Browne,'of London, Eng., was in Spokane a few days ago. He represents the Smelting Corporation, limited, which operates works on the Manchester.ship canal, in England. He has been buying ores in the Kootenays, and concerning his operations he said to a reporter : "'The report is true that the smelting corporation I represent is buying ore in Kootenay camps. I have purchased 220 tons of concentrates Irom the High'ander "mill at Ainsworth, and shall ship the same to Vancouver, from thence round the Horn, to England. The, value of these concentrates will average 68 per cent, lead and 32 oz. silver. This will be, I believe, the first shipment made from the Koet- enay of silver-leid concentrates to an English smelter. We can save for-'the mine owner about $3 per ton, over American smelter charges, and we pay spot cash for our ore, which is also,a consideration. You see, wehave.no large duty to pay, and besides, by our own process for extracting the silver from the zinc, we make another .saving, whereas American smelters are forced to charge higher for ores containing a percentage of zinc; in other words, the galena ores going to the States have to pay a high penalty on the zinc." ; ���������,< <> The Silver Outlook.

Nelson and Sandon hockyists met at the latter place to do battle with the puck: Local and Nelson money was freely pitted on the match, and after one goal had been scored by Nelson one of their supporters sought McVichy, , who had previously been offering to back the home team, and wanted to place $10 on the result. McVichy refused to consider so small' a bet, offering to take $50.

The glare from the spouting lava, reflected back against the sky gives an almost continuous light "to the upper, end of the Atlin district. <Frf.rn Dr. W. B. Kingslowc and T. H. James, mining men of Denver, comes the best and apparently most authentic description of the Alaskan Vesuvius. "The mountain in eruption," said ur. Kingslowe, "is the second in the range of four towering peaks lying about fifty miles due south of lake Gladies and a slightly shorter .distance from Atlin city. These mountains are all of at least 14,000 feet altitude, the crater resting a trifle below its three brother peaks. "It was in the early part of October that the smoke was first seen issuing from the mountain. With the thought of volcano furthest from their minds the miners attributed those first signs of eruption to clouds hanging about the peak.' -So constant, however, was the cloud that it became an object of daily observance from Atlin ' city." Then on November 8th, the mountain ���������burst forth in flames. Through the smoky clouds there shot a stream of molten lava, boulders and' ashes that brightened the sky a radius of nearly forty, miles, and sent its reflected light through the darkness down upon the men working on Birch, Diocorery, Mc- Kee, Pine and other creeks, the sides of whose banks turn toward the volcano. "A panic ensued among the miners when the ashes ' began falling upon them. The aahes fell to a depth of several incheB, and the stream down the mountain side' increased in magnitude. "The fall of ashes later ceased and the men returned to work. "When we' left - the miners were working nights, gladly profiting by the mellow twillight caused by the volcano's glare, which turned night into day. "No name has yet been given the mountain, but when we left the Canadian officials at Atlin were preparing for an expedition to the volcano and will' undoubtedly christen it."

M Speaking of the Slocan district in FV .���������'" An effort is to be made by the persons interested in lake transportation to have the Anglo-American Commission take up the project of a canal joining the Great Lakes and the Atlantic. This subject has been favorably reported upon by a deep waterway commission authorised by Congress and appointed by tho President, While this established tho practicability of the canal, the present movement contemplates the devising by the commission of a plan of joint action by which the work will be actually commenced. It is suggested that tbe proper route will.be by way of the St. Lawrence River and Lake Champlaih, a cut of twenty-nine miles being sufficient, it is said, for that stretch of canal. Ahother cut of twenty-four miles would carry the canal to the Hudson Rfver. The projectors claim that the cut between the St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain. can be made for three or four millions, the topography being particularly favorable to canal digging. They are proceeding on the idea of having the two governments do the work, each doing the construction of its own side, thus making it a govern���������lent rather than a private enterprise.

Such an opportunity to gam an important end as comes to an association or organization.only once in a lifetime is now'confronting the working people of the Uuited States. If Congress can be prevailed upon to insist upon the eight-hour law on all public works, and insist further that all' material and supplies purchased by the government shall be such only _ as have been produced by men working eight hours, we will have taken a long step towards the universal adoption by all employers of the shorter work day. We think it quite feasible to get all labor organizations together for this one purpose, and we think it ought to be done. We have in existedce to-day the American Federation of Labor, the Western Labor Union, the Western Federation of Miners, tho five great railroad brotherhoods, the Knights of Labor, the Socialist Labor party, and the .Social Democracy, all of which decide for the eight-hour day. Why not federate all of these for the one purpose of inducing congress to pass the eight-hour law in question? See what a formidable force that w������uld be. It would be absolutely irresistible. Let Samuel Gompers, Daniel McDonald, Ed word Boyce, P. M. Arthur, F. P. Sargeant, P. H. Morrissey, E. E. Clark, P. V. Powell, John Parsons, Daniel DeLeon and Uugene V. Debs hold a joint meeting m Washington, and in their several representative capacities form a quick acting combine that will sweep all opposition away.

