The Reco is developing and mining steadily, and later will resume its old-time shipments. The lour shippers nt Three Forks and the three at McGuigan are doing .their regular work. The other younger mines around Sandon may not ship much until packing commences again, as caw-hiding is now dangerous on account of the prevalence of slides. < UNABLE TO WORK. Mr! Jos. Currier, Victoria Harbor, Ont,, writes: \"I had rheumatism in my knees, feet and elbows so bad that I was unable to work. Nothiug did me any'good till'I got Milburn's Rheumatic Pills. : One box and a half completely cured me.'' J. R. Miller, the Montreal drummer who got froze out of most of his lot alongside the Reco hotel, has bought a property in Greenwood at SS,500. The carnival held here on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was a \"roarin'\" success, there being a good attendance andt the ice for- curling, liockey and skating in excellent condition. ' Mr. J. A. McVichio deserves credit for.the his successful engineering of the- details of carnival, and the various committees for the diif'erent events. The Sandon brass band played at the hockey matches and carnival in their usual first-class style. As we go to press Friday evening ive aro unable to report tht? mns^uorad, which was not the least in the interest of tho young jieoplo. Curling Events, Although this is tho third year that tliis favorite amusement has, been carried on in Sandon there hits, not bi-en ns much enthusiasm displayed- or interest taken in tho games as heretofore. In tho .two previous years tlie gome w.is confined to Sandon .md Kaslo, while this year we have had representative rinks from liosslnnd, Slocnn City and Kaslo.

Mr. Booth was sitting in an easy-chair on tho verandah watching the pedestrainst as they passed along the street. He was pleased, that tho temperature had become lower, as presently, ho would accompany his sister and her daughter to dinner at the house of ono of their friends on ihe west hill. The thought of this afforded very little pleasure to him aa ho was quite satisfied with tho ease and quietness where ho was,, and tho boys would soon bo coming wit li the ' daily papers. But he bad accepted the Invitation so it was his duty to go, and duties hadto bo attended to. . Mr. Booth' was a wealthy gentleman and the .possessor of an extensive pedigree. He had in himself the qualities necessary^to' sustain a pedigree -with dignity and honor. , His appearance was grand. He was tall, dark-complexioned and strikingly handsome in every feature. He always dressed with taste and elegance- and his manner was faultless. Ho was .a member of a prominent legal firm in the city and although quite a young man, had Q.C., affixed to his name. He was a man- honoredTinember of society and his friends were proud of the fact that on two occasions his party had, offered him , the nomination for member of parliament; but ho felt sol diffident) of his ability to fulfil the duties, of tho office that he declined td accept the honor. His. sister Mrs. Russell, whom he was visiting in Owen Sound, was also one of whoso, virtues much could be said She had been a .widow for a number of years and her family of ono daughter and two sons were now. almost* grown up. when you mention that. And this place is so quiet and. different from what he Is accustomed to.\" \"That's just what he wants ��������� a change,\" put in Jack.���������\"I found it very pleasant to come back here after being in Toronto I assure you.\" In the evening of tho afternoon previously alluded to, Mr. Booth was . lo accompany tho ladies to dinner at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Mordie, on the west hill. Ho was ready a little before six o'clock, and finding that' he; would have to wait a while, took Addio's library-book,���������Thaddeus of Warsaw, in which h������ had already become interested���������and went out to the verandah to read. Presently Addio came down stairs, and seeing what ho was reading exclaimed,��������� \"Why, unrlvl You interested in that book! .Jack says it is just a pastime for sentimental idle women.\" \"It is a'good love story,\" ho replied \"and that is always, interesting ���������' to me, at least. But this is more. Some of the scenes are most pathetic. The misfortunes of the poor Lady Tyne- mouth are very touching, also those of tha hero, SoberskL Tho characters are all well drawn; some of tha ladies are so charming that it ia well for ono to have met , them even in a book.- You may tell master Jack, that it is necessary to have an ideal, and one's ideal is so seldom met with in life that; it would be forgotten altogether were it not for the heroes and heroines of stories like this.\" , . \".,.-:,���������, \"That is> my idea of a goo\"d story,\" she said. \"Why, I have read of great men���������scientists and philosophers, and politicians too, .whose time one might expeot would be all taken'up with their great plans -and; schemes���������who will, relax at- times.and read a love story.

Do, you think they; spent, their time working for. no purpose? They were endowed witli genius which was given ��������� to them for the. benefit of their fellow-creatures, and there cannot be any bettor way of imparting it.\" \"I am glad you tako that view of it -men don't, usually.

