It is now evident there arc. better days in store for this beautifully situated town at the foot of the lake, nestling snugly within gradually retreating mountains en three sides, and the outlet of Slocan Lake running through it lending picturcpqueness intensified to the scenery. In a word it is one of the most beautiful townsiles iii the whole country, and large enough for-a place of 100,000 people. The native evergreens of the flat afford ample opportunity to make residential plots as beautiful as one can desire there nt very little cost. The strcnmi from the hills offer plenty of opportunity for a ���������water system for all purposes at a very moderate cost. Another advantage lho place possesses is the amount of ar.iblc hind in the suburbs nnd nil the wny down the river j valley with lho railway convenient; (or any,point. There is ample, opporlun- ity'here for the production at small cost of n hirer* amount of market gnr- ' den .\"-tuff, the maintenance of Inrgo dairies -'rid the growth of much hay and grain besides, to s-iv nothing of fruits of all kinds indigenous to the countrr. In all these respects Slocan City ismosl favorably situated. Though a spurt wn������, made in mining operations in the vicinity in the earlier days, it was dropped a couple of years' ago, nnd the place took a relapse that brought, unrest to the business people and citizens in general. Now again, however, the wealth of the surroundings is being guagcrl by the shrewdest capitalists and mining men, and ns it is more than standing the moil careful tests, cm pi tn 1 is cooiing in rapidly. The surrounding rock is for the most, part granite, giving width and, according to the best information, depth to tlie mineral chutes.' All told it is believed that half n million of oi^side capital hns como in in the past few months,, nnd where investments have been made work is being actively prosecuted. About 75 men are regularly employed on tho properties, bought or bonded, and eon-ic 50 more are working on properties and prospects of their own. Among the investments and working enterprises are the following : The Skylark and Ranger have been bought bv Percy Dickenson, of New York, nt .930,000, and have now 14 men working. The Chapleau hns been bonded nt $35,000 by J. M. Williams. There are 14 Mien working, and there is enough ore in sight to pay for the property. The Arlington is working 15 men under the new directorate of Victoria and .Nelson men. The Black Prince, owned by local parties, is working 10,men and has the best showing of any property in tho camp. The Tamnrac is bonded by Eastern men nnd hns 8 men working. The Bank of England and the Two Friends owned by local parties have 5 men at work. The Evening Star, owned by Hugh Sulnerlrtnd & Co., has 14 men working and who, have lots of ore blocked out. 'The Calumet and Hecla have 4 men working, aiu*l are likely to be bonded in a few days. ��������� The Kilo, owned by AfcNaughton, of Silverton, is likely to be bonded in a few days. If has a lurge body of free milling ore. The Exchange is crown granted and owned by the Tuppers yndioate. They lire starting up again.' The Blendfield claim, owned by Mr. Balko, will soon be on the, list of ship- ���������jvpera., ..- - / ' Tho Gameronian- has one of the largest ore bodies in the country and is only waiting for capital to take hold of it! . Nearly all of these properties have either shipped or have ore ready for packers. Rented to have altitudes respectively of 25,200 nnd nearly 24,000 feet, mid even quite recently to approximate these heights, have left the question nn open one. The present observations reduce these elevations to 21,710 feet (for the highest peak of the Sorato or Illumpu) and 21,015 feet, a result strikingly in nccord with that obtained by Mieliin��������� 21,470 nnd 21,224 feet���������and about equally correspondent with that derived by the English geologist Penf.- lnnd from his revised triangulation conducted in 1S39, which gave 2J.2SG feet for the Sornta and 21,145 feet for Illimnni. The absolute altitude of Aconcagua is, perhaps, still in doubt, but the measurements of .Fitzgerald and Zurbriggon, made during\" their late successful nnd unsuccessful attempts to attain the summit\", would seem to give the mountain a height fully equal to that which had been ns- sumerl or it by Fitzroy and Darwin, 28,200 feet, nnd about a thousand IVet more than was claim eel by the Spanish engineer Pissis (22.452 feel.). The Sor- nlannd Illimnni now not impossibly also yield second plnce, as a number of summits, boll) in northern Chili and in Bolivia, arc close competitors, and have nt least the advantage of being reputed to be more lofty. Enrolls More Members at the Meeting in Sandon This Week. I01R fflfflll. The Minnesota Silver Co. to the With Extensive Improvements, Fore As a result of the recent visit of tho Messrs. Yawkey to this city, the Minnesota Silver Company hnvo decided to go on with tho construction of their proposed 100-ton concentrator nt once. The course of the tram from the Ivanhoe mine to the proposed site for the concentrator, at the west end of the town, has been surveyed for some time. 'The mill will be; situated where it will have, an ample supply of water Tor hau-Iliug the ores, not only of the Minnesota Silver Co.'s propertv, but also those of (he Sunshine group, lower clown the valley, to which a tram will be built Irom' tin*, concentrator later on. Mr. Bartlcti, a capable' and experienced millwright from Montana, is now in the city to superintend construction on the most approved plans. The best machinery money can buy from the most noted factories will be put in the mill. The Minnrgotn Company have now commenced a 1100-toot cross-cut below No. 4, their present lowest tunnel and main entrance to the workings, that will give them 250 feet more vertical depth. Thoy are also fitting in a live- drill air compressor to drive the tunnel and prosecute lurcher work. The Me5sis. Yawkey, who went to Spokano some days ago, are returned Thursday and may remain until [the workings at botii the tunnel and the concentrator aro put under way. Some five or six more mine owners joined the Mine Owners' Association at the meeting this week, so it means that the mines will be almost a unit in whatever stand is taken on (ho labor question. Wo have no authority for .saying so, but still believe our surmise from the first is correct���������that the government will be induced to suspend the penal ���������'���������Jnuses of the net, nnd thnt the mines will start within a few weeks ns they were before���������on eight, nine- or ton hours as may be agreed on. The. owners do not object to an\"eight-hour law or eight hours ns the basis of payment, but they do to tho pcnnl cLuim's that tie up the liberty of the subject. We should not be surprised i1 in the meantime, the government and the mine owners jointly submitted these clauses to tho Privy Council ;n England ior their opinion as to the validity of the law. t The mines, under suspension of the penalties, could be operated all tho same while the matter wns being e.on- (Sivered in England. It is whispered in some quartern that more than the rilooau owners will shortly be in the association���������ils in ilnencu will be provincial in extent. There nie other matters under the consideration ot the union, but at the last meeting tho lead eiuestion took up most of the time���������tho consideration of how lend and lead ores may best reach American anil other markets with the least restriction. races began about 3:30 and with the following results: Boys' race under 8���������1st, Allie Mc- Arthur; 2nd, John McDonald.

