'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ This ranch also produced one ear off a-quarter of an acre f raspberry bushes 125 crates, irhich brought 82.50 per crate [up,>netting the owner $300. Another good strawberry, is (the "Glenmary," and/'Lady Thompson" of which there is 'one-sixth of an acre. Strawberry plants are supposed' to be good if grown for 3 years, ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ut Mr. Wigen has berry plants [six years of age still producing well. Thompson No. 2 is another strawberry^ considered to ibe very good; it is a very clean [ibeny but is sometimes subject to fungus. This "ranch has just the "Bountiful" These are very prolific and will bear heavily the first year. These berry crops present a most unique and artistic appearance, being planted with mathematical pre-* cision in long, straight rows. The berry crates used in the shipping are also- made on this ranch. These crates are conveyed to the cold storage plant where they remain over night, by means of cute berry carts specially made for this express purpose. About June 20th the picking will start on this ranch and - will be kept up continuously for several weeks, the Wigen ranch always being able to ship latest in the season. ..' The cold storage plant on ^his small estate is also worthy "of note and special attention. .

Should any of the residents of the Kootenay at any time feel .^pessimistic, they should visit the Wigen ranch, *and see what this veteran of horticulture is' accomplishing, which has niade him woiiihy of the title df the "Strawberry King" in , this place that the berries are placed after being picked, where they remain over night for cooling purposes prior to shipment' by the express train the.following morning. Ice .is not used in this cooling pro-, cess as a wire door allows the cool breeze from the acres of pines on the mountains, to freshen the air quite enough-for cooling purposes. After the berries Have cooled during the night the work of packing ready for shipment at 12 o'clock the following, morning, is commenced at 5 a. m.

My efforts to secure a directors meeting for Creston seems to be progressing favourably and the members I sounded were disposed to support the proposal. At the Vernon. meeting this fall I expect that Creston will be able to get one of^the^two meetings in 1912/' Mr. Lindley .briefly referred to the question of rates as touched upon by Mr. Compton and said that the^ transportation committee might do a big work in the direction of equalizing rates. A motion was unanimously accepting Mr. Comp ton's report and complimenting, him upon the good work done by him at the meeting.

There are many people in Newcastle who remember Lord Joicey, whose valuable pictures at his Welsh seat were the object of a, burglar's raid recently, working as a young clerk in his uncle's office. Now he is probably the largest coal-owner in the world, who has justified hia nicknames of "Old King Coal" by having enshrined on his coat of arms two pit ponies and two miners' picks. ' Some k'ea of the extent of Lord Joieey's resources may be eathered when it is mentioned that a year or two ago hia firm took a lease of Lord Durham's pits at $5,500,000. And the capital expenditure was paid out of the profits within two years. Lord Joicey, who is the son of a Newcastle engineer, sat' in the Houbo of Com- .tnons for twenty years, und when the'] present Government came,into power he was rewarded with a peerage.

CHASE'S SYRUP OF LINSEED AND TURPENTINE if You Get the Genuine The mere mention of pnuemonia and consumption causes a person to shudder, but a cold is such a common thing that it is too often left alone until these other ailments develop from it. You can readily-cure throat and chest colds, croup and bronchitis, by using Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine. This medicine is both thorough" and far-reaching in its influence on the system. For this reason its merits are well known and its sales enormous. But there are at least four imitations of Dr. Chase's Symp of Linseed and Turpentine. And imitut-ions are always a little cheaper, now else would they sell. They are never sold on their own merit but on the "merit of the article they imitate. Their likeness is in name only, and when you are in need of medicine you don't want;'to ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ depend on a name or imitation.;" Every bottle of the genuine bears the portrait and signature of A.

The two witnesses are absolutely in accord in the statement made in this paragraph from the newspaper repo*t: "Many a young man never goes so far as a consideration of -the cost of matrimony. He is staggered by- the mere prelude to the showï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½the cost of courtship." Sweeping aside custom and conven- ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ tionalities, as we would cobwebs which, catching upon our lashes, hinder our examination of the specimen under the microscope, let us come down to the 'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½bottom fact" indicated by the evidence. If the girl be to blame for the social evil, she is guilty of^ommerciaj.sm, and of a sordid type, nf plainer language, she rates the value of her suitor by what he pays out in cold cash for her, and not for the qualities of mind and heart which should recommend him to her favor. I grantï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½before hearing her indignant ****otesi ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½that she has never admitted the disgraceful truth to herself. She has simply fallen into the habit taught her by other.women and tbe practice of men iri general. I grant as cordially t'-'at It Is passing pleasant to appear abroad with one's fiance, or one's, as yet, unacknowledged lover, and' to receive visible and tangible tokens of his devotion In the form of flowers and other gifts. We all like lt! The first wrong step Is the failure to eni'er into a mutual understanding upon this head. Mr. Vance ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½avï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½? thnt a yuuns fellow, drawing a salary of from $18 to* $25 per week, must expend from $10 to $16 upon an evening's entertainment enjoyed in ' company with his betrothed If he would come up to What she naturally expects from him.

