There is book in the post Office
department at Washington which is
always kept under lock and key. 1t
is one of the most treasured articles
In the department. This book con-
tains a set of postage stamps of
every country in the world. These
atamps come from Berne, Switzer-
fand. Seven hundred and fifty sets
Of each United States postage issue
are also distributed from that point.
Each country comprising the Inter-
national Postage union, when new
issue of stamps is out, sends a GER
tain number of sets to Berne. The
officials at that point then distrib-
ate the stamps to the different post
Office departments throughout the
world.-Detroit Free Press.

Queer Jnpnnese Marriage Custom.

Queer Japanese Marriage Custom.
Wild geese are considered the best
examples of conjugal felicity in the
animal world; thus the groom sends
the bride a pair of these birds, and
she in turn presents them to her
parents. To further emphasize the
matter the groom brings another
pair to the wedding, and they roost
in the room during the ceremony.
Their conduct is watched with care,
for they must not struggle to escape
during the proceedings. Fortunate
the bridegroom who cannot secure
the geese alive and must be content
to substitute toy limitations of the
birds, for then he has no anxiety lest
the wild propensity assert itself dur
ing the marriage rites, and thus
prove an i'll omen to the household.

A WISCONSIN, PAPER ON
WESTERN CANADA.
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, One Of the
Favoured Districts.

Tho following clipped from the cor
respondence columns Of the Eau Claire,
(Wisconcin) Leader, is but one Of
many letters of similar character
that might be published concerning
Western Canada, the land of No. !
Hard Wheat and the best cattle on
the continent. 1t is q simple matter
to reach the lands spoken of, the Cana
dian Government having agencies es-
tablished at St. Paul and Duluth,
Minnesota; Grafton, North Dakota;
Watertown, South Dakota; Omaha,
Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; Des
Mines, Iowa; Wausau and Milwaukee,
Wisconsin,; Chicago, Illinois; Indian
apolis, Indiana; Sault Ste. Marie, and
Detroit Michigan; Toledo and Column
bus, Ohio, and by writing to or call
ing upon any Of these Agents at these
points full information can be Sc
cured. This is great opportunity to
secure q home free Of cost or II you
desire to purchase lands; they can be
bought now at prices much lower than
will exist in few months. But read
what the correspondent referred to
has to say Of one particular district.
To the Editor of the Leader:
"The rush of the land seekers will
be to the prairie provinces Of the Do
minion of Canada. The allurements OF
q soil that yields 40 bushels Of wheat
to the acre are too great to be resist
ed, and an immense migration from
this country may be confidently pre-
dicted. People here laughed at first
at the idea of any one leaving the
United States for Canada, but the Do
minion authorities knew they had q
good thing and they stuck to it. Their
officials evidently knew the value OF
printers ink. They spared no ex-
pense in letting the people Of this
country know that these lands were
there and that they were exactly as
represented. They did more. They
sent out specimens of the crops raised
and samples of the grain. We have had
them here at four consecutive street
fairs, presided over by one Of their
ablest immigration officers. This gen.
tleman spared no pains. He explained
the value of the lands and the richness
of the soil from morning to night to
all corners.
"All this told in the long run. Sew.
eral went up from here to spy cut the
land, and, like Caleb, the son Of Jepun-
neh, and Joshua, the son Of Nun,
brought back a good report, and now
some ten families will leave here in .
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle
upon farms there, and others are pre-.
pairing to follow. OF course many viii
appear shocked at the idea Of anJ
one leaving the stars and stripes for
the Union Jack, but patriotism is but
o nomenclature after all, and our ex.
perience has been that in nine hun
dred and ninety-nine cases out Of a
thousand, a man is the most patriotic
where he can make the most money
and do the most harm to these whom
he hates"

SAVED BY A CLOAK.
Red Wrap OF a Tiny Girl Between the
Rails Serves M Danger Signal
and Stops Train.

