In the days of the prophets religious
worship was a matter of the most

since then the times have changed
and men have changed with them. In
ancient days people were called to

now their attention is attracted by
brass bands and theatrical devices. In

to have become more of a diversion ,

Too many persons who pose as mor
alists have no sense of proportion.
They are inclined to judge all the rich
by the worst specimens of the wealthy ,
just as they might judge all the per
sons engaged In business pursuits erIn
In a profession by an unworthy type.
There are unrefined and Ticious per
sons in our wealthy classes ; there are
stupid and rattle-brained men and
women in society , but there is no bet
ter reason why the whole body of
wealthy persons should be judged by
the worst specimens than that any oth
er element in society should be rated
according to the demerits of its mean
est types. The rich hare their weak
nesses , no doubt , but there is good rea-
POII to believe that our sensational mor-
nlLsts exaggerate them , being blind to
the virtues of Croesus , but with a
hharp eye for all his faults.
Superintendent White , of the gov-
ernmeut hospital at Washington , who
Las nuidc a dose study of insanity. Its
muse , and the statistics ccBcerning
mental di ases. has destroyed some
umait beliefs about insanity. For In-
btance : It bas been taken for graat-
ed that farm life is conducive to in
sanity. Isolation arid lack of interests
and amusements , It has been said ,
cause men , and especially voinen , to
go Insane. Mr. White shows by sta
tistics that insanity prevails more
largely in Industrial communities than
in agricultural districts. There are
three times as many insane persons per
capita In Massachusetts as ha Texas.
And the reason : Insanity prevails
where life is strenuous because of the
strain and worry. People have but
little leisure. They are concerned about
the means of subsistence. Life under
such conditions is next to tragedy.
These things are true as to the colored
race as well as the white. The ratio
is the same and for tie same reason.
The negroes of the South take life
easy. They are content to live from
hand to mouth , taking no thought for
the morrow. There are plenty of hol
idays. Relaxation comes ol'ten. The
negroes of the North go a different pace.
Competition affects them. A colder cli
mate demands more clothes and more
hustling for food. Conditions bring
worry into their lives. The conclu
sion is plain. The simpler the life the
less liability to insanity. Look at the
Indians , says Dr. White. So long as
these aborigines live a life free from
fret and worry there is uo insanity.
It is only when artificial living and a
desire for dollars Is Introduced that In
sanity follows. "Care killed a cat , "
observes Shakespeare.
This is a leap year , but the addi
tion of another day to the month of
February is by no means Its most im
portant peculiarity. For during this
year , according to immemorial tradi
tion , it is good form for women If they
choose to propose matrimony to men
Instead of waiting for men , to .pro
pose it to them. Most people of eithei
sex would say without a moment's
hesitation that this leap year tradi
tion had never been a leap year cus
tom and that it was either a joke or
an absurdity without a thing in rea
sou or in human nature to support it
But that is going too far , for there Line
no folklore of any description , wheth
er song , riddfle or proverb , that is not ,
in the last analysis , founded on some
immutable principle of human nature ,
and so it is with women popping the
question iu leap year. The principle
of human nature on which this leap
year tradition is founded is the para
doxical one that , while the verbal and
external proposition of marriage pro
ceeds from the man , every perfectly
normal and happy matrimonial match
has its initiative in the heart of the
woman. There are many kinds of
courtship and marriage , but no mar
riage is ever a happy one unless tha
we man courts the man , albeit without !
his knowing It There Is a profound
and important reason why this must
be so. It is woman's nature , not only
In affairs of the heart , but in every
thing else , to be unable to change her
spontaneous tastes and preferences.
Her likes and dislikes display a re
markable fixity. She does not make
them and she cannot unmake them.
Whether it be in the realm of cookery ,
art , music , dress , amusement , friend
ship or love , this principle controls her.
She can be dragooned away temporarily
rily from her natural b nt , but she la
then a crushed woiran , and sooner or
later she will revert to her original im
pulse. One may say It is exactly tiw
same with a man , but It Is not A
man's preferences are largely a matter
of ratiocination. They are modified
by argument by expediency , by con
siderations of Interest , by his concep
tions of duty , by his Ideas of prudence.
This makes his heart , 1m matter of
love , a sort of chessboard ou which all
these feelings contend for the mas
tery. He is capable of loving a wo
man for a great variety of reasons be
sides the Involuntary admiration call
ed falling in love. It Is on account of
this essential difference between men
and women that the woman's prefer
ence is the thing mainly to be consid
ered if marriage is to be stable and
happy. 'The man can learn to love a
woman who Is lovely and who loves
him , but a woman can learn nothing
of the kind. If she is mated to the
man of her choice she will be con
stant , but In any other sort of marriage
she will be inconstant Happy is the
man , therefore , whose wife by mere
instinct pitched upon him as her ideal
and woe to the man whose wife waa
swerved from her instinctive choice by
the advice of parents , the love of mon
ey or any other influence to wed him.
This is the reason that it is folly
for a man to set out to win a woman's
heart at least , by devotion. The only
wise thing he can do in this line is
to stand around , accidentally and un
consciously , as it were , and let her dt

