Tbe Importance of tlie British Columbia Aiurkfet to tlie Weslerii Fdimer. The following letter, of deep interest to the settlers of Manitoba,and the Northwest Territories^ appears in the last issue of the Nor'-West Farmer : ��������� , '' "It,is probably no exaggeration to nay that Alberta,' from Gardston to Edmonton is filling up'^more rapidly than any other section of the .'Northwest. A great many settlers from the United States,, possessing both capital and experience, are coming in; and'as'the best of the free homestead lands south of the,line are about exhausted, there is every reason to believe that> this movement from 'the States is destined to grow at a' constantly accelerated rate/ The Americans come here in order to obtain cheap land ; they sell their farms in, the Western States for $30 or $40 an acre and buy large blocks here for $3. It i.s a good stroke of business for farmers with' big families. '' /"Obviously, however, ��������� the future well-4/eing of these" people, with the growth of the .migration turns upon their ability to obtain* a profitable, market 'for their products.

There would be a better time and opportunity to consider these things in the future, when danger no longer hovered about them. Just now the practical business lin hand enlisted his whole attention and sympathy. That he had anticipated this very pleasant moment became evident, for what should he do but haul out from a pocket several stout little canvas bags, such as are used by banks all over the world when transporting the gold coin of the realm. .Snatching up a handful of the gems he thrust them into the yawning mouth of a small bag. As he did so, from the idol above came a rusty sound very like a dismal groan, and which naturally- thrilled the adventurer, "such was the strain upon his nerves." Springing to his feet he dashed out of the cavity and sprang around the base of the idol, half expecting to have one of,those many arms swoop down and thrust him through with a poisoned blade- A cheery laugh greeted his appearance and did much to restore his equanimity, especially -when his eyes CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY TIME TABLE _' J , also well.

All told,' the; agricultural products "and live animals with meats^-, import- eel from the United' States arn'ourucd in value'to very;iicarly_$l,000r000. ','As you "are' aware, farm products raised on .this side of the boundary are practically'shut, out bf'the United States. Their specific and ad valorem duties are higher by a good deal than ours, and, what is more, the valuation upon which their }ad valorem duties are, levied is usually excessive.' The Canadian duties were framed on thetl basis of prices in the older provinces. For example, , the duty oft $2 per ton on hay amounts to something in the east, where the price of hay is $10 or $12, but it amounts to little in British Columbia where hay coming from Idaho and Washington sells at the minas for '$20 or $24 per ton. The United States duty on hay is $4. "Again, the Canadian duty of 3 cents per" dozen on eggs looks big in the older provinces, where the farmer gets 10 or 12 cents for them. On the other hand, it cuts no figure to speak of in Southern British Columbia, where eggs frequently sell-fc>- 60 cents. ' The United States dutj' on toms valuation approximates to the fair market value, but the -American customs, on the Montana frontier at any rate, places a value on our stuff which" can only be characterized as exorbitant. I know a case -where Canadian vegetables going into Montana were valued * at ,75 per cent in excess of the current market price at Macleod and'Pincher, so that-the duty became prohibitory. c The 'Can-. adian duty" on potatoes is 15 cents per bushel, the American 25 ; Cana-~ dian duty on butter _ cents, American0 6; Canadian, oh dressed' poultry ,, 20 per cent, American 5 cents per, pound; Canadian, on live cattle, 20' per, cent, America'n 27^; Canadian on horses ,20 per cent,; American $30 , p������r head. "I am not .advocating reciprocity of tariffs, which would be as absurd ' as impracticable.

