'To the Commissioner of Immigration ,
Winnipeg , Manitoba :
Dear Sir I , in company with my
brother and other relations , arrived in
ithis country in the spring of 3893. At
jthe time we got off the train at Wolse
, ley. .Sask. . we had only a few dollars ,
'not ' enough to start farming on our
own account , so we were compelled to
work out for a considerable time in or
der to make sullicient money to enable
us to establish ourselves. When \\e
thought we had money enough to start
with , I and my brother took up one
quarter-section (1GO ( acres ) land each
in the Loon Creek district. In 1)00 ! )
we moved on our homesteads with one
team of horses and one walking plow.
While I was engaged with the work in
the field , my brother built a shack and
barn of logs , which we had hauled dur
ing the time we were not able to work
In the Held. We were certainly work
ing very hard , but I am glad to saj
that we made our fortune in this coun
try. To-day we do not need to work
so hard as we used to do , as we have
three hired men steady , for whom we
pay ? : iO.OO to10.00 a month , besides
board and lodging during the summer
time. I am also glad to tell you that
to-day we are owners of -section and
three-quarters of the best land , with
first-class buildings thereon , besides
having all the necessary machinery.
We always do our own threshing , for
we have a lilMiorse-power threshing
outfit.
Our success in farming in this , coun
try also enabled us to get rid of a
number of horses of less value , and in
stead we bought ten pure-bred mare ?
representing a value in the neighbor
hood of § 5.000.
Regarding raising grain , which is tin
main factor in our district , I am prouc
to say that we have always had good
success. We have raised wheat as high as
thirty-five bushels to the acre ; and this
year , although we suffered from lacli
of sufficient rain , our wheat went twen
ty-seven bushels to the acre , and we
had 900 acres in crop. We have broken
this year about 100 acres new land
and by next year we will have aboii'
1,110 acres in crop. For one carload
of wheat which we have shipped a fe\\
weeks ago we got a price of 97 cents
per bushel , and it was graded as No
2 Northern , although we have a quan
tity of wheat which will surely go a
Xo. 1 Northern. During the six year
we have been fanning for ourselves , we
have never had one frost around here
EO that we always bad a good crop.
I. for myself , feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land whore
a person who is willing to work and
turn his hands to anything can make a
fortune , and a comfortable living. Our
country is a thoroughly free country.
and we have a good Government ; and.
as long as we have good crops and a
good Government , we are satisfied , and
1 think ihat is all we want.
Yours very truly ,
LORENS BLASER.

Rossetti secured permission in 18(59
to reopen the coffin of his wife in order
to secure the manuscripts of some
poems which he had buried with her
seven years before.
Some such incident might have oc
curred in connection with .7. M. W.
Turner if his desire to be buried
wrapped up in his own painting of
"Carthage" had been carried out.
There was some difficulty in selling the
pa'nting. and the artist kept the canvas
by him. He always said he would be
wrapped in it when he was buried and
even went so far as to ask Chan trey if
as his executor he would fulfill his
wishes on that paint.
"No doubt. " answered the sculptor.

Rev. Henry C. Hose has given to the
tvorld a discovery which cannot fail
to be a great boon to all downtnxlden
wives. He calls it "the sleep cure , "
and it consists in sneaking in when
hubby is asleep and talking to bis sub
conscious self. In this way. Kev. Mr.
Rose declares , a woman of bis ac
quaintance cured her husband of a bad
case of going to the club , says Suc
cess.
"To-morrow night , " this neglected
wife whispered into bis subconscious
ear , "you will not go to the club to
drink and carouse , but you will spend
the evening with me. " The head of
the family thus taken advantage of has
completely forgotten his club and its
annual dues , and now they have to
send for a blacksmith to pry him loose
from bis home. According to the New
ark gentleman , this is only one of nu
merous cases where people have been
reformed against the better judg
ment.
It's all very well for the wife , but
wkat of the rent-payer and provider
of material blessings ? Has lie no
rights which his own family is bound
to respectV Somewhere a judge has
decreed that a wife is justified in
rifling her husband's pockets for small
change. Is she also to be allowed to
take away his inalienable right to make
a fool of himself ?

