Use for Peacock Feathers.

If there are yet women who think
that the superstition about wearing
peacock feathers is still ingrained
in the minds of their sex, let them
take a stroll up Fifth avenue or
through the park some fine morning
when the up-todate woman is out ex-
ercising her dog or her baby, and
their minds will be disabused Of the
notion, says New York newspaper.
For morning wear it has become a
lad to have bunch of peacock feath-
ers stuck jauntily through the band
of soft felt fedora hat. Glowing
cheeks and the rich blue-green Of the
feathers make charming contrasts and
the effect is extremely chic.

heat is a property of albuminous SUBJ
stances such as the white of an egg,
but such substances will not liquefy
again on cooling, the coagulation be-
ing a permanent chemical change.
The mixture described above to
which the name "cryostase" has been
given, will apparently solidify and
liquefy as often as desired, when
heated and cooled to the proper
points.

Desion for Summer Frock.

Any of the summary materials, the
supple silks, mousselines, organizes
and the like will develop charmingly.
In Paris the vogue Of the cut.out neck
extends even to the toilets intended
for daylight wear; but here we NIL
them in with chemisettes. The draped
bodice shows lengthwise straps OF lace
which are continued down the skirt,
dainty little jabots appearing on the
bust. The sleeve has several ruiz
fles at the shoulder, and mousque'
taire arrangement to the elbow. The
skirt is plated over the hips, the
front gore disposed with inturning
fan plaits, and a full flounce is ap-
piled beneath a lace heading, cas-
cades of lace appearing either side OF
the front.

PIaitinus.

Plaitings are set into the lower
parts of street skirts in many at
tractive ways, but almost always
there is the smooth fitted hip. Skirts
laid in plaits and stitched round the
hips but falling full below that point
continue to be popular. The plain
killed skirt is not deemed as modish
as the skirt plated in groups or in
alternating side plaits and groups of
side plaits. These skirts have the ad.
vantage of being more easily fitted
than the old-fashioned killed skirts.

Extremely fiattered, I'm sure; but
I don't care to sell out just at pres

II give you a dollar" reiterated the
pianist serenely. The muller will be
second hand. A dollar is good

The American pulled the muller
from his neck. Accept it with my
compliments" he said, YEARLY
Keep your money, and be-so good
as to accept the muffler."
The pianist was overjoyed. Gen

ANOTHER RECORD IN LAND
HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.

1t was thought in 1893, when over
forty-five thousand people went from
the United States to Canada, that the
limit of the yearly immigration to-
the wheat zone of the Continent had
been reached. But when in 1904
about as large a number of Amer1-
can citizens signified their intentions
of becoming settlers on Canadian
lands, the general public were pre-
pared for the announcement OF large
numbers in 1905. No surprise there
fore will be caused when 1t is made
known that predictions of fully fifty
thousand more in 1905 are warranted
in the fact that the Spring movement.
Canadaward Is greater than it has
ever been. THE special trains from
Omaha, Chicago, st. Paul, Detroit,
and other gateways has been crowd
ed. Many have gone to join friends
and relatives who have prepared
homes for them and others have gone
relying upon their own resources, sat-
isfied that what others have done can
also be done by them. This year
much new territory has been opened
up by the railroads which are extend
ing their main lines and throwing out
branches in their march across the
best grain and grazing lands on the
continent. This new territory has
attractions for those desiring to home
stead on the one hundred and sixty
acres granted each settler by the
Canadian Government. Many also
take advantage of the opportunity to-
purchase lands at the low figures at
which they are now being offered.
1t does not require much thought to-
convince one that If Iowa, Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands, with a,
value Of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre will give good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels of wheat to the acre and thir-
ty to fifty bushels of corn to the acre,
the lands of Western Canada at seven
TO ten dollars an acre, producing
from twenty to thirty bushels Of a.
superior wheat to the acre should
produce a competence to the ordinary
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There are millions Of acres
of such land in Western Canada i'm
addition to the other millions that
are considered to be portion of tho
biggest and best ranges that ever in
vited the cattle and horse producer
Of the North American continent.
What is particularly evident in West
ern Canada is the fact that the wheat
lands, adjoining the grazing lands,
make farming particularly agreeable
and profitable. The agents of the
Canadian Government, who are al
ways willing to give information and
advice to intending settlers, say that
the acreage put under crop this sea-
son is greatly in excess of last sea-
son

Steam Train fer Lander

The first steam train for Lander
left Casper Monday noon in two sec
tions. Engineer Smith pulled the
throttle on the first section, and
Engineer Crockett took charge of
the second, and both were person
ally conducted by Conductor Charlie
Layo, half-brecd Indian. who had
a crew Of indian brakcmen. AS the
train left Casper the engines saluted
oar citizens with whistles, and they
were off on their $50 mile trip over
sand and sage brush, to the home of
the Arapahoc and Shoshone braves.
1t can not be understood that the
train left here over the Northwest
ern tracks, which nave not yet left
the corporate limits of the town of
Casper; but they were threshing
machines, with traction engines and
tenders, gift from Uncle Sam, for
for the noble red men to play with.
One outfit goes to the Arapahoes,
and the other to the Shoshones.
While the engines are 18 horse
power, it will be somewhat of task
to make the trip, considering their
broad gauge, gullics unbridged, and
the weak bridges, as the engines
weigh over 1900 pounds, the ten
ders 5000. and the separators 1000
pounds.
Two coal wagons will accompany
the trains, as the tender can carry
but one days supply, and string
OF ten horses will be in readiness to
lend It's aid in pulling the engines
out Of bad places. 1t will take at
least ten days to make the trip