INTERESTING TO AMERICANS.
Western Canada Will Hoon Become the
Supply Depot for Wheat for Great
Britain.
During the past year about 50,000
Americans went from the United
States to Canada. Most of t ese set
tled upon farm lands , and the writer
is informed by agents of the Canadian
Government that the greatest success
has followed the efforts of nearly all.
To their friends on this side of the
boundary line the fullest assurance la
given of the prosperity that is in store
for them. There will always be a
splendid market for all the grain , cat-
tie and other produce that can be
raised in Western Canada , and with
the advantages offered of a free home
stead of 160 acres of land , and other
lands which may be bought cheaply ,
an excellent climate , splendid school
system , educational advantages of the
best , what more is required ? The hus
bandman gets more return for his
money than in any other country in
the world.
On tiie occasion of Sir Wilfred
I-aimer's visit to the Corn Exchange ,
London , England , Colonel Montgomery ,
V. D. , made several important state
ments. "The function ( he said ) which
you have just been assisting in con
nection with a kindred association has
doubtless shown you the importance
of the provision trade of Liverpool in
its relationship with the Dominion and
the enormous possibilities of the future
development of that trade. Well , the
grain trade of Liverpool has interests
with Canada no less important than
those of the provision trade. When it
is borne in mind that 80 per cent of
the breadstuffs of this great country
has to be brought from abroad , you
will readily appreciate with what great
satisfaction we view the large and
steadily increasing supplies of grain
which are annually available for ex
port from Canada , and I challenge con
tradiction when I say that of the
wheats we import from Russia. India ,
the Pacific and the length and breadth
of the United States , none gives more
general satisfaction , none is more gen
erally appreciated , than that raised in
the Province of Manitoba. We can
not get enough of it. and it is no ex
aggeration to say that there are be
fore us dozens of millers who hunger
for it. This is not the time to enter
into statistical questions , but we look
forward with confidence to the time
at which , with the present rule of
progress , the Dominion of Canada will
have a sufficient surplus of wheat to
render this country independent of
other sources of supply. I think I
may , with justifiable pride , remind you
that this is the chief grain market of
the British Empire , and through its
excellent geographical position , as well
as through the enterprise of its millers ,
It is now the second milling center in
the world. "

