He not only puts joy in his work, but he is a philanthropist in every sense of the word, for he has bestowed upon his fellowmen something that could not be purchased by wealth or influence. If there is any- thing well known, any fact undisputed among horticulturist, ib is that, as a role no tree fruit will exactly reproduce itielf from seed. While this is true of all tree fruits, the apple tree is remarkable, in that-valuable varieties never reproduce themselves. Plant a bushel of apple seed all taken from, say, v the Wealthy. While i't would be possible, still it wonld be highly improbable that out of the whole lot Beedliugs yoa would get a single Wealthy tree. This is true, of any given named variety. The absolute fact3 are, technically speaking, that on planting thie bushel of apple seed mentioned, Vltien the seedlings are grown there will be no two trees alike in every respect, and what is more, there will be no tree that is exactly like any known tree heretofore grown, with tho exception of those whioh revert back to the original stook as before btated. Many valuable varieties will be found among them, but all differing in some way from kinds now grown and classified. Consequently to perpetuate a glveu variety grafting or budding in some form must bo resorted to.' To produce hardy applo seedlings where vory few apples are grown, sow ihe seeds of apples produood in tho lo-, oallty or as miar ob possible. Another thing noticed in connection with tho growing of apple trees from Boed ia that an applo seedling thot has never been transplanted may bo to all appearances quite hardy bo fnr as the old troo Ib concerned, but when an effort is mivclo to propagate ib by grafting, tho grafted troos are found to bo quito ton- dor.

"After graduating I came to British Columbia to take up my profession as a private nurse. The first case I took I found I was not able to go on with my work.

At av given -siainal, several ot Gloucester's far- fniiied cheeses are set rolling from the summit, ihd then ensues a mad chase for their capture by the men and bovs of the district and any of the onlookers who are sufficiently reckless to join in the pursuit. Helter-skelter they rush down the hill, many lose their foothold and roll over and over in their frant'c efforts to capture the prize.

That may happen if you do not arrange for at least a portion of your coal supply now. The Miner's Strike is Still Unsettled. Owing to the long period of idleness there, is now no stock of coal available in the western, towns.

Canadian Manufacturer Does Not Impose on the Duties Ah erroneous impression exists in the minds of many Western people, that the manufacturer of Canada takes advantage of the tariff by raising his selling price by the full amount of the duty, with which he it protected from foreign competition. Facts show .thut the Canadian manu- factu. >r does not, and could not safely, do such a thing. The home manufacturer; to-day, does seven times as much business in Canada"as the foreign manufacturer. Would the factories of Canada be able to secure that much more business than the keen foreign competitor-if prices were so inflated? No they would not and the main purpose of the tariff is not to rob, but to protect. That the manufacturer, should be able to improve the quality of hiB product and at the same timo reduce the price to the consumer may at first seem incredible, but it all hinges upon tho output. Every manufacturing operation whether large or small involves ii certain amount of stationary overhead expenso inoluding such items as rent, heat, light, insurance, taxes, office expenses, superintendence, oto. If those expenses havo to bo mot out, of tho returna from a smull output it follows that tho proportion carried by each unit of production will be comparatively high. But if on the othor hand they can ba spread over a lotgc output, then tho proportion carried by each unit ot production may become insip;ni- flcantly Bmall, Generally Rponking, the larger the output tho lowor the post of production and tho ohoanor tho prico to tho consumer, honco tho advantage of a tariff which secures tho homo market, or nt, least tho bulk of it to the home manufacturer. A fow examples will suffice to 11- luhtrato how thia works out., In 1878 o Canadian company began the manu- faoturo of buggies. In 1879 thoy sold all told about 3 biiRglca, for which formers paid them from $100 to $170 eaoh.

It broke me "in more gradually to the many hardships I had to face. y ���������; You must remember that I was fresh from the States; that for years I had enjoyed warm bedrooms, unlimitedv hot water and home life and comforts. My present room was large (about lOx 16 feet) and lofty. Two curtalnless windows- looked out upon the city.' This is a proverbially smoke-stained city; It is hilly; also, and the roofs of the shops and houses' rose and fell like the waves of a-great black ocean as far as the eye could reach.

