Sometimes .errerneed 'With eitelhegiumneter Thirty tees efgle* A writer hi Chambers's Journal thus de cribes his experiences on the Northewest prairies :- The harvest of 1891 in North- eet Canada was the largest Canada has ever had, and le was at the same time the most disappointing, The frost and the • smut combined have made a good yield and promising -looking crop almost profitlese to the settler. It leas also been the crop we have worked the hardest to save. The harvest was. late and labour soarce ; a couple of men did the cutting, setting -9, and stacking on most farms in this district. Of course, this without self binders would have been impossible; very often each man of such a couple would be the owner of sixty or seventy acres of wheat ; and they would join together to put up the harvest, of both farms. In some cases, some iselated bachelor was farmer, labourer, cook, and housemaid all in one; he, if any one, could appreciate that song where some individual introduces himself as being the "boatswain bold and crew of the captain's gig," besides covering a lot of other persons in Ins one skin. In this pert of Assiniboia the stacking was not finished till the beginning of November and then THE BROW CAME and coverered the shocks of several belated ones. After the snow the threshing - machines came ; and from then till the be- ginning of larch they kept steadily at their work, and still there are stacks left, till seeding is finished, whose owners could not get a threshing outfit who had time to come to them. The way in whiele threshing is carried on in this as in most places round here is on the " bee " system, but which is likely soon to,he replaced by each machine taking a gang of men with it. But at present when an engine and ma- chine comes on to a farm, the settlers tor • six miles round who have grain to be threshed meet there, bringing their pitch- forks with them. The married men, who have COWS and pigas 8lO., at home to be at- .LONDON NEB.OHANTS, tended to, came with their teams and wagons, and go home atnight, The bullo. lor turns all his live -stook adrift to forage for themselves, mounts his pony taking his fork and toilet apparatus -which last is rep- resented by a pipe and plug of tobacco in most cases -with him, and possibly an ox- hide blenket. He camps in every house be threshes at, if the house belongs to a fel- low.hachelor. A corner -the farthest from the door for choice -is bedded down with an armful of straw ; on this, covered with blanket and hide, he sleeps as soundly as he does in the bed which the farmer's wife provides for him when the thresbing reaches that kind of a farm. A shanty twelve by fourteen feet is large eneugh to accommodate six men at night, and to cook for and feed twice that number duringthe day. With the thertnometer i down n the zeros, there is no complaint about stuffiness. A knot -hole in the wall not big enough to shove your finger through is amply sufficient to keep the air of the house thoroughly pure, and to allow a few cubic feet of snow to trickle through on to the floor or the sleepers below. As soon as the engine has got up steam - a difficult matter on a cold day -and enough hands have arrived, a start is made. The machine sits betweeu two stacks, which are threshed together; three inen get on to each stack, or, as A general thing, the whole crowd get ou each, and pretend to ignore the fact that the straw -carriers or grain -spout require any human attention whatever. This little oversight is pointed out to them by the machine -men; and after all have claimed to have mounted the grain - stack before any one else, some of the most good-natured sorrowfully climb down, to CENTRAL rug Store ANSON'6' BLOCK. fall stock of all kind.s of ye -stuffs and package Dyes, constantly on hand.

As for any reward for hard work in the way of praise, they know too well that it is the peculiar attribute of that part of the machine that, although hard work and all the dirt come that way, the men on the straw need not look for praise. With three men on each grain -stack, two more men standing one on each side of the feeder, to out the bands on the sheaves aud pass tit= to him along the feedetable ; and three men on the straw, who stand in line one behind the other passing the straw from man to man, piling it up anyhow as lung as they cam keep the mouth of the carriers free; and when the grain -spout run into a large bin, one hundred bushels an hour is only an ordinary average when the grain is good.

These men come off at dinner -time from the straw with a crust of black as thiok as a dollar over their faces, their eyes streaming and bloodshot, an itching smarting skin, and a feeling as of a tremendous cold in the head. But en spite of all, every one seems to keep his ap- petite ; and the food at a threshing is always splendid ; "as good as threshing grub" is a well-known saying to describe anything in the line of good victuals. Dinner is generally beefsteak, as -often as you like to reach for it, with turnips and potatoes ; beside which, cakes of various and curious kinds; and pies of apple and apricot wender from handto hand about the table.

In my capecity as co:mender of the "rear guard," which I sincerely trine will not be needed to rescue his expedition, I was 'tainted by Mauler last spring into auother side of mauy-aided London. The streets adjacent to Bevis Mark in the .East End are inhabited solely by merchants who cater to the fiekle fancies of the central African. Here yen can buy drafts on such distinguished bankers as Tippo Tib, of the Congo, or my friend Sid Booblcolir, of Tim. buctoo and Tarudant. It is a regular Stock Exchange, where wild.cat speculation is the order of the day. The talk of the street is amber beads and ivory, and at your option you erte gsh o long or ort on any mj of these com odities ust as though it were Chicago gas or October wheat. The merchants are most Levantines, with olive complexions, anti all the langnages of the Tower of Babel at their tongue's end. One English merchant we met, however, whose fainily had been in the cteravan trade Bin lie She day of Mungo Park. Ere had a hunted expression in his eyes, and was evidently anything but pleased with his hereditary business, which he regarded as a family curse. "Caravan trading," he said to me one day, in a moment of expansion, "is the greatest gamble on the face of this earth. For peace and a quiet life a constable along the docks has a better time of it. You can- not mako a small deal and so feel your way along slowly. No; you must put all your ducats in one basket, and then you ietrust it for safe -keeping to some yellow -skinned Arab, who has tbe whole of the Dark Con- tinent to hide away in," From this gentleman we also learned that beads have their fashions and their chang- Mg shapes and colors like articles of com- merce in our civilized world. To keep u.p with these restless fancies of the leaders In African fashion, the merchants of Bevis Mark are compelled to keep agents in Lamm Loando, Bagamozo, Mogador, and other cominercial and cara.vaii centres, who wire anti write them of the rise and fall of fash- ions. "I should say it was a gamble," sighed the merchant, sadly. "Last year the Swa- heli traders on the Yana were shouting for perfectly round °athlete beads. So assoon as I could have them made, I shipped ont to my agents some thirty tons of them. Make money? No. Just look at this telegram from Lamu 'Fashion charmed. Swaheli traders won't have blue beads at awe price. Want green. Shall sell shipment to children of coast towns -play marbles with.' " I give this glance at the African markets to show'seme of the minor difficulties of fit- ting out a caravel). A bead seems a trivial thing in London, where it costs but an in- finitesimal fraction of a cent. But when you remember that when you reach the "land of thirst and emptiness" it will buy you an ox, a camel, or nothing at all, you pause over the purchase, and dwell upon its color, shape,and weight.-eliarperes Week - y.