J. J. jMcLachlan, manager of the Whitewater Deep, was in the city this week. McGuigan Notes. McGuignn. Aug. 4���������A party of union men from Sandon went up to the Antoine mine yesterday and compelled the men working there to stop work. The Antoine mine was working the men eight nours in the mi'io and two outride, which was objected to by tiie union. J. O. Ryan arrived hero Inst Wednesday Irom the Ki&t and went up io tne Tom Mooiv mineral claim, which is sdiu to be looking very well mil has some ore ready lor shipment. A cabin will be built on the Lone Jack, and work will be proceeded with this month. Two men are now working at the Red Fox mine. Some high-grade ore will probably be shipped soon Irom this mine. Experts have been in the city some days looking over the Star. Deals are on for the Marion anel Mountain Chief properties, near New Denver. We understand there arc but two men igetting ?3 50 a day for underground work at the Ajax Fraction. Manager Sandiford. of the Bosun, refused to sign a paper guaranteeing S3 50 a day to the miners, and a shut up, sive two non-union men on contract, is the result. Mr. G. XV. Hughes banded a group of claim*, the other day on Paddy's Peak, close to the Jackson basin, and about five miles from this city. A payment of $5,000 was made, hut. the full amount of the bond is not made public. The compressor plant of the llam- hlcr-C.-iriboo is now in running order. Last month three enr loads of ore were shipped to the smelter, which will average about S2.S00 to the ear. It is supposed that dividends will bo paiel by October 1st. It is not n fact, ns stated by the guichitc last week, thnt the Selkirk company are going on with operations. They want to raise \"M,000 by the sale of stock, or otherwise, to extend a tunnel to tap the lend. When they get this money they will go on. Messrs. J. D. and G. Kendall are registered at the Arlington hotel. They arrived here last Friday and have been out to look at the Kilo claim on the first north fork of Lesion creek, for the London & B. C. Goldliolds Co. The Kilo's ledge is somewhat similar to the Chapleau and runs in tbe neighborhood of $100 to the ton. It was on the strength ol Mr. Kendall's report that his company took over tbe Enterprise mine on Ten-Mile, and his presence hero now shows that, ihey intend to interest themselves more in this Drom- ising division of the Slocan. \" - Gussts at the Rsco. went to New Denver short visit with Mrs. Mrs. Cjvanagh Wednesday for a White.

The reverses of the Oro people gave a set back to the mines in the vicinity of the Golden Wedge. However, it was a-case of ���������mismanagement from start to finish. Tke affairs of the company are in other hands, now and an effort will be made to see that the money of the company is spent where it will do tlie most good. Miss Skinner returned to New l>en- ver on Tuesday alter a few days' visit in the city.

P. E. Seelye returned a few days ngo from the AU-.xanelra-Delley mine which is situated on the 2nd north fork uf LctKon creek. This property is being worked in n very oarclul way, and the management has every hope that it will soon prove to be a rich mine. A car track and car have recently been installed iu the lower tunnel which is in 230 feet. Five men ure at work and are exposing some very rich ore. The last assays went as high as -J378. Tho vein of this rich ore is IS inches wide, it can be traced for 900 feet on the surface and gives every promise of being continuous. Sixty feet mote drifting on the present tunnel should locate the main orecluito at a depth of 250 feet. No eil'ort is being made now to turn out ore but a larger staff of men will be put on shortly and within a month the mine should become a shipper.

It was whispered amongst the crowd that she was Jenny Bax, the murderer's sweetheart; und several females who recognised her as she walked away, exclaimed that, for all her mourning and veils, sho could not but bo an unfeeling-person to come and view the gibbet where hor sweet- h\"art was to be strangled, even if the had not mado up hor mind to witness the whole aceno from bohind one of those 'sandhills she was ' skirting in such a hurry.

