The Ruth closed down Monday because they have no smelter returns since.November, and the Whitewater ia likely to, follow suit at any time. The American trust on the other hand have made no returns because they have not used-the ores. The situation then is they either lack , lluxes, disagree on rates, .or they refuse to take the market price for their bullion, and the public have no means of knowing which circumstance is responsible for the non- smelting. No matter which, however, either has the same influence on.British Columbia production. Even if the American trust had not the.American market by the throat, American duties prevent the export of British Columbia bullion across the line. The only solution is more independent smelters and independent markets. As we write we have before us a synopsis ofa contract of a local mine, which shows 28 cents per c. asanetdiffereneein favor of the American market for le������idas against the London market; but when conditions close that market to us, the only-solution is make our own markets and compete against the world. A re- talliatory duty against American, manufactures of lead will give us our own market as far as i<- aoes, but , that is not large enough for our products���������we want more. . \ The export duty, advocated by the Nelson Tribune's exalted genius would only deduct so .much from the value of our product when, exporting. A bonus on export would add: .so ..much to the value of. our ore when going into competition with :U(e worl4,^\yhich,^appears to bei the only solution of the:'problem;" THE LOCAL GRAFT.

McKonzie, late foreman at the Arlington mine, died in Nelson last week. Col. Brayton says the K. & S. land department is doing a large business in farming and timber lands in several districts these times. Rev. .T. G. Shearer, iield secretary of the Lord's Day' Alliance, delivered a lecture on Sunday Observance in the Methodist church Tuesday evening." The Kootenaian-never speaks of the mines tributary to Kaslo without including the Payne. Why stop there ? Why not include the Le Roi, etc.,etc.? There is no use in making two bites at a cherry that way. Six or seven young ladies of .the city went . "Star gazing" on Wednesday night, which might mean studying astronomy. They took with them a rev. gentlemen to explain the gealogy of all worlds they saw. < , ��������� \Cliffe & Co. received this week a shipment of lead pencils from the Dixon Pp.' manufacturers, San Francisco, that had been shipped in October ��������� last.

