.T '"" \ / VOL 3. NO. 5. SANDON, B. C, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1899. ,i FIVE CENTS. I. A Large Attendance of Miners and Other Interested Citizens. ��������� Mr. J. J. Walker, editor of the Spokane labor jourml, held a public meet < ing in Spencer's hall, Wednesday cvoiv ing, which was well attended, by an orderly audience, the majority being miners. President SUickham took the chair, but instead of introducing the speaker in" a fow remarks, as is the custom on such occasions, he occupied a full hour in-exposing the harness of the mine owners, the ignorance and ���������weakness of the local press and a full ' outline of his own personal honesty. The Review is no champion of tho mine owners, but when "ir"~maii in Stockham's position insinuates that ��������� their opposition to the eight-hour law is because it prevents them from grinding down the miners, he .imply misrepresents the facts. Some of them, doubtless, nre tjrindcrs, but they all would not be, even- if 'the law gave them every chance to be such. What the most sensible of their number object to is merely, what every statesman in every civilized country admits, that when radical changes aro contemplated in any laws due notice of the contemplated changes should be given that all interests might adapt themselves to the coming changes. Mr. Stockham next took a shy at The lie view, declaring it was week in its position on the eight-hour law, but he took the best of care that, in his spirit of fairness, ho did not invite thc cditoi, who was in tho room, to a position on the platform to discuss thc matter with him. But that would not nave coincided with Mr. Stockham's sense of justice. It is not true, as stated by Stockham, that The lleview opposes the eight-hour law. What it plainly eontcnil_ is" it does not go far enough in ono direction while it de- .. stroys the liberty of the subject in another. There are more farmers and fishermen in this province than there are miners, and when the law was introduced at all, it should havo applied to all interests alike���������simply made eight hours a statutory day. The lie- view too believes, notwithstanding Mr. Stockham's allegation to the contr ry, that the miners are us manly and as capable as any other class of people in the country,, and they could say for themselves, when drawing their 5>3.00 or $3.50 ior eight hours, whether or not they wanted to worn longer aud earn more without being restricted by legislation. Tnis is what The Review has always contended, and we defy Mr. Stockham, or any one else, to prove the contrary. The lleview has always said too that with conditions as they are ������3.50 a day ��������� is as little as good miners should work lor in this country. Next Mr. Stockham paraded his own personal honesty, but had not a word of explanation lor the honesty oi a wian who would subject a respectable citizen to the disgrace ot an arrest in a strange place, witnout the shadow of such ground ui"complaint, as a man of even liali" horse sense would accept, against him. Lul this is not all���������then refuse to appear-in court when summoned to do so. to either oiler an explanation for his iouiishness or his personal'pique, as the case may be, which any man with halt mo much-boasted honesty would not hesitate to do. Hiding behind the fact that he is not worth tho costs ul an action may be saustaotory to men oi Mr. Stockham's sense of honor, but we have every assurance that it is not shared iu by a dozen miners in the locality. Mr. Walker id a fair speaker, and for his purpose argues welt; but we fail to see how an exposure to British Columbians oi the venality ol tho American couns and the corruption ol the oili- cers at the Coeuc d'Aienca'is going to help the situation any. It reminds one ol the lushmaii who was going to Iree Ireland by drinking a keg ot Scotch whiskey, it may bo that every word Mr. Walker said about law and order aoruos the lines is the naked truth, but even if so, as tne authorities ou this side are in no way responsible ior the circumstance, wu lail to see xrhat good end can be gained by inflaming the public miud here, where justice is supreme. Mrl Walker's setting lire to the tails of the foxes to burn the com fields of the Philistines can scarcely correct the alleged wtongs in thc Coour d'Alenes. Mile, before' the London & British Columbia Goldfields Company : "Thc average receipts for the ore already vended (1438 tons) were S7S.75 per ton after deducting duty, freight, treatment and zinc penalty. Thc net receipts for the first shipment of 1054 tons were equal to SS9.75 ner ton ; for tho second shipment, $59 45. The reason for this reduced price has already been pointed out. It'simply indieates the reduced tenor to which the dressing has been carried. , "With the present amount of _ development and method of working^ an average output of thirty ton per day- can be obtained���������that is, at the rate of about 10,000 'tons per annum. - To maintain this output the development must be kept'well in advance of the slopes. Taking the net value_ of the average tenor of ore to be shipped��������� after deducting duty, freight, treatment and zinc penult}'���������at S7G per ton, and the'working cost at ������21 per ton, the annual profits irom working thc mine would be $550,000. We havo no hesitation in saying that, with competent management, even if the present method of working be continued, tho mine is worth $1,000,000, and if certain improvements arc made, as suggested below, that value would be increased." The Silvcnte. . The Silvcnte, situated this side of Three Forks, is another property that is coming to the front. It is owned by Cory ami Foster, and is located on an extension of the Queen Bess lead. _ It consists of three claims���������the Silyeritc, Silver Itidge and Billy D.

Tney found a 3-foot paystreak, one-half clean ore and 'the balance concentrating, the rest of thegangue matter being lime rock and talc. So far they have uncovered a 60-foot ore chute, and have traced the ledge 1000 feet down the hill, exposing more or less ore. At this depth they have commenced a second tunnel as nearly as possible on the paystreak at that point of the ledge. Slocan's Pioneer Mines.

This was the'I first celebration for the old pioneer ! mining camp of this division of thc Slocan, and its citizens did not let a little thing like rain interfere with their plans f<_r "a day," ior, ' though gotten up in short order,thc celebration was ouite an event. On the arrival of the train from Sandon, the visitors were escorted, to the music of dynamite bombs from the reverberating hills, up town where tho other citizens and Silverton people were in waiting. After a short pause, etc., the crowd marched to the sporting grounds, led by tho Sandon brass hand. These grounds, which were but recently fitted up from the \ irgin soil, arc a credit to the enterprise oi thc sporting people'^of the little burg, and should be an incentive to Sundonitcs to "go and do likewise." The first on the list of sports was a football match between Sandon juniors and the home team, which in spite of rain and mud was a well played game, resulting in a score of 2 to 1 in fovor of the visitors. The band then very acceptably filled up the gap between the first and second games, the latter being between Siiverton's stalwart lads and Sandon's seniors. This was, of course, the most exciting game,_ as each team had scored a victory against thc other on former occasions, making the third tho rubber, aud it proved a heliub. At the end of the hour tlio score stood 1 to 1. The ball hovered frequently around thc Silverton goal and Sandon's goal keeper by a mistake ot his position was said to have let the ball bass him hoping to got a goal kick giving the oppocents an easy goal, but as flukes cut no ice the teams stand to the present ties. Although the day afforded splendid opportunities for tho rooters they did not appear to be very much in evidence, though some of the Silverton boys' prettv white pants decidedly changed color, and thc Sandon boys took on football faces. At the conclusion of the games the people wended their way back to town for dinner and the wind-up of thc program, which consisted of races on thc street���������some of which were rather amusing to the onlookers���������and a dance in Betty's hall. 'The dance was opened with a waltz by tne baud, but as tho still' up-grade to Sandon had to liu footed they did long linger long to pipe for the dancers. Other music being secured the young people continued to enjoy themselves till as late bouts as their respective walks would seem to permit. The visitors all said thc day was ail that could be expected under tho circumstances.