The farmer and dairyman who ex-1 pects to continue in tho business will find it to his interest to raise a num.-? ber of calves each year to replace older, cattle thai have been disposed of. There is a vast difference in calves. Some aye not worth keeping until maturity. jMi such should bo fatted for veal nnd deposed of, at five or six weeks old. With a little care, practice and tho exercise'of good judgment, one c;in form a pretty good idea of what a calf will be at maturity when only a few days old. If inl ended for tho dairy the calf should bo closely examined as to the conformation of (he udder and teats. One can see in miniature these import-* ant organs, and have a fnirJy definite Idea of what ihey will bo like at maturity. Unless the udder is well shaped and has tho appearance of being of good size wilh four good sized teats properly and widely placed, tho calf had bettor bo rejected and fed for tho butcher. By turning tho calf on its back the udder and taats can easily bo examined. I have been offered woll- bred Jersey calves that I would scarcely have taken as a gift at a yearibld for tho dairy, because their teats woro so closely placed that it would' havo been almost impossible to milk them. It was a mistake to raise such a calf; . It ought to have been converted into veal. If tho calf is intended for veal, It can take its milk from tho cow .in a natural way, or tho cow can be milk-, ed and the milk given (ho calf to drink; but this 'is not usually considered as good as letting the calf take it direct from tho cow, for the reason that it will drink too fast, and not being properly mixed with saliva as it is swallowed, tho calf is more liable to havo indigestion and stomach and , bowel trouble. This objection might be obviated by using a patent calf feeder, from which the calf is obliged to take Us milk more slowly. The calf should not remain with the cow longer than the first day of its life. Some stockmen profor to take it fiom her as soon as dropped. In this way sho will not beoomo so much attached to it and will not worry-over its absence. The cow should bo milked and the calf fed soon softer Its appoai'ance. It must at first l^Jtve its own mother's milk. The milk 01 another cow that has beon fresh fop some time will not answer. The fresh milk from a fresh cow is much richer in albumen than from the same cow later, and is nature's special prepara- tion for the new-born calf. The younger the calf is taught to drink, tho easier it will be. As soon as it geta hungry, which is usually very soon, it his a tendency to suck anything it can get hold of. With an assistant to hnld tho pail, and the use of the finger, only a few lessons are required to teach it to drink tho milk readily from a pail. Patience and perseverance are all that are necessary except the milk and the calf. The first week or ten days, the calf should havo full milk; the amount will depend somewhat upon tho size ond breed of the calf. While four pounds at a feed would be enough for a delicate little Jersey six or eight might not be loo much for a larger or more robusU, Holstein or Shorthorn. After about ten days, skim milk cin gradually be subsfiiuted for tho whole milk, doing so at the rale of a pound per day, until all skim milk is fed. By making the. change gradually, no evil effects . will be noticed, When beginning the use of skim milk instead of whole milk is a good time to begin tho uso' of a little meal of some kind in tho milk. Middlings, oil meal and a mixLure of oats, wheat and corn, enual parts ground together, are all good. These will be better if scalded before being added lo the milk. By beginning wilh a small quantity, sny a tablespoonful, and increasing gradually no difficulty need be feared from scours. When one wishes fo raise calves on skim milk for veal, something must be added to the milk lo replace the bulter fat extracted. When intended for the hulclier nt an early age, larger quantities of eomtuoal can bo fed thin otherwise, the. olijeot in growi' ing c.ilves for Iho dairy being to encourage th.! giowth of bone and muscle minor than fat. Twice per day is as ofl en as I lie calf need be fed, at any age. To feed often"!' is an unnecessary w.iste of iirne and labor, bul it should bo fed at regular hours. This is important as well as I ho amount oC its feed. When onco established, tho quantity of its feed-should not' .be varied abruptly without good reasons, After a calf is several weeks old it will begin to cat a little hay, and a little should bo given it at each meal���������just enough so that it will be eaten before the next feeding time. It will then eat it with a relish, and eat more than it it has it always before it. Bright clover hay is by far the best for it. If milk is scarce, a good substitute for it can be made by steeping clover hay in hot water, making a strong lea, and pouring it hot over some of the meals, or what should be still better, a mixture of the meals before mentioned. Various prepared meals are sold'for the feeding of, calves, that are claimed ��������� to be a perfect substitute for milk. A farmer can by mixing about '-��������� 50 per cent oil meal, 20 per cent each of ground corn and oats, and 10 - per cent of middlings, have a meal- that wili be just; as good at much less -cost. -,���������"��������������� CIDER MA KING. One of the mo3t readily available ways of utilizing unmerchantable apples U to turn them into cider. When crops are at their best a very large portion of the fruit ought nover to go onto the market as such. It brings no price , itself and only serves to create an appearance of abundance which depresses tho pi Ice that would otherwise bo received for good fruit. Tn many apple growing states tho unmerchantable part of tho crop in good years is placed at as 'high as iO per cent. Tho manufacture of cidor in any small way is, however, unprofitable commercially/ Exact experiment has shown that wilh even the best hand grinders and presses, only two gallons of cider is obtained from an average bushel of apples, as against four gallons when a medium-sized custom grinder and press, run by an eight- horse power engine, is used. Counting unmerchantable apples to bei worth 8 cents a bushel it would cost to. mako the cidor, 0 cents per gallon by the former method, while by tho latter the cost was but two and three-tenths cents por gallon. At this latter price cider can be very profitably used to will, when made into jelly by boiling, manufacture vinegar, to make and en- rirli jellies and to make beverages. The manufacture of really good cider for consumption as such is as much of an arc as wine making, and indeed many of thn, alleged "wines" imported and sold in this country as the fruit of the vine are really the product of the apple orchard. It is not, however, to the production of cidor to be consumed as such, that we would especially direct the attention of tho owner of tho unmerchantable apples. Tho better use tor the cider that can bo made by ono who is not an expert is tho manufacture of vinegar, je'lies, marmalades, etc. To mike pure cider vinegar no matured apples are too poor. Tho process of fermentation, if left to itself is slow, but by mixing iconsiderablo quanlitios of fermented cider and old vinegar, fermentation can bo greatly hastened. Jn making jelly suitable for table use tho addition of a pound of sugar to each five pounds of cider, produces a very cheap, good and palatable jelly at a very low cost." Eleven gallons of cider, as it comes from the press, yield about forty pound?, probably quite as much as any family would care, to put up. Cider is alno a good medium in which lo boil apples for tho rrnnuCaoture of marmalade, but for this purposo a somewhat belter quality of apples is required. Willi apples at 20r cents a bushel marmalade can be manufactured in the way suggested for less"thin 3 cents a pound for the cost of the material.^ .The figures of the manufacturers plmw that from eichty pounds of Rliced fruit, to which eltrh' gallons of cider and thirty-fivo pounds oT sugar have been added, llfi pounds of marmalade can be made. In making marmalade il -is a great saving to boil lhe apples and then pass them through the colander, instead of "par- ine and coring (h"m. The loss by this method is only one-fifth as much as by paring and coring with a knife, and the work is much more rapidly done. MILKING. Milking should be" done wilh clean dry hands, and as the cow is making the most of Ihe. milk while it is being drawn from the udder, it is very important that she should be kept as quiet and contented as possible. The milking should bo done as rapidly as can bo without hurting the cow. The first part of the milk contains less than 1 per cent of fat, while the last .portion has as high as 10 per cent of fat, hence the importance of thorough work m milking. Change of milkers is detrimental, as well as are all other abrupt changes in feeding or handling the good dairy cow. The materials to form the milk are found in the udder untransformod to milk before milking. But by a sort of harmony existing between the milker and tho cow, and by the stimulus excited upon the glands by (he milker, the milk is.largely caused to form. ��������� AT MME. PATH'S CASTLE. ��������� Visiting Itmc. Tatti's'superb castle in Wales, a guest not long since had a very curious experience. 'Ho chanced to open hi:, window in the middle of the night, and, to, his surprise, bells began to ring in every quarter of the, grounds. Very much scared, Ibut' realizing that he had. fitter all, only set a burglar akirm going, the guest descended to reassure tbe household, I when ho instantly found himself in. danger from a dozen roving dogs, who ; had obtained their freedom and were | growling and snapping in the ugliest j manner. At breakfast next morning ha learned all about this"curious tad of lime. Patti. ,and .wondered at it.: The singer has a "great dread of burglars. Some time ago a gang of. these gentlemen from London' attempted to obtain admittance, but ! were defeated' in their object, and; since that date Mmo. Patti bus set up every kind of burglar alarm that ex-'i ists. The; queer part about, one of, these is, however;'well vvo.'th noticing,1 j Her largest d6g, an enormous brute, j who might bo relied . on to' cope .with"t a. little-army o������ thieves, is kept rigorously chained in a patent kennel. But the chain is. so arranged that should any one attempt to open a window or a door in the, castle tho dog is released and free to rovo at his pleasure, it being-presumed that he would at onco make for the burglars and do his duty. The idea is ingenious* ,and,: as the traveller discovered, not a little dangerous. | FOR, TALKATIVE WIVES. I In a thriving village is located ' a jewelry store of high standard, its sole proprietor being Joseph Hodges, a business man on no small scale. His wife Marian -is a faithful life partner, and does all'she oan to make hishome one of peace and comfort. ; "What's the matter, Joseph ?" ' sho ��������� asked, having removed' hor coat and ! bonnet and taken a seat by the fire. I Thoy had just returned from an . evening party.'

