LETTERS 10 THR EDITOR.

LETTER FROM THE NORTH-WEST.

Sir,—As promised in my last letter, I now undertake to give your readers the result of my personal observations in the eastern portion of the territory of Assini- boia.

Eastern Assiniboia is, for the most part, a rolling prairie dotted with wooded biuff:, principaliy of poplar, and with innumer- able “sloughs,” or little lakelet*, varying from the size of a town lot to several acres in extent. These sloughs fill every considerable depression. They are form- ed in spring by the melting snows. As the weather becomes warmer they gradually dry or “contract in size, and where the water had been heavy hay grows. This ay, besides being fresh, is of much bet- ter quality than our marsh hsy. When cut down and cured it makes an excellent feed for horses and cattle in winter. The country has been surveyed and the land laid off on a uniform principle. Let the reader imagine an immense chess- board, each block a mile square, and the number of blocks practically unlimited. One such block is called a section, and the alternate sections—the red blocks, we will say~-belong to the Government, and have been settled or are open to home- steading. The other sections--the white blocks-~are principally C. P. R. land, the Hudson Bay Company owning about one- ninth of them. ‘The best portions of the Government land, and the most convenient to the railway, have been already occu- pied. The C. P. R. lands are still held for settlement, and are selling at various prices. There are besides, scattered here and there, some farms which were worked for a few years, but whose owners have left the country. Theee were held chiefly by young Englishmen of means---sporting characters—who, having no previous knowledge of farming, became tired of the work and abandoned their holdings. Such farms can be bought at a low figure, and, considering that they have houses and stables and large areas broken, it might in the end pay better to take one of these than to enter on a homestead. The sections are subdivided into quarter sec- tions of 160 acres—each 40 chaius square. Where the land has been settled, there- fore, four families are found on a section ; and bearing in mind our familiar illustra- tion, the chess board, it will be seen that a number of families—sixteen at least— would be living quite close together. It follows, generally, that a settler seldom

finds. himself too far from a echool, where his children can receive the benefits of education. The mar- ket facilities are good. Thus at

Moosomin, where grain is being bouglit all the vear round, there gre three eleva- tore, one of them and a mill in connection with it being owned by a local company. The same is true more or less of every important station along the line of rail- way. At Moosomin, toc, there are stores which would do no discredit to our eastern towns. Having said so much in a general way I shall now come to particulars. Travelling over ahundred miles of this aountry in varioysdirections, I was able to make inyself acquainted with the con- ditions under which farming is carried on. Theesoilis generally a black loam, very rich looking, and from eighteen inches to three feet indepth. It rests on a sub-soil of tough, blueish clay and is re- duced toa fine seed bed by a couple of cuts of the harrow. There are of course

tracts which are rendered unfertile by the presence of alkali de- posits—-but these, if not visible, are easily detected by the peculiar quality of grass found in such

places. Wheat is their staple crop but they grow oats and barley aud an excellent quality of potatoes. Good water is obtained by digging to a depth generally not greater than twelve feet. The earliest

settlers are here about ten years. Their houses are comfortable, if small. They are well supplied with agricultural

machinery. At pretty nearly every house there are to be seen a self-binder, a mower for hay, disc and spring-tooth harrows, seeders and wheel rekes, besides ploughs, truck-waggons, expresses, sleighs, etc. I found from fifteen to forty head of horned cattle toa farm—the average I think would be about twenty-five. The herds I saw looked well after coming through the winter. Every farmer has at least a team of working oxen and a team of horses. Fine sheep too are found, and hogs. The areas of unbroken prairie supply good

pasturage. It is only during the months of January, February and March that cattle have to be fed altogether in stables. The weath-

er is then very severe but the snow is not deep. This was an early spring—the snow left before the middle of March,— which generally does not happen till the first of April. Once the snow goes it is gone for good and as soon as the frost has drawn to the depth of a furrow, ploughing and cropping commences, At the present writing most farmers have completed seed- ing.

There are drawbacks, of. course,—scar- city of timber, liability to*early frosts, dry seasons, etc; but opposite these are great advantages, and without exception the peo- ple I saw spoke of the couutry in terms of praise. I should add, perhaps, that, owing to the quantity of water ever present in the subsoil and within a few feet of the surface, crops do not suffer as much from a dry season as would be the case other- wise; also that no early frosts had occur red in these quarters for four years.