As he could not lift the latch of the door, he searched Mr. Worksop's clothes, not choosing to disturb the man, who had shown himself querulous-\"and grumbling, as though in pain,- .'and' found a knife, with which he succeeded in opening the door. It was a littlo past two o'clook when he returned to hiB bedroom ; a faint light I>euetraied the window from the oil lamp outside, which enabled him to see-rial the bed was empty. He also took notice that Mr. Worksop's wearing apparel, that had lain upon a chair, was gone. He was somewhat surprised, but concluded that Mr. Worksop had been awakened, as he himself had, by the heat, had dressed and walked forth bato the night, and that he would return presently. He got into bed again, but lay sleepless, until, hearing some disiant clock strike four, he rose, clothed himself, took his bundle, and left the house, carrying away the boatswain's knife, which he would have left behind, had he. remembered that it was in his pocket. He was unable to account for his possession of the Spanish piece of gold, wlrich the wiinessi-s swore had belonged to Mr. Worksop; nor could he explain how it was ihat there were blood-stains .upon his shirt, in the bed, on die floor, not to rnentin the marks wbrill temiinaled at the waterside. Having heard the evidence, the magistrate committed him to take his trial for wilful murder at the. forthcoming assizes to be held at Sandwich. There was proba'bly but one person living at that time who believed in Jeremy York's inhucence, and this was his sweetheart, Jenny Bax. The wi- !(i'ow ila'x, after much mental swaying la', nii.-l fro, arrived at the conclusion that the youth was guilty. How could it be otherwise? she reasoned, as '. did all otners who discussed the mat- ter. The mysterious disa the surf was boiling upon th-2 Goodwin Sands. The sandhills were dusky with crowds of people, who had assembled to witnesss the- fine show of a hanged man; many full of curiosity, congregated close; io lb������. gibbet, that stood back and horrible like a hideous signpost pointing thi road to Death, with the rope swayed by the wind dangling from the. extremity of it. But tho mass of the mob sacra id to 'give it a pretty wide berth, as though it,was an object to be best admired from afar. One might have noticed, however, that, amongst the people who lingered in the immediate vicinty of what, used to be called the fatal tree was a .knot of some eight or ten 'persons, whom ihv least observant eye might have suspected were present from a motive thai, had little reference to curiosity. They were most of them young men, with a certain air of resolution in tbe.ir manner; they conversed very earnestly; they might havo been observed to measure t.he height of the ������vrm of the gibbet from tho ground, the length of the rope, and the sua' -m ������--i><������r������> a>-. ing the half-hour in which he dangled. Ths crowd looked on; what the group of men were trying -. to effect they might have guessed; but whether the criminal should be ultimately saved or immediately throttled was all the same to the mob, as it was apparently to the sheriff. It'was an execution anyway; this was the'sight that the people of Deal and Sandwich and of7 adjacent hamlets hid covered the sandhills to witness, and be the issue of .the spectacle what.it: would, there was nothing to disappoint thjra in the presentation of ir. ' , ���������.'���������-.' At ths expiration of half an; hoar, tim-2 was called by one of the men who crowled round the motionless body; the sheriff signed to t'-.e executioner, who, springing forward, severed the. rope, and the body fell into the outstretch- arms of those about it. A minute after, a small cart, containing a shell, was brought fo the gibbet, the, body was plaqed in it, five men of the group who had clustered about the pendent form sprang into (he cart, and within a few moments the vehicle was being driven rapidly in the direction of Sandwich. 7 (To Be Continued.) A YOUNGER SON'S SUCCES. The case of a'younger son is usually pitied in England, but there was a notable exception in the case of the family of the late Earl of Mansfield, who died worth some 55,700,0:0. Viscount Stormont, the father of the first Earl of Mansfield, the great judge, was one of the poorsist lords in Scotland, long been a by-word in England. This and \".as pour as.a Scottish lord'-' has younger son; William Murray, born in 1705, one of a family of twelve penniless children, rode off to London on his pony to attend Westminster school, and never, it is said, saw his native land again; but he left an earldom and a vast fortune to bis eldest brother's heir.

Itclii^s C'hii (tuh'kly I.cju-ii to Comprehend. It is a strange language that human ears learn readily to comprehend. For the most part it is instinctive. A fuzzy toddler six hours out of tho shell has five distinct calls. The first and loudv*si of them is the lost note, uttered when he loses sight of his mother or finds himself out in the cold. It is loud and very shrill. The second, the- hunger note, is as shrill, but more plaintive. Afa soon as eating begins it changes to a sort ol s.ilislied chit- tering. Aftei eating they grow sleepy, and cry lo to be hovered. The now* is . ** somewhat like that of hunger.with a peculiar, tremolo breaking it in lhe middle. Very iarely do the mothois disregard it, though they may be eager, to go foraging over grass plots or down ,hidgerows. Tha fifth note, the chir-r of flight or astonishment, is the quaintest of all. Th.; chicks themselves appear to find something in it distinctly humorous. When they are a fow days old, if a big wriggling worm or a fat juicy bug be thrown to them with their usual food, they will first draw away from il, chir-r-ring in concert, then, after cye-7 ing it a minute, seize upon it and toss it about with faint, immature chuckl-i ing cackles. This chir-r develops at lasi in the grating call of warning, at sound of which from their.'-'mothers- even the youngest scatter and s.'uttlo to cover. Anything; a bird, a kite, oven a very small passing cloud sailing in the sky overhead, will evoke, this warning cry. Let one nen sound; itl and every other will lake it up. Often, oftener than not, indeed, the alarm is a false one, but Cimiuries of hawks have impressed upon lath feathered mind that \"danger comjth out of the air,\" and they govern themselves accordingly. Everybody knows how hens clucks to their bioods, but it may be news lo many that, though a hundred hens may bv* clucking iu the same inclosure^ the voice, of each will be individual and unmistakable to her immediate family. A chick just out Of the nest may not be aide to discriminate, but lei him follow for a day and he is past making mistakes. Even more wonderful, is the,, hen's abilily to differentiate her brood from all the rest. With spiteful, iil-tem- pjred fowls this often1 leads lo pitiful barnyard tragedies. An intruder, feeding peacefully among chicks of his own size, shape and color, has often been slain with one single blow of a sharp and ailgry. beak. A codi, especially a game cock, or ono of Spanish , breed, has a' wonderf til variaty of orows. -By moans of them, indeed, ha, runs the whole gamut of ox- pr.Sjion���������hope, fear, defiance, triumph, love, hate, .rage, vanity, and a fine, ineffable conceit. It is Ihi ��������� hens without families, though, that are the true barnyard gossips. Any fine day, outside moulting time, you may sue them, standing in groups, their heads close together, chuckling and chattering like so many blackbirds, or else wallowing in light earth, pecking lightly as they scratch and wallow, and evidently finding it good sport to throw dirt over each other. A hen, save when setting,will wallow alone. And when setting she is not normal, but a ragged, unkempt and very ��������� ill-tempered shadow of-herself, scowling and pecking v.t whatever com:s near her. . IMPROV CIDER.

