OUR FORUr1
HumbuEEing the People.

AumbuEE1ng the People.
Maple Ridge, Mimi, Sept II, 1900.
Editor Representative.
Dear Sir: I inclose some clippings
from the Outlook of the 18th of August.
The one on 'The Danger of Imperial
ism," it seems to me, should be ans
wered by some one capable of doing it
in good shape. If mob violence is be-
coming frequent. of late, will the rev.
erend gentleman tell us why it Is 50?
There must be a cause for it as there
is for everything else Will he tell us
why it is that at the close of the civil
war, when so many men who had lately
borne arms were scattered over the
whole country, that there was so little
mob violence, and that vast army of
men returned to peaceful pursuits? VIII
he tell us why 1t is that we never heard
of a tramp until after the crime of '73
had been committed? Yes, there is dam
ger of imperialism. When Britain
wanted to rob Ireland of her parliament
she first sent spies among the people to
stir up sedition, then those wise British
statesmen declared the Irish unfit for
self-gOvernment, and our statesmen here
have learned from those of Great Britain
how to humbug the common herd.
Yours truly,
j. ]. KEHOE.

Mr.. McKinley's letter of acceptance
has been issued. 1t is weak document
for all save those to whom the presi-
dents word is proof positive. 1t reveals
the fact that it's author feels himself to
be on the defensive and is perfectly
aware that brazen asertron is his best
weapon.

Physical Culture for Girls,


There is nothing which plays so great
a part in making girl attractive as
does the possession of good health.
Whether she Graves beauty merely for
the admiration it may bring her, or
whether she realizes what great help it
is to woman in accomplishing her mis-
sion she must acknowledge that it is
impossible unless it has it's origin and
foundation in good health
Occasionally there have been in
stances where such strong mental power
existed that physical weakness has not
prevented the accomplishment of really
great things, but these instances are
very rare.
First and most important is the at
tainment of good position in standing
or walking. II really sincere effort is
made to follow these simple directions,
it is possible to overcome those defects
of carriage which take from so many
girls the grace and charm which would
otherwise be theirs as we'll as saving
them no end of trouble with sagginy
skirts and safety pins.
An opportunity is afforded for the de-
velopment Of the imagination as we'll
as the body, for you are to imagine that
someone has tied a string around your
breastbone and is leading you by it. A
natural rising of the chest will be the
result, and the body will tend to incline
slightly forward from above the waist,
and the abdomen will assume it's proper
1nconspicuous and healthful position
After gaining the position, turn your
attention to the part of the foot on
which the weight rests. In order to
know this exactly, lift the weight so
that you are standing on your toes. The
aeels raised high, then sink back to
normal position; and if you find that
your heels touch the floor noisly you
may be sure that your weight is sup
ported by them rather than the balls.
TO develop the habit Of standing with
the weight properly placed. lift the body
as before. only very slowly, then sink
down until the heels rest very lightly

NOTES AND COMMENT,

Vote for Mckinley or Bryan and you
vote for the capitalist system.
For a system that suppresses the in
dividuality Of the working class.
For system that destroys the home
and breaks up the family.
For a system that divides up social
wealth and deprjves those who produce
it of just share.
For system that reduces men to a
dead level through the wage system.
For system that destroys incentive
to labor and also the opportunity.
For a system that denies the right Of
property to those who produce it.

