Ii. Mackintosh, who ar- rived at New York the other morning from England on the steamship St. Paul. " South Africa has taken a back seat. Everybody of high and low degree, from Duchesses to cab drivers, are talk- ing about the Klondike, and they read every scrap of news that is published. I expect to see a. great rush thither next spring from Europe. Lady Augusta .Fane is one of those who have the fever, and she intends to make the trip to Klondike entirely through Canada. No doubt there will be others. 1 Beard the other day of a banker who was thinking seriously of leaving a lucrative business to try his fortunes in the great gold fields," The ,Lieutenant Governor of the Northwest Provinces of British Col- umbia, while spending a month in England was besieged on all sides by capitalists and fortune hunters who were anxious to hear the details of the wonderful country. A dinner was given in his honor, and when curiosity was expressed as to what a typical Kloncliker was like the Lieutenant Governor brought out a six footer of fine proportions, who did not look tbe worse for hardship, but who in the presence of the distinguish- ed personages blushed like aschool boy. He was Frank Boucher, who made bis pile and had returned to England on a visit. HIARDSHIPS OF THE WINTER. As be sat in his apartments at the Holland House he was full of ideas about the possibilities of the great gold fields, and he spoke of some of the plans of the Dominion Government and of English capitalists. " What about the situation up there this winter:" asked a reporter of the New York Herald. " I think that the conning hardships at Dawson City have been greatly ex- aggerated," he replied, "although it is prolrtl'le that they will have atough enough time of it and nifty be on very short rations.Compared tt h Dawson City, however, the situation along the overland route to the Yukon will pro- bably be terrible, for, in spite of re- peated warnings, many went in late and they willl not get much beyond the passes. Anticipating such an em- ergency ,the Canadian government bas res i supplies c y sent as many sol plies as pos- sible -to Lake Tagish, and they will be forwarded in either direction, as the demand requires. Police have been sta- tioned along the way for prompt com- munication. " 1 suppose that there will be between five thousand and six t housand peo- ple at Dawson City this winter. It will he very difficult, of course, to get any supplies up the Yukon to relieve the miners. but l understand the North moulcris and a hese of others. American Trading and Transportation Company and other trading concerns will do their best to get goodsthrough, . at whatever cost. Supplies have been accumulated at St. Mkbael for this purpose. .I realize the difficulty of carrying out such a programme, but if there should he a crisis there will be nothing else to do. BIG EN.PLORu1T1ON COMPANY. " Few people have any eent•ept-ion of the immense territory covered be these gold hearing streams. The Yukon is only one of many rivers. It is only two hundred miles lung. while the Lewes River, which is believed to be ectually rich, is five- or six hundred mise long. and there are numerous un- explored streams which will be devel- oped as rapidly as the facilities for reachingcc:u is the e airy are furni.hed. The Canadian government. as well as English capitalists, is carefully con- sidering the opening up of the coun- try, and within a very short time some action will be taken. An English ex- ploration company, with a very large capitalization, will be formed to con- duct mining and possibly railroad op- erations. 1 cannot at present tell you who is back of it. hut I presume that Lord Dufferin will be one of the chief Arr-.00/01ANIIVSIMACiPit meat of tramways or railroads. " Another route is from. Revelstoke on the Canadian Pacific, north through Tete Jauue pass, thence to Francis Lake and to the Lewes River and the Yukon district. A11 of these latter routes, leading from Edmonton, and Revelstoke, would be 1,650 miles long, or perhaps less. As an exclusively Canadian route, if found feasible, the Edmonton line would have the prefer- ence, as supplies from eastern Canada would he saved a long haul. NO BOTUNDARY DISPUTE. "As for fears that there may be disputes between the I'nited States and Canada over the boundary, or over the mining regulations, 1 think there are no grounds for such fears. In my clan - ton there will never be any discrimin- ation against Americans. In fact. I think the Canadian government sees the advantage of relaxing rules, and I look to see a reduction in royalties when the expenses of governing the Northwest warrant it. " This will prove a boon to the entire Northwest. By amendments to the acts passed. last season by the Dominion .Parliament, the organized provinces of Asslmboia, Alberta and Saskatchewan will be clothed with almost provincial power.e. Up to the present time their govermnent was simply that of an Ex- cru tive Committee, but from now on ti.ey will become responsible, and have p;•rt.fo:ios allotted to them. F. W. G. Ruultain, who is the chairman of the Exe:'utive Committee, will become the Premier. ' A great many persons are very ig- norant in regard. to the progress of the Northwest provinces. Alberta is one of the finest ranching countries in the world, and thousands of cattle have been shipped into the mining dis- tricts. Saskatchewan is well adapted to cattle raising. but is alma noted as a wheat and timber country. A<ssinihoaa is famous as a wheat and farming dis- trict."

