The shibboleth of the British democ-
racy, why should we fight for foreign
ers?" shows a fine disregard for two
vital facts: the first being the actual
and unusually hostile attitude of other
nations; more especially Of France; the
second being that any European war
undertaken by England would probably
be one of selfdefense, says the Fort
nightly Review. The food supply of
England depends upon its commerce
and its commerce is closely linked with
political status.
Mr.. NJ. G. Mulhall. speaking of Eng
land, says: Fifty years ago we had
only one-third Of the carrying trade
on the high seas: today We have much
more than one-half" He calculates
the carrying power Of British ships for
1892 at 27.72O,0O0 tons, and that of all
the nations unitedly 21,120.000 tons.
With the destruction Of the
fleet the British flag would disap-
pear from the high seas. Considering
therefore. that England has more than
| so per cent OF the carrying trade, 1t Is
needless to point out how far English
prosperity depends upon that trade. OF
how much 1t would diminish in conse'
| auence OF war destructive OF it. Il
defeat would mean ruin, to accept thu
friendship Of Italy may be part o

Mill Az "A Food,

Milk is a substitute that is complex
in it's composition. says Prof Robertson
of Toronto. All of the ingredients, ex-
cept the fat, are in solution; the fat is
in suspension, and when the milk
stands for any length of time these
little globules Of fat rise to the surface
and form what is known as cream.
A drop of milk contains 100000 glob-
ules of fat. Food, to be healthy, and
nutritious, must have the correct pro-
portions of flesh forming and heat-pro-
ducing material. Good nature, whole
someness, self mastery, depend on the
quality of food We eat. Raise boy on
bread and milk rather than on potatoes
and bacon. Bread and milk is cheaper
and much better food. 1t is mistaken
idea that a man who works hard must
eat rich food. Three-quarters of a
pound of beef, costing 10 cents, one
quart of milk, costing cents, and five
ounces of wheat, costing three-quarters
of a cent. are equal in nourishing ma
terial. One pound of cheese is equal to
two and half pounds of beef. There is
no better diet to work hard on than
| cheese and potatoes, and there is nc
| diet more digestible. Wheat bread Is
not a well-balanced food, but bread well
buttered Is very nutritious. Skim milk
and oatmeal are valuable foods.

We have been keeping poultry for
eight years. During that time we have
had the Wyandottes, Plymouth Rock
Brown Leghorns, Langshans and Black
Spanish. Fer general purposes the
Wyandottes are best, for laying, the
Red Caps. I feed principally corn,
wheat and oats. In disposing Of our
eggs we have always sold to a peddler
who pays from S to Is cents per dozen.
We obtain NEST OF our eggs during the
winter. We have lost good many
birds from diseases and some from
prowling animals. When we first began
raising broods we had good success but
the longer we keep in the business the
poorer success we have. We have also
tried dpctoring fowls and have used
from twenty to thirty remedies, but
none of them proved of any value.

tie and Undertaken Sherman, left for
Camp Creek yesterday afternoon to
make an investigation and take charge
OF the remains. All that could be
learned of the accident was contained
in a telegram received by the coroner
and Mr.. Miles yesterday morning The
telegram was dated at Camp Creek on
the 18th and sent from Melrose the
next morning and reads as follows:
Mike Lyon died at o'clock this
evening from the effects of the accident
when he was crushed in the head by

at which the accident occurred, was in

of the fatality but received no further
particulars than those contained in the

however, IL is concluded that Lyon
must have been caught by a defending
cage while at one Of the stations The
Columbia is one of the mines of the

Lyon is a married woman and until
few months ago lived in West Quartz

family to Camp Creek. He leaves a
