Joaeph Chamberlain, the Liberal Unionist!)' leader in the Eouae of Commons, declares that his views on the subject have undergone no change. He does not seek, however, to bind the Liberal Unionists to his views. It is bis belief that the solution of the question must be found through purchase only. Dual ownership by means of the tenant fixing authority, has no element of finality. Tne suite ought to adopt legislation pioviding that when three fourths of the tenants of any estate are anxiousto buy, the landlords shall be compelled to sell, Iu the case of landlords having to sell, if three fourths of the tenants refuse to buy, the state will purchase. The landlord will get a fair value for his property, excluding any thing for the compulsory sale of the first grant allotted. The effeot of the operation ought not to exceed ��33,000,000 as proposed in the Balfour Act. The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce haB sent a petition to the House of Commons protesting against the employer's liability bill as adverse to tbe shipping interests. thai oily. His life waa in great part devoted to commercial pursuits, varied by attention to politics. He co-operated wiih the Tilley party, who worked for Confederation and afterwards for the introduc.ion of protectionism. In 1879 he was made a senator, gar Squure last Sunday. Sir Henry AsquWi, Home Secretary, ordered Mr Edward Brant- ford, Chief Commissioner of Police, to prevent the meeting. The anarohists announced their intention to hold a meeting in spite of ths authorities. They had upon several previous Sundays held meetings in Trfalgar Square, and had been tolerated by the authorities on the ground that tiny were not dangerous, and that the mere fact of suppressing them would call undue attention to a class of people whose vaporing* were only dan- K*�� ]S1 ESS! &!-%��!+ *�����-�� **. ^ $>���� ��*��� if - A Dangerous Sentiment. Dublin, Dec. 5.���Timothy Harrington, member of Parliament for the harbor divi siou of Dublin, addressed a meeting of the National League in this oity thia evening. He said that since the Mathews commission made its report, the Oovernment had shown no internum to carry out the commission's recommendations. lhe National League wished to keep the country peaceable aa long aa poaaible, but if peace was to be maintained only by keeping the unhappy evicted tenants in their preaent position, it would not be maintained by them (ap plause). When the proper time came the league would not be alow in advising evioted tenants to retake their holdings. he held many public positions in St. John. No Truth In It. Ottawa, Dec. 5.���A recent Washington despatch stated that the work of United States immigration inspectors at. Halifax is causing difficulty with the Canadian authorities, the people of Halifax complaining that European paupers, cripples and criminals are dumped into Canada by the United States officials. Hon Mr. Daly, Minister of the Interior, says there is not a scintilla of truth in the despatch. There has not been the slightest difficulty with lhe Canadian authorities, because ihe examination of immigrants is made altogether on shipboard. If the inspectors should eject auy immigrant as ineligible to enter the United States, he would not be allowed to settle in Canada. No European paupers, cripplea and criminals are allowed to land in Canada under any circumstances. Only one immigrant has been rejected by the United Statea officers since the inspection arrangement came into force. The New Italian Cabinet. Rome, Dec: 5.���It is definitely announced this evening that the new cabinet has been constructed as follows: President of the council and minister of the interior, Giuseppe Sanardelli; minister of the treasury and ad-interim minister of finance, Pietro Vacchelli; miniater of justice, Calcedonio Inghilleri; miniater of works, Alesaandro Fortes; minister of war, General San Mar- zano; miniater of agriculture, Franceso Ecou Oitu; minister of posis and telegraphs, Scipiune Dibhtsio; minister of foreign affairs, Ort-sti Bor*tieri; minister of instruction, Niccolo Galli; minister of marine, rear- admiral Carlo Alberto Racchia. A Chance for a Dime Novelist. Paris, Dec. 5.���The naval tribune at Brest began to-day the trial of Alexander and Joseph Rorique, brothers, and another man named Mirea, on the charge of mutiny and murder. The defendants were members of the crew of lhe Minoihati, a vessel belonging to �� Tahitian prince, in January, 1892. It is said they mutinied, shot the native captain and the English aupercargo Gibson, aud poisoned six Kanaka seamen. Then they seized the veasel, loaded her with various products, valued at 40,000 francs and changed the ship's name. They landod at little frequented islands, impressed Polynesian natives into the orew and disposed of the cargo at various prices, finally arriving at Ponape, The Roriquee, fearing that Mirea could not be trusted, threatened him with murder. Mirea, who is a half-caste, waa the cook of the Minor- hati, aud it waa he who, at the suggestion of the other mutineers, poisoned the food of the Kanakas. The threats of murder so alarmed Mirea that, he made confession to the Gov ernment officials. The case haa caused a sensation in Brest. The precincts of the court were crowded throughout the day and until 8 o'clock this evening. The actual accusation fills 16 pages aud reads like a thrilling novel. The only pure Cream of Tartar Powder.���No Ammonia; No Alum. Uaed in Millions of Homes���40 Years the Standard The Corn Duty in France. Paris, Dec. 5.���M. Leyguea, a member of the Chamber of Deputies for the Viileneuve Surlot division of Loire et Garonne, one of the prinoipal agricultural departments, of France, said in an interview to-day that he intenda to propoae in the chambi r au increase of duty from five to eight francs. The proposed increase of duty, he believes, would enable French corn growers to gain a fair living, wheieas, at present, they are verging on ruin. The inorease would not, he said, augment the retail price of bread, but would diminish speculators' and middlemen's profits. He does not think that the raising of the duty would affeot importation from Amerioa. WIU Possibly be Re-organlzed. Rom, Deo. 5.���It is stated that the Credit Mobilier has received a foreign offer to assist in forming a new concern, securing Srovinoial connections and easing the liqui- ation. The Rome courts made a role today empowering the Credit Mobilier's foreign branches to cash its checks, against whioh funds are deposited.

