wasbinoton,s Money is New.

The most beautiful money in the
world either paper or metal, is that in
circulation in Washington, says the
New York Herald. The bills come
from the treasury every day crisp
and clean, beautiful specimens of the
engraver's art. The metallic curren-
cy is bright and shining from the
mint. Almost all the currency paid
over the counter in the cash room
of the United States treasury is new.
Bills that come there soiled in the
least are retired and new ones issued
in their stead.
In the Riggs National Bank is a
commodious room in the front portion
of the building, especially for the use
of women customers. There is a
special window also for their use in
transacting business with the bank,
and all checks, drafts and certificates
presented for payment are always
paid in the new money, either gold,
silver, paper or nickel, no piece ever
having before been put in circulation
from the treasury. except in handling
it over to the bank.

Test of Quality.

Miss Nina Gage, a trained nurse,
and Leroy Leach, the famous rife
shot, were married in New Orleans
the other day, after peculiarly ro-
mantle courtship.
They had known each other only a
few weeks. but under circumstances
that enabled them to know each 9TH
er well, for he WAS sick and she
nursed him.
The man who can win a woman's
love when he is sick and at his worst
must be worthy of her. And the wom-
an who can allay sick mans pain
and lead his narrowed mind from his
little selfishnesses and petulencies
out into the sunshine of love is wor-
thy of the best man ever born.
To some unthinking ones this court
ship may seem commonplace one.
There is-no dash about it. 1t is not
a brilliant scene set in the glamour of
adventure or rivalry and attended by
the glitter of ballroom or by clank
of sword or by fervid speech that
sounds high to heaven.

The returns of the Interior Depart
ment show that the movement OF
American farmers northward to-Can-
ada is each month affecting larger
areas Of the United States. Time was,
says the Winnipeg Free Press, when
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa fur
nished the Dominion with the main
bulk of its American contingent. Last
year, however, forty-four states and
districts were represented in the Of
fetal statement as to the former resi-
dence of Americans who had home
steaded in Canada. The Dakotas still
head the list, with 1905 entries, Min
nesota being close second with 1887,
but with the exception Of alabama
and Mississippi and Delaware every
state in the Union supplied settlers
who, in order to secure farms in the
fertile prairie country Of Canada. be-
came citizens of and took the oath OF
allegiance to, the Dominion. Last
year no less than 1,S41 Americans
entered for homestead lands in Can
ada.
From the Gulf to the Boundary,
and from ocean to ocean, the trek to
the Dominion goes on. Not only the
wheatgrowers of the central Missis-
sippi valley, but the ranchers of Texas
and New Mexico, and the cultivators
of the comparatively virgin soil OF
Oklahoma, are pouring towards the
productive vacant lands of the Cana
dian Northwest. 1t is no tentative,
half-hearted departure for an alien
country that is manifested in this
exodus; it has become almost rush
to secure possession of land which 1t
is feared by those imperfectly &C
uuainted with the vast area OF Can
ada's vacant lands. may all be acquir-
ed before they arrive. There Is no
element of speculation or experiment
in the migration. The settlers have
full information respecting the soil,
wealth, the farming methods. the
laws, taxation and system of govern
ment of the country to which they
are moving, and they realize that the
opportunities offered in Canada are in
every respect better and greater than
those they have enjoyed in the land
they are leaving.
Canada can well afford to welcome
cordially every american farmer com
ing to the Dominion. There is nc
question but that these immigrants
make the most desirable settlers OBJ

With all the Injuries and pleasures
of this life, its big enjoyments and its
smaller comforts, there is an offset or
antithesis which we have to contend
with in the form of aches and pains.
In some way and by some means
every one has a touch of them in
some form at some time. Trifing as
some of. them may be, the risk Is
that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con-
slant torture. There is nothing, there
fore, of this kind that we have a
right to trifie with. Taken in time,
the worst forms of pains and aches
are easily subdued and cured by the
free use Of st. Jacobs OIL No well
