Thousands of persons in Asia and some parts of America subsist upon the seeds of various species ot water-lilies. Modern living Beems to favor cancer. â¢ Dr. F. B, Jessett, of London, affirms that tho mortality from cancer in England and Wales increased from 4,966 in 1850 to 13,542 iu 1881, and the death-rate per million inhabitants from 320 to 520. Eight spots from which carbonic acid is abundantly exhaled, especially during storms or low pressure, aro deEcrihcd by Dr. Parkin as existing in tho hamlet of Nivoze, near Spa, in Bolgium. Tho ground presents no unusual appearance, oxcept that nothing grows about the outlets. ExpLoitATioH Extraordinary.â An archaeological discovery was re- Oeully mado in German Alteuburg, fen'tlio.Danubo, in a curious maimer. After a week's study, from an elevated point of view, of an extensive corn-field, whose colors showed great variations, Prof. Ilausor declored that au ancient amphitheatre must bo buried underneath. Tho corn was quito ripe over tho centre of tho ruins, where the soil was thickest, and elliptical lines of green, growing paler the higher they rose, showed tho seats. Subsequent excavations confirmed this theory, and brought to light the structure, with a paved road leading to tho Camp of Oamun- tum. Tadleaus of Proouess.âAn important feature of tho history of inventions in the dep't at the Paris Exhibition will he the tableaus showing the characteristic industries of oach of the great epochs of human history. The industries of primitive man aro illustrated by four groups in full size, giving the lirst makers of stono implements, tho first engravers, the first architects and tho first founders. The figures aro modelled from skulls and skeletons of the various races. Egyptian, Chaldean, Greek and Gallo-Roman work is also represented, and the collection of groups of working- people is supplemented by collections of their manufactures. A Buffalo Ounsus.âA report is being prepared for tho Smithsonian Institution, by Prof. AV. T. Horna- day, wliich will show tho habits of the American bison and its gradually decreasing rango, and give interesting details concerning the reduction of its numbers from countless thousands a quarter of a century agoâ the slaughter of 1868 to 1872 taking off three nnd a half millionsâto less than 760 at tho present time. Tlio bul&lo now left include 243 head in a domesticated state, viz.: 140 head belonging to 0. J. Jones, of Garden Oity, Kans.; 35 head owned by 0. Allard, on the Flathead Indian Reservation, Mont.; 18 head with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show; 13 head on Ohos. Goodnight's ranch near Clarendon, Tex.; and several small herds of two to five head. The wild herds, so far ns known, are as follows: Near Peace River, Oanado, probably 200 head, though considerably more according to some estimates; in Yollowstone National Park, as counted no longer ago than Feb. 12, 200 head; in the Pan Handle of Toxus, 30 hoad; on the Red Dcsort, Southern Wyoming 20 head; in the Mussel Shell country, Montana, 10 head; in Southwestern Dakota, 5 head. In the World of the Little.â If unchecked by a limited food- supply and other causes of destruction, tho inordinate multiplication of the lower forms of life would overwhelm the earth with appalling rapidity. M. Maupas, an Algerian naturalist, has lately illustrated this by determining the reproduction- tinio of ccrtoin infusoria. Taking Sylonichia, for example, ho finds that oach individual produces another by division at the end of four or five hours, making five divisions per day, or 150 generations at the end of a month. Making no allowance for casualties, the descendants of tho 150th generation would givo a numbor of individuals represented by a figure followed by the 44 ciphers. M, Forei trios to convey an appreciation of such a number. If we count ono per second, at the end of a year we have 31 millions, or 3 followed by 7 ciphers; at tho ond of a century, 3 followed by !) ciphers. Continuing the count a million millions of centuries, wo add 12 more ciphers, making 21. Grouping our animalcules in bundles of a million millions each, we can again add 12 ciphers, making 33. Inviting the whole human race to aid in the enumeration, the 1400 million peoplo bring our count only to 4 followed by 42 ciphers. Theroforo, tho entire population of the globe, working day and night during a million millions of centuries, each person counting per second a bundle of u million millions of infusoria, could not complete tho count of the descendants of the 150th generation of Stylonichia produced from a single individual at tho end of 30 days by simple division 150 times repeated. M. Maupas has made a more conceivable calculation, finding that the total volume ef the 150th generation represents a little loss than a thousand times tho volume of the sunâthough each individual moasuros hardly the hundredth of an inch, This is not exceptionally rapid reproduction, and in bacteria division is completed in an hour.

