LIFE SAVING HUMMOckS.

Traffic Manager Vaughan OF the
Muskegon railway has presented an
interesting suggestion TO the state
highway commissioner Of Michigan.
He proposes that every highway
commissioner should place a hum
hook in every road about one hundred
and fifty feet from each railroad cross
ing-a "hummock' large enough so
that an automobile will be forced to
slow down in order to pass it convent
emily, and yet not so large as to do any
damage in case the careless driver
pays no heed.
There is much real philosophy in Mr..
Naughan's proposal. Its operation
would unquestionably give forcible
warning To the auto driver who at the
present time is complacently blind to
the stop, Look and Listen." signs
that already line the highways.

EUGENE REVlsITs PALACE.

The former Empress Eugene, now
IS years old, widow Of Napoleon ILL.,,
recently paid visit TO the scene Of her
former pomp and glory, the Palace of
Fontainebleu. The Imperial Court of
France often was in residence there,
and the magnificent pile and the Won
derful gardens, laid out by lie Notre,
must have evoked in the aged Empress,
who fled 10 England in 1870 after the
collapse of the Empire, many reminis-
cences OF the time when she was re-
nowned as the most beautiful woman
in Europe.
The Empress was conducted over the
palace by the curator NJ. des Parbes
She seemed keenly interested and not
little saddened at the many changes
which time and democratic rule had
wrought in the interior of the palace
"Oh!" she suddenly exclaimed TO one
OF her companions, that is my cas-
kct,' and pointed to a superbly carved
ivory box. NJ. dcs Parbes informed the
Empress that it was known as the
casket Of Anne of Austria"
That may be, was the reply, but
II was given TO me filled with gloves
and fans by the Emperor for my mar
riage."
The Empress then visited the apart
ment formerly used as the Imperial
dining room. Stopping before recess
she asked the curator what had he
come Of Benvenuto's painting of "Di-
ana which used TO hang there. He re-
piled that it was at the Louvre.
We'll, then, il ought to be returned

the gardens Of the palace she murmur-
ed rather sadly as she passed before

turned to the United States from Cam
ada. That is much better showing
from our standpoint. than that OF the
year before, when 1891 Americans To-
Gated in Canada, while SS.Sl7 returned
from that country To this.
For a number of years the emigra-
ton from this country TO Canada has
been matter of concern to our gov
eminent. Thousands of farmers, prin-
cipally from the middle west. attracted
by the promise Of cheap lands and
better conditions. sold their higher
priced lands i'm the states and moved
TO the Canadian Northwest. In con-
Quoting a campaign for settlers Of this
class, the Canadian government offer
ed inducements that We're especially
attractive. Its land laws were liberal;
il placed no obstacles in the way of
settlers, and. in fact. encouraged them
To build homes on the law land. II
the settler was without sufficient capt.
tai, the government would assist him
in the development OF his land. In any
event the man or woman who took up
land and lived on il was assured Of
patent in due time Under the impetus
OF this policy vast areas of new lands
We're peopled cities sprang up in a
country that was formerly a wilder
ness, and a period OF development was
entered into such as America had
never before seen on similar scale.
In recent years, however, the Cana
dian settler has discovered that all
that glitters is not gold. His crops
have not been all that he expected;
prosperity has been slow in manifest
ing itself. Cities and new towns were
overlooked, and when the collapse
came in some OF these places where
inflated values were the rule, the
farmers suffered in similar measure.
While the northwest territory is on
firm basis, it is fact that real estate
values have not been maintained; ov-
ar development has been followed by

Not unnaturally he may declare the

II was somewhat startling to the

The railroads had previously
