Stocks are mostly low everywhere, 'and must be replenished at once, while orders that bave been accumulating are now being placed in hand. An import- ant and, of course, largely satisfac- tory factor in the situation is the steady advance in wheat, which has gained six points in one week, the price now being the highest since June, 1892. Copper has made a considerable advance during the week, and prices of many primary articles are steadily rising. GENERAL. Great devastation has been caused by floods in Bosnia.

A despatch from London says:—Judge Wills at the recent assizes in York- shire, spoke very strongly against the use of the lash for any class of crim- inal offences. He declared its appli- cation had failed to prevent, or even reduce, the crimes it was introduced to punish Judge Matthews, at the Chester Assizes, said that two-thirds of the offences were against women and children, and something worse. The lash was advocated to repress these offences, but for the credit of the country he hop- ed other means than this most degrad- ing of all tortures would be found for deterring people from committing such abominates offences. Fie hoped the 'nineteenth 'century woule have some better message to send the next cen- tury than that morali discipline could malty be maintained by the lash. THE QUEEN. Her Arrival at Windsor From ltalrnoral— Her Majesty to Make a New Will. The Queen arrived at Windsor castle from Balmoral on Saturday, accompan- ied by Princess Beatrice, the children of the latter ,and the children of the Duke and Duchess of Connaught.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Saxe- Coburg-Gotha, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, and Prince and Princess Charles of Denmark, will all be guests at Windsor castle during the present week. It is reported that the Queen is about to make a new will. The one now in existence was made twenty years ago, and hes twenty-two codicils, necessitated by c:eanges in the Royal family. It is engrossed on vellum, quarto size, bound as a volume, and is secured by a patent lock. TWO GRAVES. A rich man died. They laid him down to rest Upon a fair slope, slanting toward the west, And cast about the silence of his tomb A marble mausoleum's sacred gloom. They hung within its tower, tall and white, A chime of sweet -voiced bells; and every night, Just as the red, sun sank below the swell Of that green hiill, they tolled his sol- emn' knell. Another died. They buried him in haste Within a barren field, a weedy waste, Rank nettles looked their arms, and thorns were sown Above his bed, unmarked by cross or stone. One lived on many tongues; the other ?ell Beene human memory e and both slept weld l GOOD CREAMERY BUTTER HINTS ON HOW TO PRESERVE IT AND KEEP IT FRESH was mali so as to be Acceptable to the British Con- sanaier—Ant Eiteouraginr Circular Ism. ed—The Necessity for Coll Storage. The following by Dairy Commissioner James W. Robertson, has been issued by the Department of Agriculture: I am direoted by the Minister of Agriculture to state that the sum of twenty thousand dollars was placed in the supplementary estimates by the Government and voted by Parliament at its last session "towards providing for cold. storage and carriage of Cana- dian perishable food products, and to secure recognition of the quality of such products in the markets of Great Britain in an undeteriorated condi- tion." Pert of this sum is to be used in assisting the owners of creameries to provide suitable cold storage rooms. In order to have creamery butter in a perfect state when it is delivered to the consumers in Great Britain, it should be protected in cold storage from one day after it is made. As the Gov- erne rant hes deoided to arrange for what will be practically a chain of cold storage service from th,e produc- ers in Canada to the consumers in Great Britain, it is necessary that the own- ers of the creameries, the manufactur- ers of butter, and the farmers who fur- nish the milk or cream, should all co- operate to bring about the best results. Very few creameries are equipped with sufficient or efficient cold storage