San Francisco, Mny 11,âThe despatch from St. Louis, stating that nt yestorday's meeting of the Transcontinental association a reduction to ono dollar per hundred pounds on canned goods from Pacific coast was agreed on, has caused a great deal of rejoicing among tho fruit and salmon packers, pacific defences. San Francisco, May 8.âBy re- 3iiest Gonoral Miles, commanding tho ivision of tho Paoific, to-dny gave his views on tho military situation of this coast, its defences, etc., boforo United States senate commission on our relation*- with Canada, which arrived last night. Tho general first outlined the history of the fortifications of this harbor and of the Columbia river, Puget Sound, he explained haa never possessed any defences, although its ports are within sound of the guns of British fortifications, Tho defences of the Columbia river at Forts Canby and Stevenson are obsolete and al most practically useless. Tlie same state of affairs was said to exist in this harbor. This need not bB so, for this government has it in its power to equip its porls here with guns equal in force to any thnt any foreign vessel can carry. Tlie statement of General MUeB that the naval vessels of a foreign power, provided with a mordern armament, could easily lie off the Golden Gate and throw shells weighing 1000 pounds to a ton into the centre uf San Francisco, fully 8 miles, seemed to make a profound impression. With similar guns in the Alcatrcz and other fortifications any such attack could be readily resisted. Gen. Miles was of opinion that 825,- 000,000, as a rough estimato, would bo su tli dent to make the entire coast defences all that could bo desired. In response to questions from Senator Dolph of Oregon, tho defences required to make Puget Sound and the mouth of tho Columbia river impregnable were outlined. Proper fortifications nt Point WiUon, Melectino nnd Admiralty Head, would easily protect that interior region againBt any foreign naval force. The British have made vory extensive and costly defences at Vancouver island, considering it evidently ono of the most important of the British possessions. The Island and fortifications there arc, in Geu, Miles judgment, valued independently of thoir proximity to tho United States. "In other words," snid Senator Allison, of Iowa, "even if we might buy British Columbia, the British would still desire to retain Vancouver islnnd." The committee by iuvitatioii of Geu. Miles will tomorrow visit tho various fortifications of the harbor. HOME RULE. FROM VICTORIA, During Attempt to Bob n Till. Hot Weather, Special lo tlie Columbian.

The report of Geo. M, Dawsou, assistant director of the Geological and Natural History Survey of Canada, on a portion of tho Yukon district, N, W. T., and adjacent northern pnrt of British Columbia, has just been published by authority of parliament. The exploration upon which tliis report is bused was carried out ns part of the work of the Yukon expedition, of which Mr. Dawsou was placed in charge. Furthor explorations and surveys carried out by R. G, McConnell and W. Ogilvie will form tho subject of separate roports. Dr. Dawson's report makes a substantial volume of noarly 300 pages. It contains, besides extended references to the goo- logical character of tho country, interesting information of a historical character, a description of Indian manners and customs, notes on tho Horn, fauna and insects of tho country. Tho delimitation of the boundary between the Dominion and Alaska devolved upon Mr. Ogilvie, but it is plain to be seen from the corrected map accompanying tho report, which embodies tho result of Mr. Ogilvie's operations up to the end of last year thnt Forty Mile Greek, where tho bulk of the gold mining is being done at present, is woll within Canadian territory. Mr. Dawson says it has been prospected for about a hundred milos from its mouth, gold boing found almost everywhere along it as well as in tributary gulohes. Fow men working thore in 1887 were content with Icsb than 814 a day and several had taken out $100 a day for a short time. Tho general re- Bult of tho prospooting so far has been to provo that six largo and long rivers, tho Lewis, Teslintoo, Big Salmon, Polly, Stewart and Whitoâyield gold along hundreds of milos of their lower courses. Mr. Dawson, however, does not omit to stato that great difficulties nnd hardships havo to bB overcome by miners now encoring tho country.

