Nelson is sending a club to the bon- spiel.at Winnipeg. c The United States had 9,852 deaths by.violence last year. Clarke and Law of Slocan City have gone to South Africa. The Great Northern is to reach Cascade on the 1st of March. . The Rev. Mr. Leith is now Presbyterian.clergy man at Kaslo. Geo. Smith got an arm hurt last week by falling down a shaft iu the Arlington. R. A. Bradshaw is mayor of Slocan by one of a majority over A. York, late mayor. A. B. Coleman, a prominent mining man of Pittsburg, Pa., is making a tour of the Kootenays. / J.'W. Croft, of New Denver, was married to Miss Grace McEwing, of Nelson, on Wednesday last. Lowery has gone hayseeding to California, lie may escape the dock at Vancouver this time. ' The Canadian, Bank of Commerce through their manager here, Mr. Scott, has donated $25 as a special prize to be contested for at the Bonspiel. This will materially assist in making the affair a success. The ladies will have a social evening in the basement of the Methodist Church next Thursday at 8P.M. Everybody cordially invited. No fixed charge will be made, but a collection during the evening. The lion and the lamb are at length in bed together. "Fighting Joe" has decided to support Riley in Victoria instead of opposing. We fancy he saw that if he resigned his Vancouver seat in the Local House, he was morally cer tain to be left out of both houses. The Silver Glance at Bear Lake has shipped two cars of high grade ore to the Trail smelter tlie last two weeks. If. the returns are as good as expected iBhipnients will be continued; Large quantities of ore are being taken out of the lead "which is four feet in width at present. There are live 'menworking on the property. The Rossland Miners' Union by a vote decided on Friday to declared the strike off.. As a matter,of fact there was nothing to declare, as the mines have been all running full handed for some months past. But for the interference of foreign demagogues, a strike would ' never have been declared. The men have lost seven months work by it, and many of them their places for all time. The Sandon Rink company intend giving a ball on Friday eyening next in the Union Hall. Proceeds to be in aid of tho rink funds which are much in need of assistance. On Monday afternoon, Feb. 3rd, the annual general meeting of thecompany will be held in Council .Chamber.. A large attendance of the stockholders and others interested is requested, as business of importance has to be transacted. Interest in the series of curling games which terminated last night in the contest between Dr. Gomm and Nick Cav- anaugh, was intense. The curlers wives were as enthusiastic as the curlers themselves, and at the close entertained the players-and spectators to cake and hot coffee, which were greatly appreciatep by all. The ladies who provided the refreshments were Mesdames Atherton, Vallance, ftomm, Crawford, McLach- lan and M. L.1 Grimmett.;' Yesterday evening's contest decides -the winner? of President M. L. Gn'mmett's prize of four mackinaw coats, but as we went to press before the" game was over, we are unable to giye the names of the successful rink. .".���������'��������� .: Mr. Bade, formerly with Mr. Harris in the .plumbing business, is in town again in the same capacity. The Sandon hockey boys succeeded in making a score of 7 to 1 against Slocan City, at Slocan on Tuesday night. Mr. Breen, a Winnipeg hockeyist of celebrity, was in the city Wednesday night, and showed our boys a thing or two in the art. On' account of the smelter cut the Whitewater mine may be.enabled to operate steadily without any shut-down, which will be a good job for the town. Mrs. Platts and children left on Wednesday for a visit to her- father's just south.of the line. Joe Sells has rented her house and moved in. E. F. McQueen, druggist, is' closing up his business in town and returning his stock to the wholesale house. Many will regret this as Mr. McQueen is personally a-very decent fellow. . The Sandon Wholesale Wire &Liquor House has closed its business stand on Main street and removed the stock to the warehouse near the K. & S. track, where business will be conducted until times improve. The surveyors have not yet finished then- work at the Slocan Star. The court order simply allows them to go through the workings to secure information to make maps and drawings. This and nothing more. The courts disqualified and unseated a whole municipal council in Ontario the other day because they had misapplied the sinking fund money. How would Sandon's council, fare there that has never set a cent aside for sinking fund in any form? Our hockeyisfs won but 5 of the 12 scores at tie match at Nelson on Monday night. The Miner gives them credit, however, for their old time policy��������� a good, clean game. On the return /natch here, however, when all their best players will be in evidence, it is a moral certainty the score will go the other way. Wants Information.