THE MOST FERTILE SOIL IN
AMERICA.

What is there in this Alberta, through
which the Canadian Pacific Railway
runs, that it should draw trainloads Of
settlers and settlers effects from Idaho
Washington and Oregon? The most
fertile soil in America, wood. water. coal
and climate; that is what they saw.
This Valley of the Saskatchewan seems
to have been rediscovered of late by
some Washington and Idaho men, who
kept things dark until they and their
friends had secured locations immediate.
ly around the few depots already erected
when the line was opened. Then they
sent word of what they had found, and
their friends are going in by the score.
The country, they say, is large and good
throughout, and new stations are prom
lsed as settlement requires them. Then
Maine, Michigan and Vermont caught
on, and sent up delegates to spy out the
land and report. They gave a practical
answer. They wrote, saying they had
examined the country, had selected To-
cations and were coming home to sell
the old place and 60 where it was worth
while farming. The grain and vegetables
they saw cannot be excelled in North
America, and can be equaled in very few
parts. The cattle, horses and sheep
were rolling fat and standing up to their
knees in rich native grasses. Why was
this not all known before2 Because for
generations only the Hudson Bay Com
pany knew it, and they wanted no set
tiers in their fur country; and when
they lost hold of it there was no way of
getting to it. Now two branches of the
Canadian Pacific Railway run through
the richest parts OF it.

Dreams and Position During Sleep.

It would be very interesting to get exact
observations as to the habits Of all the
lower tribes of men with regard to sleep
ing, for it is point upon which good
deal would seem to depend, if, ~ Tylor and
most of our anthropologists believe, mans
first ideas of a spirit world arose from
dreams. We know that most of our do
nestle animals dream, as is proved by their
movements while asleep. and the same
thing has also been observed in monkeys
The effect of the position of the body
during sleep upon the character of our
dreams is too we'll known to require COM
