WHEN A BACHELOR TAKES A WIFE
By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY.

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.

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.

THE BASIS OF
UK RICHES
A Theme Discussed by the Wall
Street Journal.
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.
