Guy Lowenberg. Creaton has many records of which she own he proud. The way she treats her dogs is one however, of which she may justly be aBhamed. From first to last the number of dogs that have been poisoned in' Oreston is quite large, and in most eases it was done v*. ith malicious snd deliberate .intent. There ate no doubt a number of ours around the tovvny^wftibb; havS^ tfeither^o^pner nor home, and are a public nuisance. Permit me to point out thut there 'is provision made by law for the destruction ot these, bnt there is no law, civil or moral that will justify the indiscriminate poisoning of " Man's best friend/' Iu the last 12 months I have been unfortunate enough to havOwo dogs poisoned. In regard to the last, the spaniel ������������������ Bpawnie," the editor ot the Echo was &nd enough to suggest last week, that (he dog jhad picked up poison laid down by a rancher for the destruction of gophers. E[owever that may be, may I point out for the protection of the public, that there are certain regulations governing the purohase and laying down of poison, that the law says shall be observed. AL persons purchasing poison shall register their names and addresses, and the purpose for which ihe poison is required, at. the place of purchase,' and auy person -who shall place any poison outside a building or outbuilding or on any land, for any purpose whatever, shall give notice to nllparsoUBorfatnilio < residing within tvvomileBO^^ be troubled with dyspepsia, by posMng notioos in fivo of the most when you cftn gefc whoie wheat broad at publio-plaooa, within two mileB of where ' ti10 oity Bakery. This little dog was perfectly harmless a pet with its owner*, and its untimely death at the hand of - some" local poison artist, is an occurrance that not lr only the petty criminal perpetrating the shameful act, but the whole Creston District, should be anything but proud of.,. For the information ot the public who may be ignorant of the law, we stai������, that-there is a Provincial statute which deals with the setting out of poisons. V Anv person setting out poison, must give notice pf the same, by posting the fact, in several conspicuous places iri the diatrict; au omission to do this ronders the offender liable-Ranch ers will" do ������������������ well'. to bear this fact iu mind. Therefore if this little pet do������ Nyas.poisbned either iutentionally or un-intentionally, the person who caused its death is liable, and It is hoped that the local police will be able to fix the blame on the proper party, and make such an example as will avoid a repetition of such dastardly crimes. The dog poisoner, aud the professional chicken thief, at Creston, a������*e in a distinot class by themselves, and it is high time that the searchlight of the law, was turned on this ring of disreputable degenerates. If a person have a legitimate complaint 11 gainst a dog, let him go liko a man to the owner or to the police, not take the law inco his own hands to strike blindly nnd underhaud, at the pets of every dog fancier and animal lover in our distriot.

Kootenay Soils and Culti- A vation G ntlc-msn,-! have been talking* and studying- this subject for ten years, and I would ask you to take yourself back to your school and high school days, and to imagine that you are about to have'Va. .'school lecture on ���������" S oils,'' and you, will kindly speak right out if you do not understand anything. What is Sort- This is not such a sirhple question to answer as might appear at first glance, it is A a : complicated altair, let us see-, exactly what-is soil. We have in nature three kingdoms, soiA consists of A rock or mineral, animal remains and plant remains, no soil is a true soil unless it has those in it. The first class i.e., mineral matter, we call inorganici The mineral constituents of the soil, or the inorganic, consist of sand, silt, and clay, those are the chief classes in that inorganic material, and the only difference between sand, silt, and clay, is a difference in size or in fineness. Mineral soils are; clay soils that is composed very much the same as clay soils, only one. is finer than the other. You can ask questions if you are skeptical, but I am going to illustrate the difference between sand and clay soil. Take a, centimeter, say a little tin box va quarter of aninch square- on the inside, you "would get in that} space possibly four or five feet of sand, if the grains were placed end to end. But .1 havo in my laboratory a clay soil so fine, that if & piece the same size were disintegrated and the particles laid end to end* it would reach from New York to San Francisco. In clay soil you cannot see the in- d iv'idual p articles with the naked eye.. You have very little real clay soil here, but a good deal oi silt, which approximates to the clay size, your soil here is silt, with sand and some clay. In these soils we have ��������� what the plant feeds upon, sand sill and clay. The plant devours these particles of soil, much the same as you eat food. Away back five hundred years ago there lived art old Bne-lish gentleman, who discovered that the finer he cultivated his soil, the finer it became, and that the finer his soil, the more cultivation he gave, and the better crops ho obtained, and ho rea- Aeroplane Races Every Day ������������������i MAMMOTH NIGKT SPESTACLJS 'Pioneer Days In tlie** PsIoims**. $120,009 Will Be Spent on This Ezhi- 1\ '������ REDUCED RAILWAY iL'L.TUr'^���������'1 Greatly Increased Prizes Many New Classes.

