in tlie management, There were
some features in connection with
Inst year's fair which will lx* eliminated this year: professional horse
racing, questionable side attractions
und gambling practices. The
question of changing the dates of
I the fair on account of the visit t.i
the coast of the Duke of Connaught
was discussed. Somo favored a
change, others thought a change
would be detrimental. It was
liH»lly left to the president and
secretary to arrange, with the suggestion that an effort be made to
huve the Duke of Connaught coma
up from Westminster and open -he
fair. The Indies' section nfthe pri/u
list came in for Borne criticism by
Mrs. Hepburn, who claimed thut
too much prominence waj given
embroidery work while the plainer
work was covered by a couple of
prizes. Tlie contention of Mrs.
Hepburn was reasonable and the
list will be revises! to meet the
needs of the various lines of ladies'
work more adequately. It -.vxs r---
gretteil that a greater number did
not make it a point to attend the

CHAPTER XII.—(.Continued)
Our First Winter
NOW il' uur thoughts over took ho
grim n turn we could speak quite
calmly about It. it wus impossible
for ma evor lo think of Uuth ns sick.
My mind couldn't grasp that. But
occnrlonally when 1 huve como home
wet und Uuth hus snid something
about my getting pneumonia IE I didn't
luok out, I've asked myself what this
would mean. In Uie Ilrst place I now
eould secure admission to ihe hem
hospitals in Hi*' country free of cost,
1 hnd only to report my case lo the
city physician and if i were sick
enough to warrant it, Im would notify
lhe hospital and thon would send down
an ambulance for mb. 1 would be carried to a clean bed in a clean room
ami would receive such medical attention as before I could have bad only
as a millionaire. Physicians of national reputation would attend me,
medicines would liu supplied me, nnd
I'd have a nlgkt nnd duy nurse for
whom outside 1 Would have bud tu
pay some forty dollars a week. Nol
onto ibis, but if 1 recovered I would
be supplied lhe most nourishing foods
In the murket and after that sent oul
of town to one of the quiet convalescent hospitals if my condition warranted It. 1 don't suppose n thousand
dollars would cover what here would
be glyen me for nothing. And 1 wouldn't either lie considered or treated like
t\ charity patient. This was all my
due as a citizen—us a toller. Of
course this would be done also for Dick
as well as for Ruth.
1 don't mean to say that such
thoughts took up much of my time.
I'm not morbid and we never did have
uny sickness—we lived too sanely for
thut. Hut just as our now view-pqjpt
on Dick relieved us of a tension which
before had supped our strength, so it
was a great relief to have such insurance as this in the background of our
minds. It took all the curse off sickness that it's possible lo take off. In
three or four such ways as these a load
of responsibility was removed from us
and we were left free to apply all our
energy to tbe tusk of upbuilding which
we bud in hand.
This mny account somewhat for the
reserve strength which Uuth us well
as myself seemed to tap. Then, of
course, the situation as a whole was
such as to muke any woman with im-
ttglnation buoyant. Uuth had an active part in making a big rosy dream
como true. Sho wus now not merely
a passive agent. She wasn't economizing merely to make thc salary cover
tho current expenses. Her task was
really the vital one of the whole undertaking; she was accumulating capital.
Whon you stop to think of It she was
the brains of the business; 1 was only
the machine. I dug the money out of
the ground but that wouldn't have
amounted to much if It had all gone
for nothing except to keep the machine
moving from day to day. The dollar
she saved was worth more than a hundred dollars earned and spent again, lt
was the only dollar which counted.
They say a penny saved is a penny
earned. To my mind a penny saved
was worth to us at this time every cent
Of a dollar.
So Ruth was not only an active partner but there was another side to the
game thnt appealed to hor.
"The thing 1 like about our life down
here," she said to me one night, "Is the
chance It gives me to get something of
myself into every single detail of the
home."
1 didn't know what she meant because it seemed to me that was Just
what she had always done. But she
Bhook her head when I said so.
"No," she said. "Not the way I can
now."
•'Well, you didn't have a servant und
must huve done whatever was done,"
1 said.
"I didn't bave time to pick out the
food fur the table," she said. "1 had to
order il of tbe grocery man, 1 didn't
have time to make as many of your
clothes as I wanted. Why I didn't even
have lime to plan."
"If anyone had told me that a woman
could du any more thun you then were
doing, I should have laughed nt them,"
1 saitl.
"Vou und the boy weren't nil my own
then," she said. "I had to waste a
great deal of tlmo on things outside the
house. Sometimes it used to make mo
reel as though ymi were Just one of tbo
neighbors, Billy."
! began to see what she meant. But
lha certainly found now Just as much
time if not more to spare on tho women aud babies all around us.
"Tbey aren't neighbors," sho said.
"They are friends."
I suppose elm felt like that beeauso
whut she did for them wasn't Just
WOSt«d energy like nn evening at cards.
But she went back uguin and again.
as though It were a song, to tbls notion
that our new home was all her own.
"Vou may think me a pig, Hilly."
ihe said. "But I liko It. I liku to pick
out all myself, every single potato you
and thc hoy eat; I like to pick out
every leaf of lettuce, every apple. It
makes me feel as though I was doing
something for you."
"Good land—" I said.
But she wouldn't let me finish.
"No, Billy," sho said. "You don't understand what all that moans to me—
how it makes me a part of you and
Dick as I never was beforo. And 1 like
to think tbnt In everything you wear
there's a stitch of mine right close to
you. And that when you and the boy
lie down al night I'm touching you because I mnde everything clean for you
wltb my own bnnds."
lt makes my throat grow lumpy even
now when 1 remember the eager, half-
nsliamed wny she looked up Into my
eves as she said this. Lord, sometimes
Bhe made me feel like a little child und
other times she made me feel like a
giant. But whichever wny she made
me feel nt the moment, sin* always left
me washing thai I bud in me every
guod thing u mun can have so that I
might bu half wuy worthy of her.
Thore ure times when a fellow knows
that as a man ho doesn't count for
much us compared With any woman.
Aud with such u woman us Uuth—well,
(Jud knows 1 tried to do my best in
Ihose days and havo tried to do that
evor Blnce. but it makes me ache to
think how little I've been able to givo
her of nil sho deserves.
In ber housework Uuth had developed a system tliat would have made a
fortune fur uny man If applied in tho
same degree to his business. 1 learned
u lot from her. Ins load of going at
her tasks In the haphazard fashion of
most women or doing things just be-
causo her grandmother nud her mother
did tbem a certain way, Bhe used her
head. I've already told how she did
ber washing little by little evory day
Instead of waiting fur Monday and
then tearing herself all to pieces, and
that's u fair example of ber method.
When she was cooking breakfast and
had a guod lire, she'd havo half her
dinner on ut the sume time. Anything
that was Just as good warmed up, she'd
do then. She'd make bor stews and
soups while walling for the biscuits
lo hake and boil her rlco or make her
eold puddings while we woro eating.
Wben that stove was working in the
morning you couldn't And a square
Inch of it that wasn't working. As a
result, she planned never lo spend over
balf an hour on ber dinner at night and
hy lho lime thc breakfast dishes were
washed sho was through with her
cooking until then.
Sho usod hor head even in little
things; she'd make one dish do the
work of three. She never washed this
dish until sho was through with it for
good. And she'd llnd tbo timo al odd
moments during her cooking to wash
these dishes ns they came along. If she
spilled anything on tho lloor she stopped right thon and there and cleaned
it up, with tbe result that whon break-
fust was served, the kitchen looked as
shipshape as when she bogan. When
she was busy, she was tho busiest woman you ever saw. Sbo worked wltb
her head, both bands, and her feet. As
a result Instead of llddllng around all
day, when sho was through she was
through.
When she got up in tlie morning she
knew exactly what she had to do for
the day, just how she wus going to do
it and just when she was going to do
it. And you could bank that the things
at night would be done, and be done
just as she had planned. She thought
ahead. That's a great thing to master
in any business.
In my own work, the plan I had out
lined for myself I developed day by
day. At the end of three months I
found that even what little Italian I
had then learned was a help to me.
Thc mere fact that I was studying their
language placed me on a better footing
with my fellows. They seemed to
receive it as a compliment and feel
that I was taking a personal Interest
in them as a race. My desire to practise my few phrases was always a
letter of Introduction to a newcomer.
I talked with them about every
thing—where they came from, what
made them come, what they did before
they came, how long they worked and
what pay they got in Italy, how they
saved to Ret over here, how they se
cured their jobs, what they hoped to do
eventually, where they lived, how large
their families were, how much it cost
them to live and what they ate. I
inquired as to what they liked and
what they disliked about their work;
what they considered fair and what
unfair about the labor and the pay;
what they liked and didn't like about
the foreman. Often I couldn't get any
opinion at all out of them on these
subjects; often It wasn't honest and
often It wasn't intelligent. But as with
my other questioning when I sifted it
all down and thought It over, I was
surprised at how much information I
did get. If I didn't learn facts which
could be put into words, I was left with
a very definite impression and a very
wide general knowledge.
In the meanwhile my note book was
always busy. I kept jotting down
