The Wonderful and Miller Creek Companies Express Themselves Through Manager Davis. Manager Davis, of the Wonderful and Miller Creek mines, interviewed in Spokane the other day said : '"The mines will probably be shut down for a time. I expect to sut down the Miller Creek- and Wonderful with others until some agreement is reached so we may know what to depend upon. This eight-hour law was not asked for by the miners nor the mine owners. It was passed at the request oi some Occur d'Aleno agitators, who are up in that country. Any reasonable miner would prefer to work ten hours per clay and get $3.50, to working eight and receiving S3. I would rather pay thc 10-hour scale than the lower one. Of ail the men m my employ, I do not think there is one who ia in favor of the new eight-hour regulation.' "Concerning the Wonderful and.Miller Creek, Mr. Davis reports development proceeding steadily. -"The crosscut tunnel on the Miller'Creek is in about 270 feet and making good headway toward the vein. The upper tunnel on the vein has passed through ore continuously for 146 feet to where a break was encountered, and, alter some development there, the ore body was again Iound and is being followed. On the Wonderful work has stopped at the point where the cached ore was recently found, it being so near tne surface that water comes in too lreely to permit of more.work there until thc spring thaw is-over. The cross-cut tunnel on the Wonderful is in 575 feet, and a raise is being made on a stringer of galena in order to determine tho stn<e oi the vein fronf which stringer is supposed to lead.'" the Attempted Suicide. "The celebrated Oriental, in the bourse of an interview, said he had oeen delighted with what ho had seen cf Canada. The country and ils climate had been a revelation to tho members of his party.- Its vast area and illimitable resources had impressed them'to a very great extent, as had, also, the very apparent prosperity of its people. Especially interesting hud been their visit to the House of Com- mous at Ottawa. ���������. '���������In referring to Chinese affairs, Kang Yu Wei alluded to thc recent depositions of the Emperor. 'It was all nonsense', ho said, 'to suppose that there was any danger of thc Emperor losing his life. The Dowager Empress might wish the Emperor out of tho way, but she dare not go so far as to suggest the idea of assassination. The Emperor, while nominally a prisoner, was yet accorded a large amount of liberty, and was to go and come as he wished. He was always under the surveillance ofthe Imperial Guard, however.' "With regard to thc present Empress, the speaker, described her as a woman of indomitable will, and one who had given to" the world many tokens that *he really desired to promote the well-being of her subjects. "With regard to thc object of his visit to England. Kang Yu Wei said that ho represented the Liberty party in China, and that in going to England ho was but following the expressed wishes of /that party, the,members of ivhich desired to cultivate friendly relations with England. Concerning tlie reforms which he hoped to seeure in China, His Excellency said that they included the abolition of the mandarin system, the building of railways, thc establishment of a free press, thc cultivation of Furopean arts and sciences, and the inauguration of thc open-door palioy. .

A Large Attendance of Sports and Pleas- uie-Seckers From Sandon and Other Slocan Points. Good News From Ainsworts. "Doc" Gle.son, an old timer, run down in "mind, body and estate," tried ' to rid the world of his presence on Thursday morning. He was stopping at the Denver hotel, and in his condition, he concluded that the best thing be could do for himself and others was to make an attempt to step into the great unknown, Where landlords would not be looking for board Hills. He made several attempts to cut thc main artery in his left arm, when he was discovered bleeding profusely by some of the inmates of the house. Dr. Power and the police were at once called. Thc Doctor dressed the wounds temporarily until the man was placed in the hospital, which now, by contract, takes charge ot'i all such cases.' The Dr. says it Gleeson had cut a few inches lower on thc arm he would have made a complete job of it. A question of payment to Dr. Power conies up. The city has made a con tract with the hospital to take charge of all pauper cases; but Dr. Power, who has not the hospital work, was called in, and saw that if he did not act promptly death would result. The general public will say the Dr. should be paid for that yisit. ��������� He did not go of his own choice, but merely because he was called, and, 'undoubtedly, by going promptly he'saved a life. Of course the hospital charge will be less than if they had taken charge of the patient at ,first. The public would have thought it hard if tne Dr. had not gone and the man died in consequence, ��������� Finnk Fitch, of Ainsworth, who is a miner and mine owner as well, was m Nelson a few days ago. ��������� Ho confirms the information received by the Tribune that there will be no trouble in Ainsworth over the introduction of tho eight-hour Jaw. For some time past the rate of wages for miners employed in thc woiking mines of the camp has been $3 for ten-hour shifts, and there is no suggestion of any reduction. The most encouraging news which has been received in Ainsworth for some time has been the information that Maxwell Stevenson, the owner ol the Highlander property, had decided to run a 2000-foot tunnel upon it. It is currently reported that Stevenson has secured control ot the Black Diamond and Little Donald,' and that the proposed tunnel will tap the Black Diamond ledge. The tunnel will give a depth of close upon 1000 leet on the Highlander vein and a vortical depth of 800 feet. 'Die Highlander ore is oi a high grade, and the prospect of having the same developed id very gratifying to the people ol Ainsworth. The tunnel will be driven by power, and the compressor plant is now being received at the wharf landing. As advertised, the train. chartered by tho Miners'Union of Sandon bound for Slocan Lake at Rosebery, left the deoot at 6:45sharp. The miners lined up in front of their hall and marched to the station led by the Brass Band, which had its fir3t experience, as a band,' in marching. The band boys looked well in their,.new uniforms (though not tho neatest things in the world in the clothing lino) and sus- tnined their reputation as a ffood, all- round nma'eur band. The C.P.R. had not the best of accommodation to offer, owing to having to run two trains, but ai they did their best and made tasty decorations of the trains thc sterner sex did not. kick at having to ride a ft-w miles in box cars. At ftosebory thrcommodious steamer "Slocan" was waiting to convey tho excursionists to Silverton, eisrht miles down the beautiful, mountain-begirt. Slocan Luke. , Although -there was a rival-celebration at New Denver, none left the boat at that point; tho regular from Sandon was. though, a special for those disposed to spend the dav with the Denverites. _ On arrival at Silverton the first tn' attract the eye urns tho very pretty arch of evergreens at tho street end oY the wharf, bearing the mottors "Welcome" and "Come Asrain," and thc second attraction w,is the cleanly and well-graded condition of tho wide main street. Across I :io st.'oct at intervals were several streamers of the "Red. White and Blue," giving the little mining town, whose citizens were all astir for a, big day, a gala appearance. A procession was again formed and led up to the hotels of Messrs. Brandon Bros., Thorburn and Bowes, where they dispersed after some music by the band. Thc first on the programme was a football match between Silver- Ymir Jottings. About 12 tqjis of concentrates are coming down daily from the Ymir mill now, and a largo pile is being accumutated at the depot. Tho crude smelting ore is also to be shipped at the rate of about 50 tons per week. ' A wonderful strike has been made in thc tunnel of thc Spotted Horse claim owned by Hank Noll, says the Spokesman-Review. At about 75 feet from the mouth of the tunnel a rich chute of free milling ore, carrying considerable visible gold, was disclosed, An assay from a picked specimen gave a return of ������10.314.33 in gold per ton, while an average sample of tho rich strike gave $202.56. Tho ledge varies in width from about 12 inches to about two feet six inches. The assay mentioned above, although of course taken from a picked sample containing visible chunks of gold, is the highest over taken in this vicinity. T. A Helm, of the Rio Grande Gold Mining Company, was in Nelson this week and reports good progress on the property owned by his company near Ymir. This property consists of four claims on Porcupine creek. A fine ledge of concentrating ore, seven feet wide, has been uncovered and followed by a tunnel now in 110 feet. Tho ore consists of iron pyrites and galena in a white quartz matrix. Another tunnel has been driven in 10-4 feet, crossing the first lead, and a cross-cut is bbing, driven from the breast of this lead to tap a fine chute of ore in .on- other ledge, which has been disclosed inn the shaft sunk to tho depth of 25 leet. A recent assay from this shaft gave SCO in all values, $30 being in gold and tlie other hnlf in silver and load. Besides those 'two ledges a further ledge of free milling .quartz has been discovered and work had just been started upon it.���������Nelson Miner. <J quoted at 01c in New Bar silver ii Yoik. The Bosun has hired some miners at S3.00 for the short day. A strike of 3 inches of good, clean ore was made last week by John Potter on the'Belf'ast property, near the Pal-- mita. Mr. Davis, manager of the Wonderful group, will shortly work the Heather Bell���������a group of three claims next to the Palmita. The Fairy Queen, on Ten Mile (Slocan Lake), is likely to be bought by- Toronto parties. Important new finds have been made on the Lone Star and the Queen Fraction at Silverton. They are, both galena properties. Cliff Sealc left Thursday morning for the Fort Steele country, to be joined at Nelson by C. M. Wilson, M.E., to look ��������� over some properties there in view of purchase by the new Payne Mining Compauy, of Montreal. Some seven or eight cars of machinery hare arrived for the Ruth concentrator. ' As the mines at Occur d'Alenos have started up at S3 50 per day, a rush will likely be made by man} of the beat miners for that district. William Rockefeller, William G. Rockefeller,, H. H. Rogers and A. C. Burrage have been elected trustees of thc A naconda Copper Company. They represent the Standard Oil Company's interest in the corporation. Ground has been bioken for the, Ruth concentrator and already there are many men at work levelling the foundation. Several cars of material have arrived from the foundries and machine shops, so there will be no delay in the work. The Work About Completed. Thc Koitenay Valley railwaw bridge across'the Kootenay river is completed and the draw was swung for thc first time Thursday last. Tho draw will, however, remain open until the road is ready forl use. Four sub-contractors have already completed their grading work .and are moving their grading material away. All grading'will practically be completed by July 1st, unless the' Kootenay riyer should over- How its banks and remove a great deal of the filling.. ton and Sandon, resulting .in a 5 to 0 defeat for the visitors. At tho close of the game an adjournment was made to the wharf to meet the boat returning from Slocan City, with a reinforcement of visitors and the band from the lake city, which latter very ma'cr- ially aided iu enlivening the days' proceedings. The sports were all held on the main street so that the visitors did not have, as is usual, a wearying time tramping around, hut oould mostly enjoy tho clay seated on the balconies of the various hotels. Silverton people seem to have to happy faculty of knowing how to treat visitors, as'many expressed themselves on their return. A slight squall came up shortly before G p.m., the time for the return"for Sandon, which slightly disturbed the even tenor of events making the day's closing rather unceremonious. Alter a short delay thc-boat pulled out carrying lioine a well-pleased lot of holiday ers. We understand that New Denver j had also a successful day of sports I with a good attendance of visitors, mostly'from Nelson. The following arc the prize winners at Silverton as frir as obtained at thc time: ' COMMUNICATION. The Northern Light mineral claim on l^orty Nine creek is to be sold by the sheriif for -:840 and costs. One Wright owned it and owed wages to this amount when ho sold to the Rain Prospects Gold Mining Co. They p������iid over the money to Wright but he failed to pay the men, and they are selling under a lein. A CHINESE REFORMER. Kang Yu Wei, a Notable Chinaman, and Party in Montreal. The Montreal Star gives the following on the visit of some distinguished '. Chinese in that city, a short time ago : "One of the most notable of Chinese reformers of .the present day arrived in the city last night in the person of His Excellency Kang Yung Wei, the friend of, and, for a short time, foreign adviser to, the Emperor of China. He was accompanied by Claude Ley Kum, foreign secretary; Loo Gee Wing, Chinese secretary and interpreter, and Mr. J. H. Hefferman, of the Canadian Mounted Police. "Kang Y Wei is, on his way to London, where he will discuss matters of interest to China and the British Empire with the Marquis of Salisbury. , The Fhzsimmons-Jeflnes Fight. New York, May 23.���������Thc Fitzsim- mons-Jeffries fight will take place on the night ���������instead ofthe afteruonn of June 9th. The direetbrs of'the Coney Island Sporting Club held a meeting last night and decided on this change. Mr. Brady said titty-three boxes had been sold, tho total sum paid for them being ������7,950. Frank Dwyer received #5,000 to bet for thejwesterners on Fitz- siriimons at odds of 8 to 5. ' INFLAMMATORY "RHEUMATISM. Mrs. W. J. Wads worth, Toronto Junction, says :...'

