JAS. MARSHALL - - ; PROPRIETOR ' ' Mining at. Chilli wack. Mining activity .is growing around Chilli wack, says the Progress, and forty-eight-miner's licenses have been issued there this year. There is no doubt there are lots of minerals in'the hills in the neighborhood of Chilliwack and Harrison and that they have scarcely been prospected ot all. Tf the prospectors iu this locality had n little more faith or "make a break" spirit of their American friends to the south of the boundary .line many fortunes ere this would have been, made. It is reported that plumbago has been discovered on the Hanison, and gold, silver, copper, lead aud iron ou the Ved- der and Chilliwack mountains. Tnese metals cannot be picked up without the expenditure of time and money, but aiiiplo recompense awaits the persevering prospectors and operators in the near future. ���������TEMPERANCE is all right if shorn of hutnbuggcry.

He induced lier to go"to "Mexico" and promised to marry her.. She went but he failed to marry her and she left him. Miss Ramsay opened a lodging house in Victoria, and when Smith found her location, he called upon her and demanded some presents that he had given her yeais ago. She returned him the gifts and he then made proposals to her that she rejected with scorn. This maddened Smith and he proceeded to smash all the furniture in the house.

Norman, now editor of the Los Augeles Mining Review is writing in that paper stories about the early days of the Slocan. Writing about Kaslo, he speaks about the humor that was rampant iu the camp early in 1893. Graham was the only policeman, and on9 day when he was arresting a big Swede, Jack Lucy good- naturedly fired a rock at the cop and struck him in a tender spot. Graham was bound to arrest the man, so Lucy told him that it was Joe Davis. Of course Davis was innocent, but the crowd around Jack Ward's saloon convinced him' he had better leave town until the affair blew over, so he 'hiked np the road to Jim Sproul's Fifteen Mile House, and laid low for two weeks.- Then -simeone told him the true story and he flew back to Kaslo to annihilate his old friend Lucy for having played a practical joke upon him. He hit Ward's saloon like a Kansas cyclone, but the crowd kept him surrounded until he appreciated the joke aud bought the drinks for the house. When Burke's bank failed, Davis had all his money in it, and nothing doing so he followed Burke aud make him produce at the point of a gun. He was the only prospector that ever did get a cent back from tbe broken bank. Speaking of Jack Lucy, Norman Bays that he does not know where he is but supposes him to be chasing the rainbow somewhere iu Patagonia of'Tiinbuctoo. Sid. also promises' to tell, in a future iasue, how Lucy closed the only restaurant in Kaslo during the days of the panic in 1S93, when silver fell into the sump of low prices.

A representative of one of the big selling agencies is quoted .as saying: "I can see no reason why people should be bearish on copper on a 13' cent per pound basis. If the metal were selling for 16 cents per pound and the surplus on hand amounted to about 400.000,000 pounds of copper, as it now does, consumers would be justified in assuming a bearish attitude considering that it would require more funds to finance the surplus at this figure. The total copper stocks on hand at the present time are only equal to less than two months requirements. Copper is now selling at practically panic prices. It is the only commodity which goes into general consumption which has not reflected the prosperous condition of the country at large. I believe that the turn is due and that the metal will sell up to 14 and 15 cents per pound by next fall." - ..;.;.;.,. Would Not Tell. ; A colored woman presented herself the other day in an equal suffrage state at the place of registration to qualify for tho casting of her vote upon the school question at the next election, "With what party do you affiliate ?" inquired the clerk of the unaccustomed applicant, using the prescribed formula.

Lord p.rid Lady Dudley r.re. both extremely fond of nnirnnls and pets, and they have a canary which came into their possession in a decidedly curious fashion. Several years ago Lord and Lady Dudley spent an evening with a party of friends at a certain London variety theatre. One of the performances was that given by some Japanese jugglers, in one of whose tricks a pretty canary was employed, The canary appeared to be in a reckless mood this particular evening, and, escaping from its musters, fluttered away to nlight on Lady Dudley's lap. Lord Dudley, unable to resist the appeal, offered to buy it,, but the innnrurer of the theatre gallantly requested her ladyship to accept the bird as a memento of the evening. Lord Dudlev ingeniously constructed a temporary cage out of a program, and the canary was borne off in triumph to its new homo.

