A residence is about to be erected at the station for the Rev. T. Paton, Presbyterian minister. Messrs, Car- rington, McKiunon k Hay are tbe builders. The upper town is growing fast. Mr, Pierce, having completed his survey of Revelstoke townsite for the Dominion Government, left for Illecillewaet yesterday morning, where he will be employed in a similar task. Revelstoke Lumber Company are very busy, the scene at the mill being an animated one. The building season has commenced with some heavy orders, several carloiuls having been sent as far east as Regina. A gentleman from Seattle recently arrived at Nelson with the intention of starling a hotel, but finding that business overdone he went to Sloean prospecting, and fouud a ledge sam* pies from whieb assayed over 300 oz.

Buchanan has been granted timber leases to the extent of 1,760 acres at the head of Sloean Lake, estimated to contain about 9,000,000 feet of lumber. In all probability a saw mill with a capacity of 20,000 ft. a day will be ereoted there in the immediate future. Once more we make an offer to our subscribers and the publio generally. By paying up arrears and one year in advance subscribers to the Star will receive a oopy of The American Farmer for twelve months free. Any one sending in a year's snbsoription (92} to this office will be entitled to both papers. Five dwelling-houses are to be erected near the saw mill right away. Mr. R. Howson, builder, commenced work on the first of these on Monday morning, The townsite around tho mill has never been surveyed, consequently street formation has not been followed in the arrangement of the houses on that property. Mr. F. B. Wells, who has been buying pelts from trappers during the past winter, on Wednesday last effected a salo of over 200 marten skins to Mr. G. W. Baldwin, representing Joseph Ullmnn, of St. Paul, Minnesota. Tho skins were in excellent condition. Wo did not ascertain the prices realized.

The boats will be enabled to land passengers and freight for'the Kaslo- Slocin district at Nakusp wharf. It is to be hoped the road will be ready for the early traffic. Last night the Belmour-Gray Imperial Company played "Solomon Isaacs" to a full house, and the play pleased to the extreme. Miss Kate Dalgieish, in the pathetic sceue where tbe blind womau finds her stolen child, drew tears from the majority of tbe audienoe. The wily Isaacs was ably portrayed by Mr. C. M. Gray, aud as the schemiug villain Mr. Eelmour was a great success. Want of space forbids particulariza- tion whero all were good. To-night the company will produce the celebrated English comedy, in four acts, Hazel Kirke. Tho company oertaiuly is first class iu every respect and fully deserves the liberal patronage accorded them. Business is "looking up" in Revelstoke, The botels are full, and single rooms have to be converted into double ones, The stores are showing up lively, and a new one is to be erected at once. Carpenters are busy, building operations having become quite epidemic at the station, Several new hands have beon taken on at the mill, and the smelter, in the midst of all this bustlo, feels almost inclined to go to work again. Mr. F. McCarty, butcher, has just received a whole carload of boef. Mr. Law, tailor, has moro ordors on hand thr.n ho can get through with without oxtra help, Wo can guarantee Mr. Law's fit to bo porfeot, aud his workmanship has given thu highest satisfaction to all who have given him an order. Thoro is no doubt of our being ablo to boast of having a first-class tailor, Mr. P, M. Walkor and sovoral men employed on the snagboat Despatch arrived up early Monday morning. Mr. Walker Bays tho spring is niuoh further advanced in tho vicinity of the Arrow Lakes than it is here. The snow has been gono from the level for quite two months, but the mountain slopes aro still covered to a depth of about two feet, This, however, is fast disappearing beneath tie- fierce heat of tho suu. Thu tender gruss is springing, and the ranchers are busy planting. Cattle huvo lleuU feeding out siuco the middle of January. The buds are burstii g into leaf, and tho country is looking splendid. Tho Despatch has been engaged taking out snags, blasting rooks and dealing thu liver between Revelstoke und Rubson during the winter, and a further sum of $5,000 has been appropriated for similar work between R, velstoke and Upper I Arrow Lake during tho ensuing year, Clmrcli of Eiigiand Concert. Thn sohool-house ��as lit, r illy packed on Thursday night, tlio occasion being the Chnroh of log hind i-oui-ert, Tbe chairman w.i- the Rev. J. 0. C. Kemm, of Douald, who holds services iu Revelstoke the last Sunday in eaeh month. A noticeable feature in Revelstoke is the goodfellowship existing between tho different denominations, the members of one chorea beiug always ready and willing to aid another in thu way of talent, etc , uud this feature was conspicuous cu Thursday night. The programme was not au exteusive one, but one littlo drawback was the rather tedious waiiii.g which ncuurred between some of the numbers. The first to be honored with an encore was Miss Brown, whose pleasing recitation aud pretty stylo well deserved it. Mr. W. Lee got his usual recall for his comic song, which ho responded to, and then Master Lewis Rauch held the attention of the audienee while he delivered a recitation iu a clever manner. a\Ira. Creelman's song was really the gem of the evening, and should have been encored. Mr. G, Barber earned his recall. Then Mr, Silas Robinson, advance agent of the Beloiour Gray Dramatio Co, (now in towu) swayed the audienoe at will with his powerful style, now comic, now pathetic. Needless to say the applause was vociferous, and encores were hurled at the platlurni as thick as partioles of a London fog, but Mr. Robiuson would have none of it. He retired to where the refreshments were temptingly laid out. Then came club swinging by Misses Paton (2) and Oberg and Masters Lewis aud J'almer. Miss Lee followed --.ith a recitation which was applauded. A trio by Messrs. Paton, Barher and Sutherland was well rendered, and then Mr. Patou scored a success with a Scotch song in character. Miss Adair gave a oapital recitation, and was followed by Mr. Lee, who got a seoond enoore. Mr. H. J. Bourne then presented the chairman with a purse of mouey, representing the takings of the eveuing, as a token of the esteem in which he was held among them. Mr. Kemm, wbo seemed completely taken by surprise, re- turnod thanks for such an expression of their regard. It gave him great pleasure to know they thought so well of him. He was leaving B.C. next week for a ten weeks' visit to the old oountry, and his pleasure would be greatly enhanced at receiving such a generous mark of their esteem. (Applause,) Refreshments were then served and for half au hour coffee and sandwiches were paramount. Then came the piece da resistance���a faroical tableau. Tho scene represented an artist's studio, with all the accessories pertaining thereto. Mr. H. N. Coursier carried the part of the artist in a manner which showed considerable dramatic ability. Mr. Fred. Fraser, as geueral factotum and statuary duster, could hardly be excelled by an amateur. Mr. J. Sutherland as the statue, the centre-piece of the studio, waa a complete success, "De cullud pusson" (Mr. Syder) was a first-class get-up, and tbe "Lord Dundreary" style of visitor (Mr. W. Lee) who wanted to "see how the thiug worked," fouud that he only had to turn the handle and the statue (the sham statue) "did the rest," Last, but by uo means least, must be mentioned the two beautiful pictures ��� completed and framed ��� which graced the back of the studio. \V�� must congratulate the young ladies (Misses Halliday and .McLean) on tho manner in which they bore (bo trying ordeal of boing stared at. They not only filled tbe frame, but", as everyone admittod, they entirely "filled tbe bill," ' Mrs, Kirkup aud Mrs. Lee played the accompaniments lo the various songs aud .Miss Halliday furnished the music at thu club swinging, .\jrs% Patou superintended tbe serving of refreshments, aided by .Vis.

