SOLVING THE FUTURE WELFARE
OF THE CONTINENT.
Thio Is What la Mow Hcin r Done on
the Fertile I'rairiea of "NYcstern
Canada.
The rapid progress that is being made
in the settlement of tlie fertile prairies
of Western Canada is leading to the in
vestigation of its resources by those in
terested in having proA'isiou made for
those living in the croAvded East , for
those Avho have been struggling for
years on impoverished farms , for the
renter Avho is unable any longer to bear
up under the strain imposed by the
landlord , and for the farmer who , un
able to purchase farms for his sons in
his OAVII neighborhood , has to look
around for leAver priced hinds. The in
vestigation shoAvs that it is impossible
to meet these conditions successfully
outside of Western Canada. Already
millions of bushels of wheat are being
grown there each year , while as many
is 50,000 head of cattle Avere shipped
out this year. A representatiA-e of "The
( iermania , " Mihvaukee , one of the lead
ing German papers in the United States ,
recently'made a trip through Manitoba ,

Avhere lie the free government lands of
Western Canada , and in a future issue
Avill appear extracts from flattering let-
tc-rs contributed to the Germania and
other papers by their special correspon
dents.
As an inducement for immigrants to
make their homes in Canada , the Cana

And Avind and cloud together close
The AvindoAVS of the fcky ;
"Thelorth AA-IMU is man's Avind ,

In tlmtlie joyed , in that he tinned ,
It chants his love and hale.
"Tho Avost Avind is the an gels' wind ,

And Avhero the gray storm clouds are

We see their rushing Avings.
"The east wind is the devil's Aviiul ,

But the south Avind is God's Avind ,
And blows from paradise.

THE BTJKAWATS.
EEMS to me , Tiny , the folks
might quit. "
The tAVO stood on implanted
ground an odd strip about a hundred
yards Avide , running both Avays as far
as the eye could reach , AVhile on either
side the ranks of corn toed tlie line ,
seemingly afraid to encroach one inch
beyond their mark.
It AA'as deep , fertile prairie land , COA--
ered IIOAV with the characteristic coarse
grass and gum weed , but as capable of
good yield under cultivation as the
fields on either side.
"Tiny , " said Sim , as if deliberating ,
"you an' me's of age. "
The girl quivered a little , but she
looked at him resolutely.
"And there ain't no reason why AVO
should stay here all our lives. I'm a
strappin' feller , an' though I hate to
leave loway , I reckon there's other
States Avhere a man could work fer

"O , Sim , you ncA'er mean fer us to run
away ? Why , 'tAVOiild kill maAv , an'
Aunt Susan an' Aunt Eliza ! " gasped
Tiny.
" 'Twouldu't kill 'em , " he responded.
"Think o' me , danglin' on a string nigh
onto tAA'o year a'ready ; it's a Avonder
it ain't killed me , that's what ! There
ain't no other AA'ay but fer us to go be

'Ta'll never forgive your ma , nor she

I ain't meaniu' to be cross , but ef
you've got Avomeu folks to leave , I've
got men folks. There's father ; he's the
obstiuatist old man you ever see , an' I
know it ; it's jest him to see a pretty
dotter right Avithiu reach , an' him to
refuse her , because it's you. It's a
comfort to feel ef you're marryiu' into
sech an obstinate faoubly , you're mar-
ryin' outen one about as bad. All the
same , I hate to leave pa an' Uncle Sim ,
an' old John , thet's ben our hired man.

