In spite of this drawback\nall accommodation for spectators was\ntaxed to the uttermost. Humors of\nunusually iniportu^ pending railway\nlegislation, a general curiosity -very\npleasantly and satisfactorily gratified\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094as to the outcome of the government's financial policy, all contributed\nto swell the numbers of tbe large and\nbrilliant crowd which witnessed the\nopening of what it is generally felt\nwill be an important, though not very\nlengthy, session.\nThe substance of the speech from\nthe throne, tis read by his honor the\nlieutenant governor, was of a nut ure\nto confirm these expectations. Without being long, it contained more\nmatter of general public import than\nhas been the case for some years. His\nhonor, it is pleasant to note, in spite of\nhis advanced years and recent severe\ndomestic affliction, was in excellent\nhealth.\nOf the much-discussed financial\nmeasures adopted by the government\nlast session, his honor said: \"I am\nglad to be able to inform yon that the\nmeasures taken by you last session\nhave done much towards placing tlie\nfinances of the province on a sound\nbasis, and that for the first time in\nmany years the public accounts show\na balance of reveuue over expenditure.\" \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nAs those last words wore spoken a\ndistinct sensation, uncontrollable ill\n-.pile of the decorum which the etiquette of the occasion demanded, was\nuoticabl- throughout the audience.\nThe vindication, after a year's trial, ol\na totally new departure in provincial\nfinance me'.hoda; tiie fact that the div\nuially familiar deficit was no longer\non tiie carpet; the fact that the inUch-\nabused financial policy had effected\nthe thing it promised to effect till\ntliis was ample warranty for the sub\nJ lied, yet evident, thrill which pervad\n.*d his honor's hearers.

This will, of course\nbe one* of the most anxiously watched\nfeatures of the sessional programme\nUn the departure of the lieutenant\ngovernor and stall, the ordinary for\nmui business of the first day of the\nsession was quickly put through.theri\nbeing no hitch In the proceedings.

The terms\nused by blm were adopted by every\nlater writer and are still ln use all\nover Europe, although variously corrupted.\nThe following list will give some\nIdea of tbe number and power of Aristotle's word coining, which ls revived\nin modern everyday English:\nMaxim, principle, subject, matter,\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2form, end, final, cause, motive, energy,\nmean, extremes, metaphysics.\nHe called his investigations about\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0animals \"histories,\" whence we call\nour science, wblcb bas the same end\nln view, \"natural history,\" and in our\nuniversities the term \"faculty\" is a\ntranslation, corrupted ln Its passage\nthrough tbe Latin, of Aristotle's term\nfor art\nA LIVING SWEETMEAT.\nThe Way Native tleilrana Eat tha\nHoney Bearing Ant.\nThe honey bearing ant of southern\nMexico and Colorado works at night,\nstoring the honey ln curious fashion.\nAfter a foraging expedition on the\nplants of the Schrug ouk tbe worker\nant on Its return forces the honey by\nmuscular contraction from Its mouth\ninto tbe crop and abdomen of the\n\"honey bearer.\" This crop ls walled\nby ten muscular plates and is capable\nof great expansion. When filled the\nabdolhen becomes extraordinarily distended, the \"bearer\" resembling a sac\nof amber colored honey, with tbe head\nand thorax like small appendages on\none side.\nThe \"bearers\" being rendered almost\nhelpless by this change of condition,\nare carefully attended by the other\nants and kept In suitable compartments, where, clinging to tbo roof,\nthey hang down liko amber globes.\nThe ants as they need food apply their\nmouths to those of the \"limicy bearers,\" when a slight contraction of the\nmuscles forces out minute drops, which\nare licked off and consumed. These\nants nre used by the natives of Mexico\nes dessert to their feasts, tbe honey\nbeing extracted by pressure between\ntbe teeth.\nA LAMB AND ITS DAM.\nThe Way the Ewe Recognises Ita\nOvrn OffaprliiK.\nAlthough sheep can see and hear\nvery well, It is undoubtedly by the\nsense of smell that the ewes recognize\ntheir own offspring. Sir Herbert Maxwell relates nn interesting example of\nthis odd fuct, citing thc case of n Cheviot lamb wblcb bud fallen Into a\nriver and, owing to the steepness of\nthe bank, could not climb'out.