To tho Editor of the "Mining Review : Dear Sir,���������That tho electors of the Slocan Riding may not take for truth low insinuatipns and rumor industriously spread by people who would be much better employed in attending to their own business, instead of talking about matters they ,-ire igiioiani, of; is my excuse for trespassing upon your space. Referring to an article appearing in the Kootenaiau of May 18th, in which it quotes some insinuations and street rumor* as to what our member, Mr. Green, did at Sandon. I, as one who was there, wish to say that the meet ing. which Mr. Green attended by invitation, was neither secret nor semi- sccret. as for an hour or so previous to the meeting small ooys paraded' the town with bells announcing the meeting and inviting all miners, whether union or otherwise. The meeting was composed of union and non-union miners, business men,, and, in fact, some of the city fathers were there. Mr. Green, after hearing tlie views of the meeting on the eight-hour clause; Tlie Madison Sold. The Madison group of four claims, lying just south ofthe Last Chance, was sold on Wednesday to the Slocan Sovereign Mining Co., of Montreal, for ������20,000, and the most of thc money, if not all, h-.s been paid over. Mr. J. C. Eaton, the late owner, is a fortunate man. lie made one fortune out of the Whitewater and this is the secotid lucky hit in the Slocan. The Madison is sure to be a profitable mine and the new company have a, bargain. We understand that Mr. Warner is likely to continue as manager. CHURCH NOTES. told those assembled very distinctly that he would lay their views, as they had expressed them,; before the executive, but they were not necessarily his views. He said that the views of the mine owners had been laid before the cabinet and he would see that their views were put upon the same level. Mr. Greon also told the meeting that when the question first came up in the mining committee he opposed it, and that he afterwards in the House in common with all the other members present voted for it. He gave his reasons for his course in both cases which were quite satisfactory to those assembled. I am of the opinion that our member is quite competent to defend his course in the House, or upon the platforms of our constituency at anytime it becomes necessary, hut I cannot see him maligned without putting the publican possession of the facts.

'Beneath .��������� tho clear, dark skin, which,had been oiled and rubbed until it glistened like burnished copper,, and stretched like rubber, one could soo the play of tho powerful musoIes. ���������' " ������ Pembroke loaned ovor to Eviston. "Gad!" ho said' excitedly. "Look at the tallest chap. Look at thoso muscles over tho shoulders and in .Hie* back. If he had boon a,Trinity College mm last year, I rather think we'd h-ive won." "lies my', favorite," put in-; Carlington; "'I'll back him to see the dance through. I've seen him before; his name is White Eagle, and he s a fine Indian." .,.,���������.'���������' "They all look game," remarked Stirling; "they must be,, the pick of the tribe. The one with' the red brow- band looks wicked) though. I rather- hope tho torture will be a little too o , much for him." The; three Indians were moving noiselessly around the'/ring,, keeping perfoct time with one another as thev raised and lowered the foot with ��������� double blow on the ground, showi! their intense excitement only by thei flashing eyes aud tho quick, nervouo movement of their limbs. Six medicine-men arose slowly, two approaching each of the three Indians. They stood for a moment muttering some incantation, and then motioned the young Indians to.lie down on the ground. They, then stationed themselves on,.the right and the left; .of each, and began gently to rub the heaving, chests. It was like the oven; practised work of a good masseur, only there was no varying of the stroko or position. The spot on each breast that they kneaded and rubbed could not bo larger than a silver dollar. As they worked, the Indian with the tomr-tom began to boat again, but, very 'softly, and there ran ,a subdued, sympathetic, murmur through the crowd. .'From out on'the prairie one could hear now and then the short, fierce whinny of a bronco, and the sun beat down on the pine boughs more hotly than ever, and they gave forth a faint/refreshing odor. Captain Eviston turned uneasily to the women. . ��������� "You'll be "awfully sorry you came In about ' a minute," he remarked. "Perhaps you had better not look���������" lie might as well1 have spoken to alone walls, ffho eyes of tho girls were fastened on tho prostrate Indians *s though held there) by a magnet, i> and their breath came in quick, uneven gasps. They did not even hear him. So he turned again to look, and rs he did so ,(he saw the medicine men iraw from their bags,sharp little knives like scalpels, and make two parallel, incisions in eachi benumbed breast; Not a drop of blood issued from' the wounds, and the sinews thus laid bare wore drawn' out carefully , und skilfully, and short pieces of wood passed beneath them, to, each, end of which a lariat was tied. The medicine-men then took each Indian by the shoulders and. helped him to his ��������� feet. As the young Indians itood , upright, faoing the excited, restless throng, they gavo one trium- *phant, scornful look about, and then taoved ; forward until eachJ, had taken ap a position ' beneath! a cross-beam, wd about equally distant, from one another, So far they did not seem to be at all affected; by the torture, ox- eepl that the pupils, of their eyes had contracted to pin-points, and there was ������. peculiar rigidity about, their limbs. They were the picture of proud unconcern while the lariats'were being thrown, over the cross-beams and fastened there, and they put the Bhrill little whistles, .which they were to blow while they danced, to their mouths with as much indifference as though they had been cigarettes. When all was ready, and the medicine-men ,. had stepped back, suddenly ' the tomtoms burst but with, a terrific rattle; the young Indians began to dance . back and forth at the ends of their lariats,'.with long, sweeping lunges, as though they would quickly tear the sinews from thoir breasts;.tho whistles shrieked, the masses of Indians'broke Into a wild shouting, and the medicine-men, lifting up thoir hands, prayed aloud to the Great Manito. A sort of frenzy seemed to communicate its- self to every-Indian in lhe lodge. Their faces turned ashy, and thoir muscles quivered as if they were undergoing some intenso physical strain. Tho restless (heels boat, the ground in double throbs that shook the whole tepee. Tho. swarthy faces, which an hour before, had been only vacantly good-natured or sullen or stocial, were now full of passion and wildness. An Indian beside Bliss Pago sprang into the nlr as though some devil., within him had broken loose. Tho young girl shrank back faintly toward Pembroke, who was slightly behind her. The men had put the women in the center, and was trying to protect them, from, the crowd of Indians pressing in on all sides; but it was quite impossible to make them keep back of appeal to them in any way. ' "This is awful; it must be worse than a'prize-fight," the young girl said, wit a' an unsteady little smila at the Englishman. Pembroke smiled back sympathetically and looked over at his sisters j anxiously. Being English' girls, they were, taking things calmly, though there was' a hot spot of red in each cheek, and their blue eyes looked almost black from th'e intensity of their excitement. , i Suddenly the Indian " candidate" !nearest ttem dropped his whistle, and 'with a low groan fell forward on his face in a dead faint. H'is attendant medicine-men sprang forward, released the lariats, and pulling ' tho thongs from the sinews, spit upon his chost, rubbing tho wounds,/and murmuring incantations ovor him,- After a long time ho slowly opened his eyes. When full (kmsciiouBuoss returned to Mm and no realized that ho had failed in the ordeal, ho sprang to his feet in a frenzy of disappointment and rage. As his eyes fell upon the little group of white people opposite him, a'���������'wilder gleam of anger lighted , up his face, and pointing a shaking finger at them, he shrieked out some imprecation. As he staggered backward, tho medicinemen grappled with him and bore him panting and shouting from the ring. Captain Eviston turned to Doyle. " What did that' Indian say, Doyle?;/ he asked, quietly. .������������������'.',".���������'. Tho orderly was . lugging at his gloves and looking very uncomfortable. -.';';"���������,.".

