The old adage "Union is Strength'' has assuredly been acted upon in recent years hy both Capital and Labor, In every civilized country vast combinations have been made and the products of mines, forests and waters are now bought up-nnd put on the market by a combination of trusts that represents fabulous wealth. Oire of the mightiest of these Trusts is the United Slntes Steel Corporation whose workmen to the number of 85.oco are'flow outon strike. The cause of the dispute is briefly this. At a meeting of Mr. J Pferpont Morgan and Pre*. Schwab on the one side representing the Steel Trust, arid Theodore J. S. Schaffer, representing the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers a scale of wages was settled between the two. But when the paper* were brought forward the Steel Corporation reused to sign for two non-union Mills, ur hf signing for them the Non-Union rntn would be compelled to join the Union. Schaffer says that the Non-Union men were kept out of work until they signed papers promising not to join the Union. Hence the strike. The Federation of Labor 'and the window glass Union have promised every jwjsible aid. The outcome of this struggle it is difficult, nay impossible, to predict. The Trust says that it will Hght to a finish. Schaffer declares that there will be no more conferences with the Trust until the latter asks for one. He regards this as a supreme test of Trades Unionism when opposed to Trusts. The influence ei both is stupendous and their acts are being watched with anxious interest by the Industrial world. M. R.

There is every reason to anticipate a substantial increase in the gold output in B.C. this year. The Cariboo deep-levels after several years of costly and extensive development, are about to make renurns to their shareholders, and large wash-upa may be looked for. The Ymir and Camp McKinley districts will give a better account of themselves. Atlin is expected to yield $1,000,000 and upward. From the Omenica placers and the beach-washings at Wreck Bay larger outputs are anticipated, in addition to whick the Boundary ores will yield their quota of gold, for although tht proportion ! 3ec"onfl p-r ton ii small a large i tonnage i* being hoisted. The B. C. Review. NEWS OF THE MINES _-T.01:t(3a3-_"_J"y. Mr. Juo. Williams, wbo spent tbe past year at the Ward mine, in the Horsefly country, gives a very idowini! account of the prospects of that section :ih an agricultural aiul mining district. British Columbia ie a province of hu.1i an immense area that tbe inhabitants of one section mav knew very little of the natural capacities of another. So »ay information concerning other sections ol the province ia of interest. The Horsefly country ia about 100 miles square, being capable of holding • large number ol nuttier*. It ia situated at an elevation oi 2,400 feet, 400 (eet lower than Clinton, Ita capacities aa an agricultural taction are wonderful ; cropi grow moat luxuriantly without irrigation. Blue-joint and timothy grow naturally to the height uf a man's head; hundreds ol tout war*cut while cutting a read, 18 miles long 'rom Hob. xon's quarta mill. Oats and barley always ripen; wheat also does very well. Vegetables also grow to an enormous site. Potatoes planted on the 25th of May weighed 1% pounds in a little more than two months. Some fully developed specimens tipped the scales at 5 lbs. All other vegetables do equally well. From these tans it is evident that the country described is a (ine locality for stock raising. With regard to the mining outlook, the Horsefly country ib well known on account of Hobson,s workings and the Ward mine. On Hobaon's leases a quart* mill is required, as tbe gravel, having become hardened or cemented by the action ot different solutions, requires the .iinio treatment as quartz. At the Ward mine, however, the grave! ia free, and is worked without belni; crushed. As the formation In the Horsefly proper is of a volcanic origin, the auriferous gravel quite plainly has been deposited there troai another section. Acting on this theory, th* Dukar Co. have occupied 25 hydraulic leases in ■ slate aad granite formation, at a point 80 miles up th* Horsefly Kiv*r. The prospect* obtained by ih*m, averaged 60 cents a yard. From th* above description, it will be seen that tbe Horsefly connlry, will, at no very distant date, take a front place among British Columbia's rich Brief Despatches. di- THE CANADIAN CENSUS.

