Among those gathered together weTe 12 novitiates of the Order,* having been, that evening initiated just prior to the supper. These additions to the,ranks of the Woodmen are the result of Mr Graves work here during the past week. -,.''' ��������� The evening passed in a most pleasant manner, enlivened as it was by 6ongs<, and speeches' from the various respondents.' < We how wish to cull attention to a mistake which was made,'and , which is being often made at functions of this kind, and, this���������responding to- the toast���������-The King, This is not only unnecessary, but incorrect.

The incident dropped. Aid Daniels in speaking Bank's ' position, thought that he should pay more attention to wholesale liquor houses, reported to be selling by retail, and to candy stores and places of that description, said to be gambling arid drinking resorts. He said that there had been much talk, and while he did not think it right for a man to work both day and night, as Mr Banks said, he must endeavour to check the evils, if they existed, even if he had to give up all day work for a time. i Mr Banks here explained that he * had.only lately heard of gambling. Aid. Short said that everyone had heard of it, not only lately, but long s-ince, and Mr Banks must know of what was being said. Aid. McFadyen wanted Mr Banks to explain why the transgressors had not been arrested. Mr Banks answered that it had been his idea to catch several at once, for if he caught one, as he could have done, the others then would take warning, and the fines would be lost to the city. Aid. Short wanted to know if he caught one, would that one case have the effect of stopping the traffic/for if so, by all means catch that one, and so stop it. There was then a little discussion regarding the advisability of having the publication of the matter suppressed, several thinking it would interfere with Mr Banks duties in the future. Aid. Daniels thought that everything should be published, for if the publication had the effect of frightening the transgressors into proper ways, then the object was attained. It should not be the intention to endeavour to have a man fined, but 'pHOUGH we .can't, match this in Double-ttreasted.

He walked as erect as ever, but his uniform coat hung loose about him like a sack and his step lacked the buoyant spring that used to distinguish his approach. He .took her, pink little i palm in his tanned yellow hand with ��������� a great sigh of relief. < ' ��������� \"It's good to get back to God's country again.\" he told her. after the first greetings were past. \"I suppose you did miss a good many things down there. It must have been awful, if the newspaper- accounts are truo\" - ��������� He shrugged his thin shoulders. ' \"It wasn't exactly-a picnic; but, then, men don't go to war for fun���������at least . they are not liable to find it if they do.\" \"And what did you miss most?\" A flash of his old,audacity leaped.to his eye.\" \"A little girl in New York. There were other things I wanted��������� iced drinks, something to eat that'was ��������� green, a place to sleep in where the water wasn't', more-than six 'inches deep���������but it was the girl I wanted to see most.\"- i ' She gave him her .most suave smile. ,, \"I,didn't know j-ou had any sisters.\" \"Fhaven't. .This was another man's sister.\" \"Oh!' ' . . There did not seem to be anything further to say along that line, so far - as she was concerned. Presently she asked: ^ \\ ..\"Has the regiment been ordered home?\" ' ' Yes; we're' all here���������what's left of us!\"' Then he added, \"I came home to tell this girl I love her.\" \"Yes?\" she asked with polite interest. \"Did you have the regiment ordered home just'for that?' Isn't It taking a good deal of trouble?\" \"Not too much. That's what I'm here for���������to take trouble, if I can only gain my end.\"' She murmured something about hoping she would be able to congratulate him,soon. ��������� ' . . ��������� His big eyes covered her steadily. \"Do you really hope so?\" \"Of 'course. But do tell me about the war. I'm just dying to know all about how it feels to be in battle.\" \"There's nothing much to tell,\" he answered, somehow feeling baffled without quite , knowing why. \"It's awfully hot and dusty, and once in a while some, poor fellow gets knocked over. There isn't anything much to see. One,gets a throat like a limekiln; no trouble at all to raise a thirst. That's aboiif all. But there's something else I'd rather talk about.\" \",Oh, yes���������the charges against the government about the feeding and care of the soldiers,\" she acquiesced hastily, the charges! I'm not worry- thera at all. It's this girl 1 want to talk about.\" \"Oh, that girl again!\" \"Yes; I'm interested in her.