Vivacious, beautiful, accomplished, ambitious, headstrong, she was accorded the foremost place among all the belles who graced,'the many social functions it the national capital and other cen- ���ters in that .historic period. '���- Mutual admiration was the result of the first meeting of Jerome and Miss Patterson. . Soon the courtship excited the^attention" of the young lady's family, and her fatlier emphasized his disapproval by sending her away. Sepa-, ration did not prevent frequent communication between the lovers, and the determined young woman made known her purposes Ho her irate father by stating, "I love Jerome Bonaparte, and I would rather be his wife if only for one day than make the happiest' marriage in the world." She soon returned to Baltimore, and within four months after they first saw each other, on Dec. 23, 1S03, the youthful lowers were married by the Catholic bishop of Baltimore. ' - o The wedding was an international sensation and was followed by festivities and hospitalities planned on a royal scale. 'An extensive tour for those days through the New England" and middle states was signalized by unexampled ovations in the fashionable world. In the glamour and enthusiasm of democratic festiviti.es the eventuality of royal disfavor was sadly disco ud ted. The father of tbe bride had already received warnings that the marriage would not meet with Napoleon's s.iuc- , tion and . that'his. approval.''would- be necessary to any happy or peaceful alliance.- " v ! The brother of the bride was imme- - diately dispatched to London and Paris armed with necessary credentials from "Washington to invoke the aid of our representatives abroad to effect, a conciliation, with ��� Emperor Napoleon. James Monroe, the minister 'at the ; co.urt of St. James, and Livingston at Paris exhausted the agencies of di- 'plottincy in their efforts,' but "to no -avail. Proposals were made to the emperor that a munificent bounty would be provided for Jerome. Finally,a promised reconciliation was secured from Jerome's mother and all the fam- ily except that most important personage, the emperor, who remained ominously silent. This silence was painfully broken ' in about four mouths when the emperor sent peremptory orders to the French consul general in America to withhold Jerome's supplies and prohibiting all French vessels from receiving on board the "young person" with whom Jerome - was consorting. He sent word to Jerome that if he would return to France without Miss Patterson "the error of the moment" would be overlooked. In the meantime the brother, Robert Patterson, wrote home and warned Elizabeth against coming to France, as the wrath of Napoleon was very bitter. ^Before the warning was received the young couple had already' sailed for' Portugal. French and English' vessels: which had forr weeks watched for every ship which might possibly have the young couple on board, were, fortunately evaded. Jerome lert his young bride at Lis* ton and proceeded to Paris alone. History merely conjectured as to how, tie was received. Very soon the young wife left Lisbon under advice from Jerome and'sailed for Amsterdam in- the 'same vessel In . w'hich she left America. Her vessel, the, Erin, ,was not allowed to land. .'After a week's waiting the Erin, sailed for England,' and the fair but disconsolate bride was landed at Dover. From thence she went to London, and on July 7, 1805, ��� sheugave birth to;a son. After many months of harrowing' suspense she began to realize the1 treachery of her'husband. ��t ' ��' ' Napoleon absolutely ��� refused to acknowledge, the marriage as valid ,and offered a pension of G0,000 .francs'a year for the support of "Miss Patterson," as he called her, if Jerome would persuade her to( return to America and abandon the name of Bonaparte. The emperor had already requested' the pope to publish a'^bull,,annulling Jerome's marriage." ^This tbe pope re- ���fused-'to do. ^Immediately Napoleon, had the Imperial council 'pass a decree of divorce. Jerome^ was/created a-prince/of the.. empire >and advanced to the rank"of-admiral. 