SECOND YEAR. --NO. NELSON, BRITISH COLUiMBIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2a. !8i)3. PRICE TEN CENTS. THE NAKUSP & SLOCAN RAILWAY. A FEW FACTS REGARDING . ITS COST AND CONSTRUCTION. Women Now Have Hysterical Knees. I re.id somewhere the other dn.y that this winter's new gowns will have a wadded lining reaching a, loot or more above the hum. to prevent the eold or rheumatism, which is today a general complaint Is it Good Policy to Exploit the Credit of the Province for the Benefit of a Few Railroad Promoters. The Nakusp k. Slocan railway is being built under the auspices of the government of British Columbia, and the credit of the people of Bi'iti.sh Columbia is being used to pay for it. The present 'government has, hi addition, been making a good deal of party capital out of the enterprise, claiming .that it will open up a large section of the country, antl taking credit for tlie fact that it will put a, stop to the 'i'n-. iquitoiis tralh'e in .American capital and enterprise, which has hitherto been going on unrestrained in West Kootenay. It should therefore be ol: interest to every 'British Columbian, and more particularly to every citi/.en of West Kootenay, to have a few facts laid before thoni as to how this road is being built, what it is being :-.built for, whom it is ultimately to benelit, and who is to pay the piper, and (his last especially, as premier Davie intimates that parliament will be asked to guarantee the principal as well as the interest on the capital required to finance the road. The Inland Development A:-Construction Company certainly deserves great credit for tlie economical way in which the road is being built: there is no waste or extravagance in construction. The following is the schedule-to. which the subcontractor has to'\" conform : Solid rock, $1 to $1.10 a yard; loose rock, '!\"> cents; cemented gravel. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD''>.\"> cents; earth,1(5 to 17 cents; grubbing, .ij> 100 to Sj52iX) an acre; ties, \"cents iu the bush. The figures are not excessive, but their eil'ect is reduced by an ingenious system of estimates by which the contractors are forced to take the price, of earth for gravel, and so on, which has been carried-to such an extent, that, with one exception, there is no coil- tractor on the road but is suspected to have gone behind. To such a pitch -has' this come that the contractors are prepared to take -concerted action to obtain redress. They do not expect to have to go to law however. They rely on that dislike of having their doings dragged into the light of day whiclO'ailioad promoters share with tiie criminal classes. There can be no doubt ''whatever that the road is being built as cheaply as possible. Not only is the labor being screwed down to the last cent, but light ties, old rails, ami sharp curves are being uniformly put in. The road is not only cheap, but faulty. Curves as high as 1.!)'.'JO'are being allowed, 1(5' being tlie highest permissible by law in the United States, and ill tlie eight miles of track already laid not a new rail has been u^ed. Kvery rail is a second-hand one from the main line of the Canadian Pacific. The trestles on the road are universally admitted to be badly built and the llimsiest ever put into a Canadian..road. So far .so good as regards the cost of the road to the construction company, but Avhen the cost of the road to the taxpayer is considered'it is altogether different. The road is to cost $2.'5.000 a mile, or $!)(H),()00'in all. It will be completed for under .$(500,000. according to the estimate of competent engineers and the judgment of practical men who have seen the class of work put in. -Whore is the surplus $.'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD$00,000 going? That is a question which may be very pertinently asked of premier Davie. It Avould not do to suggest that ministers of the crown are getting a share. It is too much to credit Air. Davie with such iMachiavelian ingenuity in this scheme as to flatter the people of West Kootenay that he is favoring this section, to flatter tlie province as a whole ttiat he is buttressing its trade against foreign competition, anil at the same time to be lining his pockets against those periods of private and individual depression to which -.public life is liable at any time. But while it is assumed that the ministry are themselves in motive and action ail that they ought to be. the red herrings of progressive policy and patriotic enterprise must not lie allowed to obscure lo the people of British Columbia, and West Kootenay the real nature of the transaction. The plain facts are these: There is a \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*!() per cent commission on this deal, which is coining out of the pockets of the taxpayers and going into the pockets of some one else. The taxpayer will never ultimately benefit to the extent of a dollar by the road. No sooner iloes it become a paying concern than it is found to lie owned by parties who did not pay for it. And if the patriotic feeling is carried out to its logical conclusion, it means that the taxpayer has paid to place the iron heel of a monopoly on his own neck. The trail of the serpent is over it all; and it certainly behooves the people of tlie country to take care that their credit is not exploited for the benefit of anyone except themselves before it is too late. There can bene objection to the government building new and necessary lines of railroad. Such a policy has the support of every pioneer and well-wisher of the province. But what the government builds and the people; pay for, let the government and the people own. among my sex. Very many women are unquestionably victims to-aching limbs, but now I learn the physicians call this trouble hysterical knees, or that it is an affection of the nerves centered at that joint. Certain it is that in this cold climate women (logo about insufficiently protected, just as children did before their long leggings were introduced. Again and again, with shoulders weighted under furs, with heavy coat, muff. boa.and veil, they will go out in n .small blizzard having nothing stouter than a silk stocking guarding ankle to knee. It may be one of those pretty inconsistencies that 'make women so charming, but I am satisfied one thickness of fhmucl would rout all the hysteria in the knees now causing the owners so much discomfort. TRAIL CREEK DISTRICT. 'THE POLICY OF INFAMY.\" A Scorching Denunciation of Cleveland's Hawaiian Policy. Editor Dana of the New York Sun is not satisfied with the manner in which the, Cleveland administration has dealt with the Hawaiian problem. At least as much would be inferred from the tone of the following which appeared'on the editorial page of the Sun: \"The announcement of the Cleveland policy respecting Hawaii has come. It is not the -policy of the United States government or the policy of this republic. It is not yet, thank God, the policy of the Democratic party. It is neither more nor less than the.personal determination of the executive officer charged with temporary power, to use that power to, enforce personal conclusions, and to commit this country to. his'personal conclusions, regardless of the consequences. \"Stripped of every special pica and .specious pretext surrounding the essential fact, what is the purpose which Mr.- Cleveland.'now' declares through the so-called report, of his too subservient secretary of state? 