Where Eieldinu Is Buried.

The father of the English novel,
the two hundredth anniversary OF
whose birth fell the other day. lies
buried amid the cypress trees OF the
English cemetery of Lisbon. Not long
after his death a tomb was erected to
mark the spot-a memorial which an
English visitor in 1872 found nearly
concealed by weeds and nettles. In
1890. through the exertions of the.
then British chaplain, large sar-
conhagus was substituted, which
about 30 years ago was repaired, and
the inscriptions, long one in Latin
on the front, and the words on the
back. "Luget Britannia gremio non
dari fovere natum,' carefully re-

Wants the Rod Restored.

The Shanghai Times editor says:
The jail has been well administered,
but is fuller than it should be, due. l
fear, to the abolition of the cangue
and bamboo. The ordinary criminal
has no great objection to repeated
short visits to the Jail, but shrinks
from a repetition of corporal punish
ment. Punishment with the bamboo
is in vogue throughout China, and
here only has 1t by special edict been
abolished. We deprecate the Chinese
authorities making this settlement a
field for experiment, and Will press
for the reintroduction OF this salu'
tary method of punishment.

Laundry work at home would b

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength than other makes.

Corporations Gust Miners.

The Klondike proper-that is, that
portion of the Yukon territory in the
vicinity of DawsOn-as far as the in
6ividual miner is concerned, is on a
rapid decline owing to the immense
area of ground being acquired by
dredging companies. One company
alone has purchased nearly all the
placer ground on the three principal
creeks, namely: Bonanza. Eldorado
and Hunker and has bonded consid-
erably more on Dominion and other
creeks for various reasons Where
formerly hundreds of miners were
working for wages or working their
own ground. thus creating a demand
for provisions, clothing, machinery,
hardware, etc, and the transportation