names and addresses witb enough run
ning comment to help mc to recall the
men individually. I wasn't able to locate one out of ten of theso men later,
hut the tenth mun wns worth all the
trouble.
As the winter advanced and the air
grew frosty and the snow and Ice
camo, the work in a good many ways
was harder. And yet everything con
sldercd I don't know but what I'd
rather work outdoors at zero than at
eighty-live. Except that my hands
got numb and everything was more
dllllcult to handle I didn't mind tho
eold. Thero waa generally exorcise
enough tt» koop tht blood moving.
Wo had a variety of work boforo
spring. After tbe subway Joh I shifted
to a big house foundation and there
met another group of skilled workmen
from whom I learned much. The work
was easier and the surroundings plon-
santer if you can speak of pleasant
surroundings nbout a hole In the
ground. Tho soil was ensler to handle
and wo went to no groat depth. Here,
too, I met a now gang of laborers. I
missed many familiar faces out of the
old crowd and found some interesting
new men. Rafferty hnd gono and I
was sorry. I saw moro or leas of him,
however, during the winter for he
dropped around now and then on Sunday evenings. I don't think he ever
forgot the Incident of the sower gas.
I enjoyed, too, every hour In my
night school. I found here a very large
per cent, of foreigners and thoy were
naturally of the more ambitious typo.
I found 1 hud n great deal to learn even
in lhe mutter of spreading mortar and
using a trowel, lt was really fascinating work and In tho Instructor I
made an Invaluable friend. Through
him 1 was able to arrange my scattered fragment! of information Into larc-
r*r groups. Llttlo by llttlo I told him
something of my plan and ho was
very much Interested In it. Ilo gave
me muny valuable suggestions and
later proved of snb.stantlnl help in
mnre ways than one.
CHAPTER XIII.
I Become a Citizen
As I said, there wero still many opportunities Which I didn't havo time to
mprove. The three of us seemed to
havo breathed in down here some
spirit which loft us almost feverish In
our desire to learn. Whether it was
tho oppurtunity which bred the desire
or the desire as expressed by all those
newcomers, fresh from tbo shackles of
their uld lives, which created lho opportunity, l leave to the students of
such matters, All I know Is that we
were offered the best In practical Information, such as the trade schools
and tbe night high schools; the best In
art, tho best In music, thc best In the
drama, I am speaking always of the
nowcomer — the emigrant. Sprinkled
in witb theso was the cheaper element
of the native-born, whether of foreign
or of American descent, who spent
Ihelr evenings on the sireet or at the
cheap theatres or in the barrooms,
This class despised tin* whole business.
Incidentally theso were tbu men whu
haunted the bread line, the Salvation
Army barracks, und wero tho Ilrst to
join in any public demonstration
against the'rlch. The women, nol always so much by their own fault, were
the typo which keeps the charitable
ussociutions busy. I'm not saying that
among these there were not often cases
of sheer hard luck. Now and then
sickness played the devil wllh a family
and more often tho cussedness of some
one member dragged down half a dozen Innocent ones with blm. but 1 do say
that when misfortune did come lo this
particular class they didn't buck up to
it as Helen Bennington did or use such
means us were al their disposal to pull
out of it. They just caved In. EJven lu
Iheir dally lives, when things were going well with them, they lost In the
glitter and glare of the cily that, spark
which my middle-class friends lost by
stagnation,
Beeauso tben* was no poetic romance
left in their own lives, tbey despised It
in the lives of others and laughted at it
in art. Whatever went back into the
past, Ihey looked upon scornfully as
"ancient." They lived each day as it
came, with a pride In being up-to-date.
Ah a result, they preferred musical
comedy of thc horse play kind lo real
music; they preferred cheap melodrama to Shakespeare. They lived and
breathed the spirit of the yellow Journals.
I don't know what sort of an education It is the Italians come over here
with, hut they wore a constant surprise
to me in their appreciation of tho best
in art. And it was genuine—it was
simple. I've heard a good many Jokes
about the foolishness of giving them a
diet of Shakespeare and Beethoven, of
Maeterlinck and Mascagnl, hut that
sort of talk comes either from the outsiders or from the Great White Way
crowd. When you've seen Italians not
only crowd In to the free productions
down here but have seen them put up
good money to attend the best theatres; wben you've heard them whistle
grand opera at their work and save
hard earned dollars to spend on It
down town; when you've seen them
crowd the nrt museums on free days
and spend a half dollar to look at some
private exhibition of a fellow countryman's, you begin to think, If you're
honest, that the laugh is on you. They
made me feel ashamed not only because I was ignorant but because after
I become more familiar with the works
of the masters I was slower than they
to appreciate them. In many cases I
couldn't. I didn't flatter myself either
that this was because of my superior
frankness or up-to-dateness. I knew
well enough that lt waa because of a
lack In me and my ancestors.
Scarcely a week passed when there
wasn't something worth seeing or
hearing presented to those people. It
came either through a settlement house
or through the generosity of some interested private patron. However It
came, it was always through the medium of a class which until now had
been only a name to me. This was the
independently well-to-do Amerlcnn
class—the Americans who hud partly
made and partly Inherited their fortunes and had not yet come to misuse
them, lt is a class still active in American life, running however more to
thc professions than to business. Many
of their family names have been fam
iliar in history to succeeding generations since the early settlement of New
England. Tbey were Intellectual leaders then nnd thoy are Intellectual lead
ers now. If I eould with propriety I'd
like to give hero a list of hnlf a dozen
of those men and women who came, In
time, to revive for me my hellef that
after all there still is loft In this country the backbone of a worthy old stock,
But they don't need any such trlvlnl
tribute as I might glvo them. The
thing lhat struck me at once about
tbem was that they were still finding
an outlet for tholr pioneer Instinct not
only In their professions and their
business, but In the Interest they took
In the new pioneer. Shoulder to shoulder witb tho modern Pilgrims they
wen* pushing forward their investigations In medicine, in science, In economics. They wore adapting old laws
to now conditions; they wore developing the now West; thoy were the new
thinkers and tho now politicians.
1 don't suppose thnt If I had lived
for fifty yenrs under the old conditions
I would have met one of thom. There
wus no meeting ground for us, for we
had nothing In common. I couldn't
possibly Interest thom and I'm suro
I was too busy with my own troubles
to lake nny interest In them even If I
hud known of their existence.
Even down here I resented ut flrst
their presence as nn Intrusion. Whenever I met them I wns Inclined to piny
the ead and there's no bigger cad on
the face of the earth than a working-
man Who Is beginning to feel bis oats.
Hut as 1 watched them and saw how
inmost thoy were and how really valuable their efforts were I was able to
llstingulsh them from still another
irowd who flaunted Ulttlr silly charities
In the newspnpers. Bul these other
let men and women were nf differ-
t ijillbro; they wore tho ones who
established pure milk stations, who encouraged the young men of real talent
lil.e Giuseppe, and who headed all tho
ronl work for good done duwn hero.
Tliey came Into my lifo when 1 needed them; when perhaps 1 was swinging too far in my belief that tho emigrant was the only force for progresy
in uur nation. 1 know they chocked me
in some wild thinking in which 1 w-is
beginning to indulge.
I Iind 1 have been wandering a littio.
Hut what we thought counted for as
much towards tbe goal as what we did
and oven if the thinking Is only that
nl' one man—and an ordinary man at
tlmt—why, so for that matter was th-
whole venture. I want to say again
thai all I'm trying to do Is to put down
as well as 1 can remember and us well
as I um able, my own acts and
thoughts and nothing but my own. Of
course that means Uuth's and Dick's
luo as far as I understood thom, for
they were a part of my own. I don't
want whut I write to he taken as the
report of an investigation but just as
Uie diary uf ono man's experience.
If I had had tho tlmo I could have
seen at least two of Shakespeare's
plays—presented by amateurs, to bo
suro, but amateurs with talent and enthusiasm and guiiled by professionals.
I could have heard at least a half dozen
-.•.end readers read from the more modern classics. 1 could have listened to
us many concerts by musicians of good
standing, I could have heard lectures
on a dozen subjects of vital interest.
Then there were entertnininenls designed confessedly tu en ter la In. in
addition to these thero were many
more lectures in lho city itself open
froo to the public and which I now for
lbo first time learned about. There
was one series in particular which was
addressed nine a week by men of international renown. It was a liberal
education In Itself. Many of my neighbors attended.
(To be continued.)
ASIA THE HOME OF PROVERBS
Asia Is the continent of proverbs, lt
has well heen said thai n proverb Is
oue man's wil ami all men's wisdom.
Over on lho other side of lbo world
lu Indln, you meet wilh muny epigrammatic sayings, and one soon comes to
realize tho great Inclination of the
mind to Ihlnk and speak In the groove
uf proverbs.
The Hindi dohn is a strange thing,
lis linos are rhymed, und the rhymed
couplet has lhe balanced form and
condensed message of tho poetry of
Alexander I'ope. Hindi poetry Is
usually printed without separating
words, and as a result the reader may
often make many plays on words, a
performance Ihe Indian mind takes do
light In. Indeed, the more possible
meanings to bo gotten out of a liltle
two-lined proverb the bettor. It Is a