Rey. A. E. Burke, of Prince Edward Is- land, is well-known in the Territories. Father Burke, it appears, visited this neighborhood a few years ago, at the re quest ofthe Government and the C. P R., to ascertain its suitability as a field for colonists and report thereon. From the many persons who mentioned his name, I conclude that his investigation must have been pretty thorough. It seems, however, that Father Burke preferred Alberta—at any rate, he is working out a colonization project in a portion of that territory.

Railway extension is beginning to be an interesting topic, and before many years branch lines may be expected to connect outlying districts with the-trunk, or to open up remote townships.

There are other matters to which I in- tend to refer, but for fear of encumbering your space I shall hold them over till a yore convenient time.

THE MAN AND THE WOMAN,

DiMiculties im the Way of Settling the

Ques ion at Issce.

‘The Pall Mall Budget comments on ain article by Strindberg in the Janu- ary number of The Revue Blanche calle el “The Inferiority of Women.” It is a coincidence that The Spectator of the same week contains a review of a book by Eliza Burt Gamble en- titied “The Evolution of Woman.” These two facts, placed side by side, bring home to us at once the utter fu- tility of the endles discussion on the relative positions of man and woinan. ‘ithe defense of men is undertaken by a man, the defense of women by a woman ; they are both special piead-

«rs, and as such can be no more than advocates ; it is impossible for them to set themselves up as judges. Until

some being, neither man nor woman, at once above yet in perfect sympathy with both, can be brought into court the question will ever remain an open cne,

The fact is, it is impossible for us, constituted as we ure, to measure things which do not contain a common. unit. Man and woman differ not in degree but in kind. It is as absurd to claim that man as a whole is superior to wo- man as to claim the reverse. On what grounds can we go ? Take that usually selected by the opponents—intellectual capacity. All men are not cleverer than al! women. No one in his senses would assert it, and its opposite is not affirm- ed even by the most ardent “woman- ite.” If we regard not the exceptions but the mass, what do we find ? The or- dinary man declares the woman to be devoid of faculty, power of concentration and judgment: she retorts he is dull, lacking in imagination, un- observant. They probably both right. But it is be their brains are differently constituted or because loth are strong in the faculties which have been brought forward ?

I’rom his earliesi school time,through- out his busines life, the boy end man has been forced to cofcentrate his at- tention, however, repugnant the process may be to him, or the peralty wil) be un- endurable, he wil be left altogether be- hind in the race. And so with the cther qualities. The ordinary woman, on the other hand, is bound to be ob- scrvant, to get what pleasure she can out of trifies, to make her own interests, or her penaity will be excessive, the weariness of a life too dull to be borne. We are all familiar with the brilliant eaceptions, the women who, without the advantages of the men, have out- stripped them on thelr own ground. We wonder how M. Strindberg would deal with these ; they are getting a little too numerous to be lightly thrust aside 2s “proving the rule.” Besides these many of us have met women who rever have done nor will do anything brilliant, Lut who are strong in the very qualities man claims for himself. T’usiness-like, self-controlled, with ad- mirable judgment, capable in every re- spect, even if they have lived with all their lives at home. The petulance which classes them in a mass with “negroes and children” shows some- thing of the fretfulness of a “sick child” itself.

Until we can find our angelic visit- ant who is to tell us definitely once for all the truth of the matter, is it not wiser to cease quarrelling and aNow each sex the fullest opportunfty for de- veloping what capabilities it has ?7~ London Queen,

Corney Grain.

Although a lover of fun, and ever full of boyish spirits, he would never permit a liberty to be taken with him. Famil- jfarity was the one thing he resented in the most unmistakable form. I have seen an unfortunate hilarious youth, scon after his first introduction to Grain, siap him on the back and call him “Corney.” Grain would give that youth a look, or rather a glare, with his big eyes, such as a lion would give before springing on his victim. The look was enough. The hilarious youth was in- stantly transformed into a sober, solemn worm. I heard that once Grain was giving an entertainment at Cambridge --from whence he hailed, and where he was an enormous favorite—the under- graduates were shouting to him for more, and calling “Encore, Corney—an- other son, Corney !’ But Grain would not respond. Presently one ‘grad shout- ed: “Please give us another, sir!’ All the students took it up—‘‘Encore, sir !” Grain then came on, and obliged them te their heart’s content.

Among his intimate friends he was al- ways called “Dick’’—never “Corney.” I have always rather envied the clever eynicism of the patter in his sketches. In one of his entertainments he was sup- pesed to be rebuking a badly-behaved boy at an afternoon party. You could eimost see the boy standing in front of him. The rebuke, as far as I remember, was :—

“Now, look here, my boy, you must net talk when people are singing. You are only a boy, and such conduct is very rude, and ill mannered. Of course when you are grown up it is a different thing all together. It’s expected of you then.” What a fine piece of satire that is ! His entertainments were crammed full of such gems —Pall Mall Budget.

