SOME PECULIAR CLUBS

One of the oldest Of social CLUBS
ever established in London was the
Everlasting club, limited in member
ship to 100. The members divided
the day amongst them in such way
that there were always some members
present upon the club premises. the
club house was burned down at the
time OF the great fire of London, when
the only remaining member on the
premises was nearly burned to death
because he had refused to leave be-
fore he had emptied all the bottles on
the table. The fire for lighting the
members pipes was never allowed to
go out, an old woman being kept sole
ly for the purpose OF attending to II.
During the SO years of its existence
the members smoked so tons OF to-
bacco. drank 10000 butts of ale. 1000
pipes Of port, and 200 barrels OF
brandy, besides other drinks.
Another extraordinary club was the
Signing club, the members Of which
were supposed to be wholly ABSORBED
in thinking of their sweethearts. Each
would hold in his hand a bit OF rib
bon lock of hair, purse, or some
other article belonging TO the object
of his affections, and from time to
time he would address this in terms
of endearment. On initiation the
members had to compose and recite
a poem in honor of his lady, and at
the meetings a fine was imposed upon
the member who did not sigh i've
times within quarter of an hour.
The Surly club had its meeting
place near Billinsgate fish market, and
the membership was limited to cab
men, and watermen, who used to meet
once week to exercise the art OF
abusive language, in order that they
might not lose the reputation they had
gained. Any member found guilty of
courtesy or politeness was promptly
fined
A club limited to men who agreed
to stint themselves TO the utmost, In
order to increase their possessions,
was the Split-Farthing club. One
member Is reported to have had his
garments so darned that there was
not enough of the original material
left to show the texture. The mem
bers presented SO starved an appear
ance that it was said there was not
an ounce of fat among the lot.

pretty accurately from it's bones. But
only within recent years has it been
understood that Madagascar, original
ly a part of the mainland of Africa,
must have been separated therefrom

being that it developed fauna pecu-

were the roc and the tenrec, one long

PAMPERED PET DOGS

Gold-mounted tortoise-shell comb,
jeweled lookingglass, toothbrush, three
satin coats, three silk coats, two gold
embroidered coats for evening wear,
a set OF silver feeding spoons, a light
dust coat for motoring. gold mount
ed scent spray, two dozen neck rib
bons-these are few of the items In
the outfits of pet dogs Of wealthy So
ciety women. the animals being pro-
yided with every luxury.
In justice to lady fanciers, however
and women are among the most sue
cessful of dog keepers and breeders,
as will be evident from study OF the
prize awards in recent exhibitions-it
should be pointed out that they spend
large sums on the care OF their pets
for the simple reason that the latter
are in many cases worth hundreds or
dollars.
There are many women. howeyo".
who keep pet dogs, not for exhibition
purposes, but simply in order to lavish
on them the greater part OF their
thought and wealth. and 1t Is such
women who arouse indignation on &C
count OF their canine extravaganza.
There has just been opened in New
York. for instance, a large country
house which has been turned into a
/ toy dogs paradise, where society
women can send their pets for holi-
day or for the benefit of their health,
ie al Tot Of nd
women to attend to the daily toilet
of the dogs, which is TO small task,
for the tiny mouths must be washed
out, meals given. coats combed and
brushed and finally polished with q
square of white plush dipped in per-
fume. The paws receive as much at
tention as the fingernails Of lady OF
fashion, while the postman brings let
ters and gifts for the pets every day.
One little dog may get only pic
ture postcard, while another, perhaps,
will find box of sweets when ii has
broken into the package addressed to
it. One toy Pom" always gets Il box
of her mistress favorite flowers. In
deed, all kinds of foolishness are in
dulged in for the discomfort of the
dog and the private qualification Of its
mistress.
Paw-warmers, foot-muffs, goggles
for motoring. gold anklets, and private
breakfast and tea sets are among
other things in the outfit of the fash
ionable pet. who also has its AT
home" days and parties and a special
book In which the names of visiting
dogs are duly entered.
A recent case in the English law
courts revealed the fact that some
dogs live in coroneted kennels. while
miniature baths-beautiful little con-
trivances of white porcelain, with hot
and cold taps and waste pipe-are the
latest thing in fashionable dogland.

SUPERSTITIONS OF SAILORS

All sailors are superstitious. You
would find 1t difficult to convince them
that ill-luck does not cling to a vessel
whose name has been changed or that
craft whose name ends in IA does
not rest under an evil spell This is
the case regarding the Victoria, sunk
in the Mediterranean; the Stella, lost
off the Channel islands, the Arequipa,
ashore on the west coast of America;
the Cobra, destroyer, which broke
her back on her maiden voyage In
the North sea; and the Sardinia,
burned In harbor at Malta
Then sometimes it is a member OF
the crew to whom particularly evil
influence is attached; sometimes II is
q passenger. But If you want to see
a sailorman SILVER with superstition.
let there be some hitch in the solemn
ceremony of launching. 1t nearly
breaks the sailor boys heart.

