SIR WILFRID’S IDEA.

He Wants a Cessation of Political Shrife and an Easy Time.

QO s arrival at Quebec Sir Wilfrid made a shert speech in reply to the address ome read by the Mayor. In the |

of it he said, after expressing his

pleasure at being home :—“ My idea is that we siiculd not continue the old-time dis- cords and hatreds, but anite for the com- mon 2ool. We must uvhold our Britannic aspirations and work for the future of Capaca, our common country. We have

also !mperial interests to safeguard, and in this cu.nection you will remember that these ties are now stronger than ever, for have we not secured a more complete com- merci«! liberty through the denunciation of the German and Belgian treaties ? This is aiwessure for which we bave unsuccese- fully asked for for years. Now England readily makesthe sacrifice of her own inter- ests for Canada. Some are uot at al! pleased at my loyalty to Eugland. 1 can ouly say that n-y heart is overflowing with gratitude to her and that I can never be aught else but be loyal to such a covuntrr. This, however, is not all, Canada must be made | to advance, and to this end her Govern- ment should be one of earnest business men, aiming at her development. ‘here Bre some who live only to make waron Governments. We work only for the couctry’s good. Our Government, itis true, bas not existed very long, but it’s time has not been lost. In fact, without wishing to injure the feelings of anyone here, 1 think it has done more in the same time than has any previous Administra- ition. While on this subject there is one watter of special iuterest to Que- becers on which I should like to speak to you. It is that of the fast line of trans- Atlantic steamers. I think thatI am ina position to assure you that is now a cer- tainty, and that inside of two years you wil] +ee vessels equal in speed to any mercbeantmen now afloat enter the har- bour of Quebec. In equipment, etc., too, they will be the best that can be had. Some parties have spread the report that the coctract would never be carried out. 1 do rot positively assure you that the tast li-e is & “fait accompli,” but believe thet x)! will yet be well asiezgards it, It is iru: that the Messrs. P-+terson have encottitered unusual difficulties, but I be- Heve that they will disappear. Then too, the gud fields of British Culumbia are now attracting the greatest notice on the other side, and inducing immigration. In short, Cane has lately come more promiuently forwaid than ever, and has taken a_ place amcpy the vations of the world. Let me assure you, too, that her interests will never be allowed to suffer by conflict with those of England. What we now need is the cc-vperation of all, the cessation of strife.

—1!t seems that no one need envy the lot of the Klondyker, even though he bids fair to become rich in yellow metal. Mr. Laruc, who bas just returned from that district writesto a New York paper that the women who propose to go to the gold tie'd» must be either ignorant or insane. The j mrney, he says is something awful. Tp summer the country is boggy where not rocky and the traveller is either climbing steep rocks or is walkiug up to the knees in water. In winter the climate is fear- fally cold, and the snowdrifts are exceed-- ingly dangerous. Evidently getting tothe Klondyke is no holiday, but, on the contrary, a trying and risky experience. ee

A Wichita man has invented an appli- ance which he says is to be attached to brooms used in hospitals. It is a tank to hold disinfectants, and is arranged so that the stroke of the broom feeds the liquid to

. ° ° . | the straws, distributing it regularly as the |

broom is drawn over the floor.

Women are apparently asserting them- selves in India. A young lady named Cohen, professing the Hebrew faith, has announced her intention to apply to the Chief Justice of Bengal for bis permission to be articled, and subsequently admitted as gn attorney ofthe High Court. Miss Coben is a young lady of very high iutel- lectual talents. She passed the M. A. examination in §Pbilosophy Jast year, and has agiin applied for permission to appear at the next M. A. examination in English. Her main object in selecting the Law ss her profession is, she is said to avow, to enable purdah nashin ladies to have direct commuvpivation with their legal advisers.

Aug. 30.—Ot all the wen beard from on the Skagway trail, and a very largenum ber ofletters were received today, only three, and they had lighter outfits than most of the pares, have got their goods through tie lake and are ready to sail down the river to Kiondyke.

| Skagway or are ignung their way across | with very poor chances ¢ f success in most a

icases. Here is an extract from a letter

which sizes up the situation. “Trails over which many are now pack-

jing on foot and on horses are extremely difficult and danyerous to man and beast;

huge and sieep rocks to Climb over, and | weather is wet deep mud to

struggle through; paths so narrow, border- ing iu places precipitous heights where a slip certain death. Numerous horses and mules have already been lost.

