A\\Tith that tendency to forrl their own r.est that the Opposition press delights irr an al.tcmpt lias been made by various newspapers, particnlnrly the \" Vancouver ��������� World,\" to denounce the timher laws in ,foi-ee iir .'British Columbia. This irresponsible scandal _inongeringJiiis_discouraged capital to a curtain extent\" but \"investors whir .lmvc. invcslifj-ated- the matter have arrived at a far different conclusion. It i.s refreshing, therefore, to have the opinion of Mr. C. McCormick, AI. P., one of the heaviest shareholders in the Pacific Coast Lumber' Company and also largely 'associated with Lire Arrowhead Lumber Company'that is 1 about to build a very large mill at\" that point. In a recent interview with the \"News Advertiser,\" Mr. McCormick speaks very favorably of the laws at present in force and considers them the best in the world burring the United States. To quote*: ���������������������������\" \"Speaking of* the JJ. C.

To allow tho raw products to be exported lur manufacture'1 .'.'abroad, when the rnnrrufacturer could be forced to come to Ihe scene of \".production, and establish his work., was similar to killing the goose that was laying the golden eggs. It was uf far greater importance to a country to secure the establishment of large labor-employing mills iu its midst arid thus ensure the retention of the profits and business of both the logging and mill industries, than,'for temporary laments, to allow the produce of the eon n tr,v~lobu-shipper! \"abriTinl- in- ies\" raw state to build up manufacloricH in other lands. The proposed change would also encourage' the labor' ol\" such countries lo como to our Province, for certain portions of the year only, for the purpose of earning good money with which to retiun to tlieir owii country to spend during the slack 'sear.on.. The placing of the 'embargo upon the-export of logs irr Onlario had benefited that Province to a wonderful extent'.' Irr liig Inlet, for' instance, the 'population of. some 12,000 people had dwindled down to about 8,000 in 1SD7-S, owing to the lack of protection for the lumbering industry. Aftor the placing of tbe embargo orr the export of logs in J SOS, tlic-population again increased, and in a, vear or two reached its former strength of sorrre 10,000 or *. 12.000 people.

Seven Miles From Trout Lake Another Poplar Creek Discovered���������Discoverys Point to Big Bend. Between the discovery at Ground Hog Basin, mentioned irr onr last issue, and the widly circulated Iind at> Poplar Creek the splendid mineral zone has been located and staked with ��������� in seven miles of Trout Lake. And this strike is'equal\" to, if not better than. Poplar creek, of the same kind and with similar banging walls. The latest showing should overshadow the Poplar'outfit. AVe . say this for* two reasons, firstly, because the Poplar creek find was bruited abroad by novices while tire other1 was ther work of practical men. aird secondly because the latest excitement has allraclei prospectors of approved ability while the other- was simply a rush of \"ehe cliacos\" to a place where they thought gold was sticking up in chunks. * The first news that' came to the Hi.KAr.iT of tlie 'recent find was convoyed iir a .wire from'Trout Lake on Sunday afternoon which road: 'Another Poplar1 creek discovered, everyone excited, .'many will leave when proved.\" This despatch created considerable interest in our office, but wo decried not to be a viclin. of a stampede until something tangible was apparent. But we were too late and now proceed to tell the story of the find as given from reliable resources. About Friday last .Mr. AVm. Davie went out to do assessment work on one or two claims about seven miles north of Trout Lake. Irr the course of his work he found that,' in addition to the veins formerly located, several new outeroppings of quartz appeared which looked-like, rich ore. One of tho_<. was therefore turned over and it was then found that the gold which, owing to surface concentration, was not apparent among the largo spheres of iron capping, was clearly seen with tbe naked eye a foot or so below the surface. The news was quickly circulated by -Air. Davie and, on Saturday last, several claims were si,need. AVhen the news came to Trout Lake the excileiiient started. The* samples; brought., do wh. made, the population p'racliciiliy \"Avild. \"��������� In 'the twinkling of an \" eye business was suspended, men arrd women rushed lrp the trail iir lire-wild search for gold and, at the moment of writing, probably two or three hundred are on the giound wording.wilh pick and shovel, pan ���������and rocker, taking out for themselves gold from the auriferoi s Lardeau. This Ih id has been verified Iiy many local residents. Deputy Sheriff Knapp, who came in from Trout Lake leaving there Sunday morning, says that from 11 p. nr., until the time of his leaving, lhi. mad rush for claims continued. Tho trail was a moving mass of humanity all heading towards the recently found FI Dorado and the town of Trout Lake is descried. A press despatch fronr Beaton says: \"Thc scene of the discovery is about, three iniles- east bf the lake, in the direction of Ferguson, where the Nettie L., Silver- Cup and other- rich urines aro situated. 'the fact that it. is iir direct line with the phenomenal deposits which : have been struck on Poplar* creek irr the south rind Fish river in thenorth. indicates that the free rich gold belt of the Lartleau is from twenty to thirty miles long.\" .Without further absolule news the HioitAl.l) does not advise its readers fo seek the new locality. It is probable that by now all locations in the _viciiijty-Ju..v.c_-. been.- Ink oii^ii(*t.__Jl__n_.j new I'mil, however', demonstrates the fact that a continuity of rock, formative exists through the .'large stretch of country between the Lardeau and the Big Bend. ..Wo have insisted orr this orr several occasions, not only by personal observation but also through specimens ol'rock' from the ' various locations tnudc. There should be no particular rush to the Iind in the vicinity of Trout Lake, but practical men should investigate tho country between the places much lioomed recenlly and locate for themselves claims of equal valiio of those a I.

