| that year Saxon Harold was the
King of England. Far to the north
ward he had made new march to
meet the King Hardrada and his
men of Norway. His traitor.brother,
Tostig, too, had sided with the foe.
And when his mothers son des-
patched messenger to know what
lands he might possess if that he
changed again to Harold. the King
sent back reply in these rude words:
But seven feet of English earth
for grave; not more" And next
day in battle persisted. King Hard
rada, and Tostig, and all their men.
Then went King Harold down to
York and held high wassail with
his mobiles. And in the very midst
of this carousal came tidings of
Duke William with all his knights
and men-at.arms at Hastings by the
sea. So Harold quilted York and
marched by day and night until he
came unto the high hill-lands of
Senlac, o'ertopping Hastings, and
there set up the golden orifamme
of England.

Sinking Of Wrecks.

Very little is known as to the depth
to which a ship will sink, as the
depth at which observations can be
made is limited. Any statement on
the matter must be in the nature Of
conjecture. In the case of wooden
ships, many did not sink, but became
waterlogged and fioated for years a
short distance below the surface, con-
shutting a serious danger to navi-
cation. The more modern types Of
vessels have occasionally f1oated for
some time in this way, being aban-
doned perhaps because of a leak, but
sinking eventually. A modern liner
which sinks certainly goes to the bot
tom in any instance where the nec-
essary observation is possible. The
greatest known depth of the ocean is
about five and one-half miles, and the
average, save in the Arctic and
Antarctic oceans where the water is
shallower, would be from two to three
miles. It is a debatable point wheth-
er a liner sinks to the ocean bed in
that depth, but when badly damaged,
as in the case Of the Titanic, 1t is prob
able that she goes a great distance
below the surface and may even reach
the bottom.

flous and threatening energy, were
rarely seen.
In the larger cities the modern
playground, with a tangle of yelling
kidlets. is a sight to do wholesome
hearted person good. The boy who
is chasing a baseball is not robbing
fruit nor loafing on the street corners
A playground entertaining a large
crowd of children does not fully
serve its mission unless carefully
supervised by some competent per-
son. The average boy gets altogether
too much fun from tormenting some
body under his size. Also the average
crowd of 12-year. is very far
from ready for self-government.
But even if a neighborhood or a
village can merely open up vacant
lot and turn the youngsters loose
the results are worth while.

FOR IDEAL OF RECREATION
Subject That 10 Worthy Of Much More
Study Than 10 Generally
Given TO II.

What women throughout the country
still need Is q freer association with
other women whose standards, social,
Intellectual and moral. are higher than
their own, writes Anne Morgan in the
Woman's Home Companion. AS peo-
pie we are TOO inclined to seek lower
standard for our recreation, to level
down. We seek a companionship
where no intellectual effort is neces-
sary; we choose a theater where the
entertainment furnished is a popular
musical comedy, rather than a play
with literary merit interpreted by tai
ented actors. Certain popular maya
zines with large circulation contain
stories and articles utterly valueless
in quality; other publications contain
ing literary and historical contribu-
tons by serious authors reach but few
homes. In our recreation, as IN our
work, we want immediate results with
a minimum of effort; to be entertained
generally means to be relaxed. The
splendid rest and refreshment that
comes with great, but different, intel
lectual or physical effort is known only
to the few. The ideal life would be
for the daily existence to be so ordered
that no definite holiday time would be
necessary-each twenty-four hours
would bring its own period of work,
play and rest. In our complicated civ
ilization, however. this is well nigh i'm
possible. It has been humorously said
that the only person who really needs
a vacation is the man who has just re-
turned from one.

MANKIND's DEBT TO BIRDS
Work Done by Winged Carriers Of
Seeds ls as General Thing
Underestimated.

Now and then we see thriving bit
of grass or Towering plant perched
in some impossible niche, high in a
wall or chimney. Sometimes the wind
has carried the seed there and with
the help of little dust and some rain,
the seed has found sufficient encour-
agement to sprout.
But 1t is not so often the wind as it
is the birds, who have deposited the
seed. Sometimes 1t has dropped from
their beaks in flight, but more aften it
has passed undigested through the in
testines and falls we'll fortified to
sprout This is especially true in dry
seasons. when the birds swallow less
grit and 30 the seeds swallowed are
not so readily ground up.
If it were not for the birds our
Christmas supply of mistletoe and
holly would be very scarce, as in the
case of the parasite mistletoe especial
ly, the seeds from the berries would
rarely, without birds help, find their
way up to the limbs of trees, where
they can attach themselves to the bark
and gain the needed assistance.

Give The Kids" A Chance.

Up to a few years ago, it never
occurred to older people that Young
America needs a place to play in. 1t
is commonly supposed that a live
boy would find plenty of amusement
in selling newspapers, running
errands, or hoeing the back yard
garden If he must have his game
of ball once in while, there was
the street or some ones vacant
lot.
AS a matter of fact it often
happens. even in the country town.
that there was no place where set
OF boys could play a game of ball
without being ordered TO quit.
Most American towns were laid
out with no provision for the
children. There was ample foresight
for anything in which money could
be made. Railroads and factories
never lacked opportunities. Land
was often given to attract them But

where young people could play their
games freely, and work off super

CompIete Culture,

Matthew Arnold defined culture as
acquaintance with the best that had
been said, done and thought IN pre-
vious ages, and regarded such &C
quaintance as essential to correct con-
ceptions of life and duty and ade-
Quate enjoyment Of the high priVi-
lege of living. And he was right,
but not entirely 30, for life 70 more
than culture, and some Of the most
cultured men have been the most
heartless oppressors Of their fell
lows. That which makes man man
is that he is made in Gods image, is
that his is q divine nature, that he
is destined to see him as he is. In
order to be a completely made man,
he shall need to give heed in his
preparation to his divine nature, to
the cultivation OF his divine attrl-
butes, that he may grow In greater
likeness to his Father and be prepared
to stand before his judgment throne
unabashed.--W. A. Harper. LID.

any unpre ejudiced citizen of the borough Will
testify to be unpronounceable.
When the men who are now striking used to
walk the streets of Roosevelt Borough on their
way to their homes from the fertilizer plants,
last summer, it was more than some OF the
townspeople could endure without stlmulants.
THE SALOON THE ONLY REFUGE
FROM SMELL.
There are eight saloons IN the borough, it
is said, and two days time in the region leads
one to accept the estimate as conservative
And it is also asserted that these places are
supported chiefly by those persons who are
now sympathizng with the strikers. With the
most fervent gestures men will tell you that
the particular kind of odor that sticks to the
clothes of laborers in the fertilizer plants,
long after trey have quit work and presuma-
bly, washed up is thing apart from all other
odors, and that saloon is the only refuge Tor
those attacked by it.
However this may be, the fact is that the
men who are striking get 81 90 for ten hours,
when they arc on the job, for hauling up to
1000 pounds at a time, many strikers told me,
OF fertilzing material from one part OF the
works to another-sometime half mile. Be
fore they haul it, or push it, in iron buggies
or wheelbarrcws, as the case may be, they must
load il.
1t is well for the laborers engaged in this
pursuit to be attred in clothing and shoes past

the bones arc mixed in a trough with concen-
trated acid AS soon as the bones begin to be
thrown in violent ebullition commences. BY the
time the whole of the bones are thrown in, 1t
was explained by one who seemed to know,
there is hardly liquid enough to moister the
last of them. The laborers, therefore, dig down
at one end of the trough till they reach the bot
tom. and then carefully turn back and mix the
whole quantity until they reach the other end.
The surface is then leveiled and covered with
