'Tliere will be space enough on the top of the table or platform for the soap-dish, powder-box, or whatever must be close at hand for '.emergencies... pare the glue thick, immerse a stick about half the size of the screw and put it into the hole; then immerse tihe screw and drive it home as quickly as possible. When there is s'ome article of furniture to be repaired ancl no glue is to'he had handily, insert the stick and fill the rest of the cavity with pulverized resin; then heat the screw sufficiently to melt the resin as it is driven in. In broken plastered wall the best plan is to,enlarge the,hole to about Flutry. Sometimes they lie to escape J twice the diameter of the screw, fill punishment. Living for the present, jit with plaster of paris,- such as is they, do not look to the morrow, and used for fastening the'tops of lamps, if they can only postpone the evil, etc., and bed the screw in the soft that is motive sufficient. The spoiled child, accustomed to mix in the conversation of his elder3, lies to attract attention. Fear of not pleasing, desire to justify themselves, vanity, all contribute to making the child lie. How to cure it iat a difficult question. Search and try your children to see if they tell the truth. Make them ashamed to'do otherwise. Try to correct them quietly and reasonably; and, above all, give them a good example in this respect daily. Lee the chiLd know at once that lying is useless, dangerous, ridiculous and low. At bed time is a good time to impress upon its mind the enormity of the crime of lying done that day, but let it be done affectionately and sympathetically. plaster. When the plaster has set the screw will he held very firmly. A UABY INCUBATOR.' Prof. Escherich, of Graz, Austria, has constructed for the " Anna Kinder- ....'..'-'.spital," a uovel type baby incubator. .The good doctor found that the tiny ���������'������������������'���������'/new-born infants which often weighed only six pounds were very seriously affected by changes in temperature. Ordinary incubators employed to maintain a constant high temperature are oyen to severe objections. In order.to nurse and care for the infant 7 it must to taken out of 'the incubator and exposed to the dangers from which it should ba jjrotected. In order to overcome this objection it was decided- to but id an incubator room six 7 and a halt feet high. A temperature of 86* degrees, .is'.maintained by means of a steam coil. Filtered air is admitted and nised to this temperature .by means of the coil before it strikes the infanta. The wet-nurse enters tho chamber by mean3 of a vestibule, and* takinij- ���������ois-i of the babies from the \ shelf ovar the steam pipes, proceeds to care for it. Thus the infant can be raised under the most auspicious cir- . cumstancw. , J . ( i LAUNDERING. FINE NAPERY.

A lady writer thinks' carpets ought to be taken up in summer and kept up until fall. She asks, why should we not Snore generally imitate continental custom by painting or polishing our floors? Floors, painted or polished, look far prettier in July sunshine than any carpets, which are then mere fusty traps to catch dust, harbor insects and retain bad smells. Everything has its use and its seasons!. Where' it is impossible to paint or polish1 the floors of a house, the employment of matting will be good economy in summer and far cleaner. Matting, too, of charming patterns' may now be bought very cheaply, and it majkes a room delightfully cool and fresh. TO MAKE SCREWS HOLD.

Dry lea stain's on table linen may be removed by applying equal quantities of the yolk of egg and glycerine, When'dry wash in the usual way. Apply glycerine to coffee stains, wash the spots in lukewarm water and iron until dry. Spots produced by acid will disappear if touched with spirits of hartshorn, and those produced by alkali will disappear if vinegar is used. Pour clear boiling wa.ter through berry-stained goods. Blood stains should be washed in lukewarm, not hot or cold, suds.-.Let them stand a few minutes before washing the garment. ^: Machine-oil stains should be treated to a bath of cold Water and soap, if applied immediately after the, oil is\ spilled on the garment.

THE MOST REST POL COLOR. Green is popularly supposed to be the color which best protects the eye, but a German professor denies that it has any beneficial effect" whatever, and declares that green newspapers, green glasses and green umbrellas are all a mistake. His theory, is, at all events, plausible. It is that each different color tires a different set of nerves of vision, and therefore looking at one particular color saves one set of nerves at the expense of. another. The best method, he points out, is to' dim -all the'rays of light-' by smoked or gray glasses, which resit all the optic nerves.. THE SILVER. There is very seldom a bride who does not receive enough small silver such as forks and spoons', to supply her own table. If she is not so fortunate, however, she should, if possible, try to buy solid silver, even if sho can- afford to get but half a dozen pieces of each kind. Should this be beyond her means, she will find plate'd silver in neat designs,, although it will ih'time wear out, while the solid silver will last a-lifetime or longer.