** \"Is she nice?\" \"I think so.\" \"And good looking?\" \"Well, her looks make a hit with mo.\" \"Doubtless she would be gratified to know it.\" \"I'm not so sure about that,\" he answered, looking at her swiftly. \"In point of fact, she knows it already, only she pretends not to. I can't seem to find out where I stand with her. When I get read}' to tell her, she laughs at me with the gravest fa^e imaginable. One can't grow sentimental when a girl i.s making game of one, you know.\" \"No, I suppose not,\" she assented demurely. He took a grip on himself and decided-that the time had come to'storm this fortress, to which the ruu up San Juan hill appeared a mere bagatelle. \"There was once a young fellow at the Point.\" he began nervously. \"Naturally lie'thought himself in love, but the curious thing is that he was in love. Fact is he didn't know any more about girls than you do about the native jargon of the Hindoo. He never had been with them. But once��������� .well, the sister of a classmate came visiting at the Point, and after that she was the only woman in the world that counted.\" She settled herself more comfortably in the chair and smiled dazzlingly at him. Never a maiden more unconscious of his ulterior meaning. \"How charmingly romantic! Do go on.:. I hope there will be immense difficulties in the way���������another lover, obdurate .parent, heartrending separation, mutual vows of undying fealty.\" \"No; there wasn't any obdurate parent. So far as I could find out her father hadn't any objections to my���������to this young fellow���������marrying his daughter. There were separations enough.

'��������� \"There was another lover,\" he continued, eyes lull on hers. \"He was \"a man of a good'deal-of force, had made his own way in the world and was on the road to wealth. He could give her all the things that this lieutenant couldn't give her, the luxuries she had been used to all her life.\" \"Oh. 1\" see.' He could feed her on bonbons.\" This most innocently. \"He could provide for her as she ought to be provided for.\" \"Still it Is Just conceivable that even i girl niight weary of eating sweets The livelong year in and year out,'isn't it?\" she asked, with a touch of asperity. , , \" ��������� \"I'm not talking about* confections exactly, but there are decencies to be observed.^.

Don't you see that it was because he cared, so much' for her that he could not ask her to share, a lot like that with him? He went away and bore his hurt silently.\" ��������� > -,. \"That, was, very generous of him,\" sheadmitted cordially. \"But you must be wrong about the officer,- Lieutenant Weston. He couldn't have really believed in the girl if he thought these luxuries were more to her than the'man she loved.

Lougfellow during a visit to London it was agreed that no set speeches should be made. After tbe fruit and coffee had been discussed. Admiral F\"arragut arose and protested that they could not dream of parting without hearing from Mr. Gladstone.

Judging.by results,1 the Roman army was so from the lifth century B. C onward until the division of the empire. Its fighting organization was us complete as and possibly more practical than that of any army of today. It was1 based on a territorial system which maintained the comradeship of locality without bringing it into antagonism with tbat of the corps, for each of the thirty-five Roman \"tribes\" was required lo furnish to each legion four \"centuries\" of 120 men, each of which worked together as a local unit The legion was divided into five cohorts or battalions, of which three were troops of the'line, two were a kind of militia and the fifth was a depot battalion., For almost eight centuries the army thus constituted not only conquered the then known world, but acted as explorers beyond its, limits, and at the same time made and unmade kings and emperors in Rome itself. In modern times the Prussian army,'which won Sadowa and Sodan and overran both Austria and France, was the strongest the world has known.���������London Answers Punch and Judy In China. It would surprise a good many persons probably to hear that Punch and Judy is a Chinese institution, but there seems to be good ground for tbe supposition, according to a correspondent of a London paper, who says: \"A few years ago I witnessed at a garden party given by the general then commanding the troops in Hongkong the exhibition of a Chinese Punch and Judy, which had been brought down from Canton.

The sketch is from the pen of A. Sarath Kumar,, Ghosh, and is addressed to all*.his countrymen. It is full of the rich imagery and impassioned language of the east, and breathes' a spirit of loyalty which could not' be,.surpassed in any'English-speaking section 'of the Empire.