THI] EAGLE'S VISIT- Once upon a time the eagle was thc king of all the feathered world, and because ho lived up so high on the mountains and occupied so exalted a position he grew to tliink very much ol" himself indeed. He imagined that he was ruler not only of birds, but of the whole created universe, Now this is a very dangerous state of mind to he in. A very wise man said once that pride goes before a fall, and the cade found this to be true. lie wasn't called thc eagle in those days. He had a much more high-sounding name. It was magna avis, which means the great bird. And that, too, helped to make him conceited. One day the dove met with an accident. She hurt her wing and was obliged to Ily very near the ground. She could not reach her home at the top of the mountain, so she had to remain down in the valley for several days until she got strong. When she was aide to ily she hastened to the eagle with a wonderful story. "Oh, great one," she cried excitedly, "I lave made a discovery. Far down below lie crags on which we live are the most oniler'ul creatures. There arc great beasts tinny times larger than yourself. They valk o.i four feet, and instead of wearing leathers they are covered with hair, and there are other things more strange still, who are clad in something that does not grow on their bodies at all. They walk upon two feet, but they have no wings and thev carry their heads very high. And when they meet each other they make queer sounds and bend themselves forward in the most peculiar manner." The eagle smiled in a very superior way and replied: "My daughter, you grew weary with your long journey, and 1 fancy you saw must of these things with your head under your wing." "indeed, sir," protested the dove, eagerly, "I was not dreaming, Pray stretch your great wings and go see for yourself. You will be convinced then." She was so very earnest that it made the eagle think. "1 really ought to investigate this matter," he said to himself, "If there bo any such wonderful things in the world 1 would like to know it. As yet I have discovered no animal as great as myself." "None that you acknowledge to he so great, you mean," said a voice close hy. Turning about the eagle saw the condor perched on a crag above him. Now there has been for ages great strife among these birds as to which was the larger and stronger. But as thn eagle was mure beautiful than the condor and had a smoother tongue, he had held his position. " 1 think,'' continued the condor, " that if you would consent to a fair measurement you would discover that there dwells very near you a bird larger than yourself." " Look here, my friend," said the eagle loftily, l! we will settle this dispute here and now. I heard that down in the valley below us dwell beasts who are able to vanquish us both. Now I am about to go and see if this he true, if it is, why then there is no longer any use for you and me to quarrel. It it is not true then, we will have a fair contest for the mastery. Are you satis- tied':" "Perfectly," answered the condor. Then the eagle called all the feathered tribes together and spoke to them. He first told the dove's story, and then of the compact between himself and the i ondor. " And now," said he, " I'm going to find out about this thing. If there are in creatures aa the dove has told me i ��� and Imeetthem and iliev overpower mc, and I never come back, why, then, muatchooae tor your king the one whom you think most worthy, And now I bid you g i by,' an 1 ipreadinghia wings the rplen. did l,ir i ihi ��� down Irom the mounl iu . There wm i great flutter iver the tin and the bird.- i rowded around the I sparrows are but miles beside him." The more Wang Tong gazed the more his wonder grew. At last he decided that the eagle must be a god, and he fell on his knees before it. Then he ran and told all his friends about the wonderful winged god that sat on the wall, and all the mandarins camo out and fell on their knees. At last one of them said: " We must place this new god in a temple, where wo can ofler proper worship to him." So they seized poor Magna, and before he knew ii he was held captive by chains. He was terribly frightened and very much mortified, but not for a moment did he forget that he was a king. He could not understand one word of what the men said so he could not tell what they ment to do with him. He thought he would speak to them. " Most mighty sirs," he said, " I do not know or what you are but I am Magna Avis, King of the Birds. I came down here to see if such creatures as you did really live, and now that I havo seen I would like to return to my friends. I will not trouble you, I came with no evil intent���1 beg you not to hurt me." But of course they could not understand him and were preparing to shut him up in a splendid temple, where ho would probably have died in a short time. Suddenly there came a whir of wings, and the condor swooped down with such force upon tho man who hold the oaglc that he let him go at once, and immediately ho soared far above their reach and returned with the condor to their craggy home. "Now," said .Magna, "you have saved my life, and hereafter you shall be the king, for we will still hold our own dominion in spite of those who lives before us." But the generous condcr answered: " No, no ; I will have it so. You shall he the king now and always. Only that I think I have proved," he said, with a sly wink, " that I am the stronger." " 1 admit it," said Magna; "and if it pleases you and the rest of the birds we will settle that way. You are the stronger, hut I am King." And that is how it happened that in the world or birds the eagle ranks above tho condor, although the condor is eo much larger. A New Torsion or an Old Story About (ol u tubal. It is one of those tales that illustrate the manners ot this cruel age. The pirates had long heen the scourge of the honest Venetian traders. Sometimes they would disguise themselves as merchantmen trading peacefully to Candia for wine, and then throwing off tlicir disguises, would prey upon all around them. No mercy was shown in these fearful contests. Between the sea-robbers and the merchants there waB a lasting and deadly hostility. It was to the pirate class that thc Columbi belonged, and of all thu corsairs of thc day they were the most