A blue mark hero indicates that your Subscription has ���������become, deceased, and that tho editor would once moro liko to commune with your collateral. uouncement concerning irrigated lands. "So far as I know," Dr. Galloway is quoted by the Associated Press, "there never has been any long continued irrigation in a semiarid climate anywhere in the world." Dr. Galloway remark was made in his testimony before the house committee on appropriations for the department of agricultuio. Ho said that tho department is working hard to overcome, tho rccog- uized dangers which today confront the fanners on irrigated lands and that theso dangers lie not only in the alkali on irrigated soils but also in the gradual leaching from tlm soil of its organic matter and tho consequent reduction of soil fertility. John T.' Burns, secretary-treasurer of the .International Dry- Farming Congress, confirms Mr. Galloway's statement.

Biiyan is a great man and seems to have, tho courage of his convictions. At a recent state dinner in Washington, he would not serve anything stronger than grape juice. The affair passed away in harmony no one falling under the table or craning a rough house. We do not believe that it is wise for two people to get married who are opposed to each other in religious creeds. A divided house is apt to fall, so man and wife should have the same ideas about religion and politics. Otherwise there is no telling wheu they will have a rough house. It will probably be fifty years or more beforo the Grits again get a chance to sit on the high seats in Ottawa. By that time a new and better generation of Grits will have sprung into existence. Tho greed for spoils must die ont before the so-called Liberals of our day can ever expect to gain and hold the votes, confidence and admiration of the Canadian people. human nature. Wo may bo sure, on general principles, that in the main, men and women have chosen celibacy because they wished. There are claustral souls, by nature. Particularly among women there are those who are born without a taste for marriage. In addition to those who do not marry because thoy cannot find the right man, there are those who do want no man at all. Every age has had its order of virgins. There were chaste priestesses in the Orient, and Vestals in Rome before there were "brides of Christ" in the church, aud the "old maid" of today has noble procedents. And we may be sure that while some like Virginie do Leyva and Glulia Carraciolo "breathed with intoxicating desire, through the convent granting, the perfumes of nature and of the world of men," still the perpetual fashion of maidenhood could not have per- gor which ho describe.'*," says Mr. Burns, "lias long been recognized by many students of soils. We hope to havo tibe problem discussed thoroughly at our eighth Congress in Tulsa'in October. Thero can he. but one remedy. Use loss water. Conserve the rainfall through deep ploughing and surface cultivation. Add only that amount of irrigation water necessary for the maximum production of crops. Increase the duty of water by adding labor on the soil. All the fertilizers in the world will not serve as a substitute for the plow, the harrow, and tho disc with an intelligent man behind them. "The wise irrigalionists already knows, and all irrigationist are coming to know, that the principles of dry-farming form the basis of all agriculture. Irrigation is merely an adjunct to good farming." The Real Way sieted without being based upon a perpetual trait of human nature. The maiden by choice has her place in the world, and who can say it has not been a uoble one? It will be fifty years next July sinco the battle of Gettysburg was fought in the American Civil War, and the event is to be celebrated with {considerable eclat, fireworks and spread eagle speeches by our cousins across the line. We believe that it is just as well to cut out celebrations that tend to cause harsh feelings, in tlie breasts of many who wore the Gray at Gettysburg and are still living. Aliens will soon be unable to hold land in California, Perhaps it is just as well for that great state, says a sarcastic speaker, is filled with flowers without fragrance, fruit without flavor, men without honor, and women without virtue. Perhaps that is why tho Lord put San Francisco iu the consomme a few years ago, it being a reincarnation of those two cities of early days, that all know about who have faithfully prospected the Bible. Thinking Themes The ordinary person is shocked to think of a young healthy girl entering a convent. We regard the vast monasteries and coventual institutions of the middle ages as unnatural. Protestants make a viitue of indignation at the celibacies of Roman Catholicism. And yet two things ought to bo borne in mind First, that no custom could possibly live centuries without having some basis in Not only does a mau's handwriting characterize him; each one has his peculiar gestures, mannerisms that are as unmistakably his own are his thumb-nails or his Bertillon measurements. A Scotland Yard detective told me that he recognized a man almost entirely by "his walk and the way he handles himself," and depended very little upon facial appearance. A criminal can change his clothes, beard and even his countenance and speech simply enough, but will forget that little hacking cough, or his peculiar manner of sprawling in his chair, or the way he has of running his fingers through his hair. An observing friend coming from the House of Commons regaled us with the following autograph habits of its loaders; Mr. Asquith, the prime minister, writhes and wriggles his shoulders; Mr. Bonar Law, the opposition leader, has a face as immobile as a poker player, but incessantly moves his hands, as if he didn't know what to do with them; Mr. Lloyd George has a pet phrase he keeps bringing in, "Well, now;" Mr. Winston Churchill has a trick of covering his mouth with his hand; Mr. Mc- Kenna bangs his desk during his speech as if beating a drum; whon Mr. Birrell is at a loss for a word he snaps his fingers; and so each of us, great and small, has his betraying sign.