How Ornament* I'or the Home Can ii_ Made if the Beelnner Iln» a Little Ingenuity ""il Patience—Coat of the lluby'a Hand. Few people realize tlie pleasure and Instruction that can lie gained from making plaster easts. It is inexpensive, aud the utensils required are found in every household. A cast of the baby's Chubby hand or foot or, In fact, a east of any kind Is not only a delight, but nn ornament. The great secret in making successful plaster easts lies in not getting excited. Care should be used wheu getting the plaster that It be plaster of paris nnd that It be bougbt from some shop where it is sure to lie fresh, as that which Is obtnlned from a drug store is apt to be stale and will uot set properly. A few quarts of plaster should be sufficient for a lirst attempt. A bucket ol' water, a tin basin, a tin spoon, some oil or soapsuds and, if possible, some common modeling clay and a bottle of Ink are all the materials required. A mold is lirst taken of the object, and when this is filled it gives the cast. There are two kinds of casts—those where only part of the object is showu, the other part resting ou a tile or plaque, anil those that show the whole obji ct or are in the "round." The hand is about as simple au object as can be found and is more interesting than most things. As tlie hand on the tile is the easiest, it would be well to start with tbat. Place a sheet of paper on n table and then grease the baud thoroughly with the oil or thick soapsuds to prevent the plaster from sticking to the skin when removing the mold. When i he hand i.s placed In the position wanted, lill the spaces underneath it. where it does not touch the table, with clay, or if clay cannot be obtained use putty. It is convenient to make a small wall of clay around the object to prevent the plaster from running, but it is not necessary. Put about a quart of cold water in the basin and pour the plaster into it, stir quietly and keep the spoon under water to avoid making bubbles. Use enough plaster to make it the consistency of batter. If n little salt is added or hot water instead of cold Is used, the plaster will harden or set more quickly. A small quantity of ink or any coloring matter will make It easier to distinguish the mold from thc cast aud will also make It more brittle or rotten and easier to separate the two. Pour the plaster over the hand, taking care that there nre no bubbles, until it is nbout half an inch thick. It •will require a few minutes for It to set and is ready to lift off when It cau be scratched with a knife. It is easier to turn the band and mold up and lift the hand out than to take the mold olT the hand. If any plaster has ruu under the lingers, cut it away with a dull knife. Should the hand not come out easily, Working the lingers separately will often loosen them. The mold should be allowed to dry a few hours and then be tilled with white plaster, the same consistency as was used for the mold. A wall of clay about an Inch high will have to be built around the edge of the mold, which when filled gives thc tile for the cast to rest on. Let the whole dry and then chip the mold away with a knife. The mold, being of a different color, can be readily distinguished from tho cast. In making the mold for a cast In the round, nfter the band has been oiled, elnk It to about half an Inch in a bed of plaster, leaving about half an inch for thickness. .Make the rim smooth and, when hardened, oil. Now cover the upper half with plaster. When set, this should knock apart easily and the hand be lifted out. Another way, but a more difficult one, after putting the hand half way In the plaster aud before this has dried, is to put n thin strong string around all the edges of the fingers, letting the ends come out nt the wrists. When tbe hand Is entirely covered with plaster and before it has hardened, pull the string out. which cuts it In two. The manner of filling both these kinds of molds Is the same. Oil and tie the two halves tightly together and fill with plaster, let harden and lift the molds Off. Only one cast can be made from molds like these. At shops where plaster casts are made and sold and a number of the same casts are wanted a gelatin mold Is made. Being elastic, it Is easily pulled off without harm to the cast and still retains Its shape and can be filled any number of times. The yellow or Ivory finish that Is given to many casts Is obtained by using white shellac, which can be had already mixed from a pnlntshop. By milling oil paint any desired color can be obtained. Rubbing witli a cloth gives a high polish. A bronze finish can be given by coating with a mixture of white wax dissolved In turpentine, to which bronze or green paint has been added. A line set of casts, which would Interest children and could be used In the schoolroom, could be easily made, such as fruit or vegetable forms, apples, bananas, potatoes and corn, or simple animal forms, such as frogs, fish, etc.; also models that one has made nnd wishes to preserve.—Good Housekeeping- An _.eeptlo«.

