The returns of the Interior Depart ment show that the movement of American farmers northward to Can ada is each month affecting larger areas of the United States. Time was, says the Winnipeg Free Press, when the Dakotas. Minnesota and lowa fur nished the Dominion with the main bulk of its American contingent. Last year, however, forty-four States and districts were represented in the offi cial statement as to the former resi dence of Americans who had home steaded in Canada. The Dakotas stili head the list, with 4,006 entries. Min nesota being a close second with 3,887, but with the exception of Alabama and Mississippi and Delaware every State in the Union supplied settlers who. In order to secure farms in the fertile prairie country of Canada, became citi zens of, and took the oath of allegiance to, the Dominion. Last year no less than 11,841 Americans entered for homestead lands in Canada. From the Gulf to the Boundary, and from ocean to ocean, the trek to the Dominion goes on. Not only the wheat growers of the central Mississippi val-; ley. but the t anchors of Texas and ( New Mexico, and the cultivators 6f the comparatively virgin soil of Oklahoma, are pouring towards the productive va cant lands of the Canadian Northwest. It is no tentative, half-hearted depart ure for an alien country that Is mani fested In this exodus; It has become al most u rush to secure possession of land which it is feared, by those im perfectly acquainted with the vast area of Canada’s vacant lands, may all be acquired before they arrive. There is no element of speculation or experi ment in the migration. The settlers have full information respecting the MU, wealth, the terming methode, the laws, taxation and system of govern ment of the country to which they are moving, and they realize that the op portunities offered in Canada are in every respect better and .greater than those they have enjoyed In the land they are leaving. Canada can well afford to welcome cordially every American farmer com ing to the Dominion. There Ir no ques tion but that these Immigrants make the most desirable settlers obtainable for the development of the prairie por tion of the Dominion. Full informa tion cap be had from any authorized (’aiaidlan Government Agent, whose address will be found elsewhere. Some Better.

Stronger Among Garmans than Amar . cans in Lar ire Cities. That the Germans have come here to stay and that they have money to spend is shown by the extent to which they are acquiring tbelr homes. A recent article of this series brought out the striking fact that, despite the re cent arrival of many Germans on other shores, German-American farm ers own their farms more extensively than do farmers of American stock. Even more striking are the facts of German borne ownership in the cities. In the nineteen cities of over 200,- 000 population 20.9 per cent of the native American •families live in their own homes, against 28.1 per cent among the Germans of these same cities. In the following table the per centage of home ownership are shown for both native Americans and for the Germans: Torrent owning homes. Amer- Ger ican. map. New York 17.3 15.2 Chicago 17.5 32.2 Kt.

Some cities show very surprising ad vantage for the Germans and as a rule they are those cities in which the Ger mans are strongest. Take Milwau kie. for c-xample, where one-half the people are German. Nearly twice as many Germans, relative to their num bers. own their homes in that city ns do the native Americans. Vciy similar results are shown in St. Louis Cincinati, Cleveland.

Women's Woes. iMuch of women’s daily woe is due to kidney trouble. Sick kidneys cause back ache. languor, blind headaches, dizziness insomnia and urinary troubles. To cure yourself you must cure the kidneys. Profit by the experi ences of others who have been cured. Mrs. William W. Brown^ professional nurse, of 16 Janes street. Paterson. N.

Economy in Threshing. The fact that there Is more grain put into the straw stack than there should be. Is something that merits the earn est attention of the up-to-date farmer. Is It not possible to save the wastage of grain and time which attends the use of old-style machinery? This Is something that should command the careful consideration of every farmer. In line with the thought we call at tention to the ad. of Nichols & Shepard Company, Battle Creek - , Mich., found in another column. It would seem that the time has come when this great channel of wast age cn the farm should be eliminated An Kxplanation. “I’d like to know why it is,” said young Ardupp to bis tailor, “that every time you make a pair of trousers for me you get them a little short?” “1 suppose,” replied the knight of the featherless goose, “it’s because 1 usually find you that way when 1 present my bill.” I can recommend Piso’s Cure for Con sumption for Asthma.