Midway between was our sitting, room, a very spacious apartment,- furnished with the same simplicity and economy as the bedrooms. In one corner stood the only luxury, a piano, subscribed for and belonging to the girls tiiemseivoa, ��������� ���������having been paid for on the installment system, in the wintertime there was a fire In this room all day, and the lighting arrangement was good., generally.

The Laurier Government seem to rely more upon the Solid Quebec, and the momem- tum of their past victories than upon the merits of Reciprocity, whilst the Premier himself has become quite pathetic, with his references to grey hairs and the welcome rest from political strife which defeat would bring to his old age. The most telling points so far made on the Conservative side, are the series oi revelations as to the present pronounced slackness and dullness of the United States Markets, and the general uncertainty as to the business outlook in the States, as compared with tbe bouy- ���������ancy of Canadian business life, concluding with the pertinent query, * Why not let well alone.7 T he advocates of Reciprocitj-, backed by the gold of Jim Hill and the American Trusts, promises golden future even more prosperous than the present, but a commercial alliance between prosperous Miss Canada and stagnant Uncle Sam, would hardly warrent the promises held out to her by the Liberal Spell Binders. Under the Nationalist and Protective Policy of the past ten years, Canada is forging ahead by leaps sand bounds, years ago when the States were prosperous and Canada was a baby state, we asked in vain for trade justice from Uncle Sam, but that astute gentleman now sees in our present prosperity and undeveloped natural resources, a convenient safety valve for the ills that are afflicting his monopoly ridden country. The wise Canadian will hesitate ere he sacrifice his present advantage to sink his commercial tuture in the maw of his trustified rival. Vote for the Conservative Party, and thus help to kill Reciprocity, and avoid the danger of Annexation to Washington which lurks behind Sir Wilfred's smug prrposals, and thus ensure a continuence of the present abounding prosperity of this country. The Strike situation in the Crows Nest Pass and other Western coal fields, has undergone an important change in the last week, the operators have announced their intention to proceed with the operation of the mines on the basis of the majority report of the conciliation board, and announce they will open the mines to men who are prepared to work, irrespective of whether they are Union Men or otherwise. The Striking Miners have a right to stay away froai work as long as they choose, whether they call such stoppage a strike or a holiday, but no person will deny that the operators also have the right to throw the mines open and employ any men who are willing to accept the conditions, and such workers should be given the protection which the law guarantees to all law abiding people. Whilst the strikers possess the right to withold their own labor power, they should not be allowed to intimidate by unlawful means, any other mm who may choose to go to work, and the Governmeut must be prepared to see that the law is enforced equally upon Owners and Miners, to prevent all intimidation, riots and lawlessness.

But wbat relation could there be between this pin and tbe adventure ot Old Bob'; Rauce did not wait for tis to ask bim. but imrried ou to tell us that this little pin bad disappeared at tbe same time as Old Hob and tbat be bad found St in tbe possession of "tae Qangman of tbe sea." fastening a sbeat ot banknotes wbicb tbe old uncle bad paid him on that fated nigte t for bis complicity and bis silence In having brought bim iu the fisher, boat to tbe grotto of Uoraeo *#���������<������<!

Edith uttered a cry and tried to run out of the room, but Kouletabille. wbo oad not made so turn-a as a gesture, calmed her witb a woru. "if any oue had drawn upon him," be said, "tbe tbree men would* bave bred together. That pistol snot was merely a signal���������a direction for me to begin." Turning to me, he continued: "M.

