John Robson brought down a return of the orders-in-council, reports and other documents relative to the cancellation of teachers' certificates in 1871). Tbo private bills committoe reported that the standing orders had been complied with in tbo bill for the Crow's Nest and Kootenay Railway. Mr. Ladner introduced a bill to amend the gamo protection act, und it was read the first time. The hill to amend the bush fires act (Croft) passed its first reading. Messrs. Cunningham and Ladnor moved that a telegram be forwarded to tho Dominion Government at Ottawa regarding tho unsatisfactory condition of the buoys at tlto entrance of tho Fraser river. It said that tho buoys hud beon displaced by tbe recent storms, one having entirely disappeared, and praying thut immediate instructions should be telegraphed to have this important matter attended to without delay. In introducing the resolution Mr. Cunningham took occasion to address the House at considerable length on the neglect of the Eraser river by the Dominion authorities. The motion was passed unopposed. Mr. Duck and Mr. Anderson moved for a return of tlie number of voters on the respective voters' lists of each electoral district throughout the province up to latest date. The resolution was endorsed by tbe Premier and Mr. Ladner aud passed. Mr. Orr asked tbe Premier: "Is it tbo intention of the government to include the polling division of Burrard Inlet in tbe jmlling division of Vancouver City when such city is declared a pulling division?" Mr. Robson replied that he was uot yet in a position to give tbe information asked. On motion of Colonel Baker and Mr. Semlin, the name of Mr. Duck was substituted for that of Colonel Baker ou the private bills committee nud that of Mr. Ladner for Mr. Semlin on tlie railway committee, The committee appointed to investigate tho causes of tlio failure of the North Arm bridges was on application "of the chitrrman; "Mr. Cunningham,- authorized to visit the spot to prosecute the investigation. * Mr. Beavon called the attention of the speakor to what he alleged was an irregularity in tbo production of tho License Amendment Bill. It was a measure relating to trade und commerce and should, he urged, have originated in a committoe of tlie House. Ho clai mod that tho bill would require to be re-in- tro'''iced. X'.o speaker reserved his decision on the point until Monday. Mr. Boaven claimed irregularities iu tho introduction of a govornment men- sure relating lo railways. Tliis measure, he contended, should have beou read a second timo to the Houso before passing to any committeo. Tho speaker did not allow the point taken. The bill to amend tho Municipalities Act pussed its lirst reading and the second reading was fixed for Wednesday. Soveral umetidmeuts wero made on tho consideration of the report to tho Legal Professions Bill, the majority simply clerical, and tho principal ono by Mr. Cunningham, as follows: To amend section 35 by striking out the words iu lino 14 and IT), "the benchers, or some person or persons to be appointed by thorn,'* and insert in lieu thereof, "one or more judges of the Supreme Court."

Washinoton, Feb. 8.—The passage by ono branch of the North Dakota Legislature of a bill chartering nud legislating lottery in that state has attracted attention in Washington official circles, in view of advices that this action is in behalf of a branch of the Louisiana lottery, against which the postoffiee department and the department of justice have boen waging war for yoars atthe White House. It is intimated that reports have reached the president that persons wbo had beon appointed to office, or wore candidates for appointment, were promoting this legislation, aud it was added that should this prove to ho truo it would likely be fatal to their official prospects. A. further remark was that it was not believed to lw possible that the new state would adopt a measure that would put so indelible a stain on its reputation. A 6 rent Storm.

Paterson, N.J., Fob. 8.—Washington Hall, which occupied a square of ground on Broadway, was burned to tlie ground about 2 o'clock this morning. Tho loss will not fall much under $311,000. A hall was in progress at tho time tho lire was discovered, but all the guests got out in safoty, some, howover, loaving wraps behind them. Tho (Ire originated in the basement of tho building, and it was only whon tho dense smoko mado its way into tlio bull room that tho guosts woro mnde aware of tho great danger. On the top floor of tho building wore the sleeping apartments of tho janitor, Wm. Smith nud his wife, both of whom had a narrow escape from sufibctition, the latter being carried out unconscious. The firo is now said to huvo been caused by an explosion in the soda water factory of Moses Swiuley, in tho roar end of the building, About 2:40 a.m., when the flames woro at their highest, a rapid fire of ninsketrv look plnee, frightetiingovery one from the building. This was caused by the ignition of 10,0(11) rounds of cartridges in the armory on the first flat. The fusllado was kept up somo time, ndmg bullets in all directions, but no ono was hurt, Tiie flames spread to a largo three-story building adjoining, Inch was entirely destroyed, entailing inch loss toa number of families who lived there. Inthe Hull building woro tbo board of trade rooms, which, wltl) tho library and documents, woro completely destroyed.