Toronto, Dec. 4.���The reaults of the two bye elections for the Ontario Legislature in the ridings of Nori h Bruce aud East Lamb- ton proved a great surprise to the Mowatt Government, which received good majorities in both constituencies at the general election three years ago. East L imbton returned McCullum, the Protestant Protf ct.ive Association oandidate, by 403 majority, while North Bruce elected McNaughion, the Patrons of Industry candidate, by over 500. The Empire, commenting on the result of the bye elections, says: "The elections go to show what we have been contending, that there was widespread dissatisfaction with the Mowatt policy. The Province is saturated with discontent with the men and methods of the administration, and as the general election can only be a few months off, events certainly aeem to point to the downfall of the Government in the near lulure." A Noted Cleric Dead. St. Johns, Nfld. Deo. 6.���The most Rev. Thomas Joseph Powers, Roman Catholic bishop of St. Jobna, died yeaterday aged 63. He was born in Ireland in 1830 and was ordained priest in 1854. He was consecrated bishop of this diocese in 1870 and was a man of great intellectual attainments He accomplished wonderful results in this diocese. He died almost suddenly, having been taken sick ouly Sunday Bishop Brennan, formerly of Dallas, Texas, was appointed his assistant two months ago. Troopship Tyne Arrives. Halifax, Dec. a.���The troopship Tyne, from Porimouth ria Madeira and Bermuda, with drafts, arrived this afternoon. Besides drafts for Halifax she brought 112 men and three officers for H.M.S. Royal Arthur, now at Vanouver, to go by Canadian Paoific railway. More Arrests. Dublin, Dec. 5.���Two arrests were made yesterday. The men are supposed to ha.e been concerned in the recent dynamite e n- rage at Oldborough barracks. Dupuy President. Paris, Dec 5.���In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Dupuy waa elected president, receiving 251 votis, as against 213 for Bris- son. Elected by Acclamation. Ottawa, Dec. 5.���Sir Jamea Grant was today elected by acclamation, the Liberals not placing a candidate in opposition. Will Cause Suffering. < New Yu. *, Dec. o.���J. J. Mollehauer of the Mollehauer Sugar Refining Co., of Brooklyn aaid to-day: "There are about 6,000 men employed in the refineries on the Williamsburg water front alone. We could not if the propoaed schedule became a law pay these men half what they receive now. They probably would not work at reduced wages and we undoubtedly would be obliged to shut down." It is admitted that 20,000 people would be affected in Brooklyn if the refineries should shut down. To Defend the Public School Question. New York, Dec. 5.���The executive committee of the National League for the protection of Amerioan institutions has issutd a oircular appealing to all loyal Amerioan citizens to ou-operate in every feasible way in the defence of the Amerioan free public school system. The circular explains that the reason for anxiety for the school system just now ia that a movement with audacious demands and specious claims has been initiated in New York state' for the division of publio school funds on sectarian lines, and it is announced that the same programme is propoaed for all the states. WIU Get More Money. PhiladesVhia, Dec. 5.���Jndge Dallas, in the United States Circuit Court to-day, confirmed the report of special master Crawford, wherein the latter approves of the making of an agreement between the Reading railroad and the Finance Company of Pennsylvania. By this arrangement the Reading will be enabled to obtain an advance to the amount of $3,000,000 from the company, instead of $1,000,000 under the eld agreement. attempt upon the part of the police to prevent them, but the attention of the House of Commons was called to the fact that the anarchists at the last meeting in Trafalgar square openly advocated a policy of blood and dynamite, and beld up for glorification the dynamite outrages at Barcelona, Marseilles and other places. The result was that the borne secretary did not dare to allow any further rope to the reds of London, and the police that afternoon mustered a strong force about Trafalgar Square, while reserves were stationed in Regent street, Waterloo Place, Charing Cross road, Northumberland avenue and on the Thames Embankment. The anarchists began to muster at 3 o'clock. The display of forces caused many thousands to flock to the neighborhood. Male and female anarchists mixed among the people assembled about the square and began hawking anarchist literature, which found ready sale among the people. Copies of the Common Weal, the organ of the anarchists of London, found ready sale. It contained an article which weloomed the Barcelona outrage as "a great and good act." Anarchist and socialist manifestoes were also distributed broadcast through tbe crowds. Gradually the number of socialists and anarchis's waa so augmented that it gaiued couragfc euough lo puth toward tbe center of the square. Finally a large and excited crowd of anarchists and socialists collected inside the square. The police compelled the reds to move on. This caused lhe anarchista to wave hats and hoot the police, while aome of the spectators cheered and others hissed At exactly 3:10 a number of anarchists made a null for th.- steps at the foot of the Gordon statue, and one immediately began to malre a wild address to those who had rushed up to the steps with him, but the anarchist orator had hardly uttered his first sentence before a number of policemen charged up to the apot and dislodged the reds from the ateps. The attempt of the anarchists to hr.ld thia meeting wem followed by similar attempts, whioh resulted in a number of lively brushea with the police. During the dispersing of these anarchist groups a number of reds were pretty roughly handled by the police, who threw them from the steps. Eventually the anarchists on the square became so demonstrative that a further detachment of fifty police was sent to the square. Suddenly an anarchist rushed through the lines of the police, scaled a monument and began to address the crowd around him, but had ouly U' tired a few words when a policeman eeiztd him and threw him bodily into the crowd. As the anarchist still tried to speak he was seized by two policemen and hustled off to the station, followed by a shouting' crowd. Shortly before 3:30 a further detachment of mounted police was summoned to Trafalgar Square, and, after drawing up in line, charged the mob, scattering them in all directions, after which the horsemen took up a position on the south side facing the square, and the police on foot began to aisperse the mob, who made but slight resistance. About 4:30 a large body of anarchists made a rush down Parliament street with the intention of reaching Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the police, said to have been left with only a small guard of policemen, but the superintendent of the division policemen promptly dispatched a strong force of mounted and foot police to Scotlar d Yard, the horsemen reaching the point before the anarchists, and with the assistance of police on foot the mob waa scattered after much scuffling. In other parts of Trafalgar square the police had their hands full keeping the crowd in movement. Additional policemen were aent for and made several charges down Northumberland avenue, past the Yictoria Hotel and Grand Hod. Mounted police aJsu i barged through Pall Mall, diiviug the .narchists before them. The police made a number of arrests, the prisoners being followed to the stations by angry and excited crowds of anarchists, who loudly cursed Home Sec- retaiy Henry Asqutth. g The "Gazette's" Opinion. London, Deo. 5.���The Pall Mall Gazette, commenting on the President's measage, aays : The President shows that his courage has not been diminished by the inexplicable reversal he has met with in his policy of government. The statement in tbe message in reference to Hawaii causes ex-President Harrison to hang hia head and hide his blushes. Referring in the tariff, it says, in the face of deficit, it is courageous to advocate cheaper tariffs. Another Infernal Maohine Scare. London, Dec. 5.���Great dismay and fear wsb caused this morning among sheriff's fficers who had been sent to distrain on furniture belonging to a man named Schneider, living at Hampstead. The officers found a suspicious looking trunk in Schneider's apartments and on opening it discovered what is believed to be an infernal maohine. It was taken to Bow street station. Schneider ia from America. Against Caprivi. Berlin, Dec. 5.