The marriage-, of the Dowager Empress Victoria of Germany, Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, to a German 'count, gives rise to a great deal of unfavorable newspaper comment, and eyen the revival of an old Berlin court scandal, which probably had its origin in court intrigues and jealousies. Even the crowned heads do not escape the scandal-monger. Si U Niagara Falls, April 23.-Chief Young , and Detective Main, assisted by Buffalo detectives, have probably unearthed a gang of dynamiters operating from the Dolphin House, Suspension Bridge, New York, the Rosalie hotel here aud Buffalo, N. Y., by rounding un John Walsh, aged 27 years'; John .Nolan, 35 years of age, and Ka:l Dullman, all of whom nre charged with having attempted to blow up Lock 24 of the Welland Canal ou Saturday night. The general impression is that this gang has been operating as hirelings of United States capitalists to cripple the Welland Canal aud divert the traffic of the upper lakes from Montreal to Buffalo. The accused will appear before Police Magistrate Logan today.

The ore, will be delivered from the'- Minnesota Silver Co's tram (Ivanhoe mine) and later from the .Sunshine tram into a bin in top story of the south end of the building whichwill hold about 220 tons. From that it will p-iss into a Blake crusher, 14x20, through an automatic feeder, where it will be subjected to the firs'- operation in pulverization and separation. The work of pulverizing is done for the most part by eccentric wheels. . From this crusher-'the--ore passes along on a Robins conveyor, a belt of great width and durability, where the separated ore is taken off for shipment. The remainder p.-.sses into a second ore bin and thence to 8 Hartz jigs and 8 Wiifley concentrators, whose operations we will fully describe after the structure is completed and iii operation, with the shipping facilities. x'Vt pn-sent it is estimated that there, is ore'sufficient:in sight at the Ivaiihoe oil-dumps ...nd in, the stopes to keep the concentrator running three.years.

The unwritten law which .says, that "Kings cannot err," has; a rider to the effect that: "Royal wo. men who forget the marriage vow shall bo adjudged insane,'.' and it goes without saying that,; two crowned black sheep such as the 'King of Belgium and Philip of Coburg won't forego a 'shadow of the arbitrary power placed Into thoir bands.

Courtly gossip bias it that , Louise will never again draw a free- breath��������� not during tbe life of Prince; Philip and King Leopold, at least. Her bus-- band is 56, bar father 63 years of age ; shie herself ia past 42, and Princes are notoriously long-lived. Doctors being sure of ample reward, succeed mar- vel&usly well in; prolonging their life by keeping, diseases at a distance and by retrenc-luing tl>air'vilaiily,by means that o.nly tbo mighty can afford. If it hadn't been for ber sister Stephany, tbe Austrian Crown Princess's deter- rnination to marry ber Hungarian Count, Emperor irra.nc.is.Joseph might havo interceded, but to-day it's an open .secret in court cirlces that b;( has washed his hands of the whole business, ' ;'.'���������':':��������������������������� - He is reported to have said that he bm? had enough of his Belgian Coburg i-elalives, and so angry is His Majesty with them that he snubbed the Princess Elb.albeth, Stephany's only daughter, unmercifully when she made her debut at a reoont court ball at the H-o'fbur'g.'