','������������������' ; Some local.papers report'a fatal acci-; dent, at the Queen Bess last week, by the expiosioh.of powder. These things are bad enough when true; but when untrue, as this is",'they are infinitely worse. A', man'had slight injury done to one eye; and that is all there i9 about it. A telegram was received Thursday afternoon to.the effect that the Sandon Juniors defeated the Rosslaiid club by a score of 5 to 0. Oh enquiry it proved to be the Intermediate team of that' town and not the Junior League match. The game was played to fill the change of programme caused by the non-arrival of the Sandon Seniors. .Unless another change is made the Juniors are billed to play on Saturday, and it is confidently lioped they will-repeat the score. Here is what the Vancouver New-Advertiser has to say of the antics of our confrere. From the comments it will be seen the publication of such a print is not only a reflection on itself, but on the business people of the city who support it as well: "Not much, however, can be,expected of a city, the people of which support a local press which continually reviles religion and things decent, and favors the reduction of even marriage to a merely business contract, easily entered and as easily broken���������of course; to the lasting injury of wife and family." Some people are more nice than wise. The Kootenaian, for instance, has been greatly shocked because Sandon held its carnival so soon after the death of the queen. We would like that print to show where the name or memory of our beloved sovereign is more desecrated by holding the carnival when it was held than they would be by holding it a month later ? Out of respect for the feelings of sensitive people like the Kootenaian, however, the committee would have postponed it when the death of Her Majesty was announced, had postponement been possible without immoderate sacrifice.' When the sad news came, however, the proceedings were, so far completed, that the carnival either had to go on as announced or be abandoned altogether. A dance was held Monday. Remember theK. of P. dance in Bosun Hall, New Denver, on the 22nd. An enjoyable social was held in the Presbyterian church Thursday evening. Even the lawyers are affected by the death of the queen. Q.C. is now changed toK. C. Sherry Burchill has started an accountant's office in E. M.Sandiland's building. R. F. Green, M.P.P., of Kaslo, and W. IT. Sandiford, of New Denver, were in town yesterday. The Junior hockeyists defeated the Seniors at a practice game on Monday evening by a score of 7 to 2. Owing to a snowslide near Bear Lake the K. &'.'~S. train did no come in on Thursday. It was late the following day before the track was cleared. The Sandon Forwarding Co. have sent over fourteen head of mules and horses to the Liilooet country, where they have a contract for hauling mill machinery for the Lome mine. Mr. J. P. Martin, cigar manufacturer, has had to increase the number of his brands. He is putting -up; some fine lines of choice Havanas, and has to secure more help' to keep up with the demand. ; ' We understand that a curling rink, probably Mr. Robt. McDonald's, intends to try conclusions with Kaslo on the latter's ririk, either Monday or Tuesday .evening. We'll bet dollars to doughnuts on "Bob." J. M.- Harris had a few men with a horse and plow engaged in-repairing the Recp trail this week, which had:become all'hills and'"-hollows, thereby rendering rawhidingTyery difficult- "' at Three Forks on | HINES AND fUNING. let fun at coasting,is done away with, for time at least. ��������� ..- -; The curling now going on at Rossland and in which Sandon is deeply interested, resulted so far as we could obtain in reference to the Sandon players, of Hall winning'8 out of 10 games, and M. L. Grimmett 1 out of 5. These figures were the standing Friday morning,-and of course liable to be greatly altered before the bonspeil is 6ver.' . Tlie teachers of the public school have decined to hold a special visiting day on Friday afternoon of each week. Parents and others, who are interested in the education of the j'oung, are cordially invited. A short programme will be rendered by the pupils, to which any assistance on the part of visitors, will be greatly appreciated by the teachers. Quite a few Sandonites went with the Junior hockey team to the Rossland carnival on Wednesday. Their bull-dog mascot, "Junior," gaily decorated with the club's colors, accompanied them also. It is sincerely hoped oui boys will return crowned with victory, thereby retaining the cup for ever and the Junior Hockey Championship of British Columbia for another year. It is said the provincial legislature will be asked to vote )f8,000 to defray the expenses of a lacrosse team to Australia. We sincerely hope any such proposition will be voted down with a rush. When the people ask for incidental expenses for schools, roads, bridges, and other public improvements, they are invariably told the provincial resources are very limited. If the sports of the coast want to win glory among our antipodes, let them provide the money for it themselves. The Sandon Senior hockey clnb, to their regret, did not participate in the league games at tlia Rossland carnival. The reason is they were unable to form a team without drawing from the Juniors. If the latter plaved early in the week, they could play with the Seniors also, but the Junior match being the main drawing card, not taking place until the last day, they were debarred, consequently, they had to abandon the idea altogether. The Mountain Con Company have a tunnel contract to D. McDonald. The Soho and Great Western, McGuigan properties, are to be worked with larger forces in the spring. The Wonderful has let out the five or six men it had employed, arid may not resume again before spring. There are eigh't men at work on the Kaslo group on Cody creek. A car of ore has been shipped to Trail. In the shaft at the lower tunnel of the Rambler-Cariboo, two feet of clean ore have been recently discovered. It is generally understood the Star mill will start up as soon as a water supply is available, which may be in a couple of weeks. .They , are not wholly dependent on smelter whims, as they have considerable storage capacity for concentrates. It is not- shown the Molly Gibson is valueless because it has shut down. Manager White says neglect of eastern directors to send on the necessary cash to operate is the cause of the shut down, which only indicates the property has not been,paying its way all along. Although Mr. Alexander could not give his 60 or 70 miners assurance they would resume before May, it is confidently hoped smelter difficulties will be fully adjusted long before that. There may, however, be even "a darker hour before the dawn'?���������that is more properties may close down before a settlement all around is effected. As it is, 24 hours had not elapsed before some of the men let out were on' their way to other camps, and probably half of them are The children's j away by this time.; . : '': /'';;; I Will Open Up the Corinth. 1 ' ���������'"'-- .! .'��������� , -z ��������� ' Harry Low and'A.

Very Tittle work has been done on the Corinth for the last year, shipping some 80 tons of ore in.that time. The leasees think they will be able .in the sprinsr to ship a car a day. as they will.have considerable development done which will warrant that output. At the present time work in the tunnels is being kept up. The Vies of Rossland beat Revelstoke at hockey yesterdey by 6 to 1. It is expected the Revelstoke team will play a return nialch with our Seniors hereon Tuesday. If so, a lively game is sure. It is estimated'there are less than 560 tons of gold in the world available for money, or $4,000,000,000. In currency there is about the same amount of silver in circulation there is of gold, the world over.

