Fashion demands that when young people marry they shall go away on a wedding trip, which means no small outlay of cash. A couple recently married felt this pressure, but conceived a scheme by which to thwart the process of custom and save the item of expense. They went to the station, accompanied by a party of friends, and boarded a train,' with good-byes said all around, the friends, extending the regulation' Wishes for a safe and happy tour. But the couple didn't remain on the 'mfc.. Oh, nol. They walked through ..the car ahd but at tho end. opposite that at which they entered, and, getting olf on the opposite side, quickly skipped around' to their home, where they, remained in seclusion for a week, while friends thought them away enjoying the honeymoon.—Hx. 0. P. B. Tea Trade. C.P.B.Tea ! Mr. Everett Eraser, head of tho I " great New York tea Arm of Fraser & Co., was interviewed by the Vancouver News the other day. He said that for tea carrying purposes the Canadian Pacific was superior to the other transcontinental lines; it wiis 200 miles shorter to the east than'! the Northern Paoific. Be- j tween London and Quebec there are over a dozen Canadian ports which tare" in direct connection with any part of the United States und the Dominion. This mado the distribution I of the' cargoes -a Very easy matter, the freight rates to all these points' being the same. Although i considerable portion' of the teas ire shipped to the States, the Oana- linii consignments are dropped at ;lioir destinations all along the route, jhus saving extra handling with its Consequent expenses. The route I'rom the Orienl via the Suez Canal 0 England and thence to New York ■mailed extra handling and re-insurance, making the freight rate auoh higher thau it was via tho Janadian route. Two more tea essols only will go to Portland, Oro- oii, thence to bo shipped over the ). R. & N. and Northern Pacific ompanies' lines to the east. Thero re three bars on the Oolumbia Uver, which make tho voyage very lsky and the cost of towing the hips into Portland is fully ¥1,000 noro than would be charged, for owage into Burrard Inlet . The ailure of tho Carrier Dove to ar- ive in:. port before the Flint, al- ! hough she sailed ahead of the latter essel, coupled with the fact that lie barrier Dove grounded on the liar and had to have sufficient cargo jiken out of her hold by lighters to aisc her two feet, had completely poiled Portland's chances of secor- ng any. more of the trade. After he- arrival of the two ships now on heir way, the J trade with Portland vould cease entirely and all the fu- uro business would be done via Vancouver and the Canadinn Paoific Railway. In reply to a question, Jr. Fraser said he had travelled ■ver the Union and Oentnil Pacific tail oads, but nothing he had ever <bserved could surpass the superb cenery along the line of the Oana- .ian Pacific. The road was solidly onstructed; the rails woll laid and i he train wonderfully steady. The 'romptness in connection and pupc- uality in time were remarkable, the rain coming, not only on time, but • minute or two before. The views long Lake Superior, whore there tore cliffs from 150 to 200 foet in eight, and from Calgary to the ust were indescribably grand. rothing could surpass thom. With rforehco to the proposed subsidized :ne>of steamers' between Vancouver id Hong Kong, Mr. Fraser was rry enthusiastic; He said that if rich a line of steamers were estab- ilied, and conducted on the right inoiplesj it would be immensely rpulor. It would draw a large '.ssongor traffic and compete sue- wafully With the route via the Red -a and Suez Canal, whioh has rious drawbacks—the heat being' r intense that the complaints from issengers wore numerous. England ould make a special effort to open ui the Oriental[traffio and induce i ivellors to. visit Groat Britain via ui'ada. Making Vancouver the irting point af these steamers '■ ould draw a largo business to the iniiual city. 'J*ho steamors carry- g the mails would leave at a oer- in hour on a certain day, whether ore were few or many passengers 1 > board, and such an arrungament mid tehd to make Vancouver a { ted resort for travellers ond largely jrcase the earnings of the Cana- ! in Paoifio.

