Purely imaginary money is used in

minimum Of complication. In Spain
accounts are reckoned in reals vellon,
worth with Spain five cents of our
money each, but having no existence

calculations are by refs and milreis,
but neither appears as coin. A bill

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.
Begun with Small Farm-Now Does Ex-
tensive Mixed Farming.


Within three miles of the town, 60
Ing eastward. is the farm of Mr.. w.
Dreamer, one of the municipalities
largest and most prosperous mixed
country in 1880 and settled on por-
ton of the land which comprises his
present enormous farm of 1880 acres.
In common with many others Of q
similar period, he experienced all the
hardships and difficulties common TO
The absence Of railway and market IA
cilities. In no wise daunted, by ener~
gy, industry and indomitable will he
was able to surmount all obstacles
and has achieved an unparalleled sue
cess, and is known throughout the dis
trict as one of its pre-eminent farm
ers. His operations extend over 1880
acres, two sections (the thought alone
of so much land makes the eastern
farmer dizzy; 800 acres of this is
broken and the remainder is excellent
pasture land and wood. This harvest
he took off crop of 500 acres of wheat
and 200 Of other grains. Four hundred
acres are plowed and ready for wheat
next spring. Mr.. Creamer is, as has
been stated, mixed farmer Of nc
mean proportions, having at the pres
ent time forty horses, sixty head of
cattle and fifty pigs. The most mod
ern farm buildings are found on his
premises, the main building being a
barn fifty-five feet square on stone
foundation, containing stabling for
sixteen horses and large number Of
cattle. The loft is stored with twenty
nine loads of sheaf oats for feed, and
tons of hay; there is also a cutting
box. Another building of large di-
mansions is the granary, in which, aft
er teaming large quantities to market.
he still has stored 5000 bushels OF
wheat. A crushing machine is in the
building. There are number Of less
&c buildings containing chicken house,
pig pens and cattle sheds. The farm
residence is handsome frame struc-
ture of ample proportions; in connec-
ton with 1t is a woodshed. The water
supply is unexcelled; besides house
supply there is a well in the stables
and never-failing spring situate in
bluff, which never freezes. Surround
ed by thick bluff OF poplars. extend
ing in a semi-circle to the west, north
and east, the winter storms are brok-
en- and accumulation Of snow unknown.
Added to his farming carnations, Mr..
Dreamer conducts a threshing outfit
for the season. His success is only
one instance of what can be accom-
plished in western Canada.-Baldur
MANI Gazette, Nov. IS, 1899.
There will be thousands remove to
western Canada this year to engage in
the pursuit of farming.

BLUFF OF LAND.
That Has Been sliding Toward the
Missourls for Twenty Years.

Atchison (kan.) Cor. Chicago Rec
crd: A mile south of this town the
entire side of a bluff is sliding into
the Missouri River. The avalanche is
quarter of mile long, and at It's
base is the most expensive piece OF
railroad track on the Missouri Pacific
system. There is probably not another
quarter of mile of track in the United
States which 1t cost more to maintain.
The odd thing about this monster land
slide is that it has been slipping down
for 90 years, and unless it takes an I'M
expected plunge will probably be Slip
ping down for the next 20 years, and
possibly so or 100. The avalanche is
moving more or less at all times. but
not enough to require watching by the
Missouri Pacific except about two
months in the spring. During the
winter the moisture is held in the
ground, and when the first thaws and
the spring rains come the great mass
of earth begins slipping. Sometime s
ii comes down foot in "a hours, and
once in while it slides six feet The
Missouri Pacific then puts force of
from 20 to 80 men at work pulling the
track back to its proper place and
keeping it level. A man is employed
TO watch the track at night and see
that it does not get SO far out of lire
as to topple a train over into the river.
Orders are issued to engineers to 60
slow over the bad track, for the jar Of
a train might cause an unprecedented
move. The current of the Missouri
River is always very swift in the
spring, and it wears away the earth
as it slides in, and it appears few
miles below in the form of an island.
The bluff is one of the highest Of the
very high bluffs along the Kansas side
OF the Missouri River from Kansas
City to the Nebraska line Lying I'M
der about Is feet of earth there are one
or more strata of rock aggregating from
20 to 40 feet in thickness. There seems
to have been a perpendicular split
down through this rock dividing the
dun almost nall In TWO, and extending
a quarter of mile north and south.
The side which lay on the river, or east
side, slid because there was nothing
to hold it, while the opposite. or west
side, was up against another bluff.
Thus the cast side began gradually to
sink into the river and has laid bare
a wall 30 or more feet high in places.
Here and there enormous powders,
which hung for long time undecided
with which side to identify themselves,
finally lost their balance and crashed
down, dashing themselves to pieces be-
low. 1t costs the Missouri Pacific sew
eral thousand dollars and causes a
great deal of anxiety every spring, but
there is no way of avoiding it.

