The Flea.

Speaking of feas-and they are a
common topic of conversation in some
parts of the United States-as com
mon a subject as mosquitoes in New
Jersey or flies in other places-certain
British and other scientists have late
ly discovered that flea becomes old
and inf1rm within twenty days after
its birth. although some fleas have
been known to live to be ninety days
old when especially well-fed. Up to
the fifteenth day of its career the flea
Is able to do considerable amount
OF execution. After that length OF
time 1t becomes rather sluggish and
lndlnerent. These are important ad-
dltions to the literature Of the flea.
1t has long been known that the flea
is no respecter Of personals, In fact,
very promiscuous in its associations;
that 1t Is extremely agile; that
settlement of f1eas anywhere soon be-
comes overcrowded; that fleas thrive
on most poisons; that they can easily
distract ones attention from the most
important topics. and that they are
meaner, much meaner than flies in
their manners-are, in fact the most
impolite of insects

WESTERN CANADA'S
NATURAL RESOURCES
PETROLEUM, NATURAL GAS, COAL
AND FARM LANDS.

The developments that have taken
place recently in the oil and gas fields
OF Western Canada have but added
another to the many previous evi.
dences that have been produced,
showing the great wealth that has
been an unknown asset for SO many
generations.
The latest reports from the oil.
fields at Calgary show that there is q
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time. It is said that
one of the wells is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour. If this is so
there are but about a dozen wells in
the world Of greater production. Dur.
Ing the past week discoveries of sur
face indications have been made which
show that oil exists over a consider.
able portion of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, while in Manitoba there have al
SO been showings. At Battleford,
Saskatchewan, few days ago discov-
cries were made which led to the fl.
Ing for leases on twenty thousand
acres Of land, all having strong sur
face indications. Companies were
formed to carry on immediate work.
and in couple of months, or probably
less, the story will be told whether oil
exists In paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
and tho qfuro1 dnn0cifc $Hok
helping to make of Western Canada
one of the wealthiest portions OF the
continent.
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches it is no wonder that a
continued range of optimism is to be
seen everywhere. Early reports of
seeding of all grains being successful
ly completed all over the country are
followed by reports of excellent and
strong growth everywhere During
the first week in June most of the
wheat had reached a growth of from
twelve to twenty inches, with the most
even appearance, almost universally,
that has been seen for years Oats
appeared equally we'll, and covered the
ground In way that brought the
broadcast kind of grin to overspread
the farmers countenance.
Barley, favorite with the hog rails
ers, had taken good root, and was
crowding oats for first place, as to
length of shoot. Cultivated fodder
grasses are getting great attention.
as consequence of the inclination to
go more largely into mixed farming,
and the raising of hogs, cattle and
horses. The weather is reported fine,
just what is needed, and if present
favorable conditions continue, the
grain crop of Western Canada for 1914
will be the largest average in the his
tory Of the country-Advertise

ON EGYPT's FAMOUS RIVER
Sailing on Its, Placid Waters Rowers
WeirdIy Chant as They Tug
at Their Oars.

AS we sat on deck, beneath the min
arets of the mosque, The skies slowly
turned from orange to lilac and purple
of night, throwing a strange pink light
over the city's buildings, Ariche Bell
writes in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The minosa trees and date palms be-
came black and great white cranes,
seemingly knowing that their wings
had an appropriate background, cir
cled over our heads, over the deep
azure river and over the many white
sailed dehabeahs that were floating
along in the breezeless night, propelled
by rowers who were chanting weirdly
as they tugged at the oars.
Dimly, we could see the black draped
figures of numberless women approach
the rivers brink and we knew that the
splashes in the water were caused by
the dropping of their heavy jugs, which
they twirl around till they are filled,
after which they raise them laborious-
ly to their heads and then skip up the
banks and disappear in the darkness
Of the night.
The sounds of the city ceased and all
was quiet. All but the plaintive lay Of
a piper who must have been some
where not far off on the bank OF the
river. 1t seemed that he was playing
the love song of Larbi of Benz Mora.
1t was monotonous and drowsy and in
voked sleep. In the morning before
dawn | heard the boys pulling the
stake near my window. | had fallen
asleep to native music and now l was
awakened by their song. AS we start
ed up the river, the clarion call of the
muezzin rang out from the minaret.
For good Mohammedans 1t meant that
a new day had begun-but for infidel
Americans, there were several addi-
tiona1 hours of sleep.

FAMOUS OLD MEXICAN CITY
slghtseers Look Upon Militia as One of
the Chief Points Of Interest
In the Country.

Among the many ruined cities of
Mexico dating back to antiquity is
Militia, Of unusual interest to the sight
seer. The name is a contraction or
corruption of the word Mictlan, mean
ing the place of death" The modern
village and the ancient ruins occupy
the center of an arid plain or valley.
surrounded on all sides by equally
arid hills, on the highest summit
OF which are the wellpreserved re-
mains OF a great fortress, whose
walls are Of rough construc-
ton and without ornament Of any
kind. Nearly In the center Of the
plain five great groups of buildings
stand out completely exposed. Many
OF them are now nearly shapeless
mounds and masses of ruins. Two
great groups, however, are In compar-
atiyely perfect preservation, a third
is incorporated with an old church,
and fourth, the great sacrificial
mound, is surmounted by the ruins of
a very ancient church. The principal
buildings are Of stone masonry.

TeachIuu the Children.

In the Woman's Home Companion
appears a department called "The EX-
change" In which various contributors
give household suggestions. A Texas
woman tells, as follows, how she has
taught her children to pick up their
playthings:
Being busy homekeeper with
three healthy babies to watch over,
try to teach them to help themselves.
One great problem is to get scattered
toys picked up and put away in proper
places. l secured a good-sized soap
box, which l covered neatly with
denim, and to which / fastened four
casters. At night this is our freight
train and it's very simple matter to
get my men to push the car around
and collect scattered freight (toys)."

Origin of Visiting Cards.

Some authorities hold that the or
igin Of the visiting card lay in the cir
cumstsance that, when Pericles first
laid siege to the heart OF Aspasia, he
sent her bouquet to which, fearful
lest she might not guess from whom
the compliment proceeded. he caused
to be attached strip of wood wherein
his name was cut.
According to Bertarelli, who. among
others, has been at much pains to COM
pile the history of the card, it is diff
cult to say whether it was first used
in Greece or in China. However that
may be, it seems to be an ascertained
fact that the visiting card did not real
~ obtain to any extent in Europe un-
til the time of Louis.

New Wireless for AeropIanes,

fected at Gloucester, Mass, a wireless

eminent. His instrument embodies
several new features which have not
yet been made public, among them a
new coherer 20 times as sensitive as
those now in use. This will enable
ayiators to receive messages as we'll
as send them. To the present time
the wireless instruments used on aero
planes have been only to transmit,
and the inability to receive messages
has kept the operators tied to their
base of instructions.

An invalid or aged person who en-

the magazines, with their bulk of adj
vertising, hard to handle. If the mag
azines are taken apart by removing
the little wire clips that bind the Sec
lions together, the stories or articles
can be easily handled separately. And
any article specially likely to be en-
joyed by friend at distance can
