To My Mr.ny Friends:
I am pleased to imke a report to
you of the pleasant visit .my wife and
I had In Western Cnnnda.
We vlhlted the territories of Alberta.
'Asslnlbotn and Saskatchewan, and
found them far surpassing our Imag
ination, but little did I expect to find
such rich, loamy soil, so much of It,
and so uniform In Its level prairie lay.
1 do think tlm soil of Canada ns a
rule equals. It' r.rt txeells. the finest
prairie farm lands of Indiana. These
lands are lmtnens-c In their richness,
and when once the sod in rotted and
pulverized. It Is ns pliable end its
easily cultlvatcu ns Indiana randy
coll.
Western Canada, from my point of
lew. ofTers as tine opportunities for
mixed farming ns any place in my
knowledge. The Ions sunshiny days,
together with the rich soil produce
.very tine wheat, oats, barley, flax nnd
other cereal products. There 18 scarce
lj any attempt to raise corn, except
arly varieties for table use. The
reason Is too short to depend npen
maturing field corn. From the stand
point of getting this land ready for
the plow, 1 must say that I never saw
eucli a vast extent, practically nil
ready, so all that one has to do Is to
hitch up the plow and go to work.
This Is not the case with nil the Cana
dian land, however; some of it hr.s
quite R bit of timber, much of It may
he called brush laud nnd ronie of It
has lovely forest groves, dotted here
and there, thereby covering a hur.dred
and sixty acres.
I have no doubt but that this coun
try excels as a crnzlng or rnnchlr;
country, because they have such rk'h
grass, having and abundance of vain
to keep It fresh. They also have
plenty of water streams, and as a rule
water may be reached at a depth cf
from twenty to forty feet. From
this you see there can be plenty '
hay mown for winter feeding, and
hnve hnd reliable farmers to tell
that their stock will feed on hay
alone, and be ready for market in the
spring. Upon inquiring about the
expense of raising a steer, a farmer
replied that he did not consider It
would cost any more thnn $4.00 or
$0.00 to develop a three-year-old steer,
I truly think Canada offers a fine
opening for a young man or a man
who la renting laud ia Indiana. One
hundred and sixty acres of good black
land will cost you only alu.OO ($10.00)
at the time you enter it, ni.u oy plow
ing and cultivating live . acres each
year for three years, gives you one
hundred and sixty acres of good land
for $10.00.- This land can bo bought
from the railroad companies, private
corporations or the Government for
$3.00 to $4.00 per acre.
From a financial standpoint, I be
lieve that for a series of years (live) a
young man can make $10.00 in Canada,
whereas he would only make $1.00
here, and I feel sure that I spent more
money to got my eighty-acre farm In
iWblte County, Indiana, cultivated,
than it would cost me to cultivate
eight hundred acres in Canada. This
nay seem a strong view to take of
the matter, but when you take into
consideration tho clearing, ditching,
fencing and the expensive breaking in
of the stumps, and then compare tho
expense to thut of land needing only
the breaking, you will conclude thnt
it is not such a wild or exaggerated
statement as you might at erst think.
I enjoyed the balmy, breezy atmos
phere, which was bracing and refresh
ing, and the cool nights which made
It so pleasant for sleep.
On making inquiries regarding the
winters in this country, I learned that
the people never sudor from tho cold,
as the weather is dry and invigorat
ing, and In a great many places farm
ers and herders allow their stock to
run outside the year round.
One great advantage to the settlers
In Western Canada is the free cream
eries established by the Government,
and run exclusively lu the interest of
She farmer.
I visited Thomas Daley, a farmer
near Edmonton, Alberta, who showed
me oats he had raised, some of which
took the first prize at the Paris Ex
position last year. The same yielded
110 bushels to the acre in 1880.
Yours truly,

A new opportunity for women was
discussed nt n meeting of the Kansas
Hiate Association of I'ndertakers by
a woman speaker, who said: "I can

l:nllnh Wnmi'n I.Ike Jewels.
French women care more for the en
cmblo of their gowns, while the Eng
lish women nre particular about cer
tain points. Tho English woman pre
fers line jewels. If less money Is put
Into her frocks. It Is for this reason
that a quantity of French Jewels were
sold recently In England. Among
these was a magnificent pearl neck
lace weighing 1)0.10 grains nnd made
up of 424 magnificent pearls, evenly
matched and of exquisite quality. The
clasp was of a First Empire design, M
The Unlivulonlc Kariing.
A French savant Is protesting vigor
ously agalust the practice nmong civil
ized women of wearing ear-rings. Ho
pronounces It not only a relic of bar
barism, extraordinary and Incon
gruous at this stage of tho world's
progress, but remarkable besides, in
the light of our improved snnitnry
knowledge. F.very wound, or even
abrasion, of the skin Is n danger spot,
thoroughly understood In these days
of germs nnd microbes and wanton
laceration of a healthy part of the
body for tho display of gold and Jew
els is a relic of savage vanity which
tho modern woman Bbould be ashamed
of.

