“THE CLIMATE OF WESTERN CANADA.” AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CAN ADA’S IMMIGRATION. A letter dated February 3, 1913, pub fished in a “People’s Voice” column la a Swedish paper, while dealing witi other conditions in Canada, such ai train yield, social conditions, etc. says: “We have had fine weather ud til Kew Year’s, when some snow tel! and it was cold for a few day's, bul during the past few days we hav< lovely weather again.” The writer who lives near Davidson, Sask., sayi they got from 30 to 35 bushels of wheal per acre, 60 bushels of oats and aboul 30 bushels of flax. All homesteads are taken in the vicinity, but wild land can be bought at reasonable figures Word from Alberta gives the Infor mation that up to tho 22nd of February there wore eighty-four and a quartei hours of bright sunshine, but that did not come up to the corresponding month of 1812, when the meteorolog teal department registered 120 houn for the 28 days. February was exceptionally fine al through, but 1912 went one better, and was a glorious month. However, tab fng the weather generally throughout the northern hemisphere, February hai been marked by serious and sever* disturbances resulting in heavy storms bad weather and low temperatures is many other parts. The coldest temperature this wee) occurred on Tuesday morning, when the thermometer registered 23.5 below and the coldest Wednesday was 11 be low. During the last fortnight ol February 9 and 8.7 hours of bright sun shine spread Its glorious rays ovei Edmonton, and this out of a posslbl* total of about ten hours Is somethin! to talk about. —Advertisement. DINNER GUESTS GO HUNGRY 'Aged Royal Host Slept and Etiquette Would Not Permit That He Should Be Awakened. Prince Leopold, the recently deceased regent of Bavaria, some weeks before his fatal illness fell asleep at a dinner party immediately after the first course. Hls z guests were restrained by etiquette from waking him, but continued their conversation in a low tone. The servants did not dare to continue serving the dinner. The prince soon commenced to onore, and slept on for two hours, during which time no one allowed himsel! to leave his place. guests sat famished in the same room with a marvelously appointed dinner. Finally Prince Leopold awoke. He took a bur rled glance< round the table and saw only a number of perfectly correct faces successfully pretending to have noticed nothing. Persuaded that hi» slight lapse had passed completely un remarked, he said quietly: “Now let us go and take coffee.” The guests rose accordingly and proceeded to the drawing room. They were served with coffee, liqueurs, cigars. The prince, ‘thoroughly refreshed by his sleep, in dulged in a great deal of excellent con versation, which lasted till midnight The party then broke up, and th* «, guests departed, famished wtlh hunger.

