HAYS CITY,
4 PeopIe,s unIver.itx.
KANSAS.

The magnificent building of the Car
negie Institute of Pittsburg,. which has
Just been dedicated in the presence of
representatives OF foreign govern
ments and men of learning from all
over the world, is a memorial and
tribute to human aspiration. 1t is not
accident, but significant and natural
thing that this great peoples universi-
ty should rise in the heart of the roar
ing, grimy Birmingham of America.
Here the great fortune of the donor
was in large part made. Here are the
men who helped him make 1t. Here
he, too, in his youth. worked with
head and hands, and felt that insatiate
thirst for knowledge and light which
the new institute will help to satisfy.
To this day Mr.. Carnegie holds in
grateful memory the persons who
helped him by such small favors as
the loan Of single book. The Car
negie Institute embraces five great de-
partments: the library, with a quarter
of million volumes; the museum con-
tanning one Of the finest natural his
tory collections in the world; the art
gallery, with its annual international
jury and generous prizes; the music
hall, where the best work of great
composers has an adequate presenta-
ton; and the great group of technical
schools, for admission to which 10000
students have already applied. 1t
would be unjust to overlook the cour-
age and the far-sighted generosity of
the city of Pittsburg in building up
the institute, says the Youths Com
panion. Every offer which Mr.. Car
negie has made has been met halfway
by the municipality, and every step
his philanthropy has advanced has
been promptly paralleled by the city.
Skilled workmen and the great indus
tries in which they are engaged have
made Pittsburg one of the great
American cities. The Carnegie Insti-
tute will help to place it among the
great educational and artistic and
musical centers. Although its physical
atmosphere is dark and smoky. its
mental outlook is bound to be clear,
wholesome and invigorating.

To the Editor.
Dear Sir,
willingly give you the result of my
four and half years experience in
the District of Saltcoats.
Previous to coming here I farmed In
Baldwin, St Croix County, Wisconsin.
and as have heard a great deal about
the Canadian Northwest, 1 decided
to take trip there and see the coun.
try for myself. 1 was so impressed
with the richness of the soil that /
bought half section of land about
five miles from the town of Saltcoats.
l moved on to the land the following
June and that year broke 80 acres,
which 1 cropped in 1904, and had SO
bushels wheat per acre In 1905, with
an acreage of 160 acres, had 81 bush,
OILS wheat and 35, bushels of oats per
acre. In 1906, with It's acres under,
crop, had 25 bushels wheat and 40
bushels of oats per acre.
From the above mentioned Yields
you can readily understand that 1 am
very well pleased with the Canadian
West. OF course, 1 have had to work
hard, but l don't mind that when l
get such a good return for my labor.
To anyone thinking about coming to
this country 1 can truthfully say that
if they are prepared to work and not
grumble at trifies, they are bound to
get on. Some things would like diff.
ferent, but take the country all round,
don't know where to go to get bet

CHILDREN CRAWL.
This Method Utilized to Cure
the Ailine and Defdrmsd.

Eerlin, Sept. e. Professor Knapp 81
the University OF Berlin, who Las been
Owen the direction of the children's
department at the Royal hospital at
Berlin. has inaugurated the application
Of q new sensational method invented
by himself
The professor has noticed that a
good many of the infirmities of chill
dren arise from weakness of the YER
tebral column, which bring with
growth serious deformities. Professor
Knapp who has also had considerable
experience in the treatment Of animals,
noticed that the vertebra' IN OF
dogs and other creatIies sr.iered
greatly when these had to ak on
their hind legs as was the '""a with
animals trained for perfora lnces,
and that the only way to cure tbs was
to make the animal run over fonsid-
cradle distances in its natural y ;itlon.
Arguing on these premises, the pro
fessor considered the best way to
cure the child of spinal and bodily
weaknesses was to bring 1t back to
q normal position of the new born
infant, and make 1t walk on all tours.
Children therefore put under his
care are made to crawl about for a
long time at stretch on their hands
and feet, and this fortifies them and
puts all their members and all parts OF
the body into their natural position
again.
At present Professor Knapp has un-
der his care some forty children, their
ages varying from five to fifteen years,
and these spend some hours each day
crawling round the large hall His
method is about to be adopted in other
hospitals.

arm Is a clamp, and in each one OF
these clamps is placed fountain pen
and all the others follow the strokes,

genuine and original. This will prove
to be particularly valuable In signing
nay checks and circular letters. In
addition to making signatures. 1t may
be used for writing entire letters or
