I' ~~ —' ■ — ■ 1 ■ — ■ ' ■■ .— ■ Whom first we love, you know, we seldom wed. Time rules us all. And Life. Indeed. Is not The thing we planned it out ’ere hope was dead. The problem which worries many a bachelor is whether or not he could content himself to conform to the ruling of one woman after hav ing been a free lance so long. He hasn’t the home spirit in him and never had. He has been used to living here and there as long as he found it pleas ant—striking out for pastures new when his sur roundings became irksome to him. It was the same case II* ■ m ... ■*t.| with his loves. He discarded the old for the new, to suit his fancy. He grants that love usually changes a 1 man's entire nature. But the ques j tion is. how* long will it remain i changed? By no possibility would he i drift into his old ways and notions? Of all men the bachelor should be the 1 most clever In choosing the right kind of a wife to make him happy. The callow youth, who has not had his experience, is apt to make the mis take of his life by imagining fervent admiration to be the grand passion. When all is said and done, the man in his thirties is not much wiser. He is s just as apt to stray far afield in search — - =11 ing for the right kind of wife. It is often the matter of simple luck that he gets the right one. The well-seasoned bachelor has had so many lessons in the hook of life that his studies on woman and her nature should he valuable to him. He knows the pouting sweetheart would evolve into a grumpy wife. He knows there is tiothiug like a sulking wife to make homelife unhappy. He is wise enough to steer clear of the young woman who would do all the talking. He can see far enough ahead to real ize thnt her tongue would run on in cessantly through all the years. No matter how much the flirt has attract ed the bachelor in other days, lie is wise enough not to take her to the al tar. A flirting sweetheart is had enough, hut a wi£e whom other men were making eyes at—oh, never! The bachelor can judge with much accu racy whether or not he would be suit able for a woman when he has been in her society a few times. There is one great and glorious good trait ahout the bachelor when he docs meet the right woman, he surrenders straightway and loses no time in ask ing for her heart and hand. He makes one of the best of husbands. Places outside of home have no longer a lure for hint. Ho is forever grateful to the woman who has married him; realiz ing that the first and bc*t years of his life have been squandered and that only the husks of life’s fruitage re main for her. His devotion makes tip for all else. The bachelor does not exist who does not secretly admire modest, noble womanhood. (Copyright.) 1 SOME I 1 SMILES 1 3 «t * ,;: Power of Will.

Power of Flight That Is Possessed by Birds One of the Wonders of Nature. There is nothing more wonderful in nature than the power of flight pos sessed hy birds, and no subject which yields more startling facts upon inves | tigntion. "The way of an eagle in the air** is one of those things of which Solomon confessed himself ignorant: and there is something truly marvelous in the mechanism which controls the scythe like sweep of wings peculiar to most birds of prey. Yet even naturalists of the first order have had little or noth ing to say about the power of flight in birds, while some of them speak on very insufficient evidence, says the Boston Transcript. Witness Michelet's statement that the swallow flies at the rate of 240 | miles an hour. Roughly this gives us 1.000 miles in four hours, hut natur ally. even in its swiftest dashes, the swallow does not attain to anything like this speed. But the Puke of Argyll is rather under than over the mark when he computes the speed at more than TOO miles per hour. The mechanism of flight In the swnl i low is carried through an ascending ! scale, until in the swift it reaches its highest degree, both in endurance and facility of evolution. Although there are birds which may. and probably do, attain to the speed of 150 miles per hour, this remarkable rate Is not to he looked for in any of the birds of the swallow kind. In their migrations swallows stick close to land, and never leave it un ^ less compelled. They cross straits at the narrowest part, and are the most ! easily fatigued of all birds. Apparent ly. though they possess considerable j speed, they have no powers of sns i tained flight. Mistletoe an Odd Parasite; Has No Use for the Earth. The story of how the mistletoe gets I on the trees is a most interesting one. Covering the mistletoe twigs are pearly white berries. These come in the winter season, when food is com j parativeiy scarce, and hence some birds eat them freely. Now. when a robin eats a cherry he swallows sim ply the meat and flips the stone away. Tlie seed of the mistletoe the bird can not flip. It is sticky and holds to his J bill. His