Sho persuaded her mother to invite Mr. Booth to spend his holidays -with them and while he would be there she thought she could easily induce him to see the advantage it would bo for them! toireside in the city, aud also the additional comfort it. would ,bo for himself to have a house of his own with his fond sister as mistress. She did not let anyone know her scheme for she knew it would not meet with her mother's sympathy, but so soon as her uncle would approve of it he would make proposals to his sister that would certainly be worthy her consideration. Addie felt assured. of success when her uncle's letter announced that ho hud decided to come and/ spend his holidays���������two weeks and 'perhaps three ���������with them. Mrs. Russet smiled radiantly, and Fred, the youngen boy, leap-frogged over Jack's head and went * away with such a bound as made! the House rattle like some machinery suddenly sett in\" motion Jacki remarked in his own quiet:way that ho would have some help with his classic authors, and a little German conversation occasionally. But Addie insisted that her uncle was not to be, bored about classic author or anything else���������he must, have complete rest for a day or two and; then' he should be entertained as ja guest ought to be entertained. \"Of course,\" sho explained,\" he'll find it very dull in this little place, and we'll just have to try and mako things as pleasant as possiblo for him, You boys might take him up to ,1 ho rocks and tolngils', or any place you think worth while.\" . \"Why, Addie, wo have splendid scenery here!\" exclaimed Jack, and nature is her just as well as in tho Thousand Islands or any place, uncle 'Arthur,has been. Besides (here are so many nice people wo can introduce to him.\" \"Well, well,\" replied Addie \"if it can 'only be made interesting for him I shall be satisfied.\" \"I think there will bono difficulty,\" he said. \"You/ have a queer notion of your uncle, Addie,\" said Mrs. Russel. \"You seem .to think he is a kind of wax figure that will sit up; for us to prattle (before him. I fancy you will find him quite the opposite. He is an athlete and Fred .will be with him; in that, and I'm sure he will be quite happy to help Jack a little with' his classics and German.\" \"Perhaps so\" said Addie, \"but I eannot help feeling a little worried appearance was very much the same at that of the Miss .Beaufort in Addie's imagination. Surely her uncle would not become interested in her and! ��������������������������� fall ���������in lovo with her and, finally, perhaps marry her, Oh,/ surely notl Fortune would not bo so cruel to them! But Mr. Booth was not, possibly, he would think of marrying if he found a lady suited to his fancy,^-and this ones very name would excite his admiration. It was all Addie's own f fault ��������� ,' , ,^e h:ui only;kept that book out of his way this might not have been so. She was completely discoursed and almost sick when she was aroused by. Mr. Mordie asking, her to come over to the piano and favor them with a few of her selections. In a moment she was at the music-rack looking^ for-a-piece that sho knew, she could play -perfectly. Her uncle , did not forget her; he was ready (o fix the scat for her and stood by to turn the music. \"I feel so unwell,\" she said, \" lam almost afraid fo trust myself to play.\" \"Are you, not well?\" he asked anxiously. \"Iu is th������ heat (hat head ache so,\" she feel a little nervous.\" She 171 light, lii.s eye ���������M sn,, Kp0jce ana ?������ .. ii i S0 klnd an<1 sympathetic that nil her anger and nervousness vanished. Then sho applied herself lo do her best, or, if possible, lo excel herself, so that Miss Egorton would not dare lo com������ after her. bhe did piny well and everyone expressed surprise and delight. Miss Egorton cumo forward, and taking a sheet from the rack, asked Addie as a favor to play it. Addie was a little, reluctant, for it was Scotch music that she had not seen before, but Miss Egorton pressed her, and she relented The melody was so full and lively and sho played it with such expression that her audience were enchanted. \"I congratulate you on your taste, Miss Egerton,\" said Mr. Booth. \"That is tho finest, piece I have heard Addie play, and she. has been very indulgent with me.\" \"Thank you, Mr. Booth, but it is not my ^ste, my father Ixmght it for me' at Christmas, and I have been practicing it over since, ..but I shall never he able to play it as Miss Russel did just now.\" has riiado my answered, \"and I ' Addie Is a genius, we all know, bul she is not the only one, I should like to be privileged to compliment you.\" \"I am sorry to disappoint you, sir; but now, I think that while I am in Owen Sound. I shall say that I do not play.\" \"Sho sings well, though,\" said Mrs. Mordie, \"and we must hear her tonight. Just ono of thoso old Scotch ballads, Emma dear, and I shall be satisfied.\" Sho seated herself before the piano, and, after striking a few chords from memory, she raised her voice, so rich and sweet, and caught the strains of \"Jock o' Hazeldeen.\" Both gentlemen gavo expression of their delight by the look of their faces, Mrs. Mordie beamed with pride and affection, and Mrs. Russel seemed to be thrilled. But Addio ! It was well tint nobody noticed hor, for sho was like a wilted flower,���������liko a rose that loses its beauty, yet retains its petals to cast them away in a decayed lump. Sho was while and motionless���������crushed by inexprcssiblo disappointment I hit only gave rise to scorn and hatrod equally inexpressible. She saw what a magnetism Miss Egerton hid about her,'even' to attract hfir.:.own mother, and heard how sincere were the compliments she received. How they all pressed her to sing again, and how eagerly they listened as she sung \"The Lasso' Gowrie.\" Addie had never made such an effect���������had never seen it, even at the concerts sho attended in Toronto. Sho was powerless. Nobody noticed her, whilo every one wis engrossed with a pretty: stranger who might be one of the most insignificant of ^creatures. However, sha could; not think that Miss Egerton, personally, was unworthy of all the praise and attention sho received; but to hear her get sb.much from her uncle was more than she could bear. Addie was falling into the way that jealousyhas prepared for such as she. The overthrow of her rival was now her only, thought. While the others were engaged in lively chat she sat; silent and sullen. Her mother whispered, something to ,her and Mr; Mordie remarked that she waa\" not saying, anything.! ���������:\"���������:���������'-' \"You must excuse me, Mr. Mordie,\" she said, \"My head is aching and I feel dormant, but I am enjoying your chat and I hope you will not mind me.\" ' \"I think we should not stay, longer when Addie, is so miserable,\" said Mrs. Russel. \"lam sorry to spoil the evening, but I think we have made the best of it, for It is past ten o'clock now.\" \"Nonsense.,\" said Mr. Mordie, but on looking at:his watch, he said no more. \"Yes,\" pleaded Mrs. Russel, \"but we shall,meet again soon���������\" \"To-morrow,\" said Mr. Booth, \"I propose to take the ladies down the bay if they are not too, doubtful of me as an oarsman.\" ..-;'. \"That will just suit Emma,\" said Mrs. Mordie, \"she thought we should have, gone out to-day when it was so warm.\" . .- ' ��������������������������� ' \"It will be delightful to-morrow,\" said Miss Egerton, \"I know we are going to have another very warm day.\" \"And it will suit you Addie?\" asked her uncle. \"Olvyos,\" she answered, \"if my heaS is better���������but I shall go anyway.\" Arrangements being mado and the adeux over, they went out into the soft darkness. Addie was glad 16 ��������� bo out) of the light so that she need not guard her countenance longer. Mr, Booth took hor arm, also her mother's, and thoy walked slowly and in silence for a little time. As they approached tho electric light, Mrs. Russel remarked: \"How charming Miss Egerton is,' and such a voice 1 Isn't it delightful?\"' . \"Sho is the most engaging lady I ever met,\" said Addie, \"Yet she seems a little sad, and I suppose sho feels that way sometimes.\" \"Why should sho be sad that is so charming?\" asked Mr. Booth. \"Well, on account of her brothers. You remember a robbery at Montreal about a year ago, in which two young men of that name figured so prominently: They ruined their father, too, and he had to go into business again just to make a living. I was in Toronto at the time of tho trial and I met a gentleman .. at Auntie Mary's who knew the family well.' H������ said that those two., boys could not be dealt with too severely, just on account, of their sister. She was going to be ma rned to a clergyman about the time it: happened, but she gave up her mar-i riage and everything, to stay with her father and try to comfort him, while he lived. This gentleman, Mr. Howard spoke very highly of Mr. Egerton and his daughter,'and was very indignant to. think that they were reduced and disgracel in such a way.\" '-, \"But they may hot have been, the same family, Addie,\" reasoned Mrs: Russel. \"Oh, yes,\" she replied, \"the lady's name was the same.��������� Emina Kgerton��������� audit is not common at all.\" Very little .more was said, and on reaching home, AilJie immediately retired. She had suffered a grievous disappointment and had told a monstrous lie, both of which circumstances had a weight of depression, and she needed the seclusion ani quietness ol hor own room. Mr. Booth took a cigar tind went out on the verandah, whilo Mis. Russel seated herself closo to him to have along talk about reminisennces of their childhood and youth. Addio did not come down to breakfast, in I he morning as she did not feel very well, nnd wanted to be well rested for the afternoon. She appeared at lunch, bright and cheerful, and eager for a good time.' Jack was dispatched to bring Miss Egerton down to Russel's, where they were to meet, thence to proceed fo the boat-house with their basket. All went well, for Mr. Booth devoted his atu-ntu-n to his niece, while iTack in his awkward way waited on Miss Egorton. Thsy kept to the east side of the bay, touching at Squaw Point and several pretty places where they could secure easy landing. Finally they landed at a nicely .shaded place a little to the north of Leith. li'inding n piece of sod in u cool secluded place, the ladies soon busied themselves sine.-!ding out their provisions for a much-needod lunch. When everything was ready the gen- lemen joined them, and they all partook of th>. good things in such a way as lo assure them that the sail had improved l.hoir appetites. They were all hearty and pleasant until Mr. Booth began to talk exclusively to Mi-s Egorton. Then Addia felt that sickly feeling return, so she arose and gathering up the fragments and dishes, replaced th?m in the basket which Jaok carried out to tne shore and put into tho boat. She followed him and for a while they walked up and down l ho shore picking up curious stones and getting the benefit of a cool breeze off tho wator. Jack suggested u tour through tho cedars and up to the village, which pleased Addie, so they returned to look for their companions. They found them just where they left ih^m, and so engrossed with their talk th.it they did not notice their return until Jiick spoke. They went helter- skelter among the cedar bushes, hero and there' finding some curiosity to linger over, nnd picking up something to be a souvenir of th.3 day. It required very little time for them to go through tho principal streets of the village, and that done they wont over to the church and-rested, a while, on the'doorstep. They went through-.. the churchyard nnd read tho --inscriptions on every stone. Addio and Jack found tho graves of some of-\"their acquaintance and wero able to give a little interesting reminiscence such as an occasional name, would suggest. They lingered there, no one speaking and each filled with awe as they looked' over tho silent congregation in that quiet country churchyard. Suddenly a loud clap of thunder was heard over- hea d. Thoy had not noticed the clouds gathering as they wandered among the graves, but now they saw that a storm would be on them in a few moments. They hurried back to\" the village and reached the store just in time to escape a viol ont thunder storm. Addie was very nervous, and her uncle held hier' hand; while, the^ storm-'continued.