"Stay by us and translate all thoy say," commanded the officer, calmly. Throughout 'this episode; the tom- 'oms and shoutings had not ceased for moment, nor had the other two danc- ->rs stopped an instant in their frantio attempts to break their sinews and so bo proclaimed "braves." They leaped and swung from side to side, keeping time with the beat of the: drum, while the musicians sang "The Song of the Brave:" I sing, L sing under, the center of the sky, Under tho center of the sky; Under the center of tho sky I sing, Under tho center of the sky; The birds of the bravo take flight around the sky, A flight around tho sky; The birds of the brave take a flight, tako a flight, The birds of tiio- brave tuke a flight. fixed scowlingly or threateningly upon him and his guests. There was a suppressed oxoiteinont and antagonism about them/ which would have been sufficiently unpleasant if he had been there with fifty good privates at his back. As it was, th'e absolute hopelessness of his situation made him perfectly cool. Pour men and an orderly with' seven womon to take caro of could not hope to contend successfully against five hundred maddened ��������� Indians. , While Yellow Wolf still lay moaning and struggling on the ground, an old chief seated1' near him, and who had heard what ho had said, arose, and spreading out his hands toward, him, began to speak soothingly, as if to a child. Captain Eviston recognized him as Pretty Feathers, one of tho friendliest and most sagacious of the Pei- gans. ( "My son, said the old man, softly, "arise;, ber comforted. Cease thy coin- plaints-^lhe complaints of a child who knows not how to take punishment. Why. shouldst thou think the Manito of the white man has intorforod with thy destiny f" His the Manito of the Indian never visited thee before with his displeasure V He turned to the rest of the Indians, who were listening, and raising,his voice, cried. '"Yellow Wolf has spoken words of foolishness in his anger. Let us forget them, as ho will forget them, and���������"significantly���������"as the white, man will forget them." _ There was a , murmur of disapprobation as he seated himself, but many of the Indians looked less aggressive, and many once moro turned their, attention to tho circle where the last Indian, White Eagle, still danced. He was al most spent, and lhe quavering, faint notes of his whistle told how little breath' and, life were still in him. His face was gray-white;1 and a light froth flecked his lips. His body was covered with1 blood and great drops of perspiration, and h'is lower limbs;'which Wad at first been unnaturally rigid, now bent and twisted and doubled under him as he leaped back and forth.',, It was evident th'at unless the sinews7 soon burst he would faint from pain and loss of blood, and all h'is agony would count for nothing. Suddenly a young and pretty squaw sprang up from th'e mass of Indian women crouching near the edge of the BRITISH MEDICAL FORTUNES. Thc spirits on high repeat my name, j circle and forcing liter way frantically Repeat my name; 'through them, rushed forward with a Tho spirits oa high, tho spirits on high, j terrible cry, and throwing herself Itepoat my name; First one sot of musicians would sing, and then another sot' woiild take up tho words, like the an iipJional chorus ot a cathedral choir, while Lhe two dancers swung staggeringly around the open space, now forward as if walking uphill, now sinking and slipping backward as .the earth reeled 'under.' thoir trembling limbs. Tho sweat was running down their rigid bodies like rain, and their sinews were pulling far out from tlio panting chests and snapping back again in a horrible way, as tho agony made them givo to the lariats- Miss Kenwood covered her face with her handkerchief and began lo cry softly.. .The men.moved restlessly and cast anxious glances at one another and the women. Stirling put an arm around his wife. "1 suppose it's impossible tp get out of this," he ventured. Captain Eviston shook his head. "Quite impossible," he returned grimly. '.".'���������' He had hardly spoken when, with a cry of mingled . fear and rage, the evil-looking Indian with, tho red brow- band bounded forward from the other sido of tho opening and held up the broken ends of his lariat.. The rope had parted���������-the worst medioine that could happen to an Indian. The medicino-inen, terror-stricken sank to their, knees but the young, brave stood up defiantly, although ho reeled from faintness. Staggering across the open space with his broken, lariat dragging after him, he paused on the edge of the circle, just below the little party of..whites, and turning his back to them, he began to harangue the Indians. Ho looked like some devil as he stood there, his wicked face bedaubed with paint and showing ghastly, oven under the red, with agony and Wild'rage, his bloodshot eyes rolling from side to side, his breast crimson with tho blood that now flowed freely from tho iaoerated flesh, and the quivering nostrils and upper lip telling even better than his words the wrath that alone.was keeping his trembling limbs from sinking under him. His voice, in spite of his faintness, was ! strong enough to make itself heard 'above the din by thoso nearest him.V "I Yellow Wolf, am brave and fearless," ho shouted; "I do hot fear death or any kind of torture; but who can prevail against evil i>owers, that come no ono knows whouoo ? Our medicinemen are powerful, and they have propitiated the Manito of the Indian, but they had not thought to propi- itato tho Manito of the white inan. Why is the white man here? Why is our lodge invaded, our dance made -public? Why aro tho children of tho White Mother per-, mitted to come thus among us 1 Have we lost all freedom, all courage?

Captain Eviston looked thoughtfully before bin a. moment, regretting most keenly, ttte feeling of delicacy which had prompted him to come unarmed to the dance. He had thought that such a course would appeal to tblo Indians. Unfortunately, they had apparently not noticed or appreciated th'at piece of refined sentiment.

(To bo Continued.) u A Few PlijHlctaii.s Aro ttlcli, Jiut Almost All or Them l>lu Poor; The large fortune left by Sir William Jenner has led to much writing in life lay press, but owing to imperfect, information as to the source of some of Sir'"William Jeriner's wealth much1 excellent moralizing has been made upon unsound deductions, says th-o Lancet. Sir William Jenner was for many years at the, top :bf the'inod- ical profession, h'aving risen there by his genius, and, having been maintained there by scientific acclamation every wh'it as much as by popular favor. During these years ho undoubtedly made a very largo-income,, but not an income that would have enabled him to save' such' a sum as ������375,000, and, as a matter of fact, a certain portion of his fortune was derived from trade and bequeathed to" him by a brother. But undoubtedly Sir William Jonnier earned a great sum of money by the practice of his profession and the fact may legitimately aol as a stimulus to young medical men to observe keenly and work '.hard'. That a few medical men have made large fortunet. is well known. For instance Sir Andrew Clark left ������203,- 070, Sir'Oicar Clay ion left ������1-10,740. Dr. Rhodes Armiiago left ������217,420, Dr. L. T. CumborbaLch loll ������107,000, Sir Richard yuain loft ������1������G,820, Mr. Henry Horslail left ������l(K>,7bO, , Dr. G. D. Longstaff left ������107,00:), Dr. Henry Dan- son left ������lx0,\190 and Dr. J. H1. Paul left ������100,0i>2. But all these lortunes several of which were certainly inherited and not made by professional practice, are thrown inLu tho.shade by tho estate of Sir William. Gull, wh./SO personalty was valued at ������314,023. Sir William Gull,. like Sir William Jenner, made an enormous professional income though fortunate investments, perhaps/ played tho part in swelling tho total of h'is fortune that family bequests played in th'e case of Sir William Jenner. The above names have been taken from lists compiled by th'e Success Must Follow THE FAIR USE OF DR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE. Tlint Is Ihe Experience or Mrs. Pjduoy . Urucc, of Descronlii, Who.Mad .Suffered lor .Many Years wllk Klieaiutilfj>ni and Oiiiirrli oftlio ISowelH. From the Tribune, Deseronto. Our attention was lately directed to tho wonderful cure effected upon a resident of Deseronto, which illustrates in a Very marked way the merits of that widely known health restorer "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.'* We refer to the cure of, Mrs^ Druce, wife , of Sidney Druce, caretaker. of tho High School building. Being desirous of giving our readers the,facts, a reporter of thd Tribune called at Mrs. Druce'a residence, arid is therefore enabled ��������� to" present our readers, with the following facts, which can be vouched for ,by manj neighbors and friends of the family. Mrs. Druco had from the early age of ten years been a sufferer fromi rheumatism and had endured an untold amount of suffering from' thfa dire disease; ; She had tried scores of different medicines to dispel the mal- 'ady but in vain. Doctors told her it was impossible to eradicate the disease from her system and she had at last ' become' resigned to the belief that rheumatism . was incurable. In addition' to rheumatism, about seven' years ago she began to suffer frcra catarrh of the bowels with its attendant headaches and depression of spirits. Tho pain of the rheumatism and constant headaches wore her out. The doctors prescribed opiates which only dulled the pain, but did not repel tho disease. -The two diseases continued to m.ike steady headway and at times she felt such pain that sho could not even allow her.husband to raise, or move her. The neighbors thought she would never get up again. ��������� All kinds of remedies were suggested and many of them tried, but all in vain. Providentially, as Mrs. Druce expressed it, the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills was " tmnntioned. It was not until the end of the second box that she realized any bonefii. She then began to realize that ihe was regaining strength. Bo- THE KAISER OBJECTS.- The Great Young Man of Germany, as they call the enterprising and pyrotechnic Kaiser, while poking his imperial finger into'every art and every science, still finds time, the court scandal mongers say, to pay strict attention to the wardrobe and toilet of tho Empress, his wife. Tho Empress is but human, and when she saw silver threads-making their appearance in' her hair she most naturally tried to defer the inevitable ^and dyed, it is said. Whether she put on too much, or whatever the reason was, certain it is that one morning the < poor Empress appeared at breakfast with stripes of doubtful green among her tresses. " You have put some rubbish on your head, Augusta,;' cried Wilhelm, with a great frown. " Where's the bottle V The Empress muttered a' few words and went on with' her breakfast, but the ruler of minds and bodies got up, rummaged ,his wife's dressing room, to the distress of the maids, who were busy putting things in order, and, observing that one of them tried to conceal a bottle, he snatched it from her and put it in his pocket. Nothing more was said on the subject to tho Empress but the Perfiimer-in-Ordinary to their Majesties lost his exalted patron, and poor Augusta's head remainod harle- quined for a month. The same fate befell a later importation 'from Paris, and at last the Empress, who detested a motley head as much as. the Kaisef does hair dye,,got anew preparation to blanch hor- hair an even color, and from that day the Empress appeared completely whito, and even poudree. Her fancy now, in which, however, she cannot always indulge, is to wear pure whito garments or pale gray ones, which suit her well, and make her look very picturesque. However, Wilholml loves pink, blue and groen, and sho must comply with his wishes and order colored dresses. Daily Telegraph and the Westminster | fore fib(i montioned this to others Gazette and cover a period extending j ber husband also observed the change, over the last ton years. On tho strength of them tho medical profession cannot be said to abound in pecuniary prizos. Only eleven persons, whether shining in the'front rank of the medioal profession, or engaged in ,ono of its notoriously lucrative branches, or blessed by accident with pecuniary advantages, have died during ten years in possession of moro ttor, ������100,000, while a first-class brewer's fortune would be expeoted to amount, to.inore: than tho aggregate to- tal of the eleven medioal fortunes or the brewer would be .accounted a comparative failure. We are not setting up a wail th'.it medical men do not make more money, but the fortune of Sir William Jenner or Sir Willaim Gull ought not to lead the public; to mistake the facts as to the average earnings of th'e medical profession. Tho profession in Great Britain numbers some 28,000 persons,'and although now and again one man dies rich' tho vast majority die otherwise. FINGER-PRINT. TESTS. .ODD FUPiNITUBE. Perhaps.tho oddest suit of furniture is owned by Joseph Berger, a hotel keeper in Budapest. : For many years he has made it his business to collect matchboxes from factories of various countries. His collection aggregates 4,001) boxes. H'o ordered a skilled cabinet maker to equip ti roorn with furniture made of these b:>:ces. . The outfit consists of, a writing .table with smoking apparatus, a firo screen, a cabinet, a chair and other smaller articles. Though the boxes are empty* they are adjusted so ingeniously that tho pieces are: fully as strong as the ordinary furniture. SHE HAS A HOBBY. A woman who has a perfect horror of handling dirty money asserts that she not only has all her silver washed, but her bills as well. They are put in a basin of luke-warm soapsuds, rubbed gently, and dried by pressing with a warm iron. In this way sho is always supplied with bright silver and crisp now bills, that sho can carry in her pocket with do danger of contracting disease n their handling. Tlie .MeiUoil MlM-ussed in Novels of Itlenli TyliiK ('I'linliml.s. In detective novels lingor-printsleft by criminals, preferably in blood, play an important part; but truth seems stranger than fiction in the fact that the finger-prints system of, identifying criminals in India has been made so perfect that it would enable any intelligent person in a few minutes to' distinguish the individual, if necessary, from all other persons now living in tho world, or, if data were available, from all other persons wbo have' lived since the creation of man.' ' The, system is simplicity itself, and there is none' of the. elaboration of .process of the cosily and delicate machinery required for the anihropomatiic system. Alt that is needed is apiece of-vin, a sheet of paper and some printer's ink. Tho ink impressions of the'ten digits aro taken and filed in the proper compartment of the proper pi goon-hole, and this on tho classification of records and their distribution into the pigeonholes that tho success of the system depends. JKvory linger ' mark shows lines, of the. "loop," or ihe "whorl" type, and by a simple table of the combinations of these types'- in the ton digits 1,024 main classes are made. Thbre arc again subdivided according to minor details, and the subdivision caii bo Tucthor divided, ad infinitum if ncoes- sai-y; but with the table before him any person of ordinary intelligence can place '.his,, finger on the corresponding card lo a record in his hand within five minutes, no matter how many thousands cards thoro may bo. It is calculated that the chances are about 04,000,0000 to 1 against any two persons having single, fingers identical and the chances against all ten fin- gors being identical, go beyond mathematics altogether. LONG LIVED BALLET DANCERS. A statistician has been devoting himself to a study of ballet dancers, and his investigation seems to establish the fact that they are an unusually long- lived lot. Tho famous Carlotta Grisi is Hiving now at the age of 77, and one of the ballet dancers at the Opera in Paris, is 70,.but he is a man. Ama- lia Ferraris ' is still teaching at the age of 78, in Paris, and seems likely to continue that work for some time to come, Fanny Ellsler was 74 when she died, and Taglioni has passed her eightieth year. Rosita Mauri, the popular premiere at the Opera in Paris, is: oyer 50, and has begun to talk of retiring. i for he remarked one day" "those, pilla ore doing you some good, you look livelier ihan you have for soma tim<5." She continued the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills until she' ���������'���������' had taken fourteen boxes, with the gratifying and almost remarkable results that she was completely cured oil the rheumatism and catarrh, not a solitary symptom of either trouble remaining. Mr. Druce wasi present during tho interview and confirmed all that his wife had said and Svas as .delighted as she in praising tho virtues of Dr..Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Druca said that out of grali;ude for this wonderful restoration to health she had told scores of other sufferers from different diseases of tho virtues of the medicine 'which' had been ihe undoubted means of prolonging her life.' She hoped that .others would follow hor. plan of giving, the pills a.fair and prolonged trial as she was confident that in the end success would surely follow as in her own case. ���������.��������� ������������������ ' ��������� ���������! WHIP AGAINST'SWORD. Hoi How a .Plucky ...Woim-iil Prevented ttusbiiiid'.s .tFsasslu.HJon. The Civil and Military Gazette, published at Alhthabad, contains an exciting account of tho manner in which a plucky woman saved herself and her husband against the attack.of a Ghazi. As Captain and Mrs. Spence were out driving slowly they ; saw a Brahui mounted on a Balueh racing "inaro coming toward them at a walk. As the man approached he \\ drew' hia' sword and made a vigorous cut at Captain Spence, who. ou seeing tho naked sword, .instantly stood "-'up and lashed ;j(t the Ghazi with the driving whip, causing the mare to swerve and (The sword to pass harmlessly by, but uncomfortably close io Captain Spsnce's head. At this instant Captain Spence lost his balance and fell under the wheel of the trap, where ho lay pinned, down for some time. . Seeing her husband in the act of falling Mrs. Spence seized the whip' from his hand . :ind jumped to the ground. , By this timo tho Ghazi'had wheeled on.tho road and was making another rush. Mrs. Spence. instantly stood betweon her husband and the man, and there received'the Ghazi's attack, whip in hand, cutting at him and his mare and calling out for help. liy making vigorous use of j.er whip she kept the Ghazi off and drove him away. ��������� A second charge tho G hazi made was similarly repulsed, excopt that on this occasion tho Ghazi's cuts came more perilously near, and Mrs. Spence was knocked down. By this timo Captain Spence had extricated himself fx-om beneath tho wheel'of the trap, where he sustained several bruises and a cracked rib, and camo, to his wifo's help, and when the Ghazi made his third rush he was driven off by Captain Spence, when ho made off at a gallop, but the pursuit was taken up and ho was ultimately run down and shot.