You may be among those who, through modesty or fear of'the surgeon's knife, have been prevented from appealing to youir physician for a cure. You have tried the hundred and one things that'friends have- recommended, and havo become discouraged. You say,: as many have paid, before you', that there is no cure for piles. . ��������� Nowi is the time for yon to turn to Dr. Chase, whose famous ointment is; recognized the world over as the only actual cure for every form of piles. The real substantial value, of Dr. Chase's Ointment has given it a unique- position among medicines. It is used in nearly every neighborhood on this continent, and has become known :by wiordfof mouith from friend to friend and neighbor to neighbor. Ask youir friends about it, ask your druggist, ask your dioctor. Others have been discouraged, and after years of misery have been cured by Dr. Chase's Ointment; Here is one. Mrs'. James Brown, HintBtnbuFg, "ear Ottawa, writes:���������"I have been a constant smfferer from' nearly every form of piles for the last twenty years, and during that time both here and in the old country have tried most every remedy.

Mahogany hunting is one of the best paying professions. Mahogany trees, do', not grow in clusters, but are scattered through the forests >nd hidden in a dense growth of underbrush, vines and creepers, and it requires a skillful.and experienced woodsman to . find.them. The mahogany is; one of the largest and tallest of trees, and the hunter, seeking the highest ground Climbs; to the top of the tallest tree and surveys the surrounding country. ; His' practised eye soon detects the mahogany by its peculiar foliage, and : he counts the trees within'sight, notes the directions and distances, and then, descending,' cuts a narrow trail ' to each tree, which he carefully blazes and marks, especially1 if; there is a rival hunter tn the vicinity. The ax- men follow the hunter, and"after them' come the sawyers and hewers. 7 To fell a large mahogany tree is one day's task '.for.'two men. "'On account oif the wide spurs which project from the trunk at its base, scaffolds must be erected and the tree cut off above the spurs,���������which leaves a stump from 10; to 15-feet in height���������a sheer waste ' of the very bes]t part of the. tree. While the work of felling and Hewing is Ln progress other gangs are busy making- roads and bridges, over which the logs may be hauled to the river. The hunter has nothing to do with the woirk' of cutting or removing the timber. He merely points out the tree and. moves, on in search of more. He is paid by results, and it is by no means! unusual for a clever hunter to draw; $500 for a month's work in the forests. But, as in every other business there are bad times, and sometime^ the hunter will travel five or six weeks without finding- any timber, worth cutting-. a.

What strikes an observer most about China and the Chinese is that suddenly a veil has been rent from a vast organism, which up' to the present j half-century had remained exclusive self-contained and repellent to all external influence and all modern knowledge. Not only is the type of civilisation vastly different, but tho mind is of another cast, the' idea of a separate order. Inference is the key to Chinese character aud Chinese intercourse, but a foreigner, however, long he may dwell in the country, never quite makes out what a native is driving at from anything he says or does. To save "face" even a coolie will forge- and fabricate a dozen times. From this point of view " corT in the south there aro no signs of a more frequent application of gold leaf than in the dingy recesses of northern" gloom. To 're-gild a temple is accounted a work of holiness, which is. set down on the credit side. of the account when the dead man's spirit is seized by the infernal ljctors and taken before Kuang-Ti to be submitted to the unpleasant interrogations of the court below. There.are opportunities in plenty of fire ins.ur- ! ance of this kind, because the Chinese find it very hard to keep their hands off fresh gilt when it can be turned to the purposes' of nersonal profit. At Canton there Is a famous' temple, the sides of which are lined with brass and gilded figures "in a sitting posture, to the number of 408, representing the various incarnations of the great Buddha.

THE CANTONESE DIALECT. Cantonese Is a dialect of which hardly a word is understood in other parts and the officials always employ interpreters in their intercourse with the natives. When the- magistrate takes his seat in the yaineh a bell summons his interpreter, almost as in our East End police court. The land they live in is fair and fertile. Along the course of the west river and its myriad of creeks and tributaries the soil is bountifully fed with the alluvial mud the river brings down, for at Wucbau the rise at flood* timers as much as fifty feet in an average year. Great fields of mulberry stretch out on all sides, looking exactly like,a. vast plantation of thin hop-poles and from them is taken the autumn harvest of silk cocoons, which go to fill the hundred and forty odd filatures of the Canton district and v-a multitude of home industries all through the province. Interspersed with the silk trees are thick patches of sugar-cane, and everywhere you walk by the " paddy-field," which supplies: the food in which the heart of the Chinese rejoices.