\nAn angler, who was flailing In the\nstream, rescued tlie shivering animal,\nand lt staggered away, bleating pit*\neously for its dam. It found her without much difficulty, but the mother,\nsnlfllng disdainfully at tbo dripping lit-\ntie wretch, pushed It off. refusing to\nrecognize lt. The angler appealed to\na shepherd who happened to pass that\nwny for an explanation of tlie ewe's\nbehavior, \"Oh,\" auld be, \"the bit\nbeastlc's been In the wnter, ye see, and\nthe auld ewo cnnna smell It. She'll\nUk It back as soon as It's dry.\"\nAnd so It turned (yit\u00E2\u0080\u009E The fleece was\ngoon dried, the natural odor return.ng,\nand the mother and child were reconciled and reunited at once.\nOne rhaae of Mexican Etlqnett*.\nMexlcau etiquette Is peculiar, ns la\nshown by the following quotation\nfrom a letter written by a Spanish woman while traveling in that country:\n\"There Is one piece of etiquette entirely Mexican, nor can I imagine whence\nderived, by which lt ls ordained that\nnil new arrivals, whatever their rank,\nforeign ministers not excepted, must,\nin solemn print, give notice to every\nfamily of any consideration in the capital that they have arrived nnd put\nthemselves and their homes at the disposition of tbe residents, falling in\nwhich etiquette the newly arrived family will remain unnoticed aud unknown.\"\nThe Steam Engine.\nThe steam engine wus made perfectly automatic by a la*zy boy who was\nemployed to open and close the valves.\nDesiring to play instead of to work, he\ntied a string from one part of the machine to another, thus making the engine itself attend to its own business.\nHe wae never heurd of again, aud even\nhis name is unknown, but a perfect engine was the outcome of his laziness.\nDoing Nothing.\nWeary Willie\u00E2\u0080\u0094I'm a wictlm of police persecution, lady, dat's what I\nam.

Now they know\nthat rheumatism is caused by the\nblood becoming tainted with uric\nacid from disordered liver and kidneys. This acid eats into the vital\norgans. It destroys their vitality,\ncontracts the muscles, stiffens the\njoints and irritates the nerves. Then\ncold and wet make every bone groan\nwith aching rheumatism. You blame\nthe weather, but the real cause is\nacid in the blood. The stiffness\nspreads and the pains grow worse\neach year until you are a helpless\ncripple, tortured day and night. Perhaps the disease may spread to .the\nheart\u00E2\u0080\u0094and that means sudden death.\nYou must not neglect rheumatism\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nbut you can't cure it with liniments,\nplasters or hot cloths. They cannot\npossibly touch the blood. \" The only\nsure scientific cure is Dr. Williams'\nPink Pills, because they actually\nmake new blood. They sweep out the\npainful acid, loosen the joints, and\nmuscles, brace up the nerves, and\nstrengthen the liver ant kidneys for\ntheir work in casting out impurities.\nThis is proved by the thousands of\nsuffering rheumatics who have been\nmade well and strong by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. T. H. Smith,\nof Caledonia, Ont., is one of these\nmany witnesses. He says: \"For a\nnumber of years I was badly troubled\nwith rheumatism, and was so crippled up I could scarcely do any work.\nI tried a number or medicines, but\nthey did not help nse. I saw Dr,\nWilliams' Pink Pills advertised as a\ncure for rheumatism and decided to\ntry them. Before the third box was\ngone I found myself much better. I\ncontinued to use the pills throughout\nthe winter and they have completely\ncured me. I got so I could work on\nthe coldest day without a coat and\nnot feel a twinge of the trouble. 1\nthink every rheumatic sufferer should\npromptly take Dr. Williams' Pink\nPills.\"\nDr. Williams' Pink Pills cure men\nand women who are crippled with\nlumbago, rheumatism, sciatica, paralysis and even locomotor ataxia, because they actually make new, rich\nred blood. The new blood sweeps the\npainful, poisonous impurities out of\nthe system and puts the whole body\ninto a healthy state. Nothing but\ngood rich blood can do that\u00E2\u0080\u0094and\nnothing can give yoa healing blood\nexcept Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It\nthe blood ls bad the nerves are bad,\nfor the nerves feed on the blood.\nThat Is the cause of sleeplessness,\nnervousness, hysteria, St. Vitus'\ndance, neuralgia, and loss of vitality\nln men and wonien. Dr. Williams'\nPink Pills faithfully used cure these\ndiseases and other blood disorders\nsuch as anaemia, biliousness, Indigestion, heart, troubles, backache, kidney trouble and decline. But you\nmust get the genuine pills. The\n\"something else just as good\" medicine which some dealers try to persuade their customers to take never\ncured anything or anyone.

