The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review.

A delegation from, the Victoria Board of Trade, representing the principal houses of the capital city , in all lines of business, arrived here on Monday morning, and left on the steamer Nakusp for down river,points the same evening. The party was composed of David It. Ker, President -of'the Board of Trade; Gustav Leiser, Vice-President, and Fred 'Elworthy,' Secretary; Col. El G. Prior, M.P.; Alex. C. Fluinerfelt,'of, Ames-Holden Co., and ex-President of the Board of Trade; R. J. Ker, of Ri P. llithet & Co.; Joseph W. Weiler, - of Weiler Bros.; Geo. A. Kirk, of Turner Beaton Ji'Co.: J-Piercy, of J. Pie'rcy & Co.; H. G.Wilson, of Wilson Bros.; Edward' B. Marvin, of E. B. Marvin, &' Co.; Arthur Robertson, of Martin Robertson & Co.; Robert Cassidy and B. W. Pearse. , The object of the excursion, is , to overlook the prospects for business in West Kootenay, and to bring the commercial interests of ��������� the capital into closer touch with the mining 'districts. They will visit, before'"their .return, every prominent mining, camp and business centre of Southern Kootenay, and will probably visit Spokane on ,the invitution of D. C. Corbin, of < the Spokane & Northern Ry. * The'local board of Trade' held a special meeting at'the? Victoria Hotel to receive'the visitors, when a conference and discussion on several subjects of importance, was had, which was participated in bv Col. Prior, M.P., David R. Ker, J. M. Kellie,. M-P.P., J. D. Sibbald 'and* otheis. Among the subjects up for discussion was the store car and the necessity for a "draw in the* new .Columbia , River bridge. Mr. Sibbald'explained that the store' car which operates between Donald and Kamloops does the local merchanjs a great' injustice. President Ker 'suggested, that they communicate with the coast boards of trade for co- 'operation, , -- In' discussing the bridge matter, Mr. J. M. Kellie, M.P,P., ' spoke * enthusiastically , about the Kootenay. He.expectedto see ������seven or eight milium dollars taken-out .next year, and"the output would go 'on-steadily increasing. ' The country north' of Revelstoke was fully as rich in mineral as that to. the 'south, but' lack of capital, and a freight rate of eight cents per pound on goods packed from Revelstoke north had been the means of keeping back development. The ore from the north would likely be shipped to the first smelter south of Revelstoke, if there was not one here, and in either case a draw bridge would be a necessity. He assured the visitors that there were many surprises in store for them, and that they had a great deal to see in West Kootenay. Col. Prior was the, last speaker, after which, the session' closed, all feeling that they had mutually profited by the information imparted, and having formed the acquaintance. of many of the representative business men of the Province.' ��������� Three Years for Forgery. After 25 years service in Her Majesty's -army���������having reached the highest, grade of non. com.' officer, and received an,honorable discharge, W. K. Jamieson was, on Monday last, sentenced to three years imprisonment for having obtained money by a forged order. Jamieson is 32 years old and is well-known along the line, having lived here for some years. His story, as told by him to His Honor Judge Spinks,, is not new, 'tis the story of many a good man before him, and may be summed up in a word���������whiskey. He had cultivated the appetite for strong drink until it become an uncontrollable ���������passion, to satisfy which he would do almost anything. Some months ago he comnmled his pension, since 'which time he has'scarcely known* a sober day. Jle pleaded guilty lo the charge of having obtained $25 by forging a postscript to a-letter of which he was the benrer and appealed for clemency on the strength of his previous good character; it,was the iirst olience he had ever been charged with. Considering all the * circumstances the court refrained from imposing extreme penalty provided for offences. >' < the such Tenders' Called- For. ' The railway authorities have, called for tenders* for/the grading, etc., on the Arrow lake extension, and the contracts are to be awarded on Monday, when Sup't. Abbott will be here for that purpose. It is said that the work-will be let out in small sections so as to" complete it as soon as possible. Ajiumber of contractors, have been around town 'during the week, among whom were D. McGillivray, W. S. Nichol and HnghKeefer.of Vancouver; W. F. Tye, Spokane; andtl. C. Henry, Seattle.

Osving to the w.OeT falling so rapidly in the river the steamer Nakiwp made her last, trip of the season to the smelter wharf.

