Dickens, Phrases.


Since Shakespeare no writer has
''made language" to the extent that
Dickens has done, and the number of
common colloqualisms taken from his
novels and which everybody uses every
day is the outstanding proof of the
shuccess with which he has appealed to
the imagination Of the nation.
How often one hears "Barkis is
willin," Beware of vidders," "Oliyer

Our Ambassador to London.

Mr.. Reids career is a romance of in
defatigable industry applied to the cul-
tivation of admirable talents and to
the creation and employment of honor
able opportunities. At thirty-fiye he
had attained the professional goal
which to the boy of twenty must have
seemed almost infinitely remote. Since
then he has achieved many public dis
tlnctions, but it may well be doubted
if a single one of them has given him
anything like the satisfaction that he
felt on the day when he first entered
into full control of the Tribune. A man
is largely revealed in the way he di-
rects the energies Of his subordinates.
Mr.. Reid has been considered an exact.
ing master. If that impression is cor
rect-and it certainly is not here dis
puted-the reason is that, being an ex-
pert at his own craft, he has meas
ured imperfections by high standard.
1t used to be said that he did not much
care to listen to the opinions Of the
men under him, but the fact is that
when they have really had opinions he
has always valued an honest expression
of them. What he has not cared for is
a solicitous acquiescence in opinions
which he himself might be supposed to
have formed.-Leslie's Weekly.

The London Lancet finds that the
chestnut is the most digestible nut.
and can not only take the place of the
potato, as in France, where chestnuts,
boiled and mashed like potatoes, make
a delicious dish, but in reality they
are a more perfect form of food. Ac-
cording to the Lancet's analysis Of
the potato and the chestnut, the latter
contains less water, more proteid, more
fat and starch, but less mineral matter
than the potato, and is more digestible
than the latter. Like the potato, also.
its nutritive and digestive qualities are
greatest when baked or roasted.

eushel of wheat was shipped in 1882,
IN fact the first shipment from Mani
toba, merely as a sample, was made
in 1877. In 1904 there were under all
crops, excepting hay, 1,575 600 acres
in the western provinces, producing
17,250,350 bushels OF wheat. 1880. GAO
bushels of oats, and 2,35O.420 bushels
of barley, realizing a total of about
$1S,50O 900 for the farmers.
In Manitoba there were grown in
1904 Al 100000 bushels of wheat and
other farm products in proportion.
The first mile of railway was built in
the country in 1880, and to-day there
are over 5000 miles of road in opera
ton. and further extensions are going
ahead as fast as men and money can
build them. There are two trunk
lines in the country. the c. P. r. and
the Canadian Northern, with the
Grand Trunk commencing its trans
continental line. In addition to these
trunk lines. all systems are extending
branches to all sections where there
are settlements to patronize them.
The grain elevator development is

expansion of the country, the one

100000 acres of the country traversed
by railways being now fairly supplied
by elevators. In all there are .015
of them in the country with comhin-

erected at a cost of over $55.000,OOO
In addition to these, elevators at the
head of the lakes have storage capac-
ity Of 1S,200,000. Fourteen years ago
the entire storage capacity of the
elevators was 7,62S,00O bushels. today
it is 41.600G00 and lncrea sing yearly
from five to ten million bushels.

CHANGED HUSBAND.

Wife Made Wise Change in Food.
Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
"My husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
II thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did SO, and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin
ming, his digestion improved; he suf-
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when be added Grape-Nuts food
TO his diet he was soon entirely cured.