The present threatening aspect of affairs in South Africa gives cause to refer to tho earlier history of tho now lou-g continued struggle for British ascendancy in that part of the world. At the opening ot tho Imperial Parliament on January Ulh, 1881, her Majesty's speech contained tho following paragraph: "A rising in tho Transvaal has recently imposed upon mo the duty of taking military measures with a view to the prompt vindication of my authority; and has of necessity set aside for (he limj any plan for securing fo th*1 European settlers that full control over their own local affairs, without prejudice to the interests of the natives, which 1 have been desirous to confer." The. history of the rising hore referred fo is as follows: On December 101 h, 1880, the Boers proclaimed at Heidelberg a republic, and arms wero at once resorted (o against the British. January 1st, 1881, found Colonel Win- sloe, with tho small force under his command, besieged by the insurgent boers at Polchefslroom, Major Montague at Standerton, while Sir Owen Lanyon, her Majesty's High Commissioner, was blockaded at Pretoria. Major-General Sir George Colley, who had recently arrived in South Africa from Endia, though only able fo muster soma fifteen hundred men, at onco marched to the relief of Pretoria'. DEMAND OF THfcl INSURGENTS. The Dutch population of tho Transvaal, who had risen in, arms to regain t'heir independence, demanded the restoration of the Republican Govern- msnt, which had been granted to thern by the convention of 1832, and at this period they elected three of their most pi eminent citizens to form a Provi- slomil Government. Their names were S. J\ Kruger, M. ,W. Pretorious and J". P. Joubert. Every out) of these had held high office in the Transvaal Republic, for many years before it was annexed to the British Empire in 1877, arnd each of them had taken a prominent part in opposing the annexation at the time, and continued that opposition until the period now spoken of. To again refer to the period of 1877:��������� The Dutch Republican Government by resolution of its Executive Council held at Pretoria, on April 11th, 1877, ordered a deputation to go Lo England to remonstrate with her Majesty's Gov- eruuijnL, us well as to present Lhe protest of President T. F. Burgess against the act of annexation carried into effect by Six 'J'. Shepslonc. The present President, 1899, Paul Kruger, accompanied }jy Dr. Jorrisen, formed the first deputation. -They went to .London, sought out Lord Carnarvon at Lhe Colonial Office, and were there informed by him, he bo i.n g Colonial Secretary at the time, that the annexation could not be revoked. Memorinls were presented to the Colonial Office, signed by large numbers of the Dutch, population in the Transvaal and iu Cupe Colony, and addresses from the Orange River Free State, from Amsterdam aind from other cities of Holland were equally disregarded. Sir. T. Shepstonu was then Administrator in South Africa for the Government, und he issued the severest menacing decrees for the suppression of the agitation. On thel other hand, a new memorial and "protest" against the annexation was signed by fi^Dlmen of the Dutch n.-uion in Lhe Transvaal, thp.se being nearly seven-eighths of the entire udult male population. A SECOND DEPUTATION proceeded lo England in 1878, nnd on July 10th in that year had an audience with Sir Michael Ilicks-Beach, wh") had succeeded Lord Carnarvon at the Colonial Office. They were again unsuccessful, and returned to .South Africa to report tho rejection of their proposal. ' The proclamation issued by the Provisional Government which has" beeh spoken of rea<l as follows:���������. "All the inhabitants of this country who will keep themselves quiet and remain obedient to (he laws shallstand under the--protection of the laws, but it cauuot promise to extend this forgiveness ' to those burghers of the South African Republic who assumed the position'of'open enemies to the people and continue to deceive the English Government by their untruthful representations. All officials who serve the' Government now, (md who are abfe and willing; to serve under the altered circumstances of the biMintry, shall have a claim to retain their places and such advantages as their position now affords to them. To the English Government is reserved the right to maintain in each country n. Consuf or diplomatic agent to represent the interests of British subjects. The differences about boundaries with natives shall be submitted to arbitration. For the native policy the Government is prepared to accept general principles bo be decided upon after deliberation with the colonies and States of South Africa. The republic is preparing to confederate with the colonies and1 States of South Africa. Finally, we declare and make known to all and' everybody, that from this day the country is declared to be in a state of siis'K-s and under the provisions of mar- Ua������ law." ASKING FOR SYMPATHY. , In addliion to issuing this proclamation the Provisional Government sent letters to President Brand, the President of the Orange River Dutch Free State; to Mr. Gordon Sprigg, Prime Minister of Cape Colony; and to Sir G-eorge Colley, the Lieutenant-Governor, claiming the sympathy of Lhe English Government. In their appeal to Sir George Colley they rer peatedly spoke of their respect for the Queen and for the people of England, To Mr. Sprigg they s.iid:-i "We are fully aware that the political condition of the colony prevents any act which might be in opposition to its noble loyalty to her Majesty the Queen, but a moral assistance, and, perhaps, intervention with the Home Government will go a long way to prevent a most wicked war between two nations, which will create an everlasting hatred between the two'white populations. We trust that, the proclamation will convince everybody of out earnest wish to co-operate with the States and colonies of SouLh Africa for all purposes of general welfare." As here skclchod, this is the history of the beginning of tho dispute. Its sequel will be told later. In li.is efforts to suppress the insurrection, marching towards Pretoria, Sir George Colley, with a force of 7(10 men, consisting of some of tho 58th, GCth and 92nd R<eg.menls, and some of the Naval Brigade, started from Lhe British camp at Mount Prospect, late on the niglu oC Saturday, February 2Gi.ii. Every man carried with him provisions for three days and eighty rounds of ammunition. The expectation seems to have been that after taking Majuba Hill th'ey would h'ave been able to hold it for two or three diiys, when reinforcements, under General Sir Evelyn Wood, were expected to arrive, and an assault would have been made on Laing's Nek. Majuba Hill was some three or four miles from the British oarn;i at Mount Prospecl. The. Standard correspondent thus described the XXDsltion: BATTLE OF MAJUBA HILL. ' "We appeared perfectly safe. The Boers at night got between us ancl the camp, but we had three 'days' provisions and could hold out until the reinforcements came up. Our casualties were few and unimportant, and all were perfectly confident of the result. From eleven to twelve the enemy's fire continued as hot but as harmless as before; between twelve and ono it slackened, and' it seemed as if the Boors were drawing off. "This, however, was not the case. The enemy had been, as we afterwards learned, very, strongly reinforcing his fighting line in preparation for an assault; and shortly after one o'clock a terrific fire suddenly, broke forth from the right lower slopes of the hill, the side on which the firing had all along been heaviest. A tremendous rush was simultaneously made by the enemy. Our advance line was at onee nearly all shot or driven back upon our main position. This may be described as an oblong basin on tie top) of the" hill- It was about two hundred yards long by fifty broad. Our whole force now lined tho sides of the basin, and fixed bayonets to repel the assailants. The Boers with shouls of triumph swarmed up Lhe sides of the hill,'and made several desperate attempts to carry the position with a rush; each time, however, they were driven back with the bayonet. After each charge Lhe firing, which nearly ceased during lhe mcleo, broke oul wilh renewed violence, and tho air above us seemed alive with bullets. The Lroops did their duty well and steadily, and, trying as was the occasion, fought with great coolness, encouraged by their officers. "At last the Boors, who had gathered near the edge of the slope, made a tremendous rush at a point beyond t hat at which they had been before attacking, and where the numbers of the defenders were comparatively small. They burst through the ranks, poured in over the, edge of the basin, and OUR POSITION WAS LOST. THREE YEARS AFTER / an February 27th, 1881, a second convention having met in London, England, it was agreed between the two powers thai the Transvaal should assume the name of the South African Republic. In addition to this, Great Britain's suzerainty was abandoned, and the British resident commissioner was replaced by a diplomatic agent. At the same Lime the new South African Republic also agreed to submit any treaty or engagement that they might enter into with any state or nation, with the exception of the Orange River Free State,' or with any of the native tribes to the east or to the west of the Transvaal, to the British Government, the latter, having the right to veto the treaty or t realies if it so desired at any Lime ,within a period of six months after their conclusion. The same convention contained a prohibition of laws imposing disabilities as to trader or establishing differential duties or taxes to the prejudice of Uit landers or resident foreigners. The. events of the last half dozen years in South Africa have shown how very little regard has been paid to the stipulations contained in the last paragraph by the Government of the.South African Republic; it is, in fact, owing to their evasion and disregard that (lie present threatening aspect of affairs has arisen. TALKS ABOUT DETECTIVES THE REAL THINGS ARE NOT A BIT LIKE FAIRY STORIES. NEW CURE FOR INSOMNIA. l������r. "The main line of each division had their flank turned, and being taken in reverse mado a rush along the plateau to endeavour to rally, bur it was useless. With fierce shouts and a storm of bullels, the Boers poured in. There was a wild rush, with Lhe Boers close behind, while the roar of fire, the whistling ot bullets, the yells of the enemy, made up a din which seemed infernal. All around m-jn were falling; there was no resistance, no h.ilt���������it was :i fighl for life. AL this moment I was knocked down by the rush and trampled on, and when 1 came to my senses the Boers were firing over me. at Iho retreating troops, who were moving down Lhe hill. "Upon trying to rise. I was taken prisoner and led away. On the hill I found the body of General Colley shot through the head. I also saw Captain Singleton, of the 92nd, severely wounded ; Lieutennnt Hamilton, 92nd, slightly ; Dr. Lanton, severely; Captains Morris, severely; and Millar, also severely. Captain Maude was killed; Lieutentitit Macdonuld, of the 92nd, was also a prisoner. What others were killed, wounded, or taken prisoners, I cannot, as yet, say, but fear that our loss, both in officers and men, is very sovere. Mamy are still missing, having hid themselves in ��������� the brushwood-on the hills till the darkness fell." j- After the disastrous affair at Majuba Hill, and the death of Sir George Colley, Sir Evelyn Wood, who had succeeded Sir George in the command, concluded an armistice with the triumphant Boers. The result of this armistice was that; peace was signed between Great Britain and the Dutch Republic on March 21st, 1881.' After negotiations extending over several months, on October 26th, 18.81, a convention was entered into between Great Britain and the Republic which was ratified by the Volksraad, and which contained the following provisions :���������So far as domestic affairs were concerned, self-government was entirely restored't.o the Transvaal, 1iut in all matters of foreign affairs or for- t*;i!(ltnl, <>r Tin-In, Claims lo Hare 2'oimel file fti-umly. The successful practitioner nowadays seems to be he who watches nature most closely and imitates her methods in his treatment of nervous troubles. Dr. Pardini, of Turin, . for instance, claims that he has discovered that Lhe besl method of treating obslinale insomnia is to make his palients imitate the drowsy noddings of a tired man while sitting in a chair. Every one who has ever watched a sleepy man in a street car has, probably been amused by the neck dislocating nods which herald Lhe approach of sleep. If Lhe observer has given any thought Lo the subject at all he has probably decided that Lhe contortions are due Lo lhe sleeper's unconscious efforls lo preserve his balance. Dr. Pardini says that balance has nothing to do with it. He declares LhaL the nodding is pathologic; that it is nature's method of inducing sleep. In addiLion Lo this, Dr. Pardini says thai a careful simulaLion of Lhe deep respiration, which is always present in normal sleep is of great therapeutic value in curing- insomnia.