You imagine that you are shooting upward, and you will stem tat among the stars. You can imagine the sensation from going down at the rate of about 100 miles a minute to going up at about seven times that rate. Finally the car lands ab the bottom of the shaft, and youebreathe a sigh of relief as you steo out. ....Well, the first thing you do is to look for salt; s there, all around you, above, beneath, on ale sides, but it don't look much like salt near -the bottom at the shafe, as lights are burned constantly and the smoke has blackened the walls. You look away to the east, through a long, dark tunnel, and you discern in the far distance some flickering tights, and you are informed that they are lights useci by the workmen who are engaged in mining the salt. Your gaide steps up to a man near where you land and says, "Three lights, -please," a,nd three tallow candles are handed out. Ie may seem a little strange that tallow candles are used in this age of kerosene, gas, and electricity, but such is the case, and they are the only lights used in the mine, and each mancarries one, and they are hung up from the ceiling where themining of salt is going am and they are the bendiest lights that eau be used. I heyelon't purchase t esa lights by the dozen or huudred, but by the carload. "The candles were lighted and with them in hand we followed the gado and proceeded to make a tour of the mine.; we might add, a partial tour, for it would take a person something like a, week to walk all over the mined territory. We followed the guide along through dark and winding pathways, until we readied a point where the work- men were busily engaged Mining the salt. They were not at work with picks picking It out, as might be supposed, but were breaking up the large lumps and shovelling is into the cars, the salt having been blasted out ahead of them. While some were en- gaged in shovelling the tiLiN1b,others were drilling boles into the solid mass, making ready for a blast, machines tun by com- pressed air being usel for thispurpose. "As before stated, the main tunnel runs directly east, and is nearly half a mile in lengtb, Near the shaft two other tunnels branch off from the main tunnel, one on either side, and run parallel with it. . These, we believe, are termed airshafts. From these shafts rooms branch off both north and south, and in these rooms is where the salt is mined. These rooms are nothing Jnore nor less than short tunnels, and in time will probably 'be lengthened out as far as the main tunnel, or even further, as .they can go miles in any direction and still be in the sale. The rooms are, perhaps, 20 to 30 feet wide, and from 7 to 8 feet in height. A section' of salt eome 80 feet fie thickness is left between each room. as a support to the solid mass above. A thickness of five or six feet is left above . as a roof, and a substantial roof it makes, as the salt in its natural state is almost as hard as rock. There are noeother supports than the col- umns of salt that are left,. "01 these rooms mentionea there are fifty or sixty at the present time, and the workmen are distributed Isbell% working in several rooms at a Mine. There is no neces- sity of a foreman in each room, as the num- ber of car -loads of salt delivered'at the theft tells the tale as to . whether the men ain thirkingetheiteduty Or nt. .A railway fans' through the main tunnels and branches ex- tend in all directions, ,The cars are hauled from the several roomie,:by large, powerful mules, and there are seine thirty of these in the mine. " There is a blacksmith's shop in the mine wher s the tools are repaired and the mules are shod, and there is also a large stable where the mules are eheltered during the night. Of course they would be well allele' tared in the mine, agetway, but if allowed to roam about they could find nothing to eat but salt and the railroad track, and the average mule cannot exist, on a diet of this kind. This stable is far ahead of the ordinary stables about the country, and there is every. mepvenienee ancl, luxury for his mule -ship. The stables are some 40 or 50 feet in length, and 29 or 30 feet evide, wills Wood floor and wooden stalls 'and' mangers. This is the only combustible sub- stauce there is about the mine, and there are no exposed leghts anywhere about it. Directly in the rear of the stables is what is ,known as the barnyard. This is a Naze room cub in the solid salt, and hero the mules are turred out for recuperation. "One may imagine that a salt mine is a bad place to work, but aside from the fact Shat it is a little dismal, there are no bad features aboutit.

We might learn much from the prosperity of the French people and of their ability to bear the heaviest burdens without giving way under them. The secret seems to be in tbe extraordinary thoroughness with which they cultivate their farms, vineyards and orchards, and the profits which they obtain from the seemingly insignificant products. Notwithstanding that a few years ago great opposition was made by the laborers to the introduction of binders and haavest- ers on the large western wheat farms, re- ports are that an army of 444,000 laborers are called for in Minnesota and South Da-. kora to help harvest the wheat crop.
