The Conservative party of Canada may be in a state of disintegration, but.it is no worse than the Liberal party in this respect. Rumors of dissatisfaction at the methods of the Laurier-Tarte administration reach us from every quarter of the Dominion and even many of the Liberal papers come out ope?iIy and denounce the rascality of lb.* leader--. .-���-; their party. The Winnipeg Tribune tearo 1U0 mask from the face of Sifton and bitterly o->:- demns this man for having brought discj Mi; on the Liberal party. Other Liberal panf-r- believe that increasing the-public debt :."'- seven millions, increasing the annual-expenditure by four, and refraining from reducing the tariff, is not what the Liberal party was elected to secure. In British Columbia the Liberals are in a hopeless state of disquietude. There are not two Liberal papers that are on speaking terms with each other. Yet the Viotoria Times at- temps to create the impression that all is harmony and peace in the Grit ranks. It is reported that the tardy investigation into the Yukon scandals is to be proceeded with by Commissioner Ogilvie and that the report of the commission will be laid before parliament early in April. As most of the officials against whom charges were made have.been got rid,of by Hon. Mr. Sifton, after they had amply feathered their nests by preying on the unfortunate miners, and as most , of the victims haye left the Yukon, or, if still there, arecnot in a position in which it would he discreet for them to antagonize the Sif- ��� tonian officials, the Ottawa Citizen believes the investigation is likely to be more or less of .a farce. No man engaged in prospecting or mining and dependent in connection with important interests' on the good-will of the officials of the government is likely to go out 0 of his wav to volunteer evidence and it is still less likely that the officials will take trouble to hunt up evidence against themselves. There is some agitation in ��� favor of early closing in Nelson. Several merchants object to,closing at 6 o'clock, claiming Nelson is- so situated that a large amount of the retail trade must necessarily be transacted-bfetween 6 p. m. and 7:30 p. m. Opposition to the placer mining act continues unabated. The merchants on the coast complain that thousands of dollars have been lost from a trade standpoint, while those acquainted with prevailing conditions in Cariboo and Omineca claim that alien exclusion is not in ihe interest of those mining divisions. Ald. IIillyer has gone down to Victoria. 'It ifl ur.cVr*tood that while in the Capital City the Nelson statesman will address the u Committefc of Fifty " on the subject of Municipal Government, and incidentally elucidate how Nelson became a threat citv. The downtrodden miners of Kootonay do not take kindly to the eight-hour law. In its present state o development the time for inaugurating the 8-hour day system seems inopportune. Moreover, Kootenay is not just yet ripe for the hand of the demagogue. Christianity has made a decisive step forward in New York city. The women belonging to one of the churches in Gotham have decided on removing their headgear during worship. ��� ; In,the London Standard of the 21st ult. Mr. Wm. Johnston, M, P., asked for contributions "from those who''depire to help Canadians in the, restoration" of St. Paul's Episcopal church, which had been destroyed by a fire. The Bishop of Westminister, in the Standard of the following day; said : " There'is evidently a mistake here, as there is not. and has not been, any such church in New Westminister in connection with the" Church of England. The parish church of Holy Trinity, which was also the provisional' cathedral, was the only one of our, churches destroyed.'- - , ��� .' " ; I Mr. Johnston followed with'another letter, saying that amongst the churches mentioned as, having been destroyed was that of St.* Paul's Reformed Episcopal church',,a small but neat wooden structure. , 1<I do not know whether the Bishop declines to recognize as 'Canadian Churchmen' those who worshipped therein, and for whom I asked sympathy and support." ��� To this the Bishop replied as follows: '��� "The letter of Mr. W. Johnston, to the Standard of to-day, makes the'position clear. ' When he asked for aid towards the rebuilding of St. Paul's Episcopal church under your' ��� heading of," Help for Canadian Churchmen,"' many people imagined that he was pleading for a church in communion with the Church of England. It appears, however, that it is a " Reformed" Episcopal church for which he appeals.

