DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution In
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir:-"The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from Laryngi-
tbs, and loss of voice. The result of the
treatment vas most satisfactory. She
found great relief, and after farther use
of the medicine we hope to be able to
say she Is entirely cured" Sisters of
Charity.
This young girl was under the care of
the Sisters Of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat, with good re-
suits, rs the above letter t~estifies.
From a Catholic institution I'm Gen.

mend from the Sister Superior:

than to come upon a we'll known anec-

warmth of u greeting is not so much
an expression of affection as an ebul-
lition OF joy at the sight of a familiar

So it Is with real %pleausre that we

Emile de Girardin. II especially re-

me best expressed in the American
smile: Busy as a bee in q tar barrel
There was indeed, one thing to his
credit; he had somehow inspired his

with a belief in his greatness, and a
pretty story was current Illustrating

In a Prairie Land.
Editorial correspondence.)

Moose Jaw, Assiniboia.
(Farmers' Review, Chicago, July %,
19O3.)
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 West
ern Canada the prairies still stretch
grandly from horizon to horizon as yet
unmarried by the hand of man, save
where the iron road has been laid. 10
a city mar there is something deli
ciously restful about the vast grassy
solitudes.
Numerous clumps of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine River, which
keeps in sight Of the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is one Of the notable things
Canada. 1t is a remarkable fact that
the entire length Of the Canadian Pa
cifc Railway from it's eastern termi-
nus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points, but
~ LAS u b . IltlC
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 owe 1000
inhabitants and one Of the most i'm
portant places in Assiniboia, being the
center of a very good farming country
and a great grain and stock shipping
point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand in hand; for near
the town was seen a herd of beef cat
tie several hundred in number. On
another side was seen a good sized
herd of dairy cows, the property of
the citizens in the town.
in 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 'aon
some OF the farms and the trees on
the residence 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 il
was grown originally cost them. This
is easy to believe in view of the large
crop and high price for wheat last
year."-Henry F. Thurston.

SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH
Use Pe-ru-na for La Grippe
and Winter Catarrh

IN EVERY country of the civilized
1 world the Sisters of Charity are
known. Not only do they minister
to the spiritual and intellectual needs
of the charges committed to their care,
but they also minister to their bodily
needs.
Whenever coughs or colds, Ia grippe
Or pneumonia make their appearance
among the children these Sisters are not
disconnected, but know exactly the rem
edies to apply.
With SO many children to take care Of
and to protect from climate and disease
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a never-failing safeguard.

Rider Haggard's New
Story-"The Brethren.

The press has been full recently ol
the peculiar psychological experience
OF Rider Haggard, the author o'
"She," Allen Quirterman," ,"etc. The
story is that Mr.. Haggard had an
intense and vivid dream, in which he
saw his favorite dog Bob killed by
a railroad train. A few days aftel
the novelist discovered that the dog
had died under conditions practically
the same as those he witnessed in BIT
dream. The incident seemed almost
to establish the fact OF telepathiC
communication between an anima
aud a man.
Another peculiar iacti in connection
with the story is that Mr., Haggard''
last book, "The Brethren" is found
cd upon a mysterious revelation
which comes to one Of the leading
characters In a dream. "The Breth
ren" will be published in America th!
fall by Mcclure Phillips,

Seed Wheat.

Original experiments by the Uni
versity OF Missouri with eighty vari-
eties OF wheat show that the annual
yield OF this grain in Missouri might
be increased more than 100000
bushels II the farmers OF the state
would give more attention to the
selection of seed. Prof. +. B. Mum
ford, acting dean Of the agricultural
department, under whose direction
the experiments have been performed,
says:
"a large number ofaccurate exper-
iments show conclusively that large
plump grains Of wheat always give
larger and more vigorousplants and
better yield than small grains. One
farmer who at the request OF the
college screened his wheat, sowing
only the larger grains for several
years, thus increased his yield five
bushels an acre. On the state farm
where the experiments have been
under the immediate direction of the
college a similar increase has been
apparent in almost every case where
we have used full, plump grains
for seed. These results agree almost
exactly with those secured by the
Tennessee experiment station which
found that Poole wheat grown from
large grains yielded twenty-seven
bushels an acre, while the same va
riety from small grain yielded only
twenty-five and six tenths bushels.
Most OF the large grains are produced
in large, vigorous heads, containing
many kernels and thus follows that
selecting large grains for seed results
in selecting them from the most pro-
ductive heads.
The simplest method OF selecting
the largest seed is to screen out the
smaller with an ordinary tanning
mill. Screens are manufactured es-
pecially for this purpose that do the
work thoroughly and they may be
had at q reasonable price. A little
attention to the selection OF seed
wheat this fall willincrease next sum-
mer's harvest at least ten per cent.

TORNADO IN TWIN CITIES
KILLS 5; 100000 LOSS.
200 Buildings Damaged-High
Bridge, 200 Feet Above
Water Destroyed.

st. Paul, Aug. 21.-Five are re-
ported to be dead, two score injured
and property loss estimated to reach
two million dollars are the results OF
fierce tornado which swooped down
on the city shortly after 8 O'Clock
last night.
All communications with outlaying
districts are cut off and it is impos-
sible to say whether or not the dam
age done there has been as great as
was done in the city ITSELF
The property damage at Mime
apolis is said to have been nearly as
great as In st. Paul.
All wires, both telegraph and tele'
phone, were prostrated, and the
street car seHvice rendered useless.
According to the weather observer
the wind reached the velocity OF sc
miles an hour.
Buildings In the down town district
were unrooied, plate glass windows
blown in and the air filed with fyins
debris.
The Tivoli theatre building wal
wrecked by the wind, and one maj
was killed and a number OF persons
seriously injured.
y The Empire theatre, just across
the street, was unrooied and other
wise damaged and there was pani
among the performers and the audi
ence, but so far as known, no ON
was seriously hurt.
| High bridge, an immense stee
structure crossing the Mississippi
river at a height of about 200 feet
was almost totally wrecked. One @
the huge stone piers was cut off b,
the wind as smoothly az II it ha
been done with a knife. A huge iro
beam crashed down upon the roof c
q number OF small houses and badl,
wrecked them.
No news has yet been received iron

that when they are heard from tn
casualty list will be increased.
1t is thought that much damag
was wrought in the midway distric