Wben the circle wa������ traced Rouletabille. putting down bis compass, picked up tbe tiny disn of red paint and asked M. Uarsaur wbetber be recognized it as tne coloring matter be bad used. M. Darzac replied that, to tbe best ot bis belief, it was tbe same paint wbicb be bad mixed for bis wasb drawing. A good bait of the paint bad dried up in tbe bottom of tbe disb: but. according to the opiuiou expressed by M. Darzac. tbe part wbtcb remained wonld upon paper give uearly tbe. same tint witb wbicb be bad "washed" the drawing of tbe peninsula of Hercules. "No one bas touched It." said Rouletabille-very-gravely, "and nothing baa been added to it save a single tear. Besides, you will see thut u tear more or lest! In tbe paint cup would detract nothing from tbe value of my demonstration." Thus saying, he dipped the brush tn tbe, paint aud began carefully to "wash'.' all tbe space occupied by the circle which be bud previously traced. Wben he bad finished he looked at bis watch and said: "You may see. ladies and gentlemen, tbat tbe coating of paint which covers my circle Is neither more nor less thick than tbat which covers the circle of M. Darsuic. It Is almost the same thing���������the same tint." "Undoubtedly," rejoined M. Darzac. "But what does nil this signify? 1 was certainly In enough of nn III humor when I found the state It was In. Old Rob bnd ruined my drawing by letting his skull roll over It" "We are there!" spoke up Rouletabille quick us a flush. And he lifted from the bureau the "oldest skull of the human race." Oe turned It over and showed the crimsoned jaws to OttHiHC. Then be anise, holding the skull In the crook of bis arm, nnd went Intt the alcove in tlio wall, lighted by a targe window und crossed by burs, wbicb bud been a loophole fnr canunc in tbe ancient times and which M. .Duratc hnd used us a dressing room.

He stood iu mute contemplation before his own drawing for ten minutes, during which*be bad by a sign ordered us to keep silence. Suddenly be seized the skull iu hU right hand and tossed It about so thai It rolled over tbe drawing. Then he .showed us the skull and bade us notice tbat it bore no trace of red paint, Rouletabille drew out bis watch again, "The paint has dried upon tbe plan." he said. "It bas taken a quarter of au hour to dry. Upon the 11th of April w������ saw at 5 o'clock lu the afternoon Darzac entering the square tower aad coming from out ot doors. But Darzac after having entered tbe square towes and after having iusiened bebind bins the bolts of his 'door, ua be tells us, bad not gone out again until we came to fetch bim after t> o'clock. As to Old Bob. we bad seeu him enter tbe square tower at 6 o'clock, aud there waa no paint on tbis skull tben. "How was tbis paint, which has taken only a quarter of an boor to dry upon this plan, fresh enough still- more than an bour after Darzac had left it���������to stain Old Bob's skull wben the savant, witb a movemeut of anger, threw it down ou tbe plan as be entered tbe round tower? Tbere Is only one explanation of tbis. and I defy yon to find another, and tnat is that tbe Robert Darzac wbo entered tbe square tower at 5 o'clock and whom no one bad seen going out again was hot the same as tbe one who came to paint in tbe round tower before the arrival of Old Bob at 6 o'clock and whom we found iu the room in the square tower without baving seeu bim enter there and with whom we went out. ln oue word, be was not tbe same man as tbe M. Darzac bere present before us. Tbe testimony of pure reason shows that there are two personalities appearing in tbe guise of Ebbert Darzac" And Rouletabille turned his eyes full upon the mau whose name ne bad uttered. '���������' ;'���������' y Darzac, like, all tbe rest of us. was under the spell of tbe luminous demonstration of the youug reporter, we were all divided between a iiew bor- ror and a boundless adiuirutiou. Here again we found the Mnurk of his pro- ; digious. and logical uiatuemuticai intelligence. ... . (To be continued.) The Secretary Bird. The strange long-legged bird inhabiting por^.jns of South Africa, which has the peculiar title of "secretary" bird owing to the tuft, of feathers resembling a bunch of quills behind the ear of a bookkewper or secretary, has some very odd habits. It- is a bird that seldom uses its wings in flight, unless it deems it necessary to avoid some enemy on the surface. It can run when disturbed at about the same rate a.horse can travel, but. if it resorts to wing flight.. it can raise itself several hundred feet in the air and fly quite rapidly. They ave great snake-killing birds, and resort ..to some rather unique methods in capturing the various reptiles found in that country. The nest of the secretary bird is certainly a novelty. It is seldom constructed anywhere except in a tall tree, about 150 or 200 feet from the ground. These nests ore mammoth affairs. The materials used are heavy aticks and a lot of lumps of sod. These are placed in the. forks of a stout branch nnd the whole nest lined with a line grasB or mosB. Two eggs arc usually deposited and incubation by the female bird lasts six weeks.