Some or Thorn learn With Difficulty the Use of Trees. African natives who have lived in , ow-story hute show the greatest fear of climbing stairs, and will sometimes go up on hands and knees. Dogs often have to be trained to climb'stairs. instinctively distrusting the upper stories. It has been conjectured that tbu is because the dog's forelegs break. , easily below the shoulder, and ��������� the beast seems to realize this. The fox has no such fear, and has been known to climb a tree with' plenty of small .limbs to th'e height of seventeen feet, Swimming comes easier than climbing to most animals, as well , as to many races of men. Rats and guinea pigH can swim well and climb not at all, although their cousins, the squir- ' rels, are at home in the trees. Prairie dogs, which live in plains and have no use for climbing, can be taught the trick, but when thoy try to jump from a height they usually fall on th'eir heavy, stupid heads, and ���������e: 'iher stun themselves or break their ��������� teeth1. They lack the inherited instinct that should teach them what car. and what cannot be done. Australian rabbits of the same family of rodents, can climb very well, having lived forcgenerations in forests. Bears can climb well if little, but the grizzly and other large species stay mainly on the ground. A bear always climbs down a tree stern foremost, as does the domestio cat until she has .nearly reached the ground, when she turns and jumps; but most wild cats run down a trunk head first, even the heavy leopard being a more skilful climber than the light house cat. The tiger and lion, however, do not climb, for no discoverable reason except thtt they fear falling on account of their weight. . I NEWEST WORD IN FLANDERS. Euphonious Term by Which Horseless Cnr- rln&e Is Known. Some new words have necessarily beeii added to the English language sinco. the introduction of the horseless carriage, and the vocabularies of other tongues have also naturally been similarly enriched in all countries where such carriages have become popular. With few exceptions, all these words, jre technical and their true significance is only understood by the electrician and the machinist. The members of the Flemish academy of Anvers recently determined to frame a ward which would be readily intelligible, to all who understand the language of Flanders and who had ever seen a horseless carriage, and the result was that after much deep thought they framed the following word: " Snelpaardelooszonderspoorwegpet- rolrijtuig." This ouphonius word signifies "a carriage which is worked by means of petroleum, which travels fast, which has no horses, and which is not run ,on rails." That is, from one point of view a fine example of multum in parvo, but 'it may be questioned whether one extraordinary long word is preferable to half a dozen short words. The Flemish people, however, think differently, and the. academicians of Anvers have been highly complimented by them on their linguistic skill as seen in this unique word. ' ' CONDUCTOR H. HOGG And His Deadly Struggle With a Vicious Enemy. Dlnbctcii was Getting the Victory Over Hint When he Begun to Use Dodd's Kidney rills���������Then thn Tide Tnrncd and Ur Was Saved. Toronto, May 8.���������Still another member of the staff of the Toronto Street Railway comes forward to testify to the unequalled efficacy of Dodd's Kidney Pills, in cases of Diabetes. This time It is Mr. H. Hogg, Conductor No. 207, residing at No. 81 Fuller St., who tells his story. Here is what he says: "Diabetes kept me in continual misery,, and nightly agony for- three years. My blood got bo impure that I thought I could never ret it, restored to its natural' purity, was tortured by dizziness, which grew to such an extent that I had to quit work. I lost flesh and strength rapidly, and, in short, 1 thought it was 'all up with me.' " "I used different remedies, but got no good from any , of them, until a friend recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I had no idcia they would help me, as I had been disappointed so often, but I decided to try them. The first box gave me wonderful relief.., Tho dizziness vanished, and my head became as steady,as ever it was. Three boxes completed my cure, and to-day I am sound and well, thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills." The best way to ascertain the real merit of Dodd's Kidney Pills is to test them. There can he no deceit then. They either will cure, or they will not. A trial costs very little, and it will settle all doubts for all time. , ��������� Dodd's Kidney Pills are sold by all druggists, at fifty cents a box, six boxes $2.50, or sent, on~receipt of price, by The Dodds Medicine Co., Limited; {Toronto, Ont. tr "c?{ecessity Knows No Laxv.