As that poinl is reached Lhe patient is' to relax the muscles of the neck so as to allow Lho head Lo fall forward from its own weight. When the lowest point is reached the body is to be slightly inclined toward the right, so as Lo imparl a.rolling molion to the uncontrolled head. This, if properly carried out, brings the head of the patient, almosl under his right shoulder. The body is then to be inclined to the left and the head allowed Lo roll in Lhat direciion, slill uncontrolled by the muscles. As soon as the head has reached the left shoulder muscular control is to be\resumed and the head raised slowly until it is in Lhe same position as at the beginning of the exercise. Then Lhe whole method is to be repeated as long as needful. CURE FOR STAMMERING. V Simple .Ui-tlioil of lU-inotliiRn Trouble sons Habit. A gentleman who slammered from childhood almost up lo manhood gives a very simple remedy for the misfor- lune. "Go info a room where you will be quiet and alone, get some book LhaL will inleresl buL not excile you, and sit dowu and read two hours aloud to yourself, keeping y'our teeth together. Do Lhe same thing every two or three days, or once a week if very tiresome, always taking care to read slowly and distinctly, moving the lips, but not the teeth. Then, when conversing with others, try to speak as slowly and distinctly as possible, and make up your mind that you will not, stammer. Well, I tried this remedy, not^having much faith in it, I must confess, but willing to do most anything to cure ^myself of such an annoying difficulty. I read for two hours aloud with my teeth together. The first result was to make my tongue and jaws ache, that) is, while I was reading,, and tha next to make me feel as if something had loosened my talking apparatus, for I could speak with less difficulty immediately. The change was so great that everyone who knew me remarked it. I repeated the remedy every five or six days for a month, and then at) longer intervals till cured. , : Some young men would get along better if they had less point to their shoes and a little more to Lheir conversation.

Should a Detective Occelvc it Criminal?��������� A <lui-.sU������n Willi Two Miles���������Story or ii l.ui-gliir. If a detective be asked how he is' able to " spot " a criminal he has never seen before, he will very likely answer that ho does. noL know. It the. average person were asked to explain the peculiar fascination that a .detective exercises over a certain portion of tho public, about the same answer would be heard. Doubtless tho Old Sleuths and Sherlock Holmes' of imagination are accountable for a good deal of ii, and yel there are more substantial reasons. The act. of being close Lo crime, without being a part of il is in itself morbidiy interesting Lo many. Then, too, between the criminal "substance" and the ''shadow" there is a constant race ��������� of intellect��������� a" feanibling of brains. The slakes are high, for losing means imprisonment and p_rh2j}_ death. The detective usually wins, and hero worship of the victor is inborn in the human race, But the life of a defective isn't as much liko a fairy tale as some persons imagine. The training of the French detective policemen���������as expert as any in the world���������is very severe. Often, they voluntarily serve a term .in prison to get close to the life of the convict ; again they go to live among thieves in order Lo learn Lheir ways. They seldom are seen al police headquarters, and receive Lheir orders by tellers, wrilien in cipher, or by confidential messenger. The French detective mixes in society and his occupation is seldom known. In fact, two detectives may know each other personally very well, and yet never find out that their occupations are identical. In France, the details of a detective's work aro never published, and if often happens that persons who have been robbed soon find themselves possessed of Lheir valuables through Lhe EFFORTS OF THE POLICE, and yet are never Lold anything about, the methods by which Lhey were found. Of course aelecilves do nol adver- tiso thoir occupations by wearing uniforms, but it is diilicult to deceive the persons they are alter. As one of iheui said: " We know all of Lhose plain clothes officers; Lhey try.to look like other folks, but it's no use. We can tell 'em as well as if they wore helmets and blue coats." How far a detective is justified in deceiving a criminU.1 is considerable of a question���������" the end justifying the ���������means " requiring delicale. decision at Limes. A detective, for inslance, can steal a leller from a criminal because his intent is not to do an unlawful act. On the other hand, he would have no right to induce another person Lo steal in order to arresL him. Tho man who knows that the object in view is not theft, is not demoralized by it, but the person, who steals lo steal is injured by tho process. A much discussed case of quibbling with a criminal once happened in London. Some scoundrels advertised an art loan and as a result many valuable paintings were sent to them which they quickly sold for their own benefit. About thai time, a detective happened into the room of the man who was receiving the stolen goods. As soon as he found that he was discovered the man " peached" and offered to take the detective to the Lhieves. But afLer doing so, he found that he Loo was arrested. " I thought you were going to let me go Iree ?" said he, in much surprise. "Whon did I say-so?" He had neglected to get the detective's promise. THE INGENUITY OF DETECTIVES, is often surprising. For instance, at one time during a burglary, one of the offenders was caught, ��������� and the other escaped, though wounded. A deleclive argued LhaL some one would be at the trial to convey the earliest information to the escaped criminal, and so, stationing himself conveniently, he watched the faces in the court room. Finally he decided that one woman looked more anxious than the rest, and following her home, he found the other burglar stretched on a couch with a bullet in his leg. "Speaking of burglars," said a detective; " you know they have a. greal many ways of disposing of their goods. Fine stones are usually reset, ancl the old gold melted. Watches are taken out of their cases, the number and name scralched off, and then the works are put into new eases. Oftentimes jewelry is sent to another country, and sold. An English woman once had', a queer experience in Melbourne, Australia. Sho went into a jewelry store there, to buy a bracelet, and they handed her'one that had been stolen from . her house in London a few months before." 7 Detectives often stumble on To a clue through lack of nerve in the crim inal. Aa instance once happened in a little town in Michigan which waa torn up by tlie roots over the fact that the postoffice had been robbed. The assistant .postmaster was an exemplary young man especially renowned for piety, and owing to his position in tho department, Lho detecive on the case quizzed him thoroughly, now and then suggesting a possible solution ef Lhe mysLery. , BuL he noliced that every one of his suggestions tha pious official was greedily ready to believe. In short it soon .became evident LhaL he was. nervously anxious Lhat the blame should be allached to somebody or something���������from'his innocent grandmother to Lhe town clock ���������anywhere, in facl, so lhat it wouldn't fly up and "hit him in Lhe face. Of course LhaL was clue sufficient for the detective, who, a few .hours later, arrested thc official himself, in whose possession THE MONEY WAS FOUND. A case was once reported to the police, in which a poor mechanic had been robbed of tools and mone.y. He notified the detectives, who 'looked al tho window and decided it had been opened with a chisel, in a few 'moments they arrested Che nia,n for robbing himself, and incidentally his creditors, for.,lhey said to him: "The marks on (he window sill were all made from the inside." Jealousy is sometimes used as leverage in opening Ihe way to discovery, und a strange case once happened in England. A young man absconded, leaving his employers considerably the worse for if, and his wife refused to tell anything about him. But in his coat pocket, which he had left at the office, the detectives found the picture of a pretty two-year-old child. Arme'd with that and letters from the mother, the detectives visited the wife. She dicovered that the child belonged to her husband, and that tho letters were from its molher. Enraged with jealousy, she told all she knew of her husband nnd succeeded in having him arrested. Not long afterward sho went to London, and while there found a HI Lie child Lhat had become separated from its nurse. ��������� After a while, though the nurse found them, and through her the woman discovered that the child was the subject of the photograph. Rul thc sighl of Lhe innocent little creature had touched hor, and entirely changed her mood, so that insle-id of prosecuting Lhe father she pleaded with the court and saved him from punishment.

Muttt Unusual Sort ol n SiiowsIKlc Anions Xortvi'Klun .Mountains. A snow avalanche with very unusual results is reported from Norway. II gave the people of Chrlsliania something to talk about for a week. The unique ��������������������������� phenomenon occurred among the low mountains back of the capital on March 13. There: had been an extraordinary fall of snow, and then came a big thaw, which .melted'a great deal of the ice in the little Lil- , leda'l River. A very large number of fish had their horns-in this stream, and what happened to them.:is the unusual feature of tbds avalaiio*"-. In the night a, large mass of snow on the hills on one side of the stream slipped from the slopes ancl glided ��������� with great velocity down into the river. ;Tho face of the avalanche was about a mile in .'length, and for that distance it slid into the river, not sharing the rivet bed with the water, but violently ejecting the stream and the fish living in it. ' " The force of Lhat concussion must have been very great for tho water and fish were hurled hundreds of feet.. Next morning the -people were very much surprissd to find, high on the slopes of the hills bordering the other side of the valley, a great number of fish scattered over the snow. For - some days there was a most unusual sort of fishing in progress. Men, women and children we're floundering about in the"snow gathering the fish in baskets, and the people living along the valley had all the fish they could eat without baiting a hook.