Engineer David Whitsell was bring
ing Burlington train No. 1876 from Ly.
ons to Denver one afternoon lately.
It was heavy freight carrying stone
and coal. At rapid pace the engineer
was guiding it into Lafayette, reports
the Denver Republican. The grade
permits of high speed, and No. 1856 was
making time, flashing past mine build
ings and few houses scattered on the
outskirts of the town.
Rounding a curve. w. j. Fickler. who
was acting as brakeman, and was rid
ing in the cab, grabbed Whiteselrs
arm. From out the cab window Flick
Ter had seen red flag, the signal OF
danger, waving down the track. The
distance was probably 500 feet. The
engineer with all haste applied the air
and reversed the lever. The heavy
train responded with jar and rumble,
and, sliding with ever-decreasing
speed, came to a stop within 20 feet Of
little child, a girl about two years
Of age, wearing a red cloak with lace
collar.
The child was standing between the
rails, as If rooted there, gazing at the
locomotive with the liveliest curiosity.
It was the color of the cloak, a mere
speck of red in the converging lines Of
steel, that had saved her from death
under the wheels. Whitsell gave the
whistle leeway and with hoarse
screams and the bell tried to brighten
the child into realization of her dam
ger. There was a horrible fear in the
hearts of both men that the train
would not stop in time.
The whistle attracted the attention
of the inmates of a miners house near
the track. A woman ran swiftly to
the track, seized the child in the red
cloak, kissed it as she Rugged it to her
breast, burst into weeping as she car
ried her Justify crying burden down
the slight embankment. She forgot to
thank the train crew, but that didn't
matter. They were used to stopping
at danger signals.

The report that new Irish parlia- mentary party under the leadership of MT Healy has been formed, with a probable membership of about thirty out of representation of one hundred and five, is interesting and hopeful, says the editor of the outlook. MT HeaIy is one of the abIest members of the Irish contingent; he has also been one of the most pronounced in his an- tagonfsm to England. It is announced however, that the party which he is to lead is to be party of moderation. He has apparently discerned the fact that the real interests of the Irish can be better served by securing the coop eration of the most open-minded Eng lishmen than by continually irritating the English and adopting an irrecon- ci1iable program-a program, that is, which cannot be carried out, which breeds nothing but dissatisfaction, which would be barren of all practi- cal results, and therefore in the last degree understandable. If such a party has been formed under the 1ead- ership of so brilliant a man as MT HeaIy, and if it is to use common sense and the spirit of moderation, it is a good sign for the future of Ire Iand

Third Assistant Postmaster-Gen Madden, who has not the love of sec ond-class publications outside of news papers, is going to make a fight in the next congress for quadrupling the post age rate on periodicals. He also states that the time for penny postage has not arrived, and cannot be reached within the near future The usual fight will be made against the subsidy system for the fast mails unless penny postage is accorded, but it will share the usual fate. The probabilities are that no particular change will be made in the postal law. It may be that Rep resentatiye Loud, smarting underline defeat by reason of the action of the association of letter carriers, may re- ta1iate at this session by not allowing anything to pass that the postal au- thorities want passed.

strict and lawful rules as are the peo- pie that constitute the parties. If the party rules are left so that they can be knocked out of sight by every new committee that comes along then there is bound to be trouble continually. This incident should prove lesson to the democratic party. As it is now there has been no real harm done 1t is simply placing MT Flanagan in MT Hynes's position, and we feel confi- dent that the new man, if the supreme court does not reverse the decision, will fill the place Worthily. But the party rules should be made so that they cannot be overturned without a moments warning. There should be at least time to get together and see whether the proposed changes and ad- ditions, or amendments, will be bene- ficial to the whole party or whether 1t is being done through spite or malice, just to get even with some individual who some time or other had trod on the toes of some one else. If the party rules need revising, why not do it now, and not wait until the eve of an cleo ton, when harmony and not dissension in the ranks is needed.
