4 THE NEW "WOULD. Intcrcnt Is Arouncd la the Cnnntlla Went. The exhib its of grains and grasses, roots and vegetables, the product of the fer tile lands of Wcstc r n s& Canada, which were made at the several ntato and county fairs in 6omc of the Western states this fall, have awakened considerable in terest in the lands which the Canadian Gov ernment has opened for settlement, and which are given free to settlers. The agents of the government, who are to be found in these states, are flooded with inquiries re garding the conditions on which these lands may be secured. Largo numbers have lo cated on these lands during the past year, and send back to their friends most encour aging reports. They say they have entered on an era of prosperity, and are well pleased with both the agricultural possibilities and the climate. The provinces of Manitoba, Assinaboia and Alberta arc especially adapt ed to diversified farming. In some parts the country is specially adapted to stock raising, and it is being profitably pursued. In these parts snow seldom remains a week at a time, the warm breezes from the ocean affecting the climate thus favorably. When the de sirability of these lands is fully known there will be a rush such as has scarcely ever be fore been known. Information as to low railway rates, illustrated pamphlets, etc., will be forwarded with pleasure by the De partment of the Interior, Ottawa, Canada, if you are not in possession of the name of an agent of the government.

FADS AND FANCIES. Novcltlc In the "World of the Mol-a Noted In PniNlittr. There Is something always eminent ly rich and ladylike In the appear nnco of lustrous corded silk, be the color black, gray, fawn, moss green, plum tints or cream white. This win ter these repped silks are preeminent ly fashionable, together with many other materials woven in similar cord ed effects. The circular, kilted and princess outlines which fashion now favdrs are particularly adapted to these rich materials. Many of the demi-traincd dress skirts are cut with nine gores and at the back some are box-plaited and others fan plaited. A great number of the new coats are lunile decidedly longer than any worn last season. Very tall, Blender women may congratulate themselves on the change. The plaited round waist and the full ltussian blouse waist contest for favor with the numberless chic little coat basques, very short, very smart and very much trimmed. German broadcloth in dark ltussian red, or the favorite blue shade of tho winter, is noted amojig elegnnt models in redingotcs and other enveloping gar ments of the season. Some of the very expensive wraps are lined throughout with fur. Owl and plicawiut plumage is still in the millinery world. It is not un common to see an owl's head with spread wings used whole for the orna mentation of a hat. Of course, there is no room for nny other kind of trim ming. The simplest and perhaps the most fashionable bodice for evening wear is the full blouse shape of chiffon, drop ping over a fitted silk lining, the top cut in square or rounding fashion, with a full tulle ruche, a narrow band' of fur, a fall of lace or beaded revers to finish the edge. The sleeves consist of short, full puffs similar!' trimmed. Some new silks show a white ground with colored garter snakes and earth worms gliding nlong nnd casting queer, long shadows. Other grounds are strewn with cars of corn, the natural size; great tufts of grass, bunches and trails of ivy, all giving the most bi zarre effect. Onefiwill need to train one's self up to tbem.

It was a lovely night, and for the fair duchess' beneJlt the jgreat telescope was duly leveled at tho dazzling field of stars. "What is that star?" she said, point ing to a very bright one. "Oh, that's Aldebaran, a star of the first nagnitude." "Is it very far off?" asked her gruce. "About six or seven light-years, your grace." "What is a light-year?" "Merely an expression which one uses to convey nn idea of the distance which light travels in a year. Itoughly speaking, light travels at the rate of 190,000 miles in a second, and there are about 31,000,530 seconds in a year. In one year, therefore, light travels about 5,991,840,000,000 of miles. The expres sion of 'light-year' includes these fig ures." "And is thnt star all tQiose millions of iniles away?" "Yes, your grace, as nearly as we can calculate." "Then, all I coji say," remarked the duchess, "is that you must have won derful good eyes to make out that blnr's name at that distance, even with this big telescope. It's really most marvelous!"
