kits VS.. Trousers.

A Scot has written for the London
journals an argument in favor Of
wearing kits, especially in cold
weather. A fashionable physician OF
London supports his argument, and
the Tailor and Cutter admits that
the streets would be made more pic
turesque, Furthermore the kilt would
put an end to "baggy-kneed trousers"
A pair of trousers that bag at the
knees is indeed loathSome object.
The question of wearing kits is
not one of leg exposure to the cold
of winter, nor is it one of compare
tive durability and economy i'll ma
terial. 1t is chiefly a question of
legs, remarks Boston Herald. The
Psalmist said of the Lord: He
taketh not pleasure in the legs
of a man." Nevertheless, civilized
man, a vain thing, vainer than the
average woman, is conscious of his
legs. They must be sculptured if the
kilt is to be donned. Thackeray' S
marquis of Flarintosh appeared at
Partisan court balls in his uniform of
the Scotch archers or in his native
Glenlivat tartan, and he thought there
was no handsomer young nObleman;
but look at Doyle's picture of him,
and 10, he was sight. We may all
be deceived in this respect. The
most bow-legged may fondly imagine
that his left at least is poem. There
are eminent statesmen, judges, phil
anthropists who, killed, would appear
as inconsiderable beings, things OF
naught, yet they may rise superior
to baggy trousers or even to those
worn at half-mast

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.
Satisfactory Yields of Wheat and
Good Prices.

Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 80, 1906.
Mr.. w. H. Rogers, Canadian Govern.
ment Agent,
Indianapolis, Ind.
My Dear Sir:
When you were at our place in July
I promised to write, you what my
north quarter made per acre. You
will remember it was all sown to wheat.
Well, l finished threshing yesterday
and received from it an average of
43A bushels per acre-testing 641a
pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat
is the best sample l have ever raised
so uniform and even in size. You
may know it was good sample when
I tell you that have already sold 1000
bushels of it for seed to my neighbors.
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life. My wheat
totaled $3.50 bushels and my oats
nearly 5000.
If you remember pointed out to
you half section lying just west of
our house and joining my upper quar-
ter on the south, which said I should
have in order to make one of the best
farms in western Canada. I am very
glad to be able to tell you that I now
own that half section. My ambition
now is to be able to market 10000
bushels of wheat next year. If some
of those good, honest Hoosiers could
have been with me during the last two
weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seen it in
great piles in my granaries, feel sure
they would have been forced to
acknowledge there is no better farm
ing country in the world than this. 1
| may just say that 1 have done all my
farming with eight head of horses and
one hired man except during harvest
and threshing. This year I proved to
| my neighbor that the Hoosiers, when
once woke up" can raise grain equal
to the best Minnesota farmers. His
best yield was 421a bushels per acre,
SO you see "old Indiana" is holding the
| ribbon this year.
Yours very truly,
| N E. BAUMINK

How to Sleep in a Blanket.

There are great many very COM
petent treatises telling you how to
build your fire, pitch your tent and all
the rest of it. l have never seen des-
cribed the woodman's method of using
a blanket, however. Lie fiat on your
back. Spread the blanket over you.
Now raise your legs rigid from the
hips, the blanket, of course, draping
over them. In two swift motions tuck
first one edge under your legs from
right to left, then the second edge I'M
der from left to right, and over the
first edge. Lower your legs, wrap
up your shoulders and go to sleep. II
you roll over one edge will unwind
but the other will tighten-Stewart

Aaed African Explorer.

While many of the great explorers
of Africa-among them Barth, Speek,
Livingstone, Burton, Rohlfs, Nachti-
gal, Stanley-have passed away, one
of the pioneers, George Schweinfurth,
celebrated his SEVENTEEN birthday a
few weeks ago in perfect health, and
as eager for work as ever When
the Nile regions were largely terra in
cognita. He explored the Delta, the
deserts, the region between the Nile
and the Red sea; he learned Arabic,
and soon became so acclimated that
Africa seemed his real home-a para
disc compared to Europe, with its
"wretched, insufferable civilization"
Thus it was that he felt himself drawn
deeper and deeper into the Dark con-
tinent. His Heart of Africa" appear
ed in 1874, and was promptly trans
lated into all the European languages.
His later works attracted less atten.
ton, as they were addressed chiefly
to savants. In recent years he has
devoted much time to the preparation
of charts of the Eastern desert of
Egypt. Many of his papers have ap-
peared in the periodical of the Berlin
Geographical society and the Zeit-
schift fur Ethnologie. Although his
speciality has ',een botany, he has made
many important contributions to an.
thropology, among the more recent
| ones being an attempt to throw a

Senators Much Alike.

Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
and Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, look
enough alike to be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has heavy crop of hair,
which is kept closely trimmed, and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
If it were not for the fact that tho
Florida senator has few more gray
hairs in his head than his North Caro-
lima colleague it would be almost i'm
possible for the senate employees to
tell them apart.

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent ply
stefan for an obstinate case Of &C.
zema, / resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies, and was so well pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence of
the trouble.
'In July of this year a little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison OAK and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
a mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment. and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent. In
about three weeks his hands and
arms healed up. So we have lots of
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu

RIGHT SORT OF CORN BREAD.
Found Only in Tennessee, According
to Nashville American.

The best cornmeal in the world is
made in Tennessee-though the out
put is limited and not much of it
reaches the market where urbanites
dwell The steam buhrstone has
driven the water mill almost into
desuetude, only to be in turn crowded
out by the modern roller mill. The
ancient water mill still fingers in re-
mote sections and mountain fast
nesseS where clear waters flow
through pebbly channels in sylvan
shades. More than one of these ideal
mills may be found on Fighting creek
in Sewer county, under the shadows
of the Big Smoky, and near unto
Sugarland region, where the untaxed
juice of the corn flows from modest
and retiring stills. There are many
such mills in the Unaka region, and
in various sections of middle Tennes-
see, where the whitening blight of
modern civilization, with it's canned
goods and packing house meats, has
not yet penetrated, and where one

Listen to the water mill
Through the livelong day,
While the clicking of it's wheel
Wears the weary hours away.
But they don't bring the meal to
town. The town-raised persons taste
is too vitiated to appreciate it, says
the Nashville American. When he
eats corn bread at all with his oleo'
margarine or canned soup, he wants
the roller mill product, which sug-
gested the idea of sawdust breakfast
food to a Battle Creek Yankee. The
right sort of corn bread is made from
meal ground on a slowrunning water
mill from corn that has been well
dried, the little end of the ear shelled
| off for the chickens or pigs, the rot
| ten grains carefully eliminated, and
| the corn run through fan mill. Be
| fore being made into bread the meal
| is sifted through a wire sieve or sift
er, the meshes of which are not toe
| fine. Then If good bread is not pro
duced it is the fault of the cook. The
use of sugar in making any form OF
| corn bread should be made felony
! There is as much difference between
bread from properly ground meal and
| the common meal of commerce as
| there is between Smithfield ham and
packing house ham.
