McDonald, who went to the coast on business last week in connection with the Noble Five mine, returned home on Monday. , Logan MoPhee, who clerked wilh Jalland Bros, a vear ago, is spending a few weeks'holidays in Sandon! He is farming in the Kdinonton district. A party of four Sandonites, Robt. Langall, G, B. Knowlo", J. li. Fisher and Chas. Stein, left for A.-hnola on Thursday morning to look over that section of country while taking this trip. Some of them will likely go into business there. Mr. \V. W. Fallows returned Monday "from -Vancouver, where he went for medical ' treatment some days before. His complaint is an internal hemorrhage, huh he is assured by his doctjr that if he now-takes proper-rest he will shortly be as well as ever. Mr. A. C. McDonald, M. F. E., of Vancouver, representing Fairbanks tt Co., Montreal, was in town the Iirst of the week in connection with contracts for machinery for several mines around here. He expects to return in the spring and install them. Folliott & McMillan are tearing down and removing tha old Payne offices and ore shed to tlie siding at the mine. 'It is the intention to utilize the building a.s an assay ofiice and bunkbouse. The building of a concentrator on the property necessitates this change, which will also be advantageous in having all the offices together. James McGregor inspector of mines, returned to Nelson on Monday* from the Rambler-Cariboo mine, where he, was inquiring into the circumstances connected with 'the recent accident in wh ich one of the miners was killed and another seriously injured. The inspector found that no one was to blame for the accident but the- men themselves. , One day this week no less than 24 packages of goods reached here from Toronto by express! for miners. Some of the packages were from Murray's, some from Eaton's, but the bulk of them were from the Grown Tailor shop. Scores of these miners will abuse business men who do' not fight for them against the importation of scab labor for B. C, mines; but they live themselves on the importation of scab production from the'east. Consistent, very. Some eastern political prints are circulating the report that Gerald Sifton held for murdering his father at London, Out, is a cousin to Hon. .Clifford Sifton. We know they are related, but we believe the relationship is not as close as that. Even if it was or closer, it is.no reason the crime of one should bo flung at the reputation of the other. Men are not to blame for wh at their relatives are, hut for what they make new that Cain's themselves. We never father was condemne killed his brother. because Cain A fair audience attended Rev. C. M. Tate's illustrated lecture of B. C. in the Methodist church Monday evening. The Hunter-Kendr'ick Co: have just received a consignment of the'"Health Brand" all wodl ladies' underwear in all styles and at all-prices. Expresman Menzics has thrown up his position on' the K; & S., and left on Monday for Ontario, where he will look up a new location for business. ��������� Shady Giegerich has a newcoriuii- druni. He says,a yard of pork is three .pig's feet. This'is.on the. basis that 54 gallons of Ewill make a hogshead. ��������� The Great Northern are making arrangements with the Iv. & S. railway for a tlirough express systoni and a branch olhce will be established here, s A new Taylor safe was installed in the Filbert hotel yesterday, replacing the old one which after going through a month's emersion in Kootenay lake and two fires has gone out of commission. There are now all told but about 250 men working around Sandon. The improvements going on at the Payne preparatory to.the erection of a concentrator, and" the long tunnel at the Last Chance are about the only centres of stir. Miss McDonald, nurse at the hospital, "who was the unsuccessful candidate in voting contest for tho gold watch in connection with tbe bazaai, was presented with a handsome bracelet by the committee. Considering her short residence here, only a few months, her friends did remarkably well, as the contest was very close until near the end. In speaking" of railway matters the Vancouver Province says these are the "true facti" of the case. We were always Ind to believe there could not bo false facts���������that in short if a statement ' was false it could not. be a fact of any liescription, but then we- may "be mistaken. Alex. Crawford's house'may be said to be home of weddings. His daughter was married a few months ago, and now he has taken the notion himself, but his is a silver wedding, he and Mrs. Crawford having been married 25 years. The event will take place next week. He was married at 19 years of ago and i6 now 44. The Roman Catholic bazaar held last Wednesday was a decided financial success, as it netted for the church about ���������$1,000. Miss MoKinnon won the gold watch by a large majority, but she worked hard for.it. A great many took supper in the Miners'Union hall, including a good sprinkling of Protestants. This is only as it should be, as the Catholics of the place have ever been liberal in assisting Protestant gatherings with like objects in view. . The Rev. E. S. Rowe. of, Victoria, B. C, is making a lecture tour through the Kootenay and will visit Sandon next week, probably Thursday,' and deliver a lecture on the Labor Question. It is well to state that Mr. Howe is an authority on the subject, having made a special study of it. His lecture will be both interesting and profitable. The lecture will be given in the Methodist church, and a charge of 25 cents will be made for admission. In the case,of Sandilands vs. Warner at the Nelson assizes this week, word