One on the Rector.

The little daughter of local clergy
man has reached the age where big
words are apt to floor her, and where
she is very sensitive to the remarks of
an elder brother.
Not long ago she came running to her
father.
Papa, papa, George called me
Names"
"Why, what did George say?"
"Oh," said the little girl with strong
expression of disgust, ''he said I prac-
ticed what preached. don't, do I?'
"Well my child, L"
'But don't, do I, papa? 1 don't any
more than you do, do II"
And then the rector choked up. But
he took a half hour from his sermon
and explained the meaning Of the OBJ
noxious expression to the best of his
ability.-Cleyeland Plain Dealer.

The Roudoir OF the Czarina,

The boudoir of the Czarina at Gar
skoye Selo Is said to be a spacious
apartment, very light and very sparse
ly curtained. Masses of tropical YER
dure divide the room into several coy
apartments and give 1t very pictur-
esque appearance. The dado Of the
wall Is formed almost entirely of pho
tographs. An easel in one Of the win
dow recesses and a, grand piano in an
other testify to the Czarina's artistic
tastes; several Of her own water colors
hang on the walls and she Is in the
habit Of singing to the Gar the folk
songs Of his own country.

Prince Albert, Sask.,


William McCreary, Esq, immigration
Commissioner, Winnipeg, Man.:
Strive, the undersigned delegates
from Kansas and Nebraska, u. S. A.,
in reporting the results of our trip to
Dauphin, and subsequently to Regina,
Prince Albert and the middle Sas-
katchewan country beg to say that our
tickets were limited to twenty-one
days, ard as we had other large regions
to visit, we could only spend short
time in the Dauphin country. We ex
amined, however, the principal cult
waited areas in the southern parts of
township %, range 10, the great wheat
fields of Wishart, Buchanan, Owen,
Smith, Ross, Sinclair, the Whitmores,
Drinkwaters, ETC., and, subsequently,
others to the north, and never, in our
experience, have we seen finer grain.
The whole country is watered by nu-
merous streams flowing from the slopes
Of Riding Mountain, and excellent well
water is found everywhere, at from
nine to eighteen feet. Extensive for
ests of spruce and tamarack cover the
northern parts of the mountains, from
which timber is manufactured in Dau-
phin and elsewhere, ard sold at from
S12 thousand at the mills. Wild hops
and wild fruits are abundant, and ripen
in the open air. Vegetation through
out is surprisingly luxuriant and, with
out hesitation, we would rank the
whole region among the best grain
growing areas of the continent. The
output of wheat last year was about
$4,000 bushels, but this year it is esti-
mated at over million.
Westward lie the homestead lands
| which now, and when fresh surveys
are completed, will afford comfortable
homes to thousands of diligent fam
lilies. The great Gilbert Plains also
we were unable to visit, where grain
growing has been conducted with the
best results for years, and which will
become vast wheat field as soon as a
branch railway reaches there.
Settlement is speeding in all these
regions, reminding us indeed of the
early days in our own States; and as
we have examined, since our visit to
Dauphin, a portion Of the great coun-
try lying south and east of Prince AL
bert we can readily imagine the tide
Of immigration which will soon flow
into the Canadian West.

CHURCHES AND scHooLhoUsEs

The interior walls of churches, school
houses and all public halls should never be
coated with anything but the durable and
pure Alabastine. So evident has this fact
become, that hundreds of tons are used an
nually for this work. The genuine Alabas-
tine does not rub or scale of. 1t is cleanly
during the long period OF Its usefulness. Ey-
cry owner of building should use 1t. Ask
your paint dealer or druggist for card OF

WHAT "KALsoMINEs' ARE.

