AUGUST 86th 1911 No 34 Cranbrook Herald Poses as a Political God What are we coming to when the Political News of every paper in the Province is False Isolation is what it Deserves In the last week's Issue ol the. Ci anbrook Herald a remarkable edl-: torlal appeared In which the editor claims to be inlallible. We publish j the statement exartly as lt appeared \ that our readers wlll be able to Judge lor themselves. HHRALD'S EDITORIAL Despite the tact that the Tories In the Kootenay district control every newspaper published therein, with the sole exception ol the Cranbrook Herald, It appears impossible iur them to contlne tbeir political utterances to a 'air discussion ol the issues. It will probably be impossible (or the Herald to take up and controvert every raise statement made by tbe Tory press in this district throughout the campaign, and in view ol tbe very many misleading statements already appearing in the principal Tory organs ol the Kootenay district, the Herald takes this early opportunity of putting electors on their guard. "The Sole Exception" as It is supposed to te in political circles does not excuse it in any way from being a Liberal supporter, when It poses the whole year In and tbe whole year out as an Independent organ, except during a political campaign. It is absolutely impossible (or a paper to be on both sides ol the (ence at tbe same time—"The Cranbrook Herald." Here are a lew (acts that govern the Reciprocity issue tbe "Herald" says the Tory papers are lying about :— "Liberals ol Canada, especially the "stump speakers are strong en eloqu- "ence and weak on tacts. For in- "stance they apeak ol tbe greater "market which reciprocity Ib going to "give Canada, a market ol 90,000,- "000 people. This sounds well Irom "the platform and reads well In "print—bul what of the (acts ? "According to tbe late census tak- "en In the United States only 20 "per cent, ol the arable land Is under "cultivation. At tbe present time "this 20 per cent, ol arable land Is "producing enough to supply a home "market ol 90,000,000 people, alio a "large margin (or export, what "chance has the farmer of Canada to "place his produce on tbe mar- "kets of the United States ? Tha "20 per cent, of arable land In that "country ls capable ol supplying "both Canada and the United States "wiih farm produce of all kinds. "Now we would ask our Liberal "friends what chance has the Cans- "dian farmer under reciprocity ? "Again, it the balance ol 80 per "cent, of the arable land was under "cultivation in the United Htates un- "der similar conditions to those ex- "istlng at present, it would be cap- "able of supplying (our tiroes the "present population ol the States, or "a total population of 300,000,000 "together with (our times the a- "mount o( the present exports. "Canada fs prosperous, its population growing, we can at present "supply our population of 7,000,0110 "and export some, yet what better "chance will the future bring to the 'Dominion than now exists, without 'reciprocity, "Uncle Sam stands on the southern portals of Canada, looking with 'envious eyes upon tbe immense nat- 'ural resources of the country con- 'sldering how he can obtain thero. 'Reciprocity is the entering wedge to 'annexation; with the whole North 'American continent in his grasp 'Uncle Sam would have the most 'have the most powerful, the most 'resourceful nation in the world. "As a nation builder Canada can 'do its" own building without the aid •of the United States -and WITH- 'OUT RECIPROCITY." Self Interest more than National Interest There Is a letter being spread a- broad purporting to come from Mr. P, Lund, advocating reciprocity. There Ib one thing that the electors of the Kootenay district must take note of, namely, the fact that the P. Lund Lumber Company is strictly an American company, owned by Americans, controlled by Americans, P. Lund being an American must look at the issues of reciprocity through American glasses. The Otis Staples Lumber Company. The Taylor Lumber Company, The Crowther Lumber Company. The Standard Lumber Company. The Yahk Lumber Company. Leask & Johnson Lumber Company, are all successful companies operating in tbe district of the Kootenay tectorial riding and well known to every man, woman and child that has reached the yeara of understanding as being successful and progressive firms tbe owners of which are ardent anti- reclprocltyltes. These firms are strong, in the opinion that reciprocity with the United States would be the most disastrous thing that could occur. Are we then to take the opinion ot one man apparently isolated ln his opinions among the various equally successful lumber companies ? We ask the thoughtful and studious mind to ponder over these PACTS, weigh the assertions that are from time to time being spread around ; thla is not a one man affair or even two.three, or four man but a national and to take it wider still an Im-, perial matter because eventually the results wlll affect the whole of the Empire we so dearly love, remarkable statement that is being Ridiculous Statement that is being spread abroad A statement ls being spread abroad that the duty charged against tbe Importation of tobacco and cigars will, under the reciprocity city pact of tbe Liberal party be entirely removed. Nothing could be wider from the truth and we feel that the greatest publicity should be given to CONTRADICTING such a FALSE STATEMENT. Clearly It la a matter of lgnorai.ee and lor the benefit ol tbe person or persons that began the report we quote tbe rate as It Fall Fair at Athelmar Secretary Tunnycliffe Is Indefatigable in promoting the welfare of the forthcoming fall fair to be held at Athelmere on September 14 and 15.

The auditorium was tilled to overflowing with a most appreciative gathering who listened to the speakers with studied and careful attention. Mr. Q, H.

Pink, Ira Manning, Dr. H. B. Hall, D. J. Blmer, J. B. McDonald and Joseph Hall, In opening the meeting Mr. Thompson said that it gave him great pleasure to introduce the next member for Kootenay, who had been the able representative of this constituency for the pnst three years; that Mr. Goodeve would address the electorate on the great issue of reciprocity, one that every elector should carefully consider. He had been with Mr. Goodeve at his meetings held in Michel and Fernie, where the people were much interested in the question of reciprocity. After hearing his most convincing arguments, the large audience, composed ot miners, had cheered him, and said that they were pleased with Mr. (londeve's remarks on the labor question. Mr. Thompson congratulated the electorate upon their choice of candidates, both being good men. That Mr. Goodeve was a strong man, who in his brief term in the House of Commons has made a splendid reputation, and had made Kootenay known at Otta wa aB no other representative had ever done. That Mr. Goodeve was one of Mr. Borden's lieutenants, and in the next house would he sitting on the right of Mr. Speaker. The sppsker 'then introduced Judrre Joseph Itynn as the tlrst speaker. JUDGE JOSEPH RYAN Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Gentlemen. It Is natural owing to the (act that the Liberal party Is bank- some time since our friend M. A. j wlll receive the benefit? The same Macdonald was good enough to quote ' thing applies to all things, all of me as a Conservative strongly in our raw materials, In the reciprocity lavor o! reciprocity, because I had sense. They have been wanting this said in an interview at Winnipeg, to raw material right and left, tor it Is a representative ql the Winnipeg Tri- a very difficult thing lor the Amerl- bune, "that 1 Ofbught for the mom-1 can people to get raw material at ent that the trade of this country would be benefitted by reciprocity." You will observe, ladies and gentlemen, that, I suid, "I thought the trade would be benefitted." The one thing ladies and gentlemen that can he said in regard to it ls that it _^^^_^_.^^_^^__-. cannot be shipped out ol a country | back bone of reciprocity. But then shipped back again, without moBt extraordinary thing came vastly enhancing its value in bhe process of manufacturing. Of coal, if they get it, they would simply be ftttly one-third greater limn ever previously," The minister stated tlmt the Farmers' Institute and Women's inrtitute movement nil over the province was growing very rnplillj ami that applications lor enrollment were being received by the department in great numbers Irom newly formed institutes. "Both tlie Knruiers' Institute un,l j tlie Women's institutes are doing very goud work," be said, "ami the vcrnitmiit Is doing all it possibly cnn to assist cliuui '-y distributing [bulletins on various subjeuta which are thought likely to prove of value. !The Nelson Women's Institute has done particularly good work and has linrl a great growth in membership during the past two years." !

