%^# VOL 3. NO. 16. SANDON, B. C, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1899. FIVE CENTS. I I: [v ;. I Are Detrimental to Aay Camp Should Be Discouraged. E*-- There are mining men and mining mon. There are mines and mines. There are prospects which do not deceive, and there are wildcats that dis- gust men with mines an si mining. A mining camp with but a single paying lode running through it oilers a good field for the wildcat mining broker or speculator. Virginia City, Nevada, is a place in point. The Comatock was a paying proposition wherever it was struck. It made'Virginin. City famous. Men made fortunes in mining upon the Gomstock and in dealing in its " shares. But the Comstock didn't make wildcats pay, but it made them sell, and many men lost their all in trying to make something out of them. Esmeralda, Austin, Pioche and'.other *" points in Nevada had their rich mines; they also had their wildcats. The latter "queered" the former. Wildcat propositions are a curse to any mining centre. They breed doubt and distrust of really good lodes,- for "the same confident, apparently honest, busiinsshke representations arc employed to dispose of a wildcat that are used to sell the former. But, happily, the clay of the wildcat has long since passed away in old mining centres. Every tub must stand upon its own bottom, and about every mining man in established camps knows the bottom of every prospect hole and mining shaft in the district. The mining fakir has long ago lost his appetite for them, and gives them a wide berth. He has been, and is still, hunting for newer and greener pastures. Butte has been singularly free from mining fakirs, not, perhaps, because all mining brokers and dealers"in'mia- . ing stocks are sprouting angelic wings, but because the Butte mining field is comparatively barren of wildcats. The man who strikes favorable looking rock will stay by it, fearing he may lose a bonanza in its sale. He, will take the chances and revel in anticipations of wealth as long as the prospect lasts, not being disheartened and ready to throw up the next location because the previous one failed hirh. The true minerstays by his pick, pan and shovel all the time. He doesn't know what the words "give up" mean. Butte has men who are miners from, the ground up; it has no wildcats to speculate upen. But wildcat propositions can find their way in Butte as well as they can , among the most credulous ., Jakes in the;middle states, for the field of the mining fakir is boundless,though the field of "suckers" may be limited. Butto suckers are as scarce as contribution boxes in the dives; imported ones may now and then be seen as ready to buy a few feet of wildcat, if they have the money, aa they are to purchase "buffalo" horns furnished by our slaughter housee and prepared ,by "native" Indians from Canada. These wildcats-are represented as being next to or near the discovery claim, which discovery has cruzed the mining cen-' tres in the west so long. They are good cats to let run Wild.. California and .Nevada, Utah and Colorado have each in turn had them. Idaho, Washington, Oregon and British. Columbia ui'V fet loose a few, but each of tnem . has too many really valuable."-mining properties to be injured by tlie bite of the wildcat. In fact the teeth of the animal are about all extracted. The west has been half a century looking alter and worrying the festive, animal. ���������There arc only a few of them left, but they are camping on the trail.���������West- em .Alining Woriil, Butte.'Montaha.. several deals," ho continued, "which were indefinitely postponed when Mr. Martin's law came in force, and a more gratuitous piece is hard to imagine. The position is this. The Transvaal is closed to the British investor for the and time being. The Weitralia.i goldfields, in spite of the intermittent professional booms aro not seriously regarded by the provincial investor���������the backbone of the stock Exchange, and British Columbia, which has hitherto had no black marks against its name, was the iirstfavorite for the ever accumulating millions of English merchants and trudcrs. Just at the critical moment when a large influx of capital was gradually .assured Joe Martin brings in this quite uncalled for eight- hour law and the inflow is checked��������� absolutely. It is difficult to conceive how your representatives at Victoria could have permitted this professional agitator to ruin your prospects in the way he has done. There is still an opportunity���������now before the Transvaal question is settled���������if you immediately suspend this law, of attracting British capital. You have everything to offer. Your past record is excellent, you have every mineral except tin, an excellent climate, good mining laws, the finest water and railway accommodations of any mining country in the world and are under the British flag. I would most strongly urge upon you- to remember this���������There is a surplus of money seeking investment in the old country today which may be attracted towards your mines, but if this opportunity is missed and the Transvaal is again pacified you may have to wait long years before you can win the attention of the British investor, and they are the people who alone have sufficient money to develop this grand country as it deserves." III A Review of Affairs in tne Past and Present. Slocan, our not The Easiness Outlook. The business men of the city very naturally complain at the condition of trade,, but neither the miners nor the mine owners aro in any respect to blame for it. Neither of them asked for the law that has brought about the the prevailing stagnation���������it is all on the shoulders of the government. While, however, there has been but little shipping done in the ������������������vicinity since the first of Juiip, unprecedented development has been going steadily ori, and machinery has been added to increase the output. From indications, it is safe to say that whenever the mines do start up, shipping for many months will quite double that of a corresponding period of,any previous year of the camp.' . With all it is a case of wait, but -we are more than conyincod that waiting will bring its reward. Moat of the properties have large bodies of assorted ore lying on country | the dumps and in the tunnels, whilo many others qfj.hnm have ore blocked out ready to be knocked down in a clay or two after operations resume. But this is not all ��������� The list of shippers of last year will be quite doubled, all guaranteeing unprecedented business lor those who wait for it. Stock Quotations. THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW. , The Slocan stock's remiin firm, and show, signs of buoyancy should an occasion permit for a 'healthier, and broader market. If the labor trouble' in that district, which'has for so long been a disturbing element, should come to a satisfactory and final termj ination, all Slocan stocks would feel tbe immediate benefit; 500 shares of Slocan Sovereign sold at the first of the week at 37, and 1000 shares of Rambler Cariboo at 4'Ji.

Lefroy, the managing director of the'British Columbia Review, which is the only weekly journal published in London devoted entiiely to Canadian miniug and financial affairs, was at the ' Hotel Phair, Nelson, and was seen by a representative of the Miner. He congratulated our representative on the firm stand which the Miner has taken on the question Of the eight- hour law which, he said, has done more harm in London financial circles than any previous blunder made by the government. "Nothing," he said, ''is so "inimical to the investment of British capital as labor troubles. I know of Haney Got the Contract. We notice there are some of Eastern contemporaries who do fully understand the mining situation in the Slocan, and for their information we make some explanations. From the opening of mining operations in 1S92, up to Janu.u-y last, the owners had been paying the men $3.50 for. nine hours night shifts and ten hours day, and out of which the men did not put in more than nine hours actual work all around. They did 3evcn days work in the week and paid SI a day for board. In most cases the board and "accommodations were highly satisfactory, and where they were not the law of the last couple of years made provision for the men to board and lodge themselves. Considering the mild climate and the cost of requisites for the last two or three years, that was a liberal wage; and, so far as the public knew the^circumstances, both parties ��������� employers and employees���������were' fully satisfied, making no'efl'ort to-effect changes. In some of the camps; Rossiand, for instance, hand drillers got but $3.00 a day. With things working this way harmoniously and agreeable to both,"though it must be admitted that while there were many very effluent workmen in the camp there were some poor ones and all got their $3.50 for hand drilling, the shyster politician appeared on the scene to" advance his own selfish purposes. At the last session of the House, and towards its last hours, a Bill, a day or two before thrown out in committee, was smuggled through reducing tho working hours of the men to eight, and, tacked on to an act two years old, imposing heavy penalties for violations of any of its sections." Tnis. of course, deprived both' owners and employees of all right to contract for more . than eight hours and limiting the earning po.vers of the men, no matter what might betbeir wishes or those of the employers in the premises. ��������� Now, apart altogether from the deprivation of tne rights of the individual to hire or work if the circumstances, we might say, were to the advantage of both owners and men, there are other featurs of the act that are, fairly considered, unjust all around. There is no denying the fact that in eight hours work the valne is reduced to the employer, and he says to the employees, "As the law prevents you and me from making a contract by which I will get previous service fr0m you, and for which you always expressed yourself as fully paid, 1 must reduce the pay for reduced work." _^t this the miner demurs. He say8) "I must get the previous pay or nothing, though you do not get the previous work. The law may be a harsh one, biit.I did not ask for it, and as it turns things m my favor I endorse it.'.' The owner stands on his position of right, shuts up his mine and says, "I will look' around and see if there is not some means of restoring the quid pro quo I formerly got." In the interval the business people of the community are broughr to the verge of ruin ; the capital'that was coming this way to develop, our properties and find work for thousands more miners'.at.'33.50"a day goes into other channels; commerce generally collapses; the government loses revenues that should be oxpoiided on public works; aiid the ward,politicians, who with their small oalibro are a curse to any country, are laughing in their sleeves in the hope of being able, through the general distraction of the act, to secure in elections the mining vote of the country. This they considor a full recompense for the several years' set back which their infamous, and herotofore unheard of, act has riveted on the country. give them as much information as any private individual, and 113 any man who has a lot of business of his own to look after could be expected to give, that is not enough. Visitors want to know,, what the dividends and shipments of our surrounding properties have been, where they are located, how the trails run, what prospects there are tributary to the place, generally speak- what properties can be bought, their prices and prospects, what is the cause of our present strike or lockout, the prospects of settlement, the effect on the surroundings and a hundred and one other such items of information With a Board of Trade ail these would be collected and in the hands of the secretary. The gleaning of these facts and others of a kindred nature would cause visitors to remain over instead of coming in on the C. P. R. and going out on the K. &. S. and vice versa. Apart from this, a Board of Trade would be made up of all classes���������merchants, hotel keepers, miners, mine owners,, professional men and mechanics, and their conclusions on public matters would be a great help to the city council. In short their resolutions -would be a guide to the council as to public expenditures, improvements, etc. We should like inuch' to see the qitizens take hold of the matter. The fees need be but nominal, merely enough to keep the institution going. ' (. ARRESTED -AT DONALD. Two Young Londoners Charged With Stealing $57,000 in Bonds Traced to Kootenay by a Scotland Yard Detective. Mineral Found on a Wagon Road. The building of the Mollie Gibson mine wagon road may possibly make others besides contractor Hawley independently rich. A mile and a half out the rsad winds around a big iron- capped bluff. In crossing the bluff two good sized veins were cut. One carried ore that assayed ������25 in gold, and the other galena that assayed well. It is the opinion of those who are acquainted with the country,���������that the building of the road will lead, to the discovery of veins that will v.pay to work. Greenwood Camp. The tracklayers are seven miles this side of Grand Forks, or fifteen miles fro oi Greenwood. The Board of Trade has petitioned the government to invest the mining recorders at Midway and Grand Forks with the powers of Gold Commissioners. The crosscut in the Morrison at tho depth of 220 feet is 66 feet in ere, and has not yet struck the hanging wall. The values average $12 in gold and 3 per cent in copper. On the Snowshoe a very big strike was made in the railway cutting disclosing 75 feet of ore in a lead, which has been traced for oyer 700 feet up and An important arrest was made at Donald last Monday bv Detective Tom Abbott, of Scolland Yard, nnd Serg. H efferman, of the North West Mounted Police, in connection with a theft of 557,000 worth of Buenos Ayres bonds, which were recently stolen from a well known London firm of South African brokers. It appears that about a couple of months ago H. Christie and W. G. O. Crick, two young Englishmen bound for Klondyke,' stayed over en route at Donald to enjoy some fishing. They were well supplied with money, which they spent freely. While they were there a pack train was being organized to go to Tete Jaune Cache and they made arrangements to' go with it. Christie, however, only got as far as Summit Lake, when he had to return- owing to an injury to his foot. On reaching Donald he took train back for the east and is known to have arrived in the old country. Some days afterwards the detective and police sergeant, who had traced .the party up, arrived and made enquiries at Donald, with the result that they decided to await the return of Crick at Donald. Last Monday the pack train returned and was stopped at Wait-a-Bit bridge by - Serg. Hell'erman, who arrested Crick on the spot and took him to the- Mounted Police headquarters. ��������� Christie was a confidential clerk of the firm' from which the bonds were stolen, and is accused of having used his_ opportunities to abstract them', while Crick, who is something of an actor, disguised himself and affected the negotiations by which they were converted into������8,000in gold sovereigns.. Only about $5,000 of the money has-', been traced and, the-balance-is-sup-- - posed to be'in London. Crick stoutly protested when arrested that;a great' ���������' mistake had been made and that he could satisfactorily account for any money he had and could easily clear himself. PERSONAL MENTION.