By no small point is one's worldly experience gauged so easily as in the selection of one's vibiting cards. Woe to the unfortunate who is striving for a place in the social firmament if he al tempts anything novel or unconventional in the scrap ot pasteboard which announces his coming or departure. To be correct at Lhe present time the visiting cards must be of very fine thin pasteboard engraved iu scriut or black lelters. A gentleman's card is smaller than a lady's and narrower in proportion to its lengLJQ. Tne proper sizes of various cards of correct form are exacLly given in'the illustration. A gentleman's card always bears the prefix "Mr." It >s optional whether the fult name shall appear, but it is better form that the ^entire name be engraved or thai one of two names preceding a surname be dropped, rather than use an initial,- which is not considered smart. A married woman's card is engraved with her husband's full name. A widow may, according to the latest dicta tes of fashion, retain her husband's! name. Formerly this .was:' considered bad form aiid even now there is much argument concerning the propriety of, calling a widow "Mrs. John Martin" when there is no Mr. John, Martin;: and she has no legal right to use his name.' As a concession to,the sentimental side of the question the usage is permitted. Eldest daughters, after, they have passed five and ' twenty, [use cards separate from"-their mother's. ��������� Eldest single women belonging to the eldest branch of a family may use cards engraved, with the simple prefix Miss, as "Miss Brown", or '."Miss.vah Rensser iaer."....-' ..������������������/,- ".-:���������" ...7 7 Wives of eldest sons of the eldest branch: of a family may. use the prefix Mrs. only as"; "Mrs.'Spencer," or "Mrs. Churchill." Wives" of other . branches must have their; husbands', names upon their visiting cards;, for'example, "Mrs. James Brbwn7 Spencer"..'.'..or "Mrs. Thomas Gray Churchill." Addresses are engraved in the right- hand corner and are no longer fashionable, it being agreed that every one in smart society is too well known to require an address.. Husbands and wives have separate cards. A single gentleman may put the name and address of his club on his cards if he chooses. A lady, if admitted to pay. a visit may leave her card on the; hall table; she should not hand it to the servant but give her name, which Li announced. Cards are no longer turned or bent at the corners. MICROSCOPIC WONDERS.

The crisis anticipated for some time has come at length, and Martin has been' asked by Premier Senifin to resign. Iii reply Martin says "I won't; if anyone should resign, it should be you." Of'course, under constitutional rule, a provincial premier has the right and the power- to make and --unmake cabinets as he pleases; but it is hard to 6ny how things- may go. under Sem- lin-Martinrule. If is reported that the oppcsitioii-held a-caucus, aiid they decided to have nothing to do with the Semlin party. .We should not be-sur7 .prised-if the people were appealed, to in'a general election. According to the Const papers "there ire serious complications" in'-the Local; cabinet;"and. the'people are asked by some of thehi to .'interfere.-'Wow what can -the people do? ���������. Simply, nothing until the House dissolves and a gen-' era! election is held...About "a year ago, the people gave-.'Mr. Seniliii half the House, and if-he has not".made.,"ai proper use of his opportunities; he has irbut himself, to blame! The fact is that,' decent, old man and all as he-is he has not . the firmness ��������� and .strength of purpose for that position/., and as a consequence his lieutenants arc runnings; things pretty much as.'they please. Cotton is a man of some resolution of purpose and ability; and as a consequence he is disposed to hold his own against all comers." Martin,too is a man. of will, but as he is proving himself here what he did elsewhere���������a disgrace to his associates���������inextricable muddles follow.-: He'never' can engage in a discussion with 'others, without getting into a light and raking up characters, when his own will not bear the slenderest investigation. If Lieut- Governor Mclnries would only, do with Semlin & Co. a8 he did with Turner & Co., dismiss the whole faction, the people'would have-then an opportunity to right soiiie of the wrongs that are cropping up. in.so'many places. 7 Recorded at' New..

Snow Cap, Four Mile;;.a\ XV S R.W Back From Atlin, The ICaslo Kootenaian says The Review speaks "dolefully" of Mr. Clifl'e's arrest by the president of the Miners' Union. What The Review .speaks most dolefully about is the defects in the law asit'stands atpresent. Here was an arrest of a party, which might have proved a serious matter to him' in more ways than one, without what common sense would have suggested . as'the slightest ground for the act, and by -a person wholly irresponsible in every sense of the'word. The law says if he alone is,responsible for the act, the only course for reasonable satis- faction is recourse to the'courts in a civil action, which means a heavy outlay at the outset, and without the slightest assurance oi' recovering costs in a judgement. The matter is now in ths hands of'M'r. Olifle's solicitors, and if 'they- can learn that the 'union is responsible for the arrest, it will be held for the; consequences. This seems JikeJy from tiie iiict that the president, \ice-president and others of tbe union authorised .llie prucediugs taken. The regret is that the la'vv of the land allows men of straw such license and liberties. If costs for consequences had been exacted under a law calling j/or (Cranbrook Herald, June.29th.) Robert Evans, : owner of the , Commercial hotel building in this city, returned from the Atlin mining district yesterday morning and left for McLeod this morning. '' Mr. Evans does not seem to be1 very favorably impressed with Atlin or the country, although he thinks that in the future there will be a far better showing made than the results of this, season, will give. He went.to Skaguay and over the pass on thenew railroad. He found Bennett, on Lake Bennett; a red hot town. Many hundred people bad gathered in there thisyear before the lakes were open and had to wait, for the season to. advance. At Atlin he found a town of four or live thousand people, two-thirds of whom were without work ancl complaining.; -Atlin,is built upfairfy.wcill, and has one hotel that cost !?I5,000.'

The space that has been alloted for the exhibit is large and well chosen, and ample lunds are provided to make the undertaking highly successful, if the mine and prospect holders of Kootenay will devot a little time and attention to assisting in the collection of the best samples ol ore. Most complete ar- raugements have been made for the care and handling of the samples, and' all that ia necessary for thc contributor of samples to do is to deliver the same to any C. P. R. or Great Northern rail- ���������svay agent, together with as complete ti_Bunimary oi the ore's contents, value, etc., who will take and forward, free of all coat, to the proper ofliccs at Nelson. The samples will be held there until a later date, and then ior warded to Victoria. ��������� This collection should be made a very creditable one. Canada has been alloted one-eighth of the total space allowed the British Empire at Paris, and Mr. Robertson has been assured by Dr. Dawson, who has virtual control of this department, thatBritish Columbiashail have half the space set apart for theDo- minion nuuing'exhibit, providing thirs province sends a collection worthy of such prominence. Specimens must be eight inches cube, though exceptionally finu individual samples of larger size ���������will be accepted. B.B.B. CURES SHINGLES. Mr. John W.

Archibald, of Hopewell Cape, N.B., (.1 cut of whom appears below), is ono of the severest and most intractable that has ever been reported from the eastern provinces, and his cure by jNIilbTirn's Heart and Nerve Pills the more remarkable from the fact that he was given up as incurable by worthy and respected physicians. The' disease, Locomotor Ataxia, with which Mr. Archibald was allliclcd is considered the most obstinate ancl incurable disease of the nervous system kifown. When once it starts it gradually but surely progresses, paralyzing the lower extremities and rendering its victim helpless and hopeless, enduring the indescribable agony of seeing himself die by inches. That Mire-urn's Heart and Nerve Pills can cure thoroughly and completely a disease of such severity ought to encourage those whose disorders arc not so serious to try this remedy.

