and that earth is weighed when the

fact that a very large part Of the

Slowing Down.

A year ago it was hopefully given
out that the Canada Pacific railway
would he completed by the end Of
1894 at furthest The road at the
close OF last year had been finished
and put In running condition from
Winnepeg to the crossing Of the
south fork Of the Saskatchewan,
which is about the half-way-point
between winnepeg and the Rocky
mountains. It is InOw officially an
nOunced MAY 5th) by Sir Charles
Tupper, the Minister Of railways and
canals, that the road will be COM
pleted and in running order from
Montreal, on the st. Lawrence river,
to Port Moody, in British Columbia,
by the end Of the year 1856. II the
first announcement indicated quick,
this last one implies rather slow,
work. The entire length Of the
completed road will he 2,S7j miles.
OF this l,i79 were In running con.
ditiOn ON the Ist Of April, 1893, leav-
ing 1896 miles yet to construct,
whereof a considerable part is graded
and all of it surveyed. As the work
is going ON at both ends and in the
middle, one would think the COM
pany ought to lay down at least $50
miles Of track n year and have the
road done in less than two years
from this date. The Central and
Union Pacific together averaged over
two and half miles a day for the
last year Of their construction. But
they had much larger working
force employed than the Canada Pa.
cific. 1t Is probable that this COM
pany is cramped and stinted for
labor in grading. Much Of their
labor Is Chinese, and they did not
secure all they needed before the I'M
migration Of that race stopped. Mr..
Willard Of the Northern Pacific gives
out that his road will he finished
from end to end by the lst Of Sep
tember this year. II 80, large labor
force will be released from that COM
pany and may he secured by the
Canada Pacific to hasten its work.
There is no want Of money. The
company l. one warlA. For some
s,OOO,OOO acres Of iirst-class agricul-
tuHI land already patented to it by
the Dominion Government it has
realized about S35,O0o,OOO, and he
sides this land subsidy it has received
from the gnvernmcntovcrs si,j00,OOO
in cash. There still remain 1900
ono acres Of land and large amount
Of cash subsidy to he received as the
work progresses, and aside from all
this they have. equal resources in
stock.-.S f. Chronicle.

The Cheek-Reln.

When you compel a horse tO con-
tract the muscles just under the top
Of the collar, in order to sustain the
head foot, more or less, above Its
natural place, and then hold them
thus contracted, the strain on these
muscles soon prOduce great harm.
II you do not believe It, watch the
animal am sure you cannot mis-
understand that face. See him carTy
his head around on one side, and
the away around on the other side !
Now in a moment you will see him
throw his nose up in front as high a.
he can three or feur times. That
struggle for relief he continues all
day long. When you take of the
check he will hang down his head
low and show in his face a sense Of
relief which / am sure you cannot
misunderstood. The long strain
wastes the muscles and produces
that ugly hollow which is now so
common just under the collar

Northern Pacific shops.

An examination Of the various de-
partmcnts Of the Northern Pacific
Iilroad shops in this city shows that
everything Is working smoothly and
prOSperOusly. II need hardly he
stated either that the various forces
are rather outdoing their former
work in manufacturing, though the
forCe remains about the same. Three
or four complete cars-sOmctimes
upwards Of that numler--are being
turned out each day, and as fast as
they are manufactured they are sent
out to the different divisions, usually
east Of the mountains. A large
stationary, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. en-
gine, completed here this week, was
sent out to the shops at Spraguc yes
tcrday morning. A locomotive en-
gine now in the shop here will be
completed next week. In the manu-
facture Of stock and fiat ears perhaps
few shops on the upper Pacific coast
can make better showing. The
cars are all made Of first class ma
terial, and the shops being centrally
located, they can be sent at once to
the points where needed for immed-
late use.
Since the last report printed in the
Lcdgcr, very large number Of all
kinds Of cars have been consigned to
different divisions. Twenty or more
fiat ears and large number Of stock,
and some freight and mail cars are
included in this number. There are
now about one dozen fiat cars on
hand IN the yard. -Four for stock
are also completed and three more
are in the shops and will not he
finished for day or two. The frame
work for large pay car has been put
together and workmen are now busy
In completing it. When this is fif-
ally done the car will be one Of the
best yet manufactured.
Large lots Of supplies consisting Of
oils, paints, nuts, bolts, washers,
hose, CLUES and all the heavy hard
ware used in car manufacturing, are
constantly arriving by steamer.
Quite a cargo Of supplies was received
this week. They are shipped by
steamer direct, either from New
York or san Francisco. In the past,
both cities have contributed largely
In furnishing these supplies. II Is
the intention In about three weeks
to make u speciality Of mnnufactur-
ing caboOses, and large lot Of them
may be expected. Every facility
will he afforded for rapid work, and
the car manufactured will probably
be considerable Of increase over the
present. nIcoRd Ledger.

About Canary Birds.

The,c0st Of keeping canary birds Is
seldom thought Of The canary is
the pet bird Of the rich and the poor
1t Is everywhere, and its keeping In
wolves an immense amount OfmOney
in the aggregate. A gentleman wfo
has for several years been extensive
ly engaged In the trade Of bird seed,
and who Is excellent authority, In
forms US that he has the statistics to
prove that there are now fully H.
OOO, 600 Of these pets In this country.
Each bird will use twelve pounds Of
seed per year, II not Overfed, and,
fortunately for them, they generally
get to much. Thus 1t takes lGS,OO0,-
OOO pound Of seed to feed them
through year, worth at least Sli,-
OOO, 900. Besides this seed, us any
one knows, is the sugar, the crack
erS, the eggs and the thousand and
Ore things that different keepers
