The Thankful Heart

For all that God in mercy sends,
For health and children, home and friends;
For comforts in the time Of need,
For every kindly word or deed,
For happy thoughts and holy talk,
For guidance in our daily walk,
In everything, give thanks.
For beauty in this world of ours,
For verdant grass and lovely flowers,
For songs of birds, and hum of bees, and
For refreshing summers breeze,
For hill and plain, for stream and wood,
For the great oceans mighty flood
In everything, give thanks.
For the sweet sleep which comes with night,
For the returning morning light,
For the bright sun which shines on high,
For the stars glittering in the sky
For these, and everything we see,
O, Lord, we lift our hearts to thee:
In everything give thanks!

The Work That Birds Do.

In the current issue OF Farm and Fire
side, the national farm paper published a.
Springfield, Ohio, Judson c. Welliver,
Washington correspondent OF that pub
LEGATION, writes an article entitled "Birds
that Work for the Farmer, in the course
OF which he tells about the new federal
law which has been passed for the pro-
lection of birds that are Of practical help
to agriculture. Following is an extract
from his article:
sin truth, the birds do more work for
the farmer, at lower wage, than any
other part of his livestock equipment
W hat it would mean to have birdless
country was most pointedly suggested
to me by the story that West Indian
gentleman told me about one of the
islands OF the Caribbean region, with
which he was familiar. Many years
ago, he said, the mongoose, from the
East Indies, was introduced into this
island by people who believed it would
rid the place of snakes.
$50 the mongooses or mongeese, &C.
cording to the plural you prefer, were
brought along. But the results proved
that il was a sad mistake. The mou-
goose multiplied and throve; but he
proved to prefer birds eggs, as diet
to reptiles. In time he well-nigh de-
stroyed the islands entire bird popula-
ton. The reptiles and all manner Of
insectivora multiplied at such a rate
that the island, one of the very richest
in natural elements in all the world
has become a peculiarly undesirable
place of residence: its development hai
been retarded.

A Romance Of

But There Was Much In

By EUNICE BLAKE

Mary Blackmore had the misfortune
to lose her parents when she was SIX
teen years old and was left with no

of her mother. was the only person
upon whom Mary could rely for adj
vice. This lady had her own peculiar
notions. She regretted the necessity
for women to earn their own living.

CATION of the sexes. Reaching down
below this, she found prime cause
In the increased expense of providing
for family which threw men into
clubs, where they spent their incomes
instead of on homes. This In turn
gave rise to women's clubs, and the
separation was complete. Among the
poorer classes the result was depend
ent directly on the high cost OF living.
Such was the basis of Mrs. Ashurst's
views. Though acknowledging that II
men would not support wives women
must support themselves. she depre-
Gated the situation. When Mary asked
her to help her to get work the good
lady let out a storm Of reproach upon
men for spending their lives frittering
away their incomes instead of choos-
ing various good girls who would be

to concentrate the flow of loose change

Rose Crop a Partial Failure.


 A very pronounced rise in the price of cologne generally may take place as the result of tho deficiency in the rose crop abroad. The yield of altar of roses for the Bulgarian district known as the Valley of the Roses. where some 1000 acres are under cul- tivation, amounted in 1910 to $500 pounds, valued at s720,242. an average of slsO a pound, as against 1i.000 pounds, valued at $s95,436. an average of ssl pound. in 1909. The 1911 crop has suffered from frost and the price of the petals has risen from 1h to 1 cents a pound. Certain restfic- lions which have heretofore existed against the oil of geranium will be re- moved. and this will take the place of altar of roses in the compounding of fha rheanar narfuw~s
