Tnis would go to prove\nthat there Is an available home market,\na market tbat consumes 6000 tons more\nthan our own mines produce.\nThe quesilon is a very simple one.\nKootenay is rich In lead, but the Incus-\ntry of mining and smelting Is not in as\nhealthy a condition as those engaged in\nIt could wish. There Is a home market,\nbut It Is costly to reccb. What Is desired Is a measure of protection that,\nby increasing the price to the producer\nwill encourage home smeltlrg The\nlead men want to come In with the\nsugar refiner?, the cotton spinners, the\nImplement manufacturers, and all those\nothers which a paternal government\nrecogniz: as entitled to public bounties.\nThey want the National policy extended to cover them, la other words, they\n\u00C2\u00ABat.t a!l Canadian consumers of lead to\nbe taxed for thiir benefit. And If\nsound policy In tbe case of the Implements, the cotton and the sugar, It will\nbed 111 u!t to show that It is not also\nsound In the case of ieid. The Free\nPress would not care to say that It Is\nIn any of them. It believes in giving\nthe natural laws of trade as free a hand\nas circumstances will permit. But It\nmay be lhat It is worth while to build\nup flourishing industries by artificial\nmeans. It wo^ild also seem as if both\npolitical parties had agreed on this.\nAt any rate, It would seem to be tbe\nsettled policy of both to give reasonable encouragement to all established industries. And If wise in tbe case of established Industries, it must be equally\nso In tho case cf Industries that may be\nestablished, If worth while to protect\nthe industry we have, it must be worth\nwhile to get a fresh one If we can. Tbe\nparliament that decides to continue its\nfostering care of the Industries it has\nasslsied to build np cannot consistently\nrefuse to extend a helping hand to tbe\nlead mining and smelting Industry of\nthe Kootenay.\nII ,wever. there may go a good many\nthings to the consideration of this question before It can he settle*] one way or\nthe other. For Instance, the politicians\nwcu'd require to know how it would effect public sentiment in their constitn\nencies. But one thing there Is, about\nwh'ch there cun he little doubt. Tbe\nwhole question of mining lu Canada requires to be taken up and revived. It\nis assuming an importance that compels\nattention, and that Importance Is an Indication of changed conditions which\ncall for serious consideration. For tbe\nfirst time we are beginning to realize\nwhat the mining possibilities of the\ncountry really aie. I. Is not improba*\nlilt-, indeed, that In a few ye<.rs Canada\nmay be better known as a mining country than as an agricultural country. It\nIs necessary, therefore, that the whole\nquestion Miouhl be consilered, with tbe\nview of clearing the way for as complete a development as po*slb!e.\nRAILROAD NEWS.\nFrom tho Wardner International,\nM.

OF THE WIND.\nI i\n. BY HUNK L. POLLOCK,\nUP to the New Yenr the north Ontario winter hud been unusually\nBnowless nml cold, bo Ihnl Uko Huron\n\v-is frozen to u,n iiinmsi unprecedented\ndistance from the shore. Tin- long liar-\nhor of Parry sou ml wns a (frizzling bell\nim' thick -.rlniv lee, nnd from the mouth\nof ii.s steamboat channel tho great\nGeorgian imy st retched out to north,\nwest and south, white nnd still to tin-\nvery horizon.\nAs Wio Ice was in perfect condition\nfor skating, tho liarlnn- was usually well\nsprinkled with moving figures on tine\nafternoons, nnd I mis generally among\nthe skaters.\nOne day, ns 1 walked down to the\nlanding, I noticed that the west, was\ndnrkwith ominous-looking gray clouds,\nnmong which the sun wns already disappearing, A fresh northeast wind\nblew down the sound, and ibis decided\nme to take the south channel, In order to have the breeze at my back. As\nfor returning, the wind might bo expected ito go down as evening advanced.\nThe lee was superbly smooth, ontl tbe\nwind so strong thai I went flying down\nthe channel at. great speed. Tho dark,\nheavily wooded shores streamed past\nliko a panorama. 1 did not realize the\nfull force of the gale behind me, for\nthere Is n sort of Intoxication in rapid\nmotion through the open air, und J\nskated faster and faster, without the\nleast thought of danger or sensation of\nfatigue. Jt wns as if I moved by pure\nvolition.\nI did not notice the passage of time,\nbut in w-hat-seemed a marvelously short\nperiod I found myself rounding the\nbluff head of Parry island, und coming out upon tiie open lake itself. There\n1 looked at my watch; ns il was live\no'clock I decided to lake a short run\nupon the lake and then return.