Pay us when\nit pays for itself,\nNov. 1st, 1905.\nLet us double the\nvalue of your farm\nand multiply your\nbank account by\ntwo with a\nCHATHAM\nFANNING MILL\nPay us Nov. 1st,\n1905.\nThe farmer's life is a constant battle with the weeds. A farm gets better and better or worse and worse ; if the weeds are not\ndefeated they soon bury farm and farmer under their parasitic legions. Mid the struggle with the weeds still another strugrle goes\non, the fight against grainless stalks and shrivelled, shrunken grain. Like begets like and every grain stalk is bound, if deeding\nbe neglected, to have many undeveloped, shrunken or unfertile grains thereon. If they are planted what happens?\u00E2\u0080\u0094more grain\nstalks of the same kind spring up, lhe pollen from their sickly tips fertilizes other healthy tips and begets a grain field full of barren\nstalks taking just as much nourishment from the soil as actual grain bearers. Likewise, the weeds appear, no effort being made to\nrid the seed grain of their foul presence, and they have increased a hundredfold.\nThe problem is clear: you as a practical man, know these troubles as grim realities and yon should plan to stop them. Let\nns show you how you can do it with a\nCHATHAM FANNING MILL\nhow each year your land will become freer and freer of weeds aatil the farm is clear of tbem : let us show you how you can get\nfancy prices for every bu\u00C2\u00BBhel of your grain for Seed, how your farm can be made to yield 40 bushels of No. I hard wheat to tht* acre.\nThe Chatham Fanning Mill is the worker of these farm wonders. It is a seed Separator that rids your harvest ol nil foul\nweed-seeds, pigeon weed, cockle,mustard and especially wild oats. It turns foul weed.seeds and cracked, imperfect grains from money-\ntakers 10 money-makers for you feed them to stock for profit instead of replanting them to renew their soil-eshaustine growth and\nlabor loss. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nThe Chatham Fanning Mill is a Seed Grader that delivers to yon, pure as virgin gold, the large, full, plump and perfect grains\nthat sell at top prices or, if sown, will bring torth from your land other harvests more perfect still.\nNo (arm pays ju:,! because il happens so to do. It takes brains to win. Weeding wilh a hoe is a heartbreaking task, the\ncultivator is but little better: why not get rid of that pest of weeds altogether when a Chatham Fanning Mill makes it such an easy\nniatter ? Some weed plants carry as many as 375,000 seeds on a single stalk : think what that means ii Ihey are replanted There\nis haidly any market for low giade grain. Let a quantity of cockle, mustard or wild oats creep into your product and down goes\nyour grade while down goes your price. If you sow uniform, perfect grain it will all ripen at the same time; theie will be no loss\nfrom harvesting short, immature, unripe (^rain-heads, and practically the whole crop will grade No. I, Old style mills hardly did\nmore than separate grain from chaff, light and heavy grains were more or less mixed and f ml weed seeds ever present. To plant\nsuch seed meant rapid crop degeneiation and a weed exhausted soil. The only Fanning Mil. lhat cleans and grades with abso\nlute accuiacy and perfection every seed or grain that grows on earth is the Chatham.\nIT SEPARATES OATS FROM WHEAT BETTER AND FASTER THAN ANY MACHINE MADE.\nThere are many other fanning mills but the Chatham is the superior of them all.\nIt has an automatic device which keeps the screens and riddles free from clogging : it h**l 17 screens, insuring a wide range\nof work and accurate adaptability to the particular work at hand : it has both side and end shake : a screw feed insures regularity\nand us automatic bagging device is the greatest labor saver on any mill made.\nIT IS EASY RUNNING, QUICK ACTION, AND CLEANS 40 to 60 BUSHELS OF ORAIN PER HOUR\nRepairs, which are rare!? needed, are cheap, always on hand and easy to get. The\nChatham Fanning Mill has been a prise winner wherever shown. The Manitoba\nwheat that won the Grand Prise at the Taris Exposition ol 1900 and the Gold medal\nat Charleston, S.C., 1902, was cleaned wilh a Canadian Chatham Fanning Mill.\nThe prize grains from Oregon and Colorado at St. Louis World's Fair were cleaned\nby a Chatham Fanning Mill. Over 100,000 are in use, every one giving unqualified\nsatisfaction. Mills sold in 1867 are in use to-day, as good as ever. The Chatham\nFanning Mill is absolutely guaranteed for five years. These are a few of the\nreasons why the Chatham Fanning Mill is belter than iny other mill made.

