A most pertinent question to ask 'now is, AVhat is the provincial government doing to develop the resources of the country and to settle it with a desirable class of people'! It is admitted ���������oil every hand that the province has exceptional possibilities���������an immense area, a specially fine climate, untold mineral wealth in diversified forms, large nreas ��������� of ranching land, huge belts of (he most fertile agricultural and fruit growing land in the world, with all other natural conditions favorable, immense blacks of forest producing the best building timber in the world, and our streams and rivers abounding in the finest fish, ever produced in inland waters���������everything in fact guaranteed by nature to make tho province the homo.of many times the present population of Canada, in the mercantile, industrial, agricultural and financial classcs,nnd the govornmont is doing little or nothing to secure tho population for which tho country has so many and such varied opportunities. In our cabinets wo have but too often men of but simple mediocrity, wliose chief aim is'to draw their salaries and to hold their parties in power, and a House of representatives, the highest aim of whom as manipulating a sectional vote to secure their return when ever elections may recur. From tho ' standpoints of those classes, their acts may be highly commendable ; but is it all going to develop tho country, by giving it the institutions essential for its growth,advertising it abroad '! Some say the s-ilnrics paid to our cabinet ministersare insufficient to get the beat men in ollice giving their whole time to it. If this is so, by all means double them if necessary. Tha fact of J.ho matter is the province has outgrown a dependent colonial Binge, and loudly calls for local self government. Our local matters can no more be handled now from Victoria Jlmn" Canada can bo governed from Downing street. Eycry mile of the unorganized country calls for money to build wagon roads, trails, bridges, etc. The country wants more schools with better moans for sustenance. Our farming districts are calling for immigrants "with moans for settlement to supply ihe mining districts with farm products. Our "minerals, other than the precious metals, are offering- openings for large factories, and uur forests are ready to supply all with building materials. To extend this .development for which the country is now ripe calls for the aid of capabic_mon in our legislatures, and not those who will pettifog in vote-stealing legislation side agencies; owners cannot demand nnd get,whatever prices they desire, in the next place niiiiiy of the properties have never yot paid for the money expended on them, and that some, of them will never do it goes without saying. .Next, at the instance of the worst element in the Coeur d'Alene, a number of onr miners are worked on till they secretely get pledges from our representatives, who on all election plutlorms openly declared thero had been loo much tinkering'with the cicc tion laws, to introduce the most objectionable law ever passed in the country. Supposing now the boot was changed and that a Jaw was passed limiting the working hours of clerks, bar tenders, etc , to eight, and that, these clerks and bartenders demanded of employers, many of whose businesses were not then paying, the same wages for the eight hours they had been to that time getting for past services ; that these bartenders and clerics fo/nicd a union that took in all who had served any timo'at either business, and that that theunion demanded for the most inefficient of its members the wages for eight hours formerly paid to the best men foe the former hours of labor, wo ask the storekeepers, hotel men, etc., in all fairness, how they would like it? When again wc add to this condition of things "the fact that tlicso bartenders and clerks so extended thoir unions as to prevent help from coming in under any conditions, how would it improve the tempers of the business men and saloon keepers, especially when the politicians were gloating over it hoping to make enough votes'out of the trouble to again return themselves to oflice. [fin this situation the agony was intensified by cries of "Open your stores and saloons and run them. We don't care whether you make money or lose, you have got to run them that wc may make money," the picture would be properly presented. 1 Sill I mi Ihih. Keep Out tlie Element That Makes tlie Peace and Prosperity.of a Country, Its Wanton Sport. Labor Trouble Notes. Why should there, Will any one tell us, be ten hours' work for the surface miner and but eight for the underground man, when all good miners say they would rather do underground than overground work ? The Nelson Tribune is now turning its guns on the Canadian and English capitalists who arc investing in American mines. K it would shoot the B. C. legislature that passed the laws that are driving those people to do that, it would be more sensible and effective work. A mine owner, in the Nelson Tribune, wants to know why it is that a syndicate holding properties in two seofions of the silver-load district have to pay two rates to men. In one district they can hire at S3 00 and in another they have lo pay $3.50, if they work their properties. Mr. E. Rammolmeyer, who was manager of the Emily E'-lith mine at Silverton for some time, has closed down the property and left tho place. Since If the labor agitations, that are now stirring the mining districts of British Columbia, originated with resident miners of the province, who have boen here for years and intend to make the province their home, they would be .entitled to every consideration of our parliament and the capitalists of the country. In so far as residents arc involved, they are eutitled'to this consideration; but it is patent to those who have looked into lhe matter that the trouble sprang from some of the Coeu r d'Alene agitators, that instigated the reign of terror across the lines, and rendered the operations of capital on a paying basis out of the question. It appears to us that it becomes the duty of those interested to bring evidences of this Cully before Commissioner Clute when ho visits the Slocan'. In so far as The Itcview is concerned, we have never opposed an eight-hour law for miners, in short, wc would support one tomorrow for all who have (.6 earn their living by days' wages, as we want to see alPelasses used alike.

Wo want men who will rise fully above all this, grasp tho needs of the province with capable minds and willing hands, and give the country the growth .nature designed it to.have. First.We want municipal.institutions ���������'., over all. the'.. unorganized territory vested with power to make loans, to make public improvements, and on-, ddwed ..with power, to collect personal, really and income taxes, and to spend them locally in the public interest. We again want capable, men in all the countries of Europe advertising , by word, and practical evidences our great resources that .'wealth, . sufficient to meet the/requirements, may be drawn tliis way, and conciliatory legislation creating in capital and labor a bond of union. It appears to us. that it is the duty of tho press and the capable men of the country to take hold of all these matters so that our next and future elections will be run on issues calculated to bring the country to the front at a bound, instead of creating irritating issues between parties and sections that can only result in.serious detriment to all concerned.