One : woman I know insists that the young people shall come straight home after lecture, theater or concert. If there be several of them, all the better. They always ftnd a < little supper awaiting tllem in her dining room/ and if she have not accompanied them, she meets . them at the door with the biightv'st of welcomes. Her thiee daughters are immensely popular in .heir 'set, and go much in society. I have silently computed, sometimes, how iiiany hundreds of dollars 'she must have saved their escorts,*fiidt and last, by her ready and tactful hotpitality. It is less eaï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s to deceive a visitor os to a girl's scciad position than for the young man to throw a bluff as to hi** salaiy. He cannot call often upon he.' without knowing in what circle she moves. She may know him for years* without guessing at the amount ot his :' .- income.

It is odd to one on the outside of the orbit in which courtships are carried on to note how -soon tne economies, at which the enamored pair blush to hint before the wedding day, come into play afterward as topics of constant discussion^. There Js even poetry Jn the theme to some apprehensions when once the twain are made one. Theie is- humor in the situation to others. As for example: A big farewell dinner was given to a celebrated actress in New York last wintei. "I didn't see you there," remarked one * literal y man to another, next day. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½'Didn't you get a ticket?"* "Yes! accompanied by the informat'on that I might pay $10 a plate As I could not go without my wife, I stayed at home. >ly dear fellow, that $20 vould keep us -In dinners for a month."

When King George accepts she Crown, and ths homage of his subjects, he is also accepting a vast responsibility; the burden of the greatest of the great ones of the earth, will fall upon his shoulders, as the golden crown is placed upon his head, and tne solemn words of the hallowed ceremony, will sound in the ears, not as an empty ceremonial, but as A Charge to Keep. But this burden of responsibility, will be lightened by the knowledge, that in accepting same, the King has always he support ot his loyal subjects; King George is in every way aworthy heir of the great traditions of his fathers As a prince he visited every portion of his world wide empire, as a diplomat he served his apprenticeship with the great Edward, and in his domestic life he has shewn the possession of that love, of home life, which is the greatest of British virtues. We believe King George will be a King not only of empires, but of hearts, and that with Mary, his gracious Queen, he will add fresh lustre, to the crown that he will bear. God Save The King.

Tired and dusty, a party on a holiday trip were returning by > train. Simians, a little, bald man, seated himself down to read, but dropped off into a sleep. On the rack was a ferocious crab in a bucket, and as Simkins went to sleep the crab woke up, and finding things a bit dull in the bucket started exploring. , By careful navigation it got to the edge of the rack. Down if fell, alighting on Simkins shoulder, and it grabbed the man's ear to steady itself. The passengers held their breath, and waited for developments, but Simkins only shook his head and said : "Let go, Sarah; I tell you I have been at the office all the evening!"ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Ideas. There is a grand opening at Oreston for at least one working woman who will go out washing. She could make good money There. At present there is no white laundry and no one to go out or take in washing but chinamen and the large part of the population have a decided dislike to patronising the celestial washmen. A DUCKING.

Scientists for years have been agreed on this point but failed to get an anteseptio strong enough to kilt catarrh germs ani not 'destroy the tissues of the membrane at the same tunc, until the uiscev&y of Hyomei (pronouueed Kigh-o-me). Hyomei is the most powerful yet healing antiseptic known. Breathe it through the inhaler over the inflamed and germ-ridden membrane four or five times a day.and in a few days the germs will disappear. A complete Hyomei outfit, including the inhaler costs $1.00 and extra bottles, if afterwards needed, cost bus 50 cents. Obtainable 'from yonr druggist or postpaid from The R. T. Booth.

He was called a hermit, a miser and a poet. He bad inherited from bis father a high position at court. He was a chamberlain to bis majesty, and on account of tbe immense services rendered by tbe parent the emperor was supposed to regard the son with a great deal of affection. I cannot tell why, but I felt a singular antipathy for tbe prince without ever having set eyes on him.. His relations with the* Hnnees were those of friendly ucigbborlincss.

