\ young man who is now we'll up the
list of high salaried officers of a big
manufacturing company said several
days ago that he owed his first oppor-
tunity to show his ability to the fact
that he was not afraid to soil his
clothes. He was one of half n dozen
yoUn. men just graduated from scien-
titic schools who entered the shops OF
this company as students. They We're
expected TO show that they Were prac-
teal worklnen. but most Of them pre-.
ferred theory TO practice. The man
ager Of the company was a self taught
man, and he didn't take much stock in
scientific schools. The young man
who has succeeded took his measure
accurately and, putting on old clothes,
went to work in the shops. Whether
by accident or design he was noticed
by the manager Il day stretched out
OF his back under a heavy casting
with a hammer and cold chisel in his
hand working away as if he had no
higher ambition. 4 week later tie
manager summoned him to the office.

Queer Town i'm England.

The most curious town in England ID
NOrthwich. There is not a straight
street nor. in fact, a straight house. in
the place; every part of 1t has the ap-
pearapce of having recently suffered
from the visitations of an earthquake.
Northwich, as everyone knows, is the
center OF the salt industry. On nearly
all sides of the town are big salt works,
with their engines pumping hundreds
of thousands of gallons of brine every
week. At depth of some 200 or 300
feet are immense subterranean lakes of
brine, and as the contents of these are
pumped and pumped away. the upper
crust of earth is correspondingly weak
ened, and the result is an occasional
subsistence. These subsidences have a
pulling" effect on the nearest build
ings. which are drawn all ways. givin5
the town an upside down appearance.

What a Former Resident Of Cascia
County. Idaho, Has TO Say Regard
ing Western Canada.

Mr. T. A. Tolman of Lacombe. Al.
berta. n. W. T.. former resident Of
Cascia County. Idaho. who moved TO
Western Canada in July. 1894, writes
as follows:
Il brought here thirty-four head of
cattle, fifteen horses. two wagons. two
sets of harness and one hundred and
fifty dollars in cash. | homesteaded the
southeast quarter of section %. town
ship 40. range 26. west of the fourt h
meridian. also purchased a quarter sec
tion of Canadian Pacific Railway land.
i have been farming more or less nearly
all my life and | am convinced that YOU
can raise crops 40 per cent cheaper here
than where came from. Ny capital at
present. counting everything. is about
five thousand dollars. The yield of NV
grain all round in 1897 was 60 bushels
per acre. This year 1S9S) yield of
wheat per acre 371a bushels. oats 30
bushels. barley 35 and potatoes 400 per
acre. l consider this is a much better
country for man than where | came
from. provided he is industrious. You
get free homestead here and Canadian
Pacific Railway lands are cheap and the
terms easy. | have now made nv sev-
enth payment on the land purchased by
me and am much pleased with my pur-
chase. as the land has already much
more than paid for itself. School law
here is decidedly ahead of where
came from. and there are schools vher-
ever there are settlers"

italy's Miserable Condition.

One cannot conceive of human be-
ings living in worse condition than
many Of the people Of Italy. Each
year in that country 100000 persons go
mad with hunger. while thousands die
OF actual starvation. Other hundreds
of thousands are half demented owing
to lack of sustaining food.
Bread of clay and acorns" is the
sustainment of many and this repul-
sive diet Is thus obtained:
The housewives gather red clay and
boil it. In the thick broth of clay they
throw chopped acorns until the water
is all absorbed and there remains a
dense black mass, which they set to
rise, and afterward lay in fiat pieces 20
dry. When dry it is ready to serve at
table.
Bread thus prepared is usually abun-
dant, except in years when acorns are
scarce. Then the pigs compete with
the people; competition all the more
dangerous because the pigs-gluttons
that they are--eat the acorns but not
the clay.
1t is small wonder that there were
bread riots in Italy. and it will be
big wonder il there will not be a rcyo-
luton there some day that will change
present conditions and restore TO the
people their own.

A FAMOUS FLAG.
The Piece of Bunting Which Tripped

The Piece of Bunting Which Tripped
Booth After He Shot Lincoln.
Removal from one room in the Treasury
building to another of the flag which
tripped John Wilkes Booth and caused
him to fall and break his leg the night he
shot Abraham Lincoln has raised the
question as to the proper disposition of
that famous bit of bunting. says a Wash
ington correspondent. q. \. II. men want
it sent to the National Museum, where it
can be properly taken care of. 1t is one
of the most historic relics in the country,
and it should be carefully preserved. The
flag happens to be in the Treasury De-
partment because il was presented to the
Treasury Light Guard along with another
in 1864 by the women of the department.
This banner guard was of good use when
.Iubal Early was threatening the capital
but it did not have any fighting to do.
April II, 1865. two nights before the
assassination of Lincoln, the Treasury
Guard gave an entertainment at FOrd's
Theater for charitable purposes. The
theater was beautifully decorated. On
the boxes occupied two nights later by
President Lincoln and the White House
party were the two flags mentioned. They
gave the boxes such a pretty appearance
that the manager of the theater requested
that the flags be allowed to remain until
the night of the 14th, when the President
was expected to be in attendance at a
play. The request was granted, and on
the arrival of the President at the the
ater on the fatal night he commented
with pleasure on the decorations, and ex

the folds of the flag. causing him to lose
his balance and fall. thereby breaking his
