SEEDING IN 'PROGRESS IN WEST-
ERN CANADA.
*
Mild Weather Is Bringing Tkcurands
of Settlers.
The splendid yields of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers
of Western Canada and the excellent
prices’ received for the same', have
been the means of giving an Increased
interest throughout the United States.
As a result the Inquiries made of the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad com-
panies are putting on increased qar-
rying capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying passen-
gers and freight. Everything points
to a most prosperous year. There is
room for hundreds of thousands ad-
ditional settlers, much new land hav-
ing been opened up for settlement
this year.
It is quite .interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled In West-
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number it
is surprising how few thero are who
•have not succeeded. An extract from
a letter written by Mr. Geo. M. Gris-
wold of Red Deer, Alta., formerly of
Grever, Montuna, written on the 2nd
nt January is as follows:
"I am located X'fc miles from -a
beautiful lake 10 miles .long, where
there is church, school, 3 stores,
creamery and two postofflees. The
fhie stock, both cattle (cows and
steers) horses, hogs and sheep are
rolling fat, grazing in pasture to-day,
just a little snow, hardly enough for
pood sleighing, as we just had a Chi-
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture. Thero
ere tine wheat, oats, barley and flax
raised here. al»r> winter .wheat and
•timothy hay for export to British Co-
lumbia. This is a mixed farming
and dairy country. This is the right
lime to get a foothold in the Canadian
West, as it was some years ago in the
United States. We are free from
wind gumbo and-alkali here and have
flue, clear soft well and spring water
at a depth of from 5 to 25 feet, and.
lots of open everflowing springs.”
Telegraphic advices from Medicine
lint say that seeding has commenced
lit Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and other
points. At the former place the tem-
perature moderated gradually until on
Ihe 10th the maximum was 45 and the
minimum. 25.. Thermometer readings
■nee then have been as follows:

Foreigners in China buy nearly
everything on credit, giving signer
"chits" for every purchase, the reason
being their unwillingness to load
themselves down with silver or native
coin, while pap^r money fluctuates’toe
much.

Physician Declares There Is Peril In
Playing With Pets.
“Tho utmost care should be exer-
ciser1 jn mingling with animals of all
species. Under no circumstances
should one allow a dog to lick his
hand, ns the tongue of the animal is
infested with innumerable parasites
and hydrophobia and other diseases
may be transmitted in this manner,”
Dr. John M. Dodson of Rush Medical
college gave this warning in the
course of a lecture on "Animal Para-
sites" before the Chicago Medical So-
ciety.
The lecturer has made an exhaus-
tive study of his subject. He made
the statement that trichina was found
in 2 per. cent of the hogs. It ts due
to the carelessness with which they
were raised, he' said, .and even rook-
ing does not always kill the parasite.
It was declared that a ham that was
infected and boiled for ten or twelve
hours would still be unfit to eat, as
the heat at the bone would not be
greater than 180 Fahrenheit, which
was not sufficient to ‘destroy the
germ.
“The mosquito must' be guarded
against," continued the lecturer, “as
it has been shown that they spread
the germ of malaria and yellow
fever.” In conclusion, the lecturer
advised cleanliness in all things as a
preventive of disease from animal
parasites.
Latin Now Little Used.
Latin has been the language of civil-
ization since before the Christian era,
and contains about all the intellectual
treasures of the world till the six-
teenth centtiry. For a thousand years
nearly all who wrote had to write in
Latin to get readers, and nearly all
who read had to learn it in order to
know what was written. Before the
Latin, the Greek was the principal
language of civilization, which grad-
ually passed Into the modern Greek,
while the .Latin passed into the Italian,
French and Spanish, forking into three
principal branches. It ceased to be a
spoken language in the seventh cen-
tury. In modern times our great lan-
guages have sprung up (largely de-
rived from the Latin)—namely; the
German, French, English and Russian,
which now contain .the world's intel-
lectual treasures, so that there is noth-
ing more written in Latin or Greek
and about all that is valuable is trans-
lated into modern languages. Latin
and Greek are still indispensable to
specialists In history and archaeology,
but are each year becoming less so to
others.
Admiration Disgusted Gorky.
Maxim Gorky went to the theater at
Moscow one evening to see a play by a
popular writer. Instead of paying at-
tention to the stage the entire audi-
ence rose and greeted Gorky with pro-
digious acclamation.- .Then he deliv-
ered this address: “What on earth
are you staring at me for? I am not a
dancing girl nor the Venus of Milo nor
a drunkard just picked out of the riv-
er. I write stories; they have the luck
to please you, and I am glad of it. But
that is no reason that you should keep
on staring. We have come here te see
a charming play. Be good enough to
attend to that and leave me alone.”
More delighted than ever, the audi-
ence shouted with joy. Gorky jumped
out of his seat and left the theater in
disgust. ’
Knew Her Cook Book, Anyway.
An East Side settlement teacher
was trying to develop tho idea of the
fraction % with a primary class.
“Now, children,” she said, “if a
woman has six eggs and takes three
of them to make a cake, what part
does she use?”
Thero was a puzzled silence on tho
part of tho little class. Finally, a
small, girl, with a look of half-convic-
tion, raised a timid hand.
“Ah, I thought Jennie would know,”
Bald tho terfeher. “Well, what part
would she use, Jennie?” .
“I think she would use the yolks,”
ventured tho young hopeful.—Now

FACE LIKE RAW BEEF.
Burning Up With a Terrible Itching
Eczema—Speedily Cured by
Cuticura.
“Cuticura cured me of a terrible
eczema Rom which I had suffered
agony and pain for eight years, being
unable to_ obtain any help from the
best dbetors. My scalp was covered
with scabs and my face was like a
piece of raw beef, my eyebrows and
lashes were falling out, and I felt as
if burning up from the terrible itching
and pain. Cuticura gave me relief the
very first day, and made a complete
cure in a short time. My head and
face-are now clear and well. (Signed)

Until the reign of Edward I. of Eng-

easily parted into two for halfpence,
and into four for farthings.
