At the beginning of :895 Kootenay was almost a stranger to be people of the east. Its name bads ar-away sound. The country seemed to he outside the pale of enterprise in our lay. But now the Kootenay district is tolerably well-known. In one year it tan sprang into fsme. Its splendid mountains, valleys, lakes, and rivers have come out of their loneliness and taken their place in the great productive of the country. The district if dotted w-ith mining camps, several of which have become flourishing centres of population and industry. Though (be growth is rapid it is alao firm. Uooms lave been discouraged.

No matter how good a lamp may be. or bw expensive, a gor.d clear light cannot be expected without proper care being given it. New w Irks are often very harsh and do not lrn readily when first put in. This defect can tie remedied by boil in? Jn-iii for a few minutes in water to which a few pine-ben of irax have been added They ahould then be rinsed and hum.' op to dry thoroughly.

Tbe top layer of chocolate cake may be given that desirable "shiny" ap- pearance by taking a heaping teaapoon- Ful of grated ch--olate. two of granu- lated sugar and one of boiling water; ipread the mixture on tbe cake before it is cold, using a broad-bladed knife dip- ped in i -old water to smooth it.
