SEEDING IN PROGRESS IN WEST
ERN CANADA.
Mild "Weather Is Briiiirins Thousands
of Settlers.
The splendid yields of wheat , oat.c
and barley produced by the farmers of
Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same , have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
As a result the inquiries made of the
.agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad com
panies are putting on increased car
rying capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying passen
gers and freight. Everything points tc
a most prosperous year. There is room
for hundreds of thousands additional
settlers , much new laud having been
opened up for settlement this year.
It is quite interesting to look
through the letters received , from the
Americans who have settled in'West
orn Canada during the past few years ,
and considering the large number , i :
is surprising how few there * are whc
have not succeeded. An extract from
a hitter written by Mr. Geo. 'WC Gris
wold , of Rejl Deer , Aita. , formerly
of Greber , Mont , written on the 2 < 3
of January , is as follows :
"I am locatedone and one half mile. ;
from a beautiful lake ten , , miles long ,
where theie ; is church , schdol , thre- ?
stores , creamery and two postoffices.
The fine stock , both cattle ( cows and
steers ) , horses , hogs and sheep are roll
ing fat , grazing in pastures to-day ,
just a little snow , hardly enough foi
good sleighing , as we just had a clii-
nook which has melted the roads ami
laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat , oats , barley and fla\
raised here , also winter wheat an
timothy hay for export to British Co
lumbia. This is a mixed fanning am
dairy country. This is the right time
to get a 'foothold in the Canadiai
West , as it was some years ago in the
'
United Stat'es. We are free from wind
gumbo and alkali here and have fine
clear , soft well and spring water
a depth of from five to twenty-fiv * .
feet , and lots of open overflowing
springs. "
Teiegrapliic advices from Medicine

During the last few days in Feb

near Lethbridge. P. A. Pulley , a re

and harrowed fifteen acres and E. Lai-

The Power of
PHYSICIAN who has been bitten by a dog
which was'declared to be rabid , but which Avas
killed before the truth could be ascertained ,
has refused to undergo the Pasteur treatment.
lie believes hydrophobia to be a rare if not a
purely imaginary malady , and as he has too
much strength of mind to be frightened into
a nervous condition he confidently expects to suffer no all
consequences from the bite. If , however , hydrophobia shall
develop he Avill retain his AA'its as long as possible and
record his sensations for the benefit of science.
It is difficult to realize how great may be the control
of the bodily organs by the mind. A New Orleans doctor
reports the results of an experiment to determine the
influence of the imagination on the stomach. To one hun
dred patients he gave a simple mixture of sugar and watei %
telling each to take the dose at once. Returning to the sick
room In apparent haste and alarm he would ask if the
medicine had been administered. Then he would display
great agitation , saying he had given by mistake a powerful
emetic. Eighty-five of the patients immediately suffered
distinct emesis , as though iliey had , in fact , taken the
alleged medicine.
In several instances of death from alleged hydrophobia
It has been clear tliatjmaglnation had produced the nervous
condition Avhich resulted fatally , and while most physicians
admit that there is such a disease , the best informed doubt
whether it has been the cause of more than one in every
dozen "hydrophobia" deaths. Philadelphia Record.
Worry Wrecks.
, m HOUSANDS of people every year actually
TT g worry themselves to death by allowing their
I minds to dwell on morbid subjects.
Many thousands more , while not actually
worrying themselves into their graves , ma
terially impair their health , moral , mental and
physical , and weaken their power by the
sarui baneful process.
The idea that is
one unfortunately placed In life or
that one has some incipient disease , the thought of financial
failure or of unsatisfactory progress any of the thousand
and one worries that ought to act as a tonic and a spur
to effort are by thousands accepted as ground for soul-
fleadening worry and discourqgeemnt.
The little magazine called Suggestion says that a melan
choly ; thoughtvhich fixes itself upon one's mind needs as
much doctoring as physical disease. It needs to be eradi
catei from the mind or it will have just the same result
a neglected disease would have. Every melancholy
thought and every morbid action and every nagging worry
should be resisted to the utmost , and the patient should be
protected by cheerful thoughts , of which there is a boun
tlful store in every one's possession. Bright companions
are cheaper than drugs and plasters.
The morbid condition of mind produces a morbid condi
tion of body , and if the disease does happen to be in the
system < it receives every encouragement to develop. We
'need more mental therapy. Dea Moiues Xews.
The Inefffciency of the Torpedo.
F the naval lessons of the war , surely the most it
valuable , and certainly the most surprising , is
the comparative Inefficiency of the torpedo boat.
In not a single case has the torpedo boat been
able to send a Avar ship to the bottom. In the
first attack at Port Arthur , although the Rus
sian ships were at anchor and totally unpre
pared , the two battleships and the cruiser that were square
torpedoed remained afloat , and were able , next morning ,
steam in and beach themselves for investigation and
repair of the damage. The only possible exception was the
cruiser Boyariu , and in her case it is possible that it Avas as
floating mine and not a torpedo from a destroyer that
sank her. It seems to be impossible for a torpedo boat to up
within range , either by day or by night , of a warship

The : harmony in which Mr. and Mrs.