There are times when we who have . ived constantly in thc valleys become tissatisfied with our surroundings, with . he commonplace scenery, the narrow -lorizon and contracted vision, and bok with envious eyes to the few \"who have succeeded in climbing to tht Mountain top. Then, under some sud- ��������� ���������������������������������������������������. spell, we summon up courage, gath- rr our feeble strength and attempt to /Utinb the steep and rugged ascent. .���������'-And when at last, after many trials and -failures, we reach the summit wc arc lully rewarded for our exertions by the ;rlorious sight before us and by the cx- --.ilara.ion of thc upper air. Those in the valley can see only a -���������jmall part of the world's wonders��������� ���������>kere a field, a garden, there a cavern, ������ river or lake. Upon the mountain \"jop the sublime and awe-inspiring pros- ~|*ect of the world's wonderful design, .-.eairty, majesty and power bursts full -tpon the eye. From below we saw - ������nly a few peaks; from above hun- '���������Ireds of peaks come into view, hundreds of smaller mountains, separated ky undulations of green forests or by lilver threads of limpid waters. From .elow we !:*\\d a limited outlook, s;i\\v ���������snly our own confined surroundings��������� i few peasants, villagers or conceit-.d townspeople ; beheld only petty affairs trf mundane life, which seemed of such firamount importance to the denizens if the valley. From the heights we lave, comparatively speaking, an al- -nost unlimited horizon and can see at 'i glance many cities and villages, and 31 the distance hills and valleys, riv- :rs and lakes, and beyond the mighty -.cean embracing all things. From ibove all great cities seem but as toy 7illages, men and women as tiny mini- itures and our seemingly vast enter. -prises as the block houses of children ' it play. Standing there on the moiin- ���������tain top, in thc very presence of the Lord, as'v it were, upon the throne of creation, we seem to realize a sense of tur greater .elves and our larger pos- iibrlities, and to feel that the people ������nd the things wc have left below are ������ut the chrysalis from which we have ���������.scaped; that the world in the valley ��������� Ss but the stepping stone to the high- sr world above. ��������� -There are luminous hours in our IveS when the soul yearns to emancipate itself irom the limitations under ��������� fhich it was born and has continued ���������^V. exist, and seeks to rise to sonic ���������jigher estate of manhood or woman- sood. Wc have at times visions of *icn and women who have risen to -Ipiritual heights which we aspire to leach. They seem to live on the mountain tops of Hie arid enjoy a great..-.: 'md broader view of human affairs. They are men oi unusual wisdom, profound reason, of uncompromising convictions; men who stand on the yant- igc ground oi truth, who love right- ���������ousness. execute justice and walk -sumbly before their God; broad-gauge ���������nen, full of sympathy and love for humanity; who'.e-.ouled men and women ���������vho can sniile-.bcnignly.and speak ijrac- ���������onsly, yet wisely; philanthropists, lov- its of mankind, who temper jus^'-. urith mercy, judgment with charity, and -rho, like Divinity, are patient, long -joffering and abundant in kindness and iercy. In our better moments we seek to rtand upon such a lofty plane. Our trrdinarv lives seem commonplace, \"'���������stale, flat and unprofitable.\" We go constantly through the same routine of ���������jatrng and drinking, sleeping and w_l:- *ng. The great masses seem like thou- -���������jands and millions and myriads of ���������notecules and organized cells that aor.- ~.inbute=t6~~tf;e~mcchanrSin=oi��������� the=-uni��������� -������erse. We seem often to be only as ���������Ibe small teeth on the cog wheels of ���������rjoaian and cosmic life, rotating upon ���������*���������(. another to move some other set *i wheel* and thus transmit pjA'.r, vitality and growth to an infinite eum- ���������W of revolving wheels. Now and lien some of us rebel against a cruel, ~=5T\"least an undesirable, fate or des- Jtty. Wc a*.i>:re to some higher exigence than that of the beast; wc want ��������������� be something more than merely a nt of a cog wheel; wc have an am- -fitfon to be a power that moves the ���������heel, to be a conscious and active erecting for. c,not a mere passive piece y[ mechanism. We wish to be not the 5-rby that i* m<>ulded,but the potter who -fesign*. arid executes the plan. In our ictter !iou-s we reach out to such an 'Heal life that is far above our material, woriuiy existence, with its con- jfent round of toil and care, coupled With only a modicum of pleasure. It is such an ideal that reconciles s *to the most bitter disappointments. It a lhe buoy that keeps us afloat in the tempestuous sea of life until some un- jnpectcd help comes to our rescue. The -fean without an ideal is lost in this Srdid, sclf'sh and cold-hearted world, e is subject to despondency, de- (���������pair and a broken spirit that often allows bitter disappointment, and to ���������be loss of health, happiness and for- ���������enc as a result of the deceit and in- .jratitude of selfish and treacherous fiends. At such a time the words \"Go forth lad stand on the r-ountain top be- 'pre the Lord\" appeal to us with a rronderful fon_e. Get thee out of tbe Bough of despair, out of the vall.y ���������There dwell the narrow and tlie evil ninded, and stand on the heights of (he ideal life, with the great and thc food, before the T.or*d. This ideal for- jfies the soul, brushes aside the brood- ng care, drives away thc lowering ilouds and sends a ray of sunshine iio our dark gorrorindings. We be gin to feel that what we have lost is not all of life: there are still health, aappiness and fortune in store for us; :hat the sea is never drained; tliat new iriends can be made in place of the ola; that all truth and justice, all appreciation and sympathy are not dc- itroycd; that new love can grow even Irom the grave of a dead ailf._tion. The ideal gives new zest to life, a, new nalo to our surroundings. It spells lew opportunity and undying hope. For the Queen's Nurses.

Few people study into the reasons 'or doing a thing, and instead of doing ihcir work according to reason many lo it according to \"grandfather's rule,\" handed down from bygone days. When the soil was new, full of humus and >lant food, and was light and loose, thc roots could get through it to great .cngths easily, and if cut off by a care- ess cultivator could get plenty of food 'n the circumscribed area; but now our toils have been robbed of all material which holds them up and keeps them mellow, and are sadly deficient in lvailablc plant food, so that a larger irea is required to grow thc plant, and in injury to the roots causes a failure of food and a lessening of the yield. The ploughing between the rows and extensive hilling once in fashion is not the best method for the piesent time, and certainly is not thc cheapest. It is laid that when the potatoes were Drought back to their native home from Ireland the practice of hilling was brought with them. I know of no other reason for it. In that country they made hills, to get them up out of the too moist soil; here we need more moisture as a rule. The roots are the means by whicli food is obtained; to cut off roots is to cut off food supply. The roots as they become old and tough lose the power to take in food, and the process is continued further out where they are smaller. The older the plant the further from the base is the food obtained. The growth and length of the roots are very great. When the foliage is not more than :en inches high the roots are eighteen inches long; later tliey are from three to five feet. Should one wash away :he dirt carefully and get all the roots without breaking them, they would make a rope larger than a braid of a woman's hair. It is safe to say that by midsummer there is not an inch of soil in a potato field that is not filled with the roots. No deep cultivation can be given at this time without injury. Once I grew 150 bushels,an acre without any cultivating at all. Potatoes grow in spite of, not because of, cultivation. We cultivate to keep down weeds, to break up the crust and preserve the water supply, not to make potatoes grow. If you do not believe it, plant some and cover with straw, and sec. The method which will do all of these things best, quickest and cheapest, without injuring the root growth/ is the one we want and are seeking. The previous preparation has much to do with the methods we can use. and the after treatment should always be kept' in mind when planting anv crop. Potatoes that arc planted shallow must be hilled up some or they will be sunburned ; hence, level culture requires deeper planting. The new- tubers are always attached :o thc stalk, and are always above the seed piece planted. Therefore, a shallow-planted potato must be covered by hilling to keep thc new tubers cov- sred. This hilling not only cuts off die roots, but gives the sun a chance :o dry out the sides of the hills and decrease the yield. Where the mark was shallow and the soil was not very mellow, I would .lough deep between the rows with 1 one-horse plough or cultivator witli .���������ery sharp teeth the minute the potatoes begin to come up and before I the roots arc long. I would turn die ! iirt onto them and completely cov- jr the just protruding top. This will imother small weeds, cover them deep- :r and loosen the soil between the rows all at one operation; but the weeder across the rows should follow it once, to level and loosen the dirt j *hat is on the plants. If you have i 10 weeder use a harrow with \"pig\" teeth. ! The roots arc the canals and thc ! water the agent which carries thc food through them to the foliage. One Antarctic Exploration.

