At the colleries of the John Cbckerill Company at Seraing, in Belgium, concrete has been extensively used instead of brickwork for lining1 circular shafts, lining drifts, air passages, etc. The concrete used has been made entirely from blast furnace slags, those from forge-iron broken to 30 or 50 mm. being used as ballast, while the mortar is made of granulated slags, hydraulic lime in the proportion of 5 to 1 by yolurne and slag cement. These are incorporated in a mortar-mill, but no addition of water is necessary, as the granulated slag contains enough. Slag cement is made of about 75 per cent, of granulated gray iron slags and 25 per cent, of slacked lime. When the slags are tolerably uniform in character chemical analysis of the materials is not necessary except when the furiiace charges contain magnesia.which should mnTiJe^-eseTrooTgl-Wt^ 3 per cisnt. The materials required for a cubic meter of concrete are .750 cubic meter granulated slag and .150 cubic meter hydraulic lime ItOM.W'CK.OI" MINIM*..'

All people have peculiarities, some one thing and some another. School- mams are but human. They, too, are peculiar. When the board of school trustees advertised for a teacher for the primary department they stated the term, salary, etc. Six applications were received from young ladies. One selection was made and the young ladj written to,'but the Miss had changed her mind; another was accepted but she declined; three more applications were considered and accepted in turn, but one after the other of the applicants excused themselves. The laBt one accepted the position and the members of WJfi school board thought they had things fixed. She was to show up Monday morning, but at the last moment sent a telegram stating that she was called home and could not take the position.

Three-quarters of them are from country towns, and the unfortunates generally have not been recruited from the slums. Many of them come from good families, and Dr. Furry states that to his knowledge one of them Is the daughter of a clergyman of prominence in a nearby city. Many ot the women are handsome and their faces indicate refinement and education, and as most of them are temperate,, drink cannot be blamed as to the primary cause of their present condition. There seems to be a fascination about the place for these girls. They felt themselves abandoned before they got there and in Chinatown they seem to find conditions that enable them to forget the past. Thisis probably because the Chinamen are very kind to them. The girls live in ecse in rooms filled with incense, ornamented with costly draperies, dressed in Chinese silks and jatms,_a»dAhamJitU^ visiting from place to place. In most cases their parents do not know where they are, sometimes believing that the daughters are workiug in the city, and tbe others not knowing whether they are alive or dead.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 10. 1901. Government Thl r****^ i e Ameri- can Smelter SmelterS Combine is •gain ready to take the silver lead ores of the Slocan. But the cost of treatment is to be raised. Thus we have another example brought home to us of the blessings of the trust. All men must sooner or later feel the effects of the tremendous concentration of wealth in the hands of the few that is going on all over the world, in the form of combines or trusts. The manufacturer, the men and companies of mea.ns, are no longer required to compete with one another, but by combining their wealth and industries, can force the people to accept tlieir terms, whatever they might be.- a-. —'~Irrthe~case~of_the~Taine^"6w'ners of the Slocan and the Smelter Combine of America we see the trust demanding a larger slice of the wealth produced by our mines, and the owners must submit without complaint. We should have.Cana- dian smelters, one says. We have. They are not, it is true, capable of handling the whole output from our mines, but in the business they have handled thus far they have been as greedy as the American concerns. In fact they have demanded the same freight and treatment charges as the smelters at Omaha, Everett, or anywhere else, regardless of the fact that the freight charges cannot be more than one-third as great as the American smelters have to pay on the long hauls. There Heems to be a fair way out of the dilemma, however, and that is the establishment of ninelters by the Dominion government. The question may as well be met. now as any time. It will have to eome to It, if the mining industry is to be protected ax it should bo. It !h H«fe to wiy that this year will set* greater advancement in the Slocan than any in it« history. The outlook witn never more promising and prosperity more sure. Tlie ureat thing* needful an* pa- tit'we iin«l hard work. veto on the still greater atrocities for which the jingoism olj0music hall and the gin palace had begun to clamor, and which would have inflicted an indelible stain on the honor of the country,, The Army and Navy Gazette, the great military organ, has pronounced against the policy of farm-burning, citing Lord Clive, who deterred his soldiers from setting fire to a village in which some of their comrades had been slain, saying that it would only create exasperation. Could it be supposed that such a man as the Boer has proved himself to be would be subdued by making him homeless and desperate? Guerilla warfare is most irritating, and may excuse outbreaks of passionate violence on the part of those against whom it is waged. But the way to avert it was to observe the rules of civilized warfare and allow the vanquished, they being beyond all question regular belligerents, to treat for terms. Instead of this, Lord Salisbury proclaimed war to the knife. His attitude would have justified the Boers in destroying the mines, from which they Teryjereditably abstained, or even in burning Johannesburg as the Russians burned Moscow." According to figures prepared by the Rossland Miner the value of the output from that camp for last year was 83,600,000. This would place that camp in the lead, but there is a probability that the amount given is exaggerated, as there was much ore shipped from the dumps of the War Eagle and Le Roi, the returns from which were low. A minister in a Spokane pul- TheBoreish * ;"•;;•■ ' -m. change for the BOerWB-T bettor linn tak- Degrading vsnnstianity pit a few sun days ago gave utterance to this bit of truth: "If the pulpit is turned into a lecture platform or a concert hall and entertainments and amusements are substituted for the public worship of God, then the pulpit is degraded to the level of secular things. The preacher is only another name for the chairman of a literary club or concert company. While people hungry for the bread of life are offered literary essays, novel reviews, sentiments of poetry or pleasing homilies on soft morality, spiritual famine reigns in the cliureh, ami there is no comfort for the troubled, nor salvation for the lost." Here is a man tliat is "next to" the pure article. It is little wonder that the Christian church of to-day is scolTcd at, ridiculed and and not enough Christlike living. Too much talking and too little doing., In short, too much love of mammon. Most men are honest. Honesty despises hypocrisy. Therefore most men despise the modernized church. They look to it for Christianity, and what do they find ? They look to it for kindness and love arid good fellowship, and what do they receive ? They look to it for honesty of purpose, for The man who discovered that salt is an elixir of life, also has discovered that the common wasps have a memory. This, however, is nothing new. We fail to recall an instance in our boyhood when the wasp forgot to pay us his compliments when we rubbed up against him—or her. In view of the inability of the school board to get a teacher out of the five young lady applicants, it might be that the board was at fault in some particular. We understand they failed to forward the portraits of our bachelor boys.