Some of the salts that the plant lives upon woulcU be dissolved in the soils as follows : Sand equals lime, silt equals potash, clay equals phosphate, we have thus, those three which come from tlje inorganic or mineral kingdom^ sand contains lime, potash and phosphate, silt ditto and clay ditto. Now we will take the other kingdom to which the soils belong, namely, the inorganic, i.e;, the remains of plants and animals. v A..M'\ The organic contains only one, namely, humos,, and from huihos we have the .salt which is dissolved in water and which the plant eats, namely, nitrb- ren. X" .���������'������������������������������������������������������������������������- These are the four chief salts upon which the plant lives, salts of lime, potash, phosphate, from the inorganic, _ and trom the organic we have nitrogen. In order to have a complete menu for the plant to live upon, we hnvo to have both of ;hese materials, organic and inorganic. There is also another element we must have, name-, 'y water. In addition to all these we have to havo labor, classified as "Man." From a rough observation, noarly all soils aro supplied with lime, potash, phosphate, nitrogen and water, and if wo do A not get good crops, the questionable part of the menu is "Man," or the cultivation.

And he added: "And I opened that door only wben you and Sainclair knocked upon it. 1 swear it" And in saying this, as later events proved, tbe man spoke tbe truth. Soaietabille said: "It is well. Darzac. yon have closed the circle. Tbe apartment in tbe square tower is now closed as firmly as was the yellow room, wbicb was like a strong box. or as the 'inexplicable gallery.'"

But the young woman turned scornfully. "M.

But I consider tbat it would be wroug for M. Darzac to make any attempt to couceal an act wb.'cb is an houor to himself. It would be better to iuform the authorities.

And she addressed herself directly to M. and Mme. Darzac. But both of tbe latter were still under the spell of surprise wbicb Rouletabille had caused them by his remarks, wbo that very morning in my presence had promised to be silent and bad sworn us all to silence. M. Ranee repeated nervously: "Why should we conceal anything? "Wby should we? We must tell everything." All at once the reporter seemed to take a sudden resolution. He leaned "If my uncle has not returned within twenty-four hours I shall lodge a complaint in the hands of the police, monsieur."

"After having read ibis." he went on.

The biting humor of the work * of that most original of caricaturists, Mr. Max Beerbohm. who by the way, is..a half-brother of Sir Herbert Tree, has- led to him being thus termed. He is rarely unkind, howeverytmdithe-manner in which he exaggerates the peculiarities of his subjects causes the latter endless merriment. Mr. Beerbohm is a wonderfully rapid worker, and some of his best pictures have been completed in a few minutes. He never draws from life, but executes his caricatures entirely from memory. In private life "Max" is one of the most modest and unassuming of men. and exceedingly popular amongst his friends, who regard him as the best- dressed artist in London. They have ''scarcely forgiven* him, however, for getting married in such a hurry last year. They regarded him as the "incorrigible bachelor," but "Max,' with characteristic originality, decided to get maTried in a hurry before his friends got to hear the news. And within forty-eight hours of his decision he was married to the actress, Mis9 Florence Kahu, and ready to start on his honeymoon. . It is all to the general good if all. who' have talents should "enjoy freedom to exercise them. Certainly, society women in England have not been backward in exercising their, newly- won privileges. They have made many noteworthy contributions to literature, and in no field have these been more striking than in the sphere of poetry and the drama. Among the playwrights Mrs. Alfred Lyttelton take a high place. She has lately written a hew work, a little Greek comedy entitled "Aspasia's Statue," which was produced recently at the little Boudoir Theatre in Kensington, in aid of the Prince Francis of Teck Memorial Fund and the endowment of the Middlesex Hospital. Mrs. Lyttelton's most noteworthy work was a play called "Warp and Woof." Like Hood's great poem, "The Song of the Shirt.*' it was an attempt to bring home to the thoughtless public the cruel way in which young London dressmakers are overcrowded in the height of the season by. the careless manner in Sir Hiram, Hudson and Hiram P. Are Remarkable Inventors. Those who*believe that there is virtue in the "hereditary pri-iciple" may point in triumph to the /achievements )f the three famous inventors named Maxim, who are all near relations, Sir Hiram" Stevens being father: of Hiram Percy, and brother of Hudson. Many suppose when they hear of Maxim guns that all are the invention of 5ne man, but there are no less~ than three of the name, who, without collaboration and working independently, have devisedyvaribus death-dealing machines or preparations.. Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim," who waa born 71 years ago at Sagerville, Maine, of Puritan parents, has how his home in England, having become a British subject on account of alleged unfair treatment of his inventions by the United States Government. In early life he showed great mechanical ingenuity with a jackknife and a ball of twine. He had but a .common school education, and- obtained his scientific knowledge by studying and attending lectures during the four years he spent as an apprentice to a coach- biiilder, and afterwards as a machinist in his uncle's shop, and foreman in other shops. His first invention was an automatic mouse-trap, then followed engineering devices and automatic gas engines. ' In 1878 he invented an incandescent electric lamp that would burn for a hundred hours. He made his debut in Europe by exhibiting at the Paris Exhibition of 1831 the first electrical current regulator ever invented for reducing the atmosphere, toythe utility of the electric lamp. Paris .was delighted and charmed, and Maxim was made a Chevalier of the'Legion of Honor. Two years later he brought out his automatic gun. JVixA Maxim's maxim being "Kill quickly and kill largely." In this invention the Tecoil was utilized to reload and fire the gun, at the rate of 770 shots a minuteA He also invented the gun known as the "Pompom," and in recent years he has devoted much time to aerial navigation. He declared last year that the Wright Brothers were "back numbers" and that everything in the Wright machine was copied from his. Two weeks ago he resigned his position as a director of Vickers, Sons & Maxim, with the object, as he expressed it, of "returning to his first love���������living ma- cnines."

