TRYING NEW BAGGAGE CHECK
Device Is Expected Materially to
Lessen the Number Of Errors and
Complaints.

A new baggage check that Is expect
ed to lessen the number of errors and
complaints has just been placed into
the service of a prominent eastern
railroad.
The duplicate portion of the new
check is provided with spaces, in
which are printed a number of the
principal bad order" edition in which
baggage is frequently received for
checking. A check, on being deliver
ed to the passenger, will be perforated
to show whether the piece of baggage
is a trunk, suit case of valise, fiber
case u tool chest. Another p%erfora-
ton will show the condition in which
the baggage was received at the Of
flee. In this way the duplicate check
will contain a full description of the
baggage when it was brought to the
company for shipment.
The number on the tag portion is
placed at the bottom, while on the du-
plilcate portion 1t is printed at the
top, so that the two can be easily
matched when the baggage is deliv-
cred.
1t is expected that the new check
will minimize the matching of num-
bers wrongly and will greatly reduce
the number Of claims.-Trade and
Transportation.

Bread important French Dirt

1t is necessary to note that bread
occupies a much more important
place in the dietary of the French CD
erative and peasant than among work
ing people in the United States. Here
prepared cereals and homemade
breads are rather the exception, and
the local pain de MENACE occupies a
leading place at every meal. The or

tons, often caused by poor means of
communication between the famine
districts and others where grain was
abundant, seems still to have it's effect

for bread at a low price under
all circumstances.

Baby'S Future Clear,

Samuel A. Thompson, secretary OF
the Rivers and Harbors
while lecturing before the fruit and
produce exchange, told the following
anecdote:
Among a certain people," he said
ut used to be the custom to test the
future of a baby by placing before
him a coin. a Bible, a piece of cloth
and several other articles. The ar
ticle which the baby grabbed was sup
posed to indicate it's future calling.
Thus, II he grabbed the Bible he
would be a preacher, II the money he
would be a business man, If the cloth
a tailor. etc.
Once, when a proud father was try
ing out this test the baby snatched the
Bible in n hand, the coin in the 9th
er, the piece OF cloth in his teeth and
began to try to gather in all the rest
with his arms.
"'Mein Gott.' cried the man, he
grabs everything in sight. He's going
to be a railroad man.'"-Boston Trav-
eler.

PREPARING FOR
NEW SETTLERS
EXTENDING THE AGRICULTURAL
AREA IN WESTERN CANADA.

For sometime past the Canadian
government has had surveyors at
work plating new areas for the ac
commodation of the largely increas-
ing number Of settlers coming in to
occupy the agricultural districts of
the three prairie provinces. There
were those connected with the work
of securing settlers for western Can
ada Who last spring p%rophesied that
there would be a. many as Us, 600
new settlers from the United States
to Canada during the present year,
and there were those who doubted
that the previous years figures Of
$4,000 could be increased. Recent
computation made by the officials of
the immigration branch at Ottawa
show that the largest estimates made
by officials will be beaten and that
the 100000 mark from the United
States will be reached. AS great an
increase will be shown in the figures
or those who will reach Canada from
other countries this year. The re-
suits of the years work in Canadian
immigration will give upward Of a
total of 100000 souls.
But this is not to be wondered at
when it is realized what is offering in
the three prairie provinces and also
In the coast province of British Co.
lumbla which is also bidding strong
ly and successfully, too, for a certain
class of settler, the settler who
wishes to go into mixed farming or
fruit raising. When the central por-
ton of this province is opened I'D by
the railway now being constructed
there will be large areas of splendid
land available for the settler.
Reference has frequently been made
OF late by those interested in develop
ing the American west to the large
numbers who are going to Canada,
high officials in some of the RAILWAYS
being amongst the number to give
voice to the fact. The more these
facts become known the more will
people seek the reasons and these
are best given when one reads what
prominent people say of it. What the
farmer thinks of it and what his
friends say Of it. James A. F1aherty,
supreme knight of the Knights of Co