���������Mrs. R. A. Easton, of Stikum, Oregon-, would be glad to learn the whereabouts of her son, Robert W. Easton, a.young fellow of 15or 1G years, who is supposed to have been in British Columbia last, year. Easton sometimes goes by the name of John Dudley, and any information in regard to him will thankfully be received by his mother or can. be sent to Rev. D. H. Reid, Phoenix. B.C. For the sake of economy the new school law suggests that nominations and elections to fill vacancies in city school Boards should be made and held on the days of municipal nominations and elections. Our wise council and clerk, however, know better than this, and hold them on different days; and have decided on a "clean sweep" at that. As they grow older, however, they will become better learned, and so so will the taxpayers. Mark this. We call attention in another paragraph elsewhere to the blunder our city council and clerk made in not,holding the school trustee nominations and elections on the days the council were nominated and elected. Here is the statute violated (section 24): "The nomination and election of the board of trustees SHALL BF, HELD AT THE SAME TIME, and by the same returning officer or officers, when possible and conducted in the same manner as the municipal nomination and election for mayor would be conducted. &c." There is no provision in the statute for holding an annual election on any other day, or in any other way. The advertised nomination for the 27fch, Monday next, is therefore strictlv illegal, and men nominated or elected that, day cannot be trustees, or allowed toactasRuch. It is well to know this in advance. Mines and Mining. depth, of ore Ore is showing up again in the Mollie Hughes. ��������� The Washington's force is being increased steadily. ' The oil process of concentrating is being tried at the Enterprise. The Rambler has 100 men on its payroll. The Enterprisestaff is 40. The Goodenough dividend was paid on Jan. 15th of one cent per share. At a meeting of the above date the directors stated that the mine had to shut down on account of the low price of lead. The company will hold their annua! general meeting on April 8th next, when the lead question will come up again and will be fully discussed. One of the most valuable strikes in the camp of late days is that, on the Silversmith, one of the Byron N. White properties, on Tuesday last. It is three feet in the face of solid exceptionally high grade ore. Three or four weeks ago a very large rich body was struck in the worked lead ,of this property, and some of the company wanted but," little said about it until continuity was reached. This is now more than settled, as the large rich paystreak that followed appeared to beincreasingsteadily until the valuable width of Tuesday was uncovered. The Slocan Star was always one of our best properties, and the Silversmith is certain to add much more to its laurels. A good showing of ore has at last heen struck on the Galena ledge in the long- crosscut tunnel'at the Last Chance mine. The tunnel is one of the longest j Lyons be returning officer, in the Slocan and has been driven fori Cameron���������Stein, That the clerk col- over 2000 feet. There is now a double lect all traders'licenses. The auditors' report showed collections the past six months as follows: dump, ready for the concentrator when it starts running. The earning'capacity of the mine can be best estimated by stating that in the last six months the ore taken out of the mine has placed $60,000 in the treasury, put improvements on the property worth $40,000, and paid dividends. This, is due partly to the remarkable showing that have been made with Both the quality and quantity increases.at depth. City Council. The council met Monday evening as usual. The following councilmen took the oaths of oflice and their seats; R. Cunning, Mayor; Aids;, Jalland, Stein. Folliott, Brown, Cameron, Duffy. The resignation of C.E.Lyons as clerk ���������Sec. was read, but no action was taken. The resignation of M. L. Grimmett as treasurer was read and filed. A communication from F. L. Christie stating that he had judgment against the city re McLachlin for $435. The report of Auditor Seweil showed no provision had yet been made for a sinking fund; W.H.Lilly had wrongfully taken credit for $95 during his term of office; that owing to irregularities in forms of records he could not make a comparison between thefinanc.es of 1900 and 1901'���������Filed.

