CONCERNING MEERSCHAUM

The valuable material from which
meerschaum pipes are made is con-
tinually getting scarcer and the large
industry which has f1ourished in vi
emma, Budapest, Nuremberg, Paris and
in the Thuringian town of Ruhla
seems endangered. The manufacture
of meerschaum pipes is much more
important than is generally supposed.
The town of Ruhla alone has been
exporting in round figures pipes to the
value of about $1,5OO,OOO annually.
The finest grade of meerschaum is
found near Eski-Schelir, in Anatolia,
Asia Minor, in a hollow which in early
days was a lake in which the meer-
schaum was precipitated. Meerschaum
is also found in other places, includ-
ing Thebes, Egypt, the Bosnia,s
mountains, in the neighborhood of
Grubschitz, and Nuendorff in Moravis,
and in some sections of Spain and
Portugal.

GANDER LIKE MARY'S LAMB

worth, of Montclair, N. j., like Mary's
lamb followed his mistress to school
the other day, and the presence of
the bird at the educational institu-
ton afforded the pupils an interesting
nature study subject.
Undecided, he managed to escape
and overlook his mistress on her way
to school after a few rapid flights
Kathleen has a record at the school
for good attendance, but with the
class hour only five minutes off and
Pete on her hands it looked as if she
might have one black mark checked
against her. The alternative was to
take Pete along, and this the girl did.
She explained the situation to her
teacher, and Pete was invited inside
the class room, and before studies
began he was put through many of
his tricks. The pupils would have
been delighted to have had Pete re-
main for the entire morning session,
but his presence would have been de-
moralizing to study, so the girl was
excused until she took her pet home

choice, Joseph Plummer of Milton, N.

The woman he loved is dead, but the
old man has not been told; in fact, he
refused to speak to her from the day
when ne said to his father: Since
you will not let me have her, l have
no other ambition and may as well
spend the rest Of my life in bed" Jo-
seph went to bed. He continued in
bed day after day, week after week.

his conduct waned and he became
more or less of an institution in Mil

both died. Now his two brothers,

REPATRlATED.
HE FAD $4,000 IN CASH IN 1908;
NOW WORTH 100000.

MY parents were originally Cana
dams from Essex County, Ontario.
was born in Monroe County, Michigan,
from which place moved to Red Lake
Falls. Minnesota, where l farmed for
90 years. | sold my farm there in the
summer of 1903 and in September OF
that year came to Canada with my
wife and eight children. I had about
$400 in cash, team of horses, COW, a
few sheep and some chickens. | took
up a quarter section of land near Jack
Fish Lake, Meota P. o. and later on
purchased for 100000 an adjoining
quarter section. 1 have now 4S head
of cattle, a number of horses, good
buildings and consider my holding is
worth at least $S,O0O00. My children
have raised from $500 to $500 worth
of garden truck each year since we
have been here. I have never had a
poor crop and have never had one
frosted. Ny wheat has averaged from
25 to 80 bushels per acre with one or
two years considerably more. My
oats have always yielded we'll up to so
bushels per acre and once or twice as
high as IS. My cattle have never been
stabbed in winter, and do not need it..
l consider that this country offers bet
ter opportunities for settlers than any
where l have ever been. 1 am sure
that almost any person can come here
and buy land at say $500 per acre
and pay for it in one crop. My ex-
perience is that if man farms his
land in the right way he is not likely
to have his crop frosted.
Most of the settlers in my district
are Americans and Canadians and l
know lots of them who came here with
little or no capital who are now do
ing. well, but do not know Of any who
have left through disappointment, or
becoming discouraged, have returned
to their former homes.
