CANADA AT OMAHA.

In the international hall at the
Trans Mississippi exposition the larg-
est exhibit is that of the Dominion Of
Canada. 1t occupies 5000 feet of floor
space and 5000 feet of wall space, COW
cred with the best the country can pro-
duce. 1t is an agricultural, mineral,
forestry and dairy exhibit combined.
Commissioner Myers says the Do
minion can supply the breadstuffs for
all Of the nations of the earth. Not
only wheat, but oats, barley, rye, corn
and all Of the cereals known to the
United States grow and flourish in
every locality, yielding abundantly.
The corn is as large as that grown
further south the small grain has a
lighter color, the berry being more
plump and larger.
The dairy business of Canada has
grown with greAt rapidity during the
past few years. Last years shipment
AZ kutter to Great Britain aggregated
AS000, 900 pounds, valued at $4,000, 900
Along with the butter goes the cheese
which last year amounted to 165,00O,.
900 pounds. valued at $4,000, 900
Honey and maple sugar are two othel
staple products of Canada shown ii
the exhibit.
The lumber exhibit is interesting a
we'll as instructive, both on account o
the numerous samples and the charac
ter OF the exhibits There are SOM
oak, pine. poplar, birch, hickory, wal
NUT, maple, cedar, and q score of othe
varieties of the woods of the forest
One Of the most interesting is sla1
cut from log of hard pine. 1t Is 81,
feet across and Mr.. Myers vouches TO-
the statement that the tree from which
this plank came measured $50 feet t,
the first limb. In addition to this, HI
declares that there are millions O.
acres of pine forests in the north O
the Dominion that have never been Wis
tied by the chopper.
A great showing of apples, pears
plums and other fruit is also made.
In grasses there is no end to the dis
play. There are all the varietie!
grown in the United States, both tam,
and wild, and the assertion is mad,
that some Of them produce as high a.
three tons per acre.
In the center of the court is the min
eral display. Three large cases arr
filled with rich specimens of gold, sill
yer, copper, lead, zinc, tin, iron ant
other metals from the gray sulphate!
to the most beautiful and delicate
forms of crystalizations.

This 10 too small for horses bite
and too large for q dogs" "Oh, SIR"

NAL, It was another lydy."
While some Swiss militiamen were

she leap overheard, after he had made
arrangements that would make injury
to her impossible. She did as he said.

after her and united in bringing her
safely back to the deck. What shall
do now" she perplexedly inquired of
the captain. Il don't rightly know,
miss" he answered, "but it seems to
me I'd take the dry one"

MoNrAUK POINT. L. L., Sept 6.-Of
600 troops from Santiago brought by
the transport Roumania, 200 were so
sick that they had to be sent to the
detention hospital, causing great
crowding. This hospital is intended
to comfortably accommodate $50, but
with room for $50 cots somewhat closer
together. At the time the new lot
arrived from the Roumania, nearly 600
were already crowded into these quar-.
tiers and these 200 swelled the number
to 240 more than the normal capacity,
to accommodate whom it became
necessary to remove some cots and
substitute mattresses on the floor
between the remaining cots, some ESQ
being given such accommodations.
Fifty more tents are needed for this
hospital.