���There is an increased agitation against the Russian and other commercial treaties and against Caprivi personally. This angers the Emperor. Shonld the chancellor be influenced to resign office, the Emperor will not accept his resignation, preferring rather to dissolve the Prussian Landtag, whioh he considers the hotbed of intrigue*. NANAIMO, B. C., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1893. THE ASSIZE COURT Opened Yeaterday, Juattiee Crease Pre- BucUng ��� The Grand Jur-fe Preeent- nunt. Ths Fall Asaizes opened here yeaterday, Hon. Mr. Juatice Crease presiding. Mr. Gordon Hunter, Crown attorney, prosecuted. The following Grand Jury were called and sworn: Fred. L. Fisher (foreman), Thomas Bennett, John W. Bryden, E. W. Bickle, J. H. Daviaon, J. 0. English, T. C. Galloway, Alex. Hendersdn, Jamea Kennedy, John Love, Murdoch Matheaon, Louis Mounce, William Pringle, Bertram Steven- ton, Ernest Robertson, Richard Marshall, John Teague, Duncan MeNiven, Archibald McGregor and Edward Taylor. Mr. Registrar Bray informed the court that there were no cases to come before the jury. Hia Lordship then Addressed the Jury, nforming that body that the fact that there were n> cases to come before them was due to the new act which gave the prisoners the opportunity of relieving the jury and casting the responsibility upon the judge. His Lordship said he realized the great assist- assiatance rendered the court by a jury in trying cases of a grave nature, and said : *'I shall be very sorry to see the day when the jury system will be done away with and the whole responsibility thrown upon the judge." Judges, he said, were human, the same as other mortals, and liable to similar influences that affect other men. Besides, the court and the jury working together in harmony were better able to deal with a case than the judge alone, Referring more especially to the Speedy Trials Act, His Dordship said: " 1 believe it a popular mode of trial both with the prisoner ae well as with the profession, aad consequently a great aucceaB, though I should not like to see it extended." He congratulal ed Nanaimo and district on the absence of serious criminal cases and the obedience to law and order prevailing here. The Grand Jury then entered when the petit jury were called and dismissed but not discharged. The Judge remarked he was sorry indeed to aee the absence of the members of the Bar at the reading of the Queen's commission. After adjournment the case of Joe Shuok, a Chinaman, was called. Mr. Barker, counsel for the prisoner, asked for an adjournment for half an hour. The judge enlarged the case until ten o'clock this morning in order to allow the council to consult the witnesses for the defence. In the meantime trie charge of larceny against Francis Robinson, Henry Bradley Joaeph Welsh and Sweatman for stealing from David Spencer, on the Crescent, Nanaimo a quantity of silk handkerchiefs, was proceeded with. Mr. Spencer, jr. being called, deposed: I am manager of my father's store in Nanaimo. I missed from our store sometime within two weeks before the time Sergeant Gibbs spoke to me of them, a quantity of silk handkerchiefs, about six dozen. I identify the piece of cardboard box by the writing thereon, as belonging to our store, being part of a box containing Bilk handkerchiefs. Silk handkerchief produced marked "J" is the same color and design as some that were contained in the box. All the others look like our goods bat there are no marks by which I can identify them. I have no doubt the handkerchiefs produced are ours. I missed another box about thirteen inches square which was filled with Bilk handkerchiefs also. I also missed a grey shawl, (not produced). It disappeared on the evening of the day on which Sergeant Gibba came to inform me of the handkerchiefs. To prisoner Sweatman, the witness said he haa never seen any of the prisoners in the store. Benjamin Baker being sworn, said:���I live on Haliburton street, Nanaimo. Am attending bar at the Dew Drop Inn. I recognize prisoners Sweatnam and Welch. I saw them on the 24th November of thia year. They came into the hotel about 9 o'clock in the evening and asked for a drink. I refused them, they having no money. Sweatman offered me a handkerchief, upon receipt of which I gave them a drink. He left the handkerchief on the counter and went out. Handkerchief produced looks like the one he left with me. I saw Sergeant Gfbbs a day or two after; I gave him the handkerchief, John Hough, being sworn, said:���I live in Nanaimo. Am an hotel keeper and proprietor of the Balmoral House, Haliburton street. I have seen the four prisoners in my hotel. They aaked me what I would give for certain handkerchiefs which they showed me; not like any produced here; don't know if they were silk; did not buy nor handle them. Samuel Fox, being sworn, said:���I live in Nanaimo and work in the International Hotel. I recognize Bradley, Sweatman and Welch; saw them in the hotel about the 23rd November; they bought a drink. One of the prisoners (Sweatman) placed a handkerchief on the bar and wanted two bits' worth of whiskey for it. Handkerchief produced resembles the one offered. I gave them the whiskey; they left the handkerchief on the bar. Sergeant Gibbs came in and I gave it to him. To prisoner Sweatman���I am sure you are the man who giirje me the handkerchief. Alex, Johns, being sworn, said, by aid of an interpreter:���I live in Nanaimo camp. Know Robinson; met him near Mr. Robins' house. He stopped me and pulled out of his pocket a handkerchief and wanted to sell it to me for fifty cents. He offered me three. Hand kerchiefs marked "L"and "M" now shown to me are two ot those carried by prisoner. I bought the two for fifty centa. Mr. Gibbs came to the oamp and got them from me. I saw the other three men selling handkerchiefs in ihe camp at Nanaimo about two weeks ago. Asked them where they got them; Sweatman replied from his friends. Saw Sweatman tear a mark off one of the handkerchiefs. Robinson was not at the camp. Edward Mills Norton, being sworn, said: I live in Nanaimo, know Robinson the prisoner, I got a handkerchief from him, I think the one here produced. He gave it to me on the street I did not see him with any other handkerchiefs. This occurred about two weeks ago. A young fellow took it out of my pocket. Bill Sim Sim (Indian) being sworn said, by aid of an interperler: Know Sweetman and Bradley. ; The latter came into my house to sell lhe a coat and handkerchief, being the one here produced marked "L." I bought the coat for $1; he offered the handkerchief for fifty oents; I got it for thirty five cents. I heard Sergeant Gibbs was looking for these artioles end I gave them to him. Sergeant Gibbs, being sworn said: Am sergeant of Nanaimo Police. Being shown the handkerchiefs in court, I found the pieces of the box in the cabin wbereBradley, Welch and Sweetman live, I arrested Sweetman and Welch m the cabin, Bradly in the Crescent Hotel and Robinson outside the Crescent on the street; Sweetman and Welch about 3:30 in the morning, Bradley about five o'clock in the evening, and Robinson the following Tuesday. Fooud the handkerchiefs produced npon Robinson ; the others I got from the former witnesses. Heard prisoners Sweetman, Welch and Bradley talking in the cell; one of them said, "that other son-of-a-b h gave ua away." They made a statement in the court house that Robinson got those handkerchiefs for wagea. This finished the evidence for the Crown. Tbe learned judge asked the prisoners each to come into the box and be examined under oath if they chose. Bradley being sworn, said: I live in Nanaimo. I found these handkerchiefs in a cabin on Haliburton street, where I went to live. Sweetman, Welch and I were there together; we went out selling them; we gave a few to Robinson. We were under the influence of liquor all the time. Have been in jail twioe for drunkenness, in Nanaimo, and once in Vancouver. Have been steam- boating, fishing and sealing. Prisoner Welch took the* stand and corroborated Bradley's statement. Prisoner Robinson, being sworn, said: Sweetman gave me three handkerchiefs for a pair of boots, at his cabin, he took them from a box under his mattress. I sold two of those he gave me and kept the other, I stole the boota I traded to him for the proceeds of his steal. I was in jail in Nanaimo once, about six months ago. Prisonei Sweatman being sworn, aaid he was thirty years old, and corroborated Bradley and Welch. All the prisoners were found guilty, the judge reserving sentence. The Grand Jury yesterday afternoon made their presentment to bis lordship, urging that the deputy registrar at Nanaimo be given power to issue writs of summons for the Supreme Court; and that appropriations be made by the Government for a new court house in this city. His Lordship replied thanking the jury for their services and assured them that he would urge their requests before the proper authorities. ire LIFE THE OLD RELIABLE Issues Policies on all the Latest Plans at Greatly Reduced . .