was recieved yesterday that the case was j thrown out by the presiding judge, Mr 'Competing Railways. Some people out in Vancouver are in high feather because they are going to have a terminus of a competing railway in the one end of the Great Northern li. It. There are two sides to every story, and there are two to this. It is quite true the C. P. R. got a large subsidy from the Dominion government for the construction of their transconti-' neiital line; but it must not be lost sigli-t of that the value of their land grant is simply one of their own creating���������that without the road much of it would be valueless. It must also be acknowledged construction for any sum at the time was a great venture, when even many of our most prominent parliamentary representatives declared operation would never pay for the grease on the wheels. If the original syndicate asked and got a large bonus at the time under such circumstances, they were entitled to it for their courage and risk. Jfagain they charge heavy rates in British Columbia it must not be for-' gotten, the costs of construction, repairs and operation are very heavy. It must also be remembered the company have very heaVy interests in all the provinces of Canada, and a full staff of officers and men spending large amounts in the country. These facts should assure the Canadian people, one and all, they can have no other desire in operation than the welfare of the country. Selfish they may be, as it is alleged all corporations are, but selfishness always involves a regard for personal interests from all standpoints, so that in the case of the C. P. Ii. it involves the advancement of the country to increase lheir own business and render the more valuable their own real estate and other similar assets. On the other hand the Great Northern can have no other- consideration for British Columbia interests than what it can make out of the country in profits of operation. Nothing more,look at the situation as we may. It will have such a staff of men in the country as may be necessary for the operation of its mileage, but all its head offices and high salaried and therefore heavy expending officials will reside in the States. Under all conditions and circumstances the branches in all parts of Canada will be employed as feeders for its Ameiican trunk, while the C. P. R. will ever have to,use its American trade as a feeder for its'Canadian trunk. These are circumstances that to all thinking minds must carry their own convictions. - It is not unlikely that at times these two lines may have their temporary rate squabbles, but the Great Northern having no Canadian purposes to serve���������nothing but payiug interest on investment, running expenses and feeding its American trunk, must have its pound of flesh though the heavens fall. As we said in a previous issue Ontario municipalities mortgaged themselves to the neck for competition, and now they have the mortgages and one system of roads. Manitoba sank itself in ha"a million of debt for a competitor in the Northern Pacific, and now the province is mortgaging again to purchase what it bought hut never got nine years ago��������� competition. It is said.-''experience teaclieR fools," but it very often fails in educating people who consider themselves wise. ' . Passing Events in the Ledge. "Papers like the Sandon Mining Review that are everlastingly bellyaebcing about "bad mining legislation" are not' only a curse to the community in which they are published, but are detrimental to the progress, of the mining industry throughout the .province. It is possible that some of the legislation that has been passed in "recent yeais can be bettered, and there is no doubt that it will be when its w.eak and faulty points are proven by practical test, but no amount of theorizing by such venile mouth.- - pieces as the Review can possibly bring about the desired end. -The mining laws of li. C._can not be proven either bad or good until they have been tried, and until they aro proven bad it is nonsense to talk about having them amended. When it is demonstrated by practical working tests wherein the laws are bad, amendatory legislation, can oasily bo got by those affected by it applying for it in the proper spirit and in the proper way." Lowery don't like the Mining Review; there is always too much common sense in it to please any buffoon, li tlie fanners of Manitoba bodily petitioned the government of that province for the repeal or modification of the agricultural, laws, the people would say unanimously the laws were bad" If thecattle ranchers of the Territories petitioned bodily for the repeal or modification of the ranching regulations of that district the people would collectively say the regulations were bad. The mine owners of B. C. the principal parties affected, after a three years', trial of some of our mining laws, and a longer or shorter wrestle with others of them, petitioned for a repeal or modification, and Lowery draws his slouch hat over his eyes, drinks his usual quart of bad whiskey, puts a cigar in bis gob, sits in his buffoon's chair and writes "give the'laws a trial before I know whether they are good or bad." It appears to us that after the principal. parties ��������� affected by them, have found them deficient, after a reasonable trial, it is a matter of little consequence to the country what Low- ery's opinions may ever be. In Tunnel and Stope. Warner's witness not even being examined. This dispute arose out of the sale of the Mountain Con mine sometime ago, Sandilands claiming he was in tinmen tal in the sale and entitled to commission for the transaction.

