Never so audacious a green as is there in that emooth water, and never so deep and dark a blue as that of the thunder-cloud above it. Off to the northwest lies the fishing fleet from Dieppe, two heavy steamers and a swarm of little sails, like two fat hens and their chicks. The fleet seemed as if picked out in royal colore, ebony, ivory, emerald and eaetern woods. It is a clean and jeweled vision, dainty and perfect. Yet I have been on fishing boats. They cannot be justly called dirty. The term is too mild. They invented dirtiness on fishing crafts. Ab my vaudeville friend tsays: \"They wrote it.\" And thero you have the truth about men and things. It's not what they are that matters; it's their relative position to you. Get a thing in the right prospective, the proper distance, and it is beautiful. (Did not Emerson say that somewhere?) So I Bhall not try to beautify the world; I will try to find my right view point. Gekmanv has about six million moro inhabitants than the white population of the entire British Empire, but we hold the top hand when it comes to dark skins. The Germans are a fine class of people, and will never go to war with tho Britons, unless it becomes absolutely necessary for them to do so, in order to get bread for their increasing millions. They will always have plenty of Limburger cheese, and there is no chance of a war upon its account.] Nearly all unmarried females over thirty years of age are crazy, and a few married ones occasionally have a missing wheel in their upper stope. This fact is borne out by the mad acts of the suffre- gettes in England. The proper sphere for a woman is to have a loving husband, and raise from six to ton babies. Any woman who will do that has no time to stand around dry good stores and shout for politicial equality. The real woman does not need a vote, as sho can influence her husband to vote as sho desires. Why does the bride wear a veil? It is because the veil is symbol of that which is the most beautiful, the most sacred and the most inspiring thing in life, which is mystery.' The sky would not be the wondrous spectacle it is if it did not often draw the curtain of cloud before its face, or sheath its splendor in robes of rain. Nude figures are all well enough in painting and sculpture, but daily life among nude people would be intolerable, for we could no more respect bare humanity than we could continue to worship a God made of stone and* set up in the street.

The fur value of a silver fox varies from about 8300 to about $2,500 according to the quality of the pelt, but tbe prices paid for foxes for brooding purposes far exceed fchif*. In 19.10, foxes wore sold for breedors at from $3,000 to $4,000 per pair, i.e., not far above their fur value. Iu 1911, prices rose to $5,000 a pair and about littering time, early in 1912, ono pair sold for $20,000. In tho latter part of 1912, old breeders were variously valued at from $1S,000 to $35,000 a pair. This remarkable rise in the prices has boen due to the keen demand for breeding stock by persons or companies wishing to establish themselves in the fox-ranching business. So keen i.s the demand for \"breeders\" that not a fox fit for breeding purposes is being slaughtered for its fur. Ultimately, the value of the silver fox must be determined by its fur value and not by the prices now being paid by breeders. It i.s plain, also, that, in the course of a few years, tlio numerous ranches in process of formation and which, at the present time, aro creating such a demand for breeding stock, will be producing pelts for the market. Tho resultant increase in supply is certain to lower the prices paid for skins of this kind in the fur markets. While their is undoubtedly a sound basis for building up a paying industry in fox farming, the public should weigh the matter very seriously before investing \"their money in companies whose capitalizations aro based on the remarkable high prices now prevailing for breeding stock. It should not-be overlooked that nearly all those who havo made large \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD fortunes in the business have done so by selling stock for breeding purposes, not for their pelt3. It is estimated that in October 1912. there were about SOO silver foxes in captivity in Canada, of which about fif-O were in Prince Edward Island. The principle points at which tho industry is carried on are around Alberton, Summerside, Charlottetown and Montague in Prince Edward Island; Quebec 'city in Quebec; Port Elgin in New Brunswick and Wyoming iu Ontario. Each pair of foxes produces one litter a year consisting of from ono to nine pups, and averaging about 3A- pups to a litter. They are sold for delivery in the first week in September and tho fur is at its best the last week in December. So high is the speculative fever running iu the industry that many of the unborn pups of 1913 have already been purchased and are partly paid for. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDM.