' The Central Lumber Company, just incorporated hi California, is the name 'of'afliimboi* combine formed, it is said, to enable its members to compete with the lumbermen of this Piovince. They saj: that combination of interests has become imperative because of the. depressed condition of the "trade. Discussing the subject, one of their number, D. H. Bibb, of the Golden Gate Lumber Company, said: "We have been talking about this combination for over two years. The competition of British Columbia is too much for us. The Canadian lumberman has every*advantage on his side. He does not need to buy his timber, he merely leases it from the government and pays for his logs as be takes them out The importation of British Columbia lumber is steadily growing larger and larger. American mills have been forced to shut down, wages have been reduced, and for three years lumber has been sold for less than cost in San Francisco. We cannot compete with British* Columbia, and we, must rely tipon increasing our foreign trvde bv establishing new markets in China, Japan, Australia and elsewhere. I do not see that the combination can raise prices locally, and if it did it would be aq good thing, for it would mean living wages for the laborer and a better condition of business all around. There is no field in which Labor finds moie employment, fcroui the^monTeiit we begin work in the forest to the time the cut/ lumber is AN EXPORT DUTY ON ORE. . _ J. M. Kellie Says Legislation in this Direction,is a Necessity. Editor ' Mail -.���������Every month * the output of the mines of VSTest Kootenay is rapidly increasing and there is no question but in a few years it will . assume gigantic pioportions. The working of and transportation of the ��������� product of our gold,' silver,'- lead and ���������' coppei-j reefs will give employment to a large army of miners and laborers. At present nearly all t be ore produced, ��������� in the district is being smelted and refined in' ' a foreign country���������the product of the Pilot Bay smelter excepted." To develop-our 'mines-we rei-uiieo capital, and that necessary adjunct should be welcomed fiom every country uud<-r the sun. We owe it to ourselves and in the interests of the province that,prompt steps be taken by Legislative enactment to have the output of our mines reduced in smelting works erected north of the foity- nintli parallel. The smelting of our ' enormous deposits of mineral should , be restricted from treatment in a foreign country by an export duty' on o ore. This may be considered a drastic measure but it is the only solution of , ' the problem.r The mines are being chiefly'opened up* by foreigners. So long as no' legislative restrictions .- prevent the export of ores, so long will - the output of our mines be reduced in foreign territory .and the benefits accruing from the employment > of capital iind labor in the reduction and" it-fining of our ores-will increase; the wealth, trade "and" prestige of the" country that receives our products for., treatment. ,;jt'may'be said that an export duty on ore is drastic legislation ' and would have a tendency' to cripple , ' development and retard the -invest- ment of capital; nothing of the kind, no foreigner has ever1 invested money - in developing our mines, from any,,- , othermotive than.procuring advantage,:' and " the same' motive will - induce capitalists to erect smelters north of the international line. ���������Care can -he taken that ample time be given' after ���������the enactment of an export.duty on 7 %i"e for the construction of'smelters, so* that the development of our' mines it ��������� not hampered for smelting facilitie*. Itjjjust be patent to' every mac irho gives this question'due conwderstJ-Mt' that the reduction 'of drr otto ��������� ore-? ,, , within the Province will build apUM^ ' - smelting centres and give erupto/aae*-*** to thousands of additional wbrkmeai This will stimulate trade, ���������enhaii.ee sS>0 value of realty, increase the iwve*������*a*, give an enlarged market for , figrir cultural products and an irnpetua to , every industry in the Province.

Thera should be but one form of this name in use 'throughout the northwest. Which shall it bei"-,** ' : 7 "Jbis is the first inkling we ha-re had,' says Spokane Outburst, 'that tho coining mining convention had <*ho power to change the name of a country. No doubt it would bo better il the British Kootenay and the . Americ&Q Kootenai were spelled alike but ��������� we doubt very much if the Canadian govl er-nment will consent to' have its name of any of its domain changed even by the convention, and surely the people of Kootenay, in Idaho, will not consent to a change in the spelling of the name of their country."���������Ex. t all in- which The Advent of the Tinhorn.

JBl3k J&rV-ft THE KOOTENAY, MAIL. THE CLEVER WIDOW. CHAPTER IX.���������(Co>-TixnED.) ' He looked at her and hesitated. "How like your poor dear mother,you are, Clara ! ' he cried. ' "As I looked at you then iS'Waa as if ahe had come back from the grave. He stooped toward her and 'kissed her. "There, run away to your BiBter, my dear, and, do cot trouble yourself about me. Nothing ia settled yet, but you will find - that all will come right." ��������� Cltra want upstairssad at heart, for ahe was sure now that what she had feared was indeed about to come to pass, and that her father was going to take Mrs. Westmacott to be hie wife. In her pure and earnest mind her mother's memory was enshrined as that of a saint, and the thought that auy one should take hor place eeemed a terrible desecration. Even worse, however, did this marriage appear when looked at from the point of view of her father's future. The widow might fascinate him by her knowledge of .the world, her dash, her strength, her uucouventiouality���������all these qualities Clara was willing to allow her��������� but she was convinced that she would be unendurable as a life companion. She had como to an'age when habits are not lightly to������bo ohanged, nor was she a woman who whs at all likely to attempt to change them.' How would a sensitive manlike her father stand the constant strain of such a wife���������a woman who ,was all deci3ion������ with no softness,1 and nothing , soothing' in her nature ? It passed as a mere eccentricity when they heard of herstoutdriuking, ' her cigarette smoking.her occasional whins at a long olay pips, her horsewlnpping'of a drunken servant and her companionship with the snake Eliza, whom she was in the habit of bearirig about in her pocket. All this would become unendurable to her father when his first infatuation was past. For his own*sake, then, as well as for her mother's'memory, this match must be pre-, 'vented. 'And yet how powerltss she was to prevent it ! What could she do? Could Harold aid her? Perhaps.* Or Ida? At least she would tell.lier sister,' and .see what,-she could suggest. Ida was in her boudoir, a tiny little tapestried loom, as neat ami daiuty as he-self, with low walls hung with Imari placques, and with pretty little Swisa brackets, bearing blue ,Kaga ware, or the pure white Coalport chhi'u. In a low chair, beneath a red-shaded atomling lamp,' bhl Ida,, in a. diaphanous 'evening dress of mousseline ile soie, the'ruddy light tinge- lng her'sweet, child-tike face and plowing on her golden curls'. She sprang up as her* and'thac, as far as possible, 'every woman should qualify herself for some trade or profession, choosing tor preference those which have been hitherto been monopolized by men. To enter, the others would only be to intensify the present competi- 'tion." "Quite so. That is glorious!" Her blue eye3 were dancing with mischief, and she clapped her hands in her delight. " What else ? She thinks that whatever a man can do a woman should be allowed to do also���������does she not?"' , - " She says so.'\ ��������� "And about dress? The short skirt and the divided skirt'are what she believes in?"' " Yes." ; " We must gel. in some cloth." "Why?" , , '" We must make ourselves a dress each. A brand-uew, enfranchised, emancipated dress, dear. Don't you see my plan? We shall act up to all . Mrs. Westmacott's views in every respect, and improve them when we can. Then papa will know what it is to live with a woman who claims all her rights. Oh, Clara, it will be splendid !" , , , ' r 1 Her milder sister satspeechlesa before so daring ascheme. " But ic would be wrong, Ida !'* she cried at lust. ' ' "Not a bit. It is to save,him." *'I should not dare." ; "Oil, yes, you would. Harold will help. Besides, what other plan have you ?" " I have none." " Their you must take mine." " Yes. Perhaps you are right. Well, we do it for a good motive.'* " You will do'it?" " I do not see any other way." " ��������� " You dear, good Clara ! Now I will show you what you are to do. r\Vo must not���������bugin too suddenly. It might excite suspicion." , , " What would you do, then ?" " To-morrow we must go to Mrs. West- macott aud sit at her ' feet' and learn all her views," . " What hypocrites we shall feel!" " We shall be her -newest and most enthusiastic converts. Oh, it will be such fun, Clar'i ! Then we shall make our plans and send for what wo want, and begtu our new life." ' "I do hope that we shall not have to keep it up long. It sepins so cruel to dear papa." " Cruel ! To save him !" " I jvish I was sure that wo were doing right. And yet what else can we do ? Weil, then dear Ida, the die ia c<iat,and we will call upon Mrs, Westmacott to-morrow. " ���������* , * 'sister entered and threw her arms around her, "Dear old Clara !