Barefoot boy with cheek of tan; With thy turned-up pantaloons. And tl^y merry whistled tunes; With thy red lip, redder still. Kissed by strawberries on the bill; With the sunshine on thy face Through thy torn brim's jaunty grace! From my heart I give thee joy; I was once a barefoot boy. Prince, thou art; the grown-up man Only is republican. Let the million-dollared ride; Barefoot, trudging at his side. Thou hast more than he can buy. In the reach of eftr and eye- Outward sunshine', inward joy, Blessings on thee, barefoot boy! Oh. for boyhood’s time of June. Crowding years in one brief moon When all things I heard or saw, Me, their master, waited for! I was rich In flowers and trees. Hummingbirds and honey bees; For my sport the squirrel played. Plied the snouted mole bis spade; For my taste, the blackberry cone Purpled over hedge and stone; Laughed the brook for my delight. Through the day and through the night, Whispering at, the garden wall. Talked with m^ from fall to fall;* Mine the sand-rimmed pickerel pond; Mine the walnut slopes beyond; Mine, on bending orchard trees, Apples of Hesperides! Still as my horizon grew. Larger grew my riches, too; All the world 1 saw or knew Seemed a complex Chinese toy. Fashioned for a barefoot boy! Jh. for festal dainties spread Like my bow) of milk and bread! (Pewter spoon and bowl of wood) On the doorstep, gray and rude! O’er me like a regal tent, Cloudy-ribbed, the sunset bent. Purple curtained, fringed with gold. Looped in many a wind-swung fold; While for music came the play Of the pied frogs’ orchestra. And to light the noisy choir. Lit the fly his lamp of fire. I was monarch; pomp and joy Waited on the bare-foot boy. Cheerily, then, my little man. Live and laugh as boyhood can: Though the flinty slopes be hard, Stubble-speared the new-mown sward, Every morn shall lead thee through Fresh baptisms of the dew; Every evening from thy feet Shall the coo) winds kiss the heat; All too soon those feet must hide In the prison cells of pride; Lose the freedom of the sod, , Like a colt’s, for work be shod; Made to tread the mills of’toi).