renowned. The elder Columbus had apparently lain in wait in vain for the rich fleet that sailed yearly to the north, But he had a son, known as Columbus Junior, who followed the same profession, and whose true name was Nicolo Griego, or Nicholas the Greek. Ho at last succeeded in the project which his father had so long essayed in vain. The prize was a tempting one to the hold buccaneers, The Flanders galleys with their freight were valued at two hundred thousand ducats��� perhaps two million of dollars and would have proved an immense fortune to the captors could they have retained thc spoil. In 1-185 the galleys wero equipped with unusual care. We have tho decreo of the Senate under which they Bet Bail. The Doge Giovanni Moncenigo appoints the noble Bartolomeo captain, with a salary of six hundred ducats. Four great galleys are provided, and to each captain a bounty of 3500 golden ducats is promised upon their safe return to Venice. This money was to he paid out, of tho tax on the Jews, and calls up anew Shakespeare's unreal picture; it is plain that the merchants of Venice were the true Shylocks of the time. A medical man was assigned to thc fleet; his salary was only nine ducats a month. Minute rules are given for the conduct of the expedition. The freight is to be paid to the state. No deck-loads of tin or pewter ware are allowed, no currants nor molasses are to bestored in the hold. Two galleys were to go to London or the Knglish ports, the rest to Sluys or Bruges. On their passage they might touch at Malaga and other ports in Spain ; on their return a ship was detached to trade with the Mohammedans along the Barbary shore. The Venetians were too keen traders not to find profitable markets even in the lands of the infidel. The Columbi or the Griegos were at last to seize their prize. They watched with seven ships���powerful, no doubt, and well equipped���off the Spanish coast to intercept the fleet of Bartolomeo Minio. The commander of the pirates was Nicolo Griego, the son, we are told, of the elder Columbus. His father had disappeared from sight. But with him in the pirate ships was another Columbus, the future discoverer and admiral of the Indies. In his "Life" Fernando Columbus boasts of his father's share in this famous engagement���famous because it led to the settlement of Columbus at Lisbon, his marriage, and his future exploits. He was now a man of at least fifty, harden* , ,->���,-, ... .T. I ed by thirty-six years of ceaseless adven- ed by the mystic wheel ol Vishnu, is the ) ^ J wJt ^.^ ^ held in the pirftte The Oar of Juggernath. The Temple of Juggernath at Pooree Orissa, says the Rev. W, Miller in the ill's- sionary Herald, with its surroundings, was completed as it now stands in 11 OS A. D. Its erection occupied fourteen years, and cost a sum equal to half a million sterling. It stands in an enclosure, nearly in the torm of a square, marked off by a massive stone wall, 20 feet high by 052 feet long and 030 broad. Within the enclosure are found some one hundred and twenty smaller temples dedicated to the principal objects of modern Hindu worship, so that each pilgrim, oi whatever sect, rinds his own favorite god or goddess represented. The high conical tower rising above the others, "Ike an elaborately carved sugar-loaf," one hundred and ninety two feet high and surmount- shrineof Juggernath, where he sits in jeweled state, with his brother Balabhsdra and sister Subhadra. The images arc rude logs, clumsily fashioned into the form of thc human bust, from the waist up. On the occasion of the car and bathing festivals golden hands are fastened to the short stumps which project from the shoulders of the idols. The next tower is the Hall of Audience, in which the pilgrims assemble to gaze upon tiie images. The next structure is the Pillared Hall, appropriated to the musicians and dancing girls. Adjoining the above is the Hall of Offerings, where fruits, flowers, and various articles of food are deposited, preparatory to being offered to the idols and appropriated by two priests. The outer structure i.s the eastern and principal entrance to the enclosure, called Singa-dwara, or Lion's (late. In front of this is a beautiful monolythic pillar which stood for centuries before the Temple of the Sun at Kanarak, twenty miles of north l'uri. The structure, with a double roof resting on pillars, north ot the Lion'sl late, i.s the Sriau Man.lugs, or Place of Bathing, where the idols I'.RrF.IVE THEIR PUBLIC ABLCTI0K3 before being repainted or decorated for the fleet, whether as commander or seamen, his son does not tell. We only know that he served under his relative, Columbus or Griego, and that he fought with desperate energy in the famous sea-fight off Cape St* Vincent. Tbe corsairs or the Columbi approached their prey in the evening ; they waited all night on the still Atlantic, and in the morning rushed upon the Venetians. It was seven, perhaps eight, ships against four, The galleys were heavy-laden and unmanageable, compared to their swift assailants. The Columbi had evidently resolved to make sure of their prey. They sailed under the French flag, and may have been fitted out in Genoa. It was the custom of the pirates, it seems, to assume false colors. But dreadful was the contest and fierce the fight that raged all day, as Columbus had told his son, on the tranquil sea���the scene, nearly four centuries later, of the battle of St. Vincent���and his narrative is confirmed by the Venetian archives. The four great galleys under Bartolomeo Minio defended themselves with unfailing outrage. From the first to the twentieth hour they heat off their savage assailants. The ships grappled with each car festival. It is only at the bathing and other, and fought hand to hand. They used car festivals that Jug-remain appears in i we are told, artificial (ire and the pirates } public. Th, Btihmins say that the reason , fastened their ships to the galleys by hooks ! for this is that people of the low castes, who and iron chains. Then no doubt they board- are pr :. ited from ntering the temple, ed, and were at last successful, And then may have a sight of Juggernath and be Fernando Colon relates the romantic inci- saved. j dent that led, he thinks, to the dicovery of e open space in front of the Temple is a new world.