" You quite frightened me, dear," said she'. "You can't, think how solemn yourlook. What is it, then ?" "I believe that papa intends to ask Mrs. West macott to marry him." Ida burst out laughing. " What- can have put such a notion into your head, Cl**.��������� V "It is only too true, Ida. 1 suspected itl before, and he himself almost told me as much with his own lips to-night.

' Little did poor Dr. Walker imagine as he sat at his< breakfast table next morning that the two sweet girls who sat on'either side of him wore deep in a conspiracy, aud that ' he, munching innocently at his muffins, was the victim against whom their wiles were planned.

" Well, because she is so advanced, you know. It wo only study her ways' we may a ivauco ourselves also."

See, what the book says : 'The scientific mind takes nothing upon trust. Prove all things.' I have proved that." " You certainly have. Well, until breakfist is ready I'll glance over the Times. Have you seen it ?" " The Times ? Oh dear me, this ia it whioh I have under my spirit lamp. I am afraid there is some acid upon that, too, and it ia rather damp and torn. Here it is." , ' _ The doctor took the bedraggled paper with a1 rueful face. , , "Everything aeems to be wrong, to-day," he remarked: " What is this sudden enthusiasm about chemistry, Ida ?" "Oh, I am trying to live up to' Mrs. Westmacott's teaching." _' ' ' " Quite right !��������� quite right !" said he, though perhaps with leas heartiness than he had shown the day before. " Ah, here ia breakfast at last." But nothing was comfortable that morning. ' There were'eggs without eggspoons ; toast which was leathery {from being kept, dried-up rashers and grounds in the collee. Above all, there was that dreadful smell, which pervaded everything, aud gave a horrible twang.to every mouthful. "I don't wish to put.a damper upon your studies, Ida," said the doctor, as ,ho pushed back his chair.

"But Mrs. Westmacott says that women should rise early, and do their work before breakfast," ��������� ,, "Then ihey ahould choose some other room besides the breakfast-room." The doctor was becoming just a little ruffled. A turn in the open air would soothe him, he thought. " Where are my boots?'' he asked. ' But they were not in their accustomed corner by his chair. ��������� Up and down he searched, while the three servants took up the quest, stooping "and peeping under book-Cise3 and drawers. Ida had returned to her studies,and Clara to her blue-covered volume, sitting absorbed and disinterested amid the bustle and the racket. , At last a general buzz of congratulation announcod that the cook' had discovered the boota hung up among the hats in the hall.

Charles Westmacott was hoeing at the other sido, of the garden fence"; < "Good-morning, sir," said Ida. "Good-morning !" The big man leaned upon his hoe aud looked up at her. "Have you auy cigarettes, Charles?" - "Yes, certainly." 1 "Throw me.up two." ~ " > "Here is my case. Can you catch ?" ��������� A sealskin case came with a soft thud on to the floor, Ida opened it.

"'And Iknowthe fog signals. One blast means that a ship steers to starboard, two to port, three astern, four that it is unmanageable.