beauty and hot a defect to havo a
plural meaning or be able to be twisted
and turned by a new arrangement of
the letters and words into a proverb
of totally new moaning. Tbe epigram
Is on every man's lips. We are
continually being told "that the little
pot soon boils"; "Flint is cold, but It
contains fire"; "Prayer Is tho pillar of
piety"; "It takes time to be successful,
but no time to lie ruined"; "Do your
work and let the curs bark"; "Threo
men can keop a secret—when two of
them are dead," etc.
In a country where the great percentage is illiterate, motto cards have
not yet achieved their American popularity; but every Indian is himself a
travelling motto card. The older the
saying the better. Tennyson has real
Ized this ln his description of the
proverb: '
Jewels Ave words long
That on the strotch'd finger of all
Time
Spnrklo forever.
MOSES MAY HAVE BEEN AN
ELECTRICIAN
That electricity must have been
known to the ancients has been many
times asserted, but now comes forward
an electrician in Munich—Mr. Studel-
mann—who has lieen in times past an
archaeologist, to assert that he found
In Egypt, in burled walls, indications
denoting the use of electric lamps. He
claims that Moses brought electricity
from Egypt and that there are Biblical
paragraphs which will bear him out In
his stntements that lightning rods
were In use in the temple of Jerusalem
Stadelmaun believes that thc serpent
of bronze of Moses was nothing moro
or less than an ordinary lightning rod
such as Is in use today. Moses may
yet be known in history as tho "electrician," Instead of the "law-giver."
AGAIN THE SLOT-MACHINE
The intej in-biin trolley cars about l.os
Angeles aro equipped with a new de
vice that does away with Iho newsagent and saves a largo amount In
salaries. It consists of a metal container, which holds a number of copies
of each of the morning papers, as well
as one periodical. These papers can
he secured by dropping the price In
tho slut and pressing a lover. As the
prices vary from ono cent lo tlve. a different slot Is usod for each compartment. The machine rejecls lightweight and worn coins, which run
through tho mechanism and are relumed to Ihe depositor.
THE ANCIENT ART OF MAP*
MAKING
Map-making Is very old, and has
boon practised by Die most primitive
peoples for many ages. Uud*- scrnlehes
un many rocks In South America are
now Interpreted as maps, Kast
Greenland natives carve maps uut of
wood; American Indians make map-
skclchcs on birch nnd othor barks;
the Marshall Islanders charted the
sailing routes along their coasts long
before they knew of tho white man;
the desert nomad sketches maps In the
sand to illustrate his wanderings, and
nearly evory primitive tribe to-day
makes maps to show mules to hunting-
grounds, animal paths, fisheries, fords,
etc. Thoy know as well ns wo tlo
that maps aro practically a human
necessity; bul we know further that a
good map often places before our eyes
an amount nf accurate geographical
Information thnt might tnkc many
months to dig out of books. Wo may
cite a map of Africa, new over twonly
yenrs old, the largest of lhat continent
produced up to BtflO. Hermann llubc-
nlcht, the compiler, ransacked tho
literature of African exploration to
Iind out what each traveller wrote
about the nature of tbe regiuns along
his route; and the map showed those
routes, and marked ulong them thu
forest, grassy, sandy, or tillable
stretches, the water resources, native
settlements, and much other Information gleaned by pioneer explorers. The
map was u lime-saver for students, a
tinu epitome of some phases of tbe
work done by many mon over a long
series of years. The leading geographers uso tho perfected map of to-day
as much as they do books, and often
more. Dr. Hermann Wagner, for example, lias said tliat maps wore his
largesl dependence in lhe production
of his great Lehrbuch der Geographic.
Hut though map-making is very old,
lhe kinds of maps most useful now
have nut very long been made, The
aliases uf a century ago did net con-
taln a tithe of the. information now
expressed on atlas-sheets. Twu generations ago lhe maps used in European schools gave little more tliau a
fow geographical outlines, such as
coasts, political boundaries, rivers, aud
place names; sometimes a few scrnlehes lo represent mountains, hut not always, it was only sixty-throe years
ago lhat Em 11 Sydow published in
Germany the flrst edition of his school
atlas, Iu Which he Introduced Lhe revolutionary Idea tbat school limps should
leii children something more of geography tlmn lhe positions of cousts,
waters, towns and boundaries. Maps
should picture as well tbc mountains,
valleys, and plains, Cartographic expression should be given to the land
forms, and maps should help the
teacher to show what the surface of
Ihe oni'th Is really like.
This fundamental Idea Ims ever since
been steadily developing, Matt symbolism has wonderfully grown, (ill It Ih
to-day fully adequate far the graphic
expression of a large variety of facts;
ami, host of all, the -European map-
makers, by Iheir use of contours of
elevation, hachuros, colors, ami light
and shade effects, have so perfected
methods of showing Ihe diverse forms
of Ibe earth's surface lhat even on a
small-scale map of the Swiss Alps, for
example, we may see before us Ihe
wonderful complex of high mountains,
deep valleys, snow-tlelds, und glaciers.
Wc may see the birth-place of lhe
Rhine, whose glacial brooklets Issue
from an Ice mass high up on the
slopes; the little lake perched far
above the valley in a small depression
filled by tho melting ieo of the great
Rhone glacier. These atlas-sheets are
small, and nature is large; Imt the tine
art of generalising land forms has
been so perfected by European cartographers that, though a great many
details must be omitted, still the essentials of form are preserved, so that
he who knows how to road maps may
easily Iind tbe essential truth In the
map picture.
Tho sclentitlc map, so faithfully depicting the manifold aspects of tbe
earth, has helped us to an interesting
discovery. Wo know now thut while
the great object of goography Is to
describe the earth's surface, lungauge
alone Is lnsutllcient for this purpose.
Only in the most general terms can
speech draw a picture of the faco of
tho earth. If wo go Into detail and
try in words to glvo a complete description, the picture is vague and Ihe
mind cannot fully grasp It. The goo-
graphical description must always be
associated with the map picture In
ordor to Impress upon the mind a clear
and orderly Idea of lhe various phase
of Iho earth's surface.
MAPS AND MAP-MAKING
If we had before us a map of the
world showing what Is known of Its
surface forms and other geographical
features, on a uniform scale so large
lhat all essential detail should stand
out for us lo rend, we might justly regard it us a monumental achievement,
a blessing conferred upon ns by modern civilization. It would give a true
and clear picture of our earth as far
as we have studied Its nspects. With
the hundreds of sheets drawn on the
same map projection nnd scale, using
lhe same system of colors and other
symbols lo express facts, it would be
easy lo compare every land surface
with every other and to note all Ihelr
similarities and contrasts. The map
would bo a short cut to accurate geographical Information, mado roady for
lhe use of alt peoples.
We shall have such a map before a
great many years. The leading nations
are co-operating tu produco It. The
work is advancing every day even in
lands thut are remote, ln July this
year plans were published In Germany
showing tlmt thirteen contiguous
sheets of the map. on the scale and
projection selected, have been made by
European governments of parts of
Russian und Chinese Turkestan, Persia, and Afghanistan; twenty-two
sheets of parts of ("hlna, Korea, French
I iido-Chi nu. and Japan; and eight
Sheets covering the Bahamas and lhe
Greater Antilles. Theso are not thc
llnlshed sheets, but are the basis upon
which the rules adopted by thc International Conference In London In November, 1009, as to coloration, tho
spelling of place names, and olher de-
mils, will be expressed to make Ihem
strictly conform with all Ihe other
sheets In the great standard map of
(he world. Frauce and Groat Britain
are mapping tholr African colonies on
the required scale. Dr. Henry Gannett, Geographer of the United States
Geological Survey, has prepared a
number of these shoots, embracing
parts of our Eastern, Central, and
Western States; and he was a prime
mover In the convening of the London
International Conference that at last
placed thc project upon a practical
basis.
The Idea of a standard map of the
world was first proposed by Prof. Al-
brochl Penck at the International Geographical Congress, Bein, In 1891. He
baity showed the advantages that
would result If thc nations should cooperate In producing a world map on
the comparatively largo scale of one.
millionth (1:1.000.000), or IM statute
miles to an Inch. Tho project was
heartily approved by this and later
congresses. Committees wore appointed
lo promote (he movement, and Great
Britain. Germany, and France began
lo make maps on the required scale.
Little practical progress, howovor, was
made till afler Dr. Gannett reported
that thu United Slates government
could nut publish tho sheets he was
preparing been use no agreement hud
been reached as to tho color scheme
and other essential details, No general
plan had been adupted for the uniform
production of those map-sheets. He
therefore presented, through Dr. Day,
of Washington, a recommendation to
the international Geographical Con-
gross at Geneva, in lHUS. to appoint a
commission to work out a uniform plan
for producing tho map.
This plan waa prepared by lhe Geneva Congress, and it was decided to
submit il to a conference of the map-
making nations, which was accordingly
convened by the British government
in London, in November, 1900. The
conference was completely -successful,
its decisions were Una), and the map-
makers of all nations were at last In
a position to co-operate In currying
out lho plan,
This fortunate result involved mutual concessions, but the plan as perfected was heartily and unanimously
adopted. Greenwich Is to ho the initial
meridian. Tin* metric scale for dls-
luticcs and for altitudes above sea-level