\nI had never before skated upon the\nopen reaches of the Georgian bay, and\nhad not imagined that the lee could Ih-\nso excellent. I knew that usually it\nwus cracked and ridgy, because the Incessant mot ion of the water prevented\nit from freezing smoothly, but now it\nwas almost ns glassy as the lee on the\nharlior itself.\nAway I flow, delighted. Once T was\nclear of the island, the gale struck me\nwith increased strength and so greatly\naccelerated my speed that I was quite\ntwo miles from hind before I took\nthought, and Began to fear trouble in\nregaining shelter in the teeth of the.\nwind. Qo l circled about, to the right,\nfaced toward the shore\u00E2\u0080\u0094and stopped\nshort! The gale met me like a wall.\nIt was impossible for mo to skate\nagainst it.\nI took a few vigorous strokes, but in\nvain. When I tried to stand still I went\nsliding away before the wind. Again\nand again 1 renewed the struggle, desperately exhausting .myself. Every bicyclist knows the heart-breaking strain\nof riding against a head wind, but. this\nwns worse, for I was not able to advance\neven a yard. Indeed, 1 actually lost\nground. 1 eould stop myself only by\nsitting down, and that was what I did.\nI wns not then much alarmed. It\nseemed absurd to suppose that an able-\nbodied and active young man would be\nprevented from crossing two miles of\nIce by wind power alone. Could I not\n\"tack\" to right and left, and thus bent\nup through the fttorm?\nI got up, and began to sknte.vigorously in a southeasterly direction, bearing\nto the east, so that the witidlidciw upon\nmy right side, or upon my \"weather\nbow.\" For some minutes all BCetned to\ngo well. I held my head down and\ntraveled as fast as was possible. Hut\nwhen 1 made ready to \"go about\" upon\nthe other tack, and looked to see what\nprogress I had made, I was horrified\nto find I had been blown so far to leeward as to be qulle half a mile fam\nther from shelter than before.\n1 tried to rectify ihe error by striking\nout strongly northeast lo north, but\nthe force of the Storm would not even\nallow mo to turn nt rlgilit angles to its\ncourse. I was gradually nud imperceptibly driven to veer westward. The\ngale Refined tognin strength evwy moment. 11. ten minutes, another half\nmile Bcemed lost, and the headland of\nI'urry Island began to grow faint in\ndistance, nnd gathering twilight,\nI now felt myself to bent the mercy\nof the wlnda. There was no abatement\nIn Its violence as night drew on. It\nblew Inexorably wiih a steady, great\npressure, bringing a few grain's of dry\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2snow, that slid -swiftly like sand along\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 lee. So long lift I remained on\nmy feet I was borne farther nnd farther from .shore, in sjiitii of every effort,\nIt was bitter cold, the flying grains of\nsnow cut when I raced them, and J sat\ndown once more, with my buck to the\nweather, nnd tried to think of a plun for\nsaving my life.\nThe prospect was terrifying. 1 hnd\nproved unable to make head against the\nstui-m. The Ice was so smooth that\nI could n it -walk on It wilih my skates\noff. I e uld not sit still and wait for\nthe- weather to moderate, lest I he\nfrozen solid In a few hours. The one\nactive thing I could do wns to run\nstraight, before the wind.\nThis was not so insane a proceeding ns\nit might appear. Wiartou.Owen sound\nand Mc.idford all lay opposite me acrosa\niht buy. nnd I might find ice on which\nskate the whole distance of about 50\nu:- -a, thus converting Hie wind from a\nfo< hili an ally, Thnt there might be\nor m water In the middle was true, but\nI believed) the bay to be, frozen over.\nAt nny rate there was left to me no\ncourse but thut of speeding before the\ngale; fo I struck out across the ice at a\nswinging pnee, which wns rapidly accelerated. I now felt the wind's force\nonly, inasmuch ns I was conscious of\nthe very slight effort with which I\nmoved at extraordinary velocity. I\nFREE MINERS.\nwas literally borne upon tins wings uf\nthe wind.\n1 had never dreamed of skating at\nsuch spi't'd. It was wonderfully exhilarating, and yet 1 flew on through\nthe darkness In full knowledge that 1\nshould probably bo knocked senseless\nor killed outright if thrown by any\nridge or other such obstruction as I\nwas likely to encounter.