M G��������� who is reported to be in very weak condition at his home in Lon-" don, has never rallied from the. shock he'received by the death, a couple of years ago, of Lady Carling, Up to the time of Lady Ca'rling's death Sir, John retained a, well preserved and robust appearance and showed no di- %������ ��������� 'miniitioir- which -weie so conspicuous r,*na .jn him'during'his long.:Ministerial-career at Ottawa.

He recognized i his older friends with something like i the smile of old days;-but he was j clearly beyond taking any interest in ; the proceedings. It is related that Sir , John Macdonald once! described Sir John Carling as being "the kindest 'man and best fellow" he had ever known, in his Cabinet or out of it. - Sir John Carling was born near London, Ont., in January, 1828, his parents being natives of Yorkshire. I England. He sat in the old T egisla- ture of United Canada, from 1857 to 18C7, and in 1862 was appointed Receiver-General iifHrhe Carti'er-Macdon- ; aid Government. "'As during the time the legislation ' preliminary ( to Confederation" was luh'der discussion in the "old Legislature he was an active and influential member of that body. Sir John can be said to be one of the founders of Confederation. At Con- fedefation/M, had the honor of being elected . to.JThe House of Commons, and ajso to the Ontario Legislature. He served as Commissioner of Agriculture and Public Works in the Sand- field Macdonald (Ontario) Government,'from 1867 to 1871, and entered Sir John A. Macdonald's (Dominion! Government as Postmaster-General, -May, 23, 1882. He became Minister of Agriculture in 1885,"and retained the ^portfolio until the dissolution of- Sir "John Abbott's Ministry, in. 1892.'. The Uame year he was offered tlie appointment of Lieutenant-Governor of On- (tario, but he declined. ' 'A Skilful Retreat " -' ��������� - Jhin'gs hadn't turned out 'too -tfell with their lOve affair. The fatal" word had just been spoken, and he'was rejected. The rejected suitor stood respectfully before her, listening to her elaborate explanations of-her decis- -ion. Below, tho smooth waters- of Oriental bay rested in awesome wonder. "I trust I have made myself sufficiently plain," she said. "Well, I would scarcely go so 'far," he answered, as his courage gradually returned. "It's but fair to give nature the credit for that," he added as he retired in good order. v -Father of the Game Laws. " Periodically the game laws of Ontario and other provinces come under discussion and there is no doubt that J ^many imagine the movement to be a 'modern one.- The Quebec Telegraph, however, has of late been engaged in publishing commentaries based on the daily news of fifty years ago and states that the Hon. Col. Prince, a member of the old Parliament of Canada which used to meet .alternately at Toronto and Quebec ..was the father of the game laws. In 1860 he made a speech in support of legislation which '-he had already in past years been instrumental in placing upon the statute books and-calling for a further shortening of the season- during which - game might be killed. He made a very urgent appeal to Canadians to 'Lumber Shortage There is an alarming shortage of lumber in British Columbia and many mills are unable to cope' with the demand. The wholesale market is from $3 to $5 higher than this tiriie last year. This year's cut. of lumber will not be ready for shipment" until after July and the total output of Western Canadian mills will be the largest in history. DR, SHEARD AND SMALLPOX. Medical Health Officer Has No Fear the Dread Disease. . It was not the insolence of wealth that has made Dr. Sheard's figure -stand out in his" position as medical health office of Toronto in sharp sil- houtte against the dark background of ^lobbyists and log rollers inside and outside of the City Council.',.It-ha3 been rather',4 a certain strength thnt made itself known oftener in indifference to-convention, but whitfh could beHraced in many finer little acts of ���������heroism- rind courtesy if followed by -the careful eye. Dr.- Sheard has never ."worked" a salary increase for himself. But he fought tooth and nail for adequate remuneration for the under- i lings in his department���������and every man who worked for him at the City Hall got a plump turkey as often as Christmas came round. One bitter day in winter the health officer, called on his rounds at the Smallpox Hospital. There had been a -particularly virulent case of the disease, and the victim had died. The hospital staff at the time was short- handed, and there was nobody to lay the victim out���������she was a woman���������ex cept a-nurse and the ambulance driver. The body was in such a repulsive condition that these two had been driven from the room after raising the window in the vain hope of sterilizing the atmosphere by frigidity. The two explained the situation to Dr. Sheard. "All right," said he. "It's a horrible job and you only get "$15 a .week. Leave it to me." . _ ��������� " And,he entered the death-charnber, removed the frozen bedclothes from the body, closed the eyes of the corpse, straightened out her limbs .and arrayed the body decently for burial: - "It was part of the day's work," he said afterwards, quietly. . Smallpox has no personal terrors for Charles Sheard, M.D., but as a physician" he "dreads it above all other plagues. __ He has put up the most strenuous fight against it'ever-jwaged by any health officer, and Toronto's particularly low smallpox record is a ���������lasting monument to his painstaking 'ability. Personally he is as indifferent to it as though a proven "immune"��������� but his reliance is based solely upon precautions. Charles Sheard's left arm from wrist to shoulder is a mass of tiny cicatrices���������the marks of repeated self-vaccinations, for he practices what he preaches. At one time he counted forty-seven of these little scars, and while he must undoubtedly have become thoroughly inoculated against smallpox it is quite probable that having acquired the .habit he,- will continue to vaccinate himself yearly, at least till the end of his days.