IN THE YOUNG REPUBLIC
No boy Is forced to work; but if he
does not choose to Work, then he does
not cat! lt occasionally takes hipi
some days to realize lhat this is a fact
and nol au abstract thoory with which
ho Is confronted; bul ho is taught the
fact by actual hunger, and then he goes
to work. Thore are ample opportunities fur him to earn his own living, but
the work is real and hard, and Is paid
for in proportion to its value, each
worker standing on his individual merits as shown by his skill and Industry;
the hoys themselves insist on a course
whicli develops and rewards Individual
efficiency, Drones and Idlers are not
tolerated; tbey are allowed to quit
work if they wish, and if they work
badly they are discharged; and then
they find that starvation Is not very
far distant.
Newcomers often fall to understand
just what Is ahead of them; but it
takes them only a vory few days to
learn. Thc education Is of thc most
practical kind for boys nnd girls alike;
each, when he or she leaves the He-
public, can begin a wage-earning career without the smallest break. In addition, the ones with special aptitudes
can train themselves for all kinds of
special careers; and all alike are turned out with special training In the
applied principles of democratic citizenship of tho most healthy type.
SOME SPEED, THIS
The people tif the Argentine Republic wore so interested In thc launching of their great battleship Moreno,
at the yards of the New York Shipbuilding Company in Camden. N.J.. on
Saturday. September*-.!. 1911, that lho
Central and South American Telegraph Company asked the Western
Union to arrange a special wire lo flash
the announcement. The M*»renn glided Into the wator at 2.3.1 p.m.; Instantly
Camden flashed "2.33" to New York-
New York cabled to Colon In the same
Instant, Colon flushed lt lo Valparaiso
and Valparaiso lo Buenos Ayres
Buenos Ayres acknowledged Its receipt and bulletined tho Information nt
2.33 p.m. In other words, the news
arrived In Buenos Ayres In the fraction
of a minute, even before the rl^p'es
caused by Ihe battleship's entranc- luto
the water had subsided.
ELECTRICITY IN WHEAT RAISING
The practicability of using static
electricity to supplement stinllchl In
thc cultivation of winter wheal Is being tested nt the Government Experiment Farm at Arlington, Vn.
The theory of Ihe Government soP*tv