Professor James W; Robertson livered an address upon \"Tho Press and Agricultural Progress in,Canada,\" at tho meeting of the Canadian Press Association, held in Toronto last week. He pointed out that good times followed the Ibrtunes of the farmers, because they created its wealth. Last year the farmers had good crops and now we had \"growing times.\" ,It was important that the farming community should be . well informed, and the press was the agency of information in Canada. It .was the-duty of the press to impress ��������� upon the. farmer the necessity of availing himself of the most 'improved machinery in order to insure steady progress. As to the possibility of progress in agricul ture, it could bo appreciated' when he said that the country cultivated 20,000,- COO of acres, and that 300,000,000 acres of land equally good might be cultivated, Ontario in that case would support 20,- 000,000 of people. He proceeded to say that, in ten years the press could place tho dullest farmer as to information in regard to agriculture on an equality with the best informed farmer now, This levelling up would mean increase of wealth as a result of improved: working of farms. The press of to-day was ono of the great agencies of civilization, In Canada the newspaper reconciled the farmer to his isolation. It helped to mould his opinions arid it could bemade to foster the courage of the farmers by recognizing more fully their worth and by giving them the praise their due. Those jokes that appeared about \"hayseeds\" did, in many cases, much harm, by causing boys to belittle the occupation .of their'fathers, and desire to rush to the overcrowded cities. The press often' was of infinite service to the agriculturist by pointing out new openingsfor special kirids of farming; for special products. He advanced several cases where profitable departures had been made by the farmers of certain, sections in consequence of the instigation of the press. Then the press could persistently call attention to the fact. that for every dollar's worth of our products the United States bought. Great Britain bought to the extent of ������13.50. With this fact emphasized, farmers would, see that it was to their,in- toreLt to grow products, acceptable in the mother country, which they would clearly be, willing to buy, and that it would be unwise to look:to bur southern neighbors who were indisposed to buy, and might at any time stop our present small sales to them.

War may be \"hell,'' but there are various enterprises which depend entirely upon it for existence, After the manufacturers of war materials the shipbuilders are most happy over international contentions. In those days of commercial enterprise, when every great nation has its' trading fleet, as well as its fighting ships, the risks run owing to the necessity of obtaining supplies abroad are enormous. The scouring of the seas by the hostile fleets, the sinking and capture of ships, so diminish the; number of vessels on the seas that. no industry; outi8ue of that which provides war material is sO active. The dockyards in time of war tire'kept.-.in-a state of incessant activity, add every shipbuilding yard in the land is in full work, seeking to perform, the almost impossible task of keeping pace with. the wear and tear, of war.time among the sea-going craft. Of course, there is extra wear and tear with soldiers' clothing in an active campaign, and this lends extra activity to the clolhing industries. But, all things considered, shipbuilding undoubtedly is the industry most benefited by a wiir. Even when the war is over a long time elapses before the rhipbuililing trade assumes its normal level of activity. It is no exaggeration to say that among \"Stately homes of England,\" there aro many which could not be bought by as many gold coins as would pave tho sites on which they stand. Perhaps the most remarkable of these costly pleasure houses is Mount Stewart, Rothesay, one of the six palaces of the many-millioncd Marquis of Bute. More money has been lavished on this \"miracle of masonry\" and sumptuous adornment than would carpet its site of an,acre two and a half times over with ������5 Bank of England notes. To buy it would' reduce two millionaires to their, last penny; and 'every one of its 150 rooms have cost on an average over $65,000, or more than' sufficient to build a: dozen, suburban houses with some pretension- to importance���������in the eyes of their tenants. One of the largest of English country seats is Lord Fitzwilliam's Yorkshire house; Wentworth'Woodhouse. This' colossal building has'a length of no less: than 200 yards. Its hall is 40 feet high; and has an area of 3,600 square feet; it is so large, in fact, that a half dozen suburban houses could bo comfortably placed in it, and it would be possible for its owner ,'to live nearly six months in Wentworth Woodhouse without spending two days in the saine room. In addition to this commodious house Lord Fitzwilliam has a house in Gros- venor'1 Square, and- a seat in County Wicklow, while he has an income of over ������2,500 a day on which to maintain them. i There are few, if any, private houses which are \" SO GREEDY OF THE SOIL \" as Raby Castle, Durham, which stands on' no less than two acres ' of ground. Goodwood, Chichester, one ofl the Duke of Richmond's four houses; has a'length of 12fi yards. Eaton Hall, the well- known seat of the Duke of Westminster,, has a single corridor much longer than'the height of St.,Paul's Cathedral. Lord Leconfield's Sussex seat, Petworth' House, is 107 yards long, and Blenheim Palace is longer still. Blenheim Pala.ce, indeed, is one of the most marvelous and bewildering of all these mummoth houses. With its countless rooms, corridors and staircases it would be quite possible for two people to spend a .lifetime in it without knowing, of each other's existence. Nothing, perhaps, gives a , more breath-taking idea of the size and costliness, of this palace, built out of public money, for the soldier Duke, than1 tho fact that a single repairing: bill is said to have amounted to over $1,500,000, while the yearly glazier's\" bill runs well into four figures. It is more.than remarkable that one of the- very ugliest houses in England, plain almost to the verge of the ludicrous, is one of the most valuable mansions in the world. Devonshire House, as, seen from Piccadilly, might appear to a casual eye to be dear at $1,500 a year; and yet its rental value cannot be less' than $150,000 a year. The Duke's bedroom in this \" TREASURE OF BRICKS \" was, in his ante-nuptial days at any rate, as plain and unattractive as the building itself; arid probably $15 would have bought the entire bedroom suite of a man one alorie of whose seven houses would make him a millionaire^ Stafford House, St. James, ranks high among the stately houses of London. Hundreds of thousands of; pounds have been lavished on tha house and its decorations. Its magnificent marble staircase alone represents a small fortune ; its walls are beautiful from the brushes of famous Italian painters, and it is crowded-with pictures and bric- a-brac of almost priceless rvalue. - Dorchester House, which gave hospitality to the Ameer's son, is said to have cost ,$2,000,000 ;; and Lord Burton gave $750,000 for Chesterfield House, South Audley street, with its sumptuous library and its unique marble staircase. , ,; - ' ' -- The Duke of Bedford's house in Bel- grave square, Lord Rothschild's inPic- cadilly and Lord Portm:in's in Pbrtman square are among the houses which are the despair, of men who do not make as much in a life-time as would pay a quarter's interest on the capital each plonsuro house represents. to, become at once inured to their tiny in the house. uuu iVJ .... ,k jir.ll^, 1UAUJ1UU9 IVLlit rights shall be just as much respected Ferns should be potted young, so as your, own aro; lot them never have ' ' reason to doubt that you love them dearly and that you punish them not for your own pleasure, or because you are angry and can safely vent your passion iipon them, but lor their good.