Ho says if tho French government intend to prolong the sitting of the deputies until next year the aotion is equivalent to a coup d' etai against universal suffrage, and it would be the duty of every citizen to rise in opposition. He would not be the last man to rise in such a condition of affairs. APPLICATION REFUSED. London, May 9.âLord Chief Justice Coleridge to-day denied the application of Attorney-General Webster for the postponement of a suit in which the latter is interested, the application being based on tho ground that Webster was engaged on n ease before the Parnell commission. The chief justice, iu refusing to grant a postponement, said that it had been the practice, and still was, to favor the attorney* general in tho respect mentioned when that oflioial was engaged in public cases; but that the rule would not be permitted to extend to a case in which tho attorney-general was acting in a private capacity. This judicial expression is believed to have been designed to strengthen the contention of tho government that the attorney-general, as counsel for the Times, is in uo sense an officer of the government, A LONDON MURDERESS. London, Muy 9.âAnother case of crime resulting from the practice of insuring children's lives, has been discovered at Deptford. In February a boy named Bolton, 11 years of age, died at Deptford. Suspicions of fodl play arising, his body was crhiimed, when it was found that he hau h.-rr poisoned, traces of arsenic being discovered in the lad's stomach. The boy had boarded at the timo of his death with a rotative named Mn. Winter, who obtained twenty poundi on the boy's life. In order to get the money the woman forged the boy's mother's name to the receipt. It transpired in 1885 that Mrs. Winter had insured the lives of twenty-seven of her relatives, and has driven rather a lucrative trade in the business. Five of her victims' have died, and in eaoh case Bhe has collected the insurance on their lives. It is thought she poisoned them aud intended to poison all the others whose beneficiary she wai. This wholesale murderess is at preient ill, but her arrest will bo made as soon as possible. Surrey council. Council met pursuant to adjourn* ment, all members preient. The minutes of previous meeting were approved; communications wore received from D. Robson city olerk Westminster, Dr, Fagan and Dr. DeWolf Smith; Surrey agricultural association, W. A.

The agitation in Victoria in the matter of tho China steamers being compelled to call at that port on their way to and from the mainland is serving somo useful secondary purposes. In tho first place a temporary sort of entente cordials has been established between tho journalistic gladiators of the capital, who for the nonce, beine- chronically loaded to the muzzle and furnished with hnir- triggers of the most sensitive pattern, are discharging their incontinent Gatlings in a wild and indiscriminate frenzy into their brethren of the mainland. We could almost appreciate this part of the situation if it was not for tho fact that wo have come in for a broadside ourselves in tbe general running-a-muck of the unconscionable and reckless belligerents; but moro of this later on. The agitation has developed the fact, too, that tho press of the capital still continues to hug that old battered, played-out, delusion that "Victoria is British Columbia." Wo have not the slightest objection to Victoria agitating in an honest way and in a reasonable spirit for the interests of Victoria (no ono would accuse the press of Victoria of agitating worth a cent for a very much broader object, whore the island city's interests would be spread out thin, and perhaps equalled or exceeded by other sections of the province)* but we do object to seeing an agitation dishonestly given a provincial significance, which in reality it does not possess. Another feature of the "rumpus," that ia worth noting, is the confessed apathy of the poople of the capital itself even, in the row that is boing kicked up by its industrious and zealous press. In the Standard of the 9th inst,, for instance, appears a long editorial, under tho head "British Columbia's Interests" (mark tho head), bewailing the fact that no ono but "Willis Bond," whom it distinguishes ns a "sable patriot," can be found willing to lead iho hosts of the agitators at this important juncture. Tho Standard's language is almost pathetic. Here is a sample: "And so it is to be left to Willis Bond to convene a meeting for the purposo of discussing a subject of supreme importance to Victoria at the present juncture! Well, there are worse mon than Willis, There are very many worse men. And yet, docs it not seem a little strange that some prominent oitizon, some one possessing larger interests and wielding greater influence, has not been found willing to take the lead in this crisis f It does, friend Standard, it does seem passing strange, and when it is remem bered, too, that the whole province is on the "ragged edge" of ruin on the issue, what are we to think 1 We would exhort the patriotic Victoria press, whioh, Atlas-like, has shouldered the entire province, and become the sole upholders of right and justice in this degenerate age and country, to redouble their disinterested and apparently unappreciated effortsâto cry aloud, to leap upod the niter, to lance themselves, if need beâfor peradventure the great ones of the province are asleep, or they have gone on a journey, or they are "very tired," or perchance they are in an "awkward position" and will have to be drawn and quartered and handspiked to get them out. Go it, brethren; you havo our best wishes and "moral support." men. * * * Mind and will and conseienee are not required for such puppets as tho Ncios-Advertiserwowid liavo the provinco sond to parliament, All that is required are well made and nicely dressed tailors1 blocks labelled 'Tory* or 'Liberal, aa the case may be. * * * As tho News-Advertiser represents no ono except its proprietor it may for a timo sacrifice the interests of the province to thoso of a party with impunity. But it will be impossible for the men whom the province send to parliament to pursue that course without being made to feel that they have made an improper choice." Bravo, Colonist. As abstractions the above sentiments aro sublime. It has always been tho reproach of the Pacific provinco at Ottawa that it could be depended on to return a "solid" and automatic six for the government. The Colonist has helped not a little to establish this discreditable provincial reputation. Victoria, too, more.than uny other city or section, has lain its neck under Tory shoe-leather. Whilo we cannot commend the ingratitude wliich such obsequiousness has evoked, still, if a moro sturdy self-respect and manly independence of both press and people is to be the result, the capital city may woll be congratulated that in its caso thrift did not follow fawning.