Mr. JcJin Sprott, who has been for some time superintendent of road work in this district, informs lis that it has been decided to do no road work this year except such as is absolutely necessary. Tho appropriations made for road work will be'carried over until next year, and work will be begun as early in the season as the weather will permit. ,. This is a very sensible arrangement, and ought to meet with the approval of evory tax payer in the country. Wo liavo many times pointed out the folly of undertaking the construction or repair of roads just before the fall rains set in, and the waste of money wliich that practice entails. We havo suggested that the 'fiscal year be so changed as to enable appropriations to become available earlier in the season, or to have preliminary arrangements so far advanced as to make it possible to have work begun as early as the first of July at least. But hitherto iwne of tliese things have been done, and it wos feared that this year we would witness a repetition- of the blunder in an aggravated form. Wo aro glad to find that! ..this': is not. to be the case. It will be a disappointment to a great many Of the settlers to: learn that scarcely any road work will be dono this season, but it is better a great deal that it should be so than that the money should be wasted. The year's appropriations, if judiciously expended next spring, will prdduco a much .more lusting benefit than if they hod been spent this fall to satisfy the expectations of the farmers; In view pf the circumstances we have great satisfaction in congratulating tlie government on the wisdom .of jts cjotewinatioii.. The c. l*. K. Extension. By reference to an extract from the Vancouver News, published in another *j©lumn, it will be seen that the extension of the C. P. Ii from Port Moody to Vancouver by way of tife*;iiilet 1ms beenabandouecHor the-preVent. It seems to have been the opinion of the syndicate that it had authority under its original charter, to construct extensions or branches almost anywhere, and it has been a matter of surprise to the people of this country tliat a work of such great importance should have been undertaken before the breadth' of the charter had been accurately measured. The change of front now announced will delay but not defeat the syndicate's plans. It .will cause inconvenience to the company und disappointment to those who have made bona fide investments in Vancouver under the impression that railway facilities would bo extended to that city immediately. It will probably postpone a considerable amount of investment and improvement which otherwise would immediately be un- dertiffiSn thoro. . But tliere is no reasonable doubt of the ultimate extension of the road, either by way of Burrard., Inlet or through this city. Until that has been done the syitrKcate.will'not cure to enter upon imjr~ very-' large scheme of trade expansion and there will be a corresponding-loss to the province. The wharf accommodation, as well as all other kinds of - accommodation at Port Moody; Jartr.aitogethor unequal to. the handling of a large trade. Two'ships lying at the wharf occupy nejj-ly/jhe^ iff hole qf it;'and tliere is neither storage room nor engine room, nor even a turn-table. It is not probable that the company will erect any of these things at Port Moody. It will erect nothing tliere that can lie in any way avoided. In the moan timo we suppose trafflo will continue to ran in tho channels in which it now runs. The transfer of the local business will, of course, be made at this city instead of Port Hammond, and the other business will probably go, as at ;present, to Port Moody. It'is possiblo tho syndicate may so arrange matters as to make this city tho cliief business plnoe until the extension has been completed, but of this there is now no, certainty. . The people of New Westminster would not object if this city is made the sole terminus in the interim, but that need not be expected. If the syndicate faithfully fulfils its promise to treat Ne# Westainster, Vancouver, and Viotoria with disinterested impar- tiality we shall be content, and shall have no fears for the future. Mr. John Magwootl, Victoria Road, writes: ''Northrop & Lvman's Vegetable DiscOFfciy snd Dyspeptic Care is a Bplen- did modienpej. • My oustomors say they never use' anything so effectual. Good results immediately follow its use. I know Its .value from personal experience, having' been trouhldo for 0 or 10 yearB with Dyspepsia, and since using it digestion goes on without the depressing feeling so well known to dyspeptics.

Abandoned for the Present.—- Mr, Henry Abbott, general superintendent of tho Pacific division of tlie Canadian Pacific Railway, in an interview with a News representative on Thursday night, said that his company had how given up all idoa of completing tlio road from Port Moody to tho terminus until they could secure legislation for. tho purpose. It was not yet decided whothor they would apply to tho provincial or the Dominion parliament for the necessary powers, but the Dominion house woultl most probably bo asked to grant tho charter. Mr. Abbott said that his company had done all in their power to get the lino through to Vancouver, but the prop-, erty owners are alono responsible for the delay and entirely to blame for the non-completion of the road. Every effort had been mado to settle with them, but they made suoh impracticable stipulations (although thoy would not name any actual figures for tlieir lots) that it was impossible to come to any arrangement. Double the amount of the valuation mado by tlio provincial land surveyor, who was a man of great experience and mado the regular sworn valuntion required by law, had boon offered hy tho company.to be deposited iu a bank, but tho proposal had been refused. In answer to a question, Mr. Abbott said if the property owners oven at this lato hour came to au arrangement, 2,000 men could be put on tlio road and it could/ be finished in a month or five weeks. The company would proceed with tlieir improvements during tho winter; work of all kinds would go on and large sums of money spent which would greatly benefit tho town.--Vancouver News, Is Persona!.

