Canada's Greatest Glory.

The greatest glory of Canada Is not
its modern progress. but its vast and
ancient wilderness. If you weary OF the
sameness and unprofita ,eness Of every
thing you know, go where went last
year, to the upper waters Of the Otta-
wa, where the beaver Is the master ar
chitect and the moose is king of the
woods See for yourself, as | saw, that
the Ottawa and the Gatineau, appearing
to come from widely distant regions,
have their origin close together and are
twins. Behold these two children OF
the lakes, nourished from the same
generous breast. Trace their courses
and see that. though journeying far, in
widely different directions, they finally
arrive dt common destination.
Nobody knows all about that head
water country around the sources Of the
Ottawa. 1t is prolific game region,
where sportsmen rarely go, for the
simple reason that they can get all the
hunting they want nearer to the rail-
road. There are plenty Of deer close to
almost any Canadian Pacific station
west of Pembroke. and it is not much
trouble to get chance at a moose in
two days from Deux Rivieres, Rock
cliffe, or Mattawa. Not many hunting
parties start from there either. and l
suppose the reason is that for thous-
ands of miles to the west the woods.
prairies, and mountains lie close to the
railroad and afford almost limitless OPP
portunities.
The territory inclosed by the Ottawa
and the Gatineau has been from i'm
mortal times the home Of the Algon-
! Indians, and they still remain
?. in such primitive innocence that
receive no annuity from the Do
on Government. In this they are

or their brother tribes of Canada

A Queer PAYMENT.

A Yorkshire clergyman married a
couple in his church recently, and af-
ter he had pronounced them man and
wife the groom took him to one side
and asked what the damages were.
The parson told him that there was
no fixed amount. He might give what
ever he chose.
"Parson," said he, "I've got five grey
hound pups at home, for which l am
asking sovereign apiece, and I'll let
you have one for half a SOW"
OF course, the clergyman declined so
ridiculous fee, as he had no use for
a greyhound pup.
When he got home he must have
found his wife better than expected, for
he sent the parson one of the pups, ac-
companied with letter saying that
he was so happy with Maria that he
would give him dog for nothing

Women In Uncle SANS Service,

"Women are eligible for appointment
to many branches of the Government
service upon precisely the same condi-
tions as men, writes Barton Chcyncy,
Of Positions Under Uncle SAM" in the
October Ladies' Home Journal. "The
question of sex does not enter into the
matter when there are vacant positions
which are open to women. At the pres
ent time there are only one-sixth as
many women as men in the service.
The prejudice that formerly existed
against the appointment of women Is
disappearing, and in 1898, of 41S per-
sons appointed to positions in the de-
partments at Washington, 100 were fe.
males. In addition to clerical capaci-
ties women are appointed assistant
miCrOScOpiStS, nurses, tranSlatOrs
teachers, matrons, telegraph operators,
stenographers and typewriters, as we'll
as to places requiring skilled and un-
skilled workers. AS assistant micro
scopists they have the first chance of
selection, there being always q demand
for capable women in this line"

Dogs In Harness.

Parliament set about remedying the
lot of horses, asses, and mules, but II
prohibited the employment of dogs al
together. Why? | suppose because
dogs appeal more nearly to our Sympa-
thies than any other animal, and an
overloaded or ill-fed dog stirs more
surely the commiseration of the pass
er-by than the mute endurance of
cab-horse; nevertheless. the act was
probably a mistake. Mark the behav-
iOr of dogs in Germany, where they are
still employed to draw carts. They go
at their work with a will, and, being
naturally social and cooperative ami
mails, seem to enjoy the sense of being
helpful.

Industrious. willing servants in the
streets of Brussels or Berlin, and al
though they are sometimes overloaded,
(Which is a proper subject for legisla-
tion) have never happened to see one
otherwise maltreated, nor one whose
behavior showed dread of or indiffer-
ence to his employer. In fact, it does
not pay to ill-uSe a dog in harness.
Strike him, and he will not suffer mute
ly and redouble his efforts like the less
intelligent horse, but will lie down and
yelp or creep under his cart. When
not in motion he can lie down in the
shafts and rest himself or sit up and
scratch.
The right, therefore, which Parlia-
ment has conferred on thousands Of
British dogs is one to statutory idleness,
a very dubious boon, as many fat,
overfed collie could testify, which
would be far happier working for its
living than lounging as superttuous