"It .is now that I call the Lord oi all power to wittnes, yet.I.'"ever have bine and am resolved that it was never in the worthy hart of Sr. Robert Cecyll (what soever a counselor of State and a Lord Treasurer of Ing; lound must do) to suffer me to fall, much less to perrish. For \. hatsbevier names it hath pleased his Lordship to use towards me, which might utterly dispaire any bodie else, yet I know'yt he spake then aa a counselor, sitting in counsell in company of such as would not otherwise have bine satisfied. "But, as-.God liveth, I would have bought his presence att a far dearer rate than these sharp words and those three months' close imprisonment, for' it is in his Lordship'shart and countenance that I behold all Ayt remaynes to me of comfort sind ail the,:hope I have, and from which I shall never, be beaten till 1 see the lact of evills and the disapiTe, which haht no healp.

The letter was probably written in 1610, when for three months the. enemies of Raleigh, or Ralegh, aB he spelled the name, succeeded in depriving him of the society of his wife, who was ordered to leave the Tower. .Ee was released in 1615-1$" to go on a hunt for gold in Sputh America, but failing in his quest was-re-arrested on his return to England and was executed on Oct. 29, 1618. ���������The Ungodly Cough." "You never know where he is going to break out next," someone once said regarding Rev. R. J. Campbell, pastor of the City Temple, who is about to visit Canada on .a-preaching tour. This person-was, refewing particularly to Jar. Campbell's somewhat unconventional remarks. On. one occasion he addressed.his hearers upon the timely subject-of congregational -coughing, and assured them that there was such a thing as "the ungodly cough." Then, again, he one day stopped his congregation singing that hymn, "0, Beautiful My Country," saying that the compilers of the hymn book had spoilt- it by altering the tune. And then, breaking into song, he sang the lines as he thought they should be written. The applause which greeted this musical effort was tremendous. Apparently, however, Mr. Campbell, does not consider himself to be the broadmind- ed man his admirerB imagine, for, when he was asked if he was likely to Btay abroad, he replied, "I am such a narrow, bigoted John Bull that 1 am afraid I couldn't be comfortable in auy country but my own."

Tbat cancer is. due toV,a .parasitic fundus- that -stimulates ��������� thie���������>animal. cells so that they become parasitic themselves is theV view, advanced .in a new work by C. E. Green, a British medical student. The theory is, based- on the resemblance of animal cancers to plant tumors and supposes, that the undiscovered organism of animal cancers must be very similar to Plasmodiopnora brassical, the cause of plant cancer. Sulphurous substances specially favor the growth of the plant parasite, while calcium and copper tend to destroy it. As this would suggest, human cancer is most- common in chimney sweeps, brewers and furriers, who are most exposed to sulphur vapors, and is rarest in. tanners; copper workers and paper- makers, whose occupations bring contact with copper or lime. The houses, and districts that have most cancer, moreover,, are those where sulphur dioxide is present in the air���������that is, ���������Where coal is burh'ecl A and ''Chimney draft and ventilation are imperfect. .��������� ,i i ������������������.',]��������� '. .