It is a curious and not altogether profitless study to note tho different effects wliich tho fiery ordeal is having upon the two leading belligerentsâthe Colonist and the limes. The old Colonist is plainly prolitting hy the dispensation, its dross is being purged away, and it gives promise of emerging from the furnace eleansed, renovated, converted, almost, wo might say. Tho party thralls which erstwhile bound it are being shrivelled and scorched in tho Intense heat, und a new-born and vigorous freedom of expression is rapidly talcing the place of the old cautions hedging. In the exereise of its newly-found liberty (which we hopo it muy nover lay aside or allow to become rusty, even when the occasion which developed it has lost its power to move), tho Colonist, on Thursday last, administers a lecture to the Vancouver iWno»-/l(Jijei'- titer on "Independence in Parliament," which truth compels us to say that rather servile journal needs, but from which it is too muoh, perhaps, to hope that it will profit. . We will just take the liberty of quoting a word or two from the Colonist's ringing utterances in tho article mentioned: "We liko to seo the Neat-Advertiser, of Vancouver oity, holding forth on the subject of independence in parliament. Its view, on that matter are unfortunately not now. In fact our heavy cotemporary seldom ventures to bo original. It evidently regards independence in any shape as a high orime and misdemeanor. It denies tho existence of political independence altogether, and would have tbe representatives of British Oolumbia in parliament to be out-and-out party | And now tho Times. O'Tempora I We are sorry for tho Times; yes we arc. But we'll pillory it just the same. We'll "teaoh it better luck," the rapscalion sheet. We said yestorday that the Times had got the "big head." But that isn't all. It's got degeneration of the heart as well, and is going from bad to worse. Unlike the Colonist, its very worst qualities are being brought to tlio surfaco by the "fiery ordeal." In an unreasoning and pettish rage, it is striking right and left, with or without provocation, in a way that can only excite ridicule, while weakening the cause it protends to bave at heart, and getting itself into trouble at the same time. The gratuitous and impudent attack upon this paper in the Times of Thursday, with its senseless and lying insinuations and charges, calls for a brief special notice. In the first place we can't imagine what we've said or done to turn the Times' incontinent Gutling in our direction. Then it heads its article with what it knows, and deliberately intends, to be a mean falsehood. "Honest John's Paper" it calls Tim Columbian, and repeats the senseless insinuation throughout. The article itself only requires a word to expose the iil-judged dishonesty of the Times' methods, and bow very hard up it must be to mako capital and fill its columns. Tho Times actually, in the ondeavor to discredit this paper, has the gall to throw up in the faco of Tim Coi. u-iMA-i of to-day tho attitude of The Columbian of three or "four years ago on a certain subject, well knowing, but being too mean to admit the fact, when by ignoring it a low advantage can bo taken, that The Columbian of to-day is in name ouly wbut it was three, two, or even a little over one year ago, and that "Honest John," to use tbo Times' own vulgarism, has no more to do with The Columbian than ho has with tho Times. We would ask the Times to make a note of this fact and to recollect it when it next feels tempted to wantonly sin in this particular. We don't want to be severe with a brother of the quill, but if the Times don't respect our right to be known as tho owners and controllers of our own paper we shall take means to compel it to, that's all. To digress a little, with respect to the particular occasion on which, according to tho rimes. The Columbian of a few years ago proved recreant to its dutyâby failing to protest against the voting of six thousand acres of land by the provincial government to the O.P.R. to induce the extension of that company's road to Vancouver, and without any condition, which might properly have been inserted at tbe same time, that tho road should have been extended to Westminster as well (thus saving onr own and the government's subsequent bonus for that purpose)âwe havo nothing to do. The Columbian's attitude on that occasion, whatever it was, is none of our business. Our course under such circumstances would certainly havo been very different from what tho Times attributes to The Columbian of that day. Is the Times satisfied 1 If not, we'll give it tho other barrel, but not this evo. Business and Residence Property in the City and Suburbs. Farming, Timber and Mineral Lands for Sale Cheap.

