At the very moment while the United
States is seriously considering the en-
actment of legislation restricting i'm
migration, Canada is making the most
energetic efforts in her history to at
tract new settlers. She is at work not
only in Europe, but in this country. IL
Illustrating the success which her agents
are meeting, it is asserted that in the
fiscal year which ended on the 30th Of
April last no less than $4,000 persons
from the Middle and Western States of
the Union took up land in Manitoba and
the territories embracing the provis-
ional provinces of AsSinoboia, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta. Concerning
Manitoba the general reader in this
country is well posted, but what does
he know about the provisional prov
inces? Assiniboia lies north of North
Dakota and eastern Montana and has
an area of 9O,34O square miles. Al
berta comprises 100000 square miles,
and lies north of western Montana. Sas
katchewan Is north Of ASSiniboia. Its
area is ia 200 square miles. The mer
curry goes pretty low in these regions
in the winter season, but there is little
snow, while the air is dry and the sky
is generally bright, so that cold is felt
less there than where a humid atm0s-
phere prevails. There are frequent Wis
it's of melting weather heralded by the
Chinook wind, and except during jan
uary and February the climate is not
Seyerer than in the region Of the great
lakes. Once all this country was sup
posed to be doomed forever to the status
of wilderness dotted with trading
posts Of the Hudson Bay Company.
Now it is recognized as available for
the production Of No. l hard wheat, in
crops ranging from thirty to sixty bush
els to the acre. When Canada comes
into the Union this great region will
be well settled with prosperous farm
ers. 1t seems to be far better coun-
try in many respects than that toward
the east. During the past half cen
fury there has been a steady stream OF
immigration to the United States from
Eastern Canada. The people whom it
brought here have bettered their condi-
ton, and have never evinced q desire to
so back. 1t is significant Of the super
iority Of the Canadian territory further
west that it is able to attract settlers
from the United States.

Few creatures create greater repul-

a recent number Of Country Life in
America, a writer describes some of his

The death of Rev. T. Dewitt TaImage
excites an immediate personal interest
among thousands, probably we could
truthfully say millions of people. The
great tabernacleS with which his name
was associated gave him but a small
fraction Of his following. His sermons
published in the newspaper press had
4 circulation and list of readers which
shamed the success of the largest sell
ing novel. The readers could be found
all over the country, in city and village
and upon the most remote farms. They
were OF the constant kind, too, never
missing the new chapter, while many
OF Thorn boarded the old ones. No
preacher Of his time, If we except
a hold upon the public, and it follows
as a matter of course that he must have
had exceptional powers to attain to
such influence. TO his fame as a writer
Of sermons he added that of popular
lecturer, but with all his success on
the platform and in the pulpit there
were not a few auditors whom he dis
tinct1y repealed by his extravagances of
manner. And though his Brooklyn
church in particular gave signal proofs
Of its devotion to him, the finest tribute
he ever received was in the loyalty of
his larger reading public.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Mr.. johnson Was Not Killed by His
Terrible Fall.

Terrible Fall.
1t seemed certain that Mr.. Johnson
had suffered severely. He had fallen
from the third story while engaged in
cleaning windows. The evening paper
said it was feared that he was injured
internally and when little George Wash
ington Johnson went up the alley that
evening whistling cheerfully, as his
wont was, and Mrs. Mayberry called
to him from her kitchen window, she
was Mortified to learn the full extent Of
the calamity.
"Yes'm." said George, with ANNA
ton, "pa he done broke his back"
The whistle was resumed as the little
negro replaced his cap and went on,
but Mrs. Mayberry excused his 1nsen-
sibility Oh the ground of his youth.
Mr.. Johnson, the janitor of the "Leav-
enworth," was q good husband and
father, as we'll as a sober, hard-Work-
ing man, and it made Mrs. Mayberry
sad that he should die before his chill
dren were able to appreciate him. And
what would the mother and the six
boys and girls do without him! Mrs.
Mayberry began to plan nelghbor-
hood subscription to pay the funeral
expenses, at least, and perhaps give the
family start toward independence.
It was still early in the following
forenoon when the maid called her to
the kitchen to receive the elaborate
courtesies of Ida Sophronia Johnson,
aged - years.
'Pa sent me, Mis- Mayberry," Ida
Sophronia explained. Gould you please
let him have some photographers or old
magazines to look at? He says it's
terrible to have to lay still and smell