'To:crush the life out of a, young republic/already recognized by us as an independent and responsiblegovernment; to employ the armed power as well as the moral .influence of the United States to thrust back upon a civilized people, American iu their instincts and habits and aspirations, a barbarous monarchy in the person of a vile and ridiculous person, whom I hey have -driven- from the throne; to undo the work of the revolution which made Hawaii a republic by means of a counterrevolution by a coup d'etat planed planned in the White Mouse at Washington and secretly but deliberately ordered iy the president of the United States. \"That is the Cleveland policy. The American |>olicy was settled long ago. It has never varied. Never before has any American executive undertaken to stamp out republicanism and set up a monarchy in any part of the world. Never before, we believe, has an .American president issued orders-for the assassination of a free and successful government. Never before has any officer of this government-undertaken, upon his own responsibility and without consulting congress or the people, to decide the destinyof a foreign country in diplomatic relations with ourselves. Sever before has a president invited or commanded his cabinet advisers to assist him in the odious business of setting up again a rotten and broken throne. \"Was there no American spirit in the cabinet when this policy of infamy was decreed? Walter Q, Gresham would have done well to tear his commission into pieces, and fling tho pieces into tlie face of his master, ratlier than to sign his name to the document which carried to the nation the announcement of the nation's shame. \"So cunningly and so secretly has the way been prepared at Washington for the restoration of the wretched Liliuo.calani at Honolulu, if p.issible, before public sentiment could assort itself in the United Scates, and so adroitly have the promoters of-the coup d'etat timed the publica Encouraging Reports as to tlie Condition of the Mines. P. .J. Kennedy, who I'or several months has been.at work in the LeKoi mine, Trail Creek district, was at Northport last week, and while there gave the Northport News a glowing account of the Trail Creek minus. Among the most promising now working are the LeRoi, War liaglo, Nickle Plate, Josic, Mountain Star, Mountain Chief, Little Chief, anil the Bonanza. The LeRoi has a force of twenty-six men ; and ore is being shipped to Taebma. The first shipment of forty tons ran $58 in gold to the ton, but assays made since show that the ore is getting higher grade as development goes on. Tlie whole face of the 'main tunnel is'solid ore, and it. can be taken out at but little cost. The owners have erected buildings over the ore 'dumps and shafts and -intend to work the inine all winter. The War Fagle has a force of five men, a,nd Avork is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The ore in this mine is somewhat similar to that of the LeRoi, and. iu fact all ores found iu the different claims on Bed \"mountain are of the same nature. It is thought that the force on the War^ Eagle will soon be increased, as the owners are anxious . to begin shipping ore. Four moil are working oil the .Josie. Shaft houses and ore sheds are being erected aud all the necessary .preparations for winter are Hearing completion. Similar work is going on on the Nickle Plate. .Mountain Star, Mountain Chief, Little Chief, and the Bonanza. Fvery miner seems to have .some news 'regarding the Trail Creek mines, and according to their opinions the ore is there and plenty of it. Tlie ore which is now (a ken to Trail, loaded on boats and trans- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ferred to cars at Northport cannot be gotten out in that way when the river gets too low for the steamers to run, says the News, and it is therefore beiieved that the ore will come direct to Northport over the Northport and Sheep Creek.'wagon road. There are only two hills to ascend coming from the mines, anil although they are rather steep, they could with a little work, be put in a condition to haul ore over. The citizens of Northport and the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Northport- Townsite Company, built this road and the mine owners can well afford to grade down the two hills mentioned above. Eventually this will have to be clone as mines on this side of lied mountain can not'possibly get their ore out by any other route. The O. K., I. X. L.. Little Dalles, Diamond ii., and numerous extensions, are. located two and a half miles this side of Red mountain, and-within half a mile of the Northport ami Sheep Creek road. These mines are looking fine and only need development to rank them with the best. The O. K. has a force of men working in the main tunnel and the ore which is now being extracted looks well. The fact that Sheep Creek and Trail Creek have so many valuable mines show that when spring opens up this will be the liveliest town in the northwest. The Deeji Creek and Cellar Creek mines, which are on the United States side of the boundary-line, are all looking good and ore is being sacked ready for shipment on most of them. Prospectors are coming in for their winter supplies daily and preparations of all kinds are being made. [It is now in order for Trail's oldest boomer, E. S. Topping, to come to tne front with a letter showing that the only way to get ore out of Trail Creek district is by way of his town, Trail, which is in British Columbia, and which will be connected by .steamboat with Waneta,, a, station in British Columbia on the Nelson & Fort Sheppard railway. Northport is in Washington.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDFi)iTouTiuiu;.\'r:. | OUR MAIL FACILITIES. tion of their instructions, in order to cover minister Willis's movements under his secret instructions, that the astounded people of the United States do not yet know what has happened in Hawaii. \"Have the hopes of the woman who called herself queen; of the interested British friends: of the mercenary Spreck- les: of the dull and prejudiced' Blount, who went out to make a lawyer's case against the Hawaiian government, been drowned already by the success of the counter-revolution, ordered by the president of the United States? \"Has Liliuokalani been marched back to her throne under the escort of American bayonets and to the music of \"Hail Columbia.\" or are the intelligent, respectable and patriotic citizens of Hawaii fighting today against American troops and dying iu the streets in a struggle to preserve the government they have established and the blessings of liberty and order which they thought they had obtained for themselves and their children?\" Chickens as Placer Miners. J. A. JMeConville, who lives near Butte, Montana, killed one of his chickens, and on cleaning it found some small gold nuggets in the crop and gizzard. Having about thirty more chickens on hand, he began killing and examining them.

But when these same time checks were sent to the contractors' office to be cashed, anil,no cash was available, the thing grew irksome, aud li. & A. li. time checks,-dropped to n() below zero in public\"estimation,- and remain there yet. What are the men to do? Some of them have time checks three months old and can't cash them.

This is almost as mean a piece of business as.attempting to run a newspaper in lievelstoke.\" Silver King Ore Coming Down. The Silver King has probably.more ore really for shipment than any other .mine in Kootenay, that is inorcore in ore shells. It is being brought down to the wharf at Nelson at the rate of ten tons a day. The management has not decided how many.' tons will be shipped this winter, but if a good rate can be got over the Nelson dc Fort Sheppard. the shipments\"'may'aggregate more than those of any other mi no in the district. The first shipments will'go out by way of Bonner's Ferry. Declined a Token of Esteem. \"When'I-lirst \"went as United States minister to Turkey,\" said general Lew 'Wallace, \"a very funny thing happened mo. One of the first and most important duties 1 had to fulfill was a call of state which I had to pay to the:sultan.