Were I to recite a volume of small talk I couldn't tell you j how you have wounded my fcelir/gs to- I night." I "Me���������wounded your feelings?" she uttered, looking at her-husband in , surprise. "What do you mean ?" i "Don't you remember your remark ' when I was discussing bicycles with , Mr., Daniels ?" ' j "No, I'm sure I don't; what did I say ?" "Well, when I said my wheel cost ������90 you interrupted me and said only ������85." "Was that so terrible, I'd like to know?"' his wife asked, not in the best humor, for, like many others, ' she didn't like to discuss her faults. " ."It was nothing terrible," returned Joseph,, "but very, annoying to me. When I said my wheel cost ������90, I meant It, for that was its price, and your remark was uncalled for. The moment you spoke a, smile passed around the company, and I felt as though .thoy regarded me a common boaster." "Then, again, during the evening you corrected "me when there was no occasion to. It was when I was telling Mrs. Daniels about my horso running away. I said ho ran nearly a mile before I could stop him, but you instantly assured the.company that it* wasn't over naif a mile." "Indeed, I cannot see anything so bod about it, anyway," she answered; "you are forever accusing me of my faults." "Now, Marian dear," he said, drawing his chair close to her and fondly caressing her golden head, "will you promise to never again correct me in company and wound my feelings as you havo to-night ?" Mrs. Hodges made no decided promise, but she resolved to do the best sho could, and here the matter rested for tho present. , ��������� ' Ono night two weeks later Mr. Hodges ^ave a party at his. own house. After supper the company gathered around tho fire to discuss the topics of tho-day- ,, ... "Hodges," said one of the visitors, a noted silk dealer named Edmunds, "how does Thomas get along now* "Oh, fin������ I" returned Hodges; he is coining money now." - This Thomas was Mrs. Hodges brother, and one whom sho loved dearly. "Glad of that," said Edmunds, I feared he would have trouble getting paid for those goods ho sent out west. "No, there's no fear of Jim Thomas losing money," returned Hodges.' "Why. Joseph," interrupted his wife, "don't you-remember he told us the other night"��������� here "Hodges cast a. quick glance at his wile, but she would not notice it for she,must correct her husband's mistake���������"he said he feared he wouldn't get" his pay for the goods sent to Thurston & Co., and. oh dear, I hope he, won't lose all that, tor it would "ruin him." "Oh, Marian, you don't understand this matter," said her husband. 'Jim stands all right with the western firm." ' . , , "Well, I guess I know," quickly retorted his wife, "for I heard him tell about it, and if I was Jim I'd havo no more to do with BUch people." Joseph Hodges could say no more; his face showed his feelings as he cast meaning glances toward his wife. About 10 o'clock the following evening, as Mr. and Mrs. Hodges, were thinking of retiring, the door opened and Jim Thomas entered: J "For heaven's sake, Jim! Vinats tno matter?" cried Mrs. Hodges, perceiving his deathlike countenance. '"I am ruined," he said, "yos a ruined man." , , , "Is it that western firm ?'* asked Mar- ' "No," he said sadly, "but the'peoplo here havo come down on mo." - "Do you mean all is lost, Jim, returned Joseph. "Yes, everything," ho replied heart- brokenly.' ��������� ��������� ��������� ' "Somehow Edmunds has discovered that I feared the western; 'firm, and, owing him a large sum, he has demanded r it immediately. . Just , another month and all would be safe, but it s late now; he has'placed'an officer over my goods." ' /'-."'.''��������� '���������i.c. . Marian sat pale and trembling. She plainly saw what she had done, but, alas 1 too lato to recall those few. hasty words. Looking up into her brothers face she uttered in a feeble voice: On, Jim, lam tho cause of all this, hut: don't blame me now. It is the result of my foolish habit of correcting my husband before others." ' . . Mrs. Hodges slept little that night,, and arose next morning with an acn- ing heart and head. Her husband clasped her to his bosom ond forgave her,'as also did her brother. < , This eased her somewhat, bat she saw her brother drop from his high position all through her fault. - -^ "... After a time Thurston & Co.. paid their note,'and Thomas ,was/able ; to oancel his debts. He went into part nership with Joseph Hodges, and both carried on a profitable business. But Marian never forgot her terrible lesson., Never after this did she interrupt her husband., in company with needless corrections. INDUSTRIOUS MONARCHS. "ITnonsy I.tes lhc Mi-nd Hint Wears a Crown," Isn Trim rinytnK- "As happy as a king" is an old way of expressing the idea of perfect happiness, but possibly happiness is not so truly a characteristic of royalty as hard work is, and "as busy as a king" may yot be considered a more fitting comparison. Tho working day of tho kings and queens, of Europe, unliko that of some of their subjects, has nover yet been shortened by ' law, and it certainly is.not shortened by custom. Tho Emperor of Germany is not to be found in bed later than five o'clock in tho summer, although in the win- tor he does not begin his day's labors until six. Since tho empress herself pieparcs his morning cup of 'coffee, she, too, rises early,' and the young German princes are brought up to follow the example of their parents. The, Princess of Wales, when at Mar- borough House for the London season, is one of the hardest-worked women in England. When her children ��������� were young,.says the Woman at Home, she always .made it a rule1 to be ready for breakfast at half past eight in the morning, Eo'as to go into the sohool- room at nine o'clock to inspect the "copies" written on the previous day. Tho energy required for the carrying out of such a rule will be better appreciated when it is understood that while at Marlborough House during the London season, the princess rarely finishes her day's duties before two o'clock in the morning. After her return from ,the entertainments at which her presence is a necessity, she usually'takes, the hours from twelve to two in the morning to write private letters, because she has so little time during tho day. At Sandringham, however, when not entertaining, largo parties, she allows herself a little more rest. Tho queen herself,' although she is not now a young woman, never, goes to bed before twelvo: o'clock, and is awakened koon . after sovon in tho morning.' During the day her time is so fully taken up that she has none, to lie down and rest, as most of her subjects have after reaching her age. The late. Empress of Austria > was perhaps the earliest riser of all the royal perronages of Europe. She allowed herself only the short sloop to be snatched between eleven o'clock at night and three the next morning. After that she was up,, and the worst of it was! that she insisted on her unfortunate suite being up also. BIGGEST WEDDING EVKR KNOWN. On tho day that Alexander the Great was married no fewer than 20,- 202 persons in one ceiemony were made husbands and wives. This seems impossible, but the event really took place, as historical records tell us. This monster wedding occurred upon tho conquest, by Alexander the Great of Persia, which was' then ruled over by King Darius. Alexander , married Stall ra, tho daughter of the conquered king, and decreed that 100 of his .chief officers should be united to 100 Indies from the noblest Persian and Medoan families; In addition to this, he stipulated that 10,000 of his Greek soldiers should marry 10,000 Asiastic women. When everything was settled a vast pavilion was erected, the pillars of which were sixty feet high. One hundred gorgeous chambers adjoined this for the 300 noble bridegrooms, while for the remaining 10,000 an outer court was inclosed, outside of which tables" were spread for the multitude. Each'pair had seats, and ranged themselves in a semi-circle round the royal throne, Of course, (he priests could noL marry this vast number of couples, so Alexander the Great devised a very simple ceremony. He gave his hand to Stalira and kissed her���������an example that all (he bridegrooms followed. Thus ended the ceremony, and that vast number wave married. Then followed (he festival, which lasted five days.' the grandeur of which has nevor been oqualed .since. t PRETTIEST GIRL IN PARIS.' Mile.

