AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION Cranbrook Operatic Society secured by "The Prospector" for the earnest consideration of its readers Isolation Hospital secured for Cranbrook Mr. O. H. Thompson was seen by a representative ot the Prospector, upon his reeurn from Victoria, and Is nble to report tho result ot an Interview with tbe Honorable Provincial Secretary and Dr. Fagan, respecting the establishing of an Isolation Hospital lor Cranbrook and vicinity. Owing to the untiring cHorts ol Dr. Green In procuring this much needed improvement. Mr. Thompson is able to state that satisfactory arrangements will undoubtedly be entered Into between tbe City and the Provincial authorities. Thc City have ollered to contribute 1500.00 towards the erection of a building and the Government, wlll contribute a further |.,5i)ii.inif The Hospital la to be maintained by the City; the Government paying for outside patients a dally lee as may be agreed upon. It. j Is hoped that the City wlll be able I to make arrangements with tho 1 present Hospital Authorities to conduct the Hospital as a branch of | their work. I The building ts to consist ot four I wards, fumigating room and hath room. It is hoped also that from available funds, a small detent on house can be erected where suspects who have not devoloped the disease may be placed. Great praise ls due Dr. Green, Mr. Caven, M. P. P., and Mr. Thompson for their efforts tn procuring this much needed hospital building. Arousing Meeting voted as with one voice to purchase lands and buildings tor our BIG FALL FAIR, Sept. 19 & 20 Enterprise shown by our citi/eus in promoting such au organization I City Solicitor's Opinion on the $2.00 Vote A representative of The Prospector lnterviewi.il Oity Solicitor Thompson respecting tlie proposal of the Delegation from the Board ol Trade, to amend the Hoad Tax By-Law. Mr. Thompson stated: "That apparently the dellnltton ol house-holder contained In thc old Statute prior to 1905, was what the framer of the amendment had in view. By that Statute, a house-holder was defined as a tenant paying a reat of not less than (.00.00 per annum. In 1905, 1906 and 190k, however, the Legislature amended the dellnltton of house-bolder, extending It to Include evory person of tbe full age of twenty-one years who has resided In the municipality from the First Day ot January in tlie current year and, unless exempt from payment, has paid $2.00 to the Municipality by way of rates, taxes, or assessments, provided that he makes tbe necessary declaration in the month of October, All the active members of the Militia Force nnd all male persons over sixty years of age are entitled to be placed on tbe Voters' List without the payment ol any tax. The question as to whether or not a certain class of persons only call,, by By-Law, be directed to pay the road tat, for example, tenants was one which Mr. Thompson had considered very carefully and he has come to the conclusion that lt could not be done. It would be Impossible for the Council to pass a By- Law enacting that all the residents ot a certain part of the city Bhould pay a road tax while the residents part should not. So likewise, it would be Impossible to pass a By- Law discriminating against tenants. The policy of the Legislature lias been to extend the franchise and tbe Municipal Council cannot thwart the Intention of the Legislature. The Legislature has settled who shall have the franchise. A Municipal Council cannot establish another franchise distinct from that enacted by the Act. So long as any person pays a road tax, that tax, In the City Solicitor's opinion, must be $2.00 and must be paid by all male persons who have been resident within the Municipality for a specified time, say one month, aad who are not members of the Active Militia Force and who are between the ages of twenty-one and sixty years, and if the payer of that tax chooses to make a declaration, ln tbe wording of the Act, that he ls a British Subject, of the full age of twent-ona years and has been a resident within the Municipality since the 1st. day ol January of the current year, and that he has paid this tax, he is entitled to be placed upon the Voter's list. "It s to the Legislature that an appeal must be made to alter the franchise," said Mr. Thompson, "not to the Municipal Council", and any action on the part of the Municipal Council tending to niter the franchise would be distinctly beyond their powers." Communication Received at Our Office from the Vancouver Exhibition Association The Oraabrook Agricultural Asso- |clntion held a meeting lu the Cranbruuk parlors on Wednesday evealng lor the speeial purpose of cons der- tng the ways and means of securing land aad the necessary conveniences I pertalaing to a permanent Fair Ground. There was most of the business men of the city at the meeting nearly all of whom are members of the association, so that the general public will well understand that whatever waa done or wlll eventually result wlll be to the best interests ol the city and district. T. GUI occupied the chair as president of the association, and In opening the meeting for the discus slon of ways aad means, said, already there had heen a committee looking out lor land autllclently large and convenient enough to tbe city to warrant the association buying for tho above purpose. They had even gone so far as to have prepared blue-prints ot the only available site other thnn thc present race tract, In readiness to lay before the present meeting. These covered an area of twenty-live acres, the acreage could be added to or reduced at $1211.00 per acre, and the buildings and track would cost ia the neighborhood of another $10,000, On tlie other hand the Park Association have already given them a months time In which to decide as to whether they should buy the present grounds aad which offer cloBed detlnately next Wednesday April 19th the two propositions were sufficient to form tbe basis for any discussion which might be made. Mr. Wm. Hamilton, asked, in the flrst place if the agricultural association had ever been incorporated. Mr. R. B. Beattie In reply said that as certain grants had already heen made to them in times gone by the association could take it for granted that they were all right and had nothing to fear in that direction Mr. T. Gill, chairman, added that it could In any case be arranged to everyone's satisfaction with the Deputy Minister ol Agriculture. A committee ot three consisting ol R. B. Beattie, A. L. McDermott and P. Matheson, were there to place before them again the proposition of the Park Aatociation. Mr. Beattie as speaker, that although they were now ln possession of two sealed tenders for the land occupied by the race track aad surrounding stands and fences, they would waive those oilers aside if the Agricultural Association wished to purchase the track. They were not able to give tho prices contalnod in the sealed estimates he spoke ot. No other motive actuated tho Park Association other than the welfare of the city. They bad received these offers hut they felt that the grounds originally were mado [or sportlag purpose* because, of Its •splendid location anil, closeness to . tlio city, and having the sole interests at heart they' felt.that . these I grounds ought to remain devoted to I that purpose. They therefore •_! tho association this offer solely .In the city's Interest. . '', W. B. Maclarlane, in rxplnining'the work done by the committal).' fli which he was chairman, sald,l'tlie plans of thc ground, which laiy na the table for Inspection try all tbe members, represented a piece of laud of ahout 25 acres, about half a mile outside the city limits, on tbe prairie, had certain advantages over the grounds of the present track, being easier of access and not so tiring on the women and children as the present climb was, that water could be easily obtained and tlie Government had already surveyed the land in the vicinity and a road was going to be laid out near the ground now selected, making it better for vehicle traffic. Ill considering this site as compared with the old track, he was prepared to make a motion ro that elect. It was then moved by Mr. Maclarlane, seconded by Dr. Hall, that, "this association purchase the land on the prairie' and arrange wnys and means to erect the necessary buildings, and build a track. ' P. DeVere Hunt,, said that $3,300 was handled by the association last year and that the Fair was a wonderful success. Crnnbrook will require grounds to have an exhibition, and they were here to nay v.bat grounds they would have. Outside of the climb, nature had given us one of the most beautiful spots tbat could bo desired and he was In favor of purchasing the present track aad grounds, This year's exhibition ls of paramount interest tn Cranbrook and District, and lt was to everyone's advantage to do all that lay In their power to help lt along. In time for the exhlbltion'the Government would do a lot of grading which will make the climb not a climb, but a gentle walk, the grade being considerably reduced. Several members Joined in a very strong discussion respecting the advantages and disadvantages of the present track as a permanent exhibition grounds. It was then moved by R. El. Beat- tie that,"This Association purchase tbo present grounds held by the Park I Association and that a committee be appointed to interview the Provincial Government to obtain financial assistance. The motion was carried unanimously. Mossrs. Hunt, Mnrfarlano, Russell, .Wilson, Ilrymner, were appointed a committee to interview tho Government, and to make all financial arrangements In regard to the purchasing ol the ground. . Mr. Beattie, represeating the Park Association, definitely Informed the members present, that If the purchase was not made and closod before Wednesday, evening, April, 19, the Park Association would let the grounds go to one of tbe other bidders whose offer they now held. At a committee meeting held in on Thursday morning in the Craubrook parlors, It was decided to send Mayor Hunt to Victoria to Interview the Premier and Council, to see If an appropriation could not ho obtained, and urge upon them the necessity ol same. To have a permanent Agricultural Association in Oranbrook, with a solid financial foundation Is the hope of every citizen. This ls a matter which should not be allowed to drift along In Idle dreams, talked about, and then let lapse; this Is a matter which every person, young and old, ln business or out of business, should be enterprising enough to make a fow sacrifices, if any are necessary, to bring it to a successful issue. There is nothing which the citizens of Cranbrook can tlo or hnve dono that will bring so much benefit and advertising ol the right kind to our city as having an active permanent Agricultural Association. Thc Board of Trade is also an excellent organization, doing lots ol good, hut after all it is such associations as tho Agricultural Associations, and their like of our cities that bring the work of the Board of Trade to a successful Issue. They show the goods, they give definite! proof ol the city's worth, therefore, It Is fitting for us all to work anil make this thing go. Boost lor It! Talk ahout lt, and don't be afraid to work. At the meeting on Wednesday night it was stated that Lethbridge had granted $100,000 to this end, and It is possible that tho City Council might see their way clear to help. There Is no harm In asking lor their much needed assistance.—Bdltor. That such an organization as this, should come to be an absolute fact, within a few short weeks, is hardly creditable, yet such is tlie case; an the following production of the "Geisha", by this organization will am i pllfy. Some six or eight weeks ago,a small body of nuisicul men met ai a private bouse, and decided to form "Tlie Oranbrook Operatic riocety". The meeting wus culled to older, and officers were elected. They decide!'. to produce the "lieislia". in tlie near future, ami as a result, about 60 o, Cranbrook's most talented citizens wilt randar nu account of the tints spent during the last few woeks.