If any one doubts the truth of this plain statement of fact, let him examine the corduroy road, just above the bridge that crosses Kettle river at Cascade. Here, if he searches carefully,* he will find that the government,has thrown its widely heralded promises of economy to the winds, and in the face of a watchful and critical people, has actually spent about $35 in repairs���that is, when the vouchers are accepted and paid. What matters it that before election explicit promises of the conduct, of an economical administration were made. Here is the 'proof, the indisputable evidence of this, squandering of the, people's money���the ' the money that hard working miners, farmers, [, 0tradesmen and others pay into the provincial 1 coffers. With that $35���more or less���repairs were made in the roadway to the ex- I : tent of 30 feet-most needful repairs, it is . true ; but just.think of the expenditure of " that vast sum of filthy lucre right close to : Cascade 1, Will a , special commission be ���" appointed to investigate this' transaction by U;.e agents of this government of ours ? We ���wot'not. But, surely there must , be some mistake about it, for in the past the government, through its agents, has been most care- ; ful to forget that there was a road in these ".parts. It was off, the map, so far as public improvements--greatly needed, too, be it said were concerned. Seriously, however, we should be thankful for small favors, even when doled out in infinitesimal doses. It . may be the precursor of better things.. Let us hope so, at least. Everything comes so he who waits, and we may receive some recogni- , tion from the powers that be at Victoria, if we livelong enough." As an illustration of the way towns grow in the Kootenay it may be mentioned that Greenwood's assessment for the year is $550,- 000, being $280,000.over or more than double that of last year. ���The Nelson Miner, generally regarded the -most reliable exponent of Liberal principles in the interior of British Columbia, takes issue with Mr. Sifton in his statement that the tariff is a dead issue. To this the Miner replies: "To say nov that tbn tariff is a deal isuie; ^that it has been reformed as much as it will be or as much as it it necessary is to repudiate the Liberal principles of 1894 and to commit the entire Liberal party to an act of rank stultification. There are members of the party whosH nolitical consciences impell them to protest gainst this. But alas and alack, what a minority they are!" We regret .that our contemporary is in the minority, division of ". the party, but there are others. The Victoria Globe, forinstance. Henry Norman, the London correspondent of the New York Times, is saddened beyond measure7over the failure of an alliance. He says : A: American critics have declared that theUnitod States cannot add the risk of a great war in the far East to its other national responsibilties. If these premises were true, the conclusion would be irresistible but this contention overlooks the bedrock fact of the situation���namely : that if Great Britain and the United Siates had simultaneously and in identical terms informed the powers of their formal and determined objection to the par- ' tition of China and the exclusion of trade fr >m any part of the Chinese empire, neither of these things rwould have taken place .! and there would have been no war." The Revelstoke Mail says the report is current, but upon what authority is not stated, that the proposed railway connecting Arrowhead with Kootenay lake via Trout lake is to be commenced shortly at the southern or Koo- tenay lake end. It is generally believed that the provincial allies of the Great Northern have eager eye3 fixed on the Lardeau with the hope of drawing its product to and supplying the trade from the 'south. And, as their principal entry point would be from'Kootenay lake without any connection with our northern system up here, to commence from that end would be'stealing a march on them and a stroke of,policy on the part of their powerful rivals. ��� Itls the Slocan struggle over again, but-if this report is true, with the tables turned. It is pleasing to note that the management of the Nelson Opera House have decided to play nothing but meritorious attractions in future. Organizations like the Markhams should not be permitted to rob the public, but the management knew nothing about the company and consequently are not altogether to blame.; The theatre-going citizens of Nelson are willing to give sterling attractions a generous patronage, and realizing this fact -the management of the Opera House will turn the cold shoulder to barnstormers in future. We mention it merely in a casual way that a newspaper which uses a water nvHor to run its pres3 cannot bespoken of by this journal as "our 'steamed contemporary." The burning of the Windsor Hotel and the dreadful loss of life, at New York city, the other day, has once more directed attention to the necessity of providing large buildings with adequate means of egress in case of fire. The Irish Standard (Minneap-dis), one of the brightest weekly newspapers published in the United States, the day after St. Patrick's day had the following : " Kenneth C. Beaton, a former member "of the Tribune staff and war. correspondent during the Pillager troubles, 'has returned -from Nelson, B. C , and is again connected with the Tribune in his former capacity." Mr. Beaton is still in Nelson, and the fact that the editor of the Irish Standard believes he saw that gentleman in Minneapolis on or about the 17th of March may be construed as a reflection on the brand used in the Plour City to celebrate the anniversary of Ireland's patron saint. However, Mr. Beaton will leave for Minneapolis next Friday and without flattery it may be said that he takes with him not only the best regards of the n wspaper workers of Nelson but also the sin-' cere wishes for his future success of the many friends he has made during his short residence here. , ��� Recent developments in the treatment of low grade refractory ores by the use of electricity opens immense new fields for research. According to an exchange, one of the newer processes includes crushing to a very fine degree and mixing with a solution said to consist of 8<��,nd and lime. It is as.-erted that the chemical aciion which results liberates the mineral in the ore to such an extent' that by the use of an electric current, similiar to the process of electro-plating, the metallic contenTs, of the rock can be calught upon revolving rollers, from which the deposit is scraped and preserved as rapidly as it accumulates. The process is said to be far cheaper than any yet known. .. The report telegraphed from, Vancouver that a miniature war had broken out between the Canadians and Americans' on the Dalton trail was a pure fabrication, but the man who manufactured that report is still permitted to run at large. The Victoria Board of Trade cannot be moved in its opposition to the Corbin charter. At it meeting yesterday, the board resolved, "that parliament should not sanction the construction of any railway from the United States into the southern portion of British Columbia until our interior towns and smelting and refining centers have been closely established and brought into close relation with the Canadian agricultural and commercial centers." If it should transpire that the Klondyke is after ail in the United States, what will be-, come of the Government office-holders sent into that country? Will they be turned loose in some other part Canada, perhaps British Columbia? That is the question. One of the most popular of the English Sunday journals has recently been discussing the question of longevity from a lay .point of view and interesting indeed are the opinions that have been evoked. The editor of the paper in question is led to remark. " A correspondent discussing my conclusion that in longevity a good constitution is the chief factor, and here-dity the cause of it,'remarks :��� .'This may be true in a way, but I ^think- nevertheless'.that food plays a considerable part in it, I maintain that long-lived people instinctively eat the proper food to insure longevity, and also that their instinct may be cultivated and improved to the benefit of the individual.

