Tho political conditio of SpAln Is de-
plorable Parties nro Splitting Into
fragments and there una boon agree-
ment about only one thing namely
that lrlme Minister Sngastn should not
be relieved of the unpleasant responsi-
bility of bringing thea peace negotia-
tions to n conchisldu It Is equally
will undcistood that as soon as the
treaty question has been disposed of
there will bo an end of the Sagasta
admnlstiatIon But whit will follow
It no one either In > Snaln or outside
seems to Know JlieTuarllsts are sup-
posed to be preparingfor njrormlda

Ooncn Doyln on Golf
My dear sir writes Conan Doyle
to an English friend pray present my
compliments to thOiOrmeau Golf Club
and wleh them for me a very happy
evening I am myself nn Intermittent
golfer getting violent attacks at reg-
ular Intervals It usually talce3 mo
about two months to convince myrelt
that I shall never be any 1good and
then I give It up until a fresh burst of
energy sets me trying once more I
played In Egypt until they told mo that
excavators had to pay a special tax I
Inaugurated a private course In Ver-
mont also and the Yankee farmers
asked us what we were boring for It
ever the Ormeiu Club should wish any
part of their links returfed I could
undertake In a few games to clear away
any sod now existing

At the file on Lorlng nvenuo the
other day I noticed a most humane act-
on the part of Driver Sims which I
think deserves commendation Tho
run was a hard one and when tho
chemical arrived at the fire Mr Sims
called for a bucket of water and a
sponge which when furnished he used
to cool his horses heads and mouths
He placed the wot sponge under tho
horses tongues thus cooling the arter-
ies which He there and which cohnect
with all parts of tho body He also
washed their noses and placed the codl
sponge on top of their heads Water
Judiciously used like this Is a great
refresher to overheated horses but care
should be taken not to wash their
bodies Salem Mass Exchange
Tho World Telephones
Llllustratlon remarking on the
number of telephones In service In the
United States deplores the lack of
readiness to employ these Instruments
In Europe In Berlin where there are
30000 In use the average number of
calls Is not more than seven a day
two In the morning and three or four
In the afternoon Among the European
countries Germany and England hold
the lead with 140000 and 110000 in-
struments Respectively In France
there aro scarcely more than 35000
while there are 02000 In Sweden 35000
In Scotland and 30000 In Switzerland
Thero are 700000 In use In the United
States
There are now 161 high schools on
the accredited list of tho University
of Illinois A large number of theso
aro to bo reexamlncd this year and
the high school visitor Is crowded
with work as never before Schools
are being accredited for whatever work
la well done There has thus been
added tho work of considering tho
claims of high school graduates to ad-
vanced standing There aro many
nigh schools in the state that do more
work than that required for admis-
sion to tho university and the univer-
sity is anxious to recognlzo that fact
and to encourage as much as possible
such advanced work In the high
schools The university Is careful also
not to constrain small high schools
to undertake more than can he well ac-
complished and hence would prefer to
accredit a small high school with less
than the amount required for admis
sion to tho university than with the
full amount loss thoroughly done
While stimulating every high school
to do all that it ought to do the uni-
versity at tho same time desires that
the high school shall work out Its own
problem spontaneously rather than be
constrained to external standards

