Mo Fences in Relalunn.

In beautiful Belgium there are nc
fences. Neither are there hedges, as
in England. The boundaries of the
fields are raised up by fairly high
earth banks, and the roads are cut
out of them, as it were, so that when
you are walking in the country you
are down in a sort of valley, with low
green banKs on either side of you.
The things that are chiefly cultiyat-
ed in Belgium are the beet root, for
making the cheaper kind of sugar,
you know, and you can see field upon
field of their reddy-green leaves
stretching on either side of you as
you walk along.
Flax is also much grown over there,
and in summer time the fields are
such pretty sight when the pale blue
flax blossoms are out in full bloom.
Belgian asparagus Is also renowned
all over Europe. 1t has white instead
of purplegreen tips, like our home
grown asparagus.

A FavorIte Resort.

Marienbad, whittier King Edward
goes for his annual cure" was al
most unknown a century ago. 1t was
virtually discovered by DR.. Nehr who
published a booklet in 1918 describing
the marvellous results upon patients Of
his who had been drinking the waters.
But Dr. Nehr recommended that all
invalids repairing to Marienbad should
take their beds with them, because
no accommodation whatever was then
provided in such sequestered spot.
Matters had not much improved in
1920, when Goethe visited Marienbad
and drank the waters, for he wrote to
a friend: Il feel as if we're in the
American solitudes, where the forests
are cut down to build up city within
three years" Nearly 10000 valetudi-
narians now annually make pilgrimage
to Marienbad Dundee Advertiser

Little Touch Of Nature.

A boy of -, and woman, aged

Broadway car. They were strangers.
The boys little blue jacket was pulled
out at the seams, the woman wore a

tired. They sat sideways and occa-
sionally they nodded drowsily. Once
during spasmodic cranial movement,
their faces almost touched. Then they
braced back and looked at each other

Then he smiled, too. Are your" he

Then they smiled some more, and

SPOILED COURSE OF LOVE.
Young Man Misunderstood Answer Of
His Charmer.

There was once bashful young
policeman, whom we will name George
x, who was in love with a young
lady, but was too backward to pro
pose to her. One night, however, he
plucked up courage and went to her
house. After being seated with her
on the sofa, he said, MARY, | love
you" The young lady, who was look
ing for this for some time, dropped
her eyes and murmured, Ditto,
George" To her surprise and disap-
pointment he changed the subject and,
finally went away. The next day he
was talking to some brother policemen
at the fence of large field Of cab
bages. Boys" said George, what
does ditto mean?" why" said one
of them, pointing to very large cab
bage, do you see that cabbage,
George?" Yes" said George. "And

IN PRAISE OF The BORE.
one.Man Rises to Defend an Unpopu-
lar Character.

Stevenson has apologized for the
idlers and the thieves and the canni-
balls, but even that most charitable of
men had never good word to say
for the bore Neither In life nor In
literature have we ever found a man
bold enough to speak well Of him;
the crook may be forgiven, but the
bore. never Is. Poor devil! How all
the world Is against him! And yet
this Is scarcely just; for In his way
he is an excellent thing; an honest
creature. He is what he is. God
made him a bore; he struggles not
against his destiny, but bore he re-
mains; there is less OF hypocrisy
about him than about other men; he
concoals nothing from his neighbor
that interests himself; out Of the kind
ness of his heart he passes on his own
experience; he is generous of himself;
he has a message, and If the hints OF
his hearers should cause him to abate
one syllable of it he would feel that
he had been false to his mission; the
little insincerities with which more
ignoble men jolly the hours along are
beneath him, Look at his motives
and you will see that he is unjustly
used; we all of US know him, and we
should treat him with more charity,
for upon occasion we have all been he.

"CUTICURA REMEDIES

"About year ago I was sufferer
from skin, scalp, and blood humors.

relief and then the distressing blood
humors were back as usual. I finally

ailment. But q friend induced me to
give the Cuticura Remedies fair trial.
He had been troubled with the same
disease and said he had been perma-
nently cured by Cuticura. So / got the
whole treatment, consisting Of Cuticura
Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura
Resolvent, and after began the treats

In mountain climbing the world
over the climber usually arrives fresh
and unfatigued at the base of the
peak he wishes to storm, and as rule
begins his ascent at a nigh altitude
On Mount Mckinley, as described by

There are 25 miles of rugged foothills
and glaciers to be. crossed-with
heavy packs-before the base of the.
mountain is reached, and then the

Women Who Write at Home.

About one woman in 100 keeps up
her music after marriage, although
they may have passed years of their
own time and spent many dollars be-
longing to their fathers in study. The
number that drops off in art is even
greater, but writing has fascination
difficult to resist. A great deal of the
writing done by women comes from
homes, more or less comfortable and
happy. Much of it is the kind not
easily duplicated and it would be non
sense to compel such women to forget
their talents. Many son has been
fitted for his life work by the ability
of his mother to earn money at a
