A—A lawyer ol ths greatest Influence In tho dominant party, tbat it is por< sible to obtain, la hired. He uses hie influence with his party, deludes tbe mass of the people by catch phraaee, forms political combinations and plots, subaidlzss the prees, sends deputations to parliament, etc., to obtain tbo prize, popularity called graft, that the company deBires at tbe least possible cost or conditions. Q— [las Mr. Bod Ml, K, C, any political history by which we can interpret hia position? A-Mr. Jliidft-ell. K, C, originally supported what was called the Laurier Government, But when this government refused the demands of tho British Pacific Promoters, Mr. Bodwell, K. C, changed his political allegiance. When the Semlio Government were considering tbe abrogation uf the V. V, & K., charter, it ia publicly charged by Mr. Martin that Mr. Bodwell sent a threatening letter to influence the action of the government. When Mr. Martin became premier Mr, Bodwell urged, as against Mr. Martin's policy, that tho 0. P.

The "Pally Telegraph" lias received from their correspondents ia the leading foreign capitals a number of telegrams reflecting the opinion current in in those cities with respect to the foul aspersions which have been cast upon the conor of the British army and the dignified and simple aseerlion of Lord Roberta that they are "absolutely without foundation." These messages tend fo show what need never have been doubted (remarks the''DjilyTelegraph'')—that such mon- strotn stories have not received the slightest credence anions; those who nre acquainted with England and ber people, and especially among thnso who know tl'" British olli.'er and private soldier. I«a Ntw York and Washington they are regarded as a slander not alone npon England but upon the entire Anglo-Saxon race. Ia Home the Italian military attaches who have shared the cainpslgns of the British army In Egypt and South Africa declare lhat such stor* les are unthinkable, whits in Vienna the Austrian Captain Von Ttiratnel, who has recently returned from en tflloial mission to South Aftica, has just publicly declared that tbe war hue been conducted In (be humenest mnnnerpossible on the BritiBh side, and that tbe exrm plsry conduct of Ihe troops deceives the fullest n cognition. Water Started Into the Mine on Monday Morning, After a thorough inspection of the bulkhead which has been built in tbe tunnel quarter of a mile from tbe en trance to No- 2 elope, Extension, and everything being found right, the water from the swamp above the opening of No, 2 elope was turned into the big flume on Monday morning, and began filling up the mine. It will be kept running night and day till tbe mine is filled. Tbe stopping In the tunnel wae completed Sunday at noon, after which Mr, J. Taggart, foreman of the work, examined it carefully. The stopping is thirty feet wide at the outside radius, and twelve feet high. It contains 34,- 400 feet of timber, will stand a pressure of 130 pounds to the square Inch, or 3,369 tons. The mines will contain, it is roughly estimated, about fifty million gallons of water, and with ordinary weather it will take two mouths for this quantity of water to run into the mine, and almost the same time for It to run out through the pipe in tbe stopping In the tunnel. j By this calculation it will be tbe end, of May at tbe soonest before No. 2 will be wholly cleared of water, but work will be Btarted In the upper levels long before tbat, and gradually Increase as tbo water falls.

As there is only one pit- head ln the Extensions at present tbe me of tbe word "all" seems to prove tbat the article was intended to deceive the general public, aa well as to work up trouble amongst the men. The Leader hss made tbe meet csrefnl enquiries at Extension and can assure tho public and ail interested that there is not even a shadow of truth in the statement made by the Herald. The only notices polled at the tunnel and No, 1 pithead were to the effect tbat, in Ibe one case, no men would be hired there, tbey mutt apply at the office; in the other notifying the men regarding eome technical alteration in tbe working ol tbe mine, but nothing at all to do with the engagement of tbe men, Somo pertont might be puttied to understand what a paper meant by pub* liehlng inch itnpid falsehoode, but there iino mystery about it to those who have watched Ihe Herald's course.

For one mm that li stimulatod to endeavor by re* peated failures, a score are crushed by them. When all is said, we have to look to success, steady quiet success, as th. greatest stimulant and the greatest factor in success. It it essential to a man who would be successful that he abould have self- teittem. This Is, we know, • quality which ii apt to ba looked upon with some degree ol auspicion. But tbat ia becaose It Is too olten applied to those who value themselves above thiir merits. And yet ol the two errors, tbat al underestimating one's capabilities is th. more disastrous. A man wbo would get on must be able to bold hii head up, and in order to bold bit head up he must have success. II bo hai tailed again and again—from no fault ol hit own, he m.y say, though tbe cause il perhaps not difficult to detect—he begin* to fear to look tbe world lull in tha face.

The January issue ot the Pacific Lumbar Trade Journal contains mnoh information concerning the limber and timber trad, of the Northwest that will bs interesting reading, not only to those directly engaged in that trade, but also to the general public.

Thil company eent five fir logs to the testing and experimental works of David Kirk- aldy and Son, ol London, England, to be subjected to tb. severest bending and thrusting tests, and lull data to be returned. Tho results show In detail tbat fir is in every respect satisfactory to those who have alwaye insisted tbat it was one of tbe best varietiea of wood. "The specimens given tho bending teat were 12x15 and 16 inches in dimensions, cut to a length of 18>i feet, with a distance of 12 leet between the support*, and the load applied at the center.