' The Other Foot. Frequently you will hear throughout the Slocan merchants and hotelkeepers blaming, if not censuring, the mine owners ior not opening the mines. It would be well to consider that even mine owners are human, and how^he game .would woric if the boot was placed on the other foot. In the first place, the-value jpf ores is fixed by out- A TERRIBLE DISEASE. "I have ��������� been troubled with sal? rheum for 6 years and could got nothing, to'cure me until I took Burdock Blood Bitters. It only required live bottles to make a complete cure." Mrs. Jas. Delzill, High Bluli; Man. - WHAT Dir A. E. SALTER. SAYS. .Buffalo, jN.

It has certainly, saved many Irom consumption. Sold at McQueen's Drug Store. Nelson Tribune puts it. the fish element "controls the electoral voto of the camp," but on the broad basis of justice to labor'irrespective of its voting power altogether. But such a law should not be tyrannical���������it should not reduce the working classes to the condition of slaves, limiting their earning capacity, and dep>ivi:ig them of that, birthright of all British subjects��������� the right to do as they like with their labor. The Reyiew too has always favored the payment of $3.50 to good miners in the Slocan, though it is not the duty of newspapers to fix. wages between'employer and employee in any capacity, but it has opposed, for humanitarian reasons, actions and tactics thai try- either to force inferior men on employers at that figure or deprive thorn of the means of earning a living at the calling of their choice altogether. '1 he miners' union, for instance, takes all shades and conditions of men, who profess to be miners, into its ranks, and demands for those, that it is well known are unable to earn more than $3.00, the wages they should for the best men in the camp. There is no questioning th������ unfairness of this, and it is because of its unfairness that The Review disapproves of it. There are | plenty of employers who would hire those inferior men at what they are worth; but the stipulations of the union are that if owners cannot be coerced into paying them wages, it is known all around they are incapable of earning, they musl either take up work uncongenial to them or leave the country. This is a line of tactics disallowed by any other union of whose working we have any knowledge, and should be discarded by the miners.. If worthy resident miners operated on the lines approved of above, and ended their agitations by making these demands and others on similar-'and harmonious lines, they would have a strong fortification for their defence. But time willprovo that thoy will not end with this and their present fullde- ninnds. For the past couple of years the agitators, who set the hall rolling among the otherwise peaceably disposed miners of this country,- have been spreading anarchy and terror throughout . many districts : of the States, the Coeur d'Alene district being lho. central scene of their operations, until now capital is literally handicapped making livings for 'lien mining with their mouths only. It becomes the duty of the owners, capitalists and all others of this country to sec that liberal concessions aro made to honest labor in every legitimate form, but to be firmly bonded together to nip in thebud the-movements'and-encroachments of the anarchists, that are the cause of such troubles, wrongs and crimes across the I lines.

Aanley said : " Your pleasure is mine," and guessing what her pleasure was, he added: " Shall we go on lhe steps or stay here?" ���aha rose, and they went out into the warm spring night. " I know you did not want to dance," said Miss Collier. For reasons Lest known to liimself Stanley was in no gracious mood. He answered uncivilly enough: "Bul perhaps I did." " Then," with the sofl.esl inflection of her. soft voice, "Iain more intcr&sl- ed in iyour welfare than you are yourself. If vou are ,to start at reveille, you1 should rest now. You should really not have come to-night." She knew^why ho had come. Sho knew. tha.t it was because Maurjicia Meredith had told him 'that it he wero going to bo too busy lo lake her she would release him and go with Mr. Kendall, which was tantamount to -.^ "^pulsion. Stanley now contrasted her indifference with Miss Collier's gentle, solicitous tones. ' Of a sudden ho wondered if Miss Meredith were selfish, which was what. Miss Collier meant him to wonder. A still, smooth voice often flows over unexpected depths. But, of cours* continued she, gazing off iuto lho blue-black sky and seeming to inodilale aloud, "you had 4o bring Mauricia." ilanley was up in arms., ' I beg your pardon. 11 was my wish tor do so.

" A great many liittle things which i, man would never take into accounl, out which a girl knows from her own jxperience "���tho impersonal eyes grow very personal for ono short instant, then dropped in confusion���" or from nor own observation. Have you seen it? [ think you will if you watch. It is tither that or a desperate flirtation. But I believe Mauricia to be above flirting. I have never thought lhat she deliberately went about breaking Will Henderson's heart or Lieutenant Cook's. Any man would naturally fall 'a love with hor. I should.if I wero friend. Your heart must bo of stern the parade-ground, and Ihere was not stuff." Sho chocked a sigh, and resumed her gaze at the stare. Then, as if following out a train of thought, she recommenced : i . " That in itself is proof (hat she is not a flirt. Slio lias nover flirted with you. Of course, though, it may lie. (hat .she has been engrossed with Mr. Kendall." Neither view was comforting lo Stanley. The little things which Miss a light in any window..Still from the silence rang in hor eais, as thoy had rung in the music's strains! the Hitter words, " Mere friends," and still before her eyes rose the picture of those two as she had seen them when she bad gone out upon the steps, She bowed her head on her bare arms to shut it out, and for a long, long while she did not move. When she looked up again the barracks were gone. Over all tho land Collier had insinuated began to recur | was lho darkness which comes before Lo him.

Stanley assured her that it was immaterial lo him if she chose, lo remain until daylight; lhat he was entirely at her service. But1 Mish Meredith did n'lt remain until daylight. At two o'clock she went home and sat in hor room at the window looking out into the night. Thero was not a sound in 'all lhe worhd. The stars twinkled and glit- thicker before the dawn. ' " Mere friends 1" Well, she would meet him as a mere friend. Sho would, perhaps, havo il to. do often enough-in the dull future. It might bo best to begin at once. ' [ The tinkling of a silver bell came to her, sounding weirdly through the night, and out of that night emerged another figure. It ran up the steps .and the front door opened and closed. She drew her cape about her shoulders and groped her way out of her room, through the corridor, down lho stairs. A candle was burning in tho hall. She went on into the dining-room. Her mother wan pouring tho coffee. Her father and his first lieutenant were already-sealed. Tho lieutenant rose. "Good morning again," he said, cheerfully.

"Mauricia, how can you bo so un- ��� P'rudert," sho looked at. the beaming face, ." how can you be so happy ?" Mauricia's' answer was not wiser than might havo been expected. "It's such a beautiful dawn, and il was so dark," she explained. WAS THIS ANDREE'S PARTY ? A CiHifllcl In Which r.squlinaiix Killed Two Wlille .Ucii.

