A MichlRnn Farmer V1H SimkMooa
and In Well l'lcnned.
Mr. S. K. Lent was a delegate sent
from the farmers of Allegan County,
Michigan, to Western Canada, to re
port on the prospects for succesful
settlement. Ilia report Is as follows:
I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton,
thence east one hundred miles by wag
on. I found the country In that vicin
ity a rich, black loam, varying from 12
inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are
Blmply something enormous; wheat
nnd oats by actual measurement often
standing 5 feet in height. I have been
a farmer for 40 years, and consider my
self a fair judge of the yield of grain,
and I saw wheat that would yield GO
bushels per acre, and. oats that would
yield 100 bushels per acre; not one
alone but a good many. As for root
crops and garden truck, in no country
have I ever Been their equal for nil
kinds except corn and tomatoes; the
nights being too cool for these to
rlpenwell. As a stock country it has
no equal. East of Edmonton, on the
head waters- of the Vermillion River, I
saw hay meadows containing from 10
to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet
high, nnd would often cut 3 to 4 tons to
the acre. From Edmonton I passed
through some fine locations, namely,
Wetaskiwin, Laoombe and other
points.
From Mncleod I went to Hegina,
thence to Prince Albert, 247 miles
north of the main line. For the first
SO miles Is fine farming country, but
the next hundred miles is more of a
stock country. Then at Saskatoon,
Itosthern and. Duck L-afce I found some
very fine farming country, so good
that T found a party of AmericanB
from Minnesota buying land for them
selves one party buying 12 sections,
and the other 20 sections of land for
themselves, which they proposed to
improve at once.
T bave traveled over 23 different
States and Territories in our Union,
and never in my life time have I ever
seen such magnificent crops and es
pecially as fine a stock country.
FACTS BRIEFLY TOLD.
Once upon n time there was a wom
an who married a. man to reform
him.
And she did, says the Baltimore
American.
She made him quit his evil ways,
and he did not drink, nor chow, nor
smoke, nor swear, nor stay out at
nights.
In fact, he became as mild as skim
milk.
Now when this result was achieved
tho woman began to worry. He hnd
lost his charm for her. She discov
ered that she had been more inter
ested in his faults than in his vir
tues, because after she had panned
him out he didn't assay worth a
cent along the line of good qualities.
He was simply a negative equation.
But the man had some sense, after
nil. He saw what was bothering her,
so he swore just a little, and drank
just a little, and smoked occasional
ly, nnd took n chew on the sly.
Then she had the fun of reforming
him all over again. And she was
perfectly happy, because she could
point with pride to him at regular in
tervals.
Moral A little backsliding adds to
the interest of the good work.
THE POOR SINNER'S BELL.
Chicago prohibits the gathering of
cigar butts.
The human lungs usually contain
about one gallon of air.
The value of Spain's mineral produc
tion in 1000 was $57,714,G51.
Cranberries are grown in bogs that
oost from .$300 to $500 an acre.
Of all money transactions in Eng
land 97 per cent, are transacted by
checks, only three per cent, by Botes
and gold.
There arc 20,000 square miles of ag
ricultural land in Natal alone, which
carries a population of but one to the
equare mile. The same paucity of
farming population prevails over the
whole of South Africa.
AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Detroit, Mich., Jan. 13th. A sensa
tional statement Is made by Mr. Ben
jamin Major, whose home is at, the
corner of Jane and Hurlbut Ave., this
city.
Mr. Major says that he has found a
remedy which will positively cure all
Kidney and Bladder troubles. He suf
fered himself for a long time with these
disease in the most painful form, and
during his illness experimented with
a great many medicineswithout get
ting any relief. Finally he tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills, nnd to his great joy was
cured completely.
Tho statement he makes seems to
have, ample confirmation in reports
being published every day of wonder
ful cures by this remedy.

Affcctluc Account of the CiiniIiik of
n Fine Church Hell in llreNlnu,
I'runalii.
The poor sinner's bell is a bell in the
city of Breslau, in the province of Si
lesia, Prussia, and hangs in the tower
of one of the city churches. It was
cast July 17, 1380, according to historic
records, says the Detroit Free Press.
It is said that a great bell founder of
the place had undertaken to make the
finest church bell he had ever made.
When the metal was melted the found
er withdrew for a few moments, leaving
a boy to watch the furnace and enjoin
ing him not to meddle with the catch
that held the molten metal, but the
bpy disobeyed the caution, and when
he saw the metal flowing into the mold
he called the founder. The latter
rushed' in, nnd seeing as he thought
his work of weeks undone and his
masterpiece ruined, struck the boy
a blow that caused his immediate
death. When the metal cooled and
the mold was opened the bell was found
to be not only perfect, but of marvel
ous sweetness of tone. The founder
gave himself up to the authorities, was
tried and condemned to death. On the
day of his execution the bell was rung
to call people to attend church and
offer a prayer for the unhappy man's
soul, and from that it obtained the
name of "the poor sinner's bell."
Find Yonr Plncc nnd irm it.
It is a sad parody on life to sea
a man earning his living by a voca
tion which has never received his ap
proval. It is pitiable to see n youth,
with the imnge of power and destiny
stamped upon him, trying to support
himself in a mean, contemptible' oc
cupation, which dwarfs his nature,
and makes him despise himself; nu
occupation which is constantly con
demning him, ostracizing him from
all that is best and truest in life. Dig
trenches, shovel coal, carry u hod; do
anything rather than sacrifice your
self-respect, blunt your sense of right
nnd wrong, and shut yourself off for
ever from the true joy of living,
which comes from the consciousness
of doing one's best. Success.

Story of Dr. Unties.
Dr. William llnileo, of-the Albany Medi
cal college, is very fond of a joke, $.u ean
give as well as take one. Among the stu
dents ia anatomy is one who answers to
the somewhat unusual cognomen of Crow
when he answeis at all for this student
was. as the doctor facetiously obseived a
weelc after the opening of college, when
for the first time he nnswercd roll call,
a rare bird. After an unusually prolonged
period of abbeneeism, the student present
ed him?clf the other day, and one of his
classmates tried to ex pi it in that he must
have been detained by a game of crowkuet!
The racket which succeeded this remark
made no impiefsion on the doctor. With
out heeding the diversion, he proceeded to
express his great pleasure at the wander
er s return, and then convulsed the class
by quickly remarking: "Why I am de
lighted to see ou, Mr. Crow, what is both
ering me is whether there is any nccehary
connection between the absence of your
caws and the 'caws' of your absence."
Golden Days.
Hard on the Chickens,
In an Ohio town last fall the African
Methodist Kpi&conal church of that dis

the town was filled with colored pulpit
orators. A few days after the conference
clofed its sessions one of the leading col
ored women of the town drove out to Pea
llidge to purchase chickens of an old mam
my who had supplied the family for years.
Aunt llannn, coming to the gate, said:
"I'm sorry, Mifk Allie. I ain't got a chicken
left. Dey all done enter de ministry." ban
