RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WILD
Something Hard to Define, but All
Lovers of Nature viii Have kpowI-
edge of What 1t Means.

The wild. What is that that il
should so impress the heart of man;
that it should have lured me all the
days OF my life, like music, a solace
and an enchantment? 1t is beautiful
in its way, as in very different way
cultivation is beautiful, but this alone
does not explain it's influence. There
is spirit Of the Wild, with which the
spirit of man acknowledges relation
ship as old as the race: and if the con-
ditions of his evolution from primitive
man have, in the course Of ages, sep
arated him farther and farther from
that original affinity with nature and
made him a wanderer from the father
land, that bond will never become
wholly thing of the past. It still
haunts and will haunt-a dim, inex-
plicable. subconscious memory of a
long buried past. 1t is natural then,
that in the presence of any bit Of
wild landscape, or patch of virgin
forest, some minds should experience
with thrill half return to an origi-
nal state-with thrill, indeed. There
is a wilderness motif heard in an in
ner ear by these men, as Siegfried
heard the Valballa motif. 1t rules
their stars, as might the wanderlust
or the passion for music or art

SCOTTISH SENSE OF HUMOR
Story Credited to the Late Henry
CsmpbeEl-Bannerma

Mr. Asquith, while unwilling a mon
ument to his political predecessor,
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerma in
Stirling the other day noted that
There is still an ignorant supersti-
ton upon the other side of the Dor
der about the existence, or. at any
rate about the limitation of what is
called Scottish humor Uaughter.)
"Of that superstition, if and SO far
as it still survives, CampbelI-Banner-
man was in his day the best standing
REPUTATION, for not only was his humor
undeniable, but when he was most hu-
morous he was most a Scotsman. If
the sense of humor consists. as some
people think it does. in vivid per-
ception Of incongruities, few men of
our time have been so well endowed
with it.
Your chairman (Sir John Graham)
told me last night little story which
I will steal from him and which, |
think. is very good illustration OF
what l mean. Sir John told me that
on the occasion of one OF Sir Henry's
elections here he was met in the street
by voter who said to him: Sir
Henry, / like you very much, but |
would rather vote for the devil. Sir
Henry at once replied without turning
a hair: AS your friend is not a can
didate, you might just as well vote
for me-"

NOTES A MYSTERY OF MONEY
Difference in Unit of Values Between
Belgium and Holland Is Puzzle
TO the Traveller.

There are good many mysteries OF
money and tariffs, and the wayfarer
through life is often puzzled. Why is
it that in the little step from Belgium
to Holland your whole financial out
look on life is altered? They live close
together. the Dutch and the Belgians.
But in coinage they are far apart Bel
GUM thinks in francs. Holland thinks
in forms. And when you step from
the one little country to the other you
find they are thinking the same thing
Goods in terms of money.
You have but to cross the frontier
between these small countries to find
the difference: Belgium lives on
francs, Holland reckons in forms, and
the amazing thing is that every one
across the frontier will pay about
twice as much for the mere luxury of
taking the form as a unit instead of
a franc. Now | should like to know
what is the economical reason of this,
says a writer in the London Chronicle
For Belgians and Hollanders appear
equally prosperous And the Hollander
lives on the form, while the Belgian
lives on the franc. The Englishman
who crosses the frontier finds the e1-
traOrdinary difference when he
changes his sovereign.

Women are especially subject to kid

KITCHEN HATH CHARM
CONTAINS POWERFUL APPEAL
TO HUMAN NATURE.
Writer Insists That Protest Of House
maids Union Is INSTRUCTED
There Can Be No Better
Place for Counting.


The housemaids of Cleveland, o.,
have formed a union. and they are
greatly excited over the question,
Shall we or shall we not consent TO
receive our gentlemen friends in the

better sleeping rooms-I hope the

matter with the kitchen? Is there
something disgraceful about it? Pray
tell! And if SO, when did its dis
graceful dishonor begin?
Ugly? A good, wholesome, clean.
bright, cheerful kitchen? Why, to my
mind, it's the prettiest room in the
house, declares Winifred Black in the
New York American. What's ugly about
shining floor, and clean curtains, and
a bright range, and rows of good cook
ing dishes?

about a kitchen, unless it is dirty.
Seems to me, if l could cook well
enough to hold good place, Id be
proud of it, not ashamed, and, whis-
per, gentle maidens of the House
maids union, never noticed any aver
sion to the kitchen on the part of any
man | ever met.
The average woman has to argue
with her husband by day and by night
to keep him from making some eX-
cuse to get out into the kitchen.
Don't send your young men away
from the kitchen, gentle Hilda, or

| see how mild and tamable the sight Of
that shiny range and those rows Of
delectable spices will make him.
If I had a young man who was a
little slow in coming to the point Of
talking about the fiat I'd never see
him anywhere but in my kitchen, and
I'd wear a good, big, clean, service
able kitchen apron, when l saw him,

Oh, yes, the tube skirts and the
elaborate hair are we'll enough to
catch his vagrant eye. but when you
want to really enchain him give him
a doughnut of your cooking, or a doz-
en- cakes or so with raisins in them,
and watch the caution and the reserve
melt from his manner like snow in
the spring sunshine.

Just acts that way to please YOU
What Ole really takes an interest in

Oil Against Steam.

Two new fuel ships, the Kanawha
and the Maumee, are now under con
struction for the United States navy.
The former will have two three-cylin-
der, triple-expansion engines of 1900
horsepower each, and is being con
stTucted at a private yard. The lat
ter, however. will be propelled by two
Nurnberg Diesel engines of approx
mately the same power as the steam
engines in the sister ship. Although
the hull of the Maumee will be con
structed at the Mare Island navy yard,
the engines viii be built at the Brook
Ign navy yard from plans purchased
abroad, and will be shipped to the
Pacific coast.
The two ships will afford an excel
lent opportunity for determining the
relative merits of oil and steam en-
gines under like onditions.-Power.