Mr. Kllison announced, "This does not mean that Mr. Mid- rlieton, whom we regard as one ol onr best horticulturists will be moved.

'There will be a wonderlul production ol fruit in the province this year," said Hon. Mr. Kllison. "Of course there nre places where it the present time, and this Is the rea son that they want reciprocity. What will the Republicans, Democrats, Insurgents and stand-hatter Republicans do for this grand concession. It was naturally expected that the Manufacturers' association was the manufacture It into power, or into gas, or into Liberal Hot Air. Loud and continued applause. But whatever may be said in regard to the question of coal, and the exporting of raw material, it is a proposition that gives but little credit to the Party who is campaigning in favor of putting their own raw material into the United States. Take a man exporting logs. They are subject to customs duties; and these logs realize here in Canada, for the owner and lumberjack a matter of $5 to $7 per thousand feet, after being manufactured Into lumber their value Is enhanced to (20, 185, $30, to $50 per thousand for the better class of lumber. Do you think for a moment thnt tlie people north of the 49th parallel get the benefit of this Increased value. Where Is the money spent ? It Is ln tbe United States. Not in Canada where the logs grow, and they are the ones lhat get the difference between the $7 or $8 up to the $25 or $50 for the logs grown on this side of the line. The Canadian lumbermen cut these logs, the big corporations on the other side of the line manufacture tbem into lumber. That Is the condition—that is the reciprocity in a nutshell. The same thing applies to _^____^_,^_ to pass. Instead of the Manufacturers' Association coming forward and crying down reciprocity, Mr. Henry B. Byrnes, the treasurer of that wonderful institution, the National Manufacturers' Association, who is also the chairman ot the executive committee of the National Tariff campaign association has the following to say regarding reciprocity. I have taken this extract from a magazine called Current Literature, It is certainly a remarkable reciprocity statement, coming from a responsible man the secretary and chairman of the association and committee named. It seems there Is In the world four great commercial nations, Germany, France, England, and the United States, with a population of one and a half million people. The Americans are absolutely out of the race; that is the people are ignorant of foreign trade. It has been accurately stated that we are only stevedores bringing down to tbe ships of thc sea, crude, semi-crude materials for export. Our natural resources tn forests, etc., have heen depleted and will never he restored." Those who are best informed say, that, to the far sighted, this Is a wonderful country, Canada, importing these same materials and our pro ducers are handicapped by the excessive cost of manufacture in the Unit- (Contlnued on Page 8) , ■ li Laurier has given Canada the Worst f Government in the whole world DECLARES JOSEPH MARTIN, M.P., "In my opinion Sir Wilfrid Laurier during thc past 10 or 12 years has given X Canada the worst administration in the whole world." "I know there is more corruption in Canada today than there ever has been." ' "I am ashamed to say that Canada from the standpoint of political morality stinks in the nostrils of the people of the old country." "A verdict in favor of the government in the present election would mean a condonation of this state of affairs."

It is desired that this committee lie made up of ladles from ail sections of the community and not just from any one society. Since July, 1901, there have been 329 children given into the hands of tne society for them to take care of; to every one of us here and should the fact thnt there have been eighteen from Cranbrook it comes borne If for this reason atone, arouse a direct personal interest in the means promulgated, to raise means for the support of this work.

The reporter lind attached no Importance to these movements, knowing, as be did. that till* ruoiif did uot offer hiiv way by whlrh Larsan might es- cupe. Uul. however, when the scoundrel was behind the door which afforded bll last refuge our confusion increased beyond all proportions. Oue might have thought that we had De- come suddenly bereft of our senses. We knocked on the door. We cried out. We I bough I of all his strokes ol genius, uf his marvelous escapes in the pust "lie will escape us! lie wlll get away from u* agulu!" Arthur Uuuce was the most enraged of us ull. Mine. Kdlth, who was cltug- : lug io my arm, drove ber linger mills luto my hand In a paroxysm of nervous fear. None of us paid uuy heed to the l.ady in Hluck and Uobert Uur* tne, who in the midst of this tempest seemed to have forgotten everything— even the clamor und confusion uround them. Neither one dad spoken n word, but Ihey were looking Into euch other's eyes as though tbey had discovered anoiher world-tbe world which Is love. Hut they had nol discovered It; they bad merely round it again, thanks to itouletabille. 'I'he latter bad opened the door of the corridor and summoned the three domestics lo our assistance, 'ihey entered with their rifles, Hut it was axes tbat were needed. The dour waa solid and barricaded wllh heavy bolts. Pere Jacques went out and fetched a beam, which served us us a bartering ra m. Bach ol us exert ed all h is strength, and finally we suw ibe door beginning to give way. Our anxiety was at Its height. When tlie disir had commenced to yield. Itouletubllle directed (be servants to take up tbeir guns, with tbe order, however, thnl the weapons were to be used only lu case It should he Impossible to capture Larsan living. Theu Itouletabille set tils shoulder to the door with one last powerful effort, and as tbe boards, wrenched from their binges, fell In ihe ground, he was the lirsl in enter the room. We followed bim. And behind him, j Upon the threshold, we all halted, stn- ! pelled bv tbe sight which met our eyes. Larsan was tbere. plainly to be I seeu hy vvvry one. Aud this lime! there was no dilliculty In recognizing bim Ile bad removed bis false beard; tie had put aside his "|)ar/.ac musk;" he had resumed ouce more tlie pale, clean shaven face of that Frederic Larsan whom we bad known at the Chateau of Ghl ml ler. And his presence seemed lo till the entire room. lie was lying Innk comfortably In an easy chair in the center of the room and was looking al us wllh his great, calm eyes. Ills arm was stretched along tbe arm of lhe chair, Ills head was resting on the cushion at the back One would have said thai be was giving us an audience and was wailing for us to make known our business. It seemed lo me that 1 con hi even discern an Ironical smile on bis lips. Houletabllle advanced toward him, "Larsan," be .said In a voice which was not quite sleady-"Lursan, do you give yourself up?" But Larsan did not reply. Then Itouletabille touched the man's face aud his hand, and we saw that Larsan wus dead. Itouletabille pointed to n ring on the middle linger. The collet was opeu and showed a hollow cup which was empty. It must have conlui""d a deadly poison. The Kidneys Wear Out Arthur Kanee [nit bis bead against the man's chest and assured us that all was over. And ltniilettibille en treated os to leave him alone lu the square tower and to try to forget the terrible events which had passed there. "I will charge myself with everything," be asserted gruvely. "Uere is tba 'body too many.' No one will inquire Into the disposition which may | be made of It." Antl he gave ao order to Walter Which Arthur Itance translated iuto English. "Walter, bring me the sack which you found at tbe Custltlon yesterday." Theu be made u gesture to which we , were all obedient—a gesture of dts- missal. And we left (be son fuce to face with tbe corpse of the father. The next moment we saw that M. ' Darzac was swooning, and we were Obliged to curry hlin Into Old Hob's l sitting room. But It was only a passing falntness, and soon he opened his eyes again a°d smiled at Matbllde ' wheu he saw her beautiful face bending over bim with the look of dread In which we read the fear of losing her beloved husband ut tbe very moment la which she bad, through a chain of circumstances which still remained Wrapped lu mystery, found him again. He succeeded lu convincing tier that his life was uot in any danger, and he ; added his entreaties to those of Mme Kdlth that she would go away for a little while aud try to get no me rest When the two women bad left us, Arthur Ranee and myself turued over our attention to our fileud. For how- could a mau whom all of us had be- Iteved to be dead and wbo bad beeu, with the deuth rattle lu his throat, tied up lu a suck and carried uway have been able to rise again and step down living from the fateful panel* Uut when we bad opened his shirt and discovered the bandage which hid the wound that be bore lu bis breast we recognized that this lujury was not a very serious one. The ball which had struck Darzac iu the midst of the savage tight which be had been obliged to make against Larsan had planted Itself iu tlie sternum, causing a bad external hemorrhage and weakening the entire organism, but fortunately suspending none of the vital functions. As we finished the lask of dressing tbe wound I heard steps In the corridor and u st ramie noise—the sound that one bears when a body Is carried away on a stretcher. And I thought of Larsan and of the sack which was holding now for the second time "the body too many." Leaving Arthur Itance to watch over M. Darzac. I hurried to the window. I had not been mistaken. I beheld the sinister funeral cortege In tbe court outside, tt was nearly nightfall. A gathering gloom surrounded everything. Moving ouwaro iu tne uirei-uuu ot the oubliette. 1 saw Uouletubllle and Pere Jacques- two dark shadows bend- lug over another shadow—a shadow which I recognized and which on tbut other nlgbt of horror I haa* believed to contain another dead body, 'i'he sack Beamed heavy. The two men were scarcely able to lift It to the edge of the shaft. And I could see that the little passageway was open-yes, (be heavy wooden closed it had been removed and wus i lying oo tbe ground. Itouletabille leap* ed lightly over (he edge of the oubliette and (ben made a step downward. Me showed uo hesitation. The way' seemed to be familiar to bim. In a few moments bis figure vanished from sight. Tben Pere Jacques pushed the sack Info the passageway and leaned over the edge, apparently still holding on to his burden, wblcb 1 could no longer sec. stone wllh heavy blows the rcul Lar- I sen lost his disguise as he straightened i the stooping shoulders of Ibe scholar I aud flourished (he cane with the vigor ' of a true bandit. j Ouly one other person noticed tha I startling transformation and allowed !

