There is probably no country on the American Continent where the life of the farmer carries with it that assur ance of comfort ami success as doea Western Canada. Nor Is there to be fouad anywhere else such a pleasant combination. Game abounds every \t here and nowhere does it afford such perfect amusement. A noted sports man writing of the favorite pastime says: "There is one particular spot where I saw a man drop seventy mal lards one morning and bring them ail to hag, too, for they dropped In open water or on flat prairie. At the right season of the year you can seo black lines and triangles cut sharply out against the sky all round you, moving very swiftly, and you begin to wonder whether you have enough cartridges to hold out. You can hear the prair.e chicken crowing like barn-door fowls, and a little to the northeast is a bit of marshy ground, cattle-poached and dappled with gleaming pool3, where (lie snipe are nearly as thick as mos quitoes. A thin column of blue smoko curling up in the distance shows you where a few wandering Indians havo pitched their camp, but there Is no other indication of civilization In sight. Still, the neighborhood is well settled, and a short drive v .11 bring you to a farmhouse, where you can buy the finest butter and the fiestaa eggs for uncivilized prices. A very short railway journey will bring you to a country full of deer and the lordly wapiti, the king of the deer tribe the world over, and down on the flat, boggy land by the lake shores the moose will stand knee deep In water on the summer evenings ready to lie down when the flics get bothering. All day you breathe the wild free air of the prairie, and at night you are lulled to sleep by the surge and ripple and splash of the waves on the beach, broken now and then by the wierd banshee-cry of strange water-fowl.” Particulars regarding settlement of the lands of Western Canada can be had from any agent of the Canadian gov ernment, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in your columns.

The American Missionary associa tion makes public a report from one of its representatives in Nashville, Tenn., concerning the death rate among the negroes of the south. The report states that in the represen tative southern cities for the past five years the death rate of the whites has been 20 in 1,000; that of the colored people 32, in 1,000. The south is said not to have shown much concern about tlie rapid increase of the negro, since the census of 1900 made it appear that in the ten years previous the black race increased 24 per cent and white 23.91 per cent. The death rate of the negro is greatest under the age of 15 and least at the higher ages. The race is subject to a higher death rate than the whites from the following diseases: 1. Consumption at all ages, but especially between the ages of 15 and 45. 2. All diseases of infants. The colored mother too often does not ! know how to take care of her Infant. 3. ' Pneumonia at all ages. Scrofula and I contagious diseases seem also on tha increase. New IJbrnr.T S< lienie.

I BY AIRSHIP TO THE MAN IN THE MOON TMf\Al*5Ml* LUNA ( (PLYING KTWUN ' eorfALO AND )y THf f NTR»n"i'N' - w'"~ c ' itNAA LAMDiCA»t That queer old fellow the Man iu the Moon and that funny old woman who rode the broomstick long before we people of the earth thought of the di vided skirt may be visited now. Per haps the flying machine that can fly has yet to be bulit, but the flying ma chine, that seeming to fly, takes one to the land of Selenltes is already here and forms a unique attraction at the Pan-American Exposition. Tho mech anism, Including the use of liquid air, Is exceedingly Ingenious, and the scen ic effects. In all their perfection of de tail, never have been seen before. Leaving the Midway, one passes into a structure which represents a depot or lobby. This Is 55 by 70 feet, and from there a flight of steps leads to the second story waiting room. Prom this waiting room open two electric scenic theaters to create the Impression that it Is night, as the flight is produced with night effects. Through an open ing one looks out over the house tops and over the town lying below him. which creates the illusion that people have passed up to a greater height than the second floor, as the flight of the airship Is apparently from the top story of a building much higher than its neighbors. While the captain is telling the audience the secret of aerial navigation an airship, the Luna, ap pears to be crossing the sky at a dis tance of about ten miles. Then it is heard coming to a landing in the Moon building, adjoining. The noise and con fusion of landing is similar to that heard in one of the ferry houses in New York when the boat is coming in to the slip. When all is ready the doors to that part are opened and the travelers pass out into the Theater of Planets. Theatre of the riunets. This theater Is 110 feet by 120. spanned by trusses seventy feet in the clear from the ground. The wall, sides and top, Is an oval and is a huge can vas sixty feet high, which has been painted so that, with the proper light effects, is gives an impression of the firmament in view. In the center of this oval is an imitation airship, with huge aerial planes, monstrous wings, propellers, engine room, operating rooms, staterooms, decks, etc. This structure is 100 feet long, 20 font beam, and is operated so as to give a repre sentation of an airship or balloon in space. One really imagines while standing on the deck that he Is soar ing through space. Surrounding this is a series of eighteen circular drops, taking up the full diameter inside the oval canvas, and by means of con cealed supports these drops can be raised and lowered to the horizon and kept In proper perspective as the air ship appears to soar away from thj earth to the moon. Suspended above rnd below the trusses of the structure is a series of runways, from which are operated all the moving planets and the queer contortions of the people In tho air that surround thp ship during its flight. Special monstrous blowing machines are connected with the air ship in such a way that the winds sweep the deck in reality, and small motors operate the liquid air pumps and various machines used for power and creating an anti-gravitational force. Wind machines, thunder