Bushy , irregular eyebrows should be
brushed lightly with a camel's-hair
brush dipped in olive oil. The same
treatment is good for stiff and harsh
eyebrows and is said to make them
grow.
To help keep hands smooth for sew
ing , make mittens of canton flannel ,
fleeced side next to bands. A half yard
will make two pairs. If you cannot
cut them , buy a pair of men's and
baste them to fit. Then rip one and
use for pattern.
An excellent hair wash is to take
one ounce of borax and one ounce of
powdered camphor and dissolve in a
pint of boiling water added to cold
water in a bowl. The camphor will
form into lumps , but a sufficient
amount will dissolve. This will
strengthen the hair and preserve the
color.
Attraction.
The charm of woman lies not In
beauty , but individuality If she could
but be brought to understand that fact.
It isn't the details that count. It is
her carriage , her manner , her voice ,
her expression ; in short , herself ttiat
makes or unmakes her charm.
It is the woman , then , who haft the
courage to be herself who attracts.
Originals are much more desirable than
copies , no matter how accurate the
copy may be. If it be natural to wear
one's hair in earless fashion , by all
means do so nature is never mistaken.
Itn.t let the admiring sister whom that
same autocrat intended to be a tailor-
made girl beware of disorder ; in her It
would cease to be artistic. It would
simply be untidy.
Let every woman dare to be herself ,
develop her own individuality , not
blindly copy some other woman , whom ,
it may be. her husband happens to ad
mire. Let her think'for herself , act
for herself and express her own honest -
est opinions. Individuality , when com
bined with that nameless something
called mariner , is the most potent weapon
pen in the possession of the sex. It is
this which has given many a homely
woman a reputation for beauty which
a boua fide beauty , with faultless face
and figure has sighed In vain to at
tain.

The Doom of the Iligr Hat.
The feminine hat with the dangerous
reach , Ithe headpiece with the spear-like
foather. the creation which obscures the
scenery from view , will soon be no more.
It has already filled too large a place in
the world. Chicago milliners have band
ed , as the Milliner.- ' Association , with a
resolve to wipe out the giant hat evil ,
and with the motto. "Mutual protection
and more artistic millinery. " By this
means the Chicago milliners hope to up
hold that city's reputation as the millinery
center of the country. If they succeed
in abolishing the big hat. they will de
serve more than that. They will deserve
the thanks of every man who doesn't
want his face sawed ofT or his eyes goug
ed out. They will win uhe gratitude of
every husband and father who objects to
bij ing sstraw and fvlt by the acre and
flowers and feathers by the bale. They
\\ill have the thanks and gratitude of
every sen.ciblf woman who dislikes to be
enslaved by fa-liion into a burden-bearer
mil into a nuisance. Cincinnati I'oj-t.

FIRST CITY TO USE GASLIGHT.
"TJKThlliou.se" Wax IltilK in ISOto
Illuminate Kichiuond , Va.
The old stone house is the oldest
structure in Richmond. Va. . ami in its
glory it entertained many noted people , \ t
says the Boston Post. Here George
Washington had his headquarters : here
Lafayette lived for a time , and James-
Monroe was at one time its tenant.
A favorite meeting place for the lead
ers of the South , it became known as.
the political capitol of Richmond , it.
still contains 111:1113 * relics of" its noted-
occupants.
A curious bit of forgotten history
was enacted near the old lionin
1801' . There came to Richmond -me-
Henfrey in that year , and he announced
to the citizens that he could pour tiniue-
from a teakettle instead of steam or
water , lie showed the astonished citi
zens this feat , and as a result was
asked to see what he could do toward
lighting the city.
He erected near the old stone bouse-
an octagonal tower of brick with : L
large lantern with many jets on the
top. Here he proceeded to gem-rate
gas in a kind of still in the basement ,
and conducted it by a pipe to the ?
burners. The experiment was wonder
fully successful , and Richmond thus ,
had the distinction of being the first ;
city in America to use gas lightin-r.
Ilenfrey failed in one thing , as elee-
triclight pioneers failed later. He ex/J
period that his 'lighthouse" would il- ;
lumlnate the whole city. This was .iot :
a ciimplisbed and the novelty wore off.
and finally Heufrey's tower was aban
doned.
Half a century later gas came into *
general u.-e. and Richmond , which refused -
fused to support the pioneer , was ?
forced to adopt gas lighting.