Another isse of remarkable aell-poss asion and cooluess occurred in Paris two years ago, the victim ou that occasion bciiiw a jeweler. A well-dressed man. carry- u.g a gold-headed walking-stick, entered the jeweler's shop, and was looking at some scarf-pins, when two men cume in aud arrested him, explaining to the jeweler that he was a "crook, ' and that, as police officers. they must take away witli them the trays of jewelry Irom which they said their prisoner had stolen various articles. They entered a tsxicab and drove off with a rich haul The jeweler never saw tlie "oflicers" or their prisoner again. Again, in 1908, Mr. Angus Forbes, of Montreal, lost $5,000 in the train between Paris and Calais, aud Miss Alice Miller of Montrose was robbed ol her jewels at a Paris terminus. There is a regular clearing-house for stolen jewels in more than one Continental city, and very few gems are recovered. In 11KJU the "Princess of Thieves," a handsome Belgian woman, who hrd lived many years in Chicago, came to London, and by the clever substitution of a dummy while inspecting a p'-arl and diamond necklace, worth $10,000, it Christie's, managed to secure the valuable. Another woman, arrested iu 1909 in Paris, with two Russians and an American, always wore a satin robe with a long, deep pocket when visiting jewelers' shops, to fi'hich she always drove in an expensive motor-car. In a gang caught in Paris in 1909 was a women who used to take the booty to the French capital for disposal. It waa stated at the trial 'hat they had got ■ rid of gems worth $200,000. The pro- fltable nature of this traffic is also shown by the boast ol a Spanish woman, arrested at Aix-les-Bains, that she had made $16,000 a year for five years.—The People. Why Bread Causes Fat. .Whit" bread is fattening because we rarely ditrest it completely. Starchy foods are quite unaffected by the gastric juices which digest the meats. Their digestive lerments are obtained chiefly frum the saliva in the mouth, which therefore should be thoroughly mixed with each mouthful before swallowing. But white bread is so soft aud lacking in substuncc that we unconsciously swallow it long before it has had a fair chance to become sufficiently permeated with the digestive saliva. The result is delayed digestion (if digestion takes place at all), and at the best the starch is very apt to be converted into disfiguring, unwanted and unhealthful fat.—London Mail.

At the Alumni dinner in Toronto recently, President Falconer related an interesting story about the way Toronto University received its latest letraey.

A visitor wa*. announced—a Mrs. Martinet, whose name was quite unfamiliar to him. The president told the maid to u*k her if she could not come to see him 'ater in the week. However the ludy insisted thnt she wanted to see him then and now. "I've come a thousand •niles to meet the president of Toronto University," said she. So President Falconer went down to the reception room to interview 'lis visitor. The lady explained that •he was an American, whose husband had died recently. "My husband," aid she, "wus during his lifetime rrently interested in Canada and was <artioulurly impressed with the fine vork being done by the University of Toronto. He followed its progress vith the deepest interest nnd often •xpresaed the wish thnt he could do something to associate his uume with it. He died intestate, hut, kiiowitnf his wishes in the mutter, I want to '»ffer you some money, which might he used in any wuy you I naught well to perpetuate hi* memory in your university.