When we see a diamond sparkling on
the finger or an opal apparently smol-
dering in its setting, we think OF the
beautiful objects as being lifeless
stones. AS a matter of fact, scientists
now assure us that jewels have sort
of life. Opals and pearls, rubies and
turquoise lose color and grow dull
when worn by the sick and pearls must
receive careful handling or they lose
color and brilliancy and finally die.
Gems, like books, are said to breathe
that is, the air penetrates them, carry
ing with ii emanations from the body.
If the hand on which the jewel is worn
gives off an unhealthy vapor, then the
jewel will receive its proportion and be
injured thereby. For this reason it Is
wise to occasionally put your jeweled
ring or pin away for rest, and in or
der that it may have a chance to pur-
ify 1t has often been demonstrated
that a gem gains in brilliancy by be-
ing put away in case for awhile.

DOCTOR PRAISES TEA.
Declares 1t Il Refreshing When Taken
In the Evening.


Mature is, after all, to be depended
upon pretty thoroughly" says a ply
sician who has made study of the
effects of tea on the system. For en-
ample, it is the exceptional person who
Graves tea at breakfast, a time of the
Gay at which it is least needed and is
frequently most injurious. Tea with
dinner, too, is not to be recommended,
because even if perfectly made there
is sure to be little fannie acid in its
composition, and the stomach in at
tempting the digestion of heavy meal,
is much better without this principle
About 5 o'clock, however, the hour
that fashion and custom agree in pro-
viding tea. is an hour that is also
proper and favorable to the system.
The supply of energy with which the
FAY was begun is about exhausted, and
a cup of well-made tea is often a re-
freshment and tonic that is both ac-
ceptable and desirable" In England
it is not only in the households, bo.h
modest and elaborate, that 5 o'clock
tea is served; but in business places C
well, says the New York Post. in
some, at least, of the newspaper and
periodical offices, everybody, including
the Office boys, may have his cup OF
tea in the afternoon. One wonders how
the experiment would succeed of tea
room in lower New York for the re-
vival of the weary crowd that every
evening sets it's face homeward, many
of its members often unequal to the
scramblng and jostiing necessary to
secure even standing room in our pub
lice conveyances.-Reh Sunday

"Thus much" says the poet Aldrich
in the March Century, may be conced-
ed to Herrick's verse: at its best 1t has
wings that carry it nearly as close to
heavens gate as any of Shakespeare s
lark-like interludes. The brevity OF
the poems and their uniform smooth
ness sometimes produce the effect OF
monotony. The crowded richness OF
the line advises a desultory reading.
But one must go back to them again
and again. They bewitch the memory,
having once caught it, and insist on
saying themselves over and over
Among the poets of England the au-
thor of the 'Hesperides' remains, and
is likely to remain, unique. AS Snake
spere stands alone in his vast domain,
so Herrick stands alone in his scanty
plot of ground. Shine, Poet! in thy
place and be content

Eggs as an American Food.

Since 1885 the egg traffic has become
so large that In New York city alone
1t amounts to over 100000 annually.
The reason for this increase lies In the
fact that preserving eggs in cold sto-
rage has so lowered the price that
everybody can buy them. In New
York 100000 eggs are eaten daily.
They come principally from the west
The rest of the country eats eggs in
same proportion, and though the Unit
ed States produces 10000, 900 ,OOo'ooo
eggs yearly it is necessary to import
annually 100000 dozen from Canada
Spain, Italy and even from far-away
China.