\nHut no obstacle was In my way. For\nquite nu hour 1 \u00C2\u00ABns blown along iu this\nfashion, and I think thai I had traversed more than l.'i miles wben I heard\na small roaring mhhuI ahead thai sell I\nn shiver to my. very backbone. At ihe\nsamo time the ice grew rougher uud\nserrated with wave-tlkc ridges. I tried\n(0 check my speed; I wheeled; I was\nll nng down and slid fur before I.slopped.\nLooking forward, I saw the dark horizon much closer, for the while plain\nwas cut sharply at a point not fur in\nfront, as if a black curtain had been lowered from the skies. From behind this\nourtnlu came the roar.\nit had Instantly divined the truth.Tbe\nbay was not wholly frozen. I had arrived nt the edge of the ice-bell, nnd the\ndark water of bake Huron was heaving\nand foaming right beforo me.\nThe moon, though hidden bv dim\nclouds, gave n faint sort of half light\nthat showed me the whole sec ne\u00E2\u0080\u0094the\nvast frozen plain to right uml left, and\nin front, the appalling, inky, furious\nexpanse. White-capped billows were\nrunning high before the gale; nnd 1\nheard an astonishing roar of wind nnd\nwater. And I had conic within ten rods\nof the brink. Not only so. but I\nseemed to be out on a point or peninsula\nof Ice, with open wnter to the west as\nwell as to the south of me. Such nearness to the open water seared me. 1\nmust try to gel farther away. It was\nconceivable that the rough lee edge\nunder me might break up under the\nforce of the gale.\n1 dropped on my hands and knee?,\nand starled to run on all fours, the\npoints of my skates rasping into the ice.\nThe horrible roaring behind inspired\nme with a sort of panic. For a couple\nof hundred yards I scrambled on, and\nthen the effect of exertion and excitement began to tell, I was seized by\nsudden exhaustion, nnd collapsed.\niTt was snowing faster now; I noticed\nthnt the front of my pilot skiiling-cnat\nwas lhu-kly covered with white. The\nflakes drove' through tbe air with the\nspeed and sling of arrows, but I turned\nmy back an them, nnd stretched out on\nthe ice\u00E2\u0080\u0094lo die, as I Imngarlncd, I did\nnot feci Hint I had energy enough to\nget to my feet, even to save my life.\n'it d.id not seem so cold now, 1 began\nto feel drowsily comfortable, and suspected1 thnt I was freezing to death\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nand didn't much enre.\n'I could for awhile feel the snow beating incessantly on my face and shoulders, for I was In u sort of doze, hut not\nwholly Unconscious, Presently the\n.snow ceased fulling. Host count of the\nlapse of lime, hut J wns suddenly\nawakened by n heavy blow, as if a plank\nhad fallen across my body. 1 come to\nmyself in au instant,and on raising my\nhead found myself completely Imbedded in snow.\nI wns not particularly cold now, nud\nthe queer, numb feeling In my legs was\ngone. I could hear the roaring of the\nstorm outside, and begun to realize that\nthe thin, Hying snow hnd needed only\nsuch an obstacle as my body to form a\nvery respectable drift, nt the bottom of\nwhich I was interred, and which had arrested the freezing process,\nAs I thought of this, another dull\nthud sounded upon tbe top of my\nseipulehre. 1 snt up with some difficulty, threw the Snow nslde, and looked\nnbout.\nI realized in ai moment what had occurred. The wind had shifted from\neast of north to west nf north, and\nunder its Influence massive billows\nwere now rolling on the western edge\nof my peninsula. Now uud then a crest\nof a breaker, blown bodily off by the\ngale, would fall with a resoundtngcrnsh\nfar up on the ice. Without doubt, it\nwits such nn event that had awakened\nme, and just hi time, for it wns certain\nthat (he Ice about me would soon be\nbreaking up.\nI jumped up nnd struck out. With\nthe new direction of the wind, I knew\nlhat I was saved. I cculd not return to\nParry sound, but I'enctiiiiguisheue and\nMidland lay 13 m'tcs down the coast,\nand with the gale nt my bnck I fancied\nthat it would be easy to cover that distance.\nIt wns not so easy as 1 had Imagined.\nAs the sounds of crashing and rending\nIce died awny behind, I found invself\nweak and weary. My legs nehed, my\nback aclnd, my head ached. I would\nhave given worlds to sit down uud rest\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094the one thing which I dared not do.\n.Snow retarded me slightly, too, though\nit was u mere llitii.liiirrying.wurrying,\nloose layer, except where occasionally\ncollected as a drift by some slight obstacle.\nI need not, however, describe the torture of that 15 miles* skating.

