BRITISH COLUMBIA.
In a General Way 1t May BE Called

In a General Way 1t May BE Called
Beautiful wilderness.
Speaking generally, the province of
British Columbia may be called beau
tiful wilderness. There are on the coast
the thriving cities of Vancouver (by the
way, Vancouveris ON the mainland) and
Westminster. Gold mining is being de-
veloped in the Kootenay district, the
coal of Nanaimo is extensively worked,
and there is farming along the marshy
banks of the Lower Fraser. Canneries
and sawmills are dotted here and there
along the river bank; yet, with all this.
so high and rugged are the mountains,
so dense the forests and so difficult the
task of making roads or railways, that
probably a considerable portion of this
beautiful province will long remain COW
cred with giant red woods, frs and
cedars and inhabited only by the wolf,
hear and eagle.
The man who is not forced to depend
ON each years crop for existence, and is
fond of the open air or sport, will prob
ably find in British Columbia a con-
genial occupation in ranching or trying
to clear forest farm, but the writer
would not recommend it as a field for
general agricultural emigration, when
man has very small means and only his
right arm to depend on, as it generally
takes four years or more to clear enough
land to keep three or four cattle, while
if you grow grain you cannot get it to
the market from the bush farm. For
the trout fisher. rife shot or artist. it is
an earthly paradise" and for such a
man there is a subtle spell about this

TOBACCO INSOMNIA.
A Distressing Result of Indiscretion in
Smoking.

A Distressing Result OF 1ndfscretion In
Smoking.
Many brain-workers suffer from in
ability to sleep. This is frequently met
with among those VINO work late at
night. The sufferers complain that
they feel most lively just when the time
for retiring has come, and that long
period of restlCssEPsS preCedes trou-
bled slumber. from winch the slightest
noise awalles them. This IS very often
caused almost entirely by an oyer-in-
diligence in tobacco. They smoke just
before going TO bed, ignorant OF the
fact that not only may tobacco pre-
vent sleep temporarily, but may render
it less deep, and consequently less re-
freshing. \ grave responsibility at
taches to those who lightly seek to re-
Iieve symptom which is really warn
ing by recourse to a dangerous pallia-
tive. The inability to sleep is often
merely the outcome of an unnatural
mode of life, and if this be corrected
the disability disappears of itself.
Men who work late are commonly
addicted to the tobacco habit. To them
tobacco is not a relaxation after days
work, but q nerve stimulant which en-
ables them to accomplish tasks which
would otherwise be difficult of accom-
pIishment. When the mouth becomes
dry, alcohol in some form or other is
resorted to, as a flip to enable the
smoker to tolerate still another cigar
or two. Under these circumstances, to-
baCco acts as a cerebral irrtant, and
jnterferes with the vasomOtor centers
of the brain to such an extent that the
vessels are unable to adjust themselves
forthwith to the condition required for
healthy and untroubled sleep. Discre-
ton in tobacco use would save many
from this distressing condition Of
chronic insomnia. Smoking early in
the day should be discountenanced, and
it is equally undesirable within am hour
or so of retiring to rest. The best rem
edy for the tobacco habit, short of total
abstention, is TO take a short walk in
the open air after the ,ast pipe.-N. Y.

A Day for a Spring Poe.

Yesterday was a spring day. A dill
igent search was made to find a spring
poet. Some were found to be sick abed
with the grip. Others had gone to tn
southern land for their health.
One of the spring poets-one or more
was wanted for these purposes. 1.
was first to be required of him that he
ride up and down Water street for an
hour, to get a good idea of the dust
that was in the air, driven by the
breeze. Then he or she, was to have
the wind tear the hat from the head
(as was the case in a number of in
stances during the day., and chase thu
hat through the streets several times.
Then the poet was to walk over the
bridge and have the hat blown into the
river for keeps. A l0-mile drive into
the country in the three-foot mire was
the next on the programme, after which
the writer of spring poems waste gaze
for fifteen minutes at the leaden, sulky
sky, and then write a pretty spring
poem inside of an hour, or be forever
forbidden to write any more.

LEASE OF LAND OFFERED
For Erection Of 4 Shoe Facsor-Aluch
Enterprise Shown.

The interest in the location in this
city of shoe factory has taken firm
hold of the people, and there is lively
anticipation of the developments in this
direction.
The latest move shown toward en-
couraging the coming of a factory
here, is the offer of a lease of land for
period of five or ten years, for the
purpose of building a shoe factory.
The land is located in a most desirable
section of the city for the factory, with
spring water supply and ample accom-
modations for furnishing the boilers
with water The land is offered by one
of our prominent citizens in the hope
of encouraging what seems to be a
very promising BOOM
There have as yet been no very large
meetings held, but among the mer-
chants along the street. and the rep
resentative capitalists, there is a de-
cidedly strong feeling in favor of Civ
ing the movement every chance to
proceed.
The board of trade. through Presi-
dent Hichborn, has been more than
|active in the work, and the visit of the
shoe manufacturer which has been
daily expected promises to be the be-
ginning Of new industry to the many
now located here

They're Playing Ball.

The national game, the "only" base
ball. has fastened its grip on the
youthful mind and body, just as later,
we trust, it will fasten upon the en-
thusiasm of the older population, whose
minds are still keen, and whose love of
sport is still young, but whose bones
and sinews have become no longer fit
for jumping about on the ball field.
Down opposite the State House,
where the first warm sunshine is be-
ginning to dry off the earth, the shouts
of the ball tosser is heard on the air,
with the whack Of the ball as it meets
the bat of the sturdy youth. All of the
amateur mines in the city have first
class prospects of a lively spring. and
honors will be very much divided.
But, from the youngest to the oldest
of the youth whose life is as yet un-
harassed by the confinement which
the work "a day life brings, they are at
it for keeps, and for the most of them
they would rather play ball than eat.
From now until the fall comes, the best
pitcher is the ideal and envied of all
the base ball boys.
The first regular game of the season
took place, yesterday, the Fitzgerald
nine beat Snyders team in a walk
over by score of 2s to s. The features
of the game were the hard batting of
the vctors.

hurricane. The clouds were dark, and
the day was cold, but the digging went
on just the same. Passers-by observed
the piles of dirt which were soon made.
and the residents of that section of the
city took special delight in the pros
pect of a brick schoolhouse in their
midst, with a tower and a bell.
1t is matter of pride, and, they say
the building will be one to be proud of
convenient and comfortable in every
respect.
The school building will be of the
ordinary kind of bricks, and. as far as
can be learned, will be a very neat
structure, outside and in; with no great
amount of fancy decorations. First. of
course. comes the struggle with the
stone foundations, after which the
building will rapidly grow; and with
it's four rooms two of the primary and
two of the grammar grade, dissemin-

live around about it.

abundance of flowers this Easter at
very reasonable prices, except for pinlls,
which have already doubled in price in
the large markets owing to an un-
usual scarcity. Mr.. Partridge has.
however, engaged in advance large
quantity, so he can supply them at less
than Boston prices to his retail GUS
toners. next Saturday. Lovely Easter
lilies, harrissils and longihorums, will
be as usual suitable for church and
extensive decorations; while roses, car