MINUTE I | FUSE w^m ! 6 Wallace Cook 0 A -\" Copyright, 1901, by W. W. Cook. Q ��������� l - 1 Andy and Blakesly had settled it between them that the Dutchman was a thief. Andy had missed a silver watch, Higgius a pocketbook with $5 in it'and Baker a nugget valued at $20 which he had kept iu his trunk. Andy had wakened out of a sound ' sleep a few nights\" before and had Keen Fritz skulking through the biink- liouse.' When Andy failed to find his . watch next morning, there was but one Inference for him to draw. There in the end of the \"drift\" he and Blakesly figured the matter all out. In the afternoon Fritz was not only to be discharged, but also to see the in- , side of the Ph'enix jail. ��������� Blakesly .sat reflectively oh the handle of his wheelbarrow. Andy threw down his drill, unwound a two minute length of fuse from the coil, scraped the end and slipped on a cap. He pushed the cap down into the hole and & followed it with two sticks of dynamite, gently ramming them uome, and filling up the hole with' dust. \"Great Scott!\" exclaimed Blakesly. \"You're putting in a charge for your life, Andy.\" , . \"I'm going to blow but this horse and uncover the vein,\" returned the .foreman, \"if it takes a leg.\"- Just then a burst of childisli laughter echoed to them. \"Is that Allie?\",- he asked. . Allie was his daughter, a motherless, sunny faced child, who had been the especial protege of Mrs. Hurst, the keeper of the boarding house, ever since her father had brought her to the Pactolus mine. 'Occasional\"*/ Allie was allowed to come down into the workings, which was always a treat for her. She was a prime favorjte, and every one of the miners would have guarded her as the apple of his eye. \"It must be Ailie,\" said. Blakesly, getting up and starting off. . At that precise minute the noon whistle of the stamp mill sounded. \"Take Allie up with you,\" Andy called after Blakesly. 'All right,\" returned Blakesly, halt- ing at the' shaft.\" The ladder was filled with,climbing miners, Fritz at the lower., end of the row. \"Where's Allie, Fritz?\" asked Blakesly. \"She vas gone oop alretty,\" answered Fritz, looking down. \"Sure about that?\" \"Yah, sure. Kingman carried her oudt. I seen lffm meinself.\" . All the miners of the day shift .except Kingman and Andy were now on the ladder. Blakesly was satisfied and started,nimbly up the greasy-rungs. The foreman removed his tools to a place of safety, applied the flame of his 'candle to the end of the. fuse,, /watched the fuse splutter for .a..mo-, ment and 'then made his way to the ladder and started for the. surface himself. '. \"Where's Allie?\" asked Andy, springing out of the shaft and hurrying after Blakesly. \"She came up with Kingman,\" replied Blakesly. \"Who told you?\" \"Fritz.\" The miners were straggling out, singly and in couples, on their way to , the boarding house. Kingman ��������� as in the lead, walking alone. Fritz' was just ahead of the foreman and Blakesly. \"Hello, Kingman!\" shouted Andy. \"Where's Allie?\" Kingman turned. \"Didn't she come up with you?\" he asked. ^ Every miner in the straggling line came to an abrupt halt. The very thought that Allio. might still be below with a fuse lighted and leaping closer and closer to a terrific charge of dynamite was'sufficient to set every heart to pounding. There were other charges In the level, too. but they were light compared with the one in the breast of the tunnel. Andy wont white in a second. \"You infernal villain!\" he roared, springing upon Fritz and gripping him by the throat. Fritz tore himself loose and ran frantically back to the shaft. \"Kingman vent past der slope in it Allie on his shouitcr,\" he flung at them as he raced. \"I did,\" cried Kingman, joining the rest as they flocked excitedly after Fritz, \"but she said she'd rather come up .with her father, so I lowered her down the ladder again. Didn't you see her, Andy?\" \"Oh, my God!\" gasped the foreman and threw his hands to his face. \"How many holes were loaded?\" demanded Blakesly. \"Three,\" said Higgins. \"All two minute fuses?\" It was a useless -question, for that was the standard length for the noon firing. Andy staggered against tbe frame- Work, of the \"whim,\" bis face ashen and his nerve completely gone. He could do nothing. \"Perhaps she's coming up!