In all tlie buildings from Morrison to C street, the first floors were covered with mud, of au average thickness of balf an inch. Hundreds of men and boys have been busily engaged swooping and scrubbing and Hcraping iu ordor to get the sTores mid offices in shape for the transaction af business. The sidewalks, croHSways and wagon ways leading to the docks and wharves aro torn up in many piuces and washed away. From Morrison to Stuilt street ull the tirst floors are bare, hut from Stark streot to Oak and Pine tbey are still inundated. Below tbey are dry again, but tho streets aro not visible at all. The bridges aro safe, although tbe Morrison street structure has not^teijt-' led vehicles owing to tbo fact thnt souie boards were torn up by the driftwood. Tho foot passenger way on the south sido is damaged on the west sido central pier, but for that matter every pier is all right. Tho iron bridgo is in about as good condition as it was before the Hood. The docks nro all solid as far ns the foundations are concerned, though some of tho su-ierstructure is damaged. None of the steamboats woro injured, and as far us known only tho ship Patterdtdo lias suffered. The loss of business and the lubor of raising and removing the stock, of course, will figure among tho losses. Not oue of the Front street bouses aro able this morning to state what they will be out by the flood, but doubtless tho sum will average not over $100 to each firm. All day long drays and express wagons havo been hauling stoek from tlm warehouses back to the stores from which it was taken during the rise. In mnny places onFrontstreetthepave- ment has lost its foundations, aim consequently numerous depressions aro found. Stanley Interviewed. New York, Feb. 7.—In an interview with Stanley, the explorer pays a high tribute to Emin Pasha's character, but explained what ho called bis "peculiar deficiencies,'' He said Emin was a great linguist and remarkably scientific, but utterly unable to cope with tlie treachery nnd gnile of the natives. Stanley's description of his own method of maintaining discipline has the elements in it of true tragedy. "Among Einin's Egyptian ofneors," said Stanley, "Jepson pointed out to mo several who were plotting against us in our own camp. I at once had the ring leader put under arrest. Iu his possession we found incriminating correspondence, proving conclusively that ho was iu the Mahdist .plot to capture usall. At this time I was about reduced to a skeleton by my second attack of gastritis, but I ordered a court martial to try him. He was found guilty on every count. I waB in iny tent on tbe flat of iny bnck, so weak and so emaciated I couldn't sit up. I made them prop me up in a chair outside, however, and I swallowed a bracing tonic to ssrongthen mc to the task of pronouncing the sentence on this villain. I determined te. make such an example of him that there would bo no further conspiracy in our camp ut uny rnte. They brought him before me. The people stood round in silence. I looked at liim, nnd mustered what little strength I bnd to address him: 'We came through a thousand difficulties and have risked our lives a hundred times to save and succor you, and now iu roturn for alt wo havo pnssed through for your sake, what do you do? You conspire in your own camp to have us taken as slaves to Khartoum, A court- martial of white men and your comrades has given you a •fair' trial, and you liavo been found'guilty on every count. Depart to God.' "The people wore so wrought up by theso words and by the whole scene,' snid Mr. Stanley, "that they rushed at him like one man and soized hint, i; 'Whtttflhull wo do with him?' they shouted. 'What shall wo do with him?' 'To Qod with liim I Take him to God!" and 1 pointed to a limb of a treo. Tho next moment a ropo was round his neck, and a hundred willing bands were hauling him up, tugging away at tho rope. "Now, you see, said Stanley, addressing the rest of the Egyptians, "you are not in Wadelai. There will be no coaxing, uo patting on tho back with mo. I'll hang overy traitor among you I can lay hands on. "Huvo yon seen as much evidonco of slave bunting on this expedition as on your others, Mr. Stanloy, and do you think there is ns much of it going on ns ovor?" "Yes, just ns much. Thoro isnodim- inulion. Oh, yes, blockading the const is u vory good thing so far ns ltgoos, but it there wasn't a buyer for a single slavo . outside of Africa it would make little difference. It is tbo nature of Africaus. "The first ambition of a slavo is to own slaves himsolf..