SIMPLE GEOGRAPHY. Why Not Teach It n Hallway Men Make Time Tablet? Slap geography in its natural state is the dry est subject the school boy encounters until he reaches trigonometry, says The Toronto Ulobe. It is better now than in the good old days, wheu its study meant the learning of a series of songs without music, setting forth the names of capes, rivers, counties und capitals. Itailroading nnd the kindergarten suggest expedients by which the study might be made al once simple and pleasant. The construction of a railway time table, which in the finished state is almost as complicated us trigonometry il self, is effected by means ni pieces of siring ami common brass pins. A sheet of paper tlie size of a blackboard is stretched along one side of a room. It is divided by horizontal und vertical lines Into a vast number of little oblongs. Each vertical line represents a minute, and each horizontal line u mile. In the left margin are printed the names of, the stations, each at its proper mile from the terminus. Along the top of ilie sheet ure written lhe hours of the day. To build a time table, say for lhe Toronto and Hamilton line, wilh twenty trains each way, would require forty pieces of string and more than a paper of pins. A train. we will suy, is to leave each end of the line at 8 a. m. ami make the run in fifty minutes, crossing midway and making no stops. Strings are stretched from the intersect ions of the vertical line marked VIII., and the horizontal lines opposiie Toronto and Hamilton, crossing half-way up the sheet, terminating al 1 lie opposite ends of the eight-fifty vertical line. If, there are stops to be made little jogs arc made in the lino of the string by pinning it vertically opposiie the station for the number of minutes tlie train lies there. The faster the train the more vertical the ignominious little piece of siring lhat absolutely controls its course. Why should nol geography be taught by means of outline maps, large or small, and materials as simple nnd inexpensive us those employed by great railways'.' Thu teacher could easily build up thi' map before the pupils' eyes, or they could do it themselves. "Rivers might be represent id by narrow ribbons fastened down by pins bearing on little paper banners the names of the towns Ihey pass. .Strings of different colors would answer for railway systems. Pasteboard tri- nngles would suggest capes; rough outlines of cork would make excellent mountain ranges; bits of gilt would servo for gold regions; characteristic leaves for forests, samples of grain for agricultural belts, bits of net for fishing grounds, typical faces for different races of men— hundreds of devices would occur to the teacher lo make the subject graphic, or if lhe suggestions came from the pupils so much tin' bettor, The possibilities of ihe pumpkin slightly flattened at tho poles and already divided by parallels or longitude, as nu experimental globe on which c.ori- tinents, oceans. cable and steamboat routes could be traced, or pasted on rainy Fridays, are almost too alluring. Capitalists employ sueh means as these when they desire to convey a knowledge of geography to members of Parliament. Why should nof teachers adopt the same plan in teaching boys and girls?