The Grand Jury in their preaentment urged the construction of better buildings for court purposes, also that arrangements be made to transact all business pertaining to Supreme Court work here. We hope that the recommendations of the Grand Jury will receive proper consideration at the hands of the Government, and that the necessary appropriations will be made at the next session for these purposes. The need of a land registry office is also greatly felt in thia city. Complaints are heard almost daily at the inconvenience which the public is put to from the want of a local land and registry office; and the fact that this is a large and important district doing a very large, daily increasing business should not be lost sight of by the Govern ment, even though our representatives may not have impressed the matter upon its members. The time has now arrived when steps should be taken with a view to have the proper records kept in this city aa the centre of a district extending, aay from (Jowichan to the north of the island. Enquiries mide at the Government office at the present time elicit the information that a very large number of records are received there to be transmitted to Victoria for registration, and that thia is in ali probability but one half of those sent down, as many people, instead of bringing their papers to the Government office for transmission, send them direct. Moreover, after being sent down, months often elapse before any return of a certificate is forwarded, as these application for record have to take their turn. Seldom is a return made inside of a week. All this delay and bother could be obviated by having a local land and registry office attended by a properly qualified legal . gentleman, and we feel confident that the expense connected therewith would be more than met by the increased satisfaction given to the public in the transaction of their business. We hope that, in tho plans of the building which we hope the Government will shortly order to be drawn, the necessities of a land and registry office will not be lost sight of. Nanaimo has grown considerably in the past four years, and we are satisfied its importance and requirements have only to be properly represented to the Government to receive due consideration. In fact, this is one of the matters that should have received the attention of local representatives during the past two or thrre yeara, Had this been done, instead of the time of the House being taken up in ventilating personal grievances or in opposition to the Government for the sole purpose of assistinl others to secure their job, it would have been muoh better for thia city and the country at large- ���_________ Powderly Will Give Them Up. Nkw York, Dec. 6.���Three new members of the general executive board of the Knights of Libor���Mr. Jamea N. Kenny, of Omaha; H. Ii. Martin, of Minneapolis, and C. A. French, of Marlboro, Maas.���went over to Elba Island yeaterday afternoon. The object of their visit was to thoroughly inspect the manner of landing and disposing of immigrants, and particularly the disposal of those who were contract labor suspects. It so happened to-day that many who had come to work in the mines of the country under contraot were barred. When the labor men had finished their journey, Mr. French was seen and expressed himself in terms of praise of the method now in vogue, and said that he thought it a great improvement over the old system at Castle Garden, which he carefully inspected a few years ago. He said the grand maater workman elect, James R. Sovereign, had intended being one of the party, but was detained in the city. In speaking of the reported refusal of Mr. Powderly to give up the papers and documents in his possession belonging to the order, Mr. French said:��� "I do not think it is his intention even to make an effort to retain them. Before I left Philadelphia he assured me that as soon as he returned to Scranton, he would collect together everything belonging to the order and forward them to the proper party." Still on the Rooks. San Francisco, Dec. 5.���The'steamer City of New York is atill resting on the rocks at Point Bonita. The pontoons have not yet been towed out to her and it is said thatHhe delay is occasioned by the fact that the workmen on the steamer have not stated that they are ready for the pontoons. More favorable weather the wreckers oan hardly expect and if she cannot be made to float she will naturally hare to be abandoned. ~"~~~ Wh"j Grow Old. I And that if old people are put on a food meat diet ia the way of strong loup, beef tea and animal food, and only just sufficient farinaceous food and fats and sugar to maintain the heat of the body, they increase wonderfully in energy and, as they often express it, feel 20 years younger. This is only natural; it is a food of energy���the food that builds up muscle, nerve and constitutional stamina. The requirements of the system in old age as a rule are not great, and more barm is done by taking too much food than by taking too little. I have known people considerably over 70 to deri ve the greatest benefit from a thorough change in diet. It seems to rejuvenate them. Of course in old age care should be taken that the body is not subjected to rapid changes of temperature. When tho nervous power is decreasing as the result of age and the system is losing its power of combating cold and strain upon its energy, a stimulating diet invigorates and is conducive to maintaining constitutional Stamina better than any other. Any natural death but from old age and general decay is an accidental death ���that is, it is due to causes which might, and even perhaps could, have been entirely avoided and remedied in earlier years.���Gentleman's Magazine. Most Young Meu Are Afraid of Bablea. "The average young l.ian," said a traveler, "has no great fondness for young children. I don't know bow many times I have heard a mother who was carrying a little child, and who had halted in the aisle of a railroad car say, referring to the vacant seat and addressing the young man by the window, 'Is this seat taken?' And I don't know how many times 1 have seen the young man's face lengthen as be answered politely, 'No.' The mother takes the seat Hnd the young man begins to grow restless. He reads tho paper still, but he keeps his eye on the baby, and you may be sure the baby has its eye on him���a beaming, good natural eye it is, too���and the young man finds it not the easiest thing in the world to appear wholly unconstrained with attention thus drawn to him, but he makes a bluff at it and does pretty well until tbe infant moistens one chubby fist in its mouth and reaches out to make a print of it on the lapel of the young man's coat. Then tbe young man rises. 'Madam,' he says, 'let me givo you this Beat,' and he steps out into tbe aisle. And ho doesn't look for another Beat in that car. Ho makes a bee line for the smoker."���New York Sun. The Food We F.na. Hardly a day passes tbat we do not receive some shock*, that wo aro not asked to give up some favorite dish around which clusters a host of tender early memories, and after eating of which we have for 20 years on end felt ourselves grow fat and childlike and untlyspeptic. But the modern hygiene says it must go, and if we retain it on our list we do it iu an anxious and guilty mood sure of itself to beget internal trouble. Seemingly simple things like dry toast, oatmeal and apples we have heard forbidden of late as hard to take care of, and bananas, or, for example, the delicious, but as we supposed deadly, fried bacon cried up as food for babes and sucklings. This is puzzling���it goes against personal experience, it upsets all our dietary plans and pleasures, and it awakens the shrewd suspicion that mere fashion is at thu bottom of the change. ���Hartford Courant. Cold Air In Plaee of lee. I predict that 10 years from now tbe familiar ico wagon will be a novelty upon tbe streets of a city, so general will have been the adoption of arlit.'cial-rB- frigeration. For a long time brewers, pork packers and storage meu have been independent of the ice crop, and the introduction of the cold air pipe lines down town has supplanted the use of ice in ho- t'ds, restaurants and barrooms except wherein it is desired to make a displnv of tbe crystal commodity, Intimetl.e distribution of cold air will be as general in cities as is gas or water, nnd the system will be perfected whereby the refrigerating gas necessary for attachment to a family refrigerator will bo delivered in a tank just like carbonated water is to the soda fountains, once a month or as required.���St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Duellnir In France. Until within a few years dueling in France was bo common that 5,000 such encounters were fought every year. The vast majority of these occurred in the army, but in 181K) M. de Freyiiuet, the minister of war, discouraged the practice and rendered it optional under oir- cuinsiuncrs in which it hud been considered imperative. Among civilians, however, the game goes merrily on, being chiefly sustained by angry politicians or excited journalists. It was calculated in 18H6 that since 1870 847 duels bad been fought in France outside the army. In only nine instances were any of the combatants disabled, while 98 per ceut of those engaged left the field unscathed. ���London Tit-Bits. A Sharp Passage. The English marriage service was the subject of conversation. Lowe said in his dashing way tbat it was full of nonsense.