The news tbat tho dockers in London, England, aro again about to go ou strike ojieiw up afresh tbo possibility of a dispute which everybody hoped had boen settled, at least for somo time to como. In a thickly populated country liko England, and moro especially in congested emit res of commercial life snch as London, labor disputes of some kind arc almost incessant, but it is seldom that thoy assume the magnitude which tho late dockers' strike reached. It may safely bo taken for granted that the evident sympathies of tlie public, both in England and abroad, wero strongly, and rightly, in favor of tlio strikors at that timo, and should it be that the dock owners are endeavoring to go bock on the settlement elTected in the fall of last year, thanks to tbo mediation of public- spirited men like Manning, Licit back, and the ex-Lord Mayor, thoro is vory little doubt but that tho men wilt havo again extended to them the moral and material support which so largely helped them to como off victorious in 1881). At the same time, it must not be forgotten tbat a very serious responsibility rests with the strikers in coining out a second time, and that any ill-advised or hasty action upon their part will call down from the civilized world a sharp note of disapprobation. Ttie magnitude of the business dono at the docks of London can he grasped from the fact that In 1888, 70,000 vessels entered and cleared from that port, being no fewer than 210 for every day in tho year. Thus it ii easily disceruibly that to, by any moans, harrass the working of tlie shipping trade of London, means a responsibility too serious to be estimated; for not only is such a disturbance felt in the metropolis itself, but in every town and household iu the country, more or less, not to mention the tremendous loss entailed by foreign nnd colonial ports and centres of trade. The sanguine anticipation of tho liritish Chancellor of the Exchequer that ho will have to announce a surplus whon explaining the budget to tho House of Commons, is n very suro sign that trade has revived and tbat the end of a long period of depression has at last " beou reached. From time to time Tiik Columbian hnsnoted this upward tendency iu tho trade of the mother country. Anything calculated to iu auy way kill tbls revival, in its very infancy, will earn tbe rebuke of all right minded men, and unless there is really justifiable cause, such as flagrant injustice on the part of the employers, tho mon must Iw prepared to boar a great deal of odium for endangering tbo prosperity of the country. At the presont timo wages are advancing, and in tlio skilled labor market the demand for workpeople is good. Summing up tho commercial condition of England at tho end of tlie yoar 1880, a writer of great authority said "the atate of trade is excellent and tlio prospect of still groater improvement is decidedly good." Whilst every indication goes to show tho soundness of this view, there comes tbo very oinnious intelligence that anothor great striko is impending. We hopo that the news iB exaggerated, but if true, and no way can he found to bring labor and capital to amicable relations, then it may safely be said that the British people will very quickly discern tho rights nnd wrongs of the quarrel, aud make warm weather for whichever sido is endeavouring to stifle rising prosperity at tlio expense of the public. THEORETICAL POLITICS. The newly appointed professor of philosophy at Toronto University ' when delivering his inaugural lecture took bb hie subject "Philosophy iu rela- "tion to Lifo and Education," and an eastern exchange discourses as follows on the professor's address, bringing out a number of ideas that are worth pondering by our local politicians: The professor mado out a very good cose for his own Bpeclal branch of study, showing that philosophy was really the convergence of all tho deepest lines of thought In every depart .ment of life. One cannot wonder, howovor, whether amongst our politicians any oue will tako seriously to heart his remarks about the relation of philosophy to politics. "The economist and tho legislator," he said, "must understand "human motives if they would construct "a policy or frame a statute opportunely. "The only capable student of political "and general history, and the only safe "guardian of the franchise, is the man "who knows something of tho historic "development of the human mind as seen "In institutions, and knows how to load "the popular thought of a constituency "to a higher plane of political theory." Uis doubtful whether any of our practical politicians would lake tlie troublo to road Professor Baldwin's addross, but lt is easy to imagine what their comment would be if they did: "Very fino "in theory, but with uo application to "things as they aro. We understand "human motives first rate; wo know "that people liko to have public money "expended locally, and we play that "card as often as we can. As to constructing policies we put that off na long "uo we can for fear of committing some "error by whieh our opponents might "profit; but our general policy is to do "what wo think will please the majority "and inako ourselves popular. The his- "teric development of tho human mind "is nothing to ub or to tho electors at "large, and as to the thought of gotting "a constituency up to a higher piano we "should have to get oursolvos up there "first, and the chances are that if wo "did we should only bo putting our- "selves on the shelf." It Is unfortu nately tho case that the political philosopher has rarely been a successful politician; but it does not follow from tliat tbat a man may not cultivate and maintain a reasonably high political ideal, and yet command the confidence of a constituency. Such a man requires certain personal gifts of earnestness, of conviction, of Bhrewd common sense, of popular sympathy, but this combination of qualities is not after all of very rare occurrence, and a man possessing thein and willing to devote his time nnd energies to politics might exercise a very beneficial influence. It is a great tiling to havo a voico raised in opposition to those sordid appeals whicli do so much to degrade our politirs and lower tho tone of the constituencies. Even though the advocate of lietter principles might fail to carry the majority with him, it would be no small gain to infuse thoso principles into n'minority howcversmall. What after all is success? Hall depends upon what a man aims at. If a man's sole aim is to get himself elected lo the legislature, there is uo success-for him unloss ho gains his election. But if his primary aim is to advocate and champion right principles, to gain a hearing for elevated aud patriotic sentiments, to persuade a certain number of his fellow citizens tliat who all occupy themselves with politics are not given over to selfish and vulgar ambition, under such circumstances a man might succeed though be did not get a hundred votes. Many good men are too much scared at tho thought of failing in the eyes of the world, and tako too little comfort out bf the thought of achieving roal success ou behalf of souud principles. The result is that mere, factiouists, men who represent no principles whatever worth talking ubout, have the whole field to themselves, and iiin politics down to the lowest moral ebb, with their low intrigues and hollow speeches. We have some reason to think, however, that a better spirit is now abroad in the land; and, though it would be over-sanguine to look for bb close a union between philosophy nnd politics as Prof. Baldwin recommends, it may not be too much to hope thnt, little by little, the spirit of philosophy and of patriotism may bo infused into our politics, nnd that iu due time we may find that wo liavo outgrown some of the bad methods and practices of the past. This is a work in which every intelligent, right thinking man can holp; for it only means standing up for the truth and the right on all occasions, and antagonizing tho wrong. If we cunnot have a moral revolution wo can at least mako the beginnings of a moral reform. ^^^^_^__--— SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY". A school of silk-wenviug is to he established in Loudon, At 32 of the world's observatories photographic apparatus is now used for meteorological observations.

The Germans are said to be much in terosted iu M. Paul Giffard's repeating air rille, well-named "the miracle gun, It uses a steel cartridge about n foot long and as thick as a man's thumb, which is charged with vi veiled air aud contains 300 shots. Tho shots are expelled with great forco and accuracy, and without flash or smoke. The weapon is very inexpensive. Tho Opistltccomus, a bird of tbe island of Marajo, in the Amazon, is four-footed whon young. Its wing has two lingers, each with a claw which drops off after a time, and these are used in scrambling about. As tho wings of birds nre supposed to have heen evolved from prehensile bands, this is, as Mr. F. E, Bod- dard states, "a curious instance of a partial retention of an earlier condition." Groat Britain has been vory generally regarded as a land of singular freedom from earthquakes. Yot a new catalogue hy Mr. Win. Roper records no less than 582 diBtinct earthquakes as "the moro remarkable" ones felt in Groat Britain aud Ireland since tho beginning of tho Christian era. Of these, 235 occurred during the present contury aud 132 in the eighteenth century. Considerable evidenco points to disturbances iii tho twelfth century so severe as to raise the, beds of navigablo rivers aliovo tho water or to cliango tho courses of the streams. A somewhat novel brake brought out by two London electricians consists of two iron discs, one fitted to tho insido of tho car wheel, tho othor sliding on tho axle, but secured so that it cannot revolve. The second disc contains a powerful magnetic coil, whicli draws it to tho othor disc when tho electric current is turned on, tho adhesion causing the wheel to cense its revolution. In trials of this brake ou English roads, a car running 42 milos au hour was brought to a standstill in 150 yards, and ouo travelling 30 milos an Vour on a slippery track waB stopped in 00 yards. Odors havo been found