"I can't imagine what has come over you both," said he. " My dear papa, we are trying hard to live up to Mrs. Westmacott's standard." " Well,'I must a'ay that I do not admire the rosult. Your chemistry, Ida, may perhaps do no harm ;r but your scheme, Clara, is out of thc question; How a girl of your sense could ever entertain such a notion is more than I can imagine. But I must absolutely forbid you- to go further with it." i "But, pa," asked Ida, with an air of innocent inquiry in her big blue eyes, "what are we to do when your commands and Mis.

The doctor flushed, and his grizzled hair bristled iii his anger. "Certainly. She says that all heads of houses aro relics of the Dark Ages." ��������� The doctor muttered something, and stamped his foot upoD the carpet.

The'Duke of Wellington happened to pass with Colonel Freeman tie and Lord A.

Colonel Tynling, a few-days afterward, received a reprimand from Wellington for allowing''' his dandy officers to carry umbrellas in tho face of the enemy, his lordship observing that "Tl.e Guards may in uniform, when on duty at St. James's carry them if they please ; but in the field it is not only ridiculous, but unmilitary.' YOIWQ^FOLKS. He Ran Too Fast. Grandpa Bromley owned a little black pony whioh was a source of much pleasure to hia little granddaughter Grace. -Papa Bromley's horses were all so largo, and when she was at grandpa's visiting he often allowed her to drive a little with her own hands, much to her delight. * Papa considered Gracie too small to drive, for ahe was only six years old, but grandpa said she drove nicely, or would when she was older. ,y She handled, the reins well now, and he-guessed when she grew to be a 'big girl he would .have to give her the pony. Gracie talked about it a great deal. One day when she and mamma drove over to visit grandma, she was surprised to find a little horse much smaller than the pony running loose in grandpa's dooryard. " O 1 mamma ! mamma ! she exclaimed, " there's juat such a, little horse as I've been wanting 1 I do believe grandpa got it for me." Gracie could hardly, wait till grandpa came into the house to ask him about it. " Why, I thought you wanted tho ponj., You couldn't drive the colt," answered grandpa, i . , " Oyes, I could," repliod Gracie.' " He is so cunning, I want him for my very own.'! ,. -,, , Grandpa said he would see about it, aud told Gracie to get'sjme sugar and they would go out'tosee the colt: The little colt was very friendly aud ate the sugar from Grade's'hand., Then grandpa said they must make the pony a visit, or he would feel slighted, but somehow the pony did not seem as,',interesting as usual f������r Gracie was thinking,of the'colt nil the time. But Gracie forgot all about the colt when grandma called them to supper, aud as she ran through the dooryard, in her hurry to get there before grandpa, tho colt, thinking she was playiug with him, started after hor, and; how they both did run. But Gracie got to the door first and ran plump, into grandma's - outstretched arms, crying, " I don't want the colt! J'd rather have the pony ! Him runs so fast!" ' , ���������'. , '��������� ' ' ' The colt tried to follow Graeie' right into the kitchen and graudma'had to push him irom tho'doorslep and close tho door in order to keep him out. Gracie lookedout of'the window lo see if he had gone away, but there he stood waiting, and" nothing would induce, Graeio to open the door or go out in the yard,while the oolt was there, though grandpa told her that the colt was only trying to play with her.

A Candid Fact. The Talking: Dog. ��������� , 'There was once a ventriloquist,so poor that he was obliged to travel on foot from town to town to savo .expense, much after tho manner of tho gentleman of adventure iu Grimm's tales.' Ono day he was joined on,the road by a, dog as'forsaken as 'him* self, but who seemed desirous of becominc* his companion. ' Thty'jourued together to tho next town, and entered the tavern tired, hungry and penniless.' Not being troubled with the inconvenient refinement which conies from a oug line of gentle ancestors, the man had developed the quality known as cheek, >ao he and tho dog s.it down to eat a supper for winch they could not pay. Tho room was full of loungers, and the stranger took a conspicuous seat. _ "What will you have ?" asked lhe only waiter tho place employed ; and the order embraced nearly everything on the bill of fare:1 "But. 1 want something for my dog, too," he added. "Ask him what he will have." The waiter muttered something about, "Watcher giving us," so the stranger said, "What, don't you like to ? Well, Bruno, will you hu vc boot" or fish '" ** "Beef, every time," said Bruno, looking with mild brown'eyes at tho waiter. "And what to drink ?" , ."Water, thauk you," said Bruno.' By tins time the landlord and every ono in lhe place were eager with suppressed wonder,'and gathered about to hear a dog talk. - o The ventriloquiatfeigned indillference by eating with avidity, while the landlord was evidently consideringsomething. His cog. itation resulted in his oiieriug tlie stranger three hundred dollars for his wonderful taking dog." . The ventriloquist appeared to hesitate a moment,'then said abruptly, " Yes, you may have him for three hundred dollars." . When the money was paid and the ventriloquist was about to leave, he turned to the dog, patted him affectionately and'said, " Good bye, old fellow, you've been a good friend to me." ��������� ' '.' You are no no friend of mine," returned tho dog, "to sell me to another iraster. As you were mean enough to serve nie such a trick, I'll have revenge. I'll never speak another word as long as I live." The ventriloquist then made off with all possible haste. ODD HAPPENINGS IN EUROPE.