How Hie PnriceH^ Hindoos and Mohnm- - iiicfliiiis Gnthcrril to Honor Gallant .Miijor Sllm-Iiln���������_ Typical Incident. TheBelgaum railway station was on September 25 the scene of a remarkable outburst of native gratitude to a plague magistrate, says the London Mail. Bolgaum is a military station in Westorn India, and has been the scene of a virulent plague epidemic. ��������� Major Minchin, of the India Staff Corps, was Belgaum's cantonment magistrate, and on him developed the duty of directing the fight against the pestilence among the .native population. Major Minchin left Belgaum for England on the date mentioned above. . A correspondent of the ''Times of India," thus describes his departure:��������� "There were triumphal arches about the station -and floral decorations ��������� the-spontaneous offerings and labours of. affectionate hearts. No official whip bad gone'forth���������no highly placed native officials had been busy supervising mere task work. THE'GREAT CROWD, outside the station, gates���������a crowd dfi , the lowest, raggedest, poorest, scarred with suffering and want���������was the strangest," the most, eloquent, and, if not scenically, morally, I he most splendid tribute to the power wielded over simple natives by an eminentally just and sympathetic man. Hardly a European was visible���������Major Minchin's English friends had already feted him at tho club and said good-byo. "But the bazaar was there. Old tottering women, little children, all the rag-tag and bob-tail of the bazaar slums lined the road, moved to the depths, for once, of their simple souls by the magic of an Englishman's sym- ' pathy." They'could not iget into the station���������thoy were not respectable enough ���������but they'stood stolidly in the pouring rain, rank upon rank, weeping and lingering to' the last glimpse of the departing train, before, they plodded wearily back to their dull hard lives,- ��������� out of which they left that one element of gladness'was lost for ever. " "On' the platform the better classes ���������follow-workers with Major Minchin in fighting the plague���������all the leading shopkeepers, bankers, Parsees, Hindoos, and Mohonimedans, crowded about him. Every 'man offered garlands, and Major Minchin, who would refuse his friends nothing, was barely visible under the load of flowers ho bore. The poor major could find no words to speak. A pretty little Parseo girl was lifted up -by her father to add a final garland as the train was starting. With perfect naturalness Major Minchin kissed the child on both cheeks, as his eyes ran over, and all about his native friends , muttered parting benedictions." j WHY THEY LOVED HIM. How the gallant major gained so complete an ascendancy over tho hearts of the people is told by. the same correspondent: "Throughout (he terrible sufferings inflicted on the humblest inhabitants by plague. Major Minchin had devoted himself to their cause with.unobtrusive self-abnegation. All, day and .every day he was with them, encouraging them under awful trials, supporting them with lhat rare blend of sternness and living sympathy which the poorest Indian understands and reverences. "His compound was often filled with tha live stock of segregated families; his energy and tender-heartedness so- cured his people at least a few com-' forts in the arid .miseries of plague - camps, so that as the days of death and suffering passed on, his sustaining personality gained in their imaginations vivid attributes of divinity. It is the simple truth that the ignorant, superstitious Kakars believed lhat tho cantonment magistrate was somo- ��������� thing more than human,.and worshipped him as tho near relation of a god." What Major Minchin has done at Belgaum other Englishmen are doing throughout the country. It is these district officers that in truth rule India. THE MODE IN GLOVES. Bold, aggressive shades are not really in demand for all their- bravo .showing in tbo shops. Thoy are. not in good taste, and only call unnecessary attention to the hand, which, beyond bo- ing well dressed, should never be conspicuous. Rich, quiet tones prevail, in ' bluets, browns, red browns, tans;green, and light -tans."��������� ������������������'-.-��������� ��������� ���������-.������������������������������������ ������������������->���������:���������.*' .;'��������� The stitching is usually, two-toned, often introducing a; thread of .black and the fillet embroidery is neatest and most', delicate. As a rule, lightweight gloves have light-stitching, and the piques and 'heavy makes -have broader embroidery.

Nearly every one knows that the rule on railway traiDS and other public conveyances which provides for the carrying free of children under 5 years old, and of charging half fares for those between the ages of 5 and 12, often results in statements from the parents which are as trying to a normal conscience as the affidavits made by many tourists regarding dutiable goods among their belongings. Sometimes these answers result in unpleasant controversies between conductors nnd passengers, but usually our national tact and good nature help along the adjustment'without undue friction. In parts of Europe they have a way of fixing this matter so that no one' has cause to quarrel about it. Instead of going by a child's age, as to what rate of fare it shall pay, they go by size. The collector is provided with a 5-foot rule, and he rates tho ohildren by this. Any child under 24 inches in height travels free, while those who measure between 24 inches and 51 inches pay half fare. All who measure more .than 4 feet 3 inches pay full fare. _^ When a man tells you he has just been married it eometiinos puzzles you to know wjhether he expects congratulations or sympathy.

The river is about 250 yards'wide, and some 20 feet deep,' with "a fairly strong current. One regiment' of Dragoons swam across with their horses in 33 minutes, another in 30 minutes, and a Cossack regiment, sotnia succeeding sotnia, got across in 29 minutes.

The Nelson Tribune is afraid the reciprocity negotiations, now going on between representatives of Cana-la and the United States, will result in tho free interchange' of ores. It is this pessimistic) view of things in this, country by a section, of its press that is retailing its progress. The Tribune's Coolings for tho country go no farther than the boundaries of the city in which it' is published. It is afraid that if our ores are admitted into the States tree of duty the circumstance would operate against the Nelson smelter; and, of course, from the Tribune's point of view, it is of more' importance that Nelson should become a smelter city, than that the rest of British Columbia should prosper. As a matter of fact most British Columbians would rather see our. ores smelted here than in the States, as it employs much labor at home; but all British Columbians would rather see our ores smelted advantageously and extensively even in the States than not at all. That's the vital point. Even if there was a free interchange of ores, this should not eeiiously hamper the Nelson smelter, if its owners had enterprise. To-day there is much demand for our bullion abroad, and the day is not far distant when there will be a large demand outside for it. In the near future then, both Canada and the States will have to look for an ouUide market for their bullion. Under such circumstances, even with free interchange of ores,- the Nelson smelter should have a decided advantage, in so far as the home product is concerned, over American smelters���������it would have the protection of the .extra cost of freight on ore to American smelters over bullion to American markets. If again it became more enterprising than its American competitors, doubtless it could offer greater inducements in.smelting to mine owners in the States than the home concerns do. The great trouble with nearly all Canadian manufacturers is that after o-etting protection, after whining long and loud for it, they abuse their privileges by socking on the highest prices iheir protection will allow and stifle outside competition. This is the case ���������with nearly every manufacturer in Canada that can be mentioned. them. As the most of government grants are got through log-rolling, to the discredit of the legislatures, it must be said, all that remains for Mr. Green to do, to get justice for his constituency, is to be popular with the majority of the House, as he certainly will be, anci get assistance, in pressing for his grants, in return for help to other constituencies. In common with many other papers in the province; The Review is of the opinion that there is too much of a bugaboo about this "contempt of court" cry altogother. A judge is just as good a man as any one else, if he behaves himself, but no better, and his acts ought to be as open lo criiicism as the acts of any one else. Very often, as in the case of the late government's libel suits, cases arc put into court to stifle criticism by the press, on the ground that it is "contempt of court" to comment on any case in the courts and untried. In this way it often becomes more of contempt of justice than a contempt of court. II IHM M m If the reported find of coal oil in Alberta, near the Crows's Nest Pass road turns out to be well founded, it will mean a great deal for this country. Crude oil is an excellent fuel for engines of every description, and it can be transported boxed at a cheap rate. Apart from this, if the supply proves satisfactory there will soon be refining plants on the, ground, and with the, cheap rates over the Crow's Nest road, the Kootenays ought to have much cheaper light than it has at present.