Hor neck and arms shone white, nod the lights glittered on hor hair. From tho crown of her head, with its faded flower, to the lorn ruffle of her skirt she was in sad disarray. But Stanley thought her very beautiful, and memory came suddenly back to time. They tallied gayly, for all that they were quite unhappv. Then Moriarty reported that i he. sergeant-major was at the door and would like to see tho ranlain. The captain went out and his wife followed him.

After they had finished they all went out but Old Donald's Son, who wanted to know if tho balloon had started, as two while men had been killed up North last summer, and it was supposed - they had come from the balloon.

" SLockby's brother, while hunling musk oxen last summer, came across a party of four white men shooting deer. A party of Esquimaux who wero approaching at the lime did not see tho deer, and thought that the white men were- shooting at -.' them.

One of the most .successful sorties made during the siege of Pretoria was the attack of the Zwarl kopje, a rooky knoll rising lo about thirty feol, formed of large boulders with brushwood growing between, about twelve mikfj from Pretoria. Here the Boons had a waggon laager defended by a strong force. This laager Colonel Gildea, at the head of one hundred and forty mounted men and two hundred and eighty infantry with one gun set ouIl to destroy on tho morning ol January Gtilh, 1881. The'kopje was btormed by ihe Fusiliers, and ono. who wafcf there .thus describes what he saw in the vapiured stronghold; "Thefirst thing that attracted my attenion was a young Boer, evidently mortally wounded and struggling in the agony of his death throes. 1 lifted his head and poured a little brandy down his throat; but he was beyond all human aid, and in ji few. minutes his pain was over. Ho had his cartridges in a little leathern military pouch, all dabbed with his'-'life's blood, and I loosened it from his1 belt to find that it had belonged1 to one of the 9th Regiment, and had in all probability been taken ait the Hondo River ; so truly, in this individual case, Bronkhorst Spruit had boen avenged.

When Major Robarts was in command at Fori Weber during the- early part of the Boer campaign, hej paraded liis forces, chiefly volunteers, the first Sunday they were in the fort, for church service. Having only a Church ' of England chaplain, the major deaired all the Roman Catholics to fall out, as he had .no'-priest .to attend to their ro- liigious wants. On lhe next Sunday a number of ingenious volunteers, in (he hope of being also ordered to " fall out," together with the " Catholics, ��� handed in their- names as infidels. The major drew up the line and gav�� the word of command, " Infidels, fill.' rvut !" WThereupon some five-and-twen-��� . ty of the "boys "."fell out."

Cable despatches from South Africa have rioted that the Boers miss tho red coats which they had found useful as targets and imaginod inseparable from tho British army.'They did not know that, profiting by her many "littlo - wars," England had learned to clothe hor soldiers in k;eex>ing with tho climato thoy have to bear and tho work they are called upon to do. While all the pomp of poaco ia preserved for .������ "Tommy Alkins" at homo, because, ho likes it for its,display, despite, its discomfort, tho men in tho field/ aro rationally . dressed in loose and easy khaku. ���������While the British army is dependent |j on voluntary enlistment, many of its leading officers have said that it must retain the finery which the private likes for its own gorgeousness and i , still more for the attraction it has when' he goes a-courting. And so, although recent years have worked a colossal reform in. the fighting clothes of the British soldier, uniforms of| tho old picturesque typo are still preserved for purposes of duly and pageantry at home. DISREGARDS DISCOMFORT. (Writing somo ten years ago. Lord Wolseloy, advocating a differentiation between the uniforms of peace and war, said:���������"We must1 make tho soldiers' ololhing acceptable to the mon who havo to wear it,i and, strange to say they like very tightly fitting coats and trousers, to swagger about in with Iheir sweethearts." And then lie talks "of their joy inl the shelterless.i "ridioulous forage caps stuck on the sido of thoir heads." ( , Many a recruit has been gained for tho British forces by their gay clothing,.and although the more elaborate plumage involves a corresponding ' amount of preening, the smartness of the men's appearance is proverbal. Time was and not so very long! ago, as the many know who have seen Lady Butler's wondrous war pictures, when British soldiers fought under the handicap of tight tunics and various impedimenta, such as no modern commander would for a moment tolerate. Take for instance her famous painting of "The Twenty-eighth at QuatreBras" and compare tho garb of the, Glouces-i tors given there in tho Crimea with the khr.ki iu which thoy wero capturedi recently by tho Boers in the regiment's next turn of active service. Even among tho gay homo uniforms those of tho drum, majors are proverbi- ' ally the most gorgeous. With one of the finest military bands in the world at his heels, the drum major of the Coldstreaim Guards is especially resplendent. His regiment's record includes Egypt, Ouderiarde, Malpla- quet, Deltingen, Lincelles, - Talayera, Barrosa, the Peninsula, - Waterloo, Alma, Inkerman, Sevastopol, Egypt, ��������� '82; Tel-el-Kebir and Suakim, '85, as the names in heavy gold, letters fin his baldric show. His tunic- and trousers are of scarlet, the facings blue, and his braid of gold. Tho red* plume worn in their gigantic bear skins is tho principal mark of distinction between those uniforms and those of the Scots Guards, who have no plume. Next to a drum major there is hardly a more imposing sight of tho kind than that which a piper of tho Scots Guards presents. "Silver buckles are on his shoes," like pretty "Johnny Shafto," and there are silver "fixings" to his sporan, baldric, plaid, dirk, sword and his bonnet, wilh its oagle feather. The flaglike drapery on, bis pipes is of Bcarlet silk, with gold insignia. The ribbons on tlie pipes and tho ,kilt are are all of the tartan of 'tho regiment, while the tunic is of scarlet.- ONE OF LONDON'S. SIGHTS. ���������'.'��������� Evory visitor in London has the Royal Horse Guards pointed out to him as ono of the regular sights of the British metropolis. Fine men of their inches are they all, picked for their, physique, and highly picturesque they look with their plumed helmets, cuirasses and high boots. Their popular name is "Tho Blues," their uniform, being blue, wilh scarlet facings and red plumes. Thoy wear immense pipeclayed gauntlets and highly polished black boots, wilh .flare tops; their breeches also are whito. Their helmets and .cuirasses . shine like burnished silver. But. all this finery is put aside when they take tho field, and they fight in khaki as do all the rest. ' ��������� ��������� -Quieter, but sLill rich, is the uniform of an officer o������ the Royal Horse . Artillery, It is of blue, with scarlet facingsi He wears a busby bag with a white j.-lumc. H'Js blue saddlecloth is bound .with'gold braid and heavily embossed with tho royal monogram, tho insignia of his regiment, and its motto, which is " Everywhere." So', too, in his sabretache. The privates wear a less feathery plume and lack the gold braid of the officer, so that their appearance is more somber, but still mar- - tia.l, with the scarlet bags on litheir hoadgear and the scarlet facings on their background of dark blue. Magnificent Indians, officered for the rnosl part by Englishmen, compose the Ninth Bengal Lancers. The officers wear white helmets of pith, stiffened by wire. ��������� .; In " The Armies of To-Day," Lord Wolseloy says:���������".