That cattle are very prone l'owi indigestible themi injurious been known to swal- subsiahces, many of and even fatal, has to veterinarians for a long time. It. is, however, regarded by many of them as of rare occurrence, a casualty 'worthy of note more as a curiosity than as something demanding constant attention. Afutppsle's on tuberculous cattle made during the, past four years have i shown clearly that injuries inflicted by pointed metallic bodies are'of frequent occurrence, and therefore of decided economic importance. Information gained from the above- mentioned examinations causes us to believe that this evil may, to some extent, be prevented. It was noticed that wMle in certain herds nearly all animals examined were free from injuries due to foreign bodies, in others nearly every one was injured. On investigation it was ascertained that this difference was due to the fact that one herd had access to miscellaneous ob- with almost flinty hardness. What connection has this with horse management on the farm ? What ia the hoof, anyhow? Hoofs of all animals are made of practically the same material as the skin of the horse, the horn of the cow and the nail of the man. The layers are closer packed in the hoot than in the skin, while the horn and nails are made of die same material, but of less thickness, than the hoof. If you soak the horns, nails and hoofs in strong soda water the scales will separate, and when placed under a nicroscope furnish the proof of similarity. ' Hoof, whether alive or dead, will'' absorb 30 per cent of water, thus increasing both its weight and bulk. Under natural conditions the horse is provided with the required moisture ,not in the shape of oil, of which it will absorb only 7 per cent, but of water. If, now, you allow a horse to stand in the stable for a considerable time depending on the absorption of its own urine for the water for the. hoof, you must expect the feet to become small, possibly to crack open,, and the result, contracted heels, wasted frog and wbat is known as navicular diseases'. Next, the digestive system becomes poultry are not particular. Some that is weedy or of an inferior quality will do. One or two good-sized bundles of grain for each flock of 20 to 30 hens should be spread out daily on the floor. The unthraehed sheaves of grain should bo stored in a shed if possible to keep it dry and free from snow, When' the weather permits the poultry to be out the grain may be spread on the ground iu tho yard. RENEWED VIBOR. BROUGHT ABOUT.THROUGH THE USE OF DR. WILLIAM'S PINK PILLS. WHO SHOULD KEEP BEES. Any person who'is fond of the study of nature particularly of the habits of the honey bee, can succeed, while those w'ho still cling to the brimstone and dishpan notion, and who shun the little pets because they sting should avoid this pursuit. A careless and lazy person is sure to fail. The requirement." are tact, patience, watchfulness and gjod judgment, and a desire to emulate the busy humming marauder and improve each shining hour. . , ^ ��������� ��������� ... ,,.

