I'nder the arrangement as it at present stands, the most eminent physician m the world could not practice his profusion unless he puts in the probationary term in British Columbia, passes the board of examiners at Victoria, nrubuius a special dispensation from that august body. A somewhat similar rule applies to lawyers fmm other- places who wish toprastice in British Columbia. lu the case of lawyers there is some excuse for Jihis test and residence qualification, as there is a difference iu the laws of the various provinces and countries, but with the medical man it is not so. A case oi fever is diagnosed by the qualified practitioner iu the saute manner the world over, and in like fashion the various other diseases to which mankind is heir, Then ( whvthis special examination in Victoria, British Cob umbia ? Many men are prompted to join a l^cuiuYiaiy society because it offers free medical attendance : they are fearful as to the consequences should sickness overtake them and they should be called upon to pay a doctor Vbill according to theexisUug schedule of fees. The society doctor is recognized elsewhere, aud lie certainly should have a place in British Columbia. According to a Mr. J II Watson, a member of the executive of the Trades and Labor Council"!' Vancouver, a soldier ennnot be a good citizen having the welfare of his fellow beings at heart. This is s��> diametrically opposed to the generally accepted conception of the citizen-soldier, that we must ictnaik that this visious sentiment comes to us in the report of an nterview with Watson aud the Vancouver eone-ipond- ent of the Colonist. It is said that the Tra ies and Labor Council intend to expel from the labor unions all members of the local militia as a protest against the militia being called out on the occasion of the strike among the fishermen at Steveston. Should the /threatened expulsion be given effect to the action of 'the Trades and Labor Council 'will be looked upon as grossly tyrannical. We cannot, however, think thai any sane men would put themselves on record for audi an act. If labor councils wilfully offend public patriotism and sentiment they can expect little consideration at the hands of the public. Riot and bloodshed were threatened at'the canneries'at the time,, and to avert this the militia was called out. And their presence had the desired effect. The men were but obey- ing orders in responding to the bugle call, and bad they failed to do so they would have been liable to the ^Jp^ishment provided by the military code, and what is MB more degrading, would be looked upon as cowards in the eyes of the public Tin* coal supply of Great Britain has heretofore been considered practically inexhaustible. As long as the mines were only called upon to supply \\mPi demands there were grounds for l-,is estimate, but of late years Norway. France, Spain, Italy, Russia and] other countries :ue calling upon (treat Britain for their coal supply, and the immense reserve of the black diamond is rapidly lieing exhausted. At present sorm 4*>.ooo.��*.Ki,ton* per annum are sent away, aud Ufott lung it is estimated this will run up to so.iwo.ooo. As] a iesult ot this foreign demand the price of coal fa home consumption ha> gone up, and the outlook fa the immediate hiinr^ is generally considered disquiet;! iug.

Nelson is, par excellence, the residential city of the Kootenays, and it is therefore important that its reputation as a healthy place should be maintained at any cost. The sewerage system of the city compares more than favorably with that of any other pjace in the Kootenays, and with the extensions now under way-rample funds to carry out which were freely voted by the ratepayers a few weeks ago���there is no city in the Province which can claim a better system. The supply of water is as pure as it is abundant ; and here again a substantial appropriation is available for the laying of mains in the rapidly growing districts. Dr. LaBau suggests that a more substantial isolation hospital be provided, as the present building, hurriedly put up at the time when there was a case of small-pox on record, is not suitable for the safe treatment of contagious cases, inasmuch as it cannot'be thoroughly disinfected when necessary. In this connection it is well to bear in mind that provision must he made for patients from the various min- ing camps in the district, any one of which is liable to send in a contagious case any day. If a good, sub-g stantial building is to be erected, thoroughly equipped ; and the services of a quali6ed nurse retained, the cost; will be considerable, and ought to be substantiality; contributed to by the Provincial Government.'

