st. Cecilia and Music.
From the London Chronicle.

from the LOnCOn CnfOnlcle.
st Cecilia was made the ''patroness" of
church music without any apparent rea-
son. for the casual expression ''cantanti-
bus organis'' in her legend merely refers
to the playing of wind instruments at her
wedding. Possibly the antiphons of her
festival wrought upon the imagination OF
the middle ages. and so brought about
her connection with sacred music. The
anniversary of this young Roman prude
suddenly sprang into immense popularity
with us toward the close Of the seven
teenth century. and is associated with the
mighty names of Purcell. Dryden, Pope,
Addison and Handel. 1t has been revived

10000 AMERICAN SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA.
The Year 1905 Has Shown an In
crease of Over Eighty Per Cent
in American Settlement

The Year 1905 Has shown an In
crease of Over Eighty Per Cent
in American Settlement.
Recent advices from Canada, our
next door neighbor, the neighborly
country across the boundary line, are
that upwards of ninety thousand set
tiers from the United States went into
Western Canada during the past year,
most of them for the purpose of tax.
Ing up and settling upon the vacant
lands, $50 acres of which are given
free by the government and lands adj
joining held by railway and land COM
panies are selling at from nine to if
teen and twenty dollars per acre. Even
If thirty or forty dollars per acre were
paid, the price would then be low, as
the lands produce wonderfully, and at
these higher figures there is large
interest on the money and labor in
vested. The ninety thousand settlers
OF this year, followed about sixty thou
sand last year, and for several years
the figures have been running into
these large figures. There must be a
reason for 1t. 1t may be found in the
single phrase, They are satisfied"
Nothing attracts people more than the
success of others, and the news of this
reaching other thousands causes them
to investigate. The investigation in
this case is always satisfactory. The
splendid land Of Iowa, of Indiana. of
sin, Michigan, Ohio and other states
has risen to a high value, and it is
worth every dollar asked for it. But
there is not room now for all on these
lands. With the ever increasing de-
mand for grain there comes the ever
increasing demand for land. Canada
is the only country on the continent
in a position to supply it. Land there
that costs, say, SIS an acre, produces
on a reasonable calculation twenty
five bushels of wheat to the acre, or
about $40. The most liberal calcula-
ton as to cost makes the cost to pro-
duce $3.50 per acre, leaving a balance
of $3.50 per acre. The $3.50 carries
good wages for the farmer, and all
other conceivable contingencies. With
conditions like this, covering the en-
tire area of about 100000 square miles,
1t Is readily understood why 10000
Americans should follow the $4,000
last year. Canadian government agen-
cies at different points in the Union
are always ready to give information
regarding the free homestead lands,
ready to advise the settler as to the
districts which would suit him best.
