GeoGraphicaI Unity.

There are two tremendous moments
In crossing the United States from east
to west by way Of Chicago, Omaha
and Ogden. The first is when the
bluffs Of the Missouri suddenly dwin-
die away and the prairie rolls into
sight with its ocean of tall corn, is-
landed with uncovered homesteads,
as IL one swelling movement of the
sea had been divinely caught and pet.
rified and made fertile. And the Sec
ond Of these significant moments, more
majestically pregnant with hidden
meanings than the naked glories of
Niagara or the arrogant cliffs of YO-
semitic, is when the ravines of the
Sierra Nevada, with their ever green
beauty Of pine trees, broaden out Oh
the valley Of Sacramento and the hills
recede beyond that magnificent plain.
There and then you realize the per
petual and indissoluble relation of
highland to lowland and perceive In
the United States a more wonderful
geographical unity than you might be-
hold anywhere in Europe, where there
Is more variety and less majestic
space. - Percy Vincent Donovan in

Pew. that Garry . vote.

The parish church Of Chertsey pos
sesses a curious anomaly. 1t has sew
eral pews in its gallery which are
bought and sold by auction, just like a
table or chair, and these pews give
their owners for the time being legal
right to vote at parliamentary elections

lege they are not so eager to use as the
former one. Many years ago the church
wardens of Chertsey were at their wits
end in order to raise money for the res
toration and repair of the sacred edi-
fee, and they could find no solution to
the question until some parishioners
suggested that they should sell the gal
lery pews to the highest bidder. They
accepted the idea and obtained a spe-
cial act of parliament allowing them to
do this and also giving the privilege of
a parliamentary vote.-London Specta-

Too Much to Ask.

A traveller in the highlands observed
while at a tavern in small village a
very beautiful collie. At his request
the owner was pointed out to him, and

After an hour Of dreary driving
through cold and rain John drew up in
front of small house In which the
service was to take place. 1t was two
long hours of cold waiting before the
minister re-entered the cab, and the
home drive was made. With a spirit
of expectancy John once more swung
open the cab door in front Of the min
lster's house. The minister stepped
out, and as he entered his own door he
turned and said:

thorough remedy may be had by
proceeding as follows: Have the out

Rest DRESSING for lettuce.

The very common way of eating
lettuce and very likely the worst is
to dress 1t with sugar and vinegar
This reprehensible method seems to
be especially common at farmers
tables, where the best Of vegetables
ought always to be served, but where
sometimes nothing but the worst can
be found. On the farm, where plenty
of cream should always be available
the homemade mayonnaise dressing
ought to be the standard. There are
so many ways Of making this delicacy
wrong that no particular recipe can
insure success. Doubtless the best
dressing of all for lettuce is made OF
oil, vinegar, salt and red pepper
what is commonly called French
dressing. Persons who are not famil-
lar with this are apt to use too much
vinegar and too little oil and to apply
too much Of the dressing altogether.

The horse bean is not a market

In Scotland. England (Kent), Holland
or Germany, simply because there is
no demand for IL.
However. as a grand rotation crop,
its value is not enough appreciated,
because it stands a very heavy appli-
cation Of fresh dung without laying

cede a summer or winter grain (wheat

IN making new pastures or hay lands.
Further, it leaves the soil in an almost
ideal physical condition-moist. free Of

CAN WORK WONDERS
MAGIC IN THE INFLUENCE or A
GOOD WOMAN.
History Full Of Instances Of Men
Piueked from the Lowest Depths
to a High Calling in the Work
Of the World.


The woman who talks most about
woman's influence generally doesn't
have any influence. The kind that
counts work silently. 1t is not her
aided with trumpets nor clapped with
applause.
For this reason a woman is a little
shy Of even considering such subject
as her influence over men. SO far
from boastlng Vi it even in her
thoughts She viii barely acknowledge
1t 10 herself
That is all right. Just the way a
nice, modest woman should feel about
it. Nevertheless, there can be no
harm in asserting the fact-just
among women, though-that woman
can influence a man very potently, if
she goes about it in the right way.
For the right woman man win do
almost anything. He has been doing

when Solomon fell TO worshiping the
gods Of his wives, and when Herod
sacrificed John the Baptist to his pret-
ty niece. He has been known TO climb
from the lowest depths to a high call.
ing under a woman's influence, and
he has been dashed from high places
to the darkest depths by reason OF
that same mysterious magic, says a
writer in the Minneapolis Journal.
1t must please any woman to hear
the story OF Owen Kildare, a New
York Bowery tough, who at 80 could
neither read nor write and was proud
Of his slum reputation as the toughest
of sluggers. Now, at a little past 40.
he is writing for magazines and work
ing to better the condition of just such
people as those from whose ranks he
was lifted
And how was he liftedg A wom-
ans voice called him.
A woman came into his life Of utter
degradation. She gave the best she
could to aid him. She led, he fol
lowed. For years he was pupil and
she was teacher. And then she died,
and it was then that her influence
was most powerful. Realizing what
she had done for him, he set himself
to follow the windings of the path she
had outlined. The path led to reform,
manliness, strength and usefulness,
Only ten years between his ignor-
ant, dissipated life and the bright,
promising life of an author and phi
lanthropical worker. Sccff as the un-
sentimental may, all this was accom-
plished by noble womans influence
1t ought to make a woman mighty
proud. and at the same time mighty
humble, to have responsibility like
that in her hands. Her words, her
glances, her smiles. her actions. her
beauty, her whole character, can work
either for a mans help or for his
harm.
She needn't speak Of it. nor think
much about it. Yet, silently, and in a
large, sweet. wholesome way, she can
have a care which way her influence
is working.
