teresting letter from Air. Ellas kost,
formerly a prosperous farmer of that
State, who recently emigrated to West
em Canada, taking tip a claim for him
self and for each of his three sons.
From Mr. Kost's letter, which was
written Feb. y, 3001, we publish the
following, believing it will prove ol
great interest to those who have con
templatcd settling in tho Canadlar
Northwest:
'I had In August, 1902, secured t
claim for myself, and tiled on thrct
quarter sections for my sons. My clalii
Is one-half mile south of tho Edmon

Rtm wo n,ised over 100 bushels of verj
Hue potatoes, and sowed n few acres
of hurley, but the scasou was too fai
advanced for the barley. However, w3

abitit 00 tons of hay nnd thus wll
have nn abundance. We have, all told,
about '2 10 acres of hay meadow, which
would yield tho oust year over three-
tons to the acre, and In an ordinary
season the meadow would furnish GOO
tons of liny. The trass. is very nutri
tious, and cattle o. the ranges beconii
very fat without being fed u pound ol
grain
"On tho upland the grass grows from
eight to ten Inches tall. This Is en Med
range grass, and Is suitable for stocli
at any time, even in the winter wheq
tho ground Is not covered too deep with
snow. Horses subsist on It alone, a
all times, provided they aro nntlvi
slock. The grass in the hay meadowi
hero is called red-top, nnd grows froin
five to six feet In length, and when cu
at tho proper time yields an abundan'
ciop of nutritious hay.
Our cattlo havo not cost us n cenj

the small outlay for salt and labor in
putting up hay and shelter. All eatth

that melt it very rapidly; these wind.
are called Chinook winds, and are al
ways warm. In ono nigh. a ChinooS
wind may take away three or foui
Inches of snow.
"We have built on our claim a oonv
fortablo house of hewn logs, 20s2l
foot, one nnd one-half stories in height
with a good cellar. During the latlei
part of June we rafted logs down tin
Sturgeon to a sawmill, about eight
miles away, and thus secured 5,000 feel
of good lumber which was needed for
the house. Later in the season a shin
gle mill located six miles away. T
this we hauled logs and had shingles
cut for the roof.
"We had an abundance of wild frul'
the past season, consisting of gooseber
ries, strawberries, raspberries, eyeber-
rles, blueberries, cherries and oiiska
toons. The latter are a lino looking
berry, red, and quite pleasant to tin
taste, but not much to be desired it

same as those that grow wild In Till
nols. Kaspberrles aro red in color
large and equal to any of the taim
varieties, and so are tho gooseberries
The cranberries consist of the high and
trailing varieties. The latter are niosl
sought and contiguous to the swamps
The ground Is literally covered wltl
them ns with a red carpet, but the best
and most sought Is the blueberry, fit
called by tho Indians. This is tin

Dorothea von Schlegel, tho clovei
wife of a great husband and th
aughter of a great man, was often
urged to lay down her knitting ncedlej
and take up her pen. Sho replied,
Tliere aro far too many books in tin
world and far too few stockings." Mrs,
Louise J. Miln, in "Woolngs and Wed
dings of .Many Climes," says that thlt
remark Illustrates the point of view ol
ninny German women.
With most German women house-
Iceeplng is both a sclenco and an art
The woman who is daily and hourlj
engaged in sclenco and art is not a
woman of stagnant mentality, llei
kitchen is her laboratory. Her linoi
room is her studio.
The average German housewife doel
as much work as any, but she make,
far less fuss about it than most. Sin
does no dirty work. There is novel
any dirty work for her to do, for dlrl
is only matter out of place. The gooi
German housekeeper never displace!
anything, never allows anything t
misplace Itself. It Is a line lesson it
good breeding to see a German womai
make a cake or brew a cup.
In the early seventies, In Chicago, 1
knew a German family. From tin
baking of their bread to the seeing ol
their bread baked, from tho dlulnf
room to tho kitchen was an easy stei
for tho child-stranger within thost
simple German gates. And L had nij
llrst nnd greatest lesson in eleganct
and the grand manner when I watchet1
Fran von Hitter pickle peaches.
It was a sermon on high thlnkln)
nnd right living. She was so cool, si
dainty, so unllushed, so self-possessed
so cheery, but so dlgnllled, so every
thing that I had supposed it lmpossl
blc to be In a kitchen. Although 1 wni
only a little girl, I realized that tlilt
simple German housewife had lu boll
her mind and iter manner many lhu
and high traits, which were often sad
ly lacking In the mothers of other,
of my playmates. Most of them wen
women of lavish wealth, but not one ol
them could ever hope to wear her dla
nionds with half the distinction will
which tills German woman wore hej
spotless cooking apron.
HELD AN EXCELLENT HAND.
(Jut the Old Card Player Thought
J)
Wouldn't Count in the Game.
Things had progressed to a point
where the young man had been practl
cally received into tho family circlo
While ho hadn't yet mustered up suf
ilclent courage to ask tho old niiin'i
consent, it was evident Unit ho woul
in (lino.
Thus It happened that tho old man
who liked nothing better than a good
game of whist or eucliro or hearts, in
vited him to a little game ono evening
and, of course, lie didn't feel that II
would be policy to refuse.
"You and moUier," said tho old man
referring to his wife, "can play against
Gladys and me. That will be fair. II
you and Gladys sat opposite eacli
other you would probably persist In
looking into each other's eyes, to Uu
great detriment of the game."
Naturally the young woman and tin
young man blushed, but they said
nothing, and the game began,
It wasn't much of a game. Whlh
the young woman wasn't sitting oppo
site the young man, she was sitllnjj
next to him, and every few mlnutet
one or tho other of them forgot tc
play when It was his or her turn
Then, too, there were frequent in
qulrles as to who took tho last trlcli
nnd what was trumps and, altogether,
the old man fell a good deal like swear
Ing on ono or two occasions.
Filially he made up his mind thai
patience had ceased to bo a virtue,
The game had come to a standstill
while Uio young people exchanged con
fidences in a whisper. It was notice
utile that each had one hand under th
table.
"Young man," said the old man,
sharply, "I should Infer from the wa
you are playing that you havon')
much of a hand."
"On the contrary, sir," protested the
roung man, "I think 1 havo as good a
nand as I over held."
"Well, suppose you drop It for a few
ailnutos nnd try to play tho cards that
ire on tho table," suggested thegon
tloman dryly.
ITo did; Ills missing hand nppeared
ibovc tho table almost instantly, and
lo did hers, and they both blushed.