A few days 8go a8 many as eleven animals perished, either in falling over, or through other accidents in crossing the White Pass

in one day alone. The loss of a pack auimal invariably means to the man of | slender capital, the abandonment of the

; journey. Few seem to be able to realize | the effect of the rigorous Alaskan winter }uponeven men of hardy coustitutions. Those who intend wintering in Skagway must not forge: that it will be a hard time especially in tents with the temperature at 60 degrees the freezing point. W inter conimences sbortly and the snow falls toa depth of three or four feet. With such a large population the unsanitary state will become horribly bad. Fresh water in the sreek will become polluted and diseased. Already numbers are returning sadder but wiser, and more will be coming as winter approaches. Still many are going over to Skagway, and the cry ia heard, “More victims.”

Al. the other letters are disheartening, tell a like story. The British Yukon Com- pany say their company can do no more work on thetrai! until they are reimbursed, but they will commence work this winter on their railwsy, and will have part of it cow pleted by the spring. Captain Moore, who agitated for the White Pass before the rues commenced, also came down. He said the trail was good beiore the rush of horses and men cut it, butit is hard to understand how the immense boulders “grew up’ ina day. Inthe Dyea Pass all the menare making slow progress they not being impeded by the rush.

There are men who imagine that out-door work is a sovereign cure for all ills. They work like slaves at their business, take insuffi- cient time to rest and sleep, and abuse and neglect their health in every way. Then, when they break down, they keep on just

as before, except , that in addition to , their usual work, “. they go out every - day and spade a little in their gar- dens, or try to imitate Mr. Glad- m Stone by cutting down tree or ‘ Chopping tae fam-

ily fire-wood.

A more ridiculous method of curing a man who is suffering from nervous exhaus- tion and is threatened with nervous pros- tration could not be well conceived. A man who has overworked does not need more work, but less work and more rest. The man who has lost his appetite needs some- thing to restore it. The man whose nerves are shattered needs something to tone and strengthen them. Get the nerves right and sound, and refreshing sleep will follow. A man who sleeps well and eats well, and digests and assimilates his food will not remain ill.

In cases of this kind Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery goes to bed rock —to first causes. It creates a hearty appetite; it makes the digestion and assimilation perfect; it invigorates the liver; it purifies the blood and fills it with the life-giving elements of the food. It builds up new flesh, new muscle and new nerve fibres. It is an unfailiny cure for nervous exhaustion and nervous prostration, and the best of all medicines i overworked men and wo- men. An honest druggist won’t urge an inferior substitute upon you, thereby in- sulting your intelligence.

It is a dealer’s business to sell you what you ask for—not what he prefers for selfish profit’s sake to sell.

Paris, Aug. 30.—The Gaulois publishes details of the signing of the treaty between | France and Ruesia, which it declares to | be a formal offensive and defensive aggre- ment. The treaty, the papers says, was concluded in the empsror’s study in the Alexandria Palace, on Wednesday last. President Faure, the Czer, the French for: eign ministerand Count Mouravieff, tie foreign minister,were present. The Rust ian instrument had been finished, but it was decided to add a clause, which would

unmistakably insure the peace of the wok. Presideat Favre wrote this clause and the Czar presented the pen with which the ' signatures had been affixed to President Faure as a souvenir.

A VORACIOUS PLANT.

BY A BANKER,

ably exists, and which the great botanist Lionceus called the miracle ot nature, the Venus’ Fiy trap (Dionwa muscipula), ap- pears to be a sort of link between the an- imal and the vegetable world. In appear- ance it is not very different to other plants, but instead of deriving its sustaining nue | triment solely from eaita and air, it jarge!y | supplements those sources of plaat food Ly

} } ; The most wonderful plant which prob

devourivg considerable numbers of small insects, fles, &c. ;and it deprived of this nitrogenous fuod Lhe plant very soon gets out of condition, and may perhaps be starved to death. The apparatus by which the small flies are captured is fur- | strangely spiked hinged | leaves of the plant, which are studded | with a pumber of sharp spines, which, |

