FREE TEXT BOOKS AT SCHOOLS Victoria, B.C., April 28.—All arrangements have boen made by the provincial government for the distribution of free books among the pupils of the different public schools, of British Columbia.

Dr. Young minister of oducation, stated yesterday that orders had been placed with Gage & Co., Toronto, and Morang & Co., of tho snmo city, for the standurd readers and arithmetics no- cesSury. lt was the intention to supply all material used in tho lower grades iu reading, arithmetic and writing. It was pointed out by tha minister that in the introduction of the1 now system there was ', a considerable amount of detail work to bo done. However, everything, he thought_had beon attended, to. Forms hud been issued to the' school superintendents iu tho dim-rent cities and to thoso a churge of educational institutions o]sqwhero, asking for . Lnionmit ion which they would be required to supply. This .related, principally, to tho number of pupils in tho vnriqus localities, something the authorities would require for the guidance of thoso responsible for the distribution Asked whether it .was the government's intention to re-imburse those stationery establishments which had kopt books that would bo supplied free in stock, the minister replied the negntivo. He explained that this could scarcely be demanded as tbo merchants had had upwards of nine months notice. From what ho could gather it wus not their custom 'to keop a heavy lino on hand, buying from torni to term. Undor such Circumstances 'they should bo frco of those books, or nearly so, as tho pronouncement of tho government's policy in this regard had been made public in time to prevent thom making tho mistake of laying in a stock for the needs oi students for tho forthcoming year.

The yearly records of the Temperance hoapitai, Lord Alverstono stated, continued to prevent undoubtabl* evidence in favor of the disuse of alcohol a* a drug. The acope of th* hospital waa yearly enlarging and tbe progress made during the past year had been especially noteworthy.

Inglish, who had flve stitches taken lu his heart, died yesterday at Yon- kers, N.Y., after a battle against death lasting It) days and 7 hours. For the last two daya he haa been unconscious. When English was removed to toe hospital be weighed almost 160 pounds. When the body was weighed thiB morning it had wasted away, to 60 pounds, The stitches in the heart had not healed and setlcimia had set in. An autopsy showed that the statements of Doctors Dully and McCor- miok, who performed the operation of sewing up English's heart were correct in every detail. Tbe wound in the heart could plainly b* seen relieving all doubt as to the reason for the operation, Tho organs were all affected by the septic conditions which followed the operation. The knife wound severed the cartilage of the fourth rib and waa within sixteenth of an Inch of the Inner chamber of the heart. The wound bad closed after tbe operation. It was remarked by the phy.iclans at the autopay that lt was remark' able that ho should have lived ao long. Only live or six similar cases are on record'and the length of time the patients lived was from ten to eighteen hours.