To a reporter who recently called upon her to ascertain tho manner of hor cure, she said:���������\" It is to Or: Williams' ['ink Tills I owe my release, lt is some years since Iliad-my first attack. At the time I did not know what tho trouble was, but .the doclor who was called in to attend iho at once said it was epilepsy, and that tho disease was incurable. After this I had tho spasms as often- as two, three and four times a week. I had no* . premonitory symptoms, but would fall; no: matter where I was. _I always slept'.hoUvily after an attack. Finding that tho local treatment was not helping me my husband took mo to a doctor in Hamilton. He also said that ho could not'eure me, but that he could give mo medicine that would prolong tbo period between the spasms. This he accomplished, but I longed for a euro rather than for relief, and I finally consulted a specialist, who told mo that he couhl cure me, but that I must 'have patience. I askod him how long he thought it would require to effect) a ciiire, and he replied at least six months. He \"gave me medioine tarid.Itook it faithfully, hut'instead of getting, better I was surely growing worse. After following this treatment for some months- without avail, Iifelt that I could not hope for a euro and was about lesigning myself to my fate. (My sister, however, urged me to-'give Dr. Williams' Pink l?ills for Pale People a trial and reluctantly I decided to take her advice.-- For a lima after beginning to use the pills I continued to have the spasms, but I felt that gradually they wero less severe and 'my strength to bear- them greater, aud I persisted in the treatment until the time camo when the spasJns ceased and I was as well and strong as ever I had been. I took in all twelve or fourteen,'boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and although several years have elansod since I discontinued their use, I have not in that time had any return of the malady.

Last week, in the presence . of some eighty chiefs and headmen, at Harding, writes a Natal correspondent, were hung two natives, Umtauti and fc'ibal- weni, for a murder which sent a thrill of horror throughout the country. Umtanti, and his pupil Sibal- weni,'-.followed the repulsive' calling of witch doctors, and a few mouths ago murdered a European farmer, Kay, for lho purpose of obtaining certain parttj of.his body for the manufacture of lovo charms.

Umtanti, the doctor, who was something of a South African Charles Peace, confessed to other murders which had not been brought to light, including the chief Umsliwesh- we.'s sister. His face is in keeping with'his character���������crafty and cruel to a degree. H':s pupil, Sibalweni, also, has a repulsive face, while the other two men, Gomfi and Umbonwa, v.- ho- received life santences, have a plcasan- ter appearance.

You are a groat ���������deal too young to receive visitors, like Verona and Ermengardo. You are to go back to boarding school to-morrow.\" \"But,\" cried Alexia, in dismay, \"my holidays do not expire until Wednesday.\" \"That is very true,\" said Mrs. Ardell, compressing her thin lips ; \"con- ��������� sequonlly, you win see how far you have abridged your period of recreation by your ungovernable will.\" Alexia, forgetting all about the six- , teen years aud tho long drosses, burst into loud weoping. \"Pray, Alexia, don't be silly,\" said Verena. \"One would think,\" tartly spoke up Ermongarde, \"that you were a child of ten years. Of course, it is all for your own good \" ���������'My own fiddlesticks I\" irreverently intorruptod Alexia, as she fled from tho apartment In floods of undigni fied tears. But numbers are certain to conquer in the long run, and so Judgo Ardell's daughter was packed remorselessly off to school, and Mrs. Ardell's two girls returned to their consultations with the dressmaker'for tho coming ball. ���������Verena, a pallid blonde, with cold, watory-blue eyes and colorless flaxen haii-, was to wear blue. Ermengrade, who had a little more bloom, and ventured to call herself a brunette, had chosen pink satin, whilo tho niatron herself, no bad exemplification of the poat'a idea of \"fat, fair and forty,\" was to wear ruby velvet, richly trimmed with point applique lace, and a diamond cross, which, in the absence of her husband, she had hired from an accommodating jeweler for the occasion.

A FEW POINTS ON CANNING FRUITS. To some people canning fruit is one of tho biggest bugbears of their household duties, says Emma R. Makemson. They dread it, and from the timo tho first berries and cherries matco their a'ppearance, until the last peach and pear have beon taken care of thoy live in constant fear of thoir fruit fermenting and spoiling. With myself, while it, is a work that I have no fears as to/the result, it is always satisfactory ���������always what I intend il shall be��������� a Success. In canning fruit for sauce, I measure into my preserving kettle only enough raw fruit, as near as I can guess,' to fill one jar when it is cooked. This method may seem very tedious/ to some, out in the end it pays, for in this way the fruit has a chance to be thoroughly, cooked without crowding, and the danger of cooking iii too much-is'\"'also lessened. To save time one can have several kettles over the fire at once, shut do not: try to expedite matters by cooking a large quantity of fruit altogether. I have seenf it tried a nutnber^of times; with always the same result!; if not absolutely sour when opened, it would be 0/ flat failure.' Another important -point which should be carefully watched is to have tho jars perfectly air-tight, and in using,the self-sealers, if the tops do not screw on sufficiently tight with one rubber, add an extra one.: This should remedy the trouble which is caused by the- jars being uneven or defective at the- mouth. '��������� ��������� After the fruit is canned, protect from the light by wrapping paper around each jar, or, better still, fill the! boxes the jars came in when purchased, and set in a place with as little change of temperature as possible There will be no danger of its spoiling if it has.been properly cooked.

Farmers' wives cook too much bacon, says a writer. I find occasionally a piece of beef boiled or roasted and sliced oold is a welcome change in diet. It can be cooked in the cool part of the day. f.t gravy is wanted, save the juioei and thicken at dinner time. We are very fond of a \"pot roast.\" Boil) a nice piece of beef or mutton, vory tender, and boil down almost dry, then fry brown in the kettle, in its gravy. Turn oftien. When it is brown all over, take up and thicken the gravy. Some people object to pio, but two or thro* fresh pies baked in the morning are delicious for dinner. Stale pies are1 not good. Boil plenty of x*otatoes at noon. Chop and fry in butter or meat fryings for supper. Buttermilk is a good warm' weather drink. Have all the vegetables that you want to use brought in before the sun shines hot, and peas, beans, beets and onions can be gathered and' prepared .the evening. before they are to be used. I can rest luxuriously and shell peas or i.strihg beans in the evening. I like to have everything as cool and inviting as possible, after the long, hot siege, that the men have bad in the field. Do not for anything have them eat in the warm kitchen. A lovely place to eat can be made under the shade, with mosquito netting.

