EXCELLENT CROP PROSPECTS.
Western Canadian Farmers in EX-
celient Spirits.

The reports that have been received
from the farmers of the Canadian
Northwest are exceedingly good. The
June rains, which are looked upon as a
factor in forwarding the wheat crop and
is inestimable in forcing the growth,
have been numerous, and the wheat
fields are now in the highest condition.
The result will be that with the acreage
of this year and the prospect of a big
average, the lot of the Canadian farmer
is a most enviable one. Along the lines
of the railway that nave been construct
ed and those under construction, there
are still a limited number of hOmesteads
that can be had actually free. In other
districts improved farms can be had at
low figures. The opportunity is now Of
fered all who desire to better their con-
dition. to take up lands there. Excellent
climate, good laws, free schools and the
best of social conditions, churches, socie-
ties, etc. For particulars and PAM
phlets and Information as to the best

What Could She Says

There were three morning glOries on

a purple one-tied together with a pref
ty little cotton ribbon Of the kind used
TO faSten new handkerchiefs together.
TIL efiOwers were very fresh and pref

from them to little Leon, who stod near

Strange Food Of the Chinese.

The opinion that the Chinese will eat
almost anything that is eatable is not
altogether wrong. 1t is also a fact that
they sometimes eat that which would
appear to us TO be absolutely UNBEATABLE.
Thus, a recent traveller in China tells
of two cases in which this interesting
people had cooked ana eaten animals
which had been poisoned by s%trychnine.
Til echrOniCler goes on to say: "On
one Of these occasions someone was
thoughtful enough to consult a foreign
CT rs TO the probable results; but, as
the animal was already in the pot, the
~convives could not make up their minds
to foregO the luxury of the feast. and
no harm appeared to come of their in
diligence" 1t should be said that these
strange tastes Of the Chinese are born
of necessity. not of prediction. Food
is scarce in China, and the great mass
of people ere forced to use that which
is thrown aside by people of other
lands.

How to Examine n Watch.

To one who has never studied the
mechanism of a watch, its handspring
or the balance wheel is a mere piece of
metal. He may have looked at the face
of the watch. and while he admireS the
motions of its hands and the time it
keeps, he may have wondered in idle
amaZement as to the character of the
machinery which is concealed within.
Take it to pieces and show bin each
part separately-he will recognize nei-
Their design nor adaptation nor relation
between them; but Put them together,
set them to work, point out the plan or
their movements. and then show him
the result. Now he pCrceives hat it is
all one dcsign-that, Notwithstanding
the lumber of parts, their diverse forms
and various offices and the agents o N
cerned, the whole piece is Of one
thought, the expression of II idea.
He now rightly concludes that when
the handspring was fashioned and tenn
percd. its relation to all the other parts
must have been considered; that the
cogs on this wheel were cut and regu-
interchangeable the ratchets on that.
etc: and his final conclusion will be that
such Il piece of mechanism could not
have been produced by chance: for the
adaptation Of the parts is such as 10
show it to be according to design, and
Obedient to the will Of one intelligence.