FEBRUARY 24, 1905.\nKDITOHIAl, UKO l'l* IN SIS.\nFor the seven months ending with\nJanuary 39,685 immigrants arrived in\nCanada, being an increase of 7304\n*i>ver tbe same time last year.\nLast year the published dividends\nol the various mining concerns ta\nNorth America aggregated upwards of\n190,000,000. Business methods applied to mining yield haudsome returns.\nIn the legislatiur'on Saturday.Hon.\nMr. Green stated it was the intention\nof the government to shortly cancel\nthe Columbia & Western land reserve.\nSuch an act would be of import here,\nas it would open to settlement all the\nlands in the lattle'Sloean and contiguous valleys, as well as giving folk a\nchance to get at valuable timber\ntracts. For years there has been much\nscheming, conniving, wire-pulling,and\nmoney wasted in an effort to corral the\ntimber, and it will lie to the public interest to have tho matter fairly and\nhonestly adjusted.\nShould\"the government make good\nits intentions, the people of the province, whether in organized municipalities or otherwise,will be compelled\nto take a greater financial interest iu\ntheir schools, lt is contended the\npresent system .bears too hardly on\nthe provincial exchequer aud prevents\nan easy adjustment between receipts\nand expenditures. Were power given\nto levy rates upon outside people\nmaking use of municipal schools, it\nwould lessen the burdens of the cities.\nJuat such a move would particularly\nbenefit Slocan, for instance.\nVictorians are indulging in rosy\ndreams because of the C.P.R. buying\nthe E. & N. road, predicting that the\nIsland will have a great boom for the\nnext ten years. Besides extending the\nrailway in various directions, the Canadian Pacific people are credited with\nthe intention to erect smelting works\nand develop the iron deposits on the\nIsland on an immense scale. Vancouver Island has remarkable riches\nin minerals, timber ami agricultural\nlands, and it is to be hoped its people\nmay derive to the full all the advantages to be earned from the development of those resources.\nThe Drill and the Sandon Standard\nare being condemned in some quarters\nas knockers for stating there were reasons for dissatisfaction among mine\nowners liecause of the treatment accorded them by the local smelters.\nUnrest has existed for a long time iu\nthe Slocan and the articles appearing\ni.M the local papers aneiit the smelter\nsituation are but tbe pulse beats of\npublic feeling in the camp. Facts and\nfigures are being presented that can\nnot lie denied by the smelter people\nand the public nre beginning to real\nize that thore has beeu, and is, just\ngrounds for complaint. Tin: Dmi.i.\nhas instanced the treatment accorded\nthe dry ores of this division by the\nexperience of the Ottawa mine, and\ngood has resulted, for it is not too\nmuch to hope things in the future will\nbo different for that property. For\nthe wet ores the Standard is conduct\ning au intelligent nnd telling campaign, directed principally against the\nHall Mines smelter, at Nelson. In\nlast week's issue the Standard gives\nprominence to a communication from\nH. T. Twigg, New Denver, which may\nlie taken as a semi-official presentment of the case from the silver lead\nmineowners. He submits a table de\ntailing the freight and treatment\ncharges upon various grade ores shipped from the camp, ranging OS high\nas 188.68 -wr ton. As in the case of\nthe dry ores, the table shows that the\nhigher grade wet ore* are penalized\na\ circumstance that reflects lasting\nshame upon the local smelters and\nconstituting a decided hindrance to\nthe advent of new capital into tin\ncountry. It has been stated bv tho\nsmelter people and sundry of their\nsupporters that smelter charges have\nnot been increased since 1902, and to\na limited extent it is true. But how\ndifferent things appear when the facts\nstand revealed. One grade of ore is\ntreated at the old figure, while others\nof increasing richness are penalized\nwith no light touch. By giving publicity to these undeniable facts relative to smolter rates, the Slocau press\nare rendering the milling industry a\nreal and beneficial service, by imparting to people a knowledge of the\nprimal influence that is thwarting the\ndevelopment and growth of this section of Kootenay. Instead of condemnation, thanks should biS tendered the\nlocal papers, and especially so to the\nStandard.\t\nDRILL POINTS.\nPay up your subscription.\nGeorge McLean is domiciled over at\nMoyie.\nFor the liest bread in town go to\nW.