Tho magic power of iK-������ei������as stonta is a belie! dating back to the ,������sicient3, The gift\" of oloquenco is bestowed by the sardonyx, and Disraeli wore a ring set with this jewel upon all occasion* when ho wished to electrify auditon and win now adherents to his cause That this belief in the stone goei back into tho centuries is evidencod by the fact that Pliny tells -a story of an impecunious lawyer v/ho hired a sardonyx with which to defend the caus������ of a cortain fair widow possessed ol great wealth, and ho succeeded in winning both his cause and tho widow at one ana tho same time. V. Tho Princess Louise of Lome wears a ring set with sparkling jet as one of her talismans, which is supposed to have singular efficacy in preserving heultb. So superstitious is the royal lady that sometime? she will not attend public functions, as agreed upon, upon the plea that she knows it will be one of her bad days. Quite aa_ much as she treasures her jet ring does she value and consult the cardi which aro regularly sent to her from Paris. Theso cards are issued at tha beginning of each year, and give a list of the \" days and hours to be avoided* during tho coming twelve-months. The ancient theory regarding je( was thut if powdered ,and mixed witt wino, it was a sovereign romodj against toothache, ft was also a mar velous discoverer ot unfaithfulness. , The Shah of Persia is never without his cube of ambor, which he woan around his neck. It is reported t< have fallen from heaven, in the lim< of Mohummed. Among other properties it has also the power of rendering its wearer invulnerable. Domi tius' hero used to wear a lock of hl< wife's hair about his neck, thinking it was beneficial because it was amber- , colored. Although many people lielieve_ thai pearls means tears, the RothscElldi family refuse to believe that their fati may bo influenced by precious stones Upon the birth of every girl Rothschild baby six pearls are purchased,- each costing ������500; upon each birth* day six more pearls are added, so thai when tho young woman makes her debut she possesses a casket of magnificent gems. M. Zola is embarrassed in the tri������ vial details of his daily life by a host of superstitious fears and' a belief in good and evil omens. His fancy taken the. form of numbers, an4 17 he abhors; and ho carries a bit of coral as a talisman against the perils of flood and field and thunder, and a bloodstone because it means courago anH wisdom. Agate, which insures long life, health and prosperity, is the good omen worn by the German Emporor. The young Czar ot Russia wears a ring in which ho believes is embedded a bit of the true cross. Once while traveling from St. Petersburg to Moscow he suddenly . found that he had forgotten his ring. The train was stopped and a messenger sent flying baok in an express engine for it. That \"the ring of death\" belongs, in Spain is ominous. It is a rare and beautiful ring, but it is never worn nor kept in anyone's possession, as it is considered worse than the evil eye. This fatal ring hangs about-the neck of tho patron saint of; Madrid in one of tho most beautiful parks of the Spanish' capital. , It is of pearls and diamonds, but there is no special provision made for watching it, as a superstitious people like the Spaniards prefer to give it a wide berth,' : and thero is no fear or hope; of its being stolen. The story of the ring is a tragic one. It w'as made for the father of (he.present boy King and ho presented it to Mercedes upon tha day of their betrothial. Her married life was short. Queen Christina, the King's grandmother, next wore tho ring but shortly aftor died, aiid the King gave it to his sister, Infanta del Pilar, who died'within the month following. The ring then passed to a daughter of tho Due de Montpensier, and in less than three months she,' too, died. The King, fearing Its influence, put the. jewel in his own treasure box. Before the year, was out he died, and it was thought beat to put the* ring away from tho living, hence it was hung about the neck of the statue, where, its history being so well known, it is deemed to be as safe as though surroundod by a cordon of police.

