slowly to the boil and skim the broth
very carefully; then add salt. and let

RAPIDLY the DEVELOPMENT of a new terri
tory follows public knowledge of its
resources in these go-ahead days. A
given portion of country may be SEEM
ingly bowling wilderness to-day, yet
twelve months hence the hardy pioneers
of settlement will be firmly established
in it, and five years hence the wilder
ness is gone forever, transformed into
an agricultural region of inestimable
value.
This story has been told over and
over again upon the American CONT
nent, and is now being repeated once
more upon the great fertile prairies of
Western Canada, where the millions of
acres of valuable lands open for settle
ment are attracting an ever-increasing
army of colonists from every civilized
portion of the Globe.
Only few years ago the prairies of
Western Canada were simply a vast
game range, yet to-day towns, villages,
settlements, farms and ranches are dot
ted all over what is unquestionably one
of the Y cry finest agricultural sections
of this continent. The prairie region
of Canada extends from the eastern
boundary of Manitoba westward to the
foothills of the Rocky Mountains, a
distance, roughly speaking, of about one
thousand miles. Within this vast ex-
panse are comprised the great wheat
province of Manitoba, the fat lands of
Assiniboia and the noble pastures of
Alberta, Offering homes to all who
choose to claim them, and unrivalled
facilities for following every branch of
agriculture with profit. The official
crop returns for 1890 are splendid testi-
mony of the capabilities of these natur-
al grain fields and pastures, and no
matter whether the newcomer prefers
horse, cattle or sheep raising, wheat
growing, mixed or dairy farming, he
can easily find land admirably suited
to his purpose within these broad limits
and simply for the trouble of selecting
for himself what appears to be the
desirable locality.

| Some of the ornaments for evening
coiffures, just over from Paris, are
! pretty. They are made of ostrich
| feathers, and are small and rather fiat,
with a few aigrette feathers and steel
beads. pearls and shine stones mixed
in with them. A tiny bow of ribbon in
the same tint finishes the ornament at
the bottom, and the whole is mounted
firmly on small two-pronged shell
hairpin all ready to be thrust into the
hair. These come in blue. pink, white,
black etc, and are made of mara bout
feathers, also in the same small fan
shapes.
Bandeaux. filletS and coronets for the
hair are made of rhine stones or pearls.
They vary in size from the single line
of tiny pearls or brilliants to the large
coronet with standing points of large
stones. gorgeous enough for Queen Vic
herself. One of the prettiest was a
single line of small pearls waved in
small waves: two lines of this sort are
sometimes showed twisted together
also.
The shell ornaments. or shell with
gold. silver or pearl tops, are lovelier
than ever. The fin de steele" style is
of shell with a beautifully-carved top
and the lower part tapering to a dagger
like point. which is easier to thrust into
the hair with good effect than are those
which have teeth like a comb.-Boston

The Indians have q neat way of fixing
it. This Rain-in-the-face, Spotted Tail,
Man-afraid- of-his-horses, is good enough
to palm off on the whites, but each In
dian has another name the whites never
hear. First, he is named after his moth
er's gems or family. There are only halt
dozen each. Snake, Wolf, Turtle,
Bear, Eagle and so on. You remember
how, in The Last of the Mohicans, the
young Delaware chief was found to have
a tortoise tattooed on his breast; that
gave his family. He was Turtle, just
as the bulk of the Scotch are divided
into a few clans the Stewards, Camp
bells Camerons, McGregors and others.
To tho Indians family name is attached
another, but it would be bad medicine
TO have it spoken outside the family
.srcle, and give some of his enemies a
csance to work spells and hocdoo him.
The Spotted Tail business is nom de
chasse de guerre, or de toot, which gets
hitched on in later life. Washington