There cannot be many men in the diplomatic ranks so tall as Sir Claude Macdonald, who is retiring from the post of British Ambassador at Tokio. Sir Claude stands six feet three inches in his stockings, and the fact that he was a soldier before he became a diplomat makes his career particularly striking. When he served through the Egyptian Campaign against Arabi and t,ne subsequent Sua- l������n Expedition no one dreamed that the brevet-major of that day would blossom into an Ambassador.* Sir Claude's service's'in-the Niger Terri. tories attracted the attention of those at the top; and Lord Salisbury's* somewhat daring choice of him for Peking in 1������96 was more than justified by his command of the Legation during the siege.

As her writings suggest, Mrs. Lyttelton is deeply interested in. social and political questions, but she finds time to paint as well as to write. Another well-known society woman who has ventured with some success into the attractive field of drama is Mrs. George Cornwallis-West, still more familiarly remembered by many people as Lady Randolph Churchill. In literature she first made her name' as the founder and editor of tho Anglo-Saxon Review; afterwards her Eleasant and chatty reminiscences of er many interesting experiences, political and other, were published, and made much talk. In the following year she wrote a play entitled, "His Borrowed Plumes," which was produced for a few performances at a West end theaire. II ii diu not have a long run, it contained much that was clever and amusing. Lady Gregory haa the proud distinction of being not only a successful playwright, but the director of a successful theatre. She is the youngest daughter of the. late Dudley Per?se, D.L., of Roxborough, and became the second wife of the Right Hon. Sir William Gregory, at one time Governor of Ceylon. After his death in 1892 she devoted herself to the ttudy of Irish literature and drama. She joined Mr. Yeats in starting the National Theatre in Dub- lin in 1899. This has been successfully carried on to tho present time, and encouraged, nnd, indeed, brought about tho formation of a speclul school of Irish writers and actors. ' Several women of note have cherished dreamfe of fume us poets; and in more than ono case have written work which enn boast of the true poetic ftrc. The namo of Lady Margaret Sackville will bo at once remembered by all lovers of tho muse. The "flymn to Dionysus'' is probably tho best known of her wrijiingo; but she has published two or throo volumes of vorfie altogether. Tho Coun- Jons of Cromartio is another graceful writer. She, it may bo mentioned, holds tho title as peeress in her own right. By a curioiiB coincidence, tho honor was originally crontod in favor of u woman, tho first holdor being Anne, only child of John Hay Mac- Iccnxio, who was created on hor hiar- rlngo with tho Duko of Sutherland in 1840, Countess of Cromartle.

There is very little doubt that an era of domesticity is likely to set in among the higher ranks of English society, and tne fact that Queen Mary has chosen for her Maids of Honor girls who are well versed ih all the domestic arts, music, needlework of every description, two of them being real experts in fine stitching, as well as in painting and drawing, will have its due effect. The fact that should any of these girls marry���������a probability . which must, be anticipated-���������the vacancy must be filled by one equally cultured in these special arts will tend to make parents of likely aspirant^ to such a post of honor see to it that their girls are suitably trained.

Adam Beck, "Minister of Power" in Ontario's Cabinet, who has been the greatest figure in the Hydro- Electric power movement in Ontario, had an amusing experience not long ago concerning names. Noticing an interesting colored boy on tbo street, he stopped to talk to the boy and his parents. "What's the boy's nameP" ho asked. "Hydro," answered a proud parent. "HydroP" echoed Mr. Bock. "Hasn't he any other name?" "Yes," answered the father.* "Wo call bim 'Hydro* for short. His real namo is Adam Beck Johnston."���������-The Canadian Courier.

