K. Lent was a delegate sent from the farmers of Allegan County, Michigan, to Western Canada, to re port on the prospects for successful settlement. His report is as follows: I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton, thence east one hundred miles by wagon. I found the country in that vicinity a rich, black loam, varying from 12 inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are simply something enormous; wheat and oats by actual measure ment often standing five fe;t. In height. I have been a farmer for forty years, and consider myself a fair judge of the yield of grain, and I saw wheat that would yield 50 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 seen their equal for all kinds except corn and tomatoes;the nights being too cool for these to ripen well. As a stock country it has no equal. East of Ed montoni on the head waters of the Vermillion River, I saw hay meadows containing from 10 to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet high, and would often cut 3 to 4 tons to the acre. From Edmonton I passed through some fine locations, namely, Weja skiwin, Lacombe and other points. From McLeod I went to Regina, thence to Prince Albert, 247 miles north of the main line. For the first fifty miles is fine farming country, but the next hundred miles is more of a stock country. Then at Saskatoon, Rosthern and Duck I-ake I found some very fine farming country, so good that I found a party of Americans 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. I have traveled over twenty-three different States and Territories in our Union, and never in my life time have I ever seen such magnificent crops and especially as fine a stock country. The river supplies a mouth for the face of nature. IKONINO A SIIIKT WAIST. Not infrequently a young woman finds it necessary to launder a shirt waist at home for some emergency when the iaundryman or the home ser vant cannot do it. Hence these direc tions for ironing the waist: To iron summer shirt waists so that they will look like new it is needful to have them starched evenly with Defiance starch, then made perfectly smooth and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be laid away two or three hours. When irouing have a bowl of water and a clean piece of muslin beside the iron ing board. Have your iron hot, but not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso lutely clean. Iiegin by ironing the back, then the front, sides and the sleeves, followed by the neckband and the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap ply the damp cloth and remove them. Always iron from the top of the waist to the bottom. If there are plaits in the front iron them downward, after first raising each cne with a blunt knife, and with the edge of the iron follow every line of stitching to give it distinctness. After the shirt waist is ironed it should be well aired by the fire or in the sun before it is folded and put away, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. WEARING THE SWORD EMBLEM OF AUTHORITY SANCTION ED BY THE AGES. Military Pomp mh«I Glory Would Amount to IJttle Without I hut Adorn* in e nt—('ailed the ailleut leather of Patriot Wm. For centuries, in armies, the sword has been the emblem of authority. It is a sign that the man wearing it is an officer and is on duty. The figures on his straps or his collar may show the grade of his office, but the sword shows without his telling it that he is on duty and represents authority. Having the sanction of hundreds of years as the emblem of authority, what substitute could lie adopted to show that an offi cer is on duty? The patrolman has s club, which shows t hat he is on duty —would such a badge he less cumber some than the sword for a military officer? There is reason to believe that foi years to come the emblems of visible authority like the sword will be need ed. Every year legislatures are devis ing schemes to keep up a well-disci plined militia, but who of those having experience would think of discipline and soldierly conduct without th< sword-bearing officer? Even the en listed man who refers to his officer1! sword as it "toad-stauber’1 will appeal to be no soldier upon examination Who would accept a commission 01 who would go to the expense of pur chasing a resplendent suit of military clothing and equipment if the sword should he abolished? In such an event that maivcl of gold lace and cocked hat. known as the governor’s staff mignt be mistaken for an over-dressec battalion of privates if their loin were not begirt with the authorizing sword. r rom tile earliest period of which there is record the sword lias been the synonym of authority and power, li was "a flaming sword which turner every way" that kept man from steal ing back to the useless life of the Gar den of Eden; it was the cry of "the sword of the Lord and of Gideon which made the army of 300 victorious The man wearing the sword has been the leader in the struggle for free dom. The sword Is everywhere associated with robust patriotism, it is "the sword of Bunker Hill" that. In the song oi that name, rouses tlie spirit of patriot ism. Substitute for the sword any other emblem of authority, the billy, for in stance. and what would become of the soul-stirring song. In thousands of homes, north ar.d south, ran be found, hanging in some conspicuous place, a rusty old sword. It is the mute witness of a four years’ struggle over a prin ciple. Grandfathers tell grandchildren where that rusty old sword has been, and what the wearer saw, and of the deeds of which he was a part. It will lemain for generations to come the silent teacher of patriotism. INDIAN PRAIRIE DOG HUNTS. j These L.tttl«* AnlintiU a Dainty Dish by the Navajos. Denver, Dee. 18.