ARRIVAL OF New Axminster Carpets At Lnniizire. a small town in the South of France, a young nobleman, scion of a Catholic family of ancient descent and smalt means, was eager to be married to the daughter of a well to do Jew. The marriage was to take plate on the following day, when the bridegroom's mother heard that the bride expectant had a cloven foot.

Her son journeyed to the Jew's house and, demanded to see tlie girl's bare feet. The bride's parents indignantly refused and summarily dismissed him. It as afterwards found that the. cloven foot story was false; but it was too late touring about a reconciliation, so the young man lost the bride and the money which she was to receive as a dower.

A WOMM lHKl I. WATKR SYSTKM. The city of I.os Angeles in California lias population of ami is Btill growing. In the city noiuired the ownership of the water works. The average consumption then was three hundred gallons liny per lieail.

tlie largest in tlie I'nited Sttiti. Willi the iiitro.lnetioti of meters th'm 1ms been reduced to 1LD gallons. Placing the' future daily consumption at loll callous per head the rapidly growing city nmt seek its future water supply from some oilier source mid that ourc is ill the Owen river valley, more than 1l miles north of the city and high up in the mountains. This valley is about 4INJ0 feet above the sea level and has a watershed of i'lKl square miles. Through the valley from north to south runs Owen river carrying an average daily flow of IdO.OmUXlO gallons.

Tlie proposition is for the city to acquire by purchase the water rights of the valley, to dam the river 27 miles further north, and by thus diverting the river carry it by conduits to I.os Angeles, 5 Although there have been no fresh outbreaks in eastern Hengal the unrest continues aud causes some anxiety. The is largely attributable to the Hindoo movement to boycott F.nglish goods. Mohammedams still refuse to join the boycott and Hindoo bitterness against them increases. A Hindoo organization called tlie National Volunteers is carrying on agitation in the rural distticts, keeping the whole population in a state of nervous irritation. Members go armed with spears, clubs, swords, and sometimes firearms, preaching sedition, hampering trade, destroying foreign goods, and terrorizing the inhabitants.

Trade is almost slopped anil farming hindered. The jute crop likely will be seriously crippled. We observe that Saint de Sing, the young Hindoo who spoke here three mouths ago, is lecturing in the east, telling his audiences what a gooil man he is and how badly his inoffensive countryineu are used by the I'ritish. Sing is a bright lad; but he is a dangerous agitator and is doing all in his power lo torment rebellion against Hritisli rule in India. WE have just added to stock a largnron signment 'of beautiful new pattern Axminsters'direct from one of the best carpet manufacturer in England.

These designs have never been seen in Vancouver before and the colors are the lichest. There are soft greens, deep greens; deep blues and chintzes all of such wonderful depth and the pile is as smooth and 6ilky as fur. Probably you have adruiral the carpet in some of the best hotels in town. We have furnished a large number of them, and' the majority of them are Ax minsters. Occasionally one meets with a Wilton: some of this make are exceptionally choice, they are next to the Axminster, the richest carpel, only in the limited number of colors possible to place in any one Wilton do they fail to reach the standard of the Axminster, but on the other hand they are an exceptionally hard wearing car re.

and if you have a dining room, hall, etair or corner, meeting much hard wear, we should advise a Wilton. They wear like iron and will give you satisfaction. Tapestry Carpets It is not surprising how these carpets have grown in popular favor for bedrooms. The choice of colors is ns wide as any carpet and for bedrooms they answer the purpose admirably, whilst the price is considerably less than any other. From 50c to $1.00 per yard.

miles away. It will be the longest conduit supplying a city with water in the world and with one exception the longest for any purpose. That exception is the Coolgardie system in West A ustialia where water for mining purposes is sent through a thirty inch pipe and lifted over a mountain range 1 feet by pumping stations along the line. Although on itn way from Owen's river to I.os Angeles the water must penetrate a gnat mountain range it could be carried down by gravity alone without pumping or tunneling, but it is thought better to construct miles of tunnels. Five miles of this work will tie in solid rock, under the mountains.

14 feet 'wide and 11 feet high und will require five ears to complete. More than IttKi.nnO tons of cement will be used and oO(KI men will be employed. The city will make its own cement at a cost of $1 per barrel, and a railroad will be constructed parallel with the proposed line of the conduit and over the road men and materials will be carried to the points desired. That part of the water needed for immediate use in the city can he sent directly to the intake for I.os Angeles. That not needed for immediate use will be sold for irrigation.