At the roar of tho entrance hall of my home is a small bay-window about four feet wide and eight feet long, writes Elizabeth Flint Wade. The win- do\\r as an addition lo tho house, and lhe opening into il, is not, as is usually the case, the length of the window. It, is threo and one-half foet in width, jusl thai of the original window of which this is an expansion, so tho bay-window is in reality a tiny room by itself. I use it in winter for a miniature conservatory, and stock it with plants which best bear the uncertain temperature of a house. Last winter instead of filling it with blossoming plants, I devoted it almost entirely la " green things I growing." Foliage plants, begonias and ferns formed the staple products, while every available bit of space suitable for such plants was used for vines. 1 had some plants which aranot usually cultivated indoors. In the autumn I went1 to tho woods and brought home hepaticas, blood-root, bed-straw, wild geraniums and Jack-in-the-pulpit bulbs. These I potted and put Ihem in tha cellar for three or four weeks before attempting the process of acclimatizing them to a heated house. In a week or two after they wero brought up and placed in the window they began to grow, and at Christmas time I had two pots of hepaticas in bloom. The blossoms were very largo and of a deeper lavender tint than when they bloom out-of-doors. The blood-root did net lesponci so quickly. It grew very slowly and did not bloom until February. The bed-straw began to grow almost at once and crept here and there amL ong the plants, attaching its sprays to whatever specimen took its fancy. Perhaps tho prettiest of these wood plants was the wild geranium, or Herb Robert. In this plant the leaves all start from a common center and form a rounded mass, the delicately cut foliage being of the most tender and bewitching green. These plants were grown in low pots, and served in turn all througlt the winter as floral center pieces for the dining, table.' Tho Jack- in the pulpit proved a fascinating addition to my collection. The "Little Minister " took -.very kindly to his new pastorate and in December sent up great, thrifty leaves and later appeared in full canonicals. It was specially interesting to watch the habits of growth of these.wild plants. One so seldom sees them except in f ullmatur- ity that it was a new experience to watch them from the,' beginning of their growth up to their full perfection. . ��������� .'��������� ":������������������'���������'. ".-.'. Of vines I had Asparagus plumosus and Asparagus, sprengeri, both of which plants demand the attention of the amateur. The latter plant . grew with the most astonishing rapidity, some of the sprays reaching a length of over/ three yards., The fine foliage of-this plant gives it a sort of misty appearance and when placed on a high bracket, it looks from a distance liko a littlo green fountain, sending up jets of water which falls around it in colored spray. A 'passion vine made a beautiful screen across the top of- the entrance of this littlo nook, and hung from' the center of the ceiling was a basket from which depended yards and yards of the common Wandering Jew, of the most vivid green. 3 lis window is heated from a register eight feet away across the hall, and the temperature was seldom above 70, and oftener at 65. When the mercury out-of-doors dropped belo\v the zero I sometimes put a small oil stove���������the tiny kind used for heating a basin of water���������at the entrance anf lot it remain for'an hour or two. I took care not to over-water the plants, but tho soil was never allowed to become entirely dry. Florists often.advise aina- teuiti to let the earth in the pots got ��������� dry and then give it a thorough soaking. I have tried this method and havo found that to treat plants in this way and have them grow successfully, thoy must bo cultivated in the moist almosphoro of a green-house. It will never do for tho dry, ovor-heated temperature of our living houses. Tim only fertilizer which I used was a small quantity ot .Tadoo liquid, perhaps half a dozen times during tho winter. I had one,or two plants each of geraniums, petunias, freesias, Johnsonii lily, etc., which blossomed during the season, but it was the luxurious gtrowllj of the foliage of the plants which did not bloom that gave me most delight, and I would advise anyone who loves plants and.who does not haye/success with blossoming plants '-to..tia- those which promise nothing but leaves. DOUBLE-FLOWERED CHERRIES. Double-flowered cherries are among our handsomest flowering shrubs oi small trees, the weeping forms being particularly graceful. A new variety _ which received a first-class certificate from tho Royal Horticultural society at London exhibition last May is named James H. Veitch; tho flowers are unusually large, very double, and bright pink-in color; the plants bloom while they are very small, so thai'Ibis shrub is likely to be grown in pots by florists. ; 1-'&,���������*���������"������v- i' . c- "V "V kxm h >T. - ..������������������ ^C^f.". .������ " I J. r.