This tunnel crossed and was run past the ledge in a blank spot, when with change of work it was decided to raise and drift on what was supposed to he the vein. Ore was struck on Saturday. The discovered galena seam is likely to equal any other in the mine from present indications. If the ore body proves satisfactory, stoping will be commenced and the staff increased in -the Galena tunnel. The company have spent a fortune in opening the new workings.

B. W. McPhee and A. Coolidge in speaking of the property said that the rapid advance in the market value of the stock was due to the remarkable showings that have been made, especially between the fifth and sixth levels, where recent work has developed an exceptionally rich ore body. The shaft between the two levels is now down 70 feet, showing four feet of ore, assaying across the face 445 ounces in silver. The concentrator plant is completed and a thoroughly equipped mill is now- ready for work on. the mine. The concentrator will not be run for about three months on account of not having water. A 10 drill air compressor has also been installed on the property, giving 20 drills to the mine. The,mine is now earning 2 cents a share per month, and when the mill starts that'amount will be doubled.

Prince Radziwill,- a representative from Germany's section of Poland, has just made an eloquent plea before the Reichstag against the edicts under ' which Polish children arc scourged who refuse to study tho Gorman language. The pica was vain, however. The Chancellor declared ho would "oppose all efforts Lo sel back the course of history, and will sec Unit the Germans in' Lhe East do nol fall beneath the Polish Wheels." This policy, moreover, he says, is followed by Austria and Russia in their portions of Poland. It is one of the molhods' which most of the nations of Continental Europe take to suppress the aspirations of peoples whom they conquer. When the. 7"three robbers,". Prussia's Frederick tho Groat, Russia's Catherine II. and Austria's Maria. Theresa, made their first division of a part", of-Poland's.'-territory in--.1-770. the effacement of their language and literature was predicted by some of the loaders of .the. conquered people, though the conquerors-at the outset disclaimed any such Intention. The second partition of Poland in 1798 between the same countries'-.and the j third partition ill 1795, virtually blotted out Poland, though even yet the extreme, rigors of tho foreign rule did not come. ��������� Bonaparte, who, in his conquering march across -Europe, emancipated the peasants of almost every country which he entered from some of the tyrannies incident to the feud/tl system, and who, while his pnwur lasted, lifted the Jews-to a social equality with the , peoples among whom thoy lived, attempted to free Russian' Poland from the Muscovies yoke, and thus won the Poles' support, but ho was unable to carry out his promise fully though ho improved temporarily the condition of some of them. and neither Lhe Duchess of Fife nor Princess Charles was given a lump sum from Lhe country, 8200,000 or $150,000, when they were married. ,1-lowcver, they did not lose so very much, owing to the custom which has sprung up of laic years of allowing royal brides to accept valuable presents from outsiders. Princess Beatrice, who had her dowry of $150,000 into the bargain, led off with a wonderful assortment of wedding gifts. As for 1 ho Duchess of Fife and Princess Charles of Denmark, a shower of diamonds descended on each, to say nothing of other desirable bridal offerings. Princess Victoria, though still unmarried, has not lived without tribute Lo her merits, and some few years ago she canio in for a nice little lcga.cy of $12,500 from an old iriend. + Antique Schoolma'am��������� "What is the matter, .lohnny?"