THE HOPE OF THE CONTINENT
Western Canada tho llread llatket of
tho Umpire
Thb attention directed to the wheat
fields of western Canada during the
past year has caused thousands of set-
tlers from different pvts of tho Unit-
ed States to make their homes thero
during tho past few months They re-
port that their experience corroborates
what had been told them of that won-
derful country and they are sending
back to their friends most favorable
reports During tho past summer a
number of Wisconsin Michigan and
Minnesota editors visited western Can-
ada and the following extracts are
from a very flattering letter written
for tho Germanla of Milwaukee by Its
able contributor Prof Sheridan
Tho numerous elevators along the
line towering so far above the sur-
rounding country that they may be
seen for many mlle3 distant sufficient-
ly Indicate that the chief industry Is
the growing of wheat At tho village
of Indian Head raoro than a million
bushels of wheat were marketed last
year This was but a fraction of the
amount of the same product marketed
at tho larger cities of Brnndon and Ite
glna At Indian Head the representa-
tive of the Germanla was told by a
farmer that he was about to harvest
his third crop of wheat from the farm
upon one ploughing given it the fall
of 1895 the ciops of the current year
and of last ear having been sown
upon the stubble of the preceding crop
This farmer expected a yield of not
less than forty bushels to the acre The
farms are very large The absence of
hills and rocks contributes to making
farming on a large scale an easy mat
ter There was an abundance of evi-
dence that the cpuntiy surrounding tho
cities named above Is an extensive re-
gion of fertile lands furnishing as
great anoppoitunlty for cattleralslng
and dairying as for the growing of
wheat
Wo were surprised to find here a
rich nrowth of nearly every species of
cultivable plant Known In Wisconsin
Various species of trees were growing
showing that Its soil and Its climate
are faorable to the growth of forests
The writer had never seen a more
promising growth of wheat oats and
gaiden vegetables than was observed
hcie The experimental farm of Wis-
consin located at Madison produces
nothing better
Tho people along the line of tho
railroad however assured us that we
were still far distant from the north-
ern limit of the wheatgrowing belt
and that five hundred miles farther
north wheat and other agricultural
products were cultivated with success
The Inhabitants do not depend solely
upon the growing of wheat but utilize
vast acres In raising cattle Tho grow-
ing grain and vegetables showed that
a plentiful supply of rain had fallen
during the current year
From this city Calgary our party
was taken north 200 miles to Edmon-
ton a town of 5000people situated
on the north Saskatchewan river Tho
country at this point Is beautiful pre-
senting very much the appearance of
many sections In central and southern
Wisconsin The people are engaged In
mining for gold and In raising wheat
potatoes and cattle dairying Is also
followed This valley seems to bo fa-
vored with sufficient rainfall to pro-
duce a luxuriant growth of grain and
vegetables The soil Is very fertile
and timber Is abundant Fields of
wheat were observed that promise a
yield of forty bushels per acre The
many good farmhouses seen from the
railway are evidence of the prosperity
of the settlers Edmonton Is the ter-
minus of the road and the placo where
tho overland expeditions start from
for the Yukon It being about 800 miles
from Dawson City
f he members of the association
made the acquaintance of tho Cana-
dians of the Northwest and learned
something of tho vast extent of their
territory and of its great resources
which aro destined to make It our most
formidable commercial competitor In
the worlds markets for the sale of ag-
ricultural products Wo learned that
the Northwest Territory of Canada In-
stead of being a barren waste as
taught by our geographies of a quarter
of a century ago Is capable of sustain-

IN HENRY YjllS TIME
No Saluda Carrots jxarntps or Other
Itdlble Root
According io Hu ne there were not
till the termlnatlpi of Henry VIII s
reign either salads carrots turnlpB or
other edible roots pioduccd In England
says the Gentjemaas Magazine He
adds that such of lose vegetables a
small proportlonv aid only by the
wealthy as were used were Imported
from Holland andrianders and that
Queen Catherinewhen she wanted a
salad could only i one by dispatch-
ing a messenger thther on purpose
Hops were first Introduced from Flan-
ders In this reignNtd also artichokes
Apples and pears wwever though In-
different in quality tp to this era had
for centuries been acclimatized and
strawberries and gooseberries were
plentiful As to salads however
Humes remark must be construed with
some modification for In a homely
sense salads had always been procur-
able In England Winter and water
cresses abounded the people had also
common aloxanders eaten as celery
Is ramplon rocket borage and goose-
foot or Good Henry are mentioned
among herbs while sprout kales served
for which Indeed must have
greens
boen much In request seeing the quan
tity of salt meat eaten perennially On
the whole however until In Henry
VIII s reign theFlanders gardeners
exported their vegetables the kitchen
garden In England save In the case of
the monasterles wis very limited
The reign of the second Tudor saw
many novelties and so the art of gar-
dening and variety of flowers and vege-
tables Improved and Increased till cul-
minating In the long reign of Elizabeth
Pippins seems tohave been Introduced
In 1525 and the damask rose In 1522

year Cromw elljijearl of Essex Intro-
duced the muekJrose and several sorts