MARVELLOUS ADAPTATION OF THE GREAT DISCOVERY. It's Fast, Easy ana Clicnp���������Can Be Used for Writing hit Well as Printed Matter- How It Is Worked. In the Electrical Engineer, an article on \" A New Process of Printing,\", by the use of tho X Rays,\" by Dr. Frederick Strange, Kolle, opening up what he claims to be a feasible method, one of whoso features is, the immense number of impressions of records that one man can turn out. Dr. Kolle says that the. first suggestion of printing by the use of the X raya came from Prof. Elihu Thomson two years ago, when he showed that multiple radiographs could be made ' at one exposure ; these he called skiagraphs. Thu experiment showed that more than a single sheet of sensitized paper would be affected by the rays when laid on������ upon the other. There were then, however, many objections to the process, which Dr. Kolle declares hava been overcome, and now, he says, typoradiography is not a theoretical dream', but. A PRACTICABLE PROCESS which will overcome tho cost and labor of composition, the limited time of striking off copies,.arid keep theentira work a- secret from tho printer; a valuable fact not to be overlooked in diplomatic documents, letters, communications, etc. Besides this, the matter to be typoradiographed need not appear in typo, characters, but;can be written, permitting the actual reproduction ��������� of the original. The ink to be used is first taken up by Dr. Kolle. He. says a suitable writing ink would1 be composed of red lead, powdered gum arabic, glycerine; and water to make proper solution. ' For type work a semi-fluid mixture; of red' lead, potassium bromide, and glycerine sufficient to make a paste would be advisable.. These inks will, however, only permit, of white text on a black background, therefore, a second,or \" unfatty \" ink which will ' permit of black characters on a white, background must be used. Bichro- matized: mucilage, which has not been exposed to light previous\" to its use, in order that its non-adherent property may be retained, is suggested for the writing. The \" fatty\" ink then applied with a roller will adhere to th������ unwritten surface of the paper; leaving the letters uncovered or free foi 'the penetration of the X-rays. . Another method of preparing the phototype would be to print or write the text with an adhesive or mucilaginous ink, and then dust it over with some opaque metallic powder such as biniodide of mercury, zinc oxide, or lead ovide ; or the letters may be writ- ' ten with the non-metallic.ink, the remainder of the, surface being dusted upon a previously gummed copy/thus giving a black text upon a white background. ' .THE PAPER. Arter the copy is prepared, the sensitive paper on which it is to ba printed is made into what Dr. Kollo calls a senso-block, which contains 50 to 100 sheets. -It is then mounted or clamped into : a form���������sensitized side up, upon which the copy or^phototype is' laid���������facing up,' and is thus subjected to the action of the X rays; for ordinary printing at a distance ol, from ten to sixteen inches. The current is turned off after an exposure of about 10 or 12 seconds, and the block taken into a dark room for developing, With all the difficulties of poor ink, apparatus, etc., overcome, Dr. Kolle says, 20 senso-blocks, each containing 50 sheets of paper, might be arranged ' :���������; around one X ray tube, which would give 1,000 copies every' 10 seconds -ot exposure. -. This would give 6,000 copies per minute, and if ten ���������-tubes were used 60,000 copies could be -made in one bouir at a , ���������' NOMINAL COST OF OPERATION. THE QUEEN BUG ENT.

The deepest hole in the earth is near Ketschau, Germany. It is 5,375 feet in depth, and is for geological research only. The drilling was begun in 1880, and stopped six years later because the engineers were '-unable with their instruments to go deeper. He goes further in his deductions and declares that ten men working eight hours a day could make at least 250 exposures each during that time, which would represent 7,500,0110 copies a day, which could be developed, fixed, washed and dried within ons working day. One of the advantages of the process, it is claimed, is that the copy, before it is developed might be enclosed in a sealed, light-proof envelope, to be developed by the. receiver, so that it would be impossible for tho contents to be known by any one but the writer ami (he recipient. It is suggested further that some secret process !of.sensitive paper making and developing might bo suggested to bo used for copies sent by special envoys, spies, secret messengers, etc., which it opened by any one but the tight person would contain nothing but blank paper, which would respond only to one developer, the composition of which might be a government secret THE CLEANEST PEOPLE. .

Zfoe ffiMrtino IReview SATURDAY FEBRUARY 25, 1899 \"FIGHTING\" JOSEPH. A con temporary asks why The Rk view is so \"down on the Hon. Joseph Martin.\" This paper is not clown on bin), but'the writer, knowing the man and his political history better than any man in the province knows them, and having some regard for the welfare of the province of his adoption, cannot refrain from giving some of hi* history : Joseph settled in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, in 1SS2, and shortly, after an agitation commenced against what wero alleged to be extortionate rates of the C. P. Ii., the wickedness of the Canadian tariff, etc., etc. Joseph threw himself bodily in with tlie agitators, and at once became a leader ol \"The Farmers' Union.\" Joseph was then so much of\"'a. farmer that he used lo'de- ��������� ' clare the C. P. R. were \"tearing the life's blood out of the people.\" Joseph has since become solicitor for the \"ceares,\" and we hear no more about \"the. life's blood of tlie people.\" In short, if we remember aright, at a meeting in Vancouver in July last, he declared himself a friend of ll*c U.P.R., ignoring \"the life's blood\" altogether. In the midst of that agitation in Manitoba, the Winnipeg Free Press on one occasion called Joseph a Liberal, and next day he ivtotc the paper demanding a retraction or he would sue it for libel. He'-then had a contempt for Liberalism because the mob in whose .puddle he was ii huge toad was disposed to be non-political. We do not want it placed to his discredit, but at that time his worldly all was not very weighty, excepting his love for agitations. Shortly after this, by defeating one of the laziest men in Portage ia Prairie by 7 votes,ahe became a member of the Local Legislature, as a Farmers' Unionist and Provincial Rigliter. Tlie abolition of the French language in the Legislature and the separate schools in the province, was- at this time mooted, and Joseph declared before a French audience, , in ' a contest in St. Francois Xavior, that if the Liberals (lie wiis then moulting his first feathers and,becoming a Liberal) came into power, ho would see to it they would hot disturb either the French language or the separate schools. They came into power within three months, and ini three months after that he himself introduced a Bill abolishing the French language and wiping- out the,separate schools. So much for the word and honor of Joseph. In a few months after a contract was made stealthily by Joseph Martin with the Northern Pacific Railway Co. for the construction of some 300 miles of road. In it was an extraordinary clause saying the company were to get from the government, of which this ; same Joseph was Attorney-General, ������500 for \"organization expenses, etc., etc.\"; This involved about : $150,000. In court it was shown that more than $10,000 altogether could not have gone in organization expenses. The rest was intended presumably for \"etc., etc.,\" and to this day, on this point, the people of Manitoba have been left in total darkness. Shortly after his law partner, Smith Curtiss, was part owner in a newspaper in Portage la Prairie,and it declared Joseph to be\"in the front rank of provincial capitalists.\" With reference to his school move we may say that it cost Canada and Manitoba some hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the schools are now in the shape in which they could have been placed by modifying the original law and non interference with the dual system. But Joseph is nothing if not a leader of mobs���������a veritable pelican in a storm. . He thought connection with tho Farmers' Union and the rooting out of separate schools would so popularise him in the province that nothing coulii withstand his prowess. This, arid this alone, is what led hirn into these movements. There are a people in British Columbia, howeyer, who know not Joseph. A Vacancy occurred in Selkirk constituency, for the . Commons, and Joseph was told by his premier, Thos. Greenway, that he must resign the attorney-generalship of the province and become the Liberal candidate for the Commons. As but Hobson's choice was left him, he ran and was beaten by 475 votes. But did Green- way keep the attorney-generalship open awaiting events? No; as soon as lie got Martin out he put Sifton in and Joseph was then ho where, politically. He next rain for the Commons in Winnipeg and was elected. A lew months later he ran there again against Hugh John Macdonald, Minister of the Interior, and was defeated. He unseated Hugh John and' implored Laurier to give him the portfolio, to which he was fully entitled according to all party usuages.: Laurier, however, ignored his pensive prayers and gave it to Sifton, and for this Joseph has his knife in to them both. This is Joseph in Manitoba, with the addition that whenever he was cornered on the platform���������rwhich, by the way, was frequently���������his way out was to pull off coat to thrash his opponent. Surely it is not to tho advantage of this province that he should be allowed to repeat himself here, as'his apparently helpless colleagues seem disposed to allow him,to do. By the elections in July last, and subsequently by the help of the Lieut.- Governor, the people of the province thought they had gained some advantage, legislatively ; but Martin appears to bo the cow that kicks over tho pail of milk. We see in the interview, which accounts for a great deal; We may say once for all that Mr. Harris has not now,and never had, anything more to do 'with-the ownership or editorial direction of this paper than he has with the,course of the moon, notwithstanding the rumors of the Demosthenian brain of \"Hon. E, R. Atherton, Postmaster-general, City. Councillor and Merchant Prince of Sandon.\" When the \"Hon.\" was at the funny business why-did he not explain why it was he was'forced out of the mayor's chair of the city, to give place to a new and untried man, and compelled to tnice a subordinate position.

