Boysot tender years\nare to he seen dailv inhaling Iln' poison-\nous fumes of tin' deadly cigarette, and\nthe eonseqiie f BUeh youthful indulgence is only too apparent. The Victoria\nTimet, in a late issm-. makes the following pertinent remarks concerning the\ncigarette evil. It says: ''There Ifl a\ngood deal of talk going the rounds on tlie\nevils of cigarette smoking, and unquestionably there are grounds for ii. Tobacco iu any form is Injurious to youth,\nand is especially deleterious when used\nin the form of cheap cigarettes. The\nfault, however, does nut lie with the\ncigarette vender, but rather with the\nparent of the juvenile purchaser, If a\nbit of personal reminiscence, for the sake\nof illustrating our point, is allowable, we\nshall say that memory lakes us haek lo\nthe period when we used to beg tobacco\nof the hired man, pulverize il. and wrap\nit in paper and smoke il. Too impecunious to buy a pipe, and unable lo\nconceal it if we bin! one, we evolved Ihe\ncigarette from our brain.but unfortunately lacked the business foresight, to take\nout a patent for il. Hut our inventive\ngenius alas, was not appreciated in the\ndomestic circle. The odor of tobacco\nsmoke so attached itself to our person\nthat the paternal relative got ou to it,\nand after a brief inquisition with a view to\nextracting an oral confession of guilt\na large leathern strap was vigorously manipulated across our back.\nThbj thrashing, coupled with the remark\nof the 'governor,' that no boy of bis should\nuse tobacco before he way twenty-one, if\nstrappings would prevent it, reduced our\ncigarette smoking to an unconsciously\nlow minimum, and now we are glad that\nour knowledge of tobacco was very superficial until we came somewhere near niit-\nturity. Parents of the latter generation\nseem to have lost their grip on their\nchildren, and fathers ami mothers in\ntheir helplessness would seek the aid of\nlegislation to assist them in a purely\nfamily affair. As a rale it is useless to\nreason with a boy under fourteen. He\nmust be thrashed into obedience and if\nparents haven't the backbone lo enforce\ntheir prerogative let them suffer the consequences.\nThere is no doubt if parents took hold\nof this matter as thoy should, enforcing\nhome discipline hy a judicious combination of advice and the strap, Ihe sale of\ncigarettes to boys would naturally fall off.\nIt is the parents which the newspapers\nshould lecture not the cigarette vendors.\nbe, as the Opposition bo loudly assert!\nthat the Government purposclj delays\nImportant and doubtful measures, iii\norder thai they may escape searching'\ncriticism, the very best means of correcting the evil would be tor the Opposition\nto let it be understood lhat tiny were\nprepared tu remain at their post just as\nlong as might be necessary for the faithful discharge of tbe duty for which they\nwere elected.\"\nOnce more (he nihilists of Itussia are\non the wai- path and seem determined tu\nhave tin' life uf Iln* czar by dynamite.\nThis time their activity Bolely means\nhaired lu i aivhy. Personally, tlie\npresent emperor, as a man, in all respects\nmay be considered the besi ruler over occupying Iho Russian throne.

