He had passed an uncomfortable night at the Broad- way Central Hotel, and it was prob- ably feared that there was a pos- sibility of his tying the jury up by being sick after the taking of evidence was begun.

It. track about three-quarters of it. niilo from Hyde J.'tu•k, when a large area of ground, several blocks itt extent and about sixty feet in height, gave way and buried the north track. '1'o provide for such a contingency, the workmen, when operating in the cut where the slide happened, dug away the earth from the embankment, for many yards. This. pre- vented the whole line from being buried. Fortunately there were no trains or workmen in the cut when the accident occurred, The biggest steam shovel was sent to the scone at once, but it was found that its operations would be too slow and dynamite was brought into 118e.

PPM And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of '73" Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February 11th, 1819, com- ing from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and heeerno known as a woman of an alert and investigating mind an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature, In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was "narked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their OWT1 home medicines from roots and herbs, natur'e's own remedies -calling in a physician only in specially urgent eaten. By tradition and experience many of thein gained a wonderful knowledgetof the curative properties of tho a num roof .:lid heriu. their mother, combined forces to eestore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gros.. of bottles. Thoth came tho question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. I'inkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. Tho wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self -advertising, for whoever used it re- commended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertCaing and from that time the growth and success of the enter- prise were assnred, until to -day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become household words every- where, and man tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia E. Piukham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward ycars'ago, but not, till she had provided meant for continu-' ing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful experi- ence she was ever methodical in her work and sho was always caeful to pre- serve a record of evct'y case that came to ]ler attention. The ease of every Sick woman who applied to her for advice-- and there were thousands -received careful stauly and the details, including symptotne, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to -day these records, together with hundreds or thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and repre- sent a vast collaboration of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. Mrs. 1'itikham tu'ik a great interest in the study of routs and herbs, their char- acteriatics and power over disease. She maintained that just an nature BO bounti- fully provides itt the harvest -fields and orehards vegetable foods of all kinds ; so, if we but take the, pains to find there, in the roots and herbs of the field there are rwnediias e::prctisly designed to cure the varlous ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effee- tive medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female rex, and Ls'rlia E. Pinklrain's friends and neighbors *learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All titin so fru' wan done freely, without money and without prico as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham fancily, as this elms of busii►ess Buffered most from fearful dq: pression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to bo found. ,At this point Lydia E. Pinlcham's Vegetable Compound was 'nude known to the world. • The three sons and the daughter, with CRAiN MEWS CHALLENGE They Dare llaniteba Government to Amend E:cchango Charier. • 1\'land,es.

The result of the British Colmnbia election is a decided victory for the Conservatives, led by Premier Mc- Bride, The returns so far as collected indicate the election of 26 Conserva- tives, 15 Liberals and 2 Socialists. the latter representing the mining con- stituencies of Naniarno and Grand Forks, The Socialist and Labor vote appears to have been used to defeat the Liberal cat►didtttes in the cities and principal towns by dividing the radical forces, The result is that the parties aro almost arrayed against eltclr other on the basis of town versus country. The Conservatives hold the five Van- couver seats they had in the last House, and carried the four Liberal seats in Victoria, Other Conserva- tive urban seats are New Westtninis• ter, Ferule and Cranbrook, The only two important towns ranging them- selves on the Liberal side are Nelson and Rossland, The hast mentioned le is rhe constituency of J. A. Macdonald, Opposition leader, The most __p{lotur- esque figure in the contest, \\', W. B. McInnes, who ran in Vancouyer as Mr.Macdunald's lieutenant, is among the vanquished. The Conservatives lost two of their Ministers, Mr. Cotton, an old Parlia- mentary hand, who was President of the Council and Mr, Manson, Minister of Education, AN EXTRAORDINARY EVENT OUR LOSS IS YOUR GAIN A matchless array of new up-to-date merchan- dise, bought for the present season, is offered with- out restriction in a sweeping clearing sale, Prices are slaughtered.

From an electric locomotive drawing hun- dreds of tons of freight to a fountain playing on n dining table la a far cry, and yet the same myeteriouo agency is responsible for both. It is a curious' fact that with all of Its utilization little or nothing Is known of the source or nature of electricity. Theories of every oharacter have been advanced, but none of them has definitely solved the pro- blem We knew how to Inako electricity and how to control It, but Its origin Is as elusive the mystery of life. In tttla practical age, however, the lack of this knowledge does not Rive any concern.