In the Lire of Mr. Erneet Seton-Thoinpson. Mr. Edmund B. Le Roy, inspector Canada Permanent & Western Canada Mortgage Corporation, related an interesting incident in the life of Mr. Ernest Seton-Thompson, the fnm- ous writer on animal life, a day or two ago. It appears that some years ago young Solon, as he was then called, spent his summer vacations iu the woods, where he studied tlie characteristics of animal life. This year he Was in the neighborhood of Cnbocnnk, where Mr. Lc Hoy was then keeping a store. One day a wild- looking, unkempt young man came into the store and purchased supplies. He said his name was Seton and that he was hunting for bird skins. When he hud been around the neighborhood about a month Mr. Le liny asked him one day where he lodged. "Oh," replied the eccentric young fellow, "1 go asleep wherever I happen to he when 1 am tired. I ,'iist roll myself up in my blanket." Mr. Le Roy remarked at the time to friends near that this young nmn would be heard from some day. Later in the summer young Scion walked into Mr. Le Roy's store and told him that he was dead broke and that lie wanted to go to Toronto. Mr. I_ Roy offered to loan him the amount ef his fare, but Seton said, "No, 1 will sell you my rubber blankot for $8." Mr. Le Hoy bought the blanket and it was such a gooil one that lie still has it in his possession. Lt^ter still, when Mr. Ernest Seton-Thompson became famous as the result of his work it struck Mr. Le Roy one day that, perhaps that young fellow Seton might be the now-famous nr- list and author. lie penned a. note to the author, sending it to his New York address, asking him if lie was not the man who had sold nim tlie rubber blanket. A few days i go Mr. Lo Hoy received the following reply from the brilliant author, who was then stopping at the Auditorium, i hieago: My dear sir,—Yes. 1 am the nan who sold you lhe rubber blanket in 1885. I nm yours very sincerely, Ernest Seton-Thomps in. The author's totem follows the signature — a bear's footprint. SABLi ISLAND- Graveyard of the Oeeull to He Mnde Green With Trees. The trees recently planted on Sable Island clf.isisted oi 81,600 in ell, and filled eighteen large cases. 'These trees were selected by llr. Saunders when in Europe last year, irom a large tree nursery in Normandy. Before making the selection ne visited the sea shores of Brittany, nnd carefully studied the results of tree planting there, which was I ogun sixty years ago on the drifting sands of lhe sea coast. The I'e s purchased for experimental test on Sable Island ^.eluded n largo number of those which have succeeded so well in France, to which were added a number of other sorts which from Canadian experience were thought to be likely to prove useful for this purpose. Of the l pcciincns chosen, 68,000 were , vergreous, consisting of pines, spruces and junipers, and the remaining 18,000 were made up of different hardy deciduous sorts. As soon as the forest trees were unpacked and healed in. sites v ere selected fir the planting. ..nd this work was begun, due of Hie sites chosen was apparently a pure sund partly covered with sand-binding grass. This was the top of a prominent cliff, where the trees Would be partly protected from the winds, and readily seen from many different points. At this place several thousand trees were plained. Three other sites for tree planting were selected near the house of the superintendent, the planting of all of which was completed before Dr. Saunders' party left. A large garden belonging to the cel ral station was partly filled with over 2.000 specimens, among which are included a number of .arieties of small fruits sent from the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa.

Tin. I'i'i.j; Visitation. Early in the thirties there enme also a visitation of frogs in Canada. The frogs came down wilh showers, falling from n clear sky. They descended iu thousands. But. this was not all. The continual raining, with tho blazing sun and decaying frogs gave us a Wesl India climate in Ihis Province. The air was poisoned with decaying matter, and their pestilence stalked through the land. Almost every home was visited by thc cholera, nud the victims wer» numbered by hundred*. A DEN Or RATTLERS- _ Snaka Htory From Niagara Falls, Ont.. Well Vouched For. George J. Howard, cashier of the Bank of Niagara, and Ethan Howard, his brother, both of Niagura Falls, Ontario, had an exciting experience on a recent Sunday, and one they will not forget in a hurry. They spent the day exploring Foster's Flats und the territory below that famous locality. They had with grent difficulty gone down the river from Poster's Flats, skirting the rough and wild edge of the river, and intending to climb a bank at a spot farther down. The walking was very hard, and progress slow. When they had gone a short distance from the Flats they ran into a den of rattlesnakes. 'The first they knew of their danger was the rattling of a large snake immediately in front of them. The men grabbed clubs and despatched the reptile, but hardly was this one killed when others were seen in the neighborhood. Seven snakes in all were seen, and of these four were klTled by tlie Howards, the body of one and the rattles of others being taken home as evidence of the fact that rattlesnakes slill exist on the .Niagara frontier. Almost anything could live in the very wild region below Foster's Plats, or on lhe Pints themselves. It is by far the oldest and most unknown ground within hundreds of miles. Reports of rattlers still living there come now and then from travelers, but. no story in years, vouched for by people of well-known reputation, ii^ regard to these snakes, has been heard. They report that they were very much surprised to lind the snakes, and that there are undoubtedly mnny more in the vicinity. They consider it unsafe for a man to panetratc to the mysteries of the gorge beyond the Flats without thick leggings on. The snakes killed were rather large, three of them being over three feet in length, and the fourth being somewhat smaller. They had no weapons, save those grabbed on the spot, otherwise they would have got the seven. Nine rnt- tls were found in one snake, and Hi. se, with tlie skin of lhe biggest snake and ■ rattles, form an interesting reminiscence of an exciting Sunday morning encounter within a mile of Niugara Fulls.