"Ah, Robert," she replied, "but there were your brains!" "Well," he said, "all the world knows that I did not endow you with them."��� "Life aad Letters of Viacooat Sher- brooka."

The accident occurred through hia jumping off a oar nnd tripping on tbe buffer, which reaulted in I In owing bim on to the track, the firat car falling on him. The boy Dave McGuimpey mnnsged, after conaiderable difficulty, to release mm by pushing the three back cars up the track and lifting the firat one off Alec, who will be confined to hia bed for several weeks, having badly twisted his ankle. Medium pey is to be commended for his prompt action. Charles Williams, a mule-driver, got bad kick on the head whilst driving ou one of the levels in the Northfield mine. THE PROVINCIAL CAPITAL Tenders for the Parliament Buildings Finally Awarded. Victokta, Dec. 5.���[Special]���The Board of Trade this afternoon endorsed the amalgamation of the provincial pilotage authorities and passed a resolution urging tho Government to take the matter in hand if satisfactory arrangements oannot otherwise, be made. The contracts for the construction of the new parliament buildings were awarded today, six out of seven of the lowest tenderers for the several branches of the work being Victorians and the seventh a Vancouverite. The aggregate amount will be well within the legislative appropriation for the work. The names of the successful firms are: For mason work, Frederick Adams; carpenter work, Bishop k Sherbourne; plasterer's work, Richard Drake; coppersmith's work, W. H. Perry; plumber's work, H. T. Flett; ironfounder's work, Albion Iron Works Company; painting, E. Spillman, The last named is of Vancouver. Construction will be proceeded with immediately, as the foundations have already been oompleted. Warden Moresby of Westminster jail arrived to-day with the prisoner Stroebel, who to-morrow will be put on his trial for the Huntingdon murder. The case has been materially strengthened since it was pre sented to the Westminster jury, who failed to agree on a verdict. Herbert Pendray, while examining a .22 calibre rifle in the hands of Harry Redfern, a young companion, this morning, reoeived a bullet in the lungs. He is now in a precarious condition, and hia death is hourly anticipated. The steamer Viotoria to-day brings word of terrific storms on the Japanese coast. On November 10th a small steamer returning from Hierata to Mutsu was wrecked in lower Shishido lake, the cargo ahifting and causing the vessel to founder in five fathoms of waUr. Thirty-five out of sixty-four passengers were saved. A prosecution has been commenced against the engineer for culpable negligence in tbe stowage of cargo, which caused the disaster. Their Opinion of It, Washington, Deo. 5.���Senator Sherman, Republican, Ohio, when asked his opinion of the President's message, declined to talk about it at all, saying that he had not been able to pay close attention to its reading and did not care to discuss a subject upon which he could not talk intelligently. Mr. Mitchell, Republican, Oregon, observed that the message in its foreign policy and with special reference to Hawaii, waa simply indefensible. "Its endorsement of tbe tariff," continued Mr. Mitchell, "is the endorsement of that Which strikes a death blow to every industry of the Pacifio coast." Speaking for the Populist party, Mr. Peffer, Populist, Kansas, said: "Tbe me-s- age fulfils a prediction I made during the reoent debate on the ailver question, and that was tbat there would be no hope for the financial legislation at this session of Congress. Be} oud that simple statement I don't know of a single thing in tbe message that is worth talking about." The views of Mr. Voorhees, of Indiana, were naturally antagonistic to those of the apoatle of Populism. "It is a strong, able document," aaid tbe chairman of the finance committee. "Of course, I have not examined it critically, and cannot speak with any particularity. I believe it will be well reoeived by the country." Mr. Stewart, Republican, Nevada, one of the most ardent free silver men, summarised his opinion in this one sentence : " It ia in favor of the gold standard and bonds, with authority lodged in the President to negotiate with England, and make that system permanent." Mr. McGuire, Democrat, California, one of the leading lights in the House from the Pacifio coast, read the message thoroughly, and, oommenting upon it, said : " I regard it as an unusually good stale paper. The treatment of lhe Chineae question is fully satisfactory. The treatment of the Hawaiian question is not as full as we would like to have it, but the suggestion that there will be a speoial message on that question, with the papers bearing upon it, in a few days, juttifiss its brevity in this message. Ths treatment of the tariff question is full and statesman-like and quite satisfactory to those who believe in the Chicago platform." A Destructive Fire. Rome, N.Y., Deo. 5.���The New JTork Locomotive and Machine Works, of this oity, took fire at 8 o'olock last evening, and most of the buildings were destroyed. A waterworks main burst during the progress of the fire, reducing the pressure from eighty to fifteen pounds, and two ateam tire engines were unable to cope with the flames. The property was valued at {600,000 and was insured for about $300,000. A Championship "Hassle." Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 5.���Evan Lewis, "the strangler," the champion catch-as- oatch-oan wrestler of the world, has accepted the challenge of Charley Whittmore, champion Gneco-Roman wrestler of the world to wrestle for the Cra-co-Roman championship, and fixes February 3rd next as the date of the matoh. Cincinnati will likely be the place of meeting. PROVINCIAL NEWS. Fraser River steamers are unable to reach Chiliiwack on account r>f low water. foe Victoria police are engaged in an active crusade against frequenters of houses of ill-fame. The Vancouver City Council intend to ask the postal antl'urities tot a city delivery, as the city is entitled to it by population. The Victoria Rugby Football Club haa accepted a challenge from a Portland team to play a match in that city under English rules on Christmas day. An attempt at robbery was made on Front street Westminster, Saturday evening, a man endeavoring to snatch a lady's purse. He was afterwards arrested and committed for trial. The aldermen and school trustees for Westminster City were elected by acclamation on Monday. Henry Hoy, James Johnson and Marshall Sinclair were nominated for Mayor. Tracklaying on the Victoria and Sidney railway has now advanced beyond the new trestle between Elk lake and llieRoynlOak. The graders are at present working close to Victoria. It ia said that Lynn, who was with the murdered men Green and Taylor on Savory Island has been seen heading for Nanaimo in a small sloop. Tbe report lacks confirmation. An attempt at burglary was made at the house of Mrs. Suter, Pine street, Westminster on Sunday evening. The thieves were scared off before they could secure anything. The man Jellett alias