If thoy are not thore bright aud early in the morniu-*-, she will go to weaving Mrs. Stratton'B first," 1 aud Bertha Howe coased her impatient trump across tbo floor, and peered anxiously out of tho window to see if any ono were going by with whom she might send the hugo bag of rags, reposing eo quietly in the * corner, that night as Bho bad promised, No team was in sight, ond she began the tramp again, bo exceedingly annoying tothe . tall, sour-visaged woman, wbo sat by tho ' open door, busily plying hor knlttipg needles in tho fast fading light of day. Slio gavo a sorrowful toasof tha head, and tbo fast-growing stocking lay at rest in ber lap, us Bho aaid, irascibly) "Neiee Bertha, you aro a consummate fool I Do you suppose â tbat Jako Grant will be bo accommodating aa to cart your rags to tbo weaver'B, when .you rofused to go to the picnic at Beech lii-ovo to-day with bim. No, indeed, I can I assure yon." " Woll, I'm not certain that it makes any particular difference," tbe girl retorted coolly. " 'Whoro there's a will there's a way,*'ufavorito maxim of yours, auntie, I believo," un odd littlo twinkle in the dark eyes, half bidden by their thicket of lashos. " I abominate Juke Grant. Ho is a regular olodboppcrânot fit to escort any pretty girl to a picnic, much loss tho bollo of Shad- owvillo. iJon't scold, auntie; I'll manage to gut tbo rags to old Harriet's somehow. If v.-o didn't livo on this dingy back stroet, whero no ono ovor comes, unless," ond now a bewitching smile flushed across her dark, piquant face, " an admiror of mino, it would bo no difficult undertaking. Asitis, I wonder if I couldn't Bhouldor that bag of rags and go on my way rejoicing, asking no lodda of any ono. What do you say.auntioi'' 'That you'vo lost what littlo ooaso you over had," snapped tho lrato woman, mak- ; no needles chclt-ciacK a livelier tune i uaual. "Harriot Bprlngbottom lives ;uc:<, ly tbrce-qunrtcrs of a mile away, and a good part of tbo journoy lies up a steep, stony hill, and you complain that you are so tired ovory timo you draw a pail of wator 'from tho woll.

A few moments glutei- sho called out merrily: I " Thoro's a conveyance at the door to bear away tho carpet-rags. Como and seo it, cunt." Charity Howe arose, brigbtoned up hor 3yo-glas3CS with a pioco of chamois, put bwuy hor knitting work in a Blow, metkodl 'â¢id manner, that, to say tho least, was t-ini- ply exasperating, and thon wont to thodoor. 'ior glunce roved up uud down tho road, but iio conveyance greeted it, "You ore a thoughtless girl, Bertha, but 'it Is excessively rude of you to joke wltb your aunt" ' " But I am net joking," replied tho girl, "I am in dead earnest. Behold myvehi- jlol-' and she dragged beforo tho astonished [voman an old baby carriago that had beon !ylng perdu in tho woodshed for years and yenrsâtho Identical carriage that Bertha aci-aolfhad ridden in whoa a chubby, bright oyod baby. It wa-j a sad-looking, rlckoty affair, the lop destroyed long ago, but it had two 'wheels, something tbat answered for. a it-out, and a crooked handle whioh had been [broken in the middlo and tied together with string. Not a word did Charity Howo .iter; Bho turned her back on her niece, itercd the room, and resumed her knit- ing, while, nothing daunted, the girl put , in her wido sun-hat, convoyed to the dilapidated vehicle tho bag of rags, and Bet it '-.â¢HLi'tly on the scat, with tho remark that, 'â¢ us it was twilight, the passers-by would 'alto it for a baby out for an airing. And -thenâ-why, yes, I'd not thought of Itâthey .vill tako mo for its nurso. Well, no mat* iter. If only tho carriago don't givo out I It â_. such a sickly, superannuated thing. But now I've started I'll havo to tako the risk." ll Taking hold of tho handle, she gavo it a pull that sent tho thing on two wheels along lat a rapid rate, and made it givo vent to a i, wlteezo that was decidedly asthmatic. As sho emerged into the front stroet sho found jtlio sidewalk crowded with pedestrians, tho â road was alive with gay equipages in which ior littlo turnout looked shabby beyond description; but the lively scene that mother gaze- the vexations she had to encounter, did not deter ber from venturing farthor. Sho pulled tho hat low over hor faco, and dragged tho wheezy carriage through the crowd, tho rag bag sitting bolt upright on the seat, evory body peering curiously at |j her us sho passed* Ab Bho mounted the steep hill tbat led to old Harriet's, sho paused a moment to tako breath, and at this juncture two mon camo sauntering leisurely down a shady , avonuo leading from tho one grand hotel 'J of tho placoâThe Fhcenlx.