The result Is not less remarkable than that . bourn by Mr. Akf-rs-Douglas' recent census of th*. foreigners in his MoJ-itys prisons. That sho-ved* a total ot nearly .even hundred criminal aliens, maintained by tho British taxpayer at a* cost estimated at ������i������.000 a your, apart from th������*lr depredations and tho expanse of law and police. Four thousand six hundred and eighteen destitute aliens were granted poor-law rellof laBt year. Of these, 1,9_9 were admitted as Indoor cases, whilo 2J7 were sent to lunatic or Imbocllo asylums. London accounts in tho total for 3,234 destitute aliens, of whom 1,210 were indoor and 105 lunatics, or idiots. The provlncfls afforded relief to J.SM destitute aliens and 120 alien vagrants, nna tt������nt 65 to lunatic asylums.

Among tho criminals of the west end Sergeant Uelaspeo and the small black cat have come to be regarded as Inseparable friends. Not long ago thc sergeant was ushering one of Ids passengers Into tlio varr, arrd the man espied pussy standing by. \"Wiry, guv'nor, you had that cat when I had ti ride ten years ago,\" said the prisoner, who seemed quite cheered by the recollection. During liis sixteen years as conductor of \"Black Maria\" the sergeant has driven about ono hundred thousand miles between Marlborough Street, Marylobone and Bow Slroet Police Stations and Pentonvillo and Holloway Prisons, and has conducted 3U0.- 000 men and women of every, rank In'life. A baby was born during one Journey. Onco ho provided an impromptu entertainment for Queen Victoria, in his van were nineteen West End llower girls, sent to prison in default of paying lines for obstructing the streets. In Oxford street the van had to* wait while the Queen drove by, and tho nineteen girls whlled away the time by singing. The crowd laughed and cheered, and tlie Queen must have been much surprised at the cheerful strains proceeding from the black \"musical box,\" as the sergeant named It. Although ho has travelled with so many thousand prisoners, including quite a score of murderers or alleged murderers, Sergeant Delaspoe has only onco been attackd,. and that by a man who was half mad. No prisoner.has ever tried to escape from hlrn, and he attributes his Immunity from trouble to the sympathetic attitude he invariably adopted towards his charges.. One, night ho travelled with twenty men, everyone of whom was cliargod* with some act of violence. He \"boxed\" sixteen of them in the tiny compartments, and had to ride with the other-four uv the central pas- sago. Two of the four were charged with murder, but there was no disagreeable incident on the ride, although a dense fog rendered the. Journey much longer tnan usual. Peers.of the realm havo ridden In the van. After a well-known raid on a west end club three members of the nobility rode In the seclusion of \"Black Maria\" rather than ride with police officers ln hansom cabs. Of the murderers whom Mr. Delaspee escorted the most notorious were the German Muller, who killed a man by baking him in a baker's oven, and Mrs. Pearcey, who killed the wife and child of a former sweetheart. Even ln the seclusion of the prison van Mrs. Pearcey protested her Innocence, and she seemed fully to expect to be released. Another murderer on his way to trial gleefully promised to go round in the evening and see Sergeant Delaspee and present him with he bost cigar in London for his kindness. In the evening he returned, sentenced to death. A Valuable Picture Refused. There has Just come to light In Bristol, England, an Interesting romanco of a picture.

In connection with African railway undertakings. It is interesting to read an official statement Issued by Sccrotary Jones of the British South Africa Company, who recently visited Bhodesia. Mr. Jones, eays Public Opinion, speaks with special gratification of tho \"inexhaustible supply of coal\" which the advent of the railway to the Wankie coal fields will soon throw open. He estimates the initial output of the Wankie colliery at 300 tons daily, and declares that, with the exception of tho best Welsh coal, there is no better steam coal ln the world than the product of Wankie. With the- gold-mining Industry of Rhodesia we are more or less familiar, but It is not so well known that copper, zinc and other mineral deposits abound ln that region. Mr. Jones further states that the prospects of agriculture are exceedingly hopeful, and that facllltles^noWi exlst-for-thoiemployinent or modern farm machinery. Prooeedlng to Uganda, one finds that the railway there ls practically finished. AU the steel viaducts for the road have been completed, and there only remains the substitution of steel structures for a, few small and unimportant temporary bridges. Trading vessels are being placed on Victoria Kyanza. At present thero is a through train twice weekly I'n eadh direction between Mombaua and Fort Florence. - In Ethiopia and the Soudan the work ef development nnd exploitation is progressing apace. The treaty recently concluded betweon King Monelik and the British Government probably moans the early construction of tho Berber-Sunkin railroad \"via Kassala (costing seme $16,- 300,000), and tho subsequent extension of tho Kassala line southward to Lake Rudolph, where eventually It will form a function with the Uganda Railway, at the same time marking a long step toward the realization of the Cape-to-Calro scheme. A few days ago tlie DJibouli- Marrar Railway was opened; thus Ethiopia ls to be exploited from the east.