I am not sure that the sensation of delight which my stomach experienced at the sight of quince jelly, of which I am especially ''fond, did not shine forth from , my eyes and give vise to my hostess's rather pertinent, remark: "You are fond of quince jelly, are you not?" "Very," I replied; at tfre same time .raising my spoon containing, a generous portion, to my lips. "Yes, I am extremely fond of quince jelly," 1 continued, "but I never tasted any that could compare with this; it is delicious." "I am glad you liko it," said my friend. "My experiments do' not always prove satisfactory; rbut I must acknowledge that this is one of the exceptions. Let me explain. 1 had some quinces given mc���������a dozen ov more���������but hardly enough, I thought,' to be of much account. As I stood looking put of the window, -my Japanese quince bush caught my eye. . Why not eke out with a,.few of;these? If the jolly is good- J".l confess; if not, I'll say nothing about it. "I ran out and picked three of them, and then went to work. " I smiled while peeling and cutting the flinty things, at. the surprise, pleasant or otherwise, I was'preparing for the family; they never are quite sure of me." And she gave a smiling glance around the table. "Harry brought a friend home to tea one night; and as this was all I ; had on hand in. the shape of preserve T-was forced to use it; remembering that if anything was amiss, I-could throw all the blame upon1 the quality of my neighbor's .'quinces. I was obliged to explain, but not in the way 1 had anticipated. Now I always use a few Japanese quinces whenever I make jelly. Not only do they improve the flavor, but they also have a tendency to make the jelly firmer and clearer. I am careful not tip use too many as they are very tart. It is this acid quality that brings put the rich quince flavor; just as cur-" rants do when combined with rasp- , berries. I also have found by experimenting, that Japanese quinces alone, make a very nice jelly to eat with meat." My? friend's culinary ideas always are unique, and this one 1 thought, no exception. I resolved to profit, by it, at some future day, if she will supply me with the Japanese quinces ���������which she has promised to do. "What- are you going to do with these tea leaves?" 1 asked, a friend, one day. A heapiin: bowlful of tea leaves stood upon trie table, and my friend was equipped for sweeping. "I am going to put them on my farpet," she answered. . ��������� "for the fun of sweeping them up again?" I asked with a laugh. "Is it possible you never have heard of our grandmothers' method of sweeping a carpet, without raising the dust?" she asked. While she talked she industriously scattered the fragrant leaves' over her carpet. I watched her with much interest, as she seized her broom and went to work. I noticed that the 'dust which otherwise, would have been whirling around the room, remained wrapped up in jthc wet leaves which at last were gathered into a dust-pan. I also noticed that scarcely any dust had settled upon the furniture; and that her carpet looked as bright as if it had been washed. That - night11 began to save tea leaves, and have saved them ever since. It is very little trouble. I keep a large bowl into which I put the leaves, having first thoroughly drained them through a strainer. I ; never sweep a carpet without using them, with the exception of my parlor carpet, which is very light. Besides keeping down the dust, the wet leaves brighten the carpet wonderfully, and aro much easier to sweep up than salt, which also is used for &he same purpose;, pw* 'y^Sfi^B. Dame Europa���������"Now, boys, don't all speak for the wishbone." DINNER GIVING. To share another's salt was once considered a recognition of afiinity, of common interest, of camaraderie. Now, unfortunately, . the spiritual meaning is too often forgotten, and dinner-giving is perfunctory and burdensome. Decidedly the' reason why it is considered a disagreeable duty rather than an intimate pleasure is that dinner-giving has become largely an opportunity for display. Just to outshine her neighbors, if onlv by a hair-breadth, is the ambition of many a hostess. How often after the menu is written is an extra course added because one guest, who is to be present, had as many at her dinner last month or last year? Some women lie awake of nights to devise a new dish which..will awaken wonder and envy in the other women who are to dine with them. This is especially true in small towns where the same friends meet often at one another's homes; there is frequently a rivalry between neighbors which consumes time, money, and energy, and turns the rites of hospitality into an epicurean cult. One noted woman was taken unawares by a party of distinguished visitors whose letter , announcing their coming had somehow failed of delivery. They appeared just at dinner time,' tired and hungry. It chanced, in the perverse way that fate plans these things, that the servants had been given a holiday, and the family were about to sit down to a picnic meal of bread and milk and raspberries: There was no fire in the kitchen, and no time to cook anything had there been," so the unruffled hostess put more bowls of milk on the table and another dish of raspberries, and the guests sat down to what was undoubtedly the simplest meal of their lives. There was a.laughing explanation of the circumstances, but no apologies and no embarrassment. It is needless to sny that the strangers rated that, woman's tact above the roast beef and salad, and journeyed on to speak of her savoir-faire in a way to make other women envious. ��������� bag and pour sufficient into a deep pie dish to cover the bottom. When the jelly ho.s set, arrange on top of it a device in hard boiled eggs, put the largest slice of chicken in the *lccntrc of the dish, arrange some of the .other slices around it, pour iii another layer of the jelly, and leave it until set. Then put in the remainder of. the pieces of meat, arrange them tastefully, pour the .remainder of the jelly carefully over, and put it in a cold place. When the jelly is firm dip the dish in warm water, wipe it and turn the contents over on a dish upon, which is a folded napkin, garnish with a few sprigs of parsley and serve. , '; CHICKEN IN JELLY.

Put the pieces in a stew-pan with the iiver, heart and gizzard; add two bay ieaves a small bunch of parsley and thyme and half of a small lemon; pour in water to cover, season to taste with salt and pepper and boil the chicken very gently until tender. When cooked take it out of the liquor, cut the meat oil the breast in four long strips and cut the remainder of the meat into small pieces. Put the bones back in the saucepan with half an ounce of gelatine that has been dissolved in a small quantity of water and boil gently for fifteen or twenty minutes longer.