You can be sure of relief by using this medicine because of its direct and combined action on both liver and kidneys. Ordinary medicines often fail because they do'not awaken the action of the liver and bowels and do not give the kidneys any chance to get well. Mr. Fred Gummer, Lillics,- Leeds Co., Ont., writes:-"I can honestly say Pills are a wonderful medicine. For six weeks last fall I could hardly walk for pains in the back resulting fiom a bad case of kidney disease, 1 tried several remedies but got no better.

Can Only be Remcved by Toning Up the Blood and Strengthening the. Nerves.. Nervous diseases become more common and more serious in the spring than at any other time of the year. This is the opinion of the best medical authorities after long observation. Vital changes in the system after- long winter months may. cause much more than "spring weakness," and the familiar weariness and ach- ings. Official records prove that in Apiil "and May neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, .epilepsy and various forms of nervous disturbances are at their worst, especially among those who have not reached middle age. The antiquated custom of taking purgatives in the spring is useless, for the system really needs strengthening���������purgatives make you weaker. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have a special action on the blood and nerves, for they give strength and have cured not only many forms of nervous disorders, but also other spring troubles such as headaches, weakness in the limbs, loss of appetite, trembling of the hands, melancholy and mental and bodily weariness ns well as un- sighty pimples and skin troubles.

This is what Lady Laurier, wife of the Premier of Canada, said to an interviewer recently in Denver: "I haven't observed anything democratic in the ideals of America in the many years I have been on this side. I don't say it isn't mixed enough, but Americans display a far greater eagerness and awe for royal prerogatives than do Europeans. Titles are of far greater value over here than where people are used to 'them. Americans give unqualified homage to royalty, while in European countries their value is not disproportionate to their station. ' ��������� ."What is the ideal in America? When you are successful the first thing ��������� you buy~ is a title. There is a very "great market for them here. The titled Europeans need the. money���������re- j quire it, in fact���������but the Americana have no use for titles. They have not been very successful in possessing them, if we may believe what we hear of international marriages. "I do not believe in such marriages. I ,think Americans should marry at home and Europeans do likewise. To the European a title stands for breeding, culture, station. To an American it cannot mean this, since if is bought." He Would Do Anything. A public school teacher in Southern Manitoba one evening visited the home of one of her pupils. During her visit, she was greatly attracted by a small boy, who looked curiously at her, but refused to come within reach of her. With all the love of a teacher for a conquest over the little folks, she coaxed, but in vain, until a happy thought struck her. She produced some chocolates, which'she held up as a bait. ' .. The little lad was not proof against anything so attractive as chocolates and went to tier'at once, and kissed ��������� her for the candy. 'His little sister had been watching him with considerable interest, ana when she .saw him spring into the teacher's arms and kiss her, she said, with nn air of finality: "Yes, Frank would do just anything, for choco* lutes." ,'.:', such a satisfactory apparatus that it was constantly in requisition. -Mr. Prowse purchased -his first lantern as an auxiliary to his Sunday School and Band of Hope work at St. George ';��������� Church/but he found the operation of the machine so interesting and use ful that he kept on acquiring improvements until he had the.besit lime-Iigin lantern that money1 could buy.