Tom was my son; one of\nmy sons, 1 should say, for 1 bud nine,\nand four daughters, though you And me\nalone. Some arc dead, some nre married, but all who are living httVO their\nown homes and families. Tom went to\nCalifornia nml started a business; be\nmarried thero, and when be died It wns\nnatural for me to suppose thnt his\nwidow would remain iu her own borne,\namong her own people. Tom wns not\n30 when lui died, and 1 knew she wus\nvory mueh younger, But one day when\nI was grieving, as mothers will, my dear,\nfor my sou, there walked in a little\nmite of a figure tbat I should have taken\nfor a child but for tlie heavy widow's\ndropertos. She came straight to me,\nlifted her veil, uud, looking out of a\npntr of buby blue eyes straight iuto my\nface, suid:\n\"'I nm Daisy, dear mother, Tom's\nwidow. I am nil aloue iu the world, but\nTom suit, he was sure if I came to you,\nyou would be good to me.'\n\"I took ber straight into my henrt,\nthe little, winsome darling,and 1 loved\nber us my own. Ho, my dear, if I tell\nyou of my trials with ber, do uot think\nit was from want of love.\"\n1 was sure II was not, for the dear old\nlady's voice was full of tenderness.\n\"It wis lonely for her for one thing,\"\nsaid Mrs. Crtilge, \"for ber mourning,\nnnd it was n decp-hoarted sorrow, kept\nhor secluded; und as there was uo need\nfor her to employ herself usefully, she\nbegun to plan delightful surprises for\nme. Sbe was possessed by a very demon for fancy work. While she exercised it upon sofn cushions and footstools with distorted dogs and dislocated cats embroidered in Berlin wool\nupou them, I endured iu patience, although my old-fashioned ideas were\ncertainly amazed at the sums .Daisy\nspent ou materials, Tom had left her\nwell provided for, and'os she hnd no expense here, her pocket-money was n\nvory handsome income. As I said, I did\nnot object, to the poor little lonely\nchild taking all tlie pleasure she could\nllnd iu embroidering hideous deslgus\non canvas, nud putting the results in\nttio most conspicuous places in tbe\nbouse, but this mild form of her mania\nscou gave place to tbe desire to tx-\neel iu every species of work that came\nup to waste the money and time of\nidle women. This old bouse, which wns\nin my husband's family before the- revolution, is full of treasures endeared to\nby nge and association, and our\nsailots nnd travelers hove added many\na relic to tho ornaments nnd furniture.\n'1 lie first piece of vandalism tbut I was\nUXpeotod to admire, uud secretly\ngronoed over, wus the potlchonmnle\ntransformation of a pair of Venetian\nglass vases that my son Henry brought\nfrom Kurope for tne. They stood iu\nthe spure room, nnd never was a servant allowed to touch them, tbe exquisite, fragile beauties! Imagine my\nhorror wben Daisy exultantly led me\nto tbe room und displayed her handiwork. My lovely vases! Inside of each\none was pasted n colored landscape cut\nfrom paper, over which a garland of\nleaves was varied by bunches of grapes,\ncurrants, cherries, tlowens, birds and\nbutterflies. Then the inside was plastered with blue paint. What was on my\ntougue was never spoken, for tho blue\neyes danced with delight at my supposed pleasure, and how could I be\ncross to Tom's widow?\"\n\"Could you never get it off?\" I asked,\npitifully.\n\"Never. My vases wore ruined. The\nnext really dreadful deed, varied by nt roc-\nities of minor importance, was Daisy's\ndiscovery of my great-grand mother's\nwedding-dress, a white-brocaded satin\nthat we cherished fur more than uny\nold gold, but which Daisy ruthlessly\ncut into pincushions, embroidering\neach one and producing them triumphantly for a Christmas surprise. Tbo\ngirls were here\u00E2\u0080\u0094my girls\u00E2\u0080\u0094nnd my\nsons nnd their wives, and there arose\nsuch n howl as sent the woo blue-eyed\nmlto to my arms in sliccr terror. It\nwas at tbnt party that Willie Norman,\nwhose brother is my Kate's husband,\nfirst saw Daisy. Long after the others\nhnd forgotten the pincushions, I saw\nWillie in u comer with Daisy, evidently consoling her. Two babies, together, my dear, though Willie is the dear-\neat fellow! He came over quito often\nafter that (they live at Fern wood, ten\nmiles from here), and was kind enough\nto discover ull sorts of latent talent in\nDaisy for decorating everything wilhin reach. What I suffered frum the\ndecaleomania fever never cun be described.\n\"I can imagine it I hnd five sisters,\nand we were all smitten,\" Isold, \"What\nBtarted ns a beauty to cover unsightly\nspots sooil became a frenzy! My mother came to tho rescue at lust and\nscrubbed uwuy every inch.\"\n\"Willie brought her all the designs\nto be found, and curried thechinu she\ndecorated (?,i to he baked I Oh, my\ndear! The tea set made in Canton for\nMr, Craiigu's grandmother's weddiug\npresent, with gilt, monograms uud\nquuUit handles to the cups, all different,\nwas decorated, curried off by Wlillo, the\nhorrible- pictures nil baked in and then\npresented to mc for a birthday gift.\nI eould not tell you half, no, not the\ntwentieth part of tlie dreadful destruction. You can see, dear, that the house\nIs finished inside with oak, to whioh\nnot a brush had ever been touched,\nbut years of rubbing, waxing nnd polishing have made Ilko glass. We pride\nourselves, I assure you, upon our ou-k\nfinish,\"\n\"And well you may,\" I said. \"I have\nadmired it more than I can tell you.\"\n\"Then you can imagine my consternation when I came home, after a fortnight's visit to my dn tighter, Marian,\nto find Daisy wus painting tlie doors\nof the dLning-room in. juinels. W 11 e\nluul put ou the first coat all over two\ndoors\u00E2\u0080\u0094whHo point, my dear!