Who :via-' In Charge, Is a Noted Manager. There is no better-equipped racing; stable in the world than that which) shelters the royal horses at' Egerton House, Newmarket. The trainer ; of horses in real life is very different from the straw-chewing, bucolic, and often bibulous individual he is usuial- A; ly portrayed to be in fiction. ; Mr, Richard Marsh, for instance, who rules at Egerton House, is a dapper man of middle height,. : with a firm jaw, clean-shayeh face, arid keen eyes. ,;To meet him casually in the fctreet one would take him for a pros-:. perous lawyer or merchant, rather than one soy closely .identified witb the turf.'A-' AyA'Ay A Egerton House stands in one of-the pleasantest parts of Newmarket, V; within easy reach of the training grounds. The house itself is a hand- A some square building with half-tim-X bered gables. A large and beautifully kept garden surrounds it and there is a spacious paddock in front. Ih" this paddock suchA giants, of the turf ��������� as Persimmon and Diamond Jubilee have roamed at will, and it may be ��������� that in the low rangeA,of stables just | to be discerned at the back of the house there is another horse that will carry the royal colors* as prominently. V"A;y ��������� At the present time the, -.King ha-������ twenty-threeV horses being A ytraineclA he.'e, of which ten are tworyear-olds- The majority of these young horses were bred at ..the Royal -Stud Farm at ' Sandringham.: The; stables are beau- - tifully kept, and; are quite, models' of their kind. Needless to say, every-*7; thing, about them is spotlessly;7;clearir -as it needs to be, seeing that .the probable value of V"the whole of thev horses under Mr. Marsh's care is not far short of a quarter of, a .million sterling, or a million arid "a" quarter in Canadian currency.. Each horse has it own loose-box, which is tiled round in artistic fashion, with plenty ���������of clean straw upon the floor and the- metal fittings polished until they;; shine like so much crystal. The name cf the occupant of the stall is neatly placed over its manger. - The stables form a quadrangle round a yard, and it is a very pretty; sight to stand in the centre of thte upon a spring morning andywatcbA the long string of horses, each,beautifully groomed and with, its skiu shining like satin, being led;out t<i������A exercise.--. -yyyy '.Yy: Mr. Marsh has to" be ^ astir, every A morning at an hour that'-seems perfectly ..preposterous; to a A townsman5, while the ,- night is usually:, far Aadf vanced before he has finished.- Hi������ first task isy to visit the horses an<l see that all is going well with them.A He can tell almost at a glance if anything is wrong with r any of his charges, and can usually decide precisely what is the matter with themA, arid how best they may be cured. This visit to the stables is rather a lengthy proceeding, since it, is necessary to halt for a few momenta at each box arid give directions to> the head lad as to the feeding, exercise, etc., of the different; animals, while those horses who are : to take part in races in different parts of the- country on the following day have to- be properly sheeted, up and &ent off to the railway station, each under the- charge of a lad who. wi'.l not allow the animal out of his sight until he returns Nto Egerton House/Before this tour is completed the veterinary surgeon has probably ' arrived upon one.of his perioiiic inspections, and thi's necessitates^another visit to the' horses to see that they; are, quite- sound and that there are no 'symptoms of colds or other illnesses in the- stud. .. Mr. Marsh is then free to return to his room and there, deal with the large number of letters that demand > atteption day by day. He trains for half a dosen or so other owners in addition to the King, and he has to consider carefully each of their de- sircb and instructions and to deter- , mine how bw������t thesie'muy be carried into effect.