Ore shipments from Moyiefor the month of February amounted to 370 tons. The St. Eugene contributed 240 tons of TKfiTamuuiit, and the Lake Shore came up with the. balance of 130 tons. The aggregate value of 0the 370 tons of ore is in the neighborhood of* $27,010, taking as a basis the returns from the five car loads of Lake Shore ore,'winch run $73 to1 the ton. This means that nearly $1,000 in ore values left Moyie each day during the month of February, says the Leade ; Half a million dollars i- asked from the Ontario- Government, by William MacKen- zie and o hers, as a further bonus for the Rainy River Railway, to assistin the development of t'ne rich mineral and agricultural re-- s 'Urces of what is known as New Ontario. .A rjonus of $3,000 per mile was granted the railway refrfred to ��� last vear.

Right of way is'also a?k'jd, as well as free construction timber from the Crown lands.. The way of the transgressor is hard. Last year the E ist Kootenay Miner called the publisher of this paper a pickpocket, and now the. Miner is in the hands of the sheriff. Melbburne, Ausiralia, with a population of 500,000, owns its own lighting system, and the city made a profit out of it, last year, of $750,000. St. Louis, Mo., with a population of 650,000, spends over $314,000 a year on its lighting, and expects to do so. In Nelson, at the present time there is scarcely a vacant house. The extravagant . thoery of the young people as to the necessity for keeping up certain style is the reason, says the Washington Post, why so many of them put off marriage year after year, and finally drift into the irremediable stage of celibacy. Girls without fortunes are supported in idleness and luxury by over-indulging parents and expected to be t-.ius cared for after marriage. The annual cost of such a girl's maintenance is more than the income of a young man, unless he be exceptionally foitunate. The fault lies with the parei.t-'. Unless they are prepared to give a. fortune with a daughter when- she marries, they have.no moral right to make her uufit for the position of wife in the home of a young man who his his ft riune to make. And this is not a trivial mistake, for it is a great and increasing source of personal unhappi- nes'p, and it inevitably promotes immorality. Instead of thousands of bachelors and spin- s.ers in boadingi houses in -Baltimore, Washington and other cities, there should be thousands of modest homes, in which young mar- Tiie Australian Federation Bill is now assured. The special session of the new South Walee Parliament to consider the matter has been convened.- The Governar, in his speech from the throne, said it appeared to the New South Wales Ministry that the other governments had gone so far to meet the objections of New South Wah-s that further delay or opposition to the completion of the great work of national union was unreasonable.

Tpie residents of Nelson are begining to realize what it is to have a representative in the Dominion House of Commons who is either making no effo t, or has not enough influence with the administration, to secure the much needed public'building in this city. Mr. Bos- teck may mean well, but that counts for but little in the present emergency. The Government pays out more for detached buildings in which to carry on the public, service than the interest would amount to on the money required to erect a building in which all the government business in this district could transacted. Mr. Bostock must be aware of this fact, and if so, why does he not impress upon the Government the necessity of having such a building erected at once? On account of Mr. Bos- Tiie following is pn ><:d for the edification of Postmaster-Genera\ Hillock. It is from a paper printed at Ket'e Falls,- Wash: "As proof of the perfection of the mail system there was delivered by Postmaster Fuller, during the week, a package that turned up in the mail car, bearing neithi r the address of the "sender nor of the persoi-. who .a to receive it.

