took place, which suddenly terminated
by the generals friend knocking the

A noted divine has declared that a
husbands grumbling and scolding
were often only his way Of beginning
a conversation, and he maintained that
IL man were sulky the worse he was
the more cheerful his wife should be.
Certainly husband and wife should
bear and forbear, he says, and the soft
answer turneth away wrath more eff
fectively by the domestic hearth than
elsewhere. Then business is often wor-
rying, and the husband coming home
needs and usually deserves to find
there all soothing and calming infiu-
ences. But surely it should be mutual
kindness. At times the man must take
his turn in meeting irritability or low
spirits with cheerfulness and kind,

Bird Legends.

Owls never have been popular birds,
and Pliny tells us that on two occa-
sions a large owl having made its ap-
pearance in the streets Of Rome a
solemn ceremony was performed by
the whole city in order to avert the
catastrophe which was believed to be
foreshadowed by visits from such I'M
canny birds. Savages have ever as
ISOLATED disaster with the appearance
of an owl, raven or crow, while
even the humble sparrow has excited
distaste at times.
In folklore with birds. as with many
other animals. not few of the myths
as to death or Ill fortune are assoc
slated, and even In these advanced
days there are many places where all
hope Of a sick persons recovery would
be abandoned If 1t were known that a
crow, a rock or a 1ackdaw had flown
over the house wherein the person
lay Ill, a similar belief attaching to the

the soil upon which it grows, but it
tills it. The roots drill holes in the
subsoil, and. dying, leaves channels
for the ingreSS of the roots of the
other plants. This aerates the soil,
promoting bacterial action at great
depths, and, honeycombed, it becomes
Il much better reservoir for moisture.
HARDNESS.
The alfalfa plant is noted for its
wonderful hardness. 1t reyels in
hot climate and yet it has withstood
the wintry blasts of Manitoba. When
its long roots can battle their tips in
the cool moisture of a subtel ranean
lake, its tops will luXuriate in heat
and drought: these conditions only
assist in drawing the plant food up
into the leaves at more rapid rate.
Even when not favored with gener-
Gus supplies of ground water, it is
still enabled to offer a marvellous re-
SiStance to drought. This is largely
due to its ability TO suspend growth
when the soil gets too dry and wait
again. Its usefulness is chiefly due
to the fact that, if prevented from
going to seed, it has no regular peri
DDS of rest. In tropical countries it
grows ALI the year around, Welding
eight to ten crops per annum. In
temperate climates it is compelled Dy
winter to rest, but a warm spell of
weather in the middle of winter will
bring out its tender shoots in a few
