philanthropic works. The first recipi-
ent OF the order was the Countess
Szapary, upon whom it was bestowed
in recognition of her devoted services
to the dead Empress in her last hours.
The Austrian Star Cross order is the
oldest of the eleven orders designed
for women in various parts of the
world. Even the Sultan of Turkey,
about twenty years ago, instituted an
order for women. The Shah of Persia
has done the same.
The only woman who ever had con-
ferred upon her the order of ST. George
of Russia is the ex-Queen of Naples.
She behaved with such gallantry at
the siege of Gaeta that the Car made
an exception in her favor and sent
her the cross of the order. The first
woman to win the distinction of the
decoration for Arts and Science is Car
men sylvia, who has had it bestowed
upon her by the Emperor of Austria.
In recognition of the efforts Of his
sister, the Crown Prince of Greece, to
relieve the wounded of the Turko-
Greek war, the Emperor of Germany
conferred upon her the Louise Order,
with the Red Cross engraved on the
medal.
Apropos of the Kaiser's own decora-
ton he has in all over 200 crosses,
stars, badges and other insignia. A
curious fact in connection with the
golden fleece collar a superbly Jewell
ed affair of high intrinsic value, is
that Spain only looms it to highly fav-
ored individuals. For example, the or

France short time before his death,
by the Queen OF Spain, had to be re-

In ancient times the women of the

been resistless when they confronted
the legions of decadent Rome. To-day,
with all her military prestige and ma

except of the very highest classes, are
little more than upper servants, with
no real authority in ordering the affairs
of their household, every pfennig of ex-

the husband who is literally the ma

A German girl is taught subservience
and humility from the moment she is
able to understand anything. As a.
child, she must obey her father; as a
wife, her husband is master and,
should he die, the son thinks, plans and
acts for her. Only in exceptional in
stances is she supposed to be capable
of thinking and acting for herself. Her
property rights are nominal from birth
to death she is a minor in the eye of

TOBACCO IN WARFARE.

The Weed Plays Prominent Part in
the Winning of an Engagement.
1t may sound strange but it is a fact.
nevertheless. that tobacco plays
prominent part in the winsing of a
battle. This was known to old cam
paigners in the civil strife of the SOS
and it was again proven during the
trouble with Spain. A striking illus
tration was furnished by the United
States troops before Santiago. One
who was in the trenches from the first
in telling of his and his comrades
experiences spoke of tobacco as fol-
lows: There was a tobacco famine
from the first day but it wasn't until
after the two big general engagements.
when we settled down to see things
out, that its effects began to make
themselves felt. At that time our boys
were suffering from about as many
different kinds of discomfort as could
be gathered together in one bean.
they were half starved, terribly ex-
hausted, wet, cold and dirty. They
were without shelter or a place where
they could lie down, except in the
muddy trenches, where nobody dared
light fire for fear of attracting the
sharpshooters, and you would natural
ly suppose that all these things would
have furnished abundant material for
grumbling. But they didn't. They
were scarcely mentioned. The only
subject that was generally discussed
was the chance of getting a smoke.
and, when that chance was finally rec
ognized as zero plus nothing. the whole
company settled down to deep gloom.
Up to that time our men had been per-
fectly confident of taking Santiago and
licking the Spaniards out of their
boots, but the longer they remained
without tobacco the more doubtful they
became. They had all sorts of SIMS
ter forebodings-we would get the
fever; the enemy would shell US with
big naval guns from the fleet; over
whelming reinforcements would be
rushed across from Havana. At the
end of "A hours there was only one
man in our detachment who still be-
ieved we had a ghost of a chance. He
was a chap who had stolen three big,
black cigars from the saddlebags of a
passing general. The company re-
manned in that frame of mind, only
growing steadily more and more hope
less. until the evening of the fourth
day, when a commissary wagon threw
off box of tobacco by mistake, think
ing it was beef. Our men pounced on
it like tigers, and in five minutes every
body was smoking and confidence in
the American arms was fully restored.
The troopers were, if anything, hun
grier, colder and wearier than they had
been at first. but never saw such
sudden revival of martial spirit in ny
life"

and there, thereby covering a hundred
and sixty acres.
1 have no doubt but that this coun-
Try excels as a grazing or ranehing
country, because they have such rich
grass, having an abundance of rain to
keep it fresh. They also have plenty
OF water streams, and as a rule water
may be reached at depth of from 20
to 40 feet. From this you can see
there can be plenty of hay mown for
winter feeding, and l have had re-
liable farmers to tell me that their
stock will feed on hay alone, and be
ready for market in the spring. Upon
inquiring about the expense of raising
a steer, a farmer replied that he did
not consider it would cost any more
than 81 or Sc to develop a three-year-
old steer.
l truly think Canada offers a fine
opening for young man or man
who is renting land in Indiana. One
hundred and sixty acres of good black
land will cost you only $40 at the time
you enter it, and by blowing and cul-
uVatlng five acres each year for three
years, gives you one hundred and sixty
acres of good land for $40. This land
can be bought from the railroad COM
panies, private corporations or the gov
eminent for SO to 81 per acre.
From a financial standpoint, 1 be-
heve that for series of years (nye)
young man can make $40 in Canada,
whereas he would only make 81 here.
and l feel sure that l spent more
money to get my eighty acre farm in
White county. Indiana, cultivated than
1t would cost me to cultivate eight
hundred acres in Canada. This may
seem strong view to take OF the
matter, but when you take into con-
sideration the clearing, ditehing, fenc-
ing and the expensive breaking in of
the stumps, and then compare the ex-
pense to that Of land needing only the
breaking, you will conclude that it is
not such a wild or exaggerated state
ment as you might at first think.
l enjoyed the balmy, breezy atmos-
phere, which was bracing and refresh
ing, and the cool nights which made it
so pleasant for sleep.
On making inquiries regarding the
winters in this country, learned that
the people never suffer from the cold,
as the weather is dry and invigorat-
ing, and in a great many places farm
ers and herders allow their stock to
run outside the year round.
One great advantage to the settlers
in Western Canada is the free cream
cries established by the government
and run exclusively in the interest
of the farmer.

The Investigation made by Prof

all the breeding places Of the birds
had been destroyed by killing the birds
themselves and taking their eggs. Not