While we, the people of South Africa, hold by the old, simple, brave ideals and manners of life of the founders of the South African race the future of South Africa is assured. It is for the women of South Africa to transmit these ideals to their children. Freedom first, and wealth, ease, luxury last, if at all. Bathed in blood and swathed in sorrow as South Africa is today, the time is yet coming when the land will be the home of an independent and strong nation." RILEY'S LITTLE JOKE.

"No, I am not Mr. Riley. He is over there." "I knew his father, and I would like to speak with him." "Oh, speak with him, yes. But he is deaf, and you want to speak loud." So the farmer went to Riley and yelled: "Is this Mr. Riley?" "Er, what?" . "Is this Mr. Riley?" "What did you say?" "Is this Mr. Riley?" "Riley! Oh, yes!" "I knew your father!" "No bother." "I know your father!" "What?"" "I knew your father!" "Oh, so did I." Had m Good. ExewM. Teacher—Why have you been absent from school? Boy—Why, mom broke her arm Tuesday. Teacher—But this is Thursday.

THK 'CROWD' CLERGYMAN. When we turn to religion in its different; phases, we find the same emphasis upon them all—the emphasis of mass of majority; not that the church exists for the masses—no one would claim that—but that, such as It is, it is a mass church. While the promise of scripture, as a last resort, is often heard in it about "two or three gathered together in God's name," the church is run on the working conviction that unless .he minister and the elders can gather two or three hundred in God's name, -he-wiii-not-pay-any-particular-atten* tion to them, or, if he does, he will not pay the bills. The church ot our forefathers, founded on personality, is exchanged for the church of demo eracy, founded on crowds; and the church of the moment is the institutional church, in which the standing- ofthe clergyman is exchanged for the standing ol the congregation. The inevitable result, the crowd clergyman, is seen on every hand amongst us—the ageni of an audi- itice, who, instead of telling an audience what they ought to do, runs errands for them morning and noon Mid night. With coddling f'»r majorities and tact for whims, he care- hilly picks his way. Ho iloo.s lilt- people as much good as they will let itlm,tells them as much truth us they will hear, until ho dies at lam, and (roes to take his place with Puritan parsons who mastered majorities with martyrs who would not live and be mastered by minorities, and wild kpostles who managed to make anew world without the help of majorities at all.--(J. 8.
