Men and materials are already
on the ground and as contracts
call for a completion Of the work
by Nov. |, herculean efforts will
he put forth to utilize every
moments time as well as main
tain the best possible conditions
among the working crews.
The new line threads one of
the richest agricultural sections
in all the vast domain OF west
ern lands. Recent investiga
tions covering the entire country
contiguous to these extensions
shows that an abundant supply
OF water can be secured wherever
all artesian well is sunk. These
wells are being driven by the
hundred in South Dakota and
their utility is revoIutionizing
farming methods. Being flow
ing wells of extraordinary pres
sure the power is utilized in
various ways by the thrifty
farmers.
Electric power is generated
and made to turn feed mills and
run other machines used in farm
work. The greatest Importance
attaches to the manifold uses
to which these powerful wells
can be directed, and the farm
ers are just beginning to ap-
preciate what it means to have
an inexhaustible supply Of pow
er ready at hand with no ex-
pense whatever. A pressure of
ITO pounds is the average record
for these flowing wells.
AS these artesian wells or c
started cannot bestopped every
owner Of q well must figure OH
a large pond being formed by
the ceaseless flow of water. The
farmers have all ready turned
them to good account in pro-
viding ponds for the use of their
cattle. The water has a tenn
perature of about 72 degrees
when it leaves the earth and
when passed through a pond Of
moderate size and run off thru
a drainage ditch it never freezes
in the pond.
"The new South Dakota cOun-
try which the Minneapolis &
st. Louis Will put in touch with
Minneapolis merchants is a gar
den spot" said a prominent
iobber today. Every business
house in Minneapolis will be
benefited by the completion of
the new lines. 1t is doubly i'm
pOrtant from the fact that the
Minneapolis & st. Louis road is
pre-eminently a Minneapolis
railroad and more interested in
building up this city than any
other locality.
There is a fine agricultural to
be tapped by the new roads,
and although without adequate
railroad facilities now the farm
erS out there are very prosper
Gus. They have good houses,
two or three large barns apiece
amp show evidence of good crops
and good times"

an end of it.
More than one girl has said to me:
"If ever l marry, Father, it will be somebody
don't care for. If were to marry somebody |
liked it would mean just breaking my heart be-
fore the years out.
That's a nice lesson for young men about
town to be teaching girls
Father Vaughan's pulpit methods are decided
ly sensation, when he is dealing with society In
recent address, for instance, he said; "Of one
thing any man who ventures into the society of
the fast, smart set may be sure and that is, if
he goes into it with any money he will come
out OF it without any. l know men who have
been kept at bridge, being forced, in spite of
themselves, to play, and to play high, and play

ceives an eightday writ or summons on june 1st,

"Closed days" further complicate this perplex'
ing subject of time. A closed day Is a day which
is not taken into account in computing time.
Generally it includes Sunday, but not always,
and the puzzle is to know when it does and
when it does not In most transactions Good
Friday, Easter Eve, Easter Monday, Whit Mon
day and Christmas Day are closed days, and If
any legal act falls due on these days it sufhces
10 perform it on the day following. But II a
promissory note falls due a Bank Holiday, il
need not be paid until the day after while II it
falls due on a Sunday, Good Friday, or Christ
mas Day. it must be paid the day before,
Sometimes clear days are mentioned in docu-
ments Railway companies which send luggage
in advance require three clear days notice This
really means five days, for the day on which the
notice Is served Is not counted neither Is the
day on which the act Is performed If the rail
way companies said three days notice without
mentioning clear that would mean four days,
for the first day is not countsd, but the last day
is, in this case.
Where a mans house was insured until" De
cember 25th, and II was burned down on the
evening Of that day he was entitled TO payment

self was one of fourteen. Present-day mp-to-date
parents would scorn such father; yet better
man never run to hounds, to the fence Of
duty landing on the other side.
Father Vaughan's lead has been followed by
Others, notably the Bishop of Durham, who made
the following utterance recently at the. annual
Church Congress: "The best place in which to see
luxurious misery is at Hyde Park corner. AT
the washed out fag end of the London season
take station at Hyde Park corner near enough
to the endless string of carriages to get good
look beneath the picture hats" he said. Out
of one hundred count the lacklustre, bothered,
bored looks of the wearers. Are all these peo'

pie doing what they like? Are they, with "a
the appliances at their command, really tasting
and satisfying the pleasures of life? 1t is strange
that their faces should belle them if they are,
for l do not know where in any given fifteen
minutes l see so many joyess faces The
material means of enjoyment cannot make inn
mortal the capacity for enjoyment. Where Solo
mon and Chesterfield failed the butterflies Of
Mayfair are not likely to succeed"
Another follower of Father Vaughan Is Rev.
Copeland Smith, of the Wesleyan West End Mis-
sion, who has been conducting an energetic cam
paign at the Great Queen Street Chapel against
the immortality of the West End Of London.