' Jay Gould made his family name.'feared, but his daughter is making the name of Gould honored and respected. The addition of a few hundred books to the Nelson Public Library still further enhances the value of that institution. : THE ECONOMIST. ELLEN LARRABEE'S LUCK. It may be a tradition among readers of The Economist that most people lose everything by going to prison; but such is not always the case. In one particular instance, at least, a woman found everything by being sent to jail. She discovered all her nearest relatives and got an offer of marriage by serving out a term in the penitentiary. Some years ago the name of Ellen Larrabee was quite famous, at least quite notorious, as being that of probably the most daring and successful of female burglars. That was not really eaying very much, for there have been very few female burglurs at any period or in any place. Women make skillful pickpockets, accomplished '* shoplifters," fashionable kleptomariiaces, but they seldom take to bur- i lary. It is too hazardous and requires not only, courage but muscle. But Ellen Larrabee proved to be annexception to the ordinary rule among women, and perpetrated several daring , burglaries which would have done credit or discredit to a man, and which were at first attributed to a man. Her identity was, however, ultimately traced and her secret revealed. , And spite her sex, she received a severe punishment and a long-term in State's prison. Her case attracted wide attention and of course her antecedents we?e discussed and described. And some interest was excited by the fact that the woman herself had never known who her parents were nor whether they were living or dead. She had been found as an infant on somebody's door-step and had been consigned by the " somebody " to the-relactant care of a public institution, which had " farmed her out " till she ran away and set up life for herself in sin and shame. All the details of her early career were given in the papers when her trial came up, and of course were widely read and copied. One morning an elderly woman called at the jail, and with much mystery was accorded an interview with the prisoner, Ellen Larrabee. And in the course of this interview the mysterious visitor informed the prisoner that she was her mother, and proved her statement. Yes, she was the convict's mother and had had this fact impressed upon her by reading a sketch of the convict's life published in the papers. Had it not been for seeing this published sketch of her own daughter the mother would never in this world have met or known her child. But this was not all. One day when her new-found mother was calling to see her at the Brooklyn penitentiary, Crow Hill, where Ellen Larrabee was confined, the mother's eye chanced to fall upon a male prisoner who was then, with the rest of the male convicts, marching from cell to workshop. As she gazed at this particular prisoner she clutched her daughter's arm and cried: " Look at that man well, for heis your fatherl" And so, indeed, he was, though his wife, Ellen's mother, had not seen him for nearly a score of years and knew not until this unexpected episode of his whereabouts. And yet, after twenty years' absence and desertion, here he was, serving a term in the same prison and at the same time with his deserted daughter, with his deserted wife looking on. All three at last met together, or the first time in twenty yearp,aye, longer than that, as both-mother and father had abandoned their child, Ellen, to the tender mercies of the world years before. Probably not for thirty years had mother, father and daughter met, all three, and now they met by chance (if there is such a thing^as chance) in the penitentiary. ��� ��� ��, ��� Ellen Larrabee, the female burglar, had thus far discovered by or through her being convicted of crime and being sent to prison first her mother and then her father. But there was more to come. While working in the shoe-shop department of the penitentiary, to which she was assigned and in which she became the quickest and most expert crafts- woman, making even a more skillful shoe-& maker,than she had been a burglar, the matron of the prison sent for her and brought her to the warden, who introduced her in his office to a young farmer. This fellow, quite young," quite handsome and quite rich, even if quite green, was named Daniel Sprague, and came from Connecticut somewhere near Stamford. He had read in the papers all about Ellen Larrabee and had become infatuated about her from the printers' ink accounts, and bad now come to town to see the subject of his thoughts and these reports in person. Well, he was allowed to see Ellen and to talk to her after awhile. And ere th first interview between the parties was over the farmer boy proposed marriage to the convict girl. Nor was the farmer such a fool as. he would seem at first sight in this. Ellen was quite a handsome girl and really looked as unlike a criminal as possible. She was modest in her manners, quiet in her ways and would impress ..strangers favorably. She completely conquered Daniel Sprague. who wanted to marry her forthwith. So that, in fact, Ellen Larrabee came across not only two parents but one adorer. What a life of rectitude might not have done for her a term in State's prison had brought about. Certainly there was never a more striking illustration of the romance of crime than this. And yet cui bono? What came of it all? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Ellen Larrabee cared neither for the mother nor the father who had been discovered for her by her imprisonment, naturally enough. They had violated all the ties of nature themselves in their desertion of her. She could not begin to learn to love them after years of UAter abandonment and indifference, and a convict father at the eleventh hour is neither a man to admire nor to love. And as for her lover, her would-be-farmer husband, circumstances interfered between him and her which parted them finally. True, the rustic, rough and ready wooer offered before Warden Green, at his office in the peni tentiary, to marry the pretty prisoner at once, but the warden, could not permit such a sudden marriage, and Judge Moore, who had sentenced the prisoner and to whom the matter was referred, refused to consider the marriage proposition favorably or to parden out the convict for the former's sake. So the young rustic returned to Connecticut to wait for his bride till shehad served her term out. But by that time he had tired and changed his mind. This was terribly prosaic, altogether unro- mantic, but I am recording a reminiscence, not writing a novel, and the bottom facts of this strange case were simply that although in the most peculiar and striking manner a female burglar found a mother, a father and a lover in State's prison by being sent there, nothing ever came of her triple "find," and her prison romance had a realistic and colorless ending. Perhaps, after all, such an end, after such a start, was the most pecular point of the whole strange story. The Bohemian. Pope Nicholas V. was the founder of the Vatican library, which has been increased by many popes. The libraries of the Duke of Urbino, of the Elector Palatine, of Christina of Sweeden, of the family Ottoboni, and others, have been added to it. It contains 80^000 printed volumes and 24,000 manuscripts, of which 5,000 are in Greek, 16,000 in Latin, and 3,000 in the Oriental languages. The Empress of Germany is an accomplished photographer, and while on her recent trip to the Holy Land devoted much time to her favorite amusement.