wWWAP TALE BY HOSKINS BRIGADIER Confederate Veteran Gives Interesting Reminiscences of Civil War— Wonders at Escape. Interesting reminiscences of the civil war from the point of view of the confederate veteran were tojd in Chicago the other day by Z. T. Hoskins, 1243 Michigan avenue, who enlisted in the army of the south when he was only fourteen years of age. He served in what is known as Hoskins’ brigade, commanded by his brother, Capt. James A. Hoskins. Stories of hardship related by Mr. Hoskins rival the stirring conditions under which the army of the revolutionary war labored in its battle for independence. “It’s a wonder to me,” Mr. Hoskins explained, “that there is a single one of our soldiers alive to tell the story of. those days of hardship. It was at the battle of Nashville that I remem ' ber Incidents that make me wonde: how any of us pulled through. “After the battle of Franklin, in which engagement we were badly ■licked’ and 5,000 of our men killed, Gen. Schofield of the ‘Yankees' ro i treated to Nashville and Gen. Hood I established us around the city. For ! fourteen days—from the Ist to the 14th of December, 1864—We waited ' for the attack of the .union men. Fl- I nally early in the morning of Decern- j ber 15, Gen. Thomas ordered the ad ' vance. The union army surrounded j us and it seems to me that the bluecoats could have killed us, every one, i I don't understand to this day how it ■ was that a single man escaped with his life. Those of us who did get I away suffered terrible hardship. “I have seen cold weather.” Mr. Hoskins continued, “but I have yet to find it as cold as it was during our disastrous retreat. Snow had fallen and then a crust had formed and progress it seemed was next to impossible. Many of the boys were barefooted. Bloodstains on the snow were plain as a blazed trail, for the jagged edges of the thick snow crust cut like the edges of a saw. The army was poorly clothed and the suffering was intense.' 1 have been in Chicago when the thermometer registered 14 degrees below’ zero, yet the day did not seem as cold by half as those during which jnq fled across Tennessee. “We all expected death by freezing. The boys had lost heart and were lit erally staring death in the face when a series of heavy rains fell. The water,- It seemed, was warm, and the snow- ana ice disappeared. It was our salvation. But for those rains 1 think we all would have frozen to death.” The narrator also had an interest ing story to tell of the manner In which Gen. James B. McPherson met his death. On this point history differs slightly. Mr. Hoskins declares that |he following is the true account of the manner in which the union leader killed: “It was what is called the battle befor Atlanta, July 22, 1864,” he began. “Gen. McPherson was in command of the army of the Tennessee and Gen. Hood was leading us. Gen. Hood and McPherson had been classmates at West Point. “We had just begun firing on the Yankees when a general was seen coming galloping down the road, headed right for our forces. It was Gen. McPherson. He had lingered at the Howard house talking with Gen. Sherman, and hearing the firing he was hurrying to join his men. He rode directly into a group of our men before he saw that we were of Gen. Hood’s army. “He wheeled his horse suddenly In a desperate effort to escape capture. A low hanging limb of a near-by scrub oak brushed his cap from his head as he fled- He had scarcely gone a rod, however, when a bullet from a corporal of our troops laid him low. We regretted his death as much as the union army did, for he was once a southern favorite. He was killed out right. “I was a confederate soldier,” smiled Mr. Hoskins. “I guess I’m pretty nearly a ‘Yank’ now. I’ve been here in Chicago ‘ long enough to get accustomed to northern ways. And we’re all under one flag together.” It Wouldn’t Buy the Shoes. After Lee’s surrender, when Confederate money was “cheap,” a Confederate soldier was journeying home through the mountains of Virginia on a mule. A’ “hillbilly” accosted him: “Thet’s a likely lookin’ critter ye air aridin’, stranger. I mought gl’ ye three thouslng xhfllars fufr him.” The soldier looked at him In amazement, and finally blurted out: “Three thouslng nothin’. I jes’ paid fl’ thousing ter hev ’lm shod.” Legs and Arms Galore. A southern lady was showing some visitors the family portraits. “That officer in the uniform,” she said, “Is my father. He was as brave as a lion, but one of the most unfortunate men. He never fought In a battle In which he did not have an arm or a leg carried away." Then she added proudly a little later: “He took part in 24 engagements." Good Market for Eggs. New York annually consumes $28,000,000 worth of eggs. How He Reasoned It. A little lad astonished hla mother i with the question: “Mamma, what is a : grass widow?” “My son, a grass widow Is one ; whose husband has gone away and i left her.” “Well, my papa Is away to the war; that makes you a grass widow, then.” And, with a sigh: “I guess I’m a grasshopper.” Dally Thought. Keep your heart up and you’ll do. — Robert Louis Stevenson.

TOURISTS SEE CANAL

More Than 20,000 Americans Are "Doing” Panama. Interesting and Curious Throng Spend Their Time Riding Over the Isthmus in Sightseeing Cars. Colon, Panama.—The rush of tourists to the isthmus is in full blast. No doubt, the record will go higher than last year, or any year, but there are no signs that it will total the figures given in the forecasts of the steamship managers working their special brand of enthusiasm. Panama was to see 40,000 Americans “doing the canal;’’ the tourists probably will exceed 20,000, but that number puts a strain on the accommodations there. And who are the tourists? Naturally they are mostly well-to-do citizens out for a holiday “taking in” the canal. They are not the fashionable people in its New York sense of the word. The latter have barely, it would seem, heard of it. They can only move in little certified flocks. The great bulk, however, is made up of successful business men and their wives and families, for whom nothing is too good. A surprising number, too, are farmers who have been fattening on prosperous seasons in fat lands. On our steamer we had men and women from Illinois —Peoria, if you tI! -> Im" Sightseeing Car In Panama. please—Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, lowa, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Colorado, Virginia, Pennsylvania. One Rhode Islander was in his ninety-first year. Everybody has made preparation for tropical temperature—crash, alpaca and immaculate linen suits among the men and every wonderful and expensive dress and waist conceivable in lace and linen and light fabrics, with reserves of silks and satins and jewels for gala nights. All of which may be preface to a few words on the marvel of the woman tourists. Probably their greatest labor is writing postal cards. When not writing postal cards they are taking snapshots: Let any one say “Look at that,” and a hundred of the pestilential machines are pointed in the direction indicated. After the shot the invariable question is, “What was* it?” The girls of all ages are, however, pleasantly fluttery and positive about this modern industry. “I don’t bother a bit what it is,” said one. “I just snap it. Stand a moment, please,” and another art sin is added to her beadroll. Os course their paradise is the sightseeing train. And what is a sightseeing train? You must know the passage from Colon to Panama across the isthmus brings you within measurable view of the whole canal—just enough to Irritate you. Hence excursions three in number are provided to widen and deepen your knowledge. These trains start on alternate days from Colon and Panama. The first takes SCOTS ARE ANGRY OVER SEAL Insulted by English Shields on Coat of Arms—They Are Placed Fourth.

