means of it the shipwrecked sailors reached place of safety. The wounds and bruises of Jacobson and Christian sen received on that occasion can still be seen on their bodies.
 After reaching Seattle some of the men came home overland, but the sail ors in question slowed away on the steamer Umatilla. They got in the cold-storage chamber December 30, at S:S0 a. nl., were sealed up at Port Townsend and did not get out of their prison until January ?, at 4:15 p. m. They were then more dead than alive and had to be carried on deck. Their tongues were swollen and lacerated from licking sweat from the mast in or der to allay their thirst, and they were so weak from hunger that they could not stand Chief Steward Curtis saw to it that they got both food and drink and when the Umatilla docked yester- day morning both the men were able to go ashore.
 "All that we suffered during our lives did not compare with what had to en- dure during the past three days" said Jacobson on board the steamer yester- day. "The Vesta was caught in the gale that wrecked the steamer Cleve- land, and we had terrible time of it. Waves were washing over the boat continuously, and had it not been for Mate Genereaux, who swan ashore through the breakers, we would all have been drowned. As it was, Chris tiansen and have been in the hospital at Seattle.
 From where we went ashore we walked to the lighthouse, where our clothes were dried and food given US. From there we went to Nash bay in a rowboat, and from there to Port Town send, where we were paid off. Chris tiansen and I then went to Seattle, where we were sent to the hospital. When we were discharged we could not get ship and no sailors boarding house would take us in, so we resolved to stow away on the Umatilla. We got into the forepeak and hid among the cargo, but on the way to Port Town send it got so cold that we crept into a place where we were protected from the wind. That was the freezing chamber, and there was lot of trunks and valises in it. We went to sleep | and were awakened by the crew closing up the place in which we were hiding. The baggage was being sealed up by l the custom house officers in order to | save searching when the vessel got to | San Francisco. But we did not know | that fact, and went to sleep again, in i tending to show ourselves on deck
 when the Umatilla had left Victoria | and was on her way to sea.
 | You can imagine our feelings when
 we tried to get out of the chamber and could not. Then we kicked and yelled
 but no one could hear us, and for a
 while we gave up. Then we got hun
 gry, but the hunger was soon swallow | ed up in the raging thirst.
 Whether was cold or warm, hun
 gry or full, I know not. All can re- member is that all-consuming thirst. A
 certain amount of moisture gathered
 on the iron mast, and that we licked
 off every time it gathered When il | would all be licked from our feet as

again. Finally, when the crew of the steamer was getting ready for the com ing docking of the ship, we made our selves heard and the seals were broken. We were taken on deck and could bare ly gasp 'Water!' It was given to us, and then in little while we got hun gry. That meat they gave us tasted better to me than anything l ever ate in my life. We are all right now, but l never want to go through an experi- ence like that again."
 Luckily the cold air was not turned into the chamber or the two men would have been frozen to death.--From the San Francisco Call.

BANEFUL INDIGESTION.
The Disorders It Causes and the Fol
 sons it Instils in the Blood.

sons it Instils in the Blood.
 If we only knew how dangerous, in- sidious and ruthless disease indiges- tion is we would not wait as we do De- fore endeavoring to cure It.
 The longer we wait, the more dan gerous it Is likely to become.
 So the sooner we take Shaker Digest i've Cordial the better it will be, and the better we will be.
 Indigestion is dangerous because 1t creates poisons in the stomach which are absorbed by the blood and by it carried to all parts of the body.
 Could anything be worse than this These poisons would not be formed if the stomach could digest its food. When it can't, Shaker Digestive Cor dial will help it to do so.
 Nothing will help the stomach so well as Shaker Digestive Cordial, nothing else cure indigestion so quickly, or so positively.
 The reason is that it purifies the sto- mach and the blood, and makes your food strengthen instead of poison you.
 It is not medicine, but an aid to digestion, pleasant cordial for weak stomachs.

Pictured Postcards.