REVELY,\nMaste\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nThe following in tin extract from the\nlate Hon. John Briyht'H famous appeal\nto Lord Palmoraton during the great\nRussian war: \"The Angel of Heath has\nbeen abroad in the lantl; you may til-\nmost hear thelieathi); uf bin wings, There\nis no one, as when the lirHl-born were\nslain of old, to sprinkle with blood the\nlintel and the two side-posts of our doors,\nthat he may spare and pass on; he takes\nhis victims Irom the castle of the noble,\nthe mansion of the wealthy, and the\ncottage of the poor and the lowly, and it is\non behalf of all these classes that f make\nthis solemn appeal. 1 am not, nor did 1\never pretend to be, a statesman J and\nthat character is so tainted ami so equivocal in our day that I am not sure that\na pure and honorable ambition would\naspire to it. I have not enjoyed for\nthirty years, like those noble lords, the\nhonors and emoluments of office. 1 have\nnot set my sails to every passing' breeze.\nI am a plain and simple citizen, sent here\nby one of tho foremost constituencies of\nthe Empire, representing feebly, perhaps\nbut honestly, 1 dare aver, the opinions\nof very many, and the true Interests of\nall who have sent me here. Let It nol\nbe Mild that I um alone in my condemnation of this war, and of this Incapabl\nand guilty Administration, And even if\nI were alone, if mine were a solitary\nvoice, raised amid Ihe din of arms and\nthc clamour of a venal press, I should\nhave the consolation I have to-night\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nand which I trust will he mine to the last\nmoment of my existence\u00E2\u0080\u0094the priceless\nconsolation thnt no word of mine has\never tended to promote the squandering\nof my country's treasure or the spilling\nof one single drop of my country's blood.\nThe Toronto Week commenting upon\ntbe \"hurrying and scurrying\" at the\nclose of each session of the Dominion\nParliament, Bays: \" We had supposed\nthat the duty of a deliberative Assembly\nwas to deliberate, nntl that of a Legislature was to legislate, and that the duties\nimposed hy the people upon their representatives implied that whatever time\nwas necessary for the purpose should be\ntaken. The proper time to end the session would seem to be when its work was\nproperly done. ,i.But, instead of the limit\nbeing fixed by the needs of legislation, it\nseems to lie becoming the fashion to fix\nthe time limit arbitrarily or at convenience and let the legislation govern itself\naiccordingly. The consequence is that\nthe last two or three weeks of every session nre marked by a restlessness Which\nmust lie anything bnt favorable to legislative calmness. * * * * If the fact\nOn ui After Monday Next, April 15th,\nTin- -icniner Isal*\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A01 will run as followi\ncalling :,\n: w.iy ports:\nMonday, 13, noon\t\n Victoria lo Nannimo\nTue\u00C2\u00BBda'.,7a.rri\t\nVVednesdayt 7 -\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\t\n Coiiiux tn Nanaimo\nFriday- 7 a.m\t\n Comox in N.msiiiio\nSaturday! 7 a.m\t\n Nanainio to Victoria\nFor Freight and Pai\nMar t-lf\nsage apply on board.\nNanaimo River, B.C.\nThis hotel is situated five miles from\nNanaimo. on the Nanaimo River, which\naffords Ihe finest fishing to be found on\nIbe Island, (lame of all kinds can also\nbe found near here.\nAlbion Iron Works.\n(LIMITIID)\nVICTORIA, 13.

The prince was successful in his suit,\njut in less than a year the beautiful young\nwoman died, and her body was placed in tho\ncrypt beneath tho cathedral, the coffin and\ntho iron door of tho vault being left open, as\nis still tlie custom in Tuscany, so that if tho\nperson thought dead comes to life he may escape being buried alive. In tho middlo of\nthe night after thu funeral Princo f-oudl was\nstartled by a knock ut tho outer door. Tho\nporter opened the door and a whito figure\ngroped its way in.\nTho porter fell in a swoon, and tho prince\nrushed to a clinpol In tho palaco and fell\npraying before tho altar, beseeching protection against his dead wife's ghost. For days\nall Florence, rang with tho story of how\nPrinco Ooudi was hiiiinteii by his wifo's ghost,\nand Iho excitement gradually died away.\nWhen the porter swooned and tho prince\nfled toblsaltar, the white figuro slipped out\nof tho houso und went to that of her old\nsuitor, Count Aldobruudl. Thero she knocked\nfeebly, but tho porter wus asleep, and tho\nmaster of tho house came to open the door.\nTho princess fell at his feet, and ho lifted\nher up aud called upon tho women of his\nhousehold to coi'O for her. After a week hud\npassed, no one knowing the facts, thu count\napplied to tho patriarch of tho cathedral,\nand asked: \"Holy father, if a woman is de\ndared dead and receives the sacred office ol\nthe church, returns to lifo, is repulsed by hor\nhusband, ls but received and taken cure of\nby a friend of her living days, who may\nclaim her!