DeW MEETING. Dairymans Association of British Coluinbia Aii influential meetingof ilie hIo association was held the Conri Houne ynsterrtuy afternoon, reHiili'ii over by Mr. Balfmr the presi.lcut of the astociiitiun. Mr O. W.

11ml wen, the secretary, i ai an inatruc tive paper by Mr. It Hiipei inteuilent of the D.ltu Creamery on co operative cramerieH ami winter dainintf. Mr C. Wills in opening the diHctiBhiou luid great stress on wiuier dairying, claiming that coww properly fed and cared for would yield as much in winter as on grass in the cummer, that too many fanners disregarded the care of their cows in winter, which was a most injurious system. Mr.

Richards, editor of the Coast Da rymeu from Tacoma full endorsed the previous npeiiki'rs views, he also agreed with Mr. King in reference to creiiuieriod, and touched on the diligent systems ol organizing in the States and stated that it was necessary to have at leant 8.000 lbs. of milk per day assured before commencing operations. In answer to a question as to whether skimming stations or hauling the milk was the leant cost, said that if an average of 1,000 lbs. of milk per day would have to he hauled Iroin an 'inlying district thau a skimming station could he run without Iohk.

Mr. Kicliardn speaking of the turbine sepatatoi' siiid it was a very delicate machine which needed great care in handling, he considered tvery creamery or skiiuu.iug siation should be under the care of good men and not undeimanued or caielessness would be the result. A vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. King for his valuable paper. Mr.

J. W. McGillivray. read a very exhaustive and interesting paper on "the Breeliug and management, the Dairy Herd," which we miv in a a future issue publish in full Mr. Richards recommended feeding calves on nitrogenous food as it gavo tissue to the animal.

Too many root and 'Jiay produced too much fat. In answer to Mr. Wells he said they could not profitably t' ed ciilves mi cream Jin its place be supplied bv a half handful of lins. ed iui hI boiled and mixoii with uiiiK. Oil culic, br ui, lnidliugs and a li 'rn meal were all good ca'f feeds.

Alsvlte was better feed for s'oclt than re I clover anil was not easily ilruw ed out In discussing the question of corn or ensibiire, Mr. Wells thought the latter whs the best as it yielded two crops per annum without cuitiva tion. Tlie 'lmfi How corn wm the best to plant, (here was a long and anr.imated discussion on ensilage versus roots as a winter teed which space and time prevents us giving in full.

Mr. Philip read a lengthy piper on "Agricultural Education." The meeting adjourned until 7 p.m. At the adjourned meeting there was a veiy fair attendance and the subject of permitting swine to feel on skunk cabbagd was taken up, some aryuing that if sulphur was yiven to a hog a few limes Inf irn fattening him no it would eradicate the tniiit of 'he skunk cabbage, (wo wmiM haidlv advise risking the tit I Mr. I aac in, b. is cidedlv ah int sal mii as a deleters us he obtained a situation as cut food to swine his OWn exper t' i' for Sw ill brothers.

Mr. Kipu's remarks were received with hilarious applause and gave quite a zesl to the meeting. Several other interesting topics were discussed. The dlowing resolution was carried unanimously.

(Our notes bad to be condensed for want of time and space.) Not a Boy. St. Louis, Mo.

March 0. A sppcial cable from Berlin to the Globe Democrat says: The astounding information was received here to day from the Rhine provinces that tho celebrated "Boy Pianist," Kaoul Kosc.elski, who has played at all the courts and in the principal cities of Europe, is not a boy. but a fully developed and comely girl of sweet 10 or more. Kaoul Kosczal ski's secret was discovered by the chamberraa'ds of the leading hotel of Dusseldorf on the Rhine Armed with indubitable evidence, the astonished servants informed "mine hostess," who marvelled how anyone dared perpe trate such an offence in ber first class establishment, and in an orthodox Lutheran atmosphere, uoted for the purity of its morals Father Kosczalski the virtuoso's manager, and never Mowed his charge, to leave his side. I'liey registered as father and son, and usually occupied the best suite of rooms in the hotels, and neither was ever seen alone at the lahle or in the streets.