lightness and precision to the step. 1t
helps. too, in cultivating that pois which
IL the essence of grace. You will find
that in doing this you are unconsciously
fulfilling that threadbare but valuable
order. chin in. chest high and weight on
the balls of the feet
The much worn, much-abused shirt
waist has done some good as we'll as
harm. 1t has made woman carry her
self in better style, even though its stif{
collar Is running the roundness Of her
neck. The blouse effect which is still
the reigning fashion this winter will do
more. for unless the figure it covers is
we'll held and straight. it will look like
shapeless bag. The stays may do this
In part. but whole factories of stays
cannot cover the ugly lines made by
rounded shoulders and fat chests. Only
systematic exercise can overcome these.
There is a real delight in watching the
strong, easy movements Of healthy
woman. And this ease and strength IL
within the reach of nearly every woman.
The fiat chests, shapeless waists and
badly formed hips may be at least par
TALLY remedied, and it requires only q
little effort and persistence to accom-
plish It, Too many women lack persist
ence. Instead of conscientiously taking
their exercise every day, they skip day
when they feel tired or lazy; then two
or three days at time; and eventually
they learn to forget it, or decide that
the game is not worth the candle.
To develop breadth of chest, place the
hands on the waist line little back OF
the hips, the fingers pointing forward.
From this position move the elbows
slowly back toward each other making
them come as nearly together as pos
sible. Do this several times, counting
four as the elbows approach each other,
and two to recover position. BY count
ing to these movements a harmony is
attained which will develop the muscles
evenly. The beautiful words In which
LOngfellOw speaks of Evangeline, Her
passing was like the ceasing of exquisite
music" suggests what this habit uf
counting may develop-a perfect har-
mOny of movement.
After this exercise raise the arms out
at the sides, cross-like, with the fingers
straight and palms down. Then move
the arms slowly around as if describing
circle in the air with the extended
fingers. While doing this inhale deeply
while the hands and arms make the up
per curve of the circle and exhale dur
! ing the downward. BY this the lungs
are filled full of air and distended, f1ll-
ing the chest cavity and stretching the
chest muscles.
And now to take an exercise which is
better than pine pillows poppy powder
or any sedative, and thousand times
more healthful, slip into your fresh,
white bed, draw the covers we'll about
you, so that you are protected from any
chance Of cold, take deep strong breaths
until the coverlid rises and falls with
the movement of the abdomen. Then
two eyes will grow misty and a head
nestle yet more closely in the pillow, and
you slip off into the magical dreamland,
where one can really be what in the
waking world is SO hard to attain-a
womanly woman, strong in the possess
sion of truth and health.-Household.

those days, the Improvement was slight

seemed to Wall street to point to long
and possibly troublesome struggle with
labor, and the market also takes into
consideration not only the chances of an
extension Of labor disturbances to other
trades, but the effects of such circum-
stances on the political situation. In
deed, politics are now receiving degree
OF attention on the part of the specula-
tive community which contrasts in q
striking manner with the indifference
about the presidential contest that has
heretofore prevailed. The uncertainty
attending the contest in November is re-
ceiving attention and naturally produces
additional conservatism on the part Of
financial houses and the stock market
generally. The situation of the money
market was another bearish factor. The
large decrease in cash and surplus aver
ages shown by last Saturdays bank
statement reflects Withdrawals Of money
to the interior for crop movement pur-
poses, plus the decided disbursements
of the treasury. These facts promise to
result in another poor bank statement
tomorrow and it is noted that the supply
of time money has decreased, while ten

upon higher rates. An unfavorable ef-
feet of sentimental kind was produced
by the successful placing here of the
German 4 per cent loan of $4,000, 900,
one of the effects being to give Berlin
power to draw gold from London and
cause hardening of interest rates at
the latter city. while they declined at
Berlin. The reports that other foreign
governments have been encouraged by
the success of the British and German
loans in our markets to undertake nego-
tiations for similar operations on this
side were also considered as pointing to
decided efforts to take advantage of the
relative ease and abundance of capital
here, and as possibly involving a d.
minution of the supplies of funds which

had it's effect on sentiment in the mar

THE USE OF GARNIsHEs.

One important branch connected with the
preparation of foods is too otter neglected
the art of garnishing. Ano set so closely
allied is it to cookery that the most skillful
creation of the culinary artist fails in it's
design to charm, without the little MASTER
hand touches that show in the manner of
decorating the dishes.
Meaning of the Terms.
A Garnish means a mixture of several
tasty morsels prepared in a rich sauce
These dishes are very numerous and the
various compounds derive their names from
that Of the sauce in which they are served :;
as la pOulette, la fnanciere and so on.
This term is also applied in another sense
meaning to fill up pun paste cases or shells
with small birds, sweetbreads. mushrooms,
chicken and oysters and rich sauce.
To Garnisll.
This means to decorate a dish with some
thing to add to it's appearance and attrac-
tiveness. Suitable and appropriate mate
rials must be selected for this purpose, ac-
cording TO the nature of the compound and
all tendency to elaboration must be avoid
ed in home cooking and serving seemingly
unstuded effects are best, especially when
the materials composing the dish are of a
dainty and delicate nature. Unsuitable and
overdone effects in this line are more dis
pleasing to persons OF Sood taste than en-
tire absence Of decoration.
What May BE Used for Gnrnishing.
Beside the ever useful and easily OBJ
tanned parsley, we have a variety of mate
rial that may be used for decorating the
various dishes. Among the green things
growing" we have lettuce, pepper grass,
cress, blanched celery and leaves, olives
gherkins, capers, small picked beans, mas
turtiums and even the homely cabbage
when all else fails. For brighter colors, we
have picked beets carrots, red peppers
and red and yellow tomatoes. Added to
this list are hard boiled eggs, mushrooms
trufIies, chicken livers, oysters and smelts
The latter are used by curling them around
and fastening the tail securely in the
mouth with a tiny skewer.
Attractive Dishes.
The wise housewife will be quick tc ap
preciate the value Of these little acces-
series. They appeal to her nice sense of
taste as we'll as aid in carrying out many
little economies in the way Of utilizing vari-
Gus odds and ends that would otherwise
be Impossible.

