It is substantial in every respect and has all the ante-room, lavatones.etc, that a building of its purposes should possess and is certainly a credit to its promoters and the miners in general. It will cost when completed, about $10,000. .,' A sad accident occurred at the Ivanhoe on Monday; by which Wm.'Bryant I the foreman, lost his life. The accident was.acavc in of a large mass of earth under which the deceased was held for some time. He was but 24 years of age and was an industrious and capable young man.

A shipment of ore from the Speculator at Slocan gave 1100 ozs. of Bilver. Crawford Creek is attracting the attention of mining men these times. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ The Whitewater mine shipped 328 tons of ore for the week ending November 29th.

This makes about 220,000 shares ot this stock that he has purchased on his own account. It is evident that his confidence in the company has not suf- I fered from his recent inspection of the mines." It is understood that the Ottawa property, adjoining the Tamarac on Springer creek, will ship a quantity of ore during the winter. The owners, Thomas Mul- vey and John McKinnon, are working the-proposition and have quite shipping of ore in sight at present. Their vein is similar to that of the Arlington, carrying leaf silver.and it is expected that the Ottawa shipments wili make somewhat of a sensation. The Tamarac will make several shipments during the winter. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½' ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ The Methodist church services and and Sabbath school will be held in the Miners'Union hall next Sunday.. be C. Everything that was gay and beautiful in banilon and several townships around appeared at the Miners' Union ball on_ Thursday evening. The hall was testily arranged, the new scenery setting it out in excellent form. The attendance was large, the supper one of the best ever served in the city, the arrangements faultless, and the management first class. All connected with the arrangements have every right to congratulate themselves on their success.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING. To clean carpeta, dissolve one ounce and a half of alum in ono quart of warm water, and; one ounce and a half, of Fuller's earth in another quart of warm water. Put a little of each in a bucketful of salt- watorl -adding a little oxgall, and rubbing in some common brown soap. Then wash the carpels little by little with this '-'mixture till rather wet, rubbing it well with a coarse cloth. The carpet will appear as fresh and bright as new. To clean decanters put the tea leaves from tho teapot into the decanters overnight with a'little'cold water. In. the morning shake them well until quite clean. Then rinse and polish,. Some use small pieces of paper cut up and put in the bottle with some water. Salt will remove stains left by lime. For blackheads bathe the faco at night with vary hot water, drying ' it with a soft towel, and then rub in very gently some cold cream, perfumed or not. In the morning wash your face well with hot water and soap, and then give it .a bath in tepid . water, so that all the soapsuds may be removed, finishing off with1 cold water. If the water is very (hard a tiny bit of soda, not larger than a pea, added will maio tho vegetables cooked in it tenderer and of better color. Ordinary water does not require such addition. The best way to wash' bedsteads is to thoroug-hly sponge all parts of the bedstead with hot water in which a little alum h.is been dissolved. If clothes are soaked over night, one teaspoonful of pure ammonia in each tub of water will materially lesson the labor of washing. A simple and good disinfectant to pour down a sink is a small quantity of charcoal mixed with' water. A small piece' of charcoal placed with boiling cabbage will absorb the disagreeable odor. eyes they arc. But I frankly confess that, personally,11 don't like it." CHIL- VALUE OF PUMICE STONE. It may- not- bo apparent to all housewives, but pumice stone is really an indispensable requisite for the, kitchen table. There is nothing better to remove burn from granite pans and kettles. Obstinate rust upon steel knives will also vanish if it is vigorously applied. A NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC FAD. There are fade in photography, just as in everything else. When the Trilby craze was on a lot of irresponsible girls insisted upon having their feet photographed.- 'A shapely hand, holding a flower, also had a certain vogue for awhile. Now women are coming to have pictures of their eyes taken. Perhaps this is not so absurd as it seems at first thought, for tho eye is usually the most expressive feature of the human face. Tho camera is placed very close to the sitter, and io focused so that the features are . much motrei.prominent than in the ordinary photograph'. When the pictures are mounted all ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½; but the strip across -tb.e.: eyes is cut away, showing the eyes and. the bridge of the nose, "I can't say that the effect, is very, artistic," said a photographer, yesterday, " but the women who have their eyes photographed, all seem pleased with the result. They claim that their friends when shown the pic- *ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ V ture, are able to tell at once wh'o^o OUTDOOR' LIFE FOR , THE .ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ . "DREN. " When the little one is sent out for an airing, do not dress him up clean and then put him in charge of an older person, with the injunction to see that he does not soil his clothes.