The report of a, battle reaches the world over in these days of the reign of the newspaper, but without any such outside aid it can be heard far beyond the scene of actual strife. The reports of guns themselves, the real sound of battle, go far out into space, and can be distinguished a long way from the point of conflict. Prof. W. F. Sinclair says that there is nothing unusual in the hearing of artillery at a distance of sixty miles. The Bombay time guns and salutes are often heard at the northern Mahim, a distance of over fifty miles. The guns are���or were at the time when the observations were made^-very modest affairs, old fashioned twenty-four or thirty-two pounders, loaded with four or five pounds of coarse black powder, not all of which was burnt., The target practice of the forts and torret ships at Bombay was easily distinguishable from mere salutes and time guns, not merely as a louder sound, but by being felt in the chest when the others conld only be heard. The sound produced by modern powder is probably very different from tiiat;of the old black powder, so that an army in action at the present time may be relied upon to make its voice heard.���' The " din of battle "is not a figure of speech, .J THE ECONOMIST HOW HE DIED. An Episode From the Soudan. He had lived in an infant village of Scotland, lying in the bosom of the hills, wrapped in green trees, and soothed by the prattle of a fussy brook and the weird singing and sigh- ings of nature. He had, lived in the peace of solitude, with the mountains for his,great shaggy playfellows, and he scrambled among {' \ their great beards, the forests, like a little flea. The burn was his bath, and he and his companions would run around it like young white deer���diving like white arrows into the water, or framing its dear mirror like a group of baautiful nude angels whose wings.were at the washing. Here his memory was born, and the birthplace of memory is its shrine for evermore. Such was his nursery���the humming of bees, the singing of birds, the murmuring of brooks, the fanning of green branches���the nursery of life; far away from the humming of bullets, the blare of trumpets, the rolling of drums���the nursery of death. , Now he was dying. The dying have good memories. Death's door is a mirror. He had worked on the little farm' with his elder brother. His name was John���no, it was ''Jock." He-had-worked there until he was 2). He rose at 5 in the morning and yoked " Bess," the old mare-, into the plow. They - plowed together for two hours. One of "Bess'" eyes were blind���the left one. They had breakfast at eight, and Jock asked the blessing: " We thank Thee, 0 Father, for giving us our daily bread." That was all. He re�� membered it, every word. He wondered if Jock asked the blessing yet. He had a letter in his pocket from his mother and Jock. Neither of them could write, so the minister had written it for them. But his mother had spoken it all, he knew-her in every w<. r 1, except that bit at the end tellinghow old Tom, the dog, had got his leg broken in the act of hanging on to Bess' tail. Tnat was Jock's ? contribution. These terrible flies. He couldn't turn around either. Something wrong with hisback. He couldn't feel anything. Heseemed to be resting on air and the air hurt him. He was. lying beside a rock. It was black- smooth���-hard. It gleamed with the many ^ colors of an opal when the sun struck it. The sun was going down. It seemed to be hot with the day's work. It buried its red face in the sand. How silent everything was! It was like the kirk, on the Sabbath, How large the rxk was when he lay at its feet I Like life. He had never thought it so large when he walked about it four hours ago. Like life again. He had walked about it on his fe t. How strange to walk on one's feet: Where were the soldiers���his mates? Were they all killed? He was alive, but dying. His heart throbbed too fast. How still every- ^ thing was; no humming in the air, or yelling ^ of the black, white-clad devils, or oaths, or squirtings of blood���nothing but silence. Could he turn his head ? He could, but some? thing like hot water trickled over his brow There was a dead black Arab about two yards away���a ghastly bunch of martality. How black he was! "JocV' had never seen a black man. His eyes were staring at him like balls of glass. What were they staring at him for? His teeth were clenched, and his right hand held a spear. The spear point was red. One dark leg was drawn up. He looked like, a waxwork figure blown over by the wind. When did he leave home? , Two years ago ���two years ago���two years ago. Something in his ears seemed to draw out the words like elastic and ring them like bells. What was he thinking of? His memory seemed to faint and then'recover. Two years since then? was that all? _ _^ He remembered that morning very well. A ; bonnie morning. The birds were singing and ' the burn murmuring to itself. It would be murmuring now. Jock would be in bed by this time. The great mountains were clothed in purple���crimson thrones. The sheep dotted them with white spots, and they were very lonesome. He had his red coat on,, and "his sword and all; but he cried as he went oyer the brae. He remembered it very well. "S'long, Jock," he