Before giving any illustration of thes6 statements let us see what injuries' are caused by, foreign' bodies. Among the most frequent post-mor tem indications of the presence of some foreign body are evidences of an inflammatory process about the second stomach reticulum, or honeycomb by which it becomes fastened either to the liver or to the diaphragm, or to both. In the new tissue, formed by this inflammatory process are oner or m'ore round abscesses, or tumors, which, when cut open, discharge afoul- smelling pus. In some of the herds examined scarcely an animal .was free from this inflammatory condition. The bindingi down of the free ventral end of the liver by inflammation is equally frequent and accompanied by a defeneration of some of the liver tissue, Again, the course of the foreign body is invariably toward the lungs and the heart. It,punctures the liver or the diaphragm and penetrates a lobe of the lungs or the heart. When it enters the lungs a pneumonia is usually started which extends over the greater part of the affected lobes. In' some instances an abscess forms, and this may' break into an air tube and the contents) be discharged externally. : The most unfortunate and usually fatal injury is the penetration' of the heart by the pointed body. Death may come, speedily or slowly after a wasting disease, according to the nature of the injury to the heart. In the cases which we have seen the injury usually resulted in an inflammation of the pericardial sac, followed by suppuration. The pericardium becomes enormously distended with fluid a������.d pus, This exudate compresses the heart to sucii an extent that its action becomes very feeble and death results from general drop3y. Another disease which has been lately observed by us in dairy cattle, as a result of injury to the second stomach by foreign bodies, is abscess' in the liver. Sometimes (here were as many as five or six o������ these abscesses, each, at least us large as a hen's egg und filled with foul pus.��������� Report Bureau; of Animal Industry. THE HOIiSK'K FOOT. Every farmer must have noticed that horses grown in dry countries have small, upright feet, and those grown on wet, low lands have flat, wcak- hceled ones, as a rule. Ponies grown for: generations on steep hillsides: and rocky heights develop a strong, high foot, .with a small ground surface, but stable as little as possible- and keep them shod as short a time in the year as possible. Give them every opportunity to get their feet on the moist grass or ground, remembering the maxim, "No hoof, no horse." ORCHARD AND GARDEN. Garden soils are seldom too rich, Now is a good time to prune the quince. Do not. buy' large plants in full bloom. Soil and location will change the flavor of fruits. Give verbenas a rich but rather light soil. The rose is a hearty feeder. Therefore it will bear annual manuring. Bo' not apply a mulch until the ground is frozen reasonably hard. The object in mulching is to preserve as even a temperature as possible. Plant a tree just as deep as it stood in the nursery, allowing for the soil to settle. ' t'' A tree will rarely do ltd best with its' collar much too high or much too low in the ground. A newly translated tree should occupy a bed of fine, mellow soil with ample room for every root. ' If trees are rather large, when planted out they had better, be staked. Mulching the quince trees with coal ashes now will be found a good'plan. A little poultry manure put around each strawberry plant now will help to secure a thriftier growth. It may seem strange, but It is true, that'fruit of'fine appearance sells bet- j ter than that of extra quality. An unfruitful orchard may often K������ brought into bearing by a heavy application of good stable manure. All manure for the garden should be thoroughly rotted and fined before applying, even if applied now. . With quinces it is a good plan, any time after the leaves fall, to go carefully over the trees and cut back tho new growth. In keeping onion sets through the I winter it should be remembered that a cool, dry temperature is the essential thing. UNTIIRE3HED GRAIN. Save some unthrasheil grain fur the- poultry in winter. 'It will save the thrasher bill, and the hens will even pay1 an extra profit on it. Wheat is best, but rye, oats, &c, will do. Yon need not take the beat grain, as the ARTIFICIAL WILTED FLOWERS. The imitators of nature in the floral line are fast becoming serious competitors of the florists who trade in naturally grown flowers. The following description of the latest triumph of the artists in artificial flowers is .interesting1. Dame Nature must spare no effort this coming spring if sha hopes, to outdo1 Dame Art in the (production of flowers of the field and garden. ������The velvet geraniums, pelargoniums, roses, poppies, fuchsias, ��������� chrysanthemums, marguerites, tulips, etc., that make up the floral display in the [shops just now are marvels of loveliness in grace and color. Every woman dressmaker is loading the evening gowns with garlands of rich blossoms, and so strong is tho influence of the, flowers that the gowns are given the names of the posies they exploit. One orders, lor example, an orchid dinner dress, or a geranium ball toilet, or an '.iris opera frock, and the whole color scheme of the costume is| laid down with a view, to* harmonizing with the tufts and festoons of brilliant blooms. Enormous shoulder, knots; of velvet roses or big pastel tinted peonies; ornament every black dress, and, not content, with garlanding the gowns, women pin mighty nosegays on their evening wraps, and their ostrich feather and chenille boas and on their chiffon and ermine inuffa, To render the flowers even more triumphantly- conspicuous [by gaslight, they are spangled, or glitter with silver dust along the edges of their velvet-and Silk muslin petals. This very frankly announces the floral garnitures as artificial, but does not detract from their beauty, though one of the oddest and most interesting! species of this false flora is; the (���������'harming wilted blooms that one artistic and enterprising manufacturer has produced. His wilted flowers are r.n:ide of liberty silk and are so amazingly natural in appearance that only by. actual touch and close: inspection can the deception be discovered.' A' chiffon gown trimmed entirely with pale yellow and pink wilted roses was voted the first prize by the women at a fashionable ball tin Now York, where no less thnn a couple of bushel baskets of artificial blossoms wore used in the ornamentation of Ihe cost union. .Wrs. Peter Beumcr Tells How These Pills Released Her Prom Years of Xrui-ulslac gMtnt After Doctors ami Oilier Medicines Uatt Failed. Among the best known and most respected residents of the township> of Gainsboro, Lincoln county, Ont., are Mr. and Mrs. Peter Beamer. For a long time Mrs. Beamer was the victim' of a complication of diseases, which made her life one of almost constant misery, and from which she nearly dispaired of obtaining relief. To a reporter who recently interviewed her, Mrs. Beamer gave the following particulars of her illness, and ultimate cure:���������"For some nine years I was troubled with a pain in1 Ihe back, and neuralgia, which caused me unspeakable misery. The pain in my back was so bad that whether sitting or lying down, I suffered more or less torture. My appetite left me, and I suffered from headaches accompanied, by attacks of dizziness that left me at times too weak to walk. My nervous system was badly shattered, so that the slightest noise would startle me, and my sleep at night was. broken by sheer exhaustion. I was under the care of three different doctors at various times, but did not succeed in getting more than the merest temporary relief. I also used several. advertised medicines, but with no better results. I was finally urged to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and got half a dozen boxes. In the course of a few weeks I noted considerable improvement, and as a consequence, I gladly continued the use of the pills for several months, with the result that every symptom of the malady left me, and I was able to do my housework (without the least trouble. As several years have passed since I have used the pills, I feel safe in saying that the euro is permanent, and the result also verifies the claim* that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure when other medicine fails." The reporter can only add that Mrs. Beamer's present condition indicates a state of perfect health, and speaks louder than mere words can'do, the benefit these pills have b&en to her. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have restored more Weak and ailing women and girls to robust health than any other medicine ever discovered, which in part accounts for their popularity, throughout the world. These pills are sold by all dealers or may be had by mail a/t 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing the Dr. Williams "Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