The mirages that are seen upon it have bestowed upon it a peculiar and distinct fame. They are known to the people of the lake only as "reflections." I have heard many sailors describe the wonderful ones they have witnessed ; I would give another journey out there to see one. Men have told me that they have seen Duluth when they were 185 miles away from it- upside down and in the sky, but distinctli Duluth. One sailor said that at one broad noonday he suddenly saw a beautiful pasture, replete with an apple-tree and a five- rail fence, shining green and cool before him, apparently close at hand. The effect the clear air produces by apparently magnifying objects seen upon the lake is most astonishing. To illustrate what I mean, let me tell what happened the very last time I saw the lake. I was on a tug-boat, and upon coming out of the cabin I saw ahead of me a tremendous white passenger steamship. The boats were approaching oue another at right angles, and this new-comer loomed up bkc a leviathan among vessels, bigtter than one of our new naval cruisers, high above the water aa a house would look, 1 called attention to it, and a companion, familiar with thc lake, replied, " I wonder what boat it is; she's a whopping lug one, isn't she!" .Something distracted my attention, and live minutes afterward, when 1 looked at the approaching vessel again, sho had passed the mysterious point at which she was most exaggerated in apparent size, and had become an ordinarily large lako steamer. But that was not the end of thc trick. Sho began to dwindle and shrink, growing smaller r.nd smaller in size, until the phenomenon became ridiculous. In time tho clastic boat had become a very small passenger propeller, and I found myself wondering whether she would be discernible at all by the time we were abreast of her. But at that the optical frolic ceased. A small screw steamer of the third class was what she proved to be.- [Haiper's Magazine. "Patriotism and Politios." Cardinal Gibbons, in his article, " Patriotism and Politics," in tho April North American Review, has the following power- ul plea for purity in politics:���" But when the very fountains of legislation are polluted by lobbyim- and other corrupt means ; when the hand of bribery is extended, and not always in vain, to our municipal, state, and national legislators; when our lawmakers become the pliant tools of some selfish and greedy capitalists, instead of subserving the interests of the people,���then, indeed, all patriotic citizens have reason to be alarmed about the future of our country. The man who would poison the wells and the springs of the land is justly regarded as a human monster, as an enemy of society, and no punishment could bo too severo for him. Is he not as great a criminal who would poison and pollute the ballot-box, the unfailing fount and well-spring of our civil treedoin and of our national life? The Ark of the Covenant was held in the highest veneration by thc children of Israel. It was the oracle from which God communicated his will to the people. Two cherubim with outstretched wings were placed over it as sacred guardians. Oza was suddenly struck dead for profanely touching it. May wc not, without irreverance, compare the ballot-box to thc ancient Ark 1 Is it not for us the oracle of God, because it is the oracle of the people ? God commands us to obey our rulers. It is through the ballot box that om rulers are proclaimed to us; therefore, its voice should be accepted as the voice of God. Let justice and truth, like twin cherubs, guard this sacred instrument. Let him who lays profane hands upon it be made to feel that lie is guilty of a grievous offence against the stability of government, the peace of Society, and tho majesty of God." Judicious Advertising, The advertiser often slights this, which is a most important branch of his business. He prepares his copy hurriedly and without judgment or thought, leaves its display to the printer's taste, does not attract the eye or the dollar of the reader, and then says advertising does not pay. Advertising is an art, and does pay, if made a study. The advertising agent has goods just as legitimate and valuable to sell ns the salesman of drug? or jewelry, and this fact is recognized by advertisers. The essentials of advertising can perhaps be stated as but three in number : you must have what people want or can be made to want; you must select thc proper medium to reach them, and you must tell your Btory in an attractive and forceful manner. All the resources of modern ingenuity are called to tho aid of the advertiser���art, poetry, music, high literary ability, keen business insight, all contribute their quota. Lincoln's famous saying that" you can fool all the people part of thc timo, and part of the people all the lime, but you can't fool all the poople all the timo," must not be denied in practice, if ono expects to build up an enriui ing success. Advertising is a field of an infinitude of variety ; what succeeds in one branch, is a failure in another. Intelligent study of the question is an absolute necessity.��� [l'liarm Kra, Electric Lighting.

The most expensive false hair is the silver white variety, which is in great demand and very difficult to find. This is due to the fact that men grow bald in a majority of cases before their hair reaches the silver white stage, and women, whether bald or not, are not disposed to sell their white hair at any prico. They need it themselves. Still women growing bald must have white hair to match the scant allowance advancing age has left them. The chemists, havo taken thc matter in hand and arc able to produce by decloration of hair of any color a tolerable grade of white hair, which, however, has a bluish tint not at all approaching in beauty the silvor softness of hair which has been bleached by nature. False hair in the ordinary shades ia obtained in two ways. Tho better and more expensive kind is cut directly from the heads of peasant women, who sell tlicir silken tresses sometimes for a mere song and sometimes for a fair price, ac-ording as they havo learned wisdom. Kvery year tho whole territory of France is travelled over by men whose business it is to persuade village maidens, thoir mothers and aunts, to part with their hair for financial considerations. These men arc known as "cutters," and there are at least 500 of them in the country, always going from house to house, from farm to farm and through all the villages in all tho departments, seeking subjects for their scissors. A good cutter averages from two to five heads of hair a day, and he pays from 2f. to lOf. for each. It is estimated that a single head of luxuriant hair weighs about a pound. The false hair thus obtained���at the coat of the tears and regrets of many foolish maidens���is tho finest in the market, and sells for an exaggerated price, which puts it beyond the roach of the ordinary purchaser. Besides, it is evident that the supply of genuine " cuttings" must fall far short of the demand for false hair. So the majority of this wavy merchandise is obtained���yes, ladies, I am exceedingly sorry, but it is the fact���from the, rag-pickers. These busy searchers of the ash heaps and garbage barrels collect every day in the City of Paris alone at least a hundred pounds of hair which some hundreds of thousands of women have combed out of their heads during the proceeding twenty-four hours. This hair, all mixed together and soiled, one would think, beyond redemption, is sold to hair cleaners at from Sl to ��1.50 a pound, which shows simply that the fair sex in one city alone throws away annually r-bout ,'i00,000f worth of hair, for which they afterward pay���and it is the same hair, mind���considerably over l,000,000f. The cleansing of this refuse hair ia an operation which requires careful attention. After the hair has been freed from the dust and dirt and mud and other unpleasant things with which it has come iu contact in gutters and slop buckets it is rubbed in sawdust until it shines once more with its pristine gloss, and then the process of sorting is begun. In the first place skillful hands fix the individual hairs in frame with the roots all pointing the samo way, and then they are arranged according to color. Finally, when a sufficient number of hairs of one color have been obtained���nor is this number so immense as is generally supposed ���they are made into the beautiful braids which are shown so seductively in the windows of fashionable coiffeurs, If, as the good book says, wisdom goes with the hair, she who places on her head one of these conglomerate braids might bo said to receive a portion of the wisdom of hundreds or thousands of other women who had worn those hairs before her. It is said that the " cutters" in France have plied their trado so industriously that at present it is hardly possible iu the whole republic to find a women who will sell her hair. The business has been done to death and now the enterprising dealers in false hair are sending their representatives through Switzerland, Belgium and Norway, canvassing for unsophisticated lasses who will allow themselves to be robbed of their hair which is half thoir beauty, for a few- pieces of silver. The Uzar and the Kaiser. A St. Petersburg correspondent says;��� Tho following story reaches me from a good source, but 1 give it under all reserve: -After the German Emperor's late speech, a gentlemen who was present remarked that, whilst his Majesty was confident about coming glory, he should not forget that Russia was behind him. William II. retorted:���I will pulverize Russia." General Thovaloff heard this story, instituted inquiries, and, finding it was true, reported the matter to M. de Gicrs, who repeated it to tho Czar. Alexander III. sent for General Schwcinits, and said to him���"Tell your Kaiser, when he wants to begin pulverising, I will throw half a million men across the frontier with the greatest pleasure." Thero is nothing intrinsically Improbable in this anecdote, which pretty accurately represents tho present s'ate of feeling. In reference to the statement that there ure ,'100,000 mounted troops in Poland, I am inclined to believe tin figures to be exaggerated, but there can be no doubt whatever that every available Cossack from a considerable number of cavalry divisions is now quartered within easy distance of the frontier.