2ars was slightly rimed when , at the

"Jabez , " said his wife , firmly , "you

making a hit are very remote. In the various engagements ,
torpedoes appeared to have been fired by the score without
finding the mark ( except in the night surprise of Feb. 8) ) ,
a notable cas3 being that of the battleship Czarevitchj
which , after being terribly crippled by the concentrated
fire of four Japanese battleships , and with her speed cut
down to four knots an hour , Avas subjected to a night
attack by the Japanese destroyer ? , and yet seems to have
been able to beat them off and to make port the next
morning without being once struck by a torpedo. By all
the hnvs of torpedo-boat warfare , she should have been sent

Must Wives Be Self-Supporting ?
MERICAX women are ceasdng to find men to
marry them unless they are self-supporting.
This is the startling deduction made by the
United Stetca Bureau of Labor in its last re-
port. The marriage rate among women who
work and among women Avith money is much
higher than among women Avho are neither
workers nor rich , and the disproportion Is annually iny
asing.
All rich women , according to the statisticians , bave op-
portunities to marry , and generally speaking , all working
women have equal opportunities , but the women who must
depend on servants to do household work and on their
husbands to supply all the household income are being
driven from the matrimonial field. Fewer than one-half
of them marry IIOAV , and the percentage is steadily dimin
ishing. * * *
Nine per cent of the married women of the United
States work for wages apart from the performance of their
household duties. Twenty-three per cent add to the house
hold income by taking boarders. More than one family
in five has its children at work. More thau 20 per cent of
jthe earnings of the average American family comes from
the labor of the wife and the children.
The old type of American who supported by his own
earnings his wife and bis children , whose home Avas bis
own and who occupied an Independent place In the com
munity , is disappearing. Marriage is becoming more and
more a commercial partnership where the man and the
wife pool their earnings , or a fashionable festivity where
the fortune of tho wife added to the Income of the husf1
band maintains a social establishment until divorce doth
them part. New York World.
Casualties in War.
N round figures the casualties on the Federal
side during the whole four years of the re
bellion amounted to 50,000 killed and 350,000
wounded. This was undoubtedly the bloodiest
Avar of modern times , although , if credence
could be given to the dubious reports emanat
ing from Russian and Japanese sources , tho
war in the Orient , only one year old , would seem to equal-
already in losses suffered and Inflicted.
But It is highly probable that when the truth has been
sifted out of the wild and extravagant estimates , the num
ber of dead and Avoundcd in the Manclmrian armies will
be materially reduced. A newspaper story is usually less
conservative than a historic account. The war in the
Orient has in fact been fought in a comparatively humane
way. Except in rare instances , the greatest of care and a
consideration have been paid to captives and the wounded.
The medical departments of both contending armies are
organized , equipped and run according to modern Ideas
to such things. The Red Cross corps and hospitals haAre
been respected and the rules of ciA'ilizecl war carefully lived
to. Only on one or two occasions during the assaults
upon Port Arthur has there been any rumor that quarter to

TRIAL OF FEROCIOUS WARDEN.