Empire Day has practically taken ihe place of Queen Victoria's birthday ;hroughout the Empire, and May 24th las come to be a sort of imperial hcii- lay. Just how this occurred is wortn :he telling. There is no doubt that .he original suggestion came from Mrs. Clementine Fessenden, a Hamilton woman of more than ordinary ability and outlook, and to her must be given full credit for having initiated one of the most important patriotic movements of recent times. In the month of June, in the year 1896. the Wentworth Historical Society met in Hamilton and passed a resolution of condolence with Mrs. Fessenden on''the loss of her husband. In replying to this resolution iri person, Mrs; Fessenden expressed the, hope that the patriotic spirit of the grandfather would descend upon the six-year-old grandchild who accompanied her. The members of the society," were impressed with this reriiark and at once made the child an honorary member of the society. The child herself was greatly pleased arid aroused by this event and intensely interested in ^he badge and maple leaf with which she was decorated. And it was. the child's delight and interest which suggested to Mrs. Fessenden that other children might be similarly affected by similar ceremony. In this thought lay the origin of Empire Day. The little girl has since passed away, but her memory is fragrant in the annual celebration\ iri the schools' of many countries. Shortly, after this we find Mrs. Fes-, senden discussing the matter with people who were interested iri education and suggesting that patriotism might be cultivated by simple ceremonies .among the children. She also wrote letters to the newspapers and one of these appeared in The Montreal Star of August 24. of the following year. In November she wrote the Minister of Education, foi* Ontario with regard to having a day set apart for. flag exercises. The Minister suggested that she take up the matter with the Hamilton Board of Trustees and so* call public attention, to the move- ment. This suggestion was carried out; and in,January, 189S, it was decided by this body "that the board set apart one afternoon in the year for the purpose of inculcating patriotic ; sentiment." Mrs. Fessenden followed this up by getting the boards in Dundas and London to approve of theiidea. y-A.yy In August of that year the Minister, of Education wrote a;letter to be. read at the meeting of the Dominion Educational Association iri- 'Halifax.: y The Hon. Mr. Ross, now Senator Ross, who was then head of Athe Edu~; cation Department, indicated his preference for the name "Empire Day," and suggested that the 24th of May be the day selected. These suggestion?, after full uiscussion, were approved by the association. Senator: Ross is therefore entitled to share with Mrs. Fessenden the lionor of having'creat-: ;ed. this great festival. .Vy yA . ;' . Sbbn the idea attracted attention in Great Britain,; where Queen Victoria's birthday had riot hitherto been a;holi-V day> arid .where there was no particular' patriotic day celebrated byA the schools.; ":'.-���������'- -; 'V77It: is estimated that last year no fewer than thirteen arid a half million children joined in the' celebration of Empire Day.

Canadian Nationality, President Falconer, of !the, Univora- ity' of Toronto, made a rather striking remark in a recent address to the Woman's Canadian Club, of Winnipeg. "Canadian individuality aa such, sold he, "and the idea of a Canadian nation, arc conceptions of a recent date. Suddenly Canada and the world have awakened to the conviction that Canada is a nation.. Unto the won- dors of tho world has boon added a now pernio that Is destined to forgo a new link ������in tho world's history." In analysing Canudu'n nationhood the speaker discovered to liis . audience that its suddenness of growth was raoro apparent thun real. "Forces wero at work generations ago," he said, "that mado possible this that has como to pass, lt is as though a cruet had beeu formed over tired.

The first steps in the arrangements for the celebration of Labor Day ton at Creston, were taken on Tuesday even ing, and as the Celebration will be one of the most impor* tant matters before the Public of the Creston District during the comiag weeks, a few words on the subject will be well timed. Creston* s Labor Day Celebrations in the past have, on the whole, been very successful affairs, a pleasure to out visitors, a practical advertisement, and a credit to the town and district. Unfortunately tor Creston, the success ol these celebrations, on each occasion, has been marred by the selfish policy of short-sighted individuals, who have not scrupled to twist what should have been a day of good fellowship and hospitality, into a "Hold up " scheme, for gain, thus nuiltfying the unselfish efforts of the genera) body of citizens who worked to make the celebration a success. The first individual to give the District a black eye, by this coarse profit mongering on the citizens day, was Mr. T. J. Atherton, who on Labor Day 1909, after having been generously granted the privilege of making a reasonabh profit by running a refreshment booth on the grounds, enriched his personal pocket at the expense of the good repute of the valley, by endeavoring to monopolise ihe water on the grounds, and charging Hred hot women and little children, a price per cup for a drink of water. To make Creston Labor Day Celebration a success, all suoh coarse work as we have described, must be cut oui the Celebration must be conducted on generous lines, and with the view to the best interests of all. A letter purporting to have been written by the Sec retary of the Nelson Typographical Union, referring to the use of the Union Label, appeared in the last issue of the "Echo." . If this letter was ever written by any Officer of the Nelson Union, it was dated long before the Echo and staff, were disowned by the Union. On the evening of June 20th last, in the Editorial rooms of the Nelson Daily News, both the President and Secretary ot the Nelson Union, emphatically disowned the Echo, stated that a member of their staff had been suspended for non-payment of dues, that the " Echo had never possessed a union label, and was therefore not a union shop. The " Echo " have been advertising themselves as a Union Shop, but the fact is that as we have shown they hive never carried the label, and have been disowned by the union. If the echo is a union paper, why does it not carry the union label, and why is it disowned by the union. The statements made in our Editorial of two weeks ago re the poor turn out at the recent school meeting, having heen criticised, we mention that the representative of this paper was in the Mercantile Hall on time, that for a period of some 20 minutes he sat with School Trustee J Compton, and went out to help gather up a quoroni. The Editor, is not indebted to anyone, we pay our debts which is more than our critic can say, and we secured the minutes of the meeting from the chairman in the usual way. The news that the Dominion Government, have at last decided to consider the matter of the commencement of a Parcels post system, will be received with delight by the general public, lt marks the first real attempt to grapple with the grasping monopoly of the Express Cos., and the progress of this over-due reform, will be watched with the greatest interest.