',".-: Louise's friends were likewise disappointed wben they appealed to the King of Saxony, who, as Philip's liege lord, could, if he. chose, comui'and him to r-elea.se bi.a wife and seek rodress in divorce. No one min.y gainsay that King Albert isn't just, even huniiano, but this fact remains���������in matters of whipped his wife until the blood' ran from her face and shoulders. ."Subsequently I showed my scarred and bruised face to the King," the let- tor continued, "and mother and T,implored/His Majesty on bended knees to permit to sue for a'divorce, but reasons of state .again put in their. hon possumus '������������������ and I was dismissed with much good advice.!' . ' - .. So it went on, kicks njid cuffs from the Prince, cold refusals to protect his daughter from Leopold, until finally Louise threatened to go before, the Belgian Chambers unless a family council was called to ait ou her case. The family council assembled at Laek- en under the Presidency'of tho King, all Coburg Prince.. and Princesses attending; But they were evidently dominated, by Leopold, and after long deliberations decided against a divorce. Louise was told to return to her wife- beater husband without delay. ��������� From thut fatal day the life of Princess Philip of Coburg changed. Tbe sad and pious woman fof yore became the ga.yest of the igay, appearing on till publio occasions in the most risque toilets and seeking the company of her husband's, roue friends, whom she had once abhorred. All VL-. enna noticed the change and commented on it. Only - the husband seemed not to see it. He wanted no grounds for divorce, for in that case he would have to give up the Princess's dowry, besides a considerable annuity, and, though Philip is' immensely wealthy, he takes good care that no one but himself enjoys his money. Here is Louise's own version of . the scandal that led to her disgrace. " Determined to force my husband to dissolve our union," . she writes to .her royal friend, " I encouraged Count Keglevich in his attention tome, and one fine day went: to bis apartments in l!he. palace, at. the name time sending for the Prince. Hevmaltreated me ordor...that King Leopold, her.brother and administrator may continue in the enjoyment of her fortune. "Yet even in these matters there ;iB a certain progress .noticeable," continued thei courtierj with fine sarcasm. "I need only, remind you, of the, P/uch- esse of Ahlden, who wits Sophie Charlotte of Hanover, wife of George I., of England, mother of Georgo II., and grandmother of Frederick the Sreat.:-.',', . (1 .-' '.-! ��������� ; ,-: ,, ."'.'��������� "To revenge herself upon a profligate .;.- husband,'-. she took a lover, as Louise did afterward. That lover. Count, Konigsmarok, they murdered in cold blood, and then 'abolished her alive' by 30 years' incarceration in the moory solitude of , Luneburg Heath, where she .was made to, suffer alll the tortures of hell. ' :��������� ,-;��������� "Again, there was Caroline of Brunswick, wife of George IV. If it/ hadn't been for Parliament and the great Brougham, who defended her., she would have undoubtedly shared the Duchesse of Ahlden's fate. As it;'.was,, she lived and/ died, an outcast; though nominally Queen of. England.1 Her daughter, by tho way, became the wife of Leopold I., , of Belgium and the grandmother of the present'Louise.

The parrot's determination to spenll his set phrases uuder all sorts of circumstances often produces strange ait- nations. The story is told of a sleight of hand performer who kept a parrot that ho had trained to eay, whenever one of his master's tricks had been finished: "That's a good trick I What's the next one?" One day the juggler, being in a seaport town, gave his performance in a loft on one of the,wharfs,' which happened to be just over the place whero a largo quantity of powder was stored in kega. The juggler was about to perforin some feat which required the lighting of a candle. Ho lighted it and, threw the match' away without making suro that the blaze had gono out. The match, still burning, fell through a crack in the floor, and dropped into one of tha kegs of powder, which exploded with great force, throwing the building into the air. , The parrot, who was blown up with the rest, did not atop until, it reached the pinnacle of the topmast of a great ehip which lay off the wharf.

A gTeat chunge had to all appearance taken place since tho night before. Instead ol being illnminuted in tlie usual way, the place wua supplied with green lights. It took the travelers a little time to realize that they were suffering from Daltonism, or color blindness, superinduced by,eye fatigue. The intense light caused by the snn shining upon tha enow had for"the time rendered them unable to judge of colors and given rise to their curious .mistake. Three hours elapsed bofore tho eyea regained their normal condition. Chevreul explaina that the eye cannot gaze long upon a given color without tending to become insensible to it. When the eye looks long upon a color, it should be rested by the complemon- , tary color. Thus an eye that has grown tired, with greon should bo rested by |?red, which is green's complementary color Frewh I.n*<l.