HOW CAN IT BE CURED? Mr. H. Ilirsehel Cohen, a mining man of much experience, addressed a meeting of tho Board of Trade of Victoria, the other day, and among other things ho advised the retention of, as much as possible, our gold at homo. <��������� This, of course, refers to tho other precious metals as well. His advise is that which all patriotic British Columbians endorse, but the idea is, what is a practical plan for carrying it out'? It means that our mines be retained by British Columbians, or Canadians, as a limit. Before Canadians to any extent could be induced to see there were minerals in thi3 country worth hunting for, Americans had stepped in and captured many properties. They are in turn transferring many of our larger properties to English capitalists which, of course, they have a right to do. In the operations and deals, from the locations to the shipment of the minerals, all the benefit British Columbia gets is a small piovincial revenue and a share of the money spent in wages and purchase of supplies���������all the dividends go to enrich capitalists in the ���������United States and Great Britain. This is the draw back to the country, and the way to cure it is the problem. ��������� Eastern Canadians arc as a rule slow to step from the old beaten p*uh. JIanv of them have made a considerable sum in manufacturing for agricultural enterprises and commercial pursuits, and they are disposed to invest it in what they consider the old Cramps and Colic Always relieved' promptly by Dr. Fowler's Ext. of Wild Strawberry. When you am seized with an attack ol Cramps or doubled up with Colic, you want a remedy you are sure will give you relief and give it quickly, too. You don't want an untried something that MAVhelp you. You want Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, which' every one knows will positively cure Cramps and Colic quickly. Just a dose or two and you have ease. But now a word ol proof to back up these assertions, and we have it from Mr. John Hawke, Coldwatcr, Ont., who writes. \"Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry is a wonderful cure for Diarrhcoa, Cramps and pains in tho stomach. I was a great sufferer until I'gave it a trial, but now I have perfect comfort.\" They next carried it to the Privy Council and liaye won, tbe highest English court deciding that the province has no power to pass such an act. Every man must admit it is not desirable that Chineselaborshould.be encouraged in the province, yet in dealing with it the local government must be directed by its constitutional power. For the same reason, it is evident to many of the best legal minds of the country that if the eight-hour law was carried to the Privy Council it would meet the fate that overtook the Chinese Act referred to, not that the government has not the power to pass a law regulating a statutory day, but it has not tlie power to cripple the freewill ol the subject as the penal clauses of this enactment fully does. safe way. Thoy know but little about mining, and as a result they aro very- slow to invest that way. It is a, fact patent to eycry one that had British Columbia mining been left to Canadians alone, to the present the Kootenay would be the unknown land, except to the,bears anil other wild animals a few of which still remain. Instead then of blaming or endeavoring to cripple the American enterprise, that has done so much to develop the country, it should be commended, and , our Canadian brethren should be educated to do likewise. Then in this, Canadian newspaper men get, in their rapid flights are doing considerable to educate their constituents to the situation ; but the subject is too large and comprehensive a one to be learned even partially in a few flying visits. It appears to us that if the mine owners, who require capital, and prospect holders of the country would only send samples to all,the industrial fairs that will shortly he held in the eastern provinces, with a sufficient quantity of plainly written, comprehensive literature iii the hands of a capable representative, who would lecture upon our resources in all the cities and towns of the country, it would be the most satisfactory means of accomplishing the desired end. There is plenty of money in eastern Canada to meet the needs of this country, and their home requirements as; well, and if the results from careful investments were only made known in this way by honest, capable lecturers, it would socn arouse sufficient interest to turn ample capital this way. The great benefit in securing capital from Canadian sources: is that many of the profits of dividend circulations' would flow this way as well as the expenditures for labor and supplies. quarter of a million dollars a year. ' As the senatois are selected by the party in power, thoy will naturally rc- flicl, in votes, the views of tho party that selects them ; and when the idea is to swamp' the independence of that body by the vote of the commons, it would be just as well to leave the legislation wholly to the commons and effect a heayy saving. A change in the electoral divisions at any time other than when the con- stion provides for it,after the taking of the Dominion census, would be a itrctch, if not a violation, of the constitution for partizan purposes. It is well that the senate choked off this evident piece of partisanship. In the natural course of things thero need be no general election until after the next census, and as a result there is no constitutional necessity for tinkering with the make up of the constituencies till then. The Silvertonian persists in arguing one side of\" the labor situation and otic side only. It is readily granted that a miner cannot make any too much money here at S350 a day; but the main objection to the law is that it will not allow the miner to earn relntivelv for the owner also. For instance, he is not earning relatively for the low-grade property, with long packing, thnt was barely able to run on 10-hour shifts, nor yet for the prospector who has not yet found ore. The.damaging feature is,, it so cuts off the liberty of two men that ��������� they are prevented from making a contract between themselves, that may be equally satisfactory and advantageous to both.' Dividend paying properties can meet the changed conditions readily, but all the Slocan properties are not yet dividend payers. AND OTHER INVESTMENTS. Every Representation Guaranteed. When a man gets down flat on his back, so that he has co be carried about like a baby, he finally realizes that he is a sick man. Very frequently he has been a sick man for years, but has recklessly refused to rccoR-nize nature's warnings. .Severe illness is something that does not strike a man like a flash of lightning. It creeps upon him by degrees, and at every step warns him with a new danger signal. When a man feels \"out of sorts\" or \"knocked out,\" or whatever he maycall it, he is a sick man. It is time to take warning. Headaches, drowsiness, loss of sleep at night, loss of appetite, neivousness, bad taste in the mouth in the morning, and frightful dreams���������all these are warnings of encroaching illness. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery creates appetite, cures dyspepsia, stimulates the liver, purifies the blood, quickens the circulation and tones the nerves. It makes rich, red, lissuc- buikliug blood. It builds firm flesh, but does not make corpulent people more corpulent. Unlike cod liver oil, it does not' make flabby flesh. On the contrary, it tears down and excretes the unhealthy tissues that constitute corpulency, and replaces them with the firm, muscular tissues of good health. It cures 9S per cent, of all cases of consumption. All bronchial, throat and kindred ailments, as lingering coughs, spitting of blood and weak lungs are cured by it. Thousands have testified to its merits. At all medicine stores. It is a dealer's business to give you what you. ask for; not to��������� tell you what you want.

After all the profusion of promises, the Federal government has dropped the Senate reform and re-distribution measures for this session, and, for the welfare of Canada, it is well it is so. The drift of the first measure was a petition, to the home government to so amend the constitution that a majority vote of both Houses combined was necessary to defeat a measure passed by the Commons. The idea was suggested by the defeat of the notorious Yukon railway bill by the senate, last session. Summed up it means that the will of the commons should prevail on all occasions regardless of the wishes of the senate, or in other words, that the senate is to register the expression of the commons under all circumstances. In substance it means the senate is useless, and with that idea to the front, would it not be much better, when a change in the constitution is being made, to abolish the senate altogether and save the country a It would not hav been amiss if an inquest had been held on the remains ol Ellis C. Williams, who was killed in the Sovereign mine on Friday List, not that there is the leiifjt suspicion of foul play or even negligence in any quarter, but. there is no coroner in the whole Slocan country. Until Crouso, the injured man, has sufficiently recovered to talk clearly just how the accident occurred will not be known, as there were but three men around the working at the time, and the third, the mucker, was some distance away when the blast went off. It is evident there was either carelessness ������������������ or' lack of proper precaution somewhere, and quite likely all the particulars would be brought out at an inquest, which might prove of much-service in. the camp hereal'ter. As we have said, however, there. is 110 coroner in: the, district. Lieut.-Gove'riior-Meliihes'caii get 510,000 a year to keep up style at Government House, a foreign company can get a million for a cable, but the most important industrial district is left without a coroner, for the sake of economy. Instead of fighting Will o' the Wisps in thcTIouee, these are the matters that should have the attention of our representatives in the House. A torchlight procession was given Tarte at Sorcl, Quebec, the early part of the year, and since the following account for if has been paid by the government: 275 Japanese lanterns at 17.] ccnls. 150 Japanese lanterns at 12 cents.

It is a surprise to many that the people stand that kind of monkeying with their finances. A recent dicision of the Privy Coun- oilsliould teach the legislature of this province that it is not all powerful. Some time ago the legislature passed an act restricting the employment of Chinamen underground. The Dunsr minis carried the matter to the courts of the proviuce.and they were defeated. Why is it 'chat nearly all aged persons are thin? And yet, when you think of it, what could you expect? Three score'years'of .wear and tear are enough to make the digestion weak. Yet the body must be fed. In Scott's Emulsion, the work is all done; that is, the oil in it is digested, all ready to be taken into the blood.