McKay arrived on the scene, and the recorder told them lhat if they cut their names off Bonanza, he would put their names down on tho new creeks. This Clements, Anlone, and 1 Keller did. "The first of a gang of slanipedeis. who had corns to Dawson on tbe steamer, arrived. Among those were William Scouse and William Sloan,, who took li and 15. Soma one staked 13 in a fictitious na'mo, to try to hold for a friend, perhaps, and this was afterwards jumped by a man of the name of Hollingshead. "We all went over to the creek, and began to measure and record. "Cobb jumped Phiscaters claim, 3.S he had not taken his name off Bonanza. fL'ho name of the creek was formally declared to be "El Dorado, as agreed upon at the meeting the night before. "Cobb lost his claim, for Constantino decided that 'at the time he jumped there was plenty of as good ground farther up the creek, and that it was hoggish, to say the least, to jump ground where a discovery of gold had been made.' Had all the five claims been jumped, instead of only one, and this been dono after tho sreek had been staked, there is a chance whether Antone, Keller, and jompany would NOT HAVE LOST THEIR CLAIMS, to which they had not the slightest legal right until they had taken their names off Bonanza, and the reasons that barred Cobb would not have applied to late comers, when there was no more ground on the creek above. "The spot where the gold was discovered was, like the discovery^ on Bonanza, at the edge of the creek on the line of Nob, 2 and 3. It was taken from a cut in the bank, and was practically surface gold that had slid down from (he old channel on the hill-side. It was nothing more or less than 'bench' gold, the existence of which was not even suspected at' [that time, Prom fa. \h,o!lo eig'h't'e.en inches deep in the creek-bed, and under water, as high as two dollars was taken out. (Ued-rook where the real richness lay, and the real creek-bed, was fifteen or sixteen feet below the surface, under muck and gravel. "The next morning, at six o'clock, we started back, and reached the Indian village at one p.m. crossed over to oar cache, and had dinner. Then we started for Forty Mile, which we reached at ten-thirty that night, and next day we recorded again, and finally at Constantine's office." .Johns, like so many others, little knew the value of the claim he had Btaked. After some days, a favorable report must have been received from the new diggings. He was offered (j>500 for tho claim, and sold it to Knut Langlows and Mrs. Ilealy. One halt was cash, the other half to bo paid when bed-rock was leached. In the case of the man who staked 29, and played Charlie Anderson for an easy mark, he too simply judged Klondike values like others in that country. Those who sold were-by no means tools. They simply had a chance to sell for a grub stake, which was about all a man usually got from a year's work. And if the truth- were confessed, the reason why there were not : more sales at that time was that '' THERE WERE FEW BUYERS, For this is what happened; first claims were of no value; then, as gold was found, they rose in value slowly first, then with great leaps. The seller would want, say, a thousand dollars; by the time the buyer found that it was really worth a thousand, the claim owner had discovered it to be worth ten thousand; and when the buyer was willing to buy at that price, the value had jumped to'twenty thousand, and so on. The buyers were just one, lap behind the sellers. No. 31 El Dorado was sold by the original slaker for ������1C0, ������80 being cash. Within six months it was sold for ������31,0110, and one year later the owner refused ������150,000. One-half of 30 El Dorado, it is said, was sold for a sack of flour. The owners, big Alec. McDonald and Biliy Chappel, did not think enough of it to work it themselves, but rather late in the season put. it out on a lay, and took a lay themselves on (another claim. The laymen struck it the first hole, and out of thirty burnings took out ������40,000. Antone went to Forty Mile after staking. He was short of grub, and wanted to work his claim. Ordinarily any man could get credit in the lower country, but when Antone applied tc the Alaska. ' Commercial Company, the 'temporary agent would not let him hove it unless it waa guaranteed. One Clarence Berry came forward, guaranteed Antone's bill, and re- csived in return a one-half interest 1*, the claim, perry was sometimes spoken of as a "tin-horn gambler," w*s not supposed-to have much money and he was never called upon to make the guarantee good. It was whispered about the camp that the agent expected to profit hy the transaction. As a matter of fact ho did not. After wards. Antone and Berry bought controlling interests in Nos. 4 and 5, and a fraction between 5 and 6. Their group of claims became known, through the public press as "the Berry claims," about which there was a little romance of a winter trip, a young bride, and nutrgetsby the handful. The length of the claims hero, as elsewhere in the Canadian Yukon, was five hundred feet, instead of one hundred feet allowed by the general law of Canada. Tho modification in favor of the larger claim was brought about in 1894 through the agency of Captain Constanline, who recognized that, on both sides of the international line, which crossed the heart of the' Forty Mile diggings, mining conditions were precisely the same; indeed, the exact location line was unknown until 1896. On the American side the miners. ' ' MADE TnEIR OWN LAWS, and might make the claim any length they chose. ,up to something oven thirteen hundred feet; but upon nearly all thc gulches it had been fixed at five hundred feet as the smallest claim that could be worked, at the samo time being large enough to afford return for the labor of prospecting. At least five hundred feet was required to give a sufficient drop of water for (he sluice-boxes. This wise act was one of many indications at that time of Canada s sincere desire to govern her growing ierritory_ in the best interests of the country and Ihe miners. Another right which the miners had under United Slates law was that 01 appointing one of their own number, and ono recorder for each gulch. The Canadian system, however, provided one man in a mining district, appointed by Ottawa, whose sole business was to act as recorder, or gold commissioner. Where the diggings were near at hand, this was no great inconvenience, but where they were distant not less than sixty miles, as the new diggings of Klondike, the miners themselves were under the necessity of appointing a temporary recorder, as Mr. Johns has mentioned, so as to avoid the long trip, as well as to straighten out at once disputes that inevitably occur. They paid this recorder .?2 for each claim, agree- inj; at the same time to pay to Captain Constantino 'in due season the $15 required by Canadian law. When lhey began to measure the claims, hy some trick, a forty-foot rope was introduced, instead of a l'ifly-foot one. This had (ho effect of reducing the five hundred foot claims by fifty feet or more, which! left fractions between that by this time were of great value. These were seized upon and staked the same as full claims, but upon the deception being found out, there was a big row, and Mr. William Ogilve (he Canadian Boundary Commissioner, who happened to be in the country at the time locating ihe international line, was called Irom |i"orty Miie to settle the trouble. Mr. Ogilvie, being a magistrate, took testimony; the men confessed, were repentant, and were forgiven; and then Mr. Ogilvie made a partial survey of Bonanza and El Dorado. But many of the claims on Bonanza were short. One of these short claims was not the fault of the official measurer. It was on lower Bonanza. I never found out just where, but it was staked by a mounted policeman. The creek winds very much there, and TEIE VALLEY IS BROAD. He should have measured the five hundred feet in the direction of the valley, but ho was not able to see the direction, perhaps on account of the thick woods, and followed the creek in its winding. When the surveyor came along "and threw lines across the valley corresponding to his upper and lower stakes, the poor policeman, instead of having a claim was in debt six feet. One of the claims near Discovery on Bonanza was staked by Micky Wil- kins. Micky was not one of'those who were thrown into boats and brought along, nolens vplens from Forty Mile in the first'stampede, but he was one of a party who did help tie a drunken man and throw him into the boat. Micky, like a wise man, sold "out for a few hundred dollars. When 'they came to survey the claim, the new owner found only a" few inches. I felt sorry.for all who sold at thevery start until I met Micky. A fraction of a claim would hardly seem worth having, at least except in ground like Klondike. No'.-. 2 above was staked long. John Jacob Astbr Dusel was a good minar and he wanted to take in the mouth of Skookum Gulch. Dick Low put the tape to Dusel's claim 7 and found it about, eighty-five feet loo long, and took a narrow slice directly opposite the mouth of Skookum. He did not think so much of it ac Ihe time, He wanted ������9iH) for it. No one was so foolish ns to pay that much for the narrow strip of ground. He tried to let it out on a lay, but no one wanted to work it for an interest. He had to work it himself, poor'man!' The first hole was put down by his present-foreman,, and he did not find a cent. Further account of what is probably the rioh- est piece of ground in the whole Klondike must be left till later, when there are pack-horses to carry the gold down to Dawswn. On El Dorado llie claims were almost all excessively long. It looked' as if they were measured by guess while ori the run, and then a lot more added to make sure. One fraction, 37 A, is four hundred and twenty feet long���������almost a whole claim ! Several are from one hundred to one hundred and sixty feet in length. Sometimes the second man has been in a hurry and not measured his fraction correctly, and a third man comes along and FINDS ANOTHER TINY SLICE. Nothing was There was one < thought to be worth ten to twenty thousand dollars. A thirteen-foot fraction was found next to 14. It waa so narrow that tbe owner had to take a lay of thirty-seven feet on an adjoining claim in order to work it. Nor was all the luck confined to the mines. A butcher by the name of " Long Shorty," otherwise Thorp, had driven in some cattle, and was trying to reach Forty Mile late in the fall, in the ice with the meat on a raft. Ho was frozen in at the mouth of the Klondike, only to discover thero a big mining camp. That beef was a godsend to ^he miners that winter. It is considered essential to prevent scurvy. Provisions were very scarce. The transportation company had been able to bring enough up to supply tho camp, Flour had co be freighted with dogs from Forty Mile, and sold at frorn.fpr-7 ty to sixty dollars for a fifty-pound sack. Beef was one to,two. dollars a pound. Mining tools were scarce also, shovels bringing seventeen and eighteen dollars each. But wages wore proportionately high���������one dollar and a half to two dollars an hour for common labor, and often not to be had at that price. The price of wages corresponded to the opportunities afforded by prospecting.. The first hole to bo put down by burning is credited to Skookum Jim. Pagps could be filled with the finds that day by day were made on those claims that were worked that winter. ,The personage-not unknown to fame, " Swiftwa- ter Bill," with William Leggett and six others, took a lease, or lay, of 13 El Dorado. Seven holes were put down before the pay was struck, though many think there was pay in one'of the first holes, and that they filled it up. Att any rate, they asked the price���������545.000���������bought the claim, paid ������10,000 down, pu' >"n a rockor, and paid for tbe claim in six weeks. On account of the distance to Forty Mile, sixty days were allowed in which to record. Any claims not recorded within the sixty days were open for relocation. There were several such claims, left vacant by men who considered them no good, and recorded elsewhere. Such a claim was No. 40 above on Bonanza. It was. known to a large number that the claim was open, and a Mounted Policeman was there, with watch in hand to announce when exactly twelve o'clock midnight came. IT WAS IN JANUARY. There were several parties on foot, and two men who had dog outfits, Promptly at twelve o'clock all hands staked and started. Lereaux and a companion, Vaugh.in, ran to No. 48 above, where ono team was waiting. Lowerie, the other dog-man. put down (he trail on the run for Dawson, where an Indian with five or- six dogs was in waiting. Lereaux had the same number. At' Dawson they were not far apart. The, men both had good dogs. But dogs are poor things to race with, as every one knows. A dog has no ambition to pass ahead like a horse; he prefers to follow. Besides, when the trail is narrow, it is hard for one team to pass another. How they did manage to pass each other at all is a marvel, but it happened that every time they passed a cabin the leading team insisted on turning out, whereupon, tho hind (earn would seize the opportunity and dash by. It was a gr.cnt advantage to have a man run ahead of (he dogs. When they reached Forty Mile, Lowerie and the Tndirm were ahead. The recorder's office was across the creek, at Fort. Cudahy. Thc Indian did not know this, or else tlw dogs determined to turn into Forty Mile. Lo-w- erie saw the mistake, jumped from his sleigh, and made for the recorder's office on the dead run, with Lereaux just with him. Both men reached (he office at the same moment, and fell against the door. They were both so exhausted that for a moment they could not. say what they had come for. When they recovered sufficient breath to announce (heir business, Captain Constanline told them he would waif to see if (here were others behind ; and no one else coming, he divided the claim between them . A detachment of Mounted Police come up to Dawson In the late winter or spring, bringing the' record-books wilh them. The certificates of registry of that time wore in manuscript, there being no printed blanks available..-- A military reservation was set apart between La due's town site and the Klondike Raver. A rectangle of log houses, for barracks, was built on a piece of ground somewhat higher than the general level of the flat, and facing Lhe Yukon, and from a tall pole was set up tha union-jack in the red fLag of Great Britain.' The clean-up was already under way, and preparations being made for (ho summer ground-sluicing, when tho river broke, and the new-comers, who had received the news from friends inside, began to pour in. Wild scenes followed the clean-up. Men with never a penny to spare in their lives were SUDDENLY MADE RICH. like it before, nor was anything quite lo equal it the second year. The afore-mentioned "Swiftwater BUI," whose chief claims to the .attention of prosterity seems to have been the way he "blew" in money, spent ������''0,0i)0, and had to borrow $5,0110 tc go outside 'with. His claim was good for it, though. He quarrelled with a woman, and observing her order eggs in a restaurant, he bought up every egg in town���������at a cost of one dollar each. How much gold came out of the ground that first summer can never be known. Two and one-half millions is probably not far from the mark. The richness of the fifteen miles reported by Mr. Ogilvie was much exaggerated. The pans of dirt that were washed out gave him reason for believing, upon computation, ihat there might be actually four mil Hon dollars in7 each claim. But these were' not averages. Far', far from it: Even if they were, the enormous cost of working the richest, yet costliest, diggings ' in tho Yukon, was not taken into consideration ns it should have been. Clem-.'nts panned out. of four pans ?2fl00, the largest being reported at $775. Clarence Berry showed gold in bottles that he said represented, respectively, 35G0, ������230, and ������175 pans. There were many others like these. Of Crutches Thrown Away THE REMARKABLE CASE! OF A YOUNG GIRL IN WALKERTCSJ.

