Never Satisfied.

Many farmers are ambitious to
leave the farm and locate in the cities
and towns, there to live at ease and
to give their children city advantages.
In the cities we find many business
men, bankers, professional men and
not few mechanics who are eager
for the time to come when they may
retire to the enjoyment of country
or suburban life And so it goes

On the Argentine pampas, where
men are scarce and horses are cheap,
and the roads are hardly roads at all,
enormous wagons are used. Some
have hind wheels twelve or, even four
teen feet RICH, and the drivers seat
may be twenty feet from the ground.
Such wagons are built as much as ff-
ty feet in length and twelve to fifteen
feet in width. AS many as sixty hors-
es have been used on one of these
huge wagons, on the dusty plains Of
the LaPlata valley.-Farm Stock

mus in Labrador.

Winnipeg. Man. Feb An ali-rail
outlet from Winnipeg to Hamilton m
let, on the coast of Labrador, Will form
the eastern portion of an ocean to
ocean Canadian transcontinental rail-
way. dominated by James j. Hill.
This is the development indicated by
dispatches from eastern Canada, and
II explains in large measure the pecu-
liar statements of Mr.. Hill to the VIM
nipeg business men last spring AT
that time he gave assurance that he
would build from winnipeg to the Pa
cihc coast, commenting upon the im-
portant traffic the line would bring in
from the west. But he closed with
statement so lamely unlike his ordi-
nary utterances that 1t was never fully
accepted. This was to the effect that
after bringing in business from the
west, he did not care who carried 1t
on frcm Winnipeg. 1nasmuch as Mr..
Hill has a penchant for getting the
whole haul, and a large proportion Of
the traffi from the west would be
transcontinental in character, Cana
dams winkcd the other eye at this re-
mark and waited.
From Montreal there now comes the
explanation. OF Mr. HIS sudden de-
votion to salmon fishing and also the
hitherto untold chapter of his plan for
a new Canadian transcontinental. 1t
is announced that under cover of sal
mon fishing, Mr. Hill has made thor
ough reconnaissance of eastern Labra-
dor and that he has personally gone
over parts of the line where his sur
veyors have projected from Hamilton
Inlet to Chicoutimi The country is
said to be most favorable for the sort
of a railroad which Mr.. Hill desires,
being level and affording opportunity
for straghtaway line.
At Chcoutimi, the line connects with
the Quebec & Lake ST. John road and
from Quebec to ottawa and thence on
to Winnipeg the route will be over
lines built or controlled by Mackenzie
& Mann, .he projectors of the Canadian
Northern.
Westward from Winnipeg to the Pa
cific the line will be built by Mr.. FILL,
in accordance with the plans he an
nounced last spring.
Hamilton inlet is said to be fine
harbor and open turnout the year de-
spite its northern latitude. "A contract
haa been closed with the Newfound
land government for a fast transatlan-
tic steamship line to operate from the
terminus of the new transcontinental
which, it is announced, will be COM
pleted before the projected Grand
Trunk Pacific.

practical new Spanish device In the
form of an Enclosure of bottles, flag

extracted and replaced with liquid Of
an inferior quality The invention
compels the brcalli of the seal or

Frances decision to have six Dread
naughts four years hence is now final.
Two Of the vessels, to be named the
Danton and the Mirabeau, were laid
down at Brest and Lorient some
months ago. The orders for the other
four, the Noltaire, Diderot, Condorcet

with private firms, and building will
be begun at once. All six ships will be
of 1880 tons displacement, and all
driven by turbine engines of 22,500
horse power, giving an estimated speed
Of nineteen knots. The armament will
consist of four 12-inch guns, twelve

Ruxs Heir: Fools snouse.

Wabash, Ind.-There was hurry
call for physician to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Eli Middleton the other
day. The Middletons are prosperous
farm people. The messenger said thai
stork was due. The doctor was met
at the door by the farmer, who smil-
ingly told him it was all over and his
services We're not needed.
The doctor asked to see the little
burden the stork had brought and when
it was produced he recognized that it
was at least three days old. Mrs.
Middleton bitterly resented the insin-
uation. Then the doctor called in an
other physician, who agreed with him.
Mrs. Middleton thereupon confessed
that she was so anxious to present her
husband with an heir that she had
gone to Fort Wayne two days ago and
secured the infant Mr.. Middleton pro-
poses to keep it anyhow.

Going and Coming.

Minneapolis, Feb. 6.-The car scare

the milling industry and threatens the
closing of several more mills unless
the situation eases.
Millers say it is catching them going
and coming. The abnormally light
movement of wheat from the country
to Minneapolis makes cash wheat pre-
miums so high that it is difficult to
make flour of it and compete with
-four mills outside, while at the other
end it is difficult to load out the flour

When the northwest transportation
situation rights itself they will do bet