Keeping Secrets It is generally and flippantly re- inatkod that women can not keep secrets, but every woman knows deep down in her heart that sho holds dearly many secrets that no no one will over root out. It takes an intelligent woman to guard another's secret. But there are scores of women who hold secrets of vital importance to others without a t bought of the' magnitude of their importance. A man pays a woman a compliment when he confides his dearest secrets to her. It is human to sympathize, and generally a man tells his secrets for sympathy. Tbo women who can not be trusted, are the egotists, women who like to be entertaining, whose vanity compels them to add another wonder to any remarkable statement mado by any one in their presence. Such women aro a menace to .society. two are the constituent elenients of nature's health formula, upon which science itself has not been able to improve. Science may work a cure for ill-health, but the secret of health itself is the obedience of natural laws and the living of normal life. And since health is a bequest from the child to the man, tho health question primarily concerns childhood. The child who lives largely in the open, with exercises that fill tho lungs with fresh air, and who sleeps by a window that is not closed to keep health out, has greatest chance of sturdy life. Of all the modern calls back to the land, to simplicity, to nature, there is no one more rational than that which accepts as true and wise the gospel of sunshine and the open air. It becomes tho chief purpose of modern society to see to it that the children of today should be given the utmost chance to avail themselves of its truth and wisdom. Sunshine is better than serum, and a capital substitute for it. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDOttawa Citizen.

Cooke, superintendent of experimental farms for Brazil, has written for the February Dry- Farming aud Eural Homes the first published account of the dry- work which that country is just beginning for the development of 250,000 square miles of its largely idle territory. Dr. Cooke was formerly in charge of the dry-farm experiment work in Wyoming. He went to Brazil fourteen months ago, and that nation is said to be paying him 81,000 a month in gold for the purpose of learning how to do it. \"It is heartbreaking,\" says Dr. Cooke, \"to see what primitive methods are used to plant and cultivate.

For most of the German diplomatic corps seek their offices for the opportunity to meet and marry rich American girls, or they are married to rich American women whoso ambition aud money obtain for their husbands diplomatic positions. That such women can not keep secrets can well be imagined, for they are light minded, as a rule, and are faithful to no country or family. Nature demands faithfulness to one's native land, marriage demands faithfulness to .one's husband; the combination is difficult and the beauty of peaceful happiness must be unknown. A German woman, married to an American diplomat, would suffer in just the same way; she surely would be true to her fatherland. It's human nature to love your own country more when in a foreign land than you do at home. Do we not see it every day from the invaders who with smiles insult us. *'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'* *\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\".\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD;\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Tho keeping of a secret is neither a masculine nor a feminine trait, and I venture to say that a valuable secret is safer in the keeping of a good woman than in the keeping of a good man.

These little houses, or nodules, grow into great hives until soon they are as large as walnuts on the roots of the plants. Their function? are peculiar and wonderfully interesting as well as profitable. The air, as yon know, is four- fifths nitrogen. Nitrogen is the most expensive fertilizer that you buy aud it is positively essential to plant life. Now these little entities suck air into the earth and erate the soil. It is just as necessary for a plant to have air as it is for an animal to breathe it. They therefore do the splendid service of bringing the air into the soil, and in bringing it in they digest tho nitrogen that is in the air and convert it into mineral nitrates and are soluble in water and immediately available for plant food. It is estimated that under favorable conditions where an acre of land is well inoculated the bacteria will bring $20 worth of nitrogen to the acre within the year; that is, it would cost $20 and more to buy and put upon the land the nitrogen that these little entities have drawn from the atmosphere into the soil. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDCol.

You can't beat them tropical islands for cold, sparkling springs of pure water. \"The outermost one of the Weary Islands Is a tiny little one that is separated from the others by forty miles or so. We was nearest thnt island, which wasn't much more than a coral reef covered with sand and with trees growing on It and springs of water from somewhere down below. Captain Fish said It was nn old island and had been much bigger, only an r-nrth- quake nnd swallowed most of It Into the water, and what -was left of it wasn't enough to support human ex Istence. all of which I didn't believe n mite of. \"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDAnanias.' says the captain to me.

But the Indus was lying behind him, and he didn't see her at first. \"When he did he gave vent to one whoop and came down the tree and made for the Indus, where the men were going back and forth carrying water on board without so much as looking to see what had become of me. 1 expect any one of 'em would have been glad if I'd never gone back, for some oue would have liked my.' berth. \"Well, sir, that man-monkey went down to the boat and persuaded the sailors to take him out to the Indus, and Jabez, would you believe it when I tell you that Captain Barnabas Fist- took that heathen savage monkey man on board the Indus and put him in the crew and made a man of him?