Varnished wall paper, has many advantages, and especially in a dirty, smoky town, for it can be washed with soap and water and bo perfectly'clean without any expense For halls,* bathrooms and children's rooms varnished paper or painted walls are thing, or being molested themselves, they can exercise a child's natural instinct to d:g in the ground! * And, of course, tins plea is not alone for the very younor ones, but for the older ones as well.' Give all the children the- privilege of happy, unrestricted play on the .earth and in it. And there is the'sand pile, with its possibilities in Lhe way of amusement and education as well! " We learn by doing," and the pile of sand where the little workers build and burrow, construct forts and mountains,' and dig wells and caves v bile, engaging the faculties in healthful play, is an educational factor not to be lightly esteemed. In the winter'time let tho older ones play in the dry snow whenever possible. PLENTY OF AIR. The cellar,' like the living rooms,'1 ought, if possible, to have a good supply ' of air, light and sunshine, the morning sun being preferable, and all its oompartments Should be easy of access, both from the outside and from tho kitchen stairway. But tho orio thing to bo remembered, first, last, .and all time, <is that every part of it must bo kept clean; no mold, no soured fruits or other spoiled victuals, no stagnant water, nothing that ean possibly creato a bad 'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½odor or in any way contaminate the air. Even tho dust and' cobwebs ought to be pretty .carefully looked after. Of course there must bo no roaches, no mice, and if possible no flies; all these pest3 give least trouble when there is nothing', lying around to feed them; but if they do put in an appearance, the best way. 1 After a case of infectious illness in a houso where expenses have Lo be' considered, one fully appreciates a varnished room. The walls once washed with proper disinfectants, the great expense of repapering is saved. The first outlay in this treatment of tho walls is decidedly heavy, but it. yields excellent interest, A PRETTY CHAIR CUSHION. To make a dainty chair cushion, take any pretty piece ot flannel orr bxoadclothi and back of it put a layer of wadding, and a foundation of denim or heavy musliu. <ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½'Quilt these together-in diamonds with any. pretty shade of embroidery silk, or several colors may be used. Line the cushion with light-colored sateen, and put ruffles of tho sateen, one over lapping tho other, and the lower twice as ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ wide as the. upper, between the flannel and lining,' Stitch three times around with embroidery silk and fill with any desired ma-" texial. CHARLES DICKENS' PRESENT. I Charles Dickens was always very, fond, of children. One day he was walking! in tho neighborhood of Gad's bill, not long after he had acquired hia property there, when he suddenly ran into a little girl wheeling a doll's perambulntor. In an instant the tiny, vehicle upset, the dolls being thrown out. . It was a bad.accident.as far as they were concerned, for wax heads and limbs aro hot calculated to otandsmuohi hard, usage. The little maid burst into tears, and, much to the novelist's sorrow, refused to be comforted. "Then como homo with me," Dickens whispered/soothingly, "and we'll see if wo can't find some grand waxen lady in'silks and'satins for you." ' So back to the big house the two went, and sure enough, up in his children's nursery he managed to discover a few prettily dressed dolls. With! these safely tucked in her perambula. tor ,the little girl trotted off. (But it is in! the sequel that the best part of tho story lies. The child's heart was set on making some return for this kLnduess, so her parents, who had not the faintest suspicion of her friend's personality, took her toi town to choose something. Her choice foil' eventually upon a ' gorgeously bou'nd book, ' When Dickens the next day undid the parcel his small visitor brought him he was surprise'd and delighted to see a copy of "David Copperfield." , Not u'ntil many years'later, when th'ey met again in society, did the little girl learn who tho "kind gentleman" TEACHING Tlltl LITTLE ONES. It is wonderful how much knowledge ca,n bo imparted to small children by a quick,nursemaid, who has an inkling of the kindergarten system. Children are never tired of asking questions, and if. these are intelligently answered they pick up all sorts of useful knowledge without any actual teaching. .The object of the kindergarten system is Lo teach the IRtlo ones to think for' themselves, and it is worth every mother's and nurse's while to leiifh something of it. The custom of talking nonsense to them and distorting words cannot be Loo much condemned. A Terribly Painful Case of Burning, Torturing Eczema, Which Was Thoroughly Cured by Using Dr. Chase's Ointment. The torture which is caused intense itching and burning tions of eczema makes it'one , most distressing of ailments, the. presence'of the raw flesh, by Lhe sensa- of tho while which refuses" Lo heal under ordinary .treatment, adds to the-misery of the sufferer. ; ' The following case is reported as one. which illustrates the'extraordi- nary control which Dr. Chase's Ointment 'has over eczema, both as a prompt relief for the dreadful itching sinU'as an antiseptic healer, which speedily and certainly brings about a thorough-cure. . . In vain were all sorts -ofï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½medicines and ointments, used and doctors appeared to be helpless before the dreadful ravages which tho flaming fires of. eczema .were making. Here is the way Mrs.! Knight describes .this ' interest! nk case': ...ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½'.' Mrs; Knight, 17 Hanover Place, Toronto ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½", states: "My mother, Mrs Wright, of Norval, suffered for a summer and winter with eczema on her foot. She could neither walk nor sleep, and it became so bad that she was perfectly raw from her toes to her knees. After trying every available remedy without success, and almost hopeless of relief, she began' using .Dr. Chase's Ointment. ,. She has altogether used .eight ;or nine boxes, with the h'a'ppy result that she is How completely cured. Anyone wishing further particulars can communicate with Mrs. Wright, Norval, Ont. After such a grand success, is iL any wonder that, we fecommeiid Dr. Chase's Ointment?'.' It', is just such) tests as this one that' have convinced physicians' of the truly wonderful power of Dr. Chase's Ointment. ' If you t e a sufferer, with any itching skin disease, or have a sore that will not heal, make' a, teat' for yourself. You will certainly become an enthusiastic adihirer of Dr. Dr. Chase's Ointment, just as is everyone who knows its merits. Besides curing the most.severe forms of itching skin diseases, Dr. Chase's Ointment is delightfully healing and soothing in all'cases of chafing,'skin irritations^ sore feet, prickly heat, pimples .. and blackheads.

