of Portugal's salary is never paid to him direct, but is vested in the care of three officials, upon whom the King can draw .whenever he requires money. This is an arrangement to which the King of Portugal has a distinct objection, but as itis a very old established custom His Majesty would probably have some difficulty In having it altered. Each of the three purse-keepers, as these officials are called, receives \ufffd\ufffd500 per annum, which the King of Portugal has.to pay out of his own pocket, so that the arrangement costs the King \ufffd\ufffd1,500 a year, which would be very easily saved by the dismissal of such entirely needless officials as thc purse- keepers. The Sultan of Turkey has no allowance or salary ; he simply informs the Grand Vizier when he wants money, and that official has to see tliat the amount required is forthcoming promptly, otherwise it is'more than likely he might lose his head. . That British Columbia is now earnestly engaged in developing a great fruit industry is borne out by the-information from nearly every point in the Province. A Victoria paper estimates the number of fruit trees brought into the Province this year at 500,000. In this every district is represented. On the island there has heen a large number of trees imported, and throughout the Okanagan, the ranchers have turned their attention almost exclusively to fruit production. These importations do not incl ude the production ofthe British Columbia nurseries. Reports from Grand Forks, are to the effect that there will be far more fruit tre.e_ set out this year than ever before. We all know what is being done in the vicinity of Nelson. Thousands of trees have been set out, and the work seems to be only now in its infancy. The veteran nurseryman, J. A. Kelley, informs us. that this year will surpass all former ones in the matter of fruitgrowing. He has brought in about 18,000 young trees, ami there isa demand for more. What fruitgrowing will develop into in the future, It is not difficult to prophecy. Poultry-raising will be another of the great industries of this Province. There is a steady demand for thorough bred poultry, and it will be only a few years until the poultry production of British Columbia will be au important factor in settling our balance of trade. There should be a good attendance at the Success Club this evening, when Major Sheppard and Thomas G. Earl will deliver practical addresses on horticulture. suit there is hesitanev on the part of the people to take a decided stand. But that Confederation will come in due time, Mr. Gillett has not the slightest doubt. -He believes the beneficial results would not he altogether onesided, for Newfoundland is fabulously wealthy iu natural resources. Like all the rest of the wanderer. fr\ufffd\ufffdni Nelson, Aid. Gillett is pleased to get back again to his \"Wettern Canadian home. Aid. Gillett is back again in Nelson, after a visit to bite former home in Newfoundland. Mr. Gillett met with all sorts of trouble oh his way to his old home, having encountered blizzard after blizzard, and being storm-bound at many points along the Atlantic seaboard. As a result he had to take a route, which -was a great deal longer and entailed a greater expenditure of time. In Newfoundland he found conditions had greatly improved since he left there 15 years ago, th* colony having also undergone many changes. Tho great question agitating the minds of the people there is the one of confederation with Canada. He believes that if the matter was placed in its true light before the people the out: come would be confederation. There are a whole lot ofinterested politicians who have wilfully misrepresented the question to the electorate, and as a re- Tiri: Economist has received a letter from Wm. Cranston, of the British Columbia and Aloerta. Theatrical Circuit. Mr. Cranston is now in New York City and has a show already on the road, whirh will reach Nelson in a month or so. It is \"The Hottest Coon in Town.\" Mr. Cranston is now engaging people for an opera company, which will be here two or three weeks in June. He has engaged all New York-people, with the exception of Frank Walters who was here with the Wade company. The repertoire will include several royalty pieces, such as El Capital!, Girl from Paris and When Ruben Comes to Town, besides Boc-' cacio, Erminie, Bohemian Girl, Paul Jones and The Princess of Trebizondr. Thereare'28 people\" in the company, and several months will be given to Nelson and neighboring towns. MANY BRIGHT THINGS SAID BY MAURICE RARRYMORE OF INTERESIVTO LOVERS OF MUSIC, The performance of the \"Rose the name of Roseblossom, she wanders Maiden\" by the Nelson Choral Society on the 10th of next month promises to be an event of very exceptional interest, and all Nelson will doubtless turn out to listen te this tlie first effort of the latest of the city's musical organizations. The society is a large one f\"r a town of tbjs size and comprises most ofthe musical talent o_**Nelsqii. The chorus of over seventy voices have worked diligently and enthusiastically for mouths past and promise to givean artistic rendering of their part in the work. The soloists .are Mrs. Briggs, soprano; Miss Cowley, rf Rossland, contralto; Mr. Brown, tenor, und Mr. Broadwood, baritone. All of these, with the exception of Miss Crowley, have been heard here before, and with the chorus and an efficient orchestra, which is also hard at work, will combine to furnish an evening of delight to music lovers. - The work selected is the composition of Frederick H. Co wen, and is remark- abls for the beauty and sweetness of the melodies. The libretto is adapted' from a German legend, .the. story of ' which is thus ou.tliued : .