P. Revesbech and Wm. Tuttle constitute the active head. Mr. H.

Then when the company took over the business, they tore out the whole face of gravel with giants. Starting on a ninety-foot face they washed out about 300 feet of the channel, and when they quit had a face about 125 feet high. It is estimated that they took ont about 8100,000. \"That the system they used was not more successful was due to the fact that the ilnmo was not properly constructed. Under their system they never got more than four weeks of an uninterrupted run, where they should been able to tear things loose for six months straight every year. Then, too, they only got 750 inches of water through the flume, where they should have had at least 1,500 inches. \"In the winter time the flume was allowed to break loose, and it cost at least $20,000 iu the spring to repair it. \"The present owners will overcome these difficulties. We have already done enough work to prove that there aro two pay streaks on tho ground, ono on bed rock. Our plan is to drift on these pay streaks. \"Wc will build a new flume taking water from Lome creek, and clean np the bed rock and clay streak. This is our progam for next summer The old-timers depended on tho spring froshets for water, but wo will obtain a uniform and continual supply from Lome creek, by spending about $3,000 on flumes. \"We will drive a double track tunnel, and work tho whole season drifting and hauling the gravel out in ears, piling it up in tho winter, aud washing in the spring and summer months. Wo can get on Lome Creek a vegnlar 'California season,' of six months sluicing. \"We have already driven our tuunol about 300 feet, and havo pretty well demonstrated the course and' width, of the pay streaks as well as proving the value of the bed rock gold deposits. The gold is coarse, and while an exact average cannot yet be given, we are satisfied that the gravel we are taking out will go between ten and fifteen cents to the pan, and there are about 150 pans to the yard. We are following an old channel with our drift, and while we are undoubtedly leaving some gold above us,' we are also escaping the cost of handling a mass of gravel anywhere from 175 to 400 feet in depth. The greatest values in gold such as we are extracting, are naturally on bed rock, and this is what we are saving. \"Our preliminary operations in preparing for systematic work, was principally panning, and we had a great amount of dead work to do in cleaning up the old workings. The largest nugget I have noticed up to the present time weighed. $4.50. We can figure on sluicing from May 1 till November l.\" Lorne creek is a branch of the Skeena, and comes in 129 miles from Prince Rupert and about fifty miles below Hazelton. The Carpenter brothers are experienced placer and quartz miners, their specialty being, iu the latter form of mining, the development of free gold leads.

Mr. C. F.

At the Hotel Vancouver today ho stated that development work had been very satisfactory since his last visit. The output at South Wellington has been increased from 250 to 000 tons a day in less than six months, owing to the vigorous policy adopted by Mi\" John H. Tonkon, general manager, who formely held a similar position with the Crows Nest Pbss Coal Company. Under tho terms of a contract 7,000 tons are being supplied to the C. P. R. monthly. The new shafts are now being sunk between the old South Wellington mine and the company's docks at Beit Harbor, a distance of seven miles. They have attaiued a depth of GOO feet, and it is expected that the coal will be encountered shortly. Mr. Hill says the production will ere long be brought; up to a total of 1,500 tons daily. At Suquash the development will permit of a daily output of 500 tons. The company i.s arranging to install a plant and start shipping shortly. It is controlled by Montreal capital, and owns 20,000 acres of coal lands on Vancouver Island.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDVancouver Province.

The Waterloo, under tho management of Denni3 Clark, produced about $40,000 in gold. The mine has been idle for several years, however, as it was discovered that tho vein dipped into into the Fontenoy property. The mines are equipped with a ten-stamp mill aud adequate hoisting machinery, costing about $10,- 000 which are driven by water power. A three mile flume has recently been constructed. There are about 500 tons of ore on the dump ready for treatment, and the new owners intend to start work as soon as possible. It will require from three to four weeks to put the machinery in shape and to pump the water out of the mine. A large number of men will be employed so as to push the development as rapidly as possible under the personal direction of Mr. Moak. The reviving of this one time famous boundary camp will be watched with a great deal of real interest and many of tho old timers still hold that McKinney has tlie making of a fine producer of gold.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDOroville Gazette.

DEWDNEY Registrar of voters for the Greenwood Electoral District. in Terre Haute, Indiana. Development work was continued with a slightly increased force, and it is now reported that a vein of silver- lead ore, twenty-seven feet wide and of paying value, has been cut. It is also reported that the ore body has already been proved to bo very extensive. The camp is almost, equidistant from Hope, Merritt and Princeton, but both present and prospective transportation facilities aro all in favor of Hope as the base of supplies and port of shipment, and Hope is much nearer to Vancouver than either Merritt or Princeton is to any other large city from which supplies and equipment can be brought. It is also announced, presumably with the owner's authority, that they intend to go ahead with mining, work on a large scale so that they will have a large tonnage waiting for tbe first branch that connects them to any railway system that will give access to smelters. The name of \"Patsy\" Clark of Spokane, is mentioned in connection with the enterprise. Mr. Clark is one of the most cautious and most successful mining operators in the North-West, and if it be true that he is associated with it, thero need be no doubt that the mineral has been found. Apart from the Sky-Line group there are four or five other properties on which considerable money has been spent and with promising results. The prospect of early transportation cannot fail to stimulate activity in these aud give Now Leadville immediate standing as a mining camp. Many old-timers are skeptical of the Coquihalla Valley, but if the news from Spokane prove correct thero will be no place left for unbelief.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDWest Yale Keview.
