VJrdcn, Manitoba, ISth Nov., 1S33. non. Clifford Slfton, Minister of the In terior, Ottawa, Canada. Sir-" Thinking that my experience In Manitoba might bo botli useful and interesting to my fellow-countrymen in the United States who may be look ing to Manitoba and the North-West with the intention of settling there, 1 have much ploasu.ro in stating that through information received from Mr. W. F. McCreary, Immigration Commissioner at Winnipeg, 1 was in duced to visit Manitoba in February, 1808. When I called upon Mr. McCreary he spared no pains to give me all the information, Ac., in his possession, the remit of which was that I came here with a letter of introduction from him to the Secretary of the Virdcn Eonrd of Trade. That gentleman pro vided me with a competent land guide and nltho' thero was considerable snow on the ground, I had no difll culty in selecting thrco homesteads for myself and sons. Having made the necessary homestead entries at the Land Ofllcc in Brandon, I returned to my home in Lyon County, Minnesota, and came back hero in May following accompanied by enc of my boys, bring ing with us two teams of horses, im plements, &e. Our first work was to erect 11 temporary shanty and stable, after which wo broke and levelled 75 acres and put up 30 tons of hay. I went back to Minnesota about 20th July, leaving my son here. I returned in October bringing my family with me. I found that the land wo had acquired was of good quality being a strong clay loam with clay subsoil. Last Spring I sowed 100 acres in wheat, 50 acres in oats & barley (75 acres of this grain was sowed on "goback" plowed last Spring.) My orop was tlireshod in October, the re sult being over 2700 bu. of grain in all. Wheat nvcraged 13 bu. p. ac. and graded No. 1 hard but that which was sown on land other than sod ("go back") wont 24 y3 bu. p. ac. To say that I am well pleased with the result of my first year's farming operations in Manitoba does not ade quately express my feelings, and I linvc no hesitation in advising those who are living in districts where land is high in price to come out here, if they are willing to do u fair amount of work. I am 10 miles from Virden, which is a good market town, and 0 miles from Hargravo where there are two elevators. This summer I erected a dwelling house of native stone and bought a half-section of land adjoin ing our homesteads for which I paid a very moderate price. There are still some homesteads in this district, and land of fine quality can bo purchased from the Canadian Pacific lly. Co. at $3.50 j). ac. on liberal terms. Good water is generally found at a depth of from 15 to 20 ft. I have 175 ac. ready for crop next year. The cost, of living here is about the same as in Southern Minnesota. Some commodities are higher and others lower in price, but the average is about the same. I remain, Your obt. servant, (Signed) Jacob JJeiehert. FISH AT $200 A POUND. The "CeloHtlnl Telcncoic" mill 1Mb Surprlxlnu'ly Optlntlnt lc Mnii- ner and lluliltn. The ordinary housekeeper, who would consider 25 cents n pound an excessive price to pay for fish, may be more than contented by the knowledge that some kinds of fish are sold here which would bring hundreds of dollars if valued by the pound. One of these fish is now shown in an uptown aquarium store. It is called the "Celestial Teles-cope," and though less than four inches long is priced at $12, without accessories. A four-inch fish weighs a trifle less than an ounce. At $12 an ounce, then, these fish would be worth $192 a pound, which is prob ably the highest price charged for any kind of fish in New York. "The celestial telescope" is a fancy variety of goldfish, and gets its name from its enormous goggle eyes, which are set nearly or quite on the top of Its head. It exemplifies perfectly, in fact, Edward Everett Hale's advice to "look up and not down." Most fish whobc eyes nre thus situated, the angler or the flounder, for example, are inclined to hug the bottom closely, and thus avoid the possibility of any iiiuxen danger from below; this one, however, has neveroutgrown the free-swimming hab its of its ancestor, the common goldfish, and generally keeps nenr the surface of the water, lu this position it can see practically nothiug except floating objects, and it often misses the most tempting morsels if they happen to bo floating below it. Besides its extraordinary eyes, the fish possesses most of the other peculi arities sought after by the fish fanciers. In fact, it is the most "fancy" fish pro duced, and is intended to differ as much ns possible from the natural goldfish. It has an enormous double "fan-tail," so fine and dainty us to be almost use less for swimming purposes; an extra large size of scales, and a color varied by irregular patches of black, none of which features are natural attributes of a goldfish.

