Since the first of V.XT2 nearly 30.00C
emigrants have moved from the Unit
ed States over into Canada. The Ca
nadlau Minister of the Interior estl
mates the land bought In Canada by
Americans at about 10,0O0,0o0 acres
This sounds big. and England Is stirred
up accordingly. The English Econom
ic Review treats it as a grave question
The Americanization of Canada at thiJ
rate is feared to be a matter of but
few years. All of which only Ulu
tratus the English ignorance of Cana
dian conditions. Ten million acres il
a lwt of land, but it does not seem s
much, compared with the 35,000,000 il
Manitoba, the 50,000,000 farther west
in Assiniboia, the C0.000.000 north si
Asslulbola in Saskatchewan, and th
00.000,000 west of both Assinlbola ioi
Saskatchewan, In Alberta. Here art
L'O&.OOO.OOO acres still oiien to settle
ment. There is plenty of room In tht
great Canadian wheat lands for all
corners. Of course. If the English and
Scotch do not eater upon these lauds,
the ever-alert American is bound to dt
so. The American land company now
has an option upon 2,000,000 acres is
Ontario. The article in the Engl is
Economic Review lays stress UKn th
fact that American emigrants go into
Canada thoroughly imbued with the
Monroe doctrine and determined to be
come the controlling political quantity
This, of course. Is merely nightmare.
Aa a matter of fact, few American
farmers of the class that are going tc
Canada know or care anything about
the Monroe doctrine. They are going
there to build homes, to develop thf
laud and to make money. None wouK
be so amazed as themselves to leart
that England is excited In the appre
hension that they are political agl
tators they who have more concert
for their crops than for all the poll
tics In the world. It is not a political
conquest of Canada by the American!
that England needs to fear. It is an
Industrial and commercial conquest.
ALARM TO WAKEN THE DEAF.
Of Course Ther Do Not Hear It, but
Slumber Take Its Flight.
An alarm clock for deaf mutes is th
novel invention of Elza CreUser, a deal
mute in the employ of the Washes
smelling plant, who resides at 15 Uircb
street, says the Anaconda Standard
IIov to awake at a certain hour ha
long been a problem among these un
fortunate people, and in Mr. Cretzer'i
invention the solution has been found
Of course, the ordinary alarm clock
has been useless. Mr. Cretzer, who ii
an Ingenious fellow. Is a water and
flume tender at the Washoe smelter
Ilis work necessitates his rising at ar
early hour in the morning, and as h
has no means of awakening he has lost
many days of work by being late. IU
accordingly set about Inventing an ap
paratus by which Ue could always b
on time.
The dropping of a pillow on th
sleeping person Is the awakening agent
and It Is operated so that the pillow
falls at the desired time. An ordinary
alarm clock is placed in a cigar boi
which fits It closely. It Is then nailed
to the wall at the bead of the bed. A
string connects the clapper of the alarm
clock with an ordinary spring mousi
trap fastened to the top of the cigai
box. By a system of small pulleys cnt
screw eyes a pillow Is fastened to thi
end of a string and pulled to the ceil
ing directly above the bed. An Ingen
ious arrangement connects the othei
end of the string to the mouse trap
The dock is set, and when the alarm
goes off the string attached to the licl
clapper springs the mouse trap and re
leases the pillow, which drops on tbt
persons sleeping in the bed beneath
"When It does not hit me It hits mj
wife," Mr. Cretzer wrote on a piece oi
paper, "and so I never miss a day anj
more."

If there were not another ixiern&l
di-ease known, eczema alone would lie
a sufficient Inlliclion on mankind. It
pervades all classes, and descends 1m-panl-tUy
throtigl generations. While
some are constantly enveloped in It,
others have it con fined to mtihII
patches in the tars, on the scalp, on
the breast, on the palms of the hands,
on tiio limbs, etc., but everywhere its
distinctive feature is a nuall watery
blister, which discharges an acrid
fluid, causing heat, i ntlnmmaUon, and
intense Itching. Ring-worm, titter,
scalled head, dandruff, belong to this
scaly and itching order of diseases.
Psoriasis, our modern leprosy, with
its mother-of-pearl scale, situated on
a reddened base, which bleeds npon
the removal of the scale, Is to be
dreaded and avoided, as of old. Im
petigo, barter's Itch, erysipelas, and a
score of minor disorders make up in
p.vt the catalogue of external diseases
of the. skin. Thus far we have made
no allusion to those afflictions which
are manifestly impurities of the blood,
viz.; swelling of the glands of the
throat, ulcers on the neck and limiis,
tumors, ab-cesses, and mercurial
poisons, with loss of hair, becausu
the whold list can be comprehended in
the one word scrofula.