I The Grits on the tlrBt hand claim that it is impossible to defeat Sir Wilfrid. ftnd point fo Quebec H(« bis j stronghold, nnd rightly so, On the other hand the Conservative 68 claim that the defeat of Hir Wil- Ifrid is possible, and will be aCCOnV pllshed by the opponents of reciprocity. I Can Sir Wilfrid be defeated 7 I ('an .Sir Wilfrid he defeated 7 The Prospector answers "Yes," and pros [ents the following statistics to sub stantlatc its claim. in 1900 the total vote cast in the Dominion of Canada was 1.176.104, ' j nf this vote the Libera.*- received 1587.064—40.98 per cent, of tbe total VOtQ, The Conservative!) received 568,577, ir 47,91 per cent, of the Vote cist. The Independents received 27.893, r 2.11 per rent, The Conservative majority outside f Quebec wbh 803. Laurler's majority lu Quebec alone K. H. Haniard, M.P., of Victoria, has received the Conservative nomination for Victoria, his opponent be. ins; Hon. William Templeman. Tbe return-; on September 2lst will ai\- □ounce the defeat ol one of Laurier'b cabinet, It is freely predicted that Minister of 6*1 nance Fielding will be defeated in his own county. In '.Juehee. Laurier, through his naval policy seems to have lost his grip on the people, and the Indications are that the Conservatives and Independents will make very substantial gains. H. Forget has announced that he will run in two constituencies, and has challenged Sir Wilfrid Laurier to run in either one. Ontario, both in the rural and city municipalities, are bitterly opposed to tbe reciprocity pact, and it is freely conceded that R. L. Borden will bave a largely increased number nf supporters from that province in tbc next house. Hon. Frank Oliver will be defeated in Alberta. Tbnt JtiO.OOO ia the blow that killed the Ho'n. Frank, find defeats another cabinet minister. Dr. J. H. King has been nominated by the Liberals to contest Kootenay. On the outside, throughout the riding, the question Uf being asked, "Who is Dr. J. H. King." It h? reported that the Ottawa machine has expressed the sinews of war, and that they were received Tuesday at Cranbrook. Some unkind people say that it amounts to 400,000, and people are asking, "Where did the money come from." Dominion voting lists werc received at Cranbrook Monday by the Liberal campaign committee. Conservatives can now get one. This might have been an unfortunate incident of the campaign, were It not for the fact, that the Conservatives had a copy of the lists as revised on May 30th. 1911, and had over 100 lists printed, and delivered two weeks ngo. The election campaign is under full headway throughout Canada, and already, conventions have been held all though the election was sprung sud- over the province and Conservative candidates nominated in every con- -tituencv. The annexation speeches in thc American congress are being emphasized by the Conservative party and hundreds of thousands of pamphlets containing extracts therefrom have been distributed in the provinces settled by United Empire loyalists and re- eent comers from Kngland. The loyalists also nre making a point of displaying the British Hag to stimulate patriotism. Liberal speakers declare that talk of annexation will have no effect in influencing voters. Riven Mr. Borden ban declined to make this campaign an attack on the 15 yearn' record of the government. Instead nf muckraking lie wlll win or lose on the reciprocity Ishiis alone. Dismemberment of The Empire Vancouver, B.C.—premier McBride Mho attended the I lord nomiuatlou meeting thus far in thc campaign, that in his native eity ol New Westminster, in supporting the re-nomination of J. D. Taylor, M.I',, made his most Vigorous speech against reciprocity. An enthusiasm- and largely attended convention cheered him to the echo wlu'ii in sounding u warning against Canada's adoption of 'he proposed treaty be said "I llrmly believe tlie present politi cal issue is one which it carried out according to the views ol the Liberal government must lend in the course ol a few yenrs to the dlsinombormont of the empire and contusion with tin* United States. This is au emphatic and very serious statement to make, i bold oitice uuder the crown, i wanl to be as tine aud consistent with my position as possible and I feel that in the crisis In this emer goncy— if I do not ■ terl every effort I possibly could to Induce people to think along the lines 1 Imve -narked out, i should not lie true to the stewardship given me bj the elector ate which l now Snjoy," Replying to critics ol it. I. Dord en tlmt the OoHMTVatlVes years Ago favored reciprocity, the premier said. "This is it very weak argument in respect to the attitude ol the Con senatives K0 years ago. because con dlttons in Canada have changed and markedly so, within thai period. There is no question that there was n tune in the history ol our national development when Canadians were knocking at the doors ol the United States. We were looking for the in dustrlal development essential to na tlonal progress and prosperity; we were looking then for markets for the (armors of oui country that they were in need of, anil wc did apply to the l'uited States for restricted red proeity in vain. We were not known to Uncle Sam tbeu. Today we are I known as the most wonderful and most resourceful section ol the (known world. No wonder then it pleases the L'uited States to come to as now. We hnve discovered for our Helves and not for them the wealth we hold. They want to help us; yes not only to help us but to have us too." The premier contrasted conditions in Canada with those in the United States. It was n comparison not favorable to Uncle Sam whose store house of raw material was now well within confined limits. He added : "There is absolutely no question tbat within the next few yenrs whether they like it or not, they must come to Canada for raw materials. That being the case there is absolutely no necessity why we should take down our tariff walls. On the contrary, there is every reason why, if possible, we should build them higher than ever." After quoting President Taft, Champ Clarke and J. J. Hill, the premier made the declaration that reciprocity, if carried out, meant Canada's severenco from the empire and fusion with the United Btates. But be believed British Columbia anj the rest of the Dominion would on Sept. 21 stand by the homeland nnd flag. Mr. Taylor declared that thc prospects of a Conservative government at Ottawa were never brighter. The Laurier government was In power solely by nn overwhelming majority from Quebec. Outside of that province they were in a minority of four throughout Canada. Goodeve to Tour Columbia Riding A.

London Morning Post on Borden The London Morning Post, England eulogizing Hon. II. l„ Uorden upon hiB Imperialistic sentiments and tendencies, states thnt It is thc destiny of the British Umpire to develop and guard the freedom of the people who repose beneath the Union Jack. "Oanada was rapidly developing In lo a national unit with railways to link the east with thc west. Canada was learning to work up her raw materials into the tlniHhed articles nnd was achieving fiscal independence nil under the shadow ol imperial power and by virtue of Imperial connection. It is against the disappearance of these Influences that Mr. Borden leadB his forces with the united power rrf Canadian nationalism anil imperialism behind him.