\" suggested Blakesly. Another useless remark, for Allie could not have climbed the ladder if she had tried. . Blakesly leaped on the platform to look down, but Fritz had already swung tbe ox hide ore bucket over the shaft had kicked the coil, of rope into the depths and had gripped the strands convulsively.. ���������It was a time for action, not for- words. How many seconds of tbe precious 120 had already slipped away? The climbing of the ladder, the walk' toward the boarding house, the colloquy,' the backward rush���������it seemed as though all that must have consumed the time to the uttermost second. ��������� \"She's not coming oop!\" cried Fritz, and as he spoke he sprang into the bucket and.dropped from sight. ��������� One glimpse of hi������ wild, terror stricken face was all they caught, and then came the swirl of the rope and the shriek of the unoiled sheave. In a breath there followed the bump of the bucket at the bottom of the shaft, and the rope leaped upward and hung limp and shaking. Boom! came from below, a puff of bluish smoke curling upward above the platform planks. \"One!\" whispered Blakesly, drawing away from the choking powder. Boom! ��������� ��������� '.' \"Two!\" gasped Higgins, holding his hat over his mouth, and kneeling .to peer downward. > ��������� ��������� ��������� \"Do you see anything���������hear anything?\" demanded Kingman hoarsely. Higgins turned a despairing face toward. Kingman and shook his head. Boom! ' ��������� From under them came a sodden roar .which seemed to-rive the earth asunder. ' Kingman was thrown from his feet, ard the others on the platform flung oiit their hands in an attempt to grasp something and support themselves.- Up from the blackness rolled a billow of sulphurous fog. < \"Fritz was mad to go down there,\" said Kingman., \"They!re .both lost. What are you doing, Blakesly?\" Blakesly had jerked off his coat and was wrapping it about.his head. \"If> they're not both done for now,\" he replied in muHied tones, \"they soon will lie if we don't get them up. Stand ready to man the whim rope, when I shake it.\" ' ' He crawled gropingly to the ladder and. lowered himself. All watched the rope breathlessly.' Finally; after a wait that seemed hours in duration, the signal was given, and stout hands drew the bucket to the surface. A little head lay against the bucket's rim, and a white childish face met the eyes of the men. Allie! Kingman took her ont of the bucket. She was unconscious, but the miracle was that she did not appear to be hurt. Not a stone of all that flying debris had struck her. She was given into the eager, trembling arms of her father, who started at a run for the boarding house. Meanwhile the bucket had again been lowered. The signal from Blakesly was longer in coining than the first had. been, and when the. bucket was drawn up a second time it was found to contain Fritz���������Fritz, bruised, torn ' and bleeding, his clothes all but stripped from his body. Tender hands lifted him to the platform and stretched his mangled limbs out on the rough planks. They thought he was dead, but ln's eyelids quivered unexpectedly and partly opened. /'I vas between Allie nnd der rocks,\" he whispered weakly. \"She vas in my arms mid nodding touched her. It vas my mistake, und it's all right, all right.\" His spirit flickered and '-went x^iui^A&mt^weimimKKKimrjcji a\" a? X' V ft\" 3k' A\" JS������ ft\" ft\" &������ THE HOPE qf the HEART BY BALDWIN SCARS Copyright, 1901, by Baldwin Scars ' The scuttle in the roof of the, farmhouse opened slowly, and a girl's head appeared. As she held up her face to the evening breeze, her fair'skin, yellow hair and delicate features made her appear, like some, faint star just glancing'above the horizon. A young man with a scythe over his shoulder crossing the lane below the barn looked up toward the house. Seeing the girl, he stopped, straightened his shoulders as though be half expected her to speak and to speak himself, then walked on' with lagging steps and disappeared below the orchard where the brook flows into the woods. ������������������ Mai\\y leaned her arms on the edge of the scuttle and looked but. The hot air from the garret blowing in gusts past' her face was, like a twitch at^her sleeves reminding her of the household out even as the \"all right\" faded from his lips. Blakesly had to be helped to the surface, for 'his work im the noisome vapor had told upon him. A few breaths .of fresh air were all he needed, and when he had revived sufficiently he told how he had groped his way along the tunnel and had found Fritz lying among the splintered rocks. Allie clasped in his rigid arms, her body protected by his own. That ��������� afternoon Andy and Blakesly found a battered silver watch, an-old pocketUook containing $5 and a gold nugget, all on the floor of the fifty foot level. \"That is exactly where Fritz and Allie were lying,\" said Blakesly. \" 'Sh-h-li-h!