My seat in the Abbey was an excellent one for seeing and hearing everything. I was in the Ambassadors' tribune, directly behind Mr. Stevenson and before tP • allthesecretaries ttacl os of �m anda bassies and legations. The Queen was directly in front of and below me, where re I could see much of her expression. Whilst engaged in prayer she raised her countenance directly towards our box, and a sweeter face no Queen need have. When she first entered she was consid- erably flurried, but became calmer 'tf- ter half an hour's performance, as I call it. The whole ceremony occupied about four hours and a half, during which time she retired from public gaze only twice, and each time only for a minute. She got through the affair admirably and without much apparent fatigue. She seems to have excellent sense, and keeps constantly inquiring. like a sensible wo- man, what she is to do next, rather than push on and bungle— When old Lord Rolle was doing hom- age, being very infirm he fell after he ascended the throne. and rolled clown three steps to the bottom of tine Abbey floor,' Everybody hilt the Queen made an exelemetion of enneern; ale started from the throne ns if to catch him, and reenlleetine, her (lignite, resented hera(elf instantly, whieli natural and graceful mnv(rsnent in h you),", girl, though Omen, drew down thunders of ap• p?nus)+ from tete sneetetora. --F"m "Jelin Ven 1?nren in'Enlrland" in the December (Christmas) Scribner. LONDON I1AS BRIGHT DAYS. Not Always Foggy, as VIsitors Are In- clined to Believe. It is the conviction of many American tourists in London that there is fog in that, metropolis 305 clays in every year with the exception of leap year, when there is fog on 3(10 doys. This exaggerated notion of London fogs is quite refilled by an official pub- lieution of tho English government, which gives a compilation of the wea- ther conditions taken twice a day and which :.how•s the following rc'oult, for last year: Days. Overcast (part fog) ... ... ... ... 1.15 Fog (dense) .. .. .. .. .. .. .... 04 Clear sky ...... ... ... .. ... ... 00 Snow ..... ... .. . . . ...... .... 10 IIail... ... ... ... ... ....... ... 5 Thunderstorm ..... ... ... ... ... 3 Cale ... ... .. ... . . .... 2 Variable Total .305 London had last year 1,400 hours of sunshine out of 5,170 hours between the rising and the setting of the sun, In other words, about three-quarters of the tiine taken by observations was over- cast mid the balance was clear. London owes its fogs to a triple com- bination of circumstances—westerly or southwesterly winds 325 out, of 365 days of the year, salt marshes through much of the territory over which tho wester- ly or southwesterly winds blow and an almost universal use of soft coal. Last year there were more days of sunlight in London that there had been on an evarage for twenty years before. v 66 Ask for tho i+urplo Packago." "RELIANCE" HAR/NG POWDER Mukco Food Healthful.

TILTO N, Bournville, Where the Workers Live in a Wooded Park, During the past eleven years Bourn- ville village has arisen and to -day it shel- ters a community of about 3,000, It cov- ers an area of more than 500 acres, near- ly the whole of which was a free gift by Mr. George Cadbury, The village, which stands auia gardens and park lands, com- prises dwellings which are not be rand the resources of the artisan, and also a fair proportion of (louses of the villa type. No two houses are alike. The aver- age garden space allowed to each house is 000 square yards; and that most of the occupiers take a pride in their gar- dens is abundantly evident. The roads are 42 feet wide and are plaited with trees. The houses are set back at least 20 feet front the roods, About 1,200 out of the 4,000 employees in Messrs. Cad- bury's factory reside in 1ieurnvillo. Of the remaining residents, about 40 per cent, work in Birmingham, Mr, George Cadbury explained that out of their 4,- 000 work people only seven had died for the last four years, a death rate of loss than twot•Six r 1,000. bundled or 700 girls hod learned to swim in a largo bath provided for them at the works.

Mr. Cnrbury urged' that if we were to maintain our position as nn imperial race the prob- lem of overcrowding in unsanitary sur- roundings in our great cities must be faced, At Bournville village the (lentil rate was 7.5, whereas in the working class quarters of Birmingham the. rate was three tines as high. One of the prin' eiples which had been put into prnctiee at Bournville was that every child should be within five minutes walk of n play- ground.