drums and other stage properties pro duce the storm effects and electrical phenomena which occur in crossing tho milky way. ttrpnrlure of the Airship luna. Once in the Theater of the Planets the travelers stand on the landing midst the roofs of various structures and see lying before them the monster airship. In the soft moonlight the airship looks almost the size of an ocean liner, and a view from this point is weird indeed. The airship appar ently is in midair, the stern lying about ten feet from the housetop and is rolling slightly under a gentle breeze and with no apparent support. The gangplank is thrown out, the inter vening ten feet of space is crossed over and the people pass through the cab ins out onto the open deck. The view presented here is of the Exhibition in the foreground, with all its illumina tion. Then is felt the motion of the start of the airship, the wind increases, the wings flap and the aerial planes belly full with the increased air pres sure. The earth appears to be sinking away and the travelers lose the view of the Exhibition, of Niagara River and Falls and Lake Erie and gradually the horizon of the earth. The stars in crease in size to planets and sail by, tvhile others dim off in the distance, and the feeling is perfect of being in boundless space, with the starlit sky below and overhead. A series of queer forms surrounds the ship in fantastic movement. These are operated on the principle of the marionette. The Old Woman on the broom, with her black gown anti cap, rides by alongside of the airship and apparently is skimming through space unsupported. When in full view of the audience her gown and cap disappear and leave a pretty woman aeriallst robed in white to “do her turn" on the broom and then she, like the gown and cap. quickly disappears in space. The captain gives a semi-scientiflc talk during the entire flight, and tells the tourists that when they get fully clear of the earth's gravitation the op erator creates a center of gravitation of the ship’s own at a point on a com pass for which it is steering. The moon Is seen to cross the line of sight from above and sinks below, and when the tourists have come to a point above the airship settles down upon the surface. The surface is a mass of extinct craters as becomes a dead plan et. Arrival At tlie Moon. All art? invited to leave the ship and pass out on the surface, and then down through one of the yawning cra ters, through massive gorges and cav erns, and are brought up at last at the gates of the City of the Moon. In the cavern lining the road on eith er side appears a mass of fungi and queer-shaped growth, and the illumin ation of this cavern is specially at tractive because of the great number of blowholes or small craters, through which light glows. On guard at the city gates are several giants. Passing through the gates the tourists enter a wonderful underground city. The illuminated blowholes or small craters are used profusely throughout the city iu connection with unique and beauti ful electrical displays. The main street of this city, which is traversed, is 400 feet long and lined on either side by shops and palaces of Selenites. A mass of illuminated foliage lines the ave nues. This city is peopled entirely by midgets and liliputians made up in quaint manner and the travelers pass through the city and view them at their occupations. Side streets branch off in various directions, and the whole presents a labyrinth, elaborate in de tail of finish of inconceivable magni tude. Cast!** of tlirt Man In tlis Moon. From there the tourists pass to the end of the street and then on through me gates which lead to the castle of the .nan in the Moon. The front of the castle is i0 feet high, but presents an appearance of 200, with moat and drawbridge, battlements and turrets. Crossing tho moat, the castle of the Man in the Moon is entered and the people are guided to the throne of His Excellency the Man in the Moon. | The celling is a solid mass of illumin ! ated flowers, and an enormous cove is j supported by glass columns 18 inches in diameter, eac h one containing an j electric fountain in which the water constantly Is changing color. At the ! end of the room is the throne, which [ is occupied by n queer midget lmper I sonating the Man in the Moon. The I tourists are made welcome to the do j main of Luna by the Maid of the Moon on behalf of His Majesty, and then at his command the little girls who are the mauls of his court form before his throne a beautiful ballet with striking light effects. ; Then the lights dim down and one of j the employes of the depot on earth opens a door and bids all wake up and "pass out this way for Buffalo.” Filing ! through the door indicated, the tour ists enter the lobby on the ground floor at. the opposite side to that by which they went up stairs to the waiting room. HAD BAD LUCK WITH TEETH. Mi-fjrlunci of Woman Who Itcqalred Services of Dentist. A dentist enjoying an extensive prac tice among the fashionable people of the south side relates this peculiar ex perience of on of his patrons: "She was a rather pretty young married wo man,” he says, "but her upper front teeth were so badly discolored and de fective as to greatly mar her appear ance. Her husband after much per suasion induced her to have two of the worst replaced w'ith artificial teeth. I made such a neat Job of it that she was delighted. The tw’o teeth were on a plate, and she wore them to bed the first night she had them. During the night they fell from her mouth to the floor, and when she got up in the morning she trod on them and broke the plate all to pieces. I reset the teeth on another plate and she went home again with thpm. That night she put them in a glass of wa ter on the mantel. Her husband got up in the night to get a drink of water, and finding something in the tumbler, threw' the contents out of the front window, thus disposing of the second set in three days. Then I mails her a third set. These she put on the mantel when she retired and forgot to replace them in the morning. The maid while dusting the room swept these off into the grate underneath the mantel, w’hore they burned up. The family moved out of town a few days afterward, so whether she got a fourth set of teeth I do not know.”—Chicago Chronicle.