The timber, were bout to a deflection of five inches . ana removed'. Those tested to ascertain tbe retitt- ence to depression were 12x12 and 100 inches long, with the ends deed trn. in a lath.. Th. weights began at 40,000 lbs. with a depression of .027, and role steadily by 20,000 lbs. at a time to tbe enormons weight of 500,000 lbs., these piecei being subjected to this pressure and showing only a depression of ,288, and ol 560,000 lbs. of .267.

'?"• PRETTY KEl'TLE O' FISH. While Dr. McKechnie waa president of the Independent Lsbor Party of Nanaimo, he became a party lo a 'Meal' whereby he will make quarter of a million dollars. Dr. McKechnie, tbe representative of white labir, actually opposed tbe insertion of an anti-Chiuese clause in the Pulp Bill, for the reason that he waa afraid that the Dominion Govern ment would dJBailow that bill if such 1 clause were placed in It. This reiEoo and assertion Mr. Hawthornthwaite characterises as an"absurd falsehood" mi I a "ailly yarn." Had he known that the Djctor would make quarter uf a million dollars out of Ibis transaction, &e a reward for hia deliberate dmieptiuu uf the Labor party, Mr Hawthornthwaite would have blocked SjN the b'll. Hawthornthwaite denounces tbe aff.'ir as a 'Mlrty deal." There is not a doubt tbat It was, bo fur as Dr. McKechnib's connection with !'• is con* cerned, It was treacherous to betrsy the Labor party in tha way that he did. Here la another statement ot Mr. Hawihornthwaitb's that shews Dr. McKechnie in most unenviable colors. •When Mr. II .iw thorn th walte warned the Doctor that be intended to attack tbe D.jclur as president of the Labor party, Dr. M< Kichnie offered to resign and retire into private lite—with, of course, tbe cool.quarter million won by his perfidy and dishonor.

The Romish Church, however, teaches tbat there is no poseibility of our Belva- tlon, and while they have been doing this fur ages ihey complain ot our "In- suits." It is rather late iu the day. It Ib asserted that the divinity of Mary (Virgin bleated or unbleeee I, aay.iu please) is implied no morn In the worda ;'Motherof God" thau "Mother of my Lord,". Any Sibb.Uh School pupil will tell you that in tlie qiou'iim of K'iz beth'a words "Lord" refers to Christ. If 'Mother of God" nnd Mother of the L ir.l can be used in tcrnhangably ss the F 1 er mierts, why d > tbey not call M .rv the Mother of the Lord instead of Mother of God? Mary waa ihe Mother of Jesus arid to call her the Mother of God is only a trick to g.ln for Mary a sanctity she never had.

The pig should be kept growing continually, says Professor J. W. San- .born. It requires a certain amount of food for maintenance. If there are no growth and no gain, this maintenance food Is actual loss. About twenty-five to thirty years ago good bogs wore mnrkttpd usually at eighteen to twen Don'ts For Girls. Don't waste emotion. Life fa very short, and excessive feeling disturbs the brain, weakens the heart and ages the body. Don't be proud. Be self respecting. Let none use you as a stcpladder. Offer to assist when you can. Don't preach. Live your sermons. Be honest, virtuoys, obliging, merry and wise, but don't be Pharisaical. Don't judge men by their treatment or by their speech. Flattery Is a cheap and belittling thing, nnd many a shabby man has a noble soul, ssys tho Pittsburg Chronicle, ' Glove Friction on Jewels, "If you want your rings to last well," said a jeweler, "don't wear them under gloves. But It you decide that gloves aro a necessity, as probably you will, then send your rings twice a year to a jeweler to be overhauled," says Home Notes. The reason for this warning la tbo constant friction of the glove wears the tiny points that bold tbe stones ln place, and tho re- ■Sit *» that tbe stones fall out unless they are constantly looked after. You might sot detect a loose stone, but a jeweler would at once and thus might prevent your losing a valuable gem.

Walker in Christian Work The Dutch Lansnaae. The Dutch language is of a good old fashioned tongue. It Is not so difficult that English speaking people cannot without difficulty acquire it. In fact, some folk say, tt is more like unto English than it is to German. The Boers of South Africa use tbe Dutch language as it was spoken 200 years ago.

On one half put first a thin slice of bacon which has been broiled till dry and tender, next a slice of tho white meat of either turkey or chicken. Over one half of this place a circle cut from a ripe tomato and over the other half a tender leaf of lettuce. Cover these with a generous layer of mayonnaise and complete thla delicious "whole meal" sandwich with the remaining piece of toast, RoloHlnar the Cork. The trick of extracting a cork from a bottle without touching the cork le well worth knowing. Fill an ordinary bottle with water and cork It, not too tightly, so that the end of the cork juat touches the water. Then wrap a cloth tightly around the end of the bottle and, taking It In the right hand, hammer It smartly against the wall or any other Immovable object The water then acts as a solid body and shoote the cork from the bottle.