Like all other portions of the Slocan, that district has many most valuable properties around it, discovered and undiscovered, if there was only sufficient capital available to work them, and as a residential point it is unsurpassed in the province. Rossland to-day is a place of much activity, and nothing under the heavens makes it more so than any place in the Slocan but the advertising it is getting. Its greatest mine, the LeRoi, for instance, is not nearly so yaluable a property as some of the silver mines of the Slocan, and yet you hear of Rossland and the LeRoi everywhere, merely because the possibilities of the surroundings of tho place, real and imaginary, are advertised cTery- ' where. What tho Slocan requires is a well-written pamphlet dealing with the facts as they are known, showing the possibilities of the country underdevelopment,, and circulated in all quarters where it is known there is money for investment. Mr. Clifl'e, of The Mining Review, hap. made a commencement on such a pamphlet, and he would be glad to hear from anyone in the Slocan, who is desire.us of encouraging the circulation of .such a publication. Silver is now a good price, and frona the indications it is inclined to go still higher) which fact shculd do much to create a keen demand for silver properties.

Lord Pendlebury said 11 few polite words to Lady Peakman about tho weather, ^slyly .squinting meanwhilo iulo the purser's cabin at , its occupant, who was listening intently Lo all that look, place; and then, after exchanging a few commonplace remarks wilh Araminta, the peer lifted his hat, and coolly walking back again, re.umed his position opposite little Airs. McGowkie, who becamenure lively and pretty than ever. Shrewd Sandy McGowkie had not been an ap- - prentice at Lewis and Allonby's for inoLhing. He had watched the whole performance with a sardonic interest "(and a grim sense of humour, which produced curious results on his steady Iface. , , ; Araminta pouted and pretended lo sleep. Lady Peakman tossed her head and turned her back. Sir Benjamins they the j'\ '. jstudy of Mr. William Black's charm- ling book assumed an intensity which Itho great novelist would have been Ipained to witness, especially if be had jiioticed that not a page was turned over for lialf-an-hour. After lunch, however, the peer, with commanding icoolness, seized upon.the knight stool, iconning with the air of an amateur 'admirer the graccfuL figure and pretty 'dress of Miss Araminta, made himself 'immensely at home. The facile knight ���������lent himself agreeably to this whim, 'his lady endeavoured, with indifferent isuccess, to run a delicate line; between 'hauteur and amiability. She was too ,fond of governing to endure with equanimity a neat and successful re- 'buff. But little Araminta prattled away in the best "Windsor-school style, iand by-and-by, when Lord Pendlebuiy 'gravely asked lhe permission of Lady jPcakinan to give her daughter a pro- 'menade, it was very solacing to the 'old lady to watch tho lithe damsel leaning on the steady arm of the rich 'and brilliant young peer. , CHAPTER VIII. Ding-Dong, &c. Once more that dinner bell with its "clang and clash, and ��������� Iroarl' The bright cool weaLher had 'quickened the blood and sharpened the appetites of the saloon passengers, and iwilh veiy few exceptions they showed up at tho table. 'There was the cap- .llain, rojy and smiling, fresh from his .shaving-glass, in his blue jacket and gilt buttons, every inch a sailor and a .man. II s- was chatting with his friends the McGowkies. Sandy had been crossing to and fio for ten years, and Cap- 'tain Windlass and he always "foregathered" with mutual good-will. Air. 'Carpmael, a trifle tea-green perhaps about, the checks, and his wife were at tho table. Next to them there had sertteHl herself n tall lady, who,, though past the prime of life, still showed traces of a period when she must havo figured as handsome. Her fine cap and black lace shawl, which dropped negligently off her shoulders, vindicated her icgard for tho conventional custom of dressing for dinner. Lady Peakman coming in, as usual, late, with considerable fuss, exchanged glances with this lady,'and saw in a moment that she had to do with a 'person probably as skilled as herself in the ways of society. Araminta's dress showed that her maid has beon put to some trouble in preparing her for action. Tho knight in his black frock coat asserted the eminent dignity of the family. (Behind his chair the new valel silently sLationed himself. "Oh, I thought," said Lady Peak- man to the caplain, as she raised her glasses and swept the table with her glance she had reached the point where Lord Pendlebury ��������� who, she observed in a moment, still retained his grey tweed coat ��������� was sitting, "I thought, captain, th.it yo-i would havo been able to arrange lhat Lord Pendlebury should join our party at the head of ihe table." "I should havo been very happy," said tha captain, with the indifference of a matter-of-fact man who was master of his ship, "to find Lord Pendlebury a place somewhere up here, had ho applied to me in time. But, he selected his own seat." "Oh, I know. Ho came on board late," said her ladyship. And turning hor eyes inquiringly across the table, .she added, with a curious mixture of graclousness and insolence, "Perhaps Air. McGowkie could " "Nai'said Sandy 'McGowkie', drily, interrupting'her. "We're no to move, my'Lady Peakman, noo we're settled down in these seats. His lordship may just shift for himsel'." "The impertinent piippyi" said Lady Peakman to himself. "And after his lordship has been so condescending to him." "'v- The lady opposite McGowkie could hardly repress a smile, which the : knight caught and .resented. Lady Peakman had not been eo fortunate. i."Oh," she said, turning" deliberately towards tho stranger, "there he is a lady who, I believe, has .no companion.' Dp you think, madam,, that it ' might be possible to arrange that Lord i Pendlebury���������a friend of ours ��������� who 'is at the foot of the table, might be allowed lo join us by making an ex-, change of seats with you?" ���������' . ' ."Lord Pendlebury, madam," said the lady, quietly raising a single eye-glass and looking at the peer, "is ���������an old friend of ours���������I mean, of mine ���������and I can scarcely conceive that' he would consent' to the arrangement you'propose." '', ^ '"Che table must stand as it is ar- . ranged," said the captain, bluntly, nnd he was dashed in Lady Peakman's i good graces for ever. j The I-onight smiled all the lime, and J bowe<?... with affected ��������� approval .upon greatest ease he instantly entered into conversation with tlie strange lady about tho young peer. Hor accent gave him a hint, which he improved. "Ho was a short timo in Ireland, I J think?" said lie, deferentially: Tho experienced dame gave a sly side-glance at Lady Peakman, on this incautious admission by her husband that Iho "friendship" wilh the young lord was noL of sufficient intimacy to liave enabled them to follow his no- lorious movements. "I knew him very well in Dublin," said (ho lady, "when he was an aide- de-camp to the Lord-Lieutenant. He was so clover, everyboJy liked him at the Castle." ' Sandy AloGowkio's under jaw was a study. Alistress McGowkie looked frightened. This was a battle with great guns, and she knew who she thought bad won. Mr. Carpmael, with lawyer-like alacritry," turned the conversation, oul of which Lor A Pendlebury was allowed to drop "like a hot potato." Lady Peakman had used her , scented handkerchief very vigorously, and then applied herself to^the soup. As sho laid down tho spoon, her eye fell on the face of the knight's valet, who stood sedately behind his chair. He was looking straight at her. Their eyes therefore met. A curious change passed over his face swiftly, like,.a flash of lightning. "Good Lord!" cried Lady Peakman, and sho fain Led away. Ln an instant there was immense commotion. The valet darted round the tabic and supported his lady. Araminta screamed. Everybody jimp- ed up. Little Alistress AIcGowkio was tho only one who retained her presence of mind.' She clapped a bottle of smelling salts to her ladyship's nose, and dashed a glass of water in her face. But it was not a fit which would yield to those remedies. " Lady Peakman was carried by the valet and captain into her cabin, the knight following and wringing his hands. The doctor, who had, on taking a glance at her, instantly run for' his lancet, now ordered' the cabin to be cleared. Latex on it was reported in tbe ship that Lady Peakman had had a slight fit, brought on by eating too rapidly when, in a state of excessive weakness. Two persons were ceaseless in their inquiries .and in their offers of help, namely,1 "Mrs. AIcGowkio and the lady who sat next lo Airs. Carpmael. This lady's maid, an older and more experienced person than either AlaTia or Miss Bingdove, was installed for a lime in charge of the invalid. She gave as, the name of her mistress. Airs. Belldoran; i One'person on board had not yet taken advantage of the finer weather to leave his quarters. Tho door of the captain's cabin, surrounded as we have seen by aristocratic and pretty loungers, remained closed, save when Nick Donovan, the steady-going Irish servant of its tenant, now and then entered to wait upon his master. Air. Corcoran, for he must now be known by his correct name, was not merely kept in hiding by a pusillanimous sham, but his terror at the idea of another meeting���������even under more dignified conditions���������with his divorced lady was more than he could overcome. On her'���������part, as we have seen, there appeared to be no such mauvaise honte. She had gone to dinner ready to face any emergency. .When the excitement created by Lady Peakinan's illness had subsided, and people, finding the patient did not mean immediately to die, resumed their places, Alas. Belldoran made herself agreeable to the company about her. Lord Pendlebury joined her as she was leaving the saloon, and a few words passed between them. "Well, you have not forgotten me?"' she said. "O no, Airs. Cor 1 mean���������whew ! I forgot 1 A thousand excuses. Forgive mo. What shall 1 say ?" ' 'Airs. Belldoran." ��������� -" Your family name. -Of course 1 have not forgotten you. What a delightful place that CasLle was!���������But what changes!���������How terrible all this,is ! forgive me, I cannot help alluding to it." " Oh I" said tho lady, touching her eyes with her pocket-handkerchief. "What 1 have sulfered I And now, what do you think ? Come into my-cabin a moment, where no- one can hear us, and let me tell you. You swear you Will never utter, a word of this? Well.