And then, now that she knew Who Larsan was, It wns not only the features of the secret service agent tbat she hud recognized, but the dreaded countenance ot the man wbo had pursued ber for years. "She cried out that she could swear on her life and on mine that she bad seen Hnllmeyer-alive In the glass, with the smooth face ot l.ar*an. "I explained to the superintendent that my wife had beon frightened at something she fancied that she had ! seen while alone in our compartment, and 1 begged hlin to keep hpr In his , offlce while I went myself to discover ' what It wus that she had «een. "And then, my frlPtirts," continued Robert Darzac, hl« rolce beginning to | tremble.

Uu the contrary, any one would bave declared j that he bad stationed himself there for the express purpose ot being seen. "Muihlldu wus staring at uie, ber great eyes wide open, speechless, an though she were a somnambulist. In a moment, however, she came buck to herself sudlclently to ask mc whether It were far from Bourg to Lyoue. At tbe same time she begged me to glvo orders about our baggage uud asked me to accede to her desire to rejoin her father as soon us possible. I immediately entered Into ber plans. Besides, notv (hat I bnd seen l.nrsau with my own eyes, I knew woll that the long honeymoon dip which we lind planned must be given up, and. my dear boy," went on Darzac, turning to Uouletubllle, "I beenme possessed with the Idea that we wero running i he risk of some mysterious danger Irom which you alone could rescue us, If not already too late. Matbllde was grateful to mo for the readiness with which I fell In with her wish to Join her father when I told ber tbat in a lew minutes we would be on board the 0:1.0 train, which reaches Lyons at about 10 o'clock, ami we discovered thut wo would overtake M. Stnngerson himself at that point. I will pass over bis amazement when bu tiuiieid us upou the platform of the station at Lyons. Matbllde explained io hlin that on account of a serious accident which bud closed thu line at Culoz wo bad decided to Join hlin nnd spend a few days with him nt the home of Arthur nance and bis young wire, as we had before beeu entreated to do by this friend." 1 here Interrupted M. Darzac'S narrative to recall to tbe memory ot the reader of "The Mystery of the Yellow Bootn" the fact that Arthur William Jtuuce bad for many years cherished a, hopeless devolion tor Mile, fcitanger- son, but bad at lust overcome it and married a beautiful American girl who knew nothing ot tbu mysterious adventures ol tbe professor's daughter. After tbe uiTuir at ttie Uluodler and while Mile. Stangersoo was still a patient in a private usyiom nenr I'urls, where the treatment restored tier to health and reason, we heard ooe line day thai Ita DCS was about to wed tbo niece of an old professor Ol geology at the Academy ot Science in Philadelphia, Those wbo bud known of his luckless passion tor Matbllde aud had gauged Its depths by ihe excess wnb which It wus displayed believed tbut Itauce was marrying in desperation and prophesied little oappiness tor tne union. 'J'bey were living at Hoc hers Itouges In the old castle oo tbe peuiu- BUla of Hercules. Darzuc continued Ms story: "When we bad given these explanations to M. Stangerson my wife and 1 saw that he seemed to understand very little of whut we bad said, and be appeared very mournful, Her father saw that something hud happened since we bad left bim which we were concealing from him. Matbllde began to talk of tbe ceremony ol ibe morning, and lu that way the conversation came around to you. my young friend"—and again Darzac addressed himself to Itouletabllie—"and I took the occasion to Hay to M. Stnngerson that since your vacation was (ust beginning nt the time that we were till going to Mentone you might be pleased with an invitation tbat would give you tbe chance of spending your holiday in our Boclety. There was, l said, plenty of room at Itoftwrs Itouges, and I wns certain tbat M. Arthur llanee and his bride would extend to you a cordis! welcome. While I wns speaking Muthllde looked gratefully at mo nnd pressed tny hnnd tenderly. Thus It bapened that when we reached Va- ience 1 bad M.

And when ouce i attempted to -peak lbs made a gesture so full of misery uml lesoiOQun thnt I realized that i Would Ue tai Kinder It I kepi silence,'' This was Danac'i story. We felt, Rouletabllle and myself, thut ibe narrative wus so Important thut we both resolved on arriving at -teutons that we would write it down from memory At the station of Mentone Guru van they found Arthur Itunce. who wus astonished at beholding the bride und bridegroom, Hut when tie was told that they intended to spend a few days with him be was delighted, Arthur It;'.nee had not. even after bis marriage to Miss fcwdhh I'rescott, beeu able to overcome (be extreme reserve with wiilch Dureoc had always trvut- ed bim. So far as Darzac was concerned, the terror which he felt was increased by news brought to us by Arthur Ranee when he met us at Nice. Hut before this there had occurred a little Incident which 1 cannot pass by iu silence. As soon as we reached the Nice station I had jumped from the train and hurried Into the telegraph office to ask whether there was any message for me. A dispatch was banded to me, and without opening it l went back to Darzac and Itouletabllie. "Head this," 1 said to the young re ■porter. Itouletabllie opened tbe envelope aud reud: "Brignolles has not been away from I'aris since April 0. This is un absolute certainty." Rouletabllle then said: "Well, what does this amount to now lhat you bave It?" "It wus ut Dijon," I rejoined, vexed .it the attitude of the lad. "tbat the Idea cume to mo that Brlguolles might be concerned in the misfortunes crowding upou us uud of which warning was givon by the telegrams you received. 1 wired a friend to make In* quirles in regard to tbu movements of the fellow." "Well," said Rouletabllle, "you huve your Inquiries answered. Are you willing to admit now that Brlguolles Is not and has never been Larsan In disguise?" "1 never thought of any sucb thing as thnt." I exclaimed. I suspected that Houtetabfltc was laughing ut tne. The truth wns that the Idea hud ac* tually entered my mind. And this time both Darzac and Rouletabille begged my pardon nnd paid their respects to my despised Intuitions. I mention this incident here to show to how great nu extent I was haunted by the linage of Larsan biding under some new form and lurking unknown among us. Dear heaven! Larsan had so often proved his genius in this respect that 1 felt bim quite capable of defying us now and of mingling witb us perhaps even as a friend. I was soou to change my Ideas, bow- ever, and to believe that tbis time Ballmcyer bnd altered bis usual tactics, and the unexpected arrival of Arthur Ranee was to go far In leading me to this opinion. Instead of biding himself, the bandit was showing himself openly with an audacity that staggered belief. After all, what bad he to fear in this part of tbe country? lie was aware tbat neither Darzac nor bis wire would be likely to denounce bim. Ills bold revelation of bis presence seemed to have but one end iu view, tbat of ruining tbe happiness of the couple Who bad believed that bis death hnd opened tbe way for their marriage.