\"\nTho vcnerablo priest said tho question was\nso weighty that tho popo must answer it, and\nho replied that tho ono who had rescued her\ncould claim her. It was soon announced that\ntho Count Aldobrandl would wed a noble lady\nlong a stranger in Fierenzc, and he requested\nhis friend Croudi to glvo away the bride, hor\nparents not being preseut. At the appointed\nday, before the altar of a chapel in tho\nduomo, the marriage took place. The question was asked: \"Who gives this woman to\nbo the wife of this man!\" Princo Goudi\nstopped forward, but not until he bad taken\nher hand did ho know that ho was bestowing\nhis own bride upon another. But his knowledge came too late. For years Count Aldo-\nbrandi and his wife lived happily together,\nand at this late day a descendant of Prince\nGoudi tells the story as a historical fact. -\nNew York Star.\nThe Day tar Doctors.\n\"Which do you supp-us la tlio busiest day\nIn tbe week for a physician. I mean by that\nthe day on which one gets the most now\ncases!\" asked a dlsclplo of JEsculnpIus of a\nvisitor yesterday afternoon while both were\nsitting in the doctor's cosy little oflice on the\nsouth side.\n\"I don't know,\" was tho reply, \"but 1\nthought the doctors' business was very\nuncertain; In fact I never heard that people\nare more apt to become sick on ono day in the\nweek than on another.\"\n\"Well, then, listen to mo, and I will glvo\nyou the benefit of tho experlonco which I\nhave had during tho last thirty years. It\nbos been tbe result of my observation that\nthe largest number of people tako sick on a\nMonday. Not because It Is a particularly unlucky day, nor bocauso that day Is an enomy\nto human health and lifo, but for this reason:\nOf course you know that ou Sunday tho regular routlno kind of existence of overy day\nlifo receives a change. Tho man who usually goes down town to his oflice stays at\nhomo on that day; tho woi-ktngmnn nnd laborer, who havo been busily occupied during\ntho week cither nt tlio mill, glass houso or\nother places, do not, as a rule, work either.\nNow tho moro Interruption of the muscular\nmovement would probably not have any bad\neffect upon anybody wero it not for ono\nthing, tho chaugo of diet.\n\"The loving, thoughtful housowife, who\nknows that Sunday is tho only day on which\nsho cau havo all thoso that are dearest to her\naround tho dinner table, always exerts her\nculinary abilities more than usual, and she\ntries to make something out of tho common\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094something nicer nnd bettor to put before\nthem to eat. Tbo consequence is that she\nmakes her cookery richer, and she throws in\na few knlckknacks hero nnd there that taste\nvery well, but as a rule thoso things play\nhavoc with a person's digestion, especially\nwhen the stomach is not used to tbem.\n\"Now, that is the whole secret It ls a\nwell known fact that most diseases arise from\na disorder of the digcslivo orgaus, and hence\nyou havo tbo explanation why more people\ndo not got up on Monday morning os well\nand as bright as on any other day.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094Pittsburg Dispatch.\nCorsets of Leather.\nQuite a column has been devoted in tbo\nleading French papers to tbe news that a\nfresh material has been discovered for\u00E2\u0080\u0094corsets. One would not expect English influence to assert itself in so delicate a department But leather corsets are to be traced\nremotely to the Influence of the insulnrs.\nFrench ladies have taken up tennis (In a very\ndainty way) and croquet They even mention cricket as within feminine possibilities,\nthough probably they only mean the less active gamo that Is played with hoops and mallets. However, the Parisian corsetler has\n8oen bis opportunity. For such robust exercise the ordinary fabric is quite Insufficient.\nA concession is to bo made to English demands. There is to be glvo and take. French\ngirls arc to play tennis, nnd English girls aro\nto wear leather corsets. The change will\nprobably be greater for tho French than for\nthe English, though neither innovation is\nmuch more than a revival. In the days of\nHonry V\u00E2\u0080\u0094If Shakespeare is any authority\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe Parisians played a kind of tennis, and\ncertainly In tho days of Cromwell, If English girls did not wear kid corsets, their\nfathers put on leather yerklns.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Poll Mall\nGotette.\t\nThe Time to Slow Up.\nI heard a professional gentleman giving\nutterance to a singular theory a few days ago\nthat wiU strike tho average reader as at least\nnovcL He said: \"I'm now a little more than\n40 years of age, and I'm hedging, I am.