Most of ..the-business residents as,well as the ' owners of lho mining properties have been hoping from the start that all ��������� governing' inflences. would ' eventually .grow; .into a settled condition ..that would guarantee, something like a ������������������������������������: permanency upoii. which definite business 'calculations'.might'bobased; and . it might bejust.as well that the gov- : ������������������'. errim'eiit should .give it the coup de grace and lot the' long-suffering people ��������� look for business openings elsewhere without further delay. ; "Hope deferred . 311 aketh-tl,ve heart sick,", and it might ��������� bejust as well for lhe gc-vernment to ���������'!. at once close up the'niines .ior a couple ��������� 'of generations, and let the .people go about their business without further thought.., It may be, as is. intimated, that the ; revenues of, tlie. liiines. have not-paid the cost of opening up the country, to the present; but, even if, so, it would , only, be repeating, the! history , of... all ; other new countries. As soon as steps are taken' to open up a mining prop- : erty, and long before it produces any revenue, it requires a trail or a road and shipping facilities ; but when they ' are once procured, the bulk of the cost tothe -government is over, and revenue returns then begin to re-imburse. It is much like, a man coiiimencing operations on a bush farm. At first it is all expenditure, clearing' for the returns to conic in later years. ���������From souio governments, however, the public may expect, anything, and .the present government' that used to ./declare, when seeking election, that preyiously there had been too niuch tinkering with the mining laws of the province; is a remarkable instance of ���������thisv. If, however, it is ways and means io raise revenue to relieve the provincial treasury of drains, that the government is after, there is another and much more sensible way of coming at its object. -If,'the government should at once incorporate school districts and empower school beards to raise all incidental expenses by taxation, as they should, the province would be at once relieved of one source of vexation, and more general satisfaction would be given to the people. There is no reason why the public of British Columbia should not have the best of school facilities and without a cent of cost to them in-any way, shape or form. Again, let tbe government create the whole unorganized country into district municipalities with power to tax their own personal and real property and incomes and thereby make their public improvements, and, our word for it, bettor satisfaction , will be ex- . ..pressed all around. The whole personal property tax of the entire province is less than $100,000 a year, when on an equitable assessment, the city of Vancouver would contribute this alone. The entire real and personal taxes or the unincorporated towns and villages of the country are but a mere fraction of what they ought to be; and if the residents under semi-municipal incorporation were given power to tax reasonably, and spend the money raised, ��������� on local improvements, there would be much more efficient service, ami less public grumbling. Why, wu ask, should mines more than any other institutions in Ihecountry be taxed exceptionally. If mines are shipping heavily they are employing many men, whose expenditures, are of,great service to the entire population of their surroundings, and why should not then j tlie surroundings pay some of the taxes necessary to keep up the outputs, as 'well as the mines themselves'/ The fact of tiie inalter is the requirements of lhe country are clamoring loudly for some able men .at the head of public affairs to remodel our financial machinery from beginning to end���������to cut off many of Mir present useless ex- penditures,i anil place revenue collecting and expenditure more in the hands CURES COUGHS AND COLDS. Mrs. Alonzo H. Thurher, Freoport, N.S.; says: "I hud a tcvero attack of Grippa and a bad cough, with grout difficulty in breathing. After taking two botllts of Dr. "Wood's Norway Pine Syrup I was completely cured." Work while you sleep -without a grip or gripe, curing Sick Headache, Dyspepsia and Constipation, and make you feel better in the morning. TO CURE COLT) IN ONE DAY. Take LaxativeBromo Quinine Tablets. All druggists refund tbe money if it fails to cure. 25 cents. of the people themselves. It may have been necessary for the government lo have run the country for a time on the lines of primative colonial niauag- ment; but it has largely out grown that condition now, and as a result is calling loudly for men at the head of affairs, with a breadth and grasp of intellect equal to the necessilses. Instead of attempting legislations on the requisite' lines for a province of our expansion, our precious government appears to be hunting for class legislation, throwing community against community, with lhe hope'of purchasing a majority vote to keep their own precious importance in oflice thereby. JUSTICE AS IT IS. Even British justice has some strange freaks occasionally. In Brandon, Man'., Hilda Blake, at hor trial, pleaded guilty to tlie charge of murder for shooting a woman with whom she was"employed, and she was sentenced by Judge Killam to be hanged on the 22nd inst. At the same assizes another woman pleaded guilty to manslaughter, in- taking her babe of six months and leaving it on the prairie to starve, perish .with cold or be devoured by wild animals, as might, be its fate, and she got a sentence of five years in the penitentiary. Now' Judge Killam. is considered one of the most capable judges on the Canadian Bench. We must then infer that in the one case ho had jurisdiction and showed leniency, and in the other, he had no alternative, and gave the utmost penalty. The hislory of Hilda Blake, who is but 22 years of age, is that in her younger years she was a waif and was deprived of that paternal training thai might have made her a useful woman and a credit to society. It has already reached the public that she bought the pistol, with which she did the deed, for the purpose of ending her own life, and in a peculiar condition of mind, she changed her intentions and thot her mistress. Of course it will be readily admitted that any one who cither.commits suicide or, in a moment of weakness takes the life of another, cannot beat the time of sound mind; and'if. ihe history of poor Hilda Blake's parentage was available, it might be ascertained she inherited weak or unfavorable mental conditions. It may also be said the other woman was not of sound mind, but there is a When- the children are .hungry, what do you give them ? Food. When thirsty ? Water. Now use the same good common sense, and what would you give them when they are too thin? The best fat-forming food, of course. Somehow you think of| Scott's Emulsion at or.ce. For.a quarter of a century. it has been niakinr thin children, plump; weak children, strong; sick children, healthy. I heartless phase of her case that may be altogether absent in that of Hilda Blake. Jj\ the one case there is an en- tiro absoj/ee of the ordinary feelings of humanity, for what woman possessing them could leave her own offspring, Hiuiling perhaps in her face at the time she did it, out on tlie cold prairie tcnieot with the most-suffering termination ii is possible to imagine. A full consideration of the two cases and a proper regard for the safety of our fellow beings would say il was unsafe, in their present state of minds, to leave cither of these unfortunate women at large; but if there is to be a death the places of the two women should be changed, although we are opposed to capital punishment, at least.| in such instances. It will be a crying shame" on the people of Brandon and district if they allow that poor woman lo bo hanged 'without at least doing whal they can to have her sentence commuted by the authorities - at Ottawa. Taking in tho facts that at best her early training was neglected; her parentage perhaps being vicious and in other respects bad; that she first contemplated suicide and in a moment of weakness changed her mind and'shot another with whom she never had a quarrel; that she refused counsel at her trial, and when fairly accused of the act acknowledged the whole truth and demanded the utmost penalty of the law for her crime, it is at once a clear case for executive clemency; and when saved from death if placed in a properly conducted reformatory, where her surroundings would be moral and educational, her later days might develop assurance of ah exemplary nature. 1 If ever there was a lame, indefensible law, it is that under which the voters' lists of the province are made up. The aim of later Canadian legislation is to give one vote, and one only, to every male resident 21 years of age, not otherwise disqualified ; but under the slip-shod law of this province a man can practically have as many votes as he likes-.in different parts of the country. For instance,.Tom Jones is a resident of tho Slocan today. He makes tlie legsl declaration and if he'ls 21 years of age and a British subject, and unless it can be proved he has left the province, his name goes on even at a court of revision. If a general election, or a bye-election follows, he can apply and have his name changed to the constituency in which he resides. Though his name was put on in the Slocan, if a bye-election is to take place7a month hence in Nelson, all that Mr. Jones has to do is to move to the Nelson division, a few days before polling, and vote at the election. If another election takes place in Victoria a week or so later, he can remove thither and have his name changed from Nelson to Victoria and vote there. In this way a faithful band of voters can go around the country carrying bye-elections to su|������their parly, which comes in pretty handy after protests, or in vacancies occurring in any other way. The proper plan is to make all register in the constituency in which they reside, and knock oiT their names after leaving it, with no changes from constituency to. constituency, until the revisions just before general elections. Now, there aro on the present Slocan list 1932 names, and it ia safe to say there are not more than 1100 of the parlies resident: of the division. The other 832 are either dead, out of the province altogether or, in other constituencies. If they are dead or out of the proyince, they ought to be knocked oil' the provincial lists al-. together, which could easily have been done had proper steps been taken before the court of revision ; but there is no provision for knocking them off the Slocan lists while they are residents of any other parts of the province. This is the great objection to the law as it stands. ' ' 50c ������nd $1.00, all druggists. _.8COTT & BOWNE. Chemists.Toronto.