Btailgerson gave his arm to his daughter, 1 wns at the right of M, Stangerson, who, there* fore, wns walking between the two of us.

The "Reeeyyell of the History ol Troy, printed by William Oaxtun, tho tlrst Rngllsh printer, 146971, oomes third on the list, brine thc first book print.-ii in the English language. Thoro art' only a few copies of it known, and of those few u Htill mnalhir number are perfect. The first edition of Chaucer's "Canterbury Tali's," printed about 1478, is very rare and valuable, as am the I486 edition of Sir Thomas Malory's "Morto d'Arthur," and tho First Folio BhakeBpoaro, A copy of thc First Folio now In the library of a collector sold at the Van Antwerp sale in Loudon a few years ago tor $18,000. Extremely valuable as being tho only perfect Copy known is that of the first edition of . Iiakespeiire's "Venus and ASoniB," the first book of Shakespeare's to bo published. Hounding out the ton most valuable printed book in tho world, Mr. Dodd would place tlie 1459 edition of the Psalter mentioned above in tho final place on the list. As shedding some light on the subject it may be mentioned that not lon» since tho library of Mr. Howard Willetts, of White Plains, N.H., was destroyed by fire, and he engaged Mr. Wendell, an appraiser ot rare books, to estimate his loss. Tho prices placed ou some of them are fairly staggering to ordinary mortals. For instance, a set of Cruikshankiana is estimated ut $35,875, and an original edition of Thackeray's writings at $25,250. Those values are not guessed at, however, but are founded on b thorough acquaintance with tho records of sales of rare books, coupled with a knowledge possessed only by experts, of the present state of the market (or such luxuries. Tbe destroyed library of Mr. Willetts, according to Mr. Wendell, waB worth more than $90,000. For bis services the appraiser charged $4,500, and was awarded $3,500 by a trial jury. In court the jud^s reduced this sum to $2,500, on the ground that the compensation of such an expert should not be over $20,000 a year.

Lord Kilbrncken, who haa recently taken his sent in the Houae ol Lords on his t'levation to the peerage, will he best remembered as Sir Arthur Godley, K.C.3., Permanent Under- Secretary ol State at the India Oflice. A Fellow ol bis college at Oxford, a barrister, and then private secretary to the late Mr. Gladstone, he became Commissioner ol Inland Revenue lor a briel year, and then Under-Secretary lor India at the early age ol thirty-six. All business transacted in thc United Kingdn-i relating to the Government ol India came under his personal supervision. It is an axiom that the work ol real government^oi tho Umpire devolves largely on the permanent officials, and the smoothness with which the administration cl the India Olllco proceeded during Lord Kilbracken's long reign ol a quarter ol a century was in no small measure due to his devotion, judgment, and tact. Mr. Gladstone once remarked that Lord Kil- bracken was one ol the ablest public servants with whom he had come in contact in his long career. Lord Kilbracken's services were rewarded with a barony a little inofe than a year ago, but he was not oble to sit in the House ol Lords until ■ lew weeks ago. His lordship's lather, the late Mr. John Godley, ol Kiljegan, Counbj Leitrim. was Assistant Under-Secretary ol State Ior War. Lord Great Chamberlain. Having been selected to act as Lord Great Chamberlain at the crowning nl King George, Karl Carringtnn will become entitled lo forty ells ol crimson velvet, a gilt basin Irom Ihe King, and a money payment ol $1.(100 Inr his services, tbe latter perquisite having taken the place ol thut consisting ol the lurniture ol thc room in which the sovereign slept on the night be- lor his coronation, to which, in former days, tho Lord Great Chamher- laiu was entitled. Lord Carrington was one ol the late King Kdwurd's oldest friends. Indeed, as youngsters they were inseparable companions. A large landowner, his lordship has the reputation ol being one ol the most liberal and sympathetic landlords in the kingdom, and a strong supporter of the small holdings movement. He has established hundreds ol small holdings on l.'J estates. Heavy Qeese. Miss P Mugec, ol lliddulph, delivered six geese to nn Exeter merchant which weighed over lOO pounds.

Its Power to H..1.1 It. Own Gastrio Juice. I. a Pursle. One of the greatest questions disturbing the minds of physiologists bulb past and prcseut Is that of the Btoinuch's digesting powers, it la asked why the stomach does not dlgeat itself. It la well known tbat gastrio Juices bave tbe power to digest tbe tissue of which the stoiuucb Is made. One of the things actually manufactured by tbe body, secreted In tbe glands near tbe stomach and poured Into It. Is hydrochloric acid, a powerful agent Hint wlll ent up almost anything. Why It does nol eut tbe stomach up Is problematical. It Is known that a stomach from a deud unlmul or inuu can be digested by a living num. It bus been found out also that when a man la killed accidentally and tils stomach Is ln tbe process of digest lug. if tbe body be kept warm, bis whole stomach will be digested uud possibly, too, adjacent orguus. us liver, puncreas, etc. From this It wns argued tbut the "principle of life" kepi Ibe process from going on lu a lirltiR being. Subsequently, however, this was proved 10 be untrue, A living frog was put in on unconscious condition u>id bis leg inserted through a small hole In a dog'a BtuniHch. the do. being nlive aud welL It was found tlial tbe frog's leg waa wholly digested lu tbe process, although living So Ibe Inst reason conceivable was proved Incapable of explaining lbe phenomenon. About the only conclusion left Is that tbe stoiuucb does gradually actually eat Itself up. but tbnl It Is being constantly rebuilt. However, na Ibis ex- |M-rlmetit is hurd to perforin and aa no results hnve so far been announced ln tbis direction, we are left In a state of absolute iguornnce, nnd all we cnn do Is to be devoutly thankful to Providence that our stomachs do not digest themselves except In the ordinary course of htiniita events.-Lawrence Hodges In New York Tribune.

A young woman who thinks she cnn- I not repnper her room thla season he* I cause she cannot afford It should muke j sure that cost ls prohibitive before re- j signing herself to dirt. ! One girl has Just papered a bedroom charmingly at a total cost of less than $:t. Heading of bargains in wall paper one day, she noticed some that were reduced to a cent or two a roll. Her family Insisted tbe results would be dreadful, but the selection was made of a nice quality of figured cream celling paper at a cent a roll for the walls and a narrow rose border at 2 cents a yard. The border was cut out by thc girl herself and run at top of room and down the sides of each corner. 'I'h:* paper was put on by a couutry pnperhiingcr, a friend of the cook, at much less than Ihe usual rutes. It would have been possible to have done Ihe papering oneself, but (he work Is not likely to give satisfaction, though many women nre fairly skilled paper- hangers.

Many a woman has hastily left ber seat in a church with a red face and the echo of a hacking little cough following ber down Ihe aisle nnd Into tbe vestibule wben tbe trouble might have been conquered In n very simple way. A cough drop Is uot ut alt essential to the stopping of a tickling cough.