Decision Against Tugbont Mar-
rfares

Judge Dougherty, of Santa Rosa, Cal.
has rendered a decision in the case of
Bonham VS.. Bonham, recently brought
to annul marriage contracted on
board a pleasure schooner outside San
Francisco Heads. The Court declares
that weddings taking place at sea In
contravention of the statutes or by con-
tract, or under any circumstances with
out proper license and some form of
public solemnization are clearly illegal.
The Court further holds that children
resulting from such unions, where con-
tracted since March rs, 1896, when the
statutes governing such cases were re-
vised by the Legislature, are without
doubt illegitimate. Plaintiff and de-
fendant in the case at bar were married
by sea captain on Aug. II, 1896, but
Bonham having acknowledged the pa
ternity of a child born to him the
Court holds that it becomes the plain
tiff's legitimate and adopted son.

Here are few sta ,istics, given by an
expert, concerning the relative merits
and expense Of tea aad coffee:
'Tea is cheaper thin any water bot
tied. BY actual meaSurement over 300
cups Of tea can be made from every
pound Of black tea, which, at the rate
of 50 cents a pounJ, would give six
cups for one cent. TSe choicest tea I'm

a pound, would cost the consumer one
cent for three cups Coffee at its pres.

SKUNK FARMING.
An Agricultural Cfilcinl Says There
are Millions In 1t.


There's money In skunk farm"
said an official of the Agricultural De-
partment, "and skunk farming will
some day be great industry in this
country. There's barrel of money in
the business, and yet the man who sug-
gested 1t was regarded as out of his
head. 1t does not take prolonged and
expensive investigation to demonstrate
the truth of what I assert.
while there are no official statistics
on record, 1t Is known that skunks-the
American skunk-wlll begin breeding
at one year old. They breed twice each
year, and have litters of from five to
thirteen, an average of eight to lit
ter. 1t is said that skunks can live on
as little as any known animal, so there
is little expense in raising them. They
are of different disposition to the
coon, squirrel and many other small
animals, in that they cannot be tanned,
and I do not suppose that many people
would care to have one as a pet.
Nov, it has been figured out that
man who understands skunk farming
can begin on twenty skunks-fifteen fe-
males and five ma'es-and in very
few years will have a large and healthy
how rapidly these twenty skunks will
increase in number. If you begin op-
erations on the farm in the early fall
the skunks will breed in December.
Right from the juInp, estimating the
increase at the rate of eight to the lit
ter, you have an increase of 120
skunks. Well, in June they breed
again and at the same ratio of increase
at the expiration OF one and one-half
years you will have 7,495 skunks. In
four years, without mishap, your
skunks will have increased to $3.50, 900.
"This is good big drove of skunks,
and if the pelts are worth 81 each. the
pelts Of 200 male skunk would bring in
open market 5000, and the oil at so
cents an ounce would be worth $780,
Then figuring as we did on the increase
of skunks, at the expiration of one and
one-half years, you could kill 300 male
skunks, the pelts of which would be
worth just as many dollars as skunks
killed. The amount of oil gathered
from this number OF skunks would
S14,S00. At the expiration of four years
you would have killed 100000 male
skunks the pelts of which would be
WI III 9l,ooD,ouo, anu tue oil-lO, ,lSO,Ooo
ounces-S7, $50, 900, and you would still
have 100000 skunks left to continue
business with
These figures are not at all extrava-
giant, and it will not be long before
some of our enterprising citizens will
be embarking in the skunk farming
business. | do not know of anything
which will produce money faster than
this and the beauty of 1t is that it takes
only small sum to begin with. 1t dis
counts raising five cent cotton or any
other agricultural pursuit that know

CIGAR LABELS.

