VITALITY THE MAIN THING.
He Who Has Il Pulls Through, the
Other Patient Dies.

Two men undergo operations of the
same character in a hospital. The
same surgeon does the work. The con-
dItions are identical. Equal care is X
ercised In each operation and each is
successfully performed. Yet one man
RECEIVERS, the other dies. Or there is
a tremendous business pressure which
does not let UP for months. IL puts
the men under a terrible strain. One
man goes to pieces and his business is
wrecked. He can not keep the pace;
he loses control of himself. His rival
has no better brains than he-perhaps
not so good-yet he pulls through sue
cessfully. We say that there is a diff
ference in vitality, hat one nan has
more of it than the other, says a writer
in the Worlds Work.
/ once saw a man in a hospital who
was suffering from five fatal diseases
and yet he would not die. He had
kept on living year after year in spite
of everything. He refused to succumb.
We find the same thing illustrated
every day. In a shipwreck there are
men who seem to give up their lives
without a struggle, without any power
to resist; others cling to an open raft
for days without food, almost frozen,
constantly whipped by the waves, but
for some reason or other they survive.
The vitality in them is strong.
Notice how rapidly and surely one
man himself after a nervous
breakdown, while another dgags along
through years of semi-invalidism. No
tice the results upon two men of a long
cold drench of rain. One of them
comes down with pneumonia, the other
suffers no i'll effects. How is it to be
explained? =
He has a reserve somewhere-an
inner power of resistance; an aggres-
sive something that will not be downed
we call it vitality. A man can't have
a more valuable asset than that. 1t
means joy instead of dumps, success
instead of failure, JOY, perhaps. instead
of death.

Last year I suffered with a tremen-

up and scratch my body all over, until

Lights That Guide Mariners.

"The coastwise lights of England, y
of which Kipling sings, have been in
creasing in brilliancy as well as in
number ever since the dawn of the
nineteenth century. In that dark age
weary mariners crawled into port by
the pickering glare of 20 beacons and
six floating lights; now they may glide
safely into haven under the powerful
beams of $50. Lighthouses are as an
cient as civilization. The Pharos of
Alexandria flung it's light on the decks
of oriental barges 2.237 years ago.
The Romans, who loved the light, have
left the ruins of one of their light
houses on a cliff at ~Boulogne, while at
Dover may still be seen all hat re-
mains of another. Petroleum and the
electric light have made the early
nineteenth century beacons ridiculous.
On the summit of the tower an open
crate was fed with billets of wood and
later with coal. Scotland abandoned
coal altogether for more up-to-date
methods in 1916 and England six years
9fterward.

BROKE THE WILDCATS BACK.
Philadelphia Mar Victorious In Hand
to-Hand Combat.

Unarmed and alone, Thomas Dyke
was attacked by a wildcat on Locust
mountain, south of Mount Carmel, Pa.
He had been in Ashland and started
20 drive home. His horse stepped on
Q nail and he put the animal in a sta

Then he started to walk home and
was on the mountain when the cries

minutes later he saw the beast ten
feet in front of him. The animal
finally sprang. He jumped aside and
as the body of the cat struck the road
he leaped upon it. For several min
utes the fight between the wild ami
NAL and the man went on. At length
by a quick swing he broke the ami.
mails back.
A physician dressed the several
deep scratches on his face and hands,
but otherwise he was uniniured.

ATTRACTIONS OF wEaTEHN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Returns for the
Year 1906.

The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many of our journals
and public men to "sit up and take no
tice," to use a current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
number of settlers have focked to the
prairie provinces of Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportun-
tiles are open to all who desire to
avail themselves of them.
The greatest factor in attracting
settlers lies in the inherent richness
OF soil and suitability of climate for
producing what is universally consid-
cred to be the finest wheat in the
world-the "No. 1 Hard of Canadian
growth-and other cereals that rank
in the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, 90
000,0 900 bushels: oats, 10000. 900 bush
els; barley, 1900. 000 bushels; and
when 1t is considered that the entire
population of the three provinces-as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
Just completed-is only $4,000, 1t Is
easily seen that the lure of the Cana
dian West is in its agricultural poten-
tialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district is within easy
reach of outside markets, and that
good prices for all lines of farm prod
ucts rule practically from the COM
mencemert of agricultural operations.
This is 4 factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements in the
West were made in Canada and in the
United States, and has given a great
impetus to Canadian Western settle
ment in recent years.
The free grant system of home
steads which prevails in the prairie
provinces, by which every settler who
is able and willing to comply with the
conditions of actual settlement (by no
onerous) is given 160 acres
free, except $40 for entry, is a great
drawing card, and in the last fiscal
year gathered in over 1S9 900 addi-
tional to the western population, of
which 57,796 we're from the United
States.
The further fact, as is strongly
brought about by the agent OF the
Canadian Government, whose address
appears elsewhere, that a splendid
common school system, practically
free, prevails throughout the entire
country. and is easy of access in ever
the most remote districts, is another
great inducement to the settler who
has the future welfare Of his family
In mind, and this, coupled with the
fact that western Canadian law and
order are proverbial, completes a
circle Of good and sufficient reasons
why the tide of immigration has set
in so steadily toward the country to
the north Of our boundary line.

Laundry work at hone would be
much more satisfactory If the right
desired stiffness, It is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength thap other makes.

Pen for Captured Rats.

AS the Hindu population object to

captured rats may be confined as pen

being kept apart.

been most gratefully received by Maj