PLACES OF WORSHIP. Temples and Buddhist monasteries are planted about the clefts and fissures of the hills. In the south, as one might expect from the parallel of . Europe, the buildings display brighter colors and more ornate decorations than in the sombre north. The lines of the'arch are straight and stiff, but upon tbem is set every sort of grotesque animal and figure that occurs to the limited scope of Chinese imagination. Inside the courts, of the "joss house" the figures of the Chinese theogouy arG more plentifully bedecked wiih tinsel and brass and colours, than they are on the Yangtse. No temple is without its gilding, but they make a parade and effect which have something of Indian gorgeous- ness about them. Above Samshui, on the southern bank. Is'aw a municipal procession winding in and out of the waving clumps of feathery bamboo that in the distance, at any rate, was a. pretty moving picture. A band of musicians in scarlet garments led the way before a whole army of tablet bearers, who proclaimed the virtues; of the illustrious dead. Above them floated the standard of the mandarins, and in the centre was a huge, serpent made up in pantomimic fashion, of painted matting hung upon a framework supported by a number of unseen '-supers" who waggled and twisted in the orthodox way. Behind came priests aind coolies and in the place of honour were mounted officials, with their red umbrellas of office borne before them. At close quarters all this would have been tawdry enough, but, seen in the bright sunlight, with' the background of red sandstone, fringed by the most graceful of tropical trees, it was not only curious���������it was most beautiful. yet the rarity of it drives up the prisa to ������10 an ounce, ������120 a troy pound.

Tie Milling Review. SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1901. WAKE UP. We.have several timcB called tlie attention of the people of Sandon to their apparent indifference as to the future of the place. Just now the air is full of smelter talk, and not a step has been taken by Sandon, that is in the very centre of the mineral wealth of the Slocan. Call a public meeting over municipal matters, and a dozen men will stand up and air their own personal grievances, but not one of them will suggest anything to build up the city as an industrial centre. We are the last party to place a straw in the way of any other placehelp- ing itself, ancl the enterprise that Kaslo is now showing in the way of securing a smelter should at least sot Sandon doing something in the same direction. We honor Kasio's enterprise, ancl only rise to ask why Sandon lias not a share of the same commodity. It is quite true the heavy losses we all met with in May last prevent much .stock being taken up by the city people in any such enterprise,' but there are many things we could do, that would have the same effect. " It is quite true we may not have as many eligible sites to-oiler as Kaslo has, but it ia absolutely certain wc haveriiany that would������suit the purpose���������with elevation and streams from a height. Parties competent t3 know tell us two or three suitable sites could be got just below thecity. It is no argument to say coal, coke and fluxing ores would have to be brought in, as they will have to be brought in no matter where in this district a smelter may be located. There is, however, one offset that can be made against any and all such arguments that may be advanced by any one against Sandon as a site, and it is that sufficient ore to operate a smelter can be brought to Sandon at less cost for freight and hauling than to any other point nearer than the Boundary. That of itself is one clenching argument in favor of Sandon as a site. Should that SHverton-Sandon tunnel be built, as it certainly will be, the time is not far distant in which enough ore will be produced within ten miles of Sandon to keep a good sized smelter going continually. To succeed at Kaslo the co-operation of Sandon producers must be secured. Then why is it not IISBlilB '{I had been a sufferer for many years from nervousness with all ita symptoms and complications,", writes Mrs. O. N. Fisher, 1861 Lexington Ave., New York, N. Y. "I was constantly going to see a physician or purchasing medicine. In the spring of 1897 niy husband induced nie to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. After taking one bottle and following your advice I was so encouraged that I took-five more bottles, and then stopped for several weeks as I felt so much better, but still I was not completely cured. I commenced taking it again and felt that I was improving faster than at first. I am not now cross and irritable, and I have a good color in my face; have also gained aboutten pounds in weight and one thousand pounds of comfort, for I am a new woman once more and your advice and, your 'Favorite Prescription ' is the cause of it, coupled with the ' Pleasant Pellets' which are not to be dispensed/with. I took eight bottles of the ' Prescription .'��������� the last time, making fourteen in all, and will not take any more unless you so advise, for I do not see as I need it." A GOOD STORY A certain young kdy in delicate health was advised by her doctor to take a half-teaspoon- ful of Soott's emulsion of cod- liver oil after dinner���������once a day���������and found herself almost suddenly growing robust. So small a dose, is by no means the rule; the rule is whatever the stomach will bear ���������not more. Another rule is: take it on every least occasion, but not too much; don't overdo it. We'll send you a little to try, if you like. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, Toronto, worth an effort to have Sandon producers smelt Sandon ores at home by Sandon labor when it can be done at much less cost for freight and other charges? To use Slocan ores at Kaslo, most of it will have to be handled twice over two lines of railway, when by locating a smelter just below the city, it can be handled from either railway at but a moderate cost. What we would suggest is the appointment of a committee of citizens by a public meeting, to confer with the mine owners, railway companies, capitalists and probable builders, and canvass the situation fully to see what can" be done. The city could well afford to offer a free site and say $25,000 of city debentures as a starter to employ 100 men permanently in the place. A laudable, legitimate effort to do the best possible for the place would cost the people little or nothing; and by showing the outside world we are desirous of helping ourselves.it would establish the fact we are neither dead nor sleeping, but fully alive to. our own material interests. WHERE THE MONEY WENT. Mr. Harris, at the public ineetint; the other night, was most anxious to know what the city council did with th������ $15,000 they collected the previous year. Well, as only about half of that sum was collected, the disbursement is the more easily explained. The government has given $3,500 for city hall, and as more than that amount was expended on lots and building, it is not necessary to take the items into consideration at all. As again the council borrowed from the bank during the year $2,500, and repaid it out of the taxes, the loan and payment are only cross entries in the ledger, and need not be considered here. The remainder of the council's handlings then during 190C was as follows: Cash on hand at first of year... $ 282 00 Got from Licenses altogether... 3635 00 Fines and penalties through the Police Court.................. 1438 00 Turned over by Relief Com .... 1350 00 Real estate taxes SMJi 00 Scavenger 119 00 . Total......: $ 77G7 00 It will be seen/< from this the total money collected from the people was only $7,767, or about half the sum Mr. Harris says was collected. Let us now see how it was paid out.