"Y���������s," lepliui Mrs. Greenhow in answer- to a question in regard to the reported cubic feet, equal to, say, 075,000 pans '��������� cure, "My daughter hasi been) cured; of dirt. Think what an average of a I believe Dr.' Williams'' Pink Pills dollar to tho pan, or even twenly-five cents, .would bo! On some claims tho streak is wider; on others; less. One hundred and thirty thousand dollars came out of tho Berry-Antone claims, C and the fraction. There were spots on Bonanza as rich as El Dorado, but not so even' and, regular. One thousand dollars to the foot is the top figure, on an average, for best of El Dorado, but the cost is one third for taking it out. _ The first year showed nuggets of all sizes up to one of $585, estimated at 1 Oz. or ������17, from 3G El Dorado. The fortunate ones started for civilization with their new wealth. Not all. Many remained to work their claims, and these, perhaps not less happy nor exultant, were not heard of outside in th; excitem?.nt that accompanied the breaking of the good news to tho world. The bulk of the gold, amounting to noi over ������l(2CO.O00, went out, of course, down river, to St. Michael, where waited the good steamer Portland of the N.A.T. & T. Company, crowded with friends and relatives of tho returning miners, who had sent word home of their coming. Others preferred tho up-river trip, and in parties of three and five took to their poling-boats, and it was some of these, and still others, fleeing for their lives, from the threatened famine, .that we ourselves met on our way in last year. The End. There was no real disorder, no shootings, no hold-ups, none of the things associated in the popular mind with a real live mining-camp. Something in the Yukon air discourages all that. It could not be the presence of the police, for (here are no police at Circle City, and a baker's dozen were tit Dawson. ' Gold flowed, and when, it would not flow it was sowed, literally sowed, broadcast over sawdust . floors, in drunken debauch, as if there was no end to the supply. Gold was panned out of the sawdust on the:floors of the saloons; whole saloonfuls of men would be asked up to drink, at half a dollar a drink. Sometimes orders were given to call' in the town, and then the bartender would go out into the street and call everybody, in, and they wouldhave to drink. Whenever one of the new millionairesywas backward in treating, which was not often, the crowd���������always-a good-natured one -���������-would forthwith pick him up by the legs and arms and swing him like a battering-ram against the side of the house until he cried out, "Enough," or I seen you first WOMEN YOU CAN'T SNUB. Do you know who is the most exasperating woman in the world ? woman you caji't snub. She is two kinds���������the meek and lowly sort, that when you smite her turns the other cheek, until you're positively too tired to deal hor another blow, and tho one whose self-importance is invulnerable as Achilles' heel. I met ono of the last kind early in the winter, says a writer. On general principles, I would avoid this woman, because she's skinny and her lace shines. Something is all wrong about, a skinny woman ; one way or another she's dangerous. When a skinny woman's face shines it means she's above using powder and is sure to make a parade, as a virtue, of the very wrong that is to account for the lack of flesh on her bones. I couldn't help the woman calling on me, and I returned her first call rather than run the risk of what she might do to me if .1 violated this, fundamental principle of right social action as prescribed' by ev,ery etiquette book in the land. When she called a second time she addressed mo an "my good woman." I can'' forgive almost anything hut being called a good woman���������only a menial or mediocrity past ���������10 is. properly termed good woman. I resolved to snub this creature, and I wanted her to know 1 was snubbing her'. I would never return her visit��������� never. And how do you suppose she lakes it ? Every time she sees mo she apologizes to me for not having returned my visit���������blots my intended neglect of hex out of mind and pat ionizes me with tho assumption lhat it is she who is neglecting me. Mark the wisdom! I have uttered. Never trifle with a skinny if her face shines. saved her life." Sho then gave tha circumstances of her daughter's illness- and cure as follows:��������� " Rebecca, is now seventeen years of age. Whon she was eleven she was attacked with tonsilitis and following this for the next three years she never had.a moment free from pain. She began to complain of pains all over her body but chiefly in her back. She became so weak and run down that she was unable to walk without the assistance of a crutch. Tho doctor said she was suffering from inflammatory, rheumatism brought on by ' an impoverished! condition of the system. He prescribed various remedies but nothing seemed to do her ' any good and finally we decided to try another doctor. He also pronounced ' the trouble, to be rheumatism but though he gave her bottle after bottle of medicine, she still continued to grow weaker. By the end of the second year sho was unable to leave the house and could only move from one room to another by tho use of her crutches. We were advised to get her an electric belt and did so, but though she wore it for a long time it did her no good whatever. During the third winter she became so bad that she had to be assisted into and out of bad, and could not even raise from a chair without assistance. ' We had given up all-, hope of her recovery when a Mr. John Allan, who had himself been similarly" afflicted, but who had been cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, advised us to give them a trial. We had tried so many things without success that we hesitated to accept hlsadvico, The but he insisted so strongly that we finally yielded. The first five boxea seemed to [reduce no change, but before sho had finished tho sixth box we were sure we could notice some improvement, and we felt encouraged tu continue their uso. From that on she continued (o improve steadilj, and by (ho time she had taken eighteen boxes every trace of' pain had left her. She threw away her crutches and soon forgot that she had ever needed them. For months past she has been filling a position in tho rattan factory and can work as well as anyone. Indeed I do not believe that there is to-day a healthier girl in Walkerton." Such is Mrs. Greemhow s story of (he euro of her daughter1 through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink'Pills after years of great suffering. We may add that a day or two later the writer called once more at the Greenhow abode in the hope of seeing the young lady herself This time she was at home and she came into the room. She presented an appearance of the most perfect health. She repeated the story of her sufferings in .substantially the same terms as her'mother had/done, and, ' like, her mother .'gives all the credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 1 ��������� Itheumatism, sciatic, neuralgia, partial- paralysis, locomotor.'., ataxia, ���������' nervous headache, /-'nervous' prsotra- , tion. and diseases/ depending upon humors'in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc.,- all disappear before a fair treatment' with Br.

A QUEEN'S GENEROSITY.

An open-air life is the key-note of sanitorium treatment. The patient instead of being kept in a carefully- warmed room ventilated from other parts of the house, according to the popular notions of old, lives in -the open air from morning to night, at all ; seasons and in all weathers. Lack', of fresh air is the greatest predisposing cause of consumption; fresh! air iz the . most potent means of restoring him to health. iv������ NEVER! :.. -. .-, ���������: She���������If I were to dip you would never get another wife like me.