���������Dr. Frank Crane. The Basis Tnlsa, Okla.-Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of thn United States Bureau of Plant Industry, has suddenly aroused tho agricultural world by a most raidical pro- A wealthy young girl committed suicide the other day because, she said, Miss Garden had promised to make a great opera singer of her, and had failed to do so. Miss Garden denied ever having heard of the young woman, and to have made any such impossible bargain with her. She is a practical woman, and she knows that no human being can mako another a great singer. Nature lias to lay the foundations Tor that job, and the individual must work out with toil and sweat the. balance of the contract. That's the way Miss Garden herself became a prima donna, and it's the, way that everybody elso who succeeds turns the trick. The road to achievement is a hard and stony one, along which we must travel on our own feet. We may not reach the goal luxuriously transported thither in somebody else's automobile. The reason why there are so many failures in the world is because the great majority of people sit around, helplessly waiting for somebody else to come along and make them, instead of rolling up their sleeves and getting busy themselves. They pine for laurel wreaths, but they are not willing to scratch their own fingers gathering tho material out of which to make them. They expect some kind friend to walk up and bestow upon them a custom-made crown of glory. Every poor man believes that Mr. Morgan and Mr. Rockefeller know some magic formula for making money that they could divulge if they would, that would enable the laziest village loafer to acquire riches without effort. Every scribbler is firmly convinced that every successful writer elso down. Every choir singer is confident that Caruso and Farrar would get him or her a $40,000 a year contract with tho Metropolitan opera, ifi]������nly famous singers weren't so afraid of rivals they tried to shut real talent ont. Every stage struck boy or girl bolioves that John Drew or Maude Adams has only to say a word to make him or her a Frohman star. Yet, if Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Morgan wero to divulge the whole secret of money-making to any youth anxious to become rich, all that they could tell him would be that he must work, work, work, and watch his opportunity, and that the one sure way to rise in a business oflice is to make yourself 30 invaluable that your employer can't do without you. The only way that any successful writer can help the young man and woman eager to break into print is to tell them to write so well and entertaingly that the public will want to read their stories and verses. Then publishers will fight with each other over their productions. All that the prima donna or the star can tell the youthful aspirants for operatic or dramatic honors is that they must have talent to begin with, and polish and perfect this by years of study and thought and ceaseless endeavor, until their art shines like a jewel, so that audiences will be willing to pay out good money to gloat over it. None of these people who have succeeded knew any dark magic to conjure with. None of them had any great patron who pushed them into success. None of them was a clinging vine that'hung on anybody else. Thoy saw what thoy wanted, and they went out and got it. And that's what everybody has to do who succeeds.

Mr. Morgan could lend a man enough money to start in husiness, but ho couldn't give him the financial sagacity to make a success of that business. Unless the man had that himself,-in the end he would fail. Mr* Carnegie didn't make his Schwabs and Coreys. They made themselves. Miss Garden couldn't have made the poor rich girl without a voice a singer that a Metropolitan audience would have applauded. Nor did any wealthy or powerful individual make tlio Totrazzinis and Farrars. They made themselves. Mr. Kipling himself couldn't get the pointless, stupid, badly expressed story of hia dearest friend into a first-class magazine, but when he was a poor, obscure boy, writing stories for a newspaper in a faraway Indian city, the whole world sat up and took notice. He didn't call in Conan Doyle or tho viceroy of India to get his work accepted. There are no people so mistaken as thoso who believe in pull, instead of putting their faith in push. They waste their time while they aud agility and energy stays there. The one who is boosted up a few rounds by others falls to the bottom when the supporting shoulders are withdrawn. If I coiild give one piece of advice to any ambitious young girl or boy it would be this: Don't waste any time or energy trying to get influence or recommendation or backing of some distinguished person. Just play the game of life off your own bat. Fit yourself for what ever you want to do so that you can deliver tlie.goods. That's all that the worlfl wants, and that's all that necessary to attain success. And it's the ouly way to attain success. Nobody else can mako you great.