It was n beautiful young lady from his own harem. \"Vou may imagine, if you can. the predicament I was in.

On the other hand, if I accepted the beauty, howeould lever explain to the American people? And there was Mrs. Wallace! \"The short of il was that 1 sent her hack, and next day I succeeded in explaining to the sultan the position it would place nie in before my people at home, and convinced him that it would not be wise for me to accept such a gift, lie eventually icplaeed the present with one much more sa tisfaetorv to.Mrs. Wallace at least.\" Ingersoll on Silver.

Although the road is not yet open for traffic, the sound \"of the locomotiver whistle as the material trains pass the siding at Nelson indicates that tlie days of construction .must soon be at an end, for, at this writing, less than three .\"miles of track .remain to be laid to allow of transfers being made between steamboat and boxcar.

The depot at Nelson is not very conveniently located,1 but the inconvenience will be borne with until such time as the track can be laid along the water front from Five-mile point back to the government wharf at'the foot of Hall street. A road to the depot should'be'built,\"and tlie railroad people believe that as they have rustled up a million dollars to build sixty- live miles of railway without getting a dollar from the provincial government, that the latter should-turn in and build the half mile of . wagon'road needed to connect the depot with the streets of Nelson. Bad Weather and Bad Mail Service. The regular correspondent of Till-: Tkiuu.vk at New Denver writes: \"The weather has been too much for the men at work on the Grady group, and six of them have been laid oil' until quarters can be built. .Most alarming reports about the price of silver have been filtering in here. It is another of the advantages of our surprising\" postal service that we are till the time tantali'/ed by vague and indefinite reports.\" Nakusp has two mails a week, and the contractors on the railway have, for a small monthly assessment, been supplied with two mails a week, but Now Denver has only one. This is the more idiotic, as the mail inatter is brought over the route for so much a pound, and it would cost no more to send it twice a week than once a week. What we want is a definite system of postal communication with southern Kootenay first, and with the outside world second.. This can only be done by way of Kaslo. The last Tui'nr.vK came by' way of Kaslo. It made a difference .of four or five da vs.\" Trying to Keep the Revelstoke Route Open. From those who came down the Columbia the fore part of this week it is learned that an effort is being made to keep tho lievelstoke route open awhile longer. Navigation is practically closed between Bevel.itoke and the \"green slide,\" the steam barge lllecillewact even having difficulty iu getting down. If the railway can be completed down to the \"green slide.\" a sleigh road will be built from t hat point to open water on I'pper Arrow lake. It is imperative that something be done, aud done at once, as there arc fully a thousand men strung along the route of the Nakusp A' Slocan railway and the food supply is getting very low. Of course supplies could be got iu by way of Nelson and Kaslo, but the nien who are building the Nakusp A Slocan are not- likely to incur the additional expense that would be incurred in getting in goods by the southern route. Impeded by Slush Snow. The Nelson was unable to get through to Bonner's Ferry on .Monday, owing to tin.'slush snow in the river, and had to discharge cargo and passengers at the old landing-place of the steamer Galena. Tlie snow fell to a depth of seventeen inches at Bonner's Ferry and to a depth of twenty-live inches tit Crossporf. only a few miles farther up the river. The slush was so solid that a pole could hardly be driven through it, and when the steamer would back out in attempting to get through, the opening would remain i'vee of water for several uiimd.es.

Eastern wholesale houses have, in the past, been only too anxious to sell goods to the merchants of Kootenay, and in no other section of Canada has the percentage of loss from bad debts been so small. That our merchants are now in debt is true; but that they are in a worse condition than those of Manitoba, or even, those of Ontario, is doubtful, if we mistake not, the wholesale houses of the east have, in times past, carried the merchants of Manitoba from year to year, owing to a succession of bad crops. This they have not had to do for our merchants. Not even after they have, by standing in with theanti-silver element in the United States, favored a policy that lias destroyed the value of one-half the product of our mines. Were the business men and miners of the Pacific Coast in a position, by their numerical strength, to dictate or influence legislation to compel the eastern farmer to acid thirty or forty pounds to each bushel of wheat, or eight to ten ounces to each pound'of butter or cheese, would the eastern farmer or business man have very kindly feelings for the Pacific coasters? Not very. But that is just the hardship the eastern business man has helped work on the western mine owner, they have compelled him to nearly double the number of grains in his ounce of silver; and mining and merchandising are so closely allied in this country that what injures the one injures the other. Jn no section of Canada are there more honorable merchants than in the Kootenay country, anil the word \"honorable\" is used in its broadest .sen.se. They are liberal in dealing with the men endeavoring to tievelop the resources of the conn try. They do not live extravagantly. They are neither drunkards nor gamblers. That they have ''speculated\" will not be denied, but the speculations iu which they engaged were enterprises that had to be carried on in order that the growth of the towns kept pace with the requirements of the country. That the Kootenay country is in a condition to warrant the uneasy feeling said to predominate in the eastern wholesale centers is absurd. What other section of country with a total population of less than five thousand people can, in the next six mouths, produce from old mother earth a sum equal to that which will be produced from the mines of Slocan alone? Not one. The Kootenay country is all right. ___ AN EDITOR'S CRIME. The crime for which editor Kill's of New Brunswick was fined and imprisoned was a heinous one. The crime was printing the following iu his paper, the O'lobe of St. John: \" People who know something about the '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD course of political events were not sur- \" prised when they read in the papers \" this morning that .Mr. justice Tuck had \" issued a writ of prohibition to judge \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\" Steadman of the county court, prohibiting hi in from proceeding: to recount the \" ballots in the Queen's election.

The ap- \" peal to judge Steadman for a judicial \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' reconsideration was made to a man of \" fair and honest judgment, who, if he \" had political leanings at all, would \" have them towards the Conservative \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' party, but whom the people generally \" would trust to do wlutt was fair.