Conlon of Sombra Township, while drilling a well at Port Lambton recently, noticed black material coming up with the earth and rock from the well. An examination of the particles showed tfiat the drill was working in a vein of soft coal. The well is on the W. H. McDonald store property, recently purchased by W. J. Kane The coal was struck at a depth of 150 feet and after drilling six feet into the coal the body was found too hard to drill. Calvin Currie of Algonac brought a gentleman from Detroit to examine the showing, who pronounced it a 'good sample of soft coal, and took samples with him to Detroit for further examination. Specimens of the coal were taken to Sarnia and tested by burning. It burns readily with a fine ash. There is^talk in Port Lambton of putting down test wells to ascertain the extent of the coal body. Other wells have been sunk in the vicinity in past years without any showing of coalj but it is pointed out that none of them reached the 150-foot depth.

This was some seventy years 'ago, when a battalion of the regiment was serving out in Canada. One night while a sentry was on duty pacing up and down his lonely beat, he saw a goose limping towards him over the frozen snow. The bird had broken its leg, and the soldier carried it off to the regimental surgeon, who set the limb in splints.

A Remarkable Mixture of East and West Is Found In Egyptian Metropolis���������On the Same Street Are Men Riding In Taxis and Others on Donkeys���������All Sorts and Conditions / of Men Are Found Living There.' " Twenty-five years ago Cairo was an Oriental city.' To-day'.it is a mixture, un -amazing-mixture, of-East and West. Sit on the terrace of one of the great hotels on the Kamel street for half an hour at any, time of. day and you will see in the passing show the most extraordinary medley that the modern world has -known, -writes H, Hamilton' l-'yfe in The London Daily Mail. Here dashes a taxi- cab, and scrambling out of its way h a man on a donkey, who looks as if lie cfinie straight out of the Book of Exodus. He jogs ulong with a dignified air. You meet men riding on donkeys on'every .street." There are stands for these patient animals, just as we have stands for cabs. You can .hire them as we.tuke a hansom. After the donkey come smart motorcars anil carriages, in which wealthy Cairenes are taniiig the air. They might be in ���������Piccadilly or the Avenue des Champs-Ely.wea. ��������� Then suddenly there is a stoppage of, the traflic. What is that wailing noise? It comei from a body of ragged-looking me.ii. beggars apparently, who are shuffling along three or four abreast. They wear white turbans over a brown cloth skull-cap. Their dirty robes of white or blue reveal bare legs beneath. Behind them comes a more respectable procession, 'all men, some in European clothes with the red tar- bush or fez, soine in long garments of striped silk, "showing at the neck a neat embroidered waistcoat. And see, following them again is a bier covered by a colorfd cloth and borrn1 upon men's shoulders. Tt is a funeral, a poor, man's funeral. A well-to-do corpse would have a riumb'dr of mourners carrying silver censers and dishes of green herbs/ to- go in front of it. This is the labt promenade of - a man of * no account. Yet" the beggais cry with a will, "There isno-God but Allah, and'Ma- hommed is his prophet," and the police clear the way. The "dead man is attracting more attention than he ever did while he was alive. If you wait long enough you are sure ,to see the stivam of fashionable cais nnd barouches interrupted'by *a wedding. First comes a band making Oriental music on brass instruments or bagpipv-v. and tom-toms, then a siring of decoratsd carriages.

