ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Returns for the
Year 1906.

The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many of our journals
and public men to sit up and take no
tice," to use a current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
number of settlers have flocked to the
prairie provinces of Canada. where
free homesteads and wide opportun-
tiles are open to all who desire to
avail themselves of them.
The greatest factor in attracting
settlers lies in the inherent richness
OF soil and suitability of climate for
producing what is universally consid-
cred to be the finest wheat in the
world-the mo. Hard" of Canadian
growth-and other cereals that rank
in the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, 3d.
600, 600 bushels oats, 76,000.00 bush
els; barley, 100000 bushels; and
when 1t is considered that the entire
population OF the three provinces-as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
easily seen that the lure of the Cana
dian West is in its agricultural poten-
tialties.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district is within easy
reach of outside markets. and that
g., oil ,P 90
ucts rule practically from the COM
mencement of agricultural operations.
This is a factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements in the
West were made in Canada and in the
United States, and has given n great
impetus to Canadian Western settle
ment in recent years.
The free grant system OF home
steads which prevails in the prairie
provinces, by which every settler who
is able and willing TO comply with the
conditions of actual settlement (by no
means onerous) is given 100 acres
free, except $40 for entry, is a great
drawing card, and in the last fiscal
year gathered in over 10000 addi-
tional TO the western population, OF
which 57,796 were from the United
States.
The further fact, as is strongly
brought about by the agent Of the
Canadian Government. whose address
appears elsewhere, that a splendid
common school system, practically
free, prevails throughout the entire
country, and is easy Of access in even
the most remote districts. is another
great inducement to the settler who
has the future welfare of his family
in mind, and this, coupled with the
fact that western Canadian law and
order are proverbial, completes a
circle of good and sufficient reasons
why the tide of immigration has set
in so steadily toward the country to
the north of our boundary line.

Christmas is the supreme season
of happiness for children. Their
brains are filled with the beautiful
imaginations of the good deeds of
old Santa Claus. Many of them re-
ceive their first strong impressions in
discriminating between good and
wrong, and the rewards for the for
mer and the punishments for the
latter.
The festive character of Christmas
being undeniable, nothing can or
could be more pleasing to the children
and more strictly in accordance with
the spirit of the day than a house
party.
The day should begin for the child
with the finding of his stockings filled
with presents, which on the previous
evening were hung on the bed post.
This pretty custom should be encour-
aged until the wonderful travels and
kindnesses of Santa Claus are looked
upon with doubt by the recipient of
his bounty.
The children should gather about
the Christmas tree as presents are dis
tributed OF course if the father wants
to impersonate Santa Claus so much
the better. His appearance will be
appreciated by the youngest and can
not be resented by the more expert
enced ones of u or 13 years.
Here are some suggestions in games.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1906-12-21

With a sympathetic person assisting
the little folks, there should be plenty
of fun.
"Whose Are the Eyes,"
Whose Are the Eyes," which has
attained great popularity, dimly sug-
gests the Vehmericht, the secret
tribunal of old Westphalia, in which
the judges sat closely cowled and
with their faces invisible The game,
however, is all mirth Two of those
that take part in it are seated side by
side. over the head of each is placed
an outstretched newspaper. In this
paper two holes are cut. The paper
conceals the head Of each of the play
ers beneath and only the eyes are Wis
ible through the eye holes. The OBJ
iect of the game is for the rest of the
players to guess the ownership of the
eyes as they see them by holding a
candle close to them.
"BIow Out the Candle"
About as popular as this game Is
BLOW Out the Candle" One of the
party is sent from the room. He or
she returns blindfolded. A candle
burns in the room, around which the
other merrymakers are gathered. The
blindfolded player must advance to the
candle and blow it out
1t looks easy, but it isn't. The thick
ness of the blind is so dense that the
light of the candle cannot be seen

The Sunny South.

Now when all outdoor farm work
has ceased in the north, the term
sunny south" and all that it means
appeals with full force to the northern
farmer as he realizes that with him
it is a case of remaining indoors for
the next several months consuming
everything that has been produced
during the growing season. In the
sunny south something can be
raised every month in the year, and
practically every day can be spent out
doors. No billiards. No sunstrokes
Cattle-raising is very profitable. Large
profits are made with little labor in
growing fruits, vegetables, etc, for
northern markets. Strawberries and
cantaloupes are great revenue getters
Water unsurpassed. Work plentiful

SQUIRRELS as Walters.

