etc. to those interested in the coun-
try As has been said. the climate is
excellent. The elevation of this part
of Canada is about 1850 feet above
the sea. about twice that of the aver
age for Minnesota. 1t is very desira-
BILE altitude The country has very
equabe climate. taking the seasons
through The winters are bright. and
the summers are pleasantly warm r.
f. Stupart. director of the meteorologi-
cal service for Canada says:
THE salient features of the climate
of the Canadian northwest territories
are a clear hracing atmosphere dur
ing the greater part OF the year and
a medium rainfall and snowfall. The
mean temperature for July at Ninni-
peg is 66, and Prince Albert g. The
former temperature is higher than at
anS part of England. and the latter is
very similar to that found i'm many
parts of the southern Countries
At Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is rs and the mini
mum rs. Owing TO this high day tenn
perature with much sunshine. the
crops come to maturity quickly
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche-
wan valley. being about Is inches an
nually. 1t is notable that about a.
per cent of the moisture fails during
the crop months. Thus. Western Can
ada gets as much moisture when il is
needed. and with several hours more
sunshine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season. il is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.
Winter ends quickly. sowing is done
during April and sometimes i'm March.
Harvest comes in August. about the
middle. Cyclones. billiards. dust and
sand storms are unknown.

This is the recommendation of the

filed yesterday by the committee which

Swayne. The report says that lit is

Quoted himself as to earn the reputa-
ton of being susceptible to the malign
influence of man of VIGOROUSLY bao
character. He has shown himself To
be harsh, tyrannical and oppressive
ulmlndful of the common rule of a
Just and upright Judge. He has con.
tinuously and persistently violated the
plain words of statute of the United
States and subjected himself to punish
ment for commission of high INSIDE
meanor. He has fined and imprisoned
members of his bar for constructive
contempt without authority of law and
without decent show of reason. For
all these reasons, Charles Swayne has
been guilty of misbehavior in his Office
OF Judge, and grossly violated the con.
ditions upon which he holds this hon.
orable appointment The honor of the
judiciary, the orderly and decent adj
ministration of public justice and the

The proposition to investigate the

congressional committee was again
brought forward in the house of rep
resentatives and was not disposed of
until there had been display Of
bitter partisanship between the re-
publican and democrat leaders. Rep
resentatiye John Sharp Williams oil

offered an amendment to the postal
appropriation bill providing for the
investigation. Chairman Overstreet OF
the postoffice committee made point
OF order against the amendment on
the ground that it was new legislation
and had no place in an appropriation
bill. Representative Boutell, in the
chair, sustained the point Thereupon

decision of the chair. Then followed

WOES OF THE SALESWoMAN.

Perhaps there are some seasons of
the year during which the saleswoman
in the city store has a pleasant time
of it, but the few weeks preceding the
holidays are not co be reckoned as such
times. She is compelled to be at her
post early and late and her work seems
TO grow harder every hour OF the time.

Chronicle, tries to look intelligent
when a man comes to her and says:
II want something for a young girl
with golden hair and blue eyes, about
21 years old, to cost not more than

CARD CASES FOR 1904.

Card cases. says the PHILADELPHIA
Record, as has been observed by those
who have bought, them. as we'll as
those whom good old Kris Kringle has
favored in this particular way, are
large. Though mems card cases re-
main comparatively tiny affairs, the
card case feminine approaches a small,
fiat book in size. Some of the very
handsome ones measure four by six
inches. Because of their absolute fiat
ness these do not appear large. much
less clumsy. They are distinctly ele-
giant, and actually seem to carry with
them an air of leisure.
In some cases they are built like a
mans note fold, there being a pocket
the entire length, with an opening
across one end. Into this is thrust the
fair owners dainty mouchoir, which
is certainly very convenient as compar-
ed to slowing it UP ones sleeve or in
side the coat or bodice. A word of
caution is. however. in order right
here. Ar ordinarily heavy or bulky
pocket handkerchief must not be car
ried thus unless one be willing to sac
rifice the shape of the card case. And
we all of us know just how impos-
sible is a card case which has be-
come bulgy from being packed full of
everything from the legitimate burden
to Wads of samples. 1t is unwise and
frightfully uneconomical to use a card
case for much outside of visiting cards,
the afore- suggested handkerchief of the
most hlmy texture being about the
only exception.