C. S. Butler, charged with having forged a draft for $5,000 on the Bank of Montreal, was brought up in the Police Court, Westminster on Monday, and pleaded guilty. He was committed for trial. There ia a deadlock in the Vancouver City Counoil over the building of the proposed waterworks reservoir. Some favor day labor, and others want to award the contract to a Westminster firm. One of the best known pioneers in the province, William Clarkson, died at Westminster on Sunday. Mr. Clarkson was a native of Yorkshire, England, and oame to Canada over sixty years ago, settling in British Columbia in 1858. He was 73 years old at the time of his death. The wagon road from Pentioton, B. C. to Grand Prairie, B. C, crosses the international boundary line two or three times between these places. A few days ago, while a consignment of whiskey was being taken from Penticton to Grand Prairie some customs officers seized it at one of the places where the road doubles over the boundary. The owner is in Spokane, looking for legal redress. Among other business transacted at the annual meeting of the British Columbia Institute of Architects, held in Victoria last' Saturday, a resolution was passed in the form of a request to city councils and other bodies entrusted with the manipulation of publio funds that in the proposed erection of public buildings competitive plans should be called for and the assistance of a disinterested expert be procured in the adjudication of the beet design. Copies will be sent to the oity oouncils of Victoria, Vanoouver, Nanaimo and Westminster. The resolution was the result of a biased award proved to have been made by the Victoria School Board in its selection of a design in a late school building competition. Mr. J. J. Honeyman, a leading architect of this city was one of those called upon to form the council during the ensuing year. Mr. R. P. Sharp of New Westminster was eleoted secretary. * Broadmead Beaten. At the Blood Horse Association meeting held at San Francisco on Thursday, November 20th, in the fifth race on the cards, for a pu-ae of $500, distance about, six furlongs, in a field of seven starters, R. P. Rithet's imported horse "Broadmead" finished sixth, not being in it from the start, and was beaten out by over six lengths, in 1:18. Walter Jones & Co. T Wellington, B.C 811-8m Responsibility Disclaimed. New York, Dec. 5.���In an interview Monsignor Farley, vicar-general of the diocese of New York and principal adviser of Archbishop Corrigan replied to the strictures of Bishop Doane on Amerioan schools and denied all responsibility for the Spel- lisbey school bill whioh is to be sent to the legislature in January. This bill will ask the state for money in aid of parochial schools. It originated with the editor of a Catholic paper, who drew it up and presented it to the public for consideration without consulting the bishop and clergy, who alone have jurisdiction in such a matter. "The officials of this diocese," said Monsignor Farley, "have never seen this bill, and have not been asked to sign a petition , in its favor. They deoline any responsiblity for it, sinoe it has been gotten up by irresponsible parties. We have heard that a petition baa been prepared and aent to the nine hundred parishes in this state, to be signed by the priests and people. This is simply irregular, and no notice should be taken of it unless the bishops give their consent." Monsignor Farley scored Bishop Doane for his statement that the Catholic church was on trial in this country, and refused to believe that the publio school system would fall to pieces if state aid were not given to church schools. "Three fourths of the American Catholics were borne on American soil," he said, "and did their shire in the civil war and they denied the bishop or any other power outside the constituted courts any right to try them." To Relieve the Reliance. Valluo, Cal., Deo. 5. ��� The United States steamer Ranger left Mare Island today bound for Corinth to relieve the Alliance.

Niw York, Dec. 5.���A Herald cable from Montevideo says:���It is said in Rio that Mello sailed for Santos with the intention of lending aid to the rebel forces in Rio Grande do Sul. The insurgents left at Rio Bay have fortified Caheas Island with the guns and ammunition whioh they had time to take off tht Javary before the sank. The Hawaiian Polioy Critised. Washington, Dec. 5.���The Senate's brief session of two hours to-day was consumed by a speech from Mr. Dolph, Republican, Oregon, adverse to the administration policy on the subject of the Hawaiian islands. Hhe intimated that the policy was the result of a desire on the part of the present administration to discredit the action and policy of its predecessor, and expressed the desire that Mr. Cleveland had been little more explicit as to how he proposed to undo ' he alleged wromr and to restore the former status. He assumed, however, that something more than moral suasion waB to be used, and he declared that no grealer crime against civilization could be committed than the restoration of a dissipated and corrupt Queen. Even a foreign government would be justified in interfering to preserve the existing government of the islands. He endorsed the declaration of Mr. John A. Casson, made in a newspaper interview, that the force to overthrow the present government of the Islands would be worse than conspiracy, and would resemble asaussina- tion. A resolution calling on the President for oopies of the instructions given to the United States ministers and naval officers on the subject of Hawaii, since 1891 was offered by Mr. Hoar, Republican, Mass., and went over without aotion, Mr. Sherman, Republican, Ohio, suggesting that it should not be acted on in the absence of the chairman ot the committee on foreign relations. It's Very Likely. San Francisco, Deo. 5.���The United States revenue outter Corwin sailed at 2 o'clock this morning. Her destination is not made public, but it is believed that she carries important despatches from Washington to Minister Willis and Admiral Irwin, at Honolulu. The general belief is that the cutter is on her way to the islands, all circumstances pointing to the fact that she was coaled and provisioned for a leng trip. Smuggling operations in the north have become so extensive of late that it is justly possible that the Corwin is going after illegal opium traffickers. From the time it was made knov.u that the Corwin was to leave, a close watch was kept on the vessel to asoertain if any strange persons went on board. None were discovered, and if a secret messenger has been sent he was kept well under cover while the vessel was at the dock. The arrival of the Corwin in Honolulu at a time when the steamers have left there will be beyond doub', and will oause some anxiety until the state of affairs is learned. Although various places were visited along the water front, it was learned that none of the crew of the vessel had been ashore for the last three days. The precautions taken to prevent the men from communicating anything that they might hear on board were complete.