Sam Derrocbers Cured of Diabetes in 18'JS—Had It For Over Five Years—His Recent Letter Proves That His Cure Still Holds Good. Quebec, July 29.—(Special)—Sam Derrochers, of Iho Fortress City was cured of Diabetes by Dodd's Kidney Pills in 1898. His case is well known here, it having been published in the papers at the time, and a great deal of attention was drawn to Dodd's Kidney I'iils on its account. Diabetes, however, is known to bo au incurable disease, and many of Hie more sceptical of Quebec citizens expressed doubt as to the permanency of the euro. These doubts may now be set at rest. Mr. Derrochers himself attests that in three yenrs ho has had no sign of Diabetes' return. On .May 118, 185)8, Mr. Sam Derrochers published the following letter in the Quebec papers : "I have been a victim to Diabetes for over live years, with terrible pains around my kidneys. Hy feet were always o\ild, and my thirst could not be quenched, no matter what 1 drank. 1 tried remedy after remedy but ret reived no help. I purchased ono box of Dodd's Kidney Pills and found Immediate relief. 1 have now finished live boxes, and can say 1 am perfectly cured." Now to clear away all possible doubt that Air. Derrochers was not (uriti, to show beyond question that Dodd's Kidney Pills did not merely relieve him for the time, but actually cured him of Diabetes, and cured him to stay cured, wo publish his letter oi April -lih, 1801. "Dear Sirs.—My cure o' Diabetes by Dodd's Kidney Pills has been permanent. I have not been troubled with a sign of Diabetes since my cure three years ago." Dodd's Kidney Pills cure all diseases of the Kidneys and tbe troubles arising from weak action of thc Kidneys. They are used throughout the world. AN EXPEDIENT.

Wltb It He Killed Sixteen Men-The Unel Wltb Norrls U liisht. James Bowie, famous by reason of the worlil renowned kuifu railed by his name, was born in Burke county, Ga., in 1700. In 1 sii_ ins father emigrated to Louisiana. That country mu then still umler French domination. Then' had been large tracts of land granted by lhe French crown in the territory named for Louis XIV, and one of theBe, iu the parish of Catahoula, was acquired by the elder Bowie. He wns a man of substance, owning nearly 100 slaves. lie Bonn had his estate opened out and was growing superb crops of cotton and corn, His sou James he sent first to n fatuous private school nt .Natchez. Miss., ami afterward to the Jesuit college, then loaned in New Oilcans. James Bowie iu 1S27 wns challenged to a dud with Nona's Wright. The pocket pistols of that day were uncertain. It was lung before the percussion cup had been lu'ought into common use, and the flintlock arm was the only firearm known. It was liable to miss lire just when it Otlght not to. Bowie determined to rely upon a knife he had caused to be made foi just such h contingency. lie Lad takm n 14 inch file, such ns wns then used lo shnrpen crosscut saws and the Upright saws used for turning out planks from logs. He had the file marks carefully ground off the file and the smooth piece of steel ■skillfully reduced by the grindstone until it was about the thickness and weight he desired. Then he took it to a Spaniard in New Orleans known as "Pedro, the skilled cutler." a man who had learned his art in Toledo, wh'-le Ihe finest sword blades ia all Spain were forged. He tempered and finished the knife, fitted it with a crosipiece and halt. When it was done. James Bowie had n weapon "fit tu light for n man's life wit!;.'' as lie snid to Governor Wells. It was beautifully balanced, and the nrtist hnd hollow ground it like ii razor, wiili n double edge for three or four inches from the point. Tlie knife wns fitted with a woolen scabbard, covered with leather, and was sharp enough to shave the hair ofi" the back of one's hand. This was the original bowie knife, though