An ordinary pie, upper and under crust, with a layer of. fruit between, Is not especially tempting, but a deep ���������oval dish heaped with thinly-sliced apples, or filled with juicy fruit and topped with a thin brown crust, is quite another story. If tho pastry maker of tho family will but make up her mind to reverse the old rules for producing light pastry and actually use. boiling instead of ice water, pie ncied no longer be forbidden even to those with delicate digestions. Tho pastry made in this way is not "puffy,' for it is the hard flakes of cold butter that cause '.he tempting "puff that is SO"indigestible. It is, however beautifully light ,and tho hot water seems to transform the short-" ening' Rind rob it of its usual ill- effects. . , ' To make, proceed as follows: Sift a scant pint of flour with quarter of a teaspoonful each of baking powder and salt. Stir ' two large teaspoon- fuls of lard into a teacup of boiling water, and while still boiling hot use this to stir the flour into a dough of the right consistency to roll out easily. It is well to use the water a litt/e at a time, as flour differs, and it may not all be needed. Roll out thin and bake in a rather quick oven. Left-over veal cutlet, chicken or game prepared as follows is very apprizing, both in appearance and flavor: Cut the meat into neat bits and brush these singly with'warm butter, cook for ten minutes in a quick oven after spreading the whole with a paste made by mixing together a teaspoonful each of French and English Mustard, two tablespoonfuls of chutney, chopped fine, salt, cayenne and black pepper to taste and half a lemon squeezed ���������over the top. Dress some chopped celery or shredded lettuce with a French dressing, place this, mound- shaped, in the centre of a dish on a paper-lace mat, and put tho meat around it. Raw cabbage sliced thinly with a sharp knife may be used for tho oenfre. When parts of fowl are left over remove the meat from tho bones, oover them with cold salted water and simmer until all the "good' is extracted. Reject meat and gristle, then pound the moat in a mortar (or its substitute), afterward mix wrell with a teacupful of boiled rice, add a tablespoonful of melted butter, pepper and salt to taste and half a tea- cupful of the stock procured from the bones. Rub the mixture through a hair sieve, then ad'd tho well-beaten yolks of four eggs and lastly the stiffened- whites of two. Bake about fifteen, minutes in small paper cases. The oven must be moderate, as if for custard. Many nice i economical little side dishes require a mortar and hair sieve, The cool months are the special time for relishes, and the wise home caterer will arm herself with these &nd like appliances for tho proper making of these dainties. Another little hint toward the accomplishment ., of sightly and healthful frying is to remember that a well- beaten egg, to which is added a tablespoonful of milk and a pinch of salt, will be worth the slight extra trouble and expense. This, with dried and sifted bread crubs made from stale bits, together with properly boiling fat, will insure, even for cold porridge, the magical "golden brown.' Unless the family is very large an egg will do twice. Never > wake a child unless absolutely necessary. Good sleep is a necessity if health and growth are to be maintained. A healthy normal baby will sleep IS out of 24 hours, which gradually diminishes until at two years 15 out of 24 hours will suffice. This amount' of sleep is gradually reduced until at 15 y.ears old 11 out of the 24 should be spent in bed. The midday nap for babies is most desirable. At this time they should be entirely undressed and put to bed. After the fourth or fiftn year children will not sleep in the daytime. In regard to a child's bed, a good spring bed, a hair mattress and blankets not .too heavy should be provided. A feather bed should never be permitted, only when a child is exceptionally delicate and difficult to keep warm. Ofherwsie it is too heating. Children should be put to sleep in a comfortable room, not too warm. If possible, they should always sleep by themselves and never in any case with a sick person. CRUSADE AGAINST CRADLES. "The hand that rocks the cradle is tho hand that rules the world" was a very pretty sentiment in its day. Even now orators who are not quite up to date on the ethics of "child culture" do q little along this line. They don't know that well-regulated mothers have started a crusado against cradle rocking, aud that there is a stigma on the hand which persists in jogging the baby. Apparently the electricians did not know this, either, for they havo invented a cradle which can be rocked by electricity. All the fond mother has to do is to' put the plug in the switchboard, and the cradle will rock until the baby grows up and pullB the plug out himself, if some one doesn't do it, before that. Consequently, the prospects are that if the cradles of the world do go swinging the hand that rocks them will be that of tho electrician. Iii, that case, may bo thc hand that rocks the cradle will continue to be the one that rules the world, but there will scarcely be so much sentiment about it. JUDICIOUS LETTING ALONE. In these progressive days a woman must mingle in and with the,-world about her, the world of culture and enjoyment, in order to bring up her children as they ought to be, and a3 they can be brought up only by a patient and judicious cultured mother. It is the over-conscious mother, ' who often fails with her children whom she loves so tenderly, while the "happy-go-lucky" mother lurns out at maturity a flock of sons and daughters that' help the world along in all ways. Thero is such a thing as a judicious letting alono of children ; and while there should be no lack of discipline back of this, there must be some real freedom for every child. 1 Agricultural! KEEPING- MILK CANS CLEAN. There is serious trouble in every creamery in the land, over certain of the patrons not keeping their nrlk cons clean. Tho difficulty is largely because the patron does not understand the necessity of a clean can. Ho has never made any special study of tills point, and thero is no reason why he should know all there is to bo known on this subject. But in such a case, ho ought to be willing to take some other man's word for it, who does know, und because he will not do this is the cause of all (the lost, aud trouble that ensues. Farmers complain that their skim milk sours too quickly after leaving the creamery In the dry soil there are frequent changes from wot to dry, by which more air is brought in contact with the wood and this introduces the germs of decay. In an always wet soil the water is probably stagnant and contains little air. Oxygen is necessary to ail decomposition. An old farmer who had owned both sandy farms and those that had a clay subsoil once told us'that posts on the sand had lo be removed more than twice on clay subsoil. PARSNIPS FOR COWS. There is no better root for cows than the parsnip. It has tho advantage that part of tlio crop: may, if need be,1 ,be wintered in the ground whore it has grown. The parsnip, unlike the beet, makes a rich milk. It is equal to tho carrot in this respect, and undoubtedly, like that root, helps to color winter butter. Parshilps are a favorite winter /feed of Jersey and Guernsey farmers, who by Us uso havo been ablo to breed cows whose high butter color If every patron would! has become hereditary in these breeds SUGGESTIONS TO HOUSEKEEPERS Never allow any one to pry up the edge of the cap of a fruit can in order to open it. It will be next to impossible to make the cap fit properly next time you want to use it.. Get hold of the rubber and pull it out. Rubbers are cheaper than cans. To dip the kitchen broom daily into scalding water is said to lengthen its life remarkably. Kerosono oil will cleau zinc bettor than almost anything else. Put a. tew drops on a flannel cloth and rub well. Don't throw water in which you have wushed articles cleaned with kerosene into galvanized iron pails. The chemical combination is malodorous and destructive. Bjans next to milk, according to Dr. J. Eastman, of Indianapolis, come nearest to nourishing each and every part of the entire human system, and no one part in particular more . than another, tie adds: "The pills which have been taken to relieve conditions resulting from lack of proper diet and exercise, would, if showered from the skies, maintain a hailstorm over this country for days. ; Au underdone boiled potato, says a writer on.hygienic topics, is about as indigestible a food as one can take into the stomach. The unruptured starch cells are penetrated with great difficulty by the digestive fluids, but when thoroughly cooked, potatoes are not difficult of digestion. A baked potato is as a rule more digestible than a boiled one. Persons who are troubled with indigestion or dyspepsia may, however, find potatoes very harmful, since they ferment very easily. HONEST TRAINING. The mother who sees to it that her young sons and daughters repay as promptly as possible, every penny thoy borrow from each other; sees that thoy never meddle with the contents of each' others' shelves and drawers, sees, in short, that they repudiate = all idea of a community of clothes, books and tops, is likely to have, in after years, the satisfaction of knowing that she is the mother of scrupulously honest men and women. thoroughly clean and scald his cans wilh boiling hot water, before he puts bis milk into thein, io bring to the creamery, his milk would be iu much better condition to keep to start with. , Then if he would do the same thing, aud add to it, scouring 'ihe seams with a brush after the skim milk is emptied froin'Iheui, che can would/ be in much better shape to receive tho fresh milk at'the next milking. It is evident ihat a great many X>atrons aud their wives do not really know what it menus ia clean a caii so it can safely hold milk, and not taint it. Experiments have shown that milk stored in sterilized cans will keep nearly twice as long, as- when kept in cans' washed in the ordinary way. To clean1 a can thoroughly, or free it from germs, it must be scrubbed, then scalded out with boiling water, or, better suil, use live steam under pressure.

