SOME QUEER DISHES.

Yarns Told by Clubmen Who Dine Out.
The funniest bachelor dinner yer
parlouk Of" said weli-known club man
the other evening, II ate one night
with married friend OF minc in the
suburbs, whose wife was away. Ny
host, knowing that I was something Of
gourmand, spread himself for the &C.
casion, as ! plainly could SEQ. The
rerast furnished was evidently Of un-
usual ella borHteness, and it went fairly
we'll until the >alad camo on. could
no. eat any of that after the first mouth
full. wh CHI managed with difficulty to
swallow. Observing that ! refrain
from the dish, my entertainer said:
Vim afraid you don't find tbis frs
rate
1t has a peculiar flavor admit
ted, reluctantly.
"'Ah.' replied my friend, who had
finished, with apparent gusto, his own
help of the salad, y was afraid that it
might not prove satisfactory. Icu see,
there was no olive oil in tho house, and
having nothing better on hand for the
purpose, ! used castor OIL for the drcss-
ing
''lle did not appear at all EN- bar
rassed in making this Statements but
what broke him up CENTRALLY for the
moment was tho appearance at desert
OF \ hunk Of ordinary groccs'> cheese,
Why! he exclaimed, addressing the
servant, 'whe1e is tho RoQucfort that
ordered sc ut homo to-day"
'Negorra, sir, responded the hand
maid, ii You name TIE chase that come
this afternoon from tho store, it was
that n1oldy that it had to be thrown
away. and SENT back to tho grocery
for this that is nico aud fresh.''
The other men in the little party in
the club window smiled ]anguidlv at
the story, but tho bald-headeu member
said:
"Spoaking OF dining out reminds me
Of a repa~t That enjoyed very much
the other day in a small but very
excellent restaurant here in town.
What stvuck me particularly on the
occn~ion speak OF was the exceptional
quality Of tho lobster salad There
as evidently garlic in it, but that es-
Unable vegetAh|o was so arlistically
infused that lustead of ,uuucal ting
an actual taste Of garlic, it contributed
an indescrihah|e and underlined acccnlu~
alton to the flavor OF the dish asked
that the chef be summoned, ana de-
manded Of him how he was allie to use
garlic with such marvel Gus uelicacV and
effectiveness. Tic replied:
1.-The way do is to chew up 3 small
bulb Of garlic, and when the d h is be-
ing stirred breathe very gently upon
the mixture. That gives the susges-

NEVER A FAILURE.
The Red River Valley OF
Minnesota and
North Dakota
has
never
had failure
Of crops.
It produced 80, 600, 900
bushels of wheat
besides other cereals in 1890.
Farms can be had
on the
crop plan, or: long time
cash payments.
It is not an uncommon thing
to pay for a farm
from the proceeds of
one crop.
It has all of the advantages
of an old country in
the shape Of school. church,
market, postal and railway facilities,
and all the chances of
anew country in
the way of
cheap lands, rich soil, and
increase i'll values.
It is one of the most
fertile and promising
regions in America
not yet fully occupied
In the rush to the far
west, however,
this rich valley has
been overlooked.
It has room for q

GOLD FROM EARM-LANDS.

hnnstibIe fertility and well WaNceo.
and at the same time easily worked. be-
ing prepared by nature for the plow, You
may reasonably expect to find farming
profitable occupation and the farmers IN
snch a country making more than a bare
living. Agriculture in such country IS
like minil1g~bimp1y taking gold from
the soil in the shape Of the finer grades
Of wheat and other cereals, and 1t pos
sesses the great advantage over mining
that the amount Of actual work neces-
sary 10 make it pay is comparatively
very small.
Upon the great fertile prairics Of Vest
ern Canada where millions Of acres OF
the richest land in the world are com
prisel within the Provinces Of Mani
itoba. Assiniboia, Alberta, etc, settlers,
old and new, have simply taken gold
from the ground in the shape Of mag
nihcent crops for the season OF 1890.
Their gold is golden grain, but it
yields as sure returns as any metal ever
mined. The writer visited farm after
farm in Manitoba the past season
where the yield Of wheat averaged from
oats yielded frequently rs bushels per
acre of choice grain. Upon one farm OF
1,s0o acres, the crop OF wheat and oats
was close to GO. 900 bushels, and Of this
the first lot Of go 900 bushels of wheat
was sold for SAC and soc per bushel-
Close beside this large farm was small
one from which the owner had taken
his first crop. He had started with NO
capital the year before, yet his crop OF
wheat was /, 600 bushels and the quality
was 50 good that he got 85c per bushel
for it, one cent a bushel more than his
wealthy neighbor, which meant just
$3.50 for his first season in wheat alone.
With climate peculiarly adapted to
grain growing, and a. population repre-
senuing nearly every nation, Western
Canada offers to the settler a most
favorable chance to succeed among
friends or fellow countrymen OF his own.

1t may he said that 1t is II matter Of
suiall consequence whether a river is
call by one name or by another. Its
volume Of water is not affected by its
name, and for all practical purposes 1t
is a matter Of indifference whether the
name is appropriate and musical in
sound or whether 1T is inappropriate

that rivers and other natural objects