The French postal authorities have just carried out a series of highly successful'experiments with Lho remarkable invention of M. Menardier, technical instructor at the F.colc Politochnique, anci which will revolutionize the telegraphic service. M. Menardier has discovered a means by which no fewer than 24,000 words an hour can bo dispatched on a. single wire by Lhe employment of sound vibration. Twelve operators wero at work on the wire at the same Lime, and Lho lines from Paris Lo Bordeaux were selcclcd for Lhe experiment. The most remarkable part of the invention is that while, thousand.*! of words arc being dispatched by Lhe Menardier system, the same wire can be used .simultaneously for the dispatch of telegrams by the ordinary system at present in use. M. Menardier employs a series of diapasons for tho transmission of his messages, which are gathered at the other end and started out, as it wore, by an equal j Husband number of microtolephonic receivers. J all lies!" nictur of business. Where tho tramp si earners Hock in numbers there are trade and commercial activity. Some years il is in SouLh America ; six months later it may be oil the coast of Africa, or again on our South Atlantic or Pacific coast. The tramps seem lo scent their prey in sonic unexplained manner, and by some law of mutual attraction they hurry to the scene. But the ship-building revival of recent years has created revolutions in shipping interests, and the tramps have been the first to suffer from it- Cue of the noteworthy changes in this respect has been the establishment of many new regular lines of steamers plying between important, ports. In formor days the picturesque trar'p steamers carried all the cargoes between llvcso centers of commerce touching regularly once or twice a year at certain ports to pick up cargoes. But tho now lines have crowded the tramps out of the trade, and thoy have been forced to seek new fields for exploitation. ' SURE TO GET IT MENDED.

She says : "While luxuries are undoubtedly comforts, all comforts are not luxuries ; and the simple 'farmhouse, with ' the wealth of nature about it, is after all the sweetest, most satisfactory place to build the roof-tree. So make the farmhouse beautiful without and within. Too much bareness rind evidence of poverty make any hardworked farmer's wife lose part of,the best of her nature ; for love of beauty is ingrained in every true woman's heart, and the money and the thought expended in developing ' the artistic side of tho home will never be regretted. "Do not spend the; time used in beautifying the home grudgingly.

A certain judge in Chicago who ra- .ther prides himseif on his vast and varied knowledge of law, was compelled not long ago to listen to a case that had been appealed from a justice of tho peace. The .voting practitioner who appeared for the appellant was long and tedious; he brought in all the elementary text books nnd quoted the fundamental propositions of law. At last the .judge thought it was time to make an eiTon. to hurry him up.- "Can we assume that the court knows a little law itself?" ho said blandly. "That's just the mistake I made in tho lower court," answered tho young man," "and T don't want to let it defeat mc twice." /' ' The wife of a man, who often finds jit cheaper to move than pay rent, ro- jcently misplaced her thimble, and was considerably, annoj^cd over her unsuccessful search for it.

