Those people who are always COM
planning Of the inaccuracy of newspaper
writers ought TO he impressed with this
story of II. de Blowitz, the famous cor
respondent Of the London Times, which
| heard the other day from an American
writer who knows the journalist init
mately: One night while | was visiting
Blowitz," says my informant, "a bit Of
news came TO him by wire. It consisted
of only few lines, and supposed of
course that he would simply wire it on
to his paper and do nothing more about
it, but instead of that he took a cab and
drove all over Paris, from the house Of
this statesman to that, in order to verify
the report. 1t was midnight before he
was satisfied that the report was authen-
tic and allowed it to be Gispatched.-

THE MOST FERTILE SOIL IN
AMERICA.

What is there in this Alberta, through
which the Canadian Pacific Railway
runs, that it should draw tranloads oi
settlers and settlers effects from Idaho.
Washington and Oregon? The most
fertile soil in America, wood, water, coal
and climate; that is what they say.
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
y 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 practical
answer. They wrote, saying they had
examined the country, had selected To-
cations and were coming home to sell
the old place and 90 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 before? 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.

A curious postscript was once added to a
letter by General Israel Putnam. A spy
named Palmer, sent by Sir Henry Clinton,
the British commander had been detected
furtively collecting information of the
force and condition of the post at Peekskill,
and had undergone a military trial. A
vessel Of war came up the Hudson in all
haste and landed flag of truce at Yer
planck's Point, by which a message was
transmitted to Putnam from Clinton
claiming the said Palmer as lieutenant
in the British service Putnam replied:
HEADQUARTERS, 7th August l777.
Edward Palmer, an officer in the enemy's
service, was taken as spy lurking within
our lines. He has been tried as spy and
shall be executed as spy, and the flag is
ordered to depart Immediately.

P.S.-He has accordingly been executed.

THE SWINGING GATE

The twilight Is full OF sadness
And the wind, In its coat ut gray,
Skulks like wolf thru' the shadows
And will not be scared away.
Down at the foot of the garden
The gate is swinging slow,
As If Invisible footsteps
Were passing to and fro.
And 1t seems to me, in my musIng.
They are feet of my coming fate,
That will find their way to my threshold
And pass it like the gate.
Oh, say, do ye bring good tidings,
Ge unseen mesSeugersi
Or Is It sorrow and boding
OF future griefs and cares?
The gate swings slowly, slowly.
And the shutters creak and start;
sit in the glowing lamp light,
But a shadow fills my heart.

Less than so Oyears ago there was really
no postal system in this country. Pre-
vious to lS47 the mails were carried by
private firms, and rates varied according
to distance. Carriers often travelled on
foot or horseback. and the progress was
slow. In 1916 some Of the post Offices
issued stamps of their own, called PRO
visional issues" The adhesive stamp
was first used in this country in l841,
and prepayment was made compulsory
in 1856. In 1868 the stamp containing
the head Of Andrew Jackson was issued.
and from then until 1885 the style
adopted contained the protiles of presi-
dents of the United States. Public Opir-

Cicero.

Cardinal Newman was n master in the
art of writing English In one of his pub
lished letters he expressed the following
opinion:
"As to patterns for imitation, the only
master Of style ever had is Cicero;
think | owe a great deal to him, and, so far
as know, to no one else"
Bishop Wordsworth, of ST. Andrews, an,
other mastery writer Of English, says in
his autobiography:
$50 far as | have derived benefit from
any one in the matter of composition, it
has been from Cicero.
Il do not underrate the advantage of Il
combined study of authors such as Addi,
son, Swift, Bolingbroke, Johnson, Burke
Hume, Gibbon, Macaulay and, | may add
Horace Walpole; but must repeat that
believe got more good, not only in writ
ing Latin, but for writing English, from
reading Cicero and learning him by heart,
than from any other source. ."-Youth's

The Best Kind OF Baskets.