IS THAT SO? "It is currently reported that our member, R. F. Green, Esq., when at Sandon, on.nis way to Victoria, attended a semi-secret meeting at which he informed those present that he voted for the eight-hour day law, that he favored it, and that he would use liis influence with the govirnment t������ have it enforced. ' Jt is also commonly remarked thai Lhe decision of (he government to enforce it was coincident with 31r. Green's arrival at the capital. We j nt this, for general information, as think a member' sconslitutonts ���������ho j'd know fromsome source what the sta , ��������� of the member is upon import- an ; questions. JI goes without saying th our columns are open for the con- tr iction, confirmation or ainpliflca- sion of these rumors or snrmises." Thc Kaslo Kootenaian has lhe foregoing. On a certain occasion an Irish jury, on hearing the evidence of . the ^prosecution, sentenced tbe prisoner to be hanged, intimating that'they would listen to the other side of the case afterwards. After listening to what is , "currently reported" and "commonly ���������.remarked" our contemporary asserts that Mr. Green attended a "semi-secret meeting," which, by the way, was attended by a couple of dozen non-miners, and there declared "he would use his influence with the government" to have thc eight-hour law enforced. "It is also commonly remarked" by our neighbor again "that, the decision of the government to enforce it (the law) was coincident with Mr. Green's arrival at the capital," and, therefore, "we print this for general information, etc." We understand .that the chief in- spirer of, the Kootenaian is a local " preacher, and if he gives as facts from the pulpit, and his audiences accept them, what is "currently reported" and "commonly remarked" all we have to say God help their credulity. How much better it would be, and more in line with an orthodox sermon at least, if before announcing a thing for "general information"he would first verrify what is "commonly remarked" and currently reported." In Bhort, if our neighbor's "general information" were got on other foundations, there would be something more substantial for "contradiction" in "our columns." The Yankee said he "never kicked at nothin' for it strained him so." It would strain Mr. Green very badly��������� even in thc columns of the Kootenaian ���������to "contradict" the truth there is in this chain ef insinuations. ��������� A correspondent in'other columns puts the matter fight, and if the Kootenaian is as de&irous of publishing facts as it is fancies, when the reputation of an opponent is at stake, it will copy the article. All we have to say is that Mr. Green did not attend a "semi-secret meeting" at Sandon ; he did not say, he would use his influence with the government to have the act enforced." He merely told the miners he would tell the government what they7 requested him to tell, and he kept his word. It may have been coincident with Mr. Green's visit that the government came to. the conclusion they did; but the one had just as much to do with ���������the other as the Kootenaian's truth had with the success of Mr. Retallack .at the last election, though they were concident. ' property is tlie best time to buy. Its price is not then fabulous, and whatever is in it is there���������it has not been mined out to any substantial extent. If a mine' bought at a fabuloHS price gives out before thc purchasers are satisfied with their realizations, thc owners should not blame the country, but themselves for not making their purchase earlier, when the price was lower and thc quantity of ore much greater. While the mine owners and thc miners are arranging their differences, it would not bo out of place if a more general insistence on the terms of the Truck Act were observed. There arc many instances where they could not be enforced with any advantage to the men���������where the mines are far removed from the villages and towns ��������� but there are, so many instances in which they could be observed to advantage, a trial should be made. A miner can keep his family when near him on less than when they are away from him; and he can live on much less when with them than he pays' at the bunk houses. Besides all this, tho towns,whose mineral surroundings are keeping up tlie operations, are���������entitled to a distribution of thc expenditures made by families away. With the families of the man icd miners working here resident, we would have more stores and better ones, better schools, and, in fact, better everything of the kind, which is our due. In many cases the owners of the mines reside i.t distances, and, while they are getting wealthy en large dividends, the towns, whose resources are making them rich, are not receiving the proper return consideration. The location of miners' families here, and the men boarding with them would be of great service to the entire community. union has never yet expressed itself officially on the subject, whatever stray men may have done on their own account. Nearly all agree that a $3.00 camp is not best for the country ; that eight hours' steady work is a long pull;' but no sensible man can defend an Act that prevents' miners and owners from making arrangements that best serve the interests of both. UE.\RT JDISEASiO. Has became frightfully prevalent of late. If your he.irt palpitates, throbs, skips, beats or is weak', do not fail to use Milburn's He.irt and Nerve Jills.

In While the sale of the Payne mine to Canadian capitalists has done much to biing the Slocan into notice, it is a question after all whether such incidents will prove of substantial advantage to the district. There is, of course, an end to all things earthly, and there must be one to the production of any given mine, even the Payne. A farm pretty well run out may be brought back into a fair producing condition by fertilizers and cultivation', but it is not so with mines. Minerals do not grow in mines, at least, not sufficiently quick to be of service to any living mining company. When the area1 of the Payne is mined and to the depth that operatives can go, there will, of course, bean end to the production and the value' of the property. That end: must come some clay,and whether it be before or after the new Canadian Co. get their money, with good interest, out of it is the question. All this goes to show one thing���������that it is not when a mine is nt its best arid the price the highest, that it is the best time to buy. Generally speaking when ore has been first struck in a tunnel of a, new The Nelson Tribune does not think it consistent for the Kootenay press to say that we have the richest mines in the world'and tint the mine owners cannot afford to pay S3.50 for eight hours work. Both statements may be to a substantial extent absolutely true. No one will deny that the Payne, the Last Chance, -the Star, the Ruth, the Queen Bess, thc Reco, the Ivanhoe, the Idaho and many others in the Slocan are the richest mines in the world and can afford to pay the long price for the short day's work. On the other hand there are many poor men working prospects that may turn out indifferent mines or absolute failures. Those men cannot afford to have their work cost them a cent more than it has in the .-past.-...If .we;.'understand them aright, the owners of the larger properties are' objecting to' the change mainly on principle���������they say the government should not have made radical changes;in the law in favor of the one side, without as fully consulting the other. They say also that a law that destroys the. liberty of the subject so far as to prevent men from making contracts in the financial in-' tercst of both was never conceived in either reason or justice. The Nelson Miner intimates that the Miners' Union,, of Nelson, are settling down to $3.00 for the eight hours ; that a conference between owners.and men is decided on to arrange matters on that basis; that the Hall mines are hiring that way,-and that representatives of the Sandon Miners' Union say that the Sandon union will follow suit. The Miner may have knowledge of what is going on at Nelson, but wc venture the opinion that the Sandon Simple Measured Tlmt Prove Effective a Cn.uo of Syncopo. Fainting, or syncopo, is a temporary loss of consciousness, ocourring with tufeebled and rotarded action of the fceart, as manifested by a slow aud almost imperceptible pulso, oxtremo pallor of tho face, especially tho lips, and a coldness and lividityof tho bauds and feet. Tho attack of unconsciousness is generally preceded by a feeling of slight nausoa, a swimming before the eyes, noises in tbe ears, a fullness of the head and an indescribable feeling of -"all goneness,," of the extrome wretchedness of which no one can have any idea who has not experienced it in his own person. The voices of those aronnd gradually become indistinct, objects grow dim, the breathing is oppressed, and finally darkness closes in, tho muscles relax, and the sufferer passes into that mysterious and awe inspiring state called unconsciousness, This lasts for a variable period and then tho mind gradually re- Bninos its supremacy, the patient oomiug again into possession of his suspended facaltios, like one raised from the dead rather than like ono aroused from slumber. In its essence tho act of fainting is Inerely a symptom of anaemia of the brain, with which is associated a great' ly weakened action of the heart, both dependent upon some usually disagreeable impression from without, such as the sight of blood, an unpleasant or very powerful odor, a sudden fright, pain, oppressive heat of the atmosphere, tbe roceipt of bad news, less often a great and sudden joy, and tho like. Young -women, people in delicate health, tho nervous and sufferers from heart disease are moro prone to syncope than otbors, yet fainting may oocur in the strongest mou from the effect of slight cuuhua. Were it not so familiar a sight a person in a faint would fill the bystanders with terror, so closoly does the condition simulate death, but fortunutoly the stato is one usually of short duration. .The patient should'bo placed flat on the baclc, with no pillow or support under the head. Those not in immodiate attendance should keep at a distance, and fresh air should be admitted freely. The clothing should be loosened about the neck and the waist, the face should be fanned, and respiration should be stimulated, by flipping a few drops of cold water on the faco and ohest. Tho bare chest and.arms may also bo slapped with a wet towel. Smelling salts may be held cautiously under the nose or a few grains of pepper blown into the nostrils. Any ordinary swoon should quickly yield to these simple measures. ���������Youth's Companion. AND OTHER INVESTMENTS. Every Representation Guaranteed. A man who neglects his health is sailing Ills crafl of life in dangerous seas. lie cannot too soon awaken to the fact that he is imperiling his niost precious endowment. All the wealth in the world, all the power in tlie world, all the pleasure in tlie world, all the ^love and poetry and music and nobility citil beauty are but dust iu the mouth of the man who has lost his health. Keeping healthy means looking after the disorders that ninety-nine men in a hundred neglect. You cannot get the aveiage every-day man to believe that indigestion or biliousness, or eostiveuess or headache or loss of sleep or appetite, or shakiness in the morning and dullness through the day amount to much anyway. He will "pooh, pooh" at you, until some morning he wakes up and finds himself sick abed Then he will send for a doctor and find out to his surprise that all these disorders have been but the danger signals of a big malady that has robbed him of his health, possibly forever. It may be consumption or nervous, prostration or malaria or rheumatism or some blood or skin disease. It matters not, they all have their inception in the same neglected disorders. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes the appetite keen, the digestion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure, the nerves steady and gives sound and refreshing sleep.

Bills For Killing Criminals That Were Formerly Paid In Holland. Edam, in Holland, whore; tho Dutch cheese conies from, has a musouin of local antiquities, and among tbe not .least interesting of the exhibits aro the accounts of tbe municipal execntionors during the eighteenth century, says the London Chronicle. Ono of thoso functionaries, by name Vogel,,presents a detailed bill dated Deo. 19, 1713, in whioh he sets forth a claim for 0 florins for one decapitation and 8 florins each for a sword and winding shoot, with 3 florins 14 cents for a coffin for tbe decapitated one. His chargo for hanging a criminal was also 0 florins, -with the further addition of 8 florins for "cutting down and impaling ditto." "Breaking a man on tho wheel" was a costlier'luxury and ran to 0 florins, whilo for "supplying nine new lashes for scourge" the charge was 27 florins. On the whole, however, Mr. Vogel was a moderate man in his charges or the value of human life went ijp a good deal in the next 50 years, for in the no lessoiroumstantial accounts of Johannes Ka, prosented Aug. 1, 17G4, we have a charge of 12 florins for "going on board the Hans and preparing instruments of torture, " with a like charge for "torturing one person. " But this must have been for tho lesser torture only, as on Aug. 80 the same Johannes sends in a bill,for "torturing three persons at 75 florins a head"���������total, 225 florins, while a few days later no loss thau 600 florins is charged for "hanging four persons at 150 florins each," and for "flogging two persons and burning a third" he exacts 150 florins.