When the true sex of Itaoul was discovered the strange coupie and the Dus seldorf landlady had an animated con ferenee, which resulted In the cnDcell ingofa uiyht or two's performances, and an abrupt departure of the guests There are other reports out, which allege that the supposed father of Kaonl, who is a Polish Hebrew, of ven rahlu Bppearar.ee.

All this, of course, papa Sosczalski denies em phaiicallv. He will not, however, allow anyone to see Kaoul just now, who, he claims, is too ill to perform at present Kaoul makes a fine looking boy, though rather loo plump for a growing lad. The general contour, however, attired in a neat knickerbocker suit, with regulation black stockings and gold buckled slippers, is attractive aud prepossessing a dreamy expression, yearning drooping eyes, small features, peachy complexion, and very fine, short cut bair Kvery girl that saw and heard 'he wouder fell la love with this ideal youth.

CEORGE SWAN THE SUICIDE Lived Over a Week With a Bullet In His Brain. The medical profession are completely baffled over the case of George Swan, the Kincardine merchant tailor who shot himself with suicidal intent at the residence of his brother in law, Mr. Henry Huut. of 159 Harbord street, on February 27th lat, and only succumned to his wounds at 1:30 yesterday uiorn I)r Menuie, who had been in constant attendance on the suffering man, in the preseuco of Coroner Powell yesterday afternoon made a post mur tern examination of the remains, and brought to light some facts which will no doubt be read with considerable in terest by the medical profession at large. The bullet, it was fouud, had entered the forehead at the tiase of the nose, dinctly between the eyes, making an aperture sufiicieully large to udinit a person's two fingers.

Some splinters from the skull had been driven right into the In tun The ball was fouud in the right ventricle of the brain, almost live inches from the outward entrance. There was also a blood clot fully one third of an inch in thickness over the wholu of the right hemisphere of the brain. From the time of the shooting, about 2:30 o'clock ou Saturday after nimn. February until within two hours of his alh. M' San was perfectly conscious, could converse freely with those about him.

He first began to sink on Saturday last; about noon, aud weakened gradually until death occurred. There will uot be an inquest, as was at first expected, for, a ter hearing the result of the post mortem. Coroner Powell withdrew his warrant. Mr. Swan was born In this city in 1S50 While working as a newsU on the old Great Western he fell oil a train at (i i ii ph aud hud his left leg cut off.

His business had troubled him lately, and the loss of his leg and the oft recurring pains he suffered from it, as well as the tortures of dyspepsia, made existence burdensome, aud had caused him to take his own life. Deceased leaves a widow and four children. The funeral will take place from 159 Harbord street, to the Union Station, at 8:20 this morning, where the remains will bo placed on the train and taken to Kincardine, where they will be buried to morrow. Ex, Objections to a Bridge Across the Detroit Itiver. Hamilton, March 8.

Mr. C. 11. Keep, ol Buffalo, secretary of the Lake Car rier Association, nppeared before the council of the Board of Trade yesterday being accompanied by Mr. R.

O. Mackay and Capt. Fairgrievo, and asked that a protest be made to the Dominion Government against grant ing the Michigan Central railway per mission to build a bridge across the Detroit river, between Windsor ana Detroit. It was stated that the build lug of the piers in the river would be dangerous to navigation on account of the swift current, the constant crossing ofthe ferries, and Ihe congested con dition of traffic in the river at that point. All the American lake port marine as sociations have filed a.

protest at Wash ington, and they would like the Cana dian Marine Association and Boards of Trade to enter a protest at Ottawa. Th 1 council will consider the uialter at a future moetiug. Question. We el'p the following article from the "Inland Sentinel The rural municipality of Chilliwaek has up to this lime steadily resisted the advances of King Alcohol, so that no license for the sale of intoxicating liquors has ever been allowed there. But the insatiable thirst of the liquor loving minority has driven them to the forma tion of "Clubs," wherein the supply of the beverages they most delight in is unlimited To suppress these clubs.