" Yes, if you havo heard,any damaging stories aboul him, 1 advise you to let Mies Richmond hear one or two in a casual manner." " I am afraid lhat I know none." " Then invent them.

" Tour instructions are rather difficult," he said with a laugh. " IIow- Bver, it all seems plain sailing, and I will risk it. There is always some way out of the difficulty in such a cage, if things turn out diisappoinl- ingly." ��������� " It may not be so easy when you have my brother lo deal with." " Ho is nothing more to mo than any ono else. 1 am not a child lo be frightened by tin old man." ! Ho rose and strolled away. Kilmeny had promised hira another dance, and ho was waiting for it. " How did you onioy your promenade with Mr. Daryl?" ho asked her when they were again together. " More than any other part of lhe evening, but 1 had time to observe that you paid no attention to my admonition. You have relapsed into laziness evor since 1 left you:" " Oh, I never try lo do any better I Whalt is the good of life if. ono does not suit oneself. ? . Do ��������� you know all th'e people here?

For my part, I nevor could see lhe sense of interfering with people >r bothering about whether they are ���������trail-laced or not. One does hear queer itories abom Lord Monklon, and they , ure a wild set, if ono is lo credit all that people say, but what is that to uiybody else?" " It ought lo make a difference.

Then there is Warren-' dor-���������Warrender -of Merridale. 1 never guile believed thai any of the stories about him wero Irue until I missed, ���������jim to-nighl." ! ' " Mr. Warrender ?" Kilmeny said un- _ iertainly. | " Yes. He lives qu'ite close lo Mr.; Daryl, and belongs to a good family. I suppose it is because our host got too much of lhat kind of thing from his own people that he is so particular low.'" i "What do you mean ? What kind of thing 1" " Oh, well, one does not speak of It openly. Sowing one's wild oats gen-| ���������rally takes pretty much the same lorm. And there was some excuse for , iim, for he did not expect to be rich, tnd I dare say he wanted to get some ������njoyment ou'l of his money." 'I do not believe any stories. I know Mr. Warrender, and I am certain that they are not true, if they are bad ones!" . - ' i Lord de Bru|ync brought his gaze to her face,, with a'look of concern and compunction. "I beig you* pardon,'/ he murmured. t " I would not have said a word if I had known that Warrender was an acquaintance of yours I But I understood from lyou that you were a stranger and, knew nobody. You' are quite' right to sland ulp for your friend, and, Cor mjy part, I am su're that. nothing they say about him is true. I,too. never believe these things; they are io concern of mine."', i "Then you should'not speak about them," Kilmeny said, holding her head very high. It is not right to take away a man's character first, and then to< say that you don't believe the stories. Besides, I .know that you do believe in them. You said what you did: only when _,rou found out that 1 knew ; Mr. Warrender.