an" you an' me'll start off into the world

Saulsburys thet's left can light it out
AA'ith the Taylors thet's left , an' Avel-
coine. Say you'll come , little girl , say
you'll come ! "
Tiny looked up at Sim then , Avith the
look a AA'oman gives a man only once
In her life , and that when she herself
goes Avith it , and then the tears sloAvly
welled into her eyes.
"O , Sim , " she consented , "but we'll
come back an' bid 'em good-by ! "
"Yes , " he replied , straightening him
self to his G feet 2 , "yes , after the
Avexldin" I"
Hardly had the tAvo parted indeed
the shaking tassels of the corn yet be-
1 rayed the opposite path each had
taken when an old man stepped grim
ly into the dear strip , the stubbly beard
on his set , square jaAV sheAving a sandy
gray in the sun.
A scant skirted oaliro dress and a
sUt sunbonnet , Avith a long , pointed
nose and an obstinate chin appearing
Avithin it , glided from the sralks on the
other side , as if to meet him.
"When too late to retreat they spied
each other old Tom Saulsbury juid the
widow Taylor.
"Hem , " he said , gruffly.
"M-m-m ! " she said at the same mo
ment , Avitli a little screech in her A'oice.
"I noA'ur s'posed I ueA'er thought "
she stammered.
"No , you never s'picioned I Avas nigh ;
nuther did I you but I do s'piciou ,
noAv , you've be'n about yere long
enough to see Avhat's goin'"on betAA-een
my boy an' your girl. I give you my
Avord , Mis' Taylor. I never tlrumpt of
it before , an' I stumbled on it to-day. "
"I couldn't 'a' believed it of my Tiny
unless I'd follered her '
a-purpose , an'
seen it. I'd be'n AA'oudering this long
time Avhat tuck her so often in this di
rection , " the Avomaii half sobbed.
"I heard IIOAV she spoke of her moth
er , moni , an' I hope you likeAviss heard
jest IIOAV Sim mentioned me , fer in the
main he done mo justice an' himself
credit. Sim's a strong , hard-world n'
young man , an' an improvement on hN
father , I should jedge. Should you ,
morn , sayin' he Avasn't a Saulsbury ,
now , feel comf'table tliet your dotter
should hev him ? "
"Tiny's a darlin' good girl , actiA'e an'
williu' , an' always healthy , an'che'r -
fnl. Don't seem' 's ef she Avas old
enough , an' yet well rutlier 'n 't
she shouldn't marry at all , like Susan
an' Eliza turrible old maids , both of.
'em Avhy , yes ! But a Saulsbury O ! "
Mrs. Taylor protested pointedly.
The old man shifted his weight to the
other foot and gazed into the clouds.
"Mis' Taylor , AA'e've be'n engaged in
uplioJdin' a principle nigh onto twenty
rf JIOAV , an' I don't knoAV Imt what
we've about wore it out. Still , ef
hain't but a rag left of the old flag , I'm
bound to grip the flagstaff , an' I s'posc
you're the same ? "
"I hain't changed none ! " she re
turned , vindictively.
"But boin * si well pleased with Sim
for his goin' ahead as he please , spite
of the parents on both sides ; also seem'
with my own eyes what a modest an'
sensible girl you've raised , an' idee oc
curs to me by which we can git shet
of the whole thing in a selt'-respectin'
manner. MN" Taylor , do you still hold
your patent from the government , em
bracing this here strip o' land ? " he in
quired.
The slat bonnet nodded violently.
"And rutlier'n go to law about it you
will consent to leave it a sorter neutral
strip as long as you live ? "
Again the bonnet agitated.
"Well , I still hold my patent , too ,
clearly definin' it as a part of my do
mains , plainly betrayin' the mistake
in surveyin' which our almighty gov
ernment 'has ' made. I'll never go back
of my promise nuther , about leavin' it
in the nateral nerarie while I keep my
claim. Xow. when in the course of
uatur you become an' angel , would it
be proper to suppose "the old maids
bein' otherwise provided fer , as I've
always heard to suppose thot you'd
leave your farm here in loway to your
sole issue ? "
"It would , " Mrs. Taylor replied , won-
deringly.
"My farm bein' ekally good an' pro
ductive land , I should , in like case , an'
givin' fer once employment to a law
yer , leave it to the only child I have in
the world , an' 'thet's my Sim. Then , as
I understand it , these two farms could
be attached as wings to this here strip
of 100 yards wide an' 820 acres long.
Xow , while them tAvo young things are
stealin' their weddin' trip , there might
be a log raisin' on tins spot , me to do
the haulm' with the help of Uncle Sim
an' my hired man , John "
"An' me to furnish two webs of cloth
of my own an' Susan an' Eliza's spin-
nin' , an' the quilts an' a set of pewter
dishes ! " said Mrs. Taylor , rising to the
enthusiasm due the subject.
"But , mum's the word , mom ! Let
'em run away an' welcome , an' when
they come home we'll give 'em a wed
din' party on their own farm , even if
it is only a narrer strip of perarie. An' ,
mom , in the light of the ; e bloomin' af
fections , specially seiihC we've both
give up our bone of contention , does it
strike you thet we two's got a matter
fer quarrel furdor after twenty years
of dretful onneighborliness ? "
While Sim and Tiny wore making
their few simple preparations , they
thought it must be because their minds
so ran on their plan that their little
world seemed also making prepara
tions. Tiny even went so far , once , as
to fancy she smelled wedding cake.
It was , indeed , an odd elopement ,
and , in the bundle fastened to her sad
dle horn , Tiny latter found a white
shawl that had been part of her moth
er's wedding finery , and the side combs
she had forgotten to put in the package
hidden under the roots of a tree that
morning.
The bridal couple were gone the week
they had planned , and on their return
a gracious sight met their view for ,
during their absence , their own house
had risen as if by enchantment ; smoke
curled from its chimney , corn bread
was on the hearth , and hominy in the
pat , ami friends crowded to welcome
them home. Exchange.
Father Mathew.
Father Mathow's face was gentle ,
but lighted up with an animated ex
pression , in which it was impossible
not to trace the spirit of disinterested
benevolence which actuated him. Ills
voice was soft and his accents winning ,
and a suggestion of sympathy and for
bearance pervaded his whole person :
those he addressed seemed at once to
recognize his authority , perhaps be
cause there was no assumption of it.
His height was sufficient to be to a
certain extent commanding , but the
chief source of his power a'bove ' others
was in the suavity and self-eomman'd
of hi.s manner , and none , of whatever
religion , who knew how simple and
self-denying were hi.s habits , could
help respect Ing and esteeming him.
Father Mathew , like most Irishmen ,
was open-hearted and open-handed ,
and far too generous for his means ; he
gave away everything he had at his
disposal , and as another outcome of
his Hibernian character , some things
which were not at his disposal ; the
consequence was that ono day in Dub
lin , while zealously administering the
pledge , the bailiffs suddenly came upon
him , but instead of tapping him on the
shoulder and informing him in their
pleasant little way that he Avas "want
ed , " they knelt at his feet , and , after
asking his blessing , showed him the
Avrit obtained against him by a metal
manufacturer for a balance of account
ami respectfully arrested him. From

