The wife of a Pennsylvania farmer found a nugget of gold iu the crop of a chicken she was dressing, and now there is great excitement, the community having resolved Itself into a prospecting party.

Official figures from annual reports show that the post office department has nearly reached the point where It is self-sustaining.

TELEPOST CUTS INTO BUSINESS OF MORSE RIVALS IN CHICAGO

IN FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF TELEGRAPH PATRONAGE GETS 800 OF LARGEBT USERB OF OLD J SYSTEM TO .CHANGE TO AUTOMATIC LINES—CORPORATIONS ESTIMATE BIG SAVINGS. Chicago; The fight that has been going on here for the last two months for control of the telegraph business between this city and the principal cities of Missouri, Nebraska, Indiana and Kentucky has reached an acute stage. The Telepost automatic telegraph company, which has been acting as pacemaker for Its older rivals, with its 1000 words a minute service and maximum rates of one cent a word, regardless of time or distance, has considerably the best of It todate, as is shown by its acquisition of the patronage of more than 800 of the largest corporations, business houses and individual users of the wire, who have heretofore used the Morse system exclusively to the points reached by the competing lines. The latter estimate that the change will save them thousands of dollars a year. Computing Its profit on every 25 cent message at ll cents, the Telepost is in the unique position of being able to provide service to telegraph users from 40 to 100 per cent, cheaper than Its competitors, with their slower and more expensive hand operating system and make money out of it. .

Puggles—May I offer you my hand and fortune? Jessie —No, thanks, dear boy. Your fortune’s too small and your hand’s too large.

Careless and Cappy.

x We have undertaken to blend in one the best of the two proberblal conditions —to be careless and happy, hairless and cappy. We are now happy and cappy, and frequently careless as well. A pretty figure may be conjured up—a figure in leaf-green satin veiled with rose and silver shot gauze. The dark hair Is covered by a sailor’s cap, point and all, worn flatly over the whole head, the point falling at the back. Instead of being made of scarlet cashmere, it is of the gauze, over silver tissue, and studded with pink and yellow topaz, while it bordered with great gray pear-shaped pearls, these, of coarse, hanging around the back of the neck and over the soft hair in front. We have taken to caps!

Feminine.

A local ironworker who has been married a couple of years always declared that his first son should be named Mat, after one of his best friends. Learning that the ironworker and his wife had recently been blessed with a charming baby, the friend smiled all over his face when he greeted the father on the street. “Well,” he beamed, “how Is little Mat?” “Mat. nothing,” answered the father; “it’s Mattress.” —Youngstown Telegram.

RESULTS OF FOOD.

Health and Natural Conditions Come From Right Feeding. Man, physically, should be like a perfectly regulated machine, each part working easily in its appropriate place. A slight derangement causes undue friction and wear, and frequently ruins the entire system. A well-known educator of Boston found a way to keep the brain and the body in that harmonious co-opera-tion which makes a joy of living. “Two y64*js ago," she writes, “being In a condition of nervous exhaustion, 1 resigned my position as teacher, which I had held for over 40 years. Since then the entire rest has, of course, been a benefit, but the use of Grape-Nuts has removed one groat cause of Illness In the past, namely, constipation, and its attendant evils. “I generally make my entire breakfast on a raw egg beaten into four spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, with a little hot.milk or hot water added. I like it extremely, my food assimilates, and my* bowels take care of themselves. I find my brain power and physical endurance much greater and I know that the use of the Grape-Nuts has contributed largely to this result “It is with feelings of gratitude that I write this testimonial, and trust It may be the means of aiding others In their search for health.” Name given by Postum Co..

