The telephone is the only protec-
ton good many rural communities
have against fire and crime, and it
has proved a very effective one.
Few towns or villages have adequate
fire fighting apparatus or can afford
an alarm system, and in the old days
when a cloud of smoke or a glow of
flames against the sky gave the
first signs of threatened destruction
a farmers buildings might be burn
cd to the ground before help enough
to do any good could reach him.
Now If fire starts anywhere along
rural telephone line the nearest
subscriber calls central up and tells
her what has happened. She noti-
fies all the neighbors, those on other
lines as well as those nearest to the
scene of trouble. In many towns of
considerable size the telephone has
been organized into a regular fire
alarm system, and a factory bell or
whistle is used to give the code sig.

RothschiIds Never Prosecute.

While the Bank of England makes
1t point never under any circum-
stances to relinquish the prosecution
of those who have defrauded it in the
slightest degree, being willing, if need
be, to spend thousands of pounds to
capture and prosecute people who
have robbed it of even few shillings,
the Rothschilds make it a rule never
to appeal to the courts or to the police
in such matters. OF course, they are,
like every other banker, occasionally
the victims Of dishonesty, but neither
the police nor the public ever hear
about the matter. This has always
been a principle Of the heads Of the
house, who take the ground that 1t is
better to bear the loss in silence than
to disturb popular confidence in the
safety of the concern by allowing it
to be seen that its treasures are not
adequately safeguarded.

You are not always In a foreign
country when you are out of the

exchanging experiences with a New
Orleans Picayune writer.
Il was held up in a Nova Scotia
coast town one evening, awaiting the
arrival of belated steamer. The only
attraction in the place was an open-air
concert by the town band, and 1
strolled out to kill time. The men,
bers of the band wore the red uniform
and the British colors were suspended
from the front of the stand.
Il took my seat on fence near by.
Just as l got myself well balanced a
cop came and courteously informed
me that the fence was private prop
erty and that l would have to climb
down. I obeyed orders.
While waiting for the music
chatted with the cop. The band got
busy and played several numbers, all
foreign airs.
when l asked the cop If he knew
the leader, he said he did. asked
him to butt in and tell the leader that
an American was in the crowd, ard
that he would like to hear something
from home.

THE PROGRESS OF THE CANA.
DIAN WEST.
Nearly 100000 Of an Increase in Cana
da's immigration in 1906.

The progress of a new country can
not be better ascertained than by not
ing the increase of railroad mileage in
its transportation system, and, judged
by this standard, the Canadian West
leads all the countries in the world
during the current year. Thirty years
ago there was not one hundred miles
of railroad west Of the Great Lakes,
and very little prospect of a trans
continental route for many years to
come, but by the end Of 1885 the
Canadian Pacific Railway was within
measurable distance of completion,
and last year-twenty years later
over 5000 miles of railroad traversed
the provinces Of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work Of rail-
road construction has been vigorously
prosecuted, and by the end of 1906.
some 5000 miles of completed railroad
has been added, making a total OF
fully 11,000 miles in the three great
grain producing provinces OF Canada.
Such an increase in the transportation
facilities of the country is bound to
make good times not only In the dis
tricts where the railroads are being
built, but throughout the entire west.
Allowing $4,000 q mile for construc-
ton, the sum of $1O0,000,000 will be
put in circulation, and this in itself
should cause good times to prevail in
a land where work is plentiful, wages
are high, and the cost of living IS mod
crate.
But the building of new railroads
through Western Canada means a
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation
by the cost Of construction. Addition
al railway building means the opening
Of new agricultural districts and an
additional area under crops; a largely
increased output Of grain to foreign
markets with consequent financial re
turns; the erection Of elevators and
the growth of villages, towns and cit

1t was stated on the floor of the
Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent representative that ter
years from now would see the bulk OF
the population of Canada residing
west of the Great Lakes, and If the
work of railway building during the
present year is any criterion, the
prophecy made by the Canadian states

year no less than 1S9,064 persons have

over the hard points in his lessons.
Artyoshi has not made up his mind

Pattern No. 5643.-This dainty lin
gerie blouse is one of the most at
tractive of the season. The style is
generally becoming, but particularly
so to the slender woman, as the deep
plait at the shoulder gives width to
the figure, and lends additional full
ness in front. The arrangement Of
the tucks in vest effect leaves a
space in front, thus affording a fine
bit of handwork, or a pretty design
in lace. If the elbow sleeves are de-
sired the pattern provides for full
length sleeves finished by deep cuffs.
AS shown in the illustration, white
china silk was used, trimmed with
narrow Valenciennes insertion; but
several materials are adaptable such
as null, dimity, organdy, batiste and

Proper Care of a Pipe.

To obtain the best results from a
briar pipe and increase the pleasure of
smoking, the following hints will be
found of value: Fill the pipe well,
hight the tobacco evenly and smoke
slowly. This will avoid excessive heat
ing of the wood and VIII prevent it
from burning. See that the tobacco
is entirely consumed, so that the cake
may form all over the tlside of the
bowl. Do not fill new pipe until it
has cooled Off Remove the cake which
forms inside of the bowl frequently, as
if the cake is allowed to become too
thick it will split the bowl, because
when heated the cake expands more
rapidly than the wood. When the cake
has been scraped away the same care
should be taken as with a new pipe.
Always keep your pipe clean; this will
prevent it from getting strong. Best
of all, keep several pipes in use and
change frequently.
1t is no easy task to give direction
that will insure the life and coloring
of every meerschaum pipe. Much de-
pends on the quality of the material
as also on the care exercised by the
smoker. Always smoke slowly. Use
a meerschaum button. Allow the pipe
to cool before refilling. Keep the
hands away from the bowl while it is
hot. Use top bowl II the smoker de
sires to color the pipe to the top
Avoid smoking the pipe out of doors
in rainy or extremely cold weather
Unscrew the mouthplece only when
necessary; that is, when the pipe is
clogged and needs cleaning. Use a
knife with rounded edge when it be
comes necessary to remove the cakine
in the bowl.