end tod tobacco. The brand" tells the ci-
hioro.r i lpr seller something about the size and
led, iape of the cigar. AS years go on the
application of these brands becomes
more and more loose and irregular. I'm
til recent years there used to be regu-
lar gradation of size in about this Or
der, beginning with the largest: O
Perfecto, (2) Puritano, (3) Concha, and
"a Conchita. Even this arrangement
was not by any means the earliest. Re
gala" was known to the trade as a
designation of large size long before
anybody ever heard of "Perfecto."
Henry Clay" was once brand indica-
tive Of both size and quality, brand
and label in one, when the cigar was
made in only one Havana factory. And
later results of competition. as we'll as
of Cuban disturbances, are seen In the
actually prevailing scale Of brands. AS
| brand differs from brand in shape as
we'll as in length, 1t would take much
complicated mathematical research to
place the brands in the exact order OF
the volume of tobacco indicated by
each.
Roughly speaking, however, they run.
beginning with the largest as follows:
(D Perfecto Elegante, (2) Perfecto FL
no. 60 Puritano Finn--a thick cigar;
(4 Puritano Extra, (5) Breya-thick
and blunt; (6) Breya Chica, ca Concha
Regalia, (S) Concha Especial (9) Con-
chita, 10) Reina Fina, lD Petit Due,
! Q2) Opera, and Q3) Chiquita.
About all this matter of brands moth
| Ing is so certain as that the whole busi-
ness is in a shifting and revolutionary
condition. Thus, the Panetela, not
mentioned above, would be placed by
some after the Perfecto, because it is
about as long, and by others after the
Concha, because it is thinner. 1t was
much easier to maintain hard and
fast rule when the whole cigar making
! industry was ostensibly confined to Ha-
vana. and all cigars, even If made else
where, had to pretend to Havana origin
and conform to Havana customs in or
| der to maintain the illusion.
1t Is curious to note, however, that
| factories all over the world still stick
to Spanish words and traditions in
branding and labelling their output. II
! a Rhode Island cigarmaker wishes to
say that this box is something really
uncommonly fine he marks it "Delicios-
os." The colors OF Spain still rule in
the ribbons that tie the bundles of ci-
gars-yelow and red, the latter very
rare When Cuba has become Ameri-
canized red, white and blue ribbons may
make their appearance in cigar boxes,
but that sign Of the times has not yet
| been observed.-N. Y. Tribune.

AT THE GRAND LEADER

There were so many pretty scenes in this big establishment, that it is almost impossible to decide which to select as a subject. Of course the millinery department is the most elaborate affair at all Spring openings. The place is known as the blue room; it Is handsomely dec orated on each side with artificial flowers and high arches made of hats. The hats OIL exhibition are dreams. ,. They are the hanuiwork of Miss Sadie Brown, late of New York. Mss Brown has had many years experience in the millinery line and the headgear displayed here certainly demonstrates her effclen : ey thereif. She is being assisted Sby Mrs. Scott and Miss Julia Brown. The Cyrano walking hat is one of the most beautiful on exhibition. It . IS a fine shirred brim with French pansies with all the delicate shades of lavender,
 The store is handsomely arranged with artistic and original deaora. tions, made from dress goods, lin- ens, .erepons and silks of eve~y de- scrrption.
 It would take column of our space to correctly describe the three handsome windows. Behind the center plate glass is a large shir, made of artificial flowers and It seems to float in a sea of rose buds. At it's mast thead is a flag upo l which are the words, "A Spring Outing.
 The decorations were arranged by Mr. Geo. R Kaufman and his work proves that he certainly deserves the recent diploma awarded him for artistic window work.

AT THE BAZAAR.

As the ladies who were ia search of beauties entered the millinery de- partment at the Kaufman Bazaar, the scenes there caused them to make hundreds of expressions of admiration and delight. The walls had been delicately tinted and deco rated, the colors white and green being effectively used. From the ceiling hung pots of potted-p -plaets, while the back grounds were beau tifully presented with draperies on large figured lace curtains.
 In this department were hats of every color and shape, beauties in deed. Miss Lesa Muller, the head milliner. needs no introduction through our columns. Her work speaks for itself. Miss Muller is being ably assisted by Mesdames Sweet and Austin and Miss Wolf.
 An exit from the millinery depart ments brings your eyes in contact with many fancy pyramids and arches, which succeed in showing the wash goods, silks, satins and all other goods they con tain, to the best advantage. Tie cloak and shirt waist displays attract much tion, as does also the linen de partment nearby. Thegdimity and lace arrangements are also among the hundreds of attractive features in the complete Bazaar.
 It is proper that we should de- scribe hat that immediately caught the eye of every visitor. It is a Parisian three brimmed affair with several large black plumes, bedeek- ing it's crown.
 Small and handsome mirrors were distributed as souvenirs.
 The scenes as this populae busi ness house are all subjects oi much thought and originality, which add immensely to the general effect. The millinery department is com posed of gems in that line and the ensemble is both restful and gratl- flying. The Bazaar will also hold its opening two days longer,i ending Wednesday evening March 2.
 Mir. Kaufman and his able corps oi assistants are to be complimen t. ed upon their most successful and fatterlng Spring opening.