i he temperance people of the municipality are now petitioning the Provincial Legislature to disallow clubs in rural mnneipalities. Hut they surely caunot expect succeed in this, for ihe Legislature has really no power in the matter. They cannot interfere with one man supplying himself ith any sort of 'leverages, alcoholic or otherwise, which may de ire, and still less with an nr'egation of men. That would re ijuiru the exercise of a power vested the federal authority, and while we are free to confess that the privileges of clubs are often, indeed almost invaria bly, abused to the detriment of the licensed trade in liquors, it is an abuse which is extremely difficult to prevent. The petitioners of Chilliwaek will not have their praver answered in the manner they desire.

Lumber Prices go Upward. San Francisco, March 13 The price of every foot of lumber which is ship ped to this port, and Is manufactured or handled in any business centre of the Pacific coast, has been advanced. The new price lists will be issued to morrow, and although they will uotuinally go into effect to morrow morning, they will not become practically operative until next Monday morning, when the great lumber trust begins its existence. As already announced success has crowned tbeeliorts of the organizers of the Cen tral Lumber Company. Every mill of the slightest importance on the coast has been included in the combination.

The retailors are in a position whore resistance Is out of the question, even if it. were contemplated. The wholesale dealers and mill men control the situation, and intend lo make the lumber business profitable It is claimed lhat many of the most powerful leaders in the industry have conducted their business for years without a profit have reduced prices to that point where heavy losses could not be avoided. The gigantic trust will remedy these evils and allow the members of the corporation to charge what they be lieve to be resouable for the product they haudle. Threw Himself Overboard.

A young Norwegian named Johnson, while going north on the Danube last week, deliberately threw himself overboard aud was drowned. The steamer was stopped as quickly as possible and a boat lowered, but he sank before the boat reachi him. Johnston whs evi dently insane. He came to A'ert Bay from the Norwegian settlement at Quat sino a short time ago. The night before the arrival of the Danube nt Alert Bay he was in terror of some one coming to arrest him.

and remained iu the woods all night He boarded the Danube as soon as she arrived and bought a ticket for i he Skeena river. He again became frightened on board the boat and se creted himself iu the coal box. After receiving assurances from the crew that no one would harm him, lie became more rational and walked on deck. from which heshortly afterwards threw himself into the sea. But very little was known about Johnson.

He was well dressed and seemed to have plenty of money. He probably was one of the Norwegian settlers at Quatsiuo. Remarkable Discovery. London, March 8 Bv far the largest and finest discovery of a Neolithic burial place known to sciences is report ed from Worms. Over seventy graves have thus far been opened, and this is only a fraction of the whole.

There is no trace of metal, but much unique stone, bone, and shell ornamental work, mostly in the form of arm rings, of which women wore four or more on each arm. The skeletons are remark ably well preserved, aud Professor Vir chow expects notable results from data of skull measurements which are to be obtaiued, Arm rings of blue and grey slate were fouud iu Ihegravesof women Three arm rings made of slate were re moved from upper arm of oueskele ton, four from another, aud six from the lower arm of a third. In a roan'i grave there was on the neck of the skeleton a small conically polished ornament of syenite, not perforated, but provided with a groove for a string, Other ornaments consist of pearls aud mussel shells made in tho form of trinkets, perforated boards, tusks, and small fossil mussels. These urnaments were worn by women and men alike. Ruddle and ochre fragments, which were used in tattooing and colouring ie skin, were also frequent.

In hardly a single cast was missing from the women's graves the primitive corn mill consisting of two stones, a grinding stone and a grain crusher. The men's graves contain weapons and implements, all of stone, with which were stones and bones for sharpening purposes. They consist of perforated hammers, sharpened hatchets, axes, and chisels, as well as knives and scrapers of flint. That there was no want of food is shown by many vessels, often six or eight in one grave, and the remains of food found near them, the latter being the bones of various annuals. Several photographs have been taken ct the skeletons as they lie in the graves, their appearance being per foct after a repose of thousands of years.