Uut if anything ti can sny personally will assist you lu your good work, then I shall be pleased, The more I travel the more T am convinced that British Columbia Is one of thc most attractive countries In the world. lt Ims everything needed—a charming and health-giving climate, magnificent scenery, land for fruit growing nnd general farming, raw materials for manufacturing, railways, inland waterways, nn extensive seaboard, nnd a hearty welcome to Urltish settlers and business men. The development of the adjoining Prairie Provinces gives fruit growers an ever-expanding market (or their produce, and horticulture, already an importnnt industry, is attracting many settlers from all parte, a largo proportion of a tine type coming from England. Mined fanning and grain growing offers a ilold for the agriculturist, and the opening up of new distiicts by railway companies will make additional tracts of suitable available for settlement. Our mineral resources are of siderable value, and include two essentials for manufacturing—Iron and coal. As I told thc Canadian Manufacturers' Association, the greatest coalfield, of, British Columella, or ol Canada, ie the Rocky Mountain coalfield, of which 80 per cent, ls in British Columbia and 20 per cent. In Alberta. The, present British Columbian gross output of coal for the whole province is 2,4011,000 tons, and at this rate of production East Kootenay coalfields can keep up this supply for 15,000 years. Dr. Henry S. Pooie, in the employ of thc ecological Survey, says in his report as to coal still remaining In the Vancouver Island coalfields: "Of the (liiantlty of coal exceeding two feet in thickness within a vertical depth of 4,000 feet an estimate of 600,- 000,000 tons would Beem conservative' This does not Include othcr promising fields In Kast Kootenay, Northern British Columbia, and Peace River. The estimated coal in thc Rocky Mountain coalfields is no less than 44,130,000,000 tons, of which some 36,000,000, or 81 per «cnt. of of the whole, Is in British Columbia, all of it available from the vnlley of the Elk River. With such an enormous extent of conl it is quite reasonable to presume thnt thc Eastern part of, British Columbia, from its coalfields alone, ia destined to be the Pennsylvania of tbo Pacific Const. Our timber nnd pulp wood resources nre also of considerable extent, as is well known Then, again, tiie fisheries of the const give employment of ninny millions. The opening of the Panama Canal will mean much to the progress ot thc province. British Columbia Is a gateway to tho East, and has the mighty markets of China and Japan on the other Bide of the ocean. With bo many blessings from Nature, do you wonder at our optimism and our assurance ol a bright future. '! As a field of investment British Columbia offers mnny advantageous facilities, and, as I have already said, we welcome British capital, but some of the "propositions" thnt occasionally find their way to tho London markot from British Columbia can hardly be described ns of tho soundest. Thc provindnl Government is anxious to safeguard the Interests of capital, but unfortunately we cnnniu prevent Irresponsible mcii (rom ondonvourlng to foist eiiunlly Irresponsible schemes upon the British public. It is lor the British investors themselves to thoroughly Investigate the reliability of financial proposals and to secure Independent reports where possible, The province offers mnny facilities for the Bnfe nnd remunerative employment ol rap- tal nnd all that is needed on the part of Investors Ib ordinary caution and discrimination. ***************************************** Pound!

ALFRED DRYDBN, Name of Applicant. Dated July 27th, itrl M-fit That British Columbia timber has ■ become a steadily appreciating asset | Is now a truism. The recent flotation of two companies, with large capital, for the specific purpose of exploiting certain timber limits in that Province of the Dominion affords an apt Illustration of the present attitude of the City to this article. It must be confessed that, as is too often tbe case, London's financiers have been backward in discerning the value of Columbian timber, one of the Empire's most valuable properties. Meanwhile American capital has not neglected this great opportunity. For years past citizens of the United States interested in timber, and even outside speculators with some capital to lock up, have been quietly but steadily buying up timber limits in British Columbia. What is more, these American purchasers seem disposed to firmly hold such standing timber as they have acquired for the inevitable rise which witl take place within quite a measureable period. No doubt an exact estimate of the actual extent of those American holdings is difficult to form, but tbose wtth an inside knowledge of the timber situation in British Columbia variously estimate the amount of timber limits held by American capitalists at from 50 to 75 per cent, of the total timber area. These are large figures, but many good judges look on 50 per cent, as an underestimate of tbe quantity of timber actually in American hands. The United States is certainly a rich country ln all senses of that term. It boasts several millionaires whose fortunes run into many millions sterling, but it would be a grave error to suppose that America is a land abounding ln loose cash. There Is still bo much work to do in the United States In the way of exploiting her great natural resources that American capital is not readily invested outside the land of the Stars and Stripes. Tt is no doubt true that the American investors in Columbian timber have secured an excellent property at an easy price, hut collectively the American dollars Invested in British Columbia timber must represent a very targe sum, and hitherto this capital has heen practically idle. That one fact should stamp British Columbian timber as a first-class investment for tbe man who can afford to sink a certain amount of capital and wait for his returns. The Importance of tliis subject lias heen so borne in upon us that we have devoted many articles in this section of the Financial News to the exposition of thc British Columbian timber position, and we are mire our readers will peruse with great. Interest thc following remarks whloh the Premier of British Columbia (the Hon. Richard McBride, K.C.)-now one of our welcome Oversea guests - lias been good enough to address to n representative of this journal. Be ferrlng to the timber limits of British Columbia, the Premier Bald:— "Men thoroughly conversant with the timber position today on the North American continent are a unit in believing that British Oolumbla now holds thc last great stand of timber left—that Is to say in no oth er part of that continent wilt you find such an extensive belt of valuable virgin timber as still exists In British Columbia. Perhaps it would be difficult to convey to people In this country a flinr idea of the place which timber holds in the economic life of Canada, and, let me add, of pur neighbors In the United States. Wood ls the raw material of many industries which hnve hardly got a counterpart in the United Kingdom. Timber enters more largely into the construction of our homes than is tlie case here, and tbis is true of every part of our habitations, from thc boards of the floors to the shingles on the roofs. Our railways consume an immense quantity of timber, antl you must not forget that Canada ts on the road to, perhaps, better the example set by her neighbor in thc building of great transcontinental railways. One great line already stretches from the Atlantic to Vancouver, on the Pacific, while two other .railways which are spanning the entire breadth of the Continent will soon ho there, to say nothing of the line which is approaching its terminus at Prince Rupert. The mere rolling stock of those railways makes an appreciable demand for timber, to say nothing of the sleepers, of which the life if not by any menus unlimited. I should say that tlie one item of sleeper renewal on the railroads of Canada and of the United States must alone exert a sensibly hardening influence on the value of lumber. Then think of the enormous demand which the constant increase of our great cities and the building of new cities must exert on the timber market. In the three Prairie Provinces of the Dominion, stretching, as they do, for hundreds of miles, from Winnipeg to the foot of the Rockies, new and handsome cities nave heen springing up within thc past few years as if by magic. The growth in population of several ot these Prairie citieB is measured within a very few years by hundreds per cent. This movement is not showing any signs of slackening, hut, on the contrary, the growth of our new cities iu the West is accelerated year by year hy the ever-rising tide of emigration from Eastern Canada, from all parts of the United States. and from Europe. Vou may say that every fresh homestead tbat ts broken up by thc eager settler calls, directly of indirectly, for the cutting of so much Btumpage. Hut the Prairie Provinces, rich as tbey me in almost everything which civilized man can desire, are practically tim her less, They must, have timber, aud plenty of It, from somewhere; an things are, their only store house is Hritish Columbia, In Eastern Canada the lumbermen have been busy too busy, perhaps for a quarter of a century past, and limits in the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario which were worth not mole than a couple of dollars, nay, llltccn years ago, would fetch $12 to $H today per 1.000 feet on the stump. Hut in Hritinh Columbia there is still a great store of standing timber, moat of it of quality unattainable else where. "At tlrst sight, it might seem strange thnt such a halt of standi in: timber should be left In our province and be obtnlnnble nt such reasonable figures. But the explanation is simple enough. To begin with, we nre a young province, in this sense— (that till recently our means of com munication with Eastern Canada and with our neighbours in the south were limited. Today all thla Is altered, tt will he but a short ttme before our coast cities will be the western gateway of the British Empire, in direct railway communication with every part of the North American continent. The tonnage of our shipping hns grown hy leaps within the past decade, but what hounds can be put to its development in the near future when the Panama (.'anal will afford a ready passage between the two great oceans ot thc world? Of course, I cannot fix the exact day, but this revolution in the world's commerce cannot uow be delayed many years; probably the news that the tirst vessel has passed through the Canal will he hashed to all points of the globe within tour years. "It is easy to see what eflect this must exercise on our groat timber industry. It hns heen said that the uctive interest lately token by American capital in our timber limits lias been largely stimulated by an idea, current on i the othcr side of the border, that some sort of reciprocal arrangement between Canada and her neighbour was imminent. I fancy there is a good deal of exaggeration in this view. Less than six months ago few American financiers, I believe, would have gambled on reciprocity, to use one of their current terms. The fact is that, quite apart from any question of reciprocity, it has been obvious for some years that the day was fast approaching when the United States, with nearly 100,- 000,000 people, would sutler something like a timber famine. Without adopting the extreme view that in twenty years no timber at all will be left iu the United States, it is a fact that within the past few years sawmills in the once well-wooded State of Minnesota have had to be shut down because the country tributary to tbem had been absolutely denuded of timber. The plant of thoBe mills represented an investment of millions of dollars. The forests of Michigan have all but disappeared. Within very few years the valuable cedar limits of thc southern belt of the l'uited States will he gone. The last great standing belt of timber left to the North American continent is found in the Pacific Province of British Oolumbla, and I am glad to think thnt our reserves of this valuable article will last us, with proper care in conservation, for generations yet. "But while I thoroughly believe In i his. our great asset, I should be sorry to think that people here were about to plunge Into timber speculation without taking the ordinary precautions which every man ol husiness observes when ho is investing his money. Standing timber in British Columbia today is undoubtedly cheap at the price -cheap, that is, relatively to thfl market value of timber, frequently of less valuable quality, In other parts of North America. But whoever oilers a timber limit, eve'n lu Hritish Columbia, makes a business proposition which must he treated on strict business lineB. All our timber limits are not'of the same value—that stands to reason. The variety of the timber and, again, its situation from the lumberman's point of view are essential factors In determining Its value." THK PKOSPECTOfc. CllANimOOK.