Wanted—A Curate!

The rector of a hundred years ago had somewhat peculiar ideas as to the qualifications of a curate, if one may judge from the following curious ad- vertisement, which appeared in The St. James’ Chronicle of May 4, 1795 :

WANTED ~— immediately, a good, strong, bony man to act in the capacity ef curate. He must be subject to the following particulars, viz.: To have no objection to act as gardener, husband- man, and occasional whipperin. Any gent whom the above may suit, on ap- plication to Mr. B.,-at the Gray’s Inn Coffee House, Holborn, may meet with finmediate employ. N.B.—Character will not be so much required as eques- trian skill, and none need apply who has not undergone 2 complete stabala- rian (sic) education.

The curate of 1795 was evidently in- tended more for use than ornament. It is often the other way about with «he curate of 1895.—Tit-Bits.

Transatiantic Penny Post

This dream of postal reformers was actual fact as far back as the year 1648. At that period masters of vessels bound to America used to hang up bags in the coffee houses for the reception of let- ters, which they were glad enough to convey across the ocean at the rate of me penny each “single,” or twopence per “double” letter.—Ueber Land und cePr.

Experience Has Proved It

A triumph in medicine was achieved when experience proved that Scott’s Emul sion would not only stop the progess of Pulmonary Consumption, but by its con- tinued use, health and vigor could be fully estored.

American women, says Dean Hole, are reat readers, and if they are, possibly, ess beautiful than English women, they

are altogether brighter from the mental standpoint.

SMALLEST MEN.

the Pygmies Mave Lived for Centuries

in History and Tradition

The story of pygmies lives in our earliest fairy tales, and must have al- ways existed.. Homer writes of cranes that “fly over the ocean, and bear car- nage and death to the men called pyg- mies and from high in the air give them dreadful combats.” Strange enoush, to-day we reverse somewhat the legend, giving to the crane much amiability, especially in regard to small Hiomer does not indicate where combats took place, and yet ft? knew of the migration of the and how they “sped from Europe to Africa, and back again.” Aristotle wrote “the storks pass from the planes of Scythia to the marsh of Upper Egy toward the source of the Nile.” ‘hen he says: “This is the district the pyg- n.ies inhabit, whose existence is not a fable. There is really, as men say, a

peopl x" these poct

storks,

species of men of little stature, and their horses are little, also. They pass their lives in caverns.” Aristotle does not exaggerate conditions as to size,

and leaves out the combats beiwceen the uirds and the little men.

far was Aristotle out of When Schweinfurth among

How very the way ?

recent travelers followed up the Nile he did not come across men who were small. When Schweinfurth found the

Akkas they were possibly the men Aris- totle described. What about the little horses ? Baker tells us that the animals teionging to the Bari tribe, living near Gondokoro, were “‘Lilliputian.” If there were no horses among the Bari to-day it might not have been impossible that

there were such animals in the early Iegyptian times. Pliny is wild and in- ventive. Pygmies he places in Thrace, in Asia Minor, or in the locality of

Cairo, though he adds that these little creatures were common to both Asia and Africa. It is amusing to find that Buffon rather defends Homer and Fiiny in their asertion that the storks fought the pygmies. The French nat- ural historian who wrote in ruffles and a dress sword only substitutes monkeys for pygmies; nevertheless more than one traveler has mistaken n.onkeys for real pygmies.

Everything the learned author writes points to the fact that Africa was the scurce of negroes of diminutive size. They once formed populations denser and more conterminous, and they have been crowded out, separated, divided by superior races, Of course,there can be no future for a race which cannot face a superior, aggressive force, and in the not far distant time these pygmies will pass out of existence.

If not satisfactory, money re- funded. Gold and Silver Fillings a specialty.

Dear Doctor,—I am so well pleased with the work yeu bave done for me, fnat I will take it as a special favor if you will give publicity to this letter. I positively assert that after an experience extending over twenty-two years under the hands of many dentists, you are the only one who ever extracted a tooth for me ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT PAIN. The TEN teeth you removed forme atone sitting did not hurt a particle, as Mr James Dawson of Tryor, who was present at the operation heard me testify, The man who invented your method snould be knighted,

Iam yours, gratefully, - W. RoBERTson, M. D.