There are a great many people in this province who aie looking for great things from a proposed "competing" railway from the Boundary to Vancouver. As for our part, we can see nothing in it, .or nothing in any railway movement for ihe alleviation of particular wrongs except through government control, whenever that can be brought about. Everything in civilization in the . shape of industrial, commercial and financial interests, appears to be centering in trusts.,In our labor organizations, we have one huge trust, in commercial and financial matters (he drift is that way very rapidly; and it is safe to say that ten years will not have elapsed before all the railways on the American continent outside of government control, will be one huge trust also. It. is, of course, the history of things the world over that these trusts will not last forever. It will not be long in the combinations, until some interests conclude they" are not getting what they ought to get, anil selfishness will assert itself in a disruption, from which the public may either gain or lose. Already there are signs of breakups in some of the labor organizations, as the "hewers of wood" find they are made so that agitators may make an easy living out of them. It only requires a little more of the coming intelligence of the 20th centur}' to make this latter fact more readily apparent. , To our mind these disruptions are paving the way for government opportunities to purchase control, and to cooperate in the public interests,'if the management is taken out of the hands of partisans. It would never do for the candidate of a dominion party to have the nomination'of the officials and employees in tieneral.ot a railway���������political competency would never substitute for railway knowledge and efficiency. It would only end in public disaster. If, however, the railways of the country under government control were placed in charge of a Board responsible not to parties, but to the people as a whole, where partisanship would have no play and efficiency alone would count, there is no reason, why government control should not be made the one thing needed by the people.

SCOTT & I30WNE, Chemists, Toronto. GOLD VS. SILVER AND LEAD. The eagerness with which gold properties are grasped at in preference to silver, in some parts of the world, especially in Canada's eastern cities and England, is to say the leastof it remarkable. When the present owners bought the Le Roi at Rossland they paid $(> a share to the majority holders and $7.25 to many, who had smaller holdings, and to the present, the property has paid no more in dividends than the Payne that has not cost the present owner* one- quarter of the money. A glimpse over the facts also shows that of the twenty- four mines' of British Columbia that have paid dividends, eighteen of them are silver-lead properties in the Slocan, the whole of them costing present owners but little more, if any, than the present owners of the Lo Roi would ask for that property, if it was for sale. It is quite true that but few silver properties prove as large institutions as in any of the gold properties; but it is also a fact that it takes infinitely less capital lo buy and work them. A half a million, for instance, is a large price for any silver-lead mine, while any gold property of any note runs up into manv millions. Besides this, one-fourth'to one-tenth of the expenditure on a gold property in machinery and wages- produces more money in a silver-lead property. For instance, $15 a ton is a fair average of the value of the ore of the gold properties of this province, when that of but very few silver-lead mines runs below $60, and many,of them double that amount and more. It is quite true silver and lead fluctuate in value, while gold never does; but the drops by fluctuation have been so few in mining in this country, as to out but very little figure in a comparison of values. ' The consequences of a diseased condition of the stomach and digestive and nutritive system are most disastrous to the whole body. One by one every organ may become involved. The misery is maddening. The most extreme cases of "stomach trouble" and the evils resulting from it have been cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It strengthens the stomach, purines the blood and builds up the body with, sound healthy flesh. "I was taken with severe headache," writes Thonins A. Sw.nrls, Rox 103, Sub-Stnliou C, Columbus. Ohio, then cramps in the stomach, and my food would not digest, then kidney and liver trouble, and my back (jot weak so I could scarcely pet around. 1 just gnve money to the doctors whenever I thought they would do me any good, hut the more I doctored the worse I got until six yenrs passed. I had become so poorly I could only walk in the house by the aid of chair, mid I jjo't so l.hiii 1 had given up to die, thinking that 1 could not be cured. Then I saw one of my neighbor boys and lie said, '"Take ray advice and take J)r. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery and make a new man out of yourself." The first bottle helped ine so r thought 1 would get another, and after I had taken eight bottles in about six weeks I was weighed and found I had gained twenty-seven (r;) pounds. I have done more hard work in the past eleven months than I did in two years before, and 1 ntu as stout and healthy to-day, I think, as I ever was." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure biliousness. Tin: Nelson Tribune has now come to the conclusion that the mine owners favor, the contention of this paper instead of that of our Nelson confrere��������� that they approve of a government bonus instead of an export duty. Why any sane man should come to the conclusion they would decide otherwise, it is most difficult to understand. An. export duty would force the exporters to pay so much more when they sent min- real out of the country, and to submit to heavy smelter rates when they did not export. We believe the provincial j smelters are doing everything they possibly can to assist the provincial producers; but there is always something repugnant in human nature when compelled to accept Hobson'-s choice. When smelters are so numerous in Canada that they will compete with one another for local trade, the export duty nii;:ht work well enough, but until then the bonus on export is certainly preferable; W.