He next passes an act disqualifying the bulk of civil servants of the province from voting in'either Local.or Federal elections. He again passes a placer mining act and threatens rebellion on the Federal government if they disallow it. no matter what their obligation to do so may be. To spite Laurier and Sifton i'or doing him out ol the Interior Portfolio he cancels the Q. C. distinction of certain lawyers of eminence in Is it not a pity that the politicians of this country cannot show some degree of ,honor and fairplny in their references to opponents. Our readers will remember that. Lieut.-Gqvernor Mclnncs, in dismissing the Turner government, trumped upas one .charge that Turner & Co. in sending: warrants to him for signature interlaid them with blanks eo that he might be trapped into signing some of the blanks that they could fill them at will, and,use the money as they liked. The Province, and papers of- that ilk played with the accusation in' great force. Before the public accounts committee, the other'day, - the matter was fully explained, ��������� and Ministers Semlin and Martin accepted the explanation fully exonorating the late ministers. The latter, very properly, asked to have the explanation embodied in the report, but no; they would not even allow it to go in .1 minority report. The: idea of'Martin,& Co. is, first blacken opponents ns far as possible, and then refuse light iu extenuation to'the public. But this wilt not wear. The Review is no apologist for Turner & Co., but it must revolt at some of the contemptible acts of their successors. \" KKKIlDV K1CIRSTEAD. ���������There, is not a. mother in this land who lias a child suffering-from skin disease in any form but will thank Mrs. Keir- stead, of SniilerMt., N.B., for telling- of tlieromarkablc manner in which her boy, Freddy, was cured of one of the severest and most torturing- of skin diseases by the use of Burdock Blood Bitters ; and liot only relieved and cured for;the,time being-, but, mark you, after eight years the disease has shoum no sign of returning.

This is the way Joseph ij running things in the. province, and because the people are not enamored of Tumerism they are asked to support Martinism. It is a moral certainty that there will be a general election the conning summer, and the duty of the electors will bo to support candidates who are independent of both Turner and Martin, and a government will be built on the ruins that will reflect some degree of credit on the province. \"THE HON.

That gentleman always has an itch for interfering in,other people's business, and doubly so in regard to The Review, because last year the paper stood between the people's interests and his (the ex-mayor) floundering incapacity.

PROTECTING .EARLY PLANTING FROM FROST. It often becomes necessary for gardeners to protect their early plantings from the late frost, and the method most satisfactory will depend largely upon surrounding Conditions. As a general rule we find that dirt is the most economical covering for 'nearly all small plants, When it is in suitable condi.ion to handle, and it v& tha most rapidly applied. To cover cabbage plants, press the plant to one side until it lies flat upon the ground, then with a hoe gently draw the soil up over ii until it is completely hidden. Sweet corn, potatoes, and in fact nearly all plants can be treated in the same way. In uncovering rake, tho soil off carefully aud straighten up the plant and ln a few days it will bo- growing as well as if it had not been buried. Tomato plants are sometimes so large and stalky that it is impossible to lay them down without breaking and other means-will have to be resorted to. If boxes or large flower pots are not available to turn over them, the earth may,be mounded up around them so that they can be buried.standing. Or better still, light horse manure can be used for covering. This makes a very efficient covering, especially if shavings have been used for litter, a's they lie more closely about the plant than straw. This covering is often used for other plants, especially melons and cucumbers, and is more easily applied than dirt when the ground is wet. Whatever covering is used, do not leave it on too Jong so that the plants vill begin to Heat, even if they have A Close Connection found Kctvreen Color and Pci-fumc An exhaustive examination of flowering plants reveals that only, about 10 per cent, of them are odoriferous. Tho red flowers and those which have combined colorings approximate to this average, while yellow flowers are slightly below it. Of blue flowers only 0 per cent, axe scented, and in those of a violet color the proportion is still farther reduced. White flowers are most odoriferous, 15 per cent, of them being fragant, and it is a matter of common, observation that the white varieties of garden flowers are generally more highly scented than, the colored numbers of the same species. It has beeriJ noted that flowers of a brownish hue have usually a disagreeable smell, and in the case of the stapedius or carrion flowers the odor is scarcely distinguishable from that of putrescent meat, and proves attractive to those insects which feed on decaying substances. As a rule where the inflorescence is brilliant and conspicuous, perfume is deficient, but many striking exceptions will readily suggest themselves. The perfume, like the coloring of flowers, plays an important part in securing cross fertilization by the agency of insects, and.the presvnee of one attractive factor enables tha plant to dispense in many cases with the other. HINDOOS VACCINATED. A distinction must be made between inoculation for the prevention or mitigation of smallpox, and vaccination,' which is, the grafting of cowpox, as a protection against the severer malady. Inoculation was practiced by Turks, Greeks, Syrians nnd Circassians long- before. Lady Mary WorlJey Montague brought it to England. It was after this that Jenner made his so-called discovery of ��������� vaccination or inoculation with virus from the cow instead of from the human subject. There is, however, not the slightest doubt that true vaccination in this sense was long ago known to and practiced by the Hindoos as a preventive of smallpox, because distinct references are found to it in Hindoo medical treatises which are certainly several centuries old. WHY SOME WOUNDED DER VISHES WERE KILLED. to quietly make sure that Fuzzy is really dead by planting a spear in him before he rises up arid surreptitiously does the same to you. As bearing upon the present controversy it is interesting to recall the fact that a similar outcry was aroused in 1884 and 1885 through .the indiscreet publication in one of the leading English newspapers by a Mrs. Scott Stevenson of a letter addressed to her by her husband, Lieut-Col. Scott Stevenson, then second in command of, the famous highland regiment known as' the \"Black Watch.\" This regiment of the house while hor mistress was visiting at Aix-les-Bains, France, was returned with' the post-office stamp \"not known\" across its face. The mistress had written home cer-. tain instructions, using the letter paper of the hotel where she stayed; the maid had replied, having, as she supposed, carefully copied tho address from the printed letterhead. But unfortunately the hotel employed that conveniently conspicuous corner to mention a few of its advantages, with the result that she mailed an envelope boldly inscribed: \"Miss Blank, Hotel Britanniquo, Ouverl.toute L'Annee, Asconseur Hy- drallique.\" The number of hotels kept open all the year round and supplied with elevators proved sufficiently large to dis-' courage the French officials, and the letter found its way back to London. It was returned to tho sender, who was much perturbod, until a friend of the lady of the mansion chanced lo call, to whom she showed it, when an explanation ensued and she obtained a more definite address.' Perhaps this incident Is fairly offset by another in which it was the* post-office official whose knowledge of foreign tongues was deficient. A French lady living in England had I lost many newspapers in the mail, and went to the village post-office to animal, would be far more likely to u act as a deterrent from crime than the complain.