only resource is to wipe It | off. aud he does so. leaving it sticking I to the branches of the tree on which he is sitting at the time. The seed | sprouts after a time, and not finding earth—which, indeed, its ancestral habit has made it cease wanting—it sinks its roots into the bark of the tree and hunts there for the pipes that carry the sap. Now, the sap in the hark is the very richest in the tree. : far richer than that in the wood, and i the mistletoe gets from its host the ■ choicest of food. With a strange fore sight it does not throw its leaves away, as do most parasites, but keeps them to use in winter, when the tree is leaf less. Here Are Simple Tests by Which to Tell Whether You Are Physically Fit In the last analysis, the condition of the fibers of a man's heart determines i his physical fitness. O* stated In an I other way. a man is non physically fit i unless his heart fibers will stand cer tain tests. These tests have recently been reduced to such simplicity by French army surgeons that they may be applieil by any intelligent person; and they offer an excellent hygienic suggestion for persons in civil life for determining their physical condition. The tests as described in the bulle tin of the French academy are made as follows: The first test consists in having the subject, after the pulse rate at rest in the stnnding position has been determined in the usual manner, execute running steps on one spot, j with the thighs, at the rate of two ] steps a second. At the end of one minute the subject stops and remains ! standing, while the pulse is counted I for fifteen seconds in each minute, and continuing the count until the pulse rate has returned to normal, or nearly so. If the pulse rate has returned to normal by the end of the second min ute. the subject is considered fit for 1 any kind of hard physical exertion. | If, at the end of the second minute, the pulse rate is over thirty in the fifteen seconds—that is. lit) beats per minute instead of about seventy-five or ' eighty, it is a sign of slight weakness ! of the heart. Such a condition, how i ever, may be corrected by proper treat ! ment. and treatment should be under taken at once. In the second test the subject, while standing, raises a ten-pound weight over the head, then brings it down be , tween the legs with the body bent for ward, repeating this for one minute at | the rate of one cycle in two seconds. ; or one second for each upward and , each downward movement. The pulse rate is then tested as in the first ex ercise. This second test is considered some what more exacting than the first; but either is adequate for practical purposes. The First Sponge Farm. Around the shores of an island off the west coast of Florida has been es tablished the first sponge farm in ex istence. it is believed. It is estimated that 500.000 sponges are thus being cultivated. The method is simple. Concrete disks, about ten inches in diameter, are sunk, the bits of sponge being first attached by a small piece of aluminium wire: this is to hold them in position as a safeguard against be ing washed away. One disk is planted or dropped for every square yard. Fully 80 per cent of the sponges plant ed mature. The water possesses suf , ficient nourishment for them, and, un like other farming, sponges require no cultivation during their growth. They may be left alone after planting until they are large enough to gather. Much Soil Washed Into the Sea. An average of 95 tons of soil and loose rock is washed into the ocean every year from every square mile of the United States. This estimate does not inclnde the Great Basin. The Im mensity of this contribution may he better comprehended when it is real ized that the surface of this country covers S.0SS.500 square miles. May Issue Iron Coins. Copper appears to be as scarce in Scandinavia as it is in France. A dis patch from Stockholm states that the governments of Denmark. Norway and Sweden are seriously considering the advisability of issuing iron coins for the smaller currency, and three na tional banks are in favor of this project. How He Lost His Friends He was always wounding their feelings, making sarcastic or funny remarks at their expense. He was cold and reserved in his manner—cranky, gloomy, pessimistic. He was suspicious of everybody. He never threw the doors of his heart wide open to people nor took them into his confidence. He was always ready to receive as sistance from them but always too busy or too stingy to assist them in their time of need. He regarded friendship as a luxury to be enjoyed instead of an opportu nity for service. He never learned that implicit, gen erous trust is the very foundation stone of friendship. He borrowed money from them. He was not loyal to them. He never hesitated to sacrifice their reputation for his advantage. He measured them by their ability to advance him.—Success.