They\nnre. a little thinner, but will polish up\nto the old tone in time,\n\"Uut after that day Willie was more\ncautious about ber undertakings,\nthough more devoted to her. She hnd\nbeen with me then nearly three yeurs,\nand she luul recovered from ber first\ngrief. She was very youug, not 20\nwhen Tom died, and looking like a little girl, So when she shyly ventured\nupon a white dress and some blue ribbons, and eame down to tea looking\n{frightened at her own temerity, I said,\nlovingly:\n\"'What a pretty dress, and how pretty\nmy Daisy looks in it.'\n\"'You don't think It is forgetting\nTom, do you?' she asked, with quivering lips.\n\" 'I am quite sure you will never forget Tom,' I said, kindly, for she was\nt rembliug all over, 'but I am as sure that\nTom loved you too welt to wish your\nyoung life spent in mourning, even for\nhim. It is nut u nil for you to be joyous,\ndear, uud nothing gives tne so much\npleasure as to hear you sing or see you\nsmile.'\n\"She had been wearing her blue ribbons for some months when the scrap-\npieture and cnrd-collectiug lunacy\nstarted. I bore my portion of the\nmartyrdom ns valiantly .as I could. I\nsaw a priceless old Chinese jar thut was\nun heirloom plastered over with butterflies and grotesque heads, and varnished, and did not faint; I endured\npatiently when a costly Japanese vase,\na present from a dear old friend, shared\nthe same fate; but ut last the traditional straw was laid upon the earners\nback.\"\nI looked nt the dear old face, lighted\nby a half-eomieul twinkle of the eyes,\nnud wondered where such angelic patience could have given way.\n\"One of my boys,\" said the old ludy,\n\"my Paul, was a surgeon in the navy,\nand from every voyage he brought me\ntreasures that became sacred when he\nsailed away and never returned.\nAmongst theso doubly precious possessions was a sandal-wood table, a masterpiece of carving, with a top polished\nlike marble. The heavy ceuter-leg\nbranched off Into feet of curved leaves,\nnipporting the center, which wns\nonrvod Iuto exquisite garlands of\nflowers, twisted round a tree trunk,\nBut the beauty of the wood itself was\nthe only ornament of the Hat top.\n\"The table stood in a small room off\ntbe parlor, that wns seldom used, unless\nwe hud company, and I never imagined\nit in nny danger until, coming rather\nunexpectedly from a walk, I saw Willie's bend nnd Daisy's bent over It.

These blocks are.\nin. fact, exactly similar to those which\nchildren play with in every civilized\ncountry in tbe world, and they are\nused in precisely the same way as if\nthe monkey were a j-oung specimen of\nthe human race. There is one professor\nfor each monkey, and the monkey is\ntaught by means of the blocks to spell\ncertain words. If the, word is \"fruirt,\"\nfor example, tlie monkey, after having\nbeen taught to arrange the blocks so\nas to spell tho word quickly amd without error, receives a bit of fruit as his\nreward. The same exercise Li repeated\nwiith other words; and it is'hoped that\nin time tlie simians will learn how\nto read and spell and understand English, if they cannot speak it. An effort\nwill also be made, it is said, to educate\nthese beasts so that they may become\nfairly efficient domestic servants.
