SEEDING IN PROGRESS
IN WESTERN CANADA,
Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
Of Settlers.

The splendid yields of wheat. oats
and barley produced by the farmers
of Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
AS result the inquiries made of the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad com
panies are putting on increased carry
ing capacity to meet the demand made
upon them for carrying passengers
and freight. Everything points to a
most prosperous year. There is room
for hundreds of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year
1t Is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years.
and considering the large number it
Is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
letter written by Mr.. Geo. M. Girls

Grever, Montana, written on the Cd
OF January, is as follows:

bers of citizens Of foreign countries whose services can be obtained for less money. At a large part of our consul ates the office quarters and the clerical force are inadequate to the perform ance of the onerous duties imposed by the recent provisions of our immigra- ton laws as well as by our increasing trade. In many parts of the world the lack of suitable quarters for our em- bassies, legations and consuIates de- tracts from the respect in which our officers ought to be held and seriously impairs their weight and influence.
 Suitable provision should be made for the expense of keeping our diplo- matic officers more fully informed of what is being done from day to day in the progress of our diplomatic af- fairs with other countries. The lack of such information, caused by insuffi- cient appropriations available for cable tolls and for clerical and messenger service. frequently puts ONT officers at great disadvantage and detracts from their usefulness. The salary list should be readjusted. It does not now correspond either to the importance of the service to be rendered and the de- grees of ability and experience requir- ed in the different positions or to the differences in the cost of living. In many cases the salaries are quite inad- equate.

IMPROVING THE FIGURE.
Average Woman Has Formed Habits That Tend to Such Defect as
 One High Shoulder or Hip.

You girls who are working to over come the unevenness of hips and shoulders must investigate the indi- vidual cause of the trouble Nothing is more common cause than the habit of incorrect standing, throwing the weight of the body upon one foot and leg. But many cases Of crookedness are brought about by some odd habit all your own. For instance, one cor respondent writes that she always wears long skirts in the street and in- variably holds the skirt to raise it from the ground with the right hand. This habit may have done a great deal to twist her. If you will not wear a short walking skirt, take pains to change hands often when lifting your train.
 Horseback riding, as it has been practieed-that is, with a side saddle has done its share of damage. One physician prescribed saddle made for the reverse position, bringing the stir rup on the opposite side from the usual one.
 Carrying school books or parcels al- ways in one arm, especially when they are held against the hip, throws the body into one-sided position.
 Tn the introduction of vertical writ ing into schools, much has been said of the benefit gained from it's forcing the child to sit straight, facing the desk directly. instead of sitting in the diagonal fashion customary with slant ing penmanship This position has en- couraged unevenness of shoulders and hips.
 So you must study your own case to discover whether you are not in some way twisting yourself out of shape; then, when you have discov- cred the cause, do away with it prompt ly. besides taking exercises to correct your figure.
 In simple. standing exercises, 1t is important that you have one hand on the hip, the other clasped about the neck. The hand on the hip belongs to the high side; the other. lifted to the neck, raises the entire side, hip, shoulder and all, along with it, and SO corrects the fault. The high hip is usually the right one, but your case may differ.
 Starting with this position, you may use an infinite number of exercises that you have practiced before; those which stretch and bend the spine are the most profitable. Go through these exercises, giving yourself short rests between: during these rests you may let the arms fall at the sides while you take deep bresths.

BEAUTIFUL NEWFOUNDLAND.
Scenery So Beautiful That Parts of It Vie with Famed Kill

In looking over your magazine I was surprised to find how little mention IS made of Newfoundland. with almost unlimited game, both fish and fowl deer and bear. for those that go far enough, writes Bessie Began Bowman in Recreation.
 And scenery so beautiful that parts of 1t vie with famed Killarney. The rugged grandeur of Pete harbor, or the beautiful bay of Outer Cove, and the rock hills near Logy bay. may be prejudiced, but I have not seen any thing pictured to come near them.
 Oh, Newfoundland. with your beau. tiful bayous and shining creeks, where. in salmon and that pet of good ang. lers, speckled trout, with it's firm. pink flesh, abound. I often wonder that more lovers of fine sport don't visit you.

PUBLIC FISHING RIGHTS.
There Is General Belief That the Game of a Country Belongs
 to the People.

There has been a very interestins
 question brought up in Colorado witt
 regard to the rights of a person te fish in streams stocked by the state and it is claimed by Mr. Melville, .
 lawyer, that the constitution affirms the public ownership of the water oi the natural streams of the state and that the legislature has publicly af Iirmed the public ownership of the fist in the state. From early times until ithe present, writes Dan Beard, in Rec lreation, legislatures have appropriated large sums of public funds for the pur. pose of stocking these waters with the choicest of fish. The members of the legislature appropriating such funds believe that the public has a right to go into and upon such streams and have the pleasure and profit of such fish from such stream.
 This seems to be good. sound, natur. al law, and accords with Recreattion's politics, for Recreation has always claimed that the game of a country be longed to the people of the country and not to the landlords. The landlords dc not create game. The landlords only right to the use of the land comes from the public consent, inasmuch as he could have 10 possible valid title orig mating from any other source, conse quently he can only own the right to thetuse of the land which the public agrees shall be under his control, and as the public has never consented or agreed that the game or fish should be the private property of the landlord, fl is evident that he has no natural, le. gal, moral or ethical right to the game as landlord, but only general right as one individual of the public which owns the game and fish of the coun try

Recently was telling the story of a trapper who had accidentally stepped into bear trap, and I discontinued al the point where the man had tainted overcome with cold and hunger and the agony he had suffered By the merest chance, he was found, soon aft or daylight the next morning, buried under the snow, all but his red cap which the strong wind had cleared and left as the one mark to indicate where he lay.
 At first 1t was thought that he was dead, but after he had been taken out of the trap, some signs of life were found, and his rescuers carried him back to camp, and worked over hin, until a doctor was brought to the place. They saved his life. but he lost the leg which had been in the trap. besides several fingers and toes , which had been 30 badly frozen that they had to be amputated. In short, it was but the wreck of a man who finally left the camp, to be supported by charity for the rest of his life. But his experience had done one good