An old'Yorkshire farmer was walking out one day, looking very, glum and miserable. He was a, typical : Yorkshireman, and he dearly loved a ijoke ; but jokes seemed a long way off just then, and the old man was .thinking deeply, when he was accosted by a tramp, who made the usual request for a night's lodgings and ; something to eat, as he explained he had had nothing for two whole days. The effect upon the farmer when he said this was magical. | Why, man, he said, I've "been looking for you all day. And then, without more ado, lie knocked him down and walked on him from one end to the other. The .tramp got up looking very stagger- !e'd, and asked him why he had done I than. i Well, said he, my doctor has ordered me to waik on. an empty stomach and now that I have fulfilled his : injunction 1 can go and have a good feed, and you can come with me. And he led the tramp off. The Duke of Sutherland, with 1,- 358,000 acres, is the largest landowner in Great Britain. Next comes Lord Middleton, with 1,006,000 acres. The Marquis of Breadalbane has 43S.000 acres, Cumulus, or thunder-cloud, rarely rises above two miles. Probably no cloud rises more than eight miies^, ECCENTRIC VIEWS. Brilliant Offers Declined For Strange Reasons. It is not often the case that a man wilt refuse to accept a remunerative and facile appointment abroad merely because of a violent aversion to mosquitoes, yet such-was the reason put forward in all seriousness by a young English engineer for declining a position in Bombay. He ' averred that his dread of these tiny posts amounted to a positive monomania, and that he would rather abandon the most brilliant prospects than face tho insects iii question. --Absurd as the foregoing case may appear it is no "more ludicrous, than the case of a young governess who actually refused a very excellent situation in the family of a nobleman simply because her Radical views would1 not allow her to accept increment from a hereditary landlord. One would have thought that her political views might have been' sustained without injury whilst teaching little children to' read and write, but evidently the lady thought otherwise, and the brilliant offer was unhesitatingly declined. /Another young woman of eccentric views refused to accept a remunerative berth as private secretary to a well-known public man because tlie gentleman in question possessed red hair. She declared that her aversion to persons thus adorned was too great to be overcome, and that nothing: but starvation: would xompel her to undertake work which would bring her in contact with a man of fiery locks. Perhaps some other reason underlay her ridiculous behavior, but, at any rate, the motive named was put forward apparently with every sign of voraciousness, ONLY THE OTHER DAY a young librarian refused a very excellent post at ,a certain public library on account of the fact that the institution in question contained the works of an author to whom he had a very strong objection on principle. Perhaps some persons would admire this Quixotic behavior, but the absurdity of it must be obvious to all who reflect that his acceptance or refusal would not affect the issue of the books concerned. Rather foolish also was the conduct of a middle-aged Frenchman who some years ago declined a very remunerative position in a German firm in London because of his enmity to the nation to which the partners belonged. He stated that to accept payment from the former enemies of his country would be unpatriotic and improper, and he adhered to this ' queer line; of thought with steadfast, .persistence. When one comes to, consider how rare good situations are in these times the conduct of this gentleman appears all tlie more absurd. Perhaps, however, the most extraordinary reason on record for declining a "brilliant offer wasI that put forward by "a young lady who had been wooed by a very wealthy and altogether attractive suitor rejoicing in the somewhat inelegant name of Pigge. She stated that she liked the gentleman very, well indeed, but that she could not accept his proposal of marriage unless: he changed his name. The suitor naturally declined to do anything of the sort, whereupon he was at once dismissed,: and the foolish girl lost an excellent and wealthy husband by reason of her foolish prejudice. - ��������� AN ESTIMATE OF SUCCESS. And how is my old school friend Bimson getting on ? said the man who had returned to his native city after a. long absence. Oh, he's doing first-rate. But he was such a bright boy we always expected he would display especial ability. Well, I don't knpw that he hasn't displayed especial ability. I never hear him mentioned in connection with any of your elections. No ; that's just the point. He has shown ability to go ahead quietly and build up a business.. He doesn't have to run for office,. i British and Irish emigration during the past year shows a large increase compared .with 189^ SflWffi������Sfl S3 * / s f f. r ".���������s f.

