Aunt Mandy Was Thoroughly Satisfied with New Husband. Aunt Mandy is an old colored wom an who for years has done washing for several families. She has had several matrimonial experiences, and when her last husband died one of her customers attempted to condole with her. "I was very sorry to hear of your husband's death, Aunt' Mandy," she ■aid. "Ya'as, ma'am," said Aunt Mandy. "He was a pow'ful good man." "What did he die of?" "Ah really don't know, ma'am." "You don't know- Gracious! Couldn't the doctor tell you?" "Ah didn't have no doctah, ma'am," said Aunt Mandy. "He jes done died a natch'ral death." It wasn't long, however, before Aunt Mandy had another husband. "I hear you are married again," re marked her patron one day. "Ya'as, ma'am," giggled Aunt Mandy. "I was done married las' Sunday." "And is your new husband equal to the last?" "Ya'as, indecdy, ma'am," said Aunt Mandy. "He's jes as equal, if not equaller." MUCH UP AGAINST IT. Old Lady's Description of Ills Some what Confusing. Mrs. Rhoda Holmes Nichols, the ar tisj, who spends the summer at Glou cester, Mass., where she teaches a numerous sketch class, tells of an old woman who lives on the out skirts of the town and whom she has known for a number of years. The old lady has often been sketched by the students of Mrs. Nichols' class, and is known to them and to every body else as Aunt Sally. When Mrs. Nichols went to Glou cester this year she called at the quaint little cottage and found th« old woman rather more bent than last year and looking a good deal older as she tottered along her little garden leaning on a stick. "Well, Aunt Sally," said the artlrt "how have you been since last suta nier?" "Oh, not very well," she replied, shaking her head, "not very well." "Is the rheumatism still bad?" "Oh, yes,i miss, it's that bad nowa days I can't set and 1 can't scarcely lay." Too Much Afraid of Dirt. It is quite true that "cleanliness la next to godliness," but In this day of fads and scientific frills the question is whether we are not getting alto gether too afraid of a little dirt. Dirt has been defined as matter in the wrong place, and hygiene is the science of keeping it in the right place. Hut we are inclined to think that we are all a little bit too much up in the air on the matter of cleanli ness; a little too afraid of coming in contact with the clean-smelling, kind ly earth, and are in danger of becom ing nasty-nice.—Washington Herald.

Well Brewed Postum Always Palatable The flavour of Postum, when boiled according to directions, is always the same—mild, distinctive, and palatable. It contains no harmful substance like caffeine, the drug in cofTee, and hence may be used with benefit at all times. "Believing that coffee was the cause of my torpid liver, sick headache and misery in many ways," writes an Ind. lady, "I quit and bought a package of Postum about a year ago. "My husband and I have been BO well pleased that we have continued to drink Postum ever since. We like the taste of Postum better than coffee, as it has always the same jjleasant flavour, while coffee changes its taste with about every new combination or blend. "Since using Postum I have had no more attacks of gall colic, the heavi ness has left my chest, and the old, common, every-day headache is a thing unknown." "There's a Reason."

Cook of the department of agriculture reports that cotton, of a primitive type, collected by Prof. N. L. Brltton and Mr. William Harris in coastal thickets in the extreme south ern part of Jamaica, seems to be un doubtedly a wild plant. It resembles a type of cotton which grows wild on the Florida Keys. The interest of the discovery lies largely in the sugges tion of Prof. Britton that this cotton may prove very valuable for breeding purposes, since It furnishes a new point of departure. The existence of wild cotton in Jamaica has been af firmed before, but the evidence hith erto has not been convincing. MAKING SOUND WA VES VISIBLE W\AWvW VW —WVTVW~V G Gramophone. M Four-sided revolving mirror. S Screen upon which records are re ceived. H Horn of gramophone. SB Sound-board. R Ray from projecting lantern focused onto vibrating mirror. R1 Same ray reflected onto revolving mirror. Many indeed have been the steps towards perfection or the gramophone since its invention by Mr. Emiie Ber liner 21 years ago. Today it is no longer a curious bit of scientific apparatus, of the nature of a toy, but the focus of a great and ever-increasing industry in which thousands of persons are con cerned. The fundamental principle of the in strument is well known. The sound waves induced in the air by any source of sound are allowed to impinge upon a delicately held diaphragm, which vi brates under this onset of the sound waves. The diaphragm vibrations are next made to leave an inscribed record on a suitable medium, and this record is used to reproduce the origi nal sounds and so convey them to the ear. A recent invention by Mr. G. Bow ron constitutes an interesting acces sory to the gramophone or phono graph. It provides, in fact, a means of seeing the sound-waves, or oscilla tions, which a record is making in the course of its work, whether these pro ceed from the voice, piano or orches tra. A vibrating mirror (about the size of a three-penny-bit) and its accom panying mechanism are made at tachable to a gramophone sound-box, its special function being to visualise the sound-waves or oscillations which are produced as the result, of the move ments of the stylus in the grooves of the record disc. When a beam of light from a suitably placed projecting lantern is allowed to fall upon the lit tle mirror it is reflected back along another path; in this path a rotating box-mirror of the four-sided type is in terposed. Once again the beam is di verted, but this time onto a white screen. The prime result of all this transfer of rays is the appearance on the screen of an enlarged luminous curve, or "oscillograph," which repro duces the changing instrumental sounds in the fashion shown in the left-hand corner of our diagram (S). CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1908. HOME-MADE