is lhat the natural electricity In Iht -
atmosphere Is beneflclnl tn plant '

be nn reason why. If Ihls naturnl electricity be amplified or Increase, by
mechanical means, nnture will not be

Peace for Mr. Reese in llie smoking

who like Comic Opera must he

All residents of Chilliwack remember tho Mikado and Pinafore
which were put on by practically
the same Company that is now putting on Patience.
The crowded houses which marked the production of these lirst ones
showed thc appreciation wilh which
the effects of the local talent was
received.
Thc Company is now putting on
the opera which is by universal consent acknowledged to ho the prettiest, sweetest of the list.
Its daintiness and absolute freedom from even -m idea of coarseness make it unique amongst work
of this kind.
The opera "Patience'* was written
nnd composed by Gilbert and Sullivan in ISM with tbc intention of
.casting ridicule upon lbc Aesthetic
movement which wns in full swing
in Lisiiilon ut thnt time.
The devotees of thc movement hnd carries! Iheir notions of

No mun hud ever kissed her except

when Hose could not say "brother"--
and he would kiss her on lho forehead, falheiwlse, Moreover, lie didn't

together In the •Budd home, Huse always in tlie centre, her brother possessed of one hand, her friend of the
other; a fourth, Mrs. Budd, sitting
apart, reading or sewing, or else, with
eyes closed and hands folded, dreaming
of lhe father of tlie twins, dead before they were born.
lt was dusk. The mother wus
neither reading nor sewing. Since
Rosebud's "Only three more days
now!"—a remark followed by three different sighs—no one had said a word.
That was ten minutes ago; during ull
of which time the central figure of our
story hud been manoeuvring to get
her friend's hand Into her brother's.
She hud just succeeded, nnd wus smiling to herself, when "buzz!" went the
doorbell.
In next to no time, Rose had pressed
a button, another, and the dusk wus a
thing of thc pust. Her hand on thc
knob, she hesitated a moment—why,
she knew not—then drew the door Invitingly open.
Said the stranger: "Miss Budd?"
Rose, taking blm In at a glance,
smiled a "Yes."
"1 am Dr. Alardice," he announced;
"and 1 have come to bring you down to
Stanford with me."
These were words to take a maiden's
breath away; especially from one so Irresistible us was he that uttered them;
but Rose, bravely: "By main force,
this very minute?"
Dr. Alardice kept a straight face.
"My orders from the head of the department," he said gravely, stepping
Into the hallway. "Bring her wilh
you, hy main force, If necessary!"
"1 cun hear him saying It," Bald Rose.
"I can see myself doing It," said Dr.
Alardice.
"What?"
"Carrying out my Instructions to the
letter."
Rose took a rtep towards thc drawing-room, but that would be retreating, and, besides, Alice wns there. Men
of brains not a few came to sec Miss
Budd, and every one of Ihem made
much of her, Invariably treating her
as an Intellectual equal, almost ns If
she were a man; but. Invariably, they
made love to Miss Budd's chum, treating her as—well, ns If she were only a
woman. Not a man of them ever forgot lo pay to Mlsa Day the attentions.

due from brains to beauty, but not, It
seems, from brains tu brains; for sooner or Inter Rose found these self-same
gentlemen, every one, strangely Innt

fancied she did—and the lower the poor
girl drew her rebellious auburn hair

feminine without und within sho tried
to mnke herself, the more mannerless

they would listen to her, nud look at
Alice; all cars for the one; til eyes
for tho other. Thut Is why Rose,
brnve tass, now slood her ground, In
no humor for Ignominious flight Into
the drnwlng-room.
But the hostess reckoned without one
of her guests. Out pops Alice, fetnl
nine from top to toe, "Oh, pnrdon

the voice. I wns unite sure It was our
dear Professor Thomns, and Just couldn't wait n second longer."
"Miss Day. Dr. Alardice."
"I know Dr. Thomas very well Indeed, Miss Day—am his son In sclenco,
nnd only wish thnt my vole© were
really like his—authoritative. Ho U
our greatest phychologlst; Is ho not,
Miss Budd."
Rose nodded assent.
"Oh, Dr. Alnrdlce," cried Alice, compassionately, "I see you nre In for lt.
nnd It's nil my fnult—Rose will Insist
nn talking 'shop' with you nil the evening, now. I'hychology's Greek to me.*'
And greetings over, tulk "shop" they
did, the very thing Rose had made up
her mind to avoid. The mother, as
usual, was silent. As usual. Alice
made ready for conquest In u war not
f words. As for Buddy, he played
his wonted role, watching thu fortunes
of war, a not unlnturestcd spectator.
Yei all llvo seemed to tuko purl in the
eonverHulion.
Thoy chutted of lhe frailty of tho

