j THE BEST HE EVER SAW. 4 Missourian Pronounces on the Farm- ing Possibilities of Western Canada, Just at present considerable interest is being uroused in the fact that a few new districts (of limited acreage) are being opened out by the Canadian gov- ernment in Saskatchewan and Assini- boia (western Canada), and any infor- mation concerning this country is eagerly sought. Mr. W. R. Corser, of Higginsville, Lafayette Co., Mo., was a delegate there during last summer, and writing of his impressions he says: “I found surprising yields of grain of all descriptions. One farmer I vis- ited threshed of 175 acres: “600 bushels of wheat from fifteen ecres, 40 bushels to acre. “600 bushels of barley acres, 60 bushels to acre. “15,000 bushels of oats from 150 acres, 100 bushels to acre. “The samples were all No. 1. “T also saw a considerable number of stock. Swine do well and there is no disease amongst them, They are a good source of income to the farmer. The cattle on the range beat anything I ever saw. Fat and ready for beef, fully matured and ripened on the nu- tritious grasses of the prairie. I am firmly convinced that this country of- fers better facilities for a poor man than any I have ever seen.” Information concerning these lands can be had from any agent of the gov- ernment whose advertisement appears elsewhere in this paper. from ten Boil Eggs in Cold Water. “This egg tastes as if it had been boiled in hot water,” d the emanci- pated young woman with the short hair. “I can always tell in a minute if an egg has been cooked in that way.” Her companion had not learned quite so many things, and was quite satisfied with her egg. She only murmured, softly: “I never heard of an egg being boiled in cold water, did you?” “It is high time you were introduced to this institution,” her wise friend continued, “‘and I am delighted to il- luminate you, even at ,the risk of arousing more or less sarcasm. An egg to be boiled properly for human con- sumption should be put into cold wa- ter and then placed over the fire. Then it cooks with the watcr. The egg cooks, moreover, thoroughly and from the in- side. “Ask a physicien or a trained nurse how to boil an egg so that its greatest nutriment and flavor shall be pre- served. Either of them will tell you to put it in cold water. The old way ot dropping an egg into boiling water has Jong been given up. It used to cook the egg suddenly and destroy its fla- vor.

I know that nothing else but Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured me. because I have taken no other medi- cine for over a year. I feel better now than I have for mzny years, and it is all due to the use of Dodd’s Kidney Pills.” Mrs. Dyer’s case and its cure has at- tracted a great deal of attention, and her letter is a splendid tribute to the curative. properties of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. this Heart Trov “About a y Very Strange.

PRINTING WITHOUT INK. Process That Is Proving a Great Sue- cess in England. ue Printers are said to be much inter- ested in the work of an English photographer, a Mr. F. Greene of Lon- don, who has met with considerable success in producing a paper by means of electricity which may be printed upon without employing inks or the use of any previous sensitizing matter by saturation, as has hithertofore been | done. Instead of saturating this “elec- tographic” paper with the sensitizing materials, as has hitherto been done, it has been found best to mix them with the pulp in the process of manu- facture, and so a radical departure has been made and a new machine- made paper has been invented that has rare properties. The chemicals used are abundant and cheap, so that this paper can be produced as cheaply as common paper. The prepared paper is stable and colorless, it is unaffected by any other agent than the electric current; may be kept indefinitely and sent to the press directly from the roll as manufactured, with no preliminary treatment whatever; yields instantly a dence black, permanent print, re- quires no subsequent fixing or devel- opment; indeed, is ready for distribu- tion immediate} as there is nothing like ink to smirch or require drying; briefly, it meets all the requirements of a perfect medium for electric print- ing. The machine for electric print- ing is simply an ordinary press divest- ed of all its inking mechanism and having the cylinder or paper-bearing j surface covered with a suitable con- ducting metal, The work of “make- ready” is the same as for ordinary printing, and line blocks, electrotypes, wood cuts, half-tones, engravings and all kinds of designs in relief may be used at will. The form is connected with one pole of the dynamo or bat- tery—for most purposes the current may be taken from an ordinary incan- descant light wire—the paper-carry- ing cylinder or surface is connected with the other pole. Thus the metal surfaces of bu~h cylinders are the elec- trodes, while the paper is in reality a very thin cell in which the pulp is an inert medium and the contained chemi- cals the electrolyte which is to be sub- jected to electrolysis. As the cylinders approach each other to press the paper as it is fed between them, the current is switched on automatically and flows from one cylinder through the paper at the points of contact to the other cylinder, the impression being pro- duced instantly by electro-chemical action, BROKERS IN INVENT:ONS. Disappearance of the Unscrupulous Spec- ulator—Odd Ideas. Inventors, as every one knows, are ient in business sense. Left to themselves, they seldom realize great profit from their work. They offer a olden ho are not siow to take advantage of it. Two types of men make their living out of the inventor. One is the speculator, the other the legitimate broker of inventions. There are not so many speculators.as there used io be twenty years ago. Dangerous Business. Tourist—Why don’t you offer a re- ward for the desperadoes who robbed the bank here last week?

Many of them are thorough mechanics and good, practical scientists. Such as these are bound to be successful. Others are merely clever salesmen, who at times make money and at other times have their labor for their pains. Their calling is full of-odd and inter- esting features. They meet inventors of every type, from those who have genius to those who are cranks and dreamers. It is among the latter that they find. queer inventions, some of which, though ingenious, are not pat- entable. One of these was a police- man’s club, which at the end was per- forated so as to form a red pepper box, A small spring in the handle opened the box and enabled the wielder of the club to blind his enemy as well as to beat him. A second spring threw out as radii from the club a number of small knife blades, which would cut to pieces the hand of any one who tried to snatch the club away, It was re- fused a patent by the examiners on the ground “of its cruelty and inhu- manity.’” Another non-patentable in- vention was a lady’s fan, in the stick of which was concealed a poisoned dag- ger.—New York Post. Norse Soldiers Use the Ski. In Norway the ski is in constant use during the winter and the ease with which great distances can be covered is surprising. Peasants are thus able to get about their work and visit friends in far-away district. Sports- men, with gun on. back and stick in hand, set out in pursuit of game on ski, and the soldiers are reduced to this means of getting about when exercis- ing. A regiment of soldiers on ski is a sight by no means uncommon in and around Christiania. Farewell, Gamb'erst Lewis Nixon, ex-chief Purifier, says the gamblers have been driven out of New York.

In the creation of a bureau of stand- ards, this country has taken a for- ward step. Up to the present we have had to verify our instruments in Ger- many, but now that we have a bureau of our own, we will be able to rely on ourselves. What would still further help things would be the national adoption of a reasonable system ot weights and measures, such as the metric system. Until that is done, we shall have great difficulty and confus- ion in the standardization of measures. Take, for instance, the bushel mea that is used for wheat. It differs in various states between points twenty pounds apart. There is a variation in other measures, and until one standard is arranged for we shall always have trouble.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