How long since is it that every employee of tlie Canadian Pacific in Kootenay was either forced or induced to vote for colonel Baker for member of the legislative assembly? Hardly three years ago. But, then, it was probably done without the knowledge of Air. Van Home or .Mr. Shaughnessy. These two upright nien have, however, wicked parties one here iu British Columbia,, who do not hesitate to bulldoze, bribe, and wheedle tlie employees of the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company into doing things on election da.y that are not on the square. But it is cheering news to hear that the railroad has gone out of politics. \"Corruption at headquarters is a-poison \" that slowly but surely finds, its way \" throughout, the whole organism, it is '' absurd to think that you can make the \" people righteous by preaching and pray- \" ing, while that kind of work is toler- \" ated.

And his words fitly describe the feelings the people of West Kootenay have for the provincial government. While not charging the members of the government with -personal corruption, the people well know that the \"close\" friends of the government in this district are men who openly boast that, public office is not a public trust, but, instead, a means of feathering one's nest at tlie public expense. The British empire at the present moment may be said to be practically ruled by Scotland, and lord Roseberry's remark to the effect that wherever the world over there was a good thing there would be \"a Scotchman sitting by it,\" is borne out by the appointment of a Scotch peer to the post of viceroy of iiiclia, the most lucrative office in the gift of the crown. There are no less than six Scotchmen in the cabinet, and everyone of the Australasian colonies is at the present moment under the rule of a Scottish governor, among the most conspicuous being- the earl of Kin- tore, the carl of Ilopetown, and sir Robert Dull', while the governor-general of Canada, the earl of Aberdeen, is likewise a Scot. The Scotch seem to rule the roost in every part of her majesty's domains, except only in British Columbia. The Incompetent Woman. There is absolutely no room in this day and generation for the incapable woman, at least in the bread-winning ranks. To stand any chance of success she must be well skilled in whatever she undertakes, and the stenographer and typewriter who cannot take her dictation at ordinary speed and transcribe it accurately cannot expect to keep her position, for her employer can fill her place with little trouble. The dressmaker who \"botches,\" whose skirts hang unevenly, and whoso sleeves are badly adjusted is the one who has to resort, to advertising I'or work by the day, for a good dressmaker's time is always engaged lar ahead, and her patrons cannot get her without due notice. In domestic service the girl who perforins the duties required oNior deftly and well is the one who saves intelligence office fees, and is prized above rubies hy her employer. In short, from the highest to the lowest rank of wage-earners it is skilled labor that pays, and that is infinitely easier in the end than untrained service, which is of necessity as laborious as it j.s valuclcKj*. INEBRIETY\". Its Many Causes, Its Results, and Its Treatment. Inebriety has been defined as a morbid craving for intoxication. This intoxication may be induced by alcohol, opium, ether, cocaine, hasheesh, chloral, and other drugs. There are many physicians who consider habitual drunkenness in till cases as a disease, while others differentiate between the vice of drunkenness and the disease of inebriety, albeit the lines of demarcation between the two are often very faint and uncertain. .Most of us are doubtless familiar with ca.ses in which frequent intoxication is merely the manifestation of a weak will and conviviality, and with others iu which, through hereditary or acquired predisposition, a morbid anil irresistible impulse exists entirely beyond tho control of the victim and amounting lo an actual nervous disorder. Heredity is doubtless of the highest importance as an etiological factor in the production of either the vice or the disease. In an analysis of 000cases admitted to an institution for inebriates in this country, direct inheritance of a tendency to drink was traced in 2:'>l.) cases, and insanity was noted in tlie progenitors ol' '.'A) others, so that nearly one-half of lliein were born in a condition to become victims of the inebriate malady. Inebriate parents not only beget children who may fall a prey to the same morbid impulse, but their progeny are often feeble, idiotic, epileptic, or insane. Il is the custom of physicians in all cases of insanity, epilepsy, idiocy, and many other disorders to inquire into the inatter of intemperance in the family history. ALCOHOLIC 1NERRIKTV. The most common of all forms of intoxication is, of course, that due to alcohol, and the question of its treatment most formidable. Alcohol affects tlie system in such a variety of ways, perverts the functions of so many organs, invades aud corrodes so many tissues, that the physician is often puzzled as to what part of ' the organism needs treatment first. The poison produces chronic inflammation of the stomach, it gradually inllaines the liver, and, in fact, strangles it like an iron hand: it injures the heart, if affects the kidneys, it does harm to the lungs, it produces neurasthenia, delirium tremons. insanity, and'epilepsy by its influence upon the nervous system; it attacks the spinal cord and causes pseudo-ataxia. Sometimes the physicians treat one of these conditions in a patient, and sometimes many. But the worst-condition'is that of tlie vice or disease itself. lie liuiy treat and relieve to a certain extent the disorders just enumerated, but the habit offers terrible \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'difficulties to overcome in order to conquer it. How shall the habit be cured? Por 'many decades this complex question has .commanded the attention not only of ..physicians, but of laymen, lawyers, clergymen, and statesmen. Either the desire for alcohol.must be got rid of or the alcohol itself must be made unattainable. To accomplish the first, appeal has been made! to the enfeebled will of the victim by lectures, pledges, hpynotic suggestion, religious influence unci the like, often with considerable success. -And-drugs, too, have been lauded by physicians antl a multitude of secret nostrums by quacks to accomplish the same purpose, and also with considerable success, though not so much through the merit of being an antidote to the impulse for drink as by \ b'tue of the support by faith or suggestion given to the weak will of the victim. On the other hand, to make alcohol unattainable, or at least to put it as far as \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDpossible out of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD reach, the hiw has been invoked-to-regulate liquor selling in general, to prevent its sale to drunkards, to imprison habitues, or to commit inebriates to special institutions for a certain period of time. While all of these means have, in individual instances, been productive of successful results, the facts remain that no drug lias been found that is always equal to destroying the morbid craving, and the laws tire inadequate as regards the regulation of the liquor traffic and the isolation of the drunkard from the contiguity of his ruling demon. Sequestration' in a penitentiary is but for a limited time, and the writ of habeas corpus has been destructive to the institutions especially erected for these cases. JMany patients suffering from inebriety are committed to insane asylums upon lunacy-certificates, though not insane, for the simple reason that it is absolutely necessary to lock thoni up somewhere, and the lunatic asylum is better than the jail. Hut, after a few weeks of rest and treatment, they recover from the effects of the debauch, and not being insane, they can no longer be detained, and are sent forth to repeat the same experience. These repealers conic and go in the asylums with the regularity of the seasons. The rich go to flic private asylums and inebriates' homes, but lhe only refuge for lhe poor is condemnation to penitentiaries. Some lime ago a woman in England was brought up before the police court I'or drunkenness for the two hundred and forty-sixth time! Such treatment of the morbid crave is, of course, worse than useless. When cases of inebriety are brought to the physician, commitment is as a rule tlie last resort. The doctor tries moral suasion on them, occasionally hypnotism, and always some half-hearted and uncertain treatment by drugs. Not, infrequently he sends them on long sailing voyages in teetotal vessels, or he puts them in charge of a companion or nurse. It is not seldom that some one of these methods proves curative, but the rule is that each of these proceedings is generally useless. Then the despairing friends resort toeharlntnns. who lind in inebriety cures a vast field for enterprise a ml money making. The remedies of the quacks arc actually no different from those in the hands of honorable practitioners, hut, the advertising halo, testimonials, and ,-iii of secrecy thrown around the \"euro\" gi>. o a certain advantage to this species of i,r \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDal- ujout not possessed by the open and fiank methods of the regular physicians, so_ it must, he confessed thab cases are not infrequently cured by these money-seeking venders of nostrums. Some ol the advertised inebriety cures are heartless and cruel swindles. Several years ago the chemist of (he .Massachusetts state board of health analyzed some of the so-called cures for inebriety in order to ascertain how much alcohol (hey contained, and published the following analysis as a, re-' suit: Scotch Outs Essen.-c The \" Rest' Tonic . drier's Plij-u.il Exirtu-L ilonll.mil's (leriii.in Tonic .. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD .

The -o-callod gold cure of Keeley upon analysis was found to contain no gold at all. but in each teaspoonfii! about l'-'fc2 of a grain nut riate of ammonia. 1-10 of a grain of aloin. and -I.\"3 minims of compound tincture of cinchona, liis hypodermic injections were found to consist of strychnia, ahiopia. and boracic acid. Thus it is seen that even this much-lauded treatment makes use of no single drug not years ago tried all over the world by regular physicians. After till it seems that the ellicacy of drugs is slight, iu such cases, and the real secret of success in the treatment of inebriety is. repeated suggestion. The family physician is too prone to dismissa. patient of this kind with some stimulating tonic and friendly advice, whereas he should make use of the much more powerful effects of mental medicine. That is. he should supplement his drugs by his moral influence and by personal contact with his patient every day. and. indeed, several times a day. Jtds for this reason tha t the hypodermic method of treatment is so valuable. It requires the presence of tin1, patient at the doctor's ollice two or three ill.ics daily. The drug injected may be some strong and useful tonic that in itself will keep lhe patient's craving down for hours, and help him in his efforts to keep straight until his next visit to the physician, if the doctor's personality is of the right kind, it will stir up the inebriate's ardor to do right, and have the same beneficial and helpful effect that hypnotism, faith cure, and signing the pledge are known to exert in these cases. The Keeley cure has been one of ihe most successful of methods, for the reason that it depends so much upon this powerful instrument of suggestion. Its very success has increased its suggestive power. Naturally one rarely hoars of any but the successes. The innumerable faihfres are not published to the world. Fortunately they come under' the observation of physicians who now and then give an account of them in tiic medical journals. The writer has had personally under his charge two patient's who became insane after taking ; the Keeley cure, one who killed herself by a Jong debauch, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand another now under treatment for drunkenness.\" \"So'here are four Keeley failures, and if would, not be diflioult to collect .large numbers of others. Hence there are multitudes of victims of alcohol,and other intoxicants for whom .no treatment of any kind avails, and for these there is only one remedy, viz.. the placing them out of the way of temptation, the putting them somewhere where the intoxicant is wholly out of reach. This,'unfortunately, is difficult of accomplishment. It is possible to commit inebriates to homes and'penitentiaries for a few months. But this is merely temporizing, playing with the besetting sin. The nervous system anil the heart and other organs do not return to their normal equilibrium after prolonged alcoholism for several years, so that commitment to an institution is probabl.v of ho value unless it be for a 'period of tit least two years. The great drawback of all homes of this .kind is ..the tedium vitee .from which the. inmates.'naturally suffer. There is not sufficient recreation or employment, and the deadly monotony of the (hilly life becomes in the highest degree irksome. Under the circumstances it is not an ideal method, yet it is the only one as yet practicable, and even then only for a fortunate few of the female sex. A TK.MPKIiA.VCK ISLAND. In a recent article upon-this subject in \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD) whose insanity was due to overindulgence in hasheesh. Cocaine inebriety is one of the new forms of habit dating from the recent introduction of this'important drug into the p.harmacopa'ia. It is in daily use for the relief of pain, and especially for the production of local nmesthosia forsurgical purposes.- and usually the acquisition of the habit arises from this source. Benili- cent as the <\ru;j; is to mankind, it can, like opium, product! endless misery to one so unfortunate to become its victim. The relief it gives to pain, the sense of exhilarating, content, and pleasure aroused in the subject on first taking it, leads to subsequent resort to it for the cares and sorrows of every-day life, iind ere long he becomes its thrall. It has been well termed a seductive, bewitching', fascinating intoxicant, but it is as dangerous as it is attractive. It is more speedy than opium in the ruin that if brings to its slave, and this ruin is insanity or death. OTIIIOR XKW PORMS OP IXKIIRIKTV. With the discovery and introduction of new narcotics and anodynes from month tonionth.it is not surprising that novel forms of habit should arise. Souk; of these are easily broken, and others, again, hold the victim fast in their shackles. Sulphomil, one of the newest and best hypnotics, has quite misled chloral as a ilriiu; to induce sleep, and an occasional siilphonal habitue is met with, but its paralyzing effects on the body after long continuance and the absence of any particular charm in its effects, permits of easy breaking of the slight chains iu which the patient is hold. Paraldehyde, a-somewhat older drug, and one often employed its ;i soporofie. sometimes develops a habit. It is a disagreeable <\ru}j; to take, tasting, if anything, worse than ether, and leaving a, very unpleasant odor on the breath. It is often a difficult habit to check, but it may be said of it that it does not (.'any so much havoc in its train as sonic other vices, and sonic patients seem to fatten iu an astonishing manner upon it. There arc other drugs that are prone to develop morbid cravings I'or repeated doses when taken, and doubtless sis new ones are discovered and brought into general use in medicine, new aud curious forms of inebriety will arise. The inebriety fanatics, as those physicians may be termed who look upon inebriety as always under all circumstances a disease, enumerate in their publications on the subject forms of inebriety due to gelseniiuin, ginger, stnn- bul, lavender, capsicum, chlorodyne, and cider, and some there are who lain would add lea. coffee, and tobacco to tliis catalogue of dreadful intoxicants: but most would probably discriminate rather carefully between the vice which is easily broken and the irresistible craving (hat must be siitislied at \vha(c\ er cost, be it disease of body, moral degradation, or actual loss of mind.