I hava no hesitation in recommending it to anyone wno desiiea a novelty, writes' a correspondent. , It might be imagined that all (these i. people gathered together for purely business purposes, and occupied with no other considerations thau those of cheap purchase and dear,'sale, . would have small idea of dissipation. This, however, is very far from being ' the case. The great annual fair iB looked upon by the Kussiaus as the onegreat ojcasion for excitement and the lavish expenditure of money. Like most people unaccustomed to be extravagant, they will do this in the most foolish way, obtaining a minimum of entertainment for a maximum of roubles. , ��������� Their only way of calculating amusement is by the amount of money it costs. As long us they succeed iu making something of riu unusual display they do not mind the cost. They will give their horses buckets of'best champagne, light their j .<��������� cigars with bank notea aud throw all,their jewelry and,all the money they may.have about them to a music tiall singer whose voice and figure happen to take their fancy. Tney are all unusually hard drink, ers' and it is needless to add that most of these' exploits are credited to them when ���������'they are well ln'tneir cups. As an instance of Russian ' ostentation and extravagance the following narrative ��������� is very interesting : While at the fair iu ' '93 1 made many friends amongtho rich merchant'princes. I was treated royally, and shall never torget my iirat introduction to a live fair dinner to which I wasinvitea. .-.,���������, , a merchant's dixxkr party-. Among other things, I was'discussing i with a rich merchant the merits of Russian ' pork compared with oura.and naturally held that the latter was much finer, aud served in better style for the table. The Russian' ' could not verbally convince me tn the contrary, so ho invited nie to dinner the next , day, saying : '��������� '<,''' " I'll show you how, to serve pork ; and what's more, I'll teach you how we eat and amuse ourselves at the fair." - , Imagine a thick-set, heavy Muscovite * with" apowerful and finely developed chest', , broad shoulders and a long patriarchal beard ; long coat reaching to within twelve ���������* inches of the<ground, his top boots worn ���������, over the trousers, "and you will have the picture of my host. ��������� t At the appointed hour and place I found a'uarty of ten'nssembied in response lo my , host's invitation. We were all seated' at our table in"the large public dining hall of one of the many hotels. At one end of the hail was a , small stage wilh a piano ; - at 'the other a' huge ' organ of ' almost cathedral si/.e, let into the wall,*- This is woundup after the fashion of a , musical box and plays marches, .national airs,and operatic'selections during, certain intervals in theeveniug, while the stage is occupied between'times by chansonettes of all nations who sing 'iu their' native 'languages./ ' 1 ' ' l'KlS-OELY TIP3. / These ' chausonettes receive from .the hotel keeper only their board and lodging; after her turn the chansouette goes around aud makes a collection. The money thus > collected iB for herself, and if she,is pretty and has a tine voice she can, during tne month of 'the fair,. make a small fortune, judging by ths amount my host, Ivan Yasilijewitch Popov, gave away during the evening to all the chansonettes. One of them got a crisp 100 rouble note (S50), and the remainder must have obtained about 130,making in all '_\30 roubles ($125). The Russian dinner itself is usolid aud lengthy'a'dair 'and is always 'preceded by , the "zakuska"or appetizer. This ceremony consists of picking amorsel here and there, and washing theseveral morselsdown with' two oi* three glasses ot wodki. These '"zakuskas" consist of a mass of dishes ranged on a separate sideboard and containing all kinds of delicacies such as - anchovies, done up in various ways, sardines, shrimps, prawns, lobsters, hen lugs, salmon, salads of all kinds, mm slices of sausage, cucumbers, caviar and countloss other viands which cover the whole of ihe ' long sideboard. A HOG- ROASTED WHOLE. , Having gone through our preliminary canter, we started oil al a fair pace, which we kept up all the way through from 6 o'clock until midnight. Bur. the moment that was lo crown all was evidently approaching, for I noticed great pieparations being made'and the middle of tho table was being cleared of all superfluous dishes, ornaments, etc. At a given signal the host arose, and what waa my amazement to see an immense hog, weighing at least 300 pounds, brought in on a silver diah,roasted whole, Then followed my host's speech, the substance of which was a worthy effort to prove that^'RiissiauB know how to eat, drink and spend their time." L After dinner���������or, rather, after midnight ���������wo retired to a private room, and here the real fun' began. Each hotel has its band of gypsies���������eight or ten handsome girls and three or four men���������who sing wild gypsy songs, intermingled with barbaric screams and cries. They also dance strange dances of their own. But there are certain romances that you must call upon tho women to sing���������soIt,plaintivo melodies that bring tears to your eyes. An hour's entertainment of this kind will cost your host from loO to 2">0 roubles ; there ia no fixed charge, aud the gypaies never make their price ; they .know tho liberality of the Russian. ' The whole idea of the gypsy entertainment is an absurd one. It is conceivable that in the r own country, with appropriate surroundings, their melodies might have some piquancy and interest; but to see these "wild children of the air" cooped up within four walls, singing their national airs, all impregnated with "freedom" and '���������liberty," becomes almost grotosque. wodki and pickled cucumbers. I have seen many a man brought round by this "reviver," to begin again in another place. When " the boat gets lively he begins breaking the furniture, playing Aunt Sally with the crockery, dancing on the piano and upsetting the waiter wilh an overloaded tray. He will smash all the mirrors in the house, and finally upset the table with all the plates, dishes, bottles, etc,3 on it. This concludes the evening's entertainment. He will then ask "for the damages." , PAYIKG THE DAMAGES. When the bill is brought in he carefully reads over every, item aloud, aud makes comments upon 'each, something in this way: ' 'f'Fifty bottles of champagne, 500 roubles. Ah 1 jea ; it was capital���������the luest I ever tasted ! That's right \ ^ " Five bottles oi Boda water, 50 kopecks. What! 10 kopecks a bottle of soda ? Exorbitant ! Preposterous !