There are some people who say it requires judgment and foresight to make wealth, and that*wealth is never made without them. History, however, shows wealth is often the result of accidents. There is a case in point, in Ottawa. Someyears before thelirstbuildingswere erected in that city, ��������� a man named Sparks had assisted his employer in taking out timber on the land where the city now stands. The employer failed in his lumbering operations, and was unable to pay Sparks about a hundred dollars or so he owed him.' He finally, however olfered Sparks a deed of a piece of bush land as payment. Sparks found he could get' nothing else and accepted the deed under protest as it were. In a- year or so after. Colonel By commenced the 'liideau canal, and made one terminus of it through the iand Sparks took for his pay; With the canal commenced, the yillage of Bytown sprung up, Sparks selling lots for the site. Later the place was selected by the Queen as the capital of Canada, and called it Ottawa, Sparks selling land for the capital buildings, the lots for the best buildings and'blocks in the city on Sparks' street, the principal street of the place. We believe the old man is now dead, but by accepting the land forced on him, for atiillie, he has left his family immensely rich. History has many instances of this kind, showing that accident, and not foresight, and wealth often go hand in hand.

Investments in Mines. The leading eastern newspapers are beginning to 1 caii/.e the value of mining investments. ���������AVi'tniWs the following from the New York Tribune: , . : "The mining industry has paid moreJ dividends, compared with other industries, than any other ' business known, Compare the profits in mining with the profits of .the 156,000 odd miles of railroad,with the aggregated liabilities of nearly $10,000,000,000, then you see which pays best. Under the wing of mining there exists some of the safest and most profitable of all business. Take, for instance, the twelve great smelting companies���������the mineral pawnbrokers. The smelting company that does a strictly custom business shows absolutely and unquestionably, larger profits than any other industry in America. I know of instances where capital invested in smelting companies has been turned,live times a year, and each time the margin of the profit has been over twenty per cent of the entire amount handled. They take no risk: simply buy the raw gold and silver in the ore, at a reduced price, extract their cost of treatment, and pay the miner a residue. In'addition to our made-to-order department,-, which, will always be kept up to the pink of perfection, we'have, put in "a fine assortment of all ^ , rs * Our Boots and Shoes, Underclothing, and, in fact, all supplies���������just what's wanted in the camp.

Kiislo is asked to give a cash bonus oj $50,000 and exemption from taxation to the proposed smelter. This is a fair business proposition. That town has a debenture debt of $36,000, which plus $50,000 would be $86,000, for a place that will probably be 2,000 people with the smelter hands.- We would ��������� like to see Sandon have a smelter for a fair consideration, but even whistles may be bought, too dear, and $30,000 debt for a place of 2,000 people is no trifle. tx/e Glass Ware that is Right FOR OVKB, I'TFTV YEARS Mrs. WinilowN Soothing Hyrup 1ms been used by millions of mothers for their children when teething. if disturbed at nivht and b'oken in - your rent by n sink child. sulIeriiiK and crying wltn palnof cutting leeth.

This mischief .waa done; the social thermometer went down to zero in Nelly's neighbourhood. The women ignored her altogether. Winslow set his teeth together and registered a men- tat vow, to wring Rufus Kent's sun- baarned neck at the first opportunity. He escorted Nelly to the table aud waited on her with ostentatious deference while Mrs. Keyton-Wells glanced at him stonily and made up her mind to tell his mother when she .went home. ��������� Nelly's social ostracism did not affect tier appetite.

"You'd better go back to your friends^ That old woman with the eye-glasses is' watchin' you." ���������'' Winslow said something strong under his breath' as he went back to the "others.

In five minutes, Winslow waa groundling her on the West shore. Nelly waa sitting on a rock at the landing place. He went over and sat down ailently beside her. A full moon was rising above the dark hilla up the Bend and in the faint light the girl was wonderfully lovely.

"I can't live without you. I'll follow you wherever you go. I've loved you over since I first saw you. Nelly, won't you be my wife? Don't you lovo me?" " Well, yes. I do," confessed Nelly suddenly; and then it waa fully five minutes before Winslow gave her a chance to say anything else. . " Oh, what will your people say ?" she contrived to ask at Jast. " Won't they be in a dreadful state? Oh, it will never do for you to-marry me." " Won't it ?" said Winslow in a tone of satisfaction. "I rather think it will. Of course, my family will rampage a bit at first. I daresay fath- er'll turn me out. Don't worry over that, Nelly. I'm not afraid of work, I'm not afraid of anything except lov- j ing you."

