Roml to Ron AVliolly on Dominion Territory I'reinlrr Iaorier'l Vlan to Make Canada Commercially In dependent. - Tlie opeuin of the vast and almost unknown -regions of northern America is the object of the new transconti nental railway which ia about to be constructed by the Canadian govern ment, and in many respects it is the most remarkable undertaking of its kind ever planned. The scheme has the support of Sir Wilfrid Laurler, premier of Canada, and the Dominion parliament is asked to ratify an agreement made by the government with a company organized under the auspices of the Grand Trunk Railway company for the construction and operation of a transcontinental road through the northern portion of the wheat belt. The road will not only be the most northern railway in the world, running, as it will, to Dawson City, but its western terminus at Port Simpson is nearly 500 miles north of the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific railway at Vancouver. For the greater nart of its route the new road is to traverse a practically unknown and uninhabited eountry a land that has generally been consid ered as far north of the range of civilization and cultivable land. Re cent surveys have brought to light the fact, however, that there are enormous tracts.. of rich wheat lands in the far north of the Canadian wilderness and that the northern warm line of wheat in western Canada Is hundreds of miles nearer to the pole than it Is in the east. It is this development of far northern forest and agricultural lands, where nothing but arctic desolation was pop ularly supposed to exist, which gives much of the interest to the route of the new railway. Another interesting fact in connection with the enterprise and one upon which the Canadians are especially congratulating themselves la that for the first time in its history the Dominion will possess a through line of railway from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, every mile of which will Ik? upon Canadian territory, with Canadian ports forming its terminals on both oceans. Sir Wilfrid I.aurier made the most of this fact in introducing the measure in parliament recently, claiming, in v V . ... 4 ' '' t. :'x t 5- ; v.; y y i Sin WILFKID LAUBIER. Premier of Canada. fact, that it was absolutely necessary to the commercial independence of Canada that she should construct such a railway. His contention ,was that from the earliest days Canada had been dependent upon American friend ship for the transportation of her goods across United States territory and that bonding privileges which she enjoyed might be abolished at any time. The line will be approximately 3,300 miles in length, beginning at Monc- ton, a divisional point on the Intercolo nial railway, in New Brunswick, and running west, with a northward trend. to Port Simpson, on the Pacific coast. in British Columbia. Like all national enterprises, the new scheme has had to face the fire of political controversy, the main pbjec tion being that the line from JItSricton to Quebec will run in opposition to tho Intercolonial railway, which is owned and operated by the government. Sir Wilfrid Laurler meets this criticism by pointing out that the proposed line will be from thirty to seventy miles distant from the Intercolonial, with a chain of mountains lying between them, and will open up a fertile region in a section of New Brunswick. Between Quebec and Winnipeg the line will pass through a tract of good farming land larger in area than the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Dela ware, and the climate compares favor ably with that of Manitoba. As to the western division, there is little room for difference of opinion. rort Simpson, the western terminal. Is said by engineers to have the best harbor on the Pacific coast. It consists. In fact, of two harbors, the outer being three miles long by one and a half miles wide, perfectly sheltered with a half mile entrance, and the inner har bor nearly as long, but not" so wide, with a 1,300 foot entrance. Sir Wilfrid Laurler has been the pre mier of Canada since 189G and Is tho first French Canadian to hold that of fice, ne is a lawyer by profession and entered the Dominion parliament in 1S73. Upon the retirement of Edward Blake from the Liberal leadership in 1SS7 3Ir. Laurier, who had already been recognized as the head of the French Canadian wing of the party; was unanimously chosen to succeed him. POSTAGE STAM PS. Tlie Wasted Onea Net I'ncle Sam Over a Million a. Year. An experienced clerk in a branch post office uptown says that Uncle Sam 13 in pocket every year more than $1,000,000 by purchase of postage Btumps which never are used. "How many stamps," he says, "do you lose through carrying them care lessly in your pockets and fishing them out again glued together and useless? How many do you put in a corner of your pocketbook, finding them a'gairi months later looking like anything but postage stamps? Of course nobody ever thinks of sending such stamps in for. redemption. Suppose the waste I am speaking of averaged 20 cent3 annually for each business man. The total would be enormous. "Hot