V .N if r 7 1 v WESTERN CANADA'S RESOURCES. Farming Very Successful. By Western or Northwest Canada Is usually meant the greal agricultural country west of Ontario, and north of Minnesota, North Dakota, and Mon tana, Part of It is agricultural prairie, treeless in places, park like in others, part is genuine plains, well adapted to cattle ranches; part requires Irriga tion for successful tillage, most of it does not The political divisions of this region are the Province of Mani toba and the territorial district of As slnlbola, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Athabaska. At present, however, the latter Is too remote for Immediate practical purposes. The general character of t" e soil of Western Canada is a rich, black, clay loam with a clay subsoil. Such a soil Is particularly rich in food for the wheat plant. The subsoil Is a clay, which retains the winter frost until It Is thawed out by the warm rays of the sun and drawn upward to stimu late the growth of the young wheat, so that even In dry seasons wheat is good crop. The clay soil also retains the heat of the sun later In the sum mer and assists In the early ripening Of the grain. It is claimed that ceV tivatlon has the effect of increasing the temperature of the soil several degrees, as well as the air above it. Western Canada climate Is good cold In winter, hot in summer, but with cool nights. Violent storms of any kind are rare. The rainfall is not heavy. It varies with places, but aver ages about 17 inches. It falls usually at the time the growinp crops need it. The Department of the Interior, Ot tawa, Canada, has agents established at different points throughout the United States who will be pleased to forward an Atlas of Western Canada and give such other information as to railway rate, etc., as may be required. That agriculture In Western Canada pays Is shown by the number of testi monials given by farmers. The fol lowing is an extract made from a let ter from a farmer near Moose Jaw : "At the present time I own Bixteen hundred acres of land, fifty horses and a large pasture fenced containing a thousand acres. These horses run out ail winter and come in in the spring quite fat A man with money Judi ciously expended will make a compe tence very shortly. I consider in the last six years the Increase In the value of my land has netted me forty thousand dollars," If all the women who look back were turned to salt pillars the street would be full of statutues.

Every little while all brooches, rings and such things that are in constant use should be brushed with a tooth brush that has been dipped in eau de cologne. If the setting is open It must be done from the back, and be care ful not to loosen tho stones. Then lay the things in a box of Jewelers' sawdust, which has been slightly heat er beforehand, and leave for an hour. Gold chains may be washed in warm soapsuds, drying them on a soft towel by pulling back and forward. They may also be dried in sawdust and the particles can be blown or dusted out afterward. Be sure and get them dry, as they will be apt to become worn between the links if any dampness re mains. Party Gown for a Girl. An attractive party gown for a girl of fonrteen Is of blue voile with full skirt shirred half a dozen timos at the walBt and again half way to the knees. The shirred waist has fancy reveres of white cloth embroidered In blue silk the shade of the voile, and the sleeves deeply shirred at the top have fancy cuffs like the reveres fin ishing them Just below the elbow. A oft white sash with long streamer ends completes a chic costume. When the small maid shows a ten dency to outgrow clothes, Instead of letting out the hem of the skirt, when making the dress cut the waist two or three Inches longer, then lengthen the frock by changing the belt Coquetry In Fur Stoles. Stoles In every sort of fur still con tinue to encircle fair, slender tbrosts. It makes little difference from what animal the soft, delicate covering: Is taken, and whether It be black, gray, brown or white. Nelthet Joes It seem to be a matter of great Import wheth er the stole is long or short, broad or narrow. If It be of the circle form that Is the chief thing ha regard to 1 this bit of modlshness for the fair one's toilet. The next thing considered Is the way that It shall be worn. Twice about the swan-like throat Is the stole wound and then coquetishly one end is thrown over the left shoulder. Homely Refreshments. Perhaps it is because this Is to be an economical season and many are not entertaining as elaborately as In previous years, or perhaps because fashions change a great deal in" a short time; but many of the dainties served now at dinners are of simple and homely description. One of the most popular is the school girl delicacy known as fudge. Broken-up fudge and cream candy are frequently served in place of French bonbons. Table decorations are very simple, and green and silver are the favorite combinations. There is very little show of elaborateness In any of the entertainments. The predilection for home sweets has wrought havoo among the confectioners and caterers. Smart Trimmings. Fringe trimmings are considered the smartest mode of dress embellishment this season. Particularly effective are the fine silk fringes made to order with knotted headings; those of the sewing silk and twist variety are also greatly in vogue. Large fringed tas sels are seen on many of the new model skirts and are a popular means this season of garnishing the elabor ate evenlng'wrap. Narrow strips of fringe Insertion are attractively em ployed as piping at the edge of large tucks, and also in adorning the cors age. This style of trimming is com monly known as the "Tom Thumb" fringe, and when In white or delicate shade Is especially chic and pretty for the embellishment of evening frocks. Worth Knowing. A good housewife will never allow anything to go to waste. Instead of buying dusters or window cloths she will make use of her discarded pocket handkerchiefs, scarfs and silk petti coats, and will find she has some thing better than she could buy any way. There Is very apt to be a draft at the head of a brass or iron bed, and a little curtain of some pretty cre tonne and will add to your comfort and Improve the appearance of your room. Use dark green blinds in a bedroom. It will prevent the glare so trying to your eyes. Bedroom Hangings. Nothing Is prettier or more dainty for bedroom decoration than the up holstery dimities in the old English style. They can be got in many pat terns and launder beautifully, so are more durable than a flimsy fabric. They may be used In the entire decor ation of the room for bedspread, can opy, window hangings and dressing table covers. At the wlndors it Is prettiest to hang the curtains straight down each side with a full vallance across the top. Cushions for chairs and corner seats can be made to match too. Wear of Wedding Veil. Wedding veils must be put on now so that nearly all of the hair shows, and give a long, narrow look Instead of spreading at the sides. One of the most effective lately seen was a scarf about a yard wide and three and one half yards long, edged with a little real lace. One yard of It was turned back at the top to make a short veil, with a long one under it This was caught on to a half-wreath of orange blossoms, which Is now the proper finish. Two very small ostrich tips are sometimes seen. Butter for a Bump. While mothers' kisses are supposed to take the soreness out of all sorts of hurts and bruises, even this sov ereign specific will not keep a bump from turning black and blue. If a bump Is well buttered soon after It Is made, the skin, It Is said, will not change color. A woman who did not believe It but tried it all the same, says ber chllJren have been saved many ugly marks by means of this simple and Inexpensive remedy.

For a number of years I had pain In my head around my eyes, and I thought It was because my eyes needed treatment, so I went to an occulist and had glasses fitted" to my eyes and wore them for some time, but felt no rellof whatever. In fact, I felt worse than before, and came to tho conclu sion that the trouble was not with my eyes, but with my head and that it must be catarrh. As so many of my friends had used Peruna with benefit for this trouble, I thought I would try it. I was not sorry that I did so, for In a short time I began to improve, and In four weeks my eyes were in splendid condition, my general health was much Improved and all the catarrh of the head was gone. I was glad to get rid of this trouble and am glad to endorse such a good medicine as Peruna." Miss Amanda Johnson. MIm Flora Hauser. ' has fastoned ltsolf In some part of the syntom.