Punctually at ten o'clock .Eva presented herself' at' Westbrook .Grange, and was sho.wn into a siiiall room, overlooking a portion, of tho flower gardens and thei park. Here sho was lofti alono and her eyes wandered about the aiiari- rnenl, then rested upon the view outside, and she impulsi/ely rose to her feet lo admire ils beauiy. The gorgeous flowers, close to the house, watted nweetest. odors through' the open window, but, it was i. not the delicious 'IMi'rfumo that attracted her attention. On a lawn, at some distance from where she stood, was a young man with a couple of huge mastiffs, and several puppies of lhe same breed gamboled .about: him. The parents of the puppies looked formidable animals, but Eva thought how dearly she would like to have a good romp, with the little ones, and so absorbed was she in watching them . that she **hever once noticed their master. Ho wat3' riot so blind to her appearance, however. Strictly speaking, I suppose, Eva Randolph was not beautiful. Hor face was, in shape, a perfect oval; her complexion was 'of a rich, smooth, creamy tint, ..but., rarely flushed with a rosy hue, and her eyes were large, dark and liquid, with "deeply-!ringed, curling lashes that were almost black, though her hair1 was of a warm, rich brown. People looking at her 'critically were wont to.pronounce her to bo interesting and uncornirion-looking rather than pretty; aud Ernest: ; Westbrook was wondering who she was and whence she came, when he saw his stately mother join her. " You are watching,my son?" asked Mrs. Westbrook, laying her hand on the girl's shoulder. "No; I was watching those dear little puppies;" was the reply; "I was thinking how much I should like to nurse them. But I beg your pardon, ���������; ma'am,' she added, suddenly recollecting herself;" shall I begin my. work?" , " Yes,1? replied, the' lady ; "but take Dff your hat and capo; you will work In this room' to-day." Eva obeyed, and soon after sho was absorbed in repairing some rare old point lace. - I Nothing.more was said about the pup- j pies, or about the young squire, "and| not a'single. remark was made or quea-j tion -put /to the girl concerning herself or'her dead fathor. About one o'clock a servant brought her some, dinner. A very nice dinner it was, and very unlike what she was' accustomed to; but it was served up ".��������� to her alone, and youth .wants compan-i ���������".'..-! lonship even with the choicest viands. I The weather was hot, the day was, -, vfonderfully bright ,and Eva began to I feel tired and sleepy and to long fori freedom,' if only for half an hour, when Mrs. Westbrook again visited her. "How are you getting on?", she. asked kindly, The', girl replied by displaying her Work, huti she did so, with a half-suppressed yawn which betrayed her weariness, and the lady said sharply: ," You are sleepy I" ''It is the . warm'weather,"., replied Eva, in.an apologetic tone; "and then' I anil not used jfco sit at work vory long i without having to run errands, or'mind! the children, or do something about thej hotuso. If you would let me take a1 , short walk, ma'am, I shall be able to work on' till evening." ," We will both go for a walk in the park, and we can talk of something I have been thinking of this morning. Put on your hat and wait for me in the garden outside." | A fewi minutes later the lady and thej orphan girl, were walking, side by side] Under the shade of the tall trees. "How long has your father been| dead ?' was Mrs. Wcstbrook's first ���������question. "Five years, ma'am,' " You remember him, I suppose T" "Oh, yes, very well; and 1 remember my own mamma, tooi" "Ah! What was she like? And who was she?" asked Mrs. Westbrook, with increased interest. " She.was very beautiful, ma'am, and before papa married her, I think her name wau Gordon." " What I Evangeline Gordon? You have no portraits of them, I suppose?" " Yes,, ma'am ; I always wear their portraits in this locket; it was given to me when my mother died." And so saying, sadly and almost) reverently, Eva detached a locket which hung round her neck.' For some lime Mrs. Westbrook looked at tha two faces steadily, then sho closed the locket suddenly, and handed it| back.to the girl. Where she spoke again her tone and manner had changed,,and she asked, abruptly: " Was your, father a poor man when he died ?'.'... ' " I don't know, ma'am, We lived in a large house, and we kept a carriage, and I had a nurse, so we could not have been1 so poor as wo' are now." " Then what became of his money?" " I don't know,' replied Eva; "once, <vhen I asked my stepmother she said Mr. Church would thrash me to with- (n an inch of my life if I ovor asked such a question again, or if I talked to other people about it." "Thrash you I Does he ever dare to strike you?" ''Yes, ma'am, ho has done so rhore , than once," replied Eva, her face flaming with sudden shame, and anger; " but the; last timo was several months ago, and I said I would go to tho vicar, as Willy Banner did, if he struck me again, and then my stepmother interfered, and I heard her tell him ' not to bei such a fool as to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs.' I have wondered ever since what she could mean, for I don't really make much money with'my lace work." ! "No; I suppose not. Perhaps you will find out one day. Do you mean to content yourself with making and ���������mending all your life?" '' Oh, dr**** vo.' and the girl's face , changed as though a new light had ' illumined it. " I am only working to make money to put myself to school." '"1'hen you wish to'bo a governess?' "No, 1 don't,' said Eva, resolutely; " I don't 'think I shall ever know enough to teach others, but I want to draw and paint, or even to go as a clerk. There are many things a woman can) do if sho is in earnest, and has only a little knowledge." , "lam glad you think so, my dear; 11 believe you mean 'to work hard, and, ; therefore, for your father's sake I will ' help you." . j "You know my father ?" said Eva, timidly. "Was it beforo I was born?" I ' "Yes, before I was married, and my I son is neven or eight years older than you can be. 13ut don't ask me any questions, and don't talk io anybody else of what I say���������though, by the way, how old are you ?" ' 'I am just thirteen, ma'am.' Thirteen; well, I will pay for your education, and 1 will than give you sufficient to start you in any calling you adopt. No don't thank me,' she said, hurriedly, as the girl caught her band and ntralelully' pressed it to her lips. " I am but paying a debt, nothing more." Then sho turned her 'face toward the house maintaining a reserve and silence whioh Eva was too timid to break. When tho rrirl got back to tho small room, and was bending over tho costly pieces of lace that required all her skill and care in mending, sho could not help fancying that she must have fallen aisleop over her work, and that that walk and conversation in the park must have been a.dream. But happily it1 was nothing of the kind, and the next day Mr. and Mrs. Church were surprised and somewhat frightened by Mrs. Westbrook coming to see them and offering to take the girl off their hands. At first they positively refused, but when the lady talked of getting her lawyer to hunt up tho late Mr. Randolph's'family, and ascertain who was the girl's legal guardian, they gave a hasty, though unwilling assent to the proposed, arrangement. >������������������ " I wish she was of age, for then I'd make her sign some deed that would leave the property in my hands," growled Mr. Church, when he and his estimable helpmeet woro left to themselves. " If you're wise, you'll let sleeping dogs alono," was her prudent reply. " Sleeping cats," he retorted disdainfully. "Well, cats can scratch," returned his better half, " and if over Eva and her friends find out that you have been taking her. father's money, while you kept hor. in rags, (they'll make you suffer for it, you see if they don't.' Mr. Church growled out words too strong vtb ��������� be repeated, and ��������� the worthy couple might have come to blows but for Eva's re-entranco. CHAPTER III. Eva Randolph had gone away to school. Susan Harper was engaged all' the week in the neighboring town, learning dressmaking and hairdressing and the various acquirements necessary for a lady's maid, arid when she came home on' Sundays' she was much too important a young woman to bestow any, notice on Lilas Lampier, and poor Lilas was very dull, for Emma Bligh was in London, and Mary Matthews was nursing a sick grandmother. So pretty Lilas had only Mrs. Flood's children to play with, and as Master Freddy, the baby, was becoming dreadfully, heavy, \ and was too helpless to walk, the task of carrying him was anything but pleasant. "She will very likely injure her spine with carrying that heavy child," she heard the villaige surgeon say to a gentleriian one day, " and that, with such a lovely face, will be an awful calamity." The stranger replied With somo remark about the'children of the poor and the two passed on. But,;Lilas understood at once that the surgeon's observation had applied to her. Had she indeed a lovely face ? She was: still doubtful as to whether the doctor, was niistaken, or whether all the rest of the world had 'beon blind when Master Freddy set .up a howl and insisted upon being carried home. "I won't carry him,; tho doctor says I'll hurt mysolf if r, do. You" carry him home for mr, Billy Smith," said Lilas, 'appealing to a neighbor's son, who had just ovortaien her and the small brood under her charge. "What will you give Oi?" asked the lad, with a mixture of boldness and shyness characteristic of the juvenile rustic. "I,ain't got nothing to give,' pouted the girl.. "Give us a kiss, and I'll car' he for ye." Lilas pouted and hung her head, and pretended to bo surprised at the demand, but'she would have given a dozen kisses, to any lad ailve sooner than have carried the heavy child after the doctor's warning, so at length she acceded to, the boy's terms, which included payment in advance, and then Billy honestly performed his part of the contract. ��������� But from this day Mrs. Floods trials increased. Lilas would not carry B'red.dy, nobody could make do so, and after many quarrels.'a rude perambulator, very.much <h". wor.se for wear, was purchased, and' in this Miss Lilas did condescend Lo wheel about tha young Moloch. Lilas Lampier, from that day forward, thought of little but her good looks, and of how she could best use them to her, own advantage. . _ Sho was a quick, precocious girl. Htsr French extraction made her feel but little sympathy, for the Floods, while tho memory of the life she had iedi in Paris, was as vivid to her mind as'though sho had left tho gay city but yesterday, and had even thon been older than she actually was now. Since she had beooina so-dangerously consoiousof her beauty she had ceaselessly wished that her father would come back and take her away from the Floods, for she knew that with him she would live in great cities, and surely whore there was abundant wealth and many, people a girl with a ,lov,ely face' need not be dressed in poor, shiOby clothing, nor need sho spend Pher life in looking after a tribe of self-willed children. Not that Li.as had any actual intention of doing wrong, or any clearly- defined inclination for evil, on the contrary, good and; evil wero very much alike to her mind, provided either would assist her to attain the end she desired to reach. She had heard her father say that man was only responsible to himself for his actions, arid that (be wealth of the rich ought to bo taken away and given to the poor, and she had accepted^ these pernicious doctrines as lier fathor had accepted them befora her, with (he ready belief of one who, lias everything to gain and nothing to' lose by, the redistribution of property, and she longed to get away to London or Paris, where she felt convinced she should find some wonderful fortune. Rut her father did not come, the fortune was far away, arid- she had' become both reckless and impatient when temptation from an unexpected quarter came in her way. One ne.vor-to-bc-forgotten day Mr. Flood announced his intention of taking the children to the circu?, lhal had been opened in a field not very far away. ff-'roddy was too-young to go, and it was just a question whether Lilas or'" tha'..child's' mother should remain at home, when".Mrs." Flood, who would have enjoyed tho dissipation as much as any of them, said, good hatur- ediy: "-���������" "You shall go, Lilas; maybe I'll afford to go another day/' So Lilas wont, and the tinsel and tho horses, and the glitter and applause intoxicated her,- and'she determined, before the evening was over, that by some means or other she would join a,' troupe of traveling performers. Not a- very anbitious aspiration for a''girl', who meant to be a lady, but then, as she assured herself, all things must havo a beginning. lb was not difficult to come to this resolution, but to put it in practice waa by no means so easy a mailer, and Lilas for( tho next few days spent most of her'time in womdiering how she should tako tho first step to enter the career sho sought to pursue. Her own carelessness made the opportunity. She was walking along one morning,' pushing the perambulator before her,, and looking back to follow with admiring: eyes the figure of Mr. Ernest WcsLbrook when sho suddenly found herself and tho child struggling in: the river. Her shrieks and those of the small children who had lagged behind soon brought the young gentleman and somo laborers who were at woirk in a neighboring, the baby were rescued without sus- field to her assistance, and she and laining much' damage beyond a good wetting. Mrs. Flood s anger, however, was very great; it was nothing but carelessness and dislike 'to. little Freddy, she vowed, and in her rage she struck tho girl sharply across-tho face, and declared that she would send her away to find a better homo if she could. The fact of deserving punishment rarely makes' us -.more ready to' bear the lash, and Lilas persuaded herself that she was greatly ill-used, and resolved to take Mrs;: Flood at hor word. Without giving herself time to think of the probable conseojuences of what she.; was about- to do, Lilas rani up to her own room, put':on her Sunday clothes, and taking with her a few trifles sho valued, and a shilling or two which she had hoarded, sho. ���������-. crept downstairs, made her way out of the house unobserved; and soon reached the high road, ' Thr traveling circus was'still in the neighborhood; and Lilas1 soon arrived at the field) where the largo booth in which the performances took place was erected. At another time sho would have felt shy and timid, now she was desperate. Barman s troupe was her refuge, and no. sooner did she reach the entrance to the now: empty place than she asked a man, Whom she recognized as the clown, for Mr. Birman. "Yes,'.'my dear, step this way,-' he replied," and so saying he led her to a sort of hut that had been, knocked up: for temporary occcupatibn. "I want to know-if you will let mo come with: you ?" exclaimod Lilas, when she saw Mr. .Barman himself; "1 can dance,' and 1 can learn to jump and ride, and I'm not afraid of anything, arid I, can speak French.' The proprietor of the traveling circus was not a little surprised at this appeal, and he would probably have answered it somewhat roughly, but for tho singular beauty ot the girl who made it. His questions olictod hor story without gloss or reticence. Mr. Birman listened patiently, gravely, and when she had finished he informed Lilasi that he would tako her as his apprentice for three years, if tho Floods, made no objection. "If thoy do, I shall run away to London, " was the grit's nonchalant reply; "and I shan't go back to them again now.'' Mr. Birman smiled. Lilas, with her beauty and her reckless temper, would! be a treasure- to him i������ he only could hold her in check. So he sent1, a note to Mr. Flood, who cams to him in great pert'uibationf of mind, and insisted that Lilas should return to his . Toof at onco. But Lilas obstinately refused. Then Mrs: Flood came,'and begged and entreated the girl to come back, and the poor woman painted in vivid coiors the temptations and dangers that wou'.I! beset her in the life she sought to lead: Lilas only laughed. Her mother had becn.ii dancer, why should she expect to be anything ���������better? she asked, scornfully; and then finished by declaring that she hated children, and ihopad she would, never havo'to nurse one again. So the Floods wont hiriue,'saddened and self-reproachful, and a' fetw days later Lilas left the town with her new protectors. -, ' For three years she was bound to live with Mr. and Mrs. Birman and to serve them, and, after - that, for three years moro she,' was to give them, half of her earnings. Hard terms, it would seem, to many, but Lilas would not have grumbled, had thoy- been twice as hard. She would be dressed in gorgeous, attire, and crowd-* of people would see and admire her, and who could say that.some great: lord would not want to marry hor, and that she would not be a grand, lady after all? So her foolish littio brain wove wonderful fairy castles for the future, ajid though in learning to ridu and leap, and spring through hoops, and risk her neck on the trapeze, she more than orice only barely escaped with hor life, she Still held fast to the balief that what she now -had to go through was all necessary to bring ,to perfection the harvest which she hoped one day to reap. , ' To be Continued, ", CAGED BEAUTfES. . Mr. William Shark describes in London Literature a visit, while in Algeria, to a street of caged women. It seems it is forbidden to Europeans after dark, but ho wandered in, partly through incident, partly through curiosity. Ho writes: "Some women were in barred rooms, and some in cages, offered for sale. "The woman in the first cage I passed was rather pretty, and, though her hair was dark, she had pale bluo eyes. Her long, loose tresses were everywhere clasped with littio bluo brooches, and I noticed that her lips, tho end of Iher ears and her finger tips wero stained a dull red. She accosted me in MoorishnFrench, and asked me if I would not like ,to take her away from theso jackals of Moors and Arabs. I said I -was a^ stranger, a wayfarer, and if here to-day might bo far to-morrow. She told me she was not an Arab, 'Allah-be praisedl' and not a Moor, either, but a Koulourli���������th'at is, the child of la Moorisii woman by a Turkish father. 'One girl's face and manner impressed me greatly. She was nb-t beautiful, (hardlypretty, but she had a singularly winsome face, with large, fine, gastelle-like eyes. Sho was a European, a Spaniard from one of the Balearic Isles. Strangely, she was very fair, with blonde hair full of a dusky gold sheen. Sho had been lak- crii to .Oran, at tblei extreme' western end of Algeria, by a Spanish naval officer, and there in a lew weeks been deserted. For some months sho was a derelict in that old Hispano-Maures- que town. After her ohild was born she had gone inland, lo hill-sei Tlom- cen, the old Moorish cily that stands within sight otC the frontier of Morocco. There a rich Moor had taken her to his haremi. On his death, a few inon-chii later, she Jhad been purchased by a Jew from Algiers, and straightway sold to a young Turk at Bona. The Turk, when tired of hor, disposed of his property ,to an Arab Sheik, who had grown tired of hor in turn and placed h'c-r in. the- street cago, an article for sale. For some minutes JC stook talking to. t'hie poor, imprisoned creature, when a passing guard took riotico of the' incident and whispered to me in French to move away at onco and return to the foreign quarter. Ho had passed oca beforo 1 could see his face. The next moment T descried tho evil countenance of a Jewishl-looking Moor, belhihd the cage of the Oran woman. He was her owner, and had been listening to our conversation. When he diseovered. that ho, had not a purchaser to deal with ho came forward brusquely.

