One does not look to ones walking stick

ply the courses of the incomes Of the
whole year engraved upon sticks" and
those who went on distant pilgrimages
soon saw the advantage of turning the
heads of their staffs into almanacs. Their

ent, is certainly not for the strenuous rec
ord-breaking walker, who takes a kind
of Polytechnic London-to Brighton walk,
but for the ordinary pedestrian, whose
main object Is seeing nature and breath
ing fresh air. Used in the proper way
the stick is both Il companion and Il COM
forter. 1t is real aid in hilly country,
and on level ground is not a burden.
1T is also a panacca for tiredness, hav-
ing a magic effect if carried for a time
through the arms across the back.
.'Cird up thy loips and take thy staff in
hand is as good advice now as it was
in Old Testament times.
In Scotland the walking stick is re-
garded as distinctly secular and week

The Searchli8l1t
The Biggest Apartment House.

The invention of the steel frame build
ing a generation ago has revolutionized
city life not only with respect to business
buildings, but. through the medium of
the apartment house, has changed the
essential environment of home life.
Whether these changes have been good
or bad. or partly both, is beside the
question.
1t is interesting to note, however. that
the largest apartment house in the world
is now building In Newark. n. J. 1t will
be known the Gibraltar, will be
thirteen stories high in front and fifteen
in the rear. and will cost approximately
a million dollars. The building will &C
commodate a private garage to take care
of more than a hundred automobiles. The
apartments will range in size from two
rooms and d kitchenette to fourteen
rooms and four baths. A novel feature
is that each apartment in the building
will differ from every other apartment in
the building, both in the plan Of the
rooms and the interior finish.

THE NORTHEAST.
Rediscovering New England-What
Civil War Did for Yankeeland.

From the Boston Globe.
The civil war gave a blow to New
England almost as great as that which
it gave to the south; for besides the
scores of thousands of it's sons who
died in battle or of disease, other
scores of thousands saw. or thought
they saw. much greater opportunities
in the south and west than there re-
mained In New England. and so left
their residences there. Land in the
south could be bought very cheaply
after the war, and in the west it was
purchaseable for 81 an acre from the
government. besides the homesteads of
160 acres which could become ones
property for filing fees and for resi-
dence thereon for a term of years.
Veteran soldiers were given outright
large farms In Kansas and other states
near it soon after the war. and as
la result entire New England villages
were completely depopulated.
Now nearly all of the desirable land
for homesteads-thati is, good soil which
is sufficiently watered by the usual an
nual rainfall-has been taken. and chill
dren and grandchildren of those pio-
neers In the corn and wheat belts are
seeking a new frontier. A million of
them have crossed the line into Can

frontier until they reach the point