Then she began to - cry. ' " Arid do you know," she continued, sobbing, " the poor creature I my maid tells me they mistook, him for a murderer, and put him in iron's.

Ho bit his lips, for he "knew not what else to say, The chance of a, re-establishment was gone, for here was' the lady en route to be married.

He had nothing but Coreoran's word for it. "Who says so?" said the lady, vehemently. ��������� "I have sren 'him in the next cabin. Ho told me the whole story. He as- ured me on his honour as a man and be, his wife; had satisfied himself that her reverned father, the vicar of a small Yorkshire parish, and his' wife were dead, which cut him free of "embarrassing relationship's;" and so having afterwards found her in every way a clever, economical, indefatigable, ambitious wife, had sought to know no more. He learned that sho had suffered a great deal from and through her former husband, an English adventurer, who had been made, on some absurd ground, an Italian count. All she possessed was ~������200 a year, which tho man had settled on her at her marriage, yet upon this she'had been managing to live",in continental' hotels. She was .called upon for no confession���������she' gave none. She made up her mind to marry this Canadian merchant, who was comfortably off, a man of agreeable address, and, as she could discern, with a keen business talent. She read him thoroughly. She knew what she could do with him. And- she had done much. Ho leant on her, he' looked up to her; he affected to be master, and he was her slave. Or, rather, no. They were thoroughly one. Either of them would have lain 1 Christian that there was not a word down to make a bridge for the .other, of truth Ln that evidence, though he admits he behaved stupidity and unadvisedly." c "Heaven ,lielp me!" cried Airs. Belldoran, thi owing herself down and weeping bitterly. If I could only believe it! I have never " had a" happy hour since this horrible thing happened. Pray leave me," she added, holding up her'hand and motioning him away. The young peer, greatly moved, walked out on the now darkened deck, and paced up and down a full hour before he could .recover his self-command. CHAPTER IX. All night long Lady Peakman lay in her berth, The curtain was drawn, to shade from her eyes the light, which by tbo captain's permission had been left burning.

They had visited England in the summer, expressly to take Araminta home, in order that she might first trot over the course of provincial society.

Yet withal he was a little incredulous the other day when (old, of a young man who had been cored of a very serious and deplorable disease by the uso of only some two boxes of these little miracle workers. It seemed impossible that such a remarkablo healing could be wrought even by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in such short order. Accordingly ho was possessed of a.strong desire to investigate. Air. Winfred , Schofield, of Gaspereau, waa the address given us by our informant, and were not long in hunting him up. Wo found Mr. Schofield to be a bright young man of about twenty years of age and of more than ordinary intelligence. His air of candor and straightforwardness dispelled any doubts we . may 'have had. In, a veiw few words, he stated to us his' case. "Two years ago," he said, "I was taken with an at- fcick of Sf. Vitus Dance. Sometimes- when at work I found that my fingers would all at once straighten hut and I would be compelled to drop anything I was holding. One day I was using an axe when seized with one of these ' attacks.' The axo slipped, from my hands and in falling struck- my foot and gave it a nasty cut. Alter that you can depend upon it I left axes alone, and it was not long before I had to give up using any kind of tool. Aly complaint rapidly grow worse and 1 was soon unfitted for any sort of work. Everything- possible was tried by me in order to get relief, , but I got no better. At last one day a neighbor of mine, Air. Fred Fielding, who had been cured by the use. of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, advised me to give them atrial, offering to pay fo.- them himself if they did not help me. Aa it turned) out he was safo enough in making tho offer. I followed his advice, but had scarcely begun to use them when I began lo feel .very much better. 'After using two boxes I was perfectly cired and have never been troubled., with the complaint since. lam confident, that to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills alone I " owe my cure. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills create new blood, build up the nerves, and thus drive disease , from the syntem. In hundreds of cases I hey have cured after all other medicines have failed, thus establishing the claim that they are a marvel among the triumphs of modern medical science.

At times she burst into fits of weepingi Had Alaria been awake, she could have heard the sobs,, and the low moans between them, which, strong as her mistress was, arid desperately , as she strove to stifle them, would have way.

