100,000 I3J MIGRANTS.
70,000 From the States to Settle in
the West.
A despatch from Brantford says:
Twenty-five thousand n.en as extra
help will be required in the north-
west to handle what will be a bum-
per crop, in the sense of increased
quality of wheat produced, accord-
ing to J. Bruce Walker, immigra-
tion commissioner, in an interivew
on Wednesday.
Mr. Walker stated that it was
not overestimating the yield that
120 million bushels of wheat, with-
out regard to the coarser grains,
would be harvested, and the farm-
ers would not get less than $1 per
bushel at tho elevator. In regard
to immigration Mr. Walker stated
that at least 100,000 iunnigrants
would settle in the west, 70,000 of
which would come from the United
States with effects worth $70.000,-
000. The balance will come from
Europe and eastern Canada.
HONEY PRI('ES TO ST.tY HIGH.
Late Spring llad Bad Effect on
Western Ontario Crops.
A despatch from London, Ont.,
says: By present indications the
prices for honey will remain fairly
high in western Ontario this year.
The bees Wintered well, but the late
Spring had its ill -effect. This sea-
son's crop of honey is of excellent
quality, however. The demand for
honey from the West has become
quite a factor in determining the
prtcluel honey in western Ontario.
The -Western demand is increasing
very year, as the cold Winters pre-
ent much being done there in the
ay of keeping bees.

WHAT WOMEN INVENT.
Safety Razors Among the Things
to be Exhibited in London.
What was the inspiration of the
five English women who during the
last year felt that their inven
powers were put to their best
in inventing safety razors 1
all events, five such appliances
will be exhibited of inventions by
women. 1'1►e inventive spirit of
English women seems well develop-
ed. There are on an average every
year about fifteen hundred new con-
trivances patented. The greater
number of these are naturally
enough intended for the use of their
own sex, although there are such
occasional exceptions.
Other recent forma of their in-
ventive skill when it soared far be-
yond the needs of mere women were
shown in an automobile, a steam
engine and a flying machine. Of
sterner stuff than Most of their sex
even in the country of militant suf-
ffragettes were the inventors who
applied to patent their methods
! strengthening the sides of ships
n their powers of resistance and
the new kind of invisible shield to
o worn in war. Yet these super -
omen were rare among the whole
umber, most of whom devoted
hemselves to such characteristic
nventions as new kinds of hats for
omen and children, a method of
rushing furs, an appartus to kill
hickens painlessly, new fangled
othes for dogs and similar evotu-
ons of feminine necessities. This
xhibitions a contrast to that which
ill soon be opened in Paris, dedl-
ted to proving the social misery
women through their legal and
cial inferiority to pian. It is pro-
iesied that the most stubborn op-
nent of woman suffrage will be
nvinced by this eloquent collec-
on of documents, pictures and
her evidence.

probably revolving the question of
attack, whilst I, for my part, cogi-
tated as to whether I should shoot
or endeavor to get a bit closer. The
lion seemed to decide upon retreat,
for he turned suddenly and trotted
away. I fired both barrels of my

in the flank. It was only a slight
flesh wound, but it paralyzed him
for the moment, and he sat down
on his haunches like a dog. After
a few minutes he got up and went
into a bit of open bush.
