 of an unlimited quantity of flowers tastefuIly arranged through the rooms.
 A very happy plan was carried out in the manner of choosing partners for the game. Thefe were twelve tables
 and on each was a bouquet of a diff ferent variety of roses. The ladies and the gentlemen present were allowed to draw from a single huge bouquet Of roses made up of blossoms of the cor responding varieties and then match
 them with those on the tables, thus finding their places. There are few places in this world where such a plan could be carried out with flowers not grown in hOt-hOuses, and many of the varieties used were grown by Mir. Diehl himself. Following several hours of play, delightful refreshments were served. MT DiehI took this occa- his engagement to Miss Frances Esta- brooks of Warren, Ohio.

A 1 ATER TAIK

Hampton, Va May 30.-A notable address was delivered to the students of Hampton institute today by Presi- dent Roosevelt. He dwelt particularly on the necessity for the development of character, not only in the Negro. but in the white man as we'll. main taining that education would fit neither for citizenship unless accompanying. there was the right type of family life in the home.
 Speaking directly to the negro stu dents he said: Now the thing upon which l wish to lay emphasis is that school such as this. which strives to raise the cOlOred man and coIored wo man, to make them better men and better women, better citizens. is pre- emintently in the interests of the white for the white man.
 There is nothing that can be done for the white man, who is to live side by side with the colored man, than to train that cOlored man up to be a good citizen.
 Prom the standpoint of the white man, the safest and best thing that can happen is to have the colored peo- pie around him become thrifty. indus tIious, homemakers and homekeepers. From the standpoint of the colored man, the only real way to help him, is to help him help himself"

CASE OF REMEMBERING.

Senator Tiilman tells of a section of North Carolina remarkable for the great longevity of it's residents. An old character there was long known as "Old Jim Tolliver." No one know Jim's eaxct age, but he was popularIy supposed to be somewhere around 90. "Old Jim" enjoyed no greater pleasure than to jest about the senility of his neighbors. for he himself was as spry as a yoUngster of A. One morning he met a friend named Taylor. And how is my venerable friend?'' asked Tolli- yer. Venerable nothing." exclaimed Taylor. I'm not near as old as you are, Jim, and you know it. I'm not so sure about that" said old Jim Tell me, Taylor, what is the first thing you can recollect." The first thing I can recollect," replied Taylor, and that must have been eighty years ago, was hearing people say, There goes "Old Jim Tolliver."

More Cases of Illness This Spring Than
 ia Former Years.
 An open Winter, such as the one just passed, always leaves more sickness than usual in the Spring, as the stom- ach is overloaded with Winter food that is not needed.
 Physicians and druggists say there are more cases of illness in Phoenix this Spring than in former years. Per haps there is not so much serious sick ness, but Spring languor, loss of appe- tite, headaches, sleeplessness, back aches, weakness and debility, indiges- tion and other ills that result from in- digestion or an overworked stomach, are more common than they have been for some years past.
 This has resulted in an unusual de- mand for Mi-O-na stomach tablets at H. Goodman's. Before he felt that ne could recommend this remedy, he test ed it rigidly in many cases of heart burn, indigestion, wind on the stomach debility, and other troubles that result from a weakened digestion. with the greatest success.
 In fact, Mi-o-na has been so uni formly successful in curing all stomach troubles that H. Goodman gives a signed guarantee with every 50 cent box to refund the money if it does not cure
 Take one little tablet before each meal for a few days, and you will soon regain perfect health and strength. and lose all fear of indigestion or stomach troubles. Ask H. Goodman to show you the guarantee under which he sells this remedy.

From CLYDE Fitch,s scrapbook.

Clyde Fitch, at a dinner that ne
gave in honor of a noted dramatic
critic, read from his library of scrap
books a western criticism on Hamlet.
The criticism, which was dated 1873,
ran:
There is too much Ginning In this
piece. The author is behind the times,
and seems to forget that what we
want nowadays is hair raising situa-
tions and detectives.
"In the hands of a skillful play
wright a detective would have been
put upon the track OF Hamlet's uncle,
and the old man would have been
hunted down in a manner that would
have lifted the audience out of their
cowhides.
1.-THE moral of the piece is not good.
The scene where Hamlet sasses his
mother is a bad example to the rising
generation.
"Our advice to the author Is more
action, more loye-making. and plenty
of specialties. The crazy girl scene
should be cut out altogether and a rat

lem Of transportation very prominent
ly to the front, and there Is railway
development in Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan, Alberta and British Columbia,
Such as has never been seen
anywhere. There are at present
over 5000 miles of railway In
operation In that country, and
a conservative calculation OF the
lines now in course of construction
places the extent at 5000 additional
miles; a large portion of which will
be completed during the present year.
This means the opening up of a con-
siderably increased agricultural area,
and there is every reason to believe
that In very few years the agricul-
tural wealth of the country will be
developed to such an extent that In
stead of "a Hundred Million Bushel

refer to the crop as 800, 100000 BUSH

BREATHING Sodium Peroxide.

