A Wise Mule.

Among our pack-mules was one who
on a fishing trip several years before
had visited this very locality in which
we were encamped; but she had come
the previous time the straight route
over the mountains. What was our
amazement, one morning, to find this
mule gone, and with her two of her
comrades whom she had lead astray.
Hunt high and hunt low we could not
find them, and after wasting several
days in fruitless search went home. Up.
on arrival there we were surprised
and delighted to find that the mules
had proceeded Us. The old mule had
at once recognized her previous camp
ing place, changed though 1t must
have been by severe storms to which
this region is subject, and had deter.
mined inner wise old head to strike out
Immediately, without waiting for the
formality of carrying Il pack And
this she and her companions, ill-ad-
vised, but evidently not misguided,
did; not following the trails, for we
had inspected them, but leading
through the dark and confusing for
ests, guided by the old mule. as stright
as though directed by the answering
needle of magnetic compass.

much has been said and written OF
Western Canada, and the new provinces
forming it, he has been led to give the
subject some inquiry, and he has been
shown letters written to the Canadian
government from delegates sent out by
friends to inspect the country.
One of these delegates who was sent
to Western Canada says: I'm under
taking to give a description I fear
shall not be able to give it justice, for
l hardly know where to begin or when
to end. For a plea for my judgment,
l will assume, for an illustration, the
experience of man who went from
place to place in search of wife, and
finding SO many Of good qualities and
attractions, was unable to determine
which to choose, so in looking for a
home in Western Canada l like the
country we'll, and two of my boys are
going this fall Ohey have since gone,
and each has a homesteaO, where l
am satisfied they will do we'll. The
lands which l have seen are far supe-
rior in every respect and beyond my
expectations. Lakes and streams to be
found in all districts abound with innu-
merable kinds Of water fowl, while fish
are very abundant On all sides we see
innumerable stacks of grain, proving
beyond doubt the fertility of the soil.
On either side of the track can be seen
in addition to the grain herds Of cattle,
horses and flocks of sheep. l have
travelled over a great portion Of the
Western states and have seen nothing
to compare with this country. One
hundred and sixty acres of land are
given free to actual settlers, and | saw
cases where as high as $40 per acre had
been cleared in one year. l do not wish
to advise anyone, but as for myself I
shall leave as soon as l can arrange my
affairs" The agents of the Canadian
Government are now at work organi-
zing excursion parties, and the Depart
ment of the Interior at Ottawa, Canada,
will be pleased to supply the informa-
ton to those who are not within reach
of an agent.

ter of gayety and fashionable life on
the continent. Partisan women are
not beautiful. They are animated,
chic" and brilliant. Faultlessness IN
dress, added to certain dash ana
piquancy of manner, has always mace
up for defects of form and feature. The
Viennese women, on the contrary, are
magnificent specimens of womanhoou'
The mixed blood of Magyars, Czechs,
Poles and Roumanians has produced

hair, large, melting eyes. oval faces OF
warm Southern coloring and magnih-
Gently developed figures. These Vi
ennese women have a tremendous
chic" and style. Probably no other
court in the world can boast such
number of what might be termed
"high-stepping" women as the Hof-
burg of Vienna. They combine the
mettle and the vim Of the North with
the languorous charm which belongs
to the Southern races.
In Central Germany the women or

of being strait laced. Vienna is gay,
and its social code is in harmony with
the pleasure-loving instincts of its
mixed population. The free, half wild
customs of the wild peninsula, COM
posed of the sovereignties of Servia,
Bulgaria and Roumania, have broken
down the restraints of social life 10
the north. Five years ago it was SAID
that at these three courts there was
not a prominent man or woman who
had not been divorced at least once.
The influence of such license is clearly
traced in the numerous scandals which
are constantly finding their way into
print out of the still greater number
which are only whispered about. For
example, the Archduke Rudolph was
killed at Meyerling several years ago,
at his country house, after his rela-
lions to the Baroness Vetsera had be-
come the talk of every court circle in
Europe The Archduchess Steffini, his
widow, has been conspicuous in sew
eral delicate affairs in and around the
capital. In one of these affairs an
officer horse-whipped a civilian who
had gossiped too indiscreetly of the
Archduchess' secrets, which he had
been enabled to find out by reason Of
his high position at court. 1t is inter
esting to note that nearly all the great
French writer's acknowledged the
charm of Viennese women. Nor is
the Vienna type of beauty confined to
the Polish and Czech or to that collec"
ton of many languages included in
the Hofburg nobility. The working
girls, who come to town to exchange
the wages of 20 cents day in the
country for 80 or 40 cents in the city,
are scarcely less attractive in face and
figure. They are to be seen in the
early morning as they make their way
to work, and in the evening at the
dance halls which sprinkle the byways
of Vienna and it's suburbs. These girls
lead an intense life of toll and semi
starvation, with full abandonment in
their leisure hours to those frivolities
which have given Vienna a reputation

Prevention is better than cure" A
bottle of DR.. Ayers Cherry Pectoral kept
in the house, will efectually prevent the
roofing of a cold and its consequent deveI-

This remedy has no equal in Bronchial

yielded to its use. 1t is equally effective
for Asthma, Group, Whooping Cough, and
every disease that attacks the throat or
lungs. For years DR.. Ayers Cherry Pee

increasing demand for a smaller sized
package the remedy can now be obtained
in half-size bottles, at half price-so cents.

In Al Sorts of Weather.

He cried the best physicians but without
being benefited and he used several specific
rheumatic cures, but was not helped. About
one year and six months ago he read IN
this paper of a case somewhat similar to
his which was cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the first box he felt some
what better, and after using three boxes,
the pains entirely disappeared, the dizzi-
ness left him, and he has now for over
year been entirely. free from all his former
trouble and enjoys better health than he
has had since his boyhood.
He is loud in his praises of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and will gladly
corroborate the above statements. His post

Canada's mineral wealth is gradually

ture this development is likely to be
carried forward much more rapidly
than in the past. The reports received
from the Cheticamp gold districts Of

that very rich has been uncovered in
large quantities. The assayed value is
over double that first found, and it
was considered rich. Sinking on the

No class Of people is 30 liable to throat
trouble as the great class who make up the
Gospel ministry. The strain put upon the
vocal organs by constant exercise; the
sudden change from heated building TO
the cool air when the vocal organs are in
a state of complete relaxation; the fact
that a minister feels iinpelled to use his
voice when actors and lecturers would
take the needed rest these are among the
reasons why "Clergymen's sore throat"
is known as a special disease. The Rev.
E. M. Brawley, D. D., District Secretary OF
the American Baptist Publication Society,

of an experience of his own which is proh-

From the Industrial Nc,rs, Jackson, Mich.
The subject of this sketch is fifty-six years
of age, and actively engaged in farming.
When seventeen years old he hurt his
shoulder and few years after, commenced
to have rheumatic pains in it. On taking
slight cold or the least strain, sometimes
without any apparent cause whatever, the
trouble would start and he would suffer
the most excruciating pains.
He suffered for over thirty years, and the
last decade has suffered so much that he
was unable to do any work. To this the
frequent occurrences of dizzy spells were
added, making him almost helpless IN