I \"It's about hiin I'm worriting,\" .111- ; ewered Nance civilly enough. \"The lad ��������� eoorrr home this afternoon, arrd he's been greeting about t' cold, and I'm rrigh sure he's downright ill. ilny bo he's caught cold wearing these fine new claes of t' doctor's.\" I \"I thought he was ill when I met him 1 In the wood this afternoon,\" said Norma. , \"Ay, so he is too, and rne wi* nobody 1 to go and fetch V doctor.\" ; Norma said eagerly: \"Let rue watch him while you go.\" j \"Oh, I doan't like for. to trouble your ladyship,\" said Nance, looking, however, ; as if she felt rather grateful, i But Norma persisted in hev oiTer, and , Nance, apologetically saying she had tried to get someone from the'neighboring cottages, but they were nil out marketing for the next day, which was Sunday, at length availed herself of the of- ' fer, and ran in to put on Irer shawl, 1 while Norma went back to her own lodging to leave her mull' antl gloves. ' , At tho door of Nance's cottage they '. Darted, Niurcu speeding away to the town, with her basket on her a 1111, after ��������� learning that Norma was quite ready to I stay for a couple of hours if necessary, irr charge of the invalid. 1 \"He's lying quiet enough,\" said Nance, ��������� \"as if he was asleep. He'll not take no notice of you, most like, your ladyship, nor so much as open his eyes. I'didn't, tell him as how you was.so good as to coom to him.\" \"All right. I'll take great care of him,\" said Norma, as she went into the cottage. Nance had made lire sick lad a bed in tho little parlor, into wlrieh the frorit .ioor of the cottage opened; and there ha lay in the corner, just as she had ;said, with his eyes closed, and a dusky flush on his face. Norma sat down without making tire least noise, in a chair which was jusfc out of his sight if he should open his eyes. She thought that lire sight of her might disturb him. so that if he would sleep on quietly without knowing sho was there, it wott'id be better for him than if she were to have to soothe him by assurances that she had nothing to worry him about whilchc was ill. As\" she sat there, recalling vividly the scene which had been enacted irr that very room only a short time before, the group of starllcd faces, the wondering women, all* crowding round the figures of Astley, tha doctor aud the boy, with the 'very same smoky little lamp, smelling strongly of pru-alliir, burning on the corner of the mantelpiece, Norma noliccd llrat the invalid was beginning to grow fesllcss, nnd to mutter and to turn in his uneasy sleep. Presently he woke with a start, and looked nt her, apparently without knowing who she was. * Norma offered him some water, as he was moving his lips as if thirsty; he drank a little, and then turned his head away and was quiet for a space. Before long, hwroesxr, ho began to'mut- tcr, and prcsr.r.JlN<������w>rirra caught a few words of sucherthilsus import that she listened with LaeLuihiiiig cars and wild eyes. \"No, no, I sw������;fv I swear I'll say nowt, not if they flays nre, I woan't!\" muttered the boy brokenly. Then after a pause he repeated the same words, varied by the repetition of a word here and there, and then again he fell into silence. Suddenly he sat up in bed, and stared before him with blazing eyes: \"Doan't do it, doan't* do it, doctor, doan't, doan't! It's murder, murder! Murder!\" He almost shrieked the Inst word, and then, after a moment's silence, during which he drew Iris breath hard, with clenched teeth and. deep moans, he fell back on the pillow with a shudder and a- low-cryr Norma shook with horror. Here then was the truth, lire ghastly horrible tru-tlr, wrung in his delirium from the unfortunate boy. Before she could move from where she sat, the lad began again. \"Doctor, doctor, it's murder! Yon poor chap's dead, und yo'vo killed him! No, no, I woan't say nowt. I woan't .say nowt!\" Always the same words, varied ever so little; always lire samo grim horror dictating it nil. And while Norma, with her face turned lo the hed, listened, terror-struck, still ns a statue, something made her look up and turn to thc middle..of.-the room; There, listening also to the boy's ravings, nnd witness of her presence there, was Dr. .Wharles, * white-faced, grim ol aspect, desperate. Norma leaped up from her w*at: brrl. .with a hand of iron, he forced hev down. :.���������:��������� /chapter xxn. Norma con trailed herself by a strong effort, arrd instead of appearing afraid of the doctor, presently looked up at him, and said: \"You frightened mc at first, Dr. \"Wharles; but I'm very jjlnd you've corae. The boy's delirious,'ami his head U full of the wildest fancies.\" The doctor, who still had his hand on her arm, looked at her for a moment suspiciously, and their said, in a sort or tentative way, ns if uncertain whether U* bullv or to conciliate: ',. \"Whnt did he say their?\" Before Norma could answer, the voice of the lad broke out once more, crying ;in a tone of abject fear: \"Doan't hurt me, doctor. I woan't say nowt, I wonn't, trust me.\" ' Norma turned her facu again to llio doetor, with an appearance of being deeply puzzled. \"There, he talks like that all the 'time.\" she said. \"I suppose, through talking to you yesterday in the wooer, where he was also on the night of the , murder, he has mixed the two occasions together. Don't you think so?\" Dr. Wharles looked her full in the eyes, tut Norma stood the test, returning his gaze without blinking. \"Ah, perhaps he has,\" said he. But before he could say more tire hoy's voice cried out again, more loudly than before: \"Doctor, doctor, doan't do nowt to me. I'll he as still as the dead, I woan't say as how I see yo murder him!\" In spite of all her cave und caution, .Norma could not repress a shudder as these wild words, earnestly uttered, came from the dry lips of the sick lad. Dr. Wharles mnde a sudden movement towards the bed, and she sprang up. As .he turned on hearing her move, they .came face to face so abruptly that there was no time for cither to prepare a mask: the real thoughts, the real feelings of each were shown on the two fSces: both knew the truth; that the man was a murderer, and that thc woman knew it. Norma, knowing lire whole truth ns certainly as if she had seen the doetor commit the crime, could not support the strain long. An irrepressible shudder ran through her, and she sank down again on the chair with her head turned away, so that she might not meet his eyes. There was a horrible silence, broken only by the mutter Ings and dcep-drnwn breaths of the sick lad. Then, when Dr. Wliarles had had time to collect his thoughts, he went up to the bed and looked at the boy.; Instantly Noinm. turned, watching him closely; and the doctor's fresh-colored face {*rew pale as he read iir her eyes suspicion of his possible intention. When he spoke, however, his voice was gentle and much softer than usual. Norma, who knew that his utterances were usually of the furl-voiced sort to be expected from the full bloodrd type of manhood to which he belonged, thought the unnaturally subdued tones uncanny. \"You are right, Lady Darwen, the boy is full of wild fancies. I always thought he must have seen something more than he owned to on the night ol\" the tragedy, aird now I'm certain of it.\" Amazed at bis audacity, Norma sat stupefied, unable to make nny sort of answer. The doctor took the lad's hand in his, and went on: \"I am very strongly of opinion thnt he knows perfectly well wko committed the murder.\" Seized with a sudden disgust at her own attitude in temporizing with this scoundrel, she answered recklessly, with unmistakable dryness: \"And J'm sure of \"it!\" .'.,'������������������ With a rapid glance at him she noted that the momentary pallor of his face had been succeeded by a deeper flush than before, and she knew that he took her ���������words as a sort of challenge. He did not turn his head, however, but sat still on the 'boy's bed, holding his hand, and 'watching him. His touch seemed to hat* a strange .effect upon Ned Raggett. Instead of crying out. as before, the lad lay very still with the exception of a slight twitching of thc rnusHcs of his face, and .very silent except for occasional and indistinct muttering.*!. \"He seems quieter -ow,\" said the doctor, after what seemed to Norma a long pause. She made ro reply. She was watching every movement of his with an eagle eye. She knew well that the man who. had not \"hesitated at murder on one occasion, would not shrink frfom a repe- tition.'of the crime in order to hide the evidence of his first misdeed. Did he mean te kill the lad, the sole possessor of his guilty secret?* Dr. Wharles tur '.*������d his head suddenly, and read her fear i;i her eyes. He met it with a horrible smile, that showed his white teeth but did \"not reach his cold blue eyes. \"Don't look so frightened, Lady Darwen,\" said he, \"'������������������he lad's not so ill as you fear. After a quiet night, he'll ba better in fche morning, take my word for it.\" Norma looked down, and said nothing. She held the firm opinion that the doctor was very anxious that Ned should noj; only have a quiet night, but that he should remain quiet for ever. There was another awkward-silence. Then the doctor said, in his old voice, ringing, sonorous, cheerful: \"Would you go and ask your landlady if she would go into the town and get a little ice? I think 1 could make him more comfortable with an ice-bag over his forehead.\" \"Mrs. Giles is out,\" said Norma. \"She's doing her Saturday night's marketing; and so are all the other neighbors, I'm afraid.\" ,..''. As she said this, she saw a look in the doctor's eye which sent a chill, down her spine. Drd he contemplate seizing the opportunity of making away not only with the sick lad, but with herself? As he \"rose abruptly from his seat on the^bedplhe^fcar^wns^so^strong-upou\" Norma that he.meant to do some mis- ehief either to her or the lad that she sprang across Ure room nnd took her place by the head of the boy's bed, glancing down at the same time at the lirtplnce by her side }o make sure that the poker was ready to her hand in case of need. It struck her ns strange that Ned, who had been quiet and silent, even in his delirious condition, while the doctor's touch was upon him, now begun to chatter and lo moan again, using always the same words, with dull reiteration. And each time that he called upon tire doctor \"not to hurt him, for he would say nowt,\" Norma felt that the niurdercr't* eyes were upon them both, and dreaded an .attack. The moments dragged wearily along; she heard the tfe-tae of the clock in the kitchen, the.movements of the fowls in the yard outside, the slight sound of the wind in the brandies of the trees on the opposite side of the lane: but never, strain her ears as she might, the sound qf a human being near. It was indeed as she had said: all the occupants of the tlrreo cottages, except poor Jsed,, had gone into the town: except for her own powers of . persuasion, stratagem or muscle, she and Ned were at the doctor's mercy���������at Ure mercy oi\" a desperate criminal.\" .*' Ned was growing noisy again, waa raising his voice to the old pitch, of screaming terror: but thc doctor, who knew that nothing could happen which would either strengthen or alter Norma's convictions concerning him, did not again try to pacify him. Instead, he walked thought fully to tho door, opened it, and looked out. Norma stared at him, watching every movement. The dimly burning, smoky lump and the red fire, combined to give but a feeble and murky light. But it I seemed that her senses wero unnaturally acute, for not the srnaJlcst action,of the doctor's, as He stood outside in lire liWJ-e porch in the darkness, escaped her. She saw him put his hand to Iris breast pocket, and, with a cry, sho rushed across the cottage floor and caused him to start. \"Why, Dr. Whirries, you carry a re volver about with you, then?\" almost shrieked ���������she, as she leaned, panting, against tire doorway, nnd the doctor, who had turned at hor words, staggered a step or two backwards irrto the lane. She had not seen arry weapon: it was ���������nly her intuition that it was a revolver his fingers were touching, when he put up his hand. Brrt tins startled, guilty look which flashed across his face at her accusation told her Ural she had made a good guess. For one moment she stared out nt hirrr, as he, taken 11 buck, found himself for a moment without a reply. Then she shut the door in his face, and drew the bolt. Tiro boy's voice from the bed rang out again, hoarsely: \"Doetor, doctor, I'll swear I sec nowt!\" Norma put up her, hands to her head, giddy wilh the horrible sensations which had followed each other so rapidly. What would happen? She had lluiig down the gauntlet now; she had let thu doctor sec that she knew him to bo tire murderer, that sho ferried irew outrages on his part. Would he leave her thore, and content himself with bold denial of there being any truth irr Ned's ravings? Or would Ire, since Ire appeared to have for a moment contemplated some sort of attack, carry out his intentions still? The suspense she felt was horrible, not to be borne. The cottage window���������there was only one to this froni room ��������� was shutterless. She crept towards it and looked out. Whether the doctor was ooncealed in the porch she could not make out; and she could hean no sound from outside. She run across the room and into the kitchen behind, to see whether he had gone round to that entrance. But even as she went, Ned cried out, in a voice of terror that arrested her steps: \"Why do you run away? Is he after you?\" He was sitting up in bed, staring at her with eyes full of terror. Fearing that the torment which he had been suffering would turn the lad's brain, arid recognizing that her first duty was to thc patient* of whom she was in charge, she contented herself with shutting the door of the room she was in and drawing a heavy chest in front of it. Then she went quickly to Ned's side, and, sitting beside him, addressed to him soothing words which, to her great relief, presently appeared to have some ell'ect upon hirrr: for he allowed himself to be persuaded to lie down again, muttering still, but with less vehemence. She was still sitting beside him, listening intently for the least sound outside, When there. was a- violent pull at the handle of the door. Norma stood up abruptly, in attitude of battle. But the voice which called out sharply to her was not that of Dr. Wharles, but of Nance Raggett, who cried out: '������>veri, open the door. I say!\" Norma ran to obey her, with a great feeling of thankfulness that her watch was over. What, however, was her horror and dismay when she found, on unbolting the door, that she was confronted, not only by Nance, but by the doctor, who followed the indignant woman into the cottage. It was he indcad wiio spoke first. ! \"Well, Mrs. Raggett, what did I tell fou? We all know that your sex has (���������rivileges, and rank also.. But for a lady, lo turn a medical man out, and lock the* Ioor upon him, when he wished to do lis duty and try to alleyiflte the sufferings of his patient, is, I think, a stretch iven of beauty's prerogative.\" \"It's a piece o' cheek aa ever I see!\" sried Mrs. Raggett indignantly.* \"And i'd ha' scon yo' nt t' bottom of t' sea, ny lady though yo' are, if I'd ha' thowt fo' meant to use Ned so!\" Norma, who felt how awkward her position was, and how hopeless it would jc for her to fry to get this woman to >elievc her, with the artful, persuasive, kandsome doctor using his utmost influence ngainst her, felt nevertheless that die had better take up at once the posilion she meant permanently lo hold as regarded tire whole matter. So she turned boldly to Nance, and laid: \"The Ind has been delirious for some time. If you will hear what he says you will undersland why I did what I did.\" The doctor broke in: \"Perhaps I can ���������xplnin this lady's motives and actions better than she could herself. Lady Darwen, naturally enough, takes sides with her husband, who, as I dare say you have heard, attacked me,in the open street the other day on account of some family affairs of his, in which he, quite wrongly, imagined that I was mixed up.\" As he spoke the doctor laid an unpleasant emphasis upon the words \"Lady Darwcn\" nnd \"hor husband,\" in order, so SHE SIGNALS* ALL SAILORS- \"Tho Little Uslit!i.,u������> Girl\" KsTer FbIIi to <;r until next time. .

