4 CHICAGO COLONEL sEI1ERs,

Colonel Sellers is dead but his soul is marching on. It Is just now marching in the body of a Chicago man, who is planning to make money out of cats, "There are 5O0O0 stray cats in Chicago he says, that are of no benefit to any one. They make night hideous. They scratch and bite small children. They are hated and pelted with coal and bootjacks can rid Chica@o of a nuisance and make money out of them" !" Up in the northern part of Lake Michi- gan is little island four miles long and one mile wide, He proposes to erect there extensive sheds. There is plenty of vegetation and there are no animal inhabitants. When the buildings are up he will have cat catchers go to work in Chicago and capture 50,000 cats, Their pelts are worth fifteen cents each. He will put them on the island and buy up dead horses and old meat from the stockyards, and have 1t dumped there from time to time. The cats will be left for four years, eating this food and growing wild. This will make their fur more valuable. Then a cat abattoir will be created. They will have propa- gated and multiplied, and 5OOO0 cats Gan be killed a year, their skins worth from fifteen to twenty-five cents each, netting the proprietors of this uniqu- industry $1O,OOO a year.
 This looks good. Quite as good as the prospectuses of some of the cats cnd dogs issued by high and frenzied fnan- ciers.

SENDS COIN BAKED IN BISCUIT.
Colorado Girls Novel Way of Getting

 A Colorado girl who wanted a cer- tain school book ordered 1t from a Chicago publisher and sent the money for 1t, baked in biscuit.

It was 8 silver quarter that she sent. We often hear of clouds with silver Things but here is a chunk of dough with a silver filling.
 The Ravenswood woman who tells the story says that this only one of many inventions of monye mailing people.

Chicago's big stores that handle. a heavy business through the mails are able to recount some unusual methods. Some of the women who send to Chicago for various articles are ingenious in the

 The lost and found department of the United States railway mail service in Chicago produces some wonderful conceits in concealing remittances, Frequently packages break open and dollars, halves, quarters and dimes roll out of unheard of hiding places. One queer fact concerning the matter is that after a person has taken unheard of pains to hide a remittance he will do up his package so carelessly that 1t breaks open with the slightest jar or jolt
 In the Colorado book order the sender sent witht the biscuit a note telling where the coin was secreted. The book she wanted was Studies in French. "-- Chicago Daily News.

OUR TRADE WTTH CANADA.

Our trade with Canada is increasing, and there are good reasons why it should increase. A United States con- sul in the province of Quebec, reporting upon the relative status of the trade of Canada with the United States and Great Britain, speaks of the desires which the imperialists have to foster trade between Canada and the mother country, and how little their shipping preferences and ingeniously devised schemes really affect the trade of the United States with Canada. In spite of the barriers which our merchants have to surmount in trading with Can- ada, nearness eounterbalances the schemes and devices put into effect to promote trade with Great Britain. In the words of this consul: There is the fact that few hours at most separate the trading and manufacturing centers of the two countries. A trip from one country to the other is no more regard ed by the citizens of either in the light of journey to a foreign country than is trip from Montreal to Quebec so regarded by Canadian. Cleveland Buffalo and Boston are just across the
  way from Toronto and Montreal. St Paul and Chicago are nearer Winnipeg than Toronto, and Seattle and San Francisco are closer to Vancouver and Victoria than is Winnipeg. To get goods from Great Britain is a work of months; to get them from across the line that of days only,
 Of course. And by and by perhaps there wont even be line.

Some Day.

Hes not at all distinguished, but You want to walt awhile and see. When once that fellow leaves the rut There's nothing that he couldn't be, Hes in rather humble place, But that's not where he means to stay. He means to strike a swifter pace And move up to the front--some day. Just now he hasn't had his chance To show the world what he can do. There's so much adverse circumstance To keep his plans from going
 through,
 But time will bring hls opening And clear the obstacles away, He's merely crouching for the spring, You'll see what he will do-some day He's getting past the flush of youth, At times we think he's lacking
 steam
 Some people say, to tell the truth He's less disposed to do than dream. But he has faith that's fresh and green, Although his head is getting gray, His hope's sublime, his faiths serene, He means to do q lot-some day.

On the Great Western railroad of England some interesting experiments in signalling are being made. The new safety device is intended to notify the ear instead of the eye of the condition of the track ahead. It is held that semaphores, which are the warnings depended upon wherever the block system is used in this country, are un- satisfactory, being often obscured by fog, and that the strain of watching for these signals is greater than should be imposed on the engineer of a loco motive. In the new device a mechan- ism is fixed in the roadbed at the be- ginning of each 'block" of track, that gives whistle in the cab of a locomo- tive if the track is clear, and rings a bell if the block of track is occupied These signals are locataed near the ear of the engineer as he stands at the throttle, and continue sounding until stopped by him.

Young men, you will be more
prosperous and better contented on
the farm than in the crowded city,
where poverty, hunger and wont
are the general lot of many people.
A home of ten acres will produce
more reliable living than a 5000 SAL
airy in the city. Remain on the
farms and prepare your minds for
successfully managing that much
land and you will be independent
as compared to city life. The
young man who sticks to the farm
in his fancy sees pleasures and mil
lions in the city and the man in the
city longs for home in the coun-
try where night lie time for rest
while crops grow into dollars.