-'\"',\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The Queen of - the Flower Fairies, weary of a life of unbroken calm, prays of the newly returned Spring that he will bestow upon her also the gift of love that he bestows upon man. lit warns her of the risk she runs, but finally yields to her entreaties by changing her, while she sleeps, into While at the apogee . of his ability and fame as a leading man, the late Maurice Barrymore was the chief support in a highly romantic play of.an actress noted in the profession for her explosive outbursts of violent language upoti_small occasion. In the progress of the play it was part of Barrymore's business to bestow a protracted osculation upon tlie lips ofthe actress. On the opening night Barrymore, inspired by a sense of mischief, far overstepped the limit in his- bestowal of this kiss. He not only deprived it of the remotest semblance of tlie conventional stage kiss, but kept his lips glued to the actress's for an unconscionably long time, until the first night audience rocked with- laughter, the actress's eyes blazing with anger while-he-held her iu-his-releutless grasp. The critics touched up the incident abundantly, generally with humorous corn ment. \"Barry,\" remarked Abe Hummell, who met the actor on Broadway on the following afternoon, \" you clung to that caress last night for a deuced long time. What ,was the idea?\" \"I was seeking reputation at lhe cannon's mouth,\" replied Barrymore amiably. \"Instead, I lost it. You should have heard her when the curtain fell.\" of dart bearing upon her belief in his overappreciation of his personal pulchritude, a .thing of which Barrymore was certainly never.guilty.- This brought the flush to Barrymore's cheek, but he waited his moment. Finally he overheard her saying to the actress seated on her left: \"You know, my son is of the same name as your distinguished and so very bcauiiful Monsieur \"Barrymore\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd my son Maurice.\" \"Yes,\" put in Barrymore solemnly,' addressing the actress to whom the French woman had made the remark, \"we are of au age, and were playmates at Harrow when he was getting his boy schooling in England. He is well, madam, I venture to hope?\" turning with a smile to the French actress. the form of a beautiful girl. Under jwas small, but very select. through tlie world to find the love that she seeks, and meets with a girl who, having been betrayed and deserted by her lover, loses her senses and dies brdkeu-hearted. But, undeterred from her search, Roseblossom becomes the wife ofa forester, with whom she lives fora time in such perfect happiness that she cannot survive his death: The eives bewail the death of tbeir Queen, and curse love as fatal to peace and happiness.

The audience made no effort to get back \"Every body- at \"tlio\" tableTknew that Barrymore was well past -15 then, quite as well as they were aware of Mme. Bernha'rdt's extreme sensitiveness as to her age. As a matter of truth, Barrymore wasa good twenty years older than young Maurice Bernhardt at the time. Mme. Bernhardt was excessively amiable toward Barrymore not only for the remainder of the evening, but always when she met him afterward. Barrymore had a dislike for puns, which was altogether unusual for an Englishman. A well known leadingaetor\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnow jn vaudeville\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwho was always more or less on his muscle when in drink, dropped into the Morton House cafe while Barrymore was there with some friends. He no sooner saw Bajrymore than he began to rail at him for wholly imaginary injuries, and to threaten to macerate Barrymore to unrecognizable pulp. Barrymore, noting his fellow actor's condition, took it all in good part. At length his taunter, who was. really an accomplished man with his fists, as be had shown on several occasions when infuriated, strolled over to Barrymore and remarked that he had a great mind to knock his, Barrymore's, head off, then and there. \"Bobby,\" blandly remarked Barrymore, \"behave. You appear to be burying a lot of dead to-night.\" \"That's all right,\" replied the pug- foolish grin, .\"I'll Barrymore.\" Barrymore gazed at the man \"with an expression of the most hopeless disgust for a full half minute and then Joe- said : \"Even the excuse of drunkenness is no condonation for such an unspeakable lingual profanation.\" Whereupon he suddenly darted in, caught (ho other man around the waist, lifted him into the air as if he had been a paper bag of Hour, tossed him face down on a table and spanked him in the old fashioned way, but with modern enthusiasm for five minutes, the prone actor making frantic but ineffectual efforts to regain his feet. When the conquered and chagrined actor was at length permitted to get up lie gazed weaklyjj^Barrymore for_a bit and then said : \"Maurice Barrymore, I wouldn't have your disposition for tiie world.