It literally tneans that the nerves are being starved. Like every other part of the body the nerves receive their nourishment through the blood. There is therefore no doubt that Dr. Williams Pink Pills will cure the worst cases ���������oE neuralgia. They actually make new rich blood, carrying to the starved nerves- the elements they need, thus driving away the sharp, torturing pains which nearly drives the sufferer wild. So many cases of neuralgia have yielded to treatment through Dr. Williams' Pink Puis that every sufferer from this dreaded the Pills a fair trial. Mrs. Sophia K- Johnson, Mozan. Sask.: says*. ���������**For upwards of ten years I was a periodical sufferer from neuralgia. It located in the side cf my face and m the jaw. which would actually click every time I opened or closed my mouth.

It is safe to soy that of the tens of thousands who will witness the Naval Review on June 24th at Spithead very few will be able to distinguish an admiral from a commander, or an engineer-lieutenant from a fleet-paymaster; and yet to the initiated ity is the simplest thing *in the world. One glance at the sleeve of his coat is sufficient for the well-informed; for, whereas the army officer carries the insignia oi his rank on his shoulder, the naval officer carries his in gold stripes extending round the sleeve. ss.' Naval officers comprise the executive or military branch, and the engineering, medical, - : and accountant branches. Whereas the executive officer is always recognized by the uppermost stupe "oh his arm being extended into a small circle of gold lace above it. till the stripes of the other branches go straight round the sleeve, and in addition have a distinctive colored cloth between the stripes. Thus the engineer officer always has purple cloth between the stripes, the medical officer always has red. and the accountant officer has white, so the observer can at once see to what branch an officer belongs. As regards rank, the number of stripes will inform him. Two stripes iudieate a lieutenant, an engineer- lieutenant, a surgeon, or a paymaster ���������always having regard to the goki circle on the uppermost stripe for the lieutenant, or the purple, red or white cloth between the stripes, and no circle, ior the other brauches. Three stripes, of which the middle one is only half the thickness of the other two, indicate a senior Teutenant ot senior engineer, a staff-surgeon, or a staff-paymaster; while three stripes all of the S3tne thickness denote u commander, a fleet-surgeon, or a fieet- paymaj^ter. A captain has four stripes.

Gory pamphlets used to be issued after executions not only in this coun-, I try, but in England. In London there J were printing shops which produced j nothing but horribie booklets treat- j ing of murders and hangings. They enjoyed a. tremendous 6ale and were bought by ail classes of people. One of the most expensive of these pamphlets extant is a book of 32 pages, describing the iniquitous career and tragic end of Sophia Hamilton, wno was sentenced to death at tfredericton, N.B., in 1845, (or an almost incredible series of crimes. And if the story contained in the pamphlet is true she was entitled to the championship as a murderess. The achievements of Kate Bender and Belle (junness were trivial by comparison. One may speak flippantly now of her career, since all concerned are in their graves, but the people of Now Brunswick, sixty years ago, mentioned" her nam a with shud- derings. Her father was a murderer before her. and waa killed by a dog belonging to one of his victims. Sophia, when 17 years of age, married an excellent young man, who relused to believe stories he heard reflecting upon hor character. After being mar- rh*d awhile he was convinced that the stories were true, and took his young wife to task, which proved so embarrassing to her that she placed poison in his soup, and he died the 'death. Then she established a wayside inn near Woodstock, N. B., gathered about her a corps of skillful homicidal experts and took up murder and robbery as her lite work. She had the house remodeled to facilitate h:>r work and there were rooms with trapdoors in the tioor, and sliding panels in the walls, and similar contrivances. Her cellar became a iaorgue. At first she buried her victims carefully, biit as time went on. and business increased she became rather careless and just left them lying around. There was niuch-traffic along the quiet road where her iriu stood. The banking facilities ot that time were not as they uow are, and some of the travelers on their way to buy furs or lumber or other merchandise carried large sums of money. Sophia easily picked out such travelers when they stopped at her cozy caravansary, and made herself agreeable to them and treated them to wine which she had drugged with much skill, and then the travelers vanished fr;m the face of the earth. ie did not always kill them in the inn, however. She was-a woman of resources. Two gentlemen from Quebec who were on a fur buying expedition visited the inn, and Sophia soon learned that they had a large sum of money in gold. She was hoping they would stay for the night, but they had ah unreasonable desire to push on and started away in their sled. Sophia, seeing they could not be detained, seut a couple of her deputies up the road to waylay them. The deputies stretched a rope across the road,_ and when the i travelers horse ran into it the murderers did their work, and Sophia came up just in time to see the victims die and re- lieverthem of $10,000;Aih gold;y:Uppri; another-, occasion she ^waited upon; a guest at the breakfast, table with her own fair hands, and took occasion to stab him in the back A while he was commenting upon; the?: excellence of the'-coffee.