South Africa fa Called on ta Face a Huge Question.. There will be many important points | on which the union Parliament will have to come to a decision, but perhaps it will be agreed that the most * vital of all South African questions, and the one needing the earliest and soundest solution, ia that of the Native Policy. The native territories, large in extent and with rapidly growing populations, may within a few years.become part and parcel of the Union of South Africa, and some definite scheme for the future governing of these* great populous territories will have to be die- vised;'one which will give the native^ no handle with which to shake the confidence of the outside world "in the wisdom and integrity of the Union Government-, while at the same time it appeases, the ' established feelings pi the dominant color. The difficulties that beset the path of satisfactory legislation having;for its aim the gradual elevation, to political rights of so primitive arid diverse tribes, must of necessity be numerous Nevertheless, a way must be found, ahd that between the extremes'of the hollow - American "Man and a Brother" and the "Nigger and a Dog" feeling. With'-the great'advancement ot education; among the natives; with the recognized c striving \ for book learning which7 they evince, and above all with the example of the whites before them', it is. very natural that they should move for "the possession of some Soft of political franchises In what manner is it possible. to grant; with benefit' to the natives and at the: same time with dignity to the whites, this rational demand?,. Under existing circumstances ' the position is rou������>.ly thisi. In the Gape Province natives may . attain^ a ^.vpte under more'or less easy qh'alificafibhs i in the Transvaal and Orange River Colony they' have no vote. In Natal the qua!ificaiib������&' is -so stringent that it is practically prohibitive.; The Basu-y tos hold Pitsos, which arc assemblies of' chiefs^ or' headm'eh, iih1' wtticrl their tribal affairs are discussed;.-,The Swa������-; is and Zulus have nothing resembling eithfer the Parliament bt: the white man or the Pitso of;thevBasutq.: Thousands of natives are with extra- ordinlary; diligence'���������> acquiring knowledge; already hundreds have been sent over to America to undergo a course of education there;: and: thus the white of South A Africa must, be prepared shortly for a strong display of native educational* Jesuits.; terminating- in a well-founded cry for, political rights. Now, in the Basutb appears to be tho whole solution of the* matter1; why not have a native Parliament to which all the rnatiye^tTibeS'iof*' South Africa could sendVrepresentatives? Take away the A franchise of the natives ai the. Cape asiatApresentiv exercised, in favor of a. more extended one; for a ; Parliament of! their own j, place this Parliament under ��������� a commission, who would forward to the Union Parliament; * for V ratification: or otherwise : such-V fesoIuti6ns7.;a3 'have come to theni from the Pitab.

The English rule is that if there is light* enough to.see the face of the intruder thero .la no burglary. Thi.**, however, does not include moonlight, for a housebreaker entering after nightfall, however brightly the moon may be shining, is legally a burt'tr���������that' lay if it is reo- sonably certain that ,he has entered wiih the intent to commit felony, for while a tramp breaking into a house to sleep may be a housebronkcr he is not in the proper sense of a word a burglar. Burglary, however, may consist in breaking out as well as breaking in. forgone who bidoB in a house boforo nightfall to steal and after stealing breaks out to get away" is just oh much a burglar ns ho who to effect his purpose breaks in.

