but who have been given modern uni

enemy last night at Birmingham juno
ton only seven miles north of Tore
on. Other columns were 10, % and
even more miles away, but all were
reported in motion along the route
opened by the vanguard, in the direc-

Before leaving for the front Gen
eral Villa said he doubted whether the
federals would make further resistance

takes place, although there were ru-
mors that the enemy would make a
show of resistance at Gomez Palacio,

ON EGYPrS FAMOUS RIVER
Sailing on Its Placid Waters RowerS
WeIrdIy Chant as They Tug
at Their oars.

As we sat on deck, beneath the min
arets Of the mosque, the skies slowly
turned from orange to lilac and purple
Of night, throwing strange pink light
over the city's buildings. Archie Bell
writes In the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The mimosa trees and date palms be-
came black and great white cranes,
seemingly knowing that their wings
had an appropriate background, cir
cled over our heads, over the deep
azure river and over the many white
sailed dehabeahs that were floating
along In the breezeless night, propelled
by rowers who were chanting weirdly
as they tugged at the oars.
Dimly, we could see the black draped
figures OF numberless women approach
the rivers brink and we knew that the
splashes in the water we're caused by
the dropping of their heavy Jugs,
which they twirl around till they are
filed, after which they raise them
laboriously to their heads and then
skip up the banks and disappear in
| the darkness of the night.
The sounds of the city ceased and
all was quiet. All but the plaintive
lay Of piper who must have been
somewhere not far of on the bank oi

ing the love song Of Larbi Of BEN
Mora. 1t was monotonous and drowsy
and invoked sleep. In the morning
before dawn heard the boys pulling
the stake near my window. had
fallen asleep to native music and now
l was awakened by their song. As
we started up the river, the clarion
call of the muezzin rang out from the
minaret. For good Mohammedans II
meant that a new day had begun-but
for infidel Americans, there were sew
eral additional hours Of sleep.

FRENCH LEGION OF HONOR
HIghly-Prized Decoration Which Every
Son Of France Has the Ambi-
tion to Receive.

The first decorations of the Legion
of Honor, the famous French order Of
merit, were conferred in 1902 upon
military and civil officers who had dis
tinguished themselves under the con-
sulate. The order was founded May
10, 1902. by Napoleon. when he was
first consul. 1t consisted of various
grades, as grand crosses, grand Off
GERS. commanding officers and legion
aries, and was reward for services
of merit. The order was confirmed by
Louis XVIII when the Bourbons were
returned to the throne a century ago,
and 1t has been continued, with neces-
sary changes in the constitution,
through the reigns of Charles x, Louis
Philippe, Napoleon III, and the second
and third republics. Many Americans
and British subjects and other for
eigners have received the decorations
Of the Legion of Honor.

orloln Of VISITING Cards.

Some authorities hold that the or.
igin of the visiting card lay in the cir.
cumstance that, when Pericles first
laid siege to the heart Of Aspasia, he
sent her bouquet to which. fearful
lest she might not guess from whom
the compliment proceeded. he caused
to be attached a strip of wood wherein
his name was cut.
According to Bertarelli. who, among
others, has been at much pains to com
pile the history of the card. 1t is diff
cult to say whether 1t was first used
in Greece or In China. However that
may be, 1t seems to be an ascertained
fact that the visiting card did not real
" obtain to any extent in Europe un
til the time of Louis.

WESTERN CANADA'S
NATURAL RESOURCES
PETROLEUM, NATURAL GAS, COAL
AND FARM LANDS.

The developments that have taken
place recently in the oil and gas fields
Of Western Canada have but added
another to the many previous evil
dences that have been produced,
showing the great wealth that has
been an unknown asset for so many
generations.
The latest reports from the oil
fields at Calgary show that there is a
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time. 1t is said that
one Of the wells Is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour. II this is so
there are but about a dozen wells in
the world Of greater production. Dur.
Ing the past week discoveries OF sur
face indications have been made which
show that oil exists over a consider
able portion Of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, while in Manitoba there have al
so been showiHgs. At Battleford,
Saskatchewan, a few days ago discov'
cries were made which led to the fl
ing for leases on twenty thousand
acres Of land, all having strong sur
face indications. Companies were
formed to carry on immediate work
and in a couple Of months. or probably
less, the story will be told whether oil
exists in paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
and the natural gas deposits that are
helping to make Of Western Canada
one of the wealthiest portions of the
continent.
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches it is no wonder that Q
continued range Of optimism is to be
seen everywhere. Early reports oi
seeding of all grains being successful
ly completed all over the country are
followed by reports Of excellent and
strong growth everywhere. During
the first week in June most of the
wheat had reached a growth of from
twelve to twenty inches. with the most
even appearance, almost universally
tnat mas been seen for years. Oats
appeared equally well, and covered the
ground in a way that brought th'
broadcast kind of grin to overspreat
the farmers countenance.
Barley, a favorite with the hog rails
ers, had taken good root, and wal
crowding oats for a first place, as t
length Of shoot. Cultivated fodder
grasses are getting great attention
as a consequence Of the inclination t
go more largely into mixed farming
and the raising of hogs, cattle Rnt
horses. The weather is reported fine
Just what is needed, and II presen
favorable conditions continue, th'
grain crop of Western Canada for 1871
will be the largest average in the his
tory Of the country.-Advertisement