from being infallible Is touch.
"Touch la sight* to the blind. They
see with their lingers, don't thoy, Dr.
rUardlce?" Thus she to whom psychology wus Greek.
Idko tho rest of us," said Dr. Alardice, "Ihey BOO much that Isn't ho. The
wisest lingers may lie fooled. l''or Instance, a woman bll tilled liy love,
thrills under her lover's hand, uud
fondly believes she could tell it oui of

most sensitive and loving bride that
ever was could distinguish by mere
touch, mere thrill, tbe beloved hand
from a strangor'si the man's fiom u
woman's, even."
Tbe in..(her. thrilling under tbe lunch
ol a vanished hand, still led her dissent, Alice looked unutlerabtc re-
proach, making In her own way argu«
ment not to be resisted, most of which,
however, was lost on the sclent Is ,
though none ou Buddy. Rose called
lo mind how lime and agdu she hul
fooled her brother. In her eyos wns

Dr, Alardice smiled, us much us to
say: "I am a man of solonco; you, uftei
all, are only a woman." lie was lhe
tlrst thnl hud ever dared to smile such
a thing ul Miss Budd, psychologist, uud
yet, to tell the truth, she rulher liked
his Impudonoo, What sin* said was:
"I believe 1 COUld, Just Ihe sume."
Hahl Alice: "Rose has second Bight at
the tips of her fingers,"
The nun) of science smiled. "Let's
try un experiment," he suggested, "for
the fun of the thing."
"Oh, let's!" cried Alice.
"MIhb Budd," quizzed thi' professor,
"you have Known everybody lu tnis
room for a number of years; haven't
"Ves, for nearly a quurtor of u century."
"All, except me."
Miss Budd looked as If she hud already flunked.
"It does seem as if we had known
Dr. Alardice a. quarter of a century;
doesn't It, Rosebud?" Thus Alice,
coming to her friend's rescue.
"Rosebud," echoed Dr. Alardice, inadvertently. Then, he went on with
his quiz. "Well, Miss Budd," said he,
"supposing wo blindfold you; turn thc
lights low; go out of the room for
ten minutes or so, to give you u chance
to collect your senses; then come in,
one ut a time, and see if you can tell
which of us has touched you. Sit with
your hands on your knees, palms upward. Don't move a finger. Call the
name aloud; so that those outside cun
hear you."
Seeing that thero was no getting out
of it. Rose agreed to everything and
requested Alice to blindfold her; then,
ln turn, her brother and her mother.
None would do it, all being of the opinion that Dr. Alardice was conducting
the experiment. So, in the end, he did
the blindfolding, and did it thoroughly,
for thoroughness sake, taking his time
ubout it. He was the lust to leave
the room.
To Rose, alone, vainly trying to compose her thoughts, the ten minutes
seemed so many hours.
At last, however, she heard thc unmistakable rustle of taffeta, caught a
whiff of a fashionable cologne—a bot-
lleful of whieh she hud that very duy
presented to a dear friend—and felt a
soft cheek—nothing in the ear—laid
uguinst hers.
"Alice!" she shouted.
Again, tho rustle of taffeta, then silence for tho time It takes a woman's
heart to beat two hundred; then, a
heavy footfall, the squeak of a man's
shoes; odor of tobacco, very faint; a
hand (right; no ring) on her right
hand. Her knees trembled; she drew
her hand away—which wus against tho
rule—and. In a voice neither very loud
nor scientific nor steady, cried: "Dr,
Alardice!"
Tho squeak died away. All was
still. The swish-swish of skirts; no
taffeta; no perfume; a hand (the left;
ring on third finger) pressed lightly on
her left hand.
"Mother!"
Silence. A man's step, quick, no
squeak; odor of tobacco, very strong;
lips (no moustache, no beard) ever so
Indifferently on forehead.
Rose did not call the name aloud
she raised her hands, clasped them
about the man's neck, and kissed him
audibly on the mouth.
A mar of laughter wont up. The
subject tore the bandage from her eyes.
A smooth •faced stranger, In her brother's smoklng-Jackel, stood beforo her.
Buddy, In Dr. Alardlce's frock, oat, and
Alloc, In Mrs. Budd's black cashmere,
were dancing up nnd down ln tho centre of tho room; while her mother, in
Alice's blue silk gown and taffeta petticoat, was smiling at her from the
doorway. All at once, something In
tho stranger's eyes struck Rose as familiar. She sprang to her feet.
"Dr. Alardice!" she exclaimed, "what
have you done with your beard? How
dare you! You had no right to do It!
I just hate you!"
"You did It yourself!" shrieked Alice,
and doubled up. "You did It yourself
—wo all saw you—you who have sworn
by all the saints In tho calendar never
to kiss a man save Buddy and tho
one you were going to "
"Miss Budd," declared Dr. Alardice,
"a bachelor has, It seems to me, a perfect right to do ns ho pleases with
his own beard; shnve It off In the interest of sclenco, or what not."
"You had no right to!" she blazed,
on the verge of tears.
"Moreover," ho continued, Imperturb-
nbly, "you do not like boards."
"Not like—I—who told you— Alice?"
'No; yourself,"
I? i never "
Oh, yes, you did, Miss Budd, I assure you. Willie 1 wus chatting Willi

you, 'llow handsome ho Is! What a

Rose smiled In spite of herself, but
she blinked her eyes as if Ihu light
hurt Ihem. Alien preletidod not Lo