'Efforts- were made, to, marry him to a European princess.' *,-'��� ' '"%_, *c\ ; '/' As* late as October/ iS05; Jerome still continued to write to" bis, bride, avowing his/unchangeable love, ~, but events disproved his, loyalty, for in less than, four years after1 his nuptials In Baltimore his, final abandonment' of his faithful American,bride was. confirmed by his marriage to Princess Catherine of Wurttemberg. The marriage was celebrated' with great pomp and the approval of the emperor.*" The newly married couple immediately proceeded to"1 Westphalia, of' which Jerome had, only recently been made king. ., ���' , -" , The disconsolate bride and her Infant son - had' returned to' Baltimore.'' Her life imbittered and her,spirit envenom-, ed,-she found no,satisfaction In living 'except .in ambitious hope .for tbe'.off-. spring" of, her treacherous royal .1 bus- ��band." .' ' ��� ��� I t ��� ��' :��� Her love for Jeromewas transformed into bate and contempt. Jerome offered her a title as princess and a dower of'200,000 francs, which she refused. ,WThen he learned that she had accepted a smaller pension from, the emperor and rejected one from him so much larger, he requested a reason for her doing so. She replied sarcastically, "I prefer to hide under the' wing of an eagle rather than hang from the neck of a gosling." Again Jerome advised her' that she might have a' home in Westphalia. She sent him the reply, "Your kingdom may be large, but it is not large enough for two'queens." Her fame for .wit and repartee was international. There were,a cutting vein of sarcasm and a pithiness of humor that made her conversation interesting by its brilliant and reckless maliciousness. When she was ruthlessly shut out from the regal circles to which her husband belonged, it imbittered her against the democratic herd. Neverthe-, less when she visited Europe she was the toast of the salons and the center of attraction in court and diplomatic circles. v She never saw her husband but once after he left ber at Lisbon. Years afterward Jerome was in the gallery of the Pitti palace, in Florence, when Mme. Bonaparte was also a visitor. Jerome recognized her,as she silently walked by, and he whispered to his other wife, Catherine, "That lady is my former wife." The recognition was mutual, but no words were interchanged, and they never saw each other again. Her son developed a wonderful likeness to his famous uncle, the. emperor, and she lived in the hope that the revival of the empire would reinstate the Napoleonic dynasty and' that her son would be accorded his just position in the royal household. When the republic was overthrown in 1S52 and the empire re-established, she made a desperate effort to secure the recogni-; tion of the validity of her marriage and the legitimacy of ber son. "Jerome entered a plea to the council of state demanding that , "Jerome Patterson", should be prohibited from using the name of Bonaparte. The council decided that he was a legitimate child and entitled to the name, but did hot recognize him as a member of the royal family; Mme. Bonaparte lived to the ripe old age of 94, and her latter years were characterized by eccentricities innumerable. By parsimonious economy she accumulated a large estate, but her vitriolic, temperament held at a distance many who admired her beauty, virtue and even her vaulting ambition. 1 stood beside her grave only a few hours after she was laid to rest, and I could not help contrasting her madly romantic mesalliance with a royal traitor with the sweet love matches that have made tbe happy homes of a great republic���Sunny South. WHEN LOVE V/ENT BY. Yet She Wm Popular In Her Day. ' Mr. Augustine Birrell once incautiously purchased the works of Hannah More, 19' fat volumes of them, for something like $2.25. They became a nuisance, and he "was puzzled as" to how to get rid of them. ""As for selling them, it^is not so easy to sell 19 vol ' uines of a stone dead author, particularly if you live three milesfrom a railway station and do not keep a trap." Mr. Birrell resorted to a desperate expedient: "I had to^do something, and quickly, too, for sorely needed was Miss More's shelf. So I' buried the 19 volumes in the back garden. 'Out of sight, out'of mindi' said I cheerfully, stamping them down." He will not dig them up again.