It cost the United States Government a million dollars aud hundreds'of lives before he was safely behind iron bars Deprived of his liberty as punishment for his crimes, he could not stand the confinement;-.; For fourteen years he has been a prisoner, the last ten at Fort Sill. For almost half a century he led a band of Apaches on the warpath To the early settlers of thesouth-west he was a terror: Because he successfully led his men in a battle at the age of sixteen he was made a war eh^ with six hundred Apaches, were encountered by Mexican soldiers. Victorio was captured and beheaded. In 1886, after four years of constant chase, General Miles and Major-General tawton cornered Geronimo on the Four Peaks Basin, near Prescott, Arte. After months of starvation and after all hope of cutting their w*y through the cordon of troops had gone, the Indians raised the white flag and Surrendered. They were sent to the military post at Mount Vernon,; Ala.�� but the climate there did not agree with them, many dying with consumption. _. "���$ ���,' ;,.i I t k /ji i; ^ f ' I*rl 1 ^,n" 1 "-.

P. R* by which that company is to handle and smelt ore for the mines at a figure which is under- stood to be $2tooo,ooo annually. Mr. Hosmer said that shipments from both mines are being held pending the signing of the agreement by which the War l%agle would receive special terms for transportation and smelting. This, Mr Hosmer said, would so reduce the cost of mining that it would be possible to profitably mine lower grade ore than had been hitherto. Under th s agreement, it is further added, War Eagle and Centre Star would ship a mimimum of 1,000 tons per day. The first shipment of ore from the Le Roi No. 2 mines was made to the Northport smelter last week. It consisted of four carloads from the No. 1. All preparations are being made for regular shipments from that mine. The following table gives the shipments of ore from this camp for the week ending Saturday last and for the year to that date.

My correspondence with the ladies, though limited, leads me to believe that the Italian school of penman-, ship is happily dying out I notice with pleasure that the proposed introduction of Bible reading in the public schools of Vancouver has been vetoed by the Department of Julucation. This action on the part of those in authority will save endless trouble, which might lead to the establishment of the separate-school system in this Province. So far our public school system in this Province has been a success, children of all denominations freely attending and receiving a wholesome secular education.

THE MINING LAWS. In the Local Legislature on Monday a petition was read, signed by the Hall Mines Co., the Center Star Co , the British America Corporation and a number of other leading mining companies throughout Kootenay. It recited the fact that, by Dominion Commissioner Clu te's report at least $30,000,000 was invested iu West Kootenay mines, and the petitioners pointed out that recent legislation had interfered with the successful working of the properties, and had been responsible for disturbing the harmony between capital and labor, as well as proving generally detrimental to the mining interests. The petitioners asked that under the circumstances a special investigation should be made by a committee to remove all grievances and place the mining laws in a satisfactory condition A bill to amend the Mineral Act was also brought down. It provides a $25 penalty for mining witt out a license, provides for issuing crown grants to the administrator of a deceased claim owner, raises the crown grant fee from $10 to $25, and, as advised by the committee, makes provision for a man to advertise a delinquent co-owner out of his claim, instead ��� of proceeding through the court.

A very large portion of the persons employed in carrying on the work of these mines is under rj years of age ; and a still larger proportion between 13 and 18. In several districts female children begiirto work in these mines at the same early age as the" malesy In the East of Scotland it was more common for children to begin to work at five and six years old than in any part of England. In the W est of Scotland children were taken down into the pits at a very early age 'V In North Wales it was more ployed at five or six, but very common at seven years of ag<��a: In South Wales more cases were recorded of the employment of children at very early ages than in any other district -afrom four to six years of age. it was not umisuaL ; years;of,age;; ^mauy;''.wer^ work.;:a In;South:::Olouceste of children employed ;.-atsix ;veay':;o!d:;^.^nd:-:'i,i;'^ setshire many -.began^,\\vorfc;;fe six aricl" yearsof age.:'a" ^''������\\ZP-P^XPPPP^P'tPPyPfy. .