"I don't pretend that I have never done aixyi-binK; wrong," ho said. "Good ness knows I have many a sin on my conscience. Your rebuke is just Miss Richmond. But of late, you see,, I have turned over a new leaf, and am quite sleady now. Mr. Daryl, too, has be- I come a man.of benevolence, and Lady Penryth is j-econciled to her brother. So' wo are all on the good side and deserve some commendation." But Kilmeny's brow was clouded during the reisl of tho timo lhat they wero together. CHAPTER V. Kilmeny had taken the latchkey, and sho let herself in on her return home. There was a lamp lighted for cr in 'the hall, and she made her solitary, way to her own room, which' she occupied alone. She longed to see her mother, though it had beon arranged that no one should sit up for her, and she felt a terrible loneliness for the first time in her life, as sho sal. down in all her finery on the side of her bed and looked around her. Her father was far away and Christopher War- render seemed to be separated from hor in Some inexplicable fashion. He scarcely ever called, and then- only when she was Ou't. Kilmeny's thotight went back miserably to the evening when they had dined at his ,ho-use, which seemed (o her now lo have been the last happy time lhat she had known, ner mother had been different evor since, and had treated Christopher differently, Could it be that these stories which Lord de Bruyne had spoken of as notorious had she sat' there upon the bed, with her gay ball-dress crushed around her. She hated it as sho rose and put it off before she crept into bod, her heart aching and her mind full of unrest. The next clay Jessica brought her breakfast lo the bedside to her, and Mrs. Richmond followed, with a kind, wistful face, to look at her daughter, Jessica was eager to hear all about the ball, and Kilm<my tried to tell it with her usual spirit, conscious all the lime that her accounl was a failure. She knew thai Mrs. Richmond was watching and listening anxiously���������less lo what Kilmeny said than to how she said it���������but, when it was over, she went away, and Kilmeny was left alone again. The sound of Chris Warrender's voice outside and the tramping of his horse's feet presently aroused Iher. She sprang from her bed and placed herself where she could hear what he had to say. He seeinsd to have brought his horse close to tho window of the sitting room in order to speak lo Mrs. Richmond. "Good morning. All are well, I suppose ?" "All aro well, thank you," "nave you heard from Doctor Richmond ?" "No���������there has been no tiime yet." ���������'Well, good morning, Mrs. Richmond,"���������"Good morning." The horse drew back froml the window, and Kilmeny could hear its retreating footsteps as Christopher rode away. She dressed hastily and wenL downstairs. Mrs. -Richmond was alone when sho entreed the sitting room, and her eyes looked as if they had been lately .filled with tears. "Mamma," Kilmeny said abruptly, "Chrif- has been here. J could hear all that you said from my window. He did not ask for me; you did not invite .hi.m in. I want to know what has made this change?" "Dear Kilmeny, when Chris comes here you are nearly always out, and I dare say that disappoints, him." _ "That might accounl for the change in him, but not for the change in you. It began that evening in his garden." Kilmeny spoke In a voice which faltered in spite of her resolution. _ If Mrs. Richmond confessed to having heard anything against Christopher, anything which she believed to such an extent as toiriiiakei her resolve to put" an end to the intimacy between him and her family, Kilmeny felt: as if nothing was worth living, for. She would not care then what became of her or where she went. But Mrs. Richmond was silent. , "You heard something that evening which made you anxious to break off acquaintance with Chris. Y'ou wrote to papa next morning about it. Chris knows you wrote, and y'ou, and he are only waiting to hear what papa will say. Chris coines here.hb more until papa has written. ', Mamma, I heard something last night lhat gave me an idea what it was about, but I could not believe it. If it is true, if you are,convinced beyond the shadow!.of a doubt that it is true, do, not speak. Just be silent,^ and 1 shall know, what to think. I'couldnot bean to have it put into words." Her straining ears waited for- a sound, but none came, and when she looked at Mrs. Richmond she was weeping. . "Mind, I don't know what it is I" cried Kilmeny. "It was only a whisper which reached me, and I said that t did not believe it, but it must be true.' Don't tell me any more. I could not bear it. Let.us never speak of it. again." "I hoped it might be arranged somehow," said Mrs. Richmond. "I hoped you might not have to leave me, darling. Even now, if your father were home, something might be done. But h'S'. has not even had liimo to write, and I do not know what to do." "Could we not go away? We need not stay in'this house I" Kilimey. cried wretchedly, sitting down at her mother's feet and looking up', into her face. . "If we cannot speak to���������to��������� Mr. Warrender, or have anything to do with him, we ought not to be in his house. Let us.Jeavei at once." "We cannot���������that is the worst of il! And I feel jusl as unhappyi as you -at having' to stay in Chris's house when we have to treat h.imt so. But'I have promised hot to leave until your, papa's return, and he is to settle everything." ' "Then, mamma," K:lmeny said, "I must arrange so that I shall not bco Chris again. Please do not say any more about it, and let me go away myself. Do any of the others know ?" she asked suddenly. "No one . knows anything about it but you, and I hoped that y'ou might not hear of it until papa's return. If you like, darling, I will tell you the whole story now that you know something. I can fancy what a shock any whisper ot it must have been, to you." "I don't want to hear it," Kilmeny said, rising. "What I know is quile enough. I think, mamma, I will lie down for a little while, and please don't let anybody iu." She went away without waiting for her mother to speak. If she could only escape anywhere 1 If she need not continue living in Chris's house where everything reminded her of him! Last night's scenes, which the shock of the morning had driven out' of her mind, came back on her with a sense of longing. She might find oblivion there for the pain which she'was experiencing. She did not care for Lady Penryth's insolence or for any humiliation which might awail her if only she could gel away. A knock at her door roused her after a long time, and a note was thrust under it. She went to pick it up. IL was in Mrs. Richmond's writing and contained these words��������� "Mr. Daryl's carriage is waiting outside, and you are to go in it to see hiim.. He has something imporlant to say lo you. .1 am not lo speak to you before you leave. May Heaven watch over and protect my darling I" Kilmeny threw the letter down and ran out. She met the old servant in the hall. "Where is mamma ?" she cried. < "She went away a good while ago. She told me- not. lo disturb you until she had gone, and thati when the carriage came? I was to give you the letter." "Gone I How could mamma go without me 1 Who has beon here today ?" "Mr. Daryl was with the mistress for a long time.. But you need not ask mo any thing, miss. 'I never saw such goings ou since I came into the family, and that was jusl after Miss Jessica was born. Mr. Christopher never coinos'lo the house now, and you are taken up with Mr/ Daryl and his fine friends, and the mistress crying her eyes out whenever nobody is looking. And now she and tho children are all gone off home, leaving me to pock up and follow, without me knowing what anylhing means. But you, Miss Kilimeny���������you can go to Mr. Daryl's and enjoy yourself, and not trouble your head what, becomes of any of us." "As if I could enjoy anything without them all I" cried Kilmeny indignantly "You know that is impossible, Hannah. Oh, if there was only some one to tell m,e what il means! Why did mamma go away, and why am I left behind without a word? Tell me, Hannah; you know more than you say I Tell mo what' has happened I" "I know no more than you indeed. Miss Kilmeny 1 ��������� Your mamma said: you were to go to Mr. Daryl's, and ho would tell you everything." Outside the horses were stamping, and the coachman was looking in curiously and impatiently. Kilmeny glanced round the empty house, where her voice and Hannah's already went echoing through the silent passage. Everything was indeed changed, and nothing was left to her but Mr. Daryl, whose acquaintance she had wilfully chosen. Sho turned away from Hannah and went back to her own room. Presently she returned with her hat on. She hugged Hannah silently and went out, looking very proud. The footman ran to open Ihe carrage door, the coachman touched his hat. and they were oft. 'Kilmeny's bearing was just as proud when she went u'p the steps of the gloomy gray house which she had once so much longed to enter. Her eyes wero dry and bright. There was a footman wailing who requested Miss Richmond lo see his master in his own room, and she followed him. He took her to a part of the houjse where she had never been before, and ushered her into a splendid apartment in which the master of the house "was seated, waiting, impatiently. As Kilmeny's eyes /fell on him, she experienced'. a revulsion of feeling. He looked so shrivelled and cynical as he r sat there waiting for her; and there was such an evil gleam in his eyes, that she wished she had never seen him,. He sniiled,_ but the smile failed to brighten his face as he held ou't his hand to her. ~ " I hope Mrs. Richmond told you nothing further?" he said abrubtly. "How any one guessed my secret I am a|t a loss to know, but; as you know something and as other people have found out more, -nothing remains buft. for the rest to be published. Sit down ; have you any name but that outlandish one?" ' 'I have no name but Kilmeny. And if you please, I would rather not hear any more of the story you speak of." "Nonsense!" he cried sharply. "You have left vour old life behind, and you must forget all these people who brought you up. You belong to me��������� not them I Xhey were paid for what they did, and they have done wilh you. It is not fit that my granddaughter and heiress should be mixed up with peox>le who are merely respectable and nothing more." . "Your granddaughter I" .Kilmeny cried. "What can you mean? Doctor Richmond is my father, and he. is nothing to you! I do not know what you aro talking about I" ��������� "Then you did not-hear the story? What can that woman have teen thn'- ing of ?" " Do you mean, my : mother, Mrs. Richmond?" .'' "She-is not your mother I Sit down; what I have to tell you will take some time, though I shall .make it as short as possible. It is not exactly the kind of thing one cares to dwell on." Kilmeny obeyed. Everything seemed, to be reeling round her- in the shock of what she had just been told. To be Continued. HEROES II mm.