The merchant very seldom'goes to bod before'4 or .**��������� o'clock in the morning, and gets up at 9 o'clock, to commence business. At 5 or 6 in the afternoon he finishes his business, aud recommences" the same life over again.

Uses of the Green and Purple Plum. , The plum, although not so popular or so healthful as its' sister peach, is an attractive and delicious dessert fruit, when in perfection, while its rich flavor' commends it for puddings, pies and conserves. , English plum tart is a'favorite dish wilh our cousins over the water. 'Either blue plums or ripe green gages are used. When stemined'and Stoned fiU'with them a shallow-pudding dish, sprinkle well with sugar and cover'with a rich'pie, "cr'ast, cutliug'.slits in the pastry that the steam may escape.

' j Preserved Greengages.���������Of. all varieties the little round greengage is perhaps" the best liked for doing up. They are of course never skinned, but for preserving should be 'pricked, with a needle. The usual allowance of 1 lb of sugar and 1' pint of water 'to each lb of fruit' is used, The water aud sugar are boiled together until clear, all scum being skimmed carefully off as it rises to the surface. When translucent drop in the plums, putting in only as many at a time as the kettle will'conveniently hold,* and cook for 20 minutes. ,Tako out aud lay on platters to cool. 'Proceed thus with each kettleful until all are done, when pack iu smo.ll cans, pour the boiling syrup over them and sea).

Add A lb sugar for each pound and cook gently for an hour lonaeror until of the proper consistency. Can while hoc in small receptacles. 'Plum jelly is nice and is'rather uncommon. Place the plums in a colauder and pour boiling water over them. Then put m a preserving kettle with just sufficient water to cover them and boil until quite soft and all the juice is extracted. Pour off the liquid, strain it and set back on the fire to cook. Weigh out 1 lb of sugar for every pint of juice and spread it on ahallow pans set- ini-tho oven. Let it heat until the liquid has boiled 20 minutea, when add it to the mixture and stir constantly until ill ia dissolved. Remove at once from tho fire and fiil bowls or glasses that have been immersed in hoi water to prevent breaking. Lay rounds of paper dippod in brandy on top and seal up securely; ��������� Piekled Damsons.���������This recipe, secured from an old housekeeper, is for damsons, but other plums may be used by scanting the quantity of sugar if thoy are of a Bweeter variety. To 10 lbs of damsons take 5 lbs of sugar," 2J pints vinegar, 1 table- spoonful of cloves, and S small sticks of, cinnamon. Boil ' all together for fifteen minutes. Remove the fruit and boil the syrup quarter ot an hour longer. Put up the same as preserves. Hints. Vaseline makes the best dressing for russet shoes. ' Soft newspaper is excellent to cleanse wiudowa or any glasswaie. Spirits of turpentine is tho thing with which to cleanse and brighten patent leather.

To keep tortoise-shell oombs bright rub them after each wearing with 6oft leather. When they become dim, clean with rotten stone and oil applied with chamois. Rubber can ritgs which havo become hardened can be made pliable and elastic by soaking them fifteen to thirty minutea in two parts of water and one ammonia. Sometimea-there are ridges iu the glass which prevent cans being hermetically sealed with rubber rings ; apply over the place a little putty or a cold paBte of flour and water.

Tills Handy anil Cheap Cabinet Should Be Iu Every Home. This cabinet can be easily made by anyone who can handle tools at all, is very neat in appearance and handy in application, and costs almost nothing to build. As will be seen in the illustrations, it folds against the wall of the kitchen, when not in use, being" fastened in position by an ordinary "spring bolt.

Variety in Diet. A number of facts conspire to throw a somewhat new light on questions of dietetics, or at least to show that these problems are more complex than they have been by some supposed. It may be usual to. speak of a "mixed diet," meaning thereby one composed in part of'animal and in part of vegetable food, one containing proteids, fats and carbohydrates, approximately in such proportions as ihey are required by the organism ; but wheu we see the effect upon disease produced by very small quantities of certain selected portions of animals commonly used as foo 1, such as thyroid gland, suprarenal gland aud bone marrow, the suspicion arises that these are but "the more pionounced expressions of a widespread principle, and that such marked differences in therapeutic effect between certain organs may be associated >' with similar differences in nutritional value between the various portions and kinds of meat which we consume. -Wo may surmise, (too, that the aiode* ,of preparation may have a considerable influence, and that while good cooking may be,as il should be, a preparation for unil an aid to digestion, certain processes iu'eooking may do much more harmj,6 the nutritional value of our food than is explained by the mere change in its physical* properties, the- hardness, muchness, etc., which tney produce.^ The destruction of the antiscorbutic' properties oi milk by condensing,' overcooking and sterilization is * case in, point, aud we commend to the British farmer the interesting question whether and how far .the prolonged freezing of meat may interfere witn its finer nutritional value. Healthy men,'who have a great reserve of digestive power, can'derive nutriment from almost any iood, but for people of feebler frame a mixed diet must mean one in which,vanety tof substance eviats of whose nature' and of whose differences inter ne we as yet know, nothin'g.' The healthy man/'by, taking plenty, finds among it what he wants, but until we kcow much more than we do of lhe���������vaiue of different foods and different modes of cooking, we must at least afford variety to our invalids, and, protect them from a'monotony in diet which may perchance be debarring them froni the ,ono thing needful for their nutrition. no, FOLDED. screws.^ Buy a small spring bolt and attich to the front after it is folded, as shown in Fig 2, and nail a block of wood on the front of the platform, to bring the foot a little above the surface so that the brush can be used conveniently. Place the open cabinet against tho wall at such a heignt that the platform is level, and fasten it with 2-inch Fcrows through the sides of the box. When in working order take'it off to be stained and varnished to suit. Drive nails or screws in the wall at the back'for hanging lhe utensils, leaving room for tho foot-block.