you to the great triple locks—one behind the other —at Gatun on the Atlantic side and to the great Gatun dam and spillway; the second takes you to the Pedro Miguel single lock and the Miraflores double locks at the Pacific end; the third takes you down through the nine miles of Culebra cut. The train consists of three show cars with the cross seats ranged in rising tiers. On the lowest level stands a guide, who talks gently through a megaphone, retailing the wonders which the audience is witnessing—three cars, three megaphones, three lectures. The trains by using the working tracks are enabled to go close to the locks, and so forth. The train stops; the lecturer quits, having invited the audience to alight and to take a close look, and everybody is on foot, scrambling to the front more or iess decorously, for they are a polite and good natured folks. Thus you pass over dizzy heights in safety, you gaze down or look up; you snap everything with your camera and, exclaiming everything from “My!” to “How perfectly wonderful" you pass on to the next wonder. DEAF MUTE SITS ON JURY Mystery of a Philadelphia Court Unexplained, But New Trial Is Granted When Discovery Is Made. Philadelphia, Pa,- —A new trial was granted in common pleas court after it had been discovered that a deaf mute had sat as a member of the jury during the hearing of an ejectment suit. How the man became a member of the jury and why he sat through the trial, unable to hear or speak, is a mystery which none of the court attaches could explain.

CHURCH WITH SEVEN MEMBERS

Methodist Conference Is Unable to Solve the Problem of Extending Usefulness of Institution. New Haven. —One of the smallest churches in this country is the Parker (Conn.) A. M. E. Zion church of Meriden, its membership numbering but seven regular members with an average attendance at church of about fifteen persons. The smallest of the congregation has always been a puzzle to those interested in the church. It has been organzied sincce 1890, but never seems to grow any larger despite the efforts -of revivalists and well-known colored organizers "-who have visited the church for the purpose of building it up. During its twenty-two years of existence many preachers have been assigned to the pastorate, but owing to the smallness of the congregation of late years it has been impossible to raise enough money to pay the preacher for his services. At the last meeting of the Methodist conference the question of the Parker church was discussed at length by the delegates. Scheme after scheme for the building up of the impoverished treasury, and the congregation, were discussed, but none seemed feasible. W. C. Andrews, a lay preacher holding a pastorate in Providence on a salary, then came forward and offered his services as a preacher. Leaving his family behind, the preacher went to Meriden, where he assumed charge. Inasmuch as he bad no income, it become compulsory upon him to provide a roof for himself. '~'ecuring some old boards and timbers, the preacher built a small room on the rear of the church. For weeks he labored from morning to night until at last he had for himself a cozy home at no expense to the church. Determined still further that the church would not have to support him, he cast around for a suitable position whereby he could earn enough to live on. Mr. Andrews was not afraid of work, and prominent business men of Meriden who had heard of his efforts and his sacrifice secured for him a position with the Meriden Gas company as a porter.

On the reverse side of the seal there is an effigy of the king, and in completing the design two very small shields were included bearing the royal arms quartered Englishwise. it is these two small shields which have roused up the storm. The great seal of Scotland is only

St. Paul. —Hens should have a gymnasium, proper training and a,n occasional change of diet in order to break egg-laying records, according to Samuel E. Mahan, a local poultry dealer. Mr. Mahan recently established in connection with his chicken coop a gymnasium, where daily each hen is given two hours of exercise. He declares that as a result of this, training the average production of each hen has increased in nine days from 55 to 85 per cent. A feature of the gymnasium is an artificial garden bed, where the hens exercise their muscles but find no nourishment.

Os course they do not as a rule get beyond cigarettes, but recently a petit j brand of cigars has been put on tha market. It is something like the thin [ cigarettes which one buys on the con- ' tinent for a couple of centimes, except that the flavor and strength are mor® akin to the Egyptian cigarette. It is a leaf-covered cigarette, with sufficient pungency to make the fair smokers think they are doing something daring in lighting up what looks like a cigar.