Thirty three years, the Frenchman, says, is tho fascinating age for woman, and nearly all mankind under 20 and' past 25 agree with the Frenchman. Byron found the young girl charming, bul complains that she is^ "All giggle, blush, half pertness and half pout, And glancing at mamma for tear there ia harm in what you, she, it, or' tihey may be about." And he, as well as the fin-de-siecle beaux, did not find the conversation oi young girls particularly edifying, for he says: "The nursery still lisps out in all they utter, Besides they always smell of bread .and butler." ���������A woman io be especially charming must have a close acquaintance with all the liltle foibles of human nature; sho must know the" shams of the world before she can assume them, before she can be diplomatic. The-young girl scorns diplomacy as something unworthy ; she isi'swe'et and gentle; but so dreadfully honest; her likes and dislikes are so strong. Extreme youth is merciless; it paints in, dark hiues. what it dislikes and dreads, and the dark hues aie just as exaggerated as the rainbow light with which it decks what it loves. To the young girl the world is a paradise devoutly believed in, and life is a picture with all its bright lighttr on. Sine is half a child, half an angel, dwelling In the clouds arid full of impossible ideals and sentiments. Aud poor, erring, earthy man finds it ax awful strain to try'to live up to tin? standard, to all the God-like qualitie������ with which hex imagination has en dovyed him. Is it any wonder, then. that, with a sigh of relief; he seekt the society of tha more mature woinar who allows him V; be himself- absolutely? " .

The tight-filling, costly uniforms in which Mr. Thomas Atkins appeals so strongly to lho fean- inine portion of our population are the outcome of much artistic effort on the part of military tailors, and admirably adapted lo the piping timiesi of peace; but when the day arrives for service in Africa, or in anyf other part of the world where excessive heat is likely to enfeeble the men, the. gay trappings must be laid aside in favour of more suitable material.

VERY POPULAR. Some army experts rtTe sirongly in fcrvor of a more extensive use , of khaki for the- purpose of campaign- ., Lhg, and especially of a variety called ���������'���������millerain drill." Officers stationed in India have borne testimony to the rain-repelling properties of this fabric- which made it particularly adapted for use' as an overcoat. The same "drill'' is also, suited for the construction of army tents, because the material does not absorb moisture, besides which, after rain, the tents are not so heavy to move about���������a very important matter to troops when, campaigning: A thermometer placed in millerain tents has proved that the temperature is 'tower by ten to fifteen degrees inside, . as compared with other tents. The clotli, being porous, the heated atmos- iphero is able to escape, while, the material turns the harvest downpour of rain. At the present time there are several regiments in India, cavalry and infantry, clothed in millerain khaki, as well as batteries of artil Iery. The suits which will be worn by our soldiers are not waterproof, but they are well adapted for bard work. lo "become dust" is khak- shudan. PATENTS BT WOMEN.

DiA.RRK0EA,CO-JGHS,| Mr. Krakenberg has commenced, on a -small scale as yet, the manufacture of cigars in the city, and is now ready to place them on the market. We understand.that he is a: man of extensive experience in that line,and will.doubtless make such an article as will command an extensive sale.in the city and surroundings. The C. P. li. passenger train in some manner jumped the track at the safety switch, near the Payne ore house, last Saturday morning. The engine and cars ran off about three feet, partly up the siding, and no damage was done, It is' supposed1 that the lock gave way and the switch turned after the first trucks were on, as the tender, which was ahead, did,not get off the rails. Mr. Lawrence came up from Nakusp and had the train in running order about midnight. A chap named Miller, in an eastern American town, advertised that he would pay people, who entrusted their money with him, 520 per cenc. interest, and in a lew days, his office was literally deluged with deposits. It is said he kept' the money in barrels. An Australian salesman sells cigars'at .��>1(>, bits of string at So, and he rakea in irom $150 to $500 in all the towns of Kootenay each night. If you should call the men, who throw away their money that way,* "fools" they would chase you around the earth with a shot gun. K. & S.