MAV\nLAND OF THE RISING SUN.\nJapan's Progress During the Past\nTwenty Tears\u00E2\u0080\u0094An Interesting Interview with British Consul Troup\nef Yokohama.\nMr. J. Troup. Her Britlanic Majesty's\nConsul at Yokohama, arrived in this city\nyesterday, having been a passenger on\nthe Abyssinia to Vancouver. Mr. Troup\nis accompanied by bis wife and Utile\ndaughter, and are the guests of Mr. 1\". It.\nPaul, the respected principal of Ibe Na-\naimo High School.\nA representative of tlio Courier called\nupon Mr. Troup at the residence of Collector of Customs Smith, und \"its received iiitli tin- utmost 'diality.\nMr. und Mrs. Troup in company With\nMr. ami Mrs. Smilh und Mr. Paul were\nulioiit leaving for u drive around the city\nwhen the Cot itiki. man put in an appearance but, statin:-'the object of bis visit\nConsul Troup, kindly luuinlttetl b> an interview.\nMr. Troup has been a resident ol Japan\nfor the pan twenty-five years and consequently has luul an experience with the\nJapanese of which few men can boast. Tlie\ngradual emergement of Japan trombabar-\num to a comparative state ol civilization\nhas been practically accomplished iu tbe\npast quarter of a century, and tbe development which has taken place, not only\nin the aria and manufactures but in education and everything which goes to\nmake a nation has been most marked.\nIn regard to the question of the news\ngatherer ns to the educational facilities of\nJapan, Mr. Troup replied that the country wns making great '.itri.U's in educational mutters. A complete system of\nprimary, middle and highschools was in\nforce, ami ul the University of Tokio a\nthorough collegiate training in llio arts\nand sciences could be obtained. This\nUniversity is doing good work nnd bus\ntwo departments\u00E2\u0080\u0094literary niul scientific,\nboth of which ore well attended, The\npeople of tin' West are prone to regard\nthe religions of the East us idolatrous\nand the people us heathens. This is\ntrue in part, but Christianity bus made\nconsiderable headway in Japan. The\nstnte religion, says Mr. Troup, is Sliinto-\nism\u00E2\u0080\u0094a worship of tho deified powers of\nnature. The\nANCESTORS OK THE M1KAIH1\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094the ruler of Japan\u00E2\u0080\u0094are also deified, as\nas well the heroes of the countn\u00E2\u0080\u0094those\nwho have won a reputation as patriots, and\ndoers of brave deeds and who are considered worthy lo be enrolled among the cods\nof the Japanese. As u matter of fact, the\nstate religion of Ihis people, says Mr.\nTroup, amounts only to a blghtoned\npatriotism among the educated, who\naccept it us necessary to the welfare of their country und as something\nwhich should be reverenced from the\nassociations with whicn il is surrounded.\nThe mass of the people are, however,\nBuddhists, of which there ure thirteen or\nfourteen sects. The various Christian\ndenominations have obtained a\nconsiderable footing, and it is\nastimated that there are nbout 80,-\nU00 native Christians in Japan. Statistics, however, ure dillieult to obtain, ns\nthe Roman Catholic Church absolutely\nrefuses to make known Ibe number of ils\nconverts. The Russian Greek Church is\nat present engaged in building a\nfine cathedral in Tokio. A native\nchurch .called the \"United Church of\nChrist in Japan,\" lias been organized,\ncomposed largely of those of Ihe Presbyterian andOongregationalist persuasions.\nThe political situation in ibe land ol'\nthe Rising Sun is quiet. The new constitution, which is Ihe work of Japanese\nstatesmen alone, but which is patterned\nlargely after the German constitution,\nwas promulgated about two months ago,\nand is received with general satisfaction\nby the people. The lirst parliament under the new constitution will convene In\nMarch of next year. It is composed of\ntwo houses, an upper and lower house,\nthe former appointed and Ibe latter elective, and it is confidently expected that\nlegislation of a broad and comprehensive\ncharacter having for ils object the development of the various interests of Japan\nand the throwing off of the lust vestiges\nof absolutism will be the resuR.