HYGROMETER. Interesting Little Weather Forecastei You Can Construct. One of the earliest principles in me teorology is the determination of the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. To arrive at an exact estimate is of course only possible with the help of the hygrometer—au Instrument of a The Weather House —Rear and Front Views. rather, elaborate nature. But there are many devices by means of which changes in the moistness of the air may be shown, some of them exceed ingly easy to arrange. Perhaps the simplest form of all, known to every housewife in the coast towns, is the suspended piece of seaweed. Any kind of the common brown algae answers the purpose admirably. A small bunch tied together and hung up on a wall shows the excessive humidity in the atmosphere which often precedes rain by becoming damp and flabby. A very ingenious contrivance is the old-fashioned "weather house," largely made in Switzerland. It is arranged in such a way, says the Scientific American, that two figures act in re sponse to the twisting of a piece of catgut. The material, supported by a wire, controls the movements of a lit tle platform on either end of which is placed a model. Excessive moisture in the air causes the catgut to twist, and turn the platform round, so that the man emerges from one of the doors in the front of the house. Re verse conditions of the atmosphere bring about the contraction of the cat gut, and the platform swings back, thus bringing the figure of the woman into prominence at her particular door. The making of a weather house is quite a simple affair and how to set about the construction may be judged from the picture giving a "peep be hind the scenes." If properly made the contrivance is a fairly reliable weather prophet. R2 Same ray reflected onto screen and giving the record. SBI Detailed view of sound-board and recording attachment.

THE LAND OF GRAIN —BY JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD Author of"American Farmers Build ing a New Nation in the North"— "Canada—The Land of Greater Hope"—"The Invasion of Canada by American Farmers"—"A Thousand Miles on Horseback Across the Do minion Provinces," Etc., Etc. Not so very many years ago the major ity of people in the United States laughed at the prediction that the day was coming when Western Canada would far outstrip this country in the raising of grain—when, in other words, it would become the great bread-basket of the world. During the past Ihree or four years the enormous production of grain in the Dominion West lias thinned the ranks of those who doubted the destiny of Canada's vast grain growing regions; the crops of this year will dispel the doubts of the remaining few. From Winnipeg westward to the foothills of Alberta, over a country nearly a thousand miles in width, the grain production this year will be something to almost stagger the belief of those hundreds of thousands of American farmers whose average yield is not more than from ten to fifteen bushels of wheat to the acre, and who are finding that their product is also outclassed in quality by that of their northern neighbors. The enormous grain crop of this year in the Canadian West may truth fully be said to be the production of "a few pioneers." Only a small per centage of the unnumbered millions of acres of grain land are under culti vation, notwithstanding the fact that tens of thousands of homesteads were taken up last year. And yet, when all the figures are in, it will be found that the settlers of the western prai ries have raised this year more than 125,000,000 bushels of wheat, 100,000,- 000 bushels of oats and 25,000,000 bushels of barley. It has been a "for tune making year" for thousands of American farmers who two or three years ago owned hardly more than the clothes upon their backs, and whose bumper crops from their homesteads will yield them this season anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500 each, more money than many of them have seen at one time in all their lives. Very recently I passed through the western provinces from Winnipeg to Calgary, and in the words of a fellow passenger, who was astonished by what he saw from the car windows in Manitoba, we were, metaphorically speaking, in a "land of milk and honey." The country was one great sweep of ripening grain. In fact, so enormous was the crop, that at the time there were grave doubts as to the possibility of GETTING ENOUGH BINDER TWINE TO SUPPLY THE DEMAND. A situation like this has never before been known in the agri cultural history of any country. Before I made my first trip through the Dominion west I doubted very much the stories that I had heard of this so-called "grain wonderland" across the border. I believed, as un numbered thousands of others be lieved, that the stories were circulated mostly to induce immigration. I quick ly found that I was wrong. As one Alberta farmer said to me a few weeks ago, "If the whole truth were told about this country I don't sup pose you could find one American in ten who would believe it." This year the prospects of the wheat crop of Saskatchewan, Mani toba and Alberta are an average of over TWENTY-FIVE BUSHELS TO THE ACRE, and that this grain is far superior to that raised in the states is proved by our own govern ment statistics, which show that American millers are importing mil lions of bushels of B "Canadian hard" to mix with the home product in order that THIS HOME PRODUCT MAY BE RAISED TO THE REQUIRED STANDARD. It is a peculiar fact that while the Dominion Government is anxious for its western provinces to fill up with the very best of immi grants, there has been no blatant or sensational advertising of those lands. For this reason it is probable that not one American farmer out of fifty knows that Canada wheat now holds the world's record of value —that, in other words, it is the best wheat on earth, and that more of it is grown to the acre than anywhere else in the world. A brief study of climatic conditions, and those things which goto make a climate, will show that the farther one travels northward from the Mon tana border the milder the climate