The alarm about the early exhaustion
or insuficiency Of the worlds wheat
supply may be somewhat abated by the
facts In connection with an application
for charter Of a new Canadian railroad
The title Of the proposed road is the
Quebec and Lake Huron, and its route
Ia from the mouth of French River, on
Georgian Bay. across the Ottawa al
Mattana and the St Maurice at
Grandes Piles, to Quebec. The distance
Is 40 miles, or 135 miles shorter than
from Parry Sound. Included In the
line is a great plateau. embracing
10000 acres Of forest and farming
lands, now out Of reach Of railroads,
and said to be capable Of easily sup
porting a population Of 10000.
The region through which the new
road will pass is well adapted to wheat
growing, and the plan includes great
grain elevators for the accommodation
Of this resource. incidentally the
project calls attention to the fact that
Canada has other large tracts Of unde-
veloped territory adapted to the grow
Ing spring wheat This area. added to
that about to be opened by the Trans
Siberian Railroad, will certainly post

dicted by Sir William Crookes. Mean

popular fear or speculative belief in the
failure Of the supply. -Pittsburg Dis

NIGHT IN A BUFFALO HIDE.

Queer Imprisonment OF q Hunter In
the Northwest.
A party Of scouts from the stations
on BledsOe's Creek, in Sumner County,
was over in Wilson on a tour Of obser'
vation for Indian signs, says the Port
land Oregonian. AS they prepared to
camp late one winter afternoon Capt
Jennings, who was one Of the number.
.tIit>d d out to kill buffalo from a herd
which was near by.
There was a heavy sleet ON the
ground, and he found 1t difficult to get
q good range on account OF the noise
Of his feet on the cracking ice. but af-
ter following the game for several
miles he at last killed very large bull.
Fearing that the meat might be in
jured II left until the next morning, he
skinned the animal and took out the
viscera. BY the time he was done night
had come. and he decided to remain
with his meat instead Of seeking camp
in the darkness. So. wrapping the huge
hide around him, flesh side out, he lay
down and slept very comfortably until
morning. On waking he found himself
tightly imprisoned In the hide, which
had frozen hard and now resisted all
his efforts to escape.
Hour after hour rolled by In agony to
the captain. He yelled at the top Of
his voice for help and strained and
kicked with all his might at the raw
hide inclosure. but 1t proved stubborn
to the last degree. He doubtless swore
many a bitter oath. for he was Of too
irascible temperament to submit
tamely. He expected his companions
to search for him. and they did. but
with a great deal Of caution. fearing
that he had been killed by the Indians.
His prolonged absence could be ac-
counted for in no other way. He gave
up all hope Of extricating himself as
the hours wore away, but help which
he had not thought of was to save him
from a death which would have been
extremely mortifying. at the least. to
a man who had escaped Indian bullets
and swan icy rivers like a beaver. We
will let him relate the issue in his own
words: We'll the sun came out in the
afternoon. and this softened the hide

Assistant District Attorney Osbof1e.
of New York. who won nstoriety By
his energetic prosecution Of the Moli-
neux case. tells this story:
"Some years ago l was spending Q
vacation 1T Rhineclin. N. Y. trying to
recuperate my shattered health. I
stayed at Q farmhouse which was the
property Of . man named William
Traviss. He was often subject to fits
Of melancholy, and in that condition
was wont to say that he was tired of
his life Of drudgery and toll. and was
almost tempted to end his wearisome
existence. Things went along smooth
ly until one night he went out to attend
to the stock and was gone rather long
er than usual. thought he might have
met with some accident, and started
for the barn to look for him. My worst
fears were realized, for there was Trav-
iss hanging by a harness trace from a
beam.
II hastily whipped out my knife and
cut the trace. picked him up and car
ried him into the house and ran two
miles into Rhinecli6 for a doctor. He
recovered, and gave his solemn word
that he would never try to commit sui
eide again. left there two days after
ward. and upon asking for my bill
Traviss named an amount just $2 over
what was sure owed. Upon asking
an explanation of the added q, Traviss
said:
"'Well, Mr.. Osborne, don't you re-
member the buggy trace you cut the
night tried to hang myselff

would find I owed him the Doctors

Labouchere Made ls wo,,o.

Loss Of the privilege of making an
occasional use Of italic type is q depri-
walton which some Of us have had the
hardihood recently to lament, but a
story about himself which Henry La
bouchere tells In Truth brings a sort
Of consolation for the Inconvenience
imposed by the new methods Of COM
position. It seems that Archibald
Forbes once wrote an article for Truth
in which there was a statement 50 Wig
orous concerning q certain person that
Mr.. Labouchere was afraid to print it.
He therefore obtained the famous cor
respondents permission to cut the
dangerous sentence. This done, the
editor drew his pen through the words,
or rather he tried to do 20. but in his
haste he made the line lower than he
had intended, and the compositor
thought that the sentence was under
scored instead Of suppressed. The con-
sequence was that II appeared in Truth
Italicized, and the man to whom It re-
ferred, who might have pardoned an
attack In ordinary type. fell into Q great
rage over IN accusation made with
such emphasis and brought . libel suit
against the paper.
1ts proprietor thought the matter
over. decided that the presentation Of
the facts to jury would not only fail
to secure belief. but would look like a
clumsy and sneaking attempt to avoid

In . Mexican Home.

As all cooking Is done with charcoal
and ovens are practically unknown in
private houses, very few families bake
bread. The small. hard-crusted loaves
Of French bread are delivered all over
the city in great baskets four feet
across that are carried in the hands Of
cargadores.
The arrangement Of furniture is
much more formal than in the United
States. 1t Is a very common sight to
see a splendidly furnished parlor with
a row of STRAIGHTFORWARD chairs, all
alike, with their backs against the
wall, and as close together as they can
be placed clear around the room.
A good Mexican cook relieves the
mistress Of the house of worry and re-
spOnsibIlity In a manner that IL almost
unknown in the United States. The
cook is given so much per day, and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions Of the
day, including even the staples that are
usually bought in large quantities In
other countries. On a dollar a day
cook will provide a very good table for
a family Of three or four, and get
enough beans and torillas and chile to
set the servants tables besides. They
can really do better than their mis-
tress, because they can usually drive
sharper bargains with the market men
of their own class, and they have more
patience to haggle over the last penny.

up quite an acquaintance. He told me
his name was TOlliver-Oliver TOlliver

rather proud to be friendly with one Of

extra agreeable. When he left me at a

rendered me his card and told me he
hoped l would not forget him. didn't
look at the card till he had gone, and
would you believe II, the young fellow
had his name spelled to match, as it
were, and 1t appeared thus: Mr.. Ala