Employments for Country Women. It is exceedingly aggravating to find women discarding work just as it becomes financially profitable and men taking it up. Yet this happens in numberless cases. As soon as one employment becomes of serious import and of value enough for men to adopt it, women are quite likely to discard it, or are frightened out of competition with their stronger brethren. Several centuries ago, when the mass ot mankind was occupied with feats of arms, women were the only leeches known. It was considered a most womanly aet to study thc virtues of herbs and medicines, and oven to acquire the art of surgery. Yet, till within the last score of years, it has been a common thing to sneer at a woman physician as those who have stepped out of the limits prescribed for their sick. Gradually the prejudice against the woman physician is being overcome. Many other cases might be instanced where women have gone back into lucrative employments from which they had been pushed by the superior force of men and made a success of them. The most conservative thinker would hardly say that butter- making was not a woman's employment, but as soon as butter-making is conducted in a large creamery, where it becomes a mat'.er of a thousand poundsa week instead of fifty, and is conducted on scientific principles so that the result is sure, it is done by men. The fact ia that our farmers' wives, with theirlong experience in butter-making, are being driven out of an excellent and lucrative employment by the engagement of male and alien hands. No one doubts that the business of creameries is a success, yet it is to be regretted that in woman's peculiar sphere she has not made thissuccess herowu, and has allowed the middlemen to come between her and the market. Why should not larmers and daughters in a largo neighborhood organize md establish a co-operative creamery, to which they would all furnish the cream? There are abundance of farmers' daughters seeking employment in the cities, studying art, studying what not, who could do all the work ot such an establishment except the work of lifting heavy buckets, which ought to be done by a male employe. There is no of it as a new Chinese drink, which he had had the pleasure of tasting. All sorts of unknown virtues were attributed to it when first introduced. Among others, the power to overcome sleep, so that whole nights might be spent in study, without hurt to the body. Very early, tea aud gossip were associated together. Various poets of that time dwelt upon the tendency that tea had to excite scandal. Pope, describing a company of toa-drinking gossips, says of the "cheering cup": "Still ns their ebbing malice it supplies. Some victim falls, some reputation dies," liven in the middle of the eighteenth century tea had not come into general use, and was regarded as an article of extreme luxury. A clergyman of this time, in his diary, mentions il as the only article of luxury he allows, which ho is compelled to by reason of his wife's " London education," and he adds: "But, as we seldom offer it, except to thc best of company, less than a pound will last us a twelvemonth," The poet Southey speaks of some one presenting a pound to a friend iu tho country, whose wife was so ignorant of its use that she boiled it up as one would spinach, and served it with pepper and salt. Very soon after this, tea came into daily use among all families of wealth. It //as regarded as a euro- all by some and as a dangerous herb by others. Johnson inveighed against its use, but to no avail, for tea became more and moro popular. There was more reason to condemn this beverage in a wholesale way when it was boiled, as it undoubtedly was at first. Boiling develops the tannic, which is certainly injurious to the nerves. Tea should always be made, as everybody knows nowadays, with boiling water, and steeped, not boiled. It is not necessary only that it should be water in an actual state of ebullition, but that it shall be water at its first boiling -water that has never been boiled before. The Russians, who are a nation cf tea-drinkers aud are near enough to the Chinese to have received something ot their methods in tea making, are very particular to use fresh-boiled water, They use the samovar invariably in making tea, but the tea is not made in the samovar, as many suppose. It is simply the utensil which takes the place and serves the purpose of our tea-kettle. No Russian lady trusts her servant to make the tea. She makes it herself at the table. Therefore she must have a utensil which willboil the water for the tea at the table, and this is what the samovar does. It is usually of brass, though it may be of other metal. It is urnlike in shape, but, unlike an ordinary urn, it has an inner compartment, which may be filled with burning charcoal to heat the water in the other part. The charcoal is not lighted till the samovar is placod on the table. The boiling water is drawn unto the tea, which is put into a porcelain or earthernware teapot. The first water is thrown off the tea as soon as it is put on. It is used merely to rinse off the dust. The second water is used for drawing the tea, and sufficient to make a strong tea is put on at once. Then the teapot is covered, and an ample tea-cosey is fitted over it. It is allowed to draw till the tea grounds sink. This will be in four or five minutes. Sufficient of this stromr tea is poured into each cup or tea-glass, as tea is drunk in glasses set in metal frames in Russia, and not in cups and saucers, and the glass is then filled with boiling water from the samovar. By this means all the delicate aroma and refreshing qualities of the tea are retained in the drink, and none of the rank flavor, which makes it a dangerous article for nervous people io use. Russians do not drink strong tea, and we would do well to imitate them in this respect. No metal teapot, not even one of silver, is fit to make boiling water in. Nothing is better for this purpose than the old teapots of heavy glazed brown earthenware. It is to be regretted essential part of the work of butter-making' that we do not use a tea-cosey ordinarily on which may not be better entrusted to women's hands than to men's. The establishment should, of course, be conducted on strict business principles. There should be agencies for the sale of the butter in citieai and village where it will command the best prices, and such agencies should be in charge of daughters of those interested in the co�� operative scheme. There is no possible reason why many of