to vary according tothe molecular weightof substances, and it is belioved with good reason that smell Ib duo to gaseous vibrations, liko Bight and hearing. Substances of low molecular weight have no odor, probably because their particles cannot Btrike the olfactory nerves with sulllcieiit force to be porcoived. It ia a curious fact of common oxperionco that odors do not combine, the strong ono boing perceived alone. By studying two odors at tlio samo time with an instrument varying thoir rolativo proportions, Dr. Z. Ward- oinskor, of Utrecht, has lately shown that when so balanced thnt neither was perceived alone, tho sensations wore extinguished completely. This ellect is analogous to tho interference phenomena of light mid sound. Tho gigantic Ceratoptiaa, whoso skulls Prof. O. C. Marsh haa beon examining-, appear to have beon not tho least important of tlio creatures that lived in Norlh America before the bison. Remains of these reptiles have been found over a distance of nenrly 800 miles lu tho uppor cretaceous deposits along tho eastern flank of tho Rocky Mountains, In the best known genus of tho family, tho skull exceeding In sizo that of every land animal hitherto known, must havo reached a length of more thnu eight feet. It was wedge-shaped, and had a remarkable and most formidable armature, including a sharp cutting beak in front, a strong born on tho noso, a pair of immense pointed horns on top of the head, and a row of sharp projections around the back of tbo bead. All were protected by a homy covering of great strength. Carnivorous animals, according to M. Charles Eicliet, bear fasting better than the herbivorous, tlio latter being accustomed to eat almost continuously instead of at uncertain intervals. Dogs can endure abstinence 30 days, on tbe average, and cold-blooded animals twice that time. A python, however, has been known to livo 23 mouths without outing, a rattlesnake 27 months, a tortoise 18 months and a frog 10 months. Tho endurance depends greatly upon tho activity of tho nervous system, which is wonderfully reduced during tlie torpidity of hibernating creatures, but tho fatal limit of fasting is usually reached in all animals when the loss in weight reaches 40 per cent. In the caso of man, in health, the estimate seems justified that 20 days of fasting will bring death. But with special preparations, as in the cases of Tanner, Succi and Merlatti, fasting seems to have been prolonged to twice this period, or longor, withont fatal rosult. Diseased persons often live much longer without food than healthy ones could. A Dutch hysteric woman died in 1820 after nearly four yenrs of fasting, and another woman died in 1828 after a lethargic fast of six months. Many cases of wonderful fasts, less entitled to belief, aro given by medical writers of two or three centuries ago. Among them is that of-a girl of Heidelberg who noither ate nor drank for seven years, that of a girl of Spires who lived for throe years upon nothing but a fow drops of water or wine, and tbat of a girl of Cologne who fasted four years and fainted at the taste of food, Iu the last century a woman is said to have lived 20 years in a state of partial fasting, relieved at intervals by a fow drops of milk or broth, aud another woman ate in a year only what an ordinary person would require for two days. THE FAIRHAVEN & .SOUTHERN. The Oompany P lulling Conalruotlon Vlgi» ron uly In Four Different Directions. The following interview with Nelson Bennett, token from the Tacoma (Robe, is of considerable interest: Questioned as to what ellect tho proposed extension of the Northern Pacific into British Columbia would haveon the Fairhaven & Southern, whoBe territory would be thus invaded, Nelson Bennett, president of tho lattor road, replied that it would make no difference whatever. "Tho Fairhaven & Southern," he continued, iB going right along with its construction. We are working iu four different directions. Twonty-Bix milea of road are completed ana in operation from Fairhavon to Sedro. Thenco wo nro pushing construction up tho Skagit river easterly twenty miles. How Mir will we build on this line? Oh, ns far as our money will go. From Westminster south we have twenty-four milea completed, nnd a working force is engaged ou a fivo mile strip south of the British lino, which is twenty-eight milos from Westminster. It is twenty-six miles from tho British line to Fairhavon. Right south of Sedro the construction forces aro scattered for a distanco of eighteen miles. YoU probably noticed a telegram, evidently inspired* to boom some Port Townsond lino that the ship Moody had left New York with a toad of steel rails for the Port Townsend road. Lot mc say to you that the ship Charles E. Moody has loaded aud is now on tho way from New York with 2,800 Ions of steel rails for the Fairhavon cc Southern railroad, and 1 wish you would stale in justice to our road," continued Mr. Bennett, "that the insinuations that wo have auy second hand engines or cars of the Northern Pacific railroad repainted for our use is utterly without foundation and false iu overy particular.