The combination of 'red and white lead with boiled linseed oil and litharge makes a good cernent for joining stones of any size. It.should ibe used by dressing a strip of thin cloth on each side and placing .this beLween the parts to ba joined, .i The stone, should bo warmed, if possible. This ' cement will resist boiling water. As to' proportions, there is no regular formula. To dry' quickly, red lead should bo used in greater proportions. If thero is no hurry, white lead' should bo used in excess'.* 1 prefer the white lead when ample time can be given for drying. . Equal parts of oil and litharge may be used. Another Formulaï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Seven or eight parts of resin and one of ..beeswax, melted together, and mixed with a small ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ quantity of plasLor of paris, is" a good cemenL Lo uniLe pieces of stone. The stone should bo made' hot enough to melt the cement, and tho pieces should be pressed together as closely as possible, so as Lo leave as little as may be of Lhe cement between: them. This is a general rule in cementing, as tho thinner tho strata of cement- interposed, the firmer it will hold. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ FATHER'S ESSAY WRITING.

Mr. Sifton and his friends never tire of talking of Mr. Sifton's "glorious triumph," in Brandon; but tht-y arc ever careful to conceal the methods by which the triumph was won. The facts are now, however, coming to light. Frank Taylor, Joseph Carton, Henry Pcallion. and" Arch. Stewart have been arrested for crookedness, and the follow- " ing appears as a report of the police court in Brandon: Carson being called the chief of police : narrated how Frank Taylor had been arrested, and how he went with Taylor ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ the Liberal committee room to indentify ,<ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ the man who had given him a certain voting ticket, but did not find him in the . rooms, but when outside Taylor pointed out Carson and had him arretted. Frank Taylor, of Dauphin, upon first being interrogated insolently refused to state where he came from and how old he was, but afterwards did so to the Magistrate. lie said lie did not know Carson, .nor could he say when he met him. An enquiry into Taylor's antecedents with difficulty brought out that he had been in the Portage police court on the charge of rape, and though he claimed to be a baker he would not name his employers, and admitted that his name was not on the Brandon list. 'He admitted getting a ballot in the name of Thomas Sheriff and' gave it to the D. K. 0. and explained that though he was sworn at the tihic lie did not reflect upon what he was doing. Joseph Qn inn'.was called as a witness and recognized Taylor as voting in Sherirf's.name at poll 16, and knew he was not the man claimed to be. Chief Kirkcaldy deposed as the manner of the arrest, and that Taylor had told him he had voted three times. Mr. Mathasori drew attention to the fact that prisoner was a felf-confessed perjurer and asked ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½for highee bail upon which it was fixed at two securities of $1,000. Mr. T. D. M. Osborne called as witness deposed as the manener of the arrest of Taylor after he had voted as Sheriff, and Mr. Cameron cross-examined.' Archie Stewart was charged upon evidence of Rev. A. II. Cameron to have asked for a ballot under the name of John Flynn, and voted. Mr. D. Monroe testified that Stewart voted as'Flynn whom he knew and .Stewart was not the man. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ . II. Scallion, Winnipeg, was charged with personating. Rev. Mr. Cameron deposed that the accused came to vote under the name of Matthew Brandon and he ask ed that Scallien be sworn, but he refused the oath and so the ballot was refused. Mr. Chas. Gardner corroborated this evidence and the court adjourned till Monday, but in consequence of the assizes tlie cases were remanded. Mr. Carson is out on bail, but the . other prisoners not having money to pay for their meals or tobacco, were removed from the lock-up to Brandon jail on Tuesday. Here is absolute proof Mr. Sifton's friends hired outsiders to come in and vote for absentees, even at the risk of perjury, if necessary; and if the whole truth was known, possibly with the knowledge and consent of Mr. Sifton himself. A pretence is made at passing rigid legislation to secure honest elections, and the law makers themselves in turn wink at the wholesale violation of that legislation when they have personal ends to serve. This would be less matter in this particular instance if Mr. Sifton did not pose as the apostle of purity itself, and if his friends did not hold him up as a model of all that pure and good in the inake-up of mortal man. These are the things that sicken many of Canadian politics, and are driving many good men to care but little who may be elected in general elections. It is quite possible that for leaving the Provincial House so soon, Hugh John would have been beaten .in any event, but in a fair contest, it would have been by a very much reduced majority. POLITICAL QUIBBLING. How politicians will wiggle and' quibble when before the electors was fully illustrated by Mr. Galliher's utterances as to the tariff at the meeting here on Tuesday evening. He says the Liberal declaration always was for "a,, tariff 'for revenue only." Now, all readers of even the Grit press know full well Mr. Laurier has often said the goal was "Free Trade as they had it in England," "Unrestricted Reciprocity," and all such nostrums. It is'well known Mr. Blake refused to further co-operate with the Liberals of Canada,' because free trade was their declared aiin, and he knew it was impossible. ' He declared so in his now celebrated address to the electors of West Durham. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ In the face of all this Mr. Galliher said his part}' .never declared for more than' "ii.tarifflo'r revenue only." But even in this he is as far from the truth as it is possible; as the present tariffis in truth higher than that of the National policy. Import from the States to-day a similar suit of clothes to the one you imported in 1895, from boots to cap, and you will , pay more duties now than then. Go farming and import an outfit of agricultural implements and you' will also iind a higher duty. Import from any paper manufacturers you like and you., will' pay 35 per cent, all around. But win- go outside for the absolute proof Mr. Galliher's statement was positively un- ttue when you have the proof in the published records1 of the government themselves. e,Last year they say they had'in the neighborhood of five millions of a surplusï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½all this is taxation in excess of the demands of the country. A tariff for revenue raises the actual requirements of the country only., Last year they raised, according to their own reports, nearly five millions in excess of thatï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½they actually, needlessly wrung five millions from the pockets "of the people, or .-flO from every family of ten. and yet they have a revenue tariff! As a matter of fact every dollar raised by the customs houses is so much protection to home producers, then when excessive revenues,or surplusses as they are called, are raised it is exeessive taxation, the very thing for which thej so long and so loudly blamed the Tories. The Grit party may talk of the success of their policy because of their return to ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ office on the 7th ult; but this is not the Oxford Stoves are the Best Heaters.