ac- commodation. scommodation. WHAT IT WOULD COST. The cost of an icehouse and refriger- ator room adequate to attire the make of butter at a creamery for two or three weeks while awaiting sbipment is estimated at from four hundred ($400) tosix hundred dollars ($000) per creamery. At most creameries there as already an icehouse, and atleast a room that goes under the name of a cold storage room. The necessary alter- ations and improvements to those ex- isting buildings would cost probably from one hundred ($100) to two hun- dred dollars ($200) per creamery. Plans showing the style of constuo- tion t o he adopted for the insulation of the cold storage room and the method which is recommended for the storing of ice and the cooling of the roorn will be furnished on applieataon to the Agricultural and Dairy Commissioner, Ottawa. These require that the inside of the walls of the cold storage room shalt have two dead -air spaces, measuring to- gether not less than three inches in thickness, with an inside finish of two thicknesses of one -inch lumber, with building paper between. The dead -air spaces can be made most econoanica.ly and effectually by the use of a thick tough quality of building paper. The bottom of the outer dead -air space is to be filled with mineral wool, or saw- dust, to a depth of at least six inches, to air.prevent hre the admission ee ter or escaxit pe from the hollow space in a wall, it becomes a nue rather than a dead - air space, and is not efficient as part of A NON -CONDUCTING WALL. The hollow and:dead-air spaces on the sides of the cold storage room are to be continued on the ceiling, without in- terruption at the corners; and each thickness of Raper used on the sides is to be continued on the ceiling and under the toil thickness of lumber on the floor. The floor Ls to be at least two inches thick with two thicknesses of building paper between the top and underneath boards or planks of the flooring. The cooling is to be effected by means of cylinders to be filled with ice, or ice and salt as shown on the plan, or by some other efficient method, to the satisfaction of the Department of Agri- culture. The temperature is to be maintained under 38 degrees Fahr. con- tinuously. The butter maker must keep a record of the temperature of the cold stor- age room, taken once a day. Forms for the keeping of the record will be supplied by the Department of Agri- culture in duplicate for each month; and one copy when filled up is to be sent at the end of the month to the Agricultural and Dairy Commissioner, Ottawa. The quantity of butter to be manu- factured at the creamery from the lst of April to the 1st of December shall not be less than 15,000 lbs. AS AN ENCOURAGEMENT. To encourage the owner's of cream- eries to • rovide the cold storage ac- commodation which is so desirable, the Government will grant a bonus of fifty dollars ($50) per creamery to every creamery which provides and keeps in use a refrigerator room ac- cording to the plans and regulations, during the season of 1897; the Govern- ment will pay a bonus of twenty-five dollars ($25) per creamery to every creamery which provides and keeps in use a refrigerator room according to the plans and regulations, during the season of 1898, and the Government will pay a bonus of twenty-five dollars ($25) per creamery to every creamery which provides and keeps in use a re- frigerator room according to the plans and regulations, during the season of 1899. It will thas be seen that the owner of a creamery who provides the neces- sary refrigerator room and keeps it in use according to the regulations dur- ing the years 1897, 1898, and 1899 may receive a bonus of one hundred. dollars ($100) per creamery. The owners of the creameries which already have icehouses and cold storage rooms willlease send specifications of the same, togetilier.•with a statement of the materials . used in construction and a sketch or pian of them. Plans and specifications will then be fur - nished showing the alterations, addi- tions or improvements which are re- quired to meet the regulations of the Department of Agriculture.

