The noiseless aivup spoon calls for • noiseless soup mouth. Keep your gurd up. Tho pneu monia germ is seeking to hand you one. London society has experienced a jar, having taken to roller skates again. The Salome music has been trans ferred to phonographic records, but no one wants Salome in that form. In Pennsylvania is a woman who has waited nine years to be hanged and is in no particular hurry even yet. It took a postal card 36 years togo from Connecticut to Indiana. Bet a dollar he had it In his pocket all tho time. There is said to be a wealthy wom an in Denver who has never worn a hat. That's probably why she Is wealthy. Men thirty years old are estimated to be worth $16,000 to the country, and a good many would like to cash in on that basis. New York physicians are going to charge for "telephone consultations." Thus is another avenue of free ad vice closed to the world. Cats and dogs as household pets, therefore, are a menace. So also Is tho mule, although he carries his dan gerous germs in his heels. A New York woman says It is ut terly impossible for her to live on $3,000 a year. What hard work some people do make out of living! Over in Europe somebody has paid $72,000 for a grain of radium. Still radium is a long way from being con eidered one of the necessities of life. The department of agriculture's dic tum that Welsh ra-rebit is digestible and hygienic would probably carry a wider popularity if extended to mince pie. Somebody claims to have Invented a new kind of minco pie. It might help more if somebody would invent a better kind of pill to be taken with mince pie. *ost of this country's $250,000,000 fire loss may be needless, but, as the man said coming down on the train, It demonstrates that the people have money to burn. The Long Island youth who has fallen heir to a fortune on the condi tion that he never become a clergy man may be said to have fallen into some easy money. American mules are preferred to all other kinds in South Africa. American mules receive their early tutelage In ■trong, rich language, which perhaps puts ginger Into them. A Philadelphia man has been arrest ed for stealing 200 pounds of human hair, or about enough for four up-to date coiffures, an especially serious of fense In view of tho present fashion. We've neard many people sing that old Fong about wanting to be an angel, I'Ut it could bo observed that they were always afraid of getting their feet wet during tho grip season. Pittsburg has already begun an an nexation movement against 1912. It is the early bird that stands well In census tables. The arrest of a Greek army officer for the appropriation of $4,000,000 of the government's money leads one to believe that all the financiers do not hold forth In Wall street.

Especially Is this tendency notice able among promi nent men In all walks of life. There is, however, cause for rejoicing rather t.han otherwise In this tendency for a bobby—always supposing it is not rid den to death —as a means of diver sion and relaxation, and it is bound l> prove distinctly beneficial to the Man of affairs whose mind it relieves temporarily from the stress and strain of official, business or professional cares. It Is doubly .fortunate that many of our celebrities whose work keeps them indoors much of the time have selected hobbies that lure them out into the open. President Taft, for instance, has three out-door hobbies, golf, motoring 1 and horseback riding. His chief in door hobby is grand opera as render- i ed by a talking machine. He has in his "corner" of the Blue Room at the White House one of the finest of the modern sound reproducing instru ments and will sit by the hour enjoy ing the voices of Caruso, his special favorite, Mme. Tetrazzlnl, and other operatic stars. Another prominent man who delights in twentieth cen tury musical production is Captain Peary of North Polo fame, who amuses himself with a player piano. Representative Nicholas Longworth, who married Alice Roosevelt, is an accomplished violinist. The hobbies of the vice president of the United States are home- —gar- dening and baseball. Mr. Sherman does not play ball himself, but he is i an enthusiastic "fan." There is, how- j ever, one prominent man who is a ball player of genuine ability. This ! is John K. Tener, former congressman ! from Pennsylvania, who has been very prominent in the public eye since his j election as governor of the Keystone i state. Mr. Tener was a professional 1 ball player before he went to con gress and last year he got up that j memorable ball game In which the !

TEN MILLION PEOPLE IN THE CANADIAN WEST BY 1920 "Toronto Star," Dec. 16th, 1910. The prediction is made that before 1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Al berta and liritish Columbia will have ten million people. It is made not by a sanguine Western journal but by that very sober business newspaper, the New York Commercial. It ia based upon actual observation, upon the wheJtt-growlng capacity of the Ca nadian West, and upon the prospects of development following the build ing of railways. The writer shows how the position of leading wheat market of the world passed from Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence to Winnipeg. Canada's wheat-grow ing belt is four times greater than that of the United States, and only five per cent of Canada's western agri cultural area is under cultivation. There are 170,000,000 acres of wheat lands which will make these Western Provinces richer, more populous, more dependable for food supplies than the Western States can ever become. The center of food supremacy will change to Canada, and 25 years more will give this country 40,000,000 popula tion west of Ontario. All these estimates of population are in the nature of guesses, and must not be read too literally. But tho enormous area of wheat-growing land, the rapid construction of railways, and the large volume of immigration are facts which must be recognized. They point to the production of an ever-increasing surplus of wheat and other cereals. However rapidly the urban, the industrial and commercial population of Canada may increase, the increase of home consumption ia hardly likely to keep pace with that of the production of wheat; for a sin gle acre of wheat will provide for the average annual consumption of four people. While production in Canada is thus running ahead of consumption at a prodigious rate, consumption in the United States Is overtaking produc tion, and the surplus for export Is growing smaller year by year. It la true that the limit of actual power to produce wheat is as yet far away. By methods of intensive cultivation, such as prevail In France, the produc tion could be greatly increased. But with the overflowing granary of Can ada so close at hand, it seems likely that our neighbors will begin to Im port from us, turning their own en ergies more largely to other forma of agriculture. It must, be remembered that while the Northern States resemble Canada in climate end products, the resem blance diminishes as you go south ward. The wheat belt gives place to a corn belt, and this again to semi tropical regions producing cotton, to bacco, cane-sugar, orangea and other tropical fruits. The man who secures a farm In Western Canada at tho present time secures an investment better than the bpst of bond of any government or bank. It is no unusual thing for a farmer in Western Canada to realize a profit of from $5 to $lO per acre. There are thousands of free home steads of lfiO acres each still to be had, and particulars can be obtained by writing your nearest Canadian gov ernment agent.
