According to the arrangements of the
floor committee. the dancing was con-
fined to the section OF the room imme-
diately before the bandstand owing to
the large number CT promenaders Not
withstanding the strenuous efforts of the
committee. the dancers could make little

AS the evening progressed and people
began to leave, the dancers had more
room. and they very soon took advantage
of the entire floCr of the great pension
building. 1t was a beautiful picture as
the graceful couples, made dazzling by the
spangled gowns of the women. moved in
and out among the great columns on the
floor. from end to end of the big audi
torium.
Finding the dancing convenient and de-
llghtful, many dancers remained until
the final number. After the last dance

AN UNDER WATER FARM.

he began his unique experiment in
Wet farming. and as his 'puddles'

1900 annually he threw up his job as

Market Prices of Human Hair.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Buyers of human hair do a large
business in Belgium, Brittany, Holland,
Germany, Austria and even in Japan.
Agents are continually searching these
countries to obtain the best supplies,
consequently the market prices vary
widely. 1t is the girl of Brittany who
furnishes the greatest supply of hair
to the dealers.
The buying and selling arc conducted
chiefly at fairs, although much bar
gaining is done privately in the viii
lagos. The agent or cutter takes up
his quarters and displays a highly col
ored handkerchief tied to a walking
stick or fastened from one window to
another.
Women who are willing to sell their
hair are thus acquainted with the
agents whereabouts, and as payment
for their tresses may receive a piece
Of cloth or a gaudy petticoat worth,
perhaps, about two or three shillings
in English money-50 or IS cents. And
the agent would get anything from 500
to s2~00-according to the color, texture
and general beauty-for a pound of the
best hair.

sILHoUETTEs OF WEST ERR
CANADA.

The man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train vas we'll out OF
the G. N. R. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land. the bumper crop,
the system of summer following pur-
sued in the semi-arid districts, were
all discussed. and then, with a sort OF
apologize smile, the Iowa man said:
TN a bit interested in this country

got q few sections up here along this
line. and I'm going to have a look at
them. Never been up in Canada be-

vestment Of money.
1T isn't the money, though, that
brings most of Us up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough.
The invasion is a family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around US back home. They have to
leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the n~eighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with US, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill
Gren around US, on homesteads or
bought land. This makes it easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fami.
lies that come to Canada are kept to-
gether and the families tina buy the
farms they leave are kept together,
too. There won't be any sl%ackening
of the rush, either, for they still raise
big families back in Iowa"
One could almost see the mental
process of this typical American farm
er in defending a step that meant a
new flag. a new allegiance, a new land
and new associates. To abandon "Old
Glory and the Declaration of indie
pendence for a good thing In cheap
land would hardly be playing the
game, but to go out into Saskatche,
wan to keep the family together" was
another and a quite higher motive.

Simple Remedy That Anyone Can
Mt Home.
Most people are more or less subject
to coughs and colds. A simple remeoy
that will break up a cold quickly and
cure any cough that is durable is made
by mixing two ounces Of G~lycerine. a
half-ounce Of Virgin Oil of Pine com
pound pure and eight ounces OF pure
Whisky. You can get these in any good
drug store and easily mix them in a
large bottle. The mixture is highly
recommended by the Leach Chemical