No one can be healthy with the kidneys In a diseased or disordered state., The poisonous Uric Acid which it is their duty to filter out of the blood, is carried into the system and produces Rheumatism, Headaches, Backaches and hun- dreas of ills and ailments. Any ono who has the slightest suspicion that tlie kidneys are not acting right should take Doau's Kidney Pills. They are .the most effective kidrioy. remedy known. Mr. Conrad. Beyer,- at E: K. Snyder's Shoe Store, Berlin, Ont., bears this out when he says: ' 'Anyono suffering with klflney troubles cannot dp,better than take Doau's Kidney Pills,.for they cured my, Wife who has beeu afflicted with pain in the back and other kidney troubles for a long v.ime.

SOUPS. Potato Soup.���������Possibly Lhis is ' the , least expensive and the most quickly prepared. Pare and slice three of four potatoes and cook in a very little water. ��������� Put a quart of milk in a double boiler, or in a bnsin over an asbestos mat, that it may not scorch, and add a tablespoonful of chopped onion. Skim out tho potatoes when soft, mash and rub through a colander; blend half a tablespoonful of cornstarch with a littio melted butter, cook two minutes, then stir it into tho scalding milk, add the potato and cook five minutes. Serve hot with oroulons, small squares of bread browned in a hot oven. Canned Tomatoes.���������Make a delicious ,soup. Put a quart of canned or fresh1 ly-stewed tomatoes into a porcelain- or granite saucepan ; add a teacupf ul of boiling water, a teaspoonful of salt, a ' tablesxwonf ul of granulated sugar, and a slight dusting of white pepper. In a'"'basin or small saucepan, heat a tableyspoonful of butter very hot, do no*- brown it; add a few slices of onion ; cook gently five minutes tlien add a tablespoonful of cornstarch or Hour mixed smoothly wiLh a liLLle cold water; stir and immediately pour in a teacupful of boiling milk, and simmer two or three minutes. Strain andserve wUh crackers crisped in a' hot oven. Mock Bisque Soup.���������Strain a pint of canned or freshly-slewed tomatoes; heal to boiling a quart of milk, as ' directed for potato soup. Melt a tablespoonful of butter; pour in two teaspoonfuls of cornstarch blended with half a leacupful of thick cream, stirring rapidly as you pour, and cook a few minutes. Season with a scant teaspoonful of salt, a pinch of white pepper, and bits of butter, as if a rich soup is desired. To be served with croutons or crackers. , Onion Soup.���������Melt a piece of butter (ho size of an egg; slice into it a medium-sized onion, and fry a delicate brown ; add lhr=>e gills of milk and one of cream; season lo taste with pepper and celery salt. Split three or four Boston crackers put in a tureen, and over them strain the hot milk. Green Corn Soup.���������Into a. saucepan put half a can of corn ; orush the kernels aa much as may bo; add a pint of milk and half a pint of cream, and cook ten minutes; meantime frying two slices of onion in a little butter. Add this, to the milk; thicken with flour mads into a smooth paste with a little cold milk; season with salt and pepper ; cook three minutes and strain. .Soup from Lima Beans.���������Heat a pint of fresh-cooked or canned beans, press through a colander, add a quart ot milk and a teacupf ul of cream, season with a tablespoonful of butter and the usual condiments, and simmer fif- loen minutes Serve in soup plates, and at each cover place a saucer of very small crackers. Cream of Asparagus.���������Cut young tender stalks into inch lengths, boil until tender in water lo cover, and rub through a sieve. Into a quart of hot milk put a heaping tablespoonful of bulter, add the asparagus pulp, two tablespoonfuls of thick cream, and pour over very thin slices of hard-boiled eggs. Cut finely a large bunch of celery, cook soft in only water enough to cover and rub through a coarse colander. Scald a pint of half milk and half cream and add to the celery, also the water in which it was boiled. Season with whito pepper and silt, and slightly thicken with a little flour, blended with melted butter. Serve with inch- wide finger lengths of .delicately toasted bread. Never use butter that is in the least off flavor. While pepper makes a more delicate soup. If soups maigre are too thick, they are not relished and (hey lack body if too thin. Soups should be served very hot. The ' tureen should first be heated; this may be done by placing it on the stove shelves, with which nearly all stoves7 are now supplied, or it may be filled with' hoiling water a few minutes. When -wanted, drain: quickly and fill. Soup plates should be heated. The- mistress should serve the soup from the dish' placed on the table. Note that it is not good form to serve too large a quantity; only a small portion as an appetizer for tbe more substantial viands which follow. She should never he so busy or hard pressed for lime that she cannot listen to him. If he lives to be a man he will all too soon leave her. She should make the most of him, while jho has him. She shuuld encourage outdoor- exercise or sports, and she should hot forget to train him with proper regard tor his personal appearance. She should never allow him to form auch habits as coming to the table in his shirt sleeves, neglecting his nails or teeth, or carrying soiled handkerchiefs abouiMvith him. Sh should never nag'him, or forget thai ho is a creature ot reason, not an animal that requires lo be driven. Sho should not try to break her boy's will, but bo thankful Ihul he is manly enough to have a mind of his own. VALUE OP EGGS. Eggs can be used, as a substitute for paste or mucilage to seal a letter or a jar of jelly. The white of an< egg will allay tho smart of a burn if bound upon it immediately, excluding the air. Half a dozen egg-i given immediately after an emetic will renaor corrosive sublimate harmless. The white of an ogg beaten and swallowed will'dislodge a fish bone from the throat. When a mustard plaster is mixed wilh the whito of an ogg, instead of water, no blister will follow its application. Ia testing eggs remember that a good egg will sink and a bad egg will swim; if il is difficult to remember which is which, just stop lo think that afresh egg sinks because of the water ia its own composition. ' Another test of a thoroughly fresh egg is the distinctness wiLh which the yolti may' be seen when the egg is held up to the light. LET THE CHILDREN LAUGH. - Chavasso, an eminent surgeon, says: "Encourage your children to be merry and to laugh aloud. A good, hearty laugh expands the chest and makes the blood bound merrily along. Commend me to a good laugh, not to a little, sniggering laugh, but to one that will sound right through lhe house. It will not onlyi do your child good, ! but will be a benefit to all who I hear, and be an important means of j driving the blues away from a dwell- i ing. Merriment is very catching and I spreads in a remarkable manner, few | being able to resist tho conta'gion. A ' hearty laugh' is delightful harmony. Indeed it is the best af all music. Interesting for Women, The former Empress Eugenie has gone lo the Continent in accordance wilh hor custom and will not return to England for eight months. Much of her time will be spent on the Riviera and in travelling on her yacht. Her English home at Farnborough is said to be a'mosl substantial building of red brick and stone, unpretentious, but most comfortable. Unlike many English country places, it is supplied with gas, equipiJeu wilh a steam, plant,, and supplied' with hydrants for protection in case of fire. It is surrounded by beautifully wooded grounds. This is in reality, Eugenie's home, allhough she spends a large part of every year in travel. She is uu early riser in spite of the fact that she suffers from insomnia. Two .friends live with hor, and her household consists of ten servants. The regular ruuline of the day is described as monotonously quiet. Breakfast is an early meal, and is followed by letter writing and reading the newspapers, which ure attended 10 V by Eugenie's two devoted friends. She 1 someiiinas visUs the village of Farn- ! borough in the morning, and regularly beioro lunuheon every day a visit is made to tho mausoleum on the ' grounds where' ihe Emperor and the Prince Imperial aro buried. The afternoon lhe Empress usually spends in walking through the grounds. On her visits to Lonuon Eugenie is accompanied always by four servants. Her comfortable and diguif ied estate of semi royalty is maintained wilh her own fortune, which is said' lo be large' : enough lo keep her in luxury and will probably coutiuue to be sufficient ^ for ihe rest ot hor life. She gives lib- ! erally lo charities in the neighborhood I of her English home. Her entire time I is spent iu Farnborough, save for occasional visits Lo London, which are made lo attend to her business interests. She ia said not to be sad, in spile of the loneliness of her life. She has a bicycle track at Farnborough, for hor young relatives, and takes great delight in ' their society when they visit her. Tho frien Jshiu of Quean Victoria has aiwuys , been a boon lo her, and the English sovereign has never failed lo recognize her equal rights. In the official court journal, every mention of Ihe Empress is made to place her on an exactly equal footing with the Queen. same. Tho Empress, when in full dress wears'many jewels. Some of these are the property of the Crown, and she is entitled to use them only so long as her husband remains Emperor.tShe has no right'to weor them as a widow. But she has some beautiful gems given to her by Lhe Emperor at ; their marriage, and a beautiful collection of pearls left to her by tho late Empress Augusta. The Empress Erioderich is most economical in mailers of dress, and so are the majority of women who come tolhe German "-event. At the* so- called " Schleppe Cour" or " train court," which corresponds lo a presentation in England, the costumes are not brilliant. The most necessary thing is a train of satin of a certain length. Some of these trains appear to have been in use for years���������indeed, until most of tho satin has been worn away, and only thc back remains. They are handed down for years in families, and hiU-hed on lo the dresses, of various members ofthe families to qualify them for presentation at this formal court function.- THE BIRTHDAY FLOWER. For a child's birthday party lot the table be decorated wilh the flower of. tho-month in which the child was born, as: January, snowdrop; February, the primrose; March, violet; April, daisy; May, hawthorn ; June, wild rose; July, lily ; August, poppy; September, convolvulus; October, hops; November chrysanthemum; December, holly. Each has an appropriate sentiment attached to it. The. snowdrop means consolation; the primrose, youthtul sunshine; the violet, modesty; the daisy, innocence; the hawthorne, hope; the wild rose, simplicity; the lily, purity; the poppy, the comfort of sleep: the convolvulus, contentment; hops, aspirdtion ; the chrysanthemum, cheerfulness ; holly, foresight and protection. CHILDREN'S FOOD. Whilo mothers should keep their children clothed as well as means and time permit, they must not forget thai, while any.old thing.may do for a ch.'ld to wear without serious discomfort, too much care cannot be taken in regard to food. This is especially true of lhe growing children in school. An eminent physician says that " school experiences are particularly apt to encourage irritation and waste of nerve and muscle tissue. Hence the need during school life of special care wilh respect to diet." ABOUT IRONING. To get the best resulls the starching should be solid, stiff enough lo stand wear, and flexible enough to give to your movements. A high polish should not be aimed at but instead a fine even finish. Neckbands of shirts should be ironed in their original shape, and set up at right angles with the shirt to allow the neck free play. Very stiff wo: k does more damage to your liuen than washing and wear combined. Solid and flexible is the thing. SORE MOUTH'. Children frequently have sores on their tongues, caused from a deranged stomach, more commonly known as story blisters.. Sulphur is the very best . remedy known.. It . stands far ahead of the mouthwashes composed of sage, borax, alum, etc., and is not so painful. If the child is too small to hold the sulphur in its mouth dry, mix it with butter: If it swallows it so much the bettor. THINGS MOTHERS SHOULDN'T DO She should not forget that if she treats her boy as a gentleman, she will do much toward making him a gentleman. She sbvuld not treat her boy to per petual frowns, scoldings,' and faultfindings- "Sugar attracts more flies than vinegar."1 Love wins her boy to i nobis manhood. SIBERIA'S WHEAT. Thousands of Tons Wirrii Available For Ux- jiorl C.asl Year. A few years ago some of the hest writers on the Russian Empire, including Prince Krapolkin, believed that the wheat producing capabilities of Siberia has been much overrated, and that the country would never be able, to produce much1 more of the cereal than it needs for its own consumption. But as the Siberian railroad lias pushed through new regions* and thousands of Russian families have followed its advance and made new homes, it begins to look as though the writers who held pessimistic views concerning Siberian agriculture were mistaken. In lhe Altai mining district, last,year over 300,000 tons of surplus wheat were produced and only 5 per cent, of the available agricultural lands have yet been brought into cultivation. In the fertile steppe country opened, up by th'e western section of the railroad, 81,500 tons of wheat Were raised for export where until recently it was necessary to import wheal every ye i Coi local consumption Fcv peisons hive sufficient wisdom lo piefer cm<-ure, which is useful, t' praise which deceives them���������Rochefou cauld. Mareolla Sombrich has a superb collection of jewels, which are valued at more th-in $2t"0 0.:0 They are customarily carried in a casket built to contain the different articles, and this is always carefully guarded. On the day that she arrived Mme. S^mbrich who is not a rail woman, seemed a foot or two .laller thin her customary height. Tho members of.tho company who crossed ou lha steamer with her were unable lo account for ihe change as they stood among the Irunks awaiting the inspection of the luggage. One of Lhem was finally unable to endure, the uncertainty any longer, and went over to find out the reason lor her increased stature, ihen it was discovered that Mme. Sumorich was standing on her jewel <.-a���������-.kel. there wuo no oiher way oi securing the customary piuteotiou while ihe trunks were opened, so she niuuuled ihe box in order to protect 11 from any possible danger. A. somewhat similar incident happened once iu jtussia; Mme. Scm- biiuh was travelling frum St. i'eters- burg lo Warsaw, She, her husband and the jewel box were in one compartment, while her maid and the courier with .whom she usually travels wore in ahoihoi car. The olher passengers in the car were an officer whom they had met iu SI. Petersburg and two strange men. After the train led Moscow the officer told Alme. Scmbrich that ho had recognized the two men as notorious thieves who had lately beer released from prison and were doubtless oh the train for the purpose of getting at her .jewels,, which were famous in Russia. He promised to:keep guard from the outside. Mme, Sembrich arid her husband locked, the door and alternated in silting on the jewel casket until Warsaw was reached in the early morning hours. Then a policeman was brought to (he car, and nnder his supervision,, the singer and her jewels were safely carried to the hotel. Many of them were given; to the singer by admirers in Russia���������some of whom were not even known to her by name. Tho most valuable part of the collection is a superb set of sapphires. Few persons who have seen the German Empresewould believe that she spends money extravagantly on her dresses, yet she is said to keep twelve women constantly employed on her wardrobe, under the supervision of a maid of honor. When she is about to take a journey requiring especial ceremony this number is increased to forty, and for every wedding she attends the Empress is said to order fifteen new dresses. In addition to the dresses made in - her private establishment, there are court, gowns brought from Vienna to be .worn on state, occasions. These are so long that the trains have, to be carried to enable the Empress to walk, and are frequently studded with jewels. The value of one dress, including tho jewels applied to the train, is ;aid to have beeu' $20,000. The rule at ihe German court makes it impossible "or thi Empress to appear twice at the late functions in the same costumn ind mmh of Ihj? work done by th" welve diesFsmakers is in making al- eiations so that the rule may not bioken and the dresses have a dif- leiWt look though they are toiIIv (lie DAMMING THE NILE. Tlie -*Vom!er.s of IUc (irn.-U Reservoir Jnst Siai'iol at ,lsmi.-tii. ' Since the building of the pyramids Egypt has seen feSy such gigajitic undertakings as tho construction of the great reservoir dam at Assuan, thc foundation stone of which was laid a few days ago by th'e Duke of Con- naught, says the London Mail. Th!is dam will be a mile and/ a quarter in length'; .the height of tho cop- ingstone, will bo 300 feel above tho bed of the lower river, and for 140 miles Father Nile will feel the influence, of this great impounding of waters. English, engineers and English surveyors have planned lhis great enterprise, English money is at the back of it, and English bondholders will, next perh'aps to the cultivators of the soil on the Nile hanks, derive the greatest benefit. Five thousand dusky natives aro already a I work; one order for 3,000,- 000 barrels of European cement has been or is about to be delivered; thousands of tous of granite ash'lar are being quarried from the Assuan side of the river. Never has Lhe ancient river on wh-jse bosom Moses was cradled seen such industry. John Bull 'has very much arrived. Tha dam will bo built of material taken from thc quarries al Assuan, whence came the granite used for the construction of ihe Thames embankment. s On its compielion-ihe reservoir will hold 26O,0CU,00J,000 gallons of water, and across this huge artificial lake a bridge will stretch, and camel trains ana pedestrains will pass over, and all will be life and bustle and hurry. Never had the descendants of Pharaoh such a shaking up. Auu uhat is thei object of it all I "Egypt is the Nile, and the Nile is Egypt." In that ancient saying the uhule business may be summed up. The dam will bottle up ihe x'loh Nile waters; r ' f MILLIONS OF ACIUSS OF LAND will bo irrigated; 2,500. square miles will be reclaimed juoin the deserts , in short, me dam will increase, the country's pruuuoin t> capacity by ii5per cent. Egypt's output of raw sugar will in a year or two bo 'doubled ;per- haps trotued. Here ia a chance for the " depressed " British tanner. Let him go to Egypi. The soil there, when u can got Wile water, is moie kind ikan that at h-jme, Cotton and sugux command high prices, and one acre will produce .from four to five hundredweight of long-staple conon. When the great dam is completed vast tracts of land will.be capable of producing two, if ndl three, crops in the year. The work will b& completed in -a little over five years from.now. This is Lhe first time a river approaching the size of the Nile has hadi a dam built in it. Another novel thing about this altogether novel under taking is that it will he both' a dam. and ii waterway. Now, as to the cost'.7 When one considers the stupendous character ofthe scheme, the many difficulties that will have' to be overcome, and the incalculable benefits that will accrue, the price doos not appear' exorbitant: The contractors are to receive, in round figures, ������1G0,000 a year for thirty years, making in all about ������4,800,000, The period over which this payment is to extend must carry conviction to lhe 'minds of other nations who have set longing eyes on the valley of the Nile that Great Britain' means to hold onto it, for sorno time, at any rate. A curious obstacle was at thu outset placed in this way of realizing the scheme. The original plans for the construction of ihe dam would have involved the disappearance of thefam- ous ruins of Ph'ilae. ' ���������';'.. Miles of petitions were drawn . up nnd submitted to the authorities, and scores of alternative plans suggest cd some of them worthy, the imaginative minds that had conceived them. -One waw to remove PMlae, stone by i stone, to Cairo, thus bringing it still easier wilhin the reach of tourists. Finally the engineers modified their plans, and th'e dam will be one-third lower th'an was at first proposed. Still,, when the reservoir is finished, Philae will never be itself again; for the waters will wash' the' feet of the tem- ole.������ th'at for age<9 hive stood like sen- iinels guarding tho boundary of Nubia and Egypt This is unfortunate, but Ihe most onthusiastic of Egyptologists will confess that the saorlfice is not in vain YOUN^FOLKa DRJSAMS. To dream of angels means joy ; anta -. denote good trade ; apples denote a- wedding���������sours ones denoting bad luck, sweet ones prosperity and good luck.- To dream of a donkey denotes fead: luck, and it is said to ride ono is scorn- to hold one is much toil; aud to dream you aro beating one, you'll mourn. To dream of a cloudy morning .shows ill luck and grief; but to see a bright sunny morn in your dream will,bring you good news. To dream you hear dogs barking and howling is a bad sign. To dream you hear bells is a sign of enmity, or if you hear tho -wind blowing it denotes hatred- and quarl- ling.