Slocum, the faniouo scientist, whose lectures and deraonstrotionts in New York and London this winter have astounded juedjcaj ciijii'ee, has at last perfected bi3 new system of treatment for the absolute" cure of tuberculosis and all pulmonary diseases. This triumphant victory over the deadly bacilli is far reaching in its effects, for their is no longer room for doubt that tile gifted specialist has given to the world a boon that will save millions of precious lives. Dr. Slocum's System of Treatment is both scientific mid progressive going as it does to the very source of the disease and peiformihgthe cure step by step. First Step.���������Killing the life-destroying germs which investi the lungs. Second Step.���������Toning the entire 6j-stem and strengthening the uerves���������filling the veins with tingling new life. Third Step.���������Building healthy flesh and fortifying against future attacks. The Slocum Treatment is revolutionary because it provides a. new application for every stage of the disease. The failures of inoculation by Paris scientists are overcome.by Slocum through progressive drug force., The diseases leading to consumption are also mastered so that once the bacilli are removedfrom the lungs there remains no other germ-breeding menace....

You can deal with *ny .stylo of writer but tho prig , ml thc (.titu'rriiHpp, aiul these, for obvious reasons, arc out of reach, It'is said by ono of these gentlemen ."that Mr.' Cliilo appealed 'against the name of.Win, Parha.ii, this ,��������� city, .oii.th'e voters' list, and'for busi-' iicss. reasons. .] A.11 'inspection would convince rsaid writer, tbat he cannot '.. believe a word he says himself, as the name of "Wiii.-l'arhanv" was never appealed against for the beat of all reasons, that it was never.'on the list. There is a name '.Pachsih Win. Ju'a." on '.' the.list, and as a dozen, or more of the oldest citizens of the'place assured : Mr, Cliffe that(there was no such man iii the district, tlie name wus appealed against. There is no intention of withdrawing the appeal against Tachan, .but if the collector has himself made a- mistake, it is his duty to rectify it. It does not, however, furnish a 'reason for leaving; anamolies on the list. .Next, the accusation is made that ' the appeals are nearly all.against miners. In this'the accuser is as truthful as usual, but no more so.. A glance over the old list appealed against will ���������'showT'. about 2G0 miners and some 330 of 'other callings, so that if the appeals were allowed as made,the miners would gain Borne 70 votes by the transaction. ... Next, an efl'ort .is made to show that Mr. Cliffe used some legerdemain with Mr. W. B. Cayzer to induce him to sign appeals in the wrong, tilled out by Mr. Cliffe. The -fact of the matter is, and it can be proven even to the satisfaction of prigs like Mr. McAdam, that Mr. Cliffe had no knowledge that there , was such a man in existence as Mr. Cayzer until'the latter had completed most of his objections. In every case ��������� Mr. Cliffe conferred with some of the oldest and best posted men in the var- ioustowns'for his information as to the lists. In Kaslo he met half a dozen of the best posted and - most reputable business men of the city,.and the list o.f. objections, for that district, w'iib made up from their recommendations. Mr. Cliffe filled a few of them on their recommendations and left completions and other appeals to be dealt with at their discretion. If they got Mr. Cayzer or Mr. Any-other-man to complete the work,it is their business only. We may say -here that mine owners and mine managers, as is imputed, had no more to do with it than the man in the iiiooii. - It is the duty of every good citiztn, no matter what his calling, to desire" a proper voters' list. Of course ���������in a country like this,where men travel around a great deal, it is au absolute impossibility for any one man or any set, of men to know exactly where* all - the voters are, who cannot be located, and the desire in the present appeals is only to make the list as pure as possible, limiting it to thoso who are at nil likely to be present to vote. . In so far as the old list is concerned, the only ��������� one Mr. Cliffe has bail anything to do ���������with, it is not necessary for any man, . whose nan.ehiis been wrongly objected , to.to attend CourF'oi' Jlevision at Kaslo, or even to send in an affidavit, as Mr. ICurtz, the clerk, has written instructions from Mr. Cliffe to accept a letter from any voter objected to setting forth his right to be on the list, or a bitter or , statement from any reputable man to the same effect, as sufficient to set aside thc appeal. It is known to scores of the most prominent men in the country there are hundreds of r. peats, names of dead men, aliens and people left the country, and tbe idea is simply to lind out- who are und who are not, of thc whole Hst.eligiblo voters. In every other province of Confederation, it is considered the duty us'well us the privilege of every, public man to do what he can to perfect the voters' lists before elections. In this country it appears to be the duty of political wise-acres and basswood politicians to do what they can .to keep them in the greatest confusion and to brand those who do what they can to secure perfection as rascals and enemies of the country's welfare. We venture the statement now, and we are j confident it is capable of absolute' proof, that scores of men who have removed fiom the. Slocan, and whose names are now on the Slocan list, and will remain there if the prigs and guttersnipe scribblers have their way of it, have applied and gone on the lists of other Ridings, thus committing offences against the law of the land.