If dairy houses aire supplied with a boiler, it can easily he manageicl to turn cans over a jet of steam having* a pressure of 15 or 20 pounds. After steaming, cans should be set bottom side up, as bacteria tend to move downward. Thei-o axe patent "milk can washers" on tho market which are run by power, but fox the ordinary dairyman hand brushes will be found just as effectual and economical. The ideal way to be sure of having clean milk, would be for the patron' to have two sets of cans, one for -the fresh in.Uk, and the other for taking home the skim milk. Then when he empties iho fresh milk cans have them thoroughly i-lea'iied and steamed at the creamery, ruU at the same time have the skim milk -van cleaned and other- No doubt the parsnip feeding is in part responsible for the color of Jersey butter. NELSON BEHIND THE SCENES. Incidents in Ills Life ICeealled S>y a I rlends Oanghtcr. My facher always spoke c~. Lord Nelson as having a singular power of attaching all under his command to himself, from the highest official to the lowest cabin boy serving under his flag, says a writer iu Blackwood's Magazine. Lord Nelson's sense of religion was sincere and strong. He brought it with him into his profession, and it never left him. My father, who knew him intimately said: " Though it " (his religious ��������� feeling) " did not keep him from the great error of his life, it ought to be remembered that few were ever so strongly tempted, and I believe that had Nelson's home been made to him what a wife of good tempur and judgment would have mude it, he never would have forsaken it." A great cause of quarrel aud dissension between Lord and Lady Nehaon was ''he latter's son by a former marriage who was not a satisfactory person from Lord Kelson's point of view. When. Lord Nelson was commanding the Mediterranean fleet, and was lying oft the Spanish coast, the captains of two Sxxinisn frigates just arrived from America, sent io entreat an audience of him, merely to give tiiemselves the gratification of seeing a person whom lhey considered to bo the greatest seaman in the world Capt. Hardy took their request io Lord Nelson and urged him to comply wilh it.

Londoners who devote any attention at all to the subject have always considered lhat Parisians are tho best- catered-for people in the world, says a ��������� London letter. Hitherto Paris has been looked upon as the only place where cookery is raised,to a very fine art. All the great chefs on London and tho vast majority of the waiters come from the French capital; therefore it is not to be wondered at that the impression prevails here that cookery is very serious and important business on the other side of the Channel. But it is all a mistake. The culinary art is declining rapidly in Paris. Several great authorities on the subject, who would like to think otherwise, declare that Frenchmen no longer en- , courage superior cooking. The gourmet has passed out of exislence. Life in these days offers so many diversions that the gratification of the palate is no longer au absorbing pursuit. Superior cookery fails to arouse interest, and people accept what is placed before them to eat, either ignorant of or indifferent to its merits or defects. ��������� COOKS COMPLAIN. At a conference of Paris chefs, the cooks complained that people no longer know how to eat. The impulse is ��������� to complete the function in tho briefest time, to get away from it, instead of prolonging gastronomic enjoyment to its limits. The chef of ono of the great bankers of Europe, in speaking of the haste with which meals are eaten in these times, said that the daily .dinner of his employer consisted of fifteen cours- ' es, and lhat it was consumed in forty minutes, or at an average of two and two-third minutes for each course. r Five o'clock toa is another foe that the cooks of Paris look upon as most formidable. At these functions cold confections, wines, liqueurs, cakes, bonbons, and chocolates aro served. They como within tho domain of the confectioner. They wreck the appetite so completely that the chef has his concoctions returned to him from the late '��������� dinner almost untouched. This is ��������� another blow to Gallic culinary pride. Altogether (he chefs of Paris consider tha( the cookery in France has sunk into a lethargy from which it cannot be revived. The foremost artists are quitting their native land for England, where thoy are assured of large pecuniary reward. .POINTED PARAGRAPHS. a pawnbroker wise steamed boXore being filled with i is there to sue in an old -withered fel- RABBITS IN AUSTRALIA. to England for . SLEEP FOR CHILDREN. In a series of parlor talks given to young mothers by a skilled physician a number of praotical suggestions were laid down regarding tao sleep ueces- lary for infants and growing cmctren. Xoiv Frozen and Scut 1'ood. The new development in the status of the Australian rabbit question is likely to have far-reaching results. In laic years the keeping down of the rabbits has been to a great, extent dependent on the activity of the professional rabbit-trappers of the country, who generally work in pairs, traveling with a pony cart, a tent, and other requisites for camping out. These men sell the rabbits to regular buyers, tho price varying from twopence to sixpence a pair. Where rabbits are numerous the men make good wages. Thoir income is supplemented in various ways ; they sometimes catch native cats, or tame cats, turned out orgi- n'ally to prey upon the rabbits���������and thoy makt a fair profit by selling the skins singly, or after making rugs of them. It ia, however, not difficult to see that the trappers would not be likely to exterminate the rabbit, as they would be putting an end to their own livelihood, and the land-owners, under pressure of the law, looked about for. other methods. They found poison the; inost c.'?,i.'tual, and would run a plow furrow through their paddocks, and spread ut tho bottom poisoned wheat, oats, bran, carrots or apples. There was, however, from the outset, a strong feeling against poison on account of its danger to poultry, live stock and wild birds. But within tho last year the problem appears to have been solved. The solution of tlie Australian rabbit difficulty is to turn the rabbits into money. Already they are freozing the rabbits and sending them 'to England for food. The export last year amounted in value to about ������400,- 000; this year it is expected to reach ������650,000. The undertaking is under government supervision. It is suggested that the time may soon arrive when rabbit' farms will be taken up, and as much attention paid to the proper breeding of rabbits as is now given to' (sheep. .,('���������' skim milk The creamery . always has the hot water and steam, and it could easily fix up a can cleaning place, in addi- help the creamery to get sweet, pure tion. This method would greatly milk and help the farmer to longer keep his skim milk sweet. , I THE ANIMALS IN DEMAND. The partners in one of the leading firms of butchers in Llandudno, in Wales, have just published an interesting circular in which they give prominence to the announcement that the beast which is at present in most diemand, aud for which they are pie- paxed to give the highest price, is the small, compactly made animal, which carries a thick covering of flesh on the best parts, and yields uicely-m.ir- bled beef���������that is beef in which the ���������lean and tho fat are uniformly intermixed. The demand for ov^er-fed cattle of all sizes has, they say, become a thing of the past; the big cattle will have to follow. The value of fat cattle will, they eonlend, bo regulated in the future by their size and thickness. The best traders require the tmallest cattle lhey can get, provided 'they possess the necessary thickness of nutritious, lean flesh, covered with a reasonable amount of fat. Cattle of this description, weighing in carcass GOO or 85!> lbs., command the largest prices, while similar cattle, weighing 750 to 000 lbs., come second. low like myself V he ordered that they be admitted. . Lord Nelson always wore short breeches and silk stockings, and at that moment his legs were bound up at tho knees and a utiles with pieces of brown papor, soaked in vinegar, and tied on with red tape. This had been done to allay the irritation arising from mosquito bites. Quite forgetting his attire and the extraordinary appearance which it presented, Lord Nelson went on deck and conducted tho interview with the Spanish 'caj>iains with such perfect courtesy that his singular appearance was quite obliterated by the charm of his manner, and the Spaniards left the ship wilh their high opinion of him thoroughly confirmed. Ho was very peevish about trifles, and would sometimes say to Capt. Hardy: "Hardy, it is very hard that I cannot have my breakfast punctually when 1 order ill" KILLING A WEED. It does noi pjy to make any false motions in hoeing, especially if killing weeds is the object. Above all do not either cut off the leaves of a weed or allow others to do so before up-rooting it if you want to kill it. We had a hired man ouce who persisted in spite of all we could tell him iu striking twice with his hoe to destroy a weed. With his first blow he struck tho weed, just at the surface of the ground, cutting off all the top, Thou he struck deeper, and turned up the root. Invariably-if a rain or cloudy weather came that weed grew. It was simply transplanted under the best conditions for growing, much root and little top. We lot the man go after a few days trial to reform him,' but without effect. He was too| stupid to know how to handle a hoe.

POSTS IN SANDY SOIL. ��������� There ia great difference in the durability of different kinds of posts and also in the soil where they are placed.

A Girl llliii Rreiths Windows mid Thru liaises the !;ur������lnr Cry. ' An odd case of hysteria is reported from Abilene, Mo. A lady of the town has been entertaining her niece, a young woman from another town, and ever since the arrival of the girl tho house has been made the target of peepers and burglars. In the evening beforo the family had gone to bed theie would be a crash ot glass and then the young worn in would come flying iu terror to her auni with the story that she had seen the face of a man at the window and when ho found that' he was observed, he broke the window and ran. After windows had been broken all over tho house, officers were set to watch'for several nights. At last one officer, brighter than (he rest, discovered that all tho glass broken from a window fell outward, showing tliat it must have been struck from the inside. A watch was then kept on the girl, and she was soon caught in the act of breaking a window, after which she ran screaming to her aunt with the same old story about a man. JHer strange performance is accounted for on, the theory of a hysterical condition in. which she "sees things"- and then does things unconsciously. '''-.- Bettor borrow from than from a friend.

There is a current opinion that ivy has a tendency to rot the thing to which it clings. This is true of a large number of other climbing plants, but not of ivy, for it renders the walls of almost every house to which it clings entirely free from damp wood, brick or stone for its owu sustenance.
