SINGS PRAISE OF "BIGNESS"

Big! 1t is said that the soil that
produces big crops is found where big
men abound. After all bigness is
something of which every n is
proud. California boasts Of its big
trees, Oregon and Washington of their
big apples. Texas Of its big territory.
Oklahoma of its big oil wells, Colorado
of its big mines. New England OF its
big mills. Alabama Of its big iron de-
posits, Pennsylvania Of its big steel
industry and New York Of its big
banks. Everywhere bigness is the boast
of civilization. Nations vie with each
other to command the biggest part Of
thew worlds trade. In this great strug-
gle for commercial supremacy the
United States, during the past decade.
has been among the foremost because
Of its big men in the industrial, the
railway and professional fields. The
product Of this bigness Of men
has been a big country with big
wages. Let US stop cavailling and
finding fault. Let us put an end to
busting and smashing, and give the
widest opportunity for individual eff.
fort. Encourage blgness Of the fac.
tory and the pay envelope alike. Give
big brains a chance, whether In bank.

Air Brakes for Aeroplanes.

A highly ingenious device is about
to be embodied in a new British aero
plane now nearing completion. A diff
ficult problem, which has always con-
fronted the %aeroplane designers, has
been that of enabling machines to
land at a reasonably slow speed and
yet fly as fast as possible. The neces-
slty OF this provision may be gagged
from the fact that the modern aero
plane, with its full load, weighs the
better part Of a ton, and that the
usual flying speeds range from sixty
to eighty miles an hour. Accordingly,
Mr.. A. V. Roe, the wellknown de.
signer. has adopted the expedient OF
providing his latest blplane with what
he termed air brakes" These con-
sist of flaps hinged to the rear of the
planes, capable of being turned at
right angles to the direction of flight.
with the object Of enabling the pilot
to reduce his speed materially pre-
paratory to alighting.

Pigeons Fast Flight.

The Lanarkshire (Scotland) Homing
Federation had a most successful a
from Dumfries the other week, and
many Of the birds covered the distance
to their lofts at a speed of over sixty
miles an hour.
The fastest performance that has
been reported in the ace was that Of
a pigeon belonging to Messrs. Steuart
Brothers of Larkhall, which accom-
plished the journey at the rate Of fully
sixty.six miles an hour. In pigeon
flying these fast velocities can only
be accomplished when the birds have
the wind behind them, and should a
pigeon have to face a moderate head
wind. its speed would be only about
thirty miles an hour.

CHAPTER KIN.
Tho Help Of Mademoisene

The sound of a voice speaking. ap-
parently far off. was the first thing OF
which / was dimly conscious. The
language was French. and, for what
seemed a long time, no word sounded
familiar. My mind was blank of any
distinct impression, although there ap.
peared to float before me, in recollec.
ton OF some former existence. the
face of mademoiselle. Her wonderful
eyes were gravely smiling through a
strange mist that appeared to hide all
else in its circling folds. l could not
get away from their silent pleading,
their invitation. Then somehow that
speaking voice became hers, and
picked out a word here and there, de-
tached, meaningless, and yet recogniz-
able. struggled to o myself to
her actual presence.
The struggle must have been ply
sical as we'll as mental, for I became
conscious Of pain, a sharp pang shoot
ing through my body, as If a knife had
been twisted in a deep wound. The
agony brought me wide awake, my
eyes open, staring about, yet scarcely
realizing where dream and reality met.
Monsieur" the voice was a whis-
per at my ear; | could eve feel her
soft breath on my cheek. My eyes in.
stantlY opened, and looked into her
face az she bent above me. DO not
move, do not speak aloud-but listen,
| knew you were not dead; | found you
first and kept them away, but there is
no time now for me to explain. Are
you badly hurt?"
Il cannot tell, Observation-Disclosures
heavy bodies will not let me move"
She glanced about swiftly, as II in
fear Of being seen; then released my
limbs, dragging the two dead Indians
aside. I felt cramped, lifeless below
the waist, yet as the blood began to
circulate knew there was no serious
injury. She stared into my face as |
worked the numbed muscles, and her
eyes told me that she was frightened.
I'VE are alone here?"
Yes, for the moment" breathlessly.
1T Is your only chance; | have prayed
and schemed to get to you. We mustn't
lose an instant. Can you move, mon
sieur? Can you even crawl a dozen
feet?"
"Where-where do you want me to
go?" | asked family, inspired to ef.
fort by the firm, eager grip OF her
hand. Tell me; I'll try"
"There-iust to the left OF the fire.

They will be back, those fiends. they
will burn the cabin. Mon Dieu! Try.

got to my knees ono more, the
plea of her voice yielding strength and
determination. At whatever cost
would make an effort to please her.
With teeth clinched tight, | fixed my
eyes on the spot indicated and started.
Terrible was the effort!
But I made 1t inch by inch. shall

plished-only that she helped, and

the faintest thought OF why she urged
me on. Of what hope animated her.

Planting Hardy AzaIeas.

The hardy azaleas are usually In.
creased by seed sown as soon as ripe,
or in early spring. In boxes placed in
greenhouse or frame. The soil is sandy
peat; the seeds are scattered on the
surface. and a little soil sifted over
them, then well watered, Seed may
also be sown in live sphagnum moss
where 1t terminates promptly, but the
seedlings must be moved as o az
they a be handled. As o as the
little plants appear. they need plenty
