The recent death of Miss Julia Bry-

"reminiscences of the poet and his fam
lily. Although always kindly, Bryant
was not man of winning personality
He was too dignlfied. But at home
he could unbend with his children and
their intimate friends he could occa-
sionally even romp. With strange chill

shy OF them, became even more than

ducing them to solemn and hopeless

AN EXTINCT ANIMAL.
Ehe Saber Toothed Tiger Was "a
Formidable Creature.

The Saber Toothed Tiger Was "a
Formidable Creature.
The most remarkable of all the ex-
unct feline animals are those known
to naturalists as the saber toothed cats
or tigers, a group comprising the
greater part of all the fossil forms.
They date back to the earliest times of
which we know anything about the
family In North America and reach
down to the time of man himself. A
large and powerful species described
from the Indian Territory by Cope
lived contemporaenously with the hairy
mammoth, as evidenced by the COM
mingling of their skeletons There can
be little or no question but that the
hairy mammoth was contemporaneous
with man in North America as well
as In Europe. It's geological range is
from the close of the eocene to the lat
ter part of the pleistocene.
The chief popularity of the animal
is the extraordinary elongated canine
teeth. The tail is of unusual length
and the legs are short. The animal
measures about seven feet In length
aside from the tail. The lower Jaws
have downward projection in front,
due to a fiangellke widening of the
jawbones, which doubtless served as a
protection to the teeth. preventing their
injury or loss. In some of the larger
forms from South America this fange
was not present while the canine
teeth were even more elongated than
is the case with this species. attaining
a length of over six inches and pro-
truding far below the jaws when
closed.

Wanted Further Instructions.

Everybody knows one or more of those
conscientious cyclists who cannot rid
themselves of the idea that no one can
be trusted to carry out the simplest de-
tails Of routine work without their per-
sonal supervision. 1t was one of these
men who sailed for America, leaving in
his brothers care a parrot of which he
was very fond. All the way across the
Atlantic he worried about the bird, and
no SCORER had he landed at New York
than he sent over this cablegram to his

Market for Dried Locusts.

Quotations are invited by the Cape
department of agriculture for the supply
of dried locusts during the forthcoming
five pounds net, delivered free on rail
at the nearest railway station. The 10.
Gusts must be thoroughly dried before
hagged and the bags guaranteed free
from earth or stones. 1t may interest
our readers to know that two raisers OF
poultry In the Cape peninsula state that
as poultry food they find dried locusts
most suitable If given in the warm mash.
They then efficiently take the place of
the imported American meat scraps, and
are much cheaper.-Rhodesia Herald

Productive Power of Western Cam
ada Soil.
Winnipeg correspondence:

Winnipeg correspondence:
There has never been any who have
doubted the productiveness of the soil
of Western Canada, but there are some
times found those who question the fact
of its superiority. During the past
season 1t has been shown that in grain
raising qualities 1t possessed the very
best The late spring prevented grain
being sown in many cases before the
middle of May. Yet, large percentage
of that sown at that time produced ex-
cellent yields. Had 1t not been for the
frost early In August, which visited
most of the north half of the continent,
there would have been a magnificent
yield In every district In Western Cam
ada. Throughout the Southern Alberta
district, where about 100000 acres was
sown to winter wheat, the yield will
be enormously large There are vast
tracts of valuable graln-growing land
in Western Canada that are available
for homesteads, the Canadian Govern
ment giving 100 acres free, and entry
may be made by proxy, by any near
relative. thus saving considerable cost
to the American who may have entry
made in this way Any Canadian Gov
eminent Agent will give you the par
ticulars.
Your correspondent has Just received
the following letter from Craik, Sas-
katchewan, which bears out the state
ment made In the first part Of this let

The tendency TO preserve relics OF alb

who visited West Philadelphia home
recently may be taken as an example.
He had been ushered into a srall sit

should be at liberty to see him. He
took chair, and, noticing eorncob
pipe on shelf, picked it up. found it
about half filed with tobacco. lit it and
smoked.
When the tobacco was exhausted he
put the pipe back on the shelf and
waited for his host The latter came
in, their business was soon finished.
and then the host explained that most
OF the articles In the room were pre-
served exactly rs the son of the house
had left them when he went to Europe

MAKING BUSINESS OF BENEvOlzNCE.

1t takes a practical mind to make