Our neighbor appears to be much excited because : the Conservatives are, not taking; up Mr. Green as.a candidate, while he is a Conservative. 'We may answer that the main reason is because Mr. Green is not taking up the Conservatives. Mr. Green has been two years a member, and we fail to remember a single occasion on which he called the Conservatives together and gave them an account of his doings in the House, although wc do know that on every occasion possible he has called the miners' union men together and confabbed with them. In other words by neglect, oversight or dtlier- wise he has always ignored the Conservative party and its platform, a platform that, by the way, he was a party iu building, and, from appearances, has taken up the miners' union platform, which never elected him in the first place. He' no doubt got in his former election a fair sprinkling of the mining vote; but it was, generally speaking, the business vote of the constituency that elected him, and.we fail to sec that he has even once since considered it in the House or out of it. He certainly cannot say that his votes in the House have been of service to the business community���������the element to which he owes his former election. These are among the reasons why he is not now taken up by thc Conservatives. 'Apart from this.wc understand that he is not going to wait for the Conservative convention but has announced himself a candidate iu advance of all conventions, and is now about to.issue an address- independent of all other party platforms. We think these are good reasons why he cannot be taken up by thc Conservatives. We venture the opinion too that the gulchite, lhat professes to be a Conservative paper, and that lias been'lecturing Thc Review for alleged misrepresentations of the utterances of Charles Wilson, the leader of the Conservative party, will throw itself outside the pale of that party by svipporting Mr. Green. Wait I and see if it does n������t do sO. THE MINING REVIEW���������SATURDAY, APRIL As all papers ol the Tribune, Pay- streak und irilvertonian stump will have it lhat'the eight-hour law is the principal issue in tbe coming elections mul are doing their best, to enlist the sympathy of .ill industrial cla.-ses with tbe miners' unions 011 that hcorc, there will be but one course open to the new legislature to set this thing fat rest. That course will he to p.is-i an eight- 1 hour law for all chines���������carpenters, nuihtiiis, laborers, clerks, printers, bir- bciH, tailor-, etc., with the penalties attached,and settle the-qiiostioii.���������_Pino_ every. tailor, barber, printer, clerk, laborer, carpenter, farmer, hotel keeper, ���������etc., etc. that is knowii to work more than eight hours a day,: an(l that will- fetch , people to their senses. -'A:general eight-hour cl.iv- and,not a class:one would use all alike.. If tailors, barbers, printers, clerks, shoemakers, bar-tenders, etc. wore,fined'for .working before S a.m.. or after 5.p.m. .in 0the day, they would soon coiile to learn tlie benefits of eight-hour legislation, tt would reduce the wages of all laborers from25 to 50 cents a dixy ; till carpenters and other tradesmen getting ������4.00 a day at least 50 cents; -'all farm hands, clerks, etc. proportionately, and, as a consequence, usher in the industrial millenium. iTlie're is" no earthly reason that, one class of the community should have special legislation to the exclusion of all others. Such an act would serve a double useful purpose���������-it would serve all alike and open the eyes of the on-' tire public besides. We venture the opinion that-if consent'to repeal the' penal clauses of the present act is not obtained thc other will be passed,which will give the general public a share of nresent special blessings. May be Houston et al will then get enough of it. ' "���������'"'''.-��������� mm If the man, does not stop the cough, .ihe cough stops the ''mail; stops his appetite, his sleep, his pleasure and his work.