The entire Dominion outside of Quebec gave an adverse majority. By carrolling the entire French vote of Quebec by Tarte's disloyalty cries, with the apparent approval of Laurier, they carried all but eight seats in that province. This is vhat has given them a renewed lease of ofliceï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½this and this alone, and no hedging and dodging can conceal the facts.., If the Liberals are proud of their cause of success no , one should envy them in a monopoly of the pleasure. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Messrs. Galliher and McKane, two of the aspirants for the representation of this constituency, held a meeting here on Tuesday evening and had a fair audience. After about ten minutes four cornered jangle between the candidates, and Mayor Pitts and Mr. Grimmett as to how the meeting should be conducted, Mr. Grimmett took the chair, and McKane spoke first, Galliher closing. McKane is an Aggressive, humorous speaker, while his opponent, is smoother, and of a true lawyer type. As there was little enthusiasm throughout it is hard to tell which had the majority at the meeting. J. W. BALMAIN, Civil Engineer, Architect, Etc. ' P. O. Box 171). SANDON, BRITISH COLUMBIA. W.8.

I was appointed by the mee'- inn to a6k you if this statement was true. McKane denounces the same as false and dastardly. Answer imined- iatelv. II. II. Pitts. Rossland, November 28.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½To H. H. Pitts, Sandon:, I have no personal knowledge, as I was not in British Columbia for months before and not until months after the local election. I am imfonned that McKane was also away. The telegram is somewhat indistinct, in meaning as received. If it refers to McKane being chief henchman here', I am informed by creditable per- pons that lie, the henchman fought hard for Mackintosh and had ample funds at his disposal for election purposes.

