ttv PR 5Irs PrnAM I cannot praise Lydia E Pinkams
Vegetable Compound too highly for it is the only medicine I ever
tried which cured me I suffered much from my first menstrual period

MUCH GAME IN NEWFOUNDLAND
Country is Full of Caribou Moose
and Wild Duck
- Warham Whitney of Rochester N
Y was at the Holland house for s
day recently at the end of a hunting
trip of several weeks in Newfound
land and New Brunswick says the
New York Tribune He was in the
Adfrondacks through August and
when September opened he was off
for Newfoundland
Plenty of game and fish splendid
sport was his comment on his ex
perience in Newfoundland Much of
the country said Jie is a marshy
plain but there is plenty of caribou
I saw more than three hundred of
them twenty eight in one herd and
I brought some trophies of my marks
manship and good fortune home with
me Proof of the plentitude of game
was the variety on one occasion in
our camp larder We had black duck
teal duck caribou meat and trout
The big game in New Brunswick is
moose They come to the water night
and morning and the quiet coves
where they can stand in the water
and nip the lily pads is the place to
get at them unawares I have tiie
head of one I shot Of course one
must endure some hardships on such
a trip but when it is all over the
mounted heads upon the wall at home
bring back the whole experience as a
pleasing reminiscence Up in New
foundland quiet water surfaces lakes
and the like are always steadies
and the running streams are rapids
while in New Brunswick the lakes
are dead water the streams are
quick water and a cove is a

Prescott Was a Mothers Boy
Prescott was not only well born
but happily born- His heredity was
nicely fitted to his problem of life
From his mother Governor Wolcott
thought he derived his unfailing
spirits In Pierces Life of Sumner
there is a record of a conversation
at dinner where Webster Ticknor
Sumner and Prescott were present
among others The talk turned on the
question what most vitally shaped
meps character and activities Some
said one thing some another Mr
Prescott declared that a mothers in
fluence was the most potent He
was a living witness All the ac
counts which Ticknor piously gather
ed from Salem contemporaries agree
that the boy William had his bright
vivicity from his mother Rollo Og

Arthur Bouchier the English actor
once hired as a dresser a
ter of the gallery at the theater Mr
Bouchier says One night a new
play was produced by me and when I
came back to my dressing room from
the stage I found the door locked As
time was pressing I sent another man
to search for my missing servant He
was caught red handed in the gallery
among his old associates loudly boo
ing his master Arraigned before me
he maintained the firmest attitude
possible and asserted boldly No sir
I am your servant behind the scenes
but as an independent man and hon
est gallery boy I am bound to express
my unbiased opinion either for or
against any play which I may happen
to see at a first night

All that I lovd before you came
Delight and laughter sonar and llame
The tender beauty of the fiowr
The- seasons ripening- hour bv hour
Exquisite nisht and rose Iushd morn
The shimmering sold of waving corn
Shadow and showr or summers blue
Are dearer now because of you
As one who scans a wondrous screen
Painted in scarlet gold and preen
And lauds the loveliness of line
And color blend in its design
I lookd on all tne show oi thinss
Kerore tne spirits secret springs
Were touchd by that which makes
one
With Natures heart-

with stars and sun
Ah now sweet springtime messengers
Shall find my lips as warm as hers
I too am thrilld with that same strife
Whereby the woodland flowrs have life
And you shall garner in the words
I softly speak those songs of birds
And winds and waters never dumb
That spake of you ere you were come

General Miles was standing in the

and happened to overhear a remark
made by a small thin young man who
was standing near During the
Spanish war the young man nad said
I took five Spanish officers without
any assistance from the army or
navy Whats that asked General
Miles turning upon him abruptly

cers without the assistance of the
army or navy Thats exactly what
I said sir replied the young man
by myself and without any loss of

Causing Iron to Swim
Elisha required a stick to make the
ax of iron swim We have never
learned the properties of that stjek
But there is a pretty trick of causing
a pice of iron to swim of its nwn
accord Let it be a half inch thick
say and two inches square or have
it round and perfectly smooth on one
side at least Place the smooth side
against the perfectly smooth square
end of an open glass tube say an inch
and a half in diameter and hold it
there until it and tho tube are low
ered into a vessel of water to a
depth greater than about eight times
the thickness of the iron Remove
the hand and the iron will remain
in its place the upward pressure of
the water preventing its sinking This
is the principle of the iron ship

Shad and Their Cones
A genius who invented a machine
for removing the bones from shad is
promoting a company with a capltatl
of 1000000 to rush tho apparatus on
the market before the end of the shad
season He says I have counted
in a singled shad of five pounds U0C0
bones and 147000 eggs I have oaten
500000 eggs at a- meal I have eaten
2500 bones at a meal for bones do not
hurt me but they are a menace to the
world at large My machine is sim
ply a powerful magnet which is passed
slowly over thev fish from end to end
The small bones leap right out of
the flesh in handfuls You can use
the invetnion either before or after
cooking I prefer it after because
tho fish is sweeter if cooked with the
bones in
An Angry Tree
There has just been discovered in
the far east a species of the acacia
tree which closes its leaves together
in coils each day at sunset and curls
its twigs to the shape of pigtails
After the tree has settled itself thus
for a nights sleep if touched the
whole thing will flutter as if agitated
or impatient at being disturbed The
oftener the foliage is molested the
more violent becomes the shaking of
the branches and at length the tree
emits a nauseating odor which if
inhaled for a few moments causes a
i
violent dizzy headache It has been
named the angry tree
A Sure Protection
Barton N Dak May 9th Many
cases are being published of how dis
eases have been cured and lives saved
by JDodds Kidney Pills but there is
a family in this place who use this
remedy as a protection against the
coming on of diseases and with excel
lent results
Mr W A Moffet says We have
no very serious illness or complaint
for we always use Dodds Kidney Pills
the very moment wo feel the least
symptom of sickness and they soon
put us right If we have a touch of
lame back or think the kidneys are
not right we take a few Dodds Kid
ney Pills and the symptoms are soon
all gone
My brother had diabetes and the
doctor told him he could not live until
spring I got some Dodds Kidney
Pills for him and although that was
several years ago he has lived
through all the winters and springs
since and is still living Dodds Kid
ney Pills are a wonderful medicine