had said, but they never shook hands. " S'long Dick," said Jock, and combed dovyn the mare, y �� " S'long, mother." His mother was making, Jock's porridge, stirring it on the fire. Tom, the cat, squirmed in and out around his legs, his tail in air, as though he was drunk. Oh; God! Rover followed him up to the brae. .Rover was his collie, his dog. They had worked together many a morning up on the hill. He had shared his breakfast many a time. That nigger's eyes���-how they stared. Rover stared at him like that. " Hame! "hecried, "flame wi' ye, Rover! " The dog looked at him with surprised eyes, but did cot budge. "Hame Rover! " The dog whined, but did not move. He took up a stone and flung it at the dog. It struck it. He cowed under the blow. "Hame Rover!" he cried sternly, and the tears ran down his cheeks. The dog ran back a little way, faced about, plumped down on the heather and watched him. When he turned at the top of the brae and looked back it was watching him. A brown fly was on the black rock about a foot from his face. It stood very still, It might have been painted. He watched it intently. Its wings were like glistening armor. Its feet and legs were bright red. It had been wading in blood. Would it never go? He could not raise his hand to brush it away. He blew it with his breath���gasping���but it did; not budge. Suddenly it started away. Was the world dead that everything was so hushed? Somethimg howled very far away a dog, perhaps. How beautiful the desert was ���like a great beach with the ocean rolled away out of sight. A golden floor, like the floor of heaven. But one did not die in heaven. A, star gleamed very far away, like a shimmering jewel in a deep blue evening robe. The moon rose u^ to the roof of the world like a yellow Chinese lantern. Why was he lying there? How had it hap pened? Then he remembered���the regiment standing in the shady desert waiting for the rush. How strange it all was. The silence was terrible. A man behind him began to laugh. Another swore oaths in a low voice. Another said:' " Got a bit o' baccy, mate?" [Then, from behind the rocks a long row of white smoke puffscurled up, like smoke from gigantic pipes. Red tongues spit at them. The air hummed and whistled. A man's hat went off. A bayonet fell with a jingle, and a man sat down upon the1 sand with a scared white face, fiddling with the buttons of his, coat. Somebody began to moan. The captain, said: " Steady, men. Take the beggars low' down." .'''"., Then the great dark wave, white-crested *��� came racing across the yellow beach. It broke , upon the red rock���fierce, angry faces, blazing eyes, white1 teeth, big flapping feet. He set his teeth and drove his bayonet in a big black body. How soft it was.' It squirmed ' on the end^of it like a fly on the end of a pin. Then the blow came -a terrible shock. It seemed to lift him into the air and filling him backward. Something stopped his ears. The reeling black and red figures flashed downward. Now he was lying beside the rock. How . - strange he felt! , That dead soldier���how white ��� ' his face was! A little hole in his forehead��� .. a little red pea. ' Life had leaped through that. What a small thing it was! Who was moaning for water? Was it he, or someone behind him? He could not tell. It was getting cold. The stars were all watching him. The beauti- ' ful desert. That was Rover howling. He was very near. How loud the howling was! Death's watchdogs. He was near death's house. "S'long, Jock." How dizzy he felfc. He could not see verv well. " S'long,. mother." A black mist rushed over the sand. His head tumbled backward as though a prop had been suddenly removed. The diamond eyes turned into glass of a pale blue and green color. Extract from the newspaper���the soldier's epitaph. "Killed in the Soudan: Richard McDonald, aged 22." When at school Beatrice Plarraden possessed one of the traits that made Charlotte Bronte so popular ; she could entertain a doimitory full of girls with marvelous stories. Miss Harraden was sent to a girl's boarding school when she was 12 years old, and among the treasured things she took with her were terra cotta busts of Goethe and Schiller, a portrait of Shakespeare and a print of John Hampden. The girls thought this was a little to much, and they at once proceeded to adjust the now- comer's treasures to their own- sense of propriety. Shakespeare and Schiller disappeared, and Hampden's features were made " more Irish and less nice" by having a pipe stuck in his mouth. This sort of teasing, ' however, did not outlast the first night of storytelling, and Beatrice b came the popular girl of the jschool. THE ECONOMIST. I.-*���- OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Chinese Cooks. (Rossland Record.) , The fact that a Chinese cook killed and Ijprepared fur thpoven a fox terrier pup for a ||fan!i3y itn Rowland last Tuesday and that an- jgjoih.er was going to cook an owl on the same f| day,, vividly illusuaies that the " Heathen ||Cbinee", is unfit to lake the place of the white idoinestic servant. If a'Chinaman would cook- |ja dog or an owl, he would cook anything or |put anything into the cooking, and the filth | people who emjloy them are liable to eat IhKunoihiug awful lo-contemplate.