Real jewels,," scientists now assert, possess organic lite. Ib has long been known that: opals and pearls grow dull when worn by invalids,, and latterly rubies and the turquoise are found to share the same sensibility. Pearls are more indicative of the condition of the (wearer than any other gem. Though this delicate stone lives longer than a flower, it seems to have a form of,life, which, liko that of the flower, loses color and brilliancy and actually dies. Nor is this property unfounded in reason. Science has , latterly learned much concerning germs and their influence in the propagation of health and disease. Those invisible emanations which surrounct the-person Wearing gems .penetrate' the interstices of tho jewel and actually increases or decrease its brilliancy, The inference is a true one that rings and pins should bo laid asido by the invalid.

Tho career of Dr. Wallace, M.P., who recently died in harness, is an apt illustration thereof. The late politician started his life as a preacher, thon ho became an cdi- or, a banker, a legislator, and a public lecturer, says tlie London Dr. !iy Mail. jiul there are other men who hav,<������ put thfir hands to a variety of"call- ��������� ings. In some casos failure in ono pursuit has made them devote their energies to another; others, believing that variety is the vory champagne of life, have changed their occupation from motives of recreation, and not solely to amass fortunes. No living man has tapped life at so many points as the German Emperor. There is hardly a profession Dr occupation . that he has not applied himself to.

Loaving the royal atmosphere, there are many examples of more lowly mortals who have appeared on life's stago in different characters. Mr. Bret Harte tolled, industriously in many pursuits until he"found his.truo vocation in enriching Anglo-Saxon literature by his vivid t-torics of lifo in California. Starting as a miner, ho developed into a school-master, arid then becanio in turn express messenger, printer, and newspaper editor. Fortunately for literature, he narrowly escaped becoming a very wealthy man by selling his interest in a mine before its value had beon discovered. One day he sat down, and, over a pipe, scribbled a poem of humour ��������� "The Heathen Chinee," to wit���������which mado him- a man of fame. - it was laid down as a truism that to become a successful novelist ono should have seen life in many of its phass, and as this has been tho experience of Mr. F.