The thickness of armor on modern war ships is truly astonishing. The side armor of a finst-class battleship usually varies froini 1(5 1-2 inches thick at the top of the belt to 9 1-2 inches at the bottom. The gun-turners are often protected by armor from 15 inches to 17 inches thick. Lieut.-Col. Stevenson related with much guslo to his wife in the letter addressed to her, and which she published, how after the battle was over, he, as well as other officers and men of his regiment, liad armed themselves with dervish spears and had proceeded to the battle-field for the purjiose ot putting the wounded dervishes out of their misery, or, rather, beyond the power of doing injury. It was not so much thu actual killing of it ha maimed foe lis the inani-i fest relish with which Col. Scott Stevenson described how he and others had run their spears in and out of the bodies of ihe prostrate wounded that caused an outburst of indignation analogous to that which is now raging throughout the United Kingdom. I3ARBARIC METHODS NECESSARY, Tho incident of Col. Stevenson and the Dervishes is thus recalled by Ex- Attache, writing in the New York Tribune: ' . j There are certain necessities in con- noe'iion. ���������wiith, -war, against bar|bairou3 nations which it is impossible to eilh-, er to explain or even to excuse in the yes of (hose civilians who stay at from, their lips, not only of killing wounded and poisoning desert wells��������� the most grievous offense against the laws of Arab chivalry���������that are quite in keeping with. those put into print by Prof. Bennett, but likewise the reasons which rendered absolutely necessary such stern treatment of the dervish wounded and- women. .'��������� DANGEROUS DERVISHES: It was not in a spirit of retaliation that tho women and the wounded were put to death, although the. appalling atrocities to which the English and Egyptian soliders who fell into the hands of the dervishes were more than sufficient to call forth passionate sentiment of this character, but it was solely with the.view of self-protection. For, as has often been stated of late in print, a wounded dervish is quite as dangerous as a whole race, and will knife without hesitation the ambulance man, and the surgeon who tends his injuries, or the soldier who offers to share with him that most precious of all possessions in desert campaigning, namely, the water bottle, while us to dervish women and camp followers, they have on each occasion accomplisho their men into battle with one and the sole object of inflicting nameless horrors upon those struck down by dervish reason is made obvious by a straggling endorsement in red ink from the pen of some village friend of the addressee, \"Job David is dod and beried.\" Near it is one of the most curious of recorded addresses: \"Mrs. B.- Wearing a Large Bear Boa, Violet Flowers in - Bonnet, Promenade, mornings, Ab- crystwith.\" This letter was from the lady's son, who had mislaid his mother's seaside address. The letter was duly and pomptly delivered. ,'; home and who have never been beyond lance, swords or rifles, the boundary lines of civilization.

They QUEER BELIEFS ABOUT SEVEN. , So numerous are the queer beliefs concerning' the number seven that a narration of them all would fill a volume, but we may mention a few of 'them.' From the very earliest ages the seven great plants were known and ruled this world and the dwellers in it, and (heir number entered into every conceivable matter that concerned man. There are seven days in tho week, \" seven holes in the, head for the master stars are seven,\" seven ages both for man and the world in which he lives. There were seven material heavens, and in the under world described by Dante the great pagan dead who were not good! enough for heaven or. bad enough for. hell reposed in a seven-walled and seven-gated- city. There are seven colours in the spectrum and seven notes in the diatonic octave, and the \"leading\" note of the scale is the seventh. Bel it noted that; the seventh son is not always gifted with'beneficent powers. In Portugal he is believed to bo subject to the powers of darkness, and to be compelled every Saturday evening to assume the likeness of an ass. v.���������. 9 ��������������� r _ it\"*~ SI - ^. v t Young Folks. SOME QUEER THINGS. It's queer when the .world seems steady It really is whirling so; It's queer that ihe plants got larger, When no one can see them grow; It's queer that tho fountain's water Leaps high in the sunshine bright; Ami queer that the moon can never Fall out of the sky at night. 1 It's queer that one clover blossom, Is white and another red, When the sarno black earth surrounds them, The samo rain waters their bed. It's queer that of all these wonders - We take so little heed; And that, as for feeling thankful, Wo seldom seo the need. We scold if the weather's chilly, And fret at the hot sunlight; Don't like to get up in the morning, Hang back'from the bed at night; And qufoeror than all the queer things Aro surely those girls and boys Who live in the' world of beauty, ' And rather see woes than joys. MOTHER ELEPHANT AND BABY. I -wonder if any of our little people have sefcn a mother elephant .put her baby to bed ? I sa������iv it once, and it was such a pretty sight, I .should like to tell you about It. It was sunset time, in summer, a/nd the gentler animals of the Zoo, in one of the great cities of 'the world, were in yards and folds outside the buildings. When I reached (he inclo- surie belonging to Mother Elephant, there was) a large number of men, ;wo- nuen and children standing along the fence. They were very quiet, an if they wetre afraid of disturbing some one. As I stopped by the fence and looked in the yard, a small girl, touched my skirt, pursed up her mouth, and, giving me a solemn look of warning, pointed to the elephants Mamma Elephant . had her trunk around her baby's- neck, and seemed to be whispering a,nd encouraging him, as he rubbed his hoad against her knee. He stood for a moment, then raised his head., flapped his big little ears, gave a flirt of his lillie cord of 'a tail������ and trotted off by his mother's side, to the center of the yard.' There she left him, aind went to a pile of hay thtit stood in a corner; this she look up. bunch by bunch with her trunk, so nicely that she 'did not drop a whisp of it, and spread it around her child, who had not stirred from the spot where she ha.d left him. When the hay had been all spread round tho baby', (he mother steppod into thto center, a'nd began to tread it down with her feet, the little .ono following hbr motions exactly, till a perfectly even space had been ��������� trodden down ; then Mamma Elephant stepped ou1. again, went to the further side of the yardi and fumbled about the 'ground with hpr trunk. ���������As she cam������ back' her baby flourished his small trunk and flapped his ears, making at the same time a soft grunt- laid over the end of tho cob for the head; shaping it as well as possible; this is covered with a very smooth piece of husk, and the, eyes, nose and mouth marked with a pen or pencil, and a little bit of carnuino is pu,t on the cheeks to' give her, the flush of health. Some of the best husks 'are selected for tha dress, a few of them������ being Stained with a pink analine dye for triminiing. Two full widths of husks aro usedi for drapery in the back, the join and puff being fastened with pins, which are hidden under the folds. A full-draped apron front covers the front and sides; (he edges aro vandyked��������� that is, squares cut out and a row of the pink busies cull in fringes underneath. Where it Ls impossible to hide tho pins, stars are made by cutting a tiny disc ol tho straw-colorod husk and one of the pink, and slicking tho pin through the middle, giving (he appearance of a very small rosette. The basquo waist, which is bolted ,in with a strip of tho huisk and fastened with a bow, is mado ot the straw-color husk, with a pink vest edged each side with narrow revers of pink and straw color combined ; tho sleeves have wile, tuii-ne me, said: 'T:would just like-to kriow.w'h'at they do it for I\" So I told her, explaining the habit wild animals have of treading their beds, to make sure there are no snakes in the grass ; the necessity of dust-powdering tho young whose skin ls tender in the folds, and who are troubled by insects; the piling up of (be dry grass around -them:to conceal them from the possible liunler. - SOME UNIQUE DO U.S. We recently noticed in an exchange a little novelty in the way -of a doll.