Hal hai" Was he laughing at herl Hadhesaidthe woj-dB purposely to mortify her! â Tho blood rushed to Bertha's face, and she started on Indignantly when tho mended handle camo apart, tho earrlage began to book and go Bwiftly down tho declivity, and with the Btart.ed ery of "Uy rags I Oh, my rags l" the girl sprang forward, two men at her heels. In a ditch, whoro rank woods roared thoir hoods, and a muddy streamlet glided slowly along, Bertha's conveyance came to a standstill, overturned, and tho capacious mouth of tho bag yawning open, the balls poured â¢out ono by one, and striking tbe ground, ran about in all directions.

"If so, tho poor little thing would havo broken its neck I Oh, my hand I my hand! how it does smart!" ho moaned, storting with alacrity to his feot and leaving tho ball of rags iuits nest. "Gracious Pctor! I wonder what kind of weeds you call 'omi" A crescent moon lit up tbo sceno bolow.

" There," ejaculated Spencer at last, in a tono of relief, rising to his feot, "wo havo not loft a ball on tho groundânot ono." " Don't bo too positive," cried Bertha, who bad counted each ball as it tumbled into and was swallowed up by tho rapacious mouth of the bag. "Ono is certainly missing, for thoro were thirty-nine balls iu all, and now I count but thirty-eight. Dear, dear! It is tho largest ono, tooâa gorgeous hit-and-miss one. Do look for it in the ditch, sirs; it inuct bo secreted there." Frank draw book indignantly. "I've dono my duty, all that ib required of mo in gotting down on my knees and bonding ovor till my back is almoBt brokon. I'm not sueh a ninny as to poison my hands in amongst thoso filthy woods, and cover myself from bead to foot with tho slimo and mud of tbo ditch. If Mr. Spencer is fool enough to submit to your unreasonable demands, ho may. Good evoning," and bo turned abruptly away. " Woll, why don't you go too, bIH" questioned Bertha of tho dark man, who mado no pretense of following his friend, but wbo was again on his knees in quest of tho missing ball. "Because I cnoosO to stay. I shall not leavo you until the ball is found and tbeso rags nro delivered into tho hands of the person for whom thoy are intended." Neither did ho. Ho ferreted out tbe hiding-place of tho ball, shouldered tho bag, and to all Bertha's remonstrances merely said: " Lead the way, 'tis useless to remonstrate." So tho rags got to Old Harriett's in timo andâwhat's tho use of spinning out the old story? When Carl Spencer took his pretty wife to his elegant city homo the rod carpet went with thom. "For," reasoned Carl, " it won mc a dear little wife, and therefore it is too precious a thing in my estimation to bo trodden upon and worn out by Aunt Charity.

