haustible fertility and well watered,
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
such a country making more than a bare
living. Agriculture in such country is
like mining simply taking gold from
the soil in the shape of the finer grades
of wheat and other cereals, and it pos
sesses the great advantage over mining
that the amount of actual work neces-
sary to make it pay is comparatively
very small.
Upon the great fertile prairies of West
ern Canada, where millions of acres of
the richest land in the world are COM
prised 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
nifcent 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
80 to SO bushels per acre, and where
oats yielded frequently rs bushels per
acre Of choice grain. Upon one farm of
1880 acres, the crop of wheat and oats
was close to sc. 900 bushels. and of this
the first lot of 10000 bushels of wheat
was sold for Sic and soc per bushel.
Close beside this large farm was a 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 1000 bushels and the quality
was SO good that he got s5c 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-
senting nearly every nation. Western
Canada offers to the settler most
favorable chance to succeed among
friends or fellow countrymen of his own.

DEALING WITH THE WEIRD

Difficulties of the Writers of Modern Ghost
Stories.
In the fiction of to-day there is moth
Ing more curious IN its relation to the
attitude Of present thought and opini on
than the ghost story. Moves of real
life ly reflect their surroundings
without loss Of Their power; the more
practical and matorialistic side of life
finds appropriate expression IN realism,
while the imaginative is represented in
idealism. Novels whic have basis in
the natural are accepted and under
stood; but the stories which deal with
the supernatural are obliged to en-
counter SO much skeptcism that it is no
wonder that the tellers Of ghost stories
are often driven to their W.T. is ends to
invent methods for holding the atten-
ton of the public and for calling forth
the emotions of wonder. horror and sur
prise which are demanded from regu-
lation story of the kind.
The only race in this country which
which seems to have genuine bel eff
in ghosts is the American Indian. AT
the present time the superstition of the
coming of the ghosts is being revived
with prospects of serious consequences;
for the Indian, under the influence of
delusion Of the kind. is ready to fall
upon agencies and commit the widest
acts 1t will be remem bored that not
long ago tho Crows believed that the re-
suits Of a certain medicine, ta<en with
incantations, would render them i'm
pervious to the bullets OF the L n ted
States troops, and under this delusion
had the Grow agency practically their
possession until the United States put
an end to their belief The Indian
ghost story still retains it's power
and interest but the tale Of civilization
is becoming more and more unsatlsfy-
ing. Among the ghost stories wri item
for the hol days, which are supposed to
be read before the evening fire in the
coziness of bright room on a winters
night the majority take their lead from
the psychological Investigations and re-
search of modern days. Mediums. mes
merists, and unusual happenings are
brought into the tales; the metaphysical
conditions of mind are worked upon
The refinements of psychological sug-
gestiOn are the chief material, and a
novelty of moral shocks" is aimed at
The ghost itself is subordinate to the
effect produced upon the mind by it's
supposed appearance. Usually it is the
spirit of person who has been wronged
during lifetime by the unhappy Char
acter haunted, and who becomes very
unpleasant avenger.
The three great masters in this |
country of the mysterious and weird, |
Poe, Hawthorne and Hoffman had the |
advantage of working with compare
t vely new material and of writing be- |
fore the age of scientific inventions. |
The writer's of the present are dealing |
with the unsubstantial as best they can,
and perhaps are not to be blamed for
failing to produce belief in their ghosts
Yet there are superstitions in modern
times which might be utilized, and it
is said that the most material Of all
modern inventions, the railroad. has
gathered about it strange number Of
legends These would produce ghost
stories without the ghost, a truly mod
ern discovery.-Boston Journal.