It is related that Pinnow , the faith

even declaring he was a clumsy fool ,

Newspaperdom relates a story of a
new reporter on a sensational New
York dailj' . who one day called up his
chief by telephone for instructions as
to what he should do. It was in the
days when the yellow-journalism craze
was at its height , and the battle for
"news" was iierce. The city editor
asked the reporter to hold the wire n
minute till he saw if he had anything
to be looked after in that section of
the city. Then these instructions came
over the wire : "Summers , a promi
nent , wealthy , young fellow named
Stuart was up iu the West Side police
court for drunkenness this morning.
He pleaded to have his name kept out
of the newspapers for fear that his
mother would hear of it. She has
heart trouble , and he says the shock
would kill ber. Go over to her house
at - West 72cl street , and tell her
about it. See if you can't kill her.
We need news. " Click. He hung up
the receiver. But fortunately the lady
was in Syracuse.
Actors and actresses do not always
allow for the fact that "property"
weather does not invariably agree
with the thermometer. Beerbohm Tree
tells that once , when he was playing
before a New York audience , the scene
represented intense cold. Mr. Tree's
lines called for remarks upon the frig
idity of the atmosphere , and as he de
livered them he drew a handkerchief
from his pocket and wiped from his
face the perspiration that had been
induced by the heavy fur overcoat he
was wearing. Kathryn Kiddef made
an equally ridiculous error once. She
bad the part of a worker in a laundry ,
and was busily engaged in ironing
when a stray cat walked onto the
stage. Miss Kidder , to give a touch
5f domesticity to the scene , picked up
the cat. petted her , and put her down
in the nearest place at hand. Sudden
ly there was a ripple of laughter in the
uidience. and Miss Kidder instinctive
ly looked for the cat. She saw her
? urled up sleeping where she had put
iier among the irons on the supposed-
y red-hot range.
FISH OF ALASKA.
rwenty Species Are Discovered by Gov-
erunent Scieiitlstu.
The party of scientists who went to
Alaska and the Arctic under orders
! rom President lloosevelt to investi
gate tlie condition of the S'almou and
) ther fish , returned to Washington ,
laving covered (3,000 ( miles of Avater ,
liscovered twenty new species of fish
md located sites for five or six new
ish hatcheries , without which , it is
said , the supply of salmon is going to
> e exhausted in a few years.
The voyage was made in the United
States fish commisioner's steamer Al-
) atross , which sailed from Seattle on
Fune IS. The government officer in
sharge was Dr. D. W. Everman and
n board were a number of professors
rom the Leland Stanford University

earning. They were called together

dent to Fish Commisiouer Bowers ,

almon canners of the Pacific coast.
Cne latter asserted that the salmon

Igures to snbstantiate their assertions.
After leaving Seattle the Albatross
ras compelled to return , a case of
mallpox developing on board. This
Lelayed the vessel two weeks. After
:
mnigation another start was made.
This time all went well and noOiing
ras heard of the party until they re-
nrned to Seattle Sept. 26.
In the two months the party was ab-
ent all of the important waters of
daska were visited and dredged. All
f the canneries and salteries in the
Vtrlct were also visited , and the ves-
el went off sihore to the Shumagin and
Ladiak islands and other lands about
Jering Strait.
While the ship was dredging , shore
arties were at work searching the
ikes and fresh-water streams , and in
tiis way a new kind of grayling nnd
rainbow trout were found. The
rayling is much larger than anything
f the kind ever seen before , and for
ameness it exceeds all known gray-
ngs. The fish was discovered by Dr.
Planer of the fish commission. The a
"rainbow trout was found by Dr. Ever
man.
[ This fish inhabits the icy waters at
the foot of glaciers , and In the more
swiftly running1 streams of the ulterior
1 of the country. They are said to
possess more gameness than any
known trout. They grow to be about
eighteen inches in length , and are as
fierce as tigers.
A sort of cod and a queer kind of
a bass , a new redfish , several new
kinds of fish which look like the blue-
flsh and weakfish of the Atlantic , but
-which are not related to them , were
also found. The cod proved to be an
excellent food fish , as are nearly all of
the twenty varieties.
The sites selected by the expedition
as suitable for hatcheries are at Yes
Bay. Klawok. netta. Afognak , Karluk ,
Bristol Bay and Woodruff. The scien
tists also intend to recommend the es
tablishment of a cod hatchery , the
others all being for salmon.
"SQUATTERS" IN MAINE V/OODS.
L > atid Owners Wniit to Keep the For