weather was a great revenue maker for the government before the little oiled books came In; but many persons lose their books, and the aver age is about the same. Some persons 'lietually come back to the stamp win dow and ask if lost stamp books can be traced, like bank books. Another way -in which Uncle Sam gains 13 through tradesmen sending out letters mclo8lng stamped addressed envelopes for replies, which in the majority of cases are never used. "Some business houses collect such envelopes and redeem them, Imt few take the trouble to do this. Think of the thousands of return postal cards, 00, that are never used. Lots of per sons are careless of putting stamps on letters or papers, and they fall off. Then the matter is held up for double postage on the other end of the line. "A great many persons put on too much postage. They slap two two-cent stamps on a letter that would bave gone for 2 cents. It is amazing how little information usually well in formed persons have about different classes of mail matter. The pay for It, too, and pay well. The beauty of our postal system is that the govern ment gets the benefit of all mistakes." New York Press. GETTING TO SLEEP. Some Point Abont the Art of Woo ing Peaceful Slumber. All conditions must be- favorable to sleep. The bedroom should be quiet, dark and airy. In winter it is better to have the window away np than to shut it so that a knife edged draft shall chill an exposed shoulder. The temperature cf the bed should be agreeable. Getting to sleep when the feet are cold is as slow a job as getting to sleep when hungry. A hot water bottle in one case and a piece of bread and butter in the other will help things. I leave it to you to decide which is for which. A warm bed in winter is easily got, but a cool bed in summer is not so simple a propo sition. However, a sheet made of straw matting Interposed between the regular sheet and the mattress w;ill be found to mitigate sensibly the horrors of a hot night. It preserves he softness and springiness of the bed and yet is pleas antly cool, without being too cool. Per sonally I find that sleep comes soonest when I have no pillows at all. The next thing is to relax utterly. Remember that the corner of the jaw is the citadel of tension. While that is clinched no sleep can come. But most Important of all is the disposition of the mind so that sleep can come. The rea son why we fail in this is the same as the reason why we fail In other things. We do not very genuinely want to suc ceed. As we lie stretched out alter a busy day, there are so many thoughts that we want to chase after that we drop the notion of sleep, though we know that tomorrow is another day on which we can think. It is all very well to say "Dismiss these thoughts." How to dismiss them is the problem that each must solve. narvey Sutherland In Everybody's Magazine. rosaibl? So.

"But the sea horses go to riding schools, and the starfishes go to astro nomical schools, and the seal goes to a law school, and the swordflsh goes to a military school and the sawfish to a manual training school."

New York Commercial Advertiser. A Child' Frock. A pretty frock for a child is made of white pique embroidered. It is to be worn with a guimpe and is finished around the top with a deep shoulder rufiie embroidered around the - edge with a little cluster of tlowers at In tervals. There are several rows of drawn work around the top of the rutlie outlining the neck. The sleeves are a little different from those usually seen, being long and full, then dou bled in at the lower edge and finished underneath with a band at the elbow, the sleeve falling around the arm in a big deep puff. Around the upper part of the sleeve is an embroidered ruffle like that around the neck, this finished at the - top. several inches below the shoulder, with a band of drawn work. The upper part of the frock Is gathered full: There is a belt of the material, and below the skirt it is ironed Into plaits. Black Visiting; Costume. An attractive black visiting costume is built of fine plain and perforated satin faced cloth. It has a circular skirt with a yoke of perforated em broidery. The pelerine is narrow over the shoulders, the lower edge reaching half way to the elbows. In the front it falls in two loose points over the bust. and in the back it continues in a single deep point to the waist line, where it is attached to the belt with large pas sementerie ornaments. The sleeves are quite large and are gathered into big ruflled cuffs edged with velvet. They are entirely of the perforated cloth and are slashed up the inside of the arm to ehow a panel of black cluny. lace. .There is a choker of the velvet. Chic Shirt Walat. The shirt waist styles are not vastly different from the things we have worn all summer, says New York Mail and Express. Striped and checked fabrics and the style of goods known as vest- lngs will be much worn. A chic waist is the white flannel one here illustrated. WHITE TliANXEIi WITH OKIEXTAI. BAKDS. It gains distinction by two bands of oriental trimming down the front. . An other good idea for a flannel shirt waist is also given.