LONDON, Agents and Correspondents Knu A little more and Jean Hastenux would lia.vo been a ijiaiil. liriLLany men are small asa rule. bill..lean was an exception. lie was a powerful youn^ fellow who. up to the time he was compelled to enter tlie army, had spent his life in dra^gintf heavy nets over the side of a, boat. He knew the Brittany coast, ru^.iced and indented as it is, as well as he knew the road from tlie little cafe on the square to the dwelling of hi.s father on the hillside overlooking tin; sea. Never before had he been out. of sound of waves, lie was a man who. like llarve Kiel, initrht have saved the fleet: but Krnnce. with the usual {,'ood sense of officialism, sent this man of the const into the mountains, and .lean Kas- letuix became a soldier of the Alpine corps. If he stood on the highest mountain peak .lean might look over illimitable wastes of snow, but he could catch neither sound nor sight of the sea. .Men who mix with mountains become iis rough and rugged ns the rocks, and the Alpine corps was a wild body, harsh and brutal. Punishment, in the ranks was swift and terrible, for the corps was situated far from any of the civilizing things of modern life, and deeds were done which the world knewuotof: deeds which would not have been approved if reported at headquarters. The regiment of which .lean became a unit was stationed in a high valley that had but one outlet, a wild pass down which a mountain river roared and foamed and tossed. The narrow path by the side of this stream was the only way out of or into the valley, for all around the little plateau was walled in by immense peaks of everlasting snow, da/./.ling in the sunlight-, and luminous even in the still, dark nights. From the peaks to the south Italy might have been seen, but no man had\" ever dared to climb any of them. The angry little river was fed from a glacier wlio.se blue breast lay sparkling in the sunshine to the south, and the stream circumnavigated the little plateau, as if trying to find tin outlet for its tossing waters. .lean was terrible lonely in these dreary and unaccustomed solitudes. The white mountains awed him. and the mad roar of the river seemed but poor compensation .for the dignified ;uid measured thunder ol' the waves on the broad sands of the Brittany coast. But .lean was a good-natured giant, and he strove to do whatever was required of him. lit) was not quick at repartee, and the men mocked his Breton dialect. He became the bull, for all their small and often mean .jokes, and from the first, he was very miserable, for, added to his \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDyearning for the sett, whose steady roar he beard in his dreams at night, he felt the utter lack of all human sympathy. At lirst Jie endeavored by unfailing good nature and prompt obedience to win the regard of his fellows, and he became in a measure the slave of the regiment; but the more he tried to please the more his burden increased, and the greater were the insults he was compelled to bear from both ofliccrs and men. It was so easy to bully this giant, whom they nicknamed Samson, that even thesmnllest men in 1 he regiment felt at liberty to swear at him or cuff him if necessary. But at lastSnnison'sgood nature seemed to be wearing out. His stuck was becoming exhausted, and his comrades forgot that the Bretons for hundreds of years have been successful lighters, and that the blood of contention flows in their veins. Although the Alpine corps, as a general thing, contains the largest and strongest men in the French army, yet the average French soldier may be termed undersi/.ed when compared with the military of either lOngland or Ucrmany. There were sever.il physically small men in the regiment, and one of these, like a diminutive gnat, was Samson's worst persecutor. As there was no other man iu the regiment whom the gnat could bully. Samson received more than even he could be expected to bear. One day the gnat ordered Stunson to bring him a pail of water from the stream, and the big fellow unhesitatingly obeyed. He spilled some of it coming up the bank, and -when he delivered it to the little man the latter abused him for not bringing tlie pail full, and as several of the larger soldiers who had all in their turn made Samson miserable were standing about, the little niiin picked up the pail of water and dashed it into Samson's face. It was such a good oppoitunity for showing off before the big men. who removed their pipes from their mouths and laughed loudly as Samson with his knuckles tried to take the water out of his eyes. Then Samson did an astonishing thing. \" You miserable, little, insignificant rat,\" he cried. \"J could crush you. but you are Merchants' Hank ol'Canadii and branches; Canadian Hank of Commerce and branches; Imperial Hank of Canada and branches; MnNon's Hank and branches; Hank of Nova Scolia and branches.