After three dayB' coughing he was too weak to cross the room. The doctor did hiin no good. I stated the case to a druggist', who handed, me a bottle "of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. My husband's recovery was remarkable. In three days afler he began using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery he was up and around, and in two more days he weut to work. - Two bottles cured him."

Finally my le_ became a solid running sore. . In fact for nearly a month I could not put my foot to the floor- "I was advised to uso B.B.B. and did so.

No attempt has been made by the mine owners, or any one else, so far as we know, to disfranchise even a. single voter "by wholesale." The idea is to get off the lists all names of per-1 sons who cannot be expected to be present to vote in the coming elections and reduce the chances of personations and such frauds to a minimum. There was, according to the best information at the time, ground for filing every appeal made againstthe old list. Where- ever anything like reasonable evidence turns up that appeals were filed in the wrong, thev aro promptly withdrawn.

Now, i������ he should have a son,, nit liOx-es 01 Vivien's succession were of course ended. He, could give her an ample fortune, but ho knew her well. No fortune or money-could compensate her for the loss of Lancewood. He knew fhiat she would _ra- t'her be mistress .'at -Lancewood than Queen of England. IL would be a-terrible blow to her.

He could remember her enthusiasm over the grand old trees. How she had loved them I How she. had gloried in the tact that,, although they might.die of old age,, they could never bo cut down!; He remembered, as he stood there watching the fair domain that was not to be hers, how she had planned a picturesque bridge to span the river, and a boat house lower down. Now sho would never plan again. Tears dimmed his eyes, partly in gratitude for the son born to him, and partly in sorrow for .'the daughter who had lost all through his birth. Then he reproached , himself. It was too late, he said, for, thoughts of that kind ��������� too la.te for regret; ho was married, and a son was born; there was nothing to bo done but make the best of it.

The blinds wero drawn; the servants, dressed in,deepest mourning, moved about noiselessly; there was tho muffled step of the mourners; there wore the depressing ���������almost terrible ��������� paraphernalia that serve merely to tidd to the 'bitterness, of death. - ���������:. ���������;���������," - There were; two who mourned the dead man; one was Vivien, the other. Lady Nesiie did all that decorum could expect; she shujt herself into her own room, where she- was supposed to be undergoing par- oxyms of grief,'but where, in, reality, sho amused herself by reading a French novel. She professed herself too much overcome eveh ,to see any one. But she was able to study the effect of her mourning. "It became her"���������and she clasped her hands in devout thankfulness. ' "I was so afraid, Marie," sho said to her maid, "that I should'look; horrible in black." Master Oswald, in his nursery, passed tho morning in a violent- struggle with his two nurses, stoutly refusing to put on the black dress provided for him���������"it was ugly, and he hated it"���������which mutiny, on being reported to "miladi," caused her to smile nnd say��������� ''���������..'-.��������� ' ' ' "The dear child has so much sense; black is very unpleasant.

So the late master of Lancewood passed from the home where his feet should never tread more while the daughter who had loved him as sho had loved nd one else lay weeping in hor darkened chamber���������weeping as though her grief could never grow less. Sho thought of what Lord Sit. Just had said about time, Would time ever bring healing to her? Would her terrible heartache ever cease? Would her awful sense of desolation ever depart? Lady Nesiie longed for the nour when the blinds should be drawn up. She had never left her' room���������no croa- ture living had a greater dread of death and everything belonging to it than his gay-hearted lady. Sho paid no visits to tho darkened room where lay the man who had loved hor; she never saw him after he was dead; and the time seemed long to her while the house was all in gloom. She sat iu her own room with her maid while Sir Arthur was buried and she was restless with excitement. A widow's cap lay'on-the. toilet table���������not the somber head-dress that sorrowing wives usually wear, but a pretty coquettish cap. "Miladi" took it iu her bands. ��������� "1 shall not mind this so much," she said. "You have really made it very I cleverly, Marie; it will not hide my I hair."