EXCELLENT GRAIN FIELDS IN WESTERN CANADA

YIELDS OF WHEAT AS HIGH AS 64 BUSHELS PER ACRE. How that we have entered upon the making of a new year, it is natural to look back over the pant one, for the purpose of ascertaining what jias been done. The business man and the farmer have taken stock, and both, if they are keen in business detail and interest, know exactly their financial position. The farmer of Western Canada is generally a business man, and in his stock-taking he will have found that he has had' m successful year. On looking over a number of reports sent from various quarters, the writer finds that in spite of the visitation of drouth in a small portion of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, many farmers are able to report splendid crops. And these reports come from different sections, covering an area of about 25,000 square miles. Ab, for instance, at Laird, Saskatchewan, the crop returns showed that J. B. Peters had 12,800 bushels from 320 acres, or nearly 40 bushels to the acre. In the Blaine Lake, district the fields ranged from 15 to 50 bushels per acre, Ben Crews having 1,150 bushel 3 from 24 acres; Edmond Trottfer 1,200 bushels off 30 acres, while fields of 30 bushels were common. On poorly cultivated fields but 15 bushels were reported. In Foam Lake (Sask.) district 100 bushels of oats to the acre were secured by Angus Robertson, D. Mcßae and C. H. Hart, while the average was 85. In wheat 30 bushels to the \acre were qjjite common on the newer land, but off 15 acres of land cultivated for the past three years George E. Wood secured 495 bushels. Mr. James Traynor, near Regina (Sask.) is still, on the shady side of thirty. He had 60,000 bushels of grain last year, half of which was wheat. Its market value was $25,000. He says he is well satisfied. Arthur Somers of Strathclair threshed 100 acres, averaging 25 bushels to the acre. Thomas Foreman, of Milestone, threshed 11,000 bushels of wheat, and 3,000 bushels of flax off 600 acres of land. W. Weatherstone, of Strathclair, threshed 6,000 bushels of oats from 96 acres. John Gonzilla, of Gillies, about twenty-five miles west of Rosthern, Sask., had 180 bushels from 3 acres of wheat. Mr. Gonzilla’s general average of crop was over 40 bushels to the here. Ben Cruise, a neighbor, averaged 45 bushels to the aerb from 23 acres. W. A. Rose, of the . Walderheim district, threshed 6,000 bushel? of wheat from 240 acres, an average of 25 bushels, 100 acres was on summer fallow and averaged 33 bushels. He had also an average of 60 bushels of oats to the acre' on a 60-acre field. Wm. Lehman, who has a farm close to Rosthern, had an average of 27 bushels to the acre on 60 acres of summer fallow. Mr. Midsky, of Rapid City (Man.) threshed 1,000 bushels of oats from 7 acres. - - —•— The yield of the different varieties of wheat per acre at the Experimental Farm, Brandon, was: Red Fife, 28" bushels; White Fife, 34 bushels; Preston, 32 bushels; early Red Fife, 27 bushels.

The crops at the C. P. R. demonstration farms at Strathmore (Alberta) proved up to expectations, the Swedish variety oats yielding 110 bushels to the acre. At the farm two rowed barley went 48 14 bushels to the acre. Yields of from 50 bushels to 100 bushels of oats to the acre were quite common in the Sturgeon River Settlement near Edmonton (Alberta). But laßt year was uncommonly good and the hundred mark was passed. Wm. Craig had a yield of oats from a measured plot, which gave 107 bushels and 20 lbs. per acre. Albert Teskey, of Olds (Alberta) threshed a 100-acre field which yielded 101 bushels of oats per acre, and Joseph McCartney had a large field equally good. At Cupar (Sask.) oats threshed 80 bushels to the acre. On the Traquairs farm at Cupar, a fiveacre plot of Marquis wheat yielded 54 bußhels to the acre, while Laurence Barknel had 37 bushels of Red Fife to the acre. At Wordsworth, Reeder Bros.’ wheat averaged 33 Vi bushels to the acre, and W. McMillan’s 32. William Krafft of Alix (Alberta) threshed 1,042 bushels of winter wheat off 19% acres, or about 53 bushels to the acre. John Laycroft of Dinton, near High River, Alberta, had over 1,100 bushels of spring v?heat from 50 acres. E. F. Knipe, near Lloydmlnster, Saskatchewan, had 800 bushels of wheat from 20 acres. W.

Vanderburgh, near Dayalow, Alberta, threshed four thousand bushels of wheat from 120 acres. Mr. D’Arcy, near there, threshed ten thousand and fifty-eight bushels (machine measure) of wheat from five hundred acrea. and out of this only sixty acrea was new land. At Fleming, Saak., A Winter's wheat averaged 39 bushels to the acre and several others report heavy yields. Mr. Winter’s crop was not on summer fallow, but on a piece of land broken in 1882 and said to be the first broken in the Fleming district. The agent of the Canadian gorenr

ment will lie pleased to give Information regarding the various district* t» Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, where free homesteads of 160 acres are available.

Great Baseball Play.

“What was the greatest baseball play you ever saw?” asked a friend of Governor-elect John W. Tener: “The greatest play I ever saw,” said he, “took place in an amateur game on a town lot at Charleroi. The teams were playing on a wet, field and an outfielder who wore a derby hat went after a high fly. He came to a little pond and taking his eye off the hall made a jump to cross It. As he was leaping the ball struck him on the head, went through the crown of his hat and lodged there. The base runner was out and the fielder had not touched the ball with his hands. Can you beat it?” —Washington Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch.

As It Appeared In Print.

Senator Newlands of Nevada was Boaring In debate one day, soaring so high he “hit the-ceiling.” He realized he was getting a trifle flowery and to excuse himself said: “Indeed, Mr. President, perfervid oratory may be pardoned, for this subject furnishes all the food eloquence needs.” That sounded pretty good to Mr. Newlands, but he was a bit abashed when he read in the Congressional Record next day that he asserted his topic “furnished all the food elephants need.”