"My business," said a banker from the arid zono of Western Kansas to a New York Times ropefrtor, "Ib to loan money at high rates of interest. I know how to safely conduct that business in tho arid zono. About nine years ago I established my bank. I had H2,000 capital. A banking capital of 913,000 would bo laughed at in New York City, but it is ample for operations that aro carried on in tho arid zone. And my bank pays a much larger per cent, of profit than any bank in New York. I can give tho bankors who do business in that town, and who think thoy know all about the business, points on banking. They sit in thoir offices and rub their faces with their hands and protend to think about financial matters, and they talk learnedly about singlo and double standard, and tho surplus and the state of trado and conditions favorable or unfavorable to profitable banking, but tho truth is that they don't know how to bauk to a decent profit. Prosperity of trade and industry!" ho exclaimed scornfully. '' What has prosperity, general prosperity of tho peoplo, I mean, got to do with banking!" ho demanded. And then ho added: "To bonk to advantago you must bank among people who aro hard up and who will cheerfully pay reasonable rates of interest for tho use of money, say from 8 to 5 per cent, por month. And tho payment of each and overy noto that you discount should bo secured by a chattel mortgage laid on all tho personal proporty owned by the signer of tho note. And, In addition, you must be careful not to lond too large a sum te one man. I nover lond a customer moro than 9100, except on tho final clean up, and I very seldom lend a man moro than ?50, whilo i1_. is my favorite sum to lond to tillers of tho soil. I novor loan money for loss than S por cont. per montb. I frequently chargo 5 por cont., and sometimes I get higher rates. For instance, a granger camo into .my bank a fow months ago. He said; * I want to borrow (15 for fifteen days.' "Isaid: -Money Ib mighty scarce, Jack.' '"I know it is,' ho said; 'what is the ratet' "'Jack,' I answered, -money is scarce- mighty scarco-but as you aro an old customer I will stretch a point in your favor. You want $15 for fifteen days 1 Well, I will mako out tbo noto for NO. How will that suit you!' '"Good heavens 1' he exclaimed, 'I thought you oharged 8 por cent,' and ho looked quito angrily at me. No, Jack,' I said,' 'times are hard. I havo to charge 5*--por cent,' and I smiled sweetly at him. Well,1 ho said, of ter a moment's attempt to grasp the interest problem, ' if you aro charging 6 per cent, I suppose that I will havo to pay it, but I think 8 per cent, is sufficient interest for any farmer to pay.' " Ho signed the note and the chattel to secure Its payment, and to this day that man believes tbat he paid 5 per cent, per month instead of w% per cent" And tho merry banker laughed loudly as he added: " And thoso are the sort of men I like to do businoss with." THE FORCE OF HABIT. How It Almost Led to the Lots of a â¢300,000 Package. " Not long ago," said an express agent ol the United States Express Company, to a St Louis Potl-Dltpatch reporter, "I had an instance of tho effects of long-continued habit brought to my attention in a most forcible aud disagrecablo manner. My run at tbat lime wus between Indianapolis and St. Louis, and I took tho express and monoy packages from tho Euatorn agent at tbe formor city. I bad thoroughly systematized my work, especially in regard to tho money packagea, which I always placed hi one particular spot beforo putting them into tho safe. The agont always brought thom to my ear, when I receipted for thom, and thon I would walk about tho platform for a fow minutes boforo tho train started. On the occasion to which I refer tho Eastern train was rather lato, the agent had somo business to transact with tho stntion-mustcr, and sent mo word to como on tho platform to receivo iny money, ho sending the other packagOBtomycan I went ovor to him and he handed me a canvas bag, which he told me contained over $200,000, tho largest amount ho had ever had. Ho explained that ho had not sont tho porter with this on account of its valuo. I set It down on a barrel, signed tho book und thon walked to my car to take a look at it Tho porter bad pluced a traveling-bag in tho placo I reserved for my monoy, and Booing it occupied I thought ovory thing was in ordor, and strolled about tho depot until tho t ruin started. JuBt as wo woro pulling out uu Irishman came running up and threw the bag containing tho £300,000 into my cur, I glanced at it und vory nearly fainted. I hud becomo so nccustomcil to having nothing to do whon I was on tho platform, thnt 1 hnd entirely forgotten the monoy, although my attention hail been particularly directed to it, and had loft it lying whoro auy one of ono hundred poople could havo ptckod It up and walked off with it Sinco that timo I havo lot nothing whatever Interfere with my regular routine." "Will your work stand tho test of time, ny friend ?" asked tho minister. "I think it will," replied young Mr. Sweotnote, who had published n volume of lovey-dovey poems, "it bas been on the market for four years, nnd tho publisher reports six copies sold, and they are copies I bought myself.