AND HOW THEY WERE WELL SETTLED BY A TENDERFOOT. the stomach when out'of order needs rest, just as wo when sick or overworked, need rest. A child of our acquaintance, who had occasional and slight-disorders of the stomach, became, one winter, (utterly.listless and lifeless. ... She complained' of painin the back and limbs, her eyes were not as strong as they had been, then, the began having intense pains in her head. ..The family physioian. was commlted again and different medicines- were given, all without effect. The parents became worried and then alarmed. At last a friend said to the mother that sho believed tho.trouble all arose from tho child's stomach, and advised tt strict diet: It, was tried as a last resort, aiid tho child soon began to improve. She kept on improving, and at the end of six weeks was well. She has had less trouble with hor stomach since that timo than ever before, and has been strong and hearty. Her diet for the first two on three, weeks was nothing but broths and fresh milk. There are some stomachs that milk does not agree with, but not many. During that time she.took no solid food of'any kind. After the third week crackers and bread, not fresh bread, were cru'nibed into' the broth,''and-milk, and from that time on a greater variety of foods was gradually, very gradually, pk-i-initted. These were all of a nature to be easily digested, and not until the end of the: six weeks was the ordinary diet 'fully'"'returned to.^ Of course it was hard for the..child, for she did hot like brolhs.'and for tho mother too. It takes time to. make broths, and when they are. tho solo diet, there- must be variety. So sho .Jacket of biscuit cloth, double- breasted, trimmed with bios folds.

"Tenderfeet have a way of coming to lifo once in awhilo, and tho wolf eaters have found this out. I remember tho case of a tondorfoofc who arrived ut, himself in Phonlx back In 1887. Ho was a towhoad, with whito eyebrows, a poachy skin and a slight lisp, but ho mado good. Ho' had struck Arizona straight from n mining school somowhoro back east. Ho hadn't made tho 'mining engineer' proposition stick, and within a month after he landod in Arizona he found him sol f broko ln Phonlx. So ho got u $5 a day job pounding the piano in the back room of Joo Hardesty's Palais saloon. He was a pretty fair piano sharp and earned his wages. His name was Algernon .Montclair, and ho looked the namo, with his glrly skin, big bluo eyes and mild, inquiring expression. Tho boys got to guying hfm a good doal, calling him 'mamma's nngol child' and that sort of thing, and they tried pretty hard to get a rise out of tho koy punoher, but ho stood forthowholo thing and never stopped playing when thoy were guying him tho hardest. Joe Hurdosty called the gang down once in awhile for ridiculing tho piano player, but when Joe wasn't around thoy poured it into tho tenderfoot pretty hard. His two chiof tormentors wore Buck Freeman, a genuinely bad man, and Chop Suey Pollock, a bad proposition from San Francisco. Both wero killers with records. They had both beon warned to coase their picking on tho tenderfoot piano player by Joo Hurdosty, who was pretty quiok with a gun himself, but ono Sunday tho pair, who wore thick friends for somo reason or other, woufc down to tho Palais. Thoy know that Hardosty was out of town, and thoy wanted to hnvo some fun with tho piano whacker. Tho tondorfoot was thrumming away, whon Froemun and Pollock lurched into tho back room of tho saloon. '"Hey, sisI'said Freeman to tho tondorfoot as soon as he got into- the room. 'You thump that thing purty well, don't youf But there's ono thing I never seen you do, un that's play tho piano an.,waits, at one an the samo timo. Never toached you to.do that, did thoy? lrou ovor seen him do it, Chop?' ho asked his pal, turning to Pollock.