\" whispered the foreman, slipping the purse with its contents and the watch and nugget into his pocket. \"Not a word about this. Blal.esly. to :iny living man. Leave me to deal with the matter.\" The following morning Baker was surprised to discover that his twenty dollar nugget was back in his trunk, and Higgins, when he put on his best suit to go to Fritz's funeral, found the pocketbook with the $5 securely stowed away in the breast of his coat. \"Blamed if I didn't lviul over everything in my trunk a dozen times looking for that chunk of gold,\" remarked Baker. \"If it had been a snake, it would have bitten me.\" \"I went through the pockets of all the clothes I've got hunting for that purse.\" spoke up Higyins. \"And to think that we ever suspected Fritz!\" \"Think nothing but good of the dead, boj's,\" said Andy, with feeling. \"Come on! The minister is1 ready.\" she had left below. ' She was the only one who had not already gone to bed. It was harvest time. -They were cutting tho wheat In the meadows, and all day the hum. of the reaper had come up . from the broad, white fields where the men were at work. Since dawn the house had been buzzing with lively toil, but now the day's w.ork was ended. . In the front room 'off the, porch' the farmer and his wife were asleep. They had'gone to bed immediately after supper, and while' Mary had sat in,,the porch she heard their low voices talking over tho potato crop and the grain, their drowsy words growing fewer, slower, until at length they sank away and ceased, .while yet the bobolinks were'skimming over the meadow and the red of the sunset lingered. Across the gate her married brother and a neighbor had talked politics. Mary had heard their nasal voices alternating like the wooden balls tossed by a juggler.' In the south chamber just under the attic her sister-in-law had been putting her children to bed, the creak, creak'of the crocking chair as it swayed' over an uneven board dimly\" audible through the silent house. In. the attic under the roof slept her little'brother Bob, dreamless,ttir'ed and contented at the eud of liis long summer day. ���������\" iDown in the kitchen yard the turkeys and chickens had gone to roost in the apple tree's.and'the grape arbor, clucking and twittering in sleepy protest against tho awkward ones as they settled themselves together. In a few moments it' had grown xery still and dark. The girl on the house top .drew a long breath and leaned her head back against the edge of the rooic It was only 8 o'clock, and the faint yellow twilight lingered on the border of the summer night. A new moon hung low over the crest of the woods. The west wind brought up the hot smell of ripening cornfields, and a bat. darted out of the orchard > in swooping circles against the clear night. From her eyrie,above the treetops the. farm buildings, the neighboring houses, the fields and lanes, even the wide post road, looked quite small and cheap, like a toy village. The countryside iu its irregular checkerboard of pasture, corn and woodland, pule yellow with the wheat stubble, somber green where half ripened orchards spread, marked here and there by a cluster, of roofs, a spire that told a hamlet in the hills, became significant only in the mystery of distance as it mounted toward the hills and ended at last in one vast, gray, sealike level against the trackless sky. Mary looked at it all as one upon whose mind the meaning of these familiar scenes had just begun to .dawn-these fields, the chickens she must pluck, the bread she must make, the ���������\"raspberries she must preserve, all grouped themselves before her in a coherent scheme of life. From dawn till dark, each day alike, cooking, washing, preserving, holding the babies���������the burdens of each side were hers. So far she had carried them unthinkingly, unquestionably. It was only the lot of every farmer's life. Tonight she was unusually tired. To escape a fooling of restlessness she had determined to go to bed. It was refreshing to lie in the cool darkness. But before she reached the top of the attic stairs she felt the dry heat of the sun baked roof. The great, timbered space, dark with its age blackened beams and scantly windowed twilight, held a strange odor of cedar shingles, of ancient leather trunks, of musty papers. In the solemn dusk the candle lost its bold glare and drooped to a wavering spark, eyed by the glimmering gray panes of the gable windows high under the ridge. The two chimneys, like huge stone giants whom she had been feeding all day, stooped over her as tbey towered toward the roof, reminding her of tomorrow's kitchen