All Up and At It.
From the Christian Herald.

Now, come and see a harvest In
S%hantung. Here, too. it is the time of
supreme interest to the whole family.
Life in the country is practically
measured by so many wheat harvests,
and every old man and woman hopes
to live to see one more. For weeks
before all plans are made with refer
ence to it. Carpentry, masonry. work
Of every kind must either be finished
before pulling wheat time" or laid
aside at that time to wait till the har-
vest is over. No matter how impor-
tant, in the eyes Of a foreign resident,
the work in hand may become, he can
not beg or buy his workmen to con-
tinue when once the wheat is ripe. In
the hospitals all the patients want to
get we'll by wheat pulling time. Some
must stay on. but many a one, incapac-
itated in hand or foot for real work,
goes home to take his or her place in
watching the GATE that all the rest
Of the family may go to the field and

A Legacy of 1915.
From the Kansas City Star

The crisis in Italy is a Legacy of an
event OF a century ago. The congress of
Vienna in 1915, dominated by Austria, left
the Italian peninsula in a state of unstable
equilibrium which still exists.
From st. Helena Napoleon wrote: Italy,
isolated between her natural limits. is
ton. Italy is one nation, unity Of language,
customs and literature must, within a per
100 more or less distant, unite her in habi-
Rome will, without the slightest doubt.
tai" - A'a as 'he'r CAPT
Yet the eminent gentlemen who con-
trolled the congress Of Vienna saw moth
ing Of this. They did not even attempt a
loose confederation. Italy was divided
into 10 states. each one too small to have
domination of Austria. That monarchy
was given outright the richest part of the
VALLEY of the Pc; Austrian princes and
kingdoms Of northern Italy and the king
or Naples was induced to make an alliance
with Vienna that made his kingdom o sub
sidiary province.
For nearly a half century this condition
continued, with Italy only a name, and
with Italian virtually ruled by Austria.

lines. In a two months campaign, with

Hard Job of a Baronet.

"Once a baronet always "a baronet," re-

Old Collocuialisns.

From the Baltimore News.

pithy phrases which they did not fail to

word i,pernifsety" used by one won1an
was a little %snappish and particular about
trifies. "~Pernickety" disappeared with
hundreds of other words about the time

England. How much more expressive. it
is than the normal school teachers equiv

Mrs. Stowe had a full command of
these expressive folk words, and her Sam
Lawson used them with excellent effect;
Rose Terry Cooke was a pastmistress of
New England c%olloquialisms and never
failed to appropriate one that she heard;

which. indeed, was his mother tongue.
But modern writer's who try to put on

spirit of ~vernacular speech. They make

bring in oddities, some Of which may be
funny, but are entirely forced and UNI
natural. The bad example was set by
Bret Harte, whose Californians' talk in
a dialect never used by frontiersmen. be-
cause plainsmen are never affected in
language. Our own Mark Twain followed
Bret Harte in this regard, though his
dialec Is far more like human speech.
To return to the point, it seems a pity

Tho Port of Prince Ru,ert.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The further north one goes the less
is the distance asst and west across
the continents and across oceans. This
we'll known fact largely accounts for
the Grand Trunk railway and it's far
north Pacific coast terminal at Prince
Rupert, just south of the panhandle Of
Alaska. To plan and build a city with
a free hand is a privilege that seldom
fails to the lot Of a man. Gary is one
respect. When William r. Donnelly,
consulting engineer of New York city,
was intrusted with the future Prince
Rupert. Il similar opportunity was his
and the following brief description Is
of his city now In the making.
After careful survey it was decided
that the city should be located on the
point is about 600 miles removed from
any source of supply, the miles removed
any source of supply, the necess-
sity Of complete independence as re-
CARDS outside help, both now and in
the future, is at once apparent. Build
on that plan, the present terminal con-
%struction started with complete ma
chine shops provided with heavy ma
chinery of all types. Following this
was the boiler and blacksmtthing shop,
administration building complete steam
electric w station OF 5000 horse
power capacity. ship building shed,
launching platform and all the numer-
Gus minor buildings. etc. needed to
complete such an installation.
That the city Of Prince Rupert will
grow rapidly as soon as this new line
makes itself felt is an assured fact.
That this line and port will make ac-
tive bid for the vast wheat tonnage of
central Canada is certain. In only one
section are grades of ! per cent en-
countered, while over most of the line
five-eights Of ] per cent or less are
shown. Add to this a 50o-mile advan-
tage in distance to Japan Claimed by
the Grand Trunk officials as against
any other Pacific coast port), with
the added advantage of shorter haul
across the continent. n we will see
some Of the why of Prince Rupert.
The history of Prince Rupert, however,
lies almost wholly in the future, and
he present interest in the port Is
largely u to the novel conditions r
rounding its birth and growth.

Demand for Goods Here Great

ufacturer Declares.

silk manufacturers will get the high
est prices this year they have ever re-
ceived in this city since 1901 This IRE
aiction was made last week by Nice
town silk mill official. and his statement

According to this man, there is nov
no marked scarcity Of silk, with the
possible exception OF the finest grades
OF Venetian cloth, and al the same time
the manufacturers are getting excellent
prices.
The demand for silk goods in this
country is now at the highest point II
has ever reached. That demand has
been intensified by slight scarcity IN
woolen materials. for which men and
women are finding substitutes In the
more expensive silk.
Japan is rushing great quantities OF