Young men are not fools.

CITY COUNCIL The City Council held a short but most important meeting on Friday evening, the only business being the fixing of tax lata for the current year. The Mayor picsided and Aids. Foote, Law, McCarty and McLeod were present. After a short discussion the rates were fixed at 13 mills general and 15 mills special rate. The special rate is for amounts due on debentures and the general for civic improvements. As the rate is only on half improvements the amounts to be realized are $7911.52 for the special rate and $08*57.05 for the general. After the usual rebate is made it is pr obnble the amounts will be $7000 and $0000 respectively. As it is expected sonre $4000 profit will be made un electric light and water there is about $10,000 available for civic work, from which must be deducted the moving, fitting up and painting of the new City Hall, costing about $1250. Most nt the balance hus been already appropriated. Liberal Convention The Liberals met iu convention on Saturday evening and endorsed the candidature of J. M. Kellie for Bevel* stoke riding. Several wild'speeches were made one alleging 05 % of the' vote in Fish river. As half the electors have signed the Camborne Conservative roll the idiocy of such statements is appaient. - There is a rift in the lute, however, and already rumours \"are rife that another 'convention will be called. The reason given is that\"- Mr. Kellie, fronr his reactionary and straw clutching tendencies, is unacceptable to the rank and file ,of the party. .<��������� _��������� - Conservative Rally A.large and enthusiastic meesing of Conservatives * was held on Friday evening. President Young in the chair. Short addresses were made by Thos. Taylor, A.\" Johnson 'and, others 'and all present were confident of a handsome victory. The workers are doing nobly and will not let up until after election day. Ward committees and committee for the new Young Men's Club were formed and many other matters put in good shape. , Court of Revision At the Court of Revision held ��������� on Monday the following names were struck off the Voters List: A.