Hint for To-morrow. Whatever rou see to do that doesn't really ooncern you, don't du it Pickled Bteel. "To keep the iron and steel used in building big ships from rusting," an engineer told the reporter j 'Ms a matter of supreme impottance. The .Brit- ish Admiralty is very parti Alar that every piece shall be painted the moment it is ready for building purposes. But Uie steel plates form'a nard black surface, called "mill scale,", in tho procoss of manufacture,; This clings tenaciously to tlio jjlnte, and if it is covered wiih paint, and afterwards the plate gets dnmuged, then the scale peels off, taking the paint with it, and leaving the steel bare. The plate is then liable to rust-corrosion, a serious danger to tho ship. "We therefore remove every trace of norilo beforo painting the steel plate. It is put into a'bath of dlluto hydrochloric acid for a few hours, whioh loosens the scale. The.nlate ia thon brushed with wire bruslJ������d and washed with a hose. This is what we call ���������pickling steer." Footwear For the Fashionable. The very lntoat footwear for fashionable folk is certainly not lacking in novelty. Recently there was exhibited in Bond btreet a pair of ahoua made of the breast feathers of humming birds. They wore priced at $2.- 600, a record figure for shoos without diamond or jewel settings. In the same establishment were shown bed-room slipr-urs of silk brocade, trimmed with marabout feath- mm, and tin'*" cuultf be obtained for the comparatively nmall sum of ������7. The chiuipust boot in this nhop it prict-d at ������4; white silk slocking* ara sold at 10s. to ������d the pair. But you cannot order slngla pairs here; the first order lor shoes must be for not less than ten pairs, and with each pa to* six pairs ol ftocUiugs to matoh ta* summed. ���������fdd Sverywhwa. ta boxes ttOm &* I sets ON A SPOT CASH oy ss������* ANTEE GUfiES While Ror^: Work or Rest StnSeKss-3!9������at SSAii Cii^ets^carutin.finm quiek ������nd infallible ^ure-for OaUh.

Attention now, ������ood people all, i, A word to you I'd say, About that Annexation man, Sir "Wilfrid Laurier. Whose smooth deceptivo tongue, backed up By gestures, quirks and jeers, Has bulldosed this Canadian land Por more than fifteen years. In "96 you all were told, Reforms would come "glaore;" Prom where Atlantic billows roll, To calm Pacific's shore, That forty million outlay of The ''pirate Tory crew," He viewed with pessimistic woe, Pour millions less would do. He crossed the Commons floor in Juue, 'Mid plaudits loud and long, The parasite and grafter then, Burst forth in speech and song, And straight upon the federal chest, Advanced a desperate crew, "Lead on, MaoDuff," their battle cry, "To poverty, adieu!" The Yukon district was to go, To wily Bill and Dan. Had not a Tory senate balked This well-concerted plan. It also killed the "Drummond r deal," And saved a million, too, That would have lined the pockets of Another favored few. Directors of the poor old "Globe," With characteristic "brass." Soon scented out a coal mine in The Rooky "Crow's Nest Pass." From timber belts or western lands, The leading "Grits" might ohoose, While Bernier ploughed the Arctio Seas, With ostrich plumes and "booze" tfhe building of the G. T. P., Canadians will rob, Three hundred millions of their gold. Will not complete the job. Sir Wilfrid's engineer resigned, In protest of tho graft, And when Sir Wilfrid heard of it, He juBtset baok and laughed. Tno contractors woro waxing fat, A Vulturous, grasping band Tho contract prioo for blasting rock, Wns paid for digging sand. Tho aonudlos wore tho talk of all, In hamlet, tower ond town, And when tho graft wna at its hoight, Tho Queboo bridge fell down. Two million dollars worth of steel, Just topplod ont of sight, A "Ynukoo" bunch wns on the work, Thoy couldn't do it right. "Wo need no Buporvislon hero," Snid rookloso Laurier. Our "Yankoo" friouds wo will pro. J toot, And "Jack Cannok" most pay. To placo upon tho riyor bank, Tho wrookod and snnkon stool, They granted fifty thouHoud movo, To IliilBh up the doitl, But lutor rovolations oame, That put tho rest to rout, They made a present of tho stool To "Qtlta" who took it out. Vancouver frauds aro rife just now, With Templeman in charge, Im e6ti(,awon is refused, For thefts that loom up large. Officials of the Grit regime, Possessed of morals lax, Have pocketed a million of The levied Chinese tax. Frank Oliver in days of yore, ; In "Independent'* feat, VA Kicked clean outside the traces till He got a Cabinet seat, A . And now a serious charge is made, Against this valient man, That votes he. puronased Vwith: "Long Green." Reoeived from "Bill and Dan." The issue then, is not "Free Trade" This may deceive the fool, Do we waut honest rule? Do we uphold the scheming thief, ; Whose impulse is to rob, Or shall we put an honest man Into the premier's job? ������������������CANUCK."