the army of unemployed women who are continually drifting to the cities for work should not be aided by such a project as this. There is always a demand for home-made bread and cake, homemade pickles and home-made preserves, at prices which will compete with tie inferior produce of this kind now for sale. Canning and pickling establishments of a similar kind might also be conducted on the cooperative plan by unemployed women. It is not our purpose to add to the many burdens of the farmer's wife. It is not a question so much of whether she finda enough to do us whether what she does gives the best result. There is no use of fanners of limited means educating their daughters for teachers, for the ranks of teachers are over full. There is little more use in educating them in art than there is in educating them to write poetry as a remunerative profession. What they need is practical employment, which wiil bring a practical money return. Part of a Kitchen Outfit. A homo tool-cheat is an essential part of the outfit of a kitchen. Every housekeeper should bo provided with a thoroughly good hammer of ordinary size in addition to the lack-hammer; two good screwdrivers ���one of medium and one of small size,; a saw of a size convenient for a woman to use and not too large to saw a ham bone ; a gimlet a file, wrenches, and boxes of nails and screws in several sizes. Thc articles should be kept in a stout box with a cover, and should bo out of the reach of wandering children seeking what mischief they can devise. However useful manual instruction may be to the rising generation, no housekeeper wishes that the window ledges and other parts of the woodwork of her house should be a field for such practice. Moreover, if tho tools are our tables. This is a tufted cushion in cap shape, which envelops the tea-pot and keeps tho tea warm. No tea of any kind that has been boiled is fit for drink. The longest time that any tea should be allowed to steep is from five to seven minutes. As soon aa it is Bteeped this length of time, it should be served. If it waits even a few minutes on the stove after steeping it is ruined. They are Weanne Big Hats in Paris. The Paris hats are large, with flap brims, which are caught up at the back by upright tufts or ostrich plumes, and invariably haa-e strings for tying under thechin. Some- timez the hats are straw, and somotimes are drawn on wire, and are the foundations of the most quaint and curious admixture ot colored ribbons and shaded ribbons and flowers of several kinds; for example, a large tuft of shaded tulips was accompanied by bunches of cowslips. The Welsh crown in these hals is one of the greatest novelty, and our eyes are for the present so unaccustomed to them that I doubt if anybody could wear them without attracting attention. Close-set wreaths of roses without foliage often surround these crowns and arc introduced beneath the brim. ���[Queen. Posture In Prayer, The Bishop of Huron, in a recent sermon, had something to say to an Anglican audience respecting posture in prayer, which wo suspect might with much propriety, be said iu some Presbyterian churches also : " It was a painful thing lo look over a congregation while prayers were being offered and to see the light part taken in lhe homage by many of those present. Many never condescended to bend iht knee, but lounged back in sumptuous in* difference, while at the close there came i but a feeble and meaningless 'Amen.' It I was not wealth nor any other temporal I power which the Church needed so much | as the deep, spiritual power of prayer.

Thc spot on the sun, first noticed on the "ith inst., has had special attention directed to it by the reports received of the interference with the telegraphic system of Russia, Sweden, the United States and Canada, he magnificent display of aurora borealis to Saturday night last and the magnetic disturbance which waa also experienced in this country. Mr. Christie, the astronomer royal, informed our representative yesterday that this is the largest spot yet photographed at the Greenwich Observatory (where the sun has been regularly and systematically photographed since 1 S73,)and that the greatest attention has been paid to it with a view to clear up, as far as possible, moot points with regard to the cause, periodically, and, perhaps, even more particularly, the magnetic disturbance which these spots bring about on this earth. Some excellent photographs have been secured, but, unfortunately, on several days the aim was obscured, and until photographs are received from India or Mauritius the investigation can not be regarded as complete. However, the information which Mr. Christie has obtained is of the grcatestintcrest and value, In the first place, the spot is found to bo composed of two nuclei, very black, surrounded, as usual, by a penumbra or fringe, and with several smaller nuclei connected with it. Occupying as it does an area of about l-.'i50ths of the face of tho sun as we see it, the " spot"���still to speak of it in the singular number���is plainly shown on the negatives taken at the observatory; photographic plate ten inches square being used, and the solar disk being eight inches in diameter. Without, therefore, the aid of a magnifying glass, the unusual size and importance of the spot are at once evident. But it is when the negative is placed under the microscope and accurately measured that the details of its size become more striking, for it is found that, while its greatest length is about 100,000 miles and its greatest breadth b'0,000 miles, the whole group extends over 150,000 miles. Asked as to what was the cause of these spots, Mr. Christie said that TllERl! HAD BEEN* SEVERAL THEORIES framed to account for the phenomenon, but none that was entirely satisfactory. There were those, for instance, of Faye, Secchi, and Lockyer. The theory of the last named was that the spots arc caused by a bombardment of meteoric matter falling into the sun and causing a great " splash." The nucleus, as the dark spot is called, is cold, and is at lower level than the general surface of the sun ; while around the spot are generally seen what are called facuice, parts of the Bun's surface which are raised up. Often by means of the spectroscope can be traced masses ot molten matter surging round and over the nucleus. The apparent movement of the spot across the face of thc sun is, of course, the movement of the Bun itself carrying the so -called spot with it. On those points Mr. Christie was careful to state that all is conjecture; and he