Mr. Sifton and his friends never tire . of talking of Mr. Sifton's "glorious triumph," in Brandon; but they arc ever careful.to conceal the methods by which the triumph was won. The facts are now, however, coming to light. 'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½, Frank Taylor, Joseph Carson, Henry Scallion and Arch. Stewart have been arrested for crookedness, and the following appears as a report of the police court in Brandon: Carson being called the chief of police narrated how Frank Taylor had been arrested, and how he went with Taylor the Liberal committee room toindentify the man who had , given him a certain voting ticket, but did not find him in the rooms, but when outside Taylor pointed out Carson and had him arrested. Frank Taylor, of Dauphin, upon first being interrogated insolently refused to state where he came from and how old he .was, but afterwards did so to the Magistrate. He said he did not know ' Carson, .hor could ho say when he met him. An enquiry into Taylor's antecedents witli difficulty brought out that he had been in the Portage police court on the charge of rape, and though he claimed to be a "baker he would not name his employers, and admitted that his name was hot on the Brandon list. He admitted getting a ballot in tho name of Thomas Sherid'and gave it to the D. R. 0. and explained that though he was sworn at the time he did not reflect upon what he was doing. Joseph Quinn was called as a witness and recognized Taylor as voting in 'Sheriff's'name at'poll 16, and knew.he was not the man, claimed to,he. Chief Kirkcaldy deposed as the manner of the arrestj and that Taylor had told him he had voted three times. Mr. Matheson drew attention to thei fact that prisoner was a felf-confessed perjurer and asked for highee bail upon which it was fixed at two securities of $1,000. Mr. T. D. M. Osborne called as witness deposed as the manener of the arrest of Taylor after he had voted as Sheriff, and Mr. Cameron cross-examined. Archie Stewart wa. charged upon evidence of Rev. A. H. Cameron to have asked for a ballot' under the name of John Flynn, and voted. Mr. D. Monroe testified that Stewart voted as'Flynn whom he knew and Stewart, was not .the man. ' ; H. Scallion, "Winnipeg, was charged with personating. Rev; Mr. Cameron deposed that the accused came to vote under the name' of Matthew Brandon and he asked that-Scallion be, sworn, but he refused the oath and so the ballot was refused. Mr.' Chas. Gardner corroborated this evidence and the court adjourned till Monday, but in consequence of the assizes the'cases were remanded. Mr. Carson is out on hail, hut the other prisoners not having money to pay for their meals or tobacco, were removed from the lock-up to Brandon jail on Tuesday. 0 -.'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Here is absolute proof Mr. Sifton's friends hired outsiders to come in and vote for absentees, even at the risk of perjury, if necessary; and if the whole truth was known, possibly with the knowledge and consent of Mr. Sifton himself. A pretence is made at passing rigid legislation to secure honest elections, and the law makers themselves in turn wink at the wholesale violation of that legislation when they have personal ends to serve. This would he less matter in this particular instance if Mr. Sifton did not po.se as the apostle of purity itself, and if his friends did not hold him up as a model of all that pure and good in the inake-up of mortal man. These are the things that sicken many of Canadian politics, and are driving many good men to care but little who may be elected in general elections. It is quite possible that for leaving the Provincial House so soon, Hugh John would have been beaten in any event, but in a fair contest, it would have been by a very much reduced majority. POLITICAL QUIBBLING. How politicians will wiggle and quibble when-before the electors was fully illustrated by Mr. Galliher's utterances as to the tariff at the meeting here on Tuesday evening. He says the Liberal declaration always was for "a tariff for revenue only." Now, all readers of even the Grit press know full well Mr. Laurier has often said the goal was "Free Trade as they had it in England," "Unrestricted Reciprocity," and all such nostrums. It is well known Mr. Blake refused to further co-operate with the Liberals of Canada, because free trade was their declared aim* and he knew it was impossible. He declared so in ' his now celebrated address to the electors.of West Durham. In the face of all this Mr. Galliher said his party never declared for more than "a tarifl'for revenue only." But even in this he. is as far from tlio truth as it is possible; as'.,',the presenttarifl'is in truth higher than that of the National policy. Import from'''the States to-day a similar suit of clothes to the one you imported in 1895, from boots to cap, and you will pay more duties now than then. Go farming and import an outfit of agricultural implements and you will' also find a higher duty. Import from any paper manufacturers you like and you will pay 35 percent, all around. But .why- go outside for the absolute proof Mr. Galliher's statement was positively untrue when you have tbe proof in the published records of the government themselves.' Last year they say they had in the i.eighborhood of five millions of a surplusï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½all this is taxation in tex- cess of the demands of the country. K. tariff for revenue raises the actual requirements of the country only. Last year they raised, according to their own reports, nearly five millions in excess of thatï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½they actually, needlessly wrung five millions from the pockets .of tlie people, or $10 from every family of ten. and yet they have a revenue tariff! As a matter of fact every dollar raised by the customs houses is so much protection to home producers, then when excessive reyenuesjor surplusses as they are called, are raised it is exeessive taxation, the very thing for which the) so long and so loudly blamed the Tories. ; The Grit party may talk of the success of their policy because of their, return to office oh the 7th ult; but this is not the CONS U MPT ION begins and leaves off in thous- O v ands of people, who never suspect it. It isn't much more than a pimpleï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½indeed, it is a a pimpleï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½lung pimple. Health, all round it, stops itï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½just as a skin pimple gets stopped. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ : How to get that health all round it: take Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil and be careful We'll send you a little to try if you like.