Sibley, di Montreal, who has recently returned from a tour of the Eastern States where he wrote' a series of articles for the Montreal Star on "Deserted Farms in the United States," says in referring to Reciprocity:��������� ; y- V Do the Canadian farmers ���������'.? imagine that they can invade the markets of the United States and succeed where, so many American farmers fail ? If so, let them make a '.survey of farm- ingVconditions east bf the Mississippi in thie United States. If there were any virtue in this'., cry of free access to a market,of ninety millions of people, or if the United States had even begun to have reached its limit of production, surely these, farmers would at least have begun ��������� to feel the.benefitAof it. Exactly the reverse is the case. ' The United States census reports of the 20-year period from 1880 to 1900 show that in that time ho fewer than 15,344 farms in New England went out of existence, that there were 17,000 less farmers iri these States at the end of the period than at the beginning, and that some v 5,000,000 acres of land that were in cultivation in 1880 went out of tillage and cultivation. .,... . .... ,..,... And thanks- to the trusts the pro- fits of the farmers in the great markets now to be placed open to the people of Canada are so small' that the' decline of farming in New England is still progressing despite free access to the market of ninety millions of people. Last year���������the year of their* census-^-there were in New England 187,418 farms, which is 2.3 less per cent, than the number nt the census of 1900.

W. N. U., No. nu THE CRESTON, B. C, REVIEW. AMS and. J ELLI ES IFANCT there is scarcely a housewife who does not, in midsummer, gaze upon the embarrassment ol riches in the way of fruits, 'and eay aloud, or to herself, "Oh, how I wish I might have some of these in midwinter!" ' But when winter comes, such fresh fruits as may be bought, if one has the-" money, do not taste as do those of the warm season. They have been brought ' from great distances and, to insure their keeping until the journey's end, have been picked before they are ripe. Or, if they- are hothouse p-oducts, they are, at best, But poor substitutes for the summer fruit. In many homes, however, an obstacle qu**e as great and tangible as. distance and cold weather is lack of means with which to purohase ' such delicacies as appear only on rich men's tables. One housewife declares -_. that- "winter strawberries taste too much of. gold" for her to enjoy them. But in the summer, when the fruit is ��������� in its prime, it can be preserved and made into jams and j������llies that will stand one in good stead when the barren season comes. There has been much argument as to Whether there is economy in "putting up" fruit in one's own home when one can purchase from her grocer such really excellent canned articles as are now for sale. Years ago, no "canned goods" prepared in factories equaled the home product. Now canning has been perfected to suoh an extent that "she "Engage the children of the family to help." must be an exicellerft cook who darea assert that her kitchen ean "turn out" vegetables and fruits as good as those preserved-by trustworthy manufacturers. And if one must buy her own fruits at market prices, there is little, if any, economy in doing her own preserving, jellying and jamming, especially if she takes into account the fuel she must use In the process ana the value of her time, if it is of any financial worth. Each of these factors must be - considered In counting the cost of home- cooked sweet* and those bought from a reputable concern. Let us suppose, however, that our housewife raises in her own garden her berries of various kinds, that she has her own apple, peach and plum trees, and that from her own vines she plucks the grapes she uses. Under ^these conditions she may congratulate herself that in making her own conserves she is saving money. In planning for this work try to arrange to put up several kinds of fruit at once. This is economy of labor and/ time, as it takes no more heat to cook three articles on a hot day than one. Moreover, as one must be in the kitchen, one may as well "kill two birds with one stone," or put up several varieties of fruit over one fire. To facilitate matters, have all ingredients and utensils ready beforehand. If the fruit must be peeled, do this, if possible, early in the morning, or even on the afternoon before, dropping each piece In cold water as soon as the skin is removed. If berries must be hulled, hull them the day before. As to the tedious business of "topping and tailing" gooseberries, engage the children in the family to do this a day ahead of time, paying them a few pennies for the task. See to it that glasses and jars are scalded and rinsed out in cold water and ready to be filled. Be sure that the jar lids at tightly and that the rubbers are new and unbroken. A defective rubber will cause the fermentation of an entire * jar of perfect fruit. A pair of kitchen scales is an important article at preserving