HOURS OF LABOR INCREASED.
Seven Hour Day for Government

The unanimous decision was reach
ed by the cabinet recently that the
hours of labor for government en-
poyes shall be from a. m. until 4:30
p. NJ, half hour of that time being
allowed for luncheon. The new regu-
lation will apply only to the executive
departments, and will go into effect
next Monday. Heretofore the depart
mental hours have been from a. m.
until o'clock, with half hour for
luncheon. The decision reached af-
lects not only the employees in Wash
ngton, but also those in the depart
ments throughout the country. The
question was raised by the appropria-
IONS committees of the house and SEN
ate on applications made to them by
the heads of departments for addition
al clerks. 1t was pointed out by the
committee that the law distinctly pro-
Vded that employees of the depart
ments should work seven hours a day,
and that under the present system the
government was getting only six and

urged that as a matter of economy in

French Law for Travellers.

English spanking travellers are likely
to be imposed upon by French trades
men unless they are familiar with
their rights and liabilities under the
laws of France.
French dressmakers especially are
very apt to try to make unwary trav-
ellers take iIl-htting garments. A case
Of this kind recently occurred in Paris.
A certain Nine. Gianaclis had ordered
dresses to the amount OF thirty-four
hundred francs, and, after many try
ings-on and numerous delays, she re-
fused to receive them, as they still did
not fit. The dressmaker nevertheless,
sent them on with the bill In full, and
on refusal Of payment, attached Nine.
Gianaclis' entire wardrobe. Nine.
Gianaclis, In order to save her ward
robe, was obliged to pay the three
thousand three hundred and ninety five
francs over to the court off1cor. But
when the case was heard In court, the
Judge not only ordered the three thous-
and three hundred and ninety five
francs refunded to Nine. Gianaclis, but
mulcted the dressmaker In good
round sum for damages, and assessed
upon her the court costs. He held that

Had His Goats In as Guests.

W Z. D. Stokes has a son whose
initials are the same as his fathers,
though everybody around the Ansonia
calls him "Waddy." The other day
Waddy had a party for his little
friends and he insisted that his team
of goats should be brought in from
the Stakes country place to share in
the festivities.
AS Waddy generally has his own
way the goats were brought into town,
a room on the seventeenth floor be-
ing converted into a stable for them
for the time being.
When the day of the party arrived
the goats took a silent part In the
pleasures of the afternoon, looking on
in that particularly wise manner
which is the way of goats. When
the party ZANE to an end each of the
little guests received a real canary
In a brass cage to take home as a
souvenir.

fered to trade it with Waddy for q
goat.

IN A PRAIRIE LAND.
Editorial Correspondence
Moose Jaw, Assiniboia

Moose Jaw, A~ssinibofa-
Farmers Review.
Chicago, July %, 1903.
Most OF the prairies in the United
States have ceased TO exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards. for.
ests and farm buildings. But in
Western Canada the prairies still
stretch grandly from horizon to hori
yon as yet unmarried by the hand OF
man, save where the iron road has
been laid. To a city man there ia
something deliciously restful about
the vast grassy solitudes.
Numerous clumps OF trees mark the
ourse OF the Assiniboine river, which
keeps in sight of the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is one OF the notable things
about all the landscape Of Western
Canada. II Is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific railway from its eastern termi-
nus TO the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points. but
never TO the exclusion OF grass. There
IS thus not a mile OF this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose-either for filling or ranch
ing.
Moose Jaw is a town Of over 1000
Inhabitants. and one Of the most i'm
portant places in Assiniboia, being the
center of q very good farming coun.
try and a great grain and stock ship
ping point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
%ranching go hand In hand; for near
the town was seen q herd OF beef
cattle several hundred In number. On
another side was seen a good sized
herd of dairy cows, the property Of
the citizens In the town.
I'm riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields OF alfalfa. The great
need Of the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted. as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some of the farms. and the trees on
the r~esidcace lots in the town.
Stories were told the writer OF
men who last year cleared from their
wheat crop more than the land on
which II was grown originally cost
them. This Is easy to believe. In view
of the large crop and high price for
wheat last year."-Henry +. Thurston.
BY sending your address 70 any
agent of the Canadian Government
you will have mailed to you a copy OF
an atlas, railway rates. etc, giving