Is this true ? , Inquirer. Editor's note���������In the flrst place coal and oil lands are not. under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Mines, which office Mr. McBride held in the Dunsmuir cabinet. The only department which could be aware of the lands in question was that of Lands and Works, presided over by Mr. Wells. In the course of his evidence Mr. McBride swore that the reason given by Mr. Wells for his recommendation was the saving of 300,000 acres of land, that no intimation was given by Mr. Wells as to their value and that the council meetiug of Aug. 10th, 1001, was only a step in the negotiations to clear up the long outstanding dispute with the C. P. R. In this connection it is well to note the findings of the committee., \"The Minute of Council, which was placed before the* Governor, signed by Mr, Turner and Mr. Wells, although dated the'lOth\" August, was not signed until some date later than ��������� the 28th of August, 1901.\" , * ��������� 'Mr. McBride left Victoria about August 15th, and was in the city of Revelstoke on August 25th and 26th, 1001. He returned to Victoria ori the evening of Sept. 2nd and resigned at 10 a. m. on Sept.' 3rd. It will thus be seen that he was present at the first discussion of the matter and left Victoria immediately after. < He was* not piesent * when the Minute of Council was signed. He was not in the Cabinet on Sept. 3rd, when it was sent to the Provincial\" Secretary's office for transmission to the Governor. He was not in the Cabinet when the Order in 'Council was approved. ' He relied on Mr. Wells' statement. As he stated in his evidence: \"I never at any time went into the full details of the thing; it came from the Department of,Lands arid Works, and it is customary, if the Minister brings a ��������� recommendation into Council, it passes.\" The inference to be drawn is this, that although by his oath of .office Mr. McBride., could not divulge what occurred, there was some dissension in the Cabinet as, if not, why was not the minute signed on 10th August, when considered? That the disturbing element -was Mr. McBride is inferentially proved by the fact that, although nearly a month old, the Order was signed during Mr. McBride's ahsence on the mainland, rushed to the Governor' the day he resigned and signed by His Honour the day after. This appears to be the only correct solution or a matter thc crux .of which must, be somewhat. obscure owing to the secrecy, maintained by oath, surrounding the proceedings at Cabinet meetings. Mrs. LeMaistre and child returned from Banff on Monday evenir.g. According to the Vernon \"News\", The intermediate lacrosse match: Revelstoke vs. Vernon, took place yesterday afternoon resulting in a score of four to five in favor of Vernon. The teams were pretty evenly matched as regards weight, and the game throughout was hotly contested, the goals only coming after a great deal of energetic stick-handling. -rrn. IU // ih NOTICE.

On the other hand, the ass, seeing the Son, was so much' alarmed that his hair wistled arrd stood up. lie-no longer ������a.red bend his neck to eat the grass, nor even move from his place. Finally, the lion, growing confident, approached tire ass and said to, hiin: \"What are you doing here, comrade? 9*Tiat has mnde you so bold ns to come beret Who are you?\" To -whom the \"ass replied: \"And who are you yourself that asl: toe this i*' ' ������������������' Then the lion, astonished at this proud reply, answered: \"I am the king of all the animals.\" \"What is your name?\" demanded tin fcss. \"They call mo lion.

Nevertheless. I am of the opinion that we would better prove each other.\" Those words so puffed up the nss that he turned his lwiek virion the lion, throw his hind legs into the air and brayed very furiously to the great surnriso of ihe lion.

The -morning came, aud they arose and went, forth in company till they arrived at a deep nnd wide ditch. Then the lion tsiid to thc ass: \"JBrancaliou, 1 am your friend, but i shall never be nt rest till f know your power and skill. Do me the pleasure, i beseech you, now that the occasion pie- scats itself, to let me see which of irs ran best leap this ditch.\" Saying this, he bounded to the other side. The ass did his best to follow him, but Scaped so awkwardly that he fell upon a ���������jreai log in the. .'middle of the ditch, where he was in great danger of death, his fore feet and head on one side, and ihe rest of his body on the other. The lion, noticing the perilous condition of the ass, cried out: \"What are you doing, comrade?\" But the poor ass was past answering. So tie lion, fearing that he would die Sf left to hang there upon the log, descended into the ditch and drew him out. The ass, finding himself out of danger, turned to th������ lion and heaped tinon him all tire abuse in -liis power. The lion, astonished at this ungrateful conduct, asked why he thus upbraided hun when fee had so kindly saved his life.

Harold C. \"Ward, aon of Major A.

Ward Is carrying his left arm in a sling. Describing his singular experience he said: \" I went down lo Sargent's Station to spend a week with the eagles, intending to study their nesting habits and to collect some of thoir handsome eggs. \"It was suggested that *n*e try our. luck by the light of the moon, and wc determined to visit nn eagle's nest which we knew of in a big sycamore three or four miles distant. We set out with a fish basket to hold the eggs and a pair of climbing Irons. It was about 10 o'clock when I began to climb the sycamore. There were no birds in sight, but just as I reached the branch near which tha nest was built in a big fork I saw that the eagle was at home. \"It rose, bristling out all its feathers and making a hissing sound. I had not expected any such opposition and with a startled yell I struck at the croatrrre with my hat. There wae a swish of wings and tho bird sailed off. \"I moved along nearer the nest, built of sticks as big as my arm, and then suddenly I got a grip on the limb and ducked. There was a rusti through the air a few Inches from my head that seemed to me like a small cyclone. 'Fight liim off!' called out inj' companion, and summoning all the nerve I had left I got out my big clasp- knife. \"I had not long to wait for a chance to use it. With an angry scream I saw the eagle swooping down for me. ���������Looking my legs tightly about my perch and seizing hold of a limb on my left, I was just in time to prepare tor the blow. The bird struck me ���������squarely in the breast, nearly stunning nye, with Its wings, while it sank its talons in my left arm to the bone. I struck at lt with the knife, but It was blind with fury, and, perhaps, talcing me for a marauding wildcat or coon, fought desperately for my eyes. \"I felt my blood flowing while my clothes were being torn Into shreds by the wild passes it made. I knew that I soon must fall to the ground or be cut to pieces away up there in the tree. It was a dreadful sensation. With a howl of pain and terror I made a last effort and plunged the knife deep into the eagle's body. It seemed for a moment that It would keep on fighting We. but weakening, it released Us hold and fell off slantingly, to be lost in the gloom, carrying n.y knife with It. . \"I was too weak to do anything but hold on tor some minutes, and then you can wager I took a long breath of relief. Feeling sure I was now well quit of the eagle I recalled what I was tip in the tree for, and, looking Into the nest, saw two fine eggs', which I lowered safely into the basket.