work. As Mary sat on the edge of her cot, thinking of these things, she looked up vaguely. A star, the first in the pale night, shone through the window upon ner, clear, unwinking, pensive, holy. A lock i of hair loosened by the wind floated softly across her cheek like the' Jriss of unseen lips. For the first time in her life she felt the restless longing for some good of which she was ignorant. What was it., her simple, sweet existeuce lacked? Had she not everything that a girl\" could ask���������father, mother, food and shelter, a ' place in the' world? What else ,'had any one? 7\"he aged farmer and his wife���������those two good people fast asleep without a thought in their nightcaps beyond the, potato crop: their daughter-in-law, *he men at work in the fields, ������H those dependent on the great harvests, on the bountiful farm; wore they not'happy, contented.''unquestioning? Was she not happy too? Had she anything to .complain of.'to regret, to wish for? Suddenly out of the hush came' the cry of the whippoorwill, that piercing, mournful', voice of the vacant, windblown, fields, of meadows flowering unseen and far away. It thrilled her like a pain. It stabbed her through' and through and cut her to the heart with its questioning, solitary call, hidden in the twilight of the.woods. , She had heard it so often, year after year, like the robin and the lark. Never nad it sounded so lonely, so friend- 'less and' apart. A strange longing swelled up in 'her breast; tears filled her eyes., The years of, her life,, with 'jtheir- simple: tasks, -\"their ambitions, hopes and dreams, came to her like some .vast tidal wave upon a sunny shore, withdrawing iu a long resovi'nd- , ing sigh at the .absence of some unknown ojoy. She stared through the warm darkness toward the edge of the woods outlined against the evening as though one should try to read the-soul of a silhouette. Then she dropped her face in her hands' for a single minute. At 0' o'clock' in the morning Mary was in tlie garden picking the vegetar blesfor dinner. The sunshiny, dew fresh day,t the beans and cabbages, in their prim symmetry,' the tall'scarlet hollyhocks nodding against the fence, ' made the experience of the night before very remote and visionary. ��������� As Mary reached the end of tne row of peas she'pushed back her sunbonnet and looked up; then her song stopped and she knelt silently. A young man was standing on the other side^ of the garden wall looking at her. He bliished as he met her steady, smiling, gaze. \"Picking peas?\" he asked. \"You've got a lot, haven't .you?\" ' ' \"Yes, indeed; plenty this year. Have you?\" . r [ \" ��������� \"All wTe can eat and more too. Getting old, though. ' How are these?\" He crossed the wall and stood beside her. \"Yours are pretty tender yet.\" He tore off another pod.- \"Shan't I help you? Two' can work better than one.-\" \"Oh, thank you; you needn't bother.\" Yet she smiled at him. ^ \"Oh, I like to do this. I'll take the inside of the row.\" \"It's ��������� very kind of you,\" she an-\" swercd, looking up .at him sweetly. 'How brown and strong and sinewy he had grown since he had begun to work in the harvest fields. She had not seen hirm-for a long while, not since they were in school together. She was looking at him again .when he glanced up and caught her eyes. This time they both blushed. They said nothing for some time. Mary picked busily, and the boy whistled half to himself. They were beside each other, with nothing between them but the slender trellis of pea vines, enough to give the boy courage to say, \"Did you hear the whippoorwill last night?\" * Mary felt a flash tSat made her nerves tingle. \"Oh, did you, to������?\" she exclaimed, then, stopped, abashed at her' own eagerness. How eould , Alvy understand the confession she had made to a whippoorwill just because it was unseen? \"Where was it?\" she asked, with all ��������� the carelessness she could summon. , . \"Down in the wood lot about half past 8. I was coming home 'cross lots back of your barn; been up at the other farm all day.\" They were picking slowly now. How pretty Mary was with her braided yellow hair, her rose pink ears, her smooth lidded, down drooping eyes! The ruffle of her apron, with its crisp curves, seemed meant to hedge her cheeks from kisses. Alvy felt his heart throb dizzily. So many words and thoughts went round and round In .'his head that he could not say one. And there was the screen of brush and vines between them. The delicate film of green was strong as a prison grille through which the serene face of the girl glowed upon him. Somehow their hands met upon the same pods. Mary's trembled, then lay still'in his. \"I saw you up on the roof,\" whispered the boy. \"You were listening, weren't you?