He 'began his career in the army, but abandoned tho sword for tho footlights, where ho saw much of theatrical ways and whims. Therihis first romance took the'towri , by storm and" brought lucre to his pocket. Afterwards ho developed into a barrister. Mr. Jerome K.

Over in Gilt Creek a great strike had occurred, and numbers of prospectors thronged the streets and stood in groups at every corner. One, rough miner turned and looked after Ellen and her father and the old hand organ. " This here's a city now, boys 1' he oriod. "Just look Kit the organ-Eriud- Br come/ to town." ' Give me a tune, old man 1" called out a second minor. " Let him 'alone, boys," said a third. " He is* blind." Ellen led her fathor down tho narrow street and piloted him safely through the, noisy crowd. As she turned a corner she spied an unpretentious eating-houfce. " Dinner fifty cents," tho sign read, and she paused before the open door. " We'll ,go in and get some dinner, dad. - I'm fearful ihungry.' Sho led. her father to one of the small tables and slipped the organ from bis back. Then she. drew an old red handkerchief from her pocket and untied pne corner. A little roll of coins dropped out on tho table. , ' " Got enough, dear ?" asked her father. Hia quick ear had caught the click of the coins. "Lots," said she, shortly. She hastily tied up tho money, and going 'to the 'counter ordered dinner for her father and for herself���������kinly a bowl of oatmeal and milk. " I was pretty near starved," said the old organ grinder, as he ate his roast beef with a good relish. " Hain't the meat good, Ellen ?" " Course it is I" answered Ellen, calmly taking -a sip of 'milk. ' 'And thci tomatoes and the rioe pud- din' ?' added her father. " Yes, dad; but don't stop to talk,' said his daughter. She soon finished, her own simple dinner and leaned back in the stiff wooden chair. Two miners close by looked up admiringly. Her eyes were large aud block, as had been thoso of her Italian: mother, who had died when she was born. Heavy braids of black hair were wound round her head, and her cheeks, and lips were crimson. Her old straw hat was tied down wilh a faded ribbon ; her dark blue dress was stained and shabby. She wore ablan- key shawl round her slender shoulders. ��������� ' " We've had a splendid dinner, hain't we?" said her father, rising and taking the organ on his back. The young woman took her father's arm and led him- to the corner of tho Btreet. " We'll stop and play here, dad.' Her father patiently began to turn the crank of the old organ. Sho stood beside, him, and eagerly scanned ,the faces of tho passers-by. Few seemed to think the music wajs worth paying for. A lady gave a coin, and a miner carelessly tossed a quarter toward them. But their supper and a night's lodging wero to bo paid for, and very little was loft in tho handkerchief. It grew late ' at last. The organ- grinder had played through all his tunes. " You axe tired, dad," said Ellon, as ter father paused, " We'll go and find a place to sleep." " We don't want no supper, do we, Nell? We had such a hearty dinner." "Yes, dad," said she, faintly. " And it was late, too," added tho old man. " It imust ha' been 'most three o'clock." " Be you hungry, dad ?" asked the daughter, anxiously looking into his face. " Not a mite," answered her father, very cheerfully. "And s'pose I play a little longer.-Tain't dark yet, is it? Let's walk along.' They turned a corner and found themselves in a side Street, in a quiet neighborhood. There were curtains at some of (the small cabins. An open door gave a glimpse of a brighL Brussels carpet. Suddenly a young girl appeared at a window, and raising the sash, very carelessly, tossed out into the road a beautiful, half- withered bouquet it hothouse flow- srs. ' ..-,,'. Ellen quickly glanced up at the lady, who was young and had fair. hair. This much she remembered always. Thte.bouquet rolled to the young girl's ' feet, 'then stopped. She stoop- sd and Tricked up the flowers. They were only a little faded. Some ' of the .roses were quite fresh and fragrant. Jt must have been a beautiful bouquet once. Why did the young lady throw it ��������� away so soon ? It was nearly seven o'clock; Ellon and her father; had paused before a large hotel; ���������the space in front was crowded with men. Some of them gazed: at) the girl.who stood so patiently; beside the! old organ. (Her hat had slipped back, and her black hair lay in rings on her smooth, white forehead. She did not know how pretty she was, and wondered why the men stared at her so. 'She knew she was ���������tired arid hungry. She wished some one would toss them some money. A, young man came down tho stops. He'wore a blue flannel shirt and his coat was quite as shabby as the one her father wore. Ho stood in front of the organ with his -hands in his poc kets. For a few moments he did not speak, but seemed to be listening to the music. And then his eyes foil on the flowers. ' , " Where'd you git em?' he asked, suddenly. . " Found 'em,'answered the girl, quite as shortly. -,,_,, * He came a step nearer and held out his hand. . " Let me see 'em.' Sho drew back hastily. ��������� " Pay for 'em first. I'll sell em cheap," she said. ne thrust his hand still deeper in pocket, then tossed somo silver on the top of tho old organ. Thon he took the flowers and studied them intently as ho turned tho bouquet round. " Tell me where you got 'em/ ho asked, pleadingly. , " Found 'em,' sho said again. " A lady throwed 'em out the winder.' Tho young man said something under his breath then turned and walked away. ... Ellen had 'seen the color como to his face and' a hurt look in his eyes. As she looked after him ho gave tho bouquet a toss <and it fell in the'muddy street, only to be crushed the noxt instant by ihe wheels of a passing vehicle. "Hain't there enough money yet?' asked her father, touching her arm. "Yes, dad,' sho answered." We'll go and get somf supper, and then we'll find a place to sleep." The little parlor of Mrs. Murphy's lodging-house was crowded with miners that evening. Ellen left her father seated contentedly in a corner, and stole quietly out of the front door. She was so used to an outdoor lifo that she felt suffocated in a small and close room. - . Some one) sat on tbe lower step, with his head resting on his hands. Ho'look- ed up and saw heri as she stood hesitatingly in tho doorway. " Don't be afraid,' ho said kindly. ' It was tbe young man who had bought the flowers. She sank down on the steps and drew her old shawl still closer about her. " It's cold out hero,' said tho young man. Perhaps you'd better go in.' " I aint cold," answered Ellen; " I'm most always outdoors.' " Where'd you say you found the posies?" he asked, suddenly raising his head. "A young lady throwed 'em out, she had yallex hair. It was a house with white curtains at the winders. I didn't set ino price on the flowers," sho added hastily, "you needn't have paid so mluoh for 'em." , "I ain't complainin'" of the price," said the young fellow. "They cost me a pilo to begin with." "Did you give 'em to her?" she asked,, curiously. "Yes," he answered shortly; '"more fool, too 1" ',,.., "They were faded," remarked the girl, consolingly. ��������� "Yes," he said, bitterly. "She had 'am. twelve hours," His head dropped on his bands again. " I wouldn't care,' said Ellen, softly. The young man glanced at her. Hor eyes were soft with sympathy; sho looked so fair in" the moonlight. . "How old are you ?" he asked abruptly. "Seventeen" she replied, wonder- ingly. "And. you travel about with your father ?" "Yes," said the girl, "Dad likes to travel. Ho won't let me do nothin'," sho replied, proudly. " He says ho can support mo." ���������'Can you write?" looking eagerly into her pretty face. "Yes. I was at school once." "I hain't got no education," said the young man sadly, "and I want to get a letter writ.' ' "I'll do it," she offered, eagerly. "Will you, now?" and the young fellow sprang up. "Come on into the kitchen. There's never nobody there." In a few moments he had brought ihier a sheet cf paper and pen and ink. ' They were alone in the little kitchen ���������that was scarcely more thin a shed, a-ndlthe girl seated herself at the pine table. ., ^ , "Begin "Darlin' Lizzie,'" said tho young man, lean:'ng anxiously over her ahqulder. , Ln, a cramped hand and very slowly 6'he wrote: "Darling Lizzie." "Tell her 1 lave her I" ho burst out. "Tell her I'm going over to Red Mountain to-morrow, but she can write to me. Jim Cotnroy'll read me her letter. She -needn't say nothin" but yes ox no. Got- it all dowaV "Pretty near," said the girl. "You told me such an awful lot." She was handling the pen awkwardly- ' A bright color bad come to the young man's cheeks. His hair was light, almost golden, just the color of the young lady's, Ellen thought. Sho glanced down at-the letter. Would "Darling Lizzie" say yes or no ? "Done?" said her now friend. "I'll tako it over to the post-office." He sealed tha envelope carefully and put it tenderly in his pocket. Then he held out his bronzed hand. "Good-by; I'm much obliged to you. If I don't never see you again. 1 wish you good' luck." ''���������'", h ���������As he; passed, her chair a five-dollar gold piece dropped into her lap. The next September Ellen and her father foumd themselves once more crossing Red -Mountain on their way to Walong. She had grown a little taller, but She looked much the same. Her dress was still shabby, and a forlorn felo hat replaced the old black straw. Buit her lips ond'eheoks wero crimson with exercise and health. As they came into'view of the town thoy passed; a gxoup of miners who were out prospecting. One of them shaded his etyes with his hands and looked long alb' Ellen. ' "Give us a tune I" he called out to th'e organ-grinder, and the old man obediently set down his organ.and began to'turn the crank. Then the young minor came slowly toward the girl and held out his hand. Tho girl knew him at a glance, and her black eyes grew bright with pleasure. "1 didn't get no answer,' he whispered. Ellen looked sorry ; then a curious gladness came to her eyes. "Haven't you seen her ?" she asked. "No,'' answered the young man; "she don't live here no more. "I'm sorry," said the girl; "I writ it plain.'' ' Then he looked at her admiringly. " 'S'pose I come to see you to-night?" The organ-grinder took up his burden again and a3 they moved away she smiled over her shoulder at the young man wilh fair hair who looked after her as he leaned lightly on his pick. A month later a clergyman at Walong married them. Ellen was very happy in her new home. There wero no laco curtains at the cabin .windows, for her husband was but a poor prospector, with only his youth and hope. Her father still played tho old organ, but he kept near home that Ellon'might see him as she glanced up from her work. One evening during the winter hor husband came home and as he seated himself by the stove drew a yellow enveloo from his pocket; It was old and worn by much handling and boro numerous postmarks. ''What is it?" asked Ellen, quickly. "An old letter fur me," answered hor husband. " They said it had bin fol- lerin- ino 'round everywhere. I ha'n't been in one place long the past year. It ain't much good now. ' S'pose you read it." She look the letter and tore open the envelope. There were only a few lines. It began "Darlin' Jim," and was signed "Your own Lizzie." It slated that tho writer would marry him at any time. "Don't look so 1" cried her husband, as Ellen grow deadly white. She did not speak, but stood perfectly still with the letter clutched in her hand. But her husband threw his strong arms around her. ' , "I'm glad I didn't get it 1" he cried. I'Don't you-know I love you best? Nobody can't take your place now." A WALK TO THE SUN. llic Aggregate .Man Takes a Si roll of 70, (100 Every Second. If the average old man of comparatively sedentary habits were told that during his life he had walked as many miles as would compass the earth at the equator six times, ho would' probably bo very much surprised, says the London Daily Mail. And yiot such a pedestrian effort only represents an average walk of six miles a day for a period of sixty-eight years. Similarly, the man who is content with the daily average walk of four miles will consider himself an athlete on learning that every year he walks a. distance equal to a trip from London to Athens. When one considers tho aggregate walking records of the world the figures are even moro surprising. Assuming that each individual averages a four-mile walk a day���������and this cannot be. considered an extravagant estir mate when one remembers that Mr. Thomas Phipps, of KLngham, has walked 440,000 miles on postal duty alone���������the startling conclusion is arrived at that' the world covers a journey of 69,444 miles every time tho clock ticks, night and day. This means that the world's walking record for a second of time is equal to two trips round the Equator and more than thirteen jaunts between London and Naples. Every minute tho aggregate man walks a distance equal to -eight return-trips to the moon, supplemented by over fifteen walks round the earth's waist. ifn an hour he would walk as far as the suu and back again, take a trip lo the moon, from the earth, 140 times, while still loaving himself a stroll of 100.0JO miles to finish tho cigar ho lit at the commencement of his journey of sixty minutes. But considering the rato of his progress, it is probable that * even a slow smoker might require a second cigar beforo finishing the walk. In a single year the aggregate man walks a distance of 2,190,000 million miles, which, after all, inconceivably great as it is, would take him less than one-eleventh part of the way to the nearest fixod star. It is well for the aggregate man's exchequer that he walks these distances ; instead of covering them by rail. At the rate of a penny a mile, the world's annual walk would cost -������9,125,Ofl0,0C0, or ten times as much j gold as is current throughout the entire world. To purchase a ticket for this distance it would be necessary to mortgage the entire United Kingdom to three-fourths of its full value. FOR SUNDAY DINNER.

