Frcnch Uniforms Absurd.
Every one who has examined the !
campaign uniform of the French sol- }
( Her has fouud it , to say the least , pic- ,
luresque. The dingy colors of their ,
clothing , the absurd knapsack , tup un-i
shapely cartridge box , the ugly headgear - !
gear , the trousers turned up. all com-1
bine to make a spectacle of him not to
be found elsewhere in Europe. And
the clumsiness of it all is the first thing
to strike even the most unobservant
spectator.
Writers for the French press have
long since pointed out these facts and
have shown how such infliction in the
way of outfit is sufficient alone to use
up the strength of the strongest man
and crush down the energy of the stout
est heart. The headgear of a French
infantryman is something on the order
of an old-fashioned helmet worn by
English firemen.
This instrument of torture peculiar to
the French army exposes the wearer
to sunstroke during the slimmer and is
entirely insufficient for protection In
the winter months. It also acts as a
gutter spout when it rains and lets the
water pour down the soldier's back.
The French infantryman is about as
bad off in other respects. His shoes al
low both the dust and moisture to pene
trate to the skin and his knapsack be
comes a veritable instrument of tor
ture. The French writers point out
thai fatigue and exposure to such trials
are much more dangerous than the bul
lets of the- enemy , They add that a
battle is the exception , while troops are
always on the move , and that the gen
eral , who , through the proper equip
ment of his troops can put them on the
field of battle in a better phj-sical con
dition than the enemy , already has the
battle half won , the other conditions
being fqu.il. Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE HOPE OF THE CONTINENT.
Western Canada the "Bread Basket
of the Empire. "
The atteutiou directed to the wheat
fields of Western Canada during the
past year has caused thousands of setj
*
tie's from differeut parts of the United
States to make their homes there during
the past few months. They'report that
their experience corroborates what had
been told them of that wonderful coun
try , and they are sending back to their
friends most favorable reports. During
the past summer a number of Wiscon
sin and Michigan and Minnesota editors
visited Western Canada , and the follow
ing extracts are from a very flattering
letter written by the Germania of Mil
waukee by its able contributor , Prof.
Sheridan.
"The numerous elevators along the
line , towering so far above the sur
rounding country that they may be seen
for many miles distant , sufficiently in
dicate that the chief industry is the
growing of wheat. At the village of
Indian Head more than a million bush
els of wheat was marketed last year.
This was but a fraction of the amount
of the same product marketed at the
larger cities of Brandon and Regina.
At Indian Head the representative of
the Germania was told by a farmer that
he was about to harvest his thi/d crop
of wheat from the farm upon one
plowing given it the fall of 1S93 ; the
crops of the current year and of last
year having been sown upon the stubble
of the preceding crop. This farmer ex
pected a yield of not less than forty
bushels to the acre. The farms are very
largo. The absence of hills and rocks
contributes to making farming on a
large scale an easy matter. There was
an abundance of evidence that the coun
try surrounding the cities named above
is an extensive region of fertile lands
furnishing as great an opportunity for
cattle raising and dairying as for the
growing of wheat. "
"We were surprised to find here a
rich growth of nearly every species of
cultivable plant known in AVisconsiu.
Various species of trees were growing
showing that its soil and its climate are
favorable to the growth of forests. The
writer had never seen a more promising
growth of wheat , oats and garden vege
tables than was observed here. The
Experimental Farm of Wisconsin , lo
cated at Madison , produces nothing bet
ter. "
"The people along the line of the rail
road , however , assured us that we were
still far distant from the northern limit
of the wheat-growing belt , and that five
hundred miles farther north wheat and
other agricultural products were culti
vated with success. The inhabitants
do not depend solely upon the growing
of wheat , but utilize vast acres in rais
ing cattle. The growing grain and veg
etables showed that a plentiful supply
of rain had fallen during the current
year. "
"From this city ( Calgary ) our party
was taken north 200 miles to Edmon
ton , a town of 5,000 people , situated on
the north Saskatchewan river. The
country at this point is beautiful , pre