Little Elsie felt herself quite a gardener as she quietly walked across thi lawn with her new rake and watering can. "My garden will always look nia. now, for I can rake it smooth with mj uew rake, and I shall water it everj evening and th'en the seeds will all come up and the flowers will looK fresh." Elsie hold up her head and looked quite proud. Sho had not gone far before she mot her brother Dick. "Ah I" said ho, "you ar - going t������ your garden. Have you any -seed to set ?',' "No," said Elsie; "it is not the right time." "Doll seed m'ay bo set at any time,'1 said Diclc, taking two large beans out of his pocket. "Don't s������t them verj deep in the ground, and come overy morning to see if they have come up." Dick was very fond of playing tricks on his sister though -his mother told him it was wrong to do so, and he laughed as he saw Elsie going off with her beans, which sho set near' soma . flower pots. One morning Dick went off to th������ garden -with a small paper parcel tucked under his coat, and hid himself behind some bushes. . Presently Elsie came along, and when , she looked'��������� at her, garden she spread out her hands and'-'said: 7 "Oh 1" .--:': ':���������.':/:��������� ^ ..'���������'. Close by the flower potsilay a little wax doll. ,!'Elsie ran to the house, calling out;7 "Mother, mother I my doll seed has come up. It has grown into a real doll. Come and look." But -when her mother came and saw Dick looking through the bushes, t.h������ said: "Oh I Dick, Dickl you have boen playing your sister another trick." THE BIRDS' PETITION.

' " So whilo his Majesty of Behar ro- ������idod in a fine palace, facing the riv- jr, and surrounded by a^'lordly park In which the most beautiful flowers ��������� ivero grown for his pleasure, and a mako mound, togother with a menagerie of wild beasts kept for his amuse- 'ment, Soli lived wilh her father and .ten little brothers and sisters in a dilapidated thatched hut just, outside ��������� the King's northern galo, and in Lhe .midst of a two-acre compound rank with overgrown vegetation.