The supply will be abundant for at least a hundred years to come, if not, indeed, for ever, for the growth of vegetation under irrigation will lend to increase the annual rainfall. It is jnoposed to use a portion of the water for the purpose of generating the electric current and by the introduction of storage batteries a total of horse power will be reached and all thiN without any interruption or waate of water or the uniform flow to I.os Angeles. The current will be used for lighting streets, parks and public buildings, operating electric railways and running factories.

The Free I'ress speedily became a power ami has always held a leading position in Manitoba and the northwest as an enterprising newspaper. After conducting the Free Press for more ihau twenty years, Mr.

Luxton disposed of the establishment and left for St. Paul where he managed the Globe, J. J. Hill's personal organ, for several years. Latterly he was the inspector of public buildings under tlie Manitoba government.

Wheat is steadily rising in value at Chicago, the wheat market of the world, and the excitement is as great as at any time during the high price era of P.I04. Winnipeg, drawing its inspiration from Chicago, is handling great fjuantitios of grain which were blockaded during the winter at A French phrase book contained the following gems: "Tell me, portier, tlie Philadelphia train, at what hour she clears away." "Please put of rosbif one plate before me." "Is this the proper boat of steam?" "Passenger, have you the greatness to christen this here building?" "I desire to find "tlie white hause of Ted." "Policeman, I search the park, tlie avenue, the Carnegie, and high life." A German phrase book, duly displayed by a minister from Berlin, showed the question, "Direct me, my sir.

to the spot of the great popular beer halls," and gave the following dialogue, which would take ulace if the German tourist entered a hatter's to buy a hat: "Dealer It is a fine, glorious morning. "Patron Heaven be praised, yes. "Dealer My shop is bursting with hats, sir. "Patron I will take one of soft gearing, unlined with any sort of cloth. "Dealer Sir, your head is exceedingly too large; it is strenuous to fit you.

"Patron I am pressed, I wish to remove the shop hurriedly." A Hindoo showed the other day a phrase book printed in Calcutta that told how one should conduct one's self in an American barber shop: "Patron I am shaved. "Rather Are you agreeable when we trimp well the beard parts? "Patron Trimp no thing; shave solely." prices which range from $1.07 to per bushel with every prospect of continuous advance. What was deemed a calamity through the inclemency of Mirzapore Rugs, these are hand woveu oriental rugs and the designs are peculiar to that part of the world; with all the scientific skill of the Occident, these rugs easily out distance any made by peoples of European origin for richness of coloring and bizarre effect. Those Indian blues and dark crimsons aro unmatched elsewhere. We 6tock them at prices from $42 to $85.

HOUSE OF LORDS BARS IRISH ASPIRATIONS the weather and the Suability of the railways to handle the crops has proved a blessing in disguise and should the growing crops equal anticipations 1007 promises to be the most prosperous and profitable of any that the western provinces of Canada at large have enjoyed. The shortage in American wheat is pronounced by men who have been close observers for many years to be cer tain, and should the Canadian yield equal that of PHlli tliere is no reasou to doubt that a prosperous year awaits our country. Following closely on the heels of the announcement that the American crops will be short comes information from Central Knrope and Russia which indicates tha a drought is in progress there and that there is little prospect of even an average crop of wheat and corn. In some of the churches in Itoumauia aud adjacent countries prayers are being offered up for rain. A thrifty white population continues to pour into tlie uorthwest in unprecedented numbers.

No milling section that has ever been discovered in A nierica has attracted a larger or more energetic immigration thau have the wheat fields of the northwest, rom early in the season crowds have been pouring into the country. They are mostly composed of Americans, who bring with them their families, their farming utensils and their furniture, thus evidencing an inteutiou of becoming permanent residents and growing up with the country. There is not the slightest danger of those people endeavoring to Americanize Canada. The fear is groundless. They will settle dowu aud become as good as any, after a few years enjoyment of our laws and institutions.

The Americans once had a saying that "Cotlou is king," referring to the principal product of the Southern Slates.

An Englishman has invented a paste which if applied to a face for ten minutes may be scraped off with the back of a comb, a piece of cardboard or the edge of a piece of Miff paper, bringing the beard with it.

There is no longer necessity for a razor. There were many barbers present in London who wi'uessed the action of the paste and retired from the scene with dejected looks, for, like Othello, they felt that their occupation was gone. A lively discussion lias been provoked in the east among railway men who are seeking ft cause for recent disastrous railway accidents. The remedy is in running trains slower, to never let any train be run faster than 40 miles an hour. That be the limit.

Railways should put in double tracka and heavier rails and take every possible precaution; but if they should continue to run at a breakneck speed over them there will always be danger ahead.