One November evening a British envoy, returning home from Vienna, took his way through a Prussian fur- e_t. He was never $'.:u again. Thut wus 100 years »_jo. The other day iu that forest u skeleton was found which i_ supposed to be that of tht : missing man. H? waa -Mr. Benjamin Bathursti u son uj Dr. J]' thurst, Bishop of Norwich, 180037, and he wain 1600 envoy to the Court ol Vienna, aud had been following Uie campaign between the Au-irInn- and French. Hi* seems to have been Incomprehensibly afraid of fa.ling into the hands of the French, and as soon as tlie treaty between Napoleon and Austria WUS signed ho ll.d from Vienna, making for Hamburg, whence he Intended to reach London. In November, 18 9 he had arrived nt Berlin, spe.it several days there, and continued h:.» jourm-y, in the slow fashion ol the times, by coach, With him traveled his secretary and a eonlideiitial s"r* vant. On the --th inst. he arrived at Kltatsche, the last posting station before Herleberg, which is today a railway station between Mngdeberg and Her in. Here, when asked tor his passport and papers, he declared he was a Her Iiu merchant named Koch. While awaiting a relay of horses, he pui a number of questions to the po it mos ter concerning the sate* ly of the roads, nnd if he should ba likely to meet any French patrols. He veined altogether to be ill a very nervous condition, Those In the posting house saw Rathursl pull a pair ol pistols out ol his pocket and watched him adjust und readjust the trigger continually. He was warned twice thut ttie horses were ready, but he seemed lost in terrified conjectures) and tiK'k uo notiee. Finally, un being reminded that the hire of the horses began Irom the moment they were harnessed, he made a start. At half-past five he arrived at Per- leberg, and here ho left his carriage nnd insisted on being conducted to the house of the governor of the district, from whom he again Inquired with much auxi.tv about the security of the roads, begging to be told the shortest rout". Buying he hnd a terrible fear of French patrols and customs officers, who had twice already tried to poison htm. The- -govenmr recognized that liathurst 'wlta suff r- iug from dementia, and did his best to reassure him. The British envoy left aud Bt art ed for the posting house Two girls living next door to the posting house watched him pass their window, but nothing more wus evei seen of Mr. liathurst. The next day the diplomatist's cloak wns found hi I- den under a pile uf wood in the posting house, and a fortnight later binding breeches were found by two women gathering dead leaves in the forest uf QuitftUOW, close to I'erleh «rg. The prevailing idea was that Bathursl had been assnssintted by French sol dlers, who were nfter his despatches, His wife appealed to the Emperor Napoleon to give her every facility tn seek her huslc.nd, and this was d ine. all the resources of the country b?ing at iier disposal. The hat of the lost diplomatist was found on the edge of the River Stepnitr., and this was consequently drngg d for his body, but in vain. Recently some wood cutters in the forest of Quilznow discovered a skeleton In a good state of preservation, not f-tr from the spot where liathurst 'a riding breeches were f tund. The bones nre though! to be those ol the envoy, whose disappearance hus always been a mystery. Woman'sWorld Cupid Wine Victory In 8uffragette Camp. A Fighting K.C.

The cricket t«flm of which he was captain, so the story runs challenged the team of a regiment to a match, A dispute arose and as neither side seemed willing to cive way, thn future K.C. suggested that the best method of settling the milter would be for him and the captain of the regimentals to fight it out, But foi some reason or another the soldier declined the proposal. Sir Edward wns a great athlete in his younger days. At Portarlington School he wits in the first cricket eleven und the first football fifteen and one year he carried off the championship cup for all-round athletics, winning most of the races from the 100 yards to the mile, as well as the high jump, the long jump, and throwing the cricket-ball.

In some industries what were once considered as waste products have become of equal or even greater value than the original main products. Close competion has made the exercise ol all possible economies not only desirable but in some cases Imperative. These conditions and the Insatiable desire to pry into the se crets ol nature have resulted in the discovery of many new substance* and uses for old ones, which have become of immense practical importance. The mining and metallurgi cal industries are no exception to this, and in them Borne remarkable results have been recorded, and more ate to be eipected. In this work are to be found BOinc striking Illustrations of practical results of scientific research. Chemical investigations have brought to our attontlon the existence ol many substances found in ores whose presence had until recently not been suspected, particularly ol certain ol the rare elements which aro now ot considerable scientific and practical interest. It is to the Btudy of the chemical and physical properties of these substances that we owe the evolution ot commercial methods ot serurnting them Irom their associated minerals and the development ol practical application ol them or their compounds which have resulted in a demand for them. Most of the so-chll- od rare elements and rare earths may be included in this class. Thc alloy-stoel industry, as woll ns the gas and electric-lighting industries have raised the elements vanadium, uranium, tungsten, titanium, tantalum, thorlun, etc., which were merely of scientific interest, to positions of considerable commercial Importance. This makes thorn of ill- Interest to the prospector und the miner. The fields ol usefulness lor these substances are boing steadily enlarged, and the Hold for chemical and physical research concerning their properties and method for recovering nnd preparing them for use Cranhrook. Ib by no means exhausted. In lact, wo bave only just entered upon this fascinating and Important work. Tho radio-active eloments, whoso astonishing properties hnve so recently beon brought to notice, oiler gn interesting but difficult Held Inr study. Tho Btudy ol those nuliiit.ni, cos has alroady boen rich In results, and still more are to he lookod lor. Tbo pretont need is the Improvement ol methods, whereby tho coot ol production nt radio-active nudlo-acti.vc substances cnn be lowered. In tho utilization of wnBtc prn- ducto, many Instances might he cited This has become nu important phase of industrial Bon»orvat nn. It Is only comparatively recently that any serious attempt hns boon made to mnke practical and profitable use ot blast-furnace and basic slags which are now being utilized for tbe manufacture of cement and agricultural fertilizer. Compulsion as well as de sire to economize, has heen responsible for some Important economies in metallurgical methods. The saving and utilization ot other waste furnace products, as Hue dust, and sul- phurouB gases from copper smelters, has been made compulsory in a number of states, ln order to prevent injury to vegetation. The result is is the development of means of converting these offensive wastes into useful products. _ Old mill tailings thrown out ai wbste, are now In many cgsea yield ing good returns on re-treatment by up-to-date methods. Many old mine dumps have been found to cantain valuable minerals which were not recognized by the old-time minora. Thus it is evident that tbe mining and metallurgical industries have passed the stage where primitive wasteful methods prevail, and must he conducted according to scientific methods, it tlie highest results are to bo obtained. I. O. O. F. GRAND LODGE. Thc Odd FcIIowb' grand lodge for British Columbia will bo held at Cranhrook this year, and will open on Wednesday, June 14th.