It has taken Fisk Goodyear OF
Burchtown, Pa, two years to train
his pet squirrels, but his efforts are
now repaid, and on Thanksgiving he
treated his friends to a surprise.
Gathering half a hundred or more
gray squirrels, Mr.. Goodyear taught
them TO go into the woods and pick
up nuts, carrying them to his home.
On Thanksgiving night at dinner
his guests noticed a small board run
ming from window TO nut bowl.
The host gave one knock on the table
with his knife. A squirrel hoped
down the plank and dropped a chest
nut into the bowl. Two raps brought
a squirrel with a walnut, three knocks
a shellbark.
Finally, a grave old squirrel took
his place and cracked the nuts, wind
ing up the performance by brushing
off the crumbs with his thick bushy
tail

An American hostess presides over

At the Russian embassy, a few

the Christmas celebration.

Russian standpoint, unlucky is the

Work is now in progress on a sus-

al gorge" of the Arkansas river, in
Colorado, at point where the chan
mel is only so feet wide at the bottom
and 230 feet wide at the top. This
bridge will span the river 267 feet
above the surface of the water, and
will be, therefore, by far the highest
bridge in the world. The material
will be of fat steel and steel cables

In no other city in America is
Christmas celebrated in SO many diff
ferent ways as in Washington, for at
Washington are gathered the official
representatives of every land-Chris-
tian as we'll as pagan-and in the en-
bassies and legations the holiday is
celebrated according TO the custom in
vogue in the countries having rep.
resentatives there.
So it is that the celebration there
is international as well as national in
character. Quaint customs, indeed,
prevail in the diplomatic corps. In
one house you will find Christians
commemorative the birth of the Saw
Jour, while in a house across the street
a pagan brother from the orient is
celebrating an entirely different day,
for an entirely different occasion.
Pursuant to a long-established Gus
tom, ambassadors and minister pleni-
potentiaries entertain their official
stats at Christmas, inviting, also,
such other friends as they may desire
to have visit the legation at that
time.
Probably the ambassador from
Italy and his wife are the most gra-
cious hosts of any of the foreign
ers at Washington, and their guests
at Christmas time are always well
coined around the Yule log, which
burns brightly in the open fireplace.
A large urn full OF gifts is placed
on a table and visitors have great
sport getting their presents from out
the vast pile.
Germany is the home of the Christ
mas tree and Kris Kringle. 1t is,
therefore, appropriate that at the kai-
sers embassy the most cosmopolitan
Christmas should be celebrated-the
custom of the "Faderlandt" blended
with those OF the Baroness Won Stern
berg's "old Kentucky Home"
The family of Senior Casasus, the
brilliant Mexican ambassador at
Washington, is happy one, and all
of It's members join heartily in their
native way Of celebrating the Pos
ada" At half past seven on Christ
mas eve they assemble in a room

TRAFFIC IN HUMAN FLESH.
German Hospital Officials Accused Of
Serious Offenses.

A sensational case has been occu-
plying the Hamburg law courts. Re
Gently the head of workingmen's as
sociation, Herr Schonberg, publicly
accused the Hamburg hospital of car
rying on large traffic in corpses. He
declared that closed collins were de-
livered to relatives of the deceased
containing only ashes and rubbish or
a wooden image. In several cases the
body had been placed in the coffin in
the presence of the relatives, and ex-
tracted after their departure. The
leg of a man who had suffered from a
peculiar disease was cut off and re-
placed by that of dead woman. In
this state the body was exhibited to
the relatives. A former employee of
the hospital, whose trial for selling
bodies was the occasion of these dis
closures, declared that he had seen
the arms of a dead man amputated
and replaced by a girls arms in order
that the mans relatives should sus-
pect nothing. 1t was also proved that
warders had cut off and sold heads
and other parts of corpses for their
own profit and without the knowledge
of the doctors. In two cases at least
collins were buried containing only
parts of the body