A young bota nist was showing a party of ladies and gen tlemen through a conservatory of some of the choicest plants. Among the visitors was a would-be young-looking, middle-aged lady who nt every description volunteered the f-tatement that the plants and flowers she had nt home were quite the equal of any thing here or indeed anywhere. Just as they were passing a giant cactus she was heard to exclaim: "Well, this is nothing extraordinary. J nave a cactus at home that is still larger. I planted nnd reared it myself." "Beared it yourself?" the professor gently observed. "How remarkable!

Qsstf EVERY CHILD born into the world with an inherited or early developed tendency to distressing, disfiguring humors of the skin, scalp, and blood, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suffering but because of the dreadful fear that the disfiguration is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint themselves with the best, the purest, and most effective treat ment available. That the Cuticura remedies nro all that could bo desired for the alleviation of tho suffering of shin-tortured in fants and children nnd tho comfort of worn-out worried mothers has been demonstrated in countless homes in every land. Their nbsolute safety, purity, and Bweetness, instantaneous and grateful relief, speedy euro, aud great economy leave nothing more to bo desired by anxious parents." Evidence is found in the tuiiss of lottcrs received from grateful parents, testifying to the incalculable bene fits they havo derived from the uso of these preparations in the treatment of infantile skin and scalp disorders. There Is a ring of truth and sincerity about tho testimo nials hero submitted that stamps them genuine, and when a mother writes, as does lira. E. IJutler of 1289 Third Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., In simple, grateful language, of tho good Cuticura Ikuj accomplished In her home, larents cvorywhere must regard theso remedies as house lold necessities. Mrs. Butler says : "My oWost boy, ago nlno years, was troubled with sores on different parts of tho body, especially 011 the leg, about twenty-four In all. They woro about tho elzo of a llvo-cunt plcco, and would fester very much and eject a pus. They were very painful. After my fonnor cxpfjrlenco with tho cuio of my llttlo girl with Ciiti. CU11A remedies, I did not bother with tho doctor In this case, but gavo him tlio Cuticuka treatment which completely cured him In four wceVu. As a rule, my four children aro very robust ond healthy, these two, tho baby and tlio oldest boy, bolng tho only ones ever troubled with anything llko this 1 mentioned, but thauks to Cuticuka remedies they aro all now In perfect health." What can bo more convincing to a mother than the following graphic letter from Mrs. .7. C. Frccso of "JOG South First Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. : "My baby was about four weeks old when ho began to suffer from that terrible dlsenso, eczema. I tiled every remedy I thought would do him good. I even catfevi in tho doctor, but I used his modlelno tononceount. I did not Uuow what to do with him. llo cried nil tho tlmo and his face was equal to a raw piece of meat. It w 11s horrible, and looked an If there never was any aLln on It. 1 bad to carry lilm around on a pillow. I wiih fnlrly dlpeournged. I was then recommended to uso Cuticuica romcrilca. Tho flrt time I ueod them I could hoo tho change. I u.ed about half n box of Chticuka Ointment, and not 0110 half cakoof Cuticuka Soap, and nttho end of 0110 short week n:y baby was entirely cured. Theio has never been a traco of It blucc. To-day his skin Is uu smooth and col t aa a plcco of ellk." Another remarkable instnnco of tho effectiveness of the Cuticura remedies Is found In tho terrible experieuco of the babv daughter of Mr. 11. A. Lapliam, lyt West Side Square, Springfield, 111. Mr. Lapliam writes as follows : "Our Utile daughter was troubled from her birth with eczonia. Her face, arini, hands, and neck would break out with rod pimple which would swell ami becomo terribly Inllamed, wider would oo.o out llko great beads of perspiration, llnnlly this would dry up and tho skin would crack and peel off. Sho suffered terribly. II. id to wear soft mittens 011 her hands to keep her fiom scnitxhlntr. Wo