The suburban town of San Angel, nt the base of tbe foothills, three-quar ters of an hour from tbe capital by electric car. Is every year becoming more fashionable as a summer resort, and every year, as modern conven iences and better houses are providetl in the outlying districts, more people take up their permanent abode there. To the casual visitor to San Angel the most Interesting feature is the handsome old church of Nuestra Sou ora del Carmen. Its triple domes, with their tiles shining brightly In the sun light, are the first objects that arrest the attention of strangers approaching the town. Its Carmelite bell tower, or campanarlo. Is distinctive, and the edifice is one of the handsomest eccles iastical monuments in all Mexico. It was dedicated to the worshop of Wed in 161", or three years before the i ll grim fathers of New England land d on Plymouth Kock. The interior is handsomely decorated and contains (some notable paintings by the famous Mexican artist Cabrera. J’lous wojnen have adorned the cbppcl of our Indy, which Is «ue of the features of this ancient church, and the magnificent Churrlgueresque ornamentation of the northern transept is a splendid speci men of this most distinctive Spanish mode of decoration. Beneath this transept rest In their eternal sleep 45 American soldiers, who were killed or died of disease during the war of the North American Invasion, when the ad joining monastery of the Cannelite fathers was converted into a military hospital and barracks, the good fathers nursing the wounded Americans with such Christian devotion and good will that when the troops evacuated San Angel monks and soldiers fell on one another’s necks and wept. Janvier speaks of San Angel’s church as follows: “In the year 1013 Don .Felipe De Guzman, a pious ‘cacique’of Cblmalls tac, In fulfillment of his father’s testa inent, gave up to the Carmelite order a huerta ’of considerable size. Here the Carmelites built a little hospice. Don FHepe De Guzman presently died, and n little lated died also his widow, childless. By her will the entire es tate of which ghe died possessed pass «td to the Carmelite fathers, nisi by these It was devoted to the bigldlng of the existing monastery and clftrch. The jdans for these buildings were pre pared by the celebrated architect Frny Andres De San Miguel, a lay hndher of the Carmelite order, and nt that time held to be the first architect of New Spain. That this reputation was Well merited la shown by the beauty of bls still existing work. The building whs begun June 20, IGIS. and was pushed with bo much Algor that the church and convent wore finished with in two years. The church was dedica ted to San Angelo Mnrtir, whence came the name of the little town that presently grew up around it.—Modern Mexico. SYSTEM HAS BAD FEATURES. Arguments In Favor of Substituting Post Checks for Money Orders. An object lesson showing the effects and uxpenslveueAs oT the postal money order system was given .a few days ago to several members of the House PMtoffice Committee by Captain Henry A. Castle, auditor for the Postoffice Department. Mr. Castle first conducted his visit ors to the "auditor's library,”' us it is called. Here are 7,000 loose-leaved binders, each making a volume larger than the largest counting-house ledger and weighing 15 pounds. These 7,000 binders are tilled annually with post masters’ statements of money orders issued and paid, which are sent to the auditor’s office with the 46,000,000 money orders issued, anually as vouch ers. The party next visited the “machine room.'’ where scores of.the high-sal aried clerks were operating adding ma chines which verified the additions of the money order statements sent in by postmasters. More than 150,000 or ders are daily handled in this room. The visitors then went to the “round table” room, where other clerks were distributing an average of 150,000 money orders dally. The orders are theme taken (and the party followed them) to forty desks where nhnble fing< red operators, mostly young wom en. separate them by towns in each Slate, arranged alphabetically. The money order vouchers are now ready to be checked with the accounts of the Issuing postmaster and 35 ex pert clerks were found doing this. From the clu*ckors the money ordern are tied in bundles, properly labeled and filed In the archives of the audi tor’s office for seven years, as required by law. The postmasters’ statements, constituting the accounts, are filed in the loose-leaf binders as desertbed and are ready for entry in the ledgers of the bureau where the accounts are kept. The 7.0(X) volumes of the state ments are preserved also for a term of seven years. The effect on the visiting Congress men was startling. They learned also that the majority of money orders are for leas than $2.50 each. For their is sue third and fourth class postmasters get the entire fee of three rents. First and second class postmasters employ high-salaried clerks for this work and the cost to the service is still greater. The paying* of the orders, the book keeping and the transmitting of them to Washington entail a heavy outlay for salaries, without a penny of com pensating revenue; so that, in addi tion to the losr of time in going to the postoffice, applying for money orders and awaiting their issue, is this addi tional pecuniary loss to the govern ment. When the tour of the office had been ended the visitors asserted that Con gress should, without delay, adopt some plan whereby this expensive and burdensome work could be reduced or at least its enormous growth discour aged. The remedy for much of this evil, officials say. lies in the adoption of the posit check plan, as post check curren cy would require no auditing.—Wash* ington Star. Too Versatile. Poor Jack of all trades! So strong Is tbe prejudice against him that be Is even denied the right to practice one avocation lest it interfere with his call ing. This Is an age of narrow special ization. When John Belcher, known now as a daring and original architect, was a young man he gave a good deal of time to music. He had a line voice, and was greatly In demand at evening parties. One evening, after be had sung, to loud applause, he overheard two gen tlemen talking him over: "Who was tbe fellow that sang just now?” asked one. "Tbe professoinal, I mean.” “Ob, that was Mr. Beb ber, an archi tect” "Well, he can’t be much of an archi tect if he can sing like that.” The listener never sung again save at home. He decided that it was bet ter to be* a good architect than a pretty good musician and a fairly good archi tect The Grizzly of Old Days. In the old days, before the deadly magazine rifle was Invented, hunting the grizzly was a very different affair, and no animal on the American con tinent was more dreaded, his fierce ness and vital force when wounded tilling the most reckless of hunters with^-jvholesome dread. It was not at all unusual for a grizzly with a bul let through bis heart to pursue and tear to pieces the hunter, whose long single-barreled muzzle-loading rille, with Its one round lead bullet, was altogether Inadequate for such a con test. It Is a strange tiling, too. that while the grizzly bear Is an omnivor ous feeder, living on anything from roots and nuts to steer and buffalo meat, he hns never been known to de vour human flesh.—St. Nicholas.