Lune

wheo @ fly alights upon the armoured | leaf, immediately commence to close upon it, the laace points puncthring the strag— | gling in=ect, and slowly aud surely im- |

prisoning it within a spiked chamber of | death, as effectively as that terrible, and | somewhat Simiar, instrument of torture of | he Ioquisition termed the * Iron Maiden.” Tie vcad insect being pow enclosed in the tightly compressed lesf, a fluid possessing ! similar properues lo tuose of the gastric | fluid of wntmals 1s exuded, and the ordinary process of digestion commences to take | place, the indigestible remains of the ine, sect being eventually discarded, after the | whole of the nutritive portions have been |

absorbed, the leaf then opening and waiting iu readiness for further prey. An anaiagous plant, the common Sun-

dew of our marshes (Drosera rotundifolia), | is another spec:men Of the carnivorous : plants, and is furnished with a somewhat | similar apparatus to that of the Veous’! fly-trap ; the spines of the leaf, bowever, are less powertul the plani therefore preys |

which is essential to its healthy growth. ! A plant fairly common in Portugal, the Drosophy!lum, is so expert in capturivg fl es that it is stated that it is used in that country as a flycatcher.

Another variety of the carnivorous plants, which perhaps ie equally extraor- dinary as those we have been cousidering, is the Pitcher plaut of the tropics (Cephalotus follicularis) . This wonderful example of plant life, however, adopts au altogether different mode of capturivg its prey, the flower, a marvellous organictm io the ehape of a jug with a close fitting lid, instead of the leaf, being the scene of the shambles into which the unsuspecting victims heedlessly enter, never io emerge.

Attracted by a luscious and alluring sweetness, and anticipating a rich and honeyed repast, the incautious — tly aligtts on the brim of the pitcuer, and commences to regale itself on the fragrant and delicious juices, descending lower and lower into tne enticing and teductive chamber, until, satiated to repletion with the pleasurable joys, it attempts to regain the freeair. But it is too late; the lid has closed tightiy down, and the poor dissolute is entombed alive in a lethal death chamber, to be slowly devoured by the alluring destroyer.

Fit emblem, a'l this, of the life of many of us here below! Attracted by the specious and attractive seduc'ions of sinful pleasures and tempted out of the right way by the fascinations and enchantruents of that which we know to be wrong, we com- mence to sip the forbidden delights, and to indulge in acte and pursuits which we kuow to be displeasing to our Maker, until satiated with the uneatisfying pleasures which we feel wecannot much longer enjoy, we perhaps begin seriously to consider our position, and to look forward with trepidation tothe fast approaching end. But, as a tree falls so must it lie; as amen lives so must he die! And than the poor voluptuary or the heedless pursuer of vain pleasure, instead of being borne in triumph by angele to sc:ues of enraptured delight, which, if he will, are his inheritance in virtue of the sacrifice made for him by the Redeemer, is dropped into a weird and hideous perdition, and the lid is closed upon him for ever !

THE SPIR!T OF THE ETERNAT DON’T

It may belong to one of the great dual forces that rule life—belong, in otner words, to the negative as distinguished from the positive torces, and be therefore rightly accounted for in the general order- ing of the aniverse. And vet, when all is said and done, it must certainly be con- feseed that few things are capable ef making life so unpleasant and so disastrous as this spirit, once rampant among our friends.

Some pereons are altogether controlled both in thought and action by it. They etand as eternal protests against whatever is or whatever is about to be. They cootribute nothing and cppose all things. They set up their petty prejudice or personal prediliection, and expect to dam with it the incoming currents of renewing life.

“What is your pame?” acked someone of asmall boy who was always being nagged. “Chariy Don’t,” he answered, having in his cheerful imperturbability mistaken the invariable accompaniment to his Christian name.

But few of us have the imperturhability of this chiid under tbe dont’s of our fam- ilies or our friends. Some of us have our spontareity crushed. Some of us grow rebellious and indignant, and are in this way forced into opposite ex:remes, getting off owr balance on the other side. And most of us grow self-conscivus, and have periods in which we question every onecf our best impulses, weighing them against our motives.