The Thrilling and Perilous Adventure oi Two I'lnrky Hoys. Ata picnic hold at Port Plekons, Fin., last summer two young men, Max Glim- and Jake Korschqimer, wont out in <•■ small boat for a row along tho bnr While tlmy wero trying to round Sunt: Roan Island their hunt was drawn int. tlie current, and in spite of all their ol forts they woro horno rapidly out towan- tho Gulf. "If wo only bad a flag or somethln." said Jako, "wo could oall holp from tie shore, p'r'apB." Max's fertile brain quickly devised u signal. lloi.li youths wore whito cotton shirts, nud in an instant Max bad pullei his olt nud was waving it on his oar. H* stood up in tho boat, tho bottor to K seon from shore, antl vigorously waven his signal of distress. Tho boat suddenly sworvod, and Mu> lost his hiiliiuee and fell overboard. Th. lighterart tipped, Jake slipped to thn side, and Die next instant both boj were in tho water. Jake succeeded ii getting :i bold on tho sido of tho boai and Max, who was buoyed up by tho oar which he still grasped, soon drifti* alongside where be could seize the boai Neither Jake'nor Max could swlu- llow long thoy could maintain tliot. priisenlisituation was uncertain. Tin.' wore in constant danger from shurl- Fortiniiitely. sea-buoy No. 10 was rlgb in t tlielr ooiii'So. Tho boat drifted against it antl stopped. "Lei's'got on the buoy,".said Jake ''It's our bost chanco," and suiting ti- notion In the wont he soon clinili- upon it. ami tbon reached down am helped ilfwc up beside him. Tholr boat drifted away whilo they wore attempting to right it. MeuiiLitoo tbelr friends on tho shor had seen their flag of distress and understood their danger. Thoy wer frantlo when they saw Max fall. The/ ran to tlm life-saving station for help, and a boat at onco started to tho rescue. Hy some mischance tlio life-saviii'! orew failed to discover tho youths on the buoy. They soarched tho Uulf for tho great pr part of tho day, but at length thoy gavo up, thinking tho sharks had devoured them. A boat from Itarrancns happened along toward evening, and, fortunately, camo nonr onough for tho yonng men's cries to bo hoard. Thoy wore soon released from thoir unoom for tain-' position, aftor having boon ovor flvo hours on tho buoy. "Wo liko to havo broiled thero In the sun." said Max, "and at ono tlmo six sharks wore swimming noar us. It thoro'd boon any son on, 'twould 'a' boon all day with us. If tho waves had struck us, wo couldn't havo stuok thore a minute." VIOLETS AND PANSIES. They Can lie Ralnml In Winter Outside o. a Oreon-1 Inline. To grow violets or panslos outside of a greon-hottao ls considered by practical gardeners one of tho easiest things to perform, according to tho Philadelphia Record. Many florists koop thom ln cold framos exclusively, for, as a rule, tboy bavo not room for thom In their green-nouses, unless a houso is built on purpose for thom. Thoy may bo grown In pots, as window plants, provided plonty of air oan be given on sunny days, and astoady temperature, betweon 85 and 55 degrees, oan bo kopt up. If kept In too high an artificial temperature they will not ilowor much, but will make up in red spidor what thoy lock In blossom. A geranium, a carnation and a monthly roso may be wintered nud flowered at n low tomporaturo If plonty of sunlight prevails. Tho violet wants to bo kept cool at all times if It la oxpeeted that It will fulfill lis mission. All tbisdoes not Imply thnt the tomporaturo of a violot houso or framo should novor be allowed to run up to sixty degrees, bocausi sometimes the heat In tho daytime h not always undor control. The sun may sometimes make the atmosphere undo) glass warmer than tho gurdunor would like to havo it, but to raise tho sash only ono Inch would tot tho frost in and do moro damago than the heat. In such aenso a littlo too high temperature Is the lesser evil, A good placo to grow violets or pan- Bles may bo constructed at tho soutli side of a dwelling. Dig a pit two feot deep along tho houso. Into this put a stout frame to recolvo a common hot-bed sash, the sash to loan against tho building. Tear down tho wnll that separator tho framo from the collar under the house nnd put a row of windows In Its place. The Idea of this Is that tho natural beat lu tlio collar shall koop your frame at a steady temperature. Al tbe samo time you may work ovor yum flowers, no matter what the outside woalhor may ho, and when no air ean bt: given from the outside lt may bo dom indirectly from