"By all your talk I reckon she would, 1 a'pose I might as welt do it. though." at-'ceed Lorenzo as a sop to lis ruther burdened conscience, I-ute that afternoon a rejuvenated Daisy, as white as the simple tt< wer for which she was named, was turned Into the daisy grown meadow to caper awkwardly about on her singularly trim Feet. The blue ribbon rt.i tidied above her astonished gut id eye and gave her a decidedly rakish appear- ance, but Willi her knees hidden lu the clover and daisies she looked very handsome as she moved slowly lo nnd fro, nipping daintily with her woro teetli aud soft white nose. Jacob Keeue stood afar and looked on her suow white form wltb tears In hts eyes and wns not ashamed. To him she wns tbe one horse he hnd always desired, nnd uow she wou d uever be bis.

Wasserman, ended a series of experiments which made it absolutely [his- lible to distinguish human blotid- itaius. Hitherto there had been tests but they had never made the result a sertulnty, The serum test, as it is known, is the last word. It Is absolute. The experiments which are usually made to discover whether stains are uf human blood number six. They are: 1. Gross examination. 2. Microscopical examination. 3. Qylae test. 4. Haemin test. i Spectroscopic test. 6. Serum test. The gross examination requires an Intimate knowledge uf the manner in which it coagulates and the change*? in appearance which are visible tithe naked eye, such as changes in color. Iron rust very frequently resembles dried blood, but it seldom presents a dark red and glazed appearance. Knives used to cut acid fruits may present dark reddish stains, but these contain vegetable cells colored with iron salts. By the microscope, which is the second test tlie absence of red blood cells is noted. This entails a knuwledge ot the comparative morphology of cells and the process of staining them properly for examination. If the blood is dry it Is sometimes rather difficult to restore the red celfs A great variety of expedients are suggested, and if une fails another may succeed. Selecting some part of the blood clot which has dried rapidly, a portion \i scraped off with a clean knife. This substance ia transferred to a glass slide. To thia Bhould be added one or two drops of a fluid which will isolate the coherent cell*" and tend to restore their original form. The specimen Uien ia covered with a cover-glass. There are various fluids used to Isolate the coherent cells. When they are isolated t e cells an measured. At one time this measurement was the one way in which human blood cells were distinguished (rom those of other mammals. The determination of the sice of these cells was for long one of the most essential as well as difficult problems of the medico-legal department. This teat, however, has been reduced to a secondary position since the introduction of the serum test, as being much leas certain. In extremely minute stains, however, it is the only practicable teat. Hy the gross and microscopical examination tiie investigator should be fairly certain whether the stain is Unit of blood or not. To make certainty surer, however, there is the guiacum test. The substance under examination is treated with guiacum and old oil of turpentine. If it gives a blu • color it is quite safe to assume thut it is blood. . .ere is still a further test and this ii a standard une, the haemin test It depends un Uie formation of certain characteristic crystals of hacma- tin. These crystals cannot be mistaken fur any other object in nature occurring under the same conditions. lhe method followed is to take a small portion uf the substance, supposed to be blood and place it on a glass slide. It is then moistened with a drop of 8 per cent, solution ot common salt or a dilute solution of iodide of potassium. Hy a gentle heat Uie mixture is dried. A cover glass is then put on and a drop of glacial acetic acid is run under the glass. The specimen is then gently heated until bubbles of acid appear, at which temperature it is held until the acid is slowly and completely evaporated, uy this procedure the blood pigment is dissolved by the acid, and combined by the chlorine ot the salt Ui lorm the hymchloride or tlie anhyride ot haemetin which crystallizes on evaporation.

CHAMCtS FUH CHA CtLLORS. Curious Offers ta Public Parsenages te Go On Stage. A statesman in the position of Mr. Lloyd-George receives many curious communications, hut it ia not likely i that au odder one ever reached him j thau a cable message, uttering him the princely salary of *.>.tna> a week ' tu go upon the stage. I lt is hardly necessary to it ate that j the offer emanated from America. A ' lir tu of music-hall proprietors guaranteed the Chauc-dlor a minimum of live thousand dollars a week—or ten times the salary he draws as Chancellor of the Exchequer—to deliver a speech nightly on subjects connected I with the political situation in Hritalu. Other men, hu'vever, have not lum ■ ed deaf ears to such offers Mr. llun i nable, for Instance, once candidate for J arrow, tie appealed as a music-hall ; artiste un >>ie static of a London hall.