Hit Tower of Dcnlruclloii Exhibited Kent In Tropical Wutera-Oue Tlial Toweiln M'nnlc and Another That. Handled ������ Hull���������When Hit Turns on (lie. Hunter��������� Trap Iu Which llu Is Taken. \" Sailor though you may have been for a score of years and never given cause for a man to call you coward, there comes a tinio whon you fool tho creeps and your knees grow weak,\" said u man who wa& a whaler once. \" That tuoio is when you look ovor the rail of a ship rising and falling on a calm B&U and' find a big hainmerhoad shark looking up into your eyea. The white Bhurk ia voraciouH and merciless, but th*j tigor of tho se-i, as tiie hammerhead ia called, is worso than that. Ho is the most repulsive looking fiili that pwims. fie will fcake up tho . trail of a ship like a bloodhound, and his per- oLstency is menacing and malignant. A white shark can bo frightened or beaten off, even after seizing his prey, but the hammerhead shuts his jaws , like a bulldog and will be out to pieces before ho will let go. A man in tho water may dodge the rush of a whito shark, but tho tigjjx never misses his mark. He hasn't the speed of the other, but Lt is his slower gait whioh roakos him mora certain of hia victim. \" While the haininerhead shark may be caught all along the Atlantic coaat, hits true cruising grounds aro in the tropical seas. To gel among the biff ones you pxusL voyage up the Bay of Bengal or coast along the great barrier reef of Australia. You will find Lhe white shark there, too, but the Lvvo species never run in the same Bchool. I do not know that they quarrel whon thoy meet, but certain it is that THEY AVOID EACH OTHER. Et ifi seldom that a big shark is caught iu Northern watena, but in the tropical seas a twelve-footer, either whito or hammerhead, is looked upon with contempt. Ono day, as tho ship While Wings was bepatmod about fifty miles off tho coast of Madagascar, a hammerhead shark of such size appeared alongside that he was at first taken for a whale. He remained with us for over an hour, lying like a log uu the water, aud it wua easy to ge.L hia dimensions, or at leabi his length. He was exactly Ihirly-ihree feet long and about the size oi a Hour-barrel. If a tow-line could have been made fast to that fiah he had the horse-power to enable him to drag us along. While ��������� the white shark is swifter and more supple, the hammerhead has more of what might be called pounding power. As aa illustration of what he can do out of, the water, I will cite the case of aa Australian coasting schooner called the Wanderer. I wap in the whaling ship Paul Janes and we were anchored off oho of the Kangaroo islands on the east coast, to wood and water. The Wanderer, which waa northward bound, came to anchor quite near us to make good some damage received aloft in a squall. The water was alive with hungry hammerheads, and the captain of the, coaster, put over a hook. A shark eighteen feet, long soon took.it and after half an hour's hard work was hauled over,the rail. The fish seemed to be played out sua thoy hauled Uim in, but no sooner did he feel tho deck under him than he began business. V The blows he Btruck with his tail could have been heard a mile away, and when he sprang into the air and fell back there was a crash which told of splintered planks. In ten minutes that fish almost made a wreck of the schooner. He smashed bulwarks, shivered planks, and broke stanchions as if they were sticks and chips, and harness-cask, water-butt, and the cook's gaily went overboard as if sent by A POWDER EXPLOSION. The carpenter, managed to sever the tail with a broadaxe at last, and no more shark hooks were dropped over the aide. Had that shark been free In the hold of the schooner I believe be would have started a dozen butt- eade and sunk her at her anchor. \" In hia native element a big shark has two sorts o������ power���������the go-ahead and the reverse. Off tho Java coast, on one of my whaling voyages, wo killed a whale fixty-two feet long. In bulk he seemod to \\m an island, and his weight was tons added to tons. In a perfectly calm sea three boats made fast to tow the whale down to the ship. We had been straining bur backs for five minutes and hadn't got the great bulk moving yet, when a hammerhead shark about twenty feet long dashed in and set his jaws into the body just forward of the tail. As he got a firm hold, he began pulling back and shaking his head, as you have seen a dog pull at a root when digging. Ak the flesh, would not tear away, that shark kept reversing his engines until he had turned tha big body twice around in a circle, and added to the weight of the body was the drag' of our three boats\". To get rid ol him' we had to almost cut him into Strips with our harpoons. As to the go-ahead powers of a shark, perhaps there has never been a test which gave Island, off the coast of Java, the natives caught a big hammerhead who !had pur-sued a bather too far and had (been stranded. A rope was made fast t>ehin*a, his head and the free end 'fast- ���������n������4 to a raft which they construct ed out of driftwood. According to their statements the raft was about twenty feet square, and they piled at least a ton of stones on it. It was a bulky, unwieldly thing, and yet when they got shark and raft clear of the shore, the harnessed caplivo started off, at steamboat speed and seemed to make littlo of the drag in hia wake, lie was passed by a catamaran, when fifteen mik'S at soa, and was still keeping up his stroke. \" I have known a whito shark to follow the ship twenty-four hours, but never longer. By that time his hunger drives him to go cruising around after food. While tho Paul Jones was working along the Java coast, a big hammorhoad fell iu with us, ono day and stuck by us for eight days and a half without changing his position threo feel. During that time we sailed (J30 miles. None of us could figure out how the shark got anything to eat in all that time, ;uid, us a matter of fact, I don't believe he got a morsol. Tho idea that a shark follows a ship for tho food thrown overboard is a false one. I havo seen tho cook throw slops over wheu sharks wore following or skulking under the counter and THEY WOULD NOT MOVE. A hammerhead estimated to bo thirty foet long followed tho English ship Rod Lion 2,180 miles on a voyage to Australia. Food was thrown to him twenty different times, but ho would not touch it. The whito shark of tho tropical seas displays more fierceness than ihose of the Atlantio, but ho is a sheep compared to the hammerhead. In the year 1871 the brig Southern Cross, from Calcutta to London, was wrecked, on Nelaon Island, at tho northern end of the Indian Ocean. Sho had three passengers and a crew of fourteen meu. They put off from the wreck on a raft, but the wind blow them, out to sea instead of upon tho beach. Tho raft was surrounded by hammerhead sharks, and by sundown, when it was sighted, by a north-bound craft, only one of the .seventeen castaways was left. ' The sharks could not upset the raft, but