senting very much the appearance of
many sections in central and southern
Wisconsin. The people are engaged in
mining for gold , and in raising wheat ,
potatoes and cattle. Dairying is also
followed. This valley seems to be fav
ored with sufficient rain fall to produce
a luxuriant growth of grain and vege
tables. The soil is very fertile and tim
ber is abundant. Fields of wheat were
observed that promise a yield of forty
bushels per acre. The many good
farm houses seen from the railway are
evidence of the prosperity of the set
tlers. Edmonton is the terminus of the
L-oad and the place where the overland
expeditions start from for the Yukon ,
it being aUout 800 miles from Dawson
City. "
"The members of the association
tnade the acquaintance of the Cana-
lians of the Northwest and learned
something of the vast extent of their
territory And of its great resources ,
ivhich are destined to make it our most
'ormidable commercial competitor in
: he world's markets for the sale of ag-
ieultural products. We learned that
: he Northwest Territory of Canada , in
stead of being a barren waste as taught
> y our geographies of a qnnrter of a
: entury ago , Is capable of sustaining an
'mplre ' of fifty millions of people. "
Successful Dyeing.
Take 4 ounces of blue vitriol to 1
pound of logwood ; dissolve the vitriol
in a little luke-warm water : put six gal
Ions of water in an iron vessel , add the
vitriol and the goods to be dyed just
as many goods as the water will cover.
Cotton and wool will color the same.
Punch down at the sides and let boil
moderately three-quarters of an hour ,
then remove , drain and wash in a so
lution of water and soap , warm ; the
home-made lye soap is the best. Now
use tile same quantity of clear water
as before , and the logwood , stir well
and let boil. Place the goods in slowly
and boil same length of time. Wash
well. Hang in the sun to dry. Always
choose a clear day for dyeing , as the
sun helps to brighten the color and give
the goods a new look.
Cover the Faucepan.
The contents oZ a saucepan should
never cook , unless the recipe expressly
states to the contrary , without a cover
over them. Not only is the steaming
usually beneficial to the article in ques
tion , but when that steam is allowed
to fill the kitchen it harms the walls
and furniture. Moreover , it imparts
that smell of cooking , not to the one
room , but more or less to the whole
house , which i so disagreeable and is
what is often graphically , if somewhat
unkindly , called "the boarding house
odor. " New York Post.
Chicken .Salad.
Cut meat from your cold chicken ;
add equal quantity of shred lettuce ;
when you have cut chicken into nar
row strips two inches long , mix in
bowl , and prepare following dressing :
Beat yelks of two eggs , salt lightly ,
and boat in. few drops at a time , four
tablespoonfuls salad oil ; then , as grad
ually , throe teaspoonfuls of extract
celery- The mixture should be thick
as cream. Pour over meat and lettuce.
Stir upvili : fork ; place salad in glass
dish.
Soap.
For home-made soap , without boil
ing , dissolve half a can of concentra
ted lye in one-half gallon boiling
water. Put iuto it any clean grease ,
lard , drippings , etc. , and stir well. Add
raoro grensu as you luivo it , until the
lye will absorb no more , stirring it well
every day. The result will be firm.

kitchen without any qualms you
know it is clean.
ifij I'conoiiiics.
The amount of water used in the av
erage household on washing day is
much larger than is necessary. Soak
ing clothes saves a great deal of fric

much water that the soap will all be

and folded them together and then put
them into lha water.

Largest Silver Mine.
The biggest silver producer in the
world at present is the Broken tlill
Proprietary Company in New South
Wales. The output of that company's
mines for the fiscal year ending on May
31 , 1S9S , was 6,122,270 flne ounces of
silver. The Anaconda Copper Mining
Company in Montana came second ,
with a production of 5,074,030 ounces
of silver. It is worth noting that in
both of these mines the silver is pro
duced in connection with other metals
at Broken Hill with leiul and at Ana
conda with copper. The latter is prin
cipally a copper mine , since thr metal
forms the greater part of rht valut ? of
| its ores.
i The Coinpania Huanchaca do Bolivia
has had the operation of its mines se
riously interfered with for the last two
years by water and other mishaps. Its
production in 1S97 was 151,095 kilo
grams , or 4.SSG.G73 ounces , of silver.
This is not much more than one-half of
the maximum output which was reach
ed in 1893 , and was 281,007 kilograms ,
or 9,034,385 ounces. Engineering and