"Apropos of the recent death of
'! houit :ast, the eartoonlst," said the
Ioctor, "I am reminded that I have
M bsrne Nast's djuble-paRi; picture rep
resenting the grief of tho nation over
the death of Lincoln. It was a mag
nificent eniblainatic picture, published
without title or Hue of explanation.
In the center was the coffin, marked
'Lincoln,' and bending over it the fig
ure of Columbia. To the right, In the
upper corner, was the figure of a sol
dier, with bond bowed aud face half
hidden, and in the left corner the fig
ure of an army ollicer who hud thrown
himself down in utti-r jp!;lr
"I kept the picture lss-anse of that
officer's figure. The dropping of the
arms, the drooping head, and nerve
less body, expressed so truly my own
feeling when I heard of Lincoln's death
that It seemed to me N'ast bad put him
self lu the soldier's place, and 1 have tho
picture now, as well an the ones that
came later, emblematic of the victory
won by the army and navy and the
dawn of peace. It Is n mistake to say
that Nast waited until bis later years
to give his Idea of Lee's surrender.
He gave It at the time of the surren
der. 'In his doulile-piige picture 'Messed
Are the Peacemakers.' he drew on one
ide Christ's entry Into Jerusalem on
Palm Sunday and on the other the
lurrender of Iee. In the latter Grant
dominated the scene, and standing In
the ernler of the picture seemed taller
than Ijee and the more stately figure.
I know that Nast clung tenaciously to
!his Idea, even when talking to Con
federate ollicerR, and that in his large
painting he followed the Hues marked
out In the cartoon of April, IS'io,
Messed Are the Peacemakers.'"
"I have one of Xast's pictures." said
the Sergeant, "a little one published
early In IStio. when Lincoln was at
City Point. The President Is seated
on a stunip. with his long legs stretch
ed out to their full length anil support
ing a drum, on which the President Is
writing a note to Stanton, saying: 'AH
seems well with us.' Under the pic
ture was the line 'From Our Regular
Correspondent.' , The picture was the
more timely because at that time the
War Department was publishing for
the Information of the people the Prcs-
d"it's brief notes from the front. The
cartoon was very satisfying to tha
boys In the army, for Just then things
were Indeed going very well with us.
"Nast never made a war scene as any
other artist would have made It, and
he always wanted to be first with an
Idea, Several times be was fretted
because the slow work on Harper's
Weekly made It appear that some of
his cartoons, prepared days before,
were not unlike those appearing about
the sometime In the daily newspapers.
In 1872 he prepared a cartoon In which
Horace Greeley was represented as go
ing down into a pit crowded with the
Democratic Issues be had opposed snd
leaders be bad abused. On the day
that the cartoon was published, I).
it. locke, published in the Toledo
Blade a Nasby letter elaborating the
same Idea.
"Nasby lo'd; Gr -eley down among
Hie ghosts of his old political alalia-
tions and desrih,d hi wav the
scene which Nast pictured. There
were two greatly disturbed men that
lay Nast, fearing that the public
would Jump to the conclusion that he
bad stolen his Idea from Nasby and
the latter fearing that Nast and the
public would believe he had borrowed
bis Idea from the carioouist. A com
parison of notes and dates, however,
lhowed the two men had been work
ing on the Idea for two weeks, and
that the suggestion came to each about
the same time. But as Nasby was
wont to remark, neither one of them
rould prove It to the satisfaction of the
public."
"I was present," said the Colonel,
"at the meeting In 1870, at which Gen
eral Thomas L. Crittenden of our old
corps presented to Nast, In the name
tt 8.500 army and naval officers, as
testimonial of their regard, a loving
sup shaped like a canteen. At that
meeting It was clear that not a few
Confederates had a liking for Nast,
ne of Mosby's men saying to me that
N'ast's pictures of rebel guerrillas were
the real boys, and they forgave blm
lis bitterness because of the fine
iplrlt he put Into men and horses."
That reminds me," said the Cap
tain, "of an unusual experience with
tome of Mosby's men. I was In hos
pital In Washington July, 1WVI, when
tubal Early msde his raid on tbe cap
ital snd a little later I started to re
turn to my command In the Sbenao
loah valley. When we reached tbe
Mid of the railroad from Harper's fer
y to Winchester we had to take am
tmlnnces and horses to reach the front.
'. was a little slow In leaving tbe car
tnd as there was no room for me in
:be ambulance myself and comrade,
nucb against our will, took horses and
ode off.
"This saved us, because Mosby's
nen rslded or line that night and
very man In the ambulance was re
torted killed. This led o retaliation
n Sheridan's part, who shot some of
4osby's asm, and Mosby In turn snot
of Rhertdaa's ssoa bold aa prlo-
oners. After the war. I met the Cap
tain who In one case curried out
Mosby's orders to hang fifteen pris
oners. He told me that on his way to

burled by the victorious enemy. This
news nearly killed his affectionate

depict their unspeakable astonishment
when, six months after the buttle, the
young man entered the door of his
home, hearty and well.
Briefly told, his story was this:
He had been left severely wounded
with many others on the battlefield.
After the fight was over and his
friends retreated, a Confederate sol
dier, supposing Roberts dead, began
to rifle his pockets. The Yankee re

had taken and gave him a drink. Then

his way to Dodgevllle without delay,
where for many a day he was looked
on as one who bad risen from tbe dead.