" Now, in regard to the construction of a railroad you may rest assured that there will be one within a very short time. The only delay now is due to the choice of a route. Three or four are under consideration. The most probable route is from Port Wrangle, on the Pacific Coast, to Stickine Riv- er, a region which is open to the Bri- tish as well as to the people of the United States under the Washington treaty. This river is navigable to Telegraph Creek, the water being from four to five feet deep. Then there is ,stretch of country 145 mitleis long to Lake Tes- lin, which presents no engineering dif- ficulties, and where a railroad can be constructed at moderate cost.

The Trafalgar, bis ship, a four mast- ed bark of 1,700 tons, said from Ba- tavia, on October 29, 1896, with a cargo of t etro.e m. for Melbourne, Australia, Fever broke out among the crew even before the ship left port, and Captain Edgar was invalided. The command devolved upon the next in authority Mr. Roberts. 13ut scarcely had the ship weighed anchor when he, too, was stricken, together with several other able bodied members of the crew. The ship carpenter next succumbed to the fever, and on the same day Officer Roberts leaped overboard in delirium. Tne entire charge of the ship there- upon devolved upon Shotton. Luckily for all concerned, he was born of a rate of sailors and had received some instruction in navigation. For a tine the winds were moderate but the fever still pursued its deadly course,. and on December 7 :the cools died. the sixth victim of the disease. Port Fairy, Aufistralia,, was the first piece sighted ou the mainland, but this wus by no mains the end of the boy captain's troui;.es. .d. few days later a fearful storm l.,roke out, and Shot - ton was of the opinion that nothing could ie time but run before it, since to attempt ta, ww•ithetend it would al- most certainly mean destruction in the wweekened stale <f the erew. All of the crew who were half fit for duty were ordered on tie:'k and the nece-sary titers were taken, to put the ship in crier t+a carry out the derision. Day anti night the young coaptain w'3s 011 the 1 ridge•. giving his orders amid the awful tempest with a coolness and calmness acute, would bare moved manya gray liairea skipper er to envy. . Finiily the wwinti moderated and the vessel eas able to resume its journey to the Victoria coast. Lavender Sachets. To make lavender sa •Mets without rubbing eft the lavender flowers from the eti:'ks take twelve stinks of laven- der with large heads, and tie them tightly together • bee up to the heads with a p.e-'e of thread and then. .tie around this the two pieces of ribbon, having first fastened their ends to- gether. Lend the seals down over the heads. and pro•eed to plait the ribbons in and out of sticks—first a row t•i one color, and then one of the the ether, giving the e£fe't of lasket e beingpeaked work.the head of auraee ..p inaide. Continue thus plaiting until the heads are quite covered and finish off with dainty bows. Twist the rib- bons „ � � • zc •+nu van tin. down treks which nt.h-s y have any lengththc u fansy—about four In •hes :n generally considered long en- ough—anti tie another little bun, h of bows at the top to match the other ends. At first the pla�.ting may seem fidcetty work. but after a little prar- ta,e it is very quickly done. and the employment le omen quite las •inating. Great +pare must be taken to ntake the sa'het s;cite neat at the top where the heat.- are s eked for a few minutes in Nati .water when they will become tno quite pEai-1e, but it is Letter to use the ;avcn+.er directly it is cut. when the etaihs will bend over quite easily.
