A Valuable Find.

A splendid specimen of an ancient
ship has been discovered neal London
in the bed of the old River Lea, the
course Of which has been diverted in
order to permit excavations. The YES.
sci was found at a depth of seven feet
below the surface. 1t is about fifty feet
long, and is constructed # oak through.
Jut, with the exception Of the keel,
which is Of elm. The ribs of the boat
are secured to the sides by treenails,
while the timbers are secured with
crude and primitive, though well-made
iron nails. The floorboards are also
fastened together with nails, and the
calking is done with felt. Many anti
quarians, who have examined the relic,
think that it constitutes a part of the
fleet with which King Alfred the Great
fought against the Danes. Another
curious dugout boat. estimated to be
about $500 years old. was also I'M
earthed. and is to be deposited in the
British Museum.

A Michigan Farmer Visits Saskatoon
and Is Well Pleased.
Mr.. s. X. Lent was a delegate sent
from the farmers of Allegan County,
Michigan, to Western Canada to report
on the prospects for successful settle
ment. His report is as follows: l went
from Winnipeg to Edmonton. thence
east one hundred miles by wagon. l
found the country in that vicinity a
rich. black loan. varying from twelve
inches to three feet deep; the crops are
simply something enormous; wheat
and oats by actual measurement often
standing five feet in height. l have
been a farmer for forty years, and con
slider myself a fair judge of the yield
Of grain, and l saw wheat that would
yield SO bushels per acre, and oats that
would yield 100 bushels per acre; not
nj alone, but a good many. AS for
root crops and garden truck, in no
country have I w seen their equal
for all kinds except corn and tomatoes;
the nights being too cool for these to
ripen well. AS a stock country 1T has
no equal. East of Edmoston. on the
head waters of the Vermillion river, l
saw hay meadows containing from 10
to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet
high, and would often cut three to four
tons to the acre. From Edmonton 1
passed through some fine locations,
namely, Wetaskiwin, Lacombe and 9TH
err points.
From Macleod l went to Regina,
thence to Prince Albert, 247 miles
north of the main line. For the first
fifty miles is fine farming country. but
the next hundred miles is more Of a
stock country. Then at Saskatoon,
Rosthern and Duck Lake 1 found some
very fine farming country. SO good that
I found a party of Americans from
Minnesota buying land for themselves
one party buying twelve sections, and
the other twenty sections of land for
themselves. which they proposed to i'm.
prove at once.
1 have travelled over twenty-three
different States and territories in our
Union. and never in my lifetime have
l ever seer such magnificent crops and
especially as fine q stock country.

out avail. I took two bottles of Peruna
and felt so much improved that I kept on
taking it until l had used twelve bottles,
and I'M now completely cured Of the
dread disease"
Miss Nellie Grow, No. lila Edith
place, Memphis, Tenn, writes:
"As l was cured from a chronic case
of catarrh of the head, l am only too glad
to recommend Pcruna. l have had more
or less catarrh ever since l can remem-
Der. and have tried numerous remedies
and doctors prescriptions, and while
some things would help HE for the time
being, it is to Peruna that l owe a per-
feet cure. 1t was recommended to me
by a friend who had been. cured through
its use, so l gave it a trial and it not only
cured the catarrh but toned up the entire
system"