Ar- have boen prevented Irom reading I tlst and Orizette, the student aud The Cranbrook DiBtrict offers exceptional advantages in the way of mining and agriculture. Land in the district is particularly well adapted to farming and fruit raising, while the mountains contain untold wealth. It is rarely that the two, mining and agriculture are so closely associated. There is no reason when the mines are developed, why one dollars worth of grain or vegetables should he shipped in, and under favorable circumstances the district can be self supporting. - .... There will be some surprise and consternation throughout the country at Mr. Fielding's announcement that the Bank Act is not to be revised at thia session. It really should have heen revised in 1910 and there was a strong personal demand lor some action Irom the Government. Mr. Fielding, however, carried the matter over to this session when it was to be attended to by all means. Now he announces tbat the Act must not ue touched for nnother yeat. Mr. Fielding's only defence for the wretched mess he made of the Farmer's Bank affair waa that the Act itself wbb defective. Now be refuses to strengthen the Act and thus adds to the popular distrust and discontent. .... The home-seeker should hear ln mind that lands in the Kootenay valley can be obtained as cheaply as lands in any portion of the great North Weat. The best of landa with tbe finest soil iB on tbe market for $10 to (30 per acre, government land can be purchased at 15 and $10 per acre; the price varying with tho location. Local production never exceeds consumption, Tho mines ol the district furnish a home market lor all klndB ol home produce. Bvory acre of cleared land Ib sure to yield a crop tho year it is planted. There ia no crop failure In the Kootonny valley, and no transportation charges to eat up prollts. Canada has made mistakes ocrns- slonally, and has boon gold-bricked twice by the Liberal party, hut ncvor again will tbe olectors stand for a reciprocity or lree trade gold-brick. .... Tbe Government seems to ho getting cold leet on the reciprocity deal The Houae haa not been moved Into Committee ol Ways and Means lor several weeks and thus no opportunity haa been afforded members ol the Opposition to discuss the matter. They have in thtlr possession these to the House. The impression is growing that the Government ia waiting upon Washington. Should Congress fail to puss tho necessary legislation at tho extra sesBlon, the Dominion Government will be glad to call the deal oil and let the whole matter drop into oblivion. Mr. Fielding journeyed to Montreal a week ago and addressed a small meeting whore people were admitted only by invitation. He should have had a most friendly audience and would have had at any other time. When, however, lie launched out -uto tliede- fence of reciprocity he was chagrined to find that about hnlf of thc people present were opposed to his vieWB Tllis meeting was the tlrst of a series to be addressed by tho Finance Minister but there is reason to believe that no more will be attempted. The Opposition on tho other hand are conducting a campaign of education which will also include the Western provinces. They have no fear but that tlie Western provinces wlll carefully consider the arguments against the fact as well as those, in favor of it and thnt they will come to the conclusion that tho government has committed the country to a policy which in the ond will prove unfortunate to every province in the Dominion. The resources of the Cranbrook Diatrict. Do we realize how great these are? We arc proud of the. progress made In this development, Apache, quadrilles dancers and Mou lln Rouge habitue, afford, by their pranks and excentricitieu and endless succession of surprises. There are aristocratic types too, incoguito royalties who havo disguised them selves to join the revel, as merry monnrchs olten do in real life. That cut-up in the corner is mayhap the King of Orcania, while yonder is an Archduke, unbending bis military hauteur amid these French gayieties. "The Queen ol the Moulin Rouge" ls by Paul M.

These deposits have been but do we recognize that we have' carefully investigated for futuro exploited ten per cent of the area of I availability, and will be brought in the district. Think of the extent oil touch ot transportation hy the con its mineral wealth in the shape of gold, sliver, copper and lead, which have been proved to exist iu the few square miles which have been developed, and inquire what there may he jn the thousands ol miles which have not had a dollar expenditure. Think ot the hundreds of square miles awaiting the axe and remember that out of the thirty sawmills in operation only two ot these are using logs cut more than three or live miles from the railway. Think and remember oi the large area of arable land and remember that we are importing grain and vegetables from the Northwest provinces, and fruit from the Okanagan country. Think of the magnificent water-power on fifty rivers and strains and only three Mark Creek, Bull river, and Wasa Creek in the process of development. The actual development of these big silver-load mines to a shipping stage entitles us to the first position among the mining districts ol British Columbia. We see what the development ol a Btnall fraction of tlie Coal ateas bave done for Southeast Kootenay. We know what thc operations of the North Star, St. Eugene and Sullivan have done lor tlio mining interests ol the Cranbrook district. Thc whole Dominion can see thc result of the opening up ot tlie coal areas in the Crow's Nost I'nss by the building of the Crow's Nost railway, hut can any one realize the extent of prosperity to Cranhrook, and the whole of Southeast Kootenay when thc Koote nay Central railway ls completed and in'operation? What shall we do to induce capital to take hold ol our yet undeveloped watcr-powei-B, timber and mining rosourcos? This is a question which effects us all, tor havo thc most valuahlu, and largest undeveloped resources of any dlstrlcl in British Coldmbln.

Although a different honor frum that conferred upon tlie Apostles, John's wag a great honor and we have reason to believe thut. under Divine pro- vidence when perfected in the resurrection, he will apnreciate the earthly blessings and privileges which will Ir his more th«n the spiritual and heavenly privileges bestowed upon the Apostles and the less prominent members of th • Church.

This same cla&S is referred to by the Apostle in his declaration respect- lng the end of this Age. He intimates that some will have an abundant entrance (II.

As Isaac typified our Lord, th*5 Re leemer, and as Rebecca typified the Bride class, BO Rebecca's maidens typified this "gr at company" etas. This same thought is brought to our attention in Psalm xlv, where the Bride class is pictured as bein* presented to Jehovah in the end of thi*. Age in glory, honor and immortality illustrated by raiment of fine needlework und go'.d. Following the Bride come "the virgins, her companions, who follow her." These also will be greatly honored, greatly blessed. though theirs will be a less honor This "great company" will not constitute the Kingdom, although they will be identified with it and its wonderful salvation and blessing for mankind. The Great Teacher's declaration tbat they who break God's commandments and teach others so to do shall he called "least in the Kingdom" has cau .ed considerable perplexity in the past. The question has been. How could anyone be fit nt all for the Kingdom who breaks God's commandments and teaches others so to do? The answer Is that many of God's people hnve labored under more ur less of blindness and have done things which they ought not to hnve done and left undone the things which they ought to have dune. As an illustration, John Calvin, noble mnn nn he wns, burned his Christian brother, Servetus. Such violation of the Divine commands nnd such wrong teaching must, according to our human judgment, assign Brother Calvin to u lesser place in the Kingdom than if he had more carefully, more earnestly sought the will and Spirit cf I God. However, it is not for us to judge. We are merely seeking to as certain the spirit of our Lord's words, known and fur told. But so far ns I Begotten of the Holy Spirit nnd the Bride clnss wns concerned John's i privileged of the Lord to be disciples miaslon wns n success, for, as the ; and to be guided of the Holy Spirit, Scriptures Intimida, those who be- j we should be so faithful in the study li'-vei| John's testimony accepted , of the Scriptures ns not to be mis- taken in respect to the general application of their meaning. Wrong practice and fulse teachings do not nlwuy-j reuresent disloyalty to God declare (Psalm xlv. 16). W t remember the words of Jesus to tbis effeet; "Ye s!i:ill we Abraham, Isaac ami Jacob and all the Prophets In tie Kingdom." but He said not a word will be servants in the | "bout Himself or His dlscipba b-ing seen; properly su, because they, as spirit beings, will be invisible to men The Sen.tm-es Mill further lntimat< that duriiis' the thousand years of Messiah's reign, all the faithful ol mankind, all the obedient, will be piv- lleged to come into relationship with the King, This is figuratively repre sented In the statement that tnu great ones uf earth "will bring their glory and honor into the New Jerusalem. With such glorious hopes before us. with such appreciation of our Heav enly Father's glorious character and wonderful Plan, with such a grand view of uur Saviour's work, with such a hope of a share with Him in His Kingdom, what manner ol persons ought we to be in holy livtug .^nd godliness! Nor Bhould i't be thought strange that any of tha Bpirtt»begotteu now, er the restored of the future, who would turn their backs upon the gracious provisions made ior their salvation, would be considered unworthy of further favor or blessing at the hands of God and would die the : Second Death—annihilation, As Paul says "they shall be punished with '. everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and the glory of his power" til. Thessalonians i. 9>. Soon the disciples of the Master will be one with Him beyond the veil, sharers of His glory and Kingdom. Then will come the time when the world will believe. The knowledege of the Lord will till the earth and all the blinding and stumbling Influences of the present will be at an end. The Saviour will then exercise His power j on behalf of the world, overthrowing j evil and uplifting every good principle1 and all who love righteousness, and destroying those who wuuld corrupt tile earth. the FORTISSIMO. W" Jesus and He accepted tii We mii-t remember that the Church 1" the Kingdom of God—now in a format ve ur embryotic state, but in the end. by "the resurrection," to be spirit beings and partakers with Jesus, their Bridegroom, in His won* d rful -dory, honor, immortality and Kingdom work. This Kingdom class is not reigning now, but merely forming. It is joined "on probation," after the Methodist style. If the ,... .h'.ti, nre u.-ri-d of the present life be fatthMly used, the full" induction into i*; i Kingdom, its glories, honors nnd immortality, will surely follow- by participation in the First Resurrection. Amongst the faithful follower*1 of the Master there will be differences as St. Paul explains, "as one Btar differeth frum another star in glory" (I. Corinthians xv, 41). We cannot know, and it is not necessary for in to guess, who shall occupy the chief nines in the Kingdom. These shnl! be piven to those whom the Father pref r^. as the Rede 'mer explained to the woman who asked that her two sons might sit, one on His right hand and th- other on His ti ft hand in the Kingdom (Matthew xx, 31).