At Herring's opora house 16th May. -»-,-» The Mission Bridge Again. Mr. II. Abbott, general superintendent C. P. R., nnd Mr. A. J, Oambic, C. E., wore in tho city to-day for the purposo of trying to effect n compromise on tho width of tho drnw to bo placed in tho Mission bridge. They were anxious thnt the beard of trade ahould withdraw ita protest against a 60 foot draw, and wished thnt its notion in the mattor should ba reconsidered, They received littlo or no encouragement, the general fueling being that a 100 foot draw ahould bo maintained ns the only snfegunrd to lhe free nrd unobstructed navigation of the FraBor. Mr, Abbott did not appoar to bo very woll pleased with results of his visit, and Intimated that the action of the board of trado might be overruled. But tho peoplo aro unnnimoua that a 100-foot draw is absolutely necessary, and no compromise reducing Ub width wiU be tolerated. It is learned from reliable sources that the piers of the draw aro to be riff-rapped, that is, hundreds of tons of rocks will bo piled nround the crib-work of tho piors to koop them solid and in place, If this ia allowed, even if it does not interfere immediately with navigation, it will oause n bar to be formed, which will ultimately result in changing tho channel of the river. It is well known that even small snags have formed bars in the Fraaer whicli hnvo closed miles of the river to navigation, Tho Board of Trade Bhould tako this matter in hand and deal with it promptly, otherwise the navigation of tho river above the mission bridgo will be seriously imperilled.

H, Forister, well known to every pioneer of British Columbia as tho very popular steward of tho Fruser steamers iu tlio early dnys, from '58 and later, died in Key West, Fin., on tho 24th April last after a lingering illness, denial Tom Forister was stewnrd on the various boats owned by the lato Cnpt.

Hunt," the lnttor craft now resting in tlio bono yard on tho beach in tho upper hnrbor. Tho deceased, from his sunny, obliging disposition, was tho friend of nil tho old hands who sought fortune's favors on tho golden bnrs of tho Fraser und beyond. For tho pnst two years ho lived at tho residence ot Cnpt. John Irving, James Bny, until a fow months ngo, when ho left for Florida to visit his mother. Ho wna tnken ill shortly aftor his arrival nnd did not loave hia hed until dcnlli camo. Capt. Irving yestorday received a letter apprising him of the fact.âColonist, Man 9. In this city and vicinity Tom Forister was for years a familiar figure, nnd was lilted by everyone with whom he camo in contact, nnd no wonder, for Ins courtesy and good humor us a utoam- boat oflicer and private citizen wore unfailing.

ATiOer Dejected. To the old pioneer ot British Columbia it has of Into years becomo moro and moro apparent that his dny hns passed, thut tho usefulness in which he onco was held has branched off and passed down tho Hume of for* getfulncss, and his glorious past as much forgotten ns the worthless gravel from which tho purest gold was washed. It is sad to think that this is bo, but it is, and tho proof of it is to hand. The men who packed their mining tools nnd a jug of whisky over many a weary mile of wild uud rugged country, so that ungrateful prosperity might live and revel on the rich products of their arduous labors, nre now rejected, cast out and harshly forgotten. The few luxuries they crave for are refused them, nnd tho menus of obtaining theso aro cut off aud rudely denied by an unsympathetic and unpatriotic government. The latest instance of ingratitude is worthy the attention of alt who still have a warm spot in their heart for the faithful "Old Timer." An old pioneer (name not necessary) who for thirty years hns battled manfully with life in this glorious portion of the "wild nndwooly west," nnd who during this timo by strict attention to business, and by keeping hia weather eye open on tho "main chance," hns only managed to Iny up about a million dollars, sought to improve his condition by taking out a salmon fishing license in order to drnw from tho Fruser the wealth which the earth refused to yield, Tho old pioneer's eyes fairly watered as he laid tho application on tho inspectors tablo, and thoughts of glorious hauls of tho silver shining salmon passed through hia mind liko tho fanciful enchantment of a fairy tnlo. Lifo seemed young and joyous to tho old timer . na he Btood waiting for tho coveted parchment, but, alas, tho parting wish of the pioneer wna to bo refused, nnd hia pleasant vision swept away ns ruthlessly as n dish of oolachuns boforo a Victoria epicure. Tho inspector, hardened as most officials are, looked not on the worth of tho applicant, carelessly passed ovor hia craving for salmon, and firmly rofusod tho license. Wo will draw a veil over the scone thnt followed. The pioneer, ono of the fathers of the provinco, had boon thrust aside to make room for a Siwash, his last means of earning tho broad of lifo cut off.' O Tempora, O Mores! LATE CANADIAN NEWS.