The Symptoms and Dangers of the Deadly Epidemic Which is Driving: so SViany to Beds of Sickness���������-Effective Treatment Described. Ghill followed by fever, quick pulse, severe pains in the eyes and forehead, sJndi dull pains in the joints and mus- dles, mark the beginnings of la grippe. There is aJso hoarseness, inflamed air passages and obstinate cough, furred tongue, distress in the stomach, and (diarrhoea. The one unmistakable feature of la gTippo is tho depressed spirits and weakness and debility of the body. fWithf theory youmg, and very old, and with persons of low vitality, tho danger.s of la grippe, are very great. Pneumonia of a violent and fatal form is a frequent rosult. It is alsocluim- ed that very many cases of consumption can bo directly traced to la grippe. The after-effects of ki grippe are most often felt in tho nervous system. The extreme debility in which this disease leaves its victim is more than most nervous systems can endure���������paralysis or prostration follows. The moat successful doctors advise their patients to avoid exposure to cold or ovar-exortton, and recommend both general and local treatment.such' ag Dr. Chase's Nerve Food to strengthen and tone the system, and Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine to loosen the cough and protect the bronchial tubes and lungs from threatened complications. Any honest and conscientious doctor will tell you that this combined treat* meat, recommended, by Dr. Chase cannot be surpassed as a means of relieving* and curing la grippe, and restoring the weakened and debilitated body to its accustomed vigor. Dr. Chase's! Syirup of Liwsecd and'Turpentine is too well known a.s a cturc for bronchitis and severe chest colds to need comment. , Dr. Chase's Nerve Food f*jek.s out the weak spots in the system and builds them up. It rekindles the vitality of persons weakened by disease, worry, or over-exertion, and cannot possibly be equalled as a restorative and reconstructant to hasten recovery from ia. grippe, and to prevent .se-riouH constitutional complications.

But onions are really sweeteners of the breath, after the local effects: have passed away; as they correct stomach disorders and carry off the accumulated poisons of the system. They provide a blood purifier that all may safely; use, and do perfect work in constipation troubles. As a vermifuge the onion cannot be surpassed, and, eaten raw, will often check a violent cold in the head. One small onion, eaten every ni^t before retiring, is a well-, known doctor's prescription for numerous affections of the head, and is highly recommended for sleeplessness; it acts on the nerves in a soothing manner without the injurious effects of drugs so often applied. The heart of an onion, heated and placed in the ear, will often relieve the agony of earache, while the syrup procured from sprinkling a sliced onion with sugar and baking in an oven will often work wonders in a "croupy child."

JAPANESE KINDERGARTENS. The 31 o vein rut lla������������ Keen Mnrtrd by Ihe MI.s������!<iii;iii-1<'s. The kindergarten idea is spreading. Over in Japan it has taken firm root, having been introduced by the missionaries. !A new field of work, has been opened to Japanese women by the founding of training-schools, the graduates from them going out to establish kindergartens of their own. The children -wjao go to Japanese kindergartens look, e;iys a writer on the subject, just like the dolls with which the little folks play; except that they are much prettier and more attractive. Each child is brought by its mother or nurse, and is provided with a lunch-box carefully picked at home, The! box is made of lacquer, in three compartments, one on top of the other, each being- filled with a different kind of food, the most important of all being rice. When noon comes the children sit down at the tables with their boxca, a bowl of tea,, and hashi, or chop-sticks before them. At a signal the chopsticks are lifted dipped into the tea, and then employed i.n conveying rice bits of meat and pickles to the small mouths with wonderful rapidity. The children begin to troop in at .9 o'clock in the morning.. The kindergarten generally consists of two or three square rooms' with straw mats on the floor. Leaving their wooden shoes at the door, the little people, enter and how. very low, to their teachers before running to their, places. Japanese politeness is inculcated when a child begins to crawl, and as soon as he can stand he is taught to make a bow. Japanese children of all ages make deep obeisances when occasion demands, with gravity and unconsciousness. Although the children kneel on cushions! in their homes, in the kindergarten! the little chairs, and tables marked with squares, are used, as in this country. The raising of silkworms and the final winding of silk from their own cocoons is one of the occupa- . tions characteristic of Japanese kindergartens.