Many Bibles One of the most remarkable men connected with the publishing business in England is about to retire in the person of Henry Frowde, who for thirty-nine years has been London manager of the Oxford University Press, the oldest printing concern with an unbroken history in England.

Mr. Leach has for some time been working **con- tracf-" at the mine, and is enthusiastic regarding the showing which id being made. One tunnel has been driven 312 feet, and a second is in the rock a distance of 300 feet. Twelve feet of ore is in sight, according to Mr. Leach, all of it containing high values in gold. Similar success is being experienced on the workings at the Coronation group. At the Countess a two and a half foot lead has been struck in very rich oro. The Littlo Joe is .working at the present on an eighteen inch to two-foot lead, upon ore in which gold can be seen all through. Water has been turned on the recently acquired Blackbird, and this promising claim is boing ground sluiced in an effort to pick np the lead there. Under the direction of Superintendent Copp work is being steadily pushed on the claims in the group, and big developments are expected this year. With plenty of capital behind tho venture, and with full confidence of operators on the mining exchanges, Coronation should this year do much toward advertising the rich gold wealth of Bridge river.���������Lillooet Prospector.

The manner in which the soldiers of this little nation have driven those so often described as "the best fighters in tho world" has been one of the marvels of military history. How do they do it?. A war correspondent. Frederick Palmer, has given tho secret. The correspondents are not allowed at the front, so they must needs get their information from whatever source comes handy, and one of their chief reliances is the wounded who come back from the front. Palmer asked a number of these bow it was the Bulgars so uniformly won, and their reply was ''Na?" which means "Fix bayonets!" This has become a national battle cry. The story bears out others that have come to tho press from Balkan battle fields. These have told of terrific bayonet charges by the Bulgarians, before which the Turks havo broken and fled. Others have added that the Bulgar is a master of the bayonet. Through this he does almost as much execution as with his machine guns. A bullet is invisible. But a bristling lino of steel in the hands of stalwart and chargiug nien is very much in evidence. If anything will strike terror into a foe it is this. | The bluff of the terrible Turk has been called. His fighting valor oozed at the "Na!" of tho Bulgars. It is many years ago since D. J. Robertson had to leave Sandon. Since then he has spent his time in Nelson, selling furniture and other truck, at such low prices, that half the time he cannot pay the freight, or keep the sheriff from pulling the blue papers on him.

Its namo is Mount Athos, and it only came into existence a week or two ago, when the ambassadors of tho powers decided that, however olso tho Balkan question is settled, Mount Athps is to be an independent holy republic. It is a mountain twice as high as Ben Nevis, near Salonika, and is certainly unique among the countries of Europe in fact that no woman has set foot in it for fivo ceuturies, When, some years ago, the Queen of Ronmania announced her intention of visiting it, the rulees of the holy mountain threatened to commit suicide if she persisted. The new republic, which has a littlo sea coast of its own, holds another record. It is the only state in Europe whoso national income is obtained solely by selling eruscifixes, rosaries, amulets and similar holy objects. As Mount Athos contains twenty-one monasteries, the export is quito a large one. Tho least known of tho other pocket countries of Europe is San Marino, iu the heart of Italy. It also is [a mountain, surrounded on three sides by perpendicular cliffs. It possesses nearly 100 castles with an army of about one man to each castle. Tho last time San Marino was at war was when one general and twenty-throe men solemnly marched out to assist Napoleon, who received them with full military honors. A little principality in Austria, Liechtenstein, baa nominally been at war with Prussia ever since 18SG. At any rate, poacio has never been made.