The entire Dominion outside of .Quehec gave an adverse majority. By carrolling the entire French vote of Quebec by Tarte's disloyalty cries, with the apparent approval of Laurier, they carried.all hut eight seats in that province. This is vhat has given them a renewed lease of officeï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½this and this alone, and no hedging and dodging can conceal the facts. If the Liberals are proud of their cause of success no one should envy them in a monopoly of the pleasure. Messrs. Galliher and McKane, two of the aspirants for the representation of this constituency, held a meeting here on Tuefday evening and had a fair audience. After about ten minutes four cornered jangle between the candidates, and Mayor Pitts and ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Mr. Grimmett as to how the meeting should be conducted, Mr. Grimmett took the chair, and McKane spoke first, Galliher closing. McKane is an ng;ressive, humorous speaker, while his opponent is smoother, and of a true lawyer type. As there was little enthusiasm throughout it is hard to tell which had the majority at the meeting. > . ' ' J. W. BALMAIN, Civil Engineer, Architect, Etc. P.O. Box 170. SANDON, BRITISH COLUMBIA. W.

Realizing, however, the tremendous an<l| arbitrary power that could be wielded by a single individual in such I a position, it was'also decided that the ( office should only be held one year andjthat.no person should be allowed to keepi it for Jmoro than a single term. - So it was announced that the 'Government was prepared ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ to accept bids for the privilege. Since that Lime the selection of an "opium farmer,"; as he is called, has become an annual event.

Flower girls bearing sweet blossoms of the lichee enter and twine garlands across the tables, among chair backs, about the enormous amount of trouble and the :,large force of officers that would otherwise be necessary.. The opium farmer's salaried men watch all incoming-boats, and as it is ' a case, of Chinaman against Chinaman very little, of the raw material gets past him.. iAt'the end of his term of office he gives a great dinner to Government officials, -newspaper men and the leading Chinese merchants of the colony. This dinner is one of the three great events of the Hong Kong year.' The other two are the polo, championship games and the sham battle between the. troops iu the garrison. As a mat- [ ter of fact, though natural jn-ide keeps ] them from openly acknowledging it, the white people of Hong Kong look on this unique dinner as by far the most interesting affair in the social calendar. ' ' ' ,, When a Chinaman makes up his mind to do a thing handsomely he generally goes to the limit. The opium farmer always makes his dinner, which is a sort of farewell to his brief reign of Czar of the opium smokers, something to be remembered by his white friends. Indeed; ho lays aside a large sum of money, from 520,000 to $25,000, for the banquet, aud always reckons it as a legitimate item of expenso when ho figures up his bid to the Government' at -the beginning of tho year. A :veek before the close of hia term of office the farmer nseds out his invitations. These are always verbal, 'delivered! to tho lucky recipient by a j flags and in the long lines of lanterns. The tables are rapidly spread with food and a strange mixture of Oriental and-Occidental dishes it is. In addition* to roast beef, ham, chicken, turkey and mutton, are dozens of Chinese delicacies, , curries of every kind, sharks firis, jellied eggs, pickled fish, baked hedge-boar, spitted rice birds, drawn pelican meat, preserves of all sorts . mangoose, mangostiries, paradise fruit and dozens of wonderful Chinese puddings. There 'is no menu card and no sequence of courses. You just pick out .what you like and tackle it, irrespective of what your neighbor is eating and regardless of whether you begin with dessert or end with soup. The dishes in which these,foods are served are the most, magnificent and costly samples of Chinese ware and are intended as gifts for the guests. When the dinner is over you can select what you please among them. If you go away early enough you are generally wise enough to do this. If you stay til! things begin to get warm you are apt to forget all about such a prosaic thing as dishes. . When midnight comes and the host, the Governor and the Chief Justice havo discreetly retired, the singing, jubilating and toasting begin in earnest.