That bplrlt of progress so rife among

While she is taking tho entire course

In the army ns "first aid to tho In

operations nnd applies bandages with

A New Walk.
A' Dublin paper has discovered n
new and hitherto unchronlcled vagary
of fcmlulno fashion. "Tho last few
years," It Bays "have seen tho golf
walk (which was" a lifting stride) and
the hockey walk (which was, and is, a
rolling Bwagger) appear among the
ranks of smart woiue", grow common
and gradually verge toward extinction.
At present there is an entirely new
walk to bo observed in Grafton street
of a morning, at polo in the park and
in the squares about calling hours. It
comprehends a slant forwurd that re
calls the prehistoric Grecian bend of
chignon days, oddly combined with a
backward-tilted neck and shoulders,
and a gait that is not uusuggestlve of
a turkey. The cause is understood to
be in the adoption of a new and strange
apparel, which practically reverses tho
lilies of the feinlniao foriu. Tho dis
comfort is considerable, aatl the cost
large,"
Fashions For Girls and Boys.
The sailor suit looks especially well
made in white duck or pique, with a
broad sailor collar of blue linen or
flannel. Frocks of dotted muslin are
fashionable this year for young girls
as well as older women. The line
polka dots iu white are the smartest,
and there needs to be very little trim
niluff with lace that is, there is no
necessity for lace Insertion; if the
flounces and rutlles are trimmed with
narrow lace, that is all-sufficient, and
the laoe need not be of an expensive
quality. Dotted muslin is not a cheap
laterlal In itself, bocause the coarser
qualities are not a good Investment;
but so much can be saved on the
trimming that In the end the frock can
be counted among the reasonably
cheap ones. For young girl these
frocks look better worn over white
lawn tinder-dresses, but a color may
be used If desired, nnd an entirely
different, effect may thus bo gnlned.
With lv ill-white a variety is made by
the sas. land ribbons thnt nro worn.
These may be of surah, taffeta, or sat
in, if so desired, but. the best of all nre
the soft peati de sole ribbons thnt this
year come lu such attractive shades.

A small girl looks well dressed In
red frocks with red shoes and red
stockings.
Pearl buttons como In mnny fnncy
shapes. Diamonds and almonds, as
they nro called, from tho oval form,
are among the prettiest.
A number of brides tills season have
worn wreaths of flowers under their
tulle veils. Transparent yokes also re
lieve the severity of the bridal gown.
A gnuzo ribbon, an Inch wide, with
a little satiu edge and drawing threads
to draw it up Into a niching is selling
for twenty cents a piece. Tho ribbon
comes in all colors.
Low buckskin shoes with white eye
lots and laced with a gray lacing worn
with gray nnd of course nothing Is
prettier thnn silk stockings make tho
uost attractive of footwear.
A Bhort necklace of alternate coral
aud crystal beads Is pretty. Tho crys
tal beads are flat, as largo In diameter
one wny as tho coral beads, but do not
occupy more than a quarter tlio saco
on tho string.
A beautiful gown worn by a matron
recently was of pale g.-ay crepe do

A veil with which one can take one's
choice of spots has these In tho form
of round dots, set on to the black veil
ing, black on ono side nnd white on
tho other. Ono lany have either out,
and when the veil lies in folds both

Soft, self-colored linens are liked
for country frocks, being made usu
ally with three tier or three flounco
skirts. Each of theso flounces is em
broidered and scalloped around tho
edges. A touch of black In a belt or
rosette is always in evidence.
A pretty tea gown all of black has a
yoke of puttings of the silk low .t the
throat and finished with black lace,
and tho body of the garment falls
from the yoke in accordion pleats to
the lower edge, where there is a not
very wide ruffle trimmed with black