C. fi������9G FIELDS GET TIKED. Growing' the Same iSort Year After Year. of Cereal You probably walked through a wheatfield on l������st year's holidays. Go through the same field this year, and you will find it has been growing barley, oate or perhaps clover. Why "is this ? It is because fields get tired . of. growing the same sort of cereal year after year. Plant a field with wheat one.year, and it takes to the business with enthusiasm, but put wheat there again the following year, and it. takes no interest at all in growing it. But if you substitute barley, oats, clover, or turnips, it knuckles down to the work readily, and turns out a decent crop. A field can't stand sameness. Thus it is that farmers never plant the same crop in the same fields in consecutive years, preferring to put each field through the whole course of cereal growing, before repeating any particular growth. If there is one crop which sickens a field sooner than any other it is ���������clover. Fields simply hate clover, and, after a year, of it, they get what is called "clover sick," a disease which upsets them for practical work for a .long J;ime, Fields which aro suffering severely from the complaint are sometimes given a rest for a season. Thus, it is that you often walk over an uncultivated! field during the summer, which is probably "clover sick," and ordered complete rest.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1901. FANCIES VS. FACTS. In its issue of Friday last week, the Nelson Tribune gave the following mines capitalized and paying ��� dividends the past "year as below: Capitalized. Dividends Bosun $ 250,000 $ 12,500 Centre Star 2,500,000 105,000 Le.RoiNo.2 3,000,000 144,000 North Star 1,300,000 117,000 Payne 2,GC0,O0O 78,000 St. Eugene 3,500,000 210,000 Rambler-Cariboo.. 1,250,000 12,500 Ymir 1,000,000 144,000 Total $16,400,000 ' JfS28,000 Our readers will see this is as nearly as possible five per cent on investment, and to this statement the Tribune replies: "These figures goto show that the shareholders in dividend paying mines have done on the average, as well as those who have capital invested in other industrial enterprises." - Now, no one knows better than Mr. Houston does, that this statement is in fact and intent wholly untrue, calculated to deceive the public, and to stir up the worst blood of the community. Supposing Mr. .Houston' were to enter all the Miners' union lodges of the continent and ask the men how many of them would be satisfied to invest their earnings at five per cent, how many of them would say "I." Not one in every thousand, and yet he endorses laws that compel another class of the community to accept less interest than the miners would volunteer to accept. Is this or is it not class, legislation? But these mines have not earned five percent, and perhaps not the half of it for their owners. Most ot the shareholders in these mines named have as much moneyrnbre invested in- other properties that have paid nothing, and may never pay anything. These are then developing the country, finding employment for men at $3,25 per day,and receiving but 21-2 per centoh their total investment, and Mr. Houston and other members of the legislature who are hunting for votes in elections say they should be tied down- by restrictive legislation, that they may be prevented from getting more for their.ihvestments. But there are other reasons too that these shareholders are not getting five per cent, and with characteristic dishonesty, Mr. Houston keeps these hermetically sealed from the sacred eyes of the miners with votes. At five per cent per annum it will take the shareholder just 20 years to get his own money back out of our mines without a cent of interest. By a computation it will be seen it will take: the shareholder 45 years to get his own money back and five percent on investment as long as he has any money in the mines. The question then is how many of these mines will continue for 45 years paying five per cent dividends? How many of them will be stoped out long before that? A man investing in railway stocks unwatered, bank stocks or similar security, is supposed to have a perpetual security, while the man who invests in mining stocks knows he has a security, but for a period of years at farthest. Now, Mr. Houston, is he not entitled to a larger interest in consequence? You know well he is, and still you daily endorse legislation and other crippling conditions that prevent him from getting it. Is this not the case? Is it.fair? Would FAT AND LEAN That is, babies: fat, they are happy and safe; lean, they are neither happy nor safe. Apart from being entirely healthy or not quite well, a fat one has much reserve of vital strength to resist any sudden attack, while the lean one has little or no reserve. The way to be fat and well is Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil. ��� A little: only a little. Not any, if healthy and plump already; "let well enough alone." We'll send you a little to try if you like. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists,- ��� Toronto. it not be infinitely more manly to come out and acknowledge the shareholders .of our mines are not making the money they should make, and that the legislature of the country is almost, wholly to blame for it. It is quite true that many a man has made undue profits out of the sale of properties in the country,that scores of others have made it by overstocking; but this in no way disproves the fact that B. C, one of the richest mining sections of the world, is so cursed with catch-vote and catch- revenue legislation, that there is nothing left for the thousands who purchase stock iu even our best paying properties. It appears to us that if the members of our provincial legislature could only seetheinjury theirtinkeringwith mining jaws of the last three years have done Caused by overwork? No, caused b y undernourishment. . Work rarely causes collapse. It is worry���the outcome of a low condition of the nervous system and inadequate nutrition which generally causes collapse. The collapse seems sudden, but in reality it is. a slow process. The stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased, the nourishment in the food eaten is only partially extracted and imperfectly assimilated. The blood becomes impure; the very fount of life is poisoned, and some day ah" the faculties and functions go on a strike. That's collapse. -Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the organs of digestion and nutrition, purifies the blood and builds up the weak body with sound healthy flesh. "I was cured of a very bad case of indipestiou associated with torpid liver, by the use of Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Mr' G. B. Uird, of Byrnside, Putnam Co., W Va "Before I began the use of'Golden Medical Discovery' I had no appetite; could not sleep nor work but very little, bowels constipated, and life was a misery to me. After taking four bottles I felt so well that I went to work, but soon t'ot worse, so I used it about eight weeks longer when I was permanently cured."

Go where you will in the eastern'provincesand you will find men loaded with B.C. mining stock, blacken ing tbe reputation of-the country as fast as they can because their investments are unprofitable. There is no questioning the fact many of these were very folishly made without the caution the holders- would employ in other purchases. , Many others" again, in overstocked corporations that can never pay well as a consequence. But overlooking these there are many investments made in properties that are not paying, but would pay if they were worked. There are several of these in our acquaintance,and the reason they are not workedls because the-management cannot secure the necessary additional capital to do it, ��� Houston, of the Nelson Tribune, never tires telling all the capital^the country needs can be got in the face of the present legislation because some people can get wliat they require. He does not, however, tell the country all mining men are not similarly circumstanced���they have not the same connections with money centres. There are some men so situated they can get what money they require on their own financial standing, others can get it only through established financial relations, but the great majority can only get it on the value of what they have to offer men already loaded with non-productive investments. Cannot anyone, with half an eye see that in all such latter cases it is necesFary for the applicant to show there is no legislation in force and none likely to b'e adopted that can in any way interfere with or hamper operations? Capitalists the world over know that under the most favorable circumstances there is risk in mining investments, and when these are doubly intensified by hampering laws and regulations, the country cannot hope to prosper. What is wanted is legislation that gives freest intercour^e'between capital and labor, that reduces government taxation to a minimum and that insures the purchase of all mining requisites at the least possible cost, and a government assurance that these conditions will not be interfered with. Under such circumstances a revival would, set in that would soon employ all our unoccupied men at fair wages,that would revive the operations of other industries, and set business fairly on its feet again. With our mines all shipping and paying.taxa- tion to meet the requirements could be safely imposed without damage to the growth and prosperity of the country, 44 MONEY BACK." r"i What do we mean by money back?