pointed out, as an objection to Mr. Lockery's, theory that while the spots never appear far from the sun's center the nearer the spot is to the solar equator the faster it appears to move ; a spot at the extreme limit from tho equator taking two days longer to complete the circuit than one near to it. What he was able to speak more positively upon, from the records at the Observatory, was the characteristicofthespots as they have been observed. In thisconnection a very valuable aeries of diagrams have been prepared by Mr. Ellis.both from the observations since 1873 and from the records prior that year, showing not only that the magnetic disturbances have beeu coincident with the appearance of the spots, but that the intensity of the disturbance has been in exact ratio with the size of the spot. They further show that the "spottiness" oi the sun reaches its maximum every eleven years, dying gradually down to its minimum of absolute freedom from spots, and as gradually increasing. There was, for instance, a minimum in 1878, and the maximum at the end of 1882 or the beginning of 1883. Then, again, there was a minimum in 1889, since which year the number and frequency of the spotB have been increasing. It ia a notable fact that when there are the fewest spots they come near the equator, but when a fresh cycle begins the spots appear in high ��� er latitudes���about 35 degrees or so from the equator, though never appearing at a greater distance than 40 degrees. These are the solar phenomena in connection with the spots. The terrestrial magnetic phenomena are equally striking, the magneticstorms ordisturbances beingof great extent���amounting to several degrees m thc deviation of the compass. IN* THE PBESENT INSTANCE, soon after the spot had passed the con tra meridian, there was a great magnetic dis turbance from noon on Saturday to noon on Sunday, and that was accompanied by aurora on Saturday niglit. During this period both the movement of the needle to the north and its attraction to tho earth showed groat disturbance. This has been fixed by the recordinginstrunicnts at Greenwich, which work in this way: In the point of the magnetized needle is a stnu.ll mirror, which reflects light upon sensitized paper. Ordinarily, therefore, there is o.i tho paper, which revolves on a drum, a continuous lino, which shows that tho needle has been quiescent. But when tho magnetic disturbance of Saturday set in, instead of a straight line there was recorded a series of zigzag lines, showing that the noedlo was darting from one side to tho other to such an extent to get off thc paper���some fcur or live inches in width���on both sides, many times, ant exactly the same results were found iu tho register of currents passing through tho earth. The matter of interest now, said Mr, Christie, is to discuss what is the connection between the sun spots and these extraordinary magnetic disturbances. Thero arc now three or four marked cases on record of large spots on the sun being coincident with theso disturbances on the scale experienced during the past few days; but while thero are no cases of a luge spot being seen without magnetic disturbances being felt, there aro cases in which the latter have been experienced without sun-spots being visible, This might Le urged as upsetting lho theory ; but wc only see what is going on on one side of the sun, and it is very possible the spot was "oil the other side;'' so that the absence of a visible spot can not bo held to prove that then- is nothing on the sun causing the disturbance. i nure came a uny oi snowors Upon the shrinking snow; The south wind sighed of llowers, The softoiiing Bkies hung low.

And in the night thc reign Of winter camo again, With frost, upon the forest And stillness on tho stream. When morn, in rose and crocus, Came up tho bitter sky, Celestial beams awoke us To wondering ocstacy, Tho wizard winter's spell Hud wrought so pasalng woll That earth was bathed in glory, As though God's smile wero nigh.

D.Roborts. Spurgeon and Beeoher. Several writers are speaking of Mr. Spur* geon as the Beecher of London. This is to use words without discrimination, if anything more be meant than that the two were respectively the most conspicuous preachers of their generation in England and the United States. In most other respects between .Mr. Spurgeon and Henry Ward Beecher, the difference was so great as to form a contrast. iMr. Beecher was a genius; Mr. Spurgeon, a man of immense talent. As a German says; "The imagination of talent reproduces the stated fact; the inspiration of genius makes it anew. The first disengages or repeats ; the second invents or creates." Beecher was almost destitute of verbal memory ; Spurgeon, a phenomenon of precision, quickness, and reten- tiveness tnerein. As an organizer, Beecher was without marked ability. Spurgeon lacked but little of having a "genius for government" and system. The one understood human nature in general, but was easily duped ; the other had an almost intuitive perception of character, of fitness or unfitness for a particular use. The great preacher of America was unpractical and dreamy; the Englishman had a sturdy common sense which never failed. Beecher was a man of moods, worked when he felt like it, and inclined to procrastinate ; Spurgeon was as industrious as a mechanic paid by the piece, and punctual to tho minute. The pastor of Plymouth Church preached, wrote, aud lectured on many themes not closely related ; the preacher of the Metropolitan Tabernacle was primarily a man of one book and one work. Thc former received immense sums for lecturing; the latter, after his early years, declined to lecture. Beech' er attached less importance to the letter of the Bible, accepting it in general; he con ceived his own ideas, giving to them two elements which mark genius, "novelty and grandeur," using the Scriptures as far ao i they would illustrate his concentions. All 1 of Spurgeon's sermons were drawn directly from the Bible ; hence, where Beecher was often vague, though splendid as the Milky Way, and, to the ordinary mind, when different sermons were compared, seemed somewhat contradictory, Mr. Spurgeon was positive. Though Universalists, Sweden- borgians, and Spiritualists, claimed Beecher, and Arminians and Calvinista quoted him against each other, none ever doubted as to what Spurgeon held, or accused him of self- contradiction. Mr. Beecher made radical changes in hia theology j Mr, Spurgeon none. lhe land should have been Introduced so I recently us the bOVOIltOOlllh century.