But to show you that 1 am not afraid of any of you. there, and there!\" As he said these two words with emphasis. Iu; struck out from the shoulder, not at the little man. but at the two biggest men iu the regiment, and felled them like logs. A cry of rage went up from their comrades, but bullies are cowards at heart, and while Samson glared at them no one made a move. The matter wti.s reported to the officer and Stunson was placed under arrest. When the inquiry was held, the officer expressed his astonishment at the fact that Samson had hit two men who had nothing lo do with the insult he had received, while the real culprit had been allowed logo unpunished. \"They deserved it,\" said Samson sullenly, \"for what they had done before. I could not. strike the iittle man. I should have killed him.\" \"Silence!\" cried the oflicer. \"You must not answer me like that.\" \"1 shall answer you as I like,\" said Samson doggedly. The oflicer sprang to his feet with a. little rattan cane in his hand, and struck the insubordinate soldier twice across the face, each time leavingan angry rod mark. Before the guards had time to interfere. Stunson sprang upon the oflicer. lifted him like a child above his head, and dashed him wilh a sickening crash to the ground, whoie ho lay motionless. A cry of honor wont up from everyone. \"I have had enough.\" cried Samson, turning to go, but. he 'was met by a, bristling hedge of steel. Ho was like a rat in a trap, lie stood defiantly there, it man maddened by oppression, and glared around him helplessly. Whatever might have been his punishment for striking his comrades, there was no doubt now about his fate. The guardhouse was tt rude hut of logs situated on the banks ol' the roaring stream. Into this room Sainton was Hung, bound hand and foot, lo await the court-martial next day. The shattered officer, whose sword had broken iu pieces under him, slowly revived, and was carried to hi.s quarters. A sentry inarched up and down all night before the gliardhouse. In the morning''.when Samson was sent for, the guardhouse was found to be empty. The huge Breton had broken his bonds as did Stunson of old. He had pushed out a log of wood from the wall aud had squeezed himself through to the bank of tlie'strcain. There till trace of him was lost. If he had fallen in. then, of course, he had .sentenced and executed himself, but in the mud near the water wore, great \"footprints, which no boot but that of Stunson could have made; so if he were in the stream it must have been because he threw himself there. The trend of the footprints, however; indicated that he had climbed on the rocks, and there, of course, it was impossible to trace him. The .sentries who guarded the pass maintained that no one had gone through during the night, but to make sure several men were sent down tin; path to overtake the runaway. Kvoirii he reached a town or a village far below, so huge a man could not escape notice. The searchers wore instructed to telegraph his description and liiscrinie sis soon as they reached a telegraph wire. It was impossible to hide in the valley, and a rapid search speedily convinced the ofliccrs that the delinquent was not there. As the stin rose higher and higher, until it began to shine even on the northward facing snow fields, a sharp-eyed private reported that be saw a black speck moving high upon the groat white slope south of the'valley. The officer called for a field glass, tuid placing it to his eyes, examined the snow carefully. \"(.'allotita detachment,\" he said, \"that is Stunson on the mountain.\" There was a groat stir in the camp when the truth became known. Kniissar- ies were sent after the searchers down the pass, calling them to return. \"lie-thinks to gel to Italy.\" said the oflicer. \"I did not imagine tho fool know so much of geography. We have him now secure enough.\" The oflicer who had been Hung over Samson's head was now able to hobble about, and he was exceedingly bitter. Shading his eyes and gazing at the snow, he said : \"A good marksman ought to bit a bio to bring him down.\" \"There is no need of that,\" replied his superior. \"He cannot escape. We have nothing to do but wait for him. Ho will have to come down.\" All of which was perfectly true. A detachment crossed the stream and stacked its arms at tho foot of tho mountain which Sampson was drying to climb. There was a small level place a few yards wide- between the bottom of the hill and the bank of the raging stream. On this bit of level ground the soldiers lay in the sun and smoked, while the oflieers stood in a group and watched tho climbing man going steadily upward. For a short distance up from the plateau there was stunted grass and moss, with dark points of roc k protruding from the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDicant soil. Above that agttin was a breadtli of dirty snow, which now that the sun was strong, sent little trickling streams clown to the river. From there to the long ridge of the mountain extended upward the vast smooth slope of virgin, pure and wlrte. sparkling in the stroiigsunlight. as if it had been sprinkled with diamond dust. A black speck against the tremendousTiold of white, the giant struggled on, and they could see by tho glass that he stink to the knees in the softening snow. \"Xow,\" stiid the oflicer. \"he is beginning to understand his situation.\" Through the glass they saw Samson pause. From below it seemed as if the snow were as smooth as a sloping roof, but oven to the naked eye a shadow crossed it near tho (op. That shadow was a tremendous ridge of overhanging snow moroHum Hit) feet deep, and Samson now paused as ho realized that it was insur- mouuta bio. Ho looked down and undoubtedly saw a part of the regiment waiting for him below. Ho turned and plodded slowly under the. overhanging ridge until ho came to the precipice at his left. It was 1000 J'eet sheer down. He retraced hi.s stops and walked to the similar precipice at the right. Then ho came again to the middle of the great T which his footmarks Intel made* on that virgin slope. He sat down in the snow. Xo one will ever know what a moment of despair the Breton must have passed through when he realized tho hopelessness of his toil. The oflicer who was gazing through the glass at him dropped his hand to his side and laughed. \"The nature of his situation.\" be said, \"IniSat last dawned upon him. It took tb long time to got tin appreciation of it through his thick Breton skull.\" \"Let mo have tho glass a. moment.\" said another, \"he has made up his mind about something.\" Tho officer did not realize the full significance of what ho sttw through the glass. In spite of their conceit their skulls wore thicker than that of tho persecuted Breton fisherman. Samson lor a moment turned his face to tho north and raised his hands toward heaven. Whether it was tin np- peal to the saints he believed in or an invocation to thedistant ocean he was never more to look upon, who can tell? After a moment's pause ho flung hi in- down the slope towards the seel ion of the regiment which lounged on the bank of the river. Over and over he rolled, and then in place of a black figure there came downwards a white ball, gathering bulk at every bound. It was several seconds before the significance oi' what they wore gazing til- burst upon oflieers and men. Itcnnicupon thoni simultaneously and with tt wild panic: of fear. Iu the still air a low sullen roar arose. The men and officers wet o hemmed in by the boiling torrent. Some of them plunged in to get to the other side, but the moment the water laid hold of them their heels were whirled into the air antl they disappeared helplessly down tho rapids. Samson was hours going up the mountain, but only seconds in coining down. There was one mingled shriek which made itself heard through the sullen roar of the snow, then all was silence. The hoininod-iu waters rose high and soon forced their way. through the white \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbarrier/' When the remainder of the regiment dug out from tho debris the the bodies of their comrades they found a. fixed look of the wildest terror on every face except one. Samson himself, without tin unbroken bone iu hi.s body, slept as calmly as if he rested under the blue waters on the coast of Brittany. Bad Luck in an Opal. Some years ago a man named Beard, who was one of the wealthiest residents, of