Injuries to the head may be divided into three classes : those which affect the scaln o *- ���������alone, those by which the skull ia -fractured, *and' those by which the brain itself is damaged to a greater or leas degree. Inasmuch .as the records of. the Civil ,,War, in which are accounts of thousands of cases, are in favor of stitching all soalp wounds,1 they receive a doctor's 'care as soon as possible, , A3 a rule, injuries to the' scalp, if carefully looked after, will repair at once, -but if neglected they are exceedingly difficult of nrunugoment.. If the_ injury is extensive, the hair should be removed'for 'a short distance around, and a clean .cloth soaked in icowater should be placed over the^-part while waning for the physicinu, " , Since shock may accompany the slightest injury to any part of the body,-it is difficult to say at once whether a patient, in a condition of collapse from a heaa'wound, is suffering from a fracturo of the skull, with pressuro of the fragments upon tho brain,or has sustained'simply a'concussion. As a rule, however, cases of extensive fracture aro attended by a more profound degree ot colhpse than those of simplo concussion. The patient is totally insensible to everything, even to the utmost efforts made to arouse him.' Fractures of the base of the skull, which are almost invariably fatal, may be at-' tended with bleeding from' the ears aud nose or mouth. , In all injuries to the head, the patient should be kept in a state ot complete quiet. Iced water should be kept constantly about the head, and the room should be soniewh.it darkened. Trie diet should be low in proportion to^ the severity of lhe case,but always nourishing. The head should be elevated, placed upon rather firm pillows instead of soft ones. The dressing about the head should be just enough to support and protect the wound from draughts of cold, without being heating. ' ��������� No injury to the head, however slight, should be regarded as unimportant, since almost any such injury is liable to b*) com- phuued with mischiet to the brain. For this reason every wound of the head should receive careful attention at the hands of a competent physician. * . A Strain on the Eyes. ��������� One of the common causes .of pain above, the brows is the .overuse of the ej es and the strain of accommodation in constantly looking at near objects. In ils traiiMcnt form it may bo familiar to some as the result of a visit to a picture gallery ; it is oven more readily excited and permir.ently established among the children at the board schools, and the girls at the high schools. Seventy-two per .cent, of tne children of to-day are said to be sufferers from defective eyesight, generally in the direction of difficulty in seeing near objects clearly. Heidaehe is almost always present in the cases of the poor lutle creatures, whoso bodies are statvod while their,minds aro overfed iii the scramble for educational grants. ( The ocular headache is often co-existent with the anaemic headache, especially in growing girls ; here we find frontal or Burpraorbital pain, duo to eye strain associated with the vertical piin felt ull over the top of tho nead, which is characteristic * ot bloodleasnt'ss. Plontv of wholesome food ,fresh air, and out-of-door exorcise will help to combat the anaemia ; whilo the practice of looking at diatant objeolB, ami, alas ! the use of appropriate spectacles, may relieve the headache of eyo-strain ; but reading, writing, and sewing will permanently damage the sight, so that for the sake of education, and in tho struggle for life, tho coining race is growing up purblind.

There has been a vast change since, though the hunting is still probably the best to be found in any civilized part of the globe.

In the west, in the Kalahari Desert, and the lowlands of the east const, the sable antelope, the roan antelope, the \ i-ii gemabok, the elund, the wildebeest, and the giraffe are still found. The antelope, the zebra, the Cape buffalo, the lion, the rhinoceros, the leopard, the hyena, and, at times of migration, the elephant, -.re found in the valley of the Zambesi. The most accessible hunting grounds are in the east and northeast of the Tr:in*vaal Republic, the Portugeeso territory" alonst tho Pungwe Iii^er, the country north and northwest of Fort Salisbury and the Kala, . hari Desert.'

The hollow bullet is-u-'bart thing to carry if the hunter is looking for dangerous game, and all gui!h must bo especially strong in lhe stock. "The humors drive' into the game country with' a,tent-wagon * and a team of froni'sixteon to eighteeuoxen. A water cart is a good.ihmg to take along, especially in the Kalahari desert.