r.ivo two of our leading physieluusa good trial, but niltherof them helped her In tho least. I purchased Cuticuka Soap, Curiums v Ointment, ami (UTicuitA Ur.boi.vi:.NT. Sho Improved at oncu and Id now never troubled, although we used los than 0110 bottlo of IiESOLvrj'T, tlireo boxes of Cuticuka, and Cuticuka Soap." In a few forceful worda, Mrs. C. Brand of Conesvlllu, N. Y., vividly portrays an experience common to many mothers, and her letter, which follows, Is lull of comfort and encouragement for anxious parents : "Two years ago this winter my boy began to break out with a pcalynmh. Jtnealy covered hla back .ind e.ilcof legs. I heard plowing ropurta of Cuticiiiia louiodlcii ami thought to try thqm. Three cakes cf Cuticuka Soap, two r,oxo.H of cuticuka Olntniunt, 0110 bottlo of CUTieuMA RESOLYrjrr cured lira. I thlUt l:?ni wonderful remedies." The economy of the Cuticura treatment is shown by tho letter of Mr. W. M. NIcholl, of Lexington, Old., who spent one thousand dollars with doctors, specialists, and medical colleges in a vain attempt to find relief for his littlo son. A friend recommended tho uso of tho (.'uticura remedies, and ho gives tlio following account of tho cure : " My eon, when ho was nix wooka old, had a breaking- out on tho top of his head. It spread all over his head, nnd then his nrmn broko out from shoulder to wrist. Aiound his body and around his legs from his knees to his anklcB, wns n solid scab. My family doctor treated him for eighteen mouths, but no good wna accom. pushed. I tried four more, and then n medical college In St. Louis six mouths. No good yet. Spent not less than n thousand dol lars In money and tlmo. Old Mr. Iiarnoy Chip Insisted on my trying Cutjcuka remedies, tolling mo ho had a spell llko my child's himself, llythu tlmo my wife had used tho Cuticuiu. Ointment up, bo began to Improve and got so ho could sleep short naps, anil gavo 1110 nnd my vrlfo some rest. Thank tho Lord, ho is now wc41, fat, hearty, nnd stout ns any boy, nfter six long years of Itching, crying, and worrying. Cuticuka remedies cured him." Three children in one household suffering simultane ously from eczema. Such was tho distressing condition of Mrs. A1111I0 li-lng of 015 East Thirteenth Street, New York City, who tells her cxperlenco lu these words: "My second child got eczema when eovon months old. Throo months later my fit bt child got It, and following him tho last one. two years old, fell a victim. For twenty months thoy suffered fearful agony. Their whole bodies, especially their faces, woro so euro and 1 aw that tho llttlo ones wcro blind half tho Uino. No words ran dcBcrlho tho suffering ot my second child, whoso wholo body wnit one bloody muss. IIo wiih constantly crying, could get no fleep, and ho actually did not look human. I tried doctor after doctor, but none afforded tho slightest rollof. I decided to try Cuti cuka. Tho first application brought relief In each case, and after fourteen days treatment with Cuticuha. Soap and Cuticuka Ointment, tho worst caso was cured, and the wholo neighborhood. Is surprised ut tho wonderful effect of Cuticuka." One of the most wonderful of cures is that of tho llttlo daughter of Mrs. G. A. Conrad of Lisbon, IT. II., whoso sufferings from eczema wero so inlcnso that her hands had to be tied to keep her from tearing her flesh. Tho mother writes : 1 "When my llttlo girl was Fix months old, sho had eczema. Wo had need cold creams and ull kinds of remedies, but nothing did her any good; In fact, 11I10 kept getting worse. I used to wrap her hands up, aud when I would diesrt her, I had to put her on tho table, fur 1 could not hold her. Sho would kick and scream, nnd, when sho could, f ho would tear her face and nrmn almost to pieces 1 used four noxojof Ci'ricun.v Ointment, two cakes of Cuticuka fio.p, and tho Cuticuka :i.oi,vi:nt, i.nd bho was cured, and I teo no traces of tho humor Ictt. I can truthfully say that they have biivud her life." It will afford 110 pleasure to havo parents whore llttlo ones aro iiliiicted with any form ot skin, scalp, or blood humor, write to any one of the above addresses for cor roboration of the facia given, and we have no doubt that Hiich an appeal will elicit still stronger testimony regard ing tho wonderful curative properties of tho Cuticuua. remedies.