JQ- ���������. & n A Very Impolite Dog. A man ia New York State, -writes a eorrespondent, ia the owner of a small nut pure-blooded Skye terrier, named Bex, whoso intelligence is remarkable. Borne of Rex'a bright performances certainly are the result of reasoning power, triHch used to be regarded as the gift of bhe human family only. Rex sleeps at the foot of his master's if bed, upon a soft rug of his own. He is I y t dog of good habits, better behaved than many children, in fact; but, like a, child, he insists upon his rights: his own spot before tho fire, his own corner of the sofa., his own bed and, what is most interesting, his own bedtime. Often in the evening when visitors remain beyond ten o'clock, Rex enters the parlor, walks anxiously about, and lies Jown in the very midst of the circle with fc wearied air that cannot be mistaken. 1^ U the visitors still remain, he will rise ft*. tud yawn, then mildly whine, and with rapidly wagging tail seek his master's lide and look expectantly up into his face, as if to say, \"Why \"don't they go, IO that we may retire?\" If all these tactics fail, he will drop his ears and tail and walk to the door, lometimes giving a sharp, cross bark, his (\"������������������hole manner indicating deep disapproval of such late hours. Twice in his lifo he has done more than to hint at his wishes on occasions of this kind. One wet evening a stranger, who was , .sailing upon Rex's mistress, left his rubbers near the hall door. With the privilege of an old friend*, hia call was extended beyond the hour for Rex's retirement. As usual, the dog' displayed his sleepiness and evident opinion that tlio gentleman was outstaying his welcome, but no notice was taken of him until, with an air of desperation, he marched into the parlor with one of the callcr'3 rubbers, laid it nt his feet, and then quickly returned with the other, which he placed , beside it. Then, with a triumphant gleam in his eyes, he backed off and stood looking at the stranger as if to say, \"There! Do you understand that hint?\" His second exploit was even more remarkable.' On this occasion a half-dozen people had been playing \\yhi3t with his master and mistress. When the .game was over, between ten and eleven o'clock, they still stcod or sat about tho room, engaged in conversation. Rex was tired, and thoroughly out of humor. No ono seemed to give athottght to him, and nothing that he could do attracted any attention. There were too\" many visitors to urge them all to do- part hy producing their overshoes, even ������f they wore them, but a brilliant idea canto to him. He dashed upstairs to the ���������deejjing-rooms, seized his master's nightgown, which lay ready for use upon the bed, and, dragging it behind him, spread it nt^hia master's feet in the parlor be- }ovr, in full view of the assembled guests, lliis stratagem wa3 a brilliant success, for, amid shouts of laughter and the consternation of the master, the callers said good-night. .. .

Professor Curie of Paris, wiio, aided i>y his wife, discovered and extracted from pitch-blende the strange substance :alled radiuru, recently remarked that ho would rrot venture into a room containing orre kilogram of radium be- :ause it would probably destroy iris eyesight, burn oil' his skin, und even kill liim. Radium gives oil more abundantly than any other . known substance tho mysterious emanations named Becquerel rays, which ure supposed to consist of almost infinitely ininuto particles. Thoy are driven oil with a velocity as high as 100,000 miles per sccorrd, and cause serious inflammation*, upon the hands of persona working with tho substance. They also give rise to luminous effects. In consequence of the construction of Iho great Assouan dam on the Nile, (100 miles above Cairo, the famous temples an the Island of l'hilao are partially submerged when the reservoir is full of water. Hut the civilized world would not willingly see these magnificent relics of antiquity destroyed, and accordingly an elaborate system of underpinning the buildings was adopted. Some of the colonnades and temples were found to be resting on fractured stone beams, broken by subsidence of tlie soil. Heavy steel girders, enclosed with rubble masonry and mortar, which protect them from corrosion, wore placed under the broken foundations.* nd the masonry waa carried down to bed rock beneath. The work was done in the face of considerable danger, but without accident. The project of climbing the loftiest mountain on thc earth, Mount Everest, in the Himalayas, whose tremendous head rises, according to trigonometrical .measurements, 29,002 feet above sea-level, has now reached a stage immediately antecedent to the actual attempt. A party, led by Mr. Eckenstein, an experienced climber, has set out for tho foot of the (jreat peak. Several celebrated mountain-climbers have expressed the opinion that the feat is feasible, but only by the method of gradual ascent, whereby the adventurers may become inured to the effects of a rare atmosphere. Months, and even years, may be spent in ascending to higher and higher levels, a long pause being made after every considerable advance. The highest ascent now on record is that of Aconcagua, in the Andes, tlte elevation of which is 23.0S0 feet, 5,022 feet, or more than a mile, less than the height of Everest. Recent pres3 despatches announce the discovery by a professor in Prague of a lamp lighted by means of bacteria. Of thia report \"Tho .Lancet\" (London) remarks: \"We suppose that the discovery amounts to an improved method of feeding photogenic bacteria, the existence of which has been known for some years. . . . The experiment is quite simple and easily succeeds. All that is necessary is to plane the flesh of fresh haddocks or herring in a two or three' por cent, solution of common salt, keeping the mixture at a temperature of aboirt 7 degrees C. above freezing point. After a few days it will be found that not merely the flesh \"of the fish but also the whole of the liquid in which it is immersed gives off' a pale greenish light, which becomes much more brilliant if a little sugar is added. ; . * . Doubtless by paying attention to the needs_ of these specific bacteria���������by employing, for example, highly stimulating food���������t more intense light than was hitherto the case has been obtained. It is even suggested that the bacteria light might afford a safety-lamp for the miner.\" Probably few persons who go up or down Broadway or any other important thoroughfare of New York city have ever stopped to ask why the hands ou the faces of nearly all the big wooden clocks that swing as signs over jewelry stores indicate that it is eighteen minutes past eight o'clock. These clock hands indicate; according to the New York \"Tribune,\" the exact time in the evening when Lincoln, nccompanied by his wife, left the White House on April 14, 1805, to go to Ford's Theater, Washington, where John Wilkes Booth, the actor, shot him. The man who first originated this wooden clock sign idea Irad a workshop in a downtown street in 1805, and shortly after the assassination ire conceived the idea of painting the hands on all hia signs to point out this special time. His successors in the business continued the practice, as -lid other men. There is probably not a great street in New York city to-day that has not one or more of these reminders. Tobogg-aningi Into a Bear. A member of the Wellman polar expedition of 1808-P, Paul Bj( rvig, is described by Mr. Walter Weiiman, in \"A Tragedy of the Far North,\" as a man of superior courage, of unexampled fortitude and of inspiring character. If fclrero was a bit of dangerous work to do, he was sure to be the first to plunge in. He sang and laughed at his work. If ho went down into a \"povridge,\" half ice and half salt water, and was pulled out by hia hair, hc came up with a joke about the ico cream freezer. One day three men were out bcar-hunt- Ing on an island. Two of them had rifles, the other had none. The last was Bjoervig. They found a bear, wounded him, and chased him to the top of a glacier. There bruin stood at bay. Ono of tiro huntcra went to the left, another to the right. Bjoervig laboriously mounted the ice-pile to scare the beast down where the others might get a shot. But one of the hunters became impatient, and started to climb up also. On the way ho lost hia footing, fell, and slid forty or fifty feet into a pocket of soft snow. At that moment, unfortunately, Bjoervig frightened the bear. Leaving the summit of the ice-heap, the beast slipped ind slid straight toward the helpless man, who was floundering up to his armpits below. Apparently the man's life was not worth a half-kroner. In a few seconds the bear would be upon him, and would tear him to pieces. The brute was wounded, furious, desperate. Bjoervig saw what he had to do. He did not hesitate. He followed the bear. From his perch at the summit he threw himself down the precipitous slope. He rolled, fell, slipped straight down toward the big white bear. He had no weapon but an oaken skee-staff, a mere cane; nevertheless he made straight for the bear. Down tlie hillock slope he came, -bumping and leaping, and yelling at the top of his voice. His cries, the commotion which he raised, the vision the bear saw of a man flying down at him, frightened the 'beast half out* of his wits; diverted his attention from the imperiled hunter to the bold pursuer. This ivas what Bjoervig was working for. _ The bear, dug his -mighty claws into the iee and stopped and looked at Bjoervig, but Bjoervig could not stopl The slope was too steep, his momentum too great. He dug his hands into the crust of the snow; he tried to thrust his skee- staff deep into the surface. It wns in vain. Now he was almost upon the bear; the beast crouched to spring at him. Another second and it would all be over. Crack! the rifle spoke. The man down below had had time to recover his equilibrium. Another shot'and the battle was over. Bjoervig and the bear rolle'd down together. . \"You saved my life,\" said tho mar. with the gun, when Bjoervig had picked himself up. \"No, no,\" responded Bjoervig, whipping the snow out of liis hair, \"you saved mine.\" The Domestic Shah. i Spoiled the Scene.

