MICROBE PROOF HOUSE.

Among recent inventions is new kind of dwelling house. It is remarkable in many ways, being suitable for any climate, whether tropical or arctic, Is air and water tight, and as near disease proof as any build ing can be made. It Is warranted microbe proof, and should any stray dfsease-produc- ing germ, through accident or oversight. find It's way within the forbidden precinct the conditions 1t will find there are so ob- noxious to It's taste and feelings that 1t will immediately die of despair. The new kind of building is Japanese invention. Dr. w. Van der Hayden, of Yokohama, Is It's originator and builder. He constructed one for his own use, and lived in 1t for more than year, testing its qualities.
 The walls of this building are constructed of series of glass boxes filled with . solu- ton of alum. These boxes are formed of two panes of glass, each fOur-tenths of an inch In thickness. The glass Is fixed In Iron frames screwed together. The hole Is 30 constructed that the building will resist the influence of heat, cold, shocks and earth quakes. Between the joints of iron frame work felt Is inserted, and then the space ip covered with boards.
 The roof is flat, and Is supported by cast. iron pillars. It Is also of glass, with strips of rubber covering the joints. Over the glass Is spread 8 thin layer of ashes, and upon this is placed light framework. which Is covered with cement to protect the inter- for from the radiation of heat.
 The building has outer and inner walls with space between to afford air passage, which neutralizes all the atmospheric infu- ences without. No doors appear In the building proper. The superstructure Is placed upon foundation of bricks the walls of which enclose kind of basement. and It is through this that ingress and egress to and from the residence portion are obtained.
 The building is heated and ventilated on the most scientific principles. Pure air is obtained from tn, upper atmosphere and conveyed to the interior of the building by pipes. But first 1t is screened through 1ne wire netting and altered through cotton bat ting to deprive 1t of any microbes or other disease germs which 1t may contain. The heat Is also brought to the house through pipes running to open hues The whole limits of the house are made as aseptic as wound dressing Of lister.

while If more severe style is desired the only trimming may be the deep embroid- cred cuffs and stock collar, with just the narrowest of embI oidery yokes to give more becoming line around the neck.
 Rows of machine stitching are popular again this winter, and among the newest of the velvet costumes are seen several most eiaborateiy trimmed with straps of silk braid and rows of machine stitching in queer Zig gag patterns. The braid in lat, broad pattern having considerable of lustre Is most eHective, although 1t does not at first seem to be quite handsome enough to be put on silk velvet. When the gown Is of colored velvet the braid and stitching must always match exactly, though occasionally a black velvet gown with stitching in white Is seen, but this Is not so smart as the all black, which has both black stitching and black braid.
 stitching in cloth has been fashionable for long time, and is always an effective trimming. This winter 1t is more popular taan ever, and the stitching can either be of silk exactly to match the material. or of lighter or darker shade as desired.

 The combination of chiffon and lace is by no means a new fad, but as shown In the Illustration quite a new effect has been gained by the appliquing of lace and fine hand embroidery on the chiffon. Narrow and wide rufies of chiffon edged with lace have

Grain in Western Canada.

The annual report Of the depart
nent Of agriculture Of the Northwest
Territories is at hand with detailed
reports of the grain crops for the last
five years. The region embraced in
the report covers Saskatchewan, AS
siniboia and Alberta. 1t is interesting
to note the steady increase in the
size of the grain crops from year to
year. This is largely due to the in
huy of settlers from the grain raising
states Of the American Union.
The statistics of the yield Of wheat
are (1S9S) 5,542,57S bushels, acreage

(19O2) 1S,956,S5O bushels, acreage
G25,75S, yield per acre 223O, The
average yield for the fye-year period
was 1858 bushels per acre, which Is
remarkably large fer the western con-
tinent. 1t will be noted that the acre
age showed steady increase from
year to year and more than doubled
in the five years
The oat crop showed a still more
advance, as follows:

fighter that could make the turtle look

If Capt Ike Watson had possessed the
intelligence of blind mud cat he would
have fought shy Of Capt, Enoch and his
challenge. Capt. Ike had all the honors
and all the money up to date, and there
was no call for him to sit in the game
again. But the more he pondered the
more impossible 1t seemed to him that
anything not a hundred pounds over
weight could beat the swapping turtle.
Cant. Enoch had some money left. 1t
would be a crushing blow to defeat him
second time. So Capt. Ike agreed to
the match.
when the time for the fight came Capt.
Ike placed his swapping turtle at the end
Of the ring, where ii stood, its head half

tate until the proper time, lie put down
the bag in front of the pugilstic swapping
turtle. Then he stepped back quite u
distance and poked open the top of the
bag with an extra long fishing pole. Then
he gave the bottom of the bag q jab, 80
that whatever animal was within would
come cut and come out mad. The next
instant his champion emerged from the
bag. II emerged in mighty veXed state
of mind, too, and anxious to make its
wrath felt. 1t was fat, full-srown pole
cat.

went. People who say n swapping tur-

former champion fairly galloped from the
battlefield. And Capt, Enoch won honor,
revenge for the defeat Of his cherished
bulldog, and all the money which Capt.
Ike had wagered on the event.
Capt Enoch pocketed the money he
had won with mighty satisfied express
sion on his honest old countenance' Then
he looked over Mt Capt Ike, contemp-
tuols like, and added insult to injury by
saying;
"Whlle am glad to have avenged the
defeat Of my valued and gentle pet, In

CARS RUN ON ALL LINES,
All But Fifty-Nime of The Old Employees

Chicago, Noy. 2S.-Cars were run by
the Chicago City railway for the first
time after dark since the strike was
called two weeks ago. While the
struggle was on the service operated
under police protection, was abandoned
each day after A o'clock in order to
avoid any possible attack that might
be made by strike sympathizers under
cover of darkness The entire system
was put in operation and there was
little evidence left Of the struggle that
came to u peaceablc ending, When
the strikers reported for duty all of
them with the exception of 50 were
given work. Of the 50 whom the com.
pany refused TO rcinstate So were
train service employees and SIX were
of the Cable Spiders union.
These men, it is asserted by the officers
Of the railway, were guilty sof disor'
derby conduct during the dispute, and,
according to the terms Of settlement
were not entitled to reinstatement.