Port Arthurs Name
Since the Avar in the east began a
good many newspaper readers have
wondered hew Port Arthur came to
get its name The first foreign ves

gave his own name to the place That
was about fifty years ago and as Port
Arthur it has been known ever since

IN AN OLD TRUNK
Daby Finds a Bottle cf Carbolic Acid
and Drinks It
While the mother was unpacking
an old trunk a little 18 months old
baby got hold of a bottle of carbolic
acid while playing on the floor and
his stomach was so badly burned it
was feared he would not live for he
could not eat ordinary foods Tho
mother says in telling of the case
It was all two doctors could do to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing
would lay on his stomach Finally I
took him into the country and tried
new milk and that was no better for
him His Grandma finally suggested
Grape Nuts and 1 am thankful I adopt
od the food for he commenced to get
better right away and would not eat
anything else He commenced to get
fleshy and his cheeks like red roses
and now he is entirely well
I took him to Matamoras on a visit
and every place we went to stay to
eat ho called for Grape Nuts and I
would have to explain how he came
to call for it as it was his main food
The names of tho physicians who
attended the baby are Dr Eddy of
this town and Dr Geo Gale of New
port O and any one can write to
me or to them and iearn what Grape
Nuts food will do for children and
grown ups too Name given by

WESTERN
FARMER IN
AN ILLINOIS
ERN CANADA
A recent issue of the Sholbjrvlllo
Illinois Democrat contains a long and
interesting letter from Mr Ellas Kost
farmer of that
formerly a prosperous
state who recently emigrated to West
ern Canada taking up a claim for
himself and for each of his three sons
From Mr KosVs letter which was
written Feb 3 1904 we publish the
following believing it will prove of
great interest to those who have con
templated settling in the Canadian
Northwest
I had in August- 1902 secured a
claim for myself and filed on three
nnortor eppfinns for my sons My
claim Is one half mile south of the
Edmonton and Lake St Anne trail
Coming so late in the season we
had little opportunity to break and to
prepare ground for a first years crop
still we raised over 100 bushel3 of
very fine potatoes and sowed a few
acres of barley but the season was
too far advanced for the barley However
feed from it
ever we secured good
and on rented ground 18 miles east of
us raised a fine crop of oats so that
we will have plenty of feed for horses
We cut about 60 tons of hay and thus
will have an abundance We have all
told about 240 acres of hay meadow
which would yield the past year over
three tons to the acre and in an or
dinary season the meadow would fur
nish GOO tons of hay The grass is
very nutritious and cattle on the
ranges become very fat without be
ing fed a pound of grain
On the upland the grass grows
from eight to ton inches tall This is
called range grass and is suitable for
stock at any time even in the winter
when the ground is not covered too
deep with snow Horses subsist on it
alone at all times provided they are
native stock The grass in the hay
meadows here is called red top and
grows from five to six feet in length
and when cut at the proper time
yields an abundant crop of nutritious
haV
Our cattle have not cost us a cent
since we came on our homestead only
the small outlay for salt and labor in
putting up hay and shelter All cattle
have been doing well this winter and
feeding up to the first of January was
unnecessary as there was good range
up to that time
All the snows up to that date were
followed by winds from the north
west that melts it very rapidly these
winds are called Chinook winds and
are always warm In one night a
Chinook wind may take away three
or four inches of snow
We have built on our cliim a com
fortable house of hewn logs 20x2G
feet one and one half stories in
height with a good cellar During the
latter part of June we rafted logs
down the Sturgeon to a sawmill about
eight miles away and thus secured
5000 feet of good lumber which was
needed for the house Later in the
season a shingle mill located six
miles away To this we hauled logs
and had shingles cut for the i oof
We had an abundance cf wild fruit
the past season consisting of goose
berries strawberries raspberries eye
berries blueberries cherries and sas
katoons The latter are a fine looking
berry red and quite pleasant to the
taste but dot much to be desired in
cookery The strawberries are the
same as those that grow wild in Illi
nois Raspberries are red in color
large and equal to any of the tame
varieties and so are the gooseberries
The cranberries consist of the high
and trailing varieties Thp latter are
most sought and contigums to the
swamps The ground is literally cov
ered with them as with a red carpet
but the best and most sought is the
blueberry so called by the Indians
This is tho famous huckleberry
whortleberry of the Blue Ridgo
Mountains in Pennsylvania and can
not be excelled for excellence by anv
fruit cultivated It is found here both
on the prairie and in tho timber in im
mense quantities
Game is very plentiful so far as
prairie chickens pheasants ducks of
all kinds and geese are concerned
We have taken nearly 5C0 chickens
and pheasants also a great many
ducks
An occasional deer is seen but are
not plentiful only one having been
taken during the season in this settle
ment
Fish are very plentiful at all sea
sons of the
year Fish wagons and
sleds are passing almost daily along
the trail with heavy loads of fish des
tined for St Albert and Edmonton
From the latter point they are shipped
south on the Calgary and Edmonton
railroad to points along the line and
ciiau iu on the Canadian
Pacific railroad