Barlow Brothers' Mammoth Minstrels. Barlow Brothers' Mammoth Minstrels will appear at the Nanaimo Opera House, on Thursday, December 7th. This refined oompany of merry minstrel monarchs needs no introduction to the lovers of refined minstrelsy in this city. Both from the point of view of numerical strength and artistic ability, this is the strongest minstrel company that the patrons of the Nanaimo Opera House have had an opportunity of witnessing. The oompany in its entirety numbers over thirty people. A number of specialists have been engaged in Europe, and are said to present something entirely different from anything ever seen here. Among the principal members may be mentioned Billy Barlow, James Barlow, Howard Powers, "Sco- field," the brothers Kennard, whose sensational acrobatic feats are said to be more than marvellous. Special attention has been paid to the vocal department; this numbers eight carefully selected voices. The sale of seats is now in progress. Seats may be reserved in advance without extra charge at Pimbury k Co's. A Successful Entertainment. A full house greeted Miss Sara Lord Bailey at the Y.M.C.A. rooms last evening. Miss Bailey's selections without exception were good and showed ber to be a finished and clever reciter. " Life for Life," "Prompt Obedience" and "Experience of a Genius" were notably excellent, the last being voted the best of the evening. The vocal solos by Mrs. Jamieson and Mrs. Davidson, "Golden Years" and "Bid Me Discourse," were well appreciated, while the piano solos, "Don Pasquinade" and "Gaiete de Ca-ur," by Miss Watson, were cleverly and tastefully played. ��� Important to Merchants.

Port Townsend, Dec. 5.���American barkentine Kilchikat, ,R. D. Culer, iu the lumber carrying trade with the Sandwich islands arrived from Honolulu last night, bringing the latest advices, having sailed four days after the steamer Almea. Two nights before the Kilokikat sailed, on the 19ih, troops were ordered out under arms on account of the rumors floating about of a possible attempt being made to take the palace. The source of the rumor could not be learned, although the Queen was in the oity and at home in the palaoe at the time. Every possible precaution was taken, such as putting on reserves in order to be ready at instant oall, and suspending all shore liberty to the crews of tne United States steamers Adams and Philadelphia. Nothing, however, had occurred up to sailing date, 18th November. No coneisi expression of opinion was procurable as the people are divided in their views into three partus: Those favoring annexation, others favoring restoration, and the last wanting a United States protectorate with the Queen on the throne. Tha initial policy adopted at the time of the overthrow is being adhered to except by a few who are disgruntled at not receiving offioe under the provisional Government, and have now become fierce Royalists, To give Satolli a Dwelling Place.

DECEMBER 6, 1893. j "1 taw nothing tne matter with him i when we were conversing just now," replied Laura; "he manifested a most kind interest in me." "I trust you did not find him Intrusive. He had good reason for expressing an interest in you." "A special reason t May I know itt" Willmore gazed into the deep blue ���yes raised so ingenuously to his own, and his breath came quickly as he answer* 1 with suppressed emotion : "He is my best friend." Laura Kingdon was no coquette: lhe ���he did not affect to misunderstand him, A wave of colour richer than the sunset swept over her sweet face, like a Madonna's in its modest loveliness, and when it faded there was trouble creasing the smooth brow. Insensible, indeed, must that man have been who did not read in those signs a favourable augury for his dearest hopes. All measures of prudence were discarded. Lord Will- more utterly forgot his father and mother, all consideration of friends and kindred; he waited not for Cecil Chester's report, but flinging to the winds his mentor's recent earnest counsel, poured forth his adoration then and there. He told how her silent sweetness had fascinated him from the first, how ever- present she had been in his thoughts and in his dreams, how far she excelled all the women of this world, how restlessly he always longed for their next meeting, and how the time had come when his happiness demanded that he should see before him a prospect of meeting to part nevermore. In all that he said there was no mention of marriage, no direct proposal that she should be his wife. But Laura Kingdon either did not notice this, or she was supremely indifferent to the omission. She said simply: "You make me very happy, I may tell Muriel, may I not?" Lord Willmore had been quiet prepared to scandalize his family by a mesalliance, but his passion did not blind him to a sense of his social importance, and he certainly had looked for the raising of such obstacles as a girl iu the dependent position of Laura Kingdon might be expected to appreciate as standing between her and marriage with a nobleman; and further, he had anticipated that this virtuous girl (as he fully believed her to be) would at once detect the hollowness of professions of love in which the sacred name of wife was never spoken. But Laura's sentiment was one of such unworldly, simple reciprocation that she did not attempt to trine with love, and insult her lover by the suggestion that sordid and class interests could come between them; nor did she dream that, with a passion so true, to which her soul freely responded, could be joined a reckless selfishness, a brutal design to destroy all that waa worthy of being loved. Perhaps had he met her in her parents' home, instead of in a house that he had entered upon a somewhat equivocal footing, he might have understood her purity of mind. Unhappily, the influence of his associates and the feverish experiences of his youth had led him to distrust all women, aud, where there was any doubt betwixt good and evil, to assume the worst as a safeguard against the terrible danger known aa "being made a fool of." He drew her into the shadow of the atephauotis, and. as he kissed again and again the fair forehead that stooped towards hia breast, he blessed his happy stars that had given him so rich a prize without the exaction of a serious sacrifice. -" CHAPTER IV. love's TALUK. The sun had set, and the gray veil of twilight covered the closing flower- Lord Willmore and Laura Kingdon sat together by the window, engrossed in tbat tender converse which delights in the gloaming, She told him all of herself that she had to tell: of her parents' early death, and the necessity which had prompted her to accept the position of companion; of her several experiences in that capacity, and the accident which had made her t'.te bosom friend of Muriel O'Connor. She told him of hor one relation, a younger sister, dear to her as flesh and blood could be, who was married to a sea-captain, now expected home from a long voyage. To that sister she was going on the morrow, to help her prepare for the reception of her husband, and to welcome him home. She described a humble little cottage in the unfashionable locality of Wapping, where Dorothy Dundas awaited the return of her errant spouse. "Wappiug does uot sound nice," said Laura Uepreoatingly; "but the house is really pretty and snug, and so nicely situated ou the bank of the river. It is most interesting to watch the craft passing up and down, and we don't notice the mud when the tide is in. If you would care to come to such an out-of-the- way place, I should be so very glad to introduce you to my sister and her good husband. He is a rough sailor, butOI so good and true-hearted, and he loves Dorothy very fondly." She gave Willmore the address, aod told him how he could reach the place; and as she was to remain at/ Wapping for a few days, he readily agreed to visit her there, for at the flood of his passion a day's absence seemed unendurable. They had scarcely observed how dark the room had grown, when the door opened to admit a stream of light from the hall, and another visitor. Laura and Willmore, enveloped In shadow, were not noticed by the newcomer, who, standing in the radiance of the hall-lamp, couldhiniuolf be very distinctly seen by them. He was a gracefully built young man of middle height, clad in evening dress, with a cape-coat flung* carelessly' across his shoulders. Hi.