The Ontario Government has never issued a more instructive and useful docuknent than the report of the Superintendent of Farmers' Institutes for the year 1897-8 just received. It is a book of about 500 pages containing numerous illustrations and embracing the latest and most detailed information upon evory subject connected with the pursuit of farming. The Farmers' Institutes are in a flourishing condition, their total membership having' increased from 115,707 in December 1897 to IOIGjI on July 31s!, 1898. During the year (153 Institute meetings wero held, attended by an aggregate of 126- 091 persons and 8,270 addresses delivered. Some 30,000 excursionists also visited the Guelph College Farm under the auspices of the Farmers' Institutes. A Women's Institute has been organized in Saltfleet Township, Wenl- worth County, with' 8fl -members, which it is hoped may be the pioneer of a new movement for organizing women in the country districts as the ' men are now organized in the Institutes, for the discussion of a large class of domestic, social and economical prob- .lejms in which farmers' wives are interested. ''������������������ ... ','.!��������� The report comprises selected papers and addresses delivered before the In- .stilues, all of practical'value in their bearing upon farm industry. The Institutes, have secured the services of a large number of experts and leadr ing men throughout the country who have freely placed their special knowledge at the disposal, of the members. The topics treated of cover an exceedingly wide rarige, including every phase of farming industry and many scientific or economic questions which have an important bearing: upon the condition of the farmer. A paper by Charles W. Nash, on (he birds of Ontario in (heir relation lo agriculture, is a special feature of much interest, as it comprises 32 fine illustrations, of . Canadian birds with information concerning .theni, which shows the useful part they play in connection with farm econoni}'. I\"n another appendix to the volume the results of recent scientific experiments in Europe and the. United States in the leading branches of agriculture, are given with much fullness of detail. This will be found particularly useful and instructive to the progressive farmer who desires to keep in touch with the latest discoveries and avail himself of the results of the researches of experts in a practical way by adopting new economic processes and inventions. Such investigations have in the past done much to improve the condition of the farmer. By bringing the knowledge thus acquired in distant countries in an accessible form before the farmers of~ Ontario, the Farmers- Institutes are doing a useful and much needed work and fully justifying the encouragement judiciously afforded (hem by Ihe Ontario administration. The volume before us is an extremely creditable and gratifying evidence of tho advanced condition of_ agriculture in this Province and the intelligence and enterprise of the farming community, no less than of the energy and progressiveness shown by ths Department of Agriculture. In educational work. WHEN SHALL iiaNUOB BE SPREAD ? On the question of tho advisability of spreading manure in , winter on frozen ground, opinions expressed differ so radically that it seein.s as if the experience of some of our manure specialists might be of interest,, writes Ii. M. Vliughu. Or perhaps it would be still better to have tho opinions of practical farmers on tho subject, and have each one., in addition to his opinion, answer tho following questions about tho land on which his manure was spread \"and give olher attendant circumstances, upon which his opinion is based : Upon what kind of soil did you spread your manure in winter; wa.s it clay, sand, gravelly or black prairie loam ? What was the character of the subsoil and,' how far down from the surface is tho water level in this soil St> Whs the land steep, gently sloping or nejirly level f Was j'our land in sod or not ? If tho soluble parts of your manure washed out, would it wash beyond the limits of your own farm ? What kind of manure did you spread upon frozen ground���������coarse or fine ? How deep was your ground frozen ? Was there snow blanket, enough on during that winter to permit the ground to thaw, out first from below? What did you intend to use your land for in the spring ? ? \"Some or all of the facts and conditions called out in the answers to the above questions may furnish reason for the opinion of the farmer in each case, whereas another farmer surrounded by different conditions might bo justified by experience in adopting a different course. Our own farm contains a great variety of soils, ranging from sticky clay to light sand, mixed with gravel, and also has several beds of muck. Parts of it, too, are quite steep, others gently rolling, while oLh- er parts are quite level. On tho sticky clay and muck we would not spread manure in winter, because it greatly impedes the drying out of the soil in spring, and also forms a mulch which keeps tho frost in the ground far later than it would otherwise remain. Nor would we spread a' thick coat of manure in the winter on any soil which we desired to work early in the spring for the same reason. And this is specially true of coarse manure. Wo have often 'known it to-make two weeks' difference in the time of working lands in the spring. 1 Ono .tract of our sandy soil has a gravelly sand for a subsoil, from live to eight feet deep. Below this is a sheet of clay and flowing along this layer of clay is a constant sheet of water several in:-hes deep. Where Ibis water flown within\" four or five feet of the surface we would not spread m/inure in the winter, on frozen ground, as wo should expect that, when the ground i hawed in the spring tome of the strength of the manure would settle in the low places, and being there to concentrated, would leach to the underground water and be lost. Our observation indicates (hat, in our soil at least, it would not leach through eight feet of soil. Before it had gone through so muchc, the soil would havo absorbed practically all of the fertility from the surface' water. <��������� On our\" steeper lands, experience has shown us that winter spreading manure is not advisable; and this is especially true, as the teachings run into ditches that open into a river, so that some of the soluble, parts of the'manure would be lost. On sod lands one If planting is , done very early In the spring the ridges may be permitted to remain ten days or two weeks_ before harrowing down. If planting is done somewhat late the ridges should be harrowed within a week after planting. In the case of the early planting there is usually enough muis-; ture present so that the ridging may temporarily prove a benefit by enabling the soil to become, warm. In the caye of late planting all the moisture should be conserved, and this is best done by leveling the ridges. Where tho soil is naturally too wet the ridges may be beneficial in that (hey hast eh evaporation and the consequent drying- of ,the soil. % -i I Abont flic Douse,''\" *&���������* WHAT THU FARM GARDEN SHOULD BE. Tho garden should never,conlain less than half an aero, and better be two acres. A garden of Ihis size can easily be worked with a burse, saving much \"hand labor, which is ienuired in sm.iller plots. If more is grown than required for homa use it can usually be disposed of at some nearby market or lo somle neighbor who will not have a garden. Or the area can bo devoted to potatoes, or roots for stock* can be increased. Being near the house, it is of easy access, and the farmer can spend many half hours working his garden, when he would not think of going to the field for that length of time. The garden should contain all the sui'ill fruits, such as berries, currants, etc. Plant, these in single rows, and far enough apart so that I hey can be easily cultivated. The space between can be devoted to some vegetable, which will compel working around (he shrub. ' If the market gardener, upon lands ranging in prioe from S300 to ������1,000 per aero, can upon a half dozen acres sell more dollars' worth of produce than are sold off many large farms why mny not the farmer grow in his own garden articles for food that will lake the place of much of the more expensive commodities bought in town? The garden cannot be had without labor, but with less, oonsirlering- Ihe amount produced, than is required for general farm crops. Two and sometimes three crops can be grown upon Ihe same ground in the season. With Ihe addition of a few hotbed sash the garden can be made to produce fresh vegetables for the table all the year round. THE GERMAN EMPRESS. Augusta Victoria, who is some months older than her imperial husband was born on Oct. 22, 1858, at the Chateau of Augustenburg, as the eldest daughter of tho Duke of Schleswig- Holstein-Augustenburg, a somewhat eccentric and obstinate Prince of the good, old-fashioned kind who, wo fancy, would have been scandalized to hear that his daughler was once to marry the ruler of that rapacious country that was soon to absorb his little duchy. Tho Princess grew up a plain, sweet, sensiblo girl, a