Mix salt and pulverized alum in equal parts. Lay the skin on boards, wool-side down. Rub into every part of the raw-'side all Lhe salt and alum mixture it will tako up, then fold the skin lengthwise, raw-side in, roll it up tight from tail to head and lay it away two or three weeks, then open it and hang across a pole or board fence to dry. When dry it/ will be stiff. Let two-persons draw it across the edge of tho top board: of a fence, or something similar, exerting con-, siderable strength, until the skin is pliable in all its ports. Lay* it on boards, the wooi-siao down, and rub into the flesh-side all the nc.itfoots oil it will readily take up. To cleanse ,tho wool have a washlub nearly full of warm soapsuds of soft' water. Let two persons, one holding either end of tho hide, draw it back and forth through the water, wool-side down, being careful to wet the skin as little as possible; hang on a line and squeeze the suds out with the hands. Repeat until cleansed, then rmse in clear water, squeeze all the wator out possible and hang in tho shade to dry. 'J.o color the wcol, select a package of any desired shade of dyes and prepare the dye as directed. Lay the skin on boards or on smooth tuif, flcsh-sido down and with a soft, wide brush, open the wool along with the hand und apply the dye with the other. The dye should not be hot, but just warm. Hot dye would injure the wool. By opening the wool with a stick in every part, one can see ! when all is colorcdi properly. Hangi in ��������� tho shade to dry. When dry, ^ rinse twice in clear water as before,- to remove any sediment of -the dye. ��������� Beat tho wool with a stick until it presents a s;.f;,' f iiif fy appearance. Thus beautiful rugs can be made which! will last many years. ect.

After this thoy will keep any length ot time. RETURNED THE COMPLIMENT. The obsequious 'person who seeks fees from travellers by pretending to mistake them- for noblemen occasionally meets one who does not fall into the trap. The following example is taken from an English paper: An English gentleman of somewhat imposing personal appearance had a door opened for him at the Paris opera house, by an usher, who bowed low and said, The door is open, prince. The Englishman glanced at him, and without extending the expected fee, simply said. Thank you very much, viscount. ORIGIN OF MILLINER.

The new steam yacht Victoria and Albert, which has been built'for the Queen at Tenby, will be on 'completion tho handsomest and fastest yacht any British sovereign has possessed. It will rank only second to the Emperor of Russia's wonderful yacht, the Polar Star, which is said to have cost close upon a million of money. Nothing more lavishly elaborate than tha fitting and decoration of the Polar Star could be easily imagined. Money has been drilled into her frame in hundredweights. Tho decorations of the dining saloon, alone, which will seat a hundred and fifty guests, cost approximately SICO.000. Exquisite paintings by somo of the most celebrated artists adorn the saloons and cabins, and all, the woodwork is elaborately carved. There is a fine library and music-room aboard, and a beautiful white marble fountain, while some of tbe ornaments are of the rarest. The Standart, the Czar's smaller steamyachl, of 4,300 tons, is much moro frequently used than the Polar Star. Sho cost slightly over ������2,000,000. This is only about half the price of the Polar Star; but the Standart is one of the most sumptuous yachts afloat. There is accommodation aboard for a crew of tnree hundred, t won by officers, and eighty passengers. There are three magnificent suites of apartments devoted to lhe use of the Emperor and Empress, and Dowager Empress, a fine library, a billard rc-om, and a music salcon. The dining salcon ispanolled in tuiip-' wcod; tho door-handles, finger plates, and the lamp" fixtures aro of heavily carved solid silver. There is a fine marble bath room, with silver fittings; and the walls and doors of the principal cabin aro elaborately inlaid with ivory and mother-of-pearl. So many improvements and additions'are made to her appointments since she was first completed that she is now worth probably half as much as she- originally cost. ��������� The German Emperor's famous steam yacht, the Hohenzoilern, of nearly 4,- 103 tons, was,' considering her beauty an-.l purpose, a comparatively inexpensive vessel, costing , considerably less than $1,000,000.��������� She haa a very beautiful interiox, and splendid accommodation for crew and- passengers alike; and is considered one of tho fastest, smoothes going vessels afloat. FEET DIAGNOSIS. A doctor has announced his belief that in diagnosing a patient's ease, it is as essential to observe his walk as to feel his pulse, it appears that a porson, in vigorous and robust, health walks with his toes pointed to the front, and that as health begins to go the toes turn gradually out, and a perceptible bend appears in the knees. It will certainly come as a surprise to a good many people, drill instructors especially, to learn that it is correct, in the best sense of that i loosely used word, to walk with the toes pointed straight to the front.