The railway companies of Canaela have a different way of doing business from everyone else; and this is especially true of their operations in this province. Ask them to out freight l-ateB on ores in two, and they will tell you the roael3 are not now paying expenses, and that ore shipments are not paying as they are. As abstract statements they may bo both absolutely true; but what most people contend is it is nota business answer as business is run in the country. Everyone knows the expenses of a railway are nearly as great when it i8 next thing to idle, as when comparatively busy. Thehead official costisnear- ly the same, the station and trackmen are the same and trains have to run empty or loaded. With a good business a few more freight hands are required,' and there is a little more wear on rolling Btock���������this is about the only difference. No other business is run on the principle of making every feature of it profitable. If all the grocers sold all their merchandise on the margin of profit they have on sugar, for instance, everyone of them would be bankrupt in three months. They simply carry the article at the prices they charge, with the idea of selling other goods at a better profit. All newspapur offices in Canada give their newspapers at less than the costof production depending on their advertising and job printing for profits, and so on of almost all other hues of business, j It is different with railways however. They wantoreshipments tomakemouey aB well as all other lines of ti aliie. It appears to us as a business proposition they should see things differently. The grocer knows losses oil a large trade in sugar bring, profits on a large trade in other goods. The newspaper man knows considerable loss on a large circulation for a paper brings a large profit in a large volume of advertising, but the railways can't see things this way., Now supposing they cut their ore freights in two, every mine in the country would be able to ship at a profit, and with all shipping, the general merchandise and passenger traffic of the country would become increased several fold. What the roads would lose on the ore business, they would several times over "makeup on other lines of business, without, as we remarked at the outset, materially increasing their expenses in general operation. However, there is no use in extending these remarks, as the roads know all this themselves; but it is without weight with them. FOOD FOR A YEAR. ��������� Meats 300 lbs. Milk 240 qts. Butter 100 lbs. Eggs 27 doz. Vegetables 500 lbs. This represents a fan ration for one man for one year. But some people eat and eat and yet grow thinner. This means a defective digestion and unsuitable food. To the notice of such persons we present Scott's Emulsion, famous for its tissue building. Your physician can tell you how it does it. the owners for these amounts. If they are less than the amounts actually due, judgments . will be secured for the amounts, and the properties can be legally sold undor the judgments. If the suits are for more than the amounts actually due, it will be for, the owners to prove by documents in their possession that the amount's sued for are excessive. In such caseB the city will get judgments for the proper amounts. This latter is the only legal course open to the council, and we sincerely hope the best judgment of that body will direct their Bteps this way. Manitoba is shown to have 250,000 which entitles it to ten representativesKand bo on of the'rest of the country. Houston the other day said it would be well for British Columbia .if' it had more mine owners like J. Roderick Robertson. This compares well with,-a cut of that gentleman the Tribune had ��������� in its columns two years ago, where it represented him with a long, whip driy- ing the miners, ub slave drivers used to drive slaves in the Southern States years ago. John can "jump Jim Crow'' as well as any other men can do it, when.it suits his purpose totlo so. ''" ' ��������� We'll send you a little to try if you like. SCOTT, & BOWNE, Chemists, Toronto. way. In the first place to have a tax sale legal it muBt cover the actual amount due on the property, not 5 cents more nor less. Now, as the city records were all destroyed in the fire there is no way open to the council to get at the actual amount due before that incident by any property. It may be approximated but it cannot hi actually acertaind. To approximate and sell by tax sale under an approximation, means the defeat of the sale and the costs thrown on the city as sure as the sun rises and sets. This is the warning we want to give the council. The proper way is to get the closest possible estimate from all the document ivi'ilable of the amounts and sue BE CAREFUL, GENTLEMEN. We are quite aware the present city council will not thank us for any recommendation! we may make as they know so much more than the Editor of this paper can possibly know about municipal matters; but all the same, if the Paystreak voices their intentions, in the interest of the taxpayers, we must raise a timely note of warning. We are advised by their organ that Mayor Cunning is bound to hold a tax sale, and sell for arrears all those properties on which taxes before the fire are unpaid. We desire to see the city collect everycent due it; but when there is a right way as well as a wrong way to collect those dues, we recommend the right and safe There have been times when the. wild. beast3 have been more merciful than human beings, and spared the, woman cast to them in the arena. It is astonishing, how little sympathy women <haye for women. In the home the mistress sees the maid with the signs of suffering she recognizes so well, but she does not lighten the sick girl's load by a touch of her finger. In the store the forewoman sees the pallor and exhaustion which mark womanly weakness, but allows nothing for them. It is work or quit. Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well, by curing the womanly diseases which undermine the health and sap the strength. " Favorite Prescription" establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. "When I first commenced using1 Dr. Pierce's medicines," writes Mrs. George A. Strong:, of Gnnsevoort, Saratoga Co., N. Y. ������I was suffering from female weakness, a disagreeable drain, bearing-down pains, weak nnd tired feeling all the time. I dragged around in that way for two years, then I began taking your medicine. After taking the first bottle I began to feel better. I took four botlcs of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, two of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' one vial of the ' Pleasant Pellets,' also used one bottle of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Now I feel like a new person. I can't thank you enough for your kind advice and the good your medicine has done me." " Favorite Prescription " makes weak women strong, sick women well. Accept no substitute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the most desirable laxative for delicate women. The fuel question is becoming a serious one with the smelter men and mine owners of B.C., and indirectly the whole people of the province. It is known the Crow's Nest coal is the 'best for smelting easily available to the smelters of the Western States and B. C. Jim Hill who is largely interested in the American Smelter Trust saw this some time ago and bought a controlling interest in the Crow's Nest coal mines; and by the first of July next will have a road from the mines to his smelters across the line. In the natural course of things he will use his ailvantage for his own personal interest. The C. P. R. hold a large mining property iii the same locality, but they are debarred from opening, it up for some time through a contract they made with the Crow's: Nest Coal Co. some four years ago. This of course ties up that property. The Canadian government, however, reserved a block of mining land Bouth of Morrissey creek, which can be made available to block Hill's intention to strangle the B. C. smelting enterprise. It is further known another company, which means Hill in disguise, is endeayoring to get hold of this to , make strangulation complete. In this, the Federal "Govt, holds the key to the protection of our enterprise; and it remains for the representatives of our province in parliament to see that it is employed in our protection. As the fuel item constitutes one-third of the cost of smelting the gold-copper ores, it is easily seen safe-guarding this government property is of vital importance to the whole country. Hill's action will be the means of giving value to the Similkameen and other coal deposits of southern British Columbia. John Houston is now out for manhood suffrage for municipal elections.������������������ That would be nice. It would enable' those who have no financial interests in a city to foist hundred-year financial burdens on those who have them. That's Houston's sense of justice and fair play, In the defeat of his candidate for the mayoralty of Nelson, John Houston sees "the handwriting on the wall." Rowdyism is losing its power in Nelson. "Joe" Martin is going to run as an independent Liberal in Victoria. This in to split the Grit vote. Who will be Chief Justice in place of McColl. We nominate John Houston.

