Singing His Way to Fame

She listened till the song had ended
and. not hearing more, sent a request
for the singer to resume. He did 50,
and Margaret went to bed filled with
the most enhancing thoughts.
The next day on inquiry she learned
that the singer was the ambassador.
She asked him to sing to her, but he
excused himself, saying that the spirit
of music came to him only in accord
ance with it's own sweet will. 1t came,
however on balmy nights from pleas

one. OF the homely body nothing re-
manned, but from the ambassadors
eyes the queen saw spiritual body of
transcendent beauty, a soul that seem
ed to beckOn her to Il higher. hOlier
existence.
Meanwhile during the day, there be-
ing no treaty to talk about, the queen
began to speak to the ambassador
about her affairs. Never had she heard
such wisdom, such farsighted sugges
tons. He told her that such a queen
as she would be blessing to every
people, but in all kingdoms there was
low grade work that only coarse ma
tured men could properly perform.
The treaty never came back. and the
ambassador at last confessed that he
was no envoy, but one who, having

Amount of Air Has important Effect
on Growth of Veqetaton.

Amount of Air Has important Effect
on Growth of Vegetation.
1t is very important that the soil be
properly ventilated. The pore spaces
of soil not occupied by water are filled
with air. If these pore spaces are
large, of course there will be more air
than if they were small. For instance,
there is more air i'll a sandy soil than
in a clay soil
1t is necessary that there be change
of air. as well as an adequate supply
of air. In other words, the soil must
be ventilated. While IL change of air
is essential and SHOULD be frequent, yet
excessive ventilation is disastrous.
Too much air causes the humus to
burn UP rapidly. and plant food mate
rails are rendered available much fast
er than they can be utilized by the
crops. However, if there is no change
of air at all the plant will not develop.
Further. the bacteria most desirable in
the soil will not develop.
Proper ventilation can only be OBJ
tanned by cultivating the soil in such
a manner that the pore spaces are of
proper size. Tile drainage facilitates
soil aeratiOn by removing excess wa
ter and atfordinG an outlet for air
when there is IL change i'll barometric
pressure.-Orange Judd Farmer.

British Columbia is brighter and bet

birds which have been imported from

society of Victoria, assisted by the pro-

the insect pests that cause damage to
the fruit trees, the truck farms and
the forests.
Great pains were taken to procure
the most insectivorous birds of Great
Britain. In the opinion of L. Cunning
ham, inspector of fruit pests for the
province, wise selection was made.
The birds include II to Is dozen larks,
10 to II dozen linnets, & dozen gold

Mr. Cunningham recently, and the
bluetits come Il close second The

Mysterious Wealth.

Two curates, one good natured, the
other opposite, lived together. The
good natured one, the Western Mail re-
calls, went out for a walk and met a
poor man, who asked him for as
sistance. The curate said he was only
a poor man himself, but if he had a
coin in his pocket the man should have
it. Lo and behold, when he pulled his
hand out of his pocket he showed half
a crown. which he did not know about,
and gave it to the man, thinking he
had done an act of kindness. When
he got back to his lodgings he told his

the title of Margaret Ill. From her
earliest childhood she had shown an
independent disposition. In these
times she would be suffragette. for
she believed not only in women hav-
ing voice in the government. but in
their governing. Scarcely had she
been proclaimed when she startled her
people by calling for the resignation of
the cabinet and filling the places made
vacant with women
The queen filled other offices with
women, and the men were stand
ing about, holding their hands. Then,
fat political job being given to a
woman, the men thought it time to be-
stir themselves. They sent the most
accomplished. handsOmeSt and most
seductive men to the queen on one pre-

heart to attain their ends But the
queen saw through their designs and
laughed at them.
One day Il knot of politicians hungry

A shout of laughter greeted his offer.
Then some one suggested that for a
Joke it be accepted.

Margaret expected to see Il man of

HATS ONLY 500 YEARS OLD.
Charles II. Started the Custom, Which
at First Made a Sensation.


Once in awhile we do seem to come
across something which ancient peo-
pie did not possess. Hats apparently
figure among this number, notes the

For hats, we are told, did not be-
come well established custom until
some 500 years ago. In the year 1449,
when Charles ii. entered ROuen after
it's recapture by the French from the
English, the people there had never
before set eyes on Il hat. Their amaze
ment. therefore. can be picturd as they
gazed upon their king riding past them
in pOmp and on his head gorgeous
hat lined with varicolOred silk and
gayly bedecked with huge plumes.
Of course every one followed his eX-
ample. Hats began to make their APP
pearance in shop windows, and women
and men alike labored over the con
structing of elaborate headpieces, each
one attempting to surpaSs his neigh
Dor, if possible But they were eX-
Densive, and it was Il long time before
they could be worn except by the pros
porous classes
In the course of time. however, they
became Il more commonplace thing,
and people of all classes were able
to afford them.
