Some Of Life's Riddle s

While the thoughts that are like all 9TH
ers are the ones We always tell
And the deeds that are worth little
praise are the ones that are pub
lished we'll.
Why is it that the sweetest smile has
for its sister sigh?
Why is 1t that the strongest love Is the
love We always pass by?
While the smile that Is cold and indif-
ferent is the smile for which We
pray,
And the love we kneel to and worship is
only common clay.
Why is 1t the friends We trust are the
ones that always betray?
Why is 1t the lips wish to kiss are tho
lips so far away?
While close by our side. IL we knew 1t.
is a friend who loyal would be.
And the lips we might have kissed are
the lips we never see.
Why is 1t the things we can have are tho
things we always refuse?
Why is 1t none of us lead the lives II We
could we'd choose?
The things that we all can have are the
things we always hate.
And life seems never complete. no mat
ter how long we walt.

Some Dolls.

Most dolls are born in Thuringia
a province of Germany. Thuringia Is
sometimes called puppet-land on this
account. Almost the entire population
is employed making some parts of the
dolls which are sent to every coun.
try in the world except India. The
little Hindus are said to be the only
doll-less children in the world, all
countries having something which the
little girls can rock to sleep and love

Grasshopper PIE.

During the hot summer days the
Filipinos go out into the fields with
big nets to catch their winters supply
of candy. for it is alive when they
first get it. During the summer
months great swarms of giant grass
hoppers light down upon the fields
in such clouds as to shut out the sun.
Then there is great stir, for these
grasshoppers must be killed. They
not only destroy the crops. but they
are thought very good to eat. and so
there is double reason for a war on
them. Boys watch in the church tow
ers, and when they see swarm COM
ing send out an alarm.
The natives rush to the spot with
bags and nets and begin their work.
The grasshoppers are knocked down
with paddles. stunned with gunpow-
der explosions-any way to kill them
in large numbers-and are left to dry.
and they are then shipped to the
cities, where they are worth 81 a
bushel People eat them in the streets
and at entertainments as we eat pea
nuts, and like them just as well as
we do the sweet "goober nuts"
They are baked with sugar and
eaten as candy: housewives make
pies of them. with big ones around
the top crust; bakers bake them in
cakes as we do raisins, and boys
think a pocketful Of them sprinkled
with sugar a great treat.

Plate BaIancjru.

Do you know how to balance a
china plate on the point of needle,
and even to cause it to spin steudily
upon this delicate support?
Cut two corks down the middle, and
in the ends of the four halves thus
obtained insert forks, inclined to the
smooth sides of the corks at a little
less than right angles.
Place these four corks around the
rim of the plate at equal distances
from one another, and see that the
teeth of the forks are in contact with
the rim. to prevent them from sway
ing.
With little care this plate can
now be balanced on the point of a
needle whose eye has been buried in
the cork of an upright bottle.
By giving it gentle rotary motion
the plate may be made to spin
around, which it will do for quite a
long time.

number of first prizes and her cattle hav-

shown in these various exhibits it appears
that for the last fifty years Canada has
been quietly taking root and has now en-
tered upon a growth so rapid as to at
tract the attention OF the world, and, to
entitle her to rank as among the first
commercial nations of the earth. The
showing made by the country in all these
various displays is not only credltable to

Northwest Territory. among the most pro-
ductive on the North American Continent,
are strong inducements TO colonization.
The last seven years have seen an added
population In this one section of Canada
of over 10000 In 1903 the number of de-
ciared settlers was 49,. COCA greater increase
over 1902 than that of 1902 over 1901. In
Canada as a whole. the immigration in
1903 WIS nearly double that of 1902, while
1t received i9.473 from the United States
and only Il, 1872 from Great Britain. OF the
total immigration In 1893. co per cent was

years last past 1za,O0 Americans settled
in Western Canada alone, representing IS
eco heads of families and taking into the
country cash and settlers effects totaling
81. 1000 o or an average of $3.50 per head.
OF these Americans almost all removed to
Canada to engage in agriculture.
WORLDS LARGEST WHEAT FIELD.
Canada has the largest continuous wheat
field in the world. it being approximately
3loI900 miles in extent The wheat belt
is almost 1.SO miles long by 400 miles
wide. Its wheat growing area in the West
alone Is II, oco. 600 acres in extent, Of which
only 5.coo.O0 acres are under cultivation,
Manitoba having only 10 per cent of its
arabic lands taken up. The Canadians
think the discovery of the immense wheat
growing area of Canada is second only in
Importance to the discovery Of America

to the pillars Of the Canadian agricultural
display. Printed tablets are distinctive
features of the Canadian exhibit. The

isfaction OF Canadians to be the only one
promising perfect method and certain sat
fsfaction. Commissioner Hutchinson has
been able. through the experience gained
at one exposition. to make more perfect
his country's next participation, so that
at st. Louis. we have in the Canadian dis
plays a elimination, and in the ratio of
progression. the best To Mr.. Kutchison's
exposition training is due the fact that
when suggestion was made for a ton Of
anything, whether it was coal, iron ore,
wheat or cobalt, to be brought here for
exhibit purposes, he ordered that It be
made q carload.
This training manifested itself when
on the opening day of the Fair, the Can
adam exhibits were all in order and ready
for visitors. Canada being In this respect
the only other foreign country with a
completed exhibit on that day. except
Japan. 1t was shown again in the strategic
location Of the Canada Pavilion between
the north end Of the Agriculture building
and the Forestry, Fish and Game building.
This location of the Canada Pavilion was
selected by Commissioner Hutchinson be-
cause of the number OF people who must
necessarily pass 1t in order to reach the
Agricultural and Philippine exhibits. as
well as the section contiguous to the For
estry. Fish and Game building. the view
was also taken by the Canadian Commits
sioner that his ccuntry's purpose in exhib-
iting hero was TO show what she produced
and not to make a social display, hence the
Canada building has never been closed
during the Exposition. but has always
been open to visitors for the inspection of
such exhibits as It contains. while at the
same time It's inviting veraadas and restfrl

of all persons wishing to avail themselves
