there is a great exposition to be car

women of the west will leave their
part unadorned. In European courts
and in lofty places in the far off east,
our western girls have shown in bril-
liant light. Lady Curzon's name will
not soon be forgotten. No daughter
of a line of kings ever more adequate

It has sometimes been said that
the young of the west are a
step in advance of the men in the
graces and amenities of life. In other
words, that they are more polished
and attach more Importance to con.
ventionalities than their husbands
and brothers do. This is only partially
true. The of a son of the
soil anywhere in our western land are
good enough to pass muster among
manly men, and r therefore, the
manners of gentlemen. If a man be
honest, kindly and well-bred what
more is wanted? Surely it is natural
that ceremony, table etiquette and the
minor things that belong to social in
tercourse, should be in the hands Of
the women

The young woman of the west cares
more about reforms of every kind than

FILLING UP THE CANADIAN WEST.
The American Settler 10 Welcomed
to Canada.

number OF the leading newspa-
pers on this side OF the line have been
noticing the growth of the Canadian
West in recent years, and draw atten-
ton to the fact that there seems to be
no abatement OF the influx OF settlers
to that great grain-growing country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues to grow.
There we're AHA homesteads entries
there in July of this year, as against
3,571 in July, 1905. Canada .plumes
herself over this fact, with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
~neighbors happiest is the statement
that OF these AHA homesteadefs,
1912 were from this side of the line.
Little is said about the 81 Canadians
who recrossed the border to take up
homes in Canada West. or OF the sos
from Great Britain, or OF the 1926
from non-Brltlsh countries. 1t ap-
pears that the item in this July report
that makes Canada rejoice most IL
this of the 1912 American farmers
who decided to try their fortunes in
Canada West.
1.-THE compliment is deserved. The

other farming states, and go into
Canada fitted better than any other
class of immigrants for developing tho
new country. They take capital with
them, too, say Canadian papers proud
ly. In every way, they are welcome
over there"
AS the Express we'll says, the
American Is welcomed to Canada, and
the reasons given are sufficient to in
vite the welcome. The American
farmer knows thoroughly the farming
conditions that prevail in the Cana
dian prairie provinces, and Is aware
Of every phase of agricultural devel-
opment In recent years.
In practical knowledge OF what Is
wanted to get the largest return for
labor and investment he is by long
odds superior to any European set
tier. He knews what is required to
bring success, and he is able and will
ing to do It, and his future causes no
apprehension to the successful Cana
dian farmer. The agent Of the Cana
liam Government, whose address APP
pears elsewhere, says that the differ
ence between the and Gus
toms of the farmer from Dakota, Ore
gon or Minnesota and the farmer from
Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta
is not nearly so marked as that be-
tween the farmer of the Maritime
provinces and the Ontario tiller OF the
soil. Hence the welcome to the free
homesteads Of the Canadian West.

Entirely NeU Method
of Draping the Veil.

The present modish way of draping
the long lace veil is unlike any style
ever before introduced.
The veil is first placed around the
edge of the hatbrim and secured at
the back, allowing the ends to foat in
the air, then the net is drawn closely
over the face and under the chin,
and the flowing ends caught at the
back and gathered into a long gold
safety pin at a point near the nape of
the neck.
Invariably the veil should harmon
ize with the color of the hat, although
golden brown is a fashionable shade
that may be worn with almost n COL
ored hat.
The average length of the fashion
able veil for this use is one and one
half yards.
And the lace considered smartest is
Chantilly, having a dainty border on
all sides. The mesh may be plain or
dotted as individual taste prefers.
A few extremists favor heavy Dor.
ders having a vine or floral design
running from the lower edge over the
center, so that when the veil is over
the face the pattern stands out prom
inently, sometimes almost disfiguring
the c~ountehance.
The smartest driving veil is of ivy
green chiffon; it has a tucked or hem.
stitched border and is worn pinned
closely over the hat and face with
ends carefully tucked In at the back.
While this shade is best suited for
the eyes, it also has the advantage
over other shades, inasmuch as It
h~armonizes with almost any colored
hat.

Mass Of Stipa Grass.

We quote below, says the Literary
Digest, from an abstract made for the
Revue ScientifQue. Says the writer:
"In South America chiefly in the
vast plain that extends from Pata-
gonia up to Bahia Blanca, and also in
the province OF Santa Fe and in
Uruguay. there are large grasses OF
the genus Stipa, which grow in the
spring, and whose misdeeds have been
exposed by Mr.. Blanchard.
These grasses have a fruit about
as millimeters (three inches) long.
made up of three parts; first, a short
basal portion formed of a conical
axis with a very sharp point covered
with sharp stiff hairs directed back

formed of a membrane enclosing the
seed; and third, a shaft like that of
an arrow.

neglects to pluck them off at once
they penetrate the thickest garments
and reach the skin; IL an attempt is
made to withdraw them they break,
and the seed remains embedded in the
cloth, being removed with great diff
iculty. In any case, although man
may contend successfully against
them, animals are unable to do so,
and the sheep that are bred in such
numbers on the pampas are their
chief victims; the darts of the Stipa
penetrate their eyeballs and blind
them, so that, being no longer able
to find their way about, they die of
hunger and thirst. The seeds also
form amid the hair of the feet. and
owe the whole cutaneous surface a
a of sharp points which every
movement pushes nto the flesh, giving
rise TO ulcers, TO which the animal
generally succumbs.
THE darts also penetrate into tAe

mails, where they accumulate in
great masses; these form especially
under the tongue, where they render
difficult the movements of the organ
and the ~prehension of food.

the sound waves must first pentrate