\nIn regard to throwing the country open\nto foreigners Mr. Troup says Hint if will\nprobably be Borne time before such\na change in the policy of the country is\neffected. It is known that a treaty lias\nbeen arranged between Japan and the\nUnited States, but as it has not been ratified by the United .States Semite little is\nknown of its provisions.\nMr. Troup is of the opinion that in\nconcessions will be made to the United\nStates which will not he accorded other\nnations. There is a feeling among foreign\nresidents that liberal concessions should\nbe made, and the Chamber oil Commerce,\nof Yokohama, has expressed itself to that\neffect, and its action m the matter will\nno doubt carry weight, and it is to be veil\nsonably expected that in the near futnii\nthe entire country will be opened to\nforeign trade and commerce.\nIncreased attention is being directed to\nagriculture and fruit raising, and foreign\nfruits have been introduced, among then\nthe olive in the neighborhood, of Kobe\nthe\nSECONO PORT OF IMPORTANCE\nin Japan.\nThe ports open to foreigners iu which\nthey may do business are Yokohama\nKobe, Osaka, Nugasaki, Hakodate, while\nTokio the Capital, is only open to foreign\nresidents, who may live I here but who\nmay not engage in any kind of business.\nTRADE WITH CANADA.\nTlie establishment of a Japanese eon\nBulate at Vancouver is a direct outgrowth\nof the trade which has sprung into existence between this country and Japan\nthrough the inauguration of the China\nand Japan Bteamer service between the\ntwo countries. The prospect for the\ntrade between Canada and Japan is good,\nand Mr. Troup is of the opinion that a\nfair carrying trade can be built up\nalthough at preBent it is largely controlled liy the United States, and no doubt\nwill be for some time to come. However\nthat separate attention is being directed\nto Canada is evident from the fact that\nthis country now occupies a distinct\nplace in the customs returns, where formerly it was grouped with the United\nStates. The opening up of the line of\nsteamers was no doubt instrumental in\nmaking this country known, and the imports resulting from the trade thus established has given Canada a commanding\nposition as a source from which supplies\nmay be drawn. In connection with the\ntrade of Japan it may he said that it is\nestimated that one-third of the tea exported from Japan comes to Canada. This\nwill indicate tlie proportion to which\nother branches of trade might grow with\nproper effort to develop commerce.\nJapan Ib rapidly coming to the front in\narts and manufactures, as well ns native\nproducts. The coal mines are being quite\nextensively worked, but the eoal obtained is of an inferior quality. Railways\nare being built in various parts of tbe\ncountry and the building of these lines\nhas done much to open up and develop\nJapan. The principal work is done\nentirely by native engineers and workmen, who have learned engineering in\nEurope or America.\n.Mr. Troup is a mosl pleasant gentleman and is now enjoying a well-earned\nba\nDis:\nobal of Stock.\u00E2\u0080\u0094-The lust few days\nitneased the purchasing ofa large\namouni of dry goods, millinery and mens\nfurnishings from the cost price sale- at\nArthur Bullock's.

R. to Quebec and will-ail from\nthere for England and will return to bis\ninsular duties dining tlie latter port of\nnext year.\nTo the query ol the reporter us to how\nbe liked Hritish Columbia, Mr. Troup replied thai be was charmed with tbe\nclimate and beautiful Bcenery and only\nregretted thai his time wus so limited\nthat be could not slay longer in it.\nYesterday afternoon Mr. and Mrs.\nTroup were driven around tho city accompanied bv Collector of Customs\nSmith.