A general mistake is made about baskets
most people supposing that the white will.
low basket is the best 1t looks best, but
it is by no means the strongest. The white
willow slips are cut in the fall and kept
green all winter by packing their stubs in
wet sand or water, and when spring comes
the bark peels off with twist of the hand.
The buff baskets, on the contrary, are made
from dried willow slips, which have been
steamed and then peeled. While not so
handsome, they are much stronger and will
wear far longer than the white New York

BONES Ur A DEPARTED RACE.
Found in Two Large Burial Places in Ne
 braska-Men of Great Stature.

braska-Men of Great Stature.
 A farmer blowing near Calhoun, Neb., recently turned up human skull, and search revealed large number of other skulls, besides bones. These relics were those of a powerful race, and who they were is unknown. The skulls are large, but the forehead is extremely low. An Omaha World-Her- aid reporter visited the place, and measurement was taken of one of the lower jaws found and compared with the dimensions taken of one of the men on the field. The relics jaw was found to be an inch larger each way, in proportion, than that of the person whose measurement had been taken, although he was six feet three inches in height, weighed nearly two hun dred pounds and had unusually large jaws. The measurement of the lower maxillary found is as follows: Depth, four inches; width of the upper ex- tremities, five and half inches; width inside measure from wisdom tooth to wisdom tooth, two and fourth inches; total length of jaw, five and a fourth inches. The upper was fully as large, while the teeth resembled those of a COW more than those of a human be- ing. They were badly worn and would go to show that the owner ate meat, presumably buffalo, a great deal. A dentist when shown the teeth said that they were much larger than any of those of white person living in this age.
 A theory advanced is that these are the remains of some Mandan Indians, who were the earliest settlers of this part of the country, but were ulti- mately exterminated by the Sioux. The size of these bones would explode this theory, however, as the Mandans were not large race. Another theory is that they are, perhaps, the remains of northwestern Indians who were killed by another tribe. This tribe were large in stature, according to tra- dition, many being six feet and more in height.
 The reporter found about fifty feet from the location of this trench an- other in which were buried the remains of five grown persons and one infant. A spade piled to the earth soon brought to view the remains of six human beings. These skulls were smaller and not of such extraordinary think ness as those exhumed from the first trench. They also bore the appearance ofhaving lain in the ground for longer period, as they would crumble apart of their own weight, while those first dis covered were in a fair state of preser- yation. The cavities of the skulls had become filled with dirt, and it was only with great care in handling that very fair specimen was. preserved. The trench was only three feet square and about two feet deep. In order to place human body into so small grave it must have been fearfully mutilated. When found the arms were over the head, while the tibia and fbia were found under all. The skulls were also found in different positions, some being straight up and down, while oth- CTS were lying face up and some with the face down.
 No pottery, metal or the like was found by which they could be classed with the mound builders.

Delicate Surgical Operation Performed on
 Suffering Woman.
 A few days ago a party of Utica la dies went to the St. Lawrence for a ten days stay. One night recently two gentlemen relatives hied themselves away to the river to stay over Satur- day and Sunday. Saturday afternoon the gentlemen went fishing, and their success was abundant, for they car ried back to the little cottage dozens of excellent fish. In the morning the breakfast was made very inviting by the serving up of fine mess of the fish caught the night before.
 According to the Utica Herald, one of the young ladies in the party had the misfortune, while eating her break fast, to get a small fish bone in her throat. It did not strangle her, but gave her considerable discomfort, and every effort to dislodge it failed. Fears were entertained that unless the bone was taken out it would cause infam- nation, and so the sufferer was taken in rowboat and a visit made to a neighboring island in search of assist ance. The bone could be seen just back of the tonsils, but how to get at it was the question. In the search for aid dentist was found, but he had no instruments with which to perform the operation. At length, as trial, visit was made to rather pretentious cot tage on one of the islands where some wealthy people were staying, and though they searched they could find nothing among their household uten- sils that could be used for the purpose of fishing for the bone.
 'Why wouldn't curling iron do?' suddenly asked one of the young ladies, with fash of inspiration in her eyes.
 ''Why not, indeed?" was in the mind of everybody. And then the wonder was why this had not been thought o1 before.
 A curling iron was procured, and though little nervousness was exhib ited on the part of the operator-tht sufferers brother-he soon succeeded in catching the bone between the jaw. of the instrument and drawing it out.
 Then everybody laughed and all were happy.

A Queer Character.

Abel Haywood, ex-mayor of Man chester, England, who died the other day, was second Hampden in his re- sistance to what he deemed tyranny. His obstinate attempt to sell news papers without the government stamp, which he regarded as 8 tax upon in- formation, cost him term of impris- onment and a good deal of money, but killed the stamp law. He was great admirer of Oliver Cromwell, and pre- sented two statues of the Protector to the city, one of them being erected near the principal railway station and the other in the town hall.