(London Financial News.) -y' We have seen few more pitiful manifesta- vtions of sheep-like folly than that which marked the development of the precious Anglo-American entente in this country. From the beginning the Republic has treated England with a measure of jealous impertinence that even France to-day cannot equal. England, on her part, regularly turned the other cheek to, the smiter, and the smiter smote it with added zesA of hatred. A In the unequal battleEnglaid was invariably worsted; and though this did not disturb; her good humor it seems but to have.exacerbated the'Be public. It must be a cruel blow to the English promotors of alliance to learn that the commission which was to prove the value of the new friendship is definitely doomed to failure, and that a m i -erable fiasco is inevitable. So If you waut the choicest brands and blends of tea and; coffee, go to Morrison & Caldwell. far as a treaty clearing up all elements of dispute { nd cementing close friendly relations between the United States and Canada and England is concerned, that is now recognized as out of the question. The United States delegates have attended the meetings in the spirit of a certain kind of cricket team which goes to the game intending to "win, tie or wrangle" ���save that the United States delegates will not even tie. Will Remain in the Field. (Ottawa Citizen.) The speech delivered by Sir Charles Tup- per at the meeting of the Lower Town Conservatives last night was in many respects a notable utterance. Speaking of his plans for the future Sir Charles declared that he proposes to remain in the field of active politics as long as he feels that his efforts can be a benefit to the Conservative party and the country.. Enjoying as he does' remarkable vigor and energy for a man of his age, he proposes to devote his remaining ye��rs to the service of Canada and ,to the consummation of that policy of nation-building which has been the consistent aim of the Liberal-Conservative party since confederation.,- In pursuance of this policy Sir Charles directed the attention of his audience to the strengthening of the feeling in England in favor of preferential trade as indicated bv the recent article in the Times, and pointed out the immense ad-" vantage that must accrue not only to Canada but to the general policy of imperial unity, which at the present time is obtaining' such a strong hold upon the sentiment and sympathies of the British public. Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier's speech in 1897 did. much to discouage the pcrferential ideas in England, but the trend of imperial politics is becoming steadily more favorable to its ultimate adoption, and it remains for Canada to use every effort to further the success of the movement. Canada as a Resort. (Victoria Colonist.) The Critic, of London, strongly recommends Canada as a pleasure ground, and says that a liberal expenditure of money by Britons on a holiday, is about the^only way in which the Mother country can reciprocate any trade advantages which the Dominion may extend by tariff preferences. That there isnothing in Europe comparable to Canada in the respect mentioned must be conceded. Scenery, climate, sport and luxurious means of traveling are ready to hand, and in these days of fast|trans- '������ Atlantic passages the time required for the journey is hot great. The one requisite still lacking is " the- fashion."', It is not fashionable to come to Canada for a holiday, and the average pleasure seeker goes abroad to be seen as well as to see. How can Canada be made fashionable as a pleasure ground? j We fancy that the Canadian Pacific could contribute more to an answer to this question than any other single agency. In these days when so much attention is being given to Oriental matters, it might be possible to excite sufficient interest in the, British public concerning the Canadian highway to make it quite the fasaionable thing to spend a few weeks in the summer trip to British Columbia. Doubtless to the average Britisher of leisure a transcontinental journey and an ocean journey seem like too strong a combination; but when once he learns how little discomfort and how much enjoyment the two afford, he might be induced to turn his face to the west more often than he does when in search-of=p!easure. We notice that there is much complaint in the south of France and Italy of the absence of the free-spending Britisher. He is "going further afield for his amusements. Egypt and other African points attract him. So great has the financial loss been to Italy that a discussion has taken place in the parliament at Rome as to how best to avert the consequences. With his old resorts coming into disfavor, perhaps because they have become hackneyed,-it ought not to be a very difficult thing to persuade the Britisher and his wife and family that Canada is worth attention as a pleasure ground. The effort is certainly worth making. A MISSPELLED TAIL. A little buoy said: "Mother deer, May Eye go out to play? The son is bright, the heir is clear, Owe! mother, don't say neigh!"

