Won BUELOW WILL
QUIT THE KAISER

BERLIN, Nov. 2.-In spite of the fact
that Crown Prince Frederick William
visited Chancellor Won Buelow today,
which is an indication that the chancel-
lor retains the imperial favor, there are
many rumors current that the chancellor
will persist in retiring as an outcome of
the publication of the now famous inter
view with the Emperor that appeared in
the Daily Telegraph of London. Various
statesmen are mentioned to succeed him.
Fl. Won Kiderlen- Waechter, the German
minister at Bucharest, Roumania, has
been summoned to act as foreign Secre-
tary during the illness of Herr Won
Schoen, which promises to be protracted.
Herr Won Kiderlen-W who is
known for his wit, was formerly one of
Emperor Williams most intimate
friends. This was when he was sta
toned at Hamburg. He came into GER
tain disfavor because he made his majes-
ty the object of an untimely jest. AS a
result he was transferred to Bucharest,
but he has since won back his position
of confidence.
1t became evident today that the plan
Of campaign for ending the Boer war
which was drawn up by Emperor Will
liam and sent to Queen Victoria, accord
ing to the interview with his majesty
that appeared last week in the Daily
Telegraph, was not communicated to the
British war office This matter has
aroused the ire of the Irishmen, who
affect to see an attempt to rob their
fellow countryman, Lord Roberts, of the
glory attached to his success.

Collision with Motor Cycle and
Machine Collapses.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-While expert
menting Sunday with his wind wagon"
DR.. Julian P. Thomas, the aeronaut, met
with an accident at the Morris Park ex-
pertinent grounds of the Aeronautic soci-
ETY. which at the time was believed to be
fatal
The wind wagon was cutting along at
a high rate of speed when DR.. Thomas
saw in his path a motor cycle. In at
tempting to swerve the fore part of the
wind wagon it collapsed and DR.. Thorn
as was pinned to the earth under the
heavy machinery.
DR.. Thomas was carried to the club
rooms unconscious and remained in that
state for several minutes. Physicians de-
cided that he had suffered no internal
injuries, but still feared that serious spi-
nal trouble would result.
LIE MANS, Nov. 2.-In the presence of
the army committee of the Chamber of
Deputies, Wilbur Wright scared to an
altitude of $50 feet and stopped the mo-
tor of his aeroplane. He landed after
an admirable oblique plunge of about 400
yards. Later Mr. Wright made flight
of ten minutes, carrying as a passenger

The old man laid his arm over the
lads shoulders.
"you must know now what your
blindness would have kept you from

When YOU can see, look for the face
which holds the greatest love. You
will not be mistaken. 1t will be your
mothers"
The great surgeon looked ror mo-
ment or two into the sightless eyes ana
then turned and laid his hand on the
fathers trembling arm.
"Only God can make him see' my
friend" he said kindly. "Your boy

Lord Lyveden is called the rolling
stone of the British peerage, so many
have been his vacations and adventures.
After leaving Elton he was plucked for
the army, but re-enlisted in the Third
battalion, Highland light infantry. He
left the service after time and went
on the stage, playing for some seasons
with Mr.. and Mrs. Bancroft at the Hay
market theater as Percy Vernon. he
had some curious experiences in America
in 1908 when he personally conducted a
touring party of distinguished English
men and women through British Column
bia. He became in turn a ships steward,
an innkeeper and again an actor. Eight
years ago he succeeded to the title as
third baron of a creation of 1859, but
inherited very little money with the title.
Recently Lord Lyveden has been asso-
ciated with DR.. Lunn, who runs the
tourist agency which owned the Argo-
naut.

and A succeeds B must give nut or six
pies. If A fails he gives the nut to B,
If B thinks that he can break the nut
with a less number of thumps he tells a
so: and it is then for A to accept the
bet or to bid a lower number. Another
form of betting is to put three nuts in a
row and to break all those with one
stroke of a knife. Small boys bet by
tossing the nut into the air and letting
it fall to earth. OF course there is al

Rheumatfsm.

1t has been said that to know what
Rheumatism really is, one must imag-
inc oneself squeezed in powerful
wise; one turn more and Neuralgia
will be felt: and the few final twists
will give an idea of the condensed mis-
cry of Govt. Be that as it may. Rheu-
matism is one of the most excruciat-
ingly painful diseases which affiict hui
manity. II is not always dangerous.
unless 1T extends to the heart. and then
the risk is greatly increased. This dis
ease. although not always Immediately
dangerous, as already observed. will, if
not checked, gradually undermine the
patients health while it wastes the
muscles, discrepancies the joints. and
renders the sufferer a cripple. Innu-
merable remedies have been suggested
for the relief and cure of this most
painful disease; but the safest and
surest application in the world is st.
Jacobs Oil. which never fails TO cure
Rheumatism, unless there be serious
complications with established organic
disease, and even then relief will be
almost instantaneous.