be comes—up to a certain point. In other words, the climate at Edmonton, Alberta, Is far better than that of Denver, 1,500 miles south; and while thousands of cattle and sheep are dy ing because of the severity of the winters in Wyoming, Montana and other western states, the cattle, sheep and horses of Alberta GRAZE ON THE RANGES ALL WINTER WITH ABSOLUTELY NO SHELTER. This Is all largely because sea-currents and air-currents have to do with the ma king of the climate of temperate re gions. For instance, why is it that California possesses such a beautiful climate, with no winter at all, while the New England states 011 a parallel with it have practically six months of winter out of twelve? It is because of that great sweep of warm water known as the "Japan current," and this same current not only affects the westernmost of the Dominion provinces, but added to its influence are what are known as the "chinook winds" —steady and undevi ating air-currents which sweep over the great wheat regions of Western Canada. There are good scientiflo reasons why these regions are capable of producing bettor crops than our own western and central states, but best of all are the proofs of it in act ual results. This year, for instance, as high as one hundred bushels of oats to the acre will be gathered in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, and some wheat will go AS HIGH AS FIFTY BUSHELS TO THE ACRE, though of course this is an unusual yield. Last spring it was widely advertised In American papers that Alberta's win ter wheat crop was a failure. In fact, this is Alberta's banner year in grain production, as it is Saskatchewan's and Manitoba's, and from figures al ready in it is estimated that Alberta's wheat will yield on an average of THIR TY-FIVE BUSHELS TO THE ACRE. In many parts of the province returns will show a yield of as high as FIFTY bushels to the acre and it is freely predicted by many that when the of ficial figures are in a yield of at least forty-five instead of thirty-five bushels to the acre will be shown. At the time of my last journey through the Canadian West, when my purpose was largely to secure statis tical matter for book use, I solicited letters from American settlers in all parts of the three provinces, and most of these make most Interesting read ing. The letter was written by A. Kal tenbrunner, whose postoffice address is Regina, Saskatchewan. "A few years ago," he says,"l took up a homestead for myself and also one for my son. The half section which we own is between Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining the Moosejaw creek, and is a low, level and heavy land. Last year we putin 100 acres of wheat which went 25 bushels to the acre. Every bushel of it was 'No. I.' That means the best wheat that can be raised 011 earth—worth 90 cents a bushel at the nearest elevators. We also threshed 9,000 bushels of first class oats out of 160 acres. Eighty acres was fall plowing AND YIELDED NINETY BUSHELS TO THE ACRE. We got 53 cents a bushel clear. All our grain was cut in the last week of the month of August. We will make more money out of our crops this year than last. For myself, I feel com pelled to say that Western Canada crops cannot be checked, even by un usual conditions." An itemized account shows a single year's earnings of this settler and his son to be as follows: 2,500 bushels of wheat at 90 cents a bushel $2,250 9,000 bushels of oats at 53 cents a bushel 4,770 Total $7,020 It will be seen by the above that this man's oat crop was worth twice as much as his wheat crop. While the provinces of western Canada will for all time to come be the world's greatest wheat growing regions, oats are running the former grain a close race for supremacy. The soil and cli matic conditions in Manitoba, Sas katchewan and Alberta are particular ly favorable to the production of oats, and this grain, like the wheat, runs a far greater crop to the acre than In even the best grain producing states of the union. Ninety bushels to the acre is not an unusual yield, whole homesteads frequently running this average. And this is not the only ad vantage Western Canada oats have over those of the United States, for in weight they run between forty and fifty pounds to the bushel, while No. 1 wheat goes to sixty-two pounds to the bushel. In fact, so heavy is Canadian grain of all kinds, and espe cially the wheat, that throughout the west one will see cars with great placards upon them, which read: "This car is not to be filled to ca pacity with Alberta wheat." When I made my first trip through the Canadian West a few years ago I found thousands of settlers living in rude shacks, tent shelters and homes of logs and clay. Today one will find these old "homes" scattered from Manitoba to the Rockies, but they are no longer used by human tenants. Modern homes have taken their place —for it has come to be a common say ing in these great grain regions that, "The first year a settler Is in the land he earns a living; the second he has money enough to build himself a mod ern home and barns; the third he is independent." And as extreme as this statement may seem to those hun dreds of thousands of American farm ers who strive for a meager existence, it is absolutely true. I am an Ameri can, as patriotic, I believe, as most of our people—but even at that I cannot but wish that these people, whose lives are such an endless and unhappy grind, might know of the new life that is awaiting them in this last great west —this "land of greater hope," where the farmer is king, and where the wealth all rests in his hands. As one American farmer said to me, "It is hard to pull up stakes and move a couple of thousand miles." And so it is—or at least it appears to be. But in a month it can be done. And the first year, when the new settler reaps a greater harvest than he has ever possessed before, he will rise with 200,000 others of his people in Western Canada and thank the gov ernment that has given him, free of cost, a new life, a new home, and new hopes—which has made of him, in fact, "A man among men, a possessor of wealth among his people."