\" Which was the origin dating back nearly two decades, of a phrase which has recently been revived and converted into one of siangful meaning. Speaking broadly, British Columbin is wonderfully free from the common forms of insect pests which affect the orchard, writes Martin Bur\/ill in the Grand Forks Gazette. The two worst insects, San Jose scale and codlin moth have not made tlieir appearance in the Province, and long may they they keep out of ft. Tbe apple aphis, however, is worse here than it is in the East, and does considerable damage to trees when not looked after. Entomology is not \"only a particularly interesting study, but to the man who cultivates an orchard or even a garden with a few fruit trees, some knowledge of insect -life is indispensable if he wishes to get either pleasure or profit out of his fruit trees. We have known people spend both mouey and time fighting insects with absolutely useless weapons from want of knowing the differences of structure between insects which are as unlike in their their methods of feeding as a sucking pig and au elephant. Without going exhaustively into the various orders, with their structural differences of wing and body, itis useful to point out that all Insects may be divided Into two classes as far as their feeding habits are concerned. The one class bite their food, whether leaf or bark, passing it into the stomach, and can therefore readily be fought with a stomach poison,such as parisgreeuor hellebore. To this class belong all caterpillers, beetles, and so\" on. The other class, which includes all the lice and scale insects, take their food iu a liquid form, ; iercing the bark of the tree or. skin of the leaf, and-with their slender proboscis extracting the juices of the plant; in short are \"suckers\" in every sense of the\"Jterrri7,v'~It is clear then that a stomach poison would not be effective on insects of this type, and as a matter of fact a leaf might be coated with paris green, and it would not phase the apple aphis. To counteract the work of these little beggars a different method must be adopted. Every insect breathes, not through tiie mouth, but through a series of boles down the side of its body. Anything therefore which can clog up these breathing orifices will do the business by plain everyday suffocation. For this purpose oily and soapy washes are generally used and sliQuld be put on In a fine spray to be readily effective. Briefly, the history of the apple louse is a. follows: It winters over in the egg stage. From this egg there is hatched m the warm days of the early spring what is known as the \"stem- mother.\"' In about lo days she is fully developed and begins to .reproduce. Nine or ten days afterwards her progeny, wingless like thejr mother, are reproducing, and part of this brood are winged, ready to fly to other trees, and start a new colony to work. This sort of thing is going on merrily all tbe summer, and towards the end of, October eggs are laid, which carry tho species through the following winter. From a single fema'e batched iu the spring uncountable millions can bo produced by the fall. A stitch in time, therefore, saves nine, and a good many more. The fight against this pest should be be^un before the winged forms begin to hatch. The injury done is often serious, though not fatal- excepfTo young and sickly trees. But it can readily be imagined that 40 or 50 of these minute lice sucking away diligently into the juices or the swelling bud, or tiny leaf, must weaken the tree, and will certainly prevent development of the new shoots. The ordinary remedies are coal oil emulsions, strong tobacco water, and whale oil soap and quassia chins. The latter remedy is one that has been largely recommended in British Columbia. . The proportion used is four pounds quassia chips.' four pounds of Boap to fifty gallons of water. Both soap and chips should be boiled thoroughly, then strained and diluted with the right proportion of water, and applied in spray form. A second going over may be necessary, as it is difficult to reach all specimens, and none but those actually hit with the mixture are affected. But the necessary thing is to do it in time. ,J , -CI - - \/ -. f TIMELY HINTS AS TO CARE OF LA WNS. The coming of spring brings with it does when warm rains are frequent. A until she sent him some sort nacious actor, his face curving into a Barrymore's carelessness as to his apparel was so pronounced that it was a genuine grief to his family and friends. His contempt for the matinee idol\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhich he never admitted himself to have'beoii for as much as a minute\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwas so acute that he took actual pleasure off the stage in showing by thc carelessness of his attire tliat he had no mind to be catalogued with that lot. He wos walking along Broadway one afternoon with a couple of companions, when, from the opposite direction, approached an actor of note in classical roles who was conspicuous at all times for his nobby exterior. \" Ah, Barry,\" hum-hawed this actor, coming into speaking distance, \"here you are, in a disgraceful suit of clothes, as usual. This one, however, is even more shocking than its predecessors. Wearing it on a bet, old man ?\" \" Yes,\" replied Barrymore. \" You must have given the other mau long odds, Barry,\" said the other actor. \" I did,\" replied Barrymore. \" I wagered him that you were not the most mediocre reader of blank verse now alive on the globe, and he proved me wrong and won.