There are hundreds of .these places that * are 'almost forgotten now even by the men who are constantly on the river. .What"brings about these violent changes along the banks of the river? Not floods. It is just the ordinary doings of the stream. "In the first place, the current of the Mississippi is wonderfully swift, and the sediment deposited at any point where resistance to the flow is offered is great. Tie a string to the neck of a bottle and sink it, with the mouth of the bottle up i and open. If held in one1 place where the flow is normal, in an extremely short1 period of time the bottle will fill with sediment. Stretch a' net across the river, a net so finely woven that nothing but the pure water of the river can pass through, and on account oftlie rapidity of the flow and "the greatness of the deposit of sediment almost in a twinkling the river would be dammed at that point. Experts have admitted this. This brings me to the point of my narrative. The flow of currents is frequently interfered with by sunken boats, perhaps by a jack- staff sticking up above tho surface. The current is diverted by degrees, generally touching the far side of the stream a mile from the point, where it again meets resistnnce and immediately begins' the building of a sand bar. "I have seen a thousand examples of this sort during my career,on the river, and I have known of instances where tho root of a tree or the mere twig of a willow has brought about similar conditions. Those things have tended to make a riddle ont of the river, yet the stream after awhile will be handled so as to undo all that it has accomplished in this way." THE FAN.

Alfalfa, whether it is desired for forage or hay, should be cut when budded or just before full bloom, as it contains more nutriment at this time: besides, it is better for the subsequent crops to, cut before it is in full bloom. After the' field is well established three or four cuttings are usually secured in a season. The value of, the hay depends much on the methpd or care used in curing it. ��������� J Alfalfa cannot be cured tbe way hay r is usually handled. After cutting, it should be allowed to lie in,the swath only long enough to become well, wilted: when it-should be raked into windrows, where 'it may be left a few hours before putting into cocks.

At the close of the planting season of 1890. having two' or three carloads of stasdo manure and about half a ton of ground bone, nitrate of soda and rauri- ate-of .potash fo spare, I concluded to utilize more or less of the waste by making a compost heap in the cellar of one of the stables. It was made with manure as a foundation, then a layer of the half rotten strawy material, over which we scattered one of the fertilizing elements, care being taken to place the most strawy material nearest the^ bottom of the heap. About half way up I dumped in and spread evenly some four cords of half rotten corncobs. With alternating layers we built up the heap to the height of about rive feet. This was in early summer. It was left untouched until planting time next spring, when on testing it I found that every substance bad fully rotted and tbe whole mass was in a fine state of comminution. Even1 the corncobs had entirely disappeared and thus added their 25 per cent of potash, to the heap. I.used-this compost on freshly broken up sod. giving it a fair dressing for a corn crop. I planted it with Longfellow and had the-'most "wonderful-results in growth of stalk ever known in j my experience as a corn* grower. By J actual measurement many of these ��������� were 9% feet in height/with the ears ' so high up that a man of average height could walk under many of them without touching them with his hat. The crop contained a larger proportion of. long,-'well'-lied ears than any 1 can. recall in a long life devoted to farming operations. The compost utilized not only much waste vegetable matter, but the nitrate of soda and muriate of potash, fertilizers which all who have kept thorn over a season are aware dampen and waste more.or less in the process of keeping.