In England, France, and Germany tea is made in much the same plebeian way; but in other countries the method of enjoying the cup which cheers is a more picturesque ceremony. In China, for example, a large, artistic cup is set in a brass or silver holder, and in this cup the tea is placed and covered with boiling water. A little saucer which just fits it is placed inside the cup to keep in the steam and flavor of the tea. When it is drawn it Is poured from the big cup into dainty little ones no bigger than an eggshell, The method followed iu Japan is almost similar. Tea-making in Russia is a simple process involving merely the use of a samovar and a slice of lemon or of lime. In Java tea is served in broad, flat cups, and flavored with Batavia arrack; and in Formosa it is steeped with tea-flowers and one or two orange-flowers. For their tea-drinking the Uruguayans employ silver tubes, each of which has at the end a ball-like strain* er known as a bomba or bombilla. In Martinique an aromatic tea is used, and a peculiar liqueur made by tlie monks and by the old French housewives is added. "LINE CLEAR 1* How Accidents Are Avoided When Royalty Travels by Train. The coronation ceremonies have cast enormous responsibilities on the railway companies, aud especially on the main lines iu the soutn, running direct into Loudon. For a considerable lime now scarcely a day has passed without one or other uf the railways being entrusted with Uie carriage ut some illustrious visitor and his retinue, whose personal safety is an im* portant question. ln the working of royal trains safety is naturally the tlrst consideration, and the most elaborate precautions dealing in detail with every phase of railway working are issued to all hav* iug auy connection with the working of the train, and these are supposed to be kept strictly private. Primary ! importance is attached to signalling, | and whenever a royal train is heing worked all signal-boxes on tha route, and all intermediate block-posts, which, in the ordinary course, would ( be closed, ara opened, and wherever necessary the signals are lighted a , considerable time before the "pilot'' | is due, aud remain so until the royal : train has passed. ; All goods trains are cleared of the main Tines at least halt au hour be- j fore tlie royal train, is duo to pass, and all shunting operations on sidings aud contiguous lines aro suspended. drivers of trains standing in sidings or adjoining lines are strictly instructed tu prevent their engines from emitting smoke; steam is not to be blown off, and whistling is prohibited. Station-masters aro charged with ths placing ot reliable men at facing points over which the train will run, thirty minutes before its timed ar* rival, and they remain at the spot until It has passed. The facing points are carefully examined, securely clip* pod and padlocked soon after the pilot nas passed, and signal-boxes are visited to ascertain that the signalmen ara fully acquainted with the special instructions. Thc greatest vigilance is observed at, and adjacent to, all sta* tions through which the royal train fiasses, Approach road gates and gates eadlng to goods yards and sidings are closed and locked before the "royal" ts due, and the station-master holds the keys until the train has traveled a good distance from thc station. Naturally, great discrimination is exercised in the selection of the drivers of "royals." Men of undoubted steadiness and experience, and with a perfect knowledge of the route, are alone selected.

Until the time of the Emperor Nicholas I. the English "God Save the King" had served Russia, but Nicholas determined to institute a genuine and native Russian anthem. He announced a competition, open to alt musicians, for an original national hymn. A musical committee reduced the thousands of entries to two, and between these, the works of Glinka and Lvoff, the czar himself decided, The highly martial character, with the drums and trumpets, of Lvuff's composition won the imperial verdict, and it was decreed as henceforth the Russian national anthem.

Lord Cross enjoyed the intimate confidence of the late Queen Victoria, and it is his happiest recollection that he defeated Mr. Gladstone in Southwest Lancashire. "Blasted Hopes.** The recent marriage of Lord Linlithgow to the daughter uf Sir Frederick George Milner reminds one of an amusing story which is told apropos of his lurdsn.ps family name of Hope. A large family party one Sunday was attending Divine service, when the minister, preaching on earthly vanity, opened his discourse with the observation, "This world is full ot blasted hopes." Lord Linlithgow's father was Uie first Governor-General of the Commonwealth, and gained much popularity "down under" by his unconventional, democratic ways, it being his custom to ride through the country attired iu regular bush "get-up"—colored shirt, breeches, top bouts, and slouch hat.

The Wrong House. The Princess Royal (Duchess of Fife), although she is far from fond of society, is un indefatigable chaperon, this season taking her two young daughters, the Princesses Alexandra and Maud, to many of the important balls. Those who have the privilege of visiting the duchess ut her house in Portman square say she lathe kindest of hostesses, and that it is at home she is seen to tlie greatest advantage. A couple of years ago the friends of Her Royal Highness were telling of an incident which took place one.Sunday ut her town house. A man came to pay a duty cull on a hostess whom he knew very slightly who lived in that quarter, and had given him an invitation to dinner which he was unable to accept. He was shown straight into a drawing-room where three ladies sat at tea, euch of whom greeted him courteously. A footman handed him tea, and his hostess came and Bpoke to him, By slow degrees the atranger began to realize that he had come to the wrong house, and that the three ladies he sat among were'no other than the then Queen of England and her daughters, the Duchess of Fife and Queen Maud of Norwuy. Astonished an Official. An amusing incident is recorded of the time when King Gustuv of Sweden, who is famous for his modesty, attended tlie wedding of his son with Princess Margaret of Connaught at Windsor n few years ago. King Gustuv stipulated that he should be allowed to remain in the background as much as possible. In order to escape the crowd, he slipped out of his rooms at the Castle by a side entrance and made his way on foot to St. George's Chapel, where the ceremony took place. Arriving at thc entrance, he was contrronted by one of the Court officials who was assisting to show the congregation to their seuts. The ofllcial contemplated him gravely fot a moment, and then suid: "I beg your pardon, sir, but I don't recognize you. Who might you be, and where would you like to sit?"

Many horses get tiieir names in quite a haphazard way.

Many owners, too, have a craze fur aldterativc mini"*, and these general* ly find favor witli the public. Amain/ tnem nny be recalled Tommy Tittle* mouse, the last mount of the most famous of all jockeys, Fred Archer. Then then* were tnose well-known horses, Pretty Polly and Blink Bonny. Some years ago everyone was talk* i..g' about Lord Abingdon's Pot-8-O's, a horse which won a nun.oer of races, and was sire of two Derby winners. Lord Abingdon offered oue day, When on a visit to his trainer, one of the stable-bcys live shilling: if he could spell the name Potatoes—which he had previously iixed upon—correct- ly. The boy was puzzled Inr a minute, but, taking a piece of chalk, lie scrawled on the corn-bin "Pot-8-O's." which ao amused his lordship that he altered his own spelling to suit the stable-boy's, as well as giving him the five shillings for his ingenuity. Quarrelsome lovers may take a tip from the naming of I.conciliation, whose sire and dam wen Love Wisely and Sulks! Another ('-loverly-named horse was Chestnut Sunday, by Bush- ey Park and May Race. It will be recalled that May is the time for the Londoner's visit to see the gorgeous chestnuts in flower in Bushey Park. Mr, John Ccrlett, the well-known newspaper owner, christened oue of his horses Let Go the Painter. The sire was Velasquez, named after the great Spanish painter, nnd the dam was Torpedo; so an apte> name could hardly have been choseit. His late Majesty King Edward VII. was very particular about the christening of his horses. That famous hor3e, Diamond Jubilee, vas so named at the express wish of Q teen Alexandra, in ooni'^. moration rf the jubilee of Queen victoria. King Edward's flrst Derky winner, Pel sFmmon, received its name .y a simple combination of those of hit sire ind dam, St. Si.iion and Perdita II. The late Duke of De\onshire was responsible for a clever name when he chose Burgundy, out if Isinglass* Burgonet. Caruso—the hi'rse. not the singer—was a eolt, whose j.arents were St. Fruaquin and Melba. But nowadays horses get nanes that they need not, aB a rule, be ashamed iif. In the past, howevef, the most ridiculous names were kisted upon the long-suffering animals. Here I Go with My Kye Out was an extraordinary one familiar to race-goers of a past generation.