Kalsomines are cheap and temporary prep
arations, manufactured from whiting,
chalks, clays, etc. They are stuck on the
walls with decaying animal glue. Alabas-
tine Is not a kalsomine. 1t Is rock-base
cement, which SETS and 1t hardens with age.
It can be re-coated and re-decorated without
having to wash and scrape or Its old coats.
Beware of a large four-pound package of
light kalsomine, sold to dealers for four
pounds and offered to customers ~ . Eve

Battles Around Manila

Kansas City Star: The fine conduct of
the western volunteer troops in the
Philippines is exactly what might have
been expected. American volunteer SOL
diers, reasonably well selected, after be-
ing seasoned and trained in actual ser
vice. ought to be the best soldiers in the
world.
New York World: Properly to appre-
ciate the valor and grit" of our soldiers
the nature of the country and. above all,
the nature Of the climate must be taken
into account. In this view the continuous
battle our soldiers have given becomes a
marvel of American endurance and
tenacity.
Indianapolis Journal: Americans should
be proud of the conduct of the troops in
the Philippines. True, it was to be ex-
highest soldierly qualities wherever they
are placed but they never have operated
under worse conditions than those which
prevail about Manila.
Springfield Republican: We expect the
overwhelming defeat of the native army

after so many of their number have been
slaughtered in successive combats, and
the doggedness OF their resistance must

to one who recalls the history of the past
year, can stir only the profoundest pity.

letins from the scene of conflict in the
Philippines leave the result of the fight

is no uncertainty, however. on one point;
namely. that such advantage as has been
gained by the forward movement was OBJ
tanned at heavy cost in Americans killed
and wounded. Moreover the fact that
every position on their line of retreat has
been strongly intrenched b III ms r. nts
makes il probable hat the conquest of
every inch of territory will require heavy
sacrifice.
Philadelphia Ledger: The victory of the
American forces in front of Manila is
heralded as the beginning Of the end. and
we hope it may be SO. but in reading the
dispatches there is always the uncomfort-
able feeling that they have had to pass
they may not tell the whole truth. We
have had before accounts of great slaught-
er among the Filipinos, but no sign of
such weakening upon their part as we
might naturally eXpect to find If it were
true that they had suffered enormous
losses. They have not indicated any dis
position TO yield. but on the contrary
have been very aggressive, and have
closely invested our lines around Manila
They have, moreover, succeeded in in
fiicting considerable loss upon the Ameri-
can forces through minor engagements
which occur almost daily. These known
facts do not altogether agree with the
optimistic reports from Manila and the

of Aguinaldo, though the Americans have

Mr.. Sherman,s Humor.

While in congress Mr.. Sherman made
very little reputation as humorist. but
fash of mother wit on one occasion
brought him out of an unpleasant posi-
ton with much credit. The occurrence
was early in Mr.. Shermans career. 1t
was when he went to Kansas, the mem
Der of a congressional committee, to in
vestigate the conditions there, preced-
ing the civil war, says the Washington
correspondent Of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat The southerners were try
ing to introduce slavery, while the
''Eberty-loving people Oh Massachu-
sets" were practicing expansion with
sharp rifles and abolition tracts. The
presence OF Mr.. Sherman and the COM
mitttee was resented by the SOUTHERN
ers, who threatened personal violence.
What happened on the occasion re-
ferred to is told in Mr.. Sherman's own
words:
One day a man entered the room and
began to swear at the committee. He
abused it in the most profane manner,
and he was evidently spelling for a
fight. We had a stenographer with us,
and, as soon as the man began to talk,
l made a motion to him to take down
his wordh. He did SO, and after the
ruffian had gone on for about ter min
utes l called a halt and told him that
he had made himself liable to arrest. /
thereupon asked him if he knew what
he had been saying, and called upon
the stenographer to read his notes.
Shorthand was then unknown in the
west, and, as the man heard his exact
words, his jaw fell, his face paled, ana
he asked the amanuensis to Lee him see
the paper. 1t was shown to him. He
looked at it for moment and then
frantically tearing his hair, he eX-
claimed: Snakes, by Caesarp and rush
ed from the room. We did not see him
again during the investigation