—The Navajo Indian, while he cannot be prevailed upon to eat a rabbit, is greedily fond of fat prairie dogs. Large communities ol these small animals abound on the western plains, and the Navajo has re sorted to many ingenious methods for trapping his coveted dainty. One of them is by the aid of a bit of mirror placed at the entrance of a burrow. When the animal ventures from his bedroom, deep under ground, he sees a familiar image mocking him at the front door and he hurries out to con front the impudent intruder, when he is pinned to the ground with an arrow. But the most effective method is what the Indians call the rain hunt. As soon as the steady downpour of summer rains begins every Navajo who can walk repairs to the prairie dog village with hoes, sharp sticks, or any digging implement. With these they hollow out trenches that will lead the storm water into as many burrows as possi ble. Soon a little stream is pouring down each small home and the inmate, much disturbed, pops out to see what the matter can be. Many of the ani mals remain under ground until they are drowned and their bodies float to the surface. After such a hunt, in which many pounds of prairie dogs are generally secured, there is a feast for many days in the Navajo huts. “Doon WI* the Doo.” John Henry Alexander, who ran theaters in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dum fries and Carlisle in the first half of the nineteenth century, had, like a good many actor-managers, a high opinion if himself. Hence he was politely 3tyled "Alexander the Great." One night during a play he had to fire a gun at a bird, the discharge being fol lowed by the fall on the stage of a 3tuffed bird. Alexander fired, but no oird fell. Shaking his fist at the •property man” aloft, he muttered in ludible tones, "Doon wi’ the doo, man. Joon wi’ the doo.” And by and by, lruidnt shrieks of labor, there dropped into tlio stage the figure of a ”doo,” or pigeon. i'Mlftszonni le* In 1’ersla.

Without making any undue clamor about it or Keeking the aid of capital ists or the Commercial club, the man ufacturers of Defiance Starch started in business in Omaha a little over a year ago, and from every indication they have already achieved triumph ant success. The local pntrons, who were induced to try it by reason of its being purely a home industry and en terprise, have discovered an article manufactured right here in their midst superior to any Btarch ever be tore used by them. There are, however, excellent rea sons retailers and jobbers are giving preference to the product of this com pany aside from any consideration of the home patronage idea. "Defiance Starch” is unequalled for excellence and is fast supplanting other starches among careful housewives throughout the territory west of Chicago. It is true that the progressive and energetic management of the company is doing some strenuous and effective work in acquainting the public with the superior quality by expending from $5,000 to $0,000 per month in ad vertising, but, after ail, "the proof of the pudding is the eating," and it is from the excellent results obtained by those who have been Induced to use it on trial that this splendid Omaha production obtains its widest and most profitable publicity. It lias taken ko well from the start that the factory is being taxed to meet the demand, while the company keeps twenty-five sales men on the road and is shipping its goods to every state and territory west of Chicago. “Defianee Starch" is pronounced to be not only the best starch on tho market, but the least expensive to the consumer. It is a cold water starch and needs no cooking. Yet for that class of goods where boiled starch is required, this same "Defiance Starch" excels the old-fashioned gloss or lump starch. It gives a better finish, works easier, goes further, therefore costs less. Not only this, the lump starch will blow out and freeze out. which Is not the case with "Defiance Starch." The ingredients are such that no chemicals, the presence of which in many other starch compounds has proven injurious to linens, are re quired in its manufacture. It contains nothing that can in the slightest de gree injure the most delicate fabric, which must commend it highly to those who have had their garments ruined by the use of other starches. "Defiance Starch” contains Ingredi ents that remedy all the objectionable features of other starches. It will not blister, nor does it break the fabric, it does not stick to the iron during the process of ironing and does not stamp unsightly streaks upon colored goods. It gives a beautiful, stiff and durable finish to fabrics and makes them look new. roBHessing so many pomis or supe riority over rival preparations, and avoiding so many of the latter's faults, it is somewhat surprising to note that one can secure for the same amount of money one-third more of the Omaha-made article than of any other. Heretofore starch consumers have been paying ten cents for a twtlve ounce package of starch. A package of “Defiance Starch” weighs sixteen ounces and costs no more. Its manu facturers offer no chromos nor prem iums to encourage its sale, but they do offer a better starch than any other, and one-third more of it. Having utilized every medium of ex cellence which modern Ingenuity has : devised In the preparation of its pro- j duct, this Starch Manufacturing Com pany offered their "Defiance Starch” with the most firm conviction that it would give perfect satisfaction, and the results of a year's work have proven that they made no mistake. Many a miserable commodity is sold by the use of premiums, but “Defiance Starch” stands on its own merits. Its i makers guarantee all consumers that dealers are authorized to take back j any starch that a customer claims to ! find unsatisfactory in any way.—Om- ( aha Examiner, November 23.