\" Mary nodded. \"Do you���������do you like to hear it, Mary? Do you like the whippoorwill?\" Mary's lip trembled. \"I don't know. I guess so.\" \"Because.he���������he loves you, Mary.\" \"Mary, Mary, where are you?\" The two in the garden sprang up as the shrill voice called from the kitchen. As the boy leaped over the fence into his own orchard Mary looked after him. From the trees among which he disappeared came clear, low and sweet the call of the whippoorwill. PICTURESQUE BRITTANY. A 'Market Scene In Tills Quaint French Province. Brittany is a land where the peasants till the earth in zouave trousers, torea-. dor jackets covered with arabesque embroideries and , green waistcoats.' around which run lines of crimson. The women wear short red, skirts,, great medici collars and coifs that flutter about their heads like the wings of doves. From beneath the points- of their black caps the children gaze at you with wide eyes full of the curiosity- of animals. These people live in houses built of sculptured granite and sleep in openwork closets carved like the mouchara- bieks of Egypt. , In, spite of the \"Breton Interiors\" and' \"Returns of ' the Fishermen\" with. which painters swamp the market this- race is still unknown or misunderstood, tor-they should be seen not In paintings, but in their homes, in their; old time streets, on market days! and when, in fair time, the tentsare pitched' in the village market place's.' ���������, ' Fiery little horses draw to market fish, fine vegetables and all the, early' produce of Roscoff.

De Loit to View. * (X ' The world, we have., been assured- time and again, knows nothing of its greatest men'. Perhaps it is equally .ignorant about its greatest books. Are- we quite sure that the idols in our literary, pantheon are -arrayed in their, due order of precedence? The rules of precedence change, and who shall assert that those prevalent at any given time are the final ones? But, above- all, are we quite certain that there may not be a notable work of genius lying unnoticed and unknown amid the wrecks of the river of.- time,, waiting only for some lucky accident that shall reveal it in all its beauty to an astonished world? Such accidents with such results have been frequent in the history of the past. Indeed such accidents have preserved or have revealed to the world no insignificant proportion of its now acknowledged masterpieces. .The hooks of the Bible themselves have experienced the narrowest escapes from what might have resulted in their total loss. The most notable example Is that of Deuteronomy, which disappeared from the Jewish world for over a century. The story of - its' rediscovery by the high priest Hezekiah during the reign of good,-King Josiah is set forth in the Old Testament. Shakespeare 'was practically forgotten in the days when Addison wrote, his \"Account of the Greatest English Poets,\" with never a mention of the name of the very greatest, yet it was shortly afterward that Shakespeare was resuscitated. Fitzgerald's \"Omar Khayyam\" and Blackmore's \"L,orna Doone\" dropped stillborn from the press and later won a sudden popularity by accident.���������William S. Walsh in Ei;a Magazine.

This generation, however, has little patience with such eccentricities.

We derive from the \\ blood'\" life, power,'beauty, and. reason, as the doctors have been saying from time immemorial. A healthy body, a fresh appearance, and generally all the-abilities we possess depend on, that source of life. It is, therefore, the duty of every sensible man to keep the blood as pure and normal as possible. Nature,, in its infinite wisdom, has given us a thermometer indicating the state >of the blood. which appeals to our reason by giving notice of its impurity. Small eruptions of the skin, to whicli'-we pay scarcely any attention, headache, ringing- noises in the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness:, are generally a sign that the blood is not in the' normal state, but is filled with noxious substances. These symptoms deserve our full attention. If more attention were paid to those symptoms and steps taken to remove them, then many illnesses from which we suffer would become unknown, and the human body would become stronger and healthier ' Attention, therefore, should be paid to those warning signs, and the blood can be purified xjmd. poisonous substances removed from it by the use' of Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more than 60 years ago.