Under (he title."In Dead Eyes," an evenihg contemporary recently made a statement which carries its own confutation with it, says London Lancet. It is to the effect that a physician and enthusiastic photographer, being desirous of testing the' amount of truth in the theory that dead eyes re- Lain complele images, had carefully examined the eyes of hundreds of dead people, and though he had never seen anything like a distinct picture mirrored he had certainly distinctly traced both letters and objecls on tha iris of the eye, and that when.the photographic test was applied these images became visible. In one case a'capitaJ letter of peculiar form was shown which could be traced to a Testament hold in the hands shortly before death", in another case a numeral was distinctly pictured which; was traced lo a clr.ck-face in the room. Tho article in question continues: "The chief scienlific paper of Franco only, the other ; day ������ave , full,' particulars of a case where ;> woman who died in one of the hospitals had, two numbers, 10 arid-45, mirrored in tho . iris of her eyes." , These absurd stories originate in the well-known experiments .of Kuhno on ��������� the visual purple of the retina, in. the course of which he showed that by making special arrangements tno crossbars of a window focused on.the retina could be'brought into relief. The enthusiastic, photographer, if he be not ���������misquoted, ought lo have known that no well-defined, images of tfie external world are cast upon the iris, and none; therefore, could be preserved. The surface of the iris is far too uneven to act as a mirror. ATxireover, as no arrangements weiemade to prevent lhe further acrion of light after death, Lhey would if ever formed be certainly obliterated as the image of a photographic plate would bn if permanently exposed. Tlie only mode in which an image impressed on the retina could be rendered visible would be Lo ���������idopt lhe Kuhno���������viz., by exposing Ihe eye previously kept in the dark foi a minute or two to an illuminated object, ihen exlirpaling il, opening it, and immediately plunging it into r solution of alum. The image develops in the course of twenty-four houro.

In her hands^ was, a big spray of white lilac, and as Paul looked down eagerly she raised her eyes and swept ,a long searching glance over tho windows opposite. Then for the space ot a second her eyes met his and with an almost imperceptible motion of recognition sho turned away. "Was it intentional?" The vainest man could not be quite certain, and, , although Paul waited patiently, there was no other sign. Twice before ho had seen her, and, although unacknowledged, it was this vague expectation that kept Paul dawdling in his room. "Pshaw I I am an idiot. Why should she not look from her window if sho wants to? Still, I'll go out," which wise resolution ho immediately put into practice. But he lingered for a moment near the'fountain which was directly under the fair unknown's window. Did she watch for him ? A tiny spray of lilac from an unseen hand fell at his feet! For more than an evening Paul sat -in his room regardless of all engagements, but the coquette, my raur lady. Well, better luck to-morrow I Perhaps there is a curtains opposite remained' elbsed, "A strict maman or jealous mair,' or she is frightened at her own temerity. Those fellows are waiting, I expect." But Paul was dimly conscious of a disappointment, and the gay little chansons sung by the sprightliest of charming Parisiennes. fell on deaf ears. "Alon ami," his chum D'Albert said to him, "what is the matter? You are quiet, as you express it yourself, -'glum.' Is it indigestion, or a line of the new libretto that troubles you ? Debts sit lightly on you, I know, and you have never been in love. Be gay, my friend. A countryman of yours, Anstruther, is coming to supper in my studio." Paul laughed lightly in answer to his friend's raillery, but vouchsafed no explanation. A momentary glimpse of her tho next day; a slight motion of a white hand���that was all 1 In the evening the windows wore open, and the curtains drawn far back so that tho whole of the lighted room -was revealed to Paul's eyes. It was empty, but presently she came in, dressed in rich, soft robes of satin and filmy lace. Almost- simultaneously the door leading from the corridor opened, and a man entered, who went straight up to the lady and began to talk with much animation. Paul took up his opera glasses. He was ��� well "built and ��� tall, with a bearing of a soldier, but his face boro the impress .of sensual indulgence. Presenlly he pressed a bell and gave an order. Iu response to tho command, tho servant returned wiLh a leather-bound box, which he laid before the gentleirian sympathy. Aly parents���I dare not, ior it is they who havo sold me���nay, worse, for they imbued me with the idea that what I did was right and true. Aly soul revolts against the lies which I uttered at the altar, and which I must live every day as long aa 'my life lasts. Aly husband! 1 shrink from his touch,' and yet that is cruel to him. Religion might bring mo somo consolation, but il bids me honor and love (hose who have, made me what I am. All my life long I have been surrounded by those who told me what thoy deemed expedient���never the truth. I am only a. weak woman, and somehow it comforts me to think y'ou will read these lines, and there will bo one in the world who will understand. I am alone���alone.���alone." Thero 'was no signature. The simple lines touched Paul and roused every chivalrous instinct in him.,Every luxury that wealth could give her, and beauty such as any woman might delight,in, and yet���Lha-t letter wiLh iLa pitiful wail of loneliness. All the brightness and gayety seemed to have gone, and the hum from the busy, merry streets resolved itself into discords that beat into Paul's brain. He felt as if a nightingale were being dissecLed beforo his .very eyes. With a. comprehension that was almost feminine in its insight, he knew that there was no ulterior motive in hor desire for sympathy, lhat it was not the cry of the .would-be emancipated woman longing to break her vows and indulgo in a vulgar amour. ��� It was a little time before Paul dared venture on a wfitLen message to" her, and then ho had to wait his oppor-, tunity to convey it to her hands unseen.. At- last he managed by dexterously throwing it in on her balcony. "Madame," ho wrote, "I have to, thank you for your confidence, and for the friendship with which you havo honored me.. These written words can but inadequately express what I owe to your sweet and gracious sympathy. You have brought a charm into myi life -that time and distance can nevcrl efface, for the thought of you never fails to bring "purer ideals and to stir my weak efforts to better ends." And so for more than a week this strange friendship held him in its; thralls. At certain hours the window opposite would be opened, and for some brief minutes they held that subtle sweet communion with each other, and Paul rejoiced to seo that some of tho deep sadness was leaving the lovely face. . But the inevitable came at last. Ono morning, when tho curtains remained closed, Paul could give himself no rest from tormenting fears. Had they been discovered ? So far as he knew no eye could overlook thorn from the situation of tho rooms, but who knew what tales a spy might not carry ? Had he been so careless of her? It was.late in the evening before ho ventured out, and then he took his way round to the sido of the court underneath the windows of tho suite of rooms occupied by Adolo and her husband. There were some figures on the balcony, and Paul's breath came quickly as he recognized them. Would ���I will be good���and, perhaps, in lhat world beyond, we shall know each other again, and all'will be made perfect- In that hope, my friend, adieu���adieu. ���Adele." , One evening in_Covent Garden Theater, five years lately Paul looked across and saw in a box a man whose face haunted him with a curious remembrance; "Who is that do you know, Anstruther ?" he said to his friend. "I seem to know the face." - "That man ? An imperial highness, no less. The,grand duke���he is very fond of cutting about the world incognito. When I was in St. Petersburg Ioften saw him and his wife, a lovely woman, but very fragile-looking and such a sad faco. I think sho found life could lio a tragedy for a royalty even in the nineteenth century. Sho died about a 'year ago���Alay, I think it was." "Anything else ?" Paul asked, in a curious choked voice. Ho had recognized Adele's husband. It was the man who had placed the gems on her neck and arms, the man who had taken ono of the fairest creatures God had made to cherish and protect, and yet had made her life a sorrowful burden. "Oh I he is married again," Anstruther ' answered. "Alorganatic affair with a baroness something. It was preLty notorious' before, and I often wondered if it had anything to do with the princess' sad looks. Everybody loved her, they said she was so good." The years - pass away, bringing fame and wealth to Paul Waring, and the-''tide of > time obliterates many hopes,' and fears, iand loves, but the memory of A'dele will always come, pure and sweet as the blossom itself, when tho white lilac blooms.