Some people wonder why lead is worth but 134 cents here while the American miners get 3>������ cents. In other words why the B. C. miners do not ship to the States. There is a duty of 1% cents on pig lead going into the States. Formerly the American smelters used to import our ores in bond, and export the pig lead ; but since the trust has refuted to smelt for B. C. our metal is shut out of that country altogether in every form. In making comparisons between the mining business in Uub country and the States, John Houston is ever careful to keep from public view the better markets open to the American producers. COAL! Everybody Wants A correspondent asks us why some of the provinces of Canada lose representa- tation through the last census. The reason is this: By the constitution Q.uebec province always has 65 members, neither more nor less. The results of the last census show this is one for every 25,000 people, which becomes the basis,of representation for the other provinces. British Columbia is shown to have 177,272 which give it seven. Try Lethbridge Coal, then you will have the best and cheapest.

His Majesty's letters are always most beautiful to read, and his friends and relatives with whom he continually corresponds, look forward to them with the greatest interest.

Lord Salisbury, when staying at Stockholm, once said to the venerable monarch: "What a wonderful linguist your majesty is to be sure. You have written six letters this morning, you "tell me, and all in different languages! Now, can your majesty write or speak Chinese!" The King of Sweden looked very humble as he gently replied: "No, no; I cannot. What feeble creatures we men are after all!" Arid then, more hopefully ai������H with great animation: "But-'never mind.

Tho cause of Mr. Johnston's happiness is his somewhat sudden and very remarkable recovery from the most severe case of Rheumatism ever seen' in this county. For a long time he suffered with the Rheumatism which gradually grew worse till it threatened his life. His principle trouble was, in his left side, and- it was so bad that his neck stiffened so that he could scarcely move it. and, was beginning to fear Paralysis. The pain would go away for a time, but return with greater force, and a strange feature of his case was that after the pain would leave any part, it left behind it that prickly "pins and needles" sensation. . J-le thought that perhaps his smoking tobacco had something to do with it and he gave this up, but received no benefit at all till he used Dodd's Kidney Pills. This remedy he found to be a complete and absolute cure for his malady, and very soon after commencing, its use,, the pain began to leave him and now he is strong and well. That such an extreme case should yield so easily and quickly proves that Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure any case of Rheumatism. Cnnse anil Effect.