I Since the call of God began with I th» call of the Church, and since tne ; Church began at the First Advent ol | Feiu-i. it follows that no one was call- *d of Qod to salvation prior U fesus' time—none for forty-one hundred and filty years after sin entered . the world. Go 1 did, however, recognize the loyalty of heart of His Prophet : Enoch and communed with him nnd ble-ised him, etc. God also recognize 1 Abraham's faith and spirit of obedi • •nee, and Isaac's and Jacob's, and thut of Moses and Aaron and numerous prophet.-; and other faithful ones less notable. Did he not call thepo? We answer that he did not call them to salva lion, for no salvation could be posi lively .ff-r--l until tbe Redeemer had lacrificed; nor were they called to ! the Kingdom, for the same renson ■ (Ini did tell them that in due Urn- He would ble.a all the world.

Ths Ancient Port and Dockyard* Mads Famous os ths Temporary Home of Great Englirh Seamen Is Now Training Admirals — Days ol War With France Were Busy Ones In the Naval Depot. Tho Halifax duckyrd, once famous in the annals of Britain's conquests, has again resumed importance as a ' naval base, says W. H. Dennis iu Thy Globe. With the arrival of the eruis ; er Kioto, the first vessel in the east to form the nucleus of the Canadian Navy, and the fittim. up of the Naval ! Hospital as a college lor tbe training of cadets, thin ouoe-uoled nava! yard haa taken on a little of its old-time ; activity When the American colonies tbat now form the United States re- < voited from the mother country the ■ Halifax dockyard became the only naval base on thi*. side ol the AU a title, Uut before the days of tbe revolu- I tlon Halifas had been the rendeivous of the famous expedition that gather* eil bir the conquest of Louisburg nnd Quebec, Here Roseoweu and Sir Charles Hardy refreshed their fleet ami waited the coming of Gen, Amherst, preparatory io their famous attack on the Dunkirk of America, and a year after, wards Admiral Saunders aud Vo*n Wolfe sailed out ul the harbor to the conquest of Quebec, The most cele* brated names connected with the naval warfare appear in the records of thia yard. On two tablets until recently :n tbe Admiralty House. Halifax, arc inscribed the names of many of the must distinguished Admirals of the eighteenth and nine- teenth centuries. In the old troubled days when war ' vexed Kurope and America, there | were stirring time* in Halifax. The ; harbor thronged with ships of war, or valuably priies captured from the ' enemy. A great number of people found employment in the dockyard us shipwrights, caulkers, smiths and rig- gers. British men-of-war aud captur ed French frigates bad to be repaired, after hot buttles on the high seas, I and in war time, a large staff of I mechanics was constantly engaged in j this work. In the dockyard records we find j many orders similar to the following: "Halifax Yard. Sept. 4, 1805. "Memo; "The blacksmiths to be employed froui 5 o'clock, in the morning until 9 o'clock at night, (Signed) "John N. Inglefeed, "Commissioner, H.M. Navy Yard." Aud again we find a reference to the activity in the yard on Feb. 13. 16(11. Ellas Marshall, master shipwright, aud J. Jackson, maater-at- a'ms, report to Sir William Parker concerning the erection of building? in the dockyard. They report that they could not be erected on account of scarcity of men, caused by employment on the hospital. In old days the pierB and jetties of the dockyard echoed to the songs of the jolly jack-tars that have made the story of Great Britain's prowess upon the seas a world-stirring drama. Famous captains have passed in and out of its pillared gates; have married and lived within its walls. Nelson's renowned captains have given their orders to the master shipwright)-- after hulls and riggings of their ships had encountered the storm of battle or felt the fury of the elements. On Nov. 17, 1807, a fashionable wedding took place at Halifax which constituted one of the interests in local society circles of that time. Sir Thomas Hardy, one of Nelson's famous captains, had arrived in Halifax in October, after his ship, the Triumph, with some of the North American fleet, had been engaged watching a number of the French men-of-war shut up in Chesapeake Bay. When the gallant captain, under ordera from his chief, Admiral Sir George Cranfield Berkeley, was ordered to Halifax to refit and repair he little dreamed that at Halifax dockyard he was fated to meet his future wife, in the person of the charming daughter of the commander of the North American station. The brave commander of the Triumph, then 38 years of age, was not long in port before he surrendered to the charm, of Miss Louise Emily Berkeley, daughter ol Admiral Berkeley, and granddaughter of I-ord Lennox. , The naval hospital, which is being fitted up to receive the naval cadets, and which is to be the college, is a plain brick building situated at the north extremity of the yard. The bulldintr is tint very old, being built about the early sixties ot the last century. Th ■ lirst hospital for sick and disabled seamen was built during the period of the American revolution. It was destroyed by fire in the early years of the nineteenth century. It is more that' thirty years since the last wooden three-decker met its fate ai a bhlp treakcr's hands in Halifax. That ship was tbe Pyramus, antl had long outlasted its companions, having served as a floating maganine nt the lockyard. To what ship the figurehead at Halifax belonged is not known, and tradition says nothing of its history. It is the only remnant left of the stirring days when Great Britain's fleet fought in many parts of the world. The naval officials in the yard, with one or two exceptions, are English naval officers. Captain Martin holds the position ot Commander of the Yard, Commander of thi* Naval College, and Commander of the cruiser Canada.

The police succeeded in arresting a man supposed to bo responsible fur thy crime and hy was duly brought to trial before a jury.

However, after the COUnBel lor tbe defence had made an eloquent plea on behalf of the prisoner and tnc jury havi debated tlie mailer for some time, tbey announced ibut the man was u t guilty, Judge Begbie received the verdict with ominous silence.

Kvery session there is a "slaughter of the innocents." At the opening, three days a week are devuted to the Interests of private members, who place academic resolutions on the order paper and introduce public bills und then forget all about them. As the weeks go by private members get a day ohopped Irom their allowance, aud when the half way mark in the session's progress ia reached, the Government appropriates every day for it., own business, and the mass of bills and motions is heaved overboard Then there is great uproar on the part of these same careless ones who have allowed their days of opportunity to slip by. Many a man considers he has fulfilled his duty to his constituency when he places a mo- tion to abolish the Senate on the order paper, and proceeds to draw his monthly indemnity on the alleged ground of public service. So long as the "smoking room" provides greater attractions than the Chamber, and .he whi.-t table than the committee's, just so long will the list of stranded motions and bil'.s when the session wears away be a formidable one. This year 38 public bills and order.- and 12 resolutions fall under the knife of Lord High Executioner Laurier. One thing can be said, and that is they have served their purpose, lor the drones w'.'.i neglected them until they died, can return to their constituents and tell them they would have proceeded with their bill or resolution, but Sir Wilfrid Laurier wa.s afraid of it and ordered its de- capitation.