Illustrated postcards are slowly
creeping into use in this country, hut

here of increasing and meeting n de-
mand in this direction, says the Lon
don Telegraph. Postcards with repre-
sensations of interesting local scenes
have long been popular on the CONT
nent with residents, and visitors read
lily fall into the fashion. Ornamental
postcards and envelopes are constantly
used by correspondents. and postcard
collecting abroad is quite as common
AS stamp-collecting was in this country
some time ago. The cards are fastened
in an album, especially made for the
purpose, or artistically arranged in
groups on walls and tables. Our illus
trated postcards will probably be made
more varied as the taste grows, and
with art and technical schools on every
hand there is no reason why they
should not lead to the establishment Of
a new department Of industry. There
is certainly no more ready or pleasing
way by which a friend can give his cor
'respondelt N idea Of his surroundings.

Hard Winds.

When the Californian tells you that
he has seen the wind blow so hard that
it blew the grass out Of the ground,
you will smile in spite of yourself; it is
SO perfectly ridiculous. And yet it is
true. I once planted n lawn in March,
sowing Kentucky blue grass. 1t came
up beautifully and f1ourished until
May, which is the month in which the
norther is prevalent. 1 think it was
the middle of the month. IL the grass
was about three inches high, when the
norther came along. In two days 1 had
no more lawn; the grass had been
blown ont of the ground. AS previous
ly mentioned, the norther is a dessdcat.

about the grass roots until it was re-
duced to n powder and thus unable to
resist the wind. which dispersed it.
The roots having no further hold in the
ground. gave way, and the wind car
ried Off the grass. This is how the
wind blew the grass out of the ground.
1t is n California yarn, but simple

ly one said to a neighbor:
Jim, l allus look ut n prairie schoon-

lookin' Mt the ole man, the woman and
the chil'un."
"'Pears mighty strange that I see
nothin' singular in a schooner, neigh
bor."
"Sho'; 1 allus sees somethin' singu-
lar"
"How so, neighbour"
"Well, I've been watchin' prairie
schooners for nigh onto forty years and
I never yet seed a black-haired kid in
one of 'em wagons. Fac. I've bin in
Kaintucky, 1llinoy, N~ewbrasky, Kan

Texas, and it is allus the same. Never
a black-haired boy or gyrl does one see
In a prairie schooner"
"Well, neighbor, I believe you're
right. Come to think on it, now that
you've mentioned it, l never noticed
one eyther."
Round About heard this conversation
und caught on. He interviewed not less
than twenty old-timers and all agreed
that %blacE-haired children never travel

Many Of the great publishers are NOE
issuing views Of English cathedrals
and other places Of historic interest and
not a few pretty landscapes. Some ho-
tells, too, are using cards with views
calculated to invite customers. But
people in this country generally use
the plainest paper and postcards. On
the continent the sales of these inter.
esting little works of art are enormous,
and 1t is stated an attempt to get one

period, and the hardslips he has to endure

Canada has other gold fields, though.
They are the fields that produce her gold
en- grain. This year the crop of Manitoba,
lying directly north of North Dakota,
yielded 81. 100000 bushels of wheat alone.
The current price averages 7G cents.
which, as n local paper puts it, makes
the product in gold this year. for wheat
alone, equal to Il value of $~15,9G0,00O."
Twenty thousand farmers did this. or an
average to each producer of about S79S.
but these same farmers are not living
by wheat alone. This is only one source
of revenue to them out of many. They
have also beef. butter. potatoes, oats.
barley and poultry to sell. and sometimes
other things. so that it may be fairly es-
tiEatcd that their incomes will average
at least $1,000 per farmer. Thus Mani
TOBIAS fields have yielded this year fully

actual producers, and II general popula-
ton of about 2O0.OGO."
After counting the cost of stamp mills,
expenses of men, etc. rich as is the KlOn-
dixie, such vast wealth as is being taken
out of the soil in raising wheat in this one
province, cannot possibly be secured in
any mining district. or course mining de-
vclopment assists agricultural develop

CANADA feels so much assurance in pre-.
dieting prosperity to all who take up farms
in Canada. Western Canada to-day
promises more than any other known field
that is open to immigration. Farms of
16O acres, capable Of producing the best
No. 1 hard wheat, yielding thirty to forty
bushels to the acre, are given away free.