The development of many a young person sensitive to impresgions is retarded for years by the thoughtless don’tof an elder whose opinions they have been taught to respect. For many of the dont’s

times one morning to a grown-np daught~ er that she detected berselfin it at last and laughed. “Don’t pay avy attention to me,” she said at last. “I oniy say it because | always Lave eaid it.” Circumstances present us with & many impediments, one often woaders why our fellow men should want to provide us with so many more —why they should perpet— ually say, for instance, “Oh, don’t do that!” when we happen to make a corteous remark to some one they do not know, or when we have a hospitable instinct,ora charitable impulse they do not onthe in- stant+hare. For the curious part of it is this: when the rewards of our best im- pulses (those opposed by them) are reaped, they settle compiacently down to take a smiling share in them. How prondly parents bask in the sunshine of a child’s euccess whose new departure they once thwarted with all their streegth aad authority! And the reverae of this 1s true — how we are condemned for lusing that which the dont’s of avotber have driven out of us! Some law of right is at work with us, and tbe penalty al) pay for har- ing interfered with anotner’s development is that we live tomourn the Jess of that which we have surpressed. We repulse with a dont the demonstration of our children and of those who are nearest to us, and we Jive to perish of hungar for

The Land Golden Nuggeis | Pee ge tS ee ,

JOSEPH LADUB, size Gra Recons, wives tse hom

'Ilis book reads like “ The Arabian Nights” BUT Joseph | Ladue KNOWS whereof he writes. He was the first man on ‘the spot when the first gold was discovere: last August. 1896, | He located one rich claim, and immediately purchased twelve ‘others at a low price before their value was known. He has. |refused $100,000 for any ONE of these claims, as they are rich with virgin gold nuggets beyond the dreams of avarice, | Joseph Ladue then

| Established Dawson City,

YKE!

or

at the mceuth of the Klondyke and Yukon Rivers, by erecting the first house in the region in September, one month after the gold was first discovered. He bought 178 acres from the government on the city site where his town lots, 150x50, ae now selling for $5,000 each.

Mr. Ladue was fortunate enough to be successful in his trading post investments to have on hand ample capital to carry out his plans, and there is no man living who is better posted on Alaska and the great North West Territories than Mr. Joseph Ladue. He has just returned from that country to his old home in Schuyler Falls, N. Y., where he passd a large portion of his boyhood and eurly manhood. Mr. Ladue left his home nearly twenty years ago to seek his tortune in the West, going first to the Black Hills, where he was successful in gold mining, thence to Arizona and the Pacific Coast, and finally located in Alaska and the North West, where he has covered almost the eutire country since 1882. Mr. Ladue is a typical pioneer; strong, hardy ana resoluve—a man of iron as one must‘needs to be to go through the hardships he has. and come out with a constitution unbroken and unimpaired at the age of about forty-three. Mr. Ladue has not only worked

an abundance of the world’s goods far beyond the dreams of men, but he has evidently all his time been closely observing the conditions of that strange country—the Yukon Valley— which has so suddenly become one of the great centres upon which human interest throughout the world is focussed.

When the wonderful stories began to come down trom the Yukon country it was naturally concluded that it was at least half exaggeration. That any such amount o1 gold could be taken in so short a time from a country like that under the most unfavorable conditions was held to be incredible. But when the great bags of virgin gold began to be poured out upon mint counters in San Francisco under the eyes of the whole world (fur modern journatism does this, annihilating time and space), people began to wonder, and the wonder grew day by day as the resi facts were disclosed, and now people who are well informed as té the facts declare that half the truth has not been told of the golden treasures of the Yukoa Valley.

As we have already said, there is no man alive to day who knows more about this wonderful country than does Mr. Ladue. What makes his talk of it specially interesting aud reliable is the fact that his knowledge of it is practical. It has not been gained from hearsay nor from desolutory visits made now and then at certain favorable seasons of the year, but from steady living there through the long summer days and the long winter nights year in and year out for 15 years, where he now owns the best min ng claims on the Klondyke and its tributavies.

In presenting his book to the public we do so knowing that it is by an authority on the subject of which he writes. His first work entitled

: “KLONDYKE NUGGETS ”

is a brief description of the new gold regions, and anyone desiring authentic information should not fail to avail them-

selves of our NOMINAL OFFER,

' which places the facts in the possession of our customers,

| REMEMBER, that our office is the sole distributing point

| for this locality, having closed exclusive arrangements with

Mr. Ladue’s publishers.