XEbe flIMnfng IRevfew SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 23, IS'J'J. COTTON A CO. VS. SHIP. STATE3MAN- From the indications there will be a lively scramble for the mining vote the coming elections. When Mr. Cot- - too was hero the other day, he "let the ' cat out of tlie bag." tie said the mining vote of the country would carry the day, and he was going to get that vote. However, he has a competitor in the race, who is at least as bound on purchasing the mining vote as he is himself, with whom he will have to reckon. There is no doubt but that no matter,what bait Mr. Cotton may set Mr. Martin will go one better. As soon as the elections are announced, the public will see "the people's Joseph" in the field, with a candidate in each mining constituency, antl a platform that will offer much more for the mining vote than Mr. Cotton has so far bid. The battle cry of the heroes of the age will then be, "We are here to buy you, miners, and we are sure our hooks will catch." Tlie best thoughts of the statesman 'are directed towards the best means of establishing and retaining friendly relations between capital and labor and of developing the hidden resources of the country ; and is it not deplorable when our "'statesmen" lie awake nights for no other purpose than to devise means to buy tlie dominant vote of the country. The industrial vote of England is a much larger percentage of the population of that country than is the mining voto of residents of British Columbia, and yet the statesmen across the sea never dream of manacling the industrial vote there as Cotton & Co. arc tying it up here. In Great Britain the great effort of the statesmen has ever been directed toward* improving the sanitary arrangements and appliances of the institutions in which the operatives are employed���������the prevention of depression and the elevation of the moral tone of all classes involved, ever leaving capital and labor at rest whenever r working quietly together. The aim of our statesmen appears to bo to !>ct capital and labur at each other's throats in the hope that they "the statesmen" may get the vote to enable them to pillage the spoib of udice in the scramble, in England the aim of the statesmen is to see that tunnels and shafts in mines are made sale for life and limb, in good air and mechanical appliances, regwlating reasonable hours of labor, limiting penalties for infractions to women and children, the wards of the state. In British Columbia the sole object is is to puichase the votes of those who have them. Wc shall be very much surprised if tbe bulk of the intelligent, independent minors do not see through the game before next elections aro over. It Messrs. Cotton & Co. would only appoint cipable ofiicers to inspect the camps and see that all bunk houses and sleeping and boarding apartments were properly arranged and maintained, that the men wore not charged more than the prevailing prices for .board, or, as an alternative, allowed to board and house themselves, that all tunnels and shafts wero well provided ���������with fresh air, that every precaution .was taken to keep alf tunnels and shafts as free from surface water ns possible, that none but. capable men were allowed in miners'unions to impose half work for full pay on the employers, aiid that the right was left to the men to sell their labor for the highest price they could get for it, placing capable, steady men at a premium, they would be taking a very prominent step towards elevating the tone of the mining districts and encouraging the income of the necessary capital to develop our resources. Messrs. Cotton & Co. ought to know that labor, though it is one of the principal elements in the development of a mining, country, cannot alone bring the prosperity tho country demands. Capita] must come with it and both work harmoniously together. Their idea, however, is to antagonize and keep in perpetual strife the only elements to which we all look for the desired measure of prosperity. It is no .secret to any one that any special advantage given by legislation to either one of these essentials of growth and development must antagouise and frustrate the other. The wise statesman would simply stand aloof while harmony prevailed, and only interfere when Always relieved promptly by Dr, Fowler's Ext. of Wild Strawberry. When 3*ou are seized with an attack of Cramps or doubled up wilh Colic, you want a remedy you are sure will give 3*011 relief and give it quickly, too. You don't want an untried something that MAYhclp you. You want Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild-Strawberry, which every one knows will positively cure Cramps and Colic quickly. Just a dose or t wo and you have ease. But now a word of proof to back up theso assertions, and we have it from Mr. John Hawke, Coldwater, Out., who writes* "Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry is a wonderful cure for Diarrhcea, Cramps and pains in the stomach. I was a great sufferer'until I gave it a trial, but now T have perfect comfort." difficulties arose, and prevent the exercise of undue advantage on either hand. PROM TWO POINTS OF VIEW. The champions of the eight-hour law never tire declaring that "the mines are rich, and the alien shareholders should be made divide a share of the profits with those who produce the wealth." This is the truth only in a small portion, and is, therefore, more damaging than if it was a falsehood out and out. We have not the actual figures by us, but, we think wc are quite safe in saying the mines and prospects of the province have in the aggregate cost the present holders at least -535,000,000, and to the present not more than ������5,000,000 have been realized from the whole of them in dividends. As a body they have then to earn $30,000,1)00 more over operating. exponseSjbefore they havo made anything. It is not a lact that because a few out ot the many properties arc paying large dividends that mining is a profitable business, and those .who aro ranting the most on the eight-hour law should bear this in mind. Put the matter in this shape before these gentlemen and the reply will be, "Oh, but the great bulk of them will pay well later on." We all hope so, but no ore knows that they will, and the policy in overy such undertaking is "Pit the burden'to the back." Before, however, nine-tenths of the properties, that may yet give returns, are paying, largo blocks of capital must be got from outside, and the more vexatious laws that arc passed tho more difficult it will be to secure it. If some of these labor-leading demagogues, who are mouthing the loudest for the money they themselves make out of their ran tings, had to furnish the capital to bring our prospects into development, they would soon eh inge their tune. It is a pity tliia matter is looked at from the narrow, selfish stand point that it is. The miner looks at it from what he can make out of it and put in his pocket, while the owner looks at it from his dividend point of view, while the proper view should be the development and growth of the country. No one, however, will say that the latter can best be secured by lopping oil" by legislation the liberty of the subject. his eight-hour law that are a disgrace to any civilized country. We, however, instance the school laws of all Canada���������they limit the hours of teaching, and, though there are no penalties for their violation, thej* work well and are seldom infringed upon. We may again instance the ten-hour law for mechanics and artizans in Ontario. There are no penalties attached, and they arc only violated when the employees find it to their financial interest to violate them. There is an eight- hour mining law in Utah, without pen alties, and it works well. There is an eight-hour mining law in England, with penalties in the case of women and children, who are in any case wards of the state, but none as regards men, and it gives' excellent satisfaction. Mr. Cotton has to have penalties in British Columbia, when a law without them could not be violated if the men themselves did not choose to violate it, simply because he ranks the miners with Indians, children and minors, who are unable to look after their own affairs. We favor the law, Jess the penalties, which we consider a disgrace to our statutes, and are in conflict with the constitution and destructive of British sense of inuividunl right and liberty.' If Mr. Cotton thinks that 56 to GO hours a week are enough for miners to work, why does he not allow the owners to work thnm on legal days and observe the Sabbath ? As it is, the owners offer ������21 for'60 hours omitting Sundays, or i?21 for 50 hours including Sundays, and the men want $24.50 for 56 hours including Sundays. If Mr. Cotton is such a stickler on law and order, why does he not see that the law governing the Sabbath is observed ? Its observance would give the men the much needed rest that all claim they require. In our humble opinion the men as a rule know their own business and what is best for their health and purses, and with an eight-hour law without penalties they would have it in their own hands to look after both without shackling legal provisions. To be idle is the hardest of all tasks. Our grandmothers understood this and even in their leisure , moments were never found with- ., out some little task in ���������; their liauds, if it were only knitting, tat- ==- ting or crochet- Ik ing-. There was a " reason for this that does not ap pear upon the surface,. Qur Krandmothers were healthy wo-, men, imbued with' a spirit of ambition and activity that would not permit them to be idle. If many modern women are much Ipss active and more given to idleness than the stately dames of yore, it is because they enjoy a smaller measure "of good health. A woman who suffers from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organo, who is racked with pain, and tortured with headaches and nervousness, cannot be active and helpful. Idleness and invalidism are the natural results of suffering- of this description. The poor invalid woman is not at fault, save in her ignorance of her own physical make-up or neglect of her womanly health. Thousands of women are neglectful in this way because they shrink from the embarrassing examinations and local treatment insisted upon by the majority of obscure physicians. Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., has discovered a wonderful medicine that cures all diseases peculiar to women, in the privacy of the home, without the necessity of these embarrassing ordeals. This great medicine is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of wifehood and motherhood. It makes them strong, healthy and vigorous. It heals internal ulceration and inflammation and stops debilitating drains. It transforms weak, nervous invalids into healthy women.

Mr/Cotton cannot see how lawa can be enforced without penalties, and he has therefore to attach conditions to Mr. JJann, a ritired business man of Montreal, who accompanied the members of the Mining Institute on their visit to this country, and who stopped oil a day in Sandon, has measured up the situation and puts it concisely. He says ho has been in some of the tunnels and would not want to work in them even eight-hours ; but that is not the question. No government ha3 any right to limit the earning powers of its subjects, as the B. C. government has in the eight-hour law by penal clauses. In Great Britain there is an eight-hour law governing mining, with penal clauses that apply to women and children only, because they are, so to speak, wards of the state. Ho does not blame the men 111 looking for every- advantage the law allows them. Tlie owners, on the other hand, have a serious complaint, when the light to handle their own affairs as they de~sire is'denied them by legislation. He is satisfied that the courts if appealed.to would soon declare the unconstitutionality of any such enactment. He would suggest an offer to the men by the owners of a sufficient daily wage to cover living, and an interest in the profits after. The only objection to this is, however, the men would accept it in the dividend-paying mines and reject it in the undeveloped prospects��������� the properties of all others that are hampered by the late legislation. 1 V=JQ _ What dyspeptics need is not artificial digest-ints but something that will put their stomach right so it will manufacture its own digestive ferments.

As the minors'unions are disposed to run matters,the owners are bound to suffer beyond conception. They are taking on their list many men lamentably incapable of doing an average man's work, and asking $3.50 for eight hours for them. Good men will go into the tunnels and for a time do good work, but in a short time they will see that the inferior men are paid the same wages they get-for infinitely less work. Their next step will be to reduce^ their work to that of the inferior men, for they will, say,"Where is the use doing more when we get nothing for it? To dismiss the inferior men and put good non-union men in their place will be to encourage strikes and their consequences. All these' conditions show that the'inferior men - will govern the work of the camp, which will render the development of non- dividend-paying mines and prospects out of the question.

A Belleville Lady, Whom Doctors JaiMtoHelp, Cured at Last by Doan's Kidney No one who has not suffered from kidney disease can imagine the terrible torture those endure who are the victims of some disorder of these delicate filters of the body. Mrs. Richard Rces, a well-known and highly respected lady of 13elleville, Ont., had to bearthe burden of kidney compla'nt for over 20 years and now Doan's Kidney Pills have cured her when all else failed; Her husband made the following statement of her case: " For 20 years my wife has been a sufferer from pain in the back, sleeplessness and nervousness and general prostration. Nothing seemed to help her. Doctors and medicines all failed, until we g-ot a ray of hope when we saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised as a positive cure. "She began to take them and they helped her right away, and she is now better in every respect. We can heartily recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to all sufferers, for they seem to strike the right spot quickly, and their action is not only quick but it is permanent.' "f cannot say more in favor of these wonderful pills than that they saved my wife from lingering torture, -which she had endured for 20 years past, and I sincerely trubt that all sufferers will give Doan's Kidney Pills a fair trial."

She spent her vacations at school, for she had no home,t no friends, and though Mrs. Westbrook wrote to her sometimes it did not suit that proud and discard any project for training th.-j girl to a life of independence. But two objections rose against this Course; one was that Mrs: Westbrook did not require a companion���������riot being a particularly ��������� companionable woman���������and tho second was the girl's anxiety to work. "1 should1, like to become an artist, if you think I have sufficient talent," she said, one day, when the rector and Ernest Westbrook and his mother were looking at some of her drawings. "Do you think-1 have?" she added,-looking up wistfully. She had not meant to address herself to him, but her eyes encountered those of Mr. Westbrook, and he replied, warmly���������too . warmly, his mother thought: "Yes, I am sure you have." The bright flush of pleasure that came over the girl's face did not escape lady to have a school girl spending ' tha notice of her patroness, and sho her holidays at Westbrook Grange or j scented danger at once. . Hut she was it her house in London. too well bred to make any comment, Besides, this practical lady never a,nd it was not until Eva had retired forgot that she did not mean to adopt ' to bed that Mrs. Westbrook betook Eva as her daughter, but simply to ' herself to her son's room to _, _ , ._. _~iply ^ Einablo the girl to make her own way in tha world; andin every one of her letters she impressed this fact upon the mind of her protegee. At the end of four years, however, Mrs. Westbrook thought she would like to see the girl whom she had resolved to befriend. Moreover, the time for which she. had intended to pay for hor education had already been exceeded, and; it was now desirable to decide upon the girl's future career. "Dear ihe,' she must be seventeen,'" rem.irked Mrs. Westbrook, thoughtfully, as she sat at a writing table inditing a letter to Eva. "Yes, I suppose' she is," replied her son, carelessly ; "rather a plain little ���������-���������hing, isn't she ?" This he asked '.with'a purpose. Experience had taught him that he Jould not injure a girl in his mother's opinion more fatallv than by praising . .-.,_. --j good looks rate, I will let her learn a profession; His mother had a dread of his jnar-i thoP * sb'ul feel she is off my hands rying. und she was also imbued with' iindu tb-a.t no further responsibility al- tho idea that every woman that look-. taehes ������������������ seU: to ,me*. ���������fno next 1ues- Bd upon her son had designs upon his,.u^r^'���������h������y_ Lo hagin ? tion from the face, which to her in-experienced eyes, seemod the most perfect, tm/'nly countenance that had ever been created. Having finished her water-,oolor drawing, she took out her hoarded portrait from the sefcret pocket of her portfolio, and sat, for a tim������, thought fully looking at it. Then she took her pencil, and began to make a line here, and shade off a curve there. H������r heart was in tho work. She forgot where she was; she did not observe the expectant demeanor of tho dogs, nor did she hear a footstep on tho grass, nnd Ernest West brook had stood behind her watching her for some seconds, and wondering whether it was possible for him to escape as he had come, unobserved, when one impudent toy terrier-began to bark, and made Eyii look up in some alarm. Ernest coughed, und Eva just had time to cover her drawing wilh a sheet ,of paper, when he said, without looking nt her: "1 think f shall indict you, Miss Randolph, for stealing the hearts of my dogs. I verily believe that Leo is the- only ono that remains stanch and faithful to me." ".You mustn't say that," sho replied, rising to, her feet and feeling assured by his tone that he had not seen or recognized his own portrait. "Leo is tho only ono of the number that you regularly take about with you, and the others, aro .glad of a littio notice even from me, but they are ready to desert me any moment that^ you will Jook at them." "Then you think I have no case against, you?" " Certainly not; you have only to 'whistle and,I should ' be left quite alone.": ABOUT WUIAS SUffltAGE i ��������� i.