"What solonco?" asked Alice, as if

Dr. Alardice Dunked; at least, he
mnde no answer. Alice seemed to
take a born qulzzer'H delight In his
discomfiture.
To tlic rescue, with tray and glasses,
the ladles of the house.
"The BUCCOSB of science," tousled
Alice.
Mrs. Budd smiled, und made believe
to drink. Her son frowned, und openly refused lo honor the toast. Her
daughter rulsed a trembling glass to
lips that trembled. The scientist,
looking at her, held his gluss aloft, then
drained It at a breath, Alice look
ii sip thut set her coughing violently.
Dr. Alardice was all concern; und
from that on, Miss Day, as wus her
wonl, took charge of Miss Budd's guest,
the man apparently nothing loath.
First, she sat at the piano, improvls
ing dreamy music, he leaning over her
attentively. Next, she noticed the ris
Ing moon, and together they went to
the window to admire thc beauty of the
night.
At the other end of the room sat
the Budds, discussing thc pair In low
tones, eyeing them askance. Finally.
Rose: "1 guess he'll propose to her
tomorrow, or the next duy—they all
do." And then she sighed.
"If he does, she'll tuke him," snap-
ped Buddy; und then, Instead of sighing, he said Homethlng under hts
breath.
"She won't get the chance," declared
Mrs. Budd. "He's not like the others."
And then she sighed twice.
"Oh, won't she!" cried thc son.
"Oh, isn't he!" cried the daughter.
Said the mother: "What a pair of
geese you aro!"
The geese cackled; then Buddy, like
a veritable gosling: "What Is Mother
Gocso sighing about?"
Mrs. Budd kept silence; did not
seem to hear.
"What " repeated Buddy. Bose
pinched him.
"My children," said Mrs. Budd,
"Mother Goose thinks It sad to live
alone."
"What's the joke over there?" called
Alice from the window, lt was evident that, low as It had been, she had
heard thc cackle, and now had it In
mind.
"Oh, a joke grown very serious with
age. 1 was Just telling my babies
what a pair of geese I thought them."
"And I," said Alice, coming forward,
"was Just telling Dr. Alardice what an
owl Rose Is."
At the mention of his name. Dr.
Alardice, who was still admiring thc
moon, turned round and joined the
group.
"Come, Goosey," said Alice, "and see
me home."
Buddy hastened to obey. Every one
stood up. Rose looked at her mother,
as much as to sny: "Sho hns refused
him already." The mother returned
the look with, "He hasn't asked her."
Alice and her escort mado their
adleux. Dr. Alardice lingered, Ignoring Rose, paying marked attention to
her mother.
"Science is going to rob you, Mrs.
Budd, I'm afraid," he said with much
tenderness.
"Science?" questioned Mrs. Budd, Innocently.
"My orders were not to come back
to Htanford without Miss Budd. By
the wny, how would you liko to live In
Palo Alto?"
"Anywhere, with my girl; nowhere
wil bout her."
"Then, you will go with us, won't
you?" he Invited.
"You seem to take for granted, Dr.
Alardice, that I am going," Miss itndd
put In. This wns met with:
"I am acting under orders that will
not be disobeyed."
"Whose?" asked Mrs. Budd from the
doorway.
"My head's," answered Dr. Alardice.
"Your head's," doubted Mrs. Budd,
and vanished.
Miss Budd retreated to tho window
and looked out. Dr. Alardice pursued manfully, nnd, "You will go to

UP THE COAST TO ALASKA
For a thousand miles northwestward
from Seattle your steamer traverses
un almost unbroken chain of inland
channels and harbors, sheltered from
the open ocean by a long lino
of Islands. First it Is Puget
Sound und the Straits of Juun
de Fuea; then the British Colum
blan waters; und then, after some
hundreds of miles, you cross the inter
national boundary and enter south
eastern Alaska. Everywhere the walls
of these chunnels 'and straits und
sounds are steep und high, nnd generally thoy are clothed to the timber-
line with forest growth, thin und scattering in the exposed places, but dense
and heavy in some of tbc rep-rooston*,
und almost always enough to cover the
dull gray and brown of the rocks. Now
und then you pass a snowy peak, or
catch a distant glimpse of the high
ranges—splendid battlements of white
between the blue nnd the green. If
the sun shines, It is gloriously beautiful. If It doesn't, tbc world Is a study
In gray—gray sky above and gray
water below, with gray Islands und
headlands and mountains coming out
of the gray mist before you, drifting
slowly by, and vanishing Into the gray
void astern.
By and by your vessel swings out
through a narrow rocky portal, and
suddenly you are on the open sea. That
long, long wall of Islands that has
stood between you and the ocean has
come to nn end at lust, and to port
lies the whole Pacific, while to starboard is one of the most cruel coasts
in the world a wild confusion of
rocks, snow-fields, forests, marshes.
Jagged mountains. The greatest glaciers on thc globe lie along this shore,
and somo of them llow straight down
Into the sea, so that the breakers wash
the feet of the blue ice-cliffs.
Three hundred miles of this sort of
thing, and then a long, narrow island
thrusts itself some twenty miles out
into the ocean, ut right angles with
the coast, ending In the great
cathedrla-like mass of Cape St. Ellas,
with the Pinnacle Rock standing guard
in front. You swing round it, and before you Ho thc low, fiat shores of
that notorious sheet of water, Controller Bay, with steep, wooded hills
on one side, a huge glacier on the
other, and In the background the white
wall of the Chugach Mountains.
The nearest wharf nt which a steamer can He up is at Cordova, on an arm
of Prince William Sound, sixty miles
nway as the aeroplane files und a hundred and twenty by aea; but ten mites
northwestward from thc entrance of
tbe bay Is tho little town of Katalla,
with an open roadstead In front nnd
Bagged Mountain behind. If the sen
Is rough, your steamer makes no attempt to land you, but carries you on
to Cordova, if lt Is calm, she creeps
tn as close to the town us she dares
and drops unchor, nnd presently a large
gasoline launch comes out and tnkes
you ashore.
FOR AND AGAINST THE OOQ
Is it worth while to keep a dog? A
pet dog, mind you. Thnt Is certainly a
large question. A million of people
in this country are debating It all the
time. And tho problem hns many perplexing ramifications. How will the
neighbors like It? What will Aunt
Delia say? How much will thc Janitor
want?
To enumerate some of the objections: He will need attention; result,
time wasted. He will compel more attention; more time wasted, Why, the
time one will devote to thc family dog.
if employed in reading tho proper
books, would soon give one n liberal
education. Then he may get sick. Result, more toss of time, some trouble,
and possibly some expense. Or he Is
nlmost sure to get lost onre In a while.
Mnre expense: It Ih seldom anyone
ever returns n lost doc and forgets to
ask about tho reward. Then there aro
MAINLY ABOUT DOQS
Tuke dogs, Millions of dogs, living
off mankind; un economic burden.
Yukon husky to Mexican chihuahua,
Huston bull to just plain dog; useful or
not, us the case may be, every mother's
son of them is un encumbrunce to
somebody. Yet they're worth a lot of
money; Just try to buy one! Hasn't
each und every one of us at some tlmo
or other "losl" one we wouldn't huve
taken five hundred dollars for?
There is a big difference In dogs, except in one particular: every dog Is a
professional good fellow—to somebody.
That Is how he gets on. Otherwise a
very considerable percentage of him
would go to the dog pound to be short-
circuited with a chloroform needle.
But, as has been said, ho makes himself agreeable—very agreeable; In fact,
he Is the one great optimist. That
alone suves him, since man is the one
great pessimist und needs a counterbalance on the other end of tho plank.
All kinds of dogs there are, and all
kinds of lives they lead. Of them all,
tho hunting dog lives the best, for his
own Bood. The alcd dog is perhaps the
most useful, although the farm dog
runs him a close second. The aristocratic dog is thc most to be pitied.
A dog's lif« they all lead. Who knows
but lt may sometimes come close to
being an Ideal life at that. For what
is lifo without service, and what does
a dog do but serve—somebody? Docs
the horse serve? No, ho slaves. Towser alone serves man. Economically,
he Is a failure, but nothing can get his
job.
TURKISH WOMEN AT THE
THEATRE
A notico which is to be seen in one
of the theatres of Constantinople effectively solves thc problem of people
at the back obtaining a clear view
and is very much more radical than
the polite request made in English and
French theatres that ladies should not
mar the view of the stage with huge
hats.
The notice reads: "In order to ren
der the performance agreeable to all
those present, the management of the
theatre has decided that the spectators
ot the flrst three rows should recline,
those of the next three rows be on
their knees and all the others be stand
Ing up. In that way everybody will
be able to enjoy the play."
This notice Is lollowed by a suggestion
implying the Turkish woman's lack of
romance: "lt is strictly forbidden to
laugh, for it Is a tragedy that is being
performed."

