The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

Coalition of the. various Hun- garian parties making together the parliamentary majority still continues. Thc political's have not succeeded in affecting any change therein. The extreme element of the independent party insists upon concessions from (he throne on military questions. \ Fiancis Kossuth, leader of the unfiled opposition, however, counsels moderation and even a postponement of the extreme military demands. To" these the Emperor gives no direct sign of conceding. His Majesty evidently is waiting to see what the Hungarians will do. The Hungarian Diet re-assembles March 8th, and the combined opposition does not conceal its determination to maintain its strong position. people who enjoyed them wore unanimous in voting the affair a coimplete success. n Not for a great length of time has such a splendid programme as was" rendered last night been heard in Ladysmith, and a great many are of the opinion that it eclipsed altogether any concert that has over been given here. The Glee Club opened the entertainment with the Men of Harlech. This selection was well rendered, but the two given later in tho evening put it in- the shade altogether. In their first selection some of the voices sounded rather shrill, doubtless on account of the high key in which the song is pitched; but int.he Haul Away, the voices of tlie club were heard at their best. In this the harmony was very good while the time was perfect. An encore was demanded and a rep it ion of the last verse was given Considering that the club is but newly ganized and that last night was St. Petersburg, Sviatopolk Mirsky, of the Interior, is Khar I off.

There is no doubt that Mr. Thomas, as director of the club, has worked hard in bringing the singers to their present state of efficiency. Sirs. (Dr.) Drysdale lias been-heard before in Ladysmith, but never in \ such fine form as last evening. I ler beautiful, clear voice, in the rendering of Waiting, held the audience spell-bound. As the rich notes or the lovely song rose and fell, those in thc hall listened with breathless hi hv incut, and when with power and sweetness, the equal of which is seldom heard here, the singer concluded the hurst of applause was uproaro.is, and never ceased until the singe." reappeared. The encore, Sweet Minion- ette, wis all that could be wished for. Later in the evening Mrs. Drysdale was again heard in a pretty duet with Mr. Planta. Rendered in fine form, this item was loudly applauded but unfortunately the chairman announced "no encores," consequently a Piipition could not be heard. ing to many among the audience and ae reprtition of many of the songs would have been most acceptable. For instance, Mrs. Trehearne's son������ "Missing Boat," was worthy of recall, while the audience would have been pleased to have heard more of Mrs. - Jones, Messrs. Planta, Miles and Williams. The vocal abilities of. Messrs. T. & D. Lewis, Evans and Roberts are well known, in Ladysmith, and. all I were heard at their best-last evening. The programme; was: brought I to a conclusion by the singing of the Welsh National Anthem by Mrs. Tre- hearne and Mr: Williams, assisted by the Glee Club. Throughout the evening, Miss Cohurn officiated at the piano. Her accompaniment to all the songs, many of which were extremely difficult, was most clever and praiseworthy. Mr. J. Stewart accompanied with efficiency Mr. D. Lewis in bis splendid song. Thanks are duo Mr. Thomas for discharging in so pleasant a manner, thc trying duties of chairman. ' Immediately after the concert, a delightful dance was held, and a dainty supper was served. _. Nearly everybody who heard the'eoncert stayed over for the dance, and the floor, which was in good condition, was crowded until the morning was far advanced, with merry dancers. The Welshmen desire to thank the Nanaimo people for kindly assisting in sucli a capable manner with tho or-I Programme. They also express .-j,,,.thanks to their Ladysmith friends j for singing and to Miss Coburn for ! her valuable services at the piano. The Welshmen themselves deserve a word of praise for the whole heart- ,ed manner in which they have worked to render thc celebration a success. The enjoyment was largely due lo th.- happy lack of useless formality .throughout the entire evening. Everybody present thoroughly enjoyed themselves and all express thc wisli that the boys from the mountain country of the British Isles will give another entertainment in tho near future. 0 M..!.treal, lUar. 2.���������Negotiations are now under way looking to absorption of the medical faculty- of .Bishop's College, I.ennoi.-viile.

This is the most daiing of all computations, most of which vary between a half million and tluce million sterling wuh one of ������15,000,000. Nothing beyond the bale report of the discovery of the stone is yet known, and later infoimaliou may leduec this maivel to dimensions winch can moie readily be grasped.

The former were quoted on | Friday at ������!) 5s, and the latter on Wednesday at ������11 10s, ou Thursday ������15 5s, and oir Friday ������18. The advance is generally understood to have been caused by heavy buying by De Beers Company, with tlie object of obtaining control of the company and maintaining its monopoly in the diamond field. - I'.ven these gigantic figures give but a small idea of the value of the greatest known diamond deposit, for thorough prospecting shows diamond- iferous earth within '100 feel of the surface, of thc estimated value of no less than ������12 i,000,000. i .*_��������� - Mill PARIS IR TMIO STRAND. An ambitious scheme to enable Lon don to compete with Paris in the matter of indoor and outdoor alliac lions is on fool, and there is good reason to believe that it will be carried to a successful issue. It is no less than to acquire a large portion of tlie crescent site forme in connection with the Hol- burn to Strand improvement, and to convert il into a miniature Paris. *** The land thai it is proposed 1o lease to a French syndicate is .a large portion of the whole crescent that runs from thc new Gaiety Theatre almost to (he Church of .St. Clement Danes. Thc site of the miniature Paris is an island. It extends from the roadway that will cut through from the Strand lo Aldwych by Messrs. Short's new premises to- the next road further cast. Its frontage on the Strand if 410 feet, and on Aldwych 030 feel. II is proposed to utilize the vast space~ of 123,500 square feet in a most attractive manner. In the centre will be creeled a fine stone building- of beautiful design covering about a quarter of the total area. This will be GO feet high, and will contain a French theatre, a French restaurant and cafe, and galleries galleries suitable for holding art and industrial exhibitions. All round the block will be erected charmingly-designed shops only 27 feet high which it i.s hoped, 'will he occupied b> French jewellers, French milliners, confectioners, stationers, etc. The roofs of. the shops will form a continuous promenade. The intervening space will be laid out as gardens, or namented with fountains, statues, and flower beds, anh there will also be an open-air theatre for suinmei use. To complete the scheme would occupy about, two years, and the com' mittee recommend that a peppercorn rent shall be allowed for the first year and a rent of ������27,500 be charged for - the second and third years, after thai the full rent of ������55,000 being claimed.

