Fine Specimens of sarcophaei Were
Found by Rev. p. DeIlattre.

Among the most recent finds which
have been made at Carthage by the
Rev. P. Delattre are a number of
sarcophagi which present a great in
terest. In many of these, says the
Scientific American, the top cover is
sculptured in relief with a figure of
life size, carved out of marble and
painted in many colors. One very fine
specimen was found in the metropolis
at depth of 25 feet On the cover
is a figure of woman executed in the
Greek style, with long garment
reaching the ankles and veil cover
ing the head. Great technical skill
is shown in treating the different tis-
sues. The flesh parts are we'll pol
ished, and the eyes are painted, CIV
ing lifelike aspect. The hair is
gilded. Inside the sarcophagus were
found the remains of the person, with
some bronze objects. A second sar-
cophagus was that of person sup
posed to be a priest. The sculptured
figure has abundant hair and cur
ling beard. 1t wears long robe with
short sleeve. Here also the eyes are
painted, and are very expressive.
Among the remains are massive
gold ring with a portrait similar to
the above, also three other gold rings,
amulets, etc. One of the most recent
finds was sarcophagus with the

A moment later We saw its lights,

a cheerful glow into the storm. The
little vessel swung uneasily at its
berth as we made our way aboard
and with shouts of men and clang OF
bells it was soon tossing on the dark
waters of the bay.
The cabin of the tug was fitted with
a shelf-table, and over it swung a
lamp of brass that gave dim light
to the little room. Mrs. Knapp seated
herself here, spread out the paper

new DISTRICTS AND
NEW RAILWAYS
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET
TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER
FOR SETTLEMENT.

To the Editor - Sir:-Doubtless
many of your readers will be pleased
to have some word from the grain
fields of Western Canada, where such
large number of Americans have
made their home during the past few
years. 1t is pleasing to be able to re-
port that generally the wheat yield
has been good; it will average about
20 bushels to the acre. There will
be many cases where the yield will go
35 bushels to the acre, and others
where so bushels to the acre has
been recorded. The oat and barley
crop has been splendid. The prices
of all grains will bring to the farmers
a magnificent return for their labors.
An instance has been brought to my
notice of a farmer in the Pincher
Creek (Southern Alberta) district
where winter wheat is grown-who
made net profit of $19.55 per acre, or
little less than the selling price Of his
land. 80, 40, and so bushel yields are
recorded there. The beauty about the
lands in Western Canada is that they
are so we'll adapted to grain-raising,
while the luXuriant grasses that grow
everywhere in abundance make the
best possible feed for fattening cattle
or for those used for dairying pur-
poses.
The new homestead regulations
which went into force September, 1908,
attracted thousands of new settlers. 1t
is now possible to secure 100 acres in
addition to the 100 acres as free
grant, by paying $500 an acre for 1t.
Particulars as to how to do this and
as to the railway rates can be Sc
cured from the Canadian Government
Agents.
"The development throughout West
ern Canada during the next ten years
will probably exceed that of any other
country in the worlds history" is not
the statement of an optimistic Cana
dian from the banks of the Saskatche-
wan, but of Mr.. Leslie M. Shaw of
| New York, eX-Secretary of the United
States Treasury under the late Pres1-
dent Mckinley and President Roose-
velt and considered one of the ablest
financiers of the United States. Our
railway companies sold good deal
| of their land at from three to five dol
lars an acre, and now the owners are
selling the same land at from fifty to
seventy-five dollars, and buying more
up in Canada at from ten to fifteen"

school to which a painter belongs:

is realist. (3) If he paints the sky

Green Hats for Girls,

The olive green hats that have
topped the heads of young men the
first few days of fall have been taken
up with enthusiasm by young girls.
Some of these have the pheasant's
wing in the front just as it is worn in
the Alps. The hat is used by girls for
school wear in the same rakish way
of the summer panama.
1t looks very well with the first fall
coat suit, and is far more becoming
than the stiff or the floppy Corday.