A report that has just been issued by Ihe British Charity Commissioners throws a light on the eccentricity thown in many wills that leave money to charities. Some testators give their executors the most perplexing tasks. One recent will, for instance, gave ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½25.000 into the hands of executors to distribute in the relief of suffering, with the curious qualification that nothing was to be given to hospitals, dispensaries, or medical societies, nor to ehurche* nor to religious charities. One wonders what channel* the puzzled executors will find for the money. But wills even more curjoiis ,V>qve been mad*1. Some years ago the Rev. Znchary Boyd died, childless, leaving behind him in manuscript a rhymed translation he had made of the Bible. In this translation the disciples, prophets, prophetesses, etc., are referred to as "ladies" and "gentlemen." In the will a sum of money Was left io a Scotch university on ' condition it had this translation printo.i and distributed among tha student*. The university did not see its way to accept. An interesting bequest was made ten years ago to a lady. Her husband instructed the trustees to pay her. as- long as she remained a widow, a slim of money every year equal to her weight in gold. A As she was Tather cf substantial build, this worked out each year to between eleven vand twelve hundred . ounces trdy. And gold is worth nearly four pounds, an ouneeV; ;.y . . . .Av. .Vy.AA.v'yy One might have expected the lady to diet, but she did not. The only security she took against anyV pobsi- bie loss in weight was to charge half - a-crdwh. admission to the' annual ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½weighinjr-in ceremony. Some testators show a grim humor. A Yorkshire farmer, who died to-: wards the end of last century. Mtv instruction^ that every lady of hi* acquaintance who cttendedy the funeral should receive three hundred pounds, and every gentleman two hundred. Four hundred invitations were to be sent but, and the funeral was to be at eight in the morning. It was winter, and the weather is not usually vfery pleasant at eight on a winter's morning, a fact which the dying man had counted on. (He had. of course, left instruction* that the will was not to be macle public til! after the funeral.) Out of the four hundred invited only nine turitiedup! The rest were soon sorry they had not been more energetic. A former Earl" of Stafford; left his wife in his will the sole sum of forty- five brass halfpennies.

The English edition, sumptuously bound and. illustrated, was published by the author as a memorial to his son,* Desire H. Girouard, a young man of the atmosl promise, who died shortly '.fter completing the translation of Ahe father's French version. It is, ^*ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½iys a .Montreal writer, rather a col- ' sction of pamphlets than a systematic work of history, for the labors jf the Bench did not allow the eminent justice to become al<*o a historian. In its preparation he ransacked th*" archives or the Dominion Go^- ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½iy-;iment and personally inspected <**ery building and landmark of im- j*ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½rtance on the Awestern half of the l ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½land of Montreal which bore evi- 6 ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½nce of having survived from g&meeT tim^s,* "and, moreover, he had .rai-'eptional facilities of access to the csrords of the ecclesiastical founda- *6wn. He may be said to have aug- rjwmted the work of Parkman. If the death of his son Desire was a .profound disappointment tov the lather who had justifiably cherished tke highest hopes of a giu^t career fa; him, the brilliant success of ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½* his other son, Edouard (now Sir Edouard Percy Cranwell Girouard) crowned his lat-jr years with complete happiness. Edouard had all the family adventurousness, and the Dominivin of Canida did not seem a large enough field for his ambitions when the Imperial British service called him. His name, is " now a household word in all parts of the Empire, and he is probably the'most widely-known of French-Canadians, with the sole exception of Sir, Wilfrid Laurier.

Mr. Fred. Mason, the well known upholsterer and mattress manufacturer _ of __St.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Andrews. N. B., says:ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ "I had eczema on niy knee, which caused me terrible pain and inconvenience. The sore parts would itch and burn and tingle ahd then when rubbed or scratched, would become very painful. I tried various remedies but got no better, so I decided to go to Montreal and take special treatment. I received treatment at the Montreal General Hospital for 13 weeks, but at the end of that time I was not cured, and almost gave in. A friend advised me to give Zam-Buk a trial, and although I had little hope of it doing me good, I took the advice. Almost as soon as applied Zam-Buk stopped the itching ^ and the irritation. I persevered' with the balm, and it was soon evident that it would do me good. Each day the pain was reduced, the sore spots began to heal, and by the time I had used a few boxes of Zam-Buk I was cured." For eczema, blood-poisoning, piles, ulcers, sores, abscesses, varicose ulcers, bad leg, sore feet, blisters, insect stings, poisoned, wounds, cuts, burns, bruises and all skin injuries and diseases, Zam-Buk is without equal. Zam-Buk Soap should also be used for washing all wounds, ecze- mous patches and sores.

Under the new tariff a lower scale of rates is provided for six, eight and nine pound packages, f Similarly, in the past, when the rate per hundred pound exceeded $2, say $2.10, the charges on small packages were based on the next "graduate"ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½of $2.50 per hundred pounds. Now a new graduate is made for $2.25 per hundred pounds, and so on for all rates up to $5.00 per hundred pounds. Previously, when a rate exceeded . $5 per hundred pounds the rates for small packages were based on the charge of $6 per hundred pounds. Now a new basis is made for ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ $5.25, $5,50 and $5,75 per hundred pounds j i.e., in place of the scale being made up of 50c. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Jiivnpg over $2 aiid up to $5, and* $1 for over, $5, the new the new tariffs provide rates for every 25o. advance. These changes will have the effect of reducing, the charges on the great bulk of small packages .from '5c, up to 35c. The majority of shipments by express are packages under 100 pounds and these charges will therefore effect the great bulk of shipments by express. The new express tariffs above rof erred, to, are in reality not so much new tariffs as schedules modifying slightly the existing tariffs. In the comprehensive judgment upon express rates issued by the Dominion railway oommispioh on December 24 last, it was ordered that within three months the oxprcss companies should nro- frnro tariffs based on an entire- y new principle, and submit them to tho commission for approval, That ordor of tho commission has not yot boon complied witHj presumably tho commission has granted tho express companies an oxtensian of the timo fixed in order of, December 24 last for companies with that ordor.