The following* special London cable appears in a late number of the Toronto Globe. It .will be seen that the present attitude of the Imperial Government on the Mongol- ian immigration question is that it is'a matter to be settled by the self- governing Colonies, and disproves the statement of the Victoria Times. that the Imperial Government asked for the disallowance of British Columbia anti-Mongalian legislation because it was considered -inimical Co Imperial policy, rhe Laurier Government must be held responsible for the disallowance t*Mr Chamberlain's success in pro-. ���������curW the withdrawal of Natal's War claims is followed by'an ar: rangement for a large contribution to the expenses of the South African campaign from the Transvaal by a loan,based on'an Impe.ial guarantee The Rand .financiers would have agreed t.o even a greater levy upon the mining inductry if unrestricted license for the employment of'Chinese labor could have been obtained, but Mr;Chamberlain has recognised the temporary obligations of the Imperial Government as a trustee for the new colony, which\" will ultimately decide the labor question\" on it's own account when luilv armed with the power, of self government. uMr Chamberlain has; shown himself equal to, every emergency in\" South Africa, \"'hut, his most difficult'task-awaits him in Cape Colony.\" THE PREMIER'S MANIFESTO. previous to his departure for Ot- Ottawa, Premier Prior issued an address to the electors of We6t Yale, which contains a very full expression of the policy of the Government. We give a short summary. The Premier says he is satisfied that \" what the country wants is not a general election and consequent political turmoil, but quietude, and a chance for business conditions. The political unrest lor the past four or five years has not tended to promote the interests and credit of this country abroad, and , it would be most injurious to plunge the Province into another political fight,, with no justifiable hopes of a settled state of affairs as the outcome. The fact is pointed out that both the great political parties have equal representation in the Cabinet, thus securing a period of peace during which the country would have an opportunity to settle down to business of a practical nature. The Government has de terest of the rest of the'Dominion. The're-adjustment of-our financial arrangements witli the Dominion is absolutely neces^ry. A measure will be introduced at the next sitting of the Legislature to adjust the inequalities complained of in the taxing, of mining claims, , At railway meeting last night, which was largely attended, resolutions were passed asking Federal Government to grant subsidies to Cape Scott Railway, and one to be forwarded to Mayor McCandless of Victoria, expressing appreciation of his action and of railway extension north.

The expenditures for tbe fiscal year ending June 30th, 1902, have been kept well within the appropriations, and by the end of June, 1903, will, it is hoped, be balanced by actual receipts, placing the Province for the first time for many years in the p bition of having no deficit to be provided for. It is the intention to cut off every item not indispensible in the interests of the public service.

Nanaimo, Feb. 9���������Since the American Co, took over the New Vancouver Coal Co. rumours of all sorts regarding possible trouble between the new company and its employees have filled the air. The appointment of Mr Wall and his immediate resignation indicated that things were not running smoothly. Various stories of a somewhat domineering manner in which the American officials are conducting business with the men have been going around. Then came the report that the Chinese employed had their wages reduced from $1.25 a day to 90cts., with the additional report that they had struck en masse. Now comes a dispute which threatens to develop into serious demensions, it , having arisen over the use of safety lamps and tbe cancellations of the 25cts. a day allowance made by the N.V.C. Co. to men compelled to work by safety light. The men have quit work on this account. Then further trouble has arisen in regard to working the lower seam over which a dispute arose. This and other matters will be dealt,wiilv-at a mass meeting of the .Miners' Union Wednesday. ,'Rumored that, this meeting will practically decide whether the men will stay <>n or not. ,.It is also freely alleged that preparations are being made that the Western Fuel Co. will operate a company store . for the Company men.
