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 rs'jroad
has been added, making a total of
fully 1000 miles in the three great
grain producing provinces of Canada.
Such an increase in the transportation

make good times not only in the dis
tricts where the railroads are being
built, but throughout the entire west.
Allowing S20, 900 a mile for construc-
ton, the sum of $1,000 900 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 IN
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
les; and everything else that makes
for the progress OF national life, and
the opening up Of additional thousands
of free homesteads, SO extensively ad-
vertised by the Canadian government
agent, whose address appears else
where.
1t was stated on the floor Of the
Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent representative that ten
years from now would see the bulk of
the population of Canada residing
west of the Great Lakes, and IL the
work Of railway building during the
present year is any criterion, the
prophecy made by the Canadian states
man may be easily fulfilled inside Of
the time stated. During the present
year no less than 1S9, 064 persons have
found homes in the Canadian west,
Of whom 57,796 were Americans who
have seen the great possibilities Of
this new West, and have decided to
cast in their lot with 1t. Certainly,
our neighbor north of the 10th parallel
is making a great record, and deserves
the success that appears to be coming
its way.

PROPER WAY TO CLEAN RIBBON.
Careful Handling Necessary to Pre-
serve Delicate Colors.

Ribbon is first busted and then
ironed between tissue paper. To
clean ribbon, a mixture is made in
the proportion of three ounces soft
soap, three ounces honey, to a tea
cupful each of gin and water.
The ribbon is placed on a board
and scrubbed with the mixture; it
is then rinsed by dipping several
times in as many lots of clean, cold
water, and not squeezed out, but
hung over a line to drip, then put be-
tween clean cloths and ironed by
drawing the ribbon from under the
iron; this prevents creasing and a
stringy appearance at finish; the iron
should be kept still with pressure
upon it.
Ribbon interviewer with tinsel is
best cleaned with bread crumbs and
powdered blue, then shaken and
rubbed with a clean cloth; tinsel, or
gold lace, with rock ammonia.
To wash colored ribbons, make a
strong lather of cold water and fine
soap; wash the ribbons and rinse
them several times, always in soapy
water, not clear water.
When partly dry iron between thin
pieces of muslin, having the ribbon
perfectly smooth.

Keep Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with a body full of blood
that cannot do it's duty to every part
because of its impurity; therefore, the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood SC that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy so good as that old family rem
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con
tains n grain of the solid extract of
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
of a combination of pure and mild
vegetable products, making it a blood
purifier ~unexcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or s-ugar-coated.

Rothschilds Never Prosecute.

While the Bank of England makes
1t a 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 a few shillings,
the R~othschilds make 1t 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 tho
safety of the concern by allowing IL
TO be seen that its treasures are not
adequately s~afeguarded.

LOOK TO THE FURNITURE.
Timely Application of Oil Now VIII
Work Wonders.

This is the season of the year when
the thorough housewife will procure
the best furniture oil that she can
discover, and, with the bottle In one
hand and a soft flannel cloth in the
other, will carefully anoint each piece
of furniture.
The tables, chairs, bookcases and
the various other pieces have now
endured four or five consecutive
months Of heat, and the rapidity with
which their parched and thirsty sur
faces will drink in any emollient
seems almost incredible.
This is especially true Of any fur
niture that has been kept in one of
our steam-heated apartments, the
temperature of which is invariably
abnormally high and exceedingly dry.
The effect of this superheated at
mosphere seems to remove all the
natural oils and saps from the wood
work, leaving it very brittle, with a
decided tendency toward warping and
splitting. Large pieces of furniture,
where there are broad pieces of wood
exposed, are particularly sensitive to
atmospheric conditions, and soon
show the results of this drying out
process.
Especial care should be given to
any ancestral piece of mahogany,
which may be saved from warping
and splintering to rack and ruin by
frequent applications of some good
preparation, such as any reliable fur
niture dealer would recommend.

Fathers Good Advice.

A young man from Pittsburg went
70 New York to make good" in his
chosen profession, says a New York
letter. The other night he stood in
the lobby of a hotel and a friend asked
him what he thought of New York
Il have only been here two days." he
replied, so have not seen the city
very thoroughly. My fathers parting
words to me when | left home were:
My son, you are going to a great city.
There is much good and much evil to
be found in New York. Keep to the
straight and narrow path as closely
as possible, avoid Wall street and,
above all. beware of the monkey
house,"
