LIKE OLD SHIPPING DAYS.
Three Big windjnmmers Reach New
York Together After Long Trip.

Three Bir N~indjnmmers Reach New
York Together After Long Trip.
Three large sailing ships came into
port Sunday a short time ago-an I'M
usual number for one day, and an old
sailor Oh the Battery said it reminded
him of old times, according to the New
York Times. The first to drop anchor
was the three-masted ship Avon. She
has been carrying coolies from Calcutta
to Surinam, Dutch Guinea. Following
her came the British ship Lucretia,
n~inety-two days out from Algoa Bay.
Astern of her was the j. D. Everett,
from BuenOs Ayres.
The Avon, Capt. Arthur Fox, tied up
at Boards stores, Brooklyn. having
locked in the morning. Her crew was
glad to get in, for the ship has been
through a trying experience since she
left Calcutta Oct. %. Her cargo on
the trip to Surinam was 500 coolies.
inGentured to the Dutch government for
five years. Eight died on the trip.
While in the Bay of Bengal the Avon
ran into one of the worst cyclones that
Capt. Fox in his years of going up and
down the world has ever experienced.
For two days the coOlies-men, women
and childrer-were kept under matches.
They were almost completely shut off
from the other part of the ship and in
the darkness of the hold they thought
that death vas coming.
A rapid falling of the barometer and
heavy gales marked the beginning Of
the cyclone, and when the storm came
the vessel was hove to on the starboard
tack under three lower topsails. At 4
o'clock the next morning there was q
terrific gale. sending the water flying
high oven the bow, and as the ship lay
to before the wind great quantities of
water came over the leeward quarter.
4 lifeboat and many of the ships sails
we're carried away in the gale.
The Everett made the trip to Buenos
Ayres from Boston, taking there 1,S0O,.

AMIR'S UNAMIABLE WIFE.
She Has Three Murders CharEs
Against Her Ill

She Has Three Murders Charged
Against Her Ill Temper.
Though subject to Great Britain in
all it's foreign relations, A~fghanistan is
independent in it's internal affairs and
the Amir is an absolute monarch. The
country covers an area about equal to
that of the New England States plus
New York. It's population is estimated
at nearly 100000. The present Amir
was born in 1872 and succeeded to the
throne in October, 1901.
The Amir supports a considerable
hare-n. 1t is not known how many
concubines he has, but there are four
regularly recognized wives, the chief
Of whom, known as the queen wife, en-
joys an allowance of $375,OOO a year.
The allowances of the other wives are
100000, $15O,O0O and $4,000, accord
ing to seniority.
There is also a queen mother in this
complex family, and it is well known
that the young monarch has a mon
key and parrot time of it in maintain
ing domestic discipline. The queen
wife, who was formerly q slave girl
and whose beauty infatuated Habib
Ullah while he was yet a prince, is a
termagant of the fiercest description.
She is madly jealous, obviously with
cause enough, and has not viewed the
accession of other wives with any de-
gree Of equanimity, but she cannot
help herself, because the Amir MAIN
tains, and the law justifies him, that
his rank entities him to at least four
wives. So the queen wife takes it out
on her attendants. She chastises them
freely and frequently, and thus far has
killed three of them with her own hand.
Accountable as this may seem in the
eyes Of western civilization, the worst
Of it is, SO far as the Amir is concerned,
that the queen mother, the queen wife
and all the other wives are forever in
terfering in politics. Their jealousies
and conflicting intrigues keep the court
in turmoil, and tenure of Office is pre-
c~arious, for Habib Ullah Is not cele-
brated for firmness. He is good-na-
tured and prone to avoid trouble by
yielding to it.

81. Paul, April "a, 1907:-Word has
been received at the Office OF the Cana
dian Government in st. Paul THAT seed
Ing has cpmmepced lat various points
throughout Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta.
sa The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground in splendid
shape for successful seeding operations.
The ine weather OF the past few days
has taken much of the frost out of the
ground, and during next week there
will scarcely be a district in which the
seeder Is not being operated. The most
optimistic conditions exist, and in all
districts the farmers are busy getting
things in shape. There will be a very
large acreage sown In spring wheat,
oats and barley. At many points
throughout the three provinces the
newcomers are busy unloading their
stock and effects, working night and
day in order to get on their farms and
become active agencies In the effort to
make the year 1907 the banner year in
grain-producing in Western Canada
Az compared with districts many hum
dred miles further south than this, it
will be seen that Western Canada
ranks amongst the first In the line OF
seeding operations for the present year.
It Is safe to say that farmers, who get
In their crop before the Goth or Gath of
May. will receive magnificent returns.
A number OF those coming in this
spring, who had not their land pre-
pared last fall. will break up enough
innd to get in a crop of oats and barley
and probably some fax. This, together
with the vegetables they will plant,
will give them ample food for them
selves and stock during the coming
summer and winter. These early seed
ing operations are not confined to n
district, but r spread ver n country
900 miles long by 400 miles In width.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different points
throughout the United States, are busy
giving information regarding the many
districts that are being made avail
able for settlers. Low railway rates,
information and literature are given on
application to the agent, whose name
appears in advertisement elsewhere in
this paper.

Her Address.

When Mrs. Craigie was in America
last year she was invited to make an
address at Il certain meeting. She &C
cepted the invitation, but her name,
through some oversight, was put far
down on the program, and worse than
that, the chairman, a rather stupid per-
son, introduced before her some speak
ers who We're not on the pragram at
all.
In short. it was close on to II O'Clock
when the chairman, with a pleasant
smile. bowed and said
MIR. Craigie. the eminent author OF
some Emotions and a Moral will now

Wants Clubhouse for Chorus Girls.

PITTSBCRG, November 1S.-A club
house for chorus girls, including among
its many attractive features a place for
the girls to dance. and all this arranged
and countenanced by church people, is
the latest fad in Pittsburg. Rev E. Ed
ward Young, pastor of the Second Pres
byterian Church of Pittsburg is head of
the scheme, and said: Il am heartily in
favor of clubhouse for chorus girls, and
| hope to be able to put a proposition
along those lines before such people as l
believe would be interested in the well
fare of the many chorus girls who come to
this city. 1t would be my idea to max
the club not so strict along religious lines
as to drive away those girls who wera
really not relgiouSly inclined OF course
| would want an air of religion about the
place, but l would not car. to have it so
absolutely rigid that chorus girls. MANY
of whom have been used to living a diff
ferent sort of life after show hours would
not feel that they were welcome 1t would
be my idea to equip such a place with
piano, good reading rooms and several
parlors. l believe that it would be a good
scheme to allow the young women to en-
terrain male callers, but they must be
decent fellows. l would have no drinking
about the place, and if the girls felt liko
dancing l believe that l should allow them
to dance a little, for the time has now
come when the religious people must dis
tinguish between the good and bad and
here would be a place to make a distinc-
