When you rise in the morning form a

Smith. 1t is easily done-a left off gar

IL you are young depend upon it it

are old it will send you gently and

eternity. By the most simple arith-

send one person, only one, happily

Forests and Human vitality.

One has but to look back through his
tory to see how closely related is the
forest to human vitality. 1t was in the
forests of Thessaly that the early
Greeks received their energy that later
Powered into genius. 1t was the forest
jewellers Of Germany that conquered
decadent Rome and later gave to Spain
the vigor that swept back the Moor
and brought under her flag almost the
whole known world. But today what
is Greece, what is Italy, what Is Spain?
They have been stripped Of their for
ests, those nurseries of vigor, and their
decay has set in. Everywhere the law
holds good. 1t is in the forest that the
manhood is nourished which builds up
great civilizations. But cities arise.
trees are swept away. and the inevita-
BILE decline sets in. Forests once de-
stroyed cannot return. and over all the
sites of ancient civilization are blowing
the desert sands.-Arthur Goodby in

"Twice a year, on April % and Oct.

living in Sofia, "our streets are full OF
servants. and people bargain with them
for service. During the winter season
they are very cheap. as the peasants
send all their girls to the city to be
hired. they having no work for them
at home. The price paid differs. One
can get a girl for her board. or pay up
to 20 lusor ($4) a month for one who
cooks. washes and irons. Girls are Of

their board. For the men there is very
little work. and the papers are full of

HARD BLOW TO NEW MEXICO
But After All He Thinks ROs.
we'll Is 1t.

Claud Carr and family have
returned from New Mexico where
they went last summer to look
for a location. Claud says they
can have Mexico that want it,
but that he wouldn't give Stone
wall county for the whole blam-
ed territory, barring the town of
Roswell. He says Roswell is a
fine town and when that's said
it's all said. We believe there
are others of our old citizens in
Mexico who would make this
same statement if they would
only speak their sentiments.

The Candlefa.h of Puget Sound

The CAMUI0nBm OF FuBFt SUunu.
Very queer fish are caught in the wa
tiers Of Puget sound. One kind is called
the candlefish. 1t is dried and packed
in boxes like candles. We are told the
fishermen use them to light their homes
and that at one time all the boats on
the sound used them instead of sperm
oil lamps. By putting the heads of the
fish downward in a candlestick and
lighting the tail. which, in conjunction
with the backbone, acts as a wick, it
burns like a candle. They eat this fish
and when cooking it is SO fat it fries
itself.

An Ancient Work ON Angling.

The greatest work Of antiquity On
angling is said to be the "Halieutica' of
Orphan, a Greek poet who f1ourished in
the time of Severus, A. D.. 1913. from
which we learn that many articles in
fishing thought to be modern were
known to a%ncients. We also learn
from Atheneus that several other writ
ers had written treatises or poems on
fishing some centuries before the Chris
tan era.