I In speaking of Canada a short time ago the Wall Street Journal made the statement that “The basis of Canuda's riches is the fertility of the soil, and no freak of warfare cun injure that while her grain will increase in de mand as the population of the world grows. As an investment held Canada is worthy of consideration." These words are well worthy of attention, es pecially coming from such a source as this eminent financial journal. With a land area exceeding that of the United States and with tillable area* comiug under cultivation, the wealth of Canada’s future can scarcely be esti mated. while the wealth today is such as to bring her most prominently be fore tlie world. During the past year thousands of farmers in Western Canada sold their crops for more than the total cost of their land. Lands at from $15 to $30 i an acre produced crops worth $40 to $75 an acre. Stock raising and dairy ing were equally profitable. The year 1915 saw most wonderful crops and magnificent yields over the entire country, and many farmers wiped out indebtedness that bad hung over them long before they came to the country, and the year 1916 put them in a condition of absolute inde pendence. A report to hand verified by a high official might seem marvel ous, were the particulars not well known, and where are not other cases that would seem almost as phenom enal. This is a southern Alberta story: A farmer wished to rent an adjoining farm on which a loan company held a mortgage. The applicant said he want ed the first ten bushels of wheat, after which he would divide, giving the loan company one-third. After threshing he paid Into the bank at Calgary $16 per acre for every acre cultivated, to the credit of the loan company, as their share or their third of the crop. Sixteen dollars per acre rent. His two-thirds was $32 and in addition the first ten bushels of wheat. Land on this same security can be purchased for from $16 to $30 per acre. Won derful yields are reported from all parts of this district. Recently 4,640 acres of a ranch were sold to an Illi nois farmer; 300 acres of wheat in 1916 produced a yield that averaged 42% bushels of wheat per acre. George Richard, formerly of Providence, R. I„ on a southern Alberta farm got 2,052 bushels of wheat from a 50-acre field, or over 40 bushels per acre, and from a 50-acre field of oats got a return of 76 bushels per acre and still had some sheaves left over for feeding. A report just issued by the Alberta government gives the yield of wheat in the showing of 1916 as 28 bushels per acre; 45 bushels of oats and 30 bushels of barley. Travelers through Alberta’s wheat belt have had revealed to them scenes of agricultural productiveness unap proached in any other part of the world. Alberta farms, selected with even moderate discretion, have raised men to Independence and affluence with rec ords of wonderful development unsur passed amongst the phenomenal indus trial success of which Canada well may boast. Many almost incredible yields have been reported by reliable authorities, wheat exceeding 70 bushels per acre and oats 145 bushels. Numerous records show thut the cost of farms has been more than repaid by this year's crop. In one instance, land purchased for $3,200 produced wheat which was sold for a little over $10,000. During the year 1917 there will be an immense amount of labor required to take care of the'crop in Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta. One of the problems which Western Canada has to face every year ts the securing of an adequate supply of labor to handle the harvesting and threshing of its big crops. This prob lem. indeed, is always present in any country that has a big agricultural pro duction; in the case of Western Can ada it is enhanced by the comparative sparsity of population and the long dis tance from industrial districts, which can be expected to offer a surplus of labor. In Western Canada the present diffi culties are Increased by the war. A very large number of Western Canada's small population have enlisted for serv ice with the Canadian forces in Europe, and at the present time there is gen erally speaking no surplus of labor for the ordinary channels of industry, to say nothing of the abnormal demands of harvest time. The situation, how ever, has to some extent been met by the action of the Canadian militia de partment, who have released all such men who are still in training In the western military cantos and who desire to engage in harvest work for a period of generally one month. The actual number of men engaged in 1916 In harvest work was between forty and tifty thousand. Wages were higher than usual, running from $2.50 to $4.00 a day with board, and from $35 to $60 a month.—Advertisement. _ Lost Opportunity. “I see an old gentleman approach ing.