It is felt or imagined too often, forced on representatives by questionable influences, that the province labors under certain disabilities; and without fully canvassing the consequences legislation is introduced for temporary relief. The average voter looks no'farther, and the author of the temporary relief bill becomes ''the lion of the hour." No country can ever rise to the status nature.designed it to take, with such legislation the object of our public men, much less a country with the natural capabilities of British Columbia. No one for a moment, for instance, believes that Ontario is settled as thickly, as its supporting capabilities war-, raiit;' and yet B. C. with all the capabilities of our eastern province and mote, settled as thickly as that province- is today, would ' contain noarly the , present population of the Dominion. Now, the question is how many of our members of parliament are looking at the future of tlie country in this light? How many desire our every legislative enactment to be a brick in a foundation for such rosiilts? British Columbia has in its iron, coal, copper; gold and silver-lead mines, a store of wealth capable of maintaining, in first operations on the way to advanced industries, and of employing huri- ,-dreds of thousands of operatives. In its coal and wood supplies, all but inexhatiptible, it lias the menus of converting these minerals when exhumed, into all the manufactures of modern requirements, capable of employing profitably hundreds of thousands of other operatives in all the methods of advanced manufactures. In its fisheries, agricultural and ranching lands, and fruit- growing districts; the means at hand of supporting these miners and artisans, giving employment to millions more. With all, li?has a water supply and an atmosphere unsurpassed for healtlifulness by any country on the globe. These are the prospective capabilities and future ofLhe country, and how mativ of our parliamentary representatives grasp the situation and are inoulding circuinstances and conditions to bring them about? It certainly can- not'be accomplished by the legislative ways of the past. It should be ihe duty of our public ���������men to have, as a just consideration for the best .means of bringing nr the capital the country needs, ready i'aeili- iies for employing it freely, carefully guarding against the locking up of our resources and investments; arid with these conditions assured every facility for the best wages to labor would be fully afforded.

Crime Spoilt a Chemist's Trade��������� Made a MilHner Bankrupt. i Some years ago England was startled by the story of the discovery of mutilated human remains in White- chapel. Henry W&inright had murdered Harriet Lane, and, in due course he paid the penalty. Waiin- right had a brush shop, which had been sufficiently profitable to enable hir.'i to maintain a wife and family in good circumstances; but the trade vanished after the discovery of the crime���������even pity for the unfortunate family was not strong enough to counteract the evil influence, and the place was turned into a boot-factory. 11 r NcilL spoilt a business that had been built up at a great cost by others. A firm of chemists hit upon the idea of enclosing nasty-tasting, but necessary medicines in gelatine capsules, whereby it was easy for the most fastidious or weakly: persons to take such physic and retain it. Medicine is generally nasty, so it was no wonder that the idea caught on-. For about ten years the trade flourished, and then Cream took advantage of the capsules to fill some with strychnine and present them to several of his lady friends; when this wholesale poisoning became known, the sale dropped to nothing, as people would not look at the capsules, to say. nothing of taking them. A; like instance occurred more recently iu New York, where poison was sent to a woman in a. particular make of headache powder Good for Bad Teeth. Hot Bad for (Good Teettv Sozodont Liquid 15c Large Liquid and Powder 75c AU stores or by mail lor the price. Sample lor postage aa .HALLs$JfcUCKEL,. MONTREAL That trade ruined a legitimate, if gruesome, trade. It is' now thirty years since the murder of a woman at Eltham created a great sensation all over England. A printer was accused of the crime and acquitted, but the suspicion was very - prejudicial to his trade, which, however, survived the blew instead of going under entirely, as so many have. What happened iro a baker's shop in London about three years ago will be fresh to most of us. A journeyman baker, having lost his situation, brooded over what he considered to bo his, "wrongs" till hebe- can.e mentally deranged. He obtained shelter for the night in the bakehouse, under some pretence, and then murdered a young German who had been engaged in his situation. ' He nearly killed the proprietor in the same manner���������namely,; by the horrible method of..baking him!'.People would on no account buy their bread from that shop, and the premises, had to be closed. Poison in special makes of pickles and chocolate creams are two further instances of trades being ruined by There j crimes committed by others than the the head, and both entirely independent in action. These ants i.lay a leading part in the marriage'.ceremony. The night before the .ceremony the villago priest goes out by tlie light of the 'moon and opens' ah ant hill with secret "ii.ps, and carefully selects some ants, equal in number to the number of suitors. These arc kept with care. "After the bride has kissed all tlie suitors in turn*they go out to the hut where, the ants are kept. The priest is there, and he takes an ant by' the body and allows it to faster the lower mandible to the forefii.ger ���������of the right hand of a young man. These ants are ' about an inch and a half long and have tlie most ferocious bite you can imagine. Then each suitor with an ant hanging to his forefinger, the young men go back to the presence of the bride. Then there arc long and elaborate rites, while the young men go round and dance before the bride, each with a monstrous ant hanging to his finger. Then she is blindfolded and the young men- are lined up for the selection. "The drums aro beaten with renewed vigor, and the bride goes a- long the line of suitors and inserts her forefinger in the upper mandible of the ants that hang to the fingers of the suitors, each in turn. The first ant that closes his pinccr on the digit of the" fair lady wins her for the man to whoso finger it is ���������hanging. Then tho chosen bridegroom strikes the ant to the ground and crushes it with his. heel, and in conies the priest .and marries the couple. Afterward the ants that have been used in the ceremony are taken out and cooked, and a portion is given to each guest to be eaten liko the wedding cake in civilized lands." .-. __ ^_ .',��������� RIEUIATIO PAINS.