model of all the Teutonic female virtues, which she has remained to the present time. Not the least of these virtues is her robust A CHANCE FOR BOYS. One of the great trials of mothers and of others.of the family as well, is the restless boy. It is impossible for the boy to be otherwise than restless, apparently. Jt is not enough (hat he is in active motion out-of- doors, he must make (ho motion perpetual motion by continuing it withindoors. It is generally understood that the effort after perpetual motion among inventors .ends in Insanity, and there are few of the older people in the household who do not feel (hat the r boy's effort is going to bring insanity to them it cannot be checked. But there has always been a chorus of advisers who maintain that nothing must bo done to curtail a boy's activity that those muscles of his need all the work they feel inclined to lake, and that it is highly injurious lo restrain them. Dear mother, do not believe these advisers I Let the boy be us free as 'he will oul-of-doors, as much of an athletfl Lhere or in the gymnasium as he knows how to bet , but in the house let him bo a gentleman, and demand it ol him. One of the best means to this end is to occupy at once his mind and his energies, and when he is tired of his necessary books and his studies, give him something else that shall ba as engaging, or possibly more so. There are very few boy's who have not some dexterity with their fingers, who are not more ori ess handy, This handiness of theirs, moreover, has been greatly si linulated ln all those schools where natural training or Sloyd has been made part of the exercises; and tha gift of a set of (ools will urge them to quiet usefulness in numberless ways. Every boy loves a lathe; give him one, and he will turn you out pretty boxes and various odd objects for hia sister to paint or otherwise ornament, and lie delighted with the person who flatters him by accepting them. With a scroll-saw what quantities of brackets and shelves and little cabinets will he torture into shape, learning on tha way the beauty o( line and' curve I and with his carving-tools what heads ol animals for umbrella-tops and for lh������ bosses on furniture will he create I what decorated trays and panels and shields' what really beautiful aeoiian-harps tu string and set in the windows and make \" moody music augural of woe,\" as Browning has ill Or give the boj a type-writer, and he has it in hia power (o lie as useful as he has been annoying, or give him a science, such' as conchology, and he will make his ��������� shells serve purposes of comfort and beauty, while they teach him without his dreaming of it, much of th������ story of creation. Once get the boy inlo the way of any of this���������and it is not difficult���������lie looks forward to the quiet work as eagerly as to his play, and silence and charm reign, where before were confusion and trie'' nerves, not to say despair. Often when (he girls of the family are busy over (heir gifl-making for the spring , ,., , - . . , , , , , . i ..\"������ a,.*.us and winter festivals, tho health, which haa enabled'her to bring |,,oy bemoans himself that he can do nothing but hoard his pennies. And when (hey are getting up tables of seven children into the world and still look fair and fresh at (he age of two- score. One thing is certain, and that is that her popularity in Prussia and throughout the wnole empire is universal. She has kept, out of all political questions; and possesses those two supreme virtues of a Queen���������graeious- riess arid tact. She has opinions of her own, but never puts them forth in a dogmatic way, invariably prefixing the phrase, \"If I may express my opinion,' or, \"If you will allow mo to suggest.\" The catalogue of her kind acts and little attentions to people of all classes, is a very long one, and amply may safely spread manure/ in the winter, when, it not in sod, much would be lost.' So On\" fall plowing, manure nviy be spread.with little or no less; when on smooth'land without sod, though otherwise the same, much would flow away in the --drainagewater.\" 'The above.] are a few of the facts thiitour experience bears out. Let us hear the experience of others, -'keeping., in view the same questions, and \" suggesting any others that may have a bearing on winter manuring of frozen ground. It is of much interest just now. . POTATO CULTURE. The Cornell experiment station made some studies on potato culture last season and a recent bulletin says: To explain tho uniformly hitrh yield we must then make a study of the treal- ment which all plats have received. It is probable that frequent and deep plowing has dune much to bring and keep the land productive. The land has been turned from two to three times each year, and the pulverizing which has resulted (herefrom has liberated sufficient plant food to mature large crops. In addition to the plowing the land has been frequently harrowed and cultivated, and the intensive culturo which h-.u7.been given has liberated all the plant food that could bo, used by the growing crops with the. amount of moisture that, was present.; Seeds should not be cut for any considerable time before planting. If it becomes necessary tu delay planting for somle considerable time after potatoes are cut the cut pieces tfliould be dusted with plaster and spread out in a moderately moist, cool place. At least they should not bo allowed to bocoonio dry. explains the universal popularity already referred to. In one way sho is an ideal consort for tlie present Emperor. No physical effort is too much for her, She is ready at any moment, be it early in the morning, or late at night, to attend any function,. or to start on one of the innumerable journeys of her energetic husband. In a word, she is not only a good wife and mother, but an excellent helpniatoto the Emperor as far as the spectacular side of imperialism is concerned, upon which William II. has always laid so much stress fancy-work for their bazars it would be a pleasure to him to be helpful also. Here, (ben, is his chance, for his boxes, his brackets, his carvings, his printings, his shell-work, are all of them as saleable as his sisters' hags and baskets and pin-cushions. And it will give him real pleasure, and the rest of the; house real ease, when he is set at work providing them. Half of the time a boy's noise is mere idleness, and he would much fatherj.be busy than.idle; he is a dear, warm-hearted- little creature, and merely a little planning will provide; him with this quiet sort of content, and at (he same time give the family a rest and remission of trouble. TRUE BLUE SCOT. Nothing is inure annoying to the true- blue Scot: than lo have the land of heather ''overlooked. A striking instance of (his feeling occurred at the battle of Trafalgar. Two Scotchmen, mess-mates, and bosom cronies, happened to be sin tinned near each other when the. celebrated signal was given from Admiral Nelson's ship,-\".England, expects every man to do his duty.\" \"Not a' word about poor Scotland,\" dolefully remarked Donald. His friend cocked his eye, and turning to his companion said, \"Man, Donald, Scotland kens weel enueh that riue son of her needs to be tell't to dao his duty. That's jist a plain hit to the Englishers. . A SINGLE EXCEPTION. Oh, mamma, I'm miserable. I know- that I'm not fully in Harold's confidence. Did papa ever keep anything from you, mamma? Nothing���������that is, nothing but money. HIS REASOxV, I know one man at least who is a confirmed (vomnn hater. Because he couldn't get one to marry him 1 j, No, because he did. v BARGAIN HUNTING. Many women, living remote, from large cities, read the alluring advertisements in the Sunday papers and sigh for the opportunity to buy at the. advantage offered by bargain sales. Concerning these templing inducements (he \"Gentlewoman\" says: The phrase \"marked down\" has great fascination for women. This is not discreditable to (heir hearts, for while one-tenth ma j hunt bargains, hoping toshine (hereby in finery (hey could nut afford at. first cost, the other nine-tenths are merely straining their nerves a little more in Ihe effort to .make their husband's earnings go even further, and provide yet moiv liberty for him, home and the children. But women's hearts often play sorry tricks with their heads. Merchants'are human and therefore, fallible. They are in business to make money for themselves, not for your benefit, or mine. Just remember (his when you go bargain hunting. Take advantage of the mark down onguodsyou need that are worth buying. Let all'others alone, ifynu truiy wish 'to be. economical. The greatest reducilons in price generally are nn pronounced styles that are rapidly going out of fashion and will soon In- no. licalily odd and out of dale. When a \"tremendous mark down'' Hlarvs you in (he face be sure there is Mini' excellent reason for the drop in prices. Perhaps (he reason does nut prevent the article being a good bargain for you. Often the. reason of IJi? - reduction is one that malaas (he article no bargain for any one. fifiBSB THE MINING REVIEW���������SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1899. MOUNTAIN ECHOES.
