No Feline Procliuities.

Senator Depew was asked by a re-
porter, as he was having his luggage
examined last month, if he had brought
any stories back from Europe.
The senator laughed n replied:

I heard an interesting thing about a
M0ntanan in Chester. Chester, you
know, is walled. Its wide walls, on
which you could drive a horse, are
famous. You can circle the town on
them.
But the Montanan knew nothing
about Chester. He had only arrived
in Liverpool that afternoon. And as
he finished his quaint dinner he said
to the waiter in the quaint Chester
inn: .
what is the best way for me to
amuse myself here for an hour or two
before bedtime2'
well, SIR said the waiter, its a
fine evening, the moon is full and L
think you'd find a stroll on the walls
most enjoyable
The Montanan ignorant of the pop
ular promenade upon the side Wits or
Chester, thought ne was being guyed.
He frowned al the waiter and said bit
terly:
what do you take me for? A tom
cat?'"

Caterpiliars for Food.

pm the Wide World Magazine.
The natives of the Upper Congo are
very fond of certain kinds of cater
pillars, gathered from the trees which
these insects frequent during the cater
pillar season. They assert that "Mita,'
as they call these edible c~aterpillars,
are very palatable when cooked in the
proper way. Several kinds are eaten,
ranging in size from small insects less
than two inches long-which form
clusters or nests in the branches of the
trees, and are therefore easily gathered
70 big, hairy monsters five or six
inches long and propcrtionate!y thick.
The way hat these latter are held In
the fingers and crawl over hands and
arms before being consigned to the
frying pan is anything but a pleasing
sight.

SILHOUETTES OF WEST ERN
CANADA.

The nan from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was well out OF
the C.. 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:
I'm a bit interested in this country
myself. Some of the men down home
got a few sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have a look at
them. Never been up in Canada be-
fore" tit is curious how these mid.
Western Americans pronounce the
name of the Dominion as If it was
"Can'dy"). but if it looks good we
will be up to stay next ran.
You see, it's like this" said the
man from Iowa, quite manifestly con
tinuing an argument that had been
going on in his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $40 or $50 an acre for it, and ev-
cry farm that's offered is snapped up.
In Saskatchewan we have just as good

a man can take up FIVE or six times as
much there as in Iowa on the same in.
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 0 n
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
dren 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 that buy the
farms they leave are kept together,
too. There won't be any slackening
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.
Why seek too closely to analyze the
reasons for the greatest land trek In
the history of America? 1t is enough to

Food Values.

She never heard of proteids
In all her simple days,
The mention of albumen
Would fill her with amaze,
OF carbohydrates she possessed
An ignorance complete.
And nitrates were an unknown thing
Completely off her beat.
But she could get a dinner up
Fulfilling every wish,
Including for husbands taste
Each pet especial dish,
And she could calculate what grub
Would soothe him for the shock
OF being asked to pony ny

The Bright Destiny of
The Deep Water CITY.

Here is an item which has been
going the rounds of the newspapers,
and is so true that The Journal wishes
its readers to scan it:
More towns die for want of conf
dence on the part of business men
and lack of public spirit than any
other cause, says a floating editorial
When a man in search Of a home or
business location goes into a town and
finds everything brim full of hope and
enthusiasm of the prospects OF the
place, and all earnestly at work to
build it up, he soon becomes imbued
with the same spirit, and as a result
he drives down stakes and goes to
work with the same interest.
We have not published this because
of the belief that the majority OF
PensaeoIa's people are lacking in
public spirit. Very far from that. A
decided optimism and resultant en-
thusiasm are noticeable in most Of the
population. But there are no cities
where d pessimistic class may not be
found, aud, of course, Pensacola is not
an exception to the rule.
Such people, we know, are not &C
tuated by any desire to damage a
community, but they most certainly
do. Their very timidity prevents the
employment of their highest activities
and is sure to depress others with
whom they come in contact. They
should set themselves to work to cure
themselves of such an unfortunate
habit-one which IS so clearly against
their own interests; for they must
tail or flourish along with the city
where they live.
In the case OF Pensacola there is
no excuse for the presence of a single
pessimistic soul within its limits.
Every well informed stranger who
visits the city is struck with its SPLEEN
did geographical situation, its fine
harbor, its vast possibilities and
prophesies for it a destiny of the
loftiest character. And, surely, If
strangers, after a visit of a few days.
though they be men of rare expe-
rience, penetration and judgment, are
thus impressed, the City's own people
even those most duh OF comprehen-
sion-should feel a still greater uplift
OF spirit and signify it with unqUali-
fed enthusiasm
A bold reliance on the future OF
Pensacola should be the universal
practice of the day. Those who
realize this and indulge their conf |
dence will not be deceived. The on
ward and upward progress of the city |
is as certain as the movement of the |
stars in their predestined orbits. Its |
opportunities are almost without a |
parallel and with an earnest, ardent, |
devoted citizenship these opportunities |
viii be taken the best advantage of |
and the result VIII prove one of SUI |
perlative development along every !
line that leads to civic growth and |
righteousness and wealth and power |