they leaped upon it sometimes two or threo at onco, 'and knocked ' the people overboard. ' In the yoar\" 1882, while we were landing some cattle from a coaster in Portland Bay, Australia, lhe sling broke and a large Devon bull fell into the water. This was about half a mile from the beach and in water fifteen feot deep. The bull started for shore, but a hammerhead shark seized him by tho right hip almost at once. The shark was only about fourteen feet long, and tho bull was strong enough to have pulled a tree up by the roots, and yet tho shark began towing him out to sea. Boats were lowered and wo went for the fish. We boat him with boat- hooks, stabbed him with knives and fired six bullets into him from a revolver, but he wouldn't let go. Then we fastened a towrope to the horns of the bull and towed him to the beach and the shark camo with him and was killed with an axe on Lho sands. Tho flesh was not badly torn, but at Lhe end of a couplo of days the bull was dead. \" For a good many years the Zoological Gardens at Bombay were seeking for a specimen hammer-head. The price offered was liberal enough, and scores of them were caught with hooks, but none lived beyond a few hours. It was finally discovered that - tho laceration of tho throat by the hook bled them to death. Then a native of one of tho Caroline Islands put the officials up to a dodge, and a craft was fitted out and Bent down.'.' the coast to Little George Island. When she had come to anchor in a littlo bay mon were sent ashore to cut and bring off ton long slim poles. These were fastened loosely together after being spread four feot apart.\" This gave them a raft forty feet wido 'by, fifteen feet long. Then ropes from ten to fifty feet long, about twenty lengths in all, were fastened to the raft and- weighted just sufficiently to sink, them below.it. The centre rope had. four feet of chain at ita lower end, and to this chain was wired , A HUNK OF BEEF. . One morning they towed the light raft two miles off shore on a smooth sea and pulled away to watch proceedings. It was even chances that a white shark or ground shark or a small hammerhead might take the bait, but they had to risk that. Luck was with tho hunters: They had been waiting and watching for two hours when there was a sudden commotion. A tiger twenty-three, feet long had taken the bait. Down it went at a gulp and ho started off. As soon as he felt the strain of the raft he began to fight. A white shark would have rushed this way and that and sought to tear out lhe hook. This fellow was not caught by a hook, but he would not throw out tho bait. He sought to sever the chain, and when it defied him he rushed upward at the raft and rolled over\" and ovor as if turned with a crunk. They had counted on hi.s behaviour to'capture him. In five, minutes he was wound tip in half a dozen of the trailing ropes and had tho ��������� limber poleii bent in all sorts of shapes, and they made fast and towed him off to Lhe brig. No fish could have made a fiercer fight; Ii took four hours, hampered as ho was, to get him into his. tank, and his st renglh and fierceness were matters of amazement. The fish was landed at Bombay and transferred to a basin without: injury, but he only lived three months. A second and a third were captured Ln the \"wxae manner, but both died after a brief captivity. In the same gardens was a white shark who had spent ten years in his tank and had grown fat arid lazy. \"In Atlantic waters the man looking for sport may cast his shark hooks overboard without fear of disaster, no matter what sort pi shark take3 hold, but in the tropical seas there is no feeling of security. If a big. hammer- tho tragedy at Batavia, happening only four years ago, was convincing proof that\" he is a dangerous foe. A boat with five men in it hooked a big hammerhead, and after running out 100 feot of lino tho fish turned and rushed. As he neared the boat he leaped clear of tho water and landed among the men. In less than one minute he had beaten out the bottom planks of the boat with his tail, and of the four men who met death two, at least, had broken legs or arms before the shark rolled out of tho wreck and went his way.\" CATCHING COBRAS. In .lIcnnH Used lty (lie SiialtcTIiiirmcrs t'np'Hrlnff These Dangerous Itrpttte.s. Tho cobra is so passionately fond of inuisic that it can at any time bo' enticed from its hiding-place By the notes of a violin or a bagpipe. It seldom hoars anything but tho bagpipe, but if thoro be one instrument which it lovea more than any other it is the violin. * ' If a cobra takes up its abode in tho neighborhood of a dwelling, it is customary- to send for a' pair, of professional snake-charmers. They at once proceed to work upon tho snake's love of music. -One of thom strikes up a tune near Lhe place where the cobra is supposed to be. If it ia thoro it is sure to bo attracted by the music, and soon to tnako its appearance. It emerges slowly from its hiding-place, and Lakes a position ita front of the player. It is his business to keep its uttention ��������� engaged while hia companion creeps up behind it with a handful of fine dust. Tho. casting of the dust upon tho cobra startles it, and for one moment it falUs its full length' on the ground. It is only for a moment, but the time ia long enough to answor the purpose of tho assistant. With a lightning- like movement ho seizes the cobra by the neck ju'sL below the head. Tho snake turns in fury, and winds its body round the arm of its captor ; but its rago availa it nothing. It cannot turn its head to b' o. If it is desirable to extract the fangs at' onco, the captor presses his thumb on the throat of tho cobra, thus compelling it to open its mouth, and tho fangs aro drawn with a pair of pincers. If, however, tho operator desires to keep the snake inlact for the present, the musician comes to his comrade's assistance, forcibly unwinds the ceils, and place's the body of the cobra, iu a basket. Only tho head is left oui, this being still held by the other, man. The lid is1 pressed down to prevent Lhe cobra from wriggling out. Then, suddenly, the captor thrusts the head in, and bangs down the lid. Sometimes music is used to draw from Lhe snake its poison, to be used for medicinal or experimental purposes. When this is to be done, the musician's assistant, arms himself with a largo plate covered with a thick plantain leaf. Whilo tho snake is engaged with the music he sits down right in front of it. It ia too much engrossed to notice him until tho music suddenly stops. Then the cobrar\" recalled to existing surroundings, launches forth at the man who is nearest. Quick as ita thrust, however, is tho movement of th������ man. He interposes the plate aud receives the bite on il. The potBO.n goes through tho puncture in the leaf, and is deposited on the plate. It is a thick, albuminous fluid, like the white.. of an egg. One drop of it, communicated to the blood, is enough to cause death to any warmblooded animal. TAMING THE LION. hia actual horse-power.