DAY is twenty7four hours long, and there are
Soo days in the year; but sdereal day is some
four minutes shorter, and there are 1865 of them
in year
When we consider days according to the law
OF the land the matter becomes puzzlng. A day
is dehned by statute, for some purpose to mean
the period from the rising to the setting of the
sun. Under the English law of Distress every
seizure of goods must be made in the daytime.
But how are we to know when the sun rises and
sets? In some cases the courts have been guided
by the almanacs; in other cases the judges have
decided that the almanac cannot be taken as
evidence But the curious thing is that although
the law fixes the day the time from the rising
to the setting OF the sun, seizure may be legally
made on the East Coast before the sun rises.
and the West much as ten minutes after
the sun sets, for Greenwich time is meant

this mammoth metropolis know that there is one
law, and one law only, for the rich an for the
poor, for the smart set and for the pauper."
Father Vaughan told an incident of his boy
hood. With his father he was riding across coun-
try when the elder man suddenly drew rein and.
pointing to the rich woodland before them, said:
"Al that you was part Of the estate,
but it went, bit by bit, for not conforming now
it is crown land"
But the elder Vaughan went on; God has more
than made up to us for this loss, for instead of
large estates He has given large families

in the most secluded place. The Madive Islanders
still observe this popularity, They retire to
the darkest part of their houses and hang cur
tains about them so that none of their fellow
men may gee them at their meal.
On the contrary, the Philippine Islander will
not eat meal alone. Whenever Filipino finds
himself without companion with whom to
share his meal he will abstain from eating until
he nss found one.
The Tahitians though a naturally sociable race,
dine separately, Even the man and his wife
do not eat together Each member Of the family
has his own food basket. They take their places
about fvs yards apart, and then, turning their
oacks to each other, dine amid profound silence.
The Brazilians never eat when they drink,
nor drink when they eat; and the Tartars con
tinually persist in pulling a guest by the ear
until he drinks.
A strange custom prevails in Kamchatka, where
who wishes to entertain guest invites
him into cabin, which is heated to an exces-
siye temperature, and then presses him with
.ood until he is IN state of torpor.

-1)NDON'S smart set has been terribly ar
a. raigned lately from several different di-
kTz-S,,A rections The most scathng denuncia-
k4&saNgv alton has been that delivered by the
Rev Bernard Vaughan, who speaks by
the book, for he knows all phases OF
London society He is just as familiar with the
aristocratc West End he is with the White
chapel district. He knows the weakness OF the one
and the wrongs of the other and he has no fear
or hesitation in seizing the banner OF the down
trodden and leading in the attack on the strong
holds of Society"
Father Vaughan is brother of the late Cardi-
nalArchbishop of Westminster, SO that by right
of birth he is familiar with the weaknesses OF the
social set but he has made his home in the heart
of Whitechapel as we'll as Mayfair. Two nights
in the week he slept in ground floor room IN
Lucas street. Commercial road, where he cooked
his meals ate them, and received visitors. If his
friends arrived early in the day they would
probably find him busily engaged in cooking some
simple meal which he afterwards shared with an
old woman of seventy who lodged in another
part of the same building.
The principal furniture of Father Vaughan's
room consisted of deal table, a couple of chairs,
camp bedstead and frying pan.
THE VAUGHAN FAMILY.
In his early days he was destined for the army;
but, as he himself once said he put his money
not on the rouge, but on the noir, and became
a priest finally taking the of poverty, chas-
tity and obedience of the Jesuit Order. The
Vaughans are connected with some of the oldest
Roman Catholic families of England and said
to be descendants of certain Count of Verman-
dois who came to England with William the Con
queror.
1T is well, perhaps, that small families are
the vogue What with club life and club habits
and club morals, smart women have no time to
care for a child which they never feed and sell
dom see, except when it is brought down to
show off its fine clothes"
EXCUSES ALWAYS FOR THE SMART.
So Father Vaughan said the other day in one
of his much-dscussed sermons against the sins of
the Smart Set"
"Women with their dainty feet a rung high
up the social ladder" he went on, "are nova
days condoned for sins which, if perpetrated by
a sister lower down, would be condemned. For
the smart set excuses are always to be found.
"Is it not enough to make any Christian gentle
man VINO loves his country trembe and become
terrified to think of ideas now in vogue among
certain people in this land about married life? Is
it not appalling to think that the very last thing
people want is mutual love?

A prisoner sentenced to month in England

one gets month on the last day of February,

"A child in school should do his
school work thoroughly spend his spare Tine
during daylight out of doors in active pursuits
and read but very moderately outside his ro
lar studies. But moderation is not childs t,ais
nor habit much developed by parents AID
SO, too often, child shirks his school work,
which is his business. does only those chores he
cannot escape, and then reads himself into head