the average the deposit consists of about
40 per cent shell. 40 per cent gravel and
20 per cent coarse sand. In the second
layer from the top the bones were found
in great abundance. and in the bottom
layer, just at water level, and about
81 feet below the top Of the bank. large
quantities of the bones were found.
just how to explain this phase of the
situation has taxed the antiquarians
Some suggest the possibility of two stle->
cessive tidal waves. one perhaps far re-
moved from the other in point of time.
The ivory beads found were about n
in diameter and ~ inches long,
with q hole lengthwise and a diagonal
Qr00va cut IN the outside
The exhibit of these bones in the eth
biological building Of the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo will be q most
valuable one in view Of the wide inter-
est excited by the fate of thousands who
perished recently in this same part of
the country in the same way.
The inhabitants Of ancient Pompeii
and Herculaneum perished in day and
their cities were blotted from the face
of the earth by the fiery flood from the
burning mountain Vesuvius, but gener-
atiOns later the lava covering their
houses has been removed and their
homes. together with their skeletons,
their utensils, and the remains Of their
rich civilization have been uncovered to
the curious gaze of the scientist and
the sight-seer. Here, too, in this West
ern world, lived a people which was
overtaken by food and which perished
in night, perhaps longer ago than the
event so graphically described in Bull
wer's Last Days of Pompeii" and in the
closing days of the Ninteenth century
their bones have been taken from the
friendly earth which for so many ages
has sacredly kept the secret of their
abiding place. And by singular COM
bination of events the secret was dis
covered just before the occurrence of
another great tidal wave, similarly dis
astrous to human life, and in time for
the exhibition of the relics at the expo
sition which is to illustrate the pro-
gress upon this continent of a race
which saw it not till perchance thous-
ands of years after the convulsion Of
nature which put the seal of death upon
the secret of this prehistoric people.

Survival of the Fittest.
In Northern zones the raging bear
Protects himself with fat and hair;
Where snow is deep and ice is stark,
And half the year is cold and dark;
He still survives a CLINE like that
By growing fur by growing fat.
These traits, O bear. which thou trans
mfttest,
Prove the survival of the fittest
To Polar regions waste and wan,
Comes the encroaching race of MANI
A puny, feeble little lubber,
He had no fur, he had no blubber;
The scornful bear sat down at ease
To see the stranger starve and freeze:
But, 10! the stranger slew the bear.
And ate his fat and wore his hair!
These deeds, man, which thou COM
mittest,
Prove the survival of the fttest.
In modern times the millionaire
Protects himself as did the bear;
Where poverty and hunger are
He counts his bullion by the car:
Where thousands suffer still he thrives.
The wealth, o Croesus, thou transmit
Proves the survival Of the fttest
BuS, In. some people, odd and funny.
Some men without a cent Of money,
The simple, common human race,
Chose to improve their dwelling place.
They had no use for millionaires;
They calmly said the world was theirs;
They were so strong, so wise, so many
The millionaires? There wasn't any!
These deeds, man, which thou COM
mittest,
Prove the survival Of the flttest.

Sinking Shaft at Henry.

The contractors for the digging of
the Davis Coal & Coke Co.'S shaft at
Henry are having considerable diff
Guilty with the water, it being next to
impossible to keep the water pumped
out so as to be able to accomplish
anything. Two pumps have been
busy and another one is being INSTALL
ed this week. With these it is hoped
that the water can be kept out
enough to permit the hands to con-
tinue the work. Although work was
begun in February the shaft is now
only So feet deep, despite the fact
that three shifts of hands have been
working, and that only few hours
time, save Sundays, have been lost
either night or day. The shaft, when
completed, will be 450 feet deep, and
it is believed by the contractors that
when the water can be disposed of
they will be able to sink fifty feet
every "a hours. The shaft is 10x24
feet and $50 feet deep will be sunk.
Henry, at this time is nothing more
than a little village, but it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that in a compare
lively short time it will be as large as
Thomas, and equally as busy a town.