This untamable little creature, which Is well called \"The Terror of tho Neighborhood,\" is perhaps the most feared and dreaded of all animal*;, and the one that causes the most aggravation. Most peopie have Uie samo instinctive desire to throttle a boy at sight, and on general principles, that they have to kill a snake. Unfortunately, the law prevents this; and as it has been found inexpedient to keep it confined like a lion or a jackal in a steel cage, out of harm's way, human beings have been unable to protect themselves against a creature so bloodthirsty that it finds its chief delight in torturing its victims. Thia causes everyone to view the advent of a Boy in a community witb alarm, while the presence of two or three depreciates the value of property and makes nervous people flee from the vicinity. Although naturalists have devoted much time to the study of this subject, they have never 'been able to definitely classify the Boy, owing to his partaking of the obnoxious traits of all the other animals. Physically, it is all Stomach and Yell, with a rudimentary heart and no soul. Notwithstanding all this, however, the Boy ia greatly_ esteemed as a household pet, and is quite generally kept in that capacity. Indeed, few families are satisfied and happy without one, although after having received* one they never know another minute'3 peace and quiet as long as they have it about the house. This is the most startling fact in all natural history, as, having observed their friends' boys, one would think that no money could induce a person to undertake to raise a creature that was so much trouble. In looks the Boy presents a curious anomaly, as it changes at different ages. When it is quite young, and at the time, it may be observed, that most people select it, it is soft and beautiful, with nn angelic expression that appeals strongly to female owners and causes them to rave over it.

A little later it gets stringy and long- legged, with pale green ������ freckles and warts, and generally uncouth and unprepossessing appearance; Fortunately, ���������however, 'by this time its owners have become attached to it; otherwise it would be cast out to perish. The habits of the Boy afford a most instructive study. It eats steadily from the time it gets up until it goes to bed, and devours the most indigestible substances with perfect impunity. Green apples, liquorice, hunks' of bread and meat, doughnuts and whole pots of jam disappear down its throat without raising the slightest commotion in its stomach. When it is not opening its mouth to poke food down, it is opening it to emit a series of hideous sounds, so practically a Boy's mouth is never shut. These sounds are unintelligible to human beings, 'hut are apparently understood by its mates. Naturalists also call attention to the fact that a Boy is the only animal that spends its time in play; arrd it 'hasbeen further observed that it soon wearies of any sport that does not hurt someone else. Another curious thing is that although a Boy can play all day, he becomes ill and weary the nunute work is suggested to him or he starts to school. Thia is probably constitutional. Occasionally a boy has been broken in to do a few household tasks, but it requires so much energy and trouble to make it do any useful work that few people fcave the physical strength to attempt it. . 'Boys are also femiphobes, and frequently bite and kick when a pretty girl desires to kiss them and stroke their hair. In time, however, they can be broken of this bad habit, antl taught to endure female caresses with much equanimity. The chief characteristic of a Boy is hi3 aversion to* soap and water. In this it is like the. cat, and it is witli difficulty driven near the bath tub. It also balks at 'being dressed up and shown off before company. Now and then, it is true, you find one who will consent to be adorned in Fauntleroy collars, and who will get out on the floor and do its little tricks without the whip, but these are never pure-blooded Boys. They are mongrels ���������with a strong strain of Sissy in them. A curious tiring in this connection is that everyone who owns a Boy believes that he is a wonder and will be a future winner in the show. He also bitterly resents the insinuation that hia Boy possesses the same characteristics of other ���������boys, or would be guilty of such a tiring as breaking windows or ringing old maids' door bells. Most people, aa has been said, like to keep-a-Boy- them selves,- but -all,-wilhoui exception, object to their neighbor's, and those who have none get even by prophesying evil things of the Boy acrosa Hie street. Sometimes, however, the creature turns out well, and then wo all brag that ire knew it when it was a Boy. His Complaint .

They gather there every Monday morning of the year. It is an old custom of the quarter, the origin of which is forgotten in tire melee of traditions. \"It is a strange group of humanity, these models, in their varied and eccen- trio costumes. Velveteens, long cloaks ���������(which drape the figure with a certain picturesque grace), wide soft hats, and long hair seem to be the accepted mode, as well as the peasant's costume of Italy, which the women sometimes wear. The men who possess costumes* usually carry them in a bag of bright stuff un*dcr their long cloaks. - \"The commandirrg Raphael,' whose name, no doubt, wu3 chosen after hia choice of profession, occupies the central position, partly by reason of his great height and also because ha is a bulwark around which the weaker members cling* He is to a limited extent a born tragedian. His natm-al pose is one of uncompromising fierceness, lie, the mildest- hearted of old poseurs, would make a splendid model for a bandit, with his fierce brows, long wild looks and beard. \"A little pathetic, faded, grimy figure by liis side is 'grand mere,' as they call her, an old, gray-haired woman, still hugging the illusions of her youth, and wailing in tihe tawdry splendor of her national costume for the painters who used \"to celebrate her, and who have long since passed by for the last time. The kindly Raphael taps his brow significantly, and murmurs 'Bile est follel' \"And that little rogue Jean Dagnano of the glorious melancholy eyes! It is not often tliat Jean joins the group at tlte Place, for he is a much-requested model, and his engagements are made ahead, but sometimes he comes looking like a little old man in his long trousers, much too big for him, and great hat which reposes comically over his ears. But even in those absurd clothes he has a certain charm���������the union of the ludicrous witli the beautiful. \"Tlie young Madonna but recently como from the vineyards of Italy, her brown cheeks still warm with Southern sunshine, has learned the value of a sweetly maternal expression, and is always provided with an enfant of the proper age, even when she must rent it! \"The painter descends from his heights at an early hour, and proceeds slowly to the Place. He appears in the distance! The curtain has risen, the play has begun! \"Raphael, with a step forward, tosses his head and knits his shaggy browa into their fiercest expression; the elder Dagnano turns his martyred eyes heavenward; the Madonna rests hers tenderly on the infant for whom she is paying a franc a day; the short man with thc bushy hair, whose figure shed of its strange garments is a model of athletic power, turns his back (which is his good point) and demands a light of his gay friend!
