MANITOBA'S CAPACITY.
COD Balsa 3Kinumzio Wheat to Supply
AU:slots ltrgotires.
The report of the I:hilted Empire Trade
League refers to Manitoba as follows:
Manitoba has an area of 47,000,000 acres.
Deducting 10,000,000 for lakes, rivers,
townsltes and waste land, 97,000,000
acres are lefe for farm cultivation or
bomes for 116,000 families on 82U acres
each, and as up to now tbere are only
07,600 farmers there altogeeher, that
leaves room in one province for 89,008
more wheat growers. Supposing, then,
we got them there a,nd each one of them
out of his 820 acres grows on an average
100 sores at 20 bushels to the sere. If
you figure it up you will lind it is quite
possible for Manitoba alone to supply us
with all the wheat we require from
abroad. It is only a question of money,
and, comparatively speaking, not money
either. The cost of one first-class battle-
ship (about £750,000) would put 5,000
families on to farms in the northwest,
allowing 4150 to each. to find them in
implements, seeds, horses, etc. Would
keep them until their first crop was har-
vested. Five thousand farmers, averaging
100 acres of wheat each at 20 bushels to
the acre, means an extra 10,000,000 bush-
els, for if that scheme is not liked Bri-
tain would put a duty on foreign wheat.
In addition to the wheat lands ot Mani-
toba there are millions of acres in Assini-
boia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Ili, Dan and the Hem
Decidedly to -day was unlucky for
fowls, for the two terrier dogs, Di and
Dan hunted and slew one of them in
the shrubbery. They were caught in the
not, and received their just reward. After-
ward the hen, a rely large one, was
lashed to the younger dog, Dan, its legs
being bound about his neck, and Its head
fastened under b is stomach. I'or a while
he sat looking the picture of dejection,
bis sharp nose -poking out between its
tail feathers; but I think his grief rose
from the sense that he was an object of
ridicule rather than from remorse for his
crime. At any rate, as he could not gnaw
the corpse off, or even• vealle away with
it, after a while he turned it into a mat-
. tress:and spent the rest of the afternoon
slumbering on top of it, to all appear-
ance utterly undisturbed in 0011Sei01100.

the longing for loved ones whose hearts

seem Interminable. Above and beyond

own superior skill he determined to en-
gage him in single play for a very con-
siderable sum. His lordship in proportion
as he lost his game, lost his temper too;
and as he approached the gulf, seemed
still more eager for Mill.
He lost his estate; some writings were
put into the winner's possession; his
very equipage deposited as a last stake,
and he lost that also. But when our
generous gamester had found his lord-
ship sufficiently punished for his temerity
he returned all, only stipulating that he
should be paid n5,000 whenever he shoeld
think proper to make the demand. How-
ever, he never made any such demand
during his lercIship's lifetime; but some
thee after his deeease, Mr. Nash 's affairs
being in the wane, he demanded the
money of bis lordship's heirs, who honor-

The Spider's Appetite.
The spider has a tremendous appetite,
and his gourmandizine defies all human
conipetition. A scieZtist who carefully
noted a spider's consumption of food in
24 hours concluded that if the spicier
were built proportionately to the human
scale he would eat at daybreak (approxi-
mately) a. small alligator; at 7 a.m. a
laanb; by 9 a.m. a young camelopard; by
1 o'clock, a sheep, and would finish up
with a large pie, in which there were
120 birds. Yet, in spite of his enormous
appetite a spider has wonderful power of
refraining from food, and one has been
known to live for two months when abso-
lutely deprived of food A beetle lived in
a similar state of unrefreshment for three
years,