"Oh, nol" she replied, with a bright hold a consultation with him. "What.do you thiihk X had better do with this girl ?" she- began; "keepher here with us, or gratify her desire to learn. some profession ?" "Tint just depends upon what you mean to do for her in the, future," he reipliud between the puffs of his cigar. "Howl What should T do for her in the future," she asked, suspiciously. "You must either make some provision for her, or give her the means I but I thought I would slay to provide for herself, f should think," i have a chat with you." he replied, indifferently, "I don't suppose that- she is in the least degree .likely t.oi marry, and she must live." "And- why shouldn't she marry?" asked the mother, sharply ; "she is as good looking as most girls of her age.' The young man shrugged his shoul ders as he asked, indolently: "Is she?" "Yes, I think her so; but, look that made her usually quiet face appear _for the moment beautiful; " but," she added, while her countenance fell, " perhaps your mother may want you or me." Ernest Westbrook laughed, though he did not feel quite as much at ease as he would have done had no not seen that portrait of himself. Then ( he said: "My mother is,safe, enough ; she has gone off to pay a round of farewell calls; she wanted me to go with her, ' ' T " " " behind and at any heart, and for this reason she 'Mr. Carlyon said, as I walked with 'With me?" and the girlish heart began lo palpitate in a most uncomfortable manner. "Yes, I-want, to'.know if you" really care about going to those people in London, and studying to become an artist." " Oh, indeed I do," she replied, eagerly. " And there is nothing you would like better ?" he asked, tho recollection of that portrait still uppermost in his mind. "No,",she replied, promptly.

Now that we havo before us: full reports of the debates in Parliament on the Lords' amendment to the London Government bill, an amendment by which women wore made ineligible for the of fice of alderman or councillor in the new metropolitan municipalities, we cannot but recognize that the woman suffrage movement in Great Britain has encountered a serious reverse. The discussion turned undisguiscdly on the question whether even an initial step should be taken toward the bestowal of the Parliamentary franchise' upon women, and a negative answer was returned, by a large majority in the nouse ot Commons, which, hitherto, on'several occasions, has encouraged the advocates of woman's rights; not a few distinguished Conservatives, as well as many Liberals, having declared themselves in favor of the entire political equality of the sexes. It now.looks as if the woman suffrage societies would have "to put redoubled pressure . upon candidates for seats. in the next Parliament,- if they are to regain the lost ground. It will be remembered (hat the London Government bill, which has now become a law, provides for the local administration of the various districts included in the wide area for whose ! collective needs the London County Council was instituted. When the bill was under discussion in the Commons,'an amendment was moved making women eligible for the of fice of alderman or councillor in the-now municipal, districts. The Government did He contended that, as there is a largo majority of women in tha United Kingdom, the political equality of the sexes would," in the natural course.of events, inevitably involve the; submerging of the numerically smaller sex by the larger one. It would Involve, in- other words, the transfer, oS the Government'of the British Empire from male to female hands. Strange._to_.say, Mr. Labouchere, who formerly, in connection . with the second Heme Rule, bill, maintained ; that tho House '",' of. Lords had no moral right to revise the judgment of the House of Commons, now complimented the Upper House on having construed accurately the real mind of: the Commons.; When the motion was made that "the House do agree in the said amendment, that made by the Lords/' it was carried by a majority of, 09. .. it io idle that this reversal of its previous action by the House of Commons augurs ill . for the' immediate prospects of woman suffrage in Great Britain. It is a coincidence that the incident occurred at the very time when a Woman's Parliament was sitting, in London." We repeat that the woman suffrage societies will need to bestir themselves at the next general election, if they desire to recover the hold; which '"' they have hitherto possessed upon tho House of CommOns.

But the sight of that portrait had upset all his preconceived ideas: It had touched his vanity^ and told him .he- had a heart that this girl in her teens could set palpitating.

The Prime Minister was supported by the Archbishop of York and Lord Londonderry; and, what is especially to be noted, Lord Kimberley, the leader of the Liberals, asserted that it would be contrary to practice and to ordinary justice to deprive women of a privilege they already possessed, and that no supporter of the clause would be, necessarily, committed to woman suffrage in tho broadest sense. The Lord Chancellor, on the other hand, did not hesitate to oppose his chief, on the distinct plea that the question at issue was, at bottom, no tho published testimonial"of Rev. Mr. Freeman, a minister: with' whom .'he- was personally acquainted, relating to his restoration to health after using- Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. He was- - ���������. -- , particularly impressed, with' this tes- less momentous than this: Whether or j timonial and concluded that these- Whereupon Eva ' thanked her, and' C.ri!st-1 '" l-tna disVlncu Mrs* Westbrook's felt that.she was free to run as wild as any. of Ernest Westwood's four- footed pets, whoso freedom she bad often envied. Westbrook Grange is .situated near the south coast, a mile from (he sea; in a richly-wooded country, and it was Eva's delight, during this first real holiday of her life, to wander about by wood and stream, accompanied by several of, Ernest's dogs, with whom sho had made groat friends. She always carried pencil and paper and water colors with'her, arid sometimes sho would spend hours together in somo favorite spot making a sketch of tho soene. She was mare clever in drawing faces and figures than in landscape, but sho had an artist's eye for beauty, and she was determined to carry with her as daughter 'on an equality with your manv mementoes of Westbrook Park servants," ho returned, as he walked: "s shc (:oul(,*; . 0n0 picture, that had But of the room. ��������� "sen carefully studied, and worked The result of'this conversation was1 upon ..from time td time, was nearly that a letter was written to Eva in-:' ttntshed, and ' she was devoting one viting her to come to the Grange, and j morning��������� the last but ono of her stay jno further remark was made about her! ��������� to its completion, being handed over to the care of thel Previously she had taken portraits housekeeper.

She was a tall, reedy girl, unformed, reserved and unassuming, but with a quiet dignity about her rarely to be found in one so young. , Also, she was inclined to be. shy, and she showed such a decided preference very handsome young man, with large eyes, an open r'ountsn.-in'ce and curling, waving dark brown hair. This sketch sh'o'had hidden carefully away: sh-?. would not have had Mrs. Westbrook or her son see it for any sum that could be offeredher. But she meant.to take, it to London with .'or Mrs- Westbrook's' society, and "sol her, so that, when the original was far rarely ventur������d *-o glance at Ernest, I'away; she might still gather inspira- carnage returning to the Grange. "I think Ihad better go in," sho said, hastily; " your mother is coming back." " Then let' us go a*nd meet her," he said, with a sudden flash of defiance. " But 1 have to fetch my portfolio ; I must tako it indoors." "Well let mo carry it." She hesitated for a moment; whilo her eyes involuntarily sought his; then her own drooped, and sho yielded passively, while he led"tho way back to where the portfolio had been left , and, taking it Up, carried it into the house. Eva would have taken the portfolio to her own room, and there have remained tilt Mrs. Westbrook had alighted from her carriage, but ErnestcallT ed. her' to the door, and there his mothr er, a few seconds later, found the couple awaiting her. " What good children you are," she laughed, pleased at tbe small attention. Then the possible meaning that might- be attached to her words struck her; her face- darkened, and she said, pointedly, to her son: ��������� "i.have invited Adelaide Grantham to come on u visit to us while wo are in town." ' 'Then I hope you are prepared to entertain her," he replied, " for to me, Miss Grantham is intolerable." Mrs. Westbrook made an'angry observation, but Eva slipped away to her room. This had been a white day in the calendar of her, life, and she did not wish1 to spoil it." L To Be Continued. J not, for all purposes,,and in respect of all political power,' distinction, and disqualification of sex should be maintained. The Duke of-Devonshire took tho same position, holding that, as women were allowed to sit in town councils, the claim would be presently advanced that they should sit in Parliament.' The Duke of Northumberland hinted that all tho friends of the clause in the Lower House needed to do was to stand firm- for he simply urged that the Commiw should havo a further opportunity elf considering' the matter. In tlie ensuing division, notwithstanding tho: attitude assumed by the official leaders of both the Government and tho Opposition, Lord Dunraven's amendment expunging the clause making women eligible to tho district councils was carried nearly 3 to 1. The bill went back to the Commons, and there is littio doubt that, had tho professed friends of woman suffrage been inflexible, tho Lords would havo ultimately acquiesced in their demands. Tho test was applied on July 0, when Mr. Leonard H. Courtney proposed a compromise, by suggesting that women should bo eligible for councillors, but not for aldermen. Had this compromise been accepted, the priniiploof woman's fitness for political duties would of. course, have been upheld. Mr. A. J. Balfour, however, the spokesman for tho Government in the House,: although he has been supposed to favor woman suffrage declared that it was not in the interests of the bill that the Commons should enter into a contest with the Upper House upon a minor question. EQUALITY OF THE SEXES. No member of the front Opposition bench took part in the debate, and the piils must possess singular merit and healing power or Rev. Mr. Freeman: would, not lend 'his name to their approbation. Mr. Hemstreet then decided to give them a trial; he first got ono box; then three, than half a dozen, and took them regularly. No very marked effects, he says, wore noticeable- but with characteristic persistence he purchased a further supply. By the timo twelve or thirteen boxes had been, .taken, he felt. that.;now blood was coursing; through his veins; that..;.'he- possessed renewed vigor and was able to perforin all the duties his business--* calls demanded. "For -a year I continued to take the pills," he said. ' "I knew I was, regaining my old time- strength and good health and I was determined the course should be complete and permanent,,and I gave them- the credit for making me tho new ���������man I feel myself to bo to-day. As i evidenced th it my recovery is complete-' I have only to state that this spring I have conducted a number of auction sales in the open air with perfect ease and with entire'satisfaction to my clients. "I am as "' much averso to making personal matters pubh'c as any one could possibly bo, but my long continued illness was so widely known, and my recovery has been iso marked, and satisfactory ih'at I feel that I riwe a debt of gratitude to the simple }>ut effective remedy which curod me, and (this is why I thus acknowledge it, as well as to sh'O'.w to those who are up- in years and in ill-health what Dr. William's' Pink Pills did for me."