Ofleu had Soli gazed wilh awe upon Iheii great neighbor, the King of Bo- ,har; as he occasionally drove forth, a r��������� blaze of jewels, foil a turn in the Cal- ���������culta maidan, buL only once had the eyes of lhe King fallen upon Soli. "Doab, who is that girl?" demanded tho King of Behar of a handsomb harkara, footman, standing upon the splashboard of the equipage, as it ���������swept past the hut on lhe occasion. "Who is thai girl over yonder?" The harkara purposely looked in tho wrong direction, and replied that he did not know, but thai he was as dusl under lhe feet of the great king to do his bidding. i " Then find out," peremptorily ordered the king, for the girl's slender form and graceful pose had pleased his royal fancy. " Find out," said the king. " D'you hoar me, Doab ?" Doab at once intimated that the king's command snould be obeyed; but as ho did so a, frown clouded the brow of his usually placid countenance. For some minutes Soli stood watching her royal neighbor's progress, until as ho passed out of.view, she turned to enter the hut, when a voice at hand stayed her tootstops. "Soli I Hullo, Soli, there I" " Ati, sahib," quickly responded the girl, as she caught sight of the captain's steward of one of the ships lying at Garden Beach, who had approached tho hut unobserved. " How about that washing that was lo have been on board to-day f" demanded tho stewa.rd. " We sail at noon to-morrow, and it is now 5 o'clock." ' " It shall be ready in time, sahib." "Not ready yet?"

" Mind, Doab," said ho to the harkara. " Mind you see about that girl yonder." Doab intimated that tho will of the Light of the Universe should be in that, as in all other respects, promptly obeyed. But the same dark look crossed his face as ho sprang down to run beforo tho horses 'and open the gale for the King's carriage to pass through. By this time night had fallen upon the land, and darkness set in save for tho brilliant illumination of tho heavens, and those fairy lanterns of the East���������the fireflies diincing in tho void from tree to troo.

" Was only a dhobin. Well, who is she now, then ?" " Siva alone knows," replied the harkara " She died last night."

An experienced packer and dealer, writing of canned goods, says that many mora will be consumed whon the women folkr thoroughly understand that one-half of the people now( using this class of goods use ihem; ignorant- ly, and fail to derive satisfaction possible from them. As to tho safety in tho use of canned goods, hundreds of millions of cans of food aro consumed yearly, and there never has been an authenticaied case of poisoning proved against Lhemi lhat cannot bo traced and attributed to the cire.lessneHs of the consumer. Nine-tenths of all the cans made today dro sealed by being revo'lvedj in a bed of molten solder, which seals them |.-.poonfuls of bakiiig powder, on th'e outside���������not tho inside���������as can bo seen by examining the line of solder about a quarter of an inch from' tho rim. Before using canned goods seo that lhe ends of each aro sunk in. If such is lhe case,r-ihe contents are good and wholesome, and lhere need bono hesitation in using Lhe fruit. If the ends of lire can are springy or bulged outward do not open it but throw it away. A swelled or bulged can means fermented contents, ,and spoiled goods Uiould under no consideration boused. After the can has been opened, pour contonts immediately into a porcelain or glass dish. ;Never leave them in a can, as this act is often the innocent cause of sickness, owing to lhe natural chemical action of the air upon tho tin and fruit. First-class goods cannot be purchased at the price of second-class goods. , Always bear in mind that all canned goods have received a cooking varying in length of time from five minutes lo even hours, according to the character of thc goods, and that but little further cooking is necessary. Canned fruits on all kinds should be emptied from the can several hours beforo being served, poured into an opan porcelain or glass dish, aud then chilled in a refrigerator. Served cold Lhey are most delicious and refreshing and tasLo totally different from what they did when, first taken from, the can. As PLUMING HER WINGS.

" Why 1 What did you do that for ?" ksked the steward, as he stared With ��������� tho utmost 'astonishment at the trembling Hindoo maid. , "Oh, you must;not strike him," sho Jriod in terror.

If you had Blruck Siva it would have been terrible." . . ',. "I hope I didn't hurt you," said tho steward in a tone of real concern. " Oh; no," replied the girl, as she thereupon ran inside, and shortly returned to say���������that the captain sahib's clothes would surely be on board the ship early th'e next morning. "All right, Soli," replied the' steward. " But look here; ; you take my advice and kill that snake; god or no god,' the next time you seo him, or he'll kili you, that's7 truth." ' ��������� In return, Soli looked gravely out through her large dark eyes, but said "John 1' "Well, Miranda dear, I doubt if you will ever be able to make me over. Now you look wild again, and I suppose 1 have said something wrong. What m the world can it be?" "Two things, John dear.

She must plume hex wings, I suppose. We'have lo carefully instruct her as to the dangers of the outside world, end then trust her. God keep her I" I think there is nothing more trying to the parents of a high and refined sense of propriety than ihe epoch in a child's life, be it son or daughter, when the little wings begin to appear, lhis question as to the hours after schoo,; while the girl is in school you/ know where she is; after sho comes oul���������where? She must have .exercise, musthave the fresh air, must have re^ creation, play, frolic. Yet, with whom? And where? We older people know, that the streets of a groat town, or a Iittlo village, for that matter, are full of perils; we know the frights, the possible insults, the lures and snares. Yet we do not'quite wish to fully ex- . plain all these things to a child; tho explanation itself is-a tarnishing process. We do not like oui* child to look upon life with a horrible 'suspicion, nor hang the sweet outer air with ghostly shadows. Still, there is the tact���������it is a bad world. If the little girl ls oul after dusk, we know there are lurking dangers; and if she does not appear at the tea table, we know not where to seek her. One might as well look for a needle in a haymow, as to search for a person in a great town, when once that person has walked off your block. It is indeed necessary to cultivate a child in self-reliance. Tho good wife was right. You may coddl3 till you spoil. The child must learn to take v> care of herself, in a measure, and it wore better that sho learn it while you parents are alive to help her than after you are gone. Then, too, there , is no doubt that very sensitive natures imagine forty horrors which never did come and never will. There are parents who seem lo become careless of the whereabouts of their growing children; arid possibly their children get along just about as well as those over whom parents worry every minute that they are out of parental eyesight. This last sentence might be dispuled, but, for my part, I am sura thai my children were never one-half the care lo me while small that they have been since. I,-frankly confess that the most difficult thing has been for mo to know just how ftir to trust them to themselves, and how far to keep a vigilant eye upon them.

The Russian dances are of a vory stately description and both ihe emperor and empress take part in thorn very thoroughly. . The aspect of Ihe aimorial hall' where thj supper is often laid, is grand beyond all detcription. This meal is not partaken of standing, as at the I majority of courts, but the guests sit down at (he long rows of tables. A I procession is formed, which is headed by his imperial majesty and the most distinguished lady present, and the room is then entered in Lhe order of precedence.

It is far better to instruct lha young thing as to the wrongs ' and dangers of the outer world, than to leave her to discover these things. Discovery is attended with Che danger of exploration. Discovery has an de-. ment of the unreal and partial in it ;"' one wants to know more, ono is lured on by a false seeming of attraction. Far better, with your own clean lips, inform the growing youth of the hideous sins that lie in wait to catch young lives. You can picture tho thing in its native hatefuiness, and win half the baitle to begin with. Do not enter into noisome details; oxcito no curiosity; tell enough lo make lha evil seem dangerous, fatal and unattractive, but no more. I "If my child over can go alona I" But though a parent sigh thai, j'et a parent ought to know that none of us ever come to the time when wo can "go alone." Life is never safe. There ore dangers to young wings ; there are yec hawks for tho oldest wings. There is truth in Solomon's lament: "Tho day of one's death is better than tha day of his birth." That is, if he proposes not to bo a strong, vigorous, fighling, virtuous soui. We are all children. We are all at school, ,and must meet the bears in the woods-as we go and come. The protection of a keen wit, a pure heart and a watchful Providence���������these\ are as much needed by the young girl's mother,and father as by the child herself. The larger, tho game, the larger the beasts of prey; that's all the difference. Still,-for all that,1 it must ever remain true that the period of young plumes is tho period of peril, above all others. Tho new-found powers of appetite and passion, as also of thought and aspiration, knock with groat might against tho young breast. Without, these powers the child would be a stick, a..-flat; yet to manage them aright is the wisdom of age, and oven age fails. The two two infancies arc the safest times���������infancy of youth and infancy o:? old age ���������for then appetite and passions are quiescen.t.': ..Yet these are not the noblest periods of life, by any means.

This company has had long engagements in all the large cities of America. The baseball matchat New Denver 011 the 24th was not between Nelson arid Sandon, but between Nelson and a picked up team in. which a couple of Sandonites played. Mr. Compean's catching for Sandon was much admired, but' he could not do catching and fielding at, the same time. The school tdachers arc now giving this arithmetical quesLion to the pupils of the Slocan���������If Silverton footballers beat Sandonites 5 to 0 in three- quarters of an hour, how long will it take Sandon? to beat Silverton 10 to 0. The question can be solved-by what the Irishman calls "the rule of three. ^Quite half of the city of Dawson was devastated by fire oh the 2Gth of April. About $4,000,000 worth of property was destroyed,, in all 111 buildings. ' The Bank ot B. N. A. was the heaviest loser These towns are always more or le.--s fire traps, so that in heavy winds with very indifferent fire appliances general destruction is inevitable. 1 We do not think it would be money mis-spent if the city council would get up some kind of a bauquet for the Manitoba and N. W. Press association when they reach here, about the 15th of June. They could spend the day visiting the mines, arid, at a banquet at night, local speakers could fully advise them as to the resources ot our surroundings. The country around requires capital to develop it, and it is only by representing through the press and otherwise, that we have the opportunities for safe investments, that capital will be drawn this way. No doubt Rossland will give them a big boom, and Sandon should not be behind. .'.. ,.-. , r - The slides took the 24th, when all of Sandon was holidaying, to make, their annual visits. A land slide at Squire Lovatt's completely filled up the street,'but it did not move tho stable there. A second slide damaged trie flume leading to tho city water tank. It diminished the water supply for a time, which was a'goo.i thing for the hotels and breweries, as there was no w;here' else to get drinks. Tho Noble Five also came down with terrific force.' It forced the crook up hill and did much.damage to thc wagon road. On account ol the backwardness of the season the 'slides are late in putting in an appearance, and, if they are ail over now, the people will not coriiplain of the loss.