Chinese and Japanese Doctors. The Japanese doctor . never dreams of asking a poor patient for a fee. A proverb among the medical fraternity of that country says : < '��� When the twin enemies, poverty and disease, invade a home then he who takes, aught from that home, even though it be given him, is. a robber." "Often," says a recent writer, " will a doctor not only give his time and his medicine freely to the sufferer, but he will :\Uo give him money to tide over dire necessities." Every physician has his own dispensary, and consequently there are very few apothecaries' shops. When a rich man calls in a physician, he does not expect to receive any bill for medical services. In fact, no such thing as a doctor's bill is known in Japan, though nearly all. the modern practices are in vogue there. The doctor has never to ask for his fee; when he has finished his visits to a patient, a present is made to him of whatever sum the patient or his friends deem to he a just compensation. A Chinese doctor's fee is perhaps the smallest in the world ranging from four to ten cents, but this can be accounted for by the fact that any one can practice as doctor or physician, it only being nece sary to hang out a sign intimating the fact ; and, although they are so numerous, they are, as a body, the most respected men in China.

Many famous journal ists a i-cl men of letters havepaid for a too o.Uidid expression of unpalatable opinions by terms of imprisonment, but none of them all can ,boast a list of convictions and imprisonments that can compare with that of M. H a Rochefort, the outspoken editor of L'Intransigeant. Mr. Rochefort counts his con- victions.by, the score. If he had been endowed with the proverbial lives of a cat he could scarcely have fulfilled them all; and, indeed, his adroitness in exiling himself has reduced his years spent in prison to something like four. His first actual experience of ['prison life was "thirty years ago, [vwhen he spent several happy months in the Sainte Pelagie prison for,his attacks on Prince Pierre Buonaparte. M. Rochefort has ls the most pleasant memories of his confinement. '"My life," he says, " was a serious of luncheons and conversations. My friends inundated me with wine and food, , flowers and birdi ;" indeed, it was a time of feastings* and receptions of his friends ; and his few solitary hours were made bright' by talking to his pet bullfinches ,and canaries, or chaffing his rotund and jovial gaoled, the famous Pere - Goujon. In 1871 he was sentenced to imprisonment for life, and was transported, later, to New Caledonia, from which'he escaped in 1874. Sir Gavan Duffy, who is spending the closing days of his long life at Nice, had an excitir.s* experience of pri.-on life more ';an half a ceniury ago. In 184H he was sent to prison on a "charge of sedition, in the company of O'you- nell and other alleged conspirator*; "but he was set free by the House of Lords in the following year. Four years later he was arrested for treason-felony, and was twice tried, during an imprisonment of ten months, without conviction.. It; was during the first, of these terms of imprisonment that he began to work oil his popular collection of The Ballad Poetry of Ireland. The prisoner of the forties lived to become the Colonial Prime Minister and Speaker of the severities, and to expiate his earlier r ^hness by a life of distinguished Vrcrk in letters and politics.

His imprisonment, which lasted two < months only,,was a punishment for .publishing certain Land League reports. In this connection .it -is intere?t- ing to note, a few of the useful contributions to literature which^bave been penned within prison walls. , Jehu Banyan's Pilgrims Progress, written' during his twelve years' confinement in Bedford goal, is too veil known to call for more than mere ...mention. .It was during William Perm's seven months' imprisonment in the Tower that he was inspired to write his beautiful work, No Cross, No Crown. Daniel Defoe, at the beginning of last century, wrote his Hymn to the Pillory while suffering impris- onmen for his cl-ver s- kit, The Shortest Way With the Dissenters. Tom Payne andPrynne, the ill- j fated author of Histriomastix, wrote, much in prison. In recent years the lute Mr. Yatea', during his one month'? imprisonment for a iibel on L<.-rd Lonsdale, busied himself wil-h literary woik, and wrote part of one ol'hism.any novels; and Mr. William O'Brien, eight years ago, wrote When We Were Boys to while away the tedious hours of con fin men t.
