John Spencer of Dulutb, has brought back with hira from Ceylon one of the most curious presents In the world. -"Hiding on an elephant," he 6&ld the oilier day, "behind a native prlneo on a hunting expedition, the conversation chanced to turn on Indigestion, to which 1 said I was subject. The prince at once pulled out a black leather button kind of tblnir, which he was wearing on a tring round his neck, tinder bis clothes, 'What's that?' said I. 'A hy ena's snout,' was the startling reply. What for?" To cure Indigestion." 'How can it do thisT "It Is very simple. A byena gets Its living by digging up and crunching old bones. Now, it pos sesses In its snout this peculiar virtue, that when its nose approaches any thing hard, such as bones, those tough ubst-ances Instantly grow soft and enable the animal to eat them with comfort and benefit So you will find if you keep this charm hanging round your neck the proximity of the hyena's nose, though dried up and lifeless, will often your food, however Indigestible, to such an extent that you will never .gain suffer from indigestion.'" Educating Newsboys. Boston has an association of news boys which has begun to establish a fund for educating at Harvard one or more among them, and has raised al ready $2,000 toward the necessary amount. This lively association, says Collier's Weekly, has already been ad dressed by President Eliot more than once, and Its latest step shows how full of high ambition these boys are. There could be, we gratefully believe, no more sterling proof of opportunity and of character In America than these self-supporting youths now give. In what other nation would a boy born In poverty, earning each day Ms food and bed, set out cheerfuly to pass the examinations of a great scat of learn ing, and, once in, to master to the full Its manifold weapons for adding to the conquests of his life? Criticise It bow we will, and should, we may well glow always for our land of the free. Now, as ever, since the pioneer's ax fought Its battle with the wilderness, is it the home of Opportunity and of her daugh ter, Hope. An ambassador ot a well-known Eu ropean monarch was riding in the streets of Constantinople when one of the sultan's carriages rolled by. See ing It was guarded, his curiosity got the better of him, and when the car riage reached him ho was daring enough to jeep in at the passenger. He was surprised and pained to re ceive a blow In the face from an at tendant in charge. Mad with rage, lie demanded audience of the sultan. The sultan listened attentively, and for m moment appeared lost In thought. At last he spoke: "My dear , I nave gone carefully Into the case, and see exactly how it stands. You ere. of course, a gentleman, therefore you 'would never have committed smb. a breach of good manners as you allege to have taken place. Therefore no afcendunt could possibly have strut k you.

The Quality ef No. 1 Hard Wheat Cannot Be Beaten. The Canadian Wejt la the past Ave or ten years has given a set back to tho theory that largo cities are the barkbono o' a country and a nation's best asset Here we have a country where no city exceeds 100.000, and where only erne comes within ea.y distance of thnt finuro according to tho census just taken and where nc other city reaches a population ex ceeding 15.000. The places with a population over COOT can be counted upon tho finders of one hand, and yet the prcperity that prevails Is some thing unprecedented In the history ol all countries past or present. The reason for this marvelous prosperity Is not hard to seek. The largo mujority of tho 10.G'0 people who Inhabit Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta, have gone on to the farm, and have betaken themselves to tho t.xsk of not only feeding and clothing ! themselves, but of raising food for ethers less happily circumstanced. Tho crop of 1'JuO, slthouKh not ab normal. Is an eye-opener to many who previously had given little thought to the subject. Ninety million bushels of wheat at 70 cents per bushel '',3.0.Ki,. 000; 70,000,000 buohels of oa; at 20 Cents per bushel $22,SOO.OOd; 17.000, OOd bushels of barley at 40 cents per bushel $000,000; makes a total of I'jl'.COo noo. This Is altogether outsldo the root products; dairy produce, ssd the returns from the cattle trade; the beet suftar Industry and the various other by products of mixed farming. When .such returns are obtainable, from the soil It Is not to bo wondered at that many are leaving the congest ed district of the enyst, to take upoa themselves Ihe life of the prairie farm and tho labor of tho housban Iman. With the construction of additional railroads new avenues, f o agricultur al enterprise are opening up, and Im proved opportunities are offered to the settler who understand prairie farm ing, and I willing to do his part In building up the new country. This U the theme tht Mr. J. J. Jllll, the veteran railroad builder In the West, has laid before the people In a series of addreiocs which he tiss given at various point during tho past few months, and, having been for so long Identified with the devel opment of the Went, there are few tnen better uai:r!cd than he to ex press an opinion upon It. Tako cure of the country, says he, and the cities will take csre of themselves. Tho farmers of the Western Etste and the Canadian West, are more prosperous than ever before, and when It comes to measuring up re sults, tho Canadian appears to have somewhat tho better of It. Ills land Is cheaper in fact, the government continues to give free homestead to settlers, and tho return per acre are heavier when the crop Is harvested. Farming land In the Western States run from $00 to f ISO an acre and up. whereas eaually good soli may bo pur chased In Canada for K to $15 per acre, within cay reach cf a shipping point, and llnnU of this Is availahlo for free homcsteadlng. The quality ot Iho Canadian No. 1 hard wheat can not bo beaten, and tho returns to the aero aro several bushels better than en this tide of the line; Iho soil ami climate of that country being peculiar ly adapted to wheat rrowlng. The fact Is evidently appreciated by the largo number of American farmers who have In the past two or three years settled In the Canadian West. The agents of tho Canadian Government,- whose address will be found elsewhere, advise u that for the fiscal year 1901 5. the records show that tll.Gtl Ameilcan settled la Canada, and lu l!u5tl the number reached &7,7'J'5. From all of whi, h, it appears that st present, there U a food thing In fnrmlt.g in Western Cansln. and that the American Uia- r U net .1 J to avail M.-r.-elf r-t