All cooks' do not understand the different effects produced by hard and soft water in cooking meat and vegetables. Peas and beans cooked in hard water containing lime or gypsum will not boil tender, because these substances harden vegetable cascine. Many vegetables, as onions, boil nearly tasteless in soft water, because all the flavor is boiled out. The addition of salt often checks this as in the case ol onions, causing the vegetables to retain the- ��������� peculiar flavoring principles, besides such nutritions matter as might be lost in ������of1 water. THE CHILDREN'S ROOM. Every house which shelters children should have, if possible, Its' children's room. ��������� In this iroom the children < should (be allowed perfect liberty. There should be an opportunity to do anything, from (making mudpies to painting in watercolors. A deep tray, lined with zinc and filled with sand, will furnish material for the mudpies, and serve to teach manyf a geography lesson as well. There should be totals for the boy who likes them, and a kitchen, and all that belongs to it, should be provided ������for the domestic child. . lA. portion of tho floor should be left bare, so that poller skates need not be prohibited. There should bc< chairs and tables to suit the sizes of the different owners of the room, and plenty of them, (so that if Jess wants to "play toa" and Jack wants to draw and Jenny wants to cut out dolls- clothes, all may be accommodated. A blackboard or two, some simple gymnasium apparatus, a desk or two, a set basin and tfaucet, and, if possible, a typewriter, will add to the, value otf the children's room. KEEPING FUNERAL FLOWERS. It is a sad fact that the floral tributes, to the dead from their living friends fado and become unsightly so soon. The following recipe for preserving flowers enables them ,to be kept almost indefinitely as a remind er, of friendly good-will. To preserve the flowers they should be fresh and firm, of pure white or delicate tints, without green leaves. If a bouquet is to.be preserved without taking the flowers apart the leaves ab lpast will have to be replaced with some other substitute, as. the process does not apply to them a3 well as to the flowers themselves. Take paraf- fino of the best quality and melt it in a tin cup set in hot water, which may be kept boiling around it so as to keep the paraffine in a liquid state for use. ��������� Into this thin and transparent mass dip the blossoms or, if found more convenient,, brush them quickly with a small brush, so as to give them a very thin coat that will cover every part of each petal, and this will form a casing! about them that will entirely exclude the air and prevent their withering. The transparency of the metal renders this coating almost or quite Invisible, so that the flowers present that natural appearance which constitutes their peculiar charm. Green' leaves, if preserved in this .way, must be coated with green wax, or with paraffine prepared with the addition of green powder paint. Chome green is best. Lighten to any tint required by adding chrome yellow. Wax leaves well made, may be used to very good advantage, or moss will answer very well for a background or foundation A USELESS REMINDER, for, the flowers. Have you ever stopped to think that if you stopped smoking you would save enough' money to buy a house and lot in the course of ten years of so. Yes, answered Mr. Meekton, but the only object I'd have in buying another house would be to have a place where I could smoke without spoiling the rugs and lace curtains. "T MONTHi-Al. hOHEl.

Giegerich, 11EC0 AVENUE. Head Office- Stores at -Nelson, B.C. - Iw The Hillside mine is to be started up again at once with a full force of men. Up to the present some $20,000 has been Fpent on this property, most of the. money was spent in development, work. The two tunnels are 700 and 450 feet in length carry good show ings of ore. For some time irregular shipments of ore have been made. A. J. Drewry visited the Sunset group this week' He says that the property i������ making a showing equal to any other property in the district. Two tunnels oT 100 and 300 feet are being lengthened. Stoping and developing is pushed more than any other work in this mine, consequently very little shipping iK done. The Whitewater mill closed down this week, on account of the smelting troubles. ; The Ups and Downs in Mining. The lot of the miner in this or any other country is no sinecure. He strikes a job today, which means while he is at it fair wages and fair hours for hard ���������work underground, compared with work in a dry, clear, out-door atmosphere, none too favorable conditions, and often under very unfavorable surroundings. He earns a little money, and but too often spends it unwisely. After a time that may be long or it may be very short, sickness, shut-downs,. lay-oil's, &c, follow, that consume every dollar he has saved, that is if he has saved any, and he stands strapped. But then he is not the only man that is often strapped in a business of the uncertainty of mining. Very often too the man who has put his last hard earned dollar and those of his friends into "mines," becomes strapped as well, so that one class cannot always look with envious eyes on the other. About all that can be done under the circumstances is for the legislature to see that the owner and manager observe every precaution for the safety of life and limb of the employes, and that the latter take proper care of their earnings to provide for "rainy days." Dr. Power was too modest to inform the R-Evruw scribe he had been sent for by Mr. Hughes last week to attend Rod. Cameron, who met with the fatal accident. The doctor, when he received the 'phone message, got on an engine here at the time, and on another waiting al the Forks when he reached there, and made the entire distance in less than half an hour.