Some of the wiseacres appear to disagree with the idea of a bonus on (he output of'lead to enable producers to expert, on the' trrqund of governnient policy. No government should have any policy opposed to the growth and development of the country. The Mac- donald governnientvirtuiilly bonused the manufacturers in high protection to enable t'heih ' to build np their business, and it worked well. Every government bonuses- roilway, steamship, colonization and irrigation companies-1, then why draw the'line at silver-lead produces? The bonus need not be for ever, it might be on a sliding sciile on the basis of output. In short, it might be regulated in any one of hcveivil ways without injuring any party's policy as a principle. What the silver-lead company require is government encouragement to enable them to smelt at home, and export their products to .England or other markets open, and,realise the profits they realised iii the United' States through the late smelting and shipping arrangements. We believe a committee from this province, who fully/understood the question, should have no serious difli- culty in inducing the irovernment to make the necessary concessions to meet the situation. Tarty principles ancl party policies are all supposed to be moulded in the public interest, and "must, therefor, be modified or adjusted to encourage the country's welfare.

Tyrrell, the [explorer of the barren lands and the chairman of the Commit tee-on Polar Researches of the Ontario Land Surveyors" Association, who says; "I believe you are an the right track to success." Dr. G. 11. Dawson, director of the Geological Survey' of Canada, writes; "The recent' voyage of the L'ram seems to indicate that an expedition carried out along the line of Oapt. Bernier's project, if properly- equipped and manned, would have every probability of a .successful issue." And Dr. Bell, the assistant Director-General of Dominion Surveys, supplements the above with the following; "I think you havo chosen the best course and the best method, arnd that if yoUvfol- low out these plans you will succeed." The cax>tain has promise of generous Canadian aid for his expedition, and has gone to .England to interview Sir Clements Markham, president o; the Hoyul Geographical Society, on the project, and also to make arrangements for the construction of a new ship. It will be decided in lingiand whether this vessel is to be of wood or malleable steel; that is, the Siemens-Martin, mild steeJ. A STEEL SHIP. The experience of Nansen's Pram makes the captain rather unfavorable to a wooden ship, because of,the fears that that vessel engendered among her crew when in the ice floes. His-preference is for a steel ship, the sides of which can be so heated from within that she will avoid the evil effects of ice pressure and being shaped Jike the Pram will readily rise from the pressure of opposing ice floes. Capt. Bernier estimates the total cost of the expedition at from ������80,000 to $90,000, of which $-15,000 to $50,000 will be required for the vessel and it's out- fit. He gives his own- services free. Sir Clements Markham has already declared that another expedition ought to continue Nansen's work, taking- the drifting ice further to the east than he did, in which case he believes it would float over or nearly over the pole. Bernier does not share the belief of some that there ia a--y extent of land in tho neighborhood of the pole, that would interfere with the regular drift of the ���������Ajrctic ice. He declares it unreason- a.ble to believe that there is other than deep water in the vicinity of the pole, when 300 miles south of it in the direction of Greenland, the depth of water is from 1,800 to 2,000 fathoms. TO START JUNE 1. Capt. Bernier proposes to set" out on his voyage about June 1, leaving Vancouver for Behring Straits, accompanied by a crew of twelve, all possessed of special scientific attainments. The coast of Siberia will be followed as far as the new Siberian islands, the expedition passing to the west of them to survey SanniJcof Land and to finish the survey of North Bennett Island commenced by the Jeannette's crew. There the opportunity will be watched for in the late period of navigation, to proceed to tho north of the Jeannette's Arctic position through one of the northeasterly openings in the ice that are always found to exist about October. The winter quarters of the ship will be about 500 miles from thb pole. Here away due east of the main camp. These observation camps will constitute one of the main features of the expedition. Not only will they be sighted from one another, but they will be connected by telephonic communication, supplemented by a system of wireless telegraphy. The flagstaffs of these stations will be composed _of hollow aluminum pipes, two to three inches in diameter, containing emergency supplies of food. These pipes will be eighteen feet high. Each station will be supplied with self-registering thermometer, and biarotmeter. Pive of them at least are to be established, and if this eastward extension of communication for fifty miles is found, by observation, to be sufficient for overcoming the westward drift, the number and extension of these observation stations can readily be increased, so that the passage of at least a'portion of the party immediately over the polo may be definitely accomplished. BALLOONS, TO BE RELEASE D. Small balloons with records of the expedition's progreas will bo released at monthly or fortnightly intervals, and each succeeding balloon will contain the record entrusted to former ones, to provide against the Joss of any. Each will be furnished with twenty days' supply of hydrogen. To avoid evaporation they will be so freighted as to be imprisoned in the cold air near the surface of the sea, PROVISIONS DEARER IN ENGLAND.

