THE BEST HE EVER SAW.

Farming Possibilities of
Western Canada

Just at present considerable inter-
est is being aroused in the fact that
few new districts (of limited acreage)
are being opened out by the Canadian
Government in Saskatchewan and AS
siniboia (Western Canada, and any
information concerning this country
is eagerly sought. Mr.. w. R. Corser,
of Higginsville, Lafayette Co., Mo-, was
a delegate there during last summer,
and writing of his impressions he
says:
Il found surprising yields of grain
of all descriptions. One farmer 1 Wis

100 bushels to acre.

stock. Swine do well and there is no
disease amongst them. They are a

hight, raised those charming and
soaked eXtremities to the SILL laid
back her head and closed her eyes to
take, literally, her death of cold.
There she sat for long time, weaving
who knows what wild dreams of love
and death, until she could bear the
chill no more. After which she rose,
made a careful toilet, and went down
stairs to dine with her parents and
some guests. In fact, the Willard fam
lily. She was even more than usual gay,
gentle, DESTROYS to please everyone
proudly cherishing her secret of sui
eide.
But fate willed to make her ridicu-
lous. The next morning, indeed, she
felt the i'll effects of the mad exposure.
And how? Oh realism, what crimes
against the poetic are committed in
thy name! Truly, neither more nor
less than cold in the head; one of
those colds which are a symphony in
sneezes; when the eyes weep on their
own account; when the lips are tumid
and parched and apart, because one
must breathe through the mouth if at
all; the nose-and Alice's was charm
ing, delicate, thoroughbred little
nose-becomes red, swollen, shape
less, unremittingly importunate in it's
demands for attention. What a state
for heroine! Figure to yourself the
Tragic Muse with the snuffles! Poor
Alice was utterly desolate. She de-
tested her good lungs of a vigorous
contralto, which had resisted the cold
damps of the winter twilight; she
hated still more the weak little nose
that had succumbed. By force of hab-
it she went, a few minutes before
three, to watch for the passing of her
dear Anatole. At the supreme mo-
ment her feelings got the better of her
caution; she leaned forward to look
at him; he glanced up, saw her and
bowed. Then a derisive smile curled
his mustache; his shoulders gave a
true Partisan shrug, very expressive.

CITIES THAT GO ASTRAY.
World That Have Been Re-
Gently Reclaimed.

The closing years of the nineteenth
century were marked with many no.
table achievements in archaeology.
On the site of ancient Ilium, on the
plains of Persia, and in the mystery
haunted valley of the Nile reverent
hands unveiled the long-hidden Sc
crets of the past and added a
wondrous illumination to our knowl-
edge of the very dawn of history. In
such a work it is gratifying to record
that American bounty and enterprise
and scholarship played a most hon
orable part, this youngest of the
worlds nations being foremost in
making acquaintance with the relics
of the oldest, says a London ex-
change.
Forty years ago Marquis De Vogue
discovered that in that part of Syria
lying back of the Antioch traces of
an ancient civilization of high or
der. He was able, however, to gain
only a peep into the marvellous vol
ume written in mighty monuments
amid the desert sands. 1t was left
lOT american tHItI pIlSt III IIlc ldSG
two years of the century to fully I'M
fold the ample pages for the amaze
ment and instruction of the world
No less than 80 long forgotten cities
have been discovered and identified,
some of them with architectural re-
mains of surprising grandeur and of
exceptional interest as eXpositions of
the civilization and the social order
that there prevailed.
The admira bic workmanship of an
cient times and the climatic condi-
tons of those desert uplands have
served to keep these cities from de-
cay, so that they stand there to-day
substantially as they were 1000 years
ago, and the camera to-day lays be-
fore us scenes upon which Zenobia
may have looked and across which
Belisarius may have swept in tri-
umph. The story is one that reflects
high credit upon the American ex-
plorers who did the work, and upon
the four Americans whose names are
yet modestly withheld, whose gen
erous bounty supplied the means
through which alone the doing of the
work was possible.

parlor were placed at his disposal,
says the Youths Companion. This
was not very enthusiastically done,
but at that no one could wonder.
The general began talking with the
old lady of the family, the farmers
wife.
He spoke through an interpreter,
and her answers were given with so
little grace that he relinquished the
task. Only once had her stern face
lighted; this was when he asked
about her youngest fighting son,
boy of IA. Her lips quivered; emo
ton was not really frozen within her.
Next day the general had occasion
to ride past the farm, and he called,
for moment, upon her.
"Tell her." said he to the inter-
prefer, that we have won the battle
to-day"
They told her, and she bowed her
head with some dignity.
Tell her the Dutch will certainly
be beaten.
No answer.
Perhaps her sons will be taken
prisoners.
Still no reply.
"Now, tell her to write down on a
piece of paper the name of the young

Then, when he is captured, she must
write to me, and we will not keep
him a prisoner. We will send him
back to her.

Extra Inducement.

The Merchants Review tells this story
on drummer for an Ithaca grocery
house: The grocer recently sent out an
energetic young man to canvass for new
customers. He worked hard for the in
terests of his employer, and also some
what wearied the good housewives whom
he called upon. At one house he used up
his whole line of argument and gasped
for more, as the lady of the house still
said she was perfectly satisfied with her
regular grocer. Then a happy thought
struck him, and he said: Mrs. Jones, [

Children should BE Taught Thrift.

A savings bank account is a great
incentive to thrift in children. If one
is begun for the baby, even with a
very small sum, and added to through
childhood and youth with certain
proportion of the money that other

thoughtlessly by the child, there will
be a very respectable amount on the

Alice shuddered into a forlorn little
heap; he had seen her so disfigured;
that horrible nose had ended every
thing! Otherwise, at least he might
have loved her. But how could he be
expected to carry forever in his heart
the image of that infamed face? She
had not been able to kill herself-only
his love! Alice ran to the mirror,
assured herself she was frightful, and
wept bitterly.
Now appeared her mother, very ten
der to her ailing child, with Cousin
Fred, who had answered a summons
in place of his principal, out of town
on an important consultation. 1t is
possible that Cousin Fred understood
something of the state of affairs.
'How did you take your cold, Alice?"
he inquired.
81 took it on purpose-there! she
burst forth. Everybody is cruel. Let
me diet"
Impossible to oblige you, my dear
little cousin. There is but one similar
case on record where the patient died
Of sneezing, and his head had been
previously sliced off with so sharp
sword that he didn't know it until he
exploded sneeze and his head flew
across the room. You, my good Alice,
have an acute coryza, which, being in
terpreted, is a bad cold in the head;
and suspect that the larynx, pharynx
and epiglottis-in fact, the whole
Latin quarter of your throat-may
also be somewhat involved. But you
will soon get over it. We get over all
sorts of things, you know" said the
young doctor, with an affectionate
common sense which made Alice feel
little less forlorn.
The next day this assiduous physi-
clan came again, bringing a box of
marshmallow caramels and the latest
bit of gossip-the elopement the even
ing before of NJ. Anatole Fleury and
Miss Lily Vansittart. A telegram had
been received from the pair, welded
in New Jersey; Lily's father, in order
to give the best appearance to the
affair, had allowed it to be reported at
once at the club. Alice blamed bit
