SAVES HER VISITING CARDS.
One Woman's Pet Economy Certainly
a Queer One.

Women are proycrbially niggardly
on on or two points; every woman
that cvcr existed had some pet ono
my, no matter how CXtravagant she
may be in some respects. There's
the who spends hundreds OF
dollars on imported gowns, but hates
to give up one penny for a paper OF
pins. The papcrsaving person who
drops into department stores and hO-
tells to borrow stationery rather than
spend any money upon the commodity
always Is with is; We all know the
stamp stcalcr nd the match borrow
err; but the ~,isiting-Card cConomizcr
Is a new brand of woman who exists
only in the most exclusive society.
So %niggardly Is she on the point OF
her visiting cards that she demands
them back from her intimate friends:
from her mere a"cquaintanccs she
steals them at an opportunc moment
when the servants back IL turned, or
when the mistress has left the room.
She puts them slyly back into her
card case. BY n clever series of ma.
nipulations II is said she can make
100 of them go as far as 500 went be,

9dkANp TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL.
b AND. WESTERN CANADA.
Fopen Up Immense Area Of Free
Homestead Lands.

The railway facilities Of Western
Canada have been taxed to the ut
termost in recent years to transfer
the surplus grain crop to the eastern
markets and the seaboard. The large
influx Of settlers and the additional
area put under crop have added large
ly to the grain product, and notwith.
standing tho increased railway facil.
tiles that have been placed at the dis
posal Of the public, the question OF
transportation has proved to be a Sc
rious one.
1t will, therefore, be good news to
everyone Interested in Western Can
ada to know that an authoritative
statement has been given out by G.
M. Hays, president of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway. that that rail.
way will do its share towards moving
the }crop of 1907 from Alberta, Sas-
katEhewan and Manitoba to tioe water,
aItd thus assist in removing a serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
4nring recent years. Mr.. Hays, who
has just completed a trip from Port
age la Prairie to Edmonton in a prai.
RE schooner, a distance OF 1886 miles,
which was covered in eighteen days,
Is enthusiastic about the country.
This will be gratifying to settlers In
the Canadian West, even II Mr.. Hays
declines to be bound to q time limit
with the exactitude Of a stop.watch.
The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be
in n position to take part in the trans.
portation Of the crop Of 1907, and that
will be satisfactory to the settlers in
that country when the harvest is gar.
nered.
The wheat crop Of 1906 in Western
Canada was about 80, 200. 900 bushels.
and, with the increased acreage which
ia confidently expected to be put I'M
der crop next year. 1t is safely calcu-
lated that fully 1875, 900, 900 bushels will
be harvested in 1907. The necessity
for increased transportation facilities
/ are. therefore. apparent, and the state.
ment made by Mr.. Hays will bring en-
couragement to the farmers Of the
Canadian West, new and old. The
opening up OF additional thousands OF
free homesteads is thus assured by
the agent Of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose address appears else.

For busting use a pair Of old gloves
belonging to one of the men of your

for this kind Of work. Gloves should
always be used for sweeping II you
would avoid ungightly and painful

After taking them off always beat
them out of q window in order to In.
sure that every particle Of dust is
removed from them, and If you should
get them wet, rub them with a little
cosmoline and let It dry in.
In washing, of course. you will not
wear the rubber gloves. because they
would be in the way in the first place,
and in the second you will not need
them as the water will be clean. II

either glycerinc or zinc ointment, and
do not expose the sore parts to water
any more than you a help until
they are healed. Do not tie your
fingers up tightly In n wad OF rags
and an old glove finger. for this keeps
the air from the sore and thus in.