AMATEUR STONE-BREAK CRS The search after truth has led the Rev. J. C. Moiris, vicar of St. Mark's Lewisbam, England, and Mi. Thomas While, the respected mayor of that borough, into stony places.' The borough of Lewishani turns its unemployed into a local si one-yard, and ' sots those desirous of'Woikirig the task of breaking stones, and remunerates them at the rate af 1-\ d. per cwt.

The famil <-f iar articles of the kitchen-, today dal- fr-o -far back that the designs arc lost in thc mists of antiquity. Baking was indisputably the 'eatlicst form of the culinary art. A hole scooped, in thc ground was filled with hot stones and thus propaied as an oven. Thc stones were then removed, thc meat put iu its place and further'hot ston- . res placed on the hot top, exactly on 1hc principle of the modern baker's oven. To this day every house in Chili and Peru has a mound in front for all thc world like a huge ant heap, which answers for the=ovcn. The gorgeous frcsco3s of tbe Egyptians, whoss clvilsation was famous' centui ics before the Christian era, reveal that the frying pan and gii'iinon were familiar articles. Though the details of the kilcen aie not given, the world's history is full of great banquets, Ihc-carly sacrificial 'feasts of the pagans bsing something indeed lo marvel at. It is a-repibach iu- Ciccro's famous "Oration" pro Ros- cius Aincrinus, thai a famous epicure had spent enough in a cooking sto\o lo build a house. All Rome "flocked to see the new stove.

The Navy League Journal, issued this month, contains a list of vessels lately condemned by the Admiralty, in which appears the names oi a comparatively large number of ships which have served on this station. This list includes ihe linpcri- euse and Warspite, which served as flagships on this station, the Am- phion, Arolhusa, Melpomene, Pheasant, and Espiegle. The Imperieuse cost ������530,Sli and tho Warspite ������G'.'.3,072. Other vessels which have sened on this station, have from time to time been condemned and suHi out of the navy, so that it will _be seen that the ships composing the j Pacific squadron have been largely composed of vessels on the verge of becoming classified as obsolete. Thc complete list of vessels condemned number eleven battleships, ten ar- nioicd cruisers, forty-three cruising vessels, thirty-six gunboats, twenty- two sloops, hulks, etc., representing in all a total of ������17,217,705. _)_______ EDUCATIONAL. At the suggestion of one of those interested in educational matters, Principal Iluggard, - of thc Lady influence of bad advisors. The Bluck (Prince was dead and this left the j power in the hands of Edward's third son, John of Gaunt. Gaunt's govern- . ment was not a good one., so in 1376 parliament met and the commons, for the first time, were given the right to impeach the king's ministers. And 1.-J77 parliament put a poll tax on the people. In the reig-n of Richard II, a council of eleven was appoiated to look after thc alTaiis of the king and now parliament could refuse to grant money until grievances were refused.

(Hy Annie Courlay). Not unt.l the reign of Henry III. did parliament gain any power. Then Simon De lWonforl,, Il-mry's* adviser, .a I Lsl a parliament at Oxford to raise some money lo pay the Pope. Hy tlie Provisions of Oxmrd, llcniy had to i.uirpl a council lo advise him, to' ->,ivc hack the castles taken from the English, and (o hold three parlia- rHiits a year. Before Ihis time thc people of thc towns and cities were t.iAtd without having any representative in parliament. Now, however, Karl Simon called a parliament and ainong'othcrs. summoned two" Knights from each shiie' and two citizens. This was (he beginning of our modern parliament of today. When Edward 1. came to the throne he followed the example of Simon De Morlort and called in 1205 a true English pailiament. Hut c* cry time pa'l'aincnt met there was a new election.

But the real estate, under the bill, was paid - tj the municipality, and considering that fifty per cent of improvements are exempt from taxation the rate on real estate was considerably lighter than the provincial rate. So that not only had they tha advantage in having to pay lighter taxes, but they icceived actually more irom thc provincial treasury than' they contribut- .il, and the rest of the province, oi course, "must stand tor that expenditure. It was proposed to disturb the system now existing, by which the covcniment contributed to what aro known as assessed school districts. In order to meat the obligations they would assume under tne ^^> dis" tricts were empowered to assess real estate, perso/al property and income, in this respect adopting the example of s..rue of the other provinces. This seems to be a very fair matter, because if real estate were only assessed, the burden might fall in cases on a few, and there were many persons, earning incomes ranging from $75 to $125 per month, who ought to contribute to sch*ool maintenance in' their districts, and were often' better able to do so than owners oiu-real estate: He did not' anticipate that a large contribution would be called for, and thought it would fall fairly and equitably on all. It was under consideration, he, said, whether a change in the,meth- of of assessment would not he desirable, making it incumbent upon school trustees after, fixing-the amount which they require for expenditure an schools, to a.lso fix the rate to provide for it. This was a question which might be dealt with in committee. Potatoes con- l.DUCATIONAL BILL.