Each and every one of them should be able to read and understand it for themselves. The city solicitor is also solicitor for the railway company, which makes it rather awkward aU round. I don't mean to say that the city solictor is not a strictly honest man; but under the peculiar circumstances it Is in thc interests of the tax-payers that tlie city fathers should know what is right and whnt is wrong, and a strict compliance with t]ie railway act would have saved a great (leal of unnecessary trouble and expense. From what has already transpired between the company and the municipal lathers and the property owners it is quite evident that the tax-payers will have to pay a great deal more for tho railway connection than they should. The truth is that the company is no doubt very shrewd, the property ownors aro very Bhrewd, but, alas! the city fathers as a whole are not very shrewd, and hence the present muddle.

Editor Columbian :—Can you tell me the price of a liquor license? Can any of your readers tell tho price of one liquor license? Let me tell you a true story, theu if you or anyone reading these lines can tell what such a license costs, let him do so. Bofore I came to this province I lived in an eastern city. One evening about half-past 9, a policeman walking his beat iu the suburbs of this city found the body of a young girl lying on the sidewalk, with her skull crushed hi, apparently, with a heavy blow from a club. She could only have. Iain there a few moments, for she had not' perceptibly grown cold when he found her. But she was dead. Her young life had been given in part payment of a liquor license. Can you tell what that one life was worth? Can you tell the value of tho hopes and love that were all blasted by the cruel blow of a liquor-crazed man? Yes, it was the work of the vile stuff to sell which these men want you to graut them leave for a few paltry dollars ! I don't care if we received thousands for each license, it is atill too paltry. If it was yonr young daughter that had heen foully murdered; or, more dreadful still, your son that had struck tho blow; yon would begin to realize thc price of a liquor license, But only beyin, for it is not possible for one heart to realize all the griet and horror of suoh crimen. This hapless girl was engaged to bo married to a young mnn that had left home antl friends and crossed the sea to make a fortune, as many young men here have done. Bo you think that young man could tell In dollars and cents the prico of a liquor license. I think ho would have told yott that every dollar received for liquor licenso was tho heart's blood of some innocent child. The now country grew hateful to this young man after months of vain efforts to find the cruel murderer, and so he went back to his old home, aad and disappointed. His old mother nud loving sisters tried to cheer and comfort hiin; his fathor and brother to rouse him to au interest in home life and pleasure once moro. Time is a good physician, and he had begun to recover some of his former cheerfulness, and though he could never forget for long his murdered love, lifo was growing more bearable, One evening thoro was a knock at the door, and presently two men entered the room, and, quickly stepping fo hia aide, claimed liim as their {irisonor. Ami hefore he realized what hey meant he was manacled. Of what wns he guilty T The detectives had never ceased to search for tho murderers of that poor innocent girl. Thoy had found enough circumstantial evidence to warrant them in taking out extradition papers aud to travel over sea aud lund to bring him back to be tried for the murder of his betrothed wife 1 Uo you think he could tell you tlio price of a liquor license uow ?' His old father is - almost bereft of sense and reason; his white- haired mother lies in a dead faint; while hia sisters and brothers—hut how can I portray tho grief and agony of that sceno ! And as he was borne from their sight, .bound with irons, could his father, mother, brother or. Bisters tell the prico of a liquor license ?' And In that long voyage, loaded with irons, guarded day and night, would not he hnve cried, it ia blood ! blood I He was carried to Hns* ton, and for six months was confined iu a murderer's cell; and then a poor wretch that had, while crazed with drink, committed another murder, for which he was to bo hanged, confessed i'ust the day beforo Ids execution that he ;illed this girl too. He snid ho had been drinking that evening, and after ho got homo he sat down nnd read a while, when ho was seized with an uncontrollable desire to kill somebody. He went out and armed himsolf with a club' from his father's shed, and tins poor girl was his victim. Ho bad quietly done all ho could to throw suspicion on her lover, and had managed ; auch a chain of evidence tbat the ollicera felt justified in taking the young man from hh home and friends and country to answer the fearful charge of murder. I Now, readers, can you estimate the cost of a liquor license ? Fathers, this is nut a fancy sketch, neither i.i it the only one of its kind, though one such terrible i result of any traffic ought to doom it to I annihilation, Aud when theae men want I your vote in favor of giving them a license, remember that if you di> not pay | for it In blood someone else must, for i there never was a liquor license without ita victim. May tlio love of God and compassion for yonr fellow crcaturoB constrain you to register &. vote which shall not be the means to cause your heart or the heart of your brother to Meed with unavailing sorrow—a vote that slinll never lay the price of a liquor license on your heart as you look upon its destroy* iug influence on '! mother's hoy."