Away up on the northeastern border
of Maine , along the St. John and
Aroostok rivers , are hundreds of little
clearings in the forests. , where "squat
ters" from New Brunswick have come
in. cleared a few acres f.f land not be
longing to them , built log houses , rauHl
small crops and lame families and set
tled down in the serene and happy ex
istence known only to the Acadians ,
who are the direct de > cemlantts of the
refugees from the Land of EvangeJine.
The men who own the lands have tric < l
in all sorts of ways to get rid of these
uninvited colonists , and on numerous
occasions have invoked the- law to drive
them away. Then followel ovicttioiis

and distress as bitter as any ever wit

"squatters" came in to occupy tlhe
lands , and not all the law nor the
sheriffs in Maine are potent to ke-'p
the mild-mannered but persistent Aca
dians off the domains of the rich timber
land owners.
The little farms increased from
scores to huiulreds , and the timber land
owners appealed to the slnto to do
something list their entire holdings be
one day absorbed by "squatters , " and
so last winter the legislature passed
an act appropriating enough money to
buy 50,000 acres of lands , to be present
ed to the settlers , thus making ; ? cotl
their title to what they had come and
taken without leave. The state also
has "squatters" to contend with , for
maniy of them have settlcx ! on vim
school lands , and lately it has been de
cided instead of evicting them , to sll
to thc-m the lands they are occupying
at a nominal price. New York Tribune.
Helps to Detectives.
Each of us carries with us , every
day of our lives , a number of unconsidered -
sidered things of which , if necessary ,
detectives could easily identify us.
Take clothes first of all. A man , as .1
rule , gets all his clothes from the same
tailor ; but , whether he does or not ,
and however carefully he endeavors
to cut off every tag and mark , that
tailor would have no difficulty in ident
ifying the garments he has made.
Thread , stitching , buttons , lining all
tell their own tale. More particularly
so do what tailors call "specials. "
These are simply special pockets
fountain pen and pencil pockets , eyeglass
*
glass pockets , watch pockets lined with
wash leather , cigar , ticket , flask and
inner waistcoat pocket. A watch has
frequently brought a criminal to jus- ;
Bee. The man who has ever gone to
i good dentist has left behind him a
lifelong record which would enable
that practitioner to identify him with
ibsolute certainty. Such a dentist
makes note of every tooth he stops ,
ind more particularly of different
liincls in these days. Plain gold or ,
plain amalgam is comparatively rare-
y used. Gold and platinum in various
proportions and many other metals are v
jmploj'ed , so that , unless a criminal
ias all his teeth pulled out , he can
nest certainly be identified. Even a
ilate is as sure a clue as a coat.
A Dent in the Road.
John B. Stanchfield , of Elmira
; peaking of literary men , tells a story
Sl
> f a shock he had in a case in which
ie was recently associated. Several
witnesses had sworn that there was a
lole in a certain road. Then to the
iurprise of counsel , the principle witit
less , a fanner , on whom they mainly
lepended to establish their case , swore
hat there was no hole hi the road. le
Lfter Mr. Stanchfield and his associ- 1 1
iu
ites had recovered from their aston-
shment they sought to draw the witless - tlioi
less into some explanation of the re- fat
narkable testimony. What they B
iventually got was this :
"There wasn't any hole in that road. t ] ,
Jere's my hat. If I jam my hanq
nto the top of it without pushing it
hrough it does not make a hole. It

Billion I > ollnr Grass.
When we introduced this remarkable
ass three years ago. little did we dream
would be the most talked of grass in
merica , the biggest , quick , hay pro-
icer on earth , hut this has come to pass-
Agr. Editors wrote about it , , Agr. Col-
ge 1'rofebbors lectured about it , Agr.
istitute Orators talked about it , while
the farm home by the quiet fireside , in
e corner grocery , in the village post-
'ice , at the creamery * at the depot , in
ct wherever farmers gathered , Salzer's
illion Dollar Grass , that -wonderful
ass , good for 5 to 14 tons per acre ,
id lots of pasture besides , is always a
erne worthy of the farmer's voice.
Then comes Bromus Inermis , than
lik-h there is no better grass or better
Tinanent hay producer on earth. Grows
fierever soil is found. Then the farm-
talks about Salzer's Teosintc , which
ill produce 100 stocks from one kernel
seed , 11 feet high , in 100 days , rich
nutrition and greedily eaten by cattle.
igs. etc. , nnd is good for 80 tons of
een food per acre.
Victoria Kape. which can be grown nt
> c a ton , and Speltz at 20c a feushel ,
ith great food for cattle , also come in
r their share in the discussion.