The man had a keen sense of "humor, though obstinate as a mule about taking advice"and it was doubt- less his desperation that drove him into cheating at cards. The incident did not happen at our club, but at another, though we' were speedily in possession of the proofs. It meant hisn doom. Even if he had not been down" to his last dollar he would have been tabooed everywhere. As it was, with no hope for the financial future, he _ad only to sit down and plan how he should disappear from the sight of men. Queen had been a hot favorite In the 'club, and many of us hoped he might bring forward a good defense, but as a matter of fact he made none. There ���������was noc other way than compulsion, and while some-of the voters thought "be might drift out to the colonies and make a new start others were confident that a man of his temperament iwould not try to outlive the disgrace. 'About a week after Queen had been officially notified of his expulsion he ���������met a member of the club on,the street and through him extended an invitation to five or six others of us to partake of a little farewell dinner with "him, as he was on the eve of going away. It seemed a queer move on his part, and you may think it queer in; our accepting the invitation, but we ���������who had.been most chummy with him could find excuses for bim. It was decided to drop in oh him as individuals and in no way binding the club, and when the evening came around ���������five of us were on hand. Queen had spacious apartments in a fashionable thoroughfare, and he welcomed us ���������with the utmost heartiness. The five of' us went in together, and we found ourselves the only guests. On arriving we were ushered iuto his sitting room, from which most of the furniture had Ibeen removed. It was being packed for storage during his absence, he said, ibut we knew that it had gone to the auction rooms instead. Had there ibeen a suspicious man among us he would have wondered tbat no odors came from the kitchen or noise from the dining room, and be would have noticed that Queen seemed a hit nervous and uneasy and was doing his best to appear serene. "We had gone In a friendly spirit for a pleasant hour, and why should we feel suspicious of our host?' We were offered cigars as, soon as we got seated, and as we smoked and waited for . the dinner Queen was bright and chatty and something like his old time self. He had said that he was going away, but he did not give further particulars, and of course no one asked him. We somehow gathered the idea, however, that he was going out to South Africa. Dinner, seemed a long timer in coming, when Queen, himself brought la wine ana glasses ana explained tnat ne wished us to drink -to a toast he would give. It struck "us as strange, but he had always been a queer fellow. ''We sat in a half .circle about the table, aud as tho glasses were filled and we waited for the signal to rise to our feet the man, glass in hand, stepped back until he could lean his elbow''on the mantel and then quietly said: "Gentlemen, keep your seats. I have nothing to say regarding tbe action of the Pace club or any other club, and I am proud of the fact that a few of you" are here to see me off. It was kind of you to come, and rest assured that I fully appreciate it. Tho toast I" propose is rather odd perhaps, but everything goes, you know. Let us drink- let us drink to, the���������to the late deceased!" , < ' ,' (f> Queen was a left handed man/ He held'the glass in,his ,right-hand, and, as he hesitated over his words his left went back to his hip pocket,, and out came a pistol. We realized in a flash what' he meant to do, but it camev so suddenly that no one could put forth a hand. There was a grim smile on his face as he .placed the muzzle" of the weapon to his temple,-but he,did,,hot pull the trigger. , Outside a thunderstorm had been working up over the great city.' We had heard the low rumble of thunder,and caught,a flash or two of lightning through'tho windows. As the pistol went up to the man's temple there came a tremendous* crash, followed by what seemed to be balls of fire. floating around the room, and all of us were knocked about and more or less stunned. As we 'recovered'-ourselves and relighted* the gas we found Queen lying on his ,back on'the, floor, ,with the pistol clutched in his- hand., The weapon had not been fired, and yet he was dead. A^thunderbolt had struck the chimney, followed it down to the second floor and then, tearing its way/but, had struck our host as he leaned .oh the mantel. .T^wo,.or three men ran' for doctors,' while the. others chafed the man's limbs, and itVas a quarter* ~of an hour before we were sure that he was dead. A search for wine to aid in reviving him proved that the be'droom, pantry,1 dining room and kitchen1 were dismantled and that no dinner for us had been prepared. *He had simply invited 'us there to witness, his death and a dramatic finish to a wasted life, but at the last instant had been saved from self murder and the curtain rung down by the hand of fate.

"Well, I represent the postmaster general, the administration, the United States and the constitution, and if 1 should.meet a load of hay on the road it would have to turn out for me."

I promised him; and drove off, but as I looked back and saw him sitting on the fence with his head in his hands! knew that his. heart was broken. I'd heard that Uncle Eli Warner was full of trouble over his daughter Mary, and as I drove up to the house I wasn't surprised to see Mrs. Warner waiting for me. She had a club in one band and a package of letters in the other and was trying to look; ferocious. It was a poor attempt, however, and her voice trembled as she said: "Abo. mebbe you've heard about our Mary?" j ?".Tust a, little," says I. "I hope she's well and as good looking as usual." "No. Abe; she ain't a bit well, and 1 shouldn't be a bit surprised if her spirit sailed away any hour. As for looks, she.has aged'ten years in'two weeks.

He did not-know what a prize lie had captured, -,and took it home and had'it.'cleaned,, but,-,.oh. showing the head to Mr. Mack, the stranger was clearly identified from the - sca'es and .shape of the head as a genuine- salmo salar.

GHOSTS. For some time past, it has been known that a .genuine ghost has hauntfd the recreation grounds, and part of lower camp, and in consequence, the children, and many grown people, have been afraid to venture near those localities after nightfall. Quite lately however, two young couples thought they would ribk the spirit for the sake of a quiet walk on the bike track. W hen at the most secluded part of t-.e grounds, his ghostship appeared, and a certain tall young gentleman who hails from sunny Nova Scotia, got such a start that he forsook his girl, and ran, and after eBcon8cing himself behind a big rock pile, demanded if the ghost, "wanted .a bullet." Finally, the party collected again and adjourned to the candy store, from whence, ��������� after fortifying wittf/many cream sodas and lemon squashes, the long fellow departed for the bach, marvelling-grea tly.