At last man has learned to live
without air. Sodium peroxide. one of
the newer products OF electrolysis, is
a compound of sodium with oxygen
that decomposes in the presence Of
damp carbonic acid. The value of this
substance may be gathered from the
fact that a man can live in an alright
box as long as any sodium peroxide re-
mains unconverted. 1t Is suggested
that, by means of sodium peroxide.
submarine boats will be able to re-
main under water for considerably
longer periods than hitherto has been
possible. Just how long will be a
matter OF calculation, the factors in
the calculation being the amount OF
oxygen converted into carbonic acid
by one man in one hour. the number
of men present. and the weight of
peroxide that can be carried. Used in
mines, II should enable miner to

ASPARAGUS is IN THE VAN.
Precedes the Other Fresh Vegetables
That Spring Affords.

Asparagus is the precursor OF the
season of fresh vegetables, and there
is probably no other vegetable the
flavor of which is so highly esteemed
as is that of tender asparagus. Chem
ical analysis offers no explanation
of its pleasant flavor, but assigns to
1t decidedly high nutritious value.
Asparagus, however, furnishes one of
those interesting examples OF food
in it's composition than does milk,
is nevertheless a solid substance.
Thus the head of the asparagus con-
tains slightly more than SO per cent.
of water, which is only 1 per cent.
less than that contained in the let
tuce, but per cent. more than is
present in milk. The solid constit-
uents. however, are particularly rich
in nitrogenous substances, which
amount to 80 per cent. of the dried
vegetable.
Among these may be reckoned
purin body, to which has been as
cribed the harmful influence of as
paragus on some persona with gouty
tendency. When asparagus is con-
sumed in large quantities the output
of uric acid is very distinctly in
creased. The same effect is obtained
after drinking copiously of beer.
which also contains purin bodies, al
though they are entirely absent in
wines, and, of course, In spirits.
Sweetbread may be Objectionable on
similar grounds. There is no reason
for thinking, however. that when as
paragus is eaten in reasonable guam
titles It causes an undesirable dis
turbance of the bodily functions. On
the contrary, 1t is very digestible and
is easily tolerated, even by invalids.

This year, the lowest returns, as we
have stated. are estimated. at: Wheat,
S7,203,000 bushels; oats, 75,725, 900,
and barley at 16,9S0, 900 bushels, which
is very satisfactory, If not absolutely
satisfying. To better appreciate this
fact, all that is necessary to do is to
go back 20 years in the history OF
Western Canada. At that time the
agricultural product Of the whole
country was confined to Manitoba,
and consisted of 100000 bushels of
wheat. on an acreage of $1,000 and
1,270,26S bushels of oats. The entire
crop Was at that time required for
local purposes, and the export trade
was an unknown quantity. To-day,
allowing nearly 20,0OO,000 bushels Of
wheat for local consumption and seed
ing, there will be about 100000
bushels for export, which at 20 cents
per bushel will bring in outside money
to the extent of nearly $50,000,00O.
The barley and oats exported are
good for an additional s25 1000, 900. and

Wheat in Western Canada
A Good Crop of Excellent Quality Has Been
Raised This Year.

The grain crops estimates from the
Canadian West make a range OF from
S7,000,000 to 115,000,000 bushels, and
an accurate statement will be some
where between these figures-prob-
ably not far from 10000 900 bushels.
This year larger acreage was sown,
estimated at an increase of from Is
to 20 per cent, and had the average
yield of last year been maintained,
the aggregate would assuredly have
gone considerably beyond the 100000
900 bushel mark. The exceptionally
large influx of settlers was responsible
to a considerable extent for much of
the increased area, and, there can be
no doubt, is also responsible for
part of the decreased average yield.
The first crop raised by the new set
tler-often unacquainted with the
conditions of western agriculture-is
not usually prolific, and 1905-06 placed
a very large number of amateur farm
ers behind the stills of the plow; but
with another season or two will help
to raise the average instead of de-
pressing it.
OF the estimates to hand, that of
the Northwest Grain Dealers asso-
citation is the lowest: Wheat, S7,203,-
600 bushels; oats, 75,725,600 bushels,
and barley, 16,9S0,60O bushels. The