Primitive methods of catching fish are in vogue among the natives of the Congo. Sometimes they poison the water and occasionally fish with a hook and line, but their favorite instruments of destruction are funnels, shaped somewhat like ordinary eel pots, from \which no fish, having once entered, can escape. A small funnel of this kind is called a "nsoso" an������l is made of thin strips of palm. A fish can easily enter, but as soon as he tries to get out lie finds the exit barred by tho ends of the strips, which come together just inside the broad..cn- trance. When, the water is .rising and falling fish can easily .be caught in this way.' . Larger and longer funnels, known as "nswa," arc also used. They are made of broad strips of palm or of branches ������������������ of other trees, ��������� and are found very effective in rapidly flowing rivers. First, the river is dammed, and then a- number of openings arc made, in it, behind which the "nswas" are placed. . Through tho force of the current the fish are driven into the openings, and once there they cannot get out. Some of the fish caught in these funnels are of enormous size, frequently, indeed, so large that two boys find it no easy task to carry one of them home. SUNDAY CLOSING IN FRANCE. A very remarkable demonstration took place recently at Niincs. About 1,100 shopkeepers' assistants and employes inarched the streets of the ancient city, bearing banners with the. inscription, "Buy nothing on Sundays." Many of the shops were closed, and those that were opened were respectfully summoned to follow the good example. Nearly all of them gave a favorable responso by putting up their shutters at once. It is notable that not a single disorderly incident occurred. The Sunday closing movement in France has. of late made enormous strides, and its effect may be seen even in Paris itself. , Rheumatism is one of ��������� the ��������� most' common and at tho same time one of thc most painful affections from which humanity suffer. It alTccts the joints and muscles, and is characterized; even in its simplest form, by a dull constant pain. While it remains^ in the joints and muscles, it is sufficiently painful and distressing, but as it is liable to attack the vital organs, such as the heart, thc disease becomes a source of danger, and in many instances it has proved fatal. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills possess qualities for the. cure of this disease which arc unequalled, by any other ���������medicine. Mr. Cyrus Laniond, a well known resident of Stadacona, "Que., bears testimony to the wonderful curative powers of these pills. To a reporter'of tho Telegraph,Mie gave the following story:���������"Until some three years ��������� ago I always enjoyed thc best of health, but about that time I was attacked with, what proved from the outset to be a severe case of rheumatism, from which I suffered great torture. I tried a number of the supposed cures for this disease, but none of them benefited me. I seemed, to be constantly growing worse, so I called in a physician, but as his treatment did not give me relief, I sought the assistance of two other doctors, but they also failed to help me. My appetite left me;, my strength gradually ebbed away; one of my legs, was drawn out of. shape, and I was never free from pain." ,1 was in despair of, ever being well again,, when one day a relative brought me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills'.' and urged me to take them. He seemed to have such great confidence in the pills that I determined to follow his advice. To-day.I am happy that I did so, for with the use of less than a dozen -.- boxes of these pills the pain from which I suffered so much is all gone, and I feci stronger and healthier thanT did before This I owe to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I would ' strongly urge similar sufferers to give them a trial." :���������' ���������.'.;, Experience has proved Dr. Williams' Pinlc' Pills to DC without an equal as a blood builder and nerve restorer. It is this power of acting directly on the blood and nerves that enables these pills to cure such diseases as rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, locomotor ataxia, paralysis, and all the ordinary diseases of.the blood and nerves. These pills are sold'by all. dealers in medicine, or can be had cby mail, postpaid, at 50c a box, or six boxes for .. $2.50, by addressing the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockvillc, Ont. , The Great Eastern holds the record among British lines of having carried 109,411,G48 passengers in a year.