Houston, Texas,-and who still resides in that city, wtis traveling on horseback from-San Antonio to Austin. In his saddle biigs he Intel a supply of provisions, liquor, 'etc., the usual commissary supplies incident to horseback journeys. A few miles from Austin he rode up to a tree under which lay a stranger sick almost unto death. He asked Mr. Beard for assistance, and was given some provisions and a generous dritught of whisky, the follow was suffering with tt raging fever and realized the necessity of getting to where he could have proper medical attention. He asked Mr. Board if he could spare him it few dollars, tit the same time drawing from his linger a heavy gold ring set with a magnificent opal which shot forth flashes of red. blue, and golden light as the stone was moved. Mr. Beard took the ring, giving the man $\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'!. which was about half of the change ho had with him, promising to call on the man in the hospital in Austin, where he hoped to hear from friends, and would redeem it. Some two or three days later he went to the hospital and found his man still very ill. but he Pad failed to receive the expected remittance. After chart ing with him a while he took his departure. When lie visited the hospital next day he found tin? man was dead, lie returned to lions- i ton, forgetting till about the ring, except ; as lie happened to notice it. The second i day after his return he lost a lawsuit involving $N().00(). From this tiineon every- : thing he touched proved unlucky. One . day he was in Austin, gloomily meditat- ; ingovor hi.s ill-luck, when his eye chanced to fall upon the opal, which hoswears was ; enduing a yellowish-green light, and j seemed to mock at', him. Like a Hash the story of the opal, and the ill-luck llml attached to a possessor, came into his mind, j and drawing the ring from his linger he j started for the Colorado river, intending : to throw it in the slrenui. On his way he : met a friend, the sheriff of the county, to '< whom he coininiinicatod his intentions. The officer said it was a shame lo t hrow away such a magnificent gem. mid begged that ho might ha ve it instead. The opal changed ownership right there, and three days afterward the sheriff was shot alid killed. The opal then passed into tho hands of a lawyer, who was thereupon i unfortunate until he died, and the ring j went into the hands of the fifth man. who soon went crazy. From this time Mr. Beard lost all trace of tho.opal, after following its history through the hands of five different men. all of whom met with misfortune as soon as the gem came into their possession. MINING \"WITH A STEAMBOAT. Gold Raised at the Rate of $100 a Cay Prom the Bed of a River. Extravagant stories tiro told about the wealth of gold sprinkled throughout the Snake Hiver country in Idaho. As agon- oral thing tho gold is very fine, the particles being of so light weight as to bo elusive. Stive when worked on a largo scale it. is difficult to make good wages in recovering the gold. Numerous bars along the river would prove profitable could water bo commanded forsluicing or hydraiilicing. An adequate supply is hard to obtain, on account of the slight and gradual fall of the stream and the level character of tho outlying hinds. To overcome this hick of water as well as insure sufficient dumping ground, a big llotiling, gold-saving dredge has boon constructed and is now at work on the Idaho bank of the Snake river about ten miles .above J'ay otto. It is a storn-whoel flat-boat propelled by steam. Substantially constructed. On feet long and 22 feet wide, it is equipped with a So-horse power marine; engine and boiler and adapted in every way for navigating Idaho's great waterway. With a slight alteration it could bo transformed into a steam dredge and used to scoop up sand and gravel from the bottom of tho stream. That litis never been attempted. As in the past, operations tire now confined to working biirs out of I he bed or channel of tho river. The method pursued is to anchor alongside one of those gravel deposits and Liy the use of scrapers bring the material' to bo handled within the reach of tliegold-washingmachinery with which the craft is rigged. The gravel is scooped ii]) by buckets attached to tin endless chain.\" There tiro forty-eight of those receptacles on a bolt sixty feet in length, and each has a capacity of about twenty pounds of dirt, which is delivered into a hopper. This is also an agitator, and the process employed may be described as ;i steam rocker, with the exception that it has an end motion instead of one sidowise. Tho gold is caught on copper plates with quicksilver. The tailings are carried on in sluice boxes by the force of a stream of witter of loO miners inches, supplied by a China pump, run by tho engine which drives till the other machinery. Tho gravel is worked so thoroughly that no gold escapes in tho tailings that are dumped into the river. An average of 100 tons of'gravel are daily handled, and for this work throe men are employed\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDan engineer, one to work the scraper, and another one who shovels the dirt into a pile so that the buckets can scoop up a full load. Tho biir now being worked covers an area often to fifteen acres. Thegold is on top or close to the surface and will not pay to handle to it greater depth than one foot to eighteen inches. This shows a value of 11 to :J cents a pan. A clean-up is made every night, antl.'the .'average of tho runs for the first three days was very satisfactory to Thornton Williams, the owner of the craft. J1 e says ho expects to take out upward of $100 a day as long as he works, which. will'be until cold weather sets in. When he has gone over the bar which now engages his attention ho will tac'cle another.

Baker anil Josephine Streets, Nelson; B. C. Bamboozling Grandma., An Unstable Boundary Line. \" \roti have heard of smuggling:. I presume.\" remarked a guest at a Boston hotel recently. \"'Well,\" lie continued, \"f ra-11 against the most stupendous scheme in that line last .summer I ever heard of. You tire doubtless aware that ordinary every day smugglers are content to transport their goods over the line from one country lo another, tho object being, of course, to. evade the payment of tlie customs duties. The people with whom I came in contact were superior to such common methods, which might do for low pirates and outlawed brigands, but not for a live, wideawake Yankee, and .especially a Canadian Vankee. They didn't move the goods. They moved the line. \"'L'p in the furthest easterly part of .Maine there comes a place where Maine stops and New.Brunswick begins. Tlnit is the boundary line between the two countries. That is also where the Canadian Y'ankees spoken of have their homes. They tire naturally given to farming,some of these people, and even if McKinley-did put u duty-on grain, poultry, and other things, it didn't make tiny difference with some of the.sturdy yeomen who livealong- side the line. The publication of the news of the passage of the tariff bill didn't cause them tt moment's uneasiness. They simply went on raising their Canadian wheat and- their Canadian oats. At the sa.ine time they kept their eyes on the boundary line\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhat they couid see of it. The visible portion of \"this remarkable boundary consisted of upright iron posts, set at intervals of one mile through the land. Not being clinched on the other side of the earth, these posts are responsive to influences placed on them on the Canadian side. Jn other words, they .can be taken up and reset. \"About the, time these honest and upright farmers over the line have their crops in condition to harvest a peculiar thing happens. Some dark night a half- dozen of them go coon hunting, and when they return to their liresides they are on American soil, they and their grounds, and with them the crops. The boundary Ji 11c has moved and is located a half mile or so further toward the Art-tic ocean. These guileless tillers of the soil then dispose of their products at l'nited States prices, and some time during the winter, in some unknown manner, the boundary line takes a backward leap, leaving them again on Canadian soil.\" \"There never was a grandma half so good!\" ^Ile whispered while'Reside her.chair he stood, And laid his rosy cheek.