slashed to the depth or the trimming
(about eight inches) aud tho lace
edging finishes the slash and extends
about the bottom OF the skirt.
The skirt is shaped In at the waist
line,- and no fullness is allowed about
the waist A bow of wash ribbon, in
pink or blue or pale yellow, or tan
CO. color is placed at the top Of the
slash
The second skirt is wide enough
TO dispense with a slash. II is finished
at the bottom with row on row of
Val. insertion in two patterns, and
two rows OF edging about the
bottom. A novelty in the way
OF using the insertion is pictured
in the medallions of embroidery with
the lace insertion sewed ABOUT them,
forming wheel of lace in the flounce
They are set in at intervals. They
cause an unevenness in the bottom of
the skirt, but be not disturbed there
by, il is a fashionable unevenness.
Between the lace wheels, small bows
OF wash ribbon are sewed. This dain-
~ fiounce is often further embellished
With short spray OF little chiffon
roses and leaves. The ribbons and
roses must be taken off when the skirt
is Numbered. No starch, by the way,
is to be used in these petticoats. Rib
bons are washed separately. AS for
chiffon flowers, they serve their brief
time and are discarded, unless one
manages to clean them with gaso-
line.
II is fascinating work to make up the
under-muslins OF today. The garments
are charming and the work easy to
do. Nearly all the sewing is done by
machine. JULIA BOTTOMlEY.

spray of feathers completes the hair
dress and is very stately affair.
Greek bands without the standing
feather would be excellent with this
couture.
The arrangement shown in the Sec
ond figure is entirely different in the
treatment OF the brow. In this the
hair is loosely waved and the brow
and temples covered. AS in the first
style the ears, except for glimpse of
the lobe, are quite covered.
The high hairdress is usually ac.
complished with puffs on top Of the
head, but in a new arrangement the
hair is waved and combed over
support. IL is parted at one side,
brought over the top Of the head and
the ends fastened under with a comb
at the opposite side. This new ar
rangement is required by many OF the
new hats which are shaped and posed
to show much OF the hair at one side.
An effective hair ornament OF en-
broidery and rhinestone, finished with
a standing feather finishes this
piquant couture. The style is smart
and suited to vivacious face 1t is
very generally becoming.
Women who have very gray or
white hair are considered most for
tunate this season; II is distinctly the
fashion. For them the most elaborate
of coiffures are designed, and these
have been so much admired that the
younger generation have threatened, to
introduce powdered hair for them
selves.

WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD ron
SUPPLY OF WORLDS FOOD
STUFFS.

The present demand for foodstuns
in all parts of the world, and the eA-
pense of producing it on high-prceu
lands. would make 1t seem that west
ern Canada came into evidence al tno
crucial period There is to be Iouhd

its millions of acres of land, eashy
cultivatable, highly productive, Access
sible to railways, and with uhexceheo
climatic conditions, the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are 700
great to be overlooked.
There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and in the course
of time the bubble was pricked ana
was burst But in no country mas tne
development been as great nor as
rapid, whether in city or in country,
as in western Canada.
The provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta have the larg-
est area of desirable lands on the
North American continent, and their
cultivation has just begun.
Even with q two hundred million
bushel wheat crop, less than eight
per cent. Of the land is under the
ploughs, four per cent. being in wheat.
Less than five years ago the wheat
crop was only 100000 bushels. 1t
is q simple calculation to estimate
that if four per cent. OF the available
cutivatable area produces something
over 20O,000,OOO bushels, what will Al
per cent produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 it was 49,149,
1900 being from the United States!
in 1906 it was 1S9, 064, of which $1,000
were Americans, and In 1913 it was
about 100000, of which about 100000
were Americans. But why have they
gone to Canada? The American farm
er is man of shrewd business in
stincts, just like his Canadian brother.
and when he finds that he can sell his
own farm at from 500 to 5000 per
acre and move into Canada and home
stead and pre.empt half a section for
hllhSCiA anu Sihiiioii ~ III GA hiS oSAo
who are adult and Of age upon lands
as rich and fertile as those he left,
and producing indeed several bushels
to the acre in excess of anything he
has ever known, it will take more
than an ordinary effort to prevent him
from making the change.
And then, too, there is the American
capital following the capital of Drawn,
muscle and sinew, following 1t SO as
to keep in touch with the Industrious
farmer with which IL has had dealings
for years back. This capital and the
capital of farming experience is no
small matter in the building up Of
country.
Nothing is said of the great mineral
and forest wealth, Of which but little
has been touched.
No country in the worlds history
has attracted to its borders larger
number Of settlers in SO short time,
or has attracted so much wealth in
period OF equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions so favorable as those that
exist in western Canada today.-Ad-

PETTIC0ATS FOR
COMING SPRING

THE same sheer materials-always
i little more sheer-the same reli-
able laces and the same dainty embroi-
deries enter into the composition of
undermuslins, as have been used for
many seasons. But there are certain
little new touches which make the up

For one thing, ribbon is used with

Democrats Had Their Meeting In the

Drizzling rain in the evening in

to move from the park to the court
house. The court room was filled,
and about 40 women wore in the
audience.
Governor Hodges made the prin-
cipal address and gave a plain mat
ter-of-fact talk filled with statistics
of the various boards and Officers
of the administration for the past
eighteen months. II found when ]
came into office" said he, that the
stubbs administration had used over
$500 900 of the money belonging to
my budget" He said this admins
tration was compelled to pay the
debts left by the Stubbs administra-
tion and to complete the buildings
that had been ordered but never
constructed, though taxes had been
levied for them and the money
spent.
He renewed his challenge to Cap
uer to meet him in debate on state
finances or to conduct newspaper
discussion and declared that his adl
ministration had been the most
economical in the history of the state
according to the results accomplish
ed. He paid some attention to the

the expenses Of the various institu'

mains in the treasury from the ap'
propriatiOns. The expenses OF the