Mrs. Mayberry hastily made up an
attractive package. How is your faith

Ida Sophronia responded, thoughtfully.
when was at de hospital dis mornin'

his bed. so t he wouldn't have to hold
anything in his hand"
At that moment visitors from a dis
lance arrived, and Mrs. Mayberry had
to forego the many questions she want
ed to ask. The guests, in fact, crowded
the Johnsons completely out of her
mind for twentyfour hours, so that
she felt a spasm of self-reproach when
one of her own children mentioned the
injured man next day.
'Mr. johnson came home from the
hospital in a hack" the boy told her.
HE said they starved him there"
Poor mani" breathed Mrs. Mayber-
~, pityingly. II suppose he felt that
he'd rather die at home. must see

So on the morrow she loaded a bas-
ket with things good to eat, and situa-
BILE for an invalid. and started for the

in the basement OF which the janitor
and his family livei. She dreaded to

EDWARD EVERETT HALE.

Whose sOth Birthday Was Recently
Celebrated.
The SOth birthday anniversary Of Ed
ward Everett Hale, the distinguished
scholar and clergyman, was celebrated
in Boston recently, when Senator'S
Hoar and President Elliot, Of Harvard,
together with many other men Of dis
tinction, were present and eulogized
Mr.. Hale. In spite Of his extreme age
Mr.. Hale is still enjoying health which
enables him to take part in such an
affair as that of Thursday with keen
Zest.
Dr. Hale was born in Boston. He be-
longs to that eminent New England
family which has given to this country
many noted clergymen, journalists and
other professional men and the great
soldier, Nathan Hale, whose death was
an example of patriotism which has
few parallels in history. The subject

After several years of study doctors
are agreed that the yermiform appen-
dix, which is located at the end of one
of the human canals, has no object to
serve in mans body. 1t Is useless
growth, they declare, and all bodies
would be better off without it's presence
At one time 1t might have served a pur-
pose, but whatever function it perform
ed is not now in evidence. While thus
discoursing, does not the thought come
TO mind that some men, yes, and some
women. in this world are apparently as
useless TO the body polite as the vermi-
form appendix is to the human system

nothing to this life's brightness or to its

HOW DYNAMITE is MADE.
Erroneous Ideas About Ex p1osixc Pow
Nrs-WiI1 Burn as OuietIy as Mood !

E~roneous Ideas About Ex pIosivc Pow
ers-Wi11 Burn as Quietly as Wood.
Dynamite is composed of nitrO-glycer-
fne and a dry substance called the alb
sorbent. In its manufacture we make
first the tro-glycerine, which is pre-
pared by the action of a mixture Of
concentrated nitric and suIphuric acids
upon glycerine, introduced drop by
drop. The nitro lycerine is introduced
into a large tank arrangement which
is filed with the absorbent-a form Of
powder made up Of wood meal and
nitrate of soda. AS a result Of this
absorbing process dynamite is obtain
ed. The substance very closely resem-
bles brown sugar.
Then the dynamite is made into car
tridges or sticks. The cartridges are
cylindrical in shape and are generally
s inches long, IA inches in diameter,
and weigh half a pound each. The
outer coating of the stick is Of heavy
waxed paper. In fact, a cartridge is
simply cylinder of this waxed paper
tightly packed with dynamite.
1t is generally believed that it would
be suicide for any one to touch a match
to stick Of dynamite. The idea is en-
tirely false. Before dynamite will ex-
plode from heat the temperature must
rise to $50 degrees Dynamite will
burn like a stick of wood, without the
least danger of explosion. 1 saw a
freight house containing 500 pounds Of
dynamite burn and with it the dyna-
mite, as quietly as so much coal.-Pop-

THIS OLD TREE is A TOWER.

Nature has taken one Of her funny
freaks in forming a curious tree, which
stands on the old Kings Highway, be-
tween Saugerties and Kingston. Chill

although it is hollow from its top to
the bottom, with room enough at the
bottom for three or four people to sit in,
each having plenty of room.