time. Use agate or porcelain-lined kettles for preserving and jelly-making. Have a spoon with such a long handle that the steam from the contents of the kettle will not scald your Wrist and hand as you stir them. A wooden spoon, or agate, is better than one of metal, upon which the acid of the fruit may cause a chemical action which will affect the taste or color of the fruit it touches. Of all jams, that made of strawberries is perhaps the most popular; but gooseberry and currant are so good when served with crackers and cream cheese that the housekeeper will do well to lay in a generous supply of each. Strawberry Jam Hull the berries and weigh them. Allow as much granulated sugar as you have berries. Wash the berries quickly and drain immediately. Put into the preserving kettle with the moisture clinging to them, and as they heat mash them. Add the sugar and bring to a boil, skimming the scum off as it rises to the surface/ Take, from the Are and boil until quite thick. Put the berries back into the juice, boil up once and pour into jars. If there is too much juice, dip out some of it and make Into strawberry jelly. Gooseberry -Jam Top and tail and weigh the berries. For every pound of fruit '"Ayy\ "A pair of scales is necessarj." ' :y:''/'\A j' "���������ct. .',^i_?ll ���������������&A "Don't forget the long-handled spoon." allow three-quarters of a pound of gran- - ulated sugar. Wash the berries and put tbem, with the water clinging to them, into the preserving kettle, and set them where they will heat slowly, stirring them up from the bottom often. When enough juice has exuded from the fruit to prevent scorching, boll gently for a-n hour, still stirring every five minutes. At the end of an hour add the sugar and cook gently for an hour or more, or until the jam is thick. Currant Jam This is 'made like gooseberry, but one must allow a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit. Preserved Strawberries Por these, select ae many boxes of small berries as you have boxes of large, firm-fruit. Cap the berries, keeping the, large ones separated from those of inferior size. Mash trie small fruit and p3ur them into a jeilybag. draining off all the juice. Measure this liquid, and to every t quart of it allow two p'ounds of pugar. Put the sugar 3nd juire into the preserving kettle and boil until a little poured upon a chilled plate begins to "jelly." Meanwhile, weigh the large berries, and allow a pound of sugar to each pound of fruit. Turn the sugar and thd fruit Into, the strawberry juice, th'at has been cooked as directed, and simmer gently. The mixture should soon become thick, when it must be' removed and, while hot, poured into jelly glasses or small jars. * * Preserved Peaches i ^- ������ peel the peaches and, after removing the pits, weigh the fruit. To each pound of this allow a pound of sugar. Put the fruit into the kettle in layers, covering each- layer with sugar. Simmer gently for a half hour after the boil begins, then remove the peaches, and spread them on a platter. Boll the syrup until thick, skimming often. Pack the peaches ��������� Into jars, fill these to overflowing with the boiling syrup and' seal. Gingered-Peor Conserve Have ready a quarter peck of green pears, 3 lemons, 2 oranges. 4 pounds of granulated sugar, 2 ounces of 1 green ginger root and a gill of water. Cut the pears into quarters, peeling them, removing the cores and drop- o liner Into cold water. Grate the rlnct from the 3 lemons; scrape the rind 'Vom the ginger root. Put through .he food chopper the drained pears * ind the ginger root; add to them the sugar, the "grated lemon rind, the njirp of Jhe i^toons ard <-������rnntr������K������ and lie gill of cold water.

Weigh all; add an equal weight of sugar and boll until thick. Put into Jars and seal. Peach and Orange Marmalade ��������� Peel enough peaches to make 6 pounds after the pits have been removed. Crack 20 peach-pits and remove the kernels. Chop the kernels and add them to the. peaches; add the juice and pulp of 4 large oranges, and stir in 4 pounds of sugar. Boil, stirring often, until thick and clear. Put into glasses and, when cold, pour paraffine over the marmalade. Currant Jelly Wash the currants;" put them, dtill wet, into the preserving kettle, and set -where the fruit will heat very slowly. When it is hot and broken, squeeze it through-a Jelly bag:. Measure the juice, and to each'pint" allow a pound of sugar. Put the sugar in shallow pans in the open oven to heat, stirring it often, that It de<;s not burn. Tieturn the juice to the fir* and boil ateadily for twenty minutes, then add, gradually, the heated sugar, bring to the boiling point, take from the fire and pour into glasses. Peach. Jelly Peel and stone a peck of peaches, slicing or cutting them, and adding to them a dozen cracked peach pits. Cook until the fruit is broken and soft, then strain and measure. Return to the fire, add the juice of a lemon and boll for twenty minutes. Stir in a pound of heated sugar for each pint of Juice, boil up once and pour into glasses. .Staked.
