The farms of the early Selkirk set- tlers fronted on the Red River, and in order that all might have a river fron- tage without being too widely scat tered, the farms were only ten ¢hains in width, extending back two miles. The owser of each lot had also the privilege of cutting hay over a certain ares in rear of his land, and finally this ares was annexed to his'farm. The settlement was, therefore, laid out much ss were the early French sel along the rivers of Lower an arrangement that brought ' homes close foget r a front road and gave each ac- cess to the river from which practical ly all their water was obtained, and an appreciable i of their : food in. the form of fish. Farming was their principal occu- on. A few now then engaged un hunting "but for the most part the delicacies of buffalo meat, moose nose, beaver tail, etc., were obtained by trading with the half-breeds and Indians." The hoe, the sickle and the cradle were the early impiements of agriculture, but in time the hoe gave way to the wooden plough with an iron point, and after a time the reaper arrived. e original réaper was a heavy, erude affair.

An expert was sent from the east to do the work and as an assistant he secured a settler nam- ed Hugh Polson, who took careful ob- servation of all he saw, and a little later built a mill for himself and af- terwards a number of other mills. for his . "These mills did fair work, but when a long calm prevailed there was always danger of a flour famine, unless by borrowing from one another the supply could be eked out until the wind arose." rs raised large numbers of good horses, many of which were sold to buffalo hunters for use on the plains. In the ordinary farm opera- tions oxen were largely used and were often driven single in the Red River, two-wheeled cart, or hitched to a sled. Sheep were raised, $00, and in the farm houses the wool was spun into yarn and wéven into cloth for family use. In summer the farm stock ran wild on the prairies, the being out of sight for menths. Late in the autumn 'a general round-up took , all the animals being t in for shelter through the winter. Hay cutting in summer was a jolly affair, each farmer sending out his fall force of hands, who camped for days on the prairies where each party cut and sta as much hay as their stock would require during housing season.

She w | born at the beginning of 1900, and fore she was twelve months old | father's death made her a peeress. heir presumptive is her uncle, Lord' Darnley. On the death of the late Lord Love lace, three years ago, his only child, | the great-granddaughter of Byron, be- { came Baroness Wentworth in her own right. This barony has been held by baronesses more often than anyother. First conferred on Sir Thomas Went worth, Chamberlain to Edward VI. | and a connection of the family of the same name settled at Wentworth | Woodhouse, near Sheffield, and now represented by Lord Fitzwilliam, it passed in course of time to Henrietta, the only child of the fifth baron, when 'she was a child of ten. Born during the Commonwealth, she fell a victim to the glances of the Duke of Monmouth, her rents, her jewels and her credit were lovingly given to forward his plots for usurp ing the throne. From Henrietta the barony passed to an aunt, who was succeeded by her granddaughter. Af- ter the lapse of more than a century jt fell again to a baroness, who was none other than the widow of Byron. Lady Cromartie i= the only living countess in her own right. The peer- age was first conferred ap. ber grand- mother, Anne, Duchess of Sutherland, mother of the Duke of Sutherland and Mistress of the Robes in the 70s. Her Grace was a descendant of the Mac- kenszies, the old Earl of Cromarties, Land the inheritor of their estates. At her death she was suc , in ac cordance with the terms of the patent, by her seeond son. The late Lord Cro- martie died when his elder daughter was fifteen, and she had to wait two years before she was confirmed in the title. She married Major Blunt-Mac- kenzie, and has a daughter and two sons, Viscount Tarbat, the heir, is five When William Amhurst Tyssen-Am- herst was raised to the peerage in the '00s, he had no: sons but several daughters, all secomplished and all named Margaret alter their mether. The cldest of thése, who was married to Lord William Cecil of the Exeter family, was granted special remainder te the barony, and on her father's death a fow months ago became Lady Amherst of Hackney in her own right.

According to medical men we don't recline enough, and as a consequence i we are tired and "worn out" much of | the 'time. All through the east the | nations that are untainted with the | ways of the white man continue fo | crouch about their fires and gossip. | ing places. The desert Arab sils at | his ease half crouched at the door I* | his tent, eating his evening meal and watching his camels feeding in thy | grassy areas of the oasis. When tle | meal is over he reclines agninst his | high saddle and horse gear that hes | at the tent door and smokes his hoo- kah and contentedly watches the great, bright stars of the desert. He, is not bothered over whether or jot he is going to grow stoop-shouldered and ill to look upon. The Turcoman is still an unspoiled child of the sand wastes. When he rests he rests. With him, as with the Arab, the pull of gravity on the vital organs is checked by his habits of repose. They have no veneered and varnished civilization that forbids them from taking their ease in public places. The poor white man is" forced to) hold himself as nearly erect as pos- sible every minute of the day. If he slouches at his desk the chief clerk admonishes him to remember that the office is not a lounging-room. If he lolls at his case back of the counter for a needed rest of a minute or 80, he fractures some iron-clad rule anent the slouchiness of the selling force. A great many department store managers are careful to see that the processes of civilization are not check- ed in any degree by the girls who sell the ribbons, and the lingerie siting down for a moment. Everyone must be "right on their toes," and squarely and uprightly on them at that. Consequently, the earth pull, the. forces of gravity, begin to weigh on the workers like lead, late in the afternoons and evenings of the busier seasons. When the lad or lassie of six years is started into the schools a considerable portion of the teachers' time is spent in keeping them sitting bolt upright at their desks. To "rest them" they are marched around the room at regular intervals, all march- ing as nearly erect as they possibly can. The boy is given physical cul ture ad 'nauseam to keep him erect and straight. The girl is sent away to some finishing school for young ladies, where she finds that to slouch ever so littlé from the prescribed atti- tude is one of the seven deadly sins. And all the time the grip of the an. cestor who walked on his hands and feet is pulling against the hardening of the unnatural habit. -- ODDLY IDENTIFIED. Scheme Used by Doorman at Theatre In Place of "Pass-Out" Checks. When some years ago one of the doorkeepers at a London theatre re- tired from his draughty calling and was pensioned off by the management it appeared that this old man in all the years of his service had never given a "pass-out"' check to any one of the thousands of men who must have passed his doorway. A But he never made a mistake, gays The London Mirror. No one entitled to return was ever refused and no one could pass in at the end of the interval who had not passed out ut the beginning of it. The secret of the old man's success was a curious one, He depended on his ry in a very curious way. He did not remember the men by their faces, their clothes, their hats, their boots, or by wis A peculiarity of gait or appearance. anifestly such a feat would have been impossible, for ordinary "pitties" are very much alike in these details.