"Colds that will never be cured." A startling sentence, but you know it to be true. Scarcely a day passes but some death from consumption, pneumonia or similar ailment emphasizes the truth of this statement.

If you apply this test to medicines for coughs, colds and similar ailments, you will select Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine, because of the extraordinary merits which it possesses, and which have become known to the public generally through years of trial. The sales of this remedy are far ,n excess of any similar preparation, and have never been so large as during the present 'Season. These two facts are, we believe the strongest evidence that can be produced in verifying the merits of any remedy that has been thoroughly tested for years. Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine is prised especially because of its far-reaching effects, even in the most serious cases, of bronchitis, whooping cough, croup and asthma,. It is not a mere relief for cough9, but acts on the whole systean thoroughly, curing tho' cold and removing cliest pains, soreness of the lungs an* bronchial tubes, and all /inflammation of the respiratory organs.

It is worth while to know that wagon or bicycle- grease, tar or pitch can be removed if lard is rubbed on the spots immediately and afterward it is washed as usual. Grass stains on children's clothes often cause a great deal of ance. If molasses is rubbed on these spots and the garment is afterward washed as usual, they will usually disappear. Iron rust can generally be removed if lemon juice and salt is applied, and the garment laid in the sun for several hours. Repeat the operation if the first trial is not successful. Housekeepers arc very much annoyed by scorched .spots on table linen or articles of clothing sometimes. A paste can be made which will remove them entirely. To make this paste use half an ounce of white castile soap, finely shaved, two ounces of earth secured at the druggist's, the juice of two peeled onions and one cupful of vinegar; stir well and lot it boil thoroughly.

The children knew one of the Russian officers, and used to wave a salute whenever his ship passed by. Gradually other Russian ships observed the little exchange of courtesies and sought to emulate it, until evei-y naval vessel that passed adopted the custom of whistling until sonic one came out from the house and waved a response. Tiie children grew up and went away to school, and the interchange of signals was discontinued for a time, until the Russian ambassador to Turkey sent a message asking ihat it might be renewed, as the Russian sailors thought the welcome brought them good luck, and looked for it as they'arrived or sailed away. The English people, greatly astonished at the importance attached to their little by-play, gladly resumed it, and the custom still continues. Recently the Grand Duke Michael, innoy-! passing through the Bosphorus on a Russian gunboat, stood by the captain as they approached the promontory with its English villa. Tho1 captain begged permission to whis- lle, explaining the custom, and was told by the Grand Duke that an acciua-intancc ought to besought with the family. Some days later a delegation of officers in full uniform called at "the. house to express their thanks, and to beg the ladies of the family to dine on the gunboat. A toast given at the dinner by the captain referred to the friendly salutes, which lie said had cheered'" many a sailor's heart when going out into the Black Sea, and which had done much to generate a kindly feeling toward the whola English nation. . *-,,���������:*" BEES IN THE ARMY. VALUE OF BUTTER EATING, One of the favorite remedies of physicians is cod liver oil, and why is one of- the mysteries of the world of .medicine, when all there is about it is. an. oil or fatty substance that is easily digested and quite as easily assimilated, fish oil being -appropriated'with'a small outlay of digestive ! power; .Why cod liver oil, a product of the decomposition of fish refuse, should have ever been chanced upon when'buttcr and cream are nature's supply, and at once the most readily obtainable, is unexplainablc. While anyone can take cream or butter, the consuming of-fish'oil'requires the fortitude of a saint and the heroism of a martyr; ancl, as we know, tho oil docs not agree with many/and is hard of digestion in others. ��������� Now, it has been demonstrated that fresh, unsalted butter is rather more digestible than oil, and is pleasant to take on thinly-cut tlices of bread, and as high as four ounces a day, of this butter can be eaten with impunity by even delicate persons, and cream can be taken Lo the full desire of the patient.