An Interesting Tour In the Slums of the City by the Hugh)]. The too great zeal of a native ser- vant was the unexpected means of en- abling the writer to gratify his wish to see something of the darker side of that great city on the banks of the Hughli, where it had been ordained that he should dwell for a time. An interview with; a most charming and reasonable inspector, and the soothing effects of a drink cooled by more con- ventional means, led. to his offering to conduct us around the slums. After some delay in mustering forces we started to explore, forming a. digni- fied procession ; as advance guard. a native policeman, armed with a lantern, which we found was mush needed ; next, two inquirers into things, escorted by two inspectors, and the rear brought up by three more natives, One of the party who had been in a state of un- rest. bewailing the feet that he had not armed himself with a Large stick what unknown perils he was prepar- ed, to brave who shall say 1—was ranch comforted by the display of farce. First, then, through absolute darkness,where we blindly followed the swinging light ahead, between rows of native buts the daves of which on either side, al- most overlapped, so closely were they packed, to a miserable den where some habitual smokers were easily distin- guished, gaunt and hollow-eheeked. Our entrance seemed to cause no surprise. Perhaps a listless glance would be thrown in our direction, but what a change when a pipe was ready and handed to a smoker 1 There was some- thing terrible in the eagerness with which they inhaled the smoke. It is a tedious process; each pipe holds but a drop of opium, which, when prepared, is in a soft, sticky state. This held on the point of a wire over a flame till it swells to several times its natural size, and takes light, is pushed into tbe lit- tle clay bowl, which, with a straight stem of bamboo, forms the pipe. Three or four powerful draws exhaust the charge. THE SEASONED SMOKER, will smoke several of these pipes be- fore he falls asleep. Having seen how it was used, it was interesting to come on one of tee shops where the pre- pared opium is sold. It was the pro- perty of some very amusing and friend- ly Chinaman; possibly the friendly spir- it they showed was aroused somewhat by seeing with whom we were. Evidently the customers, of whom there was no lack, were viewed with distrust, as they were only admitted to a cage -like "enclosure in front of the counter, from which there ran up to the ceiling stout wooden bars. These people buy the pure opium at the Gov.- ernment auctions, and then prepare to retail it to their emaciated customers, to whom, xteedless to say, no credit is given. The worst feature of the hab- it is that the victim will stop at noth- ing which may enable him to get the drug. Evidently we were in the Chi- nese quarter of the town, for we were taken on through many turnings of squalid streets to where some of these lovers of roast pig were gambling. Our arrival seemed to alarm some of them— probably new hands—who thought they were doing something very wicked; whereas the habitues know that this mild form of betting—toe stal=es were very small—was winked at by the au- thorities. Their chief game was extra- ordinary for 1 he remarkable skill shown by the croupier. A number of cowries were thrown on the table, perhaps a couple of hundred or so, and partly hid. - den by an inverted sauces being placed over as many as it might cover, that one might bave as little idea of the actual number as possible. The shells were then rapidly raked away in lots of three, and the players bet whether three, two, or one would be left. When perhaps half the number had been removed in this manner the saucer is lifted to get at the rest. Strange as it may seem, the moment this is done, although there might still be a large number of cow- ries left, both around and under where the saucer had been, the hank at once stated what number would remain, and actually began to pay winners. Of course, the raking was not interrupted, and we could thus see if the bank was correct, but in the four games we watched THEY WERE NEVER WRONG. Practice must have given them a sixth sense. It was net canny. In the course of our wanderings we visited three coffee houses. These con- sisted of mere open sheds of great size, in which, on forms scattered about, the most villainous looking men of all kinds were sitting or squatting, drinking the innocent beverage from which the places get their name. The police said that one of these shops was generally a safe harbor for any criminal they might want. It would certainly have been fax from pleasant to have had to enter such a place by one's self. In the centre there were generally one or two nauteh girls dancing. Of the dances perhaps the less said the better. We passed on down a long, broad street, curiously quiet and orderly, turned sharp to the left thlrough a dark gateway and found ourselves looking through a window on a silent shape lying on a stone slab— the morgue. One could not help being struck by the orderly appearance of the streets, and remarking this to one of our guides, we learned that here, as elsewhere over India, the prestige of the ruling race, has a ggreet control- ling power. As a -fact' the chief trou- ble the police have at night, is when some sailor, maddened .with the vile liquor he has bought in some native grogshop, breaks out. We were to have a startling example of this. .We had just entered a curious sort of mus- ic hall, frequented by very rough cus- tomers, when we saw a sailor, who had evidently been }loving some sort of ciis- pute. streeenly pull out a knife and go for a man. They seemed to be ready for this sort of thing, for before he could do any serious mischief, two po- licemena were on brim and the mime that held the knife was smashed with a blow from a truncheon. Unfortunately they did not stop there, and it was a sicken- ing sight to see how the poor wretch was battered about. He had to be car- ried away by tbe police, It seemed hor- ribly brutal, but presumably soft mea- sures are not for a maddened ruffian with a big knife in his hand, and the power and will to use it - STANDARD OF THE WORLD. : COLUMBIA STEEL, TUBE MILLS.

THE EKES OF THE VORLD Are Fixed Upon South Ameri- can Nervine. Pleyond Doubt the Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age.
