One Of the favorite remedies of
physicians is cod liver oil, and why is
one of the mysteries of the world of
medicine, when all there is about it is
an old fatty substance is wanted that
is easily digested and quite as easily
assimilated, fish oil being appropriated
with a small outlay Of digestive power.
Why cod liver oil, a product Of the de-
composition of fish refuse, should have
eve been CHANGED upon, when butter
and cream are natures supply. and at
once the most readily obtainable, is un-
sxplainable. While any one can lake
cream OF butter, the consuming of fish
oil requires the fortitude Of a saint and
the heroism of a martyr; and as we
know the oil does not agree with many,
and is hard of digestion in others.
Now, it has been demonstrated that
fresh, ~unsalted butter is rather more
digestible than oil. and is pleasant to
take on thinly-cut slices of bread, and
as high as four ounces a day of this
butter can be eaten with IMMUNITY by
sven delicate persons, and cream can
be taken to the full desire of the pa
tient.
When one is recovering from pros
trating sickness and the body needs
nourishment this fresh butter, it is
now asserted, has no equal in building
up the wasted tissues of the body, and
as a stimulant very hot, fresh milk is
without a rival, outside of the use OF
alcohol. which last is better left alone
when possible. says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. Growing children may be great
ly benefited by indulging in generous
amounts of butter, though it may seem
expensive, but it may prove the cheap
est in the end. Either of these RENE
dies can be taken without : doctors
prescription. and is outside of the "kil
or cure warrant.

HEIRESS TO MILLIONS.
MISS NORMA MUNRO CLAIMS VAST
ESTATE IN SCOTLAND.
Title of Lady Of Dumfries" Goes with
the Property which Is Said to Be
Worth $500. 600. ooO-YouDg Lady 10
Already Very wealthy.

A New York girl, Miss Norma L.
Munro, is nov in England pressing her
claims for an estate and title in Scot
land. The fortune is an enormous one.
5000. 000, 900, which If obtained will
make her the wealthiest woman in the
world. The story Of her claim to this
vast estate is interesting.
When her father, Norman L. Munro,
the New York publisher, died he was
engaged in claiming his right to the
estate OF the ancient family Of Hume
which lies in the county Dumfries, on
Solway Firth, Scotland. George, the
last Lord Hume. died intestate and the
greater number Of his heirs died one
by n before the bitter and protracted
quarrel over the division of the estate
was settled.
Land and moneys therefore reverted
to the British crown, with the provi-
zion that they be restored to the re-
naming heirs should they ever come
to an agreement.
At the time when Norman Munro
discovered that, as Granddaughter of
1855 ACAA AA9hACg AC wan 0A hCAA
to the Hume property, there was, it
appeared, only one other existent heir
"a Scotchman whose home was in
Edinburgh. These two were on the
road to a perfectly friendly agreement,
when both died within a short time
of each other, the Scotchman leaving
no descendants.
Miss Norma Munro therefore is, her
lawyers say, plainly the present exclu-
sive heir not only OF the property, but
Of the title which has always beer
borne by the ladies OF the house o
Hume-that of Lady of Dumfries. The
title, by way, does not appear in tbs
peerage, as 1t is only of local signih.
canoe. This double claim Miss Munro
recently went to England to press.
Apart from the Scottish fortune Mis-
Munro is wealthy, having inherited
many millions from her father.

GIANT SNOW MusHRnoMs.

Vaughan Cornish, F. r. G. s.. who
has recently made a journey across
Canada and British Columbia to study
there the surface forms of snow, de-
scribes in Parsons Magazine the
great snow mushrooms that he dis
covered in the upper valleys Of the
Selkirk mountains. Mushrooms Of
great variety in shape and size, he
says, are produced by the large fakes
of sticky snow falling on the fiat tops
of tree stumps. Some of the mush-
rooms have long stems-I noticed one
on a tree trunk 20 feet in h~eight-oth-
ers are little more than bosses show
ing above the snow on the ground.
Mushrooms on short stalks always
have hollows beneath them-into
which may easily fall-for their
caps shelter the ground beneath from
its proper share of snow. The mush-
room that formed on the 25-foot trunk
measured IL feet 6 inches in diameter.
The diameter of the tree itself at the
top was but four feet, so that the snow
projected beyond the trunk for four

the same as the depth of snow on the
ground-some five feet. On a short
tree trunk. having a diameter of two
feet. the snow cap measured nine feet
across and four feet in thickness. In
years of exceptionally heavy snowfall,
such as that of 1889. mushroom caps
weighing as much as two tons would
be found upon the largest stumps.-

FOUND AMERICANS BUYING LAND
AT SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN
CANADA.

a Michigan Farmer Visits Saskatoon
and Is Well Pleased.
MI. s. X. Lent was a delegate sent
from the farmers Of Allegan County,
Michigan, to Western Canada, to re-
port on the prospects for successful
settlement. His report is as follows:
| went from Winnipeg to Edmonton,
thence east n hundred miles by
wagon. / found the country in that
vicinity a rich, black loan. varying
rom IL inches to 3 feet deep; the
crops are simply something enormous;
wheat and oats by actual measure
ment often standing five feet in height.
] have been a farmer for forty years,
and consider 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 one alone, but a good
many. AS for root crops and garden
truck, in no country have / ever seen
their equal for all kinds except corn
and tomatoes; the nights being too cool
aor these to ripen well. AS q stock
country 1t has no equal. East Of Ed
monitor, on the head waters Of the
Vermillion River, I saw hay meadows
containing from 10 to 100 acres, the
grass standing 4 feet high, and.would
often cut 3 to 4 tons to the acre.
From Edmonton 1 passed through
some fine locations, namely, Weta-
Ekiwin, Lacombe and other points.
From Mcleod I went to Regina,
thence to Prince Albert, 2H miles
north Of the main line. For the first
nifty 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 l found a party of Americans
from Minnesota buying land for them
kelves-one party buying IL sections,
and the other 20 sections of land for
themselves, which they proposed to
improve at once.
/ have Travelled over twenty-three
different States and Territories in our
Union, and never in my life time have
] ever seen such magnificent crops and
especially as fine a stock country.