His gyrations tickled the two dovils bohlnd him to tho limit. Thoy roared oiit -directions, and when tlio tenderfoot's movements soenied to slacken from weariness they put anofch- erpair of bullets through tho floor close to his feot, and ho went on with renewed energy: Thore were a num ber of men in tho front part, of the saloon who didn't liko tho thing a ..little bit, but they kept out of it from motives of prudence. The .tondorfoot ployod tho waltz through and danced to it twice before his tbrmontors grew weary, of tho fun and lot up on him by walking up to the'piano and bringing thoir paws down on. tho keys togother They hud put away thoir guns. "'That'll do you, sis,' said Freeman 'I knowed you could dunth; un you've proved it. You dunth liko you wero born to it. Your mother must have been it ballay dnnthor, or elso'��������� "Freemun was walking toward tho front room with Pollock as ho said tills. "*'I thuy, you,'called Tondorfoot Algernon Montclair after him in a quiet tono of voice, and Frooman turned around to seo whnt tho koy ptitichor wanted. As ho did so ho saw tho tenderfoot standing with hia back to tho piano and a gun in each hand. There wero two almost, simultaneous reports, and both of Buck Freeman'sunits were broken close to the ..shoulders. Chop Suey was quick on the trigger, and ho liad his two guns otit before tho tender- foot's pair belched forth a couple more fluHhoa, then Pollock's twin gnus fell to thu Hour like so much junk. Both of his arms wore broken too. " "Xou dirty dogtlt,' said tho tondorfoot to tho two helpless bullies us thoy stood and looked at him savagely with their, shattorod urius ut thoir sides, and then ho walked over.to thom nnd spat in their faces ono after tho ol-hbr. freeman gave a suddou reach out with his right, boot its lf to trip tho tondorfoot, his idea probably hoi ng to get the piano player down and stamp tho life out of him, but, tho tenderfoot, whosu mild blue eyes wero. now blazing, was too .quick, lie hopped back out of reach liko a boxer, aiid with his right hand gun ho bored a hole fair and plump through Buck Ifroemaii's forehead. Pollock bogged for his lifo liko a cur, and the tenderfoot, after looking hini over doubt fully tor a full minute, gave It to hint Tho piano player surrendered bImself to! tho night marshal and was looked up overnight in the calaboose. A coronor's- jury Was got together at 10 o'clock tho next inorniug, and inside of c-.-aut.ly eight minutes tho verdict was reachod that'Buck Freeman had met u justifiable death nt, tho hands of u tenderfoot, who is hereby acquitted.'

But ln the most affectionate terms he "dedicated" the book to his wealthy brother, who regards his near and. dissolute kinsman's "poetry" aa really the most reprehensible thing that the Incorrigible fellow does. But the rhymester and his "black art" accomplice knew their business.

The Countess de Bremont contributes an article on phyaicul culture among the Boers. The Boer, she says, is a sturdy son of the boil.

Aa a set-off fo this, ho inhabits closo, stuffy dwellings, where windows aro at u premium, and thc door opening on thc family stoop is the principal source of veuciiution. At night ho sleeps with every opening securely closed. Then, again, ho is an inveterate smoker, an inordinate eater, and deeply, hopelessly lazy.

There is a very simple rule for finding the average number of years which persons of any age may expect to live. If the-present, age be deducted from 80, two-thirds of the remainder is the answer required. This result Is not absolutely accurate, but It Is near enough. For instance,, a man aged 20 might by this rule,.,expect to live 40 years longer, which Is just what the latest actuarial tables give. At 40 the expectation of life works out at nearly 27 years, while the tables give It as more than 25 years. At GO the abovo rule allows just over 13 years, and the table shows a little less. ally the laziest and most lacking in muscular energy of all the different sorts and conditions of me.u it has beta my lot to meet.