It is, perhaps ,not generally known that Baden-Powell, who has greatly, distinguished himself in the Transvaal war, is not,only a soldior of unquestionable ability but a scientist whose meteorological investigations have been stamped.,with the official approval of England's war ministry. It was,through his influence that the army abandoned; the cumbrous military balloon and adoi^tod in its stead the more easily controlled and more simply constructed kite. As a result of tho experiments made by the major-general In collaboration with! his brother officers, it was asserted that ii man could bo lifted several hundred feet in the air , without the slightest danger and. without the aid of any gas receptacle. An apparatus strong enough to lift two men weighs hardly more than 100 pounds. Kites can bo assembled and sent into the aifiin five minutes. Their descent can be regulated by a parachute. Tho cost is hardly a fiftieth part of that of a balloon ascension. Eade^Powoll began his experiments in 1803. If he "has not magnified tho importance of the results which he has obtained, it isnot too much to hope that, before tho Transvaal war has seen its close, the utility of the kite as ano instrument in modern warfare ..will be assured. If the truth must betold, it is difficult to imagine a man suspended 2,000 feet above the ground from a machine which, is theplay- thing of the winds, and which is only too ready to plunge,down at any moment. But it is still more difficult to imagine this same man, without that feeling of security so essentia], to accurate- observation, spying upon an enemy arid endeavoring to gather such information as may be of value. The proper sphere of the kite's usefulness would seem-to be in that field of meteorological experiment in which Franklin was a pioneer. That the kite can also be used for military purposes, signaling and the like, and especially for taking bird's eye photographs by means of automatic apparatus,, seems likely enough;. But the lifting of a man to the.dizzy height of a thousand feet or more, so that he may leisurely study an enemy's position trans cends the bounds of possibility; BEOWIM GISLS SHOULD BE BRIGHT, CHEERFUL, ACTIVE AND STRONG.

Eor some years I resided in Wisconsin with a relative, where I devoted my time studying English and music, intending to make the teaching of the latter, my profession. I was neveir very strong, and my studies fatigued me much. When about fourteen I became very pale,-,,' suffered from severe headaches, and weakness. 1 consulted a doctor, and ucting on his advice, returned .'.to Canada. The fatigue of the journey, however, made me worse, and finally Igot so weak that I could not walk without help. I was/extremely pale, my eye-lids were swollen, I had continuous headaches, and was so nervous; that the least noise would set my heart beating violently. I almost loathed food and my weight was re-' duced to ninety-five pounds. .-'-Neither, doctor's medicine nor anything else that I had. taken ^irp to> /that time seemed of the slightest benefit.

Happily an acquaintance of tmy father's one day brought me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and urged me to try them. I did so, and I.thought they/, helped ine some, and my father got more. After I had used a few boxes all my friends could see they were helping .me, and by the time I had taken nine boxes I was enjoying better health than I had ever had in my life before, and had gained fifteen pounds; in weight.

THE MINING REVIEWï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Saturday, December i, 1900. Famle Coke. 1 ' Tho output of the coal mines near Ferule ia about 1,100 tons daily and the 300 coke ovens now in u'bo turn out obout 450 tons of coke per day. The 60 new ovens will add about 90 tons a day to the coke supply, and this additional quantity will, it is , estimated, furnish all the coke that the Boundary creek smelters will use until their furnace capacity ahall have increased, and, too, any extra consumption at the Granb}" smelter at Grand Forks, to which five cars of coke a day are now being sent. Later, the company's new coal mine at Michel, east of Fernie, will be in shape to pat out some 700 tons daily, but at present it is only adding 100 tons a day to the total, the country has available for shipment. Some time ago, when the provincial demand for coal and coke was comparatively small, a_ market was sought south of the international boundary line, with the result that the whole of the output of the company's mines could now easily bo placed across the line. For instance, the Great Northern railway company is prepared to take 40 cars of coal per day, but the Crow's Nest company is not at "present able to supply one-tenth of that quantity and at the same time keep its British Columbia customers supplied, while the railway and steamboat lines in Kootenay cannot at present be supplied with any coal from Fernie. The company is also restricting its shipments to Winnipeg and other points east of British Columbia to actual current contract requirements and is not accepting any new business from that direction.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Greenwood Miner.