Oat of the Fire.
The newspapers of the large cities
record , almost daily , some terrible con
flagration. Often they record , also , the
heroism of the firemen in their efforts
to save the life and property. Harper's
I Hound Table gives a graphic descrip
tion of a f > re in New York.
A great tenement-house was burning
like tiuderwood in cue of the poorest
quarters of the metropolis. The stairs
had gone up in smoke before everybody
had left the building , and even the iire-
escape down the outside of the build
ing was cut off by the flames.
A girl of 14 or l. > was frantically
shrieking for help in one of the top
windows , and a mother was wringing
her hands in pitiful despair doAvn in
the street. The chief called for \olun-
teers to save the girl , and three men
came forward on the instant , without
hesitation and without waiting to count
their chances of success. This is the
custom in such cases , for no one would
take the responsibility of ordering a
fireman to his probable death.
A strong young fellow , who had yet
to win his spurs , was selected for the
tr.sk , and he disappeared quickly
through the doonvay of the adjoining
building. When next the crowd saw
him he appeared at the window just
under the roof , and grasping the tin
cornice of the burning building next to
him , he swung out into the air , and
made his A\'ay , hand over hand , for
thirty feet through the dense smoke
that rose in black clouds from the lower
AAindoAvs to the sill where the girl had
been seen.
She had fallen back into the room
unconscious , and was overcome with
smoke by the time he reached her. A
thousand anxious faces in the street be
low were tortured with fear for the
hero. A hundred muttered prayers went
up for his safety as the fireman disap
peared into the black cloud , and a thou
sand throats sent up a lusty shout of
relief as he appeared again at the win
dow a moment later with the limp form
of the girl in his arms.

Judge Grosscnjj Grants an Iiijiinctinn
Auaijujt Imitators of This Vnliinlilc
Remedy.
A uecis'.on of s noral intprcst was deilv-
orod lately at Chicago by Judge Pcti-r S.
( Jrosscup of the United Btntis Circuit
CViur * , giving tlie Centaur Company ot
Xi'Av York City , manufacturers of Cus
tom. a world renowned remedy , an in-
jir.ctii.n ajr.vnst the members of the Chi-
capo firm 01 * IJnrd , Venn & Hirsciion ,
acting as asonts of the P'.ulier Mcilicino
Company of Dnlutli , Minn.
Judge Grosscup , in his decision , finds
that the defendants manufactured , put
up and sold imitation wrappers. labels nnd
packages , a preparation known as "Gas-
toria. " The court held that suoh manu
facture and use of original label was a
gross violation of the Centaur Company's
right's. Tie ! jiul e thereupon issued on
injunction restraining the defend ants from
imitating the original citstorin labels for
Centaur Company. Messrs. llamline ,
Scott ami Lonl appeared as atlornrys for
the Centaur Company. During the hear
ing of ll.e case an aflidavit was read from
Dr. Samuel Pitcher , tlie originator of thr
preparation castoria , in Avhioh lie stntofi
that the Centaur Company only Iirul the
right to use his formula and his name.
Charles II. Fh'tchcr , president of tht
company , lias been mo t active in Iracinp
the source of spurious ? goods that \vtre
found on the market and offered for t-le
as the ival article , lie discovered that The
imitation was first put on the market l y
the Sager Drug Company of Duluth ,
Minn. , and that Mr. Kurd and others
handled the preparation in Chicago. The
sale was found so easy that the ngonta
proceeded to put up a preparation of th'-ir
oAvn , thus checkmating their prim-ipttls.
The decision just rendered covois both im-
t ations. The Centaur Company are now
taking steps to proceed criminally against
druggists Avho have been talked into lay