the Insldo. When the outsido sash Is open tho Inside may hi shut. Thus the sun will warm up the collar, and porhnps storo a littlo lieut for tho night. _ WAR IS INEVITABLE. Bat Death-Dealing Inventions Will Temporarily Retard It, Captain E. h. Zalinski, America's high explosive celebrity, is studying things military and otherwiso in Paris. He is traveling under orders to obtain such Information as may ho obtainablo regarding certain military questions. He has already visited England, Holland, Belgium, Denmark and Germany and may goto Italy. In an interview touching tho question of a European war Captain Zal Inski said: "I am convinced that a European war is Inevitable, but not in the immediate futuro. Ono consideration alono Is sufficient to maintain peace for at least two yeara—viz., the faot that continental nations will need that amount of time to equip their armies with tbe new stylo of rifle and possibly, with modifluations, tholr artillery, to meet tho requirements of smokeless powder In both casos. "In this connection I may add that war, instead of boing bastouod by the frequent improvements in Its appliances, is actually rotarded hy thom, because whonover any thing of military importance Is discovered nnttons aro apt to watt bofore risking a conflict until they bave tested and applied them to tholr own uso. As such discoveries are constantly boing mado, war may thus bo postponed indefinite^ "Hut, postpone lt as they may, the crisis must como. When war doos come it will bo terriblo. I have just witnessed tho Gorman maneuvers at Hanover, and I assure you that had those two army corps done In earnest what tbey mado protonso of doing, of tbo 60,0(10 meti who went into that ton days notion tlioro would not ho 10,000 roady for servico today. Tho rost would have been placed hors de combat, dead or wounded. To such a degree havo modorn improvements In life-destroying machinery added to tho horrors of war." "What aro apt to ho the now features, Captain, of coming war?" "Ono will bo that smokeless powder, about whioh so muoh ado has beon mado. hut I am not altogether certain as to tho futuro of this invention In tlm lirst place it Is moro than questionable whether tlio powder will presorvo Its qualities long onough to mako its adoption warrantable Secondly, supposing that difficulty overcome, there fs an objection to its goneral uso, in tbo fact that tho maneuvers of attaoking troops would no longer be masked, thus placing thom at a serious disadvantage. In consoquenco armies might havo to oarry two kinds of powdor, and tills would, of course, he a grent encumbrance. "Tho small boro riflo Is anothor now thing. Tho European armies oarry rifles to-day with a boro of about half tho diameter of those usod ln our lato wm;, and is 7 t-2 or 8 mlllimetors. This results In an approciablo saving in tho size and weight of tho ammunition, so that tho soldier wbo could formerly carry only 80 rounds can to-day carry 130 or 110 rounds." "Is there any prospect of using high explosive cartridges in rifles?" "What would bo tho advantago? A rifle hall kills or disables surely enough as It is. Wo do not want to blow our enemies' bodies into fragments. In faot, wo would rather wound their men than kill them, becauso overy wounded man Incapacitates at least two others, wbo bavo to look after bim, whereas a doad man only needs burying, and even thnt is somotimos omitted."—Paris Lot- tor. HOW MEN MAKE~LOVE, Tour Fro ui-h ma ti Is tin* Most tuilli-nto nm Pawls tent of Suitors. "A Frenchman is tho most flolioa! and porsistentof suitors,"said MiirLo If r ton, tlio Franco-American opera bou, singer, in a recent interview tonNei York World reporter. "Repel bin ail vancosandho redoubles his attentions If you treat him coolly, his bouquet, generally Increase in, sizo and boaul.\\ Not all at onco, mind you. Ho doi nothing to oreate surprise and put tli object of his sentimental attack on tb qui vivo. Your true Frenchman is ai artist In lovo as in every thing tils;.