A single big gun of the many now
being put in place for the protection
of seacOasts costs a large sum. Some
interesting figures ON this subject may
be quoted On the authority of an ord
nance expert at Washington, says the
Philadelphia Record.
A Pinch breech-loading rife, with
its disappearing carriage, costs $141,-
600; a 10-inch breech-loader, 500, $50,
and an S-inch, $4,000. The figures
show that modern Eigh-powered guns
cost great sums. and the cost Cf nring
them is proportionately large.
The report of experts who have in
spected these guns and the devices for
securing an accurate aim, shows that
great saving is effected by modern
range-iring and position-fndi de-
vices.
The demoraliZing effect of a hit as
compared to a miss cannot, it is said,
be reduced to a money value, but it
costs big money to shoot big gun and
tken miss the mark. For example
there may be cited the case of the T.
inch gun. To miss the mark is to sim
ply throw away $5617O With the 10
inch gun the loss is $322.40, and with
the S-inch rife it is $164.65.

Snow for Poultry.

The possibility of lesSening the labor
of caring for poultry by supplying snow
instead of water has been studied at
the Connecticut Storrs Experiment Sta
ton by C. X. Graham. When pullets
and hens were fed wheat screenings
and beef scrap from hoppers in col
ony houses on low ground frozen dur
ing most of the experimental period
and covered with snow during part Of
the time the old hens did not furnish
as many eggs or appear to be in as
good condition as the younger birds.
The old hens were apparently af-
fected by the snow, the egg production
being smaller on the days when snow
was on the ground and also consider
ably less when the ground was frozen
that is, on the cold days when water
was not accessible. These conditions
do not seem to have affected the young
er birds, and they show an increase in
eggs Immediately after each snow
Storm, gradually dropping back as the
snow disappears.
In the case OF other lots kept under
much the same conditions in houses on
higher and drier ground the cold
weather did not affect the egg produc-
ton materially, but there was no.
ticeable increase in the amount of
grain eaten during the cold weeks
when comparison is made with the
very mild ones. This. however, NAV
have been caused by the birds forag-
ing more during the milder periods.
These birds did not appear to mind
the cold, and there was not the slight
nor were there any colds"

Modern Fruit Without Seed,

At present the fruits in common use
anas, pineapples and a certain kind of
oranges, together with some other trop-
zeal fruits that do not reach the mar
kets of the world in great quantities.
Yet cultivators do not greatly despair
of adding TO this list-of eliminating
the small and lard seeds of the straw
berry, the raspberry, the blackberry
and the currant, and of providing for
the market the long-felt want. the seed
less grape Nor do they frown alto
gethed on the enthusiastic fruit con-
sumner. who looks forward TO a future
coreless apples and pears, of seedless
cherries and plums.
In tie meantime cultivators of fruit
are much more anxious still further to
improve the means of transportation
than to provide more luscious fruit
Should they succeed it may prove pos
siDle, even in our time, with the help
of more scientific methods of tranSpor-
tation, to draw TO our Northern mar
kets some of those edibles that now
make the sultry tropic almost a regret
TO the untraveled-even such delicacies
as the avocado pear, the custard apple,
the herimoyer, the sweetcup, the
sweet-sop, the druian, the pawpaw, the
rambutan, the mango and the mango

O. 9. Farmers Are Recognizing
Splendid Opportunities Offered
by Western Canada.

q. =. Farmers Are Rccognizfnx
Splendid Opportunities offered
by Western Canada.
st. Paul, Mimi. Fearuary-Present
indications are that the Canadian
Northwest will draw an exceptionally
heavy movement of new settlers from
the United States this year. 1t should
surpass the banner record for 1907.
This is not only based on the fact
that the Americans have come 10 re-
alize generally that the Canadian
Northwest offers splendid opportuni-
ties, but also because the railroads have
awakened TO the fact and are offering
rates TO the Canadian Northwest which
are exceptionally favorable
The lines which lead TO st. Paul
from the east and south are offer
ing homeseekers' rates to the Cana
dian Northwest this year which are
on a parity with those in existence to
the southwest for couple of seasons
These rates can be obtained from
any agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, who will be pleased TO give all
information possible regarding those
districts which offer the greatest in
ducements to settlers. The weather
throughout Western Canada has been
remarkably good this year. A tele-
gram from the winter wheat belt of
Southern Alberta dated at Cardston,
Alberta, January Doth, says:
This winter up to January 25th,
was nothing short of marvel, in fact,
it was the finest anyone can remem-
Der for twenty-five years, though there
have been others nearly as good. The
days were fine, sunny and warm with
light frosts at night. Overcoats and
gloves, etc, were discarded by most
people in the day time. There was so
little frost in the ground that post
holes could be dug without any trou
Bile after the first inch was broken
through. Winter wheat remained
fresh and green although there has
been no snow since the September
storm. If there is an early spring,
winter wheat should gain great
start"
Amongst the reports of the yield
last year the following extracts are
taken:
III. Howe, of Magrath, Alta, writing
on November, 1907, says: Il have 20
acres in crop, so acres of wheat and
Z acres of oats. My average yield of
oats was 80 bushels to the acre, and of
wheat 45 bushels. Tie value to me
was $35 per acre."
j. f. Haycock, of Magrath, writes
in November: Il had Go acres in win
ter wheat which went 60 bushels to the
acre oats averaged so bushels. I also
had II tons of hay worth $40 per ton.
1 got 600 bushels of potatoes from 3
acres of land; l got 8 tons per acre
from 5 acres of sugar Deets."
j. f. Bradshaw, of Magrath, had
1000 acres of winter wheat last year
which averaged 1919 bushels to the
acre. The value of his farm products
Ier acre was: Wheat, $31.60; oats,
$11.20, and barley, $25.15s