The natives say there are thiee sorts of lions in South Africa���������the white, the red,' aud tho gray necked���������tho last being the most savage. But natuialists do not make these -distinctions. The full, growu lion is about-twelve teet from the tip of .the nose to tho end of the tail, and weighs from 400 to 500 pounds. He should be shot between the eye^s orxlose to the looi of the tail. It iB said that the shoulder shot, even though it pierce the heart, does not always prevent ( ' THE I*AT.\L Sl'lll.y), A shot lhat broaks the shoulder is disab line ' ' The leopard is usually, called the tiger in South Africa. Both he and the cheetah, often confused with the leopard, are fine game for the hunter, but tho cheetah,being easily killed'is. almost extinct save in Central Africa" The elephant is practically extinct tor the purposes of the hunter south of the Kiver Limpopo, and nearly so soutn of the Zambesi, save on the east coast along the Puugwo River. ��������� It is sit icily protected iu the Transvaal and further south. ' Mining operations have driven the elephants from the Kuyaa region, as thc creatures particularly deteBt the noise ef blastmi!, as indeed any other loud or sharp sound. When thoy occasionally uespasB on South African roads they can be driven off by tho crack of a whip. The South African elephant can seldom bo killed by the forehead shot, for he lacks the soft spot there mat makes lhat the*, falal shot for the Asiatic elephant. . ( The white rhinoceros, recently thought ��������� to he extinct, is still found occasionally in .Mashonaland, Zululand, and tho Zambesi Valley. Several wero shot in thoBe parts last year. The black rhinocoros has the same habitat as the'.elephant, but is extremely hard io find. The hippopotamus is still found neat tho mouth of the Orange River in Cape Colouy, in the const streams, of Zululand, and plentifully in tho streams of Portuguese South Africa, in tho remoter parts of Mashonaland, in the upper waters of the Zambesi, and in Lake 'Ngami. The fatal Btiots are beneath the eye and behind the ear, Giratfe9 are found in the north oi tho Transvaal, though rarely, and in Matabeleland. They are found in great numbers in the drye't and most remote parts of tho Kalahari Desert, where,' with a good hoise, they may be riddeu down. 1������ He Deserved Lynching..

IL UUNi iMI * V THE GREAT,YACHT RACE- ^^ i* Defender Wins the First, Race, is Given the Second, and Goes Over the Course Alone for the Third. ��� No event in the history of the sport has ever exceeded the interest shown ' in the first race of the 1S95 series for America's dip, sailed' off New \ork lust Saturday. Since the Vigilant defeated the Valkyrie in 1SA3 the international contest hiw been kept well in uiirnl and the enthusiasm displayed was merelv the outcome oi the pent- up feeling of'the past year or two. The course was 15 miles to windward and return. A *->pl��i��lM >tart was had, ,tli'e Valkvrie crossing the line lour bei-hii(K ahead of Defender, and it was nip and tuck from the first signal gun to within a Khorl ilislanc-e of the mark. Then Defender caught the bree/.e and to thedelightof lliecountlessthousands of sp.-ct-ilors, simply sailed away from her rival. She went on increasing her lead from that moment .and won by 8 minutes and -10 seconds. , < THE SECOND BACK. The only effect of the defeat on Sat- " urday was to make the Britishers more determined to win when the second race was called on Tuesday. It was a- do-or-die case and for the first time, m the history of American yachting an English boat showed' the way at the" finish to a'cup-deiendbr. rt" was the Valkyrie's race by 47 seconds. But the Defender had sailed under protest, ' claiming to have been crpwded at the start by hei*.opponent to'which was attributed the loss of her topmast. Before thc cup ' committee Defender made her protest' stick and was awarded tho race. < 1 THE THIRD RACK, which was sailed on Thursday, proved a regular fiasco.' Valkyrie had pro- ' tested against the- crowding of excursion craft about the shirting line At the first two races, and, owing to the outcome of the second race, Dun- raven notified the committee that he would not race her again if the interference, thus occasioned could not be 'suppressed. Consequently, when the ' gun was fired for the third event, Val- 'kyrie went over the line to give Defender a start and then turned back, " lowered her canvas, and was taken m Ko her moorings Defender sailed over thc course alone and was aw aided the trophy. ' The result, has caused geat dissatisfaction both in Europe and -'America. The consensus of opinion, even in England, appea * to be that Defender^ a faster.boat than Valkyiie. ��� ' ��o '.

Central Railway. ., Since the recent speed performances of the English west coast and east coast railroad between London and Aberdeen, which showed the remarkable feat of covering 540 miles in 538 minutesj officials of the New "York Central have been studying the figures. The best long distance .run in, the United States was made byj.be Empire state express over the New York Central-in 1S91 when 436i miles were covered in 439i minutes," while the actual time was nearly fifteen minutes less. fThis train has kept up a remarkable rate of speed in its daily 'runs ever since and notwithstanding the Atlantic'coast line,and Southern have both created recordb'in long distance running, ther-' Central's' phenomenal time isregarded as unrivalled for the distance cotered. William Buchanan, superintendent of motive power of the New York Central, | stated he had' demonstratedthe'feasibility of .reducing the present running time of the flyer between New York and Buffalo, and tho officials of the road decided to make the attempt. , ' Accordingly, on Wednesday morning last, a train consisting of a'combination smoking and baggage car, two coaches and the private car Marquita, the total weight of which is 358,310 pounds, was made up at the Grand Central depot, New York, and pulled out .'it "):-10.30.