Sometimes tlie guests will mount gaily caparisoned camels instead of going prosaically in cabi, and the procession will lie closed by a troop of donkey-riders. Hare in the Sharia Kamel I doubt whether you would see a camel, but just round any corner they are passing all day long and geting mixed up with the electric street cars, of which Cairo has an excellent service. Here, however, is a sight better than many camels���������a magnificent rider in a regular Arabian Nights costume comes curveting along ou a jingling Arab horse. Nearly all the horses in Cairo, even those in cabs, are a joy to behold. They are small, swift, and full of prancing energy. Here, see, is a mounted policeman (English by the way) on a beautiful bay. The Egyptian cavalry are a smart lot, thanks to British drill sergeants; it is pretty. to watch a squadron of lancers can-" tering by on their mettlesome little chargers. Walk, along the pavement and the contrasts are quite as striking as anv we have seen in the roadway. Dark- skinned Ar: bs, Nubian negroes, Coptic Christians, Sudanese, Turks, and ���������-Syritttis-in-thcir���������flowing rdbW rub shoulders with the most smartly- j dressed people of Europe. ! In the Eiist one always misses the ' charm of women's faces to which we are accustomed in Europe. But there are some women. They are nearly all in black, the only wear for the street among Moslems, and their faces are half-hidden by yashmaks, kept up by a curious brass or wooden nose-piece which hns a very uncomfortable look. But here and there an unveiled .Christian native with silver bracelets round her ankles carries burdens on her head or squa-ts in a doorway playing with her children. Outside the.cafes sit Europeanized but mostly tarbushed Egyptians, (lis- cussing politics, with an occasional sheikh or well-to-do peasant in native dress. In this particular street, where tourists especially congregate, dragomans and street-sellers are an- noyingly numerous. There is little ��������� need'for'an' intelligent person to employ guides at all, but these nuisances do their best to keep up the tradition that no visitor can stir out by himself. They follow those whom they hope to make their victims with foolish persistence, until a policeman, observing their unwelcome importun- ���������Uy, bids -them desist.- The police force of Cairo has a smart appearance. The men, natives all, are uniformed in khaki and well drilled���������by the English, of course. .It is odd .to see them wearing the blue and white striped armlet of the London constable. But they are a long way off displaying the calm, firm authority of the Metropolitan Police.

It is hardly likely that he got the booze at a " blind pig,'" so there is little excuse for a blind n:au being blind drunk, even in Fernie, unless his lips got stucK to a bottle before his friends could .rescue him from the alcoholic deluge.

The first Alberta government has collapsed ignorniniously. It begun with a great many things in its favor and it has gone to pieces through sheer inability to go straight. Nor does the reconstruction look good at this distance, Apparently Mr. Gushing was the best influence in the defunct gov- eminent. He fought against the bad railway bargain which wrecked the government; ho resigned rather than support it; ho forced the measure of reconstruction which has been adopted. Yet ho has not been called to form a government, and has not been included in the Sifton administration which has been formed. Now it uiupt; be remembered that for all of this Sir Wilfrid Laurier is responsible. It was a puppet government, dancing to the strings pulled from the East block, at Ottawa. It is puppet Lieutenant Governor, for Mr. Bulyea is tho creature of Federal Premier, owing his appointment "to his sliauioful betrayal of Mr. Haultairi in 1905. Sir Wilfrid Laurier chose Premier Kutherford, aud he has chosen Mr. Sifton. He has proscribed Mi\dishing, The now provinces are subject provinces. They are not trusted with their lands;-thoy are told that Ottawa can handle the public domain more wisely than they can. They are kept in leading strings. Their politics are carried ou under surveillance.' Tho net result of Liberal'rulo in the West froni the political standpoint, is tlie creation of an order of inferior provinces. . Circumstances Alter Oases. Down on the West side of New York there's a longshore saloon where they set up a huge schooner for 5 cents. When six o'clock blows tho place is thronged by tlie thirsty, fortifying themselves for the long walkhorae. One night a huge Irishman in a red flannel shirt, open at the brawny .chest and rolled up over swelling biceps,' stood in tlie crowd, and tapped -his. nickel ��������� on the bar. Just as'the barkeeper set out the schooner the swing door burst open, and a little Irishman rushed in, flung his coat on the floor, threw his hat beside ife, and jumped on them, yelling in a high voice quivering with rage: "Which one of yez beat up poor Pat Murphy?" The big Irishman in the red shirt tapped his chest. " 'Twas me !" he bellowed hoarsly. Tho little Irishman whirled round. "Gee!" he piped, "Ye did him up foine."'

That was the first order of Mr. Cbauncey Depew, America's famous orator���������who is director of close upon forty railways���������when ho first became president of the New York ��������� Central Kail way, , a position which is said to bring him in an income of ������100,000 a year. The order was characteristic of .the man, 'for. Mr. Depew never puts on 'side,' not even to tho humblest, and cultivates the friendship of men of all classes. His wit and fund of stories are inexhaustible, and, perhaps, one of the best stories he tells is that .concerning a man 'out' west' who. ordered a patent chicken ��������� coop.