it was somewhat modified subsequently in shape. Natchez island, where tlie light was tn be, was midway between the Louisiana aad Mississippi shores of the great Father of Waters. Therefore it was n favorite meeting place for gentlemen who had to adjust affairs that might have n fatal ending, as the authorities of neither state could interfere. ll was understood that each of lhe principals should have hut one friend. and certainly not more than two. on the ground. But Mr. Wright bad five or six present. The fight began with pistols. One of Bowie's missed fire, while both of Wright's took effect upon his antagonist. Thinking he had Bowie at bis mercy, Nona's Wright sprang upon him. In a moment Bowie had drawn his deadly knife, and. though two or three of Wrights friends wero shooting nt him. nnd hitting him, too. Bowie made one nwful slash at Wright's neck. The keen sieel hit into tlie very ueckbone. The blood shot out over Bowie, nnd Norris Wright was dead before he touched the ground. Seriously wounded himself, it was for some time a very doubtful question whether or not he would ever get well. But youth, n temperate life and nn excellent constitution tinally brought him around, and in a year from that time he killed General Crain with the same knife be bad used in his lirst encounter. "The knife doesn't miss lire," he said to nn intimate friend, Mr. Bynum of the parish of Itnpides. "The pistol dqes." James Bowie was engaged In the purchase and contest of claims for areat tracts of land that bad been grants made b.v the French crown. When Louisiana was ceded to the United States and finally became a state, there was a good deal of trouble on ibis account over some of the titles to land along the Red river and its tributaries. A man often had to fight for his plantation, as frequently he would not give it up to somebody with an old French or Spanish grant. It wns in these contests that .lames Bowie did the most of his killing. lie had If! lives on liis" hands from the use of that one knife. After much consideration he had made a knife that has been the model and pattern for all the real bowie knives that ever had the sanction of their originator. In ISM") Colonel B .wie sold his Louisiana property nnd went to Texas. The Lone Star Slate was in the throes of a bloody revolution. The gallant resistance of the Texans so exasperated General Santa Anna, who was chief in command of the Mexican forces, that he swore he would take no more prisoners. When Bowie arrived in Texas, he was ai once nude a colonel of riflemen iu the army of Ti vas. In January, 1S.10. Colonel Bowie was ordered to Sun Antonio de Bexar to as si-i In holding that place against Santa Anna's coming forces. The siege ran nloug iinlil March, when San Antonio. trusting in tbe pledged word of honor of Santa Anna, wilh a starved out garrison, surrendered, A general massacre took place.

Colonel Bowie wns bad ly wounded three times and was In a n of the main work of the place culled the Alamo. He opposed the sunelider as long as was possible. lie was lying on his bed when he heard the triumphant Mexicans coming in. Ii was the lirst hint he had had of the snr render. He knew his life wns ended, lie could, however, move about a little. The instant the Mexicans came Into the room ihey began shooting at him. He grasped ills knife and leaped among them like nn enraged tiger. And when the Bring ended six of his enemies had crossed tbe Styx with .lames Bowie and gone with him to the shades.

Copious streams of water soon drowned the blaze and ruined the lower floor, and the department left. Still she rummaged. Her husband came, called by the phone girl. He saw her there. "Why, my dear girl," he said, "why didn't you use the band grenades and stop the fire as soon as it started? Then the whole lower part of the house wouldn't have been soaked."