Ifc haa been found to be ao woll adapted for-eta- tuary and monuments, that companies liavo been for some timo established at Bridgeport, Conn., Detroit, Mich., Des Moines, Iowa, and St. Thomas, Canada, who are making monuments of all kinds and styles. From experiments mado by theso companies, it has beeu found that the material will stand exposure for un indefinite period—it is practically iudc* structihlo. Wliite Bronze being non- corrosive and unchangeable, it is stated i to bo equal to gold, silver or platinum, and superior to copper or antique bronze, j which throws oil'a verdigris. The moiiu- ments arc cast from refined zinc, and are I given their sparkling appearance hy the j sand blast, sand being blown against tho work under a high pressure of steam, I which cuts the surface, but does not ad- - here to it.

The Roumanians* What* is now known as Roumania was within thc limits of ancient Dacm, whose inhabitants wero allied in origin to tho Tlmicians. Thc Romans conquered tho country in 105, A.D., held it till 275, A.D., and colonized it, and thou gave way to the Goths. For several centuries this country wns the scene of tho struggles between the Gothic, Hiumic, Bulgarian and Slavic races—who alternately ruled or wore expelled from tho country. These people all left more or less truce of their clmvnctcristics among tliu Romanized Diiciims, und thus helped to form that composite peoplo, tho Wulluchs, who later controlled the entire country. Two provinces were now formed of this country—Moldavia and Wallu- ohia. In the eleventh century the Wallaehs wore converted to Christianity. During tho two following centuries their country wns overrun by the Turks, the Mongols, and tho Tartars, who loft it so utterly devastated that no trace of tho native population existed anywhere savo in thc mountains and forests. During tho fourteenth century, howevor, the Wallaehs again secured possession of tho two provinces, and established independent government. In the sixteenth century both of theso placed themselves under the protection of the Porte, reserving the right to choose their own rulers. Tliis, however, they lost some time later, and the Turks governed them by rulers selected from tlie Greek princes of Constantinople, who had no interest in the countries beyond enriching themselves by farming their revenues. In 1802 tho Russians wrested from Turkey tho right of surveilarice over the principalities, but they could not Bccuro the independence they desired without first successfully overthrowing the claim upon their sovereignty made by tho Greeks. In 1858 tho two principalities wore united under one rulor, j under the name of Roitnmnia. The people of these provinces, though known to fill Western Europe ns Wallaehs, called themselves Romani* in consideration of their claim to a mixture of Roman blood in their ancestry. A number of Roumanians are also found in tho other Damibian provinces. Roumania has had a constitutional government since 18110. Its-entire inde- ponce was recognized by Turkey in 1878. The language used by this peoplo is composite, because of thoir mixed origin. About three-fourths of their words aro of Latin origin; tho rest aro derived from the Greek, Gothic, Shine, and Turkish dialects.—Gkieayo Inter- (Mean. Propagating Weeds. One of the nuisances encountered "on tlio farm is tho growth of weeds. They aro a crop that never fails, wet or dry, hot or cold. His a constant warfare to keop them down. The soil is full of seeds. Thoy aro allowed to perfect thejr seeds from year to year, and theso uro scattered broadcast. Some grow and some remain in tho soil for yoars, if wo can believe the scientists, ready to sprout np at tho first favorable condition. Seeds deeply buriod by plowing are tho ones that do not sprout. So we havu an everlasting accumulation. In addition to this, nearly ovory crop that is harvested; and more especially tho hay crop, is full of matured woods, Theso weeds shell out their seeds in the barn yard, in the stall nnd wherever fed, aud they aro mixed with the barnyard manure. This manure, in the spring, is usually drawn out and scattered over Borne field. In modern times the stable manure is often carted out and scattered over the field as fast as made. Here goes out an .additional accumulation of weeds to fructify and overrun every uncultivated spot, and aome Bpots that arc cultivated. For even in the caso of hoed crops, us corn nnd potatoes, tho weeda have an abundant opportunity to grow and mature their seeds after the lust hoeing or cultivating. Who that has had a chance for observation has not seen the gi und in a potato or corn patch literally covered with weeds ? The question ia how to prevent this growth uf weeds and the annual sowing of their seeds. We know of no botter way than to prevent the ripening of their seeds by early and frequent cutting, whon possible, through cultivation, and the better rotting of manure, so as to kill the vitality of the soods bofore applying it to the soil. It is somo work to properly rot manure, but wo doubt if it ts more than to fight thu barnyard weeds. Besides, thu rotting puts tho mauuro in better condition to afford food for crops,—National Live Stock Journal. POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.

A Georgia rattlesnake got into n pantry the other day and found somo eggs which it swallowed. Then it crawled partly through tho handld of a jug, and, lidding some moro eggs, swallowod them.
