could not inhabit it after nine years

the destruction Of insects. The bugs

August of last year ! felt like new man

1t has now reached depth of nearly two
hundred feet. At least one hundred and

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in adj
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
Gus health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy Of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. j. c. Orms, of 200
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that I
think your remedies are wonderful. I
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. l can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. L
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
cnce in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia L. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.

Thousands OF cases OF chronic ca
tarrh have been cured by Pe-ru-na
during the past winter. In spite RI
changeable weather. in spite of TIE ma
tural set-backs from catching cold, and
confinement to illy-ventilated rooms,
the great catarrh remedy-Pe-ru-ra-
has effected these cures. But now
spring is here. The days are longer,
the sun is warmer. and the blizzard is
gone for another year. This pres nts
q much more favorable opportunity fer
the permanent cure Of chronic catarrh,
especially old, stubborn cases. Now
is the time to begin treatment Other
things being equal. one months treat

Through the Leading

The few remedies which have at
tanned to worldwide fame, as truly
beneficial in effect and giving satisfac-
ton to millions of people everywhere,
are the products of the knowledge of
the most eminent physicians, and pre-
sented in the form most acceptable to
the human system by the skill of the
worlds great chemists; and one Of the
most successful examples is the Syrup
Of Figs manufactured by the Califor-
MIA Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a host of
limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup
of Figs is permanently beneficial in it's
effects, and therefore lives and pro-
notes good health, while inferior prep
arations are being cast aside and for
gotten. In olden times II a remedy
gave temporary relief to individuals
here and there, II was thought good;
but nowadays a laxative remedy
must give satisfaction to all. II you
have never used Syrup of Figs, give it
a trial, and you will be pleased with it,
and will recommend it to your friends
or to any who suffer from constipation,
or from overlooking, or from colds,
headaches, biliousness. or other ills re-
sulting from an inactive condition of
the kidneys, liver and bowels.
in the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup of Figs, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the TASTE but the medicinal
properties Of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally laxa-
tive and to act most beneficially. AS
the true and original remedy, named
Syrup of Figs, Is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only, knowl-
edge of that fact will assist in avoid
ing the worthless limitations manufac-
tured by other parties. The company
has selected for years past the lead
ing publications of the United States
through which to inform the public Of
the merits of its remedy, and among
them this paper is included, as will be
seen by reference to its advertising col

SHREWD THEORY.
Evolved by n Foxy CUTLER" of the
London Detective Force.

London Detective Force.
London Correspondence Of the Wash
ington Post: Slater, the detective, was
in his element the other afternoon.
Now, quite as the sailor mans partic-
ular element is the briny deep, is
mystery the element of the profess
sional detective. He revels in mys-
terry. he lives in mystery, he glances
to left and right in mystery, he knits
his brow in mystery, and he envelopes
himself with mystery as with a mack
intosh. That is what Slater, the de-
tective, did the other afternoon. Some
bold burglars, some audacious sneak
thieves, had taken 100000 in bank
notes from PARIS bank in broad day
light, right under the shadow of the
Bank of England. Every one was
speaking of that robbery, specializing
as to how the job had been done, and
whittier the big bank notes had van
ished. The notes were almost all of
big denominations. There were thirty
six 1000 notes and twenty-five $500
notes, and these naturally would be
most difficult to pass. The bank OFF,
cials. the police and tho detective force
issued the numbers Of the notes and
telegraphed all over the world about
them. OF course Slater was as much
excited as any one else, but he ex-
pressed himself more sagely, more
enigmatically than many Of his col
leagues of smaller fry. This rob-
berry," said he, slowly, impressively,
like a hack politician prophesying all
about campaign, this robbery was
committed in one OF three ways"
Slater paused, took out pocket pen
and with it drew a schedule on his
blotting pad. at was committed" he
continued, first, by some one on the
outside; or, second. by some one on
the inside; or, third, by some one on
the outside in collision with some one
on the inside" Then Slater looked up
for APPROPRIATION a moment, and was
about to proceed, when the Office boy
announced a visitor on urgent bust
ness. The interview terminated then
and there. but / shall never forget the
detectives artistic air OF mystery as
he sagely unfolded his theory OF the
100000 robbery at PARIS bank.

Delegates to DauphIn.

sVNENsI
18th August. 1893

kAADCANt odSh.,
18th August, 1898.
William McCreary, Esq, Immigra-
tion Commissioner, Winnipeg, Man:
Sir-We. 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 81 days, and as
we had other large regions to visit, we
could only spend a short time in the
Dauphin country. We examined, how
ever, the principal cultivated areas in
the southern parts of township 25,
range 10, the great wheat fields OF Wis
hart, 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 numerous
streams flowing from the slopes of
Riding Mountain, and excellent well
water Is found everywhere at from to
is feet. Extensive forests of spruce
and tamarack cover the northern parts
of the mountains, from which timber
is manufactured in Dauphin and else
where, and sold at $12 a thousand
at the mills. Wild hops and wild fruits
are abundant, and ripen in the open
air. Vegetation throughout Is surpris-
ingly luxuriant, and without hesita-
ton we would rank the whole region
amongst the best grain growing areas
OF the continent. The output OF wheat
last year was about $4,000 bushels, but
this year 1t is estimated at over a mill
lion. Westward lie the homestead
lands which now, and when fresh sur
veys are completed, will afford COM
Portable homes to thousands OF dill
gent families. The great Gilbert
Plains, also, we were unable to visit,
where grain growing has been conduct
ed with the best results for years, and
which will become a 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, 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.