Number Three had a harder time of it. When half a dozen had climbed clumsily and noisily up the steps, the writer was saying tilings which were very much to the point. Number Nine was so startled hy the explosion which greeted his appearance that he merely stuck his head inside the door—and fled. At the usual "decent" interval, however, a cluinp-clump-clump was heard in the distance. It came onward and upward. The proprietor wus tried beyond endurance. This time he determined that the intruder should not even reach the door. To that purpose he directed at the oncoming visitor a series of well-chosen remarks which penetrated the door like bullets. But the Tenth Man still advanced. The clump-clump-clump came nearer and nearer. II anything was to be done to prevent thc intrusion of the sacred precincts ot the proprietor, it must be done now. The occupant of the room rose magnificently to the occasion. He excelled himself.

Coady, city treasurer of To. ronto, once lost a bet—or so the story goes, at any rate—over a lumberman's ability to measure brushwood. It may not be generally known that Mr. Coady used to be in the lumber business himself, and can size up a pile of wood with some facility, even to this day. The art ol mcnta'.ly measuring the number of feet in a stick of timber is a mysterious one. Lum. bermen can do it with amazing rapid ity and accuracy without putting a rule near the pile. But Mr. Coady had a friend who said he could ac- curately measure a big pile of brushwood, an assertion which was met by all present with some derision. Alter tht bet was put in hard and fast shape, the lumberman dumped the brushwood in a big tank of water, held it under the surface, measured the height to which the water rose, and irom this calculation the amount ol water which the brushwood displaced. Thus he gave Mr. Coady indisputable figures. "That," says the city treasurer, "was the most remarkable way ol measuring lumber that was ever Invented, for it was so ac curate that it took into account every twig and every wart on the bark. 1 lost." Amazing Prosperity. Mr. A. D. Thorno, president of the Union Bank of Halifax, was a visitor at a little weather-beaten country church near Sydney, C.B., oue Sunday evening last fall.

Judge Morgan, who is very fond of plug tobacco, is not the only member ol the Ontario Bench who has found chewing an intellectual stimulus. The late Justice Ferguson, known as an expert on the question of demurrers and special pleadings, was also an expert judge ot the "weed," and was accustomed to use it extensively. A reporter who had formerly been employed in his law offlce and knew the judge well, dropped in one day, found a vacant desk, and incidentally noticed that a plug of tobacco was lying within reach. With a rapid glance around the room, he grabbed the tobacco, took a stealthy but determined bite .and prepared to decamp. To his horror he saw Judge Ferguson regording him over the top of a screen, behind which he had shortly before retired in order to wash his hands. But the judge saw the humor of the situation, and stopped the flight of the intruder by exclaiming, "Take a good chaw, my boy. Take a good chaw while you're at it."

There are cases on record counterfeits coins nre worth thnn the coin which they imitate. Iu former times platinum, which has about the same weight as gold, waa worth only oue third as much. The counterfeiter sawed the real coin into three sections, 1,-nving both the obverse nnd the reverse sides untouch- td. The third purt was taken out and platinum suhslituted for it. A little milling machine and some skilful soldering did the rest. The counterfeit wn» almost beyond' detection, even to its ring. Since those days platinum hns increased tremendously in value, and a coin counterfeited in this way is now worth more than the genuine. Looking Backward.

CEASE'S KIDNEY-LIVER PILLS Not one person in a hundred can get along at this time of yenr without using something to enliven the action of thc liver, kidneys and bowels. Too much eating of heuvy artiliclal foods, too little outdoor exercise, this is the explanation. The liver and kidneys are overworked in their efforts to remove the poisonous waste matter from the system. They fail and become torpid und clogged. The bowels become cot). st innted and stomach derangements follow. There is one medicine which will overcome this condition more certainly and more quirk ly than any other, and this is Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. This medicine gets the bowels iu action at once nnd by awakening the liver and kidneys ensures tbe thorough cleansing of the filtering and excretory systems. Witli the poisonous obstructions removed, the digestive system resumes its healthful condition, appetite improves, pains and aches disappear as well as irritability ami depression, You cannot imagine a more satisfactory treatment for biliousness, con- stipation, backache and kidney disease than Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills.

A few years ago Futher Bernard Vaughan preached a course oi aer- mons ou the mania for bridge which was invading smart society. As a matter of fact, bridge is only one ol the many forms of gambling in which the up-to-date society woman Indulges. Her field ot operations in* eludes the Stock Exchange and the Turf, a. w 11 as the bridge clubs and tlie tables at Monte Carlo and Dieppe. The following is a fair sample ot ho^ a member of the ".iiutrt" gum- blixig set speuda her duy. ln the morning, after 4 careful perusal of the sporting news la the duily paper, sne telephones to her bookmuker >ackiug what she considers the likely dinners tor the day. This finished, she either gets through 1, her stockbroker or else motors into the city lor a personal interview with him, Nowadays, many society women huve a very shrewd business instinct. It wns the great ladles ol Mayfair uud llelgruvia who were the first to reap a prolit Irom the rubber boom ol lust year. After lun-'i, our fair gambler turns iu to her card club, where she will play bridge, or its latest developmenl —auction bridge—till dinner time. \fter dinner, more bridge or baocarat, usually at home or at a friend', nouse, What is known as the "card instinct" seems to be more strongly developed in women than In men. At uny rute, the proficiency at bridge ol many prominent ladies of society is astonishing. At the present moment, the best bridge player in London i. the wife of a well-known Guardsman. This lady is generally supposed to make $6,500 a year at bridge, uud this result is due entirely to skill. A curious feature of tho gambling spirit iu society is the way bridge tournaments have taken the place of bazaars. At these tournaments the entrance money and a percentage of the stakes is devoted to some charitable object. A fund organized by the Lord Mayor last spring largely profited by one of these tournaments. Most gamblers are superstitious, lauies especially so. There is a certain countess, well-known in the bridge world, who has a method of her own for testing her luck beiore- hand. Every morning, after breakfast, she plays a couple ol games of patience. If the cards come out well, she regards it as a good omen, and goes to the bridge club early. If the cards arj perverse, she accepts the warning, and abstains from bridge that day. Patience, by the way, ls often made a medium for big gambling, especially that form of it known as "mon- tana." In a certain ladies' club it is uo uncommon sight to see two members gambling heavily at "montuna." One plays the cards, and the other bets her a certain sum against the cards coming out. In this way $50 or fib often changes hands in a single afternoon. As long as they are in England, society women do their gambling in private. But all this secrecy is thrown off aa soon us the Channel is crossed. At Monte Carlo in the winter, and at Dieppe and Dinard in the summer, any casual visitor to the Casinos at thei s places can watch some ol the most exclusive of society dames playing baccarat or cheinin de ler with Tim, Dick, and Harry. They are there for the purpose of gambling, and, so long as they win, it is no concern of theirs from whom their winnings come, or to whom their losses go, lor the matter of that. Many of them gamble in the most reckless lashion; but, with hardly an exception, they are most unemotional players. There is no greater offence than to grumble when one loses or to chortle when one wins. CHOLERA IN INDIA. FiUwIlllem Heir. With the pomp and ceremony ol feudal days, Viscount Milton, the infant heir of Earl and Countess Fitz- William, was, on Saturday, Feb. 11, christened, at Wentworth Woodhouse, Yorkshire, perhaps the mo3t magnificent mansion in the whole of England, and the ceremony acquired an added Interest from the fact that it was the first time for nearly three- quarters of a century that a direct heir had been born to the reigning he I of the family. Outside in the great park hospitality was dispensed on a lavish scale to the seven thousand guests who hsd been bidden to the christening. There were fireworks. football matches, and entertainments galore for the multitude of guests', including all the old English sports. Thousands of people gathered round the giant spit where an ox was roasting, snd countless glasses were railed to the health of the baby heir. Only the immediate relative! and Iriends of the family were present in the little private chapel, and the baby who was the occasion of all the festivities without was carried Into the chapel wearing the historic .carl of the Fitzwilliams. According to tradi. lion, this scraf was presented by William the Conquerer to Sir William Fitswilliam tor valor at the battle ol Hustings. Distinctly Tall.