Immense crowds assembled tn sen the pair, and the vehicular traffic was brought to a standstill.

Hennen is the last of the old postboys, and the townspeople of Chatham Sresented the old gentleman wi<h a rand new frock suit and overcoat, and the ladies of the town rigged the bride out iu a beautiful wedding gown.

Paul I., the eccentric Czar ot Kus- siu, assassinated in 1801, was very particular as to his dress and con* aidered trifling matters as of supreme importance. This peculiarity was once taken advantage of by an officer of the guards, Major Vaksci, to wiu a wager. The major, the joker of the army, had bet several hundred rubier) that he would tweak the tail of the emperor's wig ou parade. The next day, the story runs, the emperor happened to be preseut at early parade and, as chance would have it, took position for a moment immediately in front of the daring major. Breathless with excitement and terror, Vaksel's companions beheld that rash officer's rii-lit hand steal slowly from his side, rise to the level of the Czar's neck aud give the wig's hanging tail a most decided tweak. lu au instant the emperor's face, pale with fury, was turned upon Vak- sel's countenance, which, however, reflected only an expression of childlike innocence, mingled with the most deferential astonishment, "Who dared do that?" demanded the enraged Czar, his eyes flashing evidence that his most dangerous mood was upou him. "I did, your majesty," said Vaksel, who, however his heart may have fluttered, managed to preserve outwardly unruffled calm, together with an expression of innocent surprise. "It was crooked, your majesty," he added iu a confidential undertone, "and I straightened it for fear the younger officers should see it." Paul's countenance cleared at once. He staredly flxedly, however at Vak- ael's innocent-looking face for some seconds. Vaksel admitted afterward that this was the trying moment, but he had said to himself, "If I waver 1 am lost!" Then the Czar spoke, and spoke so that all might hear: "I thank you, colonel 1" If ever a step in rank was gained by purest effrontery it was so acquired ou this occasion, and Vaksel left the field not only promoted to a coveted position in the guards, but richer by many hundred rubles as the result of the wager.

A thirteen-year-old girl, Ada Archer, has written a 13,000-word novelette, and recently she confided some of her ambitions to a reporter. "1 want to have a really good education, read all the best books, travel round the -world, write romances, and make sufficient mouey so that poor mother will not have to work so hard." She is the eldest of eight children, and is her mother's right hand. School and household duties keep her busy the greater part of the day, but wheu the children are put to bed, and alter she has finished "helping mother," she weaves romances into halfpenny exercise books, and evolves wonderful plots in which poor girls marry rich earls and live iu a world where all is happiness and beauty. Her novelette was handed to acwell- known publisher's reader, who spuke of it in highly complimentary terms. "She's a regular bookworm," re* marked tlie child's mother proudly. "If she goes to wash a cup or make a bed, sure enough there's a book un* der her arm.

The adventure ot two boys has resulted iu tlie discovery, near Brighton, of a fine specimen of an ancient British burial urn. On the cliffs to the east of Brighton there have recently been heavy landslips. A boy, who crawled to the edge of the cliff to look over, lay the mouth of an urn projecting from the newly-ex posed face of the cliff. Another boy 'clung to his heels, and he hung over the edge of the cliff 80 feet above the water, dug out the urn and brought it up uninjured. The urn, which has been secured by the museum authorities, is pronounced to bo a rare specimen, showing remarkable features of design and ornament.

A great many people believe that if any measure <>f Free Trade be adopted with the United States, th iiy natural reBull of that policy would be Hritish Preference, which has existed between Canada and Great Britain fur the past thirteen years. in 1608 a preference *d a reduction (if duties to tllr t'Xtellt of "ill pit Cent. was extended by Canada to tin United Kingdom, and iu the year iwo this preference was Increased from *lr) to ;uv. per cent. The existing Canadian Tariff (that ol 1007), while it does not everywhere irrnui a preferential duty of exactly 'Xi\ per cent., has a schedule of duties which vary from article to article, but in whloh the general principle of the reduction of duty by one-third, in favor of Great Britain has been observed, This system since ita establishment lias met with universal approval, It was supposed to cany with it the assertion that henceforth the hi,minion of Canada proposed to unite Itself in special trade relations with the Britlshj Isles, and to cut itself free from any; entangling alliances, in the commercial sense, with countries outside of the British Empire. Preference iuj fact, was looked upon as the negation of Reciprocity, j The system met with general approval for the reason that its economic basis win perfectly sound. It was felt on all sides that the time was' still far distant when thc Dominion and Grent Britain could bo ou terms! of absolute free trade with one another. Canada could not afford to; dispense with its manufacturing ami | industrial system, which had been built up with so much pains and ef-j fort, and in the general prosperity of our country. In as much as the costs j of manufacture, owing to low wagoa, I nre very much less in Great Britain! than they nre in Canada, it was felt j to be unfair to ask the Canndinn manufacturer to stand iu competition, on even terms, with the British producer whose business could be carried on al a very much lower cost. The safeguarding of home industries therefore, and the creation of whnt could proper-, ly be called a national system was i recognized as the cardinal principle j of Canadian trade policy, If this policy is not sound, then the sooner it ia done away with the better.] The reciprocity compact would certainly hnve this*effect, and if the pre. ferentiii! system under which we have now been trading for thirteen years has been a national error, Reciprocity may be welcomed as a first step in another direction. Hut if on the other hand, the Preferential System irsts upou a sound, national, nnd imperial basis, then, the Reciprocity Compact cnn only be regarded as it dangerous interference witli one of the main supports of our present imperial system. There cnn be but little doubt tut to the facts of the question, ln the lirst place, the Reciprocity compact admits practically the whole range of natural products free of duty, both from the (Tinted States nnd Great Britain, into the Canndinn market. Until now a duty had to he paid on imports of this class from Great Britain, but a still higher duty was paid on imports coining from the United States. Hence although the British exporter can now send his goods of this class free of duty, he no longer finds himself in a favored position as compared with his American rival, lt is an open business question to pay a duty and have one's rival pay a still higher one, then to lind oneself placed on a footing of absolute equality. It is true that the bulk of natural products imported into Canada come from the United States but it is on error to suppose that there is no such import to our market from Great Britain. The statistics given by the Canadian government show an import of natural products from the United States hut it is nn error to suppose that there is no such import to our market from Great Britain. The statistics given by the! Canadian government show an im-1 port of nntural products from the! United States included under the first; schedule of the reciprocity compact1 for the year 1910 of the value of $32,-' 913,823, But the imports of this class from the United Kingdom for the same year amounted to $6,.104,6.18. Moreover there is another part of the Reciprocity Compact which lowers1 duties in favor of the United States and the twelve favored nations without entirely removing them. In this case tho British duty stays exactly where it is, or if the proposed. reciprocal rate is lower, it is brought down to that level, ln these enses, therefore the preferential advantage is either considerably lessened 01 even disappears altogether.