There is no single detached ward in our language large enough to express the complex impression- made by these straying matrons of high fashion.

A man who spent the winter of 1898 in Dawson City was relating some of his experiences' bo a party of friends; ".From November clear on to March," said he, "it was far boo cold for any- kind of work, arnd all we could do .was to huddle around the fires and talk. It was the most talkative winter of my life, yet there was one topic w.e never exhausted; in fuci'L, wo invariably drifted around to it, no raal- , ter what we started. That was what we would do when we got back to 'God's country' with a big stake. A good many of the boys had the gold aiready stored away, in tin cans under their bun/ks, but not one of' us doubted that h'e would strike it rich before he left, so wo. were ail on a-D equaliLy when it came to discussing future plans. "I rein-ember a big, jovial Irishman by the name of O'llalloran, who had aiccii'mulated 1,200 ounces, worth about $18,000, and who used to declare the first thing he would db when he got home would be to buy a hack. He was "always.l a day laborer before lie came fao the Klondike, and his life had .-', been made up of long stretches of hard work and miserly saving, followed by brief and glorious drunks, in which he had ridden in hacks, with his legs through the windows, chanting (bacchanalian hymns. To him hack riding represented the climax of h/uman luxury, and to have a haok of his own, in which he could ride continually : without being 'braced' for fare, was the pinnacle of his dreams. Imagination- could go no further. "Another lucky gold hunter was a young man named Andrews, who had been a 'waiter. He used to tell what he would, eat when he got bad; and the recital never failed to interest a large audience. "Now tell us wot yer goin' to order for de ong-tray,'somc- oody would suggest, and he would proceed to reel off a section of a menu card in French while his'listeners licked their chops and rolled their eyes in ecstacy. After a Icing diet of bacon and beans Andrews's, monologues were positively madden-j ing. One lof the simplest-minded of' the crowd-was a chap 'from Iowa, who could never be induced to express a wish for anything except a suit of pink silk: underclothes. He knew a faro dealer at Seattle who possessed such garments, and their .weird beamty, together with the fact that they .oast $35 a set, had appealed powerfully to his imagination.

One of the conditions on which British Columbia entered the Dominion of Canada was that' a direct railway line should be built connecting western Canada, with the eastern provinces. The work was begun by the Mackenzie Government and was continued after that government had been defeated by a syndicate of capitalists, of which the chief men were Canadians. This syndicate was to receive a subsidy of $25,000,000, and also a (grant of twenty-five million acres of land in the fertile districts of the northwest. So 'great were the exer- tionsl made by this syndicate that the roaxl was opened for general traffic in June 1886. .The main 'line is 2909 miles' in length', beginning at Montreal and ending" at Vancouver. From Montreal the line xuns' to Ottawa, I from there 'north of the great lakes' to Port Arthur, then through' Winnipeg,' Regina and Stephen, in the Rocky Mountains to Vancouver. ��������������� ax������x.x3xar3c������xx> xtziooaoj CEYLON TEA Lead Packets, 25, 30, 4o. 50, 60c.