Past Mas- ��������� A Scotch King- Edward VII. ter in the Art Minister's Reply. There are probably few men living who can fashion a compliment or frame a happy retort with more skill than King Edward VII. ; or, when occasion demands it, can more effectually crush rudeness or presumption. Only a few weeks ago, when a beautiful young countess inadvertently interrupted the King when he was speaking and apologized .with blushes and confusion, the King, with a low bow, bade her continue, saying, with a smile, "When Lady speaks Kings may count it a privilege to be silent." On aiiuuiur occasion, wnen a pretty young debutante, the 'daughter of one of his oldest friends, was deploring the fact that the sun would not make his appearance, the Prince, as he then was, smilingly answered, "Ah ! you see, Miss -���������, the sun is vevy human after all. He cannot brook a rival." This reminds one of perhaps thc most charming compliment - ever paid by a man to beauty. In the old days, when it was customary for Scottish ministers to bow to thc chief members of the congregations as they entered the church, Dr. Wightman, of Kirkmaheo,' omitted one morning to notice thc entry of Miss Miller, the daughter of his chief parishioner. When the young lady reminded him playfully of his oversight the courteous old man replied, "I beg your pardon, I am sure ; but surely Miss Miller knows that angel-worship is not permitted by tho Church of Scotland." For promptness and cleverness it is doubtful, whether Dr. Wilberforce's retort to Lord Palmcrstou 7 HAS EVER BEEN BEATEN. It may bo remembered that, when the famous Bishop and Lord Palmerston were guests in a country house Dr. Wilbcrl'orcc elected to walk , to church, leaving the statesman and, other guests to drive in a closed carriage, as they feared the rain. When the carriage overtook the pedestrian, who was, at the time, trudging through the heavy rain,- Lord Palmerston put his head out of , the window, and shouted to speak," would persist in exclaiming: "Stay, stay ! let me speak." After Mr. Gilbert was weary of correcting her he lost patience and said: "'No, Miss , you must not say that; it isn't 'stay, stay,' but simply 'stay'���������one 'stay' you know, not a pair of stays." "The answer that turneth away wrath" was never better exemplified than by a French Abbe who had offended Conde, and sought an interview to make his peace with the great man. When Conde saw the Abbe he rudely turned his back on him. "Thank God," the Abbe said, "that your Highness docs not at all, consider me an enemy." "What makes you think that, M. Abbe?" the Prince asked, in ' surprise. "Because, your Highness," the Abbe artfully answered, "no one would ever accuse you of turning your back on an enemy." What could Conde do but take the diplomatic Abbe into favor again ? ^ HOW IT IS DONE. Why Lightning Turns Sour. Milk body knows, gases���������oxygen these gases not combined. ne'er consents promptly an- It sometimes happens, not always, that milk will turn sour during a thunderstorm. It is not always the lightning that causes it, for the heat before the storm is often great enough to make the milk ferment. But lightning can, 'and sometimes does, make milk, turn sour by its action on the air. Air, as every- is -composed xof two and nitrogen ; but arc mixed together, Lightning, however, makes tho gases combine'in thc air through which it passes, and this combination produces nitric some of which mixes with the and turns it sour. Perhaps it might be well to plain the chemical difference between mixing and combining. When different ingredients are put together without their undergoing any chemical change they are mixed ; as, for example, grains of sand of various colors may be mixed in a bottle. But when: the property of each ingredient is altered by the union, there is a combination ; as, for example, water poured oh quicklime, which .combines with it, so that the property of each is altered. Thus it is that lightning makes the oxygen and nitrogen of the air combine, and the result is no longer air but nitric acid and four other nitrous poisons. acid, milk' ex- -*- A, candle once extinguished may never be relighted in an Austrian royal palace^ "Soapy Sam " :-��������� "How blcslt: is he who By ill advice to wall- to 'which thc Bishop swered :��������� "Norstands in sinners' ways, nor ��������� ��������� sits .,-,' ���������'..���������',:'���������" Where men profanely talk." ������������������������������������' Lord Braxfield, a Scottish judge, famous for his wit in retort, was very much annoyed ono day, when! presiding over the Court of Session^ at the failure of one of his brother judges to appear.

" answered , Braxfield. "That's a very gude excuse, indeed ; and I wish we had a' the same." In much humbler circles the temptation to make an effective retort proves equally irresistible. Not Jong ago the following advertisement appeared in a Yorkshire paper :��������� I, Thomas Green, hereby declare that I will no longer be responsible for the debts of my wife, Elizabeth Green.

Now, the Socialists of Nelson advocate 'government ownership of the mines, jntimating inferential]}* that in that event, the miners would get increased wages, all.the money the mine owners are now .making. If this idea eventuated, it is an absolute certainty they would have to bear all the losses made in mining as well the profits, so that in the end their triumph might not be aa great as they imagine it would be. 'For instance, if all the mines in the countiy were valued tomorrow at an upset figure of 100 millions the government would have to' borrow this money paying for it, for as risky a> business as mining is at least four per cent., To this would have to be added at least one per, cent more for cost of management. This total five per cent would .'have to be made the first charge on the earnings. As again, no one could expect the property holdeis of the country to put up in taxes for the development of new properties or the losses in operating the old ones, these drains would have to come out of the earnings of the paying mines before schedule wages could be agreed on.
