Pacific station by Admiral Beardsley.
Because many of the ships naturally

as many vessels available for his drills
as will Admiral Bunce. on the Atlantic

And ina rocn1.
Yet, through life's hours Of stress and
storm,
When griefs befell,
Love kept our small home corner warm,
And all was well.

But let that pass;
Perhaps we view the dual life
Through roseate glass:
Even if the prospect be not bright,
We hold it true
The heaviest burdens may grow light
When shared by t.-o.

Emblazoned fair,

But, happy in their even flow,
The years glide by.

The New Fashions Women Are Expected
to Wear This Spring.

Large bustles.
Small, tight fitting sleeves
Hip pads in various sizes.
High heels.
Collars of enormous size.
Hats worn well over the forehead.
Marie Antoinette curls dangling from
the back of the coiffure.

Canadian Pacific Tea Train Went Into
the River.

Canadian Pacific Tea Train Went Into
the River.
Vancouver, B. G., July THE first
fatality as result Of the high water
in the Fraser river, occurred last night,
about ii o'clock, when a portion Of
Canadian Pacific freight train, laden
with tea, went into the river near
Agassiz, and Edward Dearden, brake
man, was killed.
It seems that the water had washed
away the bank, leaving the rails and
ties in place. The engineer in the
dark did not notice this, and ran into
the fatal spot, with the result that the
enigne and eight cars went into the
river. Engineer Carey and Fireman
Coughlin jumped and escaped with
few minor injuries, but Brakeman
Dearden was never seen again, and is
probably buried beneath the wreckage
in the river.
Reports from Fraser river points
state that the river is steadily rising.
At Chilliwack considerable damage has
been done to crops on low lands, and
the steamer Gladys has been busily en-
gagged for the past few days in running
cattle and settlers effects to high
ground.
Nicemen island is also suffering from
high water, and all down the river on
both sides, wherever the low levels are
not fully protected by high dikes, they
are under water.
The Mission City townsite will also
be under water in many parts if the
hot weather continues. At New
Westminster the water at high tide is
two feet two inches below the mark
made during the floods Of 1894.
