Edmonton will increase as rapidly in
the future as it has in the past, until
it becomes large city We were de-
lightfully entertained by the people
of this city. After a splendid lunch
con at the Alberta Hotel, automobiles
and carriages were in waiting to take
US about the city, giving us an oppor-
tunity to see the buildings and places
above noted. One point of special in
terest was the old trading post of the
Hudson Bay Company. one of the
landmarks of western Canada. Re-
turning, the gentlemen were pleasant

We passed through rough, unsettled
country south of Edmonton, noticing
here and there stretch of improved

quaker asp and pine timber, until we
came to Lacome, a live little town.
near which is located the experiment

possibilities of that section. Passing
ON we ran to Red Deer, an up-to-date
town of 1900 people situated midway
between Edmonton and Calgary,
where we staid about four hours. We
were met at the station by the citi-
zens and the band, and after drive
through the adjacent country and
through some fine wheat fields, the
party did full Justice to dinner
served by the citizens at the hall,
which was decorated with Canadian

The country south to Calgary is
mainly ranching land, and here we
passed many large horse and cattle
ranches. it being our first glimpse of
herds of a thousand and more horses
or cattle running wild over the hills.
At Bowden, a small station, we
caught the first sight of the Canadian
Rocky Mountains, huge ragged peaks
piercing the sky over seventy miles to
the west of us, and late in the after
noon arrived at Calgary. one OF the
older cities of wesern Canada, and the
metropolis of this territory.

Birds and Their Homes.

t "Queer Bird Homes' is the title of an article published recently in Ger many by Harry Maas, ornithologist, in which many instances are cited to show that the tastes of birds as to their habitations vary A swallows nest under the caves of railway passen- ger coach he speaks of as most pecu- liar Not so much because it was a car. but because this particular one made daily trips between two places. Being on the move about half the time, it was hard to say when the swallows were flying homeward. The nest remained undisturbed, and little family of three finally emerged from it. He quotes from "KosmOs," in which a nobleman relates that for twelve years a goldfinch pair came regularly to his garden and built a nest out of forget-me-nOts ThI habit of the birds was so well known that a bed of the little flowers was cultivated expressly for them. In the historical museum of Soletta, a city in which matchmaking is the chief industry, there is a birds nest made of watch springs. It was discovered in a tree. where it had been built by wagtail pair. The little feathered architects used the metal for the outside and to hold the soft lining.

was a clever one, too, and bitter. Every point of Gen. Grants career which might be considered vulner- able was very skillfully attacked. The fact that he had taken gifts and that it was suspected he desired a third term were preyed upon. Yes; MT. Johnson did what he had intended to do, had been intending to do ever since he left the White House. He was the best hater I ever knew.
 He went back home at the end of the session, and then to visit his daughter, Mrs. StOver, in Eastern Tennessee. There, given up to the family associations he clung to, and with the grandchildren he loved, he was stricken suddenly with paralysis, and July 31, 1875, he died. It seemed as if, with his speech against Presi- dent Grant, some spring of action which had kept him fighting broke. The rest was peace.

Russia's Latest Move.

Russia is busily engaged in laying @ double track on it's great Siberian rail- way That fact is of peculiar interst to Japan. Does the czar want to null tiply by two the capacity of that rail- way to the Pacific just to reach win ter harbOr at VladivostOk, now that Port Arthur and warm water have been cut off? The Great Bear never moves backward. It may be halted in its progress. but it is the most patient of all governments. This quiet reach ing out again with a second hand across Siberia and the huge fund of money that is to be raised may have a deeper significance for Japan and Manchuria than now seems evident. Russias eyes are still toward the Pa cific. Of that there can be no possible doubt And while they remain fixed there, and while France is willing to renew it's task as the banker for the czar. Japan will have enough to do looking after it's recently acquired ter ritOry on the mainland of Asia. In other words, Russia's attitude helps to preserve the balance in the far east. and it will prevent Japan from becom- ing restive in other directions.-From the Philadelphia Press.