\" a good deal of necessary work on the lawn and in the flower garden. In exposed situations the dead leaves bave all been blown away, and, aside from the little branches which are always thrown off from deciduous trees, the lawn is comparatively clean and ready for the lawn mower whenever the grass shall have grown b. large as to need cutting. When there is plenty of trees and shrubbery, there will ben good many dead leaves scattered over the lawn and most persons choose to have them raked away and thrown on tlie compost hoap, or burned If they are to be burned, it is a good plan to carry them into the garden and burn them. Thc little remaining after burning is an excellent fertilizer, but there is very little of it. The small dead brush raked up with the leaves adds somewhat to lhe valueof the fertilizer, since they furnish a little more potash than do the leaves. In fact, all the trimmings from trees, bushes and berry plan Is sh^u'd always.be burned in the garden, and never in the street. The lack of greensward is the bane of lawns and parks everywhere. Even here, in temperature latitudes, summer drouths are frequent, and give the lawn a brown color unless there is a copious supply of water to be had whenever needed, and even then grass never looks quite as well as it deep, well drained mellow soil holds moisture by capillary attraction, and when rains are few and far between the roots of the grass ean run deep and find moist soil even _wlien the surface of uncultivated soil is bated hard. A thoroughly well drained soil is drier in a wet time and wetter in a dry time than soil uot drained, and an even and ample supply of water at the roots of the grass is conducive to tbe highest beauty of a lawn in this climate.. Gra.ss must have moist feeding ground, aud this means a deep and fertile soil. Deep trenching is too costly for most owners, and so at the outset the ground must be plowed as deeply as possible and then thoroughly worked up mellow by the use of the harrow before the grass seeds are sown. If the soil is naturally rich, the seed will grow freely and soon make a rich, velvety turf. If not very rich, plenty of well rotted stable manure must be mixed thoroughly all through tho soil while working it with plow and harrow beforo the seed is sown. If some good commercial fertilizer is brushed iu with tbe grass seed the first growth will be very strong, and the turf will be firmer. The fertilizer should be sowed at the rate of ten pounds on each square rod of surface, or three-fourths of a ton peraere. This is heavy fertilizing, but it will pay the cost twice over In the increased strength and rapidity of growth. ii*\") \ufffd\ufffdL.v_j*,tTtarfiyzjzstsmjp MM \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd **aKwt\ufffd\ufffd<*V.fcM.UMu>4 cu^' u^?!'.:i-^ \ufffd\ufffd _ (Formerly Clarke nouse) X J The best $1 per day house in Nelson.

I\"* WO years agw, when the cowboys of north-eastern Arizona came together to find out who was the '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbost man\" in various ways, .Tames Evans won the steer-tying championship by roping, throwing and tying a vicious steer ln twenty-four seconds. But in a recent round-up the chsimplon did a-more remarkable thing, by which, says the -Kansas City \"Star,\" he saved his own and another man's life. While he and some companions were camping for the night on a high tableland, which ended a few miles away ln an abrupt drop of two hundred feet, a storm swept through the mountains. Made nervous by the lightning, the herd of fifteen hundred cattle stampeded in the direction of the precipice. Evan's and Tils men mounted hurriedly and, circling to the front of the mad- -den\ufffd\ufffdd -cattle;- tried-with-whoops-and- revolver-shots to turn them back. In the dense blackness of the-night Evans's horse missed his footing and went down In a heap, one leg ln a gopher-hole. The horse of a cowboy named Davis, running close behind, Btumbled ove'r Evans's horse, and Davis, too, cam* to earth and lay still, unconscious. Fifty yards away came the herd, and a short flash of lightning showed Evans the situation. The swiftly moving sea of cattle reached one hundred yards each way. Unable to arouse Davis, and never thinking of leaving his disabled comrade, Evans took the only 'chance'of saving both;. He .emptied his own revolver and his companion's into the \"center of the herd, cutting a breach In the front of the mass. Then, throwing the Inanimate form of Davis over his. shoulder, he awaited his opportunity, o As one of the leaders brushed by, Evans-,..with one movement, put .the body of Davis across the shoulders oi the steer, and mounted, also.. \"Vainly the animal leaped, bucked and side- Jumped. With his legs wrapped tightly around the body of hl3 mount, Evans drove his spurs deep in, and held himself and Davis ln place, p ' :.The.steer, wild with rage, agony.and fright, rapidly left the herd in the rear, and, veering to the right in a furious gallop, carried his riders out of danger. Then Evans rolled off the back of his strange rescuer, and a half-hour later, \"when his cowboys turned the herd at 'the riih\"-of; tne canyon, and rode back to look for the foreman and Davis, they found them,.both unconscious. The weary steer\", with, bis -sides covered . with blood, lay exhausted a short dis-' itance ^.^cay;- o \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd :, a;o . , \"The outfit ordered a medal for Evans, . and the. steer -has been pensioned foi life on th&best alfalfa in the valley.
