ism. 1t is just ordinary common
decency.
The girls would be glad to go to
good places if there were such. They
enjoy intensely the dances arranged
by the various social settlements.
Those places are always overcrowded,
and are always crying for more room.
Why may not the public school
buildings be used for the public? In
most of them there are excellent halls
which would make most desirable
dance halls. People are willing to
trust their daughters in public
school building Behind such build
ings stands the honor of the city;
nothing harmful could be allowed
there, and to the immigrants the hon
or of the American city means every
thing that is fine and beautiful and
helpful.
IF there were properly supervised
municipal dance halls there would be
a decided gain in the mental, moral
and physical equipment of the boys
and girls

about half an hour before Il reaches
one, and as it approaches the foam
looks like a white line extending
across the bay. In places where the
tide dashes on the sand flats one can
see how the bore in its rage at these
opposing distractions filings up the
mud in huge black masses twenty feet
high On it comes, making a peculiar
dun roar which is awesome and i'm
presses one with a sense of great
force. The highest part is in the CEN
ter of the river, where it is about ten
feet high. whereas near the wall ON
the shore it is only about six feet
high. The bore has a s1oping front,
and this is agitated into foam extend
ing a long way behind. Behind the
bore there is no declivity but conttn-
uOusly increasing depth of water, aud
within a quarter of an hour after the
passing of the bore the tide is about
fourteen feet high. and in three hours
reaches its maximum of nineteen feet.
This huge volume of water only takes
three hours to fill the estuary, and is
then nine hours running out in a
strong current. This strong outgoing
current is actually running at the time
the bore arrives and impinges against
the bore. and SO forms the curved APP

losing its height and strength.
A remarkable point is that the coun-

is two to six feet below high-water
mark. and the Chinese in ancient
times built a huge embankruent to

The HOME LIFE OF The
SETTLER
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS ALL
THE COMFORTS AND MANY OF
THE: LCxURIES.

A young lady of Wisconsin secured
certificate at the Milwaukee. ctfice
of the Canadian Government, and on
presenting this to the ticket agent of
the railway at the Canadian boundary
line she secured a ticket at r, duced
rate which carried her tc Edmonton,
Alberta, from which point, about for
ty miles, she had friends. This was
couple of years ago, and the young
lady is now married to one of the
promising young farmers of the dis
trict.
In writing of her trip to the Mil
waukee representatives of the Cana
dian Government she says: Il enjoyed
my trip up here very much, and ex-
pect to go out to our homestead in
the Pembina district next spring" To
the housewife the information that
she.ha put up twelve quarts OF rasp-
berries" is important, as they picked
them themselves" and they might
have picked ten times the quantity if
they had required them. for there is
no country where wild fruit grows in
such abundance. The letter goes on
TO say. and this is interesting from a
woman's standpoint, the country is
very beautiful" Speaking of the
friends with whom she went up to
live, she says; They certainly have
a beautiful farm and house"-they
had been there about four years, also
going from Wisconsin-"they have
about twenty acres of oats and bar
ley, five acres alfalfa, three acres po-
tatoes and / don't know how many of
vegetables. | think they have about
forty acres under cultivation altogeth-
er. They are now draining a slough
which they will afterwards pillow and
put into fall wheat. They also have
a large herd of cattle, and Mrs. G.
has about 100 chickens They make
on an average OF so pounds of butter
every week. never saw such grand
cream"
Now these people are enjoying life
in Alberta; they have splendid eli
mate, excellent prospects, and are
happy that they are part and parcel
in the working out OF the upbuildins
of new country, that will take its
place amongst the progressive cour-
tries of the century. Numbers of let
tiers that express satisfaction as ex-
IRENE as the one quoted appear in
literature sent out by the Canadian
Government and which may be had
on application to any of its agents.

on the buttress to enable the local Off