OSTRICH FARMING
Visitors to the ostrich furm ut Kast
I'nsudenu, ('ul., watch tho birds swallow an orungo which slowly and visibly makes Its wuy down tbe long neck;
Ihey buy an egg or a plume and gu
uwuy firm In the belief that they huve
seen tin* farm.
As a matter of fact not om- visitor
in lit.OUO got** out to the real farm,
which is several miles buck In tho
country und to wblcb lourlsls are not
admitted, Oslrlrh farming is now being curried on successfully In several
parts of ihe Southwestern states, but
ll came near being nipped in thu bud
ut ihu start.
When Cawston, the first man to attempt the work, started for South
Africa to Import sume oBtrlcbes about
twenty years ago the project seemed
oasy of execution. Uu bought the
birds lie wanted at Cape Town, chartered a vessel and put them aboard.
Just when the ship was ready to leave
the Cape Town city fathers got wind
uf It and hurriedly fixed up a law forbidding the exportation of ostriches.
They wanted to keep the Industry (or
themselves,
Cawston had thirty of the birds and
wuh in u dilemma. It Is said that he
persuaded the captain, to sail just us
the bill was signed und thut the vessel
got out of port Just In time to avoid
being held up for an export duty of
$600 apiece for the ostriches. All but
six of the birds died on the voyage.
Theso six huve all gone th* wuy of
their fathers now, but tbeir progeny is
numerous and healthy.
The ostriches in Cape Colony forage
for themselves, each bird having i
range of twenty acres of veldt. It Is
said that muny of them go .or years
without touching water. Tho California farm Is almost like a great
park, where ferns and Mowers sept_>
i the runs for the birds. It wu -a
yeur or two beforo they begun to breed
over here. They ure sensitive to
change, apparently, for even now if a
pair is moved from one cage to .in-
other It win not breed that season.
Young birds of both sexes are out in
the Boms enclosure, and soon display
pronounced likes nml dlsIQusn Finally,
of their own accord, each one a_DOMB
a single mate to whom to be B_t__U
for life. When this mating has taken
place the pairs ure placed In ssgacftta
pens or runs. There are 188 OBtSfaBM
at the Pasadena show farm, bur. several hundred others are !*:>-pt for breeding purposes out on the main farm.
The lutter have a Ufl-acre oJ&lfis
ranch, whereas only about eight acres
OT& available fur those .it Pasadena.
They breed well, not less than 14")
chicks being hatched every year. Often
there are fourteen eggs to the nest,
eggs weighing three pounds each.
Contrary to general belief. ostrich
eggs are palatable. Usually they .in
served us an omelette, and now ind
then at the Pasadena hotels .i loaen ir
more people will ait down to Much i
feast made from one egg for the party.
TOWSER—GOOD OLD 8P0RT
Towser does not grumble. He may
shiver and whine when thc camp Is
wet and the fire won't hum and home
seems Irretrievably lost to him. But he
does not kick. For no other reason
he makes a better camping comrade
than n whole lot of men do. Why, If
you want a lesson In taking hard luck
philosophically. Just look at him, at
the end of a rainy dny In the woods or
mountains. Curls up and makes the
best of it. doesn't he?
Ite cun teach you a few things about
woodcraft, too—yes, and nbout sportsmanship. That muy seem far-fetched,
but think lt over. Allowing for his
limitations, he Is apt to surprise you.
Ho readily learns thc amenities of lhe
camp, keeps from under foot, waits his
turn at meal-time, and at getting Into
the canoe. And ho ts pretty sure to
stay with you when you can't find
camp, even If ho knows very well how
to get there—as ho generally does.
(live him a chance and likely as not
he'll lead you ln.
We owe u lot to Towser, he Is such
nn outdoor enthusiast. Climbing a lad
der Is one of tho most difficult things
for him to do. He hates to try It
makes a great to-do about it If It Is
put up to him. Rut plnce outdoor liberty ot the top of the ladder and see how
quickly he will scale It once he suspects what Is up there. He always is
ready to start out—genernlly ready
with an urgent Invitation. "Come on!'
snys he. "Cut loose for a while. This
wny, this wny. Oof! hut It's good to
lope a little for n change. This wny."
And coining back to you. wllh n "Roo-

HIGH HONORS POR WOMEN
Once more women have rrtarapned
at the Royal Academy. For the second time in three years the gold
medal has been won by a female student, while of the fourteen pr.2es offered no less thun ten bar-* '-.e^n carried off by women. In presenting these
and Congratulating Miss Margaret Wil-
llums on her brilliant achievement, the
president of the Royal Academy paid
high tribute to the perseverance and
the tnient of women ortHta; but o^ain,
we ask. why is It not recognized by the
Royal Academy of Arts In the obvious

their fitness to compete with men for
the honor of admission to ftUodftCevbtp

still they stand without the gate.
80ME POISONOUS FLOWERS
Many species of well-known snd
much admired (lowers furnish the world
with a great deal of Its poison.
The laburnum, for instance, which
the poets have loved to compare to a
fountain of gold playing in the sunlight, Is one of the most poisonous
flowers Imaginable. There is poison
in every bit of It—flower, leaf, and
seed. Even grnss growing beneat- it
Is rendered poisonous by reason of Its
proximity lo the beautiful, innocent-
looking blossoms overhead.
Such dainty und lovely blooms ns
the narcissus, hayclnth. Jonquil, nnd
snowdrop secrete the most deadly pot-
sons, while the oxalls. the monk's-hood,
nnd the fox-glove conceal noxious liquors powerful enough to destroy life
In n short time.
The list might be further extended
by thc addition of certain ot the crocuses, the beautiful lady's-sllpper. the
quaint "old Jack-ln-the-pulplt." and the
prim little buttercup. The latter, despite Its Innocent appearance, is really
one of the worst of the poisonous
blooms. Even the cow Is aware of thia
nnd carefully avoids it. The cousins
of the buttercup, the peonies, the larkspurs, and the rest nil contain toxic
liquids.
Another source of deadly poison Is
the oleander tree, while the bark of
the superb catalpa tree contains any
quantity of deadly doses.