rrysrr'e 100-Foot Fall.
WILLIAM PEYSER, who ex
perienced a fall of almost
one hundred feet from the
twelfth floor of the Wells
building without any serious Injury
resulting, sat nt bis home, 01 Juneau
avenue, a week after the experience
and related the story of his remark
able accident. He hnd Just returned
from a base ball game nt Thlrty-nlntli
and Clvlminn streets, nnd said that
be would have played In the game
himself had his knee not been stiff.
Otherwise Peyser Is In splendid con
dition. "I don't look much like a man who
bns gone through the miracle that I
have, do IV" he naked. "Well, now
that It Is nil over, we niny laugh nt It,
but I'll tell you I wouldn't risk my
life In that way again for nil that
money could buy. The whistle had
Just blown for the nieu to quit for
dinner. I was working on the four
teenth floor nt the northeast corner.
I left my work nnd putting on my
coat walked down the ladder leading
from the fourteenth to tho twelfth
floor. From here down we men who
nre In the employ of the bridge com
pany were In the habit of getting on
a rope next to the elevator shaft nnd
sliding to tho second floor, where nu
mber ladder steod lending to the tlrst
floor. I thought tho lope wan securely
fastened, ns is the custom, In a half
bitch nnd thrown nroutid a column
Just between tho thirteenth nnd four
teenth floors. I wrapped my two feet
nround the rope and grasped It secure
ly. "I started to slide and had gone but
a short distance when I realized that.
I wns fulling. My hands had stopped
moving nlong the rope. What was I
to do? My ilrst thought was, and I
must hnve said It loud enough for
nny one around me to hear. 'Well,
good-by. Bill, It's all oft with yon now.'
Words cannot describe my feelings. I
counted every door an I passed It.
It seemed as though I were a year
In dropping. Down, down, down,
dowu, I went, Into what seemed a
bottomless pit.
"I am told thnt I struck n beam of
Iron on one of the floors and turned
n complete somersault In midair, but
I don't remember that. I do know
that I held on to that rope ns though
for dear life. It seemed to mo ns
though there wns but one chance
left betweeu mo nnd dentil nnd that
was for that rope to catch on one of
the beams. As I reached the third
floor I closed my eyes and waited for
tho shock, but It didn't come. That's
the last I remember of nuythiug until
I woke up from my stupor two days
later nt St. Mary' Hospital.
"I have road the tale of my fall nnd
escnpo In every metropolitan news
paper from New York to San Fran
cisco. I have been asked to appear In
the dime niuHcumg nnd to-day wher
ever I went I was accosted by people,
Bomo of whom I hnd never Been be
fore, who wanted to hear Juiit how II
occurred nud how I fejt after It, nnd
how I feel now. I have told and re
told It nil until I nm nlmoat tongue
tied. I don't like this notoriety. I
am anxious to get bnek to work and
I'll bo at my old Job in a few days. I
can only ndd that I thank my Maker
for my delivery nnd ray that I was
ns near to heaven as I expect to get
for a few yenrs to come."

Whllo lying at boadquurters at
Oreabuk, awaiting the opening of the
enmpaigu, in 1S77, I was wnlkiug one
day with the priuee. when a boy of
sixteen or eighteen approached us, cap
lu hand.
"Now." said the prince, "I'll show
you an interesting thing. This boy Is
the last of a good family. Ills father
and brothers were all killed lu tho
lust battle, and I ordered hint to go
homo aud stay with his mother nud
Bisters, that tho family might not
become extinct."
The boy drew near and stopped be
fore us, his head down, bis cap in
hand.
"What do you want?" asked the
Trince.
"I want to go back to my battalion."
"But," suld the Prince, "you ore tho
last of your line, and I cannot allow
a good family to be lost. You must
go home uud take care of your
mother."
The boy begun to cry bitterly.
"Will you go home quietly and stay
there," said the Prince, "or will you
take a floggiug aud bo allowed to
fight?"
The boy thought for a moment. A
flogging, he knew well, is the deepest
dlsgraco that cau befall a Montenegrin.
"Well," he broke out. "since it isn't
for atenllng I'll be flogged."
"No." said the Prince, "you must g
home."
Then the boy broke down utterly.
"But," he cried, "I wnnt to avenge
my fnlher nnd brothers!"
He went awny, still crying, nnd the
rrlnce snld: "In spite of all this,
be will be in the next bnttle."

their dnnger tltey were surrounded
by the hlsslug, nngry reptiles.
Mrs. Schcrr nnd Miss Demits fled

Flgh.lng for her life with wildcats
nnd irounled on a ruuawny horse,
Mary Sumter, a pretty Bell County

of the cats had sunk Its teeth Into the

yards from the store the horse swerved
and fell, throwing the girl nnd the two
cats to the earth. Half a dozen meu,
who were lontlng on the porch, rushed
to the girl's assistance, nnd Bho was
borne Into the house more dead thnn

The experience sho will remember

An Error ol ICitur
Among the more Interesting exam
ple of uncommon British birds nt the
London oo Is n crossbill, thnt soed
entlng fowl which ltnlToti stigmatised
ns being "nu error nnd n defect In tin
tnre." But Buffoon only dwelt upon
the odd wny In which the upper and
lower benk cross each other obliquely,
and wns not awnre thnt this appar
ently deformed bill is exceedingly nor
vlcenblo In extrnctlng tile seeds of
apples nnd pines, upon which tho
crossbill chiefly feeds. The speci
men nt the Zoo Is of n greenish yellow
hue, but tho full-dressed mule bird Is
bright red, which color, together with
Itscrossed bill, bits been explained In
a mediaeval legend ns due to Its t
temps to draw out the nails from the
cross.