*. Thu bouquet Incroascsin sizo almost im perceptibly day by day, .nnd delicate at tentions of all kinds-wbloh serve tc soften tho perverse heart of a woman nro multiplied after the samo careful and mathematical fashion. The amount of timo a Frenchman will glvo to tho besieging of a citadel is, in itsolf, the most delicate compliment ho cm pay to tho object of bis dovotion. And it ts for this reason that Frenchmen aro usually successful In thoir love affairs. .Men win, at first acquaintance aro positively dis tasteful succeed in mingling their personality aftor a time so thoroughly with a multitudo of pleasing attentions thm tho first unfavorable impressions aro altogether oblltoratod. "The American, on tho othor band, carries into his love-making tbo ideas which havo orovod sueoossful In hb businoss. His chief object seems to be to savo time. He measures hia success ln lovo not so much-by what ho captures as tho tlmo ho bas expended ln winning a victory. Uo Is in the habit of taking every thing for grnntod, nnd, what ib worse, plainly shows In his mannor that bo does so. No woman wants a man to think that sbo Is easily won, and no modo of proceeding could bo inoro Impolitic. Tho Americnn Is Introduced to a lady, and in half an hour expects to be treated like a life-long friend. I believo that in your American gamo of poker what you oall 'bluffing* is a vory ordinary modo of procedure. As 1 understand it, 'bluffing* ls an attempt to convince your opponent that you bavo ■ mortgage on all tho cards in the pack worth having, und y«'ii I'WiHy bavo nothing. That Illustrates my |. int perfectly. Au American cirrloa tho gamo of bluff Into his ivvulng, lio practically says: 'I hold alt tho winning cards, and whun I get ready I will simply lean ovor and collar tho pot.' And ho says this wltb a confident air highly exasperating to bis opponent, who, of course, In this easo, happens to bo tho lady. "In tho matter of presents the American is also vory dlfforont from the Fronchman. Ho is more lavish than tbo Frenchman Is, and ofton generous to extravagance. But ho shows llttio or no discretion, A Frenchman is Introduced to a lady upon whom ho Is desirous of making a good impression. The noxt day be sends hor a bouquet of ohotoo flowers and the next a box of bonbons, it mny be woeks after tho introduction before ho will make a call, and the diamond stago Is reached only aftor months of acquaintances!) I p. Whon an American moots a lady he desires to win ho will oall the following day and bring a diamond brooch or braoolet, Tho day following ho will send a grand piano or any thing olso -which happens to striko his fancy. Should he receivo no encouragement from tho lady nf his chuieo, he doos not, as In tho ouso of tho Fronchman, continuo sending presents until his persistence compels recognition. He limply transfers hts attentions to some othor quarter. "Tho dlfforonoo between a Fronchman and an Englishman may bo Been by tbe way oach looks at a woman on horseback A Frenchman looks flrst of all at the woman) an Englishman flrst of all nl tho horso. The American looks at botb together." Estate of John Craig, late of Ashcroft, Deceased.

Miller, of Sumas, was in the city to-duy. He says tho ice and wnter have made another cut into the river bank at the landing, hut the dam age was not so great as might have been expected. The failure of Mr. Sinclair to construct the wing dam hist fall wns a great disappointment lo the people in that locality, many uf whom still enter tain grave fears that the river will open u new channel inlo Sumas Luke at next high wator. Mr. Miller thinks the wing dam could be successfully built if the work was undertaken at the proper season, and if the piles to hold the mattresses were sunk close together. The government has offered to bear half of the expense of building a $5^000 wing dam, and if the municipality or the farmers most directly interested will engage to pay the other half, this much required work will probably be executed during the coming season. Certainly something should be done in this mattor, aB it would never do to allow oven the possibility of tho river's course lieing changed, »*-—»—*- The Sound Greyhound. Muir M.

Crossing the bridge lo reach the place, Ihey worked until dark, when they returned to the Cascade locks for the night. Next morning (Sunday) the same men, with an engine,- lender, caboose and necessary tools, storied for tho slide. The section men were in the caboose.

Just as tho engine liad about cleared the trestle, whieh was some fifty feet in length, the underpinning sup- porting the second aud third west bents wus washed away by the roaring torrent and under went the caboose with its load of human beings. It pitched head- lung down Ihe ravine, fifty feet below. Nothing but the presence of mind of Engineer George prevented the ongine frum going dowu. Wheu he felt something wrong he looked buck nnd snw the caboose swaying.