Htw Mahomedam Seek to Avert till Dread Plague. During the past century cholera haa ; made frequent ravages in India, which this year also has crept into I the valley silently along with the Hindu pilgrims, ash-besmeared ta- ; j kirs, little children, men and women ; I from every part of India on their way i I up to the sacred caves of Amaranth 1 —which are situated in the mow- I covered mountains at the top of the valley—either by the pass over the j Pir Panjal range or along the 125 miles of road which leads here from the nearest railroad station. Rawal Pindi, in the Punjab. Despatches describe the methods to avert the cholera adopted by these semi-developed Mahomedans, who i have many superstitions, more of a Hindu character than in accordanece with the faith they profess to follow. A small party of men and women parnde up and down following some leaders with a long pole from the top I of which flutters a small triangular j flag, the very shape of which is Hin- du, and a couple of tom-toms; this 's to invoke the aid ol some of the many saints these people worship. The , fact that the pilgrims carry "chntis" j is due to a brilliant notion arrived ! ut by the chief "mullah," or priest, I of a mosque situated on the hill crowned by the fort of Akb&r, whleh is seen in the distance. He had a vision this year, and in consequence it was iini*ed abroad that the tank of the holy edifice, which had lain parched and dry for some time, must be tilled if the cholera were to ,be subdued. So inhabitants from villages fur and near flocked to the capital carrying "gurrahs" ot watcr, which were emptied into the holy tank whether they had been brought from some badly-infected district or not. Each villager, feeling that he had cone all in his power to avert the calamity, returned happily enough, little realizing that perhaps he was destined to die on his several duys' march back or was carrying infection to his hitherto unaffected home from this city tf mud-roofed houses, in which dwell huddled to- getbe- some 120,000 exceedingly dirty inhabitants. What can a civilised nation do (writes our correspondent) to help j such ignorant wretches, who will go down to the river, wash themselves and their clothes, throw all refuse into it, and then drink of Us water in preference to that brought through pipes clean and pure, direct from the snows, to their very doorsP The Fatteh Kadi is vcrv typical of those in Kashmir. Built up entirely of timber and the foundations of the piers being boats fill led with stones to sink them to the bed of the river, the skeleton structure stands the strain particularly well when the river rises to flood level. The quaint spired building In the distance, is the greut mosque of Shnh Humadan, a Muhomedan saint of repute who established Islam in the valley. His brief martyrdom seems to have taken place on his return journey from Kashmir; it is said thut after his death his coffin miraculously completed the journey to Kuttan in Persin by itself. He was poisoned, one may surmise, by someone who resented his having converted the Hindu priest of the ancient temple on the site of which the mosque stands. )'*__t,h to remember len you nesd a remedy ■ COUCHS and COLD8 BEST ADD HEAITH TO MOTHER MO CHILD.

WATERYBLOOD IN THE SPRING How To Get New Health and New Strength at This Season Even the most robust find the winter months trying to their health. Confinement indoors, often in overheated and nearly always badly, ven* tilated rooms—in the house, the office, the shops und the school—taxes the vitality of even the strongest. The blood becomes thin and watefy or clogged with impurities. Some people have headaches and a feeling of languor; others are low spirited and nervous; still others have pimples and skin eruptions; while some get up in the morning feeling just as tired as when they went to bed. These are nil .spring symptoms that the blood is out of order, and that a medicine is needed. Many people rusli to purgative medicines in the spring. This is a mistake. You can-1 not cure these troubles with a medicine that gallops through your system ond leaves you weaker still.! What you need to give you health I and strength in the spring is n tonic medicine that will enrich thc blond j and soothe the jangled nerves, and the one always reliable tunic and blood-builder is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, These Pills not only banish spring weaknesses and ills but guardI you against the more serious ailments that follow, such ns anaemia, nervous debility, indigestion, rheumatism and other diseases due t<i bad blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually mnke new, rich, red blood, | which strengthens every nerve, every organ and every part of the body, mid makes weak, ailing peoplo bright, happy and strong. Mrs. Jas, McDonald, Harcourt, N.M., says; "In my opinion Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do all thai is claimed for tbem. My system was run down, and I was so weak I could hardly do my work, and taking care of my baby added to my difficulties. 1 used a few boxen of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and they made me feol like my own self.

Many years ago there were few better known characters in Manchester than Mr. S. Brooke, the wealthy ond eccentric banker. Of "Sam Brooke" innumerable stories were told, illustrative of his acuteneas or his waggery. One day, as he was seated on the knifeboord of an omnibus, ho was joined by an acquaintance who, years before, hnd been one of his schoolfellows. After some general conversation hi-, companion said: "Mr. Brooke, there is one thing I very much want to ask you." "Ah, what is thatP" "Well, all through your career every tiling you have touched has seemed to turn to gold. My experience, unfortunately, has been precisely the opposite. Now, what I want to know is—your secret." "My secret." replied the banker, with a knowing look. "You don't suppose I am going to tell you that for nothing. But I wlll tell you what I will do. Give me a sovereign ond you shall hear it. It is worth that." "Oh, Mr. Brooke, you are joking." "No, 1 am not. If you want to know mv secret, there are the terms." Finally his interlocuter hesitatingly drew out the coin, which was promptly pocketed. "Now," _aid the banker, "you have paid for my secret, and you shall have it. It is in a nutshell. I never spend a shilling till I have made half a crown." Coiir bi|h-fii^«mbo*-Md»ttl lovtly oolora ud cold.

Few people are aware to this day that the Falkland Islands (the birthplace, by the way, of Miss Ellaline Terriss) nre marked in all Argentine maps aud geographies as "unlawful ly retained by Great Britain," The origin of the dispute was that this country, after abandoning the Uland.- in 1774, resumed possession in 1820 The Argentine Government protested and, as Mr. A. Stuart Pennington points out fn his book on the coun try, is even to*day "careful to d< nothing which could even apparently recognize the rights of the present possessors."

I'l :OSPF.CTOR, CRANBkOOK, 0: I'M BIA Cross of Honor the Blue Ribbon America's leadership in the march of progress has now become something more than a mere patriotic belief. It has not only been conceded, but has been proclaimed in trumpet tones by a congress of the nations of the world. National pre-eminence has found equal expression and appreciation in international preference for Pabst BlueRibbon The Beer of Quality Sales both at home and abroad have indicated this preference before; but today it itands conclusively proven by the cross of honor and medals illustrated on this page— trophies of a competition which marks an epoch in the history of brewing. By these decorations, and by the diploma which accompanied them, the International Pure Food and Hygienic Exposition at Antwerp declares Pabst Blue Ribbon to be absolutely the finest of the world's brews—the peer of all beers in purity, nutritive properties and general excellence. Thc true significance of this award lies not alone in the fact that famous American and European beers were entered in the competition : but that Pabst Blue Ribbon was the unit/ beer that successfully withstood all the prescribed tests. Other beers deteriorated; they changed color; or lost their taste. Pabet Blue Ribbon alone showed a perfect score, and thus proved itself veritably the one real "Beer of Quality. This award is no surprise to those who know Pabst; but it is worth ponderin ■; b. those who drink other beers, or none. The perfection of Pabst Blue Ribbon is the logical result of a lifetime devote .1 I j the attainment of perfection in brewing. Pabst Blue Ribbon is a nutritious beer because it contains all of the food portico of the barley grain—a result of the Pabst eight day natural malting process. Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is an invigorating beer because it contains the tonic j roj erties of the choicest hops. Pabst Blue Ribbon is a pure beer because it is made under perfect conditions ol ea. j and cleanliness. Pabst Blue Ribbon is the ideal home beverage because it contains a very small percentage '3i'r?) of alcohol. It is truly a temperate drink, invigorating and healthful. Made by Pabst at Milwaukee and Bottled only at the Brewery A. L. Phone 17 McDERMOT, Distributor CRANBROOK, B. C.