" The only hope of the future farmer will be in his brain," says Gen. Rusk. "The sharp competitions between sections and countries which will be induced by increased facilities for tranaportation will stir the agriculturist up to his best efforts. His chances for fortune-making will be great, but he will have to bo prepared to fight the battle of competition for them. He must be sufficiently well educated in science aa far as it is applicable to agriculture, and he must oe intelligent enough to study his surroundings and to apply his Knowledge to the conditions about him. He will be able to meet his fellow-citizens on an equal footing, and his brains will command from his class in the industry which ho represents, tho respect and consideration which he deserves, and ho will give other classes and other industries due respect in return. 'The farmer of the future will be a business-man, able net only to compel his soil to do its best in the matter of production, but to study the markets and know what will soil thc best and what will command tho highest price. Thia farmer will keep his accounts liko any other businessman, so that he may know exactly where his profits arc and where have boen his lossos. These aro strong qualifications but they are essential to tho farmer who would do his business on a broad plan and who would succeed, As to the question of his education, when you consider that he must have a knowledge of all the principles of aninial'and plant lifo, that he must understand tho constituent elements of soil The pathos of life shows itself in many ways. Sometimes it can be read in the pin* died features and sad lips, or in the eyes humid with disappointment. It is not seldom expressed in words, or if it reaches the gates of speech it is too late to makej itself heard. Dead faces tell the story often* est, and the mourner, reading it written thero, cries aloud : " Oh, if I had only known I But I never- thought of it," A woman lies dying who has had one grievance all her life. It is such a simple one that the telling of it would provoke a smile, yet to her it was an intolerable suf* fcring, mental as well as physical. But Bhe had never spoken of it to anyone, least o{ all to him who was the one to remedy it. They weie young when he bought a git- such as people rode in fifty years ago, ana it had no springs and very little back. In this they traveled long miles over bad roads, to church, to funerals and to christenings, At first he helped his little wife up into the high scat of the gig ; then she jumped up ; as the years went on, she. climbed. Sons and daughters came, and her hus* band bought a spring wagon still higher, to keep out of the mud, or the dust. Tha man never thought of its being a hardship for his wife to climber over the wheel into that farm vehicle. Her neighbors consid* ered her a fortun.te woman to be able to ride. When it became too hard and her strength gave out, he would call on the tall, strapping boys to " give mother a boost," and mother couldn't have told which was] hardest, the boost or the climb. But at last she was unable to get in with* ��� out a chair, and amid much good-natured,-, unfeeling raillery, mother was gotten up to her perch, where her feet touched nothing, and she could not lean back, and was m mortal terror of being jolted out, and no* body ever knew ! Now she lies dying in that darkened room from which she shall go forth to her last long rest, and she is talking wildly, delir* iously of all the things of her life, and as she talks her husband looks perplexed and says to the neighbor who is taking care of her; "Mother seems to be getting flighty." But soon she addresses him : "Don't put me up into the seat," she says wearily, "I'd rather go iu underneath than sit dangling up there. It's broken my back and worn ine out a-riden' in that oncomfort* able way. I'd rather have walked a thoua* and times, if I'd only bed the strength." " You never told me, mother, that tha wagon was hard to get into afore," said tha man in a troubled voice. "No, I didn't want to vex ye," said the poor little woman, "but I dew hope if they come for me with the chariot of Israel it will be easier to get into than our farm wagon. If it ain't, I believe I'd rather walk." It is not much of a story, but it is one of the hidden tragedies of a human heart, and it exemplifies wiiat I was talking about���tha pathos of life. Another case ia worthy of notice. A woman died recently whose husband waa known in his neighborhood as a good pro* vider. His wife had all that any reasonable woman in her walk of lifo could demand or expect; that is, she rccicved clothes and board for a long life of labor. Sometimes she wanted a little money to expend for herself���perhaps to purchase some of the useless things that a man never buys. But when she asked her husband for money, he sprung a series of answers upon hor that) effectually silence hcS "Don't I provide well for ye Jenny? What do ye want that I hain't given ye? You kcow I aiu't made of money. So he carried the purse and provided liberally, gave everything but a chance for his wife to feel independent; she was really less in the household than a servant, since ���the would have her wage. But when the wife died, and the tide of remorse that comes with death had set in, the husband remembered that the one thing she had wanted all her life was a little money to spend as she pleased, and then his heart re* lented. He went to his money box and took thence some of the shining silver coin it held and placed them tenderly in the dead, cold hand of his wife." There," he said, "she alius wanted t��r have some money of her own, and mebbe. she'll know that I've give it to her." .And it never entered into the sordid soul of the man that what he had done was ever* lastingly too late. In great calamities wc have thc sym* pathy of our kind to help us bear them. It ia thc nagging pain that goes with us and takes all thc sweetness out of life that we must bear alone. And because wc must not reveal it to tiie world, but keep it unshared, it becomes to us at last a demon of unrest. A man may wear a wooden arm and go through all his days with a smile, but there is not a moment day, or niglit, that it does not cause him pain and apprehension. When lie is alone the smile becomes pitiful, it is so full of self-sympathy. These light afflictions have not the dignity of misfortunes. They are the martyr* (loin of life without its crown.

APRIL 211, 181)2. We have just reoeived information tbnt there is already n trail from Nn- kua]*- Creek to Summit, about bnlf- wuy to the Sloonn, constructed by private enterprise, hucI tbnt the rest of tho distance iu not difficult for rond-making. Whatever the IIintii mnl persons interested in Nelson muy sny to tho contrary, the shortest unci easiest route to the Kuslo-Sloonn mining district is by way of Revel Btoke and the Nukusp Creek. If tt wngou road wero uiiiclc over the short distance of 22 miles from the creek to Slocuu Luke the tedious journey to Nelson and up the Slocuu River would be avoided und four or live days saved, besides the extra expense. Now is the time for the Government to uct. The rush bus commenced, unci overy day brings miners, pros - peotora und others into Rovelstoke bound for the mining country. To their disgust they Uud they have to go to Nelson and then take the back track of 70 or KO miles via the rough, mauntiiiuotu trail from tbnt towu to tho Sloean. This seems a senseless proceediiig in the fnce of the fact that by the construction of 22 miles of rond (half of wbieh is already used us a trail) a journey of considerably over 130 miles cuu be saved. If the Government bus tbe interest of this district ut heart it will not wait for tho estimuted appropriations to become duo, but commence the work at onee nnd debit the cost to the !jjil9,- 000 appropriated for public works in West Kootenay���or is tho whole of that $19,000 to bo expended in a lump sum for tho oeucfit of Nelson ? By the time tbe larger steamers are running the road can be ready for UBe, and when the public know of the facilities offered by this route there can be no doubt tbnt it will be taken advantage of to an enormous extent. Since the above was set in type the Supplementary Estimates to the 80th June have been published, from which we gal her tbnt West Kootenay is to receive $1,000 additional for roads, streets, bridges and wharves, Of this sum the Nukusp trail is accredited with $1,500 "additional." This wonl "additional" implies that 6oine portion of tho lump sum of $19,000 is intcuded to be spent on tin. I rail. lJrobnbly $1,500 is about the figure that murks the difference between a trail and a wagou rond. If this be so, then we may reasonably infer that the Government intend to construct a road. Thin is ns it should be, and just what we have beeu asking. Tho oue thiug we wish to press upon the authorities now is the necessity of the work being commenced at ONCE.

From the Kootenay Lake Country. We are constantly receiving glowing accounts of the Kootenay Lake oountry, and a communication just to hand from J. C. Rykert, Jr., Eq., H. M. 0., states that "onr oountry, ontslai of tbo Slocau aud many other camps, is looking well, especially the Grut Biver district, I tliiuk we are 'in it' for the season, We have many fine undeveloped claims which are well kuown.especially the 'Alice' and ' Tip Top,' where some work has beeu done, und which will justify tbe owners doing further development." Kootenay Lake rock has proved a great success at the Tucoma smelter, being very easy to handle, It is generally oonceded that Kaslo will be the oity of the Kootenay Lake country.