Suverkrop of | Philadelphia, who, during trips to ; South America, has for some years been contributing to the collection of his friend, Prof. N\ E. Brown of the | Herbarium, Kew Gardens, London. The amazing plant which Mr. Suver krop has now found in an orchid that takes a drink whenever it feels thirsty by letting down a tube into the water. _ the tube, when not in use, being coiled up on top of the plant. “One hot afternoon,” says Mr. Suver krop, “1 sat down under some brush wood at the side of a lagoon on the | Rio de la Plata. Near at hand was a | forest of dead trees, which had actu I ally been choked to death by orchids ! and climbing cacti. “Among the orchids I noted one dif ferent from the rent, the leaves, sharp lanrehend shaped, growing ail around the root and radiating from it. From ♦ he center or axis of the plant hung a long slender stem about one-eightii of an inch thick by one-fourth incli wide, the lower end of which was in the water to a depth of about four inches. "I at once went over to examine my discovery. Imagine my surprise when I touched the plant to see this center stem gradually contract and convul sively roll Itself up in a spiral like a roil of tape. “But more surprising vet was the ob ject and construction of this stem. I found on close examination and dis section that it was a long slender flat, tube, the walls about 1.32 of an inch thick, cellular in construction, open at the outer end and connected at the inner end to the roots by a series of hair-like tubes. “'By subsequent observation I found that when the plant was in want of water this tube would gradually un wind until it dipped into the water. Then it would slowly coil reund and wind up, carrying with it tl.e amount of water that that part of the tube which had been Immersed contained until when the final coil was taken the water was dumped, as it were, direct into the roots of the plant. The coil remained in this position until the plant required more water. Should the plant, however, be touched while the tube is extended, the orchid acts like the sensitive plant (mimosa) and the coiling action is much more rapid. "I found many of these plants, all directly over the water or over where the water had been. In the lattei case it was almost pitiful to see how this tube would work its way over the ground in scareh of the water that was not.” I RISKED LIFE FOR HORSES.

Friends would not think of entering or leaving a house without shaking hands, not only with the host and hostess, but all oth er guests who might be preseut, and the ladies would kiss each other, both coming and going, on both cheeks. They even observe this formality upon the occasion of a chance meeting on the street or in the car. Gentlemen ac quaintances passing each other on the street either tip their hats as they would to a lady, or at least salute each other with the hand by touching the liat, or more of a military fashion. Gentlemen who are old friends stop and shake hands, and pass compli ments of the day, and if they have not met for some time they will un doubtedly go through what is termed the "bear hug"—put their arms around each other and pat each other on the back, one passing one arm over the shoulder of his friend the other under his arms, while the second party oc cupies a reverse position. When this embrace is concluded they shake hands and tip their hats, at the time mur muring the conventional words of greeting. They then are ready to inquire as to the health of the re spective members of the two families. Gentlemen shake hands with many of their friends l>oth upon entering and leaving a street car. The inspector of the tickets on the cars will shake hands with a number of his regular passengers every morning, clerks be hind the counter of a dry goods store will shake hands with the customers that they know, and when the em ployes of a mercantile establishment assemble in the morning the formal greeting is never omitted.—Modern Mexican.