A new electrical toy, presents in an Jriginal way' the old principal of the slectric penuulm, which consists of a rery light ball of pith suspended by i silk Ahread from- bent iron wire, one '���������eg of which is placed iu a glass foot ior insulation. Hi the little ball is approached by any object charged with ilectricity, it is first attracted, and ihen, upon being touched is repulsed i>y it. The toy is called tho boxing tangaroo. The figure of a boxer is cut mt of, cardboard, ' and coverod on'the Jack with (tinfoil, which is turned over it the .edges of the card. One foot >f the. figure is stuck into sealing wax )h a small block, and to the back of ���������his legl is secured a piece of iron "wire. A.s tho other foot does not touch the ���������Upport, it is insulated from it. Tho ligure of a kangaroo in boxing posl- :ion is1 cut out of tracing paper, covered Jn one side with' tinfoil, and suspended ay a linen thread from'one. end of a piece of;'iron wire")that has a rectangular bend, tho other end being set in :he supporting plate. The kangaroo then faces the boxer. The process of putting life into tho two figures is ���������������*ery simple. One end of a glass -chimney is stopped up by a cork, in tho center of which is driven a nail, Dno end of which "is secured to a piece of email iron wire, the other end of the wire being connected with the wire on, the back of tha boxer's leg. Tho Apparatus is then complete. After tho lamp chimney, has been carefully dried, 'it! mustl bo rubbed (with a piecei of silk, or fur. ' This generates electricity, which is transmitted to the boxer. Tho kangaroo, strongly attracted.by tho electrically-charged figure, makes a dash at it, but a discharge of electricity instantly follows, and the animal is repulsed. As long as the rubbing of the chimney is kept up, this series of attacks and repulses will continue, the struggle between the man and the beast being constantly renewed. 95 WHY WE OPEN THE MOUTH. ' -In Attention Sign Which !���������? a Survival or 1'rlinirivo 1,1 fe. Hiram1 M. Stanley advances a new applanation of (the tendency to open tho .mouth in surprise and astonishment. Darwin ascribed this tendency to lh'e������ intuitive desire for quietness and effectiveness, of breathing, and to mere relaxation of the muscles.", Mr. Stanley finds n deeper organic reason, viz., that the open mouth is the attention sign, and is ,-a primitvie and constant reaction with 'the young of many animals for the reception of food,���������for example, with birds. Any sound or other stimulus immediately; causes the young bird to extend its mouth'. With young infants tho same influence has often the same effect. The mouth of thein- Cainit under such stimulation usually assumes the sucking form, aaid'its smile whon the finjrer is pointed .at it. may be either nascent or degraded sucking. Mr. Stanley maintains that the common and ihighly useful tendency of the very young to open the mouth to all stimuli, visual, aural, etc., continues as a. survival in after life, being especially brought out with stimuli of high Intensity and unusual quality, and thus becomes a mark of surprise and astonishment. It is a habit vory common among boys and girls to open the mouth under any attention. The rise of smiling and laughter as connected with' wit and humor���������at tho basis of which lies surprise���������thus declares itself as a kind of attention expression. Assuming that ,the primary expression .-of the/mouth is, a feeding' expression, and that this.; probably has.been modified and evolved in connection with' a variety of /attention. phenomena, Mr. Stanley suggests that it would be worth while to make a detailed study ������������������of expression in infants and'young animals with'(this point in view.

Still their hearts are kind aa ever, Out at homo, Dear old mother's O, so clever, Out at home, And it was so good to see her, Sitting in that high old rocker, Telling 'bout whon we wero younger All the things that used to happen, Out at homo.

One of the most useful .and practical exhibits at the Industrial Exhibition tihis year, was that of .the Metal Shingle and Siding Co., Limited, of Preston, Ont. Their Patent Safe Lock Shingles which interlock each other on all four sides, was continuously surrounded by interested ' spectators, their hand-, some appearance, great durability, unique'construction, fire and lightning proof qualities, making a combination much superior to wood shingles or other roofing. Thoy also exhibited a full line of small and large sheet siding in various designs suitable for all kinds of buildings.. This sidnig.oan bo applied over rough cast clap-board or any rough surfaces; making old buildings very warm and dry, and to Hook like new. Their handsome new designs of mo- tal ceilings and side walls, were very much admired, an improved feature being the construction of the locks m-.iking invisible joins when plates aro put on.

MOUNTAIN ECHOES. Grand Pork.<= now lias the C. P. It. The Water & Light Co. had the tank cleaned out 011 Thursday. Mr. Riblet is goinsr to build a Fin- lavson tram for the Wakefield mine, City Clerk EJuwell has his shingle out at the apartments of Barrister Christie. The new school will probably be finished and ready for occupancy by the 1st ol' October., Arvhie McDonald's broken limb is doing as well as possible, though lie is still confined to the hospital. There is some talk in certain circles of running Win. Hunter, of Silverton, far M.J'.l'. in life event of an election. McLeod and funnel! have taken a contract at the Star to drive 100 feet of tunnel. They have live men at work on tlie job. G. W. Hughes, visiting Sandon on Thursday, missed the return train and lie then telephoned, "A horse, a horse, a kingdom lor a horse." About the only idle men in and around Sandou now are the business men, professional men and bonkers, all of these could do much more work. Stop that Cough ! Take warning. It may lead to consumption. A 25c. bottle of Shiloh's Cure may save your life. Sold at McQueen's Drug Score. The flaming sword, one reads so much of in the Bible, is now on top of the tower of the Pi esbyterian church, and John Belmain calls it the eighth ���������wonder of the world. _ Karl's Clover Root Tea, for constipation it's the best, and if after using it you don't say so, return the package and get your money. Sold at McQueen's Drng Store. The new seats for the Methodist church arrived from Calgary, but owing to press of business of the contractors, Eolliott '���������& McMillan, it is. not likely they will be put 111 place this week. New Denver wants a social assembly this winter. "Nic" Palorcia is now pegging away at the old stand as hard as ever. "Kid" McCoy knocked out Steve O'Donnell in six rounds in New York on the 19th. People who have weak lungs or are subject to coughs, colds or sore throat, should take a few bottles of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, which wpuld heal and strengthen their lungs wonderfully. ���������:'���������.���������: ,.. ;; The Silverton Miners' Union has shown its good sense in withdrawing from its former position on the contract system, and is how allowing its men to work on contracts without a guarantee of $3.50 a day. The French government has gone the rounds of its farce and pardoned Dreyfus, no. doubt Because of public sentiment every where in his favor. He has gone to spend the rest of his days with his family in Southern France. Hagyard's Yellow Oil is a useful remedy to have in any house. It is good lor man or beast. Relieves pain, reduces sweeling, allays inflammation, cures cuts, burns, bruises, sprains, stiff joints, quinsy, sore throat, kidney complaint, etc. Price 25c. There are cigars and cigars, but if you really want a good healthy smoke, of a cigar that will not rob your purse, you will use the "Interior" or "La Morena" manufactured by the Inland Cigar Manufacturing Co. of Kamloops. One trial carries conviction. Last year the Slocan mines paid the provincial government a tax of about 11820,000 on their output, and this year the item -will be next to nothing. Here is a revenue badly needed by the, country lost -through the efficiency of the much adored eight-hour law. Occasionally we hear a business man blaming the mine owners for not opening up the mines. Would it nol, however,:be more in order to censure the government lor closing them down. They Would never have closed but for the penalties in the eight-hour law. Jobn Houston, of the Nelson Tribune, is haying most of the papers in the Slocim purchased in the interest of the mine owners. All along, from the accuracy bf his prophecies, ho has shown ihar, he knows us much about the intentions of the mine owners as ���������he does about the kingdom of heaven. A wheelbarrow would carry the load in either case. There is a little doing at almost all tlie mines but not enough to give the place the air of a mining camp in activity. Rossiand has 25 cases of typhoid, which aro 25 reasons why some people ought to be thankful they live in Hun- don, even if the mines are closed. Mr. John R. Smith, Lake Stream, Kent Co., N. B., snys : "From personal experience 1 willingly testify t������ the good effects of Laxa-Liver Pills for .sick headache and constipation." For Constipation cuice Karl's Clover Root Tea, the great Blood Purilier. Cu:es fJe.-idache, Nervousness, Eruptions on the skin, and makes the head clear as a bell1. Sold at McQueen's Drug Store. The Nelson Tribune has the Slocan mines going to work on the 1st of Oct. at i?3 50 per short day for non-union labor. On the 1st of Oct., however, it (tiie print) will know mort about its value as a prophet. The Exchange-News, of Montreal, says that "mines are made, not found." If the requisite body of metal to make a mine is not in "the find" it would take a great deal of "making" to develop a mine in a given property. Catarrh cured. A clear head and sweet breath secured with Shiloh's Catarrh Remedy. We sell six bottles for S3 and guaranteo an absolute cure. Sold at McQueen's Drug Store. .Tames Martin, M.P.P, for Rossiand, is finding the truth of the old saying, "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown." He has got the appointment of police magistrate for the city for John Boultbee, apparently against the wishGs of the majority of the city, and he is taking the usual lashing' in such cases. .'���������.'���������''������������������ I SOME HINTS.

The-Nelson Tribune is a prinrtHat is exceptionally wise in its day and generation. Every day, these times, it knows exactly what the mine owners of the Slocan are going" to do, but every day's story knocks down dead the story of the day before. Better turn weather prophet, Brp. Houston, you win tell more about wind, arid the harder the gale the better, than you can ever hope to tell about the intentions of the mine owners, at least until the 1 have decided themselves on a basis of action. Mr. F. J. Armstrong, one of Port Hope's best known citizens, speaks as follows :��������� " My wife has had a terrible time with her heart for the last fifteen months. "The pains were intense, and she had a smothering* feeling-tog-ether with shortness of breath, weakness and general debility. Medicine seemed to do her no g-ood,and we had about g-iven up trying- when sho started to take Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. They have toned her up wonder- fully. ."She is stronger to-day than she has been for months, thanks to Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. I am sure there can bo no better remedy from their remarkable effects in Mrs. Armstrong-'* case.''

Tim English ollicials are pushing preparations with might and main, and from the indications will have to tight the united forces of that country. It is more than likely that tlie Orange Pree State and the' Dutch Colonies as a whole will throw in their lot with the Trans van!. It will only prolong the struggle and bring about a greater result���������the subjugation of that entire t country by the force of Great Britain's arms. Expressman Menzies had an adven- - ture of- his own on Monday with "a cuilo'd Lidy" coming in on the K. & S. It appears the lady had a dog on which was a uoilar and chain. Menzies asked pay for the transport of "the animile" and the lady refused to pay tho requisite amount. At this ho took oil' the collar and chain and then the siege and iusilade began. It lasted halfway in'011 tho train and over some of the streets ol the city. On one occasion she toJd him all that saved him irom a'genuine thrashing was that she was not well. At length some friend put up the necessary ''dough" and the lady went on her way without participating in a h'stic encounter. OF THE CI1T OF NOTICE.