Score of Persons Kurnctl t ° Death In
New 1'orlc Tenciueut.
At least : i score of persons were burn
ed to death , several were so badly hurt
that they may die and forty others rc-
cci ed slighter injnri"s in : i fire that de
stroyed a five-story New York tenement
house early Tuesday. The fire had gain
ed great headway before it became
known to most of the tenants and many
of them were cut off before they could
make an attempt to save themselves.
Scores were carried from the blazin
building. Firw.en climbed the walls on
their ladders , braved the flames and
reached the imperiled tenants.
Crowded lire escapes in the rear of the
tenement house were largely responsible
for so many deaths .and injuries among
its population , which approached 200.
The scenes about the building after the
fire Avhen the search for the dead was
begunere heartrending. Nothing so
pitiable had been seen in New York
since the Slocnm disaster.
The fire 'started in the basement , oc
cupied by Isaac Davishis wife and three
children. Davis had been out Monday
night and returned to his home early
Tuesday morning , went into his store on
the same floor just in time to see a kero
sene lamp in the rear explode. He awoke
his wife and both tried to put out the
flaming lamp , but without success , and
then l gave all their attention to getting
their children out of the building. A po
liceman who heard the * cry of alarm
rushed to the scene and every effort Avas
made to rouse the sleeping persons in
the hott e.
Meantime the flames had spread with
startling rapidity , and when the persons
who had been asleep on the upper floors
awoke they found themselves confronted
by a Avail of flames on nearly every side.
On some of the fire escapes the rubbish
was packed so closely that it became
impossible to pass certain points , and
men , women and children stood liberally 11
roasting to death as the flames roared
through windows around them. Many
women flung their children into the arms
of men standing on the sidewalk.
.A fren/rii'il crowd gathered in front of
the police st.ition , weeping , wailing and
lamenting for the dead.As rapidly as
possible they were permitted to examine
the bodies in the court yard , where their
_
laments grew louder. Unable to recog-
nize their missing relatives in the char-
red , almost formless bodies they saw benu
fore them , many turned aAvay , faint and *
sick at the awful sight.
ANOTHER WAR IN THE SPRING.
Macedonia to Fip : t Turkey with Anna
Paid for by ? iliss Stone's Ransom.
Advices received in Washington make
it certain that as soon as the snow melts
in the Balkan mountains there is certain
to ' be war and destruction. The restrain
ing hand of Russia , which has prevented
hostilities . between Bulgaria and Turkey ,
is no longer forceful , and the attempts
which have been made by the Austrian
and Russian ambassadors at Constanti
nople to induce the Sultan to behave
properly have accomplished nothing. The
revolutionary element iu Macedonia hag
obtained fniuhs in some manner , and is
said to be well supplied with arms and
ammunition , while the Bulgarian governnny
inent has been preparing for war all
winter , and is likely to provoke an in-
Aasion by the Turks , which has been pre
vented by Russian influence for the past
three years. Being no longer in a posi
tion to intervene with arms , Russia Avill
not have so much influence.
To understand the situation it is nec
essary to go back three years to the
time when Miss Stone , the American
missionary , was a prisoner of the so-
called bandits really a band of conspir
ators representing the Macedonian com
mittee , which exists for the purpose of
emancipating Macedonia from Turkish
rule , has its headquarters at Sophia , Bul
garia , and spent her ransom for guna
and powder. This committee is A-ery
much like the junta that encouraged and
directed the revolution in Cuba from 1S9G
1S9S. It collects
funds , buys arms
and ammunition , and equips insurrec
tionary parties A\hich invade Macedonia
take revenge upon the Turkish oili-
cials for their cruelties to the people.
The Bulgarian government sympathizes
with the committpc ; almost every man , In
woman and child in the kingdom belongs
it. and contributes money for revolu
tionary purposes as a sacred duty. Up
this time Turkey has not attacked
Bulgaria because of fear of Russia , al- have are
though . ' the Sultan has had great provo
cation in the encouragement and assist
ance Avhich the Bulgarians haA-e given
the revolutionists across the border.

For Six Months Ho Could > 'ot Turn in

Uns Given Perfect Uelicf.
Tbo case of Mr. JIarston shows that
sciatica { \ can bo cured , and no one afflicted
by j ifc should allow himself to be dis
heartened. lie was first stricken about a
year ago , and for six months he suffered
pain which ho thinks tho most intense
that any mail could possibly stand.
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery , Mr. Marstou gave tho fol
lowing account : " I was attacked by a
numbness or dull feeling just back of my
right hip. I didn't know what the mat
ter was , but thought it was simply n
stiffness that would wear away iu n
short time. It didn't , however , and
soon tho pain became so very bad that
every step was torture for me. Wheu I
finally succeeded in getting home , it was
jnst as much as I could do to reach uiy
room and get to bed.
"The doctor was sent for , and when he
had examined me ho said I had sciatica.
He prescribed for mo , and advised me not
to try to leave my bed. The advice was
unnecessary for I couldn't get out oi
bed if I wanted to. It was impossible foi
me to turn from one side to the other.
The moment I attempted to move any
part of my body , tbe pain became so ex
cruciating that I would have to lie per
fectly motionless. '
" I suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then I dis
charged tho doctor , and on the advice oi
a friend I bought a box of Dr. Williams' '
Pink Pills and began to take them , three
at a dose , three times a day. I was de-
fermmed to give them a thorough trial.
"Two mouths after I began to use
them I was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house , and a month latei
I was entirely cured and able to go aboul
my work as usual. I think Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills aro the best medicine I evei
used , and I heartily recommend them tc
anyone who suffers from sciatica. "