- face was partially concealed by the shadow of his opera-hat, which he had not removed. That Laura should hastily wil.idraw her hand from Lord Willmore's caress was not unnatural, but the lover subsequently asked himself Whether the action wan not rather due to recognition of tin* visitor than to the mere intrusion upon their conference, The young man, evidently supposing the room to be unoccupied, began to rate the servant souiio'lv: "What's this V" No ikrhtsT All gone to bed? Or not up yet? Come, light up, light up, you lazy baggagel Is this a room to show me into? Where's your mistress? Don't know? Why the devil don't you know? Light the gas, idiot, and don't talk to me in the dark I Saucy bundles of rubbish you servants arel Don't have so much to say I" The gas was lighted, nnd the servant withdrew. The new comer found himself face to face with Laura Kingdon and Lord Willmore. "Hallo!" lie said, nodding to the lady with insolent familiarity, 'Tiallo!" "Good-evening, Mr. Kestrel; have you called to see Miss O'Connor?" "Called to see you, my dear; want word with you par-ticuler-lar-lully. Who's your friend? 'Duce me." Mr. Kestrel had evidently dined. Lord Willmore surveyed him witti disgust, and frowned heavily as he noted that Laura was trembling and appeared to be strangely embarrassed, "Who is this inanV" lie asked. Without waiting Cor Laura's introduction, the other replied with emphasis: "Tliis geu'leman is RiilrJli Kestrel���the Ralph Kestrel���Sir! Who are you?" "This is Lord Willmore," said Laura, "a friend of Miss O'Connor's." "What, another of em! A lord, eh? My Lord Tomnoddy, glad to make your acquaintance." There was romething ineffably offensive to Lord Willmore in the intrusive and drunken familiarity of thia numskull, and the Sneering suggestivoiiess of the reference to Muriel O'Counor was not lost uporj him. 'lhe thought flashed through his mind that Chester must be right, that his own first impressions were correct, and this dainty little home was the web of a human spidi r. And if that were the case, what of Laura Kingdon, the intimate of an adventuress? How could it be possible that she should touch pitch and not be defiled? She trembled in the presence of this intoxicated blackguard; she was palpably ill at ease; there was most clearly an understanding between them, and he did not hesitate to class it as blameworthy. But if Laura Kingdon had so far lost his good opinion, how much more was he confirmed iu his evil surmises when, having treated Mr. Kestrel to the haughtiest of snubs, he (Willmore) invited her to withdraw with him, and Was met with a request, conveyed in agitated accents, that he himself would withdraw, and leave her in privacy '"nth this swaggering debauchee! He was too much shocked and amazed to offer the least opposition. With a cold bow, the significance of which was lost unon Laura Kinsrdon, he passed out into the garden in silence. But, once shrouded by the friendly gloom of the bushes, he paced along furiously, muttering between his teeth, and frequently exclaiming aloud in passionate resentment. Eage grew upon him as he revolved the matter: rage at his own folly in loving such a creature; rage against her for her saintlike face, her innocent voice and manner, for the presumed corruption of her life, and, above all, tor the affront she had put upon him in preferring the society of such a disgusting cad as this Ralph" Kestrel. His first impulse waa to quit the house at once, and follow out his friend's advice to the letter. Their hostess had deserted them immediately after dinner without explanation, and making but the lightest of apologies, Muriel's conduct was equally unaccountable. Had sh6considerately intended to leave him to asoliiu iu a deux, win had sho not taken charge of (.Veil dies ter, who would have been very much il the way had he not taken hfmaelf ofi Where, by the bye, was Chester*; ji< had disappeared into the shrubbery. Willmore groped his way thither, aii called quietly for his friend. In th' Utter stillness of the fallen night hi voioe must have been heard all owi the garden, but no reply came and Wilimore concluded that Oheste had left the house. 1-Vrhaps th. best course would be to follow him He sought the door with that in tention, but on reflection there wai something not only gauche but ridicu loun in this running away, withou' leave taking, of two guests wuo had eat.-. a nearly dinner, ju.u because thehoste:* was detained from them by some pro bably unavoidable circumstance. Wl_ more could not run the risk of loolriiu ill-mannered ami ibsr.rd. If Chester hat gone, so much nie :,;'*re reason that In should remain to carry out the formui ' ities of good Weeding. This, he told ill ..self, held him back from rushing from the place; but h< was not quite candid with himself in the matter. Love held him then- by:strong er chains than etiquette. His feeling to wards Laura flew to all points, like r, weather-vane iu a veering wind. Now he n.iled her for her frailty, now he pitied her helplessness; now lie loatiieo her for that he dared not formulate, yet loved her throughout: it was inevitable.

A generation ago there waa hardly a mill of any kind that wag not troubled with a heap of rubbish or waste material that it did not know what to do with. Silk manufacturers saw the rise of this heap with annoyance, and they took it as A favor if any one would cart it away and use it as a fertilizer. An Enyliflll inventor guessed at the possibilities in this pile of refuse and set ubnut inventing machinery to utilize it. Today, as a result of his foresight and gt uius. 5,00 I persons are employed in making the finest silk plushes, ribbons arid velvets from the refuse piles of silk mills, and the inventor has grown rich. The cottonseed oil industry Is a better known illustration of economizing waste, but the dimensions to whioh the industry has grown are uot so generally known. The annual product in oil, cake, lint and hulls from cotton seed, which a generation ago was allowed to rot, is $27,000,000, and it could be made greater if there was a market for the protjuct.��� Philadelphia Press, A Vewy Walatfal Girl. --MM Husband���These biscuits are somewhat heavy, my dear.

Amongst some of the selections heard from the wide mouth of the instrument were a song by Mme Patti, a cornet solo and a oomio song, all of whioh, though probably months old sounded quite distinct and realistic. A few discordant Bounds usually prefaced every piece but the words of the songs were easily heard. * Football Gossip. No date haa been fixed for the Victoria- Wellington match. An Association game will be played by the Ranger and Rivers teams on Christmas Day. Ths Rugby match between the Hornets ana the Victorias will be played on the swamp next Saturday. It is remarked by many that the football ground at the swamp is little better than a mudhole, and some endeavor should be made to give the football teams a decent ground to play on. -* Wanted.���Bald headed men at the Pioneer Barber Shop. 1-12 tf ROBERT DUNSMUIR AND SONS, IN PORT.

In about one minute she will go up the back stairs to the second floor, come down the front stairs and enter the front door of the dioing room, usually left open. All that has ever been written from the beginning of the world to this day to show that animals are governed by instinct and not by reason is upset by this intelligent action of our family cat.