The rags may b�� cut Ihe width for ordinary rag carpels and woven with warp. In culling the rags, cut them round and jound.

In large pieces, such as the legs of trousers, cut off the corners, so as to make them oblong, and proceed as before, cutting round and round. A simple way of making a rag iug at homo of blue and_while bed ticking. Aleasure off a, piece of bed ticking of I he length and width you desire your rug to bo. Have tho stripes run across Lhe width of the rug, npt lengthwise. Cut the rags aboul an inch and a half wide by two and a half long. Sew them as Lhickly together as you can along lhe blue stripes. .Alake a box pleat in the centre of each rag1 in order lo compress it into a close bunch at Lhe point where iu is sowed on tho ticking, and sew it on very firmly. The ends of the rags sland up lo form the- surface of Lho rug. Sometimes rags are knit into rugs with heavy white daining colton. Cut the rags the same size and knit "them closely together, inserting them in Lhe process of Icnilting so thai they cover up tho cotton knitting and sland up Lo form lhe surface of the rug; These rugs are lined, so the foundation oi. knitted threads is entirely concealed. IL is much easier to understand how lo make these rugs after seeing one. They are always made Ln 'hit and miss" fashion.

But nearly every woman has a penknife and finds plenty of use for it. Usually she has bought it herself, for she prefers that it shall not be a gift. Any man who gives a womaa a penknife will find himself regarded with suspicion. It isn't that she is superstitious. Oh. no, of course she isn't.

After a preliminary investigation it has been ascertained that no one is blamabie l'or the Ainsworth disaster. In nearly every Alanitoba paper you take up you read something about some case of bigamy, and it is no wonder. In any cold country like that two wives are none too many. A. L. McDonald and ��������� A. Malcolm, miners, were killed in a snow glide at the Silver Queen mine, Burton City, on Saturday last. They both left Rossland last month to work on that mine. It is reported that a Sandon professional gentleman and an eastern lady are to be married on Xmas day, but lest we should be treading on dangerous ground we will say no more about it till later. . ' At the annual meeting of the Sandon L. 0. L., Monday evening,, the following officers were elected: A. David, W.M.; H. Nash, D.M.; G. Lovatt, Chap.; W. Wilson, Treas.; D. J. Robertson, Sec; W. H. Todd, D. of C. Several of the skaters, particularly the ladies,! on Thursday evening expressed the wish that the band would pl������y at least three nights a week and that the ladies of the church keep a ������������������lunch room as on that evening. The Rev. Sanford preached at the Idaho mine on Wednesday evening, walked down the next morning in two 'hours and,was home at 8:30. It is unnecessary to say that he got up a little earlier than usual to do it. Mrs. Manuel, well known to some,of our citizens has taken over the Kootenay hotel and will conduct it in the future. She intends to put in a No. .1 boarding department^ and.conduct the house on first-class lines throughout. Dr. Young received, a telegraai on Wednesday conveyingthe sad intelligence of the death of his eldest brother at Gravenhurst, Ont,, a day or so before. The deceased had been^a prosperous hardware merchant in that town. The city brass band made its debut on Thursday evening at the skating rink, where they played several-pieces. The general conclusion is that the members did well, better than was expected, considering the short time they have had their instruments. The fancy sale on Thursday was a decided success, financially. The ladies succeeded in disposing of most of the goods they had for sale at good prices, and fed the multitudes, not ���������with a few loaves and fishes, but with an abundant supply of delicacies. The following appears in the British Columbia Gazette : "Notice is hereby given that His Honor the Lieutenant- Governbr-in-Couhcil has been pleased to rescind the Order-in-Council of the 29th October, 1897, approving a regulation which provides for relief against forfeiture owing to the lapse of a free miner's certificate, such recession to take effect on and after the 15th day of November." ���������\Yliitewatir wants a J.,I'. and a constable;.

Fred Ross; light-weight champion of the North-West and Jerry Haley, of California, will box at the music hall to-night; and Haley and Percj Wilkinson will box there on the evening of the 27th. The'treasurer of the Sandon Brass Band wishes to extend the thanks of the members to Air. P. Burns for a donation of ������15; also to Mr. Tomlinson for an equal amount, somo time previous. Similar, or any, favors will be thankfully received at any time. The Knights of Pythias in full uniform attended church in the Virginia hall on 'Sunday evening. The hall was filled to its utmost capacity. > The Uniformed Knights looked exceedingly well���������that is the suits' wc moan, without reference to all who were in them. The choirs of both churches and the orchestra of the Methodist were'in attendance and contributed, very much tothe interest in/the service. Both the Rev.J.A.Cleland and the Rev. A*.M. Sanford delivered excellent addresses bearing on the utility of such societies in general. The roof of the Slocan News Co.'s premises caught fire again on Manday through a defective chimney, and a few minutes work from the brigade put out the flames. But little damage was done. The city council ought to have some competent party go through the city and see that all fire traps were j- made safe. In a place like this where ' there is practically no insurance, all being at the mercy or the care of their neighbors, it becomes a serious matter. Every chimney and all connections with chimneys ought to be thoroughly looked into at'once. PERSONAL MENTION.

Our citizens were much pained on Thursday evening on hearing of the death of Mr. A. H. Stirritt. The deceased came here from Calgary some eighteen months ago and engaged in the transfer busines. A couple of months ago he contracted pneumonia. He recovered considerably, but took a relapse and grew gradually worse until the end. He leaves a wife and two children in the city, who have the uympathy of Sandon's citizens in their, bereavement. Dececeased was a member of the I.O.O.F., the local lodge taking charge of the funeral, which will be held Sunday morning prior to the departure of the train for New Denver. . The Rev. J. A. Cleland will conduct ��������� the services. 'There are some who say that Mr. Harris' projected girdling of the Payne mountain with a tunnel is just the thing, but that it will be difficult to get the necessary capital. It should not be nearly ab difficult as many people imagine. Every one knows there is plenty of money awaiting what the holders call safe investments, and as known leads of good mineral are regarded as safe investments, daylight is the more readily seen through the ' project. It is absolutely certain, that ���������while the undertaking will call for a lot of capital ultimately, as the work went on leads would be encountered giving capitalists evidence, as their money went into it, that they had ample security. In short it would only be investing on the instalment prin- . ciple, assets turning up from time to time, as the work went on, for the expenditure. I Mrs. Wilmot, of Spokane, is visiting in town, the guest of Miss Egan. Mr. P. Burns, the meat king of West Kootenay, was in town Thursday. Mr. R. Patterson, of the Bank of B.

Mr. Christie, barrister, is shortly to take a trip to "Medicine Hat." His friends all wish him a pleasant trip. Mrs. G. D. Smyth, of Brandon, Man., sister of Mrs. Clifi'e, arrived in the city on Thursday and will make a two or three months' visit here. Aid. Switzer, late of the Kootenay hotel, is shortly to remove to Victoria, where his partner is now in business. All will join in wishing him success. R. F. Green, M.-P; P., M. A.
